Donald Trump
Protection of any kind to be given. Reopening our borders and stopping all immigration enforcement in our country. They want to have our borders be open again. We opened, we took in 25 million people. We've gotten a lot of them out. Tremendous numbers of people that should never have been here. Over four long years before my election, these same radical lunatic Democrats let 25 million people pour across our borders like they were nothing. Like they were non existent. These people were totally unvetted, unchecked, including murderers, drug dealers, gang members, vicious criminals, even the criminally insane. In 2024, the American people voted in a landslide to stop the invasion of our country. And I won all seven swing states by millions and millions of votes. We won the electoral college by a massive number. We won the popular vote. Millions and votes. Just millions. It was. This was a big election. I loved every minute of it. And for the first time, no Republicans done anything like this in decades. But for the first time, we won the counties of America. That's a big one. 2,700 to 525. 2,700 to 525. 87% of the vote. We won 87% of the counties. In other words, it was a mandate like our country has not seen in many decades. It was a mandate for an ideology, which is an ideology basically of common sense. We want strong borders, we want a powerful military. We want good education. We want to have homes for people and low interest rates and no inflation. And right now, my polls are better than they've ever been before. You know, I heard the other day, I think that he's losing the MAGA base. I said, really? Because of the war. See, I get into a war, of course they call it a war. I call it a military conflict. But there's a legal reason for that. But you get into a war or a military operation or conflict for you, and then they say, my base. I said, no, no, MAGA's stronger than ever because MAGAs make America great again. But my MAGA people, which is the greatest phrase in the history of politics, it's the most important movement by far, probably in the history of the world. I mean, you know, there's never been anything like this. And in fact, just a few days ago, you have to understand the fake news right back. Oh, that's a lot of fake news. Yeah. So you brought a lot of fake news with you. They must know you're going to make a speech at some point, because look at the. But what happened is the fake news was saying he may. They hope. You know, it's like, oh, we got to get rid of this guy. They say he may be losing his backpace and that would be maybe the end of him. And then I happen to be watching cnn, which is terrible. They treat me terribly. In fact, just a few days ago, CNN had a poll that had me at 100% of Maga voters, they said they've never seen anything like that. Can you put that up? I actually said if you could put it up. Do you have the technology to put it up? Go ahead, give it a shot. You know, sometimes you look at the polling data and there are numbers that just jump off the screen at you. And this is one of those, because just take a look here. MAGA, GOP view of Trump approve 100%. 100%. If you are a member of MAGA and the GOP, you approve of Donald John Trump, 0% say that they disapprove. You don't have to be a mathematical genius to know you can't go higher than 100%. He is the 1972 Miami dollar. Good technology. Thank you. I figured you'd have good tech. I said, I wonder if they could put that ball up. We just did it two minutes ago. No, but I was watching this and I'm hearing them saying, could he be losing the MAGA base? I don't think so. You know why? Because MAGA wants to win, number one. Number two, they want our country protected. They don't want another country out there that's hostile and crazy to have a nuclear weapon. And number three, they like us protecting certain allies, whether it's Israel or Saudi Arabia or Qatar or uae, any of them, they want that. MAGA wants strength and they want victory. They want success. And that's what we have and we have been very, very successful. You know, when I went into Venezuela, I said, because I campaigned on the fact peaceful strength you wouldn't have to use, I built this great military. I said, you'll never have to use it, but sometimes you have to use it. And Cuba's next by the way. But pretend I didn't say that, please. Pretend I didn't say please, please, please. Media, please disregard that statement. Thank you very much. Cuba's next. So despite the radical left Democrat shutdown, we will continue to defend the sovereign borders of the United States of America. And we'll defend our allies, your ally. You didn't know they were that tough, did you? You didn't know they were pretty tough. Iran not tough anymore. Now we'll continue to deport dangerous criminal aliens from our country. Just days ago, an 18 year old girl in Chicago named Sheridan Gorman was gunned down by a savage criminal alien led in by sleepy Joe Biden and released in a Democrat sanctuary city. He was an animal. The Same month an 83 year old veteran, highly regarded person was shoved onto the subway tracks and murdered by an illegal alien. With a long criminal history in New York City. These are vicious, criminal thugs, disgusting human beings that Democrats have defunded our airports to protect. They want our airports to be defunded so that these people can come into our country. Not going to happen. We're not going to have it. That's why this week I deployed ICE to our airports to help reduce the delays. People there are doing a great job, but they didn't want to pay them. The Democrats didn't want to pay them. And a short time ago, I also ordered emergency funding to resume paying the TSA agents immediately. They're getting paid. Democrats must stop their dangerous and destructive shutdown and reopen the Department of Homeland Security without delay. And it's time that they start thinking properly. That's why they lost in such a landslide. And put America first. It's time that they start thinking about America first. And we're honored to be joined tonight by many distinguished guests from around the world, including FII Institute Chairman Yasser Alro. Mayan. Where are you, Yasser? Come here. Stand up. Yes, yes, please. What a nice. What a nice name. And his son, Faisal. And by the way, I've known him really well, but, you know, I've never heard his last name. So I'm saying, who the hell is. Yes, I know Yasser said, who the hell is that guy? But I know him by Yasser. Right. I didn't know if it was your first name, your next name. All I know is he's got a lot of power. All I know is he's got a lot of cash. And he's another great leader, actually, and he's a good friend of mine. So nice to be with you. And nice to be with your son. Son's beautiful. Saudi Minister of Finance, Mohammed Al Jadan. