[0:00] successful G7 summit I would say it's one of the most successful and this meeting could not have [0:07] come at a better time on Sunday we reached an agreement with Iran that achieves everything we [0:13] set out to accomplish everything and much more ending the current conflict reopening the Strait [0:20] of Hormuz and preventing Iran from ever obtaining a nuclear weapon that's what was all about that [0:27] was about 99 percent Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon they can't develop it by it they can never [0:35] have a nuclear weapon at the same time with this announcement or close to it as people started to [0:43] think it was going to happen when Iran was making some very positive statements the stock market has [0:50] surged to record highs picking up thousands of points over the last short period of time thousands [0:56] of points and oil is dropping like it has never dropped before at levels that went in in numbers [1:06] down seven dollars down eight dollars they've never seen anything like that but if we didn't do this [1:16] deal we could have dropped more bombs for another three weeks two weeks four weeks two years you would [1:25] never have the Hormuz straight open you would never have success your market would have instead of going [1:32] up at levels that nobody's ever seen before would go down at levels that nobody ever saw before maybe [1:38] except for 1929 or whatever then you know all the tough guys tough guys don't realize that this wasn't a [1:45] three-month deal this was years in the making you know why because I was the one that killed General [1:52] Soleimani and if I didn't kill General Soleimani we probably wouldn't be talking right now about [1:57] this deal because he was a mad genius they never were able to replace him but a lot of people forget [2:08] that the tough guys you know the tough guys that would drive the country right down the tubes [2:12] the past two days have provided a chance to discuss the details of this historic agreement with many [2:18] of our closest friends and allies including the G7 nations and many presidents and prime ministers as you [2:25] saw Prime Minister Modi was here we had a long talk he's a great guy they are thrilled that we made a deal [2:32] every one of them there's not one nation that came to us and said please sir keep dropping bombs on them please [2:40] keep dropping bombs the stupid people say that but I'm thrilled to report and by the way those last two days [2:48] were brutal 200 million dollars worth of bombs and you know it is expensive too by the way aside from [2:57] everything else and they knew I was coming for a third night we informed them we're coming for a third [3:02] night they they didn't have their Navy it sunk they didn't have their Air Force it's gone not one plane [3:07] they didn't have anti-aircraft equipment so we got free reign they didn't have their leaders but they [3:16] have a new group of leaders that I think is actually I think they're smarter I think they're very smart I [3:23] think they're far less radicalized and I think they're I think they're really good they love their country [3:32] you know you talk about regime change nobody will say that but I guess that's look there one set of leaders [3:39] is all gone the second set of leaders is all gone their third set of leaders a little bit gone but for the [3:46] most part and frankly I think it's regime change I think they're going to behave much differently I [3:52] think they see a different way of life that they were never exposed to so the one thing I didn't want [4:00] to see is I didn't want to see economic catastrophe if you kept this going that could have happened but [4:07] all I know is every time we talked about the possibility of peace the stock market shut up like a rocket ship [4:12] it never went down if they didn't like it the people you know the stock market is more brilliant [4:18] than anybody there is including the people on this stage other than me of course let's see I don't [4:27] know what do you think Scott is the stock market more brilliant than you no sir oh that's a that's a [4:33] terrible statement all right the stock market is quite brilliant and every time we said something [4:40] amazing like we're going to settle it would go up and every time we said something negative like [4:48] guess what we're not going to be able to settle it would go down very big Peter very very big [4:54] tells you something and you know I've studied presidents some good some bad some great not too [5:03] many are great and some really bad we had one just recently and the one president I did not want to be [5:11] was the late great Herbert Hoover I didn't want that and who knows what would have happened but bad [5:19] things happened so the past few days have provided a chance to discuss the details of the deal with the [5:26] closest friends and allies the heads of countries they were all here a lot of them far more than the [5:33] seven as you know a lot of them and they put out a statement I think President Macron who did a great [5:40] job by the way did a really fan him and Bridget they did a great job but they all put out statements saying [5:47] they love this deal because they want to see it over and they love the fact that the hormones don't forget if [5:56] we were going to drop bombs let's say we went another month another two three months maybe weeks could be [6:03] another three months could be whatever what do you have left that may be nothing but you don't have [6:11] the strait will never be open because people that own billion dollar ships these ships cost a billion [6:17] dollars they don't like sailing ships or having their ships participate when you go up the coast and [6:25] you go through the strait and there are rockets flying over your head they want to protect their billion [6:32] dollar investment you wouldn't have oil for maybe years these are stupid people but nobody was tougher [6:41] than me nobody hit Soleimani you know when I hit Soleimani people thought that was the biggest thing to [6:46] happen in the Middle East for 50 years that was the biggest event he was the he was the boss of Iran [6:53] and respected but but he was a mad genius he was a genius the father of the roadside bomb when you see [7:01] young men and in some cases women mostly men walking around without legs without arms with a face that's [7:10] been blown to smithereens it's Soleimani 95 percent 96.2 they say or something 95 percent that was [7:18] Soleimani did it happened to come from Iran and I blew him up you remember that I blew him up in the valley [7:26] of death he got off his plane and we followed him and and in all fairness because they've been wonderful to [7:34] me Israel but they didn't want to do that attack they were all set the night before the attack then [7:39] for me they didn't want to do it so I had to make a decision I made the decision to do it but they [7:46] were it was a joint venture as we say in the real estate business that was a joint venture between [7:52] Israel and us we studied for a month we knew what plane he was going to be on almost a month before he [7:57] only traveled on commercial airliners big ones with lots of people because he knew we wouldn't shoot [8:02] him down and very smart but we knew he was going to be on that plane followed him and then Israel [8:08] informed me that they won't do it and I had to make a decision I had some very good generals and not [8:16] the ones you see on television very good and I want to thank also Pete Hegseth and General Raisin [8:23] Cain who's phenomenal okay these guys are phenomenal they can't be better but I had some good generals and I [8:29] said to him well if Israel's not going to do it we're all prepared do we do it do you like doing [8:35] it or not he said sure if you want to do it we can do it how well we'll do it just as well or better [8:40] do it ourselves we don't need anybody so we took out Soleimani one of the biggest events to happen [8:49] the Middle East maybe ever but they say 50 years they say 100 years I was with the Prime Minister of [8:56] Pakistan he said it's maybe the biggest event