00:00And just go back to life.
00:02What punitive action are you considering taking against Russia?
00:05Well, I have a lot of things I can do.
00:07I'm not looking to do it.
00:09But I have a lot of strength.
00:11You know, we've built the United States up.
00:13I think we're more respected now as a country maybe than ever before.
00:17There's no more games.
00:19You have somebody that knows what he's doing,
00:21not like the previous person who didn't have a clue.
00:24So, you know, I just — I want to end that.
00:28We can end the Iran situation if we can.
00:31And we have other things, too.
00:33You know, we've got plenty of problems in the world.
00:35You know, when I left four and a half years ago, I left.
00:38And I'll tell you what, we didn't have any of these problems.
00:41The good news is costs are way down.
00:44Groceries are down.
00:46Eggs are down.
00:47Gasoline is way down.
00:49It's all coming down.
00:51It's all looking good.
00:52The tariffs are strong.
00:54It's — we're taking in a lot of money from tariffs.
00:57We were losing a lot before I got here.
01:00We were losing billions of dollars a day.
01:02And now we're doing great.
01:03And we haven't even kicked in yet.
01:05And eventually, we'll be reducing taxes very substantially
01:09for the people of our country because the money is so great
01:12coming in from tariffs that I'll be able to reduce taxes
01:15to a very large extent and maybe almost completely.
01:19Completely.
01:20Just a pretty small!
01:22Thank you, Mr. President!
01:23Thank you, Mr. President!
01:24Thank you, Mr. President!
01:25Mr. President!
01:26Thank you, Mr. President!
