[00:00:12] Wow, got a lot of people. That's a new
[00:00:16] record. We set a record every time.
[00:00:19] Well, thank you very much for being
[00:00:20] here. The Supreme Court's ruling on
[00:00:24] tariffs is deeply disappointing
[00:00:29] and I'm ashamed of certain members of
[00:00:31] the court, absolutely ashamed for not
[00:00:34] having the courage to do what's right
[00:00:36] for our country.
[00:00:39] I'd like to thank and congratulate
[00:00:41] justices Thomas, Alito, and Kavanaaugh
[00:00:44] for their strength and wisdom
[00:00:47] and love of our country, which is right
[00:00:50] now very proud of those justices.
[00:00:54] When you read the dissenting opinions,
[00:00:56] there's no way that anyone can argue
[00:01:00] against them. There's no way.
[00:01:03] foreign countries that have been ripping
[00:01:05] us off for years are ecstatic. They're
[00:01:08] so happy
[00:01:11] and they're dancing in the streets, but
[00:01:12] they won't be dancing for long. That I
[00:01:15] can assure you. The Democrats on the
[00:01:18] court
[00:01:20] are thrilled, but they will
[00:01:22] automatically vote no. They're an
[00:01:23] automatic no. Just like in Congress,
[00:01:25] they're an automatic no.
[00:01:28] They're against anything that makes
[00:01:30] America strong, healthy, and great
[00:01:33] again. They also are a
[00:01:36] frankly disgrace to our nation. Those
[00:01:38] justices,
[00:01:40] they're an automatic no matter how good
[00:01:42] a case you have. It's a no.
[00:01:46] But you can't knock their loyalty.
[00:01:49] It's one thing you can do with some of
[00:01:53] our people. Others think they're being
[00:01:56] politically correct, which has happened
[00:01:59] before far too often with certain
[00:02:01] members of this court. And it's happened
[00:02:04] so often with this court. What a shame
[00:02:07] having to do with voting in particular
[00:02:11] when in fact they're just being fools
[00:02:13] and lap dogs for the rhinos and the
[00:02:15] radical left Democrats. And not that
[00:02:19] they should have anything at all to do
[00:02:20] with it. They're very unpatriotic and
[00:02:23] disloyal to our constitution.
[00:02:25] It's my opinion that the court has been
[00:02:27] swayed by foreign interests and a
[00:02:30] political movement that is far smaller
[00:02:32] than people would ever think. It's a
[00:02:35] small
[00:02:36] movement.
[00:02:38] I won by millions of votes. We won in a
[00:02:40] landslide
[00:02:42] with all the cheating that went on.
[00:02:44] There was a lot of it, but we still won
[00:02:45] in a landslide. Too big to rig. But
[00:02:48] these people are obnoxious, ignorant,
[00:02:50] and loud. They're very loud and I think
[00:02:53] certain justices are afraid of that.
[00:02:56] They don't want to do the right thing.
[00:02:58] They're afraid of it.
[00:03:00] This was an important case to me more as
[00:03:04] a symbol of economic national security
[00:03:07] and also I would say just for our
[00:03:12] country itself so important because
[00:03:14] we're doing so well as a country. We've
[00:03:16] never done so well. The good news is
[00:03:18] that there are methods, practices,
[00:03:22] statutes, and authorities as recognized
[00:03:25] by the entire court in this terrible
[00:03:28] decision and also as recognized by
[00:03:31] Congress, which they refer to that are
[00:03:34] even stronger than the AIPA tariffs
[00:03:36] available to me as president of the
[00:03:38] United States. And in actuality, I was
[00:03:41] very modest in my ask of other countries
[00:03:44] and businesses because I wanted to do
[00:03:48] and I very important. I wanted to be
[00:03:50] very well behaved because I wanted to do
[00:03:54] anything. I didn't want to do anything
[00:03:56] that would affect the decision of the
[00:03:58] court because I understand the court. I
[00:04:01] understand how they are very easily
[00:04:04] swayed.
[00:04:05] I want to be a good boy.
[00:04:08] I have very effectively utilized tariffs
[00:04:12] over the past year to make America great
[00:04:14] again. Our stock market has just
[00:04:17] recently broken 50,000
[00:04:19] on the Dow and simultaneously and even
[00:04:24] more amazingly broken 70 broking 7,000
[00:04:28] on the S&P. Two numbers that everybody
[00:04:31] thought upon our landslide election
[00:04:34] victory could not be attained.
[00:04:37] Think of that. Nobody thought it was
[00:04:38] possible to do it within four years. And
[00:04:41] we did it in one year. They said,
[00:04:44] "You'll never be able." You go back and
[00:04:46] you read the geniuses, read their
[00:04:49] statements,
[00:04:50] all of the Nobel Prize winners in
[00:04:54] economics. They said, "No, you couldn't
[00:04:55] do it in four years." Well, we didn't do
[00:04:58] it in four years. We did it in one year.
[00:05:00] We broke every record in the book, and
[00:05:02] we're continuing to do so.
[00:05:05] Tariffs have likewise been used to end
[00:05:08] five of the eight wars that I settled. I
[00:05:11] settled eight wars whether you like it
[00:05:12] or not including India, Pakistan, big
[00:05:15] ones. Nuclear could have been nuclear.
[00:05:18] Prime Minister of Pakistan said
[00:05:20] yesterday at the great meeting that we
[00:05:23] had the peace board. He said yesterday
[00:05:28] that President Trump could have saved 35
[00:05:30] million lives by getting us to stop
[00:05:32] fighting. They were getting ready to do
[00:05:34] some bad things,
[00:05:36] but they've given us great national
[00:05:38] security these tariffs have. And
[00:05:41] together with our strong borders,
[00:05:42] reduced fentinol coming into our country
[00:05:45] by 30%
[00:05:47] when I use them as a penalty against
[00:05:49] countries illegally sending this poison
[00:05:52] into our country to poison our youth.
[00:05:56] All of those tariffs remain. They all
[00:05:58] remain. I don't know if you know that or
[00:06:00] not. They all remain. We're still
[00:06:03] getting them and we will after the
[00:06:05] decision because there's nobody left to
[00:06:07] appeal to. But again, those three
[00:06:09] people, such respect. I've had a lot of
[00:06:12] respect for them anyway, but such great
[00:06:14] respect. But other alternatives will now
[00:06:17] be used to replace the ones that the
[00:06:18] court incorrectly rejected. We have
[00:06:21] alternatives.
[00:06:23] Great alternatives. Could be more money.
[00:06:25] We'll take in more money and we'll be a
[00:06:28] lot stronger for it. We were taking in
[00:06:30] hundreds of billions of dollars. We'll
[00:06:32] continue to do so. To show you how
[00:06:35] ridiculous the opinion is, however, the
[00:06:38] court said that I'm not allowed to
[00:06:39] charge even $1. I can't charge one
[00:06:42] dollar.
