And we'll maybe discuss a couple of general topics.

This is a board meeting for the Trump Kennedy Center.

But we'll go into a couple of other things that we have the media present, it's always present, unfortunately, constantly.

And I'll say a few words about what's happening in the Middle East.

And if you have a couple of questions, we'll do that and then we'll get on with our board meeting.

We have a wonderful group of very, very smart, talented patriots at this table.

Our powerful military campaign to end the threats posed by the Iranian regime continued in full force over the past few days.

They're war fighting ships, but I guess they didn't know how to use them.

Their radar is gone and their leaders are gone.

Other than that, they're doing quite well.

And now I guess the world through the United States, with the help of Israel is doing what should have been done many years ago.

Since the beginning of the conflict, we've struck more than 7,000 targets across Iran.

And these have been mostly commercial and military targets.

We've achieved a 90% reduction in their ballistic missile launches and a 95% reduction in drone attacks.

The missiles are trickling in now at very low levels because they don't have too many missiles left.

We've also attacked the manufacturing plants where the places where they manufacture the missiles and the drones.

We just hit three of them today, getting very hard for them to manufacture.

More than 100 Iranian naval vessels have been sunk or destroyed over the last week and a half.

Additional strikes continue to launch from all directions every single hour.

And as you know, we attacked Cargill island and knocked it, knocked it literally destroyed everything on the island except for the area where the oil is.

We didn't want to do that, but that, we will do that.

But for purposes of someday rebuilding that country, I guess we did the right thing.

And the pipes will be gone too, but it'll take a long time to rebuild that.

We are aggressively dismantling Iran's defense industrial base and ability to rebuild its missiles and drone capability is getting down to close to zero.

And we're hammering their capacity to threaten commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.

With more than 30 mine laying ships destroyed, we hit to the best of our knowledge, all of their minelaying ships.

Now they can put them on other types of ships, I guess and drop them in.

But we don't know that any have even been dropped in.

But we don't know that they have dropped any in.

But we've, we've hit all 30 of their ships and destroyed them.

We strongly encourage other nations whose economies depend on this rate far more than ours.

And we get less than 1% of our oil from this rate.

Many of the Europeans get quite a, quite a bit.

So we want them to come and help us with the straight.

The countries I said we've already taken care of Iran, but

now because of the fact that literally a single terrorist can put something in the water or shoot something or shoot a missile, a small missile, and

it's fairly close range because it is a tight area and which is one of the reasons they've always used that as a weapon.

Iran has always used that as an economic weapon and it's not going to be able to be used very long.

Numerous countries have told me they're on the way.

Some are very enthusiastic about it and some are, and

some are countries that we've helped for many, many years.

We've protected them from horrible outside sources and they weren't that enthusiastic.

And the level of enthusiasm matters to me.

We have some countries where we have 45,000 soldiers, great soldiers, protecting them from harm's way.

And we want to know, do you have any minesweepers?

Well, would rather not get involved, sir.

I said for, you mean for 40 years we're protecting you and you don't want to get involved in something that is very minor, very few shots going to be taken because they don't have many shots left.

But they said we'd rather not get involved I just want the fake news media and everybody else to remember that that was said because when, you know, I've been a big critic of all of the protecting of countries because I know that we'll protect them and if ever needed, if we ever needed help, they won't be there for us.

I've just known that for a long period of time, just like I knew about the Strait, that it would be a weapon, which I predicted a long time ago, predicted all of this stuff.

I predicted Osama bin Laden would knock out the World Trade Center.

I made that prediction a year before he did.

I said, you better get him, he's a bad guy.

I watched him be interviewed one time and I said that's a bad guy, you better get him.

You can even check about a year before the World Trade center came down, President Clinton actually had a shot at him and he didn't take it.

Unfortunately, I'm not blaming him for that, but

he didn't take it and he ended up knocking down the World Trade Center.

We strongly encourage other nations whose economies depend on the Strait for blood.

I mean, you know, these, these people literally need it.

90, 95% of their energy or their oil comes out of the Strait and they should be in here very happily helping us.
