00:00:00
This room needs no introduction. We're
00:00:02
in the Oval Office and
00:00:05
we're here to speak with President Trump
00:00:07
about all the changes and improvements
00:00:09
he's made to the White House. If you
00:00:11
look at before and after photos, which
00:00:12
I'm sure we'll put on the screen, the
00:00:14
oval looked kind of drab before
00:00:16
President Trump gave it a little bit of
00:00:17
a makeover here. And we'll talk to him
00:00:20
about all the changes he's made, some of
00:00:21
these paintings he's added, the artwork,
00:00:23
and then we'll go out and you're going
00:00:25
to see the rose garden patio as well.
00:00:27
I'm going all in.
00:00:28
All right, besties. I think that was
00:00:30
another epic discussion. People love the
00:00:33
interviews. I could hear him talk for
00:00:34
hours. Absolutely. He crushed your
00:00:37
questions in a minute. We are giving
00:00:38
people ground truth data to underwrite
00:00:40
your own opinion. What do you guys
00:00:41
think? That was fun. That was great.
00:00:43
What's going on?
00:00:45
This is the Oval Office for everybody.
00:00:47
And I said I'd do this for David in the
00:00:50
group. This is three outstanding people
00:00:52
that really understand uh I guess you
00:00:54
could say the world of Silicon Valley
00:00:56
and beyond, way beyond. And we're very
00:00:59
proud of what's happened. And David said
00:01:02
to me, "Would you mind giving a little
00:01:03
tour of the Oval Office because it is
00:01:06
the most important office, I would say,
00:01:09
anywhere in the world. People come,
00:01:10
kings and queens and the biggest
00:01:13
business people in the world, most
00:01:14
important people in the world, and they
00:01:16
they look at this and they say, "Wow,
00:01:19
that's the Oval Office. They want time
00:01:21
to digest it. And this is the new and
00:01:24
improved Oval Office because I had
00:01:28
little time and we did a lot of things
00:01:30
that were good. Uh it had very few
00:01:33
pictures. Now it has a lot of pictures
00:01:34
and they came from the vault. Uh the
00:01:37
vaults downstairs where they have
00:01:39
thousands actually of pictures,
00:01:41
beautiful paintings, some of them in the
00:01:44
uh in the vault for over a hundred
00:01:46
years. And we searched out and we got a
00:01:49
lot. That's an original George
00:01:51
Washington. Another George Washington as
00:01:54
Abraham Lincoln, the original.
00:01:57
And uh that's Ulysius Srant, his
00:01:59
favorite general. And I would say a
00:02:01
great general and a okay president,
00:02:05
right? He gets higher marks as as a
00:02:07
general. But these are all originals.
00:02:10
That's an original George Washington.
00:02:12
Also, we modernize it a little bit with
00:02:14
FDR. That's a very important painting.
00:02:17
FDR.
00:02:18
Yeah. Did you pick these yourself? M
00:02:19
I picked them all. Yeah, I picked them
00:02:21
all. They were in the vaults for in some
00:02:24
cases, I mean, not in the case of FDR,
00:02:26
but in the case of many of them. They
00:02:28
were in the vaults for many over a
00:02:30
hundred years. Uh Thomas Jefferson, as
00:02:33
you see, you look, we put a couple of
00:02:35
non-presidents.
00:02:37
Ben Franklin, I think, qualified, right?
00:02:39
Absolutely. He was in your world a
00:02:40
little bit. He was
00:02:41
He was Treasury Secretary,
00:02:42
but he was also pretty good inventor,
00:02:45
right? He was he was a lot of things. So
00:02:48
he certainly qualified. We have over
00:02:50
here we have Ronald Reagan. We took from
00:02:52
actually the lobby of the building. Put
00:02:54
him up here.
00:02:55
David Saxs has that same portrait.
00:02:59
It's a good It's a good portrait. He's a
00:03:01
great guy. This is Monroe of the Monroe
00:03:03
Doctrine in the middle. And you have
00:03:06
Andrew Jackson on the right and Thomas
00:03:08
Jefferson on the left. And all great uh
00:03:12
great paintings, all originals. Over
00:03:13
here you have one of three. This is
00:03:18
our big uh I guess it's sort of the
00:03:20
star. It's been in the vault for close
00:03:23
to a hundred years.
