President Trump Speech At FII Priority Miami Summit

[0:02] How you feeling resolved? What's that? Are you thinking everything's resolved, [0:06] working out well, the House is going to do their job? Well, we'll see. We made some temporary [0:11] headway, but we got a lot of work to do still. Hello, everyone. Congresswoman Lisa McClain here. [0:17] I want to set the record straight on what the bill that the Senate sent over to us last night [0:22] includes, or I should say doesn't include. And I'm not going to give you my opinion. I'm going [0:27] to read it right from page three of the actual bill that the Senate sent over to us in the middle [0:33] of the night. And I quote, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in the Department of Homeland [0:41] Security Act 2026 table shall be zero. What that means is zero funding for border security. Zero. [0:53] What the Democrats want is an open border policy, [0:57] like the one that we're talking about right now. And I'm going to read it right from page three of [0:57] like we had under Biden. And I absolutely will not accept that and will not vote for that. That's [1:04] why we're not taking up the Senate bill. It is absolutely offensive to the people that we [1:10] represent that the Senate would send over a bill that doesn't fund border control and the four [1:16] components of ICE, particularly what Jeremy's talking about with respect to stopping child [1:22] trafficking. It's absurd. And the fact that they would expect us to take that up and pass it today [1:28] as they do. [1:28] I mean, could the Senate be any more lazy than to send to us a bill that doesn't do the job and [1:35] then leave town? We're going to stand up and say no to that. We're going to send back a bill that's [1:39] responsible so that the American people can get behind us for wanting to secure the United States. [1:43] Everybody, it's Chip Roy here from Texas 21. And what the Senate just sent over to the House is so [1:55] laughably bad. We're rejecting it out of hand. They sent over a bill that's not going to fund [1:59] ICE and Border Patrol and stand with the great men and women who are defending our country. [2:03] We reject that. We're going to stand alongside our law enforcement, [2:06] our personnel. We're going to have a full-throated debate. We're deciding what we're going to do. [2:10] But suffice it to say, we need to stand with those who are standing up for us to defend our country. [2:15] We need to fully fund them. We need to consider voter ID and other things to make our country [2:19] safer and better. But we're not going to move this Senate bill. We're going to move something [2:23] better and send it back to the Senate. We have to. So the tennis match has begun. It's going to go [2:29] back and forth. President Trump obviously was working the phones while he's in the airplane. [2:36] He's not having it whatsoever. [2:38] In fact, he posted this. The Republicans should terminate the filibuster and vote. [2:44] Haven't they had enough of the nonsense from the radical left lunatics that are looking to destroy [2:48] our country? Make America great again. And then when he landed a little while ago, I think it's [2:55] in Miami. He went to Miami airport. He had this to say. Well, you know, the Democrats want to let [3:01] illegals come into the country, criminals, murderers, every kind of criminal you can imagine. [3:07] And [3:08] the Republicans just don't want to have it happen. We I have spent the better part of this year [3:14] trying to get these criminals out and the Democrats want to have them come in. And we can't [3:20] let that happen. We just can't let that happen. We've taken out hundreds of thousands, even [3:25] millions of people out of this country that shouldn't be. I'm not talking about people that [3:30] came in illegal and they're working and everything. I'm talking about murderers, 11,888 murderers. [3:37] And we can't let it happen. We can't. And that's what the Democrats want. They want people to come [3:43] into this country. They don't care who they are. If they murder people, they're fine with that. [3:48] They don't care who they are. They want borders to be open. We have borders that are stone cold [3:53] closed. Ten months now in a row, nobody came into the country. They want to do just the opposite. [4:01] And this would have ruined the country. If I wasn't elected, we wouldn't have a country right [4:05] now. So you can't do it. So I understand. [4:08] John Thune and I understand Mike Johnson. They want it. They want to be sure that people [4:14] aren't coming into our country like they have for the last four years. I don't want to say [4:20] they've ruined it. They made my job a lot harder. And now we have it good. We have crime down. We [4:25] have everything down. But these are people, some of the worst people. Look at Chicago. Two days [4:31] ago, they shot this bug, this horrible human being came in through the Biden open border. [4:38] They killed this [4:39] beautiful young girl who's a friend of, whose father was a good friend of Dan Scavino. And it's [4:47] just happening every single day. These are the worst gang members, the worst killers, the worst. [4:54] They allowed the worst people. And you know why? Because the country sent them out. When they saw [4:59] open borders, every country throughout the world, they sent them into a country. And we don't want [5:05] that. And that's what it's all about. Thank you. [5:07] Iran, they are being decimated. They are talking. We are talking now. They want to make a deal. [5:21] Very simply, our military is the greatest in the world by far. Iran is being decimated. Thank you. [5:27] Have I given them a counter proposal? [5:31] How he was walking away and spun all of a sudden and decided he's going to come back. So let me [5:39] just tell you what's on tap. 520, 530 or so. [5:43] We're going to be talking tonight. So that's good. We're going to definitely take that. But [5:53] right now I put up a poll. SV, SV, it's your fault. I had to ask these people, you guys want [5:59] the Tiger Woods. I'm like, no, SV, we can't cover that. So I was like, no, it's just a train wreck, [6:10] literally. Like, how can this guy be the, how can he be the president of the United States? [6:13] Like, how can he be the best driver in the world and the worst driver in the world at the same time? [6:18] I just hope they don't come out with a DUI. Let me set the stage. We used to live in Jupiter. [6:25] Jupiter is a very, very small, small town in almost the most northern part of Palm Beach County. [6:33] And on Jupiter Island, where he lives, Michael Jordan, Celine Dion, Nick Saban, [6:39] and that's where Glenn Beck bought his house. The road. [6:43] There. It's almost impossible to get into an accident. It is literally a one lane each side, [6:51] one lane going north, one lane going south, no place to go. How the hell do you get into an [6:56] accident? And did you swerve to miss a maintenance person on a little grass mower? How the hell do [7:05] you get in an accident on Jupiter Island Road? I think the speed limit is 30 and you're passing [7:12] golf carts. [7:13] So anyway, I'm going to go cue that up and just give me a second. I'll put that. You know, [7:21] I tell you, SBI, I plan these shows and then something invariably happens. So give me a second. [7:28] You know, nearly 60% of people said show it. So give me, give me one second to turn it on. [7:33] Back end of the trailer of the pressure cleaner. [7:53] I told you. [7:55] Listed to the side and then rolled on the driver's door north. [7:59] Passed the truck that had just avoided the crash with the individual driving that Land Rover was [8:06] able to crawl out the passenger door of the car and was identified to be Mr. Tiger Woods. [8:12] Our DUI investigators came to the scene here and Mr. Woods did exemplify signs of impairment. [8:18] I knew it. They did several tests on him. Of course, he did explain the injuries and the [8:23] surgeries that he had. We did take that into account, but they did do some in-depth roadside [8:28] tests. And when it was determined, [8:31] he was placed under under arrest and taken to the Martin County Jail at the Martin County Jail and even on [8:37] scene. We really weren't suspicious of alcohol being involved in this case, and that proved to be true at the [8:42] jail. So Mr. Woods did a breathalyzer test, blew triple zeros. But when it came time for us to ask for a [8:49] urinalysis test, he refused. And so he's been charged with DUI with property damage and refusal to submit to a [8:57] lawful test. In the crash, no one was injured. Mr. Woods did not. [9:01] Uh, [9:01] seemed to be injured at all. And the other gentlemen were not injured. But this is again, this happened a few hours ago. So I've given you the information that I have right here right now. So with that, let me kick it to you for questions. I'll answer what I can answer. So the question is, were they both going the same direction? Yes, both of them were in the 280 block of South Beach Road driving northbound. The the truck pulling a trailer was trying to slow down and pull over. And Mr. Woods was overtaking him at a high rate of speed before he, uh, [9:37] clipped the back end and rolled his vehicle over on the driver's door. So the question is, how many times did he roll over? The answer is he didn't roll completely over. The truck rolled to the driver's door and then just slid northbound up the road. And again, we'll provide you some some photos of that. You mentioned before. So the question is, can I give you a general idea of how fast and the answer is I can't. But I can tell you this. It's a 30 mile an hour speed limit. And when I show you the photos, they kind of speak for themselves. You can see where he clipped the back of the trailer. You can see where he rolled. And then as he decelerates, he's able to roll over. And he's able to roll over. And he's able to roll over. And he's able to roll over. And he's able to roll over. And he's able to roll over. And he's able to roll over. And he's able to roll over. [10:17] sliding down on the driver's door of the vehicle, you can see that he slid for a pretty decent [10:22] space before he came to a stop. Yes, sir. So the question was, was he cooperative with us? [10:36] The answer was he is cooperative, but he was not trying to incriminate himself. So he was [10:41] careful in what he said and didn't say. And when it came time again for the test, the urine test [10:46] at the jail, he stopped that. Let me go back to one thing. There is a Florida state statute that [10:51] requires us to keep people incarcerated for at least eight hours posted to UIRS. So he's in our [10:56] jail. He will be there for at least eight hours from three o'clock for at least eight hours, [11:02] and then he'll be released on bond if he posts bond. So the question is injuries to the driver [11:12] pulling the pressure washer. The answer is no injuries to him. He was fine, thankfully. [11:22] The question is breathalyzer was zero. It's a urine test. The answer is yes. So on scene, [11:27] we had DRE experts evaluating him, and they believed from on scene that he was not impaired [11:32] on alcohol. [11:33] They believe that he was not impaired on alcohol. [11:33] They believe that he was not impaired on alcohol. [11:33] They believe it was some type of medication or drug. And again, at the jail, he cooperated [11:38] with the urine, or I'm sorry, he cooperated with the breathalyzer, and then the urine he wanted [11:41] no part of. So the question will, will there be any follow-up testing? The answer is no. He has [11:52] a right to refuse that test. There is a Florida statute, which he will be charged with for [11:58] refusing to take that test, but we will never get definitive results as to what he was impaired [12:03] on at the time of the crash. The question is, is it a foul? The answer is no. Both charges are [12:11] misdemeanor charges. The question is, is he getting preferential treatment in the jail because [12:19] of who he is? Let me go back to the simplicity of this. We're the sheriff's office. We know we [12:25] arrested a high-profile figure. I'm not trying to dramatize, but it doesn't matter who you are. [12:28] If you break the law, we're going to follow the law. That's a really easy path to take. Now, [12:32] as far as being in the jail, we're going to make sure he's safe. We're not going to put him in [12:35] general population. He's not going to be with other inmates that could hurt him or try to [12:39] capitalize on what he did. He'll pay the price, but he's not going to pay the price by getting [12:43] punished in jail. The question is, [12:49] was there any drugs or medication in the car? The answer is no, there was not. The question is, [12:55] was he injured? The answer is no, he was not injured. Again, he was lethargic on scene, [12:59] but that we believe was because of what he was intoxicated on. The question is, [13:06] anyone else in the car? The answer is no, he was alone in the car. The question is, [13:12] was he wearing a seatbelt? The answer is I don't know. I'm not sure. We know he crawled out of the [13:17] passenger door prior to law enforcement arrival. We can determine that based on looking at the car. [13:23] I just don't know the answer. [13:31] Was anyone else injured because of the rollover crash? And the answer is thankfully no. This is [13:35] a small two-lane road. Again, I'm going to show you the photos. Had there been somebody moving in [13:39] the opposite direction, we would not be having a conversation saying there was no injuries. This [13:44] could have been a lot worse. Is that all? Thank you all. Thank you. [13:54] I swear, SV, I swear I didn't have any notification. Nobody told me what was being [14:01] said, but I told you it's a two-lane road. It's 30 miles an hour, just what the sheriff said. [14:08] And I said, he must have hit someone mowing the lawn or something. And that's exactly what it was. [14:17] And like somebody said in the chat, it's just crazy. He obviously is on painkillers. He's [14:23] obviously, that's what his addiction is. If you blew zero on the breathalyzer and you had no [14:29] alcohol, then that's what he's doing, man. He's buzzed on some sort of opiates. He's probably [14:35] still in a lot of pain from the previous accident. [14:38] And you would think with the amount of money he has, dude, get a driver. [14:43] I'm a driver. [14:44] Get a driver. I mean, you're talking in that area, on that one strip. I mean, houses are 17, [14:51] 20, $40 million homes right there on the water. And it would be very simple just to say, listen, [14:58] and his restaurant, just so you guys know, his restaurant is about two miles away from where he [15:05] lives. So I don't know if he was golfing or if he was heading. [15:08] Over to the restaurant. But it's not like you don't need a driver. I mean, [15:13] Jupiter is a very sleepy town. And Jupiter Island is even more sleepy than Jupiter itself. And so [15:21] when we lived in Jupiter, we would go into different restaurants. And at one point in time, [15:25] we saw Jimmy Buffett. And they're just sitting there eating dinner at these little places [15:29] by the beach. It's crazy that he doesn't have his own driver. It's absolutely crazy. So [15:36] I wasn't good. I saw somebody goes, [15:38] I don't even care, blah, blah, blah. Unfortunately, SV