00:00:30.000 This is what happens when the fourth turning meets fifth generation warfare.

00:00:40.660 A commentator, international social media sensation, and former Navy intelligence veteran.

00:00:46.960 This is Human Events with your host, Jack Posobiec.

00:00:50.360 Christ is king.

00:00:51.860 And so as it pertains to housing, we're being very focused on that.

00:00:56.300 And even some that receive HUD funding to make sure, like our Section 3, when you receive HUD funding,

00:01:03.220 that you are given opportunities for the most vulnerable Americans that you serve to have work,

00:01:08.780 to have opportunities to work, to have work requirements.

00:01:12.220 Work requirements are not a bad word.

00:01:13.780 That's a great word.

00:01:15.020 Time limits is a great word.

00:01:16.600 To incentivize people, able-bodied, able-minded people, to work.

00:01:21.660 And I believe that we are, under your leadership, sir, changing that conversation in America to where working is an honorable thing.

00:01:29.000 And Secretary Wright talked about revitalization.

00:01:33.440 Revitalization means to bring new life.

00:01:35.200 And I believe we're bringing new life to America, Mr. President, through work and through all the jobs that people are doing around this table.

00:01:43.980 And with the one big, beautiful bill, the bill, the most extensive tax break in American history,

00:01:51.280 Opportunity Zones are now made permanent.

00:01:54.380 And you know how passionate I am, and you are too, sir, about Opportunity Zones.

00:01:57.820 And so this will allow us to continue to build affordable housing around our country.

00:02:03.880 And, Mr. Vice President, I'm coming your way.

00:02:06.180 I'm coming to Columbus later this week.

00:02:08.780 And to see how we can continue to build affordable housing in our country with Opportunity Zones. 0.99

00:02:15.300 And, you know, one million people, Mr. President, were lifted out of poverty because of Opportunity Zones.

00:02:21.220 $90 billion of private money was invested in Opportunity Zones, urban, tribal, and rural.

00:02:28.400 And now that they've been made permanent, we're looking for millions more to be lifted out of poverty,

00:02:33.100 $100 billion to be invested, hundreds of thousands of jobs to be created,

00:02:38.620 hundreds of thousands of units of housing to come online.

00:02:42.320 And so, sir, I sit here very excited about the future of this country.

00:02:46.640 I'm very proud to be at this table, humbled to do so.

00:02:49.760 And HUD, we're on a good path.

00:02:52.660 So thank you for all your support in helping us, sir.

00:02:55.320 Thank you very much.

00:02:55.860 God bless you.

00:02:56.880 And I want to give credit to Tim Scott, great senator from a place called South Carolina that we love.

00:03:03.620 And Tim really came up with Opportunity Zones.

00:03:07.180 And we did a good job of working with him.

00:03:09.620 And together we created something that nobody speaks of very much,

00:03:14.000 but it's probably the most successful thing that's ever been done of its kind.

00:03:18.660 It's been amazing.

00:03:20.120 So Tim Scott deserves a lot of credit for that.

00:03:23.040 Thank you.

00:03:23.660 Thank you.

00:03:24.780 So, Russell, go ahead.

00:03:26.140 Thank you, Mr. President.

00:03:27.160 And I get the opportunity to go hand by hand with all of these people as they move their D-regs 1.00

00:03:32.100 through the Office of Management and Budget.

00:03:34.780 And I wanted to zoom out for a second.

00:03:36.940 In the first term, you gave us a goal of two for one.

00:03:39.220 And then we outperformed it through your leadership.

00:03:42.460 We came in at around five and a half, six for one.

00:03:45.380 And then as you're running for your second term, you put out a goal that when you put it out,

00:03:51.080 I was thinking to myself, that's going to be a pretty ambitious goal.

00:03:53.280 You said 10 for one.

00:03:54.300 Well, where we are right now, in just one year, basically eight months,

00:04:01.100 we are at 245 deregulatory initiatives planned by these agencies.

00:04:06.540 That comes out to 30 for one.

00:04:09.600 So we are making incredible strides.

00:04:12.420 And, you know, as you're focused on the details of each one, I mean, these aren't small things.

00:04:16.700 Endangerment finding is one of the most deregulatory things in the history of this country.

00:04:21.700 NEPA reform, incredibly deregulatory.

00:04:26.360 WOTUS just came in, which is Waters of the United States.

00:04:29.140 So every single one of these agencies is doing incredible work when it comes to deregulatory.

00:04:35.560 And when you add that to the work being done to get us going on energy, reduce spending,

00:04:42.020 we're going to lower costs for the American people.

00:04:44.300 We're going to be able to have innovative jobs and get them back to work.

00:04:48.340 So thank you for your leadership, Mr. President.

00:04:49.800 Thank you. Great job, Russell. Appreciate it.

00:04:52.820 John? Central casting, I call him.

00:04:55.040 He's central.

00:04:56.860 Well, Mr. President, I'm grateful to be with everyone today.

00:05:00.280 And as we're talking about jobs and workforce at CIA, consistent with your directives to all of us,

00:05:07.040 we've embraced your mantra for a leaner, more effective, more efficient workforce.

00:05:13.480 But at CIA, Mr. President, we had an additional challenge because, as you know,

00:05:19.440 at times, our workforce had been misdirected.

00:05:23.700 Its focus put on political narratives, some that even worked against you

00:05:29.140 and always worked against the American people.

00:05:32.020 I hear about that.

00:05:34.560 But under your leadership and your direction, we have been focused back on the core mission

00:05:39.640 of what CIA is supposed to be doing, which is to provide you and this entire incredible team

00:05:44.560 around the table with a decisive strategic advantage in accomplishing your goals.

00:05:49.740 And your success in that regard, the examples are clear and many.

00:05:55.060 With regard to Iran, everyone knows that our DOD partners executed that mission flawlessly.

00:06:01.760 But flawless military operations are subject to flawless intelligence.

00:06:06.700 And as you know, Mr. President, CIA was the backbone in terms of its intelligence operations

00:06:12.100 in providing that flawless execution that allowed you and your team

00:06:17.060 to obliterate Iranian nuclear facilities and set back a nuclear program by years.

00:06:23.360 Likewise, with regard to your ability to prevent and to preempt wars between India and Pakistan,

00:06:31.380 between Armenia and Azerbaijan, between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo,

00:06:36.740 in all those cases, CIA intelligence supported you and your entire team in making that possible.

00:06:43.740 It's not just you.

00:06:44.660 It's the folks around this table, Secretary Besson, Secretary Luckman, Trade Representative Greer,

00:06:50.260 and their great successful negotiations on trade and tariffs.

00:06:54.140 Again, it was a CIA workforce working to enable them to accomplish your goals.

00:06:59.280 So as we roll into Labor Day, I tell you that the CIA workforce at the Trump CIA

00:07:05.220 is grateful to be focused on what it's supposed to be,

00:07:08.520 which is helping you prevent and end wars and to make America safer.

00:07:14.520 Thank you very much.

00:07:15.520 You've been really fantastic, but I'm not surprised.

00:07:19.080 I've known John a long time.

00:07:20.680 I'm not surprised at all.

00:07:21.980 Thank you very much.

00:07:23.720 Steve, please.

00:07:25.220 Mr. President, working for this government, for you, is the greatest honor of my life.

00:07:31.200 I tell it to everybody, and I really do feel that way, and I thank you,

00:07:34.740 because it's a privilege to go out there and represent you in your humanitarian effort,

00:07:44.920 in your goals of solving conflicts all over the world.

00:07:50.440 I think there were actually more than seven conflicts that you put to bed in the last eight months.

00:07:57.900 And I hear these, I travel all over the world.

00:08:00.660 In Hostage Square, they talk about you reverentially.

00:08:03.500 It's really quite amazing.

00:08:05.180 I sometimes wish that I had a cam recorder with me,

00:08:08.000 and I could put you right there as I listen to it.

00:08:11.440 I was in Gaza, the first American diplomat.

00:08:13.700 But on your behalf, and as we delivered food and aid pursuant to your new aid initiative,

00:08:21.380 pushed forth by your great Secretary of State, Marco Rubio,

00:08:26.360 who it is a privilege for me to work alongside,

00:08:29.640 the people were applauding you.

00:08:32.540 The signs were up.

00:08:33.780 I mean, these are people who, I just don't think you get the proper credit for it all.

00:08:38.120 We are negotiating multiple entries into the Abraham Peace Accords because of your vision.

00:08:46.380 Azerbaijan, all these different conflicts that we're out there on your behalf on,

00:08:52.640 they're all, these are people who have never really seen the world change in this way.

00:08:57.200 Peace through strength really, really works.

00:08:59.140 Russia, Ukraine, Iran, Israel, Hamas,

00:09:04.820 we're having meetings all this week on all three of those conflicts,

00:09:08.700 and we hope to settle them before the end of this year.

00:09:11.300 Your team is nothing short of incredible.

00:09:14.340 And there's only one thing I wish for,

00:09:16.740 that that noble committee finally gets its act together

00:09:20.260 and realizes that you are the single finest candidate

00:09:23.400 since the noble piece, this noble award was ever talked about,

00:09:28.140 to receive that reward beyond your success

00:09:32.100 is game-changing out in the world today.

00:09:35.040 And I hope everybody one day wakes up and realizes that.

00:09:38.080 Thank you, Steve.

00:09:46.740 Jameson, please.

00:09:48.140 Mr. President, I like to think of Labor Day as the Trump trade policy day.

00:09:51.860 Because everyone around this table and everyone listening knows

00:09:55.320 that one of the major reasons why American workers and organized labor

00:09:59.380 voted for you is because of your trade policy

00:10:01.860 and the policies you've had and advocated for for 40 years or more.

00:10:06.760 You have reset global trade policy in the past few months,

00:10:10.980 and it shows that it's been working for American workers.

00:10:15.440 When you look at President Biden,

00:10:16.720 in the last quarter of 2024,

00:10:19.080 median weekly earnings fell 2.1%.

00:10:22.280 In the first quarter of your term,

00:10:24.600 they went up 3.3%.

00:10:26.700 And that's why we're doing the trade policy we're doing.

00:10:29.000 It's to help the workers of the United States of America.

00:10:31.960 And they're the best in the world,

00:10:33.100 but they can't do it without a level playing field.

00:10:35.360 And you have flipped the script.

00:10:37.280 For many years,

00:10:38.520 the other countries had high tariffs and high non-tariff barriers

00:10:41.100 while we were open to all of their labor and services and goods and capital.

00:10:47.140 You flipped it.

00:10:47.880 Now we have the tariffs,

00:10:49.160 and they have lowered theirs and non-tariff barriers.

00:10:51.360 And we couldn't have done it without you

00:10:52.340 and the leverage you've created.

00:10:54.260 So between the tariffs and the deals,

00:10:56.080 the hot streak continues for the workers of America.

00:10:58.740 So thank you.

00:10:59.840 Thank you very much.

00:11:02.060 Really good job, by the way.

00:11:04.080 It's a good negotiator.

00:11:05.680 Good negotiator.

00:11:07.080 Thank you.

00:11:07.600 Well, Mr. President,

00:11:11.200 I feel like, as everybody here has talked about

00:11:13.800 how great working with this team is and all,

00:11:16.080 but I do feel a special need that you've given me the privilege

00:11:19.060 of working with the best of America.

00:11:21.200 I get to take care of the veterans.

00:11:23.360 I get to take care of the veterans

00:11:25.240 who Labor Day really finds its roots in,

00:11:27.800 if you think about it.

00:11:29.100 We wouldn't have Labor Day

00:11:30.180 if it wasn't for men and women who would leave their jobs 1.00

00:11:31.940 and go fight this nation's battles

00:11:33.700 to keep us free and independent

00:11:34.980 so that they would have jobs to come home to.

00:11:36.960 And over the past few years,

00:11:39.020 they've been coming home to many times

00:11:40.720 a government that was keeping them back,

00:11:43.260 holding them back, taxing them, regulating them.

00:11:46.140 And now we have veterans who represent the bill,

00:11:49.180 the big, beautiful bill.

00:11:50.480 They're the beneficiaries of.

00:11:51.940 And I get to see them all the time

00:11:53.260 because they're receiving the benefit

00:11:54.840 because they see the jobs.

00:11:55.900 They see the care that they've been given.

00:11:57.820 And these veterans can look at their country with pride,

00:11:59.620 knowing that we're taking care of them,

00:12:00.660 just like you told me to do.

00:12:02.080 When your only statement you said to me,

00:12:04.040 I asked you what to do,

00:12:04.760 you said, go take care of my veterans.

00:12:05.820 Well, that's what we're doing.

00:12:07.340 One of the other things we're doing right now

00:12:08.900 is for many of you,

00:12:09.920 I love to hear how you're deregulating everything.

