Bannon's War Room - Episode 5382： President Trump Speaks About America's New Ballroom

00:00:00.000 Bill Cassidy's lost because he tried to destroy Trump.

00:00:05.080 Massey's going to lose because he's trying to destroy the agenda.

00:00:08.500 You can disagree with President Trump, but if you try to destroy him,

00:00:11.600 you're going to lose because this is the party of Donald Trump.

00:00:15.360 Can you disagree with the president?

00:00:17.680 Because another Trump target is out of a job, as you just heard from Senator Lindsey Graham.

00:00:21.440 Louisiana Senator Bill Cassidy is the latest Republican to lose his seat after crossing

00:00:26.700 President Trump. He lost his primary. He might not be the last, showing once again that Donald

00:00:31.580 Trump is willing to spend time and money, a whole lot of money, to crush dissent among the Republican

00:00:37.200 ranks. But to what end? I know this personally, as you know. I remember I was thrown out in a

00:00:44.040 church convention, you know, during COVID because I was probably one of the first, right, to feel

00:00:50.160 the wrath of that specific type of retribution. And I think I'm happy that I did it, right? I'm

00:00:54.380 very proud of it. And I think part of what you're looking at, too, with Senator Cassidy, he's in a

00:00:59.280 red state. He's the person that's going to replace him is probably going to win, even if it's a plus

00:01:04.740 two or minus two or a plus three or minus three differential right in the PBI or how they win.

00:01:10.260 It doesn't really matter. Right. If Cassidy won by nine points and say the person who replaces

00:01:14.680 them is MAGA wins by seven, it doesn't matter because they still win. And President Trump is

00:01:18.840 willing to put those type of resources and time into doing that. So right now, what you're saying

00:01:22.720 is that anybody who bucks the system, as Kevin McCarthy told me, Denver, you're out of the

00:01:28.120 current. So once you're out of the current, you're not really part of the system anymore,

00:01:32.100 which that means fundraising gets taken away from you. You lose your ability to get laws or to get

00:01:37.440 even any type, anything through committee processes. And I think Senator Cassidy probably

00:01:42.280 realized pretty quickly that that was going to happen. But here's the thing, and I'll end with

00:01:46.760 this. This is a guy who got RFK Jr. through. So for me, right, seeing Cassidy, you know, on the end

00:01:53.360 of this, it really doesn't matter. He already did such incredible damage that the person replacing

00:01:58.660 him is going to be equally as bad, but really comes down to personal retribution. The fact that

00:02:03.440 MAGA is still firmly in Donald Trump's corner. To me, the most striking number here is think

00:02:08.100 about the fact that after January 6th, 17 congressional Republicans voted to impeach

00:02:14.520 Trump. Now, that's not a lot, but it's a significant number, 10 House Republicans,

00:02:18.000 seven senators. In the years that followed that, five of them lost their next primary.

00:02:24.340 Eight of them decided not to run again because they saw no path forward, right? So for Albany,

00:02:30.140 very small number of people like Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, deciding to vote against Trump

00:02:37.600 was the end of their political career. And, you know, I do tend to think that part of the reason

00:02:45.500 this White House is so intent on destroying any Republican who dares, you know, speak out against

00:02:52.080 him, disagree with him, certainly vote against him, is because it's almost like they have their

00:02:56.780 finger in the dam, right? They're trying to prevent this giant tidal wave of dissent and

00:03:05.260 backlash that is inevitably going to come. After these midterms, all bets are off, right? Donald

00:03:11.380 Trump is officially a lame duck president. Every Republican in Washington is going to start trying 0.99

00:03:17.120 to jockey for position to run in 2028. And I'm sorry, but Donald Trump can do whatever he wants,

00:03:23.420 and I'm sure that people in his orbit will try to prevent what's coming. But it's going to come.

00:03:29.920 There will be a big old fight in the Republican Party about where to go after Donald Trump.

00:03:36.560 And right now, he's just trying to do everything he can to hold that off as long as possible.

00:03:40.640 Two state Supreme Court races.

00:03:42.660 And I still think it is crazy that we elect judges anywhere, but we do.

00:03:47.880 And because of the way Georgia's judicial elections work, these races tomorrow aren't primaries.

00:03:53.240 This is it.

00:03:53.900 Whoever wins these races tomorrow is going to end up on the Georgia Supreme Court.

00:03:58.360 Now, Georgia's Supreme Court is technically nonpartisan, but right now that court is dominated by conservatives who were appointed by Republican governors.

00:04:06.080 Two of those Republican appointees are up for re-election tomorrow.

00:04:10.640 And no sitting Georgia Supreme Court justice has lost a re-election challenge in over a century.

00:04:18.780 But tomorrow, there are two candidates who are making a really strong effort to try to do just that.

00:04:25.400 Their names are Miracle Rankin and Jen Jordan.

00:04:29.440 They both have gotten big endorsements from people like former President Barack Obama,

00:04:34.360 former Vice President Kamala Harris.

00:04:36.960 If those two challengers win, it would not only change the composition of the Georgia

00:04:42.560 State Supreme Court, which is a huge deal in its own right, but it would also, I think,

00:04:47.540 change the way Georgia voters think about Supreme Court elections going forward.

00:04:50.680 It would also be a big sign of Democratic enthusiasm in a really important state where

00:04:55.180 both the governorship and the U.S. Senate are up for grabs this year. In terms of early voting,

00:05:00.880 already more than a million people have voted early in Georgia. Democrats have outpaced

00:05:05.520 Republicans by about 15 percent of the votes cast. I'll say that again. Democrats have outpaced

00:05:12.040 Republicans by 15 percent of the votes cast in early voting already. It's going to be fascinating

00:05:17.380 to watch this one. Polls close 7 p.m. Eastern time tomorrow in Georgia. Watch this space.

00:05:22.100 tuesday 19 may in the year of our lord 2026 uh it's election day uh commonwealth of kentucky

00:05:31.200 state of georgia idaho others we're going to um cover this all throughout the day we're going to

00:05:37.840 go to georgia particularly off the talking about the bunker the secret bunker in uh fulton county

00:05:44.020 so we got all the players associated with that are going to be on this morning we're going to

00:05:47.880 talk about Georgia we're going to start in Texas um the uh Caroline Wren and not all these are

00:05:54.980 perfect I realize there's some that are that are you know personal vendettas and you know some are

00:05:59.220 about policy but uh as one of the people in the engine room told me watching the cold open it's

00:06:05.860 not so much being outside the current it's getting caught in the undertow of the riptide is it not

00:06:11.600 ma'am certainly and that's what happened to bill cassidy i mean this was a resounding defeat of a

00:06:18.720 two-term incumbent senator bill cassidy who mustered i believe only 25 five percent of the

00:06:24.420 primary vote he didn't even make the runoff he came in third and i i will say that the grassroots

00:06:29.240 but particularly maha played a huge role in this complete shellacking of cassidy in louisiana this

00:06:35.140 was a vote that took place five and a half years ago but people do not forget when you betray 0.91

00:06:39.660 President Trump when you, I believe, betray democracy in the way that he did, primary voters

00:06:45.140 don't forget that, nor should they. And so I was thrilled to see him go. He needed to go. And so

00:06:49.980 it's a big win for the MAGA movement. And yes, I mean, today we have primaries in Alabama, Georgia,

00:06:56.580 Idaho, Kentucky, Oregon, Pennsylvania, and then all eyes turn to the runoff in Texas, which is

00:07:03.080 next Tuesday. But the early vote. Give me a minute on Make America Healthy Again. We had Tony Lyons

00:07:09.520 on last night, this. But Politico and the New York Times spent the last two weeks telling us

00:07:15.580 that it's a flop, and the Washington Post too. It's a flop. It's a failure. When you talk to

00:07:20.940 voters, it's all an internet phenomenon and on the war room. But other than that, it doesn't

00:07:26.380 move the needle. It has no power on Capitol Hill and certainly no stroke in these primaries.

00:07:32.740 What does Cassidy tell us about that, ma'am? Well, that's absolutely, I think the Maha movement 0.91

00:07:38.500 has huge, huge power. It had a huge power in the massive popular vote win that President Trump had.

00:07:44.680 Then also, you know, Kennedy's doing a great job in the role. We're seeing a ton of movement out

00:07:48.420 of there. And in Louisiana, this was a particular battle for the Maha movement. Bill Cassidy had

00:07:54.260 been against everything that the Maha movement stood for. You know, he did end up voting for 1.00

00:07:58.240 Kennedy, but not after, you know, having to put us through the ringer during that confirmation vote,

00:08:02.640 but he's still just been obstructing the Maha movement at every moment. And so the Maha movement,

00:08:06.860 i think really turned out and said no we don't want you anymore and they showed their power that

00:08:11.680 they could play the thing about the maha movement is they have power to play not only in primaries 0.99

00:08:15.920 but also in general elections making them a very very lethal movement in this country 0.99

00:08:20.420 the hill story lead story because here's what's so shocking about it it's not simply that a sitting

00:08:26.960 senator was defeated a city senator in the south right because you know how they lock in down there

00:08:32.160 the uh he finished third he did not make the runoff that is what so i think people are stunned

00:08:39.100 about the hill newspaper today had an article about how john tune in the republican conference

00:08:45.060 and stephen law those guys are shocked right beyond belief that they because they thought

00:08:50.300 worst case he'll get in the runoff and it'll be let low uh you know in in the in the uh in the

00:08:55.840 runoff uh like they helped cornyn did but they they he didn't didn't even come close to making

00:09:00.780 the runoff, ma'am. Of course, I know they're probably shocked, but the thing is, there's

00:09:05.660 no movement behind those folks. There's no movement behind preserving the Senate rules

00:09:09.820 and preserving the filibuster. All they have behind them is money. And, you know, they didn't

00:09:14.260 spend as much money as I expected them to on Cassidy. I think they kind of saw the writing

00:09:18.340 on the wall with the, I guess, polling numbers, but also they've also wasted so much money in

00:09:24.760 Texas, that their resources can only stretch so far. But with Cassidy, I mean, he really had no

00:09:31.540 chance. And even, I think in the clip that you were playing in the beginning, they talk about

