0:19
Speaker 2: We had a very very good talk. He's going through
0:21
Speaker 2: an election now and we'll see what happens. But we
0:26
Speaker 2: are We have Liberation Day, as you know, on April second.
0:30
Speaker 2: Because and I'm not referring to Canada, but many countries
0:34
Speaker 2: have taken advantage of us, the likes of which nobody
0:37
Speaker 2: even thought it was possible for many, many decades, for decades,
0:40
Speaker 2: and you know that has to stop. We're going to
0:43
Speaker 2: end up with a very good relationship with Canada and
0:45
Speaker 2: a lot of the other countries. Some we probably won't,
0:47
Speaker 2: it won't be so pleasant. But with I think most
0:52
Speaker 2: countries will are agreeing with me. They actually many of
0:55
Speaker 2: them have actually apologized. They said, look, we have taken
0:59
Speaker 2: advantag and I don't blame them as much as I
1:02
Speaker 2: blame the people that stood in this case. I can
1:05
Speaker 2: say the men because so far They've been all men,
1:08
Speaker 2: haven't they. But the men that sat right there and
1:10
Speaker 2: behind the Resolute desk, mostly the Resolute desk. You know,
1:15
Speaker 2: I don't know if you know. You have a choice
1:16
Speaker 2: of seven desks. The Resolute is the one I like,
1:19
Speaker 2: but some chose other ones. But they sat right behind
1:23
Speaker 2: a desk, right in this location, and they let our
1:27
Speaker 2: country be hurt very badly. But I didn't do that.
1:31
Speaker 2: So but we had a very good talk, the Prime
1:34
Speaker 2: Minister myself and I think things are going to work
1:37
Speaker 2: out very well between Canada and the United States. Yeah,
1:39
Speaker 2: please God, mister President, how the talks with India or
1:42
Speaker 2: tariff going on?
1:44
Speaker 3: And what is the expectation for media?
1:46
Speaker 2: How much do you want to do well? You know,
1:47
Speaker 2: Prime Minister Moti was here just recently and we we've
1:50
Speaker 2: always been very good friends. India is one of the
1:54
Speaker 2: highest tariffing nations in the world. You know that. I
1:58
Speaker 2: thank you for shaking your head. But it's it's brutal,
2:01
Speaker 2: it's brutal. They're they're very smart and he's a very
2:04
Speaker 2: smart man and a great friend of mine. Actually, uh,
2:08
Speaker 2: And we had very good talks. I think it's going
2:10
Speaker 2: to work out very well between India and our country
2:13
Speaker 2: very very well. And I want to say, you have
2:15
Speaker 2: a great prime minister. A very serious earthquake in Burma
2:20
Speaker 2: and today just several hundred killed.
2:24
Speaker 3: They the military regime that has asked for help from anybody.
2:27
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're going to be helping. You've already alerted the people.
2:30
Speaker 2: Yet it's terrible what's happened. It's helping. We've already spoken
2:35
Speaker 2: with the country.
2:36
Speaker 3: Okay, mister president.
2:38
Speaker 4: Mister president, yesterday you asked Representative Steponock to stay in
2:41
Speaker 4: her seat.
2:42
Speaker 3: Can you explain your reason for that?
2:43
Speaker 4: And didn't have anything to do with the tight polling
2:46
Speaker 4: in the Florida district that former represented.
2:49
Speaker 2: Waltz help and I think we're doing Yeah, I think
2:53
Speaker 2: we had. As you know, we have a few elections
2:55
Speaker 2: going on, and she is phenomenal. Number one, she's a
2:58
Speaker 2: friend of mine, and she was going to go to
3:00
Speaker 2: the United Nations and I said, look, there's a lot
3:03
Speaker 2: of room for doing that or something else. But she's
3:06
Speaker 2: very popular in her district and I didn't want to
3:09
Speaker 2: take a chance. I don't even know who else is running.
