1
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:10,840
Speaker 1: Line from ball Hartbeiner and the Crossroads of America. It's

2
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:19,560
Speaker 1: Tony Katz Today.

3
00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:22,080
Speaker 2: White House Press Briefing, coming right up, Tony Katz, Tony

4
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:24,400
Speaker 2: Katz Today. Good to be here, Good to be with you.

5
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:28,240
Speaker 2: Find everything I do over at Tony Katz dot com.

6
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:31,520
Speaker 2: I don't know what actually leads. I'm assuming it will

7
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:35,559
Speaker 2: be look at the ecological disaster that Democrats allowed to

8
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:41,879
Speaker 2: happen in Maryland, putting millions of gallons of sewage into

9
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:45,040
Speaker 2: the Potomac, and they did nothing about it because they

10
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:49,200
Speaker 2: don't care, because they're incompetent, because they're incapable. I'm assuming

11
00:00:51,120 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 2: that's going to be first things first, that it's going

12
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:06,959
Speaker 2: to be this. Look at these people. They claim to care,

13
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 2: they claim that the environment matters, but when it comes

14
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 2: down to it, they're not willing to do any work.

15
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:21,400
Speaker 2: They don't care what happens. And the press, the media

16
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:26,679
Speaker 2: kept it all silent for as long as they could

17
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 2: because they didn't want to make Democrats look bad. That's

18
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 2: the name of the game. Don't make Democrats look bad.

19
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 2: That's media, that's who they are, that's how they act.

20
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 2: I'm assuming that is going to be first. Now, what

21
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 2: are the questions going to be about from the press,

22
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 2: so that part's so much easier. All Epstein ten thousand

23
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 2: billion percent. It's gonna be questions about Epstein and the

24
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 2: Epstein files and the release and why did it takes

25
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 2: so long and why not this Even though the more

26
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:09,239
Speaker 2: that you see and the more people you see listed

27
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 2: in it, Trump did nothing wrong, they don't care. I mean,

28
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:17,799
Speaker 2: they still want to scream Trump pedophile. These people are

29
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:22,399
Speaker 2: not bright and they're not trying to be. They're all trolls.

30
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:27,239
Speaker 2: It is all about trying to tear down the opposition.

31
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 2: In this case, the opposition is you, because you want

32
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 2: to have a rational conversation. They don't care about rationality.

33
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 2: And so I was having today. I spoke in an

34
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 2: event this morning, and I was talking about the problem

35
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:47,360
Speaker 2: as I see it is the unwillingness to fight. Un

36
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 2: willing to fight is the political left, I'm sorry, it's

37
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 2: the political right against the political left. The political left

38
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 2: is out there saying we want communism, and the political

39
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 2: right will even redistrict if there's anything that signals where

40
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:09,359
Speaker 2: these two parties are at and where the real divide

41
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 2: is in America and the real conversation about strength there.

42
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 2: It is about willingness. They are openly saying communism, global order,

43
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 2: all of it. And Republicans are like, well, we can't redistrict.

44
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 2: Hakim Jeffries is going after Virginia. Why Zakim Jeffries going

45
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 2: after Virginia because their new map would leave one Republican seat,

46
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 2: And he's like, why would you leave a Republican seat?

47
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 2: Democrats are killers. They're not interested in the rules. They're

48
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 2: not interested in this, that and the other. Remember we

49
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 2: were told Republicans if they redistrict, it's breaking the rules.

50
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 2: There's no breaking the rules here. It's a political process.

51
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 2: Of course, you can deca every district, there's no rule

52
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 2: against it. But when Democrats do it, why you are

53
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 2: looking at what democrats do. Republicans think that they can

54
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 2: nice their way through this. Republicans are wrong. How do

55
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 2: you nice your way through the very concept or through

56
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 2: it with a group who has the idea that children

57
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:19,799
Speaker 2: can determine their gender and that mutilation surgery is good.

58
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 2: How do you rationalize with these people? Someone's asking me

59
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 2: in the chatroom. I thought Republicans were redisteresting. They did

60
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 2: in Texas, they did a little bit in North Carolina.

61
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 2: They did not in Indiana. Oh, there are some deal

62
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:39,600
Speaker 2: allegedly broger between Indiana and Maryland, And of course they

63
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,600
Speaker 2: have to go through will things get through their Senate

64
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 2: and will things get through court challenges and all these things,

65
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:50,840
Speaker 2: But they're moving. Folseem ahead. There are states that said

66
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 2: notary districting. I didn't say you wanted to have this conversation.

67
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:00,040
Speaker 2: Sometimes you have to deal with the fact that the

68
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 2: conversation is there. You can't ignore it, you can't avoid it.

69
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 2: It's right there, right in front of your face. You

70
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,480
Speaker 2: may not want to admit to the doctor you were

71
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:18,040
Speaker 2: with a hooker, but something has to explain the chlamydia.

72
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 2: You can't unring the bell? Was that? Was that a

73
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 2: little harsh? As an example? Can I get a Can

74
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 2: I get a ruling on that? Was that a little?

75
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,839
Speaker 2: You say, I'm good until I hear from our executive producer,

76
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:34,239
Speaker 2: Matt Hevlin. I have no idea for it good because

77
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 2: I think I think that might be.

78
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 3: That might that might have been a little that might

79
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:45,279
Speaker 3: have been a little rough. Uh, Yeah, that was I

80
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:47,480
Speaker 3: want to Maybe I should apologize.

