00:00What a great way to celebrate the United States of America, the NFL, and the Washington Commanders.
00:07And, President Trump, we leave on your gas. We appreciate you and thank you for everything you've done.
00:12I worked very hard to get the World's Cup, and that's the actual trophy.
00:16What a great way to celebrate the United States of America, the NFL, and the Washington Commanders.
00:23And, President Trump, we leave on your gas.
00:25A Trump jersey. You are the ultimate commander, so it is a commander's jersey.
00:31There's no bird on it, but, you know, we do appreciate you and thank you for everything you've done.
00:39And look forward to the future.
00:42Thank you very much, Josh.
00:46And I have to say that Josh had a very good draft a short while ago.
00:52You have a very good quarterback.
00:53We do.
00:53Great quarterback, I think.
00:55Thank you very much.
00:56Great.
00:56Any questions, please, about the stadium or any of it?
01:00Yeah, please.
01:01Yes.
01:02Thank you very much.
01:03Yes, thank you so much.
01:04About the draft, and I would like to have an event that it was already mentioned here, the World Cup.
01:12Although the United States, the passion here, is football for the World Cup next year, how do you envision, Mr. President, this event here in the United States?
01:21That would be fantastic.
01:22I worked very hard to get the World Cup.
01:24It was — in fact, I think I have the trophy right here, right behind you.
01:28Don't have a picture taken with Roger in that trophy, by the way.
01:31But, no, they brought it in — Johnny, who's a good guy, but he brought that in.
01:37And that's the actual trophy.
01:38It's interesting that you asked that.
01:40And it's made at Tiffany's, and they're leaving it here until just before the actual World Cup.
01:46Then it goes to the champion.
01:47But that's very exciting.
01:48We have the Olympics.
01:49So we have both of them.
01:51I worked very hard in getting both.
01:53And I said, you know, I'm not going to be able to be there as President.
01:56And then a strange thing happened.
01:58And it turned out I became President not for the term that I was supposed to be.
02:03I was — I became President.
02:05Well, we have the Olympics and the World Cup.
02:07And we have something that maybe surpasses everything — the 250th anniversary of our country.
02:13So that's going to be great.
02:14So that's going to be a very big event — a year-long event.
02:17So thank you for a question.
02:19Very nice question.
02:20Yeah, please.
02:21The Press.
02:22Yes.
02:23So you often said you want the U.S. to be bigger, better, and stronger.
02:28Currently, Russia is the biggest country in the world — by landmass.
02:33Followed by China — Canada and then China.
02:37So when you say that you want to annex Canada, is it so that it would be the biggest country?
02:43No, I've never even thought of it that way, although I am a real estate developer at heart.
02:47I've never — I've never heard that question.
02:51Yeah, please.
02:52Go ahead.
02:53The Press.
02:54The Press.
02:55Will you have to hire more security and police in order to accommodate the million people coming in for the NFL draft?
03:00I think that there'll be something — and I know Roger will work it out, and Josh and all of us will work it out.
03:06It's such an honor to have that.
03:07I think it'll be great for everybody.
03:09Great for our country.
03:10It'll be something very special.
03:12There's no scene like it.
03:13There's no site like it.
03:14I do — my whole life was based on sites, locations.
03:19And as soon as I looked at that rendering, it's going to be beautiful.
03:23It's going to really be beautiful.
03:24You know, interestingly, I didn't know exactly where it sat relative to the Capitol.
03:29But the stadium, if you go back, is right behind the Capitol — miles behind, but nevertheless, visually, right behind it.
03:36So it's — it's going to be an architect's dream.
03:40Whoever the architect has chosen, and the owner, it's going to be something special.
03:44I think it's going to be great for the area.
03:46It's going to be — it will be top of the line.
03:49I know these people very well, and they only know about top of the line.
03:53And I would say that more will be put into the stadium than would be put into an identical stadium of a similar size.
04:01I think they're going to do a special because of the importance of the location.
04:05I have no doubt they'll do a special.
