LOT OF HEALTHY 
PLACES TO EAT. 
NOT A LOT OF 
HEALTHY PLACES 
TO GO. 
AND NOT A LOT OF 
TALK OF HEALTH 
AND WELLNESS. 
>> LAKEISHA RUNS 
A MENTAL HEALTH 
AND SUBSTANCE 
ABUSE WITHIN THE 
COMPLEX. 
>> IT'S 
IMPORTANT THAT 
WE, AS A 
COMMUNITY, START 
TO HAVE OPEN AND 
HONEST DIALOGUE, 
AROUND HOW 
DIFFERENT ISSUES 
IN OUR LIFE ARE 
AFFECTING OUR 
MENTAL HEALTH. 
>> LIKE 
BUSINESSES 
ACROSS THE 
COUNTRY, COVID-
19 BROUGHT ON 
SOME UNFORESEEN 
CHALLENGES FOR 
THE PHOENIX. 
>> IT WAS 
DEVASTATING. 
AT FIRST, IT WAS 
ABSOLUTELY 
DEVASTATING. 
OUR NUMBERS WERE 
DOWN. 
BY 60 TO 70%. 
SO WE NEEDED A 
MOMENT TO 
BREATHE TO BE 
ABLE TO 
STRATEGIZE. 
SO WE PROVIDED 
SO FAR, THREE 
MONTHS OF RENT 
RELIEF TO ALLOW 
OUR BUSINESSES 
TO FOCUS ON NOT 
PAYING RENT. 
BUT REALLY 
STAYING SOLVENT 
ENT, AMIDST ALL 
OF THE UPHEAVAL 
WITH COVID. 
>> COMMUNITIES 
HARDEST HIT BY 
THE PANDEMIC, 
POLICE 
BRUTALITY, 
OPPORTUNITIES IN 
THE WORKPLACE, 
JOANNE THINKS 
THE SHERMAN 
PHOENIX CAN BE A 
MODEL ARE IF 
OTHER CITIES. 
>> I THINK IT'S 
CRITICALLY 
IMPORTANT. 
NOT JUST TO 
MILWAUKEE BUT 
OTHER AREAS. 
DEVELOPING 
CORRIDORS IN OUR 
CENTRAL CITIES. 
>>> PRESIDENT 
TRUMP IS 
SPEAKING AT THE 
WHITE HOUSE 
RIGHT NOW. 
LET'S LISTEN IN. 
>>> BUSINESS 
CONFIDENCE IS 
HIGHER TODAY IN 
AMERICA THAN IN 
ANY OTHER G7 OR 
E.U. 
COUNTRY. 
THAT COVERS A 
LOT OF 
TERRITORY. 
SO WE HAVE THE 
BUSINESS 
CONFIDENCE IS 
HIGHER. 
THAN ANY OF 
THOSE COUNTRIES. 
IN JULY, RETAIL 
SALES, NOT ONLY 
RECOVERED BUT 
REACHED A NEW 
ALL-TIME HIGH. 
SO THINK OF 
THAT. 
RETAIL SALES. 
THAT'S A VERY 
BASIC STATISTIC. 
AND IT'S A BIG 
STATISTIC. 
IT NOT ONLY 
RECOVERED, BUT 
REACHED THE 
HIGHEST LEVEL 
EVER. 
AUTO SALES HAVE 
SURGED TO AN 
INCREDIBLE 74% 
SINCE THEIR 
APRIL LOW. 
AND ARE NEARLY 
BACK TO THEIR 
PREVIRUS LEVELS. 
AND THAT'S BEEN 
A TREMENDOUS 
THING. 
USED CARS AND 
NEW CARS HAVE 
BOTH BEEN DOING 
INCREDIBLY WELL. 
MORTGAGE 
APPLICATIONS 
WERE 27% HIGHER 
IN AUGUST THAN 
DURING THE SAME 
PERIOD LAST 
YEAR. 
HOME BUILDER 
SENTIMENT 
REACHED THE 
HIGHEST LEVEL IN 
OCTOBER, 
INDICATING THAT 
MORE HIGH-PAYING 
CONSTRUCTION IS 
ON THE WAY. 
HOME BUILDING 
HAS BEEN GREAT. 
AND LENDING HAS 
BEEN REALLY 
INCREDIBLE. 
U.S. 
MANUFACTURING 
ACTIVITY REACHED 
A 19-MONTH HIGH 
IN AUGUST, WHILE 
MY 
ADMINISTRATION 
HAS FOUGHT EVERY 
DAY TO RESTORE 
PROSPERITY, 
HOWEVER. 
NANCY PELOSI AND 
THE DEMOCRATS IN 
CONGRESS ARE 
HOLDING 
ADDITIONAL CHINA 
VIRUS RELIEF. 
HOSTAGE TO 
REASONS THAT 
NOBODY 
UNDERSTANDS. 
I GUESS I DO. 
I THINK I 
UNDERSTAND. 
IT'S CALLED 
POLITICS. 
AND SPEAKING OF 
POLITICS. 
I THINK NORTH 
CAROLINA, I 
THINK THAT 
MICHIGAN AND 
PENNSYLVANIA AND 
OTHER STATES, 
THEY SHOULD 
OPEN. 
THE DEMOCRAT 
GOVERNORS SHOULD 
OPEN THE STATE. 
THEY'LL OPEN ON 
NOVEMBER 4th. 
BUT THEY SHOULD 
OPEN THEM NOW. 
IT'S VERY UNFAIR 
TO THE PEOPLE TO 
HAVE THOSE 
SHUTDOWNS AT THE 
LEVEL THEY'RE 
CONTINUING. 
DEMOCRATS ARE 
INSISTING ON A 
MASSIVE TAXPAYER 
BAILOUT OF BADLY 
RUN BLUE STATES. 
STIMULUS CHECKS 
FOR ILLEGAL 
ALIENS AND THE 
MASKED RELIEF OF 
INMATES FROM 
JAIL. 
THEY WANT TO 
RELEASE A LOT OF 
INMATES. 
SOME OF THEM FOR 
VERY SERIOUS 
REASONS, THEY 
WANT TO RELEASE 
THEM FROM JAIL. 
THEY WANT THAT 
AS PART OF THE 
STIMULUS. 
CAN YOU BELIEVE 
THAT? 
IT'S TIME FOR 
DEMOCRATS IN 
CONGRESS TO 
START WORKING 
ACROSS THE AISLE 
AND PUT THE 
AMERICAN PEOPLE 
FIRST. 
NOW, WE HAVE 
$300 BILLION IN 
AN COULD THAT WE 
DIDN'T USE. 
$300 BILLION. 
AND WE ARE 
WILLING TO USE 
THAT. 
I WOULD BE 
WILLING TO 
RELEASE IT, 
SUBJECT TO 
CONGRESS, AND 
USE THAT AS 
STIMULUS MONEY. 
AND IT WOULD GO 
RIGHT TO THE 
AMERICAN PEOPLE. 
SO WE HAVE $300 
BILLION, SITTING 
IN AN ACCOUNT 
THAT WE DIDN'T 
NEED BECAUSE 
THINGS ARE GOING 
SO WELL WITH THE 
ECONOMY. 
BUT IT WOULD BE 
A VERY 
APPROPRIATE 
THING TO RELEASE 
THAT TO THE 
AMERICAN PEOPLE. 
AND I AM WILLING 
TO DO IT. 
ALL WE NEED IS A 
SIGNOFF. 
BUT THAT DOESN'T 
MEAN THAT WE'RE 
GOING TO RELEASE 
PRISONERS, SOME 
PRISONERS. 
VERY VICIOUS 
PEOPLE, 
ACTUALLY. 
WE'RE NOT GOING 
TO PUT THEM ON 
THE STREETS, 
LIKE THE 
DEMOCRATS WANT 
US TO. 
AND WE'RE NOT 
GOING TO GIVE 
STIMULUS CHECKS 
TO ILLEGAL 
ALIENS THAT CAME 
IN ILLEGALLY. 
AND NOW WE GIVE 
THEM A CHECK. 
WE WANT TO GIVE 
THE CHECKS TO 
THE AMERICAN 
PEOPLE. 
SO REMEMBER, WE 
HAVE $300 
MILLION. 
IT'S THERE. 
WE DON'T NEED 
THE MONEY. 
WE DON'T NEED 
ANYTHING. 
JUST LET THAT 
MONEY GET 
RELEASED TO THE 
AMERICAN PEOPLE. 
AS OUR ECONOMY 
REBOUNDS, 
THERE'S ONLY ONE 
THING THAT COULD 
STOP THE 
EXTRAORDINARY 
ECONOMIC 
COMEBACK AND 
WIPE OUT THE 
FUTURE OF 
AMERICAN 
WORKERS. 
AND THAT'S WHAT 
THE DEMOCRATS 
WANT TO DO WITH 
A $4 TRILLION 
TAX HIKE. 
IMPLEMENTING 
THINGS THAT WILL 
BE REALLY BAD 
FOR OUR COUNTRY. 
AND THIS WILL 
JUST ABSOLUTELY 
CRIPPLE WHAT 
WE'RE DOING ON 
REGULATIONS AND 
SO MANY OTHER 
ELEMENTS OF 
SUCCESS. 
WE HAD THE 
GREATEST ECONOMY 
IN HISTORY, 
PRIOR TO THE 
CHINA VIRUS 
COMING IN. 
NOW THEY WANT TO 
STOP 
REGULATIONS. 
THEY WANT TO 
BRING UP REG 
EULOGIES TO A 
LEVEL, STOP THE 
THINGS THAT 
WE'RE DOING, 
WHICH ARE AT A 
MUCH SMALLER 
LEVEL, AND BRING 
UP REGULATIONS 
AT A LEVEL THAT 
NOBODY HAS EVER 
SEEN BEFORE. 
THEY WANT TO DO 
THINGS THAT WILL 
MAKE IT 
IMPOSSIBLE FOR 
ANY ECONOMY TO 
GROW. 
THEY WANT TO BAN 
TRACKING. 
AND AS YOU SAW. 
HE SEES THIS 
POLL GOING DOWN. 
AND NOW HE SAYS, 
I WAS ONLY 
TALKING ABOUT 
MAYBE NOT 
BANNING 
TRACKING. 
BUT HE WANTS TO 
BAN FRACKING. 
AND THE PEOPLE 
THAT CONTROL HIM 
WANT TO 
FRACKING. 
AND SO MANY 
STATES YOU CAN'T 
BAN FRACKING. 
THAT WOULD BE A 
DISASTER. 
OHIO. 
AND ABOLISH 
AMERICAN ENERGY. 
THAT'S WHAT'S 
GOING TO HAPPEN. 