[00:06:44] Can't charge a dollar. I would have used
[00:06:47] one penny, but we don't make the pennies
[00:06:48] anymore. We save money. Can't charge one
[00:06:52] dollar to any country under AIPA. Not
[00:06:55] one dollar. I assume to protect other
[00:06:59] countries. This must have been done to
[00:07:00] protect those other countries. Certainly
[00:07:02] not the United States of America, which
[00:07:05] they should be interested in protecting.
[00:07:06] That's what they're supposed to be
[00:07:08] protecting. But I am allowed to cut off
[00:07:11] any and all trade or business with that
[00:07:14] same country. In other words, I can
[00:07:15] destroy the trade. I can destroy the
[00:07:18] country. I'm even allowed to impose a
[00:07:21] foreign country destroying embargo. I
[00:07:24] can embargo. I can do anything I want.
[00:07:27] But I can't charge $1
[00:07:30] because that's not what it says
[00:07:32] and that's not the way it even reads. I
[00:07:35] can do anything I want to do to them,
[00:07:39] but I can't charge
[00:07:41] any money. So, I'm allowed to destroy
[00:07:44] the country, but I can't charge them a
[00:07:45] little fee. I could give them a little
[00:07:47] two two cent fee, but I cannot charge
[00:07:50] under any circumstances. I cannot charge
[00:07:53] them anything. Think of that. How
[00:07:55] ridiculous is that? But I'm allowed to
[00:07:56] embargo them. I'm allowed to tell them,
[00:07:58] "You can't do business in the United
[00:08:00] States anymore. We want you out of
[00:08:02] here."
[00:08:03] But if I want to charge them $10, I
[00:08:06] can't do that. It's incorrect. Their
[00:08:08] decision is incorrect. But it doesn't
[00:08:10] matter because we have very powerful
[00:08:13] alternatives that have been approved by
[00:08:15] this decision. You know, they've been
[00:08:17] approved by the decision for those that
[00:08:19] thought they had us. And they're saying
[00:08:22] that I have the absolute right to
[00:08:24] license but not the right to charge a
[00:08:27] license fee. So think of that. I have
[00:08:29] the right to license. It's a very
[00:08:31] powerful word. In many ways, license is
[00:08:33] more powerful than tariffs. In fact, I
[00:08:35] was thinking about using it. But they
[00:08:37] came up with the idea that I can license
[00:08:40] just like the people that were opposing
[00:08:42] me told them to do, but not the right to
[00:08:46] charge a license fee. Think of that. Who
[00:08:49] ever heard of such a thing? What license
[00:08:51] has ever been issued without the right
[00:08:53] to charge a fee? You get a license, you
[00:08:55] charge a fee. It's automatic. But not
[00:08:57] with this court. But now the court has
[00:08:59] given me the unquestioned right to ban
[00:09:02] all sorts of things from coming into our
[00:09:04] country to destroy foreign countries,
[00:09:07] but a much more powerful right than many
[00:09:10] people ever thought we even had. But not
[00:09:13] the right to charge a fee. How crazy is
[00:09:16] that? Our country is the hottest country
[00:09:20] anywhere in the world right now. And it
[00:09:23] was a dead country one and a half years
[00:09:24] ago under an incompetent president. But
[00:09:27] now I'm going to go in a different
[00:09:29] direction. Probably the direction that I
[00:09:34] should have gone the first time, but I
[00:09:37] read the language. I'm very good at
[00:09:38] reading language and it read our way
[00:09:40] 100%. But now I'll go the way I could
[00:09:42] have gone originally, which is even
[00:09:45] stronger than our original choice.
[00:09:48] As Justice Kavanaaugh, whose stock has
[00:09:51] gone so you have to see, I'm so proud of
[00:09:54] him, wrote in his descent, although I
[00:09:59] firmly disagree with the court's holding
[00:10:01] today, the decision might not
[00:10:03] substantially constrain a president's
[00:10:06] ability to order tariffs going forward.
[00:10:09] So
[00:10:11] night think of that the decision might
[00:10:14] not substantially constrain and it
[00:10:17] doesn't. He's right. In fact, I can
[00:10:19] judge much more than I was charging.
[00:10:22] So I'm going to just start. Although I
[00:10:24] firmly disagree with the court's holding
[00:10:26] today, the decision might not
[00:10:28] substantially
[00:10:30] constrain a president's ability to order
[00:10:32] tariffs going forward. That's because
[00:10:36] numerous other federal statutes, which
[00:10:38] is so true, authorize the president to
[00:10:41] impose tariffs and might justify most if
[00:10:44] not all of the tariffs issued in this
[00:10:48] case, even more tariffs. Actually, those
[00:10:51] statutes include,
[00:10:54] think of that, those statutes include,
[00:10:56] for example, the Trade Expansion Act of
[00:11:00] 1962, section 232. All of these things I
[00:11:04] know so well. The Trade Act of 1974,
[00:11:09] sections 122, 2011, 301, and the Tariff
[00:11:13] Act of 1930, section 338, all clear, but
[00:11:17] it's a little bit longer process. I
[00:11:19] thought I make things simple, but they
[00:11:22] didn't let us do that. I would like to
[00:11:24] thank Justice Kavanagh for his frankly
[00:11:26] his genius and his his great ability.
[00:11:30] very proud of that appointment. In
[00:11:34] actuality, why while I am sure that they
[00:11:38] did not mean to do so, the Supreme
[00:11:40] Court's decision today made a
[00:11:42] president's ability to both regulate
[00:11:44] trade and impose tariffs more powerful
[00:11:48] and more crystal clear rather than less.
[00:11:51] I don't think they meant that. I'm sure
[00:11:53] they didn't.
[00:11:56] It's terrible.
[00:11:58] And to think that the Democrats who
[00:12:01] oppose this only because they want to go
[00:12:02] the opposite way. They'd like to pack
[00:12:04] the court. They want to put on 21
[00:12:06] people. They want to pack the court.
[00:12:08] Pack the Supreme Court. Maybe they
[00:12:10] should do it. Maybe they would be better
[00:12:12] off if they did it. They want to pack
[00:12:14] the court. They want to do anything to
[00:12:17] hurt our country.
[00:12:19] there will no longer be any doubt and
[00:12:22] the income coming in and the protection
[00:12:25] of our companies and country will
[00:12:27] actually increase because of this
[00:12:29] decision.
[00:12:31] I don't think the court meant that, but
[00:12:33] it's the way it is based on
[00:12:35] long-standing law and hundreds of
[00:12:37] victories
[00:12:39] and even as I was pointed out before,
[00:12:41] even thousands of victories over the
[00:12:43] years. To the contrary, the Supreme
[00:12:46] Court did not overrule tariffs. They
[00:12:49] merely overruled a particular use of
[00:12:52] AIPA tariffs.
[00:12:54] And essentially, it's to use to get a
[00:12:55] fee. I can do anything I want with AIPA.
