Speaker 1 (00:11):
I believe that making America great again is your goal,
and I believe that that is what is currently taking
place in America.

Speaker 2 (00:18):
And I think the most important.

Speaker 1 (00:20):
Thing of that is the Dow Jones Index, which reached
a record high recently, although it went down a bit,
but it reached a record high.

Speaker 2 (00:26):
And so I think that America is becoming great again.

Speaker 3 (00:30):
Mars marchin Joan.

Speaker 1 (00:41):
So I believe that there is a renaissance taking place
not only in the ship building sector, but also in
the manufacturing industry. And I hope that Korea can be
a part of that renaissance.

Speaker 3 (01:00):
In Kian.

Speaker 2 (01:08):
And one thing that I.

Speaker 1 (01:09):
Would like that I wanted to say to you is
that America's role not as a keeper of peace but
a maker of peace is being more.

Speaker 2 (01:21):
Is emerging more evidently.

Speaker 4 (01:23):
Urope, Asia, Africa, Cologne, Jago.

Speaker 1 (01:35):
Many wars in Europe, in Asia, in Africa, and in
the Middle East are coming to peace because of the
role that you are playing. So among the many world leaders,
I don't I believe that you are the only leader

(01:57):
who has made such accomplishments to.

Speaker 4 (02:02):
UA and then.

Speaker 1 (02:11):
Trum and I would like to mention that they're the
only remaining divide divide.

Speaker 2 (02:31):
Nation in the world is the Korean.

Speaker 1 (02:32):
Peninsula, and I would like to ask for your role
in establishing peace on the Korean Peninsula. So I look
forward to your meeting with Kim John Chermany Kim John
Un and construction of Trump Tower in North Korea and
playing golf a place.

Speaker 2 (02:52):
I believe he will be waiting for you.

Speaker 3 (03:00):
Part them Una.

Speaker 5 (03:10):
Mia.

Speaker 1 (03:14):
Korea was able to attain economic growth and development through
our iron clad alliance, and going forward, I hope to
develop our alliance into a future oriented alliance that encompasses
areas not only limited to security, but also the economy
and science and technology.

Speaker 4 (03:31):
Teamingukumitted Monza Das Shampo.

Speaker 1 (03:39):
The Korean people have great expectations for you, mister President.
Thank you once again for your time.

Speaker 6 (03:44):
Well, thank you very much. It's the honor to be
with you.

Speaker 5 (03:46):
I will say that Kim Jong un.

Speaker 6 (03:49):
And I had a very good relationship, as you remember
and still do. And when I came in, I didn't
know we had two summits, but we became very friendly. Respect.
It was great respect and it was not going to
be that way. Had Hillary Clinton won the election, it

(04:09):
would have been a disaster. But we think we can
do something in that regard with respect to North and
South and I think you are much more prone to
doing that than other leaders that I've been working with
from South.

Speaker 5 (04:23):
Korea, and we'll work on that. I think it's very
good to work with that.

Speaker 6 (04:26):
If you remember, you were doing the Olympics and there
was a great time of hostility with North Korea and
you weren't selling tickets because nobody wanted to be blown
up in the stadium doing the opening ceremonies, right, And
you were not selling tickets. And I was also at
by formative stage with North Korea and Kim jongun, and

(04:47):
we were a little bit going at it about Rocketman
little rocket Man, back and forth, and it was really nasty.
And then I got a call one day and they
wanted to get together. They wanted to talk, and we
started talking and then he said, really brilliantly, he said,
you know, the Olympics is going to be opening very soon,

(05:09):
and we'd like to be a part of it.

Speaker 5 (05:11):
They actually put teams in it.

Speaker 6 (05:12):
You got along great, and by the way, immediately upon
that phone call, you started selling tickets and it turned
out to be a tremendous success. So it went from
being empty stadiums because people were afraid to go because
it was a target potentially to a great success. And
I was very proud of that. You had one of
the most successful Olympics, and now we have the Olympics

(05:33):
coming to the US, so we're very happy about that.
But that was a great honor to get involved and
make the Olympics so successful.

Speaker 7 (05:41):
Then Kimono and jung Kuget, you are geat count you
with that and watch me that my nag to.

Speaker 2 (07:25):
Uh Sachi.

Speaker 4 (07:29):
Don't be missair Man Chim.

Speaker 1 (07:39):
Mister President, you mentioned about Chairman Kim and thanks to
your efforts. When you were in office during your first term,
the situation on the Korean.

Speaker 2 (07:48):
Peninsula was stable.

Speaker 1 (07:50):
But during the short the hiatus where you were out
of office, your Korea.

Speaker 2 (07:55):
Developed further it's nuclear and miss.

Speaker 1 (07:58):
Capabilities, and that that to a deterioration on the situation
of the Korean peninsula.

Speaker 6 (08:03):
And they wouldn't have done that. They would have done
that if I were present.

Speaker 2 (08:15):
I completely agree with you, Kimila.

Speaker 10 (08:22):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (08:26):
Dylan Ilan, Jan Pil and Kang.

Speaker 6 (08:32):
So.

Speaker 1 (08:33):
When Kimyo Jong, the deputy director of the Worker's Party
of Korea, issued a statement denouncing UH Korea South Korea UH,
she mentioned about the good relationship, not bad relationship between.

Speaker 2 (08:47):
You and herman Kim Jong un, and I believe that
this is a sign that worth Korea is waiting.

Speaker 1 (08:52):
Hamband So, I hope that you will assure again a new.

Speaker 2 (08:58):
Era of peace on the Korean.

