00:11Well, thank you very much. This was a meeting set up very proudly by us, having to do with voter
00:17integrity and mail-in ballots and stopping the massive cheating that's gone on. And so we're
00:25going to be signing an executive order. I believe it's foolproof. And maybe it'll be tested,
00:31maybe it won't. I think it's very obvious what's said. And I'll ask Will Scharf to start off,
00:36attorney, a great talent, a very brilliant young man, and if you could discuss it. And then I'm
00:42going to ask Howard Ludnick to say a few words, and then I'm going to sign it. And we'll take
00:46a
00:46couple of questions. Okay, thank you. Mr. President, as you said, you have in front of you an executive
00:50order that deals with a number of issues relating to election integrity. As you've consistently
00:56identified, two of the biggest problems we have with election integrity in this country
01:00are, one, inaccurate voter rolls that allow ineligible people to vote in various federal
01:05and state elections all over the country. And secondarily, you've consistently identified
01:10that vote by mail in this country has become rife with fraud. People returning ballots who
01:15aren't eligible to return ballots, ballots being sent to people who aren't confirmed to
01:21be eligible voters. So what this executive order is going to do is, one, we're going to
01:25take federal data. We're going to ensure that each state's election officials are provided
01:30with a comprehensive view of who the eligible voters in their jurisdiction actually are, allowing
01:36them to properly verify that everybody voting in their elections is legally able to vote. And
01:42then it orders the Postmaster General and the U.S. Postal Service to take bold new measures
01:48to verify that ballots both being sent to people are being sent to people who are eligible to
01:53vote, and then that ballots being returned are being properly returned by eligible voters only.
01:59And we believe that combined the measures in this executive order will help secure elections
02:03in the future and ensure that the many abuses of our election system in the past aren't repeated
02:08in future elections. Right. Howard? So the fundamentals of our democracy are built on voter integrity,
02:16right? We all need it. You've said it time and time again. It's a total agreement amongst everybody.
02:21So here's the idea. The states, right, run these elections. They will, if they want to use the U.S.
02:29mail, the U.S. Postal Service, they're going to get a code, a barcode from the U.S. Postal Service,
02:35and they're going to put that on the envelope, and we will have one envelope per vote. None of this
02:41time
02:41where we have no idea, there's no observers to mail, there's no envelopes, there's no certainty.
02:47That's all going to go away, and what the president is doing today is he's going to make sure that
02:52mail-in
02:52ballots are safe, secure, and accurate, and will have a clear distinction. If you voted by mail,
03:00you will have it on the envelope. Obviously not on the ballot, but on the envelope. So we will know
03:05a million mail-in ballots. There'll be a million envelopes, and you'll be able to know exactly,
03:11correctly, that citizens voted. And this came up with some great legal minds. They looked at the
03:18various documents and everything that was going on, because the cheating on mail-in voting is legendary.
03:24It's horrible what's going on. And it's very clearly covered, very, very clearly. So I think
03:31this will help a lot with elections. We'd like to have voter ID. We'd like to have proof of
03:37citizenship, and that'll be another subject for another time. We're working on that. You would
03:42think it would be easy. It's a 98 percent issue for Republicans. It's 86 percent. I think just came
03:48out of poll, and it's 86 percent with Republicans and Democrats, not leaders, because the leaders
03:54of the Democrats cheat. And the only people that don't want to do voter ID are people that cheat.
03:59There's no other reason for it. Proof of citizenship, they want to be able to cheat. There's no reason.
04:04They have all sorts of reasons, excuses, but it's all nonsense. They want to cheat. But the Democrats
04:10themselves are very high. It's a very positive, very good thing. The Democrat voters, the Democrat leaders,
04:17guys like Schumer, who are corrupt, they want to use it for cheating because their policy is so bad with
04:22think of their policy, open borders for everybody, where people pour into our country from countries
04:27all over the world. Think of that. You look at just take any issue, take anything. Everything they have
04:35is so crazy. But the fact that they don't want to sign voter ID is another issue. It's a big
04:40issue.
04:41The fact that they don't have proof of citizenship, that they want transgender for everybody,
04:47that they want men in women's sports. So the only way, they assume, the only way they can win is
04:54to
04:54cheat. When you have men in women's sports, it's fine. It's wonderful. By the way, I worked very hard
04:59with the Olympic Committee and got that terminated for the Olympics. Very nice. Now, girls won't have
05:04to get beat up in the boxing ring like they did last time, if you saw those fights, too. People
05:10that
05:10transitioned beat the hell out of everyone, out of other people, women. It was not a pretty sight to
05:17watch. So I worked very hard with the Olympic Committee and we were able to get that out. So
05:22the Olympics will not have men in women's sports. But these are the things that they vote on. And
05:28that's why we're having a problem with them. They don't want ice because they don't want people
05:32to be taken out of our country that are murderers, that are drug dealers, and that are people from
05:38mental institutions. They're criminally insane. These are not nice people. And it's amazing.