00:12:12.120 And I've worked from Congress

00:12:12.980 and worked with many of you before.

00:12:14.320 I get to do the same thing

00:12:15.400 with the largest bureaucratic organization

00:12:16.920 in the government.

00:12:18.060 We're deregulating from the inside.

00:12:20.580 And it's amazing to me

00:12:22.300 because we have such a powerful workforce

00:12:23.940 at the VA who really want to do good,

00:12:25.620 but yet they kept tripping themselves up.

00:12:27.640 They kept making their own.

00:12:29.080 They'd take one step forward

00:12:30.140 and put a regulation in

00:12:31.180 and put them three steps back

00:12:32.280 and it always hurt our veterans at the end.

00:12:33.960 We're taking that away.

00:12:35.120 We're making community care again, Mr. President.

00:12:36.880 We talked about this yesterday.

00:12:38.300 We're making community care

00:12:39.220 a part of our direct care system.

00:12:40.660 So if a veteran wants to get into the community, 0.97

00:12:42.760 they have our direct care

00:12:43.560 and they also have the ability

00:12:44.440 to go into the community.

00:12:45.660 Something that the previous administration decided

00:12:47.300 they wanted to keep everybody inside

00:12:48.900 because they thought it was a fiefdom

00:12:50.160 they were building.

00:12:50.880 I'm telling you,

00:12:51.440 we're not building a fiefdom at the VA.

00:12:52.800 We're trying to take care of a service organization

00:12:54.660 that takes care of veterans.

00:12:56.120 So how do we do that?

00:12:57.400 We make best medical interest

00:12:58.500 where a doctor can send a veteran

00:13:00.120 to the community a little lot quicker

00:13:01.520 without having to worry about miles

00:13:02.820 and time log and wait times.

00:13:05.040 Just get them the help they need.

00:13:06.660 We've actually expanded out

00:13:07.760 and it's made a difference

00:13:09.140 in this regulation

00:13:10.480 and also unleashed a workforce

00:13:12.560 that is now free

00:13:13.680 of the collective bargain agreements

00:13:16.000 and other things

00:13:16.520 that have kept them

00:13:17.120 from being able to do the job

00:13:18.240 of national security

00:13:19.020 that they've been intended to.

00:13:20.560 I'm actually giving them

00:13:21.680 the benefit of the doubt

00:13:22.700 to actually go be the workers

00:13:24.180 that they're called to be

00:13:24.960 and that's what Labor Day is about.

00:13:26.300 The VA is going to have the best workers.

00:13:28.180 But just to let you know

00:13:29.000 how that's working out,

00:13:30.100 wait times at our hospital

00:13:31.120 are going down

00:13:32.100 because we're getting them

00:13:33.340 into our hospitals

00:13:33.920 or into community care.

00:13:35.220 And then one for you,

00:13:35.940 Mr. President,

00:13:36.340 you heard about this a lot

00:13:37.320 and that was backlogs.

00:13:39.240 At the backlog when I first came in,

00:13:40.760 I've said this before,

00:13:41.840 in February we had over 260,000 backlogs.

00:13:44.900 That means over 125 days

00:13:46.620 of not getting an answer.

00:13:48.600 In just a little over

00:13:49.460 four and a half months

00:13:50.160 we've dropped that over 100,000.

00:13:52.820 We're under 150

00:13:53.660 and heading down to historic lows.

00:13:55.840 We'll be within the next month

00:13:57.080 lower than any time

00:13:58.200 under the previous administration at all.

00:14:00.100 That means our veterans

00:14:00.760 are getting the help they need.

00:14:02.040 So when you look at it this way,

00:14:03.080 we've opened new facilities.

00:14:04.500 We've put new facilities

00:14:05.400 in places where workers can get to.

00:14:07.180 We've expanded out hours,

00:14:08.380 over a million extra hours

00:14:09.940 so veterans,

00:14:10.600 younger veterans in particular,

00:14:11.880 can get off of work

00:14:12.800 and bring themselves

00:14:13.880 and get their appointments

00:14:14.700 in after hours on Saturdays.

00:14:16.500 That's what it means

00:14:17.180 to be in the Trump administration.

00:14:18.780 That's what it means

00:14:19.380 to take care of veterans.

00:14:20.920 That's what it means

00:14:21.460 for Labor Day

00:14:22.020 because you can't forget

00:14:23.420 the ones who fought for us

00:14:25.180 to be on this table today.

00:14:26.600 And it's all because

00:14:27.180 of what you've done

00:14:27.800 in the progress that we've made.

00:14:30.480 Well, you've done a tremendous job

00:14:32.680 and I hear it all the time.

00:14:35.260 We have a 93% approval rating

00:14:38.020 at the VA now.

00:14:39.380 And you know what it was before.

00:14:41.060 It was like horrible.

00:14:43.320 So thank you very much.

00:14:45.220 Mr. President,

00:14:46.420 there's been some conversation

00:14:47.520 about the Pete and Bobby challenge.

00:14:49.820 I would just note that

00:14:52.340 I don't think Peter and Bobby

00:14:53.400 could hold these sticks

00:14:54.340 for two and a half hours.

00:14:55.720 Exactly.

00:14:57.080 If they want that to be the challenge,

00:14:58.680 so be it.

00:14:59.120 But I think 50 pull-ups

00:15:00.760 and 100 push-ups

00:15:01.400 might be easy compared to the...

00:15:02.820 You didn't have this problem

00:15:05.680 with Biden.

00:15:07.400 He was in and out very quickly.

00:15:09.980 So kudos on Labor Day

00:15:11.360 to the audio team

00:15:12.300 that's holding the sticks.

00:15:14.120 But Mr. President,

00:15:15.400 it's pretty great

00:15:16.680 to celebrate Labor Day

00:15:17.660 with Builder,

00:15:18.820 who loves labor,

00:15:21.300 who loves the men and women

00:15:22.660 who built this country,

00:15:23.620 the people that sweat,

00:15:27.160 that have great skills,

00:15:29.100 they have grit,

00:15:30.160 they do the dirty jobs of America

00:15:31.540 that have made this country great.

00:15:32.760 And you know them very well

00:15:33.680 because you have worked with them.

00:15:34.980 The great Trump projects

00:15:36.080 have come from the very men and women

00:15:38.120 we're going into this weekend

00:15:39.180 to celebrate.

00:15:41.280 We all want to claim Labor Day

00:15:42.660 in our departments,

00:15:43.620 but I'm going to claim this at DOT

00:15:44.580 because, you know,

00:15:46.040 roads, bridges, pipelines,

00:15:49.420 shipbuilding, rail,

00:15:50.920 passenger, and freight

00:15:52.980 all fall under the great men and women

00:15:55.940 who wear boots

00:15:57.560 and make this country wonderful.

00:15:59.760 And at DOT,

00:16:00.800 we don't want to have

00:16:02.240 the Congress spend money.

00:16:03.920 We want to take the money

00:16:05.280 that Congress gives us

00:16:06.420 and actually deploy it

00:16:08.340 and put these men and women

00:16:10.160 to work building

00:16:11.160 the great projects

00:16:11.920 of this country.

00:16:13.100 You said the big, beautiful projects

00:16:14.620 that connect this country.

00:16:16.620 And that's why we have

00:16:18.140 got rid of the DEI.

00:16:20.120 We've got rid of the green.

00:16:22.180 We've done what we can

00:16:23.220 to streamline the regulation

00:16:24.920 to move these projects faster.

00:16:27.060 Time is money.

00:16:28.600 And time has been money.

00:16:29.500 Even Democrats agree now

00:16:30.840 that it takes too long

00:16:32.340 to go through

00:16:32.760 the regulatory process.

00:16:34.160 So we're going to move

00:16:35.040 these projects faster,

00:16:37.600 putting the great American worker

00:16:39.520 back to work.

00:16:40.420 I want to make a quick comment.

00:16:42.360 We've all probably talked

00:16:43.540 about this horrific accident

00:16:44.960 in Florida.

00:16:46.680 And I appreciate the help

00:16:48.600 of Christy and Marco

00:16:49.500 on this very issue.

00:16:51.360 But in May, we said,

00:16:53.700 listen, it's a safety issue

00:16:54.800 if you can't proficiently

00:16:56.980 speak the English language.

00:16:58.480 And we gave states

00:16:59.840 a little over a month

00:17:00.780 to comply.

00:17:02.140 And Washington, California,

00:17:03.840 and New Mexico

00:17:04.440 have refused to comply.

00:17:06.740 And by the way,

00:17:07.220 this individual in Florida

00:17:08.380 received a CDL from Washington

00:17:10.720 from California

00:17:12.420 and received a speeding ticket

00:17:13.960 after a rule went into place

00:17:15.380 and they didn't stop him.

00:17:17.340 And had they taken him

00:17:18.300 out of service,

00:17:19.260 he wouldn't have been in Florida

00:17:19.980 and we would have

00:17:20.440 three beautiful people

00:17:21.800 alive today.

00:17:22.520 And I make that point

00:17:25.100 because it's the work

00:17:26.900 that maybe no one sees

00:17:27.860 that then shines a light

00:17:30.340 when horrific things happen,

00:17:32.020 but also that your cabinet

00:17:33.060 works together

00:17:33.680 and teams up

00:17:36.340 to make a difference

00:17:37.220 for the American people.

00:17:40.340 Real quickly,

00:17:41.500 so we have a safety mission

00:17:42.540 at DOT.

00:17:43.400 I don't know that you'd think

00:17:44.340 of the transit unions

00:17:45.420 in the greatest cities

00:17:46.520 of the country,

00:17:48.240 New York maybe being one of them,

00:17:49.460 that support us,

00:17:51.100 but they do

00:17:52.000 because the violence

00:17:53.380 in the subways

00:17:54.240 and on our buses

00:17:55.880 across the country,

00:17:57.200 the transit workers

00:17:57.920 are the ones

00:17:58.300 who take the most abuse.

00:17:59.660 And they're grateful

00:18:00.480 for the mission

00:18:01.360 of everybody around this table

00:18:02.820 fighting to make

00:18:03.920 their communities safer.

00:18:05.940 So I appreciate

00:18:06.600 everyone's help on that.

00:18:08.320 But again,

00:18:08.980 the transit unions

00:18:09.600 love the effort

00:18:10.940 that all of us

00:18:11.520 have put in together.

00:18:13.680 One quick FAA.

00:18:15.220 We are about to put out

00:18:19.180 a request for proposals

00:18:20.360 for a big, beautiful bill.

00:18:22.120 We got build, not build.

00:18:24.180 Build.

00:18:24.900 We got 12.5 billion

00:18:26.320 in the big, beautiful bill.

00:18:27.560 We need more,

00:18:28.160 but this is a great start.

00:18:29.740 I expect the middle

00:18:31.840 till the later part of July

00:18:33.440 we'll be through the process

00:18:34.320 to bring the proposed

00:18:35.760 integrators to you

00:18:36.680 for selection.

00:18:37.440 So we're looking forward

00:18:38.100 to that.

00:18:39.180 We will have the most

00:18:40.280 of learning from you.

00:18:41.620 This is going to be

00:18:42.100 the greatest contract

00:18:43.200 ever crafted

00:18:44.880 in the federal government

00:18:45.980 for this build

00:18:47.540 for air traffic control.

00:18:48.640 Really, it's innovative

00:18:49.700 and we have unique tools

00:18:50.620 at FAA.

00:18:51.240 It's going to be

00:18:51.560 a great contract.

00:18:54.160 Bobby left me out

00:18:54.980 of the windmill conversation,

00:18:56.160 Bobby, but I...

00:18:57.340 So there was a study

00:18:58.340 done in the last administration

00:18:59.340 that said

00:19:00.720 if you build windmills

00:19:02.360 1.2 miles,

00:19:04.140 within 1.2 miles

00:19:05.120 from a roadway,

00:19:06.340 it can mess up

00:19:07.620 the automation

00:19:09.400 and technology on a car.

00:19:11.480 Same thing 1.2 miles

00:19:13.040 from rail.

00:19:14.100 The last administration

00:19:15.220 buried that report,

00:19:16.160 Mr. President.

00:19:17.320 And so now

00:19:18.320 what we've said is

00:19:19.160 what we're going to do

00:19:20.300 is say,

00:19:20.860 listen, I'm sorry,

00:19:21.920 it is a safety risk

00:19:22.920 to build windmills

00:19:23.640 this close to roads.

00:19:24.740 By the way,

00:19:24.980 they want to build them

00:19:25.760 by roads and by rail.

00:19:27.360 We're going to say no more.

00:19:28.560 It is a safety risk.

00:19:29.540 And we have a report

00:19:30.120 to show that.

00:19:31.360 And just real quick...

00:19:32.060 Good idea.

00:19:34.000 That's great.

00:19:34.400 Good team effort.