Speaker 5 (09:01):
I will do that and we'll have talks. He liked
to meet with me.

Speaker 6 (09:06):
He didn't wanna meet with Biden because he had no
respect for Biden. But we look forward to meeting with him,
and UH, we'll make relations better.

Speaker 5 (09:14):
You'll help that.

Speaker 6 (09:15):
Uh. You had a lot of UH leaders. I've gone
through a lot of UH leaders in South Korea. You
know it's been quick. You'll be there for a long time.
But we UH in the various leaders that I've dealt with,
and they were not approaching it properly in my opinion,
having to do with North Korea. But I think your
your approach is a much better one.

Speaker 5 (09:37):
Yeah, okay, I.

Speaker 10 (09:38):
Gets to meet down Kim and no Georgiana Timana didn't.

Speaker 11 (09:43):
My no was pa.

Speaker 12 (09:50):
O.

Speaker 5 (09:56):
So you did you?

Speaker 4 (10:01):
Manhattan Chair Jo Gig attired kids something and ship channel
something the chief.

Speaker 1 (10:14):
So resolving this UH issue through my engagement is not
an easy thing.

Speaker 2 (10:19):
And UH the only person that can make uh uh
progress on this issue is you, mister President.

Speaker 3 (10:26):
Detin gives a peace to tell him career she will.

Speaker 1 (10:30):
I said, so if you become the the peacemaker, then
I will assist you by being a pacemaker.

Speaker 2 (10:37):
That's good.

Speaker 5 (10:38):
We we can do. We can do, big brothers.

Speaker 6 (10:40):
I think with Dodger absolutely what it is.

Speaker 10 (10:43):
So how can you do about.

Speaker 6 (10:47):
Thank Thank you very much, Thank you very much.

Speaker 5 (10:50):
Okay, good job, Okay.

Speaker 13 (10:53):
Questions flysh mister president, when you met with Rochen President
Vladimir Putin? How soon did he say that he wanted
to se down with Ukrainian President Zelensky? Russia as of
now says there's no meeting on the books and no
agenda has set.

Speaker 5 (11:05):
Well, that's going to be up to them. It takes
two to tango.

Speaker 6 (11:08):
I always say it, and they should meet, I think
before I have a meeting and probably close the deal.
But I think it's appropriate they meet. They do not
exactly get along well because you can understand, and I'm
sure it's a meeting that perhaps he didn't like, but
he wasn't happy about coming to the United States either.
That was a big concession, and I appreciate the fact

(11:30):
that he did. You know, I've always had a very
good relationship, despite a fake Russia Russia Russia haunt that
we had, but we've always had a great relationship, very
good relationship, strong relationship with Russia. That's a good thing,
not a bad thing, by the way, that's a very
good thing. And it's good to get along with Kim
Jong un, and it's get along with everybody, including President Lee.

Speaker 5 (11:53):
It's good to get along. And I get along with
the foreign leaders.

Speaker 6 (11:56):
You see that with the biggest group of foreign leaders
that we've ever had. Don't forget the European Union was
here also representing a large group of countries just recently.

Speaker 5 (12:06):
So I believe that we're going to get that war
straighten out.

Speaker 6 (12:12):
We're going to get it done. I don't know that
they'll meet. Maybe they will, maybe they won't. They'd like
me to be at the meeting. I said, you guys
are to work it out. It's between you, it's not
us now. In the meantime, we're not spending any money
on as you know. In Ukraine, we're selling military equipment
to NATO. Now is taken in excuse me, NATO now

(12:33):
is taken in a large amount of money from the countries.
They're taking in five percent of GDP versus two percent.
They're paying them five percent. They never paid the two percent.
Most of them are a lot of them. NATO has
a lot of money. We are selling military equipment to
NATO at full price, and NATO's distributing that equipment to

(12:53):
wherever they are. I mean perhaps to Ukraine. So NATO's
working with Ukraine. Biden was giving hundreds of billions of dollars,
just willing Nelly, just given money. He had no idea
where it was going. It was terrible what was happening.
So we're not involved anymore. In terms of the cost,
we're in for three hundred and fifty billion dollars. As
you know, I also got the rare Earth deal done

(13:17):
with Ukraine, which was worth much more.

Speaker 5 (13:19):
Than the three hundred and fifty billion dollars.

Speaker 6 (13:21):
But I'm not interested in the money so much, even
though we've done a great job in that regard.

Speaker 5 (13:25):
I'm not interested in that.

Speaker 6 (13:27):
I'm interested in stopping a war where last week seven thousand,
one hundred and nine soldiers died, both Russian and Ukraine.

Speaker 5 (13:37):
Such a waste of life and humanity.

Speaker 6 (13:40):
They're not from this country, they're not from any other
country other than Ukraine for the most part, other than
Ukraine and Russia. But it's a very important thing to
me to stop it. I stopped seven wars, wars that
were raging one for thirty one years, the Congo and
as you know, Rwanda for thirty five years.

Speaker 5 (14:01):
I don't have to go into them. You know the
list better than I do.

Speaker 6 (14:04):
But we stopped a lot of wars, including you think
about it, Indian Pakistan, which was probably two weeks away
from being a nuclear war. That were shooting down airplanes
all over the place. So I'm very proud of that.
I thought this would be, in many ways, the easiest way.
I have a very good relationship with Butt. I thought
it would be the easiest one to stop, and it's
really not. It's very complex, it's very personal from their standpoint.

(14:28):
Is tremendous dislike personally between.

Speaker 5 (14:31):
The two men, and we're gonna have to strain that out.
But I would like to see them meet first. They'd
like me to be there. I may be there, I
may not. I'll see.

