[00:00:00]This is President Donald Trump. I'm just going to skip my read and go to President Trump. Let's listen in to what he has to say. Iranian people Are you considering the Pakistanis as mediators?

[00:00:13]No, they're great. What I think they're great. Mr. President The Pakistanis have been great. The feeling Absolutely great. What Mr. President What is your message Well, I think number one we're going to have a long talk about it.

[00:00:30]I think he's been relatively good to be honest with you.

[00:00:34]We're looking for hostages, no problem.

[00:00:37]We 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.

[00:00:45]And uh I think I think you're going to see that uh good things are going to happen. This is going to be a very exciting trip. A lot of good things are going to happen.

[00:00:53]>> Mr. President Do you think he needs to intervene at all with the Iranians? Do you think he can help in any way?

[00:00:59]>> I don't think so. We need any help with Iran. We'll win it one way or the other.

[00:01:03]We'll win it We'll win it peacefully or otherwise.

[00:01:07]>> Uh their navy's gone. Their air force is gone. Every single element of their war machine is gone.

[00:01:14]Uh they've killed a lot of people.

[00:01:16]They've killed 42,000 people at least over the last month and a half.

[00:01:21]Uh we're going to We win. Mr. President No matter No matter how you cut it. Mr. President What do you think Do you believe Do you believe Mr. Mr. President, Mr. President, do you believe your visit to China will impact of international economy and price of oil?

[00:01:39]>> It's going to be positive. We're going to have a very good meeting. I spoke with President Xi.

[00:01:43]Uh we look forward We both look forward to the meeting. It's going to be great.

[00:01:46]>> Uh Mr. President Mr. President, what is going to be your red line to end the 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 military very soundly. That's over with. The blockade is very effective.

[00:02:11]It's been 100% effective.

[00:02:13]And uh 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.

[00:02:23]So, when oil goes up a little bit, I thought it would go up much more. If you go back 3-4 months ago, when we were contemplating, we assumed oil would go much higher. Yesterday was at $99.

[00:02:36]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 bed. We don't play games. They're not going to have a nuclear weapon. Mr. President, you promised to bring inflation down. Mr. President, you promised to bring inflation down. As now it is at its highest level in 3 years. Are your policies not working? What's happening? They're working incredibly. If you go back to just before the war, for the last 3 months, inflation was at 1.7%.

[00:03:12]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.

[00:03:29]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.

[00:03:45]It's a very simple message. Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon, and they They have a nuclear weapon. And that's 100%.

[00:03:53]Their navy is gone, their air force is gone, their anti-aircraft is gone, their radar is gone, their leaders are gone.

[00:04:01]They're all gone.

[00:04:03]Iran will not have a nuclear weapon.

[00:04:16]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.

[00:04:37]So, as soon as this is a 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 gusher 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. Biden had the highest inflation in the history of our country.

[00:04:59]Inflation is nothing by comparison, but our inflation is It's short-term.

[00:05:05]Cuz if you go from before, just before the war, we were for the last 3 months 1.7% and now what you have is as soon as this war is over, you're going to see inflation go down to probably 1 and 1/2%.

[00:05:41]We have officials who are armed. The message is Chinese people, sir, on the summit.

[00:05:51]>> That is uh President Donald Trump. He's in Washington, D.C. He's preparing for his trip uh to China. He's very optimistic about uh meeting President Xi Jinping. He says that uh the war in Iran will continue until he says that uh they'll be marched victorious.

[00:06:20]Right over here. Right over here.

[00:06:23]Right over here. And based on a lot of things that have happened over the last year, we uh are we doubled the size of the ballroom. So, we're going to have a ballroom that's appropriate for the White House. We doubled the size. Uh the ballroom now is ahead of schedule, and it's a little bit under budget, depending on the finishes that we use.

[00:06:50]Well, let me They're not doing well.

[00:06:52]Cuba is not doing well. It's a failed nation, and we'll be talking about Cuba at the right time.
