00:07The President of Texas

00:08The President of Texas

00:09The President of Texas

00:10So we're going to Texas

00:11Some of you are coming with us

00:12OU

00:13And it's a horrible thing

00:15A horrible thing

00:16Nobody can even believe it

00:17Such a thing

00:18That much water that bad

00:20Without a dam break

00:21You'd think a dam would have to break to happen

00:23It's a terrible thing

00:24But we're going to be there with

00:25It's a terrible thing, but we're going to be there

00:29with some of the great families and others,

00:32the governor, everybody.

00:34The Press, were you glad to talk to the

00:38Virginia president about the terrorists?

00:40The President, maybe at some point I'll talk to them.

00:42Right now, I'm not.

00:43They're treating President Bolsonaro very unfairly.

00:46He's a good man.

00:47You know, I know him well.

00:48I negotiated with him.

00:51He was a very tough negotiator, and I can tell you

00:53he was a very honest man, and he loved the people of Brazil.

00:56He was a very tough guy to negotiate with.

00:58I shouldn't like him because he was very tough in negotiation,

01:03but he was also very honest.

01:05And I know the honest ones, and I know the crooked ones.

01:08The Press, what was the next segment in your new

01:12chariot with Canada?

01:13Any carve-out?

01:14The President, we're going to see.

01:16It was sent yesterday.

01:17They called.

01:19I think it was fairly well received.

01:20This is what we need.

01:23So, we'll see what happens.

01:24The Press, Russian drones hit a maternity hospital

01:29in Ukraine overnight.

01:31Your reaction to that, sir?

01:32The President, I know.

01:32You'll be seeing things happen.

01:34The Press, now that you will go to Texas,

01:38are you planning on delivering any type of help

01:40for undocumented families that lost everything,

01:42including your children?

01:44The President, I think we've done very well on immigration.

01:46We were given a very bad hand by Biden.

01:49We allowed 25 million people to come in totally unchecked,

01:52unvetted.

01:53We're getting the criminals out,

01:55and we're getting them out fast.

01:57The courts have ultimately done the right thing.

02:00Amazingly, they've really done the right thing,

02:04and they understand it's really the survival of our country.

02:06It's a very important thing.

02:08We can't have, like, 11,888 murderers.

02:12And, you know, something that you should have

02:15that you haven't reported.

02:17As you know, 300,000 children are missing, right?

02:23300,000 under Biden.

02:25We've already gotten back 10,000 of those children,

02:29and we have a lot more planned to come back.

02:31We're getting them back by the thousands.

02:33The 300,000, and as of this morning,

02:37over 10,000 we've gotten back.

02:40What is your advice to countries worldwide

02:48ahead of the upcoming tariff deadline?

02:52Well, I think just keep working hard.

02:54You know, we've been taken advantage of

02:55for many, many years by countries,

02:57both friend and foe.

03:00And, frankly, the friends have been worse

03:01than the foes in many cases.

03:03So I would say just keep working.

03:05It's all going to work out.

03:06I think he's doing a terrible job.

03:10I think we should be three points lower

03:13interest rate.

03:14It's costing our country a lot of money.

03:15We should be number one.

03:16And we're not.

03:17And that's because of Jerome Powell.

03:18In terms of interest, we are number one in the world.

03:20Look, I'll tell you a little simple language.

03:22One year ago, our country was the number one.

03:25And we're not, and that's because of Jerome Powell.

03:28In terms of interest, we are number one in the world.

03:30Look, I'll tell you in a little simple language.

03:33One year ago, our country was a dead country.

03:38We were going nowhere except down.

03:41We were the laughing stock all over the world.

03:44And now we're the hottest country anywhere in the world.

03:47We're number one everywhere, anywhere in the world.

03:50And that's all they're talking about is our country.

03:53One year ago, it was a dead country.

03:55Now it's the hottest country anywhere in the world.

03:57The Pressure of the American Family.

03:59The Pressure of the American Family.

04:01How is that, how is our country here?

04:04And
