Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, News round up and information overload hour. Here's
(00:02):
our toll free telephone number if you want to be
a part of the program. It's eight hundred and nine
four one sean if you want to join us. The
President had a very very critical and important Cabinet meeting today.
I love the fact that he televises it. Then he
took questions from the press, but a wide variety of issues,
from the economy, to Cuba, to Venezuela to a ran.
(00:26):
I mean, it ran the gamut, and I think it's
important that everybody hear this. Let me play the actual
meeting part, and then we'll get to some of the
q and a that he had with the legacy media
mob that's coming up straight ahead as well. Let me
play that first.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
A few words to say to you that I think
will be helpful.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
Last night was incredible, not only Texas but so.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Many other places, and.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
The numbers were fantastic, and they've really been that way
for a year. If you look, hundreds of people want
and almost nobody didn't win.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
But last night was very very powerful.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
So I'm thrilled to welcome everyone to the twelfth Cabinet
Meeting of our administration. And we're doing something that no
administration's ever done. We're always letting the press students because
we're very open and transparent. Like the word transparent, but
we're more transparent than any administration in history. To the
best of my knowledge, press has never been invited ever
(01:27):
to a cabinet meeting for any reason at all. And
in order to have you, this team has achieved more
than most other administrations achieved.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
In eight years.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
We took the most dangerous, unsafe island and open border
in the world. Anywhere in the world, there's no border
like the border we had, and created the most secure
border in the history of our country. We had no
people twelve months now, No people reported in the last twelve.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Months came in illegally.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
Zero illegal aliens admitted to the United States in the
last twelve months. And that's those charts are made by
you would say, politically unfriendly people.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
And the reason they don't come.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
In is because nobody comes up because they know that
they're going to be turned away and if they get in,
they're going to be moved out right away.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
So it's been the zero. You're the one that you
do the reports.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
I'm actually surprised by the number, and I don't know
how it can be zero, but they say it zero.
For the last twelve months and twenty twenty five, we
achieved the largest drop and the murder rate ever recorded.
So the murder rate was quite high, and we achieved
the largest drop in the murder rate ever recorded to
the lowest level one hundred and twenty five years. That's
(02:38):
see in nineteen hundred and that's despite the fact that
many people came in from prisons and from very rough countries,
and from mental institutions, and from lots of other places,
drug dealers, others. They came in illegally during the Biden administration.
We've got many of them out, but we still have
some that we're looking for. Quite a few that we're
(02:59):
still looking for. We've gotten over eleven eight hundred and
eighty eight murderers we're allowed into a country.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
We've gotten a lot of them out. We've gotten some
them we put them in jail.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
We don't even trust the country to send them because they'll.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Come back in maybe we put them in jail.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Eight hundred and eighty eight murders, more than half of
which have committed.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
More than one murder. That's what they allowed in. They should.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
They can never be forgotten for the horrible things they've
done to this country. Fentanyl coming across our voter is
now down by sixty one percent, sixty one percent, and
coming in by water, by sea, by ocean is down
ninety seven percent.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Can you mention?
Speaker 3 (03:41):
Thanks to our Republican majorities in Congress, we passed the
largest tax cuts in American history. All Democrats voted against
the tax cuts, putting more money in American spockets. This year,
the typical family got tax refunds of nearly almost less
of five thousand dollars. The stock market is set sixty
eight all time record highs since the election, So sixty
(04:04):
eight days we hit all time highs. We're right there now.
And the average four o one K. And that's despite
the conflict. I don't go to war, I called a conflict,
despite the conflict with Venezuela, who no longer has a navy,
no longer has an air force, no longer has a
lot of people that were leading the country into very
(04:25):
bad places. Their leadership is gone, Their second wrong leadership
is gone. We're dealing with the half of their third
because half of their third is gone. Ten the average
four O one k is up almost thirty thousand dollars
since I.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Took office, So the Americans are.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
Benefiting working today, we have the most working and we
have four O one k's at their all time high,
highest they've ever been. And that goes alone with the
stock market, which is the highest etceverament under my most
favorite nation agreements. This is something that I wish the
media would talk about because to me, it's one of
the biggest things ever to happen in our country, certainly
(05:03):
as to medical, anything happen to do with medical because
drug prices. We're delivering records setting discounts on prescription drugs
with price differences of four hundred, five hundred and even
six hundred percent at the Trump rx dot gov. We
recently added nearly one thousand low costs low cost generics
(05:25):
to the website. So we have drugs down four hundred,
five hundred, six hundred percent. Now you could say eighty
ninety seventy sixty to fifty percent if you want. There
are two ways. That depends on the way you asked the question.
But a pill that would sell in Germany or let's
say in London for ten dollars we're selling for here
(05:46):
for one hundred and thirty dollars, and I got the
countries to all agree, otherwise they would have had to
pay big tariffs. I don't want to go into it,
but it has some very interesting discussions.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
They said vehemently no.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
And then when I said, that's all right, We're going
to charge you fifty percent error on everything you sell
into America, they said, well, like we said, we'll say yes,
And every single country agreed, and every drug company agreed,
So we have.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Most favored nations.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
So we were paying the highest drug prices in the world.
Now we're paying the lowest drug prices.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
In the world.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
So that pill that I talked about would go from
ten dollars to twenty. The world is bigger than the
US or to believe, but it's true, so it's not
like you cut it in the middle.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
They just had to go up a little bit.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
But a little bit is a double leg of a price,
so a little bit's a lot. So the pill would
go from ten dollars to twenty dollars, and we'd go
from one hundred and thirty dollars to twenty dollars.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Think of that.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
So we would get if you remember some of you
were at the news conference.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Had my first term where I got the prices down
one eighth.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
Of a percent, one quarter one eighth of a percent
my first term, and I'm so proud of it because prices,
drug prices hadn't come down twenty eight years, and I
was the first one to do it. But now I'm
getting them down, not one eighth of a percent, I'm
getting them down four hundred, five hundred and six hundred,
or if you want to use it a different way,
you could say seventy eight nine fifty percent. Nobody's ever
(07:16):
seen anything like it, and I got that through well.
Everybody knew was taking place. But we paid the highest
prices anywhere in the world. Now we're paying the lowest
prices anywhere in the world. And the press reviews is
are right. I think it's the biggest thing. And for
health care, you know, so much of it is prescription
drug prices and drug prices, and with them coming down,
(07:38):
the healthcare is going to come down very substantially. We
recently added nearly one thousand low cost generics too, as
I said, and that's you know, one thousand drugs, and
it's all on and it's this was not a This
was not given by me. This was given by doctor
Oz and Bobby, and I, you know, wasn't sure whether
(07:58):
or not I loved the idea, but he said, we
want to use Trump Trump RX dot gov is what
it is. And it's the hottest sight I think anywhere
on the planet from what I understand Bobby, right, it's
really great. People are calling up and they're buying drugs
for a fraction for literally a fraction of the price,
and it should be the biggest story. And on that alone,
we should win the midterms. On that alone, we should
(08:20):
win the midterms. But the press doesn't talk about It's
the biggest thing to happen in the drug industry ever
maybe ever.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
And the press doesn't want to write stories about it.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
We made the largest ever investment in the US military
one trillion dollars and we're asking actually for one point
five trillion for the coming year. And we have the
strongest military anywhere in the world. As you know, you
saw what we did with Venezuela. That worked out very quickly,
and we're doing really equally as well.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Again, people don't want to write about it.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
With Ran, Ran is very much intent they want very
much to make a deal. So far they haven't gone,
and we're not satisfied with it. But then we will be.
