00:04We had a tremendous day in Texas, we had two big rallies, they were packed, they had people
00:12watching outside the screens, we put up the big screens, the jumbotrons or whatever they
00:16call it.
00:17But they were big packed rallies and people haven't really seen anything like it.
00:22And it's very exciting.
00:24I think we've made a big impact, we'll see what happens on Tuesday, but I think we've
00:28made a big impact.
00:30It's very exciting what's going on.
00:32I'm going to be going to Ohio, I'll be going to South Carolina, she's doing well.
00:37She's at a pole where she's up, and it's Darlene, and I think in Ohio they are up too.
00:46So we're doing very well, we're having a very big impact, Steve.
00:49Did you approve from Flavio, Bolsonaro coming to the United States, and what is that about?
00:55Well, I would approve, I think they're fine people.
00:59The election was very strange, and I thought it was terrible.
01:04It's gotten bad reviews, you look at what happens in their market.
01:07Would I approve of it?
01:09Yeah, I would approve of it entirely.
01:10I think it would be okay with me.
01:12I think it's so terrible to see it.
01:14I didn't take sides.
01:15You know, I know about, I know Lula, I know Flavio a little bit.
01:21I know the father very well.
01:23The father was treated really badly, I thought.
01:27But I wasn't involved.
01:28That's Brazil.
01:29It's a different country.
01:29I do get involved in some.
01:31I was involved in Colombia.
01:33I endorsed El Tigre, and he won.
01:35He was in 10th place, and he won.
01:37And he's turning out to be a very strong, very good president.
01:41As you know, in Argentina, I endorsed.
01:43In numerous countries, I endorsed.
01:46They always won.
01:46I didn't endorse in Brazil.
01:48I thought I'd stay out of that one.
01:50And I thought the end result, you know, it's fine, the end result.
01:54But the way they got to the end result was terrible.
02:00I heard he was in Argentina.
02:02I don't know where he is.
02:03I mean, I heard he was in Argentina.
02:06But I don't — that I don't know.
02:08I heard he was in Argentina.
02:11But, yeah, I would certainly approve of him being here.
02:18Well, that's not what I heard.
02:25I heard the opposite.
02:27I actually heard that the poll numbers were wrong.
02:31They had exit polls.
02:33I'm hearing that he did very well.
02:34You know, it's pretty close, which was very well.
02:39I think when the endorsement went out, it helped him a lot.
02:42But I actually heard he did pretty well.
02:44It might be winning or tied.
02:46A tie is sort of considered a win, in that case,
02:49because it's a big chess match.
02:52But I heard he's done pretty well.
02:54It's a little bit early.
02:55No, I haven't.
02:57It's a little bit early yet.
02:58But I'm hearing that in Israel that he — I mean, the top people are saying,
03:04wow, he did a lot better than people thought.
03:07Sort of like maybe a stalemate or a win.
03:11But we'll find out pretty soon.
03:12The Press.
03:13It's a great question.
03:15The Press.
03:19The Press.
03:21Well, Ambassador Kushner — he's talking French.
03:24He's a great guy.
03:26He's a rich man.
03:27And he took over the French embassy.
03:30And he spends a lot of his time making it beautiful.
03:34It was in rough shape.
03:35Beautiful building.
03:36But, you know, it's been lived in for 100 years by various ambassadors, and nobody does anything.
03:43He's somebody like me, I guess.
03:45He likes to fix things up.
03:47And he's done an incredible job.
03:49He's painstakingly brought it back to life.
03:52It's a beautiful, beautiful place, beautiful embassy, beautiful home.
03:57And we talked about France, and obviously it would be a predominant number.
04:02He was showing me what he did.
04:04But then we talked about France, and it's an immigration problem.
04:08I mean, it's not a school problem.
04:10It's an immigration problem.
04:12It's a very sad thing to watch.
04:13I've been saying that to President Macron for a long time, who I like a lot, by the way.
04:19But I said, you could end up losing your country if you don't do something.