Speaker 6 (14:40):
But I wanted them to work out their differences first
because it is ultimately between them.

Speaker 5 (14:45):
And when that happens, I think we'll get an end.

Speaker 10 (14:49):
Maybe they don't. How long are you willing to let
this play out?

Speaker 13 (14:52):
And if they don't meet, will there be consequences?

Speaker 10 (14:54):
And how soon?

Speaker 14 (14:55):
For Russia?

Speaker 6 (14:55):
There could be very big consequences, But we'll see what happens.
They might be very big conserquit because this is something
that has to end. This war would have never taken place,
and for four years it didn't take place. But if
I were president, this war would have never taken place.

Speaker 5 (15:09):
There has not been a war like this since the
Second World War.

Speaker 6 (15:12):
This is the biggest thing that's happened in terms of
warfare wars. It's a whole new form of fighting. It's
a drone fighting. It's a drone war. A drone war
never existed before. And we're actually studying it. From the
standpoint of Pete Hegseth and everybody was studying it and
studying it very carefully.

Speaker 5 (15:30):
This is a whole new form of war.

Speaker 6 (15:32):
But it's a violent war and there has been nothing
like this since the Second World War. So we'll see
what happens over the next week or two, and at
that point I'll step in very strongly, and if I
have to be there, I'll be there and we'll either
have a dealer we won't.

Speaker 5 (15:49):
But a lot of people are dying and I want
to get a Kim Jongan wants to meet. When do
you want to meet with him? To meet?

Speaker 10 (16:00):
How soon would you always want.

Speaker 5 (16:01):
To have a meeting? I like to have a meeting.
I got along greade with him. You know you were there.

Speaker 6 (16:06):
We even had a press conference. He had his first
press conference. Kim Jong and had a press conference. This
was a little different press conference. I said, have you
done a press conference before?

Speaker 8 (16:16):
No?

Speaker 6 (16:18):
And you know what he did great. It was a
great press conference. Actually it was historic. I doubt he's
done one since. But I said, would you like to
meet the fake news? He says, whatever you want to do,
and they came in, and they came in like you've
never seen anything like it. And then he said enough
and that was the end of the It ended very rapidly,

(16:42):
but I think he had a good time.

Speaker 5 (16:45):
I look forward to.

Speaker 6 (16:46):
Meeting with Kim jonga in the appropriate future.

Speaker 2 (16:51):
Korea.

Speaker 14 (16:52):
When you produced the number of forces in South Korea
in the United States, it's gotta have more flexibility in
the region, said, would you consider using the number of
US forces in South Korea so that the United States.

Speaker 6 (17:03):
Can have more I want to say that now because
we've been friends and we're friends, and look, we have
a lot of people of that. We have over forty
thousand troops in South Korea. As you know, South Korea
agreed to pay for that during my last term, and
then when Biden came in, they complained to Biden that
I wasn't a nice person, and he agreed.

Speaker 5 (17:22):
Not to pay. He gave up billions of dollars.

Speaker 6 (17:25):
We were getting paid billions of dollars, but then Biden
ended that for whatever reason, it's unbelievable that he did.
But we have a very good relationship militarily. They would say,
but we gave you land. They said, no, you didn't
you lease us land. There's a big difference between giving
and leasing, and maybe one of the things I'd like

(17:46):
to do is ask them to give us ownership of the.

Speaker 5 (17:48):
Land where we have the big fort.

Speaker 6 (17:50):
You know, we spent a lot of money building a fort,
and there was a contribution made by South Korea.

Speaker 5 (17:55):
But I would like to see if we could get
rid of the lease.

Speaker 6 (17:57):
And get ownership of the land where we have a
massive military base.

Speaker 2 (18:06):
Thank you, mister President.

Speaker 11 (18:07):
How are you planning to make I also want to
ask this question to mister present you with I'm Tony
and I am from South Korea's ad EAM TV.

Speaker 10 (18:15):
Thank you so much.

Speaker 12 (18:16):
So.

Speaker 11 (18:16):
As mentioned earlier in the United States, is South Korea's
most important and closest allies. So in this point of view,
I would like to ask you and also President E,
what do you think are the key ways to make
the South Korea US alliance greater?

Speaker 6 (18:30):
Well, I think it's great now. I feel very warmly
pored South Korea. I will tell you that I have
a lot of people in business.

Speaker 5 (18:39):
That I deal with that are from South Korea.

Speaker 6 (18:42):
They love Trump because they feel I've saved.

Speaker 5 (18:44):
I think you would have had a nuclear war.

Speaker 6 (18:46):
I by word, I think you would have had a
nuclear war North Korea and South Korea.

Speaker 5 (18:51):
I think it would have been a disaster.

Speaker 6 (18:52):
You're only sixty miles away from so they don't even
need nuclear They have their cannons, you know howardsis, and
they haven't buried in the mountain, you know what I'm
saying talking about.

Speaker 5 (19:01):
And I think you would have had if I didn't,
if I didn't win.

Speaker 6 (19:04):
That election, if Hillary Clinton crookedt Hillary won that election,
I think.

Speaker 5 (19:08):
You would have had a nuclear war.

Speaker 6 (19:10):
It would have taken place, and it would have been
horrendous for everybody, including them.

Speaker 5 (19:15):
It would have been very.

