We're proud to tell you they're from Venezuela, these big ships.
[Inaudible]
How do you like the music, everybody? Do you know where that ship comes from? Venezuela. Venezuela got lucky, because they're doing really well now. Getting along very well with Venezuela. Stopping by with my friends. We have great friends, and we've been together for a long time. Really a long time. And it's amazing what's happened to Corpus Christi.
The new bridge, which we helped you a lot with.
Exactly.
The new bridge just opened. It's beautiful. That's a great bridge, huh? It's all white. Very unusual, white. It's red at night, but only of the Republicans here.
[Inaudible] primaries?
Pretty much, yeah.
[Inaudible]
No, not yet.
[Inaudible]
I don't want to discuss that. Is everybody having a good time? You know how big this is? Millions and millions of barrels of oil are pouring right in here. It's a great thing. No, the relationship with Venezuela has been amazing.
Do you have a message for Nouri al-Maliki?
Well, they should make a deal, but they don't want to quite go far enough. It's too bad. We've been playing with them for 47 years, and that's a long time. They've been blowing the legs off of people, blowing the face off our people. And knocking out ships one by one. And every month there's something else.
We can't put up with it too long. We're not happy with the negotiation. They don't want to say the keywords, "We're not going to have a nuclear weapon." They have to say, "We're not going to have a nuclear weapon," and they just can't quite get there. They want to enrich a little bit. You don't have to enrich when you have that much oil.
I'm not happy with the negotiation.
[Inaudible]
I say no enrichment. Not 20%, 30%. They always want 20%, 30%. They want it for civilian, for civil. Civil. I think it's uncivil. I'm not happy with it.
How close are you to making a decision on strikes? How close are you to making a decision on strikes?
I'd rather not tell you. You would have had the greatest scoop in history, right? Yeah.
Mr. President, how much longer will the negotiation [Inaudible]
Well, they're going. We're negotiating right now, but they're not getting to the right answer. And we're not going to see people, we're not going to see what's happened for 47 years keep going. 47 years we've been doing this with them. The Obama deal was the worst deal. Nobody ever saw a deal so stupid. Right now, if you did the Obama deal, if that held, if I didn't terminate it, red would have a nuclear weapon and it would be a whole different ballgame.
[Inaudible]
That Obama deal was one of the worst, one of the dumbest deals I've ever saw. First of all, it was very short-term. It would long be over. You know that. I terminated it. But if I didn't, it would be over by now anyway. But the Obama deal, what he did was one of the dumber deals. I've seen a lot of dumb deals.
That would be one of the dumb.
Are you concerned a strike in Iran might raise oil price and [Inaudible]?
I'm not concerned. No, no. I'm concerned about people's lives. I'm concerned about long-term health for this country. That's what I'm concerned about.
Did the Vice President [Inaudible]
Yeah, he did. I can't tell you that.
I can't tell you that. That I can tell you. But I do like, come here. Come here. Do you want to see something nice? Look at that. Right out of Venezuela. Goodbye, everybody. Thank you.
