And I think we'll do what we have to to convince Putin that he can't keep fighting.
Well, I mean, first of all, very symbolic that they're not meeting in Europe. I mean, historically, you'd meet probably in Switzerland.
Think about it. They've gone to Saudi Arabia, which makes the Saudis happy. They have basically taken a step out of the old world, creating a new world. And remember that Saudi Arabia is the first place Trump went when he was elected and sworn in in 2017. So he does feel a deep affection for the crown prince, and he's trying to get him to sign a peace treaty with Israel.
So there's a lot of different things moving here. The sense I get from talking with the president over a number of years, he is increasingly aware, first of all, of the danger of Putin having about 6,000 nuclear weapons and that nuclear war would be horrifying on a scale that none of us can appreciate. Second, he really, I think, wants to be a peacemaker.
I believe personally that his being shot once and almost shot a second time with the sniper who they found at the golf course, I think that had a profound impact on him. And I was reminded, Chris and I did two movies, one about John Paul II going called Nine Days to Change the World. his going back to Poland in 1979, and the other called Ronald Reagan, Rendezvous of Destiny.
When Reagan and John Paul meet in 1982, they are comparing notes because they'd both been shot. And they said, why did God spare us? And they decided God had spared them to defeat the Soviet empire. And they agreed to make basically an alliance to defeat the Soviet empire.
Well, I think in a very similar way, Trump said, this is not hidden, he said in his inaugural address that he believes God spared him to make America great again. And I think that that is about as deep a feeling as you can have. And I think that he believes that part of that is not just here at home, but part of it is trying to make the world a safer and a better place, whether it's in Gaza or
or Ukraine, or a number of other places, you're going to see him, I think, have an impact. And he's begun to assemble a team, as you pointed out. When you have somebody as good as Marco Rubio as your Secretary of State, you have a negotiator as effective as Steve Witkoff, and you have a national security advisor as realistic and smart as Mike Waltz, you really have a pretty remarkable team.
So Trumpism, if you will, is both having an impact inside the U.S., but it's also having an impact all around the world.
If we can pass a tax cut by May or June and have this economy roaring next year and keep the House next year, this administration is going to lead to a boom on such a scale. And this is part of what J.D. Vance talked about in Paris on artificial intelligence, that the United States is just going to pull away from the rest of the planet. And it's not even going to be close.
And at that point, the idea of somebody creating an alternative currency is just silly. It won't happen. It can't happen. The dollar will be dominant, certainly for the rest of your life and probably for your grandchildren's life.
Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks. I want to thank Charlie. He's an incredible guy. His spirit, his love of this country. He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
Some fled famine and poverty, others sought religious freedom, and some came for the possibility of a better life.
Well, I think it was inspired by Calista because her grandmother came to the United States legally from Poland through Ellis Island, as did something like 12 million other people. And so we believe deeply in legal immigration. And we are strongly opposed to illegal immigration.
And we want to make the case that people who have come here legally, some famous like Henry Kissinger, others like Maria Dome, who had been adopted from a Siberian orphanage and went on to become the first woman certified by the Marine Corps as a combat infantryman, all of them in their own unique way has made America a better wealthier, more secure country.
And it's important that we find ways to strengthen legal immigration at the very same time that we control the border and we deport people who are here illegally. So that's why we did it. We're very proud that PBS picked it up and that people can find it streaming at pbs.org. And I think they'll find that it's a very educational and at the same time a very interesting show.
You know, when Colist and I were in the Rotunda listening to the speech, it hit me that it's the most revolutionary inaugural address ever. in American history. The next morning, I went and read Jefferson's first and second inaugurals, Andrew Jackson's first inaugural, and Franklin Delano Roosevelt's first inaugural. And sure enough, Donald Trump on Monday gave the most revolutionary speech.
If you read it and think about it, it's about cultural change. It's about political change. It's about economic change. It's about governmental change. And it's about changes in our role in the world. All those in 30 minutes, clear, decisive. And then what's amazing is instantaneously, he began implementing it with hundreds of executive orders. He has in the last five days,
I think, done almost as much as Franklin Roosevelt did in 100 days. And in fact, I told him that if he keeps this up for 10 days, he will have passed Franklin Roosevelt's 100 days. And he shows no sign of slowing down. And if you saw him speaking to Davos by television, he laid it out for the business leaders of the world. You want to create jobs in America, you're going to have low taxes.
You want to create jobs overseas and try to sell in America, you're going to have a tariff. I think that was probably a huge sobering shock to many of those business leaders. And you've already seen several groups come together to commit $500 billion for artificial intelligence. The head of Saudi Arabia has pledged $600 billion in investments in the United States.
