Enhance Your English with U.S. Government News – Trump and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth Deliver Remarks 2025. 3. 21.

0:00 with you i just want to start by saying we had a meeting yesterday on the Department of Education which is being 0:07 moved we’re going to educate the children in their states where they can get a proper education the numbers are 0:14 horrible the way it is and we’re going to make a move that’s very big i don’t think it’s even risky a little bit i 0:21 think it’s going to be amazing should have been done years ago they’ve been talking about doing it for many years 0:26 but nobody ever got it off but we did and uh there was great excitement and 0:33 great acceptance of it by almost everybody including a lot of Democrats actually i do want to say that I’ve 0:41 decided that the SBA the Small Business Administration headed by Kelly Laughler 0:46 terrific person will handle all of the student loan portfolio we have a 0:52 portfolio that’s very large lots of loans tens of thousands of loans pretty 0:59 complicated deal and that’s coming out of the Department of Education 1:04 immediately and it’s going to be headed up by Kelly Laughler SBA and they’re all set for it they’re waiting for it it’ll 1:11 be serviced much better than it has in the past it’s been a mess and also Bobby 1:17 Kennedy the health and human services will be handling special needs and all 1:22 of the nutrition programs and everything else rather complex but that’s going to be headed by and handled by health and 1:30 human services so I think that’ll work out very well those two elements will be taken out of the Department of Education 1:38 and then all we have to do is get the students to get guidance from the people that love them and cherish them 1:45 including their parents by the way or be totally involved in their education along with the boards and the governors 1:52 and the states and it’s going to be a great it’s going to be a great situation i guarantee that in a few years from now 1:58 I hope I’m going to be around to see it but I think we’re going to see a lot of it i think that uh you’re going to have 2:04 tremendous results you’re going to have results like Norway Sweden Denmark a lot 2:09 of the the countries that do so well i think you’re going to have a lot of those results if you look at Iowa and 2:14 Indiana and uh Idaho so many places that run so well uh Florida Texas big ones 2:23 you’re going to have great education much better than it is now at half the cost and we’re not even doing it as a 2:30 cost item although you will save probably half maybe more than that and you’re not going to be at the bottom of 2:36 the list you’re going to be much higher and maybe you’ll be I will guarantee some of the states will be at the top of 2:41 the list they’ll be comparable or better than these number one two three four five country the countries that are in 2:48 the top five positions so that’s to me it’s very exciting and it’s been received very 2:53 well so I just wanted to tell you about the student loans and special needs but we’re here for a reason today that is 3:01 very exciting and I I’m thrilled to announce that at my direction the United 3:06 States Air Force is moving forward with the world’s first sixth generation fighter jet number six sixth 3:14 generation nothing in the world comes even close to it and uh it’ll be known 3:20 as the F-47 the generals picked a title and uh it’s a beautiful number 3:27 F-47 it’s something the likes of which nobody has seen before in terms of all 3:34 of the attributes of a fighter jet there’s never been anything even close to it from speed to maneuverability to 3:40 what it can have to payload and this is uh been in the works for a long period of time 3:47 after a rigorous and thorough competition between some of America’s top aerospace companies the Air Force is 3:54 going to be awarding the contract for the next generation air dominance platform to Boeing as you know was 4:02 highly competed for there was a lot of competition generals and 4:08 uh it’s been going on for a long time very very tough competition but this 4:13 plane is is produced numbers that nobody’s ever seen before the F47 will 4:19 be the most advanced most capable most lethal aircraft ever built an 4:25 experimental version of the plane has secretly been flying for almost 5 years and we’re confident that it massively 4:33 overpowers the capabilities of any other nation there’s no other nation we know every other plane i’ve seen every one of 4:39 them and it’s not even close this is a next level you know level five is good 4:45 this is level six they say the F-47 is equipped with state-of-the-art stealth 4:50 technology it’s virtually unseeable and unprecedented power it’s 4:56 got the most power of any jet of its kind ever made maneuverability likewise 5:03 is the uh there’s never been anything like it despite the power and speed uh 5:09 its speed is top uh it’s over two which is something that you don’t hear very 5:16 often america’s enemies will never see it coming hopefully we won’t have to use 5:21 it for that purpose but you have to have it and uh if it ever happens they won’t know 5:28 what the hell hit them a new fleet of these magnificent planes will be built and the and in the air during my 5:34 administration for the next couple of years it’s ready to go they’ve already 5:40 built much of what has to be built in terms of production including the sheds we’ll 5:46 ensure that the USA continues to dominate the skies we’re given an order for a lot we can’t tell you the price 5:52 because it would give it would give way to some