00:00Bueno, gracias muy mucho. Es un honor de tener un amigo mío aquí,
00:06Víctor Orban, el primer ministro de Japón.
00:09Y ha hecho un gran trabajo.
00:12Es un hombre muy poderoso dentro de su país, pero también es un hombre que le gusta.
00:18Ellos le gustan a Víctor, y la gente que conoce a él.
00:22Él vive un gran país y no tiene problemas, no tiene problemas como algunos países,
00:28pero probablemente hay un montón de cosas que no sé, o que no sé, o que no sé, o que no quiero saber.
00:33Pero él es un hombre muy especial, he conocido por un tiempo.
00:37Vamos a hablar de trade, vamos a hablar de un poco de Rusia y Ukraine,
00:42vamos a hablar de energía y de energía precios.
00:45Tenemos energía down a un poco de alto punto ahora en los Estados Unidos,
00:49pero la energía costa es muy baja, la general costa es muy baja.
00:54And I just saw that Walmart came out with a statement last night,
00:58they've done it for many years, that Thanksgiving this year will cost 25% less
01:03than Thanksgiving last year under Sleepy Joe Biden.
01:07So that's a big difference, that's a big difference, 25% less Thanksgiving.
01:12And I think that's a very good chart.
01:14They include everything, everything that you need for Thanksgiving.
01:18So it's 25% less this year than it was last year.
01:22And that's true, that's emblematic of the rest of prices.
01:26Energy prices are way down from what they were last year.
01:30Inflation is almost non-existent.
01:33We have inflation down to a very low number,
01:35whereas Biden, as you know, is the worst inflation in the history of our country.
01:39So we're doing very well.
01:41We have a shutdown, as you probably know, because the Democrats have gone.
01:45They're crazy.
01:46They're crazy.
01:47But they don't care if they hurt the country.
01:49But we've approved it 14 times.
01:52We've approved an opening up 14 times, and they keep rejecting it.
01:57And I guess maybe they will again.
01:59Let's see what happens.
02:01They want to have a lot of bad things happen, bad things for our country.
02:05We're not going to give $1.5 trillion to people that came into our country illegally.
02:10We're not going to do it to people who came from prisons.
02:13They came from mental institutions and drug dealers.
02:16They want to give them medical care.
02:19$1.5 trillion.
02:22And we're not going to do other things that they're requesting also.
02:25So I just want to welcome this really good person.
02:31I know him very well.
02:32He's a good person.
02:32And he's a great leader, and he's loved in his country.
02:35And, Victor, would you like to say a few words?
02:37Thank you very much, President.
02:38Thank you.
02:39First of all, may I say that thank you very much for the invitation.
02:45It's good to see you, President, back to the White House.
02:49And good to be back after six years, in a way, again, to see you here.
02:53Yeah.
02:54As we have met last time.
02:55The reason why we are here to open a new chapter between the bilateral relation of United States and Hungary,
03:03basically because during the Democrat administration, everything was ruined.
03:07So after you're leaving, President, everything was basically broke, ruined, canceled, a lot of harm done by the previous administration.
03:15In the last ten months, President, what you have done, we are very much grateful for that, you restored the old level of the relationship.
03:25You improved the bilateral relation.
03:28You repaired what was done badly by the previous administration.
03:32So now we are in quite a good position to open up a new chapter, let's say a golden age between United States and Hungary.
03:40And we have plenty of suggestions for today, economic cooperation, military cooperation, and political cooperation.
03:46And the main issue, probably, President, you know we are neighboring Ukraine, which is in war.
03:52It's the most important issue for us.
03:54And we would like to discuss with you how we can contribute to help you in your peace efforts.
04:00And you've taken a lot of Ukrainians that needed your help, and you've taken a lot of them in your country, and everybody appreciates that.
04:08Thank you very much.
04:09We do our best.
04:10Thank you very much.
04:11Any questions, please?
04:12Mr. President, are you feeling hungry of the barbells on Russian oil, sir?
04:18Thank you, Mr. President.
04:19Mr. President, Mr. Orban has requested an exemption as it relates to oil that is coming from Russia.
04:28Is that something that you are prepared to do?
04:30And may I ask Mr. Orban a question in regards to that very issue?
04:34Sure.
04:35We're looking at it because it's very difficult for him to get the oil and gas from other areas.
04:41As you know, they don't have the advantage of having sea.
04:45It's a great country.
04:46It's a big country.
04:46But they don't have sea.
04:47They don't have the ports.
04:49And so they have a difficult problem.
