President Trump on Iran, China and American power — The Axios Show

[0:00] mr president welcome to the axio show thank you we wanted to make this more of a conversation [0:04] than a typical interview where we're just going to hop around from topics to topic and we wanted to [0:08] do axios likes to do one big thing okay and so the one big thing we want to talk about is power [0:14] and how you think about it and how you wield it a decade ago you first became president and you've [0:24] had loads of experience since then in that span of time what is the one big thing you've learned [0:30] about wielding power well i think you have to do it judiciously i think that uh experience is good i [0:40] always say that potential is far more important in other words having ability is far more important [0:47] than experience but having both is very good and i learned a lot during the first administration and [0:54] i was told just the other day because you know we had a tremendous g7 and very dominant g7 we got [1:03] what i wanted and somebody said the other day that this is a far more powerful administration or [1:10] term than the first one and we had a good first term you know we had the best economy we had a [1:15] lot of good things happening we built the military we did a good job but i feel it's a more powerful [1:22] term than the first one now that comes with experience it also comes by having somebody [1:27] precede you who was a disaster the man was a disaster and so when you compare to somebody like [1:33] that you look maybe better than you are that's possible but but um i feel that it's a very [1:41] powerful administration right now you mentioned the g7 uh you saw a number of world leaders [1:48] you walked in and you said i'm the boss yeah uh how many of them believe that all of them but i was [1:54] just being funny what happened is they're all sitting and then i walked into the room and it was just [2:00] sort of funny because a very long table but there's only seven of them the table was meant for like [2:05] 30 people so the whole end of the day would look like almost the perfect podium type setup right and [2:13] i saw them all sitting they're all well-known figures right the heads of countries they had a [2:18] couple of others in there too as you know some like as an example uh moti of india great great guy [2:24] a lot of a lot of people came uh they're allowed to come if they want and sit but i walked in there [2:30] these leaders and i just looked at him i said i'm the boss and you remember and you know that was [2:36] done as a joke this thing got carried all over the world i can't believe it i was just being [2:41] cute funny i wasn't trying to be the boss you have experience obviously with world leaders [2:47] for from your two terms what's your definition of a great leader how do you define well you have so many [2:53] different types of leaders yesterday as an example i'll mention the name again because pretty great [2:59] you know all my life i've watched india they just kept changing changing changing somebody would [3:05] be there for six months and then a year and then all of a sudden prime minister modi ends up there [3:11] he's been there for more than 12 years very solid and he does it through like there's a great calmness [3:20] and yet he's not a calm person he's a very tough guy i know very well and you have such different [3:26] leaders uh i watched brazil the leader who i know a little bit we have some he's a very volatile person [3:35] you know you're not a fan of lula if i'm not i'm not a fan or not a fan i don't think about him to be [3:40] honest with you i don't really think about him i couldn't care less but he's a different kind of a [3:45] person now very volatile i watched uh as he made a speech it was a very well and it's fine it's all [3:52] different times so when you say about leaders when you say about you know what do they all have in [3:57] common look uh they're all smart you can't get to that level without being smart you know who's very [4:05] smart is president chi of china he's a very smart man uh you don't get to those levels where you're [4:12] running a country even if it was a small country you have something special now in some cases it [4:18] doesn't work out but you need something special it's not an easy thing to do what is it about [4:25] she that you find most admiral so we have a very good relationship and you probably heard me say [4:32] yesterday i said you know i want to thank him because he didn't get involved with the whole thing [4:37] with the ran he could have gotten involved he could have sent a nice oil ship surrounded by 12 destroyers [4:43] and see if he could blast his way through the blockade which was an unbelievable military [4:49] i think it's going to go down as one of the great military maneuvers it was it was every bit as [4:54] important as all the bombing we did it really uh they they were dying they had no money no nothing [5:01] for months but president chi i asked him i said i'd really appreciate you not getting involved and he [5:09] was great he didn't get involved and i think if somebody else would have said that i don't think [5:13] somebody else would have even asked him that but i did i get along with him well he's a strong man [5:19] he's no games he won't sit down and say oh what a beautiful day this is a wonderful day mark look [5:25] how beautiful look at the look at the sunshine there's none of that stuff it's like all business [5:30] which i like i think it's great is there something about the