told me about this. And then 60 or 65% of the [15:47] people said they wanted to hear that press conference. That's why. I'm a man of the people. [15:52] The people voted. It was an American poll. And I just went with it. In any event, we're not going [15:59] to miss President Trump. He doesn't come up for, no, he's not supposed to come up for another 14 [16:04] minutes, but he may come up earlier. Earlier when he, when he, thanks SV. [16:08] When he got off the plane, he talked about, you know, what's going on with the debacle of a bill [16:15] that the, that the Senate put over. It's not going to pass. He's going to sign an executive order. If [16:20] it's up when I, by the time he comes on, I'll show it to you. But obviously there's a lot going on [16:26] in the background. So while we're waiting for him at CPAC, there's been a number of speakers that I [16:32] don't want to have nothing to do with, but there's a couple of speakers that I think you guys may [16:36] want to hear. And so one of those speakers, [16:38] was Tom Homan. So I have his speech from CPAC yesterday to show you. [16:48] You all are rowdy out there. How's it going so far? Amazing. Well, I get, okay, Tom, [17:01] I think they love you here. Do you all love Tom Homan? [17:09] How about a God bless President Donald J. Trump. [17:26] Okay. All right. Let's get going now. Cause we have a lot to talk about Tom. [17:31] It's really an honor to be with you. [17:32] No, I'm happy to be here. [17:34] And from the bottom of my heart, like we appreciate you so much for all you're doing [17:39] for President Trump and our country. So let's get right to it. [17:44] And just, Marco Rubio has nothing on me. I got more jobs than he does. [17:48] I was going to say, how many jobs do you have right now? Cause apparently now you're [17:52] handling the airports too. [17:54] Look, the brave men and women vice are stepping up to help secure the airports with the people [18:00] that left TSA, the people that are calling in. Cause they got to go get a job to feed their [18:05] families. Right. [18:05] We got to find a job to feed their families. We got to find a job to feed their families. We got to [18:06] fill those gaps because the security airport's important. We got a heightened threat posture [18:10] right now. We need to make sure those airports are secure. We need to help Americans get through [18:13] those lines. And if we see any illegal activity in the airports, we're going to make arrests. [18:17] Amen. Let me, but I got to ask you, there's this guy, his name is wait, [18:24] Hakeem Jeffries. Do you all know who he is? [18:27] Okay. And he said that these ICE agents, that they're going to shoot people in the airport. [18:32] I mean, are you serious? Is this seriously, like this is, this is an actual leader of the [18:38] crab party. Yeah. He's the joke, but he's like, and I say that because of this reason, [18:46] he's the same one that wants mass taken off. Right. Right. Well, he continues to terrorize [18:51] the public, given the false sense of ice or Nazi secret police, the racist. So because of his [18:57] rhetoric, treachery of 8,000%, that's why they're wearing a mask. So if you want the mask off, [19:04] stop, you know, stop the hateful rhetoric against ICE officers that increases the threat. [19:09] So, you know, right now they're demanding mask off. That's a non-starter. We're not even talking [19:14] about it because until you stop your language, we're not taking the mask off. [19:21] You are talking to ICE agents every single day. What's their morale? How are they feeling? I mean, [19:26] they they're getting assaulted. They've been attacked. Uh, you know, they're going after [19:30] their families. I mean, how is it right now to be an ICE agent in America? [19:35] The morale is still high because they work for a great president, greatest president, my lifetime. [19:40] And plus they get to do the job they want to do. I mean, [19:43] for four years, they couldn't enforce immigration law. Same with the men and women of the board, [19:47] which are who I love. When they weren't able to enforce the law, they wanted to enforce the law, [19:50] right? So now they're able to uphold the old taste tag. They're forcing immigration law. [19:54] Look, they're overworked, overworked tremendously, but you know what? Every day they get up and put [20:00] that cap on our vest on, come to work to protect America. I love each and every one of them. And [20:04] I promised the men and women of the board, which are on ICE. I came back twice from retirement. [20:07] My wife's still pissed off, but I tell you what, I will have their backs to the day I die because [20:13] they're the finest 1% of this country. [20:14] I want to say, can we give literally a round of applause to Mrs. Homan and the family [20:23] who has supported Tom Homan and allowing him and saying, yes, [20:28] go back and serve this great country and this great president. [20:34] And to every spouse and child of ICE and look, the threats are up 8,000%. Wives, [20:41] spouses and children are being doxxed. They're being followed to school. Death threats against [20:45] their spouses and children are a real thing. So men and women of ICE and board, which will make [20:50] a hell of a sacrifice. [20:51] But so don't their families to a shout out to all the families of ICE and board, so God bless you. [20:56] President Trump has so many achievements. I mean, [21:04] so many achievements. What he's been able to do in one year is truly remarkable. [21:09] And you're in that room with him. You're in the oval office. You're advising him every single day. [21:14] What is he telling you? [21:15] He's after in hell. I mean, look, [21:19] bottom line is when he called me to come back the second time, he says, I want you to do three [21:23] things. I want you to secure the border. I want you to run a mass deportation operation. I want you to [21:28] these missing children right right today we had the most secure border in the history of this [21:34] nation today let's break that down further before we go into the other two here so on the securing [21:43] the border it is remark okay compare biden years i'm not hearing a boo when i say joe biden people [21:50] come on participation here joe biden years when it comes to the border who came through that border [21:58] and now under president donald trump what has happened well over 10.5 million illegal [22:04] aliens came to the border that we know of yeah we don't know the unknown gotaways but we also [22:08] have 2.1 million known gotaways captured on video drone traffic or sensor traffic [22:13] why did 2.1 million people pay more to the cartels to get away why didn't they pay less [22:19] turn themselves into border patrol get released in 24 hours get a free airline ticket to the city [22:24] your choice get a free hotel room get three meals a day get free medical care why did 2.1 million [22:29] people pay more not to take advantage of that giveaway program that's just scared the hell [22:33] out of all of you because it's [22:34] a hell out of me yeah well thank god we got president trump in the oval office because [22:37] we're removing thousands of these national security threats with the help of the fbi and [22:41] the intelligence community but we got a lot more to find and you've got under joe biden 12 13 000 [22:47] a day you know that was yesterday what was it 121 and not one was released wow now 12 000 to 121 [22:55] and that is just in one day one day when you were talking about a month how much would have been [23:01] under joe biden in a month oh it was 180 000 [23:06] 1100 000 a day you think that uh yeah it is an advantage you have now yeah core affects [23:09] the ones man 2 million jobs I mean look they they hit almost 2 million uh people come to the [23:13] board in just one year look what happened on the border was the national s biggest national [23:19] security failure I've ever seen the US government and people need to be held accountable we [23:22] can't forget what they did to this country we need to hold people accountable and we're [23:27] in this great state of texas it's so remarkable I mean talk about they're at the on the front [23:35] line and they're actually working with the federal government to make sure that we can secure our border check out [23:35] that was really a little more terrifying because it was a political thing and the 24 hours are there [23:35] apart or not it's a big deal to organize it with the u.s. government we want to leave it to be free for our [23:36] that we can secure our border. [23:37] Talk about that relationship with the state. [23:39] Look, I have a close relationship with Governor Abbott. [23:43] Like him or love him, [23:45] he, under the Biden administration, [23:47] stood up and secured the Texas border as best he could. [23:50] He, look, and everybody says, [23:52] well, you got Texas DPS [23:54] and you got the National Guard doing something, [23:57] not their job. [23:57] Let me tell you what Governor Abbott did. [23:59] By every illegal alien, they arrested. [24:02] Les Fenton all got in this country, killed Americans. [24:05] No, no Inspector Terrence got through [24:07] because everybody was vetted properly, [24:08] unlike the last, you know, [24:09] Biden administration said they vetted everybody. [24:10] No, they didn't. [24:11] They didn't properly vet them. [24:13] Governor Abbott did. [24:13] The DPS, the Texas DPS, the Texas National Guard, [24:16] God bless you. [24:17] America loves you [24:18] because you set the example for the entire nation. [24:24] And so moving into self, on this deportation, [24:27] you were in charge, as the president said, [24:29] okay, Tom, I need you to implement [24:31] this mass deportation program. [24:33] Give us an update on that. [24:35] I looked at the numbers this morning. [24:36] Since he'd been in the Oval Office, [24:38] we're about 827,000 deportations. [24:41] And that beats any record. [24:43] Under Obama, we had, [24:45] I actually got an award from President Obama [24:47] for record deportations. [24:49] They forgot about that. [24:51] Anyways, the record was 409,000. [24:53] Right. [24:54] We beat that. [24:54] We almost doubled it. [24:56] And, you know, we're going to continue. [24:57] We just hired 10,000 more deportation officers, [25:00] a few thousand more to come. [25:01] But if you think numbers were good last year, [25:04] wait till this year. [25:05] We've got a lot more resources on the streets. [25:07] We're going to have a lot more resources on the streets. [25:08] Which brings us to another issue. [25:09] I see there's a lot of language out there [25:11] that President Trump's backing off a mass deportation. [25:14] No, he's not. [25:15] Look, people are saying I'm not serious about deportations. [25:18] I read this lately. [25:19] I've deported, I've overseen more deportations [25:22] than any man since the Eisenhower administration. [25:25] Tom Holman is now weak on deportation. [25:30] As a matter of fact, my chief of staff, who you met, [25:32] she came out to me and said, [25:33] she looked at the Eisenhower number. [25:34] Your number's actually better. [25:36] So, look, President Trump's serious about it, [25:37] but he's going to do it in a smart way. [25:39] Look, we've got sanctuary cities put in a roadblock. [25:41] You've got Congress wants to abolish [25:43] it's less efficient than it could be, [25:47] but I talked to Todd Blanche an hour ago. [25:50] We're suing the hell out of sanctuary cities. [25:52] We'll get the numbers we need. [25:54] There's a phenomenon also happening with self-deportation. [26:01] So, we also have that opportunity of people saying, [26:03] okay, you're going to get paid a certain amount of money [26:05] and we can facilitate and get you out of the country. [26:08] How effective has that program been? [26:10] It's been real good, and the numbers there are high, [26:13] but the ones we're leaving on their own, [26:15] and CBP has an ability to track [26:16] when they... [26:17] when they log in down on the border. [26:19] Look, we're over 2 million self-removals, [26:21] and the reason that is because they know ICE is out there. [26:25] There's no free zone anymore. [26:27] Right. [26:27] You enter this country illegally. [26:28] If you're in this country illegally, we're looking for you. [26:30] Yeah. [26:31] We're going to find you. [26:32] We're going to deport you. [26:32] And that message... [26:34] ICE activities, people want to attack ICE. [26:36] One of the reasons we have the most secure border in history [26:38] of this nation is because of the great work of the Border Patrol [26:41] and President Trump's leadership, [26:42] but it's because people are seeing what ICE is doing [26:44] across the country, and they're saying, hell no. [26:46] I don't want to give my life savings to the criminal cartel [26:49] to get the border and not be released, [26:51] and if I happen to get by the Border Patrol, [26:54] there's no free zone anymore. [26:55] ICE is looking for it. [26:55] Under the Biden administration, he told ICE, [26:58] you can't arrest an illegal alien unless he's convicted [27:00] of a serious offense. [27:02] President Trump says get all. [27:04] Get them all, and that's what we're doing. [27:05] Get them all. [27:07] And I think one of the effects of securing the border, [27:11] one of the effects of having ICE on the streets [27:14] is making our cities more safe. [27:16] There's no question. [27:18] We're seeing murder rates going down in these cities. [27:20] I mean, what's your sense in what ICE has been able to do [27:24] to identify these gang members, these illegal aliens [27:28] who are criminals in our country, [27:30] that we've seen these tragic stories of women being raped, [27:34] young women being killed? [27:36] Tell us about that. [27:37] What's the impact in these cities, in our communities, [27:40] knowing that ICE has taken out a lot of these illegal aliens [27:45] who are criminals? [27:46] Well, it's a significant, like, if you look at, [27:48] let's just say 825,000, we average between 60% and 70% [27:52] of those we arrest are criminals. [27:54] You're talking over half a million public safety threats [27:57] that we kicked out of this country. [27:59] That's going to have a significant impact. [28:00] That's amazing. [28:00] And that's why we say we'll prioritize it. [28:05] And I want the folks to know, just [28:07] because we say we're prioritizing the public safety threats [28:10] and national security threats doesn't mean we're not looking [28:12] for everybody else, and that's why I said right now the number [28:14] is about 62% criminal, the other 38% are non-criminals. [28:18] We're going to force it. [28:18] I'm not going to force immigration law. [28:19] I apologize. [28:20] But if you've got a child rapist here and an illegal alien here, [28:24] you're going to get this guy first. [28:25] But you're not going to forget about this guy. [28:27] You're going to get him, too, but it's just [28:28] a matter of who you get first. [28:29] But I want to be clear. [28:30] The instructions to ICE is to enforce immigration law. [28:33] You find an illegal alien, you're going to arrest him. [28:35] If he's not a criminal, I don't care, you're going to arrest him. [28:38] We find him, we're going to arrest him, we're going to deport him. [28:40] The other piece of