Trump Says US Will Leave Iran Within Two to Three Weeks (Full Q&A)

[0:00] Mr. President, as you know, there's issues right now [0:03] with DHS not being funded. [0:05] Coast Guard is one of them, which is a very important, [0:08] especially with things going on concerning the moves [0:11] and here in our own country. [0:13] You have power to transfer control [0:16] from the Department of Homeland Security to the Navy. [0:20] Are you concerned about that? [0:21] The President No, I have a lot of powers to do things. [0:23] And we use the powers where appropriate. [0:26] Sometimes you don't have to use those powers. [0:28] They're a little severe. [0:30] And then people accuse me of being a king. [0:32] You see, the king, this is the new one. [0:35] They've been trying for a long time, [0:38] including four years where I was out of office [0:40] watching how badly this country was run. [0:43] But they've been trying for a long time. [0:45] You know, what they really are doing [0:47] is they want to have people coming into our country. [0:49] They want to have open borders. [0:50] They want to have criminals coming into our country. [0:53] They want to have people unchecked, [0:55] unvetted coming into our country [0:57] that you can look at them and say, this is not good. [1:00] And that's what happened. [1:01] They allowed 25 million people into our country. [1:03] Many of those people were criminals. [1:05] Many of them were drug dealers and murderers [1:08] and people that were let out of mental institutions, [1:13] prison populations in some countries. [1:15] The Congo, almost its entire prison population [1:19] was allowed to come into the United States of America. [1:23] The Congo, many of the countries in South America, [1:27] they emptied their prisons out into our country. [1:29] This was under Biden. [1:31] And nobody can tell me that's a good thing. [1:33] And yet, they haven't changed their ways [1:35] because if they ever took power, [1:36] they would open up the borders [1:38] and they would let people pour in and destroy our country. [1:40] So I have many powers, but I don't have to use them. [1:43] I mean, only in severe cases. [1:44] Yeah. [1:45] The Press- Mr. President, thank you [1:48] for being able to sign the executive order [1:50] to pay the TSA agents. [1:52] Why not do the same for FEMA [1:54] and other agencies within the Department of Homeland Security? [1:56] The President- Well, FEMA is different because FEMA, [1:58] I really believe that it's fine, [2:00] but I think it's very inefficient. [2:02] I think, you know, [2:03] we have smart governors. [2:04] And one way to tell whether or not they're smart [2:07] is how well they do. [2:09] FEMA is a very expensive way of trying to put out a problem. [2:15] But what I'd rather do is let the states do it [2:17] and help them financially, but let the states do it. [2:20] In other words, you'll have a hurricane in Florida [2:23] and people who come from Alaska, [2:25] they haven't been to Florida. [2:27] By the time they get used to it, [2:28] you know, problem can be solved. [2:30] So I've never been a big fan of FEMA. [2:32] I like to keep it local. [2:33] I like to see governors and neighboring states [2:36] help each other, as opposed to FEMA. [2:38] FEMA is very expensive. [2:41] And it really doesn't get the job done. [2:42] You know, North Carolina, they did a terrible job [2:45] until I became elected a second time. [2:48] And I went and, you know, we had that tremendous water flood. [2:51] There was a water hurricane, the likes of which nobody has seen. [2:54] Land areas that never had lakes all of a sudden had lakes [2:58] that you couldn't even get to it. [2:59] And actually, we were helped by Elon Musk with the communication [3:02] with his great communication system that worked very well. [3:06] We were very lucky, saved a lot of lives. [3:08] But, no, I, we got to do things right. [3:13] And if we don't do them right, we shouldn't do them at all. [3:16] Yeah, please. [3:16] The Press Thank you, Mr. President. [3:19] You said today that's been working [3:21] and soon the stock market closed much higher. [3:23] Do you have thoughts on that? [3:24] And also, a judge just ordered you to stop construction [3:27] at the ballroom. [3:28] Are you planning to stop? [3:30] The President Well, we'll appeal that. [3:31] But it's not, I don't know, there's, it's basically, I mean, [3:35] I wrote a part of his opinion, but basically he's saying [3:39] I need congressional approval. [3:42] And he's so wrong. [3:45] This is being financed privately. [3:46] It's a