of the technology and some of the size of the planes goodsiz plane 6:00 this contract also represents a historic investment in our defense industrial base helping to keep America at the 6:06 cutting edge of aerospace and technology our allies are calling constantly they 6:12 want to buy them also and we’ll certain allies will be selling them perhaps tone 6:18 down versions we like to tone them down about 10% which probably makes sense 6:24 because someday maybe they’re not our allies right but I would like to ask Secretary Higgs who’s doing a fantastic 6:31 job he’s um he’s really really been very inspiring in so many ways and and I must 6:37 say that before he speaks we have had record people wanting to join our 6:43 military in the last uh two and a half months literally since this uh I think 6:49 probably since the election November 5th but especially since we came to office and and uh since I announced Pete he’s 6:58 young he’s smart he’s strong he loves it and they love him but we’ve had record 7:04 numbers of people wanting to join our military now if you go back six months 7:09 it was the exact opposite you had record numbers of people not wanting to join the military now you have record numbers 7:15 of people wanting to be in our military and uh that’s a really that’s a great 7:20 honor that shows you we’re really on the right track so Pete maybe say a few words sure well Mr president this is a 7:27 big day this is a big day for our war fighters this is a big day for our country a big day in the world the name 7:33 of this program is the next generation of air dominance and Mr mr president 7:38 because of your leadership your clarity uh we are going America is going to have 7:44 a gener generations in the future of air dominance because of this sixth 7:49 generation fighter we’ve had the F-15 we have the had the F-16 the F-18 the F-22 7:56 the F-35 now we have the F47 which sends a very direct clear 8:02 message to our ally allies that we’re not going anywhere and to our enemies that we can we will be able to project 8:09 power around the globe unimpeded for generations to come mr president this is a gift uh to my kids and your kids to my 8:17 grandkids and your grandkids this is a historic investment in the American 8:22 military in the American industrial base in American industry that will help 8:28 revive the warrior ethos inside our military which we’re doing rebuild our military which the previous 8:34 administration did not do by the way Mr president they paused this program and we’re prepared to potentially scrap it 8:40 we know this is cheaper longer range and more stealthy president Trump said “We’re reviving it and we’re doing it.” 8:47 Uh and then we are also going to reestablish deterrence under the previous administration we looked like 8:52 fools not anymore president Trump has reestablished American leadership the F-47 is part of it uh and Mr president 9:00 thank you for having the courage to do it and leading the way for all our war fighters thank you very much Pete one of 9:06 the things I I will say but the generals are generals are going to speak in just a couple of seconds but this plane flies 9:12 with drones it flies with many many drones as many as you want and it’s a 9:18 technology that’s new but it uh it doesn’t fly by itself it flies by with 9:23 many drones as many as we want and that’s something that no other plane can do so I’d like to introduce if I might 9:30 Air Force Chief of Staff General David Alvin and also General Dale White two 9:36 incredible people that I’ve known over the years but I got to know him really well over the last few months and would 9:42 you say a few words please General thank you very much Mr president mr president Mr secretary uh thank you so much for 9:49 your unwavering commitment to our military uh I will say this is a big day 9:54 this is a big day for our United States Air Force as well you know air dominance is not a birthright but it’s become 10:01 synonymous with American air power but air dominance needs to be earned every single day and since the earliest days 10:07 of aerial warfare brave American airmen have jumped into their machines taken to the air and they’ve cleared the skies 10:14 and whether that be clearing the skies so we can rain down destruction on our enemies from above or we can clear the 10:20 path for the ground forces below that’s been our commitment to the fight and that’s really been our promise to 10:25 America and with this F47 as the crown jewel in the next generation air 10:32 dominance family of systems we’re going to be able to keep that promise well into the future 10:37 i also want to thank everyone from industry and within government our engineers who have put worked tirelessly 10:44 on this program to bring it where we are right now today this shows that American talent American skill and American 10:50 determination are second to none because this platform is second to none so we 10:56 believe that this provides more lethality it provides more capability more modernized capability in a way that 11:03 is built to adapt this along with our collaborative combat aircraft the president talked about with 11:09 drones this is allowing us to look into the future and unlock the magic that is 11:16 human machine teaming and as we do that we’re going to write the next generation of modern aerial warfare with this this 11:23 enables us to do this the manner in which we put this program together puts more control in the hands of the 11:29 government so we can update and adapt at the speed of relevance at the speed of technology not at the speed of 11:35 bureau this is more