ADOPT DISASTROUS 
TRADE DEALS AND 
INFLICT A 
DANGEROUS 
SHUTDOWN. 
WE WOULD BE 
WILLING TO SHUT 
IT DOWN. 
AND YOU DON'T 
SHUT DOWN WHEN 
WE'RE SETTING 
RECORDS. 
ASK BY THE WAY, 
WE'RE ROUNDING 
THE CORNER. 
WE'RE ROUNDING 
THE CORNER ON 
THE VIRUS. 
JOE BIDEN'S 
SHUTDOWN WOULD 
COLLAPSE OUR 
ECONOMY, WOULD 
CAUSE COUNTLESS 
DEATHS FROM 
SUICIDE, DRUG, 
ALCOHOL ABUSE, 
HEART DISEASE 
AND MORE YOU 
KNOW, SHUTDOWNS 
CAUSE A LOT OF 
PROBLEMS, A LOT 
MORE SERIOUS 
PROBLEMS. 
MORE SO THAN THE 
VIRUS ITSELF. 
BIDEN'S PLAN IS 
NOT A SOLUTION. 
IT'S A VIRTUAL 
SURRENDER. 
AND OUR COUNTRY 
IS TWOING SO 
WELL. 
I THINK WE'RE 
GOING TO HAVE A 
GREAT THIRD 
QUARTER. 
YOU'LL SEE FOR 
YOURSELF. 
THE NUMBERS WILL 
BE ANNOUNCED 
SOMETIME PRIOR 
TO THE ELECTION 
ON NOVEMBER 3rd. 
AND AS YOU KNOW, 
JOE SPENT HIS 
ENTIRE CAREER, 
SENDING AMERICAN 
JOBS TO CHINA 
AND OTHER 
FARAWAY 
COUNTRIES, FOR 
47 YEARS, PEOPLE 
WERE PILLAGING 
OUR COUNTRY, 
TAKING OUR JOBS, 
TAKING OUR 
COMPANIES. 
AND THAT'S NEVER 
GOING TO CHANGE 
WITH THAT 
MINDSET AND WITH 
THAT GROUP. 
AND IF BIDEN IS 
NOT GOING TO BE 
STANDING YOU UP 
TO THESE FOREIGN 
COUNTRIES. 
NOT GOING TO BE 
STANDING UP, 
MAYBE MORE 
IMPORTANT LEEL, 
TO THE PEOPLE 
THAT RUN THE 
DEMOCRATIC 
PARTY. 
HE DOESN'T HAVE 
THE STRENGTH TO 
DO THAT. 
HE REFUSES TO 
CONDEMN EVEN 
ANTIFA. 
A BAD GROUP. 
FAR LEFT 
DOMESTIC 
TERRORIST 
ORGANIZATION. 
HE DOESN'T WANT 
TO SAY ANYTHING 
BAD ABOUT IT. 
HIS PLAN TO 
APPEASE THE 
DOMESTIC 
TERRORIST IS 
EXACT OPPOSITE 
OF WHAT I'M 
DOING. 
I THINK YOU SAW 
THAT LAST NIGHT. 
YESTERDAY THE 
U.S. MARSHALS. 
WE SENT THEM IN. 
U.S. MARSHALS. 
WE WERE WAITING 
FOR LOCAL 
GOVERNMENT TO 
TAKE CARE OF IT. 
BUT THEY DIDN'T 
DO THAT. 
SO THE U.S. 
MARSHALS WENT 
INTO LAW EB 
ENFORCEMENT. 
THEY TOOK DOWN 
THE ANTIFA MAN 
WHO MURDERED A 
MAN IN THE 
MIDDLE OF THE 
STREET IN 
PORTLAND. 
THE SUSPECT WAS 
KILLED, AFTER 
DRAWING A 
WEAPON. 
OFFICERS 
ATTEMPTED TO 
TAKE HIM INTO 
CUSTODY. 
THEY WANTED TO 
TAKE HIM INTO 
U.S. MARSHALS. 
INCREDIBLE 
PEOPLE. 
I WANT TO THANK 
THEM FOR THEIR 
STRENGTH, THEIR 
BRAVERY. 
AND I REALLY DO 
WISH THAT THE 
MAYOR OF 
PORTLAND AND THE 
GOVERNOR OF 
OREGON WOULD GET 
GOING AND STOP 
THE CRIME IN 
THAT CITY. 
IT WOULD BE SO 
EASY TO DO. 
WHILE WE'RE 
FOCUSED ON 
CREATING GOOD-
PAYING JOBS, THE 
RADICAL LEFT IS 
FOCUSED ON 
UNLEASHING, 
REALLY VIOLENT 
MOBS. 
AND YOU SEE THAT 
WHETHER YOU'RE 
CONSERVATIVE OR 
LIBERAL, 
REPUBLICAN, 
DEMOCRAT, OR 
INDEPENDENT, WE 
MUST ALL AGREE, 
THE NEED FOR 
PEACE AND ORDER 
AND SAFETY. 
UNDER MY 
ADMINISTRATION, 
LAW ENFORCEMENT 
IS CONDUCTING 
ARESOLUTION, 
NATIONWIDE. 
THE REASONS WE 
DIDN'T PUT 
CHICAGO INTO OUR 
LIST. 
WHILE WE'RE 
HOLDING BACK 
FUNDS FROM SOME 
OF THESE STATES 
AND CITIES THAT 
ARE DOING SUCH A 
POOR JOB. 
SUCH AN 
INCOMPETENT JOB. 
A JOB THAT 
NOBODY CAN EVEN 
IMAGINE HOW BAD. 
THEY WERE 
HOLDING IT BACK 
UNTIL THEY GET 
THEIR ACT 
TOGETHER. 
AND WE ARE 
HAVING A LOT OF 
PEOPLE IN 
CHICAGO RIGHT 
NOW. 
AND YOU NOTICE 
THAT THEIR 
NUMBERS ARE 
GOING DOWN 
RAPIDLY. 
BUT WE HAVE 
DEPLOYED A LOT 
OF FEDERAL LAW 
ENFORCEMENT, 
INSIDE OF 
CHICAGO. 
AND THEY'RE 
TAKING OUT QUITE 
A FEW PEOPLE. 
AND THEY'RE 
BEING ARRESTED, 
BEING PUT IN 
JAIL. 
AND YOU SEE THE 
NUMBERS GOING 
DOWN. 
THAT'S WHY YOU 
SEE THAT, WITH 
RESPECT TO THE 
MAYOR, WE DID 
NOT HOLD BACK 
FUNDS IN 
CHICAGO. 
BUT NEW YORK IS 
EXPERIENCING A 
TREMENDOUS CRIME 
WAVE. 
IN SOME CASES, 
UP OVER 300%. 
AND THEY HAVE TO 
DO SOMETHING 
QUICKLY. 
WE JUST SPOKE TO 
MAYOR BOWSER. 
AND SHE'S 
WILLING TO DO 
WHATEVER IS 
NECESSARY. 
AND I WILL HAVE 
A VERY GOOD TALK 
WITH HER. 
THAT'S IN D.C. 
AND THE OTHER 
PLACES, THEY 
SPEAK FOR 
THEMSELVES. 
WE'RE WORKING 
WITH THE STATE 
AND LOCAL 
AUTHORITIES TO 
COMB THROUGH 
HOURS OF 
VIDEOTAPE, 
IDENTIFY AND 
ARREST SUSPECTS 
AND PROSCUTE 
LAWMAKERS. 
WE'VE ALREADY 
GOT OVER 300 IN 
JAIL. 
AND WE HAVE 
TREMENDOUS 
EVIDENCE. 
AND I WANT TO 
THANK THE MEDIA. 
WE HAVE IT FROM 
EVERY DIFFERENT 
ANGLE. 
YOU CAN'T HAVE 
PROBABLY BETTER 
THAN WHAT WE'VE 
GOT. 
WE SEE IT FROM 
THE SKY AND THE 
GROUND AND FROM 
THE RIGHT AND 
FROM THE LEFT. 
SO WHEN THEY SAY 
THEY DIDN'T DO 
IT, WE SAY 
WHAT'S THIS? 
SO WE GET THAT 
FROM MIDIA. 
UNDER OPERATION 
LEGEND. 
THE CITIES 
PLAGUED BY 
VIOLENT CRIME, 
THE INITIATIVE 
HAS ALREADY 
RESULTED IN 
TREMENDOUS 
SUCCESS AND 
NATIONWIDE WE 
HAVE OVER 2,000 
ARRESTS. 
AND WE DON'T 
TALK ABOUT IT 
TOO MUCH. 
BUT NOW WE MIGHT 
AS WELL. 
SO WE'VE 
ARRESTED OVER 
2,000 CRIMINALS 
CRIMINALS. 
AND IN A SINGLE 
MONTH MURDER 
RATE IN CHICAGO, 
AS YOU KNOW. 
AND AS I SAID. 
IT WAS CUT IN 
HALF, ACTUALLY. 
SO ON THE CHINA 
VIRUS FRONT. 
THE NATIONS OF 
EUROPE HAVE 
EXPERIENCED A 
38% GREATER 
EXCESS MORTALITY 
THAN THE UNITED 
STATES. 
38% MORE, 
GREATER, EXCESS 
MORTALITY THAN 
THE UNITED 
STATES. 
A LOT OF YOU 
DON'T WANT TO 
REPORT THAT. 
AND IF WE TOOK 
NEW YORK OUT OF 
THE EQUATION, 
THERE'S NOBODY 
CLOSE. 
THE JOB WE HAVE 
DONE IS 
INCREDIBLE. 
AND WE DON'T GET 
ANY CREDIT FOR 
IT. 
BUT WE'VE DONE 
AN INCREDIBLE 
JOB. 
THROUGH 
OPERATION WARP 
SPEED, WE HAVE 
THREE VACCINES 
IN THE FINAL 
STAGE OF 
CLINICAL TRIALS. 
YESTERDAY, 
PFIZER 
ANNOUNCED, I 
JUST SPOKE TO 
THE HEAD OF 
PFIZER. 
GREAT GUY. 
THEY ANNOUNCED 
THAT HE EXPECTS 
TO HAVE THE 
RESULTS OF 
TRIAL. 
VERY, VERY 
SHORTLY. 
NEXT MONTH. 
BUT VERY 
SHORTLY. 
WE REMAIN ON 
TRACK TO DELIVER 
A VACCINE BEFORE 
THE END OF THE 
YEAR. 
AND MAYBE EVEN 
BEFORE. 
NOVEMBER 1st. 
WE THINK WE CAN 
PROBABLY HAVE IT 
SOMETIME DURING 
THE MONTH OF 
OCTOBER. 
