Any questions? Mr. President? To the markets today and would you be open to a palm tariffs to allow for negotiation? Nope, nope. Well, we're not looking at that. We have many, many countries that are coming to negotiate deals with us. If he pauses it, it would make them lose strength. He can't pause now.

In certain cases, they're going to be paying substantial tariffs. Yeah, he's locked there. He'll be fair deals. As you know, I spoke this morning with the Prime Minister of Japan, and we had a very good conversation. They're coming. And I said one thing you're going to have to open up your country. Nintendo Switch.

We sold no cars like zero cars in Japan. And they sold millions of cars into our country. They don't really take our agriculture a little bit of it just to keep us slightly happy, but they don't take what they're supposed to be taking. So we have a great relationship with Japan. We're going to keep it that way. But they're coming in to meet, and other countries are coming in. With China, as you know, against my statement,

they put a 34% tariff on above what their ridiculous tariffs were already. And I said if that tariff isn't removed by tomorrow at 12 o'clock, we're putting a 50% tariff on above the tariffs that we put on. So they've gone for years. They've become a rich country because of people, again, that were in the White House that allowed this to happen. Hundreds of billions of dollars here that make us on trade. And it shouldn't be that way.

I have a great relationship with President Xi. I hope it's going to stay that way. I have great respect to China. But they can't do this. We're going to have one shot at this, and no other president's going to do this, what I'm doing. Probably not. I'll tell you what.

It's an honor to do it because we have been just destroyed what they've done to our system. We have $36 trillion of debt for a reason. And the reason is that people allowed it to get that way. So we'll be talking to China. We'll be talking to a lot of different countries. And I think, you know, if we can make a really fair deal and a good deal for the United States, not a good deal for other.

This is America first. It's now America first. And we didn't put America first. We put America last. The people that were in the Oval Office put America last and we're not going to stand for it. He's Biden. Yeah. Holy fuck.

Matt? Two questions. Do you expect any of these deals to be made before April 9th? And secondly, there have been some mixed messages from your administration. You're talking about negotiations and yet others in your administration are saying that these tariffs are actually permanent. What is the action? Well, it can be, they can both be true.

There can be permanent. Well, they're permanent if they don't negotiate. It's obviously. Because there are things that we need to be in tax. We need open borders. You know, we almost had a deal with China where we're going to open up. China it was almost done some of you remember it during my first time and it was very disappointing we ended up making a great deal 50 billion dollars worth of

product was so 50 billion you'd like that in Israel and I made that deal but it wasn't the deal that I wanted it was the deal that I wanted was that plus they're going to open up China so that our companies could go into China and compete with other countries and China for the you know for a large number of people And at the very end, that deal was terminated, and we went to a piece of the deal. And so there are a lot of things outside of tariffs, but tariffs are very important. But there are a lot of things like opening up countries that were totally closed. China is essentially a closed country.

In fact, it is a closed country. And what they do is they charge tariffs so that if you sell cars or if you sell anything, nobody's going to buy it because the price is out of control. But that's true with a lot of other countries also. So we're going to get fair deals and good deals with every country. And if we don't, we're going to have nothing to do with them. They're not going to be allowed to participate in the United States. God damn.

He's doubling down. Yeah. This is all day long. This is selling the fuck down. Thank you. Yeah. Many of Palestinian Americans who voted for you, voted for you or not for Biden because you've promised them to into war in Gaza.

Very honored by that, too. The war is still going on and there's no hostage deal. Do you have any update on that? Well, I'd like to see the war stop. And I think the war will stop at some point that won't be in the too distant future. Right now, we have a problem with hostages. We're trying to get the hostages out.

We got quite a few of them out, but it's a long process. It shouldn't be that long. We have a big problem that we've done. I think I'll ask Pete to maybe talk about it for a second, because a lot of people are asking the hooties, we've been very tough and very successful militarily. Uh-oh.