3:11
Speaker 2: I assume somebody else would have been running. But if
3:14
Speaker 2: she runs, she can't be You never want to say
3:17
Speaker 2: can't be beaten, but I think can't be beaten. She's very,
3:20
Speaker 2: very well liked and very smart. And I said, at
3:24
Speaker 2: least would you do me a favor. We cannot take
3:27
Speaker 2: a chance. We have a slim margin. We don't want
3:30
Speaker 2: to take any chances. We don't want to experiment. And
3:33
Speaker 2: she polls like I do. I want her district, as
3:37
Speaker 2: you know, by a lot of points, and she also
3:39
Speaker 2: does very well there. When it comes to Florida, you
3:42
Speaker 2: have two races and they seem to be good. It's
3:46
Speaker 2: a Trump plus thirty two area. The one thing is
3:50
Speaker 2: they're spending like twelve million dollars and our candidate doesn't
3:53
Speaker 2: have that kind of money, spending much less than that,
3:55
Speaker 2: like maybe one twelfth about a million dollars, a little
3:59
Speaker 2: bit more than a million dollars. So the airwaves are blanketed,
4:03
Speaker 2: and you never know what happens in a case like that.
4:06
Speaker 2: I want it by thirty two points, and it's very
4:09
Speaker 2: very strong. It used to be Democrat, but when I
4:13
Speaker 2: came along, they liked me. For whatever reason. You'll have
4:15
Speaker 2: to explain that, but they liked me. We're way up,
4:18
Speaker 2: but you don't know what happened second district, who seems
4:23
Speaker 2: to be in pretty good shape, but likewise he's being
4:26
Speaker 2: outspent about five to one. So we don't want to
4:29
Speaker 2: take any chances. So I went to at Lease and
4:31
Speaker 2: I said, at least you mind very highly rated person.
4:36
Speaker 2: You know, she was a real leader and she will
4:39
Speaker 2: be again. I spoke with Mike Johnson. They're going to
4:41
Speaker 2: put her in a high leadership position, but will you
4:43
Speaker 2: mind staying in Congress because we don't want to take
4:46
Speaker 2: any chances. And it's as simple as that. It's basic politics.
4:49
Speaker 2: It's politics. One on one, she's very popular, she's going
4:52
Speaker 2: to win, and somebody else will probably win two because
4:55
Speaker 2: we did very well there. I did very well there,
4:57
Speaker 2: but the word probably is no good. So I really
5:01
Speaker 2: appreciate her doing it. She's doing me a big favor
5:05
Speaker 2: when she does it, because she was all set to
5:07
Speaker 2: go to the United Nations and she would have dealt
5:10
Speaker 2: with Putin and Zelenski and everybody else, and she would
5:13
Speaker 2: have been very effective. But we really want to don't.
5:17
Speaker 2: We don't want to take any chances because it is tight. Here.
5:21
Speaker 2: Go ahead, please, thank you, sir.
5:23
Speaker 5: You and your team apprehended a top three leader in
5:26
Speaker 5: the violent gang and its thirteen yesterday, just.
5:28
Speaker 3: Thirty minutes outside of Washington, d C.
5:31
Speaker 4: What has made you and your team so effective in finding, locating, apprehending,
5:36
Speaker 4: and deporting these violent illegal miroes.
5:39
Speaker 2: I love this guy. I wish more people would ask
5:43
Speaker 2: questions like that. Thank you. That's very nice, Ireate, and
5:46
Speaker 2: they happen. All you're doing is being fair with you
5:49
Speaker 2: when you ask a question in that way. Pambondi and
5:53
Speaker 2: Cash Patel and all of the rest of law enforcement,
5:56
Speaker 2: and I think we have to include ICE and Border Patrol,
6:00
Speaker 2: you know, Paul of the whole group from Border patrol.
6:03
Speaker 2: There's so incredible and it's you know, dangerous stuff, hard stuff,
6:08
Speaker 2: and it's really an unforced era because these people were
6:11
Speaker 2: allowed into this country. They shouldn't have been in this country.
6:14
Speaker 2: They would have never been in this country. We're getting
6:16
Speaker 2: rid of some of the worst criminals in the world.
6:18
Speaker 2: They came out of jails and mental institutions from all
6:21
Speaker 2: over the world. But Pam and the whole group, and Cash,
6:26
Speaker 2: who's here, and it's so good to have him. He's
6:28
Speaker 2: I see him all over He's working twenty four hours
6:31
Speaker 2: a day. But the job they've done is incredible and
6:34
Speaker 2: they caught one of the worst criminals in the world.
