00:00We are aggressively dismantling Iran's defense industrial base and ability to rebuild its missiles and drone capability is getting down
00:09to close to zero.
00:11In the Strait of Hormuz, with more than 30 mine-laying ships destroyed, we hit, to the best of our
00:19knowledge, all of their mine-laying ships.
00:21Now they can put them on other types of ships, I guess, and drop them in.
00:24We've hit all 30 of their ships and destroyed them. They're all at the bottom of the sea.
00:30We are aggressively dismantling Iran's defense industrial base and ability to rebuild its missiles and drone capability is getting down
00:39to close to zero.
00:41And we're hammering their capacity to threaten commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz with more than 30 mine-laying
00:50ships destroyed.
00:51We hit, to the best of our knowledge, all of their mine-laying ships.
00:56Now they can put them on other types of ships, I guess, and drop them in.
00:59But we don't know that any have even been dropped in. We're not sure that any have been.
01:03That's a big negative for them if they do it. It's a form of suicide.
01:08But we don't know that they have dropped any in.
01:11But we've hit all 30 of their ships and destroyed them. They're all at the bottom of the sea.
01:17We strongly encourage other nations whose economies depend on the Strait far more than ours.
01:24You know, we get less than 1% of our oil from the Strait.
01:28And some countries get much more. Japan gets 95%.
01:33China gets 90%. Many of the Europeans get quite a bit.
01:38South Korea gets 35%.
01:41So we want them to come and help us with the Strait.
01:46We have it in very good shape.
01:48The countries, I said, we've already taken care of Iran.
01:51But now, because of the fact that literally a single terrorist can put something in the water or shoot something
01:58or shoot a missile, a small missile,
02:00and it's fairly close range because it is a tight area, which is one of the reasons they've always used
02:08that as a weapon.
02:09Iran has always used that as an economic weapon.
02:13And it's not going to be able to be used very long.
02:18Numerous countries have told me they're on the way.
02:22Some are very enthusiastic about it, and some are.
02:26And some are countries that we've helped for many, many years.
02:28We've protected them from horrible outside sources, and they weren't that enthusiastic.
02:38And the level of enthusiasm matters to me.
02:43We have some countries where we have 45,000 soldiers, great soldiers, protecting them from harm's way.
02:51And we have done a great job.
02:55And we want to know, do you have any minesweepers?
02:59Well, we'd rather not get involved, sir.
03:03I said, you mean for 40 years we're protecting you, and you don't want to get involved in something that
03:08is very minor?
03:09Very few shots are going to be taken because they don't have many shots left.
03:13But they said, we'd rather not get involved.
03:17I just want the fake news media and everybody else to remember that that was said because when, you know,
03:26I've been a big critic of all of the protecting of countries because I know that we'll protect them.
03:33And if ever needed, if we ever needed help, they won't be there for us.
03:38I've just known that for a long period of time, just like I knew about the strait, that it would
03:44be a weapon, which I predicted a long time ago, predicted all of this stuff.
03:48You guys were very generous in that.
03:50I predicted all of it.
03:51Have you been speaking with the French President Macron about the coalition to reopen the strait of Hormuz?
03:57Yeah, I have.
03:58I have spoken to him.
04:00He's been on a scale of zero to ten.
04:05I'd say he's been an eight.
04:07Not perfect.
04:09But it's France.
04:12Are you confident?
04:12We don't expect perfect.
04:14Are you confident that France will help with the reopening of the strait of Hormuz?
04:19Yeah, I mean, sure.
04:20He's going to I think he's going to help.
04:22I mean, I'll let you know.
04:24I spoke to him yesterday.
04:26I don't do a hard sell on them because my attitude is we don't need anybody.
04:33We're the strongest nation in the world.
04:35We have the strongest military by far in the world.
04:38We don't need them.
04:40But it's interesting.
04:41I'm almost doing it in some cases not because we need them, but because I want to find out how
04:45they react.
04:46Because I've been saying for years that if we ever did need them, they won't be there.
04:50Not all of them, but they won't be there.
04:52I was very surprised with the United Kingdom because the United Kingdom, two weeks ago, I said, why don't you
04:59send some ships over?
05:00And he really didn't want to do it.
05:03I said, you don't want to do it.
05:04I said, we've been with you.
05:05You're our oldest ally.
05:07And we spend a lot of money on, you know, NATO and all of these things to protect you.
05:13I mean, we're protecting them.
05:15We're working with them on Ukraine.
05:16Ukraine's thousands of miles away, separated by a vast ocean.
05:21We don't have to do that.
05:22But we did it.
05:23Well, Biden did it.
05:24I mean, I have to be honest with you.
05:25It's three.
05:26Biden got taken to the cleaners.
05:29But we worked with them in Ukraine.
05:31We don't need to work with them in Ukraine.
05:33And then they tell us that we have a mind chip around and they don't want to do it.
05:39I think it's I think it's terrible.
05:41No, I would.
05:42I was very surprised.
05:43I told him, you know, we requested two aircraft carriers, which they had.
05:48And he didn't really want to do it.
05:51And then right after the war essentially ended, you know, meaning they were obliterated.
05:56He said, I would like to send the aircraft carriers.
06:00I said, I don't need them after the war has ended and won.
06:04I need it before the war.
06:05So I was very upset with not upset.
06:08I was I was not happy with the UK.
06:12I think they'll be involved.
06:14Yeah, maybe.
06:14But they should be involved enthusiastically.
06:17We've been protecting these countries for years with NATO because NATO is us.
06:22You can ask Putin.
06:24Putin fears us.
06:25He doesn't fear.
06:26He has no fear of Europe whatsoever.
06:29He fears the United States of America and the military that was built by me in the first term.
