[0:02]We asked you about all species of deer jayfong.
[0:06]Those young people, they just had too much winning.
[0:09]Too much winning, sir, they know it.
[0:11]And it is a lot of winning.
[0:13]We had the best six months ever.
[0:16]We're now heading to Scotland.
[0:17]I'm meeting with the Prime Minister of UK.
[0:21]Some of you are going, I guess,
[0:22]and a lot of you aren't.
[0:23]Are you going?
[0:24]Huh?
[0:26]Well, you got to get moving.
[0:28]That's a good one. That's going to be a good one.
[0:30]So, we have great numbers we just announced.
[0:33]I don't have to go over it because you've seen them.
[0:35]But we have great economic numbers.
[0:37]The deal with Japan is amazing.
[0:40]You give us $550 billion,
[0:42]and we have totally open access into Japan.
[0:47]Those numbers are great.
[0:49]I mean, the kids actually just said very,
[0:51]very cute, actually.
[0:53]I walked up, they said,
[0:54]Sir, there's too much winning.
[0:55]They picked up on a little routine, you know.
[0:58]Go ahead.
[0:59]The Press, what do you think about the DOJ lawsuit
[1:01]that you filed yesterday against New York City
[1:04]and Mayor Adam in the last few days?
[1:07]The name of the PDD officer in the last few days,
[1:09]John, here's what's going on.
[1:11]Yeah, that's DOJ going against New York.
[1:14]But we're going against a lot of other places, too.
[1:16]We want to bring safety to our cities.
[1:18]But that's a pretty —
[1:20]that's going to be a pretty routine filing
[1:23]with other cities, too.
[1:24]As you know, we've started numerous lawsuits
[1:27]with other cities.
[1:28]We want to bring safety.
[1:29]We've got to get the criminals out.
[1:31]And we're doing it in record numbers.
[1:33]The Press, is the U.S. keeping up on Gaza in negotiations?
[1:38]Yeah, Gaza — they pulled out of Gaza.
[1:41]They pulled out in terms of negotiating.
[1:44]It was too bad.
[1:45]Hamas — Hamas didn't really want to make a deal.
[1:49]I think they want to die, and it's very, very bad.
[1:52]And it got — it got to be to a point
[1:55]where you're going to have to finish the job.
[1:58]They really — they asked for things.
[2:00]Don't forget, we got a lot of hostages out.
[2:03]So, now we're down to the final hostages.
[2:06]And they know what happens after you get the final hostages.
[2:09]And basically, because of that,
[2:11]they really didn't want to make a deal.
[2:13]I saw that. So, they pulled out.
[2:15]And they're going to have to fight,
[2:17]and they're going to have to clean it up.
[2:18]You're going to have to get rid of it.
[2:20]The Press, is the U.S. keeping up on Gaza in negotiations?
[2:28]Well, I don't know about the meeting.
[2:29]I know it's taking place.
[2:30]And he's a fantastic man. He's a great attorney.
[2:36]And people should really focus
[2:37]on how well the country is doing,
[2:39]or they should focus on the fact
[2:41]that Barack Hussein Obama led a coup,
[2:44]or they should focus on the fact
[2:46]that Larry Summers from Harvard,
[2:49]that Bill Clinton, who you know very well,
[2:53]and lots of other friends —
[2:54]really close friends of Jeffrey Summers —
[2:57]should be spoken about.
[2:58]Because, you know, Jeffrey Epstein should be spoken about,
[3:03]and they should speak about them,
[3:04]because they don't talk about them.
[3:06]They talk about me. I have nothing to do with the guys.
[3:08]The Press. Are you considering doing any business with the UK?
[3:15]Yeah, I'm going to meet with the Prime Minister right now.
[3:18]We're going to be over there in about six hours.
[3:21]We're meeting with the Prime Minister tonight.
[3:23]We're going to be talking about the trade deal
[3:24]that we made, and maybe even approve it.
[3:28]The Press. Are you considering climate change?
[3:29]Are you considering climate change?
[3:31]Are you considering climate change?
[3:35]I saw homeless people sleeping right outside the gates
[3:38]of the White House. Are you concerned about that, sir?
[3:40]I think it's terrible,
[3:42]and we'll have them removed immediately.
[3:43]We do remove it.
[3:45]We've got to get the mayor to run this city properly.
