00:00Thank you very much.
00:00I meant to go back and see you on the plane,
00:02but some things came up having to do with Hamas, et cetera.
00:07And we're working on a solution that maybe could be very good.
00:11Can you tell us about that?
00:12No, but you'll be hearing about it pretty soon.
00:15We're trying to get it ended, get the hostages back, get it ended.
00:18We got them all back, but 20.
00:21And as you know, we have 20 plus there are a lot of,
00:24unfortunately, dead bodies involved.
00:26And they want them back.
00:27The parents want them back.
00:28So we had some very good discussions.
00:32Good things could happen.
00:33Could you give us your reaction to South Korea's regrets
00:37or calling it regrettable,
00:38what happened with their workers at the Hyundai plant?
00:41Well, I'll speak to them.
00:43You know, look, it's a battery factory in that case, as I'm told.
00:48And, you know, when they're building batteries,
00:51if you don't have people in this country right now
00:54that know about batteries, maybe we should help them along
00:57and let some people come in and train our people to do,
01:01you know, complex things, whether it's battery manufacturing
01:04or computer manufacturing or building ships.
01:06So we're going to look at that whole situation.
01:09We have a lot of industries that we don't have anymore,
01:13and we're going to have to train people.
01:15And the way you train people is bring people in
01:17that know what they're doing and let them stay
01:19for a little while and help.
01:21So I'm going to look at that.
01:22This is a very interesting situation that took place in Georgia.
01:27And we heard about it yesterday.
01:30And the same thing at times ICE was doing right
01:33because they were here illegally.
01:35But we do have to work something out where we bring in experts
01:39so that our people can be trained
01:40so that they can do it themselves.
01:42Does that make sense?
01:43Right?
01:44Is it training the relationship with Korea at all?
01:46No, we have a great relationship with South Korea.
01:49It's a really good relationship.
01:51You know, we just made a great deal.
01:53But I'm going to look at it
01:55because I understand exactly what they're saying.
01:57Page Six crowns you the king of the U.S. Open.
02:02They put out all these old pictures through the years
02:05that you had the U.S. Open.
02:07What does it mean for you to go back after going
02:08for so many decades, growing up in Queens?
02:11Now you're going back as the president.
02:13Well, I loved it.
02:14First of all, the two players have unbelievable talent.
02:18It just seemed that they hit the ball harder
02:20than I've ever seen before.
02:21Incredible talent.
02:23And I enjoyed it.
02:25And I used to go all the time.
02:26But, you know, lately it's a little bit more difficult to go.
02:29I really enjoyed it. They were really nice.
02:32The fans were really nice.
02:33I didn't know what to expect.
02:36Usually you would say that would be a somewhat progressive
02:38as they say nowadays.
02:40Yeah, sometimes some people would call it liberal,
02:43but we'll use the word they like to use, progressive.
02:46But they were they were great.
02:48The fans were great.
02:50Just a question back on Russia.
02:53Russia had a pretty big attack on Ukraine over the weekend.
02:56Yeah, I know all about it.
02:57You have always said how good the relationship is with President Putin,
03:01but he's not really giving you anything that you want.
03:04Is that making you less trustful of him?
03:07Well, nobody was tougher in Russia than me.
03:10That has to do with the pipeline.
03:12As you know, Nord Stream 2 and lots of other things.
03:15But I'm not happy.
03:17I'm not happy.
03:18I'm not happy about the whole situation.
03:20You know, it's interesting.
03:21It doesn't affect us because it's not our soldiers.
03:26But they're losing now.
03:26I used to tell you 5,000 losing 7,000 between Ukraine and Russia,
03:317,000 soldiers every single week.
03:35It's such a horrible waste of humanity.
03:39So, no, I am not thrilled with what's happening there.
03:41I will tell you.
03:42I think it's going to get settled.
03:44So I settled seven wars.
03:46This, I would have said, would have been maybe the easiest one to settle of all.
03:51But with war, you never know what you're getting.
03:53But we're going to get it.
03:55I believe we're going to get it settled.
03:57But I am not happy with them.
03:58I'm not happy with anything having to do with that war.
04:02It's just such a waste of great humanity.
04:05What do you think is the greatest obstacle to a peace deal in Ukraine?