this are the missing children. [28:48] And I know for us at CPAC, we have the CPAC Center for Combating Human Trafficking. [28:53] you know we've talked to victims we've had the engaging with them understanding the [29:00] atrocities and you you hear about these rape trees in arizona where they bring over the cartels [29:07] bring over these young women who are then raped in places in arizona they're sex trafficked they're [29:13] sexually assaulted i mean it's it's truly uh it's horrific to watch what has happened and what was [29:20] allowed to happen under the biden years tell us about this mission of finding the missing children [29:26] well like i said the first conversation when the president called me to come back out of retirement [29:29] second time he gave me those three things and i was honest we've got the most secure board in [29:33] history i told the president we'll do that because the men who are in the border patrol know how to [29:37] do it they did it in trump 45 so i'll take that's easy but i'm not taking credit for secure border [29:42] i'm giving the credit to the men and women wearing that green uniform in that blue uniform who did [29:46] their job because they're allowed to do their job so thank good thank god for the united states [29:50] border patrol [29:50] massive deportation i just said we've got record number of arrest deportation we're going to do a [29:57] lot more because we just hired a lot more people the children i was honest with the president i [30:02] said that's the hardest one i says because to find people like you all in the audience you own a car [30:08] you own a home you're paying bills you got a credit card we know how to find you right right [30:13] child don't a child don't please don't try to find me tom just but children don't have that [30:18] digital footprint explain to the president they don't have the digital footprint so we got to [30:22] count on the digital footprint [30:24] of who they were released to these unvetted sponsors and when we started this operation we [30:29] we quickly found out number one they weren't vetted property number two the addresses were [30:33] never verified that's right we're going to address at our supermarkets and parking lots [30:37] and city parks so the men and women of ice and fbi have been busting their butt trying to find [30:44] these kids and they've they've found right around 145,000 missing children and i believe and that's [30:52] And let me say, son, that's 145,000 missing children that the last administration lost [30:59] and weren't even looking for. [31:01] And did we rescue them all? [31:03] Look, some of these children were with their parents just hiding out. [31:06] But many, too many, were victims of sex trafficking, being sold for sex, and being in forced labor. [31:12] President Trump's leadership literally saved thousands of young children's lives, and we're not done. [31:17] But I have promised the president, the president promises the American people, [31:22] we'll do everything we can to run down every lead. [31:24] And when we finish the leads, we'll do it again. [31:27] Until the last day of this administration, you got my word, [31:30] we'll not give up in this effort to find every one of them. [31:40] And then, you know, when you go back to this, I remember hearing stories about, [31:45] and when I was at the White House, that they would explain, [31:48] they would literally, the kids would have the same address. [31:50] So they would send like 200 kids to the same address, to the same, quote, unquote, [31:55] space. [31:55] Then they weren't doing DNA testing either. [31:58] So really, I mean, what, I just can't imagine, like, [32:02] I can't understand how the Biden administration just wouldn't get that right. [32:06] I don't understand it either. [32:07] I mean, people want to say that the Trump administration, [32:10] you know, are inhumane and we're racist, right? [32:13] They call me a racist, right? [32:14] Thank you very much. [32:17] A lot of rich people in this audience. [32:19] I'm looking left, right, center, all the way in the back. [32:23] They're rich, too. [32:23] But I'm thrilled to be back with some, [32:27] many friends and partners, leaders and innovators here [32:30] at the Future Investment Initiative. [32:33] And it's a really great group of people, [32:36] very smart group of people. [32:38] They know what's happening in the world. [32:40] It's my second address to the conference as president of the United States. [32:45] And it's my honor to be here. [32:46] Thank you very much. [32:49] As you know, we're gathered at a moment of bold action, [32:52] an historic decision to make America and our allies safer and stronger, [32:57] more prosperous, more successful, [32:58] than ever before. [33:00] That's what's happening. [33:02] Tonight, we're closer than ever to the rise of the Middle East [33:08] that is finally free at last from Iranian terror, [33:12] aggression, and nuclear blackmail. [33:15] That's what's happened. [33:16] It was nuclear blackmail for years and years. [33:20] And beyond that, it was blackmail, period. [33:23] Under my leadership, America is ending the threat posed by this radical regime, [33:30] decimating Iran's capability. [33:32] We have the most powerful military in the world. [33:40] By far, I built it in my first term. [33:43] Remember, I said a trillion dollars. [33:45] They also, what do you mean a trillion dollars? [33:46] A trillion dollars. [33:48] Every year, another trillion, the next, another trillion. [33:52] We have the best people. [33:54] We have, by far, the best equipment. [33:57] We have weapons that nobody's ever seen before. [34:00] We have weapons that nobody even knows about, [34:03] except for a few of us. [34:04] For 47 years, Iran has been known as the bully of the Middle East, [34:09] but they are not the bully any longer. [34:12] They're on the run. [34:21] Last June, America's armed forces obliterated Iran's key nuclear facilities [34:26] in one of the most spectacular military actions of all time. [34:30] Nobody has ever seen anything like it. [34:32] In the dead of night, no moon, one o'clock in the morning, [34:37] we went in. [34:39] It was called Operation Midnight Hammer. [34:42] And every single one, [34:44] every single one of those bombs hit their mark. [34:47] Air shafts. [34:48] They will never build an air shaft again, I promise you that. [34:51] They went right down that granite mountain through air shafts. [34:55] Most incredible technology you've ever seen, [34:57] that a thing like that. [34:58] And it was decimation, it was obliteration. [35:02] One of the networks said, well, maybe it wasn't that bad. [35:04] It was that bad. [35:05] Turned out to be even more than we thought. [35:10] But after that attack, the Iranian lunatics refused to cease their pursuit of nuclear weapons. [35:16] And I have to say, before that, Barack Hussein Obama, [35:20] did you ever hear of Barack Hussein Obama? [35:22] He had the Iran nuclear deal. [35:24] He went to Iran, he paid him. [35:26] Remember, he sent two 757, Boeing 757 jetliners. [35:32] They took the seats out and they piled it with cash, like 1.7 billion of cash. [35:38] That's when I realized the presidency is very powerful. [35:41] The presidency is a very powerful thing when you can do that. [35:45] I haven't done that yet. [35:46] I haven't found a reason to do that yet, but that's big. [35:48] 1.7 billion in cash. [35:51] You know, there wasn't a bank in D.C., Virginia or Maryland that had any money after that disaster. [35:58] But they sent the cash to Iran. [36:01] But more importantly, they they signed an agreement, the Iran nuclear deal, which if I didn't terminate it in my first term, I terminated it almost immediately. [36:11] If I didn't terminate it, they would have had a nuclear weapon long ago and they would have used it on the Middle East, Israel and the Middle East. [36:18] And, you know, the Middle East. [36:20] Because when you look at all the. [36:22] Missiles that got fired, you had 1,500 missiles shot at it. [36:25] They didn't think they were going to have any Saudi Arabia didn't expect to have. [36:30] I mean, we have the most powerful Saudis. [36:33] Oh, yes, sir. [36:35] You are so powerful. [36:36] But yes, sir, you didn't expect any missiles going to Saudi Arabia. [36:39] They didn't expect them in Qatar. [36:41] They didn't expect him in Kuwait and Bahrain. [36:45] The missile rained down on you. [36:47] They were going to hit you with nuclear or whatever they had. [36:50] But we stopped it. [36:51] We stopped it. [36:52] We stopped it with him. [36:54] And then it was a big. [36:55] Moment also in my first administration when I took out Soleimani and a lot of people think that might have been the biggest thing of all, because he was a mad genius. [37:05] He was a vicious, horrible human being, but he was a great general and a great leader. [37:11] If you call if you define a leader in a certain way, very, very powerful leader. [37:17] In fact, he was so powerful that I really think that the leadership of Iran was extremely happy when I took him out. [37:25] But they don't say that. [37:26] But nobody's going to be asking him anymore. [37:27] Because they're not here either. [37:31] But getting the termination and terminating the Iran nuclear deal that was done by Biden and Obama, I would say mostly Obama. [37:43] Actually, I don't think Biden knew where he was then, too. [37:47] He had no idea. [37:48] If you said to him, the Iran nuclear, what's that? [37:52] But there was four years of hell we had with this guy as our leader, I'll tell you. [37:58] And then we hit him with the B-2 bomber. [38:00] So we did it twice. [38:01] But if they would have had a nuclear weapon, it would have all. [38:03] A whole big deal. [38:04] And I wouldn't be here right now. [38:05] And probably you guys wouldn't be too happy. [38:08] You might be in an area who knows where you would have been. [38:11] But we did it twice. [38:13] And I think I really believe we saved the Middle East. [38:16] We saved not just Israel. [38:18] We saved the Middle East. [38:20] And it was proven by all those rockets that fired down upon you. [38:23] Saudi Arabia got hit a lot. [38:26] You all got hit and nobody expected any missiles to be wasted. [38:31] You would have thought they were only going at Israel. [38:33] They weren't as president of the United States. [38:35] They would never allow the world's number one state sponsor of terror to obtain a nuclear weapon. [38:40] I said that for a long time and I didn't. [38:44] To defend America and our allies over the past 27 days, the U.S. [38:48] Armed Forces, most powerful in the world, have been annihilating Iran's military capacity with force, precision, skill like the world has never seen. [38:59] It was violence, actually, really violence. [39:04] We're crushing Iran's currently as we speak. [39:07] I just looked. [39:08] We had another. [39:08] Big day. [39:09] We hit them. [39:10] They don't know what's happening. [39:12] Remember this. [39:14] They lied about three days ago. [39:16] I said, yeah, we're negotiating with this. [39:17] We are not negotiating. [39:20] They're being hit so hard. [39:22] Anybody would be negotiating. [39:25] They are negotiating. [39:26] They're begging to make a deal. [39:28] They're begging to make a deal. [39:29] Turned out I was right. [39:30] They were negotiating, which they admitted two days later. [39:34] And in order to make up for their misstatement, they said, we're going to send you eight ships. [39:42] Of oil and the following day, I saw on this is two days ago, I saw on one of the networks very strange. [39:50] There were eight ships of oil coming out of Iran, and then they actually said, we're going to add an extra two, and they added an extra two. [39:59] So we had ten ships, and then people realized we were actually negotiating. [40:03] We're negotiating now and be great if we could do something, but they have to open it up. [40:07] They have to open up the strait of Trump. [40:12] I mean, harmless. [40:16] Excuse me. [40:17] I'm so sorry. [40:20] Such a terrible mistake. [40:22] Fake news will say he accidentally said now there's no accidents with me. [40:26] Not too many. [40:29] If there were, would have a major story. [40:32] Well, we had that with the Gulf of Mexico. [40:35] Remember the Gulf of Mexico? [40:37] And one day I said, why is it the Gulf of Mexico? [40:39] We have 92% of the area around it. [40:43] They have 8%, really less than 8%. [40:45] But for 350 years, it was good. [40:47] You know, they were there 100 years longer than us. [40:50] Mexico. [40:51] They're at 350. [40:52] We're at 250. [40:54] And I said, I've set off and asked myself, why don't we call it the Gulf of Mexico? [40:59] It seems like we dominate. [41:00] Well, when I checked, it was more than 92%. [41:04] So I announced I wouldn't say Mexico was thrilled, but I announced that from now on, the Gulf of Mexico is going to be called the Gulf of America. [41:16] And it took about one hour and it was done. [41:18] Everybody I mean, the president called me. [41:20] She's really a nice person, too. [41:22] I like her a lot. [41:23] She called up. [41:24] She's the most beautiful woman. [41:25] She's a very elegant woman, has a beautiful, beautiful voice. [41:28] She goes, President, President, President, tell me this is not so. [41:34] No, no, it's so. [41:38] And then Google Maps changed it. [41:40] We won the court case in about one hour and Google Maps changed the name and it's now the Gulf of America, which it should be in all fairness. [41:49] We're crushing Iran's weapons stockpiles, destroying their missiles and drone factories at levels nobody ever thought was possible. [41:57] We're crushing Iran's weapons stockpiles, destroying their missiles and drone factories at levels nobody ever thought was possible. [41:58] And turning their defense industrial base into nothing. [42:03] Iran's Navy is gone. [42:06] It's all sunk at the bottom of the Gulf and elsewhere. [42:11] Did you see the attack submarine that we have one after one of their boats? [42:14] It was called the Soleimani. [42:16] It was the pride of their fleet. [42:19] But this attack submarine goes like 60 miles an hour. [42:22] It's a I'd never saw anything. [42:24] And it caught them in about two minutes. [42:27] And that was the end of the Soleimani. [42:29] Now, then they're 100% dead. [42:31] They have 22 mine droppers. [42:34] They go on mine droppers and the mine droppers, 22, all 22 are gone. [42:38] So I guess they can drop mines, but they're going to have to take them out by a rowboat because they don't have any boats. [42:43] Their air force is dead. [42:45] Totally, completely dead. [42:46] It's out of business. [42:47] No planes left at all. [42:50] Their anti aircraft and communications capabilities are totally dismantled and dead. [42:57] And their leaders are all dead. [42:59] Other than that, I think they're doing quite well. [43:04] No, their leaders are dead. [43:06] Their supreme leader is no longer supreme. [43:09] He's dead. [43:11] Son is either dead or in very bad shape because nobody's heard from him. [43:17] I think he says, just keep me out of this. [43:20] This is the only country where nobody wants to lead. [43:23] There's nobody who would like to lead Iran. [43:26] Please raise your hand. [43:27] A big audience of just saying, who