And the United States is struck of the fastest and most dramatic economic turnaround in our country's history.
Trump just at the stage, seconds ago.
Administration, America was plagued by the nightmare of stagflation, meaning low growth and high inflation, a recipe for misery, failure, and decline.
But now, after just one year of my policies, we are witnessing the exact opposite.
Virtually no inflation and extraordinarily high economic growth, growth like I believe you'll see very shortly, our country has never seen before, perhaps no country has ever seen before.
Over the past three months, core inflation has been just 1.6%.
Meanwhile, fourth quarter growth is projected to be 5.4%, far greater than anybody other than myself and a few others had predicted.
Since the election, the stock market has set 52 all-time high records.
So that's in one year, 52 records, adding $9 trillion in value to retirement accounts, 401ks, and people's savings.
People are doing very well.
They're very happy with me.
Since my inauguration, we've lifted more than 1.2 million people off of food stamps.
And after four years, in which Biden secured less than $1 trillion of new investment in our country, think of that $1 trillion, substantially less than that.
In four years, we've secured commitments for a record-breaking $18 trillion.
And we think when the final numbers come out, they'll be closer to $20 trillion of investment.
That's never been done by any country at any time, not even close.
Just over one year ago, under the radical left Democrats, we were a dead country.
Now we are the hottest country anywhere in the world.
In fact, the United States economy is on pace to grow at double the rate that was projected by the IMF just last April.
And with my growth and tariff policies, it should be much higher.
I really believe we can be much higher than that.
And this is all great news, and it's great for all nations.
The USA is the economic engine on the planet.
And when America booms, the entire world booms.
It's been the history.
When it goes bad, it goes bad.
You'll follow us down and you follow us up and we're at a point that we've never, I don't believe we've ever been.
I never thought we could do it this quickly.
My biggest surprise is I thought it would take more than a year, maybe like a year and one month.
But it's happened very quickly.
This afternoon, I want to discuss how we've achieved this economic miracle, how we intend to raise living standards for our citizens to levels never seen before.
and perhaps how you too and the places where you come from can do much better by following what we're doing because certain places in Europe are not even recognizable, frankly, anymore.
They're not recognizable.
And we can argue about it, but there's no argument.
Friends come back from different places.
I don't want to insult anybody and say I don't recognize it.
And that's not in a positive way.
That's in a very negative way.
And I love Europe and I want to see Europe go good, but it's not heading in the right direction.
In recent decades, it became conventional wisdom in Washington and European capitals that the only way to grow a modern Western economy was through ever-increasing government spending, unchecked mass migration, and endless foreign imports.
The consensus was that so-called dirty jobs and heavy industry should be sent elsewhere, that affordable energy should be replaced by the Green New scam, and that countries could be propped up by importing new and entirely different populations from faraway lands.
This was the path that sleepy Joe Biden administration and many other Western governments very foolishly followed, turning their backs on everything that makes nations rich and powerful and strong.
And there's so much potential in so many nations.
The result was record budget and trade deficits and a growing sovereign deficit, driven by the largest wave of mass migration in human history.
We've never seen anything like it.
Quite frankly, many parts of our world are being destroyed before our very eyes and the leaders don't even understand what's happening.
And the ones that do understand aren't doing anything about it.
Virtually all of the so-called experts predicted my plans to end this failed model would trigger a global recession and runaway inflation.
But we have proven them wrong.
It's actually just the opposite.
In one year, our agenda has produced a transformation like America has not seen in over 100 years.
Instead of closing down energy plants, we're opening them up.
Instead of building ineffective money-losing windmills, we're taking them down and not approving any.
Instead of empowering bureaucrats, we're firing them.
And they're going out and getting jobs in the private sector for two and three times what they've made in government.
So they started off hating me when we fired them and now they love me.
Instead of raising taxes on domestic producers, we're lowering them and raising tariffs on foreign nations to pay for the damage that they've caused.
In 12 months, we have removed over 270,000 bureaucrats from the federal payrolls, the largest single-year reduction in government employment since the end of World War II.
Nobody thought that was coming, but we had no choice to make a country great.
You can't have all federal jobs.
We've cut federal spending by $100 billion and slashed the federal budget deficit by 27% in the single year.
Going to go down quite a bit more from that, driving inflation way down from the record highs of the Biden administration.
Every month they went up and up and up.
I promised to cut 10 old regulations for every single new regulation but instead i've cut actually, till this point, 129 regulations for every one new regulation approved.
So every time they come in with a new regulation we do at least 10, but so far it's averaging out to 129, if you can believe it.
In july we passed the largest tax cuts in American history, including no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, no tax on social security.
For our great seniors we also provided 100 expensing that's the one they like and bonus depreciation for all new equipment and capital investments to help companies expand and shift production to America.
They are so in love with that.
They build a plant, they're able to deduct it immediately the whole thing, rather than waiting 38 to 41 years in the old days.
This is a miracle taking place.
Nobody thought it would ever be done by any country, but it's done by us was what made my first term the most successful four-year term that we've ever had from a financial standpoint.
And now we've upped it.
This is a 10-year program not a one-year program, but you're allowed to deduct everything in one year used to be 38 to 41 years with tariffs.
We've radically reduced our ballooning trade deficit, which was the largest in world history.
We were losing more than one trillion dollars every single year and it was just wasted.
It was going to waste, but in one year I slashed our monthly trade deficit by a staggering 77 percent, and all of this with no inflation, something everyone said could not be done.
There were a couple of brilliant people that actually thought I was doing the right thing.
I thought I was doing the right thing.
Now they all think i'm doing the right thing, because they can't believe the numbers.
American exports are now up by more than 150 billion dollars.
Domestic steel production is up by 300 000 tons a month and it's doubling over the next four months.
It's doubling and tripling and we have steel plants being built all over the country.
Nobody thought they'd see that.
Factory construction is up by 41 percent and that number is really going to skyrocket right now because that's during a process that they're putting in to get their approvals, and we've given very, very quick, fast approvals.
In the process we've made historic trade deals with partners covering 40 percent of all U.s trade, some of the greatest companies and countries in the world.
We have countries as our partner too, the European Nations Japan, South Korea.
They're our partners.
They've gone into massive deals, Deals with us, especially on oil and Gas.
And these agreements raise growth and cause stock markets to boom, not only in the U.S., but virtually every country that came to make a deal.
Because as you've learned, when the United States goes up, you follow.
It's really become a staple.
In America, I've stopped the nation-wrecking energy policies that drive up prices while sending jobs and factories to the world's worst polluters.
They are indeed polluters.
Under sleepy Joe Biden, new domestic oil and gas leases fell by 95%.
Think of that.
And they wonder, why was gasoline going up so fast?
The gasoline actually topped $5 a gallon in some places $7 a gallon.
And more than 100 major power plants were violently shut down by incompetent people that had no idea what the hell they were doing.
Under my leadership, U.S. natural gas production is at an all-time high by far.
U.S. oil production is up by 730,000 barrels a day.
And last week we picked up 50 million barrels from Venezuela alone.
Venezuela has been an amazing place for so many years, but then they went bad with their policies.
20 years ago was a great country and now it's got problems, but we're helping them.
And those 50 million barrels, we're going to be splitting up with them and they'll be making more money than they've made in a long time.
Venezuela is going to do fantastically well.
We appreciate all of the cooperation we've been giving.
We've been giving great cooperation.
Once the attack ended, the attack ended and they said, let's make a deal.
More people should do that.
But Venezuela is going to make more money in the next six months than they've made in the last 20 years.
Every major oil company is coming in with us.
It's amazing.
It's a beautiful thing to see.
The leadership of the country has been very good.
They've been very, very smart.
The price of gasoline is now below $2.50 a gallon in many states, $2.30 a gallon in most states, and we'll soon be averaging less than $2 a gallon.
In many places, it's already down even lower, $1.95 a gallon.
Numerous states are at $1.99, numbers that nobody has heard for years.
Actually, since my last administration, we got it down to around those numbers.
I've signed an order directing an approval of many new nuclear reactors.
We're going heavy into nuclear.
I was not a big fan because I didn't like the risk, the danger, but they have what the progress they've made with nuclear is unbelievable.
And the safety progress they've made is incredible.
We're very much into the world of nuclear energy, and we can have it now at good prices and very, very safe.
And we're leading the world in AI by a lot.
We're leading China by a lot.
I think President Xi respects what we've done in part because I've allowed these big companies building these massive buildings to build their own electric capacity.
They're building their own power plants, which when added up is more than any country anywhere in the world is doing.
I read recently an article in the Wall Street Journal that China's creating so much energy, and they are.
I've got to hand it to them.
But we're creating as much or more, and we're letting them do that.
I'm very proud of it.
It was my idea.
I said, you can't create this much energy.
We needed more than double the energy currently in the country just to take care of the AI plants.
And they said, we can't do that.
We have an old grid system.
And I came up with the idea.
You know, you people are brilliant.
You have a lot of money.
Let's see what you can do.
You can build your own electric generating plants.
And they looked at me.
They didn't believe me.
All of the names that are really, I think, in the room right now, if you want to know the truth, they didn't believe it.
And I said, no, no, you can't.
They came back two weeks and they didn't have the plant.
They said, we thought you were kidding.
I said, no, not only am I not kidding, you can have your approvals within two weeks.
I always say nuclear will take three weeks.
But most are ongoing that they're going oil and gas.
They're even going coal in some cases.
Because of my landslide election victory, the United States avoided the catastrophic energy collapse, which befell every European nation that pursued the Green New scam.
Perhaps the greatest hoax in history.
The Green New scam, windmills all over the place, destroy your land, destroy your land.
Every time that goes around, you lose $1,000.
You're supposed to make money with energy, not lose money.
Here in Europe, we've seen the fate that the radical left tried to impose on America.
They tried very hard.
Germany now generates 22% less electricity than it did in 2017.
Sitting On Depleted Reserves00:03:40
And it's not the current Chancellor's fault.
He's solving the problem.
He's going to do a great job.
But what they did before he got there, I guess that's why he got there.
And electricity prices are 64% higher.
The United Kingdom produces just one-third of the total energy from all sources that it did in 1999.
Think of that, one-third.
And they're sitting on top of the North Sea, one of the greatest reserves anywhere in the world, but they don't use it.
And that's one reason why their energy has reached catastrophically low levels with equally high prices, high prices, very low levels.
Think of that: one-third.
And you're sitting on top of the North Sea, and they like to say, Well, you know, that's depleted.
It's not depleted.
It's got 500 years.
They haven't even found the oil.
The North Sea is incredible.
They don't let anybody drill environmentally.
They don't let them drill.
They make it impossible for the oil companies to go.
They take 92% of the revenues.
So the oil companies say, We can't do it.
They came to see me.
Is there anything you can do?
I want Europe to do great.
I want the UK to do great.
Sitting on one of the greatest energy sources in the world, and they don't use it.
In fact, their electricity prices have soared 139%.
There are windmills all over Europe.
There are windmills all over the place.
And they are losers.
One thing I've noticed is that the more windmills a country has, the more money that country loses, and the worst that country is doing.
China makes almost all of the windmills, and yet I haven't been able to find any wind farms in China.
Did you ever think of that?
It's a good way of looking at it.
They're smart.
China's very smart.
They make them, they sell them for a fortune.
They sell them to the stupid people that buy them, but they don't use them themselves.
They put up a couple of big wind farms, but they don't use them.
They just put them up to show people what they could look like.
They don't spin.
They don't do anything.
They use the thing called coal mostly.
But China goes with the coal.
They go with oil and gas.
They're starting to look at nuclear a little bit.
And they're doing just fine.
They make a fortune selling the windmills, though.
And I think really that's one that they wouldn't be surprised if it stopped.
They are shocked that it continues to go.
They're very friendly with me.
They're shocked that people continue to buy those damn things.
They killed the birds.
They ruined your landscapes.
Other than that, I think they're fabulous, by the way.
Stupid people buy them.
The consequences of such destructive policies have been stark, including lower economic growth, lower standards of living, lower birth rates, more socially disruptive migration, more vulnerability to hostile foreign adversaries, and much, much smaller militaries.
The United States cares greatly about the people of Europe.
We really do.
I mean, look, I am derived from Europe, Scotland and Germany.
Nato's 100 Times Debt00:15:28
100% Scotland, my mother, 100% German, my father.
And we believe deeply in the bonds we share with Europe as a civilization.
I want to see it do great.
That's why issues like energy, trade, immigration, and economic growth must be central concerns to anyone who wants to see a strong and united West, because Europe and those countries have to do their thing.
They have to get out of the culture that they've created over the last 10 years.
It's horrible what they're doing to themselves.
They're destroying themselves.
It's beautiful, beautiful places.
We want strong allies, not seriously weakened ones.
We want Europe to be strong.
Ultimately, these are matters of national security and perhaps no current issue makes the situation more clear than what's currently going on with Greenland.
Would you like me to say a few words of Greenland?
I was going to leave it out of the speech, but I thought I think I would have been reviewed very negatively.
I have tremendous respect for both the people of Greenland and the people of Denmark.
Tremendous respect.
But every NATO ally has an obligation to be able to defend their own territory.
And the fact is, no nation or group of nations is in any position to be able to secure Greenland other than the United States.
We're a great power, much greater than people even understand.
I think they found that out two weeks ago in Venezuela.
We saw this in World War II when Denmark fell to Germany after just six hours of fighting and was totally unable to defend either itself or Greenland.
So the United States was then compelled, we did it, we felt an obligation to do it, to send our own forces to hold the Greenland territory and hold it we did at great cost and expense.
They didn't have a chance of getting on it and they tried.
Denmark knows that.
We literally set up bases on Greenland for Denmark.
We fought for Denmark.
We weren't fighting for anyone else.
