In a very nice airplane. But it's rocky. Any questions? We had some great economic numbers come out. As you know. We're doing very well economically. A lot of factories are big. Milk all over the country and all of that. But very strong numbers came out. Go ahead.
Can you give us an update on what took place in South Korea today?
These talks between the US and the Ukrainians going along? We're going along well. We want to stop people from being killed. Doesn't have much to do with us. And I'd like to see what we say about US Songs. A lot of people are being killed. Last month we had 27,000 people killed in that ridiculous war. That should have never happened. It would have never happened.
Have you spoken with the.
I have. Yeah. I've spoken to them. They're doing well. Ukraine's got some difficult problems. Some difficult problems. But I think Russia would like to see it end. And I think Ukraine. I know Ukraine would like to see it end.
You said that problems.
Well, we have a corruption sit situation going on, which is not helpful.
And is that impeding the peace talks?
I said it was going on for three years. Right. And I said three years. They said it. So I was way ahead of schedule. But I think that there's a good chance we can make a deal.
Mr. President, I'm Venezuela. Can you tell us more about why the airspace above Venezuela should be considered?
Because we consider Venezuela to be not a very friendly country. They sent millions of people. Really. And probably a number in excess of that. And a lot of those people shouldn't be in our country from jails, from gangs, drug dealers. All of the people that came into our country shouldn't have been in our country causing a lot of problems. And drugs.
Does your warning mean that an airstrike is imminent or should we not read it that way?
Don't read anything into it.
The New York Times reportedly. That phone call with the Journal.
Did you. I don't want to comment on it. The answer is yes.
And can you tell us a little bit?
No, I can't do that.
Did you say. Would you say it went well.
There? Went well or badly?
Can you talk a little bit about the strikes and the controversy around Secretary with the facts keep being said.
I don't know anything about it. He said. He said he did not say that and I believe. So you don't know if there was the two men.
The second killed the two men.
He said he didn't do it. He said he knew.
Would you be okay with that if.
He did he said he didn't do it, so I'd have to make that decision.
Make so clear how you want to keep drugs out of the U.S. can you explain more about why a notorious drug trafficker?
Well, I don't know who you're talking about.
Juan Hermando Hernandez.
Well, I was told, I was asked by Honduras, many of the people of Honduras, they said it was a Biden setup. I don't mean Biden looked. Biden didn't know he was alive. But it was the people that surround the Resolute desk, surround Biden when he was there, which was about during the time. And the people of Honduras really thought he was set up. And it was a terrible thing. He was the president of the country. And they basically said he was a drug dealer because he was the president of the country. And they said it was a might administration set up. And I looked at the facts and I agreed with them.
What evidence did you share that he was set up and that he wasn't?
Well, you take a look. I mean, they could say that you take any country you want. If somebody sells drugs in that country, that doesn't mean you arrest the president or put him in jail for the rest of his life.
Sorry, can I just clarify?
Do you think the United States, that includes this country. Okay. To be honest, I mean, if somebody does something wrong, you put the president of the country in jail. They said it was a Biden setup. It was a Biden administration set up. And you have a big race going on this week, next week. I think it's going to be a very important race. It'll be interesting to see Honduras. That's. That's what you're talking about, right?
Correct? Yes.
Yes, ma'.
Am.
Well, what, what is the second part of your question? No, I don't have a dead. I have a deadline when the war is over, and hopefully the war is going to be over. 27,000 people killed last week. 27,000 over the last three or four weeks. 27,000 people. That war should end.
Just for clarity, if there.
Were a.
Second strike that killed people, even in the first strike, were you.
I don't know that that happened. And Pete said he did not want them. He didn't even what people were talking about. So we'll look at. We'll look into it. But no, I wouldn't have wanted that second strike. First strike was very lethal. It was fine. And if there were two people around. But Pete said that didn't happen.
Does that make you.
I have great confidence.
You think you know Second strike I.
Don'T know I'm going to find out about. But me said he did not order the death of those two men.
Do you have any concerns about how those boat strikes have been carried out at all?
Very little, because you can see the boats, you can see the drugs in the boats. And each boat is responsible for killing 25,000Americans. So they're doing an amazing job and you know, we're getting. Just look at the numbers. The amount of drugs coming into our country by sea is infinitesimal compared to what it was just a few months ago. And each boat. Think of this. Each boat on average is responsible for the death of 25,000Americans.
On an immigration. Your administration made a lot of. Know that AF national is a suspected shooter of these national Guards.
People that you meet are.
So you announced that asylum and that.
Includes Somalians and include plenty of others.
How long does your administration ra asylum.
Into the US I think a long time.
Can you, can you give any. We don't want.
We don't want those people. We have enough problems. We don't want those people.
Is that a year?
Two years. No time limit, but it could be a long time. You said we don't want those people. Do you understand that? Do you understand it? Who are you with? Let me just say something. We don't want those people. Does that make sense? You know why we don't want them? Because many of them are no good and they shouldn't be in our country.
