corner of wall and broad today, an initial public offering called "snowflake." it's an online database provider up in the cloud but it had returns today that were nothing short of setting dumb extending. a debut that made it the best software opening ever. >> hello, everybody. i am jesse watters along with juan williams, dana perino, greg got field, and katie pavlich. 5:00 in new york city, and this is "the five." ♪ a huge hour of news coming your way. president trump will be out soon for a news conference live from the white house. while we wait for that to start, the countdown to election day is on. you know what that means. the media is ramping up their rhetoric. president trump was delivering historic mideast peace deals between israel, the uae, and bahrain, members of the press were quick to downplay at every

turn. >> is andrea mitchell reports, a broader mideast peace is still an elusive goal. >> today's agreements open the door for trade, travel, and tourism, but it is not middle east peace. left out, the palestinians. >> but it's more of a business deal than a peace accord. the three countries are not engaged in armed conflict. >> come prince of peace across the entire region. >> president trump proclaiming this a peace agreement, but the countries were not at war. left out of the deal, the palestinians who call the agreement a betrayal. >> jesse: of course, cnn didn't care at all about the deal. instead, they focused on this. >> today's ceremony showcased the president's continued defiance of the very coronavirus guidelines his white house recommends. >> there were hundreds of people gathered with little in the way of social distancing. >> hundreds of guests were packed on the south lawn with little social distancing and

optional masks. >> jesse: while all that is happening, the media and the democrats have also been hyping that trump won't leave office if he loses. but what happens if he wins? how could they accept the results with months of hair-on-fire reactions like this? >> if he loses, trump, he won't go. i've been saying that since before he got elected. >> you have so many rank and file military personnel saying, "well, we are not a military state. this is not who we are." i promise you, and i'm convinced, they will escort him from the white house. >> there is a process. it has nothing to do with that a certain occupant of the white house doesn't feel like moving it has to be fumigated out of there. >> jesse: juan, i want to cite a headline. before you stop me, i know it's a satirical publication, but i think it really nails what's going on here. here's the headline. this is kind of making fun of cnn. "media criticizes trump for ignoring social distancing

guidelines while saving baby from oncoming train." [laughter] do you see the kind of snark we are talking about with cnn? announcing this big peace deal, and all of these heavy hitters that probably get tested daily or weekly are gathered around the white house to make peace. don't you see that's really not the story? >> juan: well, okay, but i've got to help you with your reading selections there, jesse. >> jesse: [laughs] >> juan: i want to do a little show and tell. to me, here's what my experience was this morning as i woke up and went to the doorstep, looking rather shabby. here's what i saw. here's "the wall street journal" this morning, and "the wall street journal"'s top picture, top story, about the israeli deal. oh, my gosh, and then i picked up "the washington post," and look, it's the top story. it's a big headline, jesse. oh, my gosh! but, you know, jesse -- >> jesse: i'm not saying --

>> juan: lu, jesse, my gosh! "the new york times," the top story! >> jesse: i'm not saying they ignored it, i'm saying they spend it negative. didn't you hear the montage at the top? >> juan: yes, but i'm telling you, jesse, they all paid attention to this and what it means to the middle east. it seems to me that the media didn't downplay this. it seems to me -- i forget the name of your source, but it seems to me the conservative echo chamber is playing up and nitpicking anything that talks about social distance and the need for it, and mask-wearing in the age of coronavirus. i think that's what's going on. it's not that anybody is ignoring the deal that was made by the president. >> jesse: okay, well, i didn't say ignoring, i said they were spinning it negatively. greg, you've been talking a lot about the left wing preparing for violence. whatever happens after the election. you are right, i hate to admit it, because i found that article in "the daily beast" that says the left is preparing for violence.

