00:00Now it's time for China to open up, and that's part of our deal.
00:03We'll see how that all works out, but we have the confines of a very, very strong deal with China.
00:09He's a great leader, and we were talking, and he said,
00:13if I can help you, let me do that.
00:15And they had a plane, not a new plane at all.
00:18We shouldn't be accepting gifts to the Defense Department,
00:21and I would say only a stupid person would say that.
00:24Why wouldn't we do that?
00:25I did a good job, Marco did a good job, and JD did a good job.
00:29We sort of, we're a team.
00:31I'm all for Iran.
00:32I want them to have a wonderful country.
00:36And one of the things I think that could be most exciting for us,
00:38and also for China, is that we're trying to open up China.
00:42Because, as you know, many years ago we opened up the USA.
00:45Now it's time for China to open up, and that's part of our deal.
00:49The relationship is very good.
00:50I've always had a good relationship with President Xi.
00:53It was interrupted because of COVID, obviously.
00:55But outside of that, I've always had a great relationship,
00:59a lot of respect for him.
01:01And we'll see how that all works out.
01:04But we have the confines of a very, very strong deal with China.
01:08They had a strong contract.
01:10I wrote the contract.
01:11It was a guaranteed price contract.
01:13And if I wanted to, I could, you know, hurt Boeing,
01:15and I don't want to hurt Boeing.
01:16But they were very late with the plane,
01:18and Qatar heard about it, and he's a great leader.
01:24And we were talking, and he said,
01:26if I can help you, let me do that.
01:28And they had a plane, not a new plane at all,
01:31but they had a plane.
01:33But I thought it was a beautiful gesture.
01:35Now there are those that say,
01:36we shouldn't be accepting gifts to the Defense Department.
01:39And I would say only a stupid person would say that.
01:42Why wouldn't we do that?
01:43And so it helps us out because we'll have a relatively new plane
01:46instead of having 40-year-old planes.
01:50These planes are...
01:51And I just thought it was something we could get involved in.
01:54And I did a good job.
01:56Marco did a good job.
01:57And JD did a good job.
01:59We sort of were a team.
02:01And we, I think, convinced him to let's have peace
02:04and let's go and make trade deals.
02:06If we can make trade deals,
02:07we like that much better than nuclear weapons.
02:10There won't be a nuclear battle.
02:11Let me just explain.
02:13I'm all for Iran.
02:15I want them to have a wonderful country
02:18and make a lot of money.
02:19They have great oil reserves.
