- 0:04Speaker 1: A fantastic job. He didn't need this, he didn't need it.
- 0:08Speaker 1: And we find out government's a little nasty, but occasionally
- 0:12Speaker 1: I love Peters. Government's a little bit nasty. Peter, you
- 0:16Speaker 1: haven't noticed that you have? You've had a charmed life, right,
- 0:20Speaker 1: very charmed. I think you've had a charm life. I
- 0:22Speaker 1: think what I'll do if you don't mind. Numbers have
- 0:25Speaker 1: just come out which are rather extraordinary, and I thought
- 0:28Speaker 1: i'd play a tape of one of the people who
- 0:30Speaker 1: I've respected over the years, from you know, Joe Kiernan
- 0:35Speaker 1: and Rick Santelli. This just came out and we'll just
- 0:38Speaker 1: play that for a second. Personal income is up eight tents, up.
- 0:43Speaker 2: Eight tens of percent.
- 0:44Speaker 3: That is almost triple the expectations. So I'll tell you
- 0:48Speaker 3: that the income, the income numbers really for the first
- 0:51Speaker 3: four months of the year.
- 0:52Speaker 4: They're stellar. They're really stellar.
- 0:54Speaker 3: I mean I could go back and look at the
- 0:56Speaker 3: first four months of many different years, really very strong numbers.
- 1:00Speaker 2: And you're right.
- 1:01Speaker 3: This administration is criticized for just about everything under the sun.
- 1:05Speaker 2: I've never ever in my lifetime.
- 1:08Speaker 3: Had glimpses into the politics of an administration in the
- 1:12Speaker 3: form of transparency, like this one.
- 1:14Speaker 2: Why don't we be you know, give credit where creditor
- 1:17Speaker 2: is due. Also some income really shooting. Ok.
- 1:20Speaker 3: I also thought everybody was going to get one last
- 1:25Speaker 3: order of imports, that we're going to be cares and
- 1:28Speaker 3: they were loading up on things.
- 1:29Speaker 2: How the hell did the how the hell they already.
- 1:31Speaker 3: Fixed the trade or not fix it, but to cut
- 1:34Speaker 3: it in half?
- 1:36Speaker 4: That's crazy.
- 1:37Speaker 3: So there wasn't a lot of front loading of things
- 1:39Speaker 3: that they needed before the tariffs hit.
- 1:42Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll tell you what it really does.
- 1:44Speaker 3: Call them the question some of the conventional wisdoms, and
- 1:47Speaker 3: you know, it's going to be interesting to see.
- 1:49Speaker 2: What happens next month when we.
- 1:51Speaker 3: Get this number or we see some of the other
- 1:54Speaker 3: numbers like current accounts, see how they feared because I
- 1:58Speaker 3: don't know.
- 1:58Speaker 2: I've been watching these numbers one time.
- 2:00Speaker 3: I don't think I've ever seen the trade DEPSI cut
- 2:03Speaker 3: half for one month.
- 2:05Speaker 2: Not bad guys.
- 2:14Speaker 1: Yeah, See Howard and Scott are here, so it's great.
- 2:17Speaker 1: You guys want to stand over here. You might as well.
- 2:19Speaker 1: You're the ones that helped produce those numbers, and it'll
- 2:22Speaker 1: only get better. The tariffs are so important, and that's
- 2:25Speaker 1: why we were so happy with the decision yesterday where
- 2:29Speaker 1: the tariffs continued, because without the tariffs, our nation would
- 2:33Speaker 1: be imperiled.
- 2:34Speaker 2: We would really be imperiled.
- 2:35Speaker 1: I think I can say that with great juity Scott
- 2:37Speaker 1: and Howard and so we were very happy to get
- 2:40Speaker 1: that decision, that big decision yesterday and today it's about
- 2:46Speaker 1: a man named Elon and he's one of the greatest
- 2:49Speaker 1: business leaders and innovators the world has ever produced. He
- 2:54Speaker 1: stepped forward to put his very great talents into the
- 2:58Speaker 1: service of our nation and we apprehed. And I just
- 3:01Speaker 1: want to say that Elon has worked tirelessly helping lead
- 3:05Speaker 1: the most sweeping and consequential government reform program in generations.
- 3:10Speaker 1: And you know the kinds of things that he's found
- 3:13Speaker 1: and as people have found. He's got a group of
- 3:16Speaker 1: very smart people in and they found things that are
- 3:19Speaker 1: pretty unbelievable. I have to say that the numbers that
- 3:24Speaker 1: we're talking about are substantial, but they're going to be
- 3:26Speaker 1: very much more substantial with time, because many of the
- 3:29Speaker 1: things that we're working on right now we're going to
- 3:32Speaker 1: have to remember Elon as we find them. But the
- 3:34Speaker 1: numbers could double and triple because many many things we
- 3:39Speaker 1: don't want to go out with them until we're sure.
- 3:41Speaker 1: But we've found things that are unbelievably stupid and unbelievably bad.
- 3:46Speaker 1: With the Department of Government Efficiency, Elon's delivered a colossal
- 3:51Speaker 1: change in the old ways of doing business in Washington.
- 3:54Speaker 1: DOGE has installed geniuses with an engineering mindset and unbelievably
- 4:00Speaker 1: talented people and computers.
- 4:01Speaker 2: I actually asked Elon one time.
- 4:04Speaker 1: What's their primary thing, and they have a lot of
- 4:06Speaker 1: primary things, all having to do with being smart, but
- 4:08Speaker 1: he said, the thing that they're really the best at
- 4:10Speaker 1: is working with computers so that they can't be outsmarted
- 4:14Speaker 1: by somebody that's not so honest that happens to also
- 4:18Speaker 1: be good with computers, but not as good as these people.
- 4:21Speaker 1: But the mindset and the senior ranks of every federal
- 4:23Speaker 1: department and it's really changed. And with Elon's guidance, they're
- 4:28Speaker 1: helping to detect fraud, slash waste, and modernize broken and
- 4:32Speaker 1: outdated systems. So as you know, we're talking about various
- 4:36Speaker 1: systems and changing systems, and you know, sadly it takes
- 4:39Speaker 1: a long time to do that. You'll change a let's
- 4:43Speaker 1: say a system at IRS and computerize it properly where
- 4:47Speaker 1: the job can be done in one.
- 4:48Speaker 2: Tenth at time.
- 4:49Speaker 1: But it takes it takes sometimes years to rebuild those systems.
- 4:54Speaker 1: But we've started. In many cases, we've started. I will
- 4:57Speaker 1: say that this has less to do with Elon, but
- 5:00Speaker 1: the air traffic control systems we're bidding out to the
- 5:03Speaker 1: best companies in the world. Those systems right now. They
- 5:06Speaker 1: were horrible. The previous administration was horrible.
- 5:10Speaker 2: What they did.
- 5:11Speaker 1: They spend billions and billions of dollars and in the
- 5:14Speaker 1: end it didn't even come close to working. They tried
- 5:18Speaker 1: to hook up wire to copper and it can't be done,
- 5:21Speaker 1: and they just spent billions of dollars and just wasted money.
- 5:25Speaker 1: Actually made the system much worse. So we're going to
- 5:27Speaker 1: get a brand new, modern system. Congress is working with
- 5:30Speaker 1: us on that and we're going to get it done
- 5:32Speaker 1: as quickly as we can. But it's in the works
- 5:35Speaker 1: and once it's done, it'll be good for thirty years.
- 5:38Speaker 1: But we have a system that's forty eight years old
- 5:41Speaker 1: and would have a modern computer hooked into a very
- 5:44Speaker 1: outdated computer, and they don't hook up. I mean they
- 5:47Speaker 1: didn't hook up. So after spending billions of dollars. They
- 5:50Speaker 1: turned on the system and it in never any cases,
- 5:54Speaker 1: from local to countrywide, they never worked. More than seventy
- 5:59Speaker 1: five bureaucrats have voluntarily left their taxpayer funded jobs to
- 6:05Speaker 1: come out and really do the job. Countless wasteful and
- 6:09Speaker 1: unnecessary contracts have been terminated. And you know that we
- 6:13Speaker 1: have terminated many, many contracts, and many contracts ELON are
- 6:18Speaker 1: right now being looked at, and it maybe six months,
- 6:23Speaker 1: it may be almost a year in some cases. We're
- 6:25Speaker 1: going through procedures, we're going through courts, and we'll remember
- 6:29Speaker 1: you as we announced billions of dollars of extra waste,
- 6:33Speaker 1: fraud and abuse. Just as an example, those canceled one
- 6:37Speaker 1: hundred and one million dollars for DEI contracts at the
- 6:41Speaker 1: Department of Education. One hundred and one million dollars, and
- 6:44Speaker 1: that was just a small section of the Department of Education.