00:03:26
This is uh
00:03:26
it's incredible. Nobody wanted to put it
00:03:28
up before you.
00:03:28
Well, they wanted to and the people they
00:03:31
weren't able to do it actually because
00:03:33
you know the curators here have a lot of
00:03:34
power and they can tell you no without
00:03:38
saying no. And some of the I can tell
00:03:40
you two of the presidents I know wanted
00:03:42
it up and it never got up. But I think
00:03:44
they liked me better. And part of it is
00:03:47
it's very delicate the paper,
00:03:48
right?
00:03:49
And they, you know, the paper with the
00:03:51
light and everything else.
00:03:52
But you protect it with the curtains.
00:03:54
What we do is if you pull that curtain,
00:03:55
you'll see what happens. We just go
00:03:57
ahead and pull it if you'd like.
00:03:59
See that covers it up.
00:04:01
So now it's protected from
00:04:02
Yeah.
00:04:04
Because the paper's very delicate,
00:04:06
right? And that was the problem with
00:04:08
getting it up. So we did that. We
00:04:09
devised that. And but the curators,
00:04:12
yeah, you can open it up again, I guess.
00:04:14
But the curators made it difficult for a
00:04:17
couple of people to get it up. I don't
00:04:18
think they were going to let it come up.
00:04:20
So they like me better. They know I take
00:04:22
good good care of things. But this is a
00:04:25
very famous bust of
00:04:27
Lincoln. There's George Washington. It's
00:04:29
an incredible place. Now many of these
00:04:31
things this this I moved them here. You
00:04:34
have uh Winston Churchill over here,
00:04:37
you've Eisenhower.
00:04:39
It's been an amazing place to work with.
00:04:42
But what really is uh something very
00:04:45
special is when you have people the
00:04:47
biggest in the world. They walk into
00:04:49
this office and they just want to look.
00:04:52
Yeah.
00:04:52
And we added a lot of 24 karat gold and
00:04:55
it's very expensive and I think very
00:04:58
beautiful. You know, when you look at
00:04:59
the fireplace when you have a leader
00:05:01
sitting on the one side and the other
00:05:03
side and you look at what's behind with
00:05:06
the lights beaming and that's all 24
00:05:08
karat gold and that's why it it just
00:05:11
beams.
00:05:12
Was it not gold before this was?
00:05:13
No, it wasn't. They didn't have really
00:05:16
any gold. They didn't have gold and they
00:05:19
do now. There was actually a flat piece
00:05:21
of marble
00:05:23
there for a long time, but a flat piece
00:05:24
of marble. And I just felt it was
00:05:27
important for this office to take on a a
00:05:30
look that's appropriate. It was uh the
00:05:33
walls were painted, but it was still the
00:05:35
Oval Office, by the way, but the walls
00:05:37
were painted. Now the walls are much
00:05:40
more than painted. So people have loved
00:05:41
it. The leaders of other countries have
00:05:43
loved it when they come in. and it's,
00:05:46
you know, more representative of what it
00:05:48
should be. Then we're doing fixups in
00:05:50
the White House, too. Importantly, we
00:05:52
have some floors that were very bad. We
00:05:54
put in new slabs. I do this stuff. I
00:05:56
like it because I basically I like real
00:05:58
estate and I like building, but we've uh
00:06:02
if you would do it, you can look up, but
00:06:04
we put some marble floors over there
00:06:06
that are incredible. What we can do
00:06:08
today, the workmanship. Did you notice
00:06:10
the floor as you walked by? It's a
00:06:12
beautiful floor that was that had little
00:06:14
on one by one tiles in it and now it has
00:06:16
big slabs of white marble. Uh it's it's
00:06:19
really beautiful. And as you know, we're
00:06:22
going to be building a ballroom. Uh for
00:06:24
150 years, they've wanted a ballroom at
00:06:26
the White House. When a dignitary, a big
00:06:29
dignitary, the head of China, the head
00:06:31
of any country you name would come over,
00:06:34
they would uh build a tent in the lawn.
