00:00:00.640
Narendra Modi, back to the White House. We spent a lot of time here and a lot of time in India,
00:00:07.040
and he's a very special man. Prime Minister, it is a pleasure to extend to you the same
00:00:12.860
hospitality that you showed Melania and myself when we traveled to your beautiful country five
00:00:19.420
years ago. It's hard to believe so long ago, and it seemed like yesterday it was beautiful.
00:00:24.580
We opened the cricket stadium, 129,000 seats, I think the largest stadium in the world.
00:00:30.700
And it was an incredible period of time. There is truly a special bond between the United States
00:00:37.520
and India and the world's oldest democracy and the world's largest democracy, and I believe the
00:00:44.320
world's largest country in terms of the numbers of people. And today the Prime Minister and I are
00:00:50.340
announcing a framework to strengthen those ties even further economically, and the U.S.-India compact
00:00:57.200
for the 21st century is a historic initiative that will deepen every aspect of our partnership
00:01:03.780
and our friendship. Starting this year, we'll be increasing military sales to India by many
00:01:10.460
billions of dollars. We're also paving the way to ultimately provide India with the F-35 stealth
00:01:17.020
fighters. In 2017, my administration revived and reinvigorated the Quad Security Partnership.
00:01:26.060
In our meeting today, the Prime Minister and I reaffirmed that strong cooperation among the United States,
00:01:32.860
India, Australia, and Japan. And it's crucial really to maintaining peace and prosperity,
00:01:39.000
tranquility even, in the Indo-Pacific. In addition, the United States and India will be working together
00:01:47.360
like never before to confront the threat of radical Islamic terrorism, a threat all over the world
00:01:53.900
actually. Today I'm pleased to announce that my administration has approved the extradition of one
00:01:59.720
of the plotters and one of the very evil people of the world, and having to do with the horrific
00:02:07.220
2008 Mumbai terrorist attack to face justice in India. So he's going to be going back to India
00:02:17.540
to face justice. As we deepen our defense partnership, we'll also strengthen our economic ties and bring
00:02:24.980
greater fairness and reciprocity to our trading relationship. As a signal of good faith, Prime Minister Modi
00:02:32.140
recently announced the reductions to India's unfair, very strong tariffs that limit U.S. access into the Indian
00:02:41.680
market very strongly. And really, it's a big problem, I must say. India imposes a 30 to 40 to 60 and even 70 percent
00:02:52.840
tariff on so many of the goods, and in some cases, far more than that. And as an example, a 70 percent
00:02:59.440
tariff on U.S. cars going into India, which makes it pretty much impossible to sell those cars.
00:03:05.440
Today, the U.S. trade deficit with India is almost $100 billion. And Prime Minister Modi and I have agreed
00:03:13.540
that we'll begin negotiations to address the long-running disparities that should have been taken care of
00:03:19.940
over the last four years. But they didn't do that in the U.S.-India trading relationship with the goal of
00:03:26.540
signing an agreement. And we want, really, we want a certain level playing field, which we really think
00:03:35.880
we're entitled to. And he does also, in fairness. So we're going to work on that very hard. And we can
00:03:41.700
make up the difference very easily with the deficit, with the sale of oil and gas, LNG, of which we have
00:03:48.560
more than anybody in the world. The Prime Minister and I also reached an important agreement on
00:03:53.340
energy that will restore the United States as a leading supplier of oil and gas to India. It will
00:04:00.080
be, hopefully, their number one supplier. And the groundbreaking development for U.S. nuclear
00:04:05.620
industry, India is also reforming its laws to welcome U.S. nuclear technology, which is at the
00:04:11.500
highest level, into the Indian market. This will bring safe, clean, and affordable electricity to
00:04:17.660
millions of Indians and tens of billions of dollars to the U.S. civilian nuclear industry in India.
00:04:25.660
And under the framework we are announcing today, the United States and India are also joining forces
00:04:31.160
to ensure that artificial intelligence and other advanced technologies are developed by the two of the
00:04:39.080
most, really, two of the most advanced nations, intellectually and otherwise technologically,
00:04:45.820
anywhere in the world. There's nobody very much closer. We have an incredible relationship there.
