00:00Okay.
00:01There's been a lot of on and off, some inconsistency.
00:09There's no inconsistency, only with NBC, which is one of the worst networks on television
00:15by the way.
00:16Let me just tell you the inconsistency.
00:17I have the right, I have the right to adjust and I would call, I was called by the automakers
00:26as an example, General Motors, Ford, et cetera, the big three, the big four.
00:33And they asked me to do them a favor.
00:35Could I delay it for a period of four weeks so that they're not driven into a little bit
00:41of a disaster for them?
00:43They actually love what I'm doing, but they had a problem.
00:47And I didn't, I'm not like a block that just, I won't delay.
00:51I have, it's called flexibility.
00:52It's not called inconsistency.
00:54It's called flexibility.
00:56And I think you want me to be flexible too.
00:58Is flexibility going to be your ongoing view?
01:02Sure.
01:03I'll always have flexibility, but there will be very little flexibility.
01:06Once we start April 2nd is going to be a very big day for the United States of America.
01:12The United States of America is going to take back a lot of what was stolen from it by other
01:16countries and by frankly, incompetent us leadership, grossly incompetent.
01:22I gave you an example of Ireland.
01:24I would have never let that happen.
01:26Impossible for that to have happened, but we're going to take back our wealth and we're
01:30going to take back a lot of the companies that left are coming back.
01:33If you haven't read, uh, we have the biggest computer chip company ever, ever has virtually
01:40all of the market.
01:41They call, I didn't call them.
01:43They call me and they call for two reasons.
01:45Number one, we had a great election of somebody that they want running the country and we
01:48ran, we won in a big bandaid.
01:52We won every swing state.
01:53We won by millions of votes.
01:56We won by 2,750 districts out to 500 think of that 2,750 districts to 500.
02:05That's why the map, when you looked at it, it was entirely red, meaning Republican.
02:10Not mean, not many communists.
02:14So anyway, so look, uh, we, this country needed somebody to defend it.
02:21It's this big, beautiful place that was being ripped off by, by illegal immigrants coming
02:26in from prisons, coming in from mental institutions, gang members, gang leaders, drug dealers pouring
02:33into our country with the open borders.
02:37I am so angry at the last four years and what they've done to our country, what they've
02:41done to this country between inflation.
02:44But maybe the most that bothers me is that they would allow millions of people to come
02:49into our country that is stone cold, murderers, killers, drug dealers, the worst gang members,
02:56the worst people allowed into our country.
02:59And we're now getting them out.
03:00We're going to get them out.
03:01We're getting them out.
03:02I want to thank Tom Holman, by the way, he's doing a great job.
03:05And I want to thank Kristi Noem, who's doing a fantastic job.
03:09That's not a, this is a job that's so unnecessary.
03:11This should have never happened.
03:12This should have never happened.
03:14So we're bringing back our country in many ways, not only financially and financially
03:18will be stronger than ever before.
03:20I think the markets are going to soar when they see what's happening.
03:23I'll tell you what, I'm called every day by numerous big, big companies.
03:27I spoke at the business roundtable yesterday.
03:30They had the largest attendance they've ever had.
03:32And these are only the CEOs and chairman, but mostly the people that run the boss, the
03:38people that run the top 150 companies, 150 people showed up.
03:44Every single company showed up.
03:46First time it ever happened.
03:47It's been around a long time.
03:49The biggest business leaders.
03:50We had a great discussion, went really well.
03:53And I want to tell you this tremendous optimism out there about our country in terms of regulations
03:58being cut, in terms of taxes being cut.
04:02And it would be great if the Democrats would, would do what's right.
04:06It would be great if the Democrats would do what's right for our country for a change
04:10because they really are there.
04:12They've lost their way.
04:13They've lost their way.
04:14They've lost their way.
