I note that our modern military is obliterating foes from day one with overwhelming firepower; we see ourselves as part of this negotiation as well, negotiating with bombs. You have a choice, as we loiter over Tehran, about your future.

Video Transcript AI Summary
The speaker asserts that Iran’s modern military—its navy, air force, air defenses, leadership, and bunkers—has been “rapidly and historically obliterated, defeated from day one with overwhelming firepower.” The speaker credits a joint air campaign conducted by Israel and the United States as “a history books” operation, made possible because the United States’ president “unites their hands to actually go out and close with and destroy the enemy as viciously as possible from moment one.” The speaker frames the coalition as part of a negotiation “with bombs,” highlighting the coercive approach used during the conflict.
Over Tehran, the speaker states there is a choice about the future, noting that the president has “made it clear that you will not have a nuclear weapon,” a position the war department “agrees” with. The speaker emphasizes maintaining US leverage—“keeping our hand on that throttle”—as long as it is necessary to achieve American interests on the battlefield. The speaker distinguishes this conflict from prior campaigns, saying, “This is not Iraq and Afghanistan,” and describes the president as being focused on specific outcomes rather than vague end states.
The core objective is stated plainly: to create the conditions for Iran “never to have a nuclear capability,” and the speaker asserts that this objective is being pursued “in historic fashion.” The message closes with gratitude to the president for leading this effort.

Speaker 0: Next. Well, thank you, mister president. You're you're spot on. Never in history has a modern military. Iran had a modern military, a modern navy, a modern air force, modern air defenses, leadership, massive bunker.
Never has a modern military been so rapidly and historically obliterated, defeated from day one with overwhelming firepower. The air campaign that we've conducted, that Israel's conducted alongside us was one for the history books, truly. And it's because we have a president of The United States that when he sends his war fighters out to fight, he unties their hands to actually go out and close with and destroy the enemy as viciously as possible from moment one. And that's why we see ourselves as part of this negotiation as well. We're we we negotiate, with bombs.
You have a choice as we loiter over the top of Tehran, as the president talked about, about your future. President has made it clear that you will not have a nuclear weapon. The war department agrees. Our job is to ensure that, and so we're keeping our our hand on that throttle, as long as it's hard as it's necessary to ensure the interest of The United States Of America are achieved on that battlefield. This is not Iraq and Afghanistan.
This is not a president who's interested in in in vague end states. He's been very clear with us about what we need to accomplish, creating the conditions for them never to have a nuclear capability, and that's exactly what we're doing in historic fashion. Thank you, mister president. Thank you.

Video Transcript AI Summary
The discussion centers on the government shutdown, noting it’s the first since 2018 and that House Republicans passed a “clean CER” while Democrats voted for “clean CRs” 13 times under Biden. Trump argues the Democrats won’t vote now because of demands like “illegal aliens to get taken care of with health care,” “open borders,” and “transgender for everybody” including “men and women’s sports.” He recalls a meeting with Hakim Jeffries and Chuck Schumer where they were “total gentlemen” in the room but different outside. He criticizes “fraud, waste, and abuse” and suggests cutting projects the administration favored. He touts the “great big beautiful bill” and says “there is no tax” on tips, overtime, or Social Security, claiming “record growth” and “$17,000,000,000,000” invested. He cites a $15B commitment for Homer City, discusses National Guard in Portland and Chicago, and hints at a possible $1,000–$2,000 dividend to Americans.

Speaker 0: News of the day, the government has shut down for the first time since 2018, sir.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 0: And what's fascinating about this situation is you have the house Republicans who have passed a clean CER.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 0: Democrats voted for that back in March. They voted for clean CRs 13 times under former president Biden. So I wanna ask you, in your opinion, what changed? Why won't they vote for it this time?
Speaker 1: Well, it's politics, and they're doing things and asking for things that you wouldn't want and most people that are sane wouldn't want and, patriots wouldn't want. They want illegal aliens to get taken care of with health care. And it's not look. I have a bigger heart than they do, but, it's not even that. Everybody in the world is gonna enter our country and say, us free health care.
Give us this. Give us that. It's gonna ruin all of the things that we have, all of the plans that we have. Obamacare was never any good, but it it subsists. It's there.
And everything will be destroyed because no country has enough money to take care of that. So they want the illegals. They refuse to get away with open borders. They wanna do open borders. They'll if they ever got in, they'll open up the borders.
We have closed borders now. You only come into our country legally, but they would open up the borders in two minutes if any and you understand it better than anybody because you've covered it so well for so long. Even though you're a young guy, you've covered it very well. They want transgender for everybody. They want men and women's sports.
They haven't learned what happened in the last election. I think they forgot. And it's pretty amazing, actually. But in terms of the dollars or the the money that we're talking about, they want us to take care of illegals. They want us to take care of people that can absolutely get a job.
They're healthy and strong as you can be and young. And this is not what this was all about.
Speaker 0: No. It wasn't. And there was a lot of intrigue because you welcomed Hakim Jeffries, Chuck Schumer, and you sat down with them and you heard them out. What did you learn from that specific meeting ahead of this shutdown, sir? Well,
Speaker 1: we got along very well. I learned that they were much different outside of the office because in the office, they were total gentlemen outside of the office. They get out to the press and they start ranting and raving. It's I said, are those the two guys who just left? They were very nice.
We had a nice talk for an hour. And they went outside, and it was a different group of people. I mean, they're political people. And one of the other things is fraud, waste, and abuse. They don't wanna have any anybody, I mean, the whole thing is crazy.
When you find obvious fraud, you wanna take care of it, waste and abuse. And they don't want anything to change, and what that's gonna do is ruin it for the people that are taxpaying great American patriots.
Speaker 0: It's not rocket science when you think of it. There was an o m b memo going around suggesting that there might be firings during the shutdown. Do you think that will happen if the shutdown goes for a little bit of time, sir?
Speaker 1: Well, there could be firings, and that's their fault, and it could also be other things. I mean, we could cut projects that they wanted, favorite projects, and that they'd be permanently cut. So you could say a lot of people are saying Trump wanted this, that I wanted this closing, and I didn't want it. But a lot of people are saying it because I'm allowed to cut, things that should have never been approved in the first place, and I will probably do that.
Speaker 0: One thing that you did when the government was open, though, sir, is you delivered historic tax cuts in under six months, fulfilling a major campaign promise. And you inherited an absolute mess of an economy when you came in here. Inflation was sky high, groceries were sky high, gasoline was sky high, electricity was sky high. You immediately delivered on no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, no tax on social security, making permanent the tax cuts from your first administration. Can you talk a little bit about how Americans are going to feel that in 2026, and how much better their financial situation is going to be because of the tax cuts that you got done so quickly?
Speaker 1: Well, first of all, we passed a bill that was the biggest bill ever passed in the history of our country, and it was tax cuts, and it was all of the thing regulation cuts, which a lot of people don't understand are actually more important than the tax cuts in terms of jobs than everything else. But we passed the bill. We call it the big beautiful. I call it the great big, but the great big beautiful bill. And we had fun with it, and all of a sudden, we started to realize it really was a great big beautiful bill.
And what's happened is we're getting the big I don't have to go over them. You just went over some of them, but tax on tips and tax on Social Security and tax on overtime. There is no tax, and nobody can believe it even. And when we talk about the kind of things most importantly, we got the Trump tax cuts from the previous from the first administration, my first administration. We got that extended and amplified and actually made much bigger, much better, much stronger than it was even before.
And that's what led us to a record. We had record growth, and now we're having record growth like never before. Nobody's seen where we have 17,000,000,000,000 plus. Just think of it. $17,000,000,000,000 is being invested in a country.
Under Biden, in four years, they had less than $1,000,000,000,000. So we have 17,000,000,000,000 in eight months, and I think there'll be an explosion of success in the country like we've never had before.
Speaker 0: You talked about the growth. That's like been a keyword throughout your this administration. So you talked about how much we want to grow the economy. The numbers back it up. Quarter two GDP was revised up to 3.8%.
The widely watched Atlanta Fed, I believe their Fed GDP now model is up to 3.9% for quarter three for real economic output, real wages for blue collar workers, electricians, plumbers, construction workers. It's growing at the fastest clip that it did in sixty years, sir. So when you think about all these really, really positive macro numbers, how will it make people's lives in Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, the Rust Belt, How will it improve all of their lives? How will they feel these types of numbers in their own personal situation?
Speaker 1: The fairest question of all, it's called jobs. They're gonna have great jobs. They're gonna have the job that they wanted. They're gonna be able to go out and negotiate the best deal they wanna and and most importantly, they're gonna have a job that they want and that they're good at. So we have factories opening up all over the country.
We have auto plants opening up all over the country. Just today, read where Volvo said that because of the tariffs and because of president Trump and the victory that we had, Volvo's opening up a massive plant, which had no intention of doing this. The president of Volvo said we had no intention of doing this, and now because of a couple of things, the election, but maybe most importantly, the tariffs. But the election was probably more important because without me, this wouldn't have happened. So we have all of this investment come in.
But one thing that just came up as I'm walking into the room, this beautiful room in the White House where you sit and ask me very good questions, the trade deficit was cut in half. Nobody ever saw that. And it was cut in half because we're taking in hundreds of billions of dollars worth of tariffs. So the trade deficit in one in a just a a few months was cut in half. Nobody thought that would be possible to do so quickly except me.
I mean, I did. I said, frankly, I think we're gonna you're gonna see numbers. We are becoming a country that's so rich, so powerful. It gives us power, but so rich, and we can take care of people. We can take care of our people.
We can help other countries, frankly. But the numbers we're making are, nobody thought it was possible. Now they're all saying Trump was right.
Speaker 0: Dude, you mentioned the tariffs. You talked about how the tariffs, plus the big beautiful bill and the tax cuts in there, are incentivizing massive amounts of investment.
Speaker 1: And no inflation.
Speaker 0: And no inflation at all. Inflation is completely stable. It's around target rate, and the country is ultimately taking in unprecedented amounts of tariff revenue, more than $200,000,000,000 at this point in time, sir. What do you believe this extra source of revenue can be put towards, and how big of a game changer is it for your administration?
Speaker 1: Well, ultimately, you know, because we're talking about a a just kicking in. They're just starting to kick kick in. But, ultimately, your tariffs are gonna be over a trillion dollars a year, in my opinion. We're gonna do something. We're looking at something where, number one, we're paying down debt because people have allowed the debt to go crazy.
But, you know, with growth, with the kind of growth we have now, the debt is very little, relatively speaking. You grow yourself out of that debt. It's not a question of paying it. You grow yourself out. And the numbers are so much bigger than they ever were.
The numbers we have now are bigger than they ever were. So when you have $36,000,000,000,000 in debt a year ago or two years ago and you have a lot less revenue coming in, then you have 37 or 38. I it's not 38 yet, but it will be. And the numbers are so much bigger. All of a sudden, 38, you're underlevered, whereas for 36, you were highly levered.
We're not highly levered anymore. Now with that being said, we'll pay back debt, but we all we also might make a distribution to the people, almost like a dividend to the people of America.
Speaker 0: How much are you thinking for that, sir?
Speaker 1: Well, we're thinking maybe a thousand to $2,000. It'd be great.
Speaker 0: Another way that you directly made sure that you prioritized forgotten communities. I asked you about this in the Oval Office a couple of months ago, but you went to Pennsylvania, and you announced a slew of investment commitment for the Keystone State, specifically regarding AI. But I wanna hone in on Homer City, Pennsylvania. K. Back in, I believe it was July 2023, the Homer City generating Station, which was Pennsylvania's biggest coal fired plants are closed down.
A lot of regulations. On 10/09/2024, you went to Wilkes Barre, Pennsylvania, and you told the residents of Homer City that you would not forget about them, you would make sure that they were prioritized, you did that. Early July, you announced a $15,000,000,000 investment commitment for Homer City, the largest natural gas fired plant in the entire country. You're president of The United States. You have a gazillion things to do every day.
You're trying to end wars. You're dealing with other countries. Why did you want to make sure that these people were taken care of?
Speaker 1: Because they were really screwed for many years. What they got they got the short end of it from administrations that didn't know what they were doing. You could look at East Palace Palestine. You could look in Ohio with what happened there, and we took care of those people. And before that, Biden did nothing.
He did absolutely nothing. Look at North Carolina where they had the the horrible it was like a flood, massive flood. It was a hurricane, but it was a water hurricane. A lot of nobody's ever seen anything like it where land you know, big beautiful pieces of land were out in the middle of a lake. The whole thing was surrounded by water that were devastated.
I got in, and we took care of North Carolina. Before I got in, they let it go. It was terrible. They just forgot about it.
Speaker 0: You wait the first week?
Speaker 1: They they suffered. Yeah. The first week the first week I went in. But while they were there, it was and we got it solved fast. But it was a big investment, and it was a lot of talent and a lot of good congressmen and, you know, etcetera, etcetera.
But when you look at the, you know, Ohio situation, the North Carolina situation, And just what you're saying, I mean, the people were not being the people of our country weren't being taken care of. Other nations were being taken care of, and a lot of billionaires were being taken care of. Now, you know, people would say, well, what about you? I said, well, I think I'm from a different cloth. Somehow, I care more about the people, and I really do.
I think it was disgraceful the way people were being trade treated by the Biden administration. Now add on top of that, you let 25,000,000 people come in from prisons and jails and and from mental institutions. Your quality of life was way down. I mean, you you look at what's the fabric of our country was changing. Many of those people have been taken out.
Many of those people were criminals, career criminals. When you look at what happened to DC and and you look at before and after, it took us twelve days. Intense, but it took us twelve days to fix DC. At the end of a month, it's never been better than it is right now, and we're gonna keep it that way. We're not gonna let this go back.
We had one of the worst crime ridden places. Now we're going to Memphis Mhmm. And we're going to Chicago. We're gonna save Chicago because it has to be saved.
Speaker 0: So you are going to Chicago?
Speaker 1: We're going to Chicago.
Speaker 0: Have you settled on a date yet, sir?
Speaker 1: Pretty soon. Pretty soon. We've already been there. You know, we've been there for five months with the FBI just getting it ready for what we're going to be doing.
Speaker 0: You also announced that you would be sending the National Guard to Portland, Oregon
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 0: To obviously help protect ICE facilities. ICE agents have seen a 1000% increase in assaults on them since January 21 when you compare the same time of last year. Your attorney general wrote in a memo saying that we've entered a new era of extreme political violence.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 0: Do you believe that the presence of the National Guard and a lot of these Democrat run cities is a major deterrent to the violent crime that has broken out.
Speaker 1: Well, the beautiful thing about DC is we showed it. In twelve days, it was almost gone. In twenty five days, it was gone. And there is no crime. You know, when I say no crime, there is no crime virtually in DC.
It's like a safe place. You can walk down with your wife, your beautiful new wife, very nice. Congratulations. Who is also a very good journalist. And I assume still is.
Right? Still is. I hope she continues. But but you can walk together hand in hand, and you're not gonna be mugged and all the other things that happened. We had many murders over 11,000, I guess, 11,888 murderers, people that were many people, more than one murderer.
I guess over 50% killed more than one person. These people were released into our country. They're not gonna get better. They're not gonna say, well, now I'm gonna be good. They're killers and probably born that way, but you'll have to figure that one out for yourself.
These people are out of our country now, a lot of them. We're looking for the rest. We we know who they are, and we're coming to get them. But our country was a very our country was was becoming if I didn't win this election, we would have had a third world country. I really believe that.
So now we have safe city. We're going to have safe cities. We're gonna be in Chicago. We're going to Portland, and now the mayor's the governor's trying to keep us out of Portland. And where do these people come from?
The governor says that, oh, Portland is just fine. And then you turn on the television, you see the place is burning down to the ground, and it has been for a long time. We're gonna take care of Portland.
Speaker 0: Why do you think these Democrat politicians in these cities are so resistant to them? JB Pritzker, Brandon Johnson, officials in Oregon. What are they afraid of? Have you proven that their policies have directly led to decline?
Speaker 1: So they're either bad people or they're stupid. And I don't believe they're stupid. They have something going on where they think that a Portland is in good shape, that Portland is not burning to the ground, that the fires that I'm watching on television aren't there. The you had to see this governor. She didn't know what she was doing.
She called me. She said, we don't want troops in Portland. You know who wants them? The people. They go around, interview people, even CNN.
They interview people. Send as many troops as you can. The people want them. The people in Washington DC want them. Everybody would they wanna have safety.
And if it means we put in National Guard and I'd go a step further than that if I had to. But Chicago is a big deal. I mean, you're gonna lose Chicago. We're not gonna let that happen.
Speaker 0: Have you thought about other cities that you might Yeah.
Speaker 1: I I do other than Chicago. Any city that you see shootings, like Chicago, five, ten, eleven, twelve killings a weekend, and 38 people being shot, Think of that. Thirty eight people being shot, 11 people dying. And this is all the time. Sometimes it's five.
Sometimes it's four. Sometimes it's 12 people being shot. And then after shot, you have 28 to 48 to 58 people. Think of this. You have people being murdered and people being shot at numbers greater than any place in the world.
And you have this governor, this stupid person who got thrown out of his family business because he was incompetent, standing up and saying Chicago is doing fine. We'll handle Chicago. But every weekend, you'd see this. You have long weekends. They made one where they had over a Labor Day weekend.
They said there were 20 people murdered. 20 people. And you know what they said? Well, it was Labor Day weekend. It's a longer weekend, so that's okay.
You know? Can you believe it? I don't know where they come from. So, you know, your question is to how come they're this way. If I were I don't care if I'm a Democrat or what I am.
I would be begging Trump to get in and bring in the troops or do whatever he can because their reputation is shot, and this is why the Democrats are doing so badly. I think crime is gonna be the biggest factor this time. You know, I I had crime, but I had all sorts of other things, open borders, men and women's sports. I had transgender for I had everything. Now the word crime is so big because they're trying to fight me.
I mean, every time we send in the troops to clean it up, we end up in court. We end up winning, but we end up in court. But you look at what happened to DC. It's it's been so beautiful to see. The restaurants are booming.
People are going out to lunch. They're going out to dinner. They're having I have a friend who hadn't gone out in years, and now he's gone to restaurants four or five times in the last couple of weeks. And he said it's so beautiful.
Speaker 0: You mentioned that crime is gonna be a major factor. You got your tax cuts done in half the amount of time it did last time, sir. You did it in December 2017. Now you did it before July 4 here this time around. Looking ahead to 2026, do you believe that your response to combat violent crime and the amount of tax relief and economic success you've had, do you believe that will be enough to help buoy Republicans in the twenty twenty six midterms?
Speaker 1: Hope so. Now the one thing that I worry about is that if you look over many, many years, I don't have the numbers, but the person that wins the presidency always seems to lose the midterms. I don't know why. It's crazy. Even presidents that did well, and there have been some.
And I think we're at the top of the list in terms of doing well. Nobody's done what I've done. Seven wars. We put out seven wars. Now it could be eight.
You saw you reported. It looks like The Middle East could very well be solved after three thousand years approximately. We're gonna have more than Gaza. We're gonna have Gaza plus peace, overall peace. That would be an amazing achievement.
And then we'll get Russia taken care of somehow. We're gonna get that. I thought that would be an easy one. That's been a difficult one. 5,000 people are being killed every single week.
Soldiers, mostly soldiers, Russia and Ukrainian soldiers. But seven different wars I ended, and it's soon gonna be eight. And when you think of it, nobody's done anything like that. Then on top of that, we get you the largest tax cuts in history. People are doing better than they've ever done right now.
We have no inflation. I inherited a mess, and now we have a country. I'll tell you, I was with the king of Saudi Arabia. He said, a year ago, you were in a dead country, and now you have the hottest we're the hottest country in the world right now.
Speaker 0: We certainly are. And do you have any big plans for 2026? Do you plan on hitting the campaign trail at all and helping out some of the candidates? Could you kinda give us a little bit of a inside scoop on regards to your plans in 2026?
Speaker 1: Plans. Yeah. Have big plans. I wanna survive. That's one of my big plans.
So you look at what's going on. It's crazy. You know, the rhetoric that these crazy Democrats are using is very dangerous. They've made politics very dangerous, and we'll be we'll be you're gonna be very happy with the job we're gonna do.
Speaker 0: What's fascinating you mentioned that rhetoric. Senator John Fetterman from Pennsylvania, he actually put out, a thing on x saying, quote, unchecked extreme rhetoric like labels as his Hitler or fascist will foment more extreme outcomes. Political violence is always wrong. No exceptions. Do you think he's right with that description?
Speaker 1: And it can bounce back on the other side too. You know, it's a two way street, and it can bounce back the other way. What they're doing is very dangerous. It's very bad. And there probably hasn't been this kind of intensity, maybe in a long time in this country.
And that intensity, that kind of intensity is very bad. They're using rhetoric that's very dangerous. And, you know, you have stupid people doing it, like Crockett. She's a low IQ person. And others that are not smart people.
And then you have some smart people doing it too. And those are the ones you have to be more careful of. So they've gotta stop it. They've gotta stop it fast.
Speaker 0: You actually just went to the memorial service out in Arizona for Charlie Kirk. The nation is still grieving. It will be grieving for quite some time. Thinking back on that service, what did it mean to you to be there? What did it my wife obviously works for Turning Point, so it What hits home quite was that experience like for you?
Speaker 1: Well, as your wife knows, Charlie was a great guy. Charlie and I were very close. He was a big factor in our big win. I mean, he got a lot of especially young people. I mean, it was like an army of people.
And he was a believer, and I was a believer in him. And I think they're gonna go on to very great things. He became almost bigger because of what this horrible thing this happened. Who would have thought this would go? You know, they talk about chapters.
He wanted to have 20,000 chapters someday. Somebody said they have a 150,000 requests. Mhmm. So he would have been very proud to see, but it should not have happened to him. And his wife is great.
Erica's gonna go on, and I guess she was she's now the chairman. Mhmm. And she's gonna go on, I think, to great success. He always used to say she's very smart. He loved her a lot, but he said she she was very smart.
So we're gonna find out, and I think she's gonna do great.
Speaker 0: I wanna call back to twenty sixteen real quick. What's fascinating about twenty sixteen, it was during one of your debates with Hillary Clinton. She was asked to give you a compliment, say something nice about you. And she said that your children, specifically, reflected very well on you as a parent. You met my wife.
She's actually we're actually expecting our first child next year. So I wanted to wonder if you could give us and the million other of couples here in The United States some parenting advice.
Speaker 1: Well, I know both of you, and you're both outstanding, and you're both very smart. And you're going to have a country given to you. You know, you're only sort of as good. You can be great, but if you're born in the wrong country, it's not so easy. You're gonna have a great country again.
We have a country that was really a sick country, and we're getting better very fast, a lot faster than people could have imagined. You know, as I just said, we're the hottest country anywhere in the world, so you're off to a good start. You just wanna be good, solid. I always tell my kids, I always told them, no drugs, no alcohol, no cigarettes. I'd add in cigarettes.
No cigarettes. It's good. But I'd say that all the time. And Ivanka sometimes would say, dad, stop saying that. I'd say it all the time.
I've seen people, wonderful families. You know, there's so much problems with drugs and alcohol, but drugs pouring in. You didn't have that years ago. And I just put it in my kids' mind. You gotta stay away from drugs, alcohol, stay away from cigarettes.

