Donald Trump
Aim, but the direction is the same. I see very important role for GCC countries to stabilize the rest of the region. And there is massive engagement. When I think about Egypt, I cannot think about Egypt without the role that Saudis Emirates are playing.

We're waiting for the President states. They're obviously a little off schedule. That's okay. Hopefully the President just doesn't stick to his prepared remarks. I would love and I hope that President Trump goes off script and goes full Trump on him. I mean, no better group needs to be awakened. You know, give him a head slap like in the National Football League at the opening of the game. Make sure they're paying attention. So we're going to cut back to Davos live. When that happens, I want to go noor jump in here and I'll go back to Larry. I want people to understand the structure of Davos. They go for four or five, five days, I think. And what you see there is these panels. We took the cut earlier from a panel. Then you have some individual talks. This is the way ideas have consequences, folks. You know that better than anybody. You have been the manifestation and the power of the ideas of the Trump movement, the power of the MAGA movement, a counter narrative to the neoliberal, neocon globalists that have run the United States for God knows how long, decade after decade after decade. This populist nationalist has ideas too. Our ideas have major consequences now. They've got to be acted upon. That's where we give you actionable information here at the War Room. But in Davos you have many different ideas. They have geopolitics, they have the economy, they have, you know, like Larry just showed you big picture ideas about the personhood of nature. But Nora, you've been going for years, walk us through everything that kind of goes on at Davos because it's simultaneous. You can dip into this panel, you can go to this, you can see this main speech. Walk us through what it's like to have a day at Davos, man.

Donald Trump
Well, as you mentioned, there are multiple panels going on at the same time, which makes it quite hard, you know, to cover live because you can't have, you know, you can't be watching multiple panels at the same, at the same time. But right now I think there are four or five panels going on to give you an example. And it starts very early in the morning. I think the first panel starts at 8 or 8:30 and it runs until about 6pm so it's jam packed the schedule over here. And as I mentioned, you know, Several times before. This is very much the PR operation of the globalists. This is where they get to share with the public what their plans are, what they're working on and the overall, the overall agenda. And you have, you know, some of the most important. Well, that's a misnomer. But the most important minions of the globalist cult that come to share the messaging with, with the US the plebs, and just to name a few examples. But you had, you know, world leaders, you had Zelensky, you had Prime Minister of Spain, as I mentioned, you had the Chancellor of Germany, you had Ursula von der Leyen of the European Commission, obviously, like every year, the UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres and United Nations. United Nations Secretary General Tedros Gaber Jesus, Director General of the who, was supposed to speak yesterday, but he didn't show up. Mark Ruta, the newly appointed Secretary General of NATO as well, was here and participated in several panels, as did Al Gore, touting his nonsense and fake data about climate change for I don't know how many years running now. So when they talk about misinformation and disinformation, speaking specifically about Al Gore, he represents, you know, he's the epitome of sharing misinformation and disinformation, I would say, here in Davos.

Well, hold the president coming about a new golden age. Let's be very specific. This is the first I heard the who, two major announcements in the first 24 hours. We're pulling out of the Paris climate Accord and, hey, we started this back in 2017 and it was a heavy lift then. The president's seeing it through since it got blunted at the end of his administration first term. And Biden went all in also. We pulled out of the World Health Organization. Does that have any. Without the United States underwriting, signing the checks and paying for it, the World Health Organization collapses. Is that why he didn't show up? And what's been the response of Trump telling the globalists we're at President Trump's just about. He's Klaus Schwab. Let's go to the main stage. Klaus Schwab, the high priest of Davos Cult, introducing President Trump.