81
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 2: I could, I could, I could, I could do better.

82
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 2: I promise I promise I could do better. And the

83
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 2: chat room. By the way, watching on the live stream

84
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 2: is like great example. Cats, that was perfect. I understand

85
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 2: now more was all confusing, but when you were late

86
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:07,360
Speaker 2: Congress and politics to STDs, it all makes perfect sense.

87
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:15,160
Speaker 2: Now we can have a conversation. It's a real lack

88
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 2: of fight because I don't think people define what fight is,

89
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:23,160
Speaker 2: what is who we're dealing with, what is that we're

90
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:26,160
Speaker 2: seeing here. The shutdown, of course, is going to come

91
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:29,119
Speaker 2: up in this press conference. I believe that'll be true.

92
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 2: So let's start with those two things. I think this

93
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:41,160
Speaker 2: press conference is the Potomac looking crappy, the sewage right,

94
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 2: not bad, not bad cats, and then the shutdown. But

95
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:47,800
Speaker 2: I still don't think they'll talk about it in the

96
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:51,040
Speaker 2: right way. Chuck Schumer shut down the Department of Homeland

97
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:53,920
Speaker 2: Security because he doesn't want the Coast Guard removing drugs

98
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,039
Speaker 2: coming in from other countries, because he wants kids in

99
00:06:56,040 --> 00:07:02,599
Speaker 2: America to die on playgrounds. I'm sorry, Are we gonna

100
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 2: fight or not? That's the question. When we come back,

101
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 2: I think the press conference will be going on. Keep

102
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 2: it here. I'm Tony Katz, and this is Tony Katz

103
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 2: Today Steve Bannon, Jeffrey Epstein couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

104
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 2: Tony Katz, Tony Katz today, Good to be here, Good

105
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 2: to be with you. No, I'm not about to apologize

106
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 2: for saying what I just said. Why would I? I

107
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 2: don't think that I did anything wrong, And noting that

108
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 2: Steve Bannon had a lot to do with Epstein, that

109
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 2: there's more and more and more in these files regarding

110
00:07:56,520 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 2: their connection. And I would say to you, as I

111
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 2: have said before, just because you're in the files doesn't

112
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 2: mean it's anything wrong. I don't know if that's the case. Certainly,

113
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 2: what I can argue is that it was obvious that

114
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 2: there was a relationship there, and what did that relationship

115
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 2: actually meant, and how much it was connected and one

116
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 2: of the things they may have done together. I don't

117
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:38,560
Speaker 2: think I would make that accusation on on Bannon. But

118
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:42,200
Speaker 2: is there any question he was trying to get Jeffrey

119
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 2: Epstein to pay for a documentary? Is there any question

120
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:55,840
Speaker 2: that he was trying to get this done. In a

121
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 2: February sixteenth profile in The New York Times, Bannon said,

122
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 2: I'm a film or TV house with decades of experience

123
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 2: interviewing controversial figures. That's the only lens through which these

124
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:08,839
Speaker 2: private communications should be viewed. A documentary filmmaker working over

125
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:11,800
Speaker 2: a period of time to secure fifty hours of interviews

126
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 2: from a reclusive subject, maybe maybe possibly, or he had

127
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:29,200
Speaker 2: you believed he had a lot of money, and you

128
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:33,720
Speaker 2: wanted him, you wanted to get paid. Maybe it's exactly

129
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,720
Speaker 2: as he says. He was giving him compliments and he

130
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 2: was talking him up because he wanted the access so

131
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:44,880
Speaker 2: he could make the film. Who's going to pay for it?

132
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 2: That's my question. Who was going to pay for the film?

133
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:55,200
Speaker 2: Who was putting up the money? Who was going to

134
00:09:55,280 --> 00:10:01,560
Speaker 2: see this? Because this was about rehabilitation, right, So I'm

135
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 2: saying that if the reclusive subject was somebody really well known.

136
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:11,439
Speaker 2: Remember Epstein was known in circles. They did some spots

137
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 2: about him, like Lifestyle, the Rich and Famous stuff about him,

138
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 2: but known, you didn't know who Jeffrey Epstein was. If

139
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:20,599
Speaker 2: you were around in the eighties of the nineties, you

140
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 2: had absolutely no idea. You didn't know, You had no clue.

141
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 2: You weren't in those circles, you weren't hanging out at

142
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:36,440
Speaker 2: Studio fifty four. You didn't know. So when you talk

143
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 2: about the the the twenty teens and there's Beannen saying, hey,

144
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 2: I want to get access, I want to make this thing.

145
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:49,439
Speaker 2: Why would you want to make that thing? He still

146
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 2: wasn't known. He was known to certain celebrities, and he

147
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 2: was known of course for the indictments that the issues

148
00:10:57,559 --> 00:10:59,840
Speaker 2: in Florida, but in the in the in the main,

149
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:03,200
Speaker 2: who would know who are you going to sell this to?

150
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 2: So it wasn't I don't think it would make sense

151
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:12,440
Speaker 2: as a business that Bannon would be like, yeah, we'll

152
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:14,439
Speaker 2: just go on, I want to make a documentary about you.

153
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:17,840
Speaker 2: I think it would make sense that he was offering

154
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 2: this oh so important rehabilitation. I think that's the story.

