=== The Sad One at Dover (01:36) ===

[00:00:00]  Don't understand the different terms.
[00:00:02]  It was where they planned bombs and roads.
[00:00:04]  As you drive by, happily drive by, the bomb goes off, and no matter how strong the armament, it just kills the people.
[00:00:11]  Or you lose your arms, legs, and face.
[00:00:14]  And those bombs got worse and worse.
[00:00:16]  And he got happier and happier.
[00:00:18]  We took him out.
[00:00:19]  That was a big thing, because he was the head.
[00:00:21]  It might have been a much different story.
[00:00:23]  They may have been much more capable than they are.
[00:00:25]  had he lived because he was capable.
[00:00:27]  He was vicious, violent, and capable.
[00:00:30]  But we got rid of him first term.
[00:00:33]  And we did so many things.
[00:00:34]  I mean, we've done so many things.
[00:00:37]  But as you know, on Saturday, I traveled to Dover Air Force Base to be with the families of six fallen warriors as they returned to American soil.
[00:00:48]  And I know that everyone in this room joins me in sending our prayers and eternal gratitude to the people.
[00:00:53]  One thing the president addressed the Republican Conference at Doral.
[00:00:58]  We will continue this life coverage until completed.
[00:01:01]  The hardest thing to do is to go to Dover, because Dover is where, for the most part, a lot of the fallen, the warriors, the great young people that have died in war, they seem to mostly go to Dover.
[00:01:16]  They come home to Dover.
[00:01:18]  Dover does a great job of handling things.
[00:01:21]  They have men assigned to the family.
[00:01:22]  They have men and women that are incredible assigned to the families.
[00:01:26]  It's a beautiful thing, but it's also a very sad thing.
[00:01:30]  But they all said one thing to me, make sure you win, sir.
[00:01:34]  Make sure you win.

=== Dover's Fallen Warriors (05:45) ===

[00:01:36]  They weren't playing games.
[00:01:40]  We want to make sure.
[00:01:41]  They said it.
[00:01:42]  Everybody said it.
[00:01:43]  They were separate.
[00:01:45]  But everybody said the same thing.
[00:01:46]  Make sure you win.
[00:01:47]  We will.
[00:01:49]  We've already won in many ways, but we haven't won enough.
[00:01:53]  We go forward more determined than ever to achieve ultimate victory that will end this long-running danger once and for all.
[00:02:00]  47 years.
[00:02:01]  It should have been done a long time ago.
[00:02:04]  The world would have been a different place had some president had the courage to go and do it.
[00:02:08]  They should have done it many, many times.
[00:02:10]  They had many opportunities.
[00:02:11]  The United States of America is the greatest and most exceptional nation in human history and will not be threatened by evil terrorists and lunatics any longer.
[00:02:21]  We just can't do that.
[00:02:22]  And you know, when I always talk about how great our nation is, I don't know, I don't consider our nation very great for four years under Biden.
[00:02:29]  We were a laughing stock all over the world.
[00:02:31]  We were a laughingstock.
[00:02:33]  So, you know, I say great, great, great, but I don't know, when you look at what happened with so many different things, the open border, 25 million people, many of them very bad people pouring into our country with open borders that just said, come on in, come on in, makes no difference.
[00:02:50]  They emptied their jails into our country.
[00:02:54]  11,888 murders, 50% of which murdered more than one person.
[00:03:01]  The drug dealers came in.
[00:03:03]  The mentally insane came in.
[00:03:05]  They emptied their mental institutions.
[00:03:08]  They emptied their insane asylum.
[00:03:09]  That's a step above a mental institution.
[00:03:13]  They emptied them all right into our country.
[00:03:16]  And we've done a great job of doing what we've done.
[00:03:19]  Think of it.
[00:03:20]  We have the lowest crime rate.
[00:03:22]  That we've ever had.
[00:03:23]  We have the lowest murder rate in 125 years.
[00:03:26]  And we're saddled with all of the problems of the criminals that were let in.
[00:03:32]  You know, look, they're smart people.
[00:03:34]  I know the people that run those countries, every one of them.
[00:03:37]  And they're all street-wise, very smart.
[00:03:40]  And I would do exactly the same thing.
[00:03:43]  They emptied their jails into our country.
[00:03:45]  I said that was going to happen when I heard that they were having open borders.
[00:03:48]  I didn't believe that they were going to have it.
[00:03:49]  When I realized that they actually were going to have open borders, I said, we're going to have every person in jail.
[00:03:54]  We're going to have every drug dealer.
[00:03:56]  We're going to have all these countries all over the world.
[00:03:58]  The Congo, they emptied their jails all the way from the Congo to all parts of South America, Asia.
[00:04:06]  They sent in their people in jail, murderers.
[00:04:11]  Some of the worst people on earth got sent into our country.
[00:04:14]  And I'll tell you what, ICE is unbelievable what they have to put up with and how tough they have to be.
[00:04:21]  That goes for Border Patrol, and it goes for law enforcement, our law enforcement people.
[00:04:26]  But sadly, even as our service members are fighting bravely to protect America abroad, the Democrat minority in Congress is deliberately sabotaging our national security at home.
[00:04:39]  And you're going through it right now, fellas.
[00:04:41]  I mean, you're going through, it's not even believable.
[00:04:43]  You know, we should be very safe right now, especially when we're attacking somebody that's evil, bad intention.
[00:04:51]  But last week, 53 House Democrats voted against the resolution affirming that Iran remains the world's number one state sponsor of terror.
[00:05:00]  How would the hell would do that?
[00:05:01]  I mean, almost every act, whether it's Hamas or Hezbollah, no matter what, you take a look, it's Iran or Iran sponsored.
[00:05:12]  And even more outrageously as we speak, Democrats have shut down the Department of Homeland Security.
[00:05:17]  They've got it shut down, do you believe it?
[00:05:19]  Right now.
[00:05:21]  Because they care more about amnesty for illegal alien criminals than about protecting the lives of American similar series.
[00:05:28]  I mean, take a look at it.
[00:05:29]  The American citizen is being scoffed at by Democrats.
[00:05:36]  It doesn't make sense.
[00:05:37]  None of their stuff makes sense to me.
[00:05:40]  When they sat and they wouldn't stand up for incredible people, they just refused to clap, stand up.
[00:05:48]  By the end of the speech, by the way, they were all standing because somebody was passing.
[00:05:51]  No, you people are getting killed tonight.
[00:05:54]  They'd stand up for everything I was saying.
[00:05:56]  At the end, that last half hour, they were standing up for things that they shouldn't have stood up for because they got the word, you're getting killed tonight.
[00:06:03]  Stand up and clap for the woman that just lost her daughter, please, to a violent criminal.
[00:06:10]  But Democrats must vote immediately to reopen the Department of Homeland Security so that we have the resources to keep America safe.
[00:06:24]  And under our pro-America, pro-worker, pro-family agenda, our country is winning again and America is respected again.
[00:06:32]  And I think we have a country that's as hot as it's ever been ever before, maybe hotter.
[00:06:38]  And I say it all the time.
[00:06:40]  The king of Saudi Arabia said it to me better than anybody could say it.
[00:06:43]  He said, you know, I'll get along with him very well, very smart person.
[00:06:48]  He said, you know, a year and a half ago, your country was dead, absolutely dead.
[00:06:55]  We never thought it was coming back.
[00:06:57]  And now you have the hottest country anywhere in the world.
[00:07:00]  We're the hottest country anywhere in the world by far.
[00:07:04]  And that's before we showed off our military strength with Venezuela and now with Iran.
[00:07:10]  You know, Iran was supposed to be this big, powerful country.
[00:07:12]  We wrapped the hell out of them.
[00:07:15]  And, you know, I don't know when they cry, uncle, but they should have cried it two days ago, right?