05:47It's not even believable. If you go back 12, 13, 15, 20 years, that we even have to bring
05:55up a separate age like there will be no transmutilation. We don't want any transgender mutilization of our
06:06children. We don't want to have people pouring into our country from other countries all over
06:11the world, where prisons are opened up. All over the world, they're opened up and they pour into our
06:16country. Murderers. 11,888 murderers. Think of that. We got many of them out. And by the way, Washington, D
06:27.C.
06:27just set a new record for safety. And I'm sure you know that. Because, Peter, when you walk down
06:32the street, you're not mugged lately. But it just, it's a very safe city now. We took great pains to
06:40make it that way. But it actually happened pretty quickly. Within three months, it was good. Within
06:44four months, it was very good. Within five months, it was great. Now it's better than it ever was. And
06:49so Washington, D.C. is now considered a very, very safe city. We removed almost 4,000 people,
06:55just so you understand. You know, an interesting stat is that 2 percent of the people create more than
07:0390 percent of the crime. And the good thing about that is when you get rid of 2 percent, it's
07:09not
07:09that many. You don't have a lot of crime. But Washington, D.C., we're very proud of. We're very
07:15proud of Memphis, Tennessee, and Louisiana. New Orleans is unbelievable. They're the safest.
07:21They just finished their Mardi Gras. They had the safest Mardi Gras in 58 years. The governor
07:29just called me. Jeff Landry just called me. He said, it's the safest Mardi Gras in 58 years
07:35because of us. And really, Chicago should call and say we'd like help. New York should call.
07:42They've had a lot of problems that we want help. Los Angeles should call and probably will.
07:48So I think they have to. Now, we're going to have to do something when it comes World Cup
07:52time. And we're going to have to force ourselves upon them, which we have the right to do, because
07:56we don't want to have any crime. We don't want to have any problems for the Olympics and the
07:59World Cup and even for 250. So with all of that, I'm very happy to be signing the voter integrity.
08:08And I think it's going to be really great. So if you don't mind, I will take some time and
08:13I'll make this signature absolutely perfect. So it looks very good.
08:17Good. So far, so good.
08:31Okay. So that's a big deal. Very proud of it. And I think, I don't know how it can be
08:38challenged.
08:38I'll probably challenge it. You may find a rogue judge. You've got a lot of rogue judges,
08:43very bad, bad people, very bad judges. But that's the only way that can be changed. And hopefully,
08:50well, we don't appeal if it is, but I don't, I don't see how anybody can challenge it.
08:55I don't see how they can challenge it. And remember, it's about voter integrity. We want to have
09:01honest voting in our country, because if you don't have honest voting, you can't have
09:06really a nation. If you want to know the truth, Howard, I'll give that to you.
09:09But do you have any questions, please?
09:12Yes. Mr. President, as you know, there's an issue right now with DHS not being funded.
09:18Co-Star is one of them, which is very important, especially with things going on with certain
09:22moves and here in our own country. You have the power to transfer control from the Department
09:30of Homeland Security to the Navy. Are you concerned about that?
09:33No, I have a lot of powers to do things and we use the powers where appropriate. Sometimes you
09:39don't have to use those powers. You know, they're a little severe. And then people accuse me of being
09:43a king. You see, the king, this is the new one. They tried, they've been trying for a long time,
09:51including four years where I was out of office watching how badly this country was run.
09:56But they've been trying for a long time. You know what they really are doing is they want to have
10:00people coming into our country. They want to have open borders. They want to have criminals
10:04coming into our country. They want to have people unchecked, unvetted, coming into our country that
10:09you can look at them and say, this is not good. And that's what happened. They allowed 25 million
10:15people into our country. Many of those people were criminals. Many of them were drug dealers and
10:20murderers and people that were let it let out of mental institutions, prison populations in some
10:27countries. The Congo, almost its entire prison population was allowed to come into the United
10:34States of America, the Congo. Many of the countries in South America, they emptied their prisons out
10:41into our country. This was under Biden. And nobody can tell me that's a good thing. And yet they haven't
10:46changed their ways because if they ever took power, they would open up the borders and they would let
10:51people pour in and destroy our country. So I have many powers, but I don't have to use them. I
10:56mean,
10:56only in severe cases. Yeah.
10:57Mr. President, thank you. If you were able to sign the executive order to pay the TSA agents,
11:05why not do the same for FEMA and other agencies within the Department of Homeland Security?