We've really damaged them badly. These were people shooting down ships and other things, by the way. Yeah. Flying objects like aeroplanes. And we've put a major hurt on the hoodies, which nobody's been able to do. We've really hit them hard, and they know it. And they don't know what to do. And it's every night, night after.

tonight and we've gotten many of their leaders and their experts. They're experts on missiles. I mean, they actually make missiles. Nobody thought that, but they make missiles. It's highly sophisticated and they're very tough. But they've been very badly damaged. Nobody else was able to do that. But Pete, do you want to discuss that place?

Yes, sir. It's been a bad three weeks for the Houthis. It's about to get worse. It's been a devastating campaign, whether it's underground facilities, a weapons, I love it, man. Troops in the open air defense assets. Oh, man. And it's only to get more unrelenting until the Houthis declare they will stop shooting at our ships.

And we've been very clear that the Iranians as well. They should not continue to provide support to the Houthis. And that message has been made very clear. So we have a lot more options and a lot more pressure to apply. And we know because we see the reports how devastating this campaign has been in them and we will not like. We have a great military. There's no military like our military. And despite Biden having given a lot, but nevertheless a pretty small piece, but it was a lot of our military way in Afghanistan.

And one of the dumbest situations, I think it's maybe the most embarrassing situation we've ever been involved in. That's saying a lot. A short period of time in Afghanistan. What a disgrace that was, but left a lot of our military behind, left left, left. You see them in their annual parades where they're parading trucks that are armor-plated and different things that they can't. But it's many billions of dollars we left behind. But despite that, we have a tremendous military that was a very small portion because we rebuilt the military during my first term. And we have great things happening with our military.

We also essentially approved a budget, which is in the facility. like to hear this of a trillion dollars, one trillion dollars. Wow. And nobody's seen anything like it. We have to build our military and we're very coarse conscious, but the military is something that we have to build and we have to be strong because you've got a lot of bad forces out there now. So we're going to be approving a budget.

And I'm proud to say, actually, the biggest one we've ever done for the military, we're cutting other things that were under Doge, but under a lot of other. When you look at a woman getting $2 billion for environmental, and it had nothing to do with environmental, and they had $100 in the bank, and they give her $2 billion, many, many of those cases, all that stuff is going to be cut out. But we are getting a very, very powerful military.

We have things under order now, the likes of which we've never had before. We've never had the kind of aircraft, the kind of missiles, anything that we have ordered. and it's in many ways too bad that we have to do it, because hopefully we're not going to have to use it, but the military is very, very powerful, and it's going to remain that way.

Always! Thank you, Mr. President. I want to ask you about Iran, because this is the first time we hear that the U.S. is having a direct contact with the Iranians. Is it possible to give us some more information at what level if the U.S. is represented? Very high level.

We're dealing with the Iranians. We have a very big meeting on Saturday, and we're dealing with them directly. A lot of people say, oh, maybe you're going through surrogates or you're not dealing directly. You're not going to talk to? We're not going to be directly.

And maybe a deal is going to be made. That would be great. It would be really great for Iran, I can tell you that. But hopefully, we're not going to have to get into that. We are meeting very importantly on Saturday at almost the highest level. And we'll see how it works out. Please.

How do you ensure, Mr. President, that these tariffs don't drive U.S. trading partners into the hands of the Chinese? That's a good question. I'm not worried about it. I'm not worried about it. They want to be in the hands of the U.S. They don't want to be in the hands of the Chinese.

The Chinese have turned out to be really not very good at that. People that are with us, they're with us. But we cannot be taken advantage of any longer. I used to watch these deals for years. I've been talking about it for years. I've been talking about it for 35 years how our country is being ripped off. I mean, 30 years ago, it was Japan.

Then it was something else. And it was another group. Oh, he has. He has. He has. He has. The best job of it, frankly. And it's just not going to happen.

Not going to happen. And then, Mr. President, you said, you said, he said, he said, he has said, he has said. that they have offered zero for zero tariffs on cars and industrial goods? Is that not enough? Well, the EU, no, it's not. The EU has been very tough over the years. So he's still not even...

