00:00:00.000
attorney for the Southern District of New York has resigned. That's according to a senior news
00:00:05.120
official speaking to NBC News. There is a new letter. We have obtained the letter that was
00:00:12.220
sent today by Bove after the acting U.S. attorney, Ms. Sassoon, resigned. Let me share that with all
00:00:20.920
of you. So this is Emile Bove writing a letter that was hand-delivered to Danielle Sassoon this
00:00:27.240
afternoon. Quote, Ms. Sassoon, in response to your refusal to comply with my instruction,
00:00:32.540
that's the earlier letter Chris and Mimi are talking about, to dismiss the prosecution of
00:00:37.460
Mayor Eric Adams, I write to notify you of the following. First, your resignation is accepted.
00:00:43.060
This decision is based on your choice to continue pursuing a politically motivated prosecution
00:00:47.860
despite an expressed instruction to dismiss the case. You lost sight of the oath you took when
00:00:53.520
you started at the department by suggesting that you retained discretion to interpret the
00:00:57.640
constitution in a manner inconsistent with the policies of a democratically elected president
00:01:02.640
and Senate-confirmed attorney general. Second, you indicated that the prosecution team is aware of
00:01:08.960
your communications with the Justice Department and is supportive of your approach and is unwilling
00:01:13.560
to comply with the order to dismiss the case. Accordingly, the AUSA is principally responsible for
00:01:19.020
this case are being placed on off-duty administrative leave pending investigations by the Office of
00:01:24.840
the Attorney General and the Office of Professional Responsibility, both of which will also evaluate your
00:01:30.600
conduct. At the conclusion of these investigations, the Attorney General will determine whether
00:01:34.900
termination or some other action is appropriate. Andrew Weissman, is that a threat of prosecution?
00:01:41.020
Well, it's certainly a threat of firing of potential civil and, I guess, potentially criminal cases.
00:01:53.180
You know, when I've been thinking about what is the sort of upshot, what's the ramification?
00:01:57.960
This is one where the employees who are who may suffer these these adverse employment actions and
00:02:06.220
Emil Bovet goes out of his way to say, this is not an Emil, this is not an adverse employment action,
00:02:12.040
when, of course, it is. It's another sort of false denial. This is going to end up in a court.
00:02:18.820
This is where I just don't know that they're playing chess and thinking about what's going to happen.
00:02:26.200
The palpably thin and fallacious letters that we're seeing out of Emil Bovet are going to be challenged.
00:02:33.540
The ones that have been given to the FBI, those are going to be subject to litigation. The things
00:02:39.120
that he's doing now with the SDNY and with the public integrity section, those are going to be
00:02:45.460
subject to litigation. This is the kind of thing where it's going to tie them up because they're
00:02:50.860
going to have to put meat on the bones on these allegations that are just false. I mean, it's really
00:03:00.020
sort of an interesting thing that they are not deft in the way that they're doing this because
00:03:05.400
there will be litigation. And if it's not brought by the department, it's going to be brought by the
00:03:10.060
employees saying what you did here is illegal. You know, we again, we can go back to Trump 1.0.
00:03:17.360
We saw Andy McCabe bring his case and win. We saw Pete Strzok bring his case and win.
00:03:23.600
We saw Lisa Page bring her case and win. And so here, when you're trying to do these sort of
00:03:29.940
mass terminations and mass employment actions, you are going to see a host of litigation where
00:03:37.780
these people in the departments, and Emil Bovet being the top one, are going to have to stand up
00:03:44.140
and under oath justify what they're doing. And I do not think it's going to stand up. So this is,
00:03:50.500
I think, you know, it's worth thinking about where this is going to go and how much I think this is
00:03:57.760
going to end up sort of biting them later in the day when courts get their hands on this and they're
00:04:04.760
not able to just take a unilateral action because we do see that the courts are also standing up
00:04:11.440
to what they have determined to be illegal and improper activity by the Trump administration.
00:04:26.760
Pray for our enemies because we're going medieval on these people.
00:04:32.000
I got a free shot. All these networks lying about the people, the people have had a belly full of it.
00:04:38.220
I know you don't like hearing that. I know you've tried to do everything in the world to stop that,
00:04:41.340
but you're not going to stop it. It's going to happen.