donation that's being given by companies, [3:50] very rich companies, very rich people, so that for 150 years, [3:55] they've wanted a ballroom here. [3:57] We're going to have the finest ballroom, I believe, [3:59] anywhere in the world. [4:00] And he said we need congressional approval. [4:03] Well, they don't get congressional approval [4:05] from the White House when they do things. [4:06] They don't. [4:07] Especially when you don't, we didn't ask for any tax money. [4:09] We have no taxes. [4:10] This is taxpayer free. [4:12] We have no taxpayer putting up 10 cents. [4:16] And I see right here, I just wrote it out. [4:19] He said we need congressional approval. [4:21] Well, we built many things at the White House over the years. [4:24] They didn't, they don't get congressional approval [4:26] when they build in the White House. [4:27] It's totally separate. [4:29] And especially when it's a donation. [4:31] I mean, the ballroom is a donation. [4:33] It's gotten great reviews. [4:34] People love it. [4:36] And presidents for 150 years have wanted this. [4:38] Ballroom to be built because when we have President Xi [4:41] or other presidents or prime ministers coming, [4:44] we don't have a big room. [4:45] We have the East Room, which is very small. [4:48] And he said we need congressional approval. [4:51] He also said, but this is positive for us. [4:54] I'm allowed that, meaning we are allowed to continue building [4:59] as necessary to, let's see, what is that? [5:06] To cover the safety and security of the White House [5:12] and its grounds. [5:12] So it says here very carefully, the safety and security [5:16] have to be protected in the White House grounds. [5:18] Well, that's what we're doing because everything's bulletproof, [5:20] glass, et cetera, et cetera, including the ballroom. [5:25] And then it goes construction and all of the things necessary. [5:30] It says personal safety of the president [5:33] and his staff are a part of that. [5:35] So it talks about that we're allowed to continue building. [5:39] In other words, he put an order on, and even that, [5:41] he gave 14 days. [5:42] We don't need it because that's what we're doing. [5:44] He's allowed to continue building as necessary. [5:48] And when it talks about the safety and security [5:52] of the White House and its grounds. [5:55] So just so you know, I wrote some of the thing down. [5:58] We have a drone-proof roof, [6:00] and it talks about the president and his staff. [6:04] Well, we don't have a lot of bulletproof glass. [6:06] The White House was built a long time ago. [6:08] This has the highest level of, in fact, they call this graph, [6:13] this... [6:14] The glass, it's bulletproof, and it's ballistic-proof. [6:23] It's very thick. [6:24] It's like that. [6:25] And it's going 45 feet high. [6:28] And every window is covered. [6:30] Every door is covered. [6:31] The roof is drone-proof. [6:33] We have secure air handling systems. [6:35] You know, bad things happen in the air if you have bad people. [6:40] We have biodefense all over. [6:43] We have secure telemetry. [6:46] Telecommunications and communications all over. [6:51] We have bomb shelters that we're building. [6:55] We have a hospital and very major medical facilities [7:00] that we're building. [7:02] We have all of these things. [7:04] So that's called, I'm allowed to continue building as necessary. [7:08] So think of the, for the safety of the president. [7:12] So we have all these things. [7:14] So on that, we're okay. [7:16] Where he's totally wrong, and he made... [7:20] You know, a statement, that's fine. [7:22] But where are we at? [7:23] I'll give you an example. [7:24] You have right here $300 to $400 million, depending on finishes. [7:29] If I use very expensive marble, if I use very expensive wall coatings, [7:35] if I could bring it up to 400. [7:38] Otherwise, we're right now ahead of schedule. [7:40] We're under budget. [7:42] But depending on finishes from $300 to $400 million are being given [7:48] by great people, people that you all know. [7:51] Rich people, rich companies, big companies. [7:54] They wanted to see this built because every president, [7:57] literally for 150 years, has needed a space like this. [8:00] Many of you have gone to the tent when we have a president [8:04] of a big country or somebody being honored [8:06] of great distinction, and they sit in a tent. [8:09] And if it rains, you get soaked [8:11] because the grass gets wet here very fast. [8:13] It's a very, a wet area. [8:16] They used to call it a wetland, but I guess they don't do [8:18] that