00:00Well, thank you very much, everybody.

00:04We have an extremely respected man in the

00:08Oval Office today and a friend of mine for a

00:10long time, a very good friend of mine.

00:12And I'm very proud of the job he's done.

00:16What he's done is incredible in terms of

00:18human rights and everything else.

00:20And he's the crown prince, the future king.

00:25And I just want to pay my greatest respect to

00:29your father, King, who is an amazing man.

00:32I met him early on.

00:34He greeted me at the airport at an age that was

00:36pretty high up there.

00:37And it was about 117 degrees.

00:39And he was standing on the red carpet as I came

00:41out of the plane.

00:43And he's amazing.

00:46And when I met his brilliant son, who was at

00:49the Oval Office shortly thereafter, you came in

00:53representing the country.

00:54And I called the father.

00:55I said, this guy is fantastic.

00:58And I don't know if that helped you or hurt you.

01:00But obviously, it couldn't have hurt too much.

01:02Because here you are, right?

01:04But we had a great meeting.

01:06And the office has changed quite a bit.

01:09And we inherited a mess.

01:11You actually told me you thought the country was in

01:13big trouble.

01:14I'm not going to use the exact word that you use.

01:16I refuse to say that you thought our country was

01:19dead a year and a half, two years ago.

01:22But a country was in trouble.

01:23And now we have the hottest country in the world.

01:25You said that also.

01:27And we do.

01:27We have the United States is right now the hottest

01:30country in the world.

01:31And between the tariffs and the election, November

01:355th election, we've done things that nobody can

01:39believe.

01:40Twenty-one trillion dollars will be the amount invested

01:44in the United States or committed to invest in one

01:48year.

01:49So I'm here nine months.

01:50We're up to almost 18 trillion dollars.

01:54Biden, as an example, the Biden administration, if you

01:56call it that, it's not to me.

01:58It was the Biden lack of administration.

02:02They were less than one trillion for four years.

02:05We're going to be 21 trillion for one year.

02:09I think that's hard to believe.

02:12The biggest in history was a certain country, 3 trillion.

02:17We're going to be 21 trillion.

02:18On top of that, prices are coming down.

02:20We inherited a mess with high prices, the worst

02:24inflation in the history of our country.

02:26We had inflation that was a single full four years, the

02:29worst inflation in the history of the United States, gas

02:33prices through the roof.

02:35And that's after destroying our petroleum reserve, which

02:39was meant for wars and big emergencies, not to try and

02:42win an election.

02:44They opened up the reserve so that people get three

02:47dollars, three dollars less in gasoline.

02:49And it didn't work.

02:50They got about three cents less because as big as those

02:53reserves are, they're peanuts when you're talking about

02:56that kind of traffic.

02:58And we're rebuilding the reserves.

03:00We're doing all of this and we've done a job.

03:03We're also bringing down prices very substantially and

03:05we've already brought them down very, very

03:07substantially.

03:08Gasoline is way down.

03:10I think you'll be seeing two dollar gasoline.

03:12But we're now at 250, 245.

03:15Some are lower than that.

03:17It was 450, $5, $6, 350, 375 under by all different

03:23numbers, but way high.

03:24And we have energy way down.

03:27But the biggest thing to me, because I know what it

03:30means in jobs, is the fact that we're at over 17

03:34trillion dollars, Scott, and we expect to be around 20,

03:3821 trillion dollars in one year.

03:40And that's many times bigger than in history.

03:43The highest number was $3 trillion.

03:47And we're going to be at 21 trillion.

03:48That means new plants, new AI, new auto plants.

03:52We have auto plants coming in from Canada, from Mexico,

03:55from Germany, from Japan.

03:58Toyota just agreed to invest $10 billion on new auto

04:01plants, all American workers.

04:05We've never been in a position like this.

04:07You can go back to the beginning.

04:10Our country has never been in a position like this.

04:13And it really is because of the fact that we use

04:16tariffs to bring all this money in.

04:19And you're going to see the results in a year when

04:20these plants start to open up.

04:22We have more plants under construction now than at

04:25any time in the history of our country.

04:27And these are big plants.

04:28These are the biggest plants anywhere in the world.

04:31And I want to thank you because you've agreed to

04:32invest $600 billion into the United States.

04:36And because he's my friend, he might make it a

04:38trillion, but I'm going to have to work on them.

04:41But it's 600, we can count on 600 billion, but that

04:46number could go up a little bit higher.

04:48Yes, sir.

04:49I don't know.

04:49We'll see.

04:50But we appreciate it very much.

04:53So Saudi is going to be investing at least $600

04:56billion, and that means investments in plants, in

04:59companies, money on Wall Street.

05:02And what it really means for everybody that really

05:06counts is jobs, a lot of jobs.

05:08We have a lot of jobs.

05:10So I just want to thank you.

05:11We've been really good friends for a long period

05:13of time.

05:13We've always been on the same side of every issue.

05:17I think we've done a great job in wiping out the

05:20nuclear capacity of Iran.

05:23Nobody else could have done that.

05:25No other President would have done it.

05:27We had the pilots in the Oval Office right here.

05:29We were celebrating a very successful attack.

05:32So I had them in with that beautiful B-2 bomber that's

05:35over there, and they said, sir, for 22 years, we

05:40practiced this attack.

05:42Our predecessors, these were very young guys.

05:45So 22 years, they said our predecessors and us

05:48practice the attack on Iran.

05:52But no President ever gave us the go ahead.

05:55Three times a year, they went out and they

05:57practiced the attack.

05:59Nobody let us do it until you came along.

06:01And I let them do it because it was the right

06:02thing to do.

06:03You can't have a nuclear Iran.

06:05And so we put you in a very good position.

06:07But I just want to say it's an honor to be your

06:09friend, and it's an honor that you're here.

06:12And if you'd like to say a few words, but thank you

06:14very much.

06:15The President Biden, thank you, Mr. President.

06:17This relation has been a relation for about nine

06:20decades, and we've been working together for a

06:23long time.

06:24But today, it's a very important time in our

06:28history because there is also a lot of things

06:30that we're working on in the future.

06:32We believe in the future of the United States of

06:34America.