00:04:43.320
And where do people like that go to share the big line? Mega media. I wish in my soul,
00:04:50.080
I wish that any of these people had a conscience. Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?
00:04:57.480
If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.
00:05:12.880
It's Thursday, 13 February, Year of Our Lord, 2025. So many, many, many stories. And of course,
00:05:19.480
we just don't chase stories. We try to get you the signal, not the noise. In the nation's capital,
00:05:24.620
and particularly around President Trump and dropping, throwing the thunderbolts on the days of thunder.
00:05:29.520
Sure. This one may be, well, we'll get to the Bobby Kennedy. We've got all of it, plus a judge
00:05:35.940
trying to reverse. And the federal court judges are coming in and, you know, in this first wave,
00:05:42.200
trying to slow things down, give temporary stays. Local judges trying to give them for the nation,
00:05:47.160
all that. Terry Schilling will join us. Here, what's so important, and we're going to go back and
00:05:52.740
forth. I think the, are they starting already in the, we have, let's go, let's go ahead and go to
00:05:58.580
Trump and Modi right now. We're going to cut to the East Room of the White House. Let's go ahead
00:06:02.000
and go. I firmly believe that every person in India respects your sentiments. Thank you.
00:06:06.120
Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you. Any questions, please? Yes, President. You are, you know,
00:06:10.680
you are both very popular leaders in your respective countries. You have spoken about a common sense
00:06:16.140
diplomatic doctrine. So what's a Trump-Modi doctrine that you should expect from the media today
00:06:21.820
who make up our words better than safety? Well, I think more than anything else will be the unity.
00:06:28.320
We have great unity. We have great friendship, he and I and our countries. And I think it's only
00:06:33.760
going to get closer. But it's very important that we remain united as countries. We are,
00:06:39.280
we're friends and we're going to stay that way.
00:06:42.000
President Trump, how are you going to fight China if you're going to be tough with India on trade?
00:06:48.180
How are you going to beat China then? We're in very good shape to beat anybody we want.
00:06:54.260
But we're not looking to beat anybody. We're looking to do a really good job. We've done
00:06:58.700
a fantastic job for the American people. We had a great four years and we were interrupted
00:07:03.700
by a terrible administration. Absolutely terrible. They didn't know what they were doing. And now
00:07:09.280
we're putting it back together. And I think it's going to end up being much stronger than it was before.
00:07:14.320
President Trump, first of all, congratulations for the fantastic 24 days of your presidency,
00:07:28.640
historic and unprecedented decisions that you made, transformational reforms.
00:07:34.040
I like her. I like her. I'm particularly impressed by the expose on USAID. And I would like you to share
00:07:44.680
with us if you think USAID had a role in election interference in the US in 2020 and Indian elections
00:07:54.200
in 2024. So it could have had a role. There were a lot of bad things that happened in 2020.
00:08:01.200
I think bad things happened in 2024, but it was too big to rig. We won by a tremendous margin.
00:08:09.920
We won every swing state. We won the popular vote by millions of votes. So it was it was too big to rig.
00:08:17.360
But yeah, I think they probably tried. We're looking to go to a system now much different where one day
00:08:23.840
voting voter ID and just we have to do that. And paper ballots. We want paper ballots.
00:08:32.240
And when they do that, we're going to clean it up very, very well. But we had a great 2016. We had a
00:08:38.720
much better 2020 election. But bad things happened. And we had the best of all. We had, they say,
00:08:45.920
the most consequential in history. 129 years, most consequential. So it was a great election.
00:08:53.520
And it gives me a chance to work again with the Prime Minister and India. We're going to be,
00:08:59.920
we're going to have a great relationship together.
00:09:01.600
Do you see India playing a role in your plan to broker a peace in Ukraine? And if I could ask you
00:09:19.600
about a development in your hometown today, the U.S. Attorney has resigned over the DOJ's request to
00:09:25.680
drop the case into Eric Adams. Did you personally request the Justice Department to drop that case?
00:09:31.040
No, I didn't. I know nothing about it. I did not. I think that just to answer your other question,
00:09:40.000
we're just going to get along well. We're going to get along with all countries. We're going to do very
00:09:44.240
well. We're going to be doing, I think, record business, record numbers. And we're going to work
00:09:50.400
with India. Also, we have some very big trade deals to announce in the very near future.