I always say it was formed to really do damage to the United States and trade. That's the reason it was formed. It was formed with all of the countries from Europe. I guess most of them, not all of them, but most of them. Super quick, the bargaining. And they formed together to create a little bit of a monopoly situation. to create a unified force against the United States for trade. So they have NATO, which is largely the same countries,

and they took advantage of us dollar-wise and militarily until I got there. I was able to get $600 billion from NATO where they paid NATO because most of these nations weren't even paying. We were paying for NATO. So we're paying them to guard them militarily, and they're screwing us on trade. So that's not a good combination. So now it's really turned around. It's the opposite.

The European Union's been very bad to us. They don't take our cars, like Japan in a sense. They don't take our agricultural product. They don't take anything practically. And yet they sent millions of cars in a year, Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, BMWs. Well, I have one of those. They're sending millions and millions of cars into the U.S. but we don't have a car that's been sold to the European Union or other places.

But let's go for the European Union. And it's not going to be that way. It's got to be fair. Reciprocal, it's got to be fair. It's not fair. We have a deficit with the European Union of $350 billion. And it's going to disappear fast. And one of the reasons and one of the ways that that can disappear easily and quickly

is they're going to have to buy our energy from us because they need it. They're going to have to buy it from us. They can buy it. We can knock off $350 billion in one week. They have to buy and commit to buy a like amount of energy. And we have that, you know, we have more energy than any country in the world. I don't know if you know that. He knows everything, but the one thing you may not know, we have more energy than any country in the world.

We have more of every kind of energy, every form of energy, from oily gas to call. And people talk about, I call it beautiful clean call. as you know, Germany is opening up a coal plant to week. They tried the windmills and it didn't work. They tried all the other solutions and they were ready to go out of business. Now they're doing a coal plant to week. China is now up to two coal plants. They're opening two major coal plants every single week in China, all over China.

And then we're not allowed to use coal. Well, we have clean, beautiful coal more than anybody else. We have oily gas more than anybody else. We're bringing it back. the most energy of any country in the world, including Saudi Arabia, including everybody, by a lot. Oh, shit. And I took it to number one. We were number three.

And I took it to number one during my administration. And the reason that we were hurt so badly and the reason that we went into such incredible inflation during Biden is energy. It was also their bad spending, but energy. Because he's done. Because they played around with this incredible thing that we had built, this administration had built. And the energy cost went through the roof. And when that went up, everything else followed. Now, if you look at what's happening, you've got to see this today.

I said, we're going to try and get groceries down, right? An old-fashioned term, but a beautiful term. Eggs. So when I got in, the press went absolutely crazy the first week. That's true. Eggs have quadrupled in price. They did. He said, I just got here.

Tell me about it. And Brooke Rollins and our team did a great job. And eggs are down now 79% and they're all over. the place and this was a problem that you're gonna have more eggs than you know what to do with we have energy right we have interest rates are down we have groceries meaning food is down we have everything is down at levels that nobody ever thought possible energy looks like it's going to be in the two dollar and fifty cent a gallon range and maybe below that wow for a car so for gasoline so there's 286 today i saw we are we're really doing amazing

I mean, we're cutting prices because prices got so high, people couldn't live. I mean, the prices for groceries, the prices for standard, standard groceries, standard things were going through the roof. They couldn't live. And now those prices are coming down. So call them groceries, but that's down, energy is down, and interest rates are down. Everything's down. And the interest rates, the beauty there is when we refinanced debt, you know, debts become

such a big factor in this country. We're going to start paying dead off with tariffs and other things. But it's such a big factor because the interest rate is so high. Well, now that's coming way down. So our budget's going to look a lot better because interest costs a way down. And I guess I've done that. Any Israelis are watching you now on the show. What is your specific way of getting the hostages out from the horrific captivity?

We are trying very hard to get the hostages out, We're looking at another ceasefire. We'll see what happens. But we want to get the hostages out. The Israeli people want the hostages out more than anything they want the hostages out. This man is working very hard with us to do that. I mean, I don't know. I hope he's being appreciated because he's been a great leader.