AND PFIZER IS 
AMONG THE 
LEADERS, AS YOU 
KNOW. 
AND IT'S A GREAT 
COMPANY. 
JOHNSON & 
JOHNSON ALSO 
DOING VERY WELL. 
MODERNA. 
WE HAVE REALLY 
GREAT COMPANIES 
THAT ARE ALL 
DOING REALLY 
WELL. 
ALL IN FINAL 
STAGES. 
AND I THINK 
YOU'RE GOING TO 
SEE RESULTS THAT 
ARE SHOCKINGLY 
GOOD. 
FINALLY, I WANT 
TO PROVIDE YOU 
WITH A BRIEF 
UPDATE OF THE 
VIRUS CASES IN 
THE UNITED 
STATES HAVE 
DECLINED, 28% 
NATIONWIDE, OVER 
THE LAST MONTH. 
AND 
HOSPITALIZATIONS 
AND DEATHS HAVE 
CONTINUED TO 
DECLINE OVER THE 
PAST WEEK. 
VERY 
SUBSTANTIALLY 
DECLINE. 
THANKS TO 
AMERICA'S 
MEDICAL GENIUS, 
THE MORTALITY 
RATE HAS BEEN 
REDUCED BY 85% 
IN APRIL. 
MORTALITY RATES 
REDUCED BY 85%. 
HOSPITAL LENGTHS 
OF STAY ARE ONE-
THIRD OF THEIR 
AVERAGE LENGTH 
IN APRIL. 
SO THE 
HOSPITALIZATIONS 
DOWN. 
THE LENGTH OF 
STAY IS WAY 
DOWN. 
IN ORDER TO KEEP 
MAKING PROGRESS 
AGAINST THE 
VIRUS, WE ASK 
ALL AMERICANS TO 
REMAIN VIGILANT, 
ESPECIALLY OVER 
LABOR DAY, YOU 
KNOW, YOU HAVE 
THE LABOR DAY 
WEEKEND. 
COMING UPON US 
IMMEDIATELY. 
I GUESS WE CAN 
SAY PRETTY 
IMMEDIATELY. 
AND WE NEED 
EVERYBODY TO BE 
CAREFUL, TO 
APPLY COMMON 
SENSE. 
AND DO ALL OF 
THE THINGS THAT 
WE'VE TOLD YOU 
TO DO AS 
QUICKLY, AS MUCH 
AS YOU CAN. 
SOCIAL 
DISTANCING. 
WEARING A MASK 
WHENEVER THE 
DISTANCING IS 
NOT POSSIBLE. 
AND STAYING WITH 
A GROUP THAT YOU 
KNOW, LET'S JUST 
TRY TO GET 
THROUGH THIS ONE 
WEEKEND. 
AND I THINK WE 
HAVE A CHANCE OF 
DOING THAT. 
JUST SOCIAL 
DISTANCE. 
WASH YOUR HANDS. 
ALL OF THE 
HYGIENE THINGS 
THAT WE SPEAK 
ABOUT. 
AND WE'RE REALLY 
ROUNDING THE 
TURN. 
AND THE VACCINES 
ARE COMING. 
THE THERAPEUTICS 
HAVE ALREADY 
COME. 
BUT THEY 
CONTINUE TO 
COME. 
THE CONVALESCENT 
PLASMA HAS HAD A 
TREMENDOUS 
IMPACT ALREADY. 
YOU SEE WHAT IS 
HAPPENING THERE. 
AND REMDESIVIR 
HAS BEEN 
INCREDIBLE. 
SO WE HAVE A LOT 
OF THINGS 
HAPPENING. 
A LOT OF 
THERAPEUTICS 
COMING OUT. 
I THINK FROM THE 
STANDPOINT OF 
COMMON SENSE. 
I GUESS 
THERAPEUTICS TO 
ME. 
YOU GO INTO A 
HOSPITAL, YOU 
GIVE SOMEBODY A 
SHOT. 
OR TRANSFUSION 
MIGHT BE A 
TRANSFUSION. 
PROBABLY MORE 
THAN 50% ARE 
ACTUALLY 
TRANSFUSIONS. 
AND THEY'LL 
LEAVE THE 
HOSPITAL SHORTLY 
THEREAFTER. 
I MEAN, TO ME, 
THAT'S MORE 
IMPORTANT IN A 
CERTAIN SENSE 
THAN THE 
VACCINE. 
BUT THE VACCINES 
WILL BE GREAT 
OVER THE LONG 
TERM. 
THE THERAPEUTICS 
OVER THE SHORT 
TERM. 
AND ALSO, 
KNOWING YOU HAVE 
THE 
THERAPEUTICS, I 
THINK IS GREAT, 
FROM THE 
STANDPOINT OF 
THE MIND. 
IT'S GREAT. 
SO I WANT TO 
THANK EVERYBODY 
FOR BEING HERE. 
I'M GOING TO ASK 
LARRY KUDLOW TO 
GIVE A COUPLE OF 
EXAMPLES OF HOW 
STRONG OUR 
ECONOMY IS 
RECOVERING. 
HOW STRONGLY 
IT'S RECOVERING. 
AND IT'S SETTING 
RECORDS AT EVERY 
LEVEL. 
WE'RE DOING 
BETTER THAN 
EVERY OTHER 
COUNTRY. 
WE'RE VERY PROUD 
OF ALL OF THE 
PEOPLE FOR DOING 
SUCH AN 
INCREDIBLE JOB. 
THIS IS A V. 
IT'S A SUPER V. 
AGAIN, WE HAD 
$300 BILLION 
READY TO GO. 
ALL CONGRESS HAD 
TO DO IS SAY USE 
IT. 
IF THEY SAY USE 
IT, I'D LIKE TO 
USE IT WITHOUT 
THEIR 
PERMISSION. 
BUT I GUESS I'M 
NOT ALLOWED TO 
DO THAT. 
I DID ASK THAT 
QUESTION. 
SO CONGRESS HAS 
TO JUST SAY USE 
IT. 
ALL THEY HAVE TO 
DO IS SAY USE 
IT. 
$300 BILLION 
GETS IMMEDIATELY 
PUT INTO OUR 
SYSTEM. 
AND WE'LL REALLY 
HELP THE 
AMERICAN PEOPLE. 
THERE'S NOTHING 
ELSE TO DO. 
JUST A VERY 
QUICK STATEMENT. 
SO I'M GOING TO 
ASK LARRY TO 
COME UP. 
I WANT TO THANK 
ANOTHER MAN FOR 
BEING HERE 
TODAY. 
THERE'S A MAN 
THAT IS AN 
INCREDIBLE 
LEADER. 
LOU HOLZ. 
I'VE KNOWN HIM 
FOR A LONG TIME. 
AND I THINK I'VE 
RECEIVED LETTERS 
FROM EVERY 
FOOTBALL COACH. 
ALMOST IN THE 
NATION. 
NOW, THAT'S A 
LITTLE 
EXAGGERATION. 
BUT SOME OF THE 
GREATS. 
NICK SABAN WROTE 
A LETTER. 
COACH O. AND 
COACH O. IS 
CENTRAL CASTING. 
I SAID, I'M 
GOING TO HAVE TO 
PUT HIM IN A 
MOVIE, RIGHT? 
AS A FOOTBALL 
COACH. 
HE'D REALLY BE 
GOOD PLAYING A 
FOOTBALL COACH 
LIKE YOU. 
AND URBAN MYER 
WROTE A 
BEAUTIFUL 
LETTER. 
AND SO MANY OF 
THE OTHER GREAT 
LEGENDARY 
COACHES. 
NOT ONLY 
COACHES, THOUGH. 
PEOPLE IN 
SPORTS. 
AND PEOPLE IN 
LIFE. 
AND EVEN GREAT 
POLITICAL 
PEOPLE, 
RECOMMENDING LOU 
FOR THE 
PRESIDENTIAL 
MEDAL OF 
FREEDOM. 
AND WE'VE 
ANALYZED IT VERY 
CLOSELY. 
WE'VE LOOKED AT 
ALL OF THOSE. 
RECOMMENDATIONS. 
WE'VE LOOKED AT 
LOU'S LIFE AND 
HIS CAREER AND 
WHAT HE'S DONE 
FOR CHARITY. 
AND THE FOOTBALL 
IS OBVIOUS. 
HE WAS A GREAT 
COACH. 
BUT WHAT HE'S 
DONE, BEYOND 
EVEN COACHING. 
SO LOU WILL BE 
GETTING THE 
PRESIDENTIAL 
MEDAL OF 
FREEDOM. 
AND THE DATA IS 
BEING PICKED. 
IT WON'T BE IN 
THE TOO-DISTANT 
FUTURE. 
LOU IS MARRIED 
TO A GREAT 
WOMAN, RIGHT, 
LOU? 
GREAT WOMAN. 
AND SHE JUST 
PASSED AWAY. 
A FEW MONTHS 
AGO. 
AN INCREDIBLE 
WOMAN. 
SHE WAS 
STRONGER. 
I KNEW HER. 
I KNEW HER. 
SHE WAS STRONGER 
THAN LOU. 
I THINK SHE WAS 
STRONGER THAN 
YOU. 
I HATE TO TELL 
YOU. 
YOU'RE STRONG, 
TOO. 
BUT SHE WAS 
SPECIAL, RIGHT? 
SO I JUST WANT 
TO CONGRATULATE 
COACH LOU HOLZ 
ON SOON TO 
RECEIVE THE 
PRESIDENTIAL 
MEDAL OF 
FREEDOM. 
AND WE LOOK 
FORWARD TO THAT, 
LOU. 
THANK YOU VERY 
MUCH. 
AND YOU CAN STAY 
AROUND AND 
LISTEN TO LARRY 
FOR A COUPLE OF 
SECONDS OR GO TO 
YOUR FRIEND. 
>> YOU PROBABLY 
KNOW HALF OF THE 
PEOPLE IN THE 
ROOM. 
>> I BET THEY 
TREAT YOU BETTER 
THAN THEY TREAT 
ME. 
THEY TREAT HIM 
GOOD. 
I WISH YOU'D 
TREAT ME THAT 
WAY. 
LARRY COME UP. 
>> THANK YOU. 
>> THANKS, SARE. 
APPRECIATE IT. 
AGAIN, COACH, 
MANY CONGRATS. 
MANY, MANY 
CONGRATS. 
JUST TO 
UNDERSCORE THE 
PRESIDENT'S 
ASSESSMENT OF 
THE ECONOMY. 
VERY STRONG JOBS 
REPORT TODAY. 
8.4% 
UNEMPLOYMENT 
RATE. 
1.4 MILLION 
PAYROLLS 
INCREASED. 