00:06:37
And if it rained, it was a big problem.
00:06:39
It was a big problem. But they just put
00:06:40
a big tent on the lawn. Now we're going
00:06:42
to have a a worldass ballroom, beautiful
00:06:45
ballroom which is built right on the
00:06:47
other side by the east room. So I think
00:06:51
uh we've done a real job and most
00:06:53
importantly we have a great economy. We
00:06:55
have a lot of people working and we have
00:06:57
an industry that you guys are very much
00:07:00
leading. The job you have is very
00:07:02
important but you're leading it and I
00:07:03
think it's going to be maybe maybe the
00:07:06
most important industry of them all.
00:07:07
What do you think about that?
00:07:08
Absolutely. Yeah, I
00:07:09
think so. Right.
00:07:10
Yeah, absolutely. And we're very honored
00:07:12
for the tech industry to be the first
00:07:13
one that you've brought to do a rose
00:07:15
garden dinner. That's right. This the
00:07:17
first one. And
00:07:18
that's right. We're doing a rose garden
00:07:20
dinner. I think what we'll do is we
00:07:21
might move it cuz it's a little rainy.
00:07:23
Of course it is.
00:07:24
But and actually it's a little bit
00:07:25
easier to talk inside also. So we're
00:07:27
going to have a good group. But it's uh
00:07:30
that's your rose garden. So the rose
00:07:31
garden would
00:07:33
we, as you know, had grass and you
00:07:36
couldn't have any you couldn't do
00:07:37
anything. You couldn't do press
00:07:38
conferences. All of the things that you
00:07:40
like to do, you couldn't do it. And we
00:07:43
put beautiful stone, white stone down.
00:07:46
And now we can have all sorts of things,
00:07:48
including they can have dinners at the
00:07:49
Rose Garden, etc., etc. So, senators,
00:07:52
congressmen, and women can come over.
00:07:55
Was there push back? There was a little
00:07:56
bit of push back.
00:07:57
You know what? Very little, I tell you.
00:07:59
I thought there'd be a lot. Uh, very
00:08:01
little. It's done, and it's complete,
00:08:02
and people love it. You know, they love
00:08:04
the look of it. It looks good. It looks
00:08:05
actually I think better. Problem with
00:08:08
the grass you couldn't do anything with
00:08:09
it. You'd have a press conference. I
00:08:11
know uh Prime Minister Modi was here
00:08:14
from India and recently and he was uh
00:08:17
trying to give a press conference.
00:08:18
Everyone was the women with their high
00:08:21
heels were it was not a pretty picture.
00:08:23
Tears are all uneven on the ground. It
00:08:25
was a fun. It was a little bit tough.
00:08:27
Did you find the crack, sir? Was it you
00:08:29
that found the crack? And then
00:08:30
it was incredible. We had uh we had but
00:08:33
look it was it was beautiful but it's I
00:08:35
think it's more beautiful now and you
00:08:37
can we can use it.
00:08:38
What was the motivation for the
00:08:40
ballroom? Mr. President,
00:08:41
well they've just wanted a ballroom and
00:08:43
I know for a fact cuz you know I've been
00:08:45
here now a long time and uh when you
00:08:47
have a big dinner, you can't really have
00:08:49
a dinner here without putting up a tent
00:08:52
and a tent is not appropriate for what
00:08:54
we do even from a security standpoint.
00:08:56
So, uh, I said in the first term, I'd
00:08:59
love to have a shot because I'm going to
00:09:01
get them a beautiful ballroom. And
00:09:03
that's what we've done. But you really
00:09:04
want it so that you have a lot of big
00:09:06
events. You have a lot of events that
00:09:08
aren't necessarily for the heads of
00:09:10
state. They're just big events for AI or
00:09:13
for something
00:09:15
and you want to have a lot more seats
00:09:17
than they have. You just didn't have. We
00:09:18
have beautiful rooms, but we don't have
00:09:20
big rooms in the White House.
