He had Cash Patel and Pam Bondi there. Let me just bring out the receipts of what went down. Donald Trump says that in Chicago

you have lots of black women walking around in Maga hats. He said all these black women love him in their Maga hats and that's what you see in Chicago now. Here play this clip. Mr. President, on Venezuelan's votes, I want to ask you, you, why not have the Coast Guard stop them, which is empowered by a law to do? You know, this way you can confirm who's on the boat and ensure that they're doing what they would suspect. Because we've been doing that for 30 years, and it has been totally ineffective. They have faster boats. Some of these boats are seriously, I mean, they're world-class speed boats, but they're not faster than missiles. But we've been trying to do that for years. And so much of

the drugs, 25, 30% would come in through the seas. Right now, we have, I would say, none coming in through the seas. In fact, I don't know about the fishing industry. If you want to go fishing, a lot of people aren't deciding to even go fishing. We've almost totally stopped it by sea. Now we'll stop it by land. What's the next? But it never worked. It never worked when, you know, when you did it in a very politically correct manner. Then Donald Trump is asked, well, why don't you try to find out who the people are are on these fishing boats that you're blowing up in the Caribbean and Venezuela and Colombia, don't you want to make sure that they're actually, I don't know, like the bad guys and like

even if they are, why are we killing them? Isn't that against international law? Isn't that a war crime? Then Donald Trump says, I don't really care about that. Here, play this clip. Mr. President, on Venezuelan's votes, I want to ask you, why not have the Coast Guard stop them, which it is empowered by law to do. You know, this way you can confirm he's on the boat and ensure that they're doing what they would suspect. Because we've been doing that for 30 years,

and it has been totally ineffective. They have faster boats. Some of these boats are seriously, I mean, they're world-class speed boats, but they're not faster than missiles. But we've been trying to do that for years, and so much of the drugs, 25, 30 percent would come in through the seas. Now we have, I would say, none coming in through the seas. In fact, I don't know about the fishing industry. If you want to go fishing, a lot of people aren't deciding to even go fishing. We've almost totally stopped it by sea. Now we'll stop it by land.

What's the next step? But it never worked. It never worked when, you know, when you did it in a very politically correct manner. Then he starts talking about the Oval Office and how much gold is there and how beautiful it looks. It actually looks like a grotesque golden bordella. looks so anti-American. And if you look behind him, you'll see there's a map. He wants to build a gigantic, triumphant arch. I think it's called the way Hitler wanted to build one in Germania. That's what Trump's focus is on right now. By the way, $40 billion now has gone to Argentina.

It's up from $20 billion. $40 billion to Argentina as 20 million Americans lose their health care, as Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans have shut down government. Watch this. Beautiful Oval Office. It never looked so nice. We're getting great compliments. And you see outside how that's come out. It's been great. We make a lot of improvements to the White House, and we're doing that.

One of the things you should be looking at is the pomp court because that's been totally redone. So we like to preserve and make better the White House. And that's really what's happened and we're getting tremendous reviews and we appreciate it. Then Donald Trump has this weird line about Stephen Miller and that, not just gross here playing this clip. Didn't get elected. I did get elected for crime, but I didn't get elected for what we're doing.

This is many, many steps above. And I want to thank Stephen Miller, who's right back in the audience right there. I'd love to have him. I love watching him on television. I'd love to have him come up and explain his true feelings. Maybe not his truest feelings.

That might be going a little bit too far. But Stephen, thank you for doing an unbelievable job. And the people of this country love you. I'll tell you. and they love what you say about crime and stopping crime. Next, Donald Trump, I don't even know what he's saying. This is like the ultimate cognitive glitching. He goes, there are great cities that can be fixed.

I will strongly recommend San Francisco. I think we can make San Francisco like it was 15 years ago. First of what the hell are you talking about? Number one, number two, San Francisco is actually making a massive, massive revival right now under the mayor there. So anyway, here, play this clip of Trump. And we have some cities like that, but these are great cities that could be fixed. I'm going to be strongly recommending at the request of government officials, which is always nice, that you start looking at San Francisco.

I think we can make San Francisco. There's one of our great cities 10 years ago, 15 years ago, now it's a mess. And we have great support in San Francisco. So I'd like to recommend that for inclusion, maybe in your next group. You'll get great support. every American deserves. And then it just gets weirder after that. Let me show you what he says over here.

Let's play it. Okay. I want it very big the last time. And I want it big the first time. And I want it big the second time. But we had criminals that didn't allow. I mean, I hope they're going to go into that. I hope they go into the votes which are being stored in Fulton County and take a look at

a real look at those votes. Okay. Because I want it the second time too. I know it's so beyond odd continues. This was one of the strange. moments of the presser let's play it by the way you won georgia three times just you agree with me i do for someone that he's a lot of time in georgia i believe you won that i really have a question you know the word believe isn't strong enough you know

it's true i know i want too then a reporter says so are you going to start doing military strikes on land against people that you claim our cartels? Listen to what Trump says. Let's play it. What's the next step in this war on cartels? And are you considering options or are you considering strikes on land? Well, I don't want to tell you exactly, but we are certainly looking at land now because we've got the sea very well under control.