We were fighting to save it for Denmark.
Big, beautiful piece of ice.
It's hard to call it land.
It's a big piece of ice.
But we saved Greenland and successfully prevented our enemies from gaining a foothold in our hemisphere.
So we did it for ourselves also.
And then after the war, which we won, we won it big.
Without us, right now, you'd all be speaking German and a little Japanese, perhaps.
After the war, we gave Greenland back to Denmark.
How stupid were we to do that?
But we did it.
But we gave it back.
But how ungrateful are they now?
So now our country and the world face much greater risks than it did ever before because of missiles, because of nuclear, because of weapons of warfare that I can't even talk about.
Two weeks ago, they saw weapons that nobody ever heard of.
They weren't able to fire one shot at us.
They said, what happened?
Everything was discombobulated.
They said, we've got them in our sights.
Press the trigger and nothing happened.
No anti-aircraft missiles went up.
There was one that went up about 30 feet and crashed down right next to the people that sent it.
They said, what the hell is going on?
Those defensive systems were made by Russia and by China.
So they're going to go back to the drawing boards, I guess.
Greenland is a vast, almost entirely uninhabited and undeveloped territory sitting undefended in a key strategic location between the United States, Russia, and China.
It's exactly where it is, right smack in the middle.
Wasn't important nearly when we gave it back.
You know, when we gave it back, it wasn't the same as it is now.
It's not important for any other reason, you know, to everyone talks about the manual.
There's so many places.
There's no rare earth, no such thing as rare earth.
There's rare processing, but there's so much rare earth.
And this to get to this rare earth, you got to go through hundreds of feet of ice.
That's not the reason we need it.
We need it for strategic national security and international security.
This enormous, unsecured island is actually part of North America on the northern frontier of the Western Hemisphere.
That's our territory.
It is therefore a core national security interest of the United States of America.
And in fact, it's been our policy for hundreds of years to prevent outside threats from entering our hemisphere.
And we've done it very successfully.
We've never been stronger than we are now.
That's why American presidents have sought to purchase Greenland for nearly two centuries.
You know, for two centuries, they've been trying to do it.
They should have kept it after World War II, but they had a different president.
That's all right.
People think differently.
Much more necessary now than it was at that time, however.
In 2019, Denmark said that they would spend over $200 million to strengthen Greenland's defenses.
But as you know, they spent less than 1% of that amount.
1%.
There's no sign of Denmark there.
And I say that with great respect for Denmark, whose people I love, whose leaders are very good.
It's the United States alone that can protect this giant mass of land, this giant piece of ice, develop it and improve it and make it so that it's good for Europe and safe for Europe and good for us.
And that's the reason I'm seeking immediate negotiations to once again discuss the acquisition of Greenland by the United States, just as we have acquired many other territories throughout our history, as many of the European nations have.
They've acquired, there's nothing wrong with it.
Many of them, some went in reverse, actually.
If you look, some had great, vast wealth, great vast lands all over the world.
They went in reverse.
They stuck back where they started.
That happens too.
But some grow.
But this would not be a threat to NATO.
This would greatly enhance the security of the entire alliance, the NATO alliance.
The United States is treated very unfairly by NATO.
I want to tell you that.
And when you think about it, nobody can dispute it.
We give so much and we get so little in return.
And I've been a critic of NATO for many years.
And yet I've done more to help NATO than any other president by far, than any other person.
You wouldn't have NATO if I didn't get involved in my first term.
The war with Ukraine is an example.
We are thousands of miles away, separated by a giant ocean.
It's a war that should have never started, and it wouldn't have started if the 2020 U.S. presidential election weren't rigged.
It was a rigged election.
Everybody now knows that.
They found out people will soon be prosecuted for what they did.
It's probably breaking news, but it should be.
It was a rigged election.
You can't have rigged elections.
You need strong borders, strong elections, and ideally a good press.
I always say it.
Strong borders, strong elections, free, fair elections, and a fair media.
The media is terrible.
It's very crooked.
It's very biased, terrible.
But someday it'll straighten out because it's losing all credibility.
Think of it.
When I went in a landslide, a giant landslide, won all seven swing states, won the popular vote, won everything.
And they only get negative press.
That means that it has no credibility.
And if they're going to get credibility, they're going to have to be fair.
So you need a fair press.
But you also need those other elements.
And I inherited a terrible, terrible situation.
If you look, the border was open.
The inflation was raging.
Everything was bad with the United States when I came into office.
But I also inherited a mess with Ukraine and Russia, something that would have never happened.
And I know Putin very well.
He and I would discuss Ukraine.
It was the apple of his eye, but he wasn't going to do anything.
I said, Vladimir, you're not doing it.
He would never have done it.
It was terrible what happened.
I could see it happening too.
After I left, I could see it happening.
Biden had given Ukraine and NATO $350 billion, a staggering sum, $350 billion.
I came in and just like the southern border, just like inflation, just like our economy, I said, wow, this place is in trouble, meaning our country.
All of these things were out of control.
But the border was out of control.
We fixed it with the strongest border anywhere in the world.
And I've now been working on this war for one year, during which time I settled eight other wars, India, Pakistan.
I've been, I settled other wars that were.
Vladimir Putin called me, Armenia, Abra, Bajan.
He said, I can't believe you settled that one.
They were going on for 35 years.
I settled it in one day.
And President Putin called me.
He said, you know, I can't believe I've worked on that war for 10 years trying to settle it.
I couldn't do it.
I said, do me a favor, focus on settling your war.
Don't worry about that one.
What does the United States get out of all of this work, all of this money, other than death, destruction, and massive amounts of cash going to people who don't appreciate what we do?
They don't appreciate what we do.
Talking about NATO, I'm talking about Europe.
They have to work on Ukraine.
We don't.
The United States is very far away.
We have a big, beautiful ocean separating us.
We have nothing to do with it.
Until I came along, NATO was only supposed to pay 2% of GDP, but they weren't paying.
Most of the countries weren't paying anything.
The United States was paying for virtually 100% of NATO.
And I got that stopped.
I said, that's not fair.
But then more importantly, I got NATO to pay 5%.
And now they were paying.
And now they are paying.
So something nobody said was possible.
They said, we will never go up higher than 2%.
But they went to 5%.
And now they're paying the 5%.
They didn't pay the 2%, and now they're paying the 5%.
And they're stronger for it.
And they have an excellent, by the way, Secretary General, who's possibly in the room.
Mark, are you here?
Yes, he's here.
Hello, Mark.
We never asked for anything.
And we never got anything.
We probably won't get anything unless I decide to use excessive strength and force where we would be, frankly, unstoppable.
But I won't do that.
Okay, now everyone's saying, oh, God, that's probably the biggest statement I made because people thought I would use force.
I don't have to use force.
I don't want to use force.
I won't use force.
All the United States is asking for is a place called Greenland where we already had it as a trustee, but respectfully returned it back to Denmark not long ago after we defeated the Germans, the Japanese, the Italians, and others in World War II.
We gave it back to them.
We were a powerful force then, but we are a much more powerful force now.
After I rebuilt the military in my first term and continue to do so today, we have a budget of $1.5 trillion.
We're bringing back battleships.
The battleship is 100 times more powerful than the great battleships you saw in World War II, those great, big, gorgeous ships, the Missouri, the Iowa, the Alabama.
Because I thought maybe we could take them out of mothballs.
They said, no, sir, these ships are 100.
Think of that, 100 times more powerful than those big, big, magnificent pieces of art that you saw so many times ago that you still see on television.
You say, wow, what a force.
100 times, each ship, 100 times more powerful than the big battleships of the past.
So that was the end of the Morthball story.
So what we have gotten out of NATO is nothing except to protect Europe from the Soviet Union and now Russia.
I mean, we've helped them for so many years.
We've never gotten anything, except we pay for NATO.
And we've paid for many years until I came along.
We paid for, in my opinion, 100% of NATO because they weren't paying their bills.
And all we're asking for is to get Greenland, including right, title, and ownership, because you need the ownership to defend it.
You can't defend it on a lease.
Number one, legally, it's not defensible that way, totally.
And number two, psychologically, who the hell wants to defend a license agreement or a lease, which is a large piece of ice in the middle of the ocean where if there is a war, much of the action will take place on that piece of ice.
Think of it.
Those missiles would be flying right over the center of that piece of ice.
All we want from Denmark for national and international security and to keep our very energetic and dangerous potential enemies at bay is this land on which we're going to build the greatest golden dome ever built.
We're building a golden dome that's going to just by its very nature going to be defending Canada.
Canada gets a lot of freebies from us, by the way.
They should be grateful also, but they're not.
Vital Role in Peace00:03:52
I watched your prime minister yesterday.
He wasn't so grateful.
But they should be grateful to us.
Canada, Canada lives because of the United States.
Remember that, Mark, the next time you make your statements.
What we did for Israel was amazing, but that's nothing compared to what we have planned for the United States, Canada, and the rest of the world.
We are going to build a dome like no other.
We did it.
We did it for Israel.
And by the way, I told BBB, stop taking credit for the dome.
That's our technology.
That's our stuff.
But they had a lot of courage and they were good fighters and they did a good job.
And we wiped out the Iran nuclear threat like nobody can believe.
Nobody's ever seen anything like it.
That, Venezuela, taking down Salome, wiping out al-Baghdadi when he tried to reinstitute ISIS.
We did a lot.
I did a lot.
A lot of big things.
All perfectly executed.
Everyone was perfectly executed.
Somebody told me that a military expert told me, sir, everything you've done has been perfectly executed.
I said, I know.
So other presidents have spent, whether foolishly or not, trillions and trillions of dollars on NATO and gotten absolutely nothing in return.
We've never asked for anything.
It's always a one-way street.
Now they want us to help them with Ukraine.
And let me say, we're going to, I'm really helping, not even them.
I want to see last week, if you saw it was 10,000 soldiers, but last month it was 31,000 soldiers died.
31,000.
That's this room times the number of people in this room times 30.
Think of it.
30,000 soldiers died in one month.
The month before it was 27,000.
The month before that, it was 28,000.
The month before that, it was 25,000.
It's a bloodbath over there.
And that's what I want to stop.
It doesn't help the United States, but these are souls.
These are young, young people, look like you, look like some of you right in the front row.
They go to war.
Their parents are so proud.
Oh, there he goes.
Comes back.
Two weeks later, they're going to call your son's head's been blown off.
I want to stop it.
It's a horrible war.
It's the worst since World War II.
They keep going.
They'll exceed World War II.
The numbers are staggering how many people they've lost.
They don't want to talk about it.
Ukraine and Russia lost just tremendous amounts.
And I'm dealing with President Putin, and he wants to make a deal, I believe.
I'm dealing with President Zelensky, and I think he wants to make a deal.
I'm meeting him today.
He might be in the audience right now.
But they got to get that war stopped because too many people are dying, needlessly dying.
Too many souls are being lost.
It's the only reason I'm interested in doing it.
But in doing it, I'm helping Europe.
I'm helping NATO.
And until the last few days, when I told them about Iceland, they loved me.
They called me daddy, right?
Last time.
A very smart man said, he's our daddy.
He's running it.
I was like running it.
I went from running it to being a terrible human being.
But now what I'm asking for is a piece of ice, cold and poorly located, that can play a vital role in world peace and world protection.
Drug Prices Dispute00:15:21
It's a very small ask compared to what we have given them for many, many decades.
But the problem with NATO is that We'll be there for them 100%.
But I'm not sure that they'd be there for us.
If we gave them the call, gentlemen, we are being attacked.
We're under attack by such and such a nation.
I know them all very well.
I'm not sure that they'd be there.
I know we'd be there for them.
I don't know that they'd be there for us.
So with all of the money we expend, with all of the blood, sweat, and tears, I don't know that they'd be there for us.
They're not there for us on Iceland, that I can tell you.
I mean, our stock market took the first dip yesterday because of Iceland.
So Iceland's already cost us a lot of money.
But that dip is peanuts compared to what it's gone up.
And we have an unbelievable future.
And that stock market is going to be doubled.
We're going to hit 50,000 and that stock market's going to double in a relatively short period of time because of everything that's happening.
But this is a good example.
After giving NATO and European nations trillions and trillions of dollars in defense, they buy our weapons.
We make the greatest weapons in the world, but now we're going to make them faster, much faster.
You saw that.
I put a cap on the salaries.
Then I put no buybacks, no stock buybacks, no various other things that they were doing.
I mean, they were making $50 million, but it would take them three years to give you a Patriot missile.
I said, that's not good.
My chauffeur can do a better job than that.
And he makes slightly less than 50.
They make big salaries.
If they're going to make those big salaries, they're going to have to produce a lot faster.
The good news is we have the greatest equipment in the world.
Now we're going to start making it a lot faster.
They're going to build additional plants.
And all of the money that goes into stock buybacks is going to go into building plants.
We're not allowing stock buybacks by defense companies any longer.
They're going to build new plants to make tomahawks, Patriots.
We have the best equipment, F-35s, F-47, the new one just coming out.
They say it's the most devastating plane fighter jet ever.
Who knows?
They called it 47.
If I don't like it, I'm going to take the 47 off it.
I wonder why they called it 47, what to think about that.
But if I don't like it, I'm going to take that 47 off.
But it's supposed to be the stage 6.
It's supposed to be the first stage 6 plane, undetectable, like our B-2 bombers were undetectable.
They flew right over Iran.
They were undetectable.
And they did their job and they got the hell out of there.
So we want a piece of ice for world protection and they won't give it.
We've never asked for anything else.
And we could have kept that piece of land and we didn't.
So they have a choice.
You can say yes, and we will be very appreciative.
Or you can say no and we will remember.
A strong and secure America means a strong NATO.
And that's one reason why I'm working every day to ensure our military is very powerful.
