President Trump Speaks To Reporters On Air Force One After Meeting With Chinese President Xi Jinping

[0:00] Hello, everybody. [0:01] How are you, Mr. President? [0:02] How are you? [0:03] So we had a great stay. [0:04] It was an amazing period of time. [0:06] President Xi is an incredible guy. [0:10] He got along and made a lot of great trade deals, [0:13] including over 200 planes for Boeing, [0:16] with a promise of 750 planes, [0:19] which will be by far the largest order ever, [0:21] if they do a good job with the 200, [0:23] which I'm sure they will. [0:25] And that's General Electric also, the engines. [0:28] So they're buying General Electric. [0:31] Approximately 400, 450 engines and 200 planes, [0:36] and a promise of up to 750 if they do a good job. [0:41] We had an amazing time. [0:43] It was a very historic. [0:45] Oh, look who we have. [0:46] Hello, David. [0:47] It was a very historic couple of days, I think. [0:51] A million days. [0:53] Sir, I know there will be a lot of questions around the China trip, [0:57] but just first on Iran, [0:58] have you rejected the latest proposal from Iran, [1:01] or where does that stand? [1:03] I looked at it, and if I don't like the first sentence, [1:06] I just throw it away. [1:07] What was the first sentence? [1:10] An unacceptable sentence. [1:13] They have fully agreed. [1:14] No nuclear. [1:15] And if they have any nuclear of any form, [1:17] I don't read the rest of it. [1:19] So 20 years is not enough for you? [1:21] It's got to be a perfect... [1:22] No, 20 years is enough. [1:24] The level of guarantee from them, [1:27] in other words, [1:29] it's got to be a real 20 years, [1:30] not a... [1:31] It means you've got to get all the fuel out, [1:34] and no more production. [1:35] No, you have to get everything, [1:36] but we're not even talking about... [1:38] I call it the nuclear dust. [1:39] I came up with a term which seems to have gone on. [1:42] But... [1:43] They're talking about it because they would not remove the... [1:44] Yeah, they said that they can't remove it, [1:46] because they don't have the technology to remove it. [1:48] They don't have the type of tractors. [1:50] They say the only one... [1:52] They told me directly, [1:53] they said the only one that can remove it is China or the U.S. [1:56] We're the only ones with the equipment. [1:58] They said you were right. [2:00] It is a complete obliteration. [2:02] With that being said, [2:03] I want to get it. [2:04] And they agreed to it, [2:06] but then they took it back, [2:07] but they'll agree to it eventually. [2:09] Can I ask you about Taiwan? [2:11] What did President Xi say to you about Taiwan? [2:13] What did President Xi say to you about Taiwan? [2:15] What did President Xi say to you about Taiwan? [2:17] And are you still going to approve the arms sale? [2:21] So, President Xi and I talked a lot about Taiwan. [2:25] He thinks they cannot have anything to do with what they're doing. [2:32] I mean, he's against very much what they're doing. [2:35] We talked about Taiwan. [2:36] We talked about Iran a lot. [2:38] And I think we have a very good understanding about both. [2:43] On Taiwan, he does not want to see a fight for independence, [2:47] because that would be a very strong confrontation. [2:51] And I heard him out. [2:53] Were you going to think you were worried? [2:56] No, I didn't make a comment on it. [2:57] I heard him out. [2:58] I have a lot of respect for him. [3:00] On Iran, it's very interesting. [3:01] He feels strongly they can't have a nuclear weapon. [3:04] He said that very strongly. [3:06] They cannot have a nuclear weapon. [3:08] And he wants them to open up the strait. [3:11] But as he said, they closed it, and then you close them with a smile. [3:15] And it's true. [3:16] We control the strait. [3:18] And they've done no business. [3:20] Literally, they've done no business in the last two and a half weeks, [3:24] which is approximately $500 million a day. [3:28] So we're doing very well on all fronts. [3:34] On Taiwan, Mr. President, [3:37] President Xi said that there was a risk of conflict with the U.S. over Taiwan. [3:41] What's your response to that? [3:43] I don't think there's a conflict. [3:44] Other than we don't need their strait. [3:48] We don't need the other ones. [3:49] On Taiwan, Mr. President Xi said there was a risk of conflict with the U.S. over Taiwan. [3:55] No, no. [3:56] I don't think so. [3:57] I don't think so. [3:58] I think we're going to be... [3:59] I think we'll be fine. [4:00] He doesn't want to see... [4:01] He doesn't want to see a war. [4:04] And you have two things. [4:06] You have the Iranian