Good morning, Mr. President.
Mr. President, how did you look into the latest Iranian proposal?
I reject their proposal. They'll, they, they made a proposal, but I've rejected it.
Sir, do you only want outlets that support being part of the press corps?
Say it.
Do you only want outlets that support you to be a part of the press corps?
No, no. I want real news, not fake news like you.
Mr. President, but --
I want -- listen, I want real news. I love an open free press. What I don't like is the fake press where a group like CNN -- few people watching -- or MSDNC, which they changed, I guess, for now. But, uh, you know why they changed it? Because their ratings were so bad.
Mr. President --
What I don't like -- wait, wait.
Do you not want press questions?
Quiet. What I don't -- what I don't like is fake news, and they're fake news 100%. And --
Do you not want corps questions, sir?
In two years, I doubt they did one good story, and I won the election in a landslide.
Do you not want press questions, sir?
What we don't want is we don't want fake news.
Mr. President, right here. Mr. President, I have a quick question. Mr. President?
Any plans to strike Iran after midterms?
Uh, well, I'm rejecting their deal. They want to make a deal where they open the Strait immediately because they're losing so badly. You know, you don't read that or you don't see that in the fake news. But, uh, we're winning tremendously. We have total control of the Hormuz Strait. Uh, massive amounts of oil are coming out of the Hormuz Strait.
Last night, we had 29 ships come out. Uh, they wanna make a deal, and I think that's fine. I like making a deal, too. But, uh, I'm not -- that deal would not be acceptable.
Would you make a deal to --
And what they wanna do is immediately open the Hormuz Strait. Do you know why? Because they're dying. You know why they're dying? Because they have no money coming in. Because they get their money from the Hormuz Strait. So they outsmarted themselves. They said, "Let's close it and cause a problem for the world." And then I came along, and we put up the greatest blockade ever in military history.
It's a wall of steel. I would put it up, and guess what? They don't have any money now because they wanted to close the Strait. And I said, "That's fine. We're gonna close it on you," but everybody else is able to use it.
What about -- what about Taiwan, sir? Did Taiwan come up with President Xi?
It did. It did. We didn't talk about it too much. Right now, it's, you know, fine. It's just moving along. But we didn't, we didn't spend a lot of time talking about Taiwan.
Mr. Pres --
He understands very much how I feel.
Mr. President, right here. Mr. President, regarding intelligence, why is it important for you to call it super intelligence instead of AI? Why is it important for you to call it that?
Well, I, I'd say this, that super intelligence, SI, I don't call it AI anymore. I call it SI because it's a much better name. It's a much more accurate name because when you say the other, it, it means it's fake. Artificial means it's fake, and it's not fake. It just, it's very strong intelligence.
Mr., Mr. Pres --
I think a lot of people are doing that now. I call it SI. So we had a big talk on SI, and he likes the idea of changing the name to SI too because it's much more accurate. It's actually much more elegant, but it's much more accurate. And this country is going to do it 100%.
Mr. P- --
We had a, a lot of talk about it. The United States of America is not gonna be putting on brakes. When they wanna put on brakes, it's just like everybody's gonna be dead. You're all supposed to be dead now because of global warming. Uh, it's like Russia, Russia, Russia hoax. All of these different hoaxes.
Well, what they wanna do is they wanna stop our progress because we're leading China by a lot, and we're gonna keep it that way. We didn't spend that much time talking about it. Uh, I would rather not integrate because we're leading by a lot. When you're leading, you don't open it up to each other. We're leading by at least a year and maybe a year and a half.
Some people say two years. Uh, I'm not looking to open it up, and we really didn't talk much about it. We did talk about the name Super Intelligence.
Mr. President, quick question. Mr. President? Mr. President, uh, Mr. President, Barack Obama just said, "If you put women in charge of every government for two years, things would be better." Do you buy that?
It's a ridiculous -- I love women. I think they're great, but what a ridiculous statement that is, right? Even you would say that.
Did you speak with Zelenskyy about Patriot missiles and what was the, uh --
I did. I spoke to him a lot. And he's going along, and Putin's going along, and someday, hopefully in the not-too-distant future, maybe before the heavy winter, they'll make a deal.
Did you agree with Zelenskyy that Ukraine could work for Patriot missiles?
I agreed with, uh, Zelenskyy that, uh, we talked about a lot of different subjects, and many of those subjects have very strong agreement. But you know what I want him to do? Make a deal. I want him to settle with Putin, and I want Putin to settle with him.
So if --
Last month, 25,000 people died in the Ukraine-Russia war, okay? 25,000. The month before that, 32,000 people died. They're mostly soldiers, 97% soldiers. But whether they're soldiers or civilians, think of it, 32,000. Two months ago, 33,000 people. This month, 25,000 people died. What a shame.
-- action plan for Cuba? There's been reports that some reserves have been activated potentially towards Cuba. Anything you can confirm?
I would say that Cuba and us will make a deal. I don't think we'll need the military. Cuba is failing very badly. Uh, we wanna help Cuba. We wanna open Cuba up to our people. We have great Cuban Americans that wanna go back. We wanna open Cuba up to our people. Okay? Thank you very much everybody.
One more question. [Inaudible] the person of Venezuela?
I did. I did. I spoke about election. Uh, by the way, she was very nice, very terrific. Uh, we're, we're spending a lot of money. They are spending. The oil companies are all going into Venezuela now. And very shortly, I mean, Venezuela's making a lot of money now for its people. Really a great thing to see it.
Mr. President, how did your meeting go with Iraqi Prime Minister al-Zaidi?
It went great. He's a fantastic man, a friend of mine. I endorsed him, right? I mean, I endorsed him. The Iraqi Prime Minister, he's a fantastic guy. Thank you.