that has ever taken places that nobody could believe [9:02] it so that's when it started it didn't start like three or four or five weeks ago and Obama [9:08] wouldn't do it what Obama did was he did the JCPOA he loaded up a plane with 1 billion 700 million [9:18] dollars in green cash from banks all over Washington Maryland and Virginia they were stripped of all [9:26] their cash they had no cash to do payrolls it all went into a Boeing 757 a wonderful plane and they [9:33] flew it to Iran and they gave it out to people they bribed people they thought they were gonna get it done [9:39] then they gave billions and billions of dollars after that and they got a deal that was a road to a [9:45] nuclear weapon I get so angry I guess I'm allowed to get angry when I watch these the Democrats they [9:51] talk about it all the time we had this deal done you had a deal that was gonna give them legally a [9:59] nuclear weapon and if that happened Israel would have been blown away and in all fairness to Bibi [10:04] Netanyahu who happens to be a good man gets a little excited sometimes but he happens to be a very good [10:10] man we've had an amazing partnership he's been an amazing Prime Minister who we have a little dispute over [10:17] Lebanon I see you can do a little softer touch Bibi you don't have to knock down a building every time [10:22] somebody walks into it that's from Hezbollah but it's been an amazing partnership but he will say [10:28] we're the big partner and he's the very small partner and that's true so he came to the country [10:35] and he begged Barack Hussein Obama the president not to do the JCPOA he said it could be the end of Israel [10:44] and it would have been if I didn't come along and Obama didn't listen to him Bibi actually went to [10:51] Congress and pleaded with them and he got nowhere and they had this horrible deal that was horrible [10:58] for Israel horrible for Israel and that's where it stood and then I came along and I terminated that [11:07] deal it had very little time left you know it was a short-term deal you know with countries you need [11:12] hundreds of years you don't need eight years and nine years this isn't like you're signing a lease [11:18] on a candy store the corner you need hundreds of years this was a short-term lease it expired long [11:25] ago had I let it run it expired you wouldn't have been around a lot of people wouldn't have been around [11:30] but Israel would have been terminated I think the whole Middle East would have been termed you saw [11:34] that when everybody was shocked and all these missiles they were aimed at these different places Qatar Saudi [11:42] Arabia UAE think of it Bahrain Kuwait they got hit nobody thought that was even I I didn't think it [11:51] was going to happen they didn't think it was going to happen they were going to take out the entire [11:55] Middle East including Israel and if they had a nuclear weapon they would have used it with it [12:01] within moments after getting it so I made it very tough for them when I terminated the Barack Hussein [12:09] Obama catastrophe JCPOA one of the worst deals NAFTA might have been worse but that was worse [12:16] economically this deal was really dangerous what he did he gave them everything including a lot of [12:23] money which we don't give them by the way just in case you have any question we'll be giving this out [12:28] so you can read it and you can see then it's a memorandum of understanding if it doesn't get done in 60 [12:33] days that's all right we go back to bombing you know I don't want to do that because it's so good [12:38] but we might have to because we're never going to let them have a nuclear weapon but they've agreed [12:45] not to and you'll see that very clearly in the agreement but then the second phase of that was [12:50] they were building or they were enriching material as they say I call it nuclear dust they were enriching [12:58] material under granite mountains granite being for those not in the construction business granite being a [13:04] very very strong the strongest stone it's not as pretty as marble but it's much more it's much [13:12] stronger it's a lot stronger like the new granite I put on the stairs of the White House going to the [13:18] Oval Office the black granite it's rated 1 million years plus no marbles rated that marbles rated a [13:25] hundred years if it's if it's outside so these are granite mountains and the B2s came along and [13:33] they hit those air shafts in the dark at 1 o'clock in the morning with no moon they had a beam going [13:39] right up everyone those guys did a job and then they were criticized by certain members of the press [13:43] like CNN for possibly not doing that much damage and it turned out that the damage was far greater [13:52] those mountains collapsed right on top of everything nobody's going to get that for a long time unless we [13:57] want to get it we will get it but we're the only ones that can and they say China has the equipment to [14:02] get it and we have the equipment to get it and it's actually not valuable not a lot of value but [14:08] would like to get it psychologically but nobody's touching it we also have cameras that's what Space [14:12] Force is we have the best we have the greatest military in the world by the way but I'm proud [14:17] of Space Force because I started it we have Space Force cameras on every single door every [14:23] well there are no doors have been pretty well shattered but every area of that if somebody walks in [14:28] and he's got a badge with his name on it like Mohammed something which is about a 50-50 guess [14:36] Mohammed something they can tell the name they can give you a serial number they we can see things you [14:42] wouldn't believe the quality of the stuff that we have that's why we've been so successful that's why [14:48] our blockade will go down in the annals of history is being unbelievable nobody's ever seen a blockade like [14:54] that just it's like a steel wall so what happened is we then terminated that and I call it the nuclear [15:03] dust and that was the end of that but if we didn't hit that with the b2 bombers or if it wasn't successful [15:09] they would have had a nuclear weapon a nuclear bomb at a very high level not the highest but it would have [15:15] been a very high level we have much bigger but we hope that we're never gonna have to use it we have the [15:21] most Russia has second China is very far behind but gonna catch up unfortunately you know they're [15:28] catching up but we have the most we have the most powerful but we also have the most but Russia is not [15:35] far behind and then you have China in third place but they'll within five years they'll be probably even [15:41] and we ought to make a de-nuclearization deal would be so great we don't need all of that we don't need to [15:49] be able to blow up the whole world 300 times over it's terrible it's really if we could do a de-nuke [15:57] deal I'd love it and one of those two is very willing to do it I will tell you but the other one is less [16:04] willing to do it and you need all of them so the deal we reached with Iran on Sunday will be signed [16:12] shortly tomorrow maybe the next day I think you know subject deals all my my whole life is all about [16:19] deals that's all I ever did is make deals and crazy things happen with deals I've gone into deals [16:25] where it's a guarantee no way it can not be signed and it doesn't get signed and I've gone into deals [16:33] that you have no chance of making and they go like nothing so but we're going to most likely sign a deal [16:40] they want to sign a deal and they've been acting very appropriately they took a big two hits last [16:49] week those are two very big hits so importantly Iran has agreed that they will neither produce nor [16:55] procure a nuclear weapon neither produce because originally they said they talked about that that [17:03] they will not develop a nuclear weapon and some people found it okay these guys didn't in all fairness [17:08] but some people but I didn't like it said it won't develop I said what happens if they should [17:12] buy I don't know it's pretty