00:04:51.900
And those are, this is where it seems to be heading. And artificial intelligence, complex,
00:04:58.760
a very complex subject, but it seems to be where people want to be and they want to go. And
00:05:03.240
we're leading right now by a lot, but other people will try to catch us. I don't know if they're going
00:05:09.720
to be able to. We're going to make it available. We're going to make tremendous amounts of electricity
00:05:13.500
available. We're going to let the people that are buying the electricity make their own electric
00:05:19.340
plants, electric generation plants. And we've never done this in our country, but we're going to get it
00:05:25.620
done very quickly. Lee Zeldin and his group are going to get the approvals in very rapid form.
00:05:31.020
And we're calling it a national emergency. And that's exactly what it is. So we're going to be,
00:05:37.840
we're going to remain at the top of the AI or artificial intelligence, I think, for a long time
00:05:42.720
to come. And we're going to be working very closely with India and other countries on that. But right
00:05:48.620
now we're the leader by quite a bit. Finally, we agreed to work together to help build one of the
00:05:53.500
greatest trade routes in all of history. It will run from India to Israel to Italy and onward to
00:06:00.900
the United States connecting our partners by ports, railways and undersea cables, many, many
00:06:07.600
undersea cables. It's a big, it's a big development. It's a lot of money going to be spent. And
00:06:13.320
we've already spent some, but we're going to be spending a lot more in order to stay advanced and
00:06:19.280
stay the leader. I'm pleased to report that with today's announcements, the friendship between the
00:06:25.080
United States and India is the strongest, I believe it's ever been. I think our relationship is the
00:06:30.000
best it's ever been between two leaders of the two countries. And it's an honor to say that. I'd like
00:06:35.780
to now invite the prime minister to say a few words and then we'll take some questions. And
00:06:41.040
we appreciate you all being here. Thank you very much.
00:06:45.960
Your Excellency. Your Excellency, Rastpratty Trump,
00:07:29.260
। भारत और अमेरिका समंधों को अपने नेतुरत्व से संजोया है, जीवन्त बनाया है।

आज की चर्चाओं में, उनके पहले टम में हमारी उपलब्दियों का संतोश और गहरे आपरी आपसी विश्वास का सेतु था।
00:08:19.260
साथ ही नए लक्षों को प्राप्त करने का संकल्प भी था।
00:08:27.260
हम मानते हैं कि भारत और अमेरिका का साथ और सयोग एक बहतर विश्व को शेप कर सकता है।
00:08:39.260
Friends, अमेरिका के लोग राष्ट्रप्रती टरंप के मोटो

00:08:55.260
भारत के लोग भी विरासत और विकास की पट्री पर विक्षिद भारत 2047 के द्रड संकल्प को लेकर तेज गती शक्ति से विकास की और अग्रसर है।
00:09:19.260
अमेरिका की भाषा मैं कहूँ तो विक्षिद भारत का मतलब
00:09:33.620
जब अमेरिका और भारत साथ मिलकर काम करते हैं यानी मागा
00:09:46.060
मागा प्लस मिगा तब बन जाता है मेगा पार्टनर्शिप फॉर प्रस्परिटी और यही मेगा स्परिट
00:10:10.840
Friends आज हमने द्वीपक्षिय व्यापार को 2030 तक दो गुना से भी अधिक बणा कर
00:10:24.680
500 बिलियन डॉलर तक पहुंचाने का लक्ष निर्धारित किया है
00:10:31.220
हमारी टी में एक पारसपारिक लापकारी ट्रेड एग्रिमेंट को सिग्रस संपन करने पर काम करेगी
00:10:44.040
भारत की उर्जा सुरक्षा सुनिश्चित करने में हम ओईल तता गैस ट्रेड को बल देंगे
00:11:00.680
नुकलियर एनरजी खेत्र में हमने स्मॉल मोडूलर रियक्टर्स की दिशा में सयोग बनाहे पर भी बात की
00:11:11.560
फ्रेंट्स भारत की डिफेंस प्रिपेडनेस में अमेरिका की महत्वपुन भूमी का है
00:11:52.160
In the area of nuclear energy, we also discussed
00:11:57.420
increasing cooperation on small modular reactors.
00:12:18.580
We are moving forward actively towards joint development,
00:12:43.300
We have decided to launch the Autonomous Systems Industry Alliance
00:12:49.700
and a defense cooperation framework for the next decade will be prepared.