would like to be our leader? [43:32] Dead silence. [43:33] Nobody wants to. [43:35] Now we have an amazing military. [43:36] We have the greatest intelligence apparatus that anybody's ever seen. [43:40] We can tell you everything that's going on. [43:41] We know everything that's going on. [43:43] We're achieving each and every one of the military objectives. [43:47] Four weeks ago, four weeks ago, and we're doing it. [43:54] We're really we're not into it very long. [43:57] We wouldn't have thought we would have been it. [43:58] We knew it was going to be easy. [44:00] We call it a military operation. [44:02] We don't call it a war. [44:03] We call it a military. [44:05] We don't call it a war. [44:06] We call it a military operation. [44:08] We're very disappointed, by the way, with NATO. [44:10] They didn't come to our aid. [44:13] I didn't try to. [44:13] I didn't try too hard, actually, you know, because I wanted to prove a point. [44:17] I didn't sell. [44:18] They probably think I'm a lousy salesman. [44:20] You know, they said I said, Would you like to help us to President of France? [44:25] Macron, nice guy. [44:26] He is a nice guy. [44:32] That's not me. [44:33] That's the feed before we start. [44:36] And UK, our longest ally. [44:39] You know, nobody ever thought this was possible. [44:42] I said to the Prime Minister, I said, Mr. [44:45] Prime Minister, we'd like you have two aircraft carriers. [44:49] Little ones. [44:49] They're not very good. [44:51] I know they don't go fast and I know they don't work very well, but we could probably use them maybe for helicopters. [44:57] And they said, Yes. [44:59] And they said, Yes. [45:01] Oh, yes, we are preparing them. [45:11] We will be there. [45:13] This is NATO. [45:14] And I've always said there's a paper tiger. [45:17] And I always said we help NATO, but they'll never help us. [45:21] And if the big one ever happened and I don't think it will. [45:25] But if the big one ever happened. [45:27] I guarantee you they wouldn't be there. [45:30] And we learned from that. [45:31] And remember what I said, because they made a big mistake. [45:34] They were not there. [45:36] The Chancellor of Germany. [45:37] These are all friends of mine. [45:38] Friedrich, the Chancellor of Germany. [45:41] He said this is not our war. [45:43] We have nothing to do. [45:44] Well, Ukraine's not our war, but we help them. [45:48] I wouldn't have had a help if I were president. [45:50] That war would have never happened. [45:51] But we had a man who of a very is extreme, never good. [45:56] Hatred is a bad thing when you're trying to settle a war. [46:00] I want to thank the entire kingdom of Saudi Arabia. [46:03] Been very helpful, unlike NATO. [46:06] Saudi Arabia fought, Qatar fought, UAE fought, Bahrain fought. [46:12] And Kuwait fought, even though they shot down three of our planes [46:14] with the finest missiles. [46:19] We could have done without that. [46:22] They didn't know they were our planes. [46:25] They wasted three great Patriot missiles. [46:28] And you have to say there's nothing like these Patriots. [46:31] You know, we had an attack of 101 a few days ago. [46:35] A hundred and one missiles shot at a very valuable thing [46:40] that we had floating on the water, namely an aircraft carrier, [46:44] biggest in the world. [46:46] And they were shot, 101, going 2,500 miles an hour. [46:52] And out of the 101 missiles shot, [46:54] 101 missiles were shot down and spread out all over the city. [47:01] Pretty amazing. [47:04] That's called incredible technology, right, Steve? [47:08] That's called great technology. [47:09] Think of it, 101 missiles going 2,500 miles an hour. [47:12] You don't have a lot of time. [47:15] And these aren't necessarily weightlifting shoulders. [47:18] These are very smart people doing that. [47:21] And I watched them. [47:22] I watched their performance. [47:24] Missiles launched, missiles launched. [47:26] It's almost like they're bored by it. [47:27] They have, like, nine seconds ahead of FIFA, [47:30] the most powerful man in sports. [47:32] Johnny, Johnny, you never choked, right? [47:36] These guys can't choke, but they're very smart. [47:38] High IQs. [47:39] We need high IQs. [47:40] We have too many low IQ people. [47:42] But what happened is, you have to see it. [47:45] It's very cool. [47:46] Missiles launched, missiles launched, missiles launching. [47:50] They're launching. [47:50] Okay, we're ready. [47:52] Missile, 101 missiles coming at them. [47:55] All right, we have to have, like, 11 seconds [47:58] to make a determination. [48:00] And then at seven seconds, fire, fire, fire. [48:06] It's the most unbelievable thing. [48:08] Fire, boom, fire, boom. [48:10] One at a time. [48:11] Just knock. [48:11] Knocked them out like they were nothing. [48:13] Genius. [48:13] It's, like, unbelievable. [48:16] I mean, to think the—and we have the technology nobody has. [48:19] Look at what happened in Venezuela. [48:21] They had other equipment, not ours. [48:23] They made the mistake of using other equipment. [48:25] Didn't work too well. [48:27] And Venezuela was, you know, it took 45 minutes. [48:31] It was a 45-minute war. [48:32] This one's bigger. [48:34] This one's bigger. [48:35] It's a bigger country, a lot more powerful. [48:39] It's a lot more powerful, but it's not powerful anymore. [48:42] Within two days, I think, the damage was done. [48:47] But now it's really done. [48:48] Now we're just going after targets. [48:49] And again, they have no anti-aircraft, [48:52] so we're just floating over the top, [48:53] looking for whatever we want. [48:55] And we're hitting it, and we have another 3,554 targets left. [49:02] And that'll be done pretty quickly. [49:04] And then, you know, at some point, [49:05] we're going to have to determine what we do. [49:08] But they have—they've never seen anything like it. [49:12] When we hit Venezuela, [49:14] and, you know, that's a very strong military country. [49:18] They have soldiers. [49:19] If you've ever been there, been there, [49:20] they have a lot of soldiers walking around all over the place. [49:23] Everyone's a soldier, very military kind of a place. [49:27] And the general, there was a general, [49:29] a professional general, really good. [49:31] And he said, we were all set for him. [49:33] We knew there was a problem when we noticed [49:35] at 1 o'clock in the morning, every 32 seconds, [49:38] another airplane, a very fast plane, [49:41] was coming off the deck of an aircraft carrier. [49:44] That's actually the first thing we saw. [49:46] The biggest aircraft carrier in the world. [49:48] And every 32 seconds, vroom, vroom, vroom. [49:52] And it was 1 o'clock in the morning. [49:53] So we said, okay, I think we're in trouble. [49:56] But they were ready for us, Johnny. [49:59] And we were ready. He said, we were ready. [50:01] And then they hit us. [50:03] And they came from 17 different angles. [50:05] They were here. They were there. [50:07] We ran for our lives. It was over. [50:11] And it was over. [50:13] And then we took this guy who was a very bad guy. [50:16] And within literally minutes, he was in the back [50:18] of a helicopter in a house that was in a big military base [50:24] with thousands and thousands of soldiers. [50:27] The house was all steel with steel doors, steel everything. [50:30] They had the small steel doors, the big storage. [50:32] We were equipped for anything. [50:34] Even the big, big one would have been opened within 30 seconds. [50:37] They walked in with blow torches. [50:40] And within minutes, he was out of the house, [50:43] being thrown into the helicopter, sailing away. [50:46] And the soldiers just looked, bye, bye. [50:50] Enjoy your trip, sir. [50:52] It was amazing. It was an amazing. [50:54] But this is more amazing, what's happening now, [50:56] because we took a very strong country. [50:58] I could see, yes, sir, the problem you would have had. [51:01] I mean, this was not a weak country. [51:03] This was a strong country. [51:04] They had over 10,000 missiles that they accumulated [51:07] since October 2nd, if you think. [51:10] Since the B-2s. [51:12] Really, since the B-2s, they accumulated them [51:15] in a matter of months, six months. [51:19] But they had well over 10,000. [51:21] They had rocket launchers. [51:22] You know, rocket launchers are more important than the rockets. [51:25] Because you take a rocket launcher out, that's the end of that. [51:28] People think you can take those big rockets [51:30] and throw them out your window, like when you were a child [51:32] with the paper airplanes. [51:33] You say, it doesn't work that way. [51:35] You need those launchers. [51:36] And we knocked out 97% of the launchers. [51:40] That's why you may be attacked, but you're not being attacked [51:43] with very heavy numbers of missiles like at the beginning. [51:47] But in particular, I want to thank my friend, the Crown Prince, [51:52] Mohammed, who is a fantastic man and a great friend of mine [51:57] and a friend of all of yours, I think. [52:06] And he's a warrior. He's a warrior. [52:07] He was not afraid of this country that, frankly, [52:10] he should have been afraid of, because they're very powerful. [52:13] I want to thank Tamim, because Tamim is... [52:17] These three people have been unbelievable, Tamim, [52:20] and then UAE, Mohammed. [52:23] These are three great people. [52:26] And they were under tremendous attack, unexpected attack, [52:29] and they weren't thinking this was going to happen. [52:33] Nobody was, and they turned against them [52:35] and really became very powerfully aligned. [52:39] And they were with us, but they weren't with us very obliquely. [52:44] They were with us. [52:45] But I think that I have to acknowledge for their bravery, [52:49] because they were being hit pretty hard. [52:51] All three of them, they were being hit pretty hard. [52:54] The Emir, Mohammed, Mohammed. [52:59] You had two Mohammeds and a Tamim. [53:03] And they're friends of mine. [53:04] And also, I have to say that Bahrain and Kuwait, [53:08] they were stand-up, more so than NATO, I want to say. [53:14] More so than NATO. [53:15] Now, they're a little closer to the action than NATO, [53:17] in all fairness, but very disappointed with NATO. [53:22] But I wasn't disappointed with our allies in the Middle East [53:25] and others, and others. [53:27] We had tremendous support from countries [53:30] that were not in the general area, [53:32] but they were tremendously supportive. [53:34] Thank you. [53:34] I think Turkey was fantastic, actually fantastic. [53:39] And they stayed out of things that we asked them to. [53:42] And he's a great leader. [53:45] He's a great leader. [53:47] And Indonesia was great. [53:50] So many, we had so many great, you know, [53:52] you learn who your friends are, really do. [53:54] You learn who your friends are. [53:57] And, but Indonesia, Turkey, and so many other countries. [54:01] But the five were great. [54:04] But your dear friend and my dear friend, [54:07] he was all man, he stood up, and he wasn't scared. [54:12] Maybe he was, I don't know. [54:14] Maybe he was, but he didn't show it. [54:15] He was great, a great leader. [54:17] You can be very, Saudi Arabia can be very proud of your, [54:21] because he's got a lot of titles. [54:22] He's the crown prince. [54:24] He's the prime minister. [54:26] He's the future king. [54:28] He's got about seven other titles. [54:29] I said, you have more titles than any human being on earth. [54:33] He's everything. [54:34] And he deserves to be, because he's a winner. [54:37] So I just want to thank him. [54:38] Thank those people. [54:43] So the Middle East will be transformed, [54:46] and the future of that region is never, [54:48] I don't think it's ever looked brighter. [54:50] You couldn't have, you know, we did the Abraham Accords. [54:52] I hope you're going to be getting into the Abraham Accords finally. [54:55] Yeah, sir, will you please go back and explain? [54:57] It's time now. [54:59] You know, Mohammed said, oh, yes, as soon as we do this, [55:03] as soon as we do that. [55:05] I said, Mohammed, we did that. [55:07] Oh, yes, but we have a couple of other things. [55:09] It's now time. [55:11] We've now taken them out, [55:12] and they are out bigly. [55:13] We've got to get into the Abraham Accords. [55:16] And we hope all of the countries are going to be in the Abraham Accords. [55:20] We have some very brave countries that did it. [55:23] You know, years ago, they went in, [55:26] and you know who they are, the four, the early four. [55:30] And they did a great thing in doing it. [55:32] And it was great for them also economically, [55:35] but it was a great thing that they did it. [55:36] But I think all the Middle Eastern countries are going to be joining now. [55:40] And in some cases, I would say all the Middle Eastern countries, [55:43] and beyond, you have people not in the Middle East [55:46] that want to be members. [55:47] You'll be seeing that soon. [55:49] In the meantime, the conflict in Iran also makes it absolutely vital [55:53] for the radical left Democrats in Congress [55:56] to immediately end their dangerous shutdown [55:58] of our Department of Homeland Security. [56:00] You know, they want to play games. [56:01] That's all they are. [56:03] These people are lunatics. [56:05] They sort of remind me of— [56:07] they remind me, actually, a little bit of Iran. [56:11] They're deranged. [56:12] They're deranged. [56:13] They're deranged. [56:15] The deranged Democrats, for 42 days, [56:18] they've tried to completely eliminate funding [56:21] for the number one duty of government, [56:23] which is keeping America safe. [56:25] And they want no ICE. [56:27] They want no Border Patrol. [56:29] They want no protection of any kind to be given, [56:32] reopening our borders [56:33] and stopping all immigration enforcement in our country. [56:36] They want to have our borders be open again. [56:39] We opened. We took in 25 million people. [56:41] We've gotten a lot of them out. [56:44] Tremendous numbers of people [56:45] that should never have been here. [56:47] Over four long years before my election, [56:50] these same radical, lunatic Democrats [56:53] let 25 million people pour across our borders [56:56] like they were nothing, like they were nonexistent. [57:00] These people were totally unvetted, unchecked, [57:02] including murderers, drug dealers, gang members, [57:06] vicious criminals, even the criminally insane. [57:09] In 2024, the American people voted in a landslide [57:13] to stop the invasion of our country. [57:16] And I want all seven swings [57:17] to be the same. [57:18] We won the Republican election [57:20] by winning states by millions and millions of votes. [57:22] We won the Electoral College by a massive number. [57:27] We won the popular vote, millions and votes. [57:30] Just millions. [57:31] It was, this was a big election. [57:33] I loved every minute of it. [57:35] And for the first time, [57:37] no Republicans done anything like this in decades. [57:41] But for the first time, we won the counties of America. [57:44] That's a big one. [57:45] 2,700 to 525. [57:47] 2,700 to 525. [57:49] 87% of the vote. [57:51] We won 87% of the counties. [57:54] In other words, it was a mandate [57:56] like our country has not seen in many decades. [57:58] It was a mandate for an ideology, [58:01] which is an ideology, basically, of common sense. [58:04] We want strong borders. [58:06] We want a powerful military. [58:07] We want good education. [58:09] We want to have homes for people, [58:10] and low interest rates, and no inflation. [58:15] And right now, my polls are better [58:17] than they've ever been before. [58:18] You know, I heard the other day, I think that he's [58:20] losing the MAGA base. [58:22] I said, really? [58:23] Because of the war. [58:24] See, I get into a war. [58:26] Of course, they call it a war. [58:27] I call it a military conflict. [58:30] But there's a legal reason for that. [58:33] But you get into a war or a military operation or conflict [58:38] for you, and then they say, my base. [58:40] I said, no, no. [58:41] MAGA's stronger than ever, because MAGA's [58:43] make America great again. [58:44] But my MAGA people, which is the greatest phrase [58:47] in the history of politics, it's the most important movement [58:50] by far. [58:51] The history of the world. [58:52] I mean, you know, there's never been anything like this. [58:56] And in fact, just a few days ago, you have to understand, [59:01] the fake news right back, oh, that's a lot of fake news. [59:04] Yeah, so you brought a lot of fake news with you. [59:06] They must know you're going to make a speech at some point, [59:09] because look at the... [59:10] But what happened is the fake news was saying, he may... [59:14] They hope. [59:15] You know, it's like, oh, we got to get rid of this guy. [59:19] They say, he may be losing his MAGA base. [59:23] And that would be maybe the end of him. [59:27] And then I happen to be watching CNN, which is terrible. [59:31] They treat me terribly. [59:33] In fact, just a few days ago, CNN had a poll that had me at 100% of MAGA voters. [59:41] They said they've never seen anything like that. [59:43] Can you put that up? [59:44] I actually said, if you could put it up. [59:45] Do you have the technology to put it up? [59:47] Go ahead, give it a shot. [59:49] You know, sometimes you look at the polling data, [59:51] and there are numbers that just jump off the screen at you. [59:54] And this is one of those. [59:56] Because just take a look here. [59:57] MAGA GOP view of Trump. [59:59] Approve 100%. 