I propose a comprehensive plan to end the Gaza conflict, aiming for a deradicalized, terror-free Gaza that benefits its people. If both sides agree, hostilities will cease, and hostages will be returned within 72 hours. A transitional governance committee will oversee Gaza's administration, supported by an international body led by me. We will establish a special economic zone and a stabilization force to ensure security and facilitate aid. The plan emphasizes peaceful coexistence, infrastructure rebuilding, and a pathway to Palestinian self-determination.
@RapidResponse47 - Rapid Response 47
President Donald J. Trump’s Comprehensive Plan to End the Gaza Conflict: 1. Gaza will be a deradicalized terror-free zone that does not pose a threat to its neighbors. 2. Gaza will be redeveloped for the benefit of the people of Gaza, who have suffered more than enough. 3. If both sides agree to this proposal, the war will immediately end. Israeli forces will withdraw to the agreed upon line to prepare for a hostage release. During this time, all military operations, including aerial and artillery bombardment, will be suspended, and battle lines will remain frozen until conditions are met for the complete staged withdrawal. 4. Within 72 hours of Israel publicly accepting this agreement, all hostages, alive and deceased, will be returned. 5. Once all hostages are released, Israel will release 250 life sentence prisoners plus 1700 Gazans who were detained after October 7th 2023, including all women and children detained in that context. For every Israeli hostage whose remains are released, Israel will release the remains of 15 deceased Gazans. 6. Once all hostages are returned, Hamas members who commit to peaceful co-existence and to decommission their weapons will be given amnesty. Members of Hamas who wish to leave Gaza will be provided safe passage to receiving countries. 7. Upon acceptance of this agreement, full aid will be immediately sent into the Gaza Strip. At a minimum, aid quantities will be consistent with what was included in the January 19, 2025, agreement regarding humanitarian aid, including rehabilitation of infrastructure (water, electricity, sewage), rehabilitation of hospitals and bakeries, and entry of necessary equipment to remove rubble and open roads. 8. Entry of distribution and aid in the Gaza Strip will proceed without interference from the two parties through the United Nations and its agencies, and the Red Crescent, in addition to other international institutions not associated in any manner with either party. Opening the Rafah crossing in both directions will be subject to the same mechanism implemented under the January 19, 2025 agreement. 9. Gaza will be governed under the temporary transitional governance of a technocratic, apolitical Palestinian committee, responsible for delivering the day-to-day running of public services and municipalities for the people in Gaza. This committee will be made up of qualified Palestinians and international experts, with oversight and supervision by a new international transitional body, the “Board of Peace,” which will be headed and chaired by President Donald J. Trump, with other members and heads of State to be announced, including Former Prime Minister Tony Blair. This body will set the framework and handle the funding for the redevelopment of Gaza until such time as the Palestinian Authority has completed its reform program, as outlined in various proposals, including President Trump’s peace plan in 2020 and the Saudi-French proposal, and can securely and effectively take back control of Gaza. This body will call on best international standards to create modern and efficient governance that serves the people of Gaza and is conducive to attracting investment. 10. A Trump economic development plan to rebuild and energize Gaza will be created by convening a panel of experts who have helped birth some of the thriving modern miracle cities in the Middle East. Many thoughtful investment proposals and exciting development ideas have been crafted by well-meaning international groups, and will be considered to synthesize the security and governance frameworks to attract and facilitate these investments that will create jobs, opportunity, and hope for future Gaza. 11. A special economic zone will be established with preferred tariff and access rates to be negotiated with participating countries. 12. No one will be forced to leave Gaza, and those who wish to leave will be free to do so and free to return. We will encourage people to stay and offer them the opportunity to build a better Gaza. 13. Hamas and other factions agree to not have any role in the governance of Gaza, directly, indirectly, or in any form. All military, terror, and offensive infrastructure, including tunnels and weapon production facilities, will be destroyed and not rebuilt. There will be a process of demilitarization of Gaza under the supervision of independent monitors, which will include placing weapons permanently beyond use through an agreed process of decommissioning, and supported by an internationally funded buy back and reintegration program all verified by the independent monitors. New Gaza will be fully committed to building a prosperous economy and to peaceful coexistence with their neighbors. 14. A guarantee will be provided by regional partners to ensure that Hamas, and the factions, comply with their obligations and that New Gaza poses no threat to its neighbors or its people. 15. The United States will work with Arab and international partners to develop a temporary International Stabilization Force (ISF) to immediately deploy in Gaza. The ISF will train and provide support to vetted Palestinian police forces in Gaza, and will consult with Jordan and Egypt who have extensive experience in this field. This force will be the long-term internal security solution. The ISF will work with Israel and Egypt to help secure border areas, along with newly trained Palestinian police forces. It is critical to prevent munitions from entering Gaza and to facilitate the rapid and secure flow of goods to rebuild and revitalize Gaza. A deconfliction mechanism will be agreed upon by the parties. 16. Israel will not occupy or annex Gaza. As the ISF establishes control and stability, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) will withdraw based on standards, milestones, and timeframes linked to demilitarization that will be agreed upon between the IDF, ISF, the guarantors, and the Unites States, with the objective of a secure Gaza that no longer poses a threat to Israel, Egypt, or its citizens. Practically, the IDF will progressively hand over the Gaza territory it occupies to the ISF according to an agreement they will make with the transitional authority until they are withdrawn completely from Gaza, save for a security perimeter presence that will remain until Gaza is properly secure from any resurgent terror threat. 17. In the event Hamas delays or rejects this proposal, the above, including the scaled-up aid operation, will proceed in the terror-free areas handed over from the IDF to the ISF. 18. An interfaith dialogue process will be established based on the values of tolerance and peaceful co-existence to try and change mindsets and narratives of Palestinians and Israelis by emphasizing the benefits that can be derived from peace. 19. While Gaza re-development advances and when the PA reform program is faithfully carried out, the conditions may finally be in place for a credible pathway to Palestinian self-determination and statehood, which we recognize as the aspiration of the Palestinian people. 20. The United States will establish a dialogue between Israel and the Palestinians to agree on a political horizon for peaceful and prosperous co-existence.

Video Transcript AI Summary
Speaker says this network has not been friendly to this administration and a threat would not matter. "They made a decision because Jimmy Kimball said something that was extremely insensitive and a flat out lie about the president of The United States, and there was no excuse for it. There is no excuse for making a joke. I don't care if you're a comedian or who you are to making a joke about an assassination. There's no room for that at all, and ABC made that decision." He notes Fox did the same with Tucker Carlson and argues the claim of silencing free speech is hypocritical, since "these are the same people that didn't stick up for Tucker Carlson when he got fired for speaking his mind about COVID on Fox." Regarding Friday in the House, he cites the resolution about Melissa Hartman: "Condemn the assassination and honor the life," and contrasts it with Charlie Kirk's name: "That same resolution with the name changed Senator, I have Charlie Kirk, what happened Senator," followed by voting details: "50 vote no, 38 ... Voted present, 22 chose not to vote."

Speaker 0: This is also a network that has not been friendly to this administration whatsoever, and so I don't think a threat would make any difference whatsoever. They made a decision because Jimmy Kimball said something that was extremely insensitive and a flat out lie about the president of The United States, and there was no excuse for it. There is no excuse for making a joke. I don't care if you're a comedian or who you are to making a joke about an assassination. There's no room for that at all, and ABC made that decision.
And and just like Fox made the decision over over Tucker Carlson. And for anyone to say that we're trying to silence free speech, these are the same people that didn't stick stick up for Tucker Carlson when he got fired for speaking his mind about COVID on Fox. So it's this isn't a two way street at this point. This is the left that's being extremely hypocritical of themselves, and the hypocrisy is bad. And Dana Dana, let me point out something too, and he may or may not get to this question.
But I wanna show point out the hypocrisy on the left again over just what happened yesterday or I say yesterday. I'm sorry. Friday in the house of representatives. When you had Melissa Hartman, the state representative that was assassinated, a resolution came forward. The entire house unanimously supported to condemn and to honor the life of her.
Condemn the assassination and honor the life. That same resolution with the name changed Senator, I have Charlie Kirk, what happened Senator, I I wanna point this out though. You had you had 58. But I wanna point it out too because hypocrisy for both sides on the free speech needs to be pointed out because the same resolution that had that that that that had Charlie Kirchner's name on, you had 50 vote no, 38 Okay. Voted present, 22 chose not to vote.
That is silent. So you had a 118 individuals that didn't condemn it k. Because why? To that. Because of hypocrisy over both sides.

There is concern from the Europeans that Zelensky is being bullied into signing something away, which is why European leaders are coming as backup tomorrow. They are coming here tomorrow because we've been working with the Europeans; the president invited them to come. The president told those European leaders last week that he wanted to cease fire, and he said on television he would walk out if Putin didn’t agree, with severe consequences if he didn’t. He spent three hours with Putin and did not get one. Our goal is a peace agreement to end this war. There was enough progress in the talks to move to the next phase. If peace is not possible and the war continues, thousands will die. The president could impose new sanctions, but that would end talks; it will require concessions from both sides.

Speaker 0: You know there is concern from the Europeans that president Zelensky is going to be bullied into signing something away. That's why you have these European leaders coming as backup tomorrow. Can you No.
Speaker 1: It is. That's not why they're coming us back. That's not true. No. But that's not why why would that's not true.
They're not coming here tomorrow to keep Zelenskyy from being bullied. They're not February. Coming Oh, they're they're coming
Speaker 0: here tomorrow. Television cameras where president Zelenskyy
Speaker 1: Do you know how many meetings you've had since then?
Speaker 0: Oh, no. I I know. And I was just up in I the last had bunch of meetings with Vladimir Putin where a red carpet rolls rolls out.
Speaker 1: But with Zelensky, we've had more meetings. We've had we've had we've had one meeting with Putin and, like, a dozen meetings with Zelensky. So that but that's not true. They're not coming here tomorrow to keep Zelenskyy from being bullied. They're coming here tomorrow because we've been working with the Europeans.
We talked to them last week. There were meetings in The UK over the follow the previous weekend.
Speaker 0: And they said president Trump's gonna demand a cease fire.
Speaker 1: As early as Thursday. And but you said that they're coming here tomorrow to keep Zelenskyy from being bullied. They're not coming here tomorrow. Oh, this is such a stupid media narrative that they're coming here tomorrow because the Trump is gonna bully Zelenskyy into a bad deal. We've been working with these people for weeks for weeks on this stuff.
They're coming here tomorrow because they chose to come here tomorrow. We invited them to come. We invited them to come. The president invited them to come.
Speaker 0: But the president told those European leaders last week that he wanted to cease fire. The president went on television, said he would walk out of the meeting if Vladimir Putin didn't agree with one. He said there would be severe consequences if he didn't agree to one. He said he'd walk out in two minutes. He spent three hours talking to Vladimir Putin, and he did not get one.
So there's
Speaker 1: some exceptions. Something things happened during that meeting. Well, because, obviously, things look. Our goal here is not to stage some production for the world to say, oh, how dramatic you walked out. Our goal here is to have a peace agreement to end this war.
Okay? And, obviously, we felt, and I agreed, that there was enough progress, not a lot of progress, but enough progress made in those talks to allow us to move to the next phase. If not, we wouldn't be having Zelensky flying all the way over here. We wouldn't be having all the Europeans coming all the way over here. Now understand and take with a grain of salt, I'm not saying we're on the verge of a peace deal, but I am saying that we saw movement, enough movement to justify a follow-up meeting with Zelensky and the Europeans, enough movement for us to dedicate even more time to this.
You talk about the sanctions. Look. At the end of the day, if peace is not gonna be possible here and this is just gonna continue on as a war, people will continue to die by the thousands. The president has that option to then come in and impose new sanctions. But if he did this now, the moment the president puts those additional sanctions, that's the end of the talks.
You've basically locked in at least another year to year and a half of war and death We may unfortunately wind up there, but we don't wanna wind up there. We wanna wind up with a peace deal that ends this war so Ukraine can go on with the rest of their lives and rebuild their country and be assured that this is never gonna happen again. That's the goal here. We're gonna do everything possible to make that happen if it's doable. It will require both sides to make concessions.
It will require both sides to get things they're asking for. That's how these deals are made, whether we like it or not.

Video Transcript AI Summary
The speaker informed the president of new data showing the Bureau of Labor Statistics overestimated job creation by 1,500,000 jobs during the Biden administration. Unpublished Census Bureau data indicates that median household income increased by $1,174 in the first five months of Biden's presidency.
Real family income gained $6,400 under Trump's first term, compared to $551 under Biden. Every income group fared better under Trump. Under Biden, the lowest income group lost income, the middle class saw virtually no gain, and the highest income group was the only one that improved. Trump reduced income inequality, while Biden worsened it. The lowest income group gained $4,000 under Trump, the middle class $6,400, and the richest almost $10,000.

Speaker 0: And so, I called the president because I had some very good news from some new data that we've been able to, put together that no one has ever, seen before, and I'll just very quickly go through these. So I was telling the president that he did the right thing in calling for a new head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics because this shows that over the last, two years of the Biden administration, the BLS overestimated job creation by 1,500,000 jobs. That's a mister president, that's gigantic a error. And, I I don't know if she's I'm not It might not
Speaker 1: have been an error. That's the bad part. If it was an error, it would
Speaker 0: be one thing. I don't
Speaker 1: think it's an error. I think they did it purposely.
Speaker 0: Whether that you may well be right, but even if it wasn't purposefully, it's incompetence. Right. Okay. So 1,500,000, jobs, overestimated. We have access to the we have access to the, some data that no one else does on what has happened month by month with median household income.
This is based on unpublished Census Bureau data. It will be released sometime in the next six months, but we get an advanced look at it. And so I was telling the president in his first five months in office, starting in January through the June, the average median household income adjusted for inflation for, the average family in America is already up $1,174. That's a that's a
Speaker 1: An incredible number. Just came out.
Speaker 0: Just just came out. So that's a giant game.
Speaker 1: And if I would have said this, nobody would have believed it. I mentioned there's your number.
Speaker 0: We're doing well. So the next one compares we finally have the 2024 data on what happened with real family income in The United States. And so what I did was I compared the record and Donald Trump's first term with the Joe Biden first term. And you can see that, by the way, this these dotted lines here, mister president, that's COVID. So if it had not been for COVID, these numbers would have been It's amazing.
Substantially better. But even taking account, president Trump's last year in '20, '20, we saw, a $6,400 real after inflation gain in income for the average family, and that compares with with Joe Biden, which was, measly $551. So, mister president, you get you gain 10 times more income for the average family than Joe Biden is because of your policies.
Speaker 1: And that's taken into consideration COVID Yep. Which a lot of times you don't have to do that.
Speaker 0: But I'm
Speaker 1: very glad you did. Over. No. We were almost 8,000 until Look at that number. Yeah.
Okay.
Speaker 0: So then we looked at, you know, which families did the best, and we have data from the Census Bureau that shows, by income, percentage. So the twenty fifth percentile is the lowest seventy fifth percentile is the highest income. What I find fascinating about this, mister president, is every income group did better. The red is, president Trump. The blue is president Biden.
Every single income group did better under, president Trump. But what's really amazing is look what happened under Biden. The lowest income group lost income under Biden. They were poor four years after president, Biden's presidency. No grand virtually whatsoever for the middle class, and the rich was the only group that did better under Biden, which is ironic because the Biden keeps saying he was trying to, get rid of income inequality.
He made income inequality worse, not better. It was president Trump that reduced income inequality. These numbers just came out, by the way. Yep. And then finally, these are the numbers just in in I just showed you in percentage terms.
Mister president, these are the numbers in dollar terms. So, even the lowest income, twenty fifth percent, gained about $4,000 in income. That's a lot for a for a lower income family. $6,400 for the middle class and almost 10,000 for the richest. So so you can see every income group did better under Trump and Biden by a wide margin.
That's the story.