00:09:35.440 how almost every senator that voted to impeach Trump is now gone, except for now Murkowski and

00:09:40.560 Collins. Well, don't forget, Murkowski lost her primary, right? So she actually was defeated in

00:09:44.960 the primary. She just ended up running a write-in campaign that she was able to win. So I would

00:09:51.120 actually put that in the category of being defeated in a primary yeah she ran as an independent that 1.00

00:09:56.480 funky way they do it up in Alaska um talk let's pivot to the let's not bury the lead the 150 0.99

00:10:01.440 million dollars that has everybody's attention and has uh the MAGA movement outrage in Texas

00:10:07.820 Cornyn yesterday admitted he doesn't think the he doesn't think a Trump endorsement is coming

00:10:12.840 his quote was that ship has sailed do you buy that I certainly hope so and that ship should have

00:10:20.180 sailed. It should have sailed from the moment he tried to, he defended Lisa Monaco and every other

00:10:25.060 foe that Donald Trump has had. And the entire closing argument from the Corning campaign as

00:10:29.180 allies is that Paxton is unelectable in general. And I just want to take a moment to point out

00:10:34.060 how preposterous that is. I mean, the Democrats need to pick up four seats for majority. They're

00:10:38.760 also defending three seats in Georgia, Michigan, and New Hampshire. And so when you go to look up

00:10:43.640 those four pickup seats, I was actually watching David Axelrod said this. He said, there's no way

00:10:48.080 we should play in Texas or we're going to play in Texas. It's too expensive. They're better off

00:10:51.800 trying to play in Alaska or Ohio or Nebraska or Iowa, which are much, much cheaper. But the

00:10:57.840 Democrats have learned this lesson. They poured millions behind Colin Allred and Beto, got them

00:11:02.840 nowhere in Texas. Texas is a deep red state. I don't care if it's Paxton or Cornyn, the Republican

00:11:08.240 nominee is going to win, which leads us to the point of why you should then vote for Ken Paxton.

00:11:12.120 There is no reason why John Cornyn deserves a fifth term from Texans.

00:11:17.620 He cannot point to any legislative accomplishments that he has done over those four terms.

00:11:22.400 And it's time to have some new blood in someone like Ken Paxton, who is unshackled from the corporate money, from the D.C. establishment.

00:11:29.040 And so that is why I'm just hoping and praying that Paxton has a big victory coming up next Tuesday.

00:11:33.500 And the number one thing the war room posse needs to be doing is calling and texting every single person they know in Texas, remind them about this runoff and tell them that they've got to vote for Ken Paxton.

00:11:43.440 Yeah, it's all about turnout. The turnout is absolutely important here for the grassroots.

00:11:49.160 Doesn't this all point back to John Thune, though, the Save America Act?

00:11:52.280 You came up with this great idea that Ken Paxson jumped on, that Ken Paxson would actually jump out of the race if Cornyn got the Save America, if he got really in the grill of John Thune and got the Save America Act.

00:12:04.600 Of course, that thing died.

00:12:05.400 It was all performative.

00:12:06.680 And they're lying to President Trump.

00:12:08.480 Isn't time, because I think we're going to hold the House because of the great work of you and Alex DeGrasse on being Bomber Command and doing these redistricting, which was a trench warfare, Brian Harris and the folks in Texas.

00:12:20.440 I actually feel pretty good about the House, given that hopefully the economic situation won't worsen with these interest rates.

00:12:28.700 But the Senate, I just don't see, I don't see anybody.

00:12:31.040 As I go around the country or have people and talk, you know, have these meetings after the show,

00:12:34.700 I don't see any enthusiasm on a mass basis for the grassroots to turn out for these senators.

00:12:40.380 I think we can actually lose the Senate no matter how much money they've got.

00:12:44.720 Isn't the way we counter that, isn't it to remove John Thune as leader and to do it ASAP?

00:12:50.440 You know, when Cornyn made his comment yesterday about how, oh, that ship has sailed with the Trump endorsement, I'm like, actually, it hasn't sailed.

00:12:57.340 Paxson literally handed you a way to be the captain of the ship, and it was get Save America passed, and I will step aside and let you be the next senator.

00:13:05.820 And John Cornyn refused to be a captain of that ship, refused to try and get his colleagues.

00:13:10.000 He changed his own personal opinion, which he didn't actually change it.

00:13:12.980 He just pandered.

00:13:13.860 But he wasn't able to go convince his colleagues.

00:13:15.620 And so we still now are months down the road without the Save America Act passed.

00:13:20.220 And I think that's preposterous.

00:13:21.520 And so I love what Trump is doing right now where he's saying, all right, fine.

00:13:24.660 How about you attach it to the must-pass FISA bill or the must-pass housing bill?

00:13:28.960 And I hope Trump doesn't try to attach it to those things and say, no, I'm not going

00:13:31.980 to sign these bills on my desk unless you put the Save America Act language on there

00:13:35.280 because it is the most important piece of legislation, not only to President Trump,

00:13:39.140 but to the integrity of our elections in this country.

00:13:42.140 And John Cornyn did absolutely nothing to try and get his Senate colleagues on board.

00:13:47.180 and he could have cut a deal with John Thune and said,

00:13:50.100 let's deliver the votes for President Trump.

00:13:51.960 Let's nuke the filibuster and pass the Save America Act.

00:13:54.600 And he didn't.

00:13:55.320 He wasn't able to do it.

00:13:56.220 So you're right.

00:13:56.780 Now the ship has sailed.

00:13:58.220 But don't blame President Trump for that.

00:14:00.000 We tried to give you a lifeline, Senator Cornyn, and you didn't take it.

00:14:04.200 Okay, can you hang on for one second?

00:14:05.700 I know you got to bounce.

00:14:06.540 I just want to hold you through commercial break for a moment.

00:14:11.380 With Thune, we don't have, he keeps up, we don't have 60 votes.

00:14:14.020 We don't have 51 votes, but we got 27 votes.

00:14:19.200 Caroline came up with Paxson, this amazing offer to Cornyn to get Save America Act,

00:14:26.360 Save the Save America Act passed, and Ken Paxson would drop out.

00:14:31.660 He didn't really put any effort, didn't happen.

00:14:34.240 The president says, hey, you got to attach it now to must-pass legislation,

00:14:37.500 like FISA and all these other must-pass pieces of legislation.

00:14:41.020 Thune hasn't done that.

00:14:41.860 He's not going to do it.

00:14:42.580 It's time now to remove, you're going to lose the Senate, flat out, done, unless Stoon is removed as leader.

00:14:53.160 You got 27 votes, remove the leader, put somebody else in, get some energy.

00:14:57.360 Short break.

00:14:59.600 The American health care system is broken.

00:15:02.920 And for most Americans, nothing changes.

00:15:05.580 There's still delays, denials, high cost insurance roadblocks.

00:15:08.940 So when I find people doing things differently, I talk about it.

00:16:22.460 The dollar's convertibility into gold ended in 1971.

00:16:26.980 Gold was fixed at $35 an ounce.

00:16:30.420 Well, fast forward to today, and the U.S. dollar has lost over 85% of its purchasing power.

00:16:37.320 Gold, on the other hand, is increased in value by over 12,000%.

00:16:41.940 That's why central banks are buying gold at record levels.

00:16:45.860 That's why major firms like Vanguard and BlackRock hold significant positions in gold.

00:16:51.520 And that's why I encourage you to consider diversifying your savings with physical gold from Birch Gold Group.

00:18:51.980 There's no pressure, no BS, just straightforward, honest help from fellow patriots.

00:18:57.460 So don't wait.

00:18:58.300 Call 845-WAR-WROOM right now.

00:19:00.160 That's 845-WAR-WROOM.

00:19:01.900 Tell them Bannon sent you.

00:19:03.840 Now, listen, in the first couple of days of the launch of this company with the War and Posse, Posse members saved tens and up to hundreds of thousands collectively of dollars in these fees.

00:19:15.040 Go check it out today. That's chapter. Call 845-WAR-ROOM. Do it today.

00:19:21.340 War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Mann.

00:19:24.560 Subject to the time, it is 19 May, year of our Lord, 2026.

00:19:30.740 In 19 May, the year of our Lord, 1536.

00:19:34.940 That would be 490 years ago today. 0.72

00:19:39.060 Anne Boleyn, the witch that was the mother of Elizabeth I

00:19:44.100 and had Henry VIII walk away from his 19-year marriage to Catherine of Aragon,

00:19:50.140 was executed, beheaded in London today.

00:19:55.180 That's the tower, I think.

00:19:57.300 We get to more of that in the implications and the impact

00:19:59.620 and Anne Boleyn's impact on American history.

00:20:03.820 How's that? 0.93

00:20:05.640 Caroline Wren, South Carolina, ma'am.

00:20:10.560 So today is day three of the South Carolina special session.

00:20:14.140 The special session was called by Governor McMaster

00:20:16.420 to get redistricting passed.

00:20:18.240 And yesterday, the Democrats in the House,

00:20:19.860 They put up over 600 amendments in a not so naked effort to delay the redistricting bill.

00:20:25.040 And thankfully, the Republicans in the statehouse called their bluff, changed up the rules late last night to expedite the process.

00:20:31.740 And so today they will continue the debate.

00:20:33.980 But the redistricting bill is expected to pass tomorrow morning and head over to the Senate.

00:20:38.400 The Senate is where we had problems.

00:20:40.860 But, you know, I don't expect that this time.

00:20:42.940 The Senate will debate it on Wednesday and Thursday.

00:20:44.940 should probably go to a vote on Friday, and then we're hopeful that it could pass either Sunday or Monday.

00:20:52.980 And when we had trouble with the state Senate before, you had to get two-thirds of the majority to pass it.

00:20:58.440 This time around, we only need a straight-up majority, which we have more than enough votes for that.

00:21:02.320 And so I'm now very, very optimistic about South Carolina, feeling very, very good about it.

00:21:08.920 Seems some of these state senators really heard from the war room posse and are not really causing many problems.

00:21:14.940 So I think we're looking good in South Carolina.

00:21:17.100 So it's a good update.

00:21:18.560 But we ought to stay at the ramparts.