100%. [1:00:03] If you are a member of MAGA and the GOP, you approve of Donald John Trump. [1:00:08] 0% say that they disapprove. [1:00:12] You don't have to be a mathematical genius to know you can't go higher than 100%. [1:00:16] He is the 1972 Miami Dolphins. [1:00:22] Good technology. Thank you. [1:00:24] I figured you'd have good tech. [1:00:25] I said, I wonder if they could put that poll up. [1:00:27] We just did it two minutes ago. [1:00:29] No, but I was watching this, and I'm hearing them saying, [1:00:32] could he be losing the MAGA base? [1:00:33] I don't think so. You know why? [1:00:35] Because MAGA wants to win, number one. [1:00:38] Number two, they want our country protected. [1:00:40] They don't want another country out there that's hostile and crazy [1:00:44] to have a nuclear weapon. [1:00:45] And number three, they like us protecting certain allies, [1:00:51] whether it's Israel or Saudi Arabia or Qatar or UAE, any of them. [1:00:56] They want that. [1:00:58] MAGA wants strength. [1:00:59] And they want victory. [1:01:00] They want success. [1:01:02] And that's what we have. [1:01:03] And we have been very, very successful. [1:01:06] You know, when I went into Venezuela, I said, [1:01:09] because I campaigned on the fact, peace with strength, you wouldn't have to use. [1:01:12] I built this great military. [1:01:14] I said, you'll never have to use it. [1:01:15] But sometimes you have to use it. [1:01:17] And Cuba's next, by the way. [1:01:19] But pretend I didn't say that, please. [1:01:21] Pretend I didn't say that. [1:01:23] Please, please, please, media, please disregard that statement. [1:01:28] Thank you very much. [1:01:31] Cuba's next. [1:01:32] So despite the radical left Democrat shutdown, [1:01:36] we will continue to defend the sovereign borders of the United States of America [1:01:41] and we'll defend our allies, your ally. [1:01:45] You didn't know they were that tough, did you? [1:01:47] You didn't know. [1:01:47] They were pretty tough, aren't they? [1:01:49] Not tough anymore. [1:01:51] Now we'll continue to deport dangerous criminal aliens from our country. [1:01:55] Just days ago, an 18-year-old girl in Chicago named Sheridan Gorman was gunned down by a savage [1:02:02] criminal alien led in by sleepy Joe Biden and released in a Democrat sanctuary city. [1:02:08] It was an animal. [1:02:10] The same month, an 83-year-old veteran, highly regarded person was shoved onto the subway tracks [1:02:17] and murdered by an illegal alien with a long criminal history in New York City. [1:02:22] These are vicious criminal thugs, disgusting human beings that Democrats have defunded our airports to protect. [1:02:30] They want our airports to be defunded so that these people can use them. [1:02:32] That these people can come into our country. [1:02:34] It's not going to happen. [1:02:36] We're not going to have it. [1:02:38] That's why this week I deployed ICE to our airports to help reduce the delays. [1:02:44] People there are doing a great job, but they didn't want to pay them. [1:02:47] The Democrats didn't want to pay them. [1:02:49] And a short time ago, I also ordered emergency funding to resume paying the TSA agents. [1:02:54] Immediately, they're getting paid. [1:02:56] Democrats must stop their dangerous and destructive shutdown and reopen the Department of Homeland Security. [1:03:03] Without delay. [1:03:05] And it's time that they start thinking properly. [1:03:08] That's why they lost in such a landslide and put America first. [1:03:12] It's time that they start thinking about America first. [1:03:16] And we're honored to be joined tonight by many distinguished guests from around the world, [1:03:20] including FII Institute Chairman Yasser Al Romain. [1:03:26] Where are you, Yasser? [1:03:28] Come here, stand up. [1:03:29] Yes, yes, please. [1:03:30] What a nice thing. [1:03:31] What a nice thing. [1:03:35] And his son, Faisal. [1:03:36] And by the way, I've known him really well, but, you know, I've never heard his last name. [1:03:43] So I'm saying, who the hell is Yasser? [1:03:44] I know Yasser. [1:03:45] I said, who the hell is that guy? [1:03:47] But I know him by Yasser, right? [1:03:49] I didn't know if it was your first name or your last name. [1:03:51] All I know is he's got a lot of power. [1:03:53] All I know is he's got a lot of cash. [1:03:57] And he's another great leader, actually. [1:03:59] And he's a good friend of mine. [1:04:00] So nice to be with you and nice to be with your son. [1:04:03] Son's beautiful. [1:04:05] Saudi Minister of Finance Mohammed Al Jadon. [1:04:09] Thank you very much. [1:04:10] Thank you very much. [1:04:11] Nice to see you again. [1:04:12] Good job. [1:04:16] I mean, if you want to be a Minister of Finance, Saudi Arabia is a good place to do it, right? [1:04:21] You don't have any dearth. [1:04:22] There's no dearth of funds. [1:04:24] Most places, they say, where are we going to get the money? [1:04:26] How about a tax increase? [1:04:29] Minister of State Mohammed Al Sheikh. [1:04:32] Mohammed, thank you very much. [1:04:35] Great honor. [1:04:37] Chairman of the Saudi Esports Federation, His Royal Highness Prince Faisal. [1:04:42] And, of course, please, thank you. [1:04:48] And, of course, the Kingdom's wonderful [1:04:50] ambassador to the United States, Her Royal Highness Princess Rima, who's great. [1:05:03] She's great. [1:05:04] Also, I want to thank the president of Sierra Leone, Julius Madabayo. [1:05:12] Madabayo. [1:05:13] I love that name. [1:05:15] Thank you. [1:05:17] Great honor to have you. [1:05:18] And chairman of the FII Institute Executive Committee, Richard Attias. [1:05:25] Thank you, Richard. [1:05:28] As well as Special Envoy, I call him, [1:05:31] Henry Kissinger, who doesn't leak, because Henry is a big leaker. [1:05:36] Richard Nixon would beat him. [1:05:38] Henry, somebody's leaking on us. [1:05:40] There's somebody leaking. [1:05:42] Henry would say, we'll get to the bottom. [1:05:45] It was Henry that was leaking. [1:05:47] That wasn't good. [1:05:48] So we have Henry Kissinger, better than Henry Kissinger. [1:05:52] And he doesn't leak. [1:05:53] Special Envoy, Steve Witkoff. [1:05:56] Thank you, Steve. [1:05:59] You're doing a great job. [1:06:01] And he and Jared, Jared Kushner, they're like a team. [1:06:03] And boy, I tell you, they're a good team. [1:06:05] Hi, Ike. [1:06:06] That's a high IQ team. [1:06:08] You want to find your high IQ people. [1:06:10] Director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy, Michael Kratios, [1:06:16] a Greek individual. [1:06:18] Where's Michael? [1:06:19] He was at the Greek event. [1:06:21] Hi, Michael. [1:06:22] He was at the Greek event yesterday, so I know he's Greek. [1:06:25] They asked me, please, sir, would you introduce Michael? [1:06:28] CMS administrator, a phenomenal man, a brilliant man. [1:06:33] You know, he had a show on television for like 20 years that was so great. [1:06:36] I was on his show. [1:06:38] He said, would you do me a favor? [1:06:39] Would you go on my show? [1:06:41] I said, yeah, yeah, I'll go on your show. [1:06:43] It's a big show. [1:06:44] It was very successful. [1:06:46] And I went on his show, and he determined that I should lose weight. [1:06:50] This is what I went through. [1:06:51] He said, he said, I think you should lose weight. [1:06:55] He said, I don't need you saying that in front of millions of people. [1:06:58] You don't have to tell me that. [1:07:00] But he's a great guy. [1:07:02] And I don't know how he ever got the job after that. [1:07:04] But he's the most powerful man, actually. [1:07:08] Medicine. [1:07:09] And Bobby, what a team. [1:07:10] Bobby is great. [1:07:11] He's great. [1:07:12] Dr. Oz, you know that? [1:07:13] Mehmet Oz. [1:07:17] And they're coming up with things that are amazing, a little out of the box. [1:07:21] But the out of the box guys are really finding things that are amazing. [1:07:25] Autism, that's so important to us. [1:07:27] We want to find out why is it happening in such large numbers all over the world? [1:07:31] But why is it happening in our country all over the world? [1:07:35] And you're coming up with some pretty impressive studies and answers. [1:07:39] A really good friend of mine, the president of FIFA. [1:07:42] Gianni Infantino. [1:07:44] And Gianni is great. [1:07:49] You know, when I didn't get the Nobel Peace Prize, you got to understand, I don't care. [1:07:57] Norway has lost so credible. [1:07:59] I stopped eight wars. [1:08:01] I even stopped India and Pakistan. [1:08:05] And they were going at it for a week. [1:08:06] They had nine planes already shot down. [1:08:08] They were in a war. [1:08:09] I stopped them. [1:08:10] You know how I stopped them? [1:08:11] I said, if you keep fighting, I'm going to put a 250% tariff on each one. [1:08:17] No, no, no. [1:08:18] You cannot do that. [1:08:19] I said, I'm doing it. [1:08:21] All right, we won't fight anymore. [1:08:22] That's how I stopped them. [1:08:23] I used tariffs to stop. [1:08:24] You ever hear of anything like that? [1:08:26] It was too much for them to bear. [1:08:29] But they were going to be in a war. [1:08:30] And the prime minister, actually a great guy, the prime minister of Pakistan, said [1:08:34] President Trump saved 30 to 50 million people. [1:08:37] Two nuclear countries. [1:08:39] What happened? [1:08:40] And I figured, I mean, if I don't get the Nobel Prize for Peace, nobody will ever get it. [1:08:49] I didn't get it. [1:08:49] I'm not surprised. [1:08:51] I didn't get it. [1:08:53] And the person that got it was shocked. [1:08:55] She's a wonderful woman, too, by the way. [1:08:57] And she said, no, no, no, I don't deserve it. [1:08:59] President Trump doesn't. [1:09:00] Nobody deserves it. [1:09:01] Nobody ever deserves it. [1:09:02] I stopped eight wars yesterday. [1:09:04] Do you know what that is? [1:09:05] Eight wars. [1:09:06] You didn't stop eight wars. [1:09:07] You started eight wars yesterday. [1:09:10] I stopped eight wars. [1:09:12] But it was a little early because, in all fairness, it was for the year before, right? [1:09:16] It was for 24. [1:09:18] But still, you thought they would have made an exception. [1:09:21] But they didn't do that. [1:09:21] They didn't do that. [1:09:23] You watch what happens. [1:09:24] But it was sort of amazing. [1:09:26] So she was so nice. [1:09:27] And she actually came to the White House, and she presented me with her award. [1:09:32] She's a wonderful woman. [1:09:34] But stopping wars, I think, is my—it's the best—I think I do it the best. [1:09:42] I stopped wars that nobody thought. [1:09:43] President Putin called me. [1:09:45] He said, I can't believe you stopped this one and this one, which are impossible. [1:09:50] Azerbaijan was an impossible war to stop. [1:09:53] We stopped it. [1:09:55] But we also have a man who's probably good at stopping wars. [1:10:00] I know he's good at being a tough guy. [1:10:02] He is a tough guy. [1:10:03] He's been very tough on crime, and he's done a great job. [1:10:05] Miami Mayor Francis Suarez is here someplace. [1:10:10] Francis, hi. [1:10:11] How are you? [1:10:13] And we have our great son. [1:10:15] He's got the best genes, I think, of any human being I've ever known. [1:10:19] He's my son, Don Trump. [1:10:22] Don, he's a great guy. [1:10:25] And his fiancée, Bettina. [1:10:27] Good, Bettina. [1:10:28] Good. [1:10:29] No, my son's got the greatest genes in history. [1:10:34] I'm a big believer in genes, by the way, I will tell you. [1:10:38] My daughter, Tiffany, and her husband, Michael, my beautiful daughter, right? [1:10:45] And they have a new child, the most beautiful—the most beautiful guy we've seen, right? [1:10:51] Blows us all away, right? [1:10:53] He's great. [1:10:54] Thank you for being here. [1:10:55] And countless other business leaders. [1:10:57] We have so many friends of mine here, so many business leaders, but we can't go on because we have a couple of moments more to discuss the world. [1:11:03] And the economy. [1:11:04] Over the past 14 months, the Trump administration has achieved perhaps the most dramatic one-year turnaround of any nation in all of history. [1:11:15] A short time ago, a man that we just discussed, the king, the future king of Saudi Arabia—and I also love the king of Saudi Arabia. [1:11:23] What a man he is. [1:11:24] When I was there, we bonded. [1:11:26] He would grab me to get up. [1:11:28] He was a little frail at the time, and this was a long time ago, and he's still doing well. [1:11:32] And he grabbed my arm to get up when I was sitting next to him. [1:11:35] And they said, that's the only time he's ever grabbed anybody. [1:11:38] He would grab me all the time. [1:11:40] And I said, I think he likes me. [1:11:43] And he did like me, and he still likes me. [1:11:45] And he's a great man, and say hello to him. [1:11:47] He's a great guy with a great son. [1:11:50] But a short time ago, we were together, and he looked at me, and he said, you know, it's amazing. [1:12:00] One year ago, you were a dead country. [1:12:03] Now you're the hottest country anywhere in the world. [1:12:05] He didn't think this was going to happen. [1:12:08] He didn't think he'd