Transcript
- 0:24Speaker 1: Thank you very much. It's an honor to be with you.
- 0:28Speaker 2: Many things are happening that are exciting, very exciting for
- 0:32Speaker 2: our country, and we're honored to welcome one of the
- 0:37Speaker 2: most respected business leaders in the Middle East, indeed the world.
- 0:42Speaker 2: He's a founder and chairman of Damac Properties, Hussein Sejuani.
- 0:49Speaker 2: Very respected gentlemen, and I'm thrilled to announce today that
- 0:53Speaker 2: Demac will be investing at least twenty billion dollars over
- 0:58Speaker 2: a very short period of time into the United States,
- 1:02Speaker 2: and they may go double or even somewhat more than
- 1:06Speaker 2: double that amount of money. There's a great thing, and
- 1:10Speaker 2: I believe he will say that he's doing it because
- 1:13Speaker 2: of the fact that he was very inspired by the election.
- 1:17Speaker 2: They wouldn't do it without that election. I can tell
- 1:20Speaker 2: you a lot of people wouldn't. You saw last week
- 1:22Speaker 2: where we have somebody who's going to go from one
- 1:25Speaker 2: hundred to two hundred billion dollars, And we have many
- 1:28Speaker 2: other people, and we'll be bringing some of them out.
- 1:30Speaker 2: Some of them like to do it somewhat more quietly,
- 1:34Speaker 2: and some don't. And they feel so strongly about the
- 1:37Speaker 2: country that they they want to let people.
- 1:40Speaker 1: Know about it.
- 1:41Speaker 2: But it's an honor to have such a great investor
- 1:44Speaker 2: investing in our country. The investment will support massive new
- 1:48Speaker 2: data centers across the Midwest, the sun Belt area, and
- 1:52Speaker 2: also to keep America on the cutting edge of technology
- 1:55Speaker 2: and artificial intelligence.
- 1:57Speaker 3: He is.
- 1:59Speaker 2: Very big into the data centers and that's going to
- 2:01Speaker 2: be a very hot item in the coming years, as
- 2:03Speaker 2: you know, with AI in particular. The first phase of
- 2:08Speaker 2: the project will be in Texas, Arizona, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Ohio, Illinois, Michigan,
- 2:15Speaker 2: and Indiana, those places, and Hussein, I'd love you to
- 2:19Speaker 2: come up and say a few words.
- 2:20Speaker 1: Thank you very much, thank.
- 2:21Speaker 4: You, thank you, thank you, mister President. It's been amazing
- 2:28Speaker 4: news for me and my family. When he was elected
- 2:32Speaker 4: in November, we've been waiting four years to increase our
- 2:37Speaker 4: investments in US to a very large amount of money.
- 2:41Speaker 4: We are a company operating in more than twenty countries
- 2:43Speaker 4: around the world. We have delivered more than forty five
- 2:46Speaker 4: thousand luxury units and another forty five thousand in the
- 2:51Speaker 4: pipeline in data center. We are in ten countries around
- 2:54Speaker 4: the world in Asia, Europe and Middle East, and we're
- 2:59Speaker 4: very very excited now with his leadership and his open
- 3:03Speaker 4: strategy and policy to encourage businesses to come to us.
- 3:07Speaker 4: For the last four years, we've been waiting for this moment,
- 3:10Speaker 4: and we're planning to invest twenty billion dollars and even
- 3:14Speaker 4: more than that if the opportunity in the market allow us.
- 3:17Speaker 4: But at the moment, we're planning twenty billion dollars in
- 3:20Speaker 4: data center catering for the AI and cloud business for
- 3:24Speaker 4: the hyper scalers.
- 3:26Speaker 2: Thank you, miss thank you very much, so nice.
- 3:32Speaker 1: And that man knows what he's doing.
- 3:34Speaker 2: He knows, so Hussein, we're going to work with you
- 3:40Speaker 2: and make sure everything goes smoothly. We have powers that
- 3:44Speaker 2: haven't really been used in terms of environmental A few
- 3:48Speaker 2: invest over a billion dollars in the United States. We're
- 3:51Speaker 2: going to give expedited reviews to everybody because everyone's afraid
- 3:54Speaker 2: they're going to come in and get caught in the quagmire,
- 3:56Speaker 2: which is very prevalent in the United States, unfortunately, the
- 4:01Speaker 2: quagmire of environmental and various other regulations and rules.
- 4:05Speaker 1: And I made it a point of telling people.
- 4:08Speaker 2: If you invest a billion dollars or more, and we'll
- 4:12Speaker 2: do this for people with far less too. But we
- 4:15Speaker 2: guarantee it. We're going to move them quickly through the
- 4:17Speaker 2: environmental process. Sometimes people held up twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen years.
- 4:24Speaker 2: I saw it with plants in Louisiana, where I got
- 4:27Speaker 2: it approved in literally a week they were through the
- 4:30Speaker 2: review and one week after spending fourteen and a half
- 4:34Speaker 2: years trying to get it, and they were going nowhere.
- 4:37Speaker 2: It was a terrible thing. So I've been a victim
- 4:41Speaker 2: of that myself over the years, and I think I
- 4:44Speaker 2: know all the games and all the tricks that are played,
- 4:46Speaker 2: and much of it is just done to stop progress.
- 4:50Speaker 1: So we're going to be helping you.
- 4:51Speaker 2: And everybody else that comes to the United States and
- 4:55Speaker 2: wants to invest their money that you don't get tied
- 4:57Speaker 2: up for the rest of your life and you can't
- 4:58Speaker 2: do anything. Commitment further underscores that many of the greatest
- 5:03Speaker 2: business leaders on earth are seeing a very bright economic
- 5:06Speaker 2: future for America. Since the election, as you know, a
- 5:13Speaker 2: lot of positive things have happened. We are inheriting a
- 5:17Speaker 2: difficult situation from the outgoing administration, and they're trying everything
- 5:22Speaker 2: they can to make it more difficult. Inflation is continuing
- 5:27Speaker 2: to rage, and interest rates are far too high. And
- 5:32Speaker 2: I've been disappointed to see the Biden administration's attempt to
- 5:37Speaker 2: block the reforms of the American people and that they
- 5:40Speaker 2: voted for. They just we had a landslide election. We
- 5:42Speaker 2: won every swing state. We won the popular vote by
- 5:45Speaker 2: millions and millions of people.
- 5:48Speaker 1: Nobody even knows.
- 5:48Speaker 2: How many people millions, And they're still counting in some areas.
- 5:53Speaker 2: You know, they're still counting the vote in some areas.
- 5:56Speaker 2: Can you believe this?
- 5:57Speaker 1: What a place?
- 5:59Speaker 2: What a horrible Well, one of the things we're going
- 6:01Speaker 2: to do is we've got to fix the elections so
- 6:03Speaker 2: that we get honest counts and they get done by
- 6:06Speaker 2: ten o'clock in the evening or something up thereabouts. They
- 6:09Speaker 2: have places where they're still counting votes. President Biden's actions
- 6:16Speaker 2: yesterday on offshore drilling banning offshore drilling will not stand.
- 6:22Speaker 2: I will reverse it immediately. It'll be done immediately, and
- 6:27Speaker 2: we will drill baby drill, and we're going to be
- 6:29Speaker 2: drilling in a lot of other locations, and the energy
- 6:32Speaker 2: costs are going to come way down. They'll be brought
- 6:34Speaker 2: down to a very low level, and that's going to
- 6:37Speaker 2: bring everything else down. That's what caused it to go
- 6:40Speaker 2: up along with the ridiculous spending on the Green New scam.
- 6:44Speaker 2: All this money, trillions of dollars, is like throwing it
- 6:47Speaker 2: right out the window what they're doing. And they're trying
- 6:50Speaker 2: to spend so much now they're just taking money and
- 6:52Speaker 2: giving it to anybody that wants it for any project
- 6:54Speaker 2: at all, if it's certified under the Green New Scam.
- 6:59Speaker 2: And they don't work and it's too expensive. And you know,
- 7:04Speaker 2: they told me that we're going to do everything possible
- 7:08Speaker 2: to make this transition to the new administration very smooth.
- 7:12Speaker 2: It's not smooth because they're doing that. They're playing with
- 7:15Speaker 2: the courts. As you know, they've been playing with the
- 7:17Speaker 2: courts for four years. Probably got me more votes because
- 7:20Speaker 2: I got the highest number of votes ever gotten by
- 7:23Speaker 2: a Republican.
- 7:24Speaker 1: By far, actually by a lot.
- 7:27Speaker 2: And you know, we had a great election, so I
- 7:31Speaker 2: guess it didn't work. But even to this day, they're
- 7:34Speaker 2: playing with the courts, at their friendly judges that like
- 7:36Speaker 2: to try and make everybody happy.
- 7:38Speaker 1: On the Democrats.
- 7:40Speaker 2: It's called law fair, it's called weaponization of justice, and
- 7:43Speaker 2: it's happened at a level nobody's ever seen before. So
- 7:46Speaker 2: many I defeated deranged Jack Smith. He's a deranged individual.
- 7:50Speaker 2: I guess he's on his way back to the Hague.
- 7:53Speaker 2: And we won those cases. Those were the biggest ones,
- 7:56Speaker 2: and the press made such a big deal out of them.
- 7:59Speaker 2: But we did nothing wrong. We did nothing wrong on anything.
- 8:02Speaker 1: And the people saw that.
- 8:03Speaker 2: You know, when they vote to you when are Republican's
- 8:06Speaker 2: not easy for a Republican. When the Republican wins the
- 8:09Speaker 2: popular vote by millions and wins all seven of the
- 8:13Speaker 2: swing states, people said, well, he could win four. We
- 8:16Speaker 2: won all seven, and we want.
- 8:17Speaker 1: Him by a lot.
- 8:19Speaker 2: That tells you we want And they've been watching this
- 8:24Speaker 2: injustice I call it the Injustice Department. What they've done
- 8:28Speaker 2: is so bad. The whole world has watched that. And
- 8:32Speaker 2: it took work, but it got me a lot of
- 8:33Speaker 2: votes because when explained, we have a judge in New
- 8:37Speaker 2: York is a very crooked judge.
- 8:39Speaker 1: I'm under a gear gooder.
- 8:41Speaker 2: I can't even talk about aspects of the case that
- 8:43Speaker 2: are the most vital aspects I'm under. Do you know
- 8:46Speaker 2: that I'm the president elect of the United States of America.
- 8:50Speaker 2: I'm a former very successful president. We had the greatest
- 8:53Speaker 2: economy in the history of our country. We had borders
- 8:55Speaker 2: that were sealed and beautiful. We had everything was good.
- 8:58Speaker 2: We had no wars. We defeated Isis, we had no wars.
- 9:03Speaker 2: Now I'm going into a world that's burning with Russia
- 9:06Speaker 2: and Ukraine, with Israel. You took a look at that
- 9:11Speaker 2: attack on October seventh, the attack on Israel, with the
- 9:16Speaker 2: horrible way they got out, not the.
- 9:19Speaker 1: Fact that they got out.
- 9:19Speaker 2: I would have been out before them, but we would
- 9:22Speaker 2: have been out of Afghanistan with dignity and strength, as
- 9:24Speaker 2: opposed to looking like a bunch of fools, with thirteen
- 9:29Speaker 2: dead and many many badly horrifically injured. Nobody ever talks
- 9:32Speaker 2: about them. No arms, no legs, nobody ever talks about them.
- 9:37Speaker 2: The way they got out was outrageous, leaving billions of
- 9:41Speaker 2: dollars of brand new military equipment that I bought in
- 9:45Speaker 2: the hands of the Afghans and specifically the Taliban. It's
- 9:51Speaker 2: the group, and we were doing very well. We would
- 9:55Speaker 2: have been out, we would have been respected. I think
- 9:58Speaker 2: it's one of the reasons it was so badly handled
- 10:01Speaker 2: that withdrawal, where people are jumping onto airplanes, falling off
- 10:04Speaker 2: the sides of aeroplanes when they're three thousand feet in
- 10:06Speaker 2: the air, and nobody's ever seen anything like that the worst.
- 10:12Speaker 2: And because of that, I think Russia went and attacked
- 10:16Speaker 2: Ukraine where they saw that. They said, these guys are incompetent,
- 10:18Speaker 2: they don't know what they're doing, but we know what
- 10:20Speaker 2: we're doing now, and that's going to all end.
