Donald Trump (clips)

But once you go back a couple of years, if I were in charge and the country is doing what nobody was going to ask me to speak, nobody asked Joe Biden to come up and speak.

I guarantee you that.

And if they did, he would have turned them down.

I promise you he didn't speak.

He didn't speak and he didn't speak well.

But all of the countries in the Middle East, it could have what we what we're doing now.

It could have happened a long time ago, but it was strangled and set back almost irretrievably by the administrations of Barack Obama and then Joe Biden.

We have hungry.

Oh, Victor, where is Victor?

Victor, Victor.

We love Victor.

Victor, I call him.

You know, I put the little the little accent on it.

You are fantastic.

All right.

I know a lot of people don't agree with me, but I'm the only one that matters.

What?

You are fantastic.

He's a great leader.

I endorsed him the last election.

He had anyone by 28 points.

So you're going to do even better this time if you have another election and you're going to do great.

And we appreciate it.

There's a lot of respect and I think you'll see some tremendous progress both in the Middle

So you have Armenia and you have Bahrain, you have Canada.

It's so great to have.

In fact, the president called and he wanted to know

If it's worthwhile, he knew exactly what it was he knew.

The importance.

Where is Canada, by the way?

Where are you?

Where are you?

He knew the importance of this.

He said, I want to be there.

So many people have done that.

They called.

I mean, they heard about it.

And these are not people that can do that very easily.

They have pretty big schedules to put it in mind.

The most powerful people.

This country is doing very well.

It has good leadership.

It's about leadership.

And it's really nice when you say, how is your crime situation?

Italy, we have a woman, a young woman who's

And they're like, don't even know what you're talking about.

I'm not allowed to say it because usually it's the end of your political career if you say it.

She's a beautiful young woman.

Now, if you use the word beautiful in the United States about a woman, that's the end of your political career.

But I'll take my chances.

Where is she?

There she is.

You don't mind being called beautiful, right?

Because you are.

What do you mean crime?

Thank you very much for coming.

We appreciate it.

She wanted to be here, and she's incredible.

And they really respect her in Italy.

She's

She's a very successful.

We don't have crime.

Because if he has crime, he puts it out very quickly.

Thank you very much, everybody.

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

Some people think that's not nice, but I think it's great.

We're in a country where a friend of mine is a very powerful leader.

And my friend is right here, the president, also the general.

And I've never failed at working like immediately.

Is that right?

How's Caroline doing?

She's doing good.

Would Caroline be replaced?

That's up to you, sir.

I thought she did a great job.

Those lips, they move like a machine gun, right?

I usually call him the general because he's both and he's good at both.

He should beg for help is Trump's message to J.B.

And they've done a fantastic job.

Mr. President, you spoke to... Oh, here we go.

You talked about... Well, they're very strong right now.

What's funny about this new thing that Trump has about how safe it is in authoritarian regimes

The White House border czar Tom Holman was recorded on an FBI surveillance tape in September 2024, accepting $50,000 in cash.

Did he keep that money or give it back?

You said he didn't take a bribe, but I'm not sure you answered the question.

Are you saying that he did not accept the $50,000?

I'm asking you, did he accept the $50,000 that was caught on the surveillance tape?

Did he accept that $50,000 or not?

Next is feigned confusion.

It was recorded on an audio tape in September 2024, an FBI surveillance tape, accepting $50,000 in cash.

Did he keep that money?

So you don't what was caught on the tape?

You're saying right now you don't know whether or not he kept that money.

because they don't play games, that's why.

They don't play games like we do in the United States with governors that have no idea what they're doing.

It's not a weird left-wing rabbit hole.

I didn't insinuate anything.

I asked you whether Tom Holman accepted $50,000, as was heard on an audio tape recorded by the FBI in September 2024, and you did not answer the question.

Thank you for your time this morning.

When you look at an issue like health care and issue like affordability,

has the administration done enough to help the quality of people's lives?

doing very well.

You remember, Jake, it was November of 2019 where he had that surprise visit to Walter Reed.

We're very proud of him.

It was not announced.

I think it was even on a weekend where all of a sudden he went to Walter Reed.

And then again in June.

So if you look at the cadence of that, there have been times when it's more than annual.

Because we knew each other from the beginning.

So in that sense, not that surprising.

But again, I worked at the White House.

I seen that White House medical facility.

It's pretty good.

If you're going to Walter Reed, it's usually for more extensive testing.

The first time I met, it was in a hotel, and I was going to meet him, and then Hillary Clinton was following me.

Well, you know, the way that I would sort of look at it is that I think they're concerning, which is why questions have been asked, investigations have been performed, and the White House medical team has commented on it.

So if you look at the hands, for example, first of all, they say that, look, he's on blood thinners, he shakes a lot of hands.

If you look closely at that, it's more bruising on the right than the left.

The shaking hand, you know, the hand that you shake hands with.

So that kind of fits.

A lifetime of sun damage.

The skin on the back of the hand is quite thin, so it's a little bit more susceptible to bruising like this.

So my point being that it fits.

The explanation sort of fits, attracts.

With regard to the swollen ankles, I think we're pretty clear.

And again, that can be of concern.

But the blood is not flowing through there as well.

It's pooling or accumulating in the ankles.

And they say that is something known as chronic venous insufficiency.

The veins just aren't pumping the blood as well back to the rest of the body.

Remember?

They're not moving the blood as well.