He's working very, very hard on the hostages and many other things. And there are plenty of things you have to work on. It's a tough place in the world. I have a good partner. You do have a good partner and so do we we're working very hard on the house If you're going to negotiate a new deal with Iran Can you elaborate how it's going to be more effective than the JCPOA? Well, I can't really say that, but I think it'll be different and maybe a lot stronger

But they were so happy when we made that first deal because we did get a lot out You know I had people right in this office this beautiful oval office they came in ten 10 people, hostages, you know that. And I said to him, so how was it? And the stories they told me, I mean, as an example, I said to them, Who the fuck thinks the hostages were treated well? You were there. 10 people.

It's only 10, but it's pretty representative. Yeah. Did the Hamas show any signs of, like, help or liking you? Did they wink at you? Did they give you a piece of bread extra? Did they give you a meal on the side? know you think of doing like what happened in Germany what happened elsewhere people would yeah try and help people that were in unbelievable distress their psychopaths terrorist

I said all of them I said did they have a wink at you like you'll be okay you're gonna be okay no they didn't do that that's what I don't expect the hatred is unbelievable and the lives you know they lived in a pipe not really in tunnel it was a pipe and they always thought they were suffocating they were going to suffocate oh and then they'd over open up the pipe and it was like three and a half feet high. This isn't, you know, we hear tunnels bad, but pipes are worse. And Jesus. The stories I heard were incredible.

But I just said was there any sign of potential love or affection and there were none whatsoever. It was amazing to me. There was nothing like, here, take this as a little extra meal or something. They lived like hell. I don't know. They seem to be. Yeah, they're fucking terrorists. What do you expect?

They were amazing to be because they seemed to be pretty normal. They weren't scarred. But I guarantee underneath they have to be scarred. And one was there for 356 days. Another was there for about 180 days, you know, a long time. These are people that have been really, really horribly treated. I've never seen anything like it, actually. I was very surprised to hear the answer.

Yeah. Yeah. Are there two or three countries that are on your list that you feel are farther along in getting their tariffs lower? Oh. I think there are many that want to get rid of tariffs right now. European Union, I mean, as badly as they've treated us, they've brought their car tariffs essentially off. I guess they brought it down to two and a half an hour maybe to nothing.

But it's not only tariffs, it's non-monetary tariffs. It's tariffs where they put things on that make it impossible for you to sell a car. It's not a money thing. They make it so difficult, the standards and the tests. they drop a bowling ball on the top of your car from 20 feet up in the air. And if there's a little dent, they say, no, I'm sorry, your car doesn't qualify. When the same car from Germany or would dent likewise, unless you're going to have an army tank, it's going to dent.

So they come up with rules and regulations that are just designed for one reason that you can't send your product in those countries. And we're not going to let that happen. Those are called non-monetary barriers. They make barriers that are so tough that it's impossible to qualify. That's not surprised. So tariffs are a big part of it, but there's another big part of it, and that's barriers. They also do something else.

They manipulate their currency, and they drive it down. They want to drive it. They want to have low currencies. You know, it sounds better to have a high currency, a strong dollar or whatever, but they bring their currency down, and when it competes with a, our currency is very hard to sell a tractor. It's very hard to sell product because their currency is low and ours is much higher relatively. And so it makes it very hard. I speak to a lot of companies that do business, tractor companies. And they say it's so hard to sell because what they've

done is they've lowered the yen or they've lowered the wand or they've lowered their currency. So then it's very hard to compete. We don't want that either. So we have a lot of things that we're talking about, but we're going to fix it properly, and it's going to be fair to everybody, and in the end, I think we're going to have a world that does a lot better, you know, but they have to respect the United States. And nobody but me would do this. Nobody but me would do this. You know, it would be nice to serve, a nice, easy term, but we have an opportunity to change the fabric of our country. We have an opportunity to reset the table on trade. We lose billions of dollars. We lose close to...