04:22But it's an immigration.
04:23You have people that hate France.
04:27They hate the buildings, hate the art, hate the people.
04:31And they're in there.
04:33And you'd have to get them out.
04:35Something has to happen.
04:37And they better do something.
04:38I've been saying it for 10 years to the President.
04:42I've known him for a long time.
04:44And it's...
04:46I think what's happened in France and other countries in Europe is very sad.
04:51Mr. President, you have talked about video with Steve Witkoff on the plane with you today.
04:56Can you tell us what you discussed?
04:58Is it related to Iran or Russia?
05:00We talked about Iran.
05:01We talked about Russia.
05:03And I think with Russia, we're making a lot of progress with Russia-Ukraine.
05:09There will be a meeting set up very soon.
05:11And I think a lot of progress is being made to stop with President Putin and President Zelensky.
05:19And I think a lot of progress is made.
05:21I think with Iran, we're in a very good position.
05:25It's a question, when do I want to end it?
05:28Simply a question of when do I want to end it.
05:31And they want to make a deal, but they've wanted to make a deal.
05:35But they like tapping it along.
05:37Maybe they're waiting for the election or something, but that's not going to help them.
05:42The election is not going to help them.
05:44But I think we've...
05:46Look, we've decimated their military.
05:48We've decimated their finances.
05:50They have no money.
05:51They have inflation, the highest in the world, 301 percent as of a couple of days ago.
05:58But we'll see what happens.
05:59We're in good position regardless.
06:01Do you think it was full strikes against Iran after the election?
06:05I mean, I can't tell you that, certainly.
06:07But anything's possible, but I can't tell you.
06:10Why is President Zelensky that he expects your support if he runs for President?
06:17Would you endorse him?
06:20Well, no, he hasn't even talked to me about that.
06:22And it's too early to think about it.
06:24But I can tell you, I like him a lot.
06:26He's a very capable guy.
06:28He's doing a good job.
06:29He's out there rallying also.
06:31And I do like him a lot.
06:33And I like a lot of people.
06:36If you saw the hand that Marco got tonight, Marco Rubio got a big hand.
06:41And they like him.
06:42They like my people.
06:43We have a great group of people, very talented.
06:46It's a tremendous cabinet, I think.
06:49Maybe the best ever.
06:51When would you leave with Putin and Zelensky?
06:53When are you thinking about it?
06:56Probably soon.
06:56And we meet, you know.
06:57November, December?
06:58And I would say it would be a meeting.
07:00They'd like to have a meeting.
07:01So we'll see.
07:01We'll probably make it.
07:02It could be done, not necessarily through a meeting, otherwise, too.
07:06But I would say it'll happen over the next not too long a period.
07:11That does not include Zelensky when you go to Asia?
07:15Well, I would if it didn't include Ukraine.
07:18You know, Russia is a big country.
07:21We're meeting with, scheduled already, with President Xi of China.
07:26And we have a meeting on nuclear disarmament, which is a very great meeting, as far as I'm
07:33concerned.
07:33Maybe the single most important meeting.
07:36So we do have, we talk about the denuclearization of the various countries.
07:43So certainly Russia would fit into that.
07:45We have the most nuclear weapons.
07:47Russia is second, pretty close, pretty close behind.
07:51And China is much further behind, but they'll catch us within five years.
07:56And it all doesn't make sense.
07:58So we talk about that.
08:00We actually talk about it a lot.
08:01I think they don't have a meeting on nuclear disarmament with President Xi and President Putin.
08:08We would have one of the topics.
08:10But the denuclearization, I mean, when you look at 17, 1800 of these unbelievably deadly missiles,
08:25it's very dangerous stuff.
08:27Very, very dangerous stuff.
08:29If something could be done in that regard, it would be great.
08:33It's not an easy thing to do, because nobody wants to sort of just say, well,
08:38because you do have other countries having much lesser numbers, but they also have nuclear weapons.
08:44So it gets to be difficult.
08:45Thank you very much.