Our borders are very strong.
And above all, our economy is strong because national security requires economic security and economic prosperity.
And we have the greatest that we've ever had.
Biden and his allies destroyed our economy and gave us perhaps the worst inflation in American history.
They say 48 years, I say forever, but I think 48 years is the equivalent to forever.
Whether it's 48 years or ever, it's terrible.
Costing the typical family $33,000.
What they did to this country should never, ever be forgotten.
It's early, but he has to be rated as the worst president we've ever had by far.
The Autopen did many of the, much of the damage.
The Autopen, he was the Autopen president, because I don't believe a sane president would have ever signed the kind of things that he signed.
But now grocery prices, energy prices, air fares, mortgage rates, rent, and car payments are all coming down and they're coming down fast.
We inherited a mess, but we've done a hell of a job in 12 months.
Under my most favored nation policy for drug prices, the cost of prescription drugs is coming down by up to 90%, depending on the way you calculate.
You could also say 5, 6, 7, 800%.
There are two ways of figuring that.
But we have a favored nations policy that every president wanted, no president was able to get.
I got it.
And other nations approved it.
And I had to use tariffs in order to get it because they said no way.
In other words, a pill that costs 10% in London costs $130.
Think it costs $10 in London, costs $130 in New York or in Los Angeles.
And I'd say, boy, that's bad.
Friends of mine would say, you know, we go to London, you can buy this stuff for nothing.
We go all over the world.
We could buy it for nothing.
Because basically America was subsidizing every nation in the world because presidents allowed them to get away with it.
It became very tough.
So when I called up Emmanuel Macron, I watched him yesterday with those beautiful sunglasses.
What the hell happened?
But I watched him sort of be tough.
But he was at $10 for a pill.
And I said, Emmanuel, and I have all the big pharmaceutical companies are in total agreement.
It wasn't easy, by the way.
They're tough, smart.
They've been getting away with the scam for a long time.
But they gave it up.
But they said, you'll never get the countries to approve it.
I said, why is that?
Because they won't.
They always said, we're not paying any more.
Get the rest for the United States.
So over the years, they stayed the same.
We just went up, up, up.
And I mean, we would pay 13, 14, 15 times more than certain countries would.
So I said, no, they'll approve it 100%.
Sir, you'll never get them to approve it.
I said, I guarantee you.
But I actually saw it with Emmanuel, who probably is in the room too.
And I like him.
I actually like him.
Hard to believe, isn't it?
And I said, Emmanuel, you're going to have to lift the price of that bill to $20, maybe $30.
Think of that.
That means it's a doubling, a doubling of prescription drugs.
Might be a tripling, might be a quadrupling.
It's not easy.
No, no, no, Donald, I will not do that.
I said, yes, you will, 100%.
He said, no, no, no.
You're asking me to double.
I said, Emmanuel, you've been taking advantage of the United States for 30 years with prescription drugs.
You really should do it.
And you will do it.
I have no doubt.
In fact, I am 100% sure you're going to.
No, no, no, I will not do it.
Because yes, in all fairness, he has to double or triple because the world being a bigger place than the United States, it's not that you meet in the middle.
You just have to go up some.
And we come down a lot.
They go up a little.
We come down a lot.
So we're at $130.
They're at 10.
So they may have to go to 20 or 30.
No more than that.
I said, Emmanuel, are you going to be doubling or tripling?
No, no, no.
I said, here's the story, Emmanuel.
The answer is you're going to do it.
You're going to do it fast.
And if you don't, I'm putting a 25% tariff on everything that you sell into the United States and a 100% tariff on your wines and champagne.
And that's about 10 times more than what I'm requesting.
And you're going to do it.
I don't want to go public with it, but you may make me do that.
No, no, Donald, I will do it.
I will do it.
It took me on average three minutes, a country, saying the same thing.
You will do it.
They all said, no, no, no, I will not do it.
You're asking me to double the cost of prescription.
I said, that's right, because you've been screwing us for 30 years.
And they said, we will not do it.
I said, that's all right.
On Monday morning, we're putting 25, 30, 50.
I gave different numbers for different countries.
This is also national security we're talking about.
Not fair.
We're not going to subsidize the whole world.
And every one of those countries have agreed to do it.
So one of the biggest things that I've done is the fact that we have now most favored nations.
We will pay whatever the lowest price is in the entire world.
So our drug prices are going to be coming down by staggering 90%.
Again, you could say 1,000%, 2,000%.
Depends on the way you want to figure it.
But we'll go with the way the fake news likes it better because it sounds, can you imagine a 90% reduction sounds much worse?
But drug prices are going to be coming down tremendously in all the nations, and I appreciate them doing it.
But they did it.
In all fairness, without tariffs, I wouldn't have been able to get it done.
After declining $3,000 under Biden, real incomes are up in the United States by $2,000, $3,000, and even $5,000 and more.
Homeownership has always been a symbol of health and vigor of American society, but that goal fell out of reach for millions and millions of people in the Biden era because interest rates went up so high.
Today I'm taking action to bring back this bedrock of the American dream.
In recent years, Wall Street giants and institutional investment firms, many of you are here, many of you are good friends of mine, many of you are supporters.
Sorry to do this, I'm so sorry.
But you've driven up housing prices by purchasing hundreds of thousands of single-family homes.
And it's been a great investment for them.
Often, as much as 10% of houses on the market.
You know, the crazy thing is a person can't get depreciation on a house, but when a corporation buys it, they get depreciation.
Okay, that's something we're going to have to think about too.
I don't know if too many people think about that.
You buy a corporation, they buy 500 houses, they buy hundreds of thousands, they buy 500 houses, they can take depreciation.
A person sweats and works and buys one house, they can't.
But homes are built for people, not for corporations, and America will not become a nation of renters.
We're not going to do that.
That's why I have signed an executive order banning large institutional investors from buying single-family homes.
It's just not fair to the public.
They're not able to buy a house.
And i'm calling on Congress to pass that ban into permanent law, and I think they will.
One of the biggest barriers to saving for a down payment has been surging credit card debt.
The profit margin for credit card companies now exceeds 50 percent one of the biggest and they charge Americans interest rates of 28 30 31, 32 whatever happened to usury.
So to help our citizens recover from the Biden disaster, all caused by this horrible, just horrible, president, I'm asking Congress to cap credit card interest rates at 10% for one year.
And this will help millions of Americans save for a home.
They have no idea they're paying 28%.
They go out there a little late in their payment and they end up losing their house.
It's terrible.
To unleash innovation and savings and financing, I'm also working to ensure America remains the crypto capital of the world.
And to that end, last year I signed the Landmark Genius Act into law.
Now Congress is working very hard on crypto market structure legislation, Bitcoin, all of them, which I hope to sign very soon, unlocking new pathways for Americans to reach financial freedom.
And I did it for two reasons.
Number one, I thought it was politically good and it was.
I got tremendous political support.
But more importantly, China wanted that market too.
It's just like they want the AI.
And we've got that market, I think, pretty well locked up.
If I didn't do it, you know, Biden was totally against it until before the election when they realized that there were millions of people voting against them over crypto.
And all of a sudden they loved it very much, but it was too late.
They blew it.
But it is politically popular, but it's much more importantly, we have to make it so that China doesn't get the hold of it.
And once they have that hold, we're not going to be able to get it back.
So I'm honored to have done it.
Finally, I've instructed government-backed institutions to purchase up to $200 billion in mortgage bonds to bring down interest rates.
And I'll be announcing a new Fed chairman in the not too distant future.
I think he'll do a very good job.
So I gave away some of it.
He did give that away.
So we have something, get something, but somebody that's very respected.
They're all respected.
They're all great.
Everyone that I interviewed is great.
Everyone could do, I think, a fantastic job.
Problem is they change once they get the job.
They go, you know, they're saying everything I want to hear.
And then they get the job.
They're locked in for six years.
They get the job.
And all of a sudden, let's raise rates a little bit.
I call them survey.
We'd rather not talk about this.
It's amazing how people change once they have the job.
It's too bad.
Sort of disloyalty, but they got to do what they think is right.
We have a terrible chairman right now, Jerome, too late Powell.
He's always too late.
And he's very late with interest rates, except before the election, he was just fine for the other side.
So we're going to have somebody that's great, and we hope he does the right job.
Last week, the average 30-year mortgage rate dropped below 6% for the first time in many years.
Another major factor in driving up housing costs was the mass invasion of our borders.
Wealthy Homeowners00:09:50
And I have to say one thing about housing, because nobody ever says this.
I am very protective of people that already own a house, of which we have millions and millions and millions.
And because we have had such a good run, the house values have gone up tremendously.
And these people have become wealthy.
They weren't wealthy.
They become wealthy because of their house.
And every time you make it more and more and more affordable for somebody to buy a house cheaply, you're actually hurting the value of those houses, obviously, because the one thing works in tandem with the other.
And I don't want to do anything that's going to hurt the value of people that own a house who, for the first time in their lives, are walking around the streets of whatever city they're in, very proud that their house is worth $500,000, $600,000, $700,000.
Now, if I want to really crush the housing market, I could do that so fast and people could buy houses, but you would destroy a lot of people that already have houses.
In some cases, they've mortgaged their house and the mortgage would be very low.
And all of a sudden, the mortgage without any changes becomes very high and they end up losing the house.
I'm not going to hurt.
And I speak with Scott, who's doing a fantastic job, and Howard, who's doing a fantastic job, and all of my people.
And I always say, look, you know, I can crush the hell out of the market.
We can drop interest rates to a level.
And that's one thing we do want to do.
That's natural.
That's good for everybody.
You know, the dropping of the interest rates, we should be paying a much lower interest rate than we are.
We should be paying the lowest interest rate of any country in the world, because without the United States, you don't have a country.
I mean, I had a case with Switzerland.
We happened to be in Switzerland.
Maybe I'll give you a quick story.
But they were paying nothing.
They make beautiful watches, great watches, Rolex, all of them.
They were paying nothing to the United States when they sent their product in.
And we had a $41 billion deficit, $41 billion with this beautiful place.
Flew over it, isn't it nice?
So I said, let's put a 30% tariff on them so that we get back some of it, not all of it at all.
We still have a deficit, big deficit.
We had 40, 41 million.
That's a big deficit.
And I said, let's put a tariff on different tariffs, different places.
You're all party to them, in some cases, victims to them.
But in the end, it's a fair thing.
And most of you realize that.
But we put a 30% tariff on Switzerland and all hell broke loose.
They were calling.
I mean, like you wouldn't believe.
And I know so many people from Switzerland, incredible place, incredible, brilliant place.
But I then realized that they're only good because of us.
And there's so many other examples.
I mean, us and probably other places, but a majority of the money they make is because of us, because we never charged them anything.
So they come in, they sell their watches, no tariffs, no nothing.
They walk away.
They make $41 billion on just us.
So I said, no, we can't do that.
So I'm going to bring it up.
I still would have a deficit pretty substantial, but I brought it up to 30%.
And the, I guess, prime minister, I don't think president, I think prime minister called a woman, and she was very repetitive.
She said, no, no, no, you cannot do that, 30%.
You cannot do that.
We are a small, small country.
I said, yeah, but you have a big, big deficit.
You may be small, but you have a bigger deficit than big countries.
He said, no, no, no, please.
You cannot do it.
Kept saying the same thing over and over.
We are a small country.
I said, but you're a big country in terms of.
And she just rubbed me the wrong way, I'll be honest with you.
And I said, all right, thank you, ma'am.
Appreciate it.
Do not do this.
Thank you very much, ma'am.
And I made it 39%.
And then all hell really broke out.
And I was paid visits by everybody.
Rolex came to see me.
They all came to see me.
But I realized, and I reduced it because I don't want to hurt people.
I don't want to hurt them.
And we brought it down to a lower level.
Doesn't mean it's not going up, but we brought it down to a lower level.
But they pay now the tariff.
But I realized that we have many places like that where they're making a fortune because of the United States.
Without the United States, they wouldn't be making anything.
Think of it.
Switzerland made $41 billion on us.
And as she said, it's a small place.
And I realized with that, I don't know, I was so because she was so aggressive.
And I realized in that conversation that the United States is keeping the whole world afloat.
Many places, I could give you six, seven places, just in the people in this little area.
I know every one of them.
They're sort of, they're looking down.
They don't want to see me.
They don't want to stare me in the eyes.
But they're taking advantage of, everybody took advantage of the United States.
But I've been very fair and I gave them a tariff and it was fine.
But I realized that without us, it's not Switzerland anymore.
Without us, it's not any of the countries that are represented here.
And we want to work with the countries.
We want to work with them.
We're not looking to destroy them.
I could have said 39, 40%.
I could have said I want a 70% tariff.
Then we make money with Switzerland.
But Switzerland would have been probably destroyed, financially destroyed.
I don't want to do that.
But we should be paying the lowest interest rate of everybody.
I hope Scott's listening to this because we should be paying the lowest interest rate of everybody.
Without us, without us, most of the countries don't even work.
And then you have the protection factor.
Without our military, which is the greatest in the world by far, without our military, you have threats that you would never, you wouldn't believe.
You wouldn't believe.
You don't have threats because of us.
And that's because of NATO.
One other thing, and I have to say it so importantly, in the old days, and I used to say I'm the youngest in the room.
Now I'm among the older.
I hate to say it.
I don't feel old, but I'm among the older.
But I remember not long ago, 20, 25 years ago, when good news came out about, let's say, the United States.
The United States had a great quarter.
The United States had a great month.
All the stocks went up.
And that's the way it's supposed to be.
Now when they say the United States had a record quarter, it's unbelievable how well it's doing.
All the stocks crash because they say, oh no, inflation, inflation, they're going to raise interest rates.
And they do.
Some of these stupid people like Powell, they raise interest rates.
