00:00George Adams New York Rep.
00:07Trump No.
00:10Decision – an amazing decision,
00:14one that we're very happy about.
00:17This morning the Supreme Court has delivered a monumental victory
00:20for the Constitution, the separation of powers
00:24and the rule of law, in striking down the excessive use
00:28of nationwide injunctions to interfere with the normal functioning of the executive branch.
00:33The Supreme Court has stopped the presidency itself.
00:37That's what they've done.
00:39And really, it's been an amazing period of time, this last hour.
00:45There are people elated all over the country.
00:48I've seen such happiness and spirit.
00:51Sometimes you don't see that, but this case is very important.
00:54I was elected on a historic mandate, but in recent months we've seen a handful of radical
01:00left judges effectively try to overrule the rightful powers of the president to stop the
01:06American people from getting the policies that they voted for in record numbers.
01:11It was a grave threat to democracy, frankly, and instead of merely ruling on the immediate
01:17cases before them, these judges have attempted to dictate the law for the entire nation.
01:23In practice, this meant that if any one of the nearly 700 federal judges disagreed with
01:28the policy of a duly elected president of the United States, he or she could block that
01:34policy from going into effect or at least delay it for many years, tie it up in the court system.
01:42This was a colossal abuse of power which never occurred in American history prior to recent
01:47decades.
01:48And we've been hit with more nationwide injunctions than were issued in the entire 20th century together.
01:55Think of it more than the entire 20th century.
01:58Me.
01:59I'm grateful to the Supreme Court for stepping in and solving this very, very big and complex
02:06problem and they've made it very simple.
02:09I want to thank Justice Barrett who wrote the opinion brilliantly as well as Chief Justice
02:14Roberts and Justices Alito, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh and Thomas.
02:20Great people.
02:21Thanks for this decision and thanks to this decision.
02:26We can now promptly file to proceed with numerous policies that have been wrongly enjoined on a
02:32nationwide basis.
02:34And some of the cases we're talking about would be ending birthright citizenship, which
02:40now comes to the fore.
02:41That was meant for the babies of slaves.
02:43It wasn't meant for people trying to scam the system and come into the country on a vacation.
02:49This was in fact, it was the same date, the exact same date.
02:52The end of the Civil War was meant for the babies of slaves and so clean and so obvious.
02:57But this lets us go there and finally win that case because hundreds of thousands of people
03:02are pouring into our country under birthright citizenship and it wasn't meant for that reason.
03:07It was meant for the babies of slaves.
03:11So thanks to this decision, we can now properly file to proceed with these numerous policies
03:17and those that have been wrongly enjoined on a nationwide basis, including birthright citizenship,
03:23suspending sanctuary city funding, suspending refugee resettlement, freezing unnecessary funding,
03:30stopping federal taxpayers from paying for transgender surgeries and numerous other priorities
03:36of the American people.
03:38We have so many of them.
03:39I have a whole list.
03:40I'm not going to bore you and I'm going to have Pam get up and say a few words.
03:45But there's really she could talk as long as she wants because it's a very important decision.
03:49This is a decision that covers a tremendous amount of territory.
03:54But I want to just thank again the Supreme Court for this ruling.
03:57It's a giant.
03:58It's a giant.
04:00And they should be very proud and our country should be very proud of the Supreme Court today.
04:05And with that, I'd like you to listen to the words of Pam Bondi.
04:10She's an incredible attorney general.
04:11We're very proud of her.
04:13And as you know, Todd Blanche is with us and we have so many others that worked on this
04:18case and other cases.
04:21And I think they're doing a great job.
04:22Pam, please say a few words.
04:28Thank you, President Trump.
04:31Thank you for fighting for all Americans.
04:34Americans are finally getting what they voted for.
04:36No longer will we have rogue judges striking down President Trump's policies across the
04:43entire nation.
04:45No longer.
04:46Today in the 6-3 opinion, Justice Barrett correctly holds that the district court lacks authority
04:52to enter nationwide or universal injunctions.
04:56These lawless injunctions gave relief to everyone in the world instead of the parties before the
05:03court.
05:04Supreme Court held today, they turned district courts into the imperial judiciary.
05:11Active liberal justices, judges have used these injunctions to block virtually all of President
05:18Trump's policies.
05:20To put this in perspective, there are 94 federal judicial districts.
05:275 of those districts throughout this country held 35 of the nationwide injunctions.
05:34Think about that.
05:3594 districts and 35 out of the 40 opinions with nationwide injunctions came from 5 liberal
05:44districts in this country.
05:46No longer.
05:47No longer.
05:48No longer.
05:49These injunctions have blocked our policies from tariffs to military readiness to immigration
05:54to foreign affairs, fraud, abuse and many other issues.
05:58The judges have tried to seize the executive branch's power and they cannot do that.
06:05No longer.
06:06No longer.
06:07No longer.
06:08No longer.
06:09No longer.
06:10No longer.
06:11No longer.
06:12No longer.
06:13No longer.
06:14No longer.
06:15No longer.
06:16No longer.
06:17No longer.
06:18No longer.
06:19No longer.
06:20No longer.
06:21No longer.
06:22No longer.
06:23No longer.
06:24No longer.
06:25No longer.
06:26No longer.
06:27hand with the FBI on all of these transnational gangs. TDA has been a huge terror to our country
06:34as well as MS-13, as well as Sinaloa cartels. No longer. No longer. These injunctions have allowed
06:42district court judges to be emperors. They vetoed all of President Trump's power and they cannot
06:50do that. This has been a bipartisan problem that has lasted five presidential terms, five different
06:58presidents, and it has ended today. We will continue to fight for President Trump's policies. I want to
07:05thank the Office of White House Counsel, Dave Warrington. You and your staff have been incredible.
07:11Our Solicitor General's Office, John Sowers, Sarah Harris, and Todd Blanchett and Emil Bovee. Todd's
07:17going to say a few words because we've had another major ruling today on transgender books and some
07:23other great wins that we've had. But no longer will they have this power in our country. It is the
07:29President's authority under his executive branch to do everything to fight for the American people,
07:35and he will continue to do that. That's why he was overwhelmingly elected. Thank you.
07:40Thank you. Today's a great day for the rule of law. It's a great day for the Justice Department,
07:49and it's one that's been a long time coming and one that every American should have been waiting for
07:55with bated breath. And so I echo what the President said and Attorney General Bondi,
08:00that the Supreme Court did a great thing today, not only for this administration,
08:04administration before every American in this country. If not for the injunctions case, we would
08:10be here talking about another great decision that came down today, the trans books case, which
08:14restores parents' rights to decide their child's education. Seems like a basic idea, but it took the
08:21Supreme Court to set the record state, and we thank them for that. And now that ruling allows parents
08:27to opt out of dangerous trans ideology and make the decisions for their children that they believe
08:33is correct. And so we thank the Supreme Court for that. There's been multiple decisions over the past
08:37several weeks that just show why this injunction, why this nationwide injunction ban had to happen.
