And only 177 00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:30,360 Speaker 2: thanks largely to Vladimir Putin's restraint do we not have 178 00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:34,199 Speaker 2: missiles flying into America Because American missiles are flying into Russia. 179 00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:39,160 Speaker 2: The whole Russian Ukrainian project is largely built on oh 180 00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:40,920 Speaker 2: Vladimir Putin woul't do that. Well, I thought he's a 181 00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:43,000 Speaker 2: mad man that's going to march through Europe. So which 182 00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:45,080 Speaker 2: one is it? That is that Vladimir Putin is going 183 00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:48,160 Speaker 2: to march all through Europe tomorrow like Adolf Hitler, Or 184 00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:49,920 Speaker 2: is it that, Oh, don't worry. We can launch missiles 185 00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,280 Speaker 2: into his hometown and do drun strikes in Moscow, but 186 00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:54,280 Speaker 2: Vladimir Putin won't do that because he's smarter than that. 187 00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:58,359 Speaker 2: So which one is it? Exactly, it's the Russian paradox. 188 00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:08,360 Speaker 2: But first, as we both agreed, we want to stop 189 00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:11,920 Speaker 2: the millions of deaths taking place in the war in 190 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:15,240 Speaker 2: Russia Ukraine. Now I don't know if it's been millions 191 00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:19,360 Speaker 2: of deaths, but if you count famine starvation, people that 192 00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:23,520 Speaker 2: have been displaced, millions of lives have been irreversibly damaged 193 00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:30,120 Speaker 2: casualties at least a million. So that's spot on. President 194 00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:33,640 Speaker 2: Putin even used my very strong campaign motto of common sense, 195 00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:34,800 Speaker 2: and let me tell you how the Meatia is going to 196 00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:36,720 Speaker 2: do this. I'm going to do the Russia INMBO. Right now, 197 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:39,679 Speaker 2: the media is going to attack Donald Trump saying that 198 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,880 Speaker 2: Vladimir Putin flattered Trump and tried to play to his 199 00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:45,880 Speaker 2: ego by using campaign motto, and then Trump gave him 200 00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:49,160 Speaker 2: the whole farm. That's a bunch of nonsense. Don't fall 201 00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:53,160 Speaker 2: for that. Instead, you have a dialogue happening one on one, 202 00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:56,679 Speaker 2: not intell agens at intell agency, not bureaucrats, a bureaucrat, 203 00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:59,520 Speaker 2: not administrative. Say to administrative, to say you have principle 204 00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:04,840 Speaker 2: to principle, you have leader to leader. And by the way, 205 00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:08,840 Speaker 2: if Vladimir Putin is using common sense, he's right. There 206 00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:11,520 Speaker 2: is no common sense for us to continue to supply 207 00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:17,120 Speaker 2: American weaponry in Ukraine towards what aim and objective we 208 00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:20,560 Speaker 2: both believe very strongly in it. We agreed to work 209 00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:24,520 Speaker 2: together very closely. Oh and here's the big news, everybody, 210 00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:28,120 Speaker 2: It's the big one. You ready. It's gonna shake the 211 00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:31,800 Speaker 2: very body politic of DC. You can feel the trembling, 212 00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:37,400 Speaker 2: the screaming, the ranker, the I can't believe they're gonna 213 00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:39,320 Speaker 2: do it. Oh and I love this, This is my 214 00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:47,480 Speaker 2: favorite part. We both agreed to visit each other's nations. 215 00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:50,920 Speaker 2: That's right, President Donald Trump is gonna go to Russia. 216 00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:53,199 Speaker 2: You know who else went to Russia? Ronald Reagan went 217 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:57,080 Speaker 2: to Russia. So before you allow the media to propagandize you, 218 00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:00,880 Speaker 2: Ronald Reagan visited Russia. That's right. Did you know that 219 00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:07,280 Speaker 2: during all the Cold War antagonism, Ronald Reagan stepped up 220 00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:12,079 Speaker 2: like a baller and visited Russia. And yeah, Vladimir Putin 221 00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:14,560 Speaker 2: should visit America. I don't know if he'll get a 222 00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:16,600 Speaker 2: warm welcomer, not a warm welcome, but I want to 223 00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:21,000 Speaker 2: hear him out. I think Vladimir Putin should sit down 224 00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:23,440 Speaker 2: for a long interview on the Charlie Kirk Show. I 225 00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:26,280 Speaker 2: think Vladimir Putin is now with long interview with Joe Rogan. 226 00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:29,640 Speaker 2: I think Vladimir Putin should go to Austin, Texas and 227 00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:32,400 Speaker 2: sit down with Joe Rogan and let's hear his side out. 228 00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:36,200 Speaker 2: I don't think he'll be into the marijuana stuff, but 229 00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:40,920 Speaker 2: you ever know, have a little back and forth, go 230 00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:44,560 Speaker 2: down the Joe Rogan experience. Come to our country. We 231 00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:47,400 Speaker 2: will treat Vladimir Putin respectfully. Now, I'm not as big 232 00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:50,800 Speaker 2: as fan. By the way, there's Ronald Reagan going to Russia. 233 00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:54,600 Speaker 2: So before all these apparatics on TV start screaming and 234 00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:58,240 Speaker 2: cattlewalling about, Oh, Trump's gonna go to Russia. That's Ronald Reagan, 235 00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:05,400 Speaker 2: in the midst of the height of nuclear proliferation, visiting Russia, 236 00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:08,920 Speaker 2: during all the cattlewauling that we're going to go towards 237 00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:13,400 Speaker 2: the nuclear apocalypse. That's Ronald Reagan visiting Russia. And I 238 00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:16,560 Speaker 2: think Putin should come here and he will be He 239 00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:21,040 Speaker 2: will be met with respect and honor and dignity. We're 240 00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:23,120 Speaker 2: gonna keep going through this because I'm only made about halfway. 241 00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:26,960 Speaker 2: But this is one of the more profound promising developments 242 00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:32,680 Speaker 2: against the insanity of this Russian Ukrainian war that we've 243 00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:35,360 Speaker 2: been involved in. And this is President Trump delivering not 244 00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:37,720 Speaker 2: just on a campaign promise. This is above and beyond. 245 00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:42,360 Speaker 2: This is nobel peace price stuff, very promising. We're gonna 246 00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:45,000 Speaker 2: keep on breaking it down. Roughgreens dot com. That is 247 00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:49,160 Speaker 2: ruffgreens dot com. Slash Kirk.

And the 275 00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:17,320 Speaker 2: mockingbird media they're not going to know how to handle this. 276 00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:20,520 Speaker 2: They're all purchased by the intel agencies, in by the 277 00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:23,600 Speaker 2: neoconservatives and the warmongers because they do everything they possibly 278 00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:26,880 Speaker 2: can to try to get us into another unnecessary war. 279 00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:31,600 Speaker 2: This is Trump at his best. This is peak Trump. 280 00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:33,280 Speaker 2: This is ten out of ten Trump. This is why 281 00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:35,720 Speaker 2: we worked so hard. This is why we chase ballots, 282 00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:38,840 Speaker 2: why we registered voters. This is the Trump that we 283 00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:44,800 Speaker 2: wanted in office, uprooting all of the uncon all of 284 00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:48,400 Speaker 2: the conventional norms, shaking up the matrix. Why can't we 285 00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:51,560 Speaker 2: do that? Why not? And they don't have good answers. 286 00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:58,000 Speaker 2: I cannot emphasize the profundity of what it will be 287 00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:01,440 Speaker 2: for President Donald Trump to visit Russia. I think it's awesome. 288 00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:04,720 Speaker 2: I think it is awesome. I think we'll show the 289 00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:06,639 Speaker 2: Russian people that no, we actually don't hate you, We're 290 00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:08,600 Speaker 2: not at war. With you.

Actually, I don't want to 293 00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:15,199 Speaker 2: kill Ukrainians. What have they ever done to us? What 294 00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:18,160 Speaker 2: the cartels have done something to us? And yet we're 295 00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:20,360 Speaker 2: afraid to even whisper at them.

This is Trump at his best. It 298 00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:41,960 Speaker 2: is ten out of ten Trump. This is why we 299 00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:43,720 Speaker 2: work so hard to get him in office. That's why 300 00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:45,280 Speaker 2: you work so hard to get him in office. That's 301 00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:46,880 Speaker 2: why all of you guys knocked on doors and chase 302 00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:51,359 Speaker 2: ballots and came to our Commit one hundred program because 303 00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:54,240 Speaker 2: we saw what Joe Biden, and not Joe Biden, the 304 00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:59,040 Speaker 2: senior staff of Washington DC, we're doing with this Russia conflict. 305 00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:03,480 Speaker 2: They were barely us blindly towards maybe a nuclear conflict, 306 00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:06,440 Speaker 2: but definitely a hot war which we were already funding, financing, 307 00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:10,680 Speaker 2: heavily involvement. And Trump is a true believer in making 308 00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:13,000 Speaker 2: a deal go to Russia? Why not? Why can't I 309 00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:15,280 Speaker 2: do that? Reagan did that? Why can't I go to Russia. Oh, no, 310 00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:17,040 Speaker 2: you can't do it, same reason he went to North Korea, 311 00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:20,320 Speaker 2: go sit down with Lamputin, strike a deal, and the 312 00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:25,480 Speaker 2: killing you see. But DC is full of below average 313 00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:33,040 Speaker 2: operator bureaucrats that are infected with the same disease. It's 314 00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:36,000 Speaker 2: not about peace, it's about war. It's not about prosperity. 315 00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:42,679 Speaker 2: It's about a quagmire. President Trump continues, We have also 316 00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:47,320 Speaker 2: agreed to have our respective teams start negotiations immediately, and 317 00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:50,480 Speaker 2: we'll begin by calling Zelenski of Ukraine to inform him 318 00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:54,400 Speaker 2: of the conversation, something I'll be doing right now. By 319 00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:57,479 Speaker 2: the way, I think this is all incredibly interesting timing. 320 00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:04,080 Speaker 2: JD is the Munich Security conference this weekend. Oof. Oh, 321 00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:06,439 Speaker 2: the shadow government in the deep state, they are not happy. 322 00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:10,199 Speaker 2: They want more people dead. The shadow Government's fine a 323 00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:13,040 Speaker 2: million people dead. Let me be as morally clear as 324 00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:17,760 Speaker 2: I possibly can. Joe Biden rejecting peace deals that, by 325 00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:20,720 Speaker 2: the way, would have been even better for Ukraine in 326 00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:24,800 Speaker 2: twenty twenty two than they are today in twenty twenty five, 327 00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:28,600 Speaker 2: which got over a million people killed. Joe Biden will 328 00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:31,400 Speaker 2: be responsible for one of the greatest crimes against humanity 329 00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:34,040 Speaker 2: of this generation probably up there with George W. Bush 330 00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:39,080 Speaker 2: completely senseless, and Joe Biden and Tony Blinken and Kamala 331 00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:42,639 Speaker 2: Harris and the entire cabal of criminals. They said, oh no, 332 00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:45,840 Speaker 2: we can't broker peace. But now the peace deal that 333 00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:49,080 Speaker 2: is on the table is far better for Russia than 334 00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:51,000 Speaker 2: the one if they would have accepted that. And we 335 00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:53,600 Speaker 2: told them in Istanbul, you got to take this deal. 336 00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:56,280 Speaker 2: Oh no, no, no, can't do that because we can't 337 00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:59,800 Speaker 2: bend a need a Russia and these people are responsible 338 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:03,600 Speaker 2: for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of women and children. 339 00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:10,080 Speaker 2: I've asked Secretary State Mark Rubio, who's doing a great job, 340 00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:15,080 Speaker 2: by the way, great job Marco Rubio, John Ratcliffe, Michael 341 00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:22,040 Speaker 2: Walls and Moore to lead negotiations. Steve Witkoff, I feel 342 00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:24,639 Speaker 2: strongly will be successful. Millions of people have died in 343 00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:26,680 Speaker 2: a war that never would have happened if I was president, 344 00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:28,639 Speaker 2: but it did happen, so it must end, so no 345 00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:31,080 Speaker 2: more lives should be lost. I want to thank President 346 00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:33,080 Speaker 2: Putin for his time and effort with respect to this call, 347 00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:36,280 Speaker 2: and for the release yesterday of Mark Fogel, a wonderful 348 00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:38,600 Speaker 2: man that I personally greeted last night at the White House. 349 00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:41,200 Speaker 2: By the way, here's the front page of Wall Street 350 00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:44,080 Speaker 2: Journal Mark Fogel Joe Biden didn't get him home right there, 351 00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:51,720 Speaker 2: kissing the ground when he comes into America. And by 352 00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:54,440 Speaker 2: the way, Zelensky says today that he hopes to finalize 353 00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:56,680 Speaker 2: agreements in the United States to the MNIX Security Conference 354 00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:59,399 Speaker 2: that would ensure continued US support for Ukraine. Is it 355 00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:02,240 Speaker 2: fights Russia invasion. I'm totally against no more money for Ukraine. 356 00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:05,760 Speaker 2: That's my stated position. You're on your own, buddy, and 357 00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:08,880 Speaker 2: the war. We're not gonna have another Afghanistan here. You're 358 00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:10,480 Speaker 2: not coming into NATO. By the way, Pete heigx Seth 359 00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:13,760 Speaker 2: came out today said no NATO, but no guaranteed assurances 360 00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:16,840 Speaker 2: for vlaimy' Zelenski. This guy is laundering money in every 361 00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:19,960 Speaker 2: possible direction. He's running guns, probably back to the Mexican 362 00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:24,320 Speaker 2: drug cartels. There's some evidence to suggest that he's an 363 00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:33,439 Speaker 2: intel opera. He's an intel op he wants war. I 364 00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:37,600 Speaker 2: believe this effort will lead to a successful conclusion and 365 00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:43,800 Speaker 2: hopefully soon. This all comes down to a fundamental question, 366 00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:49,200 Speaker 2: what do we want with Ukraine and Russia? When war 367 00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:53,520 Speaker 2: broke out. We were so clear on this program. We 368 00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:57,160 Speaker 2: were so clear that this is not going to end well. 369 00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:01,800 Speaker 2: We asked the right questions, and unfortunately a million people 370 00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:03,120 Speaker 2: had to die to get us to the place here. 371 00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:07,960 Speaker 2: Our long term interest is clearly that we should be 372 00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:11,280 Speaker 2: allies with Russia. Clearly, for our first one hundred and 373 00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:14,080 Speaker 2: fifty years we were. And again I want somebody to 374 00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:16,240 Speaker 2: tell me. Anyone in the Intel operation, come up to me, 375 00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:20,960 Speaker 2: Please tell me, lawmaker whatever, why do we hate Russia? 376 00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:22,879 Speaker 2: Don't tell me, because the CIA put you in some 377 00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:26,720 Speaker 2: skiff and scared you with a bunch of wou woo voodoo. 378 00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:31,600 Speaker 2: Russia was an ally in the Revolution, it was an 379 00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:34,919 Speaker 2: ally in the Civil War. And yes, of course they 380 00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:38,040 Speaker 2: had the nineteen seventeen revolution, both in February and October 381 00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:40,240 Speaker 2: of that year. Then Vladimir Lenin led and changed that 382 00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:43,720 Speaker 2: country profoundly. But when when chips were down, we decided 383 00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:49,480 Speaker 2: to ally with Russia against the Axis. We went into 384 00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:51,720 Speaker 2: a Cold War, and then we won the Cold War. 385 00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:56,440 Speaker 2: And we even said in a gesture, we want them 386 00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:59,680 Speaker 2: in NATO, and then our Intel agency said, no, they 387 00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:03,520 Speaker 2: want to be involved in NATO. This is President Trump 388 00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:06,400 Speaker 2: at his best the peace. President. Senator Mark Wayne Mullen 389 00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:14,359 Speaker 2: joins us next, welcome back. 390 00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:17,960 Speaker 17: To this Real America's Voice newsbreak.

Democrats are pointing out concerns about 400 00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:52,520 Speaker 17: Elon Musk's influence in the federal government and potential conflicts 401 00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:53,200 Speaker 17: of interest. 402 00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:55,560 Speaker 2: Speaking of Elon Musk, Key and. 403 00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:58,880 Speaker 17: His Department of Government Efficiency are continuing to find places 404 00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:02,280 Speaker 17: to save your tax dollars. One of those places is 405 00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:06,719 Speaker 17: the Department of Education's Institute of Education Sciences.

That's a quick check of 412 00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:39,760 Speaker 17: your headlines. I'm Terrence Bates. The IRS is the largest 413 00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:42,000 Speaker 17: collection agency in the world, and it just stepped up 414 00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:44,879 Speaker 17: its enforcement for twenty twenty five.