00:09:21
So, now we're going to have a big room.
00:09:23
We're going to have a beautiful
00:09:23
ballroom.
00:09:24
How long till it's done? couple of
00:09:26
years.
00:09:27
It'll take a couple of starting in about
00:09:29
two weeks.
00:09:30
Oh, wow. Breaking two weeks.
00:09:32
It's gonna be It's going to be great.
00:09:34
It's going to be top of the line.
00:09:35
I I heard you had the plans on your
00:09:37
desk. Is that true? Is that
00:09:38
I do. I just took them off because uh in
00:09:41
tribute to you guys. I don't want to
00:09:42
look a little messy, but I know I've had
00:09:44
the plans and it's a great It's right
00:09:46
facing the Treasury Building and facing
00:09:49
the Washington Monument. You have a view
00:09:51
of everything. You have view of the
00:09:52
White House. We have views on all four
00:09:55
sides. Beautiful. It's going to be
00:09:56
great.
00:09:57
What do you call the new Rose Garden? Is
00:09:58
it still called the Rose Garden?
00:09:59
Well, they're calling it the Rose Garden
00:10:00
Club.
00:10:01
The club,
00:10:01
but it's just uh a place where people
00:10:04
can have dinner now, which you couldn't
00:10:06
have done before. We have uh beautiful
00:10:08
kitchens and the White House will use
00:10:10
them. But I think senators, congressmen,
00:10:13
congresswoman, they're going to come
00:10:15
over and they're going to enjoy it. And
00:10:16
maybe we'll let Democrats come too
00:10:18
because, you know, it might bring people
00:10:20
together. That'd be nice. If it brought
00:10:22
people together, that would be nice. So,
00:10:24
but it's great to have you at the White
00:10:26
House. It's great to have you in the
00:10:27
Oval Office
00:10:28
and have a good show. Keep your show.
00:10:30
Thank you, sir. And, you know, I I
00:10:32
thought it would be more interesting for
00:10:33
our audience to see this the side
00:10:36
of you because I've talked to some of
00:10:37
the tour guys of the White House and
00:10:38
they're always saying that you walk
00:10:40
around and you give notes to the
00:10:42
landscapers, the gardeners to fix things
00:10:44
and you pick out all the paintings
00:10:46
yourself. And I don't know if people
00:10:47
know how conscientious you are about the
00:10:49
White House, how much you care about the
00:10:50
White House, how much you care about the
00:10:51
history, and you want to make it as
00:10:53
beautiful as possible. And you've made
00:10:54
it even more incredible than it already
00:10:56
was, like no other president.
00:10:57
There's an incredible video clip, sir.
00:10:59
It's like the day after you were
00:11:01
reelected, maybe like a few days after,
00:11:03
and you were in Mara Lago, and you were
00:11:05
walking with the grounds person with a
00:11:06
notepad. Yeah.
00:11:07
And you were pointing to the all of
00:11:09
these little things, and it was like the
00:11:10
most incredible thing because it's like
00:11:12
this attention to me is wonderful.
00:11:13
Well, we've done a lot. The White House
00:11:15
was it needed some love.
00:11:18
You think it got it with Biden? I don't
00:11:20
think so. You think he does this? Do you
00:11:22
think he says that marble's not looking
00:11:24
good? We have to replace that marble.
00:11:26
No, he doesn't do that. But, uh, we have
00:11:28
a great administration going. We have,
00:11:31
and you're a big part of it. Uh, but we
00:11:33
have a great administration. We have a
00:11:35
country that's doing really well. And
00:11:37
leading in AI is an honor. And then
00:11:38
we're going to keep leading, too. We're
00:11:40
going to be doing something that I'm
00:11:42
proud of. I said, you know, you need
00:11:43
massive amounts of electricity, as you
00:11:45
people know better than anybody. And I'm
00:11:47
allowing the people that are building to
00:11:51
build their own electric plants, which
00:11:53
nobody thought
00:11:54
Yeah.