air force this is more options for the president we say as our mission in the 11:42 United States Air Force is to fly fight and win air power anytime anywhere if you want to go anywhere you have to have 11:48 a platform that gets you anywhere this provides the president options from the very one end which is a quick response 11:56 and then we can get right back into fight and stance without having to deploy troops that are going to take maybe months and cost more lives we can 12:03 be back in fighting stance and maybe we restore that deterrence all the way to decisive victory as part of a joint force that is the most lethal and 12:09 capable military ever known history that’s what we provide now and this provide allows us to provide into the 12:15 future it’s more deterrence more capability it’s what peace through strength looks like into the future Mr 12:21 president and so we’re very proud to do that and all we can say is on behalf of us United States Air Force let’s deliver 12:28 thank you very much thank you General you like to say anything no sir i’ll just don’t the chief said this he knows 12:34 what to do generational he knows who the boss is that’s exactly right your security is what it’s all about and this 12:39 is what we’ll deliver that’s great thank you very much great job we’ve worked together long and hard on this and this 12:44 was a a big secret in fact we don’t show too much of the plane for that reason see what we show uh you see how 12:53 beautiful that is but that’s just a very small part of it uh I wasn’t surprised i 12:59 was wondering how much are you going to show when they came in with that you see a wheel in the front that’s about it uh 13:06 any questions mr president Trump is 80,000 pages of documents is a lot to 13:12 sit through can you just tell us who killed Kennedy well you know I was given 13:18 the task of releasing that because many presidents have gone through it and they haven’t released and I said release we 13:25 even released social security numbers i didn’t want anything deleted they said sir what about social security people 13:32 long gone but they’re long gone so I can’t imagine but I said if you don’t uh 13:37 delete it if you do delete it we have people are going to say why did you delete it there’s something in there so 13:43 we gave social security and we gave everything and uh the rest is for you to look at peter you’re going to see 13:48 whether or not uh you see anything but we’ve given it we’re doing it with Dr 13:53 martin Luther King too they’re preparing all of that they’re going to release everything and 13:59 uh whoever else we they want i mean you know we have nothing we really have 14:04 nothing to hide we shouldn’t have you know when a lot of time goes by but uh with the Kennedy files in particular 14:11 they were going crazy on them i I don’t think there’s anything that’s 14:16 earthshattering but you’ll have to make that determination in those you know it’s 80,000 it’s actually 88,000 and we 14:23 have some uh additional things as you know come out today and for that you can go to the offices and you can see 14:30 whatever you want to see everything is out there totally open uh the additional 14:35 stuff is available later on today you go over to the offices and you can have it immediately and you’ll make a 14:41 determination and on something else these trend Arabwa guys because of your 14:46 executive order they are designated as foreign terrorists if ISIS or al-Qaeda 14:52 foreign terrorists were operating here in the United States cops would probably be shooting first and asking questions 15:00 later and so what is the difference between terrorists between somebody like 15:05 an ISIS or an al-Qaeda operative versus a MS-13 or Trenda Araba well these are 15:11 people that focus on destroying people in their homes they’re not as uh 15:17 international in that sense they’re a group of thugs they come from Venezuela they come from the prisons of Venezuela 15:24 they’re very uh very dangerous people but they didn’t look so dangerous when the guards took care of the situation 15:32 from El Salvador and I want to thank the president he’s a friend of mine he’s a he’s done a great job but uh I just 15:40 can’t imagine that the Democrats are taking this issue where they want to have them back you know so now they have 15:46 men playing in women’s sports they have transgender for everyone they have open borders they have all of their crazy 15:52 policies that are I think 955 not 9010 okay and their new policy is let’s bring 16:00 trenagua back into our country let’s bring the worst these are the worst gang members there are they they looked 16:07 amazingly frail though by the way they were handled it’s very amazing you know they weren’t when they were in Colorado 16:13 cutting the fingers off a man because he made a phone call to the police they seemed a lot tougher then than they did 16:19 when they were having their head shaved and they were in shackles they’re tough people they’re bad people we don’t want 16:26 him in our country we can’t let a judge say that he wants him you know he didn’t run for president he didn’t get much 16:32 more than 80 million votes uh and we just can’t let that happen it’d be so 16:37 bad for our country uh I won on the basis of getting criminals out of our country that were let in it was called 16:45 unforced error they were let in by Biden incompetently let in and let in by the 16:51 millions actually 21 million people i believe it’s 21 million uh and that’s 16:56 not even including the gotaways but these are rough people we want them out of our country and I won the election 17:02 