- 10:24Speaker 1: And we have a great military.
- 10:25Speaker 2: I defeated ISA says, you know, we were in no wars.
- 10:27Speaker 2: I just finished a couple and we got Also, our
- 10:31Speaker 2: soldiers guarding Syria and Turkey were in the Middle. We
- 10:36Speaker 2: had five thousand soldiers. There would have been gobbled up
- 10:39Speaker 2: with two armies. We had one army three hundred thousand.
- 10:42Speaker 2: We had another one five or six hundred thousand looking
- 10:45Speaker 2: getting ready.
- 10:46Speaker 1: We had five thousand people in the middle.
- 10:47Speaker 2: I said to a general, how did five thousand people
- 10:50Speaker 2: do in that case? And the general just looked at
- 10:52Speaker 2: me and said, not well, sir, not well. And I
- 10:55Speaker 2: took them out and you know what happened. Nothing I
- 10:58Speaker 2: got criticized. I say, five lives, actually, and we did
- 11:04Speaker 2: a great job, and we're gonna do an even better
- 11:06Speaker 2: job because now we have a tremendous amount of experience.
- 11:09Speaker 1: We have people that I can rely on.
- 11:11Speaker 2: But the six hundred twenty five million acres people can't realize.
- 11:17Speaker 2: It's like.
- 11:19Speaker 1: The whole ocean. Take an acre, you know, an acre.
- 11:22Speaker 2: You have a house on a half, an acre, on
- 11:24Speaker 2: a quarter of an acre or an acre. If you
- 11:26Speaker 2: have an acre, you have a big deal. Now you
- 11:31Speaker 2: multiply that by six hundred and twenty five million acres,
- 11:37Speaker 2: It's like feels like the whole ocean. And that's our strength.
- 11:43Speaker 2: You know, people can say we manufacturer. We don't manufacture
- 11:47Speaker 2: a thing. We have. We have oil and gas more
- 11:49Speaker 2: than anybody in the world. We're gonna have more of
- 11:52Speaker 2: it too. But they took away six hundred and twenty
- 11:57Speaker 2: five million acres of offshore drilling.
- 12:00Speaker 1: Nobody else does that, and they think they have it.
- 12:04Speaker 2: But we'll put it back. I'm gonna put it back
- 12:06Speaker 2: on day one. I'm gonna have it revoked on day one.
- 12:08Speaker 2: We'll go immediately if we need to. I don't think
- 12:09Speaker 2: we should have to go to the courts, but if
- 12:11Speaker 2: we do have to go to the courts, you know,
- 12:12Speaker 2: they try to be sneaky. They go in and they say,
- 12:15Speaker 2: and remember this is a man that said he wants
- 12:17Speaker 2: to transition to be smooth. Well, you don't do the
- 12:19Speaker 2: kind of things you don't have a judge working real
- 12:21Speaker 2: hard to try and embarrass you. Because I did nothing wrong.
- 12:25Speaker 2: By the way, I did nothing, absolutely nothing wrong. If
- 12:28Speaker 2: I did something wrong, I wouldn't be standing.
- 12:30Speaker 1: Here right now because I've won all these cases.
- 12:33Speaker 2: Nobody's ever won so many cases as I have against
- 12:36Speaker 2: the Justice Department. I mean, Jack Smith had cases all
- 12:39Speaker 2: over the place. People were being subpoened, lives were being ruined,
- 12:42Speaker 2: they were spending everything they had money.
- 12:44Speaker 1: We were helping them out, we had to.
- 12:47Speaker 2: They were subpoenaing people from that had no idea what
- 12:51Speaker 2: they were even talking about. That's a sick group of people.
- 12:55Speaker 2: And it was all to influence the election. It was
- 12:58Speaker 2: all a fight again state political opponent. We've never had
- 13:01Speaker 2: that in this country. We have had that in certain countries.
- 13:05Speaker 2: We've had that in third tier countries. We've had that
- 13:10Speaker 2: in Banana republics, but we've never had that in a
- 13:14Speaker 2: place like the United States. I don't even know if
- 13:17Speaker 2: it's been on a small level. I'm sure it has
- 13:19Speaker 2: been on a small level, but this was the largest
- 13:21Speaker 2: level ever. They brought this moron out of the Hague.
- 13:24Speaker 1: He's a mean guy. He's a mean, nasty guy.
- 13:27Speaker 2: His picture was perfect because you look at his picture,
- 13:30Speaker 2: you say, that's a bad guy with his robe, his
- 13:32Speaker 2: pope purple robe, and he executes people. He shouldn't be
- 13:36Speaker 2: allowed to execute people because he'll execute everybody. He's a
- 13:39Speaker 2: nutsyeb But we want all of those cases with him.
- 13:43Speaker 2: And I mean, I don't know the judge in Florida,
- 13:47Speaker 2: but we had a brilliant judge in Florida that's saw
- 13:49Speaker 2: right through it and we won the case. She was
- 13:52Speaker 2: brilliant judge with great courage. You know, the left, as
- 13:58Speaker 2: we call them the radical left, they have a way.
- 14:01Speaker 1: They play the ref and they play it very hard.
- 14:04Speaker 1: They play the ref.
- 14:06Speaker 2: They go and say horrible things about judges and prosecutors,
- 14:09Speaker 2: and some judges and prosecutors say, look, the only way
- 14:12Speaker 2: I'm going to get these people off my back is
- 14:14Speaker 2: to give victory to them. They're playing the ref. I
- 14:16Speaker 2: think it's illegal what they do. It's almost like talking.
- 14:19Speaker 2: It's worse than talking to a judge. But the judge
- 14:25Speaker 2: in Florida, Judge Cannon, was brilliant and tough and she
- 14:28Speaker 2: didn't stand for it. And I don't know her and
- 14:33Speaker 2: never met her until the case, and I don't believe
- 14:36Speaker 2: I said even one word to her. But she was
- 14:39Speaker 2: very very strong and very very brilliant, and her opinion
- 14:42Speaker 2: was so brilliant that they dropped their appeal.
- 14:44Speaker 1: They couldn't beat the appeal.
- 14:47Speaker 2: So that's what we're up against. So they say we're
- 14:49Speaker 2: going to have a smooth transition. All they do is talk.
- 14:52Speaker 2: It's all talk. Everything they do is talk. We're gonna
- 14:55Speaker 2: have a smooth transition. And then they take six hundred
- 14:58Speaker 2: and twenty five million acres and they essentially landmarket so
- 15:02Speaker 2: you can't ever drill there. Again, well, we're going to
- 15:04Speaker 2: be drilling soon. We're going to be opening up and war.
- 15:07Speaker 2: We're going to be doing all sorts of things that
- 15:11Speaker 2: nobody ever thought was even possible. But remember when when,
- 15:15Speaker 2: And just to get off the subject, because I couldn't
- 15:17Speaker 2: believe it when I heard it yesterday. I couldn't believe
- 15:19Speaker 2: the size of it. I mean, you put down a
- 15:21Speaker 2: map and put this up.
- 15:22Speaker 1: It's just massive.
- 15:24Speaker 2: And remember that that's worth probably. I mean I've had
- 15:29Speaker 2: estimates forty to fifty trillion dollars. That's more than our
- 15:33Speaker 2: national debt. Essentially, he's thrown it away. He's thrown it away.
- 15:38Speaker 2: He's taken fifty trillion dollars. So if we owe thirty
- 15:43Speaker 2: five trillion, he's taken fifty trillion dollars of value and
- 15:48Speaker 2: throwing it right out of the window. We can't do that.
- 15:50Speaker 2: Nobody can do that. One other thing he did yesterday,
- 15:53Speaker 2: which was in many ways worse. It's hard to believe
- 15:57Speaker 2: it can be worse. He wants all out of your
- 16:02Speaker 2: homes and apartments. He wants them to be replaced by
- 16:07Speaker 2: essentially electric heaters.
- 16:08Speaker 1: I don't know what it.
- 16:09Speaker 2: Is with electric. This guy loves electric. We're going to
- 16:11Speaker 2: be ending the electric car mandate quickly.
- 16:13Speaker 1: By the way.
- 16:14Speaker 2: This guy loves electric, and we don't have enough electricity,
- 16:19Speaker 2: and then we have AI where we need more, and
- 16:20Speaker 2: he wants to get He wants everybody to have an
- 16:22Speaker 2: electric heater instead of a gas heater. Gas heater is
- 16:25Speaker 2: much less expensive, The heat is much better, it's a
- 16:29Speaker 2: much better heat. As the expression goes, you don't itch.
- 16:34Speaker 2: Does anybody have a heater where you go and you scratching?
- 16:37Speaker 2: And that's what they want you to have. They don't
- 16:39Speaker 2: want you to have gas where you don't have the
- 16:41Speaker 2: problems of the electric and the source is plentiful. They're
- 16:47Speaker 2: much cheaper to operate, they're much better, they work much better,
- 16:50Speaker 2: they look much better. Sixty of homes and apartments have
- 16:55Speaker 2: gas heaters. He wants them all removed quickly. These people
- 16:59Speaker 2: are crazy. Something wrong with them. There's something wrong with them.
- 17:03Speaker 2: They also want to go back, and they have already
- 17:05Speaker 2: started that too. When you buy a force that no
- 17:08Speaker 2: water comes out, because they want to preserve even in
- 17:10Speaker 2: areas that have so much water you don't know what
- 17:12Speaker 2: to do. It's called rain comes down from comes down
- 17:15Speaker 2: from heaven, and they want to do No water comes
- 17:20Speaker 2: out of the shower. It goes drip, drip, drip. So
- 17:26Speaker 2: what happens you're in the shower ten times as long
- 17:28Speaker 2: as you know no water comes out of the faucet,
- 17:30Speaker 2: you want to wash your hands, your head. They want
- 17:32Speaker 2: to go back to even stronger than what they have
- 17:35Speaker 2: right now. I as you know, I ended that policy.
- 17:38Speaker 2: You can have all the water you want, makes no difference.
- 17:41Speaker 2: It comes we especially in certain areas, we have so
- 17:43Speaker 2: much water we don't know.
- 17:44Speaker 1: What to do with it.
- 17:46Speaker 2: But these are all things they want very very little
- 17:49Speaker 2: water to go into your dishwasher, almost none. And you
- 17:52Speaker 2: know what people do, They just keep pressing, pressing, pressing,
- 17:55Speaker 2: keep it going. They end up using more water. Likewise,
- 17:58Speaker 2: washing machines. They want in your washing machine to have
- 18:02Speaker 2: very little water coming out of the washing machine. So
- 18:04Speaker 2: when you wash it clothing, you have to wash it
- 18:06Speaker 2: four times instead of once. You end up using more water.
- 18:11Speaker 2: We're a party of common sense and things that I'm
- 18:13Speaker 2: telling you now is really all about common sense. And
- 18:17Speaker 2: January twentieth will turn the economy around very quickly, because
- 18:21Speaker 2: right now we are When I think of our economy,
- 18:24Speaker 2: I think about inflation.
- 18:26Speaker 1: That's what we have.
- 18:27Speaker 2: We have infati, I believe at a level that we
- 18:30Speaker 2: never had before. There's never been anything like it. And
- 18:33Speaker 2: over the next four years, the United States is going
- 18:35Speaker 2: to take off like a rocket ship. But really it's
- 18:39Speaker 2: already doing.
- 18:40Speaker 1: It if you take a look.
- 18:42Speaker 2: Just last month, soft Bank announced the two hundred billion dollars.
- 18:46Speaker 2: I think it'll be two hundred, he said, between one hundred,
- 18:49Speaker 2: and I said, how about making it two hundred and
- 18:51Speaker 2: you sort of said yes, but let's say it's one hundred,
- 18:53Speaker 2: but it might be two hundred, right, Brian Dollars the
- 18:56Speaker 2: United States creating more than one hundred thousand jobs. Hussain
- 19:01Speaker 2: just announced tremendous investment that he's going to make, and
- 19:05Speaker 2: that's money that's in the bank. He's going to come
- 19:08Speaker 2: and do it, and he'll do a great job, and
- 19:09Speaker 2: he'll build the best centers in the country. I guarantee,
- 19:11Speaker 2: because I know the way he builds. Since my election,
- 19:14Speaker 2: the stock market has set records. The S and P
- 19:17Speaker 2: five hundred index has broken above six thousand points for
- 19:20Speaker 2: the first time ever, never even close. In a single month.
