Enhance Your English with U.S. Government News – Trump Stops by Meeting with U.S. Ambassadors 2025. 3. 25.

0:02 thank you very much we’re going to have a little session today on the ambassadors it’s a group of people that 0:09 were selected they’re doing very well they’re very far along in the process and uh they’re going to each introduce 0:16 themselves and talk about the country that they’re going to uh they might say 0:21 a little bit about themselves also because people are very interested in that we’re also going to sign right now 0:27 some executive orders and will if you come would come forward yes sir i’ll start thinking about signing them right 0:35 few things for you today sir first we have a pardon for Devin Archer uh Deon Archer was a former business partner of 0:42 the Biden family uh he’s uh was prosecuted relating to a a fraud 0:48 investigation but notably uh the tone and tenor of that prosecution changed dramatically after he began uh to 0:55 cooperate with congressional investigators and serve as a witness uh against Hunter Biden and the Biden 1:00 family we believe that was a an injustice and therefore we’re asking you to uh to pardon him and many people have 1:08 asked me to do this i think he was treated very unfairly and I looked at the records studied the records and he 1:14 was he was a victim of uh a crime as far as I’m concerned so we’re going to undo 1:32 that all right that’s 1:37 Deon about you congratulations Devin 1:43 next sir we have a presidential memorandum for your attention this memorandum requires the immediate 1:48 declassification of all FBI files relating to the Crossfire hurricane investigation this was obviously one of 1:54 the instances of the weaponization of law enforcement powers of prosecution against you and others uh we believe 2:01 that it’s long past time for the American people to have a full and complete understanding of what exactly is in those files which gives the media 2:08 the right to go in and go and check it you probably won’t bother because you’re not going to like what you see uh but uh 2:16 this was total weaponization it’s a disgrace should never happen in this country but now you’ll be able to see 2:21 for yourselves all declassified is that correct would you say all 2:27 declassified yes sir everything the uh the FBI file with a there’s a classified annex but other than that this we’ll put 2:34 everything in the public eye 2:39 is anybody going to look huh what about you you going to look 2:48 and frankly the FBI should be ashamed of themselves and so should the Department of Justice and so should Biden okay next 2:58 sir we have an executive order for your attention we’ve taken action against a number of uh law firms that have 3:04 participated either in the weaponization of government the weaponization of the legal system for political ends or of 3:10 otherwise engaged in illegal or inappropriate activities the law firm of Jenner and Block is one of these law 3:16 firms this is a law firm that as you know employed Andrew Weissman after he came off of the Mueller investigation 3:23 it’s a law firm that’s engaged in invidious racially and sexually discriminatory practices it’s also a law 3:29 firm that has participated in the weaponization of the legal system uh against American principles and values 3:35 and we believe that the measures in this executive order uh will help uh help correct that and Andrew Weissman is the 3:43 main culprit he’s certainly with respect to this firm he he is one of a number of 3:48 reasons that we believe this executive order is warranted he’s a bad guy 4:09 okay next here we have an executive order for your attention uh relating actually to government payments uh 4:16 historically checks issued by the Treasury are I believe 14 times more likely uh to become the subject of fraud 4:23 than electronic transfer payments this is an executive order that’s going to push the Treasury Department uh to 4:29 modernize its payment system uh to ensure that where possible they’re using electronic methods of payment as opposed 4:35 to paper checks in order to reduce waste fraud and abuse in the government uh which is obviously an endeavor that 4:41 we’ve uh we’ve been pursuing in numerous aspects of government under your leadership it’s basically modernization 4:47 of equipment and methods and it’s something that uh really I think he’s 4:53 going to be a great secretary of the treasury wanted Scott and uh so we’re doing this and we have other 5:00 modernization programs going on we could let somebody else whoever is next whoever that may be do it but it’s 5:07 something that should have been done 25 30 years ago 5:20 okay 5:28 along similar lines sir this is an executive order uh we’re calling