00:00A job that nobody's ever seen anything like it.
00:03It was a good idea we came up with.
00:04And we're doing a sealer and then some very intricate
00:09work with modern materials.
00:11And it's going to look better than it did in 1922
00:14when it was built.
00:15It was built in 1922, and it had granite pavers.
00:20It was granite, various materials on top.
00:23The size is very, it's almost, I guess it's over
00:272,000 feet, 2,400 feet long.
00:30That's taller than any building in the world if you lay it on its side.
00:34And very big.
00:36The surface was bad.
00:38The leaking was bad.
00:39These workers are the most fantastic people.
00:41You know, Doug Burgum, he's in charge of it.
00:44He's the head of interior and done a great job.
00:47And I was getting complaints from people saying that it wasn't good.
00:52This is a number of months ago.
00:53And I called Doug, and he agreed.
00:55They spent a fortune.
00:58President Obama spent $38 million, closed it for two and a half years.
01:03It was a construction nightmare, a construction mess.
01:06When they opened it, it didn't work.
01:08And it leaked.
01:09It was a disaster.
01:11And, but I knew how to build.
01:14And we worked with Doug and interior and parks.
01:17And these guys have been fantastic.
01:20So we're putting a beautiful surface on.
01:22It's called the coloring is, it's like a swimming pool, but industrial strength, much stronger.
01:28And I think you're going to see something that's amazing.
01:31Very interesting is we took all of the, they took 12 garbage trucks full of garbage that
01:39was under the water that people didn't see, but they knew it was there.
01:43It was a real mess.
01:44And you're going to have basically industrial strength.
01:48It's going to last, I would say, 50 years.
01:50It'll last.
01:51It's going to last a long time.
01:53And you'll have no leak, guaranteed no leak.
01:56And it's going to be something very special.
01:58And it's going to be a beautiful color.
02:00The problem, the color was never good because basically it had a gray stone underneath, whether
02:04it was the concrete or the granite, it was a gray stone.
02:08And now we actually picked the color, it was called American flag blue.
02:13And so you can't do better than that.
02:16And so we had estimates to fix it of about $355 million, and it was going to take three
02:25and a half years, you can see by the size of it.
02:28And so we're going to be able to do it for about a million eight, 1.8 million, and it's
02:33going to take one week.
02:35And we'll be finished, I guess, I'm going to give them a little more time.
02:39Let's give it two weeks, but we're pretty much, a lot of the hard work is done.
02:43The beautiful work is now, the application is really the fun.
02:48The sidewalk surfaces, they're fixing that too, they're having it re-pointed, re-fixed.
02:52It's going to be like, actually much better than new.
02:55It's much more beautiful than it was new because it never had the color people wanted, but now
03:01it's going to have the great color.
03:02So it's going to be good.
03:03It's going to last many, many years, and it's going to have no leaks, it's going
03:07to have no problems, it's going to be clean and beautiful.
03:10And I want to thank Doug Burgum, the job he's done.
03:12And we're working on some other jobs that are great.
03:15We're working on a, you know, the back terrace of the Lincoln Memorial.
03:20That was supposed to be the main entrance, but they built two roadways behind it.
03:26So nobody ever, it never had access to the Potomac.
03:30And we're working on that.
03:32We have a beautiful plan for that, the Lincoln Memorial.
03:36And we have other things.
03:38Also, I guess you want to talk about what you're most proud of is underneath the Lincoln Memorial.
03:43Do you want to discuss that?
03:45Well, underneath the Lincoln Memorial, it's built on essentially arches or stilts like a cathedral.
03:51So there's an undercroft 80 feet high that's only been filled with junk and graffiti from back when it was
03:57built in 1922.
03:58This summer, there's been a long vision, but with President Trump's leadership and support of donors, they're opening an undercroft
04:06museum,
04:06which will tell a great story, hold great documents, coming as part of the 250th anniversary.
04:11So 15,000 of the 50,000, there's a 50,000-foot cavern underneath the Lincoln, 15,000 will be
04:18opening as a new museum on June 23rd of this year as part of Freedom 250.