00:12:59.580
Defense interoperability, logistics, repair, and maintenance
00:13:12.900
Friends, the 21st century is a technology-driven century.
00:13:24.040
between countries that believe in democratic values
00:13:28.680
can give new direction, strength, and opportunities
00:13:43.560
of artificial intelligence, semiconductors, quantum,
00:13:53.780
Today, we also agreed on TRUST, which stands for transforming relationships
00:14:08.060
Under this, our focus will be on establishing strong supply chains
00:14:16.380
for critical minerals, advanced materials, and pharmaceuticals.
00:14:31.160
and processing initiative for strategic minerals
00:14:38.540
We have had close cooperation with the U.S. in the area of space.
00:14:50.880
The NISAR satellite, developed with mutual cooperation
00:14:55.120
between ISRO and NASA, will soon be flying into space
00:15:02.940
Friends, partnership between India and the U.S.
00:15:07.200
This strengthens democracy and strengthens democratic values and systems.
00:15:17.540
We will work together to enhance peace, stability, and prosperity
00:15:32.160
During the Quad summit scheduled to be held in India this year,
00:15:38.700
we will expand cooperation in new areas with our partner countries.
00:15:45.500
Under the IMEC and I2U2, we will work together for the development of economic corridors
00:15:59.560
India and U.S. will stand strongly together in the fight against terrorism.
00:16:08.300
We agree that in order to eliminate cross-border terrorism,
00:16:19.340
And I'm very grateful to President Trump that he, in 2008,
00:16:32.160
that criminal is now going to be handed over to India,
00:16:38.200
And appropriate action will be taken in the courts in India.
00:16:41.500
Friends, the Indian community living in the U.S.
00:16:51.640
In order to further deepen our people-to-people ties,
00:16:58.340
India will soon open new consulates in Los Angeles and Boston.
00:17:08.000
We have invited American universities and educational institutes
00:17:19.140
President Trump, I am grateful to you for your friendship
00:17:31.700
The people of India still fondly remember your visit in 2020
00:17:41.640
and hope that President Trump will come and visit them again.
00:18:27.260
People in India will naturally welcome your decision
00:18:32.420
In that context, I'd like to ask you a question about,
00:18:35.200
in the last few years, we have seen several groups in the U.S.
00:18:41.340
calling about separation, terrorism activities in India.
00:18:44.700
Do you think that should continue here in the U.S. as well?
00:18:48.760
Mr. President, people in India will be welcoming your decision
00:19:04.200
First, I want to ask the Prime Minister a question.
00:19:07.080
You and the President, you both spoke about combating ISIS.
00:19:11.240
You both sounded very excited about this partnership upcoming.
00:19:16.780
And I was curious, how much more confident are you with President
00:19:21.960
Trump leading this country that there will be peace through strength
00:19:26.280
and you will have a successful partnership with the United States
00:19:29.960
versus with Biden's incompetence and weakness over the last four years?
00:19:54.040
And it has been like the whole world's been set back over the last four years
00:19:58.420
by the weakness of the United States, the weak leadership of the United States.
00:20:02.140
But I think we've taken care of it in just three weeks.
00:20:04.860
It seems to me that even some of the media that we wouldn't prefer
00:20:09.780
has been writing that this is a much different country right now,
00:20:13.220
that the world has a light over it, not only our country, but the whole world.
00:20:18.060
The Prime Minister told me that before, too, even over India.
00:20:21.840
They need the United States to be strong and powerful, but good.
00:20:27.880
And I think it's happened in a very short period of time.
00:20:30.180
But I will tell you, we're going to have a fantastic relationship.
00:20:50.180
I'll just take my colleague Lalit Jha's question forward because you couldn't understand.
00:20:54.840
The question is about the fact that you've decided to extradite Tahavar Rana.
00:21:02.580
India has been waiting to have him back in India to bring him to justice.
00:21:08.260
But there are many other elements in the United States of America,
00:21:12.120
particularly Khalistani separatists who've been working against Indian interests.
00:21:17.200
How is the United States of America going to cooperate on that front with India?
00:21:22.140
There have been allegations that have been leveled against Indian agencies by the Biden administration.
00:21:28.640
Are you going to relook that with Tulsi Gabbard as DNI now?
00:21:33.080
Well, I don't think India had a very good relationship with the Biden administration.