Donald Trump
What great honor and pleasure to welcome you back to the Davos community just four days into your new mandate. We highly appreciate your presence with us today. We wish you all the best as you take on your critical work ahead. The global challenges we face today are monumental. The importance of American leadership and your personal leadership in this regard is fundamental and paramount. We are here to hear your vision and policies related to revitalizing the economy and addressing the global challenges. As you might expect, Mr. President, your return to office and your forthcoming policies have been at the focus of our discussions this week. The discussions among 3,000 political and business leaders from over 130 countries who came together here in Davos. We look forward hearing first from you and then to the follow up discussion with business leaders moderated by my colleague Birge Brende. Ladies and gentlemen, the President of the United States, Donald J. Trump. Well, thank you very much Klaus, and hello to everyone in beautiful Davos. This has been a truly historic week in the United States. Three days ago I took the oath of office and we began the golden age of America. The recent Presidential election was won by millions of votes and all seven, every one of them, all seven swing states. It was a massive mandate from the American people like hasn't been seen in many years. And some of the political pundits, even some of my so called enemies, said it was the most consequential election victory in 129 years. That's quite nice. What the world has witnessed in the past 72 hours is nothing less than a revolution of common sense. Our country will soon be stronger, wealthier and more united than ever before. And the entire As a result of this incredible momentum and what we're doing and going to do, my administration is acting with unprecedented speed to fix the disasters we've inherited from a totally inept group of people and to solve every single crisis facing our country. This begins with confronting the economic chaos caused by the failed policies of the last administration. Over the past four years, our government racked up $8 trillion in wasteful deficit spending and inflicted nation wrecking energy restrictions, crippling regulations and hidden taxes like never before. The result is the worst inflation crisis in modern history and sky high interest rates for our citizens and even throughout the world. Food prices and the price of almost every other thing known to mankind went through the roof. President Biden totally lost control of what was going on in our country. But in particular with our high inflation economy and at our border. Because of these ruinous policies, total government spending this year is $1.5 trillion higher than was project projected to occur when I left office just four years ago. Likewise, the cost of servicing the debt is more than 230% higher than was projected in 2020. The inflation rate we are inheriting remains 50% higher than the historic target. It was the highest inflation probably in the history of our country. That's why from the moment I took office, I've taken rapid action to reverse each and every one of these radical left policies that created this calam, in particular with immigration, crime and inflation. On day one, I signed an executive order directing every member of my cabinet to marshal all powers at their disposal to defeat inflation and reduce the cost of daily life. I imposed a federal hiring freeze, a federal regulation freeze, a foreign aid freeze, and I created the new Department of Government Efficiency. I terminated the ridiculous and incredibly wasteful Green New Deal. I call it the Green New Scam. Withdrew from the one sided Paris climate accord and ended the insane and costly electric vehicle mandate. We're going to let people buy the car they want to buy. I declared a national energy emergency, and that's so important. National energy emergency. To unlock the liquid gold under our feet and pave the way for rapid approvals of new energy infrastructure. The United States has the largest amount of oil and gas of any country on earth, and we're going to use it. Not only will this reduce the cost of virtually all goods and services, it will make the United States a manufacturing superpower and the world capital of artificial intelligence and crypto. My administration has also begun the largest deregulation campaign in history, far exceeding even the record setting efforts of my last term. In total, the Biden administration imposed $50,000 in additional regulatory costs on the average American household over the last four years. I have promised to eliminate 10 old regulations for every new regulation, which will soon put many thousands of dollars back in the pockets of American families. To further unleash our economy, our majorities in the House and Senate, which we also took along with the presidency, are going to pass the largest tax cut in American history, including massive tax cuts for workers and family and big tax cuts for domestic producers and manufacturers. And we're working with the Democrats on getting an extension of the original Trump tax cuts. As you probably know by just reading any paper, my message to every business in the world is very simple. Come make your product in America and we will give you among the lowest taxes of any nation on Earth. We're bringing them down very substantially, even from the original Trump tax cuts. But if you don't make your product in America, which is your prerogative, then very simply, you will have to pay a tariff, differing amounts, but a tariff which will direct hundreds of billions of dollars and even trillions of dollars into our treasury to strengthen our economy and pay down debt. Under the Trump administration, there will be no better place on earth to create jobs, build factories, or grow a company than right here in the Good old USA Already, Americans, economic, you can see this, I think maybe even in your, in your wonderful, wonderful room that you're all gathered together. So many of my friends. But Americans, the economic confidence is soaring like we haven't seen in many, many decades. Maybe not at all. Upon my election, it was just announced a business optimism skyrocketed by 41 points in a single month. That's the highest ever. There's never been anything like that. SoftBank has announced between a 100 and $200 billion investment in the US economy because of the election result. And just two days ago, Oracle SoftBank and OpenAI announced a $500 billion investment in AI infrastructure. Other companies likewise have announced billions and billions and billions adding up the TR of investment in America in the United States. And it's also reported today in the papers that Saudi Arabia will be investing at least $600 billion in America. But I'll be asking the crown prince, who's a fantastic guy, to round it out to around 1 trillion. I think they'll do that because we've been very good to them. And I'm also going to ask Saudi Arabia and OPEC to bring down the cost of oil. You got to bring it down, which frankly, I'm surprised they didn't do before the election. That didn't show a lot of love by them not doing it. I was a little surprised by that. If the price came down, the Russia, Ukraine war would end immediately. Right now the price is high enough that that war will continue. You got to bring down the oil price. You're going to end that war. They should have done it long ago. They're very responsible actually to a certain extent for what's taking place. Millions of lives are being lost with.