- 19:24Speaker 2: Small business optimism seward forty one points. It's not a
- 19:30Speaker 2: forty one. It went up forty one points, and that's
- 19:33Speaker 2: the largest in the thirty nine thirty nine year history
- 19:36Speaker 2: of the group that does it. According to Gallup, the
- 19:40Speaker 2: American people's confidence in the economy has just surged to
- 19:43Speaker 2: the highest level in history. That's why I have a
- 19:46Speaker 2: news conference like that. I take the greatest business leaders
- 19:49Speaker 2: in the world, I say, hey, do you want to
- 19:50Speaker 2: say you're going to invest the money? They're not looking
- 19:53Speaker 2: for news conference. It's saying what am I doing here?
- 19:56Speaker 2: They go in and they invest money. But it's it's
- 19:58Speaker 2: good to know where the smartest business people in the world.
- 20:01Speaker 2: They're investing, and they're investing in the United States. So
- 20:06Speaker 2: we've done this all in two months of not being there.
- 20:09Speaker 2: You know, we haven't been there, and it's pretty amazing,
- 20:14Speaker 2: and we think we're going to do some really great things,
- 20:18Speaker 2: really great things. We're being respected again all over the world.
- 20:21Speaker 2: The Panama Canal is a disgrace. What took place at
- 20:24Speaker 2: the Panama Canal. Jimmy Carter gave it to them for
- 20:27Speaker 2: one dollar, and they were supposed to treat us well.
- 20:30Speaker 2: I thought it was a terrible thing to do. It
- 20:32Speaker 2: was the most expensive structure ever built in the history
- 20:38Speaker 2: of our country. Relatively, it would be the equivalent of
- 20:42Speaker 2: over substantially over a trillion dollars today. We lost thirty
- 20:48Speaker 2: eight thousand people. Think of it, thirty eight thousand people.
- 20:51Speaker 2: They died from malarias mosquitoes. They were unable to stop
- 20:55Speaker 2: the mosquitoes. They paid people five times more to take
- 20:58Speaker 2: the job. Many of those people died. We gave it
- 21:01Speaker 2: away for a dollar. But the deal was that, you know,
- 21:05Speaker 2: they have to treat us fairly. They don't treat us fairly.
- 21:07Speaker 2: They charge more for our ships that they charge for
- 21:09Speaker 2: ships of other countries. They charge more for our navy
- 21:13Speaker 2: than they charge for navies of other countries. They laugh
- 21:16Speaker 2: at us because they think we're stupid, but we're not
- 21:19Speaker 2: stupid anymore. So the Panama Canal is under discussion with
- 21:24Speaker 2: them right now. They violated every aspect of the agreement,
- 21:27Speaker 2: and they morally violated it also, and they want our
- 21:33Speaker 2: help because it's leaking and not in good repair, and
- 21:38Speaker 2: they want us to give three billion dollars to help
- 21:40Speaker 2: fix it. I said, well, why don't you get the
- 21:43Speaker 2: money from China, because China's basically taken it over. China's
- 21:47Speaker 2: at both ends of the Panama Canal. China's running the
- 21:50Speaker 2: Panama Canal. And they come to see this Biden, this
- 21:54Speaker 2: guy who should never have been allowed even to run
- 21:58Speaker 2: for president. Of course she shouldn't have either, because that
- 22:01Speaker 2: never happened. I had to be two people, not one.
- 22:05Speaker 2: But they want three billion dollars to fix the Panama
- 22:07Speaker 2: Canal that's run by China and makes a lot of money.
- 22:10Speaker 2: China one of the most profitable structures ever built, because
- 22:14Speaker 2: you have ships lined up back to Florida, frankly, and
- 22:18Speaker 2: they just keep going through, and the numbers are saggering
- 22:21Speaker 2: half a million to a million dollars a ship, and
- 22:25Speaker 2: they took it away from us, meaning we gave it
- 22:29Speaker 2: to them for a dollar. But not gonna be, not
- 22:32Speaker 2: gonna happen. What they've done to us. They've charged us,
- 22:35Speaker 2: they've overcharged our ships, overcharged our navy, and then when
- 22:40Speaker 2: they need repair money they come to the United States
- 22:42Speaker 2: to put it up.
- 22:43Speaker 1: We get nothing. Those days are over.
- 22:46Speaker 2: Working with the Republican majorities in Congress, will cut taxes,
- 22:51Speaker 2: slash regulations, raise wages, and boost incomes that have paced
- 22:55Speaker 2: the world has not seen before and certainly not from
- 22:59Speaker 2: our country.
- 23:00Speaker 1: We had a big chunk of.
- 23:02Speaker 2: It for the first three years of prior to COVID
- 23:05Speaker 2: coming in in my administration, with the greatest economy in history,
- 23:08Speaker 2: we cut the most regulations.
- 23:11Speaker 1: In the history of our country.
- 23:12Speaker 2: And I did that all in four years, by four
- 23:15Speaker 2: times more than any other president cut. We did that
- 23:19Speaker 2: in four years and we were just getting started. We'll
- 23:22Speaker 2: impose new tariffs so that the products on our stores
- 23:26Speaker 2: will once again be stamped with those beautiful words made
- 23:30Speaker 2: in the USA. And we are not treated well, as
- 23:34Speaker 2: you know by Canada. Canada is subsidized to the tune
- 23:38Speaker 2: of about two hundred billion dollars a year plus other things.
- 23:44Speaker 2: They don't essentially have a military. They have a very
- 23:46Speaker 2: small military. They rely on our Military's all fine, but
- 23:51Speaker 2: you know they got to pay for that. It's very unfair.
- 23:54Speaker 2: I have so many great friends. One of them is
- 23:58Speaker 2: the great one, Wayne Retzka. I said, run for prime minister.
- 24:01Speaker 1: You'll win in.
- 24:02Speaker 2: A It'll take two seconds. But he said, well, am
- 24:06Speaker 2: I going to run for a prime minister or governor?
- 24:07Speaker 2: You tell me? I said, I said, let's make it governor.
- 24:11Speaker 2: I like it better, but something's going to have to
- 24:14Speaker 2: be done. Same thing with Mexico. We have a massive
- 24:16Speaker 2: deficit with Mexico, and we help Mexico a lot. They're
- 24:20Speaker 2: essentially run by the cartels and can't let that happen.
- 24:27Speaker 2: Mexico's really in trouble, a lot of trouble, very dangerous place,
- 24:32Speaker 2: and we're going to be announcing it a future date
- 24:36Speaker 2: pretty soon. We're going to change because we do most
- 24:40Speaker 2: of the work there and it's ours.
- 24:43Speaker 1: We're going to be changed.
- 24:43Speaker 2: You're sort of the opposite of Biden, where he's closing
- 24:46Speaker 2: everything up, essentially getting rid of fifty to sixty trillion
- 24:50Speaker 2: dollars worth of assets. We're going to be changing the
- 24:54Speaker 2: name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America,
- 24:59Speaker 2: which has beautiful ring that covers a lot of territory.
- 25:03Speaker 2: The Gulf of America. What a beautiful name, and it's appropriate.
- 25:07Speaker 2: It's appropriate. And Mexico has to stop allowing millions of
- 25:12Speaker 2: people to pour into our country.
- 25:14Speaker 1: They can stop them. And we're gonna put.
- 25:18Speaker 2: Very serious tariffs on Mexico and Canada because Canada.
- 25:21Speaker 1: They come through Canada too.
- 25:22Speaker 2: And the drugs that are coming through are at record numbers,
- 25:26Speaker 2: record numbers. So we're going to make up for that
- 25:29Speaker 2: by putting tariffs on Mexico and Canada, substantial tariffs.
- 25:35Speaker 1: Then we want to get along with everybody, but you.
- 25:37Speaker 4: Know they have to.
- 25:38Speaker 2: It's it's got to It takes two to tango. We're
- 25:42Speaker 2: approaching the dawn of America's golden age is going to
- 25:45Speaker 2: be a golden age for America. We have things that
- 25:47Speaker 2: nobody else has. We have more natural resources.
- 25:49Speaker 1: We have.
- 25:51Speaker 2: Number one. Nobody knew that until I came along.
- 25:54Speaker 1: I made this number one. We're number three. I made
- 25:57Speaker 1: us number.
- 25:57Speaker 2: One, and in a very short periodod of time in drilling.
- 26:02Speaker 2: And you know, you can talk about windmills. They litter
- 26:05Speaker 2: our country. They're littered all over our country, like dropping paper,
- 26:11Speaker 2: like dropping garbage in a field. And that's what happens
- 26:16Speaker 2: to them because in a period of time they turn
- 26:18Speaker 2: to garbage. The most expensive energy ever. They only work
- 26:21Speaker 2: if you get subsidy. The only people that want them
- 26:23Speaker 2: are the people. They're getting rich off windmills, getting massive
- 26:26Speaker 2: subsidies from the US government. And it's the most expensive
- 26:29Speaker 2: energy there is. It's many, many times more expensive than
- 26:33Speaker 2: clean natural gas. So we're gonna try and have a
- 26:38Speaker 2: policy where no windmills are being built. You know, off
- 26:40Speaker 2: the coast of New Jersey, they want to build like
- 26:42Speaker 2: two hundred windmills that people are going crazy. Nobody wants them,
- 26:46Speaker 2: and they're very expensive. They don't work without subsidy. You
- 26:49Speaker 2: don't want energy that needs subsidy. Energy is a good business.
- 26:52Speaker 2: You don't need subsidy. But when you build these massive
- 26:55Speaker 2: towers and they're twenty five stories tall, forty stories they
- 26:58Speaker 2: have one seventy stores tall the blades, they take three
- 27:03Speaker 2: ships to ship them.
- 27:05Speaker 1: It's crazy. They're dangerous.
- 27:07Speaker 2: You see what's happening up in the Massachusetts area with
- 27:10Speaker 2: the whales, where they had two whales wash ashore and
- 27:14Speaker 2: I think a seventeen year period and now they had
- 27:17Speaker 2: fourteen this season. The windmills are driving the whales crazy, obviously,
- 27:24Speaker 2: and they had actually over I think one hundred and
- 27:27Speaker 2: twenty five or something over a number of years, over
- 27:29Speaker 2: a number of years, and we don't want that to happen.
- 27:32Speaker 1: It's a disaster.
- 27:33Speaker 2: It's amazing the way a true environmentalist would say, oh,
- 27:36Speaker 2: we love wind, it sounds good, but that's about where
- 27:38Speaker 2: it ends. You know, after ten years you have to
- 27:41Speaker 2: redo them. And what happens is they don't do that.
- 27:44Speaker 2: They let them stand and they rust and they say
- 27:46Speaker 2: because of the environment. I'm not a believer in this,
- 27:49Speaker 2: but they say, you can't because it's a certain fiberglass
- 27:52Speaker 2: that the blades cannot be buried in earth. That that's
- 27:55Speaker 2: an environment. So what do you do with them? What
- 27:58Speaker 2: do you do with them? And I don't know if
- 27:59Speaker 2: you've ever gone to Palm Springs, California, or any of
- 28:02Speaker 2: these places where we have long term windmill standing, they're
- 28:06Speaker 2: a disaster. They're rusting, rotting, closed, falling down. This is
- 28:10Speaker 2: as you enter Palm springs, and they put new ones
- 28:14Speaker 2: next to them because nobody wants to take them down,
- 28:16Speaker 2: because why should they take them down. It's very expensive
- 28:19Speaker 2: to take them down, and you can't do anything with
- 28:21Speaker 2: them because the blades, you can't bury them because of
- 28:24Speaker 2: the environmental protection. We'll look at that doesn't make sense,
- 28:26Speaker 2: but that's what they say. So we are at the
- 28:29Speaker 2: beginning of a great, beautiful golden age of business. And
- 28:35Speaker 2: I think we're also at a golden age of common
- 28:37Speaker 2: sense because everything I'm saying to you from a simple
- 28:40Speaker 2: water forcet that doesn't allow water to come out appropriately
- 28:45Speaker 2: to all of the other elements of what we do
- 28:49Speaker 2: and what we're going to do to take fifty to
- 28:55Speaker 2: sixty threellion dollars off our country's balance sheet because some
- 28:59Speaker 2: man that has has no idea what he's doing.