So at one 503 00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:18,440 Speaker 18: am we started the thirty hour count on Bobby, so 504 00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:22,080 Speaker 18: that thirty hours at that point will run out at 505 00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:27,200 Speaker 18: seven am tomorrow morning. We're going to vote on him 506 00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:29,280 Speaker 18: at seven am, or they're going to let us vote 507 00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:32,080 Speaker 18: on him this evening, so we can start the clock immediately. 508 00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:32,840 Speaker 5: Then on. 509 00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:37,160 Speaker 18: I believe the next one will be up will be 510 00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:41,720 Speaker 18: either I think Kelly will be the next one up, 511 00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:45,960 Speaker 18: and then that thirty hours will start. We're really discussing here, 512 00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:48,200 Speaker 18: Charlie will just kind of give you some inside baseball. 513 00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:50,720 Speaker 18: Is there's twelve Democrats that were wanting to leave to 514 00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:54,719 Speaker 18: go to Munich Thursday night because they want to go 515 00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:57,680 Speaker 18: to that climate ordeal or whatever it is that's going on. 516 00:29:57,640 --> 00:29:59,600 Speaker 2: Over there, the swanky thing in Munich. That's right. 517 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:02,960 Speaker 5: Anything that I'm not going to good for you. 518 00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:05,480 Speaker 18: There's there's a real discussion that we've been having with 519 00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:10,280 Speaker 18: Thune about saying that we've got to clear uh all 520 00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:13,720 Speaker 18: these all these novels. We have five up today, we 521 00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:16,840 Speaker 18: have Howard this week, we have Howard, Brooke and Kelly left, 522 00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:20,520 Speaker 18: and uh to clear all them before they leave on Thursday. 523 00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:23,480 Speaker 5: I think we should do it. I think we should. 524 00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:24,640 Speaker 5: We should hold that. 525 00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:28,920 Speaker 18: Absolutely Democrats without saying go, but we have to get 526 00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:30,480 Speaker 18: signed off on to do that too. 527 00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:36,480 Speaker 19: We've got to oh be uh, the the Director of 528 00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:40,920 Speaker 19: Office Management and Budget has to sign off uh and 529 00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:42,240 Speaker 19: so we have to uh. 530 00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:43,840 Speaker 18: We have to work with the White House to make 531 00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:46,920 Speaker 18: sure we can get that done. And but Thun's all 532 00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:49,280 Speaker 18: forward if it's possible to do it. Thune's all forward 533 00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:52,480 Speaker 18: saying if you want to go release all, release Howard, 534 00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:55,040 Speaker 18: Kelly and Brooke, and we'll we'll move forward with it. 535 00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:57,880 Speaker 2: I mean, I don't think this is a close call, Senator. 536 00:30:57,920 --> 00:30:59,480 Speaker 2: I mean you and I agree. I mean they want 537 00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:02,720 Speaker 2: to go wine and dine with the European elites and 538 00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:05,880 Speaker 2: oligarchs on taxpayer money. We're not going to put up 539 00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:07,680 Speaker 2: with these kind of holes. We're not going to do this. 540 00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:09,600 Speaker 2: I know that the Senate is a very you know, 541 00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:12,240 Speaker 2: you know, collegial, We're going to look out for you. 542 00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:14,440 Speaker 2: But I come, come on, this is where we're I 543 00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:16,720 Speaker 2: think that's a little outrageous. You want to go party 544 00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:18,320 Speaker 2: in Munich, give us our nominees. 545 00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:22,200 Speaker 18: Yeah, and see. But like I said, it takes the dune. 546 00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:23,920 Speaker 18: Can't do it on him on his own. It has 547 00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:25,840 Speaker 18: to take takes a little bit of collaboration from the 548 00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:28,320 Speaker 18: White House to to do this. And so it really 549 00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:30,280 Speaker 18: depends on if they want to fight on this that much, 550 00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:34,080 Speaker 18: because at the end of the day, the president can 551 00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:35,600 Speaker 18: can can ground the planes. 552 00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:36,680 Speaker 5: He did this to Plosi. 553 00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:40,440 Speaker 18: You remember, and when we're in a shutdown and President 554 00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:44,200 Speaker 18: Trump's first term, Pelosi was leaving on this huge kodel 555 00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:48,040 Speaker 18: and on their way to Andrews Air Force Base. The 556 00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:50,800 Speaker 18: President canceled their trip and said there you can't go. 557 00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:53,120 Speaker 18: So the president ultimately is the one that has to 558 00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:55,720 Speaker 18: close it. So the really thing is is does he 559 00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:57,880 Speaker 18: want to fight on this one and calls that kind 560 00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:00,800 Speaker 18: of problem moving forward. There's a lot of politics behind it, 561 00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:03,520 Speaker 18: but I'm saying yes, I say yes, pull it, let's 562 00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:05,200 Speaker 18: do it, let's get all of them done. 563 00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:09,400 Speaker 2: I totally agree. And by the way, they're going to say, oh, 564 00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:11,760 Speaker 2: it's national security. Look, it's not national security. Okay. We 565 00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:14,080 Speaker 2: got the vice president in Munich, we got best sent 566 00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:16,440 Speaker 2: in Ukraine, we got all of our best guys all 567 00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:19,760 Speaker 2: over Europe, Negotia. We don't need another twelve Democrat senators. 568 00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:22,479 Speaker 18: You know, it's not of senators lying in. Isn't going 569 00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:24,719 Speaker 18: to change one thing, Charlie, No, No, it's not. 570 00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:27,560 Speaker 2: No, it's actually refreshing to hear a senator say that. 571 00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:31,400 Speaker 2: So let me now ask about the federal judges. These 572 00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:33,480 Speaker 2: these judges are completely out of control. There were some 573 00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:37,120 Speaker 2: breaking news a federal judge has ruled, thankfully, actually one 574 00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:39,880 Speaker 2: of the good decisions finally that President Trump does in 575 00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:43,720 Speaker 2: fact have constitutional authority to freeze or limit certain funding. 576 00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:46,080 Speaker 2: This means the Trump White House can now withhold funding 577 00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:49,960 Speaker 2: without the district's courts prior approval. But there are other 578 00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:54,080 Speaker 2: injunctions that are happening in the most radical senses, especially 579 00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:58,479 Speaker 2: out of New York and those districts that are so outrageous. Senator, 580 00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:01,400 Speaker 2: I know this is a serious question, and so I 581 00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:03,040 Speaker 2: don't mean to put you on the spot, but is 582 00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:06,240 Speaker 2: there a threshold where impeachment of federal judges would be considered? 583 00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:10,080 Speaker 18: Yeah, the threshold's real high on that. And then I 584 00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:13,200 Speaker 18: don't really know how much room we have in the 585 00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:15,000 Speaker 18: Senate to do this. What I would like to see, 586 00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:17,440 Speaker 18: and I proposed this and actually when I was in 587 00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:20,520 Speaker 18: the House, is to have a board setup, either a 588 00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:23,360 Speaker 18: board that goes that is made up of just our 589 00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:29,320 Speaker 18: our Supreme Court justice that when a district judge and 590 00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:33,640 Speaker 18: this case is getting overruled on constitutional authority, then at 591 00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:35,720 Speaker 18: so many times they get removed or get put on 592 00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:38,160 Speaker 18: probation and then eventually get removed because we see this 593 00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:41,680 Speaker 18: all the time, that judges are making decisions based on 594 00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:43,400 Speaker 18: one of the political feelings. 595 00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:44,240 Speaker 5: And that was. 596 00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:46,880 Speaker 18: Where that's why our judges were supposed to be appointed 597 00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:49,680 Speaker 18: so they'd be above politics. But it's you know, we 598 00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:53,800 Speaker 18: find Republicans and Democrats. We judge shop all the time 599 00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:55,480 Speaker 18: to try to find a judge. Is going to be 600 00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:57,960 Speaker 18: fearable to us if it would just be simply based 601 00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:01,360 Speaker 18: on constitutional authority, period and not your opinion or your 602 00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:02,920 Speaker 18: political opinion, then we be. 603 00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:03,440 Speaker 5: Fine with that. 604 00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:05,720 Speaker 18: But there's got to be some accountability that's brought to 605 00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:07,800 Speaker 18: these judges that are appointed to a lit time bench, 606 00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:10,360 Speaker 18: because otherwise we're going to continue and it's. 607 00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:11,120 Speaker 5: Going to just get worse. 608 00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:13,600 Speaker 18: So Congress is going to have to take a hard 609 00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:15,920 Speaker 18: look at this, The White House is going to take 610 00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:16,640 Speaker 18: a hard look at this. 611 00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:18,360 Speaker 5: This should be honestly by partisan. 612 00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:20,800 Speaker 18: If we try to do it on a partisan basis, 613 00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:23,360 Speaker 18: we'll be opening a whole can of worms. If we 614 00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:26,400 Speaker 18: do this on a bipartisan basis and actually build a 615 00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:28,880 Speaker 18: whole the accountable, hold these judges accountable, much like our 616 00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:31,160 Speaker 18: constituents are supposed to hold us accountable, then I think 617 00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:33,760 Speaker 18: you'll see a lot more clarity happen in the courts. 618 00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:36,719 Speaker 18: The DOJ Department. Justice is supposed to be really for 619 00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:39,360 Speaker 18: the people. I mean, the House is for the people, 620 00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:41,600 Speaker 18: you know, Congress is for the people. 621 00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:45,080 Speaker 5: But the courts there is what holds. 622 00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:49,640 Speaker 18: The executive branch and the legislative branch accountable for the people. 623 00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:52,439 Speaker 18: Because it's supposed to interpret one to percent our bill 624 00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:55,480 Speaker 18: rights in our Constitution, and the Unfortunately, you're seeing political 625 00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:57,719 Speaker 18: rulings come off the bench more often you actually see 626 00:34:57,760 --> 00:34:59,200 Speaker 18: constitutional rulings. 627 00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:02,440 Speaker 2: At that point. We saw this in Brazil, and to 628 00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:06,160 Speaker 2: a lesser extent in Israel, where a weaponized judiciary basically 629 00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:09,880 Speaker 2: runs the entire country and the sovereign aren't there, and 630 00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:13,480 Speaker 2: you kind of have a philosopher king ruling class, a 631 00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:17,680 Speaker 2: legal oligarchy that starts to set in. And Brazil is 632 00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:20,319 Speaker 2: the best example, Israel to a lesser extent, And so, 633 00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:22,440 Speaker 2: can you explain more of what your idea is just 634 00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:25,160 Speaker 2: so I understand it, of how we could prevent that? 635 00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:27,759 Speaker 5: Well, our ourdeal is this. 636 00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:31,040 Speaker 18: So you use this judge that just got overruled and 637 00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:33,200 Speaker 18: you say, okay, well this is strick one. 638 00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:35,000 Speaker 5: You just got overruled. 639 00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:38,279 Speaker 18: Constitutionally speaking, so you didn't interpret it correctly. Give us 640 00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:41,200 Speaker 18: your findings, what made you decide to do this? Have 641 00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:44,520 Speaker 18: a higher court actually go over his findings and say, 642 00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:46,279 Speaker 18: this is how I made a decision, This was the 643 00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:48,760 Speaker 18: opinions I came up with, and this is the opinions 644 00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:52,960 Speaker 18: I based it on either previous case law or constitutional purposes. 645 00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:56,600 Speaker 18: And if he can't explain that how he came up 646 00:35:56,600 --> 00:35:58,799 Speaker 18: with that? And it actually made sense. Then he gets 647 00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:00,239 Speaker 18: brought up to a higher court to say, do you 648 00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:02,840 Speaker 18: get put on probation strike one, strike two, or strike 649 00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:04,879 Speaker 18: three before you get on probation. If you continue down 650 00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:07,040 Speaker 18: that road, then you're going to be put in what 651 00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:09,760 Speaker 18: I mean by probation, At that point, you'll have another 652 00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:13,360 Speaker 18: court overlooking your decisions, and you're gonna have to explain 653 00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:15,640 Speaker 18: those decisions prior to them being made. That's what probation 654 00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:18,480 Speaker 18: would look like. If you continue down that road. Once 655 00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:20,880 Speaker 18: you get on probation, then you'll be removed from the bench. 656 00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:23,839 Speaker 18: So it's the same thing as impeaching them, but it's not. 657 00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:26,560 Speaker 18: The impeachment has been used for political power. Now, this 658 00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:29,360 Speaker 18: would be the court's holding the court's accountable, So judges 659 00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:32,840 Speaker 18: holding judges accountable, much like lawyers with the Bar Association 660 00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:34,120 Speaker 18: holds lawyers accountable. 661 00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:36,520 Speaker 2: Well, and just to reiterate the point, we have more 662 00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:40,759 Speaker 2: than two hundred district court judges. It is not sustainable 663 00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:44,319 Speaker 2: to our republic for every random district judge to think 664 00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:46,920 Speaker 2: their gavel gives them the power to veto over a 665 00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:48,600 Speaker 2: presidency theresident. 666 00:36:48,719 --> 00:36:50,520 Speaker 18: That's right for president of the United States to build 667 00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:52,960 Speaker 18: to override the president of the United United States. A 668 00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:56,920 Speaker 18: district judge can uphold that hearing that is that should 669 00:36:56,960 --> 00:37:01,000 Speaker 18: be stopped itself. So what level does that does that 670 00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:02,840 Speaker 18: need to be heard at? Is it Supreme Court that 671 00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:05,759 Speaker 18: needs to be taking up these decisions? The problem with 672 00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:08,960 Speaker 18: you having the Supreme Court decision then then there's no 673 00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:11,880 Speaker 18: court to go over them. So there is a balance 674 00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:13,480 Speaker 18: that has to be made in Charlie. Honestly, I haven't 675 00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:14,759 Speaker 18: even put a lot of thought in that one. 676 00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:18,760 Speaker 2: So the President Trump's team is moving at a rapid pace. 677 00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:22,320 Speaker 2: As I mentioned, the Secretary of the Treasury, Scott Bessant, 678 00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:26,000 Speaker 2: is in Ukraine. President Trump had a favorable and promising 679 00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:28,520 Speaker 2: phone call with Putin this morning. But a minute and 680 00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:33,640 Speaker 2: a half, Senator, your thoughts on the developing diplomacy happening 681 00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:36,360 Speaker 2: between Russia, Ukraine Israel, godz, I mean, we got a 682 00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:38,520 Speaker 2: lot going on here. Help me understand it. 683 00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:41,200 Speaker 18: You know, the greatest president we had seen in our 684 00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:44,040 Speaker 18: life on Charlie, Well, I put myself in a category. 685 00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:45,040 Speaker 5: I really don't how old you are. 686 00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:48,160 Speaker 18: That was wrong Reagan and he believed in peace through strength, 687 00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:51,879 Speaker 18: and he was able to bring down the USSR by 688 00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:54,680 Speaker 18: being friends with Gorbachev and brought down the wall right. 689 00:37:55,120 --> 00:37:58,959 Speaker 18: What you see with President Trump is he is he's 690 00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:01,680 Speaker 18: not necessarily being is a Putin, but he's keeping a 691 00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:04,360 Speaker 18: relationship and a dialogue with him, and he bleeds in 692 00:38:04,520 --> 00:38:07,720 Speaker 18: peace through strength, and he's usually willing to use strength 693 00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:10,800 Speaker 18: if peace doesn't work. Biden was never in this position 694 00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:12,319 Speaker 18: to bill to do it because there was no. 695 00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:13,840 Speaker 5: Respect for Biden. 696 00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:16,399 Speaker 18: There was no respect for him because he was trying 697 00:38:16,440 --> 00:38:20,719 Speaker 18: to use appeasement through strength and appeasement through deploymacy. It 698 00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:25,160 Speaker 18: doesn't work that way. And so President Trump, by billing 699 00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:27,560 Speaker 18: to talk directly to Putin, will be able to bring 700 00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:30,520 Speaker 18: an endo the war because he'll also be able to say, listen, Zelenski, 701 00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:33,520 Speaker 18: you're going to have to compromise somewhere in this. The 702 00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:35,279 Speaker 18: war's not going great for you. We're not going to 703 00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:37,720 Speaker 18: continue to fund this. There's been a lot of questions 704 00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:40,880 Speaker 18: about it. You know, maybe Crimea isn't. 705 00:38:40,719 --> 00:38:44,320 Speaker 5: Going to be part of Ukraine much any longer. 706 00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:46,279 Speaker 18: I'm not saying that's part of it, but I believe 707 00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:49,680 Speaker 18: there's a compromise and negotiation to end the killing over there, 708 00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:51,000 Speaker 18: and that's what President Trump wants to do. 709 00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:52,920 Speaker 5: Is in the killing and Putin. 710 00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:54,480 Speaker 18: Isn't in a good position because he knows he has 711 00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:55,960 Speaker 18: a new sheriff in the White House and it's called 712 00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:56,640 Speaker 18: President Trump. 713 00:38:57,160 --> 00:38:59,840 Speaker 2: Senator, keep up the great work, thank you as always, 714 00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:02,920 Speaker 2: and do what you can to make sure that vacation 715 00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:05,520 Speaker 2: of Munich doesn't get in the way of our cabinet. 716 00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:09,320 Speaker 2: Thank you, Senator, absolutely thanks Charley.

You have four 759 00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:40,120 Speaker 2: maybe five people, all of which immediately would be a 760 00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:43,160 Speaker 2: far better president than anything Joe Biden, Kamala Harris's and 761 00:41:44,120 --> 00:41:46,360 Speaker 2: this kind of team of all stars does not come 762 00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:50,320 Speaker 2: together very often. What President Trump has selected and assembled 763 00:41:50,719 --> 00:41:54,120 Speaker 2: is remarkable. You've got JD. Vance given a ten out 764 00:41:54,120 --> 00:41:56,800 Speaker 2: of ten speech of the AI summit in Paris, France, 765 00:41:57,040 --> 00:42:00,279 Speaker 2: ten out of ten Jdvan speech in Paris, France, and 766 00:42:00,280 --> 00:42:02,960 Speaker 2: then he's going to the Munich Security Conference.

And then you have Marco 769 00:42:13,400 --> 00:42:18,040 Speaker 2: Rubio front lines negotiating the release of hostages, as we 770 00:42:18,080 --> 00:42:20,480 Speaker 2: have here on the front page of the Wall Street Journal. 771 00:42:21,280 --> 00:42:27,960 Speaker 2: Also Marco Rubio solving all this Guatemalan, El Salvadorian, Honduran nonsense, 772 00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:32,560 Speaker 2: getting all those countries in order and in place like 773 00:42:32,719 --> 00:42:36,840 Speaker 2: Colombia and many others. And then on top of that, 774 00:42:36,880 --> 00:42:39,879 Speaker 2: you got Christy Nome laying down the hammer with Tom 775 00:42:39,880 --> 00:42:43,160 Speaker 2: Homan against the illegal invasion. Do you know what's not 776 00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:45,080 Speaker 2: getting a lot of headlines? And do you know this 777 00:42:45,120 --> 00:42:49,719 Speaker 2: is the brilliance of Elon Musk and President Trump. Do 778 00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:53,760 Speaker 2: you notice they're attacking Elon more than President Trump. He's 779 00:42:53,840 --> 00:42:59,680 Speaker 2: it's almost like a media diversionary tactic. And just so 780 00:42:59,680 --> 00:43:02,959 Speaker 2: we're there is plenty of precedent for what Elon Musk 781 00:43:03,040 --> 00:43:07,320 Speaker 2: is doing as well, from Harry Hopkins to Bernard Baruch, 782 00:43:07,719 --> 00:43:11,000 Speaker 2: who basically was an outside Elon Musk industrialist who came 783 00:43:11,040 --> 00:43:17,400 Speaker 2: and ran the industrial capacity during World War Two. But 784 00:43:17,480 --> 00:43:23,120 Speaker 2: you have this entire team of rock stars, Elon Bessent, 785 00:43:23,719 --> 00:43:28,200 Speaker 2: jd Vance, Marco Rubio, Christy Nome, and then on top 786 00:43:28,239 --> 00:43:31,320 Speaker 2: of it, Pete HeiG Seth, Pete Hegseth.

