Bannon's War Room - Episode 5349： The President Brings Back Presidential Fitness Awards

00:00:00.000 This is the primal scream of a dying regime.

00:00:08.820 Pray for our enemies, because we're going medieval on these people.

00:00:14.020 You're just not going to get a free shot at all these networks lying about the people.

00:00:18.300 The people have had a belly full of it.

00:00:20.220 I know you don't like hearing that.

00:00:21.640 I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it.

00:00:24.340 It's going to happen.

00:00:25.380 And where do people like that go to share the big lie?

00:00:29.000 Mega Media.

00:00:30.000 I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.

00:00:35.820 Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?

00:00:39.540 If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.

00:00:45.960 War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Vann.

00:00:49.120 uh tuesday 5 may in the year of our lord 2026 uh the president and i kind of figure this might

00:01:02.820 happen he's a little bit delayed uh gonna go to the oval office he's gonna sign a proclamation

00:01:08.700 about youth fitness as soon as we get heads up from the way house we'll go there we may dip in

00:01:14.080 and out of that but we would definitely be there if he takes any questions from the from the media

00:01:17.980 uh today over the pentagon we started the day by uh we we started the day by um saying um

00:01:26.400 with a press briefing from the pentagon pete hegseth and um and uh general kane talking about

00:01:35.620 a project um operation uh was it freedom the um and this is this effort now to keep the streets

00:01:45.740 or Hormuz open. And as Eric Bolling just told us, 11 vessels so far today, I think three yesterday.

00:01:54.400 And I think it was confirmed that because there's this question of how many vessels and how many

00:02:01.680 vessels. Is that the is that the president? We're getting ready to. Let's go ahead and jump into

00:02:06.980 the president. The dollar's convertibility into gold ended in 1971. Gold was fixed at

00:02:15.620 $35 an ounce. Well, fast forward to today, and the U.S. dollar has lost over 85% of its purchasing

00:02:23.400 power. Gold, on the other hand, is increased in value by over 12,000%. That's why central banks

00:02:31.280 are buying gold at record levels. That's why major firms like Vanguard and BlackRock

00:02:35.700 hold significant positions in gold. And that's why I encourage you to consider diversifying your

00:02:43.000 savings with physical gold from birch gold group but it starts with education birch gold just

00:03:33.440 and do it today. Everyone's focused on how the conflict in the Middle East is raising oil prices,

00:03:39.240 but there's another grim reality to this contention. Oil isn't the only resource being

00:03:45.480 constrained. About one-third of global fertilizer trade happens through this region. And with spring

00:03:51.680 planting season on top of us, American farmers are sounding the alarm, with some saying they

00:03:56.800 can't afford to plant their fields. When one piece of the supply chain gets hit this hard,

00:04:01.820 you know what comes next higher food prices reduced availability maybe even panic buying

00:04:08.200 that's why having an emergency food supply at home makes so much sense and that's where our

00:05:00.240 The American health care system is broken, and for most Americans, nothing changes.

00:05:06.240 There's still delays, denials, high-cost insurance roadblocks.

00:05:10.020 So when I find people doing things differently, I talk about it.

00:05:15.360 All-Family Pharmacy is not your typical big-chain pharmacy.

00:05:19.440 This is an independent, family-owned pharmacy that gives you access to over 400 medications delivered straight to your door.

00:05:27.140 They've got ivermectin, antibiotics, antivirals, NAD+,

00:05:33.060 even your daily maintenance medications, and so much more.

00:05:37.460 If you already have a prescription, your doctor can send it directly.

00:05:41.240 If you don't, their doctors handle it.

00:05:43.940 As long as there is a medical necessity, they'll take care of you.

00:05:48.420 And I'll tell you this, the feedback from people listening to this show and watching

00:05:51.640 has been incredibly strong.

00:05:54.240 People are using it.

00:05:55.340 It's working for them, and they're sticking with it.

00:05:57.920 That's because it cuts out the delays, the middlemen, and all the usual nonsense.

00:06:03.360 This is about being ready before you need it.

00:06:16.820 The health care system is broken.

00:06:19.700 Your pharmacy doesn't have to be.

00:06:22.180 And all top. If they weren't really good, we don't allow them. You're going to be really good. Like Gary Player is an example. He won 168 tournaments over a very average career. You know, think of it. He won 168 tournaments, 18 majors, 9 and 9 senior.

00:06:43.780 he has more championships than anybody national championships than anybody and I played with him

00:06:51.720 he just he's very proud of it actually played with him on his 90th birthday he very easily

00:06:56.660 on a tough course from 6,800 yards he very easily shot a 70 and it was the easiest 70

00:07:06.200 and normally if you shoot a 70 and you're 90 you'd run around so excited Gary's like

00:07:12.440 all right let's have a little lunch because he's the most unexcited human man because he's been

00:07:19.020 doing it all his life he's been winning the top three in history my opinion i don't think it's

00:07:23.760 my opinion just based on the record gary is top three jack and tiger and gary greatest golfer so

00:07:30.580 thanks for being here and uh as you know we have the u.s open champion and he won two u.s opens

00:07:38.480 but that last one was unbelievable he had a i think gary's one of the greatest shots ever hit

00:07:43.280 to win a u.s open certainly one of the top they say one of the top three i don't know what the

00:07:48.000 other two are but he hit an unbelievable sand shot sank a four and a half foot putt and he won the

00:07:54.160 u.s open and he's been a great golfer from the day he was born if you believe in genetics because i

00:08:01.040 do but he won you know he won the u.s amateur years ago and he won it quite easily but he's

00:08:08.320 And he's a great person and a great friend of mine, Bryson DeChambeau.

00:08:13.060 And thank you, Bryson.

00:08:14.060 And you're very much in charge of this whole operation of sports.

00:08:17.020 He's so much into physical fitness.

00:08:18.640 All you have to do is take a look at him.

00:08:21.020 And you say, why is he even doing this?

00:08:22.880 Because I think if you didn't work out at all, you'd still look almost like you do right

00:08:28.400 now.

00:08:29.400 But you are doing great.

00:08:30.400 And everybody respects Bryson.

00:08:32.020 He's the longest hitter in golf.

00:08:34.340 And he's straight.

00:08:35.600 And frankly, maybe the best part of his game, Gary, is he's a great putter.

00:08:38.420 Absolutely.

00:08:39.420 You played with him, right?

00:08:40.420 And the asset to the guy.

00:08:41.420 And he's a great asset, and he's a great person.

00:08:44.840 And we have, along with the University of Florida's basketball coach, Todd Golden.

00:08:50.380 Todd?

00:08:51.380 Where's Todd?

00:08:52.380 Right here.

00:08:53.380 Todd?

00:08:54.380 Hi Todd.

00:08:55.380 And what a job.

00:08:56.380 By the way, what a job you've done.

00:08:57.380 I see that I'm a little busy to watch the games, but I always see your team is right

00:09:00.540 up there.

00:09:01.540 Yeah.