155
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:35,320
Speaker 2: That's what he was offering. Meanwhile, as we wait for

156
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:40,480
Speaker 2: the White House briefing to start, you have Minnesota prosecutors

157
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:45,080
Speaker 2: demanding federal evidence in the shooting death of Alex Pretty.

158
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 2: Alex Pretty is the one who a week before was

159
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:53,440
Speaker 2: screaming at ICE agents and breaking their tail light and

160
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 2: the rest. And then he was the one who was

161
00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 2: trying to stop ICE agents. He was thrown to the ground,

162
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 2: a gun was removed from him, and then he was

163
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 2: shot and killed. Did someone say gun and then other

164
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 2: officers fired. This is why you need investigations and you

165
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:11,840
Speaker 2: can then get answers to how in the world this happened.

166
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:15,440
Speaker 2: But that does not mean Alex Preddy was a good guy,

167
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 2: not in the slightest I will never buy into that.

168
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:22,720
Speaker 2: I could buy in to the fact that he shouldn't

169
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 2: have been killed, but you can't get me to buy

170
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:26,600
Speaker 2: into the fact that he was somehow some decent guy,

171
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 2: some good guy, some stand up guy. Oh hell no.

172
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:37,840
Speaker 2: Hiding evidence and obstructing our investigation is unacceptable and indicates

173
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:40,960
Speaker 2: a total lack of confidence in their agent's actions that

174
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 2: According to the Heneman County Attorney, Mary Moriarty, we are

175
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 2: prepared to take further legal action should the Department of

176
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:50,199
Speaker 2: Homeland Security and the Department of Justice failed to meet

177
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:53,960
Speaker 2: our deadline and continue to obstruct our investigations. Our work

178
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 2: will reflect our commitment to transparency and accountability, even as

179
00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:02,960
Speaker 2: the federal government tries to avoid both. The county filed

180
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 2: a letter. I think it's pronounced twoey to ou h

181
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 2: y am, I pronouncing that properly. It's a process of

182
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:12,960
Speaker 2: asking a federal agency to release official information documents, video

183
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 2: testimony from federal employees for use in non federal cases.

184
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 2: So if they're not providing the information, I would agree

185
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,679
Speaker 2: that there I don't know where the opportunity is to

186
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 2: not provide it. I think that this should be remembered

187
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 2: every time information is not given to the Feds. But again,

188
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 2: I'm not here to try an obvius gate or try

189
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 2: to run cover for the agents for the actions of

190
00:13:52,280 --> 00:14:00,319
Speaker 2: ICE agents. If a failure occurred, a massive one that

191
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 2: we're talking about the loss of life and there're gonna

192
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:04,679
Speaker 2: be people have to deal with it. If there was

193
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 2: lying involved, as we know about this conversation on the

194
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:10,600
Speaker 2: federal side, well then people who lied have to go

195
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:17,120
Speaker 2: to jail. No lying will be tolerated, thank you very much.

196
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 2: So with that, I'm not sure if the Feds can

197
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:25,680
Speaker 2: say we're working on our investigation and then we'll release

198
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:28,240
Speaker 2: it to you, because if we release it to you,

199
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:30,160
Speaker 2: you're just gonna leak it everywhere. You're gonna do whatever

200
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:32,520
Speaker 2: with it, and you're not gonna it's going to affect

201
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 2: our ability to engage properly, which is very much how

202
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:42,760
Speaker 2: you guys act. You work in a way to try

203
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:50,280
Speaker 2: and prevent us from engaging properly. But I don't know

204
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 2: how long you're gonna be able to go without giving

205
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:57,960
Speaker 2: this information. Then there's one of the great headlines. Oh,

206
00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:05,520
Speaker 2: this is just just just spectacular. This is newsmax. Obama's

207
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:08,560
Speaker 2: dismissed Trump as a clown ahead of the twenty sixteen win.

208
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 2: How many more things could the Obama team have been

209
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 2: wrong about? How many more things could they possibly have

210
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 2: been wrong about? They were wrong about Iran, they were

211
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 2: wrong about Russia in the debates, they were wrong about everything,

212
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 2: wrong about climate They're wrong all the time. They were

213
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:43,760
Speaker 2: just dumb people. New York Times reporting that newly released

214
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 2: interviews that were compiled by Columbia reveal how dismissed it.

215
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:50,760
Speaker 2: If Obama's inner circle was of Trump in the early years,

216
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 2: David Axelrod didn't expect it.

217
00:15:58,440 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 1: This was.

218
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:06,760
Speaker 2: Twenty eleven White House Correspondents Association dinner. Now that dinner

219
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 2: is highlighted as the moment that Trump said I'm running

220
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 2: for office, because there was Barack Obama as president from

221
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:26,000
Speaker 2: the stage, mocking Trump, mocking the persona. The berther claims,

222
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 2: which I again, I mean, the whole thing was nutty.

223
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 2: But Obama's the one with the history of claiming he's

224
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 2: from here, there and everywhere. He believed he had written

225
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 2: forwards and books and everything else. He's the one who

226
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:44,520
Speaker 2: was purposeful about not clearing these things up. Guy tells

227
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:46,880
Speaker 2: me he's born in Hawaii. You're born in Hawaii. I'd

228
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:53,640
Speaker 2: leave it be. But that is seen as the moment

229
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:58,040
Speaker 2: that it all changed. That was seen as the moment

230
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:03,680
Speaker 2: where Trump said, oh, oh, we're doing this. Okay, we

231
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 2: will do this. I think I'm gonna run for office.

