00:00Yes. President Trump, Laverne McGee News 6, Orlando. You have fulfilled several campaign

00:07promises along with the help of Governor Ron DeSantis. What is the next campaign promise

00:14that you plan to fulfill to the American people? So we have turned this country around in less

00:22than six months. And when I was away and I was telling Ron, I was telling some others,

00:28I've said it a little publicly, I guess, but I met a lot of very important people. The

00:32King of Saudi Arabia, I was there two weeks ago, and Qatar, the leader of Qatar, who's great,

00:39and the leader of UAE, who's great. These are very substantial people, very smart people,

00:44and good people. And all three of them said essentially the same thing, along with many

00:49other people, because I just left NATO. NATO's going to, we took it up to 5%. Nobody can believe

00:54that one run. That would be a hard one. Nobody believes that. What happened to NATO,

00:58over a trillion dollars a year from, like, nothing. It was an honor. But every leader said that

01:04a year ago, this country was dead. They had no confidence in the United. They really felt it was

01:10a dead country, and it was going to, some bad things were going to happen. But they used the term,

01:16it was a dead country. And now they said you have the hottest country anywhere in the world. We're the

01:19hottest country in the world right now. And we turned it around fast. I thought it would take

01:24longer than this. We turned it around fast. Some of it was psychology, and we had to know how good

01:29we were. But others was getting rid of rules, regulations, and all of the things that I got

01:34rid of already. I signed more executive orders than anybody in history times, like three or four.

01:40And I got rid of just one, I got rid of the other night. You buy a house, they have a faucet in the

01:45house, Joe. And the faucet, the water doesn't come out. They have a restrictor. You can't, in areas

01:50where you have so much water, they don't know what to do with it. You have a shower head, the shower

01:55doesn't, the shower doesn't, you think it's not working. It is working. The water's dripping out.

02:01And that's no good for me. I like his hair lacing. I like that hair, nice and wet.

02:07Takes you, you have to stand in the shower for 20 minutes before you get the soap out of your hair.

02:12And I put a thing, and it sounds funny, but it's really not. It's horrible. And when you wash your

02:19hands, you turn on the faucet, no water comes out. You're washing, the water barely comes out.

02:24This was done by crazy people. And I wrote it all off and got it approved in Congress so that they

02:30can't just change it. Because I did it in my first term, everyone was so happy. And then one of the

02:35first things that Biden did when he came back is he put the restriction on showers, toilets, and sinks.

02:40But there's restriction, and washing machines. The washing machine, they give you like a quarter

02:45of this bottle to do your clothing. And people needed 10 of these bottles. And the people came

02:52to me from Whirlpool. They said, we can't make a machine that's competitive. We can't make a

02:55machine that doesn't work. Why? They don't let us use water. Do you have any problems with water?

03:00No, we have so much, we don't know what to do with it. You know, it comes down from heaven, right?

03:04And I approved all of that. The washing machines, the whole thing. The dishwashers,

03:09that was the other one. They give you like this much water right up there to do your dishes. So

03:14people, you know what they do? They keep pressing the button. So they end up doing the dishes 10

03:18times. They end up using more water than you would have used if you did it right in the first

03:22place. So all of that stuff has been written off. It sounds crazy. It's little things. The straw,

03:27I let you go back to a plastic straw. The other, I was tired of having straws melt in my mouth.

03:34You know, it wasn't working. The paper wasn't working too well. So these are little things

03:38that I did. Then we have the big things. We have the biggest things. And that has to do with

03:43some of the subjects we're talking now. I think the things we're talking about now are the biggest,

03:47because if you don't have borders in this country, borders and good elections, and we're working on

03:51that next. There's some bills coming in that's going to make sure that you're a citizen, that

03:57people aren't counted in the voting when, you know, they were here and they're here as illegals and

04:02they're criminals in many cases. And they give them a count and you end up with extra congressmen.

04:06We're going to work on that. We're going to straighten that out next. That's going to be easy

04:09compared to what we were doing. But we did the big things too. But little things like that, a straw,

04:15little things like a washing machine with no water. People go out, they spend all their money on a

04:19washing machine. The damn thing doesn't work. You can't use the water. Then you go to your sink

04:23and that doesn't work either. You're stuck. You know what you do? You have dirty plates the next day.

04:27That's it. And we solved so many common sense problems. And they weren't easy. You know,

04:34there are people that really believe in this stuff. But, you know, most states have so much water,

04:38they don't know what to do with it. And look at North Carolina. I mean, they had a lot of water

04:43and they have to get restrictors on their, you know, on their kitchen faucets. So we're very proud

04:49of the things we did. And we're going to do a lot more of them. Yeah, please. Go ahead.

04:56You guys are in good shape.

04:57It's Eric Bolling. How are you doing, sir? Something we've talked about for

05:00you guys doing, man? Yeah.

05:15Yeah.

05:17You guys are in good shape.

05:22So we're in good shape.