- 6:48Speaker 1: Fifty nine million dollars for illegal alien hotel rooms in
- 6:52Speaker 1: New York City, and the landlord never made the kind
- 6:56Speaker 1: of money that he made in the last short period
- 6:58Speaker 1: of time. Fifty nine million dollars to a hotel in
- 7:01Speaker 1: New York City. Forty five million dollars for diversity equity
- 7:04Speaker 1: and inclusion scholarships in Burma. In Burma, does anyone know
- 7:09Speaker 1: about Burma forty two million dollars for social and behavioral
- 7:13Speaker 1: change in Uganda forty million dollars to improve the social
- 7:18Speaker 1: and economic inclusion of sedentary migrants. I can say it's
- 7:23Speaker 1: two billion dollars to Stacey Abrams and.
- 7:26Speaker 2: Her environmental movement.
- 7:29Speaker 1: There was one hundred dollars in the account, and all
- 7:31Speaker 1: of a sudden they found two billion.
- 7:33Speaker 2: Dollars in the account. And I assume that's being looked at.
- 7:36Speaker 1: I don't know, I'm not sure, but I assume that's
- 7:38Speaker 1: being looked at. To think of that two billion dollars,
- 7:41Speaker 1: and then Lee will tell you there's another one over
- 7:44Speaker 1: there for twenty billion dollars being spent on another environmental care.
- 7:50Speaker 1: Twenty billion, not twenty million, a lot, not two hundred thousand,
- 7:54Speaker 1: which is a lot.
- 7:55Speaker 2: So think of it.
- 7:56Speaker 1: In her case, you have one hundred dollars, all of
- 8:00Speaker 1: a sudden, she gets hit with an infusion of two
- 8:03Speaker 1: billion dollars just before I take office. Twenty million dollars
- 8:08Speaker 1: for Arab Sesame Street in the Middle East.
- 8:11Speaker 2: Nobody knows what that's all about.
- 8:13Speaker 1: Nobody's been able to find it eight million dollars for
- 8:15Speaker 1: making mice transgender. So they spend eight million dollars on
- 8:20Speaker 1: making mice transgender, and those are better than many of
- 8:25Speaker 1: the others.
- 8:26Speaker 2: I could sit here all day and.
- 8:27Speaker 1: Read things just like that, but we have other things
- 8:30Speaker 1: to do, so it's much much more than just that.
- 8:32Speaker 1: We're totally committed to making the DOGE cuts permanent and
- 8:36Speaker 1: stopping much more of the waste, and the months to come,
- 8:39Speaker 1: we want to get our great, big, beautiful bill finished
- 8:42Speaker 1: and done. After that we're going to be We put
- 8:44Speaker 1: some of this into the bill, but most of it's
- 8:48Speaker 1: going to come later.
- 8:49Speaker 2: We're going to have.
- 8:49Speaker 1: It codorized by Congress, affirmed by Congress. In some cases
- 8:56Speaker 1: we'll make cuts, in some cases we'll just use it
- 8:58Speaker 1: in a different layer to save the money. But it's
- 9:02Speaker 1: hundreds of billions of dollars. DOZE is also fully modernized
- 9:05Speaker 1: the federal retirement process and continues to work very hard
- 9:09Speaker 1: on the IRS modernization.
- 9:11Speaker 2: But we're taking that over with Dose.
- 9:14Speaker 1: Many of the Dose people Elon are staying behind him,
- 9:17Speaker 1: so they're not leaving, and Elon's really not leaving.
- 9:21Speaker 2: He's going to be back and forth.
- 9:22Speaker 1: I think I have a feeling it's his baby, and
- 9:25Speaker 1: I think he's going to be doing a lot of things.
- 9:27Speaker 1: But Elon's service to America has been without comparison in
- 9:31Speaker 1: modern history. Is already running one of the most innovative
- 9:34Speaker 1: car companies in the world. You look at his factories
- 9:37Speaker 1: and compare them with some of the old factories we have,
- 9:40Speaker 1: and it's a big difference. And the most successful space company,
- 9:43Speaker 1: and I guess in history you would have to say,
- 9:45Speaker 1: the largest free speech platform on the Internet, et cetera.
- 9:49Speaker 1: Yet Elon willingly, with all of the success, he willingly
- 9:54Speaker 1: accepted the outrageous abuse and slander and lives and attacks
- 9:58Speaker 1: because he does love our country.
- 10:00Speaker 2: I know that very much, and loves our country.
- 10:03Speaker 1: Comes from another country, country that's going through trials and tribulations,
- 10:09Speaker 1: I would say, but he's all about the USA and Americans. Oh,
- 10:14Speaker 1: I'm a great debt of gratitude. So I just want
- 10:17Speaker 1: to thank Elon for his time as special government employee.
- 10:21Speaker 1: Can you imagine they called him an employee, but it's
- 10:24Speaker 1: a special government employee, And for coming and helping us,
- 10:29Speaker 1: and he really has changed the mindset of a lot
- 10:31Speaker 1: of people. A lot of people thought you know, maybe
- 10:33Speaker 1: we'll cut one percent or two percent or three percent.
- 10:36Speaker 1: Then they said, well, we can cut a lot more
- 10:38Speaker 1: than that, and we're going to do it very surgically.
- 10:41Speaker 1: We're going to continue on the march. We're making America
- 10:45Speaker 1: great again. When I was in Saudi Arabia and we
- 10:49Speaker 1: were in, as you know, three really great countries, predominantly
- 10:54Speaker 1: the three. Qatar was great, Uae was great, maybe incredible,
- 11:01Speaker 1: what like such an incredible experience to be in those
- 11:04Speaker 1: three countries. But the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, and
- 11:08Speaker 1: I must tell you, the leaders, the great leaders of
- 11:12Speaker 1: the other two that we just mentioned, they all said
- 11:15Speaker 1: the same thing that the United States is the hottest
- 11:17Speaker 1: country right now anywhere in the world.
- 11:19Speaker 2: And six months ago we thought it was dead.
- 11:21Speaker 1: It was like a dead country, and it would have
- 11:24Speaker 1: been a dead country we didn't have the right result
- 11:26Speaker 1: of November fifth, there would have been a horrible, horrible
- 11:29Speaker 1: situation was going on with the borders, with transgender for everyone,
- 11:36Speaker 1: men playing in women's sports, and so much more. But
- 11:39Speaker 1: they were saying the hottest country anywhere in the world.
- 11:42Speaker 1: And then I played that little clip because there was
- 11:44Speaker 1: one person who was respected, but there are two people,
- 11:47Speaker 1: because Joe was in that one too.
- 11:49Speaker 2: Joe's a good man.
- 11:50Speaker 1: But that was one group of people saying something about
- 11:55Speaker 1: the success of what we've done over the last four months.
- 11:58Speaker 2: They cannot believe it.
- 11:59Speaker 1: They said, they've never seen anything like it as long
- 12:02Speaker 1: as they've been doing what they've been doing, They've been
- 12:04Speaker 1: doing it for a long time. So I just I
- 12:07Speaker 1: want to thank Elon for helping. And again, you know,
- 12:11Speaker 1: the United States right now is the hottest country anywhere
- 12:14Speaker 1: in the world. Is no country as hot. And we're
- 12:17Speaker 1: doing really well where we came. When I left, we
- 12:21Speaker 1: had no wars, we had no problems, we defeated Isis,
- 12:23Speaker 1: we rebuilt our military, and we had no inflation. And
- 12:29Speaker 1: when I came back, we had a lot of inflation.
- 12:31Speaker 1: We had wars all over the place. We had the
- 12:34Speaker 1: embarrassment in Afghanistan where we gave up billions and billions
- 12:39Speaker 1: of dollars of military equipment, the most embarrassing moment in
- 12:42Speaker 1: the history of our country. I believe, I believe that strongly.
- 12:45Speaker 1: We have Russia with Ukraine. We had the attack in
- 12:49Speaker 1: Israel in October, the horrible attack October seventh, horrible, horrible attack.
- 12:56Speaker 2: Nobody's ever seen anything like it.
- 12:59Speaker 1: And now we have something where we're really healing a
- 13:02Speaker 1: lot of that. We stopped India and Pakistan from fighting.
- 13:09Speaker 1: I believe that could have turned out into a nuclear disaster,
- 13:12Speaker 1: and I want to thank the leaders of India, the
- 13:14Speaker 1: leaders of Pakistan, and I want to thank my people.
- 13:18Speaker 2: Also.
- 13:18Speaker 1: We talked trade and we said we can't trade with
- 13:21Speaker 1: people that are shooting at each other and potentially using
- 13:26Speaker 1: nuclear weapons. And they were they're great leaders in those
- 13:30Speaker 1: countries and they understood and they.
- 13:34Speaker 2: Agreed and that all stopped.
- 13:37Speaker 1: And we're stopping others from fighting also because ultimately we
- 13:40Speaker 1: can fight better than anybody. We have the greatest military
- 13:42Speaker 1: in the world. We have the greatest leaders in the world.