Speaker 6 (19:16):
Bad for them because we would have had to enter
the picture, and we are the most powerful nuclear country
in the world by far. Russia's second, China's China's going
to catch eventually five or six years. They're working to catch.
One of the things we're trying to do with Russia
and with China is denuclearization, and well, it's very important

(19:38):
one of the things I discussed with President putin the
other It wasn't just that, it was also other things.
And I think the denuclearization is a very it's a
big aim. But Russia's willing to do it, and I
think China is going to be willing to do it too.
We can't let nuclear weapons proliferate. We have to stop

(20:00):
numplear weapons, the powers to learn, you know.

Speaker 5 (20:02):
Okay, thank you. Let's ask you a.

Speaker 8 (20:04):
Further question about South Korea and US alliance. I'm Anna
from the Korea Times, and I'd like to ask you
about the trade deal that's on the table. You mentioned
about the ship building industry and presidently mentioned about the
manufacturing industry, and what other areas are sectors that you
intend to focus on this trade deal because Korea is

(20:25):
bringing in many investments and treat jobs this also, i'd
like to know the opinions of both how to get
a beneficial outcomes for both countries.

Speaker 6 (20:36):
Do this deal. We get along Greade because we you know,
we really sort of need each other.

Speaker 5 (20:43):
We love what they do, We love their product.

Speaker 6 (20:45):
We love their ships, we love a lot of the
things that they make, and they love what we have.
We're dealing with them on Alaska having to do with
the oil. They need. You need oil, and we have it.
So we have a big advantage in that way. We
have a big We have more oil and ass and
call and energy than any other country in the world
by far. Not for whatever reason, God was very good

(21:06):
to us. He gave us the greatest We didn't use it.
We started to use wind. Wind doesn't work. They started
to use solar panels that took over the land all
over the Midwest, where the farmers said, what happened to
my land? That have a ten mile by ten miles
solar field that they couldn't farm. The most valuable land
farming land in the world, probably the most vibrant in

(21:27):
the world.

Speaker 5 (21:28):
And they put solar plants all over the place.

Speaker 6 (21:30):
It's ridiculous, a big, massive black fields of solar that
all comes out of China, or plastic all comes out
of China.

Speaker 10 (21:38):
But we.

Speaker 6 (21:40):
Have the greatest amount of energy in the world. And
we're dealing with South Korea, as you know, in Alaska,
and we're going to be making a deal a joint
venture with South Korea. Japan has involved also very strongly involved.
So we have Japan and South Korea and we're actually
the closest. You know, it seems like quite far away Alaska,
and but actually it's right up the little ocean, right

(22:03):
up the little Pacific Ocean.

Speaker 5 (22:05):
It's actually pretty close relatively speaking.

Speaker 6 (22:07):
But we have more oil and gas and coal than
any other nation in the world by far, and we're
going to use it. And that's the thing that South Korea,
I think most wants from US.

Speaker 5 (22:18):
I would think.

Speaker 6 (22:21):
Them to meet with the North Korean leader.

Speaker 5 (22:25):
Would you go back to the DMZ to meet with
the North Korea leader? I loved it.

Speaker 6 (22:29):
Remember when I walked across the line and everyone went crazy,
especially Secret Service, I would say, And I looked into
those windows, you know, the windows of glass, said you
could only see if you look to recause there was
all sorts of stuff. But I looked in and I
saw more rifles pointing at me that you could There
were a lot of rifles in that building.

Speaker 5 (22:50):
The Secret Service was not happy.

Speaker 6 (22:53):
You know the buildings I'm talking about, the two blue
buildings on each side. And I walked up the middle
and I looked in the window and I saw more
guns in that room than I've ever seen in my life.
I looked at the other side and it was the
same thing. And yet I felt safe. I felt safe
because I have a great relationship with Kim Jong. I

(23:13):
hope to say that where I think it will. I
have a very good relationship, I understand, and I spent
a lot of free time with him, talking about things
that we probably aren't supposed to talk about. And you know,
I just I get along with him really well. I
think he has a country of great potential, tremendous potentials.

Speaker 5 (23:32):
It was possible to meet him this year or maybe
next year.

Speaker 6 (23:35):
Well, I'm meeting a lot of people. I mean, it's
hard to say that, but I'd like to meet him
this year. Presidency would like me to come to China.
It's a very important relationship. As you know, we're taking
a lot of money in from China because of the
tariffs and different things, and it's a very important relationship.

Speaker 5 (23:55):
We're going to get along good with China.

Speaker 6 (23:57):
I hears so many stories about we're not going to
allow their students, So we're going to allow their students
to come in. We're going to allow it's very important,
six hundred thousand students, it's very important. But we're gonna
get along with China. But it's a different relationship that
we have now with China. It's a much better relationship
economically than it was before.

Speaker 5 (24:15):
With Biden.

Speaker 6 (24:16):
What he allowed that, I mean, they just took him
to the cleaners. You know, the expression they took him
to the cleaners. I'm sure they have an equal expression
in South Korea. But they took that guy out for
a ride like nobody's.

Speaker 5 (24:28):
Ever been ridden before.

Speaker 6 (24:30):
Terrible, But we have a very strong relationship, Howard, I
would say you economically, with China now getting much better,
they have to.

Speaker 5 (24:39):
Give us magnets. If they don't give us magnets.

Speaker 6 (24:41):
And then we have to charge them two hundred percent
tarwer for something, you know, But we're not going to
have a problem. I don't think with that we've I
think that's perhaps behind us. You know, China intelligently when
they sort of took a monopoly of the world's magnets
and nobody needed magnets until they convince everybody twenty years ago,
let's all do magnets. There were many other ways that

(25:02):
the world could have gone. But so for it'll take
us probably.

Speaker 5 (25:06):
A year to have them.

Speaker 6 (25:07):
We're heavy into the world of magnets now, only from
a national security standpoint.

