    Mr. President, you you. Thank you very

    much. We've had some pretty good news coming out of Russia. We're

    hearing good things. Who knows? We're hearing good things. They're in a very strong position militarily, with quite a few Ukrainian soldiers, but hopefully nothing will happen with that. I've asked them not to let anything happen, and I think I hope that nothing happens, but I feel that Russia is going to take a deal with us. I hope we've spoken with President Putin, we've spoken with a lot of people, and Ukraine is waiting. I'm very concerned about the field. In the field, there's a very vulnerable group of Ukrainian soldiers right now that are actually surrounded, and that's not good, because we don't want them to die. Enough people have died, so we'll see what happens with regard to all of it. But I'm getting from the standpoint about it, he's fired, ultimately, a deal. Some pretty good vibes coming out of Russia. Any questions, Mr. President, Mr. President, what do you think about the Senate vote on the CR what was the vote? They just voted to advance it? What they just voted to advance it? I mean, I was told that that was what was going to happen, very good. And I appreciate Senator Schumer, and I think he did the right thing, really. I'm very impressed by that,

    Mr. President, you're concerned

    about the situation in COVID. What are the hopes now? She

    just made television

    tonight. She just became a big story

    tonight,

    right? Yes, sir, the situation. What is your hope now for a hostage release

    that? Well, I hope that it all works out. You're talking about Israel, though, right? We're very much into negotiations with regard to the hostages in Israel, and we're going to have to see what happens. We'll see what happens. Hopefully it'll work out very complex situation. There's tremendous hatred at levels that nobody's ever seen before.

    So walk us through the tariffs and why it will be financially beneficial for America, we know the Australians will not do reciprocal tariffs, but can you walk us through this whole process and how it will bring wealth back to the United States?

    What will bring tremendous wealth back? And it was tariffs used in reverse that really brought our country to a position that we don't ever want to be in again. And when somebody is treating us badly, we're going to put tariffs on. They're going to be very fair. They're going to be fair, and they're difficult, and our country is going to come back very, very strong. I think our country is going to come roaring back. The tariffs are a big deal, and frankly, that's how China does it. That's how a lot of other people do it, and we do it better than them, but we never had a president that knew how to do it. Thank you very much, everybody. Thank you, sir.