08:45For example, what I mean by that is local district court judges issuing decisions that are clearly contrary
08:51to law just because they don't like the policy of President Trump. And when it gets to the Supreme Court,
08:56the Supreme Court has to correct it. But that takes time. The Attorney General thanked our lawyers,
09:02and I'll do it again. Our lawyers are working 24 hours a day, seven days a week to fight these injunctions
09:08and to emergency appeals, emergency stays, going back to the district court judge, asking them to change
09:13their view. And so their hard work is really paying off today, but over the past few weeks. We had a stay
09:19of an order that prevented DHS from moving aliens to a third country. We had a stay of an order that stopped
09:25the Department of Defense from implementing military readiness, the EO that President Trump signed.
09:31We had another stay of an order forcing reinstatement of fired executive branch employees
09:35entirely within the president and Article 2, his right to do. We had a stay of, as you all know,
09:41of numerous doge cases. And again, every one of those stays requires a tremendous amount of work and effort
09:48by the lawyers and parties involved. And they should be doing other work. They should be doing the work
09:53that the president and this administration demands and has a right to demand, and not fighting these
10:00local judges who don't make decisions based on the law. They make decisions because they just
10:05simply don't agree with the administration's decision about a policy, and that's wrong. Thank you.
10:10Any questions?
10:17Yes, for Pam, please.
10:19Go ahead.
10:19Sure. Thank you, Madam Attorney General. So as you know, the Supreme Court did not rule
10:25on the underlying constitutionality of the president's birthright citizenship order. So
10:31what is the plan now? Are you going to try to implement the EO just in states where there isn't
10:37a legal challenge? Yes. So birthright citizenship will be decided in October in the next session by
10:44the Supreme Court, unless it comes down in the next few minutes. I guess it could come down.
10:48There's still, I think they're still deliberating right now on some cases. As you heard, we just
10:52got transgender books, which is a huge win. But most likely that will be decided in October in the
10:58next session. However, it indirectly impacts us because, as you correctly pointed out, if there's
11:04a birthright citizenship case in Oregon, it will only affect the plaintiff in Oregon, not the entire
11:10country. So yes, it's indirectly. But that's pending litigation, and we're waiting on that in the next
11:15term. And how concerned are you that the Supreme Court will come back and determine that the executive
11:20order is unconstitutional? Oh, we're very confident in the Supreme Court. But again, it's pending
11:24litigation, and that will directly be determined in October. But it indirectly impacts every case in this
11:31country. And we're thrilled with their decision today. Peter? Madam Attorney General, thank you for
11:35being here to take our questions. A couple of questions to the both of you. The EO goes, had a
11:3930-day grace period before it goes into effect. Is there any thought about trying to make it effective
11:45immediately within that period of time? We're going to follow the law. We're going to make those
11:49decisions, and we're going to do what's right in the bounds of the law. And then the DOJ didn't ask the
11:53justices to rule on the merits of the birthright citizenship ban? Just for explanation purposes, why?
11:59Sure, because that's going to come down in October. This was huge because it's indirectly impacted
12:06today. As I said, now it's case by case. Let me reiterate, of the 35 of the 40 nationwide
12:15injunctions filed against this president, against his executive authority as president of the United
12:20States, 35 of them came from Maryland, D.C., Massachusetts, California, Washington.
12:27I mean, that's crazy. These five districts. So yes, it indirectly impacts us. It will be a
12:33separate decision in October. Next question. Thank you, Mr. President. A question for you,
12:38sir. Do you believe this ends the power of the lower court judges to stop your agenda? Do you see
12:43this as a full green light for your agenda going forward? Well, you'd have to really speak to the
12:47lawyers about that. But this is really also a decision based on common sense. It didn't work the
12:52other way. It was a disaster where somebody from a certain location in a very liberal state or a
12:59liberal judge or a liberal group of judges could tie up a whole country for years because their decision
13:05would sometimes take years to overturn. We've overturned many of the decisions, but it would take
13:10years to do it. And we have to act quickly when it comes to illegal immigration. We have murderers,
13:16killers. We have drug dealers. We have what they've allowed to come into our country should never be
13:22forgotten. It should never be forgotten what they've done to our country. And we have to be able to act
13:27very quickly. And we're going to do that. Thank you.
13:29Just a thing, Tony Barrett. Sir, I know that you praised her and her opinion here in this case.
13:35She has taken some heat, though, from some of your supporters who have labeled her weak, a squishy,
13:40a rattled law professor. What is your take on that?
13:43I don't know about that. I just have great respect for her. I always have. And her decision was
13:48brilliantly written today from all accounts. Yeah.
13:51President Trump, transgender, really, sir, Mr. President. What would you say to Americans who fear
13:57that this is more and more concentration of power in the White House and the executive...
14:02Well, this really brings back the Constitution. This is what it's all about. And this is really the
14:06opposite of that. I mean, the question is fine, but it's the opposite. The Constitution has been brought back.
14:11Thank you so much, President Trump. Illegal crossings in the border are zero now.
14:19Zero. Does everyone hear that?
14:21Yeah, yeah, yeah. Trump from D28!
14:24Do you intend, President Trump...
14:26Who's that guy?
14:29I like him.
14:31I like him.
14:32He's working the cameras.
14:33With this new reality, President Trump, in the border, do you intend to engage personally with leaders from South America, not only Central America, in order to tackle this situation in a different way, and if you have a perspective of meeting some presidents from South America, as Brazil, for example?
14:53Well, you said, as an example, not South America, but NATO over the weekend.
14:57Yeah.
14:57They have great respect for our country now. They did things that nobody thought was possible.
15:02They took funding from 2 percent to 5 percent. Nobody thought they'd ever pay the 2 percent, and now they're paying the 5 percent.
15:08It's over a trillion dollars more a year. Think of that. A trillion dollars.
15:12Nobody thought that could happen. That's a different group of people, different countries.
15:17But we get along with a lot of countries. We are respected again. Our country, the U.S., is respected again. Was not respected six months ago, I can tell you.
15:27Can we ask about the big deal, sir?
15:29Yeah, go ahead, Trace.
15:30Mr. President, you have a deadline coming up on trade in two weeks.
15:34Which countries, if any, on trade, on tariffs?