00:21:37.340
Biden, they wouldn't sell them oil and gas, which is rather hard to believe,
00:21:44.460
And a lot of things happened that weren't very appropriate, I thought,
00:21:47.820
between India and the administration, the Biden administration.
00:21:50.940
But as you said, we're giving a very violent man, it seems to me.
00:21:56.700
I mean, I don't know that he's been convicted yet or will be,
00:22:05.740
And there are more to follow because we have quite a few requests.
00:22:10.000
So we work with India on crime, and we want to make it good for India,
00:22:15.520
So that kind of a relationship is very important to us.
00:22:26.620
Mr. President, you've repeatedly called India a big abuser of trade
00:22:30.920
and said it is really difficult to do business in India because of tariffs.
00:22:37.560
I am hoping you can speak about what kind of reciprocal tariffs India can expect.
00:22:43.420
Are you willing to make any concessions, and how can India head off these tariffs?
00:22:51.340
Well, India has been, to us, just about the highest tariffed nation anywhere in the world.
00:22:58.640
They've been very strong on tariffs, and I don't blame them necessarily,
00:23:03.820
It's very hard to sell into India because they have trade barriers, very strong tariffs.
00:23:13.380
We are going to, if it's India or if it's somebody else with low tariffs,
00:23:18.980
We're going to have whatever India charges, we're charging them,
00:23:21.500
whatever another country charges, we're charging them.
00:23:23.720
So it's called reciprocal, which I think is a very fair way.
00:23:29.720
I was going to do that in my other term, and we had the greatest economy ever in the world.
00:23:34.780
There's never been an economy like we had, and then we got hit with COVID.
00:23:38.560
We had a focus on that, and I wasn't really in the mood to be putting it on Italy and Spain
00:23:44.920
and France and India, frankly, and a lot of other countries
00:23:48.100
because the world was very troubled until we got rid of that nightmare.
00:23:52.360
But we had the strongest economy anywhere in the world
00:23:55.240
during that fairly long period of time during my first term, as you know.
00:24:02.440
We would have done the reciprocal tariffs, but we decided, and I decided,
00:24:10.260
not to do them because of the fact that there was such suffering all over the world.
00:24:14.180
The last thing we needed to talk about is trade problems.
00:24:19.100
We're doing – we see a tremendous future for our country,
00:24:22.900
but we felt that now it's finally time after 45 or 50 years of abuse that we will do –
00:24:33.060
The European Union is very difficult for us, very, very difficult.
00:24:37.300
They tax our companies at levels that nobody's ever seen before.
00:24:46.220
And we've never taken in 10 cents until I was president.
00:24:49.940
We've taken in hundreds of billions of dollars from China since I've been president,
00:24:56.700
And we have to do that just as a mechanism of fairness.
00:25:02.240
And so we are being reciprocal with India, whatever India charges, we charge them.
00:25:08.120
So, frankly, it no longer matters to us that much what they charge because whatever they charge – I had discussions with India in the first term about the fact that their tariffs were very high and I was unable to get a concession.
00:25:23.240
So we're just going to do it the easy way and we're just going to say whatever you charge, we charge.
00:25:27.660
And I think that's fair for the people of the United States.
00:25:50.080
Prime Minister, the U.S. is giving a lot of push to curb illegal immigration.
00:25:58.680
How does India see this issue in the larger context?
00:26:05.020
I don't think this is a question that is about India only, but even globally you can talk about this issue.
00:26:14.060
And we are of the opinion that anybody who enters another country illegally,
00:26:25.000
they have absolutely no right to be in that country.
00:26:34.000
And as far as India and the U.S. is concerned, we have always been of the same opinion,
00:26:40.980
and that is that any verified Indian who is in the U.S. illegally, we are fully prepared to take them back to India.
00:27:01.600
These are children of very ordinary families, and they are lured by big dreams and big promises.
00:27:12.560
A lot of them are brought in without them knowing about why they are going to a country.
00:27:20.220
And in fact, they are connected with a human trafficking system, and we have to make sure that we fight against this system.
00:27:28.820
As far as the U.S. and India is concerned, I think what we should do is make efforts to make sure that we uproot these from within the system
00:27:40.940
so that we can reduce or remove human trafficking, and basically the young, vulnerable, poor people of India are fooled into coming over as illegal immigrants.
00:27:54.980
And our bigger fight actually is against this ecosystem or this system that encourages such gangs to thrive.
