President Trump Makes an Announcement, Dec. 3, 2025

I don't know what they have but whatever they have we'd certainly release no problem. You know we stopped every boat we knock out we save 25,000 American lives. That's right. That's right. And if you look at our if you look at our numbers uh the drugs coming in through sea are down 91 percent. I'm I'm surprised there's 9 percent you want to. I don't know who's who's doing the 9 percent but it's down 91 and we're going to start very soon on land and I'm sure you're thrilled to hear that.

So Mr. on Ukraine um Steve Wickoff and Jared Kushner were there last night with Vladimir Putin. Can you give us an update about those talks it sounds from what the Kremlin is saying that they're not going to compromise. Can you tell us what you think?

I don't know what the Kremlin's doing I can tell you that they had a reasonably good meeting with President Putin we're going to find out. Uh it's a war that should have never been started it's a war if I were president we had a rigged election if I were president that war would have never happened. It's a terrible thing but I thought they had a very good meeting yesterday with uh President Putin we'll see what happens it's uh you know when I was in this office and I talked about no cards I said you have no cards that was the time to settle I thought that would have been a much better time to settle. But they in their wisdom decided not to do that they have a lot of things against them right now. But uh you have President Putin had a very good meeting yesterday with Jared Kushner and with Steve Wickoff. Uh what comes out of that meeting I can't tell you because it does take two to tango you know Ukraine uh I think we have something pretty well worked out with them they're very satisfied considering but the sad part is if I were president no war would have ever happened they would have had 100 percent of their territory nothing would have happened it's a very sad situation. So think of this last month 27,000 soldiers 27 that's like you take a stadium a football stadium not an arena and you cut it in half 27,000 people died young mostly young soldiers died last month in one month. And that's the only reason I'm involved you know we're not spending any money in the war we're selling to NATO uh we're not being ripped off like we were under Biden Biden was uh handing everybody everything we had giving them giving them all the missiles everything they wanted free no charge oh just he had no idea what he was doing. Uh they're paying top dollar full price for everything goes to NATO and then NATO distributes it NATO pays us. So we're not it's not money we would all I think I could speak for everyone behind here uh the politicians I know and the auto manufacturers are good people they don't want to see 27,000 people die for no reason whatsoever and that's the only reason I'm trying to help yeah please.

Mr. President switching to Venezuela for a second um have you checked back with President Maduro? um is your pressure campaign working and do you think he will how's your response coming from him?

You tell me is it working it's not pressure campaign it's much beyond that I think but uh I spoke to him briefly just told him a couple of things uh we'll see what happens with that. Venezuela sends us drugs but Venezuela sends us people that they shouldn't be sending they sent us they emptied their prisons into our country they sent us killers murderers they sent us uh drug dealers at the highest level they sent us gang members they sent us people from their mental institutions they emptied their mental institutions into our country uh and so did other countries because we had stupid people running this country really stupid people. And I think probably some stupid ones and you had some smart ones but they were bad people too because nobody not all of them was stupid you can't cheat on elections like they did and be stupid okay.

Mr. President Mr. President did you ultimate- Did you talk to him a second time or just that one time?

What's that? To Maduro did you speak to him again? [46:53] No I didn't.

When you spoke with Mr. Wickoff and with Mr. Kushner last night did they give you the sense that President Putin still wants to end the war still wants to make peace?

He would like to end the war that's what they that was their impression. Now whether or not you know uh that was their impre- you know their impression was that they'd like to he would like to see the war ended I think he'd like to get back to dealing a more normal life I think he'd like to be trading with the United States of America frankly instead of you know losing thousands of soldiers a week. Uh but their impression was very strongly that he'd like to make a deal we'll see what happens.

Mr. President Mr. President in the boat strike if it is found that survivors were actually killed while clinging onto that boat should Secretary Hegseth Admiral Bradley or others be punished?

I think you're going to find that this is war that these people were killing our people by the millions actually if you look over a few years. I think last year we lost close to 300,000 people were killed. That's not mentioning all the families have you seen what happens with the families of not only the people killed the people that are trying to get their son or their daughter off of this poison that they've been fed? I think you're going to find that there's a uh very receptive ear to doing exactly what they're doing taking out those boats and very soon we're going to start doing it on land too because we know every route we know every house we know where they manufacture this crap we know where they put it all together and I think you're going to see it very soon on land also yeah please.

So to be clear you support the decision to kill survivors after the event?

No I support the decision to knock out the boats and whoever is uh piloting those boats most of them are gone but whoever piloting those boats uh they guilty of trying to kill people in our country. Yeah please.

The House Judiciary Committee has subpoenaed Jack Smith to ask about his investigation of you I wondered for a deposition I wondered if you'd prefer to see that as a hearing so that the American public can see the questions and the responses more easily.

I'd rather see it probably at a hearing look Jack Smith is a thug he's a uh a failed prosecutor. He's a bad man he's a bad he's an evil man he hurt a lot of people forget about me. You know I do this stuff but uh I got indicted many times by a guy that they were dismissed. Uh it's a bad guy he's a sick man there's something wrong with him actually I think Jack Smith is a sick man there's something really wrong with him I'd rather see him testify publicly because there's no way he can answer the questions but Biden knew this was going along Kamala knew it was going along and there's a lot of things happening right now that they don't like. One of the things is the auto pen. Uh everything he signed almost with the exception of the pardon of his wonderful son Hunter one just about everything he signed was not signed by him. He had no knowledge of it, he didn't know what it was. People sitting around the beautiful resolute desk knew exactly what it was and those people uh are guilty in my opinion of a major crime everything that was signed by that auto pen he the man operating the auto pen and I'm sure there are more than one because I think some of the people can operate it themselves some of the high level people operated it themselves they would just go in and sign his name with an auto pen onto very important documents not only pardons but policy maybe cafe standards okay as an example who signed cafe? if you ask biden what's a cafe standard? he would have absolutely no idea he'd say where is a cafe located? The guy didn't know anything look that just shows you what a rigged election can be but you you understand what I'm saying thank you very much Mr. President. [50:44] I did with Jensen. Right so smart man.

