00:00Right. And Johnny, did you want to say something?
00:02Yes, one more thing, because as you rightly say, you know, with security and beautifying cities and the whole country,
00:10we want people to come and enjoy and have fun.
00:13And that's why this is not just the most iconic trophy in the world of sport,
00:18but we start on the 10th of September the sale of tickets for the FIFA World Cup.
00:26And we have the first ticket here for the final.
00:28For you, it's, of course, row one, seed one, it's ticket number 4547.
00:39And it's for the final in New York, New Jersey.
00:43So you have your ticket already for the final.
00:46All the others, 10th of September, start getting your tickets.
00:50That's beautiful.
00:51Six and a half, seven million tickets.
00:53Fans will enjoy, will enjoy the security here.
00:56Will be fantastic.
00:56You're going to do record business, I think.
00:58100%.
00:58Christy, would you like to say something?
01:00Yeah, Mr. President, millions of people will come to this country and we'll make sure they get their travel documents,
01:05their visas, that they want to come here and spend their money and enjoy this sporting event.
01:09It'll be the largest event in the world.
01:12And, sir, you're reminding me of something that my dad used to say all the time when I was growing up.
01:16He would say, Christy, you kids need to look like you respect yourself before anybody's going to respect you.
01:22And in this country, when people look at our streets, when they look at our capital, you're bringing respect back to the city.
01:29And people will respect our country more because it's safe, it's clean, it's beautiful.
01:34And what you're doing is transforming this nation by making sure that our laws are upheld.
01:38And millions of people are going to come and be able to enjoy it next year, and I'm excited about that.
01:43Thank you for doing that.
01:43Well, our country is respected again.
01:46And a year ago, we had a dead country.
01:48I'm telling you, it was a dead country.
01:50It was a country that had lost its way.
01:53It was a country that was going to fail.
01:55Look even today where they say $4 trillion in reductions of deficits.
02:00And this was totally unexpected.
02:02They didn't expect it.
02:03I mean, I don't know where they've been, the people that do this stuff, but it's terrible.
02:07I wanted to thank Christy for another reason.
02:09And I said to her two weeks ago, I said, Christy, do me a favor.
02:11I built hundreds of miles of water.
02:18The first two years, you wouldn't have been able to see through.
02:24So I had Border Patrol in, and they tapped it.
02:31And we gave inside that is 9,000.
02:33This is rebar, a big, fat piece of rebar.
02:42Hard to cut, and you need different instruments to cut each one.
02:46And I said, Christy, we've got to get a coat of paint on it.
02:50And I didn't know she was listening.
02:52But I said, we've got to get a coat of paint, and it should be black,
02:56because black makes the steel very hot.
02:58It's untouchable.
03:00You could fry an egg on it.
03:01And if you've got a good black, flat paint, it would look beautiful.
03:05It will preserve it from rust.
03:07And that was it.
03:08And I gave it to her, along with 30 other things.
03:12Tom Holman and the group.
03:14Tom Holman's a fantastic guy, what the job he does.
03:18And he's painting the wall.
03:23And it looked beautiful, by the way, when that paint went over there.
03:26And it's hot.
03:27It's hot.
03:29It's hot.
03:30If it's white, it's not hot.
03:31If it's black, it's going to be very hard to climb, that sucker.
03:35It's not going to be easy.
03:37But it's black, and a high-quality black.
03:40You know, it really looked good.
03:41Yeah, we got the paint you told us.
03:41Is that going to be a two-coat job or a one coat?
03:43No, just one coat.
03:44One coat.
03:44We used the paint you told me to buy.
03:46Yep.
03:47The two-coat will take place in three years from now.
03:49We'll do the second coat.
03:50But it looks beautiful.
03:52But thank you very much.
03:52I didn't know you were listening to that.
03:54We talked about seven different subjects.
03:56And all of a sudden, I see you're out there painting with a lot of painters and everything else.
04:00But it was a beautiful thing to say.
04:02Would you like to say something?
04:04You've been such a big part of this.
04:05Please.
04:06Mr. President, we're delighted to be here today for this announcement.
04:09But we're also looking forward to having you at the final.
04:12Oh, yes.
04:12On July 19th in New York, New Jersey.
04:14We're going to be there.
04:15A lot of people are going to be there.
04:17A lot of people are going to be there.
04:18I'd like to thank you all.
04:20Do you have any questions?