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Nice to see you again. Good job. I mean, if you want to be a Minister of Finance, Saudi Arabia is a good place to do it, right? You don't have any dearth. There's no dearth of funds. Most places, they say, where are we going to get the money? How about a tax increase? Minister of State Mohammed Al Sheikh Mohammed. Thank you very much. Great honor. Chairman of the Saudi Esports Federation and His Royal Highness, Prince Faisal. And of course. Please. Thank you. And of course, the kingdom's wonderful ambassador to the United States, Her Royal Highness, Princess Rima, who's great. She's great. Also, I want to thank. Thank the President of Sierra Leone, Julius Madabile Madabello. I love that name. Thank you. Great honor to have you. And Chairman of the FII Institute Executive Committee, Richard Attias. Thank you. Richard. As well as Special envoy. I call him Henry Kissinger. Who doesn't leak because Henry is a big leaker. Richard Nixon would beat him. Henry, somebody's leaking on us. There's somebody leaking. Henry would say, we'll get to the bottom. It was Henry that was leaking. That wasn't good. So we have Henry Kissinger better than Henry Kissinger, and he doesn't leak. Special Envoy, Steve Witkoff. Thank you. Steve. Doing a great job. And he and Jared, Jared Kushner, they're like a team. And boy, I tell you, they're a good team. High iq. It's a high IQ team. You want to find your high IQ people? Director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy, Michael Kratzios, a Greek individual. Where's Michael? He was at the Greek. Greek event. Hi, Michael. He was at the Greek event yesterday. So I know he's Greek. They asked me, please, sir, would you introduce Michael? CMS administrator. A phenomenal man, a brilliant man. You know, he had a show on television for like, 20 years that was so great. I was on his show. He said, would you do me a favor? Would you go on my show? I said, yeah, yeah, I'll go on your show. It's a big show. It was very successful. And I went on his show, and he determined that I should lose weight. This is what I went through. He said. He said, I think you should lose weight. I said, I don't need you saying that in front of millions of people. You don't have to tell me that. But he's a great guy. And I don't know how he ever got the job after that, but he's the most powerful man, actually medicine. Him and Bobby, what a team. Bobby is great. He's great. Dr. Oz, you know that, Mehmet Oz. And they're coming up with things that are amazing, a little out of the box, but the out of the box guys are really finding things that are amazing. Autism, that's so important to us. We want to find out why is it happening in such large numbers all over the world, but why is it happening in our country all over the world? And you're coming up with some pretty impressive studies and answers. A really good friend of mine, the president of FIFA, Gianni Infantino. And Gianni is great. You know, when I didn't get the Nobel Peace Prize, you got to. I don't care. Norway has lost. So credible. I stopped eight Wars. I even stopped India and Pakistan, and they were going at it for a week that nine planes already shot down. They were. They were in a war. I stopped them. You know how I stopped them? I said, if you keep fighting, I'm going to put a 250% tariff on each one. No, no, no, you cannot do that. I said, I'm doing it. All right, we won't fight. Anyway, that's how I stopped him. I used tariffs to stop. You ever hear of anything like that? It was too much for them to bear, but they were going to be in a war. And the prime minister, actually a great guy, the prime minister of Pakistan, said President Trump saved 30 to 50 million people. Two nuclear countries would have happened. And I figured, I mean, if I don't get the Nobel Prize for Peace, nobody will ever get it. I didn't get it. I'm not surprised. I didn't get it. And the person that got it was shocked. She's a wonderful woman, too, by the way. And she said, no, no, no, I don't deserve it. President Trump. Does nobody deserve it. Nobody ever does. I stopped eight wars. Yasser, do you know what that is? Eight wars? You didn't stop. Eight was. You started eight wars. Yes, I stopped eight wars. But it was a little early, because in all fairness, it was for the year before, right? It was for 24. But still, you thought they would have made an exception, but they didn't do that. You watch what happens. But it was sort of amazing. So she was so nice, and she actually came to the White House and she presented me with her award. She's a wonderful woman. But stopping wars is, I think, is my. It's the best. I think I do it the best. I stop wars that nobody thought. President Putin called me. He said, I can't believe you stopped this one and this one, which are impossible. Azerbaijan was an impossible war to stop. We stopped it. But we also have a man who's probably good at stopping wars. I know he's good at being a tough guy. He is a tough guy. He's been very tough on crime, and he's done a great job. Miami Mayor Francis Suarez is here someplace. Francis, hi, how are you? Now we have a great son. He's got the best genes, I think, of any human being I've ever known. He's my son, Don Trump. Don. He's a great guy. And his fiance, Bettina. Good. Bettina, Good. Now, my son's got the greatest genes in history. I'm a big believer in genes. By the Way I will tell you, my daughter Tiffany and her husband Michael, my beautiful daughter, right? And they have a new child. The most beautiful, the most beautiful guy we've seen, right? Blows us all away, right? He's great. Thank you for being here. And countless other business leaders. We have so many friends of mine here, so many business leaders, but we can't go on because we have a couple of moments more to discuss the world and the economy. Over the past 14 months, the Trump administration has achieved perhaps the most dramatic one year turnaround of any nation in all of history. A short time ago, a man that we just discussed, the king, the future king of Saudi Arabia, and I also love the king of Saudi Arabia. What a man he is. When I was there, we bonded, he would grab me to get up. He was a little frail at the time and this was a long time ago and he's still doing well. And he grabbed my arm to get up when I was sitting next to him. And they said, that's the only time he's ever grabbed anybody. He would grab me all the time. And I said, I think he likes me. And he did like me and he still likes me. And he's a great man. And say hello to him. He's a great guy with a great son. But a short time ago we were together and he looked at me and he said, you know, it's amazing, one year ago you were a dead country. Now you're the hottest country anywhere in the world. He