[3:48]This city has to be run.
[3:49]You know, I have the right to take it over.
[3:51]And I think it's terrible. Where are they?
[3:53]Where did you see them?
[3:55]Right outside on Pennsylvania Avenue.
[3:58]By the — near the Treasury.
[4:00]The Press. Right across from us, yes, I'm here at the Treasury.
[4:02]The Press. Mr. President, have you heard about Todd
[4:04]Lange's interview with D.A.
[4:05]and Maxwell, and with you, President Trump?
[4:07]The President. I have.
[4:08]The Press. Well, I don't want to talk about that.
[4:11]What I do want to say is that Todd is a great attorney.
[4:14]But you ought to be speaking about Larry Summers.
[4:16]You ought to be speaking about some of his friends
[4:20]that are hedge fund guys. They're all over the place.
[4:23]You ought to be speaking about Bill Clinton,
[4:25]who went to the island 28 times.
[4:27]I never went to the island.
[4:29]The Press. Do you maintain you did not write a letter
[4:30]for Jeffrey Epstein's birthday?
[4:32]The President. I don't even know what they're talking about.
[4:34]Now, somebody could have written a letter and used my name,
[4:36]but that's happened a lot.
[4:38]All you have to do is take a look at the dossier —
[4:40]the fake dossier.
[4:42]Everything is fake with that administration.
[4:44]Everything is fake with the Democrats.
[4:46]Take a look at what they just found about the dossier.
[4:50]Everything is fake. There are a bunch of sick people.
[4:53]Where did you see the people laying outside?
[4:56]Right across from Lafayette Park, sir, towards 15.
[4:58]We'll take care of it.
[5:00]The Press. What are the alternative methods
[5:08]to bring hostages home?
[5:09]The President. Well, we got a lot of them out.
[5:11]And it's — I've always said those last 10 or 20
[5:16]are going to be the toughest,
[5:17]because Hamas knows what happens
[5:19]when they don't have any bargaining chip.
[5:22]And they really broke a deal.
[5:25]They broke a deal.
[5:26]And you're going to have to do
[5:27]what you have to do right now.
[5:28]It's a terrible thing.
[5:30]And I always do that. I said,
[5:32]when you get down to the last one,
[5:34]they're not going to be able to make a deal.
[5:36]The Press. Would you consider a pardon
[5:37]or a commutation for Helene Maxwell if cooperating with —
[5:40]The President. It's something I haven't thought about.
[5:42]It's really something —
[5:43]The Press. But if they recommended it,
[5:44]would you be able to do it?
[5:45]The President. It's something I'm allowed to do it,
[5:46]but it's something I have not thought about.
[5:48]The Press. But you wouldn't rule it out, sir?
[5:49]The Press. Mr. President, why has the dollar —
[5:52]why has the dollar fallen so much?
[5:54]And are you concerned about that?
[5:57]The President. Well, you know,
[5:58]I'm a person that likes a strong dollar,
[6:01]but a weak dollar makes you a hell of a lot more money.
[6:04]Hate to tell you. I don't know if you study it,
[6:06]but I study it.
[6:07]And if you look at the yen —
[6:08]The Press. I went to Penn and worked, so I know this.
[6:11]The President. You understand.
[6:12]The Press. Absolutely.
[6:13]The President. Oh, you did go today.
[6:14]The Press. I went to work, and yes, I did.
[6:15]The President. Well, that means you're a smarter guy
[6:16]than I even thought, and I know you're smart.
[6:19]So, when we have a strong dollar,
[6:22]one thing happens — it sounds good.
[6:25]But you don't do any tourism.
[6:27]You can't sell tractors. You can't sell trucks.
[6:30]You can't sell anything. It is good for inflation.
[6:33]That's about it. And we have no inflation.
[6:36]We wiped out inflation.
[6:38]But it's an interesting question.
[6:40]So, I will never say I like a low currency,
[6:43]but you remember the battles I had with the yuan —
[6:46]with China and with Japan — Japan being the yen.
[6:49]They always wanted a weak currency.
[6:51]They're trying to get a weak currency now.
[6:54]Now, it doesn't sound good,
[6:56]but you make a hell of a lot more money with a weaker dollar —
[6:59]not a weak dollar, but a weaker dollar —
[7:01]than you do with a strong dollar.
