00:00Where did you get the idea for reopening Alcatraz?
00:05Just an idea I've had.
00:07And I guess because the judges, so many of these radicalized judges,
00:11they want to have trials for every single thing of it.
00:15Every single person that's in our country illegally,
00:18that came in illegally, that would mean millions of trials.
00:21And it's just so ridiculous what's happening.
00:24And it's long been a symbol, Alcatraz,
00:28or whatever it is.
00:30I mean, it's a sad symbol, but it's a symbol of law and order.
00:35And, you know, it's got quite a history, frankly.
00:38So I think we're going to do that, and we're looking at it right now.

00:56I said to a couple of people, what do you think?
00:58I've done some very strong research over the last week.
01:01And we're making very few movies now.
01:03Hollywood is being destroyed.
01:04Now, you have an incompetent, grossly incompetent governor that allowed that to happen.
01:09So I'm not just blaming other nations.
01:10But other nations, a lot of them, have stolen our movie industry.
01:15And I'm saying, if they're not willing to make a movie inside the United States, then we should have a tariff when movies should come in.
01:24We move those positions and come in and, not only that,
01:29governments are actually giving big money.
01:30I mean, they're supporting them financially.
01:32So that's sort of a threat to our country, in a sense.
01:34And it's a very popular thing.
01:36I can tell you another thing.
01:39Movie makers love it.

01:53President, will you meet with Putin in Saudi Arabia when you go?
02:00I don't know. We haven't thought about it.
02:02But we'll be leaving for Saudi Arabia pretty soon.
02:05I have not thought about it.
02:06We've had some good conversations on Russia and Ukraine over the weekend,
02:11over the last few days, actually.
02:13But we've had some very good conversations on Russia and Ukraine.
02:17There's a lot of hatred there, I will tell you,
02:19between the two parties in between.
02:22And even the general.
02:23I mean, there's a tremendous amount of hatred.
02:25But we've had some very good discussions over the last few days.

02:39I haven't heard that, but I'm a big fan of crypto because I want to keep it away from China.
02:50crypto is a whole new thing that started you know not so long ago but i'm very much in favor of
02:56crypto bitcoin all of the different things because otherwise china's going to take it over and just
03:02like ai just like so many other industries or whatever you want to call them uh crypto is very
03:07important i think for our country the australian election the australian elections the conservatives