it protecting America’s bank account the 5:34 basic idea here is that instead of having uh lots of different departments and agencies and offices issuing payment 5:41 often without justification often without any provided rationale we’re going to be centraling payment processes 5:46 where possible in the Department of the Treasury and ensuring that measures are taken in Treasury against waste fraud 5:52 and abuse to ensure that money that’s leaving the public treasury is as protected as it possibly can be all 5:58 right good 6:11 many of these things should have taken place decades 6:16 ago or longer 6:22 lastly sir we have an executive order for your attention on the very important subject of election integrity we believe 6:28 that this executive order is the the farthest reaching executive action uh taken in the history of the republic uh 6:35 to secure our elections among uh numerous other aspects of this executive 6:41 order uh this is going to uh cut down on illegal immigrants on the voter roles ensure that the Department of Homeland 6:47 Security and the data that they have ava a available is being fully weaponized to ensure that illegal immigrants aren’t 6:53 voting this will include a citizenship question on the federal voting form for the first time this executive order 6:59 instructs the EAC uh to cut uh federal funding to states that don’t take 7:04 reasonable steps to secure their election this calls on the Department of Justice to vigorously prosecute election 7:10 crimes particularly in states that we don’t believe are in compliance with federal law around election integrity uh 7:17 I could go on and on for a while sir but uh compliance with National Election Day rules cracking down and investigating 7:24 and prosecuting foreign interference in our elections uh revoking President Biden’s uh executive order 7:31 14019 uh which essentially weaponized government to corrupt and pollute our election process there’s a lot in here 7:38 but we believe that these are very important steps uh that we need to be taking as an administration uh at your 7:44 direction to ensure that our elections are as secure as they possibly can be okay you all understand that yes 7:53 election fraud you’ve heard the term we’ll end it 7:58 hopefully at least at least we’ll go a long way toward ending it there are other steps that we will be taking in 8:04 the next in the coming weeks and we think we’ll be able to end up getting 8:09 fair elections uh perhaps some people think I shouldn’t be complaining because we won 8:15 in a landslide but uh we got to straighten out our election 8:20 this country is so sick because of the election the fake elections and the bad elections and we’re going to straighten 8:26 it out one way or the other 8:34 and it’s an honor to sign this one to sign all of them but to sign this one is a great honor 8:48 thank you very much sorry sir so we’re going to go around the room a little bit quickly and we’re going to introduce 8:54 these very outstanding people they’ve had uh in all cases

upstairs up upstairs he’s got some big advantages he does very it’s very 15:38 exciting it’s really exciting to have all of you would you have any questions media for the uh people that you just 15:45 saw uh so outstanding and I thought it would be nice to bring them before you 15:51 and so if you have any questions please I wanted to ask about the the talks in Saudi Arabia it sounds like you made 15:58 some progress on a Black Sea ceasefire uh could you update us on that what 16:03 happens now so we’ve made a lot of progress on two fronts on both sections 16:08 that we call them we call them sections but they’re much more than that russia Ukraine and also the Middle East and 16:15 we’ll see what happens we’re in deep discussions with Russia and 16:20 Ukraine and I would say it’s going well but it’s a very it’s a situation we should have never had to even think 16:26 about should have never happened and in the Middle East that’s been going on for 16:32 a lot of years centuries and centuries it just keeps going and we are making a 16:38 lot of progress so it’s all I can report but some very very big talks are going and detailed talks are going on right 16:44 now on both fronts mr president you said that your national security adviser learned a lesson after 16:50 a reporter Excuse me I didn’t make you go ahead please mr president the ceasefire agreement that was brokered 16:55 today allows for third party countries to help implement the agreement what 17:00 does that look like and who’s going to be involved the ceasefire agreement yes the maritime ceasefire agreement between Russia and Ukraine well they’re going to 17:07 get together look it’s uh they uh agreed to something and it got