  Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen, the President of the United States, thank you,
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: Thank you very much. That was quite a formal entrance.
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: I thought we were just going to sit down and
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: talk a little bit. We talked about exactly one year
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: ago we had that big, beautiful victory exactly one year
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: and last night. It was not expected to be a victory.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: It was very democrat areas. But I don't think it
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: was good for Republicans. I don't think it was good.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: I'm not sure it was good for anybody. But we
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: had an interesting evening and we learned a lot, and
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: we're going to talk about that and I'll say a
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: few remarks, and then after that I'll ask the press
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: to leave. The press has been very nice to us
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: the last a couple of months. They were great to
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: us in terms of the foreign visits with China, Japan,
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: South Korea, Malaysia, and they were actually terrific. So I
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: want to thank you for that. I'm sure you'll get
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: back to your normal ways soon. But we did a
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: great job over in China, and we've done a great
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: job in turning off wars. We stopped eight wars, eight wars,
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: and we have one to go. As you probably know,
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: and that'll get stopped also. But we've done a great job,
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: so it's really it's really been an honor to do it.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: And I did it with many of the people in
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: this room, every one of you I know, and every
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: one of you I like, I like our leaders, like everybody.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: But I thought we'd have a discussion after the press
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: leaves about what last night represented and what we should
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: do about it, and also about the shutdown and how
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: that relates to last night. I think if you read
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: the posters or the shutdown was a big factor negative
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: for the Republicans, and that was a big factor. And
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: they say that I wasn't on the ballot was the
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: biggest factor, but I don't know about that, but I
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: was honored that they said that. And I just want
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: to thank everybody for being here in a very special
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: thanks the Vice President j D Vans, who's doing a
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: terrific job. JD. Thank you every man, as well as
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: the Senate leadership team that has been working very hard working. Really,
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: I will tell you nobody's working any harder representing the
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: American people, including Senator John Thune, John, thank you, great job.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: Good Senator John Barrosso, John, thank you. Very much. Senator
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: Tom Cotton, wherever you may be, Tom, Thank you, Thank you, Tom.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: Thank you. Senator Shelley Moore Capital, who's been very involved.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: Thank you, Shelley. Senator James Langford from one of my
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: favorite states. Seventy seven out of seventy seven. I always said,
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: seventy seven out of seventy seven. Reagan was fifty six.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: That was the record. We we had every one of them.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: Thank you, James. And a fantastic friend of mine and
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: an incredible advocate during the election a year ago, Tim Scott,
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: Thank you, Tim. Thank It's pure so as you know,
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: we are in the midst of a disastrous Democrat created
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: government shutdown, and it is Democrat created, but I don't
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: think they're getting really the blame that they should. That's
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: now officially the long shut down in American history. The
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: Democrat radicals and the Senative shown zero interest in reopening
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: the government, and I don't think they'll act. See a
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: lot of people disagree. I've been saying for the last
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: thirty days, we've had four or five different points. Yes, sir,
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: they're going to get it right now. We should have
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: it done in a day. I've heard that about four times.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: I heard it after Kings. You know, they said I
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: was a king, and I heard it after Kings. I
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: heard it after a couple of other moments in time,
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: and I said, no, I don't believe so. And now
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: I heard it's after the election. I don't believe so.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: I think they will. I think they're Kamakazi pilots. I
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: just got back from Japan. I talked about the Kamakazi pilots.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: I think these guys are kamakazi. They'll take down the
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: country if they have to, So I don't think so.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: Millions of Americans are going to be without SNAP benefits.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: And I will say about SNAP benefits, so when I
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: was president, we had seven billion dollars worth and now
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: they have many times that because these benefits were given
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: to anybody that asked, and they're up to here, just
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: many times forty seven billion. So it wasn't the purpose
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: of SNAP. It was for people that really had problems,
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: down and out, people that really had problems. But during
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: Biden they gave it to anybody that wanted it. I
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: think it's something you have to talk about because the
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: numbers are incredible, but countless public servants are now not
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: being paid, and the air traffic control system is under
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: increasing strain. We must get the government back open soon
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: and really immediately. We have to get it up. We
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: have the hottest economy we've ever had, and it's affecting
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: the stock market now a little bit. But the stock
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: market as a Friday has hit many record highs during
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: the last nine months, many and it will again. This
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: is just the beginning because when these plants that are
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: being built right now start opening up, We've never had
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: anything like this as a boom. There's a construction boom
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: right now, but that's going to be bigger than that.