I think when I got there the most served that day, as soon as I arrived on-site, was getting a briefing from all the emergency responders was just how unified they were in in focusing on the fact that they're we're there to save lives.
They were there to rescue people, find people who were still alive, and to reunify them with their family members. We, as a federal government, don't manage these disasters. The state does. We come in and support them, and that's exactly what we did here in this situation. FEMA went to an enhanced level immediately.
But as soon as you signed the major disaster declaration, we were able to get them resources and dollars right away, just like you envisioned, through state block grants to help them with cleanup. And we're still there in presence, and FEMA's been deployed. And we're cutting through the paperwork of the old FEMA, streamlining it much like your vision of how FEMA should operate. And it's been a much better response to help these families get through this terrible situation. We still are looking for people.
We're still looking for a lot of little girls and other family members that were camping along that river. And they will continue until they find every single person, and we will continue to help them and assist in that. I was surprised when I got there at the camp that day right after this happened, the the parents that were there, the parents that were looking for their children and picking up their daughter's stuffed animals out of the mud, then finding their daughter's shoe that might be laying in the cabin, and just hugging and comforting people matters a lot. I'm extremely grateful for God's hand in that whole situation because hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of people were saved. And and this is a time for all of us in this country to remember that we were created to serve each other.
Yeah. Were god created us to take care of each other. And that when we do that, we are happier, happier, we are more fulfilled, and we can walk alongside people on their worst day and help them get through it and come out the other side knowing that we can that we can continue to live a life that God has purposed for us. So they're grateful for you. I several times, the day after the flooding, you and Melania were on the phone with me, and I wanna thank you for that.
That meant the world. I was able to tell many of those folks that I had been visiting with you and that you had said whatever they need, Christie, let's deploy it and get it down there and be helpful. And then on Sunday, when the families were waiting at a church to identify their children's bodies, Franklin Graham, and I called in and and prayed with the families and read some scripture with them, and he was incredible in making himself available to that as well. We'll be back down there in a couple of days and continue to do all we can, but this this is a unprecedented event. It really is.
There's there's been tragedies like this around the country, but everyone is unique in different situations. And, you know, the response the federal government had supporting the state through this. I'm proud of the people that stepped up and immediately came. The Coast Guard, when they came in, they had a difficult time even getting the aircraft in and landed. They had several times in the weather to get it in and deploy.
And I think we we've heard about, you know, our one coast guard member that was responsible for saving over a 165 people, but that entire crew did incredible work. And all the first responders there did incredible work. And I know people are getting tired now, but but they're getting reinforcements and volunteers are showing up. And I just wanna commend the governor and his team for being the leaders. And they're so thankful that you're letting them make the decisions and manage the response like it should be, and then us supporting them with the resources of the federal government.
We've already deployed dollars to the state, much like the block grants that you've talked about. So very grateful for that, sir.
Speaker 0: There's never been a wave like this outside of the breaking of a dam. This was almost a wave that was ended up being 30 feet high more, actually. Now with the dam, you can understand it, but this approached almost with that speed. When you see a dam break, it's not a pretty sight. It wipes out everything.
And this is the kind of thing that built up so fast. And it's happened two or three times before over the years, but not to this extent. But tell them when you met the father who was picking up the daughter's clothing and
Speaker 1: I had walked through the cabin where all the little girls died. And and I I had kinda fallen apart in there, but I walked out of the cabin. And one gentleman was standing there, and he said, that that man over there needs a hug. And so I walked over to him, and I hugged him. And I said, do you work here?
And he said, no. My little girl was in that cabin. And he said, and I just found her best friend about an hour and a half ago. She had passed away, and he just fell apart. And so then we just hugged and talked for probably an hour about that.
But then there was another the the grandpa was there looking for his granddaughter as well. There was a dad there of one of the counselors. The counselor was alive, but she was dealing with the fact that she had hung on to some of these girls and was trying to keep them out of the floodwaters and had gotten hit by something and had lost two of the girls and and wasn't able to hang on to them and was gonna live the rest of her life thinking about that moment when she wasn't able to hang on to these girls. But these these parents were picking up their kids' belongings out of the mud and throughout the camp and putting them in bags. And and then one of the dads said, I knew 50 of these girls here.
So I'm what I knew that was her dress. It's my daughter's friend's dress. So I was he was picking it up and putting it in a bag to return to her parents.
Speaker 2: And so
Speaker 1: it was a and then the director was there comforting everybody who had lost his father the night before too, and he was still there trying to facilitate all of these parents grieving their children and find them. So the strength of of people is incredible. One of the things that I asked there today that day was that they all have escorts or counselors when parents come in. That so from that point, that when they came into the camp, that they have somebody with them when they're going and looking for their children's belongings or looking for their children. And so very emotional, but also just so tragic.
Speaker 0: Yeah. The relationship with Texas and the governor has been obviously very good for years with me. But the relationship with Texas and their first responders and us, with our first responders and lots of other people, and we brought in a lot of helicopters from all over,
Speaker 3: and we
Speaker 0: had a lot of helicopters. It was actually dangerous. A lot of helicopters up there, but they were real pros and they were responsible for pulling out a lot of people. And we got them there fast, and the Texas had some good ones too. But the response has been incredible.
And the fact that we got along so well, I don't know. That's not I don't even think that's a political thing. But we got along so well, and it was so unified. I think a lot of lives have been saved. That could have been as bad as it was, and you could have lost double or triple.
This thing was just really horrible. Well, congratulations on a great job, and I appreciate it. I know you're going down. I'll be going down on Friday with First Lady. He would be taking a trip, and we don't wanna get in anyone's way because, you know, that's what happens.
The president goes and everyone's around focused on I don't want anyone to focus on us. But it's possible they could have they could have somebody safe still. You know, there's a lot of areas. It's a big area. And, you know, it's probably unlikely at this point, but there could be I mean, there's they're thinking there could be the possibility.
But what a tragic situation. Good job. And we'll see you on Friday, and we'll finish out the day Yeah. Here. I think you've been reading a lot about it's a terrible topic when you talk about financial after this, but we have a big country and we've been doing very well.
Tariffs, as you know, are starting to come in at record levels. Tremendous amounts of money are coming in to our country. We never did that before. We're not used to. We only have tariffs going out.
We only adhere to the rules of other nations who charge us tremendous tariffs because we were led by stupid people or people without any business sense. And I'd like to ask Scott, you could maybe talk a little bit about how well we're doing with regard to the money coming in. And the big money will start coming in on August 1. I think it was made clear today by the letters that were sent out yesterday and today. Go ahead, please.
Speaker 4: Yes, sir. We will have taken in about a $100,000,000,000 in tariff income thus far this year, and that's with the tariffs the major tariffs not having started till the second quarter. So we could expect that that could be well over 300,000,000,000 by the end of the year. We don't agree with CBO scoring, but for those who do, the CBO scored tariff income over the next ten years at 2,800,000,000,000, which we think is probably low. And, you know, sir, under your leadership, we're witnessing And they gave us no credit
Speaker 0: for the this last little great, big, beautiful bill. I always use the word great. I add that to it because it really is what it is. There's never been anything like it, actually. And I wanna thank all the Republicans that voted for it.
And I I wanna, you know, scold the Democrats because they're voting for tax cuts, they're voting for no tax on tips, no tax on social social security, no tax on overtime, and, you know, many, many other things far more important than that. Great health care. And, frankly, they every every Democrat should lose their election because it was purely political to vote. They were told not to vote for it. So think of it.
We got 218 to two. And then with the Senate, we had 50 to three. Democrats didn't vote at all. Not not one positive vote with all of the good things in there. Economic development money.
Tremendous border money. Now you're loaded up on the border. And I don't think we're gonna so much of it because we had a we had zero come in last month, so I'm not sure how much of it we wanna spend. You may think about that. You may actually think about saving a lot of money because the wall's been largely built, and it obviously worked.
But you you may wanna think about that. But so I I think it's incredible when I watch the Democrats, and they have standard lines like they had Russia, Russia, Russia. They had the laptop from hell. It all came from Russia. You know, they makes they make things up and they go with it, and they feed it to you people in many cases.
And they said, here's our line. And I I hear the new line is death. Oh, it's death. Everyone's gonna die. It has nothing to do with death.
In fact, we're saving our country. Death is from allowing 25,000,000 people into our country, of which three or four are stone cold, hard criminals. Eleven thousand eight hundred and eighty eight are murderers, many of them committing more than one murder. That's death. The Democrats did that.
Joe Biden did that by allowing people to come in here just totally unchecked, unvetted, borders. Open borders. The whole world was dumped into our country from prisons, from gangs, from mental institutions. We have many people walking the streets, walking in areas that we don't know anything about that came out of insane asylums. They released their insane asylum the insane asylum population into our country.
And we're it's amazing the job that you and Tom Homan are doing, by the way, on that. But we have to get them out, and we have no choice. We have to get them out, and we are getting them out. And so, Pete, you wanna tell them about our great military and how well we did with respect to the bombers and the b two? We had the pilots here two days ago, and they were incredible people.
Go ahead.
Speaker 5: Yes, sir. Truly a historic mission and demonstrated the skill and courage of the United States military. From those b two pilots and families that we had a chance to meet, sir, to the fighter pilots, to the refuelers, to the maintainers, to the air defenders who defended the base, what was demonstrated on the world stage was American military might and capability. And it wasn't just Fordow and Asfahan and Natanz that took notice in Iran. It was the rest of the world that we have a decisive commander in chief willing to use these capabilities, which are the best in the world.
As the president pointed out, no one else could have done what America did there on that night, and everyone took notice of that. With the one big beautiful bill, sir, we've got a 150,000,000,000 additional to invest in Golden Dome and all the other weapon systems and stockpiles and shipbuilding Right. Priorities of yours. Another month, another historic recruiting bump. It's not just the Army and the Marine Corps anymore.
It's the Navy, the Air Force, and the Space Force all historically ahead of where they've ever been. So historic spirit inside the military. We had a chance to be at NATO, Marco and I, and see how the world's response to to us saying it's time for you to shoulder the burden and take the lead for your continent. That only happens with president Trump leading. And we're proud to be a part of what's going on at the border, sir, with now a fourth national defense area where we're helping get to that number zero in securing the border.
But that mission, Operation Midnight Hammer, reestablished deterrence. It reversed what happened in Afghanistan. You saw the debacle of what Biden allowed to happen in Afghanistan and the what that did to our image. President Trump said, with Operation Midnight Hammer, we're reestablishing American leadership in deterrence, and we're proud to be a part of it, sir.
Speaker 0: And our so called enemies were watching. They watched every minute of it. They watched there was very few people that weren't watching, actually. But they watched every minute. It was a perfect military performance, the likes of which we haven't seen in a long time.
I mean, if you compare that to the same country, the hostages from years ago, Jimmy Carter, it was unfortunate for Jimmy Carter. He's a nice man, but with the helicopters going down, the sandstorms, the prisoners, they get captured, then the election and the prisoners and Reagan and all the problem. It was nothing but problems. And and that was a failure. And ours was not only the pilots, I mean, those machines flew for thirty seven straight hours.
They didn't stop. They went skedaddle. You know the word skedaddle? It means skedaddle. They dropped the bombs and they somebody said, skedaddle.
Let's get the hell out of here. And every bomb hit its mark and hit it hit it incredibly. And as you know, the Atomic Energy Commission said it's gone. That place is gone. We had a lot of fake reporting, mostly from CNN, where scammer writer a writer for CNN, who should be fired, by the way.
She was involved with the 51 fake intelligence agents, if you remember that. She did that story, created a story out of it. She created a story out of the laptop from hell saying it came from Russia, but it actually came from Hunter Biden's bedroom or worse. And she's a scammer, and she's still at CNN, is pretty amazing. But we'll we'll ask you a question about her.
But they came up with this concept that maybe the attack wasn't that good. Maybe it and I saw it happen right after the attack. I saw this person on CNN. I actually watch. I like to watch the enemy.
You learn from And the I watch because you have to know where they're coming from. And I watch her say, Anderson, you know, I'm hearing stories that maybe they didn't hit their target, maybe it wasn't that good a hit. And, yeah, we're hearing stories. The next day, it was a little more, and the next day, little more. After three, four days, she was saying, you know, I don't know.
I don't think it was that except by that time, everybody knew it was hit perfectly. The evidence is in the planes. The evidence will the pilots are the best evidence. But they actually came out of their plane because they were here the other day and they said it was so sad. We did such a good job.
We flew into very dangerous airspace. I'll never forget we were in the situation room. And then they said they have entered Iranian airspace. And everyone took a deep breath because they had more missiles pointed at them, but the equipment is so good. It's stealth, way up in the air, and it was stealth.
And they went right through that, and they sort of by the time they found out they were there, they were already gone. That was the word skedaddle. Get the hell out of here. But they were right in most dangerous airspace in the world, and they took those big, beautiful, very fast they're unbelievable planes. I mean, they've become really beautiful works of art.
You know, I always thought they sort of were cool, but now they look better than just cool, don't they? But they dropped the loads and literally, they would hit if you look at this table from here to there, they had a a half a refrigerator door is the way to best explain it. Take a refrigerator door, average size, cut it in half. That was their target. They hit every single one.
Then we had 30 missiles, Tomahawks shot from submarines 300 miles away. Every one of them hit their target. It was a perfect mission. Then they came back almost thirty seven hours. Every plane worked perfectly.
The mechanics were here too. We I said, you gotta get the mechanics here. We didn't have any problems. If you remember, they had a lot of problems with the helicopters, but they did fly through a dust storm, which they shouldn't have done. Sometimes you say, let's go back and try it on a nicer day.
Dust and sand don't work well with helicopters, if you know much about helicopters. But that was a horrible embarrassment to us. Then we had Afghanistan, which I think was the most embarrassing moment in the history of our country. And we would have gotten out I was I was the one that got them down. I would have kept Bagram, the big airbase, which right now is controlled by China, among the most powerful runways in the world.
Thick, thick with concrete and steel. Anything could land. And right now, they were one hour away from where China makes its nuclear weapons. I was keeping it. Outside of that, we were leaving, and I would have been out faster than them, but we would have gotten out with strength and dignity.
And said that was the most botched up mess I've ever seen. They left all that equipment behind. And every year, they have a a parade running down some Third Rate Street with the equipment. You know, it's supposed to be Fifth Avenue. It doesn't work.
But with all that equipment that they left, they should have taken every ounce of it. I was taking every said, every screw, every bolt, every nail, you take out of there. And Milley said, I remember one time, sir, we're better off leaving the equipment. Why? Well, it's cheaper.
I said, cheaper? You mean it's cheaper to leave a $150,000,000 airplane rather than fly it again to Pakistan or India or someplace or just flying it straight home. It's cheap. Yes, sir. That's when I knew he was an idiot.
Didn't take long to figure that one out. But they left all that equipment, but they left their dignity behind. It was the most embarrassing moment, in my opinion, in the history of our country. Not that we got out. We should have not been there, but that we got out the way we got out with great embarrassment and death.
You had 13 young people. I've gotten to know their families very well, but you had hundreds of people killed that nobody talks about. Yet the other side, many people were killed. Many people are walking around with no legs, no arms, that whole thing. They left from the wrong airport.
They should have left from Bagram because Bagram was a big base with hundreds of miles of of, you know, fencing and territory around it. Nobody would be able to get near it. And they left. So, you know, we've done we've done a great job. And I think people are really starting to see it.
They're starting to appreciate it. Pete's done fantastically. That mission was was a work of art. And I have spoken to some of our perceived I don't know if they're enemies, but they're perceived as being potential enemies. And they essentially said the same thing.
Very impressive. There wasn't a thing that we didn't even we didn't lose an engine. We didn't lose it just they landed and they were cheered. But the sad thing was they were cheered, and one of the pilots said, you know, we were a little concerned because when we got out, we were told that on television, they were reporting that we may have missed our targets. Sir, we hit every target.
That's what I do for a living. We hit every target. In fact, when I saw, when we dropped when the bombs hit, a yellow haze came over the horizon that I've never seen before. It just lit up the whole horizon brighter than the sun. It was like looking into the sun.
He goes, we hit our target because you know what that was that was exploding. And but they were a little downbeat because they listened to that fake CNN reporting and the fake New York Times. They worked together to try and say that it wasn't wasn't perfect. They couldn't say what they missed. All they could say is maybe it wasn't perfect.
And you ought to fire that reporter immediately. You should fire her real fake. And so I just wanna congratulate those pilots. And, you know, a lot of people don't like bringing things like that up. I do.
I always like confronting because otherwise, the public doesn't know that you're a bunch of crooked people. But but they know. They've learned. And the media has to straighten out their act. You know, the media is down to 17% approval.
You gotta do a little better than that. It's important for the country that you do better. I think they ought to make a lot of changes. I think changes are gonna be made to the media, but it's hard to have a really successful country if you have a corrupt media, and we really have corrupt media. And nobody really knows why.
I mean, why would you wanna have open borders and criminals pouring into our country? Why would you wanna have men playing in women's sports, transgender for everyone? You know? You'll have to figure that out. But some of you don't.
I mean, I'm looking at some people, they love the country. But I look at other people and they can't. But we're really proud of our military. It was and and and the people that maybe don't like us or wanna play games with us because I think that had you not had the situation in Afghanistan, I don't think Putin would have gone in. I think when Putin looked at how stupid and incompetent that operation was, he said, wow, this might be a chance.
And he's we're dealing with him now too. That's we're not happy with Putin. I'm not happy with Putin. I can tell you that much right now because he's killing a lot of people. And a lot of them are his soldiers.
His soldiers and their soldiers, mostly. And it's now up to 7,000 a week, and I'm not happy with Putin. Okay. Any questions? Yes.
Speaker 6: Yes, sir. You just said that you're not happy with Vladimir Putin. Is there anything that you plan to do to act on that feeling of unhappy
Speaker 0: I wouldn't be telling you. Don't we wanna have a little surprise? You know, one of the things we did with the attack is that and you asked that question. Wish I don't wanna I didn't mean to be rude, but I'm gonna rude because I'm looking at some of these crooked people up here. So I'm rude, but your question was asked very nicely.
But one of the things we did is we we went over every fact. We wanted to get every fact straight. We wanted to have the distance straight, the number of pilots straight. Everything had to be correct because we wanna be this was a very important mission. If we failed on this mission, it's it was beyond the the war that, you know, obviously, we had with Iran and Israel.
A lot of hatred, a lot of years and years of hatred, centuries of hatred. They've never people have never seen anything like it. So we wanted to be correct with all our facts. So, you know, what I was doing is just asking, it would be great if if if the media would be correct with their facts. That's all we ask for.
And go ahead. So finish it up.
Speaker 6: Oh, yes. Just returning back to Russia. If there's anything that you would signal about your displeasure with them.
Speaker 0: Well, I'm just look. I'm very unhappy with them. No reason for this. It's it's turned out to be tougher, but it's it's only tougher. And and I will say the Ukrainians were brave, but we gave them the best equipment ever made.
We gave them the anti tank posters that knocked out tanks. I mean, you just aim them in the direction of the tank and the tank is gone. We gave them missiles, the latest and the greatest. They were able to shoot down a lot of things that would have normally wiped out. You know, probably would have been a very quick war.
It would have been a war that lasted three, four days. But they had the benefit of unbelievable equipment. And Europe gave them too. We gave them far more because Biden shouldn't have done that. He should have equalized.
And should we should have given him the same, or we should have given actually less than Europe. It affects Europe much more than us. But we're in there for over $300,000,000,000. Europe is in there for over 100,000,000,000. But still, Europe gave And a I will say this, the Ukrainians, whether you think it's unfair that we gave all that money or not, they were very brave because somebody had to operate that stuff.
And a lot of people I know wouldn't be operating operating it. It. They wouldn't have the courage to do it. So they fought very bravely. But we gave them the the best equipment in the world.
We make the best military equipment by far. There's nobody close. You look at other equipment from other countries, it's not even close. That's why everybody wants to buy our equipment. And that's why we're gonna step up these contractors now that make it, and they're brilliant, but they make it too slowly.
And we have to step them up, Pete, and let them make it at a much higher rate. Unfortunately, we have to do that. But if you look at our Patriots, if you look at our Tomahawks, if you look at our well, what we do with tanks is you wouldn't wanna be driving a tank. You would feel nice and secure, but they are javelins, they're called. And I gave them the javelins.
Remember they said Trump gave the javelins and Obama gave them sheets. Right? They called Obama at that time. Barack Hussein Obama, if you haven't heard. Did a terrible job.
But that was a war that that was a war that should have never happened, and a lot of people are dying, and it should end. And I don't know. We get we get we get a lot of bullshit thrown at us by Putin, for you wanna know the truth. He's very nice all the time, but it turns out to be meaningless.
Speaker 7: Do you want to sanction him? Once the agreement has a sanctions bill on Russia, do you
Speaker 0: want him to I'm looking at it. Yeah. No. I'm looking. The senate is passing passing and passed a very, very tough sanctions bill.
Yeah. I'm looking at it.
Speaker 7: And you said that?
Speaker 0: It's an optional bill. It's totally at my option. They passed it totally at my option and to terminate totally at my option. And I'm looking at it very strongly.
Speaker 7: Yesterday, you said that
Speaker 2: the Go ahead. Council of Economic Advisors released a new report saying that that imported goods have actually decreased in
Speaker 0: price from December. I know.
Speaker 2: It's that very important. Well, my my question
Speaker 0: is With the tariffs.
Speaker 2: Well, the Fed chairman keeps saying that tariffs are going to cause price increases. Are prices just
Speaker 0: not Chairman of the Fed?
Speaker 2: Yes. Exactly.
Speaker 8: The other prices
Speaker 0: You do a better job than that.
Speaker 9: Thank you.
Speaker 2: Are the prices just not passed through yet?
Speaker 0: No. I think what's happening is everything's evening out. You know, when we charge see, what people don't understand, the other countries have been charged almost every country charges Us tariffs. We had deficits with everybody for years, for for decades. And we were like this big model that that made bad deals with everybody.
We, you know, we rebuilt South Korea. We stayed there. It's okay. We rebuilt it, and we stayed there. And they pay us very little for the military.
I got them to pay billions of dollars, and Biden then canceled it when he came in. You know, I said to South Korea, as an example, you know, we give you free military essentially, very little. And I think you should pay us $10,000,000,000 a year. And they went crazy. But they agreed to three.
So I got three with a phone call, and I was satisfied. I said, but next year we have to talk. And then we had a rigged election, we never got to talk. And you know what Biden did? He they probably went to him and they said, listen, Trump treated us terribly, and we shouldn't be paying anything.
And he cut it down to nothing. So that's what happens. It's ridiculous. That's the other thing. We're talking to countries contributing to the military.
Not only just paying more on NATO, but contributing. You know, we have 45,000 soldiers in South Korea. We have 45,000 soldiers in Germany, 52,000 actually. And, you know, that's a huge economic development for them. That's tremendous amount.
That's like having a city. It's tremendous money for them and it's a tremendous loss for us. So we're talking in a very nice way, we're talking to them about it. It's very unfair. We supply the militaries to many very successful country.
I mean, South Korea is making a lot of money, and they're very good. They're very good. But, you know, they should be paying for their own military.
Speaker 8: President Trump, can I ask you a question about Jerome Powell as well? And then the question
Speaker 0: to the The question to
Speaker 8: know what? Jerome Powell. And then I have a question for the attorney general. Jerome Powell, who you've been pressuring to lower interest rates, he's facing accusations of lying to Congress, which is a potential crime about the He
Speaker 0: should resign immediately. We should get somebody in there that's gonna lower interest rates.
Speaker 8: Do you want congressional
Speaker 0: Why don't you call for his resignation?
Speaker 8: Do want congressional Republicans to investigate and
Speaker 0: proceed Stay with me. I think he's terrible. Look. We're paying I call him too late. T o o.
Too late. Like, tall Jones for the Dallas Cowboys. Right? Too late. He's always late.
But he wasn't late with Biden before the election. He was cutting him like crazy. It didn't help too much, did it? But he was cutting him like crazy before the election with Kamala and Biden. He was trying to get them in, I guess.
I don't know. He was recommended by somebody that worked for me. I like you better.
Speaker 1: If I could
Speaker 0: ask the attorney
Speaker 8: general question
Speaker 10: too, Mr.
Speaker 0: President. Sure.
Speaker 8: And your memo and release yesterday with Jeffrey Epstein Yes. It left some lingering mysteries. One of the biggest ones is whether he ever worked for a American or foreign intelligence agency. The former labor secretary who was Miami US attorney, Alex Costa, he allegedly said that he did work for an intelligence agency. So could you resolve whether or not he did?
And also, could you say why there was a minute missing from the jailhouse tape on the night instead?
Speaker 11: Yeah. Sure. If I
Speaker 0: could Could I just interrupt for a Are you still talking about Jeffrey Epstein? This guy's been talked about for years. You're asking we have Texas, we have this, we have all of the things and we are people still talking about this guy, this creep? That is Do you wanna waste the time on it? Do you feel like answering?
Speaker 11: I I don't mind answering,
Speaker 0: but I mean, can't believe you're asking a question on Epstein at a time like this where we're having some of the greatest success and and also tragedy with what happened in Texas. It just seems like a desecration, but you go ahead.
Speaker 11: Sure. Sure. First, to back up on that, in February, I did an interview on Fox, and it's been getting a lot of attention because I said I was asked a question about the client list, and my response was, it's sitting on my desk to be reviewed, meaning the file along with the JFK MLK files as well. That's what I meant by that. Also, to the tens of thousands of video, they turned out to be child porn downloaded by that disgusting Jeffrey Epstein.
Child porn is what they were. Never gonna be released. Never gonna see the light of day. To him being an agent, I have no knowledge about that. We can get back to you on that.
And the minute missing from the video, we released the video showing definitively the video was not conclusive, but the evidence prior to it was showing he committed suicide. And what was on that, there was a minute that was off the counter. And what we learned from Bureau of Prisons was every year every night, they redo that video. It's old from, like, 1999. So every night, the video is reset, and every night should have the same minute missing.
So we're looking for that video to release that as well, showing that a minute is missing every night. And that's it Epstein.
Speaker 2: Okay. Thanks. President On the tariffs on the tariffs again, August 1, you said it is the deadline. What incentives do countries have to negotiate? It seems that deadline keeps moving.
It it was April 2, and now it's
Speaker 0: We never have done them. It was always been August 1. That's what we're paying. A statement was put out today, and I put it out just to make it clear. It wasn't a change.
It was August 1. We don't change very much. You know, every time we put out a statement, they say, he made a change. I didn't make a change. Clarification, maybe.
No. August 1, they pay. And everybody pays. Everybody has to pay. And the incentive is that they have the right to deal in The United States.
If they don't want to, they don't have to pay and they don't have to deal here. But if they want to buy and make a lot of money and sell, in The United States, they have to do that. You know, if you go back and look at some of the good presidents our country was the wealthiest, proportionately the wealthiest. From 1870 to 1913, it was an all tariff country. We didn't have income tax.
