Bannon's War Room - Episode 4435： Trump Signs EO's Accrediting Colleges

00:00:00.000 hardcore. Here's what we're going to do. The president is, I think, we're setting up to go

00:00:04.920 to the Oval Office. The president of the United States is going to sign some executive orders.

00:00:10.280 He's already had a couple of media veils today. One is the sticks. Another one, he stepped outside

00:00:16.160 to talk about Zelensky. I have just recently got something about Zelensky from the president's

00:00:22.560 office. We're going to read the true social you put up. I know he wants that out there. But before

00:00:25.980 we go to all that, Mike Davis, the viceroy is in the neighborhood, dropped by with a message.

00:00:31.920 I just had several meetings at the Trump Justice Department. I met with the Attorney General,

00:00:38.720 Pam Bondi, the Deputy Attorney General, Todd Blanche, the acting number three, Chad Mizell,

00:00:44.980 and the incoming number three, Stanley Woodward. I want to reassure the war room posse that they are

00:00:53.180 very much on top of what's happening in our country, right? And just because you're not seeing

00:00:59.620 criminal indictments right now, that does not mean they're not coming. They are very much in coming.

00:01:06.320 I want you to go back to that team because that's pretty impressive. This is not President Trump's

00:01:10.820 first term Justice Department. Walk through who the players are, starting with Pam.

00:01:14.700 So Pam Bondi is the Attorney General. She is a rock solid constitutionalist. She's bold. She's 0.93

00:01:23.020 fearless. She's not being flashy about what she's doing behind the scenes. She is very much doing

00:01:28.540 things behind the scenes. We love Pam. Okay, who else? She's great. Todd Blanche. Fabulous.

00:01:33.960 The Deputy Attorney General. Took the president on as a client when nobody else would touch it.

00:01:38.560 And got ostracized for it. Now these law firms are scrambling for Todd's blessing. Let's just put

00:01:46.240 it that way. Good luck to those law firms, especially law firms like Perkins Coie. Good

00:01:51.680 luck. So he's the deputy. He's the Deputy Attorney General. He runs the day-to-day of the department.

00:01:57.280 Chad Mizell is Pam's chief of staff, who's also the acting number three, the acting associate attorney

00:02:03.760 general. Is he going to stay? He's doing a great job as chief of staff. Is he going to go to be

00:02:07.540 number three and give up chief? He'll stay as chief? No, he's staying as chief of staff,

00:02:10.180 which is more important. It's just more important. Stanley Woodward is going to be the associate

00:02:15.940 attorney general once he gets confirmed. So he's moving from the White House over at DOJ.

00:02:22.020 Yeah, he's counselor to the AG right now. And he was Navarro's lawyer. Yeah, and he was

00:02:26.740 Stanley Woodward's, or excuse me, Walt Natas. Stanley Woodward was Walt Natas' attorney,

00:02:33.700 the co-defendant on the presidential records case. President Trump has a rock-solid team of

00:02:40.420 very good lawyers who are battle-tested, who are loyal to the president and in his agenda,

00:02:45.780 they should be. And the word is from Pam and the team is that, hey, we can't, we're not going to

00:02:52.340 screw any of these things up. We don't want to hurry it. Things are happening. Stand by.

00:02:56.820 Justice is definitely coming. Let me just assure the war room posse, justice is coming and there's

00:03:04.580 going to be accountability for this unprecedented Republican lawfare where the Biden Justice

00:03:12.500 Department was politicized and weaponized. There's going to be accountability for a lot of these crimes.

00:03:17.780 It takes time to build these crimes. Cash Patel is there. He's doing a hell of a good job. So is Dan

00:03:23.780 Bongino, his deputy. Justice is coming. So just because we don't see it publicly does not mean

00:03:31.140 it's not happening. I know what's happening. Okay, the viceroy speaks. I think it makes people feel a

00:03:36.180 lot better, right? Because we only have a certain amount of time to take the deep state. I don't

00:03:40.580 need to tell you that. We're burning daylight, but good. You've gone over and done a check and they're

00:03:44.900 good people. Pam and them are the best. I mean, we just want to make sure they know we have their back,

00:03:49.700 but the posse, the MAGA of MAGA is once action, action, action. Look, there's a difference this

00:03:56.820 time. Our attorney general actually has balls. Yes. This time, unlike the last two, this one 0.98

00:04:02.500 actually has balls and it's Pam Boddy. It's amazing. It takes a woman to have balls. Yes. So a couple 1.00

00:04:08.020 other things. Number one, you mentioned Perkins and you're going to give me the heads up. As soon as

00:04:11.700 the president starts in the Oval, we're going to jump in there. We're going to do the cold open

00:04:15.460 everything later, but I got to get the viceroy where I got him. Perkins Cooey, there's some

00:04:19.780 confusion today about the president and the lawsuit. And is the president suing Perkins Cooey

00:04:25.620 personally? Is the government going after Perkins Cooey again on a different thing? What's going on?