04:23And again, we've never had a president like President Trump who's cared more, invested more, or put more time and
04:29attention into everything about them all.
04:31When he drives around, if he sees something, he calls us.
04:34We call the amazing National Park Service.
04:36They're on it.
04:37They fix it up.
04:38That's why we're fixing over 19 fountains around the city.
04:41That's why we've eliminated over 1,000 graffiti sites under President Trump's leadership.
04:46We've taken care of 82 homeless camps that were in the city when he was elected, making D.C. safe
04:51and beautiful.
04:52Crime is down.
04:53Beauty is up.
04:54All because of President Trump's leadership.
04:56So a very big thank you, Doug.
04:58Great job.
04:59Your people are fantastic.
05:00The whole Department of Interior, the parks, it's been amazing.
05:04And the police.
05:05Yes.
05:06The police have been incredible.
05:07You know, we have a very safe city now.
05:10We didn't have a safe city when I first took second term.
05:14It was a disaster what happened.
05:15And we now have a very safe city.
05:18People walk around.
05:19They love it.
05:20Frankly, doing this would be no good if we didn't have a safe city.
05:23But the crime, I think it's down about 88 percent, something like that.
05:27And Memphis, too.
05:29And if you go down to New Orleans, we spent, I guess we're in the fourth month, fifth month.
05:38And we have it down about 78 percent.
05:40It's going down to 90 percent.
05:41Memphis is way down.
05:43But D.C., I don't know.
05:44It's like, it's the capital.
05:45And we had a very, very terrible crime right here.
05:50And it's down now.
05:51We're going to have it down.
05:52I think we'll get it above 92 percent down.
05:56We took 5,000 career criminals, people that were really, really bad.
06:01They came through the open border.
06:03I'm sure you guys love open borders.
06:05I don't think so.
06:06But they came through on the open borders.
06:08They came out of prisons and mental institutions.
06:10And they came all over the place.
06:12And it is horrible what happened.
06:14And they allowed this to happen to our country.
06:17But we got them out.
06:18And we had 11,888 murderers allowed into our country.
06:23We got them out.
06:25We got many of them out.
06:26We're looking for quite a few.
06:28But we got many of them out.
06:29And the crime rate is, as you know, the murder rate,
06:33the country is down to the lowest it's ever.
06:36It's down to, in 1900, 125 years.
06:39Lowest in recorded history.
06:41And that's good.
06:43So we're very happy about that.
06:45And that goes hand-in-hand with fixing things up.
06:47So, as Doug said, 19 or a lot of founders.
06:51About 19, maybe more than that.
06:53Lafayette Park is beautiful.
06:55I made that contribution.
06:56It's a pretty significant contribution.
06:59And Lafayette Park is being rebuilt.
07:01We have tremendous amounts of things going on around Lincoln.
07:05I think, to me, the most exciting of all is going to be the Triumphal Arc.
07:09We're going to build one of the most beautiful arcs in the world.
07:13If you look at Paris.
07:14In Paris, they have the Arc to Triumph as their number one tourist attraction.
07:21Even more so than the Eiffel Tower.
07:23And we're going to have one that's more grand.
07:26Even more grand.
07:26Because that's one of my — I would say that's the best right now.
07:30There are 59 Triumphal Arcs throughout the world.
07:33And this will be number 60.
07:36And many of them are very old.
07:38Some are 600, 700 years old.
07:40And they represented triumph.
07:43Usually a victory, a military victory.
07:47But we are going to have one that's going to be, I think, superior to anybody else's.
07:52It's going to be a little bit larger.
07:55And I think a lot more beautiful.
07:57So — and that's going to start, I would say, very soon.
07:59This — it was supposed to be built.
08:03You know, the circle by the bridge, by the — by the river.
08:07It's going to be — I think it's going to be something that will be so special.
08:11It's been there for — it's been there like that.
08:13It used to be a dirt path.
08:15And it wasn't built because of the Civil War.
08:17Civil War got in the way.
08:19The Eagles are up.