00:09:02.540 job as a young guy an american hockey hero tj oh she is one of the best hockey players

00:09:09.980 in the world tj good to be thanks for having me how's your golf game the hockey the hockey players

00:09:16.620 bryson was saying the hockey players seem to be the best of the athletes seem to be the best

00:09:21.340 golfers you know it's the greatest game yeah it's great and he's a good golfer he's a three

00:09:26.060 handicap may be better right it's that's very good but stick right stick stick to hockey yeah right

00:09:34.620 as a three he has to stick out uh that's great what a career you've had to at a young age and

00:09:42.780 professional baseball pitcher noah cinder guard sometimes referred to as thor and he looks like

00:09:49.580 That's a man. I wouldn't want to get into a fight with him. That would not be a good situation. This year we celebrate 250th anniversary of our country and it's our nation's founding. It's a big deal. In addition, we have the World Cup and we have which is just now started and we have the Olympics. I got them both.

00:10:19.580 And I was very proud of myself. I tried to say I got the 250th also, but nobody that didn't work out too well. But I did get I did get both the World Cup and I got the Olympics and I was very proud of that.

00:10:34.260 But I was very sad, actually, because I got him in my first term and I said, oh, wow, I'm not going to be able to go as president because they were in six years.

00:10:45.780 So I wouldn't be president. I thought I'd easily win the election, which, by the way, I did.

00:10:50.500 And unfortunately, bad things happened. It was a rigged election.

00:10:53.960 And I said, oh, I'll do it again. I had the ultimate poll. I did so well.

00:10:58.520 And I had the ultimate poll and we won in a landslide. We won every single swing state.

00:11:03.800 we won the popular vote we won everything you can win we won 87 of the counties in the united states

00:11:10.760 and i ended up with the olympics and i ended up with the world cup and very importantly maybe the

00:11:16.120 most important is we have the 250th anniversary on june 14th we're going to have the ufc and the

00:11:22.680 biggest fight they've ever done by far it's the hardest ticket i've ever been involved with

00:11:27.320 and they're building a 5 000 seat stadium right in the front of right by the front door of the

00:11:31.400 white house and then they're gonna have anywhere from 75 to 100 000 people on the park right past

00:11:37.880 the white house with eight tremendous screens and then we have roger penske so that that's dana

00:11:44.840 white's dream what what that is it's going to be amazing and then we have roger penske is going to

00:11:50.280 have a big championship indie around the capital and the indie racers and he's he's been trying to

00:11:58.120 get it here for 25 years and he said i came to washington exactly 121 times and i was never

00:12:03.960 able to get it i came once to see you and we had it done in a half an hour and he's fantastic he's

00:12:09.240 won 20 indianapolis 500s can you believe that other you know countries and and i say it all

00:12:15.800 the time i gave him the presidential medal of freedom like i gave to gary too because of his

00:12:21.480 career and then roger went on his 18th i called him i said come on i want to give you the president

00:12:27.480 you won 18 japan germany all these countries they spend billions and billions of dollars and

00:12:33.800 they don't you know it's very hard for them to win they don't win very very much they spend all

00:12:37.400 that money and roger just wins it all the time so i gave it to him on the 18th win and since then

00:12:43.480 he's won that was four years ago since then he's won two more so he's going to be here with the

00:12:48.200 indy cars and it's going to be their biggest race maybe ever and they're going to be circling the

00:12:53.000 capital we have uh pennsylvania avenue closed down and it's i said do you like the course he said i

00:12:59.160 love the course i said pick the best course we'll get it for you don't go the easy way pick the best

00:13:05.400 roads i don't care it doesn't matter and he picked a perfect he said it's as good as you can get

00:13:11.240 and unfortunately he picked the most important roads in the city which is a little tougher

00:13:15.560 but we got it done for him quickly and that's going to be in august so we have a lot of really

00:13:20.600 exciting things happening so today i sign a proclamation recognizing national youth sports

00:13:27.180 and fitness and i'll also sign the very first copy of the new revitalized presidential fitness test

00:13:33.700 award a certificate in recognition of achievement of the gold standard of physical fitness and this

00:13:39.880 is something that bryson de chambeau wanted to do uh very badly bryson's amazing i mean as a

00:13:46.640 He's somebody that can put on 25, 30 at one point.

00:13:51.400 I guess he put on almost 50 pounds.

00:13:53.040 You remember, he looked like a linebacker for the first bird.

00:13:56.400 And he decided he didn't like himself at that weight.

00:14:01.800 It was all muscle, Gary.

00:14:02.800 It was crazy.

00:14:03.520 He looked like a massive football player.

00:14:05.760 You wouldn't want to play him in hockey.

00:14:07.540 And he said he didn't like it.

00:14:09.640 He developed too much speed.

00:14:12.540 This is the problem with people.

00:14:13.900 He had too much speed.

00:14:15.000 He wants to bring it down a little bit.

00:14:16.720 So he looks, he can put on weight, like up and down, like a yo-yo.

00:14:20.740 And he doesn't take the shot, okay?

00:14:25.280 He doesn't need the fat shot.

00:14:27.540 He just, I said, do you ever take this shot? 0.94

00:14:29.360 He didn't even know what the hell I was talking about.

00:14:30.920 What shot?

00:14:31.940 No, he can put it on.

00:14:33.000 He's a scientist.

00:14:34.140 He's like a scientist with his body.

00:14:36.580 He's a great guy, and he's an absolute champion, so I appreciate it.

00:14:40.820 But Bryson really wanted to bring it back because we are bringing it back.

00:14:46.300 It's something that's a lot of people, the wrong people probably were involved.

00:14:51.160 I don't know.

00:14:51.540 But this is a group of people that physical fitness is everything.

00:14:54.600 Gary Player, by the way, you talk about golf.

00:14:57.580 He was always considered in the best shape of anybody.

00:15:02.760 He was long ahead of the rest of the world.

00:15:04.820 Now you see all these guys have a 28-inch waist.

00:15:07.800 They walk down.

00:15:08.480 It's like robots, right?

00:15:10.340 but gary was always he was way he was way ahead of everybody else from the late 1950s until 2013

00:15:18.260 great schoolers across the country competed against each other in the presidential fitness

00:15:22.580 test but others and then we had the obama administration wonderful wonderful person

00:15:27.620 barack who said obama have you heard of him we had the obama administration which phased out this

00:15:34.500 wonderful tradition of physical fitness. Thank you, Barack, very much. Great job. And we're

00:15:41.000 bringing it back. We're bringing it back. My administration's working very hard to defend

00:15:46.060 America's cherished athletic traditions and pass our values of excellence and competitiveness to

00:15:52.340 the next generation. So important. We're working on historic reforms to save college sports, and

00:15:58.480 we banned men from competing in women's sports that was sort of an easy one they say you know

00:16:04.960 the radical left says that's an 80 20 issue now it's 99 one they say 80 20 who are the 20 i've

00:16:12.160 never met anybody nobody's ever come up so i've been president for five years and uh nobody's

00:16:18.000 ever come up to me say sir you have to allow men to play in women's sports you know i've never had

00:16:24.400 one person say it's really important that we allow women to be challenged by