00:04:31.540 It sounds like the president's going to sue Perkins Cooey personally. And I would say this to Perkins

00:04:36.980 Cooey's clients like Boeing, you know, Boeing that still hasn't delivered Air Force One planes after

00:04:43.460 President Trump ordered them in his first term. They were supposed to be delivered by now. And

00:04:48.420 Perkins Cooey is Boeing's lead outside law firm. I think Perkins Cooey's 30% of its revenue comes

00:04:54.900 from Boeing. I would say to clients like Boeing, you might want to find new law firms because Perkins

00:05:00.340 Cooey is not the law firm you want to use with the Trump administration. That's just my uneducated

00:05:06.340 guess as the outsider, as the viceroy. Today, we're going to have hopefully Benzman and Mike

00:05:13.300 and Michael Patrick Leahy on here later about the MS-13 guy. It turns out now in Tennessee

00:05:21.940 that he was caught. He was stopped by Tennessee state police for driving a vehicle with eight

00:05:27.860 guys jammed into a car. And it turns out that our vehicle and it turns out that that was now

00:05:33.460 licensed to a human trafficker. He was taking these guys to a site. What I mean, this thing is so

00:05:40.020 egregious. What are your thoughts on that? Now that we have more information. So does Chris Van

00:05:44.260 Holland want to fly back down to El Salvador and have margaritas with this piece of garbage 1.00

00:05:50.260 who beats women, who traffics women, who traffics children? These Democrats are so malicious with 1.00

00:05:57.060 their PR campaigns. And Republicans, particularly Republicans on the Supreme Court, are so dumb that 1.00

00:06:03.780 they get duped by these hoaxes every single time. And you think this is pretty cut and dry because 0.99

00:06:09.460 it looks like human trafficking, right? He was taking guys to a job site. It's so obvious. No,

00:06:13.460 he's just a Maryland father driving his friends around. I mean, how stupid are these people? 1.00

00:06:17.140 They're doing for last anything else in any of the new developments today on either filed Supreme Court 1.00

00:06:22.980 or et cetera. And do you think still today that by delaying, they're denying that we're losing?

00:06:30.340 I look, I think the Supreme Court is going to start feeling the heat. And I hope the Chief Justice

00:06:36.500 Commanding General John Roberts understands that if you're going to tell the President of the United

00:06:42.660 States that he cannot fulfill his constitutional duty under Article II as Commander in Chief and get

00:06:49.380 foreign terrorists out of our country, the Supreme Court is going to lose its legitimacy. It's going to 1.00

00:06:54.580 lose its funding. It's going to lose its jurisdiction. It's going to lose everything. So this is

00:06:59.940 not some balancing test by Commanding General John Roberts and his, his other commanders,

00:07:05.620 his six other commanders on the Supreme Court. You're playing a high stakes game here and you're

00:07:09.700 going to lose. The House Judiciary and the rest of the House return next week. What should,

00:07:16.580 we want everybody to go to Article III and downloading and get the app, but what should we be thinking

00:07:20.660 about as our action item for next week in regards to this very topic? Well, I would say go to

00:07:25.380 article3project.org and take action. And I think we need to take a whack at the federal judiciary's

00:07:32.580 budget. They have a $10 billion annual budget. Right now, the Supreme Court let Judge Ali,

00:07:39.060 this new Biden radical in D.C. sent $2 billion out the door. We have Boesburg, who sabotaged,

00:07:46.980 exposed and sabotaged an ongoing military operation putting American allied lives in danger. So two action

00:07:53.380 items. Let's take $2 billion under the $10 billion budget and let's have the House Judiciary Committee

00:07:59.700 open impeachment proceedings on Judge Jeff Boesburg. And now it's very evident that Boesburg inserted

00:08:06.980 himself between the commander in chief and the commander in chief's actions, which I don't think

00:08:12.020 has ever been done before in American history, to basically get due process rights for guys like

00:08:19.060 the human trafficker. I mean, what's so stunning, it's so obvious that these guys fall into the

00:08:23.460 category of, you know, you've got to round these guys up and get them to get them the hell out of

00:08:28.340 the country. After they put Trump supporters in the D.C. gulag, as Julie Kelly has exposed for four years

00:08:34.900 without due process by violating their constitutional rights. But we care about Trendy Aragua,

00:08:41.140 foreign terrorist and MS-13 gang bangers. There's something very sick about Washington, D.C. 0.95

00:08:47.460 What about any developments at a Denver that were just filed yesterday? Is that I noticed he didn't

00:08:53.300 try to do a nationwide TRO? Well, I would say this. This is the Denver judge, Colleen Sweeney,

00:08:59.140 or whatever the hell her name is. I forget her name. Another Biden radical who thinks

00:09:03.140 that we have to give 21 days notice to these terrorists before we get them out of the country.

00:09:07.700 I would say this. Remember this. Illegal immigrants do not have constitutional due process 1.00

00:09:13.460 rights. The only time they have due process rights is when Congress provides them by statute.

00:09:20.500 And the Alien Enemies Act does not provide due process rights. And so if you're coming up with

00:09:25.060 due process rights under the Alien Enemies Act, you're making crap up. You are a judicial activist 0.92

00:09:30.980 making things up. And that is unacceptable. You would think the Supreme Court would understand this.

00:09:36.100 The Supreme Court is currently considering another case before the district court ruled, before the

00:09:42.740 Fifth Circuit ruled, before the solicitor general was able to submit a brief. And you have seven

00:09:50.660 generals, self-appointed generals on the Supreme Court. Who are trying to be military experts instead of

00:09:56.100 judges. Yeah. And telling the President of the United States, probably for the first time in our history,

00:10:00.180 in joining the President of the United States and in adjoining the President on an ongoing military

00:10:05.540 operation to deport foreign terrorists who are working with Venezuela. Look, this is a red line. 0.69

00:10:10.660 This is a red line for the federal judiciary. If Chief John, if Commanding General John Roberts wants to

00:10:16.900 light on fire the federal judiciary's legitimacy, this is the playbook. This is what you would do.