broken there’s 17:13 tremendous animosity there’s a lot of hatred as you can probably tell and it 17:18 allows for people to get together mediate it arbitrate it and see if we can get it stopped and I think it will 17:24 it’ll get stuck what countries are you looking to work with sir to help implement and monitor that fight we have other countries involved and they’re 17:30 involved very strongly in the process and the that’ll that’ll be resolved that’s actually as bad as it is that’s 17:37 the least of the problems so uh that will we’ll get that resolved and we are being aided by other countries too yes 17:45 please uh yes uh tomorrow the subcommittee on Doge is going to review 17:50 funding for NPR and PBS now every Republican president has always promised 17:57 to take away this uh money that’s going to these two uh public uh news outlets 18:04 if this if they’re successful I know Senator Kennedy has backed it margie Taylor Green Congress has backed it 18:10 would you be interested in defunding and taking away taxpayer dollars to MPR and 18:17 PBS well I would love to do that i think it’s very unfair it’s been very biased the whole group I mean a whole group of 18:24 them and frankly there’s plenty of Look at all the media you have right now there’s plenty of coverage i was from a 18:30 different age and they spend more money than any other network of its type uh 18:35 ever conceived so the kind of money that’s being wasted and it’s a very biased view you know that better than 18:42 anybody and uh I’d be honored to see it end we’re well covered look at all the 18:48 people that we have here today we’re well covered and we don’t need it and it’s a waste of money especially I don’t 18:55 even know what DOA’s recommendation is i assume their recommendation is to close them up well after they hear all the 19:01 testimony I think they’re going to make a decision relatively sooner than later but we’ll see what that turns out i can 19:08 I can’t imagine that they wouldn’t because they have found so much waste fraud and abuse uh hundreds of billions 19:15 of dollars and just waste fraud abuse you heard yesterday some of the new things that were found 22 billion just 19:23 in environment billion you know if you had 22 million Warren it would be nice but 22 billion put into environmental 19:30 accounts one was two billion into one account Stacy Abrams where they had $100 19:36 in the account and just before I came in they put $2 billion and uh you guys are looking so 19:43 you mean 2 million or maybe 200,000 no two billion dollars were put in the account what do you think of that Mike 19:49 do you think that’s a straight deal two billion just write me the check Mr president 19:55 of Israel it’s just it’s a horrible thing and we had we have so many of those things so they’ve done an incredible job and the country wants to 20:02 hear it uh I think DOA is actually very popular because of what’s happening they’re hearing about all of these scams 20:08 and and for big big money tremendous amount and when you add it up uh just 20:13 hundreds of billions of dollars being wasted and much of it’s fraud you know 20:18 we we talk about waste and it is waste and abuse but a lot of it’s fraud can I follow up on something yeah go ahead go 20:25 ahead i just want to follow up on that if Planned Parenthood is defunded uh 20:31 would you look into the harvesting of baby organs that they’ve done throughout the years uh and and maybe go after some 20:39 criminal prosecution on that well I think you’re talking about a subject that is a heated subject and uh we’ll 20:45 look into it we’re going to look into everything but that’s a certainly a subject that’s been debated for a long 20:51 time and we will look into it yeah mr president Mr president a lot some senators have expressed hope that the 20:57 White House will support a recision package to codify some of the Doge cuts into law where does the White House 21:02 stand on that and are you making progress which package a recision package to codify some of the Doge cuts 21:08 into law yeah well it’ll be great i think we’re going to do that i think they’re going to do it i think we’re 21:13 also going to be codifying a lot of the uh executive orders that we’ve done which have been very popular and we’re 21:20 looking at one I will tell you right now that I think perhaps will be controversial but not with the people 21:25 and that’s sanctuary cities we’re going to end sanctuary cities for uh some of these jurisdictions that uh aren’t 21:32 cooperating with law enforcement uh they’re guarding criminals they’re uh 21:38 taking the rights away from the citizens of their state and their city and we’re going to be ending sanctuary cities if 21:45 we find it uh