And what they do is they stop you from being successful.
It used to be when we had a great quarter, a great month, great earnings, great anything, any good news, the stock market went up.
That's the way it's going to be.
We got to do that again.
Because that's the way it should be.
Now when we have a great month, they want to kill it.
Like we did over 5%, where people were surprised.
We should do 20%.
We could do 25%.
Well, we announced good numbers.
And the reason is they're so petrified of inflation.
And growth doesn't mean inflation.
We've had tremendous growth with very low inflation.
In fact, growth can fight inflation, proper growth.
So we want to get back to the days when we announced great numbers because we're going to be announcing phenomenal, you know, all these factories that are being built at record, thousands of businesses are being built right now.
Remember, $18 trillion is invested.
I think the second number is three.
And that was China many years ago.
Investments in the country from outside.
18 trillion, nobody's ever seen.
And that's money coming in and building things, factories.
Thousands of businesses are being built.
Thousands.
Hundreds of big factors car plants are moving back to the United States.
They're coming in from Canada.
They're coming in from Mexico, from Japan.
Japan's coming in and building plants here in order to avoid tariffs.
They're coming in from China.
They're coming in from all over the world.
We have more plants being built now, car plants than we've ever had built, even in the heyday from the 1940s and 50s.
And they're bigger.
They don't use renovations anymore where they take an old, they rip it down, they build a brand new plant, super modern plant.
But it's happening at levels that nobody's ever seen.
In 2024, the U.S. built less than 2 million new homes, but Biden admitted more than 8 million new migrants.
Washington D.C. Safe Again00:02:26
And those days are over.
In 2025, for the first time in 50 years, the United States had reverse migration.
Boy, that was nice.
And these were criminals that were being taken out of our country because they allowed people to come into our country from jails, from gangs, drug dealers, murderers.
11,888 murderers.
We've gotten most of them out.
And then ICE gets beat up by stupid people from leadership in Minnesota.
We actually are helping Minnesota so much, but they don't appreciate it.
Most places do.
You know, Washington, D.C. is the safest place now in the United States.
It was a very dangerous place to walk.
And now you can walk with your wife, your kids right through the middle of the city right now.
Washington, D.C. is as safe as it gets.
It was one of the most unsafe.
I had to admit, we sent in the military, the National Guard.
Within two months, it was great.
Within three months, it's like, it's like a really great place and a safe place and a beautiful place.
It's even been cleaned up.
The graffiti's gone.
The fences are gone.
We don't have to worry about fences anymore.
All of the places, the grasses are cut and replaced with new grass in many cases.
It's all going to happen in the spring.
But Washington and D.C. is beautiful again and it's safe.
New restaurants are opening up.
They're all closing.
Now you can't get into a restaurant.
Restaurants in Washington, D.C. are all opening.
Memphis also, Memphis, Tennessee, New Orleans, Louisiana.
We're there for three weeks.
It's cut.
We've cut the crime down by 64% within another month.
Well, virtually no crime there.
We can do that all over.
We're going to help the people in California.
We want to have no crime.
I know Gavin was here.
I used to get along so great with Gavin when I was president.
Gavin's a good guy.
And we're going to, if he needed it, I would do it in a heartbeat.
I'd love to see.
We did help them a lot in Los Angeles, a lot with the early, early in my term when they had some problems.
Knocking Out Drug Boats00:03:42
But we would love to do it.
I will say this, if I were a Democrat governor or whatever, I would call up Trump.
I'd say, come on in, make us look good because we're cutting crime down to nothing.
And we're taking people out, career criminals who are only going to do bad things and we're bringing them back to their countries.
But where we've done it, it's been amazing.
And we have a capacity to do it at much greater levels.
We're cutting illegal aliens off welfare and other government benefits.
And I have directed that starting immediately, there will be no more payments to sanctuary cities because they are really just sanctuaries for criminals.
They're really protecting criminals.
And those are the ones we have to get out of the country, murderers, drug dealers, the mentally insane.
They emptied their mental institutions into the United States.
And despite that, we have the lowest crime numbers that we've ever had in the history of the country.
Just came out.
But equally importantly, we're cracking down on more than $19 billion in fraud that was stolen by Somalian bandits.
Can you believe that Somalia, they turned out to be higher IQ than we thought?
And we say, these are low IQ people.
How did they go into Minnesota and steal all that money?
And we have, you know, they're pirates, they get pirates, right?
But we shoot them out of the water just like we shoot the drug boats out.
They're not pirating too many boats lately.
Do you notice?
When they go out into those boats, they want to take over a billion and a half dollar tanker loaded up with oil.
And they say, we're going to blow up your boat.
They have powerful weapons.
You hit the side of the boat, you blow the whole thing up.
The insurance companies are petrified.
So they say, just give them the boat.
We'll give them money instead.
And I don't do that.
We blow them right the hell out of the water.
We see them going out.
We blow them out of the water.
We don't have any pirates so much anymore.
We do.
They won't be there long.
We've cut down with the hitting of the boats that are loaded up with drugs, including submarines.
Can you believe they actually buy what they call mini-subs very fast?
They're meant for drugs.
We've knocked out two of them.
The Democrats say they were fishing.
You have ruined somebody's fishing weekend.
I would say a submarine is not a fishing boat.
You don't fish.
But we've knocked down drugs by water, the oceans, the sea, by 97.2%.
Think of that.
And I actually say, who the hell are the 3%?
Because I would not want to be piloting one of those boats.
We knocked them down and now we're going to start on land.
We're going to knock it all out.
The land is the easy part.
What we did on the sea is incredible.
And that's our great military.
The situation in Minnesota reminds us that the West cannot mass import foreign cultures, which have failed to ever build a successful society of their own.
I mean, we're taking people from Somalia, and Somalia is a failed, it's not a nation, got no government, got no police, got no million, got no nothing.
And then we have this fake congressperson who they just reported is worth $30 million.
You believe this?
Elon Omar talking about the Constitution provides me, she comes from a country that's not a country, and she's telling us how to run America.
Cherish Our Culture00:12:40
Not going to get away with it much longer, let me tell you.
The explosion of prosperity and conclusion and progress that built the West did not come from our tax codes.
It ultimately came from our very special culture.
This is the precious inheritance that America and Europe have in common.
We share it.
We share it, but we have to keep it strong.
We have to become stronger, more successful, and more prosperous than ever.
We have to defend that culture and rediscover the spirit that lifted the West from the depths of the dark ages to the pinnacle of human achievement.
We live in an incredible, changing period.
It's an unbelievable time, but we have to take advantage of the time that we're in.
In our hands are technologies that our ancestors could scarcely have.
I mean, they couldn't have even dreamt some of the things that we see today.
and so rapidly they're produced i mean ai two years ago nobody ever heard of the term and now everybody's talking about it and it can have some very good purpose it could also have some dangerous purpose and for that we have to watch out but some tremendous things are happening because of it and we're leading by so much we're doing so well but opportunities that are bigger and grander than ever before in human history are right before us It is the pioneers in this room.
Many of you in this room are true pioneers.
You're two truly brilliant, brilliant people.
Just your ability to get a ticket is brilliant because you have about 50 people for every seat.
I don't know what that's Larry.
Everything Larry touches turns to gold.
He made this very successful.
But you're in this room, and some of you are the greatest leaders anywhere in the world.
You're the greatest brains anywhere in the world.
And the future is unlimited.
And to a large part because of you.
And we have to protect you and we have to cherish you.
I always say we have to cherish our brilliant people because there aren't many of them.
So together with confidence, boldness, and persistence, let us lift up our people, grow our economies, defend our shared destiny, and build a future for our citizens that is more ambitious, more exciting, more inspiring, and greater than the world has ever seen.
We're in a position to do things that nobody else has ever even thought of before.
And many of the people in this room are the ones that are doing it.
And I want to congratulate you.
And I'm with you all the way.
You can do things that nobody else can even think about.
So I congratulate you on your tremendous success.
And the United States is back, bigger, stronger, better than ever before.
And I'll see you around.
Thank you all very much.
Thank you very much.
I'll see you around.
Thank you.
What an absolute scorched earth.
Globalists on life support.
Does Trump do a little interview now?
Well, he certainly won't.
This was supposed to be a nice fire chat, Mr. President.
Yes, good.
I got set up.
I did know.
You made a job for the moderator really easy.
Thank you, Mr. President, for your speech.
I do have a few follow-up questions, if it's okay.
I don't think I should start with Greenland, maybe.
I'll start with the economy.
The U.S. economy is doing really, really well.
But how to sustain this growth moving forward?
Because there's always a recession looming around the corner.
Well, you know, the one thing about economies and recessions is sometimes you get hit unexpectedly and there's nothing you can do about it.
All brilliant people, but there's nothing.
One example was COVID.
We had an economy going at levels like nobody had ever seen my first two and a half, three years.
And then I heard the word pandemic, not COVID.
They came up with that name over a period of time.
We won't get into that.
But I heard the word pandemic.
And I had a poll come out that was so strong just prior to that.
And I was with the two best pulsers, McLaughlin, Fabrizio.
And they said, sir, George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, if they came back and ran as president and vice president, they couldn't beat you.
And then what happened is the following day, I was told to stay tuned because there's something really bad happening in China.
There are bodies laying all over Wuhan, right around that certain building that we talk about.
I would have said it came from Wuhan.
It did come from Wuhan.
And there were body bags.
We saw it by satellite.
And they said there are strange things happening in China.
And so it began.
And we ended up with the COVID, and the whole world suffered.
We did a phenomenal job.
I don't think we got the credit we deserve.
We did something that Operation Warp Speed, which some people say was one of the greatest military feats ever.
We did a great job, use our military, use a lot of people.
But sometimes you get hit with things, nothing you can do.
You get hit with things like that unexpectedly.
And we got through it.
And when I left, the stock market was higher than it was previous to the COVID coming up.
And that was, I called it a great achievement.
But things happen.
Bad things happen.
The things that we can stop are wars if we're smart.
That we can stop.
Those are a matter of being intelligent and having intelligent people on the other side because wars are the worst of all.
Wars are worse than anything.
But we can stop wars because that's sort of up to us.
But things like dust flying in the air, wherever COVID comes from, or whatever comes, sometimes you have to be a little bit lucky.
But we are poised to have an economy like no other, not only in this country, but anywhere.
You know, when you hear the kind of numbers that I can tell you that Scott Pesant was with me the other day, and he's looking at numbers, he said, I can't.
And that's all he's done his whole life, pretty much your whole life.
Scott, you weren't going to be a football player, I don't think.
Scott was not that great at football, but he was always good at numbers, right?
And he was looking at numbers.
He said, I'd never seen anything like this.
We're poised to do things that no other country has ever done.
And, you know, luck, I hate to say it, but we need a little luck.
We don't want to get hit by something that nobody could have thought, whoever thought we were going to hit by a pandemic.
You know, when I heard the word pandemic, I said, oh, that's an ancient problem.
World War I, they lost 100 million people.
It actually ended World War I.
A lot of people don't know.
The Spanish flu in World War I ended the war because all the soldiers were sick.
The soldiers were so sick on both sides.
And that war was raging and they were all dying from the Spanish flu.
They were sick as dogs.
They couldn't fight.
So, you know, you don't know how that would have turned out.
But so we do, I mean, subject to that, and I always have to put a caveat in for it, but we're poised to have the greatest growth of any large country.
I think any country that there's been, when you look at what's happening in the United States, it's really amazing.
Thank you.
One thing that maybe keeps you up at night, I know you don't sleep that much anyway, Mr. President, is the debt.
The U.S. debt is high, is now the biggest expenditure on your budget.
How to get out of that impulse?
Well, the big thing is growth.
I mean, growth is the way.
If we grow like this, we go from having a $37, $36, $37 trillion.
We go from having high debt to low debt.
But we also are cutting expenses, you know, the old-fashioned way.
We have extraordinary growth.
I think we're going to be growing our way out.
I think we're going to be paying off debt.
We're taking in tremendous money from tariffs fairly.
And again, I'm using them judiciously.
You know, Switzerland's a case study.
I could have gotten much more.
I could have asked for much more.
But we're using them judiciously.
But I think growth, most importantly, and then cutting costs.
Now, if you take a look at Minnesota, $19 billion in fraud and other things.
People going to airports, they came into the country, they don't have 10 cents and they're leaving with hundreds of thousands of cash in their bags.
When we get to that and our DOJ, Pam, and Todd, and all the people that work over there, and all of the people that work in here, I can tell you, Scott Besant is working on that.
It's a priority, right?
You have your whole team.
We're in there looking for where this money is coming from, how much it is.
It could be more than 19 billion.
Can you believe that?
That's just one state.
If we were able to cut out 50% of the fraud, 50%, and we should be able to do better than that, we would have a balanced budget without having to talk about even growth.
So we have a lot of options, but we're working very hard on that.
That's a big deal.
It's not just the protests, the fake protests done by agitators and professional insurrectionists.
That's what they are.
They're professional troublemakers, but we are looking very strong at the money too in Minnesota and other places.
I think, Mr. President, also the 500 billion US dollars invested in artificial intelligence and the frontier technologies last year also were driving growth exponentially in the U.S. AI has been a big factor.
AI is massive.
I mean, Mark Zuckerberg showed me a plant where he put it over a map of Manhattan, and it was basically the size of Manhattan.
I said, you got to be kidding.
It's a plant that was miles long, miles wide, very high.
I don't think it was high like the Empire State Building, but it was high.
And it literally covered most of the island of Manhattan.
That's called a big plant.
And, you know, when I heard they're going to spend 50 billion building it, I said, what, you know, if you spend 50 million, you can build a nice little shopping center.
If you spend 500 million, you can build a good shopping center.
But how do you spend 50 billion?