With oil prices going down, I'll demand that interest rates drop immediately. And likewise, they should be dropping all over. Interest rates should follow us all over the progress that you're seeing is happening because of our historic victory in a recent presidential election, one that has become quite well known throughout the world. I think a lot of things are happening to a lot of countries. They say that there's light shining all over the world since the election, and even countries that we aren't particularly friendly with are happy because they understand what there is a future and how great the future will be under our leadership. America is back and open for business. And this week I'm also taking swift action to stop the invasion at our southern border. They allowed people to come in at levels that nobody's ever seen before. It was ridiculous. I decided a and declared to do and very, very importantly, a national emergency on our border immediately halted all entry of illegal border cross, of which there were many, and began promptly returning the illegal trespassers back to the place from which they came. That action, as you've probably seen, has already started. Very strongly have deployed active duty U.S. military and national Guard troops to the border to assist in repelling the invasion. It was really an invasion. We will not allow our territory to be violated. After four long years, the United States is strong and sovereign and a beautiful nation. Once again, it's a strong sovereign nation. In addition, I'm pleased to report that America is also a free nation once again. On day one, I signed an executive order to stop all government censorship. No longer will our government label the speech of our own citizens as misinformation or disinformation, which are the favorite words of censors and those who wish to stop the free exchange of ideas and frankly, progress. We have saved free speech in America and we've saved it strongly with another historic executive order. This week I also ended the weaponization of law enforcement against the American people and frankly, against politicians, and restored the fair, equal and impartial rule of law. My administration has taken action to abolish all discriminatory diversity, equity and inclusion. Nonsense. And these are policies that were Absolute nonsense throughout the government and the private sector. With the recent, yet somewhat unexpected great Supreme Court decision just made, America will once again become a merit based country. You have to hear that word, merit based country. And I've made it official, an official policy of the United States that there are only two genders, male and female, and we will have no men participating in women's sports and transgender operations, which became the rage, will occur very rarely. Finally, as we restore common sense in America, we're moving quickly to bring back strength and peace and stability abroad. I'm also going to ask all NATO nations to increase defense spending to 5% of GDP, which is what it should have been years ago. It was only at 2%, and most nations didn't pay until I came along. I insisted that they pay, and they did, because the United States was really paying the difference at that time. And it was unfair to the United States. But many, many things have been unfair for many years to the United States. Before even taking office, my team negotiated a cease fire agreement in the Middle east, which wouldn't have happened without us, as I think most of the people in the room know. Earlier this week, the hostages began to return to their families. They are returning, and it's a beautiful sight. And they'll be coming in more and more. They started coming back on Sunday. Our efforts to secure a peace settlement between Russia and Ukraine are now hopefully underway. It's so important to get that done. That is an absolute killing field. Millions of soldiers are being killed. Nobody's seen anything like it since World War II. They're laying dead all over the flat fields. It's a flat field, farmland, and there's millions of Russians and millions of Ukrainians. Nobody's seen anything like it since World War II. It's time to end it. And here in America, we have big events coming up. Next year we have the 250th anniversary of America's founding. I'm so honored to be president during that. That's been a big event. They've been talking about it for 10 years. We also have the World cup. And I understand Gianni. Gianni's in the room. Infantino, he was very instrumental in helping us get it. He's there with you someplace, I think, and I want to thank him for that. And then we have the Olympics coming up, which I was instrumental in getting also in my first term. And who would have known that by skipping a term I would get the Olympics? I was upset. I said, you know, I got the Olympics to come and I won't be president, but it turned out through a stroke of luck or whatever you might call it, that I'm going to be president during the World cup and the Olympics and the 250th anniversary. So that's going to be three big events. And we've accomplished more in less than four days. We have really been working four days than other administrations have accomplished in four years. And we're just getting started. It's really an amazing thing to see. And the spirit and the light over our country has been incredible. Under the last administration, our nation has suffered greatly, but we're going to bring it back and make it greater, bigger, stronger, better than ever before. I want to thank everybody for being with you. I would have been there myself, except the inauguration was two days ago. I thought it might be a little bit quick to make it the first stop, but we'll get there one day. We hope to get there. But I do appreciate, I heard the audience is fantastic, and many of my friends are in the audience. And I will be taking questions now from some very distinguished people. Thank you all very much. Thank you. Thank you very much, Mr. President, for that very powerful speech. And I think you could hear the applause all the way from Davos to the White House. But next year it will be even better because then you can get the applause here in Davos. So we wish you welcome to our village. Next year, we hope to see you. Thank you very much. So we also know, Mr. President, that you opened up for interaction here. We have a great panel with some of the most distinguished business people in the world. Let me start with someone that you know really well, that I think is almost a neighbor of you in Florida, Mr. Steve Schwartzman, Chairman, CEO and Co Founder of Blackstone Group. So, Steve, floor is yours. Well, Mr. President, I'm sure the crown prince of Saudi Arabia will be really glad you gave this speech today. You've had the busiest four days that anybody can imagine, and congratulations for that. And my question is about some of the things I've observed here at Davos. It's