necessary to do in certain major areas and we may just end the 21:51 entire thing all together because it’s just a way of protecting criminals and nobody else is benefited by that and for 21:57 some reason Democrats want to keep and they want to shield criminals from being sent back to their countries or being 22:04 sent to prison and in the meantime the crime rate has gone through the roof under Biden it was through the roof it’s 22:11 starting to come down but we’re taking a lot of people out of here so we may uh be presenting you very shortly with a 22:18 executive order ending sanctuary cities mr president are you going to change any of the practices that your national 22:25 security officials used after a reporter was inadvertently added to a group chat about attacks on Yemen well I think it’s 22:33 uh a question I’ve been asked now and I’ve given a few answers and they’ve all 22:38 been the same we have an amazing group our national security now is stronger than it’s ever been we have uh had a 22:46 very very successful numerous attacks on that area these are people that shoot down ships not only our ships ships all 22:53 over the world are shooting down right out of the water and damaging them badly or they’re going down they’re also 22:59 shooting anything that happens to be flying in the area we hit them very very hard uh there was no classified 23:06 information as I understand it uh they used a uh a uh app if you want to call 23:13 it an app that a lot of people use a lot of people in government use a lot of people in the media use and I think uh 23:19 I’ll ask Mike mike is here do you want to respond to that please yes mr president you asked about lessons i 23:25 think there’s a lot of the lesson is there’s a lot of journalists in this city who have made big names for themselves making up lies about uh this 23:33 president whether it’s the Russia hoax or making up lies about gold star families and this one in particular I’ve 23:40 never met don’t know never communicated with and we are uh in we are looking 23:45 into and reviewing how the heck he got into this room but I’ll tell you what the world owes President Trump a favor 23:52 under Biden global shipping was shut down pin prick attacks months between them our destroyers being fired upon 23:59 dozens of times president Trump took decisive act action with his national 24:04 security team took out the head missile knocked out missiles knocked out headquarters knocked out communication 24:12 sites and for once as we hear as you will all hear from every one of our allies thank God for American leadership 24:19 again thank God for American strength uh you’re 24:26 welcome and and look we had a national security team that was coordinating uh these efforts as Director Radcliffe 24:33 testified today uh his first day on the job he was introduced to this app on his 24:38 government uh systems at the CIA and at the State Department and otherwise so 24:44 look this journalist Mr president uh wants the world talking about more hoaxes uh and this kind of nonsense 24:51 rather than the freedom uh that you’re enabling and a key part of our sovereignty is open sea lanes and 24:57 knocking the crap out of terrorists which is exactly what your team and Pete Hexath a good friend and fellow veteran 25:03 is leading the charge on and it’s an honor very very successful excuse me we had a very very successful evening and 25:11 we’ve had numerous successful evenings and days in that area the hood are 25:16 absolutely on the run the worst of them has been killed this should have been 25:22 done a long time ago by Biden but Biden was an incompetent president he couldn’t do anything he wouldn’t he didn’t know 25:28 where where he was going he had no clue this guy had no clue this should have been done a long time ago as they shoot 25:34 missiles at ships randomly shoot missiles at ships and uh and they make their own missiles you know this is not 25:40 an incompetent group of people they make their own missiles they get the missiles also from Iran uh it’s an offshoot of 25:47 Iran another offshoot you have Hamas you have Hezbollah you have the Hoodis you got a lot of stuff going on with Iran 25:54 and we sent a letter to Iran you’re going to have to be speaking to us one way or the other pretty soon because we 26:00 can’t let this happen but uh that’s an app that a lot of people use and somebody got on i mean happened to know 26:07 the guy’s a total sleas bag the Atlantic The Atlantic is a failed magazine uh 26:12 does very very poorly nobody gives a damn about it it gives this gives it a little bit of a a shot and I will tell 26:19 you this that uh they’ve made up more stories and uh and they’re just a 26:24 failing magazine the public