The FDR started it, Democrat, and Reagan he's one of the historical president that have close ties with Saudi Arabia. But we work with all presidents.
President Trump Participates in a Bilateral Meeting with the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia
Does Trump blow them all away? That's on another league Mr. President. And Trump doesn't give a fist bump. I grab that hand, I don't give a hell where that hand's been, I grab that hand. When when remember Biden? He travels for 20 hours, gets out and he gives the fist bump. No, when you get out of the plane and you got the future king and a man who's one of the most respected people in the world, you shake his hand, you don't give him a fist bump. Right? We don't want to ask you about that, but I can't imagine you were thrilled. You were like a little bit surprised. He's a fantastic guy. You don't do that. Yeah, please.
We're going closer to the end of the year. Have you started the interviews for the Fed Chair?
Yes. Who have you interviewed? I think I already know my choice. Who is it? Well I liked him, but he's not going to take the job he refused. And you like Treasury better, right? Much better sir. Uh so we are talking to various people. And the I mean frankly I'd love to get the guy currently in there out right now. But people are holding me back. He's done a terrible job, hurting housing a little bit. The truth is we we've been so successful we've blown past his interest rate stupidity. He's been wrong, that's why I call him Too-Late. He's Too-Late Jerome Too-Late Powell. He was recommended to me by a guy that made a bad you know bad choice. And it's too bad. But despite that, it's having very little impact because we have, you know, we have all of these things happening. But it has an impact on housing to a certain extent. He's a fool, he's a stupid man. But we have some very good people. Yes sir. You you you'll be sitting down with them in the near future in? We have some surprising names and we have some standard names that everybody's talking about. And we may go the standard way, you know it's nice every once in a while to go politically correct. But we have some great names. Steve?
Have you talked to President Maduro of Venezuela yet or are you going into that?
No, he wants to talk. Yes sir. Yeah I'm open to talking. I talk to everybody. But no he wants to, they treated us very badly. They sent all of their prison population into the United States. And we're getting them out rapidly. But he sent all of his and he sends drugs into the United States and other things. No he treated us badly. He was dealing with a bad president and he was able to get away. We have now I think we have the strongest borders anywhere in the world. Nobody is coming in unless they come in legally. And we taken very weak borders where millions of people came in. For the last six months, I mean I don't do these reports, they say zero people have been able to come in. Is that pretty good? I don't know if that's right but it's pretty good.
Mr. President, why wait for Congress to release the Epstein files? Why not just do it now?
You know, it's not the question that I mind, it's your attitude. I think you are a terrible reporter. Uh it's the way you ask these questions. You start off with a man who is highly respected, asking him a horrible insubordinate and just a terrible question. And you could have even asked that same exact question nicely. You're all psyched up, somebody psychs you over at ABC, they're going to psych it. Uh you're a terrible person and a terrible reporter. Uh as far as the Epstein files is, I have nothing to do with Jeffrey Epstein. I threw him out of my club many years ago because I thought he was a sick pervert. But and I guess I turned out to be right. But you know who does have? Bill Clinton, a Larry Summers who ran Harvard was with him every single night, every single weekend, they lived together, they went to his island many times, I never did. Uh Andrew Weissmann I hear, all these guys were friends of his. You don't even talk about those people. You just keep going on the Epstein files. Now what the Epstein is is a Democrat hoax to try and get me not to be able to talk about the $21 trillion that I talked about today. It's a hoax. Now I just got a little report and I put it in my pocket of all the money that he's given to Democrats. He gave me none, zero, no money to me. But he gave money to Democrats. And people are wise to your hoax and ABC's your company, you're a crappy company, you're one of the the perpetrators. And I'll tell you something, I'll tell you something. Why not just sign it now? I think the license should be taken away from ABC because your news is so fake and it's so wrong. And we have a great commissioner, the chairman who should look at that because I think when you come in and when you're 97% negative to Trump and then Trump wins the election in a landslide, that means obviously your news is not credible and you're not credible as a reporter. So I've answered your question. You should go and look at the Democrats who received money from Epstein, who spent their time. Larry Summers was was with him all the time. That creep of the fund guy was with him all the time. What's his name? Reid Hoffman. Who? Reid Hoffman. I don't know Reid Hoffman, but I know he spends a lot of money on the radical left. Reid Hoffman in my opinion should be under investigation. He's a sleazebag and those are the people but they don't get any press, they don't get any news and you're not after the radical left because you're a radical left network. But I think the way you ask a question with the anger and the meanness is terrible. You're going to go back and learn how to be a reporter. No more questions from you. Who else has a question?