04:52There's another country that has that same problem, by the way.
04:55But when you look at what's happened with Europe, many of those countries, they don't have those problems.
05:00And they buy a lot of oil and gas from Russia.
05:04And as they know, I'm very disturbed by that because we're helping them, and they're going and buying oil and gas from Russia.
05:09So that question could be really asked maybe more accurately if you talked about many European countries, not Hungary necessarily, because Hungary is in a different position.
05:20But many European countries are buying oil and gas from Russia, and they have been for years.
05:27And I say, what's that all about, right?
05:29Thank you.
05:29So that will be one of the issues for today, to explain clearly what would be the consequences for the Hungarian people and for the Hungarian economy not to get oil and gas from Russia, because we are supplied by pipelines.
05:44Pipeline is not an ideological or political issue.
05:47It's a physical reality, because we don't have port, exactly as the president explained to you.
05:52So we will negotiate on that point.
05:54It's vital for us anyway.
05:55Mr. Orban, there are two pipelines, as I understand it.
05:58There's a pipeline from Ukraine, and there's a pipeline from Croatia.
06:02And my understanding is that the pipeline from Croatia can provide all of Hungary's energy needs.
06:09As a result, why would you need an exemption if that's the case?
06:12So when we discuss that issue, you should separate the gas and the oil.
06:17On the gas issue, which is very important for us, 90% of the Hungarian households based on heating system, based on gas.
06:25So we have only one pipeline delivering gas to Hungary, which is the main pipeline, the Turkish one.
06:34What we got from Croatia is a very small volume supplementary gas pipeline.
06:40Okay, that's gas.
06:41Oil is another issue.
06:42So oil is coming from the Druzba pipeline, which is the main supply.
06:46And that is a Croatian one, which is the secondary and supplementary pipeline.
06:53We would like to convince the Croatian government to enlarge it and make it possible to deliver more.
06:59Under these circumstances, it cannot be the main pipeline.
07:02It's just supplementary.
07:03But later on, with some big investments, it could serve better the interest of Hungary.
07:07Many people see this issue not just as an encounter in a country, but as the symbol of the strengthening of a new conservative world alliance.
07:27With your very different interpretation, and how do you see the future of Europe in the life of leaders like Viktor Orbán stand up to Brussels' bureaucracy and the globalist agenda?
07:39Are you from Hungary?
07:41Are you from Hungary?
07:41Yes, I am.
07:42I figured.
07:42The fact is that he's a great leader, and he's respected all over.
07:48They're not necessarily liked by some of the leaders, but, you know, those leaders have proven to be wrong.
07:53If you look at his stance on immigration and other things, you know, if you look at Europe, they've made tremendous mistakes on immigration.
08:00It's really hurting them very badly.
08:02He has not made a mistake on immigration.
08:04So, he's respected by everybody.
08:08He's liked by some.
08:09And I can tell you, I like and respect.
08:11I'm a double.
08:12I like and respect him.
08:14And that's the way Hungary is being led.
08:17They're being led properly.
08:18And that's why he's going to be very successful in his upcoming election.
08:23Mr. President, is there any questions?
08:25May I have a comment on that?
08:28Language is important because the Anglo-Saxon terminology is different from the European one.
08:34So, to use categories can create some misunderstanding.
08:37So, I would like to be clear as much as we can.
08:41We are the only government in Europe which considers itself as a modern Christian government.
08:49All the other governments in Europe are basically liberal leftist governments.
08:52So, we try to do something from 2010, which is different from what the others are doing,
08:57even at the philosophical level and at the level of practice as well, as just the president described it, like migration.
09:03So, we are a kind of a special island of difference in a liberal ocean in Europe.
09:11And we consider ourselves as a modern Christian government.
09:14That's the proper category to describe what we are doing.
09:17To both of you, to both of you, to both of you, to both of you.
09:22We're talking, but we'll report on that later.
09:27Meetings with Putin.
09:29We were talking about that with Victor.
09:31He understands Putin and knows him very well.
09:34And I feel that, I mean, I'm going to let you say what you think,
09:39but I think that Victor feels we're going to get that war ended in the not-too-distant future.
09:45Victor, do you want to talk about that?
09:47I'm strongly convinced.
09:49So, the question is whether we Westerners are unified or not.
09:52The problem is that the president has huge peace efforts,
09:56which are just splendid and very positive for the European continent and all the peoples of Europe.
10:03But at the same time, we are not unified because Brussels and the Europeans have a different approach to the war.
10:09So, the only pro-peace government is the United States government and the small Hungary in Europe, anyway.