very dangerous for somebody to sell because whoever sells them a [17:17] nuclear weapon will get nuked themselves if they sold a nuclear weapon only a few they could do it they [17:23] would be nuked they wouldn't have that country loan so it's a very dangerous thing for somebody to do [17:29] but I wanted it in there so it's develop procure buy anything and you'll see that when you see the [17:38] agreement but it's appropriate that we release the agreement and we did send a copy to Israel by [17:43] the way they've been a good partner again I think they could do better with respect to Hezbollah I'm [17:52] not saying they shouldn't protect themselves I'm saying when two drones are shot into the desert and drop [17:59] harmlessly you don't have to knock down buildings in Beirut they could behave better and frankly they [18:06] could do a better job I I love them as a partner they were terrific but they could do a much better [18:14] job with Hezbollah on that I don't think they're doing well and I feel very bad for Lebanon Lebanon's [18:22] been you know it was a great culture it was a great they had the professors the doctors the lawyers it was [18:27] an incredible culture maybe the highest in the Middle East for years and years centuries and for the [18:32] last 50 60 years they have been just trashed they have been they have been living in hell so they'll [18:43] work closely with us to turn over the so-called enriched material that's very deep in the bowels [18:50] of the earth very deep nobody can get it so it's not important that we do it quickly but we could do [18:56] it fairly quickly when we have a chance we'll do it but in the meantime we have cameras on every inch [19:00] of it nobody can do it and if they do we'll hit them with Patriots that's all and they'll be gone [19:05] and they know that technical discussions on the removal of all stockpiles of enriched materials will [19:12] begin immediately we're going to start that immediately and unlike Barack Hussein Obama who sent [19:19] Iran pallets of cash and any relief they receive under this deal they'll have to get based on merit [19:26] and it won't be from us we don't have to give them anything but some people may want to invest like [19:31] what are you going to do say you can never ever invest in a country I mean it's pretty tough [19:35] I don't mind being tough but it's pretty crazy you can invest in a country you can invest in any [19:42] country you want but you can't invest there well they need investment because we did a trillion and a [19:48] half maybe two trillion dollars worth of damage so somebody's going to have to help them out [19:54] there's no guarantee about helping them out and could be their neighbors will help them out a little [19:59] bit I don't know but it's a lot of money almost nobody has that kind of money that's the kind of [20:05] damage that was done but we're not investing any money there was a fake story there was a fake [20:09] news story that got a man a person a good person JD made a statement it was a perfect statement and they [20:18] reported it in a very strange way but that's because that's why it's fake news I guess so we don't give [20:24] them money we don't give them any of that and what happens is with time if they behave if they be a a [20:34] citizen of the world a reasonable citizen of the world and I think this group again I think I didn't [20:39] do this for regime change but I think this group is regime change I mean hey the first group is dead [20:46] one little morning having breakfast the whole group they thought they'd never be caught because we never [20:54] bombed during breakfast but we bombed and they all 88 people and I'm not proud of that at all but the [21:02] second group came in and they were very unreasonable too and they were all gone they were all gone and [21:08] then the third group we've been dealing with a couple of couple left this planet but we've been [21:14] dealing with them and again they've been fine I mean I've had a lot easier I've had some easier ones [21:21] the tough this morning maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has already increased very [21:28] substantially and the normal flow of energy will resume in the coming days and and trillions of [21:37] dollars will be made by the world and the stock market will I believe continue to rise the only [21:43] difference is that a player that's very volatile very tough very smart frankly you know they have [21:49] in one way a primitive culture but it's also a genius primitive culture they're very smart people [21:56] very good negotiators but so are we so rather than possibly going into a depression rather than having your [22:06] favorite president be Herbert Hoover I was always the one I didn't want to be I wouldn't have preferred [22:14] Nixon I wouldn't have preferred there are plenty I wouldn't prefer but the one I always thought of [22:20] Herbert Hoover and he caused it he raised taxes too fast and he raised interest rates too fast [22:27] all at the same time and it caused the Great Depression so I don't think I'll make mistakes like [22:35] that I lower taxes I don't raise taxes in fact we just gave you the largest tax decrease largest tax cut [22:41] in the history of our country so we'll be working on a parallel effort with the Gulf nations to address [22:48] non-nuclear issues such as the conventional ballistic missiles which we'll be talking about [22:54] and support I mean they have to have some because other people have some you got to have some [22:59] somebody said they you shouldn't give them one and I have guys I like some of these guys but I don't [23:05] think this I don't think they're smart sir you shouldn't let them have any missile I said well [23:12] what am I gonna do I gonna let Saudi Arabia have missiles but they can't have them yes sir can't [23:19] doesn't work that way you know it doesn't work that way and missiles aren't the problem missiles or [23:24] they heard a little location but they don't blow up the planet so the Gulf nations will address the [23:32] non-nuclear issues as we'll be talking about the ballistic missiles and we'll talk also about the [23:39] terrorist proxies that they have that we don't want that to happen but I want to thank our partners [23:46] in both Pakistan and Qatar these people work so hard and they knew him a little bit in the case of [23:53] Pakistan quite well in the case of Qatar they were sort of at odds and you know Qatar was great because [23:59] they had right next when I flew from there from that location to Saudi Arabia I'd fly for 40 minutes [24:08] and I'd fly to UAE for 40 minutes two great leaders there by the way the case of Saudi Arabia the father's [24:16] still alive and he's fantastic and the son is going to be great he's going to be great the crown prince [24:21] and Mohammed at UAE is an incredible warrior he was dropping bombs last week I said who the hell's [24:29] dropping all those bombs it was UAE he's a good fighter Mohammed but every administration for decades [24:36] has sought to get Iran to relinquish its nuclear ambitions but the threat only got bigger the words [24:41] got bigger and bigger and stronger and bigger and nothing ever happened and Iran got stronger and [24:48] tougher if we didn't blow them up the first time and then blow out those weapons they would have been [24:55] unstoppable this should have done what I'm doing and what I did should have been done years ago would [25:01] have been much easier much less firepower but it wasn't and again I want to thank all those countries [25:09] and I want to thank Israel and Bibi Netanyahu so obviously the breakthrough would not have been [25:15] possible without the unprecedented pressure the United States put on the regime over the past year and a [25:21] half but again it started a long time ago it started with the death of Soleimani that was a big deal no [25:30] president in history has ever been tougher on Iran than I have and they know that and by the way if they [25:36] don't honor the agreement or some things aren't even mentioned in the agreement it's a memorandum of [25:40] understanding but we have an