chinese system that you think advantages [5:35] him and his country that you wish you were here well it's actually supposed to be a disadvantage you [5:41] know we have the entrepreneurship and all the things you read about but they're there just about as quick [5:47] as we are you know you go to a something's hot and we get there and the chinese are standing there [5:52] before us or we beat them by a little bit but we're i'll tell you we're beating them on ai we have the [5:59] strongest military in the world we have the most powerful military in the world he admitted to me [6:04] you have the most powerful we had i did a great job i rebuilt our military in the first term and did it [6:11] well look take a look at venezuela 48 minutes the whole thing was over 48 minutes and by the way now [6:18] we have a great relationship and where we've paid for that war with venezuela many many many times [6:25] we're taking out millions of barrels of oil and we're making them more money than they've ever made [6:30] before all the big oil companies are moving in it's amazing there's no place with that kind of oil i [6:35] guess us maybe we have the most uh then they're probably second or third obviously i if i ask you [6:43] who are the two greatest or leaders you like the most on the world stage i'd assume one of them is g [6:51] yeah i i think in terms of leadership i think that's true who's the other when you think when [6:56] you think of power and leverage and the ability to execute on that well i think modi is very good yeah [7:03] uh they've had some very good numbers announced he stays out of wars which is smart he's uh 1.5 [7:10] billion people he's actually the biggest india's actually the biggest modi's a great leader and we [7:16] do a lot of business with them but now we do fair business they used to really rip us off i don't [7:21] blame them for that you know we had stupid politicians but that allowed that to happen but now we we do a lot [7:26] of business they're not that happy about it because they used to do a lot better so but modi's great [7:33] uh president she is great classics you know i mean if you were going to make a movie about either one [7:40] of them you uh you wouldn't be able to find the man in hollywood i'm telling you it's like as an [7:48] example the look of she's got a great look you know looks don't matter right you know we don't like [7:52] that they say don't talk about looks but he's uh you know he's tall he's six foot two he's he's uh [7:59] got a great stature he's got great confidence and he's smart uh modi in a very different way he's [8:05] just highly respected i've seen you know i know the the real modi is a very tough cookie [8:11] um i'll tell you you have i got to know something that i didn't know very well in pakistan [8:17] you have the field marshal who's uh great muneer he's great and you have the and the prime minister [8:25] and they just get along great i figured well maybe the military guy would be he totally respects the [8:30] prime minister it's a beautiful thing to see but they really helped us with this deal they were you [8:35] know they knew the iranians they knew the people and they were good you have leaders in uh i mean you [8:41] have so many different types for the most part if you're a smart person you can understand you know [8:47] you you know to be in these positions you have to be smart you have to be tough uh maybe smart [8:54] even more so but the combination is probably better but we have there are a lot of great leaders out [9:00] there and there are a lot of really bad ones okay we'll talk about that i know who's the bad [9:05] who are the two who are the two weak well i i i can't say that because i guess i will tell you though [9:11] that uh this couple of days was interesting it was held in france and emmanuel macron of france who [9:22] won't be there that much longer he's the president and he uh he was i'll tell you what he did a great [9:32] job of hosting the g7 really good no games no nothing and he invited me about a week before he said would [9:42] you do me a favor would you come into paris we'd like to honor you i view it as honoring the nation [9:50] but he said i'd like to honor you and he had the biggest people in europe there and beyond i mean [9:54] some people in versailles and i was sort of not going to do it but he knew my weakness because i [10:01] think versailles is one of the great places so i think what's your weakness like places like versailles [10:07] but no it's incredible so and it's not something they do i understand that they don't do that they [10:12] don't do dinners at versailles and we had a fantastic dinner i think he did a fantastic job [10:17] i'll tell you with the g7 i've seen uh g7s i've been to a lot of g7s and used to be g8s [10:25] they should have kept the g8 you probably wouldn't have the war with russia and ukraine if they did but [10:30] obama didn't want putin there i guess one or two others also but they wanted putin out it used to be the [10:37] g8 would have been much better if they kept it that way it's not always great days like this [10:55] when there's no one complaining you're good tonight [11:13] shift to iran uh there's now light at the end of the tunnel for the conflict what have you learned [11:24] about not just the exercise of power but the limits on your power as a result of the conflict there are no [11:30] limits no no not i haven't learned that lesson yet i know there are but you know there are no limits [11:36] we defeated them totally militarily uh i was