BUT I WANT TO 
ADD. 
3.8 MILLION. 
3.8 MILLION 
INCREASE IN THE 
IMPORTANT 
HOUSEHOLD 
SURVEY, WHICH 
AIMS AT SMALL 
BUSINESSES 
PARTICULARLY. 
AND FROM WHICH 
THE UNEMPLOYMENT 
IS CALCULATED. 
IN THE PAST FOUR 
MONTHS, WE'VE 
GENERATED A 10.6 
MILLION INCREASE 
IN THE PAYROLLS. 
AND 14 MILLION 
INCREASE IN 
HOUSEHOLDS. 
SO WE'VE 
RESTORED 
BASICALLY HALF 
OF THE JOBS THAT 
WERE LOST IN THE 
PANDEMIC 
CONTRACTION. 
TODAY'S REPORT 
ALSO INCLUDED 
THE LOWER WAGE 
INDUSTRIES AND 
MINORITY GROUPS 
ACROSS THE 
BOARD, THE 
DIFFUSION INDEX 
WAS A WHOPPING 
69%. 
SO THESE GAINS 
ARE VERY, VERY 
BROAD-BASED. 
THERE'S STILL 
TOO MANY PEOPLE 
OUT. 
STILL TOO MUCH 
HARDSHIP. 
STILL TOO MANY 
UNEMPLOYED. 
AND WE ARE 
WORKING ON THAT, 
AND WE ARE 
MOVING IN THE 
RIGHT DIRECTION. 
AND THAT'S WHY 
TODAY'S NUMBERS 
ARE ENCOURAGING 
AND OPTIMISTIC. 
NOW, OTHER AREAS 
THAT THE 
PRESIDENT 
MENTIONED, JUST 
TO UNDERSCORE. 
WE ARE IN A 
HOUSING BOOM. 
THERE CAN BE NO 
DISAGREEMENT 
ABOUT THAT. 
SALES, MORTGAGE 
APPLICATIONS, 
PRICES, HOME 
STARTS UP 23% 
ANNUALLY IN 
JULY. 
WE ARE IN A CAR 
BOOM, AUTOMOBILE 
BOOM. 
WE'VE GONE FROM 
8.7 MILLION IN 
SALES TO 15.2 
MILLION IN SALES 
IN THE RECENT 
FOUR MONTHS. 
THAT'S A BIG 
JUMP. 
AS THE PRESIDENT 
MENTIONED, THE 
LEADING 
INDICATOR THAT 
IS USED CAR 
SALES AND 
PRICES. 
THE 
MANUFACTURING 
INDEXES ARE VERY 
STRONG. 
THIS RECOVERY 
INCLUDES 
MANUFACTURING. 
THE ISMs, 
RUNNING IN THE 
HIGH 50s. 
THE NEW ORDER 
INDEXES AT 68. 
PRODUCTION INDEX 
IS 63. 
WE HAD A 
MANUFACTURING 
REPORT FOR 
DURABLES, CORE 
DURABLES. 
OVER THE PAST 
THREE MONTHS, 
ORDERS UP 35%. 
SHIPMENTS UP 
35%. 
THESE ARE VERY 
STRONG NUMBERS. 
NEW BUSINESS 
APPLICATIONS. 
FROM 25,000 TO 
66,000. 
IT'S 160% GAIN 
THROUGH AUGUST. 
AND AS THE 
PRESIDENT 
REFERRED, 
CONSUMER 
SPENDING IS 
BOOMING. 
WE'RE UP 84% 
ANNUALLY OVER 
THE PAST THREE 
MONTHS. 
MY VIEW, OF 
COURSE, WE ARE 
IN A V-SHAPED 
RECOVERY. 
IT IS A SELF-
SUSTAINING 
RECOVERY. 
HIGH DEMAND, 
INCREASED 
PRODUCTION AND 
MANUFACTURING, 
ALONG WITH 
DECLINE IN 
INVENTORIES, 
WILL GIVE US A 
TREMENDOUS 
MOMENTUM GOING 
INTO THE SECOND 
HALF OF THE 
YEAR. 
I STILL RECKON 
THAT THE THIRD 
QUARTER WILL BE 
AT LEAST 20% 
GROWTH. 
THE ATLANTA 
FED'S GDP NOW 
INDEX IS CLOSE 
TO 30%. 
I THINK THE 
WHOLE SECOND 
HALF AND NEXT 
YEAR, PROVIDED 
THE ECONOMIC 
POLICIES REMAIN 
PRO GROWTH. 
AND I JUST WANT 
TO MENTION ONE 
THING. 
ON THE POLICY 
FRONT. 
I SIMPLY DON'T 
UNDERSTAND THE 
OTHER SIDE, 
WANTING A $4 
TRILLION TAX 
INCREASE AFTER A 
DEPANDEMMIC 
CONTRACTION. 
AND ON THIS 
POINT, I 
BELIEVE, VAST 
MAJORITY OF THE 
ECONOMY. 
I DON'T CARE IF 
YOU'RE SUPPLY 
SIDER. 
YOU JUST DON'T 
RAISE TAXES BY 
THIS AMOUNT OR 
ANY AMOUNT 
REALLY. 
BUT $4 TRILLION. 
REALLY PICKING 
THE POCKETS OF 
TAXPAYERS  WHO 
ARE RETURNING TO 
WORK NOW. 
AND NEED ALL THE 
RESOURCES THEY 
CAN GET. 
YOU JUST DON'T 
DO IT. 
PROFESSION 
SHOULD HAVE A 
COMPLETE 
CONSENSUS ON 
THAT. 
SO I'M QUITE 
SURPRISED. 
AND I THINK THAT 
IS A POTENTIAL 
OBSTACLE. 
AND PEOPLE ARE 
BEGINNING TO 
SPEAK ABOUT 
THAT. 
BUT ALL I CAN 
SAY IS 
FACTUALLY, THE 
NUMBERS ARE 
COMING IN VERY 
POSITIVELY. 
WITH A LOT OF 
OPTIMISM GOING 
ON. 
MORE WORK TO BE 
DONE. 
BUT WE'RE 
ROLLING IN THE 
RIGHT DIRECTION. 
APPRECIATE IT. 
>> THANK YOU, 
PRESIDENT TRUMP. 
IF I CAN FIRST 
ASK YOU A 
CLARIFYING 
QUESTION ABOUT 
THE 300 BILLION. 
YOU RULED OUT 
SAYING THAT YOU 
ARE WAITING FOR 
CONGRESS TO 
REPURPOSE IT 
AFTER STIMULUS 
CHECKS. 
>> YEAH. 
WHAT ABOUT IT. 
>> NO. 
IS THAT CORRECT? 
>> THERE'S A 
THEORY I CAN DO 
IT WITHOUT THE 
APPROVAL. 
BUT I'D RATHER 
GET THE APPROVAL 
SO THAT WE HAVE 
IT. 
BUT THERE'S A 
THEORY I COULD 
TACKED THE $300 
BILLION. 
IT'S MONEY THAT 
WE HAVE AND 
BUILT UP AND 
HAVEN'T SPENT. 
AND I WOULD LOVE 
TO GIVEN IT TO 
THE AMERICAN 
PEOPLE. 
I THINK THERE A 
THEORY THAT I 
COULD DO IT. 
BUT I WOULD ASK 
CONGRESS TO 
APPROVE IT. 
IT'S A VERY 
SIMPLE APPROVAL. 
LITERALLY, IT'S 
A ONE-SENTENCE 
APPROVAL. 
AND THE 
DEMOCRATS SHOULD 
DO THAT. 
THE REPUBLICANS 
WILL DO THAT. 
THEY'D BE GLAD 
TO DO THAT. 
SO WE'LL SEE 
WHETHER OR NOT 
THEY DO IT. 
OKAY? 
PLEASE. 
IN THE BACK? 
>> MR. 
PRESIDENT. 
OUR EDITOR IN 
CHIEF JOHN 
SOLOMON HAD AN 
ORDER WITH THE 
POLICE. 
HE SAID THEY 
WERE GOING TO 
ENDORSE YOU. 
I'D LIKE YOUR 
RESPONSE AS WELL 
AS THE NATIONAL 
FRATERNAL 
ORGANIZATION OF 
POLICE IN THE 
U.S. AS WELL. 
>> WELL, I'M 
HONORED THAT 
DELAWARE BECAUSE 
I DON'T SEE 
BIDEN ANYWHERE 
BUT DELAWARE. 
HE'S -- AND I 
LIKE DELAWARE, 
TOO. 
BUT TO HAVE THE 
LAW ENFORCEMENT 
IN DELAWARE GIVE 
THEIR 
ENDORSEMENT TO 
ME IS REALLY A 
GREAT HONOR. 
IT'S REALLY, 
JUST SHOWS YOU 
HOW PATHETIC THE 
DEMOCRATS ARE 
WHEN IT COMES TO 
CRIME, WHEN IT 
COMES TO LAW AND 
ORDER. 
SO WILL YOU 
PLEASE EXTEND MY 
VERY GREAT 
THANKS? 
IT'S A GREAT 
HONOR TO GET IT 
FROM DELAWARE 
LAW ENFORCEMENT. 
WE'VE GOTTEN IT 
FROM ALMOST ALL 
LAW ENFORCEMENT. 
BUT THAT -- 
BECAUSE EVERY 
TIME I SEE BIDEN 
SPEAK. 
IT'S HIS 
DELAWARE, 
DELAWARE, 
DELAWARE. 
HE NEVER LEAVES. 
I'M ALL OVER THE 
COUNTRY. 
ALL OVER THE 
PLACE. 
>> THANKS, MR. 
PRESIDENT. 
GERMANY HAS SAID 
THE RUSSIAN 
OPPOSITION 
LEADER WAS 
POISONED. 
WHAT DO YOU 
THINK SHOULD BE 
DONE TO RUSSIA 
ABOUT THAT? 
WHAT IS YOUR 
MESSAGE TO 
RUSSIA ABOUT 
THAT. 
AND HOW SHOULD 
THE UNITED 
STATES AND 
COMMUNITY 
RESPOND? 
>> I THINK IT'S 
VERY SERIOUS IF 
THAT'S THE CASE. 
AND I THINK WE 
WILL. 
THERE IS NOBODY 
TOUGHER WITH 
RUSSIA THAT KNOW 
I AM. 
I GET ALONG WITH 
ALL COUNTRIES. 
REMEMBER, WE ARE 
SUPPOSED TO BE 
GOING TO WAR. 
IF HILLARY WERE 
ELECTED, WE'D BE 
AT WAR WITH 
NORTH KOREA. 
THAT WOULD BE A 
MESSY WAR. 