based at least partly on that and that’s a big part yeah 17:09 mr i don’t know if you saw this tim Walls is now saying about Trump supporters and forgive me I’m just 17:15 reading a quote from Tim Walls i think I could kick most of their ass oh boy he’d be in trouble is there any way to know 17:22 well he’s a loser yeah I think he’s a loser uh he lost an election he He 17:28 played a part you know usually a vice president doesn’t play a part they say i think Tim played a part i think he was 17:33 so bad that he hurt her but she hurt herself and Joe heard him both they didn’t have a great a great group but I 17:41 would I would probably put him at the bottom of the group have you heard that Biden wants to get back involved for 17:46 Democratic politicians fundraising and campaigning against your policies what do you think of that i hope so i hope so 17:52 Mr president there are several families Mr president there are families from some of the people I will ask from 17:58 Argentina there are families from some of the people that were on those flights to El Salvador that claim that they’re 18:04 not criminals they’re not members of Kendarua of MS 13 what can you tell them 18:10 and what guarantees can you give them that everyone in those planes were 18:16 actual criminals terrorists as you said well I was told that they went through a very strong vetting process and that uh 18:22 that will also be continuing in El Salvador and if there’s anything like 18:28 that we would certainly want to find out but these were these were a bad group this was a bad group and they were in 18:34 bad areas and they were with a lot of other people that were absolutely killers murderers uh and people that 18:41 were really bad with the worst records you’ve ever seen and uh but we will 18:47 continue that process absolutely we don’t want to make that kind of a mistake mr president is the US planning to give up the position of NATO supreme 18:53 allied commander and if so why uh NATO is something that I saved nato was gone 19:00 until I came along in fact the previous secretary general very good man both of 19:06 them are good the current man is fantastic but both of them said “If it wasn’t for Trump you wouldn’t even have 19:12 a NATO.” because we were paying the costs of almost all of the countries and now they’re paying i said “We’re not 19:18 going to do this we’re not going to continue you You hurt us on trade you do bad things on trade and then on top of 19:23 it we’re supposed to pay for your military.” And because of what I did hundreds of billions of dollars flowed 19:29 into NATO by countries that just weren’t paying they were delinquent they weren’t paying their bills uh so NATO is solid 19:37 they’re strong but they uh they have to treat us fairly are we going to give up 19:43 the Because look without us NATO is not the same and I can tell you I’ve been having very good discussions as you know 19:49 with President Zalinsky and with President Putin and President Putin will tell you that without the United States 19:57 uh he wouldn’t be worried but he is worried when the United States is 20:02 involved and I have to tell you uh I’ve dealt very well with both gentlemen and 20:08 we have uh I think we have the confines of a deal i hope we have the confines of a deal i’m doing it for two reasons 20:15 number one and by far most importantly thousands of young people and they’re 20:20 not American people they’re Russian and they’re Ukrainian are being killed every week thousands a week and also the 20:27 United States has has paid because of Biden $350 billion on a war that should 20:33 have never happened if we had a competent president in this right sitting right here that war would have 20:39 never happened it would have absolutely never happened with me and it didn’t happen for four years it didn’t happen 20:45 mr president do you think you have the authority the power to round up people deport them and then you’re under no 20:51 obligation to a court to show the evidence against them well that’s what the law says and that’s what our country 20:56 needs because we were unfortunately they allowed millions of people to come into 21:02 our country totally unvetted totally unchecked so you ought to ask did he have the authority to allow millions of 21:07 people did Biden have the authority to do something that’s unthinkable have 21:12 open borders where millions of people poured into our country totally unvetted and totally unchecked just as you would 21:18 say and many of those people were criminals many of them were from jails and prisons and mental institutions and 21:25 gang members and drug dealers and very dangerous people many were murderers we 21:31 have 11,088 that we know of murderers they murdered of that number at least half 21:37 killed more than one person they were in our country they’re they’re in a location near you uh Biden allowed that 21:44 to happen to our country and his people that really ran the country and the 21:50 person that operated the autopan i think we ought to find out who that was because I guess that was the real 21:55 president so when you ask me if we have the authority did Biden have the authority to allow millions of people to 22:01 come into our country many of these people hardened criminals at the top of 22:06 the line who have caused tremendous damage in our country you see them in New York City fighting with our police i 22:13 mean literally having fist fights in the street with our police these are tough hard criminals many of them came out of 22:20 jails and not just South America from all over the world they came out of from Africa from the