00:10:12.800
And Mr. President, what we would like to say about the Bangladesh issue, because we saw
00:10:31.380
and it is evident that how the deep state of United States was involved in regime change
00:10:36.460
during the Biden administration, then Mohammed Yunus made, Junior Soros also.
00:10:41.680
So what is your point of view about the Bangladesh?
00:10:44.680
President Soros, and what is the role that the deep state played in the situation in Bangladesh?
00:10:50.920
It was — this is something that the Prime Minister has been working on for a long time
00:10:55.860
and has been worked on for hundreds of years, frankly.
00:11:00.240
But I will leave Bangladesh to the Prime Minister.
00:13:07.540
We had a very good phone call yesterday with President Putin.
00:13:17.020
And I think we went a long way toward getting a solution to the horrible war
00:13:20.660
where so many people are being killed, especially soldiers on the battlefield.
00:13:26.140
At least a million and a half soldiers have been killed on a ridiculous war.
00:13:30.880
That would have never happened if I were President.
00:13:32.780
But we've got a long way to, I think we've got a long way to solving it.
00:13:42.420
And then next week there's a meeting in Saudi Arabia,
00:13:45.260
not with myself or President Putin, but with top officials.
00:13:54.320
That war is a horrible war. It's a vicious, bloody war.
00:13:58.460
To your other question, that U.S. attorney was actually fired.
00:14:02.780
I don't know if he or she resigned, but that U.S. attorney was fired.
00:14:09.560
Mr. President, what is the role that you expect India to play?
00:14:14.280
What is the role that you expect India to play?
00:14:20.740
and in your broader vision for peace in the Middle East.
00:14:24.000
Well, I think we're doing very well in our competition with everybody.
00:14:28.560
I think you're going to see a nation that really is going forward at a very rapid pace.
00:14:37.940
And we announced some very big elements today of success.
00:14:44.600
Reciprocal tariffs so that if somebody charges us, we charge them the same amount,
00:14:50.540
which has never been done in our country before.
00:14:53.480
We've always been taken advantage of by other countries,
00:15:04.480
We've been doing the last, they say the last three weeks was among the best three weeks ever
00:15:14.820
And when you see what we've been able to do in three weeks, people are really amazed.
00:15:23.100
But I just want to thank everybody for being here.
00:15:28.240
We're going to make some wonderful trade deals for India and for the U.S.
00:16:09.760
I gave, I told you that was going to be in the East Room
00:16:12.560
because I thought they were close to being on schedule.
00:16:14.760
The East Room, I believe, check with Brian Glenn.
00:16:18.560
I think they're doing a more formal press conference.
00:16:28.900
It's President Trump with a head of state or another dignitary of, you know, state level.
00:16:34.480
What happens, you see, we've shown it outside the West Wing entrance.
00:16:40.400
The color guard comes out to kind of a guard of honor for the dignitary given by the President of the United States.
00:16:49.660
The detail will roll up, you know, in the SUVs and the big security cars.
00:16:59.480
President Trump will greet the individual at that entrance to the West Wing.
00:17:06.120
It's a very small kind of foyer that's right there with a couple of couches.
00:17:13.340
They'll talk and they'll walk right past the Roosevelt Room, the historic Roosevelt Room that's right there,
00:17:21.020
And in the Oval Office, they will then spend a few minutes with each other catching up, talking.
00:17:26.640
And then President Trump always wants to let the press in for press avail.
00:17:31.120
And you saw a lot of journalists, and you heard accents from the disembodied voices ask the questions,
00:17:39.320
And President Trump always likes to have the local journalists and the people that cover in the press poll
00:17:45.820
for the dignitary, in this case Modi of India, to ask questions and be there for the photography.
00:17:53.620
If we have the – we've got – Breaking 911 has really an incredible photo from the side.
00:18:02.460
Because right there you're seeing the camera pointed towards the fireplace,
00:18:06.860
pointed towards where the president always sits in his chair,
00:18:15.340
But 911 has this incredible – from a side angle, so you can see how crammed –
00:18:20.040
the Oval Office is not that big, but you see how many photographers and journalists crammed in there.
00:18:27.680
The White House has been turned into an action center.
00:18:31.040
It's essentially the field headquarters of President Trump.
00:18:36.300
Like, Washington had his field headquarters in Cambridge.
00:18:39.200
Then he had it in, you know, outside of New York.