Yeah, he's going to go all the way with this. That's what I thought. We lose a trillion dollars a year to China. Yeah, he's talking about resetting. A trillion. We lose hundreds of billions of dollars a year on trade to China. We lose hundreds of billions of dollars overall, probably close to two trillion dollars. Why would we do that?

Number one, why would we do that? And then you have to say, is it sustainable. Then you hear about all of the people that say, well, deficits. If we have a deficit with the country or if the country has a big surplus with us, like China is a massive surplus that they take and they spend on their military. Well, we don't want that. I don't want them to take $500, $600 billion a year and spend it on their military. I don't want them spending money on their military. And I shouldn't have to spend money.

We shouldn't have to spend it either because, you know, hopefully, and I said this to President Xi, hopefully it's money that we're never going to use. In other words, because we're not going to use those incredible. weapons that we have and that they have. We use them on a hoothies. We don't want that. So obviously it's going to be very interesting. It's the only chance our country will have to reset the table because no other president would be willing to do what I'm doing or to even go through it. That's probably true. I don't mind going through it because I see a beautiful picture at the end. For better or for worse. But we are making tremendous progress with a lot of countries and that countries that really took advantage of us are now saying, please negotiate. You know why? Because they're getting beaten

badly because of what's happening. They're getting beaten badly. They're being devalued as countries. But it's the only chance we're going to have to reset the table on trade. And when we do, we're going to come out unbelievably well. We're going to have a strong country economically again. And we're going to have those factories that are empty all over the United States. We've lost 90,000 plants and factories. Think of this. 90,000, you wouldn't think it's possible. 90,000 plants and factories since NAFTA, which was, by the way, the worst straight deal ever, ever developed, ever had by any country,

anywhere, NAFTA. And I terminated NAFTA. Everybody said it would be impossible. And I terminated it through Congress. We terminated it. You had to get it through Congress. It was a trap. It was a horrible thing.

And we got it done. And we went to the U.S. MCA, which was much. better. The problem is they cheat. They cheat like crazy. Canada cheats, Mexico cheats, just one of those things. Just one of those things. We are resetting a table and we're gonna have great trade and we're gonna have a very strong country. Our country is gonna be in a level that it's as maybe never been or maybe, you know, our country was the strongest, believe it or not, from 1870 to 1913. You know why? It was all tariff based. We had no income tax.

Then in 1913, some genius came up with the idea of let's charge the people of our country, not foreign countries that are ripping off our country. And the country was never relatively was never that. So we're going to get rid of income tax? We had so much wealth. We didn't know what to do with our money. Okay. We had meetings.

We had committees. And these committees works tirelessly to study one subject. We have so much money. What are we going to do with it? Who are we going to give? and I hope we're going to be in that position again. To reduce the tariffs that your government put on Israeli goods, 17% where?

Oh, Well, we're talking about a whole new trade. Maybe not, maybe not. Don't forget, we help Israel a lot. You know, we give Israel $4 billion a year. That's a lot. I congratulations, by the way. That's pretty good.

But we give Israel billions of dollars a year. billions. So this is how we're getting the money back by tariffing them? We give a lot of, we give a lot of countries money. You wouldn't believe if I said, we give Afghanistan a lot of money, because that was a Biden deal, another Biden deal. Not only did he embarrass us with that, but they give them billions of dollars, Afghanistan, right? So, but no, we take good care of our friends and we don't take care of our enemies. We're not taking care of our enemies anymore, but we do take care of our friends. So the tariffs aren't going away.

The U.S. The U.S.S. is fighting to get in the Gaza Strip. I myself might be called up in a month. Do you think that's the way to pressure Kamaas to get to a deal? And do you think blocking humanitarian aid is also an effective pressure? Well, you know how I feel about the Gaza Strip? I think it's an incredible piece of important real estate.