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: That's going to be economic boon as soon as they
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: open up, and it's going to be something special. We
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: have car companies coming in. When I was in Japan, Toyota,
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: mister Toyota, I said, what's your name? Toyota? I said, oh,
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: you're rich. I said, how much of the company do
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: you own? Ninety two point one percent. I said, I'm
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: glad you said the one he wants to be. I said,
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: you're a rich guy. And he said, I'm investing ten
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: billion dollars in the US. And you know what I'm
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: talking about. It right you introduced me, mister senator, you
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: introduced me originally when you were the ambassador to Japan.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: He's still good, he's still strong, but he had no
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: interest in investing in this country. Now he's investing ten
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: billion as of one week ago in building new plants.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: We have auto plants coming in incredibly, but we have
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: AI and all of them. And we can't be extorted
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: to give one point five trillion dollars to people that
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: came into the country illegally, many from prisons, many drug dealers,
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: a lot of people came in from mental institutions. They
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: want to give a lot of money to the people
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: that came in illegally. We have to get them out.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: We can't. No country can sustain that. That's not like
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: an attack on our country, and no country. These are
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: not going to be productive people. These are going to
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: be anti productive people. And we can all have big hearts,
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: that have a bigger heart than anybody, but we can't
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: let that happen. It's time for Republicans to do what
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: they have to do, and that's terminate the filibuster. It's
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: the only way you can do it. And if you
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: don't terminate the filibuster, you'll be in bad shape. We
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: won't pass any legislation. There'll be no legislation passed for
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: three in a quarter. We have three and a quarter years,
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: so it's a long time. But when they can't do
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: an extension, and John, I think they've done an extension
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: every single time they've ever been asked forever, this is
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: the first time they haven't done an extension. Extensions are
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: supposed to be easy. But if they won't do an extension,
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: they won't do any bill, even a simple bill. And
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: we should do our own bills. We should get out,
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: We should do our own bills. We should open up.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: We should start tonight with the country's open congratulations. Then
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: we should pass voter ID. We should pass no mail
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: in voting. We should pass all the things that we
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: wanted to pass. Make our elections secure. And say, because
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: California is a disaster, many of the states are disasters.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: But can you imagine when they vote almost unanimously against
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: voter ID. All we want is voter ID. You go
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: to a grocery store, you have to give ID. You
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: go to a gas station, you give ID. But for voting,
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: they want no voter ID. It's only for one reason,
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: because they cheat. We would pass that in fifteen minutes.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: If you don't get it, you'll never pass that. You'll
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: never talk about mail in ballots. Mail in ballots make
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: it automatically corrupt. If you have mail in ballots, automatically,
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: it's correct. Even Jimmy Carter, they had the Carter Commission
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: after he got out of office, and he had a
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: group of very distinguished people, Democrats and Republicans, and they
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: passed they recommended things take place. It was a long
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: time ago, and they said about mail in ballots. If
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: there is mail in ballots, there will definitely be corruption
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: because you know they pass through too many hands. I mean,
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: you go and to vote and they want your card,
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: even me, I went into pump Beach. You go into vote,
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: they want your card. You're this, you're that. They said,
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry to do this, sir, but I have to
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: look at your identification. I said, all right, I love that,
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: and but you know, you're really not going to get
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: away with much. It was very very professional, very good,
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: and the way's supposed to be. But these people don't
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: want that. They have a legislation in California where it's
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: illegal to ask somebody for voter ID if you ask
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: somebody for voter ID, if you're an official and you
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: said I'd like to see your voter ID, they can
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: arrest you. Okay, they can arrest you because they want
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: to cheat and they get away with it, and the
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: Republicans let them get away with it, and we won't
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: do that if we have the Filippus. So I'm just
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: going to we're going to talk about that a little
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: bit and we're going to see if we can sway
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: because I know we have a lot of not a lot.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: I'd say half feel this way, maybe a little bit
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: less than half, and it's time to have a really
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: good talk. If I thought that they weren't going to
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: pass the fellow Us, I wouldn't even bring it up.
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: They're going to pass it within the first hour if
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: they take power, and it's more likely that they take
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: power if we don't do because we're not going to
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: be passing any legislation, not going to approve anything. We're
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: going to go three and a quarter years. There won't
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: be one bill that we're going to pass because the
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: easiest thing to pass is exactly right now what they
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: won't pass. And they'll do that, and they'll recavoc. But
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: let's assume they get in. They're doing it anyway, so
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: it wouldn't matter. They're doing it anyway. And you know,
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: I have a case where I have great US attorneys
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: that can't be approved because of the blue slips. The
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: blue slips. I think you should terminate blue slips too.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: It's a mental termination because it's really a custom. But
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: if you have a Democrat senator or two, two is bad,
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: but it doesn't make any difference if you have one
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: senator writes a negative letter on some great US attorney.
