00:01See you on the plane.

00:03The original planes?

00:05They travel.

00:06Most of them, yeah.

00:07They have better seats than I do.

00:09What are your goals for NATO and Article 5 today?

00:15We're with them all the way.

00:17I mean, if you take a look at the numbers, we're with them.

00:19And they're very big things to announce today.

00:21I don't know if you've taken the vote or you're going to take the vote,

00:24but I've been asking them to go up to 5 percent for a number of years,

00:28and they're going up to 5 percent.

00:30That's a big – from 2 percent.

00:33And a lot of people didn't even pay the 2 percent.

00:36So I think that's going to be very big news.

00:38NATO is going to become very strong with us, and I appreciate doing it.

00:43Perhaps you want to talk about it.

00:44Yeah, absolutely.

00:45Let me first, before we go to the spending,

00:47I just want to recognize your decisive action on Iran.

00:52You are a man of strength, but you're also a man of peace.

00:56And the fact that you are now also successful in getting this ceasefire done between Israel and Iran,

01:02I really want to commend you for that.

01:04Thank you very much.

01:05And I think this is important for the whole world.

01:07Then on spending, it's absolutely true.

01:09I want to state here, without President Trump, this would not have happened.

01:14In three stages.

01:15When you became President in 2016, 2017, you forced Europeans and Canadians to pay more.

01:21At this moment, the result of that phase is one trillion extra aggregate defense spending by the Canadians and the Europeans.

01:29Then came phase two, when you became President in January last year.

01:32Phase two is that all the countries, not yet on 2 percent, have now committed to the 2 percent.

01:37This is the old goal from Wales in 2014.

01:40Seven were not on 2 percent.

01:41Some were saying somewhere in the 2030s.

01:44Now this year, all of them, including Canada, including Italy, including Belgium, they have all now committed to the 2 percent.

01:50And now comes the big splash.

01:52Today, we will decide to go to 5 percent.

01:55We have to keep ourselves safe from our adversaries.

01:58But also because it is fair to equalize with the United States.

02:03With this 5 percent, the Europeans and the Canadians will equalize their defense spending with the United States.

02:10So this is not about American taxpayers paying more.

02:13This is about Europeans, Canadians paying more.

02:16And again, this would not have happened.

02:18I'm really saying this here.

02:19And some people might criticize me.

02:21But then when I speak with them, they all say, yes, you're right.

02:24This would not have happened if you would not have been elected in 2016 and re-elected last year and back into office in January.

02:31So I want to thank you.

02:32Well, thank you very much.

02:33It's a great victory for everybody, I think.

02:35And we will be equalized very shortly.

02:38And that's the way it has to be.

02:39It's going to be a lot of money too, a lot of defense.

02:42Trillions extra.

02:43Yeah.

02:44And we have a great relationship.

02:45And we've had a great relationship from the beginning.

02:48Highly respected man.

02:49And yeah, we appreciate you being here too, everybody.

02:53We really do.

02:54We have a tremendous group of people on my left and a tremendous group of people on my right.

02:58They might be even better than my people.

03:00I know.

03:01Let's have a fight.

03:03Let's figure it out.

03:05Anyway, but we appreciate it.

03:07And we've had a tremendous relationship, Mark and I.

03:10Absolutely.

03:11And we've really worked on this subject for a long time.

03:14And when Biden was here, it just died.

03:16It just died like everything else died.

03:19And now it's, you're going to take, I guess, a vote today, right?

03:22Absolutely.

03:23Today we will decide unanimously to do this.

03:25That's my absolute conviction.

03:27So we can't talk about it until the vote's taken because sometimes, you know, strange things happen.

03:33But I think you're going to get…

03:34I'm not too worried.

03:35I'm not too worried.

03:36I think you're going to do very well.

03:37Everyone's very happy about it.

03:38Go ahead.

03:39Yes.

03:40Mr. President, how is the Iran-Israel ceasefire going, in your opinion?