00:28:03.500
And I can tell you that India will completely support your endeavor in achieving this.
00:28:12.560
I have a question for the Prime Minister Modi first, if I may.
00:28:15.620
I wanted to ask you, did you discuss any possible business deals with Elon Musk during your meetings today, Mr. Prime Minister?
00:28:23.540
And Mr. President, I wanted to ask you, today you spoke about hoping to have three-way talks with President Xi and President Putin.
00:28:32.840
But what would you say to European leaders and other allies who may be concerned that you're apparently more keen to speak to America's adversaries than to its allies?
00:28:47.020
We had some talks and we told the European Union, we told the NATO people, largely they overlap, you have to pay more money because it's unfair what we're doing.
00:29:03.040
We're doing a tremendous amount more, we're probably $200 billion more going into Ukraine, using for Ukraine to fight.
00:29:14.460
And Europe has not really carried its weight in terms of the money.
00:29:25.320
At the same time, we had a very good conversation with President Putin the other day, yesterday, and we also had a very good conversation, I did, both, in both cases, with President Zelensky.
00:29:37.000
And I think we're going to be able to do something.
00:29:43.700
It's a very terrible, bloody war with a million and a half soldiers at least already dead on the battlefield, lying all over the fields like nobody's ever seen anything like it, certainly since the Second World War.
00:29:55.900
And so I think we're going to be able to do something.
00:29:58.760
We're working with President Zelensky and with President Putin.
00:30:03.220
And my impression is that they, I know that President Zelensky wants to make a deal.
00:30:08.660
And I also feel that I know that President Putin wants to make a deal.
00:30:12.400
I wanted to know that before I began any detailed discussions.
00:30:16.580
But the meeting and the conversation, also the meeting with Steve Witkoff in Moscow was a very successful one.
00:30:23.600
And my phone call with him was a very successful one.
00:30:40.600
I was not even a prime minister at the time when I first met him.
00:30:45.020
I was chief minister, and today he came to meet me along with all his family, with his children.
00:30:56.820
As far as the EV is concerned, EVs are concerned, the word EV has a copyright.
00:31:06.660
And that is one person who has a copyright for the word EV, and that is Trump.
00:31:22.600
Can I ask whether you discussed at all today the case of Gautam Adhani, who's one of the wealthiest men in Asia and perceived as an ally of Prime Minister Modi?
00:31:31.980
Prime Minister Modi, have you asked the president to take action on that case?
00:31:45.520
And our culture and our thought philosophy is Masadeva Kutumkam, which basically means that the entire world is a family.
00:32:00.100
And when it comes to such personal matters, two leaders of two countries will not get together on that topic and discuss anything on an individual matter.
00:32:23.720
But, Mr. President, you have suggested, with regards to the Russia-Ukraine war, you've suggested several things that Ukraine should give up.
00:32:31.600
The idea of NATO membership, territory that was seized back in 2014 by Russia.
00:32:39.820
Russia has gotten themselves into something that I think they wish they didn't.
00:32:44.500
If I were president, it would not have happened.
00:32:51.100
If you look at what has taken place under President Bush, they lost a lot.
00:33:02.000
Under Biden, it looks like they could lose the whole thing.
00:33:10.440
And you take a look at the other three presidents surrounding me.
00:33:16.760
I think that when you look at Ukraine and when you look at the mess that they're in, it's got to be ended and it's got to be stopped.
00:33:26.420
Now, Russia has taken over a pretty big chunk of territory.
00:33:30.900
And they also have said from day one, long before President Putin, they've said they cannot have Ukraine be in NATO.
00:33:41.120
I actually think that that was the thing that caused the start of the war, and Biden said it, and Zelensky said it, and I think that was one of the reasons, one of the starts of the war.
00:33:53.020
But from long before Putin, they said you cannot have Ukraine going in in any way into NATO, and I start from that standpoint.
00:34:06.620
Now, if a better deal can be negotiated, if they're able to make a deal where they can do that, that's fine with me.
00:34:18.520
I don't want to see, you know, we have an ocean between us and the site we're talking about, the site of death.
00:34:32.580
They have to equalize, and they're going to have to do it fast, but they have to equalize.
00:34:36.580
But as far as the negotiation, it's too early to say what's going to happen.
00:34:44.320
And it's all dependent on what is going to happen.