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: We had it in Manhattan's othern district. Jake Clayton, one
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: of the most respected lawyers in the whole country by far,
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: one of the most respected, and couldn't get approved. The
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: courts approved him. The courts couldn't believe it. They did
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: it like instantly. He went to the best schools, got
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: the best marks, top of his class. Everything was perfect.
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: I mean, he was like lit the perfect light. Went
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: to Sullivan and Cromwell almost immediately became the head of
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: Sullivan and Cromwell. You know, the most prestigious law firm,
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: I would say in the country. Just about whether it's
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: Sullivan or two or three I could name, but Sullivan
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: I would say really maybe number one. He was the
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: head of Sullivan and Cromwell for like twenty years. He
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: went to the SEC, was flawless. He did it for me,
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: he was the SEC chairman. He was flawless. Then he
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: went to Apollo where he was the chairman of Apollo
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: and was flawless. Everything went good, the stock went through
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: the roof and everything. I asked him to go to
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: the Southern District and he said, oh, do what you'd
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: like to do, sir. This is a very high quality person.
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: But he couldn't get approval from Schumer. Humor didn't approve them.
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: The best student, the best schools, but everything is like flawless,
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: and the courts actually said, you're not approving Jay Clayton, right,
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: Lindsay you heard this. The courts actually interceded and they
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: approved him. But that's an unusual guy. We have other
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: people that are really good, but people don't know how good.
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: Top students, top top colleges, and their US attorneys, and
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: they won't be approved. They're not going to be approved.
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: We have one in the Los Angeles who's phenomenal, but
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: no the Senators that the Democrats are you know again
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: the kamikazes. The Democrats are not going to approve them.
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: Blue slips are a disaster. So the only people I
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: can get approved are Democrats. I was told that by
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: the Democrats, will only approve Democrats. They said, really, is
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: that right? Not going to work that way, Not going
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: to work that way with me. But the blue slips
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: are a total disaster. Will I have ten people right
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: now that will not be that are doing a phenomenal job,
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: and they will be out of office pretty soon. They've
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: got another two three weeks a couple of them, and
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: then they're going to have to leave. And it's actually
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: a blight on their record because you know, nobody knows
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: why they live, but it looks like they served eight
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: weeks and then they had to leave. But they're not
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: going to get the approval because the Democrat radical left
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: lunatic senators are saying, you can't, we're not going to
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: approve you. And if we're not going to approve you,
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: I had actually one Republican who got two great letters,
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: but it turned out that he was a rhino, but
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: that was a nice term for him. Now he got
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: two letters of approval, and when I said, two Democrats
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: approved him. I had to fire him because I figured
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: if two Democrats approved him, they wrote the most beautiful letters.
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: I found out, Man, this is strange and he was
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: no good I fired him. He was really not much
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: of a Republican. The recommendation of that one wasn't such
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: a good record nation. Someday I'll tell you who recommended him,
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: But it wasn't exactly the best. But when I saw too,
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: you know, when I saw the two senators from Virginia
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: gave him blowing marks, tim, I said, let me see this.
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: I read the most beautiful letters I've ever seen, I said.
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: I called him up. I said, sorry, you're fired. Get
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: the hell out of here. But it's a horrible thing.
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: Blue slips is a horrible thing because I have the
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: right to pick judges, and I have the right to
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: pick US attorneys, and this takes away the right from me.
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: And I think we're going to go to court on it,
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: and you know, we'll see what happens in court. But
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: it gives the president. It takes away the right of
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: the president to pick people to serve on the court
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: and to serve as US attorneys, which is very important.
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: But the biggest thing is the filibuster. We have to
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: get the country going. We will pass legislation at levels
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: you've never seen before, and it'll be impossible to beat us,
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: by the way if they do. They're going to do
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: it anyway, and they are going to immediately do the filibuster.
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: And when they do the Philip they're going to pack
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: the court. They want five at least five now I
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: hear it's up to five. I actually heard up to
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: seven and up to nine. Okay, they want new judges.
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: They want to pack the court. And they will do
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: it the first day, maybe the week. Maybe they'll slow
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: it down because there's no reason to rush, but they'll
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: do it first week. They'll vote on this. And I
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: have friends over there that are Democrats, very I'm close
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: to a lot of people, and I asked them about
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: that because some people say, well, maybe they won't do that.
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: I mean, they destroyed the career of Mansion and Cinema.
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: And they got them out. They were the only objectors.
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: Nobody else is going to object. They're going to do
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: it the first day. They're going to pack the court.