a terrific forum. I've met lots of people, as usual. I think I've been here 30 years, and a lot of the European business people have expressed enormous frustration with the regulatory regime in the eu and they attribute slower growth rates here because of the numerous factors, but especially because of regulations. And you've taken a completely different approach in this area. And if you could explain the theory of what you're doing, how you're going to do it and what you expect the outcome to be. I'd appreciate it. Well, thank you very much and congratulations, Steve. You're a friend of mine, but on a great career. You have had an amazing career and it continue. So I just want to congratulate you. Very inspirational to a lot of people. I want to talk about the EU because you mentioned specifically that I've also had a lot of friends and leaders of countries. I've gotten to know them all my first term and a little bit during this period of four years and know them well, like them a lot, but they're very frustrated because of the time everything seems to take to get approved environmental impact statements for things that you shouldn't even have to do that and many, many ways that it takes. And I'm going to give you a quick little example in the private life, my beautiful private life before I had all these things happening, the world is a little different. I had a nice, simple life, you knew that. But when I had that simple life, I did projects and I had a big project in Ireland and it had to get approval on something that would have made it even better. And I got the approval from Ireland in a period of a week. And it was a very, very, very efficient, good approval. And they informed me, though, the problem is you're going to have to get it from the eu and we think that'll take five to six years. And they said, you have to be kidding. And this was before politics. And I said, wait a minute, it's not that important. I don't want to go five or six years, but it would have been a big investment, it would have been nice and it would have been good for the project. And I sent the people to the EU to see if they could speed it up. And basically it was a five or six year wait just to get a simple approval that Ireland gave me in a period of literally not much more than a week. And I realized right then that was the first time I really was involved with the eu. But I realized right then that's a problem and I didn't even bother applying to do it. And, or if I did, I pulled it very quickly. I don't, I have to be very accurate because I don't want to be criticized. He did apply, actually, no, I want to be very accurate. So I don't think I did, but if I did, I pulled it very quickly. It was just something you couldn't wait five years or six years to get an approval. So a lot of, in a very big business sense, a lot of people are claiming that's the problem from the standpoint of America. The EU treats us very, very unfairly, very badly. They have a large tax that we know about and a VAT tax and it's a very substantial one. They don't take our, essentially don't take our farm products and they don't take our cars. Yet they send cars to us by the millions. They put tariffs on things that we want to do. Like for instance, I think they actually in terms of these are non economic or non monetary tariffs and those are very bad. And they make it very difficult to bring products into Europe and yet they expect to be selling and they do sell their products in the United States. So we have, you know, hundreds of billions of dollars of deficits with the eu and nobody's happy with it and we're going to do something about it, but nobody's happy with it. So I think the EU has to speed up their process. Friends of mine that are in some of the nations within the great people, they want to be able to compete better. And you can't compete when you can't get go through the approval process fast. There's no reason why it can't go faster. So, you know, I'm trying to be constructive because I love Europe, I love the countries of Europe, but the process is a very cumbersome one and they do treat the United States of America very, very unfairly with the VAT taxes and all of the other taxes they impose. One other, just to finish up, I got a call from the head of a major airline, one of the biggest airlines in the world. And he said, sir, could you help us? What? Landing in Europe is brutal. They charge us fees for everything and it's so unfair. I said, how does it compare to China? He said, it's much worse. And the other thing, as you know, they took court cases with Apple and they supposedly won a case that most people didn't think was much of a case. They won 15 or 16 billion from Apple. They won billions from Google. I think they're after Facebook for billions and billions. These are American companies. Whether you like them or not, they're American companies and they shouldn't be doing that. And that's as far as I'm concerned. It's a form of taxation. So we have some very big complaints with the eu.

Donald Trump
Thank you. Thank you very much, Mr. President. We'll now go to one of your friends in the eu, Patrick Poyano. He is the Chairman CEO of Total Energies. I guess you have a question ready, Patrick, for the President. Mr. President, as we understand energy is at the top of your agenda and it's an honor for me to represent the energy industry tonight in this panel. TotalEnergy is indeed the fourth largest oil and gas and electricity company in the world. I will not ask you a question about the oil price. It's quite clear what you expect from us. I will go to gas more and we our company is the largest number one exporter LNG from the US Company. We are a strong contributor to and we invest in mammoth LNG projects in Texas. $20 billion. It's far from 200, but it's $20 billion. And we contribute with that to security of supply to Europe as we export this LNG to Europe. Some experts fear that if there are too many projects developed in the US on lng, this could have an inflationary impact on the US domestic gas price. And they recommend a pause on these projects. I would ask you the following question. What are your views about such a pose on investments on LNG in the us what would happen if you would observe an increased domestic gas price because of these exports? And final question, which is important for Europe. Would you agree to guarantee security of supplies of US energy to Europe? Well, on the last part of your question, yes, I would. I would make sure that you get it. If we make a deal, we make a deal. You'll get it. Because a lot of people do have that problem. They make a deal and then it can't get supplied because of war type problems. And Other problems. So we would absolutely do that. LNG is very interesting because when I took office for the first term, one of the first things I looked at was two. There were two very massive plants in Louisiana, a state that has been