"We're going up to a place called Syracuse, and we're going to get some wonderful people elected. This is Iron Mike Tyson. I won't be fighting him today, but I've been his fan for a long time. We've been friends for a long time. Iron Mike, and nobody liked him. He was the champ. He was a real champ."

[0:00] We're going up to a place called Syracuse, and we're going to get some wonderful people [0:19] elected. This is Iron Mike Tyson. I won't be fighting him today, but I've been his fan [0:26] for a long time. We've been friends for a long time. Iron Mike, and nobody liked him. [0:31] He was the champ. He was a real champ. People were afraid to fight him. They were afraid [0:35] to fight him. He was something special. So he's going with us to Syracuse, and we're fighting [0:41] for a great gentleman. You know, Bruce Blakeman, and a couple of congressmen, and we think we [0:48] have a chance at the Congress, too, also. The two. And we'll have a good time. We have [0:53] a big audience. We've been sold out at every arena. And, Mike, every single arena, we have [1:00] a line waiting, trying to get in. It's been great. And they'll be happy to see Mike. [1:05] Go ahead. [1:06] Mr. President, what do you think about the attack on Ben Khaled, Khaled King Airport in [1:17] Saudi? [1:21] Mr. President, I wrote you a thank you card, sir. I don't know if you're allowed to take [1:26] it. Thank you. Secretary. [1:29] The President, she's a great person. So that's right. Katie is going to be the press secretary. [1:37] She's a friend of most of you. I know she likes people. She likes all of you. [1:40] Actually, I don't know if that's good or bad. But we just hired a new press secretary. [1:45] And she's going to be, I think, terrific. [1:48] Mr. President, do you want the execution of the Fort Hood shooter to be live streamed? [1:54] And are you worried that the video would be used as propaganda to radicalize? [1:58] Well, they're making a determination about that. But he will be killed. He will be through [2:03] firing squad. He killed 13, 14 people, badly wounded 20-some-odd people. And he's totally [2:11] nuts. So I really don't care how he goes as long as he goes. And I think that the death penalty [2:17] is a very worthy way of going for him. [2:20] Are you going to watch it? Are you going to watch it? [2:23] The President, as he walked into a room, he started killing everybody. [2:26] The Pressure of some of these reports about Kimberly Guilfoyle, your ambassador to Greece, [2:32] she seems to have been... [2:33] The President, I just heard about it. Too bad. I mean, I don't know. She's an ambassador. [2:37] I just heard a little bit about it. I don't know too much. But she was always very nice. [2:42] The Pressure of some of these reports that President Biden just said that you are weak [2:49] because of that. [2:50] The President, by the way, I think you heard about the oil deal with Russia. That is a [2:54] big deal. That is massive amounts of oil coming into our country. And I want to thank [2:59] President Putin to be honest with you. We have massive amounts of oil being coming into [3:05] our country. And it's diesel, which is what we want. So thank you. [3:08] The Pressure of this. [3:10] The President, Zelensky. Zelensky, you're weak because of it. He just criticized you. [3:14] The President, that's the last one. [3:15] Zelensky, Ukrainian President, just say you are weak because of the deal. [3:18] Okay. Go ahead. [3:19] What is your position about the attack on Khalid Airport in Saudi Arabia? [3:26] What about it? [3:28] I'm not asking about the attack on the Riyadh Airport in Saudi Arabia. [3:35] Not good. It's not a good thing. [3:36] I'm not happy. [3:38] Why is your reaction tied up to the midterm election? [3:48] Why not acting now with Iran? [3:50] Well, we may. We'll see. [3:51] But I think that they're failing badly. [3:55] Their country is failing badly. [3:57] Their military is defeated. [3:59] They have no navy. They have no air force. [4:01] They have 300 percent inflation. [4:04] And Iran is in very bad shape. [4:09] The Press is a weak move by a strong partner that will only prolong the war. [4:17] Is this emboldened by a strong partner that will only prolong the war? [4:21] The President, we are a strong partner. [4:22] The Press is a great move by a strong partner that will only prolong the war. [4:24] Well, we need oil for the world. [4:25] And this is diesel, which is what we need. [4:29] So we're very happy to get it. [4:31] We're very happy to get it. [4:34] Look, we need it. Oil prices are already dropping like a rock. [4:38] So we're very happy to get it. [4:41] Mr. President, did you firstly authorize or approve the execution, the live stream execution [4:49] of the forthoods? [4:50] Did I approve? [4:51] Absolutely, I approve. [4:52] The live stream. [4:53] The live stream. [4:54] The live stream. [4:55] Did you discuss the plane? [4:56] Did you discuss the plane? [4:57] Did you discuss the plane? [4:58] Did you discuss the plane? [4:59] Are you planning to meet her in the G20? [5:01] I have a great relationship with her. [5:03] Are you going to meet her in December? [5:04] Probably, yeah. [5:05] Mr. President, on the earthquake, you're having a great earthquake. [5:10] Mr. President, Mike Ditka, he was a great guy. [5:57] He was with me all the way. [5:59] He was tough. [6:00] Mike Ditka, that's a sad one. [6:02] You just tell me that now for the first time. [6:05] They heard about it. [6:06] Wow. [6:07] He was great. [6:09] He was great. [6:10] He was a big supporter of mine. [6:12] He won the Super Bowl in 86. [6:14] Yeah, no, he was a winner. [6:15] He was a tough cookie. [6:16] He was great. [6:17] The hurricane! [6:18] The hurricane! [6:19] The hurricane! [6:20] The hurricane! [6:21] The hurricane!
