Trump briefs media with Dana White as Stephen Miller takes over top White House post

[0:00] of the Hormuz Strait, so we're doing very well. [0:03] But at this point, it won't be necessary. [0:07] Taking the military action doesn't seem to be a very necessary thing, [0:11] but we're locked and loaded, ready to go for any reason that changes. [0:15] Israel and the entire Middle East are protected from Iranian danger and threats, [0:19] and we're seeing momentum toward the end of this conflict. [0:25] I think it's going to be ending fairly soon. [0:27] We're also seeing a very strong inclination to end Russia and Ukraine. [0:33] We're involved in that because I want to see people stop getting killed. [0:37] Again, 25,000 a month on average are being killed. [0:42] With respect to Iran, so in Vietnam, they lost 60,000 soldiers over a period of 21 years. [0:54] In Afghanistan, they lost thousands over many, many years. [0:59] In Korea, as you know, they lost about 50,000 soldiers over a period of four years. [1:10] But numerous of these wars went for over 10 years, and basically nothing was won. [1:17] Nothing was — all that you ended up with was death. [1:21] So we had two wars. [1:23] We had Venezuela, which was over in 48 minutes, and we lost no soldiers, [1:27] and we're taking in billions and billions of dollars a day. [1:32] And we paid for that war many times over, and we're getting along very well with government. [1:39] We're much in charge. [1:40] We're totally in charge and getting along well. [1:43] And the Venezuela people love us because we're bringing — the big oil companies are in there now. [1:48] They're taking in a lot of money. [1:49] They're seeing more money now than they've ever seen before. [1:52] So Venezuela was — 48 minutes it was over. [1:57] So let's say one day, but 48 minutes it was done. [2:01] And it's been, again, millions of barrels of oil are coming in every week. [2:06] Millions of barrels and billions of dollars. [2:10] So that's one. [2:11] And the other is Iran. [2:13] And Iran militarily is effectively over. [2:18] We're just keeping it the status quo. [2:21] And we're doing that, really, at the behest of countries that are their neighbors. [2:26] But it's a failing country. [2:28] It's got 301 percent inflation. [2:32] It's got problems like you don't want to even think about. [2:36] They're not paying their military. [2:37] They're not paying their guard. [2:39] Their navy is gone. [2:40] Their air force is gone. [2:41] They have 158 ships. [2:43] They're underwater. [2:44] They have 268 planes that were scattered all over the runways of Iran. [2:49] So their military is essentially gone. [2:52] Their manufacturing capability is reduced to about — [2:55] they can still make some limited numbers of missiles and drones. [3:00] But it's basically about 85 percent gone. [3:04] And they're talking to us. [3:06] And they're talking very politely. [3:08] And we'll see what happens. [3:09] But there's a good chance that that could get ended. [3:12] So at the conclusion of the military engagement, [3:18] the American people and the people of the world [3:20] will be far safer and more secure than they've been in many, many years, [3:25] because Iran was killing many people. [3:27] You know, that war was started in 1979. [3:31] We didn't start the war. [3:31] They did. [3:32] Even if you go back to the SS cold, [3:34] that was their — that was their situation. [3:38] And a lot of people were killed. [3:40] A lot of American people were killed. [3:41] A lot of people throughout the world were killed. [3:43] And if you go back just over the last seven or eight months, [3:47] 75,000 at a minimum protesters have been killed. [3:52] So it's a nasty place. [3:53] But we think that it's in pretty good shape. [3:58] We'll see what happens. [3:59] I don't guarantee anything. [4:01] But if we do have to go back in, [4:03] we are locked and loaded and ready to go. [4:05] With that being said, [4:07] I was having a little fun. [4:08] And I said, [4:09] how about Dana White being the press secretary? [4:11] You know, press secretary. [4:13] He's a great guy. [4:16] He's done an unbelievable job. [4:17] Most successful. [4:20] You know, we talk Don King, who's a friend of mine. [4:22] I got a lot of friends. [4:23] But you talk about fight promoters. [4:25] This is more than a fight promoter. [4:26] This is a man that's done the most incredible job [4:30] anybody's ever seen. [4:32] UFC, it's like broadcasting the NFL, [4:36] the numbers and what he's been able to do. [4:38] And he's done a lot of press. [4:40] And I said, you know what? [4:41] I want to elevate you. [4:42] I'm going to bring you into the press room. [4:44] And Dana White could be our press secretary [4:46] if you would only take the job. [4:48] There would never