We've had a couple of days where there isn't a boat to be found. Then that, I view that as a good thing, not a bad thing. But we had tremendous amounts coming in by boats, by very expensive boats. You know, they have a lot of money, very fast, very expensive boats that were pretty big. And then he said this, let's play it. Does the CIA have authority to take out Maduro? Oh, I don't want to answer a question like that. That's a ridiculous question for me to be given.

Not really a ridiculous question, but wouldn't it be a ridiculous question for me to answer? Then here's what he says, I got elected for crime, but I didn't get elected for what we are doing. Do you all know what the hell he's even talking about here? Here, play this clip. And make them safe. And now it's like a passion for me, and it's a passion for the people behind me. So I didn't get elected. I did get elected for crime, but I didn't get elected for what we're doing.

This is many, many steps above it. And he continues and continues. Watch this clip right here. Let's play it. As an example, if you look at Pakistan and Iran, I told them, I was in the midst of negotiating a trade deal with, actually with Iran and Pakistan was going to be in line. And because of tariffs, they all want to negotiate much differently. We'll make it a good deal. And then I heard that they're shooting at each other.

And I said during one of my conversations, are you guys going to go to war? Two nuclear powers, we are thinking about, I said, here's the deal. You go to war, I'm going to put a 200% tariff. I'm going to stop you from doing any business in the United States. I said it to both of them. Within 24 hours, the war ended. That would have been a nuclear war. and again, the Prime Minister of Pakistan, who is here.

It is a downward spiral, this thing here. And again, this is all taking place while he's demanded the Republicans. Do not talk to Democrats. Keep the government shut down. Take away people's health care. Cover up the Epstein files. Here, watch what he says right here. What we're doing is nothing.

are you kidding nothing they write stories why aren't they doing this this and we'll leave i i don't have to leave it up to them but i choose to at this moment at least but there's never been anybody treated in the history of politics and uh then he said this let's play it and i hope that everybody's you know they're involved in it i'm not i'm the one that had to suffer through it and ultimately win but what they did was criminal deranged jack smith in my opinion is a criminal and i noticed his his interviewer was i think that was weissman and i hope they're going to look into weissman too weissman's a bad guy and he had somebody in lisa who was his puppet worked in the office uh really as the top person and i think that uh she should be looked at very strongly

There was tremendous criminal activity having to do it. If we don't have fair elections in this country, we're not going to have a country. And I've said it from the beginning, fair elections and borders. And we need also fair press because if you don't have fair press, it's very tough. And we've got the strongest border of anybody. Nobody has a border. We have a border where the numbers just came out again. You saw zero people came in illegally.

Now, we do take people into our country legally, but zero people. But, you know, you're talking about a different subject. You're talking about political crime. They have committed massive political crime. I hope they're looking at Shifty Shiff. I hope they're looking at all these people. And I'm allowed to find out. I'm allowed to, you know, I'm in theory, the chief law enforcement officer.

But I have a very good, talented group. This is about something else. But I hope they're looking at political crime because there's never been so much political crime against a political opponent as what I had to go through. More from Trump. This was a strange moment. Let's play it. Mr. President, you're meeting with President Xi in a few weeks. If you can't come to an agreement or a deal at that meeting, are we in for a sustained trade war with China?

Well, you're in one now. Look, we have 100% tariff. If we didn't have tariffs, we would be exposed as being a nothing. We would have no defense. You know, they've used tariffs on us, but we've never had anybody sitting in that chair that felt the need to do it. And continue showing you things from this disastrous presser. Let me show you this right here. Let's play it. I mean, they call him Darth Vader, but he's actually a very nice person, Russell Vote. But Russell Vote is really terminating tremendous numbers of Democrat projects. Let me show you a few more clips of what went down just so you get the full, uh, the first.

full extent so corporate news doesn't pretend this is normal here let's play this clip right here but he was forced to do it by the democrats and as far as the shutdown's concerned this is a democrat schumer shutdown and he's trying to do it to get relevance back into the party because he's a loser i've known him all his life he's always been sort of a loser but an intelligent one but i think he's losing IQ points with time i think that happens i hope it hasn't happened with me i know if it did you guys will let me know about it very quickly and then finally here's uh what he said i could show you many more but you get it let's play this clip yeah on that issue i know you've talked about i have question for you and then i also have a question for director hotel i know you talked about

having some uh distaste for boston recently is this one of the cities that you might be looking into and can you give us a hint about other cities that you might be you're saying for where for boston yeah well boston has a a bad mayor who at least is a reasonable IQ person. You know, most of them are low IQ, but, and they're so bad. I mean, what's going on in Chicago is just, you think the guy would say, hey, look, we have a problem, Mr. President. Could you come in and straighten it out? I could have that, we could have that done in a month if we had their cooperation. It's going to be done anyway, but we could have it done in a month. Yeah, Boston, she's got four areas that are, you know, wrong. And, you know,

somebody said, would we think about taking the World Cup away from Boston if they don't straighten it out? The answer is yes, we have the right to do that with FIFA. So if we think that L.A. is going to be bad, or we think that applies a little bit to the Olympics, too, but we'll talk about FIFA first. You know, FIFA is very hot. If we think there's any reason that, whether it's Boston or anywhere else, that they're not doing their job, we're going to take those World Cup Games and move them someplace else.