[00:13:00] Anything. I just can't charge anybody
[00:13:02] for it.
[00:13:04] I can license. I just can't charge them.
[00:13:06] It's ridiculous. But it's okay because
[00:13:08] we have
[00:13:10] other ways, numerous other ways. The
[00:13:12] ability to block, embargo, restrict,
[00:13:16] license, or impose any other condition
[00:13:20] on a foreign country's ability to
[00:13:22] conduct trade with the United States
[00:13:25] under AIPA
[00:13:27] has been fully confirmed by this
[00:13:29] decision.
[00:13:30] So now there's no doubt because you know
[00:13:32] there were a lot of questions about
[00:13:33] tariffs because no president was smart
[00:13:36] enough to use them to protect our
[00:13:37] country from those countries and
[00:13:39] businesses that were ripping us off. You
[00:13:42] took a look at the deficits that we had
[00:13:44] with some of these countries. It was
[00:13:45] disgraceful what they got away with for
[00:13:47] many many decades.
[00:13:50] But now we know because this decision
[00:13:52] affirms all those things that some
[00:13:54] people weren't sure about. In order to
[00:13:57] protect, and it says so, in order to
[00:14:00] protect our country, a president can
[00:14:02] actually charge more tariffs than I was
[00:14:05] charging in the past
[00:14:08] period of a year under the various
[00:14:11] tariffs authorities. So, we can use
[00:14:14] other of the statutes, other of the
[00:14:17] tariff authorities,
[00:14:19] which have also been confirmed
[00:14:22] and are fully allowed.
[00:14:26] Therefore, effective immediately,
[00:14:28] all national security tariffs under
[00:14:30] section 232 and existing section 301
[00:14:34] tariffs, they're existing, they're
[00:14:36] there,
[00:14:38] remain in place, fully in place
[00:14:42] and in full force and effect. Today, I
[00:14:45] will sign an order to impose a 10%
[00:14:47] global tariff under section 122 over and
[00:14:51] above our normal tariffs already being
[00:14:54] charged. And we're also initiating
[00:14:57] several section 301 and other
[00:14:59] investigations to protect our country
[00:15:02] from unfair trading practices of other
[00:15:06] countries and companies.
[00:15:09] Thank you for your attention to this
[00:15:11] matter and I say quite simply which I've
[00:15:14] said for a long time. Make America great
[00:15:18] again. And interestingly, we've already
[00:15:20] made it great. So I don't have to use
[00:15:22] that. But I don't think we'll ever give
[00:15:24] up on MAGA. Maga is always going to be
[00:15:25] with us. Uh if you have a few questions,
[00:15:29] you can let us know. But just to end, so
[00:15:33] we're going forward. We will be able to
[00:15:36] take in more money and there'll no
[00:15:38] longer be doubt because there was always
[00:15:40] doubt. Uh I know the people that brought
[00:15:42] the lawsuit and you know they're slee
[00:15:45] bags, major sleeves bags, but I know
[00:15:47] them and they're foreign country
[00:15:50] centric.
[00:15:52] They were sending things into our
[00:15:54] country and the people representing them
[00:15:58] knew full well but they were sending
[00:16:00] things into our country and they were
[00:16:02] beneficial to other countries but very
[00:16:05] very bad for us and I stopped it and
[00:16:08] we'll just keep it going. So we have
[00:16:10] more of a we have a totally firm
[00:16:12] decision now and I don't think the court
[00:16:14] meant it because the court doesn't show
[00:16:17] great uh spirit toward our country in my
[00:16:20] opinion. a lot of bad decisions, but uh
[00:16:23] there are usually ways around it. This
[00:16:26] is something we could have done. As
[00:16:27] Justice Kavanaaugh said, we could have
[00:16:28] done this originally, but we're doing it
[00:16:30] now and the numbers could be far greater
[00:16:32] than the hundreds of billions we've
[00:16:34] already taken in.
[00:16:35] >> Yeah, please. Thank you, Mr. President.
[00:16:38] Mr. President, I'm very curious
[00:16:41] in the
[00:16:42] >> Thank you so much, Mr. President. Uh
[00:16:44] Justice Thomas and Alito, as you know,
[00:16:45] are the most conservative constitutional
[00:16:47] justices. Do you think that you'll get
[00:16:49] to appoint two more justices later this
[00:16:51] term with similar ideologies? And what
[00:16:53] type of vetting process will they grow
[00:16:55] go through to ensure the uphold?
[00:16:56] >> I don't know, but they're great
[00:16:57] justices. That's all I can say. And I
[00:16:59] hope they're going to be around a long
[00:17:01] time. I hope they're going to stay
[00:17:02] healthy. They're great people. They're
[00:17:03] great. And Justice Alto to add to the
[00:17:06] group. These are great these are great
[00:17:08] men,
[00:17:09] >> right?
[00:17:09] >> With uh a great love of our country and
[00:17:12] a great understanding of the law.
[00:17:14] >> Mr. Mr. President, are you going to ask
[00:17:17] Congress to take additional action on
[00:17:18] tariffs now?
[00:17:19] >> I don't need you. It's already been
[00:17:20] approved.
[00:17:21] >> I mean, I would ask Congress and
[00:17:23] probably get it. When people look at the
[00:17:25] real numbers, uh, and you look at
[00:17:28] hundreds of billions of dollars that
[00:17:30] have come into our country. Yesterday I
[00:17:32] was at a steel plant as you know and I
[00:17:34] went to great great place great plant
[00:17:38] great wonderful people and they were
[00:17:41] telling me I said to him you were there
[00:17:43] a lot of the press in this room of
[00:17:45] course I don't think there's planes big
[00:17:47] enough to take the press in this room
[00:17:49] but a lot of the press right here we're
[00:17:51] in Georgia
[00:17:53] and I said to the owner I made a speech
[00:17:55] at a factory they make steel products
[00:17:58] and I said uh how are you nice to meet
[00:18:00] you how's business is president. I'd
[00:18:03] love to kiss you. This is a very
[00:18:06] powerful man. I don't want to be kissed
[00:18:07] by that man, but a very powerful, strong
[00:18:10] man. He's been in the steel business for
[00:18:12] many years. His father started it.
[00:18:15] And he said, "Sir, I want to kiss you."
[00:18:17] He said, "Why?" He said, "Because we
[00:18:19] were down to working one hour a week and
[00:18:22] then you came in and imposed tariffs and
[00:18:25] all of that foreign junk that they were
[00:18:27] dropping into our country stopped. and
[00:18:30] we're now going to double shifts seven
[00:18:33] days a week and we may be very soon
[00:18:35] going to 24 hours around the clock
[00:18:37] almost seven days a week. He said, "Sir,
[00:18:40] I want to kiss you so badly." And I
[00:18:42] said, "No, thank you." But but you know
[00:18:45] what? He he just and just to finalize
[00:18:47] it, he said, "All this is a great place
[00:18:49] in G in Georgia." He said, "All up and
[00:18:52] down the highway."