have been. [4:50] Even Caroline would admit [4:51] that Dana is really very unique. [4:54] The only problem is he'll talk for a little while [4:56] and then he's going to beat the hell out of you. [4:58] So I don't know if Daniel would like that. [5:00] I don't think Daniel wants to take him on. [5:02] But he's built an amazing machine. [5:07] He's got a big fight this weekend [5:09] at Madison Square Garden [5:11] with the two greatest women fighters [5:14] of all time, as far as I'm concerned. [5:18] Women's fighting, it's not a nice thing, [5:21] but they are very tough. [5:23] When I say no men in women's sports, that's great. [5:26] I would not want to fight. [5:27] However, I would not. [5:28] How would I do against one of them? [5:30] Would I do well? [5:30] I don't think so. [5:31] Not well, sir. [5:32] You said not well. [5:33] This would not be a good occurrence. [5:37] Anyway, but I thought I'd bring Daniel [5:39] because he loves the idea and I love the idea. [5:42] The only thing is we have other things we have to think about. [5:45] But he's a unique person [5:48] and he was seeing me anyway, unrelated. [5:52] And I thought maybe he would say a few words. [5:54] And I think he probably liked the job. [5:57] He loves the country and he would do a hell of a job. [6:00] So you were here, he was here. [6:02] And Dana, please say a few words. [6:04] Dana White, thank you. [6:05] I've always wanted to do this. [6:10] Who has the first question? [6:11] I have zero political aspirations. [6:14] I was in a fight for Zufa Boxing in London [6:17] when he called me and told me that he had done this [6:20] and the last 24 hours of my life has been insane. [6:24] But, yeah. [6:26] Good to see you. [6:27] Yes, ma'am. [6:28] I have a question. [6:28] A UFC cage match between President Trump [6:32] and former President Joe Biden. [6:34] Same age, same weight, [6:36] and considering like Styles make fights, [6:38] could you give us an analysis of who... [6:40] The toughest, most resilient human being [6:41] that I've ever met in my entire life. [6:43] Many times during, you know, [6:45] the last 8, 10 years, whatever it's been, [6:48] I have told him, [6:49] why do you keep doing this? [6:51] Why are you doing this? [6:52] When he was going through everything that he went through. [6:54] And, I mean, as tough and as resilient as I thought he was [6:58] after he got shot, [7:01] I, yeah. [7:03] He is a one-of-one unique human being. [7:06] And, yeah. [7:08] Would it be a knockout victory? [7:09] A knockout victory for President Trump? [7:11] It would be very bad. [7:13] Yeah, I think it would be very bad. [7:15] I can't believe you actually have questions for me. [7:17] Yes. [7:17] The President has said [7:19] he might consider a pardon for Pete Rose. [7:23] What is your advice to the President about that pardon? [7:25] I don't advise the President on anything ever. [7:28] But, yeah, I think it's fair. [7:30] I think it's fair to pardon Pete Rose. [7:32] Yes. [7:32] I would do that. [7:33] By the way, [7:33] but why does he need a pardon? [7:35] He was not really convicted of a criminal... [7:37] It was a tax charge, sir. [7:38] Oh, he did? [7:39] Yes, sir. [7:39] I'd give Pete Rose a pardon. [7:41] All right. [7:41] Let's make it happen. [7:42] I think Pete Rose was very mistreated. [7:44] He was, you know, [7:46] 4,200 and some odd hits [7:49] way ahead of anybody else. [7:51] A record can never be broken. [7:53] And he was caught gambling. [7:54] Now it's legal. [7:55] Right? [7:56] But he was gambling on his own team, Dana. [7:58] He wasn't gambling against. [7:59] That's different. [8:00] He was gambling. [8:01] He shouldn't have done it, [8:02] but he went through 40 years of hell, [8:04] and they never... [8:06] And they should have given him a pardon. [8:07] They should have given him [8:08] into the Baseball Hall of Fame [8:10] a long time ago. [8:11] And I spoke to the commissioner about it, [8:13] and he agreed to do it. [8:15] And then he waited, though, [8:17] and Pete Rose died. [8:18] So it didn't help him too much. [8:20] But I would give Pete Rose a pardon. [8:22] I would do that. [8:23] Thank you, Mr. President. [8:26] Just to confirm, [8:27] did you tell the President no [8:28] to the press secretary job? [8:30] I don't tell the President no to anything. [8:31] No. [8:32] I didn't say no. [8:33] I literally, everybody, [8:35] every media outlet was calling me, [8:36] and I didn't want to be disrespectful [8:38] and say anything until he said something first. [8:42] So... [8:42] Mr. President, what were you... [8:43] We were having a very bad press day, [8:45] and I said, [8:46] I don't know why, [8:47] I thought of his name. [8:48] He's been my friend for a long time. [8:50] I said, you know, [8:51] I think I'm going to get Dana White [8:53] to be my new press secretary. [8:54] And I said it to a group of the press, [8:57] and that was it. [8:58] I was sort of kidding. [8:59] And then they wrote the story [9:01] as though I wasn't kidding, [9:02] and you were inundated, [9:04] and I was inundated, [9:05] and he was here anyway. [9:07] We thought we'd have a little fun, [9:08] and we brought Dana here. [9:09] He would be fantastic. [9:12] Go ahead. [9:12] Freddie, Freddie. [9:13] Mr. President, for you. [9:15] The Press, Dana, first of all, [9:16] were you surprised by the results [9:18] of the midterms last Tuesday? [9:20] And, Mr. President, [9:21] you, on the campaign trail, [9:23] you had said that you had stopped Iran [9:26] from having a nuclear weapon. [9:28] Why not just declare an end to the conflict [9:31] and be done with it? [9:32] Because we have some great allies there, [9:35] and we have to make sure they're not hurt. [9:39] And they would be hurt. [9:40] They are, right now, [9:42] a lot safer than they were six months ago [9:45] because Iran has been very much decapitated. [9:48] But they're still the bully of the Middle East [9:50] a little bit, and I see that. [9:52] And we want to make sure they're okay. [9:54] We want to make sure it's a long-term solution, [9:56] not just a short-term. [9:57] They'll never have a nuclear weapon, [9:58] but we have to make sure that's a long-term. [10:01] So it's ending quickly, [10:02] but we want to take care of people [10:04] that have been very good to us over the years. [10:07] Thank you, Mr. President. [10:12] You told 60 Minutes that you felt [10:15] that your deportation policy may have gone too far, [10:18] but then you named the architect of that policy, [10:20] Stephen Miller, to be your chief of staff. [10:23] Have you told him that you want changes [10:25] to the deportation policy? [10:26] No, no, we have a very strong deportation policy. [10:29] There's no amnesty, no anything. [10:31] We keep that. [10:33] But we focus on the worst of the worst. [10:36] We want to get the murderers out. [10:37] We've gotten most of them out. [10:39] We've gotten most of the really bad. [10:41] You know, they allowed, [10:43] Joe Biden allowed 100, [10:45] well, 25 million people to come in. [10:48] Of that, 11,888 murderers, [10:52] most of whom committed more than one murder. [10:54] We've gotten most of them. [10:56] We want to get the worst of the worst, [10:58] and then we'll see what happens. [10:59] But they came in illegally. [11:02] Many of them have good jobs now. [11:04] They're productive. [11:05] Some of them are even paying taxes. [11:06] And we're seeing what's going to happen. [11:08] There won't be amnesty. [11:09] Somebody suggested, will there be amnesty? [11:11] No. [11:12] But they came in, they knew the law, [11:14] and we're working with a lot of different groups [11:17] to see whether or not. [11:18] But my policy hasn't changed. [11:20] What we are doing is absolutely the worst of the worst. [11:23] We're getting the murderers. [11:25] They allowed people to come in from prisons. [11:27] They emptied their prisons into our country. [11:29] Many countries. [11:30] And they emptied our prisons into our country. [11:33] The drug dealers that we have, [11:35] the people from the mental institutions. [11:38] Mental institutions all over the world [11:40] were emptied out. [11:42] Prisons all over the world. [11:43] The Congo were... [11:45] In the Congo, [11:46] their prison population [11:47] was emptied into our country. [11:50] All over South America, [11:53] all over Asia, [11:54] they did that too. [11:55] What Biden did to this country [11:57] should never, ever be forgotten. [12:01] And I hope the Democrats [12:02] will not try and allow that to happen again. [12:05] Just a follow-up, Mr. President. [12:07] We've seen the stock market [12:09] really take, you know, [12:10] up and down like a rollercoaster [12:11] the last couple of days. [12:12] Today, up. [12:14] Last week, it tanked. [12:15] Not last week. [12:16] Right after the election, [12:17] it went down $3 trillion. [12:19] That was because of the result of the election, [12:22] because the stock market [12:23] does not want to seat Democrats. [12:25] And your 401ks have gone way down [12:28] because of the ridiculous result. [12:32] It's not even a result. [12:34] It's almost hard to believe. [12:35] Now, I wasn't on the ballot. [12:37] I shouldn't take anything personally. [12:38] But I will tell you, [12:39] I thought it was ridiculous. [12:41] But the stock market went way down [12:44] right after that event. [12:46] Today, it's way up [12:47] because I think they feel [12:49] we have things under control. [12:50] Mr. President. [12:52] Thank you, sir. [12:52] Thank you, sir. [12:53] When were you first informed [12:54] that there was