00:16:30.220 men in women's sports and doesn't work so we did that and with the help of

00:16:35.140 Secretary Kennedy who's with us we're striving constantly to make America

00:16:39.700 healthy again and that's what we're doing we have unbelievable numbers coming

00:16:45.460 Bobby will mention it we have unbelievable numbers coming so these

00:16:49.460 next few years will be a golden age for American sports just like it's a golden

00:16:54.100 age for america you know we hit an all-time high stock market today despite that we're in a little

00:16:58.520 skirmish military i call it a skirmish because iran has no chance they never did they know it

00:17:06.940 they express it to me when i talk to them then they get on television they say how well they're

00:17:12.560 doing and they have no navy totally wiped out they have no air force totally wiped out

00:17:18.760 they have no anti-aircraft capability totally wiped out no radar they have no leaders the

00:17:27.140 leaders are wet the whole thing and then i read the papers and they say how well they're doing

00:17:32.280 they're not doing well that's why you have no credibility no credibility the the news the

00:17:38.800 fake news has no credibility but the president's cup it's uh going to be something and we're going

00:17:44.320 have that. We're going to do very special presentations to Johnny, who, as you know,

00:17:49.240 is the commissioner. He's a fantastic person who runs the soccer. And if I don't know if you know

00:17:56.680 this, but so more tickets have been sold earlier than at any World Cup they've ever had. And the

00:18:03.160 numbers are more than double. They've never seen anything like it. So it's really a shock. I don't

00:18:07.520 know if soccer has taken off or not taken off, but I can the World Cup is doing numbers like

00:18:12.440 they've never done they've never done anywhere close and we have the patriot games in honor of

00:18:17.320 our 250th anniversary this fall it's going to be all on television and with actually it's like

00:18:22.800 the ones that we have here we're going to continue to win win win our country is doing great

00:18:27.460 we uh we're breaking records in every way and uh and i was uh too bad but i had to do it we 0.77

00:18:35.120 we can't let iran have a nuclear weapon you might be too young for this i don't know if i want they 0.93

00:18:40.700 probably know they probably know better than most people but you can't let a bunch of lunatics have 0.63

00:18:46.580 a nuclear weapon or the world would be in trouble the world would be in trouble so we just hit

00:18:52.540 records at on the dow was supposed to be done in five or six years somebody said it couldn't be

00:18:58.140 possible to reach 50 on the dow and i reached 50 in the first year and then i reached 7 000 and by

00:19:06.820 the way, just set a new record. The S&P just set a new record, much higher, 7,500. But they said

00:19:13.040 even harder than 50 on the Dow is getting to 7,000 on the S&P. We did that by the end of the first

00:19:19.380 year, all before the end of the first year. Gary, so think of that. They said we couldn't do it in

00:19:24.400 four years, and we did it at the end of the first year. And then, you ever have this? And then I

00:19:29.760 said, I called all my people in, I said, we just set every record in the book. The economy's going

00:19:35.380 grade i ended eight wars nobody else ended ever ended a war and the person that won the nobel

00:19:41.780 prize maria she's a good person she said i don't deserve this this deserves to president trump

00:19:47.620 there's never been a man that deserves a nobel he ended eight wars including india pakistan which

00:19:52.580 would have been a nuclear war eight of them and i called everybody in gary and i said you know what

00:19:59.140 we just broke every record and now we're going to take a hit because we have to make a journey

00:20:05.800 down to iran to take the nuclear weapon they would have had a nuclear weapon in within two

00:20:11.960 weeks remember we sent that beautiful b2 bomber in and we uh we blew up their nuclear potential

00:20:19.080 it was obliterated for those that are not aware and to a point where they it would take them weeks 0.94

00:20:25.620 to dig down and we wouldn't let them dig down we have our eyes on it all the time but it was a very

00:20:31.660 important thing so we would have had a ray and iran with a nuclear weapon and maybe we wouldn't 0.82

00:20:39.580 all be here right now i can tell you the middle east would have been gone israel would have been 0.94

00:20:43.360 gone and they would have traded their sights on europe first and then us because they're sick 0.99

00:20:49.640 people these are sick people and we're not going to let lunatics have a nuclear weapon the power 0.94

00:20:55.460 of a nuclear weapon is something i don't even want to talk about it's not going to happen and 0.99

00:21:01.020 we have beaten them badly they're talking oh now they're reduced to little boats with a machine

00:21:08.420 gun on the front of them because they had a navy of 159 ships every single ship in the first week

00:21:14.040 was right pete every single ship they had is resting underwater right at the bottom of the

00:21:22.660 They have no Navy. It's totally wiped out. Same thing with the Air Force. So we're doing well. But it's all about, you know, having a great country. And one of the things I think that when they talk about physical fitness, one of the things I notice about friends of mine, all of the people, all of the great athletes here, is their mind is better than people that aren't fit.

00:21:45.160 it's uh because i think of mine you know once you once you hit a ball well or you do whatever

00:21:50.680 it is that you run well play hockey as great as you play it but once you i mean you obviously have

00:21:56.840 to have a certain physicality you can't have somebody with a great mind and zero zero uh

00:22:03.160 athletic talent right but when you get up to that league it's all about the mind mind is so important

00:22:08.840 and these people express it i think better than anybody so with that i'd like to ask somebody

00:22:14.520 that's done really an incredible job he has got some group of people that love

00:22:20.460 him some big group of people it was a it was a big day when he endorsed me for

00:22:25.260 president very unusual because I happen to be a Republican I would say that

00:22:30.340 Republicans were not too big in the Kennedy family but they're big now

00:22:34.900 because he's the biggest he's the biggest in the group and everybody

00:22:39.860 respects him a lot he's doing a fantastic job so Bobby would you say a

00:22:42.840 Thank you, Mr. President.

00:22:47.240 Almost immediately after my uncle was elected in 1960, he came across some federal data

00:22:57.600 that showed that 5% of American kids were obese.

00:23:02.300 And that was more than double the European number, and he became very concerned that

00:23:06.220 Americans were becoming soft.

00:23:09.400 And he published an article before his inauguration called The Soft American, in which he said

00:23:15.280 that there's a national security issue, it threatens our economy, we need a vigorous

00:23:20.660 population that is in good shape spiritually, morally, physically, if we're going to continue

00:23:26.240 to exercise leadership around the world.

00:23:29.480 And he launched the physical fitness test, which became a milestone for my generation

00:23:34.600 for several generations after me.

00:23:37.480 It was an enduring rite of passage for us that everybody in my generation remembers.

00:23:45.540 It was a benchmark also because we did pull-ups, sit-ups, shuttle runs, and a number of other

00:23:51.000 events, and it was a benchmark for measuring national physical fitness.