03:42I think very good.

03:43I think very good.

03:44Israel came back yesterday.

03:46I was so proud of them because they came back.

03:48You know, they went out because they felt there was a violation.

03:51And technically, they were right.

03:53But it just wouldn't have worked out very well.

03:56And they brought the planes back.

03:58They had gone on to another journey because there was a little bit of a violation.

04:02And I said, you've got to get them back.

04:04And they came back, and it was a great thing.

04:06And it's going very well.

04:08Mr. President, what is your response to the foreign minister saying

04:11who still wants to enrich you here?

04:13Hello, Katie.

04:14She's so great, this one.

04:16Any questions she asks, I'll answer.

04:18Well, maybe I better not say that.

04:20What was your question?

04:21What is your response to the Iranian foreign minister continuing to say

04:25Iran will enrich uranium and pursue nuclear weapons?

04:28Well, I don't know if they've said that.

04:29But I'll tell you, the last thing they want to do is enrich anything right now.

04:32They want to recover.

04:33And we won't let that happen, number one.

04:36Militarily, we won't.

04:38I think we'll end up having somewhat of a relationship with Iran.

04:41I see it.

04:42Look, I've had a relationship over the last four days.

04:44They agreed to the ceasefire.

04:46And it was a very equal agreement.

04:48They both said that's enough.

04:49They both said it.

04:50But, no, they won't do that.

04:52The last thing they want to do, Katie, is enrich.

04:55They're not looking to — they're not — can you imagine, after all that,

04:59they're going to say, oh, let's go and do a bomb.

05:02You know, there could be a day in the future, and then somebody else taking our place will be saying, don't do it.

05:09And maybe they won't do it as well.

05:11I don't know.

05:12But they're not going to have a bomb, and they're not going to enrich.

05:15And we believe all of the stuff is down there.

05:17We don't think they had nearly the time, because to get that out is a very difficult thing.

05:20It's not like — it's not like moving a package or taking this carpet up and moving it.

05:24It's very difficult.

05:25It's very dangerous to do — we believe it's all down there.

05:28We had a tremendous victory, a tremendous hit.

05:33And because of that, they — I don't think they would have been down there, because they knew we were coming.

05:38When they knew we were coming, they're not going to be down in that, you know, 30 stories underground.

05:42So, no, I think it was just a tremendous victory for everybody, including Iran.

05:48Look, you know, they've got a country, and they've got oil, and they're very smart people, and they can come back.

05:54Israel got hit very hard, especially the last couple of days.

05:58Israel was hit really hard.

06:00Those ballistic missiles, boy, they took out a lot of buildings.

06:04And they've been great.

06:06Bibi Netanyahu should be very proud of himself.

06:09And they've really been great.

06:11But they're not going to be building bombs for a long time.

06:14Mr. President, what's your reaction to the intelligence reports saying that the Iranian nuclear sites were only partially devastated?

06:23Yeah, well, they said it was — actually, the report said — it could have been very — they don't know.

06:29I mean, they did a report.

06:31I could have Pete talk to it, because his department did the report.

06:35They really don't know.

06:36I think Israel is going to be telling us very soon, because Bibi is going to have people involved in that whole situation.

06:44We hear it was obliteration.

06:46It was a virtual obliteration.

06:47When you take a look at the ground above — don't forget, the flame is all underground.

06:51But everything above, if you look at the before and the after picture, everything above is burned black.

06:57The trees, everything.

06:59There's one building, but that's a building that sunk substantially into the granite.

07:03So that, you know, the fire goes right over it.

07:06It was — I believe it was total obliteration.

07:09I believe they didn't have a chance to get anything out, because we acted fast.

07:13If it would have taken two weeks, maybe.

07:15But it's very hard to remove that kind of material.

07:18Very hard and very dangerous for them to remove it.

07:21Plus, they knew we were coming.

07:23And if they know we're coming, they're not going to be down there.

