00:00A couple of years ago, when President Biden met him in San Francisco, he was asked if he thought President
00:06Xi was a dictator.
00:07Do you think President Xi is a dictator?
00:09I think that President Biden was an incompetent president.
00:13He gave us the Iran nuclear deal, which allowed Iran to have a nuclear weapon within a matter of years
00:19from the time they said, I terminated it.
00:21If I didn't terminate that, Iran would have a nuclear weapon, then they would have used it within probably two
00:27years ago, three years ago.
00:28If I didn't go in with the B-2 bombers nine months ago, Iran would have a nuclear weapon and
00:33nobody would be able to talk to him.
00:35By the way, they would have used it already.
00:37Do you think President Xi is a dictator or not?
00:40I don't think about it.
00:42He's the ruler.
00:43He's the president of China.
00:45I don't think about it.
00:47You deal with what you have.
00:49I respect him.
00:51He's very smart.
00:52He loves his country.
00:53I respect him.
00:54Whether he's a dictator, that's for you to figure out.
00:56Mr. President, you said you didn't talk about tariffs, but did you talk about fentanyl at all?
01:01I did.
01:02I talked about fentanyl.
01:03As you know, I put a tariff on because of fentanyl.
01:06And they discussed that.
01:08But I put a penalty.
01:10It's a penalty.
01:11A lot of money we take in because of that.
01:13I prefer not taking it.
01:14I prefer that we don't have it.
01:16But we did talk about fentanyl.
01:17What kind of agreement did you pass?
01:19Well, you know, the fentanyl is down, way down from where it was.
01:22And it could be because of the tariff penalty.
01:25Sergeant, domestic issue, if I could.
01:26Where are you on the Texas Senate race?
01:29Well, I'll maybe make a decision.
01:31I know them both very well.
01:33I like them both a lot.
01:34And, you know, my record of endorsements is extraordinary.
01:39You look at what happened with Indiana.
01:42And out of all those races, the one that won was, there were three Trump people in the race.
01:47If they had won, he would have won in a landslide.
01:50But I took out all of these candidates.
01:54I had, you know, long-time candidates with big leads against people that never ran before.
02:00And the people that never ran before won virtually all the races.
02:04And, as you know, two nights ago, I won every single endorsement.
02:09A week ago, before that, I won every single endorsement.
02:13There's never been a record of endorsements like this, which is a great honor as far as I'm concerned.
02:18But you might not endorse it.
02:18No, MAGA is a movement the likes of which our country has never seen before.
02:23But you might not endorse, sir, in Texas.
02:26I don't want to say that.
02:27I mean, I'm looking at it versatile.
02:29I like them both.
02:29I mean, I'll tell you what I do think.
02:31I think the Democrats have a weird, a weird candidate.
02:37Six genders.
02:39A real hit on Jesus.
02:41I mean, this guy is bad news with his mask from relatively recently.
02:48He's a vegan.
02:49He's a vegan.
02:49All of a sudden, he's not a vegan.
02:51He was a vegan.
02:52Now, all of a sudden, he's not.
02:53Texas doesn't like vegans.
02:55I do believe either one of them will easily win the race.
02:59I think that the candidate the Democrats have in Texas is a very flawed, very weak, very
03:06I think he's a pathetic candidate, especially for Texas.
03:10Did you see Secretary Rubio in the briefing room the other day?
03:14And what did you think?
03:16Are you talking about his outfit?
03:18Yeah, that's it.
03:20I thought he looked very good in the outfit.
03:22So I said, I don't know if I'd do it, but I thought he looked very good.
03:25But I think he's outstanding.
03:27I thought he was good.
03:28I mean, I saw every word of it.
03:30I thought he was good.
03:30I suppose that's what you were saying, though.