MILLIONS OF 
PEOPLE WOULD GET 
KILLED. 
IN THE MEANTIME, 
WE DIDN'T GET TO 
WAR WITH THEM. 
EVERYONE SAID IF 
I WERE ELECTED, 
WE WOULD BE AT 
WAR IN A WEEK. 
BUT WE GET ALONG 
WELL. 
WE HAVE A GREAT 
PEACE DEAL GOING 
ON IN THE MIDDLE 
EAST ACTUALLY, 
WITH U.I.E. 
AND ISRAEL. 
AND THAT HAS 
BEEN RECEIVED 
LIKE PROBABLY 
VERY FEW THINGS 
THAT MANY PEOPLE 
HAVE DONE. 
IT'S BEEN VERY 
WELL RECEIVED. 
AND WE'LL BE 
HAVING OTHER 
COUNTRIES, 
ANNOUNCING SOON, 
THEY'RE JOINING 
THAT. 
AND WE COULD 
HAVE A LOT OF 
COUNTRIES. 
AND A LOT OF 
COUNTRIES ARE 
SAYING, HEY, WHY 
DIDN'T YOU BRING 
US IN RIGHT FROM 
THE BEGINNING? 
THEY WOULD HAVE 
LOVED TO HAVE 
BEEN THERE. 
WE'RE DOING A 
LOT OF THINGS. 
I THINK THAT I 
WAS THE ONE THAT 
ALERTED THE 
UNITED STATES 
AND THE WORLD. 
I SAID, WHY IS 
GERMANY SPENDING 
BILLIONS AND 
BILLIONS OF 
DOLLARS TO 
RUSSIA TO GET 
THEIR ENERGY 
FROM RUSSIA? 
AND THEN WE'RE 
SUPPOSED TO 
PROTECT GERMANY 
FROM RUSSIA? 
WHAT IS THAT ALL 
ABOUT? 
AND THE 
SANCTIONS AND 
EVERYTHING ELSE. 
AT THE SAME 
TIME, WE'RE 
RIGHT NOW, 
NEGOTIATING A 
NUCLEAR 
NONPROLIFERATION 
TREATY. 
WHICH IS A VERY 
IMPORTANT THING 
TO ME. 
IT'S THE MOST 
IMPORTANT THING. 
SOME PEOPLE SAY 
GLOBAL WARMING. 
I DON'T. 
I SAY THIS IS 
FAR MORE 
IMPORTANT. 
AND WE ARE THE 
BIGGEST. 
THEY ARE THE 
SECOND BIGGEST, 
NUCLEARWISE. 
CHINA IS THIRD. 
THEY'RE ACTUALLY 
A DISTANT THIRD. 
BUT THEY'RE 
BUILDING PRETTY 
RAPIDLY. 
AND AT SOME 
POINT, WE'LL 
INCLUDE CHINA 
INTO THOSE 
TALKS. 
BUT WE'RE DOING 
VERY WELL WITH 
RUSSIA ON 
NUCLEAR 
NONPROLIFERATION. 
I DON'T KNOW 
EXACTLY WHAT 
HAPPENED. 
I THINK IT'S 
TRAGIC. 
IT'S TERRIBLE. 
IT SHOULDN'T 
HAPPEN. 
WE HAVEN'T HAD 
AND PROOF YET. 
BUT I WILL TAKE 
A LOOK. 
IT IS 
INTERESTING THAT 
EVERYBODY IS 
ALWAYS 
MENTIONING 
RUSSIA. 
AND I DON'T MIND 
YOU MENTIONING 
RUSSIA. 
BUT I THINK 
PROBABLY CHINA 
AT THIS POINT IS 
A NATION THAT 
YOU SHOULD BE 
TALKING ABOUT 
MUCH MORE SO 
THAN RUSSIA. 
BECAUSE THE 
THINGS THAT 
CHINA IS DOING 
ARE FAR WORSE, 
IF YOU TAKE A 
LOOK AT WHAT IS 
HAPPENING WITH 
THE WORLD. 
LOOK WHAT 
HAPPENED WITH 
THE CHINA VIRUS. 
LOOK WHAT THEY 
DID BY NOT 
KEEPING THAT 
WITHIN THE 
CONFINES OF 
CHINA. 
THEY SHOULD HAVE 
KEPT IT IN THE 
CONFINES OF 
CHINA. 
THEY SHOULD HAVE 
KEPT IT WITHIN 
180 COUNTRIES IN 
THE WORLD. 
BUT YOU'RE NEVER 
ASKING ABOUT 
CHINA. 
YOU ARE ASKING 
ABOUT RUSSIA. 
I WOULD BE VERY 
ANGRY IF THAT'S 
THE CASE. 
WE'LL LOOK AT 
THE NUMBERS AND 
DOCUMENTS 
BECAUSE WE'RE 
GOING TO BE SENT 
A LOT OF 
DOCUMENTS OVER 
THE NEXT FEW 
DAYS. 
>> MR. 
PRESIDENT? 
>> PLEASE IN THE 
BACK. 
>> THANK YOU, 
MR. PRESIDENT. 
[ INAUDIBLE ] 
>> THANK YOU [ 
INAUDIBLE ] 
OUTREACH, THE 
INDIAN-AMERICAN 
WITH A VIDEO 
CALLED FOUR MORE 
YEARS FOR YOU. 
WHICH HAS GONE 
VIRAL AMIDST 
BATTLEGROUND 
STATES. 
MY QUESTION IS [ 
INAUDIBLE ] WITH 
IVANKA TRUMP, 
WILL BE 
CAMPAIGNING ON 
YOUR BEHALF? 
[ INAUDIBLE ] 
>> I DIDN'T 
UNDERSTAND 
EVERYTHING YOU 
SAID. 
I KNOW INDIA. 
AND I UNDERSTOOD 
THOSE YOUNG 
PEOPLE THAT YOU 
MENTIONED. 
THEY'RE VERY 
GOOD YOUNG 
PEOPLE. 
AND I KNOW THEIR 
RELATIONSHIP TO 
INDY IS VERY 
GOOD. 
AND SO IS MINE. 
AND PRIME 
MINISTER MODI IS 
A FRIEND OF 
MINE. 
AND HE'S DOING A 
VERY GOOD JOB. 
AND NOTHING 
EASY. 
NOTHING EASY. 
BUT HE'S DOING A 
VERY GOOD JOB. 
WE'RE TALKING, I 
MEAN, WHILE 
WE'RE AT IT, 
WE'RE TALKING 
ABOUT CHINA AND 
INDIA. 
PRETTY GOOD ON 
THE BORDER AS 
YOU KNOW. 
IT'S BEEN VERY 
NASTY. 
BEEN A VERY 
NASTY SITUATION. 
AND WE STAND 
READY TO HELP 
WITH RESPECT TO 
CHINA AND TO 
INDIA. 
IF WE CAN DO 
ANYTHING, WE 
WOULD LOVE TO 
GET INVOLVED AND 
HELP. 
AND WE ARE 
TALKING TO BOTH 
COUNTRIES ABOUT 
THAT. 
BUT I APPRECIATE 
YOUR NICE 
SENTIMENTS. 
THEY THINK A LOT 
OF INDIA, AND SO 
DO I. AND I 
THINK A LOT OF 
YOUR PRIME 
MINISTER. 
THANK YOU. 
>> MY QUESTION 
WAS [ INAUDIBLE 
] DO YOU THINK 
-- [ INAUDIBLE ] 
>> WE HAD AN 
EVENT IN 
HOUSTON, AS YOU 
KNOW. 
AND IT WAS A 
FANTASTIC EVENT. 
I WAS INVITED BY 
PRIME MINISTER 
MODI. 
AND THIS WAS A 
MASSIVE. 
THIS WAS AT THE, 
WHERE THEY PLAY 
FOOTBALL. 
HOUSTON FOOTBALL 
TEAM. 
AND IT WAS 
INCREDIBLE. 
IT WAS ACTUALLY 
INCREDIBLE. 
AND THE PRIME 
MINISTER COULD 
NOT HAVE BEEN 
MORE GENEROUS. 
WE HAVE GREAT 
SUPPORT FROM 
INDIA. 
WE HAVE GREAT 
SUPPORT FROM 
PRIME MINISTER 
MODI. 
AND I WOULD 
THINK THAT THE 
PEOPLE, INDIAN 
PEOPLE, WOULD BE 
VOTING FOR 
TRUMP. 
I ALSO, AS YOU 
KNOW, WENT TO 
INDIA, JUST 
PRIOR TO THE 
PANDEMIC 
SETTING, BECAUSE 
INDIA HAS BEEN 
HIT VERY HARD. 
LEFT REALLY, 
ABOUT A WEEK 
BEFORE THAT. 
AND WE HAD AN 
INCREDIBLE TIME 
WITH WHAT WE SAW 
THE PEOPLE ARE 
SO INCREDIBLE. 
IT'S REALLY AN 
INCREDIBLE 
PLACE. 
AN INCREDIBLE 
COUNTRY. 
AND IT'S 
DEFINITELY BIG. 
DEFINITELY BIG. 
BUT YOU'VE GOT A 
GREAT LEADER. 
AND HE'S A GREAT 
PERSON. 
>> THANK YOU, 
SIR. 
YOU THINK CHINA 
IS BULLYING 
INDIA? 
>> I HOPE NOT. 
I HOPE NOT. 
BUT THEY'RE 
CERTAINLY GOING 
AT IT. 
THEY'RE GOING AT 
IT MUCH MORE 
STRONGLY THAN A 
LOT OF PEOPLE 
EVEN UNDERSTAND. 
YEAH, GO AHEAD. 
>> THANK YOU, 
SIR. 
YOU JUST SAID 
YOU HAVEN'T HAD 
ANY PROOF YET. 
YOU HAVE ANY 
REASON TO DOUBT 
GERMANY? 
>> NO, I DON'T. 
I HEAR GERMANY 
HAS MADE -- 
WASN'T 
DEFINITIVE OR 
ALMOST 
DEFINITIVE. 
BUT WE HAVE NOT 
SEEN IT 
OURSELVES. 
WE HAVE NOT SEEN 
IT OURSELVES. 
I WOULD 
CERTAINLY BE 
OKAY WITH THAT. 
THEY WANT TO DO 
SOMETHING. 
THEY WERE TO 
TAKE ACTION. 
SHOULDN'T 
HAPPEN. 
SHOULDN'T 
HAPPEN. 
BUT AGAIN, WE 
ARE WORKING VERY 
CLOSELY WITH A 
LOT OF 
COUNTRIES, AND A 
LOT OF DIFFERENT 
THINGS. 
