So, no, I understand. What he means is, you know, he would

have liked to have captured more. I'm not capturing so much as removing,

you know, removing thousands of people and many yourself deporting because

we're going after him so powerfully that this self time going back, I think

that's one of the big unkept secrets. It's it's with thousands and thousands

of people and their self deporting, they're going back to where they came

from. But what we want really is the

criminals. We're really focused on those criminals,

getting them out. Yeah.

What's your message right now to Democrats and also to Americans that are

stuck in airports? It's really devastating watching it

online because Democrats won't fund DHS. What's what's devastating for Americans

who are now stuck in airports as we speak?

Because Democrats, well, they just don't they want.

Look, this is a deal that was done and a great big, beautiful deal which gave you

the biggest tax cuts ever, including no tax on tips and no tax on Social

Security for the seniors. Think of it, no tax on overtime, tax

deductions. When you buy a car, you take money, pay

interest in the money, deduct it. We've never had that for people buying

cars. If it's an American car, only if it's an

American car. But

they are just what they're.

They stick together. The Democrats, I tell you, I give them

great credit for that. We have some that will they're not good

stickers. We have guys like Tom Massie and

Congress is terribly just terrible, terrible person.

I call them Rand Paul Jr. But they don't vote for Rand Paul.

I mean rarely votes for stuff likes me, says I'm a great president.

He said the other day I'm a great president, one of the greatest

presidents. But I said, do me a favor.

Vote for us and don't call me a great I'd rather have the vote than the

statement. But we have people that don't stick

together and those people hopefully will someday be gone.

The thing I most respect about the Democrats, even on horrible policy, they

stick together. What they do have, though, is horrible

policy. Transgender for everyone.

Open borders, men and women, sports, they have the worst policy that you can

imagine. And so whether they stick together or

not, I mean, they have just this terrible policy.

We have great policy. Republicans have great policy.

We have common sense policy, but it's great policy.

That's our biggest advantage is our policy is correct.

Yeah, please, President are encouraging our allies in the Gulf to be more

involved in the Iran operation. Said, are you encouraging our allies in

the Gulf to be more involved in Iran? Yeah, I've been a little bit, but more

more narrow. I think our Gulf allies have been pretty

good. To be honest with you.

UAE has been hit so hard, he got hit by 1400 rockets, shot him all out of the

air with our great with our great Patriot missiles.

Think of it. They shot 100 missiles at one of our

aircraft carriers, Abraham Lincoln, one of the biggest ships in the world,

actually, and out of 101 missiles shot, every single one of them was knocked

down in the sea. Think of that.

Think what that means. 101 missiles, highly sophisticated, very

fast missile shot out of 101. All 101 was shot down.

And now, for the most part, lie at the bottom of the sea.

And pretty amazing, right? Pretty amazing.

Our military is amazing. You know, the attack I'm talking about

recently, 101 shot. I said, wow, I saw.

You can see we have sort of pretty good equipment that we see.

It's called the red line as red lines with thick red.

I said, That's a lot. And then we saw on one by one just get

shot. And these guys who do the shooting, the

coolest cucumbers ever. You know, most people, you don't have a

lot of time when a missile is going at 2500 miles an hour.

I don't care how far away it is. You don't have a lot of time.

But I watched them. I watched them sit down and think.

Great students at MIT is a lot of MIT is a lot of guys like this and not as much

into the muscle as they are. This one right here.

And amazing just watched them perform under

great pressure because they have a matter of seconds to do it.

If they don't do it properly, it's a big problem, you know, because these were

powerful, these were very powerful missiles coming.

And so a lot of people joke. They don't joke.

These guys don't joke. They're the best in the world.

We have the best in the world. Yeah.

Mr. President, what would be your message

today to the TSA agents who have been staying home in recent days amid this

attack? Well, some of them are needing money,

you know, because the Democrats cut off their money.

I blame the Democrats more than anything else.

But some of them, you know, they didn't get paid because they're not funded by

the Democrats. This is a Democrat problem.

In fact, I actually said to the Senate, why would you say this is a Democrat

problem? I think the polls are showing it's a

Democrat problem and they'll do anything actually to hurt

our country so they can try and win the midterms.

And if we ever went back to our old policies, we wouldn't have a country

left. Get a deal.

Republicans and Democrats in the Senate to fund all but enforcement operations

in place to get those TSA agents repaired and open up the rest of the

department. Would you sign that?

Well, I don't want to comment until I see the deal.

But as you know, they're negotiating a deal.

I guess they're getting fairly close. But I think any deal they make, I'm

pretty much not happy with. And these guys came in, they wouldn't

pay people. You know, they had a deal to pay.

They had to break their deal. The Democrats broke the deal that we

had. It was all done.

Everything was fine. And then they just said, well, we're not

going to pay anymore. And

they hurt our country at a very difficult time because, you know, we

are, as they would say, a war. They call it a war.