[00:18:55] Same exact answer, sir. We're all going
[00:18:58] out of business. we're going to go
[00:18:59] bankrupt. We're all going out of
[00:19:00] business. And now every one of us are
[00:19:03] thriving. And we're hiring people like
[00:19:06] we haven't, he said, like I've never and
[00:19:08] he's been in business for I think 45
[00:19:10] years like we've never hired before.
[00:19:12] That's because of tariffs. And we're
[00:19:14] going to keep it going the same way. And
[00:19:16] it's you're going to start to see the
[00:19:17] results in a year from now when all
[00:19:18] those factories start that are under
[00:19:20] construction right now. You see all the
[00:19:22] construction numbers are so good. Those
[00:19:24] construction workers are building
[00:19:26] factories that are going to be open,
[00:19:27] including not only AI, which is big, but
[00:19:31] car plants coming in from Canada who
[00:19:33] ripped us off for 30% of our market.
[00:19:36] Mexico ripped us off for a big portion.
[00:19:38] Over the years, they've taken our
[00:19:41] market. They've taken our cars. They
[00:19:43] manufacture them in Japan, Germany, and
[00:19:45] all over the place because nobody
[00:19:47] standing in this position, the position
[00:19:50] I have as president of the United States
[00:19:52] had the insight, the courage, well, I
[00:19:54] don't know what it is to charge tariffs.
[00:19:59] You can make your product outside. You
[00:20:01] can put our people out of business. You
[00:20:02] can put everybody on the unemployment
[00:20:05] roles, but if you're going to make a car
[00:20:07] in some other country, you're going to
[00:20:08] pay a 15, 20, 30% tariff. And those
[00:20:12] things would have never happened. We
[00:20:13] wouldn't have lost our business. Same
[00:20:14] thing with, as an example, Taiwan.
[00:20:17] Taiwan came in, they stole our chip
[00:20:20] business. They make chips for 30 years
[00:20:23] longer. They made chip chip chip. And uh
[00:20:26] they put our companies, Intel would be
[00:20:29] now the largest company. I saved Intel.
[00:20:32] I literally saved it at the beginning of
[00:20:35] this administration. And now all those
[00:20:38] companies in Taiwan are building
[00:20:40] factories in Arizona, Texas, and various
[00:20:44] other places because they don't want to
[00:20:45] pay tariffs. They're all pouring into
[00:20:47] the United States. But just like that
[00:20:50] great patriot said yesterday, "Sir, what
[00:20:53] you've done, nobody thought was
[00:20:55] possible." And Steve Moore, a highly
[00:20:58] respected economist, came into my office
[00:21:00] yesterday. He said, "You've done
[00:21:02] something nobody's ever done." 22 Nobel
[00:21:06] Prize winners in economics said we would
[00:21:09] right now be in a recession
[00:21:12] and you would said no, we're going to
[00:21:14] have a booming country. We're going to
[00:21:15] have a booming country. You were right.
[00:21:17] All 22 were wrong and you were right.
[00:21:21] This country is booming and it's booming
[00:21:23] because of the election on November 5th
[00:21:26] and it's booming for another reason.
[00:21:28] It's booming because of tariffs. Yeah,
[00:21:29] please go ahead. Mr. President, Mr.
[00:21:31] President,
[00:21:32] >> what will you said ahead of this
[00:21:33] decision that if the Supreme Court will
[00:21:36] go ahead?
[00:21:36] >> Thank you, Mr. President. What will you
[00:21:37] say to foreign nations who seek to
[00:21:39] renegotiate their deals? And what did
[00:21:41] you mean a moment ago when you said that
[00:21:43] the Supreme Court has been swayed by
[00:21:45] foreign interests?
[00:21:46] >> Well, I think that foreign interests are
[00:21:48] represented by people that I believe
[00:21:51] have undue influence. They have a lot of
[00:21:53] influence over the Supreme Court.
[00:21:55] Whether it's through fear or respect or
[00:21:59] friendships, I don't know. But I know
[00:22:00] some of the people that were involved on
[00:22:02] the other side and I don't like them. I
[00:22:04] think they're real slime balls and uh
[00:22:08] got to do what's right for the country.
[00:22:09] You got to do what's right for the
[00:22:11] Constitution. That's why I respect so
[00:22:13] much Justice Thomas and Alo Kavanaaugh
[00:22:18] because they they not only dissented,
[00:22:20] their descent is so strong. When you
[00:22:21] read their descent, you know, a lot of
[00:22:23] times you'll read a descent and it's
[00:22:24] like, well, you don't know it could go
[00:22:26] either way. There's no other way. The
[00:22:28] good news is it's like Justice
[00:22:30] Kavanaaugh said very strongly said you
[00:22:33] have other ways you can go. You don't
[00:22:34] have to go that way. You can go other
[00:22:35] way. There are numerous other ways you
[00:22:38] can go. And frankly, this should have
[00:22:39] been done by presidents many years ago.
[00:22:42] They allowed our country to be eaten
[00:22:44] alive. We lost 50% of our car business
[00:22:48] make. We used to make cars. We made all
[00:22:49] the cars. And then Mexico came, Canada
[00:22:53] came and Japan and Germany. But they're
[00:22:56] all coming back now. They're all coming
[00:22:58] back at record levels.
[00:23:02] >> No, you
[00:23:04] please.
[00:23:06] >> I'm not I'm not talking to you. I'm
[00:23:08] talking I don't talk I don't talk to
[00:23:10] CNN. It's fake news. Go ahead, Mr. Mr.
[00:23:12] President. Yesterday you made the case
[00:23:13] that the economy is the hottest it's
[00:23:15] been in a long time. January jobs report
[00:23:17] beat expectation. CPI report beat
[00:23:19] expectation. Real wages hurt. What would
[00:23:22] you tell Americans who are worried that
[00:23:23] this decision will kind of throw the
[00:23:25] economy that you have projected going in
[00:23:27] the right direction at a very rapid pace
[00:23:29] off off track?
[00:23:30] >> Well, thank you for the question and and
[00:23:32] I will say this. Uh we really are at a
[00:23:36] very important point. I've been waiting
[00:23:37] for this decision so long. They could
[00:23:40] have made this decision a long time ago.
[00:23:43] Not complex. They're wrong on it. It's a
[00:23:44] ridiculous decision. But they should
[00:23:46] have released this a long time ago. We
[00:23:48] waited months and that gave uncertainty.
[00:23:50] And now we have certainty and I think
[00:23:53] you're going to see the country get much
[00:23:54] stronger because of it. Look, we were
[00:23:56] ripped off by almost every country in
[00:23:59] the world. If you look at the surpluses,
[00:24:01] almost every country in the world that
[00:24:03] did business with us, our people were
[00:24:05] stupid. And I blame presidents for it
[00:24:08] because they're ultimately the leader.