[7:03]And the first people that are going to notice it
[7:05]are the manufacturers of trucks and various other things.
[7:08]Like, look at Caterpillar — how well they're doing now.
[7:11]When you have a strong dollar, you can't sell anything.
[7:14]It's only good for inflation.
[7:15]And it's good psychologically. It makes you feel good.
[7:18]But with that being said, I love strong dollars.
[7:22]But you make your money with a currency.
[7:24]And I had so many different fights with President Xi —
[7:28]I mean, between Japan and China,
[7:31]all they want to do is have a weak currency.
[7:33]They're always fighting for a weak currency.
[7:35]And that's how they really dominated over the years.
[7:38]So, when I see it down there,
[7:40]I don't lose sleep over it, let's put it that way.
[7:42]In fact, sometimes I go to sleep very happy.
[7:45]You understand. Do you agree with me?
[7:48]The Press. I agree with a lot of what you said,
[7:50]Mr. President.
[7:51]Do you think it makes it easier to impose your tariff
[7:55]with that lower dollar? Because the —
[7:58]The President. I think it makes it easier even for tariffs.
[8:00]Yeah. And it makes the tariffs worth much more.
[8:04]And it's easier to pay off debt.
[8:07]And it's easier to get a low-interest rate, too.
[8:09]There are a lot of good things.
[8:11]It's hard to explain to people the headline.
[8:13]We go, oh, Trump wants a weak dollar.
[8:15]Not a weak dollar.
[8:16]We — you take a look at the history of China
[8:20]over the last 20 years.
[8:22]All they do is fight for a weak currency.
[8:25]Look at Japan, when they were really doing well.
[8:27]They had a very weak currency.
[8:29]So, to me, I just say, thank you very much.
[8:33]It is what it is.
[8:34]The Press. Mr. President, what's your comment on —
[8:35]The President. It would be giving up
[8:37]on a Gaza peace fight.
[8:39]Well, the Gaza situation — and I said
[8:41]this was going to happen.
[8:42]When you get down to your last 10 or 20 —
[8:44]we got a lot of hostages out.
[8:46]We took them out in numbers
[8:47]that nobody believed — a lot of them.
[8:50]I said, when you get down to 10 or 20,
[8:53]I don't think Amas is going to make a deal
[8:55]because that means they have no protection.
[8:57]And, basically, that's what happened.
[8:59]Amas didn't want to make a deal.
[9:01]I think what's going to happen
[9:07]is they're going to be hunted down.
[9:11]The Press. Sir, have you seen secondary sanctions
[9:12]sooner on Russia?
[9:13]Are you closer today to secondary sanctions?
[9:16]The President. We're looking at that whole situation.
[9:17]It could be that we'll have to put
[9:19]secondary sanctions right now?
[9:20]The Press?
[9:21]Maybe.
[9:22]Yeah.
[9:23]The Press?
[9:23]The Press?
[9:25]The President?
[9:26]Who you with?
[9:27]Who you with?
[9:27]Oh, good.
[9:29]The Press?
[9:31]The Press?
[9:32]The Press?
[9:33]The Press?
[9:34]The Press?
[9:36]The President?
[9:37]Look, he's a different kind of a guy.
[9:39]He's okay.
[9:41]He's a team player, pretty much.
[9:43]But here's the good news.
[9:44]What he says doesn't matter.
[9:46]The Press?
[9:48]I'm going to change it.
[9:49]The Press.
[9:52]Well, he made a statement, friends, Macron.
[9:56]His statement doesn't carry any weight.
[9:58]He's a very good guy.
[9:59]I like him.
[10:00]But that statement doesn't carry weight.
[10:02]The Press.
[10:06]I would say that we have a 50-50 chance, maybe
[10:10]less than that, but a 50-50 chance of making a
[10:13]deal with the EU.
[10:15]And it'll be a deal where they have to buy
[10:17]their tariffs because they're right now at 30
[10:20]percent.
[10:20]And they'll have to buy them down, maybe, or they
[10:23]could leave them the way they are.
[10:25]But they want to make a deal very badly.
[10:27]I would have said we have a 25 percent chance
[10:29]with Japan.
[10:31]And they kept coming back, and we made a deal.
[10:33]And the deal is — don't forget, Japan is
[10:35]putting up $550 billion.