00:18:42.660
And then he had it in, you know, south of the river, Delaware River.
00:18:47.800
He always put his, you know, field headquarters in Morristown or other places.
00:18:51.060
That – Trump's field headquarters is the White House.
00:18:54.760
As he's on a full-on assault against the administrative and deep state.
00:18:58.780
Now, during these press avails, the president will – and he normally likes you to kind of stick on the subject
00:19:06.460
So he likes the questions that come in and, hey, tell me how it's going.
00:19:10.460
And President Trump right there, very, you know, out there, very aggressive, very magnanimous.
00:19:22.760
Trump and Abe and Modi, these are nationalists that see the world through the lens of their country.
00:19:32.360
And although President Trump is not just a global leader, he is the global leader.
00:19:39.920
These men look at the world through the prism of what is best for their nation and what is best for their countrymen.
00:19:47.600
And that's why you can tell President Trump does not have that rapport with someone like Macron.
00:19:51.300
He doesn't have that rapport with something like Governor Trudeau – excuse me, Trudeau of Canada.
00:20:09.880
You know, he didn't have it to the – I even forget the guy's name, the socialist president of France when we were there.
00:20:16.740
Not just chemistry, but not even the same framework.
00:20:24.060
And what I think he respects about Modi is Modi's tough.
00:20:34.300
Doesn't hold against somebody, particularly when they're fighting for their people.
00:20:40.020
Also, India is the linchpin of the Indo-Pacific strategy and the ability to contain the Chinese Communist Party and ultimately to tee it up so Lao Bajin can take down the Chinese Communist Party.
00:20:55.040
Since the elites in this country forced Russia into the hands of the Chinese Communist Party and the worst geostrategic move since the Bolsheviks allowed Nixon to carve off Mao Zedong and the Chinese Communist against them in the early 1970s.
00:21:19.400
He's very attuned to the fact that Modi's important.
00:21:21.300
Modi's the largest representative of a democracy.
00:21:25.040
I think it's, what, 800 million people voting in.
00:21:31.860
Modi's strong at home, although he has lost some regional elections and some interim.
00:21:36.300
He's not as strong as maybe he could have been.
00:21:38.240
Once again, people will tell you, it's because they eased up.
00:21:51.600
We love showing you the bilats because you get to see pure Trump right there.
00:21:55.620
These things inside the Oval Office, you have to understand how rare this is.
00:22:02.680
In FDR, it was so big just to have the fireside chats.
00:22:05.400
And every now and again, you have very staged, very stylized, you know, these, what's so kind of kabuki theater, what the press does.
00:22:18.780
President Trump, and it shows you his confidence, and his confidence builds every day.
00:22:22.760
He's now, when he signs an executive order or he has a bilat, he's always having the media in there.
00:22:33.480
One of the questions is, well, we started today.
00:22:35.400
The Southern District of New York and the situation with Eric Adams.
00:22:40.400
And this gets to be the warning I gave outside the state Supreme Court the other day when I walked to the mics and I warned President Trump's administration that in Manhattan, it's a rigged game up there.
00:23:10.460
Anybody that's ever had a chance, not just to visit, but to live there, you realize the confidence you get when you get to New York and you're able to kind of figure your way out.
00:23:20.000
New York is incredibly empowering when you kind of learn, you break the code of how you're supposed to do it, how you can do it, particularly as a young person.
00:23:30.040
But it's gotten very radicalized and they have a rigged system up there with a source backed prosecutor, Alvin Bragg, a attorney general, Tish James.
00:23:40.040
You have a compliant press or left wing media and you have a jury pool.
00:23:45.060
You have these corrupt judges and you have a jury pool of these radicals who get more radical and more.
00:23:52.060
And they realize that the longer they're out of power, that's kind of what I call the Upper West Side crowd that can perform grand juries and juries.
00:24:02.380
These are dangerous people because they're they're legal gangsters.
00:24:08.920
And I said and Terry Schilling is going to be on.
00:24:10.700
There is another injunction or stay today, but we want a big one on the on President Trump offering the buyouts.
00:24:18.000
And I've said at the federal level, yes, they're going to slow you down.
00:24:30.020
Because I think what President Trump's doing, everything you see, everything I can tell, and I think we're pretty close to it, looks like it's constitutional separation of powers is what the executive is supposed to do.