10:14All the other governments prefer to continue the war because many of them think that Ukraine can win on the front line,
10:23which is a misunderstanding of the situation.
10:25So, it's a complicated issue.
10:27We will discuss it.
10:28It requests not just two minutes to respond to your question, but rather than our lecture.
10:32Sorry, not to continue more.
10:34To both of you.
10:35To both of you.
10:36So, you would say that Ukraine cannot win that war?
10:41You know, miracle can happen.
10:43Yeah.
10:43That's right.
10:45Mr. President, you can't be a peace summit.
10:48Thank you, Mr. President.
10:50What is your message to the EU because of Hungary and the EU want to impose their war policies on Hungary?
10:58What is your message?
11:00Well, I think they should respect Hungary and respect this leader very, very strongly because he's been right on immigration.
11:07Look what's happened to Europe with the immigration.
11:10They have people flooding Europe all over the place and it's hurting it.
11:14It's the crime rates are way up.
11:16A lot of bad things are happening.
11:17He his crime rates are very low.
11:20They're the same as they always were, which is very little crime because he's kept he's kept it the way it should be.
11:28Europe, I mean, I don't want to go into individual countries.
11:32They're all friends of mine, everyone.
11:33As you know, in the in NATO, they voted to go from 2% to 5% and, you know, that nobody thought that was possible.
11:40And we had just about almost other than Spain, a unanimous vote.
11:45No, I think that I think they respect him a lot.
11:51They don't agree with him.
11:52But actually, inwardly, I think they probably do agree what he was right on immigration.
11:58They were wrong.
11:59They are flooding Europe with people from all over the world.
12:02And Europe is becoming a different place.
12:04And I tell the leaders all the time, you better stop or you're not going to have Europe anymore.
12:08It's a very dangerous thing they're doing.
12:13May I have a reflection on that?
12:15So on migration issue, just for clarification.
12:18In Hungary, the number of illegal migration is like that.
12:22Zero.
12:23Zero.
12:24Because we have a crystal clear system.
12:26If somebody would like to come to Hungary, first he should ask for that.
12:30If he gives the permission, they can step in.
12:33Nobody can step on the territory of Hungary without having a permission from the Hungarian authorities.
12:39This is the regulation.
12:41Simple, well working.
12:42What is the consequence of that?
12:44We are under sanctions, financial sanctions of European Union,
12:47because we don't let the illegal migrations to come to Hungary and to the European Union as well.
12:53So we have to pay, just to inform you, we have to pay every day one million euro as a punishment to the Brazilian budget.
13:02Because we stopped the migrants.
13:04This is the absurd world we are living now in Europe.
13:07Mr. President, to both of you, to both of you, to both of you.
13:10Go ahead, go ahead.
13:11I'd like to ask whether, what do you think, what do you believe after this meeting,
13:18can you have maybe, or the European Union will have another opinion about, you know,
13:25just because of this penalty, another opinion about Hungary because of the immigration
13:29and because of this kind of politics, which is not that strictly as the European Union directs.
13:35What do you believe?
13:36Where are you from?
13:37I'm from Hungary.
13:38I do have that conversation with them, and I respect and like them.
13:44You know, they're all friends of mine.
13:45I think pretty much every single leader in Europe is a friend of mine.
13:48We get along really well.
13:50They've done everything I've asked them to do with NATO, etc.
13:53The only thing they continue to do is buy oil from Russia.
13:57That's not too good.
13:58But I told them they should respect this man.
14:01They can also learn from Viktor.
14:03Viktor has had a very hard stance on, more than anything else, immigration or even illegal immigration.
14:12He literally has accepted no one over the years.
14:15Think of how much greater these countries would be if they didn't have the tremendous crime that has come in with the immigration.
14:23People just flowing into Europe.
14:26They've got to stop it.
14:27And not only stop it, they have to reverse it.
14:29They have to get them out.
14:30We've done that here.
14:31We have zero people coming in now.
14:33The borders are closed.
14:34We take people, but we take them legally.
14:37But we've done it very strongly, and we're moving hundreds of thousands, millions of people out.
14:42We had, of the 20 million people, 25 million, nobody knows even what the number is.
14:48They never knew.
14:49Biden had no idea.
14:50He had no idea.
14:52I don't believe he had any idea what was happening because he wasn't about open borders.
14:56But we had open borders, and we had millions of people come in, and they were coming in from jails.
15:02They were coming in from mental institutions.
15:04They were coming in as drug dealers.
15:06We had 11,888 murderers.
15:10Half of them committed more than one murder.
