1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,679 Speaker 1: The White House Press Secretary. Her name is Caroline Levitt. 2 00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:07,480 Speaker 1: She is going on a tear regarding the DHS shutdown, 3 00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:11,240 Speaker 1: and it seems very clear from this that the White 4 00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:15,080 Speaker 1: House is on board with Speaker Mike Johnson. Democrats have 5 00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:18,080 Speaker 1: done this. Democrats have done that. It is the Democrats 6 00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:20,560 Speaker 1: are responsible here. They don't want to get people funded, 7 00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:23,599 Speaker 1: they don't want to get people paid. This is not 8 00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:26,360 Speaker 1: a conversation of we need to bring everybody to the table. 9 00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:30,400 Speaker 1: This is this is the Democrats fault. Which for the record, 10 00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:31,720 Speaker 1: it is. 11 00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:35,320 Speaker 2: Democrats refuse to fund ICE because they want millions and 12 00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:38,199 Speaker 2: millions of illegal aliens to pour into the country, just 13 00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:41,959 Speaker 2: like they were under the Biden administration. They want murderers 14 00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:45,040 Speaker 2: and rapists and thugs to remain in your communities rather 15 00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:48,479 Speaker 2: than be removed by ICE and border patrol agents. 16 00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:51,600 Speaker 1: No, and see the way to say that, Caroline Levitt, 17 00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:56,040 Speaker 1: is they want votes from illegal immigrants. They want the 18 00:00:56,200 --> 00:01:01,080 Speaker 1: census to benefit them, and they don't care if rapists 19 00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:04,320 Speaker 1: and murderers and drug dealers are in your communities, harming 20 00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:09,440 Speaker 1: your children, are killing them. See that that's the manuver. 21 00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:14,280 Speaker 1: Just make that maneuver, Caroline. From that to that you 22 00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:18,720 Speaker 1: will win that argument. It takes away their ability to say, 23 00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:23,440 Speaker 1: how dare you no? It's exactly what happened against the repercussions. 24 00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:27,080 Speaker 2: The Democrats created this mess. They are the reason for 25 00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:30,119 Speaker 2: long lines at airports and tens of thousands of employees 26 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:33,760 Speaker 2: going without pay. Once again, President Trump is cleaning up 27 00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:36,480 Speaker 2: their mess because he cares more about the American people 28 00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:40,560 Speaker 2: than destructive, petty partisan politics. But that I will take 29 00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:42,560 Speaker 2: your questions today here in our new media seat, we 30 00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:44,560 Speaker 2: have wid lineman. Thank you for being here, and why 31 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:45,160 Speaker 2: don't you kick. 32 00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:45,760 Speaker 1: Out I know who that is? 33 00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:48,760 Speaker 3: Thank you bushs for you, Thank you. 34 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,480 Speaker 1: Well, Yes, his microphone isn't going to be on. I 35 00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:57,320 Speaker 1: have no idea who this dude is. He is wearing 36 00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:59,920 Speaker 1: a shirt that I'm pretty sure he got on sale 37 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 1: at j C. Penning, and he's a a no tie. 38 00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:11,320 Speaker 1: Now I'm a no tie guy, white House tie, white 39 00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:12,919 Speaker 1: House tie. 40 00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:17,639 Speaker 2: Department of Homeland Security with former Senator now Secretary Mullen. 41 00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:20,920 Speaker 2: I'm joining the President's cabinet. I can assure the American 42 00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:23,000 Speaker 2: people there has not been a change in policy. It 43 00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:25,520 Speaker 2: has always been the policy of this president in this 44 00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:29,359 Speaker 2: administration to deport the worst of the worst illegal alien 45 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:30,800 Speaker 2: criminals from our communities. 46 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:31,720 Speaker 3: That's something I know. 47 00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:35,640 Speaker 2: Secretary Mullen remains wholeheartedly committed to doing, and it's something 48 00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:38,639 Speaker 2: that is overwhelmingly popular with the American people, and it's 49 00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:41,640 Speaker 2: something that is necessary to protect our homeland and to 50 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:45,320 Speaker 2: prevent deaths of Americans in our country. Just last week, 51 00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:48,680 Speaker 2: Sheridan Gorman, a young woman in Chicago, was shot and 52 00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,520 Speaker 2: killed on the street walking with her friends outside of 53 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:55,200 Speaker 2: her university by a legal alien from Venezuela who had 54 00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:57,960 Speaker 2: no right to be here in the first place. And 55 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,720 