understanding of certain things without writing it and if they don't honor that [25:48] we'll probably go back to bombing them until they honor it you know it's amazing what bombs can do so I say it the Obama [25:58] deal was a road to a nuclear weapon and let's call it the Trump deal was a wall for a nuclear weapon that [26:08] the nuclear weapon could not get through nobody's going to get through it we built a wall they weren't [26:14] going to have it and that's what we have right now and it says very clearly the most important clause to [26:20] me to number one the straight opens but that's much less important than the other clause clause number [26:25] whatever five eight is a very strong statement that they will never have a nuclear weapon and it [26:32] doesn't say they'll have one in five years or 10 years or 20 years with Obama they were able to enrich [26:40] very quickly this agreement now provides Iran with a historic opportunity if they follow the path of [26:46] cooperation will have open for them their country will have a chance to survive now think of it you know [26:55] they have 91 million people people want me to bomb the bridges why don't I bomb I already did because [27:01] you know they went back on one of their promises and I bombed their biggest bridge the equivalent of [27:06] the George that was the George Washington bridge of Iran but we bombed that bridge you saw that one quick [27:13] strike by an f-22 the most beautiful fighter jet ever made by the way in fact we're ordering some more of [27:21] them we're bringing it out because it's so effective it's incredible it's incredible look we have the [27:27] greatest military in the world those b2 bombers are unbelievable who would have thought they could [27:32] handle each had two because the flight was so long but they handle three of the biggest heaviest bombs [27:37] hundreds of thousands of pounds and they handle them like they're nothing it's amazing and also they're [27:44] undetectable they flew into Iran totally think of it totally undetected now Iran's waiting for them [27:50] they're waiting for them and they never saw them one o'clock in the morning they never saw them [27:57] they're stealth and we just ordered 22 more the newer upgraded version which I guess is better I don't know [28:06] how the hell you get better but as I expressed to the world leaders here this week it's my hope that [28:12] the peace agreement will be the beginning of a much larger deal all across the Middle East we're very [28:18] close look at the job we've done in Gaza look at Hamas Hamas has been very silent you haven't [28:24] read anything about Hamas and we're trying to get them unarmed you know they grew up with a machine [28:31] gun in their hand I think they've actually when they were born they came out with a machine gun in [28:37] their hand so it's not the easiest thing but they've they've actually you know behaved pretty well [28:42] considering this was not the lifestyle that they were taught to have but including an end to all [28:48] Iranian aggression and they're not going to be Iranian aggression and an end to war and terror in Lebanon [28:55] so the Lebanon peace is something we'll have to work on a little bit it's a very small piece of [29:02] the puzzle actually but it still makes a lot of noise the big deal is the Iran deal that's where [29:08] the money is where the power was but they have Hezbollah and you got to get that done one way or the other [29:15] would do it I think Israel can do a much better job on it Syria would love to do it I was very [29:23] responsible for the gentleman that Syria that's now the president of Syria he's done a tremendous [29:28] job he's put that country together in a year and a half sort of like our country a year and a half [29:33] similar size they said don't please don't put him there he's a very violent man Al-Qaeda I said well [29:41] I know one thing a Boy Scout's not going to work and he's actually done a very good job he'd love to go [29:46] on it you know Hezbollah is an enemy of his and he'd go in and he but he wouldn't knock down buildings [29:52] every time he hears there's somebody he'd just go and get them with precision but I don't know that [29:59] people want that maybe they don't maybe Lebanon doesn't we have to be guided a little bit by Lebanon and [30:05] by the way the president is going to be coming prime minister president going to be coming over to [30:10] see us very shortly over the next week or two good man is you know man is living what a tough life he's [30:18] got because he's got tough groups of people and it's amazing amazing there is a Lebanon with all [30:26] they've been through they have been treated worse than just about I think anybody disrespected [30:31] incredibly so the expansion of the Abraham Accords is the other thing that we hope we're going to get [30:37] and I think Saudi Arabia if they lead the way they'd be doing themselves a big favor because [30:43] everybody that's in it UAE went in right from the beginning again he's a warrior and they never got [30:49] out nobody ever got out you think maybe during the war they were all afraid of everybody was afraid of [30:54] Iran and that's why we ended up with the original members but then when the election was rigged that's [31:02] right and I wasn't here at all nobody cared about anything the country went to hell in every way [31:09] that was the least of it Middle East was the least of the country went to hell allowing 25 million [31:15] people into the country unchecked and unvetted many of them criminals many of the murderers 11,888 [31:24] murderers allowed into our country so this was the least of it but the past two days have also provided [31:31] an opportunity to discuss a number of other key issues with members of the G7 and our partners [31:36] yesterday morning we had a productive conversation on the war in Ukraine I spoke with President Putin I [31:43] spoke with President Zelensky and he was he was there and President Putin I spoke over the phone [31:50] with and something's gonna happen it was a lot of people a lot of soldiers losing soldiers both are [31:57] losing a lot Russia's losing more because they're the offensive ones and when you're offensive in war you [32:03] lose more pretty simple but I provided an update on my call Sunday with President Putin and expressed [32:11] my continued hope we had a very good conversation with President Putin and a very very good conversation [32:16] with President Zelensky I think they both want to do something they just don't know how to do it they [32:23] want to do it they just don't know how in our session yesterday afternoon on international partnerships I [32:30] offered an update on how the United States is leading the world and responding to the Ebola outbreak in [32:36] Africa sending 375 million dollars in aid so far to help stop and contain the crisis at its source [32:44] and we've done great I was with the president of a couple of presidents came over by the way from [32:51] African nations and they were so happy with what we did but where it's unfair is we gave 375 million [33:00] the rest of the world gave essentially nothing maybe a couple of bucks but nothing and they were all [33:08] saying thank you so much and I think they've done a good job it's it's a terrible thing Ebola is a [33:16] terrible thing that's an unbelievable one fortunately it's not like COVID where it's that easy to spread [33:25] around but it's rough and we've done a good job we've moved people to certain quarantine certain [33:32] locations but today we also had excellent meetings on the economy and artificial intelligence which is [33:40] amazing what's going on with that it's going to be the biggest thing ever we have to be very careful [33:45] with it's both great and could be bad we have to be careful with it but we're leading China we're [33:50] leading the world on that we're allowing them to to do their own electric plants because they need as an [33:56] example those buildings are so big and they're not taking the community's electricity I gave them the [34:01] right it's my idea I gave them the right to build electric