[10:37]It's a lot of money.
[10:39]And also paying tariffs.
[10:42]The biggest part of the Japan deal — and maybe
[10:44]we get this with the EU, maybe we don't — is
[10:46]that we have the right to go in and trade.
[10:49]We have the right — they've totally opened
[10:50]Japan to the — just to the U.S.
[10:53]That's, to me, the biggest part of the deal.
[10:55]The Press.
[10:56]The Press.
[10:57]You said repeatedly you would like to see a
[11:00]further nuclear arms reduction between the
[11:02]United States and Russia.
[11:03]I would like to see that.
[11:05]But the EU has been respiring in about six
[11:08]months, and it cannot be legally extended.
[11:10]That's a problem.
[11:11]That's a problem for the world.
[11:13]The Press.
[11:14]It's a problem for the world.
[11:16]You know, we have restrictions, and they
[11:18]have restrictions, as you know — or nuclear.
[11:22]That's not an agreement you want expiring.
[11:25]We're starting to work on that.
[11:27]But that is a — that is a big problem for the world.
[11:30]When you take off nuclear restrictions,
[11:32]that's a big problem for the world.
[11:34]The Press.
[11:35]I think that Jerome Powell — I think we had
[11:43]a very good meeting.
[11:45]Forgetting about the building.
[11:46]That's out of control and all that.
[11:48]But I think we had a very good meeting on interest rates.
[11:51]And he said to me — now, I don't know if he's
[11:53]going to say this on Thursday or when they
[11:55]ever speak — but he said to me very strongly,
[11:59]the country is doing well.
[12:01]He said, congratulations, the country
[12:04]is doing really well.
[12:06]And I got that to mean that I think he's going
[12:08]to start recommending lower rates.
[12:10]The Press.
[12:11]Because of that conversation?
[12:12]The Press.
[12:13]Mr. President, how do you think that the
[12:15]Supreme Court — the country really is doing well, sir.
[12:16]The Press.
[12:17]Mr. President, how do you think that —
[12:18]The Press.
[12:19]Thank you, Mr. President.
[12:20]How do you think that the Supreme Court's ruling
[12:24]that benefited you on presidential immunity
[12:27]would apply to former President Barack Obama
[12:30]and what you're accusing him of doing?
[12:33]The President.
[12:34]Yeah, it probably helps him a lot.
[12:35]Probably helps him a lot, the immunity ruling.
[12:38]But it doesn't help the people around him at all.
[12:41]But it probably helps him a lot.
[12:43]No, he's — he's done criminal acts.
[12:45]There's no question about it.
[12:47]But he has immunity, and it probably helps him a lot.
[12:50]The Press.
[12:51]Mr. President, how do you think that the UK trade agreement
[12:52]you're hoping to fine-tune?
[12:53]The President.
[12:54]He owes me big.
[12:55]Obama owes me big.
[12:57]What are the details in the UK trade agreement
[13:00]you're hoping to fine-tune with the Prime Minister?
[13:02]This week, we want to talk about certain aspects,
[13:04]which is going to be good for both countries.
[13:06]More fine-tuning. And also, we're going to do
[13:09]a little celebrating together, because, you know,
[13:11]we got along very well.
[13:13]UK has been trying to make a deal with us
[13:14]for, like, 12 years,
[13:16]and haven't been able to do it.
[13:17]We got it done.
[13:19]He's doing a very good job.
[13:20]Good Prime Minister. Good guy.
[13:22]We really get along very well.
[13:24]So we're going to see — we're going to meet at Turnberry,
[13:26]and we're going to meet at Aberdeen.
[13:28]So, two beautiful places.
[13:29]The Press. Is there wiggle room in steel and aluminum
[13:31]if they were to budge on digital purpose attacks?
[13:34]Say it. Is there any wiggle room on steel and aluminum
[13:37]in exchange for any budge on digital purpose attacks?
[13:40]Not a lot, because if I do it for one,
[13:42]I have to do it for all.
[13:43]So, on that, steel and aluminum — not a lot.
[13:46]The Press. Mr. President, did you speak to Netanyahu
[13:48]about aid drops?
[13:49]Mr. President, did you speak to Netanyahu
[13:52]about allowing aid drops in Gaza from Arab countries?