WE'VE TAKEN 
STRONGER ACTION 
AGAINST RUSSIA 
THAN ANY OTHER 
COUNTRY IN THE 
WORLD, AS YOU 
KNOW. 
I'LL TELL YOU, 
PRESIDENT PUTIN 
WOULD TELL YOU 
THAT NOW. 
BUT THE FACT 
THAT I GET ALONG 
WITH RUSSIA, AND 
I GET ALONG, 
FRANKLY, WITH 
EVERYBODY RIGHT 
NOW. 
I'M NOT GETTING 
ALONG WITH 
CHINA. 
BUT THAT'S MY 
CHOICE. 
I DON'T LIKE 
WHAT HAPPENED 
WITH RESPECT TO 
THE PANDEMIC, 
WITH RESPECT TO 
THE CHINA VIRUS. 
I DON'T LIKE IT 
AT ALL. 
WHAT THEY'VE 
DONE TO THIS 
WORLD AND THIS 
COUNTRY AND 
EUROPE AND EVERY 
PLACE ELSE IS 
TERRIBLE. 
BUT I DO GET 
ALONG WITH 
PRESIDENT PUTIN. 
BUT I'VE BEEN 
TOUGHER ON 
RUSSIA THAN 
ANYBODY ELSE BY 
FAR. 
IF YOU LOOK AT 
THE OBAMA 
ADMINISTRATION, 
THEY WERE WEAK. 
LOOK AT THE LAND 
THEY GAVE UP. 
LOOK WHAT 
HAPPENED WITH 
RESPECT TO 
UKRAINE. 
SUCH A BIG PART 
OF UKRAINE, 
GIVEN UP DURING 
THE OBAMA 
ADMINISTRATION. 
AND I DON'T 
THINK THEY WOULD 
HAVE DONE THAT 
WITH ME. 
I DON'T THINK 
THEY WOULD HAVE 
DONE THAT WITH 
ME AT ALL. 
WE GAVE TANK 
BUSTERS. 
AND THEY GAVE 
PILLOWS. 
HAVE YOU EVER 
HEARD THAT 
EXPRESSION? 
THEY SENT 
PILLOWS AND WE 
SENT TANK 
BUSTERS TO 
UKRAINE. 
SO WITH THAT 
BEING SAID, IF 
WE CAN DO A 
NUCLEAR NONFROM 
PROLIFERATION 
AGREEMENT. 
BUT NO, I WOULD 
NOT BE AT ALL 
HAPPY IF THAT 
WERE THE CASE. 
AND IT LOOKS 
LIKE THAT MIGHT 
WELL BE THE 
CASE. 
BASED ON WHAT 
GERMANY IS 
SAYING, THAT 
SEEMS TO BE THE 
CASE. 
>> I WANT TO ASK 
YOU ABOUT 
SOMETHING YOU 
SAID A WHILE 
BACK THAT HAS 
BEEN TALKED 
ABOUT MANY 
TIMES. 
BACK IN 2015, 
YOU SAID YOU 
DIDN'T THINK 
JOHN McCAIN WAS 
A HERO, THAT YOU 
DON'T -- YOU 
PREFER PEOPLE 
WHO DON'T GET 
CAPTURE. 
IN LIGHT OF ALL 
OF THAT AND ALL 
YOU'VE LEARNED, 
DO YOU REGRET 
SAYING THAT? 
>> I SAY WHAT I 
SAY. 
AND I NEVER GOT 
ALONG WITH JOHN 
McCAIN. 
I DISAGREED WITH 
JOHN McCAIN, YOU 
KNOW THAT BETTER 
THAN ANYBODY, 
FRANKLY. 
I WASN'T A FAN. 
I DISAGREED WITH 
MANY OF HIS 
VIEWS. 
I DISAGREED WITH 
HIS VIEWS OF 
THESE RIDICULOUS 
ENDLESS WARS. 
I DISAGREED WITH 
THE WAY HE 
HANDLED THE 
VETS, THE V.A. 
IS HANDLED MUCH 
BETTER ENOUGH. 
WE DID WITH THE 
MISSION ACT AND 
THE 
ACCOUNTABILITY 
AND ALL THE 
THINGS WE HAVE 
DONE FOR THE VA. 
HE WAS NOT ABLE 
TO DO THAT, BUT 
I DISAGREED WITH 
JOHN McCAIN ON A 
LOT OF THINGS. 
THAT DOESN'T 
MEAN I DON'T 
RESPECT HIM. 
I RESPECTED HIM. 
BUT I REALLY 
DISAGREE WITH HIM
ON A LOT OF 
THINGS. 
I THINK I WAS 
RIGHT. 
I THINK TIME HAS 
PROVEN ME RIGHT, 
TO A LARGE 
EXTENT. 
>> THANK YOU, 
MR. PRESIDENT. 
IN THE STATEMENT 
YOU READ BEFORE, 
WE SPOKE ABOUT 
HOW YOU BELIEVE 
THAT WE ARE, AS 
YOU PUT IT, 
ROUNDING THE 
CORNER ON THE 
CORONAVIRUS 
PANDEMIC CHECK. 
I THINK 
EVERYBODY WOULD 
LOVE TO SEE THIS 
PANDEMIC COME TO 
AN END, NO DOUBT 
ABOUT THAT. 
BUT I WANTED TO 
ASK YOU ABOUT 
COMING OUT AT 
THE UNIVERSITY 
OF WASHINGTON. 
THEY ARE 
FORECASTING BY 
JANUARY 1st OF 
NEXT YEAR, THAT 
WE WILL HAVE A 
410,000 AMERICAN 
DEATHS FROM 
CORONAVIRUS, 
WHICH IS 225,000 
FROM WHERE WE 
ARE RIGHT NOW. 
CAN YOU EXPLAIN 
HOW YOU SEE US 
ROUNDING THE 
CORNER, BASED 
UPON THAT 
PROJECTION? 
>> IF I DIDN'T 
CLOSE UP OUR 
COUNTRY, IF I 
DIDN'T STOP 
CHINA, HIGHLY 
INFECTED FROM 
COMING IN, IF I 
DIDN'T STOP 
EUROPE FROM 
COMING IN FAR 
SOONER THAN 
ANYBODY ELSE, 
INCLUDING DR. 
FAUCI AND OTHERS 
WANTED TO. AND 
DR. FAUCI WAS 
VERY NICE, HE 
SAID, PRESIDENT 
TRUMP MADE A 
GREAT DECISION. 
WE WOULD HAVE 
FAR MORE THAN 
THAT. 
BUT MAYBE EVEN 
MORE 
IMPORTANTLY, IF 
I DIDN'T CLOSE 
UP, WE WOULD 
HAVE COME 
INSTEAD OF THE 
NUMBER YOU 
MENTIONED OR 
WHATEVER IT MAE 
BE,  WE ARE 
ABOUT 180, WE 
WOULD HAVE 
PERHAPS 1.5 OR 2 
MILLION DEATHS 
RIGHT NOW. 
IF I WENT A 
DIFFERENT 
DIRECTION, WHICH 
SOME PEOPLE 
WANTED ME TO DO. 
I DECIDED NOT TO 
DO IT. 
WE WOULD HAVE 2 
MILLION DEATHS. 
A LOT OF 
COUNTRIES DON'T 
REPORT THEIR 
DEATHS. 
OBVIOUSLY CHINA 
IS NOT REPORTING 
BECAUSE THEY HAD 
FAR MORE THAN WE 
DID. 
CHINA HAD FAR 
MORE DEPTH THAN 
WE DID, IN MY 
OPINION, THAT'S 
JUST MY OPINION. 
BUT THEY DON'T 
REPORT THEIR 
DEBTS OR THEY 
DON'T REPORT 
THEM ACCURATELY. 
I DON'T WANT TO 
EMBARRASS OTHER 
COUNTRIES, BUT I 
CAN TELL YOU 
THAT THERE ARE 
OTHER COUNTRIES 
WHERE THE DENTAL 
IS FAR HIGHER 
THAN THE UNITED 
STATES. 
THEY DON'T 
REPORT THAT. 
WE REPORTED TO A 
LEVEL THAT 
NOBODY REPORTS 
IT. 
WE ALSO DO 
TESTING ON 
CASES, I WANT 
YOUR BROADCAST 
AND I READ YOUR 
INFORMATION, 
YOUR MEDIA OUTLET
VERY CAREFULLY. 
I LOOK AT THE 
WORD CASES. 
REASON, YOU 
KNOW, ISAIAH 100 
TIMES, NOBODY 
WANTS TO PICK IT 
UP. WE DO 
TESTING AT A 
LEVEL THAT 
NOBODY EVER 
DREAMED 
POSSIBLE. 
WE HAVE THE BEST 
TEST, BY FAR THE 
MOST TEST 
ACTUALLY, INDIA, 
PER YOUR 
QUESTION BEFORE, 
INDIA IS NUMBER 
TWO. 
THEY HAVE DONE A 
GOOD JOB. 
BUT THEY ARE 
ABOUT 40 MILLION 
TESTS BEHIND US. 
AND THEY ARE A 
COUNTRY OF 1.5 
MILLION PEOPLE. 
NOW, BECAUSE OF 
ALL THESE TESTS, 
WE HAD FAR MORE 
CASES. 
IF WE CUT OUR 
CASES IN HALF, 
IF WE CUT OUR 
TESTING AND 
HEALTH, WE 
PROBABLY HAVE 
ABOUT HALF THE 
NUMBER OF CASES. 
IT WOULD CUT IT 
DOWN TO A LEVEL, 
SOME COUNTRIES 
DON'T TEST. 
THEY TEST WHEN 
SOMEBODY WALKS 
INTO A HOSPITAL. 
THAT IS THE TEST 
YOU GOT. 
THEY WALK INTO A 
HOSPITAL, THEY 
ARE SICK, YOU 
GET A TEST. 
WE HAVE TESTED 
MORE AND BETTER, 
AND YOU TO SEE 
WHERE WE NOW 
HAVE MILLIONS OF 
TESTS COMING IN 
FROM A CERTAIN 
COMPANY THAT HAS 
DONE A FANTASTIC 
JOB AND IT'LL BE 
ANYWHERE FROM 
FIVE MINUTES TO 
15 MINUTES ON 
THE SPOT, VERY 
ACCURATE ON THIS 
TEST. 
IF WE HAD MUCH 
LESS TESTING, NO 
TESTING, WE 
WOULD HAVE, YOU 
WOULDN'T BE 
REPORTING. I 
DON'T WANT TO GO 
OVER THE 
STATISTICS, YOU 
HAVE THEM, BUT 
YOU SEE HOW WE 
ARE DOING 
COMPARED TO THE 
REST OF THE 
WORLD. 