didn't think this was going to happen. He didn't think he'd be kissing my ass. He really didn't. He thought he'd be just another American president that was a loser, where the country was going downhill. But now he has to be nice to me. You tell him he better be nice to me. He's got to be. But it was really something. No, he said, though, he said, you know, it's amazing president because he's a very smart, but a regular kind of a guy. He said, you know, it's amazing President, a year ago, in that case, it was a year and a half, it was six months ago. But a year ago you were a dead country. Now you're literally the hottest country anywhere in the world. And that was before we beat the hell out of Iran, you know, now I think he's got to say, even better. I think we have to up it. But he's fantastic. And everything we do, we're working to make America the number one place on earth to do business. We passed the largest tax cuts in American history, including no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, no tax on Social Security. For our great seniors, we provided 100% expensing and bonus depreciation so that anyone who wants to build a factory can deduct the entire cost of equipment and the entire factory in the first year. That used to take 38 years to do. You'd taken little drips. Little drips. Now it's done. And, you know, a lot of people remember that my first four years was the most successful time we've ever had financially in the history of our country. We had an unbelievable success. But this is much better. And by the way, when this war ends, it's going to be like a rocket ship. I thought we were going to go down more, and I thought oil prices were going to go up higher than they are now. It's not finished yet. I'm not saying it's sort of finished, but it's not finished. It's got to be finished. And I thought that we would see a bigger drop in stock. Hasn't been that bad. You know, it's sort of crazy. I hit 50,000 on the Dow. People said that wouldn't be possible within four years. I did it in one year. And then we hit 7,000 on the S and P. People said that's even harder than hitting 50,000 on the Dow. And I did that in less than one year. Toward the end of the year, both of them. We broke every record, every stock record we broke. And you're big beneficiaries because so many of you invest in the United States and keep doing it because it's going to be a rocket ship. You watch. But then I said, all right, do I have to do this? We have a country that's sick and demented and they have a nuclear weapon or they want to have one. They were very close together. Remember, they were two weeks away. They were two weeks away. If they would have. If we didn't hit that, I call it the nuclear dust. I use the term nuclear dust. If we didn't knock the hell out of them, they would have had a nuclear weapon within two to four weeks, and they would have used it on you and on Israel and on everyone else. And I said, we really do have to stop and go on a little different journey for a little while and take them out and then go back to life. And that's what we did. And we did it violently. We did it powerfully. We did it with the respect of the world, and we helped a lot of allies and we learned about other allies. We learned that other allies weren't there. We didn't need them, but they weren't there if we did need them. And that's going to be very costly for them. The stock market has set 53 all time record highs since the election, adding $9 trillion in value to America's savings and retirement accounts and 401 s. Everybody is benefiting by this. And more Americans are working today than at any time in the history of our country. At any time. To me, that's the number one stat. More Americans are working today by far than at any time in the history of our country. And in 14 months, we've lifted 3.3 million Americans off of food stamps. That's a record. And Biden and his allies wrecked our country. They wreaked havoc on our economy and they gave us the worst inflation in American history. Under Trump, during the last three months of 2025, we got core inflation down to 1.6%. And right now, the average tax refund for filers because of the great big beautiful bill has been close to $5,000. It's a lot of money for a family. And this, you know, when I'm talking to Saudi Arabia and I'm talking about $5,000 said, look at me, 5,000, that's like a penny, right, David? That's like a penny. Saudi Arabia is not into $5,000, but it's Saudi Arabia. I just want to ask, are the Saudis impressed by the fact that a family has saved $5,000? I know they're looking like, what the hell is 5,000? Their shoes cost them more than 5,000. But that's the way it goes. We're talking about rumor, we're talking about the real world. In his entire term, Joe Biden, I have two terms for him, Crooked Joe and Sleepy Joe. And I've never, it's always been pretty, you know, I do sometimes a poll, which is a more accurate term, sleepy or crooked? Pretty much even I like sleepy. And his entire term, $1 trillion of new investment in the United States, A lot less. And in our first 11 months, 12th month is coming. It's going to be big. We did $18 trillion. Think of it, less than 1 trillion for four years. In 11 months, we did 18 trillion. And we have factories being built all over the country at a level that's never been seen before. And a lot of that has to do with the fact that I allow these plants and everything to build their own electricity. Well, we need big electricity. They're all building their own electricity. But a lot of it has to do with the tax bill. A of them, because it's really the biggest tax reduction bill in history. The great big beautiful bill. And a lot of it has to do with the one year deductibility where they, you build a plant and you take the whole thing as a deduction. I did that in my first term also, but I had it for one year. Now I have it for 10 years. So it's pretty amazing and pretty amazing what we're seeing. But it all started with our historic visit to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. My first visit was to the future king. And on that first foreign trip of my presidency last May, the Crown Prince announced that Saudi Arabia would be investing an incredible almost $1 trillion in the United States, which he later increased. As just a few examples of these new partnerships, Oracle will be building a $14 billion worth of cloud computing and AI infrastructure in the Kingdom. I didn't know that. David, we have to talk to your father about that. Why isn't he doing it here? David, I'm very upset with you. But. And by the way, David has done a very good job. David Ellis said he just had a very big win. And your father's very proud of you because your father said that's a tough one and you got it. You got it done. It's