00:23:57.600 Around that time, my uncle came across correspondence between Teddy Roosevelt and the head of his

00:24:05.540 commandant of his Marine Corps and Teddy Roosevelt asked him what are the metrics

00:24:11.480 what are the physical requirements for a Marine and Roosevelt or the commandant

00:24:16.640 wrote him back saying that a Marine had to walk 50 miles in a single day with a

00:24:22.220 30-pound pack my uncle wrote a letter to his commandant and said can today's

00:24:28.700 Marines do the same thing the following day he had a cabinet meeting was it a

00:24:34.580 friday and he had private cabinet meetings unlike the ones that we have to go through here

00:24:40.100 i said my uncle was i'll just say this my uncle was proud he was the first president that televised

00:24:46.580 press conferences and he was very proud he did more press conferences than any president in

00:24:51.300 history he did 64 in his thousand days in office this president does that every two months he does

00:24:58.740 a press conference every day, you know, or cabinet meetings for better or for worse are

00:25:04.020 also televised, but it's the most transparent administration that we've ever seen, the most

00:25:09.820 successful administration in history, and he went into that cabinet meeting, that private

00:25:14.580 cabinet meeting that morning, and he said to the cabinet, one of you has to do a 50-mile

00:25:20.420 hike this weekend to show the American people that we're in shape, and he didn't, this cabinet

00:25:27.780 could have done it. We have a bunch of thoroughbreds in this cabinet. Pete and Scott and Sean Tuffy

00:25:33.560 and Linda and Tulsi and Doug Burgum and Jamison and all the rest. There's a lot of people who could

00:25:39.740 probably do a 50 mile hike. What about me? You didn't mention mine. This guy walks nine miles

00:25:45.560 of a golf course every weekend so he could do it in the breeze. When I'm not using a car.

00:25:50.500 my father was the only one who could do it and he went into the Justice Department that night and

00:26:00.520 he had a bunch of guys in the Justice Department who were former Marines who had gone to Harvard

00:26:07.600 on the GI Bill and played on the same football team and he hired them all when he came into the

00:26:12.100 Justice Department he said you guys are going on a 50 mile hike with me tomorrow and they got up at

00:26:17.980 4 a.m. and they started on this sea and oak canal towpath which was frozen in the middle of winter

00:26:25.020 and they were going to walk to camp david one by one they each dropped out my father was the

00:26:30.060 only one who made it he the last guy to drop out was his best friend his name was dave hackett

00:26:36.540 and dave hackett's legs had swollen up and uh he said i gotta quit and my father said

00:26:42.300 you're lucky your brother's not the president of the united states because the press was following

00:26:46.300 and there was no way that my father would quit i was at camp david that night watched him come in

00:26:52.140 his feet were bleeding they were covered with blisters but it was part of the message that

00:26:56.700 president kennedy wanted to send the american people if we were going to maintain our national

00:27:02.540 authority our national our international leadership our moral authority as a nation

00:27:08.620 that we had to pay attention to our our physical condition a physical fitness test was a critical

00:27:15.580 part of that and i think it's very unfortunate that president obama and president biden abandoned

00:27:21.260 it they said competition is not good for kids which is not true if we're going to be competitive

00:27:27.500 internationally we need to be competitive with each other we need to teach people how to win

00:27:32.540 and how to lose and how to process victory and defeat and um today they since that time

00:27:43.020 the presidency has presided over the worst public health crisis in history we're now the sickest

00:27:49.900 nation in the world we've gone from five percent of our kids being obese to twenty percent

00:27:55.900 seventy percent of adults are obese or overweight and 77 of our children cannot qualify for military

00:28:03.180 service and that should be an eye-opener for all of us and i'm so grateful to president

00:28:09.740 Trump for his leadership and his vision of reinstituting the physical fitness

00:28:15.620 and challenging Americans to compete with each other in a friendly congenial

00:28:21.440 way and to get it help each other get in shape so that we can prepare for a

00:28:27.680 great future that this administration is going to provide for this country

00:28:31.100 Well, see, that was great.

00:28:35.100 Bobby, do you ever see a picture of Bobby working out?

00:28:42.100 It's like, you guys, I said, you've got to be kidding me.

00:28:46.100 He's in great shape.

00:28:47.100 I didn't know that about your father.

00:28:49.100 That's very impressive, huh?

00:28:50.100 Did he work out a lot, Bobby?

00:28:52.100 He was a great guy.

00:28:53.100 He was an athlete, and he was always in good shape, and he played sports every weekend.

00:28:59.100 was he uh your uncle was a great athlete too wasn't he a very good athlete my my father was

00:29:04.300 the only one of the brothers that lettered in football jack was a swimmer which allowed him

00:29:10.940 to save his crewmates when his ship went down and uh uh off the solomon islands so he was able to

00:29:18.460 swim or drag one of his shipmates to shore because he's been on the swim team that's a great story

00:29:24.220 very interesting bobby that was very good it's quite interesting everybody was listening you

00:29:28.620 know usually people are sort of wandering off as people speak but not when bryson speaks

00:29:33.180 and gary speaks like why don't you start it yeah secretary kennedy thank you for those uh inspiring

00:29:38.060 words uh from your uncle and thank you to uh the president united states for helping reestablish

00:29:43.340 this presidential fitness test has been something that we've been looking forward to doing for a

00:29:46.860 long time um since 2013 i remember going through the presidential fitness test as a kid and getting

00:29:52.060 in that award, and it was quite an honor.

00:29:54.160 So being up here and a part of that is quite instrumental

00:29:56.660 and going to be amazing for our nation's future.

00:30:00.860 Re-establishing the golden standard of the Presidential Fitness Test

00:30:04.740 has been a huge deal for me,

00:30:07.020 is that these kids now are going to have a healthy future.

00:30:10.220 That's really an important thing for us to note here,

00:30:13.280 is that we want to make sure our kids have the best opportunity

00:30:17.020 to succeed in life, and not only from their mind,

00:30:19.900 But their health and their well-being, their physical fitness is a huge priority to helping them become better human beings in general for our nation.

00:30:31.080 And so what's quite honestly cool is Secretary Hegseth here has allowed us to be involved in over 160 schools, military bases, with DOEA and institutionalizing this presidential fitness test in those schools.

00:30:47.020 So I have to say thank you so much for helping establish that.

00:30:50.400 And hopefully here soon we can do that across the nation,

00:30:53.020 of which we believe will have a tremendous effect on these kids and their future.

00:30:58.500 So I just wanted to say thank you to the president,

00:31:00.820 thank you to the cabinet members for everything you've done.

00:31:03.160 And we're going to go out there and have a great day on the field

00:31:05.960 and give these kids some fun things to go and play with,

00:31:09.440 whether it's football, soccer, doing some pull-ups.

00:31:12.100 Can you guys do pull-ups?

00:31:13.360 No?

00:31:14.060 We'll help you.

00:31:14.920 We'll help you.

00:31:15.600 But that's a part of the presidential fitness test is aspiring to help these kids become a better version of themselves.

00:31:21.340 And that's what I couldn't be more excited to be a part of.

00:31:23.240 I want to say thank you to the athletes that are here today and to Gary Player.

00:31:26.120 He's always been an inspiration to me.

00:31:28.320 And albeit I'll never get to your record, I thank you for giving me aspirations to hopefully get one-eighth of what you have.

00:31:34.620 So thank you.

00:31:35.560 And lastly, I just want to say to the kids, the most important thing you can do is always get 1% better a day.