15:13We're getting them all out.
15:15We're getting them out.
15:16He doesn't have that problem.
15:18But Europe does have that problem.
15:20Other parts of Europe have that problem.
15:22So, you know, I tell them all the time.
15:25I stick up for Viktor Orban.
15:28Not a lot of people do because in many cases they're jealous.
15:32They wish they did what he did.
15:34They would have no problems if they did what he did.
15:38And I have a bigger heart than anybody.
15:40But, you know, they've destroyed some of those countries.
15:43Some of those countries had no crime 10 years ago.
15:46And now they have quite a bit of crime.
15:49And I would say that I don't know anything about your crime levels, but I would imagine they're very low.
15:55Huh?
15:56Not too high, right?
15:57No, no, it's very down.
15:59One of the best in Europe.
16:00I had a feeling.
16:00Just a clarification as well.
16:09I'm not here to ask up President Trump to manage my conflicts or our conflicts with the European Union.
16:16This is our matter.
16:17So we will do it.
16:18What we need is a golden age, to open a golden age of the United States-Hungarian relationship.
16:25That's the biggest help we can get from the United States.
16:27And maybe Europe too.
16:28You know, we can include Europe.
16:29But it's going to get more difficult.
16:32So inside the European Union, we will manage all of our affairs.
16:35To be the most possible humble guy, yeah?
16:39But I'm the longest-serving prime minister of Europe.
16:42I survived all the prime ministers who attacked us.
16:45And I'm sure we will survive next years as well.
16:48So we will manage our conflicts successfully.
16:50Mr. President, one question for you, Mr. President, one question for the prime minister.
16:56Speaking of Europe, last month you said that you would not withdraw U.S. troops from Europe.
17:03Yet, a few weeks later, the Pentagon announced, decided to withdraw significant number of troops from Romania.
17:12So have you changed your mind or the Pentagon ignored your assurance?
17:17No, they don't ignore anything that I say.
17:20What they do do is we make changes.
17:22We move.
17:23It's the same number, total number, but we move people around.
17:26I happen to like the Romanian people.
17:28I think they're great people.
17:30And, Pete, you may want to suggest something right there, please.
17:33Absolutely.
17:34No, nothing was uncoordinated with the White House.
17:37It's all part of the view that we have of Europe.
17:39And there will remain troops in Romania, but there's some change in how we rotate and how many we rotate.
17:44And the relationship with Romania is very good, right?
17:46It's very good.
17:47And we've coordinated all this with Secretary General Ruta, throughout UConn, throughout our allies.
17:53Everyone was notified in advance.
17:55The relationship with Romania is very good.
17:58The relationship with Europe is very good.
18:00I disagree with what Europe is doing, having to do with immigration, but I agree with them and many other subjects.
18:05We just signed the biggest trade deal ever made with Europe, $950 billion.
18:11We were able to do it because of tariffs.
18:13It was a deal that was good, very good, but we had a very unfair deal.
18:19We were treated very badly before I came into office.
18:22But we just signed.
18:24It's the single biggest trade deal ever signed.
18:27So we have a very good relationship with Europe.
18:29What is the main dispute with the Russians, which prevent the Budapest summit with Putin from taking place?
18:41The basic dispute is they just don't want to stop yet.
18:46And I think they will.
18:48I think that's it's taken a big toll on Russia, big toll on both countries, obviously.
18:53But it's taken a big toll.
18:54They're losing 7000 soldiers a week.
18:57That's a big toll.
18:58And up between the two of them divided, you know, with Russia losing more soldiers, actually.
19:04But they're both losing a lot of people.
19:06And that's the primary thing that with me, it's not economic.
19:10It's not money.
19:11In fact, we don't spend any money.
19:13We send it to NATO.
19:14They pay us for our missiles and for our military and everything else.
19:17We don't.
19:18It's not a question of money.
19:19It was with Biden.
19:20He spent $350 billion.
19:22He got nothing for it.
19:24The war would have never happened.
19:26If I were president, the war would have never happened.
19:28I think you would agree with that.
19:29This war would never have happened if I were president.
19:32It's stupid that it happened.
19:33But it did happen.
19:34I inherited the war, and I think we're going to get it ended in a not-too-distant future.
19:40Mr. President, please, please.
19:42So no question that if that time the name of the United States president would have been Donald Trump,
19:49there would be no war between Ukraine and Russia.
19:51That's clear.
19:52But what we are speaking about here is more than that.
19:55Because without the pressure coming from the United States government, I'm speaking 2022,
20:00the Europeans would not take that hard line, what they have today on the war.