they say there is training for civil disobedience and mass public unrest. to occupy stuff and shut >> i am prepared for the worst because i have seen the worst and it will get worst. when there were riots they called them mostly peaceful. then you see a break through in peace and they don't call it mostly peaceful. the media is gas lithe the united states with everything literally gas lithe. -- lighting. you raise the question that some of the wildfires in oregon were started by people. the media mocked you. no, no, no, that's a far right conspiracy that lurks in the world. there are two arrests now of

arsonists setting fires in oregon. you were told what you see with your own eyes doesn't exist. the reason why the media is denying this as a peace deal. this is actually a great thing. you have to admit it's a great thing. but they can't do it. they are crumbling into this denial. the orange godzilla hitler is not orange godzilla hitler after all. they spent 4 years trying to brain wash the public to think this man is evil so they deserve to feel terrible and have their hair on fire. they have been wrong on so many things. if i listed them, we would be here until 2024 when trump begins his third term. >> [laughing]. >> don't scare the left too much. katie, one of the criticisms now

is that this is not really a peace deal because these countries were not at war with each other. that misses the point. there is a sunni and israeli alliance against the iranians who were responsible for the violence in the middle east and that's a good thing. >> the argument this is not a peace deal is detached from reality of the way that every arab country minus egypt with normalization would condemn everything that israel the main issue in the media and the arab world was the palestinian issue. that's no longer the case. this deal allows the united states to be less involved in the middle east and more intelligence sharing on terrorism. so there is less radical terrorism and brings new allies to the table in the fight

against iran. when the media refuses to report what happened here and call it a peace agreement, they do it for a couple of reasons. first they have been wrong. all of the articles were about jared kushner should not broker a deal on middle east peace because he had no experience. he did with it business and intelligence sharing and got it done. there will be more. what that does to people who are focussed on the israeli and palestinian issues in d.c., it embarrasses them. this is about bigger issues in the middle east. when the media focuses on the palestinians not being at the table. do you know what the palestinian terrorists did yesterday? they were launching rockets from gaza into israel which is why they were not at the table for this deal.

>> take a swing at the coverage of peace deal or the conspiracy theory about trump refusing to leave the white house. we covered the peace deal. for the democrats i would look at the battleground states and spend time to figure out how joe biden can win rather than planning what to do if he loses. that would be time better spent as the races are tightening up. >> yes. they could probably do better organizing voters than protestors. coming up joe biden blasts trump and says you can't trust him on covid-19. the president will respond minutes from now. >> tech: at safelite, we're committed to taking care of you and your car. >> tech: we'll fix it right with no-contact service you can trust.

>> tech: so if you have auto glass damage, stay safe with safelite. >> singers: ♪ safelite repair, safelite replace. ♪

young slick campaign consultants. he pandered. president trump would never do something like this. the advisors to the president wish he pandered a little bit more. >> yes. >> instead of insulting large group of people. trump says whatever he wants because he believes in the message. his song classic rock from the '80s and 90s and they play on a loop. he doesn't change the music up. he would never listen to a guy telling him to do this. sometimes people say this is cute that joe biden does this. they find it endearing because joe biden is like the old guy who will do the young kids tell him to do. >> [laughing]. dana, i don't know. i can't get too upset about this. it makes me think that if he wins we will have a lot of good content for "the five."

>> [laughing]. we said that about hillary clinton too. we had plenty of good material on all sorts of things. i don't think this was exactly comparable to dukakis in a tank but it's close. because we don't have any traditional campaigning and he doesn't go out much and do things, it might be it. this might be the moment you look back on and say that's what happened. >> are we going over to donald trump now? >> it looks like it's going to be mostly safe but just follow the instructions of all of your local and federal people there. we have the best people you can have. i want to thank everybody for working so hard in florida. they are very good at this. the people in florida handle it. they know how to handle it. the people working there know how to handle it. the governors have all been spoken to.

it's a combination of real spirit and they have a tremendous sense of working on hurricanes. they have gotten very good at is. since i have been here we have had a lot of them. hurl. hurricanes sally. we will talk about big-10 football. but today we announced a plan to deliver the vaccine to america's senior citizens in nursing homes. it's all set. we have the military lined up. everybody is lined up. we think that will go nicely. we are very close to that vaccine as you know. i think closer than most people want to say or than most people understand. to get the vaccine into the hands of the american people we