232
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:10,480
Speaker 2: I think I'm gonna run for office. I think I'm

233
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:12,679
Speaker 2: gonna have a world class time that you mock me.

234
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:15,719
Speaker 2: You think I'm just gonna sit there and take it, okay.

235
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:19,600
Speaker 2: And I think while he sat there and stared at

236
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:22,680
Speaker 2: a bomb and didn't smile and didn't laugh and didn't nod.

237
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:28,160
Speaker 2: While he did all that, he calculated in his head

238
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 2: what it would cost to launch a run. He didn't

239
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 2: know anything else other than I'll be a Trump tower

240
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 2: and on. Now, once I'm running, I need some people.

241
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:39,160
Speaker 2: What is that gonna cost me? Let's figure out gonna

242
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 2: put twenty five million dollars to it right away? And

243
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:45,199
Speaker 2: that's what happened. It is the white House Briefing, and

244
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 2: Caroline Levett has taken the stage.

245
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:51,879
Speaker 4: As always, Let's begin with some scheduling announcements for the

246
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:56,440

Speaker 4: announce that Member States have pledged more than five billion

Speaker 4: dollars towards the Gaza humanitarian and reconstruction efforts, and have

254
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:24,080
Speaker 4: also committed thousands of personnel to the International Stabilization Force

255

Speaker 4: and on Saturday nights, President Trump and the First Lady

263
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:53,119
Speaker 4: will host the annual Governor's Dinner. Next, I'd like to

264
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:56,720
Speaker 4: provide an update on the economy. We're seeing promising signs

265
00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:59,359
Speaker 4: every day that twenty twenty six is going to be

266
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:02,280
Speaker 4: a record successful year for the American people.

267
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 5: Just as President Shup promised.

Speaker 2: things more affordable. Now twenty twenty six is going to

270
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 2: be epic. You got to be able to show it.

271

Speaker 2: That's the key. More from Caroline Levett. When we return,

00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:34,840
Speaker 4: Just the beginning of enormous growth and opportunity that we

276
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 4: are about to witness.

277
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:37,600

282
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:47,440
Speaker 4: we're going to start as always with our new meetings.

283
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:50,320
Speaker 2: No mention of the shutdown in the openings, so I

284
00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:53,160
Speaker 2: would have lost that. Bet Tony Katz, Tony Kats say,

285
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 2: good to be with you. It's the White House Press briefing.

286
00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:58,240
Speaker 2: Of course, there's also ash Wednesday. Good ash Wednesday to

287
00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:03,280
Speaker 2: those who celebrate. And let's start with the questions being

288
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:04,399
Speaker 2: asked in the new mediacy.

289
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:07,480
Speaker 6: Number one source of power across New England, the cheap

290
00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:10,840
Speaker 6: gases in Pennsylvania, the two Highes places to buy gas in.

291
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:13,280
Speaker 5: The country, New York City in Boston.

292
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:16,480
Speaker 6: The problem is the Blue States will not allow the

293
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:19,679
Speaker 6: gas to travel, to produce electricity or to preach customers.

294
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:22,040
Speaker 6: When President Trump first came back in, officers from talk

295
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:24,240
Speaker 6: him and Governor Hocal and New York Post reaching a deal.

296
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:28,639
Speaker 6: When will consumers in the Northeast feel relief from President

297
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:32,679
Speaker 6: Trump's energy policies And what can you do about state

298
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 6: objections to expansion and infrastructure? They have a quick bob up.

299
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:37,120
Speaker 5: Sure, absolutely well.

300
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:40,240
Speaker 4: The President has promised all Americans across the country and

301
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:42,760
Speaker 4: in particular in the Northeast, where we do face much

302
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:47,840
Speaker 4: higher costs of electricity and of energy unfortunately because of

303
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:51,280
Speaker 4: the Democrat policies in the area. From the federal government's perspective,

304
00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:55,080
Speaker 4: the President and the National Energy Dominance Council Secretaries Write

305
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:57,359
Speaker 4: and Bergham are doing all we can when it comes

306
00:20:57,359 --> 00:21:01,320
Speaker 4: to federal permitting. The drill Baby Drill agenda is obviously underway.

307
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:04,360
Speaker 4: The President has made a huge push for more fossil

308
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:06,840
Speaker 4: fuels in this country. You look at what he did

309
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:09,520
Speaker 4: last week with respect to coal. Coal truly keeps the

310
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:11,720
Speaker 4: lights on in this country. We learn that in the

311
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:14,800
Speaker 4: recent winter storms. However, there's only so much that can

312
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:17,160
Speaker 4: be done at the federal level. That's why the President

313
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:20,239
Speaker 4: has called on blue state governors to participate in this

314
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:24,199
Speaker 4: energy dominance agenda, including governors in New England and the

315
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 4: Northeast by contacting Governor Hokel directly to get this constitution

316
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:31,719
Speaker 4: pipeline underway. This is not only going to bring down

317
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:34,160
Speaker 4: the cost of energy in the Northeast, it's also going

318
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:38,840
Speaker 4: to support job growth and energy affordability and more opportunity

319
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:41,200
Speaker 4: for workers in the Northeast. And I just have a

320
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:45,719
Speaker 4: quick statistic here on energy that I found fascinating.