I call it a military operation, a very successful one, like successful like

nobody's ever seen before. Hey, Venezuela was equally as successful

as great. That was a great thing, Neal.

The Democrats had a deal. It was a done deal.

And then they said, well, we're not going to pay.

And so they a lot of people suffered over

that and put our country in danger. You have another question.

You haven't been here in a while. Well, it'll run.

Can you give us any more sense of who exactly in Iran it is?

Either would call it issue another left begin with.

Yeah, we had I hate to say this in front of these young people, they're not

children. I spoke to most of them.

They sound like adults to me, even though they are sort of children.

Right. They'll always be your children.

But I hate to say it, but. We killed all their leadership.

And then they met to choose new leaders and we killed all of them.

And now we have a new group and we can easily do that.

But let's see how they turn out. It's we have really regime change.

You know, this is a change in the regime because the leaders are very different

than the ones that we started off with that created all those problems.

So this was I think we can say, Jason, this is regime change, right?

What makes you trust me? I don't trust anybody.

I don't trust you. I mean, that's only because I know you.

But if I didn't know you, I'd probably have more trust.

But I don't trust it. Why?

Why bother? Why do you.

Why do you say that? Why do you say what makes you.

Do you think I trust them or trust them? Why bother talking to them?

Because they're going to make a deal. They're going to make a deal.

They did something yesterday that was amazing, actually.

They gave us a present and the president arrived today.

It was a very big present, worth a tremendous amount of money.

And I'm not going to tell you what that present is, but it was a very

significant. Uh, prize.

And they gave it to us and they said they were going to give it.

So that meant one thing to me would deal with the right people.

Related? No, it wasn't nuclear related.

It was oil and gas related. And it was a very nice thing they did.

But what it showed me is that we're dealing with the right people because,

you know, you don't know because the leadership was killed.

All gone. Khomeini oil gone.

As the expression goes, the past supreme leader and then the new supreme leader

was racked up at a minimum, racked up pretty

good and everyone else was gone. And then many of the people in the third

tier are gone. But we're dealing with a group of people

that I think turn out and they the president, the gift they made to us was

very significant. And they said they were going to do it

and it happened. And they're the only ones that could

have done it. Jennifer, was it related to the Strait

of Hormuz and the flow of. Yeah, it was related to the flow to the

strait. Yeah.

It was negotiating on who's going to control the strait from now on so that

we can we'll have control of anything we want.

Look, if we can end this without more lives being down, without knocking out

$10 billion electric plants that are brand new and the apple of their eye,

I'd like to be able to do that, you know, But.

But we can't have certain things. I mean, you know, the things I'd have to

go over the list. But again, it starts with no nuclear

weapons and they've agreed to that. There won't be any nuclear weapons.

They're not going to have and they're not going to have enrichment,

any of those things. But.

Look, I hate to say that we're in a very good bargaining position.

But. And I hate to say that they're

defenseless because, you know, until that last missile is fired, they have

little power. But we are in about the best bargaining

position. We're way ahead of schedule.

And again, they have no Navy and they have no Air force and they have no

missile protection. And most of their missiles are gone.

Most of their launchers we've killed you know, we've killed about 82% of their

launchers. So even if they had a missile, they

can't launch it. We've been very.

We have the greatest military in the world.

Nobody even comes close. We have the best military equipment in

the world. Go ahead.

On Saudi Arabia, there's been some reporting that you've been talking to

the crown prince. Have you been focused on normalization

between Saudi Arabia and Israel? Well, no.

We have a great relationship with Saudi Arabia.

What do you hear with Saudi Arabia? Just hearing that you've been talking

and that he has been encouraging you to do certain things related to Iran.

Can you can you share a story bit? He does.

Yeah. He's a warrior.

He's fighting with us, by the way. Saudi Arabia has been excellent and

UAE excellent. And I will tell you, Qatar, incredible.

Qatar took a hit, pretty bad hit. Guitars very close.

You know, they're essentially you can walk right over the border.

Qatar took a hit. They've been great.

They've been very strong. Kuwait.

They had a little mishap. They shot down three planes with our

missiles. They happened to be our planes.

But the pilots made it. Can you imagine the pilots making it?

The pilots are always coming. And they said those are patriots.

We're not going to escape patriots. And they got out of there pretty quick.

Right. Pretty amazing that they got out.

The three pilots lived fine. In fact, they're flying today.

It was the Kuwaitis that actually fired a missile.

Yeah, the Kuwaitis made a mistake. They fired They thought they were firing

at the enemy. It was, as the expression goes, friendly

fire. But the pilots are great in flying

today. Pretty amazing when you think of it.

Yeah. President Trump, on a human level, how

hopeful are you that this peace deal will work out like as a human, as one

way and on a human level, not as the president of the United States?

How how hopeful are you that this peace deal will work out with Iran?

You're talking about to end it? Well, I think we're going to end it.

I can't tell you for sure. You know, I don't like to say this.