=== Military Strength and Economic Surge (03:15) ===

[00:07:22]  But they don't have anything left.
[00:07:25]  In our country, inflation is plummeting.
[00:07:28]  Incomes are rising.
[00:07:29]  The economy is surging.
[00:07:30]  Our border is the most secure at any time in American history.
[00:07:34]  And the murder rate is the lowest in 125 years.
[00:07:37]  That's before my father was born.
[00:07:39]  My father was born six years later than that.
[00:07:42]  I don't know if he'd like me to say that.
[00:07:44]  Never like to talk about his age.
[00:07:45]  He said, don't talk about that.
[00:07:47]  But think about 125 years ago, 1900, the year 1900, the stock market is at 53 all-time record highs since the election.
[00:07:57]  And it's going to go a lot higher as soon as we get rid of this stuff that we're doing right now, that we really had no choice.
[00:08:04]  I mean, I think I asked people, I said, would you rather do this?
[00:08:07]  Would you rather go along nice and smoothly, but eventually have a catastrophe the likes of which perhaps the world has never seen?
[00:08:14]  And just about everybody says, except for lunatics, that no, you had to get it done.
[00:08:20]  Should have been done a long time ago.
[00:08:22]  The average 401k is up almost $35,000.
[00:08:26]  Think of that.
[00:08:27]  It's at the best they've ever done.
[00:08:30]  And I think you're going to see some real numbers when this gets, because this was always a dark cloud hanging over not only Israel, which was going to get wiped out.
[00:08:38]  You know, if we didn't do that B-2 attack, Israel would have been wiped out.
[00:08:41]  They would have had a nuclear weapon within two weeks after that.
[00:08:45]  And even now, I think they were looking to take over the Middle East because when you look, and we have pretty good proof, all of those missiles that were so stupidly aimed at Qatar, Saudi Arabia, UAE, they were all aimed, and others, at countries that were sort of like, leave us alone.
[00:09:03]  They were all right.
[00:09:04]  They were sort of neutral.
[00:09:07]  But they weren't doing it.
[00:09:08]  All of a sudden, they're getting hit with missiles.
[00:09:11]  And they could have gone one of two ways.
[00:09:13]  They could have gone toward their side, like we're with you, or they could have gone with our side.
[00:09:17]  And they really went with our side.
[00:09:19]  And they've helped us, and they've been a big force.
[00:09:22]  But they got hit.
[00:09:23]  But they were going to be hit with us.
[00:09:25]  Had we not done the B-2 raid, and have we not done this one where we said, yep, it's time to go in.
[00:09:31]  We have to go in.
[00:09:32]  Have no choice.
[00:09:33]  Number one, if we didn't go in, they would have come in after us because I see the Democrats trying to justify it.
[00:09:40]  And they're failing because the voter on the street is saying it.
[00:09:43]  You've got to be kidding.
[00:09:44]  But I see where they're always saying, no, no, there was no reason.
[00:09:48]  Well, I'll give you the best reason of all.
[00:09:50]  Within a week, they were going to attack us 100%.
[00:09:54]  They were ready.
[00:09:54]  They had all these missiles, far more than anyone thought.
[00:09:58]  And they were going to attack us.
[00:09:59]  But they were going to attack all of the Middle East and Israel.
[00:10:03]  And if they had a nuclear weapon, they would have used it on Israel.
[00:10:06]  And this was going to be a major attack.
[00:10:08]  They had all of those missile sites and all those launches that we got rid of, about 80% of them right now, by the way.
[00:10:15]  Got rid of most of the, you know, see, it's died down to a trickle.
[00:10:19]  They have very few launches left.
[00:10:21]  What our military has done is amazing.
[00:10:23]  They wiped out almost 20%, maybe 22%, 23%, but the rest are going very quickly.
[00:10:31]  And the missiles have been largely knocked out.
[00:10:34]  The drones have been knocked down and we're hitting where they make the drones.

=== Knocking Out Drone Factories (02:12) ===

[00:10:37]  We know them all.
[00:10:38]  And we're knocking the hell out of that now where they manufacture the drones.
[00:10:42]  A lot of work, a lot of brilliant work, but we're going to have a much safer world as soon as it's finished.
[00:10:48]  And it's going to be finished pretty quickly.
[00:10:50]  With the help of our House Republican majority, we passed the largest tax cuts in American history.
[00:10:56]  We have to keep talking about it.
[00:11:01]  And with the great big beautiful bill, we delivered no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, and no tax on Social Security for our great seniors.
[00:11:12]  And we did something else which is great that nobody ever talks about, Tom, and we have to talk about it.
[00:11:18]  We made interest on auto loans fully deductible.
[00:11:21]  That's never happened.
[00:11:23]  We've never had that.
[00:11:24]  You know, rich people always get deductions, but middle-income people, people that have to struggle a little bit never did, but now they can deduct the interest paid against their taxes.
[00:11:36]  We have one little proviso, and I put this on, it's very important.
[00:11:39]  Only if the car is made in America.
[00:11:43]  That's going to have a huge impact.
[00:11:45]  That's going to have a huge impact.
[00:11:47]  He passed the Trump accounts to give every child in America a head start on the American dream.
[00:11:53]  And that's so good.
[00:11:54]  It was, I'll tell you, the Dell family, Dell computer, put up $6,250,000,000.
[00:12:06]  Think of it.
[00:12:07]  Started with very little, nothing, very little.
[00:12:11]  Started making computers on his bed.
[00:12:14]  And he said, yeah, people started liking them better than the ones from the store.
[00:12:19]  And he never stopped.
[00:12:21]  And he can write a check for $6,250,000,000.
[00:12:25]  He said, and his incredible wife, Susan, they said that's the best thing they've ever done.
[00:12:31]  He's so proud.
[00:12:32]  He's going to do it again.
[00:12:33]  Going to do more.
[00:12:35]  And we have a lot of other people.
[00:12:36]  A lot of very rich people are doing it.
[00:12:37]  A lot of people that aren't so rich are doing it.
[00:12:40]  They're doing it for their kids, but it's turning out.
[00:12:42]  So a young child turns 18 or 21, and all of a sudden they have $100,000 in the bank.

