00:00Okay.
00:20We have a big announcement to make, so I'll make it now.
00:49I'll make it now.
00:56So, we're at the Kennedy Center.
00:59It needs a lot of work.
01:01We're going to fix it, make it beautiful.
01:02It's a very big part of the fabric of D.C. and the Capitol.
01:06We're bringing back the Capitol.
01:07We're bringing back our country.
01:09But while we're here, I thought it would be appropriate.
01:12We are tomorrow announcing and giving all of the Kennedy files.
01:21So, people have been waiting for decades for this.
01:25And I've instructed my people that are responsible.
01:30Lots of different people put together by Tulsi Gabbard.
01:36And that's going to be released tomorrow.
01:40We have a tremendous amount of paper.
01:45You've got a lot of reading.
01:46I don't believe we're going to redact anything.
01:48I said, just don't redact.
01:49You can't redact.
01:51But we're going to be releasing the JFK files.
01:56And that would be tomorrow.
01:57Do you have anything else to add to that, Carol?
02:00So, that's a big announcement.
02:02They've been waiting for that for decades.
02:04Then I said during the campaign, I do it.
02:06And I'm a man of my word.
02:09So, tomorrow, you have the JFK files.
02:11What time will they be released?
02:15Tomorrow.
02:16OK.
02:19I've heard about it.
02:23It's going to be very interesting.
02:27No, I'm not doing summaries.
02:29You'll write your own summaries.
02:31It's many pages.
02:32Is it 80,000 pages?
02:34Approximately 80,000 pages.
02:36So, it's a lot of stuff.
02:38And you'll make your own determination.
02:48Yeah, only for very unimportant papers.
02:50And I don't call them unimportant.
02:52If you do letters where people write in and, you know, they'd love to have a response.
02:56And we'll write responses.
02:57And I'll sign them whenever I can.
02:59But when I can't, I, you know, would use an auto pen.
03:02But to use them for what they've used them for is terrible.
03:08Who are you with?
03:11That's the same one.
03:13I don't want to talk to NBC anymore.
03:15I think you're so discredited.
03:29We're going to have honors.
03:31I think it's going to be a much bigger show than it has been in the past.
03:34It got tired.
03:35Very tired.
03:36Very tired.
03:37Very boring.
03:38Very radical left.
03:40Unless you were a radical left, it just seemed that nobody was chosen.
03:43There are a lot of people out there that can get the honors.
03:46And we're going to do it.
03:47I think we'll have a very big show.
03:49It's going to be a very big show.
03:50We have some surprises on that show, some big surprises.
03:52But I think it has a chance to be a very big show.
03:55That's a big part of the Kennedy Center, the honors that evening.
03:59And so I think you're going to be really surprised.
04:01I think it's going to get great ratings, actually.
04:15Well, I don't want to really even discuss it.
04:17I got to get the deal.
04:18I've got to get the deal signed.
04:21Two thousand people a week sometimes are killed.
04:24And we have to get that agreement signed.
04:26But that's the only thing I think about.
04:33We're going to have a very important call.
04:35You know, we've had calls, but we're getting down to a very critical stage.
04:40And we want to get the whole Russia-Ukraine thing done.
04:45And I think Ukraine wants it.
04:47I know they want it.
04:48Everybody wants it.
04:49It's a tremendous death.
04:51The bloodshed is unbelievable, like few people have ever seen before.
04:56Do you have a red line for the drug cartels that if crossed,
04:59it would automatically trigger a military response from the U.S.?
05:02Well, we'll see.
05:03But we're not going to put up with it.
05:04This country is not going to allow people to come in and dump drugs and kill our youth.
05:09And other than our youth, too.
05:11Older people are very much affected.
05:13So we're not going to let that happen.
05:15Thank you very much.