20:06Remember that big countries of Europe rejected to be involved more than just sending some, you know, humanitarian issues.
20:12So the pressure coming from the United States to be more pro-war in Europe.
20:17So that's the fact of the history, anyway.
20:20So we have to restore something which was ruined and created from here.
20:26And that's the reason why I understand absolutely the devotion of the president now to do everything to stop the war,
20:33because that would be not that deep without the previous pressure, previous government pressure from here.
20:39So the reason why I'm here, to be as much as helpful I can to contribute to the peace efforts of the president,
20:47because that was an enormous mistake what we have done, I mean, the Western world, several years ago.
20:52And we have to stop it, and it's common responsibility.
20:54Biden actually pushed for that war to happen, okay, if you can believe it.
20:58Nobody can believe it, but it's one of those things.
21:00And now look what happened.
21:02Look what's happened to Ukraine.
21:03It's a much smaller country.
21:05A lot of people are dead.
21:05You take a look at what, it's a whole different world over there.
21:10And Russia has not been helped very much by that war either.
21:14They lost a tremendous number of soldiers and people.
21:18And, you know, look, that war should have been a one-week war.
21:22I don't know why it's taken.
21:23This is four years.
21:24Should have been one week.
21:26Should have been over with.
21:27But it would have never started.
21:28Should have never started.
21:29And I would have solved the problem without giving up anything.
21:32Ukraine would have remained as is.
21:34So there were tremendous mistakes long before I got there.
21:38I inherited that mess, and we're getting it solved, along with the eight wars that we've already ended.
21:43Mr. Orban.
21:45Mr. Orban.
21:47Mr. Orban.
21:48Mr. Orban.
21:49What is our interest cultivating better relations with the EU leader or Manker?
21:56I think I can do both.
21:57I mean, there's no reason why I can't.
21:58I get along well with the European nations.
22:00He is still a member of the European Union, so it's easy.
22:02Yeah.
22:03And by the way, he's a member in good standing, I guess, although they penalize him everyone.
22:07But he's a member in good standing with the European Union, so he's a member.
22:12He's a part of it.
22:14But I get along great with him, and I get along very well with him.
22:17I agree with him on immigration much more than I agree with them.
22:20But I agree with, you know, a lot of the things in Europe he also agrees with.
22:26But he had a difference, I would say, primarily on immigration more than anything else.
22:31And I happen to think he was right, because their whole fabric has changed.
22:36I mean, you go to some of the countries, they're unrecognizable now because of what they've done.
22:41And Hungary is very recognizable.
22:43Yes, ma'am.
22:43Mr. President.
22:44Yes, Mr. President.
22:45Will there be a peaceful meeting in Budapest still this year?
22:49What do you think?
22:50You mean a meeting with President Putin?
22:53Yes.
22:54You mean in Hungary?
22:56Well, I'd like to keep it in Hungary, in Budapest.
22:59That meeting, it turned out I didn't want to do that meeting because I didn't think anything was going to be happening of significance.
23:06But if we have it, I'd like to do it in Budapest.
23:09Yeah, it'd be good.
23:10Mr. President, you said many times to support Viktor Orban.
23:14Why is it important to win the next election, for example, for the United States, Hungary, and also Europe?
23:20Why is it important?
23:22Well, I don't know his opponent.
23:24I don't know if he has an opponent yet.
23:26At some point he will, I guess.
23:27You know, we always have opponents.
23:29Always, always, always.
23:29Right?
23:29Not much of an opponent.
23:31But I'll be supportive of him.
23:33He's done a fantastic job.
23:35We've had a great relationship.
23:37The United States, look, we had a country that had no leader.
23:42It had an auto pen.
23:43Illegal auto pen.
23:45Totally illegal.
23:46And that's coming out stronger and stronger.
23:49But we had no leader in the United States.
23:53I mean, Hungary, as an example, had no relationship with the United States, even though we do, you
23:59know, billions of dollars in trade with Hungary.
24:01Hungary's a big country economically.
24:03We do, you know, billions of dollars in trade with Hungary.
24:07Why would they give that up?
24:10And they gave up so much else.
24:12Look, they give up everything.
24:13This country was poorly run.
24:15I think if I didn't win the election, we might not have a country, if you want to know the
24:20truth.
24:20Not a recognizable country.
24:22But our relationship was immediately good as soon as I won the election.
24:27Because Viktor is one of the people that's highly respected.
24:31And we had a great relationship with Hungary.
24:33And we do again.
24:33That was an easy one.