Congo they came out from 22:27 Asia not just South America but many from South America these are hard tough 22:32 criminals and we have to get them out and a judge sitting behind a bench someplace got a nice appointment uh you 22:40 can’t take that away from the people that are responsible so now in this case Marco Rubio has a lot of big decisions 22:47 to make and he’s a fantastic person a great man i think he’ll be our best i 22:53 think he has a chance to be our best secretary of state he’s been doing incredible he works so hard he’s stopped 22:59 He’s gone to so many different countries already and he’s got the authority to get bad people out of our country and 23:06 you can’t stop that with a judge sitting behind a bench that has no idea what goes on who happens to be a radical left 23:13 lunatic do you think the judiciary you guys today You guys today are denying You guys are denying this 23:20 New York Times report that Elon Musk was going to be shown a 20 to 30 page presentation about a theoretical war 23:27 plan against China why not just show it to Elon because I I don’t want to show 23:33 it to anybody you know you’re talking about a potential war with China now uh 23:40 I deal with these people all the time and I’m dealing with Pete i’m dealing with these gentlemen on numerous different airplane purchases and I think 23:47 they’re all going to be great but I don’t want other people seeing anybody seeing potential war with China we don’t 23:55 want to have a potential war with China but I can tell you if we did we’re very well equipped to handle it but I don’t 24:00 want to show that to anybody but certainly you wouldn’t show it to a businessman who is helping us so much 24:06 he’s a great patriot he’s taken it’s paying a big price for helping us cut costs and he’s doing a great job he’s 24:12 finding tremendous waste fraud and abuse but I certainly wouldn’t want you know 24:17 Elon has businesses in China and he would be susceptible perhaps to that but 24:22 it was such a fake story the New York Times is just as fake as CNN and MSDNC and uh anybody read that story 24:30 people laughed at that story who would do such a thing and the first thing I did is I called Susie and I called Pete 24:38 i said “Is there any truth to that?” And they they said “It’s ridiculous.” No he’s over there to talk about cost you 24:44 might want to address that Pete but uh Elon was over there today to address 24:50 cost doge thing called Doge which you’ve heard about Pete that’s exactly right Mr president you you pointed out it was a 24:56 fake story we we pointed out it was uh it was meant to sort of undermine whatever relationship the Pentagon has 25:02 with Elon Musk elon Musk is a patriot elon Musk is an innovator elon Musk 25:08 provides a lot of capabilities our government and our military rely on and I’m grateful for that uh we welcomed him 25:13 today to the Pentagon to talk about Doge to talk about efficiencies to talk about innovations it was a great informal 25:20 conversation uh the rest of that reporting was fake there was no war plans there was no Chinese war plans 25:25 there was no secret plans uh that’s not what we were doing at the Pentagon i might add that I think Elon if you if 25:30 they ever wanted to do that I think Elon wouldn’t do it i think he wouldn’t do it he wouldn’t want to put himself in that 25:35 position but if you read what’s out of the New York Times it’s such a dishonest newspaper it’s such garbage it’s uh you 25:42 know it used to be called all the news that’s fit to print well it’s all the news that’s not fit to print uh they 25:47 have fake sources or they don’t have sources i think they make most of it up but this was a madeup story by the New 25:54 York Times i call it the failing it’s a failing newspaper it’s failing and uh 25:59 they shouldn’t do that they really are the enemy of the people we really we do need honest journalism 26:06 in this you know we’ve made such big strides over the last two months but we just need honest journalism and we don’t 26:13 have it when you have a CNN I watch you have to watch these people every once in a while just to see where they’re coming 26:18 from and it’s so dishonest msnbc is I think probably worse and they’re both doing horribly in the ratings i think 26:25 they’re going to be turned off i don’t think they’re not doing any ratings you’re doing well in the ratings mr 26:32 president on I understand that your trade rep is meeting their Chinese counterpart next week is there anything 26:39 that they can do to uh to stop April 2nd or to roll back the tariffs that you’ve 26:45 put on China already well we can talk but basically uh I call April 2nd i 26:50 would have made it April 1st but I didn’t want to be April Fool’s Day because then nobody would believe what I said and they do believe me april 2nd is 26:57 going to be liberation day for America we’ve been ripped off by every country in the world friend and foe we’ve been 27:04 ripped off on trade we’ve been ripped off on military we protect people and they don’t do anything for us we It’s 27:11 just so unfair for years and years and now some of that money is going to be coming back to us in the form of tariffs 27:17 there uh I mean tens of billions it’s going to 27:22 be numbers like nobody’s ever seen so Nvidia announced today you saw that 27:29 hundreds of billions of dollars of investment the biggest chipmaker in the world announced hundreds of billions of 27:34 dollars of investment hundreds of billions not millions but billions they’re all coming here apple just 27:41 announced 500 billion dollars worth they’re going to build plants here you