are mobilizing the power of american industry and our military. this is the largest and most advanced vaccine distribution in american history. i read that biden said he will have a plan. they did so bad on swine flu, you would not believe it. look at it. the person heading it up said it was disaster. weer track to deliver and distribute the vaccine in a safe and effective manner. we think we can start sometime in october. as soon as it is announced, we will be able to start. that will be from mid-october on. it may be a little later than that. we will be all set. as soon as it's given the go ahead and they are doing trials, we will get it out to defeat the virus. we manufactured all of the necessary supplies so as soon as the fda approves the vaccine and

we are very close to that, we will distribute at least 100 million vaccine doses by the end of 2020 and a large number much sooner than that. i am calling on biden to stop promoting his anti-vaccine theories. all they are doing is hurting the importance what have we are doing. i know if they were in this position, they would be saying how wonderful it is. they are recklessly endangering lives. you can't do that. again, this is really a case that they are only talking negatively. that's because they know we have it or will soon have it. the answer is very soon. the case updates, it's interesting. the test positive rate fell below 5% for the first time since this whole nightmare of

the china virus began. the number of hospitalized patients decreased by 43-% by mid july. people with the china virus makeum only 1.5% of all emergency visits. down to the lowest number.make up only 1.5% of all emergency visits. down to the lowest number. thanks to our life saving treatments, the fatality rate has fallen 85% since april. if you look at what we have done and all of the lives we save, i will ask that a graph be put up. this was our prediction, if we do a good job we would be at

100,000 to 240,000 deaths. we are below that. that was if we did a good job. if not so good 1.5-million and 2.two million. that's quite a difference.2 mil. that's quite a difference. the blue states had tremendous death rates. if you take the blue states deaths out we are at a level i don't think anybody in the world would be at. at a very low level. blue states, we recommend they open up their states. that's very important. if you look at certain of them, north carolina, pennsylvania and michigan, and a couple of others, we have to get those states open. it's hurting people far more

than the disease itself. we would recommend that you open them and let your people have freedom. it's unfair to your people to keep them close. we know the vaccines are coming and we know the problem. we understand who the vulnerable are, people with medical problems and that are older. open up your states. to facilitate testing of the nursing homes we delivered rapid testing devices to 13,855 certified nurse nursing homes nationwide. we have new tests come. one in particular i showed last night.

which is literally two pieces of fine cardboard. a lot of delicate things going on inside the cardboard. it's quick and accurate. it moves along rapidly. we bought millions of those tests. they will be distributed rapidly. the testing process, nobody in the world has a testing process like ours. in addition to being number 1 and number 2, india, close to 50 million tests behind us, i believe. scott? they have 1.5 million people. tomorrow vice-president pence will announce the findings of the nursing home commission to continue protecting our most vulnerable which is our senior citizens. we will take good care of them. i want to congratulate big-10 football. it's back. i thank commissioner kevin

warren for the great job he did. we have been working with him for a while. there was a rumor being spread that i didn't want football back. that was just the opposite. that was a rumor put out by the biden campaign. that spurred me into action. i called the commissioner and we started pushing pressure on because there was though reason for it not to come back. kevin worked very hard. i want to thank the players, the coaches for working along. they wanted it badly. the players and coaches in particular. the parents also. and big-10 football just announced their schedule. it will be great. i want to recommend that the pac-12 get going. there is no reason they should not be playing. perhaps they will start partially. i recommended to kevin and others start off with 25% of the

stadium or start off with it empty. i don't know. i think they could have fans go, frankly. they want to be safe and they will be safe. they have a good testing process for the players, coaches, and families. i want to congrate -- congratulate big-10. pac-12 you are the only one. you have time. you have time right now. get going. i want to thank all of those wonderful coaches. some of whom i spoke with. we went through a process over the last couple of weeks. i want to thank congressman gonzalez of ohio who was a great football player. some people know that. i know that, but anthony was

a great receiver. went to the nfl. i want to thank tim of my staff. he worked very hard on this. he was up day and night working with kevin and everybody else. a great job. big-10 is back. it will hopefully have a great season. the census found in the second quarter of 2020 hispanic homeownership reached a record all time high in the history of our country. the median income increased to a record of $68,700. in 2019 income inequality fell for the soaked straight year. the enemy gap widened under the obama and biden administration.