very good to me, won it by many, many points. And I felt strongly indebted to it, actually. And they said, there are two plants that have been under environmental consideration for more than 10 years. And they were costing, as you say, you know how expensive those plants are, but they were costing like 12 billion and I think 14 or 15 billion. But they couldn't get their permits. It was. They were in review for years, Many, many years, like a decade or more. And I said, so ridiculous. I know so much about that because in the construction industry, I had to go through it too. But I got good at it after a while. But I went, I saw the project said, you're talking about a total investment of 25 to 30 billion dollars. And it looked like it was going to end. They couldn't get their permits. And I got them done in less than a week. It was done, completed. In fact, when they called them to announce that it was done, the countries, largely countries, Japan was involved and another country and some very big investors, they couldn't believe it. They actually couldn't believe it. And I said, just do yourself one favor. Don't pay any consultants. Because the only one that got it done was me. I got it done because it was the right thing to do for the US and for the world. But the consultants had nothing to do with it. You know, the consultants go in and they say, give us millions of dollars because Trump did it. Nobody called me about it. I just heard it was a problem for years. And I got it done because it was the right thing to do for the US and the right thing to do for beyond. It had to do with energy. Very important. So I think it's very important. I think, you know, I disagree with Juan. I think the more that you do, the lower the price is gonna go. And what I'd like to see is rapid approvals. We're gonna give very rapid approvals in the United States, like with the AI plans, talking to many people wanna build them. That's going to be a very big thing. We're going to build electric generating facilities. They are going to build. I'm going to get them the approval under emergency declaration. I can get the approvals done myself without having to go through years of waiting. And the big problem is we need double the energy we currently have in the United States. Can you imagine for AI to really be as big as we want to have it? Because it's a very competitive, It'll be very competitive with China and others. So I'm going to give emergency declarations so that they can start building them almost immediately. And I think it was largely my idea because nobody thought this was possible. It wasn't that they were not smart because they're the smartest. But I told them that what I want you to do is build your electric generating plant right next to your plant as a separate building, connect it. And they said, wow, you're kidding. And I said, no, no, I'm not kidding. You don't have to hook into the grid, which is old and, you know, could be taken out. If it's taken out, they wouldn't have any way to get any electricity. So we are going to allow them to go on a very rapid basis to build their plant, build the electric generating plant. They can fuel it with anything they want. And they may have coal as a backup, good, clean coal. You know, if there were a problem with a pipe coming in as an example, you're going with gas, oil or gas and a pipe gets blown up or for some reason doesn't work. There are some companies in the US that have coal sitting right by the plant so that if there's an emergency, they can go to that short term basis and use our very clean coal. So that's something else that a lot of people didn't even know about. But nothing can destroy coal. Not the weather, not a bomb, nothing. It might make it a little smaller, might make it a little different shape, but coal is very strong as a backup. It's a great backup to have that facility. And it wouldn't cost much more, more money. And we have more coal than anybody. We also have more oil and gas than anybody. So we're going to make it so that the plants will have their own electric generating facilities attached right to their plant. They don't have to worry about a utility. They don't have to worry about anything. And we're going to get very rapid approvals. Thank you. Thank you so much, Mr. President. We'll now go to another CEO that you know very well, Brian Monan, the CEO and chair of bank of America. Good afternoon, Mr. President, and congratulations and obviously eventful week for you and your family. If you remember five years ago, you came here and we walked among 150 CEOs from all over the world and you engage with them about your policies and your procedures. This year you're not here. And yet this week was eventful. From the orders that you mentioned earlier, literally a wave of orders coming out on immigration, on trade and many other matters. And so as a representative of the United States here, we got a lot of questions about what does all this mean and how would the President square this with his clear focus on growth, prosperity market growth, stock market growth, a good bond market and bringing down prices. So how do you think about the impact of all these orders and how fast they come out and how you're going to balance them with that scorecard of being successful in both continuing GDP growth, bringing down inflation, and also having a good stock price appreciation for the American citizen? Well, I think it's going to actually bring down inflation, it's going to bring up jobs, we're going to have a lot of jobs, we're going to have a lot of companies moving. And you know, Brian, we're at 21%. It was at 40% and I got it down to 21% the corporate tax. And it was actually, if you look at state and city, it was in many cases much higher than 40%. I got it down to 21% and now we're gonna bring it down from 21 to 15%. If there's a big if, if you make your product in the US So we're gonna have the lowest, just about the lowest rate it'll be. The 21 is on the low side worldwide. The 15 is about as low as it gets and by far the lowest of a large country, A large, you know, rich, powerful country. By far not even a contest. So we're gonna bring it down to 15% if you make your product in the USA. So that's gonna create a tremendous buzz. We're also probably going back to the one year deduction where we deduct, you know, we did that originally and that was amazing what the impact that that had. The one year deduction which built up over a period of time and then it expires. But we're going to go back to that. When we do the renewal of the Trump tax plan, we have to get Democrats to approve it. But you know, if the Democrats didn't approve it, I don't know how they can survive with about a 45% tax increase because that's what it would be. And so I think they're going to be, we've been working along with them pretty well. I think it's very hard for a political group to say let's charge people 45% more. So I