00:11:55
would happen. And I sort of think that
00:11:58
was my idea. You can't go into the old
00:12:00
grid. So they could build the most
00:12:02
magnificent electric uh producing plants
00:12:07
almost becoming a utility.
00:12:09
Yeah. And if they build more than they
00:12:11
need, they can sell it back into the
00:12:12
grid. Put it back into the the grid,
00:12:14
which is good. So, you're going to see
00:12:16
some tremendous plants going up. They've
00:12:18
already started, as you know. But
00:12:20
they're building with that. They're
00:12:21
building electric producing facilities.
00:12:24
So, it's going to be great. I think that
00:12:26
made a big difference. Don't you think
00:12:27
if we didn't do that?
00:12:28
Totally.
00:12:28
They couldn't hook it to an old grid.
00:12:31
Absolutely.
00:12:32
I don't know if anybody's told you, but
00:12:33
we had dinner with Senator Crapo
00:12:35
yesterday. Yes. He said this incredible
00:12:37
thing when the CBO originally priced the
00:12:39
big beautiful bill. They thought it was
00:12:42
minus3 trillion. They just updated it
00:12:45
because they have to. And it's actually
00:12:47
a surplus.
00:12:48
Oh yeah.
00:12:48
It's like 300 billion. It's an
00:12:50
incredible thing.
00:12:50
Well, we're taking in hundreds of
00:12:52
billions of dollars worth of tariffs.
00:12:54
Yeah.
00:12:54
The money is coming in at levels that
00:12:56
nobody ever thought possible. You know,
00:12:58
they gave us no credit for that because
00:12:59
it was never done before. And now the
00:13:02
numbers are much higher than anybody
00:13:03
ever thought. 600 billion from Japan,
00:13:06
90% to America
00:13:08
of the profits,
00:13:08
950 billion from the European Union,
00:13:12
uh 350 billion from South Korea. No, the
00:13:17
numbers are the numbers are incredible.
00:13:19
And and frankly, I could have done more
00:13:22
if, you know, I wanted to take it nice
00:13:23
and easy. I didn't want
00:13:25
You did a great deal with Intel
00:13:26
recently, so you're putting the balance
00:13:28
sheet to work, which I think is really
00:13:29
The balance sheet is going to be great.
00:13:30
The country is We're really doing well.
00:13:33
uh we have to maintain it. We have to be
00:13:36
smart. AI is a big factor. But we have
00:13:39
all the car companies coming back in
00:13:41
with their plants. You know, we lost
00:13:43
almost 60% of our car producing if you
00:13:45
go back 40 years. We made all the cars
00:13:48
and now we don't make close to all. And
00:13:52
we may be at a higher level than we were
00:13:54
40 years ago by the time the car
00:13:56
companies just like AI. The car
00:13:58
companies are coming back. Factories are
00:14:00
coming back because they don't want to
00:14:01
pay tariffs. Yeah,
00:14:03
you know, they like me, but they don't
00:14:04
want to pay tariffs.
00:14:06
And so, we put together an amazing
00:14:08
thing. They're coming they're leaving
00:14:09
from all other countries. They're coming
00:14:10
here. They're they're building massive
00:14:12
plants. Plants the likes of which we've
00:14:15
never seen at the auto plants. Uh, and
00:14:18
the union, the auto union,
00:14:20
they love Trump. They got it right at
00:14:23
the beginning and they voted for me.
00:14:24
But, uh, their vote is now well
00:14:27
justified. But the auto companies are
00:14:30
building unbelievable numbers of plants
00:14:32
and big ones.
00:14:34
And one thing I want to add on AI, sir,
00:14:36
is that this investment that you're
00:14:38
basically triggering is going to benefit
00:14:40
all Americans, not just Silicon Valley
00:14:42
companies. When we were in Pennsylvania
00:14:44
and you announced $92 billion of
00:14:46
investment, they had people from the
00:14:48
trades there, construction,
00:14:50
electricians, carpenters,
00:14:52
uh the fracking industry, coal, nuclear,
00:14:55
everybody. So, this is going to be a
00:14:56
broad-based uh boom uh with AI. It's not
00:14:59
just going to benefit a handful of tech
00:15:00
companies and uh that's thanks to your
00:15:02
leadership stimulating all that
00:15:04
investment. You got TSMC to invest
00:15:06
hundreds of billions in the US. That's
00:15:07
really important. We're going to bring
00:15:09
chip manufacturing back to the US
00:15:11
thanks to that.
