make moves sometimes sometimes in life you have to make work [5:40] the economy is incredible other than we lost about three trillion dollars when they found out that [5:46] the democrats did well in the election rather surprisingly but that's the way life goes [5:51] it had to do it had to do with the fact that we won't let iran have a nuclear weapon so you always [5:59] have to go with that first but uh we just had a very good meeting and we have a lot of good calls [6:06] made and we're doing very well so we're working well with russia ukraine we're making a lot of [6:11] progress we've made a lot of progress with iran we've taken out more oil now than we were before [6:17] the war it's not a war it can't be a war when for five months nobody is hurt killed or anything else [6:25] it's not a war you know in russia ukraine they lose 25 000 people a month we haven't lost anybody in [6:31] seven months so i don't think that's a war total control but we're dealing with the iranians we'll [6:38] see how that all works out uh do you have any questions you're going to be working with democrats [6:43] a lot over the next two years what is an initiative or effort led by the democrats that you think you [6:48] could get behind i think a lot i mean i said before immigration is one the tax cuts or maybe [6:55] certain things having to do with taxes to make it more convenient and better a lot of economic [7:01] development initiatives we can do i think we could do a lot of things together actually you know a lot [7:07] of them are about common sense also and i think you'll see that you can see already some of the [7:12] people that are elected want to meet and want to discuss things having to do with as an example texas [7:18] south carolina you know etc so i'm very much open to it mr president there's people describing stephen [7:25] miller as your wartime consigliere do you agree with that depict characterization well he's a great [7:31] fighter he's been with me right from the beginning 2015 he's with me from before 2016 2015 and he's very [7:39] loyal smart that's a great job he's been an mvp every year he's been just great so we're very happy with [7:47] president he's gotten great reviews i have to say were you unhappy with your team because of the [7:52] results of the election not because of the election it's just time sometimes you change [7:59] the election wasn't my election i wasn't on the ballot if i was on the ballot you saw the rallies [8:04] they were the biggest most powerful rallies in the history of midterm elections we were every arena was [8:11] full and we had thousands and thousands of people outside that couldn't get in we had to use the big [8:16] televisions jumbotrons they were unbelievable they were unbelievable rallies but i wasn't on the [8:22] ballot i wish i was on the ballot i think you would have had a much different outcome you can expect [8:27] more do you expect more departures in the coming months very little we have a great we have a great [8:32] capital now when you first when you wrote the washington times when you first struck ira [8:39] iran rather um it was very popular with goq voters but then you eventually pulled back [8:45] as far as going into negotiations who persuaded you to do that nobody we hit iran very hard we [8:52] look if we didn't hit iran you wouldn't have israel today israel would be gone would have been wiped [8:57] off the face of the earth and they know it the face of the earth they know that you wouldn't have i [9:03] believe the middle east because if you look iran just with regular missiles started hitting qatar [9:10] saudi arabia uae nobody thought that was going to happen if they had nuclear they would have used [9:15] nuclear they would have obliterated the middle east they would have gone after europe and they would [9:21] have gone after some of our cities because i know them very well i deal with them a lot and i know [9:28] they're crazy so we'll see what happens we're dealing with them now they want to make a deal very [9:33] badly they have 300 inflation their navy's gone their airport everything's gone and they want to make a [9:39] deal so we'll see if they make it do you want to make the deal really soon or are you open to waiting [9:45] well we have nobody getting hurt nobody getting killed you know this is a war that we may have [9:51] been there for seven months but we probably fought for three or four weeks really fought and again [9:57] you look at world war one that's a war world war two that's a war you look at russia ukraine that's [10:02] a war we're not fighting we have we have the greatest blockade in military history nothing comes [10:10] through the hormon strait without our approval nothing is going to iran no oil is going to iran [10:17] mr president you've got a couple months before the new congress takes uh takes their seats what [10:22] are your priorities what would you like to get done what do you think you need to get done before they [10:27] step in the senate has to act the senate is getting nothing passed and it's just killing our country [10:37] that means democrats and republicans they're just not getting anything done so the democrats voted a [10:42] block we could have the best bill in the world for our country they vote in a block and we always have a [10:48] few republicans that obstruct and hopefully john thune can finally get him to act i mean the senate has [10:57] to act the biggest problem we have it's a roadblock it's you send things to the senate when you want it [11:03] to die so they have to get together schumer and john thune or whoever is going to be representing the [11:10] democrats they got to have to get things done the senate the senate is killing our country nothing is [11:20] getting through the senate and you know what our voters saw that and that's one of the problems [11:25] we had in my opinion the biggest the save america act didn't get passed all of these things didn't [11:30] happen and i mean think of it save america it's the simplest thing in the world so the senate has to [11:36] now the democrats voted against it unanimously so they voted against voter id and proof of citizenship [11:44] that's save america and how do you do that you do that because i guess you want to cheat [11:49] but the republicans should have passed it so with john thune who's a good man but it's got to get [11:56] things done do you still think he's the appropriate leader for republicans in the senate it's going to [12:01] be up to the republicans they choose i don't choose get involved if they they choose it's a very strong [12:09] custom and it's going to be happening i guess next week they got to put john or whoever it is [12:15] they've got to get things done we have many judges and many other people waiting for approval they [12:21] can't get anything done in the senate there were reports of strikes near iran today in kesham island [12:27] did the u.s do those about what strikes near kesham island in iran with the u.s i don't want to talk [12:32] about it we do minor strikes but they knock out they built a little bit of an anti-aircraft [12:38] device and we knocked it out in about 15 minutes maybe five because how does the republican party [12:45] now he builds after such devastating great party we had a bad election because of a few things one [12:52] thing was not getting things approved in the senate one thing was we had a higher oil press than we had [12:59] before still lower than biden and still lower than obama and what we did is something very [13:06] significant we ended iran having a nuclear weapon they did nothing and yet all right now the oil is [13:12] coming down very rapidly unfortunately when it was learned that the democrats won that particular [13:20] interim and and this is the midterm election and having to do with other things the economy is [13:50] incredible other than we lost about three trillion dollars when they found out that the democrats did [13:56] well in the election rather surprisingly but that's the way life goes had to do it had to do with [14:04] the fact that we won't let iran have a nuclear weapon so you always have to go with that first [14:10] but uh we just had a very good meeting and we have a lot of good calls made and we're doing very well so [14:17] we're working well with russia ukraine we're making a lot of progress we've made a lot of progress with [14:22] iran we've taken out more oil now than we were before the war if you could it's not a war it can't be a war [14:29] when for five months nobody was hurt killed or anything else it's not a war you know in russia [14:36] ukraine they lose 25 000 people a month we haven't lost anybody in seven months so i don't think that's [14:42] a war total control but we're dealing with the iranians we'll see how that all works out uh do you [14:49] have any questions mr president you're going to be working with democrats a lot over the next two years [14:54] what is an initiative or effort led by the democrats that you think you could get behind [14:58] i think a lot i mean i said before immigration is one the tax cuts or maybe certain things having [15:05] to do with taxes to make it more convenient and better a lot of economic development initiatives [15:11] we can do i think we could do a lot of things together actually you know a lot of them are [15:17] about common sense also and i think you'll see that you can see already some of the people that [15:22] are elected want to meet and want to discuss things having to do with as an example texas south [15:28] carolina you know etc so i'm very much open to it mr president there's people describing stephen [15:34] miller as your wartime consigliere other things the economy is incredible other than we lost about [15:42] three trillion dollars when they found out that the democrats did well in the election rather [15:48] surprisingly but that's the way life goes it had to do with the fact that we won't let iran have a [15:56] nuclear weapons you always have to go with that first but uh we just

after such devastating losses we have a great party we had a bad election because of [22:50] a few things one thing was not getting things approved in the senate one thing was we had a [22:55] higher oil press that we had before still lower than biden and still lower than obama and what we [23:03] did is something very significant we ended iran having a nuclear weapon they did nothing and yet [23:09] are right now the oil is coming down very rapidly unfortunately when it was learned that the democrats [23:15] won that particular interim and and it just said the interim election uh just so you understand [23:24] the presidents always lose them i don't know why they lose them all the time there were a lot bigger [23:28] losses than this but when they learned about the midterms the soccer stock market lost three [23:36] trillion dollars that's the most in history so in other words the markets all over the world when [23:42] they heard that the democrats won that election the market dropped three trillion dollars the highest [23:49] amount in history but it'll level off and we'll do great mr president uh wall street journal reported [23:56] that the white house sent a letter to a lot of conservative groups warning them that the white [24:01] house is monitoring their statements their press statements tv appearances why is it important for [24:06] the white house to make that warning i've never heard that i mean i'd like to see it i haven't heard that [24:10] i don't know i mean maybe somebody said something but i know nothing about should should the white [24:14] house be monitoring who are you i'm frank we're down here with ncr [24:20] they had later conversations you're having with russia does anything feel different this time is there [24:25] anything you're doing russia and ukraine for the first time i think want to settle we have meetings [24:32] i've had phone calls today i'm having some tomorrow they're having a meeting on monday and tuesday as you [24:37] know but they i think they want to settle is this the call do you have a i think it's going to be a very [24:43] big settlement i think it's going to involve all of europe it's going to be a very big [24:47] summit is there anything you're going to try to encourage them to come to the table that you [24:50] haven't done well i do all the time i'm friends with everybody and i do all the time i'd like [24:54] to see the killing stop and you know they lost 25 000 mostly soldiers last month between the two [25:02] of them between russia and ukraine and it shouldn't happen it's very sad 25 000 souls [25:09] they're very sad you have a meeting coming up with jeezing pink that's that's called a war [25:15] not a world where you go six months and no nobody's even wounded what we are is uh maybe an occupier [25:23] could be an occupier because you know we do we control the harmless we're taking out more oil now [25:30] than we have at any time in the history of the harmless other things the economy is incredible other than [25:40] we lost about three trillion dollars when they found out that the democrats did well in the election [25:46] rather surprisingly but that's the way life goes it had to do with the fact that we won't let [25:54] iran have a nuclear weapon so you always have to go with that first but uh we just had a very good [26:02] meeting and we have a lot of good calls made and we're doing very well so we're working well with [26:06] russia ukraine we're making a lot of progress we've made a lot of progress with iran [26:11] we're taking out more oil now than we were before the war it's not a war it can't be a war when for [26:17] five months nobody is hurt killed or anything else it's not a war you know in russia ukraine they lose [26:25] 25 000 people a month we haven't lost anybody in seven months so i don't think that's a war [26:31] total control but we're dealing with the iranians we'll see how that all works out [26:37] you have any questions you're going to be working with democrats a lot over the next [26:41] two years what is an initiative or effort led by the democrats that you think you could get behind [26:47] i think a lot i mean i said before immigration is one tax cuts or maybe certain things having to do [26:54] with taxes to make it more convenient and better a lot of economic development initiatives we can do [27:01] i think we could do a lot of things together actually you know a lot of them are about common [27:05] sense also and i think you'll see that you can see already some of the people that are elected want to [27:11] meet and want to discuss things having to do with as an example texas south carolina you know etc so [27:18] i'm very much open to it mr president there's people describing stephen miller as your wartime [27:23] consigliere do you agree with that depict characterization well he's a great fighter [27:29] he's been with me right from the beginning 2015 he was with me from before 2016 2015 and he's very loyal [27:37] smart does a great job he's been an mvp every year he's been just great so we're very happy with [27:44] him he's gotten great reviews i have to say were you unhappy

think you would have had a much different outcome do you expect more departures in the coming [28:27] months very little we have a great we have a great captain now when you first the washington times [28:35] when you first struck iran iran rather um it was very popular with goq voters but then you eventually [28:41] pulled back as far as going into negotiations who persuaded you to do that nobody we hit iran very [28:49] hard we look if we didn't hit iran you wouldn't have israel today israel would be gone it would have [28:54] been wiped off the face of the earth and they know it the face of