Again, that tracks about one in 20 people have this and it gets more common as you get older.

So, yeah, to just look at it concerning, investigate.

Hillary Clinton.

And those explanations do make sense.

And he liked me so much, he never even got to see Hillary.

Yeah.

And to give context, the the lifespan for a man in this country is just under 76 years old.

So, you know, I mean, both these last two presidents have been far older than average life expectancy.

What we're likely to hear is what we heard back in April.

We're going to hear his his height and his weight, 224 pounds.

His blood pressure was normal.

He saw her for about two seconds.

They've talked a lot about this dementia screening test known as the Montreal Cognitive Assessment.

I think he's taken it a few times now, and his doctors and him say that he's gotten a perfect score.

The skin I just mentioned.

He is on medications, including a couple of different cholesterol-lowering medications.

His cholesterol numbers back in April, they look good, and certainly those medications are helping with that.

But he didn't really want to waste a lot of time.

And he's on aspirin, this blood thinner, which may be contributing to that bruising.

He knew what was going to happen.

But that was the first time we met, and we had a very good chemistry together.

And it continues till today.

So I want to thank you all very much.

I appreciate the way you covered this really momentous... I've never said anything...

I don't call myself Christian.

I call myself a Hindu.

I'm not running to be pastor of Ohio.

I'm running to be governor of Ohio.

And I didn't run to be pastor of America.

I ran to be president of the United States of America.

What's your faith?

Great.

Do you believe in the Holy Trinity, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit?

Good.

Probably not, no.

Great.

And so in my faith, I believe there's one true God.

He resides in all of us and he appears in different forms, but it's one true God.

So I'm an ethical monotheist.

That's the way I would describe my faith.

Do you think it's inappropriate for someone who's a Hindu to be, say, a U.S.

president?

Here we go.

A lot of cash.

The good man right here.

These two men are good men right here.

Hey, I have an idea.

Mr. President, why don't you give him a pardon?

A year ago, the United States of America was a dead country.

Now it's the hottest country anywhere in the world.

It is the hottest.

There's no question about it.

In fact, if you go back a year ago before the election, although once we had November 5th, we became hot because people got it.

I would say November 5th was a time that we became really hot.

$17 trillion, and this is during an eight-month period being invested in the country, which is not only a record, but if you compare $17 trillion to the last year of the Biden administration...

They did $250 billion.

They didn't do $1 trillion for the four-year period.

We did $17 trillion of investment coming in.

A lot of it's because of tariffs and a lot of it's for a lot of other reasons, but there's never been anything like it.

It's an economic crisis.

superstar.

That's what's become.

I was mismanaged and badly handled for a long period of time, but it's not badly handled anymore.

So that's a record.

And remember, that's up until.

eight months, we have another few months to go, and that number's gonna get significantly higher.

Thank you.

Thank you, Chuck.

I would like to say that we inherited the worst inflation in the history of our country.

We had inflation, the likes of which we've really never said.

They say 48 years, and I'll accept that, but I really don't.

We had the worst inflation in the history of our country.

We had a expression that I used a lot, drill, baby, drill.

And as you know, we brought fuel way down, prices way down.

And we don't do wind because wind is a disaster.

It's a very expensive joke, frankly.

And we got our energy prices way down.

That brought the inflation way down.

And now we have very little inflation.

And we have a very, very strong economy.

So that was very important.

Drill, baby, drill.

And you have a great asset here.

And we spoke about it.

It's called the North Sea.

The North Sea oil is phenomenal.

And I hope, because I love this country, you know.

My mother was born in Scotland.

I don't know him, actually.

I had heard that, and...

agree.

You understand?

Yeah.

And we're going to be reducing drug costs over the next year, year and a half by not 50 or 60 percent by a thousand percent.

Because if you think a ten dollar pill going so it'll be raised up from 10 to 20 because it's the world versus us.

So the world is a bigger place.

So it'll go from 10 to 20.

It won't go from 10 to 50 or 60 for them, which is bearable.

And it'll go from 10 to

to 20 for us so you're talking about a monumental change in health care that's going to affect medicare medicaid even social security is going to affect everything that will be one of the biggest things you'll ever see done because we've been paying for the health care of every nation in the world so stupidly okay like literally everything he said there was not just a lie

Look, that's something that should be talked about for licensing, too.

When you have a network and you have evening shows and all they do is hit Trump.

That's all they do.

If you go back, I guess they haven't had a conservative more than years or something, somebody said.

But when you go back and take a look, all they do is interrupt.

They're licensed.

They're not allowed to do that.

They're an arm of the Democrat Party.

I think very good.

And by the way, right there, you see all the trucks.

They just started construction of the new ball for the White House, which is something they've been trying to get, as you know, for about 150 years.

And it's going to be a beauty.

It'll be an absolute and magnificent construction.

And I just see all the trucks.

We just started.

So it'll get done very nicely.

And it'll be

So Trump was asked, how are you holding up?

Now they know it meant a lot, and Mexico...

does what we tell them to do.

And Canada does what we tell them to do because we had the two borders.

We had the northern border, southern border, and they were both horrible.

But now it's, some people say it's a miracle.

It's a singular privilege to be the first American president welcomed here.

And if you think about it, it's a lot of presidents, and this was the second state visit.

And that's the first, and maybe that's going to be the last time.

I hope it is, actually.

But this is truly one of the highest honors of my life, such respect for you and such respect for your country.
