Bannon's War Room - Episode 4411： Criminality Of Zuckerberg And META; Trump Meets With Bukele

00:00:00.080 The world cheats us.

00:00:01.080 They've been cheating us for decades.

00:00:03.200 They cheat us with tariffs, higher tariffs, but more importantly, they cheat us with the

00:00:08.240 so-called non-tariff barriers.

00:00:10.240 It's the VAT taxes, the dumping, the currency manipulation, the technical barriers that

00:00:15.080 keep our autos out of Japan, the agricultural barriers that keep our pork out of Australia 0.89

00:00:20.040 or Europe.

00:00:21.040 They're doing that to the tune of $1.2 trillion of wealth a year that we transfer now abroad

00:00:28.280 and $18 trillion of wealth since we started running deficits.

00:00:32.600 You know how much $18 trillion of America that could buy?

00:00:36.000 So that's the problem we're grappling with.

00:00:38.580 So we have a strategy here where the president says we're going to charge them what they charge

00:00:45.480 us.

00:00:46.480 And the analytical issue is it's easy to calculate the tariff differential, but the non-tariff

00:00:52.600 barriers are so much higher.

00:00:54.080 So that's what we said, knowing full well, knowing full well that a lot of countries

00:00:59.240 would come right to us and want to bargain.

00:01:02.600 We've got 90 deals in 90 days possibly pending here.

00:01:07.180 And it was par for the course.

00:01:09.080 Actually, it was a birdie for President Trump to do exactly what he did, which was pause for

00:01:14.700 90 days.

00:01:15.700 And we're going to get this done for the American people.

00:01:18.020 I think that right now we are at a decision-making point and very close to a recession.

00:01:25.440 And I'm worried about something worse than a recession if this isn't handled well.

00:01:31.120 A recession is two negative quarters of GDP.

00:01:34.360 And whether it goes slightly there, we always have those things.

00:01:38.080 We have something that's much more profound.

00:01:40.480 We have a breaking down of the monetary order.

00:01:44.540 We are going to change the monetary order because we cannot spend the amounts of money.

00:01:49.360 So we have that problem.

00:01:50.600 And when we talk about the dollar and we talk about tariffs, we have that.

00:01:54.700 We are having profound changes in our domestic order, how ruling is existing.

00:02:01.060 And we're having profound changes in the world order.

00:02:04.640 Such times are very much like the 1930s.

00:02:07.340 I've studied history, and this repeats over and over again.

00:02:11.000 So if you take tariffs, if you take debt, if you take the rising power challenging the

00:02:16.440 existing power, if you take those factors and look at the factors, those changes in the

00:02:23.220 orders, the systems, are very, very disruptive.

00:02:26.740 How that's handled could produce something that is much worse than a recession.

00:02:30.880 We had really good news on the inflation front, both the producer price index, which is

00:02:35.900 wholesale prices, consumer price index, had the lowest print since fall of 2023.

00:02:42.060 Really good news.

00:02:43.080 And nobody expected that.

00:02:44.820 And the reason why that kind of thing's happening is because the Trump policies on other fronts,

00:02:49.360 the oil's down to $61 a barrel.

00:02:52.260 Okay.

00:02:52.500 So, but the other thing, and this is like, should have been in that little package you had at the

00:02:57.240 beginning, the Congress passed the resolution, the budget resolution, which lays the groundwork

00:03:04.720 for having the biggest, broadest tax cut in American history before August.

00:03:09.760 Now, what does that mean?

00:03:10.960 What does it mean for both recession and inflation?

00:03:14.080 It means that we're going to have a debt neutral tax cut financed by tariff revenues that's going

00:03:21.240 to stimulate growth.

00:03:22.420 It could be worth as much of a point and a half in terms of GDP growth.

00:03:26.520 At the same time, it's deflationary, not inflationary.

00:03:30.420 It's unlike the Biden fiscal measures, which were just pure debt driven.

00:03:35.480 So, there's really good news here.

00:03:38.000 And I predicted 50,000 on the Dow, predicted a broad-based S&P rally.

00:03:42.900 I don't know if you know this, Kristen, but it was seven AI stocks that pulled up the S&P

00:03:48.540 500 during the Biden years.

00:03:50.020 That's not growth.

00:03:50.820 President, can you talk a little bit about the semiconductor tariff that you posted on

00:03:54.380 TrueSocial today?

00:03:55.280 What is the timeline for that?

00:03:57.640 And I believe it's Jason Greer said the data, those will not be negotiable.

00:04:01.920 Once those tariffs are in place, they're non-negotiable.

00:04:04.260 Is that right?

00:04:04.720 But the tariffs will be in place in the non-distant future because, as you know, like we did with

00:04:10.760 steel, like we did with automobiles, like we did with aluminum, which are now fully on,

00:04:15.460 we'll be doing that with semiconductors, with chips, and numerous other things.

00:04:21.160 And that'll take place in the very near future.

00:04:24.280 And all the things...

00:04:24.840 And what we did is we want to uncomplicate it from a lot of companies because that's

00:04:28.960 really where it should be, ideally.

00:04:31.040 And we wanted to uncomplicate it from a lot of other companies because we want to

00:04:34.700 make our chips and semiconductors and other things in our country.

00:04:38.860 And I will tell you, another one is pharmaceuticals, drugs and pharmaceuticals.

00:04:43.620 We want to make our drugs in this country.

00:04:45.600 And by placing a tariff on the companies that are not in this country, they're going to move

00:04:52.080 into our country and we're going to have our drugs made in the United States so that in 0.96

00:04:56.360 case of war, in case of whatever, we're not relying on China and various other countries

00:05:01.960 to supply us with drugs, which is not a good idea.

00:05:05.480 And it'll happen very fast.

00:05:06.840 It'll all happen very fast.

00:05:08.000 You know what rate the semiconductor term is?

00:05:09.980 I'm going to be announcing it over the next week.

00:05:12.000 Well, as President Trump has said, he's dispatched his team, Scott Besson, Howard Lutnick,

00:05:18.240 Jameson Greer, to have conversations with these countries and to explain to them their egregious

00:05:24.320 trade abuses, how they've manipulated their currencies, how they have illegally subsidized

00:05:29.100 their industries and how they ballooned the trade deficit.

00:05:31.540 And that's going to lead to a bilateral process with each and every one of these countries.

00:05:35.840 And I'm not going to prejudge that result.

00:05:37.520 But the 90 day pause before the tariff rates snap back gives us an opportunity to have

00:05:42.700 that conversation with each of these countries and to deal with these long running, severe

00:05:47.980 and systemic abuses while at the same time, and very importantly, focusing all of our attention

00:05:53.440 and the attention of the entire international community on how China has distorted the entire

00:06:00.560 global trading system through decades of intellectual property theft, trademark theft,

00:06:07.180 copyright theft, industrial espionage, currency manipulation, illegal subsidization of critical

00:06:13.300 industries, targeted dumping to destroy core manufacturing capacity in other countries so

00:06:20.620 that they cannot protect and defend themselves in a time of national emergency.

00:06:23.900 These are state led policies from China that require redress.

00:06:28.340 And the only scandal is that it took so long for us to finally have a president and Donald

00:06:33.880 Trump who will protect and defend America from these abuses while every other president,

00:06:39.000 Democrat and Republican allowed China to plunder us to a degree that was so savage 0.96

00:06:45.480 and so total, it honestly eclipses the imagination.

00:06:49.180 Have you gotten calls from any of your former counterparts that are either allies or enemies

00:06:55.000 or others trying to understand what's going on? And I'm curious if you have what you tell them?

00:07:01.120 Well, I have had a few meetings. And the truth is, I honestly don't know what to tell them

00:07:09.440 because these are huge. I've said self-inflicted wound. To me, President Trump is taking a sledgehammer.