AND IF YOU CHECK 
OUT NEW YORK, 
WHICH HAS BEEN A 
TRAGIC 
SITUATION, WITH 
THE AMOUNT OF 
PEOPLE THAT DIED 
-- 
>> IF WE TAKE 
OUT A MAJOR STAY 
IN THE U.S., 
IT'S STILL A 
PART OF THE 
UNITED STATES. 
>> I'M JUST 
SAYING -- I'M 
JUST SAYING, NEW 
YORK HAS BEEN IN 
PARTICULAR RUN, 
WHETHER IT'S 
BADLY, 
INCOMPETENTLY, 
OR WHETHER IT'S 
UNFORTUNATE, AND 
I APPRECIATED 
GOVERNOR CUOMO 
SAYING THAT I 
HAVE DONE A 
PHENOMENAL JOB. 
HE SAID, VERY 
GOOD THINGS. 
HE SAID BAD 
THINGS TOO, YOU 
KNOW, LATER ON 
WHEN HE HAD NO 
REALLY OTHER 
CHOICE. 
BUT IF YOU TOOK 
OUT NEW YORK 
FROM THOSE 
NUMBERS, YOU CAN 
MULTIPLY OUR 
TREMENDOUS 
SUCCESS BY A LOT.
BUT, LOOK, THE 
BOTTOM LINE IS 
THAT, THE JOB WE 
HAVE DONE ON 
COVID-19 OR THE 
CHINA VIRUS, 
CHINA PLAGUE, 
WHATEVER YOU 
WANT TO CALL IT, 
A LOT OF 
DIFFERENT NAMES. 
BUT IT'S BEEN 
INCREDIBLE. 
WE'VE ALSO 
HELPED A LOT OF 
OTHER COUNTRIES, 
ESPECIALLY WITH 
VENTILATORS. 
BECAUSE WE ARE 
NOW, WE BUILD 
VENTILATORS AT A 
LEVEL THAT 
NOBODY EVER 
THOUGHT 
POSSIBLE. 
>> PIERCING THE 
FORECAST IS 
INACCURATE, THE 
ONE I QUOTED TO 
YOU? 
>> IF WE DIDN'T 
DO WHAT I SAID, 
WE WOULD BE AT 2 
MILLION DEATHS 
RIGHT NOW. 
>> WE ARE TAKING 
THAT INTO 
ACCOUNT, JUST 
GOING FORWARD. 
>> WE ARE NOT 
TAKING THAT INTO 
ACCOUNT. 
I HAD A CHOICE 
TO MAKE IF I 
MADE THE WRONG 
CHOICE, THE 
OTHER COUNTRIES 
DON'T REPORT 
DEATH, THEY 
DON'T REPORT 
THEM TO THE 
EXTENT AND THEY 
ARE NOT 
ACCURATE. 
YOU KNOW THAT, 
AND SO DO I. 
BECAUSE WE HAVE, 
YOU TAKE A LOOK 
AT SOME OF THE 
THINGS HAPPENING 
AT CERTAIN OTHER 
VERY LARGE 
COMPANIES 
COUNTRIES. 
YOU TAKE A LOOK 
AT THINGS 
HAPPENING WITH 
RESPECT TO THE 
REPORTING OF 
DEATH AND OTHER 
COUNTRIES, AND I 
SAY, GIVE ME A 
BREAK. 
SO, IT'S BEEN 
AMAZING. 
BUT, WE MADE 
SOME MOVES AT 
THE BEGINNING. 
CHINA, BIG. 
EUROPE, BIG. 
BUT THE BIGGEST 
OF ALL WAS 
CLOSING IT DOWN, 
UNDERSTANDING 
THE DISEASE. 
AND WE DID, NOW 
WE KNOW IT'S 
ELDERLY, 
ESPECIALLY THE 
ELDERLY IF THEY 
HAVE HEART, 
DIABETES, IF 
THEY HAVE 
PROBLEMS. 
WE ARE WATCHING 
IT AND WE ARE 
WATCHING IT VERY 
CLOSELY. 
BY THE WAY, WE 
ARE DOING SUPER 
TESTING, WITH 
RESPECT TO THE 
SUPER TESTING. 
BUT IF WE DID IT 
A DIFFERENT WAY, 
INSTEAD OF THE 
NUMBER YOU SAID, 
BUT BASICALLY 
THE NUMBER THAT 
WE ARE AT NOW IS 
APPROXIMATELY 
180,000, WE 
WOULD BE AT 2 
MILLION PEOPLE 
RIGHT NOW. 
COULD BE HIGHER 
THAN THAT. 
>> THANK YOU, 
MR. PRESIDENT. 
THANK YOU, MR. 
PRESIDENT. 
>> I'M NOT SURE 
WE HAVE OUR 
VACCINE. 
OUR VACCINE IS, 
I THINK IT'S 
GOING TO BE THE 
STANDARD. 
IS GOING TO BE, 
AT LEAST THESE 
COMPANIES ARE 
INCREDIBLE. 
THEY HAVE COME 
UP WITH THE 
GREAT VACCINES 
OVER THE YEARS. 
THAT IS THE 
VACCINE THAT 
PROBABLY MOST OF 
THE PEOPLE IN 
THIS ROOM ARE 
GOING TO WANT TO 
TAKE. 
>> THANKS, MR. 
PRESIDENT. 
QUICK 
VERIFICATION ON 
MY QUESTION TO 
THE $300 
BILLION, IS NOT 
FROM THE MAIN 
STREET LENDING 
PROGRAM OR A 
DIFFERENT PART? 
>> IT HAS NOT 
BEEN SPENT, BUT 
WE ARE WILLING 
TO SPEND IT. 
WE ARE WILLING 
TO SPEND IT, I 
WOULD LIKE TO 
GET APPROVAL 
FROM CONGRESS. 
IT IS A THEORY 
THAT I DON'T 
HAVE TO DO THAT, 
BUT I WOULD 
RATHER BE 
UPFRONT AND I 
WOULD LIKE TO 
GET APPROVAL 
FROM CONGRESS, 
LET IT GO 
DIRECTLY TO THE 
PEOPLE. 
IT WOULD BE A 
GREAT STIMULUS. 
AT SECTION MORE 
STIMULUS THAN WE 
ARE ASKING FOR, 
IN TERMS OF PURE 
STIMULUS. 
THIS WOULD BE 
PURE STIMULUS. 
I WOULDN'T HAVE 
LET PRISONERS 
GO, SOME VERY 
EVIL PRISONERS 
GO, LIKE, THINK 
OF IT. 
THE DEMOCRATS, 
IN ORDER TO GET 
WHAT THEY WANT, 
AND IN ORDER TO 
GET WHAT THEY 
WANT, THEY ARE 
TALKING ABOUT 
ALLOWING 
PRISONERS TO BE 
RELEASED. 
PRISONERS THAT 
WE DON'T WANT TO 
BE RELEASED. 
SO IN ORDER TO, 
TO GET MONEY TO 
THE AMERICAN 
PEOPLE, THEY 
WANT TO SAY, 
RELEASE 
PRISONERS. 
AND OTHER THINGS 
LIKE THAT 
THEY'RE VERY 
BAD. 
WE JUST CAN'T DO 
THAT. 
WE DON'T WANT TO 
DO THAT. 
>> JUST 
FOLLOWING JOHN'S 
QUESTION, I KNOW 
YOU SPOKE 
EARLIER ABOUT 
THE ATLANTIC 
STORY AND 
REFERENCE NUMBER 
OF MINISTRIES 
AND OFFICIALS 
WHO HAVE COME 
OUT TO SUPPORT 
YOUR -- 
>> WE HAVE 11 
PEOPLE, I WAS 
JUST TOLD, WE 
HAVE 11 PEOPLE. 
THERE IS NOBODY 
THAT FEELS MORE 
STRONGLY ABOUT 
OUR SOLDIERS, 
OUR WOUNDED 
WARRIORS, OUR 
SOLDIERS THAT 
DIED IN THE WAR, 
THAT I DO. 
IT IS A HOAX. 
JUST LIKE THE 
FAKE DOSSIER WAS 
A HOAX, JUST 
LIKE THE RUSSIA, 
RUSSIA, RUSSIA 
WAS A HOAX. 
IT WAS A TOTAL 
HOAX, NO 
COLLUSION. 
JUST LIKE SO 
MANY OTHER 
THINGS, IT IS A 
HOAX. 
YOU HEAR MORE OF 
THESE THINGS, 
TOTALLY 
UNRELATED, AS WE 
GET CLOSER AND 
CLOSER TO 
ELECTION. 
THE MAGAZINE IS 
A FAILING 
MAGAZINE. 
AND NOBODY 
CALLED ME. 
NOBODY CALLED ME 
FROM THE 
MAGAZINE AND 
SAID, DO YOU 
HAVE A COMMENT 
ABOUT IT? 
NO, THEY JUST 
WRITE WHATEVER 
THEY WANT TO 
WRITE. 
THEY FIGURE YOU 
CAN'T GUESS 
YOU'D. 
YOU CAN GET 
SUED, BUT IT'S A 
VERY HARD, IT'S 
HARD TO BRING IN 
LAWSUITS. 
BUT WE HAVE MANY 
WITNESSES, AND 
IT IS A TOTAL, 
IT'S A TOTAL, 
JUST A 
CONTINUATION OF 
THE WITCHHUNT, 
SO THAT IT CAN 
HOPEFULLY AFFECT 
THE ELECTION. 
BUT THE AMERICAN 
PEOPLE ARE TOO 
SMART. 
SO WHETHER IT 
THE FAKE DOSSIER 
THAT TURNED OUT 
TO BE A TOTAL 
FRAUD, OR SO 
MANY OTHER 
THINGS, SO MANY 
OTHER THINGS 
HAVE TURNED OUT. 
I'VE BEEN UNDER 
INVESTIGATION 
FROM BEFORE I 
EVEN GOT 
ELECTED. 
THESE PEOPLE 
HAVE GONE AFTER 
ME MORE THAN ANY 
PRESIDENT IN THE 
UNITED STATES, 
AND HISTORY. 
IN THE HISTORY 
OF THE UNITED 
STATES. 
AND IT'S A 
SHAME. 
IT'S A SHAME. 
DESPITE THAT, WE 
HAVE DONE MORE 
IN THE FIRST 3.5 
YEARS THAN ANY 
ADMINISTRATION. 
THERE'S BEEN NO 
ADMINISTRATION 
HAS DONE MORE, 
WHEN YOU ADD IT 
ALL UP, DESPITE 
ALL OF THE 
HORRIBLE, 
POLITICAL GAMES 
HAVE BEEN 
PLAYED, BUT 
THERE IS NOBODY 
THAT HAS BEEN 
ABLE TO DO WHAT 
I HAVE DONE. 
