00:00I don't know. We'll see what happens.

00:02We just had a sense of your differences in political persuasion when Nigel Farage and Sadiq Khan came into the conversation.

00:09I wonder if you have any advice for a very divided, polarized world on how you make more of a relationship.

00:16Not differences, yeah. Not differences.

00:19I happen to like both men. I like this man a lot.

00:23And I like Nigel.

00:25And, you know, I don't know the politics over here.

00:27I don't know where they stand.

00:29I would say one is slightly liberal, not that liberal, slightly.

00:34And the other one is slightly conservative.

00:36But they're both good men.

00:40Mr. President, what do you think?

00:41Look, I mean, we like each other. We respect each other.

00:45We get on.

00:46And we've both got a great love of our countries, of our families.

00:52And therefore, there's a huge amount that we have already achieved, actually, together.

00:57And we'll achieve, as we go forward, leading our respective countries.

01:01And, of course, the relationship between our countries.

01:04Donald, we were talking about this this morning.

01:06That whether it's defense, security, intelligence sharing, it's a close, historic relationship.

01:14We have fought together in the past.

01:17We've always stood together.

01:18And I, for one, I'm very pleased that we've got such a good personal relationship between us.

01:25And I think it just shows that even if you come from different political perspectives, different backgrounds,

01:31actually, there's a huge amount of common ground when it comes to what is in the best interests of our two great countries.

01:37And they are two great countries.

01:39And I think that because we focus on what's best for our countries, we get along very well.

01:45And I'm very pleased that that's the case.

01:47Mr. President.

01:48Well, I do know he wants to cut taxes as much as he can.

01:51And, you know, politics is pretty simple.

01:53I assume there's a thing going on between you and Nigel.

01:59And it's OK.

01:59You know, it's two parties.

02:01But generally speaking, the one who cuts taxes the most, the one who gives you the lowest energy prices and the best kind of energy,

02:08the one that keeps you out of wars.

02:11He's kept you out of wars.

02:12But the one that keeps you out of wars.

02:14You know, you have a few basics.

02:15And you can go back a thousand years, a million years, whoever does these things.

02:20But low taxes, keep us safe, keep us out of wars, no crime, stop the crime.

02:27And in your case, a big immigration component, you know, because I know that your attitude has become strong on immigration,

02:36strong on the toughness of immigration.

02:38But I think whoever is going to be, I think I won because of, I think I won because we had a lousy president, to be honest with you.

02:45We had an incompetent president.

02:47But I won because of, I was very strong on immigration.

02:51Now, we had inflation.

02:53We had sort of a bad economy with this guy.

02:56We had a lot of problems.

02:57But I focused on immigration more than I did anything else.

03:01And I think I won because of immigration.

03:03I think I won because of the border.

03:05I had a bad border where millions of people were coming in to our country illegally.

03:09And as you know, in last month, zero people came into our country illegally, zero.

03:15So we went from a bad, incompetently run border to the most competently run border that anybody's ever seen.

03:23So we went from a bad, we did not go in to our country.