for the White House, but it's essentially a wetland. [8:21] And when it rains, [8:22] they're in trouble. [8:23] The water can go up to three to four inches over their shoes. [8:26] It's not a good feeling for Prince, who was Prince Charles, [8:30] who will be here next couple of weeks, is King Charles, [8:35] who's a great guy. [8:36] We don't want him to sit in a pool of water. [8:40] And they've been wanting this for 100, think of it, [8:42] 150 years, and we're building it. [8:45] And it's covered perfectly. [8:46] What's not covered perfectly is the fact [8:48] that the judge said we need congressional approval. [8:52] Many things have been built in the White House. [8:54] They haven't gotten congressional approval, [8:56] especially when the money is being not put up by the taxpayer. [8:59] The taxpayer's not putting up a dime. [9:02] This building was necessary for many years by the fact [9:05] that I've built many ballrooms, and I've built many things, [9:08] and I know how to build. [9:09] I'm not building the Federal Reserve [9:10] where the guy's spending $4 billion [9:12] for a tiny little building. [9:13] $4 billion for the Federal Reserve Building. [9:19] That contractor is going to be one of the richest men anywhere [9:21] in the world after he finishes the Federal Reserve. [9:23] The man is totally incompetent. [9:26] Jerome, too late, Powell, is totally incompetent, [9:30] and he's got to get out of office pretty fast. [9:33] He's doing a bad job, but he's also done a bad job [9:35] in shepherding the construction of that building. [9:37] You know, they ripped down a part of that building, [9:39] and it was a nice, they say it's one [9:41] of the nicest buildings in Washington. [9:43] They ripped it down. [9:44] So we feel, and we don't feel, we know, [9:48] that congressional approval is not necessary [9:52] to put up a ballroom. [9:53] And many things have been built. [9:54] They've been built on the site. [9:55] They've never gotten congressional approval. [9:58] And especially when the money is all put up. [10:01] This is all donations by people that love our country, [10:05] that love the White House, [10:06] and that feel it was very necessary. [10:07] Yeah. [10:08] The Press A couple of questions for you on Iran. [10:10] The first one affects Americans' gas prices. [10:13] Today, they had $4. [10:15] The President The President [10:16] We had $4, yeah. [10:17] And we have a country that's not going to be throwing [10:19] a nuclear weapon at us in six months. [10:21] The Press Of course. [10:22] But Americans are feeling the effects [10:23] in the interim of this operation. [10:24] The President [10:25] They're also feeling a lot safer. [10:26] The Press [10:27] What is the plan to bring them back down? [10:28] The President [10:29] All I have to do is leave Iran. [10:30] And we'll be doing that very soon. [10:31] And they'll become tumbling down. [10:32] And stock prices were up today almost to a record, [10:33] because they know two things. [10:34] Number one, we have a safe country. [10:35] We had to take a little detour because we had a madman [10:36] named Khomeini who, sadly, is no longer with us. [10:37] And we had regime change already. [10:38] We've knocked out one regime. [10:39] Then we knocked out the second regime. [10:40] The President [10:41] The President [10:42] The President [10:43] The President [10:44] The President [10:45] The President [10:46] The President [10:47] The President [10:48] The President [10:49] The President [10:51] The President [10:52] The President [10:53] The President [10:54] The President [10:55] The President [10:56] The President [10:57] The President [10:58] The President [10:59] The President [11:00] The President [11:01] The President [11:02] The President [11:03] The President [11:04] The President [11:05] The President [11:06] The President [11:07] The President [11:08] The President [11:09] The President [11:10] The President [11:11] The President [11:12] The President [11:13] The President [11:14] The President [11:15] The President [11:16] The President [11:17] The President [11:18] The President [11:19] The President [11:20] The President [11:21] The President [11:22] The President [11:23] The President [11:24] The President [11:25] make a little detour because we have a madman that wants a nuclear weapon and [11:29] if we did not come out with a b2 bomber we would have a nuclear weapon right now [11:33] we would it would have been used it would have been used before this before [11:37] today and you may not be standing there asking that question okay so I