That came due in '9 that came in in 1913 with tariffs. And we had so much money, we didn't know what to do with it. We had I mean, we had a couple of presidents that were very, very strong. McKinley, I guess, more than anybody, but he was the tariff king, but he was very, very strong. Was sort of sad.
He he made a fortune for this country, became very rich. And then Teddy Roosevelt went out, the vice president, and he spent the money. And they said Roosevelt was a great president. And let's say he was a great president, but the money was paid by McKinley with tariffs. Tariffs, are charged by other countries at levels that are ridiculous.
And, you know, I call those other countries. And and every one of them is willing to give us everything now, by the way, just so you know. Sir, we'll charge you no tariffs. Nothing. We'll give you everything.
Access to our markets. We'll give you everything. Is that a correct statement, Scott?
Speaker 4: Yes, sir.
Speaker 0: Howard, would you say that's a correct statement?
Speaker 12: Exactly correct.
Speaker 0: It's like they just don't because they're very spoiled because for years they ripped us off and we didn't have a president that understood it or secretary of treasury or secretary of of a lot of different secretaries are involved. But certainly, secretary was, you know, not doing their job. I don't know about Kelly. She's small business. We we'll keep it that way.
Okay. Her small business is bigger than almost all big
Speaker 12: businesses when you have it all up.
Speaker 0: But, no, they are very respectful of our country. But the incentive is that they have the right to do business with us. Without that, they don't have the right to do business. And that would be okay too.
Speaker 2: And what the deals Yeah. Hear in the next twenty four hours, we'll hear a flurry of deals.
Speaker 0: Yeah. We have a lot of them going out. But the deals are mostly my deal to them. We're picking a number that's low. We don't wanna hurt them.
And fair. We're picking a number that's lower than, in most cases, lower than what they charged us. But it's amazing when you've paid all this money for years and they get one president that's a little bit different and a little tougher on this subject, and they're willing to drop everything they've been charging us for years and years.
Speaker 3: I mean, we have countries going we will have
Speaker 0: no you don't have to pay any tariff to come in and do business. They're giving us total access to their countries. They gave us no access to the country. They said, well, you cannot go into a okay. Good.
Now it's we will give you total access and you don't have to pay any tariffs, But please don't charge us tariffs. And we don't like that deal. So the letters I sent out are we have made some deals. We can make a lot more deals. It's just too time consuming.
It just makes it more complicated. And we can do things over the years too. You know, we're gonna we're not gonna we're not hardline. But it's about time The United States Of America started collecting money from countries that were ripping us off, ripping us off, and laughing behind our back at how stupid we were. Okay?
Thank you.
Speaker 13: Mister president mister president Hello, can you hear me?
Speaker 14: The on the tariff issue. So you talked about India coming. But then a couple days ago, you issued a new tariff threat to members of the BRICS countries for Yeah. If they align with anti American policies
Speaker 0: 10% charge.
Speaker 14: That would be India, Brazil
Speaker 0: That's right. They have to pay 10% if they're in BRICS. Because BRICS was set up to hurt us. BRICS was set up to degenerate our dollar and take our dollar as the standard, take it off as the standard. And that's okay if they wanna play that game, but I can play that game too.
So anybody that's in BRICS is getting a 10% charge.
Speaker 14: Is that immediate, sir? Or
Speaker 3: is Yeah. That
Speaker 0: Pretty soon.
Speaker 14: If they engage in something, get you?
Speaker 0: Oh, if they're a member of BRICS, they're gonna have to pay 10% tariff just for that one thing, and they won't be a member alone. I thought BRICS was you know, I said this about a year ago, and it largely broke up. But, you know, there are a couple that hang around, but I thought it largely broke up. BRICS is not, in my opinion, not a serious threat. But what they're trying to do is destroy the dollar so that another country can take over and be the standard.
And we're not gonna lose the standard at any time. If you have a smart president, you will never lose the standard. If you have a stupid president like the last one, you would lose the standard. You wouldn't you wouldn't have the dollar as a year. And if we lost the the world standard dollar, that would be like losing a war, a major world war.
We would not be the same country any longer. We're not gonna let that happen. The dollar you ever hear the expression dollar is king? The dollar is king. We're gonna keep it that way.
Okay? And and I'm just saying if people wanna challenge it, they can, but they're gonna have to pay a big price. And I don't think any of them are willing to pay that price. Well, the European Union has been speaking to us, Ursula, and the whole group, and they've been very nice. They treated us very badly until recently.
Now they're treating us very nicely. It's like a different world, actually. They've treated us very badly. They were among the toughest to deal with. Actually, in many respects, they were much worse than China.
Look at what they do to our companies. They sue Apple. They sue Google. 17,000,000,000 they got from Apple on a lawsuit that they didn't have a case. They have, you know, judges that are European Union judges.
And they ruled they take so much money away from our country in terms of that, in terms of other things that they do. They're very tough, but now they're being very nice to us. And we'll see what happens. We're probably two days off from sending them a letter. We are talking to them.
I I just want you to know, a letter means a deal. You know, lot of people said, you we got 200 countries. We can't meet with 200 countries. We have a few trusted people that know what they're doing, that are doing a good job, but you can't do it. You have to do it in a more general way, but it's a very good way.
It's a better way. It's a more powerful way. And we sent him a letter. You read the letter. I think it was well crafted.
And mostly, it's just a little number in there. You'll pay 25%, 35%. We have some at sixty, seventy. Those are ones with massive you know, where we have massive trade deficits because they've treated us very badly. But I would say in every case, I'm treating them better than they treated us over the years.
Don't you agree with that? I'm I'm I could've done much I could've been much harsher. I don't wanna do that. We wanna have relationships. But but in every case, they treated us far worse than I'm treating them.
I'm treating them very good. I could go higher with the tariffs, but I don't wanna hurt them. That's why when you just read it, you you come up with the number. It's so incredible that prices are actually going down. Just so you know, when I got in, everyone said, oh, eggs.
Eggs are going through the roof. That was the first I was in for about four days and they started screaming at me about eggs. They said, that's Biden's problem. I didn't know about eggs. But eggs went up about five times.
You did a fantastic job. And we ended up shortly get in fact, for Easter, they said go out and buy plastic eggs. You can't use real eggs. Well, we bought 200,000 eggs for the White House for the Easter egg hunt that we have at the White House, and there were eggs. We had the price down, and now the price is lower than it was before.
We did a good job with eggs, but we did a good good job with groceries. Prices are down in this country. A big part of it is oil, the oil. You you have you had couple of places last week. You had a dollar 99 for oil, for gasoline.
Nobody thought they'd see that. I wanna get it lower if I can. But we're we've done a good job. You've done a very good job. Do wanna say a couple of words about that, you and Chris, about what's happening with energy?
Speaker 15: Well, absolutely. But I would say on the on the pricing side, President Trump, the fact that you've endorsed and supported policy of energy dominance, that sends a signal to the market that we're gonna have more supply. You talked during the campaign about inflation being a country buster. You've broken the back of inflation. We've in six months, among all the other things you've accomplished.
Speaker 0: We have no inflation.
Speaker 15: And we've got and then heading into the July 4, these were the lowest gas prices at the pump in four years. And again, for Americans, this is this is like hundreds of billions of dollars of that stay in their pockets because we lowered the price of gas at the pump. But when we lowered the price of energy, it lowers the price of food, it lowers the price of every the clothes you wear.
Speaker 0: It's the biggest thing.
Speaker 15: It's the biggest thing.
Speaker 0: It's like a big tax cut. When you get energy down, every 50¢ is like a massive tax cut, and we've gotten it down much below that. You know, we had great energy, great low prices, everything else. When the election turned over I'm being I'm trying to be nice about it. It turned over, shockingly, but nevertheless, it happened.
Energy started going up, and it it went up really bad. And then it went back to the Trump policy. The problem was they didn't know how to do that, and he lost it. He lost that sucker. That big sucker was out of control, and his energy prices went way up, and that's what caused it.
But it was also stupid spending. He's they spent money, like they used to use the term drunken sailors, but I won't use that term. Although it is very descriptive. I won't use that term. I refuse to to use it.
But they spent money at levels that nobody had ever seen before. And trillions and trillions of dollars wasted on the Green News scam, greatest scam in the history of our country, other than maybe Russia, Russia, Russia. That might have been. But the Green New scam was the single greatest scam in the history of our country and continues to be, but it's weakened badly. It's hobbling along because people are finally they're finally getting it.
But they spent trillions of dollars on the Green News scam getting nothing for it. Devised by a couple of young people that weren't even good college students. You know? Not even good students. Check out their marks.
Speaker 13: It's Mr. Will Jobs. That's something that Mr.
Speaker 0: President No. Not for CNN.
Speaker 3: He's in
Speaker 13: the last
Speaker 0: Not for CNN. Go ahead.
Speaker 13: The last jobs report in the
Speaker 2: last jobs report, Mr. President, in the last jobs report, the manufacturing jobs actually lost 7,000 jobs. When will the investments that you've been talking about have an effect on
Speaker 0: Well, they're building the plants now. About seven have started. We're gonna have hundreds started within a short period of time. Lee Zeldin, who may be the most important man in this room, I'm sorry, but he's the one that gets the permits. Where is Lee?
He's the one that has to get the permits for the plants and the factories and permits that used to take five years. He's getting in record setting times. AI, we're leading China a lot in AI. And if we go with this, you know, I'm allowing the plants to build their own electric. They'll be I'm allowing them to become a an electric utility so they can produce their own electricity Because we need double the elect to be successful with AI, which is the biggest thing now, we need double the electricity that we have, which is hard to believe.
We need even more than that. And they're building plants with their own electricity sub stations. They don't have to use the grid. And anything they build extra, they're putting into the grid. So we're supplying the grid with brand new electric sources.
And, you know, it's funny, when they came to see me, they never even asked for that. I told them about it. The reason they didn't, they thought that was an impossibility. You're not allowed to build your own electric. These are massive investments that are being made in building electricity for their plants.
And they're gonna have, I think, Doug, a lot of electricity left over, and that electricity is gonna be passed into the grid and give us no more you know, like, you look at California, they have blackouts and brownouts every week. It's they they're totally out of control. They have a really incompetent governor. Where's Chris? Is he here?
I'm here. Wanna speak to the subject?
Speaker 13: Yeah. I think a huge thing in the one big beautiful bill, mister president, because of your leadership, is the ending of these subsidies, as you call them, the green new scam. That saves our country a half a trillion dollars over next ten years. But American taxpayers were paying twice. They're paying that money a half a trillion dollars in the subsidies, and they were paying more expensive electricity price.
If you subsidize something, you should at least lower the cost of it. But in this case, we were subsidizing something and paying more for it. So the big one big beautiful bill had two huge things, ending wasteful spending. Wind, solar, and batteries combined are 3% of US total primary energy. 3% for a trillion dollars, another half a trillion dollars coming.
That's just not a good investment, hurting our businesses, hurting our consumers. And the one big beautiful bill also unshackled oil, gas, and coal development in The United States, onshore and offshore. Secretary Bergem has been working tirelessly on how by getting getting the government out of the way, private businesses will develop more resources in The United States, lowering cost for American consumers, and making much better leverage for The United States to help our allies abroad and reduce the power of our adversaries abroad. So just a huge win in the energy front all around, and I thank you for your leadership.
Speaker 0: We're we're setting we're setting records now on energy, and and there'll be nothing compared to what they'll be in about a year from now. But we're setting records. And wind is a very expensive form of energy. It's very bad for your beautiful surroundings, the plains, the valleys, the birds dying all over the place. You know, the whole thing is a disaster.
They're almost exclusively made in China. Not that I have anything against China because I don't have a great relationship with President Xi. But I asked him, how many wind farms do you have? He makes them, but they don't have a lot of wind farms, I'll tell you. Very, very few.
And it wind is tremendously expensive and is very ugly. And if you own a house that's inside of a windmill, your house is worth less than half and people and you hear noises. And interestingly, in New England, you probably read where for fifty years, they had two whales washed up. Fifty years. And last summer, they had 14 washed up.
Now, I'm not saying that's the wind farm that was built, but maybe it is. Right? Probably is. It's tremendously expensive, and it can only be done with subsidy. You know, I know a man that's in that business, and one of the biggest in the world actually runs a company that builds these stupid windmills.
And he said, I hate the business because it's the only energy where you need subsidy. He said, energy shouldn't need subsidy. You should make money with energy. So when the other one is the solar, those big solar fields. They're taking our farmland.
Our farmers are mortified by it. They hate it. It's very, very inefficient and very ugly too. You know, probably better than a windmill, but you go around and you see all these things that are three miles long by three miles wide, and you say, what the hell is that? And it's a lot of plastic from China.
It's plastic, black plastic from China. No. We don't we wanna be smart. We're going with look. China right now is building 58 coal fired plants.
58. Big ones. They have 62 on the books to build. We are we've reintroduced clean, beautiful coal because, you know, you can do a lot with coal now. Clean, beautiful coal and natural gas and all of the other things that we have.
But we don't wind and we don't want solar because they're a blight on our country. They hurt our country very badly, and smart countries don't use it. Solar sounds good, I will say. And I like, on occasion, you'll see a roof which is made out of solar brick and and but it's a a smaller use. We need the kind of thing that's gonna fire up our plants, and it's not gonna be wind, you know, that is very intermittent as you probably know.
But we they have they've spent a fortune. They've spent trillions of dollars on this stuff. And and I'll just give you one other story. A friend of mine is a very successful guy. He went back to see his mother in Minnesota.
He hadn't seen her in a long time, and he wasn't back for ten years, which isn't a nice story. I mean, you don't see a mother for ten years. She's got some difficulties, which I know the guy. He does have some difficulties. He's very successful, but probably not the nicest person.
It was actually longer than ten years, but he went back and he told me he wanted to go and look at the valley. There's a valley in Minnesota that he thought was so beautiful. And I hadn't seen it in a long time. He's driving along the road. He said, oh my I'll use the word gosh.
Oh my gosh. He said, oh. Oh. He said, it looked like a junk You had a 159 windmills. They were all over the place.
Some were old, some were newer, different companies, different shapes, different sizes, different colors. Many of them were terminated. Terminated meaning clothes. You can't take them down because the environmentalists don't let you bury the blades because they're made out of a fiber. They say it's bad for the earth.
So they want you to put them up, but they don't let you take them down. But many of them were turned off. He said it looked like a junkyard. Go to Palm Springs, California and take a look at that pile of junk. And you go you go into a wealthy neighborhood.
Before you get there, you have to ride through hundreds of windmills that are most of them are turned off. They're rotting. They're rusting. They're 30 years old, 20 years old, and they have a very short life. You know, those windmills have a very short life, especially the ones that are in the nice salty Atlantic Ocean and Pacific Ocean where the salt just gets on that steel and decimates it.
Now, it's a horrible, horrible thing for our country. And I speak out. It would be nice to say wind because it sounds so good, doesn't it? Wind. Wind.
But it's not it's these ugly machines, and they're all made you gotta see, some are a little taller, a little shorter. They're made by different companies. They have different stocks. They have different blades. They have different is so horrible.
And if you look at smart countries, they don't use it. Smart countries don't use it. And we're now a smart country. We're not a we're a brilliant country. We're not smart.
Brilliant now. We're gonna be a brilliant country. We have to be because we have to catch up for some really stupid people that did a bad job. Yes, Brian?
Speaker 3: Yes. Mister president, I've got a quick comment, some feedback as a native Texan, someone that I grew up bringing my kids to a camp very near the the affected camp now. Thank you on behalf of Texas. I've gotten hundreds of messages that I wanna thank. Because if you're in the cabinet room, you can tell the president and his team, on behalf of Texans, thank you so much for the quick response and the loving and the hugs I saw that that you gave.
Quick two quick questions.
Speaker 0: I saw a Palestinian senator. His name is Shimmer. He's a great Palestinian. No. He's a Palestinian.
He's become a Palestinian. He's abandoned the Jews. But I saw him say, it's Trump's fault. Yeah. Yeah.
That's right. It's Trump's fault. He was actually do you ever see John Lovitz, The Liar? Where he goes, yeah. Yeah.
I went to Harvard. That's right. I'm a visit. This was Schumer. He goes, yeah.
Yeah. It's Trump's fault. That's right. It's Trump. I actually saw that stupid guy try and blame it on me.
And I said, man, that's that's a tough one to take. But his his career is limited because I hear AOC is gonna beat him, and she's no bargain either, by the way. Go ahead.
Speaker 3: Well, I'm just saying that's an example of an America First team effort to bring to get this country back. So that's what America First looks like for the viewers watching us at home. I have two questions. Looks like we have a rogue judge, an Obama backed rogue judge that is attempting to block the funding to Planned Parenthood, which the big beautiful bill cuts off the funding to Planned Parenthood. Any plans to challenge
Speaker 0: that? Go ahead.
Speaker 11: Absolutely. Yes. We're on it. We're on it. And I texted, I believe, I talked to yesterday, secretary Lutnick and secretary Besson.
I reached out to you to let you know that that we were on it in the big beautiful bill.
Speaker 0: Wonderful. And then my I let her handle that question. You noticed? I said, go ahead. Handle that question.
Speaker 3: That's awesome to her. Then my second question was secretary Rollins. You did an amazing press conference today in front of the Department of Agriculture. You talked about the Farm Act and the need to get China out of our country, owning farmland for the viewers at home that might have missed that. Can you recap what that means to national security to make sure we can grow our own food?
Speaker 16: Well, thank you, Brian. Sir, Yes. If you don't This morning, Secretary Hegseth, Secretary Noam, and Attorney General Bondi and I had a press conference at the USDA. I just happened to have a chart in case it came up. But obviously, the Chinese owning of farmland in our country is massive national security issue.
And for the media, you can see the yellow is where all of the farms have been purchased over the last number of years, and the red is around all of the military bases where that farmland has been purchased. So this is a massive national security issue. The press conference this morning included three of our greatest governors as well, Sarah Sanders from Arkansas, Jim Pillen from Nebraska, and Bill Lee from Tennessee. The states have begun taking a leadership role to ban the purchasing of China farmland. Obviously, congress needs to step up and catch up, and we're gonna be working alongside of them as well.
We have some of our members great members of congress there. But but it is time, and I think that this morning was symbolic of many things. The first of this administration working every day to effectuate president Trump's leadership and unequivocal support of America first. But second, just how close we are as a cabinet. I don't know in any other administration that you'd have four cabinet members at the USDA on a Tuesday morning when it's about a 110 degrees outside with the sun beating down on us talking about, sir, you're efficient.
So I think it was a great day. It was just the start. There's an executive order coming and some other things coming behind that. But protecting America's farms isn't just about protecting our farmers, it's also about national security. So that's what we discussed this morning.
Speaker 0: I do wanna say that I think we have had a really good relationship with China lately, and we're getting along with them very well. They've been very fair on our trade deal, honestly. And I hope we're gonna have a great relationship. It's a big, strong, powerful country. We're more powerful than they are.
We have much better military equipment than they do. But we are getting along with them very well. I'm getting along with President Xi very well. We speak often. And with all of that being said, and I understand what you're saying, but I think we're getting along with China very
Speaker 13: well. Mister President,
Speaker 7: you asked that more weapons to Ukraine, as you said last night. Last week,
Speaker 1: the Pentagon paused some shipments
Speaker 7: of weapons to Ukraine. Did you approve of that pause?
Speaker 0: We wanna put defensive weapons because Putin is not he's not, treating human beings right. He's killing too many people. So we're sending, some defensive weapons to Ukraine, and I've approved that.
Speaker 1: So who ordered a pause last week?
Speaker 0: I don't know. Why don't you tell me?
Speaker 7: I think that's a question.
Speaker 0: Go ahead.
Speaker 2: Mister Chairman, on immigration, the the secretary, Derek Rolschifter, did say this morning that undocumented workers would not be covered by any amnesty of working on farms. You have said maybe that the ISO folks won't go after those folks on farms.
Speaker 0: So so we just There's no amnesty. What we're doing is we're getting rid of criminals, but we are doing a work program. Do you wanna explain that, please?
Speaker 16: Yeah. This morning, we talked about of course, this was a top of mind question. This morning, we talked about protecting the farmers and the farmland. But, obviously, this president's vision of no amnesty, mass deportation continues, but in a strategic way, and then ensuring that our farmers have the labor that they need. Secretary Chavez Dremer has been a leader on this.
Obviously, this comes out of the Labor Department. But moving toward automation, ensuring that our our farmers have that workforce, and moving toward an American workforce. So all of the above We're
Speaker 0: gonna give the farmers the people they need, but we're not talking amnesty. Lori, do you wanna say something about that?
Speaker 17: Yeah. Thank you, mister president. On this thank you, secretary Rollins. How important this is never to displace the American worker. What the Department of Labor is doing is focusing on what the law entails now, being more modernized, more streamlining, to work through the age programs.
We're gonna have a concierge approach to that, where we have, you know, developed a new office to answer the need of our farmers and ranchers and producers and not to displace the American worker and follow within the law now, and that does not include an amnesty program at all. And we've seen that working, and we'll continue to have that roll out. On the other topics that we've somewhat talked about, the jobs numbers, mister president, four months in a row, we've seen those jobs numbers increase. That's an exciting time for our manufacturers. That was asked earlier.
We know it's gonna take some time, but through that deregulation process that Lee and I are working on as well, the Department of Labor has rolled out 60 through 63 new deregulations that we're gonna be moving through in the first Trump administration, it was successful with over 30. We've just rolled out 63 new ones in order to double down on those manufacturing companies to let them know that we have signaled through this process that we will assist them in getting the workforce that they need. It's an exciting time. That one big beautiful bill, that was the signal to my former colleagues in congress to get this done. It's been an important time.
I spent time on the ground visiting seven states in nine days prior to that bill being passed because it was the most pro worker piece of legislation that we will ever see really in this country right now. No tax on tips. No tax on overtime. No tax on Social Security. That matters to the American worker because we don't wanna take their money and give it back.
We want them to keep more of their hard earned dollars in their pockets currently, and that's what they're excited about. And as I move forward with this tariff talks, I heard a company, orthopedic company in Indiana, say to me, for the first time since you have taken office, mister president, their increase in their bottom line by 8% since these tariff talks have happened. Not one company has said the president is not doing a good job. These tariffs talks are working. They're feeling it on the ground.
The media has told a false story because what's happening on the ground is positive, and that's what seeing in these jobs numbers. So I really through the Department of Labor to come in behind all the secretaries and build this workforce is gonna be key to the American workers. So thank you for what everybody did this last week. The one big beautiful bill is a doubling down of this, and we're gonna see these workers start to grow. And that apprenticeship program is gonna be working.
Speaker 1: We'll have
Speaker 17: that million apprentices across the country.
Speaker 0: We you know, as you know, we're building plants all over the country now, which we you weren't building any plants four years ago. You weren't building anything. But those plants, when they open up, it's gonna be you'll see numbers like you haven't seen ever. I don't think in history, you'll see you'll never see numbers like what we're going to see in the very near future. Many of them are building the plants.
Some are just starting right now. You know, it's a brand new administration. But and they wouldn't be here except for two things, November 5, the election, and the tariffs. And frankly, I guess the election was more important because of tariffs. I mean, another person wouldn't have done this.
But they're coming in because of the tariffs. They have to they they're not gonna pay 25, 30, 40, 50 percent, 70, and a 100%. And we'll be announcing something very soon on pharmaceuticals. We're gonna give people about a year, a year and a half to come in. And after that, they're gonna be tariffed if they have to bring the pharmaceuticals into the country, the drugs and other things into the country.
They're gonna be tariffed at a very, very high rate, like 200%. We'll give them a certain period of time to get their act together. But they were all here. Now they all left. They went to other places because we allowed people that sat in this room allowed it to happen.
And I don't allow it to happen. The people in this room don't allow pharmaceuticals, chips, and various couple of other things, you know, big ones. We did seal, as you know, they're 50%. We did aluminum, 50%. Lumber just came out.
Why don't you announce copper? And we did cars. Cars. And now, today, we're doing copper.
Speaker 2: Copper moan. What what would that tariff be on? The section
Speaker 0: I believe the tariff on copper, we're gonna make it 50%. 50%.
Speaker 7: Breakthroughs in
Speaker 0: our Jim, Lenny didn't question.
Speaker 7: I just
Speaker 0: Any breakthroughs I sort of just sort of thought, what would that be? That was a quick one. I didn't have much time. But he he agreed with me. That's why he's out.
Speaker 13: He said
Speaker 7: that he's on Gaza with the prime minister, and and there's reports that you're meeting with
Speaker 0: Yeah. Am. He's gonna come over again tonight. We're talking about Gaza. It's mostly Gaza right now.
It's he's he's done he's been very unfairly treated. I think what they've done to him in Israel is very unfair having to do with this trial. You know, he's a wartime prime minister. He had an unbelievable outcome. And I think he's been treated very unfairly.
But he's coming over later. We're gonna be talking about, I would say, almost exclusively Gaza. We gotta get that solved. Gaza is tragic it's a tragedy. It's a tragedy.
And he wants to get it solved, and I wanna get it solved. And I think the other side wants to get it solved. Steve, could you talk on that, please?
Speaker 12: We're in proximity talks now. And we had four issues, and now we're down to one after two days of proximity talks. So we are hopeful that by the end of this week, we will have a an agreement that will bring us into a sixty day cease fire. 10 live hostages will be released. Nine, deceased will be released.
We're meeting, at the president's direction with all the hostage families to let them know. And we think that this will lead a lasting peace in Gaza. And you're doing a good job.
Speaker 0: It's a tough one. It's a tough one. A lot of hate. You know? This is called long term hate, but we think we're gonna have it solved pretty soon, hopefully with a real solution, a solution that's gonna be holding up.
Speaker 7: And can I follow-up? This is, I think, the first cabinet meeting since Elon Musk has not been a special government employee, not here anymore. He's now saying he's gonna create a third political party. Are you worried about the impact that could have?
Speaker 0: No. I think it'll help us. It'll probably help. Third parties have always been good for me. I don't know about Republicans, but for me.
Speaker 7: Are you second guessing any of the cuts that Doge made since
Speaker 0: Look. Look. We we cut hundreds of billions of dollars with we could have done it differently. I would have done it differently a little bit, maybe, but but it was something that we saved a lot of money. You could always second guess.
I guess some of the people in this room maybe would have done it slightly differently, and some would have done it exactly the way it was done. But it was it was dramatic, and it was important. And we found a lot of things, like billions of dollars given to people for environmental protection where they had a $100 in the account, like, in Atlanta, Stacy. And then you had another one with 20,000,000,000 here, 20,000,000,000 here and 2,000,000,000 here and 15,000,000,000. And, Lee, you might wanna mention just couple of those things.
We did we really got because of those.
Speaker 10: At the Trump EPA, the one big beautiful bill was filled with many big beautiful wins for the the taxpayer. It delivered a sledgehammer to the Green New scam. Billions of dollars rescinded. So it's a big deal for the American taxpayer who sees money go through pass throughs that are, you know, filled with self dealing and conflicts of interest. They see unqualified recipients.
They see reduced agency oversight, and they want accountability with their tax dollars, and they got it. So in the example of the Stacey Abrams connected NGO, they received a $100 in 2023. They got $2,000,000,000 in 2024. They had to complete training on how to develop a budget that was put into their grant agreement. They, out of nowhere, started paying a CEO a CEO $800,000 a COO $450,000 22 people making over a $150.
Out of nowhere, this is tax dollars. So money go through pass throughs, through other pass throughs, through other pass throughs, and we lose oversight over it. And you see that it's going to former Biden officials, it's going to former Obama officials, it's going to Democratic donors. And we're not here saying we wanna take money from a left wing NGO and give it to a right wing NGO. We wanna give it back to the taxpayer.