00:15:13
It should have never left. If you had a
00:15:14
president that knew business or
00:15:16
understood what they would, you just
00:15:18
never really did.
00:15:19
Yeah.
00:15:19
You never no matter who we all like
00:15:21
certain presidents, but they never
00:15:23
understood. uh you wouldn't have Taiwan
00:15:26
right now. They would have said, "No,
00:15:28
you want to build in Taiwan, you're
00:15:30
going to have to pay a 200% tariff and
00:15:33
nobody would have left." And you would
00:15:34
have had Intel and the ones that were
00:15:36
doing so well originally, uh they would
00:15:39
have, you know, they would have been
00:15:40
supreme right now. They would have been
00:15:42
at a level like you've never seen. And
00:15:44
that's what's happening. I mean, they're
00:15:45
all coming back. You see that? Yeah.
00:15:47
They're coming back from all over the
00:15:49
world for chips and for cars and for
00:15:52
everything, every aspect.
00:15:54
And if you get rates down, which I think
00:15:56
it'll start too late is he'll for
00:15:58
too late is not too late. Too late. Too
00:16:00
late doesn't know what the hell he's
00:16:01
doing. But
00:16:02
we talked about that.
00:16:03
Good old Too late. Oh, he's so bad. It's
00:16:05
so pathetic. But anyway, he's too late.
00:16:07
That's I mean, he was always too late.
00:16:08
He was always too late.
00:16:09
But uh rates are coming down anyway. I
00:16:12
mean, this is bigger than him. As crazy
00:16:15
as it sounds, it's bigger than him and
00:16:17
big bigger than a stupid person running
00:16:18
the Fed.
00:16:19
Yeah.
00:16:20
It's uh so big that in fact you see
00:16:23
actually interest rates are starting to
00:16:25
go down on of their own valition. But if
00:16:27
we would have had a little help from the
00:16:29
Fed, the one thing that was is slowed
00:16:31
down because of him is housing.
00:16:33
Yeah.
00:16:34
And that'll catch up very quickly
00:16:36
because that's the least of it. But uh
00:16:38
this is just much bigger than really the
00:16:40
Fed in in the sense of having somebody
00:16:42
that's incompetent running it.
00:16:44
Well, you mentioned I remember this I
00:16:46
think it was like two months ago we had
00:16:48
dinner and you said very you're very
00:16:49
sensitive to the exchange rate and it
00:16:52
turns out that what you said actually
00:16:53
happened which is the exchange rate has
00:16:55
completely stabilized despite all these
00:16:56
other fluctuations. The dollar has held
00:16:58
up.
00:16:59
Dollar held up. The dollar's held up and
00:17:01
uh honestly everything's held up.
00:17:03
It's really working.
00:17:04
Uh no inflation. They said, "Oh, tariffs
00:17:07
will cause inflation." They were They've
00:17:08
been wrong about everything. And
00:17:09
absolutely these guys, and for the most
00:17:11
part, they've admit they've said, you
00:17:12
know, Trump was right because we've
00:17:14
taken in hundreds of billions of dollars
00:17:18
at levels that nobody's ever seen taken
00:17:20
in.
00:17:21
Yeah.
00:17:21
And so we've taken in all this money and
00:17:23
there's been no inflation.
00:17:24
It's just been hard, I think, for them
00:17:25
to admit it because it's not that you
00:17:27
were right, you were very right. That's
00:17:29
the, you know what I mean? Like
00:17:30
even right after Liberation Day,
00:17:31
remember they tried to create this panic
00:17:32
in the market. The market went down
00:17:34
because it created so much fear. You
00:17:35
called them panic and you were right. It
00:17:37
all bounced
00:17:37
back. No, you called there's a tweet you
00:17:39
called the absolute bottom. You posted
00:17:42
on truth social, this is a great day. It
00:17:44
was literally the bottom
00:17:46
and it's gone straight as I said start
00:17:49
in this is a great day to invest.