in 2019, 4.2 million americans were lifted out of poverty. that's the largest poverty reduction under any president in history. 4.2 million americans were lifted out of poverty. the hispanic-american poverty rate reached the lowest level ever in the history of our country. i created the greatest and fairest economy. we will be back to full strength very soon. we will have a fantastic year next year. you will have an incredible third quarter. the numbers are looking very, very strong for the third quarter. we have numbers that we will put out tomorrow. some of the individual things.

car production, housing production and housing ownership. so many different things are at levels nobody thought possible as we round the turn on the pandemic. the anti-police crusade from the democrats and the radical left has to stop. the left wing war on cops puts our officers in danger and our communities at very grave risk. we can't do this. biden described the police as the enemy. they are not the enemy. they are our friend. they are helping us. if you go to -- i just saw a poll that just came out or recently came out. where african-americans by 84% wanted more police. they want safe neighborhood. in phoenix last night a federal officer was gunned down. in l.a. everybody saw that.

this horrible human being or whatever you might want to call him. they are trying to find him. we will get him. if l.a. this weekend, two sheriffs deputies were ambushed and viciously shot. they will never be the same. they are getting better but will never be the same. i standby our heroes of law enforcement. we want to stop this horrible rhetoric fast. i want to ask scott atlas to say a couple of words. i heard biden talking today about he wants to come up with a distribution plan for the vaccine that we came up with. we came up with that vaccine, it will be announced fairly soon this month or next month, in a level of time that nobody thought was possible because of what we did with our fda in terms of stream lining it.

i thank dr. hahn. what we did with the stream lining was incredible and very safely. number 1 is safety and number 2 is speed. we did this for more than the vaccine having to do with the cairhina virus. so many other drugs we moved the schedule up a lot. if there were obama and biden this would take two or three years before you are at the stage where we are at. it will be very soon. it's fun toe watch joe biden getting up and reading a teleprompter to say how he would have done this.ny to watc getting up and reading a teleprompter to say how he would have done this. they had the swine flu and it

was a disaster. the person who ran it said the worst things about him. they didn't know what they were doing. they had no clue. that was easy compared to this. this is the most contagious flu or virus that has been as seen. this is unbelievable how contagious it is. you found that out. i watched biden quickly as he discussed without knowing a thing about a distribution plan. he said that we don't have a distribution plan. but we do indeed. our military, we have military, we have everybody involved. it's a great plan. it's a plan like no other. we can start doing it, i believe, the day we come up with the vaccine when it is done. we will start that same day or the day after. our military is very much involved. they deploy troops.

these are generals that do logistics. they will have it across the country and we will ultimately help the world with the vaccine. it's very exciting. i will ask scott atlas to come up and describe that and the distribution plan in particular. biden act the as though there was no distribution plan. we have been working on this for months. it's ready and scott took ahold of it and has done an incredible job. please, scott. >> thank you, mr. president. i didn't develop the plan. i am just relaying information here. this is a 57 page document sent to every state today. there is a different part of this that was given to congress today. it was released by hhs. i thought it was covered by the

media so i don't think it was a surprised. it's a public and private partnership to get everything done. tracing the first dose because some vaccines will be two doses. there is tailoring and administration of the vaccine plan that will be done in over 51,000 outlets with particular attention to minority areas. over 14,000 federally qualified health centers. within the first 24 hours of the fda approval under emergency use, we will have vaccine being delivered within the first 24 hours. it will be done at no cost to americans. and the terms of the dosage, there will be -- it is anticipated no later than

january all of the top priority people will have received the vaccine. that's the general priority done for all vaccines developed in a pandemic setting, it goes to the high risk people with underlying conditions as well as first responders and people working directly in health care. that will be done very rapidly. >> good, thank you. >> go ahead. >> mr. president, earlier today dr. redfield said november or december the first doses will be distributed. then he said the vaccine for the general public won't be available until next summer or early fall? are you comfortable with that? >> no, i think he made a mistake when he said that. that's just incorrect information. i called him.

he didn't tell me that. relefodfiel redfield. no, we are ready to go. it could be announced in october or a little after that. once we go, we are ready. pfizer is taking a tremendous financial risk and spending billion dollars on actually making this vaccine. they are in a stage where they are actually making it because they feel confident as to the results. they will announce the results fairly soon. that's incorrect information. >> he was pretty clear? >> but i don't think he means that. when he said it, i believe he was confused. i am just telling you we are ready to go as soon as the vaccine happens. >> what do you want to see it available? >> we will start distributing it immediately.