going to be a great success. You're going to be a great success. You're going to blow away your father. And he'll be very happy about that because he loves you. But it's a great family. Great family. Say hello to him. Okay? You're going to have a big, big success with the deal he made. Boeing is selling dozens of 737 airplanes in a deal valued at $4.8 billion and supporting approximately 20,000 U.S. jobs. And during our trip, the United States and Saudi Arabia and I must say, also Qatar, we visited, they were fantastic. And UAE, we visited. They were fantastic, all three of them. We took in a total of almost $3 trillion from just those three countries. But Saudi Arabia signed the largest defense sales agreement in American history, nearly $142 billion of the finest military equipment anywhere in the world. We make the best military equipment in the world by far. Nobody's ever figured out the Patriot. I mean, when you could shoot down 101 out of 101, that's good stuff, right? And those suckers are traveling at 2,000, Mr. Minister, 2,500 miles an hour. You better hope you don't have chokers sitting behind that desk. Because if they're about one second late, that's the end of it. You know, you say, well, we missed them. They're coming. When I hosted the Crown Prince at the White House last fall, we officially designated the kingdom as a major non NATO ally. First time. And for the very first time, we agreed to sell Saudi Arabia perhaps the most capable fighter jet ever built, the F35. The F35 is amazing, and we sell them very sparingly. We don't want other people to have them. I'm confident that this partnership and so many others around the world will continue to grow and thrive. Because under President Trump, America once again fights and competes for one thing. We fight to win. We fight for justice and we fight to win. We don't fight to be politically correct like we did under other presidents, where we fought to just keep fighting, fighting and fighting. And, you know, when I took out isis, I was told by generals it would take four to five years. And I met General Raisin Cain, who's our top person, head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. I said, if I ever do this thing again, if I ever get in, I'm putting that guy as the head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. I went to see him in Iraq and I said, why is it taking so long to destroy isis? We have the best weapons in the world. And I understood why. But I had generals, I called them the television generals. They weren't any good. Mattis, Millie, they weren't any good. They were lousy. But they said, sir, it would take about four years. When I went over and I met General Kaine, I said, how long will it take? Four weeks, sir. You have a lot of time left over. I said, wait a minute. Did you say four weeks? Four weeks, sir. It'll take four weeks. You have a lot of time left over. That's our new head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. And he said, how do you do that? Well, sir, we were only able to fight from this one very far away location because nobody wanted to use all of our portable runways that we have all over the Middle East. We have portable runways. Can you believe it? We have everything. But nobody wanted to use them because they didn't want to insult the country where the Runway was located. I said, they wouldn't even know. Do you think some country's going to know when we have jets taking off? They don't know. He said, well, I agree with you, sir, but whether they know or not, who cares? He said, so we have about 17 locations that we could take off from. This one, it took eight hours to get to the destination. By the time we got there, we had to refuel all the time and we had to come back. He said, but we have 17 different locations, sir. And, sir, we're going to hit him from the left, we're going to hit him from the right. We're going to hit him from the east and the west. We're going to hit them from above. And you could see he was getting crazy. And I said, what's your first name? He said, raisin, sir. What do you mean, Raisin? My name is Raisin. He said, you mean your name is Raisin Cain? And he said, yes, sir. You're the guy I'm looking for. I've been looking for you for four freaking years. I found Raisin Cain. His first name is Dan, but his nickname is Raisin. And I love that. I loved raising Cain. And I said, if I ever get in, this is before I decide to even run. I said, if I ever run, and if I win, that guy's going to be the head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. That's exactly what happened then. He was all for me, and I'm all for him, but he's a great general. He's like one of these football coaches. That's great. You know, there's some great ones. Johnny, right? And all they do is they sit. Their wives are complaining. Everyone's complaining. They never go. What? They don't see anybody. They just go into the room and they study filament, tape it. Then they go out and win. And everyone says, okay. And other guys are out there playing golf. They're not winning. And he's been great. And Pete Hegseth has been amazing. He's been amazing. Pete has done a great job. He was born for it. I really believe he was born for it. We have a lot of great people. We have a lot. We had a great first four years, but the people we have now, you know, look, when I won, I'd never done it before. I ran. Everyone thought I was doing it for fun. Even Steve Witkoff. He said, you're doing it for fun, right? No, I guess. I don't know. I didn't know what I was doing it for, maybe. But they all said, no, he's going to run, and in September, he's going to have a lot of fun. He'll drop out. Then the debates came, and I did good in the debates. And we're knocking people off. All senators, governors. Mostly senators and governors, all professional politicians, smart guys. You can't be stupid and be a senator or a governor. It doesn't work that way. Other than Biden, he got lucky. He was in a room, they locked him in a room and he never got to talk. So that's a whole other story. But I ran and then all of a sudden there were 18 people, including me. Then there were 15 and there were 12 and then there were nine, then there were six, five. It's like a rocket ship. Four. Then all of a sudden I won. But I never did it before I went to Washington, I said, I've only been here 17 times and I've never slept over. I didn't know anybody. So I had to take recommendations from Rhinos and some good people. I mean they were recommendations and some were really good. I mean I had some great people. Look, I rebuilt our entire military. In the first term we got the largest tax cuts in history, the largest regulation cuts in history. The first time we did good. But I didn't have the same people generally. But I went home and I