15:37Yeah.
15:38Which countries, if any, are close to agreements with the administration?
15:40Well, that's an interesting question. We've made a deal with China.
15:44We've made a deal with probably four or five different countries. With the U.K., it was a great deal for both.
15:51And we're in the process of making some others. But ultimately, in fact, Scott is here.
15:56Howard Lutnick, these two guys have been doing an incredible job. And the people that work with them have been doing an incredible job.
16:02But, you know, we have 200 countries. You could say 200 countries plus. We can't do that.
16:07So, at a certain point over the next week and a half or so, or maybe before, we're going to send out a letter.
16:13We've talked to many of the countries. And we're just going to tell them what they have to pay to do business in the United States.
16:19And it's going to go very quickly. But some of the bigger countries, India, I think we're going to reach a deal where we have the right to go in and trade.
16:27Right now it's restricted. You can't walk in there. You can't even think about it.
16:30We're looking to get a full trade barrier dropping, which is unthinkable.
16:37And I'm not sure that that's going to happen. But as of this moment, we've agreed to that.
16:41Go into Indian trade. We're going to be trading in China. That's going to come a little bit down the road.
16:45But we're going to be trading in China. We have a lot of great things going.
16:48And we're getting along with countries. But some will be disappointed because they're going to have to pay tariffs.
16:53And we've taken in already hundreds of billions of dollars in tariffs, no inflation.
17:00The only problem we have is we have a Fed guy that doesn't understand what's happening.
17:03And it would be great if he'd lower the rate because we'd be able to borrow a lot cheaper.
17:08Why don't we keep it on this subject? This is such a big subject.
17:16You know what? Trade is so big. But this, I don't know, in a certain way, this might be bigger than trade.
17:21I think this is bigger than trade. Yes, please. Go ahead.
17:25Sir, on the transgender ruling, the Supreme Court ruling that parents with religious objections can pull their kids out of public school lessons that use LGBTQ materials.
17:37Pam brought it up. Your reaction to that ruling today, sir?
17:39I think the ruling was a great ruling. And I think it's a great ruling for parents.
17:44It's really a ruling for parents. They lost control of the schools. They lost control of their child. And this is a tremendous victory for parents.
17:54And I'm not surprised by it, but I am surprised that it went this far. It took us to bring life back to normal. So it's wonderful. It's parental.
18:03And I kept saying, we will give you back your parental rights. They were taken away. And this is a tremendous victory for parents. Yeah.
18:10Mr. President, if you look at the back at the last week, it's been extraordinary in terms of the action in the Middle East. You were at the Hague.
18:17I'm wondering now, sir, if you believe that Iran has given up its long history of ambitions with nuclear weapons or what you would like to see from them to prove that they do.
18:33And what type of meetings is your administration looking for next week with Iran?
18:37So Iran wants to meet. As you know, their sites were obliterated. They're very evil nuclear sites. They were now has been proven.
18:45And we had some fake news for a little while. The same people that covered the Hunter Biden laptop was from Russia. The same people that did three or four other Russia, Russia, Russia hoax.
18:56But on their end. No, no, wait, wait. Just listen. They came up with something that delayed the credit that our great pilots and these great America. I mean, they what talent that was. And they hit it right down in the spot. 52,000 feet.
19:10Think of this dark. No moon. You couldn't see a thing. And they hit the refrigerator door, as they say. That's the size of a target and overwhelmingly. And it's amazing what was done.
19:23We're the only ones that could have done it. And we took out the two of the other sites also. In addition to that, we finished them off. That was a very evil intention. I believe that. And again, time will tell.
19:36But I don't believe that they're going to go back into nuclear anytime soon. They spent over a trillion dollars on nuclear and they never got it together. And nothing was moved from the site, by the way. To do that is very dangerous. It's very, very heavy material.
19:51Those cars were most likely the cars of masons because they were pouring concrete at the top at the hatch. As you know, the hatch going into the nuclear site. They wanted to reinforce it. And they had some masons there pouring concrete. By the way, that concrete was obliterated. It hit exactly at the concrete. It was I don't think it had a chance to dry. But everything's down there. It's under millions of tons of rock.
20:18Please. Yes.
20:21Your administration has said that El Salvador is one of the safest countries in the hemisphere. So why haven't you yet canceled temporary protective status for that country? Was it part of the deal?
20:31Well, we'll take a look. We've had a great relationship with El Salvador. They have a fantastic leader. They built a massive prison system. And I don't know exactly why, but it's a hell of a system. And we bring people there. And when they go there, they don't get out.
20:47And frankly, when they hear they have to go there, they become very nice people. They become very nice people. It's a tough system, but it's a brilliant system. And it's a system done by a very, very good leader. We'll talk about El Salvador. A lot of respect.
21:02Yeah, please. Thank you. Thank you. A question for you and then a question for the attorney general. As you go into negotiations and talks with Iran, are you demanding not only that there would be no uranium production inside of Iran, but also that Iran would turn over all existing stockpiles of uranium?
21:19Well, you know, we're a little early for that, but something like that. Yeah, we'll do something like that. Let me say that I've been saying for 25 years, even as a civilian, you cannot let them have a nuclear weapon. And that's what happened. It's been obliterated. It would be years before they could ever get going. And I really think it's probably the last thing they have to recover from a hell of a tough war.
21:43Would you also be demanding that the IAEA have full rights to inspect in Iran?
21:47Or somebody, yeah. Or somebody that we respect, including ourselves.
21:51And a question for both the president and the attorney general. Under birthright citizenship, if this is implemented, who would be tasked with actually vetting citizenship?
22:01And would this be a situation where you have nurses and doctors checking for citizenship of parents?
22:07This is all pending litigation. It's going to be decided in October.
22:13By the Supreme Court. And we'll discuss that after the litigation.
22:16If you have an undocumented baby, would that baby then be an enforcement priority?
22:21The violent criminals in our country are the priority. Now, let me put it in perspective.
22:28Today marked the 2,711th arrest in our country of TDA members. Just TDA.
22:36Today, everyone in this room agrees. They are one of the most violent criminal organizations in the world.
22:43And the Biden administration let them walk into our country, walk into our country for the last four years.
22:492,711 of them today have been arrested in our country.
22:54That is the priority of Donald Trump. That is the priority of this country, of homeland security, of all of our lawyers, of FBI.
23:02That's the priority. That will be discussed in October when the Supreme Court hopefully rules in our favor.
23:07And we're very confident of that.
23:09But you should all feel safer now that President Trump can deport all of these, all of these gangs.