[13:55]I speak to him, but I can't tell you
[13:56]what I spoke to him about.
[13:58]But it was sort of disappointing,
[13:59]although I told you — I mean, I told you,
[14:02]I told you — when you get down to those last 20 hostages,
[14:06]you get down to that last 10 or 20,
[14:09]it's going to be very hard for Hamas to make a deal
[14:11]because they lose their shield, they lose their cover.
[14:14]We got a lot of them out. A lot of them.
[14:16]We took a lot of bodies out, too.
[14:18]You know, so many of the parents said,
[14:20]Please get my son's body back.
[14:22]And we're able to do that. We got a lot of people out —
[14:25]live and people that are not alive.
[14:27]But it was very important to the parents
[14:29]to get their son back,
[14:30]even though they knew their son was dead.
[14:32]Are you going to be able to get the open championship
[14:35]back to Turnberry?
[14:37]I think they will do that.
[14:38]They want — Turnberry is great
[14:40]as the number-one course in the world.
[14:42]I think they'll do that, yeah.
[14:44]Are you going to talk to anybody about that or anything?
[14:45]No, I'm not going to — it's not about that.
[14:48]I'm going to see it for the first time in years.
[14:50]You were there the last time we went.
[14:52]That's pretty good, right?
[14:56]No, it's the best resort in the world,
[14:58]I think, at Turnberry.
[15:00]And it's one of the greatest courses in the world.
[15:03]We're going to see it.
[15:05]We're going to have, I believe, dinner at Turnberry
[15:07]with the Prime Minister.
[15:09]Then we're going to go to the oil capital of Europe,
[15:11]which is Aberdeen.
[15:13]And we're going to have lunches there.
[15:14]We're going to have a good time.
[15:15]I think the Prime Minister and I get along very well.
[15:18]And you're going to see the Scottish leader, too, right?
[15:21]Swinney — God's Swinney.
[15:22]I am.
[15:23]What's that about?
[15:25]Well, we have a lot of things in Scotland.
[15:27]I have a lot of love. My brother was born in Scotland.
[15:30]And he's a good man. The Scottish leader is a good man.
[15:32]So I look forward to meeting him.
[15:33]That's all set up, right?
[15:35]Mr. President, the Marist Day is exactly one week from today.
[15:42]August 1st.
[15:43]What do you expect between now and next Friday,
[15:47]as it relates to your deadline?
[15:49]When you say — you say tariff, not Paris.
[15:52]Tariff.
[15:53]I think you said — I think you said Paris Day, I think.
[15:55]No, Paris Day.
[16:00]Well, most of the deals are finished right now.
[16:03]They're finished because we're just going to charge
[16:05]a certain tariff.
[16:06]A lower tariff than I could get.
[16:07]I don't want to hurt country.
[16:10]But we're going to send a letter out sometimes
[16:13]during the week.
[16:14]And it's basically going to say,
[16:15]You're going to pay 10 percent.
[16:16]You're going to pay 15 percent.
[16:18]You're going to pay maybe less.
[16:19]I don't know. But Australia was great.
[16:21]They opened up beef yesterday for the first time ever.
[16:25]And they did it — we didn't know about it.
[16:26]We asked them to do it, and all of a sudden,
[16:28]we got a word that they wanted —
[16:30]so, obviously, they're looking to do something.
[16:33]But Australia.
[16:35]So, August 1st is going to come,
[16:38]and we will have most of our deals finished,
[16:41]if not all.
[16:42]We haven't really had a lot of luck with Canada.
[16:47]I think Canada could be one where they'll just pay tariff.
[16:50]It's not really a negotiation.
[16:52]We're working very diligently with Europe, the EU,
[16:56]which covers a lot of terrorists —
[16:58]you know, a lot of terrorists. There are a lot of countries.
[17:00]And that's the big one right now.
[17:02]We have the confines of a deal with China.
[17:04]The Press.
[17:05]The Press.
[17:06]We haven't really — we don't have a deal with Canada.
[17:10]We haven't been focused on it.
[17:13]The Press.
[17:14]When you send out those letters,
[17:16]do you believe that will bring some certainty
[17:18]to the financial market?
[17:19]Because then they will know —
[17:20]The President. No, no, when those letters —
[17:22]when those letters go out, they're a page and a half.
