Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt Briefs Members of the Media, Jan. 20, 2026

[48:01] lot of people I think it's like a record so these are accomplishments we have a [48:08] lot of accomplishments and as you know this is the anniversary first [48:12] anniversary January 20th and it's been an amazing period of time we have a book [48:20] that I'm not going to read to you but these are the accomplishments of what [48:25] we've produced page after page after page individual things I could stand [48:33] here and read it for a week and we wouldn't be finished but we've done [48:37] more than any other administration has done by far in terms of military in [48:42] terms of ending wars in terms of completing wars nobody's really seen [48:47] very much like it I think it's appropriate that because Minnesota is [48:51] so much in the in the fray and I say to my people all the time and they're so [48:57] busy doing other things they don't say it like they should they're apprehending [49:02] murderers and drug dealers and a lot of bad people and these are just some of [49:09] the more recent ones that we have and I can show you some of the people vicious [49:18] many of the murderers these are all out of Minnesota just Minnesota I say why [49:24] don't you talk about that or because people don't know do you want to live [49:29] with these people international murder these are people that are living were [49:41] with their apprehended and either put in jails in their country from where they [49:46] came and the countries respect us and so they actually put them there in the [49:50] old days they didn't respect our country Biden wouldn't do this because he let [49:55] them all in you know if you didn't have open border policies of Biden none of [49:59] this all the things that we all the time that we spend talking about Minnesota [50:04] and everything else most of them are coming from out of the country and it's been [50:11] caused by a previous administrator look at this one after one boy these are rough [50:20] characters these are all criminal illegal aliens that in many cases they're [50:27] murderers they're drug lords drug dealers they're the mentally insane some of them [50:34] who are brutal killers they're mentally insane they're killers but they're insane [50:38] these are just in Minnesota California it's worse in other states it's worse [50:48] no Minnesota the crime is incredible the financial crimes are incredible and the [50:54] problem is because of the agitators and insurrectionists whatever you want [50:59] troublemakers but they're they're paid agitators and insurrectionists nobody talks [51:05] about the fact that 19 billion dollars at a minimum is missing in Minnesota given to a [51:11] large degree but by Somalians they've taken it Somalians can you imagine and they [51:20] don't do it a lot of very low IQ people they don't do it other people work it out and they get [51:27] them money and they go out and buy Mercedes Benzes and they come from here they have no money they [51:33] never had money they never had a life they never had a government they never had a country because [51:38] there's basically no country Somalia is not even a country they don't have anything that resembles a [51:44] country and if it is a country it's considered just about the worst in the world they come here they [51:49] become rich and they don't have a job I was told that Ilhan Omar is worth 30 million dollars she [51:56] never had a job she's a crooked congressman so here's another one and I have oh by the way we [52:05] just took out that's what these are all what ice is doing and it's a dangerous job these are rough [52:13] these are rough people weapons this one here is very bad I'm going through this because I think we have [52:28] plenty of time I'm going to place beautiful place in Switzerland where we'll be I'm sure I'm very [52:36] happily awaited for in Switzerland they don't know about this they don't have this problem they have [52:44] other problems but they don't have this problem look killed somebody and these are rough people [52:53] these are not this was all allowed into our country through open borders these dumbest policies [53:00] you know men and women's sports is dumb but to me having an open border for the world to come in [53:06] drug dealers and prisoners Venezuela as an example opened their prisons into the United States that's [53:15] why one of the reasons I fell so strongly against Venezuela now I'm loving Venezuela they've been [53:23] working with us so well it's been so nice and an unbelievably nice woman also did a very incredible [53:32] thing as you know a few days ago she's we're talking to her and maybe we can get her involved [53:39] in some way I'd love to be able to do that Maria is maybe we can do that but we're dealing with the [53:45] people invented the president and all of the people in Venezuela and we've been doing great the oil [53:52] companies are getting ready to make massive investments there they have more oil and even Saudi [53:57] Arabia there you go these are real these are rough one this is all Minnesota every one of them [54:07] this is one state out of many and these people are let's see yeah these are all so far people that [54:20] came from outside of the country they were allowed in by sleepy Joe Biden crooked Joe Biden whichever [54:26] you like you can call them whatever you like they're both right he's sleepy and he's crooked it was the [54:31] worst president we've ever had and we've had some bad ones too I can tell you all you have to do is look at [54:38] trade you're not getting bored with us right I hope you know but these are people that you have to see [54:47] strong-arm rape aggravated assault with a weapon and many other crimes gang member known as one of the [55:08] toughest people around these are tough people so this is what the people are trying to protect because [55:22] all ice wants to do is get them out of our country bring them to the prisons and jails and mental [55:28] institutions from where they came that's all they want to do they're patriots and they have to be [55:33] abused by guys like Don Lemon who's a you know loser lightweight I saw him the way he walked in that [55:39] church it was terrible I have such respect for that pastor he was so calm he was so nice he was just [55:45] accosted what they did in that church was horrible yesterday look at 24 convictions 24 times convicted [55:55] did not charges these are convictions so he comes from outside the country do you think he's going to be [56:02] good here convicted 24 times he's going to be good here right it doesn't work that way it's a man [56:10] murder one of many one of many all they want to do is get him out they want to take him out of our [56:19] country and we're met with paid agitators and insurrectionists troublemakers they're paid you [56:27] know when the woman was shot and I felt terribly about that and I understand both sides of it but when [56:36] she was shot there was another woman that was screaming shame shame shame right you saw it so loud [56:44] like a professional opera singer she was so loud and so professional she wasn't a woman that was hurt [56:53] like all my heart's injured she was a professional shame shame she's screaming shame shame I said that's [57:03] not a normal person that's that's a professional these are professional agitators and professional [57:09] people that want to see our country do badly but that's not happening because we have the hottest [57:13] country anywhere in the world despite this stuff look at this whole top of the line criminals they're [57:23] not going to be good they're not going to be well behaved here I could do I could do thousands we had [57:32] over 3,000 in the last fairly short well just in Minnesota what's the number 10,000 10,000 10,000 [57:42] criminals and these are serious criminals now how can a place with 10,000 criminals how can you have [57:49] a state and yet they're fighting us I like that guy keeps nodding to me do you agree with me I guess [57:55] I like him I don't know who he is but I like him he keeps nodding he says you're right [57:59] he's obviously a little on the right side maybe these are rough ones so this we just took this off a stack [58:14] we have many stacks like this like I could go 30 times what I'm showing you now relations with [58:29] Hezbollah that's nice why do we allow them in our country hmm I'm just looking at these charges it's [58:44] just pretty incredible many murderers many many murderers people that murdered so what what ice [59:03] does and border patrol is incredible too I mean they're Paul Perez and that group is incredible [59:10] mostly Hispanic by the way they're like 60 percent Hispanic you know they talk about Hispanic they're [59:17] mostly Hispanic right and they're unbelievable people and then they say oh we discriminate against [59:22] I love Hispanic they are unbelievable entrepreneurial they have everything I did great I did the highest [59:29] nobody ever got numbers like I got from the standpoint of being a Republican but even the if [59:37] you look at Texas I won the entire border along Texas between Texas and Mexico never happened before [59:43] nobody's ever done that before I did it as a Republican I did it I love the Hispanic and they accuse us of [59:50] all sorts of things 60 percent of the people we're talking about they're the best people we have and [59:55] they're Hispanic the border patrol is largely Hispanic ISIS largely Hispanic they're unbelievable people I don't [1:00:04] know how they can take the abuse they're taking rough they're taking rough people like this like all of [1:00:12] them we have so we have 10,000 at least I could have done 10,000 of them you're lucky I only did like a [1:00:20] hundred and this is just this isn't even the worst of the group they have murderers have some people we [1:00:27] can't use their picture for legal reasons but they're up for murder in their own country and we jeopardize [1:00:34] the case when we send them back we send them back and we coordinate with other countries a tremendous [1:00:40] amount of work all allowed in here by an open border policy of the worst president in the history of our [1:00:46] country a man that didn't win the election by the way got the rigged election everybody knows that now [1:00:51] and by the way numbers are coming out that show it even more plainly we caught him we caught him so I [1:00:59] just want you to know that it's uh it's a terrible it's a terrible thing here's uh the book on [1:01:07] accomplishments and this is something oh I'm glad my finger wasn't in that sucker they could have done [1:01:14] some damage but you know what I wouldn't have shown the pain I would have gone back what did you hear [1:01:20] that that was nasty but I would not have shown the pain I would have acted like nothing happened as my [1:01:27] finger fell off that was a nasty I think somebody did that I think it was him it was my man how were [1:01:36] you you didn't do it I know you did I know you didn't so um but here is the uh here's the book these are [1:01:45] all things we have I'm going to read a few of the samples but look at this these are all each line is [1:01:51] something that we did nobody did that before and it's big stuff too look we have the hottest country in [1:01:59] the world so I will read you a few we ended Biden's stagflation we were in stagflation that's a [1:02:12] disaster that's far worse than inflation as you know he had the biggest inflation in the history [1:02:17] of our country they say 48 years pick your choice but they had the biggest inflation in the history of [1:02:23] our country we we have it right down to a normal number now we're going to get it even a little bit [1:02:27] lower created super high what we've done with with growth is incredible we created super high economic [1:02:36] growth and America is booming it's booming there are thousands of businesses right now that are [1:02:42] being built many of the biggest factories in the world are being built right in our country they're [1:02:47] not going to other countries they're leaving other countries fourth quarter GDP is on track to pass [1:02:53] perhaps much more than five percent growth and that's despite the fact that we had a Democrat shutdown [1:02:59] they shut down our country and we had five percent nobody's