think we [11:42] have a country that understands that I see CNN did a poll and they talked about [11:46] voters or MAGA voters and my poll came out at a hundred percent nobody nobody [11:51] covers that poll then another poll was at 92 percent approval I think that the [11:58] people understand it we'll be leaving very soon and if France or some other [12:03] country wants to get oil or gas you know go up through the Strait and almost [12:11] straight they'll go right up there and they'll be able to fend for themselves I [12:15] think it'll be very safe actually but we have nothing to do with that what [12:18] happens to the Strait we're not going to have anything to do with because [12:21] these countries China China will go up and they'll fuel up their beautiful [12:27] ships and they'll leave and they'll take care of themselves there's no reason for [12:30] us to do it we hit them hard we got rid of a lot of a lot of the radicalized [12:34] lunatics along the Strait but if they want something but I would say that [12:39] within two weeks maybe two weeks maybe three we're hitting a very hard last [12:45] night we knocked out tremendous amounts of missile making facilities we as you [12:49] probably read or wrote [12:52] knocked out excuse me the US will be gone or done with the war I think we're [12:57] two or three weeks in we'll leave because there's no reason for us to do [13:02] this look problem with the Strait a guy can take a mine drop it in the water and [13:06] say oh it's unsafe it's not like you're taking out an army or you're taking out [13:11] a country or you know they can drop it or you can take a machine gun from the [13:15] shore and shoot a little few bullets on a ship or maybe an over-the-shoulder [13:19] missile small missiles [13:22] that's not for us that'll be for France that'll be for whoever is using the [13:28] Strait but I think when we leave probably that's all cleared up today I [13:32] had tremendous numbers of ships were sailing through when negotiating with [13:36] them right now they've been again we have had regime change now regime [13:41] change was not one of the things I had as a goal I had one goal they will have [13:46] no nuclear weapon and that goal has been attained they will not have nuclear [13:50] weapons but we're finishing the jobs [13:53] And I think within maybe two weeks, maybe a couple of days longer to do the job. [13:59] But we want to knock out every single thing they have. [14:02] Now, it's possible that we'll make a deal before that because we'll hit bridges and we've hit some. [14:07] We'll hit some bridges. We've got a couple of nice bridges in mind. [14:11] But if they come to the table, that'll be good. [14:14] But it doesn't matter whether they come or not. [14:17] We've set them back. It'll take 15 to 20 years for them to rebuild what we've done to them. [14:22] They have no Navy. They have no military. They have no Air Force. [14:27] They have no telecommunications. They have no anti-aircraft systems. [14:31] They have no leaders. You know, their leaders are all gone. [14:33] That's why we have regime change. We have nice new leaders. Peter? [14:37] Thank you, President Trump. You talked about how the ballroom needs to have a drone-proof roof. [14:42] There have been drone swarms flying over sensitive military installations in the U.S. over the last couple of weeks. [14:49] Reports are they don't look commercial and they can't be jammed. [14:53] Is this another country's military? [14:55] I don't think so. We have a great system of... [14:59] Do you notice that over the last four or five days you haven't seen very many drone hits, right? [15:03] We have some unbelievable anti-drone weaponry that's incredible. [15:07] But you want to have like, for instance, the ballroom. We have a very powerful steel, very steel roof with other things in it. [15:14] And you want to have, if you're building a building for security, like just like is judge's opinion, [15:19] you have to have security for the president and his staff. [15:21] They have, you need heavy, strong ceilings. You need seriously thick, bulletproof, ballistic glass. [15:31] And we have that. Other buildings don't. You know, modern, fairly modern buildings don't have that. [15:38] They have roofs that are weak and they have regular glass windows. [15:41] There was this incident down at Barksdale, though, where apparently a whole swarm of drones for a couple hours was over the flight line. [15:48] There's a lot of really important planes down there. [15:50] Yeah. [15:51] How concerned are you that this is... [15:53] Well, I'm