President Trump on Iran: We're in negotiations right now

[0:00] The President Trump is speaking at the Oval Office in Washington, D.C. [0:03] Let's go to the President right now. [0:06] Ideally, you want to end mail-in ballots because there's tremendous corruption. [0:12] Then we added a couple of things, Mark Wayne, like I don't think being a great athlete and having a family of great athletes, [0:19] they have produced great athletes in this family, all-American wrestlers. [0:24] They especially like wrestling, by the way. [0:25] What about baseball? Do you play baseball? [0:27] They like wrestling, but I don't think that you would say that his family, and I don't know this for a fact, [0:36] and I shouldn't say it because I could get myself, does anybody in your family want men to play in women's sports? [0:42] I don't think so, Jim, right? I don't think so. [0:46] I don't think. How would they do? Would they do good wrestling you? They would be in trouble? [0:51] He said, yes, they'd be in big trouble. [0:53] It's so crazy. So that would be one. [0:55] And then we have a few others that we call them the best. [0:58] Best of best of Trump. But if you look at transgender utilization of children, we don't want that. [1:05] It's the utilization of children. We don't want that. [1:08] So generally speaking, I think I can answer that Mark Wayne would be very much in favor of what I'm in favor of. [1:14] Would you say that's right, Mark? I can't think of too many things. [1:17] He might be worse. He might be worse than me. [1:20] That's my look at his wife and say, that's right. [1:22] But so, yeah, he's going to be great. Yeah. [1:26] Do you believe the secretary will run DHS? [1:29] Certainly. I think Kristi Noem did. [1:31] What do you hope to see as his priorities? [1:33] Well, we had a good run. [1:35] We created the strongest border with the help of that man right there. [1:39] Tom is so incredible. [1:41] He's going to be a big influence here, too. [1:43] There's nobody more professional, nobody better. [1:45] There's nobody better as a human being. [1:47] You know, he looks tough, but he's got a good heart, but not too good. [1:50] Don't make it too good. [1:52] But, you know, we had Tom. [1:55] We have the safest border we've ever had. [1:57] We have a lot of assets. [1:58] But a lot of things. [1:59] We have a lot of things we can we can do and we're going to do we have to get the criminals out of our country that were allowed in by Biden. [2:09] Yeah, please. [2:11] Do you support the what appears to be emerging agreement coming out of the Senate to reopen? [2:16] Well, I'm going to look at it and we're going to take a good hard look at it. [2:19] I want to support Republicans. [2:21] And, you know, sometimes it's awfully hard to get votes when you have Democrats that don't want to have voter I.D. [2:27] They don't want to have proof of citizenship. [2:29] They don't want to do anything. [2:30] And I think that's part of the reason why I voted for Biden. [2:33] And I think that's part of the reason why I voted for Biden. [2:36] I don't think that's just because I don't believe in playing in women's sports. [2:39] That's one of the items we put on. [2:40] And I did that just because it's so popular. [2:43] You know, they say that's at least an 80 20 year. [2:45] No, it's about a ninety nine one. [2:46] I don't think it's what do you think? [2:48] But you think it's 80 20. [2:50] Who's closer 80 20 or ninety nine one. [2:53] Almost a hundred. [2:53] Yeah, I think a hundred. [2:55] So, you know, so so I support that. [2:58] And I support comments. [2:59] Actually. [3:01] to reopen. [3:02] THE PRESIDENT. [3:03] Well, they're working on all of that. [3:04] You know, that's a detail that they'll explain later. [3:05] Please. [3:06] The Press. [3:07] On land integrity and DHS measures, Mr. President, since CISA falls under DHS, and given that [3:11] many credible voices have raised concerns over its premature and possibly faulty — likely [3:16] faulty 2020 election assessment, will you and Secretary Mullen implement reforms at [3:20] CISA and at DHS to ensure full confidence in future elections, like in the upcoming [3:25] — [3:26] THE PRESIDENT. [3:27] We'll talk about it. [3:28] We'll talk about it. [3:29] You know, pros and cons. [3:30] They put me in prison, right? [3:31] So I can't be thrilled with it. [3:34] They use that very strongly, very illegally. [3:36] The Democrats are thugs, and I don't want to say that. [3:39] It would be nice to everyone get along. [3:41] But it's a different country than it was years ago. [3:45] It was very dangerous, the way they used it. [3:48] And they weaponized government. [3:50] They used that to weaponize government. [3:52] So I'm not thrilled. [3:53] But I'll also go along with two groups of people — the military, and I think the military [3:58] likes it, right? [4:00] And I'll go along with the senators. [4:02] I'm fine. [4:03] But I was a big victim of it. [4:04] Yeah, please. [4:05] Are you going to send Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff to do direct negotiations with the [4:09] Iranians? [4:10] Yeah, well, we're in negotiations, as it turned out. [4:13] And now you've seen what I said yesterday was exactly correct. [4:16] We're in negotiations right now. [4:19] They're doing it along with Marco, J.D. [4:21] We have a number of people doing it. [4:24] And the other side, I can tell you, they'd like to make a deal. [4:27] And who wouldn't if you were there? [4:28] Look. [4:30] Their Navy's gone. [4:31] Their Air Force is gone. [4:33] Their communications are gone. [4:34] That's the biggest problem. [4:35] It's very hard to communicate them between themselves. [4:40] All of the anti-aircraft is gone. [4:42] Most of their missiles are gone. [4:44] We shot — either shot them or they shot them and don't have them anymore. [4:48] They're down to a trickle. [4:50] They're — pretty much everything they have is gone. [4:53] I don't know. [4:54] Can you name one thing that's not gone? [4:56] Or can you name one thing that's doing well? [4:58] You know, if you read the papers, you think we're tied. [5:01] You think we're in a tough battle. [5:02] You think we're in a tough battle. [5:03] We are roaming free over Tehran, the city, Tehran, as opposed to Iran. [5:10] We're roaming free. [5:11] We can do whatever we want. [5:14] And as you know, today, we were going to have the privilege of shooting down a very big [5:19] electric generation plant, one of the biggest in the world. [5:23] And one shot to the right location ends the plant, it collapses. [5:28] And we held off based on the fact that we're negotiating. [5:30] Yeah. [5:32] Yeah. [5:33] Yeah. [5:34] And I — I just want to ask you a question about your point to make you want to pursue [5:35] a ceasefire. [5:36] A few days ago, you know, you said you wanted to continue bombing Iran. [5:39] Now you want to pursue peace talks. [5:41] Was there something that happened? [5:42] The fact that they're talking to us and they're talking sense. [5:45] And remember, it all starts with they cannot have a nuclear weapon. [5:49] Just — you know, I said yesterday, what are — they said, what are the top 10? [5:52] I said, well, number one, two and three is they can't have a nuclear weapon. [5:57] And they're not going to have a nuclear weapon. [6:00] And we're talking about that and — [6:01] So you think maybe — [6:02] I don't want to say in advance, but — [6:03] But they've agreed they will never have a nuclear weapon. [6:06] They've agreed to that.