asked by pakistan because they're close to please [11:44] not do anymore i said i like them a lot i think that uh there are no limits we have the most powerful [11:52] military in the world by far who else could have done a blockade like that i did a naval blockade [11:58] where not one ship was able to get through some tried they didn't you know it didn't last very long [12:04] and it certainly brought iran to the table more than before however beginning a conflict you had [12:11] talked about you only wanted unconditional surrender and well the mou doesn't look like unconditional [12:17] surrender well it really probably is unconditional surrender yes i think so look they have no military [12:24] they're all at the bottom of the sea 159 ships that's what they had sure but they could still [12:29] menace they only had these small one gosh deep well look you call it what you want you know i hear the [12:36] the uh jcpoa the the obama nuclear catastrophe which was so bad when obama left he didn't hit their [12:45] military sure he didn't damage their navy or destroy their air force i destroy the air force [12:52] i destroyed their anti-aircraft weapons that's why we were flying over there totally unimpeded we turned [12:58] off all the stealth they couldn't do a damn thing he didn't do any of that stuff he didn't kill their [13:03] leadership i did twice two and a half times to be exact he didn't do anything to salameni i killed [13:11] salameni and you killed the ayatollah and i killed the ayatollah number of irgc officials and i sadly hurt the [13:18] other ayatollah who's who i will tell you i did not meet him i did not speak to him but people were [13:24] speaking of but he's got a certain braveness because he was he was badly he's badly injured [13:31] the second yes the son the john jr nevertheless all of those things being true that the well you can't [13:39] just say oh forget about no excuse me i wiped out their military i don't dispute that for those people [13:44] that say oh maybe i wasn't tough enough i've wiped out i took out their biggest bridge because they [13:51] showed up later the meeting they said that wasn't very nice you know that bridge i said george [13:56] washington bridge i wiped it out in three minutes i took out karg island everything except one thing [14:03] and i said leave the pipes alone because you know i'm not looking to damage the world economy [14:07] so i think we were very tough uh the people listen the people that say oh he could have been tougher [14:16] the entire military is gone ready air force is gone do you agree it's gone wiped out there's no [14:24] airplane yes there's no airplanes they had a lot of them there 200 of them they're all gone navy 159 [14:31] ships right all at the bottom of the sea leadership their first stringers all gone including khomeini [14:39] the first one they then put a new group in there very good but very nasty i dealt with them [14:46] they're gone they're all gone and we're dealing with the third group who i actually think is the [14:50] smartest group and i actually think it's regime change if you want to know the truth and these [14:54] are different how is the regime change because they're different people but you have khamenei jr [14:58] you still have a lot of irgc officials there uh they're different people all right khamenei jr [15:03] is different from the father you have a number and we have people that are much less radicalized [15:09] than the previous two groups of which i knew them both but think of it oh why aren't you tougher let [15:17] me the only way i can get tougher is if i go in there for another two or three weeks and continue [15:22] to bomb the hell out of them right but what does that get us the straight of our moves will not be [15:29] open let's say i did that let's say i decided to do that i was a decision enemy so right now our stock [15:36] market is through the roof the oil prices are tumbling the oil prices are practically the same [15:42] as they were before i saw that the big difference is that iran will never have a nuclear weapon they're [15:47] never gonna have a nuclear weapon okay it's very clear and very simple but if i were hitting them [15:52] right now when you stopped it's if we're not going to put boots on the ground okay i mean you don't want [15:59] boots on the ground right if we're not going to put boots on the ground probably the same people you [16:04] know they go deep into the caves they're called granite caves they're very powerful they go deep [16:08] in and then when we stop they'll come up and they'll probably be the same leader so nothing [16:13] okay ready uh when i knocked them out we knocked them out so powerfully we would right now have the [16:20] harmus strait would be totally closed you would have mines all over it and it would have missiles [16:25] flying over a billion dollar ships and those ships will never sail we wouldn't have oil for months [16:33] as long as you're dropping bombs that thing is automatically close because those ships cost [16:38] five hundred to a billion dollars a piece they're not going to be sailing with rockets so just to [16:43] finish i just looked oil is tumbling the ships are roaring out of there they want to go home they [16:51] want to drop they're all full with oil this is a gusher i mean this we have seven or eight hundred [16:58] ships are leaving but if i attack them none of those ships are leaving the stock market is way [17:05] up way way up you know the stock market is up over the last four or five days when it looks