know they built their plants in China they’re going to build them here and uh 27:49 and they’re starting immediately we have uh we have investment the likes of which 27:55 this country has never seen already announced and they all want to have news conferences i don’t I don’t have enough 28:00 time to have that many news conferences but uh I would say so far at least $4 28:05 trillion dollars$4 trillion dollars is coming in car companies very importantly a lot of the car companies that were 28:11 going to build in Mexico or Canada are now building here because I don’t want cars from Canada i don’t want cars from 28:17 Mexico they want to do it it’s fine but I want the car companies to build here not you know they were building in 28:23 Mexico three plants big plans really big plans and they were going to sell the cars right across the border we wouldn’t 28:29 have the jobs we wouldn’t have the profits we wouldn’t get the taxes we get nothing all we get is unemployment and 28:35 empty factories those days are over so now uh those three places are going to 28:40 build here but many more than that we have a big one honda is building just announced a really big plant in Indiana 28:47 great state smart place to build and we have many car companies coming here the 28:52 steel the steel mills are going to be booming going to be booming and 28:57 many other things come with that but we need that for defense you know you have there are certain things you have to 29:03 have you have to have steel we would have had if I didn’t do in my first term uh tariffs to stop the onslaught because 29:11 they were dumping steel in order to destroy our steel plants if I didn’t do 29:16 50% and even 100% in certain cases tariffs on steel you wouldn’t have a 29:22 steel plant in the United States and Biden was unable to get rid of those tariffs because they they threw off so 29:28 much money that his numbers which didn’t work anyway because his numbers were terrible what he did the way he spent 29:34 money was so horrible and what he allowed to happen to energy that’s the other thing energy is going to be like 29:40 it’s never been before uh Mr vice President is here do you have any Do you have anything to say while you’re here 29:46 no sir i’m a good vice president i’m just here to watch the show sir i think airplanes are pretty cool so I wanted to 29:52 check this out cool it is cool is there anything that China can do to to take off the the trade war at this point 29:58 though well I’ll be speaking to President Xi i have a great relationship with him we’re going to have a a very 30:03 good relationship but we have a trillion dollar deficit because of Biden with 30:09 President Xi more than that I mean I’ve heard $1.2 2 trillion we have a deficit 30:15 and I’ve explained that to President Xi we also have a problem where he’s allowing fentinol to be sent into Mexico 30:22 and then cross the border and you know killing I think the number is much higher than the 125 115 that I think 30:29 it’s closer to 300,000 people a year and so that’s a problem but they have uh 30:35 they have a tremendous surplus against the United States and we don’t want that mr why do you want to control the phrase 30:41 how a number of industries have come to you asking for exemptions on tariffs is that something that is under 30:46 consideration by you well people are coming to me and talking about tariffs and a lot of people are asking me if 30:52 they could have exceptions and once you do that for one you have to do that for all so I mean generally uh I I did 31:00 something interestingly during two weeks ago i gave the American car companies a 31:06 break because it would have been unfair if I didn’t and everybody said “Oh he changed his mind on tariffs.” I didn’t 31:12 change my mind i helped our you know sort of big three big four i helped some 31:18 of the American companies and instead of taking it properly they said “Oh he changed it.” I don’t change but the word 31:24 flexibility is an important word sometimes there’s flexibility so there’ll be flexibility but basically uh 31:31 it’s reciprocal so that if China is charging us 50% or 30% or 20% and I 31:39 don’t mean China I mean anybody any country Canada nobody knows that Canada’s charging our dairy farmers they 31:46 have 270% tariffs nobody knows that nobody 31:51 knows that uh they have up to 400% they have a couple of tariffs at 31:57 400% nobody knows that nobody talks about that and remember with Canada we don’t need their cars we don’t need 32:04 their lumber we don’t need their energy we don’t need anything from Canada and yet it costs us $200 billion a year in 32:10 subsidy to keep Canada afloat so when I say they should be a state I mean that i really mean that because we can’t be 32:18 expected to carry a a a country that uh 32:24 is right next to us on our border it would be a great state it would be a cherished state uh the taxes for 32:30 Canadian citizens would go down in less than half they don’t spend money on 32:36 military because they think we’re going to protect them there are many things that they do like ice breakers they want 32:42 us to provide ice breakers for them oh that’s wonderful so uh the Canada they 32:49 they’re very tough traders too can I want to just tell you all the people they’re tough traders they trade very 32:54 tough and you know the expression I use is some people don’t have the cards i 33:00 used that expression about a week and a half ago right somebody was negotiating who didn’t have the cards who’s now I 33:06 think saying that he wants to do it and he’s I think we’re going to have a big deal on that very