not concerned. Yeah, I know about it. [15:57] They've checked that out and they've gotten to the bottom of it. [16:02] You know, you have a lot of people now that fly these things all over the place and we're coming down very hard on them. [16:09] But we're able to take them out. Militarily, we're able to take them out very easily. [16:14] And a new thing is lasers. You know, the lasers are becoming very, very effective. [16:18] You hit a drone and it melts in air. It's a beautiful thing to see. [16:22] If it's coming at you, having a laser is a very nice thing. [16:26] But we have... There are methods of defending against... [16:30] I mean, the advantage from the standpoint of defense is they don't go very fast, relative to a F-22, that plane right over there. [16:38] They go very slow. [16:40] They can be also shot out of the air by, you know, high-quality aircraft, which we have more than anybody ever had. [16:46] There was a viral video this week. I don't know if you saw it. [16:50] Army helicopters hovering the aircraft. [16:52] Kid Rock's house in Nashville. Did you see that video? [16:54] I didn't see it, no. But I'm sure they had a good time. [16:56] Well, some of the Army just said the crews of these helicopters have been suspended. [17:00] Well, it depends. Are they... Well, they probably shouldn't have been doing it. [17:05] Yes, you're not supposed to be playing games, right? [17:07] But I'd take a look at it. [17:09] They like Kid Rock. I like Kid Rock. [17:11] Maybe they were trying to defend him. I don't know. [17:15] Does Iran have to make a deal for the U.S. to end its operation in Iran? [17:19] No, no. [17:21] Iran doesn't have to. Iran doesn't have to make a deal. [17:23] No. Yeah, I've spoken to a lot of people. [17:25] It's a new regime. [17:27] They are much more accessible. [17:29] They are right, you know. [17:31] They said, we have a present for you, Mr. President, out of respect. [17:35] And they said, wait a minute. [17:37] Do you want me to answer the question? [17:39] You're a fresh person, you know. [17:42] We've had a lot of problems with you, haven't we? [17:44] No, they don't. You asked me a question. [17:46] No, they don't have to make a deal with me. [17:48] When we feel that they are, for a long period of time, [17:52] put into the Stone Ages, [17:54] and they won't be able to come up with a nuclear weapon, [17:58] then we'll leave. [18:00] Whether we have a deal or not is irrelevant. [18:02] Now, it's possible that we'll have a deal because they want to make a deal. [18:06] They want to make a deal more than I want to make a deal. [18:08] But in a fairly short period of time, we'll be finished. [18:12] They will not be able to do a nuclear weapon for years. [18:16] And when they already, maybe in a long time from now, [18:20] are able to do a nuclear weapon, [18:23] you'll have a president that will be like me and that he will go there [18:27] and he'll knock the hell out of them again [18:29] because they cannot have a nuclear weapon. [18:31] They are very radicalized people. [18:33] They have very sick leaderships. [18:35] And I will say, though, that the leadership we're dealing with now, [18:39] the new regime, because we have a new regime, [18:41] and the new regime is much better than the past. [18:46] Mr. President, the Iranian government threatened a bunch of U.S. companies today in the region, [18:52] including Google, Apple. [18:54] What did they threaten them with? [18:56] PP guns? [18:58] They don't have much left to threaten. [19:00] I don't know. [19:02] You made a statement. [19:04] What did they threaten them with? [19:07] I don't know. [19:09] Tell me, how did they threaten them? [19:11] What does that mean? [19:13] You said something nasty? [19:16] You don't even know what the threat was. [19:18] What was the threat? [19:20] I haven't heard it. [19:22] What was the threat? [19:24] Did they say they're going to blow them up? [19:26] They're not going to hit them with a nuclear weapon. [19:28] It is something you're concerned about, sir? [19:30] No. [19:32] Iran's IRGC issued a warning that they will target 18 U.S. technology companies [19:36] if the U.S. continues targeted assassinations of Iranian leaders beginning on April 1st. [19:40] Most of those people are dead already. [19:44] Yeah, Peter? [19:46] I got one. [19:48] Your son Eric posted a photo of what will be the Trump Presidential Library. [19:50] It's a huge skyscraper. [19:52] In Miami? [19:54] Is that all a library? What else is going in there? [19:56] Well, it's a library. [19:58] It's a museum or a