understands that he’s a very good man that man is a very good man right there that you 26:30 criticize so strongly he’s a very good man and he will uh 26:37 continue to do a good job in addition to him we had very good people in that 26:42 meeting and those people have uh done a very very effective job and you’re going 26:47 to see it and it goes on by the way it’s going to go on and uh I think the 26:52 hoodies wish that it didn’t happen but that’s what it’s all about we have to create a safe country a safe world and 26:59 that’s what we’re doing national security was put at risk Mr of senior officials using signal do I 27:06 plan to ban who the use of signal to communicate from senior officials well I don’t know what I don’t know anything 27:11 about signal i wasn’t involved in this but I just heard about it and uh I hear it’s used by a lot of groups it’s used 27:19 by the media a lot it’s used by a lot of the military and I think successfully 27:25 but sometimes somebody can get on to those things that’s one of the prices you pay when you’re not sitting in the 27:30 uh situation room with no phones on which is always the best frankly but uh 27:36 you know you you the best is to be there in fact often times I’ve been in the in fact just last week I was in a situation 27:43 room with something very important and we had a couple of people hooked up by line and I said cancel the line sorry 27:50 fellas what you do is we’ll tell you all about the meeting because I know people do get on those lines whether it’s 27:55 signal or anything else yeah so are you going to change any procedures as a result of this well I mean look we look 28:01 at everything and you know they’ve made a big deal out of this because we’ve had two perfect months we’re bringing we are 28:08 bringing in business we have another one announced tomorrow a big one very big like in the history of our country 28:14 nobody’s ever seen anything like it and I think probably a lot of people are saying it’s they started by saying it 28:20 was the greatest first month that a president has ever had and I think that’s true and now they say it’s the 28:26 best second month and they had to find something and this certainly we’ll look at this but uh the main thing was 28:33 nothing happened the attack was totally successful uh it was I guess from what I 28:39 understand took place during and it wasn’t classified information so this 28:44 was not classified now if it’s classified information it’s probably a little bit different but I I always say 28:50 you got to you have to learn from every experience i think it was very unfair the way they attacked Michael uh he’s a 28:57 a good person the person that was armed just happens to be a sleas bag so maybe that’s just coincidence i don’t know mr 29:03 president would it be a problem if the Atlantic released all the text messages if they’re not classified well I don’t 29:09 know i’d have to ask the military about that because you know maybe you wouldn’t want that i don’t know i will say this 29:15 that from what I heard uh the uh the man that we’re talking about who’s 29:21 uh not somebody that I don’t think most people have ever heard of uh he left he found it very boring and he left early 29:28 he got off the line very early so uh I can’t speak to it other than that so 29:34 he’s made up a lot of stories and and you know I think he’s basically bad for the country but it’s uh it’s a failing 29:40 venture very failing venture they’re very upset uh and uh a thing like this is publicity for them but I don’t think 29:48 we should allow people that are very good like that man sitting right at the end of the table who’s done a great job 29:53 uh we shouldn’t allow them to be hurt by it mr president can I follow up on that can I follow are you so are you saying 30:00 you’re okay with the continued use of signal by administration officials that’s what I said i said we’ll look 30:05 into it but uh everybody else seems to be using it it seems to be the number one used device or app whatever you want 30:13 to call it and uh we will certainly look if it was up to me everybody would be 30:18 sitting in a room together the room would have solid lead walls and a lead 30:23 ceiling and a lead floor but you know life doesn’t always let you do that in the meantime the attack itself that we 30:30 were talking about and discussing has been an unbelievable success but you 30:35 will conduct an investigation is what you’re saying into this we’ll look into it chair Mr president that investigation 30:41 I want to look anything like that uh I would I would ask them it’s not really 30:47 an FBI thing it’s really something having to do with uh security like uh 30:53 will somebody be able to break in are people