08:20They were built later.
08:21But the Eagles are up.
08:22But they haven't been — it hasn't been built.
08:25And people, a lot of times, they'll be going over the river, the bridge,
08:29and they'll be saying, why isn't this built?
08:32And they've been saying that for way over a hundred years.
08:35So you're going to have something built there.
08:38So we're really fixing up Washington, D.C., on a bigger front — even bigger front worldwide.
08:44Our military is unbelievable.
08:46They're doing an unbelievable job.
08:49We're negotiating with the Iranians.
08:53We have — you probably heard — we took our three destroyers,
08:57and we rammed them through some pretty big stuff today,
09:01and we knocked the hell out of them.
09:03The destroyers weren't hurt in any way.
09:06The people weren't hurt, but they were firing at us,
09:09and we were firing back at them.
09:11And our firepower was a hell of a lot stronger than theirs,
09:14and they knocked the hell out of them.
09:16They took down a lot of small boats.
09:18You know, we call them small boats or fast boats.
09:21They're both small and they're fast, with some weaponry on the front.
09:25You know, this is what — so they — this is now replacing the Navy.
09:31They had a Navy — 159 boats.
09:34They have none.
09:35Okay?
09:36They're all at the bottom of the sea.
09:37So they replaced that with what they call the fast boat.
09:40It's a fast boat.
09:41Big deal.
09:41It's fast.
09:42Got a machine gunner in front.
09:44They've been knocked down.
09:45They knocked out quite a few of them today.
09:47Today, they knocked out eight — the average eight a day.
09:50This is some group of people we're dealing with.
09:53So, you know, it's very simple.
09:56Somebody said, what's your plan?
09:57I said, the plan is very simple.
09:59Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon.
10:01It cannot have a nuclear bomb.
10:04And it's not going to have.
10:05And they're really at the end of the line.
10:09They really are at the end of the line.
10:11Now, unless you guys feel differently.
10:13Now, these guys, I think, will say that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon.
10:18Would you say we wouldn't feel very good if they did?
10:21Because it's what you're doing and all the work that you do and that we do,
10:24it wouldn't look too very good after a while with these characters.
10:28We're not going to give them the right to have a nuclear weapon.
10:32There's zero chance.
10:34And they know that.
10:35And they've agreed to that.
10:37Let's see if they are willing to sign it.
10:40So, do you have any questions, Liz?
10:41Mr. President, can you talk about your meeting with President Lula earlier?
10:45Or was there anything you agree about?
10:46The President Lula earlier?
10:46Yeah, I will talk about it.
10:48But, you know, you have some of these construction workers that I love.
10:50I love because they all voted for me.
10:52I would say 100 percent or 99.
10:55I think about 100.
10:58Can we get those guys over here so they're not standing?
11:01There they are.
11:03I'll show you over there.
11:04There's no way I'm leaving you out there, fellas.
11:06So, who didn't vote for Trump?
11:08Anybody?
11:09Huh?
11:12We're from Oklahoma, sir.
11:13I would say that's right.
11:14We're from Oklahoma.
11:15We love you guys.
11:17We just said, you agree, Iran cannot have —
11:20Yes, sir.
11:20I love that guy.
11:21Did you know they're —
11:23Are you from Oklahoma?
11:24Yes, sir.
11:25So, Trump won Oklahoma 77 counties.
11:29Yes, sir.
11:29I won all 77, right?
11:32I won it in a landslide, like the election.
11:34But you know who's second was?
11:36Ronald Reagan was at 56.
11:38I was at 77.
11:39And by the way, you have a very good basketball team.
11:42Yes, sir.
11:43I can't be serious because I was watching the other night.
11:46But I may try and come to one of those games.
11:48I like your basketball team.
11:50These guys are fantastic.
11:51So, they're doing the job.
11:52They're working hard.
11:54And does anybody think Iran should have a nuclear weapon
11:57so they can blow you?
11:58No.
12:00It's a very important thing that we're doing, right?
12:03Yes, sir.
12:03And oil is coming down.
12:05And the stock market today just hit an all-time high.