in this room has ever heard about [1:03:03] five percent I think it could be twenty percent if we do it right if we don't every time we have [1:03:09] good numbers a raise interest rates you shouldn't in the old days if you had good numbers they'd lower [1:03:15] interest rates or they wouldn't do anything here they try and kill it they always try and kill [1:03:18] success over the last 20 25 years that's the way in the old days if you had good numbers the market [1:03:27] would go through the roof today if you have good numbers the market goes down but by the way we've had the [1:03:33] best stock market in history the best 401ks in history and we inherited a mess the numbers that [1:03:40] we inherited are way we're way up and now we brought them almost all of them way down we brought them way [1:03:46] down I mean I'm not getting maybe I have the bad public relations people but we're not getting it [1:03:53] across we inherited high numbers and we brought them way down and look at gasoline they have places in [1:04:01] the country now $1.99 a gallon $1.99 $2.30 $2.50 I guess the average now they're saying is $2.31 I mean he [1:04:10] was at $4.50 and $5 for periods of time and he went back to the Trump formula but he didn't do it [1:04:19] properly and he really went back to parts of it because they were you would have had $8 gasoline if [1:04:25] they didn't but he didn't do it properly had people that didn't know what they were doing core inflation for [1:04:30] the last three months is 1.6 percent 1.6 their core inflation was so high that nobody could even [1:04:40] calculate it under Biden real incomes declined $3,000 think of the $3,000 that's a year in 12 months Trump [1:04:51] real incomes went up by $2,000 and 3,000 and even in some cases $5,000 to tremendous difference stock [1:05:00] market has said 52 all-time record highs during the course of the actually the 11 months because [1:05:08] this was done on 11 months now we're now we are actually officially 12 months as of today 52 all-time [1:05:15] record highs that means 401ks did great I have people see me all the time policemen that guard us [1:05:21] really well and got to know him a little bit they said so you're making me look so good my 401ks through [1:05:27] the roof my wife thinks I'm the greatest genius that I'm a financial genius like Warren Buffett he [1:05:35] told me that he said I I think they have better returns than Warren Buffett right now but he said [1:05:40] all my life my wife has been criticizing me for not being smart financially now all of a sudden she she's [1:05:47] she loves me more but we added $9 trillion in value to retirement accounts saving saving many people I [1:05:58] mean they were going out of business think of it we added $9 trillion of value to retirement account [1:06:04] savings accounts in 401ks that's during the course of 12 months and I think it's probably 11 months [1:06:10] because I don't think they have it for the 12 they have it for the 11 added $9 trillion of value lifted [1:06:20] more than 1.2 million Americans are food stamps in one year they would have had another 1.2 million we [1:06:27] would have had welfare would have gone up and instead of investing $18 trillion in our country [1:06:33] now it's probably more than that but 18 trillion and having thousands of plants being built all [1:06:39] over the country you would have had thousands of plants closing all over the country and you would [1:06:45] have had disinvestment and you would have had welfare going way up you know if you look at snap take a look [1:06:54] snap what happened with that it was at 7 billion dollars and it came out to over 51 billion dollars [1:07:02] nobody has ever seen anything like it the past administration they had no clue or they were really [1:07:12] bad but they basically had no clue but they did have a concept I mean they're still trying to sell [1:07:19] the idea of men playing in women's sports you saw that in the Supreme Court I mean some of those justices [1:07:25] were fighting for him too they were fighting for him but you saw that just the other day in the [1:07:29] Supreme Court men playing in women's sport doesn't work secured a record-breaking 18 trillion dollars in [1:07:36] commitments for new investments Apple Nvidia SoftBank Oracle TSMC Johnson & Johnson Eli Lilly and Company [1:07:44] Micron AstraZeneca General Motors Hyundai Ford Honda GE Aerospace many many others I left a Ford plant a week ago in [1:07:56] Michigan that they were going to close two years ago and now they just announced that they're going 24 [1:08:02] hours around the clock making cars tariffs did it I don't know what the Supreme Court is going to do [1:08:08] I think it to me it reads so plainly couldn't be plainer you're allowed to do a license tariff is [1:08:16] probably less severe than what a license could be but think of it you're allowed to do a license and [1:08:23] then they have a clause at the end something to the effect or what is necessary something to that effect and [1:08:29] what is necessary with staffs I don't know where there's a case even there but we've taken in [1:08:34] hundreds of billions of dollars and if we lose that case it's possible we're gonna have to do the best [1:08:42] we can in paying it back I don't know how that's going to be done very easily without hurting a lot [1:08:48] of people but we're waiting for that case anxiously and we have tremendous national security because of [1:08:55] tariffs and tremendous income you know we have and by the way no inflation so everyone said oh tariffs [1:09:02] will cause inflation we have no inflation we're very little inflation Biden had inflation and he [1:09:07] didn't do tariffs we had a huge problem we had we have a 62 percent reduction in our trade deficit [1:09:14] so if you had a 1 percent reduction a normal president would have a 1 percent 2 percent reduction [1:09:20] everybody would be high-fiving had a 62 percent reduction next year we won't have a trade deficit [1:09:26] we secured most favored nation's agreements to slash drug prices by as much to me I think this might be [1:09:34] the biggest thing of all we get zero talk about it the New York Times had a story way in the back of the [1:09:43] paper a little story about it I think it's the biggest thing there is when you talk about health care [1:09:47] drug prices will go down more than ever before for any country because we was we were priced at such a [1:09:58] level that we were subsidizing the entire world big place the world we were paying 10 12 13 times more [1:10:05] than other countries 13 times more not 13 percent 13 times more a pill that was selling in London for [1:10:13] $10 would sell in New York for $130 that's 13 times more than that even but we secured most favored [1:10:23] nation's agreements to slash drug prices by as much as 300 400 500 and even 600 percent including with [1:10:32] Pfizer AstraZeneca Eli Lilly Nova Nordisk Gilead Sciences EMD Sironio and many others if you look at some of the [1:10:47] prices that are coming down where a price would come down $1,300 coming down to $87 think of it so [1:10:59] something that was costing $1,300 is now costing $87 and the fake news doesn't want to write about it [1:11:08] that's why I do this I don't like to do this to be honest with you but I do it because got to get the [1:11:14] word out we signed one big beautiful bill I call it the great big beautiful bill delivering the [1:11:20] largest tax cuts in history no tax on tips no tax on social security no tax on overtime we made interest [1:11:28] on car loans tax deductible for US built automobiles only so if you build the if you buy an automobile [1:11:35] built in the United States we're not doing it for Germany and Canada and different places we're doing [1:11:41] not only if it's built here we want them to be built here a lot of the Canadian auto plants are [1:11:48] closing and they're moving into the United States same thing with Mexico same thing with Germany and [1:11:52] same thing with Japan and other countries they're moving into the United States because of tariffs [1:11:56] because they don't want to pay the tariffs it's too much they can't pay the tariffs so they're coming [1:12:03] here nothing different than what other smart countries did but it works better for us under my [1:12:08] leadership it's not done properly but it's done properly we have again more more plants being [1:12:17] built than at any time in the history of our country past the largest spending cuts in American history [1:12:23] and that was true of my first you know we had a tremendous first term also we rebuilt our military we [1:12:28] had one of the best we had the best economy in the history of our country but we're blowing it away now [1:12:35] this when this stuff starts opening up you're not going to see anything like it probably ever again [1:12:40] we slashed the federal budget deficit by 27 percent in a single year think of that 27 you know you [1:12:49] could do it 2 percent 1 percent a half a percent 27 percent and that's with all of the things we have to [1:12:57] do all of the people we have to put on the payroll to get rid of people that are murderers again when you [1:13:06] see people in Minnesota that are murderers these people are fighting to keep them there and I say [1:13:12] to Christie and to Tom Holman great people they're working so hard look at the border the border is [1:13:19] now secure first time you know Biden said you couldn't do it you need legislation I had no [1:13:23] legislation I said close the border within one month we had almost nobody coming in now for [1:13:29] the last eight months nobody came into our country illegally and I find that hard to believe because you'd [1:13:37] think somebody because it used to be millions of people just poured into our country and the people that do [1:13:43] that are Democrat sort of aligned so I mean they're not doing me any favors we had nobody come in we [1:13:50] have a very strong border very few people coming up they're not going to make the trek because they [1:13:54] know they probably won't be coming in so it's not as hard as you think but I didn't have to go back [1:14:00] remember they said we need legislation to close the border they had millions of people coming in a month [1:14:06] we have nobody coming in and we're getting the murderers out murderers people from prisons and jails [1:14:14] many countries opened up their prisons and dropped them into the United States those are the people we're [1:14:20] getting out and we have a lot of heart they said you gotta lighten up on this we have a lot of heart for [1:14:26] people they came in illegally but they're good people and they're working now on farms and they're working in [1:14:32] luncheonettes and hotels and all and we're not looking we're looking to get the criminals out right [1:14:39] now the criminals and I think it's very important I mean I every once in a while you see a story we take [1:14:46] somebody he should be out because they came in illegally so in theory they should be but we're [1:14:50] focused on the murderers the drug dealers the mentally insane we have a lot of mentally insane [1:14:57] killers I mean you can't even talk to them be nice if you could have a little reason but you can't even [1:15:02] reason these are seriously people ill people you have a couple of countries where they were loaded [1:15:08] up their mental institutions and insane assailments were loaded to the gills they couldn't get they're [1:15:13] empty now but they're filling up because we're bringing them all back we know where they came [1:15:18] from and every country accepts them you know under Biden they wouldn't say they had so little respect [1:15:23] that they'd bring them there and they wouldn't take them they say get the hell out of here they would [1:15:29] we'd be bringing a plane in to land in a country and they'd put five planes on the runway so you [1:15:34] couldn't land the plane so they'd come back with the people that they were bringing back they don't [1:15:39] do that with me they do that with me they have problems they don't do it they accept them back [1:15:44] they're not happy about it but they accept it back cut a record number of regulations I promise to [1:15:51] eliminate 10 old regulations for every one new regulation instead we cut 129 old regulations for each one [1:15:58] added