I don't care about the Democrats. The Democrats hate our country. The Democrats are in chaos right now, and they have no common sense. You know, they have one quality that's amazing. They stick together. And it's harder because they stick together a ridiculous policy like men playing in women's sports, open borders for everybody, including murderers and anybody else that want it. We're open to you. Come in, murderers. You know why they do that? They do that for a couple of reasons, but they do it for votes because they think they're gonna vote for the Democrats, even though I did great with a Hispanic vote, tremendous with Hispanic vote. You know, I turned that whole thing around. The Hispanics like me and I like them. And you know, it's interesting with Hispanics. When I built the wall, everybody said, oh, that's gonna ruin us for the Hispanic. It was just the opposite. They know all about immigration, and they know all about death and crime, and they're smart people, and they have common sense. They wanted to be protected from the people that were coming into our country. So you know, I won the election with a very tremendous Hispanic vote, and I think it's higher now than it was then. So we're a party of common sense. The Democrats are a party of insanity. They're a party that will destroy our country. If I didn't win this election, I believe our country would have been destroyed by now. One year, this order would have taken. If you had Kamala or a sleepy Joe, either one, it wouldn't have mattered. They're the same thing. Two sleepy people, two stupid people. I believe, and by the way, Gavin Newsom, who is one of the candidates, I believe he took himself out of the running when he says he is, he suffers from mental disability. And a reporter said it was terrible that I talked that way about somebody with mental disability. I said, no problem with it, but I don't want a person with mental disability to be my president. I mean, you don't want to have a person with mental disability being a president. And Gavin Newsom said that he can't read a speech. He can't do almost anything. And then he said he's as dumb as all the people in the room, and he got accused of being a racist, which was an amazing set. I thought it was the worst interview I've ever seen anybody give. He's actually a very stupid person. So I believe he's out of the running. I think that that statement, that interview, he admitted that he's a stupid person. I don't want a stupid person being president. You know, I'll say it right now. I say it because no press ever reports it. I'm the only president that ever took a cognitive test. I took it three times. It's actually a very hard test for a lot of people. It wasn't hard for me, but it's a cognitive test starts off with an easy question. And by the time you get to the middle, get suffered by the time you get to the end, very few people can answer those questions. You get very tough mathematical equations and things. I took it three times. I aced it all three times in front of numerous doctors that I have no idea who they are. And I was told when I went in, I said, Doc Ronnie told me this. My current doctors were fantastic doctors. They said, Well, if you take it, you know, it's Walter Reed. It's essentially a public hospital. And if you do badly, it's probably gonna get out. But I aced it. I got them all right. And one doctor said, I've never seen anybody get them all right. I've been doing the test for 20 years. I want people I would love to see anybody that's a president or a vice president or anybody that has any chance of being a president. I would like to see them take a cognitive test because we had a man in this office that had no clue what was happening. And let me give you a little secret. He wasn't a smart man 30 years ago. I'll tell you about President Obama. He wasn't a smart man either. I know all about him. He wasn't a smart man, highly overrated. He was a great divider. And our country can't go through that anymore. Can't go through. We have done an amazing job. I had to do a little stopover. I call it an excursion. I had to do a little stopover in Iran and we had to knock the hell out of him because our country would not have been safe. The world wouldn't have been safe. I've done a great favor for the world. The world has not been. It has not been reciprocal because when I told NATO where we give millions and billions of dollars, trillions over the years, I said, Do you mind coming up and giving us a little hand with the streets? Send up some. They didn't want to get involved. And I believe that's gonna cost them dearly. Thank you very much, everybody.