00:21:20.660 And what a magnificent thing to accomplish over Memorial Day.

00:21:24.400 You could not honor.

00:21:25.900 Right.

00:21:26.600 You cannot honor our war heroes who gave their lives for this republic.

00:21:30.840 Just amazing.

00:21:32.260 Caroline Wren, where do people go for bomber command?

00:21:35.060 We always have to be, particularly this week, folks, early voting.

00:21:38.920 Scott Pressler is down there.

00:21:40.260 Early voting has started in Texas.

00:21:42.680 It's everything.

00:21:43.500 We have to have turnout there.

00:21:44.680 Caroline Wren, where do we go?

00:21:47.460 It's at Caroline Wren on X, True Social, and Getter.

00:21:51.880 Ma'am, thank you so much.

00:21:53.340 Amazing.

00:21:54.140 Absolutely incredible.

00:21:56.400 So, Garland Favarito, we're going to have the lieutenant governor candidate, hopefully, Greg Doversal, who's, I think, the guy doing the suit.

00:22:07.180 But tell us, you know, Paul Sperry and others came out yesterday, this bunker.

00:22:12.440 How can this happen in Georgia?

00:22:14.680 How can there be something, as you put up yesterday magnificently, against Georgia state

00:22:20.780 code and absolutely breaks the law, given all the problems we've had in Georgia?

00:22:25.420 You had the director of national intelligence down there overseeing a transfer of evidence

00:22:31.740 that which Abby Lowell and Norm Eisen went to court and spent millions of dollars trying

00:22:35.780 to get it back.

00:22:36.680 And they told the judge, we're going to destroy it as soon as we get it.

00:22:39.920 This thing in Georgia is so out of control.

00:22:43.080 I get literally texts and calls from people all over the world, not just the national audience of the war room, the international audience going, what is going on?

00:22:51.960 You know, we go through the airport in Georgia.

00:22:53.960 It's a renowned state where you get global television coverage of the Masters.

00:22:58.780 People love Georgia. 0.99

00:23:00.320 But this thing is like a third world banana republic, sir. 0.55

00:23:06.060 Steve, I wish I had a great answer for you, but I don't.

00:23:09.220 Basically, he has been violating the law ever since he first went on to the system, and he bought this $100 million system that violated two statutes right up until two weeks ago when he was actually doing his own election challenge, adjudicating his own election challenge, which also violates the law as well.

00:23:35.520 So it is just really something that has continued, and I think the reason, Steve, is because

00:23:42.480 there is a collusion between this Republican Secretary of State and the Democrats in Fulton

00:23:47.720 County.

00:23:48.660 So the Democrat judges in Fulton have covered up for Ravensburg and protected him, and he

00:23:56.200 has then protected them, as you know, in regards to all the election activity, which appear

00:24:03.240 to be absolutely criminal that occurred dating back to 2020. When you say actually criminal,

00:24:11.480 I mean, this is the reason the FBI and DNI were down there. And the reason the judge, I guess,

00:24:16.260 came on our side for this evidentiary hearing. What do you hear about? Because this is just

00:24:20.720 more crimes. I mean, they're committing more crimes in broad daylight. When do you think

00:24:25.520 this thing is going to be brought to head? Do you have any idea? You're one of the major

00:24:28.700 plaintiffs in all this. You're one of the major witnesses in all this. Do you have any feel for

00:24:33.360 how this is going to be brought to you? Because now we're through another primary, right? And

00:24:36.980 nothing's happened. Well, right. This particular issue, I think, will be brought to a head today

00:24:44.860 on the secret bunker because right now, I believe as we speak, the hearing has started.

00:24:54.060 Judge Glanville has granted the petitioner's attorney, David Alls, a hearing to make his

00:25:02.000 case, even though Secretary Ravensburger's attorney will not be there for five days.

00:25:08.020 He requested five days, and the judge has granted an emergency hearing because of irreparable

00:25:13.340 harm that will be done to Senator Dozal, as well as Chris Mora, a congressional candidate

00:25:20.100 in the 11th district, and a commission candidate there in Cobb County, Kelly Gambrell, they're all

00:25:26.940 on this lawsuit. And they are being backed up in part by the new congressman, Clay Fuller,

00:25:34.520 out of the 14th, who has requested congressional observers for this selection. So hopefully,

00:25:41.940 all of this pressure, and thanks again to the war room posse, hopefully all of this will 0.68

00:25:46.800 result in forcing Secretary Ravensburger to actually follow Georgia election law,

00:25:54.680 which clearly states that all election officials have to perform their duties in public.

00:26:02.100 Garland, is there good news to take out of here in that both Ravensburger and Chris Carr,

00:26:07.600 and the attorney general here was just as bad, both of those guys are running for governor?

00:26:12.900 Are they finished? I hear they're finishing a distant third, fourth, or fifth.

00:26:16.160 So are Georgia Republicans on to what they've done and not supporting them?

00:26:23.120 Yes. Hang on. Hang on. We're going to cut to the president right now. Live. Let's go. Thanks.

00:26:28.860 You'll see some interesting things. And I'll show that to you in a second. You want to grab that, please?

00:26:33.980 I'll show that to you in a second. The facade of the building.

00:26:39.600 There will never be another building like this built. I built a lot of great things.

00:26:43.900 But there will never be anything like this, Bill.

00:26:47.200 And what we have is the roof is dead flat with absolutely nothing but strength on it.

00:26:52.240 It's very strong steel.

00:26:54.180 It's drone-proof, and it's meant for our military to be able to stay on it.

00:26:58.460 You get a view of Washington.

00:27:00.500 Also, for the drone-building capacity, some of that takes place right down here.

00:27:06.620 You can see the very large piping and the other things, and it's a very complex building.

00:27:13.560 all knit together the roof goes with the ground floor the ground floor goes with the roof the

00:27:19.960 roof also goes down into the basement everything is connected intertwined elevators heating air

00:27:26.440 conditioning it's one building that's why we're trying to explain that this is one well knit

00:27:32.120 building one doesn't one thing doesn't work without the other uh very importantly though

00:27:37.960 in terms of the beauty probably the closest thing to this would be the u.s supreme court the facade

00:27:44.440 of the u.s supreme court so here's a couple of uh things you can look at

00:27:53.080 how are you all right there will never be another thing like this i don't believe built from a

00:28:00.040 court standpoint uh this is all my money and donors money this is tax-free so everyone's

00:28:07.240 talking about they're going to give money, they're going to give money. The money they're going to

00:28:10.480 give is really for the security of that and the whole White House premise. And I guess you probably

00:28:16.980 need that nowadays. We've done the fencing on the outside of the White House. It's all titanium.

00:28:23.220 You see the black fencing. That's been just done recently. And it was approved originally by me.

00:28:29.340 And it's been completed. And it's very powerful. Very powerful. A tractor, a bulldozer cannot knock

00:28:35.420 it over it goes down deep and it's titanium which is the strongest of all of the metals

00:28:40.080 much stronger than steel as an example the ballroom is all it's going to be a tremendous

00:28:47.080 tremendous thing as an example what happened a couple of weeks ago at the white house

00:28:52.060 correspondent said it could not happen here one thing that we have is we don't have people

00:28:56.700 living above it we don't want that that's no good way they have a thousand units above it

00:29:01.420 with the elevator coming right down next to where the convention or whatever it may be is so

00:29:06.940 this is a room that's been wanted for 150 years by presidents we have no room to have an event

00:29:14.940 the only way you can have an event is if you build a tent on the lawn and the tent would not

00:29:19.160 do the job and by the way if it rains here because this is built on a wetland the lawn is

00:29:24.680 is impossible to deal with the water goes over everybody's shoes it literally goes over the

00:29:30.660 So, and they've had a lot of catastrophes with the tent.

00:29:36.200 So we have this, and if you take a look at this section, this is the different facade.

00:29:43.360 So this is a Greek, more or less, it comes out of Greece.

00:29:49.880 This is the ultimate facade for Greece.

00:29:53.080 This faces the treasury building.

00:29:55.320 faces this is a different facade that's rome and that faces the uh washington monument the lincoln

00:30:03.080 memorial etc so you have two facades primarily you have two entrances you have here you have here

00:30:09.720 but the primary entrance is through the white house directly through the white house

00:30:14.440 and it's really something i think you can see the complexity all of these columns go directly

00:30:19.720 up to the roof and the roof is a barrier it's a shield because it's made out of the sidewalls

00:30:26.860 or steel impenetrable steel and also impenetrable glass the glass is approximately four inches thick

00:30:35.920 and yet it's amazing you can see through it as though it didn't exist it's amazing

00:30:40.760 and it can stop just about anything just about anything on the other side of the glass we have

00:30:48.380 steel and concrete so that the glass is very powerful what's holding the glass is equally as

00:30:56.060 powerful and that's here you can see they're just about ready to go up to the top all of these

00:31:01.640 columns they go directly right to the roof of the building and again we call it a drone port

00:31:06.760 it's set up for unlimited numbers of drones purposely we don't have any air conditioning

00:31:14.240 equipment up there because we don't want anything coming down through the pipes if anybody gets

00:31:19.760 normally you'd have a lot of air conditioning equipment on the roof we built it all inside

00:31:25.360 the building inside the case of the building because we don't want to have anything having

00:31:29.680 to do with air or air quality or any problems playing with the air so you'll notice it's a

00:31:35.520 dead flat roof with no equipment on it all of the equipment is inside of the building

00:31:42.720 and that's for safety reasons normally you do a lot less expensive you do it a different way

00:31:48.400 so all of this was paid for by myself and because i keep hearing like i'm not we are making a gift of

00:31:55.600 this boy this is a gift this is not going to be paid for by the taxpayer that we have a judge that

00:32:00.800 thinks it's a terrible thing that we're making a gift he said it's terrible that we're making a

00:32:05.200 gift that should be paid for by the taxpayer that's one i've never heard before but i'm sure

00:32:10.160 Or maybe, I don't know, maybe he doesn't understand.

00:32:12.720 This is a gift to the United States of America.

00:32:16.400 And more than a gift, it's going to be one of the

00:32:19.140 most beautiful buildings that's ever been built

00:32:21.740 in the country or in Washington, D.C.

