0:01Hello, you've reached Beijing.
0:03>> [music] >> For trade deals, press one.
0:06For soybeans, press two.
0:08For help with your Iran problem, please hold.
0:12>> [music] >> Your call is very important to us. She, pick up, pick up the phone. Donnie's on Air Force One, tired and alone. The war got heavy, [music] the deal fell through. America first, but first I need you.
0:25>> Monday morning, Air Force One on the runway. Gold tie straight, [singing] hair doing what it does on a Sunday.
0:30Packed his ego in the overhead bin.
0:32Didn't fit, tried twice, squeezed it in.
0:34Brought the crew along [music and singing] for the Beijing ride. Little Pete in the back trying to hide. The man who ran a war [music] from a studio screen, now sitting very quiet in the limousine. Little Marco up with the [music] folder and the pen.
0:45[singing] The man who ran against Donnie and lost and ran again. Now he's running errands for the man [music] who called [singing] him small. Little Marco, big title, very short. Oh, see the war was going to be easy, fast, clean, a weekend trip, a treat, [music] the victory seen.
0:58But the weekend got long [singing] and the price got tall and suddenly Donnie needs Beijing more than all.
1:04Pick up, pick up the phone. Donnie's on Air [music] Force One, tired [singing] and alone. The war got heavy, the deal fell through. America first, but first I need you. Red carpet, yes, but shorter than expected. No Xi at the gate, [music and singing] just the deputy respected. A diplomatic message, Donnie, read the room. When the host sends the [music] backup, you [singing] know your status soon. Stepped off the plane with the flag standing tall. Walked in the Beijing like he owns the hall. She was at the table, [music] calm. Tea in hand, the kind [singing] of calm that says, "I already understand." Trump said, "Great
1:34leader." [music] Trump said, "Great land." Trump said, "Fantastic." Shook a very firm hand. She showed him the garden, the old stone wall, trees older than America, [music] roots and [singing] all. "He's been here a thousand years," she said. Trump looked at the trees [music] and looked straight ahead, nodded like the man who just failed the test. Said, "Beautiful trees." And she filed the rest. And Donnie tried the tough words, [music] the big rally sound, the one that works in Florida doesn't [singing] travel around. She blinked once, poured the tea, took his time. You can't threaten the man. [singing] He flew here [music]
2:01to need. That's the line.
2:04Let me tell you what wasn't in the press release.
2:06There was a number.
2:08Not the Boeing number.
2:10Not the soybean number. The other one.
2:13>> [music] >> From a war that was supposed to last a week.
2:18That number flew to Beijing in the seat right next to Donnie.
2:22>> [music] >> No ticket needed.
2:24It was already on the manifest. Soybeans on the [singing] table, Boeing's on the list. A hundred billion promises wrapped up in a fist. He said, "We'll make a deal that works for both of us." She said, "Of course." And handed him a bus.
2:36A bus to the next [music] topic. Move slow. Clean, of course, in that room means [singing] not what you mean. No paper signed. No Iran line. No warm key.
2:44China's [music] buying Iranian oil at a discount, you see. Trump said, "Fix it."
2:47She heard the ask, handed him an empty glass to move to the next task. Why would she rush? She's got the better hand. [music] When you guess need more, you understand. America first. Great hat.
2:58Great thumb. Great call. America begging sounds different in that hall. He brought the soybeans. He brought the planes. He brought [music] the silence.
3:05And silence explains. "How much longer here?" Peep passed [music] it back.
3:10Smile. Pretend nothing's weird. Two little sidekicks. Professionally calm.
3:17Both quietly reading from the everything is fine song.
3:21She Pick up. [music] Pick up the phone.
3:23Donnie's on Air Force One. Tired and alone. The war [music] got heavy. The deal fell through. America first. But first I need you. Don't let it ring.
3:32Don's calling again.
3:34>> [music] >> Got Peter Marco on a very broken plan.
3:36Flew in strong, leaving lighter than air. She just [music] smiled and offered him a chair.
3:42Here's the thing about power.
3:44It doesn't always shout. [music] Sometimes it just pours the tea.
3:50Walks you through the garden. smiles very slowly, and lets you do all the talking because the man who talked more in that room needed something.
4:02And the man who talked less >> [music] >> already knew the price.
4:07>> Yeah. Uh uh Back on Air Force One over the Pacific blue, he opened up his phone and typed a nightly review. "Incredible trip, historic, the [music] best. She loves me." Exclamation point. "God bless." The markets open, lower analysts sitting.
4:21[music] Financial Times said he gave nothing to him. Truth Social said we won, we always win. And somewhere, somebody liked [music] it and moved on.
4:29The Hormuz Strait still sitting like a lock. Gas approaching five a gallon [singing and music] on the clock. Peak gave a statement, composed, bright, breezy. Marco sent a memo, productive, positive, easy. He came in like the eagle, wings spread, [music] flag high.
4:41Left with the bag of seeds and a very tired [singing] eye. She filed the visit under "manic, complete." [music] The eagle came to borrow, the dragon kept its seat.
4:50Thank you for holding.
4:52>> [music] >> We've reviewed your request. The deal not available at this time. The Iran problem still on the line. The Hormuz, we'll look into it. The soybeans appreciated. [music] Thank you. We hope your visit was >> [sighs] >> tremendous. Your call has been forwarded to [music] the next available country.
5:14America first, but not with us.