like [17:12] we're going to make a deal stock market's up thousands of points everybody's richer now would [17:19] you rather have that or be like some stupid people i i'd be honest with you i lost respect for [17:25] some people because who'd you lose respect i don't i don't want to mention the name oh you can't [17:29] but but you know hardliners oh you got to take them out yet let me tell you and plus i'm not looking [17:35] to kill people i have one primary wish as president in terms of people i never want to be the late [17:45] great herbert hoover so this is the kind of thing that could cause a world wide depression do you [17:54] know that for the last two months i've been taking many ships out there and nobody knew it you know [17:59] why they didn't know it because we knocked out their radar we knocked out all of their defensive [18:05] stuff and they were unable to see uh last week we had one night 25 ships one night 22 one night 19 one [18:13] night 21 so every night for all these ships out oh we should that's how the people were saying where is [18:21] this oil coming from nobody knew we'd leave at one o'clock in the morning all lights off and would [18:29] have our navy destroyers going alongside and they had no equipment because we destroyed all of the [18:37] equipment that would normally be you know used to detect this and i went for a month and a half taking [18:43] many ships out there every night at one o'clock in the morning and we would never detect it until about [18:49] a week ago and then i announced that we're doing it well i think the new york times had reported that [18:54] you guys were engaged in that operation of 20 ships or whatever i wanted to shift they shouldn't have [18:59] if they did they should well they they had good sources i mean they you know that's very not very [19:03] patriotic if they did well i did want to talk about cuban ai we'll do it and we have to do it fast [19:08] because they're waiting for me at a very important so you'd said if cuba is or better said if iran is [19:14] finished uh then it's time for cuba right is there a clock a shot a countdown clock on cuba it's a [19:21] flexible line but i you know marco is involved very much marco's doing a great job by the way [19:26] all my people are doing a very good job but marco's parents it's such a great story his parents were [19:31] from cuba so you do agree i defeated venezuela incredible hundred percent how do you make the [19:39] operation in cuba look more like the venezuela operation well the difference is venezuela has oil [19:43] cuba doesn't cuba has a nice property and a nice shoreline right how do you make it look more [19:49] like the venezuela operation than the iran operation ron operation took longer but no i [19:53] think the iran operation in a certain way it's much bigger much more powerful from the standpoint [20:00] of weaponry than venezuela but venezuela is a very military state you know they have a lot of [20:06] soldiers you know we went into that fort and they had thousands of soldiers in and we went in with [20:11] 201 people and that was a part of the pilot was very brave he had his leg shot from underneath with [20:17] the machine gunner who who got a you know escaped a bad a bad life a bad debt so no i think that [20:25] venezuela here's the thing in venezuela it was so incredible right yeah and we waited and waited and [20:35] at the right time i said let's go do it now we waited for the weather we had to wait six days we had some [20:40] really bad weather you know the pilot said sir we want to do it we went in and less than ideal they [20:45] didn't care and it actually lasted 48 minutes and this is an arm you know they have a lot of soldiers [20:52] they're a lot of good soldiers uh with uh if you look at iran they've been doing this stuff for 47 [21:00] years they've been taunting you and everybody else all of the media every there they're very good with [21:05] the press they have a great fake media and i put out a truth a little while ago i said if i had the [21:13] white flag of surrender raised and if they said praise be to allah trump is the greatest president [21:20] we hereby surrender the new york times would write that they won the war they've lost so much [21:26] credibility so it's a very different kind of a place than venezuela but venezuela you know we're [21:32] running venezuela with the people that we do see the cuba operation running similarly to the way [21:38] possibly it's possible uh the uh well there's another thing these places are close by whereas [21:46] if you look at iran that's a very long trip you know i flew to that area a few times and unrelated to [21:55] this but you're flying for 18 hours you know you're flying for a long time venezuela is relatively close [22:01] in cuba's uh hopscotch well i wanted to talk about we're going to have marco get involved with cuba [22:08] cuba wants to talk very badly we have a lot of people that voted for me like 95 percent and we're [22:14] gonna some of your strongest support is in the cuban-american that's right you know i love them [22:18] so i wanted to present this to you just the map of the western hemisphere when you look at i mean not [22:25] as a gift right um but when you look at this do you see this as a fundamentally american hemisphere [22:32] is this fundamentally more and more so yeah more and more so we're much more respected so we had a [22:38] man that couldn't walk up a flight of stairs and i don't want to talk because if i ever trip a little [22:42] bit they'll say oh this is