6:39
Speaker 2: I guess in terms of evilness, you don't get any
6:42
Speaker 2: worse than the MS thirteen guys and the trend the
6:45
Speaker 2: Iragua guys. You could flip a coin. It's a rough group,
6:49
Speaker 2: and you know, the big thing is they have to
6:51
Speaker 2: be able to do their job. I know. I saw.
6:54
Speaker 2: I was watching on television like you, and I saw
6:57
Speaker 2: the home that he lived in a good area, but boy,
7:01
Speaker 2: they had a lot of weaponry in there, right, highly sophisticated,
7:05
Speaker 2: really brutal stuff. So I appreciate the question, and I
7:09
Speaker 2: just want to thank Cash and Pam and the whole
7:12
Speaker 2: group of doing a vent and the local law enforcement
7:14
Speaker 2: who has been so terri even first responders. So I
7:19
Speaker 2: want to thank everybody and thank you very much.
7:23
Speaker 3: Sur President Happy.
7:24
Speaker 6: I want to say, first of all, happy Women's Month.
7:27
Speaker 6: Thanks so much for women by first of all keeping
7:30
Speaker 6: men out of women's sports, and you've platformed so many.
7:32
Speaker 2: It was an easy one that you've platformed so many
7:35
Speaker 2: great women, like your chief of chief of staff, Susie Wilds.
7:38
Speaker 7: You also have Carol.
7:39
Speaker 6: I love it doing a great job as press secretary,
7:41
Speaker 6: now Alena, who will be joining as well. Since Democrats
7:43
Speaker 6: seemed to struggle answering this question, I wanted to ask you,
7:46
Speaker 6: what is a woman and why is it important that
7:48
Speaker 6: we understand the difference between men and women.
7:50
Speaker 2: Well, it's sort of easy to answer for me, because
7:53
Speaker 2: a woman is somebody that can have a baby under
7:56
Speaker 2: certain circumstances. She has a quality. A woman is a
8:00
Speaker 2: person who's much smarter than a man I've always had.
8:04
Speaker 2: A woman is a person that doesn't give a man
8:07
Speaker 2: even a chance of success. And a woman is a
8:10
Speaker 2: person that in many cases has been treated very badly.
8:13
Speaker 2: Because I think that what happens with this crazy, this
8:17
Speaker 2: crazy issue of men being able to play in women's
8:20
Speaker 2: sports is just ridiculous and very unfair to women and
8:24
Speaker 2: very demeaning to women. And that's got to be about
8:26
Speaker 2: a ninety four percent. I read today it was a
8:29
Speaker 2: ninety four percent issue, and I watched the other day
8:31
Speaker 2: I watched congressman, a Democrat congressman, fighting for the fact
8:37
Speaker 2: that men should be allowed to compete essentially in women's sports,
8:42
Speaker 2: and I say, I hope they keep that going because
8:45
Speaker 2: they'll never win another election. That's a big deal. But
8:48
Speaker 2: women are basically incredible. People do so much for our
8:51
Speaker 2: country and we love we love our women, and we're
8:54
Speaker 2: going to take care of our women. Yeah.
8:57
Speaker 4: Reason, what was your reason for pardoning Trevor?
9:02
Speaker 2: Highly recommended by many people, that was taken advantage of.
9:08
Speaker 2: He did a business deal like in Utah's. I have it,
9:12
Speaker 2: and I think he was exonerated. And then they brought
9:16
Speaker 2: him into New York. Whe had a rough, rough road
9:21
Speaker 2: and rode. I mean, he was exonerated. It was a
9:24
Speaker 2: big celebration. Again, I don't know him, but I was.
9:28
Speaker 2: They say it was very unfair, and they say the
9:31
Speaker 2: thing that he did wrong was he was one of
9:33
Speaker 2: the first people that supported a gentleman named Donald Trump
9:37
Speaker 2: for president. He supported Trump. He liked Trump. I didn't
9:40
Speaker 2: know him, but he liked him. It was in Utah
9:43
Speaker 2: and they went after him. They went after his family,
9:46
Speaker 2: they went after his businesses, and he was I believe, exonerated.