soon or are you open to waiting well we have nobody getting hurt nobody getting killed you know [29:47] this is a war that we may have been there for seven months but we probably fought for three or four [29:52] weeks really fought and again you look at world war one that's a war world war ii that's a war you [29:58] look at russia ukraine that's a war we're not fighting we have we have the greatest blockade in military [30:05] history nothing comes through the homo strait without our approval nothing is going to iran no oil is going [30:13] to iran mr president you got a couple months before the new congress takes uh takes their seats what are [30:19] your priorities what would you like to get done what do you think you need to get done before they [30:24] step in the senate has to act the senate is getting nothing passed and it's just killing our country [30:34] that means democrats and republicans they're just not getting anything done so the democrats voted [30:39] a block we

is going to be representing [31:07] the democrats they got to have to get things done the senate the senate is killing our country [31:16] nothing is getting through the senate and you know what our voters saw that and that's one of the [31:21] problems we had in my opinion the biggest the save america act didn't get passed all of these things [31:27] didn't happen and i mean think of it save america it's the simplest thing in the world so the senate has [31:33] to now the democrats voted against it unanimously so they voted against voter id and proof of citizenship [31:41] that's save america and how do you do that you do that because i guess you want to cheat [31:46] but the republicans should have passed it so with john thune who's a good man but he's got to get [31:54] things done do you still think he's the appropriate leader for republicans in the senate it's going to [31:58] be up to the republicans they choose i don't choose they get involved if they they choose it's a very [32:06] strong customer and it's going to be happening i guess next week they got to put john or whoever it is [32:12] they've got to get things done we have many judges and many other people waiting for approval they [32:18] can't get anything done in the senate there were reports of strikes near iran today in kesham island [32:24] did the u.s do those the what strikes near kesham island in iran was the u.s i don't want to talk [32:29] about it we do minor strikes but they knock out they built a little bit of an anti-aircraft [32:35] device and we knocked it out in about 15 minutes maybe five because how does the republican party [32:42] now we build after such devastating the great party we had a bad election because of a few things one [32:49] thing was not getting things approved in the senate one thing was we had a higher oil price than we had [32:56] before still lower than biden and still lower than obama and what we did is something very [33:03] significant we ended iran having a nuclear weapon they did nothing and yet all right now the oil is [33:09] coming down very rapidly unfortunately when it was learned that the democrats won that particular [33:17] interim and and just said the midterm election uh just so you understand presidents always lose them [33:24] i don't know why they lose them all the time there were a lot bigger losses than this but when they [33:29] learned about the midterms the stock stock stock market lost three trillion dollars that's the most [33:37] in history so in other words the markets all over the world when they heard that the democrats [33:43] won that election the market dropped three trillion dollars the highest amount in history but it'll [33:50] level off and we'll do great the white house sent a letter to a lot of conservative groups warning them [33:59] that the white house is monitoring their statements the press statements tv appearances why is it [34:04] important for the white house to make that warning i've never heard that i mean i'd like to see it i [34:08] haven't heard that i don't know i mean maybe somebody said something but i know nothing about [34:12] should should the white house be monitoring who are you i'm frank we're down here with npr [34:19] we've had later conversations you're having with russia does anything feel different this time is there [34:23] anything you're doing russia and ukraine for the first time i think want to settle we have meetings [34:31] i've had phone calls today i'm having some tomorrow they're having a meeting on monday and tuesdays you [34:36] know but they i think they want to settle is this the call do you have a big it's going to be a very [34:42] big settlement is there anything i think it's going to involve all of europe it's going to be a very big [34:46] so i think it's going to be a big deal i do all the time i'm friends with everybody and i do all the [34:52] time i'd like to see the killing stop and you know they lost 25 000 mostly soldiers last month between [35:00] the two of them between russia and ukraine and it shouldn't happen it's very sad 25 000 souls [35:08] they're very sad that's called a war not a world where you go six months and no nobody's even wounded [35:18] what we are is uh maybe an occupier could be an occupier because you know we do we control the [35:25] harmless we're taking out more oil now than we have at any time in the history of the harmless [35:32] country other things the economy is incredible other than we lost about three trillion dollars [35:40] when they found out that the democrats did well in the election rather surprisingly but that's the way [35:47] life goes it had to do it had to do with the fact that we won't let iran have a nuclear weapon so you [35:55] always have to go with that first but uh we just had a very good meeting and we have a lot of good [36:02] calls made and we're doing very well so we're working well with russia ukraine [36:06] we're making a lot of progress we've made a lot of progress with iran we've taken out more oil now [36:12] than we were before the war it's not a war it can't be a war when for five months nobody [36:19] hurt killed or anything else it's not a war you know in russia ukraine they lose 25 000 people a month [36:26] we haven't lost anybody in seven months so i don't think that's a war [36:30] total control but we're dealing with the iranians we'll see how that all works out [36:35] uh you have any questions you're going to be working with democrats a lot over the next [36:40] two years what is an initiative or effort led by the democrats that you think you could get behind [36:46] i think a lot i mean i said before immigration is one the tax cuts or maybe certain things having to [36:52] do with taxes to make it more convenient and better a lot of economic development initiatives we can do [36:59] i think we could do a lot of things together actually you know a lot of them are about common [37:04] sense also and i think you'll see that you can see already some of the people that are elected [37:09] want to meet and want to discuss things having to do with as an example texas south carolina you [37:15] know etc so i'm very much open to it mr president there's people describing stephen miller as your [37:22] wartime consigliere do you agree with that to pick characterization well he's a great fighter [37:28] he's been with me right from the beginning 2015 he's with me from before 2016 2015 and he's very [37:35] loyal smart does a great job he's been an mvp every year he's been just great so we're very happy with [37:43] him he's gotten great reviews i have this way were you unhappy with your team because of the results of [37:49] the election not because of the election it's just time sometimes you change uh the election wasn't my [37:56] election i wasn't on the ballot if i was on the ballot you saw the rallies they were the biggest [38:02] most powerful rallies in the history of midterm elections we were every arena was full and we had [38:08] thousands and thousands of people outside that couldn't get in we had to use the big televisions [38:12] jumbotrons they were unbelievable they were unbelievable rallies but i wasn't on the ballot i wish i [38:19] was on the ballot i think you would have had a much different outcome you can expect more [38:23] more do you expect more departures in the coming months very little we have a great we have a [38:28] great capital mr president now when you first when he wrote the