11:09Well, FEMA is different because FEMA, I really believe that it's fine, but I think it's very
11:14inefficient. I think, you know, we have smart governors. And one way to tell whether or not they're smart is
11:20how well they do. FEMA is a very expensive way of trying to put out a problem. But what I'd
11:28rather do
11:28is let the states do it and help them financially, but let the states do it. In other words,
11:34you'll have a hurricane in Florida and people will come from Alaska. They haven't been to Florida. By the
11:40time they get used to it, you know, problem can be solved. So I've never been a big fan of
11:44FEMA. I like
11:45to keep it local. I like to see governors and neighboring states help each other as opposed
11:50to FEMA. FEMA is very expensive and it really doesn't get the job done. You know, North Carolina,
11:56they did a terrible job until I became elected a second time. And I went and, you know, we had
12:02that
12:02tremendous water flood. It was a water hurricane that likes it, which nobody has seen. Land areas
12:08that never had lakes all of a sudden had lakes that you couldn't even get to it. And actually,
12:12we were helped by Elon Musk with the communication, with his great communication system that worked
12:17very well. We were very lucky, saved a lot of lives. But now I, we got to do things right.
12:25And if you don't do them right, we shouldn't do them at all. Yeah, please.
12:29Thank you, President Trump. After you said today that's the wrong war, even then soon the stock
12:34market closed much higher. Do you have thoughts on that? And also, a judge just ordered you to
12:39stop construction of the ballroom or are you planning to stop? Well, we'll appeal that.
12:43But it's not, I don't know, there's, it's basically, I mean, I wrote, I wrote a part of
12:49his opinion, but basically he's saying I need congressional approval. And he's so wrong.
12:57This is being financed privately. It's a donation that's being given by companies, very rich
13:04companies, very rich people. So that for 150 years, they've wanted a ballroom here. We're
13:10going to have the finest ballroom, I believe, anywhere in the world. And he said, we need
13:14congressional approval. Well, they don't get congressional approval from the White House.
13:18When they do things, they don't, especially when you don't, we didn't ask for any tax money.
13:22We have no tax, this is taxpayer free. We have no taxpayer putting up 10 cents. And
13:30I see right here, I just wrote it out. He said, we need congressional approval. Well,
13:34we built many things at the White House over the years. They don't get congressional approval
13:38when they build in the White House. It's totally separate. And especially when it's a donation.
13:44I mean, the ballroom is a donation. It's gotten great reviews. People love it. And presidents for
13:49150 years have wanted this ballroom to be built because when we have President Xi or other presidents
13:54or prime ministers coming, we have a big room. We have the East Room, which is very small. And
14:01he said, we need congressional approval. He also said, but this is positive for us.
14:06I'm allowed that, meaning we are allowed to continue building as necessary to, let's see,
14:17what is that? To cover the safety and security of the White House and its ground. So it says here
14:26very carefully, the safety and security have to be protected under the White House grounds. Well,
14:31that's what we're doing because everything's bulletproof glass, et cetera, et cetera,
14:35including the ballroom. And then it goes construction and all of the things necessary. It says
14:43personal safety of the president and his staff are a part of that. So it talks about that we're
14:50allowed to continue building. In other words, he put an order on and even that he gave 14 days. We
14:55don't need it because that's what we're doing. He's allowed to continue building as necessary.
15:01And when it talks about the safety and security of the White House and its grounds. So just so you
15:09know,
15:09I wrote some of the thing down. We have a drone proof roof and it talks about the president and
15:15his
15:15staff. Well, we're going to have a lot of bulletproof glass. The White House was built a long time ago.
15:21This has the highest level of, in fact, they call this graph, this grass, this, the glass,
15:31it's bulletproof and it's ballistic proof. It's very thick. It's like that. And it's going 45 feet high
15:40and every window is covered. Every door is covered. The roof is drone proof. We have secure air
15:47handling systems. You know, bad things happen in the air if you have bad people. We have bio defense
15:54all over. We have secure telecommunications and communications all over. We have bomb shelters
16:05that we're building. We have a hospital and very major medical facilities that we're building.
16:15We have all of these things. So that's called I'm allowed to continue building as necessary.
16:21So think of that for the safety of the president. So we have all these things. So on that, we're
16:28okay.
16:29Where he's totally wrong and he made, you know, a statement that's fine. But where are we at?
16:35I'll give you an example. You have right here, 300 to 400 million dollars, depending on finishes.
16:42If I use very expensive marble, if I use very expensive wall coatings, if I could bring it up to
16:49400.
16:50Otherwise, we're right now ahead of schedule. We're under budget. But depending on finishes,
16:56from 300 to 400 million dollars are being given by great people, people that you all know.
17:03Rich people, rich companies, big companies. They wanted to see this built because every president,
17:09literally for 150 years, has needed a space like this.
17:13Many of you have gone to the tent when we have a president of a big country or somebody being
17:18honored of great distinction.
17:20And they sit in a tent and if it rains, you get soaked because the grass gets wet here very
17:25fast.
17:25It's it's a very wet area. They used to call it a wetland, but I guess they don't do that
17:31for the White House.
17:31But it's essentially a wetland. And when it rains, you're in trouble.