- 29:01Speaker 1: It's no idea.
- 29:02Speaker 2: You know it, I know it, The Democrats know it.
- 29:05Speaker 2: What they did is a crime by allowing that to happen.
- 29:09Speaker 2: And I'll bet you if you asked him today, how
- 29:12Speaker 2: much acreage did you submit?
- 29:16Speaker 1: Essentially, did you destroy?
- 29:18Speaker 2: You destroyed the you destroyed the economic viability of drilling
- 29:23Speaker 2: in the ocean. And with AI coming along and all.
- 29:28Speaker 2: You know, a lot of people don't realize that AI
- 29:30Speaker 2: is going to be a big thing. But you'll need
- 29:32Speaker 2: double the electricity.
- 29:33Speaker 1: At least that we have right now.
- 29:35Speaker 2: So right now we produce electricity for many, many different things.
- 29:39Speaker 2: AI is a very big deal in terms of the future.
- 29:43Speaker 2: China is already building electric facilities, big bowld electric facilities,
- 29:49Speaker 2: and you know how they're being fired up with coal.
- 29:51Speaker 2: They're being fired up with coal, and we're going to
- 29:55Speaker 2: build bigger and better ones. People like Hussein that are
- 30:01Speaker 2: doing the same thing as he is. I'll bet they
- 30:03Speaker 2: don't do it as well because I know how he
- 30:05Speaker 2: does it.
- 30:05Speaker 1: But they're doing a lot of things.
- 30:07Speaker 2: The problem is they can't get their permits because I say,
- 30:09Speaker 2: build the plant with the building, so with the structure,
- 30:12Speaker 2: build the plant because you've gone to grids are old.
- 30:15Speaker 2: So they said, that's a great idea. In other words,
- 30:18Speaker 2: build your electric facility alongside of your plant, and you
- 30:22Speaker 2: could have extra output if you want, because once you
- 30:25Speaker 2: build it, you can make it larger pretty inexpensively. You
- 30:27Speaker 2: could have extra output which you'll sell to the public.
- 30:31Speaker 2: But build it with the plant. And people are loving
- 30:34Speaker 2: that idea. So we're going to have a lot of
- 30:37Speaker 2: fun making America great again, and it's going to happen,
- 30:39Speaker 2: I think very very quickly. It's already happened, so I
- 30:43Speaker 2: would say this, and this has been pretty openly reported
- 30:46Speaker 2: by the news. There's never been anything like what's happened
- 30:49Speaker 2: in the list since we won the election. A couple
- 30:52Speaker 2: of months since we won the election. The whole perception
- 30:57Speaker 2: of the whole world is different. People from other countries
- 31:01Speaker 2: have called me, they said, thank you, thank you.
- 31:04Speaker 1: The perception of the whole world is different.
- 31:08Speaker 2: We're going to have to settle some big problems that
- 31:10Speaker 2: are going on right now. We're going to have to
- 31:12Speaker 2: settle up with Russia Ukraine. I said disaster. I look
- 31:15Speaker 2: at numbers every week, the number of people being killed
- 31:18Speaker 2: in that war. People don't know, mostly soldiers now, but
- 31:21Speaker 2: the towns have been obliterated. This was a Biden fiasco
- 31:24Speaker 2: that he could that should have never happened.
- 31:27Speaker 1: If we had a real.
- 31:28Speaker 2: President, if we had a president that knew what he
- 31:30Speaker 2: was doing, Russia would have never ever gone in.
- 31:33Speaker 1: But they did go in, and we have a mess.
- 31:35Speaker 2: The cities are all blown up, the people have largely left,
- 31:39Speaker 2: and the soldiers are killing each other at levels that
- 31:41Speaker 2: haven't been seen since the Second World War. So we'll
- 31:45Speaker 2: have to get that one straight now too. That's a
- 31:46Speaker 2: tough one, much tougher than it would have been before
- 31:49Speaker 2: it started. I can tell you that the deal could
- 31:52Speaker 2: have been made just by an average deal maker. Deal
- 31:55Speaker 2: could have been made in that So thank you all
- 31:57Speaker 2: for coming. We'll take a couple of questions. Yeah, go ahead, please,
- 32:02Speaker 2: thank you.
- 32:03Speaker 5: I wanted to touch on the world on fire that
- 32:06Speaker 5: you mentioned, but let's start, if we could, with your
- 32:10Speaker 5: references to Greenland and the Panama Canal. So what can
- 32:15Speaker 5: you assure the world that as you try to get
- 32:19Speaker 5: control of these areas, you are not going to use
- 32:23Speaker 5: military or economic coercion? No, can you tell us a
- 32:26Speaker 5: little bit about what your plan is.
- 32:29Speaker 2: Are you going to negotiate a new treaty?
- 32:31Speaker 5: Are you going to ask the Canadians to hold the vote?
- 32:35Speaker 1: What is the strategy?
- 32:36Speaker 2: I can't assure you. You're talking about Panama and Greenland. No,
- 32:40Speaker 2: I can't assure you on either of those two, but
- 32:43Speaker 2: I can say this, we need them for economic security.
- 32:47Speaker 2: The Panama Canal was built for our military. I'm not
- 32:52Speaker 2: going to commit to that now. It might it might
- 32:54Speaker 2: be that you'll have to do something. Look, the Panama
- 32:58Speaker 2: Canal is vital to our country. It's being operated by China. China,
- 33:04Speaker 2: and we gave the Panama Canal to Panama. We didn't
- 33:07Speaker 2: give it to China, and they've abused it. They've abused
- 33:10Speaker 2: that gift. It should have never been made. By the way,
- 33:13Speaker 2: giving the Panama Canal is why Jimmy Carter lost the election,
- 33:16Speaker 2: in my opinion, more so maybe than the hostages.
- 33:18Speaker 1: The hostages were a big deal.
- 33:20Speaker 2: But if you remember, and nobody wants to talk about
- 33:23Speaker 2: the Panama Canal now because you know it's inappropriate, I guess,
- 33:26Speaker 2: but because it's a bad part of the Carter legacy.
- 33:30Speaker 2: But he was a good man. Look, he was a
- 33:33Speaker 2: good man. I knew him a little bit and he
- 33:35Speaker 2: was a very fine person. But that was a big mistake.
- 33:37Speaker 2: Giving the Panama Canal to Panama was a very big mistake.
- 33:40Speaker 2: We lost thirty eight thousand people. It cost us the
- 33:44Speaker 2: equivalent of a trillion dollars, maybe more than probably the
- 33:47Speaker 2: most expensive they say it was the most expensive structure
- 33:51Speaker 2: if we call it a structure, which I guess you
- 33:52Speaker 2: can ever built. And giving that away was a horrible thing,
- 33:58Speaker 2: and I believe that's why Jimmy Carter lost the election.
- 34:01Speaker 2: Even more so than the hostage is those two things.
- 34:05Speaker 5: The Ukraine and Iran, the two negotiations. You'll be heading
- 34:09Speaker 5: into Ukraine, you said just before, it's a lot more complicated.
- 34:13Speaker 2: Now much more complicated, do you believe, because it would
- 34:16Speaker 2: have never started, but it has started. It's well not
- 34:19Speaker 2: only started. The cities are largely knocked down.
- 34:22Speaker 1: They're like you've got at this point.
- 34:25Speaker 2: Would you to hold on the.
- 34:27Speaker 5: Leverage in dealing with President Putin? Would you make a
- 34:31Speaker 5: commitment to the Ukrainians that you will keep supporting them.
- 34:34Speaker 1: During the negotiation?
- 34:35Speaker 2: Well, I wouldn't tell you if that were the case.
- 34:37Speaker 5: Make a commitment to provide a security guarantee if they
- 34:40Speaker 5: do enter into an armistice or cease fire along the
- 34:44Speaker 5: lines of the.
- 34:45Speaker 1: French and the Germans.
- 34:47Speaker 2: So you know, a big part of the problem was
- 34:50Speaker 2: Russia for many, many years, long before Putin said you
- 34:53Speaker 2: could never have NATO.
- 34:56Speaker 1: Involved with Ukraine.
- 34:57Speaker 2: Now they've said that that's been like written in stone,
- 35:01Speaker 2: and somewhere along the line Biden said no, they should
- 35:04Speaker 2: be able to join NATO. Well, then Russia has somebody
- 35:06Speaker 2: right in their doorstep, and I could understand their feeling
- 35:09Speaker 2: about that. But there were a lot of mistakes made
- 35:12Speaker 2: in that negotiation. And when I heard the way that
- 35:15Speaker 2: Biden was negotiating, I said, you're gonna end.
- 35:17Speaker 4: Up in a war.
- 35:18Speaker 2: And it turned out to be a very.
- 35:19Speaker 1: Bad war, and it could escalate.
- 35:21Speaker 2: That war could escalate to be much worse than it
- 35:24Speaker 2: is right now.
- 35:27Speaker 1: Well, my view is that it was always understood.
- 35:30Speaker 2: In fact, I believe that they had a deal and
- 35:33Speaker 2: then Biden broke it.
- 35:35Speaker 1: They had a deal.
- 35:36Speaker 2: Which would have been a satisfactory deal to Ukraine and
- 35:38Speaker 2: everybody else, but that Biden said no, you have to
- 35:41Speaker 2: be able to join NATO. And that's always been And
- 35:44Speaker 2: nobody knows more about NATO than I. You know, years ago,
- 35:46Speaker 2: when I first started this, I didn't know too much
- 35:48Speaker 2: about NATO, but I got it right anyway. I said,
- 35:50Speaker 2: they're taking advantage. I'm the one that got in. The
- 35:53Speaker 2: Secretary General was here, as you know, two weeks ago
- 35:56Speaker 2: saying that if it weren't for me, NATO wouldn't even
- 35:59Speaker 2: exist right now because I raised from countries that weren't
- 36:02Speaker 2: paying their bills at that time. Twenty eight countries, twenty
- 36:06Speaker 2: of them were not paying their bills. Twenty one to
- 36:09Speaker 2: be exact, they weren't paying and or they were paying
- 36:12Speaker 2: a very small portion. And I raised over six hundred
- 36:16Speaker 2: and eighty billion dollars. That was the number he gave
- 36:19Speaker 2: by saying, if you don't pay, we're not going to
- 36:21Speaker 2: protect you. And as soon as I said that, the
- 36:24Speaker 2: money came pouring in. But Obama could have said it.
- 36:26Speaker 2: Other people could have said it, Bush could have said it.
- 36:28Speaker 2: Nobody said it but me. I took a lot of heat.
- 36:31Speaker 2: They said, oh, that's a threatening statement. Well, they weren't
- 36:34Speaker 2: paying their bills. I said, we're not going to protect
- 36:36Speaker 2: if you're not paying the bills. So in a true sense,
- 36:40Speaker 2: I saved NATO. But NATO's taken advantage of us. And
- 36:43Speaker 2: one of the problems that I have, and I've said
- 36:45Speaker 2: it openly. I said it to President Zelenski. Europe is
- 36:50Speaker 2: in for a tiny fraction of the money that we're
- 36:52Speaker 2: in now. Whether you like that situation or not, Europe
- 36:57Speaker 2: is much more affected than the United States. We have
- 36:59Speaker 2: the thing called the ocean in between us, right, why
- 37:03Speaker 2: are we in for billions and billions of dollars more money?
- 37:07Speaker 4: Than Europe.
- 37:08Speaker 2: And you know, there are similar size a little smaller,
- 37:10Speaker 2: but there are similar size economies the United States when
- 37:13Speaker 2: you add them up, and yet Europe is in for
- 37:16Speaker 2: a small fraction of the number of the United States
- 37:20Speaker 2: is now. Biden could have called them up during the term.
- 37:22Speaker 2: That's what I did. I said, you have to pay
- 37:24Speaker 2: your bills, and they all one stood up.
- 37:27Speaker 1: I won't say who.
- 37:28Speaker 2: You'll probably have it because the papers to be media
- 37:32Speaker 2: hated to report on it. But a prime minister up
- 37:37Speaker 2: from a country, you know, a famous meeting of twenty
- 37:39Speaker 2: eight nations with no press, know anybody in the room.