We will be either that or we'll have to just
finish the job. But the Navy is gone, as they've
said a thousand times, the Navy is gone, their air
force is gone.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
Everything's gone.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
And they're negotiating on fumes.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
But we'll see what happens. Maybe we have to go
back and finish it. Maybe we don't. Right now.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
I mean, you can speak to Skate with Gough and
Jarrett doing a good job, But right now I think
it looks like they want to just make a deal.
They want to, they have I don't think they have
a choice. They're just going back to the internet because
they getting club with their economies.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
In free fall.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
They have two hundred and fifty percent inflation, their money
has no value, and their whole economic system is broken down.
They thought they were going to outwait me. You know,
we'll outwait him. He's got the midterms. I don't care
about the midterms. Look what happened last night, and that
was the prelude of the midterms. People understand that, they
know that, but very simple the red cannot have a
(10:02):
nuclear weapon.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
I'm doing that for the world.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
I'm not doing it just for us, and we've had
great support from other nations. By the way, we don't
need it at all, but we've had great support from
other nations. The problem is you always get the support
when you don't need it. When you need it, you
don't get the support. With Operation Epic Cure or Warriors
are ensuring that the world's number one stage sponsor of
terror never obtains a nuclear weapon, and they won't another
(10:27):
man doing the fantastic job. I think we all agree,
as Marco, You're all over the place right what she
last night, at three different locations, So tell us about
our ran.
Speaker 4 (10:37):
Well, first of all, the bottom line is Iron's never
going to have a nuclear weapon, and if recent events
have done anything, has just remind us once again that
they are the world's leading sponsor of terrorism and.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
They can never have a nuclear weapon.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
Now, the President's preference, President, your preference is told us
repeatedly is always to negotiate these things and to figure
out if you can have agreements. Diplomacy is always the
first option, and we continue to work on that to yours,
mister Woodkoff and Kushner and others Vice President who've been
very involved in if if there's an agreement to be made,
we want that to be made. I think there's been
some progress and some interest, and we'll see over the
(11:10):
next few hours and days where the projects could be made.
I just want to remind everybody, mister President, you know
this well. You have other options available to you if
that doesn't work. But the bottom line is that we
prefer the negotiated diplomatic route, and we're going to give
it every chance to succeed. You know you're giving it
every chance to succeed, mister President. But here's the bottom line.
Because I keep getting asked, what is this all about,
It's very simple. Iran and these people in charge of
(11:33):
Iran can never have a nuclear weapon, and they will
never have a nuclear weapon, and they most certainly will
not have one as long as you're President of the
United States. On that point, it's very clear. Just two
quick things I want to touch upon. One key touched
upon the border and security. Part of securing our border
is dealing with the people that are in this country,
a lawful many of whom do not want to go
back to the country that they originally came from for
(11:54):
a variety of reasons, either we can't send them there,
or some judge ties us up. And one of the
key things we have achieved is now twenty countries have
signed third country national agreements, meaning these are safe countries
where individuals who refuse to go back to their country
of origin can be sent to that country instead. We've
gotten twenty countries now around the world who have signed
agreements that allow us to deport people to those places.
(12:15):
What often happens when you go to the person who's
here a lawfully and say we're going to send you
to this third country, is all of a sudden they
decide they'd rather go back to their home country instead.
So it gives the ability to enforce all laws, and
we work very closely with the Department of Homeland Security on
that front. Something else that I know is concerning people
because it's on the news, is ebola our number one obligation.
(12:36):
You know, we're involved in foreign policy, but even our
foreign policy, the number one priority of our foreign policies
to protect the American people. We cannot and will not
allow any cases of ebola enter the United States, and
so we're very the state Department and other agencies represented here,
the Centers of Disease Control AGHS, others are working very,
very hard to contain this crisis to the countries where
(12:58):
it's currently located, particularly the dem Credit Republic Chicago, and
so we've surged assistance to make.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Sure that that is being contained there.
Speaker 4 (13:06):
And obviously multiple agencies involved here are also very involved
in tracking people just to make sure that nobody comes
into this country that has a bowline creates a problem
for us, and we feel like we've got good efforts
in place to do that. An Americans should feel assured
that the President and his administration is doing everything we
can to protect them on that front. My last point said,
I was all over the place. One of the places
I stopped in last night was to initial the Trump
(13:30):
route for prosperity in Armenia. This is a key linchpin
of the peace deal that you were able to achieve
between Armenia and Azerbaijan. And in addition to that, we
also signed a critical minerals MoU with them and a
strategic engagement one as well. So just a reminder of
another war who helped the settlements to president, but from
(13:50):
that has now we are seeing the emergence of a
great new relationship with Armenia that really had grown stagnant
for a very.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
Long period of time. So we're doing well in front
as well. In to just asking Cuba and Venezuela, what's
going on there?
Speaker 4 (14:04):
Well, interesting on Venezuela, that process continues, that three phase
process you know of, obviously stabilization, recovery, and transition. I
would just say just since January thirty this year, okay,
and I.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
Think this number is writing.
Speaker 4 (14:18):
Chris or Doug can can correct me on this, but
I think over ten million barrels I've benefit I've been
delivered to the United States since the third of January.
That industry is being professionalized for the first time ever.
It's going to the benefit of the Venezuelan people. They
are selling oil in the market at market rates. The
money is going to an account in the United States
controlled and monitored by Treasury, audited by KPMG, and it's
(14:42):
for the first time ever, the money is not being stolen.
It's going to the benefit of the Venezuelan people. Cuba's
in a lot of trouble because, unfortunately for them, it's
run by a bunch of incompetent communists. Being communists is bad.
Being an incompetent communist.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
Is like the worst.
Speaker 4 (14:58):
But the country has been taken over by this company
called basically controls seventy percent of the economy, none of
the money, and that company goes to help the Cuban.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
People, none of them. So we'll be talking to them,
we'll be working on it.
Speaker 4 (15:10):
You know, we want something good for the Cuban people
and hopefully they'll be a good outcome there for them.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
There needs to be. It's ninety miles from our shores.
Speaker 4 (15:17):
And having a failed state ninety miles from our shores
is a threat to the national security.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
Of the United States.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
Quick break right back more on the other side. The
President and his cabinet. Straight ahead as we continue, So
after the President, it began and held this cabinet meeting,
which I love is so transparent and public and on TV.