00:32:24.500 So here's the other façade you see over here.

00:32:27.840 And again, this is taking these great classical

00:32:32.220 buildings, they're taken out of different parts

00:32:34.560 of the world from very glamorous times.

00:32:37.120 This is Rome.

00:32:38.620 They like the flat roof.

00:32:40.380 Greece likes the — they call it the triangles.

00:32:43.560 And you see that.

00:32:45.600 This is a porch that looks out over the city.

00:32:50.240 Also, it's developed in such a way

00:32:52.160 that we can have military there.

00:32:54.100 But the entire roof is developed for military.

00:32:58.240 They're very high.

00:32:59.080 They're higher than just about anything else.

00:33:01.640 They have a 360-degree vision of Washington, D.C.

00:33:06.080 They have a massive drone capacity,

00:33:08.180 Not only is it drone proof, if a drone hits it,

00:33:11.320 it bounces off.

00:33:12.780 It won't have any impact.

00:33:14.660 But it's also meant as a drone port,

00:33:17.960 so it protects all of Washington,

00:33:20.260 the roof of the building.

00:33:22.320 Okay?

00:33:23.520 Now, does anybody have any questions?

00:33:26.400 If you want, you can take the ...

00:33:28.900 I think you can bring your camera down.

00:33:31.040 But you might want to take a look at the complexity.

00:33:34.180 These are all different rooms down here.

00:33:35.980 They're building a hospital.

00:33:37.920 They're building — it's a military hospital.

00:33:40.520 They're building all sorts of research facilities,

00:33:44.660 also meeting rooms and rooms that go hand-in-hand

00:33:48.340 for the military, using the ballroom.

00:33:51.360 And the ballroom is really a shield

00:33:53.700 and protecting all of the things that are built here.

00:33:56.900 This goes — as you see, it's already up to the ground.

00:34:01.080 This goes down very deep.

00:34:03.020 You get a better view right over here.

00:34:04.640 This is down because we've already done these floors.

00:34:08.940 But these are already down two floors.

00:34:10.820 That is down about six stories deep.

00:34:13.880 That's big stuff.

00:34:15.460 Normally, when you build a ballroom, you build it flat.

00:34:17.820 You just build a ballroom.

00:34:18.880 It would have been built.

00:34:20.320 The complexity of this, and again, it's all knit.

00:34:23.660 It's all knit together between the drone proofing,

00:34:26.820 the missile proofing, we have,

00:34:29.200 and the drone capacity upstairs.

00:34:31.440 We can have all sorts of military up with it.

00:34:34.040 I hate to use the word snipers,

00:34:36.640 but we have great sniper capacity.

00:34:38.340 It's built for our snipers, not the enemy snipers,

00:34:41.520 our snipers.

00:34:42.840 And because of the height, we get a very clear view

00:34:46.180 of everything all over Washington.

00:34:48.160 Yeah.

00:34:48.660 The Press, Mr. President,

00:34:49.660 you mentioned that this is being paid for out of pocket.

00:34:52.620 But why is Congress in touch?

00:34:54.600 It's going to put up a difference

00:34:55.560 where Congress is with a billion dollars.

00:34:57.600 The President is approving money for security.

00:35:00.960 It may go, some of it may go here for additional security.

00:35:03.740 I don't know.

00:35:04.640 But Congress is approving money.

00:35:06.580 But this building, I mean, I put up the money

00:35:09.740 to build this building, along with a lot of great patriots.

00:35:12.620 People have put up a lot of money to build the building.

00:35:16.220 And we have a building that is going to be,

00:35:19.120 I think it's going to be potentially the most beautiful

00:35:21.960 building in all of Washington.

00:35:24.100 And with that is great military capacity.

00:35:27.260 We're building it in conjunction

00:35:29.400 with the United States military and the Secret Service.

00:35:32.100 Well, they have a budget in Secret Service and the military to do some of the work that

00:35:41.160 you see right here.

00:35:42.620 So the answer is, I think they want to enhance what you see.

00:35:47.940 It's very powerful.

00:35:48.940 You see what's happening.

00:35:49.940 It's very powerful concrete.

00:35:51.820 It's 9,000-pound concrete that, if you know anything about a contract, that's very, very

00:35:56.820 strong.

00:35:57.820 That's very strong concrete.

00:35:59.580 they probably want to enhance the area they're going to spend money this is a very sacred piece

00:36:05.840 of land this is the white house and they want to do things but all of everything that you see and

00:36:11.820 the money that's being put up to build the ballroom and again the ballroom it's necessary for the

00:36:19.000 ballroom to be built with what you see over here it's all knit in the air conditioning the heating

00:36:26.000 the drone capacity, the shield, you know, a lot of things going on downstairs, and some

00:36:35.680 of it you see. This goes down six stories. You see three stories because it's already

00:36:40.700 been built. This will be very shortly. This will be in the form of the roof goes along

00:36:48.840 these lines basically it goes outside you see where the wood is you're going outside of that

00:36:56.620 line and then it goes straight up and it's all protection and everything's together you can't

00:37:02.880 build one without the other and what we have is we have the safest building ever built in my opinion

00:37:10.180 you can have and you know the other thing is when we're right on budget we're right on plan

00:37:17.860 the only budget change would be that we doubled the size at the request of the military we doubled

00:37:23.300 the size but we're right on budget right on plan and uh originally we're going to build a much

00:37:29.640 smaller room and it wouldn't have done the job it just wouldn't have done the job you have too many

00:37:33.380 events like if we have president and she coming here we have no place to put them we had the king

00:37:38.800 and the Queen the other day and we had a thousand people wanted and we had we ended up having 100

00:37:45.280 people sitting in a very small room so they've been after this for a long time but maybe more

00:37:50.880 important is the safety element this is a shield that protects everything that's inside everything

00:37:56.640 that's on top and you know obviously the white house was built in 1792 uh yeah it's awfully hard

00:38:05.600 it's awfully hard to do that kind of a capacity that we've done here.

00:38:09.760 So this will give future presidents, but you have to understand,

00:38:13.000 when this is finished, my term ends shortly after that.

00:38:18.380 This is really for other presidents. This is not for me.

00:38:21.360 This is my gift to the United States of America.

00:38:24.440 I'm going to be able to use it very little, because when it's finished,

00:38:27.540 we're talking about six or seven months.

00:38:29.880 But it will be used for hopefully hundreds of years for other presidents.

00:38:34.260 And there will never be anything like this built again.

00:38:37.380 There'll never be a room built like with the safety.

00:38:40.020 As an example, if we had the White House

00:38:43.260 Correspondents' Dinner here, it would have been no problem.

00:38:47.140 Sir, sir, you said that this will be when it opens,

00:38:50.660 six, seven minutes.

00:38:52.040 Have you thought about the first event?

00:38:56.640 I have. I have. I better not tell you about that, Daniel.

00:38:59.860 But, yeah, we have everybody wants to be here for the first event.

00:39:03.140 We're talking about heads of nation.

00:39:06.300 So we have some very special places that it could happen for them.

00:39:11.820 You know, we have, literally, if the king and queen were, you know, if we had this finished,

00:39:19.420 we would have had an event that would have been ten times a session.

00:39:23.380 I mean, we literally were in a little room in the White House.

00:39:26.380 Presidents, now we're not even talking about safety, presidents have been asking for this

00:39:30.900 literally from the time the White House has been built.

00:39:33.960 But on record, for 150 years, they've said,

00:39:37.600 what about a big room?

00:39:38.740 And you all know, you probably attended,

00:39:40.520 they have some where they use tents.

00:39:43.080 If it rains, it's a disaster.

00:39:44.680 The Pressure Pressure Pressure Pressure Pressure Pressure

00:39:47.680 You mentioned that this is going to be a gift to America.

00:39:49.820 The Pressure Pressure Pressure Pressure Pressure

00:39:50.960 Yeah.

00:39:52.260 The Pressure Pressure Pressure Pressure

00:39:54.920 We will have to have a safe country.

00:39:56.400 We have to have a great country. 0.84

00:39:57.820 We have to make sure that Iran doesn't get a nuclear weapon.

00:40:00.460 all of the things that you see me fighting for so hard.

00:40:03.700 And it's always tough.

00:40:04.560 You know, we're negotiating with Iran,

00:40:06.640 and then you have the Democrats, I call them the Democrats,

00:40:09.640 putting in a bill that Trump should immediately stop.

00:40:12.540 You know how it is to negotiate with a country

00:40:15.340 where you're beating them badly, they come to the table, 0.99

00:40:18.640 they're begging to make a deal,

00:40:20.020 because they're begging to make a deal.

00:40:21.640 I hope we don't have to do the war,

00:40:23.080 but we may have to give them another big hit. 0.95

00:40:25.420 We may have to give them another big hit.

00:40:27.120 I'm not sure yet.

00:40:28.920 you'll know very soon but how do you feel when you're negotiating you're winning every point

00:40:34.520 and they say but in washington they want to stop you from negotiating they want to stop you 0.98

00:40:40.980 and it's only political it's the democrats they're dumb it's a new name it's a very accurate name so 0.98

00:40:48.200 i'm in the middle of a negotiation i'm saying you cannot have a nuclear weapon and it comes over 0.99

00:40:53.340 the wire that the Democrats want to stop Trump from further negotiations. They want to stop

00:41:00.260 Trump from, if he has to, giving them another slap. They want to have a nuclear weapon to blow up the 0.98

00:41:06.600 Middle East and to blow up, frankly, the world. It's not going to happen. Nice to see you, by the way.

00:41:12.220 How close were you striking around these? I was, I was, I was an hour away. We're all set to go.

00:41:21.680 You're talking about yesterday we were going to be striking very it would have been happening right now

00:41:26.880 Yeah, it was all done. The boats the ships are all loaded. They're loaded to the brim

00:41:31.840 And we're all set to start

00:41:37.840 They said that they feel they've had for the first time in almost

00:41:42.400 47 years, you know, iran's been the bully of the middle east for 47 years. I mean literally the bully of the middle east and 0.76

00:41:48.880 They're nasty, very nasty, very dangerous. 0.99

00:41:52.880 They wanted a nuclear weapon. 0.95

00:41:54.880 Had I not terminated Barack Hussein Obama's Iran nuclear deal, 0.76

00:41:58.880 had I not terminated it, see, that's the wind.