Speaker 2: it's despicable that Democrats are currently defunding the department that's 56 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:05,040 Speaker 2: responsible for removing illegal aliens like that. And I would 57 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:08,640 Speaker 2: also add its despicable that the lack of coverage of 58 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:11,200 Speaker 2: this young woman's case, of her life and the way 59 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:14,520 Speaker 2: that it was tragically cut short. I saw a survey 60 00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:16,160 Speaker 2: over the weekend that I'd like to bring to all 61 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:18,880 Speaker 2: of your attention. This is the media coverage of the 62 00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:22,040 Speaker 2: case of Sheridan Gorman. You have ABC News has spent 63 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:27,000 Speaker 2: one minute in nineteen seconds between two days when this 64 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:30,840 Speaker 2: case was first alerted. You have CBS two minutes in 65 00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:34,760 Speaker 2: one second. You have NBC twenty three seconds spent on 66 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:38,360 Speaker 2: the life of a young, beautiful American woman whose life 67 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:41,040 Speaker 2: was taken short by an illegal alien who should have 68 00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:42,600 Speaker 2: never been here in the first place. When we are 69 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,160 Speaker 2: in the middle of a battle on Capitol Hill with 70 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:48,080 Speaker 2: a major political party, the Democrat Party, who wants to 71 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 2: defund the agency that is responsible for protecting Americans. I 72 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:54,120 Speaker 2: think her life was worth more than twenty three seconds 73 00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:56,120 Speaker 2: on cable television. And I think the people in this 74 00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:59,360 Speaker 2: room have a responsibility to report on cases like this 75 00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:02,520 Speaker 2: because because it just exemplifies why the president believes so 76 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,040 Speaker 2: strongly in deporting illegal aliens from our communities. 77 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 1: And that is a winner. I mean, it's horrifying that 78 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:12,320 Speaker 1: that has to be the winner, but that's the winner. 79 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:16,719 Speaker 1: You don't care about these lives, you're your liars. You 80 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:20,679 Speaker 1: care about moving the ideology, and the ideology is allow 81 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,800 Speaker 1: people in the country illegally to stay, and you're doing 82 00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:26,880 Speaker 1: it for power, and the power comes from the vote. 83 00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,640 Speaker 1: So when I say they're keeping people in the country 84 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:32,240 Speaker 1: or want ice gone so they don't remove people from 85 00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:34,080 Speaker 1: the country so they can get more votes and do 86 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:37,480 Speaker 1: better in a census, the facts just lay themselves out 87 00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:41,400 Speaker 1: beautifully done by Caroline Levitt. Right there she had she 88 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:43,359 Speaker 1: was holding up the graphic, the sheet of paper that 89 00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:46,000 Speaker 1: shows the three networks. 90 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:49,400 Speaker 3: Well done. Thank you for the question, So Josh and 91 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:50,160 Speaker 3: go ahead, Carol. 92 00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,480 Speaker 2: I have two questions, one on Iran and one on 93 00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:55,640 Speaker 2: DHS funding. On Iran, the President has said that the 94 00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:59,640 Speaker 2: administration is talking to a new or and more reasonable regime. 95 00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:01,440 Speaker 4: How come. 96 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,880 Speaker 1: They changed the camera angle and it changes the audio 97 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:11,080 Speaker 1: that Dasha Burns is asking the question. She's asking, how 98 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:13,120 Speaker 1: can you be sure that the party you're speaking to 99 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:17,560 Speaker 1: in Iran is legitimate, has legitimate power? Mark you or 100 00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:19,599 Speaker 1: Rubio says He's not so sure. Are you talking to 101 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:20,360 Speaker 1: other groups as well? 102 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:22,600 Speaker 3: That's taking place and the ongoing negotiations. 103 00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:25,400 Speaker 2: Of course, anything that they say to us privately will 104 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:28,280 Speaker 2: be tested and we will ensure that they are being 105 00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:30,200 Speaker 2: held accountable to their word and if they are not, 106 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 2: the President has laid out the military consequences that the 107 00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:36,400 Speaker 2: Iranian regime will see if they don't hold true to 108 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:38,800 Speaker 2: the words that we are hearing privately behind the scenes. 