9:51
Speaker 2: And then they went after him again and they brought
9:53
Speaker 2: him this time into Manhattan and he had nothing to
9:56
Speaker 2: do with Manhattan and they got him. And I said,
10:00
Speaker 2: that's unfair. There are many people like that. They support Trump,
10:04
Speaker 2: and they went after him. You don't realize this is
10:06
Speaker 2: a vicious group of people that were in this office
10:09
Speaker 2: before us. This is a vicious group. They're violent. What
10:12
Speaker 2: they would what they were doing to people, And you
10:15
Speaker 2: could go story after hundreds and even thousands of stories. Uh.
10:21
Speaker 2: And they went after this man. And when I heard
10:24
Speaker 2: about it, I said, Nope, not going to happen. They persecured,
10:28
Speaker 2: they destroyed five years of his life. He went fought
10:31
Speaker 2: for five years of his life, and he did nothing wrong,
10:34
Speaker 2: and he's a good person. And basically I had these
10:38
Speaker 2: fantastic recommendations about him from people that you know very well,
10:43
Speaker 2: all top of the line people. They thought it was
10:45
Speaker 2: a horrible thing. There were there are many such cases,
10:47
Speaker 2: by the way, many such cases ahead.
10:54
Speaker 3: Thank you, miss Brosdy.
10:55
Speaker 7: Have you thought of her putin about buying weapons from
10:58
Speaker 7: Iran and from North Korea?
11:00
Speaker 2: Not about specifically that now, I haven't seems to be.
11:03
Speaker 3: An issue that you want to make important.
11:05
Speaker 2: Is well, I'm making all issues important. You got a
11:08
Speaker 2: lot of important issues. You also have the children issue
11:10
Speaker 2: that's important. You know a lot of children are living
11:15
Speaker 2: in Russia right now. That's a horrible situation that would
11:18
Speaker 2: have never taken place of and the country is being decimated,
11:23
Speaker 2: but you know they're losing two thousand, five hundred or
11:26
Speaker 2: average young men, mostly men almost in all cases men actually,
11:32
Speaker 2: but young men every single week, two thousand and five hundred.
11:36
Speaker 2: And they're not from our country. They're from Ukraine and
11:39
Speaker 2: they're from Russia. But it's human lives and if we
11:42
Speaker 2: can get it stopped, and I think we're making progress,
11:45
Speaker 2: but there's a lot of ill will between the parties.
11:51
Speaker 1: Should Americans buy cars now if they want to avoid
11:54
Speaker 1: higher prices and then just I don't think so.
11:56
Speaker 2: I think you're going to have a country that's going
11:58
Speaker 2: to boom. Just spoke to Tim Cook of Apple. He's
12:01
Speaker 2: investing five hundred billion dollars in the United States, which
12:04
Speaker 2: he would have never He told me, I would never
12:07
Speaker 2: have done it if you lost the election, and I
12:09
Speaker 2: would have never done it if there wasn't a tariff system.
12:12
Speaker 2: That is an incentive for people to come. And remember
12:16
Speaker 2: there are no tariffs. All you have to do is
12:18
Speaker 2: do your work right here. If you have your company here,
12:21
Speaker 2: if you build your product, make your product, make your
12:24
Speaker 2: car or whatever it is, you're making no tariffs. And
12:27
Speaker 2: we're going to have I think Scott I would say
12:30
Speaker 2: we're close to four trillion dollars, even going close to
12:33
Speaker 2: five trillion. Now, we haven't had that for years, if
12:39
Speaker 2: you add up years, they haven't invested like that, And
12:42
Speaker 2: here we are in two months. We think we're up
12:44
Speaker 2: to close to five trillion dollars of investment. They're going
12:46
Speaker 2: to build car plants, they're already building. Many of them
12:49
Speaker 2: have already started. And if you build a car in
12:52
Speaker 2: the United States. And one thing that we just I
12:54
Speaker 2: just spoke with John Thune about I just spoke to
12:58
Speaker 2: Mike Johnson about speaker. We're going to do something that
13:02
Speaker 2: has never been done in this country before. I'm very
13:04
Speaker 2: proud to say it was my idea. And so sometimes
13:07
Speaker 2: a simple idea, they say, how'd you think of that one?
13:09
Speaker 2: It's so simple, it's never done. If you buy a
13:12
Speaker 2: car in the United States that's made in the United States,
13:15
Speaker 2: if it's a manufactured here. When you borrow money, if
13:18
Speaker 2: you borrow money, you have interest payments, We're going to
13:21
Speaker 2: let you deduct the interest payment for income tax reasons.