situation. [4:08] And that I think we agree almost entirely other than he's a buyer. [4:12] And we're not. [4:13] We don't need it. [4:14] And on Taiwan, he doesn't want to see a movement for independence. [4:18] He says, look, you know, we've had it for thousands of years. [4:21] And then at a certain period of time it left that we were going to get it back. [4:25] We had the Korean War. [4:26] A lot of things happened after all this. [4:28] But, no. [4:30] With Taiwan, he feels very strongly. [4:34] I made no commitment either way. [4:35] Let's see what happened. [4:36] What about the arms sales to Taiwan? [4:38] I'll make a determination over the next fairly short period. [4:42] But you're not necessarily going to go ahead. [4:44] It was your proposal. [4:45] I'm going to make a determination. [4:46] I'm going to say, I have to speak to the person that right now, as you know, you know who he is, that's running Taiwan. [4:52] Did President Xi make any firm commitments to put pressure on the Iranians to reopen the Strait of Hornets? [5:01] I'm not asking for any favors. [5:04] Because when you ask for favors, you have to do favors in return. [5:07] We don't need favors. [5:08] We've wiped out their armed forces, essentially. [5:12] We may have to do a little cleanup work because we had a little month-long ceasefire, I guess you'd call it. [5:21] But we have a blockade that's so effective, that's why we did the ceasefire. [5:24] We really did the ceasefire at the request of other nations. [5:28] I wouldn't have really been in favor of it. [5:30] But we did it as a favor to Pakistan or terrific people, the field marshal and the prime minister. [5:37] But, no, I mean, President Xi and I agree on many things. [5:43] And we agree very much on trade. [5:45] We're going to be doing a lot of trading. [5:47] Our farmers are going to be taking it in. [5:50] I mean, our farmers are going to be very happy with the deal we made. [5:53] I think that he will put pressure and that he will try and get them to do more. [5:57] I think he is going to put pressure because I don't need favors. [6:01] I think he will. [6:02] I think automatically. [6:03] He'd like to see it opened up. [6:06] He gets about 40% of his energy or his oil from that, you know, from the strait. [6:10] We get none. [6:11] We get none. [6:12] We don't need it. [6:13] Mr. President, on Social, you said that President Xi had made a reference to the decline of the U.S. [6:21] We didn't hear him say that. [6:23] Maybe it was something he said in private to you. [6:25] So what was it, first of all, that he said that Trump didn't exist? [6:28] He made a statement. [6:31] It might not have been from him. [6:34] It was somebody. [6:35] But they talked about the decline. [6:37] But he said today, and he said it very publicly, he said the U.S. was declining for the last four years. [6:43] And he said what President Trump has done in the last 15, 16 months has been virtually a miracle. [6:50] He said we have the hottest. [6:52] He said we have the hottest country anywhere in the world. [6:55] But he said it was a declining country under Joe Biden. [7:00] And Joe Biden, he said we had a declining, a seriously declining country, which we did, with people pouring in from all over the world, from prisons and everything else. [7:11] He said what President Trump has done has been a virtual miracle. [7:16] It's the hottest country anywhere in the world. [7:18] And it is, yeah. [7:19] Mr. President, on a different subject, on Cuba, there's reporting that Raul Castro could be indicted by the DOJ, I believe. [7:27] What does that mean? [7:28] Well, I don't want to comment on that. [7:29] I'll let the DOJ comment on it. [7:31] But they need help, as you know. [7:34] And you talk about a declining country. [7:37] They are really a nation or a country in decline. [7:40] So we're going to see. [7:41] We have a lot to talk about on Cuba, but not maybe for today. [7:44] Tariffs, Mr. President. [7:45] Did you agree with President Xi to extend that year-long truce on tariffs? [7:51] We didn't discuss tariffs. [7:52] I mean, they're paying tariffs. [7:54] They're paying substantial tariffs, but we didn't discuss. [7:58] You know, before I came along, it was the opposite. [8:01] We didn't discuss tariffs. [8:02] How come? [8:03] It wasn't brought up. [8:05] Mr. President, you said in January to us that you were going to bring up the expansion of their nuclear program. [8:12] Obviously, they've got 600 weapons now. [8:16] By the Pentagon's estimate, going to 1,500. [8:19] Did that come up? [8:20] Did you succeed in getting them into any form of arms control? [8:24] Remember, we