00:00And I think we came to a lot of conclusion, a lot of conclusion and conclusions.
00:07And there's very little difference in what we're looking at and where we want to be,
00:15where we want to go.
00:18And so I just want to thank you for spending time.
00:21I know you're going to be over here for a couple of days and maybe we'll be surprising
00:26us on New Year's Eve.
00:27That will be fine.
00:29And it's wonderful seeing you and Sarah and your whole group.
00:32Very talented group.
00:34We've done very good work together and it'll continue.
00:37So thank you very much, baby.
00:40Thank you very much.
00:41Thank you, Mr. President.
00:44Iraq.
00:45And all of a sudden Iran had the whole Middle East all to itself.
00:49Well, President Trump has broken so many conventions to the surprise of people.
00:56And then they figure out, oh, well, maybe, you know, he was right after all.
00:59So we decided to break a convention, too, or create a new one.
01:03And that is to award the Israel Prize, which in almost our 80 years, we've never awarded
01:09it to a non-Israeli.
01:11And we're going to award it this year to President Trump.
01:15This was announced formally over lunch by our Minister of Education, who's responsible for
01:23the Israel Prize.
01:24It's going to be awarded to President Donald J. Trump for his tremendous contributions to
01:29Israel and the Jewish people.
01:31Well, we talked about Hamas and we talked about disarmament.
01:42And they're going to be given a very short period of time to disarm.
01:46And we'll see how that works out.
01:48Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner will be in charge of that from our side.
01:55But if they don't disarm, as they agreed to do, they agreed to it, and then they'll be
02:01held to pay for them.
02:04And we don't want that.
02:05We're not looking for that.
02:06But they have to disarm within a fairly short period of time.
02:10The President of the United States, he said $4 billion more.
02:13It's going to end up costing more than $4 billion.
02:15$4 billion.
02:16Well, we have had a discussion, big discussion for a long time on the West Bank.
02:22And I wouldn't say we agree on the West Bank 100 percent, but we will come to a conclusion
02:28on the West Bank.
02:29If I could ask, what is the disagreement?
02:30Well, I don't want to do that.
02:32It'll be announced at an appropriate time.
02:34But he will do the right thing.
02:36I know that.
02:37I know him very well.
02:38He will do the right thing.
02:39In the Middle East, it was a mistake.
02:41You know, when they wiped out Iraq.
02:43Iraq and Iran were bailed.
02:44Well, I know President Erdogan very well.
02:47And as you all know, he's a very good friend of mine.
02:50And I believe that — and I do respect him, and Bibi respects him.
02:56And they're not going to have a problem.
02:58They're not going to have a problem.
03:00I know him very well.
03:02And you've seen me do things with President Erdogan and Turkey that nobody else could have
03:06done.
03:07We're not going to have a problem.
03:10He's done a fantastic job.
03:11I'm with him all the way.
03:13I'm with Bibi all the way.
03:15Nothing's going to happen.
03:17But those people aren't doing so well, though Saudi Arabia's been —
03:21Well, I'm not concerned about anything that Israel's doing.
03:24I'm concerned about what other people are doing or maybe aren't doing.
03:29But I'm not concerned.
03:30They've lived up to the plan.
03:32They're strong.
03:33They're solid.
03:36And sometimes they don't understand when somebody violates something that you want
03:40to give them a second chance.
03:41We'll give them a couple of second chances.
03:43But no, Israel's lived up to the plan, 100 percent.
03:47...ahead of you is to pick a new chairman for the Fed.
03:51Yeah.
03:52You've said that you have —