In your conversations with him have you kind of given a sense of where you are with export controls and the types of chips that Nvidia can give to China?

He knows he knows very well as he's done an amazing job Nvidia very good. Yeah.

Mr. President when do you expect for phase two of the Gaza peace plan to be implemented?

Well it's going along well you know they had a problem today I understand with a bomb that went off and hurt some people pretty badly probably killed some people they tell me it just happened. But it's going under- we had peace in the Middle East people don't realize it we have tremendous support 59 countries there's tremendous support. Uh but we'll phase two's moving along yeah it's going to happen pretty soon.

Mr. President Mr. President um did you speak with House Republican leadership about your decision to pardon Congressman Henry Cuellar and are you concerned that you made a vulnerable Democrat perhaps less vulnerable with that decision?

It didn't matter though he was uh he's a respected person. He was treated very badly because he said that people should not be allowed to pour into our country and he was right he didn't like open borders he didn't he he was on the border you know he represents very respected man. Uh he he represents the people on the border and he saw what was happening and as soon as he made that statement I then said I'll bet he gets indicted and that's what happened you know I put out my truth from that well I did a truth wonderful truth we love truth but what happened is uh he got indicted for speaking the truth and his wife got indicted Imelda. And that's sort of a first usually they leave the wives alone right don't they Congressman? Ted typically they indict somebody put him in jail for the rest of his life but the wife can just sit home and cry or she'll find a new man you know a lot of times they find a new man makes them much happier. Go ahead.

Mr. President thank you uh the mayor of Minneapolis Jacob Frey is saying that he's actually proud to have the largest Somali community in the country and his police- Well then he's a fool.

Well then he's a fool I wouldn't be proud to have the largest Somali- look at their nation look how bad their nation is it's not even a nation it's just a people walking around killing each other look. Uh these Somalis have taken billions of dollars out of our country they've taken billions and billions of dollars. They have a representative Ilhan Omar who they say married her brother that's a fraud she tries to deny it now but you can't really deny it because you know it just happened. Uh she shouldn't be allowed to be a congresswoman and I'm sure people are looking at that and she should be thrown the hell out of our country and most of those people many they have destroyed Minnesota okay? Minnesota you have an incompetent governor you have a crooked governor he's crooked as hell but he's incompetent. Uh Walz is he he should be ashamed that beautiful land that beautiful state it's a hell hole right now and the Somalis should be out of here they've destroyed our country and all they do is complain complain complain you have her she's always talking about the constitution provides me with uh go back to your own country and figure out your constitution all she does is complain about this country and without this country she would not be in very good shape she probably wouldn't be alive right now so Somalia considered by many to be the worst country on earth I don't know I've ne- I haven't been there I won't be there anytime soon I hope but uh what Somalia and what the Somali people have done to Minnesota is is not even believable it's not even believable and a lot of it starts with the governor a lot of it starts with Barack Hussein Obama because that's when people started coming in and you have to have people come in that are going to love our country cherish our country they want to kiss our country goodnight they talk about our country we want them to pray for our country this is not the people living in Minnesota and she's a disaster she should not and her friends should be allowed frankly they shouldn't even be allowed to be congress people okay? They shouldn't even be allowed to be congress people because they don't represent the interests of our country anyone else?

Mr. President Mr. President on the Somali immigrants- the automakers spent billions on meeting the Biden EV roles should they be able to recoup that somehow given that the change and there's a question about the Biden- No.

No. I'm not letting them recoup they're going to do just fine. You know how they recoup? from this point forward they'll do very well. Can you also talk about USMCA and what you're thinking about renegotiating that with the automakers? Well we're you know that's just an ongoing thing. Uh it expires in about a year and we'll either let it expire or we'll maybe work out another deal with Mexico and Canada but uh look Mexico and Canada have taken advantage of the United States like just about every other country in all fairness it's not them I'm not blaming them. Uh but every country because we had stupid people running our country we had a lot of stupid people running that's why we have 38 trillion dollars in debt but the beautiful thing about the tariffs is we'll start paying off that debt the money coming in they're finding money in our country now that they never knew existed. The other day 30 billion dollars where did it come from? I said why don't you check the tariff shelf. They said sir that tariff hasn't started yet it doesn't start till January. I said no it started two months ago. They call back sir you're right it was from tariffs. No we we have a whole different country I hope the Supreme Court I pray that the Supreme Court understands the importance of uh this sensible really I mean this would be country threatening if something happened with regard to that. You know the people that brought that case are bad people they're very bad people. They hate our country they represent foreign countries. Including China but they represent and China's paying us a lot of money now in tariffs but uh they represent people that really don't like our country much and I know some of them and they're scum in my opinion they're scum. They're absolute scum. And they're not suing for any good reason they're just suing to see if they can stop it because they make money if this country does badly you know? So but we're taking in trillions of dollars. We're stopping wars. We have great national security because of tariffs and then to think that we have to even go and justify this. The reason a lot of these people I can tell you this maybe we would have had the political people we wouldn't have these people without tariffs. The people that are up here from Stellantis and Ford and General Motors great companies including this gentleman right they wouldn't be here today if we didn't have tariffs they'd be building their plants in Mexico and other places. They're leaving Mexico and they're leaving Canada. They're leaving because they ripped off our country they took our businesses away from us and now because of tariffs they're all coming back so it's a great thing thank you very much everybody thank you.
