Transcript

00:00The President, we had a great time at the big soccer

00:04match today at the Meadowlands.

00:05It was phenomenal.

00:07It was a little bit of an upset, I guess they would

00:11say, but it was a great, great match.

00:13Very well played.

00:14Tremendous crowd.

00:16And that's sort of a pre-World Cup.

00:18We have World Cup coming.

00:19We have Olympics coming.

00:21And we have 250 years coming.

00:24That's going to be a big one.

00:25Maybe the biggest one of all.

00:27So that was great.

00:28We had some tremendous financial numbers released

00:33on Friday, as you probably heard, that our country made

00:37$25 billion last month.

00:39Twenty-five billion.

00:41It hasn't done that in a long time.

00:43And a lot of that's done because of good management at

00:47number one, and maybe even more importantly, the

00:50tariffs that are pouring in.

00:51We have tariffs pouring in at levels that we have never

00:54seen before, and they've only just started.

00:57That's really a small portion.

00:59That's mostly from cars and aluminum and steel.

01:03A little bit of lumber.

01:05But they'll really start in about another week.

01:10And then, in about a month, they'll come in at levels

01:12that are extremely strong.

01:15And our country is making a lot of money.

01:18A lot of money.

01:20We're dealing with other countries and certain

01:22countries that would rather have a deal than a

01:26regular tavern.

01:27We're willing, if they're willing to open up.

01:30These are countries that have been shut to us, but

01:33we've been open to them.

01:34In other words, they wouldn't let us do business there, but

01:37they would do business in our country.

01:38Not a fair deal.

01:40So, the European Union is talking to us.

01:42They want to open up their country.

01:45I would say Japan, to a much lesser extent, in terms

01:48of opening up their country.

01:50Japan, as you know, and we're very close to Japan, but

01:54they sell us millions and millions of cars a year.

01:57We sell them no cars because they won't accept our cars.

02:01And they won't accept much of our agriculture, either.

02:04So, but they're all changing their ways very, very rapidly.

02:09South Korea wants to make a deal other than tariffs.

02:12Right now, as you know, they're paying a substantial

02:15tariff, but they want to make a difference.

02:17So, some of these deals, maybe I'll change them and

02:19maybe I won't.

02:21But our country is making a lot of money.

02:25A lot of money for the first time in a long time, in

02:28decades.

02:29And that's the way it should be.

02:30We have a country that's, and I said it the other

02:33day to you people.

02:35We have a country that was dead.

02:37It was dead.

02:38It was a goner one year ago.

02:41And now we have the hottest country in the world.

02:43Okay, questions?

02:44The Press, you've already taken off about $40 billion

02:50that would go to illegal benefits.

02:52What does that mean to the bottom line that we're

02:54taking away a lot of the fraud and abuse due to illegal?

02:56The President Biden's getting rid of a lot of

02:58waste, fraud, and abuse.

03:00One of the reasons I think that you'll see the

03:03numbers start to be very good for the country.

03:05But I think more than anything else, we have

03:08tariffs coming in, in the will-be hundreds of

03:12billions of dollars.

03:13The Press, what's going on in Gaza, Mr. President?

03:16The President Biden's getting rid of Gaza, we are

03:17talking, and hopefully we're going to get that

03:19straightened out over the next week.

03:21Let's see what happens.

03:22The Press, what's going on in Gaza?

03:23You know, so you know he doesn't have a lot of

03:25drugs on the 속ways.

03:28You know that Gavin Newsom is fighting to keep men in

03:29women's sports and fighting with Bon

03:39McMahon.

03:40As a father, as a husband, does he hate women?

03:44understands it.

03:45Very few.

03:46I say it's a 3 percent issue.

03:47You know, they say it's 80-20.

03:50It's not 80-20.

03:50I think it's 97-3.

03:52The Press Press So, Rosie O'Donnell, she went on

03:56Chris Cuomo so recently.

03:57She blames you for the fact that she's overweight,

04:00depressed, in front.

04:01What do you say to that?

04:02Do you think CDS is going to ever be a

04:04gestant by diagnosis?

04:05The President I don't know about Rosie.

04:07I watch Rosie.

04:08Rosie is a mess.

04:10She's a mess.

04:11But she left our country, which is a good thing,

04:14not a bad thing.

04:16The Press Press So, on your NATO deal, can you talk

04:19to us about the details of the article?

04:21The President Well, I'm going to have a meeting

04:23with the Secretary General who's coming in tomorrow.

04:25But we basically are going to send them various pieces

04:30of very sophisticated military, and they're

04:32going to pay us 100 percent for them.

04:35And that's the way we want it.

04:37And we've been trying to get that again.

04:39I don't think Biden ever asked for it.

04:41We're in for about 350 billion.

04:44Europe is in for 100 billion.

04:46That's a lot of money, 100.

04:48But they should be in actually for more than us.

04:50So, as we send equipment, they're going to reimburse

04:52us for that equipment.

04:54Doesn't that sound good?

04:55The Press Press That's the way it should have

04:57been a long time ago.

04:58The Press Press I haven't agreed on the number yet,

05:04but they're going to have some because they do need

05:06protection, but the European Union is paying for it.

05:09We're not paying anything for it, but we will send it.

05:12It'll be business for us, and we will send them

05:14patriots, which they desperately need.

05:17Because Putin really surprised a lot of people.

05:21He talks nice, and then he bombs everybody in the evening.

05:24But there's a little bit of a problem there, and I don't like it.

05:27The Press Press Oh, I think so.