We've won this war. This war has been won.

The only one that likes to keep it going is the fake news.

I mean, The New York Times, you read The New York Times, it's like we're not

winning a war where they have no Navy and they have no Air force and they have

no nothing. And we literally have planes flying over

Tehran and other parts of their country. They can't do a thing about it.

For instance, if I want to take down that power plant, that very big,

powerful power plant, they can't do a thing about it.

It's like, take me. That's all they can do.

And yet if you read The New York Times or if you watch ABC Fake News or NBC

Fake News, you'd say it's a close battle.

It's not a close battle. They're totally defeated.

You know, we kill their Navy. And would you say three days be gone?

I was a little upset with Pete. I said, Why didn't you save the ships?

We could've used them, right? He said, It's more fun shooting them

down. But the Navy was the Navy was wiped out

in a very rapid order. Pretty impressive for you guys.

You champion wrestlers, right, when you hear this stuff, But you don't.

If you read the news, you don't hear this.

You know, you read like, oh, they're doing wonderfully.

They're doing terribly. They're wiped out militarily.

They are dead. Yeah.

Ukraine is there are no signs of a timeline.

Do you want to get something done before the midterms?

Well, I would like to see a. President Putin and President Zelenskiy

sit down and make a deal. I think they're getting close, but I've

been saying that for a while. I've said all eight wars.

All of them should have been more difficult than this one.

This should have been the easiest one. But these are two people that truly hate

each other. You'll find out that hatred is not good

for making deals. These are people that they don't like

each other very much. Yeah.

I know you said there's a bunch of people from the administration who are

negotiating with Iran. There's been reports that the vice

president is leading those negotiations. Is that true?

Well, he's involved in them. Jada's involved and Marco's involved and

Jared Kushner's involved. Very smart guy.

And and Steve Woodcraft. Smart guy is involved.

And I'm involved. Well, I'm involved.

Why? Well, I'm like, I'm going to be so big.

Go. I don't want to talk about it.

I'm the president of the United States, and I'm not going to talk about it.

It's beneath me to talk about saving millions of lives because that's what

you're talking about. You're talking about saving millions of

lives. If Iran had a nuclear weapon, they would

have used it. And if I didn't end the horrible Barack

Hussein Obama Iran nuclear deal in my first administration, they would have

had a nuclear weapon three or four years ago.

They would have used it. I would have never gotten the chance

probably to be president. Who knows what It would have been so

devastating. And if we didn't send those beautiful

B-2 bombers, they took them off my desk. They were right there.

I don't know why, but if we didn't have those the B-2 hit, which is so we

obliterated despite CNN's and said, well, maybe the word obliteration said,

no, no, we obliterated it, just obliterated their nuclear potential.

You would have had them having two weeks after that attack.

Had we not made the attack, they would have had a nuclear weapon.

They would have absolutely use it and they would have used it on the entire

Middle East, including Israel. And you know why you say that?

Because unexpectedly, when this war broke out unexpectedly, they started

sending missiles to UAE guitar, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain and elsewhere.

And nobody thought they were. Were you equally surprised by that?

We more than we thought. Do you want to give about a three minute

statement on how we're doing in this? As I call it, military operation?

People don't like me using the word war, but so I won't.

But the Democrats go to war. How about a little statement?

And I think he's done a very good job. Do we agree?

He's done a good job, But can we take some of your time?

Well, thank you, Mr. President.

You're spot on. Never in history has a modern military.

Iran had a modern military, a modern navy, a modern air force, modern air

defenses, leadership. Massive bunker.

Never has a modern military been so rapidly and historically obliterated,

defeated from day one with overwhelming firepower.

The air campaign that we've conducted, that Israel's conducted alongside us was

one for the history books, truly, as because we have a president United

States that when he sends his war fighters out to fight, he unties their

hands to actually go out and close with and destroy the enemy as viciously as

possible from moment one. And that's why we see ourselves as part

of this negotiation as well. We negotiate with bombs.

You have a choice as we loiter over the top of Tehran, as the president talked

about, about your future president has made it clear that you will not have a

nuclear weapon. The War Department agrees.

Our job is to ensure that. And so we're keeping our hand on that

throttle as long as as hard as is necessary to ensure the interest of the

United States of America are achieved on that battlefield.

This is not Iraq and Afghanistan. This is not a president who's interested

in in vague and states. He's been very clear with us about what

we need to accomplish, creating the conditions for them never to have a

nuclear capability. And that's exactly what we're doing in

historic fashion. Thank you, Mr.

President. Thank you, Mr.

President. You know, the only two people that were

quite disappointed I don't want to say this, but I have to I said, Pete, in

general, raising Cain, I think this things are going to be settled very

soon. Yeah, they go, oh, that's too bad.

Pete didn't want it to be settled. It's

it's these guys are doing a great job. That's a good attitude.

Their time, Rick. They were not interested in settlement.

They were interested in just winning this thing.