Speaker 5 (25:12):
But we have a powerful thing. It's airplane parts.

Speaker 6 (25:16):
Have many Boeing jets, you know, they are two hundred
jets that didn't fly, and I've sent them all based
on his word.

Speaker 5 (25:24):
I said them all of the parts so their planes
can fly.

Speaker 6 (25:28):
I could have held them back. I didn't do that
because of the relationship I have and they're flying. Their
planes are now flying. You know, we had two hundred
of their planes were unable to fly because we were
not giving them Boeing parts purposely because they weren't giving
us magnets.

Speaker 5 (25:44):
Therefore we weren't giving them.

Speaker 6 (25:45):
But we have a much more powerful thing. That's tariffs.
We if we wanted to put one hundred percent two
hundred percent tariffs, and we wouldn't do any business with China.
And you know it would be okay too if we
had to. But the magnet situation we have tremendous power
over them, and they have some power over us with magnets.
We're gonna have a lot of magnets in a pretty
short period of times. In fact, we have so many

(26:08):
we won't know what to do with them. But uh,
you know the story. It's a very interesting history with magnets,
and it really is because presidents, not being business people,
they allow that to happen, and they shouldn't have.

Speaker 5 (26:21):
But we have much more.

Speaker 6 (26:23):
I mean, look in terms of playing the cards we have,
we have much bigger and better cards than they do.
But with that being said, I think we have a
great relationship. I spoke to residency fairly recently, and at
some point, probably during this year or shortly thereafter, we'll
go to China, and I think we're gonna see a
magnificent side.

Speaker 5 (26:41):
It's a great country.

Speaker 2 (26:44):
And presently actually have planning to go to China. You
mentioned that either this year or next year.

Speaker 15 (26:49):
Could you please share more details about your plans going
to China?

Speaker 2 (26:53):
And also presently I.

Speaker 5 (26:54):
Think, man, you will go together. If you want to
go together, we can share a plan. We'll save energy,
we'll save the little uh you know, the zone, the
O zone layer.

Speaker 6 (27:05):
Remember President Obama used to talk about the Ozone layer
and then they'd fly to Hawaii's player around the golf
as the seven forty seven.

Speaker 13 (27:14):
Thecation good.

Speaker 6 (27:21):
It would sort of been jokingly. But if you want, you.

Speaker 5 (27:23):
Can come along.

Speaker 2 (27:26):
Consumers, I would like to go with President do.

Speaker 6 (27:28):
I accept he does. If you want to go, I'm
gonna get special permission. I'm sure you can go. But uh,
we're gonna have a great relationship with China. I mean,
it's it's happening.

Speaker 5 (27:39):
You see it. It's happening.

Speaker 6 (27:43):
They have some cards, we have incredible cards, but I
don't want to play those cards.

Speaker 5 (27:46):
That wouldn't If I.

Speaker 6 (27:47):
Played those cards, that would destroy China.

Speaker 5 (27:49):
I'm not going to play those cards. President.

Speaker 13 (27:51):
On the National Guard, you've talked a lot about democratic
run cities and states. Would you also consider sending the
National Guard into red states and red cities that are
all so seeing high crime.

Speaker 5 (28:01):
Sure, but there aren't that many of them.

Speaker 6 (28:03):
If you look at the top twenty five cities that
for crime, just about every one of those cities is
run by democratic And you know, one of the bad things.

Speaker 5 (28:12):
They did cashless bail.

Speaker 6 (28:13):
If you look back on time when they allowed a
murderer out that afternoon. You know, it'd kill somebody, and
then a couple of hours later, who's walking the streets again,
oftentimes killing again rapidly. Cashless bail is a disaster, you,
So we had a news conference studay in that way,
wiping it out in DC, immediately wiping it out.

Speaker 5 (28:34):
It started in New York, I must tell you.

Speaker 6 (28:36):
And it's been a horrible thing for crime, especially violent crime.

Speaker 5 (28:42):
So we're gonna end cashless bail. Yes, thank you.

Speaker 11 (28:46):
Well you deployed to Chicago and how long are you
keeping troops here?

Speaker 5 (28:51):
Discussion?

Speaker 6 (28:53):
I really want to be appreciated, you know, when we
go into a city and wipe out the crime. So DC,
it sounds so horrible. I'm embarrassed to say it.

Speaker 5 (29:01):
In front of you because they don't have anything like this.

Speaker 6 (29:04):
Washington d C. Sir has not had a murder in
eleven days now, he's saying, that's a horrible thing to
hear because they don't have murders for ever.

Speaker 5 (29:16):
But Washington d C.

Speaker 6 (29:18):
If you go back and check, it's been many years
since we went a week without having a murder. Now
we haven't had and I would say that Washington, DC
right now is much safer than sauld You know why,
because we have a friendly neighbor. We have more friendly neighbors.
You have a different kind of problem. We all have
different problems. But Washington, d c. Is a very safe

(29:42):
city right now. People are going out to dinner. Restaurants
are opening. Restaurants that we're going to close, they're now
going to stay open. Friends of mine are going out
to dinner all the time. They didn't go out to
dinner for four years. It went rampant during the Biden years,
by just rampant.

Speaker 5 (29:58):
That's why it.

Speaker 6 (30:00):
Susie is very close to the mayor and has a
lot of respect for it. But I view it maybe
a little differently because the mayor would say that it's
gotten better for thirty years, it's gotten better.

Speaker 5 (30:10):
No, it's gotten worse.

