Transcript

00:00What's this for Israel or Iran for breaking?

00:07No, they didn't do anything.

00:09They would have if they had put out a statement on truth,

00:13and they didn't do anything.

00:15Are you confident that this might not happen again,

00:18say, in a couple of weeks?

00:20Tired of it.

00:21I think they don't want it to happen again.

00:25And Iran's not going to have a nuclear weapon, by the way.

00:28I think it's the last thing on their mind right now.

00:31Mr. President, did Iran make any commitments yesterday

00:34about uranium enrichment?

00:36About what?

00:37About uranium enrichment.

00:38They're not going to have enrichment,

00:39and they're not going to have a nuclear weapon,

00:41and they know that.

00:42They're going to get on to being a great trading nation.

00:45You know, they're very good traders,

00:47and they're going to be a great trading nation,

00:49and they have a lot of oil.

00:51They're going to do well.

00:52They're not going to have a nuclear weapon.

00:55So did they promise?

00:56What happened on Iran's mind right now is nuclear weapons.

01:00Can you clarify what you meant when you mentioned regime change

01:03in your Truth Social post the other night?

01:05Which?

01:06Regime change.

01:07Do you want to see regime change in Iran?

01:09No.

01:10If there was, there was.

01:11But no, I don't want it.

01:12I'd like to see everything calm down as quickly as possible.

01:16Regime change takes chaos,

01:19and ideally we don't want to see so much chaos,

01:22so we'll see how it does.

01:23You know, the Iranians are very good traders,

01:25very good business people,

01:27and they've got a lot of oil.

01:28They should be fine.

01:30They should be able to rebuild and do a good job.

01:32They're never going to have nuclear,

01:34but other than that they should do a great job,

01:36which is exactly where I want.

01:38I've been saying for years you cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon.

01:41Yeah, but we're going to be with, where's Marco?

01:44I think Marco's here someplace.

01:46You know our great secretaries say.

01:48But we cannot let them have a nuclear weapon.

01:51They won't have a nuclear weapon.

01:53And I will tell you,

01:54the last thing on their minds is nuclear weapons.

01:57They don't even want to think about nuclear.

01:59And our B-2 pilots made this all possible.

02:02They had a magnificent hit in the dark of night,

02:06with no moon, no light, no nothing.

02:08They hit the target perfectly, wiped it out.

02:11And the press is very disrespectful.

02:14I saw CNN fake news going,

02:16well, maybe it wasn't a perfect hit.

02:19It was perfect.

02:20They said maybe it did destroy it.

02:22We agree, it did destroy it.

02:23But maybe it could have destroyed it more.

02:25No, no, it couldn't have destroyed it more.

02:27Everyone hit.

02:29And it's very disrespectful to those great geniuses and patriots

02:33that flew those planes through tremendous danger.

02:36So CNN and MS, DNC are a disgrace.

02:39And so are the others.

02:40I mean, they're pretty much all in disgrace.

02:43But it's an amazing period of time.

02:47Now we're going to NATO, and we'll get a new set of problems.

02:51We'll solve a new set of problems.

02:53Do you think you'll meet with Zelensky when you're there?

02:55Yeah, probably.

02:56I'll see him.

02:57Yeah.

02:58What would you say to him?

02:59I'd say, how are you doing?

03:01He's in a tough situation.

03:04Should have never been there.

03:06Sir, you said a couple days ago that you didn't think the U.S.

03:08should have to agree to the 5 percent increase in GDP on defense.

03:13No.

03:14Do you want to talk about that?

03:15I was the one that said that what they should be paying, as you know.

03:18No, I should do something.

03:21And they're having a problem with Spain.

03:23They're always a problem with Spain.

03:26Because Spain's not agreeing, which is very unfair to the rest of them.

03:29So the U.S. won't be increasing our GDP to 5 percent?

03:32We should pay everyone else.

03:34You know, they're in Europe.

03:35We're not.

03:36You know, a lot of that money goes to rebuilding their bridges, their roads,

03:39so it can take heavy equipment.

03:41And, you know, we don't have any roads in Europe.

03:44We don't have any bridges in Europe.

03:46So, no, it wouldn't be quite the same thing for us.

03:48But we're with them.

03:49Are you still committed to Article 5 of NATO?

03:52Depends on your definition.

03:54There's numerous definitions of Article 5.

03:57You know that, right?

03:58But I'm committed to being their friends.

04:01You know, I've become friends with many of those leaders.

04:04And I'm committed to helping them.

04:06What do you want the role of NATO to be going forward once these other countries are spending work?

04:11By having a unified system, I think we're going to have stronger peace, better peace.

04:17And I think we have that.

04:18You know, when I went to NATO, they were broke when I first started this whole thing.

04:23It seems like a long time ago, nine years, right?

04:26But they were broke.

04:28I knew it immediately.

04:29I said, you guys are broke.

04:30They weren't paying their dues.

04:32Seven of the 28 countries at the time it was 28 were paying their dues, but they weren't paying very much.

04:38NATO was broke.

04:39And I said, you're going to have to pay.

04:41And we did a whole thing.

04:42And now they're paying a lot.

04:44Then I said, you're going to have to lift it to 4% or 5%.

04:47And 5% is better.

04:49They just, I guess they're voting on that today, but they're going to be lifting it to 5%.

04:54That's good.

04:55It gives them much more power.

04:56Mr. President, if there's language in the final summit declaration about aggression by Russia, would you be okay with that kind of language?

05:03Well, I'll have to take a look at it, but, you know, I'd like to see a deal with Russia.

05:09As you know, Vladimir called me up.

05:11He said, can I help you with Iran?

05:13I said, no, I don't need help with Iran.

05:14I need help with you.

05:16And I hope we're going to be getting a deal done with Russia.

05:20It's a shame.

05:216,000 soldiers died last week.

05:24More.

05:256,500 soldiers died last week.

05:27Russia, Ukraine.

05:28A war that never would have happened if I was president.

05:31So enjoy your flight.

05:33Can I ask you one more follow-up?

05:34In your comments just now about Article 5, that will probably make some people in Europe concerned.

05:40Can you clarify what you mean?

05:42Are you still committed to mutual defense?

05:44I'm committed to saving lives.

05:47I'm committed to life and safety.

05:49And I'm going to give you an exact definition when I get there.

05:52I just don't want to do it on the back of an airplane.

05:55And one other question on energy.

05:57What's your take on the oil price situation right now?

06:00And are you concerned?

06:01I love it.

06:02It dropped almost $10 yesterday.

06:04I put out a statement, get it down.

06:07Because a lot of people aren't able to do things when the energy goes down.

06:11You're going to have a lot less conflict.

06:13So it came down and our energy department is doing a great job.

06:17We're drilling like we've never drilled before.

06:22We're keeping it down.

06:23We're going to keep it down until all these wars are settled.

06:25Thank you very much, everybody.

06:26I'll see you.

06:27What about the nice Iranian sleeper cells in the United States?

06:30Yeah, Biden led a lot of supercells in.

06:32Biden was an incompetent president and had no idea what he was doing.

06:36He hardly ever signed a document.

06:38Other people signed documents for him with the auto pen.

06:42It was gross incompetence.

06:44And among everything else, he let a lot of supercells in, many from Iran.

06:49But hopefully we'll take care of him.

06:52What Biden did to this country should never be forgotten.

06:55Do you think you'll get the Nobel Peace Prize now, sir?