be kissing my ass. [1:12:10] He really didn't. [1:12:11] He thought he'd be just another American president that was a loser, where the country was going downhill. [1:12:18] But now he has to be nice to me. [1:12:21] You tell him he better be nice to me. [1:12:24] He's got to be. [1:12:25] But it was really something. [1:12:27] No, he said, though, he said, you know, it's amazing, President, because he's a very smart, but a regular kind of a guy. [1:12:35] He said, you know, it's amazing, President. [1:12:37] A year ago, in that case, it was a year and a half. [1:12:40] It was six months ago. [1:12:41] But a year ago, you were a dead country. [1:12:46] Now you're literally the hottest country anywhere in the world. [1:12:50] And that was before we beat the hell out of Iran. [1:12:53] You know, now I think he's got to say even better. [1:12:56] I think we have to up it. [1:12:58] But he's fantastic. [1:13:00] And everything we do, we're working to make America the number one place on Earth to do business. [1:13:05] We passed the largest tax cuts in American history, including no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, no tax on Social Security. [1:13:13] For our great seniors. [1:13:15] We provided 100% expensing and bonus depreciation so that anyone who wants to build a factory can deduct the entire cost of equipment and the entire factory in the first year. [1:13:27] That used to take 38 years to do it. [1:13:30] Take it a little drips, little drips. [1:13:31] Now it's done. [1:13:34] And, you know, a lot of people remember that my first four years was the most successful time we've ever had financially in the history of our country. [1:13:43] We had an unbelievable year. [1:13:44] We had an unbelievable success. [1:13:46] But this is much better. [1:13:48] And, by the way, when this war ends, it's going to be like a rocket ship. [1:13:51] I thought we were going to go down more, and I thought oil prices were going to go up higher than they are now. [1:13:57] It's not finished yet. [1:13:58] I'm not saying it's sort of finished, but it's not finished. [1:14:01] It's got to be finished. [1:14:03] And I thought that we would see a bigger drop in stock. [1:14:07] Hasn't been that bad. [1:14:09] You know, it's sort of crazy. [1:14:12] I hit 50,000 on the Dow. [1:14:14] People said that wouldn't be possible within four years. [1:14:16] I did it in one year. [1:14:18] And then we hit 7,000 on the S&P. [1:14:21] People said that's even harder than hitting 50,000 on the Dow. [1:14:25] And I did that in less than one year. [1:14:27] Toward the end of the year, both of them, we broke every record, every stock record we broke. [1:14:33] And you're big beneficiaries because so many of you invest in the United States and keep doing it because it's going to be a rocket ship. [1:14:40] You watch. [1:14:42] But then I said, all right, do I have to do this? [1:14:45] We have a country that's sick. [1:14:47] We have a country that's demented. [1:14:50] And they have a nuclear weapon or they want to have one. [1:14:52] They were very close to getting it. [1:14:54] Remember, they were two weeks away. [1:14:56] They were two weeks away. [1:14:58] If we didn't hit that, I call it the nuclear dust. [1:15:00] I use the term nuclear dust. [1:15:02] If we didn't knock the hell out of them, they would have had a nuclear weapon within two to four weeks. [1:15:06] And they would have used it on you and on Israel and on everyone else. [1:15:11] And I said, we really do have to stop and go on a little different journey for a little while and take them out and then go back to life. [1:15:19] We did. [1:15:20] And we did it violently. [1:15:22] We did it powerfully. [1:15:24] We did it with the respect of the world. [1:15:27] And we helped a lot of allies. [1:15:29] And we learned about other allies. [1:15:31] We learned that other allies weren't there. [1:15:34] We didn't need them, but they weren't there if we did need them. [1:15:39] And that's going to be very costly for them. [1:15:41] The stock market has set 53 all-time record highs since the election, adding $9 trillion in value to America's savings and retirement accounts. [1:15:50] And we've had a lot of jobs in 401 s. [1:15:53] Everybody's benefiting by this. [1:15:55] And more Americans are working today than at any time in the history of our country. [1:15:59] At any time. [1:16:00] To me, that's the number one stat. [1:16:02] More Americans are working today, by far, than at any time in the history of our country. [1:16:08] And in 14 months, we've lifted 3.3 million Americans off of food stamps. [1:16:13] That's a record. [1:16:14] And Biden and his allies wrecked our country. [1:16:20] They wreaked havoc on our economy. [1:16:22] And they gave us the worst inflation. [1:16:23] And that's the worst in American history. [1:16:26] Under Trump, during the last three months of 2025, we got core inflation down to 1.6%. [1:16:33] And right now, the average tax refund for filers, because of the great, big, beautiful bill, has been close to $5,000. [1:16:41] It's a lot of money for a family. [1:16:44] And this, you know, when I'm talking to Saudi Arabia and I'm talking about $5,000, they look at me, 5,000? [1:16:50] That's like a penny. [1:16:51] Right, David? [1:16:52] That's like a penny. [1:16:53] I'm not into $5,000. [1:16:55] But it's Saudi Arabia. [1:16:58] I just want to ask, are the Saudis impressed by the fact that a family has saved $5,000? [1:17:05] I know. [1:17:06] They're looking like, what the hell is $5,000? [1:17:08] Their shoes cost them more than $5,000. [1:17:10] But that's the way it goes. [1:17:13] We're talking about, remember, we're talking about the real world. [1:17:16] In his entire term, Joe Biden, I have two terms for him, Crooked Joe and Sleepy Joe. [1:17:24] And I've never, it's always been pretty, you know, I do sometimes apologize. [1:17:27] But in his entire term, Joe Biden got less than $1 trillion of new investment in the United States. [1:17:39] A lot less. [1:17:42] And in our first 11 months, 12th month is coming, it's going to be big. [1:17:49] We did $18 trillion. [1:17:51] Think of it, less than $1 trillion for four years. [1:17:54] In 11 months, we did $18 trillion. [1:17:56] And we have factories being built all over the country. [1:17:59] It's a level that's never been seen before. [1:18:02] And a lot of that has to do with the fact that I allow these plants and everything to build their own electricity. [1:18:08] Well, we need big electricity. [1:18:10] They're all building their own electricity. [1:18:12] But a lot of it has to do with the tax bill. [1:18:14] A lot of them, because it's really the biggest tax reduction bill in history. [1:18:17] The great, big, beautiful bill. [1:18:19] And a lot of it has to do with the one-year deductibility where they, you build a plant and you take the whole thing as a deduction. [1:18:26] I did that in my first term also. [1:18:29] I did it for one year. [1:18:31] Now I have it for 10 years. [1:18:33] So it's pretty amazing. [1:18:35] And it's pretty amazing what we're seeing. [1:18:37] But it all started with our historic visit to the kingdom of Saudi Arabia. [1:18:41] My first visit was to the future king. [1:18:45] And on that first foreign trip of my presidency last May, the crown prince announced that Saudi Arabia would be investing an incredible almost $1 trillion in the United States, [1:18:58] as just a few examples of these new partnerships. [1:19:02] Oracle will be building a $14 billion worth of cloud computing and AI infrastructure in the kingdom. [1:19:11] I didn't know that, David. [1:19:13] We have to talk to your father about that. [1:19:15] Why isn't he doing it here, David? [1:19:17] I'm very upset with you. [1:19:19] And by the way, David has done a very good job. [1:19:24] David Ellis said he just had a very big win. [1:19:27] And your father is very proud of you because your father said that's a tough one. [1:19:31] You got it. [1:19:32] You got it done. [1:19:33] It's going to be a great success. [1:19:34] You're going to be a great success. [1:19:35] You're going to blow away your father. [1:19:37] And he'll be very happy about that because he loves you. [1:19:40] But it's a great family. [1:19:42] Great family. [1:19:43] Say hello to him. [1:19:44] Okay? [1:19:45] You're going to have a big, big success with the deal he made. [1:19:48] Boeing is selling dozens of 737 airplanes in a deal valued at $4.8 billion and supporting approximately 20,000 U.S. jobs. [1:19:59] And during our trip to the United States and Saudi Arabia, [1:20:02] and I must say also Qatar, we visited. [1:20:07] They were fantastic. [1:20:09] And UAE, we visited. [1:20:10] They were fantastic. [1:20:11] All three of them. [1:20:12] We took in a total of almost $3 trillion from just those three countries. [1:20:18] But Saudi Arabia signed the largest defense sales agreement in American history, nearly $142 billion of the finest military equipment anywhere in the world. [1:20:28] We make the best military equipment in the world by far. [1:20:32] Nobody's ever figured out the Patriot. [1:20:34] I mean, when you can shoot down 101 out of 101, that's good stuff, right? [1:20:38] And those suckers are traveling at 2,000, Mr. Minister, 2,500 miles an hour. [1:20:44] You better hope you don't have chokers sitting behind that desk. [1:20:48] Because if they're about one second late, that's the end of it. [1:20:52] You say, well, we missed them. [1:20:54] They're coming. [1:20:55] When I hosted the crown prince at the White House last fall, we officially designated the kingdom as a major non-NATO ally. [1:21:04] First time. [1:21:05] And for the very first time, we agreed to sell Saudi Arabia perhaps the most capable fighter jet ever built, the F-35. [1:21:15] The F-35 is amazing. [1:21:17] And we sell them very sparingly. [1:21:19] We don't want other people to have them. [1:21:22] I'm confident that this partnership and so many others around the world will continue to grow and thrive because under President Trump, America once again fights and competes. [1:21:31] For one thing, we fight to win. [1:21:33] We fight for justice and we fight to win. [1:21:36] We don't fight to be politically correct like we did under other presidents where we fought to just keep fighting, fighting, fighting. [1:21:44] And, you know, when I took out ISIS, I was told by generals it would take four to five years. [1:21:52] And I met General Raisin Cane, who's our top person, head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. [1:21:59] I said, if I ever do this thing again, if I ever get in, I'm putting that guy as the head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. [1:22:05] I went to see him in Iraq. [1:22:07] And I said, why is it taking so long to destroy? [1:22:09] I said, because we have the best weapons in the world. [1:22:12] And I understood why. [1:22:14] But I had generals. [1:22:15] I call them the television generals. [1:22:17] They weren't any good. [1:22:18] Mattis, Milley, they weren't any good. [1:22:20] They were lousy. [1:22:22] But they said, sir, it will take about four years. [1:22:25] When I went over and I met General Cane, I said, how long will it take? [1:22:28] Four weeks, sir. [1:22:29] You'll have a lot of time left over. [1:22:30] I said, wait a minute. [1:22:31] Did you say four weeks? [1:22:32] Four weeks, sir. [1:22:33] It'll take four weeks. [1:22:35] You'll have a lot of time left over. [1:22:37] That's our new head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. [1:22:40] He said, how do you do that? [1:22:41] Well, sir, we were only able to fight from this one very far away location because nobody wanted to use all of our portable runways that we have all over the Middle East. [1:22:52] We have portable runways. [1:22:53] Can you believe it? [1:22:54] We have everything. [1:22:55] But nobody wanted to use them because they didn't want to insult the country where the runway was located. [1:23:00] I said, they wouldn't even know. [1:23:01] Do you think some country is going to know when we have jets taking off? [1:23:04] They don't know. [1:23:05] He said, well, I agree with you, sir. [1:23:06] But whether they know or not, who cares? [1:23:08] He said, sir, we have about 17 locations. [1:23:12] That we could take off. [1:23:14] From this one, it took eight hours to get to the destination. [1:23:17] By the time we got there, we had to refuel all the time, and we had to come back. [1:23:21] He said, but we have 17 different locations, sir. [1:23:24] And, sir, we're going to hit them from the left. [1:23:27] We're going to hit them from the right. [1:23:28] We're going to hit them from the east and the west. [1:23:30] And we're going to hit them from above. [1:23:32] And you could see he was getting crazy. [1:23:36] And I said, what's your first name? [1:23:38] He said, Raisin, sir. [1:23:41] What do you mean, Raisin? [1:23:42] My name is Raisin. [1:23:43] He said, do you mean? [1:23:45] Raisin. [1:23:46] Your name is Raisin Cane? [1:23:48] And he said, yes, sir. [1:23:50] You're the guy I'm looking for. [1:23:52] I've been looking for you for four frickin' years. [1:23:56] I found Raisin Cane. [1:23:58] His first name is Dan, but his nickname is Raisin. [1:24:02] And I loved that. [1:24:03] I loved Raisin Cane. [1:24:04] And I said, if I ever get in, and this was before I decided to even run. [1:24:08] I said, if I ever run and if I win, that guy's going to be the head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. [1:24:12] That's exactly what happened. [1:24:14] And he was all for me, and I'm all for him. [1:24:16] But he's a great general. [1:24:18] He's like one of these football coaches that's great. [1:24:22] You know, there's some great ones, Johnny, right? [1:24:24] And all they do is they sit there. [1:24:28] Wives are complaining. [1:24:29] Everyone's complaining. [1:24:30] They never go. [1:24:31] They don't see anybody. [1:24:32] They just go into the room, and they study film and tape. [1:24:35] Then they go out and win, and everyone says, and other guys are out there playing golf. [1:24:41] They're not winning. [1:24:43] And he's been great. [1:24:44] And Pete Hegseth has been amazing. [1:24:46] He's been amazing. [1:24:47] Pete has done a great job. [1:24:48] He was born for it. [1:24:49] I really believe he was born for it. [1:24:51] We have a lot of great people. [1:24:53] We have a lot. [1:24:54] We had a great first four years, but the people we have now, you know, look, when I won, I'd never done it before. [1:25:02] I ran. [1:25:03] Everyone thought I was doing it for fun. [1:25:04] Even Steve Witkoff, he said, you're doing it for fun, right? [1:25:07] No, I guess. [1:25:08] I don't know. [1:25:09] I didn't know what I was doing it for. [1:25:10] Maybe. [1:25:12] But they all said, no, he's going to run. [1:25:13] And in September, he's going to have a lot of fun. [1:25:15] He'll drop out. [1:25:16] And then the debates came, and I did good in the debates. [1:25:18] And we knocked him out. [1:25:19] I was knocking people off. [1:25:20] All senators, governors, mostly senators and governors, all professional politicians, smart guys. [1:25:25] You can't be stupid and be a senator or a governor. [1:25:27] It doesn't work that way. [1:25:28] Other than Biden, he got lucky. [1:25:30] He was in a room. [1:25:31] They locked him in a room, and he never got to talk. [1:25:35] So that's a