00:10:22.820 Why do you say that? Why do you say that this decision or around this situation with his Article II powers

00:10:30.980 as Commander-in-Chief, why is this the issue? Because this is a 90-10 issue for Americans. And

00:10:36.500 John Roberts and his six Lieutenant Generals think they're going to tell the President of the United

00:10:42.580 States he is enjoined from doing anything, let alone deporting foreign terrorists. This is unacceptable.

00:10:49.060 This is crossing the red line. This is lawless. This is dangerous. This is where the judiciary

00:10:55.060 loses the hearts and minds of the American people. And when that happens, when you lose

00:10:59.860 public legitimacy as a court, you lose everything. They do not have Green Berets as law clerks. They do 1.00

00:11:05.940 not have an army. Why Grassley heads up the Senate? Why is Grassley not going to step in? Why are we

00:11:13.860 depending upon the House to do it? It seems like to me, somebody up there is also got to have Trump's

00:11:18.900 back and getting a formal process, even though, you know, let's say it's not impeachment. There's

00:11:24.580 so many other tools they have to do this. You know, you got to cutting the budget, but you have other

00:11:29.380 things. Why is Grassley, if Jim Jordan's not going to move and people, you know, for years have said,

00:11:34.820 Jim Jordan's just not a guy that's going to take action or be forward leaning. Yeah. A good guy,

00:11:39.300 but just not going to do it. Why is Grassley not doing it? Grassley is a workhorse, not a show horse.

00:11:44.660 And I am working with Grassley and his staff right now on a legislative fix to all of this.

00:11:49.940 So stay a legislative fix. Stay tuned. So I was pretty good knowing there would be something

00:11:54.580 happening there. And so, and he's Grassley is not a lawyer as a farmer, right? He's a,

00:11:59.620 he's the smartest non-lawyer lawyer you're ever going to meet. He's been on the Judiciary Committee

00:12:04.980 for 40 years and he manages to outmaneuver. Why did he do that early on? You know, as a farmer,

00:12:11.620 not a lawyer, I think because it's almost unheard of not, they're all lawyers up there and they all

00:12:16.260 fight for judiciary because they want to be seen later in confirmation hearings, particularly on

00:12:21.380 Supreme Court justice. How did a guy that was not a lawyer, given the fact that they fall on

00:12:25.620 hand grenades to get that, how did he end up on judiciary? I think leadership wanted him to do

00:12:30.020 it. So he did it. I mean, the common sense of a guy that's not a lawyer. And he was able to,

00:12:34.100 he was very effective on the Judiciary Committee during the farm crisis. So that affected Iowa. He's,

00:12:40.020 yes, he is the most effective Senate judiciary chairman Republicans have ever had. You just

00:12:44.900 have to look at his results in the first term, a record number. And you know him so well because

00:12:48.980 you worked on the confirmation, which is people should understand the confirmation of these judges.

00:12:53.860 It's brutal. Grassley will outwork and outsmart anyone. Last thing, I know you've got to bounce

00:12:59.380 from the president. Ed Martin, I just realized in doing my research, there has not been a confirmation

00:13:05.940 hearing for 40 years for a U.S. attorney. They are confirmed, but it's done in a in a paperwork

00:13:11.460 process. The Democrats are demanding now a confirmation hearing for our buddy Ed Martin.

00:13:16.740 Your thoughts? I'm going to meet Ed Martin right after this, and I'm going to do everything I can

00:13:20.980 to help Ed Martin get through that process. Go to article3project.org, take action and light up

00:13:26.180 both of your home state senators. To say there should be no in-person confirmation hearing?

00:13:30.900 That's not going to happen. They're not going to start that. They're not going to go down that

00:13:33.700 path of having hearings for U.S. attorneys. Even with a controversial guy like Ed Martin?

00:13:38.260 He either has the votes or he doesn't have the votes. So let's call both of your home state

00:13:41.780 senators and light them up. This is huge. Article 3 project and what do they do? What's your task

00:13:47.860 and purpose today? Well, I would say one last thing. I hear, you know, maybe, just maybe,

00:13:54.740 Big Tish James, maybe, just maybe, she should lawyer up because maybe, just maybe, justice is 1.00

00:14:01.700 coming for lying on your Virginia mortgage application. Defrauding.

00:14:05.940 They're going to go in soon. Okay, Mike Davis. Yes, sir.

00:14:08.740 Article 3. You're in the middle of it all today. The Viceroy on Capitol Hill. Brother,

00:14:13.220 thank you so much. We're cutting to the what? In about 20 seconds.

00:14:16.900 We're cutting to the Oval Office. Let's go and pick it up early. Let's do it.

00:14:19.780 All right. President of the United States.

00:14:31.780 Awesome.

00:14:33.780 Do you want to get in here?

00:14:43.780 Hello, everybody.