[17:26]That means they have a deal. It's done.
[17:27]They pay that tariff.
[17:29]And that is a contract, essentially.
[17:31]And they can come into the country.
[17:33]They're going to pay a tariff.
[17:34]I'm going to keep it minimal. I'm going to keep it —
[17:36]you know, I'm not looking to hurt countries.
[17:38]I could do that, too, but I'm not looking to do that.
[17:42]But when that letter goes out, that's a deal.
[17:44]And we'll be sending maybe close to 200 of those letters out.
[17:47]Don't forget, we have a lot of countries.
[17:49]So we're going to be sending out
[17:50]almost 200 of those letters.
[17:52]But once those letters go out, there — we have a deal.
[17:55]Now, we sent some to — we sent one to Japan,
[17:59]we sent one to EU,
[18:01]and they came back and negotiated a deal.
[18:04]I think EU has got a pretty good chance of making a deal.
[18:07]The Press. With all of that revenue
[18:08]coming in, Mr. President —
[18:10]The President. A lot of money.
[18:11]Our country was a dead country.
[18:16]It was a dead country one year ago.
[18:18]Now we have the hottest country anywhere in the world.
[18:21]And don't you feel it?
[18:23]The Press. Mr. President, with all of that revenue
[18:25]coming in — tens and tens of billions of dollars —
[18:29]do you think there's the possibility of a rebate
[18:32]to the American public in terms of all of that money?
[18:35]The President. We're thinking about that, actually.
[18:37]We have so much money coming in,
[18:39]we're thinking about a little rebate.
[18:41]But the big thing we want to do is pay down debt.
[18:44]But we're thinking about a rebate.
[18:46]That is a very good plan.
[18:47]The Press. Mr. President, with all of that money —
[18:49]The President. You just made a lot of news.
[18:50]We're thinking about a rebate
[18:51]because we have so much money coming in from tariffs that —
[18:55]tariffs that a little rebate for people
[18:58]of a certain income level might be very nice.
[19:01]The Press. Mr. President, with all of that money coming in,
[19:03]do you think there's the possibility of a rebate
[19:05]to the American public in terms of all of that money?
[19:06]The Press. Mr. President, with all of that money coming in,
[19:07]do you think there's the possibility of a rebate
[19:08]to the American public in terms of all of that money?
[19:10]The President. You know, there have been.
[19:12]Come on.
[19:13]We'll be blocked by a lot of people.
[19:14]People don't know this and we didn't certainly
[19:16]get any acknowledgment or thank you,
[19:18]but we contributed $60 million to food
[19:22]and supplies and everything else.
[19:25]We hope the money gets there because, you know,
[19:27]that money gets taken, the food gets taken.
[19:30]We're going to do more. But we gave a lot of money.
[19:33]We gave a majority of the money.
[19:35]The sad part is that no other country
[19:38]other than us gives anything.
[19:40]The Press. Have you spoken to Michael Wotley
[19:42]about running for that North Carolina senator?
[19:43]The President. I have, yeah.
[19:44]The Press. And will he run, do you think?
[19:45]The President. I think he will.
[19:46]The Press. Sir, teachers shortages.
[19:47]Sir, what can be done to get more teachers —
[19:49]The President. What? Are you from North Carolina?
[19:50]The Press. My father lives there.
[19:51]The President. Huh? He'll be a good candidate.
[19:53]The Press. Sir, what can be done to bring more teachers,
[19:56]more educators, into the classroom
[19:58]to alleviate the teacher shortage across the country?
[20:00]The President. We're doing that and we're doing it strongly.
[20:02]What we're doing is moving education back to the states.
[20:05]The states will run education.
[20:07]When they do it, you're going to have the best
[20:09]education in the world.
[20:10]We'll have 35 or 40 states where it will be as good
[20:14]as Sweden, Norway, Denmark.
[20:16]You know, the top five or six countries.
[20:18]The Press How do you attract the top talent,
[20:20]the top teachers, to give them the classes?
[20:22]The President We're going to get them.
[20:23]We already have them.
[20:24]When we bring — when we go back to the states
[20:26]with education, you're going to see a big difference.
[20:28]The Press Mr. President, there's so many
[20:30]folks here who believe in you.
[20:31]You have Elaine Maxwell.
[20:42]The President It's in you, darling.
