[0:00]Okay, >> Mr. President, what did Jeffrey Epste mean in his emails that you said you knew about the girls? >> I know nothing about that. They would have announced that a long time ago.
[0:11]It's really what did he mean when he spent all the time with Bill Clinton, with the president of Harvard, you know, that is Summers, uh, Larry Summers, whatever his name is, and all of the
[0:22]other people that he spent time with, Jeffrey Epson and I had a very bad relationship for many years. But he also saw a strike because I was president. So he dictated a couple of
[0:33]memos to himself. Give me a break. You're going to find out what did he know with respect to Bill Clinton, with respect to the head of Harvard, with respect to all of those people that he
[0:44]knew, including JP Morgan Chase. Venezuela >> on Venezuela. Sir, you've had a lot of
[0:54]meetings on Venezuela. I know you can't tell us what your next steps will be, but can you say, have you made up your mind on what you'd like to do as far as action? >> I sort of have made up my mind. >> You have I can't tell you what it would
[1:06]be, but I I certainly >> What do you say to your some of your supporters who might not be excited about another campaign? >> Well, we'll see what happens. I mean,
[1:16]uh, I can't tell you what it is, but we've made a lot of progress with Venezuela in terms of stopping drugs from pouring in, but we have a Mexico problem. We have a Colombia problem,
[1:27]treating Colombia in the country. Uh, we'll uh, we're doing very well. Drugs coming into our country are greatly slowed, as you can imagine. On the terminal
[1:38]change, their message for ability, >> I just want to bring down something. Look, for the most part, the foods where we cut back a little bit on those tariffs, we'll get the price down, but
[1:50]they're not competitive in this country, like tomatoes and bananas and things, we don't make them in this country. So, there's no protection of our industries or our food products. So, what we're
[2:02]going to do is we cut back and see prices come down even lower. You have to understand, we've all suffered from the Biden crisis, which were much higher than they are right now. But I'll be
[2:12]able to get them down even lower, at least a little bit more. Possibly in some cases a lot more. >> More rollbacks in the future with your tariff policies. Will there be more roll backs in the future? Will you change
[2:23]anything else with tariffs? >> I don't think it would be necessary. We just did a little bit of a roll back, but some foods like coffee as an example where the prices of coffee were a little
[2:33]bit high. Now they'll be on the low side in a very short period of time. And we're very good at this. The problem is we inherited a country. We took over January 20th where the prices were
[2:44]through the roof. So they were up 30, 40, 50%. If we got them down 30%. That means they're still higher than where they were. We had a great we had a great
[2:55]four years. And I think this is going to be even much better. And in terms of affordability, it's not a good word for the Democrats. It's a good word for us because our prices are much lower and
[3:06]will certainly be much much lower than they were under the Democrats. President, Mr. President, my news of the Telegraph has led the way in explaining
[3:15]>> you the telegraph. What a job you did. >> What a job you did. >> Are you proud of yourselves? >> We've had a good We catch BBC like that.
[3:25]We have good sources. >> Honestly, congratulations. You did a great service to a lot of countries, a lot of great human beings. If you want
[3:35]to know the truth that exposing what fake news is all about, what BBC did, nobody would even think a thing like that last night. They actually changed the words coming out of my mouth. So the
[3:46]BBC has apologized and retracted the report when they say they won't pay any compensation. >> Well, we'll sue them. We'll sue them for anywhere between a billion and 5 billion
[3:58]probably sometime next week. So you're really >> Well, I think I have to do it. I mean, it's they've even admitted that they cheated. >> I mean, not that they couldn't have not
[4:08]done that. They cheated. They changed the words coming out of my mouth. That's worse than what CBS did with Cabo. They changed her answer, but they said it showed, you know, coming out of her mouth.
[4:20]>> Do you think it's appropriate that British TV viewers have to pay woman $200 just for a bike to watch television? getting the license. >> Well, I don't know what they're doing,
[4:30]uh, in a place that I like a lot, the general UK, right? But, uh, the people of the UK are very angry about what happened, as you can imagine, because it
[4:41]shows the BBC is fake news. Was you and I knew that for a long time, but we didn't know it was this fake. How do you raised the issue with Sakir Stalin? I have not, but I'll call him. I'm going
[4:53]to call him over the weekend. He actually put a caller to me. He's very embarrassed by it. You know, that's I don't know what percentage is owned by the country, but regardless if it's
[5:04]small or large or nothing, I can say this. The UK is very very embarrassed by BBC what they did. Mr. President, you said that the tariffs do not increase
[5:14]prices for consumers, but now you're lower on. >> I say they don't. I say they may in some cases, but to a large extent, they've been bored by the country. as an
[5:23]example, we have virtually no inflation and yet we've taken in hundreds of billions of dollars. So we've taken in hundreds of millions of dollars. We've
[5:33]used tariffs to stop wars. You look at India and Pakistan, look at so many wars I stopped just by saying I'm going to impose tariffs on your country if you're going to have war.