>> to the general public? >> immediately. when we go we go. we are not saying in 6 months we will give it to the general public. that was an incorrect statement. i said what do you mean by that? i think he just made a mistake. i think he misunderstood the question. >> so a timeline when every person in america can get the vaccine when would that be? >> very soon. we engaged the military. we have a general in charge of delivering soldiers. he is fantastic at what he. you can't hire a company like that. we look to distribution immediately after we get the word it's goods. they are having tremendous success in the vaccine itself. i think the results will be

early and strong. the safety has to be 100%. we will insist on that. and the companies will insist on that also. >> january, february, or march? >> scott? >> as i said the high priority people no later than january. it depends on when things are approved. then we anticipate there will be 700 million doses by the end of q1. >> the end of march, right? >> it's one thing to have the doses. public health experts say this is happening in the winter and you have social distance. you can't have packed lines or auditoriums. that's one thing.

another thing they are worried about is storing these vaccine. since we don't know which one is the winner, doctor offices may not have dry ice. can you overcome all of that in 3 months? >> yes, i have been briefed on the vaccine. everything will be in place for them. there is a detailed plan that started months ago. you are welcome to read it on the web. yes, all of those things are not a problem really. if people know how to shop for groceries or sit in restaurants and usual social distancing they can do it for vaccines. >> you also have more than one company. you have johnson and johnson and pfizer and others. we could have vaccines being given out by numerous companies and they are all world class companies. they are fantastic companies.

that could happen also. >> mr. president, are you p prepared to sign off on the tiktok deal? >> i have to see the deal. we need security after what we have seen with respect to china and what is going on. i will let you know. they will report to me tomorrow morning. we will let you know. >> what about the payments to the treasury? >> well, we will see about that. amazin amazi amazingly, you are not allowed to do that. there is no way of doing that from -- there is no legal path to do that. wait a minute, they are willing to make a big payment to the government and we are not allowed to take their money?

how foolish can we be. we are looking into that. i want a big chunk of that money to go to the united states government because we made it public. -- possible. the lawyers say there is no way of doing that because nobody said we will approve the deal but we want a lot of money to go to the government. because we are making the deal valuable. they had never heard of that before. okay? can you believe that? right. >> tiktok, you said earlier it was important to you that a u.s. company buy tiktok. according to the proposal, we would have a minority stake. >> we are looking into that from the standpoint. i don't like that. that hasn't been told to me yet. that has been reported but not told to me.

it could be accurate reporting for a change. if that's the case i won't be happy with that. assuming that's china and i think it is. >> [muffled audio]. >> [inaudible]. [muffled audio]. >> yes, if it's a violent demonstration we will put it down quickly. i think the american public wants to see that. >> yes? >> thank you, mr. president. >> if there is any kind of demonstration or violence, there will be nothing that interferes with this vote. there will be nothing. the biggest problem we have right now are the ballots. millions of ballots going out.

that's the biggest problem. when you talk about other countries, china, russia or many anothers they for a much better position with paper ballots to do something than they would be under the old system. that's our biggest problem. our biggest threat to this election is governors from opposing parties controlling ballots, millions of ballots. that's a much bigger threat than foreign countries. much of the stuff coming out about foreign countries turned out to be untrue. what is true is that many election visit taken place over the last year and a half using this ballots system. they have been off by 5, 10, or 15%. i read one at 40%. these are small easy to control elections. this whole ballots system where you can send it and it's nottine requested, we are not talking about it's solicited. unsolicited ballots and sent in.