- 13:46Speaker 1: We put one of them in charge of the Joint
- 13:48Speaker 1: chiefs of Staff, as you know, General Raisin Kan and
- 13:53Speaker 1: we wiped out ISIS, completely wiped out ISIS in three weeks.
- 13:56Speaker 1: They said it would take five years, and we did
- 13:58Speaker 1: it in three weeks. And that's the way it is.
- 14:01Speaker 1: But we don't want to have to use our military.
- 14:03Speaker 1: We want to be peace through strength when we can,
- 14:07Speaker 1: and that's the way we're going to have it. So
- 14:09Speaker 1: I just want to thank Elon and all of his people.
- 14:11Speaker 1: Most of those people are staying, almost all of them
- 14:13Speaker 1: are staying, and they're going to be with us, and
- 14:15Speaker 1: you're going to see the results coming long into the future.
- 14:18Speaker 1: Even a year and two years later, you're going to
- 14:20Speaker 1: see a lot of the results and those hundreds of
- 14:23Speaker 1: billions of dollars they are going to be adding up and
- 14:25Speaker 1: they're going to continue to add. It'll be interested, really
- 14:27Speaker 1: interesting to see what the final number is going to be.
- 14:31Speaker 2: But again, Elon gave an incredible service.
- 14:34Speaker 1: Nobody like him and he had to go through the
- 14:38Speaker 1: slings and the arrows, which is a shame, because he's
- 14:42Speaker 1: an incredible patriot. The good news is that ninety percent
- 14:46Speaker 1: of the country knows that and they appreciate it, and
- 14:48Speaker 1: they really appreciate what he did, and they gave him
- 14:51Speaker 1: a little special something. We have here, a very special
- 14:55Speaker 1: that I give to very special people. I have given
- 14:59Speaker 1: it to some, but it goes to very special people,
- 15:02Speaker 1: and I thought i'd i'd give it to.
- 15:04Speaker 2: Elon as a presentation from our country. Thank you, Leon,
- 15:08Speaker 2: Thank you take care of us than we see the law.
- 15:16Speaker 4: The luckgowness is amazing.
- 15:20Speaker 2: Large luck.
- 15:21Speaker 5: Well, let me say perhaps a few words that this
- 15:24Speaker 5: is not the end of Dose but really the beginning.
- 15:28Speaker 5: My time as a special government ploint necessarily had to end.
- 15:30Speaker 4: It was a limited time thing.
- 15:31Speaker 5: It's one hundred and thirty four days, I believe, which
- 15:33Speaker 5: ends in a few days, so.
- 15:36Speaker 4: So that you know it comes with a time limit.
- 15:40Speaker 5: But the Dog team will only grow stronger over time,
- 15:44Speaker 5: the Doge influence will only grow stronger.
- 15:45Speaker 4: It's likely to sort of boson of Buddhism. It's like
- 15:48Speaker 4: a way of life.
- 15:50Speaker 5: So it is permeating throughout the government. And I'm confident
- 15:53Speaker 5: that over time we'll see a twillion dollars of savings
- 15:57Speaker 5: and reduction in a trillion dollars waste and forward production.
- 16:02Speaker 5: The calculations of the Dose Dose Team thus far in
- 16:06Speaker 5: terms of an FYI twenty five to fy twenty six delta,
- 16:09Speaker 5: are over one hundred and sixty billion, and that's climbing.
- 16:12Speaker 5: We expect that probably that number will probably go over.
- 16:13Speaker 4: Two hundred billion soon.
- 16:15Speaker 5: So I think the Dose Team is doing an incredible job.
- 16:19Speaker 5: They're going to continue doing to doing an incredible job.
- 16:21Speaker 5: And and I'll be and I'll continue to be visiting
- 16:26Speaker 5: here and be a friend and advisor to the President,
- 16:30Speaker 5: and I look forward to, you know, times being back
- 16:32Speaker 5: in this amazing room. By the way, isn't this incredible,
- 16:36Speaker 5: This incredible look the I mean it's stunning. I think
- 16:41Speaker 5: the way that the Oval Office, the President has just
- 16:44Speaker 5: completely redone the Oval Office.
- 16:46Speaker 4: It's beautiful. I love the gold in the ceiling.
- 16:48Speaker 2: It's pretty nice.
- 16:50Speaker 5: Yeah, it's been for a long time.
- 16:53Speaker 2: That was last year. Nobody ever really saw it.
- 16:55Speaker 1: They didn't know the eagle was up there, and we highlighted.
- 16:58Speaker 1: It's essentially it's a landmark, a great landmark, and that's
- 17:03Speaker 1: twenty four carrot gold and everybody loved it.
- 17:05Speaker 2: And now they all see it when they come in.
- 17:07Speaker 2: So it's been it's been good.
- 17:09Speaker 5: The Oval Office has, you know, finally has the majesty
- 17:12Speaker 5: that it deserves, thanks to the President. So so I
- 17:15Speaker 5: look forward to continuing to be a breend and advisor
- 17:17Speaker 5: to the President, continuing to support the dog team. And uh,
- 17:22Speaker 5: and we are relentlessly pursuing eight trillion dollars in wasting
- 17:27Speaker 5: for productions which will benefit the American taxpayer. So uh,
- 17:35Speaker 5: that's that's it, really, thank you.
- 17:38Speaker 2: Missent, Thank you great che President.
- 17:45Speaker 6: The President mentioned that you have to deal with all
- 17:46Speaker 6: the slings and arrows during your time at DOGE.
- 17:49Speaker 4: There's this new people. You know, some of the media
- 17:51Speaker 4: organizations in this room were the slingers.
- 17:56Speaker 6: There is your Time for Today that accuses you of
- 17:58Speaker 6: blurring right between.
- 18:00Speaker 4: It's the New New York Times.
- 18:02Speaker 5: Is that the same publication that's uh go to Pulitzer
- 18:05Speaker 5: Prize for a false reporting on the Russia Gate?
- 18:09Speaker 2: Uh? Is it the same organization? I think it is so.
- 18:16Speaker 5: I think that I think the judge just ruled against
- 18:18Speaker 5: New York Times for their lies about the Russia Gate hoax,
- 18:22Speaker 5: and that they might have to give back that Pulitzer
- 18:24Speaker 5: Prize that New York Times.
- 18:26Speaker 4: Let's move on. Okay, next question, Trump.
- 18:31Speaker 6: President Trump Biden, who used to work here, are in
- 18:36Speaker 6: talks with Republicans and Congress to go and testify about
- 18:40Speaker 6: what they did or didn't do to possibly conceal President
- 18:44Speaker 6: Biden's decline. Do you think that doctor Jill Biden should
- 18:48Speaker 6: also have to come in and testify about what she
- 18:52Speaker 6: did or didn't do?
- 18:54Speaker 2: Well? I hate the concept of it.
- 18:56Speaker 7: It's the wife of a man who was going through
- 19:01Speaker 7: a lot of problems, and everybody that dealt with him
- 19:04Speaker 7: understood that, and I guess it came out during the
- 19:06Speaker 7: debate loud and clear.
- 19:07Speaker 1: That was the big That was the biggest signal of
- 19:09Speaker 1: all they have to do what's right the country was.
- 19:14Speaker 1: There was a lot of dishonesty in the election, as
- 19:17Speaker 1: you know twenty twenty that's been now caught.
- 19:19Speaker 2: People understand it was a rigged election.
- 19:22Speaker 1: And when you go further out, when you see the autopen,
- 19:25Speaker 1: I mean, I think the autopen is going to become
- 19:27Speaker 1: one of the great scandals of all time because you
- 19:30Speaker 1: have somebody operating it, or a number of people operating.
- 19:33Speaker 2: Because I knew Joe Biden.
- 19:34Speaker 1: Joe Biden wasn't in favor of opening up orders letting
- 19:38Speaker 1: twenty one million people into this from prisons and mental
- 19:40Speaker 1: institutions and gang members.
- 19:43Speaker 2: He wasn't into that at all.
- 19:45Speaker 1: And you know who signed the who signed these orders,
- 19:48Speaker 1: proclamations and all of the different things that he signed
- 19:51Speaker 1: that set our country so far back.
- 19:53Speaker 2: That was that was so bad for our country. How
- 19:56Speaker 2: did it work?
- 19:57Speaker 6: Like we're in the old oss right now, If there
- 19:59Speaker 6: was a group of rogue staffers that worked for you,
- 20:02Speaker 6: who wanted to advance a bill or an executive order
- 20:06Speaker 6: without your knowledge. How could they do it?
- 20:10Speaker 1: Well, it's very hard because I'd read your newspapers or
- 20:13Speaker 1: your media the next day and I say, well, I
- 20:15Speaker 1: didn't approve that, and.
- 20:17Speaker 2: I would find it.
- 20:17Speaker 1: I mean, they wouldn't get away with it for a
- 20:19Speaker 1: long because let's say I never signed that.