00:31:41.800 That's the most important thing I can give you guys.

00:31:43.660 try to be a better version of yourself every day because one day you could be up here as well

00:31:48.040 you could be up here as well so thank you mr president thank you for everybody for being here

00:31:52.200 and uh i can't wait to see what we can do out there today

00:31:54.480 this is really for bryson because he's worked so hard on this he's he's really he really put it

00:32:05.980 together he's got the best athletes in the world i think it's actually 41 or 42 it's and all top

00:32:11.660 top people all big names top people and they all want to do it and uh bryson i was given a little

00:32:17.980 idea by bobby he mentioned camp david and it's a special place and i think we should have our

00:32:24.020 next meeting the full meeting at camp david so it's it's like a very special place so we'll do

00:32:30.940 that uh i'd love to have gary say a few words he's won 168 tournaments think of it uh that means he

00:32:38.560 won every weekend i say well when did you not win it's a record i think that will never be broken

00:32:43.120 and he won 18 majors nine senior and nine regular and many other things and uh he is a very special

00:32:50.480 guy and you know if you think about the power of positive thinking i don't know if gary has the

00:32:55.380 time but he he is the youngest winner of the british open what they call now the open championship

00:33:01.360 and he won it when he was 23 I think Gary right 23 if you if you want you could tell that story

00:33:09.300 because these are all people that love sports and they love golf but the way you asked you'd

00:33:14.440 like to practice my name is Gary Player and from South Africa you're not giving me the time to

00:33:19.820 practice I must practice on this course and the people thought who is this you don't understand

00:33:26.200 I'm going to win this tournament they never heard of him he came out of South Africa he's winning

00:33:29.820 everything he won the south african open like 14 times or something it's incredible but if you want

00:33:35.720 to tell that story i think it's a fabulous story but as a man with a powerful it's it's really the

00:33:42.360 power of positive thinking go ahead gary well mr president first of all thank you very much for

00:33:47.720 having us and hosting this today i've been around almost every president for the last 65 years

00:33:53.980 and i've never seen a president that loves this country as much they all did and they all did

00:33:59.500 great works but I've never seen a president that loves the country as much

00:34:03.640 as you do and I say thank you because I've traveled more miles than any human

00:34:08.180 being before without being repetitive and I've never seen a country like this

00:34:12.640 the freedom that exists which is so important to all of us and you know

00:34:17.380 sport can change the world it can give people a chance that don't have any hope

00:34:22.240 it can give them hope as we've seen many people with little education have become

00:34:26.740 world champions. Only in America have you got that opportunity. And the other thing

00:34:31.720 is, to Mr. Kennedy, who I have absolutely utmost respect for, you know, my great dream

00:34:38.680 now, I'm finished with tournament golf, my great dream is for the youth of America, the

00:34:43.780 youth of a nation, or the trustees of posterity. These are the people that are going to be

00:34:48.520 the future champions. And when I talk, I always talk about the importance of fitness. It's

00:34:54.360 so important. Please, can we bring it back in the schools? And as Senator Kennedy has

00:34:59.620 so aptly said, to eat properly. This is so important, what you put in your body. And

00:35:06.780 the big thing that I wish, and I pray every day, and wherever I talk, and I do a lot of

00:35:11.380 talking, I say to the young people, just love this country, because you don't realize what's

00:35:17.840 going on around the world. Even the students of the great universities of America really

00:35:22.720 don't understand what's happening around the world today there is a silent war

00:35:28.300 taking place against America today and what we've got to do is make these kids

00:35:34.000 realize that freedom and exercise and education start reading some books yes

00:35:40.160 keep your phone but also read some good books and listen to what mr. Kennedy has

00:35:44.840 said what you put in your body is so important what a wonderful job he's done

00:35:49.840 and all your cabinet members of which I say thank you for maintaining this great

00:35:54.460 word there's cherished word freedom thank you very much yeah and Gary is way

00:35:59.780 ahead of his time always and how many masters did you play in the record I

00:36:04.720 think 52 52 think of it 52 and most of them he had to qualify after you wanted

00:36:10.780 how many times did you want it three three so when you went to three you get

00:36:15.080 to play a little bit but most of the time he had to qualify but 52 matches it's uh it's amazing

00:36:22.520 and uh did well in every single one of them uh pete could i ask you to say a few words sure yes

00:36:29.040 sir you could maybe speak a little bit about the subject that they want to hear about also if you

00:36:33.600 want but uh just say a few words of you absolutely sir well fitness standards competition that's

00:36:41.300 we're all about at the war department so bringing those things to education is something i remember

00:36:47.620 as a kid i mean the presidential physical fitness award was the pinnacle event at forest lake

00:36:53.060 elementary school every year and i wanted to be the best and i wasn't but i worked my tail off

00:36:58.500 every year to try to get there pull-ups push-ups i couldn't do the v-sit and reach i could never

00:37:02.260 beat that one but i remember it because it was it was something my country clearly elevated is

00:37:07.860 important we should be in shape we should compete and there's winners and there's losers that we

00:37:14.860 need to infuse into our young people and obviously it takes young people to run a military and as the

00:37:19.940 secretary pointed out almost three-fourths of American young people do not qualify for military

00:37:24.800 service and a lot of that has to do with their physical fitness so we're proud at the war

00:37:29.320 department to put this first into department of war education activity our schools 161 of them

00:37:34.700 across 30 installations it's going to be mandatory for the young kids of those

00:37:40.040 service members who use those schools and we hope that's a pilot for all of

00:37:43.940 American education we hope the rest of America follows we need young strong

00:37:48.620 healthy Americans whether you serve in the military or any other aspect of your

00:37:52.580 life and I think this presidential fitness test Mr. President is a great

00:37:56.500 perfect thing to restore that sets those standards high for young people and

00:38:01.040 something for them to achieve the idea that competition is bad is the beginning of decline

00:38:05.680 of a nation competition is critical to who we are and ensuring america stays on top and speaking of

00:38:11.360 staying on top mr president we are as we talked about this morning project freedom is ongoing

00:38:16.560 we're ensuring that we have control of that strength which we do and ultimately iran has a

00:38:21.040 choice to make and they know we're in the strong position we hope they make a wise choice and

00:38:24.480 nobody better to make that deal mr president than you thank you very much thanks been a great job

00:38:28.960 a man who's in a very you talk about athletes this is a very serious athlete happens to be

00:38:35.140 in charge of a little thing called housing thank you mr president and thank you to all the great

00:38:42.700 ambassadors that are here and to the kids that are here you know that word competition i made

00:38:48.740 a living competing you know and being in the top physical fitness that i could be in playing in the

00:38:55.140 National Football League and one thing I want to remind the kids and really our

00:38:59.040 country is competition brings out the best in us be it in sport, be it in

00:39:04.080 business, be it in education and you always want to be the best you can be as

00:39:09.240 Bryson said every single day getting better and I'm grateful that I have an

00:39:13.500 opportunity to play in the National Football League but it taught me how to

00:39:17.420 be a good teammate. It taught me how to be humble in victory and to be steadfast

00:39:22.620 fast, you know, in defeat, as all these great athletes know. And Mr. President, thank you for

00:39:27.920 just your leadership in our country, but also for this important issue of having physically healthy

00:39:34.120 children and a physically healthy nation. And Bobby, thank you for reminding us of your uncle

00:39:39.640 and your father of how important it is for us to be, to look at the man holistically, spiritually,

00:39:46.260 morally, physically, mentally. And I think America historically has been the leader in all of those

00:39:52.180 areas, but we are at a critical function in our nation, and so I would encourage everyone.