discussed a new story. [8:27] You're talking about China. [8:28] China. [8:29] We brought it up. [8:30] The denuclearization. [8:31] I talk about it all the time. [8:33] With Russia and with China. [8:35] And it did come up. [8:36] We did discuss. [8:37] And what did you conclude? [8:38] I got a very positive response. [8:40] It's the beginning. [8:41] You know, we're going to be together four times, potentially, this year. [8:44] We have the G20, which he wants to come to, which I'd like him to come to. [8:49] It's going to be in Miami. [8:50] It's going to be a Doral. [8:52] And it's going to be, I think, very good. [8:54] Much more important if he's there. [8:56] And so you have the G20. [8:58] We have one that he has, as you know, in November. [9:01] Right. [9:02] In China. [9:03] He's asked me to be there. [9:04] I'm going to try to be there. [9:05] Okay. [9:06] And then we have another one on September, I guess, 26th or 24th, when he's coming into the White House. [9:11] I'm trying to understand what it is he committed to, if he committed anything. [9:15] Well, I don't want to say anybody committed. [9:17] But we have a very good understanding. [9:19] So are you going to do this? [9:20] You know, the concept of denuclearization. [9:22] Denuclearization or just an extension of the storm? [9:25] No, a denuclearization. [9:26] In other words, building down. [9:28] And you bring Russia into it also. [9:30] But the concept of that is something that would be very good. [9:34] Can I ask you about the political prisoners in China? [9:38] Did you bring up with President Xi any of the political prisoners in China? [9:41] Are any going to be released? [9:42] Any progress? [9:43] I think he's giving very serious consideration to the pastor. [9:48] The pastor has said he's giving very serious consideration to them. [9:54] What about Jimmy Live? [9:55] I discussed it. [9:56] What about Jimmy Live? [9:57] It's a tougher one. [9:58] I did bring it up. [9:59] It's a tougher one. [10:00] For him, it's a tougher one. [10:01] What did he say about it? [10:02] I have to say. [10:03] For him, it's a very... [10:04] He told me. [10:05] I don't want to mislead anybody. [10:07] He said Jimmy Live is a tough one for him to do. [10:09] He went through a lot. [10:12] And right or wrong, they went through a lot. [10:14] So he told me that would be a tough one. [10:17] He said he's going to strongly consider the pastor. [10:19] Sir, can I ask you, too, on technology? [10:21] First, computer chips, advanced computer chips like the H200s that Jensen has. [10:27] Did that come up at all? [10:28] It didn't come up. [10:29] But, as you know, Jensen was there. [10:30] He's an amazing guy in the video. [10:31] And he would be inclined. [10:32] You know, they have a much higher level than the H200. [10:37] But the H200 is good. [10:38] China needs it. [10:39] And so, yeah, it came up. [10:40] They haven't bought it in so much. [10:41] No, because they chose not to. [10:42] They want to try and develop their own. [10:43] But it did come up. [10:44] And I think something could happen on that. [10:45] And then on artificial intelligence… [10:46] We have quite a bit higher level. [10:47] But the H200 is a good… [10:48] It's a great chip. [10:49] And then on artificial intelligence, what is it that you want to get done? [10:50] Did you bring up… [10:51] We did. [10:52] We're leading by a lot. [10:54] But they're second and they're very strong. [10:55] And we talked about possibly working together for guardrails. [10:57] And what kind of guardrails do you want? [10:58] Standard guardrails that we talk about all the time. [11:00] AI is fantastic. [11:01] So, I think it's a good thing. [11:02] And it's a good thing. [11:03] It's a good thing. [11:04] It's a good thing. [11:05] And what kind of guardrails do you want? [11:06] It's a good thing. [11:07] And so, I think we're going to come up and I think something could happen on that. [11:08] And then on artificial intelligence… [11:09] It's going to have quite a bit higher level. [11:10] But the H200 is a good… [11:11] It's a great chip. [11:12] And then on artificial intelligence, what is it that you want to get done? [11:14] Did you bring up… [11:16] We did. [11:17] We're leading by a lot. [11:18] We're doing it for guardrails. [11:19] And what kind of guardrails do you want? [11:20] Standard guardrails that we talk about all the time. [11:24] AI is fantastic. [11:25] So many things can happen in terms of health and medicine and operations, everything. [11:31] The military. [11:32] So many things can happen. [11:34] But it's also got some drawbacks and we're talking about, we