plants like Con Edison in New York dig we [34:09] must and they've come up with plants that nobody's ever seen anything like them those are like very high [34:16] IQ people so they're actually building electric plants so because otherwise they could never build a [34:23] building because the grid is old and tired and broken and a mess so they're building and they're going to sell [34:29] there very cheaply they're going to sell their additional their extra electricity into the grid so we take care of a lot of [34:36] things like California which doesn't have nearly enough electricity they don't know what they're doing there and [34:43] instead of having blackouts and brownouts they'll be able not to we found a great deal of unity here at the G7 and we [34:50] signed a declaration on illegal immigration the first time ever for a G7 statement they did a beautiful [34:58] statement we signed other agreements to step up the to step up and to really coordinate and spend a lot [35:06] of time coordinating drug trafficking and stopping of drug trafficking which is crazy comes through [35:12] Mexico comes through the southern border the little that comes through they find a way they put it their [35:18] genius if they would use that genius for for good they'd be very rich people they have it in engines [35:25] they have it in hubcaps they have it in areas you wouldn't even believe they have it in the structures of [35:30] cars most incredible thing but we've done a great job on it we have drugs coming through the border down 61% drugs [35:40] coming through water the sea ocean sea Gulf down 97.2% that's the ones that get hit just like we hit the [35:53] Iranian minesweepers and mine droppers they call them they dropped who would have 28 mine droppers who [36:01] who has 28 mine droppers they actually had them but they don't have many more we hit them just like we hit [36:07] the drug dealers but drugs are down by water 97% and over 60% they're down and now we're going to go [36:16] and focus on the land they come through Mexico Mexico has lost control of their country the cartels run [36:23] Mexico and it's sad and the president is a very good woman but she's a very scared woman the drug cartels [36:33] are totally running Mexico it's not even close we agreed to accelerate our efforts to secure our [36:39] critical minerals and rear-earth supply chains where we have great companies really going to town we're [36:45] going to give everybody a big run because we do it better than and we had to get motivated the G7 [36:51] also agreed the United States new approach to international development based on the private [36:57] sector investment is working at levels that they never thought possible it's really working I held a [37:02] number of very positive bilateral meetings including with the president of France we're very good meeting [37:10] actually the Emir of Qatar Sheikh Tamim who's I tell you I wish I could really know the guy you know some [37:19] people say well he lived in that neighborhood I can't you can't be you can't be saying things that you'd like to [37:27] have him say he was fantastic on this and he's he's been fantastic guy in terms of energy and getting energy out there [37:34] the president of the United Arab Emirates Mohammed bin Zayed who's an amazing warrior president el-sisi of [37:44] Egypt Prime Minister Modi of India we spent a long time together today I spoke to Mohammed I spoke to [37:53] the crown prince of Saudi Arabia a number of times they're all so happy that they're still you have to [38:00] them happy to you know we're using their airports not that they could stop us if we didn't want them [38:05] to but it'd be nice that I want to get that little sucker but I missed I hate missing but we spoke to we [38:16] spoke to all of them and many countries all over the world so every country I think Israel too look think of [38:25] what Israel's getting they're not going to be nuked it's very simple I told baby baby your biggest risk [38:32] was that they drop a nuclear weapon into the middle of Israel they'd only need one and there would be [38:40] no more Israel think of it baby you got the best the most important thing that you were asking for is [38:45] that so I think they're happy some people are going to be not him but there are some people some writers [38:53] some that I thought were friends of mine but I don't want them as friends anymore because [38:59] they're either stupid or they're bad people but we stopped nuclear holocaust and it stopped too I [39:08] mean there's not going to be any of that so from the beginning to the end it was clear that this week [39:14] America's back it's bigger and better and stronger we're more respected as a country right now I think [39:20] than we ever have been and we were a laughing stock two years ago they would laugh at us we had a man that [39:27] should have never been there you know that a man that would walk up to a podium once every year [39:32] and they'd ask him what flavor ice cream do you like I like vanilla then he'd try and find the [39:38] stairs which he couldn't find most of the time and he'd leave this is very unfair reporting and then [39:45] you said you didn't know about that you didn't know there was something wrong we can never let [39:51] that happen to our country again to me the worst we had the worst inflation ever we had the worst in [39:57] prices and the costs it's all coming down now because the oil is bringing it down you're gonna see [40:03] numbers that are going to be amazing but this evening I look forward to a very special dinner [40:07] with President Macron and his fabulous wife at the Palace of Versailles I sort of like that past [40:13] palace has a lot of gold I want to check it out it's a beautiful palace and maybe the most beautiful of all I [40:20] hope you're gonna get to see it the ones that are traveling with me I hope you're gonna get to see it [40:23] because it's amazing but they asked me if I'd stay a little bit longer and go to Paris so I'll get home a [40:29] little bit later but it'll be a nice dinner but I'm interested to see it I love I mean that's the [40:36] ultimate I guess it's the ultimate of its type Louis the 14th celebrating the 250th anniversary of [40:43] America's founding and America's oldest alliance and we're celebrating that a little bit tonight [40:47] they'll have the biggest people in Europe at the dinner and those people love our country and [40:54] hopefully Europe is going to find its way Europe is having a lot of hard times they're doing some [41:00] things very badly on energy and on immigration they're doing things very badly and we'll be [41:04] talking about that tonight so with that all said if you want to ask us any questions and feel free to [41:10] ask the people behind me yeah you've been clear President Trump the United States is not going to [41:22] directly pay Iran but the US is going to let the Iranians start making billions of dollars selling oil [41:31] accessing this reconstruction only if they're doing things right well if Peter only if we're not doing [41:39] anything we're not putting up money only if they're doing things right if they're doing things right if [41:45] people want to invest they can invest but they had this 300 million dollar fund it's only 300 billion [41:52] dollar fund it's only if they're doing things right remember this also when you talk about billions of [41:58] dollars they've had much more than a trillion dollars worth of damage done they got a long way [42:04] there'll be 15 to 20 years to rebuild what they have right now so they have to behave themselves if [42:11] they're not behaving they get hit again you know they'll be hit again because we can do it very easily [42:16] it's going to take a long way for them to build back their anti-aircraft stuff it's going to take and you [42:21] know the other thing I want to thank China President Xi I was with him and he stayed neutral totally neutral [42:30] and I appreciate it and I would want to thank Vladimir Putin he was very neutral they could have made it [42:37] much more difficult for us and I want to say it you know somebody would say oh