[5:43]>> So yeah, in that case was nuclear war and I stopped it by using tariffs. But often times and to a large extent the
[5:53]countries themselves pick up the tab the companies pick up the tab and I find that based on inflation we have virtually no inflation when I inherited
[6:04]the country from sleepy Joe Biden the inflation it was the highest inflation in the history of our country or at least 48 years they used 48 I I say it
[6:16]was the history we don't have we have now a low inflation going to be very soon even lower. But we'll get some of the prices down a little bit which will
[6:26]bring them down to a new level. How much of that is being picked up by Americans? Uh I think very little. I mean I really think very little. If you look at it and when you add the trillions of dollars
[6:38]that the c our now our country is making when you add the fact that I'll be giving back $2,000 or so to middle inome people low income people everybody but
[6:49]the rich will be giving $2,000 back and you add that in. When you add the fact that our country is extremely rich or we have no wars and we respect it again.
[6:59]When you add the fact that when China was threatening to us in terms of rare earth, I was able to solve it just by putting tariffs on China and we made a deal a week later. When you add all of
[7:10]the benefits, the single greatest thing we have right now is the use of tariffs and I used them properly uh for years. They've been used against us. And I
[7:22]think uh you know whether you call them tariffs or anything else, if you didn't use them, you really would have an unguarded disaster in your hands. >> Will those $2,000 payments will that be
[7:33]inflationary? Cuz previously Republicans instead of sending money to people like under the difference is this is money earned as opposed to money that was made up. You know, that money was made up.
[7:44]Biden gave like the inflation reduction act which did not reduce inflation and it wasn't meant to and they admitted it was a phony name but they spend hundreds
[7:54]of billions of dollars on a fake deal called the inflation reduction act that was made up money when I spend when I
[8:02]pay people $2,000 each for uh low and moderate income and middle inome people. Everybody but the rich get this. Uh that's not made up. That's real money.
[8:13]that comes from other countries. Yeah. >> Speaking of China, since you've made the deal, since you struck the deal with them, is the Chinese agreed to actually purchase any soybeans, if they locked in any soybean?
[8:25]>> Yeah, and they're in the process of doing it. We spoke today. They're in the process of doing not only a little bit, but they'll be doing a lot of soybean purchase. >> Do you know when in the spring?
[8:35]>> It's starting before then. I think that it's starting. >> They'll be buying a lot of soybeans, but really Jennifer, a lot of everything else. >> Can you say please or will that your team buy?
[8:46]>> Uh, top of the line. >> Top of the line. >> Just when the rebate checks, sir, how soon Americans see those checks? Will that be in time for Christmas? Probably shopping. >> No, no, not for this year. It'll be next
[8:57]year sometime. >> Do you have a time frame? >> Sometime during the year. Next year. It's a lot of money, but we've taken in a lot of money from tariffs. The tariffs allow us to give a dividend if we want
[9:09]to do that. Now, we're going to div do a dividend and we're also going to be reducing debt. We have because of Biden and others, uh we have a 37 trillion in
[9:20]debt. So, we're going to be doing a dividend which people will enjoy and spend and do what they want, but we're also going to be reducing debt very substantially. >> Wasn't the Supreme Court against you,
[9:30]sir. Is there >> have to do something else? We'll have to figure something out. That would be a very sad day for our country. We used
[9:40]just today I stopped the war. I won't go into which one, but you'll be able to figure it out. >> But I see that was quick. Very smart. Thank you.
[9:51]>> But just today I stopped the war by the use of tariffs. Uh often times I'm able to do that. And if you think of the cost of war, just forget about death, which is number one, but the death within
[10:02]those countries. But that all comes to our in one form or another. It all comes right back to us. Uh I stopped the war just today through the use of tariffs, the threat of tariffs. If we didn't have
[10:14]that, other countries would use tariffs on us and we would have no fair means of fighting back. >> Is that confirmation of anybody in Thailand? >> Uh they're doing great,
[10:25]>> Mr. President. >> They were not doing great. And then and you know they had a conflict as you know sir and I spoke to the prime ministers of both countries and they're doing
[10:35]great. I think they're going to be fine. >> Mr. What are you doing on healthcare subsidies? >> Healthare subsidies is a good question. So Obamacare which is the unaffordable
[10:47]care act it's it is totally unaffordable. We want you see the kind of money the insurance companies are making. Hundreds of billions of dollars.