24:35Yeah.
24:35Do you and Prime Minister Orban agree on ways to put pressure on President Putin to come to the negotiating table to end the war in France?
24:45I think we agree that the war is going to end.
24:49Sometimes people have to fight it out a little bit longer.
24:52But I think we agree that the war is going to end in the not too distant future.
24:55Do you want to talk about that, Baker?
24:57Well, I have some ideas and I will present it to the president.
25:03Mr. President, since you brought up the Walmart Thanksgiving meal, and it is cheaper, but it also contains less.
25:14Well, I haven't heard that, you're telling me.
25:16Who are you with?
25:17Who are you with?
25:18I'm with NBC News, sir.
25:19Fake news.
25:21You're fake news.
25:22What a...
25:23NBC has gone down the tubes along with most of the rest of them.
25:26If I ask, why do you think there's such a disconnect between the economy that you're describing day-to-day and the way many Americans say it's human and they're concerned about it?
25:35Well, they feel better about our country right now, other than the shutdown, obviously, which is caused by the Democrats, could be ended by the Democrats in two minutes.
25:43They feel much better.
25:44We have more jobs.
25:45We just set a record on jobs.
25:46You do know that.
25:47We have more investment in our country than any country in history.
25:51We're over $18 trillion as of this moment, and we're going to be maybe at $20 or $21 trillion by the time I finish up my first year.
26:00And there's been no country, China, no country in the world that's done anywhere even close to that number.
26:06Your friend Biden, as an example, in four years was less than a trillion.
26:12We'll be at $21 trillion in one year.
26:14So there's no country that was even close to that, and our country was a laughingstock all over the world.
26:21We have more jobs.
26:22We have more potential than any other country.
26:24And, frankly, we're the hottest country right now.
26:27Victor said to me before, we're the hottest country anywhere in the world.
26:31Think of it.
26:31We'll have $20, $21 trillion invested.
26:35We have auto plants pouring back in.
26:37We have AI pouring back in.
26:39We're leading China in AI by a lot.
26:41We're leading everybody in every category.
26:44There's no category that we're in second place.
26:46So I just heard this yesterday that Walmart said that the Thanksgiving was 25% more expensive under Biden.
26:59That's a big, to me, that's a big number because Walmart's respected.
27:04I mean, Walmart is Walmart.
27:05And, you know, they're giving you prices.
27:07So that would mean that the whole series of pricing and costs, you know, the groceries and everything else, it was a con job.
27:16It was a con job.
27:17Affordability, they call it, was a con job by the Democrats.
27:21The Democrats are good at a few things, cheating on elections and conning people with facts that aren't true.
27:27It was 25%.
27:30Walmart just announced it two days ago.
27:3325% cheaper this year will be cheaper to have Thanksgiving than it was a year ago under Sleepy Joe Biden.
27:41Mr. President, you say that affordability is a con job, as you put it.
27:47Say it.
27:47You said affordability is a con job.
27:49And you didn't want to, you said last night you didn't want to talk about affordability.
27:53I talked about it.
27:54When did I, when did I not want to talk about it?
27:56I talk about it all the time.
27:57We are much better than Biden and all of them.
28:01Now, just so you understand, do you remember that the Biden administration had the highest inflation in 48 years, but most people say ever recorded?
28:11Do you remember that?
28:13Right?
28:14Do you remember it?
28:15Did they have the highest inflation in 48 years?
28:18Did they?
28:19Just answer me the question.
28:20You know the answer.
28:21The answer is yes.
28:22They had the worst inflation in 48 years.
28:26We have almost no inflation.
28:27We're down now to 2 percent and we'll be at maybe 1 percent.
28:31You want to always stay above 1 percent, actually.
28:33You want a little tiny bit of inflation.
28:35We're at a perfect number.
28:37They were at the highest level in recorded history.
28:40And when you talk about affordability, that one fact.
28:45Now, let's talk about the second biggest subject, after inflation, energy.
28:50We're going to be at $2 gasoline.
28:52We're going to be approximately $2 very soon.
28:54We're a little bit above $2 right now for gasoline.
28:56Now, under Biden, it was four and a half.
29:01It even hit five, but it was $4, $3 and a half dollars.
29:05We're going to be at $2 a gallon.
29:07So gasoline is much less.
29:09Energy costs are less.
29:11When you have energy and when you have gasoline less, everything else follows.
29:14It's such a big category.
29:16So when you have lower energy prices, which I think you admit we do substantially, that
29:21means everything else.
29:23So we are the victors on affordability.