What do you mean by those people?
The people from different countries that are not friendly to us and countries that are out of control themselves. Countries like Somalia that have virtually no government, no military. No. All they do is go around killing each other. Then they come into our country and tell us how to run our country. We don't want them.
Is there a list?
Well, I guess we gave you 19, right? There's probably more than that.
Is that what you mean when you mean third world countries? Those 19?
No, I don't think they're all third world, but in many cases they are third world. They're not good countries. They're very crime ridden countries. They're countries that don't do a good job. They're countries that don't register for standpoint of success. And we frankly don't need their people coming into our country telling us what to do.
And you're talking with D now talking.
About like Somalia where you have a congressman goes around telling everybody about our constitution and yet she supposedly came into our country by marrying her brother. Well, if that's true, she shouldn't be a congressman and we should throw the hell out of our country off of that.
In that same post, you mentioned Tim Walls and you call him what many Americans do find and offensive. Or do you stand by that claim in calling Tim Wall?
Yeah, I think there's something wrong with him. Absolutely. Sure. You have a problem with it. You know what? I think there's something wrong with it. Anybody that would do what he did, anybody that would allow those people into a state and pay billions of dollars out to Somalia. We give billions of dollars to Somalia. It's not even a country because it doesn't function like a country. It's got a name, but it doesn't function like a country. Yeah, there's something wrong with walls.
Mr. President, you said that you might denaturalize.
People that are in here that.
Shouldn'T be here, that became Americans.
We'll see. I mean, yeah, if we have criminals that came into our country and they were naturalized, maybe through a fight with somebody that didn't know what they were doing, if I have the power to do it. I'm not sure that I do, but if I do, I would denaturalize them.
What do you mean by reverse?
Do you have a question?
What do you mean by reverse?
My relationship. It means get people out that are in our country. Get them out of here. I want to get them out. We got a lot of people in our country. Country that shouldn't be here. And they came in through Biden. And he was the worst president in the history of our country. But the single biggest thing he did was allow the worst. Allow millions of people into our country that shouldn't be here. Drug dealers, prisons were opened up and allowed to come into our country. You take a look at the people that were allowed to come into our country. We're paying a big price for it, and we will for years to come, including the recent killer of two wonderful National Guard people. And I'll tell you what, that animal should not have been allowed to come into our country. Thank you very much, everybody. Thank you. I have spoken to both families. Well, I mean, I can give you an update. They're devastated. Does that make sense to you? They're devastated.
Can you give us an update on.
Well, as you know, the one is no longer with us. And Andrew is fighting for his life, and his parents are unbelievably great people, highly religious people. And they're praying, and they want everybody to pray for Andrew, and he has a chance to make it but he is. I mean, his mother and father, they were so unbelievable. They were so positive. From West Virginia, great state. I spoke with Sarah's parents, too, and the only thing I can say, they were devastated. They can't even believe it.
Yeah, I do.
I do. I've already suggested it. I said, when you're ready. That's a tough thing. Come to the White House. We're going to honor Sarah and likewise with Andrew. Recover or not, we're going to honor.
I do have one more question about Wyncliff, because you mentioned, and this was asked previously, do you. Can you tell us what day Wyncliff is going to be? And then on that.
Is that sometime next week?
Okay, you don't have it. Is it early next week? Late next week?
Sometime next week.
And you said on health care, because it's so important.
You know, one of the reasons that healthcare can work is because of what I just did with favorite cases. You're going to have drug prices coming down 500, 600, 700% because of me. In other words, we're going to have the lowest drug prices tied for the lowest drug prices anywhere in the world. It's called favorite nations, and you don't talk about it. It's probably the biggest thing to happen in medicine in the last hundred years. And it can have a huge impact, positive impact pricing for healthcare. Are you any closer?
Are you any closer on that right now?
I know who I'm gonna pick.
Tell them Kevin has it.
I tell you, we'll be there. Thank you very much, Everybody.
Thank you. Mr.
This is a rocky flight. I think we're gonna get out of here before something happens. They asked about my MRI. MRIs are very.
Governor Waltz asked you to police the MRI.
Will you tell us what it was, Governor Walsh?
You mean the incompetent Governor Wal. If they want to release it, it's okay with me to release it. It's perfect. It's like my phone call where I got impeached. It's absolutely perfect. So if you want to hear about it or if you want to release it, do you want to have it released? News Nation failing. Failing News Nation. News Nation is doing lousy, by the way. But if you want to have it released, I'll release it.
Can you tell us what they were looking at?
For what? Releasing. No, no, no.
What part of your body was the MRI looking at?
I have no idea. It was just an mri. What part of the body? It wasn't because I took a cognitive test and I aced it. I got a perfect mark, which you would be incapable of doing. Goodbye, everybody. You too.
Thank you, Mr. President.
Thank you, sir.