watched this thing closely and by that time I knew the good, the bad and the ugly. I knew the good ones, I knew the bad ones. And when I came back I picked great people. We have a great, we have an unbelievable, we're talking military now, but we have an unbelievable group because I got to know it. I was never in Washington, you know, it's hard. I never ran for class president. All of a sudden, ladies and gentlemen, your next President of the United States is Donald Trump. I said, really? I never did this before, Johnny. I said how the hell did this happen? Right? But it did happen and we had a great first term, but the second term is blowing it away, to be honest with you. It's really blowing it away. And when we, when we decide to leave, you know, regime change, I guess we change the regime. The regime keeps, gets, it gets blown up every two days. No, everybody's afraid to announce who's the head. We don't even know who the hell the leader is. So I think we have regime change already, but we're going to be, at some point we'll be leaving and I think you're going to see a rocket ship. Because we won't have that dark cloud hanging over our head, Steve. Right. That we did before, which was a nuclear armed, sick country of Iran because it might have affected your country, Saudi Arabia and the others, but. And it certainly affected Israel more than anybody, the hatred they have for Israel. But it also affected us because with modern day equipment they can fly. And how about the fact that they flew a missile 2,700 miles the other day, they didn't say they had that. Nobody knew they had, that went 2,700 miles. So we learned a lot. But we're determined to have the best technology, the brightest minds, the greatest businesses, and the strongest economic and security partnerships of any nation nation anywhere in the world. And for this reason, we're also committed to ensuring the United States remains number one in artificial intelligence. We're doing great. We're leading China by a lot. And I'll not allow radical left maniacs to sacrifice American AI leadership to red tape or political correctness. It's going good. We're doing really well. We're building factories all over America, the biggest in the world. And in America, we don't fear the future. We invent the future. We're really inventing the future. We have the most brilliant minds. And we invite all nations to join us in building the most powerful AI ecosystem on the planet. We're building more automobile plants than any time in the last 50 years for a lot of reasons. I think, number one, maybe the election. But number two, and a close number two is tariffs. The tariffs are driving people in from Canada, Mexico, Germany, Japan, South Korea. The coming in, we're building auto plants all over the United States. Tens of billions. I met Mr. Toyota in Japan. I said, what's your name? He's about 92 years old, sharp as attack. What's your name? Toyota. I said, you're rich. I said, do you have anything to do with automobiles? Yes. What do you have to do with Toyota? I own it. And I said, well, do you want to make an investment? Yes. We're going to spend $10 billion spending $10 billion right now on building five plants. Everybody is. They're all coming into America. We're going to be hotter than we were 70 years ago when we dominated the automobile. We made all of the cars. My administration has also worked tirelessly to ensure that America remains at the bleeding edge of crypto revolution was we're really doing great. And if we're not going to do it, then China is going to take it over. They want to do it. We're going to be the undisputed crypto capital and bitcoin superpower of the world. Bitcoin is very powerful. It's all becoming powerful. So many people now, they want to pay you in crypto. They want to pay you in bitcoin. And we have to be at the top of it in all of these, call it an industry. Last year I signed the landmark Genius act into law creating a clear and simple framework for dollar backed stablecoins. And this was a historic achievement. And I'll not allow Democrats and their big bank donors, although they've had a lot of support for crypto, they will say that the Democrats have been very strong on crypto. They want to see it too, which is shocking, if you want to know the truth. But we don't want any pointless regulations or needless restrictions. We want to have free enterprise, open. America became the world financial capital because we were the strongest and the freest nation on earth. And the Trump administration's going to keep it that way. We're very open and I tell people, if you have problems, call me, call me. And some of them are amazed I actually take their call and get their problem solved. For four long years, our country was pushed to the brink of destruction by radicals and thugs and stupid people who punished success, pillaged our economy, dismantled our borders, and surrendered our strength. But today, all of that is behind us. Our country is prospering again. I think like never before. I would say, you know, it's amazing. I thought I knew I'd do it. I didn't know I was going to do it. I knew I had no idea it was going to be this fast, but you never know. I had no idea I'd be going into Iran. I didn't think we'd have to do that. But it turned out we did. Because they became more and more radicalized and more and more threatening. Our economy is booming again, and America is respected again all over the world, perhaps like never before. With the help of business leaders, innovators, allies and partners like those in this room, incredible people in this room. Incredible successors, the most successful people in the world. We'll seize every opportunity, overcome every challenge, defeat every threat. And America and our allies will thrive and prosper and win like no nations have ever won before. You're going to win like you've never had before. So I want to just thank everybody very much. And I'm asked to take a few questions, and unlike other politicians, they would like the questions screened. I don't ask for screening of the questions. You can ask me anything you want. You can talk sex, you can do whatever the hell you want. I'm here for you. Whatever question you want, you can ask. So do you want to do that? Do we have some people handling this? Here he comes. Look at this man. Very powerful man. Coming up, ladies and gentlemen. We'll take some questions. Good.

Thank you. Thank you very much. Mr. President, thank you so much. And thank you for accepting to take five questions. We don't want to take too much of your time, so let's talk about business in one sentence. Where should the world invest in America right now?
- [39:25]
Donald Trump
Say it. What?
- [39:26]
Interviewer / Moderator
Where the. Where should the world invest in America right now?