library. [20:00] It's a presidential. [20:02] But I wouldn't start it until I'm out of office. [20:04] I don't believe in building libraries or museums. [20:06] It's really like the Barack Hussein Obama one in Chicago. [20:08] In not a good location. [20:10] And it's a very unattractive building that's seriously late and seriously over budget. [20:16] I think you're going to see a great one here. [20:19] And it'll go up on time, on budget. [20:23] Best location in Miami. [20:25] They say it's the best block in Miami. [20:27] Will people live there? [20:29] No, it's going to be most likely a hotel. [20:31] It could be office, but it's most likely going to be a hotel with a beautiful building underneath. [20:37] And a 747 Air Force One in the lobby, which is going to be a trick. [20:43] And the Supreme Court tomorrow is going to hear arguments about your executive order trying to get rid of birthright citizenship. [20:51] And I'm going. [20:54] You're going to go to the Supreme Court tomorrow? [20:56] Because I have listened to this argument for so long. [20:58] And this is not about Chinese billionaires or billionaires from other countries who all of a sudden have 75 children or 59 children in one case or 10 children becoming American citizens. [21:12] This was about slaves. [21:14] And if you take a look, slaves, we're talking about slaves from the Civil War. [21:18] And if you take a look at when it was filed, all of this legislation, all of this, everything having to do with birthright citizenship. [21:24] It was at the end of the Civil War. [21:28] The reason was it had to do with the babies of slaves and the protection of the babies of slaves. [21:34] It didn't have to do with the protection of multimillionaires and billionaires wanting to have their children get an American citizenship. [21:42] It is the craziest thing I've ever seen. [21:46] It's been so badly handled by legal people over the years. [21:50] If you look at the original, it's been the most crazy thing I've ever seen. [21:52] If you look at the original birthright citizenship papers, they all happened right after the Civil War. [22:01] The reason was it had to do with the babies of slaves. [22:05] And hopefully it's going to stay because our country is being scammed. [22:09] We're getting all of these people. [22:11] They're selling the rights to them. [22:13] People are making a living, a big living, getting hundreds of thousands and even millions of dollars [22:18] from bringing people in and saying, congratulations, your whole family is going to be a citizen of the United States of America. [22:27] That's not what it was for. [22:28] It wasn't for billionaires bringing people in or family in. [22:32] It was for the children of slaves. [22:36] And what you really have to do, and I don't think the lawyers talk about it as much, [22:41] look at when the Civil War ended and look at the date of when this was enacted. [22:47] Okay. [22:48] Have you ever met a stranger? [22:50] Is this going to be the first time joining the Supreme Court? [22:51] No, once before. [22:53] The opening of the Supreme Court and the last administration. [22:56] And which justices will you be? [22:59] I love a few of them. [23:02] I don't like some others. [23:04] And, you know, you say what you want, but you have the ones that were appointed by Barack Hussein Obama and Biden. [23:12] I don't care how good your case is. [23:14] You can have the greatest case ever. [23:16] They're going to rule against you. [23:18] They always do. [23:20] And it's not supposed to be that way. [23:22] Now, the Republicans tend to. [23:25] Be very different. [23:26] They want to show how honorable they are. [23:28] So a man can appoint them and they can rule against them. [23:31] It's so proud of it. [23:32] We're so proud we ruled against Trump. [23:34] We're so proud. [23:35] We're above it. [23:38] There are those that say that's wonderful. [23:39] And there are those that say they're so stupid. [23:45] But the Democrats never fail at one thing. [23:50] When Barack Hussein Obama or when Biden appoints somebody, they go along that line. [23:55] You can have the greatest case in history. [23:59] And. [23:59] Almost, I guess I have to say almost, maybe I don't have to say it almost without fail. [24:06] Those people, four of them, sometimes five of them, but four of them will vote against you. [24:15] You don't have a chance. [24:16] You don't have a chance. [24:17] And that's not what the court system is. [24:19] Now, the Republican appointees tend to go. [24:22] And this has been long before me. [24:24] This has been