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: They're going to make DC a state, and they're going
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: to make Puerto Rico estate. So now they pick up
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: two states, they pick up four senators. Okay, you think
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: you have problems. They're going to do all of the things,
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: they're going to pick up electoral votes. It's going to
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: be a very very bad situation. And it's done. It's
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: done as soon as they attain power. Now, if we
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: do what I'm saying, they'll never they'll most likely never
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: attain power because we will have passed every single thing
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: that you can imagine that it's good and all good
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: for the country, and there'll be no reason to it.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: If we don't do that, people say they're not.
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: Doing much and they're in power. So the good news
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: is we did the great, big, beautiful bill and it's
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: the greatest thing we could have done, and the smartest thing.
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: With John and our Speaker of the House, who's so good, Mike,
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: Mike Johnson.
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: We did all in one bill. If we didn't John,
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: it would be a.
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: Problem because you know, we would have gotten a small
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: piece pass. A lot of people wanted to do that.
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: A lot of people in the room wanted to do that.
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: They went along with me and John and everybody, and
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: we got this thing passed. Honestly, it's four years worth
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: of goodies and no tax on tips, no tax on
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: social Security, no tax on think of it, no tax
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: on overtime. It's an unbelieve tax cut for the workers
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: and for business where business is going to create jobs,
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: and we are. We're creating jobs at levels that nobody's
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: ever seen before.
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: All these things are good. We have to be able
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: to get the word out.
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: If we don't get the word out, we'll make it
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: a very big mistake. So I have this long, beautiful
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: and very boring speech. I won't bother reading it, but
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: because we can just start talking, and I think it's
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: very important. We have to get the country open. And
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: the way we're going to do it this afternoon is
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: to terminate the filibuster. And its possible. You're not going
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: to do that, and I'm going to go by your wishes.
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: You're very smart people, we're good friends. But I think
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: it's a tremendous mistake. Really, it would be a tragic mistake. Actually,
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: it's time. It's time. If I thought they weren't going
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: to approve, i'd sort of be with you.
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: I'd be fine, I'd be neutral to with you.
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: But knowing that they're going to pass it, as soon
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: as they get any semblance of control, they'll pass the
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: first thing. Then it's like, we have to do it first,
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: and we have two years, and we'll end up with
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: two three years, and we'll have this country so perfect.
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: We will have passed more legislation than any Congress and
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: any group of senators or a group of congressmen, and
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: we will get it through. They'll send it to us,
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: we'll send it to them. It'll be a beautiful machine. Otherwise,
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: we're just going to sit around and argue with these
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: people all day long. And they're highly unrealistic, highly unrealistic.
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: Many of them are radical left subversives. Rightly, so I
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: want to thank everybody, and we're going to talk, and
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: I want to thank the press for treating us so
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: really well for that foreign trip. It was an amazing
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: We had just an amazing meeting. Don't forget two months
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: ago it looked like the whole world was in trouble
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: over rare Earth, and that's no longer even a subject
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: that people talk about. It was all worked out very quickly.
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: Without tariffs, I couldn't have done it. I put a
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: one hundred percent tariff on China as soon as I
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: heard it within twenty minutes. I put a one hundred
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: percent tariff in China. President She, who's really a friend
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: of mine as much as he can be a friend.
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: He's a tough man. He's a tough man, smart man,
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: actually very smart. The press doesn't like it when I
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: call him very smart. You know, they think I'm not
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: supposed to call him smart. But at least one point
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: four billion people without question. In fact, during the meeting
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: we were there, A couple of you were there, and
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: some of you saw it. So he's here and he's
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: got about six people on each side, and every one
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: of those people were standing like this. They were an
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: attention and I made a comment to one of them
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: and I got no response. I said, are you going
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: to answer me? I got no response, and President She
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: didn't let him have any So there's any question. I said,
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: I want my cabinet to behave like that. That's the
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: way I'm demanding that. I want them sitting up like that.
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: Tim just nice and straight. I never saw a pasture
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: like that. I've never seen men so scared in their lives.
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: They have the equivalent, the equivalent of a vice president.
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: He was. I said, are you going to answer my
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: question and he's like, he doesn't move. I say, what's
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: wrong with this card? I will answer all questions. Why
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: don't you behave like that? JD doesn't behave like that?
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: JD buds into conversations. What I want to have? I
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: want to have that for at least a couple of days. Okay,
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: j J. We'll keep you long term, but a couple
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: of days of that would a couple of days if
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: that would.
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: Be very very nice.
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: I want to thank you and we'll talk a little bit.
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: And uh, I see they set me up with a podium.
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: I thought i'd just be sitting, but it's probably easier.
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: I want to thank you all very much. Thank you
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: to the press, and you can go and we'll speak
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: to you later. Thank you. I'm going to Miami to make
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: a speech today at a big group and we have
• 20:39

• 20:43