00:34:49.720
But I will say, as far as NATO is concerned, from many years before President Putin, I
00:34:54.880
will tell you that I've heard that Russia would never accept that.
00:34:58.640
And I think Ukraine knew that, because Ukraine wasn't in and never requested to be in until
00:35:04.540
So that's the way it is, and I think that's the way it's going to have to be.
00:35:09.640
SECRETARY Bетровskineck, assume it's not a contest.
00:35:47.160
How do you see this relationship between India and the United States to counter China?
00:35:52.920
And what is your vision when it comes to India, you know, brokering peace in the Ukraine and Russia conflict?
00:36:01.920
Well, I think we're going to have a very good relationship with China.
00:36:04.800
I got along with President Xi very well until COVID.
00:36:09.180
But until then, I got along with President Xi very, very well.
00:36:15.880
I don't want to be naive, but as leaders go, I think we were very close.
00:36:20.380
And I think that China is a very important player in the world.
00:36:24.700
I think they can help us get this war over with Ukraine and Russia.
00:36:30.220
I do see the skirmishes on the border, which are quite vicious.
00:36:37.300
If I could be of help, I'd love to help, because that should be stopped.
00:36:45.540
But I would hope that China and India and Russia and U.S. and all of us can get along.
00:36:54.840
You know, the power of weaponry today is, and not only nuclear, but nuclear in particular,
00:37:02.560
And I said before that I had very constructive talks in my first term with President Putin
00:37:09.580
about the denuclearization of the two countries, and then we were going to go to China after
00:37:17.960
And we, at the confines of a deal, we were, I thought, he really wanted to do it, so did
00:37:25.040
And it's so, it's such a beautiful term when you think about it.
00:37:28.820
In other words, to bring it down, because the power of those weapons is too great.
00:37:33.920
And I did speak to President Xi about that, and I was getting also a very good response.
00:37:42.540
He's not very close to Russia or the United States right now, but he will be soon.
00:37:47.200
I mean, he'll catch up over the period of four or five years, they say.
00:37:51.240
But it would be a great thing if we could, on a military basis, we're going to spend this
00:38:02.080
Russia, without the war, was spending close to $100, but with the war, I can't tell you
00:38:06.560
what they're spending, but they're spending a lot.
00:38:14.140
And I said, you know, it doesn't really make sense, does it?
00:38:17.360
We're spending the money against each other, and we could spend that money for better purpose
00:38:24.720
And I'll tell you, I think that something like that will happen.
00:38:28.420
First, when I left, as you know, four years ago, we didn't have Israel and the Middle East.
00:38:34.740
We didn't have October 7th, a disaster, the disaster.
00:38:40.260
Iran was not going to do anything, because Iran did not have much money at that point.
00:38:47.920
They didn't have money for Hamas or for Hezbollah, and you didn't have Russia with Ukraine, and
00:38:54.720
But now I come back, and I have, the whole world is on fire, so I have to put out the
00:38:59.180
But after I put out the fires, I'm going to meet with China, and I'm going to meet with
00:39:02.940
Russia, and we're going to see if we can de-escalate it, if we can bring it down, military,
00:39:31.800
You have had discussions with President Trump about de-escalating the conflict in Russia
00:39:41.100
As you know, I have been in constant contact with both Russia and Ukraine.
00:39:50.900
I have also visited both countries, and many peoples are mistaken, and they feel that India
00:40:04.400
We have taken a side, and we have taken the side of peace.
00:40:10.540
And it is based on this principle of ours that in the presence of President Putin, I clearly
00:40:24.920
said in front of the media that this is not the era of war.
00:40:28.380
And even today, it is my conviction that solutions cannot be found on the battlefield.
00:40:36.920
Ultimately, you have to come to the negotiating table.
00:40:41.380
And India has constantly made efforts that there are talks that take place where both parties
00:40:53.600
The efforts being made by President Trump, I support them, I welcome them, and I would like
00:41:04.020
that President Trump is successful as soon as possible so that the world is on the path
00:41:10.100
that the world is on the path of peace and peace once again.
00:41:16.240
And I very much appreciate the Prime Minister visiting our great country, and I do really appreciate
00:41:24.040
And all we want to do is have peace, and we want to have strength, and we want to have
00:41:29.560
The relationship with India and with the Prime Minister has never been better.