think we're in good shape, but we're actually doing a reduction for business and small businesses, where you're gonna bring it down to 15%, which is really something. And by the way, speaking of you, and you've done a fantastic job, but I hope you start opening your bank to conservatives, because many conservatives complain that the banks are not allowing them to do business within the bank, and that included a place called bank of America. This conservative. They don't take conservative business. And I don't know if the regulators mandated that because of Biden or what, but you and Jamie and everybody, I hope you're going to open your banks to conservatives, because what you're doing is wrong. Mr. President, I'll say that your friend Gianni said hello, told me to tell you hello, and we look forward to sponsoring the World cup when it comes, both this summer for the club and next year. So thank you for getting after the United States. Thank you very much, Brian. Thank you, Mr. President. We'll now go to Anna Butin. She's the executive chairman of Banco Santander, one of the big European banks and also in the U.S. so, Anna, Mr. President, congratulations on a historic victory. I believe you don't know me as well as my fellow panelists, so a few words. Santander is one of the largest banks in the world by number of customers, 170 million. That's more than my friend Brian or my friend Jamie have. And those. They fix the regulation. That's coming. That's coming. That was cheeky. We are. We are a big investor in the United States. We have many million customers, 12,000 employees. We're one of the largest auto lenders, and we recently launched a fully digital bank called Open Bank. We strongly believe banks have a pivotal role in the economy, and we can accelerate growth and help many more customers. That's what we're doing in the United States. So, as Brian pointed out, we very much welcome your focus on deregulation and reducing bureaucracy. So my question is, what are your priorities in this regard and how fast is this going to happen? Thank you very much. I think it's going to. Thank you. And congratulations. I know very much about your bank, and you've done a fantastic job. Congratulations. We are going to move very quickly. We've moved very quickly. We've done things in the last three days that nobody thought were possible to do in years, and it's all taking effect. It's going to have a huge impact on the economy, a huge positive impact. Money was being wasted on crazy things. I mean, The Green New Deal was such a total disgrace how that was perpetrated. And it was conceived of by people that were average students, less than average students, I might add, and never even took a course in energy or the environment. It was just a game. Remember, the world was going to end in 12 years. Remember that? Well, the 12 years has come and gone. It was going to end. It was going to all foam into earth. But, you know, the time has come. These people, and they really. They really scared the Democrats large. I can't say the Republicans. Republicans maybe could have fought harder to stop it, but it's been a tremendous waste of. A tremendous waste of money. You know, during my four years, we had the cleanest air, we had the cleanest water, and yet we had the most productive economy in the history of our country. We had the most productive economy until Covid came. We had the most productive in the history of our country by far. And actually, you could look worldwide, we were beating everybody from China to everybody else. So. And we think we really now, with what we have learned and all of the other things that have taken place, we think we can even far surpass that. Actually far, far surpass it. But we do. One thing we're going to be demanding is we're going to be demanding respect from other nations. Canada. We have a tremendous deficit with Canada. We're not going to have that anymore. We can't do it. I don't know if it's good for them, as you probably know. I say you can always become a state, and if you're a state, we won't have a deficit. We won't have to tariff you, et cetera, et cetera. But Canada has been very tough to deal with over the years, and it's not fair that we should have a $200 billion or $250 billion deficit. We don't need them to make our cars, and they make a lot of them. We don't need their lumber because we have our own forests, et cetera, et cetera. We don't need their oil and gas. We have our. We have more than anybody. So, you know, just as an example with Mexico. We're dealing with Mexico, I think very well. And we're just, you know, we just want to be treated fairly with other nations because there's hardly a nation in the world. And I blame this on us, and I blame it on politicians that for some reason, I'm probably mostly at stupidity, but you could also say other reasons, but mostly stupidity. They've allowed other nations to take Advantage of the US we can't allow that to happen anymore. You know, we have debt, it's a very small debt when you compare it to value, the value of the assets that we have. But we don't want to do that. We want to just have debt be obliterated. And we'll be able to do that fairly rapidly. And a lot of good things are going to happen. And honestly, good things are going to happen for the world and good things are going to happen for the people that are dealing with us. Allies and beyond allies, one thing very important, I really would like to be able to meet with President Putin soon and get that war ended. And that's not from the standpoint of economy or anything else. It's from the standpoint of millions of lives are being wasted. Beautiful young people are being shot in the battlefield. You know, the bullet, very flat land, as I said, and the bullet goes. There's no, there's no hiding. And a bullet, the only thing going to stop the bullet is a human body. And you have to see, I've seen pictures of what's taken place. It's a carnage. And we really have to stop that war. That war is horrible. And I'm not talking economy, I'm not talking economics, I'm not talking about natural resources. I'm just talking about there's so many young people being killed in this war and that's not including the people that have been killed as the cities are being, you know, knocked down building by building. So we really should get that stopped. Likewise in the Middle East. I think we've made a lot of progress in the Middle east and I think that's going to, that's going to come along pretty well. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. President. We know that most consequential relationship in the world is between the US and China. US 28% of the global economy, China close to 20. That's almost half of the global GDP. And we know that you called President Xi Jinping last Friday. We heard that you had a good discussion. How do you see the relationship between the US and China in the next four years under your leadership?