able to break into conversations and if that’s true we’re going to have 30:58 to find some other form of uh of device and I think that’s something that we may 31:04 have to do some people like signal very much uh other people probably don’t but 31:09 we’ll look into it i think Michael I’ve asked you to immediately study that and find out if people are able to break 31:17 into a system now in this case it wasn’t that the this attack was going on and 31:22 nobody found out anything and again the person that was on as I understand it he left very early because he didn’t find 31:28 it very exciting but uh I think it’s something you should look into yes sir we are uh we have our technical experts 31:35 looking at it we have uh our legal teams looking at it uh and of course uh we’re 31:41 going to keep everything as secure as possible uh no one in your national security team would ever put anyone in 31:47 danger and as you’ve said and we’ve repeatedly said the attack was phenomenal and it’s ongoing but the 31:53 media wants to talk about everything else except for the hostages you’re getting out of the Middle East Iran on 31:58 its back foot sealanes getting reopened peace in Europe uh as we just saw today 32:04 with a Black Sea ceasefire we were just on with uh Steve Wickoff myself uh our 32:10 team in Saudi Arabia they want to talk about all this other stuff except for your amazing successes and the successes 32:16 of your team one of the other things and sometimes you have to move very quickly and there are other devices that are very good but 32:22 they are very very cumbersome and you’re not able to use them and uh from a practical standpoint so uh we all we can 32:30 do is find out the best we have with modern technology they’ll probably get better over the years yeah go ahead sir 32:36 on on the Black Sea so the Kremlin has said that there were several conditions that would need to be met for this agreement to happen this includes 32:43 sanction relief for banks and some companies did the US agree to all of those conditions that they laid out they will be looking at them and we’re 32:49 thinking about all of them right now there are about five or six conditions we’re looking at all of them mr 32:57 president why said that it’s looking into how a journalist got added to that signal chat is it possible that there 33:03 could be a firing of even a lower mid-level official um once that person is identifying 33:11 uh we’ve pretty much looked into it it’s pretty simple to be honest it’s not uh 33:16 it’s just something that can happen it can happen uh it you can even prepare 33:21 for it it can happen uh sometimes people are hooked in and you don’t know they’re hooked in they’re hooked into your line 33:27 and they don’t even mean bad by it but it’s not a perfect technology there is no perfect technology the really good 33:34 ones are very cumbersome very hard to access and I think uh we’re going to 33:41 look at we always want to use the best technology this was the best technology for the moment but again uh it wasn’t 33:48 classified so they probably viewed it as being something that wasn’t that important and it obviously with the 33:54 attack being I mean I don’t know if it’s been read out to you yet but that attack 33:59 was a tremendous success for the US a tremendous success who said the information Who said the information was 34:05 not classified do you think that Mike Waltz made it a mistake and does he need to apologize 34:11 no I don’t think he should apologize i think he’s doing his best uh it’s 34:16 equipment and technology that’s not perfect and uh probably he won’t be using it again at least not in the very 34:24 near future what do you sir I I agree with you let’s get everybody in the room uh whenever whenever possible a lot of 34:31 times you find out defects by exactly things like that but uh I don’t think it’s something we’re looking forward to 34:38 using again we may be forced to use it you may be in a situation where you need 34:43 uh speed as opposed to gross safety and you may be forced to use it but uh 34:49 generally speaking I think we probably won’t be using it very much the secretary of defense on that 34:55 chain the secretary of defense Pexath and JD vance the vice president said that the Europeans were freeloading do 35:01 you agree with that assessment uh do you really want me to answer that 35:07 yeah I think they’ve been freeloading the European Union’s been absolutely terrible to us on trade terrible and as 35:14 you know NATO I got them to pay hundreds of billions of dollars they were way behind and if you look even uh if you 35:20 look at Ukraine so we’re in for $350 billion because of Biden should have 35:26 never happened this war should