You've got Mark Milly who is at least 800 00:44:24,080 --> 00:44:27,200 Speaker 2: one hundred pounds overweight, and then you've got Pete Hegseth 801 00:44:28,080 --> 00:44:30,680 Speaker 2: winning the morale of the troops. Imagine if you are 802 00:44:31,200 --> 00:44:36,279 Speaker 2: an enlisted marine in Germany. Imagine if you are a 803 00:44:36,360 --> 00:44:40,040 Speaker 2: marine in Germany and all of a sudden, the Secretary 804 00:44:40,040 --> 00:44:45,560 Speaker 2: of Defense shows up to start lifting weights with you. 805 00:44:46,480 --> 00:44:48,920 Speaker 2: And it wasn't just weights, he did the whole regiment 806 00:44:48,960 --> 00:44:52,480 Speaker 2: of routine.

The committee is expected to 862 00:48:40,920 --> 00:48:43,239 Speaker 17: work hand in hand with President Trump and his team 863 00:48:43,560 --> 00:48:46,640 Speaker 17: to root out waste, to fix broken payment systems, and 864 00:48:46,680 --> 00:48:50,560 Speaker 17: to investigate fraud schemes.

He and his crew have also 869 00:49:04,760 --> 00:49:07,520 Speaker 17: been recommending hundreds of millions of dollars in cuts from 870 00:49:07,560 --> 00:49:11,640 Speaker 17: government agencies while also laying off government workers. The billionaire 871 00:49:11,680 --> 00:49:14,200 Speaker 17: joined President Trump and the Oval Office on Tuesday for 872 00:49:14,280 --> 00:49:17,840 Speaker 17: a status update and to describe the systemic problems that 873 00:49:17,920 --> 00:49:19,640 Speaker 17: are costing American tax payers. 874 00:49:20,280 --> 00:49:27,320 Speaker 14: You know, we're looking at, say, well, if you say Treasury, 875 00:49:27,360 --> 00:49:31,840 Speaker 14: for example, basic controls that should be in place that 876 00:49:31,880 --> 00:49:34,879 Speaker 14: are in place in any company, such as making sure 877 00:49:34,920 --> 00:49:38,080 Speaker 14: that any given payment has the payment categorization code, that 878 00:49:38,160 --> 00:49:41,440 Speaker 14: there is a comment field that describes the payment, and 879 00:49:41,520 --> 00:49:43,120 Speaker 14: that if a payment is on the. 880 00:49:43,160 --> 00:49:45,879 Speaker 5: Don on to pay list, that you don't actually pay it. 881 00:49:46,400 --> 00:49:49,320 Speaker 14: None of those things are true curdly, So the reason 882 00:49:49,600 --> 00:49:53,359 Speaker 14: that departments can't pass ordits is because the payments don't 883 00:49:53,360 --> 00:49:54,480 Speaker 14: have a categorization code. 884 00:49:54,600 --> 00:49:56,279 Speaker 5: It's like just a. 885 00:49:55,719 --> 00:49:57,840 Speaker 14: Massive number of blank checks just flying out building. 886 00:49:58,160 --> 00:49:59,760 Speaker 5: So you can't reconcile blank checks. 887 00:50:00,760 --> 00:50:03,680 Speaker 17: President Trump and Musk say that some government employees have 888 00:50:03,800 --> 00:50:07,880 Speaker 17: even been getting wealthy on the backs of US taxpayers. Meantime, 889 00:50:07,920 --> 00:50:10,799 Speaker 17: House Republicans are expected to unveil the text of a 890 00:50:10,840 --> 00:50:13,759 Speaker 17: budget plan as soon as today. They're playing catch up 891 00:50:13,760 --> 00:50:16,360 Speaker 17: as Senate Republicans are already out with the plan that 892 00:50:16,400 --> 00:50:19,360 Speaker 17: would allocate three hundred and forty billion dollars in additional 893 00:50:19,360 --> 00:50:23,000 Speaker 17: border security and defense spending. Once House and Senate Republicans 894 00:50:23,040 --> 00:50:26,400 Speaker 17: hammer out their respective spending plans, the final product is 895 00:50:26,480 --> 00:50:29,920 Speaker 17: expected to include trillions of dollars in tax cuts as well. 896 00:50:30,520 --> 00:50:32,680 Speaker 17: While the House is putting the finishing touches on its 897 00:50:32,719 --> 00:50:35,520 Speaker 17: budget plan, the Senate Budget Committee is meeting today and 898 00:50:35,560 --> 00:50:39,040 Speaker 17: tomorrow to discuss directing the Senate Committee on Homeland Security 899 00:50:39,080 --> 00:50:42,080 Speaker 17: and Government Affairs to allocate one hundred and seventy five 900 00:50:42,200 --> 00:50:45,640 Speaker 17: billion dollars for more border and defense spending. The Senate 901 00:50:45,840 --> 00:50:49,000 Speaker 17: arms of the Senate Armed Services Committee could spend up 902 00:50:49,000 --> 00:50:53,520 Speaker 17: to one hundred and fifty billion dollars. Elon musket is 903 00:50:53,600 --> 00:50:56,799 Speaker 17: Department of Government Efficiency continuing to find places to save 904 00:50:57,080 --> 00:51:00,600 Speaker 17: you and your tax dollars. One of those plas is 905 00:51:00,600 --> 00:51:04,760 Speaker 17: the Department of Education's Institute of Education Sciences. The federal 906 00:51:04,800 --> 00:51:08,160 Speaker 17: research agency tracks the progress of America students, and it's 907 00:51:08,200 --> 00:51:11,480 Speaker 17: being hit with around nine hundred million dollars in cuts 908 00:51:11,560 --> 00:51:12,480 Speaker 17: from DOGE. 909 00:51:12,920 --> 00:51:16,000 Speaker 22: What we're doing is good and right for the American people. 910 00:51:16,040 --> 00:51:19,960 Speaker 22: What DOGE is doing is making sure that your taxpayer dollars, 911 00:51:20,000 --> 00:51:22,200 Speaker 22: all of us, are spent in the way that they're 912 00:51:22,200 --> 00:51:25,160 Speaker 22: intended to be spent, and that they're for in America's 913 00:51:25,200 --> 00:51:31,080 Speaker 22: interest and they're financially responsible with the precious taxpayers money. 914 00:51:31,320 --> 00:51:33,480 Speaker 22: We have a thirty six trillion dollar federal debt, and 915 00:51:33,520 --> 00:51:35,879 Speaker 22: we have got to get a hold of these things. 916 00:51:37,200 --> 00:51:40,719 Speaker 17: As for the Institute of Education Sciences, it could be 917 00:51:40,760 --> 00:51:43,799 Speaker 17: eliminated altogether after at least one hundred and sixty nine 918 00:51:43,880 --> 00:51:46,960 Speaker 17: contracts were terminated this week, accounting for much of the 919 00:51:47,000 --> 00:51:52,799 Speaker 17: institute's work. The institute offers the annual NAP Assessment, which 920 00:51:52,840 --> 00:51:55,759 Speaker 17: is known as the Nation's report Card. It also puts 921 00:51:55,800 --> 00:51:58,920 Speaker 17: out the College Store Card, which is a database of 922 00:51:59,080 --> 00:52:04,080 Speaker 17: university costs and of outcomes. So those are some of 923 00:52:04,080 --> 00:52:06,640 Speaker 17: your headlines of the day. We are also standing by 924 00:52:06,920 --> 00:52:09,560 Speaker 17: for the next press briefing at the White House. In fact, 925 00:52:09,640 --> 00:52:12,160 Speaker 17: we're expecting that to happen at any moment. White House 926 00:52:12,160 --> 00:52:14,960 Speaker 17: Press Secretary Caroline Leavitt will be speaking on some of 927 00:52:14,960 --> 00:52:17,399 Speaker 17: the issues we just talked about dogs will very likely 928 00:52:17,440 --> 00:52:19,600 Speaker 17: be an issue she'll have to answer a number of 929 00:52:19,680 --> 00:52:23,080 Speaker 17: questions about. She'll probably also talk about the newly freed 930 00:52:23,160 --> 00:52:27,160 Speaker 17: American who was held by Russia, mister Vogel, his story, 931 00:52:27,200 --> 00:52:29,719 Speaker 17: of course making lots of headlines as his mother is 932 00:52:29,760 --> 00:52:32,439 Speaker 17: the one who pushed President Trump to act in order 933 00:52:32,440 --> 00:52:34,920 Speaker 17: to free him, and he is now back home having 934 00:52:34,960 --> 00:52:37,400 Speaker 17: met with President Trump last night at the White House, 935 00:52:37,560 --> 00:52:39,279 Speaker 17: So that is likely going to be a story that 936 00:52:39,320 --> 00:52:42,880 Speaker 17: she'll talk about and that she'll get lots of questions. Also, 937 00:52:43,120 --> 00:52:45,759 Speaker 17: you may know that yesterday President Trump met with the 938 00:52:45,840 --> 00:52:48,720 Speaker 17: King of Jordan and talked about his plan for bringing 939 00:52:48,760 --> 00:52:52,680 Speaker 17: peace to the Middle East that includes resettling Gaza and 940 00:52:52,719 --> 00:52:56,279 Speaker 17: rebuilding that war torn community, So that's likely also going 941 00:52:56,320 --> 00:52:59,200 Speaker 17: to be something that the Press Tech Secretary speaks about. 942 00:52:59,320 --> 00:53:01,719 Speaker 17: You can see the porters on site here. They are 943 00:53:01,760 --> 00:53:04,279 Speaker 17: ready and waiting for her to enter the room.

Will welcome to 969 00:54:51,360 --> 00:54:54,240 Speaker 2: the program. You have a very powerful Twitter post saying 970 00:54:54,360 --> 00:54:57,960 Speaker 2: is Cleveland Clinic the wokest hospital in America? Will your 971 00:54:57,960 --> 00:54:59,880 Speaker 2: thoughts well. 972 00:55:00,160 --> 00:55:03,719 Speaker 23: Very well well be They seem to have integrated wokeness 973 00:55:03,719 --> 00:55:08,160 Speaker 23: into across the entire spectrum of activities from integrating in 974 00:55:08,280 --> 00:55:11,120 Speaker 23: d DEI into everything they do. They're currently being sued 975 00:55:11,400 --> 00:55:15,120 Speaker 23: for discriminating against patients. This isn't just discriminating and against 976 00:55:15,280 --> 00:55:17,560 Speaker 23: hiring and promotion, which is normally what we think about 977 00:55:17,560 --> 00:55:20,319 Speaker 23: when we think about DII. This is about discriminating in 978 00:55:20,360 --> 00:55:24,320 Speaker 23: how they apply medicines and treatment to patients, which is 979 00:55:24,360 --> 00:55:26,600 Speaker 23: about the most worst thing you could possibly think of 980 00:55:26,640 --> 00:55:29,600 Speaker 23: when you think of horror stories of DEI. They've also 981 00:55:29,680 --> 00:55:34,600 Speaker 23: integrated net zero pledges across their entire operations. This raises 982 00:55:34,680 --> 00:55:37,880 Speaker 23: costs for consumers. They've set some of the most aggressive 983 00:55:37,880 --> 00:55:41,319 Speaker 23: net zero achievements I've ever ever seen. There's no way 984 00:55:41,320 --> 00:55:44,280 Speaker 23: to do that with modern technology, especially with hospitals, almost 985 00:55:44,280 --> 00:55:46,560 Speaker 23: everything is plastic. What that really means is that they're 986 00:55:46,560 --> 00:55:49,520 Speaker 23: paying bribes things called carbon credits that they then have 987 00:55:49,560 --> 00:55:52,280 Speaker 23: to pass along those those fees to consumers. And then, lastly, 988 00:55:52,520 --> 00:55:54,960 Speaker 23: and perhaps the most disturbing thing, is that they have 989 00:55:55,040 --> 00:55:58,320 Speaker 23: been leading the way and providing so called transgender care, 990 00:55:58,840 --> 00:56:01,880 Speaker 23: gender affirmative care to children. What that really means is 991 00:56:01,920 --> 00:56:05,320 Speaker 23: general im mutilation on kids under the age of eighteen, 992 00:56:05,560 --> 00:56:07,840 Speaker 23: and they've really been charging on that. And even after 993 00:56:08,200 --> 00:56:11,279 Speaker 23: the passage of the Safe Act in Ohio, where you know, 994 00:56:11,280 --> 00:56:13,360 Speaker 23: they're supposed to be they're supposed to be banned, they've 995 00:56:13,520 --> 00:56:17,320 Speaker 23: continued to consult with children around their you know, gender 996 00:56:17,360 --> 00:56:19,240 Speaker 23: issues or their gender just for you. So it seems 997 00:56:19,239 --> 00:56:22,600 Speaker 23: that they are still continuing to quietly push this far 998 00:56:22,719 --> 00:56:24,680 Speaker 23: left transgender propaganda that harms children. 999 00:56:25,520 --> 00:56:28,880 Speaker 2: Look, the hospital cartels generally are one of the greatest 1000 00:56:29,320 --> 00:56:32,200 Speaker 2: undiagnosed problems in the country. So help me understand this. 1001 00:56:32,760 --> 00:56:36,840 Speaker 2: So the Cleveland clinic, why are they so interested in 1002 00:56:36,880 --> 00:56:42,000 Speaker 2: the trans propaganda, performing child sex changes, prioritizing race based care? 1003 00:56:42,200 --> 00:56:45,279 Speaker 2: What is it? Is it an ideological issue? Please help 1004 00:56:45,320 --> 00:56:45,880 Speaker 2: me understand. 1005 00:56:47,080 --> 00:56:49,040 Speaker 23: That's a great question. And I wish I knew the 1006 00:56:49,080 --> 00:56:51,279 Speaker 23: answer to that. I have my suspicions after what we've 1007 00:56:51,320 --> 00:56:53,759 Speaker 23: seen out of the Department of Government Efficiency, that a 1008 00:56:53,760 --> 00:56:55,600 Speaker 23: lot of this might just be straight up being paid 1009 00:56:55,640 --> 00:56:59,880 Speaker 23: for by the federal government, incentivized by funding from a 1010 00:57:00,600 --> 00:57:02,800 Speaker 23: you know, radicals within a lot of these government agencies 1011 00:57:02,800 --> 00:57:05,160 Speaker 23: have been pushing this stuff. But that doesn't let Cleveland 1012 00:57:05,160 --> 00:57:09,080 Speaker 23: Clinic off the hook. Their director of DEI has said 1013 00:57:09,120 --> 00:57:12,640 Speaker 23: that they integrate DEI into literally every single thing that 1014 00:57:12,680 --> 00:57:15,480 Speaker 23: they do. So that's not just again hiring promotion. That's 1015 00:57:15,480 --> 00:57:17,600 Speaker 23: in how they treat patients based on their skin color, 1016 00:57:17,920 --> 00:57:21,640 Speaker 23: and that includes, you know, pushing transgender propaganda on children. 1017 00:57:21,680 --> 00:57:23,520 Speaker 23: So it's sort of a chicken of the egg problem. 1018 00:57:23,600 --> 00:57:26,520 Speaker 23: It probably came partially because it's being incentivized by the 1019 00:57:26,520 --> 00:57:29,920 Speaker 23: federal government, but then Cleveland Clinic has become taken over 1020 00:57:30,000 --> 00:57:33,680 Speaker 23: by true believers of this radical, far left, destructive ideology. 1021 00:57:34,280 --> 00:57:36,880 Speaker 2: How much money do they make off of the transing. 1022 00:57:36,520 --> 00:57:40,760 Speaker 23: Of kids, Well, it's hard to calculate without seeing their books, 1023 00:57:40,760 --> 00:57:42,520 Speaker 23: but it's got to be in the millions of dollars. 1024 00:57:42,560 --> 00:57:45,400 Speaker 23: The number of children who these operations are not cheap, 1025 00:57:45,640 --> 00:57:46,919 Speaker 23: These hormones are not cheap. 1026 00:57:46,960 --> 00:57:48,080 Speaker 5: That's what a lot of people don't. 1027 00:57:47,880 --> 00:57:50,480 Speaker 23: Realize is that this stuff, once you start it, you 1028 00:57:50,520 --> 00:57:53,120 Speaker 23: can basically never come off of it. So Big Pharma 1029 00:57:53,160 --> 00:57:56,320 Speaker 23: has a customer for life when they trans a child 1030 00:57:56,520 --> 00:57:58,800 Speaker 23: under the age of eighteen. These children can basically never 1031 00:57:58,800 --> 00:57:59,240 Speaker 23: come off of it. 1032 00:57:59,240 --> 00:57:59,640 Speaker 5: We've heard of. 1033 00:58:00,080 --> 00:58:03,800 Speaker 23: It's obviously who dechanges and it's a very painful process, 1034 00:58:03,840 --> 00:58:07,680 Speaker 23: and there's everlasting harms that you can't undo. But from 1035 00:58:07,680 --> 00:58:10,520 Speaker 23: the hospital's perspective and from Big Farmer's perspective, it's a 1036 00:58:10,600 --> 00:58:11,520 Speaker 23: very lucrative venture. 1037 00:58:14,120 --> 00:58:16,480 Speaker 2: What can we possibly do from a federal government or 1038 00:58:16,480 --> 00:58:21,360 Speaker 2: a regulatory standpoint to go after these childhood butcher clinics 1039 00:58:21,360 --> 00:58:22,400 Speaker 2: such as the Cleveland Clinic. 1040 00:58:23,120 --> 00:58:25,720 Speaker 23: That's a fantastic question. I was so excited to see 1041 00:58:25,760 --> 00:58:29,280 Speaker 23: President Trump's executive order demanding that every agency look for 1042 00:58:29,280 --> 00:58:32,960 Speaker 23: at least nine corporations or nonprofits to look into who 1043 00:58:33,000 --> 00:58:36,960 Speaker 23: are violating people's civil rights around DEI. I can think 1044 00:58:37,000 --> 00:58:40,600 Speaker 23: of no better candidate for HHS to open investigation than 1045 00:58:40,600 --> 00:58:43,080 Speaker 23: the Cleveland Clinic. That said, I would also ask that 1046 00:58:43,120 --> 00:58:46,520 Speaker 23: the state government, Governor DeWine and the legislature really look 1047 00:58:46,760 --> 00:58:49,240 Speaker 23: closely at the Cleveland Clinic and everything it's doing to 1048 00:58:49,280 --> 00:58:52,320 Speaker 23: continue to push this radical transgender ideology on children and 1049 00:58:52,320 --> 00:58:54,720 Speaker 23: harm them, and also to violate people's civil rights, not 1050 00:58:54,800 --> 00:58:57,800 Speaker 23: just through again hiring a promotion, but also literally changing 1051 00:58:58,240 --> 00:59:02,000 Speaker 23: where you rank someone in treatment for illness strokes, specifically 1052 00:59:02,480 --> 00:59:03,560 Speaker 23: based on their skin color. 1053 00:59:04,880 --> 00:59:09,080 Speaker 2: So will in your experience, what do these hospitals actually 1054 00:59:09,120 --> 00:59:16,000 Speaker 2: fear because they're acting with such brazen, just attitude, as 1055 00:59:16,000 --> 00:59:20,120 Speaker 2: if they don't care what the law says, and just 1056 00:59:20,160 --> 00:59:23,400 Speaker 2: such blatant disregard for general morality. 1057 00:59:24,320 --> 00:59:26,400 Speaker 23: Yeah, I'm so glad you asked that question, because our 1058 00:59:26,440 --> 00:59:29,320 Speaker 23: movement tends to have this mentality that we go to 1059 00:59:29,360 --> 00:59:32,200 Speaker 23: court and we get a judicial ruling and that precedent 1060 00:59:32,240 --> 00:59:34,920 Speaker 23: that sides with us is the win. In this case, 1061 00:59:35,000 --> 00:59:38,000 Speaker 23: it's very clear the pain must be the precedent. We 1062 00:59:38,040 --> 00:59:40,480 Speaker 23: need to sue these organizations. They need to lose federal 1063 00:59:40,480 --> 00:59:43,120 Speaker 23: funding until they comply, and they need to be sued 1064 00:59:43,120 --> 00:59:45,720 Speaker 23: when they discriminate against people, not just patients, but also 1065 00:59:45,760 --> 00:59:49,640 Speaker 23: their employees. There has to be a price to this 1066 00:59:49,720 --> 00:59:51,840 Speaker 23: kind of wanton disregard for the law, both at the 1067 00:59:51,840 --> 00:59:53,680 Speaker 23: state and the federal level. So that's at the end 1068 00:59:53,720 --> 00:59:55,160 Speaker 23: of the day, the only thing that's going to make 1069 00:59:55,200 --> 00:59:58,000 Speaker 23: them change is cutting off funding, losing government grants, and 1070 00:59:58,040 --> 01:00:00,400 Speaker 23: then being sued for the way they violent the civil 1071 01:00:00,480 --> 01:00:02,280 Speaker 23: rights of both their patients and their employees. 1072 01:00:03,200 --> 01:00:06,200 Speaker 2: Will how people learn more and please share your website 1073 01:00:06,920 --> 01:00:07,600 Speaker 2: certainly well. 1074 01:00:07,600 --> 01:00:10,920 Speaker 23: They can follow us at at consumers First on x 1075 01:00:11,040 --> 01:00:13,600 Speaker 23: or me with at Will hild or they can visit 1076 01:00:13,720 --> 01:00:16,840 Speaker 23: us at Consumers Research dot org.