And I think it's something that we would be involved in. But, you know, having a peace force like the United States there, controlling and owning the Gaza Strip would be a good thing. thing because right now all it is is years and years all I hear about is killing and Hamas and problems and if you take the people the Palestinians move them around to different countries and you have plenty of countries that will do that so we're just and what you really have a freedom just freedom zone you call it the freedom zone a free zone as the zone where people aren't going to be

killed every day that's a hell of the freedom zone it's a you know what I call it all right that nobody wants to live in because they really don't. And when they have good living, real living, where Hamas and all of the problems, the level of death on the Gaza Strip is just incredible. And I've said it.

I don't understand why Israel ever gave it up. Israel owned it. It wasn't this man so I can say it. He wouldn't have given it up. I know him very well. There's no way. They took ocean front property and they gave it to people for peace.

How did that work out? Not good. Is the immigration plan still on the agenda? Which immigration? From Gaza. From Gaza. All it is is a concept that I had that I think is good. And now people are copying it.

You know, maybe you want to tell people are talking about the Trump plan. Gee, why do we do that? Would you like to answer that question? I think what the president talked about is, first one, to give people a choice. You know, Gaza, Gazans were closed in. closed in. And every other place, including in arenas of battle, I mean, whether it's Ukraine or Syria or any other place, people could leave. Yeah. Gaza was the only place where they locked them in. We didn't lock them in. They're locked in. And what is wrong with giving people a choice?

Now, we've been talking, including over lunch, about some countries, I won't go into them right now, that are saying, you know, if Gazans want to leave, we want to take them in. And I think this is the right thing to do. Okay. If you give, you know, it's going to take years to rebuild Gaza. In the meantime, people can have an option. The president has a vision. Countries are responding to that vision.

We're working on it. I hope we'll have good news for you. Yeah. Somebody says he's the same level as Hitler. People really do love that vision. It's a long-term vision. Is that it? So importantly is to have that be a safe field

because you're right smack in the middle of the middle-eastern. You're right along Israel. It should have never, ever been given away. Shouldn't have been given away by Israel. I don't know why they did it. I mean, I do know why, because they were promised peace, but that didn't work out too well. Because it's one of the most dangerous pieces of land anywhere in the world.

Gaza is one of the most dangerous places in the world. So they gave it away for good intention, and it didn't work out that way. A lot of people like my concept, but, you know, there are other concepts that I like, too. And there's some concepts I don't like. You know what I don't like the way it is now? Yeah.

Right now it's a dangerous death trap, Gaza. Yeah. Thank you, sir. Can you talk a little bit about your meeting, potential meeting with Vladimir Putin? Do you still plan to meet with him? Could that happen in Saudi Arabia? And maybe could I elaborate as well a little bit on not on tariffs on Russia, sir?

So the reason we're not talking about tariffs with Russia is because we're not doing business essentially with Russia. with Russia because they're in a war. And I'm not happy about what's going on with the bombing. Because they're bombing like crazy right now. They're bombing. I don't know what's happening there. That's not a good situation. So we're meeting with Russia.

We're meeting with Ukraine. And we're getting sort of close. But I'm not happy with all the bombing that's going on the last week or so. Horrible. It's a horrible thing. It's a horrible thing. in terms of

can't say in terms of tariffs? Probably not, right? We've been ripped off and taken advantage of for 40, 50 tariffs. If he capitulates at all, people, it makes them look weak. Yeah, he won't say it. It was at $507 billion they would make it. I call it making a lot of people say, oh,

It doesn't mean anything. Having a surplus means a lot, in my opinion. It's almost like a profit or loss statement. And when I took over, it was $507 billion that China was, this is originally first term. And we were very, very tough on them because they were taking that money and they were building a military with it. Then when Biden came in, he let him get away with murder.

He had no idea. I'll tell you what, that man had no idea what was happening, whether it was the border or China or anything else. Oh, geez. No idea what was going on. Yeah. And they got, they went wild. China went wild.

And the money they make is ridiculous, okay? It's just not going to happen. And hopefully we'll get along with China. If we do, that's great. And if we don't, that's okay, too. But we can't let that continue because that's a, that's an abuse. They abused the poor people that sat in the seat. That poor Biden, he was abused by them.