321
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:47,920
Speaker 5: And it's obviously true because I'm saying it up here.

322
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:53,040
Speaker 4: Red states with Republican legislators currently enjoy lower average retail

323
00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:57,600
Speaker 4: electricity prices than blue states with Democrat legislatures. And that's

324
00:21:57,640 --> 00:21:59,760
Speaker 4: exactly why the President is calling on all blue state

325
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:01,639
Speaker 4: govern across New England and.

326
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:04,199
Speaker 2: One of the Jogi Kafany Hochel in New York to

327
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:08,000
Speaker 2: do anything with you, working with the administration suicide for

328
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:10,560
Speaker 2: the progressive of this progressive can't have the suicide. They

329
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:14,359
Speaker 2: would rather, They would rather the people suffered in How

330
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:16,840
Speaker 2: do you get them to work with you? How do

331
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:20,080
Speaker 2: you get them to be rational, normal people even when

332
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:23,879
Speaker 2: they have they've built an entire party based one vicious,

333
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:26,000
Speaker 2: foaming at the mouth hates facility.

334
00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:30,240
Speaker 4: The message is that illegal immigration, while the border is secure,

335
00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:33,359
Speaker 4: is still a problem across our entire homeland. And the

336
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:38,200
Speaker 4: previous administration allowed nearly twenty million illegal aliens from countries

337
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:41,120
Speaker 4: all over the world into our country, and the President

338
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:44,280
Speaker 4: and Secretary Noome have done a phenomenal job at deporting.

339
00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:46,520
Speaker 5: Nearly three million.

340
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:50,600
Speaker 4: Illegals have left the country either through deportation or self deportation.

341
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:51,680
Speaker 5: Under the over the past year.

342
00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:54,800
Speaker 4: But obviously there are a lot more illegal alien criminals

343
00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:55,880
Speaker 4: left in our homeland.

344
00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:57,240
Speaker 5: That includes in New England.

345
00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:01,080
Speaker 4: There are many within our communities in New Hampshire, in Maine,

346
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:04,080
Speaker 4: and definitely in Massachusetts and in the Boston suburbs that

347
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:06,800
Speaker 4: need to be arrested, detained and deported back to their

348
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:10,560
Speaker 4: home countries, and so the President and Secretary nomen I

349
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:14,159
Speaker 4: know Ice are engaged with local governors across the whole country,

350
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:17,400
Speaker 4: including in New Hampshire, to open more detention facilities. This

351
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:21,680
Speaker 4: is an unfortunate consequence of the previous administration's border invasion

352
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:24,560
Speaker 4: that the President has thankfully put a stop to. But

353
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:26,520
Speaker 4: of course we still need to grapple with the illegal

354
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:30,240
Speaker 4: alien criminals who are here, and that requires more detention space.

355
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:33,600
Speaker 2: And it also requires ICE not stopping. Do not stop.

356
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:37,119
Speaker 2: You people like strength, This is strength. Can you.

357
00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:41,840
Speaker 7: Unless you want to give us, Can you share a

358
00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:44,000
Speaker 7: little bit about the presidents thinking on whether or not

359
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:47,720
Speaker 7: to strike Iran, who he's talking to, what information he's consuming,

360
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:50,800
Speaker 7: and why a strike might be necessary on a nuclear

361
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:52,960
Speaker 7: program he says was obliterated by the.

362
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:53,840
Speaker 2: Last US strike.

363
00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:57,440
Speaker 4: Well, there's many reasons and arguments that one could make

364
00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:02,560
Speaker 4: for a strike against the against Iran. The President had

365
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:06,080
Speaker 4: a very successful operation as Commander in Chief with Operation

366
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:08,200
Speaker 4: mid Night Hammer, as you know, as you just said,

367
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:11,400
Speaker 4: totally obliterated Iran's nuclear facilities.

368
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:12,960
Speaker 5: The President has.

369
00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:15,040
Speaker 4: Always been very clear though, with respect to Iran or

370
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:17,800
Speaker 4: any country around the world, diplomacy is always his first option,

371
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:21,240
Speaker 4: and Iran would be very wise to make a deal

372
00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:25,119
Speaker 4: with President deal on what this administration. He's talking to

373
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:28,760
Speaker 4: many people. Of course, his National security team first and foremost,

374
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:31,320
Speaker 4: and you know who the members of that team are.

375
00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:35,160
Speaker 4: And this is something obviously the President takes seriously. He's

376
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:37,159
Speaker 4: always thinking about what's in the best interests of the

377
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:40,200
Speaker 4: United States of America, of our military, of the American people,

378
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:43,880
Speaker 4: and that's how he makes decisions with respect to military.

379
00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 2: Can't square the circle on this one. What deal is

380
00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:48,640
Speaker 2: going to get made with the iatola, because that means

381
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:51,720
Speaker 2: that the iotola gets to remain. How does that work

382
00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:53,440
Speaker 2: for the people of Iran who want to be free?