When I looked at this thing, I said, you think you'll be able to do it for that?
It's amazing.
When, you know, some of the plants that I see, and I see them all, and again, so big is we're letting them build their own electric generation.
This way we have no problem.
And otherwise they'd be complaining.
There'd be nobody able to, but, you know, we have an old grid system.
And not only that, they're going to sell at a very cheap price the excess electricity that they create back into our grid.
So that'll solve some problems for certain states that don't have enough electricity.
We also know that on the AI, there is fierce competition between the U.S. as the largest economy in the world, 27% of the global GDP and 5% of the global population not doing that badly, and China.
And we know that that competition is very tough on AI.
I know you're heading to a state visit to China in April.
How do you see the U.S.-China relationship moving forward?
Are you able to combine this tough competition with also collaboration?
So I've always had a very good relationship with President Xi and with President Putin.
Talk about, you know, the larger powers.
But I've always had a very good relationship with President Xi of China.
Doug Bergham: The 100 Vote Wonder00:02:28
He's an incredible man.
What he's done is amazing.
He's highly respected by everybody.
And I do now.
I mean, now I have good, it was very severely interrupted by COVID.
I used to call it the China virus, but he said, do you think you could use a different name?
And I decided to do that because why should we have a problem over that?
But I would do that.
And they were.
You're a true diplomat, huh?
I became a diplomat for the first time.
Well, you know who taught me that?
Marco Rubio, Marco Rubio.
He said, let me teach you about diplomacy.
Any guy that gets approved by 100% of the votes, think of it, he got liberal Democrats and radical right Republicans to approve him.
He's the only one.
The next one was like lost 45 votes, right?
But he got all 100 votes voting for him.
And at first, I wasn't happy about it.
I said, wait a minute, I don't like that.
And now it turns out that the Democrats probably wish they didn't do that.
And Marco has been fantastic.
Marco, stand up, please.
You have done a great job as Secretary of State.
He's going to go down as the best secretary of state.
And Scott, and we have Susie, who's the first female chief of staff, and she's the best chief of staff, too.
And I see Howard Lutnik, who I know spoke.
And Howard's fantastic.
Some of the deals we're doing are great.
And I want to pay particular attention because we have Chris.
And Chris, you got up and spoke, I think.
He's the number one oil man in the world because I was going to put Doug Bergham, who's fantastic.
I don't know if Doug's here.
Is Doug here?
Doug Bergham is fantastic.
He said, sir, there's one man better than me.
And he introduced me to Chris, and he turns out to be.
So we're drilling more oil and gas now than we ever have by almost double.
Is that right, Chris?
And on top of it, we got a lot coming out of Venezuela.
So anyway, so we're doing great.
The country is just doing great.
We have great people.
Thank you.
And I see other people.
We have Steve Witkoff.
We have Jared.
I got so many people.
Balancing Middle East Power Dynamics00:08:07
I'm in trouble because when I go back, they're going to be people with long faces.
You didn't introduce.
I got so many people.
And we have a lot of the greatest people anywhere in the world.
I know them all.
So I won't continue because we'd be here all day.
Thank you, Mr. President.
We also know that you're a deal maker and then maybe coming back to Greenland and Ukraine.
What kind of deal in the end do you see between the U.S. and Denmark?
Because, you know, I guess you see it now as a negotiation going on.
Well, it's costing Denmark hundreds of millions a year to run it.
And Denmark's a small country and wonderful people.
But, you know, it's very expensive.
It's a very big piece of ice.
And it's very important.
And I mean, I don't want to repeat the speech, but it's very important that we use that for national and international security.
That can create a power that will make it impossible for the bad guys to do anything against the perceived good ones.
And it's a great block for Europe, just like, you know, Denmark was supposed to spend hundreds of millions of dollars.
They didn't spend the money.
They didn't spend anything almost.
And we'll see what happens.
I just say this.
NATO has treated the United States of America very unfairly.
We never asked for anything.
We never got anything.
We actually took care of the needs of NATO for years and years, which I felt was always unfair.
So I got NATO to pay because they're rich countries.
But I think it's time that NATO step up.
We're helping them with Ukraine.
Without us, I think Putin would have gone all the way.
I think we have it.
I think Putin, I think that could have been a World War III, if you want to know the truth.
If Kamala was elected or Joe, any one of those, you know, those thinkers, I think you could have ended up in World War III.
I will say Steve Witkoff has been dealing incredibly with, but we're not going to have World War III.
We want to get it stopped, but we're not going to have World War III.
I think if I wasn't elected, I think that could have evolved into World War III.
It was a very, very bad situation.
And it still is, but it's not that kind of bad.
It's bad because so many young people are being killed.
How close do you think there is on an agreement on Ukraine?
I had the pleasure of speaking with Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner yesterday.
I know they're working hard on it.
I know that they're also traveling now.
Do you see this very close or still?
Well, I hate to say it.
I thought that was going to be, so I settled eight wars plus.
And I thought that was going to be one of my easier ones, not the easiest.
Some I settled in a matter of hours because I'm good at that stuff.
You know, the United Nations should be doing this.
I shouldn't be doing it, but it doesn't matter.
It's got to get done, saving a lot of lives.
We're saving millions of lives.
With Ukraine, Russia, there's tremendous hatred between President Zelensky and President Putin.
That's not good.
That's not good for settlements.
We know from dealing.
There's abnormal hatred.
With that being said, I think Russia wants to make a deal.
I think Ukraine wants to make a deal.
And we're going to try getting a deal done.
We're getting, I think, Steve, I think I can say that we're reasonably close.
But what happens is oftentimes we'll have a deal with Russia.
Russia's set and President Zelensky will not do it.
You saw that when he was in the Oval Office.
I was not happy.
And then we'll have President Zelensky wants to make a deal and Putin doesn't want to make the deal.
It's a very difficult balance.
And it's big time.
And it's just, it is, you know, to use a word, it's a bloodbath.
It's horrible.
What's happening?
It's a drone war.
The drones are killing, you know, thousands of people a week, thousands.
We have to get it stopped.
So I believe they're at a point now.
I'm going to meet with President Zelensky later today.
I believe they're at a point now where they can come together and get a deal done.
And if they don't, they're stupid.
That goes for both of them.
And I know they're not stupid, but if they don't get this done, they are stupid.
So I don't want to insult anyone, but you got to get this deal done.
Too many people are dying.
It's not worth it.
President Sisi is sitting on the first row here.
He spoke earlier today and also complimented you on the Gaza deal.
I think there will be a signing tomorrow.
Of course, there are different views on this, but how important do you think this signing is on the board of peace?
And do you think this is going to sustain?
Do you think we now will see Gaza reconstructed and the billions of US dollars invested?
I do.
I mean, I think we have peace in the Middle East.
There are some little situations like Hamas and Hamas has agreed to give up their weapons.
Now, you know, they were born with a weapon in their hand, so it's not easy to do.
When they were born, they were born with a rifle in their hand.
It's not an easy thing for them, but that's what they agreed to.
They've got to do it.
And we're going to know, Jared, over the next two or three days, certainly over the next three weeks, whether or not they're going to do it.
If they don't do it, they'll be blown away very quickly.
They'll be blown away.
You know, we have 59 countries that are part of that whole peace deal.
And some of those countries aren't even in, they're near the Middle East, but they're not in the Middle East traditionally.
And they want to come in and take out Hamas.
They want to come in.
They want to do whatever they can.
There's a problem with Hezbollah in Lebanon.
And we'll see what happens there.
But that's a problem.
But there are these little flames, but there's peace in the Middle East.
Now, had we not gone in and knocked out with those big, beautiful, we just ordered 25 brand new ones, the latest and the greatest, the B-2 bomber.
Take them, they went in there at 2 o'clock in the morning with no moon, no light, no nothing.
And every single one of those massive bombs hit its target, 100,000-pound bombs, hit its target, every one of them.
And then on top of it, from a submarine 300 miles away, we hit the sites with tomahawks, which is an unbelievable weapon.
So, you know, we did our job.
If we didn't do that, you would have never had peace in the Middle East.
And the countries like Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Qatar could never have, and others could never have signed anything because you would have had this dark cloud and the dark cloud was Iran with nuclear.
Iran would, if we didn't take them out, they would have had a nuclear weapon within two months.
They were very close to having the nuclear weapon, and we hit them hard.
And it was a total obliteration.
They may try again, but they're going to have to try from a different area because that area was obliterated.
Incredible thing we did.
And because we did that, we were able to make peace.
If we didn't do that, I would say, Jared and Steve, if we didn't do that, there was no chance of making peace because the countries I just named and other countries could have never signed off.
They were afraid.
They were afraid.
We had a bully.
The bully was Iran, the bully of the Middle East.
They used to call it for years they were the bully of the Middle East.
They're not the bully of the Middle East anymore.
Mr. President, I know you even had to change plane last night.
So I guess you didn't have much sleep, but I think you're on the.
But your energy is still there.
I know you have several bilateral meetings.
I know you're also hosting a reception.
So thank you so much for coming back to Davos.
Thank you so much.
It's highly appreciated.
President Trump Slams Globalists00:05:53
Thank you very much.
Thank you, everybody, very much.
Rowdy, that was just unbelievable.
Oh, man.
They're yelling questions at Trump.
Okay.
I just wanted to see if Trump will take some questions maybe from the audience.
I mean, goodness gracious, what are we talking about, Killer Klein?
90 minutes live for President Trump at Davos, where he put globalists on life support.
Actually, he pulled the plug and he just said globalism has failed.
Your windmills have failed.
Your stupid immigration policies have failed.
Your economy has failed.
Your security has failed.
You have failed your own people.
You're despised by your own people.
We hate you and you don't want to be on the wrong side of the United States empire.
Show me Trump with the red carpet.
He's the only world leader that got the red carpet treatment here in Davos.
Look at that.
You ever seen a red carpet for the helicopter?
Look at the red carpet helicopter.
Yo.
Ladies and gentlemen, we have some highlights.
President Trump saying he's going to send back all the smallies.
And President Trump going in hard on some of the major domestic issues here.
Some of the big time reporting out of the White House is that this is going to be Trump's last international trip for a very long time.
Trump's going to be focused domestically on selling his agenda and winning the midterms.
President Trump with the red carpet, though, arriving in power at Davos and then torching to their faces the global elites, including, but not limited to, Emmanuel Macrone, who he roasted alive, Mark Carney of Canada, who he warned, Xi Jinping, Vladimir Putin, just mean talking, smack of world leaders to their faces.
Oh man, and the global elites announcing some big-time housing policies here domestically that he's going to ban institutional capital and hedge funds from buying homes and artificially inflating the prices of homes here domestically.
President Trump predicting a doubling of the stock market.
And these are just some of the victories off the top of the dome for President Trump.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back.
Today is January 21st, 2026, the year of our Lord.
It is Wednesday, and President Trump has just gone scorch earth in the icy tundras of Switzerland and Davos against the globalists who are not even on life support.
They are gone, ladies and gentlemen.
RIP, play the bagpipes, or actually don't.
Dump them in the river.
This is the end of the globalist movement.
President Trump has ushered in something completely new.
The tectonic plates are shifting.
And of course, who could forget Donald Trump simply saying, we want Greenland as a tribute for the protection of Europe.
All of you would be speaking Russian or German right now.
For the protection of Europe, we've preserved and saved your stupid little cultures for long enough.
You're going to give us Denmark.
And as we have often said on this program, America already had Denmark.
We were the administrators of Denmark when the Germans defeated the Danes in less than six hours with barely a shot being fired.
So yes, this is a massive, massive win.
Donald Trump admitting the use of sonic weapons in the capturing of Maduro, dancing on the black bag communist dictator.
Ladies and gentlemen, we'll also have Jim Jordan joining the show in just a moment, checking in with my producers, as we have been rolling with President Trump this morning for the better part of like two hours, about two hours.
Killer Klein.
Yes, we're sitting here.
And Donald Trump, just like right on time, like a Swiss watch, President Trump, bringing the lulls and bringing in the smack talk to the global.
That's just great.
All right.
My name is Benny Johnson, and this is the Benny Show.
Some of our partners who have been waiting are American Century brought to you, ladies and gentlemen, by American Financing.
This is precisely what President Trump was talking about, usury rates for credit cards.
That can be a major killer.
It can be something that robs you of your American future.
Get out from under that debt.
Trump says that he wants to cap that at 10%.
Wow.
That is a rowdy, unbelievable victory for Donald Trump.
These are like policies that the left will like.
I mean, listen, far be it from me to say it, but like Trump's been calling Elizabeth Warren.
Trump's been doing meetings with some of like the far lefties.
And like they've been coming around on some major policy victories for Trump, like capping credit card rates and ending institutional capital of buying homes.
American financing helps you get out of high interest credit card debt.
You should call them today.
They can refinance and repackage your debt into lower rates like the feds fund rates.
And you can get out of that usury rate.
Call today at 888-528-1219.
That's 888-528-1219.
Americanfinancing.net slash Benny.
We also have massive breaking news right now.
Bill Clinton seen in a hot tub live in Congress.
Bill Clinton, I don't know if he's naked, you know, but he is in a hot tub with what is an Epstein victim because you see her face has been blacked out.
Yield to Garcia00:15:46
And then photos of Bill Clinton getting a massage in one of the private airports.
We've got to tune in here.
There's so much going on.
This is Jamie Comer.
This is the Bill Clinton held in contempt of Congress.
And we are doing so to demonstrate to the American people that justice is applied equally to everyone, regardless of position, pedigree, or prestige.
I urge my colleagues to support this contempt report.
I now yield to Ranking Member Garcia for his opening statement.
Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
I want to just make one thing clear.
Oversight Democrats from the start of this investigation have been crystal clear that we're willing to talk to anyone who has information about Jeffrey Epstein and his crimes.