17:35The water can go up to three to four inches over their shoes.
17:38It's not a good feeling for Prince.
17:41But who was Prince Charles, who will be who will be here next couple of weeks is King Charles, who's
17:48a great guy.
17:49We don't want him to sit in a pool of water.
17:52And they've been wanting this for 100, think of it, 150 years.
17:56And we're building it and it's covered perfectly.
17:59What's not covered perfectly is the fact that the judge said we need congressional approval.
18:05Many things have been built in the White House.
18:07They haven't gotten congressional approval, especially when the money is being not put up by the taxpayer.
18:12The taxpayer is not putting up a dime.
18:14This building was necessary for many years by the fact that I've built many ballrooms and I built many things
18:21and I know how to build.
18:22I'm not building the Federal Reserve where the guy's spending four billion dollars for a tiny little building, four billion
18:27dollars for the Federal Reserve building.
18:31That contractor is going to be one of the richest men anywhere in the world after he finishes the Federal
18:36Reserve.
18:36The man is totally incompetent.
18:39Jerome Too Late Powell is totally incompetent and he's got to get out of office pretty fast.
18:45He's doing a bad job, but he's also done a bad job in shepherding the construction in that building.
18:49But, you know, they ripped down a part of that building and it was a nice, they say it's one
18:53of the nicest buildings in Washington.
18:55They ripped it down.
18:57So, so we feel and we don't feel, we know that congressional approval is not necessary to put up a
19:05ballroom.
19:06And many things have been built on the site.
19:07They've never gotten congressional approval.
19:10And especially when the money is all put up.
19:14This is all donations by people that love our country, that love the White House and that feel it was
19:19very necessary.
19:20Yeah.
19:20Mr. President, a couple of questions for you on Iran.
19:23But first one affects Americans here on gas prices.
19:26Today they hit four dollars.
19:28We're four dollars, yeah.
19:30And we have a country that's not going to be throwing a nuclear weapon at us in six months.
19:34But Americans are feeling the effects in the interim.
19:36And they're also feeling a lot safer.
19:38What is the plan to bring them back down?
19:40All I have to do is leave Iran and we'll be doing that very soon.
19:44And they'll become tumbling down.
19:46And stock prices were up today almost to a record because they know two things.
19:54Number one, we have a safe country.
19:55We had to take a little detour because we had a madman named Khomeini who sadly is no longer with
20:02us.
20:03And we had regime change already.
20:05We've knocked out one regime.
20:06Then we knocked out the second regime.
20:08Now we have a group of people that's very, that are very different.
20:11They're much more reasonable.
20:12I think much more, much less radicalized.
20:15It's a, we've had regime change.
20:18We're dealing with people that are much more rational.
20:22And it's very, it's amazing what we've done.
20:25We had to make a little detour.
20:26So when the stock market broke all records just a few weeks ago, when it hit 50,000 on the
20:32Dow, 7,000 on the S&P,
20:35I said to the American people, it's time that we have to make a little detour because we have a
20:40madman that wants a nuclear weapon.
20:42And if we did not come out with a B-2 bomber, we would have a nuclear weapon right now.
20:46We would, it would have been used, it would have been used before this, before today.
20:50And you may not be standing there asking that question, okay?
20:53So I think we have a country that understands that.
20:57I see CNN did a poll and they talked about voters or MAGA voters.
21:01And my poll came out at 100%.
21:03Nobody, nobody covers that poll.
21:05They had another poll where it was at 92% approval.
21:08I think that the people understand it.
21:11We'll be leaving very soon and if France or some other country wants to get oil or gas, they'll go
21:20up through the strait and almost straight.
21:24They'll go right up there and they'll be able to fend for themselves.
21:27I think it'll be very safe, actually.
21:29But we have nothing to do with that.
21:31What happens to the strait, we're not going to have anything to do with because these countries, China, China will
21:37go up and they'll fuel up their beautiful ships and they'll leave and they'll take care of themselves.
21:42There's no reason for us to do it.
21:43But we hit them hard.
21:44We got rid of a lot of, a lot of the radicalized lunatics along the strait.
21:49But if they want something, but I would say that within two weeks, maybe two weeks, maybe three, we're hitting
21:56them very hard.
21:57Last night, we knocked out tremendous amounts of missile making facilities.
22:01We, as you probably read or wrote, we knocked out, excuse me.
22:06Pardon me to interrupt me.
22:08The U.S. will be gone or done with the war until three weeks?
22:10I think we're two or three weeks.
22:12We'll leave.
22:13There's no reason for us to do this.
22:15Look, problem with the strait, a guy can take a mine, drop it in the water and say, oh, it's
22:20unsafe.
22:21It's not like you're taking out an army or you're taking out a country or you don't.
22:25They can drop it.