think of that I want to do 10 last with my first four years I did when we put on a new [1:16:05] regulation you had to cut eight this year I said you have to cut 10 instead we cut 129 so every time so [1:16:13] far can't remain like that I don't imagine I hope I can because we have so much wasted regulation stupid [1:16:20] regulations regulations where they go by California which is a disaster state with a with a governor that [1:16:27] truly is doing a bad job it's killing that state if he ever ran the country this country would be [1:16:34] Venezuela very quickly using tariffs slash the US trade deficit by an incredible 77 percent the trade [1:16:44] deficit is down and that doesn't include the last month where we had our best month we slashed a trade [1:16:52] deficit by an incredible 77 percent in one year with no inflation something that everyone said could not be [1:16:59] done so we had essentially no inflation in fact the last month we had very almost no inflation but we [1:17:06] slashed the trade deficit by 77 percent if you slashed it by 1 percent that was good again we did that with [1:17:15] tariffs and intelligence we did that with November 5th great election we secured historic trade deals to [1:17:23] reduce barriers on US exports with countries covering 40 percent of all US trade think of that American [1:17:31] exports are up by more than 150 billion dollars this year people said oh we're not an exporting all we do is [1:17:38] buy if you keep buying you're not going to have a country for very long so we increased exports by more [1:17:46] than 150 billion dollars investment in American factories is up 41 percent that's a record nobody goes 41 [1:17:56] percent up you go 2 percent up 1 percent up you go down by 3 percent if Kamala got elected the 41 percent up would [1:18:05] be 41 percent down we removed over 270 thousand bureaucrats from the federal power that's another thing so we [1:18:14] have you know we announced our our unemployment numbers call it unemployment or employment and they were very good but we could make [1:18:24] them great but we've slashed tremendous numbers of people off the federal payroll because ultimately if [1:18:34] you're on the federal payroll I mean we have we have jobs where they had 10 people for every job so we cut now if [1:18:41] you want to see some good numbers I'll put I'll hire a million people we cut millions of people off the federal [1:18:47] payroll I don't like doing that but the good news I don't feel badly because they're getting private sector jobs and they're getting sometimes twice as much money three times as much money [1:18:57] they're getting factory jobs they're getting much better jobs and much higher pay but all I have to [1:19:04] do is say like you know what the Democrats do all the time they hire a million people and then they hire [1:19:11] another million another million they load it up and it says oh they only have a 3 percent unemployment rate [1:19:16] it's a fake rate so with us we're proud of the fact that we cut so many because again I don't want to cut [1:19:23] people but when you cut them and they go out and get a better job I like to cut them and sometimes they [1:19:28] have to be forced to do that because you know it's like they want to stay where they are they don't [1:19:33] know and then all of a sudden they end up we have many cases Caroline where where people were devastated [1:19:39] they hated Trump I got caught from my very boring federal job where they had again sometimes 10 people [1:19:46] to do one job and they were very upset and now they ended up with a job where they get paid three times more [1:19:52] money they're ending up buying houses it's like crazy so they went from not liking me to liking [1:19:59] me a lot because they're it's hard to get we need people we need people it's one of the reasons I [1:20:05] mean I want to when you have good people on the farm or good people in hotels and everything else we want [1:20:11] to work with them as much as we can under Biden one out of four jobs added was a government job think of [1:20:19] that so 25 percent of the jobs added that's when you when you know that that's 25 percent jobs aren't real [1:20:25] jobs but again I could do that I could add 2 million jobs right now would have an unemployment I could [1:20:31] say just hire some more people I do the opposite I say get rid of everybody that's unnecessary because [1:20:38] that's the way you make America great again when you have you know all these jobs where people are [1:20:43] sitting around doing nothing and they get a lot of money by the government it's no good but that's what [1:20:49] the Democrats do they show oh we were at four percent unemployment that's a good number but they just add [1:20:56] jobs or they wouldn't cut they would never cut jobs under Trump 100 percent of all new jobs created have [1:21:04] been in the private sector think of that not one percent has gone to federal so under Biden one out of four [1:21:11] was a government job under Trump 100 percent of the new jobs created 100 percent came from the private [1:21:21] sector that's how you make your country wealthy and strong and good we inherited the worst border [1:21:27] in history and turned it into the strongest border in history illegal crossings have plummeted to the [1:21:33] lowest level ever recorded down 99.999 percent that means down 100 percent 99.99 now we want to find out [1:21:44] who that one person is for eight months in a row zero and these are government numbers these are not my [1:21:52] numbers for eight months in a row zero illegal aliens were admitted to our country zero nobody came in [1:22:00] unless they came in legally we have a big process for having people come in legally by the way a lot [1:22:05] of people are coming in legally they have to prove they love our country they have to prove that they're [1:22:11] not going to need welfare a lot of things they have to prove for the first time in 50 years we are now [1:22:18] seeing reverse migration where we're getting because we're getting all of these illegal people out [1:22:25] people that came in illegally many cases they're criminals in many many cases you remember when [1:22:31] they used to say that the people that come into our country as immigrants are very nice people they're [1:22:38] wonderful people they don't commit crime no they make our criminals look like babies they make our [1:22:43] hell's angels look like the sweetest people on earth the hell's angels are now considered a nice high [1:22:51] quality person I like the hell's angels they voted for me hey they protected me actually believe it or not [1:22:58] but they make our criminals look like babies these are some of the most vicious people anywhere in [1:23:06] the world they came from the Congo the prisons I know the Congo because I ended the war with the [1:23:11] Congo and Rwanda tough group very tough group they came from prisons in the Congo some of the toughest [1:23:21] meanest people you'll ever meet thank you very much they allowed him to come into America these are tough [1:23:29] people before my election 100% of net job creation was going to foreign migrants since my inauguration [1:23:36] 100% of the net jobs created have gone to American-born citizens that's a big thing in other words we're [1:23:43] now taking care of our people 100% of net jobs created have gone to the American one people before that we [1:23:51] didn't care designated Trendy Aragua MS-13 and the Mexican drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations [1:24:02] and we've hit them hard you've seen what we've done on the water we're starting to do that on land the [1:24:08] land is much easier actually water is incredible we did that on the water so that when you do it on the [1:24:14] land they don't go to the water nobody's going into the boat business right now I can tell you 97% [1:24:23] nobody ever heard of that before 90 they heard 2% 1% it went up 2% 97 and we're looking for the [1:24:37] 3% who the hell are the 3% they're crazy but we we've we've taken out almost a hundred percent of [1:24:48] the drugs coming in by water now we're going to be very shortly starting drugs coming in by land we [1:24:54] know exactly where they're coming from remove tens of thousands of illegal alien gang members drug [1:25:00] dealers murderers child predators human traffickers fraudsters savage criminals and others we removed [1:25:08] them from our country they're out they're gone in some cases they're so dangerous that we put them in [1:25:14] jail because we don't want to give them to their country their country doesn't do anything and they end up [1:25:19] coming back we have some that we're just they're so bad that we don't want to really release them we want [1:25:24] to put them in a jail where we know they're properly ensconced think of that remove tens of thousands [1:25:34] of illegal alien gang members drug dealers murderers child predators human traffickers fraudsters and [1:25:41] savage criminals why wouldn't you want them removed the reason is because these are insurrectionists that [1:25:51] are doing this work and you know they're going to make mistakes sometimes ice is going to be too rough [1:25:57] with somebody or you know they're dealing with rough people they're going to make a mistake sometimes it [1:26:02] can happen we feel terribly i felt horribly when i was told that the young woman who was uh had the tragedy [1:26:14] it's a tragedy it's a horrible thing everybody would say ice would say the same thing but uh when i learned [1:26:20] her her parents and her father in particular is like was a i hope he still is but i don't know was a tremendous [1:26:29] trump fan he was all for trump love trump and uh you know it's terrible i was told that by a lot of [1:26:39] people they said oh he loves you he he was a i hope i hope he still feels that way i don't know it's hard [1:26:45] hard situation but her father was a tremendous and and parents were tremendous uh trump fans i'd so [1:26:53] say it just happens it's terrible halted all refugee admissions to the united states including from [1:27:01] somalia which is a terrible terrible place and other dangerous places and we also stopped uh the [1:27:08] pirates uh because they get the same treatment as the drug boats so when somalia there's somalians you [1:27:14] know what they're good at that's about the only thing they're good at is they're good at uh pirating [1:27:20] ships at sea big ships so you have a huge oil tanker with millions of gallons of millions of barrels of [1:27:29] oil and if it gets hit by a big weapon the whole thing blows up and they don't want to fight because [1:27:37] if they do they're told by their insurance companies do not hand over the ship and they're not allowed to [1:27:43] have any guns on the ship that they're literally you have these massive ships being taken over by a [1:27:49] somalian small boat with a big weapon because if they hit the side of the ship the ship can blow up [1:27:56] to i mean you talk about a blow up bad we've seen we've seen some bad things happen and the insurance [1:28:03] insurance companies some of these ships cost more than a billion dollars to build and the insurance [1:28:08] companies say look we'd rather give them money than take a chance on a billion dollar insurance policy [1:28:14] but they don't have to worry about it because we hit them the same way we hit the people with the drugs in [1:28:20] their boat they don't know what the hell happened but all of a sudden there are no pirates at sea do you [1:28:27] notice we haven't had a boat taken in a little while came out of somalia really corrupt place it's [1:28:33] not a country they don't have government they don't have anything i i i always hate to see this ilan [1:28:40] omar she comes from somalia a backward country probably the worst country they say it's the worst [1:28:47] country in the world if it's a country i don't even think it's a country there's no organization [1:28:52] they don't have police they don't have military they don't have anything they just have people [1:28:56] running around killing each other and and trying to pirate ships but uh she'll come here comes and [1:29:04] then she wants to tell us how to run our country the constitution says that i am entitled to this [1:29:11] i can't stand her terminated all taxpayer funded benefits