And we don't care if they're wealthy, their position, if they're Democrats or Republicans.
And we agree, subpoenas issued by our committee must always be respected.
No president or former president is above the law.
And I think every single person on this committee agrees with that.
In fact, I appreciate that you brought those posters.
Mr. Comer, can I actually see that?
Would you mind if I actually use that poster that you brought?
The one, the one, the ones that you put up?
What?
Okay, so you're bringing over the Bill Clinton posters in a hot tub.
Bill Clinton getting a master.
I'll put those up in a sec.
This is insane.
Now, this committee from day one, we agree.
We've had questions for former President Clinton.
This is insane.
And as you know, former President Clinton has began answering some of those questions in a signed declaration that this committee has received recently, including last week.
We know that President Clinton has offered to answer additional questions in different formats.
He's also called for a full release of the files immediately, which you or no one in this committee has actually done.
It's interesting that it's this subpoena only that Republicans and the chairman have been obsessed about putting all their energy behind.
Now, we also want President Clinton to answer questions.
In fact, he should continue to answer the questions from this committee, as he has begun doing in not just the signed declaration, but also in other offers to meet with this committee, of which you have rejected.
But it's also incredibly interesting that this energy you have to attack whoever you believe your political opponents are, you are unwilling to use on Ghelain Maxwell, a monster who has trafficked, abused, and raped children and women, and which every committee member and this body knows should be in front of this committee.
Where is the contempt charges to bring her into this committee to answer the questions?
And I hope that you would agree, Mr. Comer, that that should be one of our top priorities.
And let's talk about the president.
Your former colleague, Marjorie Taylor Greene, on this committee reported that Trump told her that he wanted to continue his cover-up because, quote, my friends will get hurt.
Donald Trump is leading a White House cover-up right now of the Epstein files.
And we all know that Epstein himself said that Donald Trump was his best friend for over 10 years.
And it is shameful, illegal, and unconstitutional that the Department of Justice has released 1% of the files.
1% of the files.
Where is the pressure to get Pam Bondi to release the files?
Instead, you are focusing the committee's focus on whoever you perceive to be you, your enemies, and the enemies of Donald Trump.
Because let's be clear: we want to talk to President Bill Clinton.
We want him to answer our questions.
We also want Ghelene Maxwell to answer our questions.
We also want to understand why Pam Bondi refuses to release all the files.
1% of the files have released.
Millions have been left.
No publications for weeks.
That is a crime.
And so this White House cover-up continues every single day that the files are not released.
And yet, where are those calls, Mr. Comer?
You're saying they're complying.
That is both a lie and shameful.
It's time to end this White House cover-up.
I want to yield to ranking member of the Subcommittee on Federal Law Enforcement, Summer Lee, who originally made the motion to subpoena Attorney General Pam Bondi.
Thank you, Mr. Ranking Member.
I just want us to speak plainly and lay the facts out what's really happening in this committee.
We are one week out from Bill and Hillary Clinton, who did not show up for their depositions.
One week, and we're already having a markup to hold them in contempt.
Meanwhile, the Department of Justice has been legally obligated to hand over the full unredacted Epstein files to this committee since August, the same exact subpoena that they are using to hold the Clintons in contempt.
And please note that these resolutions are allowing the DOJ to prosecute the Clintons for the exact same things that the DOJ itself is violating.
They have handed over 1% of the files and heavily redacted.
We are five months overdue, Mr. Coomer of you've made no effort to bring in Pam Bondi.
So no, the difference is not clear.
You have made no effort to demand any answers to exert any pressure.
So with that, Mr. Chair, I do have an amendment at the desk which would hold Pam Bondi in contempt for noncompliance with the bipartisan subpoena that you issued on August 5th, 2025.
I hope that my colleagues will support.
I yield back.
Menories time's expired.
We're still debating the measure, and we'll take up your amendment once we finish debating the initial measure.
I just wanted to respond to a couple of things.
I agree.
We need to hear from Ghelane Maxwell.
We've been trying to get her in for a deposition.
Our lawyers have been saying that she's going to plead the fifth, but we have nailed down a date, February 9th, where Ghelane Maxwell will be deposed by this committee.
Now, her lawyers have made it clear that she's going to plead the fifth.
I hope she changes her mind because I want to hear from her, just like I want to hear.
Bring her.
What's up?
You said the difference is clear.
Turn on your microphone.
It is.
What did you say?
If the difference is clear, the difference here is that they are also trying to negotiate.
She says she doesn't want to do it.
You have not moved in the same way.
So you are actually not applying the same standard here across the board.
The DOJ is in the same exact subpoena.
Glane Maxwell says she won't do it.
Bring her in then.
You're out of order, Ms. Lee.
You're out of order.
So we were going to depose Ghelaine Maxwell, February 9th.
Where are the contempt charges, Mr. Chairman?
You're out of order, too, Mr. Garcia.
And we will proceed with that deposition.
Ms. Lee said the Clintons just missed their deadline by a week.
We have been negotiating with the Clinton attorneys for five months.
Mr. Chairman, five months.
Whose time are we speaking on right now?
This is my time.
This is my time.
I recognize myself.
So I have five minutes.
You already had your five minutes.
Well, I'm about finished anyway.
I haven't used five minutes.
I've used about one minute.
You used your full five minutes, sir.
No, I haven't used the five minutes, Mr. Garcia.
So if any other member seek recognition on the underlying bill, Ms. Lewis.
Hold them in contempt.
So I just, I think this is really important for everyone to get context and also to, I just actually talked to Todd Blanch this morning.
And as we proceed in this committee today, I just, I wanted to give an update, but also to let you all know that Todd Bland Has told me that he's willing to talk to any of you.
And I think it would be very important as we proceed with the seriousness of this investigation, specifically pertaining to Jeffrey Epstein, that there is open dialogue directly with the DOJ.
When I went to move to hold Garland in contempt of Congress, part of the issue was he wasn't even willing to talk to Congress, period, at least not some of the members that were concerned about some of those audio tapes.
But specifically pertaining to the Jeffrey Epstein update.
As of right now, what I've been told by Mr. Blanche is that the files, and I think in total it was over 5 million files, actually have finished review at the DOJ.
They've had 500 attorneys from NSD, the Southern District of Florida, SCNN, Y, and the FBI basically working on this six days a week to get these files appropriately redacted with victim information.
But specifically what the hangup is for the file release is the judge in New York that issued that made the order from the SDNY's prosecutor's office, Jay Clayton, basically certified under oath that there would be a review to protect some of the victim information.
And so that's part of the reason why it not, it has, I guess, been more of a delay.
I do think that this information needs to be released, but it's important to provide context that unless we're going to bring in the judge in New York, which I agree with him.
I do think that there needs to be a proper review of the documents if it's pertaining to victim information.
It's just important to know that context.
But I would be happy to, Garcia, I'd be happy to facilitate that phone call and give you his personal cell phone.
He said he would actually like to talk to all of you guys.
And I would encourage you guys to actually engage in that conversation because I do think this is important.
And then also, too, a last update: I was told, and I've been trying to obtain information of one victim specifically.
If you have victims that specifically want their files, they will actually take those names and get whatever files they can to them.
So some of the Democrats are working with some of the victims.
I'm working with some of them, but it's important to know for context.
So I yield my time.
Very good.
And would you yield a couple of, you've got two minutes left, but I just want to make clear.
Like most everyone on this committee, I do a lot of interviews and I have stated repeatedly publicly on conservative networks, liberal networks, and everything in between that we want the Epstein documents released.
And I appreciate the update from Ms. Luna on the progress.
They have been complying.
We all wish that it was moving much faster, but there's a lot, there are a lot of documents.
And if you'll remember the last document dump that the Department of Justice released, there were many people on this committee on the Democrat side that were very critical saying there weren't enough redactions.
So they are making triple and quadruple sure that the victim's personal information is redacted.
Now, do any other members wish to be heard?
Chair recognizes Mr. Fume.
Mr. Chairman, I yield to the ranking member Garcia.
Thank you.
Thank you, sir.
Representative Luna, I appreciate those statements, but I just want to be clear: that is a lie.
Ladies and gentlemen, we have Congressman Jim Jordan Chairman, Jim Jordan, who is going to be joining us live in this incredible news environment.
I think that this could go on for a very long time, but why not handicap it with the king of oversight, a man who has spent zero time with Bill Clinton in a hot tub?
I can confirm that.
I can confirm it.
All right.
Zero time is the great Chairman Jim Jordan.
Let's go to Jim Jordan live right now.
Congressman, thank you.
Thank you for confirming.
We've been doing our investigation.
Okay.
Our team went out and did interviews with you and your SAF, and we found zero evidence of you on any of Epstein's private jets.
You received zero massages in private airports and spent zero time in marble-lined bathtubs with Jelaine Maxwell.
Yeah.
Very true.
Yeah, very true.
Your friend, Jamie Comer, has those giant poster boards.
If we could get a screenshot of that, that was a wild look of Bill Clinton doing exactly that, yet the Clintons refused to show up.
What does that tell you?
Well, I think you can do that.
If we're going to be able to do our constitutional duty to conduct oversight, you need folks who actually aren't in Congress to comply with congressional subpoenas to come in so we can get the deposit, do the depositions and get the information for the American people.
So I think now, and remember, the Democrats voted for the subpoena to bring in former President Clinton and a bunch of other people as well.
And most of those other people have complied in one way or the other.
So that's the rub here.
I think that, you know, I'd be surprised if the Democrats didn't vote for this in the end, this contempt, but we'll see how it all shakes out today.
But do you believe that the Clintons will be held ultimately in contempt today?
And then what will happen afterward that then kicks it to the DOJ?
Will the DOJ have the guts to go forward and hold it?
Yeah, that'll be up to, you know, there's a vote in the committee, there's a vote on the floor, then there'll be the decision by the Justice Department on how they proceed.
So we'll see how all that shakes out.
But I do think there'll be the votes in committee to make it happen today.
And I think the votes on the floor, what the Justice Department does depends on them.
But this Justice Department's been aggressive in going after people who we believe need to be held accountable, who've done wrong.
I mean, just look at the Minnesota situation, which they're investigating Governor Walls.
It looks like the Attorney General up there, the mayor, they're doing all those investigations and a host of others.
So I've got complete confidence in Attorney General Bonnie, Deputy Attorney General Blanche, and the work that they're doing.
Do you have any insight given your position as to what is about to happen today in Minneapolis, Minnesota?
Our sources tell us that we will be seeing some major arrests under a number of statutes, but the FACE Act, for instance, with potential conspiracy against rights, accelerants to these charges, just like the Biden administration did for these church stormers.
Do you have any insight there?
I don't, but again, I'm confident that the Justice Department's going to do the right thing here.
Whether it's the fraud element or the response that you're getting from the left, the crazy response and what happened in the church on this past Sunday, what's happened out on the streets where ICE agents are getting doxxed, they're getting tracked, they're getting spit on, they're getting attacked with shovels and broomsticks and everything, harassed while they try to enforce federal law.
The only way you stop all that is to hold people accountable who were engaged in illegal activity, hindering the efforts of ICE agents to enforce the law.
So whether it's the fraud, by the way, we have a hearing going on right now in the Judiciary Committee in one of our subcommittees on the fraud issue up there.
We got Nick Shirley testifying as we're talking right now.
And I'm going to jump back into that hearing while also we got this hearing going on, obviously, that you were referencing earlier in the oversight committee with dealing with the Clintons and the contempt issue.
So a lot going on right now in Congress.
It's great to see Republicans actually doing something.
It is remarkable.
There is a considerable amount of fraud that has been uncovered and has been documented in your home state of Ohio, where the second largest population of Somalis live.
Feeding Future Fraud00:07:51
Obviously, we remember the Haitian issue during the 2024 election.
What is going on in Ohio?
How are you going to stop fraud in your own backyard, Congress?
You got to get the facts, just like we're doing with the situation in Minnesota.
There in Minneapolis, you got to get the facts.
One thing the Justice Department has done, which I applaud, is they've designated a specific individual at the Justice Department to be focused on the fraud issue, not only in Minnesota, but in Ohio and everywhere else, California, all across the country.
Because some of the estimates we've heard from Secretary Besant, Treasury Secretary, are this is a huge, huge amount of money, taxpayer money just being stuffed into people's pockets.
I mean, if it's anything like up in Minnesota, in Minnesota, take the program, the Feeding Our Future program.
where they were supposed to be giving meals to children.
There were no kids.
There were no meals.
They were just stuffing the money in their pockets.
And it looks like that was what was happening with these learning centers, these autism centers, these daycare centers, the housing issue.
I mean, it was a number of different federal agencies, your tax dollars, your viewers and listeners' tax dollars, just being taken by these individuals.
And if it's across the country like that, we need a point person like we now have at the Justice Department who's going to be focused on this issue nationwide.
Yeah, excellent.
So you brought up the Feeding Our Future.
This is such a strange series of events.
I had no idea that Ilhan Omar was actually behind the loosening of federal regulations for meals served.
And then lo and behold, Ilhan Omar, who is now married to one of Keith Ellison's top campaign aides and so on, she had all of her friends then start defrauding the federal government after her bill passed.
And I think it's high time that people start looking into Ilhan Omar.
Where did she get all of her funds?
Where did she get $30 million?
How did she profit potentially from some of these scams?
It seems like as soon as she passes a bill, the Somali community is lockstep to take advantage of it and defraud the federal government for hundreds of millions of dollars.
Can you give us an update on investigations into Ilhan Omar?
Well, specific to the Congresswoman, that would take place in the Ethics Committee, which I think is appropriate.
That's the right way to any type of examination of a member should be in the Ethics Committee.