for many years. [24:27] Some people would call it stupidity. [24:28] Some people would call it disloyal. [24:30] Some people would say they're right in doing it. [24:32] And I don't mind. [24:33] I don't mind being right. [24:34] But the other side almost never does it. [24:36] Almost. [24:37] I think you could find maybe a couple of instances. [24:39] Almost never does it. [24:41] When a Democrat appoints a judge. [24:43] And I'm talking about judges, not just justices. [24:45] You go before some of these Democrat judges in Washington, D.C. [24:52] You don't have a chance. [24:55] That's why I gave pardons to hundreds of people that were so badly treated having to do with J6. [25:02] Yeah. [25:03] President. [25:04] Next. [25:06] Oh, do you have a question? [25:08] Let's go. [25:08] I didn't see you over there. [25:10] You've been so nice. [25:11] Here we go. [25:11] Now she's going to hit me with a bad one. [25:13] Go ahead. [25:14] On the Save America Act, Mr. President, do you still think it's going to pass? [25:18] Were you signed? [25:19] I don't know. [25:19] It's the craziest thing. [25:20] The Democrats are totally against it. [25:22] Again, they're unified. [25:24] I think maybe you would have Fetterman, who I have a lot of respect for. [25:28] But the Democrats are unified against it. [25:31] And you need Democrat votes unless you do something smart called the filibuster, terminate the filibuster. [25:37] Which is a good thing. [25:37] They should do. [25:38] Republicans should do that. [25:39] But there are a couple of Republicans that maybe they're not so smart. [25:44] Because the Democrats will do it on the first day in office. [25:46] Maybe the first hour. [25:47] It's a question. [25:48] Will it be the first hour or the first day? [25:51] So who can believe that a person, you can't even get it to the floor, that a person wouldn't vote for, think of it, for citizenship, proof of citizenship, for voter identification. [26:08] Right. [26:08] Right. [26:09] Right. [26:09] Right. [26:09] Right. [26:09] Right. [26:09] Right. [26:09] Right. [26:09] Right. [26:09] Right. [26:09] Right. [26:09] Right. [26:09] Right. [26:09] Right. [26:09] Right. [26:09] Right. [26:09] Right. [26:09] Right. [26:09] Right. [26:09] Right. [26:09] Right. [26:09] Right. [26:09] Right. [26:09] Right. [26:09] Right. [26:09] Right. [26:09] Right. [26:09] Right. [26:09] Right. [26:09] Right. [26:10] Right. [26:10] Right. [26:10] Right. [26:10] Right. [26:10] Right. [26:10] Right. [26:10] Right. [26:10] Right. [26:10] Right. [26:10] Right. [26:10] Right. [26:10] Right. [26:10] Right. [26:10] Right. [26:10] Right. [26:10] Right. [26:10] Right. [26:10] Right. [26:10] Right. [26:10] Right. [26:10] Right. [26:10] Right. [26:10] Right. [26:10] Right. [26:10] Right. [26:10] Right. [26:10] Right. [26:10] Right. [26:10] Right. [26:10] Right. [26:10] Right. [26:10] Right. [26:10] Right. [26:10] Right. [26:11] Right. [26:11] Right. [26:11] Right. [26:11] Right. [26:11] Right. [26:11] Right. [26:11] Right. [26:11] Right. [26:11] Right. [26:11] Right. [26:11] Right. [26:11] Right. [26:28] Right. [26:28] Right. [26:28] And no men and women sports, different subject, but we added that and we said no transgender [26:34] mutilization of our children. [26:36] These are all 90, 95, maybe 98 in some cases, maybe 99 in terms of those first two. [26:47] If you talk about the first two, I think, you know, I think 98, 99% voter identification, [26:55] right? [26:56] Wouldn't you think, don't you think it's nice, with picture, wouldn't you think it's nice [27:01] when the Democrats had their convention, I remember it so well, you had to have identification [27:07] to get into the arena and they had a card that was bigger than most of their chests [27:13] and it had everything. [27:14] It had their picture, it had, and if you didn't have that card, they threw you away. [27:20] In New York City recently, we had big snowstorm, Mayor Mandemi had, he called out for people [27:28] to shovel snow, but you had to give identification with picture. [27:34] If you didn't have. [27:35] Yeah. [27:35] And it wasn't one identification, you had to have two. [27:39] So to shovel snow in New York City, you need identification, double, with picture, but [27:45] to vote, which is maybe our most cherished thing, you don't need. [27:50] They don't want voter ID, the Democrats, because they want to cheat. [27:54] The problem is we need their votes. [27:56] In order to get it, you need their votes and look, they know their policy is so bad. [28:03] They know that if they gave those votes, they might