00:41:44.280
Have you seen the news from economists forecasting a depression?
00:41:52.420
We're in a perfect storm as Social Security and Medicare hit a breaking point with the largest generation hitting retirement.
00:42:04.820
Pair that with our growing national debt and rising cost of living, and you got a problem, and I mean a big problem.
00:42:11.920
So what are you going to do now to protect your family for the future?

00:46:08.640
That's the president of the United States in Modi.
00:46:14.600
It's amazing out of both the president and Modi.
00:46:17.460
You can tell, I think it's pretty clear how highly the president thinks of Modi.
00:46:28.300
And there's tough talks going on behind the scenes.
00:46:30.780
The reciprocity of tariffs is specifically, I think, talking about India.
00:46:36.260
India's got some very high tariffs when it comes to the United States.
00:46:40.960
And Modi's a tough negotiator, so I'm sure the president's got into it with him on that.
00:46:50.620
The president also dropped – he said earlier today that he'd had an hour-and-a-half phone call with Vladimir Putin, an hour-and-a-half.
00:47:03.040
I think that had been reported, but I don't know if it was that clear, an hour-and-a-half.
00:47:05.920
And now Witkoff – he had sent Witkoff, Steve Witkoff, who basically struck the Hamas ceasefire.
00:47:15.520
Nisra Witkoff has been sent to, I guess, Moscow to meet with Putin and his team.
00:47:21.860
Steve Witkoff's a guy to keep your eye on in this administration.
00:47:33.400
I mean, he got the – I wasn't crazy about all of the ceasefire, but it's pretty extraordinary.
00:47:40.480
And that's – Witkoff can get done very hard things.
00:47:43.980
And he's now, it looks like, very engaged in the Ukraine situation.
00:47:48.980
Kind of some consternation or some, I don't want to say confusion, about the team.
00:47:52.240
They've named another team, really, with Marco Rubio.
00:47:55.860
And to kind of head it up with Pete Hegseth in talking to the Ukrainians.
00:48:11.120
Immediately afterwards, we're going to get a hot wash-up from Brian about exactly what went on.
00:48:18.560
It's really important with India, hugely tariffs today.
00:48:26.180
I don't have time to play, so I'll do it on the morning show tomorrow.
00:48:28.880
But President Trump had an extraordinary statement earlier in the day.
00:48:35.880
President Trump announced that he wanted to have a three-part negotiation or meeting with President Xi and President Putin
00:48:46.960
where he would negotiate a deal that they were – we would be able to cut our – we have the clip?
00:48:54.780
Be able to cut the defense budget by 50 percent.
00:48:59.780
One of the first meetings I want to have is with President Xi of China, President Putin of Russia.
00:49:05.700
And I want to say let's cut our military budget in half.
00:49:13.560
Okay, cut in half so we see what he's thinking.
00:49:19.640
This is another big power move like Greenland, like Canada, like Gaza.
00:49:24.800
President Trump's trying to bring peace and prosperity.
00:49:26.780
I think I would say the watchword in President Trump's – what he's doing geopolitically is, number one, put the guns down.
00:49:34.500
Let's everybody put the guns down, put them on the front of you, on the table, and let's try to hammer out deals.
00:49:43.560
You know, President Trump's read a lot of military history, has quite a martial aspect about much of what he does and how his bearing and how he conducts himself is one of the reasons the military respects him so much and one of the reasons the law enforcement respects him so much.
00:49:59.080
But he's a man of peace, and he realizes you can only get peace if you're prepared to go to war.
00:50:03.760
If they think that you'll break bad on them, they'll listen up.
00:50:10.380
Putin would have never, ever, ever even considered going into Ukraine if President Trump had been president.
00:50:21.180
Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood would never in a million years have considered going into Gaza with President Trump as president.
00:50:31.340
Xi, in the whole first term, never, ever, ever, ever considered any type of assault on Taiwan from the South China Sea or through the Straits of Taiwan.
00:50:46.600
And President Trump now today saying, hey, I think I'd like to sit down with Xi and Putin to talk about an arrangement, our understanding,
00:50:57.260
that we don't have to keep continuing to build up these massive weapons.
00:51:01.140
You know, now you've got AI weapons, hypersonic weapons.
00:51:05.840
One thing that history shows us, like in World War II, these wars go on and the attrition gets higher.