=== High Prices and Drug Costs (10:54) ===

[00:12:50]  What a difference that is between having that and having nothing.
[00:12:53]  And it could be more than that.
[00:12:54]  It could be a lot more, depending on what happens with the world.
[00:12:58]  And we passed 100% expensing and bonus depreciation and all new equipment, factory construction and investments, and that's what made our first term.
[00:13:07]  We had the greatest economy in the history of our country in the first term.
[00:13:11]  And this one's going to blow it away.
[00:13:13]  Again, we had a little pause, but it's not a very big pause.
[00:13:18]  With your help, we also passed the largest regulation cuts in American history, ending the Green News scam, one of the greatest scams in history, and massively increasing production of American oil, natural gas, and clean, beautiful coal.
[00:13:33]  We brought coal back.
[00:13:34]  You're not allowed to say coal without clean, beautiful.
[00:13:38]  Got to be clean, beautiful.
[00:13:40]  China uses coal.
[00:13:42]  They're building about 65 massive coal plants right now.
[00:13:46]  But China, great respect for China, but you know, they make all the windmills, right?
[00:13:50]  The only thing they don't do is use the windmills.
[00:13:52]  They make them.
[00:13:54]  But try finding wind farms in China.
[00:13:56]  There aren't too many of them.
[00:13:58]  In my State of the Union address, I laid out an ambitious agenda that should be our roadmap this year.
[00:14:06]  And it's starting with lowering the cost of living.
[00:14:09]  You know, they gave us a mess.
[00:14:10]  We inherited a mess, an absolute mess.
[00:14:13]  And the mess was many things.
[00:14:16]  They were bad with our military.
[00:14:19]  They were bad with everything.
[00:14:21]  I mean, I said, name one thing that they did right.
[00:14:24]  They can't name one thing.
[00:14:26]  But they also gave us very high prices.
[00:14:29]  And then they said the word affordability.
[00:14:32]  That's the first time I ever heard it.
[00:14:33]  They said affordability.
[00:14:34]  My first day in office, they said affordability.
[00:14:37]  They're the ones that caused the problem, but we're really bringing down prices big.
[00:14:41]  Do you notice you don't hear that word anymore, Mike?
[00:14:44]  They don't say it anymore because we brought down prices so much.
[00:14:48]  So our message is simple.
[00:14:50]  Democrats created the high prices, and our policies are totally ending them.
[00:14:55]  And they're ended, and we're doing better.
[00:14:57]  We're even bringing them down further.
[00:14:59]  They'll be way down.
[00:15:01]  And we're bringing, you know, if you go back into the last period, I would say, I think it's two and a half months, 1.7% inflation.
[00:15:12]  Three months, 1.45% inflation.
[00:15:16]  Think of that.
[00:15:17]  Whereas they had the highest inflation in the history, the single highest inflation in the history of our country.
[00:15:23]  Now, you know, I always say this.
[00:15:25]  They say 48 years because I don't want the fake news to get me on this.
[00:15:29]  They say it wasn't history, it was 48 years, that the inflation was the highest in 48 years.
[00:15:34]  But I don't know, in some ways, 48 years sounds even worse because it's very specific.
[00:15:39]  But they had the highest inflation probably in history, but in 48 years, we inherited that.
[00:15:45]  One of the first targets must be the crushing health care.
[00:15:50]  We have to crush the and take over the health care situation, which we can do.
[00:15:55]  For the first time, we can do it since the passage of the Unaffordable Care Act.
[00:16:01]  Big insurance companies have gotten rich.
[00:16:03]  They've made money like practically no other companies have made, with our government giving them hundreds of billions of dollars and their stock prices soaring to up to 1,700%, 1,000%, 1,200%, 1,600%, and even 1,700%.
[00:16:24]  The government gave them essentially trillions of dollars.
[00:16:30]  And I want that money to be paid to the person, not to the insurance company, and let them go out and buy their own health care.
[00:16:38]  And people love it.
[00:16:40]  People love it.
[00:16:42]  You'll get better health care at a much lower cost.
[00:16:44]  And they'll be sort of part of the system.
[00:16:48]  But the money we spend is so much.
[00:16:50]  We spend numbers that nobody could even believe.
[00:16:54]  But the healthcare companies, because the Democrats are owned by the insurance companies, remember that.
[00:16:59]  And so they have a problem.
[00:17:01]  That's why it's hard to get it fixed because they are totally owned and controlled by the healthcare, by the insurance companies, healthcare insurance, but the insurance companies themselves.
[00:17:14]  So when you want to do something that's good for the people but bad for the insurance companies, it's very, very hard for them to go in in a different way.
[00:17:24]  Now, Republicans never do that kind of thing, right?
[00:17:27]  You're owned by nobody, right?
[00:17:29]  Nobody.
[00:17:29]  See, young girl up here say, yes.
[00:17:32]  Some of them are a little bit shaky, but they're Republicans.
[00:17:36]  We love them.
[00:17:37]  We love them anyway, right, Mike?
[00:17:39]  But they are owned by those big, powerful insurance companies that are making a fortune, and it's hard to get them to do the right thing.
[00:17:47]  They know what the right thing is.
[00:17:48]  So we want the money to be paid directly to the people and let the people go out and buy their own health care.
[00:17:55]  And people love it.
[00:17:57]  They love it.
[00:17:58]  We can own the issue.
[00:18:00]  For the first time ever, Republicans can own that issue.
[00:18:04]  I'm also asking you to take swift action to codify my most favored nation policy on drug prices, the biggest.
[00:18:13]  That alone should win the midterms.