00:19:35.260 I wasn't invited

00:19:35.840 to the party,

00:19:36.380 but, you know,

00:19:36.820 I'm still going to

00:19:37.240 fit in the party.

00:19:39.420 Maybe next time, Bobby.

00:19:40.580 One last thing.

00:19:43.120 We have this

00:19:43.600 Mars to Moon mission

00:19:44.800 at NASA.

00:19:46.600 No, Moon to Mars mission.

00:19:47.740 Sorry about that.

00:19:48.760 But sometimes people think

00:19:50.120 that space doesn't matter

00:19:50.900 to them.

00:19:51.680 But if you look

00:19:52.300 at every rocket

00:19:52.980 that's launched,

00:19:54.060 the machinists,

00:19:55.900 the truck drivers,

00:19:56.980 the electricians,

00:19:57.680 the welders

00:19:58.420 that build these rockets

00:19:59.740 in the industry

00:20:00.860 that has developed

00:20:03.180 over the course

00:20:04.040 of the last 10 years

00:20:04.860 in space,

00:20:05.560 it's truly remarkable.

00:20:06.840 It's not just,

00:20:07.700 you know,

00:20:08.240 rich guys setting up

00:20:09.180 rockets in partnership

00:20:10.000 with NASA.

00:20:10.840 There's a whole industry

00:20:12.160 of working men and women

00:20:13.800 who we celebrate

00:20:14.300 this weekend

00:20:14.780 that build,

00:20:16.540 refurbish,

00:20:17.980 design the rockets

00:20:19.240 that are making America

00:20:20.300 the leader in space.

00:20:21.180 So, thank you

00:20:22.120 for your leadership

00:20:22.620 and happy to celebrate

00:20:23.660 this weekend

00:20:24.440 with you, Mr. President.

00:20:25.200 Really great.

00:20:26.460 And he is doing

00:20:27.080 a good job at NASA, too.

00:20:28.420 And we are...

00:20:29.840 I think we'll have

00:20:30.440 some pretty exciting

00:20:31.280 announcements.

00:20:33.080 Yes, we do.

00:20:33.400 And you enjoy it.

00:20:34.620 I'm fun.

00:20:35.280 I said,

00:20:35.700 how about temporary?

00:20:36.400 He said,

00:20:36.960 well, can I go

00:20:37.520 a little bit longer?

00:20:38.280 He loves it.

00:20:39.680 He loves it.

00:20:40.720 And he's doing

00:20:41.120 a really good job.

00:20:41.900 Thank you very much.

00:20:42.780 Appreciate it.

00:20:43.980 Howard, please.

00:20:45.520 So, making America 0.63

00:20:47.680 great again

00:20:48.580 is one of the key statements

00:20:51.560 and people don't always

00:20:52.820 understand what you mean.

00:20:54.700 So, we always talk

00:20:56.020 about 1870 to 1913.

00:20:58.580 But in the mid-1980s,

00:21:01.340 America owned 0.94

00:21:02.500 more of the rest

00:21:03.820 of the world

00:21:04.300 than they owned of us.

00:21:05.380 We owned $140 billion

00:21:08.140 of the rest of the world

00:21:09.820 net of what they owned of us.

00:21:12.300 And when you came

00:21:13.200 into office this time,

00:21:14.840 the rest of the world

00:21:16.280 owned $24 trillion

00:21:19.760 more of our assets

00:21:22.640 than we owned of theirs.

00:21:24.300 And so, when people

00:21:25.440 argue with you

00:21:26.520 about, you know,

00:21:28.340 the trade deficit

00:21:29.800 is nothing.

00:21:31.560 The trade deficit

00:21:32.820 sends $1.2 trillion

00:21:34.880 of our dollars

00:21:35.780 to them.

00:21:36.780 And what do they do with it?

00:21:38.240 They buy the great America.

00:21:40.020 Because when we learned

00:21:40.900 in college,

00:21:41.580 what we learned

00:21:42.160 was that

00:21:42.640 if you keep printing

00:21:44.080 these dollars,

00:21:44.960 they're supposed

00:21:45.380 to devalue.

00:21:46.340 But the problem

00:21:47.640 is we're too smart.

00:21:49.280 We invented

00:21:49.800 the light bulb,

00:21:50.980 the transistor,

00:21:51.980 the GPU.

00:21:53.000 So they keep

00:21:53.580 buying us.

00:21:55.320 And the only

00:21:56.300 president ever

00:21:57.840 to understand

00:21:59.020 that,

00:21:59.260 and you understood

00:21:59.820 it in the 80s

00:22:00.800 and the 90s,

00:22:01.780 and I used to,

00:22:02.560 you know,

00:22:02.780 see you on TV

00:22:03.700 and you'd say,

00:22:04.380 God,

00:22:04.820 what are these people

00:22:05.700 doing?

00:22:06.840 And finally,

00:22:07.580 we've changed it.

00:22:08.760 So let's go over

00:22:09.560 what we've changed.

00:22:10.920 So Japan and Korea, 0.72

00:22:12.980 they're never going

00:22:13.840 to open their markets

00:22:14.700 to us.

00:22:15.500 So we've negotiated

00:22:16.980 $900 billion

00:22:19.200 that they're giving you

00:22:21.060 to invest in national

00:22:22.600 and economic security

00:22:23.740 in America.

00:22:25.300 The European Union,

00:22:27.060 the second largest economy,

00:22:28.640 $20 trillion.

00:22:30.260 And all the experts said

00:22:31.360 you'd never get a deal

00:22:32.880 done with them.

00:22:33.920 And watching you

00:22:34.600 in Scotland

00:22:35.120 was my favorite thing,

00:22:36.720 right?

00:22:38.340 15%.

00:22:38.900 They'll pay us 15%.

00:22:40.920 And we will pay zero.

00:22:43.340 So we can

00:22:44.420 export to their

00:22:45.460 $20 trillion economy

00:22:47.320 and they can pay

00:22:48.720 to come to the

00:22:49.740 great American consumer.

00:22:52.580 Right?

00:22:53.060 So,

00:22:53.580 a couple of other things.

00:22:56.620 Four days before

00:22:57.780 you took office,

00:22:58.940 four days before

00:22:59.740 you took office,

00:23:00.400 the Commerce Department,

00:23:01.640 which had the chips money,

00:23:03.400 they set up this thing

00:23:04.400 called Natcast,

00:23:06.200 which was a make-believe

00:23:07.900 not-for-profit.

00:23:09.160 And they signed contracts

00:23:10.520 to wire them

00:23:11.260 $7.4 billion.

00:23:12.880 This was just nonsense.

00:23:16.160 So,

00:23:16.560 we stopped the payment.

00:23:18.420 We've got the money.

00:23:19.520 It's an illegal thing

00:23:20.800 to try to set up

00:23:21.680 a department

00:23:22.340 that's not

00:23:23.440 the Department of Commerce,

00:23:24.720 that kind of acts

00:23:25.720 like the Department of Commerce.

00:23:27.140 And what was it filled with?

00:23:28.980 All these people

00:23:30.000 who worked

00:23:30.300 for the Biden administration.

00:23:31.480 I mean,

00:23:31.660 it's exact corruption

00:23:33.300 that you talk about.

00:23:34.820 $7.4 billion

00:23:36.540 now clawed back.

00:23:39.160 Last week

00:23:39.920 was the most fun.

00:23:41.500 In one week,

00:23:43.220 Intel came in.

00:23:44.960 Right?

00:23:45.340 The Biden administration

00:23:46.360 had given

00:23:47.180 $11 billion

00:23:49.160 to Intel.

00:23:50.460 Given it to them.

00:23:51.460 Done.

00:23:52.300 Corporate just gift.

00:23:54.080 And you turn that into

00:23:55.300 really,

00:23:56.360 you know,

00:23:56.640 it was like

00:23:57.040 less than five minutes

00:23:58.440 of conversation.

00:24:00.500 And Intel agreed

00:24:01.720 to give us

00:24:02.360 10% of their company,

00:24:04.360 which of course

00:24:05.020 was worth

00:24:05.640 $11 billion.

00:24:07.700 So,

00:24:08.160 it's not

00:24:08.820 socialism.

00:24:10.280 This is capitalism.

00:24:11.920 If you give someone

00:24:12.880 $11 billion

00:24:13.760 who's just building

00:24:15.200 in America,

00:24:15.720 they're not doing

00:24:16.260 something special.

00:24:17.440 They're building

00:24:17.820 in America.

00:24:18.660 And their CEO

00:24:19.540 told the president

00:24:20.840 he didn't need

00:24:22.000 the grant.

00:24:23.180 And you said,

00:24:23.900 well then,

00:24:24.220 why don't we get

00:24:25.000 something for it?

00:24:26.140 So,

00:24:26.980 it's amazing.

00:24:28.160 You go in and watch

00:24:29.000 semiconductors come home.

00:24:31.720 Right?

00:24:32.040 We don't produce

00:24:33.380 semiconductors.

00:24:34.800 We've got $165 billion

00:24:36.580 for TSMC.

00:24:37.820 But you're going to watch

00:24:38.680 the whole ecosystem

00:24:40.020 come home

00:24:40.720 because Donald Trump

00:24:41.840 is the only president

00:24:42.700 who understands

00:24:43.520 the magnet to make

00:24:45.280 him come home

00:24:45.880 is one word,

00:24:47.240 which used to be

00:24:47.880 a favorite word.

00:24:48.540 Now it's dropped

00:24:49.080 to number four,

00:24:50.040 which is tariffs.

00:24:51.860 Right?

00:24:52.120 Tariffs are going to

00:24:52.600 bring semiconductors home.

00:24:54.220 They are going to

00:24:54.880 empower Bobby

00:24:55.700 to execute MFN.

00:24:57.940 Tariffs are going to

00:24:58.520 be one of those tools

00:24:59.560 that he's going to use

00:25:00.320 to do that.

00:25:00.900 We're going to do it

00:25:01.760 for furniture.

00:25:02.580 We're getting autos.

00:25:03.760 We got steel aluminum.

00:25:04.940 I mean,

00:25:05.140 it has been a blast.

00:25:07.860 A blast. 0.93

00:25:08.720 So,

00:25:09.680 two more things.

00:25:11.360 The Department of Commerce

00:25:13.140 is going to start

00:25:13.960 issuing its statistics

00:25:15.960 on the blockchain

00:25:17.300 because you are

00:25:18.140 the crypto president

00:25:19.160 and we are going

00:25:20.380 to put out GDP

00:25:21.380 on the blockchain

00:25:22.960 so people can use

00:25:24.240 the blockchain

00:25:24.800 for data,

00:25:26.180 distribution,

00:25:27.100 and then we're going

00:25:27.860 to make that available

00:25:28.860 to the entire government

00:25:30.440 so all of you

00:25:31.380 can do it.

00:25:32.080 We're just ironing out

00:25:32.940 all the details

00:25:33.580 so we can do it.

00:25:35.720 Patents.

00:25:37.040 We have given tens,

00:25:39.580 if not hundreds,

00:25:40.580 of billions of dollars

00:25:41.660 to universities

00:25:42.800 for them to do research

00:25:44.360 and they invent things.

00:25:46.380 And you know

00:25:46.660 who owns those patents?

00:25:48.400 The universities.

00:25:49.900 So we are going

00:25:50.960 to make a deal

00:25:51.680 with them all,

00:25:52.640 which is,

00:25:52.980 if we give them

00:25:54.320 the money,

00:25:55.580 don't you think

00:25:56.380 it's fair

00:25:56.880 that the United States

00:25:58.420 of America

00:25:58.900 and the taxpayers

00:26:00.180 who funded it

00:26:01.380 get a piece of that?

00:26:03.580 Right?

00:26:04.220 So we wrote a letter

00:26:04.980 to Harvard,

00:26:05.620 so Linda and I

00:26:06.300 are working together.

00:26:07.400 I mean,

00:26:07.680 it's so much fun

00:26:08.420 to work with everybody here.

00:26:09.700 I mean,

00:26:09.880 we just have a blast.

00:26:11.580 You know,

00:26:11.800 because Linda's 0.99

00:26:12.420 hitting Harvard

00:26:13.320 and she says,

00:26:14.360 what can we do?

00:26:15.500 And now we send

00:26:16.120 them a patent letter 0.60

00:26:17.060 and we'll hit them again.

00:26:18.260 So,

00:26:18.920 we're having fun together.

00:26:21.340 This is the greatest cabinet

00:26:24.140 working for

00:26:25.260 the greatest president

00:26:26.280 and I just want

00:26:27.340 to say thank you.

00:26:28.240 I'm having the time

00:26:29.080 of my life

00:26:29.760 working for you,

00:26:31.180 Mr. President.

00:26:31.860 Thank you.

00:26:32.500 That was very well stated,

00:26:34.900 wasn't it?