special something we 33:12 got to make a deal on that but Canada uh has been a very nasty negotiator against 33:17 the United States took advantage of the United States for a long time but nobody knows that they were getting 270% 33:24 tariffs on dairy products canada and I don’t think I’ve heard you 33:29 say this in all of the talk about uh Canada becoming the 51st state are you concerned that if they became the 51st 33:36 state they would be a very very blue state very very big and very very blue 33:42 no they might be that uh it it would you know you have that artificial line that goes that straight artif that looked 33:48 like it was drawn by a ruler somebody with a I don’t mean a ruler like a king I mean like a ruler like a ruler this 33:55 way and uh just an artificial line that was drawn in the sand or in the ice you 34:02 know can I tell Peter just you you add that to this country what a beautiful 34:08 land mass the most beautiful land mass anywhere in the world and it was cut off for whatever reason it would be great 34:15 now is it liberal maybe but you know a conservative until I got involved because I don’t care who wins up there i 34:22 frankly probably would do better with a liberal than the conservative if you want to know the truth but um just a 34:28 little while ago before I got involved and totally changed the election which I don’t care about probably it’s to our 34:36 advantage actually but the Conservative was leading against I call him Governor 34:41 Trudeau the Conservative was leading by 35 points so you know so I don’t know about that i think uh Canada is a place 34:49 like a lot of other places if you have a good candidate the candidate’s going to win and I don’t know if you see this but 34:54 the the the two astronauts that you just helped save from space they didn’t get 34:59 any overtime pay for all that extra time they got $5 a day per DM for 286 days 35:05 that is $1,430 in uh extra pay is there anything 35:11 the administration can do to get them to make them whole well nobody’s ever 35:17 answered this to me if I have to I’ll pay it out of my own pocket okay I’ll get it 35:22 for I like that i’ll pay it right out of my Is that all that’s not a lot for what 35:29 they had to go through and I want to thank Elon Musk by the way because think of we don’t have him you know there’s 35:35 only so long even though they’re in the capsule up there that the body starts to deteriorate after nine or 10 months and 35:44 gets really bad after 14 15 months with the bones and the blood and all the things that you’ve been reporting on 35:50 very well and if we don’t have Elon they could be up there a long time who else is going to get him and I just want to 35:58 thank him he’s going through a lot what they’re doing to him and these people are going to be caught and they’re going 36:04 to be caught and they’re going to be prosecuted and from what they tell me I see this just by watching your programs 36:11 and reading the news but from what they tell me they could get 20 years in jail and they’ll get it i’ll tell you there’s 36:17 going to be no leniency and there’ll be no pardons i can tell you that right now and you said this morning 20 years in jail and then maybe they you said this 36:24 morning 20 years in jail and then maybe they’ll go to one of these prisons in El Salvador do you think with the way that 36:30 the judges have been issuing injunctions it would be easier or harder to send 36:35 these Tesla domestic terrorists to a jail in El Salvador than these MS-13 or 36:40 trendy arrival guys well I view these people as terrorists just like uh others these are when I looked at those 36:46 showrooms burning and those cars not one or two like seven eight 10 burning 36:52 exploding all over the place these are terrorists you didn’t have that on January 6th i can tell you you didn’t 36:58 have anything like that on January 6 which is sort of amazing because on January 6 the the uh Democrats were 37:06 talking nobody was killed other than a very beautiful young woman Ashley Ashley 37:12 Bab uh nobody was killed and you look at what’s going on now with these 37:17 terrorists these are terrorists and that’s an organized event you know take a look at their signs take a look they’re all made by the same sign 37:24 company a nice expensive job now these are uh the people that finance it are in 37:30 my opinion in just as big a trouble as the people that are setting the match and setting the fires u so we’ll see 37:38 it’s under very serious investigation by the FBI and by the Justice Department these people are terrorists mr president 37:44 you mentioned a deal with you mentioned a deal with Ukraine mr president what do you say to American military families 37:49 who are seeing Elon Musk at the Pentagon today are hearing about Defense Department cuts and their thoughts are 37:56 immediately going to the safety of their loved ones who are currently deployed well we’re making our country strong and 38:02 when they see a thing like that and they hear that story about Elon and China 38:07 what they should do is realize that the New York Times is a corrupt institution because I think they’re the one they 38:13 knew that story wasn’t true nobody believed that story people that when I first called they they laughed when they 38:19 heard the story nobody believed it that the Pentagon was giving him a briefing on what war with China would look like 38:26 and he has business no they made that up because it’s a good story to make up they’re very dishonest people then I 38:32 look I I have it with the Times uh and you’ll see more and more of it to me 38:38 it’s a very