[00:24:11] Uh we were being ripped off by almost
[00:24:13] every single country in the world had
[00:24:15] massive some massive surpluses.
[00:24:18] China had hundreds of billions of
[00:24:20] dollars in surpluses with the United
[00:24:22] States. They rebuilt China. They rebuilt
[00:24:24] the army. We built China's army by
[00:24:26] allowing that to happen. I have a great
[00:24:28] relationship with President Xi, but he
[00:24:30] respects our country now. Now, what
[00:24:32] we've done, I charged China a 20% tariff
[00:24:36] as a penalty for sending fentinol in.
[00:24:40] And that was 20 times more than they
[00:24:42] could make by selling fentinol. And I
[00:24:44] said, you know, at some point you're
[00:24:45] going to say like and they have reduced
[00:24:47] it. You know, fentinol is down by more
[00:24:49] than 30% coming into our country. Part
[00:24:51] of that is a strong border. We have a
[00:24:53] strong border now.
[00:24:55] >> But thank you. Thank you for your
[00:24:56] question,
[00:24:58] >> Mr. President. Sir, you sir, you warned
[00:25:01] once in a a social media post that if
[00:25:04] the Supreme Court did this, shot down
[00:25:06] your tariffs, the US would be quote
[00:25:08] financially defenseless. Are we
[00:25:10] financially defenseless right now?
[00:25:11] because we're doing something in a
[00:25:13] different way. We're doing something in
[00:25:15] a very powerful way and we're using
[00:25:18] things that some people thought we
[00:25:19] should have used in the first place, but
[00:25:21] it's more complicated. It's a little
[00:25:23] more complicated. The process takes a
[00:25:25] little more time, but the end result is
[00:25:27] going to get us more money, and I think
[00:25:29] it's going to be great. Yeah.
[00:25:32] >> Peter, go ahead.
[00:25:32] >> Thank you, President Trump. So since
[00:25:34] Liberation Day, there's about $175
[00:25:36] billion in tariff revenue that is now in
[00:25:40] limbo. Do you have to refund $175
[00:25:43] billion?
[00:25:44] >> Peter, very fair question.
[00:25:46] They take months and months to write an
[00:25:48] opinion
[00:25:50] and they don't even discuss that point.
[00:25:52] We've taken in hundreds of billions of
[00:25:55] dollars, not millions, hundreds of
[00:25:57] billions of dollars. And so I said,
[00:26:00] "Well, what happens to all the money
[00:26:01] that we took in?" it wasn't discussed.
[00:26:04] Wouldn't you think they would have put
[00:26:05] one sentence in there saying that keep
[00:26:07] the money or don't keep the money,
[00:26:09] right? I guess it has to get litigated
[00:26:11] for the next two years. So, they write
[00:26:14] this terrible defective
[00:26:17] decision. Totally defective.
[00:26:20] It's almost like not written by smart
[00:26:22] people. And what they do, they don't
[00:26:24] even talk about that. Your question is
[00:26:26] very basic. That was the first question
[00:26:27] I asked also to make you feel good. They
[00:26:29] say, "What about all the money that
[00:26:30] we've taken in?" Sir, they don't discuss
[00:26:33] that. How crazy is that?
[00:26:37] >> You're saying is, "Are you saying that
[00:26:38] you don't plan to honor refunds for
[00:26:40] companies that file for them?"
[00:26:42] >> I just told you the answer, right? I
[00:26:44] told you the answer. It's not discussed.
[00:26:45] We'll end up being in court for the next
[00:26:47] five years.
[00:26:52] >> Go ahead. Green. Green.
[00:26:53] >> Thank you, Mr. President. Um when you
[00:26:56] are talking about the relationship with
[00:26:58] countries that you have sought trade
[00:26:59] deals with um do you anticipate that
[00:27:01] they will seek to renegotiate those what
[00:27:04] do you say to them and do you view this
[00:27:06] as a potential undermining power for
[00:27:09] >> we're going straight ahead with 10%
[00:27:11] straight across the board which was the
[00:27:13] the absolute right to do and that's
[00:27:16] taking place that's a lot of money
[00:27:17] coming into our country and then during
[00:27:19] that period of about five months we are
[00:27:22] doing the various investigations
[00:27:24] necessary to put fair tariffs or tariffs
[00:27:30] period on other countries. So, we're
[00:27:32] doing that period, but we're immediately
[00:27:34] instituting the 10% provision, which
[00:27:36] we're allowed to do. And in the end, I
[00:27:38] think we'll take in more money than we
[00:27:39] taken in before.
[00:27:43] >> Mr. President, you've used um the tariff
[00:27:46] revenue to pay for a host of uh federal
[00:27:49] policies. You've claimed that they will
[00:27:50] pay for them. Um what happened? Like the
[00:27:52] farmers, we took care of farmers. You
[00:27:54] know, the farmers were mistreated by
[00:27:56] foreign countries very badly. Very, very
[00:27:58] badly. And last week, I gave them 12
[00:28:01] billion dollars out of tariff money. Uh
[00:28:04] we intend to out of tariff money because
[00:28:06] we're just so you understand,
[00:28:09] we have tariffs. We just have them in a
[00:28:11] different way. And now they've been
[00:28:13] confirmed by the Supreme Court of the
[00:28:16] United States. So there's no longer that
[00:28:18] question out there about tariffs. and
[00:28:20] we'll be taking in hundreds of billions
[00:28:22] of dollars. And countries that have
[00:28:24] treated us badly will have to pay a
[00:28:27] price for treating us badly. And
[00:28:28] countries that have been good to us will
[00:28:30] be treated very well. Uh we just left
[00:28:33] the top person in a place called Vietnam
[00:28:37] just left my office, great gentleman,
[00:28:40] strong and smart. He said, you know, I
[00:28:43] think this means you're allowed to
[00:28:44] charge us more tariffs than before.
[00:28:47] And uh Canada said to Jameson, I might
[00:28:51] want to say it, Jameson, but Canada
[00:28:53] said, "I hope you win this decision
[00:28:55] because if you don't win, you'll
[00:28:57] actually be allowed to charge us with a
[00:28:58] little additional work, higher tariffs."
[00:29:01] Jameson, you want to comment on that?
[00:29:04] >> Yes, sir. So, to the president's point,
[00:29:07] we have a lot of tools out there. We
[00:29:08] have section 122, which will be
[00:29:10] implemented today. It will be signed
[00:29:12] today and implemented very shortly. We
[00:29:14] have section 301 investigations which
[00:29:16] are incredibly legally durable where we
[00:29:19] can address investigate and address
[00:29:21] unfair trading practices that have led
[00:29:23] to our huge trade deficit. And so you
[00:29:25] can look forward in the coming days and
[00:29:27] weeks to seeing all of that come out and
[00:29:28] we're going to keep continuity in the
[00:29:30] program. We're going to keep addressing
[00:29:32] this so that the deficit can keep going
[00:29:34] down. That's the trend it has and we can
[00:29:36] make America great again. No,
[00:29:41] >> several of uh Republicans in Congress
[00:29:43] have supported this uh decision by the
[00:29:45] Supreme Court and Hakeim Jeff, the
[00:29:48] Democratic leader has called you a
[00:29:49] wannabe king.