22:26Or you can take a machine gun from the shore and shoot a little few bullets on a ship or
22:30maybe an over-the-shoulder missile, small missiles.
22:36That's not for us.
22:37That'll be for France.
22:39That'll be for whoever's using the strait.
22:41But I think when we leave, probably that's all cleared up.
22:44Today, I heard tremendous numbers of ships were sailing through.
22:48We're negotiating with them right now.
22:50They've been, again, we have had regime change.
22:53Now, regime change was not one of the things I had as a goal.
22:56I had one goal.
22:58They will have no nuclear weapon.
23:00And that goal has been attained.
23:01They will not have nuclear weapons.
23:04But we're finishing the job.
23:06And I think within maybe two weeks, maybe a couple of days longer to do the job.
23:12But we want to knock out every single thing they have.
23:14Now, it's possible that we'll make a deal before that because we'll hit bridges.
23:19And we've hit some.
23:20We'll hit some bridges.
23:21We've got a couple of nice bridges in mind.
23:24But if they come to the table, that'll be good.
23:27But it doesn't matter whether they come or not.
23:29We've set them back.
23:31It'll take 15 to 20 years for them to rebuild what we've done to them.
23:35They have no Navy.
23:37They have no military.
23:38They have no Air Force.
23:39They have no telecommunications.
23:41They have no anti-aircraft systems.
23:43They have no leaders.
23:45You know, their leaders are all gone.
23:46That's why we have regime change.
23:47We have nice new leaders.
23:49Peter.
23:49Thank you, President.
23:50Trump, you talked about how the ballroom needs to have a drone-proof roof.
23:55There have been drone swarms flying over sensitive military installations in the U.S. over the last couple of weeks.
24:02The reports are they don't look commercial and they can't be jammed.
24:06Is this another country's military?
24:08I don't think so.
24:09We have a great system of – do you notice that over the last four or five days you haven't
24:14seen very many drone hits, right?
24:15We have some unbelievable anti-drone weaponry that's incredible.
24:19But you want to have, like, for instance, the ballroom.
24:22We have a very powerful steel, very steel roof with other things in it.
24:27And you want to have, if you're building a building for security, like, just like his judge's opinion, you have
24:32to have security for the president and his staff.
24:35They have – you need heavy, strong ceilings.
24:39You need seriously thick, bulletproof, ballistic glass.
24:44And we have that – other buildings don't.
24:48You know, modern – fairly modern buildings don't have that.
24:51They have roofs that are weak and they have regular glass windows.
24:54There was this incident down at Barksdale, though, where apparently a whole swarm of drones for a couple hours was
25:00over the flight line.
25:01There's a lot of really important planes down there.
25:03Yeah.
25:04How concerned are you that this is – well, I'm not concerned.
25:07Yeah.
25:08I know about it.
25:10They've checked that out and they've gotten to the bottom of it.
25:14You know, you have a lot of people now that fly these things all over the place and we're coming
25:20down very hard on them.
25:22But we're able to take them out – militarily, we're able to take them out very easily.
25:26And a new thing is lasers.
25:28You know, the lasers are becoming very, very effective.
25:31You hit a drone and it melts in air.
25:33It's a beautiful thing to see.
25:35If it's coming at you, having a laser is a very nice thing.
25:38But we have – there are methods of defending against – I mean, the advantage from the standpoint of defense
25:45is they don't go very fast relative to a F-22, that plane right over there.
25:51They go very slow.
25:53They can be also shot out of the air by, you know, high-quality aircraft, which we have more than
25:57anybody ever had.
25:59And there was a viral video this week.
26:02I don't know if you saw it.
26:03Army helicopters hovering near Kid Rock's house in Nashville.
26:06Did you see that video?
26:07I didn't see it, no, but I'm sure they had a good time.
26:09Well, so the Army just said the crews of these helicopters have been suspended.
26:13What do you think of that?
26:14Well, it depends.
26:15Are they – well, they probably shouldn't have been doing it.
26:18Yes, you're not supposed to be playing games, right?
26:20But I'd take a look at it.
26:22They like Kid Rock.
26:23I like Kid Rock.
26:24Maybe they were trying to defend him.
26:25I don't know.
26:26Does Iran have to make a deal for the U.S. to end its operation in Iran?
26:31No.
26:32Have you spoken – and have you spoken directly?
26:34Iran doesn't have to make a deal, no.
26:36Yeah, I've spoken to a lot of people.
26:38It's a new regime.
26:40They are much more accessible.
26:43They are right.
26:44You know, they said, we have a present for you, Mr. President, out of respect.
26:49And they said, wait a minute, do you want me to answer the question?
26:51You're a fresh person, you know?
26:54We've had a lot of problems with you, haven't we?
26:57No, they don't.
26:58You asked me a question.
26:59No, they don't have to make a deal with me.
27:01When we feel that they are, for a long period of time, put into the Stone Ages, and they
27:08won't be able to come up with a nuclear weapon, then we'll leave.