07:26There aren't too many people that are going to be down there.

07:28Pete, do you have something to say about that?

07:30Well, Mr. President, when you talk to the people who built the bombs, understand what those bombs can do, and deliver those bombs,

07:37they landed precisely where they were supposed to, so it was a flawless mission.

07:41Flawless.

07:42Right down where we knew they needed to enter.

07:45And given the 30,000 pounds of explosives and capability of those munitions,

07:49it was devastation underneath Fordell.

07:52And the amount of munitions — six per location — any assessment that tells you it was something otherwise

07:58is speculating with other motives.

08:01And we know that, because when you actually look at the report — by the way, it was a top-secret report —

08:06it was preliminary, it was low confidence.

08:09All right, so this isn't — you make assessments based on what you know.

08:13And they said it could be very devastating, very serious.

08:15Moderate to severe, and we believe far more likely severe and obliterated.

08:20So this is a political motive here.

08:22Is there a leak investigation?

08:23Of course.

08:24We're doing a leak investigation with the FBI right now, because this information is for internal purposes,

08:29battle damage assessments, and CNN and others are trying to spin it to make the president look bad

08:34when this was an overwhelming success.

08:36We had — we had a tremendous success, and this is the New York Times.

08:39I call it the failing New York Times.

08:41It's going to hell.

08:42And CNN, which, as you know, very few people are watching.

08:45And you would think they'd do the opposite.

08:48You would think they'd want to say, this was an unbelievable success.

08:51And the thing that hurts me is it's really demeaning to the pilots and the people that put that whole thing together,

08:57the operas — the generals.

08:59That was a perfect operation.

09:01And when you look at the holes — and this was done from 52,000 feet.

09:05There was no moon.

09:06There was no light.

09:07And they — those three holes are right together.

09:10And also — and nobody talks about this — we shot 30 tomahawks from submarines,

09:16in particular one submarine, but that was 400 miles away.

09:20And every one of those tomahawks hit within a foot of where they were supposed to hit,

09:25took out a lot of buildings that Israel wasn't able to get.

09:29We took them out with tomahawks.

09:30We don't even talk about that.

09:32This was a devastating attack, and it knocked them for a loop.

09:37And, you know, if it didn't, they wouldn't have settled.

09:40If they had — if they had won, if we didn't take it out, they wouldn't have settled.

09:44Somebody mentioned that to me last night.

09:46If that thing wasn't devastated, they would have never settled.

09:49Marco, do you have something to say?

09:50Yeah, no.

09:51First of all, on the stuff about the intelligence,

09:53this is what a leaker is telling you the intelligence says.

09:55That's the game these people play.

09:57They read it, and that's the game these people play.

09:59They read it, and then they go out and characterize it the way they want it characterized,

10:03and they're leakers.

10:04This is the game they play.

10:05So that's number one.

10:06Number two, here's a fact.

10:07The conversion facility, which you can't do a nuclear weapon without a conversion facility.

10:11You can't — we can't even find where it is, where it used to be on the map.

10:15You can't even find where it used to be, because the whole thing is just blackened out.

10:18It's gone.

10:19It's wiped out.

10:20It's wiped out.

10:21Then we drop 12 of the strongest bombs on the planet right down the hole in two places.

10:25Everything underneath that mountain is in bad shape.

10:28And I refer you to the statement of the IAEA, Mr. Grossi.

10:31You know what he said?

10:32He said there was Iran, the way it looked the day before the attack,

10:35and what their nuclear program looks like now.

10:37Two very different things.

10:39They are way behind where they were just seven days ago.

10:42Now anything in the world can be rebuilt, but now we know where it is.

10:45And if they try to rebuild it, we'll have options there as well.

10:48But all this leaker stuff, these leakers are professional stabbers.

10:51That's what they are.

10:52They go out and they read this stuff, and then they tell you what it says against the law,

10:57but they characterize it for you in a way that's absolutely false.