00:07:21.580 Not only that he's pounding our allies with this, but he's pounding the U.S. economy with

00:07:30.400 this sledgehammer. And I don't understand the rationale for the tariffs. Most economists would

00:07:38.820 say if you're if what you're trying to do is to reduce the trade deficit, imposing tariffs is not

00:07:45.940 going to be successful. And it's not the way to go about doing that. The best approach there would

00:07:52.160 be greater fiscal discipline, which we're not likely to see. And perhaps it's to bring back

00:08:00.620 American manufacturing. But I really think that's a that's a pipe dream and not something that

00:08:08.520 is likely to be accomplished. And we could even raise questions about whether or not in a broad based

00:08:15.700 way, that's a desirable goal. And it's really hard to predict where this is going. The the escalation

00:08:24.120 with China could have very significant global implications.

00:08:29.160 This is the primal scream of a dying regime. Pray for our enemies, because we're going medieval on

00:08:40.800 these people. I got a free shot. All these networks lying about the people, the people had a belly full

00:08:48.100 of it. I know you don't like hearing that. I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that,

00:08:51.940 but you're not going to stop it. It's going to happen. And where do people like that go to share

00:08:56.140 the big line? MAGA media. I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.

00:09:04.320 Ask yourself, what is my task? And what is my purpose? If that answer is to save my country,

00:09:11.280 this country will be saved. War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Vance.

00:09:17.680 It's Monday, 14 April, year of our Lord, 2025. There are decades in which nothing happens,

00:09:29.160 and then there are weeks in which decades happen. I think we're in another one of those weeks,

00:09:33.020 following last week and the week before. Ray Dalio kind of lays it out there. It is about the

00:09:38.700 global monetary order. That is, the roiling in this is two things. Massive overspending,

00:09:47.500 by the federal government, these massive deficits that we have to continue to finance, plus

00:09:51.480 the trade, the international global trading system, which President Trump, as Stephen Miller,

00:09:58.180 and Dr. Peter Navarro so eloquently lay out, is about a rigged system that the elites in this

00:10:04.380 country have basically sold out the nation to the Chinese Communist Party. And that has to be 0.83

00:10:09.060 redone. And it's going to be redone. And people are not going to back off this.

00:10:12.340 This is more, and if you want to hear the running dogs for the sociopathic overlords on Wall Street,

00:10:19.020 just go to, you just have to cut on mainstream media, MSNBC, read the New York Times, see the

00:10:25.320 Washington Post, see CNN about tariffs. Oh, they're going to raise prices, raise prices,

00:10:29.900 raise prices. Never talk about the hollowing out of this country. Let's go to, do I have a Caroline

00:10:36.600 Wren, who's broken a lot of news on this in the last 10 days from her White Lotus tour of Southeast

00:10:43.120 Asia, is now in Dubai. Caroline, breaking across the wire as we come, as you predicted, she is now

00:10:51.280 in Southeast Asia. His first stop is Vietnam. It should not be lost on people. The very first call

00:10:56.200 that President Trump took and set up a meeting with Scott Besson was, wait for it, Vietnam.

00:11:01.280 She's in Vietnam. It just came across the wire. I think Walter Bloomberg, that Twitter feed,

00:11:07.540 said they are in the process of signing 45 agreements, arrangements. We know the Vietnamese

00:11:13.600 want to do a deal with the United States. They're the very first one to call. What's your assessment?

00:11:19.780 Sure. Yeah, we, I've been tracking this now for a couple of weeks. President Xi and China seem to be

00:11:24.700 going all in on a regional strategy here. And he's, President Xi, they're going all in on Southeast

00:11:30.340 Asia. And today, in one of the public speeches he gave, he called on Southeast Asian countries,

00:11:36.480 and specifically their Vietnam, to join him in resisting against President Trump's, quote,

00:11:40.960 unilateralism and protectionism. And this is as President Xi is starting as what is a propaganda

00:11:46.400 tour, to attempt to present Beijing and the CCP as a more reliable ally and trading partner than

00:11:52.440 the United States. And the reality is that these countries, they have to, I mean, President Xi is

00:11:57.320 coming. They're your largest neighbor. They're a very scary neighbor, like Vietnam. And he goes off 1.00

00:12:02.660 next to Malaysia and then to Cambodia. They cannot say no. What they're saying privately, and I've been

00:12:07.700 in all of these countries over the last two weeks, is please, please, President Trump and the United

00:12:12.280 States, come in, save us, help us. We want to deal with the United States. We do not want to deal with

00:12:17.600 China. But we have to be mindful and aware of, like, the reality of these countries and what happens

00:12:22.660 with this. And the strategy here, I think, is that China is trying to insulate itself against Trump's

00:12:27.580 tariffs. And their best strategy to do that is with the neighbors in Southeast Asia. And that's

00:12:32.240 because, you know, Southeast Asia has become China's largest trading partner at 17 percent of

00:12:36.560 their exports versus only 14 percent to the United States. And so I think China sees this as critical

00:12:42.360 to shore up trade relations with Southeast Asia. And then that also is because they use these

00:12:47.180 Southeast Asia countries to escape Trump's tariffs. They manufacture these products in

00:12:52.020 China. Then they send them to get slapped with a made in Vietnam or a made in Cambodia stamp. 0.93

00:12:57.080 Then those products come to the United States. And so that is what Trump, that's why, you know,

00:13:01.720 Cambodia got a 49 percent tariff, Vietnam got 46 percent. It was high because China is using them

00:13:07.980 as pawns. And so now we have to reaffirm our, you know, our interest in the region.

00:13:13.200 The same thing, the same thing is with Mexico, the same thing you do in Mexico. That's why it's 0.95

00:13:18.260 much more than $500 billion, $600 billion. Hang on for one second. The East Asian countries,

00:13:24.220 President Trump already laid out the top five in Besson, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Vietnam,

00:13:29.120 and India. They've already had a coup. The Chinese Communist Party have led a coup with our allies in

00:13:35.160 South Korea to take out the conservative, the pro-Trump. Taiwan is under, you know, military exercises,

00:13:41.660 threaten an invasion. Vietnam, they're there today trying to crush Vietnam. Japan, they've infiltrated 0.99

00:13:47.220 Japan so badly that the Japanese reach out to us for help and to say, we're your ally, but the CCP's 0.87

00:13:54.600 all over us. And of course, we know Modi's standing tall and India says he's going to do a deal with

00:13:59.320 the United States. Today, El Salvador, because also the CCP is trying to flood and invade not just the 0.66

00:14:06.920 Caribbean, but Central America. This is why Hegseth went to Panama. And today, El Salvador

00:14:12.540 comes to the White House. We've got Frank Gaffney. We've got Mike Rogers just announced he's running

00:14:17.600 for the Senate. Caroline Wren's going to stick around. We're going to go to the White House

00:14:21.460 live next. Then back at 11 o'clock when the president of El Salvador shows up, the Supreme Court's got

00:14:28.460 something to say about President Trump being commander-in-chief of the United States

00:14:32.460 military in a time of war. Short commercial break. Johnny Kahn's going to take us out.

00:19:24.080 Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.

00:19:30.260 Okay.

00:19:32.980 The, let me get, okay, right there. That's a live shot of the, of the White House. Of course,

00:19:38.480 this big ruling last night, let me just get my glass on right there. There's the honor guard.

00:19:42.900 They'll be coming out. The president of El Salvador will be with the president running a few minutes

00:19:47.640 late. We're supposed to be here at 11. We do know that Brian Glenn, our own Brian Glenn, I think is

00:19:52.900 now going to be in the press pool, which is always great. Brian will definitely get a question in.

00:19:58.640 I think what's going to happen right now, it's supposed to be 11 o'clock, but the president of

00:20:02.860 El Salvador will come. President will meet him traditionally on the West Wing at that, at that

00:20:07.640 entrance. They'll go in. They're going to have a bilat for about 30 minutes and then supposed to have

00:20:11.600 lunch. There's the honor guard right now. Looks like he's getting in place.