27:13Whether we have a deal or not, it's irrelevant.
27:15Now, it's possible that we'll have a deal because they want to make a deal.
27:19They want to make a deal more than I want to make a deal.
27:22But in a fairly short period of time, we'll be finished.
27:25They will not be able to do a nuclear weapon for years.
27:28And when they already, maybe in a long time from now, able to do a nuclear weapon, you'll
27:36have a president that will be like me and that he will go there and he'll knock the hell
27:40out of them again because they cannot have a nuclear weapon.
27:43They are very radicalized people.
27:46They're very sick leaderships.
27:48And I will say, though, that the leadership we're dealing with now, with the new regime,
27:52because we have a new regime, and the new regime is much better than the past.
27:58Mr. President, the Iranian government threatened a bunch of U.S. companies today in the region,
28:04including Google, Apple.
28:06With what?
28:07What did they threaten them with?
28:09PB guns?
28:09Well, that's a good question.
28:10They don't have much left to threaten.
28:12My question for you is, are you...
28:13I don't know.
28:14I mean, what are they...
28:15You made a statement.
28:16What did they threaten them with?
28:17I don't know.
28:19Tell me, how did they threaten them?
28:21Well, all I know is that they threatened them, sir.
28:22What does that mean?
28:23Fair enough.
28:24He said something nasty.
28:26Is the government in touch with these companies?
28:29Are you helping to backstop them?
28:30You don't even know what the threat was.
28:32What was the threat?
28:33I haven't heard it.
28:34What was the threat?
28:35Did they say they're going to blow them up?
28:36They're going to hit them?
28:37You know what they're not going to do?
28:39They're not going to hit them with a nuclear weapon.
28:41Is it something you're concerned about, sir?
28:43No.
28:44Iran's IRGC issues and warning that they will target 18 U.S. technology companies if the
28:48U.S. continues targeted assassinations of Iranian leaders, beginning on April 1st.
28:53Those companies...
28:54Oh, really?
28:54...Navidia, Apple...
28:55Most of those people are dead already.
28:58Yeah, Peter?
28:58I got one.
28:59Your son Eric posted a photo of what will be the Trump presidential library.
29:04It's a huge skyscraper.
29:06In Miami?
29:07Is that all a library?
29:08What else is going in?
29:09Well, it's a library.
29:10It's a museum, a library.
29:11It's a presidential, but I wouldn't start it until I'm out of office.
29:15I don't believe in building libraries or museums.
29:18It's really like the Barack Hussein Obama one in Chicago.
29:22In not a good location, and it's a very unattractive building that's seriously late and seriously
29:28over budget.
29:30I think you're going to see a great one here, and it'll go up on time, on budget, best location
29:36in Miami.
29:37Best...
29:37They say it's the best block in Miami, and the state worked with us.
29:41Will people live in the floors?
29:42No, it's going to be most likely a hotel.
29:44You know, this concept could be office, but it's most likely going to be a hotel with a
29:49beautiful building underneath and a 747 Air Force One in the lobby, which is going to
29:55be a trick.
29:56And the Supreme Court tomorrow is going to hear arguments about your executive order trying
30:01to get rid of birthright citizenship.
30:04And I'm going.
30:05You're going to go to the Supreme Court tomorrow?
30:07I do believe it.
30:07And just sit there and listen.
30:08Because I have listened to this argument for so long, and this is not about Chinese billionaires
30:14or billionaires from other countries who all of a sudden have 75 children, or 59 children
30:20in one case, or 10 children, becoming American citizens.
30:24This was about slaves.
30:27And if you take a look, slaves, we're talking about slaves from the Civil War.
30:31And if you take a look at when it was filed, all of this legislation, all of this, everything
30:37having to do with birthright citizenship, it was at the end of the Civil War.
30:42The reason was it had to do with the babies of slaves and the protection of the babies of
30:49slaves.
30:49It didn't have to do with the protection of multi-millionaires and billionaires wanting
30:55to have their children get an American citizenship.
30:59It is the craziest thing I've ever seen.
31:01It's been so badly handled by legal people over the years.
31:05If you look at the original birthright citizenship papers, they all happened right after the
31:12Civil War.
31:13The reason was it had to do with the babies of slaves.
31:17And hopefully it's going to say, because our country is being scammed, we're getting all
31:23of these people, they're selling the rights to them, people are making a living, a big living,
31:27and getting hundreds of thousands and even millions of dollars from bringing people in
31:33and saying, congratulations, your whole family is going to be a citizen of the United States
31:39of America.
31:39That's not what it was for.
31:41It wasn't for billionaires bringing people in or family in.
31:44It was for the children of slaves.
31:48And what you really have to do, and I don't think the lawyers talk about it as much, look
31:54at when the Civil War ended and look at the date of when this was enacted.
32:00I did.