We 1080 01:00:24,680 --> 01:00:26,640 Speaker 23: I'm sure are only looking at the tip of the iceberg. 1081 01:00:26,680 --> 01:00:28,439 Speaker 23: We would love to hear from people who've maybe seen 1082 01:00:28,480 --> 01:00:30,880 Speaker 23: inside what's going on there and could fill in even 1083 01:00:30,880 --> 01:00:32,040 Speaker 23: more some of these questions we have. 1084 01:00:33,000 --> 01:00:35,160 Speaker 2: Thank you so much, will appreciate it.

Email me Freedom at Charliekirk dot com. 1086 01:00:39,960 --> 01:00:45,120 Speaker 2: The meltdown over DOGE is really amazing to see right now. 1087 01:00:45,120 --> 01:00:48,080 Speaker 2: There is an entire hearing around the Department of Government 1088 01:00:48,120 --> 01:00:54,320 Speaker 2: Efficiency and understand that what Elon is doing is well 1089 01:00:54,320 --> 01:00:56,680 Speaker 2: within the confines of the US Constitution. They're gonna sue 1090 01:00:56,720 --> 01:01:00,120 Speaker 2: every possible way they can, but there have been president 1091 01:01:00,240 --> 01:01:02,680 Speaker 2: advisors that have literally lived in the White House, Harry 1092 01:01:02,680 --> 01:01:06,120 Speaker 2: Hopkins under FDR, under World War One and World War Two, 1093 01:01:06,560 --> 01:01:12,800 Speaker 2: the industrial baron of Bernard Baruch. Here is some breaking 1094 01:01:12,840 --> 01:01:16,560 Speaker 2: news as well. President Trump has just posted on truth 1095 01:01:16,640 --> 01:01:20,520 Speaker 2: social I just spoke to Zelensky of Ukraine. The conversation 1096 01:01:20,560 --> 01:01:24,240 Speaker 2: went very well. He liked President Putin, He liked President Putin, 1097 01:01:24,280 --> 01:01:27,280 Speaker 2: wants to make peace. We discussed a variety of topics 1098 01:01:27,280 --> 01:01:29,960 Speaker 2: having to do with the war, but mostly the meeting 1099 01:01:30,000 --> 01:01:33,480 Speaker 2: that is being set up in Munich where Vice President 1100 01:01:33,600 --> 01:01:37,680 Speaker 2: Jadie Vance and Secretary of State Mark Arubio will lead 1101 01:01:37,720 --> 01:01:40,360 Speaker 2: the delegation. I'm hopeful that the results of the meeting 1102 01:01:40,400 --> 01:01:43,120 Speaker 2: will be positive. It is a time to stop this 1103 01:01:43,280 --> 01:01:46,920 Speaker 2: ridiculous war where there has been massive and totally unnecessary 1104 01:01:47,360 --> 01:01:52,360 Speaker 2: death and destruction. God bless the people of Russia and Ukraine. 1105 01:01:54,440 --> 01:01:56,280 Speaker 2: And as I've mentioned a couple times, we have the 1106 01:01:56,320 --> 01:02:01,120 Speaker 2: Mark Fogel situation. Just incredible. We can actually play some 1107 01:02:01,200 --> 01:02:05,040 Speaker 2: tape there of President Trump getting Mark Fogel from home. 1108 01:02:05,080 --> 01:02:06,720 Speaker 2: I think we have some b role do we have? Yeah, 1109 01:02:06,880 --> 01:02:08,880 Speaker 2: this is Mark Fogel being released. Let's play cut in 1110 01:02:08,960 --> 01:02:09,439 Speaker 2: ninety six. 1111 01:02:11,640 --> 01:02:15,720 Speaker 14: Well, we're in the terms very fair, very very fair, 1112 01:02:15,840 --> 01:02:18,360 Speaker 14: very reasonable, not like deals you've seen over the years. 1113 01:02:19,480 --> 01:02:20,400 Speaker 2: They were very fair. 1114 01:02:21,440 --> 01:02:23,520 Speaker 11: And I think that's going to lead and where somebody 1115 01:02:23,520 --> 01:02:26,680 Speaker 11: else is being released tomorrow that you will know of. 1116 01:02:28,480 --> 01:02:29,560 Speaker 2: And now cut ninety nine. 1117 01:02:31,240 --> 01:02:33,160 Speaker 9: This is what happens when you have a strong president 1118 01:02:33,200 --> 01:02:35,760 Speaker 9: and that's what we're seeing. And look, anytime an American 1119 01:02:35,800 --> 01:02:38,520 Speaker 9: comes home, we should be excited about it. This is 1120 01:02:38,560 --> 01:02:41,880 Speaker 9: a case that languished under the Biden administration. They really 1121 01:02:41,920 --> 01:02:45,160 Speaker 9: didn't give it priority and met with the family. I 1122 01:02:45,200 --> 01:02:48,360 Speaker 9: believe the mother got to meet President trumpet that now 1123 01:02:48,800 --> 01:02:51,640 Speaker 9: you know, legend infamous. You know Rally and Butler. Right 1124 01:02:51,760 --> 01:02:54,840 Speaker 9: in the same day the president was almost killed. And 1125 01:02:54,920 --> 01:02:57,880 Speaker 9: so tonight is really a happy occasion should be for 1126 01:02:57,920 --> 01:03:00,440 Speaker 9: all Americans, but certainly for mister Fogo family. 1127 01:03:01,320 --> 01:03:04,080 Speaker 2: He's bringing Americans home. Really makes you wonder what was 1128 01:03:04,160 --> 01:03:06,720 Speaker 2: Joe Biden doing and his entire team doing these last 1129 01:03:06,760 --> 01:03:09,160 Speaker 2: couple of years.