- 20:21Speaker 2: Who the hell signed that?
- 20:22Speaker 1: Autopens to me are used to sign letters to people
- 20:27Speaker 1: because we get I think they said twenty thousand letters
- 20:30Speaker 1: a week, and you like to be able when somebody
- 20:33Speaker 1: takes it time to write a letter as sisest sort
- 20:35Speaker 1: of light back, and autopens are meant for that. Autopens
- 20:39Speaker 1: are not meant to sign major proclamations or tax cuts
- 20:43Speaker 1: or borders, anything having to do with the border, which
- 20:45Speaker 1: is so important and if it happened on my watch,
- 20:49Speaker 1: I would be able to see it, because the next
- 20:51Speaker 1: day or sooner, I'd be reading about something that I
- 20:54Speaker 1: knew nothing about, and who the hell signed is So
- 20:57Speaker 1: I almost never used the autopen. In fact, yesterday I
- 21:00Speaker 1: was signing about eighty one I think it was eighty
- 21:03Speaker 1: one proclamations and statements to people that I think should
- 21:08Speaker 1: be signed by US. I think when you write letters
- 21:11Speaker 1: to foreign dignitaries or presidents or prime ministers. You should
- 21:15Speaker 1: be signing those letters not done with autopens. I understand
- 21:20Speaker 1: he signed almost everything.
- 21:21Speaker 2: With an auto pen. It's a very dangerous thing. It
- 21:24Speaker 2: really means you're not president.
- 21:25Speaker 1: Whoever operated the autopen and we think we know who
- 21:28Speaker 1: that is, and it was actually more than one person,
- 21:32Speaker 1: But that's not what the presidency is all about.
- 21:36Speaker 2: I hardly used to hear the triffs on China. You
- 21:41Speaker 2: said that they violated an agreement with the US.
- 21:44Speaker 1: Well, they did, they were They violated a big part
- 21:47Speaker 1: of the agreement we made. You know, if you read
- 21:50Speaker 1: that all statement, I was very nice to them. I
- 21:52Speaker 1: helped them because they were in trouble with the stoppage
- 21:54Speaker 1: of a.
- 21:55Speaker 2: Massive amount of business.
- 21:57Speaker 1: But I'm sure that I'll speak to Presidency and hopefully
- 22:00Speaker 1: we'll work that out.
- 22:01Speaker 2: But yeah, there's a violation of the agreement.
- 22:04Speaker 6: Yeah, can you give us an update to the latest
- 22:07Speaker 6: ceasefire agreement that Israel has agreed to, But I'm still
- 22:10Speaker 6: still considering.
- 22:12Speaker 1: Well, they're very close to an agreement on Gaza, and
- 22:15Speaker 1: we'll let you know about it during the day or
- 22:17Speaker 1: maybe tomorrow, and we have a chance of that. I
- 22:19Speaker 1: think we have a chance of making a deal with Iran. Also,
- 22:22Speaker 1: they don't want to be blown up. They would rather
- 22:24Speaker 1: make a deal, and I think that could happen in
- 22:26Speaker 1: the not too distant future.
- 22:28Speaker 2: That would be a great thing.
- 22:29Speaker 1: If we could have a deal without bombs being dropped
- 22:33Speaker 1: all over the Middle East, that would be a.
- 22:35Speaker 2: Very good thing.
- 22:36Speaker 1: They we want them, we want them to be safe.
- 22:40Speaker 1: We want them to have a very very successful nation.
- 22:43Speaker 1: Let it be a great nation. But we can't have that.
- 22:45Speaker 1: They cannot have a nuclear weapons. Very simple, and I
- 22:48Speaker 1: think we're fairly close to a deal with the run.
- 22:52Speaker 2: Good question for you.
- 22:54Speaker 6: You said just now that you look forward to being a.
- 22:56Speaker 4: Friend and advisor to the president.
- 22:58Speaker 1: So do you expect to continue advising the president and
- 23:02Speaker 1: jo informally or are you going to sort of shift
- 23:05Speaker 1: your bogus entirely to your companies.
- 23:09Speaker 5: Well, I expect to continue to provide advice whatever the
- 23:12Speaker 5: President would like advice if I mean, I'm yeah, it's
- 23:18Speaker 5: I expect to remain a friend and an advisor, and
- 23:23Speaker 5: certainly if there's anything the President wants me to do,
- 23:25Speaker 5: I'm at at the president service.
- 23:29Speaker 2: You said that there was a trillion dollar promise for.
- 23:32Speaker 5: Yes, I think we do expect over time to achieve
- 23:34Speaker 5: the trillion dollars.
- 23:35Speaker 2: But what have you found in your time here was
- 23:38Speaker 2: the biggest roadblock to getting those cuts?
- 23:40Speaker 4: Was it the cabinet, or was in Congress or something else?
- 23:43Speaker 2: What was the biggest roadblock from your work?
- 23:46Speaker 5: It's mostly just a lot of hard work. It's it's
- 23:49Speaker 5: really not any anyone personal congress. It's going through really
- 23:56Speaker 5: millions of line items and saying just each one of
- 23:59Speaker 5: them makes sense or not makes sense.
- 24:01Speaker 4: Obviously, at times.
- 24:02Speaker 5: When you cut expenses, those who are receiving the money,
- 24:04Speaker 5: whether they receive whether they were receiving that money legitimately
- 24:07Speaker 5: or not, they do complain. And you're not going to
- 24:10Speaker 5: hear someone confessing that they receive money inappropriately. Never, They're
- 24:15Speaker 5: going to always say that they received money appropriately for
- 24:17Speaker 5: an important cause. Naturally, that's what you'd expect. But so
- 24:22Speaker 5: we just have to it's a it's just a lot
- 24:25Speaker 5: of work going through the vast expenses of the federal
- 24:28Speaker 5: government and just really asking questions, what's this money for?
- 24:33Speaker 5: Are you sure it's actually being used? Well, many times
- 24:37Speaker 5: we can't even find anyone who defends it. So for
- 24:41Speaker 5: at a lot of the expenses, there's the rest actually
- 24:43Speaker 5: no defender at all, and then we have to just
- 24:45Speaker 5: go work through the process of stopping the stopping and
- 24:48Speaker 5: spending where there's often literally no defender.
- 24:50Speaker 4: Nobody even knows why the money is being spent. It's
- 24:52Speaker 4: truly absurd.
- 24:53Speaker 5: I mean, we find situations where there are millions of
- 24:57Speaker 5: software licenses where with zero people you seeing.
- 25:00Speaker 4: Them, zero exactly. This is the quizzical expression.
- 25:05Speaker 5: You're like, surely if there's millions of software licenses, someone should.
- 25:08Speaker 4: Be using them.
- 25:09Speaker 5: No, And then then we just we've got to go
- 25:11Speaker 5: through through the process of saying, Okay, look, if no
- 25:13Speaker 5: one's using this software, we terminate this software license agreement.
- 25:17Speaker 4: That's that's that's that's that's everywhere ended up.
- 25:19Speaker 2: By the way, what.
- 25:20Speaker 5: Do you think would be colonizing. It's a tough call,
- 25:29Speaker 5: but I think colonizing was and making a life multiplanetrute
- 25:32Speaker 5: is hotter. And as I said, I we do the dough.
- 25:36Speaker 5: We do expect to achieve over time the twenty dollars
- 25:39Speaker 5: of savings. We can't do it in like a few months.
- 25:41Speaker 5: But if you say by the I think the official
- 25:44Speaker 5: end of dose, which the President may choose to extend,
- 25:47Speaker 5: is the middle of next year save by the middle
- 25:49Speaker 5: of next year, with the support of the President in Congress,
- 25:52Speaker 5: could we achieve twenty dollars of savings.
- 25:54Speaker 4: I think so we're on track to do so.
- 26:01Speaker 6: You had mentioned earlier in the week that do should
- 26:04Speaker 6: become a whipping boy.
- 26:06Speaker 2: And as the President mentioned, he went through a.
- 26:08Speaker 4: Lot to go through this process.
- 26:10Speaker 2: Was it worth it for you and what would you change?
- 26:14Speaker 5: Yes, So what we found was happening was that if
- 26:17Speaker 5: there were any cuts anywhere, uh, then people would assume
- 26:22Speaker 5: that was done by Doge.
- 26:24Speaker 4: And so.
- 26:27Speaker 5: We became like the essentially the Doge boogey man, where
- 26:30Speaker 5: if you know, any cut anywhere.
- 26:32Speaker 4: Would be ascribed to Doge.
- 26:35Speaker 5: You know, a friend of mine's daughter who's at law
- 26:37Speaker 5: school Georgetown, thought that Doe should cut the Senate, you know,
- 26:41Speaker 5: the internships for the legal internships for the Senate, and
- 26:45Speaker 5: we have nothing to do with that. So if they
- 26:47Speaker 5: haven't cut, not to do with us, just as an example,
- 26:50Speaker 5: So you know, it just became a bit ridiculous where
- 26:55Speaker 5: anything any cut anywhere was senha Doge and including things
- 26:59Speaker 5: that no sense and.