12:08You know, I was reading about doom and gloom.
12:10We had to do — we had to do what we did.
12:14We took a little U-turn.
12:15We just hit the highest number in the history of our country,
12:18the stock market.
12:19And I said to my people, we're going to have to take a little U-turn
12:23and go to the lovely country of Iran and blow them up a little bit
12:28because you're not going to have enough to do with them.
12:30And then we're not going to ruin you.
12:33These guys work so hard to make things beautiful.
12:36We're not going to let a nuclear weapon ruin them.
12:38So, thank you.
12:41Are you all from Oklahoma?
12:42Yes, sir.
12:43How did that work out?
12:45They wanted super quality, right?
12:47That's right.
12:48We bring quality.
12:49Oklahoma brings quality.
12:50We love it.
12:51He's doing a good job, Mark Wayne.
12:52You know, Mark Wayne could have been a senator for the rest of his life.
12:56It maybe could have been president.
12:57Who the hell knows?
12:59I don't recommend it.
13:02But he was your senator and he wanted to do this.
13:05He wanted to work with the men.
13:06And Tom Holman, who I'm sure you never heard of.
13:09But he's got a job.
13:10So, Tom, how good a president is Tom?
13:15I've been as president in my lifetime.
13:17Yes, sir.
13:18I've got a question.
13:19I've got a question.
13:20Are you all legal?
13:22Yes, sir.
13:23Yes.
13:24Thank you, sir.
13:25Actually, from Oklahoma, the answer is probably yes.
13:27It is, sir.
13:29Yes, sir.
13:30Talk to all.
13:31So, are you here pretty much until this gets finished?
13:34Yes, sir.
13:34Absolutely.
13:35Are you with the company, with the contract?
13:37I'm with those two men behind you, yes, sir.
13:39That's good.
13:39You've got a good-looking crew back there, fellas, huh?
13:41Yep.
13:42Thank you, sir.
13:43I'm from Oklahoma.
13:43The Press.
13:43The President.
13:44The President.
13:45The Press.
13:46The President.
13:46The President.
13:48You know why?
13:49Because I want to keep our country beautiful and safe.
13:53Beautiful also.
13:54This place was a disgusting place.
13:58It was Washington Monument, the Lincoln Memorial.
14:03And we had a terrible disgust — I don't know.
14:07You probably don't see dirt, but I do.
14:09And you walk down this pond — if you were to walk down,
14:13they'll tell you better than anybody.
14:14They had to take 11 or 12 truckloads of garbage
14:18out of that lake, out of that water,
14:19and sat there for years like that.
14:22And that's not what our country is about.
14:24Our country is about beauty, cleanliness, safety,
14:27great people, not a filthy capital.
14:30It's such a stupid question you ask.
14:33You're — we're fixing up the Reflecting Pond
14:37to the Lincoln Memorial, the Washington Monument.
14:40And you say, why are you fixing it up?
14:43Because you can understand dirt, maybe, better than I can,
14:46but I don't allow it.
14:47This is one of the worst reporters.
14:49She's with ABC Fake News, and she's a horror show.
14:53She's saying, why would you bother fixing this up?
14:56Why would I bother taking 11 or 12 truckloads of filth
14:59out of the water in front of the Lincoln Monument?
15:02That's what made our country great.
15:05Beauty made our country — people made our country great.
15:08A question like that is a disgrace to our country.
15:11Any other questions?
15:12The Press, Mr. President, I'm also with ABC News.
15:15Can I ask you about the coronavirus?
15:16Have you been briefed on the virus?
15:18The President Trump has been briefed on the virus.
15:19Can you tell us what you've learned in these briefings?
15:20Well, I think you're going to be told everything,
15:23and you already have.
15:25It's very much, we hope, under control.
15:28It was the ship, and I think we're going to make
15:31a full report about it tomorrow.
15:33We have a lot of people — a lot of great people are studying it.
15:36It should be fine. We hope.
15:37The Press, Mr. President, should American
15:38be concerned that it would spread?