00:20:14.280 Um, I believe they're going to do a press avail either in the Oval Office, or they're going to

00:20:20.640 have lunch in the cabinet room, which is right off the, um, right off the Oval Office. Um, he's

00:20:27.220 going to have a lunch and maybe he brings the cameras in then at some time, maybe not during our

00:20:32.180 show, uh, but hopefully, but maybe not, maybe, uh, later in Charlie's or Jack or not Jack's, maybe in

00:20:37.220 Charlie's, there will be a press avail. And obviously this is going to be very important given

00:20:41.480 the, um, the issue on the unitary executive, or if you want to call it article two powers,

00:20:49.000 particularly about being commander in chief. Uh, the Supreme court has weighed in over the weekend,

00:20:54.000 uh, and, uh, you know, want certain people to be returned. President Trump, I think is saying

00:20:58.840 right now, I'm not so sure they're complying with that immediately. I think there's up in the air

00:21:03.260 and some discussion of that, that'll maybe come up today. Stephen Miller gave a press avail to

00:21:08.160 this morning that he went, you know, uh, first order of magnitude off. And look at that beautiful

00:21:13.160 shot right there of the, uh, honor guard at the white house from our military services. Um,

00:21:19.740 you see, they come down, they're coming down from the gate now actually to the West wing. And of course

00:21:25.260 the various, uh, service members peel off with the, uh, with the state flags right there.

00:21:31.760 Incredible. Um, very beautiful running about 30 minutes late so far, but it was scheduled for the

00:21:37.600 morning, which was in the lunch was scheduled 1130, which is very unusual for president Trump.

00:21:42.280 Things don't, it doesn't really not having lunch at 1130 in the morning is not his deal. Um, so I

00:21:47.860 think this thing will be bumped up a little bit. Only other activity at the white house today,

00:21:51.700 public activity is going to be the Ohio state Buckeyes are going to come. Uh, the team, uh,

00:21:57.760 and president Trump is going to, um, uh, spend time with them today. Uh, I want to go to,

00:22:03.640 so we got so much, uh, not just breaking news, but important things that happened. Number one,

00:22:08.120 obviously not just tariffs and trade, but this is really focused and is much more of a bigger

00:22:14.040 involvement in a really engagement with the Chinese communist party. This war they've been

00:22:18.800 running for us. We're going to stay split screen on that. Perfect. Great. Thank you, Denver.

00:22:22.680 Um, the, as soon as the president's, uh, vehicle comes to the gate, we will mention that. Like I

00:22:29.980 said, our reporter, Brian Glenn is not there. He's actually in, he was not supposed to be in the

00:22:34.260 press pool today, but he is going to join it and Brian will probably get a question in. So

00:22:37.740 all good things happening on the war room and real America's voice this morning on a Monday.

00:22:43.640 I really engaged in this war. I'm going to come, I'm going to get into that in a minute. The

00:22:47.780 situation with cash and with Pam Bondi, yes, it's a huge concern. We actually have another

00:22:54.220 video, uh, that Elizabeth over at, uh, uh, a telegram has, uh, has pulled that, uh, I want

00:23:02.020 to put up a Fenton again, talking about the FBI, Tom Fenton's idea of the FBI and mine are exactly

00:23:07.620 aligned. Uh, I, I'm not sure you can reform the FBI. I don't know. You should reform the FBI.

00:23:13.060 Certainly I would not be putting up stuff on Instagram every couple of days about, Hey,

00:23:18.620 we're leading a new FBI and showing guys jumping out of planes and all that. I'm just not buying

00:23:23.020 that. It's not a new FBI. You've put some good people in. I mean, hell you got cash and Dan

00:23:27.460 Bongino. You couldn't have two better guys than that at the top of it. But I think that they're

00:23:32.400 only, maybe the general counsel are the only real outsiders that are over there. I mean, it's still

00:23:37.300 the FBI. Maybe you're, maybe you're promoting some better people inside, but it's a systemic

00:23:42.120 problem over there. It's not a person, not simply personnel problem. It's what's happened

00:23:46.640 to that institution over many decades as much to politicize today. And I have been a believer

00:23:52.280 you have to bifurcate the law enforcement side of it from the counterintelligence, intelligence,

00:23:57.540 counterterrorism part of it. You have to break that up right away. And, uh, I think the FBI

00:24:02.960 ought to be much smaller. In fact, I'm not so sure you couldn't take the, uh, the law enforcement

00:24:08.120 part and somehow with the justice department work out something with the U S attorneys that it was

00:24:12.960 more tightly worked with the U S attorneys, uh, at that level throughout the country and maybe with

00:24:19.440 main justice and then take the counterterrorism piece. What I'm saying is essentially break up and shut

00:24:24.520 down the FBI, which I've been a proponent of. I would also take, I would not give the building,

00:24:29.560 I would not put it up for sale. I would not give the building, uh, and let it become a museum

00:24:34.040 for the deep state. I would take, I think that buildings had an incredibly negative vibe about

00:24:39.380 it. Uh, and I'm a huge believer in, you know, the, the, what, what hangs around the buildings

00:24:44.620 and things are gone in buildings, stay there. I would actually take the building apart. It's

00:24:49.460 first off, it's brutalist architecture. It's one of the ugliest buildings in Washington DC and

00:24:55.620 Washington DC has got a couple of three very ugly buildings that were done on purpose. Not,

00:25:01.240 not randomly. Uh, I think the FBI's headquarters has got to be taken apart. Uh, and I would salt

00:25:06.340 the earth around it. And I would just put a plaque there to say, I would let that real estate. I mean,

00:25:11.200 look at 36 train in debt, we want to save every penny, but you know, selling that space or putting

00:25:16.740 another federal building up there, we're not going to miss it that badly. And I think it's very

00:25:21.680 important symbolically to just put a plaque there and say, you know, at a point in time, a free people

00:25:27.360 rose up against this and took this down. It's like Bastille day. That'll be like the Bastille,

00:25:34.100 the prison in, um, in, uh, in, in, in Paris. Very symbolic. And I totally disagree with this

00:25:41.760 thing of the FBI that, Oh, we can have some pictures jumping out of planes. We've got a new

00:25:45.420 FBI. You don't. And I honestly don't think today that the people that supported president Trump and

00:25:50.460 got folks in there, as they told Tom on, on a Saturday when Tom had really dropped the lawsuit,

00:25:56.540 is that, or put the, put the lawsuit in progress against the DOJ. Um, you know, arresting the top

00:26:04.260 10, the 10 most wanted, Hey, that's important. But it's that, that is not fundamental to what we

00:26:09.600 need to do. We got a period of time. We got to get this done. And Congress is going to fight you

00:26:13.940 like all get out. So you have to confront it. And you have to get the congressmen that are on your

00:26:18.320 side to, to be on your side. You're going to have to take this one on. This is not going to be easy.

00:26:21.960 The FBI has the FBI and the CIA. If you talk about deep state, they're everywhere in the system.

00:26:28.540 And the FBI is kind of the reign of terror. They're kind of the secret police. They're kind

00:26:31.800 of Gestapo. We're going to get the FBI on you, you know, and I'm not doing this personally

00:26:36.580 because I don't have anything of vengeance or revenge. Just not, I'm not the way I'm built.