[00:18:16]  We have, and I tell this story all the time, my first term, third year, I actually had a slight, it was one quarter of 1% decline in drug price.
[00:18:26]  First time in 28 years, I was so proud.
[00:18:28]  I went home, told our great first lady, who's now a movie star.
[00:18:31]  I got the biggest, can you believe that?
[00:18:33]  That movie was hot.
[00:18:36]  And it is hot.
[00:18:37]  She became a movie star.
[00:18:41]  It was a good movie.
[00:18:43]  But I went home and I said, you know, it's amazing.
[00:18:47]  We do so well.
[00:18:48]  We work so hard.
[00:18:49]  This issue is the single biggest issue.
[00:18:54]  Okay.
[00:18:56]  I had a news conference.
[00:18:58]  I'm embarrassed to say, a long time ago, my first term, third year, because I went up to a level that nobody's, I did things that nobody's ever done.
[00:19:10]  28 years I brought it down one quarter of 1%.
[00:19:14]  Now I brought it down 80%, 90%, 75%, depending the way on, you know, it's driving the fake news crazy because I say 400%, 500%, 600%, depending on the way you want to talk about it, if you want to talk about pricing.
[00:19:31]  But using a conservative number, what we've done is we paid the highest price for drugs anywhere in the world, and now we pay the lowest price for drugs anywhere in the world.
[00:19:43]  We are tied for the lowest price.
[00:19:46]  Whoever has the lowest price, that's what we pay.
[00:19:50]  And I did that through tariffs.
[00:19:52]  We had a little disappointing decision, to put it mildly, from the Supreme Court.
[00:19:58]  Terrible decision for the people.
[00:20:00]  But the good news is I have lots of other ways of doing the same thing.
[00:20:03]  I just have to work a little harder.
[00:20:04]  They want me to work harder, but we're doing the same thing with a lot of work.
[00:20:09]  But I used tariffs to get this because I went to other countries.
[00:20:14]  The drug companies were not easy, but I got them.
[00:20:17]  I said, we're not paying.
[00:20:18]  We were paying for a pill $130 that in London and Germany and different places you'd pay $10.
[00:20:26]  So we were paying 13 times more.
[00:20:29]  They're paying $10, we're paying $130.
[00:20:32]  And the drug companies, I called them in.
[00:20:34]  We had a rough time, but it wasn't that bad.
[00:20:36]  And they agreed because they knew that I couldn't get the countries.
[00:20:40]  You had to get the countries to approve it.
[00:20:42]  And I called up, and you've heard me say this a couple of times, not often, but I called the countries up.
[00:20:48]  I called up France.
[00:20:50]  I said, Emmanuel, you have to cut your good friends from America a reasonable deal.
[00:20:57]  What's happening is you are paying a tiny fraction for drugs.
[00:21:01]  No, no, Donald, I cannot do anything about that.
[00:21:03]  I said, you can, you can.
[00:21:05]  He said, no, no, I will not do it.
[00:21:07]  I will not do it.
[00:21:08]  Because he'd have to raise his pill from $10 to $20 and maybe even $30.
[00:21:12]  Ours would come down from $13, $130 down to $20.
[00:21:18]  Think of that.
[00:21:19]  From $130.
[00:21:20]  That's what you're going to get.
[00:21:21]  From $130 to $20.
[00:21:23]  But he has to double his price from $10, and they were the boss.
[00:21:27]  I said, no, no, you will.
[00:21:28]  No, Donald, Donald.
[00:21:30]  I cannot do that.
[00:21:32]  And I heard this from all the other countries too, very elegant people.
[00:21:35]  And they were saying, no, no, no, we cannot do this.
[00:21:37]  We will not do this.
[00:21:38]  I said, yes, you will.
[00:21:39]  100%.
[00:21:40]  No, no, we will not.
[00:21:42]  Because, you know, they have to double up their prices.
[00:21:45]  And I said, well, here's the story.
[00:21:46]  If you don't do it, I'm going to put, in the case of Emmanuel, I said a 100% tariff on all wines and champagnes coming into the United States.
[00:21:55]  No, no, Donald, you cannot do that.
[00:21:57]  I said, I've already got the legislation.
[00:22:00]  It's right in front of my desk.
[00:22:01]  I'm going to sign it.
[00:22:03]  Emmanuel, he said, Donald, I will agree to this.
[00:22:08]  So he agreed.
[00:22:09]  Everybody agreed.
[00:22:10]  I got every country to agree.
[00:22:12]  And now you've done something that no other president could have done.
[00:22:17]  No one, I don't want to brag, but you know, they've said this about a lot of things.
[00:22:21]  No other president could do some of the I'm doing.
[00:22:26]  No other president.
[00:22:28]  The things I'm doing, nobody else was going to do it.
[00:22:32]  I say, they say it all the time, sir, could you do this?
[00:22:35]  You're the only one who could do it.
[00:22:36]  But we got it done and we got the countries to all go along.
[00:22:41]  Because I said, if you don't do it, I'm going to raise your tariffs to 200% to 150%.
[00:22:47]  And that's 10 times more than I'm asking for.
[00:22:50]  And every single one, if it took me five minutes, that was like a long time.
[00:22:55]  I was doing badly with that one.
[00:22:57]  So now we have most favored nation pricing into permanent law, and you should codify it.
[00:23:03]  But I don't care that much about codifying it because what politician is going to agree to increase drug prices by 500%, okay?
[00:23:12]  So, but it's still good to have it codified.
[00:23:14]  Don't you agree?
[00:23:15]  You know, they're saying, sir, we have to codify it.
[00:23:17]  I said, that's okay, but I'm not.
[00:23:19]  Other things you should codify.
[00:23:21]  That I can tell you.
[00:23:22]  This one, you should codify because you want to take credit for it.
[00:23:26]  You want to take credit for it.
[00:23:27]  So if you can, please codify it.
[00:23:30]  Get out there and codify.
[00:23:32]  You're getting an 80%, 85%, 55%, 70% reduction in drug prices.
[00:23:40]  Codify it.
[00:23:41]  But if you don't, no president's going to raise it, in my opinion.