Steve Bannon
I want to warn you of a huge change that could be coming to our money in our bank accounts. First, think back to 9, 11, shortly after the government pushed through the Patriot Act. This gave the government power to spy on innocent Americans by monitoring our phone and email and tracking our movement across the Internet. Now Jim Rickards, editor of the Independent Financial Newsletter, Strategic Intelligence and New York Times best selling author, is warning about a coming event that could elevate this governmental surveillance to a terrifying new level. In fact, some of the guests I've had on the War Room believe that the government will soon expand their powers to track our every move. If we say the wrong things on social media, donate to the wrong causes, buy firearms, or even vote maga, the government may be able to shut us out of our bank accounts. I can't say for sure if this will happen, but it's an interesting and dire warning. Fortunately, Jim Rickards, an American patriot and friend of mine, has made it his mission to educate us on what he believes is coming and how to protect yourself from the possibility of programmable money. Watch Jim's warning video now before it's censored like I've been in the past. Go to rickards war room.com that's rickardswarroom.com now to see the video.

Donald Trump
He called me, but I see it very good. I think that we're going to have a very good relationship. All we want is fairness. We just want a level playing field. We don't want to take advantage. We've been having massive deficits with China. Biden allowed it to get out of hand. He's $1.1 trillion deficit's ridiculous. And it's just an unfair relationship. And we have to make it just fair. We don't have to make it phenomenal. We have to make it a fair relationship. Right now, it's not a fair relationship. The deficit is massive as it is with other countries, a lot of Asian countries actually. But we have deficits that are very big and we can't, we can't keep doing that. So we're not going to keep doing that. But I like President Xi very much. I've always liked him. We always had a very good relationship. It was very strained with COVID coming out of Wuhan. Obviously that strained it. I'm sure it strained it with a lot of people, but that strained our relationship. But we always had a great relationship, I would say, and we look forward to doing very well with China and getting along with China. Hopefully China can help us stop the war with in particular Russia, Ukraine. They have a great deal of power over that situation and we'll work with them. And I mentioned that with, during our phone conversation with President Xi and hopefully we could work together and get that stopped. We'd like to see denuclearization, in fact, with President Putin prior to an election result which was frankly ridiculous. We were talking about denuclearization of our two countries and China would have come along. China has a much smaller right now nuclear armament than us or field than us. But they're going to be catching it at some point over the next four or five years. And I will tell you that President Putin really liked the idea of cutting way back on nuclear. And I think the rest of the world, we would have gotten them to follow. And China would have come along too. China also liked it. Tremendous amounts of money are being spent on nuclear and the destructive capability is something that we don't even want to talk about today because you don't want to hear it. It's too depressing. So we want to see if we can denuclearize. And I think that's very possible. And I can tell you that President Putin wanted to do it. He and I wanted to do it. We had a good conversation with China. They would have been involved and that would have been an unbelievable thing for the planet. Mr. President, when you're back here in Davos next year, will there be then a peace agreement with Ukraine and Russia by then? Well, you're going to have to ask Russia. Ukraine is ready to make a deal. Just so you understand, this is a war that should have never started. If I were president, it would never have started. This is a war that should have never ever been started. And it wasn't started during my. There was never even talk about it. I knew that it was the apple of President Putin's eye, but I also knew that there was no way he was going in and he wasn't gonna go in. And then when I was out, bad things happened, bad things were said, a lot of stupidity all around and you end up with what you have now. You have all these bombed out cities. They look like demolition sites with many people killed. I think the thing that you'll see about Ukraine is that far more people have died than is being reported. And I've seen that, but far, far more people have died. When you look at a city that's become a demolition site where big buildings have been collapsed by missiles hitting them and everything else, and they say one person was slightly injured. No, no, many people were killed. Those are big buildings. I was surprised at how that was my business. These are buildings that go two and three blocks long. They're 20 stories high. They're big powerful buildings and they were knocked down. And there were a lot of people in those buildings that announced that two people were injured. That's not true. So I think you're gonna find that there were many more people killed in Ukraine, in the Ukraine war than anybody has any idea. But if you look now, so many of the people being killed are soldiers just facing each other with guns, rifles and drones. The new form of warfare, drones. And it's a very sad thing to see. And when you see pictures of the fields that I see, nobody wants to see it. You'll never be the same. Thank you very much, Mr. President. On behalf of all the 3,000 participants here in Davos, we really, really underline that. Joining us the third day in your presidency live, taking questions here is so appreciated. And we are already ready for receiving you next year in person. So thank you very much and all the best from Davos. Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you.

