On service members who died:
“ Well, we feel very badly, but you know those great people, those great patriots, were out there fighting that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. Iran has been very, very badly damaged. They've lost everything almost militarily. They've got very little left. They've got some missiles. They've got some drones. They've got some manufacturing ability, not much. We control the straight; they don't control anything. So we'll see what happens. But we hit them very hard again tonight, and we did that in honor of the probably three. It's probably three as opposed to two great patriots.”
On the Qatari Air Force 1 not having missile defense systems:
Well, it has it has a lot, and you know it has a lot of capability, but as I understand it, in about a month or so, they're going to send it to have it be maxed out. So they're going to be sending it, and they'll have it be maxed out. It'll take about a month.
On his conversion with PM Mark Carney:
“I told them. I mean, you got to stop these fires from coming in and you know poisoning our air. Our air has been poisoned. Have a good relationship with Mark Carney, but you know we got to stop the fires up there. If we can help them, we'll help them. But maybe they should pay us some damages or something, or we should do some tariffs.“
On his tension with Spain, seeing how they won the World Cup:
“No, I have no tension. I have no tension with anybody.”
Many thanks to co-poolers Danny Kemp and Trevor Hunnicutt for help transcribing.