for illegal aliens and kicked 275 000 [1:29:20] illegals off of social security they were illegally getting social security 275 000 people i'm telling [1:29:29] you it's not that this is pleasurable but if i were an elected president this country was just was [1:29:35] going to be destroyed quickly very quickly i think within a year if you had kamala or a joe type [1:29:42] i mean joe was a disaster but if you had kamala he was the replacement i was up by like 25 points on joe [1:29:49] and they said hey let's get somebody else this never happened or i was a i had so many firsts you're [1:29:54] leading somebody by a lot and they say oh let's take them out let's put somebody that's like i said to [1:29:59] dana white the other night i said you know dana it's like you have a fighter two fighters one guy [1:30:05] is winning by a lot and they say oh let's take this guy out let's put a new fighter in the ring with [1:30:10] them that's what happened to me i was doing great with biden the whole campaign was against biden all [1:30:17] the money was spent against biden and all of a sudden i got kamala everyone said who the hell is she [1:30:22] but that didn't work out too well for them but never happened before we are about lots of firsts [1:30:29] designated english as the official language of the united states of america we did that very [1:30:34] powerfully and while we're at it we also took the gulf of mexico and now it's the gulf of america [1:30:44] because we have 92 percent of the shoreline it always bothered me i'd say you know [1:30:49] we have most of the shoreline mexico has a small percentage talks about eight percent we have 92 [1:30:55] percent and i said why why is it the gulf of mexico it should be the gulf of america i was going to call [1:31:01] it the gulf of trump but i thought that i would be killed if i did that i wanted to do it i wanted [1:31:06] to my people work so hard sir i don't think it'll look too good i'm telling you it's a good thing [1:31:14] and it'll be hotter than ever i said no but i decided not to do that i'm i'm joking you know [1:31:20] when i say that i was not going to call it the gulf of trump because tomorrow will be trump wanted to [1:31:26] call it the gulf of trump but he was rebuffed by his people my people don't rebuff me too much [1:31:34] the gulf of trump that does have a good ring though maybe we could do that it's not too late [1:31:40] no we have the gulf of america now it's great it's our country is proud for the attack on venezuela the [1:31:47] attack on the iran nuclear capability wiped it out i mean the first administration soleimani the father [1:31:56] of the roadside bomb al-bagdadi the father of isis who was rebuilding isis we wiped them out done a great [1:32:06] signed an order that will end birthright citizenship for children of illegal migrants you know that [1:32:12] case is in court right now that case was meant for the children of slaves all you have to do is look [1:32:19] at the years look at the look at the years where the cases were filed and where the decisions were made [1:32:25] they were right at the end of the civil war trying to say that you know the in china is making a big [1:32:32] business out of that they come to the country they have a child the american citizen they get [1:32:36] all the benefits nothing to do with that that was for the children of slaves and i hope the supreme [1:32:45] court so rules designated fentanyl as a weapon of mass destruction it is we lost i believe 300 000 [1:32:52] people last year this year 300 000 people that's like filling up one of those big football stadiums [1:33:00] five times it's not even believable i mean you could be in a war and you wouldn't lose that many people [1:33:08] so we designated fentanyl a weapon of mass destruction conducted numerous successful [1:33:14] military strikes against narco terrorists operating in our hemisphere including the water strikes drugs [1:33:21] brought in by ocean so i told you that we're down by i mean close to a hundred percent it's hard to get [1:33:31] somebody to pilot those boats very hard they have to be people that don't watch television don't read [1:33:38] the news and we just blew up their uh facility they had a docking facility where the drugs were stored [1:33:46] and now we have a great relationship with venezuela we're getting along fantastically with [1:33:50] the leadership in venezuela so we wouldn't have to do that this was done before before the attack [1:33:57] but we captured and brought to justice the outlaw dictator of venezuela [1:34:02] nicholas maduro who threw drugs killed millions of people in our country tremendous drug dealer [1:34:11] also sent millions of people into our country including trend de aragua the worst gang they [1:34:18] say it's the worst gang in the world they took over parts of colorado they just take the apartment [1:34:23] building they just took it away just took it away like we're here they cut the hand off one man because [1:34:29] he called the police who called the police i did you took my apartment from me boom no hand this is [1:34:36] what they sent us restoring law and order new category dc and memphis federal task forces deployed massive [1:34:44] numbers of federal law enforcement officers and national guard to restore safety crime down in dc is [1:34:51] almost down to nothing dc was a very very dangerous place and i think you probably know better than i do [1:34:59] i have a lot of people in the media thanked me for that but some of them found it hard to thank me but [1:35:05] you know dc is now look how beautiful dc is now you can walk right from here to a restaurant to right [1:35:12] through the center of town you can be with your child with your loved one with your lover your lover's [1:35:19] not going to be killed anymore so you can act like a real lover but you can be you can walk right through [1:35:26] the middle of the town and dc is beautiful again too you know you notice we took all the fences down almost [1:35:33] all the rest are coming down we took got the graffiti all off national guard's been amazing you [1:35:39] know we didn't tell them to do that that's not their job description but they were picking up garbage [1:35:44] and i mean they were great and i don't know to me that to me a town it looks better when you have [1:35:50] military people these are big strong guys or bad guys look at them and they say we're not going to [1:35:55] mess around but uh what they don't know is that we took over 2 000 people out permanently out of dc these [1:36:01] were career criminals but i feel much better seeing those people there i went in a couple of [1:36:09] times and had dinner in dc i walked right down the middle of the street i felt very safe a year ago i [1:36:15] couldn't have done that i would have been crazy to have done that secret surfers wouldn't let me [1:36:22] do it they weren't thrilled anyway i will tell you it wasn't like they were thrilled but but [1:36:27] uh we did it and it was great but dc is a great thing and we have uh virtually no crime in dc anymore [1:36:36] and before before we did this move it was and we could do the same thing with chicago you know we [1:36:41] brought chicago down 25 even though we just had a minimal crew there we brought uh we brought uh wisconsin [1:36:49] uh down we brought minnesota down way down even though everything's a fight you know because they [1:36:58] want to keep those people that are lying on the floor they want to keep those people in minnesota [1:37:04] but they really don't i don't think the real people of minnesota very corrupt place uh and the elections [1:37:09] are totally corrupt i feel i want it all three times nobody's won that state since richard nixon it's a [1:37:15] rigged state and the somalians vote as one group even if they're not citizens and they [1:37:22] vote as one group and you know you get 600 000 votes against you they all ought to get the [1:37:26] hell out of here they're bad for our country nationwide achieved the largest reduction in [1:37:33] violent crime on record so this just came out nationwide over the last 11 months achieved the [1:37:39] largest reduction in violent crime on record including the largest one-year drop in murders [1:37:45] ever recorded almost 2 000 lives were saved that's despite the fact that we took in criminals [1:37:53] under the leadership of the democrats and joe biden more motor vehicle theft is down by 100 000 [1:38:05] vehicles nationwide that's another nationwide the motor vehicle theft is at was out of control [1:38:11] and now it's very much in control it was down by more than 100 000 vehicles to a low a record low [1:38:22] began the process of eliminating cashless bail policies across the nation [1:38:26] you got to get rid of your sanctuary cities and i hope our people know that we're not going to pay [1:38:31] sanctuary cities we're not going to pay them anymore they are sanctuary for criminals they hold [1:38:39] criminals we're not going to pay they can sue us and maybe they'll win but we're not giving money to [1:38:44] sanctuary cities anymore as of the beginning of the month we began the process of eliminating the cashless [1:38:52] bail well cashless bail is where it all started it's a disaster and then other places i don't know if it [1:38:58] started in new york i remember it starting in new york so somebody comes in murders somebody and they [1:39:04] let them out no bail no nothing basically cashless bail means you just get the hell out and they go [1:39:11] outside we have one case where a guy murders somebody gets released and goes out and murders somebody [1:39:17] two people in one day no we got to get rid of cashless bail they got to pay got to have bail there's a [1:39:25] reason for bail long tested signed an executive order to bring back mental institutions and insane [1:39:32] asylums we're going to have to bring them back hate to build those suckers but but you got to get the [1:39:38] people off the streets you know we used to have when i was growing up we had in my area in queens i [1:39:46] grew up in queens we had a place called creedmoor creedmoor did anybody know that creedmoor it was a big [1:39:52] i said uh mom why are those bars on the building i used to play little league baseball [1:39:59] there a place called cunningham park it was quite the baseball player you wouldn't believe but i said [1:40:06] to my mother mom she would be there always there for me she said son you could be a professional [1:40:13] baseball player i said thanks mom i said why are those bars on the windows big building big powerful [1:40:22] building it loomed over the park actually she said well people that are very sick are in that building [1:40:30] i said boy i used to always look at that building and i'd see this big building big tall building it [1:40:37] loomed over the park it was sort of now that i think it was pretty unfriendly site but i'll never forget [1:40:44] i don't know if it's still there because they got rid of most of them you know they the democrats in new [1:40:50] york they took them down and the people live on the streets now that's why you have a lot of the [1:40:55] people in california and other places they live in the streets they took the mental institutions [1:41:00] down they're expensive but i'd say why does that building up those bars boy it didn't it wasn't [1:41:07] normal you know you're used to looking at like a window but this when you look at it all the steel [1:41:12] vicious steel tiny windows bars all over the place nobody was getting out it's called the mental [1:41:18] institution that was an insane asylum designated antifa as a domestic terrorist organization and many others [1:41:25] it is america is respected again on the world stage that's another topic obliterated iran's [1:41:32] nuclear enrichment capability and operation midnight hammer was one of the most successful anyone's [1:41:38] ever seen cnn fake news i don't know where they are cnn anybody from cnn here fake news nobody wants [1:41:44] to raise their hand anymore they used to argue now if you're with cnn you don't raise your hand but [1:41:50] they said well maybe it wasn't that successful which i really went and i was angry because these [1:41:55] pilots took their life in their hands two o'clock in the morning with no moon dead dark gun shooting at [1:42:02] them they went in with those beautiful