00:00 Donald Trump Hi, Tim Cook. 00:02 He's been good for $650 billion. 00:05 Can you imagine? 00:10 That's what he's going to be investing more than that. 00:12 I think it's going to end up being more. 00:14 He's great. 00:15 He's great. 00:16 He's done some job. 00:16 You have done really some job. 00:18 And we have so many people in this room that have done a job. 00:24 I don't know how many have done better than Tim, but some are right up there with you. 00:28 You better get your ass moving, I'll tell you. 00:32 But fantastic people, fantastic people. 00:36 But I go around and I say, meet the biggest people, biggest business people. 00:42 I say, congratulations. 00:43 They say, and what? 00:44 I said, you've doubled your net worth since I've been president, right? 00:47 He said, yeah, even more than that. 00:50 They would say even more. 00:51 We're doing even better than that. 00:53 And we've given you a platform where you can really put your genius to work. 00:57 We have a lot of brilliant genius people in this room, and you can put that genius to work. 01:03 And it's an honor to do it. 01:04 In a way, I'm jealous. 01:05 In a way, I'm upset. 01:07 A couple of people in the room, I can't stand them, and they've become very rich. 01:11 There's nothing I can do about it. 01:13 I would screw them if I could, but I can't do it. 01:15 Right, Dina? 01:16 I can't do it. 01:18 If I had a chance, I could just take them and say, you can't do what Apple's doing. 01:24 But you're not allowed to do that, Newt Gingrich, right? 01:26 We can't do it. 01:27 But I would love to do it, really. 01:29 It's one of those things. 01:30 But everybody's making a lot of money, and everybody's... 01:35 uh investing money in the united states and our jobs are through the roof and i made a statement the other day thank goodness for robots because we're never going to have enough people to run all these places that are being built and i think robots are actually going to be a very big business i think it's going to be surprisingly big but i think we're going to need it 01:54 We're going to need it. 01:55 So we have a country that's becoming very safe. 01:58 We had the best crime numbers that we've had in ever in recorded history. 02:03 Perhaps they were better 100 years ago. 02:06 I'm not sure. 02:07 But the recorded history of 67 years and in 67 years had the best numbers. 02:12 And that's despite having a lot of people in the country that shouldn't be here. 02:16 We're getting out. 02:17 But we're, you know, we've got tough law enforcement, smart law enforcement, and patriotic law enforcement. 02:23 You know, they've been amazing. 02:24 One example is Washington, D.C. You couldn't walk down the street in Washington. 02:29 You'd get mugged, you'd get killed. 02:31 They were losing 100 people. 02:33 Think of it, 100 people a year, and dead. 02:36 You call up the parents. 02:37 They come in from Iowa. 02:38 They come in from Indiana to see the Washington Monument, and they end up being killed. 02:43 It's not happening anymore. 02:45 And I said in the other room, people are going to dinner. 02:50 They're walking. 02:50 They're meeting their wives in the middle of the street, and they're walking across the street to have dinner. 02:55 New restaurants are being built. 02:58 At records that nobody's ever seen, they were closing. 03:00 We lost half of the restaurants in the last four years during the Biden administration. 03:04 Now they're all opening again. 03:07 I even went to have a dinner just to show, I guess, to make a point. 03:10 I went to a restaurant in Washington. 03:12 I walked right down the middle of the street. 03:14 I wouldn't say that Secret Service was thrilled. 03:17 But if I did it a year before, believe me, it wouldn't work. 03:21 Here's my other friend, Hussein. 03:23 How are you? 03:23 Okay? 03:24 Are you good? 03:24 Well, you got a lot of good people here. 03:26 This is a very good place. 03:28 But so it's amazing what happened there. 03:31 Memphis is amazing. 03:33 When you go to Louisiana, what we've done there has been incredible. 03:38 Always much more helpful if we could have a little participation. 03:42 In the case of Louisiana, we have Jeff Landry, the governor, Republican governor. 03:46 We have a couple of Democrat governors. 03:48 We have a couple of, actually, we have a couple of Democrat mayors who very quietly are begging us for help. 03:55 And we're making them all look very good. 03:57 But I would do it. 03:58 If I were a Democrat, if I were a mayor or a governor, I'd be saying, Mr. Trump, could you quietly come over here and would you do this president for me? 04:06 Send about 1,000 troops in here. 04:10 And we do it fast. 04:11 And we get rid of the criminals. 04:12 And it's amazing how effective. 04:14 You know, I didn't campaign on this. 04:15 I campaigned on law and order. 04:16 But I didn't know it would be this type of law and order. 