that's terrible he's thinking [42:42] he's thinking President Xi of China well let me tell you I had a long talk with him you know they have [42:49] shoulder weapons to knock down airplanes that it's not like the real deal but they're accurate they're [42:55] fairly accurate I said I would really appreciate you're not giving or selling any of that stuff to [43:02] Iran and you know what for the most part he didn't so I just want to thank them because they made it a lot [43:11] better to explain though what the difference is between giving Iran US dollars and unfreezing US dollars for [43:21] all the unfreezing it's an easy one to answer we have taken a lot of their money and we have their [43:28] money we have taken them it's not our money it's their money and we froze it at a certain point in [43:36] time I guess we're gonna have to give it back you know if we didn't give it back nobody would ever [43:40] invest in the dollar again if you took their money because I thought about it you know I'm not the [43:46] most perfect person I said to Scott Scott why do we keep their money what the hell are we giving it [43:53] back to them but you know people from lots of nations some nations we don't agree with they have their [44:00] money the dollars become very strong under me and they don't want to have a little conflict with [44:07] somebody and end up having the United States just take their money so if you do that you really don't [44:12] have a system a wise man once said in January of 2020 Iran never won a war but never lost a [44:24] negotiation that wise man who said that Donald Trump that's what I thought you were gonna say [44:30] so how do you go back to the United States and convince a skeptical American public that this deal [44:37] well look here they lost militarily okay it's very tough because I know that no matter what if I would [44:46] go by the way if I'd go another three or four weeks so same people that are critical would say [44:50] he went too long he should have done you know no matter what if they raise the white flag of surrender [44:56] and if they said praise be to Allah Donald Trump is the greatest president ever we totally concede we [45:04] totally give up this war is over we have failed the New York Times and CNN and a couple of others [45:10] they're not all that dishonest they say Iran had a great victory okay and they practically do that [45:17] you know it's amazing when we knocked out their last year they had 159 ships when we knocked out the [45:22] last ship the Times refused to do a story on it they said what would you they don't have a navy [45:27] and you don't want to do a story and they don't have an air force you don't want to do so we need [45:33] a fair press it's and that's why they're all doing so badly because they lost credibility when I went [45:39] in a landslide and I had 93 percent bad press they take good stories about me and make them bad but the [45:46] only reason that happened is because they have so little the media has so little credibility that the [45:54] people voted for me 93 percent of the stories on network ABC is horrible I think ABC is the worst NBC is [46:03] terrible and CBS is terrible CNN obviously and I never get good no matter what I do I could do the [46:10] greatest thing I won't get good stories on this I'll get it from fair media I'll get it from all over the [46:16] world they're running good but no matter what I do I'm going to get bad press I know that now if I did [46:22] the opposite if I went out and continued to bomb them for another floor just bomb the hell out of [46:27] them I'd get bad press on that no there's nothing I can do but what this does is it allows the ships to [46:34] go if we keep bombing those ships won't be going and you're talking about 500 600 700 million dollars a [46:43] day it's a lot of money a lot of money that's why the world is okay it's liquid it's fine also we run [46:50] out of reserves in about four weeks you know there are reserves all over the world and we would really [46:54] run out and there'll be a time when you wouldn't be able to get it and you want to see bedlam so [46:59] for all those so-called geniuses that want to show me how smart they are ask them why didn't they blow [47:05] up General Soleimani ask that of the general and a couple of other people that I like very much but [47:12] boy are they wrong go ahead how about you thank you Peter I'd give you more Peter but people say [47:18] I like you too much thank you Mr. President bonsoir you know he told me that first day in office he [47:25] asked me like seven questions I answered all of them is this true he said he just answered more [47:31] questions in one meeting than Joe Biden did in four years okay you know I'm not going to get you in [47:37] trouble but that's what you said go ahead that's why Mr. President in the art of the deal you write [47:41] about the importance of leverage obviously you have a lot of leverage when it comes to Iran [47:46] whether it's militarily or through economic sanctions what leverage sir do you have when [47:51] it comes to Israel and Hezbollah to ensure that they abide by the ceasefire well I think we have [47:56] leverage just by the fact that we really have Iran now has to be good they have to behave and we [48:03] might help that's a much smaller conflict it's a conflict that should be able to be over with I'm [48:09] surprised it's taken so long and it's a much smaller but we have a lot of leverage we have [48:15] look we have the greatest military anywhere in the world we have the strongest most powerful look at [48:20] the blockade by the way the blockade was more impactful than all of the bombing raids where we [48:26] dropped a billion dollars worth of bombs on Iran the blockade was so incredible the naval blockade [48:33] the admiral the whole thing not one ship got through that meant no money got through they [48:39] were dying they had no money they have inflation that's 250 or 300 percent they have no money we [48:46] have tremendous leverage we have the leverage of the economy as an example we'll get that done [48:51] that's that's a small one and we'll work with Israel and get it done but uh I'd like to do it [48:58] I mean you have people living there buildings are being dropped on top of them or right alongside [49:07] of them how would you like to live there it's it's so unfair especially Beirut you know you go into [49:13] Beirut and I looked at the scene two days ago yesterday where they hit that was that was a big hit that [49:20] was unnecessary in my book yeah please uh two questions if you could clarify something you said [49:29] just a few minutes ago one of the goals of epic fury going into it you said was say it again speak up [49:33] sorry one of the goals of epic fury you said going into it was to destroy Iran's ballistic missiles [49:39] and its capabilities to build more yeah why is it acceptable to you now that they keep some of that [49:44] capability and Iran is Iran what are they keeping what are they keeping they have less than other [49:50] nations now we knocked out probably 84 85 percent of their missiles the rest of them are underground they [49:57] can't even get them out you know the other night's raid I think it was on the first night we knocked out [50:01] hundreds of their missiles actually by mistake we were hitting an area and it you know you can sort [50:07] of see when the bombs are going off and then you see one that looks like wow what happened a lot of [50:11] missiles knocked down no but what are you going to do uh let's let's spend another two weeks and give [50:18] them none they don't want to be firing missiles right now they're going to have a hard time rebuilding [50:23] they're going to have a hard time rebuilding and if people from the Middle East you know if people want [50:28] to invest and again they don't have to invest at all but if they do want to invest it does have oil [50:33] it does have probably a future but it's going to take a long time but are you going to let the 91 [50:39] million people starve to death I mean one of the things I was very intent on they have water [50:45] desalinization plans