Yes, it shows the radical left Democrats priorities when they decide to go out and protest a detention center where we're housing rapists, child predators, murderers, drug dealers and they choose Memorial Day of all the days of all the time to go protest something that they say that they're that it's because they're on a hunger strike when there was only a handful of individuals that was refusing to eat because they want their ethnic group or their ethnic right food. Well, they can go back to their country and get whatever food they want. The fact is we're giving them the calories they want. This isn't Holiday Inn. We're giving them sanitation. But for the Democrats to and the Governor, like Governor Shero and Senator Kim and Senator Booker to go out and do something like this of all the days is very frustrating. And there and we see Antifa signs are literally out there. The local police refusing, literally refusing to respond. They barricaded not allowing our employees to come in and out. ICE has to go out there remove the barricade and then you have one of the senators complain because he got splattered with a with a, you know, pepper ball. I'm sorry, you probably shouldn't have been there.
President Trump Participates in a Cabinet Meeting, May 27, 2026 2026-05-27 16:18
You know one thing I'll say about that, the local police. I know a lot of the New Jersey police, they're phenomenal. They love us. But they're told not to do anything. They love us. They love him. They even love me, a lot. And I'm in New Jersey a lot, it's great. I mean, I think it's a great place. It's got a group of people running it now that have it's a hard time. But they really they really like this administration. They love this administration more than any administration they've ever had and they're thanking me all the time and you know, I see those I see those guys going up and down the Jersey Turnpike with their big beautiful hats on. I say I'd like to look like that someday. You know, they're great. No, these are great people and they love him and they love ICE and they love the Border Patrol and they're not allowed to talk to anybody. It's like but it all comes from the top. They have to follow orders, they want to keep their jobs.
Mr. President, are you expecting Congress to pass a federal gas tax holiday?
A gas tax holiday? Well, it's something we might talk about. Let's see what happens over the next week, two weeks. A lot of good things are happening.
Are you going to the game next week?
No, I I was invited to the I was going to go on Wednesday but they closed it out very quickly, they're great. And Jim Dolan's great guy, he's as you know, owns and in charge of Madison Square Garden. He's having a good year. Boy, what a team. They won all their games, they really they have some great players. I think I'll be going to one of the games, yeah, I was invited by numerous people and Jim and I think I'll be going. It's great, great to see it. You know, the Knicks have the Knicks have the Knicks have really they've really suffered for years and and they're doing right they're doing right now very well.
Would you accept an agreement with Iran that just calls for further talks on the uranium or is the only option a final?
No, the basics. No, I would for some of it, you know, because it's a memorandum of understanding for speed. One of the things that will happen is the straight will open immediately, immediately. But it's got to be perfect. I'm not going to do this I didn't do this to get a crummy agreement. The worst agreement ever signed was by Barack Hussein Obama. What a horrible agreement that was. It it was a setback for this country, for the whole world. The Middle East would have blown itself up. No, and we'd like to have the countries we're talking about with Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar and the others, we'd like to have them immediately join the and Steve Witkoff is working on that with Jared and some others, but we'd like to have them join the Abraham Accords. It'll be historic if they do it and we I think they I think they owe that to us, to be honest. I think because that really would be a tremendous sign. And I think those countries owe it to us.
Steve, are you going to get them to sign?
I'm not sure I'm not sure we should make the deal if they don't sign, you want to know the truth. If they don't sign to join the Abraham Accords, I don't know that we, you know, we have countries in there already. UAE, great, great countries, bold countries. And it's turned out to be so good, so effective. And so we're, you know, requesting strongly that they they join. It'll be great it'll be great for Saudi Arabia, it'd be great for Qatar and Kuwait, the whole group.
So the Iran deal might be contingent on more countries joining?
I don't know, I don't want to say that. I'm not going to give you, you know, what's contingent, what's not. I can say that we can make a good deal right now, but maybe not a great deal and if it's not a great deal we're not making it. Because we can make a great deal with this guy right here and but it's, you know, it's a lot nastier. Probably wouldn't go as quickly, you know, wouldn't be talking about as quickly, but it would be foolproof. But I think we're doing very well. Steve, I think we're doing pretty well in terms of the negotiation but we'll see. If it's not going to be a real deal because Obama had that horrible JCPOA, whatever it was, it was the worst deal. It it was a path for Iran to have a nuclear weapon very quickly. Years ago they would have had a nuclear weapon. We might not be here talking about it right now. They would have had a nuclear weapon. And frankly, Obama picked the wrong country. He should have picked another country. I won't tell you what it was, but he picked the wrong country when he picked Iran. But we have things understood now with Iran, it's been nasty, they've lost their leaders, they've lost and it really is regime change. You know, we didn't set out for regime change. But by the fact that we're dealing with a totally different group of people that we were at the beginning. And frankly, I find them to be much more reasonable, I actually find them to be smarter, but I find them to be much more reasonable. This is regime change. One regime is gone, another regime is gone, we're dealing with the third. Pieces of it because some of them are gone too. And I find them I think how can you have a stronger regime change than that, you know? So I do find that. I'd like to thank you all very much. We're doing great, our country is doing fantastically well and this group of people is outstanding. Thank you all very much.