383
00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:55,840
Speaker 2: And Trump said help is on its way. These two

384
00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:58,119
Speaker 2: things don't job. So we are still not at the

385
00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:01,679
Speaker 2: place of what does it mean to stop any further

386
00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:06,280
Speaker 2: possibility of Iran as a nuclear power? How does it

387
00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:09,560
Speaker 2: help the people? How do you crack the IRGZ, the

388
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:13,400
Speaker 2: Islamic Revolutionary guardcore, how do you get the IATOLA out,

389
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:15,600
Speaker 2: How do you stop the money from flowing, the money

390
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:17,800
Speaker 2: from being built? And the only thing I can think

391
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:20,280
Speaker 2: is that the military strike is a military strike on

392
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:23,639
Speaker 2: oil and not on nuclear facilities. That ends the money

393
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:24,800
Speaker 2: and that ends that.

394
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:28,560
Speaker 8: Appela Judge's ruling that in essence, was trying to put

395
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 8: the slavery displays back, arguing that the federal government believe

396
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 8: it had the power to dissemble and disassemble historical truths

397
00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:37,920
Speaker 8: when it has some domain over historical facts. Attend said

398
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:41,040
Speaker 8: it does not. The administration said that you were planning

399
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:45,000
Speaker 8: to put up a updated interpreted materials and provide a

400
00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:48,640
Speaker 8: fuller account of the history of slavery at Independence Hall.

401
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 8: What war was the administration or is the administration.

402
00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:52,280
Speaker 5: Planning to add?

403
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:55,080
Speaker 4: I'm not familiar with this specific instance, and to be

404
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:56,760
Speaker 4: honest with you, but I will check in with the

405
00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:59,440
Speaker 4: appropriate people who are overseeing this and we'll get you

406
00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 4: a more for our answer.

407
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:03,480
Speaker 8: Another question, then, yesterday, in his statement about Jesse Jackson,

408
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:05,760
Speaker 8: the President said, despite the fact that I'm falsely and

409
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:09,159
Speaker 8: consistently called a racist by the scoundals and lunatics on

410
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:12,280
Speaker 8: the radical left Democrats, all, it was always my flavor

411
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 8: to help Jesse along the way, Where or when does

412
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:19,480
Speaker 8: the president believe he's been falsely called racist?

413
00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:25,360
Speaker 5: You're kidding, right, I will pull you plethora of examples.

414
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:27,000
Speaker 4: I'm going to get my team in that room to

415
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:31,159
Speaker 4: start going through the internet of radical democrats throughout the

416
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:34,840
Speaker 4: years ed who have accused this president falsely of being

417
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:36,879
Speaker 4: a racist. And I'm sure there's many people in this

418
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:40,320
Speaker 4: room and on network television across the country lost some.

419
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:40,760
Speaker 5: Of the same.

420
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:42,800
Speaker 4: In fact, I know that because I've seen it with

421
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:45,479
Speaker 4: my own eyes. And the President very much looks forward

422
00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:49,320
Speaker 4: to having a event later this afternoon at three pm

423
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 4: to celebrate Black History Month and to talk about how

424
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:56,640
Speaker 4: his policies are advancing opportunity and prosperity for all Americas.

425
00:26:56,640 --> 00:26:58,000
Speaker 2: That was a serious question.

426
00:26:58,200 --> 00:26:59,680
Speaker 5: Record tax cuts.

427
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:03,400
Speaker 4: Through the account races can access regardless of race.

428
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:05,600
Speaker 5: These are a great thing for the next generation.

429
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:09,680
Speaker 4: President has also awarded hisdreds of millions of dollars in

430
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:12,560
Speaker 4: additional funding to strengthen educational outcomes.

431
00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:15,480
Speaker 2: Historically, Jesse Jackson was a terrible person. He was a

432
00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:16,560
Speaker 2: shakedown artist.

433
00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:21,520
Speaker 5: The President is protecting them of Jesse Jackson, a million black.

434
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:24,440
Speaker 4: Veterans who honorably served in our nation's armed forces. By

435
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:28,359
Speaker 4: reducing the backlog of veterans waiting for their VA benefits

436
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 4: UH and for their home loans through the Veteran Department

437
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:35,399
Speaker 4: of Veterans affairs. So there is a lot this president

438
00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:37,840
Speaker 4: has done for all Americans, regardless of race, and he

439
00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:41,879
Speaker 4: has absolutely been falsely called and sneered as a racist.

440
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:44,159
Speaker 4: And I'm happy to provide you those receipts, and we

441
00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:48,200
Speaker 4: gladly will right after this briefing, Jennifer, go ahead, and

442
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 4: you mentioned the five billion in pledges for the Board

443
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:51,240
Speaker 4: of Peace.

444
00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:53,200
Speaker 5: Will we be able to get a breakdown of which.

445
00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:56,879
Speaker 4: Countries are providing each of those pledges in which countries

446
00:27:57,960 --> 00:27:58,640
Speaker 4: looking forward?

447
00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:00,000
Speaker 5: We're happy to provide that breakdown.

448
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:02,600
Speaker 4: And I'm also happy to provide the list of countries

449
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:04,280
Speaker 4: that will be attending tomorrow.

450
00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:06,240
Speaker 5: I know it's more than twenty countries. I know there's

451
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:07,159
Speaker 5: a lot of interest in that.

452
00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:10,040
Speaker 4: I'll spare myself reading you the list of twenty countries

453
00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:12,359
Speaker 4: from the podium, but we will provide it. And the

454
00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:15,840
Speaker 4: President will be opening the meeting tomorrow with remarks and

455
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:17,960
Speaker 4: will sort of formally be sharing the meeting at the

456
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:20,960
Speaker 4: beginning before he departs for Georgia tomorrow.