00:42:01.880 That can't happen with the real structure.

00:42:03.880 The Press, Mr. President, on Cuba.

00:42:05.880 On Cuba, what do you want to see from Cuba's government?

00:42:08.880 Or do you want to see the option of military action?

00:42:10.880 The President.

00:42:11.880 The President.

00:42:12.880 The President.

00:42:13.880 Well, we're going to see.

00:42:14.880 Look, Cuba is calling us. 0.70

00:42:15.880 They need help. 0.95

00:42:16.880 Cuba is a failed nation.

00:42:18.920 Cuba needs help.

00:42:20.480 And we'll do that.

00:42:21.680 Just hold them, though.

00:42:24.320 It's like an exercise game.

00:42:26.820 Give that to me.

00:42:27.420 I'll hold it.

00:42:28.720 I'll hold it.

00:42:31.500 It's so beautiful.

00:42:32.800 See, I look so thin.

00:42:34.240 They'll say, oh, it's gotten so thin

00:42:36.360 because I'm holding this.

00:42:37.840 You don't have to look at my waist.

00:42:39.140 You can look at this.

00:42:40.300 You saw enough of my waist

00:42:41.540 along with President Xi.

00:42:43.680 Are you confident that you can reach a diplomat?

00:42:46.980 With Cuba? I think so. Yeah, I think so.

00:42:49.760 We are — I am very prone toward the Cuban-Americans.

00:42:53.440 They've been incredible people.

00:42:55.240 Many of them have lost family members.

00:42:57.000 They've been very badly hurt themselves.

00:42:58.940 They've been in prison.

00:43:00.140 They've come to this country, and they've been very successful.

00:43:02.600 The Cuban-American people in Miami, I mean, they are amazing people.

00:43:06.320 Most of them are in Miami, in Florida, but mostly in Miami.

00:43:10.520 I'm very, very prone to helping them.

00:43:12.620 I mean, that's they've been I think I got 97 percent of that vote.

00:43:17.560 I want to help them.

00:43:19.400 Now, they have family members in Cuba.

00:43:21.660 They've been treated very, very badly.

00:43:23.460 They've been treated extremely badly.

00:43:25.000 And we're going to get that.

00:43:26.600 So that's not going to be hard for us to solve.

00:43:28.640 You can do that without changing the regime.

00:43:32.400 Well, I don't know about changing the regime.

00:43:33.980 I can do that whether you change a regime or not.

00:43:36.940 You know, it's been a rough regime.

00:43:38.180 They've they've killed a lot of people.

00:43:40.480 But it's a country that really needs help.

00:43:44.480 It has nothing.

00:43:45.180 They can't turn on the lights.

00:43:47.060 They can't eat.

00:43:48.420 We don't want to see that.

00:43:49.620 The Pressure, how much notice did the Gulf 0.99

00:43:51.560 Nations have that you were going through these

00:43:55.720 strikes before they asked you to pause?

00:43:58.800 The President, they called me over the last two

00:44:00.760 days to say they made a lot of progress.

00:44:03.240 Because we have them negotiating with us.

00:44:06.240 and primarily Saudi Arabia, Qatar, UAE, Kuwait a little bit,

00:44:12.180 and Bahrain, and some of the others.

00:44:14.720 And we have them negotiating with them.

00:44:16.620 We're all working together. It's like a team.

00:44:18.680 And Israel, of course, and Israel has been a great partner.

00:44:21.880 And so we are negotiating together.

00:44:24.700 I got a call from numerous of these people.

00:44:27.520 They know the people in Iran.

00:44:29.000 Don't forget, when you talk about regime change,

00:44:32.340 I think it's the ultimate regime change,

00:44:34.040 because the first level and the second level

00:44:36.640 are no longer with us.

00:44:37.740 They're someplace, but they're no longer with us.

00:44:40.020 So we have real regime change.

00:44:42.920 But I got a call yesterday, sir, could you wait?

00:44:46.660 We think we're close to a deal, and that's okay.

00:44:48.860 Now, I've heard it before with these people,

00:44:51.360 and they changed their mind.

00:44:52.320 I made deals with them, no nuclear.

00:44:54.820 We immediately get the nuclear dust.

00:44:56.920 And they said, you're the only one can get it,

00:44:58.740 because the bombers did such an unbelievable job

00:45:02.140 that the mountain literally collapsed on top of it.

00:45:05.300 They said us and they thought China would be the only two countries that could even get it.

00:45:09.720 But I think it's important to get it, maybe psychologically more than anything else.

00:45:13.720 How long did the Gulf nations know? How long did they know that you were playing with the Gulf nations?

00:45:20.460 They knew I was getting ready to attack. I didn't tell them. 0.64

00:45:22.900 I'd never tell anybody when.

00:45:24.380 You're in constant contact with them?

00:45:25.320 I'd never tell anybody when, but they knew that we were very close.

00:45:28.800 I would say we were — I was an hour away from making the decision to go today, and

00:45:35.580 we would probably not be talking about a beautiful ballroom today — we'd be talking

00:45:40.080 about that.

00:45:41.080 And, no, we were — I had made the decision.

00:45:45.240 So they called up.

00:45:46.240 They had heard I made the decision.

00:45:47.240 They said, sir, could you give us a couple of more days, because we think they're being

00:45:52.380 reasonable.

00:45:53.380 How long are the days for a ride to come to the ballroom?

00:45:56.380 I mean, I'm saying two or three days, maybe Friday, Saturday, Sunday, something, maybe early next week.

00:46:01.820 A limited period of time.

00:46:04.120 Because we can't let them have a nuclear weapon. 0.95

00:46:06.960 If they had a nuclear weapon, they would start with Israel. 0.90

00:46:10.760 They would blow it up. 0.99

00:46:12.040 And they would blow it up fast. 0.57

00:46:13.820 But they'd blow it up.

00:46:15.100 And I'll tell you what. 0.99

00:46:16.420 They'd go after Saudi Arabia. 0.99

00:46:18.600 They'd go after Kuwait. 0.99

00:46:21.380 They'd go after UAE. 0.99

00:46:23.280 They'd go after Qatar. 0.99

00:46:24.680 they go after I think they go after the entire Middle East and it would be a 0.93

00:46:29.560 whole different negotiation it would not be it would be it would be nuclear 0.97

00:46:33.620 Holocaust and there's no question in my mind that they'd use it there's no

00:46:39.440 question and I deal with these people they're extremely radicalized these are

00:46:45.060 not people like what I deal with you very nice guy these are people that are

00:46:50.520 seriously radicalized they would use it the only question would it be the first

00:46:55.620 minute the first hour or the first day I'm not doing this politically I'm there

00:47:07.600 look everyone tells me it's unpopular but I think it's very popular when you

00:47:12.000 when they hear that it's having to do with nuclear weapons weapons that could 0.51

00:47:17.200 take out Los Angeles could take out major cities very quick when they hear

00:47:22.360 that you know when they're explain I'll tell you what when we explain it to

00:47:26.260 people I don't really have enough time to explain to people I'm too busy getting

00:47:30.580 it done when they understand I think it's a very I think it's frankly very

00:47:35.200 popular but whether it's popular or not popular I have to do it because I'm not

00:47:40.300 gonna let the world be blown up with my watch it's not gonna happen

00:47:47.140 Do you think your candidate can beat him?

00:47:50.140 And what are you seeing?

00:47:51.140 Well, yeah.

00:47:52.140 Thomas Massey's a terrible congressman.

00:47:54.140 He's been a terrible congressman from day one. 0.98

00:47:57.140 Dealing with him is just horrible.

00:47:59.140 I don't think he's a Republican.

00:48:01.140 I think he's actually a Democrat.

00:48:03.140 He's not a libertarian.

00:48:05.140 You know, sometimes they say he's really a Democrat.

00:48:08.140 He votes against us all the time.

00:48:10.140 He voted against the border wall.

00:48:12.140 He voted against men playing in women's sports.

00:48:16.140 He voted against transgender for everybody. 1.00

00:48:19.600 The mutilization of your children. 1.00

00:48:21.760 He voted against, again, open borders.

00:48:24.660 We have the best border we've ever had right now.

00:48:26.900 Nobody's coming in.

00:48:27.900 I mean, a report just came out in the last 11 months, literally nobody has been allowed

00:48:33.180 into our country illegally.

00:48:34.800 We're taking people legally, they go through a process, but nobody's coming to our country. 1.00

00:48:39.780 But we've taken out hundreds of thousands of people. 0.99

00:48:43.320 We had 10,000, it was 10,800, 11,888 murders.

00:48:51.420 Many of these murders allowed into our country from prisons.

00:48:54.380 They were in prisons.

00:48:56.120 Many of these people killed more than one.

00:48:57.940 More than 50 percent killed more than one person.

00:49:01.640 This was gross malfeasance.

00:49:04.300 This was on behalf of the Biden administration.

00:49:06.400 I don't know Biden because I don't think he knew he was alive.

00:49:09.340 But she, Kamala, was the border czar.

00:49:12.260 She never called, not one time, she never called the border patrol.

00:49:16.940 She never called ICE.

00:49:18.280 She never called law enforcement.

00:49:19.900 She never went to the border.

00:49:21.440 Think of it.

00:49:22.440 I used to call every single day, and that's recently.

00:49:26.740 Now I call less.

00:49:27.740 We have nobody coming through. 0.86

00:49:29.220 We had caravans coming through with tens of thousands of people pouring into our country.