00:26:42.320 However, I know the power of this and it can't cause if we don't take this apart in president Trump's

00:26:47.940 term. If it doesn't get done, we're going to regret, regret that this nation will regret it

00:26:53.240 because you're leaving something in place. That is, uh, that is, uh, not good. It's way off its

00:26:59.760 original mission. And if you want to have some sort of law enforcement part, federal law enforcement,

00:27:04.040 which I think that even has to be thought through. Right. And a lot of these, uh, a lot of

00:27:10.360 these RICO laws, like I said, on Bill Maher the other night about prison, one of the problems of

00:27:14.320 prison, one of the reasons so dangerous is these kind of RICO charges, these conspiracy charges

00:27:18.260 against these young men on drugs. I'm not saying they didn't do anything wrong, but I'm saying the

00:27:22.460 sentences these judges give them of 15, 20, 25 years is one of the reasons the prisons get so,

00:27:28.900 so violent. Uh, and that all part of that all comes from the FBI. So I think it really needs a very

00:27:35.400 deep rethink. Now the justice department, Pam is doing an incredible thing on some things, 0.99

00:27:39.460 what they're doing, like on antitrust. Uh, it's extraordinary. Gail Slater and the team over

00:27:44.640 there is, uh, is in her deputy have just done amazing work. What's happened. The FTC is amazing.

00:27:49.760 What's happened. The FCC is amazing. These are true Trump MAGA people that are looking to basically,

00:27:56.200 uh, are worried about the concentration of power. They call, they call this group, uh,

00:28:02.740 brand, Neo Brandeisians or Brandeisians about the concentration of power. Are we, uh,

00:28:07.760 I'm going to have to do my own play by play because the, uh, because Brian Glenn is both inside the,

00:28:12.860 uh, I can do this. Just get it. Okay. There we go. How's that? Beautiful pageantry right there. 1.00

00:28:18.300 Isn't it great? President Trump's white house activity. Here we come right now. I think we're

00:28:24.280 about to go. This is going to be very important today. The press meeting with the president of

00:28:28.920 El Salvador, who, who has done heroic work in, uh, in turning that country around. Of course,

00:28:35.180 they call him a dictator. So all the media today is, is all obsessed about the two dictators meeting.

00:28:40.320 That would be president Trump and the president of El Salvador. What is quite interesting is the

00:28:47.180 obsession of the media on this topic that, uh, and there, and, and look, I think it's a 9010,

00:28:53.540 uh, polling project that, that the American people want these criminal gangs out of here. They want

00:28:59.240 these terrorist gangs out of here. They want them out of the country and they want them in prisons out of

00:29:04.080 the country. And yet the Democrats, all they're doing all day long is arguing for the rights of

00:29:09.660 these terrorists, the rights of these criminal groups. And, uh, and they're all over president

00:29:13.000 Trump, but with everything going on in China, with everything going on in, um, in, um, throughout

00:29:19.960 the world on this great war with the Chinese. And you had Ray Dalio say, Hey, he's concerned this is

00:29:25.700 going to upset the, um, the, the very social, the very monetary order that we have. And I think that

00:29:32.740 that's very true that this monetary order that predicated upon the dollar, a dollar-based system.

00:29:39.560 And it's not about trade. It's not about reorganizing the global trading system that has to happen.

00:29:45.660 Why? Because the United States, if you look at everywhere around the world, we have commercial

00:29:49.040 relationships. We had trade deals. We're upside down everywhere. What did Mike Rogers just say?

00:29:53.520 It was very powerful. You look at the map back at the turn of the century in the year 2000,

00:29:58.940 before the full integration, Clinton had gotten China into the world trade organization and had

00:30:04.600 gotten, uh, and had gotten, um, uh, most favored nation, but it's really starting to kick in. So

00:30:10.120 you go back to the year 2000, this is after the Clintons were taking bags of cash from the Chinese

00:30:15.660 generals coming to the West wing. Um, if you, uh, if you look at that, if you looked at the map,

00:30:20.960 we had, sir, you're having surpluses all over the place. And the Chinese, a very small, 1.00

00:30:26.380 small deficit. Now you look in the maps totally changed. The Chinese Communist Party are everywhere.

00:30:32.180 One, they've stolen all the intellectual property to currency manipulation, three non-trade barriers

00:30:36.640 for just, they've had the money of wall street and, uh, in the law firms in Silicon Valley, support

00:30:43.620 them, support them. And what they've turned us into is like a, we're like a colony. We send them

00:30:49.240 soybeans and sorghum, right? And pork. They come over and buy the, uh, Smithfield ham. So they got

00:30:55.740 the, the Chinese company owns all the pork. We're like a, we're like a colony. We send them, you 1.00

00:31:00.860 know, now timber and, uh, you know, natural gas and coal, right? This is what we send them. We send

00:31:06.560 them natural resources, very, very little Finnish manufactured product. And what we send is very

00:31:13.220 little. So they've got us, you know, they've got us exactly where they want us. And this was

00:31:18.480 president Trump. This is a hard throwdown. And, and what Ray Dalio says is that, Hey, this

00:31:24.460 could upset the entire monetary order. If you continue on at the same time and trying to redo

00:31:30.100 the, the global, there we are right here. Here we come president El Salvador coming, arriving

00:31:37.140 at the West wing. This is the more of the working entrance. This is not a state visit, a formal

00:31:44.540 state visit. This is a, the head of, uh, head of nation, head of state, but not the formal

00:31:49.680 pageantry you have when they come to the main entrance of the white house. Um, there will

00:31:53.960 not be a press conference in the East room today. There we go. There's a, his vehicle

00:31:59.680 coming up. There's the executive office building in the background, the Eisenhower executive office

00:32:05.180 building called the EOB. He's coming up to the portico right there. There is the president

00:32:11.800 United States to meet him. It was become a very familiar president Trump coming to meet

00:32:18.120 his guest. Look at that very, uh, there's a lot of chemistry there. President Trump thinks

00:32:24.960 very highly of the president of El Salvador, a little photo op right there present from now

00:32:38.520 they go to work. So they're going to go, there's a little reception room where they walk in.

00:32:43.180 Then they go right past the Roosevelt room into the oval office from this little reception

00:32:48.180 area. Uh, they will now the, the order of battle here is that, uh, they're supposed to have a bilat

00:32:55.880 bilat is called as a bilateral. It's short for bilateral. That is two heads of state sitting there

00:33:00.880 and talking about confidentially what's going on. Normally the president wants a few minutes alone

00:33:06.800 with the head of state. He'll spend 10 or 15 minutes just one-on-one catching up. Then they'll

00:33:13.940 bring in, there'll be more people coming for a bilat. This is traditional. You'll have, you know, 1.00

00:33:17.460 people from the state department and defense department. You'll have some of his staff.

00:33:21.700 Uh, you see some, I think his staff coming up right now, have some of his staff in there,

00:33:25.860 the president of El Salvador, whoever the dignitary is. President Trump has done something quite

00:33:31.360 different than anybody else done. He just hasn't allowed photo ops. What he's opening up to is

00:33:35.340 what's called press avails, press availabilities. He will basically have the pool and the pool we

00:33:41.600 should know now with, you know, the white house press corps a little expanded the pool. They have a

00:33:45.240 selection every day of who's in the pool. The pool's covering, uh, the president and, and the wire

00:33:51.660 services and, and, and different ones like that are doing the, the, the, the play by play. Uh,

00:33:57.400 real America's voice has been quite honored to be in the pool. And that is to be blunt because of the

00:34:02.600 hustle shown by our own Brian Glenn. Brian is on top of this. He researches the topics. He has great

00:34:08.940 questions. Normally when we had these press avails, a lot of the foreign press, in other words,

00:34:13.620 press, uh, from central America, uh, maybe more Spanish language press, given some of the issues

00:34:19.220 that are derived, or if it's, uh, England, more of the, you know, you'll have the daily telegraph

00:34:23.940 in the, in the times of London. So they'll, they'll make it specific. They'll have more of the press

00:34:28.140 representing whether it's France or whatever area of the world, the country comes from, including the

00:34:33.220 country's own press. Uh, and then all the major media outlets, real America's voice punching way

00:34:38.300 above their weight is actually, uh, is actually, uh, is actually now included in the press pool a

00:34:43.960 lot. And that's because our own Brian Glenn has done extraordinary. Now is president Trump and

00:34:49.060 president Trump has been known to call an audible to kind of, Hey, we're, you know, we're going to

00:34:54.880 take this on the fly and here's what I want to do. So we're going to be available at any moment

00:34:59.540 to go right to the oval office in case he opens up to a press avail. Since there's no East room

00:35:06.140 formal press conference, I think there will be a press avail. President Trump may decide to do it

00:35:12.640 in the lunch. The lunch is going to be right next to the oval office in the cabinet room. So the way

00:35:16.420 the white house is laid out, you have on one side across a tiny hallway, the Roosevelt room,

00:35:21.380 which is kind of for less formal activities, more of the times when the president's meeting people

00:35:25.880 on a business side, besides going to oval, they'll meet there. That's where they have the podium

00:35:30.240 set up. Sometimes you see the, the, uh, great painting of Teddy Roosevelt as a rough writer

00:35:35.860 right in back. That's the Roosevelt room. And then right across from that. And next to the oval

00:35:40.380 office connected, uh, to the oval office by the little secretaries or the assistants

00:35:45.080 where they sit is the cabinet room, which is much more formal. They're going to have a lunch in the

00:35:50.700 cabinet room today. There's the, there's the color guard looked like striking colors going to head back.