all these dead people should not be dead all these broken cities that are demolished down 35:32 to the ground those gorgeous towers the most beautiful in the world the most beautiful spires in the world the spires 35:38 in Ukraine were said to be the most beautiful of all uh just about every one 35:43 of them is lying on its side in a million pieces it’s so sad to see what’s happened to a heritage uh no I think 35:50 that uh I think uh when they say the European Union and the and you could say 35:56 NATO also look NATO and I don’t blame NATO for this i don’t blame Europe for this i blame Biden for the fact that he 36:03 didn’t make them equalize and to this day I said to him you got to catch up you got to equalize but why are they in 36:10 for a hundred billion and we’re in for possibly $350 billion it shouldn’t be it 36:16 shouldn’t be and and you could say more important for them because we have an ocean in between so you know it’s uh 36:24 it’s one of those things you’ll be seeing uh uh liberation day i call it liberation day in America you’re going 36:29 to be seeing April 2nd didn’t want to do it on April 1st for the obvious reason april 2nd but you’ll be seeing tariffs 36:37 and I think I’ve been very fair i’ve had I have them set but I think I’ve been very fair to countries that have really 36:44 abused us economically for many many decades on the same information was not 36:50 classified uh which of your national security advisor advisors just following up on 36:56 your comments on the economy uh there is reporting that consumer confidence fell for the fourth straight month what is 37:02 your message to Americans who are concerned well I know this that for the first time uh in like 50 years right 37:10 track wrong track we’re on the right track and I think people see that and uh if you look at prices prices are way 37:17 down you know when I first came here the first uh time I met with you people 37:23 officially uh they were screaming at me about eggs i said “I’ve been here for a week and I’m being yelled at about 37:30 eggs.” uh eggs egg prices have come down 45 50% in the last week and a half and 37:36 our uh secretary of agriculture has done a great job as you know Brooke she’s done a fantastic job and others working 37:43 with her have done a great job but we brought eggs down at a level that nobody 37:48 thought we could get at I inherited that situation and I inherited a grocery situation the groceries went way up an 37:55 oldfashioned word but it’s a very descriptive word groceries have gone through the roof 38:01 And I used to campaign on it i used to say “We’re going to get groceries down.” And we have got it down i watched a 38:06 certain newscast over the weekend and a congressman Democrat congressman said “Well Trump’s done a lot.” I agree he’s 38:13 been great on the border he’s been great on the military but you know he hasn’t brought prices down that’s false uh 38:19 gasoline’s way down eggs are way down groceries are down very substantially 38:26 but down almost everything’s down now I’d like to see interest rates come down a little bit and you’re going to see 38:33 billions of dollars even trillions of dollars coming into our country very soon in the form of tariffs because we 38:39 were abused by presidents and frankly in all fairness it wasn’t their expertise 38:44 but they had no idea what they were doing mr president you say tariffs will create more jobs here in America so 38:50 states agree it’ll be it’ll create a lot of money and more jobs but if you look 38:56 so in the last these gentlemen would know about it and ladies because some of the ladies are great businessmen in this 39:02 room that are becoming ambassadors great really great top of the line uh when you 39:08 look at the number of companies that have said like we’re close to I would say close to$4 trillion dollars we never 39:15 had numbers like that the number one chip maker in the world from Taiwan coming in with $200 billion uh we have 39:23 uh Apple look at Apple $500 billion dollars.$500 billion 39:30 dollars they’re going to build plants all over the United States they were all being built in China you have many many 39:36 companies and maybe above all you have the car companies coming in at levels that nobody’s ever seen before we have 39:42 uh Honda is opening up one of the biggest plants in the world in Indiana and many car companies are coming in uh 39:49 we have uh AI we’re leading China by a lot in AI and we’re going to keep it 39:56 that way because we’ve made it very good for them and we’re going to protect them once they’re here we’ll protect them through taxes through incentives and 40:03 also through tariffs thank you very much everybody thank you very much thank you