washington times when you first struck [38:35] iran rather um it was very popular with goq voters but then you eventually pulled back as far as going [38:42] into negotiations who persuaded you to do that nobody we hit iran very hard we look if we didn't hit [38:49] iran you wouldn't have israel today israel would be gone it would have been wiped off the face of [38:54] the earth and they know it the face of the earth they know that you wouldn't have i believe the middle [39:00] east because if you look iran just with regular missiles started hitting qatar and saudi arabia uae [39:09] nobody thought that was going to happen if they had nuclear they would have used nuclear [39:12] they would have obliterated the middle east they would have gone after europe and they would have [39:17] gone after some of our cities because i know them very well i deal with them a lot and i know [39:24] they're crazy so we'll see what happens we're dealing with them now they want to make a deal very [39:29] badly they have 300 percent inflation their navy's gone their airport everything's gone and they want [39:34] to make a deal so we'll see if they make it do you want to make the deal really soon or are you open [39:39] to waiting well we have nobody getting hurt nobody getting killed you know this is a war that we may have [39:47] been there for seven months but we probably fought for three or four weeks really fought and again you [39:53] look at world war one that's a war world war ii that's a war you look at russia ukraine that's a [39:58] war we're not fighting we have we have the greatest blockade in military history nothing comes through [40:07] the hormon strait without our approval nothing is going to iran no oil is going to iran [40:13] you mr president you got a couple months before the new congress takes uh takes their seats what [40:18] are your priorities what would you like to get done what do you think you need to get done before they [40:23] step in the senate has to act the senate is getting nothing passed and it's just killing our country [40:33] that means democrats and republicans they're just not getting anything done so the democrats voted a block [40:39] we could have the best bill in the world for our country they vote in a block and we always have a few [40:45] republicans that obstruct and hopefully john thune can finally get him to

thune or whoever is going to be representing [41:06] the democrats they got to have to get things done the senate the senate is killing our country [41:12] you still want john free nothing is getting through the senate and you know what our voters saw that [41:19] and that's one of the problems we had in my opinion the biggest the save america act didn't get passed [41:25] all of these things didn't happen and i mean think of it save america it's the simplest thing in the [41:30] world so the senate has to now the democrats voted against it unanimously so they voted against voter id and

involved if they they choose it's [42:04] it's a very strong custom and it's going to be happening i guess next week [42:08] they got to put john or whoever it is they've got to get things done we have many judges and many other [42:15] people waiting for approval they can't get anything done in the senate there were reports of strengths [42:21] near iran today and kesham island did the u.s do

it's going to be a very big [44:44] big [44:44] is there anything you're going to need to encourage them to cover the table like you haven't done [44:48] well i do all the time i'm friends with everybody and i do all the time i'd like to see the killing [44:53] stop and you know they lost 25 000 mostly soldiers last month between the two of them between russia and [45:01] ukraine and it

and he's very [57:33] loyal smart does a great job he's been an mvp every year he's been this great so we're very happy with [57:42] he's gotten great reviews i have to say were you unhappy with your

i think you would have had a much [58:19] different outcome do you expect more do you expect more departures in the coming months very little [58:25] we have a great we have a great captain now when you first when you wrote the washington times when [58:31] you first struck iran rather um it was very popular with gop voters but then you eventually pulled back [58:38] as far as going into negotiations who persuaded you to do that nobody we hit iran very hard we [58:46] look if we didn't hit iran you wouldn't have israel today israel would be gone it would have been wiped [58:51] off the face of the earth and they know it the face of the earth they know that you wouldn't have i [58:57] believe the middle east because if you look iran just with regular missiles started hitting qatar [59:04] saudi arabia uae nobody thought that was going to happen if they had nuclear they would have used [59:09] nuclear they would have obliterated the middle east they would have gone after europe and they [59:14] would have gone after some of our cities because i know them very well i deal with them a lot and [59:20] i know they're crazy so we'll see what happens we're dealing with them now they want to make a [59:26] deal very badly they have 300 percent inflation their navy's gone their airport everything's gone [59:31] and they want to make a deal so we'll see if they make it do you want to make the deal really [59:36] soon are you open to waiting well we have nobody getting hurt nobody getting killed you know this [59:44] is a war that we may have been there for seven months but we probably fought for three or four [59:48] weeks really fought and again you look at world war one that's a war world war two that's a war you [59:54] look at russia ukraine that's a war we're not fighting we have we have the greatest blockade in military [1:00:02] history nothing comes through the hormon straight without our approval nothing is going to iran no [1:00:09] oil is going to iran mr president you got a couple months before the new congress takes uh takes their [1:00:15] seats what are your priorities what would you like to get done what do you think you need to get done [1:00:20] before they step in the senate has to act the senate is getting nothing passed and it's just killing our [1:00:29] country that means democrats and republicans they're just not getting anything done so the democrats vote [1:00:36] in a block we could have the best bill in the world for our country they vote in a block and we always [1:00:41] have a few republicans that obstruct and hopefully john thune can finally get him to act i mean the senate has [1:00:51] to act the biggest problem we have it's a roadblock it's you send things to the senate when you want it [1:00:57] to die so they have to get together schumer and john thune or whoever is going to be representing the [1:01:04] democrats they got to have to get things done the senate the senate is killing our country [1:01:13] nothing is getting through the senate and you know what our voters saw that and that's one of the [1:01:18] problems we had in my opinion the biggest the save america act didn't get passed all of these things [1:01:24] didn't happen and i mean think of it save america it's the simplest thing in the world so the senate [1:01:29] has to now the democrats voted against it unanimously so they voted against voter id and proof of [1:01:36] citizenship that's save america and how do you do that you do that because i guess you want to cheat [1:01:43] but the republicans should have passed it so with john thune who's a good man but he's got to get things [1:01:50] done do you still think he's the appropriate leader for republicans in the senate it's going to be up to the [1:01:55] republicans they choose i don't choose get involved if they they choose it's a very strong custom and [1:02:04] it's going to be happening i guess next week they got to put john or whoever it is they've got to get [1:02:10] things done we have many judges and many other people waiting for approval they can't get anything [1:02:16] done in the senate there were reports of strikes near iran today