00:00Will there be more rollbacks in the future when you change anything else with tariffs?

00:07I don't think it would be necessary.

00:09We just had a little bit of a rollback on some foods, like coffee as an example,

00:14where the prices of coffee were a little bit high now.

00:16They'll be on the low side in a very short period now.

00:19We're very good at this.

00:21The problem is we inherited a country we took over January 20th

00:26where the prices were fully gross.

00:28So they were up 30, 40, 50 percent.

00:31And we got them down 30 percent.

00:33That means they're still higher than where they were.

00:36We had a great four years.

00:39And I think this is going to be even much better.

00:42And in terms of affordability, it's not a good word for the Democrats.

00:46It's a good word for us because our prices are much lower

00:49and will certainly be much, much lower than they were under the Democrats.

00:53Mr. President, Mr. President,

00:55Mr. President, my newspaper The Telegraph has led away an explosion.

00:58Mr. Are you The Telegraph?

00:59Mr. That's right.

01:00Mr. Oh, what a job you did.

01:01Mr. What a great job you did.

01:03Mr. Are you proud of yourselves?

01:05Mr. We've had a good couple of weeks.

01:06Mr. How did you catch BBC like that?

01:08Mr. We have good sources.

01:10Mr. Honestly, congratulations.

01:12You did a great service to a lot of countries, a lot of great human beings,

01:17if you want to know the truth, and exposing what big news is all about,

01:22what BBC did.

01:23Mr. Nobody would even think of a thing like that.

01:25Mr. They actually changed the words coming out of my mouth.

01:29Mr. So the BBC has apologized and retracted the report.

01:33Mr. They say they won't pay any compensation.

01:35Mr. Well, we'll sue them.

01:37Mr. We'll sue them for anywhere between a billion and five billion dollars,

01:40probably sometime next week.

01:42Mr. So you're ready to say...

01:43Mr. Well, I think I have to do it.

01:45Mr. I mean, they've even admitted that they cheated.

01:48Mr. Has that...

01:49Mr. I mean, not that they couldn't have not done that.

01:52Mr. They cheated.

01:53Mr. They changed the words coming out of my mouth.

01:55Mr. That's worse than what CBS did with commons.

01:58Mr. They changed your answer, but at least it showed real coming out of her mouth.

02:03Mr. Do you think it's appropriate that British TV viewers have to pay more than $200 just for a client to watch television?

02:10Mr. Do you think the license...

02:11Mr. Well, I don't know what they're doing in a place that I like a lot.

02:14Mr. The general UK, right?

02:17Mr. But the people of the UK are very angry about what happened, as you can imagine.

02:23Mr. Because it shows the BBC's big news was...

02:27Mr. You and I knew that for a long time.

02:29Mr. But we didn't know it was this week.

02:31Mr. Have you raised the issue with Sir Keir Starmer?

02:33Mr. I have not, but I'm going to call him over the weekend.

02:37He actually put a call in the bank.

02:39He's very embarrassed by it.

02:41You know, that's...

02:42I don't know what percentage is owned by the country.

02:45But regardless, if it's small or large or nothing, I can say this, the UK is very, very embarrassed by BBC what they did.

02:54Mr. Mr. President, you said that tariffs do not increase prices for consumers.

02:59But now you're a lower...

03:00Mr. I didn't say they don't.

03:01I say they may in some cases, but to a large extent, they've been borne by the country.

03:06As an example, we have virtually no inflation.

03:09And yet we've taken in hundreds of billions of dollars.

03:12So we've taken in hundreds of billions of dollars.

03:15We've used tariffs to stop wars.

03:18You look at India and Pakistan.

03:20Look at so many wars and stuff.

03:22Just by saying, I'm going to oppose tariffs.

03:24When you come to, you're going to have war.

03:26Mr. So tariffs are already increasing prices.

03:28Mr. Yeah, in that case, it was nuclear war.

03:30And I stopped it by using tariffs.

03:32But oftentimes, and to a large extent, the countries themselves pick up the tab.

03:38The companies pick up the tab.

03:41And I find that based on inflation, we have virtually no inflation.

03:46When I inherited the country from sleepy Joe Biden, the inflation...

03:51It was the highest inflation in the history of our country for at least 48 years.

03:57They used 48. I said it was the history.

04:00We have now a low inflation.

04:03Going to be very soon, even lower.

04:05But we'll get some of the prices down a little bit.

04:09Which will bring them down to a new low.

04:11How much of the time has been picked up by Americans?

04:14I think very little.

04:16I mean, I really think very little.

04:17If you look at it, and when you add the trillions of dollars that our country is making,

04:23when you add the fact that I'll be giving back $2,000 or so to middle-income people,

04:30low-income people, everybody but the rich will be giving $2,000 back.

04:35Can you add that in?

04:36When you add the fact that our country is extremely rich and we have no wars,

04:40and we'll respect it again.

04:42When you add the fact that when China was threatening to us in terms of rare earths,

04:46I was able to solve it just by putting tariffs through China,

04:50and we made a deal a week later.

04:52When you add all of the benefits,

04:54the single greatest thing we have right now is the use of tariffs,

04:58and I used them properly.

05:00For years they've been used against us,

05:03and I think, you know, whether you call them tariffs or anything else,

05:09if you didn't use them, you really would have an unguarded disaster against.

05:13Will those $2,000 payments, will that be inflationary?

05:17Because previously Republicans have said it's sending money to people,

05:20like in their money, which...

05:21Yeah, well the difference is this is money earned as opposed to money that was made up.

05:25You know, that money was made up.

05:27Biden gave, like, the Inflation Reduction Act, which did not reduce inflation,

05:32and it wasn't meant to, and they admitted it was a phony name.

05:36But they spent hundreds of billions of dollars for a bank deal

05:40called the Inflation Reduction Act.

05:42That was made up money.

05:44When I spend, when I pay people $2,000 each for low and moderate income and middle income people,

05:52everybody but the rich get this.

05:54That's not made up, that's real money.

05:56That comes from other countries, yeah.

05:58Speaking of China, since you made the deal, since you struck the deal,

06:01because the Chinese agreed to actually purchase any soybeans,

06:05if they locked in any soybeans.

06:07Yeah, and they're in the process of doing it.

06:09We spoke of them today.

06:10They're in the process of doing not only a little bit,

06:13but they'll be doing a lot of soybean purchase.

06:16Do you know when, in the spring?

06:18It's starting, before then.

06:20It's starting.

06:21They'll be buying a lot of soybeans, but really, Jennifer, a lot of everything else.

06:25Can you say who you spoke with or who your team spoke with?

06:29Top of the line.

06:31Top of the line.

06:32Top of the line.

06:33Top of the line.

06:37You can start making two little commodities.

06:38We're getting a lot of boats.

06:41We need to get a lot of them.

06:42We need to get them to get those two big stocks.

06:44You can start making a lot of boats.