- 27:00Speaker 4: We would agree made no sense.
- 27:02Speaker 5: So there are many things that occur in the government
- 27:06Speaker 5: because it's it's the it's the banal evil of bureaucracy.
- 27:10Speaker 5: It's sort of the the the the frankly largely largely
- 27:15Speaker 5: uncaring nature of bureaucracy. It's, as the great Milton Freeman said,
- 27:21Speaker 5: money is spent most clearly when it is someone else's
- 27:24Speaker 5: about money being spent on people you don't know. And
- 27:28Speaker 5: that's that's how federal spending is. And and then you
- 27:32Speaker 5: can't really even blame the individuals because the way the
- 27:35Speaker 5: government works is complaint minimization. So when you do try to,
- 27:40Speaker 5: when someone within the government tries to stop money being spent,
- 27:44Speaker 5: there's usually someone that complains, and then their manager will
- 27:48Speaker 5: say it's not worth.
- 27:49Speaker 4: The trouble, just pay it anyway. That happens over and
- 27:53Speaker 4: over again. I think it was I think it's an
- 27:56Speaker 4: important thing.
- 27:57Speaker 5: I think it was a necessary thing, and I think
- 27:58Speaker 5: it will have a good effect in few Thank you,
- 28:00Speaker 5: President Trump.
- 28:01Speaker 6: This week there was a video on more a plane
- 28:04Speaker 6: that showed the First Lady of France slapping her husband.
- 28:08Speaker 4: Emmanuel McCrum.
- 28:10Speaker 6: Do you have any world leaders, world leader marital in life.
- 28:17Speaker 2: Make sure the door remains closed. It was not good.
- 28:22Speaker 1: I spoke to him and he's he's fine.
- 28:26Speaker 2: They're fine. They're two really good people.
- 28:28Speaker 1: I know him very well, and I don't know what
- 28:32Speaker 1: that was all about, but I know him very well,
- 28:35Speaker 1: and they're fine.
- 28:37Speaker 4: A little center.
- 28:38Speaker 6: Here plan to avoid being sweating in every digund the
- 28:44Speaker 6: state again by spending.
- 28:47Speaker 2: To study how to speed to American plan.
- 28:51Speaker 4: Well, you know, they spent.
- 28:53Speaker 1: They spent two point eight million. We spent one point
- 28:56Speaker 1: five We spent much less. We spent about half of
- 28:58Speaker 1: what they spent, and at the end they were twenty
- 29:02Speaker 1: eight million dollars short. They had to be u They
- 29:06Speaker 1: spend two point eight billion. It's a lot, but they
- 29:08Speaker 1: couldn't get twenty eight million at the end. And now
- 29:11Speaker 1: they want to spend I read that they want to
- 29:13Speaker 1: spend money to learn how to talk.
- 29:15Speaker 2: It's fake. You don't want to be fake.
- 29:17Speaker 1: You shouldn't have to hire consultants to say what America needs,
- 29:20Speaker 1: because you know, then they should be the consultants should
- 29:23Speaker 1: be running the deal, not them. But I read that
- 29:25Speaker 1: they want to spend a lot of money in each state.
- 29:27Speaker 1: So we won all seven swing states, seven out of seven.
- 29:30Speaker 2: We want a lot more than that.
- 29:31Speaker 1: We want them popular, but we want everything, and they
- 29:34Speaker 1: want to spend money to find out what they did wrong.
- 29:37Speaker 2: And I mean I can tell you what they did wrong.
- 29:39Speaker 2: I can tell you every one of their programs.
- 29:42Speaker 1: When they say men playing in women's sports, I would
- 29:45Speaker 1: say that's not a winner. When they say transgender for everybody,
- 29:48Speaker 1: I think that's not a winner. When they say open
- 29:52Speaker 1: borders so the entire world's population of criminals can pour
- 29:55Speaker 1: into our country, I don't think that's a winner.
- 29:58Speaker 2: I mean, I can.
- 29:59Speaker 1: I just gave them that for free. But I don't
- 30:02Speaker 1: know if they'll change their ways. I see them all
- 30:04Speaker 1: the time. I see people that I know in Congress Democrats.
- 30:07Speaker 1: They're trying to justify some of the things I just said.
- 30:11Speaker 1: You can't justify them. They're you know, I always see
- 30:14Speaker 1: the eighty twenty issues. I say, they're not eighty twenty.
- 30:16Speaker 1: They're ninety seven three. They might be ninety nine to one.
- 30:20Speaker 1: They're not eighty twenty. They wish they were eighty twenty.
- 30:23Speaker 1: And they're wasting a lot of money if they're going
- 30:26Speaker 1: to continue with that nonsense.
- 30:27Speaker 2: And this is the president six question.
- 30:29Speaker 6: But most of the apprentice.
- 30:31Speaker 2: You mentioned once in twenty twelve that Diddy was.
- 30:34Speaker 6: A good friend heres back then he is saying to
- 30:37Speaker 6: himself in some very serious legal trouble, that's true. Would
- 30:40Speaker 6: you ever consider pardoning him?
- 30:44Speaker 1: Well, nobody's asked. You had to be the one to
- 30:46Speaker 1: ask Peter, but nobody's asked. But I know people are
- 30:49Speaker 1: thinking about it. I know they're thinking about it. I
- 30:52Speaker 1: think people have been very close to asking. First of all,
- 30:55Speaker 1: i'd look at what's happening, and I haven't been watching
- 30:59Speaker 1: it too close, although it's certainly getting a lot of coverage.
- 31:03Speaker 2: I haven't seen him. I haven't spoken to him in years.
- 31:06Speaker 2: He used to really like me.
- 31:08Speaker 1: A lot, but I think when I ran for politics,
- 31:10Speaker 1: he sort of that relationship busted up from what I read.
- 31:14Speaker 1: I don't know he didn't tell me that, but i'd
- 31:16Speaker 1: read some little bit nasty statements in the paper.
- 31:18Speaker 2: All of a sudden, you know, it's different.
- 31:21Speaker 1: You become a much different person when you run for
- 31:23Speaker 1: politics and you do what's right. I could do other things,
- 31:27Speaker 1: and I'm sure he'd like me, and I'm sure other
- 31:29Speaker 1: people would like me, but it wouldn't be as good
- 31:31Speaker 1: for our country.
- 31:31Speaker 2: As we said.
- 31:32Speaker 1: Our country is doing really well because of what we're doing,
- 31:35Speaker 1: so I can't It's not a popularity contest, So I
- 31:38Speaker 1: don't know.
- 31:38Speaker 2: I would certainly look at the facts.
- 31:41Speaker 1: If I think somebody was mistreated, whether they like me
- 31:44Speaker 1: or don't like me, it wouldn't have any impact.
- 31:46Speaker 2: On the Big Beautiful bill.
- 31:49Speaker 6: Would you like to see the Senate building some support
- 31:51Speaker 6: for your tariffs on the Big Beautiful bill?
- 31:53Speaker 4: Or should that be a standalone bill?
- 31:56Speaker 2: I have green support on the tariffs.
- 31:58Speaker 1: I mean, I was so honored that we got that
- 32:00Speaker 1: ridiculous staylifted, because that would have taken away presidential power.
- 32:05Speaker 1: It would have taken away everything that was granted by
- 32:07Speaker 1: the founders. It would have been a terrible thing, and
- 32:10Speaker 1: it would have most importantly, it would have left us vulnerable.
- 32:13Speaker 1: We have a lot of countries that use tariffs on
- 32:15Speaker 1: us and use them viciously, actually viciously, and if we
- 32:19Speaker 1: didn't have the power to use tariffs on them and instantly,
- 32:22Speaker 1: not when you go back to Congress and try and
- 32:24Speaker 1: get hundreds of people to agree on something that would
- 32:27Speaker 1: take months to get just one simple proclamation. If we
- 32:32Speaker 1: didn't have the power to counteract their powers, you wouldn't
- 32:36Speaker 1: have a country lift.
- 32:37Speaker 2: We have to act fast.
- 32:39Speaker 1: We have to be fast and nimble, as they say,
- 32:42Speaker 1: and that was a really great moment I think yesterday
- 32:46Speaker 1: when that stay was lifted, and hopefully now we'll go
- 32:49Speaker 1: to court and just win that battle, because if we
- 32:52Speaker 1: don't have the power to do what they're doing to us,
- 32:55Speaker 1: we are going to be a great nation no longer.
- 33:00Speaker 5: Musk was once idolized by folks in the left in
- 33:02Speaker 5: this country before joining your administration.
- 33:04Speaker 2: Now he's considered a hero by conservatives.
- 33:07Speaker 7: Why do you think this man, what he's done in
- 33:09Speaker 7: American life has been so politicized it doesn't want well.
