President Trump, clarify, we've seen countries around the world, many of whom don't usually work together, working with the United States on Iran, whether it's, you know, Saudi Arabia working with the United States, Israel, Qatar shooting down Iranian aircraft, and we've also seen European countries step up. Why are we seeing, you know, such unity around the world against Iran?
That's a great point. I look, they're just evil. It's not the politics, it's their whole philosophy, it's their whole where they come from. It's it's it's terrible. Where they kill 35,000, I thought it was 32, now it turns out it's much more than 35,000 people. And in some cases using machine guns with people that have no that have no weapon. They have no weapon and they're being machine gunned, they're being sniper from buildings, they're hitting the people with snipers right through the eyes. It's just a very evil ideology. And nobody's really seen anything like it. And as I said even the fact that they've attacked all of their neighbors. And the neighbors weren't attacking. They thought that maybe sit it out or what they've they've they've hit Qatar, they've hit UAE, they've hit Saudi Arabia, they've hit Oman with they were helping this negotiate, they got hit. Everybody got hit because they're evil and they're bad. It's a it's a bad seed. And somebody had to do it. And it should have been done sometime during a 47 year period because so much death has been caused by them. So much unbelievable death. From Germany too from I mean, Germany's been hit, everybody's been hit by them. It's an evil ideology. And I've never been I look, I've done a lot of good things. So many people are saying thank you, thank you, thank you. You see it in the streets of Los Angeles, they have thousands of people. I saw it the other day pictures of Donald Trump. And I'm looking, I'm on the phone probably talking to you, and I'm looking and I see my picture. I say, oh no, it's another you know, protest. I see my picture. And then I start to say, boy, they're very friendly people. And then I saw a woman hugging the picture of me. I say what's going on? And it turned out to be these are Iranian people that live in the United States. So many, so many. You saw the the rallies. And in New York too they had a big rally, my pictures all over the place. The fact is that people are happy what we did. And you could never and I've always said it you could never have had true peace in the Middle East if Iran was allowed to go even beyond the nuclear. If Iran was allowed to have all the look at all the missiles they built. A lot have been now taken out by us and a lot have been expended. But they had thousands of missiles in a fairly short period of time. Um and I'll go two things. Uh the attack that we did known as Midnight Hammer, had we not done that, Iran would have had a very powerful nuclear weapon within one month. We did it, was great timing, but you know and you've been able to see that too. Uh the other thing was Barack Hussein Obama made maybe the worst deal I've ever seen because he gave all power in the Middle East to Iran. He went the exact opposite way. And I terminated that deal. If I didn't terminate that deal, they would be sitting with a massive nuclear weapon three years ago, which would have been used already on Israel at least and other countries also. And we wouldn't be talking about it right now. But if I didn't terminate the uh the deal that Obama made giving them everything and including plane loads of cash. Do you remember the airplane flew over there? It was a Boeing 757, there was two of them, loaded they took out all the seats. It was loaded with green cash. So much cash that you could it was in Virginia, Maryland, and Washington D.C. They got all the cash from all the banks, they put it and they flew it to Iran. I never knew a president had that power. I'm going to maybe try it sometime if it's okay. I think I'm going to do it. I'll fly it somewhere. Nobody's ever seen anything like it. Two planes loaded from floor to ceiling, big planes, Boeing 757s taken over there and given cash. In addition that he was giving them billions of dollars, but worse he was giving them the right to have the path to a nuclear weapon. And that deal expired. A lot of people said oh you terminate it, well it was going to be terminated anyway because it expired. It gave them the right to have top of the line nuclear weapon. If they had because they're crazy, they're crazy. Just like the people on my right during the State of the Union. I looked at them I say you're crazy. These people are crazy. And if they had a nuclear weapon they would have used it. All right how about one or two more?
Chancellor Martz, you just heard that the president is thinking about punishing Spain. What are your thoughts spontaneously on this and what can you do to...
Well the the answer on that is quite simple. We are trying to convince Spain to catch up with the 3% at or 3.5% which we agreed on in NATO and as the president said, it's correct. Spain is the only one who is not willing to accept that and we are trying to convince them that this is a part of our common security that we all have to comply with this numbers and this is 3.5 for military and another 1.5 for our military infrastructure. So Spain has to comply with that.