109 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,880 Speaker 2: When the President says more reasonable, again, these folks are 110 00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:45,400 Speaker 2: appearing more reasonable behind the scenes privately in these conversations 111 00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,280 Speaker 2: than perhaps some of the previous leaders who are now 112 00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:51,080 Speaker 2: no longer on planet Earth because they lied to the 113 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:55,240 Speaker 2: United States and they strung us along in negotiations, and 114 00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:57,960 Speaker 2: that was unacceptable to the president, which is why many 115 00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:00,640 Speaker 2: of the previous leaders were killed. So again, this is 116 00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:03,360 Speaker 2: another historic opportunity for Ron to do the right thing, 117 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:07,680 Speaker 2: to rid themselves of their nuclear ambitions and to come 118 00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,599 Speaker 2: to a deal with this president in the administration, or 119 00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:13,440 Speaker 2: again they will see the grave consequences of the United 120 00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:15,960 Speaker 2: States Armed Forces, which they are continuing to see every 121 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:17,599 Speaker 2: day throughout this operation. 122 00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:17,960 Speaker 3: On the agents. 123 00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:23,279 Speaker 1: So now they're going back to the question the US 124 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,800 Speaker 1: they're continuing today through the operations, and the question is 125 00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:30,440 Speaker 1: how long can the administration keep paying Tessa without action 126 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:31,200 Speaker 1: from Congress? 127 00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:32,640 Speaker 2: Right? 128 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:34,600 Speaker 1: Can you do this for forever? Can you can you 129 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:36,960 Speaker 1: keep this up for months? Where does the money come from? 130 00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:39,039 Speaker 1: Which is a legitimate question. 131 00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,279 Speaker 2: We hope, So, I mean, of course, the president just 132 00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:46,279 Speaker 2: can't keep signing presidential memorandums and proclamations every time Congress 133 00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:49,360 Speaker 2: fails to do its job, and every time Democrats are 134 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:52,960 Speaker 2: holding our entire country hostage, picking and choosing which programs 135 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:56,200 Speaker 2: and agencies they want to fund just because they don't 136 00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:57,799 Speaker 2: like this administration's policies. 137 00:06:57,839 --> 00:06:59,600 Speaker 3: That's not how it's supposed to work. 138 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:04,560 Speaker 2: They vote seven times against funding DHS over partisan in 139 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:07,760 Speaker 2: political reasons. And so again the President has stepped in 140 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:09,640 Speaker 2: to do the right thing at this moment in time. 141 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,880 Speaker 2: But the President is also encouraging Congress to come back 142 00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:16,640 Speaker 2: to Washington to permanently fix this problem and to fund 143 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,360 Speaker 2: and reopen the Department of Homeland Security entirely. 144 00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:21,840 Speaker 3: Sure, I'm kill Stephen, Thank you, Caroline. 145 00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:26,040 Speaker 4: The two questions one on TSA, one on Ron on TSAV. 146 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:28,560 Speaker 3: Ordinary Americans watching the briefing. 147 00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:34,120 Speaker 1: How so you're somebody at home, You're watching the briefing 148 00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:38,440 Speaker 1: regarding TSA, and the question is how long until things 149 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:43,480 Speaker 1: go back to normal at the airports after the President 150 00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:47,120 Speaker 1: engages this action of paying them. And the President on Iran? 151 00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:48,160 Speaker 1: You know again the. 152 00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:51,840 Speaker 2: President commander in chief has always stated four to six 153 00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:54,520 Speaker 2: weeks estimated timeline for Operation epic Fury. 154 00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:56,840 Speaker 3: We're on day thirty. 155 00:07:56,640 --> 00:08:00,120 Speaker 2: Today, So again you do the math on how much 156 00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:03,640 Speaker 2: longer the Pentagon needs to fully achieve the objectives of 157 00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:07,559 Speaker 2: Operation Epicurity, which I will reiterate destroy the Iranian Navy, 158 00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:13,080 Speaker 2: destroy their ballistic missiles, dismantle their missile and drone production infrastructure, 159 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:17,360 Speaker 2: significantly weaken their proxies throughout the course of this operation, 160 00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:20,400 Speaker 2: and then of course preventing Iran from ever obtaining a 161 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:24,720 Speaker 2: nuclear weapon. To your first question, Stephen, about TSA and airports, 162 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,680 Speaker 2: nothing will be truly normal again until Democrats do the 163 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:30,800 Speaker 2: right thing to fund this agency fully.