- [39:31]
Donald Trump
Well, look, the one that they're going crazy about is AI. Now, sometimes you'll say, let's go the opposite because I've seen it, you know, everyone goes, but AI is going crazy. AI. So my family, we made Don, the whole family. Eric is doing a good job. All of us. Ivanka, we liked real estate. When you can make money in real estate, it's a great business. But I see some of these guys come into my office, they're wearing a T shirt and they're 24 years old. Dad, he's got a net worth of $24 billion. I said, you got to be kidding off a little contraption. So. But the money seems to be right now, AI. And also if you're in school, like you're going to the Wharton School or the Stern School or any of these great schools. I mean, the numbers that they're paying to go into that business is incredible. Where you see people getting a $10 million bonus to sign, like baseball players or football players. We're giving you a 10 million. I mean, I hate to say because it sounds ridiculous, but there have been some hundred million dollar bonuses paid to sign. So I think probably if you're going to say one thing, AI, and just hope that it works, right? You better hope so.

Mr. President, what is the one leadership trait the world is missing right now? What is missing in leadership?
- [41:02]
Donald Trump
Well, it's winning. You got to win. You know, I've watched a lot of people, leaders, great leaders. And you know, the one thing about sports is you break it down into, you know, two hour period, something nice. You don't have to wait a lifetime to find out is somebody a winner or a loser. You got a lot of losers. Mostly losers. Fortunately, it's a good thing to have a lot of losers. I always like to hang around with losers, actually, because it makes me feel better. I hate guys that are very, very successful and you have to listen to their success stories. I like people that like to listen to my success. But I find, and I found this, and I'm only kidding, I want to say that sort of, but. But I find that people that win, it's much easier to lead when you're successful and you win. You know, Vince Lombardi was a Very tough person. A very tough football coach. He was sort of a violent guy, actually. I knew him. But he won. And he got away with things because he won. You know, he said, if you win, winning helps you to become a better leader. People follow you if you win. And not everybody can win. Some people win and some people don't win. But when you win, it's a lot easier to lead.
- [42:17]

Talking about winning, Mr. President, the world is entering in a new economic era. Who do you think are the winners and who do you think will be the losers?
- [42:26]
Donald Trump
Are you talking about U.S. nations?
- [42:28]
Interviewer / Moderator
Yes. Or sectors?
- [42:31]
Donald Trump
The United States right now is the hottest country anywhere in the world by far. And we've done it very quickly because we have a good system now. It's somewhat radicalized because the Democrats are really holding us back. And you better hope they don't get in because they'll destroy a lot of what we've built. But right now, the United States, as the king, future king of Saudi Arabia, said, we're the hottest country anywhere in the world. I must say I respect China greatly because it's amazing that with a system that in theory shouldn't work. You know, we go to school and we go to the best business schools, and we do well in those schools, and we read about free entrepreneurship and we read about all of these different things. But you look at China, how well they do, how well they manufacture. I mean, they manufacture cars. So many that they actually have a contest for who can manufacture the least cars because they have so many cars. You have to have great respect for China, for the job they do, like them or not like them. You have to respect them.
- [43:35]
Interviewer / Moderator
So precisely, you would be going to China in May?
- [43:38]
Donald Trump
Yes, yes, I'll be going. We had a meeting and I called up President Xi. I get along really well with him. He even approved the TikTok deal. He said, I will not approve that deal to other people, not to me. And I thought it was good if we could keep it going. I like it because I'm the number one person on TikTok. Can you believe it? I put a chart up there. Another chart. You want to put another chart up like we did with Fake News cnn? I said. I said, you know, let's see what happens. So we got a group of very big investors, the biggest investors, and they really wanted to buy TikTok. And I did very well on TikTok in the election. I won the youth. You know, I did tremendously well with youth because of TikTok and other things, certain interviews, etcetera But I did very well and I sort of developed a liking for it. And I was told that it will never be approved by China. You had to get approval, and I didn't really care. And then it got to a point where all of these very successful people were willing to pay a lot of money for TikTok. And I called up President Xi, I said, do me a favor. Will you approve, please? It's good. It's good for China, good for us, good for everybody. Would you do me a favor? I know you said it was a hard no. And I said, I know you said no to everybody, but you haven't said no to me. Would you do me a favor? Would you approve it? It's good for China. It's good for us. You have a lot of big investors. They're investing in China. Also have a lot of money in China. I would appreciate it. He said, okay, I'll do it. Nice. It was very nice. And they bought TikTok and it's going to do good. And it was done with the consent of China. We get along well with China. You know, China used to take big advantage of us, but they don't take advantage of us anymore. Now we, you know, we compete very nicely with China. We put tariffs on China. The tariffs got too high. At one point, they were up to 145%. And I was saying, no, put tariffs on that. Put tariffs on for fentanyl, add 20%. And then one day I said, what's China paying now, Sir? They're paying 145%. I said, 145? That's crazy. I got a little carried away, so I got them down to 100. Then I took him down a little more. And I'll never forget, I took him down a little bit from 145 to 100. And the fake news said, donald Trump collapses are in China. He's paying 100%. Nobody pays 100. So anyway, we got it done and now we have a great business relationship with China. I've always had a good relationship with President Xi, except for the COVID situation, because I wasn't thrilled about that. He wasn't thrilled either, by the way, but I wasn't thrilled. But I have great respect for him as a leader. And we had a deal. We had. I was going there and I didn't want to go during the war. I said, look, you know, we have a thing called a war, or as they would rather say, a military operation. This for legal reasons. I say military because as a Military operation. I don't need any approvals. As a war, you're supposed to get approval from Congress, something like that. So I call it a military operation. But we have that going along and I'd like to delay it. So we delayed it a few weeks. So I'll be going very shortly.

Mr. President, we have few leaders here, business leaders from Africa and of course we have His Excellency the President of Sierra Leone. What is your vision about Africa today?