00:26:36.280 Some things people

00:26:37.420 don't think of too much.

00:26:39.240 Thank you very much.

00:26:40.020 Great job.

00:26:40.840 Pete?

00:26:41.800 Sir,

00:26:42.140 well,

00:26:42.540 amen to what Howard said

00:26:43.620 and I would just say,

00:26:44.480 heading into Labor Day

00:26:46.080 from the American military,

00:26:47.140 sir,

00:26:47.240 we happen to be

00:26:47.840 the largest employer

00:26:48.840 in America.

00:26:50.280 We like to think

00:26:50.780 we have a different

00:26:51.280 form of employees

00:26:52.260 who need to be

00:26:54.560 the toughest

00:26:55.000 and the strongest

00:26:56.200 and the most well-trained

00:26:57.440 and the most lethal.

00:26:59.300 And under the previous

00:26:59.980 administration

00:27:00.500 and for decades,

00:27:01.280 frankly,

00:27:02.180 it was social justice,

00:27:03.760 it was political correctness,

00:27:05.580 it was divisive ideologies

00:27:07.040 seeping into the ranks

00:27:08.780 and changing

00:27:09.440 how well we do our job.

00:27:12.260 No more.

00:27:13.080 Now it is only

00:27:14.460 merit-based,

00:27:16.260 gender-neutral,

00:27:17.400 colorblind,

00:27:18.120 the best of the best

00:27:19.460 from the top

00:27:20.140 to the bottom,

00:27:21.060 that's our expectation.

00:27:22.620 And so you've

00:27:23.240 enabled that.

00:27:24.300 So from the troops

00:27:25.320 directly,

00:27:26.100 which they ask me

00:27:26.660 to say all the time,

00:27:27.820 thank you for your leadership,

00:27:29.240 for your boldness,

00:27:30.120 for your clarity,

00:27:31.420 for common sense,

00:27:33.120 for providing

00:27:33.660 a shield

00:27:34.700 for the rest of us

00:27:35.560 to put America first

00:27:36.720 and to apply

00:27:38.100 peace through strength.

00:27:39.420 We're in the strength business,

00:27:40.680 that's our job,

00:27:41.420 is to stand behind

00:27:42.220 everybody here

00:27:43.000 and alongside John

00:27:44.600 in everything they do

00:27:46.680 to keep the country safe.

00:27:49.020 And the world

00:27:50.160 is noticing,

00:27:50.700 and I wish everybody could,

00:27:52.120 there were two meetings

00:27:52.820 yesterday that I think

00:27:53.600 tell the story.

00:27:54.620 One was,

00:27:55.500 because today happens

00:27:56.200 to be the four-year anniversary

00:27:57.720 of what happened

00:27:58.300 in Abbey Gate

00:27:58.840 in Afghanistan.

00:28:00.700 Mr. President,

00:28:01.220 you had the families in,

00:28:02.460 who you've met with

00:28:03.220 multiple times,

00:28:04.460 who when the cameras

00:28:05.200 were on and not on,

00:28:06.520 acknowledged,

00:28:07.480 sir,

00:28:07.800 you were the only one

00:28:08.980 that gave them

00:28:09.500 a proper greeting,

00:28:10.660 that recognized

00:28:11.500 what they gave

00:28:12.640 their sons and daughters

00:28:14.020 in the debacle

00:28:15.200 that was the withdrawal

00:28:16.120 in Afghanistan,

00:28:17.020 that we will bring

00:28:18.760 accountability for

00:28:19.520 the Defense Department

00:28:20.240 to our investigation.

00:28:21.340 That's good.

00:28:21.880 But at the same time,

00:28:23.380 the world, sadly,

00:28:24.740 took notice.

00:28:25.540 Whether it was Israel,

00:28:26.600 whether it was Ukraine,

00:28:27.480 those wars never would have started

00:28:28.640 if you were president.

00:28:30.160 Instead, 0.99

00:28:30.540 they looked at the foolishness 1.00

00:28:31.540 of Joe Biden. 0.98

00:28:32.740 Under your military,

00:28:34.600 your Pentagon,

00:28:35.440 we are restoring deterrence.

00:28:37.580 Whether it's Midnight Hammer

00:28:38.620 and those beautiful B2s, 1.00

00:28:39.860 37 hours straight,

00:28:41.720 whether it's

00:28:42.060 counter-drug operations

00:28:43.220 in our own hemisphere,

00:28:45.100 whether it's the border,

00:28:46.240 working with Christie

00:28:47.480 and the national security team,

00:28:49.160 whether it's L.A.,

00:28:49.820 whether it's Washington, D.C.,

00:28:51.060 you name it,

00:28:51.900 whether it's Europe,

00:28:53.040 our allies paying 5%.

00:28:54.460 Now our allies

00:28:55.320 in the Indo-Pacific

00:28:56.160 stepping up to do the same.

00:28:57.760 That's a recognition

00:28:58.480 that American leadership

00:28:59.680 is here.

00:29:01.220 And then in the second meeting,

00:29:02.080 we were talking about

00:29:02.960 what we're doing in D.C.

00:29:04.300 and Pam's taking the lead. 0.95

00:29:05.600 I have to say,

00:29:06.260 just pause for a second.

00:29:07.100 When I look around this table,

00:29:08.580 yes,

00:29:08.760 there's a national security team

00:29:10.000 of Steve Wyckoff

00:29:10.760 and John and Scott

00:29:12.700 and Howard

00:29:13.280 and the vice president

00:29:14.240 and Susie

00:29:14.980 and Christie

00:29:16.320 and Tulsi,

00:29:17.540 but to every person here,

00:29:19.060 we work together

00:29:19.640 on a daily basis.

00:29:20.980 And if you call me

00:29:21.660 and I call you,

00:29:22.540 the answer is yes,

00:29:23.520 how do we do it together?

00:29:24.440 I think that's exceptional.

00:29:26.040 It's what the American people deserve,

00:29:27.420 and you've demanded that, sir.

00:29:28.960 So I very much appreciate it.

00:29:30.980 In that meeting on D.C.,

00:29:32.260 I started my sentence

00:29:33.300 by saying,

00:29:33.960 the Department of Defense,

00:29:36.760 to which you said

00:29:37.460 that just doesn't sound right.

00:29:39.480 So maybe next time we're here,

00:29:40.960 my card will read

00:29:41.640 Department of War.

00:29:42.520 We'll see.

00:29:44.040 But it's not,

00:29:45.660 here's the thing,

00:29:46.300 here's what people miss.

00:29:47.760 It's not just about words.

00:29:50.200 It's about the warrior ethos.

00:29:52.560 It's about what the department

00:29:53.700 is supposed to do.

00:29:55.500 George Washington started

00:29:56.600 the Department of War

00:29:58.120 because he wanted us

00:29:59.020 to win our wars.

00:30:00.260 Our founders didn't want

00:30:01.880 endless foreign entanglements.

00:30:04.020 They didn't want

00:30:04.660 endless contingencies

00:30:06.000 and deployments.

00:30:07.100 They wanted an empowered military

00:30:08.700 that was,

00:30:09.700 the handcuffs were taken off

00:30:10.940 to fight to win

00:30:12.640 and then bring those troops home.

00:30:14.880 So my platoon in Guantanamo Bay,

00:30:17.060 our motto was,

00:30:18.680 those who long for peace

00:30:20.060 must declare for war

00:30:21.800 and must prepare for war.

00:30:23.580 We don't want war.

00:30:24.540 We don't seek it.

00:30:25.320 You are the peace president, sir.

00:30:26.640 Because we are strong,

00:30:28.040 our enemies know what we will do.

00:30:29.580 And so whether it's

00:30:30.900 secretary of war

00:30:31.720 or secretary of defense,

00:30:33.060 that warrior ethos is changing.

00:30:35.600 We're going back to basics.

00:30:37.380 Our drill instructors

00:30:38.220 can be drill instructors again, sir.

00:30:40.120 So from the minute

00:30:41.780 of the tactical of standards

00:30:43.260 to the strategic of B-2 bombers,

00:30:45.820 we're focused on what matters.

00:30:47.580 Had a meeting yesterday

00:30:48.280 on Golden Dome for America,

00:30:49.600 which is on track

00:30:50.380 to deliver strategically

00:30:51.500 for the American people.

00:30:52.960 Munitions and the deputy secretary

00:30:54.600 making sure our stockpiles

00:30:56.820 are overflowing.

00:30:58.080 That's our job.

00:30:58.880 I'm honored to be a part of it, sir.

00:31:00.580 Thank you for your leadership.

00:31:01.440 That's great.

00:31:02.060 I think he liked

00:31:03.060 the Department of War better,

00:31:04.500 but we'll make that decision, right?

00:31:06.900 But you've been great.

00:31:08.320 Thank you very much, sir.

00:31:09.760 Sir Marco, go ahead.

00:31:10.980 Well, Mr. President,

00:31:11.820 first of all,

00:31:12.200 everyone's made this comment already

00:31:13.360 and needs to be echoed again.

00:31:14.520 You were elected

00:31:15.380 as the president

00:31:16.020 of Working Americans,

00:31:17.080 and that's why this Labor Day

00:31:18.080 is so meaningful.

00:31:19.420 For me personally,

00:31:20.220 this is the most meaningful

00:31:21.100 Labor Day of my life

00:31:22.100 as someone with four jobs.

00:31:23.280 And so...

00:31:24.280 It's true.

00:31:28.980 It's true.

00:31:33.060 But on the point of,

00:31:35.180 you made it very clear

00:31:36.220 from the outset,

00:31:37.380 even in foreign policy,

00:31:38.560 everything we did

00:31:39.240 has to be pro-American.

00:31:40.260 It has to make America stronger

00:31:41.620 or safer

00:31:42.200 or more prosperous.

00:31:43.840 And there's just a few things

00:31:45.100 I want to touch through

00:31:45.740 because it involves your team

00:31:46.800 under your leadership

00:31:47.560 making it happen.

00:31:48.220 The first is,

00:31:49.300 for the first time

00:31:50.020 in the modern era,

00:31:50.740 we are truly on offense

00:31:51.960 against organized cartels

00:31:53.920 that are pumping poison,

00:31:55.360 killer poison,

00:31:56.400 into our cities.

00:31:57.500 And that's a team effort.

00:31:58.860 It's Christie's team.

00:32:00.040 It's Pete's team.

00:32:01.280 It's Pam's team.

00:32:02.740 And obviously,

00:32:03.420 it's under your leadership.

00:32:04.660 And by the way,

00:32:05.060 we're getting incredible

00:32:05.880 economic,

00:32:06.740 international cooperation.

00:32:08.360 Countries just in the last week,

00:32:09.680 Ecuador, Paraguay,

00:32:11.100 Guyana, Trinidad,

00:32:12.500 today Argentina,

00:32:13.660 all joining us

00:32:14.980 are trying to be helpful

00:32:15.900 in advancing this.

00:32:16.880 And this just,

00:32:18.060 you know,

00:32:18.240 one thing is there.

00:32:18.880 We're going to stop drugs

00:32:19.580 from coming in

00:32:20.180 and we're having record seizures.

00:32:21.660 But another thing

00:32:22.340 is to build an international coalition

00:32:23.940 against the scourge

00:32:25.320 on the international stage.

00:32:27.600 The second is mass migration,

00:32:29.120 illegal mass migration,

00:32:30.640 which is dangerous for the country

00:32:31.940 but harmful for American workers.

00:32:33.880 What's happening on the border

00:32:34.880 is essential.

00:32:35.860 But it's not just

00:32:36.460 what's happening on the border.

00:32:37.560 And again,

00:32:38.160 Christie and her team

00:32:38.860 have been essential in this.

00:32:40.060 We have countries

00:32:40.720 all over the world

00:32:41.380 that are actually helping us,

00:32:42.600 whether it's through

00:32:43.100 safe third country agreements,

00:32:44.740 whether through it's

00:32:45.440 stopping the migration flow

00:32:46.720 from coming here

00:32:47.380 in the first place.

00:32:48.620 Incredible international cooperation.

00:32:50.900 You're not,

00:32:51.320 you've redefined our border.

00:32:53.000 It's no longer

00:32:53.400 just our physical border.

00:32:54.480 We are doing things

00:32:55.280 ahead of time

00:32:56.040 to prevent this from happening

00:32:57.460 and getting cooperations

00:32:58.840 from countries

00:32:59.360 that we've never seen before.

00:33:01.040 And last,

00:33:01.500 I would say,

00:33:01.960 and Steve touched upon this,

00:33:03.020 who by the way

00:33:03.480 is doing a phenomenal job.

00:33:05.060 Steve is both

00:33:05.720 a great negotiator

00:33:06.720 and he's also a nice guy,

00:33:07.860 which are two tough things

00:33:09.140 to pull off together.