His truth 1151 01:04:12,120 --> 01:04:15,480 Speaker 13: is as follows. I just spoke to President Zelensky of Ukraine. 1152 01:04:15,800 --> 01:04:19,800 Speaker 13: The conversation went very well. He, like President Putin, wants 1153 01:04:19,840 --> 01:04:23,120 Speaker 13: to make peace. We discussed a variety of topics having 1154 01:04:23,160 --> 01:04:25,920 Speaker 13: to do with the war, but mostly the meeting that 1155 01:04:25,960 --> 01:04:28,520 Speaker 13: is being set up on Friday in Munich, where Vice 1156 01:04:28,520 --> 01:04:32,320 Speaker 13: President J. D. Vance and Secretary of Secretary of State 1157 01:04:32,320 --> 01:04:35,640 Speaker 13: Marco Rubio will lead the delegation. I am hopeful that 1158 01:04:35,680 --> 01:04:38,360 Speaker 13: the results of that meeting will be positive. It is 1159 01:04:38,440 --> 01:04:41,320 Speaker 13: time to stop this ridiculous war where there has been 1160 01:04:41,560 --> 01:04:46,080 Speaker 13: massive and totally unnecessary death and destruction. God bless the 1161 01:04:46,080 --> 01:04:49,520 Speaker 13: people of Russia and Ukraine. I myself just spoke to 1162 01:04:49,560 --> 01:04:51,800 Speaker 13: the President about these calls, and he told me to 1163 01:04:51,840 --> 01:04:54,280 Speaker 13: tell all of you they were very good calls. They 1164 01:04:54,280 --> 01:04:57,880 Speaker 13: were very positive, and the administration is wholeheartedly committed to 1165 01:04:58,000 --> 01:05:01,959 Speaker 13: a peace deal to end once in the Russia Ukraine war. 1166 01:05:02,640 --> 01:05:04,840 Speaker 13: More on that later, I'm sure you'll have more questions 1167 01:05:04,880 --> 01:05:08,880 Speaker 13: to ask this week. The President has continued to deliver 1168 01:05:09,000 --> 01:05:12,040 Speaker 13: on his promises to the American people. According to new 1169 01:05:12,040 --> 01:05:14,200 Speaker 13: polling that was released at the beginning of this week 1170 01:05:14,280 --> 01:05:18,640 Speaker 13: by CBS News, and overwhelming seventy percent of Americans said 1171 01:05:18,680 --> 01:05:21,480 Speaker 13: that President Trump is following through on what he pledged 1172 01:05:21,520 --> 01:05:25,840 Speaker 13: to do during his historic campaign. The poll also revealed 1173 01:05:25,880 --> 01:05:29,920 Speaker 13: that Americans see President Trump as a tough, energetic, focused 1174 01:05:29,960 --> 01:05:33,720 Speaker 13: and effective leader fighting hard to improve their lives and 1175 01:05:33,920 --> 01:05:38,280 Speaker 13: our country. And yesterday in particular, was a truly special 1176 01:05:38,360 --> 01:05:41,640 Speaker 13: day for the United States of America thanks to the 1177 01:05:41,680 --> 01:05:44,840 Speaker 13: great leadership of President Trump. In the strong and tough 1178 01:05:44,920 --> 01:05:49,320 Speaker 13: leadership of President Trump, Mark Foegel, an American teacher detained 1179 01:05:49,360 --> 01:05:52,560 Speaker 13: by Russia, was returned to American soil and met with 1180 01:05:52,600 --> 01:05:55,840 Speaker 13: the President here at the White House last night. Special 1181 01:05:55,920 --> 01:05:59,120 Speaker 13: Envoy Steve Whitcoff in the rest of President Trump's incredible 1182 01:05:59,200 --> 01:06:03,320 Speaker 13: national security team helped negotiate the exchange that secured Mark 1183 01:06:03,360 --> 01:06:07,720 Speaker 13: Fogel's release. This event shows a good faith effort from Russia, 1184 01:06:07,840 --> 01:06:09,680 Speaker 13: and it's a sign, as I just said, that we 1185 01:06:09,720 --> 01:06:12,200 Speaker 13: are moving in the right direction to end this brutal war. 1186 01:06:12,880 --> 01:06:17,280 Speaker 13: Malphie Fogel, Mark's ninety five year old mother, was understandably 1187 01:06:17,440 --> 01:06:19,920 Speaker 13: very worried that she would never see her son again 1188 01:06:20,280 --> 01:06:23,720 Speaker 13: after his arrest in twenty twenty one. Missus Fogel was 1189 01:06:23,760 --> 01:06:27,360 Speaker 13: actually slated to join President Trump on stage at the 1190 01:06:27,440 --> 01:06:31,800 Speaker 13: July thirteenth Butler Pennsylvania Rally to speak out for Mark, 1191 01:06:32,280 --> 01:06:36,160 Speaker 13: and then the infamous assassination attempt against President Trump took place. 1192 01:06:36,880 --> 01:06:40,840 Speaker 13: But that day before the rally, President Trump promised Mark's 1193 01:06:40,840 --> 01:06:43,680 Speaker 13: mother that when he returned to the White House he 1194 01:06:43,680 --> 01:06:47,360 Speaker 13: would bring her son home. God saved President Life's on 1195 01:06:47,400 --> 01:06:50,280 Speaker 13: that President Trump's life on that day in Butler, Pennsylvania, 1196 01:06:50,640 --> 01:06:53,880 Speaker 13: and now Mark Fogel is back home safely with his family. 1197 01:06:53,960 --> 01:06:58,360 Speaker 13: As a result. God is good. The President also continues 1198 01:06:58,400 --> 01:07:01,120 Speaker 13: to bring back common sense to our government. This week, 1199 01:07:01,160 --> 01:07:04,240 Speaker 13: he signed an EO to end the procurement enforced use 1200 01:07:04,280 --> 01:07:07,760 Speaker 13: of paper straws. Taxpayer dollars were wasted on these non 1201 01:07:07,760 --> 01:07:11,240 Speaker 13: functional and massively unpopular products for no other reason than 1202 01:07:11,280 --> 01:07:15,160 Speaker 13: it made radical activists feel good about themselves. And on trade, 1203 01:07:15,240 --> 01:07:19,040 Speaker 13: President Trump continues to take bold action to protect America's 1204 01:07:19,040 --> 01:07:22,400 Speaker 13: critical steel and aluminum industries, much like he did in 1205 01:07:22,440 --> 01:07:26,000 Speaker 13: his first term, and the President signed proclamations to close 1206 01:07:26,040 --> 01:07:29,400 Speaker 13: existing loopholes and exemptions to restore a true twenty five 1207 01:07:29,440 --> 01:07:33,200 Speaker 13: percent tariff on steel and elevate the tariff on aluminum 1208 01:07:33,240 --> 01:07:36,800 Speaker 13: to twenty five percent as well. This administration believes these 1209 01:07:36,840 --> 01:07:41,000 Speaker 13: tariffs will protect our national security and put American workers first. 1210 01:07:41,640 --> 01:07:44,280 Speaker 13: And in the Oval Office yesterday with Elon Musk, President 1211 01:07:44,280 --> 01:07:47,120 Speaker 13: Trump took further action to make our federal government more 1212 01:07:47,120 --> 01:07:51,280 Speaker 13: efficient and effective, He signed an EO implementing the DOGE 1213 01:07:51,360 --> 01:07:56,200 Speaker 13: Workforce Optimization Initiative. Now, agency heads will coordinate and consult 1214 01:07:56,200 --> 01:07:59,440 Speaker 13: with DOGE to significantly shrink the size of the federal 1215 01:07:59,480 --> 01:08:04,800 Speaker 13: workforce and limit hiring two essential positions. Only, the unconccountable 1216 01:08:04,880 --> 01:08:09,120 Speaker 13: bureaucracy will finally be reigned in. On another important matter, 1217 01:08:09,200 --> 01:08:13,400 Speaker 13: this morning, Senate Republicans continued to confirm President Trump's exceptionally 1218 01:08:13,480 --> 01:08:18,080 Speaker 13: qualified dominees, most recently Director of National Intelligence Tulca Gabbert, 1219 01:08:18,320 --> 01:08:20,240 Speaker 13: who will be joining us later at the White House 1220 01:08:20,280 --> 01:08:23,919 Speaker 13: for her swearing in ceremony. It's imperative that the remainder 1221 01:08:23,960 --> 01:08:28,320 Speaker 13: of the President's cabinet nominees are confirmed as quickly as possible. 1222 01:08:28,960 --> 01:08:32,599 Speaker 13: On another important matter this week, illegal alien criminals continue 1223 01:08:32,640 --> 01:08:35,120 Speaker 13: to be arrested and sent home as part of the 1224 01:08:35,160 --> 01:08:39,840 Speaker 13: ongoing mass deportation effort of the Trump administration. Just this week, 1225 01:08:39,960 --> 01:08:43,600 Speaker 13: two planes with one hundred and ninety Venezuelan illegal aliens 1226 01:08:43,720 --> 01:08:48,120 Speaker 13: arrived in the Venezuelan capital from Fort Bliss, Texas. Here 1227 01:08:48,120 --> 01:08:50,519 Speaker 13: are some of the criminal illegal aliens who were arrested 1228 01:08:50,520 --> 01:08:53,760 Speaker 13: in the country this past week, ICE Atlanta arrested a 1229 01:08:53,760 --> 01:08:56,960 Speaker 13: citizen of Nigeria who had been convicted of money laundering. 1230 01:08:57,520 --> 01:09:00,639 Speaker 13: Ice San Antonio arrested a citizen of men Mexico who 1231 01:09:00,640 --> 01:09:04,599 Speaker 13: had been convicted of assault. Ice Denver arrested a citizen 1232 01:09:04,680 --> 01:09:08,200 Speaker 13: of Mexico who had been convicted of aggravated assault, and 1233 01:09:08,320 --> 01:09:11,360 Speaker 13: ICE Houston arrested a citizen of Mexico who had been 1234 01:09:11,400 --> 01:09:15,640 Speaker 13: convicted of aggravated assault. Now, before I take questions, I 1235 01:09:15,680 --> 01:09:18,400 Speaker 13: would like to address an extremely dishonest narrative that we've 1236 01:09:18,439 --> 01:09:21,760 Speaker 13: seen emerging over the past few days. Many outlets in 1237 01:09:21,800 --> 01:09:25,120 Speaker 13: this room have been fear mongering the American people into 1238 01:09:25,120 --> 01:09:28,840 Speaker 13: believing there is a constitutional crisis taking place here at 1239 01:09:28,840 --> 01:09:31,719 Speaker 13: the White House. I've been hearing those words a lot lately, 1240 01:09:32,280 --> 01:09:35,519 Speaker 13: But in fact, the real constitutional crisis is taking place 1241 01:09:35,560 --> 01:09:39,479 Speaker 13: within our judicial branch, where district court judges and liberal 1242 01:09:39,520 --> 01:09:43,840 Speaker 13: districts across the country are abusing their power to unilaterally 1243 01:09:43,920 --> 01:09:49,320 Speaker 13: block President Trump's basic executive authority. We believe these judges 1244 01:09:49,360 --> 01:09:53,120 Speaker 13: are acting as judicial activists rather than honest arbiters of 1245 01:09:53,160 --> 01:09:56,480 Speaker 13: the law, and they have issued at least twelve injunctions 1246 01:09:56,520 --> 01:10:00,479 Speaker 13: against this administration in the past fourteen days, often without 1247 01:10:00,520 --> 01:10:04,200 Speaker 13: citing any evidence or grounds for their lawsuits. This is 1248 01:10:04,280 --> 01:10:07,439 Speaker 13: part of a larger, concerted effort by Democrat activists and 1249 01:10:07,560 --> 01:10:11,360 Speaker 13: nothing more than the continuation of the weaponization of justice 1250 01:10:11,600 --> 01:10:15,760 Speaker 13: against President Trump. Quick newsflash to these liberal judges who 1251 01:10:15,800 --> 01:10:20,120 Speaker 13: are supporting their obstructionist efforts. Seventy seven million Americans voted 1252 01:10:20,160 --> 01:10:24,000 Speaker 13: to elect this president, and each injunction is an abuse 1253 01:10:24,040 --> 01:10:26,160 Speaker 13: of the rule of law and an attempt to thwart 1254 01:10:26,200 --> 01:10:29,719 Speaker 13: the will of the people. As the President clearly stated 1255 01:10:29,760 --> 01:10:32,680 Speaker 13: in the Oval Office yesterday, we will comply with the 1256 01:10:32,800 --> 01:10:35,439 Speaker 13: law in the courts, but we will also continue to 1257 01:10:35,479 --> 01:10:40,280 Speaker 13: seek every legal remedy to ultimately overturn these radical injunctions 1258 01:10:40,320 --> 01:10:44,559 Speaker 13: and ensure President Trump's policies can be enacted. So here 1259 01:10:44,600 --> 01:10:47,400 Speaker 13: in our new media seat today we have Chris Pavlovski, 1260 01:10:47,680 --> 01:10:50,759 Speaker 13: an entrepreneur who has a strong passion for protecting freedom 1261 01:10:50,760 --> 01:10:54,840 Speaker 13: of speech. Chris started the video sharing platform Rumble in 1262 01:10:54,880 --> 01:10:58,479 Speaker 13: twenty thirteen with a mission of protecting a free and 1263 01:10:58,560 --> 01:11:02,120 Speaker 13: open Internet from censorship by big tech and governments around 1264 01:11:02,160 --> 01:11:04,680 Speaker 13: the globe. The platform has always been a place for 1265 01:11:04,720 --> 01:11:08,360 Speaker 13: independent creators to share their authentic opinions and that is, 1266 01:11:08,520 --> 01:11:11,720 Speaker 13: I have always included President Trump in contrast to the 1267 01:11:11,720 --> 01:11:14,719 Speaker 13: way he was censored by other platforms in years past. 1268 01:11:15,200 --> 01:11:19,240 Speaker 13: Since its founding, Rumble has grown exponentially, recently marking sixty 1269 01:11:19,320 --> 01:11:22,880 Speaker 13: seven million monthly active users. It's a lot of users. 1270 01:11:23,320 --> 01:11:25,400 Speaker 13: If you're watching right now and interested in sitting in 1271 01:11:25,400 --> 01:11:27,960 Speaker 13: this seat, you can apply white House dot gov slash 1272 01:11:28,000 --> 01:11:31,040 Speaker 13: new media media. With that, I will take your questions 1273 01:11:31,040 --> 01:11:32,720 Speaker 13: and Chris, why don't you kick us off on this 1274 01:11:32,880 --> 01:11:33,720 Speaker 13: very busy news day. 1275 01:11:34,360 --> 01:11:37,880 Speaker 24: Carolyn, thank you very much to you and President Trump 1276 01:11:38,160 --> 01:11:38,720 Speaker 24: is an honor to be. 1277 01:11:38,800 --> 01:11:40,880 Speaker 25: Sitting here in the new media seat for the. 1278 01:11:40,800 --> 01:11:43,439 Speaker 24: White House press weeping, and to be able to demonstrate 1279 01:11:43,439 --> 01:11:46,760 Speaker 24: why cretum and expression is so important. Rumble was the 1280 01:11:46,840 --> 01:11:50,720 Speaker 24: victim of censorship at the hands of multiple foreign governments. 1281 01:11:51,040 --> 01:11:53,360 Speaker 24: It's clear there are still many countries who have pose 1282 01:11:53,439 --> 01:11:57,800 Speaker 24: free speech and even target American companies. Can you describe 1283 01:11:57,920 --> 01:12:00,600 Speaker 24: what the administration to do to protect USA interests and 1284 01:12:00,680 --> 01:12:02,000 Speaker 24: values worldwide? 1285 01:12:02,600 --> 01:12:05,280 Speaker 13: Sure? Well, thanks for the very important question, and I 1286 01:12:05,320 --> 01:12:11,280 Speaker 13: think that free speech and ending censorship both here at 1287 01:12:11,280 --> 01:12:13,639 Speaker 13: home and also abroad is an important part of President 1288 01:12:13,640 --> 01:12:16,800 Speaker 13: Trump's agenda. I think first President Trump has led by 1289 01:12:16,920 --> 01:12:20,280 Speaker 13: example on this front as the leader of the free world, 1290 01:12:20,360 --> 01:12:23,760 Speaker 13: the President of the United States with his show of 1291 01:12:23,880 --> 01:12:27,960 Speaker 13: access and transparency on a daily basis, the President takes 1292 01:12:28,080 --> 01:12:32,479 Speaker 13: questions from all of you almost every single day and 1293 01:12:32,640 --> 01:12:35,840 Speaker 13: really reveals what he's thinking and feeling, and I think 1294 01:12:35,880 --> 01:12:37,519 Speaker 13: that serves as a great example to the rest of 1295 01:12:37,560 --> 01:12:41,160 Speaker 13: the world. As for tangible actions that the President has signed, 1296 01:12:41,200 --> 01:12:44,160 Speaker 13: he did sign an executive order I believe on day one, 1297 01:12:44,280 --> 01:12:47,599 Speaker 13: certainly within the first week of this administration, to restore 1298 01:12:47,680 --> 01:12:50,840 Speaker 13: free speech and stop government sponsored censorship here at home. 1299 01:12:51,360 --> 01:12:54,560 Speaker 13: And the EO made it very clear that federal employees 1300 01:12:54,600 --> 01:12:57,400 Speaker 13: are not allowed to engage in any activity that would 1301 01:12:57,600 --> 01:13:00,720 Speaker 13: infringe upon the American people's right of free expression. So 1302 01:13:00,760 --> 01:13:03,320 Speaker 13: I think the President has led quite strongly on this, 1303 01:13:03,520 --> 01:13:05,840 Speaker 13: and I would just add this is part of the 1304 01:13:05,880 --> 01:13:08,200 Speaker 13: reason we have a new media seat to invite new 1305 01:13:08,280 --> 01:13:10,200 Speaker 13: voices into this room. Again, we're going to need to 1306 01:13:10,240 --> 01:13:12,800 Speaker 13: expand this room because so many people are interested and 1307 01:13:12,840 --> 01:13:15,080 Speaker 13: we're very excited about that. It's a privilege to cover 1308 01:13:15,120 --> 01:13:17,880 Speaker 13: this White House, but we want all voices to be heard. 1309 01:13:17,920 --> 01:13:20,280 Speaker 13: So thanks for being us with here, Chris, and I 1310 01:13:20,360 --> 01:13:23,360 Speaker 13: hope you enjoyed the briefing Sure Jordan's Thanks. 1311 01:13:23,080 --> 01:13:25,840 Speaker 25: Caroline date out this morning show that consumer prices were 1312 01:13:25,840 --> 01:13:29,479 Speaker 25: off across a variety of goods. And just before that report, 1313 01:13:29,520 --> 01:13:33,000 Speaker 25: though President Trump called for lower interest rates, the Fed 1314 01:13:33,040 --> 01:13:36,559 Speaker 25: said it's holding rates steady to try and tamp down 1315 01:13:36,600 --> 01:13:40,799 Speaker 25: further inflation. So how would lowering rates help keep inflation 1316 01:13:40,960 --> 01:13:41,840 Speaker 25: check for the American people? 1317 01:13:41,920 --> 01:13:42,120 Speaker 9: Sure? 1318 01:13:42,160 --> 01:13:44,160 Speaker 13: Well, first of all, on the inflation point, we did 1319 01:13:44,200 --> 01:13:47,280 Speaker 13: receive those numbers and they were worse than expected, which 1320 01:13:47,400 --> 01:13:50,559 Speaker 13: tells us that the Biden administration indeed left us with 1321 01:13:50,640 --> 01:13:53,280 Speaker 13: a mess to deal with. It's far worse than I 1322 01:13:53,280 --> 01:13:57,680 Speaker 13: think anybody anticipated, because unfortunately, the previous administration was not 1323 01:13:57,920 --> 01:14:01,280 Speaker 13: transparent and where the economy truly was. We know people 1324 01:14:01,320 --> 01:14:04,719 Speaker 13: at those very podiums to the American people that inflation 1325 01:14:04,960 --> 01:14:08,120 Speaker 13: was transitory and that it would go away. That was 1326 01:14:08,160 --> 01:14:10,200 Speaker 13: not the case. And now the last report of the 1327 01:14:10,200 --> 01:14:14,120 Speaker 13: Biden administration, as revealed today, shows that inflation is still 1328 01:14:14,360 --> 01:14:17,280 Speaker 13: about four point five percent higher over the past three months. 1329 01:14:17,720 --> 01:14:21,080 Speaker 13: This is an indictment on the Biden administration's mismanagement of 1330 01:14:21,120 --> 01:14:24,680 Speaker 13: the inflation crisis and their lack of transparency and addressing it. 1331 01:14:24,960 --> 01:14:27,960 Speaker 13: As for tackling inflation and interest rates. The President has 1332 01:14:28,040 --> 01:14:31,759 Speaker 13: made his position on this very clear. He wants interest 1333 01:14:31,840 --> 01:14:34,240 Speaker 13: rates to be lower, he wants inflation to be lower, 1334 01:14:34,400 --> 01:14:37,559 Speaker 13: and he believes that the whole of government economic approach 1335 01:14:37,600 --> 01:14:41,200 Speaker 13: that this administration is taking will result in lower inflation. 1336 01:14:41,320 --> 01:14:43,640 Speaker 13: I have said that from this podium many times. The 1337 01:14:43,680 --> 01:14:47,240 Speaker 13: President had record low interest rates and inflation rates in 1338 01:14:47,280 --> 01:14:49,719 Speaker 13: his first term. He believes that the economy can handle 1339 01:14:49,760 --> 01:14:52,720 Speaker 13: it and withstand it, and we're doing a lot to 1340 01:14:52,800 --> 01:14:55,639 Speaker 13: tackle the inflation effort on this front. It's a whole 1341 01:14:55,680 --> 01:14:58,240 Speaker 13: of government economic approach, and I've talked about what we're 1342 01:14:58,280 --> 01:15:02,640 Speaker 13: doing to tackle inflation quite a few times from this podiums. 1343 01:15:02,720 --> 01:15:05,040 Speaker 25: That's going to come before Prime Minister visits tomorrow. 