But the broader question is, it looks to me like it wasn't in Minneapolis and in Minnesota.
It wasn't just, oh, we're going to kind of look the other way.
It was also that they were almost assisting in what was going on.
And there were political reasons for doing so.
For example, this program, Feeding Our Future, there was a point where it was actually cut off.
The Department of Education in Minnesota was saying, we're not going to keep passing federal funds on to these, this, this organization.
So they stopped it.
And then a month later, they restarted.
And I asked the question a couple of weeks ago in a hearing here in D.C. I said, why did it restart?
And the answer given from one of the representatives in the Minnesota legislature says there was a threat of a racial discrimination lawsuit.
So they played the race card.
They did what the left typically does.
The left will tell a lie.
We're feeding kids.
Media will report the lie.
Oh, what a great program.
And then when you tell the truth, no kids are getting fed.
They call you a racist.
And that's what they were planning to do and started to do.
And then what did Minnesota, the elected officials and the government do?
They turn the money back.
They turn the spigot back on.
And then the political advantage is because there was a meeting where the attorney general met with some of the leaders in this program.
And a few weeks later, he starts getting campaign contributions to his campaign.
So that's the real angle I think we need to dig into in a broad way with the governor, the mayor, the attorney general, and anybody else.
What is your prediction for what will happen in Minnesota?
I know this is just a heidy cap, but you've been at this for a long time, Congressman.
I think the Justice Department is, I mean, there have already been 50, I think 57 people indicted with the program Feeding Our Future.
The two top people, I think it's Saeed Salim and Amy Bach.
They've been indicted.
They've been convicted.
They're in jail waiting sentencing.
So the Justice Department's already digging into this.
What we need to do is find out how widespread it is.
And then the point person at the Justice Department can go prosecute where appropriate around the country.
Yep.
I mean, obviously, this is something that is, I believe, everywhere across America.
We were just in California, and what we found shocked us.
And we're going to be publishing our investigation very soon here.
But I wanted to just really quickly, before you go, pop up some of this footage from Ohio, Tyler Oliveira.
He's a YouTuber, similar to Nick Shirley, somebody who you should absolutely call into your committee.
He just did an investigation where he went through Columbus, Ohio, and was able to find dozens of fake Somali daycares, get screamed at, yelled at, couldn't enroll his kid.
And it is the same thing with other independent creators here, famous, you know, this famous screaming woman here at whatever this place is.
But this one went viral as well.
So like, this seems to be a major problem also.
Yeah, there you go.
There's the meme.
I know that I know that you have to run, but like, I guess I would like to, since Minnesota is such a blue state, it's hard to find any elected officials that really want to do anything about this.
They're all benefiting from it, whether it's election fraud or whether it's financial, financially.
Ohio is a red state with, you know, with red majorities and famous Republican congressmen like yourselves.
And so I'd just like to, you know, what's going to happen in Ohio?
We need to dig into this all over the country.
Any place, and I think it sort of underscores a basic principle of conservatives and Republicans is when you're throwing this much money, billions and billions of dollars of federal tax dollars, of American hard-earned money, giving it out to these states, there's all kinds of potential for fraud.
So fraud.
So it underscores the fact that we should maybe scale back the size and scope of government and then, of course, investigate when we do send the money out.
Excuse me.
Yeah.
I mean, it'd be nice to see again, Minnesota's a blue state.
Ohio's a red state.
It'd be nice to see like a red red state's cracked out on this stuff, you know, hard and show the path forward.
Thank you very much for your generous time here, Mr. Jeremy.
Good luck.
Good luck in your hand.
bet.
Appreciate all of the members of Congress who join our program and who are ready to make sure that we could elucidate some of the things that are happening inside of our federal government as much as I would like for Jim Jordan to go like.
now is the time for us to go scorched earth.
It is now is the time.
Blood alone moves the wheels of history.
Twite shroot.
Yeah.
But nonetheless, like, you know, the best that you can do on a show like this is to keep going.
Here's, by the way, Jamie Comer, let's just check in really fast on Jamie Comer live now.
Clinton being held in contempt of Congress.
This is the live shot.
Let's just go ahead and hear.
I want to hear the vote if we get the chance.
Judiciary Committee.
So she's going to be in front of the Judiciary Committee.
The next week we're in session.
So I think that's important to note.
Do any other members seek vote?
Mr. Lynch, then.
Yeah, go ahead.
Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
I would remind the gentleman, and I'm sure he knows this, that the Oversight Committee is the principal investigatory committee in the House.

Staff notes are not equivalent.
They've actually transcribed public recording.
Defending Faith Under Attack00:07:42
Gee whiz.
You know, holy moly.
What a bunch of jokers.
I mean, you know, what Democrats are going to do, they're going to like sit there and mule and complain.
But I got to tell you, man, this has been a wild ride.
This has been a wild ride.
I'm really encouraged seeing what I'm seeing.
There are going to be prosecutions today in Minnesota.
And I want to announce on this program right now that we are going to be helping.
We're going to be helping.
There's an incredible pastor named Pastor Jonathan Parnell.
Jonathan Parnell is a man who stood up and defended his Christian flock when a bunch of left-wing orcs and agitators stormed his church, attacked Christian children, and attacked his parishioners.
And we've been covering it today.
I know that this pastor met with the Attorney General last night, and we were able to give him a call as well.
We're going to do some work with this pastor because the way that he comported himself, the way that he behaved, proved what a man of God he truly was.
Please give me the clip if we don't already have it.
I just want to remind you, ah, geez, it's not perfect game.
That's amazing this whole week.
Listen to the way that this pastor defends the faith here in the face of evil.
Here we go.
What do you think of this?
I mean, this is unacceptable.
It's shameful.
It's shameful to interrupt a public gathering of Christians in worship.
But there were folks who also thought, I have to take care of my flock.
Listen, we live in a there's a constitution in the first amendment to freedom of speech and freedom to assemble and protest.
We're here to worship.
We're here to worship Jesus because that's the hope of these cities.
That's the hope of the world is Jesus Christ.
I'm going to be very respectful.
Please don't push me though.
We're here.
We're here to worship Jesus.
That's why we're here.
That's why we're here.
That's what we're about.
We think Jesus would be understanding.
And we're about to love these folks.
We're about spreading the love of Jesus.
And did you try to talk to them?
No one is willing to talk.
Okay.
I have to take care of my church and my family.
So I asked if you actually would also leave this build.
You don't want us to worship.
Let's get here to worship.
I'm always worship.
I'm a Christian.
Well, we're here to worship.
We're here to worship.
Okay.
Thank you very much.
This is Jonathan Parnell.
Jonathan Parnell has not done any media.
He's done this specifically because the church, well, one, because he's a humble man of God and he doesn't want to be seen as taking advantage of a situation or using it for any type of personal benefit, right?
He's gotten requests from every media outlet on planet Earth.
He's a humble man, a father from North Carolina.
He has eight children.
And God called him to Minneapolis to speak the word of God.
And he was attacked for this.
He has a growing and vibrant church, and we are going to help him.
Ladies and gentlemen, with pastor's permission, with the pastor's direct permission, we are announcing for the first time ever, anywhere on this program right now, the official give, send, go for the city's church in Minneapolis.
This is the official gifts and go that 100% of your tax-deductible donation goes to the church to fund security, to reinforce their place of worship, and potential legal battles that they may be facing in the future.
This is a critical act for believers and Christians alike.
We have just published this give send go, the official gifts and go.
100% will go to the church.
It is, again, a 501c3 organization, meaning your donation is tax-deductible, 100% tax-deductible.
I want to read you a statement from the church because the church right now is considering their own potential lawsuits.
And do they have the funds to do that?
Well, most churches don't.
Most churches have very, very thin operating margins, the vast majority of them.
This is the statement from the church that says that they are exploring their own legal options because their children were terrorized on purpose by this mob.
This would be a civil action against the mob that went in and terrified these children.
I want to read to you very quickly here the church statement and tell you that Jonathan Parnell and I did speak last night for approximately one hour and one half hour, and we came to agreement on many things, including the need for Christians to stand up and help in times of attack, which is what's going on right now.
Defenders of the faith arise.
Jesus is real.
When we gathered Sunday morning to worship, we are gladly giving ourselves to what is the most central and sacred in our life together.
We worship Jesus, stretches in the main banner of our church alongside two other pursuits that flow from it.
Loving one another and seeking good in the Twin Cities on Sunday, January 18th, a group of agitators jarringly disrupted our worship gathering.
They accosted members of our congregation, frightened children, created a scene marked by intimidation and threat.
Such conduct is shameful, unlawful, and will not be tolerated.
Invading a church service and to disrupt the worship of Jesus or any other act of worship is protected by the Christian scriptures, the laws of this nation.
We welcome respectful dialogue about present issues and how the realness of Jesus is revealed in the Bible, provides the final answers to the world's most complex and intractable problems.
Jesus Christ, the divine Son of God, lived, died, and rose again, the rescued for all those who have faith in him.
He offers a love that transcends cultures, borders, and politics.
Those who have been loved and rescued by him will not shrink away from worshiping Jesus.
Church buildings are meant to be sacred places of solace where the worshiper can hear and live out this message.
We therefore call on state, local, and national leaders to protect this fundamental right.
We are evaluating next steps with our legal counsel.
You can help make sure that this never happens to a church.
The church that your grandkids attend, the church that you attend, the church that your children attend.
If you're a young person, maybe the church that your future children may attend.
You don't want them looking like this poor young child here up at the very top who's crying and asking for comfort from his father as psychotic, ravenous, rabid, frothing at the mouth, hateful demons go row by row, screaming at them and threatening them.
It's all on tape, by the way.
We have it all on tape in 4K.
Caught these people.
Send a Message Against Evil00:07:07
Help the victory against evil right now.
The link is in the description.
Again, we have just published it seconds ago.
Seconds ago.
This is the official give, send, go for this church.
100% of the tax-deductible proceeds go to the church.
Let's send a message.
Let's send a message that Christendom is united and it stands against evil.
Okay, that's the message that President Trump sent in Davos.
If you are a little late to our program today, we have been live for two hours and 15 minutes because President Trump was right on time this morning at Davos and he had a barn burner completely scorched earth.
Donald Trump rip roaring.
Some of the Davos highlights.
Let's see here.
I don't want to play a ton of long clips.
ALX, these are like relatively short clips.
I don't want to play like tons of long clips, but there are some big, some big high notes here, right?
First off, this is the top line right now at the Daily Mail.
Europe would be speaking German or Japanese, were it not for America.
Way to set the table.
You never heard a president say this before.
Boom, go.
And then after the war, which we won, we won it big.
Without us, right now you'd all be speaking German and a little Japanese, perhaps.
After the war, we gave Greenland back to Denmark.
How stupid were we to do that?
But we did it.
But we gave it back.
But how ungrateful are they now?
So now our country and the world face much greater risks than it did ever before because of missiles, because of nuclear, because of weapons of warfare that I can't even talk about.
Two weeks ago, they saw weapons that nobody ever heard of.
They weren't able to fire one shot at us.
They said, what happened?
Everything was discombobulated.
They said, we've got them in our sights.
Press the trigger and nothing happened.
President Trump confirming that he used sonic weapons in the raid of Maduro, which is awesome.
Do we have that clip, ALX?
Just let me know.
That's the one I would really love to play because Donald Trump is giving major warning signs to the rest of the world, including Canada and France.
Let's play these back-to-back, where President Trump decided to go directly at the Canadian and French leaders and saying, stop effing around.
The find out period is now.
Going to be defending Canada.
Canada gets a lot of freebies from us, by the way.
They should be grateful also, but they're not.
I watched your prime minister yesterday.
He wasn't so grateful.
But they should be grateful to us.
Canada, Canada lives because of the United States.
Remember that, Mark, the next time you make your statements.
Remember that Mark Carney, the next time you make your statements, let's go, Macron.
We want a piece of ice for world protection, and they won't give it.
We've never asked for anything else, and we could have kept that piece of land, and we didn't.
So they have a choice.
You can say yes, and we will be very appreciative.
Or you can say no, and we will remember.
President Trump talking that hard smack at Davos.
You can say no, and we will remember.
We will remember.
Ladies and gentlemen, now the Emmanuel Macron clip.
No stress.
Emmanuel Macron.
I watched him yesterday with those beautiful sunglasses.
Emmanuel, your beautiful sunglasses.
What the heck?
We'll show you that.
We'll show you that in a second.
But I watched him sort of be tough.
But he was at $10 for a pill.
And I said, Emmanuel, and I have all the big pharmaceutical companies are in total agreement.
It wasn't easy, by the way.
They're tough, smart.
They've been getting away with the scam for a long time.
Ladies and gentlemen, the glasses that President Trump is talking about are these Emmanuel Macron glasses.
ALX tells me that he was wearing these glasses because he had eye surgery or whatever.
I think that he's just trying to bring about a new look to try and look tougher.
Didn't work for Joe Biden.
It won't work for you.
You will surrender as France always does to President Trump when it comes to acquiring Greenland.
Shall we acquire Greenland?
Here's President Trump saying, no, no, no, we're taking Greenland.
In 2019, Denmark said that they would spend over $200 million to strengthen Greenland's defenses.
But as you know, they spent less than 1% of that amount.
1%.
There's no sign of Denmark there.
And I say that with great respect for Denmark, whose people I love, whose leaders are very good.
It's the United States alone that can protect this giant mass of land, this giant piece of ice, develop it, and improve it, and make it so that it's good for Europe and safe for Europe and good for us.
And that's the reason I'm seeking immediate negotiations to once again discuss the acquisition of Greenland by the United States, just as we have acquired many other territories throughout our history, as many of the European nations have.
They've acquired, there's nothing wrong with it.
Many of them, some went in reverse, actually.