[20:44]Todd Blanch is a great gentleman.
[20:46]He's a great — he's a great man.
[20:47]The Press Do you trust what she's telling him?
[20:48]The President He's a great lawyer and he's got
[20:49]a great heart.
[20:50]But he's over there now.
[20:51]I don't know exactly what's happening.
[20:53]But I certainly can't talk about partners.
[20:55]The Press Can you trust — can you trust
[20:56]what she's telling him?
[20:57]She's a convicted trafficker who's eager
[20:59]to get out of prison.
[21:00]The President Well, you know, he's a
[21:01]professional lawyer.
[21:01]I think he — he's been through things
[21:03]like this before.
[21:05]But, you know, you should focus on Clinton.
[21:08]You should focus on the President of Harvard,
[21:11]the former President of Harvard.
[21:13]You should focus on some of the hedge fund guys.
[21:15]I'll give you a list.
[21:16]These guys lived with Jeffrey Epstein.
[21:19]I sure as hell didn't.
[21:20]Thank you very much.
[21:55]The President 50-pound man over his head is
[23:44]rolling out of the ring.
[23:45]The President Oh, you're the guy.
[23:46]The President No, he was a — he was the real deal.
[23:48]He was maga all the way.
[23:50]He said, I wish I got to — he said,
[23:51]I've always loved you.
[23:52]You know, we've always been friends.
[23:53]But he wasn't a political guy.
[23:56]And in the last three years, I'd say,
[23:58]he became really political.
[24:00]And he said, I'm so angry at myself for not
[24:03]doing it on — he was happy.
[24:05]But, you know, he took a beating.
[24:07]When you look at the life that they lived,
[24:10]he would wrestle sometimes 200 times a year.
[24:13]Think of that.
[24:14]I say, what do you wrestle every weekend?
[24:16]No, he said, sometimes we wrestle every night.
[24:19]And it's hard to believe.
[24:21]But being a friend, I got to see his life a little bit.
[24:26]And his knees were in trouble.
[24:27]His back was in trouble.
[24:28]He was — he was in such trouble.
[24:31]But he was great.
[24:32]He was a great man.
[24:34]He was an incredible showman.
[24:35]He was really a great friend.
[24:36]And he was a great friend to MAGA.
[24:38]The Press.
[24:39]Mr. President, you signed an executive order
[24:41]to help clean up the streets of America yesterday,
[24:44]help get the homeless people into treatment.
[24:46]Can you talk about why this is a common-sense approach
[24:49]to help make everybody safer?
[24:50]Well, it is. And right outside, we have some tents.
[24:52]I'm getting rid of them right now.
[24:54]You can't do that, especially in Washington, D.C.
[24:57]I talk to the mayor about it all the time.
[25:00]I said, you got to get rid of the tents.
[25:02]You can't have it.
[25:03]When leaders come to see me to make a trade deal
[25:05]for billions and billions and even billions of dollars,
[25:09]and they come into these tents outside of the White House,
[25:11]we can't have that.
[25:12]Mr. President, it doesn't sound nice.
[25:14]But, Mr. President, you want to keep people in Ukraine.
[25:18]You want to keep people in Ukraine.
[25:19]What would it take to force Zelensky
[25:21]and Putin to sit down together, maybe with you?
[25:24]It's going to happen,
[25:26]but it should happen in three months.
[25:28]Mr. President, what is going to happen?
[25:31]What message should Obama be —
[25:32]What is the message to Harvard now that
[25:34]Colombia has agreed to pay 200 million dollars?
[25:35]Well, Harvard wants to settle.
[25:38]But I think Colombia handled it better.
[25:40]Harvard wants to settle.
[25:42]But, you know, they have a very good judge.
[25:43]They have a judge who will almost absolutely rule
[25:47]in their favor, even though it's our case all the way.
[25:51]But they have a very good Obama-appointed judge.
[25:55]And so they'll get a little kick out of that.
[25:57]But ultimately, we win their case.
[25:59]And the bottom line is,
[26:00]we're not going to give any more money to Harvard.
[26:02]We're not giving any more money.
[26:03]They were getting $5 billion and $6 billion, $7.2 billion.
[26:09]We want to spread the wealth of the school.
[26:10]Mr. President, is it true, Obama,
[26:12]that the people around you