23:15And not one district court judge can think they're an emperor over this administration, his executive powers, and why the people of the United States elected him.
23:25I just might add one thing.
23:29And, you know, they used birthright citizenship, some of the worst people, some of the cartels, to get people into our country, just so you know.
23:36And, again, I say, if you look at the end of the Civil War, the 1800s, it was a very turbulent time.
23:43If you take the end day, was it 1869 or whatever, but you take that exact day, that's when the case was filed.
23:50And the case ended shortly thereafter.
23:52This has to do with the babies of slaves, very, very obviously.
23:57And I think we're going to win.
23:58People didn't, I don't think they went about discussing it right.
24:01I came along and we looked and we said, wait a minute, this is wrong.
24:05We've been looking at birthright citizenship wrong for years, but they've used it.
24:09The cartels have used birthright citizenship to get very bad people in.
24:13And what Pam's doing and what Todd and everybody else, what they're doing at DOJ and all over, FBI, ICE, Border Patrol, these are incredible people.
24:23They're trying to keep our country safe, and they don't want to have people come in.
24:26This is just another way that they get illegal immigrants into our country, and in some cases, very, very bad ones.
24:34Go ahead.
24:34Thank you, Mr. President.
24:35On your tax bill, if I could for a moment, senators are racing to rewrite parts of it right now after the Senate parliamentarian ruled that sections of it were outside of the process that they're using to get this through.
24:48Do you think that senators should respect the decisions of the parliamentarian?
24:52And what have you personally done in the last 48 hours to try and get Republican senators who are against the bill to a yes?
25:00Well, look, it's a great bill.
25:01It's a massive tax cut.
25:03If it's not approved, your taxes will go up by 68%.
25:07Think of that, 68, a record, the highest in the history.
25:11The Democrats won't approve it only because politically it's so good for the Republicans.
25:15The Democrats aren't approving it.
25:17But think of what they're not approving.
25:18They're not approving border security.
25:20We've done a great job at the border, but we have to add some war.
25:24We have to do, you know, various things.
25:26We have no money for that.
25:27We have no money for the border.
25:29We have no money for so many things.
25:30But if the Democrats, it would be interesting to see if we get any Democrat votes.
25:35We should.
25:36If I were a Democrat, I would absolutely, maybe Fetterman, because he seems to be the most sensible one lately.
25:41If I were a Democrat, I would vote for this bill all day long because it's tax cuts and so many other things that are common sense.
25:48They're basic things.
25:50I think they're doing fine.
25:53The parliamentarian's been a little difficult, and I would say that I disagree with the parliamentarian on some things, and on other ways he's been fine.
26:02But we'll have to see.
26:03It's a big issue.
26:05I will tell you this.
26:06If that bill doesn't pass, the country will get a 68 percent tax increase.
26:12So think of this.
26:13You're a Democrat, and you vote against it.
26:16That means you're voting in favor because, essentially, you're voting in favor of the largest tax hike in the history of our country, and you can't do that.
26:24In addition, we're cutting costs by $1.7 trillion, and it won't affect anybody.
26:30It's just fraud, waste, and abuse.
26:32Mr. President, Mr. President, Mr. President,
26:35a leading global economist just did a 180 and says your tariff plan may have outsmarted everybody with it.
26:43What is your message?
26:44I love this.
26:45I love this question.
26:47This is the best question I've ever been asked because I've been going through abuse for years on this.
26:52Because, as you know, we're taking hundreds of no inflation whatsoever.
26:59But, Mr. President, what is your message to critics who think your tariff plan will cause a recession?
27:05I think they should go back to business school.
27:07It's so obvious.
27:09It's so obvious.
27:09I mean, we're taking in billions and billions of dollars from China and a lot of other countries.
27:15We took in, I had a call from somebody in the House and a high official.
27:22Sir, we have a problem.
27:23We don't know what to do.
27:24The books are a mess.
27:25I said, what do I mean by the books?
27:26The books, the money, the money coming in.
27:28It's so terrible.
27:29I figured, oh, boy, what's this?
27:31I don't like this question.
27:33I said, so what seems, there's so much money coming in,
27:36and there must be some kind of an accounting mistake because we have hundreds of billions of dollars more money than we thought.
27:43I said, do me a favor.
27:44Go check the gear.
27:45Call me back.
27:46You have to call me back.
27:47Check the tariff column.
27:49Calls me back two hours later.
27:51He says, you're right.
27:52We took in $88 billion in tariffs.
27:55They have so much money coming in.
27:57But more important than the money coming in, we have companies coming in, factories coming in, auto plants being built,
28:03AI is being built here instead of being built all over Europe and Asia.
28:08We have all of it.
28:09We have over $15 trillion, just about, Scott.
28:13I think we're right about that number.
28:15We went to Saudi Arabia.
28:16We went to Qatar.
28:17We went to UAE.
28:19Very smart people, very smart leaders, great leaders.
28:21And we took in $5.1 trillion just there.
28:25Without the tariffs.
28:26I mean, they also liked a thing called November 5th, November 6th, and November 7th.
28:31That was a very good little period of time.
28:32It was called a presidential election.
28:35You know, you used to have a one-day election.
28:36Now you have it go over.
28:37But even if you just took that little period, because it was pretty obvious it was going to be a landslide.
28:42But, and they like that, but they love the tariffs.
28:45I had Texas Instruments come in the other day, a big company, and he said,
28:50we're putting in $60 billion into new plants and new equipment, new everything.
28:54Sir, you're going to keep the tariffs, aren't you?
28:56Because whoever took the tariffs off, and we are going to absolutely keep it.
29:00And they're worried that somebody that, like this communist from New York, someday gets elected.
29:06I can't believe that's happening.
29:07That's a terrible thing for our country, by the way.
29:09He's a communist.
29:11We're going to go to a communistic, that's so bad for New York.
29:14But the rest of the country is revolting against it.
29:17But if somebody got elected, they're afraid that if this was taken off, well, we're going to guarantee it's never going to be taken off.
29:24And, again, we're taking in hundreds, think of this, hundreds of billions of dollars.
29:30And they were all confused because they've never seen this before.
29:32You know, it's always the other way.
29:33We don't have enough money.
29:34So much money is coming in at levels that nobody's ever seen.
29:39But most importantly, we have factories being built, car plants being built, companies moving to our country like never before.
29:46If you look at $15 trillion, and that's only in a few months.
29:49You know, I haven't been here that long.
29:52The president's, like the last one, was a disaster.
29:55One of the, he's the worst president in the history of our country, by the way.
29:58What he did on our border can never, ever be forgotten.
30:01To me, that's the worst of all the things.