=== Codify Mail Ballot Exceptions (15:47) ===

[00:23:44]  Although they are crazy, you know, these people are crazy.
[00:23:46]  They could find a way.
[00:23:48]  You better get it codified.
[00:23:50]  And as we work to bring down interest rates so that more Americans afford a house, I'm also asking you to ban the Wall Street firms, large World Street firms, institutional investors from buying up thousands and thousands of single-family homes, hundreds of thousands of homes, because homes really are for people, not for hedge funds.
[00:24:15]  We want to get the market out so they can do it, and we're stopping it.
[00:24:21]  We want people to be able to buy a house.
[00:24:22]  It's the American dream.
[00:24:24]  Buying a house is a part of the American dream.
[00:24:29]  And we must also stand up for the safety of our citizens.
[00:24:33]  One of my guests at the State of the Union was Anya Zarutska, the mother of a beautiful 23-year-old Ukrainian girl who was stabbed to death on a train in North Carolina by a deranged criminal, arrested more than a dozen times.
[00:24:49]  And I had the mother, as you know, at the State of the Union, and she was devastated.
[00:24:56]  Beautiful woman, devastated, uncontrollably devastated.
[00:25:01]  And we couldn't get one Democrat to even clap.
[00:25:07]  The Republicans clapped and went wild, and they loved her.
[00:25:10]  Not one Democrat in that whole room even thought about clapping.
[00:25:16]  They sat there frozen-faced, disgusting.
[00:25:19]  House Republicans should get every member of Congress on record and pass a tough new crime bill that imposes harsh penalties for dangerous repeat offenders, which just nut was, cracks down on rogue judges and prosecutors, and ends no cash bail once and for no cash bail is a big part.
[00:25:38]  I mean, you have a man murder somebody, and by that afternoon he's out on bail.
[00:25:44]  No cash bail.
[00:25:45]  It's a huge, a huge problem.
[00:25:48]  We also need to end deadly sanctuary cities, and you have bills before you now, and you're working on things, but hopefully you can do that, Mike.
[00:25:56]  Because it's terrible.
[00:25:57]  They're sanctuary for criminals.
[00:25:59]  That's all they are.
[00:26:00]  Sanctuary for criminals.
[00:26:01]  They fight ICE all the time.
[00:26:02]  That was a problem up in Minnesota.
[00:26:04]  They had a lot of criminals in there.
[00:26:06]  They wouldn't give it to us.
[00:26:07]  And to stop illegal aliens who cannot even speak English from driving 18-wheel tractor trailers, they have no idea what they're reading.
[00:26:16]  I wouldn't be able to do it in their countries.
[00:26:18]  It has arrows, it has speed limits.
[00:26:20]  They have no idea what they're reading.
[00:26:23]  And in many cases, they're on drugs on top of that.
[00:26:26]  We need to ban any state from granting commercial driver's licenses to illegal aliens.
[00:26:36]  And I want to thank House Republicans for passing another common sense measure.
[00:26:41]  I would think it's the easiest thing.
[00:26:43]  I just told Mike, you know, you were at $19 million.
[00:26:48]  I have to say this because I've never contributed.
[00:26:50]  I was a huge contributor for years and years.
[00:26:52]  Once I became president, I never contributed any money because the greatest thing about being president is I no longer have to contribute.
[00:26:59]  Nobody ever asked me for money.
[00:27:00]  They asked me for my endorsement.
[00:27:02]  I've endorsed just about everybody in the room.
[00:27:05]  But keep winning, right?
[00:27:08]  124-0 this Tuesday.
[00:27:11]  124 wins, no losses.
[00:27:13]  Is that good?
[00:27:14]  And there were some rebels.
[00:27:16]  We endorsed a few rebels, right?
[00:27:18]  A few that Mike was saying.
[00:27:20]  That's going to be a tough one.
[00:27:21]  But we're 124-0.
[00:27:23]  But as president, nobody ever asked me for money.
[00:27:28]  And as president, you know, like as president, you sort of don't make campaign contributions.
[00:27:33]  But I heard you were at $19 million today.
[00:27:37]  I said, has that ever been done?
[00:27:38]  No, sir.
[00:27:38]  It's a record.
[00:27:39]  But 20 would sound better, right, Mike?
[00:27:41]  Yes.
[00:27:41]  He said, I'm going to give you $1 million.
[00:27:43]  It's the first time I've done that.
[00:27:49]  I never did it before.
[00:27:58]  I never did it before.
[00:28:00]  Now I'll be hit up by every political group, every Republican running.
[00:28:04]  Sir, can I have some give me a little cash?
[00:28:07]  I'll have Emery come up to me and say, How about a little cash for my campaign?
[00:28:11]  I will no longer have the excuse that as president, anyway, no, but we had to hit the 20, right?
[00:28:17]  We had to hit the 20.
[00:28:18]  That was a hell of a thing.
[00:28:19]  You beat it by a lot.
[00:28:20]  You beat the record, the previous record, by a lot.
[00:28:23]  But I want to thank House Republicans for passing another common sense measure, to me, the easiest of all, the Save America Act, to protect our sacred American group.
[00:28:35]  Look at this.
[00:28:41]  Look, it's the easiest thing we have.
[00:28:49]  I can't, ah, it's the easiest thing we have.
[00:28:54]  Now, the problem is you call it the Save Act, and nobody knew what the hell the SAVE Act.
[00:28:59]  Have you been seeing?
[00:28:59]  I've been working overtime the last month.
[00:29:01]  It's called the capital, the Save America Act.
[00:29:07]  And I saw Schumer yesterday, we will stop Save America.
[00:29:12]  He's getting killed.
[00:29:14]  They can't do it.
[00:29:15]  And then the things within the Save America are so good.
[00:29:18]  But just the title.
[00:29:19]  So we had that with MAGA, greatest name of all time, Make America Great Again.
[00:29:23]  MAGA.
[00:29:24]  It just worked.
[00:29:25]  You know, I had something, keep America great.
[00:29:30]  It was good, but it didn't have that MAGA.
[00:29:33]  You know, there was nothing you could see.
[00:29:35]  I had CAG, CAG.
[00:29:39]  And CAG, I said, you know, no longer, that's not good.
[00:29:43]  But MAGA is great.
[00:29:44]  And we'll always respect MAGA.
[00:29:46]  We love MAGA.
[00:29:47]  We're never going to let you down with MAGA.
[00:29:49]  But this one's even better if you think about it.
[00:29:52]  This says, America, we're going to save America.
[00:29:57]  The Save America.
[00:30:00]  How can they fight us?
[00:30:01]  The Save America Act.
[00:30:03]  And I've watched them.
[00:30:04]  I watched Schumer, who's horrible.
[00:30:05]  What a horrible politician.
[00:30:07]  He is now a Palestinian officially.
[00:30:10]  He is registered as a Palestinian.
[00:30:12]  He's a proud.
[00:30:14]  He's taken the biggest turn of any human being I've ever seen.
[00:30:18]  He's gone from totally pro-Israel to totally pro-Palestinian.
[00:30:24]  He wants to protect the Iranian people that are quite nasty.
[00:30:29]  But it's very simple.
[00:30:30]  All voters must show the act voter ID.
[00:30:34]  Ready?
[00:30:35]  This is not complicated.
[00:30:37]  Voter identification.
[00:30:38]  Now, I have a whole list, but I don't want to put it.
[00:30:41]  I have like hundreds of things on the list.
[00:30:43]  If you go shopping, if you do this, if you buy a car, if you license a car, if you point to everything you need to have identification.
[00:30:51]  So all voters have to show identification, ID.
[00:30:55]  All voters must show proof of citizenship in order to vote.
[00:30:59]  So you have ID and you have citizenship.
[00:31:01]  So far, good.
[00:31:02]  No mail-in ballots except for illness, disability, military, or travel.
[00:31:07]  Mail-in ballots are a disaster.
[00:31:10]  Jimmy Carter, the best thing he ever did, he had at a commission after he was president.
[00:31:16]  It was the single best thing, and he did a thing on mail-in ballots.
[00:31:20]  He said mail-in ballots should not be allowed because they are inherently dishonest.
[00:31:26]  And we have seen it time and time again, and we just keep going with it.
[00:31:30]  And I put that down as the top three.
[00:31:32]  Look, no mail-in.
[00:31:34]  Now you have the exceptions for the military.
[00:31:36]  And I would even say foreign-based military, but for the military, for disability, for illness.
[00:31:42]  And if you're traveling, you know, you have an excuse.
[00:31:46]  And I was lenient on that.