00:15:09.780 Hello, everybody. So we have a very special group of wounded veterans who are amazing. I've

00:15:17.460 actually visited many of them in the hospital, and they came out better than me. They came out

00:15:25.220 looking good. If I had that look, I would have been president 20 years ago. I wouldn't have had to wait

00:15:30.100 so long. You look great, fellas. But we have many of them. I didn't even realize it at the time, but I

00:15:35.780 visited many of you in the hospital. They did an incredible job. The doctors are absolutely

00:15:41.700 unbelievable, the job they do. So we were having a little meeting. And at the same time,

00:15:46.340 we're signing some very important legislation, what will become legislation. And right now,

00:15:52.260 it's an executive order. And having to do mostly with education. We have our secretary of education,

00:16:00.580 Linda McMahon, who's been so incredible over the last few weeks. I've been watching her on television.

00:16:05.060 I'd like to tell her she can do better, but she can't. She can't do any better. So I want to thank

00:16:09.940 you, Linda. Fantastic. And we also have commerce. And we have labor with us today. And you have been,

00:16:16.260 thank you very much. And Howard, thank you very much. And we'll take some questions after we're

00:16:22.420 finished. Maybe I'll ask Will to step forward. And you can go through some of these. Also,

00:16:30.740 Lindsay, you work with Will, two very talented lawyers, as you all know by now. Thank you,

00:16:37.380 Mr. President. And we'll go through them. And Linda, why don't you come over here? In fact,

00:16:40.500 one of the three of you come over here. We also have a special guest with us today, sir.

00:16:46.260 Oh, that's right. Annette Albright. Where is Annette? Annette Albright. Charlotte Mecklenburg

00:16:57.300 school teacher. Very special one. Thank you very much. It's a great honor to have you get all sorts

00:17:02.980 of awards for talent. That's good. Thank you very much for being with us. Appreciate it. Thank you.

00:17:09.220 Okay, please. Sir, the first executive order we have prepared for your attention. There are

00:17:13.620 currently laws on the books requiring certain disclosures of universities when they accept

00:17:19.460 large foreign gifts. We believe that certain universities, including, for example, Harvard,

00:17:25.220 have routinely violated this law. And this law has not been effectively enforced. So this executive order

00:17:31.460 charges your departments and agencies with enforcing the laws on the books with respect to foreign gifts to

00:17:37.380 American universities. Okay. Thank you. Thank you very much. We'll put it right here.

00:17:48.500 Next for you, sir. University accreditation is currently a process controlled by a number of

00:17:54.660 third party organizations. That's by statute, by law. Many of those third party accreditors have relied

00:18:01.620 on sort of woke ideology to accredit universities instead of accrediting based on

00:18:07.140 merit and performance. This executive order affects a number of changes to the university accreditation

00:18:13.940 process also applies to law schools and other sort of graduate programs. But the basic idea is to force

00:18:21.700 accreditation to be focused on the merit and the actual results that these universities are providing

00:18:28.340 as opposed to how woke these universities have gotten. So we're setting up new accreditation pathways.

00:18:34.100 We're charging the Department of Education to really look holistically at this accreditation mess and

00:18:39.060 hopefully make it much better. Will we look into the past people that they've taken? For instance, I hear

00:18:45.620 all about certain great schools and then we read where they're going to teach people basic math,

00:18:51.940 math that we can all do very easily, but they can't do their, you know, going to the top school and they're

00:18:56.900 going to come out with a program of teaching basic math to somebody that got into a Harvard or Princeton

00:19:04.100 or Yale. Is that part of this? When universities are not performing appropriately, whether that's in

00:19:11.940 admissions or whether that's in their actual instructional activities, that's certainly something

00:19:16.500 that accreditors should be considering that right now we believe they're they're not doing a good enough

00:19:21.540 job of. And I think Secretary McMahon could probably speak to that better than I could. So they're

00:19:25.700 allowing people into school. They can't do math and yet kids who've worked really hard and number one

00:19:31.700 in their class in a high school someplace in New Jersey or in Mississippi, they can't get into the best

00:19:37.540 schools. What is that all about? Yeah, and I think that gets to your policy, sir, of meritocracy,

00:19:43.220 that we should be looking at those who have real merit to get in. And they and we have to look harder at

00:19:48.500 those universities that aren't enforcing that. Okay, thank you. And this pretty much does it, right?

00:19:53.620 Yes, sir. Thank you.

00:20:04.820 Okay.

00:20:10.820 Thank you. Sir, during your first administration, you made promoting historically black colleges and

00:20:17.460 universities HBCUs a major priority. This executive order takes existing law on HBCUs and brings it into

00:20:26.260 effect. We're going to be setting up a White House initiative on HBCUs. The basic idea here is making

00:20:32.020 sure that every aspect of your administration is working to ensure that HBCUs are able to do their

00:20:38.100 job as effectively and as efficiently as possible.

00:20:57.620 This next executive order relates to artificial intelligence education, sir. You've obviously done a

00:21:03.860 lot in the artificial intelligence space already. The basic idea of this executive order is to ensure

00:21:10.180 that we properly train the workforce of the future by ensuring that school children, young Americans are

00:21:17.140 adequately trained in AI tools so that they can be competitive in the economy years from now into the

00:21:23.460 future as AI becomes a bigger and bigger deal. That's a big deal because AI is where it seems to be at.

00:21:29.700 We have literally trillions of dollars being invested invested in AI. And there are somebody today, a very smart

00:21:38.740 person said that AI is the way to the future. I don't know if that's right or not, but certainly very smart people

00:21:45.060 are investing in it heavily.

00:21:46.340 Good.

00:22:03.060 Okay.

