Five years of storms. You have very big storms in this area. When you have a storm, you have a storm. And they made it barely, but they were in bad shape. So, I had some local people come up and and we looked at them. You have some great craftsmen here, I think, is what you're getting at. And they said, "Sir, honestly, they've had it. We can copy it and do it much better." And they did. If you take a look at the windows in the various dining rooms, they're magnificent. And they're new and they're much better looking than what was there. Same exact look other than a much higher quality.
But do you foresee a rate cut? And and they're local people. I used a lot of your local people. You have you have really great uh local tradesmen here. Yes. But do you foresee a rate cut this week? Do you expect the a rate cut? Yeah. Do you expect meaning a tax cut? No. No. No. Do you expect the Fed to cut rates this week? Um I think he has to. You had 11 cuts. You know, in Europe they had 11 cuts. In other places, they had 10 or 11 cuts and we had none. But I'm not going to say anything bad. You know, we're we're doing so well even without the rate cut. With the rate cut, it would be better. It affects our housing a little bit. Look, uh we should be three points lower. Each point is $360 billion. Can you imagine that? That's big numbers. Each point, one point of cut is the equivalent of $360 billion in savings. That's big stuff. You know, those are big numbers in the US. Everything's big. Uh he should cut. Uh a smart person would cut. You know, he leaves very soon, so it's like one of those things. But I'll miss him greatly.
Who will you appoint on on Turbury? on Turbury if I may. Um, have you or will you enlist the prime minister in your effort to bring the open back to Turnbury? And prime minister, you described this beautiful course. Do you agree with the president that it's time to bring the open back to Tbury? Well, uh, as you know, that's not a matter directly, um, for me that's for the sporting authorities. But look, I mean, it is abs first time I've been here. It's absolutely u magnificent um, both inside and out and looking at the courses itself and the building, it's uh, it's incredible. But the decision on uh the open is not a decision um for me as you'll understand.
I should just pick up on the earlier question because I I for one will say congratulations to the Lioness's. Last night our women's football team won the Euros well defended the Euros I should say which was a really big um success and the mental and physical resilience that they showed was quite um incredible. So there's there's a lot of bunting out today and tomorrow to to celebrate them bring that cup home. Did you get the chance to do any planning for the upcoming state visit and and how is that going to work? Where would you stay and anything about this? Well, I'm looking forward to it. It's never been done before twice. We had our original at Buckingham Palace and now I guess we're going to Winston and it's never been done. And I'm a big fan of King Charles. I have uh I've known him for quite a while. A great guy, great person. He looks really well to me. He looks great. So, we look forward to coming over. It's going to be it's it was one of the most beautiful evenings I've ever seen. I I hate to say it, but nobody does it like you people in terms of the pomp and ceremony and I look forward to uh to being here with the ambassador. our ambassador is a very very successful man who just wanted to do this and uh I said how do you how are you going to be able to do that and he he's so committed to you know the relationship between the countries but uh he's very great guy and a very very successful man so uh I very much thank you for doing this thank you for the honor.
State visit will you go to London or are you already no longer about what will you visit London during the state visit or I will uh I'm not a fan of your mayor. Why not? I think your man may I think he's done a terrible job. The mayor of London, but uh a nasty person. I think he's I think I think he's a friend of mine in Russia. No, I think he's done a terrible job. But uh but I would certainly visit London. You would you want parliament to be recalled? So MP Nigel Farage has asked for parliament to be recalled when you're there so you can talk. I like Nigel. I mean Nigel, as you know, is a friend of mine. Nigel's done very well. He's a friend of mine. I think you is a friend of mine. Would you recall parliament so that the president can talk to MPs? Well, Parliament's in recess at the time. But look, I do want to be clear. This is an unprecedented and very special state visit. Uh this has never been done um before. There'll be many ele elements of it that um have never been seen before. So, uh, this is going to be a historic, um, occasion and, uh, uh, we're all very much looking forward to it and, uh, I was very, very pleased to be able to, um, put forward the invitation, um, when we were at the, uh, White House earlier this year. So, so this is not just a state visit. Um, they're always incredible occasions. Um, and, uh, this is an unprecedented second state visit. So, um, you could imagine just how special that's going to be. The fact that it's never done been done before, and that's because it's non-consecutive, and it's the only reason it could be made it even more interesting, frankly. So, it's it's going to be great. And being with Charles, Camila, everybody I've gotten to know because of four years and now six months, uh, gotten to know a lot of the family members. They're great people. They're really great people. And in that sense, I think that the UK is very lucky. You could have people that weren't great people. I don't know if I'd say that, but you could have people that weren't. But we're very lucky to have our family. Absolutely fantastic. So, we we really look forward to that. As far as parliament, I'll if he wants me to speak in parliament, I'll do it. But it doesn't have to be then. It could be some other time. Maybe we should save it for another time. We'll we'll let the one visit speak for itself. But anytime, if I could be helpful, I would certainly do it. Thank you, Mr. President. Gaza. What kind of alternative