[10:57]Their stock is up over a thousand% over a period a relatively short period of time. But we're going to be doing what I'm going to be recommending. Not this.
[11:08]Obamacare is a disaster. Far too expensive and lousy healthcare. We're going to give the money to the people to buy their own healthcare. And the kind of money that we give to the insurance
[11:19]companies is more than going to take care of it. People are going to be able to buy their own health insurance and it's going to be great health care and they're going to get paid by the
[11:29]government. The government will be doing it would be one of the greatest deals this country's ever made. So we're instead of giving it to insurance companies, big fat bloated insurance
[11:40]companies, we're giving the money directly to the people to buy their own healthcare. >> Won't Americans buy it from insurance companies? >> Uh some may I mean they'll be
[11:50]negotiating prices really free enterprise. There'll be you know you can do it through an insurance company. You can also buy it direct. You know they have savings accounts. They have a lot of different ways of buying healthcare.
[12:02]>> I've got a question. you asked for an investigation today. The people associated with Epstein. Yeah. Like Reed Hoffman, major Democratic governor. What impact do you hope that kind of investigation can have on? >> I don't know, but I heard they are
[12:13]appointing a US attorney and I hear a really good one to look into. I hear Southern District is going to be looking Jay Clayton and uh he's a great man, a great attorney and he's a highly
[12:25]respected people in the country in terms of law and law enforcement. As you know, he headed up the SEC. He was the head of Sullivan and Cromwell for years. He's
[12:36]one of the most respected people in the country. He's uh been confirmed for the Southern District. And I heard Jay is going to be looking into it. Jay Clayton
[12:46]is a real, you know, he's a real legal gentleman. You're very, very legitimate. >> You believe that president should be able to order investigations? >> Sure. I mean, I'm the chief law
[12:56]enforcement officer of the country. Uh, not that I want to use that, but I am considered the chief law enforcement agent in the country and I'm I'm allowed
[13:06]to do it. I don't want to do it. I'm not doing it. I had nothing to do with that choice. Just an example. I came from Pam Bondi from the DOJ. Uh, but you can't pick a better person
[13:17]than Jay Clayton. He's truly one of the most respected people in that world. >> Are you tracking the Georgia Revo case at all? Did you see the news on that today? >> Which one?
[13:28]>> The Georgia case. The Rico case. Apparently, they're continuing with the investigation into you and your allies related to the 2020 election. >> You mean the Fanny Willis case? >> You think so?
[13:39]>> I can't imagine. I thought that case was over. I was told that case was totally over. >> Mr. President, have you moved out with Florida? >> I haven't even thought about I mean, I
[13:50]haven't thought about it for months. Maybe. I haven't thought about it at all. You're just asking me a question. But I don't talk about that. I don't rule it in or out. I don't I don't even
[13:59]think about it. On FC, Sir Marjorie Green, the congresswoman was on CBS News. She was talking about how the file will be released. We anticipate that will happen in the house. I know you've
[14:11]had problem about the investigation today. >> I don't care about it, but at least you're not. What I think you should do, if you're going to do it, then you have to go into Epstein's friends. Uh this
[14:22]Reed Hoffman spent a lot of time on the island. I I was never in his spasm. Uh Bill Clinton went there supposedly 28 times. Uh you're going to have to look
[14:32]into his threats because you know if they're going to do that and I think the perfect guy to do it would be Southern District. Somebody like Jay Clayton. I understand that's who's been decided.
[14:43]>> But does the congresswoman have a point? >> File. >> Does Marley Green have a point? >> Does she have a point? >> I know nothing about her. Uh >> what a release of all the files. She can
[14:54]have they can have whatever they want. They already do. I think they have 50,000 pages already. Look, this is a Democrat hoax. This is a hoax put out by the Democrat and a couple of few
[15:06]Republicans have gone along with it because they're weak and ineffective. But this is a Democrat hoax to get away from the fact that they just lost the shutdown and they've lost the elections.