1344 01:15:05,280 --> 01:15:07,479 Speaker 13: I do believe it will come before the Prime Minister's 1345 01:15:07,920 --> 01:15:09,960 Speaker 13: visit tomorrow, and I will let the President discuss the 1346 01:15:10,000 --> 01:15:12,960 Speaker 13: details on the reciprocal tariff front. But this is something 1347 01:15:13,000 --> 01:15:16,639 Speaker 13: he believes strongly in, and it's very simple logic as 1348 01:15:16,640 --> 01:15:19,040 Speaker 13: to why the President wants to impose reciprocal tariffs. It's 1349 01:15:19,040 --> 01:15:21,559 Speaker 13: the golden rule, which we all learned when we were 1350 01:15:21,600 --> 01:15:23,880 Speaker 13: growing up in school. Treat others the way you want 1351 01:15:23,920 --> 01:15:26,400 Speaker 13: to be treated, and far too many nations around this 1352 01:15:26,439 --> 01:15:28,599 Speaker 13: world have been ripping off the United States of America 1353 01:15:28,680 --> 01:15:31,200 Speaker 13: for far too long, and that's why the President believes 1354 01:15:31,200 --> 01:15:33,639 Speaker 13: this will be a great policy that will benefit American 1355 01:15:33,680 --> 01:15:37,760 Speaker 13: workers and improve our national security. JJ on Doge and 1356 01:15:37,880 --> 01:15:41,479 Speaker 13: the fraud claims, Elon Musk in the Oval yesterday gave 1357 01:15:41,560 --> 01:15:42,720 Speaker 13: us some information on that. 1358 01:15:42,760 --> 01:15:45,080 Speaker 6: We're just wondering if there's some proved evidence. Is the 1359 01:15:45,080 --> 01:15:47,960 Speaker 6: White House willing to share evidence of those strad claims? 1360 01:15:48,000 --> 01:15:50,080 Speaker 6: Or can Elon must come to the briefing room and 1361 01:15:50,640 --> 01:15:52,799 Speaker 6: share material evidence of what he's talking about. 1362 01:15:52,880 --> 01:15:54,680 Speaker 13: Sure, I would love for Elon Musk to come to 1363 01:15:54,680 --> 01:15:56,320 Speaker 13: the briefing room. That's why we had him go to 1364 01:15:56,400 --> 01:16:00,960 Speaker 13: the Oval office yesterday, where I think he provided great answers. 1365 01:16:01,000 --> 01:16:04,720 Speaker 13: He was speaking in layman's terms, speaking common sense to 1366 01:16:04,800 --> 01:16:06,959 Speaker 13: all of you and the media, but also to Americans 1367 01:16:07,000 --> 01:16:08,760 Speaker 13: at home. But I would say especially to all of 1368 01:16:08,800 --> 01:16:10,760 Speaker 13: you and the media, because I think it's a real 1369 01:16:10,880 --> 01:16:14,559 Speaker 13: fallacy that there's this alleged lack of transparency when it 1370 01:16:14,600 --> 01:16:18,080 Speaker 13: comes to Doge. President Trump and Elon Musk have been 1371 01:16:18,200 --> 01:16:21,400 Speaker 13: incredibly transparent on what DOGE is doing. There is an 1372 01:16:21,560 --> 01:16:23,920 Speaker 13: x account with the doge handle. They are tweeting out 1373 01:16:24,120 --> 01:16:26,040 Speaker 13: what they are doing on a daily basis. They have 1374 01:16:26,080 --> 01:16:28,599 Speaker 13: a website where they are posting the receipts of the 1375 01:16:28,640 --> 01:16:31,479 Speaker 13: contracts that they are reviewing and the payments that they 1376 01:16:31,479 --> 01:16:34,519 Speaker 13: have stopped from going out the door. The secretaries of 1377 01:16:34,800 --> 01:16:37,800 Speaker 13: our departments have stopped from going out the door. And 1378 01:16:37,840 --> 01:16:40,559 Speaker 13: I would also say that before it was Elon Musk 1379 01:16:41,000 --> 01:16:44,200 Speaker 13: making our government efficient and accountable, it was some unnamed 1380 01:16:44,240 --> 01:16:47,640 Speaker 13: bureaucrat that none of you knew. Elon Musk is the 1381 01:16:47,760 --> 01:16:49,800 Speaker 13: richest man in the world. He's also now one of 1382 01:16:49,800 --> 01:16:52,559 Speaker 13: the most highly scrutinized men in the world, alongside President 1383 01:16:52,560 --> 01:16:55,160 Speaker 13: Trump because of what he's doing in the axis that 1384 01:16:55,200 --> 01:16:58,360 Speaker 13: he is allowing. So there's great transparency. As for the 1385 01:16:58,400 --> 01:17:00,880 Speaker 13: actual receipts, we are happy to provide them, and I 1386 01:17:00,920 --> 01:17:03,479 Speaker 13: actually brought some today because all of you know I 1387 01:17:03,560 --> 01:17:07,360 Speaker 13: love to bring their receipts. We have contracts upon contracts 1388 01:17:07,560 --> 01:17:09,880 Speaker 13: that we can send and provide this information to you. 1389 01:17:10,160 --> 01:17:12,200 Speaker 13: Let me be very clear, we are not trying to 1390 01:17:12,280 --> 01:17:15,040 Speaker 13: hide anything. We have been incredibly transparent and we will 1391 01:17:15,040 --> 01:17:19,000 Speaker 13: continue to be. These are screenshots of contracts that DOGE 1392 01:17:19,040 --> 01:17:22,559 Speaker 13: found across our government. This is a DEI contract thirty 1393 01:17:22,560 --> 01:17:26,040 Speaker 13: six thousand dollars for US Citizenship and Immigration services that 1394 01:17:26,200 --> 01:17:29,040 Speaker 13: is against the President's policies and his America First Agenda. 1395 01:17:29,320 --> 01:17:32,600 Speaker 13: This is a three point four million dollar contract a 1396 01:17:32,720 --> 01:17:37,559 Speaker 13: Council for Inclusive Innovation at the US Patent and Trademark Office, 1397 01:17:37,600 --> 01:17:41,800 Speaker 13: Department of con Commerce. Another DEI contract that DOGE identified. 1398 01:17:42,360 --> 01:17:44,639 Speaker 13: I can continue to go through these. Oh, I love 1399 01:17:44,680 --> 01:17:47,600 Speaker 13: this one. Fifty seven thousand bucks for climate change in 1400 01:17:47,640 --> 01:17:52,000 Speaker 13: Sri Lanka. What is this doing to continue the interests 1401 01:17:52,040 --> 01:17:55,479 Speaker 13: of the American people? Absolutely nothing. These are the line 1402 01:17:55,560 --> 01:17:58,880 Speaker 13: items across the federal government that DOGE is identifying daily. 1403 01:17:59,200 --> 01:18:01,759 Speaker 13: They're moving their very fast. There's a lot of paper 1404 01:18:01,800 --> 01:18:03,800 Speaker 13: that we can show you, but we're happy to do it. 1405 01:18:04,080 --> 01:18:07,439 Speaker 13: This administration has been more than transparent and about what 1406 01:18:07,479 --> 01:18:09,880 Speaker 13: DOGE is doing. And here's one of their tweets that 1407 01:18:09,920 --> 01:18:13,920 Speaker 13: they posted about the mind. I believe this is in Pennsylvania, 1408 01:18:13,960 --> 01:18:17,680 Speaker 13: where the federal employee retirement system is being processed. Did 1409 01:18:17,720 --> 01:18:20,280 Speaker 13: anybody know this was even happening in our country before 1410 01:18:20,280 --> 01:18:22,599 Speaker 13: Elon Musk talked about it in the Oval Office yesterday. 1411 01:18:22,840 --> 01:18:26,320 Speaker 13: A lot of Americans didn't. So we are providing transparency 1412 01:18:26,360 --> 01:18:29,400 Speaker 13: and accessibility on a daily basis when it comes to DOGE, 1413 01:18:29,760 --> 01:18:32,320 Speaker 13: and I also have a DOGE daily report if anybody 1414 01:18:32,320 --> 01:18:35,240 Speaker 13: would like it on all of the things that they 1415 01:18:35,240 --> 01:18:38,439 Speaker 13: are identifying and finding, We're happy to provide this information too. 1416 01:18:38,560 --> 01:18:40,240 Speaker 13: We're talking about it every single days. 1417 01:18:40,320 --> 01:18:42,760 Speaker 6: Are all those things you just mentioned fraud or are 1418 01:18:42,800 --> 01:18:45,759 Speaker 6: they waste or are they just contrary to the president's policies. 1419 01:18:45,800 --> 01:18:48,560 Speaker 13: I would argue that all of these things are fraudulent, 1420 01:18:48,640 --> 01:18:50,680 Speaker 13: They are wasteful, and they are an abuse of the 1421 01:18:50,720 --> 01:18:54,400 Speaker 13: American taxpayer's dollar. This is not what the government should 1422 01:18:54,400 --> 01:18:57,719 Speaker 13: be spending money on it. It's contrary to the President's 1423 01:18:57,800 --> 01:19:00,880 Speaker 13: priorities and agenda. And again, we can continue to provide 1424 01:19:00,920 --> 01:19:03,639 Speaker 13: you the receipts for all of the fraud, waste, and abuse. 1425 01:19:03,720 --> 01:19:06,200 Speaker 13: And if anybody in here wants to argue that the 1426 01:19:06,240 --> 01:19:10,679 Speaker 13: federal government is not fraudulent and some capacity, be my guest, 1427 01:19:10,720 --> 01:19:12,840 Speaker 13: because I think the American people watching at home would 1428 01:19:12,840 --> 01:19:18,640 Speaker 13: beg to differ. Mary More on the judges. Does the 1429 01:19:18,640 --> 01:19:19,640 Speaker 13: White House believe. 1430 01:19:19,400 --> 01:19:22,960 Speaker 26: The courts have the authority to issue these nationwide injunctions? 1431 01:19:23,600 --> 01:19:26,720 Speaker 13: We believe that the injunctions that have been issued by 1432 01:19:26,760 --> 01:19:29,680 Speaker 13: these judges have no basis in the law and have 1433 01:19:29,760 --> 01:19:32,400 Speaker 13: no grounds. And we will, again, as the President said 1434 01:19:32,479 --> 01:19:35,760 Speaker 13: very clearly yesterday, comply with these orders. But it is 1435 01:19:35,760 --> 01:19:39,360 Speaker 13: the administration's position that we will also ultimately be vindicated. 1436 01:19:39,760 --> 01:19:43,120 Speaker 13: And the president's executive actions that he took were completely 1437 01:19:43,160 --> 01:19:46,040 Speaker 13: within the law, they were constitutional, and we look forward 1438 01:19:46,080 --> 01:19:49,000 Speaker 13: to the day where he can continue to implement his agenda. 1439 01:19:49,120 --> 01:19:51,080 Speaker 13: And I would just add it's our view that this 1440 01:19:51,160 --> 01:19:54,000 Speaker 13: is the continuation of the weaponization of justice that we 1441 01:19:54,120 --> 01:19:56,800 Speaker 13: have seen against President Trump. He fought it for two 1442 01:19:56,840 --> 01:20:00,120 Speaker 13: years on the campaign troll. It won't stop him now, Brian, Yes, 1443 01:20:00,479 --> 01:20:00,920 Speaker 13: I want. 1444 01:20:00,760 --> 01:20:03,080 Speaker 27: To go back to dog just for a second. Earlier, 1445 01:20:03,439 --> 01:20:07,080 Speaker 27: the subcommittee, headed by a chairman Martin Taylor Green, her 1446 01:20:07,200 --> 01:20:12,000 Speaker 27: and her staff discovered two point seven trillion dollars in 1447 01:20:12,120 --> 01:20:18,200 Speaker 27: improper payments Medicare medicaid overseas to people who should not 1448 01:20:18,320 --> 01:20:20,599 Speaker 27: have gotten it. Some of this room might have missed 1449 01:20:20,600 --> 01:20:23,599 Speaker 27: that press conference. Can you elaborate on what the president 1450 01:20:24,160 --> 01:20:24,920 Speaker 27: is thinking. 1451 01:20:24,640 --> 01:20:25,160 Speaker 5: At this point? 1452 01:20:25,320 --> 01:20:28,240 Speaker 13: Well, again, that's another example. There's a very long list 1453 01:20:28,320 --> 01:20:30,880 Speaker 13: of the fraud, waste, and abuse that DOGE is identifying 1454 01:20:30,920 --> 01:20:34,240 Speaker 13: on a daily basis. Elon Musk also talked about yesterday 1455 01:20:34,240 --> 01:20:36,719 Speaker 13: about social Security payments that are going out the door 1456 01:20:36,800 --> 01:20:39,640 Speaker 13: for people who are no longer with us. Unfortunately, I 1457 01:20:39,680 --> 01:20:42,640 Speaker 13: would say that is certainly a fraud. There's also a 1458 01:20:42,680 --> 01:20:46,759 Speaker 13: lot of contracts they've identified that just as a hypothetical example, 1459 01:20:46,800 --> 01:20:49,240 Speaker 13: are a million bucks, but only five hundred thousand went 1460 01:20:49,240 --> 01:20:51,760 Speaker 13: out the door. So where's the rest of that cash? 1461 01:20:51,800 --> 01:20:53,599 Speaker 13: And so that's the thing. Those are the things that 1462 01:20:53,640 --> 01:20:56,160 Speaker 13: Doge is working on every single day. And I would 1463 01:20:56,160 --> 01:20:58,960 Speaker 13: just remind everybody in this room, this is what President 1464 01:20:59,000 --> 01:21:01,760 Speaker 13: Trump campaigned on doing. He's delivering on a promise that 1465 01:21:01,800 --> 01:21:05,760 Speaker 13: seventy seven million people elected him to do. James, thank 1466 01:21:05,800 --> 01:21:06,960 Speaker 13: you very much, Caroline. 1467 01:21:07,000 --> 01:21:09,320 Speaker 5: Two foreign policy questions, if I may sure. 1468 01:21:09,560 --> 01:21:13,439 Speaker 11: First, the statement that was released after this morning's phone 1469 01:21:13,479 --> 01:21:18,000 Speaker 11: calls identified mister Wikoff as the special envoy who will 1470 01:21:18,000 --> 01:21:21,560 Speaker 11: be part of the delegation that undertakes to resolve the 1471 01:21:21,640 --> 01:21:26,679 Speaker 11: Russian Ukraine War. I had thought that that was General Kellogg, 1472 01:21:26,720 --> 01:21:28,040 Speaker 11: and so can you clear that up? 1473 01:21:28,400 --> 01:21:28,679 Speaker 12: Sure? 1474 01:21:28,720 --> 01:21:29,479 Speaker 5: I'd be happy to. 1475 01:21:30,000 --> 01:21:32,920 Speaker 13: As you mentioned, the President in his truth following the 1476 01:21:32,960 --> 01:21:36,360 Speaker 13: phone call with Vladimir Putin said that he has asked 1477 01:21:36,400 --> 01:21:39,280 Speaker 13: Secretary of State Rubio, I'm the Director of the CIA, 1478 01:21:39,400 --> 01:21:42,519 Speaker 13: John Ratcliffe, our National Security advisor here at the White House, 1479 01:21:42,560 --> 01:21:46,280 Speaker 13: Michael Watts, and Steve Whitcoff to lead the negotiations. As 1480 01:21:46,280 --> 01:21:48,840 Speaker 13: for General Keith Kellogg, he remains a critical part of 1481 01:21:48,840 --> 01:21:51,400 Speaker 13: this team in this effort. He's played a tremendous role 1482 01:21:51,439 --> 01:21:53,960 Speaker 13: in getting the negotiations to this point and he's very 1483 01:21:54,040 --> 01:21:56,000 Speaker 13: much still part of the Trump administration. 1484 01:21:56,120 --> 01:22:00,880 Speaker 11: The other subject, is it wrong? I took of President 1485 01:22:00,920 --> 01:22:05,400 Speaker 11: Trump's comments in his Super Bowl interview with our colleague 1486 01:22:05,400 --> 01:22:07,880 Speaker 11: Brett Baer to the effect that he wants to do 1487 01:22:07,920 --> 01:22:12,920 Speaker 11: a deal with Iran. However, that interview appeared after the 1488 01:22:12,960 --> 01:22:16,759 Speaker 11: Supreme Leader of Iran, the Ayatola Ali Khameni, had already 1489 01:22:16,800 --> 01:22:20,080 Speaker 11: ruled out any additional negotiations with the United States. So 1490 01:22:20,160 --> 01:22:23,400 Speaker 11: kind of a two part question, A what gives the 1491 01:22:23,439 --> 01:22:26,559 Speaker 11: President any confidence that Iran will come to the table? 1492 01:22:27,240 --> 01:22:32,840 Speaker 11: And be more fundamentally, why is the President interested in 1493 01:22:32,920 --> 01:22:35,760 Speaker 11: doing a deal with Iran instead of doing everything he can, 1494 01:22:35,880 --> 01:22:39,439 Speaker 11: perhaps short of US military intervention, to try and pace 1495 01:22:39,479 --> 01:22:41,400 Speaker 11: in the end of what many of his own supporters 1496 01:22:41,439 --> 01:22:42,719 Speaker 11: regard as an evil regime. 1497 01:22:43,400 --> 01:22:45,960 Speaker 13: Well, the President has made it very clear that he 1498 01:22:46,000 --> 01:22:49,519 Speaker 13: will never allow Iran to have nuclear capabilities. That is 1499 01:22:49,600 --> 01:22:52,200 Speaker 13: a red line that he has drawn and he will 1500 01:22:52,200 --> 01:22:55,000 Speaker 13: not allow that to happen. But you asked why President 1501 01:22:55,000 --> 01:22:57,360 Speaker 13: Trump wants to make a deal, I would remind you 1502 01:22:57,479 --> 01:22:59,680 Speaker 13: he's the master of the art of the deal. He 1503 01:22:59,760 --> 01:23:02,600 Speaker 13: is America's deal maker in chief. He leads from a 1504 01:23:02,640 --> 01:23:06,320 Speaker 13: position of securing peace through strength, and I think time 1505 01:23:06,400 --> 01:23:09,519 Speaker 13: and time again already in just four weeks, we have 1506 01:23:09,600 --> 01:23:13,439 Speaker 13: seen the President being able to negotiate successful deals with 1507 01:23:14,120 --> 01:23:18,160 Speaker 13: our partners, our adversaries all around this world. You know, 1508 01:23:18,280 --> 01:23:21,320 Speaker 13: the release of Mark Fogel just last night is something 1509 01:23:21,360 --> 01:23:23,839 Speaker 13: that I think speaks to the President's deal making ability. 1510 01:23:23,920 --> 01:23:27,519 Speaker 13: This is something that the Biden administration allegedly tried to 1511 01:23:27,520 --> 01:23:29,160 Speaker 13: do for three and a half years. I think you 1512 01:23:29,240 --> 01:23:31,400 Speaker 13: all should go back and ask some of those Biden 1513 01:23:31,439 --> 01:23:34,519 Speaker 13: administration officials what they even tried to do and why 1514 01:23:34,520 --> 01:23:37,120 Speaker 13: weren't they successful? Because for three and a half years, 1515 01:23:37,160 --> 01:23:40,400 Speaker 13: Mark Fogel sat in a Russian prison prison and it 1516 01:23:40,439 --> 01:23:43,320 Speaker 13: took President Trump three weeks to get him back on 1517 01:23:43,360 --> 01:23:46,840 Speaker 13: American soil. There's nobody better at making deals than Donald Trump. 1518 01:23:47,120 --> 01:23:49,000 Speaker 13: Phil Wegman, thank you to your. 1519 01:23:48,880 --> 01:23:49,920 Speaker 28: Former policy questions. 1520 01:23:50,680 --> 01:23:54,760 Speaker 29: Ukrainian presidents Zelenski has said after the war that he 1521 01:23:54,880 --> 01:23:58,280 Speaker 29: wants NATO membership or nuclear weapons. We heard Defense Secretary 1522 01:23:58,360 --> 01:24:03,280 Speaker 29: he say the NATO membership was unrealistic. Was the president's 1523 01:24:03,360 --> 01:24:05,559 Speaker 29: view on the other option on a nuclear Ukraine. 1524 01:24:05,840 --> 01:24:08,760 Speaker 13: I have not talked to President John about Ukraine's NATO 1525 01:24:08,840 --> 01:24:12,240 Speaker 13: membership or their nuclear capabilities. I would leave it to 1526 01:24:12,320 --> 01:24:15,439 Speaker 13: him to discuss. But I will tell you again that 1527 01:24:15,479 --> 01:24:18,320 Speaker 13: Secretary Rubio and also the Vice President J. D. Vance 1528 01:24:18,320 --> 01:24:22,799 Speaker 13: will be meeting directly with President Zelensky and Munich on Friday, 1529 01:24:22,800 --> 01:24:25,599 Speaker 13: and I'm sure they will provide a readout of that 1530 01:24:25,720 --> 01:24:27,120 Speaker 13: conversation and that discussion. 1531 01:24:27,680 --> 01:24:31,160 Speaker 29: Question, given that this administration has called on Europe to 1532 01:24:31,200 --> 01:24:37,400 Speaker 29: take more responsibility for their own defense, I'm wondering will 1533 01:24:37,439 --> 01:24:40,599 Speaker 29: the EU or any other European nation other than Ukraine 1534 01:24:40,720 --> 01:24:41,800 Speaker 29: be involved. 1535 01:24:41,360 --> 01:24:42,360 Speaker 5: In these peace talks. 1536 01:24:42,800 --> 01:24:45,599 Speaker 13: I don't have any European nations who are involved currently 1537 01:24:45,640 --> 01:24:48,400 Speaker 13: to read out for you. Certainly, you know the President 1538 01:24:48,439 --> 01:24:50,800 Speaker 13: has employed a very strong team or deployed a very 1539 01:24:50,840 --> 01:24:54,080 Speaker 13: strong team to continue these negotiations, and the fact that 1540 01:24:54,120 --> 01:24:56,200 Speaker 13: he was on the phone with both President Putin and 1541 01:24:56,280 --> 01:24:59,280 Speaker 13: President Zelensky today shows that he is very much involved 1542 01:24:59,280 --> 01:24:59,800 Speaker 13: in this effort. 1543 01:25:00,120 --> 01:25:05,639 Speaker 29: Well, should we expect the president to negotiate in person 1544 01:25:06,439 --> 01:25:07,360 Speaker 29: with Lensky? 1545 01:25:07,520 --> 01:25:09,880 Speaker 13: And I don't have anything to read out on that 1546 01:25:09,960 --> 01:25:11,880 Speaker 13: for you today, Maggie, good to see you. 1547 01:25:12,200 --> 01:25:13,559 Speaker 5: Thanks, Thanks, good question. 1548 01:25:14,320 --> 01:25:18,360 Speaker 6: You talked about the transparency with DOGE and Elon Musk's 1549 01:25:19,120 --> 01:25:22,920 Speaker 6: prince availability yesterday.