[00:31:48]  But those three things, then I added two more.
[00:31:51]  These are best of, you know, best of.
[00:31:53]  These are called best of Trump.
[00:31:56]  We should also add on to this bill.
[00:31:59]  And so what I've asked Mike to do is to draw a new one with these few things added.
[00:32:04]  And let's go for the gold.
[00:32:06]  Let's not just get one like voter ID, but, you know, it can be given to you by your daughter.
[00:32:13]  You know, your daughter, she has to be of age, like above six years old, she's allowed to say.
[00:32:19]  You had to see some of this stuff is so bad.
[00:32:22]  They're doing everything possible because they know if we get this, they'll probably won't win an election for 50 years, okay?
[00:32:30]  And maybe longer.
[00:32:32]  And they're going to fight like hell.
[00:32:34]  But boy, do they get killed because even the Democrats, you saw the numbers today?
[00:32:38]  Democrats voted 86% that this stuff should be passed.
[00:32:43]  The Democrats, with the Republicans, you're at 98%, but Democrats are at 86%, except for the people that run the Democrat Party because they want to try and win elections illegally.
[00:32:56]  The only reason you vote against voter ideas is because you want to cheat.
[00:33:00]  There's no other reason.
[00:33:01]  They come up with reasons.
[00:33:02]  They say, it's racist.
[00:33:05]  That's their number one, racist.
[00:33:06]  Then you have to explain it, and they're just sitting there mumbling.
[00:33:09]  They can't explain it.
[00:33:11]  And it's actually very insulting when they use the term racist, very insulting to the people that they're trying to so-called defend, but they're not defending.
[00:33:21]  Then I wanted to add two more to it because they're, I say, 95%, maybe 100%.
[00:33:28]  No men in women's sports, very simple.
[00:33:30]  Add that in.
[00:33:32]  And I wanted to add in one other thing.
[00:33:36]  I'm not even adding in no open borders because, you know, there's some people that like open borders.
[00:33:42]  These people are crazy, but that's okay.
[00:33:44]  Because I want five things that are like close to 100%.
[00:33:48]  No transgender mutilization surgery for our children.
[00:33:52]  You can't have transgender for our children.
[00:33:57]  So those five things, five things.
[00:34:00]  Voter ID, citizenship, mail-in ballots, no mail-in ballots.
[00:34:07]  Right?
[00:34:09]  We don't want men playing in women's sports.
[00:34:12]  That's got to be about it, close to 100%.
[00:34:15]  We don't want men playing in women's sports and no transgender mutilation of our children.
[00:34:23]  Now, that should be the easiest thing to get past that you've ever had.
[00:34:29]  Each one, it's best of, best of Trump.
[00:34:32]  Those are best of Trump.
[00:34:33]  I have some that are very popular, but I wouldn't put them in that category.
[00:34:38]  This is the number one priority.
[00:34:39]  It should be for the House.
[00:34:41]  And I'd like to ask Tom, Steve, Mike, all of you, if you would.
[00:34:46]  I'd like to have you go back and Lisa.
[00:34:50]  Hello, darling.
[00:34:53]  She was screaming her affirmation of what I said.
[00:34:58]  The kid went wild.
[00:35:00]  She was so happy that somebody finally said, let's vote on this.
[00:35:05]  Lisa, you're going to get it done.
[00:35:07]  Okay, I'm going to count on you.
[00:35:08]  Forget the men up here.
[00:35:09]  I'm going to count.
[00:35:10]  But it's actually a matter in a serious way of national survival.
[00:35:15]  We can't have these elections going on like this anymore.
[00:35:19]  You know, you use paper ballots if right now they have watermark.
[00:35:22]  It's so safe, it's so good.
[00:35:24]  You put it, it gets under a light, it says, you know, a code.
[00:35:30]  It's very, very hard to cheat.
[00:35:32]  Another thing, and I don't even bring this up, it costs 7% the cost of those crazy machines.
[00:35:38]  You know, I love the machines where they get the machines, they spend all this money, and they announce during the election that the tabulation will go along for another three weeks, right?
[00:35:49]  With mail-in voting.
[00:35:50]  You know, there's not a country in the world that does mail-in ballots anymore.
[00:35:57]  They tried it.
[00:35:58]  France tried it.
[00:35:59]  It failed.
[00:36:00]  They go to paper ballots.
[00:36:01]  They're all doing paper ballots right now.
[00:36:03]  Most of them are doing paper ballots, except us.
[00:36:06]  And nobody is doing what we're doing.
[00:36:10]  And there's no elections so corrupt as the elections in the United States of America.
[00:36:15]  And we can solve them with this.
[00:36:18]  And the reason I put those other two that have not much to do with it is because they are equally popular.
[00:36:24]  And I think it might help us.
[00:36:27]  And for those people that like Pfizer, I said maybe you put them together because a lot of people feel very strongly about Pfizer.
[00:36:33]  Some people don't, but the people that want it, they really want it.
[00:36:36]  And generally, for whatever reason, they're opposed to what we're saying about the ballots and about citizenship and all of those things.
[00:36:46]  And so put them together and you might get a vote, but we have to get it done.
[00:36:50]  And then we have to get the Senate to do it.
[00:36:52]  But if you could send a bill up to the Senate, a real, we're going for the gold.
[00:36:57]  We don't want what was said.
[00:36:58]  The SAVE Act was, it was all right.
[00:37:01]  Nobody knew what the hell it was, including me.
[00:37:03]  I kept saying, what's this?
[00:37:04]  Save America Act.
[00:37:07]  Don't ever say SAVE Act again.
[00:37:09]  It's a loser.
[00:37:10]  The SAVE Act.
[00:37:12]  Nobody has any idea what was, what are we trying to save?
[00:37:16]  It's the Save America Act.
[00:37:19]  If you could send it up in full form, full form, meaning just straight, we will, I think the Senate has to approve it.
[00:37:31]  I really do.
[00:37:31]  I think, and they're going to have to go to the filibuster.
[00:37:34]  And maybe it's going to be the talking filibuster like the old days, the great Jimmy Stewart, right?
[00:37:40]  Remember the great movie, Jimmy Stewart?
[00:37:43]  But they have to get it done because if we don't get this done, I'm for, if it takes you six months, I'm for not approving anything.
[00:37:50]  I'm for not approving anything.
[00:37:52]  I don't think we should approve anything until this is approved.
[00:37:55]  And they can't win politically.
[00:37:58]  Look, you have them in a corner, and they're listening to every word I'm saying.
[00:38:01]  It doesn't matter because they can't win it politically.
[00:38:04]  Because when they say, we don't want voter identification, we don't want proof of citizenship.
[00:38:09]  All these things are just losers for them.
[00:38:12]  And they can't, they won't be able to withstand it.
[00:38:15]  Just like at the State of the Union, they started clapping at the end.
[00:38:19]  I said that.
[00:38:20]  And the reason, because politically, you have to stand for these great people that were being.
[00:38:27]  And the word came out from people watching it on television, you guys are getting killed.
[00:38:34]  And this is an even bigger example.
[00:38:37]  So if you could, if I could ask the people in this room to go for the gold.
[00:38:43]  We're going for the gold.
[00:38:44]  We're not going for the bronze.
[00:38:46]  We're not going to sign a watered-down version like has been sent up there.
[00:38:50]  Let's go for the gold and let's just not accept anything else.
[00:38:54]  I'll tell you what, I'm willing to just sort of say I'm not going to sign anything until this is approved.
[00:39:00]  I really am, but that's how bad it is.
[00:39:03]  And we're going to have to push the Senate because you have four or five senators that are, I don't know, four or five Republican senators.
[00:39:12]  You'll have to explain them to me, but we're not going to get into that.
[00:39:15]  But we're going to push them to get it done because I don't think you can politically exist if you're not going to do voter ID and these things.
[00:39:22]  I don't think the people in this country will stand for it.
[00:39:24]  So I'm making my biggest plea tonight.
[00:39:27]  It'll make you, and I'm not doing it for this reason at all.