00:17:50
Exactly.
00:17:51
I hope a lot of people followed it. A
00:17:53
lot of people did, I guess, because you
00:17:54
know, you see what's happening in the
00:17:55
market. No, it's been it's been a great
00:17:58
uh thing to watch. They had 71
00:18:01
economists and they put me in that group
00:18:04
and I just myself and one other person
00:18:07
were right. Everyone else was wrong. But
00:18:10
it's it's even more more than anyone
00:18:13
ever thought of that. Were you thinking
00:18:15
something or were you seeing something?
00:18:16
This is
00:18:16
No, I just felt it was low.
00:18:18
I just felt it was low. I It's more
00:18:20
instinct, I think, than maybe anything
00:18:22
else. certain amount of brain power but
00:18:24
instinct maybe is more important in some
00:18:26
cases but I've had an instinct and my
00:18:29
instinct has been for a long time this
00:18:31
is what the country has to do you know
00:18:32
this is what happened to us other
00:18:34
countries were doing this to us but we
00:18:36
are in a position where we can do it
00:18:38
better much better nobody is able to do
00:18:41
what I'm doing now with this so the
00:18:45
tariffs are a big part I think the
00:18:46
spirit's a big part we have great spirit
00:18:49
you look at what we did in Iran you look
00:18:50
at that beautiful B2 Right.
00:18:52
Unbelievable.
00:18:53
That beautiful plane. I have it around
00:18:54
here someplace.
00:18:56
Look at this. This thing what what that
00:18:58
did.
00:18:59
How that flew in there, dropped those
00:19:01
bombs. Everyone hit perfectly and then
00:19:03
they said, "Scadattle, get out of here."
00:19:06
And they got out. No, it's great. We
00:19:08
just ordered a lot of the brand new
00:19:10
model of that. Just ordered quite a few
00:19:12
of them. How do you solve the the
00:19:14
government waste, fraud, abuse, the
00:19:16
spending and the outlook for fixing the
00:19:19
the spending problem in
00:19:21
Well, we're going to do that. I mean,
00:19:22
that's going to be next, but you know,
00:19:23
we're fixing another problem where the
00:19:26
numbers are going very high. The
00:19:27
numbers, you're going to see some
00:19:28
numbers that are going to be
00:19:29
astronomical when these plants start
00:19:32
opening. You know, we have a lot of
00:19:33
construction jobs building, but when
00:19:35
these plants that you guys are so in
00:19:37
love with, they start opening. Nobody's
00:19:40
ever seen plants like this. Nobody's
00:19:42
ever seen. When you hear
00:19:43
about a 50 billion dollar plant,
00:19:46
50 billion, 50 million is a big plant by
00:19:49
the old standard. Right now, you're
00:19:50
talking about 50 billion
00:19:52
when they open and they're all chock
00:19:54
full of jobs and everything else. You're
00:19:55
going to see things that are really
00:19:57
amazing.
00:19:58
And the tax cuts haven't even gone to
00:19:59
effect yet. a number of some of the for
00:20:02
for the tech industry the R&D
00:20:04
uh treatment where you can depreciate
00:20:06
R&D now in the same year instead of
00:20:07
spreading it out over 30 years
00:20:09
including structures and that's a big
00:20:11
one
00:20:12
but no tax on tips no tax on social
00:20:15
security no tax on overtime so the
00:20:17
workers want to work overtime they don't
00:20:19
get the tax that they would normally
00:20:21
have to get and that sort of stops it
00:20:22
from happening no we have a a tremendous
00:20:26
thing going and it's an honor to have
00:20:27
you with us
00:20:28
thank you sir
00:20:29
thank you very Thank you, sir.
00:20:30
Thank you.
00:20:30
To be here as always.
00:20:32
Thank you very much. Thank you very
00:20:33
much.
00:20:34
Thank you, sir.
