Transcript

00:00Mr. President, what conversations have you had with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about what is going on in Gaza?

00:06There was a U.N.-backed report that said there was a famine in Gaza.

00:09Based on what you know and what you've been briefed on, do you agree with that?

00:13So, I mean, I deal with Bibi Netanyahu quite a bit.

00:18And we had great success, obviously, in Iran.

00:21We knocked out their nuclear threat.

00:22That would have been a horror show, having them have a nuclear weapon.

00:25They would have used it, too.

00:26We did very well there.

00:27Right now, they're talking about Gaza City.

00:31There's always talking about something.

00:32At some point, it's going to get settled.

00:34And I'm saying you better get it settled soon.

00:36You have to get it settled soon.

00:38And that means, you know, nobody can forget October 7th.

00:41People forget October 7th.

00:43That was one of the most brutal.

00:44I've seen some terrible things, some brutal things.

00:46That was about as bad as it gets.

00:49And nobody can forget that.

00:50With that being said, it's got to get over with.

00:52It's got to get over with because between the hunger and all of the other problems,

00:57worse than hunger, death, pure death, people being killed.

01:01And, you know, I'm the one that brought back the hostages.

01:04And I did it with that gentleman right there, Steve Witkoff, and with Marco.

01:08All of us, the whole team, we worked together.

01:10Even the trade people worked on it with us.

01:12And we brought back a lot of the hostages.

01:14Now we're left with, would you say 20, Steve, or would you say it's less than 20?

01:18I hope it's 20.

01:20He hopes it's 20 because some could be dead.

01:23That's what he means, I assume.

01:25So we have 20, but there's rumors that some could be dead.

01:28It's a terrible situation over there.

01:31Terrible, terrible situation.

01:33But it's coming to a head.

01:35It's coming to an end.

01:36We are sending, you know, we sent $60 million of food over there just recently.

01:43And I don't even know if people know it.

01:46We distributed ourselves.

01:48We're giving a lot of food, spending a lot of money on food, getting it over there.

01:52We have a lot of food.

01:53We have a lot of oil and we have a lot of, we have the greatest farmers in the world.

01:56So we have a lot of food.

01:57But we're sending a lot of it over to Gaza and we're feeding a lot of people.

02:03But with all of that being said, it's a lot of people to feed.

02:06And I think that we will have, I think within the next two to three weeks, you're going to have

02:10a pretty good conclusive, a conclusive ending.

02:16And it's a hard thing to say because they've been fighting for thousands of years, if you

02:20want to know.

02:21That's a, that's been a hotbed forever.

02:23But I think we're doing a very good job.

02:26But it does have to, it does have to end.

02:28But people can't forget October 7th even.