00:22:04.580 Next here we have an executive order on workforce development. This executive order is going to

00:22:09.380 charge numerous departments and agencies within the government to reshape the way that we do workforce

00:22:16.260 development. One example from the executive order, for instance, we're looking to get the total number

00:22:21.460 of apprenticeships, new apprenticeships up to a million in the country to ensure that in critical

00:22:28.180 jobs areas and in areas where we currently don't have enough trained workers, that we're recreating that

00:22:34.420 pipeline to ensure that particularly as we onshore industrial jobs and new industries, that those industries

00:22:41.700 have the workforce they need to be competitive globally.

00:22:44.900 Right. Very important.

00:22:46.900 And this is the EO that we're all here working together.

00:22:50.740 And in a way, this is like a training center, right, for what we're trying to do, which is jobs and

00:22:57.380 great salaries. These are great salaries, too.

00:22:59.940 Right. It's exactly. So all those factories that you're bringing in because of your trade policy,

00:23:05.460 we're going to train people in tradecraft, bring back tradecraft to America so that people can work 0.95

00:23:11.780 in these factories with great paying jobs. And we're going to train them and we're going to remake the

00:23:16.420 American dream for all these people. We're working together.

00:23:19.860 That's right. Right, Lori?

00:23:20.900 Absolutely. This plays right into America at Work Tour, which I have kicked off. We will work with our state

00:23:28.340 partners and work with our businesses to see exactly who they need in that workforce. And we will skill and upskill

00:23:33.220 these apprentices so they can get right to work and get in the field and build back this economy for

00:23:38.100 exactly the living the American dream.

00:23:43.780 Next, sir, we have an executive order on school discipline policies.

00:23:47.780 Under, I believe it was the Biden administration, first Obama and then Biden, the Department of Justice

00:23:52.980 issued guidance that made it almost impossible for schools to enforce adequate disciplinary policies.

00:24:00.340 This created issues in the classroom for teachers and students alike. Basically,

00:24:05.540 they focused on CRT and sort of diversity ideology instead of actually just enforcing the rules in

00:24:12.580 classrooms to ensure a safe learning environment. This executive order revokes that prior guidance

00:24:18.260 and puts us back in a place where hopefully the Department of Education can focus on education and

00:24:23.540 teachers can focus on teaching in a safe environment.

00:24:26.340 And this was important for you, Linda, as I understand it?

00:24:29.060 Yeah, absolutely, because it gives teachers the authority now to have discipline in their classroom

00:24:34.420 and discipline the person who is being disruptive. We took that away.

00:24:40.500 Okay.

00:24:50.260 Okay.

00:24:56.660 Nice.

00:24:57.060 Cool.

00:24:57.380 I feel like you should hold that.

00:25:00.980 Lastly, sir, we have...

00:25:01.940 You don't go out and buy a life jacket when the boat is already sinking. You don't buy gold

00:25:07.380 when the economy has already collapsed. Clearly, others are heeding this advice as gold hit an

00:25:12.420 all-time high the first part of 2025 multiple times. It's not too late for you. The company I

00:28:46.820 We have an executive order on disparate impact theory. This is a theory that underlies a lot of

00:28:52.480 the modern DEI and CRT-driven diversity culture. The basic idea here is instructing your departments

00:28:59.400 and agencies to no longer rely on disparate impact theory as they're regulating, as they're

00:29:05.240 issuing guidance, as they're making rules. We want to focus on results. We want to focus

00:29:10.840 on actual fairness. We want to focus on merit, not things like disparate impact theory and the

00:29:16.360 whole sort of diversity, equity, and inclusion cult. It's getting out of that, huh? Yes, sir.

00:29:21.160 Thank you very good job. Thank you very much. Appreciate it very much. Would you like to introduce again Annette and perhaps Annette wants to say something?

00:29:47.160 Annette is right here. Yes, Annette. Yes, please come over.

00:29:57.960 Would you like to have some comments to make? I know you're a former Charlotte Mecklenburg school teacher.

00:30:02.120 I'm a North Carolina girl, so it's nice to be here. Yes, New Bern. Yes. Thank you so much for having me.

00:30:08.760 Thank you so much. I am so honored to be here. This has been an eight-year

00:30:12.920 journey for me to raise awareness to the violence that's in public schools and the critical need to

00:30:20.040 address violence in public schools. Again, been doing it eight years because most administrations

00:30:26.040 like to keep the violence hidden. We have three students that should be here with us today. We have

00:30:31.720 Austin McClough, I'm sorry if I say his name wrong, Serenity Baker, and Niger Taylor from Charlotte,

00:30:38.840 North Carolina who was shot in the back as he was getting off of a school bus because they thought

00:30:44.040 he was a part of a big brawl that happened inside a public high school. So this is very important and

00:30:50.680 critical legislation that we have to keep our educators safe, we have to keep our students safe,

00:30:56.680 and public schools have to be safe environments. So I think, like I said, I've done this journey alone,

00:31:02.920 I've been on it, but I have a whole team behind me now. I spoke at the RNC, and I told millions that

00:31:10.840 Donald Trump and his administration was going to make schools great again,

00:31:14.200 and I feel that we're on the right path, and I'm just honored to be here. Thank you.

00:31:18.360 Thank you. Thank you so much. I appreciate it. Thank you. Thank you. What an honor.