00:35:57.140 Um, great camera footage today, guys. Fantastic. Um, the cabinet room, I think president may even

00:36:03.920 do a press avail then at the lunch, or at least the beginning of the lunch after he's had a moment

00:36:08.160 to talk. So we're going to play that all by ear today. Uh, president El Salvador is there and we

00:36:12.840 do expect there'll be a press avail and, uh, so many questions for the president today about what

00:36:17.380 happened over the weekend and particularly with issues on technology. I think to summarize it is that

00:36:23.040 they are on this, on the technology and the tariffs there is, you know, pulling them totally.

00:36:28.740 I don't think is correct. I think there's a number of national security, you know, two 32s, 1.00

00:36:33.720 et cetera. You have to go through a process of doing some reviews. I think they're trying to

00:36:39.020 catch up on those processes to actually designate it. I would spend a lot of time thinking about the

00:36:44.080 chips. Oh, uh, we're going to get to John. Yeah. John Solomon's got breaking news here. So let's go

00:36:49.600 ahead and go to John Solomon. John, you've got a big breaking story, sir. What do you got for us

00:36:54.660 this morning? Yeah, listen, so new documents that we obtained first through a lawsuit and then

00:37:00.060 through James Comer's subcommittee, because our lawsuit documents were highly redacted. Uh, James

00:37:04.780 Comer was able to get the unredacted version. They show that Joe Biden, while publicly in 2014, uh,

00:37:11.920 vowing to punish Russia for its first invasion of Ukraine, actually secretly worked behind the scenes

00:37:17.880 to open a back door so that Moscow's oil and gas could go into Ukraine after the invasion of

00:37:25.280 Ukraine. Think about that. They're out there in public saying sanction them, punish them. They're 0.99

00:37:29.620 terrible guys. But behind the scenes, they actually were arranging for Russian gas to flow back into

00:37:35.740 Ukraine right after the invasion. Now, there's a couple of reasons for it. Perhaps the most significant 0.98

00:37:40.580 reason is that the, uh, company Burisma, the one that Hunter Biden worked for, did not have enough gas

00:37:46.860 supply to heat the country in the upcoming winter of 2014, 2015. So Joe Biden goes to bat and it

00:37:53.900 actually is very beneficial to his son in Burisma. These documents were all conducted, all these

00:37:59.540 negotiations, these secret negotiations on Joe Biden's private pseudonym email account. Think about

00:38:05.220 that. He's negotiating with Russia. He's talking to Germany and the documents are kept off the official

00:38:12.120 books. They're on his private email, probably because they were beneficial to Hunter Biden's company.

00:38:16.540 But those documents just broke. The story's up at Just the News. And it's another example of

00:38:21.560 Democrats being against Russia until, well, they're for it. We saw it with Bill Clinton in the $500,000

00:38:26.400 speech. We saw it with Skokovo. And now we see it again in a decade too late, perhaps. We're now

00:38:32.580 seeing once again, Democrats on both sides of the Russia equation.

00:38:36.380 Hang on a second. I want to make sure I understand this. Where have you, where were these documents and

00:38:43.540 how did you guys get to scoop to release them? Where were these stored? How come we haven't seen

00:38:47.860 these before? How, how, how, why were they suppressed?

00:38:50.480 Yeah, because Joe Biden has 89,000 emails at the National Archives under his pseudonym email

00:38:58.300 accounts, the fake name email accounts. We sued to get these. We're getting them at about 500 a month.

00:39:04.840 It'll take us 30 years to get them at the way the National Archives is doing it. We got in the latest

00:39:10.060 batch, these emails, but they were very redacted. It turns out that the House Oversight Committee was

00:39:15.740 able to go get us less redacted version, in fact, fully unredacted versions of the emails.

00:39:21.020 And that's how we did it. We did it as a two-step. First, we sue, we get them under FOIA. We realize

00:39:25.740 there's something important here that's redacted. We work through sources to get it. And thankfully,

00:39:30.560 James Comer and the House Oversight Committee was able to get us an unredacted version of this email.

00:39:34.800 But 10 years, the American people have been kept from this secret.

00:39:40.620 Unbelievable. What, what do you, what, what kind of activity is going to come off this? Another

00:39:44.520 congressional hearing. Is there criminal? I mean, where do you see this going? Because this is a big

00:39:48.300 one. Listen, I think the most important thing that Donald Trump could do right now is to declassify

00:39:54.120 the information of the role that Joe Biden and John Brennan and others in the State Department

00:40:00.200 played in potentially ousting the Ukrainian president, Yanukovych, in late 13 and early 14.

00:40:07.340 There is a growing body of evidence, including in Bob Woodward's book, including in documents that

00:40:12.120 we've gotten, including the sources we've talked to, that maybe the U.S. government throughout the

00:40:16.700 Ukrainian president, which created this 10-year crisis in Russia, where you've got two invasions

00:40:22.800 and you got the on and off Burisma scandal. I think when you look at this window, it makes no sense

00:40:28.480 that the United States would get into a sanctions battle with Russia and then capitulate and let the

00:40:36.140 gas go in. Unless, of course, there's a Hunter Biden, Joe Biden connection to it. But this whole

00:40:41.140 period, this entire 10-year history, the two invasions, the loss of life on the battlefield,

00:40:45.740 I think it may all stem from the way the Biden-Obama administration dealt with Ukraine and Yanukovych

00:40:52.160 in late 2013 and 2014. I think the classifying what documents are there could be one of the

00:40:57.580 greatest benefits the American people have to understand this decade of extraordinary insanity

00:41:03.000 in Eastern Europe.

00:41:07.640 John, one other question, and I realize you're very close to Cash, you're very close to Pam.

00:41:12.500 You know, people all worked up. Fenton sued the Justice Department and Pam, I think, on Friday.

00:41:18.420 You know, one of the questions I keep getting all the time is, why does Solomon and Fenton have to

00:41:23.500 break stories and find scoops when we're supposed to be, oh, we're going to go to the Oval Office,

00:41:28.540 right now. Let's go to the Oval Office right now, the President of the United States. Let's go ahead and take it.

00:41:32.300 The President is a very young man now. He's just a young man.

00:41:35.340 And he's done a fantastic job. Mr. President, it's an honor to have you.

00:41:39.060 Thank you.

00:41:39.500 You're doing incredibly for your country. And we appreciate working with you because you want to stop crime,

00:41:47.480 and so do we. And it's very, very effective. And I want to just say hello to the people of El Salvador

00:41:54.600 and say, they have one hell of a president. Okay? And I mean that. And I know him well.

00:41:59.880 I know him as a very young man, Marco, even younger than you. You know, he started pretty young.

00:42:07.480 He'll always be younger.

00:42:09.860 Young at heart. But I want to thank you for the great job you're doing. I appreciate it.