=== Trump's Hardest Pitch for Voter ID (07:13) ===

[00:39:32]  It'll guarantee the midterms.
[00:39:34]  It'll guarantee the midterms.
[00:39:36]  If you don't get it, big trouble, my opinion.
[00:39:40]  If you get this, you're midterms and they know it.
[00:39:43]  For two reasons.
[00:39:44]  Number one, they won't be able to cheat.
[00:39:47]  And number two, the people are demanding it.
[00:39:50]  Every time I go out, Save America, sir, Save America Act.
[00:39:54]  We want the Save America Act, sir.
[00:39:56]  That's all they talk about.
[00:39:57]  They don't talk about housing.
[00:39:59]  They don't talk about anything.
[00:40:00]  That's what they talk about.
[00:40:02]  And if you send it up there, you're going to win the midterms at levels that you can't even believe.
[00:40:08]  And you're going to win every election for a long time until somebody really screws things up and hopefully that won't happen.
[00:40:14]  But I've never been more confident that if we keep these promises and deliver on this popular agenda, the American people will stand with us in overwhelming numbers, just as they did in 2024.
[00:40:26]  I heard Mike say it's actually 78 million votes, but it was actually 86.
[00:40:31]  You know, they cheated like hell, but it was too big to rig.
[00:40:35]  Remember, we did, I won three times.
[00:40:38]  First time was great.
[00:40:39]  Second time they cheated like hell.
[00:40:41]  It was COVID.
[00:40:42]  And their cheating was at an inspirational level.
[00:40:47]  We can't let that ever happen again.
[00:40:49]  And then they cheated again in the last election, but I went up.
[00:40:53]  The term I used most was too big to rig.
[00:40:57]  You got to go out, don't believe, because we had polls having us way up.
[00:41:00]  I said, don't believe the polls.
[00:41:02]  Go out and vote.
[00:41:03]  Make it too big to rig.
[00:41:04]  And that's what happened.
[00:41:06]  A couple of races they cheated or they got away with it.
[00:41:08]  A couple of Senate races, my opinion.
[00:41:11]  But we have to make it too big to rig, and that's what we did.
[00:41:15]  But we shouldn't have to win an election that way.
[00:41:17]  You could have a hard time winning elections that way.
[00:41:20]  So you got to get that passed.
[00:41:22]  And if we fight, fight, fight, we will win, win, win.
[00:41:25]  And we will make our country safer and stronger and richer and greater than it ever has been before.
[00:41:32]  And I want to say very importantly because they would like you not to say this, because this is a terrible thing, in their opinion, to say.
[00:41:39]  God bless you and God bless America.
[00:41:42]  Thank you very much, everybody.
[00:41:44]  Thank you very much.
[00:42:16]  I'll say to young man, pick yourself off the ground.
[00:42:20]  I'll say young man.
[00:42:22]  Cause you're in a new town.
[00:42:24]  There's no need to be unhappy.
[00:42:28]  Young man, there's a place you can go.
[00:42:31]  I'll say, young man.
[00:42:33]  When you're short on your dough, you can stay there.
[00:42:37]  And I'm sure you will find many ways to have a good time.
[00:42:45]  It's fun to stay at the wide MCA.
[00:42:49]  It's fun to stay in the wide MCA.
[00:42:55]  Okay, the President of the United States addressing the Republican conference with the Save America Act got to pass it.
[00:43:04]  That was the central part of it.
[00:43:05]  Plus, I guess the war is over or President Trump's making a pretty big case this afternoon to CBS News and now to the that was the House conference couple of day event taking place in his Dorow followed on the Shield of America.
[00:43:28]  I've got Natalie Winters joins me.
[00:43:31]  We're going to start the show off with that.
[00:43:32]  Natalie, I want to get to your analysis and report in a moment because I think it's quite relevant about the are we going a different direction in Iraq or excuse me, Iran.
[00:43:46]  Pardon my Freudian slip.
[00:43:49]  But let's talk about the Save America Act.
[00:43:51]  I didn't actually see a wildly enthusiastic response to that.
[00:43:55]  President Trump is making probably the hardest pitch I've ever seen for the act.
[00:44:00]  He said he's going to add a couple of things on.
[00:44:01]  That's about women and men and women's sports and also transgender ideology.
[00:44:08]  But I mean, there was some applause at the beginning.
[00:44:11]  He made this the centerpiece.
[00:44:13]  He says, you do this and it's impossible for them to beat us in the fall.
[00:44:16]  I expect to see people standing on the chairs.
[00:44:19]  And I think one of the reasons is that most of the people in the room know that John Thune and the Senate have no interest at all in working with the president to pass this bill.
[00:44:28]  Natalie, your observations on this.
[00:44:32]  Well, thank you so much for having me.
[00:44:34]  Look, I think what we're witnessing is the story of the MAGA movement that we know all too well, right?
[00:44:39]  President Trump sticking his neck out, getting behind common sense legislation, any version of it.
[00:44:45]  It is so rudimentary and simple, right?
[00:44:48]  It's non-citizens not being able to vote.
[00:44:50]  We're not even getting into the sort of really scary stuff for the left, which is ballot harvesting, things like that, dead people voting.
[00:44:59]  But of course, Republicans are apathetic.
[00:45:00]  But I think you also have to look at the history of the SAVE Act.
[00:45:04]  It has very often been used, right?
[00:45:07]  For each Congress, at least going back to, I remember the one where you were in prison when, you know, the SAVE Act was used as a justification as to why we needed to pass the like 38th CR in a row to continue an omnibus, which would then, or I guess a minibus that would then lead us to omnibus spending.
[00:45:24]  And I think that the only time you ever really see voting, security, voting integrity discussed on a congressional level, it's sort of like China, right?
[00:45:33]  It's political football.
[00:45:34]  Obviously, it's not to President Trump.
[00:45:36]  That's why he keeps talking about it.
[00:45:37]  The White House has made it clear that's a really significant issue that they're pushing.
[00:45:42]  But House Republicans suck.
[00:45:44]  Maybe that's a simple way to take it, but they don't care.
[00:45:48]  They don't care about immigration.
[00:45:50]  They don't care about any issues.
[00:45:51]  They just want to like put out, you know, tweets where they sound like they're really tough and then not do anything about it.
[00:45:56]  And Steve, the real tell that House Republicans have never been serious about doing anything on election integrity was back in 2020, even when we took the House, right?
[00:46:04]  They set up all those committees going after China, going after weaponization.
[00:46:11]  COVID, I think they had one.
[00:46:12]  Did they set up one for the 2020 election?
[00:46:15]  No, right?
[00:46:16]  They don't actually deal with the real election integrity activists.
[00:46:20]  They want this like limited hangout version where we pretend that the only threat is non-citizens voting.
[00:46:25]  I'm not negating that that's a serious threat, but the real threat of elections here in the United States, that's like, you know, a small portion of it.
[00:46:33]  So House Republicans, I guess, are doing what they do best, killing, you know, what President Trump and the grassroots actually care about.
[00:46:41]  Mediate's headline tonight, Natalie Winners, House Republicans suck.

=== Trump's Press Conference on Refugee Data (03:25) ===

[00:46:45]  Anyway, that was good.
[00:46:47]  Hang around, Natalie.
[00:46:48]  We're here to hold you back.
[00:46:49]  The president's now suck a lot.
[00:46:52]  Suck a lot.
[00:46:54]  There's going to be a press conference right now.
[00:46:56]  I think they're going to shift rooms.
[00:46:57]  Anyway, we're getting the logistics right here in the war room.
[00:47:00]  Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
[00:47:05]  Okay, there's going to be a press conference momentarily as soon as the president changes rooms at Darrell.
[00:47:11]  Natalie, you had an excellent piece.
[00:47:13]  And look, I think it's up in the air, so let's just wait to the press conference.
[00:47:16]  He did talk to CBS News.
[00:47:18]  He said the war is essentially over.
[00:47:20]  They've destroyed the Navy, the air defense systems, etc.
[00:47:24]  I'll be blunt.
[00:47:25]  It's a little confusing, although we've been a big advocate of let's think this through.
[00:47:30]  And if there's a smart off-ramp that accomplishes our objectives, we should be looking at that and considering it.
[00:47:38]  Your piece today adds another complexity to the situation.
[00:47:43]  You want to walk through it?
[00:47:45]  Sure.
[00:47:46]  I think that, you know, obviously our audience is rightfully very concerned about the potential, you know, third and fourth order effects, which I think the West, America has seen in the form of refugee waves, right, post conflicts like these.
[00:47:58]  And there's not a lot of numbers, which I find quite interesting.
[00:48:01]  No conspiracies, no coincidences, but I was able to obtain some like kind of stealth internal data from the United Nations tracking what they call internally displaced people from Iran and the surrounding region.
[00:48:18]  But just before we back into the actual data, I think a very important data point in this whole discussion is just the actual size of Iran in terms of population, right?
[00:48:27]  You're talking upwards of like 90 million people.
[00:48:31]  What do I mean by that?
[00:48:32]  Even if just 10% of people, you know, leave, decide to leave, or pushed out, that's 9 million refugees.
[00:48:39]  For reference, Iraq, when we went in, it was a population of about 25 million.
[00:48:43]  Libya was about 6 million.
[00:48:46]  And when you look at the refugee flows from those countries, you got about 4.7 million from Iraq.
[00:48:51]  Afghanistan was about 6 million displaced.
[00:48:53]  And then in Libya, you had about a million people leave.
[00:48:58]  The numbers that we're seeing thus far in total in the region, the UN is saying in the first basically three days of the conflict was over 300,000 people, 100,000 specifically from Iran.
[00:49:09]  But they admit in their own report that these numbers are extremely deflated.
[00:49:14]  You've also seen some European advisory groups warning that this would be potentially the largest migration wave in modern history.
[00:49:23]  So thank God we have President Trump in an administration that has done a lot to curtail refugee admissions.
[00:49:30]  And obviously Secretary Hegseth has said we're not going to get in the business of human placement and shoving these people into the United States.
[00:49:39]  I wouldn't imagine that happening.
[00:49:41]  But I think for the future of Europe, the population there is just so large.
[00:49:46]  And there's already around over, I think, 3.5 million Afghanistan refugees who live in Iran.
[00:49:53]  So it's already sort of a tumultuous place in terms of who is living there.
[00:49:59]  So I think that these data points are very informative for a discussion.
[00:50:05]  Hang one second.
[00:50:06]  We are going to cut right to the President.
[00:50:07]  Let's say the press conference is going to start.
[00:50:09]  Let's cut right to the President.