00:31:36.600 Great job. Could I ask Sarah to speak? Yes, sir. Thank you.

00:31:41.080 Tell us a little bit about these great gentlemen. These heroes, Mr. President, are extraordinary.

00:31:46.920 This is my husband, Michael, and so many of our dear, dear friends who are here today.

00:31:51.880 Many of them have met you, sir, in your first administration in the hospital,

00:31:55.160 many times at Walter Reed, and they've had long recoveries. Tomorrow, for my husband,

00:31:59.960 marks 15 years since he was wounded in Afghanistan. And on that day, about six years ago, he had his

00:32:05.960 120th surgery post-Afghanistan, and you came to see him at Walter Reed and so many others. And we saw

00:32:13.560 great reform in the VA access, same-day access to prosthetics, mental health care, and we know that

00:32:19.400 that is back. We're going to these gentlemen were saying, Alex here earlier was saying in the last few

00:32:24.600 years when he's gone to get a wheelchair, the VA has asked him, this gentleman, they've asked him to

00:32:29.240 prove that he still has his injuries as though maybe his limbs would grow back. And they unfortunately

00:32:36.120 did not. Yes. And we've seen that many times. And so we're excited for you bringing back the VA

00:32:40.840 accountability, Mission Act, community care, that were the hallmark of your first term.

00:32:45.560 And we're so excited, sir, to be here. We're honored to be here. And thank you for all you do for

00:32:49.720 our nation's heroes. Thank you. Who's that picture on there?

00:32:54.040 That is Joe Biden, and it says, Let's go, Brandon.

00:33:01.160 I'm saying, What was that picture?

00:33:04.200 I told him he wasn't allowed to ask you to sign it.

00:33:06.360 That's great. That's very good. Well, thank you all very much. Would you like to say anything,

00:33:13.080 fellas? There's a big chance you have a lot of good people watching that believe in

00:33:18.760 you. They happen to be the media, but they believe very much in you like I do. Anybody?

00:33:23.480 Mr. President, we're just very happy with the energy that this administration is bringing.

00:33:27.480 And it's an administration that says, does what it promises. And so we're behind you. We believe in

00:33:33.240 you. And I think we all love you. Thank you very much. And I'm going to get you a better hat.

00:33:38.760 Say I have better hats. That's a good one. That was the original.

00:33:42.200 It was. That means he was there.

00:33:43.720 I've been wearing it before it was cool.

00:33:44.920 That's right. That's an early one. We'll save that one, though, right?

00:33:48.360 Yes, Mr. President.

00:33:49.160 Thank you. Anybody, please?

00:33:50.280 I'd like to say, yeah.

00:33:51.800 Okay. I was just going to say thank you for loving America, sir.

00:33:54.840 Thank you. Thank you so much.

00:33:55.960 Very nice. Thank you very much. True. Thank you.

00:33:58.600 Sir, the manager spoke to save Michael Brardo's life. And of course, he goes immediately to say

00:34:03.320 thank you, as he was the one that saved Michael Brardo, put him in the helicopter,

00:34:07.320 and got him off the combat zone. So the selflessness of these men is unspeakable.

00:34:11.640 That's great to you.

00:34:12.760 He's alive because of that man right here.

00:34:14.440 That's very good.

00:34:22.920 These are amazing people, great heroes. So that's really great. Anybody else?

00:34:27.960 I'd like to say it was an honor to serve. You are worth it. This country's worth it. And it's

00:34:32.920 because of what Christ paid for it. Thank you. And we have a spirit that people haven't seen in many

00:34:38.120 years, at least five, that they haven't seen. I think even then, because we've been through so

00:34:45.960 much for the last four years together, it was so bad. It was so bad, what they've done to the borders,

00:34:51.320 what they've done all over the place. And it's really an honor to be with you, all of you.

00:34:57.160 Incredible. And I'm going to give you these coins. I think you're going to really like them.

00:35:01.400 I think they're the best. These are the best coins. And you have your chairs. This is gun metal.

00:35:06.920 I don't know, soldiers like the black, but I think you like this one. It's okay. 1.00

00:35:12.760 A lot of soldiers like the black. Here you go. What do you like? 1.00

00:35:16.680 I'll go to the black in prison. See, I told you. 1.00

00:35:24.680 These are choices. I'll take a black one, sir. 1.00

00:35:27.720 Look at this. That rarely happens. You're different, huh?

00:35:32.840 Take a black one, sir. There you go. That's great. 1.00

00:35:35.880 They call the military. No, but I always say the soldiers, they do like it. It's gun metal.

00:35:41.800 What do we like here? That's what I heard, that it was gun metal.

00:35:44.200 I'm giving him two.

00:35:49.560 We have three girls. They're going to fight. 1.00

00:35:51.480 We'll get another one, too. Okay.

00:35:54.040 This is actually fun. I'll take the gold one, sir.

00:35:59.720 Okay. I thought you were going to take that gold one. Okay.

00:36:05.720 Gold one, sir. Okay. You got it.

00:36:07.800 I had an opportunity to sail across the Gulf of America two days after you named it right.

00:36:11.400 Oh, wow. Is that good?

00:36:15.080 It's been an honor. And now people say it routinely.

00:36:18.920 Yep.

00:36:19.320 They don't even think about the other. They say it routinely.

00:36:22.120 That's been a great honor for me.

00:36:24.840 Okay.

00:36:26.920 I'll take a gold one, sir.