00:39:57.780 This transcends politics.

00:39:59.600 You know, physical fitness is good for every man and woman and child in the United States

00:40:03.960 of America.

00:40:04.480 So, Mr. President, I'm committed to this.

00:40:07.420 I've seen the benefits of it in my own personal life.

00:40:09.940 My family and my cabinet colleagues are 100% behind this, and so I would encourage all

00:40:16.280 the young people of America, parents, teachers, educators, to take inventory and hear what

00:40:21.580 these leaders are saying about the national security of our country and

00:40:24.940 make sure that we're encouraging our young people to get out get your hands

00:40:27.880 dirty get your knees going get on the monkey bars start running and jumping

00:40:31.900 and playing together because if you're a good teammate the stronger team we are

00:40:36.520 the stronger country also thank you sir well thank you I have to just say we

00:40:42.280 have a star named Linda McMahon and she's made a tremendous amount of money

00:40:49.480 on sports at sport they are great athletes in my opinion wwe with her great husband what they built

00:40:57.240 is incredible they sold it for a fortune billions and billions of dollars you made more than bryson

00:41:03.160 and gary have you added up would you say a few words and she's one of our greats she's

00:41:09.720 she's a phenomenal person go ahead well that intro is a hard act to follow but i think what

00:41:15.320 we really we've talked a lot about fitness and I think that's incredibly

00:41:18.860 important because that's what all this is about but you know the Greeks had an

00:41:22.460 axiom sound mind and a sound body so as as Secretary of Education clearly I want

00:41:29.600 all of our schools to be able to adopt you know these programs we don't control

00:41:34.100 curriculum from the Department of Education but I sincerely hope the

00:41:37.940 emphasis that is being refocused on on kids and being fit and being able to

00:41:44.660 compete that's what you said Pete all of us are saying the same thing but let's

00:41:47.840 not forget it's got also a sound mind and a sound body in order to have a sound

00:41:52.820 mind you do have to eat well you do have to exercise you do have to train and you

00:41:58.220 do have to be fit to do that and if we all are we are the best of who we can be

00:42:02.960 so I encourage all of you to enjoy playing and competing and being good

00:42:08.720 sports you know while you're doing but don't forget you're studying all of your

00:42:12.740 academics because it is all part of the total package thank you linda great job appreciate it

00:42:18.820 so we have a couple of other guys if you guys wanted to say anything or we'll just take some

00:42:22.900 questions and if you'd like you can ask the big guy how fast did he throw it he threw it very fast

00:42:28.740 it's very scary scary and you want to say something i guess i'll just reiterate the

00:42:33.940 thanks mr president thank you the cabinet members for this opportunity to be here thank you bryson

00:42:39.780 So allow me to be in this elite company of people.

00:42:42.660 It's a pleasure to meet all you guys.

00:42:43.980 Let me look at you.

00:42:44.980 You're the embodiment of the physical fitness test.

00:42:47.040 He's seriously good at physical fitness.

00:42:52.000 And, Coach, you've done great at Florida.

00:42:53.720 Thank you very much.

00:42:54.780 No, an incredible honor to be here.

00:42:56.540 This is something that I'm passionate about,

00:42:58.200 and I think it's imperative that we're doing this for our youth right now.

00:43:02.200 Through experience, my wife and I have two young kids, nine and seven.

00:43:05.860 They're very active, very athletic.

00:43:07.720 but I can see some of their classmates and some of their teammates, you know,

00:43:11.320 sharing at screens all day. And again, as I said,

00:43:14.900 it's really important that we do this now and not only will I think this will

00:43:17.520 improve the overall physical health of our young people,

00:43:20.220 but I think it'll also help the mental health of our young people as well.

00:43:23.300 And just in case you don't know,

00:43:24.840 he is a coach who just came to a team and just took it right from the beginning.

00:43:29.000 Just unbelievable job you've done.

00:43:31.180 Thank you very much.

00:43:31.780 You're a very rich guy.

00:43:34.620 Still pay a minute. I want to represent him.

00:43:37.720 He came in and he just pulled this away.

00:43:41.500 Congratulations.

00:43:42.540 Who's going to win in hockey?

00:43:44.600 That's a tough one.

00:43:45.380 Colorado's a favorite.

00:43:46.660 I like Minnesota, though.

00:43:47.900 All right.

00:43:48.160 We're going to watch again.

00:43:49.440 We're going to watch.

00:43:50.640 Great job.

00:43:51.380 Thank you.

00:43:51.700 Great job you've done.

00:43:52.580 Thank you.

00:43:53.100 And we're going to go outside.

00:43:54.440 Did you want to ask a few questions of any of the people here?

00:43:58.040 Please.

00:43:58.620 Can I ask you about Iran, Mr. President?

00:44:00.340 Yes.

00:44:00.900 They've fired at U.S. ships several times in the last five hours.

00:44:05.340 what do they need to do to violate the ceasefire well you'll find out because i'll let you know

00:44:12.780 they know what to do and they know what to do they know what not to do more importantly actually and 0.66

00:44:20.620 you know they fired them in little boats with pea shooters you know the pea shooters little 0.79

00:44:25.100 boat with little you know why because they don't have any boats anymore their navy is comprised of

00:44:29.580 they call them little boats and they're fast yeah they're so fast that uh that they had eight of

00:44:37.820 them and they're all gone and they're fast but they're not fast like a missile a missile is

00:44:43.100 slightly faster they're all gone so they're looking around for little boats to try and compete with

00:44:48.460 our great navy we have a navy that's unbelievable you know we set up a blockade as you know very

00:44:54.220 well not one ship a couple tried and they got their engine shut out you remember i i think it

00:45:02.380 was one of them it was a great display uh a ship wanted to go through break the blockade they were

00:45:09.340 warned not to and then they were warned again by a young annapolis captain of the ship

00:45:15.500 with a great look central casting these people are central casting i'll tell you

00:45:19.820 and he said don't do it then he said evacuate your engine room with this

00:45:24.020 unbelievable loudspeaker that goes over water he said you have 10 seconds even

00:45:29.600 and then from four miles with one bullet it went right into the engine and Gary

00:45:36.020 the ship stopped very quickly they hit the engine with one shot it wasn't a

00:45:41.180 missile they don't want to waste a missile on it's too easy and we had

00:45:44.960 another one of two thousand one of the biggest ships in the world they were warned and he said

00:45:52.480 go back now go back right now you will be shot at within 10 seconds yes yes i am going back to

00:46:03.520 iran i am going back and that was the end of that right he went it takes it took him 10 miles to