04:19 But the city's... 04:21 some of these cities we've lost these cities and we're bringing it back and we're bringing it back quickly washington took us literally six weeks to make it safe and eight weeks to make it really safe and now it's really safe and i don't know you know some people disagree but i like seeing those big strong soldiers you know we won we wanted the supreme court a very important case merit 04:43 Our country was built on merit and then all of a sudden we got away from that and people with A averages and high college boards and everything were not able to get into colleges and people that had C averages and low college boards were getting in. 05:00 And you know, it's not fair, but our country is based on merit. 05:05 The whole concept and the whole system only works on merit. 05:09 It doesn't work on anything else. 05:12 And our military works now on merit. 05:14 And when you see 05:15 The soldiers in the street in Washington or in Memphis or in New Orleans or in some of these places, including Chicago, you know, we have crime down in Chicago, despite the fact that we have an idiot governor and a mayor that I mean, very low IQ person. 05:32 this is a low iq person and it's amazing you have these wonderful beautiful black women with make america great again mega caps on they're all over chicago they want mega to come in and we went in in a pretty quiet way as opposed to the way we did it in minnesota you know in minnesota we took it we took out over 10 000 05:54 hard-line criminals, people with big convictions that came in here that shouldn't be here, brought them back to countries. 06:00 In some cases, we bring them to jails, because if you bring them back to the country, they'll find a way, despite the strong borders, they'll find a way in. 06:07 Because a lot of them are really evil, but they're not stupid. 06:10 So we're doing a real job. 06:11 The country's the hottest country anywhere in the world. 06:15 best place to invest. 06:17 The great big beautiful bill is incredible. 06:19 You get that one year deduction, you build something and you take the whole thing down. 06:23 And I always said that's what made my first term so successful because, I mean, people were buying things. 06:29 I have a friend bought an airplane. 06:31 He never used it. 06:32 He just bought it. 06:32 He said, I get a, I deducted it. 06:35 He's on the plane. 06:36 I think he's got, Steve, you could buy it. 06:37 He's got about four hours on the plane. 06:40 it's been three years i think he's got to be a great plane to buy actually because he'll never use it but they it really spurred people to do things and do projects that they really would have delayed or hold you know held and the beautiful thing about the great big beautiful bill the one that we just did is uh over there you had a two-year window to do it now we have a 10-year window which i hate to tell you because people will take their time so in one way i didn't want that i call that not good but it is good ultimately 07:08 Think of it. 07:10 It gives me a chance to use it. 07:12 If and when I ever get out of this position, there's a big question. 07:16 It gives me a chance to use it. 07:17 Otherwise, I'd be precluded. 07:19 That would be terrible, right? 07:20 But it's 10 years. 07:22 But it's you're able to you build something. 07:24 You build a factory. 07:25 You write the whole thing off one year. 07:27 Nobody's ever thought that was possible. 07:28 It was always 38, sometimes 40, sometimes 41 years. 07:33 You know, you get a little here, a little there, nothing. 07:35 You write it all up. 07:36 So it's been it's been really amazing. 07:39 And you are the people that made it happen, really, largely it's you. 07:45 It's you and a group of others. 07:46 Not a lot more. 07:47 I mean, the people here, I guess because of Larry, the people that came to this event, it's really incredible. 07:55 I wasn't sure how it was going to turn out. 07:57 We had somebody, as you know, that ran it for many, many years. 08:00 And I'm not sure what happened there, but I figured, well, that's all right. 08:04 They had a hell of a run in Davos. 08:06 Then I heard Larry was taking it over, more or less. 08:09 He called me. 08:11 He said, would you do me a favor? 08:12 Would you be there? 08:14 And we've had some great business dealings together. 08:17 He's great. 08:18 He's one of you. 08:20 He's one of the greats. 08:21 And it was an honor. 08:22 We had a good speech. 08:24 We got great reviews. 08:25 I can't believe it. 08:26 We got good reviews in that speech. 08:27 Usually they say he's a horrible dictator type person. 08:31 I'm a dictator. 08:32 But sometimes you need a dictator. 08:35 But they didn't say that in this case. 08:37 And no, it's common sense. 08:38 It's all based on common sense. 08:40 It's not conservative or liberal or anything else. 08:42 It's mostly, let's say, 95% common sense, and that's what we have. 08:47 So I just want to thank everybody for being here. 08:49 It's such an honor. 08:50 and if we can ever help you're going to let me know and i have a pretty direct line marco rubio's here too he's done a fantastic job as secretary of state he'll go down as maybe the best secretary of state if he keeps going like he's going that's a big question i don't know that he will but for the first year he's right he's headed to the top and i just want to thank everybody very much for being here thank you very much take care of yourself thank you