32:00Okay.
32:01Have you ever met a Supreme Court?
32:02Is this going to be the first time going into the Supreme Court?
32:04No, once before, the opening of the Supreme Court and the last administration.
32:08And which justices will you be listening for most closely?
32:12I love a few of them.
32:15I don't like some others.
32:17And you know, you say what you want, but you have the ones that were appointed by Barack
32:22Hussein Obama and Biden.
32:24I don't care how good your case is.
32:27You can have the greatest case ever.
32:29They're going to rule against you.
32:31They always do.
32:32And it's not supposed to be that way.
32:34Now, the Republicans tend to be very different.
32:39They want to show how honorable they are so a man can appoint them and they can rule against
32:44him.
32:44It's so proud of it.
32:45We're so proud we ruled against Trump.
32:47We're so proud.
32:48We're above it.
32:50But there are those that say that's wonderful and there are those that say they're so stupid.
32:57But the Democrats never fail at one thing.
33:02When Barack Hussein Obama or when Biden appoints somebody, they go along that line.
33:07You can have the greatest case in history.
33:11And almost, I guess I have to say almost, maybe I don't have to say it, almost without
33:18fail, those people, four of them, sometimes five of them, but four of them will vote against
33:27you.
33:27You don't have a chance.
33:28You don't have a chance.
33:29And that's not what the court system is.
33:32Now, the Republican appointees tend to go.
33:35And this has been long before me.
33:36This has been for many years.
33:39Some people would call it stupidity.
33:41Some people would call it disloyal.
33:43Some people would say they're right in doing it.
33:45And I don't mind being right.
33:46But the other side almost never does it.
33:49Almost.
33:50I think you could find maybe a couple of instances.
33:52Almost never does.
33:53When a Democrat appoints a judge, and I'm talking about judges, not just justices.
33:59You go before some of these Democrat judges in Washington, D.C., you don't have a chance.
34:07That's why I gave pardons to hundreds of people that were so badly treated, having to do with
34:14J6.
34:15Yeah?
34:16As President St. Merrill, next...
34:19Oh, do you have a question?
34:20Let's go.
34:21I didn't see you over there.
34:22Sorry.
34:22You've been so nice.
34:23Here we go.
34:24Now she's going to hit me with a bad one.
34:26Go ahead.
34:27On the Save America Act, Mr. President, do you still think it's going to pass?
34:31Were you signed?
34:31I don't know.
34:32It's the craziest thing.
34:33The Democrats are totally against it.
34:35Again, they're unified.
34:36I think maybe you would have Fetterman, who I have a lot of respect for.
34:40But the Democrats are unified against it.
34:44And you need Democrat votes.
34:46Unless you do something smart called the filibuster, terminate the filibuster, which they should do.
34:51Republicans should do that.
34:52But there are a couple of Republicans that maybe they're not so smart.
34:56Because the Democrats will do it on the first day in office.
34:59Maybe the first hour.
35:00It's a question.
35:01Will it be the first hour or the first day?
35:05So who can believe that a person...
35:09You can't even get it to the floor.
35:11That a person wouldn't vote for, think of it, for citizenship, proof of citizenship, for voter identification.
35:21And we also added one.
35:22We added mail-in ballots.
35:24Mail-in ballots with exceptions for the military, for people that are sick, people that are traveling, for the disabled.
35:31We have very generous exceptions.
35:34But who would believe that that would be possible not to get those things to vote for?
35:38And then we added best of Trump.
35:40We added no men and women's sports.
35:43Different subject, but we added that.
35:44And we said no transgender mutilization of our children.
35:48These are all 90, 95, maybe 98 in some cases.
35:55Maybe 99 in terms of those first two.
35:59If you talk about the first two, I think, you know, I think a 98, 99 percent voter identification, right?
36:08Wouldn't you think...
36:09Don't you think it's nice...
36:10With picture.
36:11Wouldn't you think it's nice...
36:13When the Democrats had their convention, I remember it so well,
36:18you had to have identification to get into the arena.
36:21And they had a card that was bigger than most of their chests.
36:25And it had everything.
36:26It had their picture.
36:28And if you didn't have that card, they threw you away.
36:32In New York City recently, we had big snowstorm.
36:36Mayor Mandemi had...
36:39He called out for people to shovel snow.
36:42But you had to give identification with picture.
36:47If you didn't have...
36:48And it wasn't one identification.
36:50You had to have two.
36:52So to shovel snow in New York City, you need identification.
36:55Double with picture.
36:57But to vote, which is maybe our most cherished thing, you don't need.
37:02They don't want voter ID, the Democrats, because they want to cheat.
37:06The problem is we need their votes.
37:08In order to get it, you need their votes.
37:10And look, they know their policy is so bad.
37:16They know that if they gave those votes, they might never win another election.
37:19So they're fighting like hell.
