00:08The Atlanta Fed is predicting...
00:10an astounding 5.4 percent GDP.

00:37No!
00:38You may want to say something about...
00:40the large fleet of ships that's heading over to the Middle East.
00:45Well, Mr. President, you had to, like so many other Cabinet members have referenced...
00:50rebuild the perception of America, and at the Department of War that meant...
00:55re-establishing deterrents...
00:57what happened in Afghanistan, what happened in the Ukraine...
01:00that never would have occurred, what happened on October 7th in Israel...
01:03never would have happened under President Trump.
01:05So, as a result, we're having to rebuild how our enemies perceive us.
01:08And when President Trump said, we're not...
01:10not getting a nuclear...
01:11Iran, you won't have a nuclear bomb.
01:12He meant it.
01:13And we sent those B2s halfway around...
01:15the world, and they never noticed.
01:18When he said, we're not going to tolerate...
01:20trafficking drugs anymore in our hemisphere.
01:22We treat them like the Al-Qaeda of the Western Hemisphere.
01:25He meant it.
01:26And we're executing that.
01:27When you said, Mr. President, we're securing the border...
01:28the military was proud to do their part...
01:30the other side, Homeland Security, to do that.
01:32Same thing with Iran right now.
01:35We're ensuring that they have all the options to make a deal.
01:37They should not pursue nuclear capabilities...
01:40so we will be prepared to deliver whatever this President expects...
01:43of the War Department.
01:45What's your favorite part of the film first?
01:50Thank you very much.
01:51On Iran, Mr. President, have you had any conversations with...
01:53with Iran in the last few days?
01:55And are you planning on anything?
01:57I have had, and I am planning on it.
02:00We have a lot of very big, very powerful ships sailing to Iran right now.
02:05And it would be great if we didn't have to use them.
02:07Can you say what the message was that you shared with Iranians?
02:10I told them two things.
02:11Number one, no nuclear.
02:13And number two, stop killing...
02:15protesters.
02:16They're killing them by the thousands.
02:18You know, I stopped 800...
02:2037 hangings two weeks ago.
02:22But they're going to have to...
02:25do something.
02:26Nobody's seen anything like it.
02:30Mr. President.
02:31Thank you very much.
02:32Mr. President.
02:35Yes.
02:36In Iran, horrific...
02:40The crackdown on protesters has come at a heavy human cost.
02:45The EU already has sweeping sanctions in place.
02:48And today, ministers...
02:50agreed to designate Iran Revolutionary Guard as a terrorist.
02:55organization.
02:56This will put them on the same footing with Daesh, Hamas...
03:00Hezbollah, Al-Qaeda.
03:02Those who operate through terror...
03:05must be treated as terrorists.
03:08Ministers also imposed...
03:10sanctions on those responsible for the brutal crackdown of protests, including...
03:15the Minister of Interior.
03:16Repression cannot go unanswered.
03:20Beyond this, ministers adopted new sanctions on those involved in Iran...
03:25Iran's war support to Russia and expanded export controls.
03:30You've just taken the decision to designate the Iran Revolutionary Guard as...
03:35terrorists.
03:36Does this mean that the EU would back Donald Trump striking...
03:40the regime in Tehran with his armada?
03:47This means...
03:48This means...
03:49This decision means that...
03:50If we list them as a terrorist organization, then many member states have criminal
03:55ized any activity or interaction with the terrorist organization.
04:00That puts more pressure on this.
04:05If it comes to attacks, then I think the region does not need a new war.
04:10Have a good evening.