This is about us being good stewards of American tax dollars without any apology or regret. That's why president Trump was elected elected last November because there are whole lot of people who maybe they hadn't voted Republican in a long time. Maybe they didn't even vote for president Trump the first time around in 2016, but they're regretting that vote from 2016, and they were making it right in 2024. So the one big beautiful bill gave us the tools to rescind billions of dollars more. We're seeing hundreds of thousands of dollars that'll get wasted per electric vehicle as an example of this money that was going through it.
They gave $50,000,000 to a group called Climate Justice Alliance. They say that climate justice runs through a free Palestine. The Biden EPA gave $50,000,000 to a group that says that climate justice runs through a free Palestine. We say that if you're gonna spend a dollar in the name of remediating an environmental issue, then spend a dollar on remediating an environmental issue. We say that we can protect the environment and grow the economy.
We wanna help grow more base load power in this country. So why is it that it took this long for this team to get assembled to be able to fix the mess that we inherited? But, gosh, we love showing up though at at our jobs every single day, first thing in the morning because all day long, we get things done for the American taxpayer. And congress did its part last week by passing one big beautiful bill to deliver this accountability and to cut off the green new scam. So maybe it's a bad day for Stacey Abrams.
Maybe it's a bad day for all those well connected Democrats getting paid off. But you know what? God bless America. Because at the end of the day, President Trump is here, J. D.
Vance is here, and the greatest cabinet ever assembled to deliver that much needed and highly demanded accountability.
Speaker 0: That was a very good housekeeper. And that's from the heart.
Speaker 14: Germany and Russia have hit. Israel and The Netherlands have had intelligence saying that. What does US Intelligence believe and what do you believe about the use of chemical weapons? Do know what this means? Think Would you agree that no such case
Speaker 2: from the
Speaker 3: court? I mean
Speaker 0: Well, I'll ask John maybe to discuss it if you'd like, John?
Speaker 18: Mister president, obviously, chemical weapons, if it's documented in its use, it's illegal. It's against all international laws of armed conflict and treaties. And obviously, I can't share in this room with this audience the intelligence that I can share with you privately. But, obviously, you're not gonna stand or allow for any violations of international law by anyone.
Speaker 0: That's right. Thank you. Can I ask Sean to Department of Sean Duffy, former great congressman, very popular? He said he'd go out and make a couple of bucks. He made a lot.
And he got bored with that, though. He likes he likes serving people better, The people. And could I ask you to just discuss a very important subject to me, and that's the modernization of our equipment at airports so that planes aren't crashing into each other and bad things don't happen? It should have been done many years ago. We were going to do it, and then the election precluded that, unfortunately.
But we're doing it now. Could you tell them where we are?
Speaker 19: Yeah. If I could start with Newark. We you guys all covered what happened in Newark. We had outages for a couple of thirty second outages a couple months ago. We have, in two months, mister president, at historic speed, laid new fiber lines for communication and tested those in the next month.
So those new lines in for for the for the Philly TRACON that controls the Newark airspace, they're up and running Great. Lightning fast speed. Yes. June was June was the most on time June ever in the history of Newark for air travel. So that's going incredibly well.
By the way, we shouldn't have dealt with this because Joe Biden and Pete Buttigieg had moved the center from New York to Philadelphia. They didn't test the lines. They didn't do the work,
Speaker 3: which what which is what brought us
Speaker 19: all these problems. But in the big beautiful bill, we got 12,500,000,000. This is investment in air traffic control. And so what the money is gonna allow us to do is put you know, move from move from copper to fiber all over the country. So new copper lines.
We think we can do that in a year and a half to two years. We have radar that dates back to the nineteen fifties, some of it from the sixties and seventies. We get brand new radar across the country as well. We have some infrastructure money to build TRACONs and centers, the en route centers that control the traffic across the country. So this is a massive new start to rebuild air traffic control.
And again, it's been this is dilapidated. This you Americans think that their government takes care of them and and makes investments that are necessary to make the country work. And for thirty, forty years, the investments weren't made. And so under your leadership and direction, we are making those investments in per your direction. Right now, we are interviewing what we could call a general contractor or an integrator.
One company to it's a massive project. The FAA is not qualified to manage this kind of a project. So we are now going through the process of finding who that one company will be to manage the whole project. We'll interview those companies together and make that selection. So we'll write one big beautiful check to one beautiful company that'll be responsible for this this whole build.
But if I just make one last point, we are this is not enough enough money. Money. We're We're gonna gonna need more. It's but this is a massive new start. The biggest investment will need some more money on top of it, but a great start from the big, beautiful
Speaker 0: The starter. The starter. It's very important to us. And just to just to cover that, you know, there have been accidents and my pilots, I would often hear them say, oh, good. And they would use a different system, a different country to land in New York.
They'd use the the radar and other things from a different country. I said, what's that? Was he said, oh, our system is so bad. And I knew that. We were all set to start.
And Budette Edge came in and he it's what they did was so crazy because they hooked in copper into fiber, into steel, into all they had all different systems. They had hundreds and hundreds of contractors, different contractors for different airports. They spent billions of dollars and they made the system worse because you can't hook copper into fiber. Doesn't work that way. You just can't do it.
It's not doable, but they tried to do it. It didn't work out too well. And in the end, it was a just a complete disaster. We wanna have one great company. Now Raytheon's gonna bid.
IBM's gonna bid. We have five or six bidders that really are good and do this stuff. And we want one I tell because I know about overruns. I I look at the railroad out in California headed up by one of the worst governors in our country, who I used to get along with actually, but he's just you know, when you lose 25,000 houses and you would've had your cities burned out. If we didn't step in, Los Angeles would've been burned to the ground.
But you look at that, and I said, I really know how to build. You gotta have one guy, one contractor, one great one, whether it's IBM or Raytheon is good. And but yeah, four or five that are really, really great, and they're all bidding against each other. But you don't wanna have one doing the wire and one doing the digging and one doing the demolition and one and then they're all saying they all blame each other because they're saying they were late and therefore you have to pay me millions of dollars more money. I know this system so well.
And we're gonna have a great company do the whole thing. We're gonna get a fantastic price. Maybe we'll get them they're very big and very strong, and maybe we'll get to make a contribution toward it toward, you know, getting it done at the right price. But we're gonna have a great system.
Speaker 3: When we finish, we will have the
Speaker 0: best system on Earth done by one of the two or three best companies. There are only a few companies that can do this. This is not but if you would have seen what this other group did, they were going they were going crazy. They had I think they I heard 3,000 contractors. And then when it all came together, guess what?
It didn't work. It's a disaster. So we are we're gonna have a in a pretty short period of time, it's gonna take us about two years to build it. And we'll have a contract given out probably over the next couple of months. We have we have some great bidders, some great companies that wanna do the job.
You're gonna have great air traffic control.
Speaker 19: Just just to make one last point on this. So the the last administration signed a contract with a an American company to fix the copper to fiber, fiber, and and that that contract contract was was a a fifteen fifteen year year contract. Contract. The system is failing today, but that's how idiotic and incompetent the last administration was. And under your leadership, we're saying, listen, we don't have time.
We don't have fifteen years. We don't have five years. We have to do it right now. And so the president always talks about on time and on budget. We have embraced that.
We are gonna be on time and on budget. And by the way, you mentioned a train out in California. Stay tuned for probably give us five days, and you'll have an answer on what's gonna happen with the $4,000,000,000 that we potentially have invested on a train that's gonna go nowhere. It's gonna be a $120,000,000,000 that'll never connect San Francisco to LA. Again, the last administration wasted so much money on projects that never worked.
If you're gonna have high speed rail, you're gonna invest billions. We should actually have high speed rail in America, not boondoggles that fund political friends and allies and family.
Speaker 0: They have from San Francisco, inside of San Francisco to inside of Los Angeles. It should have never been built because airplanes do it better. And you could drive it. You could drive it. No problem with driving it.
The roads aren't even crowded. So they were gonna do this. Somebody's idea. Somebody got paid off a lot of money and they started it. It was going to cost a very small amount of money and it ended up costing literally hundreds of times what the original and now what they did is they said, well, going into the city is too big a deal.
So we'll leave it 25 miles short of the city. So now they're leaving it. They're not gonna finish it, really. They're building it's not the same project. So now they're leaving it outside of San Francisco and outside, short of each.
They just wanna get it done and it's I've never seen cost overruns. You know, if you have a cost overrun of 10%, you should be ashamed of yourself. 20%, you should not do any more jobs. This is a cost overrun of 2000%, something like that. It's unlimited, and it's not finished.
And maybe it will never get finished. And I told Sean, look at it from every stand, but I we don't wanna you know, we we have federal money going into that, and it's like throwing it out the window. So whatever you can do to stop
Speaker 19: $15,000,000,000 and not one track has been laid. Mhmm. $15,000,000,000, and we're sixteen years into the project, not one track.
Speaker 1: Mister president Mister president,
Speaker 14: you on
Speaker 8: But how do you want Republican voters in the city to vote in the upcoming mayoral election? Should they vote for Eric Adams? Should they vote for Pat Sliehwa? Should they pick someone else?
Speaker 0: Look. Number one, you have a communist running, and you shouldn't for him. He's a disaster. He's leading. He's got the Democrat nomination because that shows you where the Democrats have gone.
He actually wants to take over the grocery stores of John Casamatini, who's a a great guy, a rich guy, grocer, does a good job, wants to take over. He actually called me the other day. He's concerned his stores are gonna be taken from him, and they won't be run like John runs them. Believe me, he runs a good operation. But he actually said he wants to run his own grocery stores.
Now this is a man who's not very capable, in my opinion, other than he's got a good line of bullshit, and he's convinced them to go with him. Now, as you know, Cuomo does have capability is running, he got knocked out. And now they're running as you have Eric Adams, the current mayor. You have Cuomo, and you have Curtis Liwa. And Curtis runs every every four years.
He seems to be a fixture on the running scale. But but, you know, it's I'm not getting involved. But I can tell you this. I used to say, we will not ever be a socialist country. Right?
Well, I'll say it again. We're not gonna have if if a communist gets elected to run New York, it can never be the same, but we have tremendous power at the White House to run places where we have to. We could run DC. I mean, we're we're looking at DC. We don't want crime in DC.
We want the city to run well. Susie Wiles is working very closely with the mayor, and they're they're doing alright. I mean, in in the sense that we would we would run it so good. It would be run so proper. We'd get the best person to run it.
We run who crime would be down to a minimal, would be much less. And, you know, we're thinking about doing it, to be honest with you. We wanna we want a capital that's run flawlessly, and it wouldn't be hard for us to do it. But and we've had a good relationship with the mayor, and we're testing it to see if it works. But New York City will run properly.
We're gonna bring New York back. I love New York. You know, I loved New York for a long time. Then we had a bunch of crooked people in there. You have an attorney general who's a total stone cold crook in New York State.
Leticia James, a total crook. All they do is wanna go after political opponents. They do what's ever expeditious for them. She's the one that took out Cuomo because she wanted to run for governor, and then she ended up getting 1% of the vote. She she polled at 1%.
She dropped out, went back to attorney general. You have a lot of crooked things going on in New York. We're gonna straighten out New York. It's gonna and maybe we're gonna have to straighten it out from Washington. But when I see a communist who has actually gotten a Democrat, pretty much gotten a Democrat nomination, they also went to that new form of voting, which is a beauty.
You go in there in third place, you come out in first. That's that that form of voting that they have gone to. You know what I'm talking about. Is not is not too good. We're gonna do something for New York.
I can't tell you what yet, but we're gonna make New York great again also. We're gonna make it great again with the country. What we've done in this country in the last six months, nobody has ever seen it. And I I told the story. The king of Saudi Arabia is over there.
They gave us $5,100,000,000,000 between Saudi Arabia and UAE, Qatar. Three stops, 5,100,000,000,000.0 coming into our country as an investment, biggest investment ever made. And it's all going to good stuff. I mean, all real big good stuff. Energy projects, big big things.
But they all three told me essentially the same thing. We thought your country was dead, and now you've got the hottest country in the world. We're we're right now riding the hottest country. We all and and you can all be proud of it. We're in the hottest country.
This is the hottest country in the world. There's nobody close. Made hotter by some great pilots and great machines that nobody else has. Those great, big, beautiful machines, they rode those machines right into the toughest territory, and nobody knew what the hell happened. And then they hit their targets perfectly, and it was complete and total obliteration.
And that's why that war ended, Steve. They told me that's why the war ended. The war ended when they saw that, it was over. And we're very proud of it. But we have the hottest country in the world right now from a country that was close to dead.
And if I didn't win, if you would have had the other person win, we all know who she is, whether it was she or or Biden. They're the same. She he may have been more competent than her, and that's hard to believe. Right? But if you had that ideology in, I don't believe you would've had a country anymore.
I think I think you would've had a country that was broken up. But we had a dead country. Now we have the hottest country in the world, and everybody knows it, and everybody said it. Mister Vice President, do you have anything to say?
Speaker 18: Well, thank you, Mr. President. I just want to say that I'm very proud of the whole team. I think everybody has worked together. You see Pete and Marco and Steve working on some of the diplomacy, Christy and Pam working on the border.
We just have a really, really solid team, and we've done a lot of good work. And in particular, want to congratulate the White House staff led by the President on getting the one big beautiful bill passed. I was personally skeptical, sir. I never told you this, but I was skeptical we'd be able to get that thing done by July 4. We did it because we worked together and we worked very well.
So it's an honor to be a part of it, but I'm really proud of you guys for doing a great job.
Speaker 0: The beautiful thing about it, it had something for everyone.
Speaker 13: That's
Speaker 0: right. Most people said it had to be broken into seven bills. It's so big. The problem was that some of those seven have nothing for anyone, but they had to be done for the country. You know, sometimes you have to do things for the country that aren't necessarily popular.
We had a couple of them, and that wouldn't have worked. So the one big beautiful bill many people said it could never be approved. Too big, too everything is too much, but it had something very big and very important for everyone, and it's great for the country. And remember, the Democrats have come up with a false narrative, you know, just whatever. It's just a line that they send to everybody and they print.
I think in the case of this, it's death, death. Everyone's going to die. I heard that. Everyone's going to do just the opposite. Everyone's gonna live.
What we're doing is saving our country and making it much bigger, better, and stronger than it ever was. I'd like to ask Marco has been doing such a great job. Do you have anything to say?
Speaker 9: Well, it's, just going through a list here, mister president. And I think the vice president's pointed out to the great team you have, but and all these achievements that have happened domestically. But you think about it under your leadership, we prevented and ended a war between India and Pakistan. NATO is now at 5% for the first time ever, the highest numbers ever. A peace deal between Democratic Republic Of Congo and Rwanda, a twelve day war that ended with a with an American operation that we're the only country in the world that could have done.
Hopefully, pretty soon, peace deal between Azerbaijan and and and Armenia. The entire Middle East and the infrastructure, but it has the potential now to change because of Syria and Lebanon. And it hasn't even been six months. True. It hasn't even been six months.
So it's a it's a great testament to your leadership in this.
Speaker 0: Well, thank you very much. You've done a fantastic job. Could I just ask Linda? She's involved in so much. She's so talented and so good.
And she's working on a couple of little things like Harvard, who was given $5,500,000,000 over a short period of time. We caught them on that one. That's crazy. But you're working on so much. You want to bring education back to The states.
How are you doing?
Speaker 20: Well, absolutely. And and thank you for the opportunity. I think under the big, beautiful bill, what we saw, you know, with school choice, you know, this on a national basis at at the state level, but there are opportunities now for scholarships more and more often for kids who are entering these schools. It's gonna be a big turnaround. I think one of the biggest accomplishments we had over the past week was University of Pennsylvania with the title nine Right.
Ruling that, you Leah Thomas was stripped of of her title. Riley Gaines and Paula Scanlon and and other women who have stood, you know, so strong against men and women's sports. And when you put out the, you know, the executive order, I mean, that just solidified and gave them the opportunity. So those are a couple of really, really big wins, and thank you for that opportunity.
Speaker 0: And how are doing you with Columbia and Harvard?
Speaker 20: We're negotiating hard. I think we're getting close to having to have it's not wrapped up as fast as I wanted to, but we're getting there.
Speaker 0: Great. And you've done a fantastic job. Thank very much.
Speaker 20: You've been a good team.
Speaker 0: Good team. You have a great team.
Speaker 20: Around this table, lot people of help with that.
Speaker 0: That's right. Thank you very much. Maybe just in closing, you know, we spent a lot of time, effort, very little money on this room. This is called the Cabinet Room. It's been here for a long time.
And it had some pictures that were not many of them and not very good ones. And I actually spent time in the vaults. The vaults are where we have a lot of great pictures and artwork. And I picked it all myself. I'm very proud of it.
That's Andrew Jackson, great Andrew Jackson. That's a gentleman named and we call him President Polk. He was sort of a real estate guy. He was people don't realize he was one of the he was a one termer, but he was a very good president. But and I'm not sure he should be doing this.
He actually gave us the state of California. He was the
Speaker 3: one he was the one that I don't know. So I'm
Speaker 0: not sure. Maybe he won't be there for long. But if you notice, the frame is the exact same size almost as the other one is Andrew Jackson. So that was a part of the reason too, have to be honest. But Polk is is actually a very good president who's got the same frame that I needed.
Okay? And up here, you have the original George Washington right behind the light. And then you have Dwight Eisenhower, who was a very underrated president. Built the interstate system, and he was the toughest president, I guess, until we came along. But I I don't mind giving up that ground because I don't wanna be too tough on it, but we wanna be humane.
But he was the toughest president on immigration. He he was very strong at the borders. Very, very strong. And sometimes you can be too strong. He was strong on the borders and during a certain period of time, they were so strong that almost every farmer in California went bankrupt.
And we have to remember that. We have to work together. We have to remember that. But he was a very good president and a very good general and a very good president. And I thought he deserved a position somewhere on this floor.
And then you have this is very exciting to me. He was not a Republican, to put it mildly, but he was, you know, he was a four termer. He was Franklin Delano Roosevelt. And if you noticed, we have a lot of ramps outside. We have ramp people.
It's an unusual place for a ramp. It was because of him. He was wheelchair bound. But he was an amazing man. It's an amazing portrait.
And we used to have him in the room, a different portrait. And it was a terrible portrait. It was almost like it was done by a child. And I used to say, you know, I can't believe that he would have approved of that portrait of himself. And I was in the vaults and looking at things.
I said, what's that? And we have some great curators here. We have six curators at the White House. They have two for paintings. They have them for furniture.
They have them for different things. I guess Costa's no object. Okay. Costa's maybe I'd have one, but that's alright. But we have six, and they're very talented though.
And he said, that's a picture of FDR. I said, really? Let me see it. They took off the wrappings, very well preserved. And he said, that's the picture they've been looking for for years.
That was the picture of Franklin Delano Roosevelt. And I said, oh, wow. And likewise, that fit c frame. Frame wise,
Speaker 14: you it just doesn't work.
Speaker 0: It doesn't work if you have I wanna be nice, but it doesn't work if you have a big frame, a little frame, and you but it's like perfection. I'm a perfectionist. The mirror was down in the vault also. I said, where is this from? And it's a very old, very storied mirror.
Beautiful. We put that up. And then over there is Honest Abe Lincoln. And that picture was in his in his bedroom. And we thought that this would be a very important place because this is where wars are ended.
I'm not gonna say wars are declared. I'm gonna say wars are ended. Okay? We'll be positive. And that's the picture of Abe Lincoln from his bedroom, sat in the bedroom for many, many years.
That was his favorite picture of himself. And the Lincoln bedroom is very famous. You remember when Bill Clinton had it and he rented it out to people. Okay? We don't do that.
But it's an incredible it's an incredible room. And we took that picture from his bedroom. That's Abe Lincoln. And then over here, have John Adams and it's this was the they were the first occupants of the White House, 1,800. And John Quincy Adams, missus Adams, they were the first occupants.
So we have them looking at each other, and in between their stare is Abraham Lincoln trying to make peace. And that picture was in a room that I have that was not important like the cabinet. I gave it up. I said, I have to give it up because that's one of the greatest pictures of the White House. The White House has tremendous art.
And the Oval Office, when we're there, we'll go over that. That's really been something. Then we got the drapes, and we got the whole thing. We got new drapes. We got new what wasn't a big expense, very, very small.
And we took some of the China wear and silverware and trophy wear, they call it, from the vaults, and we had it cleaned up. It hadn't been shined up in a hundred years. Some of this has sat in the vaults for over a hundred years. Amazing. Over a hundred years.
Many of the pictures that were put up in the Oval Office, as an example, those two, as an example. So he was president. They moved in in 1800, and he won the election, I believe, in November of eighteen hundred, John Quincy Adams. And we thought that would be a he was considered to be a good president, and he was the first occupant of the White House, so it sort of made sense. And I love the frame of those pictures.
Look at those frames,
Speaker 3: you know?
Speaker 0: I'm a frame person. Sometimes I like frames more than I like the pictures. And we have the flags of the marines, and the space force now has its own flag. I'm very proud of space force. But the army, navy, air force, marines, Space Force, the whole thing.
And the Coast Guard is right there. You never forget the Coast Guard. They do a great job. So we have the flags throughout the office. And it's really become quite a beautiful place.
I I don't wanna tell this Marco pointed it out. I was gonna leave the clock. So as president, you have the power. If I go into the state department or department of commerce or treasury, if I see anything that I like, I'm allowed to take it. Do you believe this?
So I'm in Marco's I see this gorgeous clock, grandfather clock, and there it is. I said, Marco. He didn't know about it. I had to read him the rule and regulations. I said, Marco, I love this clock.
Look at it. It's beautiful. He said, what clock? I said, the clock that's in the other room is incredible, and nobody gets to see it there. Marco I tried to talk him into it first, and it sort of worked, and then I had to use a little more.
I said, I'd love to take that clock out and put it in the cabinet room. He said, no. Are you serious? And I said, Marco, I have the right to do it, Marco. And he said, alright.
Speaker 3: What the hell? So and so that's
Speaker 0: that's his contribution to the cabinet room. But it's by the way, it's an incredible clock. And, you know, it's an important room. You may see it again. Maybe we'll move it back sometime.
Anyway, so that's and that's pretty much it. But it really is great. Here, we put out you know, these these lamps have been very important, actually, whether people love them or not. But they're if you see pictures like Pearl Harbor and Tora Tora Tora, you see movies about the White House and where wars are being discussed, oftentimes, they'll show those lamps or something like those lamps, something that looks like them. Probably not the reals because I don't think they were allowed to this is a very important room.
This is a sacred room, and I don't think they made movies from here. You never know what what they do. But they were missing medallions. See the medallions on top? They had a chain going into the ceiling.
And I said, you can't do that. You have to have a medallion. They said, what's a medallion? I said, I'll show you. And then we got some some beautiful medallions.
And see them. They were put up there. Makes the lamps looks better. So we did these these changes. And, you know, when you think of it, the cost the cost was almost nothing.
We also painted the room a nice color, beige color. And it's been it's been really something. The only question is, will I gold leaf the corners? You could maybe tell me my cabinet could take a look. You see you see the you see the top line moldings.
And the only question is, do you go live it? Because you can't paint it. If you paint it, it won't look good because they've never found a paint that looks like gold. You see that in the Oval Office. They've tried for years and years.
Somebody could become very wealthy, but they've never found a paint that looks like gold. So painting it is easy, but it won't look right. And the question is whether or not we should gold leaf it. Does any Linda, do you have an opinion? I gold leaf it.
You like it the way?
Speaker 20: No. I gold leaf it.
Speaker 0: You'd Gold Leaf it? Yeah. Who would Gold Leaf it? Could I raise you? How about would you Gold Leaf it?
Speaker 6: I was gonna ask about McKinley, one of your favorite presidents.
Speaker 0: Well, he McKinley was a great president who never got credit. In fact, they changed the name of Mount McKinley, and I changed it back because he should have been the people of Ohio were very he was the governor of Ohio. The people of Ohio were very happy when I did that. Heard they were very insulted. They took the name of Mount McKinley off.
That was done by Obama a little while ago, and I I
Speaker 3: had
Speaker 0: to change it back. I changed it back. He actually was a great president. He was a president he was the the tariff, the most I guess, since me. I think I'm gonna outdo him, but he was a tariff president.
He believed that other countries should pay for the privilege of coming into our country and taking our jobs and taking our treasure. That's the way he explained it. They took our jobs and they took our treasure, and for that they should pay. And he made them pay, and he built a tremendous fortune. In fact, in 1887, they had the great tariff committee.
It was set up in 1887 because our country had so much money, we didn't know what to do with it. And they set up a committee of, as they called them, elites, a term that we have to change because I think a lot of the people that are elites aren't elite. I think the people that aren't elite are elite. So we're gonna have to maybe switch that around somehow. But they had a committee that was set up to spend the money because it was such a large amount of money.
At that time, it was no nobody had seen anything like it. Tariffs. And people didn't pay tax. There was no income tax system. I told you that went that came back in in 1913.
And that came back and lived well for a while, and then you had the Great Depression. And then later, they brought they tried to bring back tariffs, but the whole thing was you know, this was after the Depression. That was one of the great misconceptions is people like to say, oh, but it was during the no. The we went the country had a great depression. And then after the depression, as after long after it started, they brought back tariffs to see if they could save it.
But it took them, really, twenty five years. When you say about twenty five years to get out of the Great Depression, a lot of people don't understand that. But I thought it would be interesting for you to get a little view of this room. This is a very important room, very powerful room, great room. And we've done similar, but even beyond this in the Oval Office.
We brought back pictures of some of the great presidents. Many of them were in the vaults for over a hundred years. Originals all beautiful, beautiful things. And rather than sitting in a vault downstairs for a hundred and twenty eight years, I thought we should display that. And we did that, I think, in a really good way.
We've gotten very high marks. But it's interesting. People walk into that room and they look around the room. They don't even wanna talk to me. They want they could they could look at it for hours.
It's funny. When people come into the Oval Office, it's such an incredible it's a sacred place. When people come into the Oval from the biggest people in the world, the presidents, prime ministers, kings, queens, one case at least, queens, and the biggest business people in the world. They walk into that office and they always say they say, there's no place like this in the whole world in terms of the power. And I mean, it's beautiful and all, but there are other beautiful offices.
You have businessmen that have offices that are, you know, full floors of office buildings, floor to ceiling glass. And they walk in there and they say, there's no place like this anywhere in the world. There's no place. And, you know, it's what it represents maybe more than the physicality of the room itself. So it's an honor to have you all.
Media, it's an honor to have you. I just wanna say we have a fantastic cabinet. Every one of them is a star in my book. And if they're not, I'll let you know about it. I'll throw them to the wolves.
I'll throw them to the wolves in two seconds because our country comes first. Right? But I just wanna thank you all for being here.