- [47:03]
Donald Trump
Well, I tell you, it's got tremendous potential. Now, I've been hearing about this for a very long time and I have a lot of friends that have bet the ranch on Africa. They're very smart. It's got tremendous earth, it's got tremendous value underground, which is a very important. So do we. So does it matter? We have the biggest, the most oil, gas and coal and everything of any nation on Earth. A big advantage. But Africa has tremendous value on its land. And if they can unify and get together, I think it's got tremendous potential. I have a lot of very smart friends that they're putting everything into Africa.
- [47:43]
Interviewer / Moderator
What do you think, Mr. President, is today the biggest mistake that leaders are
- [47:48]
Donald Trump
making right now not sticking together? I think that NATO made a terrible mistake when they wouldn't send a small amount of military armament when they wouldn't send. Just even acknowledge what we were doing for the world and taking on Iran. I never considered it very risky. But war is always risk. You know, a lot of strange happen. Things happen in war that very bad, but. But I didn't consider it. I know how great I'm. We're the greatest military by far anywhere in the West. Nobody close. I didn't think there was a big risk. But there's always surprises with war. They could be very bad surprises. I mean, wars are lost. It should be won. Many wars are lost. You think a country is going to wipe somebody out and they end up getting wiped out themselves. So it's always risky. But I think a tremendous mistake was when NATO just wasn't there. They just weren't there. It's going to make a lot of money for the United States because we spend hundreds of billions of dollars a year on NATO, hundreds of protecting them. And we would have always been there for them. But now based on their actions, I guess we don't have to be, do we? Mr. President, it sounds like a breaking story. Yes, sir. Is that breaking news? I think we just have breaking news. But that's the fact I've been saying that why would we be there? For them. If they're not there for us, they weren't there for us.
- [49:19]
Interviewer / Moderator
If you had one bet on the future, what would it be?
- [49:24]
Donald Trump
That the United States will, with good leadership, remain the dominant country anywhere in the world. But you still need leadership. I mean, look at the last four years were so bad. With a bad leader, you need leadership. And you know, in theory, you need to have that. You need the open, fair elections. You need a free press. We have a terrible press. We have a very corrupt media. Think of it. I got 96% negative stories and I wanted a landslide. And you know what that means? That means that the media has no credibility. You can't get mostly bad stories, fake stories. They were fake. The polls are fake. That's why I appreciate that one poll that I saw, that 100%. She's never seen 100%. Nobody has. But you have to have a free and open media. And when a media can give you 96 to 97% bad stories, they write stories about it. Trump received 97% bad stories and I wanted a landslide. And that means very simply that the media has no credibility. Because that can't happen now. I also have a voice more than most people. I can come up and talk about it and convince people without necessarily reading the New York Times, which is fake. I mean, if you read the New York Times, you would think we're doing badly against Iran. Remember, they have no Navy wiped out 159 ships at the bottom of the sea in three days. They have no air force, all wiped out. They have very few missiles left. Their drones are at a minimum, their factories are gone. Their leaders are gone. The leaders are all dead. They're all dead. Nobody ever heard of the people that are left. And if you read the Times, you think we're doing poorly. It's so. It's almost treasonous. I have to be honest. It's almost treasonous. But fortunately, we have other media that's fair and honest and honorable. And you have to go out and do some of your own talking because nobody else will. You know the expression I have to sell myself because nobody else will.

My last question, Mr. President, is the same question I asked you last year. What do you want your legacy to be?
- [51:33]
Donald Trump
Well, I'll tell you what. So I told you that I settled eight wars. That means millions and millions of people. Some of those wars were going on. One was 34 years, one was 32 years, one was 29 years, one was 22 years. They were long term wars. And a lot of people being killed every year. So I've saved millions and millions of people. And I mean, I know it doesn't sound right for me to say this, but I'd love my legacy to be made as a great peacemaker because I really believe I'm a peacemaker. It doesn't seem it right now, but I think I'm a peacemaker.

Grant Stitchfeld
Hello, America. We're at CPAC here in Grapevine, Texas. You've been watching President Donald Trump give an extraordinary speech, a lot of news. He made some news in the Q and A, made some news in the speech. Grant Central at the 7 o' clock hour is going to get you caught up on all that. But we've been having some great conversations all day here among the conservatives at the super bowl of politics, CPAC 2026. Joining me right now, a man that I have admired for many years. I come from a law enforcement family. You all know that he is a sheriff. He is a law and order man. He's also a true constitutionalist. Sheriff Richard Mack. Sir, good to have you here. What a great honor.
- [53:40]
Sheriff Richard Mack
Thank you. Thank you.
- [53:43]
Grant Stitchfeld
An extraordinary moment. Half the country believes in law and order. They live pretty peacefully. Crime is way down because of what the FBI and great lawmen like you are doing. The other half is trying to do their best to make the streets less safe, more violent and more terrorizing to Americans. How do we get to this moment in American history? It's kind of crazy.
- [54:03]
Sheriff Richard Mack
Crazy is the right word.
- [54:04]
Grant Stitchfeld
It is.
- [54:05]
Sheriff Richard Mack
Trump derangement syndrome is most of is astonishing to me that the Democrat Party is on the side of crime, drugs, human trafficking. Bring in all the terrorists you want, bring in all the cartels you want and vote for us.
- [54:24]
Grant Stitchfeld
Yeah, yeah.
- [54:25]
Sheriff Richard Mack
And still vote for them. They expect that. And so far it's working.