30:02And he's done some terrible things, grossly incompetent.
30:05Nobody knew it was him because I don't think it was him.
30:08I think it was whoever was controlling the auto pen.
30:10But our country is doing great.
30:13And those leaders and other leaders, I just left, as you know, a large group of the most highly respected people.
30:20And that includes big, you know, big countries.
30:23When you look at Germany and France and Spain, although Spain didn't come through, but they will.
30:28By the way, guaranteed they will.
30:30That was the only country that sort of tried to hold back on putting up the money.
30:34But just so you know, they said, it's unbelievable what's happened to the USA.
30:39You were a dead country.
30:40We didn't respect the country, the leader.
30:45You were dead as a doornail.
30:48One said to me, you went from being a dead country, you are right now the hottest country anywhere in the world.
30:55The whole world is talking about the USA.
30:58And everybody wants a part of it.
31:00And they're pouring into our country.
31:01And you're going to see those numbers.
31:02Thank you for that question.
31:03Thank you, Mr. President.
31:11I have a question about trade.
31:12Secretary Besant has said that he hopes tariff deals with major partners will be done by Labor Day.
31:18So if some deals are not done by your July 9th deadline, will some countries' tariffs go back up or will they stay where they are now?
31:26Well, there are some countries that are used to ripping us off, to be honest with you.
31:30And I don't want to name them, but you sort of can name them.
31:33And they're so used to just, you know, getting, taking billions and billions of, look, we had a trade deficit of more than a trillion dollars.
31:43Think of a trillion, a trade deficit.
31:46That's because nobody cared.
31:48Nobody, we cared a lot when, you know, I took in hundreds of billions of dollars in tariff.
31:53We had the greatest economy in history up until now.
31:56I think we're going to blow it away.
31:57But during my time, and especially prior to COVID, we had the greatest economy in the history of our country.
32:03I think we're going to blow it away now based on the kind of numbers that we're seeing.
32:07But some countries are very angry because they've been ripping us off for years.
32:12They've been making billions and billions of dollars.
32:14There was nobody to negotiate with.
32:16They could do whatever they want.
32:17They charge us tariffs, by the way, at numbers that we've never seen before.
32:22And we ended up losing much more than a trillion dollars a year.
32:25A trillion dollars a year on trade.
32:29And now they're being met with a force that's far greater than them.
32:33And they don't like it.
32:34So they're upset.
32:35Because instead of making, you know, five billion dollars, they're going to break even.
32:41Or they'll make a little bit.
32:42I want to be nice.
32:43They'll make a little bit.
32:44Oh, we'll make a little bit.
32:45It's a big difference.
32:47Yeah, please go.
32:48Go ahead.
32:49Mr. President, on the 2020 election, is there any more information on the special prosecutor?
32:55So many Americans still have questions about the 2020 election.
32:58And speaking of rogue judges, would you consider appointing somebody at DOJ maybe to investigate the judges that allowed for the political persecution of you, your family, and your supporters during the Biden administration?
33:09I love you.
33:10Who are you?
33:11Tom Caro from Lindell TV.
33:13Well, that's just a very nice question.
33:16And it's not a setup.
33:17I have no idea who you are, but I appreciate that question.
33:20All I can say is we're not here for that.
33:23I hope so.
33:24I hope they're doing a thing because that election was rigged and stolen.
33:27And we can't allow that to happen.
33:29You know, a lot of people tell me, sir, you just won the greatest election in the history of our country.
33:34You wanted numbers that won all seven swing states, won the popular vote, won everything.
33:41Sir, go on with your life.
33:43And many people that say that, good people, friends of mine, then you have people that say that same thing, go on with your life, but you have to find out what happened because you can't let that happen again.
33:55Look at what this lunatic did.
33:57Look at what he did.
33:58He opened our borders to people that were murderers.
34:0111,888, to be exact, murderers.
34:05And we've captured many of those murderers and we're bringing them back or some of them are so dangerous that we don't even want to bring them back.
34:12We're afraid they're going to try and come back in.
34:14But he allowed people to come into this country, people from mental institutions, insane asylums.
34:21That's a mental institution on steroids.
34:23People from mental institutions, gang members, drug dealers, people.
34:29Oh, jails being emptied out into our country.
34:32Venezuela emptied out almost its entire prison population into our country.
34:37But I don't want to blame them.
34:39Many countries have done that.
34:41The Congo.
34:42You know, we have a great press conference coming up later.
34:45And it's the Congo and Rwanda.
34:49You know, they were fighting for years.
34:52And it was machetes.
34:54It was vicious.
34:55It was as vicious as people's heads being chopped off.
34:58And I have a man who's very good in that part of the world, very smart.
35:01And put them together.
35:03And we're signing a peace treaty today.
35:05First time in many years they're going to have peace.
35:07And it's a big deal.
35:09You know, we talk about Russia.
35:11And we're going to work.
35:11We're working that one.
35:13President Putin called up and he said, I'd love to help you with Iran.
35:18I said, do me a favor.
35:19I'll handle Iran.
35:21Help me with Russia.
35:22We've got to get that one settled.
35:23And I think something's going to happen there.
35:26But we did some great work.
35:29India and Pakistan.
35:30That was going to be maybe nuclear.
35:32We did that.
35:32We did a lot of work.
35:34I don't know if there's ever been a president that's done much more.
35:37Serbia, Kosovo is going to go at it.
35:40Going to be a big war.
35:41I said, you go at it.
35:42There's no trade with the United States.
35:45They said, well, maybe we won't go at it.
35:47That's what happened with India and Pakistan.
35:51I was negotiating with both of them.
35:53And I said to Scott, I said to Howard, cancel all deals with India and Pakistan.
35:58They're not trading with us because they're in a war.
36:00They call back.
36:02What do we do?
36:02I said, look, you want to have trade with the United States.
36:06It's great.
36:07But you want to go and start using nuclear weapons on each other?
36:10We're not going to allow that.
36:11And they both agreed.
36:13Both have great leaders.
36:14They both agreed not to do it.
36:15So we did a lot.
36:17But I appreciate that question.
36:22Thank you so much.
36:25Thank you, Mr. President.
36:27I was just speaking with Senator Ron Johnson on the one big, beautiful bill.
36:31And he says he really wants to get to yes for you and get this accomplished.
36:35He does.
36:35He's a good man.
36:36But he also said that he needs more time.
36:38And he is not certain that the July 4th deadline is possible.
36:41Well, then he's not such a good man.
36:41Because there's too much work to do.
36:43He's a good man.
36:43Ron Johnson is doing a good job.
36:45He's very committed.