00:42:15.400 Thank you.

00:42:15.820 Thank you.

00:42:16.120 Well, it's an honor to be here in the Oval Office with the President and Leader of the Free World.

00:42:24.280 We're very happy. And we're very eager to help. We know that you have a crime problem, a terrorism problem 0.69

00:42:34.360 that you need help with. And we're a small country, but if we can help, we will do it.

00:42:38.980 And we actually turned the murder capital of the world, that was the journalist called it,

00:42:45.100 murder capital of the world, into the safest country in the Western Hemisphere.

00:42:48.920 And, you know, sometimes they say that we imprisoned thousands. I like to say that we actually liberated millions.

00:42:57.700 So, you know, like, it's very good.

00:43:02.220 Who gave him that line? Do you think I can use that?

00:43:04.560 And in fact, Mr. President, you have 350 million people to liberate.

00:43:12.380 But to liberate 350 million people, you have to imprison some.

00:43:16.420 You know, that's the way it works, right?

00:43:17.660 You cannot just, you know, free the criminals and think crime is going to go down magically.

00:43:21.880 You have to imprison them so you can liberate 350 million Americans that are asking for the end of crime 0.99

00:43:28.380 and the end of terrorism. And it can be done. I mean, you're doing it already. 0.57

00:43:32.220 And I'm sure that people have seen the change in the streets.

00:43:36.660 A long way to go because you're just initiating your second term.

00:43:41.200 But it's clear that, you know, with the numbers at the border, you know, even in Democrats' run series,

00:43:48.780 they get a help from the work you're doing.

00:43:52.500 So I'm really happy to be here, honored, and eager to help.

00:43:56.760 Well, we had a terrible thing happen.

00:44:00.100 We had an administration that allowed people to come in freely into our country

00:44:07.020 from not only South America, but from all over the world, many from the Congo and Africa,

00:44:13.060 Asia, all over the world, Europe, rough parts of Europe.

00:44:16.580 And they came from prisons and they came from mental institutions and they came from gangs

00:44:23.220 and the gangs of Venezuela and other places.

00:44:27.020 And hundreds of thousands and even millions of them came.

00:44:31.480 21 million people altogether, but many of the people that came,

00:44:35.060 just a tremendous percentage of them were criminals, in some cases violent criminals.

00:44:40.080 We had 11,088 known murderers, half of them murdered more than one person.

00:44:48.220 This was allowed by a man who, what he did to our country is just unbelievable.

00:44:54.180 So we're straightening it out, we're getting them out.

00:44:56.720 But what they did and what that party did to our country, open borders, anybody could come in.

00:45:01.100 As soon as I heard that, I said, every prison's going to be emptied out into our country.

00:45:04.640 That's what happened.

00:45:05.420 And we're straightening it out.

00:45:07.980 And we just had numbers, we had the highest recruiting numbers in the history of our country

00:45:13.520 going into police departments.

00:45:15.460 And a year ago, we had the lowest numbers.

00:45:18.060 You couldn't hire a police.

00:45:19.020 The biggest change.

00:45:20.260 Nobody's ever seen.

00:45:20.760 The lowest of the highest.

00:45:21.600 And the military now, Marines, the Army, Air Force, Coast Guard, every slot is,

00:45:28.560 I mean, we have the best numbers we've ever had.

00:45:32.700 We could recruit, recruit that numbers.

00:45:35.420 And we've never had anything like it.

00:45:37.280 We had records on every single, at every single level.

00:45:42.420 But very important, the policemen.

00:45:44.260 The policemen are joining forces now that we really, we're having a hard time with policemen

00:45:49.500 because we weren't protecting our police.

00:45:51.340 And we cherish our police.

00:45:54.020 The police are great.

00:45:54.920 And the firemen and everybody else.

00:45:56.560 But we have the highest numbers that we've ever had.

00:46:00.460 The most enthusiastic.

00:46:01.440 We have great enthusiasm.

00:46:02.980 And on trade and other things, we're doing great.

00:46:05.780 We're taking in billions and billions of dollars.

00:46:07.820 We made, two weeks ago, I gave them a little bit of a pause because, you know, you have to show a little flexibility.

00:46:16.460 But we go back to what we have to do.

00:46:18.180 The markets have been very strong once they got used to it.

00:46:21.020 But we were losing $2 billion a day.

00:46:25.520 There's no company big like this.

00:46:28.260 But this is the biggest deal ever made.

00:46:30.020 Now we're making $3 billion a day. 1.00

00:46:34.520 We're a great country, but we had stupid people running this country. 1.00

00:46:38.160 And I can say what they've done to us at the border should never and can never be forgotten. 1.00

00:46:45.540 It's a sin what they did.

00:46:47.600 And you are helping us out.

00:46:49.400 And we appreciate it.

00:46:51.460 Thanks.

00:46:52.500 Thank you.

00:46:54.020 Actually, what you're doing with the border is remarkable.

00:46:57.440 It has dropped, what, 95%?

00:47:00.080 It's incredible.

00:47:01.100 Okay.

00:47:01.600 As of this morning, 99%.

00:47:04.140 99.1% to be exact.

00:47:07.060 Why are those numbers not in the media?

00:47:09.060 Well, they get out with the fake news, you know, like CNN.

00:47:12.340 CNN over here doesn't want to put them out because they don't like putting out good numbers.

00:47:17.200 They only like putting out because I think they hate our country, actually.

00:47:20.880 Yeah, that's a very...

00:47:21.620 But it's a shame.

00:47:22.700 You're right.

00:47:23.120 Isn't that a great question?

00:47:24.200 Why doesn't the media...

00:47:25.340 Why don't they put out numbers?

00:47:26.900 Yeah, 99%.

00:47:27.980 I mean, it's crazy, right?

00:47:29.600 We're doing...

00:47:30.320 It's a crazy turnaround.

00:47:31.280 Christy, could you maybe say a couple of words about the border, how we're doing?

00:47:34.800 You know, it's just been absolutely phenomenal what a great leader can do.

00:47:39.160 Clear direction.

00:47:40.120 Our laws matter.

00:47:41.440 We should only have people in our country that love us.

00:47:43.880 And the Border Patrol and our ICE officers and law enforcement officers have done fantastic work.

00:47:49.140 So we're proud of them.

00:47:50.460 Now we just need to get the criminals and murderers and rapists and dangerous gang members and terrorist organizations out of our country.

00:47:58.060 So, Mr. President Bukele, we thank you very much for your partnership.

00:48:02.660 It has been wonderful for us to be able to have somewhere to send the worst of the worst and someone to partner with.

00:48:09.120 And we'd like to continue that partnership because it's been a powerful message of consequences.

00:48:14.480 Mr. President, you wanted people to know that there was consequences if you break our laws and harm our people and endanger families.

00:48:21.540 And this is a clear consequence for the worst of the worst that we have somewhere to put them.

00:48:27.520 Thank you very much.

00:48:28.920 Yeah, we even had this gang member from Venezuela, one of the ones you sent. 0.97

00:48:34.200 And we interviewed him just, you know, to get some information, et cetera, from them.

00:48:38.620 And he said, oh, well, you know, I got arrested six times, but they released me that six times, so they should be released again.

00:48:45.820 And then we said, well, what's the last thing you do?

00:48:48.240 And he said, well, I shot a cop in the leg, but I didn't kill him. 0.97

00:48:51.720 I just shot him in the leg.

00:48:53.600 And we're like, this guy was arrested six times here in the United States, six times. 0.97

00:48:58.360 He was released six times.

00:49:00.920 And in the last, no, he was released five times.

00:49:02.860 And the last time he was sent to El Salvador, right?

00:49:04.900 So he's not getting a release, but the last thing he shot a cop, actually, and he shot him in the leg.

00:49:11.040 So this are, you know, like you said, yeah, but it's, I mean, yeah, there's something broken.