and kesham island in the u.s do [1:02:21] those you know what strikes near kesham island in iran with the u.s i don't want to talk about it we do [1:02:26] minor strikes but they knock out they built a little bit of an anti-aircraft device and we knocked it out [1:02:35] in about 15 minutes maybe five because how does the republican party now rebuild after such devastating [1:02:41] the great party we had a bad election because of a few things one thing was not getting things [1:02:48] approved in the senate one thing was we had a higher oil press than we had before still lower than biden [1:02:55] and still lower than obama and what we did is something very significant we ended iran having [1:03:02] a nuclear weapon they did nothing and yet all right now the oil is coming down very rapidly [1:03:07] unfortunately unfortunately when it was learned that the democrats won that particular interm and [1:03:14] and just said the midterm election uh just so you understand presidents always lose them i don't know [1:03:21] why they lose them all the time there were a lot bigger losses than this but when they learned about [1:03:26] the midterms the soccer stock market lost three trillion dollars that's the most in history so in [1:03:35] other words the markets all over the world when they heard that the democrats won that election [1:03:41] the market dropped three trillion dollars the highest amount in history but it'll level off and [1:03:48] will do great mr president uh wall street journal reported that the white house sent a letter to a [1:03:53] lot of conservative groups warning them that the white house is monitoring their statements the press [1:03:58] statements tv appearances why is it important for the white house to make that warning i've never heard [1:04:03] heard that i mean i'd like to see it i haven't heard that i don't know i mean maybe somebody said [1:04:07] something but i know nothing about it should should the white house be monitoring [1:04:11] who are you i'm frank we're down here with ncr [1:04:16] you had later conversations you're having with russia does anything feel different this time is there [1:04:20] anything you're doing russia and ukraine for the first time i think want to settle we have meetings [1:04:28] i've had phone calls today i'm having some tomorrow they're having a meeting on monday and tuesdays you know [1:04:33] but they i think they want to settle this is the call i think it's going to be a very big settlement [1:04:39] is there anything i think it's going to involve all of europe it's going to be a very big [1:04:42] big [1:04:42] is there anything you're making for all of europe is going to cover the table that you haven't done [1:04:46] well i do all the time i'm friends with everybody and i do all the time i'd like to see the killing [1:04:51] stop and you know they lost 25 000 mostly soldiers last month between the two of them between russia and [1:04:59] ukraine and ukraine and it shouldn't happen it's a very sad 25 000 souls it's very sad [1:05:09] that's called a war not a world where you go six months and no nobody's even wounded [1:05:14] what we are is uh maybe an occupier could be an occupier because you know we do we control the [1:05:22] harmless trade we're taking out more oil now than we have at any time in the history of the [1:05:28] harmless other things the economy is incredible other than we lost about three trillion dollars [1:05:37] when they found out that the democrats did well in the election rather surprisingly but that's the way [1:05:44] life goes had to do it had to do with the fact that we won't let iran have a nuclear weapon so [1:05:51] you always have to go with that first but uh we just had a very good meeting and we have a lot of good [1:05:58] calls made and we're doing very well so we're working well with russia ukraine we're making a [1:06:03] lot of progress we've made a lot of progress with iran we've taken out more oil now than we were before [1:06:10] the war it's not a war it can't be a war when for five months nobody is hurt killed or anything else [1:06:17] it's not a war you know in russia ukraine they lose 25 000 people a month we haven't lost anybody in seven [1:06:24] months so i don't think that's a war total control but we're dealing with the iranians we'll see how [1:06:30] that all works out uh you have any questions you're going to be working with democrats a lot [1:06:36] over the next two years what is an initiative or effort led by the democrats that you think you [1:06:41] could get behind i think a lot i mean i said before immigration is one the tax cuts or maybe [1:06:48] certain things having to do with taxes to make it more convenient and better a lot of economic [1:06:54] development initiatives we can do i think we could do a lot of things together actually you know [1:06:59] a lot of them are about common sense also and i think you'll see that you can see already some of [1:07:05] the people that are elected want to meet and want to discuss things having to do with as an example [1:07:10] texas south carolina you know etc so i'm very much open to it mr president there's people describing [1:07:17] stephen miller as your wartime consigliere do you agree with that depict characterization he's a great [1:07:23] fighter he's been with me right from the beginning 2015 he's with me from before 2016 2015 and he's very [1:07:32] loyal smart that's a great job he's been an mvp every year he's been just great so we're very happy [1:07:39] with him he's gotten great reviews i have this way were you unhappy with your team because of the [1:07:45] results of the election not because of the election it's just time sometimes you change [1:07:49] uh the election wasn't my election i wasn't on the ballot if i was on the ballot you saw the rallies [1:07:57] they were the biggest most powerful rallies in the history of midterm elections we were every arena [1:08:03] was full we had thousands and thousands of people outside that couldn't get in we had to use the big [1:08:08] televisions jumbotrons they were unbelievable they were unbelievable rallies but i wasn't on the ballot i [1:08:15] wish i was on the ballot i think you would have had a much different outcome you can expect more [1:08:19] more do you expect more departures in the coming months very little we have a great we have a [1:08:25] great captain now when you first when he wrote the washington times when you first struck iran [1:08:32] rather um it was very popular with goq voters but then you eventually pulled back as far as going into [1:08:39] negotiations who persuaded you to do that nobody we hit iran very hard we look if we didn't hit iran [1:08:47] you wouldn't have israel today israel would be gone it would have been wiped off the face of the [1:08:51] earth and they know it the face of the earth they know that you wouldn't have i believe the middle [1:08:56] east because if you look iran just with regular missiles started hitting qatar and saudi arabia uae [1:09:05] nobody thought that was going to happen if they had nuclear they would have used nuclear [1:09:09] they would have obliterated the middle east they would have gone after europe and they would have [1:09:13] gone after some of our cities because i know them very well i deal with them a lot and i know [1:09:20] they're crazy so we'll see what happens we're dealing with them now they want to make a deal [1:09:25] very badly they have 300 inflation their navy's gone their airport everything's gone and they want to [1:09:31] make a deal so we'll see if they make it do you want to make the deal really soon are you open to [1:09:36] waiting well we have nobody getting hurt nobody getting killed you know this is a war that we may have [1:09:44] been there for seven months but we probably fought for three or four weeks really fought [1:09:49] and again you look at world war one that's a war world war two that's a war you look at russia ukraine [1:09:55] that's a war we're not fighting we have we have the greatest blockade in military history nothing comes [1:10:02] through the hormon strait without our approval nothing is going to iran no oil is going to iran [1:10:10] you mr president you've got a couple months before the new congress takes uh takes their seats what [1:10:15] are your priorities what would you like to get done what do you think you need to get done before they [1:10:20] step in the senate has to act the senate is getting