457
00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:23,359
Speaker 5: And then on the sewage spill, the sewage pipe it

458
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:25,200
Speaker 5: broke onto toming can you give us an.

459
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:29,680
Speaker 4: Update on the Federals and officialship told CBS that some

460
00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:31,680
Speaker 4: of that structure.

461
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:36,720
Speaker 5: Life wasn't even the most urgent concern. Do you know

462
00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:40,120
Speaker 5: if the government is looking into which other pipes could

463
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:42,240
Speaker 5: be at risk of collassing?

464
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:46,560
Speaker 4: Well, the next step in this process is for any

465
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:50,000
Speaker 4: of the three local jurisdictions involved, whether that's the Commonwealth

466
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:53,000
Speaker 4: of Virginia, the State of Maryland and Governor Moore, or

467
00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:55,880
Speaker 4: the District of Columbia to step forward and to ask

468
00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:58,920
Speaker 4: the federal government for help and to ask for the

469
00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:02,120
Speaker 4: Stafford Act to be implemented here so that the federal

470
00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 4: government can go and take control of this local infrastructure

471
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:09,760
Speaker 4: that has been abandoned and neglected by Governor.

472
00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:11,240
Speaker 5: Moore in Maryland for far too long.

473
00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:14,800
Speaker 4: In fact, it's no secret that Maryland's water and infrastructure

474
00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:18,000
Speaker 4: have been in dire need of repair. Their infrastructure has

475
00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:21,240
Speaker 4: received a nearly failing grade in the twenty twenty five

476
00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:24,040
Speaker 4: report card from the American Society of Civil Engineers. This

477
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:27,280
Speaker 4: is the same grade they've received five years earlier.

478
00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:30,320
Speaker 5: There has been no improvement under the leadership of Governor More.

479
00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:33,240
Speaker 4: He's clearly shown he's incapable of fixing this problem, which

480
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:36,120
Speaker 4: is why President Trump and the federal government are standing

481
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:38,120
Speaker 4: by to step in Governor Moore, meaning.

482
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:41,400
Speaker 2: Governor Westore of Maryland. There was a sewage leak out

483
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:43,960
Speaker 2: of Maryland. It has leaked into the Potomac three hundred

484
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:47,960
Speaker 2: million gallons of sewage. The media refused to cover the story.

485
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:51,240
Speaker 2: And now, of course Trump has said I'm stepping in,

486
00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 2: I'm taking over, and what the What Wes Moore's team,

487
00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:59,960
Speaker 2: the governor of Maryland, has said is well, it's about Tom.

488
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:02,200
Speaker 2: I mean, after all, you're responsible for this.

489
00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:05,760
Speaker 9: A few minutes ago, Maryland's Governor Wes Moore wow as

490
00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:08,360
Speaker 9: he said, if the President wants me to ask nicely,

491
00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:12,360
Speaker 9: our response is this, please, mister President, do your job,

492
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:14,600
Speaker 9: to which.

493
00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:17,280
Speaker 4: I say, I'll ask the President and we will provide

494
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:20,200
Speaker 4: you with the next steps. But in all seriousness, the

495
00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:22,840
Speaker 4: federal government has been preparing plans. The White House has

496
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:25,840
Speaker 4: been in contact with FEMA, with the Army Corps of Engineers,

497
00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:27,520
Speaker 4: with the Environmental Protection Agency.

498
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:29,080
Speaker 5: Again, we've been standing by.

499
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:31,320
Speaker 4: This is a problem we want to fix, not just

500
00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:34,040
Speaker 4: for the federal government, but for everyone who lives in

501
00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:36,040
Speaker 4: the District of Columbia, including all of you.

502
00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:38,040
Speaker 9: So you're welcome to your point about that. There are

503
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:40,600
Speaker 9: a lot of events coming up for America two fifty.

504
00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:43,479
Speaker 9: The President wants people from all over to come to

505
00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:47,280
Speaker 9: the nation's capital. Is he worried that by the summer

506
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:51,280
Speaker 9: the Potomac River will still smell like poop?

507
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:56,040
Speaker 4: He is worried about that, which is why the federal

508
00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:58,560
Speaker 4: government wants to fix it, and we hope that the

509
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:01,200
Speaker 4: local authority will cooperate.

510
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:02,680
Speaker 5: With us in doing so. See.

511
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:06,280
Speaker 2: I would also be concerned about a thing. But Democrats

512
00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:08,960
Speaker 2: immedia like it's Trump's wall, Trump this, Trump that, Trump

513
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:13,880
Speaker 2: didn't do that. No grown ups, no working together, no

514
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:16,440
Speaker 2: matter what the situation, How can I use it to

515
00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:21,240
Speaker 2: a political advantage? How can I hurt my opponent? It's

516
00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:23,640
Speaker 2: really gross stuff. Moore is coming up. Keep it here

517
00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:25,800
Speaker 2: on Tony Katz. This is Tony Kats. Today.

00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:38,600
Speaker 10: that force.

523
00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:40,760
Speaker 4: I don't have a timeline for you today, but again

Speaker 4: Caroline will He'll join us at the event.

526

Speaker 2: All the border piece. Question that's about securing Gaza. Five

527
00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:51,240
Speaker 2: billion dollars have been pledged? Who's pledged that? Where they're

528
00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:53,320
Speaker 2: going to have a meeting about that? Events about that tomorrow.