00:24:42.480
This is why Pam Bondi, I think, responding to that, or at least taking into consideration in this whole thing about sanctuary cities, put a shot across their bow with telling with they filed against against Bragg and Tish James, big Tish James.
00:25:00.020
That was at the state level for, that was the Justice Department coming after him.
00:25:09.340
Eric Adams, the charges were going to be dropped by Southern District.
00:25:12.080
Eric Adams was, and I don't know, I don't think there's any quid pro quo.
00:25:19.040
I'm not in the loop on that, but I don't know any.
00:25:21.000
But Eric Adams is going to look like, going to work with people on making sure the sanctuary city element is not there because New York City is such a mess.
00:25:29.100
And I believe the Southern District of New York, the assistant U.S. attorney just said, no, I'm not going to do what I'm going to do on Eric Adams.
00:25:39.560
And Emil Bovey, who's become a hero in this, fired her.
00:25:43.760
Said, you've already tendered your resignation letter because everybody has to when a president comes in.
00:25:55.460
Because they realize Trump's not playing by the old rules.
00:26:10.400
We're fighting for our country, and we're going to fight.
00:26:12.640
And this goes back to the people that, you know, partying on Inauguration Day.
00:26:20.660
Of all the hard days you've had, and it come back, you ain't seen nothing yet.
00:26:31.820
They don't care that President Trump's in the White House.
00:26:34.040
They don't care if Elon Musk is the richest guy in the world.
00:26:37.820
They don't care what Stephen Miller has to say or Susie Wiles has to say or Howard Lutnick has to say.
00:26:57.700
Every day is going to be a fight, and there's different parts of this fight, as you know, different verticals.
00:27:04.080
The two central, you know, I said from the beginning, let's look at the three big things.
00:27:07.720
Number one is ending the kinetic part of the Third World War.
00:27:13.400
Pete Hegseth said what is obvious, and it's time to get on with it.
00:27:19.300
We're not going to be part of any security guarantee.
00:27:22.300
And the borders are going to go back to 2014 at the minimum.
00:27:26.660
They're saying, oh, he's giving up huge negotiating leverage.
00:27:38.480
And they're shredding Pete on ending the kinetic part of the Third World War.
00:27:46.740
I'm not so sure that high noon is still the watchword.
00:27:55.400
But President Trump's trying to stop that, and they're all over him every second of the day.
00:27:59.180
And he just says, hey, look, I had an hour and a half.
00:28:12.060
I think they're going to meet in Russia, Moscow.
00:28:18.300
You think MSNBC, Rachel Maddow, you think she'll be catatonic.
00:29:02.540
It's going to need a little more cash to get some logistics and some organization.
00:29:06.220
But you can tell it's a stiff fight from the courts, a stiff fight from the people that don't want this to happen.
00:29:11.820
Not the NGOs, but the embeds, people inside the system.
00:29:14.340
Then you've got the mother of all debt problems.
00:29:20.080
You've got the thing in the middle, which is, I say, hey, it's the existential threat.
00:29:26.340
And today we're kind of having a performative, perfunctory, you know, budget meeting.
00:29:31.640
To take care of a budget that's kind of a fantasy.
00:29:34.000
That has no meaning when you talk about cash in or cash out.
00:29:38.100

Have you seen the news from economists forecasting a depression?
00:30:08.800
We're in a perfect storm as Social Security and Medicare hit a breaking point with the
00:30:20.140

You see it here in the war room, and we all know it.
00:32:07.060

00:32:45.920
Less money, the solvency has now been expedited because the priorities in the IRA were green energy subsidies.
00:32:59.220
With that, I ask Mr. Ammo, or I give Mr. Ammo the last minute to close.
00:33:07.080
You have my word that Congressional Democrats will always fight for policies that protect Medicare benefits and extend its solvency.
00:33:16.760
And I am hopeful that the commitment from my colleagues on the other side is also steadfast.
00:33:26.260
And there's nothing unnecessary about making that commitment time and time again because our seniors deserve it.
00:33:31.900
In the Inflation Reduction Act, we saw historic negotiations of prescription drug prices, lowering the cost for seniors of vital drugs, capping the cost of out-of-pocket expenses a year.
00:33:51.160
What we're cutting into and dipping in and out of is the budget, the budget hearing.