Israel's claim of self-defense under Article 51 of the UN Charter, following the October 7 attack by Palestinian paramilitaries, is false. According to paragraph 139 of the International Court of Justice's 2004 advisory opinion on the legality of the wall, Israel cannot claim self-defense under Article 51 for attacks originating within occupied territories under its control. Since Gaza is an occupied territory under Israel's effective control, this principle applies.

Actually, there is a claim that is being bandied about, in the media and by political, leaders leadership, especially in the West, that Israel enjoys a right to self defense under article 51 of the United Nations Charter in relation to the attack that was brought against it on the October 7 by Palestinian paramilitaries. That is false. I would direct all of your your, listeners to paragraph one three nine one thirty nine of the International Court of Justice's advisory opinion on the legality of the wall dated 02/2004. And in that paragraph, the court makes it very clear that Israel does not enjoy a right of self defense under article 51 of the UN Charter in relation to attacks that emanate from within an occupied territory that it controls.
Gaza is an occupied territory. Israel is in effective control over it, and therefore, it it cannot claim a right of self defense in relation to that.

Immigration agents had a search warrant for the home, but the suspects listed no longer lived there. A mother and her daughters, all US citizens, had their money, laptop, and cell phone taken and were forced to wait outside in the rain during the search.
The question was posed to Madam Secretary if DHS needs to rectify any mistakes and ensure the family gets its property back if this were a mistake. Madam Secretary responded that the warrant was for the house, which was allegedly being used for human smuggling, not the individuals, though some individuals present had similar names. She stated that everything was done appropriately and will continue to be handled appropriately.