29:26But if I watched that election, which I was not much involved in, I didn't support Virginia,
29:31the candidate, didn't do a lot of support for the other candidates.
29:36They asked me about Cuomo and I said, well, it's a question, do you want a thug or do you
29:40want a communist?
29:41I mean, that was my response.
29:43So I wasn't involved in that stuff too much.
29:46But I will say this.
29:48If you look at affordability, which they campaigned on, they lied because they talked about, oh,
29:53prices are up.
29:54No, no.
29:54Prices are down under the Trump administration and they're down substantially.
30:00Energy prices are down by 30, 35, 40 percent.
30:04Gasoline is way down.
30:06And the other big thing is we started, inflation is way down.
30:10The biggest thing is inflation.
30:11The second biggest thing is energy.
30:14Energy is way down.
30:15And what's also down?
30:17Gasoline.
30:18Also, the biggest thing is inflation.
30:21And it's way down.
30:23We took over a mess.
30:25The highest inflation in recorded history.
30:28Some people would say 48 years.
30:30I'll take either one of them.
30:32But I believe it's the highest inflation in recorded history.
30:35That alone makes it impossible for them to have done a good job affordability-wise.
30:40And one other thing.
30:41When I came into office, Victor, two days into office, they were screaming at me about the
30:47cost of eggs.
30:48I was there for two days.
30:49Eggs had quadrupled.
30:52And I said, listen, I just got here.
30:54Let me check it out.
30:55And they were right.
30:57Eggs had gone up by three, four times.
30:59Within a period of a few months, we had eggs down to a normal cost.
31:04We did a great job on groceries and affordability.
31:07The only problem is the fake news.
31:09You people don't want to report it.
31:10And, in fact, I'd like to ask Caroline.
31:13Where's Caroline?
31:15I'd like to ask Caroline a question.
31:18Where is she?
31:20Did she?
31:20Uh-oh.
31:21She deserted us.
31:23She deserted me.
31:26Our great Caroline superstar deserted me.
31:29Anyway, she's right outside.
31:32She was going to talk about it because the fake news yesterday, they talked about that.
31:38They said, oh, I don't want to talk about affordability.
31:39The reason I don't want to talk about affordability is because everybody knows that it's far less
31:45expensive under Trump than it was under sleepy Joe Biden.
31:48And the prices are way down.
31:49Caroline?
31:50Yes, sir.
31:51Could you discuss that question that was asked and how it was asked in such a fake, disgusting
31:59manner by the fake news?
32:00Yeah, and I just saw it asked again here.
32:02And it's very unfortunate that the reporters in this room refused to address, sir, what you
32:07just said, which is that you inherited the worst inflation crisis in modern American history.
32:12And you are fixing it in 10 short months.
32:14And your entire administration has been tasked with this effort from Treasury Department to
32:19Agriculture Department to the National Economic Council right here at the White House.
32:23They are slashing regulation.
32:25He signed the largest middle class tax cut in six months.
32:28In six months in record time putting more money back into the American people's pockets.
32:32So affordability is what the American people elected this president to do.
32:36And he is doing it.
32:37And you guys refuse to cover it.
32:39And you refuse to cover that the previous administration created the worst unaffordability
32:44crisis in American history.
32:46And I've been watching the TV all day saying that he doesn't want to talk about affordability.
32:50That's what he's working on every day.
32:51And that's what this administration is doing.
32:53But you know why they refuse to cover it?
32:55Because they're fake news.
32:57That's why.
32:57Go ahead.
32:57Can I get through someone?
32:58Sure.
32:59Caroline, the prime minister would like you to work for him in Hungary.
33:06Please consider it.
33:07Please consider it.
33:07You know what?
33:08That's a very good decision you just made.
33:10Please, please, please don't leave us, Caroline.
33:14Yeah, please.
33:14You spoke to Republican senators.
33:16They do not seem interested right now in getting rid of the filipers.
33:19That's too bad.
33:19They're making a big mistake.
33:20That's right.
33:21No, but they're coming my way.
33:23You're right.
33:24Wait a minute.
33:24Wait a minute.
33:24The way to do it for the Republicans is to terminate the filibuster.
33:31They call it the nuclear option.
33:34This is the second form of nuclear.
33:36Very good.
33:36Very good.
33:37This is a good form.
33:38This is not a bad form.
33:39I would have been in favor of that a long time ago.
33:42But you know the Democrats are going to do that.
33:44And most of you will admit the Democrats are going to do that.
33:46So why aren't we doing it?
