00:00We're going to a great state that we won very big, Michigan, and we're going to have an Air Force base that's not going to be closing.
00:09We're going to keep it open for the people of Michigan and for our country, and I look forward to it that some of you are going and some of you aren't.
00:16Any questions?
00:18Great. Jeff Bezos was very nice. He was terrific. He solved the problem very quickly, and he did the right thing.
00:29And he's a good guy.
00:30What was your response?
00:32What was your response?
00:33Have you seen the President President of C? Is there an update on negotiations with Clinton?
00:37No, not an update. No, not an update.
00:39What was your response?
00:40Mr. President, George Conrad, George Conrad, Mr. Gateway Pundit, I wanted a deep response on the leftist media.
00:46They're trying to hide the mugshots that are featured on the front lawn of travestis, murderers, pedophiles.
00:51What do you think of that? Aren't they proving to be the enemy of the people?
00:54Well, I guess they are. I guess they are, right?
00:57Mr. President, who you win? I like your half, by the way.
00:59Mr. President, who you win?
01:00The Gateway Pundit, sir.
01:02Mr. President, sir. What do you think of the Republicans on the Hill who seem not to be on board with your political agenda?
01:09What do you think of that?
01:10Oh, I think they're going to be all on board. I think the Republicans are really with us.
01:14We have the big, beautiful deal. It's moving along, and I think we're going to have it taken care of.
01:19I think they'll all be there.
01:20Mr. President, will you end the IRS?
01:24Mr. President, we just wanted to help them during this little transition, short-term, and during this little — if they can't get parts — you know, it has to do with a very small percentage — if they can't get parts, we didn't want to penalize them.
01:43And during — if you have a one-year period, and then they have an extra year, but it's for a very, very small part of the — basically, they're paying 25 percent.
01:53Mr. President, what's in store for your next $100 billion, Mr. President?
01:58What did you say exactly? And what's your message for all retailers who could do possibly the same thing?
02:03Yeah, nothing. That really — he's a good guy. I've gotten to know him over the last couple of years, and he's done a fantastic job. So I appreciated what he did.
02:13Mr. President, how's your game?
02:20Mr. President, if you're going to give this speech in Michigan, you're going to list the accomplishments of the administration.
02:23Mr. President, if there was one big thing you really wanted to have happen in the first 100 days but didn't, what would it be?
02:31Mr. President, what would it be?
02:32Well, I think we're — either we've done everything or it's in the process of being done.
02:38For instance, the border is in great shape. 99.9 percent came out again today — 99.9.
02:44That — I would say that was my number one thing. The economy would be certainly right up there, and I think it's doing great.
02:53We were losing billions and billions of dollars a day with trade, and now I have that down to a very low level, and soon we're going to be making a lot of money.
03:03We're going to be reducing people's taxes, and we're going to get the big — look, a very important element that we're working on now,
03:10maybe more important than anything with the border in good shape, is the fact — excuse me — is the fact that we want to get,
03:18and very importantly, the big, beautiful New Deal. If we get that done, that's the biggest thing,
03:25what's happening in Congress right now. And I think — I think we're going to get it done.
03:29We have great Republican support. If the Democrats blocked it, you'd have a 60 percent tax increase.
03:35I don't think that's going to happen. We have great support from Republicans.
03:38So, the big, beautiful deal — that's what we want, the bill.
03:42I think the next period of time, I think my biggest focus will be on Congress with the — with the deal that we're working on.
03:51That'll be the biggest bill in the history of our country, in terms of tax cuts and regulation cuts and other things.
03:58What's your reaction to the Canadian elections?
04:01What would you like to be as Pope?
04:05As Pope? I'd like to be Pope. That would be my number one choice.
04:11What would you like to be as Pope?
04:12No, I don't know. I have no preference.
04:14I must say, we have a cardinal that happens to be out of a place called New York who's very good.
04:19So, we'll see what happens.
04:20Mr. President, you are doing so much for Africa.
04:27You are the first president that, in the first 100 days, focused on Africa for the first time in the history of this country.
04:35Are you planning, maybe, in the future, visit the continent?
04:38Sure. I would do that. I would do that. Absolutely.
04:42Mr. President, what's the biggest challenge?
04:45Will you go to Angola, Mr. President?
04:47Mr. President, will you speak to the Prime Minister of Australia?
04:49Yeah, go ahead.
04:50Will you speak to the Prime Minister of Australia at all?
04:52Please.
04:53The Prime Minister of Australia is having an election this weekend.
04:59Will you speak to him, or that's right?
05:01They are calling, and I will be talking to him, yes.
05:04Will you have to do something with the tariffs and automobiles?
05:07Were you worried about the automobiles? Is that why you...
05:09No, not at all. We're just giving them a little chance, because, in some cases, they can't get the parts fast enough.
05:14So, this is just a little transition. It's 15 percent for one year and just 10 percent for another. It's a little bit.
05:22And it has to do... That's only the percentage of parts on the car.
05:27So, it's a little bit of help for people that will be doing a great job.
05:32And these are all people, for the most part, that are building plants and will be working here.
05:36So, it's a little transition.
05:38Mr. President, are you going to Rome after Saudi Arabia?
05:41Are you going to say you're going to Rome after Saudi Arabia?
05:45Go ahead, Rome.
05:47Go ahead, Rome.
05:48India is coming along great.
05:49I think we'll have a deal with India.
05:51The Prime Minister, as you know, was here three weeks ago.
05:55And they want to make a deal. We'll see what happens.
05:57Thank you. Thank you.
05:59Thank you, Mr. President.
06:01Mr. President, what's the biggest...