terrible okay can happen but you can't trip every time you go on a stage [22:48] we had a man that wasn't respected he wasn't smart 40 years ago he was the worst thing that ever [22:55] happened to old people because i have old people friends of mine that are 93 95 years old they're [23:00] 100 gary player great golfer i play golf he shot 71 he's 90 years old and he's mentally exactly the [23:08] same as he was for the last 30 years there are a lot of people biden was the worst thing that ever [23:14] happened to old people because you guys were not honest with the public the public saw it he was [23:22] a disaster and you know the worst thing he did inflation was really bad but that wasn't the worst [23:27] thing the worst because i inherited all this stuff look at what's happening with prices now they're [23:31] coming down and with the oil they're really coming down i had to make an excursion to stop a very [23:40] volatile group of people that are smart very smart you know the iranians very smart people [23:46] they're sort of primitive genius but they're smart i mean okay i had to stop them because if they had a [23:53] nuclear weapon they would use it and you want to see bedlam let them blow up a couple of cities [23:59] someplace like they would have blown up israel if it weren't for me israel would not exist today [24:07] because i terminated the barack hussein obama deal the jcpoa which was a road to a nuclear weapon they [24:14] would have had it five years ago they would have used it within the first week in my opinion and israel [24:19] would no longer be with us israel would have been gone years ago had i not done that now what surprised [24:25] me most is they waited so long they waited till i came back they didn't do it intentionally they [24:31] didn't think i'd be coming back a lot of people didn't think so because of weaponization they [24:35] weaponized government but i came back with a roar but better than before i think better than before [24:43] and think of it israel would have been gone if we didn't hit them with the b2 bombers they were [24:50] all that enriched material they were one month away it was right there they could have walked [24:55] down they can't do that anyway you know the b2 bombers did their job with those great pilots they [25:01] that's sitting the the mountain collapsed on top of it it collapsed on top of it had we not hit them [25:09] they would have had a nuclear weapon they would have used it on israel they would have used it also [25:12] in saudi arabia and you saw that on qatar on uae on kuwait bahrain because when that war started i guess [25:20] my biggest surprise almost immediately missiles were flying at these five other countries [25:26] i said why is he doing it and you know what that did that brought those five countries [25:31] right into my lap they were great and last one artificial intelligence just excuse me just [25:39] a second if it weren't for donald trump and bb netanyahu worked well with me but he will tell you [25:46] we're the ones with the guns we're the ones with the whole deal we're the ones with the b2 bombers etc [25:52] if it weren't for donald trump israel would have been eviscerated relationship with netanyahu's it's [26:01] good but we have to keep them a little bit uh sane are you going to be able to control israel from [26:09] attacking lebanon yeah i will be i mean i wonder uh they have a lot of respect for me and they do as i [26:18] say remember this if i don't terminate the jcpoa road to remember that was a road to a nuclear weapon [26:31] legally it says right there and obama thought he could pay them off he gave them billions and [26:36] billions of dollars 1.7 billion in cash you know it was a well-known story but it didn't work you [26:42] can't bribe your way out of it you can't pay off your way but if i didn't do that and if i didn't [26:47] attack their nuclear supply 10 months ago with the b2 bombers uh israel would not exist today [26:59] so artificial intelligence yeah did not a very artful transition by me do you see artificial [27:05] intelligence as a weapon well improperly used it could be uh if properly used i will tell you one [27:12] thing it's so big yeah it is big like nobody's i mean bigger than the internet it's bigger than any [27:20] i've seen the different things come along it's an age where people like you if we're [27:26] nice smart people like we are we watch and we see what's happening this ai is incredible now it's [27:35] unbelievable for good you're gonna have medical cures coming up 25 years early because of it you're [27:41] gonna have other things happening but you have to watch you know we have a situation with anthropic [27:48] and we didn't like what they were doing and so far i think they behaved very responsibly to our [27:55] request do you view anthropic and to a degree at ceo dario amade as a threat to national security well [28:06] not now but a week ago maybe i was with him yesterday he made a speech i made a little speech [28:13] we're in the room on the g7 and seems like a nice guy smart guy but he responded to us very quickly [28:25] because you know it's tremendous liability people get put in prison immediately for that you know [28:30] you can't play games with that and he responded very responsibly i thought so far i think he will [28:36] do you have the power and the inclination to shut them down or possibly take them well i don't want [28:42] to do that because i'm somebody that you know we're beating china by a lot on ai i was with [28:47] president xi we