- 37:41Speaker 2: He stood up. He says, does that mean if we
- 37:44Speaker 2: don't pay our bill? And at that point it was
- 37:46Speaker 2: two percent. It should be five percent. It should be
- 37:49Speaker 2: five percent, not two percent. But at that point it
- 37:52Speaker 2: was super Many people didn't pay, Some people didn't pay anything,
- 37:55Speaker 2: but many people were await including Germany.
- 37:57Speaker 1: Germany was at less than one percent.
- 38:01Speaker 2: Well, I think NATO should have five percent. Yeah, well
- 38:05Speaker 2: you can't do it too. I mean at two percent
- 38:07Speaker 2: every country, if you're going to have a country in
- 38:09Speaker 2: a regular military, you're at four percent. I think they
- 38:11Speaker 2: should be you know, they're in dangerous territory.
- 38:13Speaker 1: I think you should be.
- 38:14Speaker 2: They can all afford it, but they should be at
- 38:16Speaker 2: five percent, not two percent. I'm the one that got
- 38:19Speaker 2: him to pay two percent. But a gentleman stood up,
- 38:23Speaker 2: A Prime minister stood up, and he said to me, sir,
- 38:25Speaker 2: could I ask you a question. You're saying, we have
- 38:26Speaker 2: to pay our bills. If we don't pay our bills,
- 38:29Speaker 2: will the United States protect us from Russia?
- 38:32Speaker 1: I said, if you don't pay, you mean you're delinquent.
- 38:34Speaker 2: He said yes, he said, if you're delinquent, we will
- 38:37Speaker 2: not protect you. I took a lot of heat, although
- 38:41Speaker 2: with somewhat closed door. I took a lot of heat
- 38:43Speaker 2: from the media. And you know what happened. The money
- 38:45Speaker 2: started pouring in. That's why NATO has money. And the
- 38:49Speaker 2: Secretary General said it was the most incredible thing he
- 38:53Speaker 2: had ever seen in a negotiation. Now, if I would
- 38:57Speaker 2: have said yes, we will, nobody would have paid. I
- 39:00Speaker 2: would have loved to say yes, we'll protect you even
- 39:02Speaker 2: if you don't pay, but that's.
- 39:03Speaker 1: Not the way life works.
- 39:07Speaker 6: Two questions related to each other.
- 39:10Speaker 7: First, you said on your first day of office, you're
- 39:13Speaker 7: going to pardon January sixth, defendants.
- 39:15Speaker 3: Are you planning to pardon those who were charged with
- 39:18Speaker 3: violent offensive?
- 39:19Speaker 2: Well, we're looking at it, and we have other people
- 39:21Speaker 2: in there, and as you see, I guess twenty four
- 39:24Speaker 2: or twenty eight people came now from the FBI that
- 39:27Speaker 2: came out very quietly. Nobody reported it, but they had
- 39:30Speaker 2: people in some form related to the FBI. They had
- 39:33Speaker 2: four or five people that were strongly related to the FBI.
- 39:36Speaker 2: We have to find out about that.
- 39:38Speaker 1: We have to find out about hesbu Lah.
- 39:40Speaker 2: We have to find out about who exactly was in
- 39:43Speaker 2: that whole thing, because people that did some bad things
- 39:46Speaker 2: were not prosecuted.
- 39:47Speaker 1: You know, I see it all the time and you
- 39:49Speaker 1: see it too.
- 39:50Speaker 2: People that were doing some bad things weren't prosecuted, and
- 39:53Speaker 2: people that didn't even walk into the building are in
- 39:56Speaker 2: jail right now. So we'll be looking at the whole thing,
- 39:59Speaker 2: but I'll be making major pardons.
- 40:01Speaker 1: Yes, please.
- 40:03Speaker 6: Please, as it's good to see you again. Two questions
- 40:07Speaker 6: about Syria and the ongoing war in Gozma.
- 40:10Speaker 2: About Syria, the Pentagon.
- 40:11Speaker 6: Disclosed last month the US has some two thousand troops
- 40:15Speaker 6: in Syria. That's almost doubled the number initially we were
- 40:18Speaker 6: told of nine hundred. Will you keep that troop capacity the.
- 40:21Speaker 2: Same upon taking Well, I won't tell you that because
- 40:24Speaker 2: that's part of a military strategy, but I will say
- 40:26Speaker 2: it was Turkey. Turkey's been after that country in different
- 40:31Speaker 2: names and different forms and shapes for two thousand years.
- 40:35Speaker 2: Those people that went in are from Turkey. And President
- 40:40Speaker 2: Erduwan is a friend of mine.
- 40:41Speaker 1: He's a guy I like respect. I think he respects me.
- 40:44Speaker 2: Also, he's the one that didn't go after certain people
- 40:48Speaker 2: after I requested that he not. You know who I'm
- 40:50Speaker 2: talking about, the Kurds. I don't know how long that's
- 40:52Speaker 2: going because their natural enemies, they hate each other.
- 40:56Speaker 1: But he didn't do that yet and he did didn't
- 40:59Speaker 1: do it in the past.
- 41:00Speaker 2: Also, he started and I said, please, don't do that,
- 41:04Speaker 2: and he didn't do it. So, but if you look
- 41:06Speaker 2: at what happened to with Syria, Russia was weakened, Iran
- 41:11Speaker 2: was weakened. And he's a very smart guy, and he
- 41:15Speaker 2: sent his people in there through different forms and different names,
- 41:20Speaker 2: and they went in and they took over.
- 41:21Speaker 1: And that's the way it is.
- 41:23Speaker 2: Do you have con taking control by the way I
- 41:26Speaker 2: have the envoy here is that in the back standing
- 41:33Speaker 2: with my son Eric is Steve Woodcoff who's just got
- 41:36Speaker 2: back from the Middle East, and he's done a fantastic job.
- 41:39Speaker 2: He's a great deal maker. I said, well, we need
- 41:43Speaker 2: there is a deal maker, because nobody makes a deal.
- 41:46Speaker 2: We have people that understand where the rivers are and
- 41:49Speaker 2: where the meats are, bounds and bounds up, but they
- 41:51Speaker 2: can't talk, they can't make deals. Steve's done a great job.
- 41:54Speaker 2: I just want to thank you, Steve. You've been working
- 41:57Speaker 2: endlessly for months and he's working specifically on the hostages.
- 42:02Speaker 2: Trying to get him back. Steve, come up for a second.
- 42:06Speaker 1: Maybe might want to say a couple of words.
- 42:09Speaker 2: I didn't I didn't know see what was going to
- 42:12Speaker 2: be here. Actually, he's done a fantastic job, and it's
- 42:16Speaker 2: a dangerous job too, and we appreciate it. He didn't
- 42:19Speaker 2: know about this kind of danger and the other deal making.
- 42:21Speaker 2: He does now he sees a lot of big danger.
- 42:24Speaker 1: Come on up stairs, just one second.
- 42:29Speaker 2: I'm going to give you a little report on the
- 42:30Speaker 2: hostages if.
- 42:31Speaker 1: I can see.
- 42:33Speaker 2: Thank you very much, Thank you President.
- 42:37Speaker 1: Wow.
- 42:40Speaker 8: Well, I think we're making a lot of progress, and
- 42:43Speaker 8: I don't want to say too much because I think
- 42:47Speaker 8: they're doing a really good job back in Doha. I'm
- 42:49Speaker 8: leaving tomorrow back to go to Doha. But I think
- 42:54Speaker 8: that we've had some really great progress, and I'm really
- 42:59Speaker 8: hopeful that by the inaugural we'll have some good things
- 43:03Speaker 8: to announce on behalf of the president. I actually believe
- 43:06Speaker 8: that we're working in tandem in a really good way.
- 43:10Speaker 8: But it's the president, his reputation, the things that he's
- 43:13Speaker 8: said that he has said that are driving this negotiation,
- 43:17Speaker 8: and so hopefully it'll all work out and we'll save
- 43:21Speaker 8: some lives. I believe we've been on the verge of it.
- 43:29Speaker 8: I don't want to discuss sort of what's delayed, no
- 43:33Speaker 8: point to be to be negative in any way. But
- 43:37Speaker 8: I think it's the president, his stature, what he said,
- 43:41Speaker 8: he expects, the red lines he's put out there, that's
- 43:44Speaker 8: driving this negotiation. I'm going back probably either this evening
- 43:50Speaker 8: or tomorrow night.
- 43:52Speaker 6: It will be a deal before January twentieth.
- 43:54Speaker 2: Row Who's that something that's likely to.
- 43:56Speaker 6: If there's a deal, even at Paul, we've been hearing
- 43:59Speaker 6: this now for that.
- 44:00Speaker 8: Part of I know, I would I would say right,
- 44:05Speaker 8: I would say that the President is exasperated.
- 44:10Speaker 1: I don't want to talk for.
- 44:11Speaker 8: Him, but but look, I don't know anyone who delegates
- 44:14Speaker 8: better than President Trump. He gives us a lot of
- 44:17Speaker 8: authority to speak on his behalf, and he's he exhorts
- 44:21Speaker 8: us to speak emphatically, and emphatically means you better get it.
- 44:25Speaker 2: You better do this because the alternative.
- 44:29Speaker 6: Do you think they're waiting for President Trump to take off?
- 44:32Speaker 1: No, I think they heard him loud and clear.
- 44:34Speaker 8: Better get done by the inaugural.
- 44:36Speaker 2: All hell must be paid. They don't release. Well, do
- 44:43Speaker 2: I have to define it for you? He will break
- 44:45Speaker 2: it If those hostages aren't back. I don't want to
- 44:48Speaker 2: hurt your negotiation. If they're not back by the time
- 44:52Speaker 2: I get into office, all hell will break out in
- 44:55Speaker 2: the Middle East, and it will not be good for
- 44:57Speaker 2: AMAS and it will not be good for for anyone.
- 45:00Speaker 2: All hell will break out. I don't have to say anymore,
- 45:03Speaker 2: but that's what it is. And they should have given
- 45:05Speaker 2: them back a long time. They should have never taken her.
- 45:07Speaker 2: They should have never been the attack of October seventh.
- 45:10Speaker 2: People forget that, but there was, and many people are killed.
- 45:16Speaker 2: They're no longer hostages. I have people from Israel and
- 45:20Speaker 2: others calling begging me to get you know, we had
- 45:23Speaker 2: also people there from the United States, just so you know,
- 45:26Speaker 2: they're holding some so called hostages from the US. But
- 45:31Speaker 2: I've had mothers come to me and fathers crying, can
- 45:35Speaker 2: I get the body of their son back? Can I
- 45:37Speaker 2: get the body of their daughter back? That beautiful girl
- 45:40Speaker 2: where they threw her in the car, pulled her by
- 45:42Speaker 2: her ponytail and threw her in the car like she
- 45:45Speaker 2: was a sack of potatoes. They said, what happened to her, sir?
- 45:47Speaker 2: She's dead like a nineteen twenty year old beautiful girl,
- 45:54Speaker 2: and the way they treated her. And I just say
- 45:56Speaker 2: it this very simply. Steve's got a job to do.
- 46:00Speaker 2: Who's a great guy, great negotiator, a great person. They
- 46:03Speaker 2: respect him over there already.
- 46:04Speaker 1: It's what we needed.
- 46:05Speaker 2: Over there. We have people that know everything about the
- 46:08Speaker 2: Middle East, but they can't speak properly. They don't know
- 46:11Speaker 2: he's a great negotiat That's what I needed. I could
- 46:13Speaker 2: have sent that gentleman right over there who's saying he's
- 46:16Speaker 2: a great negotiator. They are people, They're rare. Great negotiators
- 46:20Speaker 2: are very rare, like a great surgeon but we have
- 46:25Speaker 2: the right person. But I tell this, I don't want
- 46:27Speaker 2: to hurt the negotiation. If the deal isn't done before
- 46:30Speaker 2: I take office, which is now going to be two weeks,
- 46:34Speaker 2: all hell will break out in the Middle East. Thank you,
- 46:38Speaker 2: Thank you.
- 46:38Speaker 1: You've done a great show. Thank you.
- 46:42Speaker 9: More than one hundred and forty police officers were injured
- 46:45Speaker 9: by rioters on January sixth.