37:21They're actually fighting for their survival.
37:24Because their policy...
37:27The Republicans have great policy.
37:29Smart policy.
37:30Strong borders, low interest rates, low taxes.
37:34We just gave you the largest tax cut in history.
37:36All these great policies.
37:38You know, we want a strong military.
37:40Look at our military.
37:41We have the strongest military.
37:42Look what happened in Venezuela.
37:43It was so incredible.
37:46People said the greatest military maneuver they've ever seen.
37:49Look what's happening in Iran.
37:51We're just...
37:52I mean, we're totally unchecked.
37:55Everything's been bombed out.
37:57They have no anti-aircraft protection.
37:59They have no nothing.
38:01They don't have anything.
38:03Look at our military.
38:05The Democrats don't want that.
38:06And when I read the fake New York Times, you take a look at it, it's like, oh, they're putting
38:11up a good fight.
38:12They're not putting up a fight.
38:13They're not even shooting at us, okay?
38:14We have planes.
38:16Planes are just ruling the sky.
38:19We have airplanes.
38:21Those two.
38:23Those two.
38:24We have airplanes.
38:25Nice, right?
38:26Lincoln with a little modern touch.
38:28The great Benjamin Franklin with a little modern touch.
38:31But think of it.
38:33They are roaming the skies over to Rand.
38:36They're not even being shot at.
38:38Because their equipment's been totally decimated.
38:42They have nothing to shoot.
38:44We have...
38:45They have no Navy.
38:47They have no anything.
38:47And just think about this.
38:49They have no Navy.
38:50They have no military.
38:52They have no nothing.
38:53They're losing.
38:55They admit they're losing.
38:56They're begging to make a deal.
38:58And if you read the fake New York Times, a corrupt newspaper, where I'm suing them and I think I
39:03should do very well,
39:05but you would almost think, who's winning?
39:08It's so fraudulent.
39:10But just to finish up with the New York Times, if you read the New York Times prior to my
39:16election victory, including the first one,
39:20and the second one, too, I won three times.
39:23I won three times convincingly.
39:26But let's go to the third victory.
39:29If you read the New York Times, you would say, oh, Trump's going to lose.
39:33But I won in a landslide.
39:34I won the popular vote.
39:36I won the Electoral College in a massive number.
39:39Right?
39:40Massive.
39:40I won the counties.
39:43Eighty-six percent of the counties I won.
39:45All of these different things.
39:47Winning the popular vote for Republicans, you know, pretty amazing.
39:51But if you read the New York Times for months and months and months, you're hearing, oh, Trump, he's going
39:58so badly.
40:00We have to straighten out our media.
40:02The reason their circulation is way down.
40:04The New York Times circulation, you know, has gone way down.
40:08Washington Post is almost extinct.
40:11And the papers that are being dishonest, the papers generally, people don't believe the media.
40:19And to finish, I got 93 percent bad publicity.
40:24Some people say 97.
40:25But between 93 and 97.
40:27A person that gets 97 percent of bad stories, maybe Caroline's doing a poor job.
40:33I don't know.
40:34She's my represent.
40:36You're doing a terrible job.
40:37Should we keep her?
40:38I think we'll keep her.
40:39But I get 93 to 97 percent bad press.
40:43Fake press.
40:43All fake.
40:45I won in a landslide.
40:47When you get 93 to 97 bad stories, bad press, and you win in a landslide, you know what that
40:55says?
40:55People don't believe the press.
40:58And when people don't believe the press, that's a very bad thing for our country.
41:02And when you look at, let's say, the New York Times or the Washington Post, their stories are so fake.
41:07Wall Street Journal, too.
41:09A lot of bad stories.
41:10I don't know what happened to them, but they're bad.
41:13Their circulation went way down.
41:14Wall Street Journal.
41:15I don't know if you saw the numbers that came out yesterday.
41:18New York Times, way down.
41:19Wall Street Journal, way down.
41:21Washington Post, number one, way down.
41:24Because people don't believe them anymore.
41:26And until they get – it's not the paper.
41:28It's not the – it's that they have no credibility anymore, which is a very sad thing for our country.
41:34Thank you very much, everybody.
41:35Thank you very much.
41:37Thank you, President Trump.
41:38Thank you, President Trump.
41:39Thank you, President Trump.
41:42Thank you very much.
41:45Hey, Peter, can I do that?
41:47I don't think so.
41:48He said, I've got more questions for you than I did in this whole four years.
41:54Really?
41:55Good man.
41:55Good man.
41:56How's your father?
41:57Okay?
41:57He's doing great.
41:58He said, no doubt that that's just a – I mean, it's like –
42:02No maternity thing.
42:03There was no – there was no plan around that.
42:05Mom, it's 100%.
42:07Say hello to him.
42:08I will do.
42:09Any физical?
42:11quiseres to find out.
42:11Good you, ma'am.