very good ones I could have knocked them out in five minutes just like I knocked [50:50] out Cargill and I knocked out everything but the oil I said 25 it was so complete the only thing there is [50:57] the pipes coming with the oil because I didn't want to ruin the world market because they do a lot [51:02] of money but I didn't want to do that no it would have been so easy it would have been easier and I [51:10] would have satisfied a group of 10% of the people but it would have been the wrong thing to do and [51:16] it could have caused and it could have caused an international depression Iran's position Iran's [51:22] position has always been that their nuclear program was for civilian purposes if they come back after the [51:27] signing of this and say they want to continue to have a civilian nuclear program is that acceptable [51:31] to you well I've said to them always I say look you have probably the third largest oil reserves in [51:37] the world what the hell do you need nuclear for you need nuclear for some electricity some so I've [51:43] always felt that way so we've been pretty tough on that you know it's also it is a little hard though [51:48] when you say that somebody wants it other people have it other adjoining states have it and you're not [51:55] letting them have it for purposes of electricity and things like that it's always a little tough [51:59] you have to use a little common sense please New York Times please thank you mr. president for the [52:06] question now that you're approaching a new phase in this conflict with Iran can you now say whether [52:12] you will hold anyone in your administration accountable for the strike on a school that killed [52:16] more than a hundred children on the first day of the war no if it if it was a fault and as you know [52:23] that's under investigation it's such a strange question to be asked at this state I was talking [52:29] about a long time ago but nobody did that on purpose I guess you'd have to say about them what [52:36] about the thousands of soldiers that they blew up when they opened their car door what about the [52:40] thousands of people that were killed by Iran no mistakes are made the war is nasty but I know it's [52:48] under investigation and I could have a report for you tomorrow or I'd ask I would ask Pete I would [52:54] ask Pete Hegseth that question because they have it under investigation please Mr. President you've [53:01] been saying all week that this deal permanently prevents Iran from getting a nuclear weapon but [53:07] the drafts the drafts of the deal that have been floating around barely mention Iran's nuclear program so [53:12] can you explain how exactly the deal achieves that goal so when I say permanently it should be [53:19] permanently but if it's not permanently we will bomb them they will be bombed just like I bombed them [53:25] on Wednesday night and Tuesday night and was going to bomb them on Thursday night at a level that was [53:31] three times greater and they knew that I will bomb them now that's with me as president if you have [53:38] a weak pathetic president maybe that doesn't happen but I can only do the job that I have to do I have [53:44] a long time to go I have almost three years close to three years it's time is going fast but our [53:51] country's become them we're the most respected country in the world those leaders today they [53:55] said we used to laugh at you two years ago that the same guys did laugh at the country and now they [54:00] say you're the most respected country anywhere in the world militarily even military take a look at what [54:07] happened in and look at look at what happened in so many different locations Afghanistan that horrible [54:13] retreat that these people made leaving equipment behind they weren't under any pressure you take [54:20] your time you can get out I was going to get out we're going to get out with dignity and pride take a [54:25] hundred percent of the equipment I was even taking the tents down but then they got in and they just left [54:31] they left all the equipment I may get all that equipment back now here's the thing more symbolic because it's a [54:37] little old now but we may get it all back Afghanistan is kissing our ass you know that bomb Iran if they [54:47] don't comply but there's nothing enforceable in the deal itself is that correct doesn't have to be I let [54:54] him know I said look if you don't adhere to the agreement I don't want to do that but we're going to bomb [54:59] the hell out of you and I don't think that they're going to veer from the agreement what else am I going to [55:05] do am I going to say I'm going to take you to court let me take you to court let me just let me sue you [55:09] no we're going to bomb the hell out of them if they violate the agreement I don't want them to [55:14] I want them to honor the agreement again the straits close up bad things can happen you know in war [55:20] terrible things happen like you mentioned the question before about a school gets hit other [55:27] things get hit bad things happen in war war is a nasty place I see it I see it I see it better than [55:34] maybe anybody has ever seen it go ahead please thank you President Trump oil prices are now [55:43] plummeting how do you see this agreement further affecting energy prices in the U.S. and the U.S. [55:48] economy in the long term and secondly Mr. President how do you think Vice President J.D. Vance did on [55:54] the view yesterday well first of all thank you for the word plummeting because that's what's happening [55:58] oil prices are plummeting and that means all prices are going to come down you know if you make donuts you [56:06] have a heating you have a stove and you have to buy the the heat you need the gas or the electricity [56:12] or whatever you're using and when oil prices come down oil is the biggest thing oil is you get oil [56:18] prices coming down and they're going to come down and we're hitting into threes now for gasoline and [56:23] that'll come down a lot lower so I was in Iowa just before this started and I was saying to myself [56:28] I can't believe we're doing so well but I have to go and we have to put out this fire in Iran because [56:34] I don't want them using a nuclear weapon they would have used a nuclear weapon a hundred percent [56:38] they would have used it the only question is was it going to be that day or that week they would [56:42] have used a nuclear weapon they were on the way and I said we're going to have to put out the fire [56:46] and I said you know oil prices so gasoline we passed two gas stations in Iowa made a speech up [56:55] there the people are great I want it by so much and I love the people farmers and we passed two gas [57:03] stations one was $1.85 one was $1.91 now that's Iowa but it was I mean California has all those crazy [57:11] taxes that they put on you know California taxes but the the oil was down to two dollars to I'd say [57:19] between two and two fifty and it was it was heading down further and we were going to have a great run [57:25] we took a little journey down to a place called the Islamic Republic of Iran and we bombed the hell [57:33] out of them and now they can never have a nuclear weapon now we had a disturbance but I must say it [57:40] was much less than anybody thought they all never went to $350 a barrel it went to $1.15 $1.20 [57:48] you all never went anywhere near that and the other thing I thought the stock market would go [57:54] down 25 or 30 percent the stock market a week ago before we started this was higher than it was when [58:01] we started which tells you that we have a very resilient economy we have the strongest economy [58:07] we've ever had now the word affordability is a fake word for but made up by the Democrats here's [58:12] where it's fake because they made it up because I inherited these prices and when I had my first [58:20] news conference first day they started screaming affordability the Democrats affordability affordability [58:27] they're screaming I say what's that all about they they gave it to me they gave it to me it's [58:33] affordability and they use that word to a fairly