00:33:56.600
And Jody Arenton, somebody just got to explain to me how this has any real cuts at all and not out-year cuts, even when they talk programmatically.
00:34:04.080
It doesn't mean anything because they don't stick to them.
00:34:07.480
I want to know just basically—somebody just riddled me this.
00:34:12.660
Technically, we are at the debt ceiling, so we can't borrow any more money.
00:34:20.020
What we are doing is that Scott Besant is under what's called emergency measures, is managing cash flow in what we call the waterfall.
00:34:31.160
So the cash comes in and all the interest on the securities or securities are rolled or paid off, as they are.
00:34:41.780
And there's clearly a little runway there because they seem to be managing fine.
00:34:52.640
Consider 14 March like 30 September, when this whole fiasco started.
00:34:57.180
At midnight, you don't have the ability, the technical ability, to allow any more funding of the United States government, the federal government.
00:35:09.060
It can only be extended by what's called a continued resolution that continues on what had happened before September 30th because we never got the appropriations bill.
00:35:19.340
Remember the single-subject appropriations bill we followed those fights over?
00:35:22.240
And why a single-subject appropriations bill is fine?
00:35:25.920
Because that is theoretically where happens what DOGE is doing now.
00:35:31.240
It allows a full vetting line by line in these various subcommittees, the committees of jurisdiction, on different aspects of the budget.
00:35:42.360
You know, if it's the Pentagon, it's armed services.
00:35:53.880
If it's things related to farm programs, it's the Agriculture Committee.
00:35:59.700
And in these committees, supposedly, as the budget is put together, this gets argued out.
00:36:06.960
And in the appropriations process, you argue it, you go through it.
00:36:15.080
And like USAID, the reason these things are not shocking to us is because Eli Crane and Andy Biggs and Matt Gaetz and Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert,
00:36:25.020
and I could go on and on and on, Freedom Caucus members and non-Freedom Caucus members.
00:36:28.560
went through this and fought this at the subcommittee level, the committee level, and you have arguments and votes.
00:36:43.440
And what happened is that leadership always voted them down, telling them to shut up.
00:36:47.080
And they got to a little bit of it, but clearly not to what DOGE is doing.
00:36:51.180
So to be clear, folks, as I said now, since we kicked the kid down the road before Christmas on 14 December, around 15 December,
00:37:05.280
gave us 90 days, 90 days into Trump's administration so President Trump could have his budget and have his numbers.
00:37:12.920
Because they've been running around on reconciliation, which is a totally different process, believe it or not,
00:37:21.180
and this will be tied to, and they're going to do two reconciliations, and look, they were saying one, one, one.
00:37:26.980
We said it was not going to be one. It was never going to be one.
00:37:29.540
It's too big, too complicated, and it's not going to come.
00:37:31.920
You wouldn't get one bill out until July or August, and they're going to try to bleed Trump out by then.
00:37:40.620
And then it wouldn't be, they go on break, they wouldn't be debated and negotiated and voted on in October or November.
00:37:47.540
And the border and other aspects can't wait that long.
00:37:49.700
But in looking at the reconciliations, in spending time with the reconciliations,
00:37:55.640
they took their eye off the ball, maybe purposely.
00:38:03.060
The response I get is all kind of gobbledygook, right?
00:38:12.480
I will hold this, my thoughts on this, for a moment.
00:38:16.520
I'm going to go to the East Room and Brian Glenn.
00:38:19.600
Right now, we're hurtling down towards, we're hurtling down towards a situation.
00:38:25.840
We're going to approve a continuing resolution.
00:38:29.380
Biden's budget, Biden's numbers, $2 trillion deficit, and not one penny of doge in there is going to be cut.
00:38:35.780
In fact, you're going to pay for all the waste, fraud, abuse that they've identified.
00:38:42.400
Let's go to the East Room, Real America's voice, man on the spot in the White House, Brian Glenn.
00:38:53.100
Yes, we are in the East Room and waiting for Modi and President Trump to make their way in here.
00:39:00.140
I can imagine, Steve, that a lot of the conversation today is based around tariffs.
00:39:05.520
That seems to be the dominating news headline today.
00:39:10.120
President Trump signing that reciprocal tariff act executive order earlier today.
00:39:17.220
And really kind of laying out the groundwork for additional revenue for this country.