probably will. [11:40] We're going to work together. [11:41] We had a very good conversation about a lot of things. [11:45] So, biological, nuclear, cyber… [11:47] Would you specifically discuss those, right? [11:50] We discussed those risks, we discussed, I would say, almost everything you can discuss [11:55] except for a reduction of tariffs. [11:57] Right, okay. [11:58] On Iran, Mr. President, just to be clear, I mean, what's next? [12:02] Are you, is the threat of the bombing starting again? [12:05] How realistic is that? [12:06] I don't want to say that. [12:07] I mean, I'd like to tell you. [12:08] I'd like to say, on a certain hour, a certain day, the bombing is going to start. [12:13] I don't want to say that. [12:15] I can only say that Iran, I can say this with very, very strong conviction, Iran will [12:22] never have a nuclear weapon. [12:24] Not going to happen. [12:25] Now, President, what would the use be of repeating the bombing, you did it for 38 days, and you [12:34] did not get the political changes in Iran? [12:37] I got, I had a total military victory, but the fake news, guys like you write indirectly, [12:43] you're a fake guy. [12:45] We had a total military victory. [12:50] We knocked out their entire Navy. [12:52] We knocked out their entire Air Force. [12:55] We knocked out all of their anti-aircraft weaponry. [12:59] We knocked out all of their radar. [13:01] We knocked out all of their leaders, number one, and then we knocked out all of their leaders [13:06] in the second division, and we knocked out numerous of their leaders in the third division. [13:12] And they're very confused. [13:13] We've had a total victory, except by people like you that don't write the truth. [13:19] You know, you should write, I actually think it's sort of treasonous what you write, but [13:23] you and the New York Times and CNN, I would say, are the worst. [13:26] It's not on another war. [13:28] You should know better than that. [13:29] You know better than that. [13:30] You know better than that. [13:31] You know better than that. [13:32] But the senators tell you what to write, and you're right, and you should be ashamed of [13:35] it. [13:36] I actually think it's treason when you write like they're doing well militarily and they [13:38] have no Navy, no Air Force, no anti-anything. [13:40] By the way, we knocked out 85% of their manufacturing for missiles. [13:47] We knocked out everything. [13:49] We haven't knocked out other than one bridge, and we did because they misbehaved, but we [13:54] have bridges we could knock out. [13:55] We could knock out their bridges and their electrical capacity within two days, we could [13:59] knock out the whole thing. [14:01] And then I read the New York Times and they act like they're doing well. [14:07] Everybody knows that that's why your subscribers are way down. [14:10] You know, the Times subscribers are way down because it's fake, man. [14:13] Did you discuss Ukraine at all with President Xi, and is there any movement on that? [14:21] I did. [14:22] We discussed, well, it's one that we'd like to see settled. [14:26] Until last night, it was looking good, but they took a big hit last night. [14:31] So, it's going to happen, but it's a shame. [14:34] 25,000 people died last month. [14:36] Yeah. [14:37] Admiral Cooper of CEMCOM was asked yesterday about the strike on the girls' school on the [14:41] first day of the war. [14:42] Oh, that's under investigation. [14:44] You're talking about the original calendar. [14:46] It was the only case of investigation at the moment. [14:49] It's a civilian casualty. [14:50] No, no, I think we have a couple of things under investigation. [14:52] But that is, that is under investigation. [14:54] Were you able to confirm that it was a U.S. missile? [14:57] Who you with? [14:58] BBC for the radio. [15:00] Fake BBC. [15:01] You mean the ones that put AI in my mouth? [15:03] The ones that gave me, that had me saying a statement that they now admit was not true? [15:09] The ones that put terrible words in my mouth and then had to admit that it was fake? [15:15] The ones that are being sued now for $5 billion and don't know what to do? [15:19] You're with BBC? [15:20] They're another fake outfit. [15:21] Yes. [15:22] I'm sorry. [15:23] I'm sorry. [15:24] I'm sorry. [15:25] I'm sorry. [15:26] I'm sorry. [15:27] I'm sorry. [15:28] I'm sorry. [15:29] The farmers are going to be very happy. [15:30] They're going to be buying billions of dollars of soybeans. [15:32] Yeah. [15:33] Well, we were talking about Britain, but Keir Starmer, the prime minister there, is in a [15:37] lot of trouble. [15:38] I know you were