well well they were the ones that created the [58:39] affordability crisis I'm the one that got it down remember highest insurance rates in history [58:45] highest rates for everything eggs remember eggs they were four times more expensive than they were [58:50] in my administration and I got it down Peter very quickly our secretary did a good job of agriculture [58:58] Brooke she did a great job with eggs and everything else and now that the oil is coming down you're going [59:04] to see everything follow everything follows the cost of energy and we're going to end up having [59:09] the lowest energy anywhere in the world please yeah no please thank you you're from ABC you're fake [59:19] news go ahead to follow up on oil can you confirm will Iran be able to immediately sell their oil to [59:26] market and will US sanctions snap back immediately if there is a delay or collapse in the talks and [59:33] then relatedly is there any safeguard in this deal to prevent Iran from charging what they say could be [59:39] fees after the 60-day extension the thing that's going to stop them from doing that because you [59:45] can't cover everything in a document is common sense they don't want to get bombed they don't [59:50] want to get hit as far as sanctions are concerned at some point you know we have sanctions which will [59:55] never let them rebuild they would have no money they would be in poverty the 91 million people would [1:00:01] starve so something will happen as soon as they behave when they behave we're going to let that go we're [1:00:06] going to have to I put sanctions on a lot of people and then I let them go a lot of countries yeah [1:00:11] please thank you mr. president my name is Shinji Abe I'm a Japanese Yomiri newspaper company from the [1:00:18] Washington

is did you ask other G7 nations to send military force and [1:01:03] what specifically are you asking of Japan to send the air force for what oh other countries not just Japan [1:01:17] no no I don't need we don't need it oh by the way they all want to do it they all want to do it every [1:01:24] single one of them they want to go be a part of it now not while the war was going on I was a little [1:01:29] disappointed the UK I said yeah we nice if you sent ship I didn't put a hard sell on but as it would be nice if [1:01:37] you sent some ships and prime minister said they'll be there sir as soon as the war is over I said did he just [1:01:45] say that I couldn't believe it actually Japan has offered to get involved but I mean I'll be honest Japan [1:01:53] was not willing to get involved during the war I asked her I said you want to get involved a little bit I did put the [1:01:59] heavy sell on but they said no we don't want to get involved nobody did we did it ourselves with Israel [1:02:07] and with the Arab states that got hit surprisingly hit yeah yes please go ahead thanks a lot mr. [1:02:19] president and question on Brazil I would like to know how was in your interaction here in Evian during [1:02:26] the G7 with the Brazilian president Lula did you talk about the new US tariffs on Brazil did you talk about [1:02:34] the US designation of criminal gangs how was it I spent a lot of time with them actually and it's [1:02:47] become a little rough country right politically a little dangerous politically you're talking about [1:02:52] Brazil yeah it's been nasty I hear they arrested somebody that's running for office today I found [1:03:02] that out after we left I just said goodbye to him and I heard that they arrested the Bolsonaro Junior [1:03:08] he was doing well in the polls and they arrested him because he made a statement in Texas they [1:03:15] arrested him or they want to arrest him they have something out there is no right they play pretty [1:03:20] tough but nobody plays tougher than the United States look our elections are totally rigged we have rigged [1:03:25] elections please in the back yes sir go ahead thank you so much president thank you some Sakamoto the [1:03:37] assassin boom for G7 the concept of the rule of law has long been considered the core principle during [1:03:48] this summit any of the leaders express any concerns on the possible violation of international law on the [1:03:57] attack on Iran no no actually the opposite they felt they were very dangerous they were very relieved [1:04:04] because they could get hit too they were very relieved no we never discussed that they know it'd be the [1:04:11] opposite they broke the law they killed thousands of people they killed thousands of our soldiers and [1:04:16] hundreds of thousands of people yeah please go ahead go ahead okay mr.present yes yesterday yesterday is a [1:04:32] box and thanks for the Chinese government to help make a peace talk between Iran and the United [1:04:38] States so what do you think about the China's work to get the United States and Iran sitting down to talk [1:04:45] and make the deal and the second question okay okay let me answer the question okay so I think John has [1:04:50] been terrific I tell you that before they could have been bad they could have sent in to try and block or break [1:04:58] the blockade they could have sent in an oil ship with six destroyers alongside of it on each side they [1:05:06] didn't do that president Xi helped me he tried to help and I think he probably helped get it solved you [1:05:14] know they get 50 percent of their oil from that location so that wasn't that easy president Xi was [1:05:19] fantastic he he tried to help me solve it and he didn't give any big weaponry I guess something we'll find [1:05:25] something somewhere but he didn't give any big weaponry I can tell you that no I think China it [1:05:30] was I couldn't ask for much more again they were impacted because they get more than 50 percent of [1:05:38] their oil from the almost straight and no I thought they were fantastic okay how about one more question [1:05:45] right here go ahead please the latest you gov economist poll shows that Democrats have lost a five-point edge on [1:05:52] the generic congressional ballot they just have now just a two-point lead since February do you think [1:05:58] that they're losing momentum well I see the Republicans in generics you know generics are very important I [1:06:04] don't know how accurate because I see a lot of bad polls the polls are very dishonest just like a lot of [1:06:10] reporters like these people over here are very dishonest CNN ABC it's a whole group of them over there [1:06:16] they're really dishonest people but you know and and really networks are very dishonest and they have to [1:06:22] straighten themselves out or they're not going to be very successful because people don't believe [1:06:25] them anymore but no the generics are very interesting because the Republicans are coming up strong even [1:06:31] before this you know why they're seeing all these lunatics like the guy in Maine with the swastika you [1:06:39] know for 10 years they've been calling me a Nazi and now they have a Nazi running he's got a tattoo on [1:06:45] them I've been denying it for 10 years they know it's not so but they've been going I don't think they [1:06:50] could call it to me anymore you know what one more one more go ahead Peter let me finish with Peter [1:06:56] because he's been better to me than he's been to Biden thank you President Trump I have a question [1:07:04] about this weekend why not stick around for the signing ceremony with this Iran peace deal am I you [1:07:12] might yeah I might but I'd rather this is a memorandum of understanding it's very important but it might not [1:07:19] be the kind of a document that I should be signing there's some element to this where you send the [1:07:27] vice president if it works out great you'll look like a genius for sending him and if it doesn't [1:07:34] work out it's the vice president I like that idea sure what this way if it works out I'm going to take [1:07:39] the credit if it doesn't work out I'm blaming JD you better be careful JD he's going to turn his plane [1:07:45] around and get the hell out of here yeah I like that idea I think it's a good idea thank you very much [1:07:50] everybody thank you