=== Building Nuclear Weapons Fast (06:33) ===

[00:50:11]  Over the weekend, the United States military and the Israeli Defense Forces continued Operation Epic Fury very successfully.
[00:50:19]  Over the past nine days, we have carried out some of the most powerful and complex military strikes and maneuvers the world has ever seen.
[00:50:28]  Now, you add that up to all of the other things, Midnight Hammer, getting rid of the nuclear threat from Iran, which was a big moment in history, in my opinion, and the great success we have had in Venezuela and all other places.
[00:50:44]  Every place we have gone, we have had tremendous success.
[00:50:49]  But while we are doing all of these things, we are achieving major strides toward completing our military objective.
[00:50:57]  And some people could say they are pretty well complete.
[00:51:00]  We have wiped every single force in Iran out very completely.
[00:51:07]  Most of Iran's naval power has been sunk.
[00:51:11]  It is on the bottom of the sea.
[00:51:13]  It is almost 50 ships.
[00:51:16]  I was just notified as 51 ships.
[00:51:18]  I didn't know they had that many.
[00:51:20]  Didn't last very long.
[00:51:22]  And these are fighting vessels.
[00:51:25]  They are meant to fight, but they are not meant to fight against us.
[00:51:29]  We continue to target Iran's drone and missile capabilities.
[00:51:33]  Their drones are way down.
[00:51:35]  Their drone manufacturing has been hit starting today.
[00:51:40]  We know all of the places they manufacture the drones, and they are being hit one after another.
[00:51:45]  Their missile capability is down to about 10 percent, maybe less.
[00:51:51]  We are also hitting where they make missiles and where they deliver missiles.
[00:51:55]  We have struck over 5,000 targets to date, some of them very major targets, and we have left some of the most important targets for later in case we need to do it.
[00:52:05]  If we hit them, it is going to take many years for them to be rebuilt, having to do with electricity production and many other things.
[00:52:15]  So we are not looking to do that if we don't have to.
[00:52:18]  But they are the kind of things that are very easy to hit, but very devastating if they are hit.
[00:52:24]  We are waiting to see what happens before we hit them.
[00:52:27]  We could take them all out in one day, but it is all resulting in a 90 percent decline in various things, but in particular, Iranian missile launchers and 83 percent drop in drone launchers, as you know.
[00:52:44]  The drone launchers are pretty well shot, but we are at over 90 percent decline in the Iranian missile launchers, which is very hard to reproduce and very hard to get.
[00:52:57]  And usually, what we were able to do through great Equipment, a lot of smart people.
[00:53:05]  As soon as they sent a missile up from a launcher, we were able to knock out that launcher within a period of five minutes or less, accurately right on the noggin.
[00:53:16]  So now we have low-cost interceptors effectively combating Iranian drones, and our B-2 bombers recently dropped dozens of 2,000pound bombs to destroy missile launchers all over Iran and buried deep under Iranian soil in many cases.
[00:53:34]  The soil was no match.
[00:53:36]  And we are also annihilating the manufacturing base that the regime uses to build drones and missiles at a rate that nobody thought was possible.
[00:53:45]  We are knocking them out.
[00:53:46]  We know where they all are.
[00:53:48]  We are knocking them out very quickly.
[00:53:50]  We are ahead of our initial timeline by a lot.
[00:53:53]  I would say that we probably would not have thought after a month we would be here.
[00:53:58]  In addition to the fact that we have taken out the leadership twice and maybe three times.
[00:54:06]  And we, as you know, we want to be involved.
[00:54:10]  We don't want another President that maybe wouldn't be willing to do what I am willing to do for the good of the world, for the good of our nation, to be stuck with the situation in five years or ten years from now.
[00:54:20]  So we think they should put a President in or the head of the country in that is going to be able to do something peacefully for a change.
[00:54:28]  They have been doing this for 47 years, killing people for 47 years.
[00:54:33]  Whether it is the barracks or even the SS Cole where they were involved, very strongly, they always denied it.
[00:54:40]  But they were very strongly involved.
[00:54:42]  And all of the people that died through the roadside bombs died and are right now walking around with no legs, no arms, a face that has been so badly damaged.
[00:54:53]  The Iranian regime has been attacking Americans and spreading terror for 47 years.
[00:55:00]  And despite these countless opportunities to renounce their nuclear ambitions, which they had just a short while ago, they told Mr. Witkoff, who is standing right over here, they actually said we want to keep building.
[00:55:16]  Essentially, in a real nutshell, we want to continue to build nuclear weapons.
[00:55:22]  If we didn't knock out Midnight Hammer, if we didn't knock out their Iranian potential, if we didn't do that with Midnight Hammer, they would have had a nuclear weapon.
[00:55:31]  They would have used it long before now.
[00:55:33]  And at a minimum, Israel would have been annihilated.
[00:55:37]  It was very lucky that we had the courage to do that, that we had the talented pilots and the great equipment.
[00:55:44]  The B-2 bombers are unbelievable.
[00:55:46]  We ordered 25 more, by the way.
[00:55:49]  The newer, better version.
[00:55:54]  We have the greatest military in the world.
[00:55:56]  We have the greatest equipment in the world by far.
[00:55:58]  You see that no matter where we go.
[00:56:01]  You still need the people, though, to operate it and to use it.
[00:56:04]  And those are the people that we cherish.
[00:56:07]  Even after we obliterated their key nuclear sites in Operation Midnight Hammer, they never negotiated in good faith.
[00:56:15]  They still continued to say we want to build nuclear.
[00:56:19]  We want enrichment at levels that were unacceptable.
[00:56:22]  And they even turned down an offer for unlimited free nuclear fuel forever.
[00:56:27]  for civilian purposes.
[00:56:29]  We had people offering them free nuclear fuel.
[00:56:34]  They weren't interested in that because they wanted to build a nuclear weapon.
[00:56:38]  So instead, the regime was trying to reconstitute its weapons program at a different site.