They've been very Spain has been very uncooperative. And so has UK. Now the second one is shocking but this is not the age of Churchill. I will say the uh UK has been very very uncooperative with that stupid island that they have that they gave away and took a 100 year lease having to do with perhaps indigenous people claiming the island that never even saw the island before. What's that all about? And uh they they ruin relationships. It's a shame. It's uh and and that country UK and I love that country. I love it. My mother was born there. I love it. My mother was born there, my father was born right he knows all about my father. My father was born there so you know places that you sort of automatically very very feel warmly about. But the UK what what they're doing with energy and what they're doing with immigration is horrible. You have the North Sea. Somebody said yesterday what would you do if you were the UK? Open up the North Sea. They got windmills all over the place that are ruining the country, ruining the landscapes, ruining the beautiful fields. Open up the North Sea, it's one of the greatest think of it. They buy their energy from Norway which gets the energy the oil from the North Sea. So Norway drills in the North Sea and sells it to UK. And UK has a better part of the North Sea. Open up that and number two illegal immigration they got to solve that problem. And I must say uh that's not only UK, that that's other parts of the European Union that have the same problem. Immigration and energy. The energy is through the roof, the highest in the world and the immigration is I mean you know look you have you have places where in the UK you have a terrible mayor of London terrible he's an incompetent guy. But you have Sharia courts. You don't have Sharia courts you don't want Sharia courts you have Sharia courts adjudicating law. So it's very simple. Immigration very importantly immigration and energy and you bring it back. Otherwise you're not going to bring it back. Okay one more.
Chancellor Martz, you've called for unity and joint force in this moment against Iran. What does that look like to you? And then Mr. President, where is getting a deal with Russia and Ukraine on your priority list right now?
Okay, you go ahead. So we as I said in Germany the last two days, we are supporting the United States and Israel to get rid of this terrible terrorist regime. And we are looking forward to a day after. And we have to talk about the strategy what is what is following after this this regime is away and and we have to strategize on this entire region. And we are having a high interest in common approach and common work and what we can do. And this is this is important not just for the Americans. This is extremely important for Europe and extremely important for Israel and their their security. So we are really looking forward to find ways how to deal about the day after.
And as far as Russia Ukraine where is it on my priority list? Very high. Uh we thought that uh I thought it was going to be one of the easier ones. I've settled eight wars and actually maybe one more than that. But minimum eight wars big ones potential India Pakistan big big wars very important big ones. I thought this was going to be much easier than it is. It's very there's tremendous hatred between President Putin and President Zelensky, tremendous hatred. And I've seen a lot of hatred in my life but I think this is about top scale. Uh I believe it's going to happen. Uh sometimes I blame one, sometimes I blame the other. I think it's going to happen. But it's high on my list. Uh not in that it affects the United States so much because it's very far away. But last week I just see last week and for the last four weeks actually uh 32,000 soldiers died. 32,000. And it's been averaging 25 to 30,000 soldiers a month have been dying in that stupid war. And I'd love to see it end. It it's the worst that there has been since World War II.
If you can't get a deal, what will that mean for you?
Uh all you can do is do your best you know takes two to tango and they have to get along they have to be able to talk to each other they uh they hate each other a lot. That has an impact you know it's really has an impact it's bad for both. The saddest is that if the election weren't rigged my election that war would have never taken place. And you know what else wouldn't have taken place? Allowing 25 million people to pour through an open border. That wouldn't have taken place. A lot of things would have been different. But uh but we're doing very well and I think a big big factor in this world and future factor is what we're doing right now with Iran. If uh if we don't stop them or if we didn't stop them or if we didn't start uh they've been decimated. But if we didn't do what we're doing right now you would have had a nuclear war and they would have taken out many countries because you know what? They're sick people. They're mentally ill sick people. They're angry they're crazy they're sick. Thank you very much. Thank you very much everybody. Thank you. Thank you everybody. Thank you. See you guys. Thank you. See you guys out there. See you. We'll be on the steps.