13:24
Speaker 2: And I think that's going to more than pay for itself.
13:27
Speaker 2: I think people are going to be they've never had
13:29
Speaker 2: a deduction, you know, deductions are supposed to be for
13:32
Speaker 2: rich people, and it's unfair to have that, But rich
13:36
Speaker 2: people are I think I know more about deductions than
13:39
Speaker 2: any human being on earth. But you know the truth
13:42
Speaker 2: is that people that are middle income people that buy
13:45
Speaker 2: a car and actually have to borrow money, they're going
13:48
Speaker 2: to now get an interest deduction on their car if
13:51
Speaker 2: it's made in the United States. If it's made someplace else,
13:54
Speaker 2: that won't take place. But car companies, as you know,
13:57
Speaker 2: are already expanding and building new places. They've already started.
14:01
Speaker 2: And I think you're going to see numbers. Howard you're
14:04
Speaker 2: seeing it, and Scott you're seeing it. You're going to
14:07
Speaker 2: see numbers the likes of which you've never seen before. Yeah,
14:10
Speaker 2: please go President.
14:12
Speaker 3: The Vice president is in Greenland right now.
14:14
Speaker 1: Do you have plans to expand US military presence in Greenland?
14:19
Speaker 2: Is that very well with Greenland? We get along very
14:23
Speaker 2: well with Denmark. We've always had a good way Denmark.
14:25
Speaker 2: There's a lot of business in the United States. We
14:28
Speaker 2: don't do so much there, but they do a lot
14:30
Speaker 2: of business in the United States, and I think they
14:33
Speaker 2: want to see I think everybody wants to see that workout.
14:36
Speaker 2: We need Greenland very importantly for international security. We have
14:42
Speaker 2: to have Greenland. It's not a question of do you
14:44
Speaker 2: think we can do without it. We can't. If you
14:47
Speaker 2: look at Greenland right now, if you look at the waterways,
14:50
Speaker 2: you have Chinese and Russian ships all over the place,
14:53
Speaker 2: and we're not going to be able to do that.
14:55
Speaker 2: We're not relying on Denmark or anybody else to take
14:58
Speaker 2: care of that situation. We're not talking about peace for
15:02
Speaker 2: the United States, we're talking about world peace. We're talking
15:04
Speaker 2: about international security. And right now you look at it,
15:09
Speaker 2: you have warships all over the place going through right
15:12
Speaker 2: along Greenland. We're not going to let that happen. We
15:15
Speaker 2: cannot let that happen. Or if it's going to happen,
15:18
Speaker 2: we have to be protective of our country and more important,
15:23
Speaker 2: really protection not only of our country, of the world.
15:25
Speaker 2: So Greenland is very important in modern day weaponry makes
15:29
Speaker 2: Greenland one hundred years ago less so. But also if
15:35
Speaker 2: you notice, if you notice also some of those you
15:39
Speaker 2: could call them roadways, Okay, they're water roadways, but some
15:43
Speaker 2: of those areas are opening up, and they're opening up
15:47
Speaker 2: ice breakers out there. They're opening them and by just
15:50
Speaker 2: nature they're opening up and they're headed right into China,
15:53
Speaker 2: right into Russia, and we have no choice. The answer
15:58
Speaker 2: is he's there with his wonder a full wife Usha.
16:01
Speaker 2: They're there right now. They landed a couple of hours ago,
16:04
Speaker 2: and they will represent us well. But Greenland is very
16:07
Speaker 2: important for the peace of the world, not the peace
16:11
Speaker 2: of the entire world. And I think Denmark understands it.
16:15
Speaker 2: I think the European Union understands it. And if they don't,
16:18
Speaker 2: we're going to have to explain it.
16:19
Speaker 7: To Iranian drones are attacking and killing Ukrainians every day.
16:29
Speaker 3: Why are you doing something about that?
16:30
Speaker 2: Well, we're going to see what happens with that. I'm
16:32
Speaker 2: getting reports on that and we're looking at a report.
16:35
Speaker 2: You're right, Uh, they make a lot of drones. Iran
16:38
Speaker 2: makes a lot of drones. They make very effective drones too.
16:40