00:33:10.500 But it's incredible.

00:33:11.980 But we both work

00:33:12.720 for the peacemaker in chief.

00:33:14.500 Think about it,

00:33:15.200 how fortunate we are

00:33:16.400 as Americans

00:33:16.920 to have a president

00:33:17.660 who's made peace a priority.

00:33:19.440 And just since the last time

00:33:20.460 we've met,

00:33:21.120 there was a war going on

00:33:22.160 in Cambodia and Thailand,

00:33:23.580 between Cambodia and Thailand.

00:33:24.780 The president just picks up

00:33:25.700 the phone

00:33:25.960 and tells him to stop fighting.

00:33:27.380 And within 72 hours,

00:33:28.680 the fighting had stopped.

00:33:30.400 You know,

00:33:30.760 there's no other leader

00:33:31.500 in the world

00:33:31.840 that could have done it.

00:33:32.560 And the fact

00:33:32.960 that you were willing

00:33:33.480 to spend time to do that

00:33:34.660 and to make it happen

00:33:35.980 is, of course, essential.

00:33:37.040 And then the war

00:33:37.500 that didn't happen

00:33:38.180 because of Azerbaijan 0.99

00:33:39.160 and Armenia coming here

00:33:40.840 to sign that peace deal,

00:33:42.440 which is historic

00:33:43.100 in so many countries.

00:33:44.080 You know how many countries

00:33:44.640 said it's never going to happen.

00:33:45.920 It is impossible.

00:33:47.160 And it occurred,

00:33:47.820 Mr. President,

00:33:48.400 because of your leadership.

00:33:49.920 And then on a point

00:33:50.720 of personal privilege,

00:33:51.560 I wasn't even going to raise it.

00:33:52.580 I haven't even talked

00:33:53.100 to you about this.

00:33:53.680 It's a little controversial,

00:33:54.800 but I think I need to bring it up

00:33:55.940 at this time of year.

00:33:57.700 This thing about people

00:33:58.740 getting married on Saturdays

00:34:00.000 during college football season

00:34:01.160 is a scourge,

00:34:02.400 Mr. President.

00:34:02.940 It's divided families.

00:34:04.060 I don't know if we can have

00:34:05.780 an executive order on this.

00:34:07.220 It's insane.

00:34:08.080 But it's really difficult.

00:34:09.300 There's, you know,

00:34:09.660 seven other months of the year

00:34:10.840 that people can get married,

00:34:11.900 so I just wanted to say that.

00:34:13.620 It's very, very difficult.

00:34:15.780 Thank you.

00:34:16.340 Thank you.

00:34:17.540 Fantastic.

00:34:18.240 Thank you very much.

00:34:20.420 Doug, please.

00:34:22.020 Well, Mr. President,

00:34:23.300 you've heard from around the table

00:34:24.920 how people are grateful

00:34:26.380 to have an opportunity

00:34:27.060 to be part of this team,

00:34:28.200 have an opportunity to work for you

00:34:29.240 and have an opportunity

00:34:29.940 to serve the American people.

00:34:31.840 And I would say

00:34:32.740 as we head into this Labor Day

00:34:33.940 the thing that really differentiates

00:34:35.420 you and your leadership

00:34:36.480 and everybody around this table

00:34:38.520 is one word,

00:34:39.300 and that's respect.

00:34:40.400 Because this is a group of people

00:34:41.920 that respect our farmers and ranchers.

00:34:44.380 We respect the people

00:34:45.280 that are in law enforcement.

00:34:47.000 That's a huge change.

00:34:48.500 Respecting the people

00:34:49.260 that are in uniform,

00:34:50.180 respecting our veterans,

00:34:51.860 respecting our shrimp fishermen.

00:34:54.600 I mean, whoever it is

00:34:55.380 in this country,

00:34:56.260 people that are building our roads.

00:34:58.420 This whole group embodies

00:35:00.440 that sense of respect.

00:35:02.160 And when we start with that,

00:35:03.300 we come up with policies

00:35:06.280 that help those people.

00:35:07.840 And what have you done?

00:35:08.640 You've led an opportunity

00:35:09.560 for us to have the lower taxes,

00:35:12.700 way lower deregulation,

00:35:14.800 record amounts of investment

00:35:16.380 that's coming into this country.

00:35:17.620 We're going to be seeing

00:35:18.220 lower interest rates.

00:35:19.180 All of those things coming together

00:35:20.740 is a gift to the working people.

00:35:23.400 The policies are lifting everybody up.

00:35:25.580 There's 140 million Americans

00:35:27.620 that get up and go every day

00:35:29.320 and drive to work.

00:35:30.720 They commute.

00:35:31.900 And one of the most obscene things

00:35:34.220 of the prior administration

00:35:35.140 was their energy policies

00:35:36.660 was creating a hidden tax

00:35:38.080 on those people.

00:35:39.140 The poorer you were,

00:35:40.160 usually the further you had to drive

00:35:41.720 because you couldn't afford

00:35:42.540 the housing

00:35:43.080 if you were working at a hotel,

00:35:44.820 if you were working

00:35:45.320 in a service industry.

00:35:46.580 We were taxing them.

00:35:47.700 A hidden tax on them

00:35:48.660 was the high cost of energy.

00:35:50.580 You were perhaps one of the only leaders

00:35:52.460 in the world

00:35:52.940 that understood the connection

00:35:54.300 between peace abroad

00:35:56.500 and prosperity at home

00:35:57.880 was directly connected

00:35:59.380 to energy policy.

00:36:00.860 You came in and said,

00:36:01.900 we're going to sell energy

00:36:02.720 to our friends and allies.

00:36:04.080 We're going to bring prosperity

00:36:05.600 at home through policies here

00:36:07.080 by having lower energy prices.

00:36:08.800 And we're going to stop funding

00:36:10.140 wars abroad with energy policies

00:36:11.940 that helped our adversaries

00:36:13.080 and hurt us.

00:36:13.860 You said,

00:36:14.320 we're going to sell energy

00:36:15.140 to our friends and allies.

00:36:16.260 And with the work that Jameson

00:36:18.020 and Howard and Scott

00:36:19.240 and everyone has done

00:36:20.100 on these trade deals,

00:36:20.780 we're going to have an opportunity

00:36:21.740 to have a renaissance

00:36:22.760 in American energy,

00:36:24.260 selling energy to the world,

00:36:25.520 which is going to help

00:36:26.160 bring peace abroad.

00:36:28.080 But the real key thing

00:36:29.120 in closing,

00:36:30.600 I want to say is two things.

00:36:33.380 One has to do

00:36:34.120 with the U.S. Park Police.

00:36:35.340 That's the group here

00:36:36.080 in Washington, D.C.

00:36:37.480 They're the oldest uniform

00:36:38.800 law enforcement group

00:36:41.780 in the nation.

00:36:42.840 You coming out

00:36:43.660 and visiting with them

00:36:44.660 in person

00:36:45.380 before they went out

00:36:46.440 on the surge.

00:36:47.780 Not only are carjackings down,

00:36:50.320 muggings down,

00:36:51.720 homicides down, 0.98

00:36:52.880 everything down,

00:36:53.620 morale is through the roof.

00:36:55.000 Just like Pete saw,

00:36:56.680 we've got record people

00:36:58.260 signing up to want

00:36:59.100 to be part of our military.

00:37:00.280 You have breathed life

00:37:01.380 back into the profession

00:37:02.600 of law enforcement.

00:37:03.660 Your respect for law enforcement

00:37:05.420 is so incredible.

00:37:07.120 It's making a difference.

00:37:08.440 And then us giving them

00:37:09.420 the tools.

00:37:10.640 On a lighter note

00:37:11.380 for everybody here,

00:37:12.160 one of the rules

00:37:12.700 that under President Trump

00:37:13.620 we were able to change

00:37:14.340 for the U.S. Park Police

00:37:15.400 was they could do a pursuit.

00:37:17.520 I was shocked to find out

00:37:18.560 when we were talking

00:37:19.060 to them,

00:37:19.280 like,

00:37:19.400 oh,

00:37:19.600 you pull somebody over

00:37:20.420 and they just drive away

00:37:21.200 and you can't pursue them?

00:37:22.180 And they said,

00:37:23.220 no,

00:37:23.400 we can't.

00:37:24.360 They said,

00:37:24.760 we got that rule changed

00:37:26.260 in 24 hours

00:37:27.220 because of President Trump's

00:37:28.380 leadership.

00:37:29.500 The next night

00:37:30.280 they had so much fun.

00:37:31.480 They pulled people over

00:37:32.320 and they started to take off.

00:37:33.880 They chased them.

00:37:34.760 They stopped them.

00:37:35.620 And then the bad guys,

00:37:36.980 some of these were in cars

00:37:38.060 that had stolen plates.

00:37:39.760 So they take the plate off.

00:37:41.600 They steal them off

00:37:42.220 somebody else's car.

00:37:43.120 They know the plate

00:37:43.760 doesn't match.

00:37:44.340 They know they're doing

00:37:44.820 this thing.

00:37:45.580 The bad guys in the car said,

00:37:47.500 you're not supposed

00:37:48.360 to chase us.

00:37:50.280 Like,

00:37:50.680 you're breaking the rules.

00:37:51.500 The bad guys are telling us

00:37:52.360 to bring them no,

00:37:52.860 but we're back in action.

00:37:54.340 So it's like,

00:37:55.240 and so the morale is high.

00:37:57.360 They all wanted to say

00:37:58.180 thank you to you.

00:37:59.580 Yesterday,

00:38:00.120 you announced increasing

00:38:01.100 the number of U.S.

00:38:02.580 park police

00:38:03.140 that we're going to hire.

00:38:03.860 This is the group

00:38:04.380 that protects

00:38:04.960 not only our sacred monuments

00:38:07.440 of democracy here,

00:38:08.500 but also the Statue of Liberty

00:38:09.700 and the Golden Gate.

00:38:10.640 This is a great group,

00:38:12.080 but on behalf

00:38:12.760 of all law enforcement,

00:38:13.760 we say thank you.

00:38:15.320 And as Chris Wright

00:38:17.540 was talking about electricity,

00:38:18.880 I want to close with that.

00:38:20.280 We've solved amazing things

00:38:21.660 in seven months,

00:38:22.360 but the big challenge

00:38:23.160 we have against the remaining

00:38:24.500 is, I mean,

00:38:25.740 solving Iran's nuclear thing,

00:38:28.600 that was an existential threat.

00:38:30.020 China beating us 0.93

00:38:31.000 in the AI arms race,

00:38:32.220 that's an existential threat.

00:38:33.440 We finally have a president

00:38:34.760 who talks about it.

00:38:35.800 You talked about it

00:38:36.460 in your opening remarks.

00:38:37.680 You've signed executive orders.

00:38:39.020 You understand that

00:38:39.940 essentially we used to say

00:38:42.000 hundreds of years ago,

00:38:43.140 people started saying

00:38:43.940 that knowledge is power,

00:38:46.200 but now for the first time

00:38:47.460 in history,

00:38:48.000 we can take electricity

00:38:49.400 and we can convert it

00:38:51.040 into intelligence,

00:38:52.040 so it's flipped.

00:38:53.240 It's no longer

00:38:53.940 knowledge is power.

00:38:55.300 Power is also knowledge.

00:38:57.240 And while we're ahead

00:38:57.980 in the technology,

00:38:59.000 we're way behind China

00:39:00.340 on the amount of electricity

00:39:01.840 they're bringing online

00:39:02.820 and your strong position

00:39:04.380 to support affordable,

00:39:05.680 reliable energy

00:39:06.840 using our nation's resources

00:39:08.740 including those

00:39:09.560 across the Department of Interior,

00:39:11.380 bringing back coal mining,

00:39:12.680 bringing back mining,

00:39:14.080 bringing back timber.

00:39:15.700 All the industries

00:39:16.360 that have been killed

00:39:17.160 in this country

00:39:17.740 are coming back to life

00:39:18.800 because of you.

00:39:19.840 And with your leadership,

00:39:20.940 we have a chance

00:39:21.760 to not only win

00:39:22.640 the AI arms race,

00:39:23.940 but actually dominate it

00:39:25.080 the way we're dominating

00:39:25.980 in other things.

00:39:26.740 So thank you, Mr. President.

00:39:27.520 Thank you very much.

00:39:28.340 And we're leading that race

00:39:29.380 right now by a lot.

00:39:31.500 And we're going to keep

00:39:32.480 the electricity coming.

00:39:34.060 You know, in China,

00:39:34.620 they do it very quickly.

00:39:36.400 They have one person

00:39:37.520 that says do it

00:39:38.500 and that's it.

00:39:39.800 But essentially,

00:39:41.280 we have one person

00:39:42.100 that says do it.

00:39:43.800 And we've given that order

00:39:45.700 and the job they've done

00:39:46.940 has been amazing.

