Speaker	Time	Text
unidentified		Because that's not what he said.
		And I really like Joe Biden.
		But I think that that led to Trump's second Trump presidency because he gave a mixed message to the Democrats.
		That's what I expected.
john mcardle ▲ ● ▼		And you think a new generation of Democrats has risen up, Linda?
unidentified		Well, they're going to now because there is no choice.
		But I believe with 2020 hindsight, if Joe Biden would have stuck to what he said the first time when he ran, that he was going to be a bridge.
		He came out of retirement to unseat Donald Trump, and he was going to be a bridge to the next generation.
		To me, I don't think he should have tried to run for re-election.
john mcardle ▲ ● ▼		To go down the what if a little bit more, Linda, if he had done that, do you think Kamala Harris would have been the Democratic presidential nominee in 2024?
unidentified		Who do you think would have been?
		Happy media, Mr. President.
		And what a potty if you have me going on.
		It is.
donald j trump ▲ ● ▼		Well, we're just going to have a great nation again.
		We're going to bring it back to better than it ever was.
		I think we're going to see things that it's going to go fast.
		We're going to see some amazing things.
		But we're going to bring it back at a level that a lot of people didn't think was really possible.
unidentified		That's when we really want to see something happen.
donald j trump ▲ ● ▼		And we're going to give that to them.
		We're doing a real job.
		We have great people.
		Many are here tonight.
		You're going to be very happy.
unidentified		Have you got any news resolutions for 2025?
donald j trump ▲ ● ▼		Well, I just want everybody to be happy, healthy, and well.
unidentified		Thank you.
		New York Post reports that Biden prevents dropping up.
		He thinks he could have beat you.
		What do you say?
donald j trump ▲ ● ▼		Well, he was way behind.
		He would have really, I assume, not had a chance.
		He was way behind her.
		And we won in record numbers, as you know, won every swing state.
		We won the popular vote by millions and millions of people.
		So, hey, look, I wish him well.
		He had a chance to do it in the debate, and that didn't work out too well for him.
		That was, I guess, the reason that really led to his downfall.
unidentified		What are you looking forward to in 2025?
donald j trump ▲ ● ▼		Which is great, a great year.
		I think we're going to do fantastically well as a country.
		We're going to bring it back.
		It has to be brought back.
		People are not respecting our country very much, and they're going to respect us a lot.
		I think a lot of progress has been made over the last five weeks.
		It's been pretty amazing when you look at what's happened.
		There's a whole light over the whole world, not just our country.
		There are a lot of very happy people.
unidentified		Mr. President.
		Mr. President.
		Mr. Republicans who are still not authoring.
		Speaker Johnson.
		What's your message to those Republicans who are still not supporting Speaker Johnson?
donald j trump ▲ ● ▼		Well, I think they'll support Speaker Johnson.
		I think we're going to have a great time in Washington, and I think we're going to get great support.
		And he's the one that can win right now.
		People like him.
		Almost everybody likes him.
		Others are very good, too, but they have 30 or 40 people that don't like him.
		So that's pretty tough.
unidentified		Are you calling members on?
unidentified		Are you allowing me to do that?
donald j trump ▲ ● ▼		Well, if necessary, but I think really we're going to have a great time.
		We're going to get a successful vote.
		He's a good man.
		He's a very, he's a wonderful person.
		And that's what you need.
unidentified		Why did you change your mind on H-1BP, sir?
donald j trump ▲ ● ▼		I didn't change my mind.
		I've always felt we have to have the most competent people in our country.
		We need competent people.
		We need smart people coming into our country.
		And we need a lot of people coming in.
		We're going to have jobs like we've never had before.
unidentified		But sir, you said you changed your position.
		Do you plan to go to the Carter funeral next week?
		Say it.
		Do you plan to go to President Carter's?
donald j trump ▲ ● ▼		I do.
unidentified		I'll be there.
donald j trump ▲ ● ▼		We were invited.
unidentified		Have you spoken with any Carter family members?
donald j trump ▲ ● ▼		I'd rather not say.
unidentified		How do you speak to President?
donald j trump ▲ ● ▼		Well, I think we have great nominees.
		We're doing very well, as you know.
		I think most of them are being thought of very highly, just about all of them.
		So, I think we're going to do very well.
unidentified		How did you plan?
		How do you go back?
		You've said that he said he's eager to meet with you.
		Are you planning a meeting with him?
donald j trump ▲ ● ▼		Well, this is a traditional meeting.
		Some people say we already had that.
		You know, we met a week and a half ago.
unidentified		But if it's appropriate, I'd like to, you know, like to do the yeah.
		Any new thoughts on Ukraine and the situation there?
		Do you intend to?
donald j trump ▲ ● ▼		No, it's a shame.
		The whole thing started.
		Would have never started if I were president.
		You wouldn't have Ukraine.
		You wouldn't have Ukraine-Russia problems.
		You wouldn't have had the Israeli problem with what happened on October 7th was just a horrible thing.
		All of the things.
		You wouldn't have inflation.
		Inflation was a disaster.
		One of the reasons we ended the country.
		We won the country by the kind of numbers we won by, which were record-setting numbers.
		All of these things.
		And then you take a look also, look at all of the other problems that they caused.
		The problems that they caused in this country.
		And specifically, Iran on the border.
		Millions and millions of people that flow through our border from prisons, from mental institutions, people that should not be in our country.
		And you see the crime numbers.
		They're going through the roof.
		Look at New York City.
		Look at Chicago.
		Look at Los Angeles.
		They're going through the roof.
		We're going to get them out.
		We're going to get them out fast.
		Thank you very much.
unidentified		You said if they don't have one, by the time you take office, there will be help today.
donald j trump ▲ ● ▼		We're going to see what happens.
unidentified		Have you spoken to you?
donald j trump ▲ ● ▼		They better let the hostages come back soon.