AND THAT INCLUDES
THE GREAT 
MISSION ACT, 
BECAUSE, WHAT 
OBAMA PASSED WAS 
A JOKE. 
IT WAS A JOKE. 
AND WE TOOK IT 
TO A LEVEL THAT 
NOBODY THOUGHT 
POSSIBLE. 
AND THAT 
INCLUDES 
ACCOUNTABILITY. 
SO, IT'S A 
DISGRACE THAT 
SOMEBODY HAS 
ALLOWED TO WRITE 
THINGS LIKE THAT.
IT COULD HAVE 
BEEN, YOU KNOW, 
A LOT OF TIMES, 
THE SOURCES 
RESOURCES THAT 
DON'T EXIST. 
SOMETIMES THE 
SOURCES SUGGEST 
PEOPLE THAT ARE 
DISGRUNTLED, 
FORMER SO-CALLED 
EMPLOYEES. 
>> MY QUESTION 
IS WHAT ABOUT 
THAT, THE NOTABLE
VOICE MISSING, 
CHIEF OF STAFF, 
JOHN KELLY, WHO 
WAS OBVIOUSLY 
INVOLVED IN THIS.
>> HERE'S THE 
THING, I KNOW 
DON KELLY. 
HE WAS WITH ME, 
DIDN'T DO A GOOD 
JOB, HAD NO 
TEMPERAMENT, AND 
ALL TIMIDLY 
ULTIMATELY, HE 
GOT EXHAUSTED. 
HE WAS REALLY 
EXHAUSTED, 
WASN'T EVEN ABLE 
TO FUNCTION IN 
THE LAST NUMBER 
OF MONTHS. 
HE WAS NOT ABLE 
TO FUNCTION. 
HE WAS SORT OF A 
TOUGH GUY. 
BY THE TIME HE 
GOT EATEN UP IN 
THIS WORLD, IT'S 
A DIFFERENT 
WORLD THAN HE 
WAS USED TO, HE 
WAS UNABLE TO 
FUNCTION. 
I TOLD HIM, 
JOHN, YOU'RE 
GOING TO HAVE TO 
GO. 
PLEASE GIVE ME A 
LETTER OF 
RESIGNATION, AND 
WE DID THAT. 
AND NOW HE GOES 
OUT, AND HE 
BADMOUTH. 
NOW, THERE ARE 
PEOPLE THAT ARE 
JEALOUS, THERE 
ARE PEOPLE THAT 
ARE UPSET THAT 
THEY ARE NOT 
HERE ANYMORE. 
THERE ARE PEOPLE 
THAT WE HAVE 
DONE AN 
INCREDIBLE JOB, 
THE VIRUS CAME 
IN AND NOW WE 
ARE DOING AN 
INCREDIBLE JOB 
AGAIN. 
WE WILL BUILD IT 
UP BIGGER THAN 
IT WAS BEFORE 
THE VIRUS CAME 
IN. 
BUT, I DON'T 
KNOW THAT IT WAS 
HIM. 
I HAVEN'T SEEN 
THAT I SEE AN 
OMINOUS, BUT IT 
COULD'VE BEEN A 
GUY LIKE JOHN 
KELLY. 
HE WAS A VERY, 
YOU'LL GET SOME 
OF HIS NEWS 
CONFERENCES, 
WHAT HAPPENED TO 
HIM, HE GOT 
EATEN ALIVE. 
HE WAS UNABLE TO 
HANDLE THE 
PRESSURE OF THIS 
JOB. 
THIS JOB WAS A 
TOUGH JOB. 
MARK MEADOWS IS 
DOING A GREAT 
JOB, BUT KELLY 
WAS UNABLE TO DO 
THAT. 
AND AS FAR AS 
THAT DAY, I 
MEAN, WE HAVE SO 
MUCH PROOF AS TO 
GOING TO THE, I 
WENT TO PARIS AND
I WAS ALL SET TO 
GO. 
THEY HAD A 
RAINSTORM, THE 
LIKES OF WHICH 
YOU WERE LEAFY. 
THE FOG WAS SO 
GREAT, IT WAS AS 
DENSE AS I HAVE 
EVER SEEN, AND I 
ALMOST KNEW YOU 
COULDN'T USE THE 
HELICOPTER. 
BECAUSE THEY HAD 
TO DRIVE 
THROUGH, I GUESS 
CERTAIN PARTS OF 
PARIS, THE 
SECRET SERVICE, 
WHO BY THE WAY, 
WE HAVE PEOPLE 
HERE THAT WERE 
ON THE TRIP. 
THEY ARE WRITING 
A REPORT. 
THEY WERE UNABLE 
TO EVEN THINK 
ABOUT IT. 
I SAID NO, I 
WANT TO GO. 
I INSIST ON 
GOING. 
IT WOULD'VE 
TAKEN US 
FOREVER. 
THE PARIS POLICE 
SAID, PLEASE, 
YOU CANNOT DO 
THIS. 
THEY WOULD HAVE 
TO SHUT DOWN 
VARIOUS PARTS OF 
PARIS. 
AND IT JUST WAS 
NOT A POSSIBLE 
SITUATION. 
THE HELICOPTER 
WOULD'VE BEEN 
VERY QUICK. 
THEY HAD THE 
HELICOPTER ALL 
SET, BUT THE 
HELICOPTER COULD 
NEVER FLY IN 
THAT KIND OF 
WEATHER. 
AND THAT TURNED 
OUT, THAT IS ALL 
DOCUMENTED, BY 
THE WAY. 
WE HAVE ALL OF 
THE INFORMATION 
FROM AND 
PROBABLY WILL 
RELEASE THAT 
INFORMATION. 
BUT I THINK IT'S 
A SHAME. 
WHEN A SECOND 
GRADE MAGAZINE, 
I DON'T READ IT, 
I KNOW VERY 
LITTLE ABOUT 
THIS MAGAZINE. 
BUT WHEN A 
SECOND GRADE 
MAGAZINE CAN 
WRITE THINGS 
LIKE THAT ABOUT 
SOMEBODY THAT 
HAS DONE SO MUCH 
FOR THE 
MILITARY, CAN 
WRITE THINGS 
LIKE THAT, AND 
GET AWAY WITH IT,
YOU ACTUALLY 
ASKED QUESTIONS 
ON IT. 
IT'S A DISGRACE. 
AND YOU OUGHT TO 
BE ASHAMED OF 
YOURSELF. 
LET ME JUST TELL 
YOU, I WATCH THE 
INTERVIEW WITH 
SLEEPY JOE BIDEN
, AND HE DIDN'T 
ASK QUESTIONS. 
YOU DIDN'T ASK 
QUESTIONS LIKE 
THAT. 
READ THE 
QUESTIONS. 
THEY WERE LIKE 
MEANT FOR A 
CHILD. 
THOSE QUESTIONS 
WERE MEANT FOR A 
CHILD. 
SMILES ON FACES 
OF REPORTERS, 
NOT LIKE YOU AND 
YOU. 
THERE WERE 
SMILES ON THEIR 
FACES. 
WHAT DO YOU 
THINK? 
TAKE A LOOK AT 
THOSE QUESTIONS 
THAT THEY ASK 
HIM. 
THEY WERE NOT 
MEANT FOR A 
GROWN-UP. 
THEY WERE MEANT 
FOR CHILD. 
SO I JUST WANTED 
TO TELL YOU, I 
JUST WANT TO 
TELL YOU, IT IS 
A DISGRACE, 
BECAUSE YOU LOOK 
AT WHAT I HAVE 
DONE FOR THE 
UNITED STATES 
MILITARY. 
I LOVE THOSE 
PEOPLE. 
I'VE GOTTEN THEM 
A RAISE IS WHEN 
THEY DIDN'T GET 
ANYTHING NEAR 
WHAT I HAVE BEEN 
ABLE TO DO. 
AND I HAVE 
REBUILT $2.5 
TRILLION. 
I HAVE REBUILT 
THE UNITED 
STATES MILITARY. 
NOW WE ARE 
INCLUDING SPACE 
FORCE. 
NOBODY HAS DONE 
MORE FOR THEM. 
THAN WHEN I HAVE 
TO HAVE A REPORT 
READ LIKE THAT 
FROM A THIRD 
GRADE MAGAZINE 
THAT'S NOT GOING 
TO BE IN 
BUSINESS MUCH 
LONGER, I LOOK 
AT THAT AND I 
THINK IT IS A 
DISGRACE. 
THEN WHEN I 
WATCH BIDEN 
GETTING ASKED 
QUESTIONS THAT 
ARE REALLY MEANT 
FOR A CHILD TO 
ANSWER, ANYBODY 
CAN ANSWER, AND 
I LOOK AT THE 
LEVEL OF 
QUESTIONS THAT 
YOU PEOPLE ASK, 
I MEAN HONESTLY, 
IT IS 
DISGRACEFUL. 
SO I WANT TO 
THANK YOU ALL 
VERY MUCH. 
WE APPRECIATE 
IT. 
AND WE ARE DOING 
VERY WELL. 
WE ARE VERY, 
VERY PROUD OF 
WHAT'S HAPPENED 
WITH RESPECT TO 
THE ECONOMY. 
AND I THINK THAT
, BEFORE THE 
ELECTION, YOU 
ARE GOING TO SEE 
A THIRD QUARTER 
ANNOUNCED. 
THE THIRD 
QUARTER WILL BE 
AT A LEVEL THAT 
OUR COUNTRY HAS 
NEVER SEEN 
BEFORE. 
NEXT YEAR, WE 
ARE GOING TO 
HAVE A YEAR THAT 
WAS BETTER THAN 
LAST YEAR. 
AND I FEEL VERY 
CERTAIN IT'LL BE 
BETTER THAN LAST 
YEAR. 
IT'LL BE THE 
GREATEST YEAR WE 
HAVE HAD. 
THE WHOLE REASON 
THIS IS WORKING 
OUT THIS WAY IS 
BECAUSE WE SET A 
FOUNDATION FOR 
THIS COUNTRY, 
LIKE WE HAVE 
NEVER HAD BEFORE
. SO NEXT YEAR 
IS GOING TO BE A 
FANTASTIC YEAR, 
REMEMBER, THE 
FORD QUARTER 
WILL BE 
ANNOUNCED AT 
SOMETIME PRIOR 
TO THE ELECTION 
BY A FEW DAYS, 
ACTUALLY. 
IT'LL BE RECORD-
SETTING TYPE 
NUMBERS ON GDP 
AND OTHER 
THINGS. 
THANK YOU ALL 
VERY MUCH.