[15:16]They've lost the big election to me in a record number. They lost the popular vote. They lost the swing states. They lost everything. I think it was 312 to
[15:27]220 something. So, uh, this is a way of not talking about that. It's a hoax. This is no different than Russia, Russia, Russia. And it's headed up by
[15:37]Democrats and some very weak Republicans. >> I was just wondering if you have a timeline for when you might release more of those files and the Democrats see. >> Well, I don't know about those ones. I
[15:48]know nothing about it, but I understand they released like 40 or 50,000 pages already >> and uh nobody know I will say this, if they had anything, they would have used
[16:00]it before the election. Okay? I can't tell you what they put in since the election, but if they had anything, you don't think they would have used it before the election? They would have
[16:10]gladly used it before the election. Jennifer, >> why were you or why was your team encouraging um Congressman Bober and Congresswoman to not pursue
[16:22]>> because we think it's bad to talk about it because it gets away from the subject of how well the Republicans are doing. We have the greatest economy. We have the largest investment ever made in our
[16:33]country's history. We have all of these great things happening. We have very little inflation whereas he had record setting the biggest inflation in history. All of these things are good. And when you talk about the Epstein
[16:44]hooks, what happens is you're not talking about how well we've done. >> Mr. President, that's the whole purpose behind them. They want to waste people's
[16:53]time and some of the dumber Republicans like that. >> Mr. President subject. Are we going to see >> it's mostly Democrats? Are we going to see more domestic travel from you? Is he
[17:04]trying to sell that message? Are we going to see some >> domestic travel? >> Yeah. Well, I want to spend time here. just come back from a big trip, a very successful trip with China and with uh
[17:14]you know all the countries. I saw many countries over there. We stopped in Malaysia, Japan, South Korea. It was a phenomenal trip. We had a great meeting with President Xi who's you know great
[17:25]leader, great country actually whether you like it or not. China's uh great country, amazing amazing place and Japan amazing place. We stopped at tremendous
[17:36]countries with tremendous leaders and we did really well. We brought back trillions of dollars in trade and other things. Someone agreed someone would say
[17:48]you're spending too much time overseas. Not spending enough time. >> So I heard that Marjgerie Taylor Green said, "Oh gee, I'm spending too much time overseas." So let's say I don't meet with China. You know what's
[17:59]happened right now to Georgia and to every other state? They're not working because your magnets and your rare earths would have kicked in and there wouldn't be a factory in the world that
[18:10]was working. If I didn't have a relationship overseas with China, with Japan, with South Korea, with all of them, Malaysia, I went to Malaysia, but
[18:20]visited many more countries than that. If we didn't do that, if we just stayed right here, you would right now have no factory anywhere in the world that would be working because of rare earth with
[18:30]China. Not only that, we made a deal with China. We take in billions and billions of dollars. We made a deal with Japan. We take in billions of dollars. We made a deal with South Korea. We're
[18:41]taking in billions and billions of dollars. If I would stay home, none of that would be happening. And and by the way, I stay home 95 98% of the time. The
[18:52]last thing I want to do is travel 22 hours in an airplane, as nice as this plane is. So, you know, Marjorie Taylor Green is not any way. I mean, she is a
[19:02]very different thinking than I have. Something happened to her over the last period of a month or two where she changed. I think politically I I think that her constituents aren't going to be
[19:13]happy already. I have people calling me, they want to challenge her to a race in her district in Georgia. And you know, that's too bad. She's lost a wonderful
[19:24]conservative reputation. But when she says don't go overseas, if I didn't go overseas, we might be in a war right now with China. >> Well, nuclear testing, sir. On nuclear
[19:35]testing, sir. Are you receiving any nuclear testing because other people test? We have other countries that test. We have more nuclear weapons than any
[19:45]other country. I'm the one that renovated them and built some and I hated to do it, but I had no choice because they have it. We have more. Russia's second and China is a distant
[19:56]third, but within four or five years they're going to be up with us. What I would like to do is I would like to go duclearization. In other words, where we
[20:05]have a meeting primarily for the top three to cut back on nuclear weapons. That would be a great >> How soon can the test take place though? >> Pretty soon. >> China.
[20:17]>> We're number one. Russia's number two. China's number three. They're catching up. They're quite a bit distant from us right now, but they they'll catch us if we're fighting.
[20:28]>> I think I think the best thing would be, can we denuclearize? [Music] >> Can you tell us why you needed to get an MRI? I understand that the results were good. But what was it for?
[20:39]>> Because it's part of my physical. Getting an MRI is very standard. Why you think I shouldn't have it? Other people. >> No, MRI. >> I had an MRI part of your body.