00:36:28.440 Okay.

00:36:33.960 Almost even. I think gold is an edge.

00:36:36.440 I would love a gold one, sir. Thank you so much.

00:36:38.440 Thank you.

00:36:39.160 The gold, it picked up at the end, right?

00:36:42.680 Are we all okay? That's good.

00:36:45.000 Yeah. So, I want to thank you very much. And especially, that's a great story.

00:36:50.440 Yeah?

00:36:51.320 Yes, sir.

00:36:51.880 So, what do you think of a guy like that? Pretty good.

00:36:53.960 Oh, we actually, him from Manhattan, we all served together.

00:36:58.600 Wow.

00:36:59.240 And Jared over there.

00:37:01.080 And Jared over there.

00:37:01.880 And Jared over there.

00:37:02.520 And Jared over there.

00:37:02.680 Oh, I forgot.

00:37:03.480 So, you guys got hit, huh? Pretty good.

00:37:05.960 You got hit.

00:37:06.600 Pretty good.

00:37:07.320 Amazing.

00:37:07.800 Amazing.

00:37:08.360 We're in a pretty tough area in the Argonaut River Valley.

00:37:11.240 Right outside Kandahar.

00:37:12.680 Their unit had a more than 50% purple heart rate, sir.

00:37:15.960 Wow.

00:37:16.520 In 2010.

00:37:17.160 You deserve it.

00:37:18.760 You deserve that and more.

00:37:19.960 We appreciate it so much.

00:37:21.560 Brave, really brave, brilliant people.

00:37:24.440 Thank you very much.

00:37:25.720 Do you have any questions of the guys here?

00:37:29.720 I want to say thank you to the veterans who are here.

00:37:32.600 Thank you so much for defending us.

00:37:34.200 And then I wanted to ask you, Mr. President, because you said

00:37:36.680 you want to bring the tariffs on China down soon.

00:37:40.440 How soon do you want to bring the tariffs on China?

00:37:44.680 Well, that depends on them.

00:37:46.040 We have a situation where we have a very, very great place.

00:37:51.560 It's called the United States of America.

00:37:53.560 And it's been ripped off for years and years.

00:37:56.520 These people know it.

00:37:57.400 We talked about it before you came in.

00:37:59.800 We've been ripped off by every country in the world,

00:38:01.960 practically, and friend and foe.

00:38:04.040 And we will.

00:38:06.920 We're not doing that anymore.

00:38:08.040 So what's happened is we've.

00:38:10.520 Howard, how many countries have we spoken to already?

00:38:13.080 Ninety.

00:38:13.560 Ninety.

00:38:16.680 And they all want to make deals.

00:38:19.640 We're going to make deals, but they're going to be fair deals.

00:38:22.120 They're not going to be rip off deals.

00:38:23.480 And, you know, we were losing almost five billion dollars a year.

00:38:28.360 No country can do that.

00:38:30.280 And now we have it down almost to even, maybe even better than even,

00:38:34.280 because of the tariffs on cars and aluminum and steel.

00:38:38.120 We have tariffs 25% on cars, aluminum and steel.

00:38:42.040 And there's a rush to build new steel plants, a rush to build new aluminum plants,

00:38:46.680 and a biggest rush I've ever seen that we've ever seen to build car plants.

00:38:51.320 We have like 11 of them or something, big ones, where you guys maybe work.

00:38:55.960 Maybe you won't want to work.

00:38:57.000 You'll do something else instead of that.

00:38:58.680 But if you like cars, you'd like to work on one of these plants,

00:39:01.080 the biggest plants in the world.

00:39:02.920 Three of them have left Mexico before construction started,

00:39:05.960 one of them during construction.

00:39:08.200 And they're coming to this country. 1.00

00:39:09.800 They're coming back.

00:39:10.520 Don't forget.

00:39:11.080 And we get along great with Mexico.

00:39:13.160 But Mexico took 32% of our car building business.

00:39:17.320 So it's amazing what's happened.

00:39:20.920 Remember this number.

00:39:22.520 Anywhere from three to five billion dollars a day.

00:39:27.720 That's not million dollars.

00:39:28.920 That's a billion dollars a day.

00:39:30.280 Nobody can even imagine it.

00:39:32.360 And that's what we were losing.

00:39:33.800 And, you know, hence we have 36 trillion dollars in debt and everything else.

00:39:38.040 And in the end, I think what's going to happen is we're going to have great deals.

00:39:41.560 And by the way, if we don't have a deal with a company or a country,

00:39:45.560 we're going to set the tariff.

00:39:46.680 We just set the tariff.

00:39:47.640 It's something that we think that will happen, I'd say, over the next couple of weeks.

00:39:51.400 Wouldn't you say?

00:39:51.960 I think so.

00:39:52.600 Over the next two, three weeks, we'll be setting the number.

00:39:56.760 And we're going to pick, could be for China, too.

00:39:59.160 Could be for China. 0.94

00:40:00.120 Well, we're dealing with almost all of them.

00:40:03.000 Too many to fully deal with, but we're going to be fair to them.

00:40:06.120 But we're dealing with a lot of countries right now.

00:40:08.600 And it could be with China, but maybe we'll make a special, you know, a deal.

00:40:14.360 And we'll see what it will be.

00:40:15.640 Right now, it's 145 percent.

00:40:17.400 That's very high.

00:40:18.840 It got there because of the fentanyl.