36:46Every Republican senator is committed.
36:49And, you know, you could have a couple of grandstanders, in all fairness.
36:53You could have somebody else.
36:54And it's very dangerous because our country would go from being the most successful country
36:59in the world to who knows what happens with a 68 percent.
37:02Think of it, 68 percent tax increase that was given by the Democrats because they like high taxes.
37:09I don't know what happened.
37:09You know, all my life, I'd grow up and I'd watch politicians talking and say, oh, that's fun.
37:15And they were always saying, we will cut your taxes.
37:17We will cut your tax.
37:18I never heard it.
37:19They say, we will raise your taxes.
37:22And they elect people like this guy in New York that maybe has a chance.
37:26I find it hard to believe, but he maybe has a chance.
37:29They want to raise your taxes.
37:30So they want to see a 68 percent tax increase.
37:34That's more money than anybody could afford.
37:36You'd go into a depression if that ever happened.
37:38So I think there's a lot of pressure to get that approved.
37:43How important is the July 4th deadline to you?
37:47It's important.
37:48It's not the end all.
37:49I'm looking no longer, but we'd like to get it done by that time, if possible.
37:53And look, we have a lot of very committed people, and they feel very strongly about a subject,
37:57subjects that you're not even thinking about that are important to Republicans.
38:01The problem we have is that it's a great bill.
38:05It's a popular bill, but we'll get no Democrats only because they don't want to vote for Trump.
38:10If they, if that bill was their bill, oh, they would be so happy.
38:14It's so great for our military.
38:16It's great for everything.
38:18And they would normally vote, but because their hatred of Trump,
38:22they have Trump derangement syndrome at levels never seen before.
38:26And instead of voting for a tax cut, they're voting for a tax increase of 68%.
38:32They're voting to destroy Social Security, destroy Medicare, and destroy Medicaid.
38:39And we're voting to make them perfect and to make them better, make them stronger and better.
38:44They're going to destroy Medicaid, and they're going to destroy Medicare, and Social Security will follow.
38:48If you vote for the Democrats, you're dead on those three things.
38:53Thank you, Mr. President.
38:57On a related subject, many Democrats have said that they are not going to support crypto bills in Congress
39:02only because of you and your family's personal crypto ventures.
39:07And these votes are, in some cases, needed to pass.
39:09Are you open to the idea of pulling away from your personal crypto ventures just for the next few years,
39:15if that helps get these crypto bills passed in the next few months?
39:18Well, it's a very funny thing, crypto.
39:20So I became a fan of crypto, and to me, it's an industry.
39:23I view it as an industry, and I'm president.
39:26And if we didn't have it, China would, or somebody else would, but most likely China.
39:29China would love to.
39:31And we've dominated that industry.
39:32It's a big industry, by the way.
39:33In fact, when the stock market went down recently, crypto and Bitcoin and all of that went down much less than anybody else as a group.
39:41And we've created a very powerful industry, and that's much more important than anything that we invest in.
39:47We invest in it, but really, that was an industry that wasn't doing particularly well.
39:52I got involved with it a couple of years ago, and before this whole, before the second term.
39:57I got involved before I decided to run.
40:00And I only decided to run because I saw what was happening, and Biden was incompetent, and the administration was crooked and incompetent.
40:08And I was in Bitcoin then, not knowing if I was going to do it a third time.
40:13So it's become amazing.
40:16I mean, it's the jobs that it produces, and I notice more and more you're paying Bitcoin.
40:21I mean, people are saying it takes a lot of pressure off the dollar, and it's a great thing for our country.
40:26So I don't care about investing.
40:29You know, I have my kids, and they invest in different things.
40:32They do believe in it.
40:34But I'm president, and what I did do there is build an industry that's very important.
40:39And, you know, if we didn't have it, China would.
40:40Okay.
40:41Sir, Mr. President, I want to be on.
40:42Go ahead, with the glasses, gentlemen.
40:45Go ahead, please.
40:46Go ahead.
40:46Thank you, Mr. President.
40:47So are you going to cut funds in the sanctuary states, like, for instance, California,
40:52that keep supporting illegal immigration, and then these people work under the table?
40:56Yeah, we're giving them a hard time.
40:57And also, if you have foreign policy questions.
41:00I mean, they don't have a governor in California.
41:02They have a man that wants to give away everything to people that nobody's seen before.
41:08If we didn't go into Los Angeles with the military,
41:12which did a fantastic job.
41:14But if we didn't go into Los Angeles bringing in the National Guard,
41:17I would have brought the military if it was necessary, because you have to.
41:20We have the right to.
41:22That was another thing upheld by the Supreme Court.
41:24But if we didn't go in with the National Guard and be strong and tough,
41:29you wouldn't maybe have Los Angeles.
41:31It would be like the rest of California, the rest of Los Angeles.
41:35They lost 25,000 houses in a fire.
41:38They should have lost none.
41:40You know, I sent the water down.
41:41I had to break into their water supplies because they just refused to do it.
41:44They're crazy.
41:45There's something wrong with them.
41:47They have plenty of water.
41:47They don't have droughts or anything.
41:49They have plenty.
41:49We let it come down from the Pacific Northwest.
41:52They routed all the water out into the Pacific Ocean for environmental reasons, okay?
41:58And now you have 25,000 houses, none of which would have burned down if you had the water.
42:02They didn't have water.
42:03They didn't have water for the fire pumps.
42:04They didn't have water in the sprinkler systems that people put in.
42:07So the answer is we're going to work with governors.
42:10We're going to work with radical left Democrats and Democrats.
42:13And we're going to make it good for everybody.
42:16We'll have to stop the crime in those, in the case of the cities, I think I can say,
42:22just about all cities with heavy crime are run by Democrats.
42:28Go ahead.
42:32Yeah, with the glasses.
42:34I'm with Iran.
42:34Go ahead, yes.
42:36Yeah, go ahead.
42:36No, no, the man behind you.
42:37Yeah, please.
42:38President Trump, Anthony Murchak from MQD, Lebanon.
42:41I want to ask you regarding the threats posed by Iran's allies and proxies operating in the U.S.
42:46They were threatening your life.
42:48So what do you say about that?
42:49And regarding Lebanon, because Hezbollah is as well part of Iran's allies,
42:54is there any time frame in Lebanon regarding disarming Hezbollah in Lebanon?
42:59Yeah.
43:00Lebanon is a great place with brilliant people.
43:03You know, it was known for the professors and doctors and had an incredible history.
43:08And hopefully we can bring it back again.
43:09And I just appointed a friend of mine who's Lebanese.
43:13And I didn't know he was Lebanese.