The 76-day period you're talking about, that's the period between the time that President Trump was elected and President Biden left office, is that right? That is correct. And during that short period of time, 76 days, how much taxpayer money went out the door of the Department of Energy? From the loan program office in loans and commitments, 93 billion dollars. Well over twice as much as in the previous 15 years. So how do you vet and do due diligence on a loan in 76 days? One loan, much less 93 billion dollars. How do you do it? I think it's probably pretty clear it wasn't done in many cases. As I mentioned, I'm told I'm holding back clearly in place stuff. There are lots of funds that have gone out the door and commitments that were made from businesses that provided no business plan, no numbers about their own financial solvency or how this project worked. So you're telling me that the Department of Energy in the 76-day period before their boss was going to leave office gave our loan money to entities that had no business plan? Correct. No financials? Correct. A number of those were before the 76-day period as well. I've come in with great concern about how this institution, this great American institution has been run and how American taxpayer money has been handled. I'm sorry everyone's upset that we're taking some time to do it, but what we've seen and what the record shows is just responsible. I'm not upset. A lot of people say you haven't returned your calls. Could it be that you and your colleagues have returned the calls but the people calling just didn't like the answer? Could that be a possibility? I'm not aware of that. I give my cell phone number to any senator that wants it and I return my calls. Has your department gone dark? Somebody said your department's gone dark. Is it dark over there? It doesn't look dark behind me. I don't see any of you sitting on your hands. Somebody made that charge. I see everybody's hands. Let me ask you something else, Mr. Secretary. Does anybody ever come to the Department of Energy to get some of this free money and lie to you? I have not experienced that, but I think it's a reasonable assumption that that has happened. Does anybody ever come to you? Is it conceivable that some of these folks that heard about this free money came to you with a half-baked idea? I think it's very conceivable. In fact, I've seen such plans that were half-baked would be charitable. You said plans that didn't have a business plan, right? Correct. A promise to develop one, to find a location. Just give me the money and I'll develop the plan later. Correct. And now you're going back through, not money that's already been contracted, but you're going back through and checking each one of these loans and these grants to make sure there was no stealing, aren't you? We are. We are. Make sure there was no incompetence, aren't you? Is that correct? We're looking at that, and yeah, my blood pressure is rising right now, just thinking about what we have seen and what did happen at the Department. And you're going to tell some of these boondoggles no, aren't you? That's correct. And they're going to be upset, aren't they? That's correct. And they ought to be upset, shouldn't they? I don't think they should be upset. I think they should be ashamed. I am. It's rare that I'm speechless, but I want to be sure I understood the people running the Department of Energy for President Biden's administration shoveled 93 billion dollars, not million, 93 billion dollars out the door in 76 days. And it just happened to be the time between when President Trump was elected and President Biden, their boss was leaving. Is that right? It is correct and distasteful confidence undermining. My God. Look, I hope you take whatever time you need to go through all of these projects penny by penny. I mean, I've heard this testimony today. Well, it'll cost jobs in my state. If somebody steals 50 million dollars and goes and spends the money in their state, that's going to stimulate the economy, isn't it? Yes, it will. But that's still stealing, isn't it? And it's still illegal, isn't it? Yes. I mean, they were spending money at the Department of Energy like it was ditch water. Their budget went from 60 billion dollars to 160 billion dollars since fiscal year 2021. It just sounds to me like there were a lot of people coming to the Department of Energy who had all four feet and their snout in the trough. And I hope you'll turn down the boondoggles and refer the thieves to the Department of Justice. We will indeed. Senator, the one complication in there too is mixed in there are good companies doing good things honestly with credible plans. And you're trying to separate the wheat from the chaff. Yes, that's what we're trying to do. That's our job. And we're doing it. But there's a lot of chaff.