15:40And how are you —
15:40The President Trump, Mr. President, I hope not.
15:41I mean, I hope not. We'll do the best we can.
15:43Yeah.
15:43The Press, Mr. President, can you detail your meeting
15:47with President Lula today?
15:49Was there anything agreed on between the two of you?
15:50The President Trump, Mr. President, we had a great
15:50meeting with the President of Brazil.
15:53We're doing a lot of trading, and we're going to do
15:56some increased trading.
15:57We talked about tariffs.
15:58We talked about, you know, they would like to have
16:00some tariff relief.
16:03But we had a very good meeting.
16:05He's a good man.
16:05He's a smart guy.
16:07The Press, Mr. President, after these strikes,
16:09is the ceasefire with Iran still on?
16:12The President Trump, Mr. President, yeah, it is.
16:13It's — they trifled with us today.
16:16We blew them away.
16:17They trifled.
16:18I call that a trifle.
16:20I'll let you know when there's no ceasefire.
16:21You won't have to know.
16:23If there's no ceasefire, you're not going to have to know.
16:25You're just going to have to look at one big glow coming
16:28out of Iran.
16:29And they better sign their agreement fast.
16:31The Press, Mr. President, could you give us an update
16:33on what is the latest in those talks?
16:35No, it's going — the talks are going very well.
16:37But they have to understand, if it doesn't get signed,
16:41they're going to have a lot of pain.
16:42They're going to have a lot of pain.
16:44They want to sign it, I will tell you.
16:46They want to sign it a lot more than I do.
16:49The Press, Mr. President, I think that's what you want
16:51to hear, fellas, right?
16:52Would you want to hear a different tone?
16:55That's the only thing they understand.
16:56They don't understand it.
16:58We had three world-class destroyers go through the strait today.
17:05Any other country, under the circumstances,
17:08wouldn't have done — shot missiles at it and drones at it
17:13and these stupid boats that came at it.
17:15They got blown away in about two minutes.
17:18Their tanker got blown.
17:20You know what we did with the tanker?
17:22We didn't want to create an environment.
17:23So we shot out the rudder.
17:25And the tanker is going around, spinning around in circles.
17:29They should not have done that today.
17:32We thought they might.
17:33We didn't know.
17:34But we were prepared.
17:35They shot missiles.
17:37Every missile was knocked down.
17:39Every drone was knocked down.
17:40And the people that shot it are no longer with us.
17:44The Press, Mr. President, has Wren officially responded to the one page on her?
17:49Well, it's more than a one-page offer.
17:51It's an offer that's basically said they will not have nuclear weapons.
17:55They're going to hand us the nuclear dust.
17:57And many other things that we want.
17:59The Press has been relapsed so far, Mr. President?
18:01Yeah, they've agreed.
18:02But when they agree, it doesn't mean much.
18:04Because the next day, they forget — they forgot they agreed.
18:07And, you know, we're dealing with different sets of leaders.
18:10When you talk about regime change, you know, they keep talking about regime change.
18:14Well, we got rid of the first regime.
18:16We got rid of the second regime.
18:17We got rid of most of the third regime.
18:19And then they say, oh, is that regime change?
18:22I think — I think it's the ultimate regime change.
18:25How close would you say that you are to a deal right now with Iran?
18:28Could happen any day.
18:29Could — and it might not happen.
18:31But it could happen any day.
18:33I believe they want the deal more than I do.
18:35The Press is — are you aware of the FBI raid on Virginia State Senator Luis Lucas's house yesterday?
18:42Who's — who?
18:43The Press is — Virginia State Senator Luis Lucas.
18:45She's a Democrat.
18:46I'm not aware of it.
18:47The Press is yesterday.
18:47I'm not aware of it.
18:48No.
18:48The Press is — Mr. President, is your trip with China still going ahead?
18:52Yeah, sure.
18:52And which companies you're — you have —
18:53I have a very good relationship with President Xi.
18:56We've had a great economic time.
18:58China has been great for us economically, but not for other presidents.
19:02But we've done very well with China.