very dis dishonest organization but a story like that is 38:43 made up it’s total fiction and I I just wanted to make sure i called up chief of 38:50 staff and I called up Pete and I said “Is there any truth to that?” Absolutely not he’s there for Doge not there for 38:57 China and if you ever mentioned China I think he’d walk out of the room he wouldn’t he wouldn’t take it anyway so 39:03 it’s just a madeup story uh nobody’s taken better care of the military one of 39:09 the things that I know the Pete’s doing is he’s talking about a lot of the civilian staff and uh and we’re going to 39:16 get them other jobs you know we’re going to have a lot of jobs in this country because but we don’t want to have wasteful jobs we want to have meaningful 39:22 jobs and those were wasteful jobs those are jobs that not only military but uh 39:28 jobs where people don’t show up we had you take a look at Department of Education i’ve never seen so many 39:33 buildings with the names on it you go past one after another Department of Education and they’re empty the people 39:40 don’t show up you know why because they have other jobs because they’re playing golf or they’re playing something 39:45 they’re doing something and we have a lot of great people but we have to move that back to the States we’re going to 39:51 make our country strong and we’re going to get people much better jobs because we have companies moving into our 39:57 country the likes of which we’ve never seen before nothing like this has happened and uh and it’s automatic they 40:04 don’t want to pay the tariffs how do you get how do you avoid paying the tariffs you build your plant in the United 40:11 States and uh it’s going to be it’s a beautiful thing to see i see it so far i 40:16 would say four trillion dollars nobody’s ever heard of no country’s ever heard of numbers like that four trillion dollars 40:23 and those are the best ones the biggest best chip maker in the world i don’t I’m 40:28 not a fan of the chip act where you give billions away to billions of dollars away to companies that don’t need it and 40:35 it won’t bring them here uh I’m giving nothing away all they’re doing is coming here they’re building because they want 40:40 to avoid Remember this on the tariffs too because that’s going to be you know liberation day April 2nd uh it’s 40:48 reciprocal if they charge us we charge them so somebody said well how much are the tariffs very fair if India as an 40:57 example has been very bad to us on tariffs they charge 100% 41:03 200% whatever they charge now Europe uh just announced they’re lowering the 41:08 tariffs on cars you know we charge like a joke 2 and a half% that’s what this 41:14 country charges europe just announced that they’re reducing their tariffs on cars to 2 and a half% it’s nice but they 41:22 also have non-monetary tariffs where they make it impossible for the cars to get in even without the dollars on them 41:28 in the dollar signs it’s called a nonmonetary tariff where they put on controls where no matter what happens 41:34 because they don’t want cars they don’t want the American car in their market and yet they send us millions of cars 41:40 they send us big agriculture they don’t want our agriculture they don’t want anything from us european Union’s very 41:45 tough uh but now it’s fair so whatever they do to us we do to them mr president 41:52 you mentioned mention as Russia continues to 41:57 attack Ukraine are you planning to impose any sort of san well they’re fighting against each other uh yeah I 42:02 think we’re going to have we have a ceasefire on a lot of areas and so far that’s all held very well and getting 42:10 that ceasefire you know they had a lot of guns pointing at each other we got some soldiers unfortunately surrounded 42:16 by other soldiers and uh they are going to be I believe we’re going to pretty 42:23 soon have a full ceasefire and then we’re going to have a contract and the contract’s being negotiated the contract 42:28 in terms of dividing up the lands etc etc it’s being negotiated as we speak 42:34 what do you say to critics who say that your actions towards law firms are amount to coercion 42:40 well the law firms all want to make deals you mean the law firms that we’re going after that went after me for four 42:46 years ruthlessly violently illegally you mean are those are law firms you’re talking about they’re not babies they’re 42:52 very sophisticated people uh those law firms did bad things bad things they 42:58 went after me for years uh Russia Russia Russia hoax all a hoax it was a hoax it 43:04 was Hunter Biden’s laptop it didn’t come out of Russia by the way it was just like came out of his bedroom 43:10 uh it was all a hoax developed by Democrats hillary I don’t think Biden 43:17 did because I don’t think Biden knows what the hell he’s doing frankly based on everything I see i’ve I’ve seen 43:22 things since being here that are so sad what he’s done to this country what what 43:28 he and they did to this country those people that surrounded him who by the way are radical left but smart he’s not 43:34 smart he was never smart but these are radical left smart people they totally controlled him he did whatever they told 43:41 him to do and it’s a shame it’s so sad to see what happened what they’ve done to this country both not only the 43:47 inflation the inflation you saw but allowing millions of criminals millions and millions of criminals into our 43:54 country that’s an inexcusable act and many other things besides that thank you 44:01 very one more question why do you want to control Ukraine’s power plants thank youbody 44:07 thank you guys