00:49:34.440 We had no idea who they were. 0.89

00:49:36.800 We would have been, I'll tell you what, our country would have been destroyed if they

00:49:41.380 won this election our country would have been we have now the hottest country anywhere in the world

00:49:46.740 if they had won the election our country would have been destroyed our country was a dead country

00:49:51.540 two years ago and now we have really the hottest country in the world and this is the ballroom and

00:49:57.620 it's going to be something incredible you see the quality of it and they go right those columns go

00:50:02.260 right into the roof and on top of the roof we're going to have the greatest drone empire that you've

00:50:07.460 ever seen and it's going to protect washington thank you all very much we have a little breakfast

00:50:13.460 for you really yeah where is the breakfast i'd have it where is it oh it's right over here

00:50:20.820 we have a little bit of a breakfast for you i figured i'd be nice to you for a change

00:50:28.020 that's great

00:50:37.460 well I think that it was great thousands of people showed up and it was a beautiful everything

00:50:44.300 beautiful day I did I did scripture you think it's easy to read scripture it's not easy to

00:50:50.180 read scripture that's a whole different ballgame that's not like reading a speech we will build

00:50:55.540 the wall this is a whole different deal but I did it proudly and I guess it was broadcast

00:51:02.600 we had tremendous stress I think religion is very important for a country I think having

00:51:07.320 really this country was was built largely on religion if you look it was built and when you

00:51:14.760 have strong religion you have less crime it's just a fact you know whatever it may be it's like gee i

00:51:20.860 want to go to heaven so i'm not going to do this or that who knows but we have a country that was

00:51:25.860 based on religion and i'm very proud of that and if you look and you see all of the polling i mean

00:51:32.520 polling is so fake but on this it's not fake religion is really going up in the last year

00:51:39.320 and during the time i mean really during the time i first got elected in 2016 it's a much

00:51:44.940 different thing i'm very proud of that religion is a good thing christianity it's a great thing

00:51:50.620 for our country i mean so many of our the things that we we've done the successes that we've had

00:51:57.240 have been based on Christianity and religion.

00:52:00.540 So I'm very proud of that.

00:52:02.480 Religion is taking off like our country is taking off.

00:52:05.940 Our country is hotter now than it's ever been. 0.99

00:52:08.020 And I'll tell you, religion is making a tremendous comeback.

00:52:11.520 You look at churches today, they're full.

00:52:14.360 You go back two, three years, nobody was going.

00:52:16.660 So we're very happy with it.

00:52:18.000 The Pressure Manchin, why do you think it's a main crime 1.00

00:52:20.500 that we see happening through the Jews as well? 1.00

00:52:23.240 The Pressure Manchin, no, I'm always concerned.

00:52:24.840 I see things happening.

00:52:26.760 Look, from the beginning of mankind, you've had that.

00:52:29.160 You've had the good and you had the bad.

00:52:30.860 I'd like to get rid of the bad, but somehow that's going to be there.

00:52:34.300 But the good has been many times what it was.

00:52:37.700 Really, many times what it was.

00:52:38.880 The Press Press on the ballroom.

00:52:40.200 If Congress is not going for this $1 billion for your security funding,

00:52:43.920 would you be willing or would you willing to go to your donors

00:52:46.140 to ask for that money?

00:52:47.480 The President Well, this is money for the whole premises,

00:52:50.280 including the East Wing.

00:52:51.860 This is the East Wing section.

00:52:53.780 But the ballroom is, as you see, it's going up.

00:52:56.840 It's ahead of schedule.

00:52:58.380 It's larger because they wanted more military capacity.

00:53:03.860 They wanted more drone capacity.

00:53:05.860 They needed a larger roof.

00:53:07.500 And, frankly, we needed a larger facility.

00:53:09.700 And so we're doing that.

00:53:11.100 And we've done this in strict coordination

00:53:13.640 with the military and with the Secret Service.

00:53:16.160 And they've been great to work with.

00:53:17.840 The money that they're talking about is the surrounding areas

00:53:20.900 and maybe enhancing some security aspects of the ballroom.

00:53:23.740 But the building, as you see, it's a very active site, and a lot of people are amazed.

00:53:30.380 And by the way, that floor goes down three floors, just so you understand.

00:53:33.440 You're seeing almost the top floor.

00:53:36.120 That floor goes down three floors, and there are many things in there having to do with security.

00:53:41.600 And many of those things are going to be taken from there and put onto the roof of the building,

00:53:46.720 and that has to do with drone and missile capacity.

00:53:49.760 A lot of the presidents have done renovations to the White House, to all these things.

00:53:53.880 Why do you think people are so mad about your renovations?

00:53:57.260 Because I'm doing it.

00:53:58.120 You've got Meridian Hill Park, you've got the water flowing again, all of it.

00:54:01.360 And they just seem to hate you for that.

00:54:03.100 Well, it's a sad thing, actually.

00:54:05.860 You know, you just, it's very nice.

00:54:07.520 I appreciate the question.

00:54:09.300 First I said, oh, this is going to be a negative question.

00:54:11.240 Then I heard, she's really saying, why do they hate you for fixing the water fountains?

00:54:15.540 So, you know, we have we have 40. I know I want because I want to see Washington to be beautiful to me

00:54:21.500 It's very important. But as an example, you mentioned the water fence

00:54:24.240 We didn't have one water fountain and I think we have 40. We didn't have one in Washington that worked and soon

00:54:31.220 They'll all be working many of them work right now and the I think one of the best things

00:54:37.380 Obama President Obama President Biden spent much more than a hundred million dollars on the reflecting lake

00:54:44.100 between the Lincoln Memorial and the Washington Monument they spent much more

00:54:49.920 they spent some people say 200 million you know what they got out of it a

00:54:53.580 closed lake it never opened and when it did it shut right away it leaked it was

00:54:58.620 a disaster I'm doing a job on the reflecting leg for a fraction of what

00:55:04.380 they paid now I've upgraded it very soon I got so into it I've upgraded it like

00:55:09.540 you wouldn't believe I'm doing all the walkways outside and you know I'm doing

00:55:12.900 i'm doing it properly but it's a much bigger job but you see it's happening now it's going to be

00:55:19.060 beautiful it's going to be waterproof it's going to be reflecting again i took over a dirty filthy

00:55:25.380 thing that wasn't open and it was disgusting and friends of mine would come to the lincoln or the

00:55:30.820 washington and they'd say sir it's disgusting i said what's disgusting the reflecting link

00:55:36.660 so i drove down i looked with with secretary bergham who's fantastic of interior he's fantastic

00:55:42.180 Again, we got together, and we have ...

00:55:45.360 It's under construction right now.

00:55:47.520 I want to get it open before July 4th,

00:55:49.420 which we'll easily be able to do.

00:55:51.080 It'll be open before that, but easily be able to do,

00:55:54.660 July 4th being a very special day.

00:55:57.000 And it is going to be beautiful.

00:55:58.600 Beautiful blue color, dark blue color.

00:56:01.600 It's very reflective.

00:56:02.860 I put a thing out yesterday showing the reflection.

00:56:05.680 We did a little test.

00:56:06.680 We wanted to see it.

00:56:07.440 It's unbelievable.

00:56:07.940 It's like a mirror.

00:56:08.600 Did it look good?

00:56:09.240 Did it work?

00:56:09.800 Well, it's like a mirror.

00:56:10.580 It's beautiful.

00:56:11.380 And I saw there was guys out there, almost like, are they hand-painting it?

00:56:14.880 Is that how they're doing it?

00:56:15.820 Yeah, well, they're fixing the stone outside, and they're sandblasting the stone.

00:56:20.500 We're doing a much bigger job than we wanted to do.

00:56:23.020 But think of it.

00:56:24.220 Obama and Biden spent over $100 million, and you know what they got?

00:56:27.900 Nothing.

00:56:28.820 They opened it up, and it leaked like a sieve, and they closed it, and it stayed closed.

00:56:33.160 They've been working on it for years.

00:56:34.940 I've been working on this for a couple of months.

00:56:36.720 When it's finished, it's going to be incredible.

00:56:38.620 But we have other fountains, beautiful fountains.

00:56:42.780 They haven't worked in 30 years.

00:56:45.180 They're just sitting there rotting, and most of them are now open.

00:56:48.840 And right across the street, I made a donation, and I'm building Lafayette Park.

00:56:53.340 Are you really?

00:56:54.000 And it's going to be beautiful.

00:56:54.780 How much was the donation?

00:56:56.340 How much was the donation to Lafayette?

00:56:57.180 I like her.

00:56:58.200 How much was the donation?

00:56:59.520 How much was the donation to Lafayette?

00:57:00.860 About $10 million.

00:57:01.820 Are you happy with the American flag blue?

00:57:04.060 Well, I put up the American flag.

00:57:05.640 No, the American flag blue.

00:57:06.920 I think so.

00:57:07.820 I mean, I'll let you know I wanted a lighter color blue. The person that really knows this stuff said no dark is much better

00:57:15.380 It you don't see the leaves and you know, you know things will get in there

00:57:18.820 But most importantly the dark reflects much better

00:57:27.820 Well, I think it's the strongest it's ever been, you know

00:57:30.640 You take a look at what happened in Louisiana two nights ago with a certain senator

00:57:35.760 that was very disloyal to me and to the Republican Party.

00:57:39.280 He's not even allowed to run for office.

00:57:41.940 We have another big race.

00:57:43.200 This guy Massey is terrible.

00:57:44.520 Let's see what happens.

00:57:45.380 It's not easy beating incumbents,

00:57:46.940 but we have a great guy running against Massey.

00:57:49.340 Massey's a terrible, I think,

00:57:50.720 the worst congressman the Republican Party's ever had.

00:57:53.900 That'll be tonight.

00:57:54.920 That'll be good television,

00:57:56.540 and we'll see what happens there.

00:57:57.880 But I think MAGA's never been more together, actually.

00:58:00.680 I'm going to be making an endorsement today in Texas.

00:58:04.040 I'm going to be putting out an endorsement in a little while in Texas, the great state.

00:58:08.620 You know, I won Texas all six times, meaning primaries and the race, and I got the highest

00:58:13.920 vote in the history of Texas, and I love Texas, but I'm going to be making an endorsement

00:58:19.100 at about 12.30, 1 o'clock today for the big race, the Senate race in Texas, and I hope

00:58:27.820 you find it good.

00:58:28.660 So I do think, I mean, I appreciate the question because even CNN, they did a poll two, three

00:58:35.580 weeks ago.

00:58:36.780 They said Trump is at 100 percent.

00:58:39.820 That's Harry Endan.

00:58:40.820 I like Harry Endan.

00:58:41.820 You know, he's got a lot of energy.

00:58:42.820 I like him.

