They wanted me while I was negotiating for you.
People, stupid people, wanted me to put sanctions on Russia.
If I would have put sanctions on Russia,
your sons would have said, that wasn't good.
The Russians laugh at us.
I think, you hear that?
They laugh at the sanctions.
They laugh at the sanctions.
He knows.
It brings disrespect on the country.
How would it have been? I'm speaking to President Putin.
I'd like to get Stephen Hubbard back, Mr. President.
And by the way, we're putting sanctions on you right now.
Can you imagine?
You would have been back.
You would have been back.
So, no, it was a great honor to get you out, really.
And it's a great family.
Hey, family, everybody.
This is a man who's a very special man.
And he suffered greatly.
But we were talking about it.
The
The level of hate was not nearly as much as we've heard
when we talked about Hamas and
some of the — because we got all of them out, we got all of them out.
Some dead, some alive, but we got all of them.
It was a tough thing.
But we talked about — this is Stephen Hubbard,
who has become a very well-known person.
In fact, you could run for office tomorrow, probably.
Right now you want to get a little rest.
But he came in from Russia, and he —
I think I can say that you
were treated reasonably well by some of the guards.
I think that's great. I think that's great.
And so, as you know, he was somebody I wanted
to get back. And I spoke to President Putin,
and they said, we'll let him come back.
We had a plane, and we arrived a couple of days ago,
and I know you've been treated very well.
I hope you've been treated very well.
Oh, of course.
But he's been through a lot. How many years?
How many years?
Four and a half.
Four and a half years. It's a long time. That's a long time.
I'm going to Florida. You want to come with me? I'm going.
I've got to do another rally in Florida,
and they have a big crowd right now in Florida.
Very big for you.
Huh?
They're waiting for me.
They're going to pay you one ride? I'll
give you a ride in an Air Force One?
And then we're going to Kansas, as you probably heard.
We're going to Kansas and Iowa on Sunday.
Tomorrow we're doing, on Saturday, we're doing a lot of teletown halls.
But we'll be in Kansas.
We want to make sure we win Kansas.
We want to make sure we win Iowa.
We should do that.
But I just think it's an honor to have you
and your family in the understanding right,
by coincidence, standing right here.
I didn't do that on purpose.
Standing right in front of the Declaration of Independence,
which is, that's the real deal, right?
That's the real deal.
It's a great honor to have you.
Our country is great.
Yeah, well, we do.
We have great military.
Our country is the strongest it's ever been, in my opinion.
Thanks to you.
Well, thank you very much.
It was really an honor to help.
It was just spur of the moment.
I said, do me a favor.
Will you let Steve, Stephen Hubbard.
Let them out, and they were very nice in that regard, so it's great.
You weren't upset with that.
When you found out about
your father coming back, what was your feeling?
Well, to be honest with you, I...
given up most hope and then
so you think he would never you'd never see him again no because there
was some talk back in 2025 and then that dwindled down
and so that's when they released another
group of people and and he wasn't in the group
and i even lost a little hope but yeah when we got the
word we were happy that's good did you know
when did you know after i spoke with president putin
We were working on it. Back channels.
Yeah, right. How about you? Well, the State
Department's behind people. They kept you in touch.
They didn't tell us what exactly
was happening, but they told me to pack my stuff.
Be ready. Well, we did it at the
highest level, that I can tell you, and we're very happy.
And he's a very, and we
were talking with Steven and the family, these are very nice people.
Very, very nice people.
Would you have any questions?
And then we're going to Florida right as some of you are going.
How's it going?
Would you have any questions?
Yeah.
Mr. President, there are other Americans who are still in Russia
who are being detained there in similar conditions to those in Harvard.
Can you say there's a strategy to get all of them?
We're going to be working on them.
This was one that seemed to have caught a lot of imagination.
A lot of people thought it was just a bad situation.
And we do, you have, could be eight,
could be maybe different numbers, I'm hearing different numbers,
but seems to be eight, and we're working on them also.
Do you know any of the other people that were in?
I don't know any.
So you were very much...
I was isolated from all of the foreigners.
They actually had them on the front,
where the fighting is, a lot of the fighting.
So you saw what was happening with all of them?
No, I didn't.
Initially, initially.
Initially.
I was under artillery fire with the Russians.
That's amazing.
They tend to forget about me.
They're all scrambling to try and save their lives.
It's nasty stuff, right?
Yes.
It's not like the...
So they scrambled and they just left you, but you...
Yeah, they forgot about me during that time.
I was scrambling too with them.
That's amazing.
No, it's amazing.
I guess they got along a little bit.
That's impressive.
Any questions?
It's an honor to have you back.
It's a great honor, and we're going to speak to them
for a couple of minutes, and we'll see you guys at the plane.
Are you going to Iowa? You mean you're not? She came from Iowa.
That's where I met her first, right? A long time ago.
Because I know that you have said you want to.
So I wanted to see if I could do tele-rallies
because I'm very successful with, you know, with batting.
THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES IS A GREAT INSTRUMENT.
IT ONLY SEEMS TO WORK FOR ME BECAUSE OTHER PEOPLE CALL AND
NOBODY GETS ON THE PHONE.
