At a joint press event with Argentina’s president, Trump pauses to tell a female reporter how much he likes watching her speak, threatens to “violently disarm” Hamas, and compares his body to Joe Biden’s — all while handing Argentina twenty billion dollars. Because nothing says “statesman” like flirting, flexing, and foreign aid.

Speaker 1 (00:03):
Callaroga shark media from Washington, d C. Where women are
doing their jobs and should not be ogled by old men.
This is ballot, that's right. But hey, look at who
we're talking about. Let's hit this. I'm Patrick Gutfield and
President Trump held a press event Tuesday with Argentine President
(00:25):
Paviere Millay. When a female reporter tried to ask a
question as staffers were ushering the press out, Trump, who
is seventy nine years old, stopped everything to tell her
he liked to watch her speak. Sir, she's trying to
do her job, not audition for your approval. This happened
at the same event where Trump threatened to violently disarm Hamas,
gave twenty billion dollars to Argentina, and said he didn't
(00:48):
need to explain his military strategy to anyone, but he
had time to stop and comment on how much he
enjoys watching a reporter talk. The reporter was attempting to
ask an actual question. You know, journalism the thing reporters do,
but apparently we needed a moment to appreciate the visual
experience first. In the middle of all this, Trump casually
(01:10):
announced that if Hamas doesn't disarm the United States will
disarm them quickly and perhaps violently. When asked for specifics
on how exactly we do that, Trump said, I don't
have to explain that to you, which is a refreshing
change from politicians who over explain things why bore us
with details like military strategy or congressional approval. Trump said
(01:32):
he spoke directly to Hamas and asked if they disarm. Yes, sir,
we're going to disarm, they told him. So, We're good, Hamas,
Pinky promised. Then Trump went on what he called a tangent,
suggesting Hamas can't disarm yet because they need to take
out a couple of gangs that were very bad. So
Hamas needs to clean up Gaza before giving up their weapons. Sure,
(01:54):
let the terrorist organization handle some lighthouse keeping first. Israeli
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyah, who said Friday that if disarmament
happens the easy way, it's all for the better, and
if not, it will be achieved the hard way. Everyone's
really committed to, keeping their options vague. Meanwhile, Hamas was
supposed to return the bodies of twenty eight deceased hostages,
(02:16):
but only returned four on Monday and four on Tuesday.
The four from Tuesday haven't even been identified yet. During negotiations,
Hamas warned they wouldn't be able to recover all the
remains by the seventy two hour deadline. Israel's defense minister
said Hamas was failing to meet its commitments. Trump accused
Hamas of having misrepresented the number of dead hostages they
(02:39):
could return. We were told they had twenty six, twenty
four of the dead hostages, and it seems as though
they don't have that. So not only did they miss
the deadline, they apparently don't have all the bodies. They
said they had strong start to the peace process, but
don't worry. Hama said yes, sir when Trump asked about disarming.
And if there's one thing we know about Hamas, it's
(03:01):
that they're real sticklers for keeping their word. President Trump
was asked Tuesday if he'd visit Argentina and said he'd
love to, but then went on an extended riff about
beach bodies. I'd like to be like Biden. I'd like
to go to the beach, Trump said. My legs are
not quite as thin as his. My legs are slightly heavier,
my arms are slightly larger. My body is a little
(03:21):
bit larger than his. I'm not sure it would be
appreciated on the beach, but I'm not going to take
a chance. You won't see me in a bathing suit.
This is what we're discussing at a White House event
about a twenty billion dollar bailout beach bodies. Trump, who
is seventy nine and was diagnosed in July with a
condition that causes legs swelling, has repeatedly mocked Biden for
(03:43):
vacationing at Rehoboth Beach, but now he's taken it to
the next level by providing a detailed comparative analysis of
their physiques. My arms are slightly larger. Thank you for
that visual, mister president. The comment came as Trump was
trying to bolster Argentine President Javier Melay ahead of closely
watched midterm elections on October twenty sixth. Trump said US
(04:07):
support depends entirely on Mela winning. If he wins, we're
staying with him, and if he doesn't win, we're gone.
So we're giving Argentina twenty billion dollars, but only if
they elect the right guy. That's not how bailouts usually work.
But sure. Trump called Melay his favorite president. Melay is
a self described radical libertarian who made his name with
(04:28):
a slash spending mantra, an unusual hairstyle, and a claim
that he seeks political advice from his dogs. His dogs
his political advisors are dogs. But at least Trump won't
be wearing a bathing suit in Buenos Aire's small mercies.
President Trump held a Medal of Freedom ceremony Tuesday for
(04:50):
Charlie Kirk, the Turning Point USA founder, who was assassinated
at a Utah College campus five weeks ago. It would
have been Kirk's thirty second birthday. Trump called Kirk a
true American hero whose name would be entered forever into
the eternal roster of American heroes. Then he spent much
of the speech talking about himself. The ceremony was held
(05:12):
on the patio that replaced much of the Rose Guard
in this past summer. Trump remarked that people are loving
the controversial renovation and suggested the nice weather was God's
doing because he didn't want bad weather for the late
great Charlie Kirk. Trump told Kirk's widow, Erica, that she
had endured unspeakable hardship. With unbelievable strength. He also told
her that before meeting her, Kirk had said, you won't
(05:34):
believe how beautiful she is. Now that I meet her,
He's right, then, Trump added, but then he also said,
she's the smartest person I know. See, they do go
together on occasion, not often, but on occasion. Nothing honors
a fallen activist quite like telling his widow that beauty
and intelligence rarely coincide. Trump praised Kirk as a fearless
(05:56):
warrior for liberty and noted that Turning Point has become
bigger in the last few weeks than Charlie ever thought.
He credited Kirk with helping him win more young people
than any Republican by far in the history of our
country in twenty twenty four. But then Trump kept wandering
off script in jarring moments, he'd pivot from solemn remarks
(06:16):
about Kirk to bragging about his own administration. At one point,
he boasted that DC restaurants were booming and dinner reservations
were hard to find thanks to his deployment of National
Guard troops across the district. Sir, we're eulogizing someone. Trump
attacked far left radicals who resort to desperate acts of
(06:36):
violence and terror, and said they have the devil's ideology.
Then he singled out Jay Jones, the Democratic nominee for
Virginia Attorney General, whose campaign has been doggied by controversial
texts joking about violence against Republicans. Let's see how that
turns out. Trump said, So he turned a memorial service
into a campaign stop for a state level Republican candidate,
(06:59):
Sarah Harmony. Was attended by Vice President j d Vance,
House Speaker Mike Johnson, Fox News personalities past and present,
and Argentine President Javier Milay. Trump looked around and said,
we have everybody. Wow. Kirk is the first person to
receive the Medal of Freedom in Trump's second term. During
his first term, Trump awarded it to Rush Limbaugh, Jim Jordan,
(07:22):
and Orrin Hatch. He's announced plans to award it next
to his disbarred former attorney Rudy Giuliani and Ben Carson.
Trump described Kirk's death as a horrible, heinous, demonic act
of murder and said Kirk was cut down in the
prime of his life for boldly speaking the truth. He
called it a privilege to award the honor. Then he
(07:44):
talked about restaurant reservations again,