Oh, God. Playing a sympathy card. You know, they have. smart people. They were radical left lunatics, but they're smart. I'm surprised they'd allow that to take, you know, to happen. But we are going to bring great trade and we're going to be fair to other countries. And I will say this, virtually every country wants to negotiate. If I didn't do what I did over the last couple of weeks, you wouldn't have anybody wants to negotiate. We would have gone to these countries who want to talk and they were, well, we don't

want to talk. Now they're coming to us. They're offering things like even BB. This is unrelated because it's a different kind of a relationship. But he started off our conversation today that he's cutting all of the tariffs. He's cutting everything. He's going to get down to a free base. He's going to do things that. All right. In fairness, other countries, if they said that, would have never even thought about doing it. Now they're offering things to us that we would have never even thought of asking them for. because they're experiencing a lot of hurt. And the hurt is that they've taken advantage of us and we finally fought back. Tariffs will make this country very rich. We're rich anyway, but we're rich in a certain way. We're gonna be super rich.

We have $36 trillion in debt. I wanna get rid of it. And we can do it quickly with proper deals. So when countries don't allow us to sell our product, but we allow them to sell their product, when they charge us massive amounts of money for the privilege of going into their country, those days are over. Okay.

That's the question? Go ahead. Me? Me? Yeah. Thank you, Mr. President. On Iran, two questions, please. First, we can give us more details about where the meeting will be going to take place.

I can just tell you there's a major meeting going on between us and Iran. It's coming up. And that'll take place on Saturday, and it's at top level. And the second question about this, a lot of people think that those talks are not going to lead anywhere because the Iranians will never be up. Maybe you're right. If diplomacy fails, is the United States under your leadership

ready to take military action to destroy the Iranian nuclear program and move this threat? I think if the talks aren't successful with Iran, I think Iran is going to be in great danger, and I hate to say it, great danger, because they can't have a nuclear weapon. You know, it's not a complicated formula. Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. That's all there is. Can't have it.

Right now we have nuclear power that shouldn't have it. Okay. But I'm sure we'll be able to negotiate out of that, too, as part of this later on down the line. But Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. And if the talks aren't successful, I actually think it'll be a very bad day for Iran, if that's the case. Yeah. Mr. President. Mr. President, was October 7th the death blow of the two-state solution?

And would you consider classifying the Palestinian authorities, a terrorist organization for its continued paper slate terror financing payments? Damn. So October 7th was a horrible day that some people, they deny it. Now, I can't believe they deny it from the standpoint of it. They do it because they think it's good politically. Yeah. But October, I've seen the tapes.

I've seen things that you don't want to see. October 7th was a horrible day. And we'll go down as one of the really bad days in the history of the world. It was a horrible, horrible thing that happened. And they grabbed some of these people. I'll give you an example. When I was with the 10 hostages a few weeks ago, I said, so how many are there, 59?

I said, oh, so 59, so we can get 59. They sort of knew the territory pretty good. And I said, how are they doing? They said, well, only 24 are living. The rest are dead. That's not good. And these are young people. How does that happen?

Young people don't die. You know, young people have an amazing ability to live. They can live through horrible things. What could it have been? But these are young people. And when they said that 24 are living and the rest are dead. And you know, I've had parents come up, Israeli parents, largely. We have some Americans, and we had, I guess we have one left.

Alex, we have the one left. But I've had Israeli parents come up to me at events and say, my son is there. I said, well, how's he doing? Well, he's dead. But would you do me the biggest favor ever? Could you bring his body back home? They talked about a young dead boy and a young, dead girl like they were living. And that could have something to do with religion. That could

have something to do with, I guess maybe any parent would be, but I was surprised. They said, sir, my son is dead. It is just as important to bring that body back home. I asked that question, as if he were alive. So you have a lot of them dead and we'll be able to bring them back. but it's a horrible thing that's happened these are largely young people some old words too frankly and those people have lived in hell when they came off the second group that came out

they looked like they got captured by terrorists a concentration game exactly like the pictures and I see from the 1940s the concentration camps Nazis and then they got a little bit

they were real bad you know but that second group those people came out and I said this is unbelievable we're going back into a chapter in history that is one of the worst average. Real bad guys. Two years to get American manufacturing fully up to speed

in response to these terrorists. So Iran's going to have a bad day? Should Americans be prepared for years? I'll tell you what happens. We have now seven trillion dollars. Think of this, seven trillion of commitments from companies wanting to go in from Apple to many, many companies.