04:09As of right now, what do you think is the greatest obstacle to a peace deal?
04:13Well, we're going to see.
04:15I mean, we have some very interesting discussions.
04:18You know, Europe, certain European leaders are coming over to our country on Monday or Tuesday.
04:25And individually.
04:27And I think we're going to get that settled.
04:30I think we're going to get it settled.
04:32We have to.
04:33You can't lose, you know, when they're losing 5,000 to 7,000 soldiers a week for no reason,
04:40you have to get it settled.
04:42Of all of the wars, whether it's the Congo and Rwanda, they said it was impossible to settle.
04:49You look at every one of them.
04:51I mean, every one of these wars were impossible.
04:53I got every one of them settled, seven of them, seven.
04:56This was the one I really thought would be the easiest, but it's not.
05:00But I think it's going to get settled.
05:02But there was a reporting in Axios that in the last three months of the Biden administration,
05:06they did about 4,000 pardons.
05:09The chief of staff's assistant was sending emails to pardon his own family members.
05:13Are you still interested in getting to the bottom of the auto-pen scandal?
05:16Well, I think the auto-pen is one of the great scandals of our time.
05:20The auto-pen was our president, or to put it a different way, whoever operated the auto-pen was our president.
05:28It's not allowed. It's just not allowed.
05:32And they gave a pardon to the unselect committee.
05:35After the unselect committee realized that that whole situation was a hoax, and it was all their fault,
05:42including Nancy Pelosi turning down security and all, you know, turning down soldiers.
05:48It all came out bad for them.
05:50They burned everything. They got rid of everything.
05:54There's absolutely nothing there. It's all gone.
05:57And that was based on an auto-pen.
06:01You know, they gave those members of Congress that were on the unselect committee, they gave them pardons.
06:08So, I think that, I think it's a big, I think it's a tremendous scandal.
06:12What do you think the media would say, if you pardon your kids your last day in office via an auto-pen?
06:17Don't you think the media would go haywire?
06:18Well, I think it would have been a big story.
06:20It would have been a big story, yeah.
06:21Would have been a big, I like this guy.
06:23I don't get this guy.
06:25I don't know, you know, Irina Zaruska, who sat multiple times on a sergeant subway.
06:30Did you see the signal behind the street?
06:33Yeah, where was, the subway was where?
06:36He's been started out on a light train, he's got multiple times by multiple times on a sergeant subway.
06:41No, I haven't heard.
06:42Okay.
06:43When did this happen?
06:44It happened in August, but the video just came out.
06:46Oh, I see, yeah. I see the video.
06:48I'll know all about it by tomorrow morning.
06:53Do you have plans for Chicago this week?
06:55No, not really. Not really.
06:57We're going to go someplace, but we're thinking, look, D.C. now is 100 percent, I don't want to say 100,
07:04but it's pretty close to 100 percent healthy, happy, thriving.
07:10It's a crime-free zone. You know that.
07:12You know, you could go out to dinner tonight, Jeff.
07:14You could go out to dinner, and you most likely will not be harmed.
07:19You know that. You won't be beaten to hell.
07:21There's still some crimes. There's still some crimes.
07:24Very little. And within a week, within a week, there will be nothing. Do you agree with me?
07:28I feel much safer walking around. I can't fight, though.
07:30No, it's a safe place now.
07:32But you've been talking a lot about Chicago, and there was some-
07:35No, no. Chicago's been talking a lot.
07:37So, Chicago, last week, lost nine people were killed, and 28 people were shot.
07:44The week before, it was seven people were killed, and 37 people were shot.
07:49The week before that, it was the same kind of number.
07:53Chicago is a very dangerous place, and we have a governor that doesn't care about crime, I guess.
08:00We could solve Chicago very quickly, but we're going to make a decision as to where we go over the next day or two.
08:07When you look at what happened to D.C. in a short period of time, honestly, it's amazing.
08:12Over a period of 12 days, in other words, on the 12th day, we had the crime just about solved.
08:20And right now, people are walking out, they're going out right now to restaurants all over D.C.
08:25Whereas, if you go back a year ago or six months ago, nobody was going out. Nobody.
08:32We did it in 12 days. Now it's better than it was in 12 days.
