00:00We've had some pretty good news coming out of Russia.

00:05We're hearing good things, who knows, but we're hearing good things.

00:09They're in a very strong position militarily with quite a few Ukrainian soldiers, but hopefully

00:17nothing will happen with that.

00:20I've asked them not to let anything happen and I think, I hope that nothing happens.

00:26But I feel that Russia is going to make a deal with us, I hope.

00:34We've spoken with President Putin, we've spoken with a lot of people and Ukraine is waiting.

00:43I'm very concerned about the field, in the field there is a very vulnerable group of

00:48Ukrainian soldiers right now that are actually surrounded and that's not good because we

00:55don't want them to die, enough people have died.

00:59So we'll see what happens with regard to all of it, but I'm getting from the standpoint

01:06about a ceasefire and ultimately a deal, some pretty good vibes coming out of Russia.

01:11Any questions?

01:12Mr. President, what do you think about the Senate vote on the CR?

01:13What was the vote?

01:14They just voted to advance it.

01:15What?

01:16They just voted to advance it.

01:17Good.

01:18That's good.

01:19I mean, I was told that that was what was going to happen, very good.

01:29And I appreciate Senator Schumer and I think he did the right thing, really, I'm very impressed

01:36by that.

01:37Mr. President, walk us through the CR.

01:38The situation in Gaza, Mr. President, obviously you're concerned, you're concerned about the

01:45situation in Gaza.

01:47What are the hopes now to get the hostages back?

01:51She just became a big story tonight, right?

01:53Yes, sir.

01:54Did you see that?

01:55What?

01:56In Gaza, sir.

01:57The situation, what is your hope now for a hostage release?

02:04I hope that it all works out.

02:07You're talking about Israel though, right?

02:10We're very much into negotiations with regard to the hostages and Israel and we're going

02:15to have to see what happens, we'll see what happens, hopefully it'll work out.

02:20It's a very complex situation, there's tremendous hatred at levels that nobody's ever seen before,

02:26yeah?

02:27Mr. President, walk us through the tariffs and why it will be financially beneficial

02:30for America.

02:31We know the Australians will not do reciprocal tariffs, but can you walk us through this

02:35whole process and how it will bring wealth back to the United States?

02:37Well, it's going to bring tremendous wealth back and it was tariffs used in reverse that

02:43really brought our country to a position that we don't ever want to be in again.

02:48And when somebody is treating us badly, we're going to put tariffs on, they're going to

02:52be very fair, they're going to be fair and reciprocal, and our country is going to come

02:58back very, very strong.

02:59I think our country is going to come roaring back, the tariffs are a big deal.

03:04And frankly, that's how China does it and that's how a lot of other people do it.

03:09And we do it better than them, but we never had a president that knew how to do it.

03:13Thank you very much, everybody.

03:14Thank you, sir.