- 33:11Speaker 1: His life has been His life has been amazing. When
- 33:14Speaker 1: I look at so many different things. I look at
- 33:17Speaker 1: that rocket being, you know, guided back into position. I've
- 33:20Speaker 1: never seen that before. I thought it was a space movie.
- 33:22Speaker 1: I thought it was a movie.
- 33:24Speaker 2: You look at what.
- 33:25Speaker 1: He's done in terms of communication, it's been unbelievable. So
- 33:28Speaker 1: many different even tunnels going underground, not having to go
- 33:33Speaker 1: through all the process of going.
- 33:35Speaker 2: You know, he's got a company that does that.
- 33:36Speaker 1: He's got so many different companies, Starlink as an example.
- 33:40Speaker 1: He saved a lot of lives, probably hundreds of lives
- 33:43Speaker 1: in North Carolina.
- 33:44Speaker 2: I don't even know if you remember, but I called you.
- 33:46Speaker 1: They needed starlink in North Carolina and I didn't know
- 33:50Speaker 1: what the hell starlink was.
- 33:52Speaker 2: I said, what is it? Who owns it? He said,
- 33:54Speaker 2: do you know Elon Musk? I said, you happen to
- 33:56Speaker 2: know the gentleman.
- 33:57Speaker 1: This was before his government stay, and they said, we
- 34:00Speaker 1: really needed because North Carolina was literally became an island.
- 34:04Speaker 1: There was people had no communication, they had no access
- 34:08Speaker 1: to anything.
- 34:09Speaker 2: And they were dying. And I call up Elon.
- 34:12Speaker 1: And you can't get it because it's so success was
- 34:14Speaker 1: very hard to get. And he had so much of
- 34:16Speaker 1: it brought over there, and they told me it was unbelievable.
- 34:19Speaker 2: Saved a lot of lives. So, you know, he's just
- 34:21Speaker 2: done a lot of things.
- 34:22Speaker 1: He I don't think frankly, I don't think he gets
- 34:24Speaker 1: credit for what he's done.
- 34:25Speaker 2: But uh, he's and he's a very good person too.
- 34:30Speaker 1: If it wasn't a good person, if he wasn't it,
- 34:32Speaker 1: but he did the same things. You know, I probably
- 34:35Speaker 1: maybe speak differently. He happens to be a really good
- 34:37Speaker 1: person who loves the country.
- 34:41Speaker 2: Beautiful.
- 34:41Speaker 5: Bill, you had indicated this week that there were some
- 34:43Speaker 5: things you didn't like about what had passed in the House.
- 34:46Speaker 4: Uh, what changes do you want to see?
- 34:49Speaker 5: Send me?
- 34:49Speaker 1: And you had also indicated there were things you didn't
- 34:51Speaker 1: like about the bill.
- 34:52Speaker 2: What would you be suggesting? He pushed senators to change
- 34:56Speaker 2: in their version.
- 34:57Speaker 1: Well, I'll tell you I'll go first. It's an unbelie
- 35:00Speaker 1: levable bill. It cuts your deficits, it cuts you know,
- 35:03Speaker 1: it's a huge cutting. But there's things I'd like to see,
- 35:06Speaker 1: maybe cut a little bit more. I'd like to see
- 35:08Speaker 1: a bigger cut in taxes. It's going to be the
- 35:10Speaker 1: largest tax decrease or cut in the history of our country.
- 35:15Speaker 1: I'd like to see it get down to any even
- 35:17Speaker 1: lower number. I was shooting for a slightly lower number.
- 35:21Speaker 1: I would have liked to have done that. But with
- 35:24Speaker 1: all of that being said, when you look at the
- 35:27Speaker 1: tax cut and the fact that the original tax cut
- 35:30Speaker 1: which made us we had the most successful four years
- 35:34Speaker 1: in the history of our.
- 35:35Speaker 2: Country the economy, and this is going to be even better.
- 35:38Speaker 1: And you see that by the reports that came out
- 35:40Speaker 1: just yesterday or tonight, I guess they were released this
- 35:42Speaker 1: morning at eight o'clock. You see the kind of numbers
- 35:45Speaker 1: where somebody that's a pro is like, WHOA, I haven't
- 35:48Speaker 1: seen numbers like this since I've been doing this. You know,
- 35:51Speaker 1: these are human emotions of professionals that have never seen
- 35:56Speaker 1: numbers like and we've just started. The bill is a
- 35:59Speaker 1: great bill. It's going to be jiggered around a little bit.
- 36:03Speaker 1: It's going to be negotiated with the Senate, with the House.
- 36:07Speaker 1: But the end result is it extends the Trump tax cuts.
- 36:12Speaker 1: If it doesn't get approved, you'll have a sixty eight
- 36:15Speaker 1: percent tax increase. You're going to go up sixty eight percent.
- 36:20Speaker 1: That's a number that nobody's ever heard of before.
- 36:23Speaker 2: You'll have a massive tax increase.
- 36:26Speaker 1: If it does get approved, you'll have a large tax cut,
- 36:30Speaker 1: the largest we've ever had when you add the passed
- 36:34Speaker 1: tax cuts that we've got you the Trump tax they
- 36:36Speaker 1: call them the Trump tax cuts. It's an amazing bill.
- 36:40Speaker 1: It does amazing things. With all of that, It's going
- 36:43Speaker 1: to be adjusted a little bit over the next coming weeks,
- 36:45Speaker 1: and I think it's going to be a pass. The
- 36:47Speaker 1: Republicans want to pass it with all of the great
- 36:50Speaker 1: things it does, including an extension of debt. It's the extension.
- 36:54Speaker 1: We have to extend the debt. If we don't extend debt,
- 36:57Speaker 1: we're in default. Now, the Democrats Michael country to be
- 37:00Speaker 1: in default, but in two hundred and fifty years we've
- 37:02Speaker 1: never been in default. That was handed to them by
- 37:06Speaker 1: a very well meaning man that gave it to them
- 37:09Speaker 1: because he thought it was the right thing to do.
- 37:12Speaker 1: It could have been their problem before the election, but
- 37:14Speaker 1: this man thought it was the right thing to do.
- 37:16Speaker 2: And it was well meaning.
- 37:18Speaker 1: I don't hold anything against him for that. But that
- 37:21Speaker 1: was put on our plate when it should have been
- 37:23Speaker 1: on the Democrats. September twenty eighth, the famous date. It
- 37:27Speaker 1: should have been taken care of by the Democrats. But
- 37:29Speaker 1: this person, a man of power, gave it to us,
- 37:35Speaker 1: so that in June that comes toe. Well, we have
- 37:37Speaker 1: to take care of that, because if we don't take
- 37:39Speaker 1: care of it, we have a country in default.
- 37:42Speaker 2: And we don't ever want to have a country in defaul.
- 37:44Speaker 2: You know, I'll tell.
- 37:46Speaker 1: You a certain Senator, Elizabeth Warrer, said that she would
- 37:54Speaker 1: never ever.
- 37:56Speaker 2: Allow a default on our dead.
- 37:58Speaker 1: She would never let let it happen, and she would
- 38:01Speaker 1: like to get rid of the dead ceiling, what's called
- 38:03Speaker 1: the dead ceiling. I go with the dead extension because
- 38:05Speaker 1: we really need an extension that she'd like to see
- 38:08Speaker 1: that gotten rid of. And there are many people that agree,
- 38:11Speaker 1: many Democrats.
- 38:11Speaker 2: Agree with that. But we gave that through and you know,
- 38:17Speaker 2: I don't.
- 38:17Speaker 1: Want to say an ere he did it well, meaning
- 38:20Speaker 1: they gave that to us. It was a Democrat problem
- 38:23Speaker 1: just before the election. What I had a huge impact
- 38:25Speaker 1: on the election and to our benefit. We want anyway,
- 38:29Speaker 1: but to our benefit. But felt that really for the
- 38:33Speaker 1: good of the country, we should extend that. But Elizabeth
- 38:36Speaker 1: Warren and various other people would like to see that
- 38:39Speaker 1: her whole career. She wanted to see it terminated, gotten
- 38:43Speaker 1: rid of not being voted on every five years or
- 38:47Speaker 1: ten years, and the reason was because it's so catastrophic
- 38:52Speaker 1: for our country. And I always agreed with her. There
- 38:55Speaker 1: was one thing I agreed with her. Now I haven't
- 38:57Speaker 1: spoken to her, but I would say that if you
- 39:00Speaker 1: asked her that question now, she'd say, no, no, it's
- 39:02Speaker 1: their problem.
- 39:03Speaker 2: But it's a very unfortunate situation. It's very unfair situation.
- 39:07Speaker 1: And she happened to be right on that it should
- 39:09Speaker 1: be gotten rid of or it should simply be extended.