asked about this. [15:39] He's in trouble for two reasons, energy and immigration. [15:44] He's very bad on energy. [15:45] He should open up the North Sea. [15:47] He's got a coal mine and he should open up oil in the North Sea and he doesn't. [15:52] They have a tremendous value. [15:55] You know, they buy their oil, a lot of it, from Norway. [15:59] Norway gets it from the North Sea. [16:01] Not as good an area as Scotland and the UK has. [16:05] So they're paying Norway a fortune for oil that they take out of the North Sea. [16:09] Do you think Starmer is going to survive as prime minister? [16:11] It's a tough thing unless he can straighten out immigration where he's weak. [16:16] And if he doesn't start drilling, stop with the windmills all over the place that are causing havoc. [16:22] They're causing havoc. [16:24] Most expensive form of energy. [16:26] They kill the birds. [16:27] They're unsightly. [16:28] They're ruining the landscape. [16:29] If he doesn't stop with the windmills, he's got to do energy. [16:33] He's got to open up the North Sea. [16:35] You know, he's got one of the greatest oil finds anywhere in the world and he's not using it. [16:40] And I tell him that. [16:41] He's not using it. [16:42] Should he quit? [16:43] The oil companies call me every day. [16:45] Please, please, we want to go to the North Sea. [16:48] He doesn't allow it to happen. [16:49] Should he quit? [16:50] I don't say that. [16:51] I think he's a nice man, actually. [16:53] But, I mean, I didn't like when he said, we're going to send ships as soon as you're finished with the war. [17:01] But we're sort of finished militarily pretty much. [17:05] But we, you know, David, we are finished probably 70, 75 percent. [17:10] We didn't finish every one of the things. [17:12] We'll go back and finish them off. [17:14] And by the way, and more than that. [17:16] You saw the reporting on the missile capability, missile launchers that have remained. [17:21] Does that seem accurate to you? [17:22] No, it's New York Times fake news. [17:25] The missile launches are probably 80 percent gone. [17:30] The New York Times said it's like we were hitting them like piñatas. [17:36] The missile launches are largely gone. [17:39] The manufacturing of missiles is about 80 percent, 80 to 85 percent gone. [17:45] And we know where the rest of it is. [17:46] So, if we go in, we'll take that out very early. [17:49] There are no intelligence reports. [17:52] Not for them. [17:53] They weren't intelligence reports. [17:55] They were New York Times fake news. [17:58] Sir, would you consider lifting the sanctions on Chinese oil companies that buy Iranian oil? [18:03] Well, we talked about that. [18:04] And I'm going to make a decision over the next few days. [18:07] We did talk about that. [18:08] Do you think Xi felt stronger in his dealings with you than he did the last time that the [18:14] COVID came along? [18:15] You know, I blame them for that. [18:17] I said it was Wuhan and I was right. [18:20] And, you know, look, that was a strain on everybody, COVID. [18:23] And, you know, it affected our relationship at the time. [18:28] But we always had a great relationship before that and after that. [18:33] And now it's as strong as ever. [18:34] I mean, I went over to where he lives, which is something that rarely happened. [18:39] Were you there? [18:40] I don't know. [18:41] Yeah, it was beautiful. [18:43] It was amazing. [18:44] People have never seen it before. [18:45] It was amazing, actually. [18:46] We had lunch. [18:48] We have a great understanding. [18:49] And I think he feels... [18:50] I mean, it's a very positive thing to have these two nations getting along with him. [18:53] Mr. President, on Taiwan again, you said you were going to check with the President of [18:57] Taiwan. [18:58] But the 1982 assurances that President Reagan gave said you would not, said the United States [19:05] would not consult with China on arms sales to Taiwan. [19:09] It sounds to me like you have consulted with China. [19:12] Well, I think 1982 is a long way. [19:13] It was. [19:14] It was. [19:15] It was. [19:16] That's a big thought. [19:17] Did you dispense with them? [19:18] No, I didn't say anything about it. [19:20] But certainly, you know, he brought that up. [19:23] He talked about that for me, obviously. [19:25] So what am I going to do? [19:26] I don't want to talk to you about it. [19:27] Because I have an agreement that was signed in 1982. [19:30] No, we discussed arms sales too. [19:33] Now, what's his request? [19:34] We discussed in Taiwan, you know, the whole thing with the arms sales was in great detail, [19:39] actually. [19:40] And