b2s and every single bomb went down an air shaft and obliterated it [1:42:11] and cnn came out and said well maybe it wasn't by the same by a scam writer a scam writer who wrote [1:42:16] you know fake stories a lot of fake stories on other topics right because when we did it we said [1:42:23] that's a terrible thing you know the pilots came back and they said we hit everything they did a great [1:42:30] job then on top of that we launched from a submarine about 30 tomahawks on top of everything else the [1:42:37] place was obliterated cnn said well maybe it wasn't that bad it was turned out it was worse than it was [1:42:45] you know who could tell you that the iranians would tell you that because if they do anything [1:42:50] they're gonna have to start a brand new place but they did an amazing job that was a that was like [1:42:57] what we did with venezuela i mean nobody's ever seen a military operation like that ended eight [1:43:04] unendable wars in 10 months these were unendable wars cambodia and thailand fighting for years [1:43:11] kosovo and serbia the congo and rwanda pakistan and india they were really going at it eight [1:43:18] planes shot down they were going to go nuclear in my opinion the prime minister of pakistan was here [1:43:26] and he said president trump saved 10 million people and maybe much more than that they're [1:43:31] both nuclear countries israel and iran egypt and ethiopia were going to fight over a dam and i got [1:43:40] them to stop i still got to work it out because they put a dam up in ethiopia that stops the flow [1:43:46] from a little river called the nile i always think of the nile being in egypt you know beautiful nile [1:43:54] with the pyramids but they put a dam up you know who paid for the dam the united states of man's biggest [1:44:02] dam i think in the world they put a dam up i said how did you let that happen why would we have done [1:44:10] that we financed it this country would i don't know i don't know maybe it was a republican president [1:44:15] but i don't think it was i think it was a democrat but what a terrible thing so egypt basically [1:44:21] is they don't have enough water in the nile and they use that for a lot of things including [1:44:30] entertainment and travel and tourism and everything i mean i don't know they got a big dam i got to [1:44:35] work that one out now too armenia and azerbaijan president putin told me i cannot [1:44:43] believe you settle that war i've been trying to settle that war for 10 years armenia and azerbaijan [1:44:50] they were fighting it for many many years and i ended up getting the heads of the both countries [1:44:57] in my office the beautiful oval office much more beautiful now than it ever was and one sat on one [1:45:04] side one sat at the other said you know i've been the head of azerbaijan for 22 years and for 22 [1:45:11] years i've been killing his people and the other gentlemen and both very good guys said i've been [1:45:19] here for seven years and for seven years i've been killing his people and they started over there and [1:45:24] within an hour they were next to each other and by the time we ended they were hugging each other [1:45:28] and it's been a great piece you know should have gotten the nobel prize for each war but i don't say [1:45:34] that i saved millions and millions of people and don't let anyone tell you that norway doesn't control [1:45:39] the shots okay it's in norway norway controls the shots they'll say we have nothing to do with it [1:45:48] it's a joke they've lost such prestige got all that's why i have such respect for maria doing [1:45:54] what she did she said i don't deserve the nobel prize he does when she got it they named they said wow [1:46:00] that's amazing i thought president trump would get it president trump deserves it he ended up eight wars [1:46:06] how nice right good woman got all 20 living hostages returned to their families and the remains [1:46:15] uh they all came out we got the 20 living hostages we got the 28 hostages they have one left that we [1:46:22] think we know where it is amazing looked like we weren't going to get anywhere near that now they've [1:46:27] gotten almost and uh more importantly we got many more hundreds we got them all if we didn't if we [1:46:35] didn't do it you wouldn't have had most of those people would have been dead i don't know if that's [1:46:40] covered properly but you know the 20 is great they were the last ones i always said the last 20 are [1:46:46] going to be hard but we got them we got the last 20 and we got close to 28 of the uh of the bodies of [1:46:53] the dead and to those parents that was just as important as getting their son back alive they were [1:46:59] almost even more intent on getting they knew their son was dead they wanted to get the body i got them back [1:47:06] we just created the board of peace which i think is uh going to be amazing i wish the united nations [1:47:14] could do more i wish we didn't need a board of peace but the united nations and you know with all the [1:47:17] wars i settled the united nations never helped me on one war i mean i guess i'm not blaming them i [1:47:24] didn't call them to help but i got you know the presidents and prime ministers together we knocked heads [1:47:30] we got along and they liked me i liked them every single one of them nominated me for a nobel prize every [1:47:37] one of the wars among many other people nominated me for a nobel prize but putin told me i cannot [1:47:44] believe you got this war settled i've worked on it for 10 years because it's his territory rescued 83 [1:47:51] american hostages and citizens detained from abroad without paying a lot of money paid no money [1:48:01] apprehended terrorists responsible for the abbey gate bombing that claimed the lives of 13 u.s service [1:48:08] members in afghanistan the lowest point in the history of our country that was a biting disaster [1:48:14] i was getting out but i was getting out with dignity and strength we were the boss oh we were the boss [1:48:19] they wouldn't do a thing against us and this very stupid person got in and what a shame they should [1:48:29] have left from bagram which is the big military base which has hundreds of acres around it should have left [1:48:35] from bagram terminated visas of hamas sympathizers and deported pro jihad foreign nationals got nato [1:48:44] members to agree to raise defense spending to five percent of gdp from two percent and they pay the five [1:48:51] percent and they didn't pay the two percent and by the way i did more for nato than any other person [1:48:56] alive or dead nobody's done for nato and i think for the most part they'll tell you that i think you could [1:49:03] ask the secretary general about that but he said it a lot i've done more for nato than anybody and i [1:49:11] see all the stuff but nato has to treat us fairly too the big fear i have with nato is we spend tremendous [1:49:17] amounts of money with nato and i know we'll come to their rescue but i i just really do question whether [1:49:22] or not they'll come to ours you know i'm just asking just saying right you remember during the debate [1:49:31] just saying signed one trillion dollar investment in u.s military and next year we hopefully we'll go [1:49:38] to 1.5 trillion we're building battleships that are 100 times more powerful than the battleships of [1:49:44] world war ii which are the big beautiful those big beautiful things with the guns i said what about [1:49:49] bringing them out of dry down they said sir what we're building will blow them away it's think of it [1:49:55] these ships are 100 times more powerful than the battleships that you see on victory at sea do you [1:50:02] ever see victory at sea what a great thing that is to watch renamed the department of defense into the [1:50:10] department of war which everyone loves by the way signed landmark critical minerals deals with [1:50:17] australia malaysia thailand ukraine japan and many others we're going to have so much rare earth it's [1:50:24] actually not that rare getting it processed is rare but there's a lot of rare earth there's a lot of [1:50:29] earth around i can tell you withdrew from the corrupt world health organization where we were paying [1:50:37] hundreds of millions of dollars a year so we were paying 500 million dollars a year and china was [1:50:45] paying 37 million dollars a year i said why aren't we paying the same as china they said well nobody asked [1:50:53] i said china's got 1.4 billion people we have 350 million probably with all the illegals you know [1:51:00] china probably knows more accurately but we have much smaller in terms of the number of people we have [1:51:08] a much more powerful military but we have much smaller i rebuilt the military during my first term by [1:51:13] the way and while they gave away a lot to afghanistan the taliban uh which was just horrible seeing them [1:51:22] every year seeing them do that military down some dirty street is a disgrace but while they gave while [1:51:29] biden gave a lot of it away it's a tiny fraction compared to what we did i rebuilt the military and [1:51:34] now we're we're continuing to to build it and bigger and better we needed peace through strength but we [1:51:44] withdrew from the corrupt world health organization so i remember we were paying 500 million they were paying [1:51:51] 37 or 39 million and i said how come so i withdrew and they called we'll give you the same deal that [1:51:59] they had i said well it should be less than that because if they're 37 and you have three times four [1:52:06] times the number of people even maybe five times i don't know so it should be less but i didn't want to [1:52:14] chisel around and i thought about it so i could have taken 500 million to 37 and everybody knew it i chose [1:52:21] not to do because it was actually very popular when i got out because they were terrible and so i [1:52:27] chose not to take that deal first thing biden did is go back into it you know what he paid more than [1:52:32] 500 million so i actually called them i said you know you can buy it for less you can make a deal at [1:52:38] 37 there's no reason to pay 500 they didn't care they paid more than 500 did you know that they paid [1:52:45] more than 500 million i made a deal at 37 i could have had 37 they were public about it we'll give you the [1:52:51] same deal that china has for 37 and they paid 500 they paid 500 million dollars that's the way you [1:52:59] ruin a country and it's the same attitude that you know you have on everything else with these people [1:53:04] they were terrible the anti-american un human rights council we ended the un un relief and works agency [1:53:11] we ended and the fake paris climate accord which was a ripoff of america where we had to pay a trillion [1:53:18] dollars and they were paying nothing china didn't kick in until 2035 we kicked in immediately we were [1:53:24] supposed to pay a trillion dollars russia went to a standard of 1991 which was a dirtier standard but [1:53:32] we had to pay top dollar so i terminated that another rick we ended the woke lunacy and restored common [1:53:39] sense abolished all discriminatory diversity equity and inclusion dei policies throughout the federal [1:53:46] government and the private sector they're gone everybody they're gone terrible terminated the [1:53:52] green news scam and ended the insane electric vehicle mandate i love electric vehicles that caused me a [1:54:00] little problem with a man named elon but he understands and he's a good guy get along but i said elon [1:54:08] we can't have all electric cars just can't do it i like the electric cars i like his car [1:54:14] but uh in particular i like his car but we can't do that because some people don't want an electric [1:54:21] car by 2030 and to build the power stations all over the country would have cost four trillion dollars [1:54:29] four trillion that's more than any country has if you got china the united states and everyone you [1:54:34] couldn't do it and it would have taken years and yet they were supposed to be switching over electric [1:54:41] vehicle mandate some people don't like electric cars some people want hybrids some people [1:54:47] want regular gasoline powered cars we have more gasoline than anybody and now with venezuela we [1:54:52] have you know we have 62 percent of the market when you