00:00I think he's in good shape.

00:01I was going to ask you, on this one-year anniversary of Butler,

00:05what was going through your mind this morning, Mr. President,

00:07as you woke up to start this new day?

00:12Will you repeat that question?

00:14On this one-year anniversary of Butler,

00:16what was going through your mind this morning when you woke up?

00:18I know that you're praising God you're alive,

00:20but a lot of people want to know how you're taking this day on this one-year anniversary.

00:25God was protecting me.

00:26Maybe because God wanted to see our country do better or do really well,

00:31make America great again.

00:32But God was protecting me, Brian.

00:34I'll tell you, it's the more you think about it, the more you see it.

00:39But, no, I just, I don't like to think about it much.

00:43You know, I have a job to do, so I don't like to think about it much.

00:47It's a little bit of a dangerous profession being president,

00:50but I really don't like to think about it too much.

00:52I think you're better off not thinking about it.

00:54And you were able to accomplish 20 promises so far.

00:57Yeah, and I think we've more than delivered.

01:00Thank you for saying that.

01:01But, you know, we made a lot of promises,

01:03and we've actually given a lot more promises than we even made.

01:07Yeah.

01:07And you add on that a tremendous success with the strike that we had,

01:12getting rid of nuclear weapons in Iran.

01:14That was a big, big strike.

01:16And, you know, when the pilots came to my office,

01:18they were there, as you know,

01:20with some of the other people having to do with that strike.

01:22And they said something very interesting.

01:24They said, you know, we've been practicing this for 22 years,

01:28but no president had the guts to tell us to do it.

01:31But this has been on our minds for many, many years.

01:34And we did it.

01:36And I would say from zero to ten,

01:39with ten being the best, that attack was a 15.

01:42What do you do?

01:43What do you do?