19:05We're going to have a meeting with President Xi.
19:07It's going to be, I think, quite amazing.
19:10He's been a — he's been a friend of mine.
19:12I got — I've gotten along with him very well over the years.
19:14We have had no problem.
19:16And we've had no problem with China and Iran.
19:18And everybody said, oh, China, China.
19:20We've had no problem with China and Iran.
19:22The Press is already a new year.
19:24Have you spoken to Secretary Rubio since his meeting with Pope Rubio?
19:27And did you ask him to pass on a message to him?
19:29No, no, no.
19:29I spoke to him.
19:29I just said, tell the Pope very nicely, very respectfully,
19:36that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon.
19:39So when he comes to their defense,
19:42also tell the Pope that Iran killed 42 protesters
19:46who didn't have guns, who didn't have weapons.
19:49Tell that to the Pope.
19:51What happened to President?
19:52There's a Christian pastor in China that's been imprisoned since October.
19:57I know that members of your administration have pushed to highlight the protection of Christians.
20:01What's his name?
20:02His name is Ezra Jin.
20:04Are you going to press President Xi on his release?
20:06Well, I've heard about it, but I will certainly look into it.
20:09Yeah.
20:09Do you press it?
20:10I'll look into it.
20:11I'll look.
20:11I'll bring it up.
20:12Yeah.
20:12I've gotten a lot of people — you know,
20:15I've gotten a lot of people out of different countries, including China.
20:19and people that were hostages or held.
20:22So, we'll take a look at that, including Pastor Brunson,
20:26as you know, from — in that case, it was Turkey.
20:30So, we've done a lot of that. I do a lot.
20:32And I don't pay $6 billion to get somebody out,
20:35like Biden used to do, or Obama.
20:36They give $6 billion to get some person out.
20:40The Press, what's your reaction, sir,
20:41to the Court of International Trade's ruling
20:43against your 10 percent across the border?
20:44Well, we were surprised. We had one very positive vote.
20:49We had two radical-left judges that voted against it.
20:53So, nothing surprises me with the courts.
20:56Nothing surprises me.
20:58So, we always do it a different way.
21:00We get one ruling, and we do it a different way.
21:02We're taking in hundreds of billions of dollars from tariffs.
21:06And we're taking — we're taking it away from countries,
21:10frankly, that have ripped us off for years.
21:12And now, they're not ripping us off anymore.
21:14The Press, what happened to the President?
21:16Why was that suspended?
21:18The administration official tied up to the next phase of the war?
21:20The President, the really wonderful leadership at a place —
21:25as you know, Pakistan has been fantastic.
21:29And their leaders have been fantastic —
21:31the Field Marshal and the Prime Minister.
21:33And they asked us not to do it.
21:35We'll go back to it if we have to.
21:37They asked us not to do it during the negotiation.
21:39The Press, are you considering, maybe, going back to that
21:42now that gas prices are going to be well?
21:44The President, well, no.
21:45Gas prices have come down today.
21:47Have you looked?
21:48They've come down very substantially today.
21:51The gas prices — you know what's happened today?
21:53Gas prices are way down, and the stock market is way up today.
21:56So, gas prices have come down.
21:59And I saw today that they broke negatively.
22:03In other words, to our positive position,
22:06they broke our way very substantially.
22:08And when the war is over, gas will fall down at levels
22:12that you've never seen before.
22:14You'll be down to where you were, maybe even lower.
22:16We had it down to — I was in Iowa, and we were at 85 —
22:21about 85 — what did you say?
22:23Yeah, I think it was — we broke — we broke —
22:25The Press 2 dollars.
22:26The President, we broke it. We broke it.
22:28We had numbers that nobody had seen in a long time.
22:31So, you had $2 a gallon.
22:34We were down, I think, to $1.85, $1.90 in Iowa and a lot of other places.
22:39Outside of California, where California charges such a high tax on the gasoline,
22:44when you take that tax off — but California has a tremendous —
22:48I don't know if anybody knows, California was the third-largest area for oil.
22:54And you were telling me, and Chris was telling me before we're talking about California oil.