And as the President said, if he 1566 01:26:05,560 --> 01:26:08,160 Speaker 13: feels like Elon is engaging in something that's a conflict 1567 01:26:08,160 --> 01:26:10,120 Speaker 13: of interest, he will tell Elon not to do that. 1568 01:26:10,520 --> 01:26:13,920 Speaker 13: And Elon also said yesterday that before he moves forward 1569 01:26:13,960 --> 01:26:17,160 Speaker 13: with anything, he consults with the President of the United States. 1570 01:26:17,240 --> 01:26:21,080 Speaker 13: So we're very confident with the ethics and the guardrals 1571 01:26:21,080 --> 01:26:23,960 Speaker 13: that have been put in place here.

We did 1586 01:26:59,320 --> 01:27:02,080 Speaker 30: hear from the Defense Secretary he had said today, saying 1587 01:27:02,080 --> 01:27:05,360 Speaker 30: that NATO membership is not realistic for Ukraine and neither. 1588 01:27:05,200 --> 01:27:07,400 Speaker 13: Is returning to pre twenty fourteen borders. 1589 01:27:07,760 --> 01:27:10,479 Speaker 30: Aren't they giving away bargaining chips for these negotiations and 1590 01:27:10,560 --> 01:27:11,679 Speaker 30: get he started again. 1591 01:27:11,760 --> 01:27:15,000 Speaker 13: I haven't talked to the President about Ukraine's NATO membership, 1592 01:27:15,400 --> 01:27:19,559 Speaker 13: and he appointed several individuals to negotiate on his behalf. 1593 01:27:19,600 --> 01:27:22,680 Speaker 13: He's directly involved in these negotiations as well. And I'm 1594 01:27:22,680 --> 01:27:24,599 Speaker 13: sure if you ask him that question in the near future, 1595 01:27:24,640 --> 01:27:26,400 Speaker 13: when you're able to, he'll give you an answer. I 1596 01:27:26,439 --> 01:27:27,680 Speaker 13: just don't want to get ahead of him on it. 1597 01:27:28,960 --> 01:27:31,559 Speaker 30: Which White House official made the decision to bar the 1598 01:27:31,560 --> 01:27:34,839 Speaker 30: AP reporter from the Oval Office and the Diplomatic Reception 1599 01:27:34,920 --> 01:27:35,599 Speaker 30: room last night. 1600 01:27:35,640 --> 01:27:37,759 Speaker 13: Well, first of all, let me just set the record straight. 1601 01:27:38,360 --> 01:27:40,720 Speaker 13: It is a privilege to cover this White House. It's 1602 01:27:40,720 --> 01:27:43,439 Speaker 13: a privilege to be the White House Press secretary, and 1603 01:27:43,800 --> 01:27:46,559 Speaker 13: nobody has the right to go into the Oval Office 1604 01:27:46,600 --> 01:27:49,040 Speaker 13: and ask the President of the United States questions. That's 1605 01:27:49,040 --> 01:27:52,080 Speaker 13: an invitation that is given. And there are hundreds of 1606 01:27:52,080 --> 01:27:54,639 Speaker 13: outlets on this campus, many of you in this room 1607 01:27:54,640 --> 01:27:57,200 Speaker 13: who don't have the privilege of being part of that pool. 1608 01:27:57,280 --> 01:27:59,920 Speaker 13: Every single day and getting to ask the president question. 1609 01:28:00,320 --> 01:28:03,160 Speaker 13: We reserve the right to decide who gets to go 1610 01:28:03,200 --> 01:28:06,559 Speaker 13: into the Oval office, and you all have credentials to 1611 01:28:06,600 --> 01:28:08,640 Speaker 13: be here, including the Associated Press, who is in this 1612 01:28:08,680 --> 01:28:09,519 Speaker 13: briefing room today. 1613 01:28:09,920 --> 01:28:13,600 Speaker 30: Retaliatory in nature is the argument, because the reason that 1614 01:28:13,640 --> 01:28:15,639 Speaker 30: the APU is barred, which they said, was because they're 1615 01:28:15,680 --> 01:28:18,400 Speaker 30: not using the phrase Gulf of America. They're using Gulf 1616 01:28:18,400 --> 01:28:20,880 Speaker 30: of Mexico in line with their standards. And so the 1617 01:28:21,000 --> 01:28:22,920 Speaker 30: question here is is the setting of precedent that this 1618 01:28:22,960 --> 01:28:25,120 Speaker 30: White House will retaliate against. 1619 01:28:24,880 --> 01:28:27,519 Speaker 31: Reporters who don't use the language that you guys believe 1620 01:28:27,560 --> 01:28:30,120 Speaker 31: reporters should use, and how does that align with the 1621 01:28:30,160 --> 01:28:32,120 Speaker 31: First Amendment commitment that you were just talking about. 1622 01:28:32,200 --> 01:28:34,639 Speaker 13: I was very upfront in my briefing on day one 1623 01:28:35,280 --> 01:28:38,000 Speaker 13: that if we feel that there are lies being pushed 1624 01:28:38,000 --> 01:28:40,360 Speaker 13: by outlets in this room, we are going to hold 1625 01:28:40,600 --> 01:28:43,559 Speaker 13: those lies accountable. And it is a fact that the 1626 01:28:43,560 --> 01:28:46,400 Speaker 13: body of water off the coast of Louisiana is called 1627 01:28:46,479 --> 01:28:49,200 Speaker 13: the Gulf of America, and I'm not sure why news 1628 01:28:49,200 --> 01:28:51,720 Speaker 13: outlets don't want to call it that, but that is 1629 01:28:51,760 --> 01:28:54,760 Speaker 13: what it is. The Secretary of Interior has made that 1630 01:28:54,800 --> 01:29:00,479 Speaker 13: the official designation and the geographical identification name server. Apple 1631 01:29:00,560 --> 01:29:03,439 Speaker 13: has recognized that. Google has recognized that. Pretty much every 1632 01:29:03,439 --> 01:29:05,640 Speaker 13: other outlet in this room has recognized that body of 1633 01:29:05,640 --> 01:29:08,200 Speaker 13: water as the Gulf of America. And it's very important 1634 01:29:08,200 --> 01:29:10,559 Speaker 13: to this administration that we get that right, not just 1635 01:29:10,600 --> 01:29:12,519 Speaker 13: for people here at home, but also for the rest 1636 01:29:12,560 --> 01:29:14,439 Speaker 13: of the world. Sure, thank you, Caroline. 1637 01:29:14,880 --> 01:29:17,160 Speaker 3: The prisoner exchange with Russia coming at the same time 1638 01:29:17,200 --> 01:29:20,200 Speaker 3: as the President is now announcing negotiations to end the 1639 01:29:20,240 --> 01:29:21,400 Speaker 3: war in Ukraine. 1640 01:29:21,360 --> 01:29:23,040 Speaker 13: The timing of that is hard to ignore. 1641 01:29:23,880 --> 01:29:26,400 Speaker 3: Was Ukraine discussed as part of this prisoner's law. 1642 01:29:27,120 --> 01:29:29,679 Speaker 13: I was not involved in those discussions, so I can't 1643 01:29:29,680 --> 01:29:32,920 Speaker 13: comment on whether that came up or not. What I 1644 01:29:32,960 --> 01:29:35,040 Speaker 13: can say is that this was a very good deal 1645 01:29:35,720 --> 01:29:37,880 Speaker 13: for the United States of America and for the rest 1646 01:29:37,920 --> 01:29:40,720 Speaker 13: of the world. As you know, we have confirmed that 1647 01:29:40,720 --> 01:29:44,080 Speaker 13: the Russian who will be returning home very soon, Alexander Vinnick, 1648 01:29:44,520 --> 01:29:48,040 Speaker 13: was a non Violet crypto criminal, and as part of 1649 01:29:48,080 --> 01:29:51,120 Speaker 13: this exchange, he has forfeited more than one hundred million 1650 01:29:51,200 --> 01:29:57,080 Speaker 13: dollars that he obtained in that illegal crime. And in exchange, 1651 01:29:57,120 --> 01:29:59,760 Speaker 13: of course, we got Mark Fogel, who is a middle 1652 01:29:59,760 --> 01:30:03,200 Speaker 13: school teacher who kissed the American soil but kissed the 1653 01:30:03,200 --> 01:30:05,840 Speaker 13: ground last night when he returned to the United States 1654 01:30:05,840 --> 01:30:08,360 Speaker 13: of America. It was a great deal in a great 1655 01:30:08,479 --> 01:30:11,400 Speaker 13: day for our country, and I think everybody regardless of 1656 01:30:11,439 --> 01:30:13,040 Speaker 13: political affiliation, agrees with that. 1657 01:30:13,600 --> 01:30:16,960 Speaker 3: Was Russia made aware ahead of time of the parameters 1658 01:30:16,960 --> 01:30:19,200 Speaker 3: that the administration and Secretary hig Seth was going to 1659 01:30:19,200 --> 01:30:20,240 Speaker 3: be announcing. 1660 01:30:19,760 --> 01:30:22,840 Speaker 13: Today the NATO perimeters. I'm not sure you'd have to 1661 01:30:22,880 --> 01:30:25,400 Speaker 13: ask Secretary heg Seth in the Defense Department on that 1662 01:30:25,640 --> 01:30:29,479 Speaker 13: since he announced them, Jackie, thank you. Just to be clear, So, 1663 01:30:29,680 --> 01:30:31,559 Speaker 13: when we're listening for a. 1664 01:30:31,600 --> 01:30:35,240 Speaker 31: Shifting position on US policy, should we only listen to 1665 01:30:35,280 --> 01:30:37,720 Speaker 31: the president and maybe not the Secretary of Defense because 1666 01:30:37,760 --> 01:30:40,799 Speaker 31: what he outlined today would represent a shift to US policy. 1667 01:30:40,880 --> 01:30:42,800 Speaker 13: I'm not saying that. I'm just saying I speak for 1668 01:30:42,840 --> 01:30:45,120 Speaker 13: the President of the United States behind this podium, and 1669 01:30:45,160 --> 01:30:47,640 Speaker 13: I will let him discuss that. We just tell us 1670 01:30:47,680 --> 01:30:50,479 Speaker 13: any more about the next hostage releases. I understand that 1671 01:30:50,479 --> 01:30:52,920 Speaker 13: the Americans coming out today. Sure, I'm glad you asked. 1672 01:30:53,000 --> 01:30:55,800 Speaker 13: It speaks to President Trump's deal making ability and we 1673 01:30:55,840 --> 01:30:59,960 Speaker 13: can confirm the safe release of one American and two 1674 01:31:00,240 --> 01:31:04,080 Speaker 13: individuals from Belarus, one of whom worked for Radio Liberty. 1675 01:31:04,680 --> 01:31:08,360 Speaker 13: Out of respect for the privacy of these individuals their request, 1676 01:31:08,439 --> 01:31:11,040 Speaker 13: we have no further details to announce on their identities, 1677 01:31:11,160 --> 01:31:14,280 Speaker 13: but we can confirm that one American was released today 1678 01:31:14,400 --> 01:31:17,639 Speaker 13: and it's a remarkable victory on the heels of Mark 1679 01:31:17,680 --> 01:31:21,080 Speaker 13: Vogel returning to America last night. Anything on who the 1680 01:31:21,160 --> 01:31:24,519 Speaker 13: US might be releasing in exchange, I don't have details 1681 01:31:24,520 --> 01:31:26,599 Speaker 13: on that at this moment. Any I don't have details 1682 01:31:26,600 --> 01:31:28,200 Speaker 13: on that at this moment. I do know that these 1683 01:31:28,240 --> 01:31:31,240 Speaker 13: three individuals have been released and are on their way 1684 01:31:31,240 --> 01:31:34,840 Speaker 13: home to their respective countries. We Jai, thank you so much. 1685 01:31:35,520 --> 01:31:39,120 Speaker 32: Can you explain how President Trump envisions the war in 1686 01:31:39,200 --> 01:31:42,280 Speaker 32: Russia and Ukraine coming to an end? Does he expect 1687 01:31:42,800 --> 01:31:46,080 Speaker 32: Ukraine to hand over all the territory in question? 1688 01:31:46,320 --> 01:31:49,919 Speaker 13: Again, these negotiations are ongoing. I will allow the President 1689 01:31:50,000 --> 01:31:52,920 Speaker 13: to divulge any red lines that he may set, but 1690 01:31:53,000 --> 01:31:55,799 Speaker 13: I think as deals in the past have come to fruition, 1691 01:31:55,920 --> 01:31:59,080 Speaker 13: the President has proven one of the things that makes 1692 01:31:59,160 --> 01:32:02,400 Speaker 13: him a very effective negotiator is not revealing what he's 1693 01:32:02,439 --> 01:32:05,839 Speaker 13: anticipating from both sides. But he is at the forefront 1694 01:32:05,840 --> 01:32:08,960 Speaker 13: of these negotiations, in addition to the very qualified individuals 1695 01:32:09,000 --> 01:32:12,400 Speaker 13: who he's tasked with speaking to both President Putin and 1696 01:32:12,439 --> 01:32:13,320 Speaker 13: President Zelenskin. 1697 01:32:13,439 --> 01:32:16,920 Speaker 32: Speaking of deals, a meeting with the President of the 1698 01:32:17,000 --> 01:32:21,400 Speaker 32: United States offers any foreign leader credibility. Was it part 1699 01:32:21,439 --> 01:32:25,200 Speaker 32: of the prisoner swap with Fogel that President Trump agreed 1700 01:32:25,520 --> 01:32:26,479 Speaker 32: to meet with Putin? 1701 01:32:26,800 --> 01:32:29,400 Speaker 13: Again, I was already asked this question, I said, I 1702 01:32:29,880 --> 01:32:32,120 Speaker 13: was not made aware of that, but we can certainly 1703 01:32:32,120 --> 01:32:33,519 Speaker 13: get you an answer on that. I'll check in with 1704 01:32:33,560 --> 01:32:36,280 Speaker 13: the NSC. Sure, Monica. Thanks Carolyn. 1705 01:32:36,840 --> 01:32:39,679 Speaker 31: It's clear that this administration is dedicated to both truth 1706 01:32:39,720 --> 01:32:40,560 Speaker 31: and transparency. 1707 01:32:40,560 --> 01:32:41,400 Speaker 20: We know that with DOGE. 1708 01:32:41,479 --> 01:32:43,200 Speaker 13: But we also know that because. 1709 01:32:43,000 --> 01:32:46,880 Speaker 31: This administration recently announced it's going to declassify the assassinations 1710 01:32:47,000 --> 01:32:51,000 Speaker 31: of Martin Luther King Junior, JFK, and RFK. I'm wondering, 1711 01:32:51,040 --> 01:32:53,000 Speaker 31: is it likely that we're going to see more information 1712 01:32:53,120 --> 01:32:56,400 Speaker 31: regarding the assassination attempts on the President's life while he 1713 01:32:56,439 --> 01:32:57,320 Speaker 31: was on the campaign trail. 1714 01:32:58,520 --> 01:33:01,400 Speaker 13: In regards to the assassination of the individuals you mentioned, 1715 01:33:01,479 --> 01:33:05,800 Speaker 13: President Trump signed that executive order directing the respective agencies 1716 01:33:05,800 --> 01:33:08,400 Speaker 13: to do it. I know that that process continues and 1717 01:33:08,560 --> 01:33:12,200 Speaker 13: is ongoing. He's committed to transparency and the declassification of 1718 01:33:12,240 --> 01:33:14,760 Speaker 13: these very important files that I think many Americans are 1719 01:33:14,800 --> 01:33:17,400 Speaker 13: not only interested in learning about, but also have the 1720 01:33:17,479 --> 01:33:21,200 Speaker 13: right to know about. As for the two heinous assassination 1721 01:33:21,240 --> 01:33:24,280 Speaker 13: attempts on the President's life, He's spoken to this publicly. 1722 01:33:24,320 --> 01:33:26,519 Speaker 13: I've spoken to him about it privately, and you know, 1723 01:33:26,560 --> 01:33:28,960 Speaker 13: as he said publicly to all of you, he feels 1724 01:33:29,320 --> 01:33:32,360 Speaker 13: he has a right to know about further information about 1725 01:33:32,360 --> 01:33:35,240 Speaker 13: the individuals who tried to kill him, tried to take 1726 01:33:35,280 --> 01:33:40,040 Speaker 13: his life, and so if and when we get that information, 1727 01:33:40,600 --> 01:33:43,040 Speaker 13: I'll leave it up to the President to decide whether 1728 01:33:43,120 --> 01:33:45,000 Speaker 13: or not he would like to reveal it. But I 1729 01:33:45,040 --> 01:33:48,000 Speaker 13: believe in the effort of transparency that we've seen consistently 1730 01:33:48,000 --> 01:33:51,400 Speaker 13: from this president, he certainly will. Daniel, Thanks, Carolyn. 1731 01:33:51,680 --> 01:33:53,599 Speaker 20: I want to ask you about the fifty nine million 1732 01:33:53,640 --> 01:33:57,080 Speaker 20: dollars that hem Is sent to New York City hotels. 1733 01:33:57,439 --> 01:34:00,840 Speaker 20: Secretary of Christino just put out a statements claw back 1734 01:34:00,960 --> 01:34:04,679 Speaker 20: the full payment that FEMA activist unilaterally gave to NYC 1735 01:34:04,880 --> 01:34:07,479 Speaker 20: Migrant hotels. She wrote, mark my words, there will not 1736 01:34:07,560 --> 01:34:09,880 Speaker 20: be a single penny spent that goes against the interest 1737 01:34:09,920 --> 01:34:12,920 Speaker 20: in safety of the American people. What does the response 1738 01:34:12,960 --> 01:34:16,080 Speaker 20: to the Trump administration send Any federal bureaucrats that are 1739 01:34:16,080 --> 01:34:18,720 Speaker 20: thinking about obstructing the President's agenda. 1740 01:34:18,600 --> 01:34:21,400 Speaker 13: They will be held accountable that the President is signing 1741 01:34:21,479 --> 01:34:26,080 Speaker 13: executive orders daily, and he expects all officials across the administration, 1742 01:34:26,240 --> 01:34:29,040 Speaker 13: regardless if they are a political appointee or if they 1743 01:34:29,080 --> 01:34:32,320 Speaker 13: are a career bureaucrat, to adhere to the will of 1744 01:34:32,360 --> 01:34:35,200 Speaker 13: the American people and the seventy seven million Americans who 1745 01:34:35,520 --> 01:34:38,360 Speaker 13: re elected President Trump.