Speaker 6 (30:12):
And the worst day of all was when we just
got to office for the second time, and it's a
very bad shape. So the mayor shouldn't be saying that
violent crime has been getting better. It's been getting much worse.
And the day I took office it was the worst,
and we did some minor things made it a little
bit better, but then we said, look, we going to
stop it. Because too many people getting.

Speaker 5 (30:33):
Killed, and we have not had a murder in eleven days.
It sounds crazy.

Speaker 6 (30:38):
I hate to say this in front of this gentleman,
who I respect because they don't have.

Speaker 5 (30:41):
Murders for years. But we have not had a murder
in eleven days.

Speaker 6 (30:46):
And that's going to go on for a long time,
and there will be I guess it'll happen a little bit.
But we have a very safe city. This is one
of the safer cities right now in the country. And
in a short period of time, it'll.

Speaker 5 (30:58):
Be like the border.

Speaker 6 (30:59):
Nobody came in through our border. For the last ninety days,
three months, we had zero the legal aliens from the Congo,
from South America, from all over the world, from prisons
coming in pouring into our country. Nobody, not one person.
And this is done by a liberal group, a liberal
think tank. They do the work, not one person who's

(31:20):
come into our countries.

Speaker 5 (31:21):
Think of that. It's been amazing.

Speaker 6 (31:23):
And I didn't have to go back to Congress and
ask Biden could have done this by himself.

Speaker 11 (31:28):
I did.

Speaker 5 (31:28):
I said close the borders.

Speaker 6 (31:30):
We had the great Tom Holleman, we had Christie, as
you know, Christine Noman did a fantastic job.

Speaker 5 (31:35):
She's doing a fantastic job.

Speaker 6 (31:38):
Pete Haigseth has been incredible with the as I go
it the Department of War. You know, we go out
to the Department of Defense. But I twain us, I
think we're gonna change the name. You want to know
the truth. I think we're gonna have some information on that,
maybe soon, but I think because you know, Department of Defense.
We won the World War One, World War two, it

(31:59):
was called Department of War, and to me, that's really
what it is.

Speaker 5 (32:05):
It's defense is a part of that. But I have
a feeling we're going to be changing. I'm going to
I'm talking to the people. Everybody likes that.

Speaker 6 (32:13):
We had an unbelievable history of victory when it was
Department of War.

Speaker 5 (32:17):
Then we changed it to Department Offense.

Speaker 6 (32:19):
So that's a little thing, has nothing to do with
your country, but it's something that I think are going
to be hearing about or seeing about over the next
couple of weeks. Probably that change is going to be
made over the next week or so.

Speaker 2 (32:31):
Are there Koreas North and South or is there one career?

Speaker 5 (32:35):
Well, I know it has two careers. I mean, I
just you know, there was one career.

Speaker 6 (32:38):
It was a very large countries and a very powerful country,
and it was a country that went to war with China.
President she explained it went to war with China many
times over the last two thousand years, had many I
think he told me fifty one times. So I remember
it went to president she has said, you know, having
a problem with North Korea.

Speaker 5 (33:00):
Uh straightened out, When do you plase?

Speaker 6 (33:02):
He said, well, we have been to war with them,
and I think he said fifty one times. But at
that time it was the whole of career, was it,
you know, North and South? And after you explained that,
I said, all right, it's not going to be that easy.
I guess you're right into But you know, you had
one career. It was a very big, powerful nation. Now
you have two big.

Speaker 5 (33:21):
Powerful nations, but you have essentially a wall in between.

Speaker 6 (33:27):
The labor.

Speaker 15 (33:29):
Comments post and comments you made on South Korea early
this morning, like raised on churches going into US military base,
a perche a revolution?

Speaker 2 (33:41):
How do you think about it? And you tell me
in the deal, so you you know, I thought they could.

Speaker 6 (33:48):
As all you.

Speaker 5 (33:50):
Intel.

Speaker 6 (33:52):
I heard from Intel that there was a radar churches.

Speaker 5 (33:55):
We're going to talk about that later.

Speaker 6 (33:57):
I haven't spoken about it yet, but will we meet
you know that would be too bad if that's the case.
But I did hear that from Intel that there was
a raid on churches closing sub churches. So we'll talk
about that later. I could ask you there you want
where where Man, if you'd like, because it did it
didn't sound to be like South Korea.

Speaker 10 (34:23):
Well man gave.

Speaker 4 (34:26):
A Mingo assum thro Chintao, then table.

Speaker 10 (34:36):
And coke.

Speaker 3 (34:45):
Antiman.

Speaker 2 (34:46):
I think amingo come.

Speaker 3 (34:50):
Pettin day be going job.

Speaker 5 (34:58):
Hang.

Speaker 2 (35:00):
This is a choice.

Speaker 1 (35:07):
It hasn't been long since Korea has overcame the political
turmoil following.

Speaker 2 (35:13):
The self uh self coup by the former president.

Speaker 1 (35:18):
Currently there is a fact finding investigation by a special
prosecutor that was appointed by the National Assembly.

Speaker 2 (35:26):
And this UH special.

Speaker 6 (35:27):
Prosecutor named deranged Jackson. They took him from our country.
They derange is a deranged, shick individual. But go ahead,
I'm only kidding.

Speaker 1 (35:42):
Maybe, And that special prosecutor is not under my control.
And so the special prosecutor is conducting a fact finding investigation.

Speaker 2 (35:52):
And I would like to explain about uh the what you.

Speaker 1 (35:56):
Said about us basis we did not conduct a search
and seizure of American bases, but they looked into.

Speaker 2 (36:03):
The control, the chain of command and the control.

Speaker 1 (36:06):
System of the Korean military, right, And I would be
happy to that's okay.

