Mr. President! Mr. President, another legacy story lately focuses on one of your cabinet members predicting you're going to fire this one or you're going to get rid of that one. Of all your cabinet members, who would you perceive as the most under attack?
Well, I I think my cabinet's fantastic. I read the same stories that I'm unhappy with this one or that one, and I'm not. I think the cabinet's done a great job. Uh I read a story that I was unhappy with Pete because he was attacking drug dealers. I said that's not exactly right. I would say very much the opposite. Pete Hegseth has been phenomenal. Uh I read a story recently I'm unhappy with Kristi. I'm so happy with her. I mean we have a closed we have a border that's the best border in the history of our country. Why would I be unhappy? She's fantastic, actually. No, we have a fantastic cabinet. Really fantastic cabinet. I mean Lutnick I'll have to think about, no. Can't have everything. Can't have everything. He's doing great. Well, Howard's done really well and Scott's done really well. We have just a fantastic cabinet. Uh I'll tell you who's doing a great job is Linda McMahon. We're bringing education back to the states where it belongs. Education is going we can't do any worse than we're doing right now. Let the states run it. You know, if you go back to some of our states that are run so well, so good, uh I would say 40 of them, and then you'll have trouble with five and you have bigger trouble with another five. But you have 35 or 40 states that will run education as good as Norway or Denmark, Sweden. Uh we have uh some, you know, the heads of the list are Denmark, Norway, Sweden, a few others. Uh I think if you go to Iowa and you go to Indiana and you go to I can name uh a lot of states. I think it would be almost the equivalent or maybe better. But you can't run a school system in Iowa from Washington DC. Yeah.
Sir! Sir, the the Gaza plan, when do you expect to announce the members of the board of peace, the leadership for that?
Well, we'll do it early next year. Early, and the board of peace are going to it'll be one of the most legendary boards ever. Everybody wants to be on it. It's mostly going to be, I guess, you know, we weren't thinking about it that way, but they want to all do it. Uh basically it'll be the heads of the most important countries. They all want to be on. It wasn't really planned, we you know we thought we're going to get very distinguished people that do that kind of thing for a living. But really, it looks like it's turning out to be they they want to be on, the heads, the kings, the presidents, prime ministers, they all want to be on the board of peace.
Mr. President! One follow-up to last night's rally. Can you clarify, you have called the affordability crisis as a Democrat hoax, but you also want to make America affordable again? Can you explain that?
No, the the word that they use is a hoax because they're the ones that caused the problem. I'm only No, I'm talking about when you, you know, you're trying to say it a different way. Now, it's pretty simple though if you listen. Uh it's a hoax where they created the problem. They're the ones that gave the high prices. So when they use the word affordability, they shouldn't be using that word because they're the ones that created this problem. Uh they created the highest inflation in history and they created the highest prices in history. And now we have to get those things But what they go they look and they say affordability, they never discuss it, they just say the election's about affordability. Well, it may very well be. I think it's also about still the border. You have to remember the job, you know, the sad thing is uh for seven months we've had no people come through our border. Nobody can even believe it. Zero people. And the people that do that are largely Democrats, which the people that do the stats. Uh we've had no people come in other than coming in legally. Um but if you take a look and nobody wants to talk about that. In fact, last night I said let me talk about the border, and my own people told me sir, nobody cares about the border anymore, you've fixed the problem. I said do I get a little credit for fixing a disaster where millions of people a month would flow into our country and, you know, from prisons and from gangs and from drug dealers and everything mental institutions. They say sir, you fixed the border, nobody cares. I say but I care. It's sad when you fix something and then you can't even use it, you can't talk about it, they my own people don't want to talk about it anymore. But uh the here very simply, the Democrats created the worst crisis of inflation that this country's ever had, and with that came the highest prices that we've ever had, and I'm fixing it.
Mr. President! Has Secretary Hegseth told you why he hasn't released the video of the second strike?
No, he hasn't told me. I thought that issue was dead, I'm surprised you bring it up. You must be you must be CNN. Are you CNN? Are you CNN? I am CNN. Oh, so you I'm shocked to find out. The lawmakers are still talking about it on the Hill. Well, I'll tell you, I don't know about lawmakers. Which lawmakers are you talking about? Democrats. You're talking about Democrats. Just the Democrats are talking about trying to release it. You mean the people that uh you work for, the Democrats? You know you work for the Democrats, don't you? You're basically an arm of the Democrat Party. Uh thank you very much, everybody. I appreciate it. Thank you. Thank you very much.
