00:00 The Press: Mr. Speaker, Mr. President?

00:04 The President: A lot of people have been calling me,

00:05 Madam Speaker.

00:07 All I can say is we'll do whatever is best for the country

00:10 and for the Republican Party.

00:11 We have some great people.

00:13 I just want to say we have some great, great people.

00:17 The Press: Would you take the job?

00:18 The President: A lot of people have asked me about it.

00:20 I'm focused.

00:21 You know, we're leading -- I don't know if you --

00:22 I'm sure you don't read too much.

00:24 But we're leading by, like, 50 points per President.

00:30 My focus is totally on that.

00:32 If I can help them during the process, then we'll do it.

00:35 But we have some great people in the Republican Party

00:37 that could do a great job as Speaker.

00:39 The Press: Well, what about --

00:40 The Press: Well, I heard you had a phone call

00:41 for your new Speaker yesterday.

00:42 The President: I think she's a wonderful woman, if I'm being --

00:45 a lot of wonderful people over there, too.

00:47 I'll do whatever it is to help.

00:49 But my focus, my total focus, is being President

00:53 and, quite honestly, making America great again.

00:57 Because we are living in a country in decline.

01:00 This is a country that's failing badly.

01:02 We're not respected in the world.

01:05 Interest rates are through the roof.

01:06 Taxes are through the roof.

01:07 Inflation is horrible.

01:09 What it's done to us, it's eating us alive.

01:12 Energy is now over $5.

01:15 I was at $1.87.

01:18 It's over $5.

01:19 What's happened to our country with Afghanistan,

01:22 that horrible removal, the most embarrassing moment,

01:26 I think, in our country's history.

01:28 So, I'm running for President.

01:30 I'm up by 40 and 50 points and more in some cases.

01:35 But whatever I can do to help with regard to Speaker is good.

01:40 By the way, I'm also leading Biden by a lot.

01:42 If I wasn't, I wouldn't have trials like this.

01:44 Thank you very much.