00:58:43.820 But he did a poll and he's a good pro.

00:58:46.280 And he gives the good and the bad, but I think he's an honorable guy because we get a lot

00:58:50.740 of good.

00:58:51.740 You know, he predicted I was going to do great with the Muslims in Michigan and win Michigan.

00:58:56.900 And I did.

00:58:57.900 and I won Michigan by a lot.

00:58:59.660 He made a lot of good predictions,

00:59:01.100 but he did a poll two weeks ago that said Trump is,

00:59:05.440 I mean, this is up.

00:59:07.100 You can check 100% popularity with MAGA.

00:59:12.180 MAGA is most of the Republican Party.

00:59:14.880 The rhinos are gone to a large extent.

00:59:17.780 A few of them are still left,

00:59:19.160 so hopefully we get rid of one tonight

00:59:21.460 in the form of Tom Massey, who's horrible.

00:59:24.320 But, no, it's been amazing.

00:59:26.560 But I'll be making a statement in a little while

00:59:29.400 as to who I'm endorsing in Texas for the Senate.

00:59:33.140 And there are those that say whoever I endorse is going to win.

00:59:35.560 I don't know if that's true, but historically,

00:59:37.640 that's absolutely true.

00:59:38.640 I just don't like to say it, because I don't like to brag.

00:59:41.180 The Press, how did you want to run against Lauren Boebert?

00:59:44.580 The President, well, I've had my mind made up for a long time,

00:59:46.640 but I just think it's, I just think it's going to be,

00:59:50.520 you know, I just think it's appropriate.

00:59:52.320 The Press, I have a question.

00:59:53.480 There's a place that President Xi told you during your meeting

00:59:57.160 that perhaps Russian President Vladimir Putin

01:00:00.120 would come to regret invading Ukraine.

01:00:03.580 Did he say that to you?

01:00:04.740 No, he never said that.

01:00:05.880 Mr. President, you mentioned that the ballroom is your gift to the country.

01:00:09.820 It's a gift.

01:00:10.540 It's a gift from me and from incredible, successful companies and patriots.

01:00:16.740 And they put up close to $400 million.

01:00:20.000 And you see the...

01:00:22.120 You see what's happening.

01:00:23.120 And it's beautiful.

01:00:24.120 And again, it's ahead of schedule, unlike the Fed building.

01:00:27.520 Think of it.

01:00:28.520 This building at $400 million, the Fed building at $4 billion, and it's a tiny little project

01:00:33.920 by comparison.

01:00:34.920 And you spent a lot of time renovating the White House, the Rose Garden, the powering

01:00:40.220 of the White House.

01:00:41.220 I do.

01:00:42.220 Putting up the American flag, this flagpole.

01:00:43.220 The American flag?

01:00:44.220 On each side.

01:00:45.220 Nice.

01:00:46.220 Why was this so important to be part of your legacy?

01:00:49.220 Well, this is the most important because, number one, security.

01:00:52.120 number two was so needed just on a social basis for presidents. And again, I'll be here for a very

01:00:57.920 short period of time. When this opens, I'll be here for a very short period of time. This is really

01:01:02.700 being built for other presidents. It's not being built for me. And I'm a really good builder. The

01:01:07.080 thing I do best in life is build. I'm a great builder. And I build beautiful product. This,

01:01:12.000 this, there will never be anything like this. I always admired the facade of the Supreme Court.

01:01:17.340 I said, I wonder if that could be duplicated or bettered, even not to say bettered, but even bettered.

01:01:23.160 And we've actually bettered it. What we're doing is something that will, you'll never see it again.

01:01:28.400 The Pressure, President, one more honor on Iran, if I may. 0.89

01:01:30.700 When you were having your discussions with the regional partners, the regional leaders,

01:01:35.360 did they express to you any concern about Iran's ability to still retaliate in the event of U.S.? 0.60

01:01:41.460 Sure, they have a little ability. Their missiles are 82 percent gone, we estimate.

01:01:46.320 their capacity to build this very little right now because we hit you know we hit all of their

01:01:52.040 manufacturing areas same thing with drones largely gone but they still have a little capacity yeah

01:01:57.620 not much but they have a little their navy is completely gone their air force is completely

01:02:02.020 gone uh president xi has promised me that he's not sending any weapons to iran that's a beautiful

01:02:08.460 promise i i take him at his word i appreciated it we had an amazing time in china

01:02:14.760 You know, look, we got along very well before this, but President Xi and I had a really

01:02:20.520 an amazing time.

01:02:21.520 I think he'd say the same thing.

01:02:22.680 But he promised that he's not sending any weapons.

01:02:25.160 And, you know, if you think about it, he gets 40 percent of his oil.

01:02:28.760 He's not sending oil boats in, you know, tankers in with 20 destroyers alongside of

01:02:35.760 him.

01:02:36.760 No, he wants it.

01:02:37.760 He does want it open, like me.

01:02:38.760 I want it open.

01:02:39.760 And we'll get it open. 0.90

01:02:40.760 But Iran has used the straits as a military weapon for 47 years, really much more than that. 0.80

01:02:48.240 And that's not their straits. That's international waterways. That's not for them to do. 0.81

01:02:53.500 And look, they've learned their lesson.

01:02:56.260 If I left today, it would take them 25 years to rebuild.

01:02:59.960 But we're not leaving. We're going to do it right so that in 5 years, 10 years,

01:03:05.120 if you have a bad president who doesn't want to do what's right to do,

01:03:08.620 This should have been done by Obama.

01:03:10.620 This should have been done by Biden.

01:03:12.620 It should have been done by other Presidents long

01:03:14.620 before.

01:03:15.620 And everybody agrees to them.

01:03:17.620 They agree to them.

01:03:18.620 Mr. President, you were supposed to suspend the

01:03:20.620 federal gas tax.

01:03:21.620 Yeah.

01:03:22.620 Are there other initiatives that you're

01:03:24.620 Well, there may be.

01:03:25.620 It's very temporary, yeah.

01:03:26.620 Yeah, there may be.

01:03:27.620 Anything to keep it down.

01:03:28.620 Look, as soon as this war is over, gas is going — you

01:03:31.620 know, I had gasoline down to $1.85 in Iowa.

01:03:35.620 I was in Iowa and the stations added it $1 and 85 cents but I was down to in

01:03:42.900 many cases less than $2 a barrel a gallon and then I said to myself this

01:03:49.060 is great we just hit a new high in the stock market everything's going good

01:03:53.080 I'm sorry but we have to go down and take a little journey down to we have to

01:03:58.540 do something with the rent we cannot let them have a nuclear weapon you want to

01:04:03.640 see the world exploded you want to see a problem and this is peanuts and i appreciate everybody

01:04:09.360 putting up with it for a little while it won't be much longer but uh you're gonna have and frankly

01:04:15.020 there is so much oil out there one of the things that is happening is these big ships are coming

01:04:20.420 up to texas louisiana and alaska and they're loading up but i don't even think about that

01:04:26.420 what i think about is you can't let iran have a nuclear weapon and they won't have a nuclear

01:04:30.440 weapon, and they fully understand it.

01:04:31.940 Mr. President, I once asked you, how do you deal with

01:04:35.820 a fight?

01:04:36.820 And you had some time ago, during your first time,

01:04:39.980 and you told me, success would bring it back.

01:04:42.420 Mr. Yeah, success.

01:04:43.360 Based on that, why do you continue to do what you do,

01:04:46.660 knowing that some of the people are criticizing it

01:04:48.920 every day to try to bring that success?

01:04:51.860 Mr. Well, you know, you have some people disagree

01:04:54.700 with, like, the Iran thing.

01:04:56.100 To me, it's no question. 1.00

01:04:57.500 To me, you have to have borders. 0.99

01:04:58.800 You have to have walls and you have to let people in legally, but you have to have borders.

01:05:04.600 Some people think you don't have borders.

01:05:06.260 You should let anybody, murderers, drug dealers, you should let them in.

01:05:09.940 So there is some, but I said to you once, I remember it, the greatest healer of our country.

01:05:16.180 When we had, just before COVID, we were so successful.

01:05:19.800 You know, we had the best economy we've ever had in my first term.

01:05:23.380 This term is going to blow it away, I think, and you see all the numbers.

01:05:26.000 even during the war we have the highest stock market we've ever had i thought the market would 0.86

01:05:31.120 go down 25 percent and i was okay with that to get rid of a nuclear potential holocaust would

01:05:38.880 have been a nuclear holocaust so going down 25 is okay if you're going to get rid of a nuclear 0.68

01:05:44.080 holocaust so uh most people agree with me when when i'm with people and they let's say oh gee 0.78

01:05:50.240 why do and i say here's the problem is it okay for iran and they are very volatile people i'm 0.82

01:05:56.800 being nice is it okay for iran to have a nuclear weapon everybody says no i said then we have

01:06:03.920 nothing further to discuss you know it's like one of those things and they will never have a nuclear

01:06:08.800 weapon not going to happen and probably that's going to be very soon so one way or the other

01:06:13.360 Whether it's a military or an agreement, that'll start opening up very soon.

01:06:18.400 Mr. President, why don't you wait so long to wait for the next election,

01:06:22.180 such as that now both of their names are going to be on the election?

01:06:24.740 No, no, I've waited.

01:06:27.400 I've pretty much always known who I was going to endorse,

01:06:30.380 but I just thought this was a good time.

01:06:32.820 You know, the voting's starting, and I thought this was a good time.

01:06:35.900 I'm going to be doing that very shortly.

01:06:37.140 Mr. President, have you put any thought into potentially endorsing someone to run against J.B. Pritzker,

01:06:43.040 like darren bailey or well i like darren bailey jb brisk is a slob of a governor you know he could

01:06:48.880 call me and i'd send the national guard in chicago would have no crime look at washington dc

01:06:54.320 did you see the crime stats it's down to like nothing people go to restaurants now

01:06:58.160 uh new restaurants restaurants are all being closed in washington now they're building new

01:07:02.240 restaurants it's a hot city we have a beautiful city we have very little crime almost no crime

01:07:08.160 And we could have the same thing in Chicago.