00:39:47.800 And I want to thank again,

00:39:48.800 Lee, what you're doing

00:39:49.520 in that regard

00:39:50.520 is so important.

00:39:51.900 And the rapidity,

00:39:53.580 just as fast as them

00:39:54.680 because it's a question

00:39:55.860 of a week versus a day.

00:39:59.220 And that's not going

00:39:59.760 to make a difference.

00:40:00.580 But you've done fantastically.

00:40:02.260 And Doug and Chris,

00:40:04.000 amazing job.

00:40:05.780 So we've done this

00:40:06.900 for a little while now.

00:40:08.500 I don't think you've ever

00:40:09.660 seen anything like it.

00:40:11.560 And, you know,

00:40:13.160 I think Sean was right.

00:40:14.540 These guys that are

00:40:15.280 holding these up,

00:40:16.060 if you ever try holding

00:40:17.040 your hand out for two hours,

00:40:19.540 that's a long time.

00:40:20.520 These are pretty strong characters.

00:40:21.900 You've been doing that

00:40:22.460 a long time, I guess.

00:40:23.500 Congratulations.

00:40:24.580 Are you getting tired?

00:40:25.980 Are you getting tired?

00:40:27.540 I'm looking at these guys.

00:40:28.780 They look like

00:40:30.340 they have no problem.

00:40:31.360 It's amazing, actually.

00:40:32.760 I think they would have

00:40:33.960 beaten you guys

00:40:34.560 in the test.

00:40:36.440 So I want to thank you.

00:40:38.420 If you want,

00:40:39.380 you know,

00:40:39.920 it's been a long time.

00:40:41.520 If you want,

00:40:42.280 if you want,

00:40:44.400 we could go in

00:40:45.080 and we can call it a day.

00:40:46.500 No, we're not.

00:40:50.240 And feel free then

00:40:51.460 to ask some

00:40:52.580 of the questions here.

00:40:53.600 Look, I believe

00:40:54.360 in very open, you know,

00:40:55.920 we want to be open,

00:40:57.000 above board.

00:40:57.700 We want to be honest

00:40:59.380 with the media.

00:41:00.240 I wish the media

00:41:01.300 was totally honest with us,

00:41:02.800 but I think they're getting better

00:41:03.800 to be honest with you.

00:41:04.900 So we'll see.

00:41:05.780 But if you want to take

00:41:06.640 a few questions,

00:41:07.280 you're right.

00:41:08.160 On a serious note,

00:41:09.580 when it comes to

00:41:10.520 Fed Governor Lisa Cook,

00:41:12.020 her lawyer has said

00:41:13.040 that they're going to be

00:41:14.120 filing a lawsuit

00:41:14.940 challenging this legal action.

00:41:17.320 What is your response?

00:41:18.300 Are you prepared

00:41:18.760 for a legal fight?

00:41:19.660 And then a little bit more

00:41:20.400 of a happy question, sir.

00:41:21.700 Oh, she always had legal fights. 1.00

00:41:22.560 Look, I had a legal fight

00:41:23.580 that went on for years

00:41:24.540 with crooked people,

00:41:26.520 with very horrible people,

00:41:28.460 people that have been

00:41:29.320 found out now

00:41:30.160 between John Ratcliffe

00:41:31.440 and Tulsi and Pam.

00:41:33.960 And I mean,

00:41:34.640 the things that we found out,

00:41:36.080 of course,

00:41:36.880 it's a very, very sad

00:41:38.640 group of people.

00:41:39.700 But no,

00:41:40.380 she seems to have

00:41:42.340 had an infraction

00:41:43.160 and she can't have

00:41:44.060 an infraction,

00:41:44.840 especially that infraction

00:41:46.040 because she's in charge 0.99

00:41:47.480 of, if you think about it,

00:41:48.620 mortgages.

00:41:49.120 And we need people

00:41:50.420 that are 100% above board

00:41:52.280 and it doesn't seem

00:41:53.840 like she was.

00:41:54.480 Yeah, please.

00:41:54.740 Mr. President,

00:41:55.560 first, I would love

00:41:56.860 to ask you a serious question,

00:41:58.160 but I have to tell you

00:41:59.680 the biggest pop culture news

00:42:00.900 of the year broke

00:42:01.720 while we were

00:42:02.120 in this cabinet meeting.

00:42:03.640 Travis Kelsey

00:42:04.280 and Taylor Swift

00:42:05.060 are engaged

00:42:05.840 and the world wants

00:42:06.960 your reaction, sir.

00:42:08.160 Well, I wish him

00:42:09.040 a lot of love.

00:42:09.740 Oh, I love.

00:42:11.160 Thank you.

00:42:11.400 I think it's,

00:42:12.460 I think he's a great player.

00:42:15.320 I think he's a great guy.

00:42:16.680 And I think that she's

00:42:18.040 a terrific person.

00:42:19.120 So I wish them

00:42:19.720 a lot of love.

00:42:20.360 On a serious note,

00:42:21.260 Mr. President,

00:42:22.260 in May,

00:42:22.920 Secretary Rubio said

00:42:24.120 that they were aggressively

00:42:25.160 removing visas

00:42:26.720 of Chinese students.

00:42:28.280 Yesterday,

00:42:28.720 you said you wanted

00:42:29.580 to allow 600,000

00:42:31.880 Chinese students

00:42:32.600 to study in the United States.

00:42:34.260 Could you

00:42:34.700 and the Secretary

00:42:35.220 clarify what is

00:42:36.460 the policy

00:42:37.080 on Chinese students

00:42:38.300 in the United States?

00:42:39.660 Well, we think we're,

00:42:41.080 you know, look,

00:42:42.060 we're getting along

00:42:42.580 very well with China

00:42:43.600 and I'm getting along

00:42:45.540 very well with President Xi.

00:42:47.480 I think it's very insulting

00:42:48.600 to say your students

00:42:50.060 can't come here

00:42:50.840 because they'll go out

00:42:52.220 and they'll start

00:42:52.640 building schools

00:42:53.360 and they'll be able

00:42:54.620 to survive it.

00:42:56.060 But I like that

00:42:56.820 their students come here.

00:42:57.920 I like that other country

00:42:59.320 students come here.

00:43:00.880 And you know what would happen

00:43:01.840 if they didn't?

00:43:02.440 Our college system

00:43:03.320 would go to hell

00:43:04.480 very quickly. 0.99

00:43:05.360 You'd have,

00:43:06.260 and it wouldn't be

00:43:06.720 the top colleges.

00:43:07.840 It would be colleges

00:43:08.620 that struggle

00:43:10.480 on the bottom.

00:43:11.640 And you take out

00:43:13.060 300,000 or 600,000

00:43:15.160 students out of the system.

00:43:16.800 I like having,

00:43:18.480 and I told this

00:43:19.360 to President Xi,

00:43:20.540 that we're honored

00:43:21.240 to have their students here.

00:43:22.720 Now, with that,

00:43:23.580 we check and we're careful

00:43:24.680 and we see who's there

00:43:26.280 and Marco wants that.

00:43:27.580 We spoke.

00:43:28.020 We're in the same position.

00:43:29.880 But we have a tremendous

00:43:31.220 college system,

00:43:32.180 the best in the world.

00:43:33.060 Nobody even to us.

00:43:33.820 That's why China 1.00

00:43:34.400 sends them here.

00:43:35.420 And you can call it

00:43:36.640 an industry if you want.

00:43:38.320 But you're talking

00:43:39.580 about millions of people.

00:43:41.500 And I'm honored

00:43:42.720 to have the students

00:43:44.200 from China come here.

00:43:46.120 And they're,

00:43:47.340 we're just getting along

00:43:48.480 very well with China.

00:43:49.820 It's a different relationship

00:43:51.280 than we had for years

00:43:52.640 where they took

00:43:54.020 hundreds of billions of dollars, 0.99

00:43:56.020 just sucked it

00:43:56.720 right out of our country. 0.66

00:43:58.220 They respect us again.

00:43:59.920 I respect them.

00:44:01.260 The relationship

00:44:02.140 is very good.

00:44:03.000 I think it's important

00:44:03.740 that these are two very,

00:44:05.100 major powers,

00:44:06.600 nuclear powers at that,

00:44:07.900 but two very important powers.

00:44:10.460 You know,

00:44:10.640 when I get along with Putin,

00:44:11.920 when I get along

00:44:12.560 with President Xi,

00:44:13.800 when I get along

00:44:14.400 with these people,

00:44:15.080 that's a good thing,

00:44:15.980 not a bad thing.

00:44:17.260 We're tough

00:44:17.900 and we're smart

00:44:18.660 and we're strong.

00:44:19.560 We get along.

00:44:20.620 It's a lot better

00:44:21.280 than not getting along.

00:44:22.300 You had somebody

00:44:22.880 in here before.

00:44:23.620 The war should have 1.00

00:44:24.240 never started

00:44:24.840 with Ukraine and Russia.

00:44:27.100 It would have never started.

00:44:28.300 And Putin said that himself.

00:44:29.660 President Putin

00:44:30.380 said that himself.

00:44:31.960 So we want to see

00:44:33.880 college students come in

00:44:35.020 from countries.

00:44:36.060 There are some countries

00:44:37.000 that we can't necessarily say.

00:44:40.280 These are places

00:44:41.460 that have ideologies

00:44:43.180 that we can't live with.

00:44:44.520 So there are some areas,

00:44:46.740 some countries,

00:44:47.300 that we can't say that.

00:44:48.180 But we're honored

00:44:49.080 to have the students come here.

00:44:50.360 Please.

00:44:50.580 Yesterday, you said that

00:44:53.880 within two to three weeks

00:44:55.120 we'd have a conclusive,

00:44:56.840 a pretty good conclusive end

00:44:58.400 to the war in Gaza.

00:45:00.040 What did you mean by that?

00:45:01.740 And can you tell us?

00:45:02.400 On what?

00:45:03.240 In the war in Gaza.

00:45:04.500 Yeah, what about it?

00:45:05.400 You said in two to three weeks

00:45:06.720 we would have a conclusive end,

00:45:09.420 a pretty good conclusive.

00:45:10.460 There's no conclusive.

00:45:11.500 It's been going on

00:45:12.180 for a long time.

00:45:13.680 You're talking about,

00:45:14.640 I guess if you really

00:45:15.460 add it up, Steve,

00:45:16.400 you're talking about

00:45:17.040 thousands of years, okay?

00:45:19.140 It's been going on for,

00:45:20.220 there's nothing conclusive.

00:45:21.380 But hopefully we're going

00:45:22.160 to have things solved

00:45:23.560 very quickly

00:45:24.220 with regard to Gaza

00:45:25.920 and also with regard

00:45:27.060 to Ukraine and Russia.

00:45:28.360 Mr. President,

00:45:30.880 is this considering

00:45:31.780 for the replacement

00:45:33.280 to nominate for Lisa Cook

00:45:34.800 and what economic background

00:45:36.280 or history are you...

00:45:37.100 Well, we have some

00:45:37.680 very good people

00:45:38.360 for that position

00:45:39.760 and I think we have

00:45:41.100 some very good people.

00:45:42.100 We're down to,

00:45:43.300 I mean, I think

00:45:43.920 I maybe in my own mind

00:45:45.560 have somebody that I like,

00:45:47.780 but I deal with Scott

00:45:49.360 and I deal with Howard

00:45:50.540 and we're dealing

00:45:51.220 with a lot of people actually

00:45:52.380 that are going to be involved

00:45:53.380 in that decision ultimately.

00:45:54.660 It's a very important decision.

00:45:56.240 As we see,

00:45:57.220 I mean, I got a bad recommendation

00:45:58.820 when I went with Jerome Too Late.

00:46:02.200 You know, he's too late.

00:46:04.440 Nickname is Too Late.

00:46:06.800 Costing us a lot of money.

00:46:08.980 Hurting the housing.

00:46:10.020 I mean, our housing industry is good,

00:46:11.900 but it could be phenomenal.

00:46:13.260 Most of this country

00:46:14.900 in terms, economic terms,

00:46:16.500 has been phenomenal.

00:46:18.300 We've never seen anything like it.

00:46:19.840 Because of him

00:46:20.660 and his high interest rates,

00:46:22.960 the housing is less than it could be.

00:46:26.020 We're going to get that

00:46:26.860 straightened out very quickly.

00:46:28.020 He gets out very quickly.

00:46:29.220 Fortunately,

00:46:29.980 he's been the wrong guy.

00:46:31.680 Not a bad person,

00:46:32.840 I don't think,

00:46:33.460 but I do think

00:46:34.600 he has motives, by the way.

00:46:35.840 But I don't consider him.

00:46:37.320 I've dealt with worse.

00:46:39.100 But he hasn't done the job.