00:49:17.660 The liberal establishment, but they're not running things anymore in this country.

00:49:22.840 And we're run by, and I don't say conservative, I don't say anything.

00:49:26.560 We're run by people with great common sense.

00:49:28.660 Yeah, common sense.

00:49:29.580 Because it's all common sense.

00:49:30.740 It's not liberal conservative, it's common sense.

00:49:32.660 Exactly.

00:49:33.020 And, like, do you allow men to play in women's sports? 0.83

00:49:37.740 Do you allow men to box your women in box? 1.00

00:49:40.280 Because I know you have a lot of boxing.

00:49:41.980 That's violence.

00:49:43.620 That's, that's, that's, that's, uh, abuse of a woman. 1.00

00:49:46.400 It's abuse of a woman. 1.00

00:49:47.460 Totally.

00:49:48.160 But we have people that fight to the death because they think men should be able to play in women's sports.

00:49:53.020 And some of those sports, it wouldn't matter much, but it still matters.

00:49:57.940 But some of them are very dangerous for women.

00:50:00.120 Some years ago, some, like we said, a decade ago or so, women's rights movements were pressuring so that we enact a specific laws to avoid men abusing women.

00:50:13.500 And I think those laws were great because there were a lot of men abusing women. 0.93

00:50:17.880 But now some of the same people are trying to backtrack and actually trying to make new laws allowing men to abuse women in a sport.

00:50:26.300 So actually, that doesn't make sense.

00:50:28.240 It doesn't make sense.

00:50:29.180 It's crazy.

00:50:29.700 You know, they have weightlifting records, right?

00:50:32.160 Yeah.

00:50:32.620 A woman gets up this way. 1.00

00:50:34.060 She's incredible.

00:50:35.700 A guy gets up and beats her by 100 pounds. 0.96

00:50:38.960 What are you going to do?

00:50:39.880 A record that hadn't been broken in 18 years.

00:50:43.440 You know, they put on an ounce and an ounce, quarter an ounce, eighth of an ounce for 18 years.

00:50:48.560 Now they have a guy come up peeing.

00:50:50.120 The whole thing is crazy.

00:50:53.460 But they continue to fight.

00:50:55.580 And I don't like talking about it because I want to save it for just before the next election.

00:50:59.500 I said my people don't even talk about it because they'll change.

00:51:04.460 And, well, I watched this morning.

00:51:07.380 There was a congressman fighting to the death for men to play against women in sports.

00:51:14.420 And you say to yourself, why?

00:51:17.360 What are they doing?

00:51:18.160 Right?

00:51:18.440 What are they doing?

00:51:19.140 But your country is not too big in that.

00:51:21.600 No, of course not.

00:51:22.940 We're big in protecting women.

00:51:24.520 Good.

00:51:25.180 That's right.

00:51:25.640 It's a very important form of protection, too.

00:51:28.260 And as you can see, most of my cabinet are women. 1.00

00:51:31.560 That's impressive.

00:51:32.720 Yeah, yeah.

00:51:33.360 That's why you run it.

00:51:34.040 And they're not DEI hires or anything.

00:51:36.060 They're just great at what they do.

00:51:38.280 That's right.

00:51:38.880 This is very impressive.

00:51:40.180 This is a first.

00:51:41.600 We've had women, but we've never had three of them right here. 0.99

00:51:45.720 Four and three men.

00:51:47.240 Look at what you have.

00:51:48.300 You guys feel a little bit mistreated?

00:51:54.560 That's good.

00:51:54.980 I like it.

00:51:56.780 We've been advanced.

00:51:57.980 I've been very advanced in that regard, too.

00:51:59.880 We have Pam and Sue's been so fantastic.

00:52:02.680 Christy.

00:52:03.600 Christy.

00:52:03.960 And the most powerful woman they've seen in the world.

00:52:06.760 I know.

00:52:07.080 Exactly.

00:52:07.540 They're all afraid of her.

00:52:09.120 Susie Wells.

00:52:09.960 They say, oh, she's got the most powerful woman in the world, according to magazines. 1.00

00:52:14.560 What do I know?

00:52:15.080 But I think she probably is.

00:52:16.760 Yeah, she probably is.

00:52:17.560 Yeah, she probably is.

00:52:19.720 Congratulations.

00:52:20.160 And you know, Stephen, who's done such a great job.

00:52:22.500 Yes.

00:52:22.620 Thank you, sir.

00:52:23.120 We have just, we have great people.

00:52:25.300 He's more famous, too.

00:52:26.020 But we love working with the unions.

00:52:27.880 He really lets them have it, right?

00:52:29.680 Yeah, exactly.

00:52:30.160 There's no games.

00:52:31.020 No, no, no.

00:52:32.080 It's very good.

00:52:32.760 He knows.

00:52:33.500 Do you have any questions, please?

00:52:36.000 President Trump.

00:52:36.420 Go ahead, let's not start with CNN, because they're so, they're just so wrong.

00:52:41.420 Yeah, please.

00:52:42.420 Yeah, thank you, Mr. President.

00:52:43.420 You repeatedly mentioned last night that Russia's attack on Ukraine was a mistake.

00:52:49.280 What is the exact mistake?

00:52:50.580 And have you given Putin a deadline to actually move toward a ceasefire?

00:52:55.080 The mistake was letting the war happen. 0.75

00:52:57.820 If Biden were competent, and if Zelensky were competent, and I don't know that he is, we had

00:53:03.460 a rough session with this guy over here.

00:53:05.460 He just kept asking for more and more.

00:53:07.800 That war should have never been allowed to happen.

00:53:10.000 That war, I went four years, and Putin wouldn't even bring it up.

00:53:14.300 And as soon as the election was rigged, and I wasn't here, that war started.

00:53:19.160 There was no way that war should have been allowed to happen.

00:53:22.580 And Biden should have stopped it, and you take a look at Putin, I'm not saying anybody's

00:53:29.360 an angel.

00:53:30.660 But I will tell you, I went four years, and it wasn't even a question.

00:53:33.900 He would never — and I told him, don't do it.

00:53:36.240 You're not going to do it.

00:53:37.240 And it was the apple of his eye, but there was no way that he would have done it.

00:53:41.360 All you had to do is lower oil prices.

00:53:42.740 If you lowered oil prices, Biden kept the prices so high because he made it impossible

00:53:48.560 to get it.

00:53:49.560 If you lowered oil prices, you would have never had the war.

00:53:52.240 But you wouldn't have had it with me anyway.

00:53:53.660 That war would have never happened.

00:53:55.740 And I think it's a great abuse.

00:53:57.000 So now, what do you do?

00:53:59.240 You get a country where 25 percent of its land is gone and the best locations, where millions

00:54:05.620 of people are killed.

00:54:06.620 You know, you haven't reported accurately the debt.

00:54:10.000 And this was Biden's war, and I'm trying to stop it.

00:54:14.500 And I think we're going to do a good job.

00:54:16.080 I hope we're going to do it.

00:54:17.540 They lose 2,500 young people a week, think — on average.

00:54:22.340 Now, they're Russians and they're Ukrainians.

00:54:25.340 But it's 2,000 — we don't care.

00:54:27.680 It's like whatever it is.

00:54:28.680 I'm thought of it.

00:54:29.680 They're not from your country. 0.96

00:54:30.680 They're not from mine.

00:54:31.680 But I want to stop it.

00:54:32.680 2,500, it's a killing field.

00:54:35.760 It's like the civil war.

00:54:37.300 You take a look.

00:54:38.300 I look at the satellite pictures.

00:54:40.600 This should not be happening in our time.

00:54:43.680 Of course, our time can be pretty violent, as we know.

00:54:47.180 But that's a war that should have never been allowed to start.

00:54:50.780 And Biden could have stopped it.

00:54:53.660 And Zelensky could have stopped it.

00:54:56.120 And Putin should have never started it.