-The legacy media, Sean, is fundamentally corrupt. They are an extension of an arm of the Democrat Party. Honestly, Sean, the media, the legacy media, like CBS and ABC and NBC and every other legacy outlet, exists to serve and advance the interests of the Democrat Party. Throw in "New York Times," throw in "Washington Post," throw in "The Atlantic." They should all be required to register as a Democrat political action committee. I mean, let's just think through some of the things that you mentioned. President Trump has been in office in his second term for a year and a half and has solved problems that plagued this nation for decades, generations, or even longer. I mean, just go through the foreign policy piece here. He's completely rebalanced our trading relationship with Canada. He has protected American manufacturing and essential supply chains from China. He has completely rebalanced NATO and ensured that other nations pay their fair share. He is now pursuing peace in the Korean Peninsula, which hasn't been achieved since the armistice in the 1950s. President Trump has single-handedly toppled Maduro, freed the people of Venezuela, and secured the greatest boon for America's energy and supply chains probably in the history of our country. He's taken the fight to the drug cartels, declared them a foreign terrorist organization, used military power to fight these enemies of human civilization. And as you have mentioned, he stopped Iran, the Islamic theocracy of Iran, from obtaining a nuclear weapon that could destroy an entire city. And now he'd come at home. He's unleashed American energy. He's building pipelines. He's bringing the price of gas down from the heinous highs of the Biden administration. He's taken inflation from the highest level in American history down to 2%. The largest tax cut in American history, no tax on tips, no tax on Social Security, no tax on overtime. And he took the most unsecured, dangerous, violent, hellish border in the history of our republic and 15 straight months, Sean, of zero releases, zero into the country.

- If we don't make the final deal, their nuclear program is still destroyed. They're still much weaker as a country. So my attitude is America wins either way. But I do think that what the president has done is asked us to do something that frankly, nobody in 47 years of dealing with the Iranians has done, which is offer them an opportunity to fundamentally transform how they behave with the West. They've been the largest state sponsor of terrorism basically since they began as a nation, or at least as an Islamic Republic 47 years ago. He's saying, look, if they're willing to change, we're willing to change too. If they're not willing to change, we still fundamentally have all the cards and I think it's a good place for us to be. - But their program isn't destroyed. The nuclear program isn't destroyed. I mean, I don't know any of our objectives. And look, I said I-- - What part is not destroyed? - Well, we didn't get in there. The whole thing was we have to get in there and see. Other us, we wouldn't be doing this. - Well, let me say-- - And we didn't. - First of all, so a nuclear program, and I'm hardly a nuclear scientist, I'm a lowly politician. But the thing that you have to destroy is their ability to enrich uranium, which has been destroyed. You have to destroy their ability. Well, because you need functioning centrifuges that can actually spin and we know they're born. - Well, we gotta get in there and we gotta get the dust. And we didn't get in there, so how do we get the dust? - So that's actually a separate question. So there's the highly enriched stockpile, which by the way was allowed to accumulate over 20 years of previous administrations. That enriched stockpile is something that we wanna get, but Bill, if we never get it, and the president wants it, and we are gonna get it, but if we never got it, it's buried deep underground and they don't have the ability to turn it into a nuclear weapon. So the program is functionally destroyed. We're just talking about can we set them back even further through these negotiations. - Okay.

>> Beautiful reflecting pool in Washington DC, but in recent years. It's been neglected and it's been really really ugly kind of swampy people found snakes in there, you know kind of make sense right. Dirty swampy the swamp.

Now look at this president Trump says he can fix it he knows it I know he can he's done similar things let's put that true social up he has promised to do it he's done it before this is kind of what in a way put president Trump on the map. It reminds me of the woman ring situation. Anybody know the woman ring. Yeah, president Trump fix the woman ring the city was trying to do it for 15 years. President Trump did it in about 6 weeks and mayor Koch who hated Donald Trump had to give him credit it was an amazing moment. >> You perform a great public service. >> It just right that got it all want to say that but this credit he did because it was a great public service.

Do you have a reason you have a closed mind? I don't know why. Perhaps you could tell me. No, Mr. Trump, I have a closed mind against evidence that is not substantiated. I have a closed mind against statements that are made about other people in general. You're going to be very embarrassed in two years, sir. I told you, why don't you go on a radio show and you say, "Now some drunken Indians want to come down here and open a residence." I didn't say that, sir. Quote it. I didn't say that. Who said that? Who said that? You can apology right now because I didn't say that. I must open a broadcast so, excuse me, Mr. I must said that. Okay. Could I please have an apology? You can have an apology. Thank you, sir.