- 39:12Speaker 1: But that's one of the things that gets taken care
- 39:14Speaker 1: of in this bill. That automatically gets extended for a
- 39:18Speaker 1: four year period, and it should be. But I agree
- 39:21Speaker 1: with Elizabeth Warren on that, I think you should get
- 39:23Speaker 1: rid of it.
- 39:23Speaker 2: It's too catastrophic place studios.
- 39:34Speaker 1: States to students, Well, we want to have great students here.
- 39:38Speaker 1: We just don't want students that are causing trouble. We
- 39:40Speaker 1: want to have students. I want to have foreigs students.
- 39:42Speaker 1: I think Harvard, you know, it's close to thirty one percent.
- 39:45Speaker 2: That's a lot. Our country's given five billion.
- 39:50Speaker 1: Dollars plus to Harvard over a short period of time.
- 39:54Speaker 2: Nobody knew that. We found that out.
- 39:56Speaker 1: I wouldn't say that was a dose thing, but we
- 39:58Speaker 1: found that out over a period of time.
- 40:00Speaker 2: That was sort of a trump thing.
- 40:01Speaker 1: We ended up in litigation for other reasons because they're
- 40:04Speaker 1: very antisemitic, and in finding out and in going through
- 40:09Speaker 1: the books, we found out that the country gave them
- 40:12Speaker 1: five million dollars plus much more than that actually, and
- 40:16Speaker 1: we're having it out with them, and let's see what happens.
- 40:18Speaker 1: I think we have a very.
- 40:19Speaker 2: Good well, it's a very sad case.
- 40:23Speaker 1: It's a case we win. We can't lose that case
- 40:26Speaker 1: because we have the right to make grants. We're not
- 40:27Speaker 1: going to make any grants like that.
- 40:29Speaker 2: But I don't think.
- 40:31Speaker 1: Harvard's been acting very nicely. I think Columbia wants to
- 40:34Speaker 1: get to the bottom of the problem. They've acted very well,
- 40:37Speaker 1: and there are other institutions too, they're acting, but Harvard's
- 40:40Speaker 1: trying to be a big shot. And all that happens
- 40:43Speaker 1: is every three days we find another hundred million dollars.
- 40:48Speaker 2: That was given.
- 40:49Speaker 1: Least two days ago, we found two hundred million dollars more.
- 40:52Speaker 1: The money's given to them like gravy. I'd like to
- 40:54Speaker 1: see the money go to trade schools where people learn
- 40:57Speaker 1: how to fix motors and engines, where people learn how
- 41:00Speaker 1: to build rocket ships, because you know, somebody has to
- 41:02Speaker 1: build those rocket ships. And I'd like to see trade
- 41:05Speaker 1: school set up because you could take five billion plus
- 41:09Speaker 1: hundreds of billions more, which is what's spent, and you
- 41:12Speaker 1: could have the greatest trade school system anywhere in the world.
- 41:15Speaker 1: And that's what we need to build his rockets and
- 41:18Speaker 1: robots and things that he's doing, and to build lots
- 41:21Speaker 1: of other things. And you know, I went to school
- 41:23Speaker 1: with people. In some cases they weren't good students, but
- 41:27Speaker 1: they could fix the engine of a car better than
- 41:29Speaker 1: anybody I've ever seen. They could take it apart blindfold
- 41:32Speaker 1: and they had an ability of that, and they did
- 41:35Speaker 1: very well.
- 41:35Speaker 2: They made a lot of money, and it's a very
- 41:37Speaker 2: skilled job. It's great.
- 41:38Speaker 1: But I'd like to see a lot of money going
- 41:40Speaker 1: into tradescos I've always felt that, and we probably found
- 41:44Speaker 1: our pot of gold. And that's what's been wasted at
- 41:48Speaker 1: places like Harvard, and the money's been wasted.
- 41:50Speaker 2: Yeah places.
- 41:50Speaker 5: Yeah, well it wasn't wasn't anywhere near fronts. So but
- 42:05Speaker 5: I didn't.
- 42:06Speaker 8: Even about the six left, you know, I didn't know,
- 42:10Speaker 8: so uh yeah, I was just watching around with Alex
- 42:13Speaker 8: and I said, go ahead, punch me in the face,
- 42:15Speaker 8: and he did.
- 42:16Speaker 1: It.
- 42:16Speaker 4: Turns out even a five year old punching you in
- 42:18Speaker 4: the in the face.
- 42:18Speaker 2: Actually it was exod if you knew his mom right now.
- 42:25Speaker 5: But I didn't feel I didn't really feel much at
- 42:27Speaker 5: the time, and then I guess it bruises up.
- 42:30Speaker 4: But I just watched around the king.
- 42:31Speaker 6: I didn't Actually I know that you tried to stay
- 42:35Speaker 6: a pretty neutral because not your war.
- 42:38Speaker 1: But by the way, not my war. I just want
- 42:41Speaker 1: to solve the problem for people. This was not a
- 42:44Speaker 1: war that was going to happen if I'm a president,
- 42:46Speaker 1: So not your war.
- 42:47Speaker 6: But as you try to fix it, and as you
- 42:50Speaker 6: surveyed this hellscape of.
- 42:52Speaker 4: The Ukrainian front line, and you.
- 42:54Speaker 6: Guys, you and your team deal with a very stubburn
- 42:57Speaker 6: flattener poop you.
- 43:00Speaker 2: But if you look at this stubborn Zelenski too.
- 43:02Speaker 6: Treating differently now, like do you look at this and
- 43:05Speaker 6: seat Putin as the good guy.
- 43:07Speaker 2: Or the bad guy.
- 43:08Speaker 1: So I've known him very well and I went through
- 43:12Speaker 1: a lot of things with him because Russia was you know,
- 43:16Speaker 1: the Russian Russian and Russia hoax turned out to be
- 43:18Speaker 1: a total hoax. New York Times they got a pullit serprise.
- 43:22Speaker 1: They have to give back to Pulit serprise. That's my lawsuit,
- 43:25Speaker 1: and they're doing very poorly in that lawsuit. But you know,
- 43:28Speaker 1: they wrote stories about how it was true and it
- 43:30Speaker 1: was false, and you know a lot of Washington Post also,
- 43:35Speaker 1: I have gotten to see things, and I was very
- 43:38Speaker 1: surprised that rockets being shot into cities like he have
- 43:46Speaker 1: during a negotiation that I felt was maybe very close
- 43:49Speaker 1: to ending. We were going to solve a problem, and
- 43:52Speaker 1: then all of a sudden rockets got shot.
- 43:54Speaker 2: Into a couple of cities and people died.
- 43:58Speaker 1: I saw things that I was surprised that so, and
- 44:02Speaker 1: I don't like being surprised, so I'm very disappointed in
- 44:05Speaker 1: that way. With that being said, I'd like to see
- 44:08Speaker 1: then five thousand people. I think a numbers that even
- 44:11Speaker 1: more than that, but five thousand people a week are
- 44:14Speaker 1: being killed, mostly soldiers, but also people that live in
- 44:18Speaker 1: little cities and towns throughout Ukraine.
- 44:22Speaker 2: And I'd like to see that stuff.
- 44:24Speaker 6: And I alas yesterday, but I want to ask you directly.
- 44:28Speaker 2: So many other things you're trying to do are held
- 44:30Speaker 2: up in court right now.
- 44:32Speaker 6: Yeah, the court are going to have so much influence
- 44:35Speaker 6: over US policy. Do you wish you would have just
- 44:37Speaker 6: become a judge?
- 44:40Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, look, it wasn't meant to be that way.
- 44:43Speaker 1: If you look at the founders, the president had certain powers,
- 44:45Speaker 1: and you have your three groups, and they all had
- 44:49Speaker 1: supposed to be equal pretty equal powers. But you can't
- 44:53Speaker 1: have a judge in Boston running foreign policy and places
- 44:58Speaker 1: all over the country because he's got a liberal bent
- 45:02Speaker 1: or he's a radical left person.
- 45:05Speaker 2: That's what the executive branch is for. And you have
- 45:08Speaker 2: checks and balances.
- 45:09Speaker 1: But we had millions of people pour into our country,
- 45:12Speaker 1: many many criminals poured into our country. Murderers, murderers, mental
- 45:16Speaker 1: institutions from all over the world being emptied out into
- 45:19Speaker 1: our country. And if we don't get him out and
- 45:21Speaker 1: get him out quickly, we're gonna could lose your country
- 45:24Speaker 1: very easily.
- 45:25Speaker 2: This is a bed that anybody would allow this to
- 45:29Speaker 2: happen to our country.
- 45:30Speaker 1: You know, with all of the things we took over inflation,
- 45:32Speaker 1: we took over some wars, we took over a lot
- 45:34Speaker 1: of problems that didn't exist when I was president. None
- 45:37Speaker 1: of it existed. We wiped out Isis. Other than that,
- 45:40Speaker 1: we had no wars. Putin was never going to hit Ukraine.