33:48And I think only a foolish person would be against that, especially when you realize that these
33:53are crazed people.
33:54These people are absolutely crazed.
33:56Trump derangement syndrome, whatever it may be.
33:59And I am totally in favor of terminating the filibuster.
34:04And we would be back to work within 10 minutes after that vote took place.
34:10And lots of other good things would happen.
34:12And it doesn't make any sense that a Republican would not want to do that.
34:16If they're not going to do that, then it seems like you'd have to make a deal with Democrats
34:20to end the shutdown.
34:21Here's some of the things that we'd pass if we terminated the filibuster.
34:25Voter ID.
34:27No mail-in voting.
34:28No cash bail.
34:30No men and women's sports.
34:32No welfare for illegals.
34:33You could go on and on.
34:35This is two pages of things we'd do if you did that.
34:38Without it, I don't know that you'd pass anything because you can't deal with them.
34:41They're really irrational.
34:43They really are.
34:43But I was happy to see that a tremendous liability to this country, a woman that made herself rich
34:51in this country, Nancy Pelosi, has quit.
34:54And she'll be out of here pretty soon.
34:55I consider that to be a great asset for America, getting her out.
34:59Yeah, please go.
35:00Are you really going to deal with Democrats?
35:01You're not interested in this?
35:02I don't know.
35:03We'll see what they have.
35:04I mean, we'll see.
35:05But they're very destructive for the country.
35:07NBC, fake news.
35:08I'm not taking you.
35:09Go ahead.
35:09Senator, are you worried about a backfire in the future on Republicans?
35:13Should they get rid of the filibuster and then down the road?
35:16Well, you know, normally I would say, well, a little bit.
35:19But the reason that I'm not is because if they ever took over power, they'll do it.
35:24Look, Joe Manchin and Sinema are two people that are no longer in politics because of this issue.
35:31They were opposed to what the Democrats wanted to do.
35:35They wanted to terminate the filibuster.
35:37They were opposed to it.
35:38They're no longer in politics.
35:39They're gone.
35:40The Democrats will do this.
35:41So if the Democrats are going to do it, I'm saying Republicans should do it before they get a chance.
35:46It's very simple.
35:47And if we do it, we will never lose the midterms and we will never lose the general election because we will have produced so many different things for our people, for the people, for the country, that it would be impossible to lose an election.
36:00Are you worried about an AI bubble?
36:05No, I love AI.
36:06I think it's going to be very helpful.
36:08So many things are happening with it.
36:10And in addition to which, we're leading China.
36:13We're leading the world in AI.
36:15We're building massive electric plants that the companies themselves are building for their plant.
36:19I've given them the right because we need so much electricity for that.
36:23Just the word is electricity, believe it or not.
36:25Double the electricity that we currently have in the country for just the AI plants.
36:30And I've allowed those companies to rebuild and build electric plants along with their facility.
36:37We're getting approvals done in less than a month, sometimes in two weeks for massive, beautiful, massive buildings.
36:44And, no, I'm totally in favor of it.
36:47I think it's really going to be the wave of the future.
36:49And we're leading the world.
36:51We're leading everybody by a lot.
36:52How long do you think this right now?
36:54How long do you think the shutdown will last?
36:57I don't know.
36:58It's up to the Democrats.
37:00We voted.
37:00The Republicans have voted 14 times to open up the country.
37:04The Democrats have voted 14 times to hurt the country, really.
37:09They should approve it.
37:10But they might not.
37:12That's why I like the fact that we terminate the filibuster.
37:16If we terminate the filibuster, the country will be open within 10 minutes after that termination, because we'll take a second vote, which is the opening of the country, and the Republicans will vote to open the country.
37:27That's one of the reasons.
37:29Not the major reason, by the way.
37:30I think it's less important than the other things that we get.
37:33But if we terminate the filibuster, the second vote that we will take will be to open up the country.
37:40It'll take 10 minutes, and the country will be open.
37:42Is there any room for bipartisanship?
37:46Because it seems like that's the main purpose of the filibuster, to create some sort of compromise.
37:52Well, it didn't work, obviously.
37:54You're right.
37:55That was the purpose of the filibuster, bipartisanship.
37:58But that didn't work.
37:59So are you saying the next three years in Washington, there shouldn't be?
38:02Well, no.
38:03If the filibuster is terminated, we will have the most productive three years in the history of our country.
38:10If the filibuster is not terminated, then we will be in a slog with the Democrats,
38:16and very little for either party will be done.
38:19So it's a good thing.
38:20Thank you very much, everybody.
38:22Thank you very much.