[00:29:51] >> Why would call him a low IQ?
[00:29:52] >> But why wouldn't he doesn't even know?
[00:29:55] And I watched him the other day
[00:29:56] interview. The guy doesn't even know
[00:29:57] what a tariff is.
[00:29:58] >> But there's been bipartisan criticism.
[00:30:01] Excuse me.
[00:30:01] >> There several Republicans have said
[00:30:03] that.
[00:30:03] >> Yeah. Why wouldn't you just work with
[00:30:05] Congress to come up with a plan to to
[00:30:07] push tariffs?
[00:30:08] >> I have the right to do tariffs and I've
[00:30:09] always had the right to do tariffs. It
[00:30:11] has all been approved by Congress. So
[00:30:13] there's no reason to do it. All we're
[00:30:15] doing is we're going through a little
[00:30:16] bit more complicated process. Not
[00:30:18] complicated very much, but a little more
[00:30:20] complicated than what we had. We'll be
[00:30:22] able to take in tariffs, more tariffs.
[00:30:24] And the Congress people
[00:30:26] >> down the Canadian tariffs last week.
[00:30:28] There's been votes in the Senate against
[00:30:29] it.
[00:30:30] >> Yeah. because we lost two Republicans or
[00:30:32] three Republicans because uh they're not
[00:30:35] good Republicans. What you don't say So
[00:30:37] you don't say that we had that we got
[00:30:39] 215 votes.
[00:30:41] >> You need 21 for something to pass.
[00:30:43] >> Yeah, sure we do. We might have lost
[00:30:45] three votes and we got and what was the
[00:30:48] score on the Republican side? 215 to
[00:30:50] three, right? But you don't say that. We
[00:30:52] have great unity. There's great unity in
[00:30:54] the Republican party and I hope
[00:30:55] everyone's going to vote Republican
[00:30:57] because otherwise you won't have a
[00:30:58] country left because these people have
[00:30:59] been destroying they are destroying our
[00:31:01] country. Please,
[00:31:03] >> Mr. President, uh the 122 tariffs that
[00:31:06] 10%.
[00:31:07] >> Yeah.
[00:31:07] >> Is that going to be for 150 days or do
[00:31:09] you want to charge that indefinitely?
[00:31:11] >> We have a right to do pretty much what
[00:31:13] we want to do, but we're going to charge
[00:31:14] it starting effectively I think it's 3
[00:31:16] days from now. Yeah, please. Mr.
[00:31:17] President,
[00:31:18] >> Mr. President, you speak to a lot of
[00:31:19] factory workers, a lot of manufacturing
[00:31:21] workers. What does a Supreme Court
[00:31:23] ruling say? What's that message to those
[00:31:25] factory workers?
[00:31:26] >> Well, I think the factory workers are
[00:31:28] happy because we're now telling them
[00:31:30] that they're going to Look, the man I
[00:31:33] met with yesterday who owned a factory
[00:31:35] was out of business. He was out of
[00:31:37] business. And now he's employing five
[00:31:41] times. In fact, I walked in, he's got a
[00:31:43] brand new crane, a brand I said, "How
[00:31:45] old is that crane?" We got it in
[00:31:46] December. He's allowed to write it off
[00:31:48] in one way. the the great big beautiful
[00:31:50] act gave no tax on tips, no tax on
[00:31:53] social security, no tax on overtime. He
[00:31:56] said this this great big beautiful bill,
[00:32:00] frankly, has been the best thing that's
[00:32:02] ever happened for the workers of the
[00:32:04] much more so than for rich people. The
[00:32:06] only thing it does for rich people, it
[00:32:08] allows them to hire a lot more people.
[00:32:11] But when I saw him and then he said it's
[00:32:13] all up and down the line. This is a
[00:32:15] place in Georgia all up and down other
[00:32:18] factories doing different not only steel
[00:32:20] products different. He said every one of
[00:32:22] us was out of business. We could barely
[00:32:24] make it. Some of them were down to less
[00:32:27] than an hour a week. Think of it one
[00:32:29] hour a week to make just a few little
[00:32:31] trinkets or whatever they make. Now
[00:32:34] they're going round the clock. I had it
[00:32:36] a month ago. So, I went to Michigan,
[00:32:39] went to Ford, and I met with Bill Ford,
[00:32:42] the head of Ford, and we were in one of
[00:32:44] the biggest plants, an original plant
[00:32:46] from the early 1900s, where, by the way,
[00:32:49] uh, just I might add this, it's not
[00:32:52] really relevant, but it's all relevant.
[00:32:55] Murders are down the lowest since 1900,
[00:32:59] around the time that he had this
[00:33:01] planned. That's 125 years. We have the
[00:33:03] lowest murder rate. Okay? and our crime
[00:33:06] is way down in the country. Uh the
[00:33:09] factories that we're talking about, the
[00:33:11] people that we're talking about, they
[00:33:13] are so thrilled with Trump. So whether
[00:33:15] we charge AIPA tariffs or whether we
[00:33:18] charge tariffs under a different
[00:33:19] section, that's what we're going to be
[00:33:21] doing. There's no way we can lever. This
[00:33:23] is what happened to our country. This is
[00:33:24] why we owe $ 38 trillion, which we'll
[00:33:27] get rid of in pretty good course. We
[00:33:30] have a very incompetent Fed chairman who
[00:33:35] likes high interest rates for political
[00:33:37] reasons. He likes them, but uh we're
[00:33:40] going to have somebody very good. Uh
[00:33:42] interest rates should come down very
[00:33:43] substantially. I think it I we should
[00:33:45] pay we should pay the lowest interest
[00:33:48] rates on the planet. There should be no
[00:33:50] country and we don't do that. We're
[00:33:52] number 38. This is just bad policy for a
[00:33:56] long period of time. But what's happened
[00:33:58] is we've made America strong again.
[00:34:00] We've made America great again. We
[00:34:02] should pay. As an example, uh the
[00:34:05] country of Switzerland,
[00:34:07] we were getting almost no tariffs from
[00:34:09] then. We had a $40 billion deficit and
[00:34:14] the prime minister called me up. She
[00:34:15] said, "But we are a small country."