00:51:21.440
And one of the ways, the only way we're going to cut this spending, you know, I said earlier in the show and some of the people picked up about Medicaid.
00:51:26.920
Anybody who's living under the fantasy that we can go in to these entitlement programs and that there's, there's, you can take a meat axe to it.
00:51:37.860
Particularly with the concentration of wealth, let's, let's be blunt.
00:51:41.800
Want to put cards on the table and talk about it?
00:51:44.680
The working class and middle class have bailed out the wealthy.
00:51:47.320
We socialized the risk and given the upside to individuals.
00:51:51.140
The bailout of 2008, the, the, the, the, the turning Silicon Valley into an oligarch, oligarchy with another bailout coming on.
00:52:06.680
It's all been on the, it's all been because of taxpayers have really covered the downside.
00:52:12.180
The taxpayers have covered the downside and allowed the wealthy and the connected to have unlimited upside.
00:52:22.900
And now, uh, Semaphore has this thing where the Republicans are struggling.
00:52:27.400
They're struggling because traditionally they don't think like this.
00:52:29.720
They're struggling because these tax cuts on no tax on tips and no tax on overtime.
00:52:38.720
It's not in the traditional Republican playbook.
00:52:44.420
You ain't struggling to give the wealthy a tax cut.
00:52:49.940
You're prepared to run to your paymasters and give them a tax cut.
00:52:53.900
Remember, the corporations turned on MAGA and turned on the American people the worst.
00:53:02.660
Look at what they did driving people out of jobs.
00:53:04.380
Look at the times you see these fathers sitting there getting fired because of this.
00:53:07.840
It wasn't for Rufo and Robbie Starbuck and other of these folks that put them on notice and exposed everything.
00:53:17.040
And their arrogance, you know, when they all dropped it, the cowardice corporations dropped it a couple of days after 5 November.
00:53:30.520
You don't need it now because you got your ass kicked.
00:53:33.620
So don't come around begging for, oh, I need a tax cut.
00:53:37.540
I need a tax cut because we need to increase profits and we need to increase capital.
00:53:50.040
Your warrants packages kick in and boom, you're out.
00:53:56.440
Of the 4.6 train, I think it's $500 billion in corporate.
00:54:13.720
What did they do when they thought they were going to win?
00:54:21.940
Because they want to kowtow to the Upper West Side of New York and Manhattan.
00:54:37.080
And now they're sitting there, oh, we've got to get our tax cut.
00:54:40.140
What you need to do is step up to the plate and start delivering for the people of this country.
00:54:47.020
I don't hear about your whinging about tax cuts.
00:54:49.400
I don't hear the wealthy whinging about their tax cuts.
00:54:51.780
And I don't want to see articles about we're struggling with Republican Orthodoxy.
00:54:56.860
You're not struggling because you don't think the American people remember you got your pay masses of the wealthy have you on the payroll.
00:55:07.740
This is, it's absurd where we are in this budget.
00:55:12.460
1.5, 1.5 trillion dollars over a 10-year budget cuts.
00:55:20.200
They say, well, Steve, you can't take it out of entitlements.
00:55:29.800
Let's start with the biopharmaceutical industry.
00:55:34.680
Let's get the corporations to stop being welfare queens.
00:55:43.080
He's not paying $900 billion a year for defense.
00:55:47.520
President Trump said he just wanted to cut half of it.
00:55:51.040
Heck, he would take the CCP down, cut them off from the sociopathic overlords.
00:55:56.020
If the sociopathic overlords on Wall Street would stop funding them and stop shipping pension fund money over to China to ship our jobs over there,
00:56:05.480
They wouldn't be able to build a fleet that can compete with the Seventh Fleet,
00:56:22.080
Hey, dude, hey, you're going to struggle a lot more because we're going to come in and airstrike every day
00:56:28.080
and expose every phony up there that does not back the people.
00:56:33.120
They give them their money back, their hard-earned money that you've essentially stolen from them.
00:56:38.920
They should not have any, even a consideration of a tax cut for the wealthy
00:56:49.620
You're burying your kids, your grandkids, and now you're burying yourself
00:56:53.320
and every kid in this country under 35 years old.
00:56:57.060
You're condemning them to a life of nothing more than a Russian serf.
00:57:00.660
It's not correct in no generation in our history has ever done it to other generations.