43:14I've known him for 20 years.
43:15Very, very successful man.
43:18And I just appointed him.
43:20And I said, why would you want that?
43:22He said, because I was born there.
43:24I was raised there.
43:25I love it.
43:26I love it so much.
43:27I said, you know, it's very dangerous going to Lebanon as ambassador.
43:30And he said, that's what they say, but I don't care about danger.
43:34I mean, this is a guy that is just a very big business guy.
43:38He wants to give up his whole life to go to Lebanon because he believes in it so much.
43:42We're with Lebanon all the way.
43:44We'll try and straighten it out.
43:45You're threatening your life as well.
43:47So what action?
43:48Threaten my life?
43:49Yeah, they have threatened.
43:50And I get that throbbing feeling every once in a while.
43:52I get that throbbing feeling.
43:54But you know what?
43:54That's okay.
43:57This is a dangerous business.
43:58What I do is a dangerous business.
44:00You know, I tell the story of the car companies and different people in different professions.
44:04You have race car drivers, as an example.
44:07One-tenth of one percent die.
44:11Bull riders, one-tenth of one percent.
44:14That's not a lot, but it's people die.
44:17When you're president, it's about five percent.
44:20If somebody would have told me that, maybe I wouldn't have run.
44:23Okay?
44:25This is a very dangerous profession.
44:31Yeah, please.
44:33By the way, so many questions.
44:35Should we keep this going, Pam?
44:36Yes, yes, yes.
44:38Yes, yes.
44:39This is the opposite of Biden.
44:42Biden would take a half a question, and he'd leave without answering it.
44:46Go ahead.
44:47On Iran.
44:49You tell me when it gets boring.
44:50Okay.
44:51On Iran.
44:53On Iran.
44:53If Iran...
44:56Are you from Iran?
44:57No, I'm not from Iran.
44:58I'm from the UK.
44:59But if the intelligence reports conclude that Iran can enrich uranium to a level that concerns you,
45:07would you consider bombing the country again?
45:10Sure.
45:10Without question.
45:10Absolutely.
45:11And have you had any comments?
45:12Turned out to be unbelievable.
45:15But, you know, our incredible flyers and our...
45:19I call them the shots.
45:21These guys are unbelievable.
45:22Think from 52,000 feet, they hit the equivalent of a refrigerator door.
45:27They actually hit it right in the center, so it's much smaller than that.
45:30And just bomb after bomb going deeper, deeper, blowing up.
45:34Incredible, incredible thing.
45:36I don't know if you heard the general.
45:37He was very impressive.
45:38Raisin Cain.
45:38You know, he's the one that beat ISIS for me.
45:42And he did it in a matter of weeks.
45:44And I was told it was going to take four or five years.
45:47And when I got this job, I always said, if I get this job, I'm going to put that guy as the head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and Dan Cain.
45:54And when I heard his name was Raisin, his nickname is Raisin, Raisin Cain, I said, you've got to be kidding.
46:00So I liked him right from the beginning.
46:01But he knocked out ISIS in a time that nobody ever thought possible.
46:06And when this attack was completed and so successful, I said, now I know how you knocked out ISIS so quickly.
46:12But we have the best people.
46:14We have the best equipment in the world.
46:15You know, I rebuilt the military during my four years, during my other term.
46:20We have the best equipment in the world.
46:21The problem is we gave away, you know, a lot of it, but small, relatively speaking.
46:26We gave a lot of it away to Afghanistan.
46:28Shouldn't have happened.
46:29That just shows how incompetent they were.
46:31They gave all that equipment away.
46:32Billions and billions of dollars worth.
46:34Shouldn't have happened.
46:35But that was small compared to what we have.
46:38Now we have a great military with great people.
46:40Oh, okay.
46:43Yeah, please.
46:45Mr. President, congratulations.
46:46A couple of very different questions.
46:48One is Rwanda, 1994.
46:50As you grew up in New York, we all knew how horrific those attacks were.
46:54Congratulations on that treaty.
46:56There are talks that perhaps...
46:57That's going to take place today at 3 o'clock in the Oval Office.
47:00We're going to have a signing with Rwanda and the Congo.
47:03So I'm a little out of my league in that one because I didn't know too much about it.
47:08I knew one thing.
47:08They were going at it for many years and with machetes.
47:13It is one of the worst, one of the worst wars that anyone's ever seen.
47:17And I just happened to have somebody that was able to get it settled.
47:21I mean, just a brilliant person who is very comfortable in that part of the world.
47:25It's a very dangerous part of the world.
47:27They said, are you uncomfortable there?
47:29People are being killed.
47:31Schoolchildren are being raided and killed.
47:33And I don't even want to say how, but as viciously as I've ever heard.
47:37Are you uncomfortable?
47:38No, that's the part of the world that I know.
47:41Very comfortable.
47:42Was able to get them together and sell it.
47:44And not only that, we're getting for the United States a lot of the mineral rights from the Congo as part of it.
47:50They're so honored to be here.
47:52They never thought they'd be coming to it.
47:53Look, this is a very tough part of the world.
47:56They never thought, they were just telling me, they never thought they'd ever be coming to the White House.
48:00And they're so honored.
48:02And so we're going to give them a great big reception.
48:04But that's after many years of fighting.
48:05It's a great thing.
48:06That's at 3 o'clock, I believe.
48:11Sir, are you concerned at all about secret nuclear sites in Iran?
48:16Secret nuclear sites?
48:18Yes.
48:18There might be some of them.
48:19Not really.
48:20Can I tell you?
48:21They're exhausted.
48:23And Israel's exhausted, too.
48:26And I dealt with both of them.
48:28And they both wanted it settled, both of them.
48:31And we did a great job.
48:33But they're exhausted.
48:33The last thing they're thinking about right now is nuclear.
48:37You know what they're thinking of?
48:38They're thinking about tomorrow, trying to live.
48:41It's such a mess.
48:42It's such a mess.
48:43The place was bombed to hell.
48:45And no, I'm not worried about it at all.
48:49And I'm putting out a little statement.
48:51I'm going to respond to the Ayatollah's statement yesterday that we won the war.
48:58We won the war.
48:59And I said, look, you're a man of great faith, a man who's highly respected in this country.
49:05You have to tell the truth.
49:06You got beat to hell.
49:08And Israel was beat up, too.
49:11They were both beat up.
49:12And it was a great time to end it.
49:14It was quick.
49:16They got the hate out.
49:17There was a lot of hate.
49:18A lot of hate.
49:19It would be great if they didn't have that hate.
49:20But the last thing they're thinking about is nuclear weapons right now.
