00:00Mr. President, there's a report that you told donors that they need to get J.D. Vance elected
00:05in 2028. Is that your official endorsing? No, no. I heard about it a little while ago. I think
00:11he's great, but we're way too early to even be thinking about that. Okay? And then, Mr. President,
00:19Republicans are arguing a lot right now about affordability. What is your message on affordability
00:24going into the midterms? Well, that's a good question, but it's sort of simple to answer.
00:28I inherited the highest prices ever. I inherited the worst inflation in the history of our
00:34country, and we have done an amazing job. And oil prices now are coming down very rapidly.
00:42If you look at what's going on, it's down to 75. When I started the very important excursion
00:49into the Islamic Republic of Iran, it was a very important excursion because they can't
00:55have a nuclear weapon. Otherwise, the whole world would get blown up. We're not going
00:59to let that happen. Not only us, not only the Middle East. The whole world would have
01:03been, it would have been catastrophic. We had no choice. And we had oil down to less than
01:08two, in many places like Iowa. Oil was down to gasoline. It was down at numbers that people
01:14hadn't seen in years. $1.85, $1.95. I was in Iowa at a stop, and we had $1.95,
01:25another
01:25one, $1.85 a gallon. And we'll see those days pretty soon again, based on everything I see,
01:32as soon as the war ends. And I think it's going to end pretty soon. I don't think they can
01:38go
01:38much longer. Yeah, please. Hasn't you been reached to reopen the Strait of Hormones?
01:43Well, I don't want to say it has been. It's sort of open right now. You know, we have a
01:47thing called the blockade headed up by the U.S. Navy, and we control it. And now we control
01:54it, but they can always shoot something. They always have something or drop a mine. And if
01:58you have one mine sitting out there, you sort of mess things up because people don't want
02:03to take their billion dollar boats and accidentally get hit by a mine. But I think we're doing
02:09very well. I just, you know, I'm involved in the negotiation. I think we're doing fine.
