00:00Mr. President, what made you suggest Dana White, and are you serious about it, or are you kidding around?
00:05Well, if you looked at it, you saw the assistance I put.
00:08I posted the greatest wrestlers and UFC fighters in the world, right?
00:14Like Khabib, like Justin Gaethje, who's phenomenal.
00:20And you see a lot of rough faces there.
00:22And you would have thought that people would have said, she's having a good time.
00:26I will tell you, I was only kidding.
00:30But Dana loves the idea, and there's only one Dana, he's great, I don't know.
00:34He would be, you wouldn't mess around with him so much.
00:37But, so, I was kidding, of course.
00:41When you look at the fighters that I put in, that's why I said, some don't come from our country.
00:46They come from parts unknown.
00:49They come from a lot of areas that are very rough areas.
00:54But, so I was kidding.
00:57But I think Dana likes the idea.
01:00And he is a very capable guy.
01:01So he's actually coming tomorrow.
01:03Of course I was kidding.
01:04And you could see that because I put all of the great fighters as his assistants, that they're all going
01:09to come with him.
01:10But it was just a little fun.
01:13But Dana is actually coming tomorrow.
01:16Actually on other, for other reasons.
01:18I think he was going to be in Washington.
01:20So he's going to come over and see me.
01:22That was an example of something where I was kidding.
01:25And then people said, you know, that's actually a pretty good idea.
01:28Yeah, go ahead, please.
01:29Mr. President, the video is investigating Jensen Huang's relationship with a Chinese spy.
01:33Have you spoken to Jensen Huang today?
01:34I have not spoken to him about it.
01:36I just know he's a fine person.
01:38But you never know what is going on.
01:41I'm sure, I hope everything's fine.
01:44He's done such an incredible job.
01:47And so I would certainly hope that he's a fine person, in my opinion.
01:50In hindsight, do you wish that you had acted on the intelligence when you were briefed about this spy last
01:54year?
01:54I think, you know, I think he's an honorable guy.
01:57I think he probably has an excuse for it.
02:00You have to hear it.
02:02No, you can't do that with people.
02:03He was, he's done an amazing job for our country.
02:07You know, we have the hottest country anywhere in the world.
02:10We have the highest stock market.
02:11Now, we did right after the election, I was not on the ballot.
02:17But right after the election, we did lose $3 trillion.
02:21The highest number ever, which tells you that the market considers the Democrats to be a disaster.
02:29A 401 case went down only because of the Democrats, not because of Republicans, to me.
02:34But the market went down at a level that I guess almost hasn't been seen before.
02:39But it's coming back because the next day, we announced unbelievable job and growth numbers.
02:46Should he stay on his video in the video?
02:49I think so.
02:50Oh, yes.
02:51Mr. President, is he going to go with you on your trip to Asia next week?
02:54I don't know, but I'd certainly take him.
02:56I mean, we'd have to find.
02:57I haven't heard he's done anything wrong.
02:59He dealt with somebody.
03:00But, you know, so does everybody else.
03:03Mr. President, Democrats say they want to impeach RFK Jr. and Pete Hegstat.
03:07How do you feel about that?
03:09They've got to get back to the country.
03:10You know, you saw what happened last week with the $3 trillion.
03:13$3 trillion with the team.
03:15They've got to get back.
03:16These are two very fine people.
03:18RFK Jr. was a Democrat until.
03:21And he's had those views and the views on all of the things that he's been doing.
03:26And he's a very popular guy.
03:27A lot of people agree.
03:29And Pete Hegstat.
03:30So he wins two wars.
03:32We won in Venezuela.
03:33We've taken out hundreds of billions of dollars.
03:36We won in 48 minutes.
03:38And we won in Iran.
03:40We won that in Iran.
03:41It's just a question of closing it out now or later.
03:44We may wait.
03:45The, some of their neighbors would prefer that we just keep it the way it is.
03:51Again, we haven't lost anybody.
03:53No soldiers have been lost.
03:54If you look at Vietnam and if you look at all these others, there were for many years with thousands,
04:00tens of thousands of people killed, soldiers, with us.
04:04And so we've gone two wars.
04:07We've lost, and by the way, one is too many.
04:10But we've lost 18 soldiers in two wars.
04:14And the one war is seven months.
04:16The other one was 58, 48 minutes.
04:19And we made a fortune on Venezuela.
04:22We've taken out, again, billions and billions, many times what we paid for the war.
04:26And we're getting along great with Venezuela, and Venezuela is doing well because all of a sudden they have big
04:33activity.
04:34But with Iran, they're never going to have a nuclear weapon.
04:38They had the JC, if you look at what, you know, the Obama deal, the Obama nuclear deal, that was
04:47a road to a nuclear weapon.
04:49It was a terrible deal.
04:51So I ended that, and then we hit them with the B-2 bombers, and we made it impossible for
04:57them to get their nuclear dust.