49:30Thank you, Mr. President.
49:32Iris Howe with NTD Researcher Media with the Apoch Times.
49:34Thank you so much for doing this.
49:35It's very refreshing for all of us here.
49:37It's a good group.
49:37In this room.
49:39It's refreshing?
49:40Very refreshing.
49:41Yes.
49:41We have this in, you know.
49:43I understand what you mean.
49:45So thank you so much for coming out here.
49:46Other than Caroline's done a great job.
49:48You're referring to the past administration, not to Caroline.
49:52Yes.
49:53Back to the ruling today, if you don't mind.
49:55So you have always talked about winning for the American people.
49:59How do you think today's ruling will enable you to further deliver for American families
50:03and workers across the country, not only when it comes to immigration,
50:06but also when it comes to trade, energy, what actions are you most eager to move forward?
50:10Well, I think taking power away from these absolutely crazy radical left judges is a tremendous.
50:17This is such a big day.
50:20This is such a big day.
50:21It's like it's sort of sad because we're doing the signing at three o'clock.
50:26And I, you know, this may very well dominate the signing of a big war that was going on
50:30and really affecting the continent of think of it.
50:33The entire continent of Africa was being affected.
50:36And we said we're settling that war today.
50:38And this will probably be your headline.
50:41But this is a very big moment.
50:43And it gives power back to people that should have it, including Congress, including the presidency.
50:50And it only takes bad power away from judges.
50:54It really doesn't take power.
50:54It takes bad power, sick power, and unfair power.
50:58And it's really going to be – this is a very monumental decision.
51:02Yeah, please.
51:03Yeah, Mr. President.
51:03Thank you very much.
51:04On July 9th, is that July 9th date set for tariffs to a snapback?
51:10Or could they – could there be a –
51:12We can do whatever we want.
51:13We could extend it.
51:14We could make it shorter.
51:15I'd like to make it shorter.
51:16I'd like to just send letters out to everybody.
51:18Congratulations.
51:19You're paying 25%.
51:21He doesn't want – he's a much nicer person than I am.
51:25Go ahead.
51:28Did you finish it up?
51:29Who are you considering for the Federal Reserve then?
51:32And are you speeding up that process, I see, Secretary?
51:34Oh, he's terrible.
51:35He's terrible.
51:36I mean, I have a list of things.
51:37We're like 38 on the list.
51:39We pay, you know, Cameroon and different places are paying the same as us.
51:46Because, you know, you have somebody sets a rate at 4% or 4.5%.
51:49It's hard to go out and say we should be paying 1% when you have your so-called experts
51:54doing that.
51:56And the sad part is, you know, as per the question that you asked about tariffs,
52:01we've had the tariffs and we have less inflation than we had before.
52:06What we have is a hell of a lot more money, a hell of a lot more income,
52:10and we shouldn't be paying a rate like that.
52:12In other words, when we pay a rate, I'll tell you, each point is the equivalent of $300 billion.
52:18So if we had it down three points, because I think we should be at one,
52:23you have Switzerland is at 0.25.
52:26In other words, 25% of 1%.
52:28And they're the number one right now.
52:32But we should be the number one.
52:34And soon you're going to have, I believe, I think,
52:36you're going to have where the people will pay, you know, will pay,
52:39like we had a few years ago, where you put up money, you loan money.
52:45And, I mean, you actually, instead of paying, you get paid.
52:47I love that.
52:49I don't know if it's any good, but I love it,
52:51where you put up money and you get paid.
52:54But we should be in a category.
52:56So we should be at the top of the list, not toward the bottom of the list.
52:59But we have a man who's not a smart man,
53:01and he probably has Trump derangement syndrome.
53:03And he's just not a smart person.
53:07What he's doing, though, he's hurting us for years to come.
53:09Because if we borrow money at two points higher than we should be paying,
53:14that's $600 billion.
53:17Wouldn't you say those numbers are about right, Scott?
53:20So it's two points would be about 600, actually more than that,
53:23but about 600 billion dollars.
53:24All because a guy doesn't want to lower the rates.
53:26He's doing the service a very disservice.
53:28And then he goes up and talks about,
53:30I'd like to see costs come down.
53:31And, you know, he gets up and he does his little thing for five minutes,
53:34and he goes out and he goes back to the beach.
53:36He goes, I'd like to see costs come down.
53:38Well, he could lower the interest costs by $900 billion a year.
53:43All he has to do is lower rates.
53:45And everybody's saying,
53:46I was watching some of the business shows today,
53:48and they're saying, you know, Trump's right.
53:50He should really be cutting.
53:52The country's doing well.
53:53We have no inflation.
53:54Now, despite him, we're doing great.
53:57But if we got the rates down, we would be a rocket ship.
54:00So I think that'll be it.
54:02And I just want to thank everybody.
54:04This is a really big day.
54:05We've had a big week.
54:08You know, we've had a big week.
54:09We've had a lot of victories this week.
54:11NATO was a tremendous victory.
54:14The war was a tremendous.
54:16Look, we were talking about this for 30 years,
54:18about Iran being nuclear.
54:21And all I said is,
54:22it will not be nuclear,
54:23and it's not going to be nuclear.
54:25And, you know, I want to give credit to a lot of people,
54:29and most importantly, to our great military.
54:31Boy, they put out that fire.
54:33Once that happened, once those bombs got dropped,
54:35that war was over.
54:37That war was over.
54:38But I just want to compliment them.
54:40Incredible.
54:40The general and all of his generals.
54:43Pete Hegseth was great.
54:46They were over.
54:46Now I want to compliment Pam.
54:49A lot of genius went into this.
54:51You know, people,
54:52if you don't say it exactly right,
54:53if the Supreme Court doesn't get it
54:55because it's incorrectly spoken about,
54:58and that happens.
54:59A lot of cases are lost
55:00because they don't say the right words.
55:03But I want to correct it.
55:04She's going to go down as a great attorney general.
55:06I may change my mind about that.
55:08I don't know.
55:09Maybe someday I'll set a call and say,
55:10I was only kidding.
55:12She's going to go down as a great attorney general.
55:14This was a tremendous win.
55:15And we've had tremendous wins,
55:16but this was a tremendous win today.
55:18So I just want to congratulate you
55:20and Todd and your whole staff.
55:23Very brilliant people.
55:24And we can't forget John Sauer.
55:25That's right.
55:26Who is with,
55:27there's a medical emergency within his family.
55:30So he's taking care of that.
55:31And we said absolutely.
55:32So I just want to thank everybody very much.
55:37Thank you, Mr. President.
55:41Thank you, sir.