- 46:47Speaker 6: Will you pardon anyone who attacks a police officer?
- 46:50Speaker 2: Well, you know, the only one that was killed was
- 46:53Speaker 2: a beautiful young lady named Ashley Babbitt. She was killed,
- 46:58Speaker 2: and there was actually somebody else that was killed, also
- 47:01Speaker 2: a MAGA person. But people don't give it one hundred
- 47:05Speaker 2: percent credibility. I'm going to find out about it. We're
- 47:08Speaker 2: going to find out. But Ashley Babbitt was killed. She
- 47:10Speaker 2: was shot. She had never been shot. She was shot
- 47:16Speaker 2: for no reason whatsoever. In fact, they say that she
- 47:20Speaker 2: was trying to hold back the crowd, and the crowd
- 47:23Speaker 2: was made up of a lot of different people.
- 47:24Speaker 1: So we'll see.
- 47:25Speaker 2: But I will tell you this, the person that was
- 47:29Speaker 2: killed was Ashley Babbitt. The other thing is when they talk,
- 47:33Speaker 2: you know, there was never charges of insurrection or anything
- 47:35Speaker 2: like that. But if there were, this would be the
- 47:38Speaker 2: only insurrection in history where people went in as insurrectionists
- 47:44Speaker 2: with not one gun. Okay, and let me tell you,
- 47:48Speaker 2: the people that you're talking about have a lot of
- 47:49Speaker 2: guns in their home for hunting and for shooting and
- 47:52Speaker 2: for entertainment, lot of good reasons. But there wasn't one
- 47:57Speaker 2: gun that they found. And why didn't they find the bomber,
- 48:01Speaker 2: the pipe bomber? You know they know who the pipe
- 48:03Speaker 2: bomber is. The FBI knows who it is. The status
- 48:07Speaker 2: of the FBI has gone down so far, and the
- 48:11Speaker 2: status of the DOJ or as I call it, the
- 48:13Speaker 2: Department of Justice, it's the Department of injustice.
- 48:17Speaker 1: Being laughed at all over the world.
- 48:19Speaker 2: And hopefully with Pambondian, with Cash Pattel and with other
- 48:24Speaker 2: people that were putting in that.
- 48:25Speaker 1: Will all come back.
- 48:27Speaker 2: If do you do a poll in THEBI, I guarantee
- 48:30Speaker 2: I'm at like ninety percent with the agents of the FBI.
- 48:33Speaker 2: But they have hurt that incredible place law enforcement. I
- 48:40Speaker 2: mean you think of the FBI. They raided this house.
- 48:43Speaker 2: By the way, they could have told me, could I
- 48:46Speaker 2: see this guy? I would have given them. I actually
- 48:48Speaker 2: told them come in any time you want, you could
- 48:51Speaker 2: see anything. They raided the house and the case was dismissed,
- 48:57Speaker 2: and now I'm in litigation. I'm suing them for doing that,
- 49:01Speaker 2: and I feel so badly doing it. I'm the president
- 49:03Speaker 2: of the United States and I'm suing the United States,
- 49:05Speaker 2: but I'm suing them for other things too. The FBI
- 49:10Speaker 2: has gone so its reputation has been so horribly hurt.
- 49:15Speaker 2: Between Komi, who is the worst, and all of the others.
- 49:20Speaker 2: What's happened to the FBI is and We're going to
- 49:22Speaker 2: make it great again. We're going to make the FBI
- 49:23Speaker 2: great again. We're going to make the Department of Justice
- 49:26Speaker 2: fair and strong, but fair again because all they did
- 49:30Speaker 2: was attack me because I'm their political opponent. And that
- 49:33Speaker 2: includes with local judges like Marshawn. You're to find out
- 49:37Speaker 2: why do I ask them? Why do I have a gag.
- 49:39Speaker 1: Order where I'm not allowed to speak? Think of it.
- 49:42Speaker 2: I'm the President of the United States and I'm not
- 49:45Speaker 2: allowed to speak. Why Because if I did speak, people
- 49:50Speaker 2: would understand the scam.
- 49:52Speaker 1: It's a scam.
- 49:54Speaker 2: And we have very dishonest judges and New York judges
- 49:57Speaker 2: very bad. We had one that valued this house at
- 49:59Speaker 2: eighteen million dollars because it.
- 50:00Speaker 1: Was good for that case.
- 50:01Speaker 2: He actually valued that that chandeliers worth more than eighteen
- 50:04Speaker 2: million dollars. He valued this house as eighteen million dollars.
- 50:10Speaker 2: And we have another one who was so nasty, so horrible,
- 50:15Speaker 2: such a brute, most vicious, vile person. These are New
- 50:20Speaker 2: York judges, but we've won most of the cases, so
- 50:23Speaker 2: we're very happy about that.
- 50:25Speaker 3: Lish driver nuit for the d actions to draw plans,
- 50:32Speaker 3: and can you elaborate again? You didn't rule out military
- 50:35Speaker 3: forgeon and well, we.
- 50:37Speaker 1: Need Greenland for national security purposes.
- 50:40Speaker 2: I've been told that for a long time, long before
- 50:43Speaker 2: I even ran. I mean, people have been talking about
- 50:45Speaker 2: it for a long time. You have approximately forty five
- 50:48Speaker 2: thousand people there. People really don't even know if Denmark
- 50:52Speaker 2: has an illegal right to it, but if they do,
- 50:55Speaker 2: they should give it up because we needed for national security.
- 50:58Speaker 1: That's for the free world.
- 50:59Speaker 2: I'm talking about protecting the free world. You look at
- 51:02Speaker 2: you don't even need binoculars. You look outside. You have
- 51:06Speaker 2: China ships all over the place. You have Russian ships
- 51:10Speaker 2: all over the place. We're not letting that happen. We're
- 51:14Speaker 2: not letting it happen and if Denmark wants to get
- 51:19Speaker 2: to a conclusion, but nobody knows if they even have
- 51:21Speaker 2: any right, title or interest. The people are going to
- 51:23Speaker 2: probably vote for independence or to come into the United States.
- 51:27Speaker 2: But if they did, if they did do that, then
- 51:29Speaker 2: I would tear iff Denmark at a very high level
- 51:33Speaker 2: acquisition are acting not at that stage, but we have
- 51:37Speaker 2: people I haven't even entered office.
- 51:38Speaker 3: Yet, criticism and while of attention for some of his
- 51:44Speaker 3: actions and proof the statements about foreign fairs, including in Europe.
- 51:50Speaker 3: Your reaction to that is that appropriate for you?
- 51:52Speaker 2: Mean where he likes people that were that tended to
- 51:54Speaker 2: be conservative. I don't know the people. I can say
- 51:58Speaker 2: Elon's doing a good job, very smart guy. I don't
- 52:00Speaker 2: know the people you're talking about he was. I know
- 52:03Speaker 2: he said some negative things about a couple of people
- 52:06Speaker 2: that are running for office, but it's not so unusual.
- 52:08Speaker 1: Yes, please, I want to ask you about about Ukraine
- 52:13Speaker 1: and Putin.
- 52:14Speaker 3: How soon do you anticipate going to meet with Putin
- 52:19Speaker 3: to discuss the Ukraine situation.
- 52:21Speaker 2: Well, I can't tell you that, but I know that
- 52:22Speaker 2: Putin would like to meet. I don't think it's appropriate
- 52:25Speaker 2: that I meet until after the twentieth, which I hate
- 52:28Speaker 2: because you know, every day people are being many, many
- 52:30Speaker 2: young people are being killed soldiers. You know, the land
- 52:34Speaker 2: is very flat, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers from
- 52:39Speaker 2: each many hundreds of thousands from each side are dead,
- 52:42Speaker 2: and they're laying in fields all over the place. Nobody's
- 52:46Speaker 2: even collect the land mines all over. It's a disaster.
- 52:50Speaker 2: But it's very flat. It's great, it's farm land, and
- 52:52Speaker 2: it's very very flat. And the only thing that stops
- 52:54Speaker 2: a bullet is the human body, and the human body
- 52:58Speaker 2: is stopping a lot of bullets.
- 53:02Speaker 9: Within the hope.
- 53:03Speaker 2: I hope, I hope to have six months. No, I
- 53:08Speaker 2: would think I hope long before six months. Look, Russia
- 53:11Speaker 2: is losing a lot of young people, and so is Ukraine,
- 53:16Speaker 2: and it should have never been started. That's a war
- 53:18Speaker 2: that should have never happened. I guarantee you if I
- 53:20Speaker 2: were president, that war would have never happened. Replaced Michael
- 53:28Speaker 2: lah as vice chair. I'll be announcing so Muny, you
- 53:35Speaker 2: were working under.
- 53:36Speaker 7: The assumption that you're serious about making Canada fifty first
- 53:39Speaker 7: state of the United States. The leader of the Conservative
- 53:42Speaker 7: Party in Canada said under no circumstances.
- 53:46Speaker 2: Maybe he won't win, but maybe he will.
- 53:49Speaker 7: Would suggest, listen, you're considering military force to acquire Panama
- 53:56Speaker 7: in Greenland. Are you also considering a military force to.
- 54:00Speaker 2: No economic force, because Canada and the United States.
- 54:06Speaker 1: That would really be something.
- 54:08Speaker 2: You get rid of that artificially drawn line, and you
- 54:11Speaker 2: take a look at what that looks like, and it
- 54:13Speaker 2: would also be much better for national security. You don't forget.
- 54:16Speaker 2: We basically protect Canada. But here's the problem with Canada.
- 54:20Speaker 2: So many friends up there. I love the Canadian people,
- 54:25Speaker 2: they're great, but we're spending hundreds of billions a year
- 54:29Speaker 2: to protect it. We're spending hundreds of billions a year
- 54:32Speaker 2: to take care of Canada. We lose in trade deficits.
- 54:36Speaker 2: We're losing. We don't need their cars. You know, they
- 54:38Speaker 2: make twenty percent of our cars. We don't need it.
- 54:40Speaker 2: I'd rather make them in Detroit. We don't need the cars.
- 54:44Speaker 2: We don't need their lumber. We have massive fields of lumber.
- 54:47Speaker 2: We don't need their lumber. We have to unrestrict them
- 54:50Speaker 2: because stupid people put you know, restrictions on But I
- 54:53Speaker 2: can do that with an executive order. We don't need
- 54:56Speaker 2: anything they have. We don't need their dairy products. We
- 54:59Speaker 2: have more than they have. We don't need anything. So
- 55:01Speaker 2: why are we losing two hundred billion dollars a year
- 55:04Speaker 2: and more to protect Canada? And I said that to
- 55:09Speaker 2: as I called them Governor Trudeau. I said, listen, what
- 55:12Speaker 2: would happen if we didn't subsidize you? If we didn't
- 55:15Speaker 2: because we give them a lot of money. We help them.
- 55:17Speaker 2: As an example, we're buying icebreakers and Canada wants to
- 55:21Speaker 2: join us in the buying of icebreakers. I said, you know,
- 55:23Speaker 2: we don't really want to have a partner and the
- 55:26Speaker 2: buying of icebreakers, we don't need a partner.
- 55:29Speaker 1: But I no, right, nope, no right, here's what we have.
- 55:35Speaker 2: We have a right not to help them with their
- 55:38Speaker 2: financial difficulties because we are thirty six trillion dollars. We're
- 55:41Speaker 2: going to start knocking it out pretty fast. But we're
- 55:43Speaker 2: going to be able to do it because of energy
- 55:45Speaker 2: and other things. But no, no, right, no, no.
- 55:49Speaker 1: No right.
- 55:50Speaker 2: But why are we supporting a country two hundred billion
- 55:56Speaker 2: plus a year? Our military is at their disposed all
- 56:00Speaker 2: of these other things.
- 56:01Speaker 1: They should be a state.
- 56:03Speaker 2: That's why I told Trudeau.
- 56:04Speaker 1: When he came down.
- 56:04Speaker 2: I said, what would happen if we didn't do it?
- 56:07Speaker 2: He said, Canada would dissolve. Canada wouldn't be able to
- 56:11Speaker 2: function if we didn't take their twenty percent of our
- 56:13Speaker 2: car up market. You know, we again, they send us
- 56:17Speaker 2: hundreds of thousands of cars. They make a lot of
- 56:19Speaker 2: money with that. They send us a lot of other
- 56:21Speaker 2: things that we don't need. We don't need their cars,
- 56:23Speaker 2: and we don't need the other products. We don't need
- 56:25Speaker 2: their milk. We got a lot of milk, We got
- 56:28Speaker 2: a lot of everything, and we don't need any of it.