[00:34:16] Because I said, "We're going to raise it
[00:34:17] to 39% from nothing." that would have
[00:34:21] rendered them not very successful as
[00:34:25] opposed to right now they're considered
[00:34:26] elite but if we put a tariff they would
[00:34:29] and I realized then she said but sir we
[00:34:32] are a small country I said you're a
[00:34:33] small country with a big deficit for us
[00:34:36] you're making a lot of money off the
[00:34:38] United States if we do that a lot of
[00:34:42] these elite countries they're elite
[00:34:44] because we let them make so much money
[00:34:46] and I want them to do well but I don't
[00:34:49] want them to do well on the backs of the
[00:34:52] American taxpayer. So I appreciate your
[00:34:54] question. Think it's
[00:34:58] >> President Trump, you said that you were
[00:34:59] disappointed with that, but were you
[00:35:01] surprised with his decision? What are
[00:35:03] what you felt when you
[00:35:04] >> I was surprised because I I thought that
[00:35:07] what we did was number one according to
[00:35:10] I mean I read the paragraphs. I read
[00:35:11] very well, great comprehension.
[00:35:15] Uh, I read everything there is to read
[00:35:18] and I said, "We can't lose this case."
[00:35:21] But we can when judges are political,
[00:35:23] when they want to be politically
[00:35:24] correct, when they're catering to a
[00:35:26] group of people in DC, maybe. I don't
[00:35:28] know what it is because when you read
[00:35:29] it, there's there's no other
[00:35:31] interpretation. We have there is no
[00:35:33] other interpretation.
[00:35:35] But it's okay because what has come out
[00:35:37] and I'll say it for the third time and
[00:35:39] maybe the last time in a while is that
[00:35:41] we've taken the uncertainty of tariffs
[00:35:43] out because we had uncertainty. We got
[00:35:46] sued by slebags. I know them well. Uh
[00:35:49] that are very outside country China but
[00:35:52] outside country centric. Uh and they're
[00:35:56] going to end up not doing as well as
[00:35:58] they did before. America was becoming
[00:36:01] really really we're strong again. Hey,
[00:36:04] we have the strongest military. I built
[00:36:08] I rebuilt the military in the first
[00:36:09] term. Uh we have the most powerful
[00:36:12] military. We make the best equipment.
[00:36:14] And even them, you know, we have to we
[00:36:17] could do much better. We have people
[00:36:18] that get paid a lot of money to
[00:36:20] manufacture Patriot missiles and
[00:36:22] javelins and all the different things.
[00:36:24] when you want them, they're too slow and
[00:36:27] we put them on notice and they're going
[00:36:28] to make we're our our country is is
[00:36:31] building a lot of things right now and
[00:36:33] our country is doing really well and
[00:36:35] we're going to keep it that way. Uh the
[00:36:37] bottom line is that the word certainty
[00:36:40] is now in the equation. Every single
[00:36:43] thing I said today is guaranteed
[00:36:45] certainty. It's been tested as Jameson
[00:36:49] said a thousand times literally you I
[00:36:52] said hundreds of times. He said, "Sir,
[00:36:54] actually thousands of times and one in
[00:36:56] all of the courts and we're just going
[00:36:59] back to that." And uh the problem is
[00:37:01] that we had other presidents that
[00:37:05] weren't into trade. Maybe they weren't
[00:37:08] businessoriented. Maybe they weren't
[00:37:09] smart. We had some dummies, too. You
[00:37:12] know, respectfully say we had some real
[00:37:14] dummies. So, so we are going to keep it
[00:37:18] going just as before, probably more so,
[00:37:21] but it's you're no longer going to be
[00:37:23] asked. Every time I got up, you'd ask,
[00:37:25] "Well, what happens if you can't charge
[00:37:27] tariffs?" Now, we can. And by the way,
[00:37:29] in their decision, they specifically
[00:37:31] said, "We can do these. We have
[00:37:33] alternatives." Yeah.
[00:37:36] >> On the on the trade deals that were
[00:37:38] negotiated using tariffs. Do those stand
[00:37:41] now or are they have to be redone? Some
[00:37:44] of them stand, many of them stand, some
[00:37:45] of them won't, and they'll be replaced
[00:37:47] with the other terrorists. President,
[00:37:49] >> Mr. President, the Supreme Court
[00:37:51] justices who ruled against this pol the
[00:37:54] policy striking it down, are they still
[00:37:56] invited to your State of the Union next
[00:37:58] week? And will you still speak with
[00:37:59] them?
[00:37:59] >> They are invited. Barely.
[00:38:02] >> Barely.
[00:38:05] >> Three are happily invited. No, no,
[00:38:07] they're barely they're barely invited.
[00:38:10] >> Honestly, I couldn't care less if they
[00:38:12] come. Okay.
[00:38:14] Mr. President,
[00:38:15] >> thank you Mr. President. Thank you, Mr.
[00:38:17] President. Uh on the trade uh deal which
[00:38:19] is the framework which is uh signed with
[00:38:21] to be signed with India uh sometime
[00:38:24] soon. Will that stand now? And on the
[00:38:26] decision nothing changes.
[00:38:28] >> No, nothing changes. We're they'll be
[00:38:29] paying tariffs and we will not be paying
[00:38:31] tariffs. Our deal with India is they pay
[00:38:33] tariffs. This is a reversal from what it
[00:38:35] used to be. As you know India and I
[00:38:38] think Prime Minister Modi is a great
[00:38:40] gentleman, a great man actually but uh
[00:38:43] he was uh much smarter than the people
[00:38:46] that he was against in terms of the
[00:38:48] United States. He was ripping us off and
[00:38:51] India. So we made a deal with India and
[00:38:53] it's a fair deal now and we are not
[00:38:55] paying tariffs to them and they are
[00:38:57] paying tariffs. We did a little flip
[00:39:02] are up as of now for this Mr. Mr.
[00:39:04] President,
[00:39:04] >> no, the India deal is on here.
[00:39:06] >> Mr. President,
[00:39:07] >> thank you so much, Mr. President.
[00:39:08] >> All the deals are on. Just we're just
[00:39:09] going to do it a different way.
[00:39:10] >> Mr. President,
[00:39:11] >> thank you so much, Mr. President. I
[00:39:12] think there's another war that you stop
[00:39:14] and you should take the credit which is
[00:39:15] in Syria. Secretary Rabio after his
[00:39:18] meeting in Munich with the Syrian
[00:39:20] foreign minister and the Kurdish General
[00:39:21] Muslim Abdi. He said that President
[00:39:24] Trump was directly involved in efforts
[00:39:26] to stop the fighting between the Kurds
[00:39:27] and the Syrians. How will your
[00:39:29] administration will make sure that this
[00:39:31] peace is sustained? And do you support
[00:39:33] the idea of
[00:39:34] >> Well, it's a very different topic and so
[00:39:35] I don't want to spend a lot of time, but
[00:39:37] all I can say is that the president of
[00:39:39] Syria, who I essentially put there, is
[00:39:42] doing a phenomenal job. He's a rough
[00:39:44] guy. Uh he's not a choir boy. A choir
[00:39:47] boy couldn't do it. But Syria is coming
[00:39:49] together. Really coming together well.
[00:39:52] And uh thus far, he's been very good to
[00:39:54] the Kurds. Yeah.