it's very dangerous for our country. do you know who knows that better than anybody? the democrats. look what happened in manhattan where they had this kind of election. it was so fraudulent. it should have never been allowed to be called. we could have 20% off or more than that. the ballots will be stolen. who knows where they are going or coming from. it's not just the counting of the ballots, which will take forever. you think november 3rd, at a certain point it goes to cong. -- cong. congress. this is a disgrace. they know there will be fraud all over the place. who getting and who is sending the ballots? people say you don't need to verify signature? this is a serious threat to our

democracy and the democrats know that. if you solicit the ballot because you can't be there. i am doing that myself. i won't be able to get in florida. do you it and you send it back. that's a process that you go through. it's pretty secure. i use the word pretty secure. nothing is foolproof. what is close -- the most foolproof thing, the thing that really works is you go to the ballot box. covid-19 will be very low. it will be a very safe process. we did it during world war i and world war ii. the biggest threat to the election is the unsolicited

ballots sent out by the millions controlled by the governor of nevada who is very political. they tried to stop you from making a speech unsuccessfully. we had to move quickly. this same guy that tried to make you from making free speech outside and not inside. they forced us inside because of what they did. but outside. this is the guy that is controlling ballots. then you look at pennsylvania. you look at other places. it's a big threat. as far as china and russia and north korea and iran, who knows? they say all of these different places. they can make forgeries and the democrats know it is wrong and will be a disaster. take a look at what happened over the last year with the same kind of thing want except in

a small setting with very few ballots going out. that's much easier. not 53 to 80 million going out. a very small number. you know what happened? fraud like you have never seen. missing ballots. ballots that never showed up. ballots with no signatures. in the case of nevada they don't want verification of the signature. it's a disgrace. the hope for our nation it's before judges in pennsylvania and in nevada it's before judges and other places it's before federal judges. hopefully they will do what they did in pennsylvania. we have a great victory. open up your state. it's unconstitutional to close it. they closeed it for politicalerancy. -- priety split reasons. -- political reasons.

they want our numbers to be bad. but our numbers are so good with or without various states opening up. we had a big legal victory 3 days ago. a federal judge told them to open up their state. it's unconstitutional in the case of pennsylvania. now the big cases are on the cases on the unsolicited ballots. we will see what happens. >> [overlapping talking]. arch >> [inaudible]. what is your response to the chinese communist party spokespeople who say this is an out right lie and they don't have forced labor. number two, have allies expressed interest to stand with this administration against force labor? >> yes, we are very strong on

that. we are getting reports and will know what the story is and then we will take action one way or the other. >> the ruling against the united states over tariffs on china. should the u.s. remain part of the them? >> we just won a lawsuit. nobody sued before they came along or they lost them. now they have not been losing them. we are getting reports on the wto. it's never been good to us. the wto as far as i am concerned was created to suck money and jobs out of the united states to the benefit of china and other countries. that's my opinion. whether it was created or turned out to be that way. the world trade organization hasn't been good for the united states. it's been good for everybody

else. it was a method in my opinion of taking advantage of the united states. we will get back to you. >> you spoke with dr. redfield earlier and he made a mistake. >> i think he made a mistake. i was very surprised to hear it. it doesn't matter. what matters is we are all set to distribute immediately. as soon as that vaccine comes out that is safe and good and works whether it's pfizer or johnson and johnson or anybody else, we are ready to distribute it rapidly. as scott said and as our team knows, they are ready. that could be in october or november. i don't think it will be much later than that. i think it could be in october. we are ready to move. it will be a full distribution. >> you told him he made a mistake? >> no, i got the impression he didn't realize he said what he

might have said. i didn't see him say it. if that's what he said, it was a mistake. we are ready to distribute immediately to a vast section of our country and then beyond. because we want to help other countries. we are ready to distribute immediately. >> the timeline he gave saying it would not be ready for the general public until the middle of next year sounds like the one you offered? >> no, i said that everyone in high risk will have the dose no later than january. >> he was talking about the general public. >> we are focussed on high risk but we will focus also on the general public very much. our immediate aim is elderly people and elderly people with heart, diabetes problems. we will have it -- we are not looking at a small distribution program. we are looking at distributing

to the whole united states with an immediate focus of the elderly. under no circumstance will it be as late as the doctor said. but, i think that frankly, if he analyzed it -- they hit him with that question. we are ready at a much faster level than he said. we will have rapid distribution. we are set up. our military and others are set up to do it. we think it could even start taking place in october. certainly during november and december would be the latest. based on what we are hearing, the results are very good. >> you told bob woodard the problem with the vaccine is it will take 13 to 14 months because you have to test the vaccine. do you want to clarify that? >> no. that was a long time ago when i said that. we were not set up at that time.