an issue [12:55] with Jensen-Quang and the affair? [12:57] And what was presented to you at the time? [12:59] What was the concern? [13:01] I would say that [13:02] when I heard about it, [13:05] first of all, I was amazed [13:06] because I view him [13:08] as a very high-quality person. [13:10] I've known him a long time. [13:12] It's actually the largest, [13:13] I think by value, [13:14] it's probably the largest [13:15] or one of the largest companies [13:17] in the world. [13:18] He did that with a chip. [13:19] You know, when you think about it, [13:20] he's got a chip that's 10 years advanced. [13:23] Can't be cut because of the complexity. [13:25] Can't even, the Blackwell, [13:26] can't even be copied. [13:28] He's an amazing guy. [13:29] I just hope it's, [13:30] I hope there's no problem. [13:32] If there is a problem, [13:33] we'll let you know about it. [13:34] But I hope there's no problem. [13:36] I believe he's suffering greatly. [13:38] I read his statement [13:39] and I believe he's suffering greatly, [13:41] more so because of his family, [13:44] his wife, who he loves, [13:46] and his family. [13:47] But he is definitely suffering. [13:49] And I hope so. [13:50] The Pressure, just to follow up on the, [13:53] when were you first told [13:54] of these potential issues [13:55] with Mr. Blaine? [13:56] You didn't answer that question. [13:57] The President, I've been hearing about it [13:58] and I've been reading [13:59] a little bit about it [14:00] over a period of time. [14:01] But not too long ago. [14:05] The Pressure, when is that? [14:05] The President, we'll look into it. [14:06] I know the FBI is looking into it [14:08] in terms of something else. [14:09] And I think that he'll be in good shape. [14:14] The Pressure, Mr. President, [14:15] you say the war with Iran [14:17] will be ending fairly soon. [14:18] But you've made this claim [14:19] dozens of times [14:20] over the past eight months. [14:21] Why should Americans think [14:22] this time is any different? [14:23] The President, I made the claim [14:24] that they won't have a nuclear weapon. [14:25] And they won't have a nuclear weapon. [14:27] When we knocked them out a year ago, [14:29] that was, I said I was going to do that. [14:32] And I kept my word on that. [14:34] Now what we're doing is we're, [14:36] it's really status quo territory. [14:39] We're keeping it going. [14:41] We have the greatest military blockade ever. [14:44] We have the new Iron Gate. [14:46] Iron Gate is land. [14:47] So by land and by sea. [14:49] And we will take care of business. [14:52] Look, Iran, I hope we're going to be able [14:54] to make a deal with them. [14:56] But nothing is going to happen. [14:58] And if we have to, [14:59] we'll take very serious. [15:01] We are so loaded. [15:03] We just have another aircraft carrier. [15:05] It's all loaded up to the gills [15:07] with brand new, beautiful stuff. [15:08] We're making more military equipment [15:10] and munitions right now [15:12] than at any time [15:13] in the history of our country. [15:14] We've built and are building more plants. [15:17] Our defense companies [15:19] are building more plants [15:20] than ever at any time [15:22] in the history of our country. [15:24] And many of those plants are opened. [15:26] Some opened and some are opening soon. [15:29] We're building new patriots. [15:31] We're building new tomahawks, [15:32] new THAAD systems. [15:34] And we have more under construction now [15:36] than at any time ever. [15:38] And we're taking it. [15:40] And obviously, [15:41] we're taking it for ourselves first. [15:43] What happened is, [15:44] and it wasn't so much Iran, [15:46] Joe Biden gave $350 billion worth [15:50] of free equipment to Ukraine. [15:54] Now, that was unbelievable. [15:57] Now they pay. [15:58] And we give it to the European Union. [16:00] We have a very good relationship. [16:01] We took them from 2% to 5% [16:04] is what they're paying now, [16:06] which is pretty amazing. [16:07] Nobody thought that could happen. [16:09] But they pay full for the equipment. [16:11] Joe Biden gave free equipment, [16:12] $350 billion. [16:14] And we are now building [16:16] more military equipment and munitions [16:19] than at any time [16:21] in the history of our country. [16:23] We just had, just in case, [16:25] we had another aircraft carrier. [16:26] We have many. [16:27] sailing over and just arriving [16:30] in the Middle East. [16:32] So we have three. [16:33] And they're all locked and loaded. [16:35] And hopefully, [16:35] we don't have to use them. [16:39] Mr. President, [16:40] are you going to bring up [16:42] the case of Jensen Wong [16:43] with President Xi [16:44] when you visit with him next week? [16:46] No, I don't think so. [16:47] I mean, maybe, [16:48] I'm sure President Xi [16:49] will ask me about it. [16:51] I just know Jensen very well. [16:53] I just think [16:53] he's a very honorable man. [16:55] I mean, he's a great, [16:56] he built a great company, [16:58] American company. [16:59] And I think he's [17:00] a very honorable guy. [17:01] And I feel very confident [17:03] that he'll be in good shape. [17:04] Mr. President, [17:06] in sticking with Jensen Huang, [17:07] when you went to China [17:08] earlier this year in May, [17:10] did you know about these [17:11] alleged ties [17:12] with the Chinese by then? [17:14] No, I didn't hear about it then. [17:16] But a lot of people [17:17] have heard about it. [17:19] And Jensen totally denies that. [17:21] He had, I asked him today, [17:22] because I did speak to him today [17:23] just to see if he's feeling all right, [17:25] how you doing. [17:26] And I asked him about that. [17:27] And he said he had [17:29] absolutely no idea [17:31] that the person in question [17:33] was a spy. [17:34] I asked him that question. [17:36] Did you have any idea [17:36] that she was a spy? [17:37] He said, [17:38] I had no idea [17:39] that she was a spy. [17:39] And I really believe him. [17:41] Yeah. [17:41] The Pressure [17:42] was a breakthrough on Ukraine [17:44] at the talks in Abu Dhabi this week. [17:46] And if so, [17:47] why do you trust [17:48] the President? [17:48] The President [17:49] I just think that Ukraine [17:50] and Russia are tired of fighting. [17:51] They're tired of seeing dead, [17:53] young soldiers. [17:54] Mostly soldiers. [17:55] Most of the people are soldiers. [17:57] Think of it. [17:57] They're losing 25,000. [17:59] Danny, can you imagine 25,000? [18:00] That's like a stadium. [18:01] Madison Square Garden. [18:03] You have your fights. [18:04] 25,000. [18:05] That's what it holds. [18:06] And they're losing that [18:08] every single month. [18:09] Dead. [18:09] Young, beautiful people. [18:13] And it's got to stop. [18:14] You know, it doesn't affect us. [18:16] But I'm able to get them together. [18:19] And we're meeting now, [18:20] right now as we speak. [18:22] And the meetings are going okay. [18:24] But we're trying to get it settled. [18:25] Only because we want to say [18:27] it doesn't affect us as a country, [18:29] but it affects me. [18:31] 25,000 people a month are being killed. [18:34] Mr. President, [18:35] a number of Senate GOP members [18:39] are urging the conference [18:41] to delay their leadership votes tomorrow. [18:44] We know that John Thune [18:45] is running on a post in the Senate. [18:46] Do you think that Mr. Thune [18:47] has earned the right [18:49] to lead Senate Republicans? [18:50] Well, look, he's a very fine man. [18:52] I know him very well. [18:54] But that's really up to the Senate. [18:55] And I like John Thune. [18:58] I wish they could get more produced. [19:01] You know, we've had Save America up there. [19:04] We've had, you know, voter ID [19:06] and proof of citizenship [19:08] and many other things. [19:09] It's not easy. [19:10] He's got some people that, [19:13] first of all, [19:13] you have 100% negative Democrats. [19:15] They never vote yes. [19:16] They always vote no. [19:18] That means he has to get [19:19] almost 100% of the Republicans. [19:21] And you have some Republicans in there, [19:22] I can name them, [19:23] but why should I, [19:24] that are very difficult. [19:27] And, you know, I said, [19:28] as leader, [19:29] you have to get those people. [19:30] But John's a good man. [19:31] I guess they're going to be voting tomorrow, [19:33] or maybe it's too late. [19:34] I don't know what the status, [19:36] but, you know, [19:37] he's a friend of mine. [19:37] I wish the Senate could get more done. [19:41] You spoke about Venezuela. [19:45] Do you plan on having elections there [19:47] before the end of the term? [19:48] At some point, yeah. [19:49] At some point, yes. [19:50] Mr. President, [19:52] earlier today you posted on social media [19:54] where you questioned [19:54] whether the midterm election results were honest. [19:57] Do you believe that the election was raved? [19:59] And separately, [20:00] did you watch Senator Thomas Massey [20:04] lay out his articles of impeachment? [20:05] No, I don't watch Massey. [20:07] Look, Massey's a loser. [20:10] He shouldn't be taking up the time of Congress [20:14] or the Senate [20:15] or anything that he's doing. [20:17] The guy's a stone-cold loser. [20:19] Would always, [20:19] he's a Republican, [20:20] always he would vote against. [20:22] We could come up with the best bill. [20:25] We could come up with, [20:26] and he would always vote against. [20:28] There's something wrong with him. [20:30] And I said, [20:31] look, I've got to challenge him. [20:32] And I challenged him, [20:33] and he lost in a landslide [20:34] to a