Then the President took questions from the mob legacy media mob.
Let's go to some of that Q and A.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
Any questions.
Speaker 5 (15:46):
Ron wants control of the straight or removes would you
accept a short.
Speaker 6 (15:50):
Term deal that allows Iran and Oman to control the
Strait and would they have to open it immediately?
Speaker 2 (15:55):
Or would you be open to that happening over a
period of time.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
The street's going to be open to everybody. It's international waters.
Nobody's going to control and with it and watch over it,
will watch over it, but nobody's going to control it.
That's part of the negotiation that we have.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
They would like to control. Nobody's going to control.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
It's international waters, and oman will behave just like everybody
else that will have to blow them up.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
They understand that they'll be fine. How much as a president,
thank you?
Speaker 7 (16:22):
How much economic pressure do you feel to get the
straight or forms open?
Speaker 2 (16:26):
Well? After?
Speaker 3 (16:27):
The United States has so much oil that we are
an export of oil, so we have plenty of We're
very lucky. We're blessed with the greatest piece of land
in the world from that standpoint, and we have more
than anybody else. And now when you add Venezuela to it,
we have I think sixty four percent of the world's oil.
And we're getting along very well with Venezuela. By the way,
(16:49):
it's being run really beautifully. The big companies are moving in,
they are going to be it's gonna be amazing because
it's also like us, they're very they're very blessed in
that sense. But we have noctual energy that no other
country has. We have more than anybody else. So it's
really a world problem because most of the world doesn't
have that, and we're making it available during the closing.
(17:11):
I don't know if you've seen some of the satellite pictures. Boats,
hundreds of boats lined up. It looks like I used
to say, the Long Island express As. They're lined up
and they're coming to Texas, Louisiana. They're coming to Alaska
to fill up their boat.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
The big boat.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
Some of them are really big, you know, two million gallons,
even bigger than that. Now they make them, they make
them up to four. Chris, I hear. Now they make
them up to four. The four are now.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
The big ones. Used to be the ones.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
Now it's four million barrels of Think of that, four
million barrels of oil and one boat. But they're lined up,
and they're right now heading to Texas, and they've already
filled up and they've gone back to the American In
addition to that, you have a lot of boats, about
fourteen to fifteen hundred boats in the Strait wanting to
get out and at the right time, we'll release them.
Speaker 7 (17:58):
But the American peoples are seeing higher gas prices.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Yeah, now it's come down.
Speaker 7 (18:01):
A little bit, but it's still four dollars and forty
five cents.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
It will come down a lot. It'll come down to
where it was before we had it. When I was
in Iowa, we had driving by and we saw gas
stations one dollar and ninety cents a gallon one dollar
and eighty five cents one dollar in eighty seven with
a three that we saw.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
We had it down in some places below.
Speaker 3 (18:22):
And we can't help a California where they charge so
much tax that you know, you lower it and they
charge sacks. They've got to straighten the act out in California.
But we had we had gasoling down to a very
low number. I think we'll be hitting that number shortly
after that whole excursion ends.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
Do they any more urgent?
Speaker 3 (18:40):
But regardless of anything, regardless of anything, as Marcos said
better than anybody can say it, you can't let them
have a nuclear weapon. They would use it instantly. They
wouldn't think about it, they would use it instantly. I've
gotten to know them. They would use it instead.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
Did they give you more urgency? Mis their president. You've
said that you're a no rush to make a deal.
Speaker 7 (18:58):
But with gas prices that are so high across the country,
people are paying more for travel.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
Does that give you more urgency to make a deal.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
Why doesn't Well, I'll tell you the primary urgency. I
said this, It was uncovered properly. But the primary urgency
is that we can't let Iran have a nuclear weapon.
But at the same time, we have a tremendous amount
of oil, gas, coal, we have tremendous amounts of energy.
We're plused with something very special. Those prices are going
to come down. They're going to come down fast.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
I think.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
I think that you'll see, Actually, Todd, I think you're
going to see a low prices that we had even
before we did this. Now I knew there'd be an increase.
I said, we have a choice. We don't have to
do anything. And in two years or one year or
two months, because Iran would have had if we didn't
hit that with the B two bombers, Iran would have
had a nuclear weapon within two weeks from that date
because they were ready to go. And if they had
(19:48):
a new nuclear weapon, it would have been used already.
It also would have been used. Had I not terpinated
the Obama deal, the Iron Nuclear Deal as we call it,
that was in.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
My first term. Had I know terminated that they would
have had a nuclear weapon a long time ago.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
I would say it was a guarantee that it would
have been used, and it.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
Would have blown up Israel.
Speaker 3 (20:09):
It would have blown up the entire Middle East, and
that's never gonna happen.
Speaker 6 (20:12):
Yeah, Iran, would you be comfortable with Russia or China
taking their stockpile of highly enriched geranium and have they
offered to be.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
No, I wouldn't be helpful. That would not make me go.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
Is the US considering easing sanctions on Iran to will allow
Iran to sell its crew to market? No, we're not
talking about any easing of sanctions and giving money. No sanctions,
no money, no nothing.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
We have control of money that they claim is Theirs.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
Will keep control of that money. When they behave properly
and when they do what's right, we'll let them have
their money. But right now we're not doing that, and
it's done. One thing is not contingent on the other.
Speaker 6 (20:53):
Mister President, on the shooting last weekend, it came barely
a month after the third assassination attend against you during
the White House versus cnent Sinner, What was your reaction
when you first heard about the latest shooting and what
gives to the car Is you really keep doing your
job effectively without thinking about these threats every day?
Speaker 3 (21:08):
Well, I can't think about it because if I thought
about it a lot, you know, I wouldn't be very
good president. I wouldn't be here, probably be up in
some nown with a locked door. It's just leave me alone,
it's all. I can't really think about it. If it's
such something that it's a sad part of life. It's
a dangerous business. What I'm doing is a dangerous business.
(21:29):
And they say, and look, we have been maybe the
most consequential, but we certainly have been one of the
most consequential. This group has been a very consequential administration.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
And they say, if you're not.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
Consequential, you don't have so much problem. If you are consequential,
you do. So you have to look at that. But
it's a shame, it's a sad it's a very sad factor.
Loved anybody in office, not only in this country, in
other countries too. But when you are a consequential. President,
your life is in great danger.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
I knew that.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
Mister President, How would you characterize the current state of
the talks with iron I guess.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
If that were a football field, what yard line would
you be on? Well, I think we're doing very well.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
They are starting to give us the things that they
have to give us, and if they do, that's great.
And if they won't, then the man on my left
is going to finish them off.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Is there a time frame in your mind? What is
there a time frame in your mind for I mean,
it happens quickly.
Speaker 3 (22:28):
The problem is every time I mentioned in time frame,
for instance, I see, you know, we've been doing this
for a few months. Via Latnam lasted nineteen years, Korea
lasted eight years, Afghanistan lasted many years. There were many
many years, and we're into it for a few months.