anything done in the senate there [1:22:15] were reports of strikes near iran today in kesham island did the u.s do those you know what strikes [1:22:20] near kesham island in iran with the u.s i don't want to talk about it we do minor strikes but they [1:22:26] knock out they built a little bit of an anti-aircraft device and we knocked it out in about 15 minutes [1:22:33] maybe five because how does the republican party now we build after such devastating [1:22:38] losses well we have a great party we had a bad election because of a few things one thing was [1:22:45] not getting things approved in the senate one thing was we had a higher [1:22:49] oil press that we had before still lower than biden and still lower than obama and what we did is [1:22:57] something very significant we ended iran having a nuclear weapon they did nothing and yet all right [1:23:02] now the oil is coming down very rapidly unfortunately when it was learned that the democrats won that [1:23:10] particular interim and and just said the midterm election uh just so you understand presidents always [1:23:18] lose them i don't know why they lose them all the time there were a lot bigger losses

think it's [1:24:38] going to involve all of europe it's going to be a very big thing is there anything you're going to [1:24:41] provide you can encourage them to cover the table like you haven't done well i do all the time i'm [1:24:45] friends with everybody and i do all the time i'd like to see the killing stop and you know they lost [1:24:51] 25 000 mostly soldiers last month between the two of them between russia and ukraine [1:24:57] it's going to pass right now and it shouldn't happen it's very sad 25 000 souls [1:25:03] it's very sad you have a meeting coming up with gijing pig that's that's called a war not a world [1:25:08] where you go six months and no nobody's even wounded all we are is uh maybe an occupier could be an [1:25:17] occupier because you know we do we control the harmo street we're taking out more oil now than we have [1:25:23] at any time in the history of the harmless other things the economy is incredible other than we [1:25:33] lost about three trillion dollars when they found out that the democrats did well in the election [1:25:39] rather surprisingly but that's the way life goes [1:25:44] it had to do with the fact that we won't let iran have a nuclear weapons you always have to go with [1:25:50] that first but uh we just had a very good meeting and we have a lot of good calls made and we're [1:25:57] doing very well so we're working well with russia ukraine we're making a lot of progress we've made a [1:26:03] lot of progress with iran we've taken out more oil now than we were before the war it's not a war [1:26:09] it can't be a war when for five months nobody is hurt killed or anything else it's not a war you [1:26:16] know in russia ukraine they lose 25 000 people a month we haven't lost anybody in seven months so i don't [1:26:23] think that's a war with total control but we're dealing with the iranians we'll see how that all [1:26:28] works out uh you have any questions you're going to be working with democrats a lot over the next [1:26:34] two years what is an initiative or effort led by the democrats that you think you could get behind [1:26:40] i think a lot i mean i said before immigration is one tax cuts or maybe certain things having to do with [1:26:47] taxes to make it more convenient and better a lot of economic development initiatives we can do [1:26:54] i think we could do a lot of things together actually you know a lot of them are about [1:26:58] common sense also and i think you'll see that you can see already some of the people that are elected [1:27:03] want to meet and want to discuss things having to do with as an example texas south carolina you [1:27:10] know etc so i'm very much open to it mr president there's people describing stephen miller as your wartime [1:27:16] consigliere do you agree with that to pick characterization well he's a great fighter [1:27:22] he's been with me right from the beginning 2015 he was with me from before 2016 2015 and he's very [1:27:30] loyal smart does a great job he's been an mvp every year he's been this great so we're very happy with [1:27:37] him he's gotten great reviews i have to say were you unhappy with your team because of the results [1:27:43] of the election not because of the election it's just time sometimes you change uh the election wasn't [1:27:50] my election i wasn't on the ballot if i was on the ballot you saw the rallies they were the biggest [1:27:56] most powerful rallies in the history of midterm elections we were every arena was full we had [1:28:02] thousands and thousands of people outside that couldn't get in we had to use the big [1:28:06] televisions jumbotrons they were unbelievable they were unbelievable rallies but i wasn't on the [1:28:13] ballot i wish i was on the ballot i think you would have had a much different outcome you can expect [1:28:17] more do you expect more departures in the coming months very little we have a great we have a great [1:28:23] capital now when you first when you were the washington times when you first struck around iran rather [1:28:31] um it was very popular with goq voters but then you eventually pulled back as far as [1:28:36] going into negotiations who persuaded you to do that nobody we hit iran very hard we look if we [1:28:43] didn't hit iran you wouldn't have israel today israel would be gone would have been wiped off [1:28:48] the face of the earth and they know it the face of the earth they know that you wouldn't have i [1:28:53] believe the middle east because if you look iran just with regular missiles started hitting qatar [1:29:01] saudi arabia uae nobody thought that was going to happen if they had nuclear they would have used [1:29:06] nuclear they would have obliterated the middle east they would have gone after europe and they [1:29:11] would have gone after some of our cities because i know them very well i deal with them a lot and [1:29:17] i know that they're crazy so we'll see what happens we're dealing with them now they want [1:29:22] to make a deal very badly they have 300 percent inflation their navy's gone their airport everything's [1:29:27] gone and they want to make a deal so we'll see if they make a deal do you want to make the deal [1:29:32] really soon are you open to waiting well we have nobody getting hurt nobody getting killed you know [1:29:40] this is a war that we may have been there for seven months but we probably fought for three or four [1:29:45] weeks really fought and again you look at world war one that's a war world war ii that's a war you look [1:29:51] at russia ukraine that's a war we're not fighting we have we have the greatest blockade in military history [1:29:59] nothing comes through the hormon straight without our approval nothing is going to iran no oil is [1:30:06] going to iran mr president you got a couple months before the new congress takes uh takes their seats [1:30:12] what are your priorities what would you like to get done what do you think you need to get done [1:30:16] before they step in the senate has to act the senate is getting nothing passed and it's just killing our [1:30:26] country that means democrats and republicans they're just not getting anything done so [1:30:31] the democrats voted a block we could have the best bill in the world for our country [1:30:36] they vote in a block and we always have a few republicans that obstruct and hopefully john [1:30:44] thune can finally get him to act i mean the senate has to act the biggest problem we have it's a roadblock [1:30:50] it's you send things to the senate when