include venezuela so i ended the green [1:55:01] news scam and i ended the insane electric vehicle mandate now you can buy a gasoline powered car a hybrid [1:55:08] and you can buy a electric vehicle i mean if you think if you want electric you can buy it make a good [1:55:17] deal on them right now because they made a lot of them permanently stopped joe biden's ridiculous cafe [1:55:22] standards that's having to do with the environment so ridiculous cancel the epa's absurd totally [1:55:29] absurd tailpipe emission standard which made you spend hundreds of thousands it may for hundreds of [1:55:37] thousands of cars the numbers the cost numbers were incredible that the consumer has to pay imposed 25 [1:55:44] percent tariff for no foreign automobiles and a hundred percent tariff on chinese cars would [1:55:50] don't come into the country because of tariffs only because of tests we didn't have tariffs [1:55:55] you wouldn't have any card we have now more car factories being built in the united states than [1:56:00] ever before because of tariffs if they take those tariffs away china will eat our lunch they'll take all of [1:56:10] our garbage now there's another way of doing it but it's more cumbersome et cetera et cetera i don't [1:56:17] want to scare you but it's more much more cumbersome not as good not as good for national security as [1:56:24] this we have a perfect system right now we're making a fortune we've never been stronger and i hope the [1:56:29] supreme court does the right thing for our country because if they don't it's such a problem it's just so [1:56:37] it would be so sad we're doing so well because of tariffs and the people that are heading up the [1:56:43] lawsuit like there's a guy named leonard leo's uh bad guy and people that are very china oriented and [1:56:55] foreign car oriented and foreign business oriented but in particular china they're suing to get rid of [1:57:02] tariffs because they don't want tariffs like coke coke has businesses outside of the united states if you [1:57:10] have them outside you don't want tariffs but because of tariffs they treat us well without [1:57:15] tariffs they would treat us very badly as you saw for many years they respect us more now than they [1:57:22] ever have respected us by a lot and revoke the california missions waiver to stop san francisco [1:57:29] communists from regulating the automobile industry and destroying automobiles and the industry in the [1:57:36] nation i was with bill ford of ford motors i was with all the people at general motors the other day [1:57:42] and they are making more money and building more cars than they've ever they are doing so good all [1:57:48] because of tariffs and what i've done and they're building their plants all in the united states [1:57:55] we opened anwar for drilling that's a big deal launched a massive alaskan pipeline project to export [1:58:03] natural gas to asia made a deal with south korea and with japan that gives us money the likes of [1:58:09] which no nobody's ever seen before signed executive orders to end biden's war on coal and put i say [1:58:17] clean beautiful call i never say the word calls has to be preceded by the words clean beautiful coal [1:58:24] and put miners back to work the miners love trump i think i got a hundred percent of their vote [1:58:29] we banned trans genders from the military we don't want transgender in the military [1:58:35] ordered reinstatement of patriots expelled from our military with full back pay we had some people [1:58:43] that were terminated and they're coming back into our military fired the woke boards of visitors at [1:58:49] our military service academies the boards of visitors were run by radical left maybe communists [1:58:56] maybe not but they were still heavily radical left and they were bad for us signed an executive [1:59:01] order to remove anti-american propaganda from federal museums and national parks required the [1:59:07] federal employees to return to work in person or be fired we don't want them sitting in their home on [1:59:15] their bed working we want them in an office that we're paying for in washington dc or wherever it may [1:59:21] be and we've largely taken care of that mess that was crazy i guarantee you they're out on the ball [1:59:29] fields i guarantee you they're out playing golf and you can't run a country or a company that way i [1:59:36] think it's happening even so with countries and companies but we had so many of our federal workers [1:59:42] they wouldn't come into work signed an order banning all government censorship and restoring free speech [1:59:48] made it the official policy of the united states government that there are only two genders this was not [1:59:54] a tough one two genders can anybody guess what they are male and female i think the democrats [2:00:04] know that too but they refuse to admit it ban the use of puberty blockers hormone injections [2:00:11] and other chemical and surgical mutilation of children can you imagine saying this 15 years ago [2:00:17] that we banned the use of puberty blockers hormone injections and other chemical and surgical [2:00:25] mutilation of our children you know when i say it i say is do i have to say that i actually ask my [2:00:32] people today yes sir because people it's where the country went banned men from playing in women's [2:00:40] sports big supreme court case and i mean i i can't believe it some of the justices were fighting hard [2:00:48] for men to be able to play in women's sports a couple of them i can't imagine it but i think anybody [2:00:55] that rules that way should should lose a lot of credibility but we banned men from playing in women's [2:01:03] sports so all you have to do is look at the records look at weightlifting records look at [2:01:06] swimming records look at track and field it's not fair it's very uh demeaning to women banned [2:01:14] transgender ideology and critical race theory from our schools secured unprecedented settlements [2:01:22] with brown university columbia university and many other colleges including the university [2:01:28] of pennsylvania where i went the great old wharton school of finance to restore fairness and merit [2:01:34] we're working with harvard right now they've been very anti-semitic terrible what they've done and [2:01:42] we'll see what happens i i hear we have a deal but who the hell knows with them they have a lawyer that [2:01:47] wants to show how hot he is ended taxpayer funded student loan forgiveness for radical left and anti-american [2:01:55] activists can you believe it began the process of abolishing the federal department of education [2:02:01] and returning education back to the states and linda mcmahon is doing a fantastic job [2:02:06] ended joe biden's weaponization of our government and removed his hand-picked radical left marxist [2:02:13] prosecutors from the department of justice like deranged jack six smith he's a sick son of a [2:02:20] bitch they gave me the worst of the worst and here i am how did that happen how did that happen he's a [2:02:30] sick guy and leticia james is sick and alvin bragg is sick they're sick people and others fanny fanny [2:02:41] you can't call fanny she doesn't like it she wants to be called fanny fanny willis one can you imagine [2:02:52] putting somebody through that and then if i suggest that somebody may be guilty of a terrible crime [2:02:59] oh he's weaponizing government trump is weaponizing government it's terrible can you imagine they say [2:03:09] to me about weaponized i don't weaponize anything but what they did to me nobody ever went through what [2:03:15] i went through and here i am in a place called the white house it's a beautiful place who would have [2:03:20] thought right signed legislation to cut all taxpayer funding to woke and biased npr and pbs and they're [2:03:31] sort of gone now i guess i heard they closed up they were terrible they were so unfair they were so [2:03:36] terrible officially reinstated columbus day i like the name columbus day the italian people are very happy [2:03:44] about it remember when you go to the voting booths i reinstated columbus said that was an easy one [2:03:50] christopher columbus cut social security wait times by 50 percent serve 65 percent more social security [2:03:59] recipients by phone and are in track to doubling the service and performance compared to the biden [2:04:05] administration we're two and a half to three times better and faster slash va claims backlog to the lowest [2:04:14] number ever recorded created trump accounts starting with one thousand dollars for every newborn baby [2:04:22] this is something that's become so popular and i give mr and mrs michael dell dell computer uh [2:04:32] who put in six billion 250 million started with nothing and he actually invested all that money to give [2:04:39] to kids so that when they grow up they have an account that might be worth a lot of money it'll [2:04:44] it'll be riding with the markets and you know they can at 20 years old 21 years old they could [2:04:51] have a hundred thousand dollars they could have a lot of money that's going to be amazing but i give [2:04:56] a lot of credit to mr mrs michael dell signed a ai executive order to ensure the united states dominates [2:05:05] the future of artificial intelligence so we're leading china we're leading the whole world we're [2:05:12] producing more electricity than we ever have because i'm allowing every one of those plants to [2:05:16] build their own electric facility we're giving them very very fast approvals unlike los angeles with [2:05:22] the fire so the federal government i want to give a lot of credit to lee zelden the hardest approval for [2:05:28] the 20 000 houses or more that burned down in los angeles because they didn't have the water they didn't [2:05:34] allow the water to come down from the pacific northwest they routed the water into the pacific ocean [2:05:42] so we had no water there no no he had i would say open up the water open it up to the governor to the [2:05:50] mayor they didn't want to do it they want to protect the tiny little fish that's you know i said how can [2:05:57] you have a fish when you don't have any water it was just an excuse i guess but uh it's it's amazing we [2:06:06] took 20 000 houses and lee zeldon the the toughest permit is from the federal government within two [2:06:16] weeks every single permit was given to the people to build their houses then you have the incompetent [2:06:23] mayor of los angeles he's notable who decided to go to africa during the fire so you have this [2:06:28] incompetent mayor and i had it out with her the night when i got right after the fire i went there [2:06:34] she said we're working on it so that we can have everybody starting to build within two or three [2:06:39] years remember that i said you mean two or three days no i mean two or three years and the place [2:06:45] went crazy well they still haven't gotten their permits but every federal permit every single one [2:06:53] has been given a year ago and lee zeldon has done a great job and he's done a great job in the approval [2:07:00] of all these big plants and factories and all of the electricity that they're creating for themselves [2:07:06] i said to uh zuckerberg i said to all of them i said to jeff bezos i said to everybody mark zuckerberg [2:07:16] couldn't believe it he said you know where are we going to get all the electricity because you need [2:07:20] double the electricity that the curt the country currently makes just to fire up those big plans [2:07:25] i said well nobody can do that so what we're going to do is let you make your own electricity [2:07:32] nobody believed it and i said we're going to get your fast permit so we get them within two weeks [2:07:38] and they're coming up with some of the most incredible electric plants you've ever seen [2:07:42] so each one of those massive buildings ai or otherwise is building their own electricity they're [2:07:48] building their own plant and it's incredible many of them are under construction already they're going [2:07:53] to have uh we're leading ai and we're leading china by a lot established a maha presidential commission [2:08:02] banned many artificial food dives as you know issued new vaccine recommendations and created new [2:08:08] real food pyramid and bobby and dr raz have been incredible provided 12 billion in aid