00:39:22.640
And I watched Peter Navarro earlier on CNN absolutely give an economics class on the purpose of these tariffs
00:39:31.320
and what this really means to U.S. revenue and bringing manufacturing back to this country.
00:39:38.000
I asked President Trump in the Oval Office specifically about the steel tariffs and the aluminum
00:39:44.840
and what it means to the state of Pennsylvania and what it means to them bringing manufacturing back, jobs back, production back.
00:39:54.800
And President Trump, Steve, was very open and said, here's the deal.
00:39:59.000
Make your product here in the U.S. and you don't pay the tariffs.
00:40:05.300
But we'll also see kind of the kickback as far as the media really scrutinizing these tariffs
00:40:12.140
and actually putting a lot of fear in the consumer that essentially that would raise prices.
00:40:27.000
He's saying, look, I look at this as external revenue to help pay for this.
00:40:31.240
And don't look at them as tariffs because this is a premium market.
00:40:34.620
When you get here, you're going to have to pay a premium, like getting a skybox at a ball game
00:40:42.300
However, if you make it here, you don't pay a tariff.
00:40:50.320
How do you think Hamilton came up with the American system?
00:40:59.740
Brian, repeat how simple it is and how the media, particularly the business media, is
00:41:08.740
It was almost like they could clip that Oval Office executive order and just play that
00:41:14.080
for a high school economics class and go ahead and throw it in college as well.
00:41:18.360
Make your product here, and you don't pay a tariff.
00:41:21.840
If you're a country and you want to import your goods and you're going to charge us 2% on
00:41:31.040
He laid out several examples of countries absolutely charging us eight times as much as we charged
00:41:42.360
And he's going to also lay out future plans, which he said, in regards to automobile manufacturing
00:41:50.000
But, Steve, to your point, it's as simple as that.
00:41:52.800
And I don't know why so many House Democrats, Senate Democrats, the mainstream media doesn't
00:42:00.680
It seems like they are standing up more for foreign interests than they are standing up
00:42:10.600
No, Brian, I come to the same place you do about how can they...
00:42:15.280
I think they feel that Trump has stolen a march on them, and he's the guy about bringing jobs
00:42:19.620
So, even though it's for the good of the country, and quite frankly, good for what used to be
00:42:23.480
the Democratic base, which is now all MAGA, and votes for Trump, that they have to fight
00:42:28.460
And they take these bizarro theories on, oh, inflation's going to come back, it's going
00:42:38.500
Trump always puts the economic benefit of our country and our citizens first, Brian.
00:42:46.360
And also, I asked him specifically on the pharmaceutical industry.
00:42:50.160
If people knew how much pharmaceuticals, how much medicine that we need every day is manufactured
00:42:56.320
in China, that becomes a national security issue.
00:43:00.140
He wants to bring drug manufacturers back to this country.
00:43:10.780
The way you do that is you've got to make it advantageous for companies to build and manufacture
00:43:16.300
Here in this country, tariffs is a good conversational starter.
00:43:24.600
Obviously, manufacturers in Pennsylvania love this.
00:43:28.900
They absolutely love the tariffs and what he's doing to protect U.S. steel.
00:43:38.940
You could see some temporarily consumer prices go up.
00:43:43.500
But in the long run, it's best for this country.
00:43:46.460
And it just takes a visionary like President Trump to put that forward.
00:43:54.860
So normally, when you have these bilats, they go into the Oval.
00:44:00.240
Then President Trump normally wants a press avail.
00:44:04.080
And Biden and other people, other presidents, normally just the photographers come in there.
00:44:12.200
He loves having local media, or in this case, Indian media, Indian media there to ask questions.
00:44:23.960
Then they spend more time together, which they're doing right now.
00:44:26.160
And there may be a little hot talking, particularly as they talk about tariffs,
00:44:33.480
And President Trump signed the tariffs of reciprocity today, reciprocal tariffs.
00:44:39.300
And a little bit of that shots at India, no doubt.
00:44:45.320
Then they come across from the West Wing through the portico, open right next to the Rose Garden,
00:44:55.200
Describe the East Room, Brian, where you are right now with the camera crew.
00:45:03.480
Austin, let's show everybody what he just spoke about.
00:45:08.360
Let's show the podium where Modi and President Trump will be standing.
00:45:11.360
Right now they're kind of doing an audio check.