[20:49]I had an MRI. The doctor said it was the best result he has ever seen as a doctor. That's it. But I had an MRI as
[20:59]part of my standard yearly or every I think they do it every two years, but I have the physical every year and the result was outstanding.
[21:09]>> Is it your brain? You know, I have no idea what they analyzed, but whatever they analyze, they analyzed it well and they said that I had as good a result as
[21:20]I've ever seen. Now, the other thing I took is I took, as you know, a uh advanced, very advanced test on mental
[21:30]acuity because I think a president should have to do that. And as you probably heard, I aced it. I got a perfect score. I got the highest score. I got a perfect score and the only
[21:41]reason I tell you that is it's one subject unlike Biden and others that you can take off your plate. >> The question on nuclear testing is being very specific. Are you saying you want
[21:51]to exploit a warhead? >> I don't want to tell you about that, but we will do nuclear testing like other countries do. We have more nuclear weapons than any other country and we have to test.
[22:02]>> Other countries are not in the last election. Do you think you'll get on the road for the next election? >> Oh yeah. I'll be helping people. >> I'll be on the road helping people. Very important. The midterms are very important.
[22:13]>> And again, I think we should terminate the filibuster. Republicans should terminate the filibuster. The Democrats would do it immediately if they ever got power. And without Mansion and Cinema, they would have done it in the last.
[22:24]>> Would you be open to endorsing someone primary Marjgery Taylor Green giving her latest statements? >> Well, it depends on who runs against her. I mean, I'm no longer much of a fan because I disagree with her policy. when
[22:36]she said that, you know, going uh to foreign countries bringing back trillions of dollars is not important. Do you think I want to go and be on an
[22:45]airplane for 20 hours? Some of you are with me, 22 hours to be exact, travel and then get off and make a speech and get people to invest hundreds of
[22:57]billions of dollars in our country. I'd rather do it without having to go, but if you didn't go, you wouldn't be able to have that kind of result. As an example, Malaysia, uh, if you look at
[23:09]Thailand, I stopped the war in Thailand in Cambodia. If I didn't go to that region, I probably wouldn't have been able to stop that war. That war would have been very costly in terms of lives,
[23:19]but even costly in terms of us. >> Are you meeting with Indiana lawmakers next week? Um, are you meeting with lawmakers from Indiana next week on >> Not that I know of. I might be. I don't know. Well, I guess they're making a
[23:31]decision as to whether or not they want to gain for the Republican party one or two more. By the way, I will say this. I
[23:39]heard one or two more seats. I heard that a big lawsuit will be taking place is what will be taking place concerning the California hoax where they're trying
[23:51]to get five more seats. And California is one of the most dishonest elections ever. They send out tens of millions of ballots to people all over the place.
[24:02]Many of those people get two and three ballots and they come back. California is a disgrace on voting and they're doing something that is very illegal. So
[24:11]we we we are or will be suing California or the five states. >> The Department of Justice voting >> the Department of Justice. Yes. >> You're being headed by the Department of Justice. >> You're meeting with the Saudi crown
[24:22]prince next week. Uh well for the meeting we're honoring uh Saudi Arabia the ground series. >> What are your goals for the meeting? Uh to decide whether to sell F-35 fighter
[24:33]jets to Saudi Arabia. Are you going to do that? >> Well, they wanted to buy a lot of jets. We make the best jets. We make the best missiles. You saw that when we took out
[24:42]the nuclear capability of Iran. No, you know, for 22 years they wanted to do that. No president had the guts to do it. We did it. And Iran is a different place. By the way, Iran wants to
[24:53]negotiate a deal, too. Everybody wants to negotiate with us now. If we didn't have military strength, if we didn't rebuild our military in my first term, and now we continue to do it. Biden
[25:05]dissipated it by giving a chunk to uh the Taliban. Not Not a good idea. So, I'm sorry, >> but you know what the good news is? It was a lot, but relatively very little.
[25:16]>> So, yes, the jets, but you're not sure yet. >> Uh, I'm looking at that. They've asked me to look at it. They want to buy a lot of 35 but they want to buy actually more than that fighter jet
[25:26]>> will Abraham courts be a part of that conversation perhaps getting the Abraham getting Saudi Arabia >> the Abraham Accords will be a part we're going to be discussing I hope that Saudi Arabia will be going into the Abraham
[25:37]courts fairly shortly um we've had tremendous interest in the Abraham Accords since we put Iran out of business okay thank you
[25:48]much thank you Mr. president and Caesar.