And I read about you people like you. What's taken
(22:49):
so long?
Speaker 2 (22:49):
But we're in it.
Speaker 3 (22:51):
You know, we lost between two wars, two big wars,
Venezuela and Iran. We lost thirteen souls, thirteen great people
at the Paris people and it's a terrible thing, but
thirteen if you look at the war casualties and the
deaths and wars or Vietnamino that they lost hundreds of
thousands of people, and numerous of these wars. We're very
(23:16):
cognizant that we want to lose very few, we want
very few to be injured. Were very we're very careful.
But war's war. War's dangerous. But we've lost thirteen. So
the Democrats took an end putting into thirteen people that
were lost, and when you look at hundreds of thousands
of people that were lost in the Middle East, Iraq,
(23:37):
all the different wars we were in, we have done
an amazing job. With that being said, I hate to
lose thirteen, I hate to lose one. But we've been
very we've been very we've been very capable. When you
think of it. We took over Venezuela and one day
we have done a similar job.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
But we said we'll give them a little chance.
Speaker 3 (23:58):
At the request of somebody that we greatly respect from Pakistan,
the Field Marshall and the Prime Minister.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
They've been great.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
They asked us would we pause the war for a
little while because they'd like to think it. So we
will do that, but we had them be they you know,
no no better now we could.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
We could close that out very quickly.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
If we can do it in a different way that
it'd be good if we get everything we we want.
But we could close that out very very quickly, and
we may have to. I don't think so, but we
may have to.
Speaker 2 (24:29):
About the World Cup.
Speaker 7 (24:30):
If I could in the US spent a lot of
money getting the World Cup here and increasing the infrastructure,
does the economic benefit out weigh the cost?
Speaker 3 (24:38):
The World Cup is great, the most successful they've ever had.
Ticket wise, it's they've never had anything to sold so quickly.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
It's amazing because it's the United States. Don't benefits.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
I call it soccer, you know, It's just it's just
easier to do because we have football and they have
two football's right, they call it football. But I never
most people never thought they'd see anything like that the
World Cup. It's turned out to be the most successful
World Cup from the standpoint of what's happening and then
they've ever had.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
Yeah, and thank you.
Speaker 5 (25:07):
So much of growing archies with turing pot USA. I
have one question for you and one question for Vice
President Jamie Bancel on fraud. What's your message to the
New Jersey leaders pushing back against Ice operations at Duane Home.
Speaker 3 (25:20):
About Ice, yes, or about Nice as I can the
Nice facility. Hey, I'd love to change the name Cold.
They do a great job and it's all paid for.
Protesters you can see by the signs.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
The signs are all.
Speaker 3 (25:33):
Made by the same beautiful factory. It's a printing planner.
In fact, I'm thinking about using it. They do such
a nice shame. These aren't protesters. These people are fake.
They're all paid for. And I will tell you Tom
Holman and that whole group, and now Mark Wade is
so incredible.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
Mark Wade, you want to just respond to that.
Speaker 3 (25:52):
We run the finest facilities anywhere in the world of
their type.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
But we have some horrible killers. We have killers.
Speaker 3 (25:58):
We have guys that have murdered numerous people in there,
and these are the people that are trying to protect.
There's nobody that runs a facility like we do.
Speaker 5 (26:07):
Do you obsessed in an agreement with Iron that just
calls for further.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
Talks on the uranium or no? The only option to
the basics.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
No, I would for some of it, you know, because
it's a memorandum of understanding for speed and one of
the things that will happen is the straight will open
immediately immediately, but it's got to be perfect.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
I'm not gonna do that. I didn't do this to
get a krummy agreement.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
The worst agreement ever signed was by Barack Hussein Obama.
What a horrible agreement that it was a setback for
this country, for the whole world. The Middle East would
have blown itself up. No, and we'd like to have
the countries. We were talking about it with Saudi Arabia,
Ue Guitar and the others. We'd like to have them
immediately join the n see Woodcoff is working on that
(26:51):
with Jared and some others, but would like to have
them join the Agram Records.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
It'll be historic if they do it, and we would
I think they I think they owe that to us,
to be honest. I think because that.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
Really would be a tremendous sign, and I think those
countries owe it to us to get them to sign.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
We're definitely pushing it. I'm not sure. I'm not sure
we should make the deal if they don'tside.
Speaker 3 (27:16):
You want to know the to if they don't sign
to join the Abraham Recurse, I don't know that we
you know, we have countries in there already UEE great
great countries, both countries, and it turned out to be
so good, so effective, and so we're you know, requesting
strongly that they join.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
It'll be great.
Speaker 3 (27:36):
It'd be great for Saudi Arabia, it'd be great for
Guitar and Kuwait.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
The whole group.
Speaker 6 (27:41):
So the Iran deal might be contingent on more countries joining.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
I don't know. I don't want to say that.
Speaker 3 (27:47):
I'm not going to give you know, what's contingent, what's not.
I can say that we can make a good deal
right now, but maybe not a great deal.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
And if it's not a.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
Great deal when I'm making it so because we can
make a great deal with this guy right here, but
it's you know, it's a lot nast here. Probably wouldn't
go as quickly, we wouldn't be talking about as quickly,
but it would be fool proof. But I think we're
doing very well. See but I think we're doing pretty
well in terms of the negotiation.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
But we'll see if it's not going to be a
real deal.
Speaker 3 (28:18):
Because Obama had that horrible JCPOA whatever it was, it
was the worst deal. It was a path for a
run to have a nuclear weapon very quickly. Years ago,
they would have had a nuclear weapon. We might not
be here talking about it right now. They would have
had a nuclear weapon. And frankly, Obama picked the wrong country.
(28:39):
He should have picked another country. I won't tell you
what it was, but he picked the wrong country when
he picked Iran. But we have things understood now with Irun.
It's been nasty, they've lost their leaders. It was and
it really is regime change. You know, we didn't set
out for regime change, but by the fact that we're
dealing with a totally different group of people than we
(29:00):
were at the beginning, and frankly, I find them to
be much more reasonable. I actually find them to be smarter,
but I find them to be much more reasonable. This
is regime change. One regime is gone, another regime is gone.
We're dealing with the third pieces of it because some
of them are gone too. And I find them I think,
(29:22):
how can you have a stronger.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
Regime change than that?
Speaker 3 (29:25):
Right?
Speaker 1 (29:25):
That was a president taking questions from the legacy media
mob during the cabinet meeting from earlier today.
Speaker 8 (29:36):
Entertaining Americans coast and ghosts. Sean Hannity is on right.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
Now no, all right, that's gonna wrap things up for today.
(30:13):
Hannity Tonight, nine Eastern on the Fox News Channel. Ken
Paxton on his big win in Texas over incumbent John Cornyn.