- 56:31Speaker 2: So I said to him, well, why are we doing it?
- 56:34Speaker 2: He said, I don't really know. He was unable to
- 56:36Speaker 2: answer the question, but I can answer it. We're doing
- 56:38Speaker 2: it because of habit, and we're doing it because we
- 56:41Speaker 2: like our neighbors and we've been good neighbors.
- 56:44Speaker 1: But we can't do it forever.
- 56:45Speaker 2: And it's a tremendous amount of money, And why should
- 56:49Speaker 2: we have a two hundred billion dollar deficit? And add
- 56:52Speaker 2: on to that many many other things that we give
- 56:54Speaker 2: them in terms of subsidy. And I said, that's okay
- 56:57Speaker 2: to have if you're a state, but if you're another country,
- 57:01Speaker 2: we don't want to have it. We're not going to
- 57:02Speaker 2: have it with European Union either. European Union, we have
- 57:05Speaker 2: a trade deficit of three hundred and fifty billion dollars.
- 57:10Speaker 2: They don't take our cars, they don't take our farm product,
- 57:13Speaker 2: they don't take anything, and so we're not going to
- 57:17Speaker 2: have it with them either.
- 57:19Speaker 1: Brian, go ahead, Yes, Happy new Year. By the way,
- 57:22Speaker 1: thank you.
- 57:22Speaker 2: We have some breaking news.
- 57:23Speaker 8: You may not be aware of this, but it looks
- 57:25Speaker 8: like Cannon has blocked the DOJ from releasing this Smiths
- 57:29Speaker 8: report until further core proceedings.
- 57:31Speaker 1: Get your thoughts about that.
- 57:32Speaker 2: That's a big story. Yeah, so if I get it right,
- 57:37Speaker 2: the fake witch hunt started by the DOJ having to
- 57:44Speaker 2: do with books and records, and Biden had many more
- 57:47Speaker 2: and he wasn't protected by the Presidential Records Act. I was,
- 57:51Speaker 2: but all of that fake stuff that took the lives
- 57:54Speaker 2: of people, I mean literally destroyed people. People are destroyed
- 57:58Speaker 2: because of what they did. Droid, but we got to
- 58:02Speaker 2: be president. But Biden did it for forty years. He
- 58:08Speaker 2: did it when he was a senator. That was illegal,
- 58:10Speaker 2: and they ruled it was illegal. How about that they
- 58:13Speaker 2: said it's illegal, But he's unfit to stand trial, so
- 58:17Speaker 2: he can stand and be president of the United States,
- 58:21Speaker 2: but the prosecutor found that he's unfit for trial. I
- 58:24Speaker 2: was going to use that as a major talking point,
- 58:26Speaker 2: but I never got to use it because all of
- 58:28Speaker 2: a sudden, I had a new candidate who was also
- 58:30Speaker 2: sort of unfit to stand trial.
- 58:32Speaker 1: Right.
- 58:33Speaker 2: But so what you're saying is that the judge just
- 58:37Speaker 2: blocked the cannon, was thrown off the case. They dropped
- 58:43Speaker 2: their appeal because he had no case. They dropped all
- 58:46Speaker 2: of that. The lawsuits against us, they lost the lawsuit.
- 58:51Speaker 2: So this is Derange jacksbith So he dropped the lawsuits
- 58:58Speaker 2: he was told to by the DJ because no lawsuit.
- 59:00Speaker 2: They lost in court in front of a very strong
- 59:05Speaker 2: and a very brilliant judge. They lost in court, and
- 59:08Speaker 2: that pertained to other cases in other courts. So he
- 59:11Speaker 2: wanted to do a report just before I take office, probably,
- 59:16Speaker 2: so he'll do like a five hundred page report and
- 59:19Speaker 2: it'll be a fake report, just like the investigation was
- 59:22Speaker 2: a fake investigation. And I said, well, wait a minute,
- 59:25Speaker 2: this guy was thrown off in disgrace. In disgrace, he's
- 59:28Speaker 2: gone back to the Hagar wherever they're going to send
- 59:30Speaker 2: him in disgrace because he failed so badly, because it
- 59:35Speaker 2: was a fake case against a political opponent. They thought
- 59:38Speaker 2: they were going to use this to beat me. So
- 59:41Speaker 2: what you're saying is they and I'm just hearing that
- 59:44Speaker 2: that they're not allowed to issue the report. So if
- 59:46Speaker 2: they're not allowed to issue the report, that's the way
- 59:48Speaker 2: it should be. Because he was thrown off the case
- 59:51Speaker 2: in disgrace, why should he be allowed to write a
- 59:53Speaker 2: fake report. It'll only be a fake report. That's great
- 59:56Speaker 2: new it's good.
- 1:00:01Speaker 3: Many Americans are angry that we're sending millions of dollars
- 1:00:04Speaker 3: every month to the Taliban.
- 1:00:07Speaker 2: Do you anticipate it's not even believable. Billions of dollars,
- 1:00:11Speaker 2: not millions billions. We pay billions of dollars to essentially
- 1:00:15Speaker 2: the Taliban Afghanistan. And that's given by Biden. That's the
- 1:00:19Speaker 2: same man that took away fifty to sixty three million
- 1:00:22Speaker 2: dollars worth of value from the United States. They could
- 1:00:25Speaker 2: probably our most valuable asset, took away our most valuable asset.
- 1:00:30Speaker 2: This can't be allowed to happen. We are now a
- 1:00:33Speaker 2: nation of common sense. When he does that, six hundred
- 1:00:37Speaker 2: and twenty five million acres. This can't be allowed to happen.
- 1:00:41Speaker 2: I'm thank you for the information. Most other people probably
- 1:00:45Speaker 2: knew about it, but they wouldn't have told me. Right trail,
- 1:00:48Speaker 2: you vowed.
- 1:00:49Speaker 7: To bring down the prices that grocery store is very fast.
- 1:00:52Speaker 2: Yeah, will do told time again.
- 1:00:54Speaker 5: End up, bringing down prices would be very hard.
- 1:00:57Speaker 2: So what can't the American people expect when you get
- 1:00:59Speaker 2: into offices. It's hard to bring down prices when somebody
- 1:01:01Speaker 2: else has screwed something up like they did. But we'll
- 1:01:03Speaker 2: bring them down. We'll get them down. Energy is gonna
- 1:01:06Speaker 2: bring down prices. We're gonna have a lot of energy,
- 1:01:08Speaker 2: and energy is what brought it up. Energy and their
- 1:01:11Speaker 2: bad spending is what brought it up, and energy is
- 1:01:14Speaker 2: gonna bring it down.
- 1:01:15Speaker 1: We're gonna have prices down.
- 1:01:16Speaker 2: I think you're gonna see some pretty drastic price reductions.
- 1:01:20Speaker 2: As an example, food, bacon, ham, apples, everything has gone
- 1:01:27Speaker 2: through the roof. It's one of the reasons I want,
- 1:01:30Speaker 2: so as you know, I said it, inflation was one
- 1:01:32Speaker 2: of the reasons I want. But I think the biggest
- 1:01:34Speaker 2: reason I won was the fact that they are allowing
- 1:01:38Speaker 2: prisoners to come into our country. They released their prisoners,
- 1:01:42Speaker 2: their murderers. Thousands of murderers are now walking around the
- 1:01:46Speaker 2: streets of our cities and farmland all over, murders, people
- 1:01:50Speaker 2: that have killed many thirty two percent of killed more
- 1:01:53Speaker 2: than one person. They released them from their jails, their prisons,
- 1:01:57Speaker 2: and their mental institutions, and insaness into our country. I
- 1:02:02Speaker 2: believe that's the reason we got such a large vote.
- 1:02:05Speaker 2: Maybe one or two more questions, Yeah, please go go ahead?
- 1:02:09Speaker 1: Can we you go?
- 1:02:10Speaker 2: Can you?
- 1:02:12Speaker 9: President Carter is laying in state today in Washington.
- 1:02:15Speaker 5: He has a harsh words to him about the Panama Canal.
- 1:02:17Speaker 5: Is there any disconnect there?
- 1:02:19Speaker 3: You feel a little bit bad about doing that?
- 1:02:20Speaker 5: On the thing?
- 1:02:21Speaker 2: Now, I look, I liked him as a man. I
- 1:02:23Speaker 2: disagreed with his policy, so he thought giving away the
- 1:02:26Speaker 2: Panama Canal was a good thing. I think it cost
- 1:02:28Speaker 2: him the election that in the hostages. I actually think
- 1:02:31Speaker 2: that was a bigger factor, because that's a deal that
- 1:02:34Speaker 2: just should not have been made. But again, this was
- 1:02:37Speaker 2: a question that was asked of me. I didn't bring
- 1:02:39Speaker 2: it up.
- 1:02:39Speaker 1: I didn't want to bring up the Panama Canal.
- 1:02:42Speaker 2: Because of Jimmy Carter's death but people don't bring it up,
- 1:02:46Speaker 2: but you know you and other people have asked me
- 1:02:48Speaker 2: about it. No, it's a deal that I was very
- 1:02:50Speaker 2: strongly against. I was a young guy when this took place.
- 1:02:53Speaker 2: But just why would we spend all of that money
- 1:02:57Speaker 2: lose thirty eight thousand people to malaria? They were dying.
- 1:03:02Speaker 2: It was horrible what was happening. They paid them four
- 1:03:05Speaker 2: times more than they would make in the United States,
- 1:03:07Speaker 2: but they know they were going to go over there
- 1:03:10Speaker 2: and die, and they died in the jungles of malaria.
- 1:03:13Speaker 2: There was nothing we could do to stop at thirty
- 1:03:15Speaker 2: eight times, and then we gave it away for one dollar.
- 1:03:21Speaker 9: When years joined it from Congress. You appear to open
- 1:03:23Speaker 9: the door in your radio interview yesterday for a two
- 1:03:26Speaker 9: bill approaches. It's still your preference for one big beautiful bill,
- 1:03:29Speaker 9: as you have said.
- 1:03:30Speaker 2: Well, I like one big beautiful bill, and I always have,
- 1:03:33Speaker 2: I always will. But if if two is more certain,
- 1:03:36Speaker 2: it does go a little bit quicker because you can
- 1:03:38Speaker 2: do the immigration stuff early. Now you have to understand
- 1:03:41Speaker 2: for immigration and for the wall. We won the case
- 1:03:43Speaker 2: on the wall. You know, they tried to sell the
- 1:03:45Speaker 2: wall for five cents on the dollar. By the way,
- 1:03:48Speaker 2: and we had fortunately a judge that stopped that. But
- 1:03:52Speaker 2: they were already discarding the wall and five cents in
- 1:03:55Speaker 2: the dollar. And you know what they were doing. They
- 1:03:57Speaker 2: were calling us up and saying, well, well it back
- 1:04:00Speaker 2: to you a two hundred cents, in other words, double
- 1:04:03Speaker 2: what we paid for it. So they were going to
- 1:04:05Speaker 2: buy it from this guy for five cents in the dollar.
- 1:04:08Speaker 2: They were making deals. Unfortunately, we had a very smart
- 1:04:11Speaker 2: judge that stopped it cold. I think he called for
- 1:04:14Speaker 2: an investigation too, and he should. But think of it.