Speaker 5 (36:11):
I'm sure it's during.

Speaker 6 (36:13):
I am sure it's a misunderstanding. But you know there
is a rumor going around the churches rating churches.

Speaker 5 (36:18):
So we'll talk. I'm sure that it's gonna be worked out. Fine.

Speaker 13 (36:23):
Yeah, Please God, what conversations have you had with Israeli
Prime Minister Benjamin and Yahoo about what is going on
in Gaza? There was a UN backed report that said
there was a famine of Gaza based on what you
know and what you've been briefed on, do you agree
with that?

Speaker 6 (36:36):
So, I mean I deal with bb Betanya Netanyahu quite
a bit and we had great success. Obviously at a
round we knocked out their nuclear threat. That would have
been a horror show having them have a nuclear weapon.
They would have used it too. We did very well there.
Right now, they're talking about Gaza City. There's always talking
about something. At some point it's going to get settled.

(36:57):
And I'm saying you better get it settled soon. You
have to get it settled soon. And that means, you know,
nobody can forget October seventh. People forget October seventh. That
was one of the most brutal I've seen some terrible things,
some brutal things. That was about as bad as it gets,
and nobody can forget that. With that being said, it's.

Speaker 5 (37:14):
Got to get over with.

Speaker 6 (37:16):
It's got to get over with because between the hunger
and all of the other probably worse than hunger, death,
pure death, people being killed. And you know, I'm the
one that brought back the hostages. And I did it
with that gentleman right there, Steve Woodcoff, and with Marco,
all of.

Speaker 5 (37:31):
Us, the whole team.

Speaker 6 (37:32):
We worked together, even the trade people weren'd done it
with us, and we brought back a lot of the hostages.
Now we're left with would you say twenty, Steve, or
would you say it's less than twenty.

Speaker 5 (37:42):
I hope it's twenty.

Speaker 6 (37:43):
He hopes it's twenty because some could be dead, that's
what he means. I assume. So we have twenty, but
there's rumors that some could be dead. It's a terrible
situation over there, terrible, terrible situation.

Speaker 5 (37:56):
But it's coming to a head. It's coming to an end.

Speaker 6 (38:00):
We are sending you know, we send sixty million dollars
of food over there just recently, and I don't even
know if people know it.

Speaker 5 (38:09):
We distributed ourselves.

Speaker 6 (38:11):
We're giving a lot of food, spending a lot of
money on food getting it over there. We have a
lot of food, we have a lot of oil, and
we have a lot of we have the greatest farmers
in the world, so we have a lot of food.
But we're sending a lot of it over to Gaza,
and we're feeding a lot of people. But with all
of that being said, it's a lot of people to feed.
And I think that we will have I think within

(38:31):
the next two to three weeks, you're gonna have pretty good, conclusive,
conclusive ending. And it's a hard thing to say because
they've been fighting for thousands of years, if you want
to know, that's been a hotbed forever. But I think
we're doing a very good job. But it does, it
does have to end, but people can't forget. October seventh, do.

Speaker 8 (38:56):
You plan to attend apixe Meat to be hired in
Korean in South Korea?

Speaker 5 (39:04):
Yes, yeah, I'd love to. I'd love to.

Speaker 6 (39:06):
Last time, I spoke in front of your parliament, and
I love doing that. Beautiful, beautiful respect they had for
our country and a beautiful room. I remember how beautiful
it was, and I enjoyed doing it. No, I could
I could see going. I think I'm going for a
trade meeting to South Korea pretty soon. You're hosting a
trade meeting, So I can sneak away from that trade
meeting and we'll go and do something for the president

(39:28):
if he'd like me to do that.

Speaker 5 (39:29):
Okay, But so we'll be going there.

Speaker 8 (39:31):
Fairly soon, then it's a good chance to keep meet
up King Jong and okay or make decision ping and.

Speaker 6 (39:39):
How about how do you think you mean set them
up together?

Speaker 5 (39:43):
Yes, I'll be addressed.

Speaker 6 (39:44):
It was will arrange a meeting between you and Kim Jung?

Speaker 5 (39:48):
And would you like that?

Speaker 6 (39:51):
That's a very tough question right now. I don't know
where that question is leading anyway. Look, I get along
great with Kim Jungle and whatever I can do, uh
having to do with South Korea and getting people together,
it should you should get together, right, yes, ma'am.

Speaker 5 (40:11):
Yes, the worst one.

Speaker 6 (40:16):
Of the world.

Speaker 8 (40:18):
Mascot project Pasca Maskat project very great again.

Speaker 5 (40:25):
Oh yeah, we're gonna do that.

Speaker 6 (40:27):
Yeah, I think we're gonna do that very very strongly.
We're gonna have a big within a period of you know,
it takes a while. That's a hard one to start.
Some companies you can start easily. Ship building is a
tough one to start. We'll be uh, we'll be doing
that now. With that being said, we make the best
submarines anywhere in the world. We make submarines and with
twenty five years ahead of anybody else in submarines. So

(40:49):
we do that.

Speaker 5 (40:50):
You know, we do that.

Speaker 6 (40:51):
But we really gave up the ship building industry foolishly
many years ago. But we're gonna we're gonna start it
up again. We're gonna be making our own chips again soon. Okay,
how about one or two more?

Speaker 11 (41:03):
Reef on the search of John Bolton's home in office
from Friday.

Speaker 5 (41:08):
No, I read it just like you did. I was
never a fan of his.

Speaker 6 (41:12):
I thought he was stupid. I thought he was, you know,
a guy that only wanted to go into war.