We'll look at the latest poll numbers with Matt Towery,
Charlie Hurt, also Stephen Miller.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
Tonight.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
Lindsey Graham thinks there's a possibility that all of these
Arab countries will join in the Abraham Accords, that this
is unprecedented. John Solomon, who he just spoke to, along
with Greg Jarrett, We'll see you tonight back here tomorrow.
Thank you for making this show possible.
All right, News round up and information overload hour. Here's
(00:02):
our toll free telephone number if you want to be
a part of the program. It's eight hundred and nine
four one sean if you want to join us. The
President had a very very critical and important Cabinet meeting today.
I love the fact that he televises it. Then he
took questions from the press, but a wide variety of issues,
from the economy, to Cuba, to Venezuela to a ran.
(00:26):
I mean, it ran the gamut, and I think it's
important that everybody hear this. Let me play the actual
meeting part, and then we'll get to some of the
q and a that he had with the legacy media
mob that's coming up straight ahead as well. Let me
play that first.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
A few words to say to you that I think
will be helpful.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
Last night was incredible, not only Texas but so.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Many other places, and.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
The numbers were fantastic, and they've really been that way
for a year. If you look, hundreds of people want
and almost nobody didn't win.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
But last night was very very powerful.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
So I'm thrilled to welcome everyone to the twelfth Cabinet
Meeting of our administration. And we're doing something that no
administration's ever done. We're always letting the press students because
we're very open and transparent. Like the word transparent, but
we're more transparent than any administration in history. To the
best of my knowledge, press has never been invited ever
(01:27):
to a cabinet meeting for any reason at all. And
in order to have you, this team has achieved more
than most other administrations achieved.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
In eight years.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
We took the most dangerous, unsafe island and open border
in the world. Anywhere in the world, there's no border
like the border we had, and created the most secure
border in the history of our country. We had no
people twelve months now, No people reported in the last twelve.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Months came in illegally.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
Zero illegal aliens admitted to the United States in the
last twelve months. And that's those charts are made by
you would say, politically unfriendly people.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
And the reason they don't come.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
In is because nobody comes up because they know that
they're going to be turned away and if they get in,
they're going to be moved out right away.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
So it's been the zero. You're the one that you
do the reports.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
I'm actually surprised by the number, and I don't know
how it can be zero, but they say it zero.
For the last twelve months and twenty twenty five, we
achieved the largest drop and the murder rate ever recorded.
So the murder rate was quite high, and we achieved
the largest drop in the murder rate ever recorded to
the lowest level one hundred and twenty five years. That's
(02:38):
see in nineteen hundred and that's despite the fact that
many people came in from prisons and from very rough countries,
and from mental institutions, and from lots of other places,
drug dealers, others. They came in illegally during the Biden administration.
We've got many of them out, but we still have
some that we're looking for. Quite a few that we're
(02:59):
still looking for. We've gotten over eleven eight hundred and
eighty eight murderers we're allowed into a country.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
We've gotten a lot of them out. We've gotten some
them we put them in jail.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
We don't even trust the country to send them because they'll.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Come back in maybe we put them in jail.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Eight hundred and eighty eight murders, more than half of
which have committed.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
More than one murder. That's what they allowed in. They should.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
They can never be forgotten for the horrible things they've
done to this country. Fentanyl coming across our voter is
now down by sixty one percent, sixty one percent, and
coming in by water, by sea, by ocean is down
ninety seven percent.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Can you mention?
Speaker 3 (03:41):
Thanks to our Republican majorities in Congress, we passed the
largest tax cuts in American history. All Democrats voted against
the tax cuts, putting more money in American spockets. This year,
the typical family got tax refunds of nearly almost less
of five thousand dollars. The stock market is set sixty
eight all time record highs since the election, So sixty
(04:04):
eight days we hit all time highs. We're right there now.
And the average four o one K. And that's despite
the conflict. I don't go to war, I called a conflict,
despite the conflict with Venezuela, who no longer has a navy,
no longer has an air force, no longer has a
lot of people that were leading the country into very
(04:25):
bad places. Their leadership is gone, Their second wrong leadership
is gone. We're dealing with the half of their third
because half of their third is gone. Ten the average
four O one k is up almost thirty thousand dollars
since I.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Took office, So the Americans are.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
Benefiting working today, we have the most working and we
have four O one k's at their all time high,
highest they've ever been. And that goes alone with the
stock market, which is the highest etceverament under my most
favorite nation agreements. This is something that I wish the
media would talk about because to me, it's one of
the biggest things ever to happen in our country, certainly
(05:03):
as to medical, anything happen to do with medical because
drug prices. We're delivering records setting discounts on prescription drugs
with price differences of four hundred, five hundred and even
six hundred percent at the Trump rx dot gov. We
recently added nearly one thousand low costs low cost generics
(05:25):
to the website. So we have drugs down four hundred,
five hundred, six hundred percent. Now you could say eighty
ninety seventy sixty to fifty percent if you want. There
are two ways. That depends on the way you asked the question.
But a pill that would sell in Germany or let's
say in London for ten dollars we're selling for here
(05:46):
for one hundred and thirty dollars, and I got the
countries to all agree, otherwise they would have had to
pay big tariffs. I don't want to go into it,
but it has some very interesting discussions.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
They said vehemently no.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
And then when I said, that's all right, We're going
to charge you fifty percent error on everything you sell
into America, they said, well, like we said, we'll say yes,
And every single country agreed, and every drug company agreed,
So we have.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Most favored nations.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
So we were paying the highest drug prices in the world.
Now we're paying the lowest drug prices.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
In the world.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
So that pill that I talked about would go from
ten dollars to twenty. The world is bigger than the
US or to believe, but it's true, so it's not
like you cut it in the middle.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
They just had to go up a little bit.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
But a little bit is a double leg of a price,
so a little bit's a lot. So the pill would
go from ten dollars to twenty dollars, and we'd go
from one hundred and thirty dollars to twenty dollars.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Think of that.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
So we would get if you remember some of you
were at the news conference.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Had my first term where I got the prices down
one eighth.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
Of a percent, one quarter one eighth of a percent
my first term, and I'm so proud of it because prices,
drug prices hadn't come down twenty eight years, and I
was the first one to do it. But now I'm
getting them down, not one eighth of a percent, I'm
getting them down four hundred, five hundred and six hundred,
or if you want to use it a different way,
you could say seventy eight nine fifty percent. Nobody's ever
(07:16):
seen anything like it, and I got that through well.