for american [2:08:14] farmers just gave them 12 billion dollars in aid because they got screwed by other nations and the [2:08:20] number of drug dealers have fallen every single month since i took office drug dealers are way down [2:08:27] in the united states and that's a small version of what's sitting right there that's just a small [2:08:33] version we took a country that was dead and it's the hottest country in the world right now and that's [2:08:40] after one year so let's go that's a lot of people please yeah go ahead thank you so much mr president uh [2:08:56] i have two questions for you one do you want uh your board of peace to replace the u.n well it might i mean [2:09:04] the u.n just hasn't been very helpful i'm a big fan of the u.n potential but it has never lived up to [2:09:10] its potential the u.n should have settled every one of the wars that i settled i never went to them [2:09:16] i never even thought to go to them uh they should be able to settle those wars they don't i i believe [2:09:22] you got to let the u.n continue because uh the potential is so great [2:09:27] and another one from brazil to be part of the board of peace i did what role do you expect him [2:09:36] to play especially in venezuela yeah and another one because they are you from brazil yes the u and [2:09:44] america sur just signed a trade agreement this weekend which is going to be the the biggest trade [2:09:50] zone prison in the world at the moment you are talking a lot about tariffs [2:09:54] um what is your reaction to that so two questions well i look i just think this i think we have [2:10:01] trade like we've never had before we're doing better in trade than we ever have before we're not [2:10:06] being ripped off by every country in the world like we were before uh we're doing we're doing numbers [2:10:12] that nobody's ever thought possible we're the richest we ever were it's because of tariffs and the proper use [2:10:18] of tariffs and we're also the most secure as an example iceland without tariffs they wouldn't even be [2:10:24] talking to us about it so we'll see what happens i think it's going to work out quite well right [2:10:30] behind you mr president how would you characterize your relationship with emmanuel macron and kir [2:10:35] starmer right now and have you spoken to them since your truth social post no i haven't but i [2:10:40] think i get along very well with them i mean they they always treat me well they get a little bit [2:10:45] rough when they're you know when i'm not around but when i'm around they treat me very nicely [2:10:50] and you know i like both of them they're both liberal uh they've got to straighten out their [2:10:57] countries uh you can't you know london is having a lot of problems and if you look at paris got a lot [2:11:03] of problems they have two problems immigration and energy they got to stop with the windmills and they [2:11:11] got to go back like uh uk has an unbelievable asset called the north sea norway uses it makes a fortune [2:11:19] they have a better section of it and they don't do it they could straighten out their countries and [2:11:24] it would be good but i get along very well [2:11:27] you uh told norway's prime minister are you from norway no [2:11:31] you look like you would be but she looks like she's from norway go ahead [2:11:36] uh you told norway's prime minister that you not winning the nobel peace prize made you feel less [2:11:41] obligated to think purely of peace well i lost a lot of respect for norway [2:11:45] and i believe and i believe very strongly that norway controls the nobel prize but you have to [2:11:51] understand i settled eight wars i've had uh every one of those wars every participant wrote i didn't [2:11:57] ask him to do it they sent in strong recommend you know they make recommendations for that but i [2:12:03] settled eight was no president's probably ever settled one war i don't know think of it i did eight [2:12:09] the reason i do it is because it's easy for me to do and i didn't do it for a nobel prize i did it [2:12:14] because i'm saving a lot of lives i'm trying to settle the final one i'm trying to do russia ukraine [2:12:20] and when russia is ready ukraine's not when ukraine's ready russia's done but they're losing 25 000 [2:12:27] people a month on average and i'm trying to get that one done but no i feel but i feel that [2:12:33] norway has tremendous control over who gets to know the nobel prize despite what they said how far [2:12:39] are you willing to go to acquire green you'll find out thank you mr president kevin hasett has [2:12:48] said that those two thousand dollar tariff rebate checks would be up to congress to decide whether [2:12:54] or not to disperse that do you agree with kevin hasett on that or do you think you can do that [2:12:59] unilaterally i don't i don't think we would have to go the congress out but you know we'll find out [2:13:04] the reason we're even talking about it is that we have so much money coming in from tariffs that we'll be [2:13:09] able to issue at least a two thousand dollar dividend and also pay down debt for the country [2:13:16] but we do a two thousand dollar dividend to the people of our country would probably set a limit of [2:13:20] you know income limit where it made sense but we will be able to make a very substantial dividend to [2:13:28] the people of our country i believe we can do that without congress last night on true social you said [2:13:38] that the british plan to hand the base of diego garcia over to mauritius and then rent it back was [2:13:42] an act of great stupidity previously you backed that bill is it now your position that the deal [2:13:48] should not go ahead i think that they you know when they originally were going to do it they were [2:13:52] talking about doing some concept of ownership but now they're looking to essentially just do a lease [2:13:58] and sell it and i'm against that you know it's a reasonably nothing like greenland but it's a reasonably [2:14:05] important uh area of the globe not to anywhere near greenland but i think they should keep it i don't [2:14:12] know why they're doing do they need money mr president uh with your support to the syrian [2:14:19] government most probably you avoided another civil war and a bloodshed in syria especially after the [2:14:26] fall of the regime i did a good job i did a good job the syrian government the last two weeks uh had to [2:14:33] use some force to to implement its force on uh specific areas and with your to keep the prisoners [2:14:41] the terrorist prisoners which are some of the worst in the world at bay so they they were able to keep [2:14:46] that he's working very hard the president of syria is working very very hard strong guy tough guy [2:14:53] uh pretty rough resume but you're not going to put a choir boy in there and you know get the job [2:15:00] done uh i spoke with him yesterday because we were talking about the prisons and you know what was [2:15:05] going we have some of the worst terrorists in the world in those prisons and he's watching [2:15:12] mr president gavin newsom is going to be at davos if he's not already there you're probably going to run [2:15:17] into him i presume that this is for him to raise his platform for 2028 but what do you anticipate his [2:15:22] foreign policy platform is going to be i don't know i mean i don't know that he's going to be the [2:15:26] nominee i know this i had a very good relationship with gavin newsom when we were you know in office [2:15:33] together i was president he was the governor of california we had a really he would talk about it [2:15:38] often and somewhere we just went astray i just i just hate the way california is being run we actually [2:15:45] have people leaving it's never happened before but i hate the way it's being run he and i had a very [2:15:51] good relationship they're really uh close close to the word exceptional but now uh we seem not to [2:16:01] president trump president you spoke earlier mr president you're out you've been hearing from [2:16:05] allies thank you thank you so much president trump cara castron over from lindell tv and you spoke [2:16:10] earlier about the 2020 election uh now that uh maduro maduro is in u.s custody and he was criminally [2:16:16] charged has any more information emerged that you could share with us regarding venezuelan election [2:16:21] software and venezuelan ties to tampering with the 2020 election and would you consider speaking [2:16:27] to maduro personally in prison uh in new york to get some answers on venezuela's involvement with the [2:16:33] 2020 election no i don't think i would be doing that i think my lawyers would be very unhappy if [2:16:39] yeah they've learned they've learned some things please what happens to the tariff threat to greenland [2:16:44] if the supreme court comes out and rules against you on the tariffs and well i'll have to use something [2:16:49] else i mean look you know take a look at the word license take a look at other things i mean we [2:16:54] have other alternatives but the what we're doing now is the best the strongest the fastest the [2:17:00] easiest the least complicated if you move ahead um with the greenland related tariffs on europe [2:17:09] you secured almost a trillion dollars of commitments from them to invest in the united [2:17:13] states does that go put out the window if that happens uh i doubt it look they want to they need [2:17:19] that agreement very badly with us they really do they they fought very hard to get it so i doubt [2:17:24] that but we'll see what happens we have a lot of meetings scheduled on greenland i'm leaving tonight [2:17:30] as you know davos and we have a lot of meetings scheduled on greenland and i think things are going [2:17:36] to work out pretty well thank you mr president will you uh still go to paris for the g7 emergency [2:17:45] meeting as offered by president macron no i wouldn't do that because you know emmanuel emmanuel is not [2:17:56] going to be there very long and you know there's no longevity there he's a friend of mine he's a nice [2:18:02] guy i like macron but but he's not he's not going to be there very much longer as you know and i [2:18:08] think you know i have meetings with the people that are directly involved not uh some of the people [2:18:14] you're talking about [2:18:19] thank you so much thank you so much mr president you know i've never seen this room like this [2:18:23] is this a celebration of the first year have you ever seen it i've never seen this many [2:18:30] i hope we have a very good i hope we have a very good structural floor you know this used to be a [2:18:36] swimming pool you're sitting over a swimming pool i could see that happening but this we need a good [2:18:42] structure here don't we have yeah thank you so much mr president happy one year anniversary thank you [2:18:48] and my question is sorry in on syria the kurds as the most loyal u.s partners facing attacks by some [2:18:54] syrian elements within the syrian government will you do to ensure the kurdish rights protected on [2:19:00] their effective forces against terrorism in rojava syria continue as the kurdish see you as a [2:19:05] president does not abandon his allies well i like the kurds but just so you understand the kurds were [2:19:10] paid tremendous amounts of money were given oil and other things so uh they were doing it for [2:19:15] themselves more so than they were doing for us but we got along with the kurds and we are trying to [2:19:20] protect the kurds that's correct ahead of your speech in davos can you give us a preview of what we [2:19:26] can expect as far as you know laying out the plans for americans to be able to buy homes i think more [2:19:31] than anything else what i'm going to be speaking about is the tremendous success that we've had in [2:19:35] one year i didn't think we could do it this fast uh think of it it's just now 12 months and you know [2:19:42] i say it often we have the most successful country in the world we have the hottest country anywhere in [2:19:47] the world by far and this country would have been absolutely stone cold dead uh and i'm going to be [2:19:53] talking about it i'm going to be because you know i a lot of them could use some of the advice as to [2:19:58] what we did they need energy that you take a look at their energy policy they're going to destroy [2:20:03] themselves with what they're doing with the windmills and all the nonsense they need energy help badly or [2:20:10] they're going to be in big trouble and they need immigration help badly how much longer do you want to go [2:20:16] i have i have a very i have a very important call with president erdogan who i like who i like a lot [2:20:32] all right one one or two more questions go ahead thank you mr president thank you mr president [2:20:38] the red blouse go ahead you talked a lot at the beginning of this about the economy some positive [2:20:50] economic indicators polling shows a majority of americans don't feel the economy is doing well [2:20:56] are you worried you're making the same mistake as president biden no i hope i don't make the same [2:21:00] mistake as him look i inherited a terrible i mean it's a great question because we inherited a terrible [2:21:07] terrible terrible mess uh between the border between all the problems the whole country was falling [2:21:13] apart and in 12 months less than 12 months i mean in 12 months we have the strongest border we've ever [2:21:19] had we have prices that are much much lower than they were for the last time we inherited very high [2:21:25] prices we inherited remember this inflation was at a historic high we had never had inflation like that [2:21:37] the highest inflation in my opinion that we've ever had prices because of that were very high [2:21:43] i inherited we brought down eggs immediately remember the first news conference they were [2:21:48] screaming at me about eggs i was in the position for two days and they're squeak we brought eggs down [2:21:54] to lower than what they were before and by the way they continue that way we brought the prices down [2:21:59] from when i came into office and from what biden had way down we're going to bring them down further [2:22:05] but the job we did is is a miracle one of the reasons i'm doing this today is to explain [2:22:11] we inherited a mess and we've made it a beautiful beautiful picture think of gasoline at a dollar 99 [2:22:19] in many states one dollar and 99 cents a gallon it was 450 five dollars in some cases six or seven [2:22:28] dollars we're at a dollar 99 and energy is so big that with energy everything else comes down but the [2:22:35] prices are coming way down and they're going to bring them down further but we started up here with [2:22:41] these guys we inherited a country that was broken we inherited a country and i said i have a very warm [2:22:47] spot we've done very well with venezuela and and by the way that even in itself is going to help us [2:22:54] bring down the oil prices i mean the venezuelan oil we've taken 50 billion 50 million gallons of oil [2:23:04] we've taken 50 million barrels of oil out of venezuela in the first four days we've got millions of [2:23:13] barrels of oil left we're selling it on the open market we're bringing down oil prices incredibly and [2:23:20] when they come down and they've already come down again one dollar and 99 cents a gallon for oil nobody [2:23:28] thought they'd ever see all right one or two more go ahead go go go yes i want to ask you about iran [2:23:40] is the military option still on the table and can you assure us that the killing in iran has stopped [2:23:46] and wonder when we got to your peace council which members have to pay one so with iran are you from [2:23:51] iran no i cover the white house where are you from i'm palestinian american so with iran they were [2:23:58] going to hang 837 people and i let them be known that and we let them know that if that happens that [2:24:05] will be a very bad day for them and they decided not to do it they didn't hang the people i can't [2:24:11] tell you what's going to happen in the future but supposedly they've taken that off the table [2:24:15] but they were going to last week they were going to hang on thursday or wednesday one they were going [2:24:20] to hang hang i think 837 people and they didn't hang anybody so we're just going to have to see what [2:24:28] happens with iran is the military option okay thank you thank you go ahead right here thank you mr [2:24:46] president um you promised during your second inaugural to always put america first i'm curious how would [2:24:52] you winning the nobel peace prize improve the lives of average everyday americans why is this prize [2:24:58] so important it wouldn't uh improve the lives of any what what improved the lives of people [2:25:05] are people that are living i saved probably tens of millions of lives in the wars you know if you add [2:25:10] up the numbers just just if you look at uh if you look at any one of those wars you're talking about [2:25:16] millions of people you multiply times eight but when you look at india and pakistan that could have [2:25:22] been 10 15 20 million people could have been more than that so i saved millions of people so that to me is [2:25:28] the big thing you suggested a moment ago that perhaps the reason why a positive story about the [2:25:37] economy isn't getting through is because of you know bad communications people but are average [2:25:42] americans wrong to still feel high prices and how much longer does the white house hope that they [2:25:48] so i think a lot of people a lot of people are listening to the fake news a little bit and i'm not [2:25:53] blaming anybody i think i i blame ourselves i think we've done a much better job than we're able to [2:25:58] promote we're not promoting we're doing a great job and we're sort of letting the promotion take care [2:26:04] of itself one of the reasons i'm doing this news conference i think it's important we have taken [2:26:09] a mess and made it really good it's going to get even better but if you look at prices from [2:26:16] a year or a year and a half ago you look at the biden prices they were way up through the sky [2:26:21] and you know they use the word affordability they just say affordability and they don't talk about it [2:26:26] they created the affordability problem and we have we are solving it we have solved a lot of it [2:26:32] again everybody agrees in this room i think gasoline prices have come per gallon way down when that [2:26:40] happens everything else comes down but they've come down way down uh many of the groceries have come way [2:26:45] down it's all happening and it's happening strong but if you go back a year a year and a half two years [2:26:51] take a look at those prices and look at the prices now [2:26:57] mr president you made a condition where are you from i'm from spain um nice place thank you uh you [2:27:08] made a condition that uh the political prisoners should be freed it seems that they are not being [2:27:13] as fast as they promised in the beginning would that be an issue for the current government they've [2:27:17] agreed that they're going to let uh i guess most of them out depends on what they did but they have [2:27:24] released a lot of they have a lot released a lot of political prisoners in venezuela [2:27:30] president earlier on last year you had mentioned you had indicated that you want to take back the [2:27:36] panama canal i know we've looked we've heard a lot about greenland is that still on the table i don't want [2:27:41] to tell you that sort of i must i must sort of that's sort of okay one more uh yes blonde blue [2:27:55] yes go ahead ma'am go ahead with the blue holding the computer if a consequence of your determination [2:28:04] to take control of greenland is the ultimate breakup of the nato alliance is that a price you're willing to [2:28:09] pay uh you mean the breakup of of it's very interesting so i think something's going to happen [2:28:17] that's going to be very good for everybody nobody's done more for nato than i have as i said before [2:28:25] in every way getting them to go up to five percent of gdp was something that nobody thought was [2:28:32] well and pay at two percent they weren't paying at five percent they are paying and they're buying a lot [2:28:39] a lot of things from us and they're giving them i guess to ukraine that's up to them but they're [2:28:42] giving them to whoever they're giving them to but they're buying a lot i think that we will work [2:28:48] something out when nato is going to be very happy and where we're going to be very happy but we need [2:28:53] it for security purposes we need it for national security and even world security it's very important [2:28:58] how about it very much first of all last year you told me that you believe that the reason you won [2:29:05] election is because god put you in this place so that you could save the world looking back one [2:29:11] year do you feel like god is proud of the effort that you i do actually i think god is very proud of [2:29:16] the job i've done and that includes for religion you know we're protecting a lot of people that are [2:29:22] being killed christians and jewish people and lots of people are being protected by me that wouldn't be [2:29:29] protected by another type of president uh no i think uh i think a lot of people are very proud of the job [2:29:35] we've done we've had an amazing year this has been one of the greatest years even some people that [2:29:41] wouldn't necessarily love me instinctively they're saying this was an incredible year we've had an [2:29:46] incredible year economically uh look at our border our border was a disaster people poured it was an [2:29:53] invasion into our country of a lot of very bad people good people too but a lot of very bad people from [2:30:00] prisons and drug dealers and gangs and horrible people murderers thousands and thousands of [2:30:07] murders allowed into our country and we now have the strongest border of any country there's probably [2:30:13] not a country i guess north korea is a pretty strong border by the way but there's not a country in the [2:30:19] world that has a border like we do and we took it from the worst border we had the worst border in the [2:30:24] world now we have one of the strongest borders one more one more question you said you're confident [2:30:32] something's going to get worked out in greenland but greenlanders have made it clear they don't [2:30:36] want to be part of the u.s well i haven't i haven't right to take away that self-determination when i [2:30:40] speak to them i'm sure they'll be thrilled [2:30:46] mr president are you committed to keeping the u.s in nato i've i've had a such a good relationship [2:30:53] i've made it so much better so much stronger it's so good now nato is so much stronger now [2:30:59] i don't agree with a lot of the things they've done but that was done before i got there [2:31:05] i think nato has been good sometimes it's overrated sometimes it's not but we have a strong nato [2:31:11] when i came here we had a weak nato we had a nato at two percent and they weren't paying you had a [2:31:16] uh nothing nato uh nato's whether you like it or not it's only as good as we are if nato doesn't [2:31:24] have us nato is not very strong yes go ahead greatly appreciate it sir we've heard a long list of [2:31:39] accomplishments from the last year could you cherry pick the top three and then looking forward what [2:31:43] are your three most important priorities of 2026 so i think the building of a really powerful military [2:31:49] has been a great achievement and that would include the venezuela thing that would include [2:31:53] the attack on iran and the wiping out of the nuclear threat i think that's been really amazing [2:32:01] what we've done militarily i think what we've done in business has been incredible we have 18 [2:32:06] trillion dollars coming in plants are being built all over the thousands of plants are being built all [2:32:11] over the country 18 trillion is a record no country has ever come anywhere even close to that i think [2:32:16] that's a record and i think uh that uh most favored nations for drugs is something that nobody thought [2:32:24] they'd be able to get tariffs helped me there because the nations would have never gone along with [2:32:28] it if i wasn't able to say if you don't go along with it we're going to put a 10 or 15 or 20 percent [2:32:33] tariff on your nation and they went along and our drug prices are going to come down at numbers never [2:32:39] even seen before never even thought possible before so those would be three things thank you thank you [2:32:44] how was the game