00:46:08.820 the ship was so big but they respect us they didn't used to respect us but they respect us

00:46:15.380 more than we've ever been respected our country now is the hottest country anywhere in the world

00:46:20.260 we had a country that was dead when we had that group of people that ran this country with their

00:46:25.220 open borders letting anybody come in from the congo from countries all over the world they 0.94

00:46:30.180 came in from prisons and mental institutions we had a country that would have been a dead 0.68

00:46:35.380 if they won the election this country would have been a dead country now we have the hottest

00:46:40.180 country anywhere in the world go ahead thank you mr president you said recently that if iran

00:46:45.540 aliens were armed they could take over their regime do you plan to arm them soon well i don't

00:46:50.740 want to say that but yeah i mean people say why aren't they protesting they want to protest but

00:46:56.660 they don't have any guns so you could have 200 000 people protesting and have five or six sick

00:47:02.660 people with guns and when they start shooting them right between the eyes and you see a guy fall and

00:47:07.780 another one fall and you have no guns uh very few people would be able to stand there and i mean i

00:47:14.380 understand i tell them not to don't forget they killed 42 000 people last month 42 000 unarmed

00:47:22.520 protesters they have no guns so they had a 250 000 people crowd and they had snipers they had like

00:47:30.700 four or five snipers in buildings up high and you're standing there and all of a sudden the guy

00:47:35.340 on your left goes down and somebody that's what happened with a woman protest they had 200 000

00:47:41.420 women protesting a year ago and everyone thought that was the end of iran and then all of a sudden

00:47:48.220 a woman dropped dead with a bullet right there always right there then another woman dropped and

00:47:55.800 And then the word started to spread.

00:47:58.280 And then there was panic.

00:47:59.620 And then they ran and, you know, so I don't want that to happen.

00:48:03.980 We don't need that.

00:48:04.980 You know, we don't need it.

00:48:05.980 But the only reason they're not, they want to protest so badly, but they don't have weapons.

00:48:09.980 Yeah.

00:48:10.980 Thank you, Mr. President.

00:48:11.980 Next week, you have a very important meeting with President Xi in Beijing.

00:48:15.860 Secretary Besant has said that a top priority on the agenda will be Iran.

00:48:20.740 What do you hope to achieve with President Xi as it relates to Iran?

00:48:24.740 Well, I have a very good relationship with President Chesa, you know, I find him to be a tremendous guy and we get along well and you see how we do.

00:48:35.100 We're doing a lot of business with China and making a lot of money.

00:48:37.520 We're making a lot of money.

00:48:38.640 It's different than it used to be.

00:48:41.560 But I'll be talking about that'll be one subject.

00:48:43.860 But he's been very nice about this.

00:48:45.940 You know, in all fairness, he gets like 60 percent of his oil from hormones.

00:48:50.400 And he's been I think he's been very respectful. 1.00

00:48:53.620 we haven't been challenged by china they don't challenge us and um he wouldn't do that i don't 0.98

00:48:59.060 think he'd do that because of me but uh i think he's been very respectful and we've offered you

00:49:05.860 know if he wants to send the ships to the united states i think one of the big things that's

00:49:09.300 happened is i made a statement send your send your ships to texas it's not that much further

00:49:15.940 send your ships to louisiana send your ships to alaska alaska is actually very close to a lot of

00:49:22.580 the Asian countries people don't realize it you know Japan is back and forth

00:49:26.840 it's like it doesn't seem it but it's a very short route two days shorter than

00:49:30.820 almost any other route we're making tremendous big deals with South Korea

00:49:35.000 with Japan but I said send your ships all of a sudden I don't know if you saw

00:49:39.620 the graph today and this is Space Force which I created Space Force has they

00:49:45.620 just sent out some photos of the ships that are lined up all the way down the

00:49:51.860 ocean like like it's a highway it looks like the long island expressway for ships and they're all

00:49:58.260 heading to texas louisiana we've made up this land and that's why when i when i decided that

00:50:03.620 i have to do this for the good of the world not just the united states in a way we would have been

00:50:08.740 in less trouble than a lot of other places certainly the middle east would have been blown

00:50:12.420 up there wouldn't be a middle east anymore they would have controlled they would have taken over 0.87

00:50:16.100 the middle east now now they're trying to survive and they won't be successful unless they make a

00:50:21.140 a deal oh if they don't make a deal they won't be successful they'll go very quickly and

00:50:25.620 methodically believe me it'd be very easy but um we have so many alternatives it's amazing and

00:50:33.380 nobody knew this you know because as an example japan got 90 percent of their oil of their most

00:50:40.980 of their energy but most of their oil from the hormone strain uh south korea got 43 percent of

00:50:46.660 it by the way their ship was shot at they were not in the cavalcade of ships they had they decided

00:50:52.260 to go it alone and their ship got the hell knocked out of it yesterday but they didn't shoot the

00:50:57.480 ships that were guarded by us i'll tell you that we knocked down a lot of missiles so what happens

00:51:01.620 is that we have a situation where we have total control as you know the blockade's been amazing

00:51:08.840 it's like a piece of steel nobody's going to challenge the blockade and i think it's working

00:51:14.180 it out very well we're going to see i can say this iran wants to make a deal what i don't like

00:51:20.900 about iran is they'll talk to me with such great respect and then they'll go on television they'll

00:51:26.600 say we did not speak to the president we did not i just spoke to we did not speak to the president

00:51:33.220 so they play games but let me just tell you they want to make a deal and who wouldn't when your

00:51:40.420 military is totally gone. We could do anything we want to them. Who wouldn't?

00:51:45.920 On the filibuster, Mr. President, you've posted a lot about wanting to eliminate the filibuster.

00:51:51.100 It hasn't happened. Are you disappointed in leading?

00:51:53.560 Yeah, no, I'm disappointed. I like John a lot, but he, you know, he has a couple of

00:51:58.420 Republicans that are foolish people. A couple of them are alike. A couple of them I can't stand, 0.99

00:52:04.560 actually if you want to know the truth although i do i am at according to cnn 100 approval within

00:52:11.700 the republican party that's almost that's better than your record i'm at a hundred percent approval

00:52:18.280 did you see the cnn poll nobody talks about cnn i think the people that did that poll probably got

00:52:23.640 fired but within the republican party in maga which is basically a hundred percent of the party

00:52:29.380 I think but a hundred percent no I think that you're going to see some very interesting things

00:52:35.640 the filibuster if you had it we should have the Save America Act we should have voter identification

00:52:41.920 voter ID we should have proof of citizenship we should have mail-in voting for the military and

00:52:47.760 people that need it but not for everybody because anytime you have mail-in voting they're going to

00:52:52.740 cheat and they cheat like dogs and they have to cheat you know in all fairness in the Democrats

00:52:57.960 when you have men and women sports when you have open borders when you have 0.98

00:53:03.600 transgender mutilization don't listen to this kids of your children of your 0.99

00:53:10.140 children transgender mutilization of your children for everyone when you have 1.00

00:53:15.480 policies like that you have to cheat it's the only way they can win and we 1.00

00:53:20.780 shouldn't allow them to cheat and we should terminate the filibuster because

00:53:25.200 if they get the chance, they'll do it in the first hour back.

