00:00Mr. President, I'd say that your DOJ is weaponizing with the arrest of a congresswoman,
00:07a Democratic congresswoman.
00:08Oh, give me a break. Did you see her? She was out of control.
00:10You know, those days are over. The days of woke, the days of woke, no, I didn't.
00:15The days of woke are over. That woman, I don't, I have no idea who she is.
00:20That woman was out of control. She was shoving federal agents. She was out of control.
00:25The days of that crap are over in this country. We're going to have law and order.
00:28Mr. President, thank you very much. You campaigned on lowering the price of groceries.
00:33How do you justify cutting food assistance in this bill?
00:36Let me just tell you, the cut is going to give everybody much more food because prices are coming way down.
00:42Groceries are down. Eggs. You told me about eggs. You asked me a question about eggs my first week.
00:46You said eggs. I said, I just got here. Tell me about eggs.
00:50And it was going through the road. If you know that eggs now, way down.
00:53Everybody's buying eggs. Groceries down. Energy's down.
00:57Groceries down. Gasoline is now buying, they're buying gasoline now for $1.99.
01:02What I, if you look back, you'll see $3.50, $4.
01:07This country, we're going to lose this country.
01:09Our country now is respected all over the world.
01:12All over the world we're respected. We were a laughing stock.
01:15The entire world was, we were a laughing stock.
01:18I went to the Middle East.
01:19And those rulers of those three countries are very powerful people, very big people, very rich people.
01:25They respect our country again.
01:27China was going to take them over.
01:28You know, China was going to get all, they were going to get into the, if you look, Saudi Arabia.
01:34You take a little look at what was happening with Qatar, UAE.
01:39Great people, unbelievable people, unbelievable leaders.
01:43But they were abandoned by this country.
01:46And they're not going to China anymore.
01:48They love us, we love them.
01:50We're going to take care of them.
01:51And they're going to take care of us.
01:53We came back with $5.1 trillion.
01:55Trillion.
01:56Every other president would have come back having spent $5.1 trillion, as usual.
02:02And remember this, we were losing $5 billion a day under the past administration.
02:11I have to be a little careful the way I talk, because there's a lot of anger about that administration.
02:17And by the way, you ought to, the real question, who ran the auto pen?
02:21Okay, who ran the auto pen?
02:22Because the things that were signed were signed illegally, in my opinion.
02:28I think we've just proved that.
02:29But our country is respected, and all over the world were respected.
02:33We were laughed at seven months ago.
02:35Then you had November 5th, and our country is respected again.