- 1:04:18Speaker 2: They were selling the wall that was exactly the wall
- 1:04:21Speaker 2: that the Border Patrol wanted, that was designed by them,
- 1:04:25Speaker 2: steel concrete, rebar exactly as it went. Very very heavy steel,
- 1:04:30Speaker 2: very powerful steel, hard to cut, very very heavy, seven
- 1:04:35Speaker 2: pound concrete which is a very strong concrete. Everything was
- 1:04:39Speaker 2: top of the line, very expensive. Would be double what
- 1:04:41Speaker 2: we paid for it then six years ago. But let
- 1:04:45Speaker 2: me just tell you, they were selling it for five
- 1:04:48Speaker 2: cents on the dollar to people, and those people were
- 1:04:52Speaker 2: calling us asking us to pay them two hundred cents
- 1:04:55Speaker 2: because it's a good deal because we could have it immediately,
- 1:04:59Speaker 2: and you know what immediate is just leave it in place. No, No,
- 1:05:04Speaker 2: the papers haven't written that though. That deal is like
- 1:05:09Speaker 2: all the other things that these people doing, these people
- 1:05:13Speaker 2: either hate our country or they're very stupid. And I
- 1:05:16Speaker 2: don't believe they're stupid, because nobody can cheat on elections
- 1:05:19Speaker 2: like they cheat and be stupid. They either hate our
- 1:05:22Speaker 2: country or they're stupid. So remember what I said, because
- 1:05:25Speaker 2: nobody wants to report it. They were selling the wall
- 1:05:27Speaker 2: for five cents on the dollar and trying to resell
- 1:05:31Speaker 2: it back to us for two hundred cents or less.
- 1:05:34Speaker 2: But for two hundred cents on the dollar, that's a
- 1:05:38Speaker 2: that's a nice return.
- 1:05:40Speaker 9: Stopputting fact checks on the post on its website, and
- 1:05:46Speaker 9: Meta said today it was not putting the fact checks
- 1:05:49Speaker 9: on its website and inste allowed community.
- 1:05:52Speaker 2: I watched their news conference, and I thought it was
- 1:05:55Speaker 2: a very good news conference. I think they've honestly, I
- 1:05:57Speaker 2: think they've come a long way. Meta face Book, I
- 1:06:00Speaker 2: think they've come a long way. I watched it. The
- 1:06:02Speaker 2: man was very impressive. I watched it. Actually I watched
- 1:06:04Speaker 2: it on Fox.
- 1:06:05Speaker 1: I'm not allowed to say that. Say it.
- 1:06:07Speaker 5: Do you think he's directly responding to the threats that
- 1:06:10Speaker 5: you have made to him?
- 1:06:10Speaker 1: In the past, probably probably.
- 1:06:14Speaker 6: The last time we were The last time you were here,
- 1:06:17Speaker 6: you were asked a question about the US possibly launching
- 1:06:20Speaker 6: a preemptive strike on around You said you wouldn't answer
- 1:06:23Speaker 6: U A Iran the US launching a preemptive strike on
- 1:06:27Speaker 6: the Rounds nuclear facilities, And I said.
- 1:06:29Speaker 2: I don't, I don't talk about it. It's a military strategy.
- 1:06:33Speaker 2: Is a legitimate question. Nothing, Well, it's not really, because
- 1:06:36Speaker 2: only a stupid person would answer it. Look, it's a
- 1:06:39Speaker 2: military strategy, and I'm not answering your questions on military strategy.
- 1:06:43Speaker 2: All right, one more, Brian, go ahead. Could you give
- 1:06:46Speaker 2: us a preview.
- 1:06:47Speaker 5: Of what you might be talking to the leaders of
- 1:06:49Speaker 5: Congress You expected to come here in the.
- 1:06:51Speaker 2: Next couple of days, and you've got a very supportive
- 1:06:54Speaker 2: Congress behind you. They're great. So we have a wonderful
- 1:06:58Speaker 2: Republican Congress. We have a leader that I have a
- 1:07:01Speaker 2: lot of confidence and I think is going to be
- 1:07:03Speaker 2: hopefully a great leader, a great speaker. And we have
- 1:07:06Speaker 2: a leader, by the way, and the Senate I think
- 1:07:09Speaker 2: has been great, John Thune has been doing a fantastic job.
- 1:07:12Speaker 2: But it goes through the House first, and the question
- 1:07:15Speaker 2: is whether or not we do the two bills of
- 1:07:16Speaker 2: one bill. And you know, look, I can live either way.
- 1:07:19Speaker 2: I like the idea of the one big bill, but
- 1:07:21Speaker 2: I can live either way. But they'll be coming down.
- 1:07:24Speaker 2: The Senators also will be coming down, and then ultimately
- 1:07:27Speaker 2: we'll be meeting in the White House in a few weeks.
- 1:07:29Speaker 2: But right now, this is the winter season. You know,
- 1:07:31Speaker 2: they sort of call this the winter White House. It
- 1:07:34Speaker 2: was built. I don't know if you know this, Marjorie
- 1:07:36Speaker 2: Merrow or the Post and E. F.
- 1:07:37Speaker 1: Hutton built this.
- 1:07:38Speaker 2: It was the greatest of all the estates in our country.
- 1:07:41Speaker 2: And I saved it, and I got a lot of
- 1:07:42Speaker 2: credit for saving it. Most of these big great houses
- 1:07:45Speaker 2: have been knocked down in Palm Beach, just about all
- 1:07:48Speaker 2: of them actually, And you know, you've built ten mansions
- 1:07:50Speaker 2: on one side. But we saved it. But this was
- 1:07:53Speaker 2: built as the Southern White House. And she gave it
- 1:07:55Speaker 2: to the government. And by the way, Jimmy Carter gave
- 1:07:59Speaker 2: it back. He said it's too expensive for the United States.
- 1:08:02Speaker 2: So I didn't I didn't realize that.
- 1:08:04Speaker 1: I was just told.
- 1:08:06Speaker 2: Actually Jimmy Carter Nixon was through Watergate. He came down,
- 1:08:09Speaker 2: he Nixon came here once and he thought it was incredible,
- 1:08:12Speaker 2: but he had a thing called Watergate, if anybody remembers that,
- 1:08:16Speaker 2: and so he had other things on his mind to
- 1:08:19Speaker 2: put it mildly, and Jimmy Carter felt that it was
- 1:08:23Speaker 2: too extravagant for the country. So fortunately for me, he
- 1:08:27Speaker 2: gave it back to the Foundation, and I brought it
- 1:08:29Speaker 2: from the Foundation.
- 1:08:33Speaker 3: Some Republicans saying in trade for a massive building that
- 1:08:37Speaker 3: you and they shared the interest in they want to
- 1:08:39Speaker 3: see big spending cuts.
- 1:08:41Speaker 9: Do you agree with that?
- 1:08:42Speaker 3: And what well?
- 1:08:42Speaker 2: I'm okay with spending cuts. I like spending cuts, just
- 1:08:45Speaker 2: I'm on the record for spending cuts. And the death
- 1:08:47Speaker 2: ceiling was given to us. It shouldn't have been, but
- 1:08:49Speaker 2: it was put in our lap. And what I want
- 1:08:52Speaker 2: in terms of death ceiling isn't the ceiling.
- 1:08:55Speaker 1: I just don't want to see a default.
- 1:08:57Speaker 2: That's all I want. I never talked about ending more
- 1:09:00Speaker 2: money necessarily than all I want to see is no default,
- 1:09:05Speaker 2: because nobody knows what would happened if.
- 1:09:06Speaker 1: There was a default.
- 1:09:08Speaker 2: It could be nineteen twenty nine and it could be nothing.
- 1:09:12Speaker 2: But that was put into our lap and it.
- 1:09:14Speaker 1: Shouldn't have been.
- 1:09:15Speaker 2: But it was, and so we'll handle it. But debt
- 1:09:18Speaker 2: ceiling is not about raising a lot of money, It's
- 1:09:20Speaker 2: really just about extending it.
- 1:09:22Speaker 1: I just want to see an extension.
- 1:09:27Speaker 2: On immigration.
- 1:09:29Speaker 3: How much can you do by an executive order? Are
- 1:09:32Speaker 3: you planning to do on executive order when it comes
- 1:09:34Speaker 3: to immigration? And how much do you want Congress to
- 1:09:37Speaker 3: tackle this issue?
- 1:09:38Speaker 2: And also on date one the safest border in the
- 1:09:42Speaker 2: history of our country by far.
- 1:09:43Speaker 1: You remember the famous.
- 1:09:44Speaker 2: Chart that I brought down. I love that chart very
- 1:09:47Speaker 2: much for a lot of reasons. But I have the
- 1:09:49Speaker 2: safest border by far in the history of our country.
- 1:09:52Speaker 2: And when I took it over, it was a mess,
- 1:09:54Speaker 2: nothing like it is now. This is ten times worse
- 1:09:57Speaker 2: what I got elected because of the board of the
- 1:09:59Speaker 2: first time, and I think I got elected largely.
- 1:10:02Speaker 1: Because of the border. The third time and the second
- 1:10:05Speaker 1: time I did equally well.
- 1:10:06Speaker 2: Well, not as well as the last time, but I
- 1:10:08Speaker 2: did very well. And I will say this was too
- 1:10:10Speaker 2: big to rig, you know, you know the expression too
- 1:10:13Speaker 2: big to rig. They couldn't do it. They tried, but
- 1:10:14Speaker 2: they couldn't do it. I didn't get very much from
- 1:10:19Speaker 2: Congress at all. I just said that we're being invaded,
- 1:10:22Speaker 2: and I took the money out of the military. Much
- 1:10:25Speaker 2: of the wall I built five hundred over five hundred
- 1:10:27Speaker 2: miles a wall. Much of that wall was built through
- 1:10:29Speaker 2: money that I put into the military. We took it
- 1:10:32Speaker 2: out because we couldn't get things from Congress in those days,
- 1:10:35Speaker 2: and we took it out. And that wall was built
- 1:10:38Speaker 2: largely with money coming from the military, so very simple.
- 1:10:42Speaker 2: I went to the military. I said, our country is
- 1:10:45Speaker 2: being invaded by very similar nothing like what's invading our
- 1:10:49Speaker 2: country now. They weren't releasing prisons into our country, and
- 1:10:53Speaker 2: they weren't releasing mental institutions in but some bad dudes
- 1:10:58Speaker 2: were coming in. I said, our country is being invaded.
- 1:11:02Speaker 2: And I took that money largely from the military. I
- 1:11:04Speaker 2: was sued nine times by the Democrats in.
- 1:11:07Speaker 1: Congress, and I won all those suits.
- 1:11:09Speaker 2: And we built five We ended up building five hundred
- 1:11:11Speaker 2: and seventy one miles. Said, well, once that wall was built,
- 1:11:15Speaker 2: they start going around it, so we're going to add
- 1:11:17Speaker 2: another two hundred that would have been up in three weeks.
- 1:11:20Speaker 2: And then we had a very unfortunate election result and
- 1:11:24Speaker 2: they said, we don't want to put it up. We'll
- 1:11:27Speaker 2: sell it and they started selling it for five cents
- 1:11:30Speaker 2: on the dollar. What a say. So we'll do this again.
- 1:11:35Speaker 2: I just want to thank everybody very much. I'm just
- 1:11:37Speaker 2: telling you this will be the golden age of America.
- 1:11:39Speaker 1: This is the golden age of America.
- 1:11:41Speaker 2: We're going to have a great country again. We're a
- 1:11:43Speaker 2: country right now under siege. We have so many different problems,
- 1:11:47Speaker 2: and nobody respects us overseas, but now they do. The
- 1:11:50Speaker 2: Italian Prime Minister, as you know, came here the other night,
- 1:11:53Speaker 2: just flew in and flew out. She wanted to she
- 1:11:56Speaker 2: wanted to see me. And great respect is being shown.
- 1:12:00Speaker 2: When I went to the cathedral in France, great respect
- 1:12:04Speaker 2: was shown by the Prime Minister, the President, by everybody
- 1:12:08Speaker 2: France was and by the way, I have to say,
- 1:12:10Speaker 2: they did a great job in the cathedral. But great
- 1:12:13Speaker 2: respect is being shown to our country again. And we
- 1:12:16Speaker 2: have a great country, but we have to run it properly.
- 1:12:19Speaker 2: It's going to be run properly. We want to get
- 1:12:22Speaker 2: back those hostages for Israel and for us. You know,
- 1:12:26Speaker 2: we do have people that are hostages being held. And
- 1:12:29Speaker 2: I'll just say it again, if this deal is not
- 1:12:31Speaker 2: done with the people representing our nation by the time
- 1:12:35Speaker 2: I get to office, all hell is going to break out.
- 1:12:38Speaker 2: Thank you very much, Thank you push the war before
- 1:12:43Speaker 2: you take office. Can you clarified what you mean.
- 1:12:45Speaker 3: By military force in the Panama?
- 1:12:47Speaker 2: Now there's no way asking for a poltary acts have
- 1:13:02Speaker 2: him saying like anything
