"Well, I understand they're looking at her very carefully. I've always found her to be totally crooked, personally, but that has nothing to do with me. I think she's a terrible person, just a complainer. She comes from a country that is a non-country, and then she comes over here and she complains..."

[0:01] Well, I understand they're looking at her very carefully. [0:08] I've always found her to be totally crooked, personally, [0:11] but that has nothing to do with me. [0:13] I think she's a terrible person, just a complainer. [0:16] She comes from a country that is a non-country, [0:21] and then she comes over here and she complains about our Constitution. [0:25] I think she's a terrible person, but that's really up to the DOJ. [0:28] I have nothing to do. [0:30] Mr. President, have you spoken with the Saudi Congress [0:35] about the impact he's on Iran? [0:37] I have. I have spoken. [0:38] Mr. President, will the November election affect your decision on Iran? [0:47] No. It has no impact. [0:50] Mr. President, you played Russia organized a street fire at that Ukraine last night. [0:57] Do you have any reaction to that? [0:58] I'm not sure about that, and we'll take a look. [1:01] But all I know is that Zelensky and Putin have to get together [1:04] and end that ridiculous war. [1:06] This month, they lost 32,000 people in that war, [1:10] and it's ridiculous. [1:11] So they have to get together and get it done. [1:13] What do you think about the hooties? [1:16] Mr. President, what do you think about the hooties? [1:18] The hooties are misbehaving very badly. [1:21] They're misbehaving very badly. No good. [1:24] Mr. President, do you plan to use Kim Jong-un during your Asia trip this month? [1:29] Mr. I may. I may. Yeah. [1:30] Mr. President, that'll be an exciting one, but I get along with it. [1:34] Mr. President, do you think the red spots are people with Gail Oil, and are you considering firing her? [1:39] Mr. Well, we're looking at it. Yeah, we're not happy. [1:41] Mr. President, you said Russia and Ukraine agreed to a ceasefire, but both sides say they have not agreed to that. [1:47] Mr. Well, they agreed. You know why? Because I said you agree. That's why. [1:52] Mr. What are you talking about? [1:53] Mr. They agreed because I said they agreed. And that thing has to get settled. [1:57] That war is a disaster. Did you see the numbers that just came out this month? [2:02] 32,000 mostly soldiers were killed. Young people. 32,000 killed. [2:08] That war has to be over with. [2:10] Mr. President, how do you comment on the fact that Russia violated the ceasefire tonight? [2:15] Mr. Well, I'd have to look at it and see, because there's been violations on both sides. [2:20] Mr. President, do you think the Houthi attacks increased related to the U.S. mid-elections? [2:25] Mr. I don't know how it affects the election. I don't take that into account. [2:28] I just know Iran will never have a nuclear weapon. And that's now happened. [2:33] They're never going to have a nuclear weapon. But the Houthis are misbehaving. Yes. [2:38] Mr. President, Zelensky says he supports your energy ceasefire, but Putin doesn't. [2:44] What's your message to Putin? [2:45] Mr. I think they both support it. I think they want to make a deal, but they don't know how. [2:50] But we're going to get them to make a deal. [2:52] Mr. We haven't heard anything. [2:53] Mr. They lost, you know, the numbers just came out. [2:54] They lost 32,000 people, mostly young soldiers, last — this month — this last month. [3:01] And they have to make a deal. [3:03] Mr. Well, we haven't heard anything from Putin, sir. [3:05] Mr. Well, we're going to see what happens. We'll get it done. [3:07] The Press. [3:08] Mr. What's your assessment? How do you think the midterms are going to turn out? What's your — what's your — [3:12] Mr. Well, I think the rallies — right now, I'm going to Ohio. [3:15] I think the rallies have had a massive impact. [3:18] You see the numbers go up every time I have a rally. [3:21] It's beyond the area, too. [3:23] And every one of them sold out. [3:25] Every one of them has thousands of people standing outside. [3:28] In fact, we're getting the jumbotrons — you know, the big television set — [3:32] that go on the outside of a building because we want to take care. [3:35] We — we have thousands of people that can't get in. [3:38] I think the rallies are having a tremendously positive — positive impact and effect on the Republicans. [3:45] The Press. [3:46] The Press. [3:47] The Press. [3:48] The Press. [3:49] The Press. [3:50] The Press. [3:51] The Press. [3:52] The Press. [3:53] The Press. [3:54] You know, it's, I think, 2 out of 25. [3:56] But we've had a great presidency. [3:58] We have — the market just came out. [4:02] It just ended. [4:03] And we set another record today. [4:04] I think it's 84. [4:06] So, 84 times in a short period of time, we have the best stock market in history. [4:12] We have the best 401 s by tens of thousands of dollars. [4:17] Everybody's 401 is up almost $50,000 since his presidency. [4:24] I don't know how you can do better than that. [4:25] And prices are coming down. [4:27] And as soon as the war ends, which will be very soon with Iran, [4:31] the oil will drop like a rock. [4:33] And it's going to end very soon. [4:36] The Press, after NATO allies linking Iran to the U.K. [4:38] if they, in the U.K., will there be any action [4:41] against Iran for that, President? [4:42] The President, we're going to see. [4:43] There's plenty of action. [4:44] The Press, Mr. President, [4:46] when you say action against Iran, [4:48] they have no Navy, they have no Air Force right there. [4:51] Inflation now is 301 percent. [4:54] The Press, Maduro was indicted again. [4:57] There are a lot of people in the former Venezuelan regime [4:59] who are indicted. [5:00] What can we expect of that? [5:02] The President, what's your response to Republican criticism [5:14] of your diesel deal with Russia? [5:17] Well, I think these are Republicans that can't really be serious. [5:21] We have, you know, we make a lot of oil. [5:24] We could do a restriction on oil, [5:26] but the rest of the world would be greatly, [5:30] greatly affected if we do that. [5:31] And we could do a restriction, you know, a cap on diesel, [5:34] keep it all for ourselves. [5:36] That would have a very big impact. [5:37] And it's not really a deal with me. [5:39] It's a deal for the rest of the world. [5:41] So anything that could help our farmers, [5:43] our ranchers, I like. [5:45] And I do think this, [5:46] Zelenskyy has to focus on making a deal, [5:49] not talking about that. [5:50] The Press, Maduro, how are you going to make [5:52] Putin abide by the ceasefire? [5:55] The President, I think what's happening is he wants to make a deal, [5:59] and we have to get Zelenskyy to want to make a deal. [6:02] Where are you from? [6:03] The Press, Maduro, how is he telling you? [6:05] The President, you know, your President is a good friend of mine. [6:07] You know, I endorsed him, and he won, you know. [6:10] The Press, Maduro, how do you see his willingness to make a deal [6:18] when he's striking Ukraine, striking ships? [6:20] The President, I think they're going to make a deal. [6:22] I think, actually, Putin wants to make a deal more than Zelenskyy. [6:25] The Press, Maduro, are you going to ask you to leave the Paris? [6:37] The President, you know, the Colombian President is a friend of mine, [6:40] El Tigre, and he was a big supporter of mine. [6:43] That's why he won. [6:44] I endorsed him, and he won. [6:46] And he came from 10th place, and he won in a landslide. [6:49] And he's doing a great job. [6:50] El Tigre, he's my friend.