- [54:31]
Grant Stitchfeld
Yeah, it's crazy. It's crazy. Oh, these blue cities are just extraordinary. What is the key? Obviously, we made a lot of progress since Donald Trump got back into the White House. Crime is down. Sanctuary cities are feeling a little bit of the pain. There is a law on the books. Called the Alien Harboring Act. It basically says if you're holding someone and the government has the right to take them because they're an illegal alien, you're committing a felony. Why doesn't the federal government pull that law out and start arresting some of these sheriffs and mayors doing it?
- [55:03]
Sheriff Richard Mack
General, please start doing criminal investigations on all sanctuary states and cities.
- [55:10]
Grant Stitchfeld
Yeah.
- [55:11]
Sheriff Richard Mack
That all is against the law. So basically what the Democrats are telling us, that they can pass a law to break laws.
- [55:20]
Grant Stitchfeld
Isn't that crazy?
- [55:20]
Sheriff Richard Mack
That's not. That's not possible. And now sheriffs that are standing up to them are being prosecuted. So Sheriff Wagner in Adams County, Washington.
- [55:32]
Grant Stitchfeld
Right.
- [55:32]
Sheriff Richard Mack
Is being sued by the Attorney General of Washington State, Attorney General Brown.
- [55:37]
Grant Stitchfeld
Wow. That's just following the law, right?
- [55:38]
Sheriff Richard Mack
For file. Yeah, for following the law. And Sheriff Bob Songer in Washington told the governor and the state legislature, go ahead, come after me because I'm helping with deportation, because I'm trying to make Washington safer for everyone, even you idiots in the capital in Olympia.
- [55:58]
Grant Stitchfeld
Isn't that amazing? Yeah, it's amazing.
- [56:00]
Sheriff Richard Mack
He's a very good man.
- [56:01]
Grant Stitchfeld
Yeah. There are so many good men and women that serve in the uniform every day. They keep us safe. When you see this constant demonization of ICE or the defund the blue movement, it. How do you keep your men and women's spirits up? How do we help make the men and women who keep us safe today, the guys that are walking around here right now, making sure we're safe here, and how do we help them get through the day?
- [56:23]
Sheriff Richard Mack
Well, first of all, we've got to have their back.
- [56:25]
Grant Stitchfeld
Yeah.
- [56:26]
Sheriff Richard Mack
You know, we've got to have Trump's back. We got to have Tom Holman's back. We got to have the officers on the streets. We got to have their back. And, folks, if you live in one of these blue cities, contact your sheriff and tell him to get out there and make sure that it's safe for the ICE to do their job.
- [56:47]
Donald Trump
Yeah.
- [56:47]
Sheriff Richard Mack
Where are they? Sheriff Dart in Chicago. That's Cook County. Chicago is in Cook County. The sheriff hasn't been doing anything. Los Angeles, what Sheriff Luna doing? He hasn't been doing anything. Why isn't he working with the chief of police and the mayor to make it safer? And if they get in his way, he needs to arrest them. He could do it. He's the ultimate chief law enforcement officer of that county. Los Angeles City is in Los Angeles county where he's the sheriff. And so, folks, the sheriff is the only elected law enforcement officer anywhere in the country. Guess who he reports to? You. You're his boss. So if you, first of all, if you need to ask your sheriff if he's a constitutional sheriff, if and when the Democrats get back into power, you know what they're going to do? They're going to come for your guns. You got to ask your sheriff, if they come for our guns, what are you going to do to stop it? Because I'm telling you right now, the sheriffs of this country have already saved the Second Amendment numerous times.
- [57:57]
Grant Stitchfeld
Right.
- [57:58]
Sheriff Richard Mack
Numerous times. And so no matter what they come and do to you, if you have a good sheriff, you standing with your sheriff can stop all the tyranny of Washington, D.C. and we take America back county by county and state by state.
- [58:16]
Grant Stitchfeld
It is so important. And the power is in the people's hand. I mean, that is still very true. We proved it with Donald Trump putting him back in office. It happens. All right, let me ask you about this. There is a lot of legislation that's pending that could help law enforcement at this exact moment. I mean, we named the drug cartels, foreign terrorist organizations. That's a big win. What's the most important policy thing that Republicans, President Trump can get done before the election that makes sure the men and women in blue have the tools that they need?
- [58:46]
Donald Trump
Well,
- [58:48]
Sheriff Richard Mack
the most important thing that President Trump could get passed in Congress, Save America Act. That's the one. That's the one. Because there's going to continuously be election fraud if we don't do that. Do you know that right now somebody could come and vacation in America anywhere, anywhere, and do it on election day. They can get registered to vote the same day of the election vote, go home to Argentina and brag to LA prince of the newspaper that they did it. And there's not a damn thing we could do about it. Not a damn thing. So this is how crazy the Democrats are. And they're committing treason and they're destroying our country. No, they're not destroying our country. They are murdering our country. It's intentional first degree murder of our Constitution and of our country.
- [59:49]
Grant Stitchfeld
Sheriff, you are such a clear voice. Your commitment to the Constitution, to law and order, inspires a lot of people, including all the men and women in blue. Thank you for joining us there. It's such an honor. Folks, we had an abbreviated show today, but we're so grateful that you're with us. You also got a chance to see President Trump unfiltered, something that's very special here at Real America's Voice. I'm going to sign off. Hand off to the amazing Grant Stitchfeld. We'll be back in Washington, D.C. monday and we'll have a couple scoops here, so buckle your seatbelt. Until then, have a great weekend and God bless you.