I'll be making decisions. [19:42] What letters would you like? [19:43] You know, I think the last thing we need right now is a war that's 9,500 miles away. [19:50] I think that's the last thing we need. [19:52] We're doing very well. [19:53] Would the U.S. defend Taiwan if it came to it? [19:55] I don't want to say anything. [19:56] I'm not going to say that. [19:58] There's only one person that knows that. [20:01] You know who it is? [20:02] Me. [20:03] I'm the only person. [20:04] That question was asked to me today by President Xi. [20:07] I said, I don't talk about that. [20:09] He asked you today. [20:10] He asked you if you would send troops. [20:13] He asked me if I defend them. [20:15] I said, I don't talk about that. [20:16] She tells him now. [20:17] I don't talk about that. [20:18] Did you talk to him about the cyber attacks that he's done in the United States or the MSS? [20:23] I did. [20:24] He talked about attacks that we did in China. [20:27] You know, what they do, we do too. [20:29] It's like the spying. [20:30] They're talking about, oh, the spying. [20:32] I said, well, we do it too. [20:33] The spying for the infrastructure. [20:34] Look, no, I'm talking about spying. [20:36] The question was asked to me yesterday, I guess, what about the fact that China is spying in the United States? [20:43] I said, well, it's one of those things because we spy like hell on them too. [20:48] What about the fact that China is putting in the U.S. infrastructure code that they could use if you ever decided to come to the United States? [20:56] Well, you don't know that. [20:57] I mean, I'd like to see it. [20:58] But it's very possible that they do. [21:00] And we're doing things to them. [21:02] I told them, we do a lot of stuff to you that you don't know about. [21:05] And you're doing things to us that we probably do know about. [21:09] But we do plenty. [21:10] It's a double, it's a double-edged. [21:12] And we're doing things to us that, again, on President Xi. [21:14] A couple of years ago, when President Biden met him in San Francisco, he was asked if he thought President Xi was a dictator. [21:21] Do you think President Xi is a dictator? [21:23] I think that President Biden was an incompetent president. [21:27] He gave us the Iran nuclear deal, which allowed Iran to have a nuclear weapon within a matter of years from the time they said, I terminated it. [21:35] If I didn't terminate that, Iran would have a nuclear weapon that they would have used it within probably two years ago, three years ago. [21:42] If I didn't go in with the B-2 bombers nine months ago, Iran would have a nuclear weapon and nobody would be able to talk to him. [21:49] By the way, they would have used it already. [21:51] Do you think President Xi is a dictator or not? [21:54] I don't think about it. [21:56] He's the ruler. [21:57] He's the president of China. [21:59] I don't think about it. [22:01] You simply would have had to deal with what you have. [22:03] I respect him. [22:05] He's very smart. [22:06] He loves his country. [22:07] I respect him. [22:08] Whether he's a dictator, that's for you to figure out. [22:10] Yes, sir. [22:11] You said you didn't talk about tariffs. [22:13] But did you talk about fentanyl at all? [22:15] I did. [22:16] I talked about fentanyl. [22:17] As you know, I put a tariff on because of fentanyl. [22:20] And they discussed that. [22:22] But I put a penalty. [22:24] It's a penalty. [22:25] A lot of money we take in because of that. [22:28] I prefer not taking it. [22:29] And I prefer that we don't have. [22:30] But we did talk about fentanyl. [22:32] Well, you know, the fentanyl is way down from where it was. [22:37] And it could be because of the tariff penalty. [22:39] Sir, a domestic issue, if I could. [22:41] Where are you on the Texas Senate race? [22:43] Well, I'll maybe make a decision. [22:45] I know them both very well. [22:47] I like them both a lot. [22:49] And, you know, my record of endorsements is extraordinary. [22:53] You look at what happened with Indiana. [22:55] And out of all those races, the one that won was there were three Trump people in the race. [23:01] If they had won, he would have won in a landslide. [23:04] But I took out all of these candidates. [23:08] You know, long-time candidates with big leads against people that never ran before. [23:14] And the people that never ran before won virtually all the races. [23:18] And, as you know, two nights ago, I won every single endorsement. [23:24] A week ago, before that, I won every single endorsement. [23:27] There's never been a record of endorsements like this, which is a great honor as