01:07:11.300 All he'd have to do is say, President,

01:07:14.000 I don't want to have any crime in Chicago.

01:07:15.960 Can you help me?

01:07:16.900 Within three months, Chicago would be a different place.

01:07:20.440 What about the mayor, Brandon?

01:07:23.740 What can I say?

01:07:25.040 He's so bad. 0.93

01:07:26.320 He's so bad.

01:07:27.420 Mr. President, you're going to law alert

01:07:28.920 since you've been on five years.

01:07:30.340 I've talked about making health care more affordable.

01:07:32.860 Right.

01:07:33.360 You've done that.

01:07:34.180 And you made a major announcement yesterday.

01:07:36.020 That was a big announcement.

01:07:37.320 Got no coverage.

01:07:38.680 I reduced drug prices by 50, 60, 70, 80 percent,

01:07:43.120 and it gets no coverage.

01:07:44.760 I think it's maybe, other than medical itself,

01:07:47.900 like a cure, I think it's the biggest thing

01:07:50.140 to happen in health care ever, maybe.

01:07:52.240 I brought the price.

01:07:53.200 We paid the highest price in the world.

01:07:55.380 Now we're paying, as of now,

01:07:57.740 we're paying the lowest price in the world.

01:08:00.720 Prices of drugs have gone down 70, 80, 90 percent.

01:08:04.240 For 28 years, they never went down.

01:08:06.880 In my administration, I got it down one-eighth of 1 percent that I thought it was great.

01:08:11.580 The first time, the only time in 28 years that it went down.

01:08:15.020 Now I got them down 50, 60, 70, and even 80 percent.

01:08:18.980 And that has a huge impact on health care.

01:08:21.400 Listen, go have breakfast. Have a good time.

01:08:23.600 Have breakfast. Enjoy your sight.

01:08:26.360 You can shoot down there.

01:08:28.020 But the next time you come here, those columns will be standing even taller.

01:08:34.360 How long did it take to design the underneath?

01:08:36.400 like you said kind of the military was like what was the architecture actually the underneath

01:08:40.480 part's good question it's far more complex than the upper because what you don't see are the floors

01:08:45.680 that are beneath beneath here and they have very very uh important rooms down there very the most

01:08:51.840 important this was the one opportunity for the military to do something you know they came normally

01:08:58.400 i'd build a ballroom on flat land i wouldn't have any of this i'd have a it would have been built

01:09:02.880 I would very fast I'm a very fast builder we're way ahead of schedule here

01:09:07.860 but we went down six stories so it's actually far more complex than what the

01:09:14.200 easy part is up but again we have a drone proof roof we have all it's all

01:09:18.540 sealed and all of this that you see is totally sealed and we use it as a drone

01:09:23.760 port we can have unlimited drones up there and drones are what's happening

01:09:27.900 right now thank you all very much thank you thank you thank you very much

01:09:32.560 don't eat too much okay the president united states right over here president united states

01:09:40.960 that was the ballroom man you are um that is pure president trump right there uh in sales mode talk

01:09:50.640 about the ballroom today uh the hill had a article about the senate was getting uh jiggy about the

01:09:58.000 the ballroom he was out there gave a big part of his national security he had a couple of

01:10:02.560 blockbusters in there we understand now um at 12 30 immediately after the show is over we believe

01:10:11.280 he's endorsing in the texas race obviously we're going to um cover that that is a monumental

01:10:16.540 decision right there he's cut he's going to endorse in the texas race um i got eric bowling

01:10:21.980 over it peter navarro is going to join us here momentarily i only got eric for a couple of

01:10:25.200 minutes. We had to blow off John Solomon. We had to blow off the guys in Georgia. There was a

01:10:29.240 temporary restraining order given by the judge in the Georgia situation. That came down while we

01:10:35.360 were covering the president. Right there, I don't have enough time to play the cold open for you,

01:10:39.500 but a couple things quick. He said in this impromptu description of the ballroom and taking

01:10:48.020 questions from the media, he was prepared to make a decision to go forward and do an attack,

01:10:53.800 and that would have taken place today when the Saudis and Qatar and UAE said they're working

01:11:01.580 together and they're coming up with something and we should have that document. He said by this

01:11:07.600 weekend or maybe early next week. Eric, right now, give us your assessment of the oil market.

01:11:13.160 I think what you've told me is that this is only three vessels have gotten out.

01:11:18.980 Three in the last 24 hours, Steve. More concerning than all of that right now.

01:11:23.800 Price of diesel fuel, $5.65 a gallon right now, all-time high, $5.81, 16 cents away on its way

01:11:31.000 there. Again, it's really interesting. There's an article. I sent you a piece, a chunk of that

01:11:36.120 article talking about the effect of the Strait of Hormuz. Originally, it was an oil issue. But

01:11:41.280 long ago, you and I talked about where the greater effects will hit the economy, will hit inflation,

01:11:46.620 and therefore will hit interest rates. And over the last couple of days, Steve, we've been talking

01:11:50.340 about the interest rates, they continue to soar higher because after Trump left Xi Jinping

01:11:56.740 and China and Beijing, the market, the bigger market, the bond market dwarfs all these other

01:12:03.080 smaller markets.

01:12:04.480 The oil market tends to be the tail that wags.

01:12:06.380 It's all, well, that's the big dog.

01:12:07.840 Let's call the bond market the big dog.

01:12:10.100 They don't see, not that it's not going to end, they don't see that there's an immediate

01:12:14.960 ending to this conflict in the Middle East.

01:12:17.160 And for that, they believe inflation is roaring, and that's why interest rates are now on the 30-year, almost 5.2, 5.18 now, and on the 10-year, almost 4.7, which is really, really tough numbers, especially for people who want to buy a house or have a credit card debt or almost anything.

01:12:37.540 And what it does, too, it slows down capital spending for businesses.

01:12:42.160 When that slows down, it just trickles down into employment and into spending.

01:12:48.020 The bond market has turfed out more governments than howitzers.

01:12:51.160 I'm going to go back to this.

01:12:52.500 The direct issues with, as you warned us, with energy is now leading to people being reticent about, they'll lend to the U.S. government, but they want more money for that.

01:13:04.840 They think there's more risk involved.

01:13:06.660 The 30-year is directly tied to people's mortgages.

01:13:09.780 And, of course, we had Pulte and these guys on.

01:13:11.360 The president wants to make a big issue about affordability in housing, right, for young people.

01:13:16.640 The 10-year is your credit card, your student loan, any home equity loan you have, your auto loan, all of it.

01:13:24.020 That's now popping, heading towards 5%.

01:13:26.500 They can't look away from this.

01:13:28.400 I mean, Scott Besson, this has to be dealt with, does it not?

01:13:31.540 Because of everything else people have been talking about, this is the signal, not the noise.

01:13:37.340 So here's the problem.

01:13:38.440 And I love Trump.

01:13:39.380 And I love you, Steve Bannon, since 20-whatever, 20-0, 20-aught.

01:13:44.960 You've been talking about America first.

01:13:46.540 My issue is right here, we are listening to President Trump.

01:13:49.920 After the 12-day war in June of last year, we obliterated their ability to deliver a nuke for the foreseeable future.

01:13:57.820 Now we're talking we can't allow them to deliver a nuke for the foreseeable future.

01:14:02.940 I just got to know which one it is because right now, I tell you, most markets are now not listening to what both sides are saying.

01:14:08.720 They're just going what they see, and what they're seeing is higher pump prices, which will turn into higher food prices, which will turn into higher inflation, which basically handcuffs the Fed from doing anything, anything but raising.

01:14:21.780 So it's either going to be a raise or stay still, and if they stay still, you'll likely get higher inflation.

01:14:26.700 They're really, really putting the clamps on it.

01:14:28.620 And to say, just wait till this war is over and gas will drop like a rock, no, oil may, but gas will stay elevated for 30, 45 days.

01:14:37.300 I just think, you know, people yell at me, you're a whiner, Bowling. 0.97

01:14:41.440 You're a whiner. 0.98

01:14:42.140 They call me a whiner every time I'm on the war room. 0.98

01:14:43.960 I'm not whining.

01:14:45.040 I would profit if oil went down.

01:14:47.640 Problem is, it's not going down anytime soon.

01:14:51.340 I'm just showing people what I see.

01:14:54.620 I'm doing this a long time, and this is what I'm doing.

01:14:57.460 You've not been wrong yet on this.

01:14:59.200 You warned about this.

01:15:00.540 And, you know, Scott's talking now, using this term,

01:15:03.680 take your number two pencil out, disinflation elements or disinflation things that are going

01:15:09.240 to happen, not deflation, but disinflation. What he's talking about is oil coming down.

01:15:14.060 The Persians understand they're going to, with their partners, the CCP, they're going to stretch

01:15:19.400 this out. They see a way to end Trump and end the Trump revolution. And they see that in the

01:15:23.820 midterm elections. Very, very obvious display. Eric, I know you've got a bounce. You've got

01:15:28.420 other recording. We'll be up and do a handover. We'll have more information. We'll do it if you're

01:15:33.520 so gracious we'll do a handover with you today at 4 50. how's that sound actually steve both

01:15:38.740 audiences love it so yeah we we absolutely open an invite my friend every day if you if you can

01:15:43.960 if you can get to appreciate by the way this inflation is healthy in a good economy deflation

01:15:49.480 is deadly in a faltering deflation deflation is terrible no can't handle thank you sir appreciate

01:15:56.520 you for sticking around we had to juggle a lot john solomon we missed but we're going back to

01:16:02.360 the White House, Dr. Peter Navarro, going to make it all make sense for us. Short break.

01:16:21.120 Everyone's focused on how the conflict in the Middle East is raising oil prices,

01:16:24.700 but there's another grim reality to this contention. Oil isn't the only resource being

01:16:31.120 constrained, about one-third of global fertilizer trade happens through this region. And with spring

01:16:37.320 planting season on top of us, American farmers are sounding the alarm with some saying they can't

01:16:42.680 afford to plant their fields. When one piece of the supply chain gets hit this hard, you know what

01:16:48.260 comes next. Higher food prices, reduced availability, maybe even panic buying. That's why having an

01:16:54.880 Emergency food supply at home makes so much sense.