Everybody knew was taking place. But we paid the highest
prices anywhere in the world. Now we're paying the lowest
prices anywhere in the world. And the press reviews is
are right. I think it's the biggest thing. And for
health care, you know, so much of it is prescription
drug prices and drug prices, and with them coming down,
(07:38):
the healthcare is going to come down very substantially. We
recently added nearly one thousand low cost generics too, as
I said, and that's you know, one thousand drugs, and
it's all on and it's this was not a This
was not given by me. This was given by doctor
Oz and Bobby, and I, you know, wasn't sure whether
(07:58):
or not I loved the idea, but he said, we
want to use Trump Trump RX dot gov is what
it is. And it's the hottest sight I think anywhere
on the planet from what I understand Bobby, right, it's
really great. People are calling up and they're buying drugs
for a fraction for literally a fraction of the price,
and it should be the biggest story. And on that alone,
we should win the midterms. On that alone, we should
(08:20):
win the midterms. But the press doesn't talk about It's
the biggest thing to happen in the drug industry ever
maybe ever.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
And the press doesn't want to write stories about it.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
We made the largest ever investment in the US military
one trillion dollars and we're asking actually for one point
five trillion for the coming year. And we have the
strongest military anywhere in the world. As you know, you
saw what we did with Venezuela. That worked out very quickly,
and we're doing really equally as well.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Again, people don't want to write about it.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
With Ran, Ran is very much intent they want very
much to make a deal. So far they haven't gone,
and we're not satisfied with it. But then we will be.
We will be either that or we'll have to just
finish the job. But the Navy is gone, as they've
said a thousand times, the Navy is gone, their air
force is gone.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
Everything's gone.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
And they're negotiating on fumes.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
But we'll see what happens. Maybe we have to go
back and finish it. Maybe we don't. Right now.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
I mean, you can speak to Skate with Gough and
Jarrett doing a good job, But right now I think
it looks like they want to just make a deal.
They want to, they have I don't think they have
a choice. They're just going back to the internet because
they getting club with their economies.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
In free fall.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
They have two hundred and fifty percent inflation, their money
has no value, and their whole economic system is broken down.
They thought they were going to outwait me. You know,
we'll outwait him. He's got the midterms. I don't care
about the midterms. Look what happened last night, and that
was the prelude of the midterms. People understand that, they
know that, but very simple the red cannot have a
(10:02):
nuclear weapon.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
I'm doing that for the world.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
I'm not doing it just for us, and we've had
great support from other nations. By the way, we don't
need it at all, but we've had great support from
other nations. The problem is you always get the support
when you don't need it. When you need it, you
don't get the support. With Operation Epic Cure or Warriors
are ensuring that the world's number one stage sponsor of
terror never obtains a nuclear weapon, and they won't another
(10:27):
man doing the fantastic job. I think we all agree,
as Marco, You're all over the place right what she
last night, at three different locations, So tell us about
our ran.
Speaker 4 (10:37):
Well, first of all, the bottom line is Iron's never
going to have a nuclear weapon, and if recent events
have done anything, has just remind us once again that
they are the world's leading sponsor of terrorism and.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
They can never have a nuclear weapon.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
Now, the President's preference, President, your preference is told us
repeatedly is always to negotiate these things and to figure
out if you can have agreements. Diplomacy is always the
first option, and we continue to work on that to yours,
mister Woodkoff and Kushner and others Vice President who've been
very involved in if if there's an agreement to be made,
we want that to be made. I think there's been
some progress and some interest, and we'll see over the
(11:10):
next few hours and days where the projects could be made.
I just want to remind everybody, mister President, you know
this well. You have other options available to you if
that doesn't work. But the bottom line is that we
prefer the negotiated diplomatic route, and we're going to give
it every chance to succeed. You know you're giving it
every chance to succeed, mister President. But here's the bottom line.
Because I keep getting asked, what is this all about,
It's very simple. Iran and these people in charge of
(11:33):
Iran can never have a nuclear weapon, and they will
never have a nuclear weapon, and they most certainly will
not have one as long as you're President of the
United States. On that point, it's very clear. Just two
quick things I want to touch upon. One key touched
upon the border and security. Part of securing our border
is dealing with the people that are in this country,
a lawful many of whom do not want to go
back to the country that they originally came from for
(11:54):
a variety of reasons, either we can't send them there,
or some judge ties us up. And one of the
key things we have achieved is now twenty countries have
signed third country national agreements, meaning these are safe countries
where individuals who refuse to go back to their country
of origin can be sent to that country instead. We've
gotten twenty countries now around the world who have signed
agreements that allow us to deport people to those places.
(12:15):
What often happens when you go to the person who's
here a lawfully and say we're going to send you
to this third country, is all of a sudden they
decide they'd rather go back to their home country instead.
So it gives the ability to enforce all laws, and
we work very closely with the Department of Homeland Security on
that front. Something else that I know is concerning people
because it's on the news, is ebola our number one obligation.
(12:36):
You know, we're involved in foreign policy, but even our
foreign policy, the number one priority of our foreign policies
to protect the American people. We cannot and will not
allow any cases of ebola enter the United States, and
so we're very the state Department and other agencies represented here,
the Centers of Disease Control AGHS, others are working very,
very hard to contain this crisis to the countries where
(12:58):
it's currently located, particularly the dem Credit Republic Chicago, and
so we've surged assistance to make.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Sure that that is being contained there.
Speaker 4 (13:06):
And obviously multiple agencies involved here are also very involved
in tracking people just to make sure that nobody comes
into this country that has a bowline creates a problem
for us, and we feel like we've got good efforts
in place to do that. An Americans should feel assured
that the President and his administration is doing everything we
can to protect them on that front. My last point said,
I was all over the place. One of the places
I stopped in last night was to initial the Trump
(13:30):
route for prosperity in Armenia. This is a key linchpin
of the peace deal that you were able to achieve
between Armenia and Azerbaijan. And in addition to that, we
also signed a critical minerals MoU with them and a
strategic engagement one as well. So just a reminder of
another war who helped the settlements to president, but from
(13:50):
that has now we are seeing the emergence of a
great new relationship with Armenia that really had grown stagnant
for a very.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
Long period of time. So we're doing well in front
as well. In to just asking Cuba and Venezuela, what's
going on there?
Speaker 4 (14:04):
Well, interesting on Venezuela, that process continues, that three phase
process you know of, obviously stabilization, recovery, and transition. I
would just say just since January thirty this year, okay,
and I.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
Think this number is writing.
Speaker 4 (14:18):
Chris or Doug can can correct me on this, but
I think over ten million barrels I've benefit I've been
delivered to the United States since the third of January.
That industry is being professionalized for the first time ever.
It's going to the benefit of the Venezuelan people. They
are selling oil in the market at market rates. The
money is going to an account in the United States
controlled and monitored by Treasury, audited by KPMG, and it's
(14:42):
for the first time ever, the money is not being stolen.
It's going to the benefit of the Venezuelan people. Cuba's
in a lot of trouble because, unfortunately for them, it's
run by a bunch of incompetent communists. Being communists is bad.
Being an incompetent communist.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
Is like the worst.
Speaker 4 (14:58):
But the country has been taken over by this company
called basically controls seventy percent of the economy, none of
the money, and that company goes to help the Cuban.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
People, none of them. So we'll be talking to them,
we'll be working on it.