far as I'm concerned. [23:32] But you might not endorse them. [23:33] You know, MAGA is a movement the likes of which our country has never seen before. [23:37] But you might not endorse them in Texas. [23:39] I don't want to say that. [23:41] I mean, I'm looking at it versatile. [23:43] I like them both. [23:44] I mean, I'll tell you what I do think. [23:46] I think the Democrats have a weird, a weird candidate. [23:50] Six genders, a real hit on Jesus. [23:55] I mean, this guy is bad news with his mask from relatively recently. [24:01] And he's a vegan. [24:03] All of a sudden, he's not a vegan. [24:05] He was a vegan. [24:06] Now, all of a sudden, he's not. [24:07] Texas doesn't like vegans. [24:09] I do believe either one of them will easily win the race. [24:13] I think that the candidate the Democrats have in Texas is a very flawed, very weak group. [24:20] I think he's a pathetic candidate, especially for Texas. [24:24] Did you see Secretary Rubio in the briefing room the other day? [24:28] And what did you think? [24:30] You're talking about his outfit? [24:32] Yeah, that's it. [24:34] I thought he looked very good in the outfits. [24:36] I don't know if I'd do it, but I thought he looked very good. [24:40] I think he's outstanding. [24:41] I thought he was good. [24:42] I mean, I saw every word of it. [24:44] Mr. President, back to what you were saying before about the enriched uranium and Isfahan. [24:50] So what would your logic be in having just a 20-year deal? [24:54] I mean, the deal that you pulled back was 15 years. [24:58] Whether they would have gotten it faster or not is a view. [25:01] But what would the difference be here in 20 years? [25:04] Well, Obama had virtually no deal. [25:06] Obama had a road to a nuclear weapon. [25:09] And I terminated that deal. [25:11] And if I didn't terminate Barack Hussein Obama, if I didn't terminate that deal, [25:15] a red would have had a nuclear weapon two years ago. [25:18] As you know, that deal long expires. [25:19] It must have taken the most years doing it. [25:21] And then after you're bombing, they're not going to do it. [25:23] You know what? [25:24] I'll tell you what. [25:25] I know you backed Obama. [25:26] We chose what a fraud you are because that was the worst deal. [25:28] They would have had a nuclear weapon within a period of a year and a half after I terminated it. [25:35] If I didn't terminate that, and if I didn't send the B-2 bombers in nine months ago to obliterate, you know? [25:43] One thing that did happen, which was very nice, the top person in Iran representing them was the top person. [25:52] He said, I'm the only one, meaning the United States is the only one, along with possibly China, [25:57] that would be able to get the nuclear dust out of that disaster that we created with the B-2 bomber. [26:04] Are you willing to do that? [26:05] Why do you put the justice on this? [26:06] Yeah, no, and at the right time, at the right time, we'll either go in or we'll get it. [26:11] I think we'll probably get it. [26:12] But if we don't get it, we'll go in. [26:14] But you're willing to mount the operation to take it out? [26:16] Well, no, I think they'll be totally defeated, and we won't have any risk. [26:20] Yeah. [26:21] We have the equipment to take it out. [26:23] Nobody else does. [26:24] China might have the equipment. [26:26] They said, you're the only one. [26:27] They said, you and China, they weren't sure. [26:29] We have the equipment to take it out. [26:31] Sir, John, did you discuss North Korea with Xi? [26:34] I did. [26:35] What came out of that? [26:36] You know, I have a very good relationship with Kim Jong-un. [26:40] He's been pretty quiet. [26:43] Have you had any communications with him? [26:45] Yes. [26:46] Of what kind? [26:48] It doesn't matter. [26:49] I mean, I don't tell you about that. [26:50] But I have a good relationship with him. [26:52] He's been respectful of our country. [26:53] I want him to be respectful. [26:54] He's been respectful of our country. [26:55] Hey, thank you very much. [26:56] Enjoy the flight, everybody. [26:57] Thank you. [26:58] I heard you didn't have cameras back here. [26:59] In fact, I loved it. [27:00] I heard they got a camera. [27:01] I heard that you were shut out for two hours until we leave the airspace. [27:06] But he's got a camera that never misses a trigger. [27:07] You better make me look good with that camera. [27:08] All right. [27:09] Thank you very much, everyone. [27:10] Thank you very much. [27:11] Thank you very much. [27:12] Thanks for being here. [27:13] Peace. [27:14] Peace. [27:15] Peace. [27:16] Peace. [27:17] Peace. [27:19] Peace.