11:01There's no way Iran comes to the table if somehow nothing had happened.

11:04This was complete and total obliteration.

11:07They're in bad shape.

11:08They are way behind today compared to where they were just seven days ago because of what the president did.

11:12Marco, can I just alert you to one other aspect?

11:15So the great thing is you took out the nuclear capability of Iran.

11:19This was crucial.

11:20You did it in a way which is extremely impressive.

11:23But the signal sends to the rest of the world that this president, when it comes to it,

11:27yes, he is a man of peace, but if necessary, he is willing to use strength,

11:31the enormous strength of the American military.

11:34So I think that signal to the rest of the world, this is far beyond Iran, is extremely important.

11:40So let me also point us to that aspect of what happened.

11:43They went down, Iran went down to the site afterwards.

11:47They said it's so devastated, and they settled when they saw what we did to it.

11:52And frankly, if we didn't do that, they would have had a lot of ammunition to keep going.

11:56They wouldn't have settled.

11:58Somebody brought that up, and two Iranians went down to see it.

12:01And they called back, and they said, this place is gone.

12:04So it's just fake news by CNN, which has got no ratings.

12:08It's a failed network.

12:09Anybody here from CNN, by the way?

12:11Because you're a really disgraceful network.

12:14MSNBC, I think, is actually worse.

12:16But they're all pretty bad.

12:17But yours is good, Katie, I'll tell you.

12:19You know what Marco reminded me?

12:21He did such a nice job there.

12:23It was nine years ago I had to debate this guy.

12:26He was not easy.

12:28I think he even got better.

12:31But when you were into your little thing, I said, this is when I had to debate this guy.

12:35You think it's easy to debate this guy?

12:36It's not easy.

12:37How long do you think that the Iranian nuclear program has been put back by these strikes?

12:42Years or totally?

12:44It took you a bit of what?

12:45I think basically decades, because I don't think they'll ever do it again.

12:49I just don't think they're going to do it.

12:50I think they're going to take their oil.

12:52They're going to have some missiles, and they'll have some defense.

12:56I think they've had it.

12:58I mean, they just went through hell.

13:00I think they've had it.

13:01The last thing they want to do is enrich.

13:03They've been trying to do it.

13:05By the way, it's hard to enrich.

13:06And, you know, when you look at a site like that, very, very hard to build.

13:11Very, very hard.

13:12Very expensive.

13:13They spent trillions of dollars trying to do this thing, and they didn't come up with it.

13:17And we're actually getting along with them very well right now.

13:21But had we not succeeded with that hit, that hit ended the war.

13:25That hit ended the war.

13:28I don't want to use an example of Hiroshima.

13:31I don't want to use an example of Nagasaki.

13:34But that was essentially the same thing.

13:36That ended that war.

13:37This ended that with a war.

13:39If we didn't take that out, they would have been — they'd be fighting right now.

13:42Mr. President?

13:43Yeah.

13:44If the Iranians do rebuild, would the United States —

13:47If they rebuild?

13:48Would the United States strike again?

13:49And I also have a question about Russia.

13:50Sure.

13:51But I'm not going to have to worry about that.

13:53It's gone for years, years.

13:55It's very tough to rebuild because the whole thing has collapsed.

13:58In other words, inside, it's all collapsed.

14:01Nobody can get in to see it because it's collapsed.

14:04You can't go in to see a room that has, you know, 10 million tons of rock in it.

14:09And the tunnels are totally collapsed.

14:12But they rebelled.

14:13Well, they've already looked at the tunnels.

14:15This was an unbelievable hit by genius pilots and genius people in the military.

14:21And they're not being given credit for it because we have scum that's in this group.

14:26And not all of you are.

14:27You have some great reporters.

14:28But you have scum.

14:30CNN is scum.

14:32MSDNC is scum.

14:34The New York Times is scum.

14:36They're bad people.

14:37They're sick.