very good man. [20:36] We have a very good man, [20:37] Ed Gilrayne, [20:38] who's great, [20:40] took his place. [20:41] But, you know, [20:41] I went and did something [20:42] that is very tough to do. [20:45] Now, I challenged others also. [20:46] I challenged Cornyn. [20:47] I challenged Tillis. [20:49] And I challenged, [20:51] if you look at Louisiana, [20:53] Cassidy, three. [20:55] So that makes things a little bit harder [20:57] to get their votes [20:57] because I wouldn't say they like me. [21:00] But of all of them, [21:01] I would say there's something wrong [21:03] with Thomas Massey. [21:04] He was an automatic no vote. [21:05] You could go in with the greatest bill. [21:08] Bills where even Democrats were voting. [21:11] And he'd be no. [21:13] And I said, [21:13] what is wrong with this guy? [21:15] He's a sick guy. [21:16] There's something wrong with him, actually. [21:17] Now, he's after Pete Hexth. [21:19] He doesn't like Hexth. [21:21] But really, [21:21] what has Hexth done? [21:23] He won the war. [21:24] He was in charge. [21:25] He won the war in Venezuela. [21:28] As I said, [21:29] 48 minutes. [21:30] It was flawless. [21:31] Nobody killed. [21:32] And he certainly, [21:34] I think he's won the war in Iran, [21:36] but he's certainly winning the war. [21:37] Iran would love to make a deal. [21:40] And they've been obliterated. [21:41] Their Navy, [21:42] their Air Force. [21:44] So he won the war [21:46] in two places, [21:48] two big places. [21:49] Very important, [21:50] very impactful. [21:50] And they were won. [21:51] They're not like Vietnam [21:52] when nothing was won, [21:54] or Afghanistan, [21:56] or Iraq, [21:56] or any of these wars [21:58] when nothing was won. [21:59] There was nothing won. [22:00] Just lots of death, [22:01] and then let's leave. [22:03] In one case, [22:04] they're not going to have [22:05] a nuclear weapon. [22:05] In the other, [22:06] we're making hundreds of billions [22:08] of dollars for this country. [22:11] So I say this. [22:13] Pete Hexth won two wars. [22:16] Oh, let's impeach him. [22:17] What about impeaching [22:18] the gentleman from Biden, [22:22] his person that disappeared [22:25] for two weeks [22:26] and nobody had any idea [22:27] where he was? [22:28] What about impeaching [22:29] the people that ran [22:30] the Vietnam War? [22:31] What about impeaching [22:32] that ran Iran? [22:34] Iraq and Afghanistan [22:36] and all of these other wars [22:38] where thousands of lives [22:41] have been. [22:41] You know, [22:42] we lost 18 people. [22:44] 18. [22:46] They lost 65,000 in Vietnam. [22:49] We're in there for seven months. [22:50] They're in there for 21 years. [22:52] What about impeaching [22:53] those people? [22:54] What about impeaching [22:55] the leaders of these stupid wars [22:58] that were done [22:58] when nothing was gained? [23:00] In Iran, [23:02] they won't have [23:02] a nuclear weapon. [23:03] That's a big thing. [23:05] Now, short-term, [23:06] probably bad for me [23:07] because people want [23:08] to have a little bit [23:09] lower energy cost. [23:10] We'll get it back down. [23:11] I created the lowest cost. [23:13] You know, [23:13] it's even lower now [23:14] than it was with Biden [23:15] and Obama, [23:16] but I've done something different. [23:19] They won't have [23:19] a nuclear weapon. [23:20] That's a big thing. [23:21] And with the other, [23:22] we're making a fortune [23:23] and we have tremendous [23:24] amounts of oil. [23:25] We're going to have, [23:26] we have more oil, [23:27] including Venezuela, [23:29] than Saudi Arabia [23:31] and Russia combined, [23:33] by far. [23:34] In fact, by two. [23:35] Yeah, please. [23:36] Do you believe [23:37] the midterms were great? [23:38] Sir, to follow up, [23:39] do you believe [23:39] the midterms were great? [23:40] Well, I think [23:40] the numbers were terrible [23:41] in terms of those early votes. [23:44] You look at all [23:45] those early votes. [23:46] And look at another one. [23:47] I'm watching Alaska. [23:49] So you have a guy [23:50] named Dan Sullivan [23:51] and another guy [23:52] named Dan Sullivan runs. [23:55] And one's a J [23:55] and one's an S. [23:57] And the one with a J, [23:58] which is the fake Dan Sullivan, [23:59] tries to have his initial [24:00] change to S. [24:02] He never ran before. [24:04] He never was [24:06] a political person before. [24:07] He was fraudulently [24:09] put in the race. [24:10] And then they tried [24:11] to change his middle name [24:12] so it was an S [24:13] that he confused. [24:14] So Dan Sullivan [24:16] and the woman, [24:18] Peltola, [24:19] is, they're very close. [24:21] He's only, [24:22] I guess she has [24:22] 400 or 500 votes. [24:24] But this fake Dan Sullivan, [24:27] because of confusion, [24:28] only because they're [24:28] meant to vote, [24:29] that's 2,500, [24:31] go under almost 3,000 votes. [24:32] That means he wins [24:33] the election. [24:34] But in addition, [24:35] they have a second person [24:37] they put in. [24:38] And they made a big issue [24:39] with the second. [24:41] And that person [24:41] has 4,000 or 5,000 votes. [24:44] Those votes should go also. [24:46] But even if you [24:46] don't include that, [24:48] you have a Dan Sullivan [24:49] and a Dan Sullivan. [24:52] And the Democrats [24:53] put him up [24:53] in order to confuse [24:55] the voters. [24:57] So anybody that voted [24:58] for that second Dan Sullivan, [24:59] the fake Dan Sullivan, [25:01] was supposed to be [25:02] a vote for the real [25:03] Dan Sullivan. [25:04] So they stole it. [25:06] And that election [25:08] should be called right now [25:09] because Dan Sullivan [25:10] won easily [25:11] if you add up the numbers. [25:13] Now, if you add up [25:14] the numbers [25:14] for the second person [25:16] they put in, [25:17] he's leading [25:17] by 6,000, 7,000 votes. [25:19] Go ahead, please. [25:23] I'll stand by him. [25:27] So even if he's impeached, [25:28] you're going to keep him [25:29] as your defense secretary? [25:30] He won two wars. [25:31] He was in charge. [25:32] We all won. [25:33] I had great people. [25:35] You what? [25:36] Massey says that he's carried out [25:37] a black flag. [25:37] Massey's a loser. [25:39] Just like you're a loser [25:40] at CNN. [25:41] Just like your ratings [25:43] are a loser. [25:44] Massey is a loser. [25:45] Stone Cold loser. [25:48] I ran. [25:49] I did something [25:49] that nobody's done. [25:50] I took on a guy [25:51] that was in his own way [25:53] sort of popular [25:53] in his state [25:55] and I beat him badly. [25:59] Beat him easily [26:00] with a man [26:01] that never ran before [26:02] but a good man. [26:05] Massey has a lot [26:06] of hatred in his heart. [26:07] I watched. [26:08] I heard what Massey did. [26:09] I don't want to watch. [26:10] I don't want to waste [26:11] my time watching him. [26:12] We won two wars. [26:15] We won two wars [26:16] and we've made the world [26:18] a lot safer place [26:19] and then we're supposed [26:20] to impeach. [26:21] Why haven't we gone [26:22] after all these other people [26:24] that ran wars [26:25] that lost? [26:26] What about this? [26:26] What about good old Lloyd? [26:30] Why didn't we go after him? [26:31] Why didn't we go after [26:32] the people that disappeared? [26:35] They're in charge [26:35] of the military [26:36] and they disappeared [26:37] from nobody knew [26:39] had any idea [26:40] that nothing happened to him? [26:43] What about all these [26:44] people that lost wars? [26:45] You don't go after him? [26:47] All I can say is this. [26:48] We have the highest recruit [26:50] the recruit numbers of [26:52] you know when I came in [26:53] when I was campaigning [26:56] we had the worst recruitment [26:58] people wanting to join [27:00] the military [27:00] in the history of our country. [27:02] We couldn't fill [27:03] any of the spots. [27:04] It was a disaster. [27:05] Now we have the best numbers [27:07] we've ever had. [27:08] More people want to be [27:09] in the Army, Navy, Air Force, [27:11] Marines, Coast Guard, [27:12] even the police, Space Force, [27:16] firemen, anybody [27:17] with a uniform. [27:18] So now we have the best numbers [27:20] we've ever had. [27:22] And I will say this. [27:23] The soldiers, [27:24] the actual soldiers, [27:25] the great people [27:27] that do the work, [27:28] the great patriots, [27:28] they love Pete Hexeth. [27:32] So if you go back [27:33] two years ago [27:34] before I got into office, [27:36] two years ago [27:37] we could not recruit people. [27:40] And you know that better. [27:41] The Army was way beyond everybody. [27:43] Now we have waiting lists [27:45] of people trying to get in. [27:47] He's done a very good job. [27:48] You have given Vladimir Putin [28:00] multiple deadlines [28:01] over the last 22 months [28:03] to enter into a ceasefire [28:04] but also to meet directly [28:06] with Vladimir Zelensky. [28:07] He has repeatedly ignored [28:09] your demands, [28:10] yet you have provided [28:11] able fuel. [28:12] Has he been fighting us [28:14] in the war? [28:15] Let me ask you this question. [28:17] At what point does appeasement... [28:18] Who are you with? [28:18] Who are you with? [28:19] With MSNOW. [28:20] At what point... [28:20] MSNOW, it's a fake... [28:22] That's a fake question. [28:22] At what point does appeasement... [28:24] MSNOW gets the worst ratings [28:28] in their history. [28:29] Used to be MSDNC. [28:31] It's one of the worst... [28:32] You're a fake network. [28:34] Go ahead. [28:36] Jennifer, Jennifer. [28:37] Go ahead. [28:37] Jennifer. [28:38] Go