531
00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:01,560
Speaker 2: doing the press briefing. Always love the press briefing from

532
00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:04,520
Speaker 2: so much great stuff. Like a reporter asking why does

533
00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:08,160
Speaker 2: anyone ever called Donald Trump a racists? Got asked?

534
00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:12,360
Speaker 4: All the president is obviously committed to Let's take it back.

535
00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:14,080
Speaker 2: To Caroline Levitt with the White House.

536
00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:16,960
Speaker 4: Briefingfully president in the United States, which he has done

537
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:19,520
Speaker 4: at a record pace, which has led to the falling

538
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:20,240
Speaker 4: of rents, as.

539
00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:22,000
Speaker 5: I pointed out in my opening remarks.

540
00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:26,240
Speaker 4: Secondly, the President has recently announced that he is fighting

541
00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:30,400
Speaker 4: for a ban on institutional investors in Wall Street billionaire

542
00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:34,160
Speaker 4: corporations from buying up single family homes that should be

543
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:37,360
Speaker 4: lived in, in his opinion, by American families. We know

544
00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:40,320
Speaker 4: this is going to have a remarkable impact on the

545
00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:43,160
Speaker 4: housing market and on prices, in supply and demand for

546
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:46,320
Speaker 4: the American consumer and the American family and then thirdly,

547
00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:49,480
Speaker 4: the President is also expediting permitting as fast as we

548
00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:53,040
Speaker 4: possibly can to build more homes to increase supply, to

549
00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:57,240
Speaker 4: obviously bring down the cost of home ownership and purchasing

550
00:32:57,240 --> 00:32:59,760
Speaker 4: homes for the American people. And then also as I

551
00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:02,160
Speaker 4: ment as well, we do see mortgage rates falling. So

552
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:05,600
Speaker 4: all of this is combining to make housing more affordable

553
00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:06,240
Speaker 4: in this country.

554
00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:07,640
Speaker 5: There's still a lot more to do.

555
00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:10,120
Speaker 4: The President is still digging his way out of the

556
00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:14,280
Speaker 4: mess that was created by Joe Biden's administration in jacking

557
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:17,040
Speaker 4: up mortgage rates and jacking up housing costs. But we

558
00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:20,440
Speaker 4: do see very positive trends in this six months ago

559
00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:25,560
Speaker 4: about of owners, not renters. He wants families to live

560
00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:27,920
Speaker 4: in homes, not institutions and big corporations.

561
00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:33,840
Speaker 2: Michael interview.

562
00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:37,560
Speaker 11: He says that it's not fair that the President is

563
00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:41,000
Speaker 11: saying that Ukraine has to make concessions. He's saying this

564
00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:45,120
Speaker 11: publicly and not Russia. Has the president seen these comments?

565
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:48,280
Speaker 11: And when the President says that Ukraine has to make concessions,

566
00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:50,520
Speaker 11: is here referring to giving up dunboss.

567
00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:53,200
Speaker 4: I think the President would respond to that by saying

568
00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:56,040
Speaker 4: he does not think it's fair that thousands of Ukrainians

569
00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:59,360
Speaker 4: are losing their lives in Russians too, in this deadly war.

570
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:02,520
Speaker 4: And that's why the President and his team have committed

571
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:05,520
Speaker 4: a tremendous amount of time and energy in bringing this

572
00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:07,600
Speaker 4: war that is very far away from the United States

573
00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:10,480
Speaker 4: of America. But nevertheless, this is a president of peace,

574
00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:12,840
Speaker 4: and so he's committed a tremendous amount of time and

575
00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:14,920
Speaker 4: energy to bringing this war to an end.

576
00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:16,400
Speaker 5: Just yesterday there.

577
00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:19,320
Speaker 4: Was another round of trilateral talks between the US, Russia,

578
00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:19,960
Speaker 4: and Ukraine.

579
00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:22,000
Speaker 5: There was meaningful progress made.

580
00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:27,240
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. No peace will occur without land.

581
00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:31,279
Speaker 2: Land is getting given up. NATO has shown that they're

582
00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:32,960
Speaker 2: not putting the force on the ground, and I said,

583
00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:35,720
Speaker 2: not putting troops on the ground. No one has rattled

584
00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:38,520
Speaker 2: Vatimir Putin's cage. He's getting the land. We don't have

585
00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:42,520
Speaker 2: to keep talking about this. Putin thinks he can get

586
00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:44,479
Speaker 2: more and he's not going to come to the table

587
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:47,319
Speaker 2: until he gets what he wants, which means this goes on.

588
00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:51,640
Speaker 2: There's no end in sight. I thought there would be.

589
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:54,319
Speaker 2: I was wrong. There's no end in sight. It's not

590
00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:58,960
Speaker 2: over until it's over the end. We don't have to

591
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:05,759
Speaker 2: think that much harder about it. It is. It is

592
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:13,200
Speaker 2: obvious that this is not going away anytime soon. And

593
00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:17,000
Speaker 2: it's obvious that the Donbass of Danetsk and Lahanski and

594
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:20,920
Speaker 2: possibly the areas of Japorsia, et cetera, are going to

595
00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:27,080
Speaker 2: become Russian territory, not because I want it, because it

596
00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:30,920
Speaker 2: is it is. Let's just grow up. This is what's happening.

597
00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:37,200
Speaker 2: It's not kid ourselves silly if we lie, more is