Speaker 4 (15:10):
You know, we want something good for the Cuban people
and hopefully they'll be a good outcome there for them.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
There needs to be. It's ninety miles from our shores.
Speaker 4 (15:17):
And having a failed state ninety miles from our shores
is a threat to the national security.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
Of the United States.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
Quick break right back more on the other side. The
President and his cabinet. Straight ahead as we continue, So
after the President, it began and held this cabinet meeting,
which I love is so transparent and public and on TV.
Then the President took questions from the mob legacy media mob.
Let's go to some of that Q and A.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
Any questions.
Speaker 5 (15:46):
Ron wants control of the straight or removes would you
accept a short.
Speaker 6 (15:50):
Term deal that allows Iran and Oman to control the
Strait and would they have to open it immediately?
Speaker 2 (15:55):
Or would you be open to that happening over a
period of time.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
The street's going to be open to everybody. It's international waters.
Nobody's going to control and with it and watch over it,
will watch over it, but nobody's going to control it.
That's part of the negotiation that we have.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
They would like to control. Nobody's going to control.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
It's international waters, and oman will behave just like everybody
else that will have to blow them up.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
They understand that they'll be fine. How much as a president,
thank you?
Speaker 7 (16:22):
How much economic pressure do you feel to get the
straight or forms open?
Speaker 2 (16:26):
Well? After?
Speaker 3 (16:27):
The United States has so much oil that we are
an export of oil, so we have plenty of We're
very lucky. We're blessed with the greatest piece of land
in the world from that standpoint, and we have more
than anybody else. And now when you add Venezuela to it,
we have I think sixty four percent of the world's oil.
And we're getting along very well with Venezuela. By the way,
(16:49):
it's being run really beautifully. The big companies are moving in,
they are going to be it's gonna be amazing because
it's also like us, they're very they're very blessed in
that sense. But we have noctual energy that no other
country has. We have more than anybody else. So it's
really a world problem because most of the world doesn't
have that, and we're making it available during the closing.
(17:11):
I don't know if you've seen some of the satellite pictures. Boats,
hundreds of boats lined up. It looks like I used
to say, the Long Island express As. They're lined up
and they're coming to Texas, Louisiana. They're coming to Alaska
to fill up their boat.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
The big boat.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
Some of them are really big, you know, two million gallons,
even bigger than that. Now they make them, they make
them up to four. Chris, I hear. Now they make
them up to four. The four are now.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
The big ones. Used to be the ones.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
Now it's four million barrels of Think of that, four
million barrels of oil and one boat. But they're lined up,
and they're right now heading to Texas, and they've already
filled up and they've gone back to the American In
addition to that, you have a lot of boats, about
fourteen to fifteen hundred boats in the Strait wanting to
get out and at the right time, we'll release them.
Speaker 7 (17:58):
But the American peoples are seeing higher gas prices.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Yeah, now it's come down.
Speaker 7 (18:01):
A little bit, but it's still four dollars and forty
five cents.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
It will come down a lot. It'll come down to
where it was before we had it. When I was
in Iowa, we had driving by and we saw gas
stations one dollar and ninety cents a gallon one dollar
and eighty five cents one dollar in eighty seven with
a three that we saw.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
We had it down in some places below.
Speaker 3 (18:22):
And we can't help a California where they charge so
much tax that you know, you lower it and they
charge sacks. They've got to straighten the act out in California.
But we had we had gasoling down to a very
low number. I think we'll be hitting that number shortly
after that whole excursion ends.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
Do they any more urgent?
Speaker 3 (18:40):
But regardless of anything, regardless of anything, as Marcos said
better than anybody can say it, you can't let them
have a nuclear weapon. They would use it instantly. They
wouldn't think about it, they would use it instantly. I've
gotten to know them. They would use it instead.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
Did they give you more urgency? Mis their president. You've
said that you're a no rush to make a deal.
Speaker 7 (18:58):
But with gas prices that are so high across the country,
people are paying more for travel.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
Does that give you more urgency to make a deal.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
Why doesn't Well, I'll tell you the primary urgency. I
said this, It was uncovered properly. But the primary urgency
is that we can't let Iran have a nuclear weapon.
But at the same time, we have a tremendous amount
of oil, gas, coal, we have tremendous amounts of energy.
We're plused with something very special. Those prices are going
to come down. They're going to come down fast.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
I think.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
I think that you'll see, Actually, Todd, I think you're
going to see a low prices that we had even
before we did this. Now I knew there'd be an increase.
I said, we have a choice. We don't have to
do anything. And in two years or one year or
two months, because Iran would have had if we didn't
hit that with the B two bombers, Iran would have
had a nuclear weapon within two weeks from that date
because they were ready to go. And if they had
(19:48):
a new nuclear weapon, it would have been used already.
It also would have been used. Had I not terpinated
the Obama deal, the Iron Nuclear Deal as we call it,
that was in.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
My first term. Had I know terminated that they would
have had a nuclear weapon a long time ago.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
I would say it was a guarantee that it would
have been used, and it.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
Would have blown up Israel.
Speaker 3 (20:09):
It would have blown up the entire Middle East, and
that's never gonna happen.
Speaker 6 (20:12):
Yeah, Iran, would you be comfortable with Russia or China
taking their stockpile of highly enriched geranium and have they
offered to be.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
No, I wouldn't be helpful. That would not make me go.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
Is the US considering easing sanctions on Iran to will allow
Iran to sell its crew to market? No, we're not
talking about any easing of sanctions and giving money. No sanctions,
no money, no nothing.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
We have control of money that they claim is Theirs.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
Will keep control of that money. When they behave properly
and when they do what's right, we'll let them have
their money. But right now we're not doing that, and
it's done. One thing is not contingent on the other.
Speaker 6 (20:53):
Mister President, on the shooting last weekend, it came barely
a month after the third assassination attend against you during
the White House versus cnent Sinner, What was your reaction
when you first heard about the latest shooting and what
gives to the car Is you really keep doing your
job effectively without thinking about these threats every day?
Speaker 3 (21:08):
Well, I can't think about it because if I thought
about it a lot, you know, I wouldn't be very
good president. I wouldn't be here, probably be up in
some nown with a locked door. It's just leave me alone,
it's all. I can't really think about it. If it's
such something that it's a sad part of life. It's
a dangerous business. What I'm doing is a dangerous business.
(21:29):
And they say, and look, we have been maybe the
most consequential, but we certainly have been one of the
most consequential. This group has been a very consequential administration.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
And they say, if you're not.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
Consequential, you don't have so much problem. If you are consequential,
you do. So you have to look at that. But
it's a shame, it's a sad it's a very sad factor.
Loved anybody in office, not only in this country, in
other countries too. But when you are a consequential. President,
your life is in great danger.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
I knew that.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
Mister President, How would you characterize the current state of
the talks with iron I guess.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
If that were a football field, what yard line would
you be on? Well, I think we're doing very well.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
They are starting to give us the things that they
have to give us, and if they do, that's great.