Many, many companies. Many from Taiwan. Yeah. What? It takes time to... Question. Are you asking me a question? Are you telling me?

Yeah, it takes time. You know, you got to build a thing called the factory. You have to build your energy. Bro, is that Yahoo sitting there laughing at her? I'm giving them energy. You know, we're going to let them build their own power plants. They'll be their own... Essentially, they're going to be in charge of the power plant because our power is not reliable enough.

You have a grid that's old and susceptible to a lot of things, including by bombing and weather and a lot of other things. And we're going to give them record timing in terms of approvals of electric plants. Most of them want to build electric plants. We need massive amounts of electricity if we're going to compete with China and others. And interestingly, we're way ahead right now in the AI race with China. But the way we lose that race is if we can't give them electric. With ethics.

But we have more plants being built. We have everything we're doing so great. And we want to keep it that way. will be an important part of it. But one of the other things, Lee's Eldon's doing a fantastic job, head of environmental protection, and he's doing very rapid approvals for people to get, for big companies that are going to build a plant that's going to cost billions of dollars, and we're going to get them, their approvals. They have to be

environmentally perfect, everything good, but they're going to be in record time, a matter of months versus a matter of many, many years. Damn. Yeah, Lisa Rossovsky from Haarets. Turkey claims it will stabilize the situation in Syria. Turkey can't even stabilize its own situation. Israel doesn't want Turkey to influence it in Syria. What do you think?

Do you think Turkey's influence in Syria can actually make it a better, more peaceful country or vice versa? Well, I have great relations with a man named Erdogan. Have you heard of him? And I happen to like him and he likes me and I know the press will get very much. very angry. He likes her to want, but I do, and he likes me, and we've never had a problem, and we've gone through a lot, and we've never had a problem. It always got... Oh, he's just saying that. As you remember, we got our minister back from Turkey. You remember that? And this was a big deal

at the time, and we got them back. And I told the prime minister, I said, just, baby, if you have a problem with Turkey, I really think I're going to be able to work it out. You know, I have a very, very good relationship. with Turkey and with their leader. And I think we'll be able to work it out. So I hope that's not going to be a problem. I don't think it will be a problem. Now, with that being said, I believe it was Turkey. And I said that to him.

I said it. I said, congratulations. You've done what nobody has been able to do in 2,000 years. You've taken over Syria with different names. But same thing. I said, you've taken it over. He's taken it over through surrogates. He goes, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

it was not me. I said it was you, but that's okay. You don't have to say, well, I've sort of made me was me. Okay. But what he did, he's a tough guy, and he's very smart, and he did something that nobody was able to do. You know, you've got to hand it to him. Any problem that you have with Turkey, I think I can solve. I mean, as long as you're reasonable, you have to be reasonable. We have to be reasonable. Thank you very much, everybody. Man. Thank you. Head out that door.

Thank you, press. Thanks, guys. Well. Steve. Man. I tried to get a question in. Have a good day. Thanks, guys.

Keep going. Screw Israel. I mean, he kept the tariff on Israel. He didn't say he's getting rid of it. Yeah, he didn't. He didn't say he getting rid of that at all. So I was actually kind of surprised. but yeah iran so so they're meeting with iran and if iran doesn't do what we want iran's going to have a

really bad day that's the uh that's the messaging here okay well um they're gonna have they're just going to have a really bad day it's not going to be good for them well um okay i guess we're going to find out and uh yeah don't be surprised and iran will do what you want i mean i don't know like i have no idea what's going to happen with this i have no no clue but uh you're Yeah, it's always been the messaging. I guess so, right?