AND I GOT A CALL FROM BOTH STATES, KANSAS AND IOWA.
WE'RE IN GOOD SHAPE, I THINK, IN A LOT OF STATES.
WE HAD A GREAT RALLY YESTERDAY, AS YOU KNOW, FOR DARLENE, SOUTH
CAROLINA.
BUT I GOT A CALL FROM IOWA AND FROM THE PEOPLE AND FROM MY
FRIENDS THAT ARE VERY, VERY GOOD.
And we have a couple of races that are very important.
And they said, if you could go, it would be better than a teller rally.
And I tried to talk about that.
I said, what about a teller rally?
But they asked me.
So I'm going to do two on Sunday.
And I was a little bit concerned about Saturday
because it's a college football.
It's Iowa.
It's Kansas.
But so I'm going to leave early in the morning on Sunday,
and we're going to do Iowa first, I believe,
and then we go to Kansas from there, and then we come back.
And then on Monday, we'll do some – quite a few – a tele-rally.
These are telephonic rallies.
They're fantastic, actually.
And we're going to do a lot of them for a lot of Congress people,
and we're going to see if we can – you know,
the people – one of them – you see the people there.
It's amazing.
The crowds have been unbelievable.
The biggest crowds anyone's ever seen.
The biggest crowds for midterms by thousands of people.
If you look at Florida, I don't know
if you see what's going on down there.
They're waiting for me now.
See, I'm supposed to be down there, but I wanted to wait.
I wanted to wait for Stephen, to be honest with you.
No, I wanted to wait for you.
So we're doing it for Byron, Donalds, and the whole group, Ashley.
But Monday is going to be exciting,
but Sunday is going to be a very exciting day.
Okay, and then Tuesday.
We're going to see how it all works out.
I think we're doing well.
Typically, a president, whether he's good or bad,
Republican or Democrat, loses the midterms.
Nobody's ever explained why.
But I think we have a shot at doing well.
Maybe very well, but, you know, pretty well.
On the Binance app.
Should we attribute it to that North Korean hacker group?
We don't know. We're looking at that. The hack with...
We're looking at that.
And do you think any of that money will be clawed back?
Well, they say they're going to get it back.
And they're saying they're guaranteeing it or something.
They are.
But no, it was a hack.
That's the problem.
You know the old-fashioned way when you used to sign a check?
Yeah, take it out.
These are different. People never see the money anymore.
So I've always felt it was a little bit dangerous.
But, no, they say they have it pretty much under control. We'll see.
On Iran, do you see more talks that are happening?
There are talks. They want to talk. They keep talking.
But, look, they're not paying their soldiers.
They're not paying their police.
You know, they're in a lot of trouble.
And we have time, frankly.
You know, it's a war, but it's not a typical war.
We've been there for seven months.
We're spending very little money, relatively speaking.
I heard somebody say, you're spending money.
I said, well, any money we spent, we've more than made up
for in a place called Venezuela, like by 10 times.
And I watched this guy, Ro Khanna, who's a lightweight,
and he was saying that President Trump is spending a lot of money.
Well, I spent a lot of money in order to get rid
of a nuclear weapon, which we have done.
but any money we've spent in Iran we've more than made up
for with what we did in Venezuela
taking in hundreds of billions of dollars many many times
but they don't mention these things
so that's why I like to have news conferences I can mention
when other people forget they also
said it was terrible that they attacked the house of Ilhan Omar
which is not her real name
it was terrible that they would attack her well they attacked my house
and nobody brought that up
They attacked a place called Mar-a-Lago. Nobody brought it up.
You know, I'm sitting there, I'm watching the good people.
And is that a helicopter?
Oh, do you want to see a nice helicopter?
How do you like the helipad?
See, that's landing right now.
I'm going to have a helicopter.
Because of Halloween,
we had to take a very long drive for the last four days,
getting it ready.
So now we have a helicopter.
Go ahead, please.
Yeah, not lifting or not doing anything.
You know, I was very happy.
They wanted me while I was negotiating for you.
People, stupid people, wanted me to put sanctions on Russia.
If I would have put sanctions on Russia,
your sons would have said, that wasn't good.
The Russians laugh at me.
I think, you hear that?
They laugh at the sanctions.
He does.
He brings disrespect on me.
How would it have been? I'm speaking to President Putin.
I'd like to get Stephen Hubbard back, Mr. President.
And by the way, we're putting sanctions on you right now.
Can you imagine?
You would have been back.
You would have been back.
So, no, it was a great honor to get you out, really.
And it's a great family.
Please, General.
I had heard it many times before,
and I reached the state where seeing is believing.
Actions speak louder than words.
I never trusted what they said,
only when they started giving me new clothes and leading me
to the exit of the prison.
I went out and I saw the car and I was accompanied by a couple of
Russians. Then I believed, I finally believed,
you know, I'm on the drive from Moscow to St.
Petersburg. I'm really going somewhere.
Did you think you'd be there for many years? Yeah. Many,
and you thought your father would be there for many years?
I was afraid that we were
We were going to lose them there.
I wouldn't have lasted another year.
You look very healthy to me.
You have no weight problem.
He looks very good.
He's been bulking up on the protein.
Anyway, thank you very much everybody.
We'll see you in a little while.