And if they won't, then the man on my left
is going to finish them off.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Is there a time frame in your mind? What is
there a time frame in your mind for I mean,
it happens quickly.
Speaker 3 (22:28):
The problem is every time I mentioned in time frame,
for instance, I see, you know, we've been doing this
for a few months. Via Latnam lasted nineteen years, Korea
lasted eight years, Afghanistan lasted many years. There were many
many years, and we're into it for a few months.
And I read about you people like you. What's taken
(22:49):
so long?
Speaker 2 (22:49):
But we're in it.
Speaker 3 (22:51):
You know, we lost between two wars, two big wars,
Venezuela and Iran. We lost thirteen souls, thirteen great people
at the Paris people and it's a terrible thing, but
thirteen if you look at the war casualties and the
deaths and wars or Vietnamino that they lost hundreds of
thousands of people, and numerous of these wars. We're very
(23:16):
cognizant that we want to lose very few, we want
very few to be injured. Were very we're very careful.
But war's war. War's dangerous. But we've lost thirteen. So
the Democrats took an end putting into thirteen people that
were lost, and when you look at hundreds of thousands
of people that were lost in the Middle East, Iraq,
(23:37):
all the different wars we were in, we have done
an amazing job. With that being said, I hate to
lose thirteen, I hate to lose one. But we've been
very we've been very we've been very capable. When you
think of it. We took over Venezuela and one day
we have done a similar job.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
But we said we'll give them a little chance.
Speaker 3 (23:58):
At the request of somebody that we greatly respect from Pakistan,
the Field Marshall and the Prime Minister.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
They've been great.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
They asked us would we pause the war for a
little while because they'd like to think it. So we
will do that, but we had them be they you know,
no no better now we could.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
We could close that out very quickly.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
If we can do it in a different way that
it'd be good if we get everything we we want.
But we could close that out very very quickly, and
we may have to. I don't think so, but we
may have to.
Speaker 2 (24:29):
About the World Cup.
Speaker 7 (24:30):
If I could in the US spent a lot of
money getting the World Cup here and increasing the infrastructure,
does the economic benefit out weigh the cost?
Speaker 3 (24:38):
The World Cup is great, the most successful they've ever had.
Ticket wise, it's they've never had anything to sold so quickly.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
It's amazing because it's the United States. Don't benefits.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
I call it soccer, you know, It's just it's just
easier to do because we have football and they have
two football's right, they call it football. But I never
most people never thought they'd see anything like that the
World Cup. It's turned out to be the most successful
World Cup from the standpoint of what's happening and then
they've ever had.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
Yeah, and thank you.
Speaker 5 (25:07):
So much of growing archies with turing pot USA. I
have one question for you and one question for Vice
President Jamie Bancel on fraud. What's your message to the
New Jersey leaders pushing back against Ice operations at Duane Home.
Speaker 3 (25:20):
About Ice, yes, or about Nice as I can the
Nice facility. Hey, I'd love to change the name Cold.
They do a great job and it's all paid for.
Protesters you can see by the signs.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
The signs are all.
Speaker 3 (25:33):
Made by the same beautiful factory. It's a printing planner.
In fact, I'm thinking about using it. They do such
a nice shame. These aren't protesters. These people are fake.
They're all paid for. And I will tell you Tom
Holman and that whole group, and now Mark Wade is
so incredible.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
Mark Wade, you want to just respond to that.
Speaker 3 (25:52):
We run the finest facilities anywhere in the world of
their type.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
But we have some horrible killers. We have killers.
Speaker 3 (25:58):
We have guys that have murdered numerous people in there,
and these are the people that are trying to protect.
There's nobody that runs a facility like we do.
Speaker 5 (26:07):
Do you obsessed in an agreement with Iron that just
calls for further.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
Talks on the uranium or no? The only option to
the basics.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
No, I would for some of it, you know, because
it's a memorandum of understanding for speed and one of
the things that will happen is the straight will open
immediately immediately, but it's got to be perfect.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
I'm not gonna do that. I didn't do this to
get a krummy agreement.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
The worst agreement ever signed was by Barack Hussein Obama.
What a horrible agreement that it was a setback for
this country, for the whole world. The Middle East would
have blown itself up. No, and we'd like to have
the countries. We were talking about it with Saudi Arabia,
Ue Guitar and the others. We'd like to have them
immediately join the n see Woodcoff is working on that
(26:51):
with Jared and some others, but would like to have
them join the Agram Records.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
It'll be historic if they do it, and we would
I think they I think they owe that to us,
to be honest. I think because that.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
Really would be a tremendous sign, and I think those
countries owe it to us to get them to sign.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
We're definitely pushing it. I'm not sure. I'm not sure
we should make the deal if they don'tside.
Speaker 3 (27:16):
You want to know the to if they don't sign
to join the Abraham Recurse, I don't know that we
you know, we have countries in there already UEE great
great countries, both countries, and it turned out to be
so good, so effective, and so we're you know, requesting
strongly that they join.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
It'll be great.
Speaker 3 (27:36):
It'd be great for Saudi Arabia, it'd be great for
Guitar and Kuwait.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
The whole group.
Speaker 6 (27:41):
So the Iran deal might be contingent on more countries joining.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
I don't know. I don't want to say that.
Speaker 3 (27:47):
I'm not going to give you know, what's contingent, what's not.
I can say that we can make a good deal
right now, but maybe not a great deal.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
And if it's not a.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
Great deal when I'm making it so because we can
make a great deal with this guy right here, but
it's you know, it's a lot nast here. Probably wouldn't
go as quickly, we wouldn't be talking about as quickly,
but it would be fool proof. But I think we're
doing very well. See but I think we're doing pretty
well in terms of the negotiation.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
But we'll see if it's not going to be a
real deal.
Speaker 3 (28:18):
Because Obama had that horrible JCPOA whatever it was, it
was the worst deal. It was a path for a
run to have a nuclear weapon very quickly. Years ago,
they would have had a nuclear weapon. We might not
be here talking about it right now. They would have
had a nuclear weapon. And frankly, Obama picked the wrong country.
(28:39):
He should have picked another country. I won't tell you
what it was, but he picked the wrong country when
he picked Iran. But we have things understood now with Irun.
It's been nasty, they've lost their leaders. It was and
it really is regime change. You know, we didn't set
out for regime change, but by the fact that we're
dealing with a totally different group of people than we
(29:00):
were at the beginning, and frankly, I find them to
be much more reasonable. I actually find them to be smarter,
but I find them to be much more reasonable. This
is regime change. One regime is gone, another regime is gone.
We're dealing with the third pieces of it because some
of them are gone too. And I find them I think,
(29:22):
how can you have a stronger.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
Regime change than that?
Speaker 3 (29:25):
Right?
Speaker 1 (29:25):
That was a president taking questions from the legacy media
mob during the cabinet meeting from earlier today.
Speaker 8 (29:36):