>> how many months ago? >> his book is obsolete. i read it last night rapidly because it was boring. i said a lot of really good things. people like to turn it around. i said really good things in that book. as an example, he doesn't cover -- i told him what we are doing in the middle east in a different way. that's not covered in his book. the whole thing is not covered in his book. one thing i will say and i respect the press for this one which is interesting, we have been praised for the deal we made yesterday with israel and two very important countries in the middle east. uae in particular. it's a warrior country led by a great warrior and a man who is highly respected. if you take a look at that and bahrain and israel making a deal. we have at least 4 or 5 others

that want to come in. they would have come in yesterday. they are ready to trot. i think you will have a whole level of peace without blood all over the sand. nobody was shot or killed. killed hundreds of thousands of people in the middle east. i always say it's the bloodiest sand in the world. it didn't have to be that way. the single worst decision our country made was to go into the middle east. not only the millions of people killed and i include people on both sides. i will say it on both sides. such a horrible thing was done. such a horrible mistake was made. we are doing this a different way. we have those two countries. we have at least five we are negotiating with right now. you can only negotiate with so many. i think they will all come in. i think the palestinians will come in.

these are the people funding them. i stopped funding the palestinians early on because they were saying bad things about our country. we are giving them $750- million dollars a year and they say bad things. i stopped funding them. but they get funding by other rich countries. to them it's like a speck. it's nothing. now that these rich countries are part of the deal. you will see over a short period of time other countries will come. in saudi arabia will come in too. getting saudi arabia will be great. i think saudi arabia, this is my feeling, it's not based on knowledge other than a couple of conversations i had with the king, saudi arabia will come in too. you will end up with piece peace in the middle east and nobody thought it could be done this way. i went to very smart people.

i went to people in the middle east. they said you can never do it. now they say nobody thought of doing this. they thought you make the deal first with the palestinians. the resistance is some countries didn't want to do it unless the palestinians were there first. they were wrong. the people, our great representatives that have been doing this for 35 years telling me how to do it, but they all fauld. -- failed. in the clinton administration and obama administration. they were wrong and i guess i was right. let me finish this. when you see the countries that will become in a short period of time, all of the countries that will be coming in just like you saw bahrain yesterday and uae

and i can think of at least five that will be quick and easy. others will be quick and easy also once the five come in. you will have peace in the middle east. we want to get out. our soldiers are largely coming home. the endless wars, the ridiculous endless wars. if i withdraw our country from that horrible iran nuclear deal where president obama paid $150-billion dollars for nothing and gave 1.8-billion dollars in cash. that's more impressive than the 150-billion dollars paid normally. he gave all of these chips. we had these chips and he gave them all away and we got nothing. it was a short term deal. it would be practically expiring

now. it starts to expire now. there is no way we will let iran have nuclear weapons. >> [overlapping talking]. >> do you reverse what you told woodard about the vaccine? >> we stepped it up. this is what it is. we have been able to step it up very, very rapidly. i never thought we could have a vaccine as quickly as we did. i freed up the fda. dr. hahn has done a great job. they are ready to approve something. the other thing that is happening that is very different. you look at a couple like pfizer. a great company. one of the great companies of the world. johnson and zahns. -- johnson. they are all great. doing a lot of testing at a rapid rate. nobody has ever seen anything like it. they are in the third level of trial. you will see things that are amazing. when i made statements like

that, that's an old statement. i had no idea we would produce as well as we are producing but only because of what i have done in the fda and other things can we come up with numbers like that. we are lucky we don't have to. that was considered fast. this it was an administration from the past far beyond obama, it was other administrations also, you would not have a vaccine for 2.5 or 3 years. we will have one with at most a couple of months. >> coronavirus relief do you feel comfortable with what was put forward? >> yes, some republicans disagree. i like the larger number. i want to see people get money. it wasn't their fault that this happened. it was china's fault.