08:36We'll make it even better, and then we're also going to clean it up.
08:39We're going to clean up the city.
08:40We're going to make some great improvements to the roads, to the media, you know, to all of the Cosmos signs.
08:47You've got signs that have been up for 30, 40 years. They're worn out. They look like hell.
08:51We're going to redo the signs. We're going to put up two signs.
08:54It's going to look beautiful.
08:55Within a six-month period, it'll look really beautiful.
08:58But you have, essentially, a crime-free zone.
09:02I mean, here we are on a nice Sunday evening. If you'd like. It feels like Saturday, actually.
09:09If you'd like, you could go out and you could have dinner on me. But you wouldn't do it that way.
09:15But you could have dinner on me if you'd like. Go ahead. What else?
09:18Mr. Russia, when do you plan to speak to President Putin next? And what might second...
09:23Mr. Look, we're going to get it done.
09:27The Russia-Ukraine situation, we're going to get it done. I have confidence we're going to get it done.
09:33Think of it. I got seven done, all of which were impossible to do.
09:39If you look at any one of the seven, you know them. I don't have to go through them.
09:45Many of them were impossible. One was 31 years, 10 million people killed.
09:51One was 34 years, with 8 million people killed.
09:54How about the Congo? They lost 9 million people, and it went on for years with Rwanda.
10:01All settled. Everybody happy.
10:05The one that I thought would have been, for me, the easiest, because of Putin.
10:10I thought that would have been, it's not turned out that way, but we're going to get it settled.
10:14We've got unfairness, Mr. Chairman, brought him in to discuss why they could do it,
10:18how they could meet the Bible. What kind of advice is he going to do?
10:22Why did he bring it back in? I think we're going to have a deal on Gaza very soon.
10:28It's a hell of a problem.
10:31Again, it's a problem we want to solve for the Middle East, for Israel, for everybody.
10:38But it's a problem we're going to get done.
10:42So they have hostages. It could be a little bit less than 20, because some, you know, they tend to die, right?
10:47They tend to die, even though they're young people, largely.
10:50They're dying. Young people don't die. Young people stay alive.
10:55But with this whole thing, they tend to die. But we have, let's say, 20 people, and we have about 38 bodies.
11:02Bodies, meaning bodies.
11:05Are you confident you can get them all released?
11:07Yeah, I think so. I think we're going to get them all.
11:09Did you see the turnover of the Japanese Prime Minister stepping down? Do you have any reactions to that?
11:14No, I was surprised, because I knew him. I liked him. And he's just now stepping down. A little bit surprised.
11:22I found him to be a very nice man, actually. We dealt very well together.
11:27The price of beef continues to rise, and other items keep going up. Is there any way to address the cost of beef?
11:33Yeah, once it kicks in, once our policies kick in, the price of beef will be going down. Just like the price of eggs went down and the price of a lot of other grocery items went down, beef will go down. It'll all go down.
11:47Yeah. Energy has gone way down. The price of gasoline has gone, really. I mean, I think you'll be hitting $2 very soon. And it was $4.50 a little while ago.
11:58So, energy has gone way down. That brings everything else with it. But beef has gone, as you know, for other reasons. The price of beef has gone up a little bit. It'll be coming down.
12:09So, the passage to Alaska, in the Oval Office, you said that the First Lady expressed she wasn't too enamored with Putin. You said you came home. You said you spoke to Putin. She said, well, I heard he just blew up a village today. Has she expressed anything since you've come back from Alaska?
12:22This lady actually got along great with Putin, as I did. But, you know, we're disappointed. Both of us are disappointed that this ridiculous war continues.
12:34Are you proud to see her sending the letter that she sent to Japan up there?
12:36Yeah, she is. And she's felt very strongly about the children. Yeah. Feels very badly about it. Thank you, everybody.
12:44Do you have plans to go to Japan and South Korea this fall?
12:47What does that mean?
12:48Do you have plans to go to South Korea and Japan?
12:50Maybe. I mean, we'll see. But it's going to be very interesting what comes out.
12:54I think we may have learned something. Because when they come here, and there's nobody that can do what they're supposed to be doing, and they bring people, those people can also teach our people.
13:05You know, it's complicated stuff. And something very interesting could come out of that. Thank you, everybody.