I know that a story is 1762 01:35:21,240 --> 01:35:23,479 Speaker 13: likely of great interest to the New York Post. 1763 01:35:23,840 --> 01:35:28,559 Speaker 33: What, John, is President Trump waiting for a kind of 1764 01:35:28,680 --> 01:35:32,280 Speaker 33: signal or an action from Putin to go to Russia? 1765 01:35:32,400 --> 01:35:35,360 Speaker 33: And just you know, would he be willing to go 1766 01:35:35,400 --> 01:35:36,479 Speaker 33: to Ukraine in the future. 1767 01:35:36,720 --> 01:35:39,960 Speaker 13: I don't have any decisions to make on the President's 1768 01:35:40,120 --> 01:35:43,960 Speaker 13: potential visit to Russia or any in person meeting at 1769 01:35:43,960 --> 01:35:44,360 Speaker 13: this time. 1770 01:35:44,640 --> 01:35:48,680 Speaker 28: John Caroline two questions, one on foreign policy, one on 1771 01:35:48,720 --> 01:35:51,640 Speaker 28: domestic policy, following up on the President's call that he 1772 01:35:51,720 --> 01:35:54,680 Speaker 28: had with President Putin. Does the President view Russia? Does 1773 01:35:54,680 --> 01:35:58,480 Speaker 28: a view President Putin as an ally, as a partner, 1774 01:35:58,920 --> 01:36:01,360 Speaker 28: as a competitor, or as an adversary. 1775 01:36:01,640 --> 01:36:05,400 Speaker 13: I believe this nation views Putin and Russia as a 1776 01:36:05,439 --> 01:36:08,559 Speaker 13: great competitor in the region at times and adversary. But 1777 01:36:08,600 --> 01:36:12,479 Speaker 13: as the President has said as well, he enjoys having 1778 01:36:12,680 --> 01:36:16,600 Speaker 13: good diplomatic relationships with leaders around the world, finding that 1779 01:36:16,800 --> 01:36:19,599 Speaker 13: common ground, also calling them out when they are wrong 1780 01:36:19,640 --> 01:36:22,679 Speaker 13: in leading from a position of peace through strength. That's 1781 01:36:22,680 --> 01:36:26,280 Speaker 13: the President's greatest strength. And we've seen that again time 1782 01:36:26,320 --> 01:36:26,880 Speaker 13: and time again. 1783 01:36:26,960 --> 01:36:28,719 Speaker 28: And then, as you chein it out in your statement 1784 01:36:28,880 --> 01:36:32,560 Speaker 28: regarding the confirmation of Tulsi Gabbert, there was one Republican 1785 01:36:32,560 --> 01:36:36,080 Speaker 28: who voted against the nomination of Tulsi Gabbert. It was 1786 01:36:36,120 --> 01:36:40,320 Speaker 28: Senator Mitch McConnell. Similarly, how does the administration. 1787 01:36:39,960 --> 01:36:41,120 Speaker 27: View Senator McConnell. 1788 01:36:41,560 --> 01:36:44,439 Speaker 28: Can he be a partner in the President's legislative agenda? 1789 01:36:44,680 --> 01:36:48,000 Speaker 28: Are you disappointed that he voted against not only Tulci Gabbert, 1790 01:36:48,000 --> 01:36:51,120 Speaker 28: but also Heaton hag said to be the Defense Secretary. 1791 01:36:51,160 --> 01:36:54,320 Speaker 13: I think we're greatly disappointed in any Republican who chooses 1792 01:36:54,600 --> 01:36:59,760 Speaker 13: willfully to vote against the President's exceptionally qualified cabinet nominees 1793 01:36:59,800 --> 01:37:03,880 Speaker 13: and picks to lead his America First administration. Not a 1794 01:37:03,920 --> 01:37:08,240 Speaker 13: single Democrat swayed from voting against President Biden's nominees. And 1795 01:37:08,280 --> 01:37:10,320 Speaker 13: we know how many of them turned out. They turned 1796 01:37:10,360 --> 01:37:13,320 Speaker 13: out to be atrocious at their jobs, leaving America much 1797 01:37:13,360 --> 01:37:15,519 Speaker 13: worse than they were when they took the oath of office. 1798 01:37:15,600 --> 01:37:18,400 Speaker 13: And so I've said it repeatedly from this podium. I 1799 01:37:18,439 --> 01:37:21,040 Speaker 13: addressed it at the beginning of my remarks. We expect 1800 01:37:21,080 --> 01:37:24,800 Speaker 13: all Republicans to vote to stay tough and strong vote 1801 01:37:24,840 --> 01:37:27,120 Speaker 13: for President Trump's nominee so we can get to work 1802 01:37:27,479 --> 01:37:31,920 Speaker 13: and continue to work very hard to implement this president's agenda. Sure, 1803 01:37:32,320 --> 01:37:33,919 Speaker 13: thank you, Thank you, Caroline. 1804 01:37:34,680 --> 01:37:40,320 Speaker 34: On South Korea, South Korea is currently in a chaotic situation. 1805 01:37:40,520 --> 01:37:43,360 Speaker 34: On how does it this placed in a Trump or 1806 01:37:43,560 --> 01:37:48,479 Speaker 34: reactive to the put in a chaotic situation in South Kodia. Secondly, 1807 01:37:48,960 --> 01:37:53,479 Speaker 34: it was South Korean we to ft from United the State. 1808 01:37:54,120 --> 01:37:57,479 Speaker 34: What LRD do you think the US will play? 1809 01:37:58,560 --> 01:38:01,719 Speaker 13: Sure, I haven't spoken to the about the ongoing situation 1810 01:38:01,800 --> 01:38:04,240 Speaker 13: in South Korea. I would defer you to his previous statements. 1811 01:38:04,479 --> 01:38:05,720 Speaker 13: I mean, I can also see if I can get 1812 01:38:05,800 --> 01:38:08,479 Speaker 13: you something new from the National Security Council, who I'm 1813 01:38:08,720 --> 01:38:11,360 Speaker 13: very confident the officials that are focused on South Korea 1814 01:38:11,680 --> 01:38:13,880 Speaker 13: are on this. I just haven't spoken to them about it, 1815 01:38:13,920 --> 01:38:15,200 Speaker 13: but I'm happy to provide that for you. 1816 01:38:16,040 --> 01:38:19,719 Speaker 35: Yes, thank you, Carolin. Does does Elon Musk have power 1817 01:38:19,720 --> 01:38:20,560 Speaker 35: of the presidency? 1818 01:38:20,880 --> 01:38:23,599 Speaker 13: Absolutely? Not right, That's a ridiculous question. 1819 01:38:24,000 --> 01:38:26,200 Speaker 35: Asked that question because you know the Democrats have been 1820 01:38:26,280 --> 01:38:30,479 Speaker 35: hurling insults at Elon Musk hurling attacks calling in President Musk. 1821 01:38:30,800 --> 01:38:33,679 Speaker 35: Most recently Jamie Raskin the Congressmen took it a step further, 1822 01:38:34,080 --> 01:38:37,559 Speaker 35: calling from Musk's impeachment, saying that you somehow you served 1823 01:38:37,640 --> 01:38:38,800 Speaker 35: the power of the presidency. 1824 01:38:39,000 --> 01:38:43,479 Speaker 13: What's your response, It's utterly ridiculous. Elon Musk addressed this 1825 01:38:43,720 --> 01:38:47,479 Speaker 13: in the Oval Office yesterday. The President addressed it as well. 1826 01:38:47,479 --> 01:38:50,040 Speaker 13: Elon Musk is serving at the pleasure of the President, 1827 01:38:50,360 --> 01:38:52,960 Speaker 13: just like everybody else on this team. He takes directives 1828 01:38:53,160 --> 01:38:55,840 Speaker 13: directly from the President of the United States. And I 1829 01:38:55,840 --> 01:38:57,960 Speaker 13: think some of the comments that you refer to are 1830 01:38:57,960 --> 01:39:00,600 Speaker 13: nothing more than a failed attempt from the meet and 1831 01:39:00,640 --> 01:39:03,559 Speaker 13: from Democrats to try to sew division in this White House. 1832 01:39:03,720 --> 01:39:05,240 Speaker 13: We saw them do it in the first term. We're 1833 01:39:05,240 --> 01:39:06,680 Speaker 13: not going to let them do it in the second term. 1834 01:39:06,720 --> 01:39:09,040 Speaker 13: This is a unified team who is working at the 1835 01:39:09,040 --> 01:39:10,920 Speaker 13: pleasure of the President to do what's right for the 1836 01:39:10,920 --> 01:39:13,800 Speaker 13: American people. I have one more quick housekeeping note before 1837 01:39:13,840 --> 01:39:16,360 Speaker 13: I leave you all today. The President wanted me to 1838 01:39:16,360 --> 01:39:18,400 Speaker 13: share with all of you that he had a wonderful 1839 01:39:18,439 --> 01:39:22,719 Speaker 13: meeting with King Abdullah of Jordan yesterday. They discussed many things, 1840 01:39:22,760 --> 01:39:25,840 Speaker 13: including the Gaza Strip in its future. At great length, 1841 01:39:26,120 --> 01:39:29,360 Speaker 13: the King would much prefer that the Palestinians stay in place, 1842 01:39:29,640 --> 01:39:32,120 Speaker 13: with the additional land to be used for new development, 1843 01:39:32,200 --> 01:39:36,160 Speaker 13: which would greatly create jobs at levels never seen before. 1844 01:39:36,640 --> 01:39:38,880 Speaker 13: But the President feels it would be much better and 1845 01:39:38,960 --> 01:39:43,320 Speaker 13: more majestic if these Palestinians could be moved to safer areas. 1846 01:39:43,720 --> 01:39:46,000 Speaker 13: I would just add to that that the President remains 1847 01:39:46,000 --> 01:39:50,000 Speaker 13: wholeheartedly committed to seeing peace in the Middle East, and 1848 01:39:50,200 --> 01:39:52,960 Speaker 13: our Arab partners in the region have been tasked with 1849 01:39:53,040 --> 01:39:55,919 Speaker 13: coming up with a peace plan to present to the President. 1850 01:39:56,200 --> 01:39:59,479 Speaker 13: That is ongoing. King Abdullah mentioned that yesterday he also 1851 01:39:59,560 --> 01:40:03,240 Speaker 13: committed to accepting two thousand and six children from the 1852 01:40:03,240 --> 01:40:06,639 Speaker 13: Gaza Strip, with which the President called a beautiful gesture. 1853 01:40:06,720 --> 01:40:10,000 Speaker 13: So the administration continues to work with our Arab partners 1854 01:40:10,000 --> 01:40:13,000 Speaker 13: in the region. We stand closely with our ally Israel, 1855 01:40:13,560 --> 01:40:17,040 Speaker 13: and the President has presented this big, new, bold idea 1856 01:40:17,160 --> 01:40:19,280 Speaker 13: to secure peace in the Middle East and he is 1857 01:40:19,320 --> 01:40:21,360 Speaker 13: not going to waver from that, and we look forward 1858 01:40:21,400 --> 01:40:24,200 Speaker 13: to seeing that goal of this administration achieved as well. 1859 01:40:24,400 --> 01:40:26,680 Speaker 13: Thank you very much everybody, and we'll see you very soon. 1860 01:40:26,760 --> 01:40:27,559 Speaker 13: Let's have a great day. 1861 01:40:27,600 --> 01:40:30,480 Speaker 32: Thank you, thank you. 1862 01:40:30,479 --> 01:40:33,280 Speaker 17: You've been listening to White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt 1863 01:40:33,280 --> 01:40:35,800 Speaker 17: speaking there at the White House. Let's get you back 1864 01:40:35,800 --> 01:40:37,719 Speaker 17: to Charlie kirkshow now this. 1865 01:40:37,680 --> 01:40:40,800 Speaker 2: Has been a live special report. We now join our 1866 01:40:40,840 --> 01:40:44,800 Speaker 2: programming already in progress against DOGE. So when you think 1867 01:40:44,840 --> 01:40:47,960 Speaker 2: of okay, we want Department of Government efficiency, who could 1868 01:40:48,000 --> 01:40:53,040 Speaker 2: possibly against it? This is who is against it? What 1869 01:40:53,160 --> 01:40:57,200 Speaker 2: exactly do these people do all day long? Scream into 1870 01:40:57,200 --> 01:41:02,840 Speaker 2: a microphone against Elon Musk singing old slave hymns. Yes, 1871 01:41:02,960 --> 01:41:09,920 Speaker 2: they are comparing cutting government waste to slavery. I know 1872 01:41:10,080 --> 01:41:12,719 Speaker 2: there's one more. We just gotta kind of it gets 1873 01:41:12,800 --> 01:41:21,880 Speaker 2: it just ends perfectly, just right right on key play 1874 01:41:21,880 --> 01:41:24,600 Speaker 2: cut one thirty five. Don't take that. 1875 01:41:24,880 --> 01:41:26,160 Speaker 5: Government by. 1876 01:41:28,360 --> 01:41:32,519 Speaker 2: Trump sides, workers heaving got a. 1877 01:41:32,640 --> 01:41:35,600 Speaker 34: Chance unless three organized? 1878 01:41:35,880 --> 01:41:37,240 Speaker 2: No shot? 1879 01:41:37,479 --> 01:41:37,960 Speaker 7: Are you. 1880 01:41:39,720 --> 01:41:46,559 Speaker 2: Which side are you? It's White Whitney Houston. 1881 01:41:47,200 --> 01:41:47,800 Speaker 5: That's what it is. 1882 01:41:48,160 --> 01:41:52,280 Speaker 2: She's going right after. Look, the Democrat Party is flailing 1883 01:41:52,320 --> 01:41:52,720 Speaker 2: right now. 1884 01:41:53,800 --> 01:41:54,080 Speaker 5: They are. 1885 01:41:54,120 --> 01:41:56,920 Speaker 2: They are flailing. Everything about the Democrat Party is off key, 1886 01:41:56,960 --> 01:41:59,360 Speaker 2: from their singing, from what they're talking about, from the 1887 01:41:59,439 --> 01:42:01,560 Speaker 2: essence of who they are. I mean, this is the 1888 01:42:01,600 --> 01:42:06,720 Speaker 2: threat to democracy. Dylan Mulvaney insists play a cut ninety five. 1889 01:42:08,200 --> 01:42:11,280 Speaker 30: We are three weeks into the second Trump presidency, three 1890 01:42:11,360 --> 01:42:14,120 Speaker 30: weeks and tonight there are warnings that the US is 1891 01:42:14,200 --> 01:42:18,000 Speaker 30: dangerously close to a constitutional crisis institution. That is a 1892 01:42:18,040 --> 01:42:21,480 Speaker 30: constitutional crisis, that is a crisis for our democracy. 1893 01:42:21,600 --> 01:42:24,960 Speaker 4: We've got our toes right on the edge of a 1894 01:42:25,000 --> 01:42:27,040 Speaker 4: constitutional crisis here. 1895 01:42:26,880 --> 01:42:30,479 Speaker 22: And what we are witnessing is a constitutional crisis. To 1896 01:42:30,560 --> 01:42:33,640 Speaker 22: defy court orders brings about a constitutional crisis. 1897 01:42:33,960 --> 01:42:37,280 Speaker 9: We can move from a constitutional crisis to a constitutional collapse. 1898 01:42:41,600 --> 01:42:43,360 Speaker 2: These are the same guys as that climate change is 1899 01:42:43,360 --> 01:42:45,960 Speaker 2: going to kill everybody. You need every single possible shot 1900 01:42:46,040 --> 01:42:49,680 Speaker 2: during COVID. I mean, it is like every possible apocalyptic 1901 01:42:49,720 --> 01:42:55,479 Speaker 2: thing that they can engage. The constitutional collapse. Being a 1902 01:42:55,520 --> 01:43:00,759 Speaker 2: liberal is just so insanely uncool right now. Remarkable compared 1903 01:43:00,760 --> 01:43:02,760 Speaker 2: to twenty two thousand and eight, where all the cool 1904 01:43:02,800 --> 01:43:06,439 Speaker 2: kids were Democrats and Obama people and then eventually Bernie people. 1905 01:43:06,479 --> 01:43:08,720 Speaker 2: It's just you just lived on the left. You just 1906 01:43:08,760 --> 01:43:10,680 Speaker 2: think of what it means to be a Democrat. Now 1907 01:43:10,720 --> 01:43:19,360 Speaker 2: you're just a shrill hall monitor screaming other people about democracy. 1908 01:43:19,000 --> 01:43:23,639 Speaker 2: They have spent down their cultural bank account, their cultural 1909 01:43:23,720 --> 01:43:29,040 Speaker 2: Cachet has been totally squandered. But whose side are you on? 1910 01:43:29,840 --> 01:43:32,760 Speaker 2: I tell you I'm on the side of not that 1911 01:43:32,760 --> 01:43:35,960 Speaker 2: that's who side, whatever whatever their politics are, I'm on 1912 01:43:36,040 --> 01:43:56,600 Speaker 2: the opposite.