Crown Prince, very quickly, I want to ask you how much money is Saudi Arabia giving for Gaza reconstruction?
We we are in discussion about that, still there is no amount being being named, but but we will definitely help.
Yeah he's going to it's very important to him.
And a quick follow-up. Uh the international security force, given your pledge there would be no US boots on the ground, what is the US role going to be in that and how do you sort of ratify the allegations that this could undermine Palestinian sovereignty and even the path to statehood?
I think we're going to get along great with the Palestinians and we you know we know their leadership. We just had a very you hate to say war, but it was a war. Very, very successful and you could say really it was on behalf of everybody. We did that on behalf of everybody. And the outcome was extraordinary because we had the best pilots, the best equipment, the best planes, the best everything. And Israel bought the best equipment, they bought it from us. Everything's from us. It all starts here. This office, I was talking to the Crown Prince a little while ago, you walk into this office for somebody from the outside, the Oval Office. It's the most powerful place in the world. You're standing right now in the most powerful place in the world. And no matter how big you are, these are the biggest people, the richest people, they walk into this office, it's special, isn't it? Look at him, he's so happy to be here. But you walk into this office, it's the Oval Office. Uh and we've done a lot of good with this office. I've stopped actually eight wars. I appreciated your question before, but I've actually stopped eight wars. I have another one to go with Putin. I'm a little surprised that Putin is taking longer than I thought. But we stopped India-Pakistan, we I could go through the list, you know the list better than I do. I'm very proud. And I stopped one that was almost ready to start again. You know there was one that was ready to start and and they're doing and they're doing very well. So it all took place right here in the Oval Office. Whether by telephone or what whether by they came in. Many of these leaders have come in and you know they signed their peace deals right here in the Oval Office. So no matter if it's the biggest business people in the world or the greatest leaders in the world, the biggest leaders in the world, like the gentleman on my right, everybody walks into the Oval Office and they say wow. And now by the way the Oval Office is in the kind of condition that it should be in. Whether you look at the walk or the marble floors or anything down the road, we're fixing the White House and we're building the one of the greatest ballrooms ever to be built. You know we have an event tonight and we're going to have about 118 people because we have a very small room. For 150 years they've wanted a ballroom and now you're going to get a great ballroom. And I have to say, I probably made a lot of enemies because in your honor we're having a dinner tonight, a beautiful dinner tonight. And we have a very small room, right? It's called the East Room and it's beautiful, it's lovely, but it's like for a little cocktail before you go into a ballroom. It's a very small room. They've wanted a new ballroom for 150 years. We could have sold the big ballroom out three times in honor of this gentleman. So I made a lot of enemies because I have a lot of people that aren't invited tonight or are unable to come because of the size constraint. But you know what we'll do before I leave office we'll have another dinner because we'll have it ready long before I leave office and it's going to be beautiful. It's it's you know it's a very popular thing what we're doing. And by the way, no government funds, it's all put up by private money, all private money. And in the case I think it's there's a restriction on foreigners, otherwise I could have asked you for a check, okay? But there's a restriction. These are all private individuals have put up a lot of money to build the ballroom, not one penny is being used from the federal government. So it's really a nice thing. But I look forward to it. I just wanted to point it out. This would be a perfect night to have that ballroom open, Suzy. If we had that open, we'd have a lot of people very happy. Right now we have a lot of unhappy people because they all want to be with us tonight to honor this great man. Thank you all very much. Thank you, Mr. President. Thank you, Mr. President. Thank you, Mr. President.