[00:39:57] >> Thank you.
[00:39:57] >> What's your message, Mr. President?
[00:39:58] What's your message to the Iranian
[00:40:00] people after two rounds of talks with
[00:40:01] them? Do you have any message to the
[00:40:03] Iranian people?
[00:40:04] >> The Iranian people in Iran or people
[00:40:06] here?
[00:40:06] >> People in Iran.
[00:40:07] >> Uh
[00:40:10] they better negotiate a fair deal.
[00:40:14] >> You know, the people of Iran are a lot
[00:40:16] different than the leaders of Iran. And
[00:40:18] it's very very uh very sad situation.
[00:40:22] But 32,000 people were killed over a
[00:40:26] relatively short period of time. They
[00:40:28] were going to hang 800 two weeks ago.
[00:40:30] Hang. hang some by crane. They lift them
[00:40:34] up with a tall crane and they play them
[00:40:36] around the square. They were going to
[00:40:38] hang 837 people. And I gave them the
[00:40:41] word if you hang one person, even one
[00:40:44] person, that you're going to be hit
[00:40:46] right then and there. I wasn't waiting
[00:40:48] two weeks and negotiating. And they gave
[00:40:51] up the hanging. They didn't hang 837.
[00:40:53] Supposedly, they didn't hang anybody.
[00:40:56] But no, I feel very badly for the people
[00:40:58] of Iran. They've lived like they've
[00:40:59] lived in hell. Please
[00:41:01] Mr. President, you mentioned multiple
[00:41:03] times foreign influence over the Supreme
[00:41:06] Court. Do you have evidence of that? And
[00:41:08] if not, will you investigate that?
[00:41:10] >> You're going to find out.
[00:41:12] >> What kind what alternatives are you
[00:41:14] going to put into place in your
[00:41:15] relationship with Europe? And also those
[00:41:18] tariff that has been called illegal, how
[00:41:21] going how they're going to go impact the
[00:41:23] relationship with Russia that you
[00:41:25] sanctions?
[00:41:26] >> Well, I want Europe to strengthen up.
[00:41:28] Europe has gone woke. Europe is not
[00:41:30] recognizable when you go into so many
[00:41:32] places, not all countries. You look at
[00:41:35] you look at Hungary, you look at uh
[00:41:37] Poland,
[00:41:39] Czech,
[00:41:41] uh Slovakia, there are some countries
[00:41:45] that have gone very much the opposite.
[00:41:47] Some really and some others. Uh but
[00:41:50] Europe has to be strong and they've
[00:41:52] become soft and not recognizable. You go
[00:41:56] into some of the countries, I don't want
[00:41:58] to be specific, but I think everyone
[00:41:59] knows what I'm talking about, and uh
[00:42:02] they're not recognizable. They've become
[00:42:05] the environmentalists have taken over.
[00:42:08] They've got windmills destroying their
[00:42:10] fields and their beautiful meadows and
[00:42:13] their oceans and they're paying a
[00:42:15] fortune. Uh no, Europe has to get smart.
[00:42:19] Europe's getting killed on two things:
[00:42:20] energy and immigration. And if they
[00:42:23] don't solve both of them fast, European
[00:42:26] Europe is not the same place. Yeah,
[00:42:28] please.
[00:42:29] >> Justices Forchett and and Barrett, are
[00:42:32] you surprised in particular by their
[00:42:34] decision today? And do you regret
[00:42:35] nominating them?
[00:42:36] >> I don't want to say whether or not I
[00:42:38] regret I think their decision was
[00:42:39] terrible. Yeah.
[00:42:40] >> Mr. President,
[00:42:43] >> I I think it's an embarrassment to their
[00:42:46] families. You want to know the truth?
[00:42:47] The two of them? Yeah.
[00:42:52] Mr. President, they're specifically on
[00:42:54] that $2,000 tariff check.
[00:42:55] >> Mr. President, I didn't call you. I
[00:42:57] didn't call you. Yeah, Mr. President, to
[00:42:58] be clear, do you believe at the end uh
[00:43:00] of implementing these new tariff tools,
[00:43:02] the tariff rate and tariffs will
[00:43:03] ultimately be higher than they currently
[00:43:05] are?
[00:43:05] >> Potentially higher.
[00:43:06] >> How much higher?
[00:43:07] >> Uh it depends whatever we want them to
[00:43:09] be, but we want them to be fair for
[00:43:11] other countries. And you know, we have
[00:43:12] some countries that have treated us
[00:43:14] really badly for years, and it's going
[00:43:17] to be high for them. And we have other
[00:43:18] countries that have been very good and
[00:43:20] it's going to be very reasonable for
[00:43:21] them.
[00:43:22] >> Yeah.
[00:43:23] >> Specifically on the tariffs question, I
[00:43:25] mean on the on the $2,000.
[00:43:27] >> I didn't call you.
[00:43:28] >> Mr. President, thank you, Mr. President.
[00:43:30] Do you have any plans to travel to India
[00:43:32] for the Quad Summit and how do you think
[00:43:34] your relationship with India is right
[00:43:35] now?
[00:43:36] >> I think my relationship with India is
[00:43:38] fantastic and we're doing trade with
[00:43:40] India. India pulled out of Russia. You
[00:43:42] know, India was getting uh its uh oil
[00:43:47] from Russia, right? And they pull way
[00:43:49] back at my request because we want to
[00:43:51] settle that horrible war where 25,000
[00:43:53] people are dying every month. And my
[00:43:56] relationship with Prime Minister Modi is
[00:43:59] I would say great. I also stopped the
[00:44:00] war between India and Pakistan. As you
[00:44:03] know, there were 10 10 planes we shot
[00:44:06] down. That war was going and probably
[00:44:08] going nuclear. And uh just yesterday the
[00:44:12] prime minister of Pakistan said
[00:44:14] President Trump saved 35 million lives
[00:44:18] by getting them to stop. That's uh and I
[00:44:21] did it largely with tariffs. I said look
[00:44:23] you're going to fight that's fine but
[00:44:24] you're not going to do business with the
[00:44:25] United States and you're going to pay a
[00:44:27] 200% tariff each country. And they
[00:44:31] called up and they said we have made
[00:44:33] peace. Okay.
[00:44:36] I just want to thank you all. Look,
[00:44:38] great certainty has been brought back to
[00:44:41] uh the economy of the United States and
[00:44:44] actually the economy of the world
[00:44:45] because we generate so much in the
[00:44:47] world. We're the biggest in the world
[00:44:49] and we're now the strongest by far. We
[00:44:51] were a country that was dead one and a
[00:44:53] half years ago. Now we have the hottest
[00:44:54] country in the world. We're going to
[00:44:55] keep it that way. Thank you very much
[00:44:57] everybody.
[00:44:59] >> Thank you very much.
[00:45:00] >> Thank you, Mr. President. Did
[00:45:02] >> you say 32,000 were killed in Iran, sir?