never win another election, so they're [28:07] fighting like hell. [28:08] They're actually fighting for their survival, because their policy, the Republicans have [28:15] great policy, smart policy, strong borders, low interest rates, low taxes, we just gave [28:21] you the largest tax cut in history. [28:24] All these great policies, you know, we want a strong military, look at our military, we [28:28] have the strongest military, look what happened in Venezuela, it was so incredible. [28:34] People said the greatest military maneuver they've ever seen, look what's happening in [28:38] Iran. [28:39] I mean, we're totally unchecked, everything's been bombed out, they have no anti-aircraft [28:45] protection, they have no nothing, they don't have anything, look at our military, the Democrats [28:53] don't want that. [28:54] And when I read the fake New York Times, you take a look at it, it's like, oh, they're [28:58] putting up a good fight, they're not putting up a fight, they're not even shooting at us, [29:02] okay? [29:03] We have planes, planes are just ruling the sky, we have airplanes, those two, those two, [29:12] we have airplanes, nice, right? [29:13] Lincoln with a little modern touch, the great Benjamin Franklin with a little modern touch, [29:20] but think of it, they are roaming the skies over Tehran, they're not even being shot at, [29:26] because their equipment's been totally decimated, they have nothing to shoot. [29:32] We have, they have no navy, they have no anything. [29:35] And just think about this, they have no navy, they have no military, they have no nothing, [29:41] they're losing, they admit they're losing. [29:43] They're begging to make money. [29:44] They're begging to make money. [29:44] They're begging to make a deal. [29:46] And if you read the fake New York Times, a corrupt newspaper, where I'm suing them and [29:50] I think I should do very well, but you would almost think, who's winning? [29:56] It's so fraudulent. [29:58] But just to finish up with the New York Times, if you read the New York Times prior to my [30:03] election victory, including the first one, and the second one too, I won three times, [30:11] I won three times convincingly, but let's go to the third victory, if you read the New [30:17] York Times you would say, oh, Trump's gonna lose. [30:21] But I won in a landslide, I won the popular vote, I won the electoral college in a massive [30:26] number, right? [30:27] Massive. [30:28] I won the counties, 86% of the counties I won. [30:33] All of these different things. [30:35] Winning the popular vote for Republicans, you know, pretty amazing, but if you read [30:39] the New York Times for months and months and months, you're hearing, oh, Trump, he's doing [30:45] so badly. [30:47] We have to straighten out our media. [30:48] We have to. [30:49] The reason their circulation is way down, the New York Times circulation, you know, [30:53] has gone way down. [30:56] Washington Post is almost extinct. [30:59] The papers that are being dishonest, the papers generally, people don't believe the media. [31:06] And to finish, I got 93% bad publicity. [31:11] Some people say 97, but between 93 and 97. [31:15] A person that gets 97% of bad stories, maybe Caroline's doing a poor job, I don't know. [31:21] She's my rep, you're doing a terrible job. [31:25] Should we keep her? [31:26] I think we'll keep her. [31:27] But I get 93 to 97% bad press, fake press, all fake. [31:33] I won in a landslide. [31:35] When you get 93 to 97 bad stories, bad press, and you win in a landslide, you know what [31:42] that says? [31:43] People don't believe the press. [31:46] And when people don't believe the press, that's a very bad thing for our country. [31:49] And when you look at, let's say the New York Times or the Washington Post, the stories, [31:52] the stories are so bad. [31:53] They're so bad. [31:54] They're so fake. [31:55] Wall Street Journal, too. [31:56] A lot of bad stories. [31:57] I don't know what happened to them, but they're bad. [32:00] Their circulation went way down. [32:02] Wall Street Journal, I don't know if you saw the numbers that came out yesterday. [32:05] New York Times, way down. [32:07] Wall Street Journal, way down. [32:08] Washington Post, number one, way down. [32:11] Because people don't believe them anymore. [32:14] And until they get, it's not the paper, it's not the, it's that they have no credibility [32:18] anymore, which is a very sad thing for our country. [32:21] Thank you very much, everybody. [32:22] Thank you very much. [32:23] Thank you very much. [32:25] Thank you.
