Added: 2026-05-14

[00:00:02]At what point are you done negotiating with Iran?

[00:00:05]>> Well, we're going to see uh what happens.

[00:00:08]>> We're only making a good deal. We have their military is gone. It's wiped out.

[00:00:13]And we're only going to make a good deal. And we'll see what happens, but uh I believe that one way or the other, it's going to be very good for the American people and I think actually very good for the Iranian people. Are you reconsidering the Pakistanis as mediators?

[00:00:29]>> No, they're great. What?

[00:00:31]>> I think they're great. I think the Pakistanis have been great. The field marshall and the prime minister of Pakistan have been absolutely great.

[00:00:40]>> What is your message to President Xi as it relates to the Iran war?

[00:00:44]>> Well, I think number one, we're going to have a long talk about it. Uh I think he's been relatively good to be honest with you. You look at the blockade, no problems. They get a lot of their oil from that area. We've had no problem and he's been a a friend of mine. He's been somebody that we get along with and uh I think you're going to see that good things are going to happen. This is going to be a very exciting trip. A lot of good things are going to happen. He's never >> Do you think he needs to intervene at all with the Iranian help in any way?

[00:01:16]>> No, I don't think we need any help with Iran. We'll win it one way or the other.

[00:01:20]We'll win. We'll win it peacefully or otherwise. Uh, their navy's gone, their air force is gone, every single element of their war machine is gone. They've killed a lot of people. They've killed 42,000 people at least over the last month and a half. Uh, we're going to we win. Mr. President, no matter no matter how you cut it, Mr. President, president, do you believe do you believe, Mr. Kurtis, sir, Mr. President, do you believe your visit to China will impact of international economy and price of oil?

[00:01:56]>> It's going to be a positive. We're going to have a very good meeting. I spoke with President Xi. Uh we look forward, we both look forward to the meeting.

[00:02:02]It's going to be great.

[00:02:05]>> All right. What is Mr. President, what is going to be your red line to end to end the ceasefire for you? What will it take to pull the plug? Well, we're going to see and uh we'll be thinking about it on the flight and we'll be thinking about it for the next little while. But uh we've beaten their militaries very soundly. That's over with. The blockade is very effective. It's been a 100% effective and one way or the other, it's going to work out very well. It's going to work out very well. I think uh you're going to have so much oil, you're going to have a gusher of oil like you've never had before. So when oil goes up a little bit, I thought it would go up much more. If you go back three, four months ago, when we were contemplating, we assumed oil would go much higher.

[00:02:50]Yesterday was at $99.

[00:02:53]And if you think about it, I would have taken that all day long because it's very simple. Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. They will not have a nuclear weapon. They know that. They've agreed to that. And then that's not what they said to me when it came to pay. We don't play games. They're not going to have a nuclear weapon.

[00:03:12]>> Mr. President, you promised to bring infl Mr. President, you promised to bring inflation down. It's now at its highest level in three years. Are your policies not working? What's happening?

[00:03:21]>> Working incredibly. If you go back to just before the war, for the last three months, inflation was at 1.7%.

[00:03:29]Now, we had a choice. Let these lunatics have a nuclear weapon. If you want to do that, then you're a stupid person. And you happen to be. I mean, I know you very well. Uh, anybody that wants them to have a nuclear weapon is a stupid person. So, we said, we're going to take the greatest stock market in history and we're going to go down a little bit. And actually, that turned out to be incorrect because our stock market is now at the highest point in history, which frankly surprised a lot of people.

[00:04:02]It's a very simple message. Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon and they won't have a nuclear and that's 100%. Their navy is gone, their air force is gone, their anti-aircraft is gone, their radar is gone, their leaders are gone. They're all gone. Iran will not have a nuclear weapon.

[00:04:24]China.

[00:04:33]>> We're going to do whatever is necessary and as soon as this war is over, which will not be long, you're going to see oil prices drop and you're going to see a stock market, which is already at the highest point in history, go through the roof. You're going to see the golden age of America, frankly, and you're seeing it now. So, as soon as this is, don't forget, you have hundreds of ships that are loaded up with oil that want to come out. As soon as they come out, we're going to have a gush of oil, and you're going to have inflation that goes way down. Now, with all of this, inflation is much lower than it was under Biden.

[00:05:12]Biden had the highest inflation in the history of our country. Inflation is nothing by comparison, but our inflation is just short term. Because if you go Before just before the war, we were for the last three months 1.7%.

[00:05:29]And now what you have is as soon as this war is over, you're going to see inflation go down to probably one and a half%.

[00:05:45]>> Thank you so much. Mr. President, yesterday are you The not received any army received any officials Chinese people summit.

[00:06:10]>> How's that in your ballroom?

[00:06:11]>> So, what happened is uh we have a ballroom that's under budget. It's going up right here. I've doubled the size of it because we obviously need that. And uh we're right now on budget, under budget, and ahead of schedule. Double double.

[00:06:26]>> I doubled the size of it. You dumb person. Double the size. Cuba.

[00:06:31]>> You are You are not a smart person.

[00:06:37]>> Right over here. What about right over here? And based on a lot of things that have happened over the last year, we uh are we double the size of the ballroom.

[00:06:47]So, we're going to have a ballroom that's appropriate for the White House.

[00:06:51]We double the size. The ballroom now is ahead of schedule and it's a little bit under budget depending on the finishes that WE have number. Does the PRESIDENT OF CUBA HAVE HIS NUMBER?

[00:07:07]>> WELL, you they're not doing well. Cuba is not doing well. It's a failed nation.

[00:07:11]And we'll be talking about Cuba at the right time.

[00:07:15]Mr. Mr. President, Mr. President, let me ask you about Venezuela. Some Venezuelans are concerned that there are some political prisoners still in their prison. Would you do something about that? Are you concerned?

[00:07:27]>> We're going to get them all out. I'll tell you what, Deli is doing a great job. The people of Venezuela are thrilled with what's happening. They can't even believe it. They're dancing in the streets. And as you know, we have Exxon, we have Chevron, we have all of the big companies going in. And Venezuela now is making more money than they've made in the last 25 years.

[00:07:51]>> We, as you know, we let a lot they let a lot of the political prisoners out and the rest will become to resign, sir, or did you fire your >> Well, I don't want to say, but Barney is a great guy. He's a friend of mine. He's a wonderful man, and he's going to be off. and the uh assistant, the deputy is taking over temporarily until we find everybody wants that job. It's a very important job. Barney is a terrific guy, but he's going to go on and he's going to lead a good life.

[00:08:25]>> He was having he was having some difficulty. You know, he's a great doctor and he was having some difficulty, but he's going to go on and he's going to do well. We have everybody wants that job.
