Taking you to the White House where
Donald Trump is speaking. It comes as
the FBI is searching the home of John
Bolton who served as his first administr
in his first administration as national
security adviser. Let's listen.
>> Tired of listening to these people say
how safe it was before we got here. It
was unsafe. It was horrible. And Mayor
Bowser better get her act straight or
she won't be mayor very long because
we'll take it over with the federal
government. Run it like it's supposed to
be run. Uh the numbers were horrible. It
was a crimeinfinfested
rat hole and they do have a lot of rats.
We're getting rid of them, too. And
we've made a lot of progress. And uh it
was extremely unsafe and now it's
extremely safe. We had virtually uh no
crime. The uh number was down 87% and
I'm trying to figure out where was the
13% cuz I don't think it existed. Uh the
National Guard has been unbelievable and
they're working with the police and they
have some very good people in there.
They have some people that shouldn't be
police actually, but they have some
great people there. And the Washington
DC is a whole different place. And
Johnny, I'm sure you'll be happy to hear
that too, actually.
>> Oh yes.
>> But it's a whole different place. People
are excited again. They're going out to
restaurants again. That was the other
thing. I saw numbers that restaurant
business is down in the last week. No,
no, restaurant business. You can't get
into a restaurant. Just really lying
people. And that's why people don't
understand how bad and how dishonest the
press is. Uh I saw one poll that had us
at 19% favorable on what we're doing
with Washington. Then I saw another one
has this 94% favorable. And I can tell
you the 94% is correct. The others are
fake just fake news. They got to get
their act together. So bad for our
country. So sick actually. So Washington
DC is really doing unbelievably well.
and the Kennedy Center that we're
fixing. I was just there all morning
with contractors. We're making it
unbeliev It's going to be unbelievable.
It's got great bones, but it needs a lot
of work. The World Cup draw will set up
the group stage of competition. 48 teams
will play in 104 games across 16 North
American cities from Seattle to
Vancouver to Atlanta to Miami. It's
going to be so exciting for our country.
The 2026 FIFA World Cup will be one of
the largest and most complex events.
This will be one of the greatest events,
one of the large. In a way, it's like
Johnny said it better. It's like having
many Super Bowls in a short period of
time, correct?
>> Because each one of these games
essentially is a Super Bowl. Some of
them are bigger than Super Bowls
actually,
>> but they're essentially each one of
these games is like a Super Bowl. The 20
26 FIFA World Cup will be the largest,
most complex set of events in sports
history and the Kennedy Center will give
it a phenomenal kickoff and we'll be
involved and they'll be working over
there for quite a bit of time. We have
it all set that they can stay there for
the big events, the big press
conferences and everything else. And
they'll be in a very safe capital.
That'll be nice. You don't have to worry
about walking down the street, Johnny.
Okay.
>> Thank you.
>> But you could handle yourself. Well,
they could
>> already FIFA is projecting 6 million
loyal fans will attend the World Cup
events next year and 6 billion more are
going to be watching back home. And they
think the $6 billion number is going to
be actually a low number. And this will
drive more than $30 billion into the US
economy and create 185,000 American jobs
in a short period of time, too. No
sporting event attracts more attention,
more fans, more viewers, or more revenue
than the FIFA World Cup. And again, I'll
just say it's the World Cup and it's the
biggest thing there is in sports and we
have it. And I got it in my first
administration and I was really somewhat
devastated, as devastated as I can be. I
don't have time to get too devastated.
Uh I was very happy that today, as you
saw, the uh group that does this, a
government group, radical left group,
announced that Trump was right, took in
$4 trillion
worth of tariffs. that the $4 trillion
are going to reduce the deficit by
numbers far greater than they ever
expected or heard of. And by the way,
the stock market went up a,000 points.
