00:00The media post that you took down earlier today, the White House says that a staffer sent it.
00:06Who sent it and are you going to fire them?
00:08I looked at it. I saw it and I just looked at the first part.
00:12It was about voter fraud in someplace, Georgia.
00:16There was a lot of voter fraud, 2020 voter fraud, that I didn't see the whole thing.
00:20I guess during the end of it, there was some kind of a picture that people don't like.
00:27I wouldn't like it either, but I didn't see it.
00:29I looked at the first part and it was really about voter fraud and the machines, how crooked it is, how disgusting it is.
00:38Then I gave it to the people.
00:40Generally, they'd look at the whole thing, but I guess somebody didn't.
00:44They posted it and we took it down.
00:47But that was a voter fraud that nobody talks about.
00:50They don't like to talk about that post.
00:54We took it down as soon as we found out.
00:55Mr. President, a number of Republicans are calling on you to apologize for that post.
01:01Is that something you're going to do?
01:02No, I didn't make a mistake.
01:03I mean, I look at a lot of thousands of things.
01:06I looked at the beginning of it.
01:10It was fine.
01:12They had that one post.
01:13I guess it was a takeoff.
01:14By the way, a lot of people covered it.
01:16If you look at where it came from, I guess it was a takeoff on the Lion King.
01:22And certainly it was a very strong post in terms of voter fraud.
01:27Nobody knew that that was at the end.
01:29If they would have looked, they would have seen it.
01:31And probably they would have had the sense to take it down.
01:33But that was a takeoff on the Lion King.
01:35And a lot of people were covered in different positions.
01:42But I spoke to Tim Scott.
01:44He was great.
01:46Tim is a great guy.
01:47He understood that 100%.
01:48Go ahead.
01:50Mr. President, Steve Witkoff, Jared Kushner, met with Iran's foreign minister today.
01:56You also had Brad Cooper there, the head of CENTCOM.
01:58A deal doesn't look like it's been reached yet.
02:01How long are you willing to wait?
02:03It can be reached.
02:04Well, you have to get in position.
02:06We have plenty of time.
02:07If you remember Venezuela, we waited around for a while.
02:10And we're in no rush.
02:12We have, you know, very good talks going with Iran.
02:15We have very good talks going with Russia and Ukraine.
02:18We're doing a lot of good talking.
02:21And I think we had the results today were with Iran.
02:26It was a meeting.
02:27We're going to meet again early next week.
02:30And they want to make a deal.
02:31Iran, as they should want to make a deal.
02:34They know the consequences.
02:35If they don't make a deal, the consequences are very steep.
02:39So we'll see what happens.
02:40But they had a very good meeting with a very high representative of Iran.
02:47And we'll see how it all turns out.
02:50We'll give it a right scoop.
02:51By the way, I'd love to see that.
02:53If we could do that, I'd love to see it.
02:56Mr. President.
02:57With Iran, is there a deal that is acceptable that only covers...
03:01With Iran, is there a deal that only covers a nuclear that would be acceptable to you?
03:06Because they just want to have nuclear.
03:07They don't want to have anything else.
03:09It would be acceptable.
03:10But the one thing, and right up front, no nuclear weapons.
03:15If we could have made that deal two years ago, we would have made that deal.
03:18But they weren't willing to do that.
03:20Now they are willing to do it.
03:21So they're willing to do much more than they would have a year and a half ago.
03:27Or even a year ago when we've...
03:28Don't forget, we've only been doing this for exactly one year.
03:31And we started with them a few months after the beginning of this term.
03:36This term has been amazing.
03:38But the results could surprise people.
03:43If they would have offered this deal originally when we first started,
03:49it would have been accepted immediately.
03:50We'll see what happens.
03:51The many Americans who were offended by the video.
03:54You didn't want to tell us about this.
03:56I didn't know about it, so I mean, it went up.
03:58I really have no message.
03:59All I know is, here's my message,
04:01that our country has never been in a position like this.
04:05We were a laughingstock all over the world.
04:07And now we're a country that's respected more than we've ever been respected before.
04:11If you go back a year and a half ago, our country was a laughingstock.
04:16And now we're respected all over the world, like probably almost never before.
04:21I would say maybe like never before.
04:23And, you know, it's...
04:24If you look at it from an economic standpoint,
04:27when the king of Saudi Arabia said it, others said it,
04:30we were not a country that was even thought of as a country that was going to make it back.
04:37And in one year, we're the hottest country.
04:39We are right now the hottest country anywhere in the world.
04:43So that's my message.