- 45:45Speaker 1: Israel would have never been attacked that attack. As you know,
- 45:50Speaker 1: Iran had no money. They didn't have money for Hamas,
- 45:53Speaker 1: they didn't have money for Hesbola, they had no money
- 45:56Speaker 1: whatsoever that was going to happen. All of these things
- 45:59Speaker 1: that happened weren't happened, you wouldn't have had inflation. So
- 46:03Speaker 1: it's very sad when I came back. But the thing
- 46:06Speaker 1: that is the hardest is that they allowed twenty one
- 46:10Speaker 1: million people into our country and many of those people
- 46:14Speaker 1: are stone cold criminals. They moved their criminal population into
- 46:20Speaker 1: the United States.
- 46:21Speaker 2: And of all the things.
- 46:23Speaker 1: That you know our bad I solved inflation, I believe already.
- 46:28Speaker 1: I got the fuel prices down. The fuel prices came down.
- 46:30Speaker 1: That's one of the reasons. They screwed up the energy.
- 46:33Speaker 1: They screwed up the cost of gasoline and oil and gas,
- 46:38Speaker 1: and you had tremendous inflation. Had the greatest inflation probably
- 46:41Speaker 1: in the history of our country under Biden. And when
- 46:45Speaker 1: people said, oh, but the economies are no, the economy
- 46:47Speaker 1: was terrible for the people because they couldn't afford the energy,
- 46:50Speaker 1: and the energy brought everything else up.
- 46:52Speaker 2: Energy is the big deal. But with all of that,
- 46:56Speaker 2: we solved that already in four months. We solved it.
- 46:58Speaker 1: A dollar ninety nine dollar ninety eight gasoline, first time
- 47:01Speaker 1: people have seen that in a long time since my term.
- 47:05Speaker 1: But the hardest thing to solve is millions of people
- 47:09Speaker 1: pouring into our country, many of whom are criminals. Because remember,
- 47:13Speaker 1: these countries are smart, their leaders are very street smart.
- 47:16Speaker 2: They're sending the people that they don't want. They don't
- 47:19Speaker 2: want the people that.
- 47:20Speaker 1: Are there that are law abiding, that are productive, that
- 47:23Speaker 1: are working hard. They want people that are in jails,
- 47:28Speaker 1: we have them, they allow them to come in. And
- 47:32Speaker 1: I always look to the other side, like why would
- 47:34Speaker 1: somebody do something? You know, in business, I try and
- 47:36Speaker 1: study why would they want to do this?
- 47:38Speaker 2: Why would they want to sell it? Why would they
- 47:39Speaker 2: want to buy it?
- 47:41Speaker 1: One thing I can figure out is what would an
- 47:44Speaker 1: administration what were they thinking? Would they allowed millions of
- 47:50Speaker 1: people from prisons all over the world, not just from
- 47:53Speaker 1: South America, Venezuela, all over the world, from the Congo
- 47:57Speaker 1: in Africa, hundreds of people, thousands of people from the
- 48:02Speaker 1: Congo rough rough prisoners from Asia, from Europe, rough parts
- 48:09Speaker 1: of Europe.
- 48:10Speaker 2: Why would they allow them to come into our country?
- 48:13Speaker 2: Why would they do that? It's the one thing I
- 48:16Speaker 2: can't figure out. And I don't believe it was Jill Biden.
- 48:20Speaker 2: I really don't.
- 48:21Speaker 1: I mean, he's been a sort of a moderate person
- 48:24Speaker 1: over his lifetime, not a smart person, but somewhat vicious person.
- 48:30Speaker 1: I will say, if you feel sorry for him, don't
- 48:32Speaker 1: feel so sorry because he's vicious. What he did with
- 48:34Speaker 1: his political opponent and all of the people that he heard.
- 48:37Speaker 1: He hurt a lot of people by and so I
- 48:41Speaker 1: really don't feel sorry for him. But he wasn't a
- 48:44Speaker 1: person that would allow murderers to come into our country.
- 48:47Speaker 1: He wasn't a person that was in favor of transgender
- 48:50Speaker 1: for anybody that wanted it, take kids out of families,
- 48:54Speaker 1: et cetera, et cetera. So I just don't understand why
- 48:58Speaker 1: why a thing like this, thing like this could have
- 49:01Speaker 1: been allowed to happen. Very sad, very sad, very sad
- 49:06Speaker 1: for our country if.
- 49:07Speaker 2: I can, which is.
- 49:11Speaker 5: I think the fundamental moral flow of the left is
- 49:14Speaker 5: empathy for the criminals and not empathy for the victims.
- 49:19Speaker 5: Empathy for the criminals, but not empathy for the victims.
- 49:22Speaker 5: And there's there's been way too much of that that
- 49:24Speaker 5: needs to stop. To the Presidence point, there's been immense
- 49:28Speaker 5: judicial overreach that is unconstitutional, that was never intended, and
- 49:34Speaker 5: it's undermining the people's faith in the legal system.
- 49:37Speaker 4: It needs to stop. It's gone too far.
- 49:40Speaker 1: And just today we had just a couple of hours ago,
- 49:45Speaker 1: we had a great decision from the Supreme Court, thank
- 49:48Speaker 1: goodness that it was very important. We had two important
- 49:53Speaker 1: decisions yesterday on the tariffs, because again, we have to
- 49:56Speaker 1: be able to fight.
- 49:58Speaker 2: Fair fight with other countries.
- 49:59Speaker 1: How or would you say we have to be able
- 50:02Speaker 1: to use tariffs to fight people that use tariffs on us.
- 50:05Speaker 2: I mean, if we didn't have that power of tariffs,
- 50:08Speaker 2: we would.
- 50:08Speaker 1: We would economically but destroyed as the country because they
- 50:11Speaker 1: will destroy us. Other countries will destroy us with unchecked tariffs.
- 50:16Speaker 1: We can check them when we have the use. They
- 50:18Speaker 1: tried to take that that power away from us. And
- 50:21Speaker 1: if you take that power away, we're not going to
- 50:23Speaker 1: have a country. We won't have an economically viable country.
- 50:27Speaker 1: But it's very important on immigration that we be able
- 50:32Speaker 1: to get people out without having to go through a
- 50:34Speaker 1: long court case. I mean it was up to some
- 50:36Speaker 1: of these judges, every single single one of these millions
- 50:39Speaker 1: of people, millions of people, criminals, prisoners that were let
- 50:44Speaker 1: go from jails because they save a fortune when they
- 50:47Speaker 1: did they brought them into the United States.
- 50:49Speaker 2: You know what they're saving, the money they're saving. But
- 50:52Speaker 2: some of murders, it's very important.
- 50:54Speaker 1: That we're able to get those people out of here fast,
- 50:56Speaker 1: bring them back to their country where they belong, and
- 50:59Speaker 1: those count if he's take them, because if they don't
- 51:01Speaker 1: take them, they have to go through the wrath of
- 51:03Speaker 1: the United States and they take them, but we have
- 51:06Speaker 1: judges that don't want that to happen, and it would
- 51:10Speaker 1: be it's a terrible thing that's going through the court
- 51:13Speaker 1: system right now, that whole situation. But when ICE and
- 51:18Speaker 1: with Border Patrol, they've done an incredible job. When they
- 51:21Speaker 1: do this incredible job and they capture one hundred killers
- 51:27Speaker 1: and drug dealers, and we can't keep them for years
- 51:31Speaker 1: here as we go through trials. We have to get
- 51:34Speaker 1: them out rapidly. And we know who they are. We
- 51:37Speaker 1: know who they are, and we're very careful about who
- 51:40Speaker 1: they are, but we have to get them out rapidly,
- 51:42Speaker 1: or again, we're not going to have a country. Maybe
- 51:46Speaker 1: one or two bors go ahead. Well, he's gonna end
- 51:58Speaker 1: up building his whole car here. I mean I thought
- 52:00Speaker 1: he built his whole car pretty much.
- 52:01Speaker 2: He does.
- 52:02Speaker 1: He's got incredible factories and like I looked at one
- 52:05Speaker 1: in Texas.
- 52:05Speaker 2: It's unbelievable. No way.
- 52:09Speaker 1: All of the manufacturers will build their parts here too.
- 52:12Speaker 2: I mean I used to bother me.
- 52:14Speaker 1: They make a part in Canada, part in Mexico, a
- 52:17Speaker 1: part in Europe and sent all over the place, and
- 52:20Speaker 1: nobody knew what the hell was happening. I think it's
- 52:22Speaker 1: you build a car, make it in America, and I
- 52:25Speaker 1: gave them a little leeway on that, you know, gave
- 52:28Speaker 1: them some leeway.
- 52:29Speaker 2: But over the next year they've got to have the
- 52:31Speaker 2: whole thing built in America. That's what we want.
- 52:33Speaker 1: We want America to buy American built cars. Thank you
- 52:37Speaker 1: very much, MU