I just signed an executive order aimed at protecting Americans from the risks associated with gain-of-function research. This order halts all current and future Federal funding for such research in countries of concern, like China and Iran, and empowers our research agencies to identify and eliminate funding for any biological research that could threaten public health or safety. It also prohibits funding for foreign research that could lead to another pandemic, significantly reducing the risk of lab-related incidents.

🚨 BREAKING: @POTUS just signed an executive order protecting Americans from dangerous gain-of-function research. The order: — Ends any present and all future Federal funding of dangerous gain-of-function research in countries of concern like China and Iran and in foreign nations deemed to have insufficient research oversight. — Empowers American research agencies to identify and end Federal funding of other biological research that could pose a threat to American public health, public safety, or national security. — Prohibits Federal funding from contributing to foreign research likely to cause another pandemic. These measures will drastically reduce the potential for lab-related incidents involving gain-of-function research, like that conducted on bat coronaviruses in China by the EcoHealth Alliance and Wuhan Institute of Virology. — Protects Americans from lab accidents and other biosecurity incidents, such as those that likely caused COVID-19 and the 1977 Russian flu.

The executive order addresses gain of function research, a type of biomedical research where pathogens are altered to enhance their potency or change their function. Many believe gain of function research was a key cause of the COVID pandemic. The order provides new tools to enforce federal funding regulations for gain of function research abroad, strengthens oversight mechanisms, and creates a broad strategy to ensure biomedical research is conducted safely to protect human health. It is suggested that implementing these measures earlier could have prevented the problems associated with the pandemic.

This many people believe that gain of function research was one of the key causes of the COVID pandemic, that struck us in in the last decade. What this executive order does, first of all, it provides powerful new tools, to enforce federal funding for gain of function research abroad. It also strengthens other oversight mechanisms related to that issue and creates an overarching strategy to ensure that biomedical research in general is being conducted safely and in a way that that ultimately protects human health more?

Speaker 0: I think what we're seeing as a president who's determined to fly in the face of, the experts and the own his own health officials, environmental experts, as well as people who are saying that there that there's really a myth of America, that this idea that America treated people well, that they treated men and women equally, that that we founded this country just by our own wits, that that is actually a lie. That, in fact, what we're seeing is a a celebration of America's independence on land that was stolen from native Americans, and it's over and it's being seen and and overlooked by two presidents. They're they're figures rather that own slaves and a third president in Roosevelt who who talked about going westward and who oversaw the desecration of native lands. That's why you saw so many people in this country, especially people of color, look really, really disturbed when the president and then candidate Trump started saying make America great again. He's really fitting in this this history that is, in some ways, republican history about the idea that they're really looking at white resentment and giving people who are worried about the future of America, but who are also angry at the idea of America browning and giving them a place to say, you know what?
You are the victim. This country owes you more. Instead of looking toward the future and saying, actually, let's have an America where we're not believing in this myth. Let's have an America where people do understand the history of America. President Trump is saying, I wanna be on the side of the myth of America.

Speaker 0: Millions of Americans watched our mentally incompetent president struggle with his day to day duties of this office. We watched our country be ran into the ground as a result, and nobody in the media wanted to write about that, talk about it. There were many many reporters, I will say, right leaning reporters who did talk about that, who didn't get awards, didn't get coverage. In fact, they were lambasted for their coverage. And I remember being on president Trump's campaign talking about Joe Biden's clear mental incompetence and being accused by people in this room of, manufacturing deep fake videos, trying to, persuade the public into not believing what they saw with their own eyes for many years.
And I think it's about time the legacy media finally admits that was one of the greatest cover ups and scandals that ever took place in American history, and certainly, it did contribute to the decline and the trust that Americans have for, the legacy media.

Video Transcript AI Summary
The speaker clarifies that a headline is misleading because three US citizen children (ages four, seven, and two) were not deported. Their mothers, who were in the US illegally, were deported, and the children went with them.
The speaker states that if US citizen children are deported with their parents, they can return to the US if a father or someone else wants to care for them. The choice of whether the children accompany their deported parents rests with the parents. The alternative would be for the US to hold the children while deporting the mother, which would lead to different negative headlines. The speaker assumes the children have fathers in the US who can care for them. The US deported the mothers who were in America illegally.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: On the headline, that's a misleading headline. K? Three US citizens ages four, seven, and two were not deported. Their mothers who are legally in this country were deported. The children went with their mothers.
Their if those children are US citizens, they can come back into The United States if there's their father or someone here who wants to assume them. But ultimately, was deported was their mother their mothers who were here illegally. The children just went with their mothers. But they they wasn't like you guys make it sound like ICE agents kicked down the door and grabbed the two year old and threw him on an airplane. That's misleading.
Yeah. That's just not true.
Speaker 1: Just to be clear because I I do wanna get to the overhaul at the state department. Is it The US policy to deport children, even US citizens with their families? And I hear what you're saying, without due process. Just to be very clear there.
Speaker 0: Well, no. No. No. No. Again, if someone's in this country unlawfully, illegally, that person gets deported.
If that person is with a two year old child or has a two year old child and says, I want to take my child with you with me, well, then what? You have two choices. You can say, yes. Of course, you can take your child, whether they're a citizen or not because it's your child. Or you can say, yes.
You can go, but your child must stay behind. And then your headlines would read, US holding hostage two year old, four year old, seven year old while mother deported. So the mother the parents make that choice. I imagine those three US citizen children have fathers here in The United States. They can stay with their father.
That's up to their family to decide where the children go. Children go with their parents. Parents decide where their children go. Right. The US deported their mothers who were illegally in America.

Video Transcript AI Summary
In 1907, Theodore Roosevelt established a 60-foot strip of land called the Roosevelt Reservation along the southern border (excluding Texas). This strip was created to allow the federal government to control smuggling.
The Roosevelt Reservation is being transferred to the Department of Defense (DOD). Anyone crossing the border onto this strip is now trespassing on a defense installation. This allows the military at the Southwestern Border to detain individuals until the border patrol arrives. This is intended to create greater coordination between the border patrol and the DOD. According to career border patrol leaders, this is the most support they have felt in their careers.
There are thousands of incursions by cartel drones surveilling US property as they attempt to smuggle people and narcotics into the country.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: So start with the border. I mean, what a connection between two incredible presidents. Theodore Roosevelt in nineteen o seven had the vision and the foresight when the border was being, you know, clearly established between New Mexico, Arizona, California running across the southern border, not including Texas because Texas was its own country first for ten years before they became a state. But along that thing, there's a there's a piece of 60 foot strip of land called the Roosevelt Reservation. That 60 foot strip in the nineteen o seven initial commissioning of that said, hey, if there's a point in the future, if we gotta stop smuggling was a word that they were used that time, we should allow the federal government to control this.
So we're transferring the Roosevelt Reservation to the DOD. If someone now steps across the border onto that strip controlled by the Department of Defense, they're basically trespassing on a defense installation. And with that, that allows our our military that are at the Southwestern Border that they can detain someone until the border patrol who has arrest authority can arrive. So it allows for a greater coordination and a stronger legal foundation between the great work that's going on between our our border patrol and the and the DOD. And I gotta tell you down there, the the the morale of people working in the border patrol, I had folks, career dedicated leaders down there that said that this is the the most supportive they'd felt in their entire career, decades of time working for the border patrol.
And that's why, you know, in part, you're seeing the great results. We've got the staffing down there to actually support that. And one thing I should say, people say, oh, the military, is this thing still going on? Thousands of incursions by drones coming from cartels who are well funded, sending those drones over The United States property to do surveillance as they still continue to find ways to struggle people and and and narcotics into our country.

Speaker 1: You're talking about. But if they're bad people, I would certainly authorize it. Yeah. You know, I won an election in a landslide. We won all seven swing states.
We won by millions of votes. We won, 2,750 districts to 505 districts. 2,750 to five o that's why the the map, when you look at it, is all red. And one of the biggest reason I think the biggest single reason, actually, I'd like to say it's because of this because I think they're gonna come up with things that are incredible. But probably the biggest reason was because of the border and because of illegal immigration.
And the people of this country want those people out because what Biden did and his I don't know if he did it. I'm not even sure he knows what the hell he was doing. But what his people did representing him was allow millions and millions of people from jails, from prisons all over the world, people from mental institutions and insane asylums, gang members, drug dealers pouring into our our place. And you know what? Our people voted for me to get them out.
They want them out. They want them out, and we've done a hell of a job. And by the way, Ecuador and, various places, but, El Salvador, we've been helped by a lot of other states where they're helping us, actually, because you couldn't look. What this man was thinking when they allowed open borders and people to come in, if you look at Venezuela, their crime is down by 72%. You know why?
They took all their criminals off the street. They took all their prisoners from jail. They took murders. 11/1988 murderers were released into our country. Bad things are gonna happen.
Bad things. And we're getting them out, and that's why I was elected. A judge wasn't elected to do that. I was elected to do that, and we're doing it in record fashion.