05:33I did.

05:33I spoke to him today.

05:35Dan Bongino, very good guy.

05:37I've known him a long time.

05:39I've done his show many, many times.

05:41And he sounded terrific, actually.

05:44No, I think he's in good shape.

05:46The Press Press I was going to ask you, on this one-year

05:48anniversary of Butler, what was going through your mind

05:50this morning, since the President actually woke up

05:53to start this new day?

05:56Will you repeat that question?

05:57The Press Press On this one-year anniversary of

06:00Butler, what was going through your mind this morning

06:02when you woke up?

06:03I know that you're praising God you're alive, but a lot

06:05of people want to know how you're taking this day on

06:07this one-year anniversary.

06:09The President God was protecting me.

06:11Maybe because God wanted to see our country do better

06:15or do really well, make America great again.

06:17But God was protecting me, Brian.

06:18I'll tell you, it's the more you think about it,

06:21the more you see it.

06:23But, no, I just, I don't like to think about it much.

06:28You know, I have a job to do, so I don't like to

06:29think about it much.

06:31It's a little bit of a dangerous profession,

06:33being President.

06:34But I really don't like to think about it too much.

06:36The Press Press Press I think you're better off

06:37not thinking about it.

06:39The Press Press And you were able to accomplish

06:4020 promises so far.

06:41The President God was doing it.

06:42The President God was doing it.

06:43The President God was doing it.

06:44The President God was doing it.

06:45You know, we made a lot of promises, and we've

06:48actually given a lot more promises than we even made.

06:51The President God was doing it.

06:52And you add on that a tremendous success with the

06:55strike that we had getting rid of nuclear weapons in Iran.

06:59That was a big, big strike.

07:01And, you know, when the pilots came to my office,

07:03they were there, as you know, with some of the

07:04other people having to do with that strike.

07:07And they said something very interesting.

07:09They said, you know, we've been practicing this for

07:1122 years, but no President had the guts to tell us to do it.

07:15But this has been on our minds for many, many years.

07:18And we did it.

07:20And I would say, from zero to 10, with 10 being the best,

07:24that attack was a 15.

07:27The President God was a 15.

07:27What do you think about this new bill that's going to

07:29basically eliminate no capital gains tax on home sales

07:34to be able to free up the money?

07:35People who've owned a house for a long time can't

07:37afford to pay the capital gains.

07:39The President God was looking at that, and it's

07:40going to be, it could be a very big positive.

07:43I don't think for you, because you make so much

07:45money.

07:46It doesn't matter.

07:47But I think, I think it's going to be a great, you

07:49know, a great incentive for a lot of people that, that

07:52really need money.

07:53The Press Press So between that and Jerome Powell

07:55stepping down, that could really boost home sales?

07:57The President Well, I think if Jerome Powell

07:59stepped down, it would be a great thing.

08:00I don't know that he's going to, but he should.

08:04Jerome Powell has been very bad for our country.

08:06We should have the lowest interest rate on Earth, and

08:09we don't.

08:11He just refuses to do it.

08:13And yet, he's spending two and a half billion dollars

08:16rebuilding the Fed, the Federal Reserve building.

08:19And I don't know what he knows about building, but

08:22you talk about cost overrun.

08:24So, he got this approved, and he started the work

08:27during the Biden administration.

08:30And he doesn't look like the kind of a guy, frankly,

08:32that wants to spend two and a half billion dollars.

08:34And it's very interesting because, out of 71

08:38economists, one person, me, and then one other

08:42person, I think from Wharton, got it right.

08:45And the others were all wrong in terms of the

08:47success of our country this quickly.

08:50We have no inflation.

08:51We have cash pouring in.

08:53It was me and somebody else.

08:56Then, I can tell you, I don't need 5,000 people

08:59working for me behind the scenes like Jerome Powell

09:02to tell him what he should say once a month.

09:05Because they got it wrong.

09:06The Fed got it wrong.

09:07I call him too late.

09:08He's always too late.

09:10Every point costs us $360 billion.

09:14Think of that.

09:15And we should be three points.

09:16That's almost a trillion dollars.

09:18Approximately a trillion dollars less we should be,

09:22just with the signing of a piece of paper.

09:24So, we'll see what happens.

09:26I mean, you're telling me he's going to quit.

09:28I hope he quits.

09:28I don't know that he's going to quit.

09:30But he should quit, because he's been very bad

09:32for the country.

09:32The Press on Russia.

09:33Are you going to be announcing sanctions

09:35on Russia tomorrow?

09:36The President Trump's going to see what we

09:37will see tomorrow, okay?

09:38We have the Secretary General, as you know,

09:41Europe has announced sanctions.

09:44But I am very disappointed with President Putin.

09:47You know, I thought he was somebody that meant

09:51what he said, and he'll talk so beautifully,

09:53and then he'll bomb people at night.

09:55We don't like that.

09:56Thank you, everybody.

09:57The Press on Russia, Mr. President.

09:59President Putin經omi John

10:05has joined a big bore.

10:06Thank you, Mr. President,

10:08though, honestly,

10:09we had just appeared to be next to Italy.

10:10Everything was something that has changed

10:12to turn that tab to theña President's ministry.

10:15If that happened,

10:15thank you, Mr. President Smith.

10:16All right.

10:17All right.

10:18fucking

10:20Everybody has gone on long

10:21last year,

10:23but I think things are very good,

10:24but our institution had nucleds

10:25and a lot of dólares

10:27won't live on день murder.