00:53:28.440 Mr. President, thank you. When Iran is seeing 50 percent inflation, they've moved money

00:53:33.080 from their side. Their economy is crashing. Would you allow their financial system then

00:53:36.920 to fail? Well, I guess so, because we're making it fail. Is that what it takes? I hope it

00:53:42.160 fails. Is that what it takes? You know why? Because I want to win. Well, no, it takes

00:53:46.880 getting pounded on by the military, I think, for more. But in addition to that, there,

00:53:52.580 it is failing. You know, we have sanctions on them, tremendous sanctions. Scott Besson's done

00:53:58.180 a great job. We have sanctions that nobody's ever seen before. No, they're failing. Their

00:54:04.020 currency is worthless. Their inflation is probably 150 percent. The real number is 150 percent.

00:54:13.060 They aren't paying their soldiers. They can't pay their soldiers. The money is worthless.

00:54:17.560 now it's they should do the smart thing you know they should do the smart thing

00:54:22.060 and because we don't want to go in and kill people really don't I don't want

00:54:26.620 to I don't want to it's too tough great people I know the people that has so

00:54:31.060 many Iranian friends from New York and from other places over the years they're

00:54:35.500 great people I don't want to I don't want to kill

00:54:37.540 The gas prices in the United States are $1.48 a gallon.

00:54:46.800 You said they would come back down.

00:54:48.720 They'll drop lower than they were before.

00:54:51.240 Will Project Freedom, sporting those ships, make that happen?

00:54:54.480 Well, it will because some of these tankers hold 2 million barrels.

00:55:02.180 One of them holds, I think it's the largest one in the world. 0.98

00:55:04.960 That sucker is big. 0.97

00:55:05.880 I've never seen anything like it 0.99

00:55:08.000 a ship, it's bigger than aircraft carriers

00:55:10.040 and

00:55:11.060 yeah, it has a big impact

00:55:13.840 it's so much, you know there are like

00:55:15.760 400 ships in there, 400

00:55:17.580 that in itself, now

00:55:19.680 the best is when it ends and just

00:55:21.740 neutralizes, but what's happening is

00:55:23.860 people are learning to buy

00:55:25.160 oil from the United States, I mean they're

00:55:27.800 making the trip and they have safer

00:55:29.940 probably it's a better product too

00:55:31.840 by the way, but

00:55:33.020 they have

00:55:34.900 they're learning to buy, they're changing their habits

00:55:37.460 so when I did this

00:55:39.200 I thought the market would go down 25%

00:55:41.400 and I think, I thought that was a great deal

00:55:43.620 if it did, if it went down 25%

00:55:45.540 I was satisfied, I said 0.86

00:55:46.700 because we cannot let these people have a nuclear

00:55:49.380 weapon, they'll use it, we can't

00:55:51.460 I also thought oil would go up to 200

00:55:53.580 250, maybe 300

00:55:55.200 and I know it would be short term

00:55:56.980 but I thought it would go

00:55:59.300 I look today, it's like

00:56:01.160 at 102 and that's a very small price to pay for getting rid of a nuclear weapon from people that

00:56:10.600 are really mentally deranged yeah the world is like by the way other presidents should have done 1.00

00:56:19.400 this 47 years they've been toying with these stupid people in many cases stupid people 1.00

00:56:27.240 this should have been done by obama he went the other way he was giving him cash he sent plane 1.00

00:56:31.960 loads a boeing 757 took the seats out and put green green cash 1.7 billion in the plane

00:56:42.120 every bank in virginia dc and maryland was stripped of their cash they took out all the

00:56:48.440 cash from the banks they put it into a plane a boeing 757 packed with cash and they flew it to

00:56:56.120 iran and they let these guys just i don't know what the hell they did with it but they took it

00:57:01.320 and then gave them billions and billions of dollars and bribed them basically to be friends

00:57:07.560 and after giving them tens of billions of dollars they screwed obama okay that's not the way we play

00:57:16.440 now we do it the old-fashioned way and they should wave they're very proud maybe you won't

00:57:23.720 see a white flag but essentially that's already what they are they need they should wave the white

00:57:30.440 the flag the white flag of surrender in hockey they say uh uncle right when are they gonna

00:57:40.040 when are they gonna cry uncle but but and they have another expression if this were a fight

00:57:46.520 they would stop it but you know we have to go out and we have to do it and it's it's very sad

00:57:52.840 it's very sad to see even shooting those boats they've got three four guys they got a little

00:57:58.200 machine gun in front they're shooting at one of our ships that's meant for it it bounces it

00:58:04.600 wouldn't even know they're being shot at and then they take it out with an apache helicopter in

00:58:09.960 about two seconds they go apache apache ship northwest 10 degrees turns around boom i don't

00:58:17.960 like that you know you lose people all these people it's so unnecessary it's so unnecessary

00:58:23.320 one thing we have we have the greatest military of the world i built it because i built it in

00:58:27.400 my first term i didn't think i'd be using it at least so much in my second term but we have the

00:58:33.480 greatest military the best equipment in the world we had 111 missiles shot at one of our assets one

00:58:41.000 of the aircraft carriers uh a week and a half ago two weeks ago think of this 111 sophisticated

00:58:48.980 missiles shot at one of our aircraft carriers and every single one of those missiles were shot down

00:58:56.200 with no problem whatsoever if you would have said that 10 years ago five years ago it would

00:59:01.840 have been an impossibility you would have had to take those shots every single missile was laying

00:59:06.600 in the water far away i mean not even they weren't even upset and they're the coolest people

00:59:11.800 if you ever see them you know beat when they do the missile when they do the right they say

00:59:17.480 missile coming missile coming and these guys it's like almost like oh i'm just like yeah they're

00:59:24.520 very smart these are extremely smart people they go to very good schools but uh they shot down

00:59:32.380 who would think they're they're like a needle in a haystack 111 missile shot 111 and 111 missiles

00:59:41.600 were knocked down into the water didn't even get close to the aircraft carrier no there's nobody

00:59:47.540 has a military like this okay a couple of more and then i want to go out and watch these great

00:59:51.880 athletes i'm not talking about him and him i'm talking about these kids because i think you're

00:59:57.180 be far better as an athlete than anybody behind you okay do you agree i think you're going to be

01:00:02.540 a better athlete what sport do you play i play football oh there you go do you think you're

01:00:10.780 going to be better than that you'll be faster you're going to be so much faster than him he's

01:00:16.700 going to be like lightning he was known for his speed by the way i don't know i think pretty good

01:00:21.740 what sport do you play i don't play sport because my mom didn't sign me up but i but i'm trying to

01:00:28.140 play gymnastics gymnastics that's a good sport it's a great sport what do you play i do dance

01:00:36.220 but i also do volleyball all right nice and tall do volleyball play amazing what about you look at

01:00:42.860 this guy's a big guy hey i'm i'm doing football right now and next year i'm going to be trying