you want it to die so they have to get together [1:30:57] schumer and john thune or whoever is going to be representing the democrats they got to have to [1:31:02] get things done the senate the senate is killing our country nothing is getting through the senate [1:31:12] and you know what our voters saw that and that's one of the problems we had in my opinion the biggest [1:31:17] the save america act didn't get passed all of these things didn't happen and i mean think of it save [1:31:23] america it's the simplest thing in the world so the senate has to now the democrats [1:31:28] voted against it unanimously so they voted against voter id and proof of citizenship [1:31:34] that's save america and how do you do that you do that because i guess you want to cheat [1:31:40] but the republicans should have passed it so with john thune who's a good man but it's got to get [1:31:47] things done do you still think he's the appropriate leader for republicans in the senate it's going to be [1:31:51] up to the republicans they choose i don't choose they choose get involved if they they choose it's [1:31:58] it's a very strong custom and it's going to be happening i guess next week they got to put john or [1:32:04] whoever it is they've got to get things done we have many judges and many other people waiting for [1:32:10] approval they can't get anything done in the senate there were reports of strikes near iran today in [1:32:16] kesham island did the u.s do those you know what strikes near kesham island in iran with the u.s i don't [1:32:21] want to talk about it we do minor strikes but they knock out they built a little bit of an anti-aircraft [1:32:29] device and we knocked it out in about 15 minutes maybe five because how does the republican party [1:32:35] now who builds after such devastating losses the great party we had a bad election because of [1:32:42] a few things one thing was not getting things approved in the senate one thing was we had a higher [1:32:48] oil press that we had before still lower than biden and still lower than obama and what we did is [1:32:55] something very significant we ended iran having a nuclear weapon they did nothing and yet all right [1:33:01] now the oil is coming down very rapidly unfortunately when it was learned that the democrats won that [1:33:08] particular interim and and just said the midterm election uh just so you understand presidents always [1:33:16] lose them i don't know why they lose them all the time there were a lot bigger losses than this [1:33:22] but when they learned about the midterms the soccer stock market lost three trillion dollars that's [1:33:30] the most in history so in other words the markets all over the world when they heard that the democrats [1:33:36] won that election the market dropped three trillion dollars the highest amount in history but it'll [1:33:44] level off and we'll do great mr president uh wall street journal reported that the white house sent a [1:33:50] letter to a lot of conservative groups warning them that the white house is monitoring their [1:33:54] statements the press statements tv appearances why is it important for the white house to make that [1:33:59] warning i've never heard that i mean i'd like to see it i haven't heard that i don't know i mean [1:34:03] maybe somebody said something but i know nothing about should should the white house be monitoring [1:34:07] i think it's going to be a very big sentiment i think it's going to involve all of your [1:34:38] europe it's going to be a very big side you encourage them to come to the table like you [1:34:42] haven't done well i do all the time i'm friends with everybody and i do all the time i'd like to see [1:34:47] the killing stop and you know they lost 25 000 mostly soldiers last month between the two of them [1:34:55] between russia and ukraine and it shouldn't happen it's very sad 25 000 souls they're very sad [1:35:03] that's called a war not a world where you go six months and no nobody's even wounded what we are [1:35:11] is uh maybe an occupier could be an occupier because you know we do we control the harmony [1:35:19] street we're taking out more oil now than we have at any time in the history of the harmony [1:35:25] of the other things the economy is incredible other than we lost about three trillion dollars [1:35:33] when they found out that the democrats did well in the election rather surprisingly but that's the way [1:35:40] life goes had to do it had to do with the fact that we won't let iran have a nuclear weapon so you [1:35:48] always have to go with that first but uh we just had a very good meeting and we have a lot of good [1:35:55] calls made and we're doing very well so we're working well with russia ukraine we're making a [1:36:00] lot of progress we've made a lot of progress with iran we're taking out more oil now than we were [1:36:06] before the war it's not a war it can't be a war when for five months nobody was hurt killed or anything [1:36:14] else it's not a war you know in russia ukraine they lose 25 000 people a month we haven't lost anybody in [1:36:21] seven months so i don't think that's a war total control but we're dealing with the iranians we'll see [1:36:27] how that all works out uh you have any questions you're going to be working with democrats a lot [1:36:33] over the next two years what is an initiative or effort led by the democrats that you think you [1:36:37] could get behind i think a lot i mean i said

stephen miller as your wartime consigliere do you agree with that to pick characterization [1:37:19] well he's a great fighter he's been with me right from the beginning 2015 he was with me from

[1:51:59] week they got to put john or whoever it is they've got to get things done we have many judges and many [1:52:07] other people waiting for approval they can't get anything done in the senate [1:52:11] president there were reports of strikes near iran today in kesham island did the u.s do those [1:52:16] you know what strikes near kesham island in iran with the u.s i don't want to talk

heard that the democrats [1:53:34] won that election the market dropped three trillion dollars the highest amount in history but it'll [1:53:41] level off and will do great mr president the wall street journal reported that the white house sent a [1:53:47] letter to a lot of conservative groups warning them that the white house is monitoring their [1:53:52] statements their press statements tv appearances why is it important for the white house to make that [1:53:57] warning i've never heard that i mean i'd like to see it i haven't heard that i don't know i mean [1:54:00] maybe somebody said something but i know nothing about it should should the white house be monitoring [1:54:05] who are you i'm praying we're down here with npr [1:54:10] they had later conversations you're having with russia does anything feel different this time is there [1:54:14] anything you're doing russia and ukraine for the first time i think want to settle we have meetings [1:54:22] i've had phone calls today i'm having some tomorrow they're having a meeting on monday and tuesdays you know [1:54:27] but they i think they want to settle this is the call i think it's going to be a very big settlement [1:54:33] is there anything i think it's going to involve all of europe it's going to be a very big [1:54:36] something you're doing all the time i'm friends with everybody and i do all the time i'd like to [1:54:44] see the killing stop and you know they lost 25 000 mostly soldiers last month between the two of them [1:54:52] between russia and ukraine and it shouldn't happen it's a very sad 25 000 souls and very sad [1:55:03] that's called a war not a world where you go six months and no nobody's even wounded what we are is [1:55:10] maybe an occupier could be an occupier because you know we do we control the harmless we're taking out [1:55:18] more oil now than we have at any time in the history of the harmless other things the economy is [1:55:28] incredible other than we lost about three trillion dollars when they found out that