whole other story. [1:25:38] But I ran, and then all of a sudden, there were 18 people, including me. [1:25:42] Then there were 15. [1:25:43] Then there were 12. [1:25:45] Then there were nine. [1:25:48] Then there were six, five. [1:25:51] It was like a rocket ship. [1:25:52] Four. [1:25:53] And then all of a sudden, I won. [1:25:57] But I never did it before. [1:25:59] I went to Washington. [1:26:00] I said, I've only been here 17 times, and I've never slept over. [1:26:03] I didn't know anybody. [1:26:04] So I had to take recommendations from RINOS and some good people. [1:26:11] I mean, there were recommendations, and some were really good. [1:26:14] I mean, I had some great people. [1:26:15] Look, I rebuilt our entire military in the first term. [1:26:18] We got the largest tax cuts in history, the largest regulation cuts in history in the first term. [1:26:23] But I didn't have the same people, generally. [1:26:27] But I went home, and I watched this thing closely. [1:26:32] And by that time, I knew the good, the bad, and the ugly. [1:26:34] I knew the good ones. [1:26:35] I knew the bad ones. [1:26:37] And when I came back, I picked great people. [1:26:40] We have a great—we have an unbelievable—we're talking military now, but we have an unbelievable group because I got to know it. [1:26:46] I was never in Washington. [1:26:48] You know, it's hard. [1:26:49] I never ran for class president. [1:26:53] All of a sudden, ladies and gentlemen. [1:26:55] Your next president of the United States is Donald Trump. [1:27:00] I said, really? [1:27:01] I never did this before. [1:27:02] Johnny, I said, how the hell did this happen? [1:27:05] Right? [1:27:07] But it did happen. [1:27:08] And we had a great first term. [1:27:10] But the second term is blowing it away, to be honest with you. [1:27:13] It's really blowing it away. [1:27:14] And when we decide to leave, you know, regime change. [1:27:19] I guess we change the regime. [1:27:21] The regime keeps—it gets blown up every two days. [1:27:25] Everybody's afraid to announce who's the next president. [1:27:27] We don't even know who the hell the leader is. [1:27:29] So I think we have regime change already. [1:27:31] But we're going to be—at some point, we'll be leaving. [1:27:35] And I think you're going to see a rocket ship because we won't have that dark cloud hanging over our heads, Steve, right? [1:27:43] That we did before, which was a nuclear-armed, sick country of Iran because it might have affected your country, Saudi Arabia and the others. [1:27:53] But—and it certainly affected Israel more than anybody. [1:27:56] The hatred they had. [1:27:58] The hatred they have for Israel. [1:28:00] But it also affected us because with modern-day equipment, they can fly. [1:28:06] And how about—how about the fact that they flew a missile 2,700 miles the other day? [1:28:11] They didn't say they had that. [1:28:13] Nobody knew they had that. [1:28:14] It went 2,700 miles. [1:28:17] So we learned a lot. [1:28:18] But we're determined to have the best technology, the brightest minds, the greatest businesses, and the strongest economic and security partnerships of any nation anywhere in the world. [1:28:29] And for this reason, we're also committed to ensuring the United States remains number one in artificial intelligence. [1:28:35] We're doing great. [1:28:36] We're leading China by a lot. [1:28:38] And I'll not allow radical left maniacs to sacrifice American AI leadership to red tape or political correctness. [1:28:45] It's going good. [1:28:47] We're doing really well. [1:28:48] We're building factories all over America. [1:28:50] The biggest in the world. [1:28:52] And in America, we don't fear the future. [1:28:54] We invent the future. [1:28:55] We're really inventing the future. [1:28:56] We have the most brilliant minds. [1:28:58] Thank you. [1:28:59] And we invite all nations to join us in building the most powerful AI ecosystem on the planet. [1:29:05] We're building more automobile plants than any time in the last 50 years for a lot of reasons. [1:29:12] I think number one may be the election, but number two and a close number two is tariffs. [1:29:17] The tariffs are driving people in from Canada, Mexico, Germany, Japan, South Korea coming in. [1:29:23] We're building auto plants all over the United States. [1:29:26] Tens of billions. [1:29:28] I met Mr. Toyota in Japan. [1:29:30] I said, what's your name? [1:29:32] He's about 92 years old. [1:29:34] Sharp is a tech. [1:29:37] What's your name? [1:29:38] Toyota. [1:29:39] I said, you're rich. [1:29:41] I said, do you have anything to do with automobiles? [1:29:43] Yes. [1:29:44] What do you have to do with Toyota? [1:29:46] I own it. [1:29:48] And I said, well, do you want to make an investment? [1:29:50] Yes, we're going to spend $10 billion. [1:29:52] Spending $10 billion right now on building five plants. [1:29:56] Everybody is. [1:29:58] They're all coming into America. [1:30:00] We're going to be hotter than we were. [1:30:03] 70 years ago when we dominated the automobile, we made all of the cars. [1:30:08] My administration has also worked tirelessly to ensure that America remains at the bleeding edge of crypto revolution. [1:30:18] We're really doing great. [1:30:19] And if we're not going to do it, then China is going to take it over. [1:30:21] They want to do it. [1:30:23] We're going to be the undisputed crypto capital and Bitcoin superpower of the world. [1:30:28] Bitcoin is very powerful. [1:30:29] It's all becoming powerful. [1:30:31] So many people now, they want to pay you in crypto. [1:30:33] They want to pay you in Bitcoin. [1:30:34] And we have to be at the top of it in all of these, call it an industry. [1:30:42] Last year, I signed the landmark Genius Act into law, creating a clear and simple framework for dollar-backed stablecoins. [1:30:50] And this was a historic achievement. [1:30:52] And I'll not allow Democrats and their big bank donors, although they've had a lot of support for crypto, they will say that. [1:30:59] The Democrats have been very strong on crypto. [1:31:01] They want to see it too, which is shocking if you want to know the truth. [1:31:04] But we don't want to see it. [1:31:05] But we don't want any pointless regulations or needless restrictions. [1:31:10] We want to have free enterprise open. [1:31:12] America became the world financial capital because we were the strongest and the freest nation on earth. [1:31:18] And the Trump administration is going to keep it that way. [1:31:21] We're very open. [1:31:22] And I tell people, if you have problems, call me. [1:31:25] Call me. [1:31:26] And some of them are amazed I actually take their call and get their problem solved. [1:31:31] For four long years, our country was pushed to the edge. [1:31:36] The brink of destruction by radicals and thugs and stupid people who punished success, pillaged our economy, dismantled our borders and surrendered our strength. [1:31:47] But today, all of that is behind us. [1:31:49] Our country is prospering again, I think like never before. [1:31:53] I would say, you know, it's amazing. [1:31:55] I thought I knew I'd do it. [1:31:57] I didn't know I was going to do it. [1:31:58] I knew I had no idea it was going to be this fast. [1:32:01] But you never know. [1:32:02] I had no idea I'd be going into Iran. [1:32:05] I didn't think we'd have to do that. [1:32:07] But it turned out we did because they became more and more radicalized and more and more threatening. [1:32:12] Our economy is booming again. [1:32:14] And America is respected again all over the world, perhaps like never before. [1:32:18] With the help of business leaders, innovators, allies and partners like those in this room, incredible people in this room, incredible successors, the most successful people in the world. [1:32:30] We'll seize every opportunity, overcome every challenge, defeat every threat. [1:32:34] And America and our allies will thrive. [1:32:36] And prosper and win like no nations have ever won before. [1:32:40] You're going to win like you've never had before. [1:32:43] So I want to just thank everybody very much. [1:32:46] And I am asked to take a few questions. [1:32:49] And unlike other politicians, they would like the questions screened. [1:32:53] I don't ask for screening of the questions. [1:32:55] You can ask me anything you want. [1:32:57] You can talk sex. [1:32:59] You can do whatever the hell you want. [1:33:01] I'm here for you. [1:33:04] Whatever question you want, you can ask me. [1:33:09] So do you want to do that? [1:33:11] Do we have some people handling this? [1:33:13] Here he comes. [1:33:14] Look at this man. [1:33:15] Very powerful man coming up, ladies and gentlemen. [1:33:17] We'll take some questions. [1:33:19] Thank you. [1:33:21] Thank you very much, Mr. President. [1:33:23] Thank you so much. [1:33:24] And thank you for accepting to take five questions. [1:33:27] We don't want to take too much of your time. [1:33:29] So let's talk about business. [1:33:31] In one sentence, where should the world invest in America right now? [1:33:37] Say what? [1:33:39] Should the world invest in America right now? [1:33:42] Well, look, the one that they're going crazy about is AI. [1:33:45] Now, sometimes you'll say, let's go the opposite, because I've seen it. [1:33:48] You know, everyone goes, but AI is going crazy. [1:33:51] AI. [1:33:52] So my family, we made Don, the whole family. [1:33:57] Eric is doing a good job. [1:34:00] All of us. [1:34:01] Ivanka. [1:34:02] We liked real estate. [1:34:03] When you can make money in real estate, it's a great business. [1:34:06] But I see some of these guys come into my office. [1:34:08] They're wearing a T-shirt. [1:34:10] They're 24 years old. [1:34:12] Dad, he's got a net worth of $24 billion. [1:34:14] I said, you've got to be kidding. [1:34:16] Awful little contraption. [1:34:19] But the money seems to be, right now, AI. [1:34:23] And also, if you're in school, like you're going to the Wharton School or the Stern School or any of these great schools, [1:34:30] I mean, the numbers that they're paying to go into that business is incredible. [1:34:37] Where you see people getting a $10 million bonus to sign. [1:34:41] Like baseball players. [1:34:42] Or football players. [1:34:43] We're giving you a $10 million. [1:34:45] I mean, I hate to say, because it sounds ridiculous, but there have been some $100 million bonuses paid to sign. [1:34:52] So I think, probably, if you're going to say one thing, AI. [1:34:55] And just hope that it works. [1:34:57] Right? [1:35:00] You better hope. [1:35:03] So, Mr. President, what is the one leadership trait the world is missing right now? [1:35:10] What is missing in leadership? [1:35:13] Well, it's winning. [1:35:14] You've got to win. [1:35:15] You know, I've watched a lot of... [1:35:17] People, leaders, great leaders. [1:35:19] And, you know, the one thing about sports is you break it down into, you know, a two-hour period. [1:35:24] Something nice. [1:35:25] You don't have to wait a lifetime to find out, is somebody a winner or a loser? [1:35:28] You've got a lot of losers. [1:35:29] Mostly losers, fortunately. [1:35:31] It's a good thing to have a lot of losers. [1:35:33] I always like to hang around with losers, actually, because it makes me feel better. [1:35:37] I hate guys that are very, very successful, and you have to listen to their success stories. [1:35:42] I like people that like to listen to my success. [1:35:46] But I find... [1:35:49] And I found this... [1:35:50] And I'm only kidding. [1:35:51] I want to say that, sort of. [1:35:54] But I find that people that win, it's much easier to lead when you're successful and you win. [1:36:03] You know, Vince Lombardi was a very tough person, a very tough football coach. [1:36:07] He was sort of a violent guy, actually. [1:36:09] I knew him. [1:36:10] But he won, and he got away with things because he won. [1:36:13] You know, I used to say, if you win... [1:36:15] Winning helps you to become a better leader. [1:36:18] People follow you if you win. [1:36:20] Yeah. [1:36:21] And not everybody can win. [1:36:23] Some people win, and some people don't win. [1:36:25] But when you win, it's a lot easier to lead. [1:36:29] Talking about winning, Mr. President, the world is entering in a new economic era. [1:36:34] Who do you think are the winners, and who do you think will be the losers? [1:36:37] Are you talking about as nations? [1:36:39] Yes. Or sectors. [1:36:42] The United States right now is the hottest country anywhere in the world, by far. [1:36:48] And we've done it very quickly because we have a good system. [1:36:52] Now, it's somewhat radicalized, [1:36:53] because the Democrats are really holding us back. [1:36:56] And you better hope they don't get in, [1:36:57] because they'll destroy a lot of what we've built. [1:37:00] But right now, the United States, as the future king of Saudi Arabia said, [1:37:05] we're the hottest country anywhere in the world. [1:37:08] I must say, I respect China greatly, [1:37:10] because it's amazing that with a system that, in theory, shouldn't work, [1:37:15] you know, we go to school, and we go to the best business schools, [1:37:18] and we do well in those schools, [1:37:21] and we read about free entrepreneurship, [1:37:24] and we read about all of these different things. [1:37:27] But you look at China, how well they do, how well they manufacture. [1:37:31] I mean, they manufacture cars so many that they actually have a contest [1:37:35] for who can manufacture the least cars, because they have so many cars. [1:37:39] You have to have great respect for China for the job they do. [1:37:42] Like them or not like them, you have to respect them. [1:37:46] So, precisely, you will be going to China in May? [1:37:49] Yes, yes, I'll be going. [1:37:50] We had a meeting, and I called up President Xi. [1:37:54] I get along really well with him. [1:37:56] He even approved the TikTok deal. [1:37:58] He said, I will not approve that deal to other people, not to me. [1:38:02] And I thought it was good if we could keep it going. [1:38:04] I like it because I'm the number one person on TikTok. [1:38:08] Can you believe it? [1:38:09] I put a chart up there, another chart. [1:38:11] Do you want to put another chart up? [1:38:13] Like we did with fake news CNN. [1:38:15] I said, you know, let's see what happens. [1:38:18] So we got a group of very big investors, the biggest investors. [1:38:22] And they really wanted to buy TikTok. [1:38:24] And I did very well on TikTok in the election. [1:38:26] I won the youth. [1:38:27] You know, I did tremendously well with youth because of TikTok and other things, certain interviews, et cetera. [1:38:32] But I did very well. [1:38:34] And I sort of developed a liking for it. [1:38:37] And I was told that it will never be approved by China. [1:38:41] You had to get approval. [1:38:43] And I didn't really care. [1:38:45] And then it got to a point where all of these very successful people were willing to pay a lot of money for TikTok. [1:38:51] And I called up President Xi. [1:38:53] I said, do me a favor. [1:38:54] Will you approve, please? [1:38:55] It's good. [1:38:56] It's good for China. [1:38:57] Good for us. [1:38:58] Good for everybody. [1:38:59] Would you do me a favor? [1:39:00] I know you said it was a hard no. [1:39:02] And I said, I know you said no to everybody, but you haven't said no to me. [1:39:05] Would you do