If you look, some had great, vast wealth, great, vast lands all over the world.
They went in reverse.
They stuck back where they started.
That happens too.
But some grow.
But this would not be a threat to NATO.
This would greatly enhance the security of the entire alliance, the NATO alliance.
I love that President Trump is bringing back the great wars and reminding people what leadership did we have after those wars?
Virtually none.
I mean, they killed the one guy that was trying to create an American empire.
His name was Kennedy.
They put in only cucks and America last apparatchiks.
I don't know why.
I have to assume it's in order to keep America at bay, in order to try and play nice, in order to try and prove that we're not the monsters that you just fought in Europe.
World Economic Forum Flames00:15:42
Sorry, like that's not the way that humanity works.
This isn't the Coca-Cola ad.
This isn't the small world ride at Disney.
The world is a nasty and mean and ugly place, and it punches you hard in the face.
And if you can't punch back, if you can't keep moving forward, if you can't hit back, then you are going to be beat down.
The world has always been like that and will always be like that.
There is no kumbaya.
There is no moment of serenity.
It's always been this way.
Conquer or be conquered. Doesn't mean you have to like light every place on fire and burn it to ashes.
I would be very much in favor of a peace that is brought about by strength.
And that is, of course, what America seeks to do now, what President Trump is seeking to do now.
That strength was on full display.
Here's Donald Trump roasting the front row saying, You won't even look me in the eye.
What a world we're living in right now.
Six or seven places, people in this area, I know all of them.
They're looking down right now.
They don't want to see me.
They don't want to stare me in the eye.
Look at what Trump does here.
He points at world leaders.
He's like, You won't even look at me, you scum, you cowards.
It's time for Europe to admit that the entire new world order has failed.
The post-World War II order failed.
Here's Trump literally pointing out the leaders, saying, You're all, none of you will even look at me.
You know, was looking at Trump?
Gavin Newsome, wild.
Look at this.
Gavin Newsom here looking terrible.
He was just, like, hustling.
He was just, like, hustling.
Gavin Newsom, scared little sheep, standing there, worried about President Trump remaking the world.
That's correct.
Why is Gavin Newsom there at all?
President Trump saying, You called me daddy.
Do we have that clip?
It's pretty funny.
Michelle Obama is going to be on Call Her Daddy show today.
Ooh, all right.
Well, a little on the nose there for Mike.
Yeah, little on the nose.
Call me daddy.
Okay.
Okay, Michelle.
Right.
President Trump saying that you will call me daddy.
Alex Soros is at Davos, slapping the Soros label on Gavin Newsom.
There you go.
There's only one more clip that I want from Trump, and that's Trump on the Somalis.
Okay, great.
Trump went hard in the paint on the Somalis.
Trump went hard in the paint and talked about how, wait a second, just because you were flown over here on a government plane doesn't make you an American.
Well, something that we've been saying for a long time.
We have a culture here.
We are a people.
This isn't some type of like borderless world where every person should just flock anywhere that they want to go and everything's going to be kumbaya.
It doesn't work that way.
Cultures work because they have shared values.
When you bring people here, they have none of your shared values or language or traditions or IQs or a desire to not inbreed, then look it up.
Oh, it's so offensive.
Look it up.
Then, you know, you're going to have a collapsed society.
And so here's President Trump speaking.
This is like the death knell for globalism.
The idea of globalism is the idea that every single culture, there's no, every culture is exactly the same.
There's no culture that's better than another culture.
That you can just take a bunch of people from the third world and dump them into the heart of Western civilization and everything will go fine.
And that's not true.
And there are thousands, if not tens of thousands, of dead and raped Europeans that prove that's not true.
There's a reason why there has to be barriers around the Christmas markets in Germany now.
How's that multi-culti working out for you, Germans?
It's not great.
Destroys your nation.
President Trump saying, We're not going to destroy ours.
Here we go.
The situation in Minnesota reminds us that the West cannot mass import foreign cultures, which have failed to ever build a successful society of their own.
I mean, we're taking people from Somalia, and Somalia is a failed, it's not a nation, got no government, got no police, got no military, got no nothing.
And then we have this fake congressperson who they just reported is worth $30 million.
You believe this?
Elan Omar talking about the Constitution provides me.
She comes from a country that's not a country.
And she's telling us how to run America.
Not going to get away with it much longer, let me tell you.
She comes from a country that's not a country.
All right.
Daddy's home.
Ladies and gentlemen, here it is.
This is the clip.
President Trump saying, you called me daddy.
This is going to be the moment.
And very much acting like daddy at this thing.
10 for 10 from me on the judges' scale.
I got to tell you, that was one of the best Trump speeches ever.
And a fitting conclusion right here.
A few days when I told them about Iceland, they loved me.
They called me Daddy, right?
Last time.
Very smart man said he's our daddy.
He's running it.
I was like running it.
I went from running it to being a terrible human being.
Ladies and gentlemen, Trump just mogging at the World Economic Forum.
We have two really funny clips for you to play for you after we get to our partners here for the show.
I got to tell you, man, this has been a very entertaining morning.
Kind of needed this, right?
Yeah, it's been a dark news cycle, and you love to see the comedy back.
The Secretary of the Treasury just went beast mode on Gavin Newsome.
And then an old flashback of Tucker Carlson versus the World Economic Forum that we just can't help ourselves.
But first, we can't help ourselves in wanting a golden future for this nation.
President Trump predicting some very, very good things ahead for America.
And this is obviously going to mean very good things for gold prices.
Gold prices are at all-time highs right now.
They are breaking all-time highs at this very moment.
There are obviously some booms and some crashes, and that always happens.
But check out the price of gold.
It has been just solid, sound.
Why?
Well, it's held value.
Not for 100 years, not for 1,000 years, for thousands of years.
Physical gold and silver is where smart people are putting their wealth right now.
If you have a 401k IRA or retirement account, you can sit back and watch your investments grow and watch the winnings happen.
Here's how you get started.
Text Advantage Gold.

Yes.
We'll be going to Texas no matter what.
And we're going to Texas on Saturday.
We're going to be speaking in Austin, Texas at a, Alex, do you have some information on that?
I know that Kara has that.
At the Republican Party of Texas.
I'm going to get this right.
The there we go.
Thank you very much.
Oh, we'll be speaking with Jim Jordan.
Okay.
Williamson County Republican Party Golden Age gala.
Perfect timing.
There you go.
We'll be there with Jim Jordan so you can see us live on stage, right?
Yeah, this is great.
President Trump in the background toasting with his water glass, right?
As ever.
President Trump taking us to the great state of Texas.
It's going to be Patriot Mobile.
Patriot Mobile will be traveling with us every step of the way, as they always do.
Patriot Mobile, the only Christian conservative wireless provider.
You know, there's going to be content in Texas.
You know, we're going to be posting.
It's going to be on Saturday.
By the way, thank you to the Williamson County Republican Party.
Golden Age Gala is going to be a blast.
And we're excited to go.
Patriot Mobile will be with us.
It will be a celebration, an opportunity to go through the wins and then to vision cast for the future.
Patriot Mobile helps us do that by making sure that we are locked in and connected everywhere that we go.

Okay, ladies and gentlemen, let's see here.
There it is.
Okay.
Yeah, there you go.
The torching of Gavin Newsom live on stage from the World Economic Forum, courtesy of our great Treasury Secretary, who is ushering in our golden age, which we are going to be celebrating this weekend in Texas.
Here we go.
I think it's very, very ironic that Governor Newsom, who strikes me as Patrick Bateman, meets Sparkle Beach Ken, may be the only Californian who knows less about economics than Kamala Harris.
He's here this week with his billionaire sugar daddy, Alex Soros.
And the Davos is a perfect place for a man who, when everyone else was on lockdown, when he was having people arrested for going to church, he was having $1,000 a night meals at the French laundry.
And I'm sure the California people won't forget that.
And I can tell my message to Governor Newsom is the Trump administration is coming to California.
We are going to crack down on waste, fraud, and abuse.
And I was told he was asked to give a speech on his signature policies, but he's not speaking because what have his economic policies brought?
Outward migration from California, a gigantic budget deficit, the largest homeless population in America, and the poor folks in the Palisades who had their homes burned down.
He is here hobnobbing with the global elite while his California citizens are still homeless.
Shame on him.
He is too smug, too self-absorbed, and too economically illiterate to know anything.
Let me know if you need any further clarification.
Oh my God.
Is that the greatest World Economic Forum roasting ever?
Or is it this one?
Is it Tucker?
Here we go.
Time to check in with our lizard overlords in Davos, Switzerland.
What are they up to?
Yes
Yeah, those people run the world.
They're so impressive.
What a bunch of freaks.
We appreciate your watching so much.
We'll be back tomorrow.
Actually, back Monday, God willing.
Have the best weekend with the ones you love.
We'll see you then.
You miss it.
You miss it.
That was a great medium for Tucker, honestly.
Great medium for Tucker.
I didn't know that the World Economic Forum would be a great medium for Trump.
Trump did announce that he's going to pick a new Fed chair here.
He said at the end of the month, I mean January, February, he says he's going to pick a brand new Fed chair.
Let's go ahead and check the market's response to that because it can mean big things for you.
Let's go.
Okay.
What's the new Fed chair going to be?
Who they gonna be?
What are they gonna look like?
It looks like the markets are saying Kevin Warsh.
Who's Kevin Warsh?
What is that?
And Rick Reeder.
Rick Reeder and Kevin Warsh.
Kevin Warsh over here on his Wikipedia is a member of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors.
Kevin Warsh is, so he's already on the Fed.
He's American financier and big executive.
He served as a member of the Fed Reserve Board since 2016.
Okay, 2006.
Sorry, 2011.
During the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis, Warsh acted as central bank's primary liaison to Wall Street, and he served the Federal Reserve's representative.
Group of 20, G20, and the board's emissary.
So it's like National Council, Economic Council, Hoover Institution.
It's a great institution.
Stanford University, Stanford graduate, advisors to the Congressional Budget Office, very important, former steering committee of the Bilderberg group.
Uh-oh.
Someone call Alex Jones right now.
Warsh reported to the leading candidate, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessett, nominated to succeed Jerome Powell, Federal Reserve.
He's very highly thought of.
He is a Republican.
And he served George W. Bush and Barack Obama, respectively, on the Federal Reserve Board of Governors.
Okay.
He has been married since 2002.
He was born in New York, Albany, 55 years old.
Went to MIT and Stanford and Harvard.
So it's going to be a pretty smart guy.
I went to Kirkwood Community College.
All right.
So, you know, there's that.
But Kevin Warsh seems like the winner here.
Rick Reeder is coming in number two, 25%.
And Christopher Waller at 11%.
Donald Trump At Davos00:02:26
You can do your own research on them.
Okay, that's what they say for the next Federal Reserve Chairman.
It'd be great to get that announcement.
The markets are going to go wild.
Again, President Trump saying that the markets are going to go absolutely ballistic and double in size.
So I guess we'll see.
ALX, should we play this clip of Trump getting off the plane at Davos?
Did he say anything?
This is Donald Trump.
The one clip we didn't get to is President Trump walking off the Marine One.
It's loaded in the back end.
It's loaded there.
And walking up to the press and a little comment, a little commentary here.
Let's talk about it.
We've got Marco Rubio, Suzy Wiles, Caroline Levitt coming off the plane now.
I would imagine, President, maybe next or is any moment here.
Okay.
There's a guy with a computer.
With a computer.
Buying Greenland and Iceland from Denmark.
At one point, they discussed swapping Denmark territory with something they had in the Philippines.
Let's see if the president comes over.
He looks.
He's looking at the cameras.
Dude, I don't know how that guy does it.
He did like, what was it, a three-hour press conference yesterday, Klein?
He flies all night.
Flies all night.
And then he rolls up to Davos and gives another like two-hour scorcher.
Okay.
Let's go ahead and jump in really quickly here with before we end the show.
Let's jump in here really quickly.
Anna Palina Luna is talking.
It looks like they haven't held the Clintons in contempt yet.
Haven't gotten the vote exactly yet.
APL.
But if you're wondering where the files are at, that is the truth of the matter.
That's it.
As soon as those files come out at the DOJ, we're going to get them.
And by the way, I will remind people that were here earlier.
Todd Blanche will get on a phone call with people here.
Defend and Defend00:03:03
And after this, I'm going to go walk over Todd Blanche's cell phone number to Chairman Garcia and to Chairman Comer so they can both get on the call.
I think it's important to open dialogue, okay?
But the point is, is that we have to know the facts, and those are the facts.
So look no further than Judge Paul Engelmeyer.
Again, he's the one person that appointed the Congress.
Great job.
Everyone's handle we have seen thing just fantastically.
Everything's just been great.
Everything's been great on that.
All right.
Let's clean up with a verse of the day here.
Defend the weak and the fatherless uphold the cause of the poor and the oppressed.
Psalms 82.3.
I want to send a message with our give, send, go to help this church.
I want to send a message that Christians are strong, that we defend each other, and that we are able to make a difference in this world for those who are in need.
Right now, there's already been 42 donations.
Look at that.
Almost $2,000 raised.
Well, there you go.
We're going to make a difference.
We are going to protect and defend our fellow Christians.
Ladies and gentlemen, give, send, to go, City's church.
Thank you so much for tuning in today.
Remember, march with us.
In the end, we will win.
See ya.
Your keys, your gold, your life, your kingdom.
Tearing down the barrel is a prize for doing freedom.
Guess what?
Guess what?
Everything will be okay.
Guess one day.
One day it's home day.
The biggest ships in the sea, all owned by the oldest kings.
And the dying legacy, media delays.
Soon will the penny show come to mind the salt from lives for fun.
Be the gold and bring the gun.
We sail for number one, come to mind the salt from lids for fun.
