00:00You guys have a very interesting couple of days.
00:03We have Japan, and then we have South Korea,
00:06but we have China coming, and it's going to be very interesting.
00:09I have a lot of respect for President Xi,
00:11and we are going to, I think we're going to come away with a deal.
00:15But I really feel good.
00:18Our country is doing so well economically.
00:21It's doing so incredibly well.
00:23The Democrats shouldn't let it open.
00:24I guess they don't do that because it's doing so well.
00:27It's too bad.
00:27But on the macro scale, it's not having that kind of unfair.
00:33We just want people to get paid.
00:34We think it's very unfair.
00:36And how about the man that put up $130 million
00:39to make sure our military got paid?
00:42You won't tell him who he is.
00:43I won't tell you.
00:44I won't tell you.
00:45But this is a person that called me that said,
00:48sir, I'd like to make a contribution of any difference needed
00:52for the United States military.
00:54I said, I don't know.
00:55That could be a big number.
00:56And we worked it out.
00:57It was about $130 million.
00:59And he wrote a check for $130 million
01:02because he's an unbelievable patriot.
01:05And that's what it's all about.
01:06So we're going to have a good time over the next two days.
01:09Get a little rest.
01:10One quick one, sir.
01:11What is it?
01:12I haven't been watching it too much.
01:15I'm disappointed.
01:16They didn't put Pete Rose in.
01:19I said, put Pete Rose in before he dies.
01:21He had over 4,000 hits.
01:23They didn't do it.
01:24And with all the gambling you see now, I mean, give me a break.
01:28They didn't put Pete Rose in.
01:29I asked the commissioner, put Pete Rose in, commissioner, long before he died.
01:34Like a year before he died.
01:35They didn't get it done.
01:37Should have gotten it done.
01:38Pete Rose was a great baseball player.
01:43One quick one.
01:44You said yesterday that you might invite China to Mar-a-Lago.
01:47When would that be?
01:49Well, sometime after.
01:50I'm going to go.
01:51We pretty much agreed that I'll be going to China.
01:54When is that?
01:54In the earlier part of the year.
01:56Okay.
01:57And the presidency will be coming into maybe Washington or Palm Beach or someplace sometime after that.
02:03Vietnam said that you accepted an invitation there as well.
02:06Do you plan on visiting Vietnam?
02:07He invited me.
02:08If I can, I will.
02:09We have a good relationship with Vietnam.
02:10I mean, they were, look, they've made a lot of money with the United States over the years
02:15with presidents that really didn't know what they were doing.
02:19But now, as you know, Vietnam is not charging those tariffs.
02:22And that's a big step.
02:24And based on that, I would.
02:26That's a big move.
02:27When Friday, Ambassador Greer launched a 301 on whether trying to renege on its phase one deal.
02:33Part of these talks, would you pause that?
02:35How connected is that?
02:36I don't think it's going to be.
02:37It may be a part of the talk, but it may be a part of just the negotiation.
02:41That was a separate deal from before.
02:43And there's a lot of view in the United States that they didn't keep aspects of that deal.
02:47So we're just looking into it.
02:48That's continuing.
02:50But we're really focused on...
02:51If all works out well, I'm sure they'll be able to talk us out of it.
02:54You agree?
02:55We'll see.
02:55I think so.
02:56Up to you soon, sir.
02:57I have a feeling they'll talk us out of it.
02:59You long said that you have a great relationship with Xi Jinping.
03:02You really get along.
03:04Could you just elaborate on that?
03:06What about your relationship is so great?
03:08And what about him are you really drawn to?
03:09We were obviously...
03:11That was hurt pretty badly by COVID.
03:15When COVID came in through Wuhan, everybody knows that.
03:19I always said it.
03:19I said it right from the beginning.
03:20So that had an impact.
03:23But, you know, an impact for a lot of reasons.
03:25Number one, we didn't get to speak as much because we're all busy getting out of that nightmare.
03:30But, no, I think I have a very good relationship, as good as anybody.
03:35And I would say that likewise with him.