ahead. [28:39] Stephen Miller's first full day [28:41] here at the White House. [28:41] Stephen Miller's first full day [28:42] here at the White House. [28:43] Stephen Miller's first full day [28:44] here at the White House. [28:45] Stephen Miller's doing a great job. [28:47] What changes his day [28:48] to go far to the... [28:50] I just think he's going to be great. [28:51] He's been with me [28:52] from the beginning. [28:53] He's smart. [28:53] He's tough. [28:54] He's fair. [28:56] And he actually will get along, [28:57] I think, very well [28:58] with the Democrats. [28:59] And he's... [28:59] Would you like to put a deal [29:02] with Democrats on immigration? [29:04] I want to put a finer point. [29:05] They're going to try, [29:06] and, you know, [29:06] I'm open to it. [29:07] We're not going to have amnesty [29:09] or anything. [29:10] We're going to, you know, [29:10] people are going to do it [29:12] the right way. [29:13] You have to do it. [29:14] It's unfair to other people. [29:15] But certainly, I'm open to it. [29:17] But he's okay with the Stephen Miller [29:18] on this one? [29:18] No, no, not you. [29:19] Not you. [29:20] Go ahead. [29:20] I wanted you to put a finer point [29:22] on what exactly you were made aware [29:24] of the intelligence [29:25] around Jensen Wang. [29:26] Oh, I'd have to check. [29:27] But there are reports [29:28] that Secretary Grigio [29:29] put an intelligence memo out last year. [29:32] Did you read that memo? [29:32] Well, I'd certainly check [29:34] with the intelligence people. [29:36] They could have been mentioned. [29:36] Certainly, it didn't make [29:38] much of an impact on me. [29:39] Yes. [29:39] The Pressure. [29:40] The Pressure. [29:40] One of your first tests [29:41] for bipartisanship [29:43] in this new era [29:43] is going to be working [29:44] with Democrats [29:45] on this permitting bill, [29:46] which is expected [29:47] to get a vote. [29:47] The permitting bill [29:48] is a great bill [29:49] that's supposed to be bipartisan. [29:50] We are behind it 100%. [29:53] Are you going to whip that [29:53] in the House [29:54] if it's still harder? [29:54] The Pressure. [29:54] Well, we may see. [29:55] But the Democrats want that. [29:57] I mean, maybe they've changed, [29:59] but they want it [29:59] as much as the report. [30:00] And you're going to approve [30:01] wind turbines in the future? [30:02] You're very critical of them. [30:03] That's part of the bill. [30:03] No, I will not approve wind turbines. [30:05] Well, that's part of the bill, sir. [30:06] I know. [30:06] But I won't approve it. [30:07] Well, the bill [30:08] hasn't been fully negotiated. [30:10] I will not approve wind turbines [30:11] because wind turbines [30:13] are a major loser. [30:18] Is this still the plan [30:20] to take Cuba? [30:21] As you said before, [30:22] it was going to be your pleasure [30:24] to take Cuba in your mandate. [30:25] Do you still plan [30:26] on taking Cuba or... [30:27] The Pressure. [30:28] The Pressure. [30:28] Well, Cuba's falling. [30:29] It's a failing nation. [30:31] It's got an ideology [30:32] very similar to what the Democrat ideology is. [30:35] And it's a failing nation. [30:37] It's a communist nation, socialist nations, [30:40] sort of everything all wrapped in into one. [30:45] We have tremendous people who were treated very badly, [30:48] Cuban Americans, and they voted for me 94 percent. [30:52] And we take care of those people. [30:54] But Cuba is a failing nation. [30:56] We will help them on a humanitarian basis. [30:59] We are helping them, actually. [31:02] But we'll see what happens. [31:03] Cuba is going to be interesting. [31:04] I would imagine it will fall fairly soon. [31:09] I can't keep this man waiting. [31:10] He's a very, very proud man. [31:12] So let me ask. [31:13] Wait, wait, wait. [31:14] So let me ask you the big question. [31:17] Dana, would you like to be press secretary [31:20] of the United States of America? [31:22] Look at a sign you'd have this behind you all the time. [31:25] The White House, Washington. [31:26] Would you like that or do you just want to stay [31:28] with this ridiculous UFC? [31:30] Huh? [31:31] Thank you for the offer, sir. [31:33] I have no, no, I do not want to be in politics now. [31:37] I am devastated to hear this. [31:38] Goodbye, everybody. [31:39] Do you have any comments on the allegations against this? [31:42] Thank you, everybody. [31:43] Just to conclude, our country is doing really well. [31:58] We're respected by everybody in the world, [32:00] something that was not true two years ago. [32:03] Our country is doing better than it's ever done before. [32:05] Thank you very much. [32:06] It's on the Joe Rogan point bill. [32:09] Can you get along with the Democrats, sir? [32:13] You'll see you soon.