talked about it we're beating china by a lot everyone thought that we didn't have the [28:54] electricity i came up with an idea i thought of it myself i let them build their own electric plants [28:59] when they're building their factories that way we don't they don't have to use an old grid and they [29:04] actually sell back into the grid at a cheap price excess electricity they need massive amounts [29:10] it's amazing mark they need double the amount of electricity that this country produces for [29:17] everything to run it so i had the idea i said i'm going to let them i mean we don't have that kind [29:22] of electricity really nobody does and they're building their plants and they're building the [29:27] most incredible electric producing factories you've ever seen so we're leading china by a lot [29:34] it's going to be for the good and we're watching for the bed is there i think the good let me put it [29:39] a different way the good far outweighs the bed we are going to find the bed and we're going to stop [29:45] it you have the power to use the defense production i have no power use a lot of things yeah uh would [29:50] would you consider using the defense production act to possibly regulate the control ai or i would but [29:56] i'm not sure i have to do that i think so far it's been very responsible actually it was a competitor [30:02] and a part owner that turned anthropic in they didn't like that what they were doing they were very [30:09] concerned i think of it it's a part owner and uh i think it worked out very well i think and france [30:17] at the g7 had talked about having an international group comes together they want the united states [30:23] to share more on ai is since well the problem we have is that we are leading everybody by a lot [30:35] where are you in as you wind down your presidency you've got two more years [30:40] there the i don't call it a wind down i think we got a lot of time we have well every two and a [30:46] half plus years every presidency has a life cycle yeah and as a president comes to his in a second [30:53] term to his last midterm his party usually loses control of the house his poll numbers usually start [30:59] to decline and he starts to weaken and that's happening to you no it's not uh fake polls i have great [31:08] poll numbers how do you maintain i would beat any candidate they have by 25 points well how do you [31:15] maintain i have great poll numbers how do you maintain your power going forward you have the [31:19] senate i don't think about it no i don't think about all i do is do my job you know i have more than [31:25] two and a half years i have a lot of time but all i do is think about doing my job and we have other [31:32] things very big things that i want to do in the next two and a half years some very impactful things [31:38] things are happening that aren't good and i'm going to straighten them out and some things are [31:42] happening that should be better and i'm going to make them better uh this is a great presidency [31:50] are you going to miss being in this white house well it's so early i don't like to talk about it [31:55] because you know two and a half years pretty long time in all fairness i love the building i'm fixing [31:59] the building you know i do that my little side hobby i've you see the granite which was they had [32:04] stones it's broken the marble's broken the the tile they have is garbage from a low-class place [32:11] that sells garbage this is the white house you saw the white floor i assume you saw the beautiful granite [32:18] i fix it i pay for it myself i don't want money and the white houses will soon be in better shape than [32:25] it was and most importantly when it was bill most importantly i'm building what will be one of the [32:31] greatest ballrooms and safety nets anywhere in the world it's all bulletproof glass it's all drone [32:39] proof roofs uh it's actually a drone port on the top of the roof with views of everything's very high up [32:46] um and you're gonna be able to get there through the senate i know the senate i don't need it through [32:50] this i'm paying for myself i don't know what they're talking about giving a billion i don't need money from [32:55] the senate i'm i'm putting up my own money and the money of very great patriots apple microsoft you know [33:03] all we don't need money we have a judge that said he'd rather have it be put up by the government why [33:11] we're we're giving a gift of a tremendous military and also a very important ballroom for safety you see [33:20] how many with all the whack jobs all these crazy people the bulletproof glass is just thick nothing [33:27] gets through it the drones won't hit it they'll bounce off the roof uh we're actually putting a [33:33] drone port up that's very important but we have a judge that probably doesn't like donald trump [33:38] fortunately we have appellate judges that you know have done okay with the appellate judges but [33:43] i have not done so well with some of these judges that probably have trump derangement syndrome but [33:49] i will say just in finishing uh we've taken washington dc from a death trap to one of the [33:57] safest cities in america mr president i appreciate your time i know you've been rushed today i don't [34:01] think you had any sleep did you did you not much so you you flew across i had two hours for you [34:07] two hours well you need more than two hours for him right anyway well i appreciate your time thank you [34:13] very much i appreciate it thank you very much [34:23] you