me a favor? [1:39:06] Would you approve it? [1:39:07] It's good for China. [1:39:09] It's good for us. [1:39:10] You have a lot of big investors. [1:39:12] They're investing in China also. [1:39:13] They have a lot of money in China. [1:39:15] I would appreciate it. [1:39:16] He said, OK, I'll do it. [1:39:19] Nice. [1:39:20] It was very nice. [1:39:23] And they bought TikTok. [1:39:24] And it's going to do good. [1:39:26] And it was done with the consent of China. [1:39:29] We get along well with China. [1:39:31] You know, China used to take big advantage of us, but they don't take advantage of us anymore. [1:39:35] Now we, you know, we compete very nicely with China. [1:39:38] We put tariffs on China. [1:39:41] The tariffs got too high. [1:39:42] At one point, they were up to 145 percent. [1:39:45] And I was saying, no, put tariffs on that. [1:39:47] Put tariffs on for fentanyl. [1:39:48] Add 20 percent. [1:39:50] And then one day I said, what's China paying now? [1:39:54] Sir, they're paying 145 percent. [1:39:57] I said, 145? [1:39:58] That's crazy. [1:39:59] I got a little carried away. [1:40:03] So I got them down to 100. [1:40:05] Then I took them down a little more. [1:40:07] And I'll never forget, I took them down a little bit from 145 to 100. [1:40:10] And the fake news said, Donald Trump collapses on China. [1:40:14] He's paying 100 percent. [1:40:16] Nobody pays 100. [1:40:17] So anyway, we got it done. [1:40:19] And now we have a great business relationship with China. [1:40:21] I've always had a good relationship with President Xi, except for the COVID situation, because I wasn't thrilled about that. [1:40:28] He wasn't thrilled either, by the way. [1:40:30] But I wasn't thrilled. [1:40:32] But I have great respect for him as a leader. [1:40:34] And we had a deal. [1:40:35] I was going there. [1:40:37] And I didn't want to go during the war. [1:40:39] I said, look, you know, we have a thing called a war, or as they would rather say, a military operation. [1:40:46] It's for legal reasons I say military, because as a military operation, I don't need any approvals. [1:40:52] As a warrior, you're supposed to get approval from Congress, something like that. [1:40:56] So I call it a military operation. [1:40:58] And I have that going along. [1:41:00] And I'd like to delay it. [1:41:02] So we delayed it a few weeks. [1:41:03] So I'll be going very shortly. [1:41:06] Mr. President, we have few leaders here, business leaders from Africa. [1:41:09] And of course, we have His Excellency, the president of Sierra Leone. [1:41:13] What is your vision about Africa today? [1:41:15] Well, I tell you, it's got tremendous potential. [1:41:19] Now, I've been hearing about this for a very long time. [1:41:23] And I have a lot of friends that have bet the ranch on Africa. [1:41:26] They're very smart. [1:41:28] It's got tremendous earth. [1:41:29] It's got tremendous value underground, which is very important. [1:41:32] So do we. [1:41:33] We have the biggest, the most oil, gas, and coal and everything of any nation on earth. [1:41:38] There's a big advantage. [1:41:39] But Africa has tremendous value on its land. [1:41:42] And if they can unify and get together, I think it's got tremendous potential. [1:41:46] I have a lot of very smart friends that they're putting everything into Africa. [1:41:54] What do you think, Mr. President, is today the biggest mistake that leaders are making right now? [1:42:00] Not sticking to Africa. [1:42:02] Not sticking together. [1:42:03] I think that NATO made a terrible mistake. [1:42:06] When they wouldn't send a small amount of military armament. [1:42:13] When they wouldn't send, just even acknowledge what we were doing for the world and taking on Iran. [1:42:21] I never considered it very risky. [1:42:24] But war is always risk. [1:42:26] You know, a lot of strange happen. [1:42:28] Things happen in war that are very bad. [1:42:31] But, but I didn't consider it very risky. [1:42:33] I know how great we're the greatest military by far anywhere. There was nobody close. I didn't think there was a big risk, but there's always surprises with war. They can be very bad surprises. I mean, wars are lost. It should be one. Many wars are lost. You think a country is going to wipe somebody out and they end up getting wiped out themselves. So it's always risky. [1:42:52] But I think a tremendous mistake was when NATO just wasn't there. They just weren't there. It's going to make a lot of money for the United States because we spend hundreds of billions of dollars a year on NATO, hundreds of protecting them. [1:43:09] And we would have always been there for them. But now, based on their actions, I guess we don't have to be, do we? [1:43:17] Mr. President, that sounds like a breaking story. Yes, sir. Is that breaking news? I think we just have breaking news. [1:43:22] But that's the fact. I've been saying that. Why would we be there for them if they're? [1:43:27] They're not there for us. They weren't there for us. If you had one bet on the future, what would it be that the United States will, with good leadership, remain the dominant country anywhere in the world? [1:43:43] But you still need leadership. I mean, look at the last four years were so bad with the bad leader. [1:43:49] You need leadership. And, you know, in theory, you need to have that. You need the open, fair elections. [1:43:54] You need a free press. We have a terrible press. We have a very corrupt media. Think of it. [1:44:00] I got 96 percent negative stories and I won in a landslide. [1:44:06] And you know what that means? That means that the media has no credibility. [1:44:11] You can't get mostly bad stories, fake stories. They were fake. The polls are fake. [1:44:16] That's why I appreciate that one poll that I saw that 100 percent. She's never seen 100 percent. Nobody has. [1:44:22] But you have to have a free and open media. And when a media can give you 96 to 97 percent bad stories, [1:44:31] they write stories about it. Trump received 97 percent bad stories and I won in a landslide. [1:44:37] And that means very simply that the media has no credibility because that can't happen. [1:44:42] Now, I also have a voice more than most people. I can come up and talk about it and convince people without necessarily reading The New York Times, which is fake. [1:44:50] I mean, if you read The New York Times, you would think we're doing badly against Iran. [1:44:55] That's why he remembers that Navy wiped out 159 ships at the bottom of the sea in three days. [1:45:01] They have no air force all wiped out. They have very few missiles left. [1:45:05] Their drones are at a minimum. Their factories are gone. Their leaders are gone. [1:45:09] The leaders are all dead. They're all dead. Nobody ever heard of the people that are left. [1:45:14] And if you read The Times, you think we're doing poorly. It's so it's almost treasonous. [1:45:20] I have to be honest. It's almost treasonous. But fortunately, we have other media that's fair and honest and honorable. [1:45:26] And you have to go out and do some of your own talking because nobody else will. [1:45:30] You know the expression I have to sell myself because nobody. [1:45:34] Nobody else will. There it is. [1:45:36] My last question, Mr. President, is the same question I asked you last year. [1:45:41] What do you want your legacy to be? [1:45:44] Well, I'll tell you what. So I told you that I settled eight wars. [1:45:49] That means millions and millions of people. [1:45:52] Some of those wars were going on. One was 34 years. One was 32 years. [1:45:57] One was 29 years. One was 22 years. [1:46:01] They were long term wars and a lot of people being killed every year. [1:46:04] So I've saved millions and millions of people. [1:46:08] I mean, I know it doesn't sound right for me to say this, but I'd love my legacy to be made as a great peacemaker, because I really believe I'm a peacemaker. [1:46:18] It doesn't seem it right now, but I think I'm a peacemaker. [1:46:22] Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. President of United States of America, Donald J. [1:46:27] Trump. I love how he walks off stage just like he just, you know, threw the guitar down. [1:46:38] I was it was so funny in the chat as we were watching people, at least I saw one or two. [1:46:44] Where people were asking, why does he keep repeating himself? [1:46:47] And I keep telling you why. [1:46:49] And I don't know if he heard me talking. [1:46:51] I doubt it. But he told you why. [1:46:54] When you're when you're dealing with a media that ninety seven, ninety eight percent of the stories that they put out are complete B.S.. [1:47:04] Then that's why he has to use, as he said, my voice, the pulpit, the bully pulpit, as it's known, to make sure people hear the message he wants people to know. [1:47:15] That's why you hear it over and over. [1:47:18] And I was talking to Robin about this. [1:47:20] She's like she said something was so funny to me. [1:47:24] You often either have CDs or you have MP3s on your phone and you listen to your favorite band and you listen to it over, you know, if you keep playing it and then you go ahead and buy a ticket to go see him perform it live. [1:47:38] You already know the songs, you already know the words, you even know the inflection points when they're going to sing, you know. [1:47:47] The. [1:47:47] Guitar solos, you know, the piano solos, but you go hear them see it again because you're a fan. [1:47:56] That's what fans do. [1:47:58] So we get together and he has these speeches or he has his rallies. [1:48:02] Every one of us knows the guitar solo. [1:48:05] Everyone knows the songs that are going to be sung. [1:48:07] Everyone knows the lyrics. [1:48:09] Everybody knows when they're going to come. [1:48:13] Everybody knows what the entrance music is. [1:48:16] Everybody knows what the outgoing music is. [1:48:21] And so I. [1:48:22] Don't understand why some people still have that that thing where they go, I don't know why he keeps saying the same stuff because he's driving it home and this tonight, he even told you, I'm breaking some news, basically told NATO to go pound sand on stage. [1:48:40] I guess that's news. [1:48:42] NATO, get bent. [1:48:45] Next time somebody comes knocking on your door with a panzer or something, don't call us. [1:48:51] And that's the first time he definitively said that. [1:48:54] So that's. [1:48:55] That's one of the things. [1:48:56] And the other thing was, I don't know what was going on. [1:48:59] I saw somebody. [1:49:01] Somebody say something about people are moving away from Florida. [1:49:05] I'm like, I'm going to let that one go because today I just closed on a house. [1:49:16] And these people, I'm not going to tell their information, but might be the wrong day to tell me people are moving out of Florida because, dang, things went very, very well. [1:49:29] On that. [1:49:30] On that property. [1:49:30] So when I think SV is hitting me up with a text here, let me see, just, well, he's right here. [1:49:37] You got something that you text. [1:49:39] Yeah, I was just, yeah, I was just letting, you know, the other point he was talking about, he dropped the comm was Cuba is next memory said, oops, I shouldn't have Cuba's next, right? [1:49:49] Yeah. [1:49:50] I mean, people, people don't realize, I mean, Cuba, they can't exist as a country. [1:49:55] I mean, they have some a flag, but other than that, they don't have any way of being a sovereign. [1:50:00] And I think other than just like with Cuba, we're finding out how many countries around the world are sovereign by fakeness. [1:50:10] If you can't protect your people, Somalia, if you can't feed your people, if you can't do anything about building and resources, then you don't have a country. [1:50:20] I found it odd that he said that people he knows well are, are actually betting it all on Africa. [1:50:28] That was very interesting. [1:50:29] I don't, I don't, I don't even know. [1:50:31] People are betting in Africa. [1:50:33] Uh, so that, that was pretty good. [1:50:35] All right. [1:50:35] So I guess I'll see. [1:50:37] Good, good. [1:50:38] I had one last thing. [1:50:39] Uh, remember at the beginning of it, he, um, he actually used social media. [1:50:44] He showed the clip from CNN showing that he had a hundred percent, uh, you know, mega support. [1:50:49] So I love how he uses their own clips against them. [1:50:52] So, you know, you know, it's funny with that, you know, it's, it's hard for us all to believe it's a hundred, but he, I think he also shows that. [1:51:01] The. [1:51:02] The insanity of the media. [1:51:04] They don't know that it's overboard one way or the other. [1:51:06] And at the same time, all the panicans, all the black pillars, the doers, they're all, they trash everything. [1:51:13] So yeah, you got to reiterate it because people don't know how many people know what's going on oil right now. [1:51:19] And what I told you guys earlier, oil is closing or right now it's over a hundred bucks a barrel again. [1:51:26] And so it's over the weekend, all kinds of manipulations are going to happen. [1:51:30] And then boom, here we go. [1:51:31] On Monday. [1:51:33] All right. [1:51:34] Well, have a good night guys. [1:51:35] Thank you. [1:51:36] I'm ready for a nice rest. [1:51:38] Robin is waiting for dinner. [1:51:41] I think we had a couple of super chats in here that I can, I can talk to, um, two shows on a Friday. [1:51:49] Haven't done that in a while, but, um, tomorrow about probably about six issues when I've been doing the Saturday shows. [1:51:57] All right. [1:51:57] So let me just, uh, reference these two, uh, super chats. [1:52:01] Uh, what is, what? [1:52:02] What are the legal consequences for a government official not fulfilling their oath of office? [1:52:09] Well, it's supposed to be impeachment. [1:52:11] It's supposed to get tossed out of Congress, out of Senate, and you can impeach a president. [1:52:16] And Tim McCurry, this might've been one of his best speeches, relaxed, focused, and firm. [1:52:21] Indeed. [1:52:22] Imagine that how relaxed he was after everything that went on crazy today, all this stuff that happened. [1:52:30] He didn't look worried about it at all. [1:52:32] Something big is coming. [1:52:33] Definitely for sure. [1:52:35] Uh, a couple of late, late super chats. [1:52:39] Uh, Tania says Trump to repeat himself a thousand times. [1:52:42] I'm here for it. [1:52:43] Oh, me too. [1:52:44] And Chiosop, people are leaving Florida. [1:52:46] Iran is winning the war and this guy's legend in his own mind. [1:52:50] His TDS is bad. [1:52:51] Needs a dose of green pellets. [1:52:53] Exactly. [1:52:55] I cannot believe I just showed you the other day about the influx of people coming from other states into Florida. [1:53:02] But like he said, yeah, Iran is winning. [1:53:04] Sure, sure. [1:53:07] All right. [1:53:08] I'm going to go celebrate with the wife after our closing. [1:53:11] I will see you guys tomorrow. [1:53:12] But before I go, he said this himself. [1:53:16] We're going to win so much. [1:53:17] You may even get tired of winning and you'll say, please, please. [1:53:22] It's too much winning. [1:53:23] We can't take it anymore. [1:53:25] Mr. President, it's too much. [1:53:27] And I'll say, no, it isn't. [1:53:29] We have to keep winning. [1:53:30] We have to win more. [1:53:32] We're going to win more. [1:53:39] We're going to win more.