00:54:59.580 Everybody's to blame.

00:55:00.580 Have you spoken to President Zelensky, sir, about his offer to purchase more Patriot missile

00:55:06.160 batteries?

00:55:07.160 I don't know.

00:55:08.160 He's always looking to purchase missiles, you know.

00:55:09.160 He's against — listen, when you start a war, you've got to know that you can win the

00:55:13.660 war, right?

00:55:14.660 You don't start a war against somebody that's 20 times your size and then hope that people

00:55:19.160 give you some missiles.

00:55:20.900 If we didn't give them what we gave — remember, I gave them javelins.

00:55:26.700 That's how they won their first big battle, with the tanks that got stuck in the mud and

00:55:31.600 they took them out with javelins.

00:55:33.020 They have an expression that — Obama at the time — Obama gave them sheets and Trump

00:55:38.620 gave them javelins.

00:55:41.020 But there's something that should have never happened.

00:55:43.820 It's a really shame.

00:55:46.320 The towns are destroyed.

00:55:47.820 Towns and cities are, you know, largely destroyed.

00:55:51.640 They have the spires, you know, the beautiful spires that go up.

00:55:56.120 They say they were the most beautiful in the world — in Ukraine, for whatever reason. 1.00

00:55:59.920 But the most beautiful in the world.

00:56:01.920 They're mostly laying on their side, shattered and broken.

00:56:05.240 And most importantly, you have millions of people dead.

00:56:07.740 Millions of people dead because of three people.

00:56:12.420 I would say three people.

00:56:13.920 Let's say Putin, number one, but let's say Biden, who had no idea what the hell he was

00:56:18.840 doing, number two, and Zelensky.

00:56:23.800 And all I can do is try and stop it.

00:56:26.420 That's all I want to do.

00:56:27.420 I want to stop the killing.

00:56:29.460 And I think we're doing well in that regard.

00:56:31.680 It should — I think you'll have some very good proposals very soon.

00:56:35.420 Last question, sir.

00:56:36.420 Have you attributed a motive through the FBI investigation behind the attack on Governor

00:56:43.420 Josh Shapiro over the weekend?

00:56:44.920 No, I haven't.

00:56:45.920 But the attacker was not a fan of Trump, I understand.

00:56:50.300 Just from what I read and from what I've been told, the attacker basically wasn't a fan

00:56:55.880 of anybody.

00:56:56.880 He was probably just a whack job.

00:56:58.880 And certainly a thing like that cannot be allowed to happen.

00:57:01.880 Is your good relation with President Bukele the best guarantee that this time you won't

00:57:06.380 terminate the temporary protective status?

00:57:07.380 I have a great relationship with this man.

00:57:10.760 I have the best relationship with him.

00:57:12.640 We've known each other.

00:57:13.880 I've known him since he was a very young man, as I said.

00:57:17.640 Very, very young.

00:57:18.640 And I was impressed.

00:57:19.640 I said, look out.

00:57:20.640 This guy is — in fact, you sort of look like a teenager.

00:57:24.640 You look like a teenager, isn't it?

00:57:27.640 What kind of a country is it?

00:57:29.640 He grew up — he grew up well in the last five years.

00:57:34.140 Do you support extension for Nationals of El Salvador under temporary protective status?

00:57:39.140 I support him.

00:57:40.140 Do you plan to ask —

00:57:42.140 President Bukele.

00:57:43.140 President Bukele.

00:57:44.140 Let's hear the question from this very low-rated anchor at CB.

00:57:48.140 President Bukele.

00:57:49.140 Do you plan to ask President Bukele to help return the man who your administration says

00:57:52.880 was mistakenly deported?

00:57:54.140 Which one is it?

00:57:55.140 He was mistakenly deported to El Salvador.

00:57:56.640 President Bukele.

00:57:57.640 Well, let me ask Pam.

00:57:58.640 Would you answer that question?

00:58:00.640 Sure, President.

00:58:01.640 First and foremost, he was illegally in our country. 0.94

00:58:05.080 He had been illegally in our country. 0.55

00:58:07.480 And in 2019, two courts — an immigration court and an appellate immigration court — ruled

00:58:13.900 that he was a member of MS-13, and he was illegally in our country.

00:58:19.900 Right now, it was a paperwork — it was additional paperwork that needed to be done.

00:58:25.400 That's up to El Salvador if they want to return him.

00:58:29.000 That's not up to us.

00:58:29.900 The Supreme Court ruled, President, that if, as El Salvador wants to return him — this

00:58:34.900 is international matters, foreign affairs — if they wanted to return him, we would facilitate

00:58:40.900 it, meaning provide a plane.

00:58:42.900 So will you return him, President Bukele?

00:58:44.900 And you are doing a great job.

00:58:46.900 Thank you.

00:58:47.900 President Bukele.

00:58:48.900 Wait a minute.

00:58:49.900 Can you just also respond to that question?

00:58:51.900 Because, you know, it's asked by CNN, and they always ask it with a slant, because they're 0.69

00:58:56.900 totally slanted, because they don't know what's happening.

00:58:58.900 That's why nobody's watching them.

00:58:59.900 But would you answer that question also, please?

00:59:02.900 Yes, gladly.

00:59:03.900 So as Pam mentioned, there's an illegal alien from El Salvador.

00:59:08.900 So with respect to you, he's a citizen of El Salvador.

00:59:12.900 So it's very arrogant, even, for American media to suggest that we would even tell El

00:59:18.900 Salvador how to handle their own citizens as a starting point. 0.96

00:59:21.900 As two immigration courts found that he was a member of MS-13.

00:59:25.900 When President Trump declared MS-13 to be a foreign terrorist organization, that meant

00:59:30.900 that he was no longer eligible under federal law, which I'm sure you know, you're very

00:59:34.900 familiar with the INA, that he was no longer eligible for any form of immigration relief

00:59:38.900 in the United States.

00:59:39.900 So he had a deportation order that was valid, which meant that under our law, he's not even

00:59:44.900 allowed to be present in the United States, and had to be returned because of the foreign

00:59:50.900 terrorist designation.

00:59:52.900 This issue was then, by a district court judge, completely inverted, and a district court

00:59:57.900 judge tried to tell the administration that they had to kidnap a citizen of El Salvador

01:00:02.900 and fly him back here.

01:00:03.900 That issue was raised to the Supreme Court.

01:00:05.900 And the Supreme Court said the district court order was unlawful, and its main components

01:00:11.900 were reversed 9-0 unanimously, stating clearly that neither Secretary of State nor the President

01:00:18.900 could be compelled by anybody to forcibly retrieve a citizen of El Salvador from El Salvador, who,

01:00:24.900 again, is a member of MS-13, which, as I'm sure you understand, rapes little girls, murders

01:00:30.900 women, murders children, is engaged in the most barbaric activities in the world, and I can 1.00

01:00:34.900 promise you, if he was your neighbor, you would move right away.

01:00:37.900 So you don't plan to ask for any help to get him back?

01:00:39.900 But the Supreme Court is asking to...

01:00:40.900 And what's the ruling in the Supreme Court, Steve?

01:00:42.900 Was it 9-0?

01:00:43.900 Yes.

01:00:44.900 It was a 9-0.

01:00:45.900 In our favor?

01:00:46.900 In our favor, against the district court ruling, saying that no district court has the power

01:00:51.900 to compel the foreign policy function of the United States. As Pam said, the ruling solely

01:00:56.900 stated that if this individual at El Salvador's sole discretion was sent back to our country,

01:01:02.900 that we could deport him a second time. No version of this legally ends up with him ever

01:01:06.900 living here, because he is a citizen of El Salvador. That is the President of El Salvador.

01:01:11.900 Your questions about it, per the court, can only be directed to him.

01:01:14.900 You wish you could have invested in the stock market last year when investors scored the

01:01:21.900 highest profits in decades? But between that mountain of bills and credit card debt, you