Speaker 5 (41:17):
He like killing people. I thought he was essentially a
bad guy. But I'm not involved in that. No, that
you'd have to ask Pam Bondi about that.

Speaker 14 (41:25):
Our more raids coming, sirt are more raids like that coming, sir,
Our more raids like the one on.

Speaker 5 (41:31):
John Golden's house coming more raids?

Speaker 6 (41:33):
I don't know. You'd have to ask the Department of Justice.
They raided my house. I can tell you that they
did a big raid.

Speaker 5 (41:40):
On my house.

Speaker 6 (41:41):
They took away everything that wasn't pin down and they
took away some of that too.

Speaker 5 (41:46):
Uh No, they raided mar A Lago.

Speaker 6 (41:48):
They started that these were bad people that we had
in our government.

Speaker 5 (41:53):
They raided mar A Lago.

Speaker 6 (41:55):
They went into my wife's area, they went into my
son's there, my young son.

Speaker 5 (42:00):
And what they did was a disgrace. But how did
it work out where I see where the I guess
it didn't work out too well for them.

Speaker 6 (42:11):
That they are bad people.

Speaker 5 (42:13):
They're sick, they're sick people, and they came.

Speaker 6 (42:16):
In with their guns Intomorrow Lago and like ninety eight people,
I wasn't there, fortunately I was again. But they are
they are very evil, very sick people, that group. And
then if they would have won the election, this country
wouldn't exist as we know. This country would have been
a failed country. And now it's the hottest country anywhere

(42:37):
in the world by far. We are the hottest country
in the world by far.

Speaker 12 (42:41):
Okay, yes, yeah, presidentally met with the Japanese Prime minister
people tea summit, so there are something to discussant regarding
the corporation among the South Korea, US and Japan.

Speaker 6 (43:00):
I think so I looked, Japan is a great ally
of US, and I had a little bit of a
hard time getting your two together because you're still thinking
about comfort women, right, comfort women.

Speaker 5 (43:10):
That's all they wanted to talk about was comfort women.

Speaker 6 (43:13):
And I thought that was settled a few times over
the decades, but there is a there is an overlapping
problem with that. Perhaps I'm wrong in saying it. Perhaps
this is the right question. The whole issue of the
women comfort women very specifically we talked and that was

(43:37):
a very it was a very big problem for Korea,
not for Japan. Japan was wanted to go. They want
to get on, but Korea was very stuck on that understand.
So I don't know, Perhaps you'd like to answer it's
a good question. It was hard getting Japan and career
together because of what took place a long time ago.

(44:01):
I was but Japan wants to do like Korea is
a little bit more tenuous.

Speaker 5 (44:08):
How uh Hanmi.

Speaker 4 (44:18):
Hammi gangay all hand Jongo Socialidating the.

Speaker 1 (44:24):
Prilateral cooperation among Korea, the US and Japan is very important,
and better Korea Japan relations is also important for the
Korea US relationship as well.

Speaker 10 (44:38):
A man medi Manasa, because.

Speaker 1 (44:52):
I know that President Trump that you put emphasis on
trilateral cooperation. I made a visit to Japan before coming
to the US to settle difficult issues.

Speaker 2 (45:00):
That we have.

Speaker 5 (45:03):
Well Japan.

Speaker 6 (45:04):
Japan wants to get along very well with you, and
I find them to be great people, great country obviously,
and they want very much to get along with South
and you have something in common. You know you want
to But Japan very much wants to get along with you,
and I'm sure they will. I find the people that

(45:26):
I deal with to be wonderful people, as I do
with you.

Speaker 1 (45:40):
So when I visited Japan and met with Prime Minister
in Yeshiba, I realized that many of the obstacles that
existed between our two.

Speaker 2 (45:47):
Countries were have now been removed.

Speaker 5 (45:50):
During my term. We removed them during my term.

Speaker 6 (45:54):
There was an overlay a little bit, but but we
removed many of those obstacles.

Speaker 5 (45:58):
Doing and Uh.

Speaker 6 (46:01):
You know, if you look at Prime Minister Bobby, who
was a great man, he was a great friend of
mine and he was assassinated, but he felt very warmly
toward your pastry to contein you there. And the current
Prime Minister, who I've gotten to know very well, feels
the same. So I think you're gonna have a great
relationship with your Panton, Steve. Go ahead is to close

(46:22):
the loop on God's Is there a diplomatic push underway
to trying to get all this to end?

Speaker 5 (46:27):
Oh, there's a diplomatic push there has been.

Speaker 6 (46:30):
Yeah, sure right now, Steve, I would say, very serious
diplomatic push.

Speaker 5 (46:35):
Marco or Steve want Marco do you want to answer that?

Speaker 2 (46:38):
Yeah, it's never stopped. We've we've always looked to find
a solution there. Ultimately, as the President said, we wanted
to end. It has to end with no Hamas.

Speaker 5 (46:49):
Than Steve, where are we?

Speaker 6 (46:51):
I would say that we wouldn't be anywhere but for
the President's truth last week, which was a statement to
Hamas that they.

Speaker 5 (46:58):
Better get their act together and and and get to
the piece table. But for that it would have been
all stalled.

Speaker 6 (47:03):
So, as usual, he is the man who moves it.

Speaker 5 (47:08):
Thank you, thank you, thank you very much. Everybody else,
thank you, Thanks.

Speaker 6 (47:15):
Guy, Let's go, thank you, straight off the door.

Speaker 10 (47:18):
Thanks guys, let's go.

Speaker 13 (47:19):
Let's go go to say thanks guys, jail, let's go see,