23:00They had — California is like an oil — it's rich with oil.
23:05But, stupidly, 15, 16, 17 years ago, people stopped drilling.
23:11It was third to Texas and another state — probably Oklahoma.
23:17But, when this is over, I think you're going to see oil prices drop down to the levels where they
23:21were.
23:22It may be lower.
23:22There's a lot of oil out there.
23:24And the stock market hit a new high.
23:27Nobody thought that was possible.
23:28The stock market today, for the 59th time since I'm President, hit a new high.
23:34And people that have 401 s — you guys have 401 s — because you've got to like me.
23:39Does everybody have a 401 s — because you've got to like Trump if you do.
23:44The 401 s — right.
23:46The 401 s are through the roof.
23:48All right.
23:48One or two more.
23:49I want to look at the surface, because I like the surface better than I like it.
23:53The Pressure, why haven't you endorsed either John Cornyn or Ken Paxton in the section?
23:57The President, I'll make a decision.
23:58Yeah, I'll make a decision.
23:59The Pressure, when will you make your decision?
24:01The President, maybe relatively soon.
24:03The Pressure, I like them both.
24:05The Pressure, I like them both.
24:05The Pressure, I like them both.
24:06The Pressure, so would you consider export curbs on oil or jet fuel if supplies get tight?
24:11The President, I don't need them.
24:12We don't need them.
24:12And we have tremendous amounts of oil.
24:15We are not suffering oil.
24:16And, again, ships are coming all the way where they used to go to Hormoz.
24:20They're coming all the way up.
24:22And we have hundreds of ships coming up to Texas, coming up to Louisiana, and coming to Alaska.
24:29Filling up, and they're going back and making a lot of money.
24:33The Pressure, with another project, you have immediately said that taxpayers could not pay for the ballroom at the White
24:40House.
24:40Why should taxpayers now be on the hook for a billion dollars?
24:44Well, they're not, because that's for many other projects.
24:47That's for projects having to do with safety in a certain section of the White House grounds.
24:53That's not all for the ballroom.
24:55And we're putting up $400 million to do the ballroom section of the ballroom.
25:00We are putting that up privately.
25:02I am doing it along with other patriots that love our country.
25:06But they want to do certain things militarily with respect to the ballroom, having nothing to do with us or
25:13having to do with the safety of the President.
25:15So having to do with a lot of things.
25:17But we are going to have a safe ballroom.
25:20It's under construction.
25:22It's ahead of schedule.
25:23It's right on budget.
25:25It would be $300 million to $400 million that we're putting up.
25:28And a lot of that money will be going to safety also.
25:31But the House approved, or the Senate approved, I guess.
25:36Or they're looking at approving.
25:37I don't know if it got approved yet.
25:40But they're talking about putting up a certain amount of money having to do with security at the White House
25:45and the East Wing.
25:46Yeah.
25:46Will you commit to publicly releasing the amount of money that the private donors have paid to the ballroom?
25:51Well, I have no problem with it.
25:52You're not supposed to because it's done under a way where you don't have to do that.
25:57But I have no problem.
25:58They're unbelievable people.
26:00These are great patriots.
26:02They're putting up — you know, it's the only place in the world you can give a $400 million ballroom.
26:08You put up the money, and they're unhappy with it.
26:10They think the taxpayers should pay for it.
26:13So this will be the most beautiful ballroom anywhere in the world.
26:16And it'll be the safest ballroom by far anywhere in the world.
26:20And you won't have a fiasco like you did Saturday night two weeks ago.
26:24Are you excited to have this already jet by July 4th?
26:28By July 4th.
26:29Yeah, we think we're going to have it.
26:30Yeah, we do think we're going to have it.
26:32Thank you very much for the question.
26:34Thank you, Press.
26:36Thank you, Press.
26:36Thank you, Press.
26:37This way.
26:38Thank you, Press.
26:39Thank you, Press.
26:40Thank you, Press.
26:41Thank you, Press.
26:42Thank you, Press.
26:42Thank you, Press.