14:38And what they've done is they're trying to make this unbelievable victory into something less.

14:43Now, even they admit that it was hit very hard.

14:46Okay?

14:47But it wasn't hit hard.

14:48It was hit brutally.

14:49And it knocked it out.

14:51The original word that I use, I guess it got us in trouble because it's a strong word.

14:56It was obliteration.

14:58And you'll see that.

14:59And it's going to come out.

15:01Israel is doing a report on it now.

15:04I understand.

15:05And I was told that they said it was total obliteration.

15:08You know, they have guys that go in there after the hit, and they say it was total obliteration.

15:14And, you know, I don't want it for me.

15:16I want it for the pilots.

15:17I want it for the military.

15:18They did such a good job.

15:19If you were in the Situation Room with me, with the generals and all of the people that did such a good job,

15:25and then they get demeaned by these idiots at CNN who can't get ratings, the place is dying.

15:30Nobody wants to even waste their time going on their shows.

15:33So they formed with the New York Times, who's dying also.

15:36Without Trump, you wouldn't have a New York Times.

15:38And then just changing gears to your meeting with Zelensky later today,

15:43can you give us any preview of what the two of you might be discussing?

15:46No, well, we'll discuss the obvious.

15:48We'll discuss his difficulties.

15:50He's got a little difficulty.

15:52Zelensky.

15:53He's a nice guy.

15:55I mean, I'm going to meet him today.

15:56I don't know.

15:57I assume we're going to be discussing Ukraine.

15:59Yes.

16:00It seems like the most likely subject.

16:01Can you restart talks there or anything that you might do?

16:05Well, we're going to see.

16:06I mean, I've spoken to Putin a lot, and he actually was very nice.

16:09He volunteered help on, as you know, Iran.

16:13I said, no, I don't need help on Iran.

16:15I need help on Russia.

16:16Okay?

16:17I said, do me a favor.

16:18Help us on Russia, not on Iran.

16:20But he was very nice.

16:22We're going to talk about that.

16:24We're going to talk.

16:25I think progress is being made.

16:27I think great progress is being made on Gaza.

16:30I think the — because of this attack that we made,

16:33I think we're going to have some very good news.

16:35I was talking to Steve Witkoff, who, by the way, is terrific,

16:38and who knows more about this subject than anybody —

16:41the subject of what we were just talking about.

16:43He was on last night with Jesse and with Laura and with Sean.

16:50And boy, he has — Susan, he has a great take on it.

16:54He just explains it so easily.

16:56He's really very knowledgeable.

16:57But he did tell me that Gaza is very close.

17:00One follow-up on Iran.

17:05Both you and Secretary Rubio and Heksef mentioned the lead.

17:09But can you clarify, is the intelligence correct or is the intelligence wrong?

17:13Well, the intelligence was very inconclusive.

17:16The intelligence says, we don't know.

17:18It could have been very severe.

17:20That's what the intelligence says.

17:22So I guess that's correct.

17:25But I think we can take the we don't know.

17:27It was very severe.

17:28It was obliteration.

17:30And you'd think that a media outlet would say, isn't that a great thing?

17:36I mean, more importantly for the pilots for the military, you take their guts out.

17:41You take their absolute guts out.

17:42They had a tremendous attack.

17:44It was a complete obliteration.

17:46The other team, the other group, Iran, said, let's stop this.

17:53And you know what?

17:54Israel said it, too.

17:55Very smart.

17:56They fought like hell, and then they said, let's stop.

17:59And they're going to build themselves.

18:01And I really see it as sticking.

18:03I mean, we may do papers on it, Marco.

18:05Maybe we're going to do papers.

18:06I don't even know if you need them.

18:08They're not going to be fighting each other.

18:09They've had it.

18:10They've had a big fight, like two kids in a schoolyard.

18:13You know, they fight like hell.

18:14You can't stop them.

18:15Let them fight for about two, three minutes.

18:17Then it's easier to stop them.