04:59So when you say about Pete Hexen, I mean, he's guilty of two things, basically winning two wars.
05:06In the second war, we knocked out their nuclear capacity and probably saved Israel and probably saved the Middle East.
05:13I believe we saved the Middle East and Israel combined.
05:17And it's awfully hard to say, let's impeach somebody who did that, because if you look at Afghanistan, and if
05:24you look at Iraq, and if you look at Vietnam and all these wars that we fight, you know, those
05:31people, if they're going to do it to beat Excess, what about, think about it.
05:36We had a war in Venezuela, which everyone said, don't do.
05:42China was involved.
05:43China left.
05:45We took it over.
05:47It's doing great.
05:48It was a big victory.
05:49It lasted less than an hour.
05:50It's 48 minutes.
05:51Then we have a war in Iran.
05:53We blew up their nuclear dust.
05:55They're not going to have nuclear weapons.
05:57And we saved Israel and the Middle East.
05:59If they would have had it, there would be no Israel right now.
06:02There would be no Middle East.
06:03And what are we going to do with one of the guys that was most responsible?
06:08They want to impeach him.
06:10They have to go back and why didn't they impeach Lloyd Austin when he was missing in action for two
06:15weeks, right?
06:16And resided over one of the worst things anyone's ever seen.
06:2213 dead, hundreds killed at the airport.
06:27The Afghanistan.
06:28On Israel, what's your reaction to Gadi Izzakoff being tasked with forming a new government?
06:33Well, you know, they're both fighting for that.
06:36They're very similar in terms of their policy and their view.
06:42And I guess he said very nice things about me.
06:45He says he loves Trump.
06:47But I don't know.
06:48I haven't seen what's happening.
06:49But it's certainly a contest between him and Bibi Netanyahu.
06:54We'll see what happens.
06:54Whoever.
06:55They have very similar views.
06:56They're both strong on what I do.
06:59Mr. President, do you think that next week you're going to have a trilateral meeting with Vladimir Putin and Xi
07:03Jinping?
07:03Well, I'm going to be going to China.
07:06He's just left here.
07:07And one of the meetings, I think, will be with President Putin and President Xi.
07:12And that'll be interesting.
07:14We'll talk a lot of things, including denuclearization.
07:17But we'll be talking a lot of things.
07:19We're trying to end the war in Iran.
07:21And we're doing well because, you know, all we have to do, we're choking it off.
07:25We have Operation Iron Gate that just went into effect.
07:29That means nothing comes in by land.
07:32And as you know, the naval blockade, nothing comes in by water.
07:36So we have it very well blocked off.
07:38And they're not paying their soldiers.
07:41They're not paying their guard.
07:44They have 301 percent inflation.
07:48They have no money.
07:50And they're not doing well.
07:51And at some point, they're going to be reasonable.
07:53Now, I could go in and blow them up right now.
07:55The problem with that is you'll never be able to rebuild it.
07:58If I blow up the bridges and the power plants, the thing that takes is the hardest to rebuild
08:05are the big bridges.
08:05They have very big bridges there.
08:07They're big mountainous terrain and they're connected by bridges.
08:11And it would take them years.
08:13It would take them 10, 12, 15 years to rebuild.
08:16Also power plants.
08:17Second is power plants.
08:18The thing that's second hardest is power.
08:21To rebuild that, that puts an awfully big burden on the people.
08:25I don't like that.
08:26President, U.S. Central Command is putting out a reward for information about Iran moving
08:31their nuclear materials.
08:32Do you have information?
08:33Is that a concern?
08:34No, it's just no.
08:35If they are, we want to know about it.
08:37And we'll take them out.
08:38But we have not seen it.
08:40You know, through Space Force, which I created in my first time, we're able to read the patch,
08:47your name, right over here.
08:49We're able to see anything.
08:50We know exactly what's going with Pickaxe Mountain, as an example.
08:54We never hit Pickaxe because there was no activity there.
08:57But we could do that in five minutes if we needed to.
09:01Has J.D. Vance's comments about Iran questioning some of those decisions,
09:05has that impacted your relationship at all?
09:07No, not at all.
09:08But a lot of people didn't like his comments.
09:10But not me.
09:12He was right.
09:12Other than one thing, he should have made one other statement.
09:15One statement that I think is very important.
09:18If you had it to do again, would you do it again?
09:20The answer is yes.
09:22I can tell you, if I had it to do again, this historically, for history,
09:26we'll go down as one of the best things we ever did.
09:29Because if they ever had a nuclear weapon, they would blow up the world.
09:33You know why?
09:33Because they're crazy.
09:35Thank you very much, everybody.
09:36The President, the Justice Department, you want them to investigate, get donors.
09:42That'd be terrible.
09:44Well, then we'll investigate their donors.
09:46Because their donors did bad things.
09:49Okay, thank you.