00:46:41.080 The recommendation

00:46:41.620 from a certain person

00:46:43.200 was not a great recommendation.

00:46:44.880 That person vouched for him.

00:46:46.740 But we're doing

00:46:47.700 a very careful study.

00:46:49.000 We'll see what happens.

00:46:49.820 Look, we just put

00:46:51.200 a very good man

00:46:53.040 in one position.

00:46:55.620 We might switch him

00:46:56.900 to the other.

00:46:58.820 It's a longer term

00:46:59.600 and pick somebody else.

00:47:01.080 But we're very happy

00:47:01.900 with the person

00:47:02.460 we have in there.

00:47:03.720 And we'll have a majority

00:47:05.200 very shortly.

00:47:06.000 So that'll be great.

00:47:06.860 Once we have a majority,

00:47:08.540 housing is going to swing

00:47:10.060 and it's going to be great.

00:47:12.080 People are paying

00:47:13.340 too high an interest rate.

00:47:14.520 That's the only problem

00:47:15.320 with housing.

00:47:16.420 We have to get the rates

00:47:17.600 down a little bit.

00:47:18.540 And when we do,

00:47:19.440 it's going to be

00:47:19.940 a tremendous difference.

00:47:21.140 The country is doing so well.

00:47:25.740 It sort of blows through

00:47:27.880 the fact that we have

00:47:28.740 a man who's too late

00:47:30.780 and not doing

00:47:31.560 a very good job.

00:47:32.360 Please, in blue.

00:47:32.900 Mr. President,

00:47:33.360 regarding crime in D.C.,

00:47:34.760 something that might help

00:47:35.740 especially ladies 0.99

00:47:36.660 is being able to carry.

00:47:37.840 I know you've talked

00:47:38.500 about reciprocal carry.

00:47:40.160 Would you like for that

00:47:40.920 to apply here

00:47:41.560 in Washington, D.C.?

00:47:42.360 When you say carry,

00:47:43.260 I assume you're talking

00:47:43.980 about carry what we're talking.

00:47:46.220 Concealed or, yeah.

00:47:47.300 In other words,

00:47:47.860 carry a gun.

00:47:48.920 Is that right?

00:47:49.680 Would you like to carry a gun?

00:47:50.860 I would like to, yes, sir.

00:47:52.300 You'd feel a hell of a lot better, right?

00:47:53.920 I absolutely would.

00:47:54.740 I agree with you 100%, okay?

00:47:56.640 Okay, great.

00:47:57.240 But I'll tell you,

00:47:58.340 within another couple of weeks,

00:48:02.080 it's hard to believe

00:48:02.780 what's been accomplished

00:48:03.620 in 12 days,

00:48:04.880 but within another couple of weeks,

00:48:06.360 you won't have to carry.

00:48:07.760 You're not going to have to carry.

00:48:09.000 You're going to be safe.

00:48:09.800 People are safe now.

00:48:12.580 The turn has gone fast.

00:48:14.960 I knew it was going to go fast,

00:48:16.100 but this turn has gone really fast.

00:48:18.440 And within a month or two,

00:48:19.980 this is going to be

00:48:20.520 one of the safest places

00:48:21.640 in the country.

00:48:22.360 I have no doubt about it.

00:48:24.040 And we'll do an extension.

00:48:26.800 We'll work with Congress,

00:48:28.100 or I could declare an emergency,

00:48:29.840 but I don't think

00:48:30.340 that's going to be necessary.

00:48:31.500 We'll work with Congress.

00:48:32.500 We're going to be working

00:48:33.300 with Congress.

00:48:33.940 I spoke with our great speaker,

00:48:37.540 and I will be speaking to John Thune,

00:48:40.000 and we're getting tremendous support

00:48:42.480 from Congress,

00:48:43.240 especially maybe here.

00:48:45.060 Everybody wants to see

00:48:46.200 our Capitol be great.

00:48:47.980 You could say be great again.

00:48:49.320 You know,

00:48:49.660 it's such a beautiful place,

00:48:51.940 but if you have crime,

00:48:53.580 nothing looks beautiful.

00:48:55.440 But you won't need

00:48:56.500 to carry a gun,

00:48:57.500 but if you do,

00:48:58.600 it's going to be your choice.

00:48:59.680 Well, I would like to know the option,

00:49:00.240 just in case.

00:49:00.760 Well, okay.

00:49:01.320 A lot of people feel that.

00:49:02.380 Also in other blue cities,

00:49:03.740 you've got Cameron Bass

00:49:04.560 in Los Angeles,

00:49:05.380 Brandon Johnson in Chicago.

00:49:07.780 It seems to be very popular here,

00:49:09.680 the fact that people can walk around,

00:49:11.460 go to restaurants, shop,

00:49:12.820 and not have to worry

00:49:13.480 about their safety.

00:49:14.380 If blue city mayors

00:49:15.880 oppose those efforts

00:49:17.000 in their cities,

00:49:18.180 do you anticipate

00:49:18.880 that Democrat voters

00:49:19.820 are going to take it out on them?

00:49:21.300 I think so.

00:49:22.160 I think that crime

00:49:23.040 is going to be a big thing.

00:49:24.800 And we are the party,

00:49:26.340 the Republicans are the party

00:49:27.540 that wants to stop crime.

00:49:30.100 We're against crime.

00:49:31.620 The Democrats like crime.

00:49:33.740 I don't know why.

00:49:35.600 I mean,

00:49:36.320 we talk about common sense.

00:49:37.860 I think I got elected

00:49:38.720 on talking about common sense,

00:49:41.000 the border.

00:49:41.520 We have to have a wall. 0.97

00:49:42.520 We don't want transgender 1.00

00:49:44.140 for everybody.

00:49:45.340 We don't, as I said before,

00:49:46.780 we don't want to have men 0.99

00:49:48.500 playing in women's sports.

00:49:50.260 I mean, you see the difference,

00:49:51.340 weightlifting.

00:49:52.040 Take a look at weightlifting.

00:49:53.080 Take a look at long-distance running

00:49:55.400 where a runner came in

00:49:57.080 five hours and 14 minutes

00:49:58.980 ahead of another runner,

00:50:00.240 both champions.

00:50:01.620 One male, one female.

00:50:02.440 It's not fair.

00:50:03.840 It's demeaning to women. 1.00

00:50:05.340 It's so bad.

00:50:06.320 But they have another one,

00:50:07.460 and I think this is

00:50:08.240 the beauty of them all,

00:50:09.480 crime.

00:50:11.180 They're against crime prevention.

00:50:12.860 You can't do that.

00:50:15.660 You can't do that.

00:50:17.220 And I think to myself,

00:50:21.040 I say,

00:50:21.640 is there some game?

00:50:23.400 You know,

00:50:23.640 there's smart people.

00:50:25.480 Anybody that can cheat like that

00:50:27.100 in elections is smart, okay?

00:50:29.000 And there's never been in history

00:50:30.420 anybody that could cheat like that.

00:50:32.020 They're smart.

00:50:32.920 They're brilliant in many ways.

00:50:34.200 I say,

00:50:35.720 is there some trick to this?

00:50:37.680 When they say,

00:50:38.660 Trump is in Washington, D.C.,

00:50:41.780 stopping crime.

00:50:43.200 He's a dictator.

00:50:44.440 And people are being mugged

00:50:46.040 like your brilliant associate here.

00:50:49.420 I don't know how you're alive.

00:50:50.740 I mean,

00:50:51.000 based on that story,

00:50:51.880 you got very lucky.

00:50:52.840 He didn't just go,

00:50:53.520 all he had to do is this, right?

00:50:54.860 And, you know,

00:50:56.500 it's pretty amazing.

00:50:57.560 So,

00:50:58.460 we have something.

00:51:01.940 I think we have two things.

00:51:03.060 I think what

00:51:03.640 Bobby was talking about

00:51:05.320 with respect to

00:51:06.280 drug prices

00:51:07.700 is

00:51:08.840 unbeatable.

00:51:10.780 Nobody else could have done it but us.

00:51:12.780 And I think that crime.

00:51:14.500 I think crime will be

00:51:15.440 the big subject of the

00:51:16.760 midterms

00:51:17.600 and will be the big subject

00:51:19.260 of the next election.

00:51:22.080 Think of it.

00:51:23.440 They are,

00:51:23.980 instead of saying

00:51:25.300 Trump's right about crime,

00:51:27.540 it's really bad in Chicago.

00:51:29.260 You have a guy in Illinois,

00:51:31.060 the governor of Illinois,

00:51:33.260 saying that crime

00:51:34.140 has been much better

00:51:35.140 in Chicago recently 0.97

00:51:36.380 and Trump is a dictator. 0.72

00:51:38.760 And most people say

00:51:41.060 if you call him a dictator,

00:51:42.880 if he stops crime,

00:51:44.040 he can be whatever he wants.

00:51:45.920 I'm not a dictator,

00:51:46.880 by the way,

00:51:47.420 but he can be whatever he wants.

00:51:49.360 I think it's going to be

00:51:50.240 a big check for the midterms

00:51:52.680 and I think the Republicans

00:51:53.840 are going to do really well.

00:51:55.780 They are,

00:51:56.900 they called it a trap.

00:51:58.220 This Democrat consultant,

00:52:00.400 they said,

00:52:00.920 he's put him in a trap again

00:52:02.720 because these are all traps.

00:52:04.120 You know, 80-20,

00:52:05.060 but they're not 80-20.

00:52:06.220 They're almost 100 to nothing,

00:52:08.520 all these issues.

00:52:09.360 But I would say that crime

00:52:10.760 is stronger than men 0.71

00:52:11.960 playing in women's sports.

00:52:13.340 I think it's stronger

00:52:14.800 than transgender for everybody.

00:52:17.400 You know,

00:52:17.620 it's transgender for everybody

00:52:18.900 according to them.

00:52:20.220 It's stronger,

00:52:21.400 of course,

00:52:21.840 this is the cause of it,

00:52:23.180 open borders.

00:52:24.320 Open borders gave us 0.99

00:52:25.400 a lot of this crime.

00:52:26.460 So, you know,

00:52:26.960 so they're sort of

00:52:27.980 on an equal footing,

00:52:28.900 I guess.

00:52:29.900 But crime is going to be

00:52:31.120 a very big subject.

00:52:32.500 And you know what he should do

00:52:33.520 if he was smart?

00:52:34.580 Illinois or New York,

00:52:37.060 if they want,

00:52:38.160 or Gavin Newsom,

00:52:40.740 they should call me

00:52:41.740 and they should say,

00:52:42.460 you know,

00:52:43.420 we've got a problem.

00:52:45.680 You know,

00:52:46.180 we could solve with this team

00:52:47.760 different players

00:52:49.020 but work the same way

00:52:50.500 because you'd leave them here.

00:52:52.280 You don't want to take them out

00:52:53.260 and let it go to hell. 0.99

00:52:55.940 Everybody's so happy. 0.99

00:52:57.440 I bet you walked over here today

00:52:58.860 and you had no fear.

00:53:00.000 Nobody has any fear anymore

00:53:01.120 for the last 12 days.

00:53:02.520 But what,

00:53:03.520 if they,

00:53:04.700 it would be so smart.

00:53:07.020 Gavin Newsom,

00:53:07.680 called me up,

00:53:08.780 said,

00:53:08.960 you know what,

00:53:09.300 we have a big problem.

00:53:10.240 We have the Olympics coming up.

00:53:12.160 We want to do well.

00:53:13.540 We have tremendous problems

00:53:15.940 on crime and other things

00:53:17.680 and we'd love some help.

00:53:19.360 Chicago in particular

00:53:20.440 maybe right now.

00:53:21.500 I mean,

00:53:22.080 it's a disaster.

00:53:24.740 It's a disaster.

00:53:26.040 We could solve their problem

00:53:27.500 in,

00:53:28.260 it's bigger than this,

00:53:29.400 let's say two months.

00:53:30.560 Okay,

00:53:30.760 working with their police.

00:53:31.740 I know their police very well.

00:53:32.820 I have a big project in Chicago.

00:53:35.660 I built,

00:53:36.000 I was so proud of it.

00:53:37.020 It's the best site in Chicago.

00:53:38.900 I got it.

00:53:39.540 Nobody else got it.

00:53:40.560 I was happy as hell.

00:53:41.420 That was when I was a real estate guy

00:53:42.900 and I got it.

00:53:44.100 The Sun Time site,

00:53:45.100 they call it.

00:53:45.980 And I built a building.

00:53:46.980 It's a great building.

00:53:47.760 And I'm so embarrassed

00:53:49.800 when I see the kind of crime stats

00:53:52.000 coming out.

00:53:52.640 They're so,

00:53:53.220 so embarrassed.

00:53:55.020 And if I were a governor,

00:53:57.720 a Democrat governor,

00:53:58.920 or mayor,

00:54:00.540 or anybody having to do,

00:54:02.120 I'd call up President Trump.