Video Transcript AI Summary
Rachel, a 37-year-old mother of five, was murdered on a Maryland trail the family had frequented for 25 years. Victor Martinez, an illegal immigrant from El Salvador, attacked her, dragging her 50 feet, leaving a trail of blood. He then hammered her head against rocks, causing extensive skull fractures and brain hemorrhaging.
He dragged her through thorn bushes before raping and strangling her in a tunnel. The speaker saw autopsy photos showing the extent of the injuries. The accused showed no remorse in court. The speaker believes these are the kind of criminals President Trump wants to remove from the country.
The speaker questions why American citizens are not being protected from violent criminals and why a Maryland senator would use taxpayer money to bring back someone who is not an American citizen instead of acknowledging her daughter's death. She feels a part of her has been ripped out.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: A lot of you don't know the whole story about Rachel and about the crime that was committed against her. Even us, her family, we didn't know all the details. They kept most of it close to their chest, the detectives, because they didn't want to do anything to hurt the case. They wanted to keep the integrity of the case, So they kept everything close. I sat for the last two weeks in her trial and we saw layer upon layer upon layer of evidence against the accused, an illegal immigrant from El Salvador.
And the things that we thought, well maybe this might have happened, we didn't know. But when we were at the trial, we got all the puzzle pieces. I want to share some of those things with you. You know that Rachel is a 37 year old mother. She has five children.
We've walked the trail for the last twenty five years that we've lived in Maryland. It's a safe place for our family. It's where we go to get a little bit of New England because that's where we're from, New England. When she went on that trail that day, she was not planning on dying. She wasn't planning on walking to her death.
She was planning on going to the grocery store with her girls afterwards. Victor Martinez, he waited for her. He waited for her to come closer. He saw her. He saw that there was nobody around.
He attacked her. He dragged her a 50 feet, blood gushing from her head. It left a 50 foot trail of her blood to the culverts where he took he picked her up. He threw her against the wall of the tunnel, and he raped her. But before he did that, he stopped on that trail and rocks still stained with her blood.
He used them to hammer her head against those rocks. They say 20 at least 20 times they could count the cuts in her head. They said that when they did the autopsy, and I've seen the pictures, there's a six inch square in the back of her head where the skull is shattered the way that you would crush an eggshell in pieces. Three fourths of her brain hemorrhaged. Her right and left side of her face bashed in.
Her beautiful face bashed in. Her head bashed in. Broken bones, fractures. He takes and he drags her some more. He drags her through the thorn bushes.
She has all the scrapes and cuts on her body. There wasn't one inch of her body that didn't have some kind of injury, whether it's bruising, broken bones, contusions, the scratches. She had a fractured rib, fractured nose, fractured skull, and then he takes her into the tunnel, and he picks her up. He throws her against the wall. Blood is gushing from her head.
Her hair is soaked in blood, and they showed us pictures of her body. Against the wall outlined the blood outlined her body, and you could see where the blood ran down around her as he was raping her. And then he threw her down and raped her some more. And then he strangled her because he didn't want her to be able to live to tell the story. They said that when they did the autopsy on her neck that one of the things they do is they open up the neck and they look to see how far the injury is and they went all the way down as far as an injury is possible hemorrhaging in the muscles because of how strong and violent the grip was around her.
These are the kind of people that have no compulsion. Like to them, this is nothing. And when he was sitting in the courtroom, he actually looked like he thought he was going to be set free. There was no remorse on his face at all. This this person took my daughter so violently and so gruesomely and so graphically that they sealed the pictures because I don't want my granddaughters to see these pictures.
These are the kind of criminals President Trump wants to remove from our country. These are the kind of criminals that we need to remove from our country. We are American citizens. Why should we allow people like this, violent criminals that have no conscience at all to murder our mothers, our sisters, our daughters. What's what's I don't understand why there's even any kind of problem with this.
And it's not that it's political like the left or the right, although I understand different parties have used it in the past. But we have to look at it as we are American citizens. We need to protect our families, our borders, our children. I don't care about politics. Well, do, but I want to preserve life.
And that's the only reason why I have taken and spoken about Rachel all this time. If you're a mother here in the room, can you imagine standing there alive you're alive and someone comes and puts their hands into your chest and rips out your heart? That's what it feels like. It feels like a part of you is being ripped out of you. You can't even describe the pain just like you can't describe to your husband what it feels like to carry a baby in your womb or to feel those first kicks or to know just intuitively if it's a boy or a girl.
It's only a thing that a mother knows. Why are we not protecting the American citizens? It's just common sense. Why are we not protecting our children? And to have a senator from Maryland who didn't even acknowledge or barely acknowledge my daughter and the brutal death that she endured leaving her five children without a mother and now a grandbaby without a grandmother so that he can use my taxpayer money to fly to El Salvador to bring back someone that's not even an American citizen?
Why does that person have more right than I do or my daughter or my grandchildren? I don't I don't understand this. Thank you.

Speaker 0: Good afternoon, everybody. President Trump campaigned on the promise to secure our homeland and deport violent alien criminals from our communities. That is why the American people overwhelmingly reelected him back to this office, and it's why the American people defeated the Democrat party in devastating fashion. Today, we have officially learned Democrat officials still refuse to accept the will of the American people. Maryland Democrat senator Chris Van Hollen rushed to Dulles Airport this morning to fly to El Salvador, potentially using taxpayer dollars to demand the release of deported illegal alien MS thirteen terrorist.
The Democrats and the media in this room have continually and wrongly labeled Kilmar Garcia as a Maryland father. There is no Maryland father. Let me reiterate, Kilmar Abrego Garcia is an illegal alien, MS thirteen gang member, and foreign terrorist who was deported back to his home country. And when Kilmar Abrego Garcia was originally arrested, he was wearing a sweatshirt with rolls of money covering the ears, mouth, and eyes of presidents on various currency denominations. This is a known MS thirteen gang symbol of hear no evil, speak no evil, see no evil.
Abrego Garcia was also arrested with two other well known members of the vicious MS thirteen gang. And two separate judges found that Abrego Garcia was a member of MS thirteen and that finding has never been disputed. And just this morning, it was revealed through Maryland court documents that Abrego Garcia's wife petitioned for an order of protection against him for two instances of domestic violence in May of twenty twenty one. And here is the order right here. The court ordered that the respondent committed the following acts of abuse.
Once in May of twenty twenty one, assault in any degree. And on May fourth of twenty twenty one, he punched and scratched his wife, ripped off her shirt, and grabbed and bruised her. This is from a court in Maryland. So not only are Democrats rushing to defend an illegal criminal foreign terrorist gang member, but also an apparent woman beater. To set all of that aside, the basic fact that he was illegally inside our country and had a lawful deportation order made him subject to removal back to his home country of El Salvador.
And if he ever ends up back in The United States, he would immediately be deported again. Nothing will change the fact that Obrego Garcia will never be a Maryland father. He will never live in The United States Of America again. And the United States Supreme Court ruled unanimously that the president of The United States and the secretary of state could not be compelled to forcibly retrieve this citizen of El Salvador who is currently locked up in a maximum security prison in his home country due to his MS thirteen membership. To remind the media and the Democrat party, MS thirteen are among the most vicious and dangerous individuals in this world.
They pose a direct threat to The United States, El Salvador, and any other country who maintains basic law and order. MS thirteen rapes innocent girls and women, runs sex trafficking operations, murders for sport, and terrorizes law abiding people. That's why El Salvador President Bukele made it clear this week that he will not be releasing this MS thirteen gang member from his prison. But that is not enough. All of that is not enough to stop the Democrat party from their lies.
The number one issue they are focused on right now is bringing back this illegal alien terrorist to America. But where are the Democrats applauding the fact that southern border crossings just hit a historic low? Where are the Democrats supporting our brave men and women of law enforcement who are putting their lives on the line every single day to arrest the violent illegal alien invaders that the previous administration allowed into our country? And where are the Democrats when innocent Americans are victimized by illegal criminals that Joe Biden let in? It's appalling and sad that senator Van Hollen and the Democrats applauding his trip to El Salvador today are incapable of having any shred of common sense or empathy for their own constituents and our citizens.
Nobody knows this more than the woman standing to my right, Patty Morin, whose beautiful daughter Rachel was brutally maimed and murdered at the hands of an illegal alien in August of twenty twenty three. Patty no longer has her daughter because of the failed Democrat party's open border. And these are policies that president Trump is bringing an end to. Patty should not have to be here today, but she is. And we are grateful and we are honored for her willingness and her request to share her powerful story with the world.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Patty, for being here.
Speaker 2: Thank you. A lot of you, don't know the whole story about Rachel and about the crime that was committed against her. Even us, her family, we didn't know all the details.

The Obama administration is said to have allowed China to expand its economic and cultural influence throughout South and Central America via infrastructure deals, surveillance, and indebtedness. The Trump administration aimed to counter this by reasserting American influence in the region.
The speaker attended a conference of Central and South American countries, signaling intentions to invest in ways that serve American interests and curb Chinese influence. "First and Free" is presented as an example of this strategy. The Panamanian government is acknowledged as a good partner, as it is purportedly in their best interest to align with America rather than China.

The speaker advocates rebuilding the American economy around American goods and industry, arguing the U.S. currently operates under other countries' tariff regimes. They cite examples of trade imbalances, such as Mexico not accepting U.S. corn and Australia not accepting U.S. beef, while Honduras imports more American pork than the entire European Union. The speaker believes a change is needed, as evoked by the president, and anticipates positive outcomes. They claim 50 countries are willing to negotiate with the U.S., which they call the economic engine of the world, and commend President Trump for standing up for America.

Speaker 0: This whole concept is about rebuilding an American economy around American goods, around American industry. We do already live under a tariff regime in this country, but it's the tariff regime of China, of Mexico, of Brazil, of Australia, of countries that Mexico won't take our corn. Australia won't take our beef. The country of Honduras takes more pork than the entire European Union does, American pork, I should say. So from our farming and ranching perspective, which is what I'm focused on, but happy to talk about anything, that it is has to it is time for a change, and that's what this president evoked last Wednesday.
So I think we'll see, in short order, really positive outcome from this. We already have 55, 50 countries that have come to the table over the last few days, over the last weeks that are willing and desperate to talk to us. We are the economic engine of the world, and it's finally time that someone, president Trump, stood up for America.

This allegedly takes away parents' ability to control their children's education. The plan under President Trump is to return authority to the local level, allowing parents to control outcomes, while ensuring that no federal funds support racism, gender ideology, or other ideas offensive to the American taxpayer.

Speaker 0: The Department of Education here in Washington DC is overwhelmingly staffed by radical left Marxist bureaucrats who are in every way hostile to Western civilization, hostile to American interest, and hostile to our founding documents and culture. And so they are using their position and influence inside the Department of Education to try to force agendas like radical gender ideology, like critical race theory, like diversity, equity, and inclusion, and all kinds of anti America curricula and policies on the American people, on our students, on our children. So it's taking away from parents the ability to control and direct the education of their own kids, of their own families. So what we're gonna do under president Trump's leadership and direction is to return that authority to the greatest extent possible to the local level where parents can control outcomes, while at the same time making sure that no federal funds are used to support racism, to support gender ideology, or support other ideas and principles that are offensive to the American taxpayer.

Video Transcript AI Summary
The administration believes the president has constitutional authority to conduct national security operations, citing the Alien Enemies Act. They argue a district court judge cannot interfere with the president's power to repel a foreign terrorist threat, calling it non-justiciable and an Article Two power as commander in chief.
The administration claims Tren de Aragua (TDA) is an alien enemy force sent by the Venezuelan government, triggering the Alien Enemies Act, which allows the president to act against predatory incursions or invasions directed by a foreign government. They state the president determines what triggers the statute, not a district court judge.
The administration maintains the president's actions are not subject to judicial review when using commander-in-chief powers. They argue district court judges cannot enjoin the expulsion of foreign terrorists or direct military actions. The administration believes individual expulsions should not be adjudicated by a single district court judge, as it undermines national sovereignty. They claim the judge's order put lives at risk and violated the Constitution.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: So you called the judge's order just earlier today, quote, patently unlawful, end quote, and said that it was an assault on democracy itself. Does that mean that the administration is ignoring this order, and might you ignore future court orders that meet the criteria you laid out?
Speaker 1: The president of The United States and his administration reserve all rights under the constitution to conduct national security operations and defense The United States. The Alien Enemies Act, which was passed into law by the founding generation of this country, men like John Adams, was written explicitly to give the president authority to repel an alien invasion of The United States. That is not something that a district court judge has any authority whatsoever to interfere with, to enjoin, restrict, or to restrain any way. You can read the law yourself. There's not one clause in that law that makes it subject to judicial review, let alone district court review.
Speaker 0: So, Steven, when you when you say that this person has no authority at all, this is how our system works. It starts with these judges and then continues up. At what point does it become, in your view, legal for the justice system to be looking at this and making a judgment and I I I fail to see how there's any other way but to start with where we're starting here before you get to eventually the supreme court.
Speaker 1: Well so first of all, there's a there's a term in law, justiciable. This is not justiciable. In other words, this is not the president is exercising his article two powers to defend the country against an invasion or to repel a foreign terrorist that is unlawfully in the country, he's exercising his court article two powers as commander in chief.
Speaker 0: Is Venezuela invading The US?
Speaker 1: This is this is a very important point. This is a title 50 authority. It's a commander in chief authority. So just to ask you a simple question. You you talk about how the system works.
Does a district court judge have the right to direct or enjoin troop movements overseas? Yes or no?
Speaker 0: Well, Steven, my question I
Speaker 1: Oh, no. No.
Speaker 0: It's If you could answer my question
Speaker 1: first. In other words,
Speaker 0: the Is Venezuela is Venezuela invading our country in a way that would T t t t a.
Speaker 1: So under the so I'll answer yours, and you'll answer mine. Under the terms of the statute, Trane de Aragua is an alien enemy force that has come here as detailed at length in the proclamation at the direction of the Venezuelan government. The statute says that a president has the ability to repel an invasion or predatory incursion that is directed by
Speaker 0: a foreign government. Right? Are they a state or
Speaker 1: a government? This would be yes. It is it is documented. The the TDA was sent by the Venezuelan government in the proclamation. And here's an even more important point.
Under the constitution, who makes that determination? A district court judge elected by no one or the commander in chief of the army and navy? The president and the president's alone makes a decision of what triggers that
Speaker 0: determination statute. Actually at war with Venezuela, the nation state of Venezuela?
Speaker 1: You're not hearing me, and you're not understanding me. Read the statute. Alien Enemies Act seventeen ninety eight. It says if a predatory incursion is perpetrated by a foreign government so it lists a three three qualifying actions. It could be an act of war.
In the
Speaker 0: very beginning, there has to be declared war against a nation or
Speaker 1: a state. That's what it says. Wrong. Look up the statute. It's on my account on social media.
You can see it? The yes. It says or a predatory incursion or an invasion. The statute delineates three criteria for triggering the Alley Enemies Act. One is a act of war, which, by way, an invasion is an act of war, but put that aside.
One is an invasion, which this is. One is a predatory incursion, which this is. So it actually meets all three statutory criteria. But with respect to this particular statute, it's the proclamation is utilizing the incursion and invasion language in the statute. So but no.
But this is a very important question because no. No. No. Hold on. It's a very important question.
You said the way our system works is the president of The United States commands the armed forces of the country, commands the foreign policy of the country, and that's subject to district court review. That is
Speaker 0: fundamentally not true. I never said that, Steven. I did not say
Speaker 1: never been true.
Speaker 0: This was not a military upper I mean, the
Speaker 1: A district court judge can no more enjoin the expulsion of foreign terrorists to foreign soil, that he can direct the movement of air force one, that he can direct the movement of an aircraft carrier, that he can direct Marco Rubio to engage the diplomacy in a
Speaker 0: country. Or not? Like, does the Supreme Court of the United States have any say over the things that you were just outlining right here?
Speaker 1: I believe what the Supreme Court will say is what I just said, which is that the president's conduct here is not subject to
Speaker 0: judicial review. You are acknowledging that they do in fact have a say here. Well Even though you think they may agree with you.
Speaker 1: What we are expecting is the Supreme Court to say what has always been the case, which is when the president is using his powers as commander in chief, those determinations are not subject to judicial review. In other words, the president's designation of as a foreign terrorist organization and as an alien enemy are part of his inherent plenary authority. There is no
Speaker 0: way what point in
Speaker 1: this system, how how are you going to expel illegal illegal alien invaders from our country who are raping little girls, who are murdering little girls if each and every deportation has to be adjudicated in a district court judge? And that means you have no country. Sovereignty. It means you have no future. It is fundamentally incompatible to have a country and have individual expulsions adjudicated by a single district court judge.
Speaker 0: I'm just trying to figure out at what point
Speaker 1: in the
Speaker 0: system do you because what does the Trump administration believe? Because we do have separation of powers in this country. I hear what you're saying.
Speaker 1: Yes. Of powers.
Speaker 0: This is
Speaker 1: the judiciary interfering Steven. Let me finish. Executive function.
Speaker 0: Let me That
Speaker 1: is the separation of powers. That is
Speaker 0: order here because you thought you could?
Speaker 1: So the judge's order and the actions taken by the departments of defense, justice, and homeland security are not in conflict. And the department just has been clear that they are not in conflict. But I So you think that
Speaker 0: you did go along with the order that the judge put out? You do not think that the Trump administration I agree. This order?
Speaker 1: As the justice department said, there is no conflict between the judge's order, and the action is taken by the departments I just listed. But I'm making a deeper and more fundamental point. Yeah. The district
Speaker 0: court has to,
Speaker 1: in any way, restrain the president's authorities under the Alien Enemies Act or his ability to conduct the foreign affairs of United States. Let me paint a picture for you. President Trump and secretary of state Marco Rubio had engaged in intensive intensive diplomacy to obtain a bilateral security agreement with the nation of El Salvador. If a district court judge So can join that bilateral security agreement Again. Then we do not have a democracy.
Major argument. Got it. Policy.
Speaker 0: Heard you say this. I've Did did you ignore did the ignore the order from the district judge?
Speaker 1: I've It's
Speaker 0: a simple question.
Speaker 1: I've and I've answered it. I've I've answered it because this the department has made a filing in the court. But let me make another point. The judge in this case put the lives of every single person on those aircraft at risk. Did he know how much fuel was in those planes?
Did he know the flight conditions? Did he know the weather conditions? Did he know how many crew hours? Did he know the need for crew rest? Did he know any of that?
No. This judge violated the law. He violated the constitution. He defied the system of government that we have in this country.
Speaker 0: Courts because that does to
Speaker 1: be what you're arguing. The same the same district court judges didn't do a damn thing to stop Joe Biden from flooding this nation with millions of illegal aliens. Do these district court judges didn't issue any injunctions to save the lives of Jocelyn Mungry, Blake, anyone
Speaker 0: courts. Is that what you're saying?
Speaker 1: What I'm saying is that what you said, there's a separation of powers. The the the judiciary exercises
Speaker 0: judgment and relief. I don't speak for the White House. You you are here to speak
Speaker 1: for the White House.
Speaker 0: Will I just want you to answer that one simple question. I am.
Speaker 1: Ready? Here we go. Under a proper reading of the constitution, district court judges provide relief to individual plaintiffs seeking relief. District court judges do not have the authority as a general matter to enjoin the functioning of the executive branch, but their authority is at its lowest point when the president is exercising his powers as commander in chief. And I asked you a question.
You never answered it. Can a judge enjoin troop movements overseas? Can a district court judge enjoin troop movements overseas? Stephen?
Speaker 0: Yes, sir. I I am not gonna get into the the
Speaker 1: the This And then you'll know that I'm right.
Speaker 0: Is a separate question.
Speaker 1: You'll know that I'm right.

They said he didn't know what the hell he was doing, and therefore, he's let him go. I said, you know, I'd rather be convicted, Pam. I think that that that was not I said, please convict me. Don't say that. I pardoned hundreds of political prisoners who had been grossly mistreated.
We removed the senior FBI officials who misdirected resources to send SWAT teams after grandmothers and j six hostages. And I it was a great honor for me to fire. I will tell you this, a great honor to fire James Comey. A great, great honor. That was nothing.