Steve Bannon
Okay, wow. Let's keep it. Let's keep the shot. Let's keep the shot right there. Yes. Thank you. Perfect. Split screen. Wow. The revolution of common sense. Incredible. Let's break that down to kind of component pieces. The, the most interesting was the. Yeah, fine. The most interesting was the groveling to start off with Klaus Schwab. I want to go back to this was a dead politician who's risen. The comments we pulled from Davos earlier that, you know, Trump was just dis and dismissed in the years he was out, they thought he'd never come back. And to see Klaus Schwab, and Klaus Schwab is the high priest of evil in the world today. A pure, thoroughly evil individual that has caused so much damage and destruction from Build Back Better to, you know, the reset, the great reset, all of it. A truly evil acolyte of Henry Kissinger and the entire globalist crowd. Just absolutely incredible. And he groveled in front of Trump. I could have more locker room talk about that, but let's just say he groveled. How great Trump was. President Trump in his remarks, just a full beatdown and particularly at the beginning. I mean, it was Reagan esque. We're going to have actually Captain Fennell from Switzerland tonight at 5:00. He was blown away and said it was Reagan esque. I mean, this was at a level I don't think people have seen before. I want to go where I got him, Larry. Taunton stayed with us, nor Ben Laden's outside. Let's go to Larry first. Larry, your initial thoughts, your hot takes on what you just saw with President Trump. This amazing speech and then 20 minutes speech. 20 minutes of Q and A thoughts, sir.
- [56:11]
Donald Trump
Yes, I thought it was terrific, Steve. I appreciated the fact that he was very presidential, but at the same time he was very firm in stating what the goals actually are. And Listen, the people at Davos don't like him and he doesn't particularly like them, but he nonetheless agreed to speak.
- [56:35]
Steve Bannon
In their forum and he made it very clear that he's pro American, he's not a globalist.
- [56:41]
Donald Trump
And listen, I want to tell you this, and I'm sure Noor has picked up on this as well. There has been genuine panic in Davos this week. I thought I would encounter it, but I've encountered it a lot more than I thought that I would. I sent you that clip where you had Graham Allison from the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard talking about the resurrection of Trump. They don't like what they're seeing.
- [57:11]
Steve Bannon
And it's not merely that Trump is.
- [57:14]
Donald Trump
Not a globalist, it's that he is a committed anti globalist and they know it. And that they know that their globalist agenda is deeply imperiled and particularly because, you know, yes, he's lame duck in the sense that he can't run again, but there's the potential here for a 12 year run by, by Maga and, and, and I'm just curious to see how that's all going to play out at Davos.
- [57:45]
Steve Bannon
Larry, what is your, what is your social media? We got to bounce and get to know her. We got Mike Lindell. What's your, what's your social media?
- [57:51]
Donald Trump
It is at Larry. Larry Taunton T A U N T O N at Larry Taunton. Yeah.
- [57:59]
Steve Bannon
Thank you, brother. A lot longer than a 12 year run. It's going to be a 50 year run, but thank you. The American nationals nor Ben Laden. American nationalism right there. Pulled out of the Paris Climate Accords. Pulled out of World Health Organization. Your takes on this, ma'am.
- [58:14]
Donald Trump
Steve, can I share what was my favorite part of that event?
- [58:21]
Steve Bannon
Sure.
- [58:22]
Donald Trump
Can you hear me? So my favorite part I would have to say, my favorite part I would have to say was during the Q and A when he called out the CEO of Bank of America for their treatment of conservatives. And I'll add to that that we will never forget what they did after January 6th when they actually handed over the information of patriots who were in or around Washington D.C. during that time frame over to the weaponized national security apparatus. And we will never forget, as I just said so the fact that he, that he so bluntly called him out specifically was really great. And overall the speech.
- [59:09]
Steve Bannon
Nor hang up. We're get you I wanted to get you on a five. We have more time. Maybe we'll get you an espresso. What's your social between now and then what's your social media? Because we run out of time. I want to get your. I want to get your deep drill down. We're not going to get sleepy. Nor tonight. We're going to get a hot Coke or espresso in you and have Wide awake. Nor what's your social media.
- [59:28]
Donald Trump
You can find me on NormanLadden.substack.com and at Norman Ladding nor bin Laden on Twitter. I'll do my best and hopefully I have some battery left on my phone because I'll be driving.
- [59:42]
Steve Bannon
Well, hopefully we'll let you. We'll let you. We'll let you reboot it. Noor bin Laden from Davos. Thank you. We're going to have tonight, we're going to open about this. It was monumental. Not just the speech part, but also the Q and A of which is the best line I had it. Hey, Xi called me. He did not call. He did not call President Xi that. He said President Xi called him very important. Mike. Mike Lindell. We only got about a minute. The president took mainstage at Davos. It was monumental. We're going to go through it this afternoon. What do you got for us? Sell me a pillow, brother.