00:54:04.100 I'd say,

00:54:04.640 President Trump,

00:54:05.420 we need your help.

00:54:06.480 We saw what you've done in D.C.

00:54:07.920 in a period of 12 days.

00:54:09.160 This is 12 days.

00:54:09.980 We haven't even started.

00:54:11.100 This is going to be so safe.

00:54:12.780 It's going to be the safest place

00:54:14.160 on Earth.

00:54:16.040 And we'll do the same thing

00:54:18.300 in Chicago.

00:54:19.480 But I'd like to be asked,

00:54:20.780 as opposed to just going in

00:54:21.960 and doing it,

00:54:22.540 because, you know,

00:54:22.940 when you go in and do it,

00:54:23.920 then they start screaming,

00:54:24.740 oh, he shouldn't be here.

00:54:25.660 We don't need him.

00:54:26.340 We're doing so well.

00:54:27.300 And then the better we do,

00:54:28.740 they take credit for it.

00:54:30.420 So it's really pretty unfair.

00:54:31.860 Yes, go ahead.

00:54:34.260 For a lot of victims,

00:54:35.360 like myself,

00:54:36.160 a big concern is

00:54:36.900 long-term sustainability.

00:54:38.840 Who shared with the American public

00:54:40.700 about your plan

00:54:41.460 and ensuring that D.C.

00:54:42.580 is saving a long-term?

00:54:43.720 Longer term, yeah.

00:54:44.640 Well, it's a great question.

00:54:47.680 Number one,

00:54:48.360 we want to stay there

00:54:49.160 for longer than 30 days.

00:54:50.500 As you know,

00:54:51.000 we have an absolute mandate,

00:54:52.480 and I can extend it,

00:54:53.860 but I'd rather not have to declare

00:54:55.200 a national emergency,

00:54:56.520 because by that time,

00:54:58.140 I mean, right now,

00:54:58.860 there's not an emergency.

00:54:59.660 We've done,

00:55:00.800 as you sort of said yourself,

00:55:02.120 it feels like a different world.

00:55:04.540 We've got under arrest

00:55:07.900 and prosecution,

00:55:09.560 and we've thrown out,

00:55:11.020 taken some,

00:55:11.880 and we're in the process

00:55:12.880 of taking hundreds

00:55:14.180 out of our country

00:55:15.020 that shouldn't be here,

00:55:15.900 and these are 0.79

00:55:16.360 hardcore professional criminals. 0.99

00:55:19.420 They were born to be criminals, 0.98

00:55:20.700 in my opinion, 0.99

00:55:21.460 but they're seriously bad people. 0.99

00:55:23.740 Murderers, drug dealers, 0.99

00:55:25.660 you know them all.

00:55:26.500 You see them all

00:55:27.100 as you walk beautifully to work,

00:55:28.840 and every once in a while,

00:55:29.720 somebody puts a gun to your head,

00:55:31.240 because that's what happened 0.98

00:55:32.100 in your case.

00:55:33.460 We're getting a lot of them

00:55:34.540 out of the country.

00:55:35.820 We're putting a lot of them

00:55:36.840 in prison,

00:55:37.300 because we're afraid

00:55:38.120 to bring them out of the country. 0.78

00:55:39.240 They could come back.

00:55:40.100 You know, as good as we're doing,

00:55:41.260 they could come back.

00:55:42.500 We don't want them back,

00:55:44.040 and that's going to solve

00:55:46.120 a lot of it.

00:55:47.160 We also think there should be

00:55:48.440 a presence here

00:55:49.100 for long enough.

00:55:50.380 We should also work

00:55:51.260 with our police department,

00:55:52.400 because you have

00:55:52.760 very good police here.

00:55:53.940 Very good.

00:55:54.600 We're working very well

00:55:55.500 with them, by the way,

00:55:56.240 and we have to work together

00:55:57.700 for a while.

00:55:58.620 We have some people

00:55:59.920 that are very tough

00:56:01.120 and very strong

00:56:01.960 working with the police.

00:56:03.380 They're going to be able

00:56:03.880 to handle it,

00:56:04.480 and you know what?

00:56:05.340 If it gets a little bit bad,

00:56:06.680 a little bit,

00:56:07.180 just a little bit,

00:56:07.900 I'll bring them back in,

00:56:09.040 and we'll straighten it out,

00:56:10.060 and we'll make it perfect.

00:56:11.140 You're going to be so safe

00:56:12.240 in this city,

00:56:12.760 and you're going to have

00:56:14.420 the city beautified.

00:56:15.540 We're going to be giving out.

00:56:17.020 We're working with Clark,

00:56:18.460 as you know,

00:56:18.980 Construction.

00:56:19.640 They're the biggest.

00:56:20.360 They're working with me also.

00:56:21.680 We're building a beautiful

00:56:22.420 ballroom for the White House.

00:56:24.160 They've been after it

00:56:24.860 for 150 years,

00:56:26.400 employs a lot of people.

00:56:27.940 It's going to be as beautiful

00:56:28.960 a ballroom

00:56:29.580 as has ever been built,

00:56:31.640 and Clark is the big builder

00:56:35.740 in this city.

00:56:37.460 They've done, I guess,

00:56:38.180 a majority of the good work,

00:56:39.580 the big work,

00:56:40.240 and we're working with them

00:56:42.120 on the beautification,

00:56:44.120 the fixing up the roads,

00:56:45.560 the fixing up of the medians,

00:56:47.960 you know, between the roads

00:56:49.960 so cars don't wrap into each other.

00:56:51.580 They wrap into...

00:56:52.520 I have one piece

00:56:53.760 sitting on the ground

00:56:54.680 for weeks.

00:56:56.760 This was a year ago,

00:56:57.820 and I had to come in,

00:56:58.720 unfortunately,

00:56:59.400 for fake court cases,

00:57:01.240 and I looked at the condition.

00:57:02.960 We have it fixed up

00:57:03.780 a lot right now.

00:57:04.720 You know,

00:57:04.980 the tents are removed,

00:57:06.260 and a lot of things

00:57:07.260 have taken place,

00:57:08.220 but I'd come into this city

00:57:09.920 and I'd say,

00:57:10.440 boy, does it look bad.

00:57:12.040 The filth on the roads,

00:57:14.460 the medians were broken 0.96

00:57:15.840 and always laying down,

00:57:17.680 and nobody would fix them,

00:57:19.000 and all of that.

00:57:20.420 Well, we're going to have

00:57:21.640 new medians.

00:57:22.280 We're going to have

00:57:22.580 a nice topping

00:57:23.240 put on the road.

00:57:23.940 We're not going to rip

00:57:24.440 the roads apart

00:57:25.160 and start a construction project

00:57:26.960 for two and a half years

00:57:28.680 as they rebuild the road,

00:57:29.840 which they don't have to do.

00:57:31.360 And we're going to have

00:57:32.200 this place so beautiful.

00:57:33.960 That's going to be a part of it.

00:57:35.240 Now, the biggest part is crime,

00:57:36.880 but it's also a part...

00:57:37.960 You know,

00:57:38.260 when you see a dirty city,

00:57:40.280 it's like I told...

00:57:41.040 I don't know.

00:57:41.620 It became the number one thing viral.

00:57:43.460 I said my father.

00:57:44.360 He's a smart guy.

00:57:45.080 He's a great guy.

00:57:45.780 He's a loving, wonderful father,

00:57:47.660 but he could be a little

00:57:48.380 on the tough side.

00:57:49.700 He told me that,

00:57:50.980 son, when you walk

00:57:52.620 into a restaurant, 0.52

00:57:53.460 you see a dirty, filthy door

00:57:55.300 going into the restaurant.

00:57:57.180 Don't go there

00:57:58.020 because the kitchen's dirty also.

00:58:00.180 When they see a dirty capital,

00:58:02.500 the rest of the world,

00:58:04.420 they lose a lot of respect

00:58:06.020 for our country.

00:58:06.860 This capital is going

00:58:07.780 to be so beautiful.

00:58:09.280 We're going to have new poles,

00:58:10.600 new lights, new fences.

00:58:11.820 Stuff that,

00:58:13.380 when you add it up,

00:58:14.060 it's money,

00:58:14.540 but it's peanuts

00:58:15.140 compared to what

00:58:15.840 we're talking about.

00:58:17.140 And we're also going

00:58:17.920 to have great safety.

00:58:19.660 I wanted to ask you

00:58:21.860 on crime

00:58:22.640 and also a question

00:58:23.480 on foreign policy

00:58:24.400 that maybe other officials

00:58:25.820 can weigh it into.

00:58:27.360 And on crime,

00:58:28.600 Iris shared her story

00:58:29.920 and you mentioned,

00:58:31.680 you know,

00:58:32.400 people going through...

00:58:33.340 Those are a terrible story.

00:58:35.040 I'm just amazed she's here.

00:58:36.660 When the gun is Pam,

00:58:38.060 when the gun is put to the head,

00:58:39.660 did they ever capture

00:58:40.560 these people, by the way?

00:58:41.820 I kept calling,

00:58:42.960 but I didn't hear back

00:58:43.800 about this guy's...

00:58:44.440 It'd be really great

00:58:45.740 if you could maybe

00:58:46.440 give the information.

00:58:47.920 She's very good

00:58:48.700 at capturing people.

00:58:50.780 She's very good.

00:58:51.920 If you could give

00:58:52.600 that information to Pam,

00:58:55.000 it would be great.

00:58:55.760 Would you do that?

00:58:56.560 Yes, we'll do.

00:58:57.660 You'd love to see them.

00:58:58.740 I would assume you'd like

00:58:59.600 to see them captured.

00:59:00.500 For sure.

00:59:00.920 You can't...

00:59:01.540 You just can't...

00:59:02.040 They'll wait for years.

00:59:03.040 Yeah.

00:59:03.420 Take a good look at that.

00:59:04.760 Go ahead.

00:59:05.380 So go ahead.

00:59:05.820 Just a few weeks ago,

00:59:07.100 I was out to dinner

00:59:07.860 with my husband

00:59:08.580 and we're taking the Metro back

00:59:10.540 and then we get attacked

00:59:11.500 in the Metro.

00:59:12.520 They're throwing things.

00:59:13.720 Some teenagers,

00:59:14.560 you know,

00:59:14.820 they're throwing liquid at us.

00:59:16.260 Oh, they're throwing things.

00:59:17.280 They throw...

00:59:18.000 How about where they

00:59:18.780 chop down the granite curbs

00:59:20.800 and the concrete curbs,

00:59:22.160 but the granite curbs

00:59:23.100 are so expensive.

00:59:24.200 You know,

00:59:24.440 those granite curbs,

00:59:25.500 nobody uses them

00:59:26.280 because they're so expensive.

00:59:27.140 And you see a guy chopping them

00:59:29.660 and handing out big chunks of them

00:59:31.980 like a brick

00:59:32.680 because they couldn't get in

00:59:34.740 because people were stopping them

00:59:36.180 from walking out.

00:59:36.900 A little bit unusual

00:59:37.620 when you walk out

00:59:38.220 with a bag of bricks.

00:59:39.540 Generally speaking,

00:59:40.440 Sean,

00:59:40.660 that's not a good sign.

00:59:42.360 It's not a good sign.

00:59:43.540 But they now come in with hammers.

00:59:45.380 They can disguise a hammer

00:59:46.540 and they start pounding

00:59:47.400 the concrete and the granite

00:59:48.740 and they hand out chunks

00:59:50.240 and those people

00:59:51.500 take those chunks

00:59:52.540 and start throwing them at the cops

00:59:53.580 or they stand on the top of bridges

00:59:55.800 and they drop them down

00:59:56.940 into the windshield of your car 0.92

00:59:58.480 and you get killed 0.84

00:59:59.940 running into a light pole.

01:00:02.400 It's it's those days are over.

01:00:05.120 I wanted to ask you,

01:00:06.560 Governor Hochul,

01:00:08.320 Kathy Hochul said

01:00:09.160 that she spoke to you on the phone

01:00:10.560 and you said you might send

01:00:12.060 National Guard troops to New York.

01:00:13.680 You mentioned that.

01:00:14.980 So will you?

01:00:15.460 I'd love to do it.

01:00:16.440 If she'd like,

01:00:17.240 I get along with Kathy.

01:00:18.800 If she'd like to do that,

01:00:20.280 I would do it.

01:00:21.420 You see,

01:00:22.400 look,

01:00:22.620 New York has difficulty like

01:00:24.060 and I don't want

01:00:25.740 to make this by

01:00:26.640 I want to make this

01:00:27.520 like friendly,

01:00:28.340 but the places

01:00:30.660 we're talking about

01:00:31.520 happen to be

01:00:32.480 virtually all Democrat run.