the democrats did [1:55:34] well in the election rather surprisingly but that's the way life goes had to do it had to do with the [1:55:42] fact that we won't let iran have a nuclear weapon you always have to go with that first but uh we just [1:55:50] had a very good meeting and we have a lot of good calls made and we're doing very well so we're [1:55:55] working well with russia ukraine we're making a lot of progress we've made a lot of progress with iran [1:56:02] we've taken out more oil now than we were before the war it's not a war it can't be a war when for [1:56:07] five months nobody is hurt killed or anything else it's not a war you know in russia ukraine they lose [1:56:14] 25 000 people a month we haven't lost anybody in seven months so i don't think that's a war [1:56:20] total control but we're dealing with the iranians we'll see how that all works out uh do you have [1:56:27] any questions you're going to be working with democrats a lot over the next two years what is [1:56:32] an initiative or effort led by the democrats that you think you could get behind i think a lot i mean [1:56:38] i said before immigration is one the tax cuts or maybe certain things having to do with taxes to make [1:56:44] it more convenient and better a lot of economic development initiatives we can do i think we [1:56:51] could do a lot of things together actually you know a lot of them are about common sense also and i [1:56:56] think you'll see that you can see already some of the people that are elected want to meet and want [1:57:02] to discuss things having to do with as an example texas south carolina you know etc so i'm very much open [1:57:08] to it mr president there's people describing stephen miller as your wartime consigliere do you agree [1:57:15] with that to pick characterization well he's a great fighter he's been with me right from the beginning [1:57:20] 2015 he was with me from before 2016 2015 and he's very loyal smart does a great job he's been an mvp [1:57:30] every year he's been just great so we're very happy with him he's gotten great reviews i have to say [1:57:37] were you unhappy with your team because of the results of the election not because of the [1:57:42] election it's just time sometimes you change uh the election wasn't my election i wasn't on the [1:57:48] ballot if i was on the ballot you saw the rallies they were the biggest most powerful rallies in the [1:57:55] history of midterm elections we were every arena was full we had thousands and thousands of people [1:58:00] outside that couldn't get in we had to use the big televisions jumbotrons they were unbelievable they [1:58:06] were unbelievable rallies uh but i wasn't on the ballot i wish i was on the ballot i think you [1:58:11] would have had a much different outcome do you expect more do you expect more departures in the [1:58:16] coming months very little we have a great we have a great captain now when you first [1:58:23] washington times when you first struck iran iran rather um it was very popular with goq voters but then [1:58:30] you eventually pulled back as far as going into negotiations who persuaded you to do that [1:58:36] nobody we hit iran very hard we look if we didn't hit iran you wouldn't have israel today israel would [1:58:43] be gone would have been wiped off the face of the earth and they know it the face of the earth they [1:58:48] know that you wouldn't have i believe the middle east because if you look iran just with regular [1:58:55] missiles started hitting qatar and saudi arabia uae nobody thought that was going to happen if they had [1:59:01] nuclear they would have used nuclear they would have obliterated the middle east they would have gone [1:59:06] after europe and they would have gone after some of our cities because i know them very well i deal [1:59:12] with them a lot and i know they're crazy so we'll see what happens we're dealing with them now they [1:59:19] want to make a deal very badly they have 300 percent inflation their navy's gone their airport everything's [1:59:24] gone and they want to make a deal so we'll see if they make a deal do you want to make the deal really [1:59:29] soon or are you open to waiting well we have nobody getting hurt nobody getting killed you know this [1:59:37] is a war that we may have been there for seven months but we probably fought for three or four [1:59:41] weeks really fought and again you look at world war one that's a war world war ii that's a war you [1:59:47] look at russia ukraine that's a war we're not fighting we have we have the greatest blockade in military [1:59:55] history nothing comes through the hormon strait without our approval nothing is going to iran no oil is going [2:00:03] to arrest you mr president you've got a couple months before the new congress takes uh takes [2:00:08] their seats what are your priorities what would you like to get done what do you think you need to get [2:00:12] done before they step in the senate has to act the senate is getting nothing passed and it's just [2:00:22] killing our country that means democrats and republicans they're just not getting anything done so [2:00:28] the democrats voted a block we could have the best bill in the world for our country [2:00:32] they vote in a block and we always have a few republicans that obstruct and hopefully john [2:00:41] thune can finally get him to act i mean the senate has to act the biggest problem we have it's a road [2:00:46] block it's you send things to the senate when you want it to die so they have to get together [2:00:53] schumer and john thune or whoever is going to be representing the democrats they got to have to get [2:00:59] things done the senate the senate is killing our country nothing is getting through the senate and [2:01:08] you know what our voters saw that and that's one of the problems we had in my opinion the biggest [2:01:14] the save america act didn't get passed all of these things didn't happen and i mean think of it save [2:01:20] america it's the simplest thing in the world so the senate has to now the democrats voted against it [2:01:26] unanimously so they voted against voter id and proof of citizenship that's save america and how do you [2:01:33] do that you do that because i guess you want to cheat but the republicans should have passed it [2:01:39] so with john thune who's a good man but he's got to get things done do you still think he's the [2:01:45] appropriate leader for republicans in the senate it's going to be up to the republicans they choose [2:01:49] i don't choose they choose get involved if they they choose it's a very strong custom and it's going [2:01:57] to be happening i guess next week they got to put john or whoever it is they've got to get things [2:02:03] done we have many judges and many other people waiting for approval they can't get anything done [2:02:09] in the senate there were reports of strikes near iran today's keshem island did the u.s do those [2:02:15] about what strikes near keshem island in iran with the u.s i don't want to talk about it we do minor strikes [2:02:21] but they knocked out they built a little bit of an anti-aircraft device and we knocked it out in [2:02:28] about 15 minutes maybe five because how does the republican party now he builds after such devastating [2:02:34] the great party we had a bad election because of a few things one thing was not getting things [2:02:41] approved in the senate one thing was we had a higher oil price than we had before still lower than biden [2:02:48] and still lower than obama and what we did is something very significant we ended iran having [2:02:55] a nuclear weapon they did nothing and yet all right now the oil is coming down very rapidly [2:03:01] unfortunately when it was learned that the democrats won that particular [2:03:07] interim and and it just said the midterm election uh just so you understand presidents always lose them i [2:03:14] don't know why they lose them all the time there were a lot bigger losses than this [2:03:18] but when they learned about the midterms the soccer stock market loss