00:45:13.320
They're making sure the cameras are positioned.
00:45:18.100
This is where a lot of the international media will sit.
00:45:23.260
They've got the headphones for the translation there as well in each seat.
00:45:30.880
They obviously can translate both languages that need be.
00:45:35.200
Let's go ahead and show a shot, Austin, if you could, through the double doors right there.
00:45:39.580
Actually, on the far door, go over to the left, Austin, where we've got some individuals just walked out.
00:45:45.340
That's actually where you're going to see the president and President Modi walk out there.
00:45:54.580
I know you've got a camera right next to you, but let's see what we can do.
00:45:57.860
There's a translation booth in the back of this press riser.
00:46:02.300
That is where officials from India will translate what President Trump says into their language
00:46:10.620
and then sent to, obviously, the ones here in this room and around the world.
00:46:14.700
Steve, this is an international, obviously, type of event, this magnitude.
00:46:20.100
And, of course, we have a press riser across on the other side.
00:46:25.760
We'll have continued coverage here in the East Room.
00:46:35.360
President Trump in Modi of India about to enter the East Room.
00:46:40.180
We'll be back in a moment for the press conference.
00:46:57.620

00:48:46.860
And this unit, Steve, will give you internet wherever you are in the country, whatever's going on.

00:50:37.100
And this deal is good for as long as we have stock.
00:50:39.900
And we're going to run out pretty quickly if the past is any indicator.
00:50:52.800
Grace and Moe, if you can put that up in the chat room so people can see it.
00:51:13.760
What we're here to do is give you access so that you understand, I don't know, the correlation of forces that are driving gold.
00:51:22.500
Everything from the deterioration of the purchasing power of the U.S. dollar.
00:51:32.920
We'll go between the East Room and the Budget Committee.
00:51:35.080
The pageantry of the East Room as a head of state, Modi of India, is here with President Trump.
00:51:47.020
So, every now and again, they, you know, they're at loggerheads, as you would anticipate, particularly among two countries that are as big a trading partner as the U.S. is with India.
00:51:57.260
India is also a key strategic partner in the whole situation to take down the Chinese Communist Party, the strategic, our strategic drive to contain the Chinese Communist Party on certain aspects of the Eurasian landmass.
00:52:15.780
They're going to have a presser in the East Room, the historic East Room.
00:52:18.700
And, you know, both individuals, President Trump and Modi, will make statements.
00:52:23.220
Modi will talk to a translator for most of it, I imagine.
00:52:25.820
Then, President Trump normally opens up to questions, and he likes those questions to be on the topic at hand, which is the head of state.
00:52:33.240
But the media, being the media, will always wander off it.
00:52:36.840

00:53:06.600
It's called Precious Metals, Purchasing Gold, Investing in Gold in the Age of Trump.
00:53:15.460
We're still waiting on the, and I think we're going to take a break at the top of the hour.
00:53:20.060
What this means is that Modi and Trump are engaged in a longer conversation.
00:53:27.980
Modi came a long way to, he came a long way to see President Trump.
00:53:35.420
I think it's still the biggest event President Trump's ever had.
00:53:38.520
If he, outside some of these massive rallies, the 100,000 people rallies and some of the rallies in Pennsylvania, some of these incredible rallies.
00:53:44.760
But for an indoor location, I think it was 57,000 people down in Houston.
00:53:49.160
And then President Trump, and this was in the beginning days of the pandemic, so it really didn't get the coverage that it should have gotten.
00:53:55.660
And President Trump went to India and they absolutely love him.
00:54:02.800
The Budget Committee is trying to get to, I understand they're going to vote it out tonight.
00:54:07.140
How many cuts, and the same with Steve, they're dealing with the fiscal 2026 budget, fine.
00:54:19.060
What they're talking about, the $1.5 trillion over 10 years, that's $150 billion a year.
00:54:23.880
Now, I realize this may be taken differently, but it's $150 billion a year.
00:54:31.680
And to back it up, if you got the CR on the 14th, we've got to fund the government going for it, or maybe not.
00:54:38.500
But I don't see them shutting down President Trump's government in his first 100 days.
00:54:41.680
It's, how can we possibly have a $2 trillion deficit?
00:54:50.380
They've had enough time to identify at least the waste, fraud, abuse in these different organizations.
