00:00We're trying to make sure that there's going to be and remain peace in the Middle East
00:04and Syria is a big part of it.
00:07The new leader is a strong person and that's what you need.
00:12This is a rough part of the world and we've, it's been amazing what's taken place in Syria.
00:20We got rid of Assad.
00:22We got rid of other people that were really bad people and that we're in the way of peace
00:26in the Middle East.
00:27We have legitimate peace in the Middle East, first time in 3,000 years.
00:32And we have 59 countries backing it.
00:35And we'll see what happens with Hamas.
00:38We'll see what happens with Hezbollah.
00:40But regardless, I mean, we have countries that want to go in and clean that out if we want
00:46them to do it.
00:47But they said in the case of Hamas, they said that they're going to disarm and we're going
00:51to find out whether or not that's true.
00:54Hezbollah in Lebanon has been a problem.
00:57We'll see what happens there.
00:58But there is legitimate large-scale peace in the Middle East.
01:03And if there weren't, we wouldn't have been able to make all of those deals that we've
01:07made with the various countries.
01:08They would have never been able to do that.
01:10If, for instance, if Iran, if we didn't, with that B-2 bomber right there on the desk,
01:16if we didn't, of which we just ordered a lot more of the newer version, totally stealth.
01:23They could not see it.
01:24They knew it was coming.
01:25They had no idea where it was.
01:26It was pretty amazing, actually.
01:28Every bomb hit its mark perfectly, despite CNN trying to say differently.
01:33They didn't know.
01:34They just, you know, hoped.
01:35They hoped that we didn't.
01:36But it turned out that they did.
01:38Atomic Energy Commission confirmed it.
01:40So did, actually, so did Iran confirm it.
01:43They got knocked to hell, but if we didn't knock out their nuclear capability, we would
01:48have never had peace in the Middle East, because you would have had a dark cloud hanging over
01:53Saudi Arabia, Qatar, UAE, and all the other countries, and they would have never, ever been
01:58able to sign an agreement.
01:59Yeah, please.
02:00How soon do you expect that international stabilization force to be up and running in Gaza?
02:06I think that it's — in a form, it's already running.
02:09In a very strong form, it's already.
02:11But it'll get stronger and stronger, and more and more countries are coming into it.
02:15They're already in.
02:16But they'll send — they'll send any number of troops that I ask them to send.
02:20They want to see peace.
02:22We have more than 59 countries.
02:24We have many countries that aren't even in the Middle East, but they're fairly close
02:28to the Middle East.
02:29They — they want to be involved.
02:31So, it's been pretty amazing.
02:32Friday?
02:33Mr. President.
02:34This week, a man named Keoni Rodriguez is going to federal prison for creating crypto-privacy
02:39software.
02:40The case was started under the Biden administration, but your DOJ — DOJ kept it going and secured
02:46the conviction.
02:47A lot of people in crypto are saying that this man should be pardoned.
02:50Are you familiar with the case at all, or would you be interested in looking at —
02:52I've heard about it, and I'll look at it.
02:54Why, you think you should be pardoned?
02:55The President.
02:56Sounds like it.
02:57Sounds like — based on your question.
02:58The President.
02:59The President.
03:00The President.
03:01The President.
03:02Rodriguez.
03:03We'll look at that, Pam.
03:04Okay?
03:05Let's take a look at it.
03:06You know?
03:07You'll have to tell me.
03:08I don't know anything about it, but we'll take a look.
03:09On Friday?
03:10Yeah, please.
03:11Mr. President.
03:12Market analysts are calling for a Santa rally.
03:14Typically, it's five trading days going into Christmas.
03:17And the first two trading days in January, that's a sign of market optimism.
03:20Do you anticipate, along with the historical low gas prices, is that continuing into the
03:25first quarter of the year?
03:26Well, we've had the greatest stock market in history, Brian.
03:28We have a stock market that's gone up 52 times to new highs during a 10-month period.
03:35My 10 months.
03:36You know, my first 10 months, we set a record — 52 days.
03:40We had the highest stock market in history, including a day ago.
03:45And I didn't look today.
03:47Maybe it's up today.
03:48I don't know.
03:49But we had 52 altogether.
03:52And there's never been anything like it.
03:55And the reason are the tariffs have brought vast amounts of wealth into our country.
04:01That countries that have taken our car companies — those car companies are all coming back.
04:07The AI is coming at levels that nobody's ever seen before.
04:10That's going to be a massive industry.
04:12Without the tariffs, we wouldn't have that.
04:15Chips are coming in.
04:17Chip companies are coming in from Taiwan and other places, but mostly from Taiwan, which
04:22has almost 100 percent of the market.
04:25And we're now making chips.
04:27And we're not paying anything.
04:29It's not the CHIPS Act, where they give billions of dollars to companies and then they just take
04:33the money and they run.
04:35That was under Biden.
04:37The fact that I set tariffs up and that if they don't make their chips here, they have
04:41to pay a big tariff in order to send them into the U.S.
04:44They have to be here.
04:45You know, tariffs really work, in my opinion, almost only in the United States.
04:51They've been used against us successfully because we had presidents that had no clue.
04:57But tariffs really work.
04:59We have taken in hundreds of billions of dollars with tariffs.
05:03And more importantly, we've taken in countries and companies where — and even countries — have
05:10sent their car-making people into the United States in order to avoid paying tariffs.
05:17And they'll build a plant and they'll hire our people to make the cars.
05:21But we now have — as you know, Toyota just approved $10 billion in manufacturing plants in
05:29the United States using our people.
05:31Without tariffs, none of that would have happened.
05:34Tariffs have given us great national security.
05:38There is nothing like what's happened in the last 10 months.
05:42Tariffs have given us tremendous national security and tremendous wealth.
05:51Tariffs have been great Carlo некоторernen in India that takes over 90 years before
