[2:26] I think is maybe the greatest commercial plane ever built I said to Boeing what's the best one they said [2:33] This is the best plane ever built and you're gonna have the privilege of flying it and I have a privilege also of flying it [2:39] But this is the first flight we're going to the Teddy Roosevelt presidential library [2:46] Opening and that'll be very good. That'll be a lot of fun, but I think you know to be honest with you [2:53] I'm excited about the first one [2:55] It's something nobody's ever seen anything like it even you people with all your experience and all of your talent [3:03] You will never see anything like this. So they just completed it. They made it [3:10] Appropriate for a president that meets the security and all of the different bells and whistles [3:15] They put on very complex now, but it's really quite something and this is a plane that the United States of America should have our [3:23] Air Force one was [3:25] 35 36 years old and [3:28] It would be parked next to the new ones like this and it really didn't look appropriate for our country [3:35] so [3:37] We're very proud of this the country is very proud of it and you can do two things you can low-key it or you can show it [3:44] And I think the country should be very proud of it and it's beautiful and you'll see that in a little while when you board as far as [3:52] Things are going the denuclearization of Iran is moving along well [3:59] They've had very good meetings and we'll see we hit them very hard for three nights as you know [4:05] But we're getting along very well. So I call it the [4:09] denuclearization and [4:12] It's all taking place. It's all going well. The stock market is setting records virtually every day [4:17] The oil price is way down. We're down at 68. I see it hit 68 today. That's lower than when I started the [4:27] I guess you could call it an attack on Iran so that they never have a nuclear weapon [4:32] So the oil price is now lower the retail prices the gasoline is coming down rapidly and if you have any questions [4:39] Let's go [4:40] Mr. President, what's your favorite upgrade to the new plane and how much did it cost American taxpayers to upgrade the plane? [4:46] Well, it's very little relative to what it would cost if we did it a different way [4:51] So this was a gift from a country that's treated us very well [4:56] And they're an ally of us over in the Middle East Qatar and [5:01] I went to Boeing I said who has the best one they said Qatar there's no there's never been a plane like it [5:07] Frankly, we couldn't build a plane like this because we wouldn't be willing to spend the kind of money necessary. They spent top dollars [5:15] So the head of Boeing said this is considered the best 747 they've ever built and I went to Qatar [5:21] I said I'd like to use it for a period of time because the other ones as you know are under construction [5:27] They'll be here in two years and because you know the plane is [5:31] 35 years old so I said I'd like to use it and [5:35] The emir the meme who's a great gentleman. He said no no [5:40] I'd like to make a contribution to the country, so [5:44] It was very nice and we're able to do it in about five months, you know bring it up to the [5:50] presidential standard meeting security was and [5:54] You're gonna get it you're gonna get a kick out of there's just nothing like it [5:57] Hey, mr. President [6:00] Well, I you know, I don't get involved in my personal we have funds that run my money [6:12] Well, I've made a lot of money before I became president and they invest my money and I don't talk to them [6:18] I never I don't even speak to them so I have many people I don't know what they call closed accounts or something [6:23] You put your money in and that's it. I don't talk to them. They're big institutions and [6:28] and they run it [6:30] But yeah, I've had a great career in business. I've had a great career [6:34] I don't know if I've had a better career in politics or business, but I had a great career in business and [6:41] You know you saw the cash and you report the different things and what they do is we gave it [6:47] I think it's called the blind account, but they basically they take it and I purposely I'd never speak to any of the people that run the money [6:53] but they're at big institutions and [6:55] They invest in whatever they invest [7:01] Well, you know why I'm profiting because the stock market is going up. Everybody's profiting if you have a you have a 401k [7:07] How's your 401k done? It's about up 85% [7:12] Thank you president Trump. So we're all profiting. I'm profiting because I have a lot of money and a lot of cash and we I give it to [7:20] institutions I don't know if they know what they're doing or not, but [7:23] They buy a vast array of things [7:27] You've been meeting with secretary excess and general kane about potentially returning to an all-out war with Iran [7:33] Does this mean you've been unhappy with Iran's adherence to the MOU? Well, I think they've [7:39] Come a long way. We hit them very hard last week. I think they're fine. I think we're gonna. It's the [7:47] denuclearization of Iran [7:48] It's very simple and Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon [7:51] Otherwise all of this stuff that we look at all of these things that we do the country has never had [7:57] Activity like it's got right now [7:58] So we're building more factories and car plants and other things we went for years without ever building one car plant now [8:05] We're building many car plants. We're building AI. We're building we're building all over the country [8:11] 19.1 trillion dollars being invested the record was like two and we've got 19.1 and it's going to continue and when those buildings open [8:21] You're going to see something like the country's never seen before [8:25] That's why the stock market is going up every day. That's why you're 401k because everybody benefits when the stock market goes up [8:32] everybody benefits for jobs for everything and [8:36] We're creating more jobs. We have more people working today [8:39] That have ever worked in the history of our country. It's great. And that's before these places open [8:44] They'll be opening up over the next year and we have them coming into Taiwan. We have from Taiwan [8:50] We have more chip makers and the biggest the biggest company in the world actually the chip maker [8:57] But they're coming in they're building in Arizona and they just announced they're going to double the size [9:02] We could have 50% of the chip market by the time I believe office. You know what we had now nothing and then I [9:09] Got as a gift another gift. I said to Intel give the United States of it. They needed something. They needed some help the chip maker [9:19] I said give the United States of America [9:21] I'll do it for you, but give the United States of America 10% of your company [9:26] He said you have a deal. He said it's so fast [9:30] I said I should have asked for more, but he said you have a deal and that stake is now worth [9:37] 80 billion dollars [9:39] I made 80 billion dollars for the country in eight months. Does anybody talk about it? No have a good time [9:45] Have a good place. Enjoy the plane [9:47] Mr. President real quick question got DNI Pulte over there as the new director [9:53] We also know you have the task force set up on declassification [9:56] They'd be looking talking about international may be looking at some declassification [10:00] Are you able to give us an update on declassify almost everything and you know, by the way, we have Jay Clayton is going in [10:07] You know, Bill Pulte is a very talented guy [10:09] But he's just there temporarily until Jay Clayton and Jay Clayton is going through the process and Jay Clayton highly respected [10:16] And so is Bill Pulte, but bill is there just for a fairly short period of time [10:21] But while he's there I said you can declassify whatever you want [10:25] Do you think we're going to get some soon or maybe 20 I told him you can do it as fair [10:28] You got to ask him. All right, but I think it's a friend of yours. I think that I think that [10:35] Bill will declassify I told him you can declassify [10:38] Whatever you want. So bills there just you know for maybe a month or two months or something [10:44] And Jay is going through the process. He's got a hearing in two weeks. Highly respected man. Jay Clayton. Okay. Thank you [10:53] Not yet. You know what a bullet surprise a picture of the plane Margo are you taking care of everybody? [11:01] How's Margo? Okay. Thank you