00:40:21.320 They're sending, you know, massive amounts of fentanyl into our country and killing a lot of

00:40:26.600 people, probably 200,000 plus a year, wiping them out.

00:40:30.040 You probably all have friends who were killed.

00:40:32.520 Somebody was killed in your family or your friends with fentanyl.

00:40:36.120 And somehow it's made almost exclusively in China.

00:40:39.960 And as you know, we essentially taxed them 10 and then another 10.

00:40:46.920 We also taxed Mexico 25 and we taxed Canada 25. 0.85

00:40:51.720 And that's the kind of money that's what's pouring into our country right now.

00:40:56.840 And it's gotten us down from losing three to five billion dollars a day to

00:41:01.240 actually making money, but breaking even, let's say.

00:41:03.960 But we're going to make a lot of money.

00:41:06.040 And that money is going to be used to reduce taxes.

00:41:08.280 We're going to get big, big tax breaks.

00:41:09.880 We're going to, you know, there was a time.

00:41:12.680 I said it this morning.

00:41:13.720 I think some of you were there.

00:41:15.400 There was a time from 1870 to 1913.

00:41:19.320 It was a long time ago.

00:41:20.280 We were an all tariff nation. 0.98

00:41:22.440 The foreign nations paid taxes.

00:41:24.280 They paid money to us in the form of tariffs.

00:41:27.000 And that was when we were the wealthiest.

00:41:28.760 We were the wealthiest proportionately that we ever were.

00:41:32.280 And they formed committees in 1887 in particular.

00:41:37.160 But they formed committees to determine what we should do with all the money.

00:41:40.920 We had so much money. You guys would have loved it.

00:41:43.880 We had so much money. They didn't know what to do with it.

00:41:46.280 We gave it away to different causes.

00:41:49.080 And you haven't seen that too much anymore.

00:41:52.280 Although we gave plenty away, but now we shouldn't be giving it away.

00:41:54.680 We have to take care of ourselves first, right?

00:41:57.000 Absolutely.

00:41:57.720 But we were very wealthy and proportionately the wealthiest we ever were.

00:42:02.360 We built the Panama Canal.

00:42:03.720 Jimmy Carter gave that away for one dollar, by the way.

00:42:06.680 One of the most profitable things ever built the Panama Canal. 0.98

00:42:09.800 We gave it away for one dollar to Panama.

00:42:13.240 Why? I don't know.

00:42:14.920 Nobody knows, but that's what we had.

00:42:16.520 We have people like that sitting behind this desk.

00:42:19.240 And that shouldn't have happened.

00:42:21.160 Panama Canal, we spent, it was the most expensive thing ever built by our country in history.

00:42:27.560 I'm talking relative dollars.

00:42:30.040 We've never built anything so expensive.

00:42:31.960 I think it was the equivalent of 1.7 billion dollars.

00:42:35.880 And we've never built anything like that.

00:42:39.400 We built, we built a lot of things, but never so expensive.

00:42:44.040 Then we started building other things.

00:42:45.720 We had a lot of money to do it, all based on foreign countries coming in and paying us tariffs.

00:42:51.640 And we're doing that again.

00:42:52.600 And I think we're going to make so much that we're going to be able to reduce taxes in this country by a lot.

00:42:57.000 And we're also going to treat those countries very fairly.

00:42:59.800 But if we don't make a deal, which is possible, we're going to just set the price.

00:43:04.600 Because you remember, they have to come in.

00:43:06.280 They want to come in here and they want to do business with the United States.

00:43:10.040 So we want to set a fair price and we'll do that.

00:43:13.000 We're going to be very fair, but we'll set a fair price.

00:43:15.560 And then they can make a determination as to whether or not they want to do business with the United States.

00:43:20.200 And I think most of them will.

00:43:21.800 And I think we're going to treat them very fairly.

00:43:23.640 Were you worried about what the 145% tariffs were doing to small businesses here in the U.S.?

00:43:29.720 Is that why you're bringing it down?

00:43:30.680 No, no, no.

00:43:31.720 No, I haven't brought it down.

00:43:33.320 I haven't brought it still 145.

00:43:35.720 I haven't brought it down.

00:43:36.760 I said it's a high tariff.

00:43:38.200 It is a high tariff, but I haven't brought it down.

00:43:40.840 It basically means China's not doing any business with us, essentially, because it's a very high number.

00:43:45.960 So when you add that to the price of a product, you know, a lot of those products aren't going to sell.

00:43:51.880 But China's not doing any business.

00:43:53.560 They were doing they were doing one point one trillion dollars.

00:43:59.240 Think of the one point one trillion dollars.

00:44:01.720 You know what that is?

00:44:03.160 And it was just very unfair to us.

00:44:05.560 And we were doing very little relatively very little with them.

00:44:08.440 It was a one sided, very one sided.

00:44:11.080 But we get along.

00:44:12.040 I get along very well with President Xi.

00:44:13.800 And I hope we can make a deal.

00:44:14.920 Otherwise, we'll set a price.

00:44:16.200 And if they don't, that's OK.

00:44:21.880 Sir Ryan, on your trip to Rome, there's a lot of leaders attending the Post funeral who also said they'd like to meet with you while you're there.

00:44:28.760 Do you have any meetings set up?

00:44:30.040 Yes, I do.

00:44:30.920 I have a lot of meetings set up.

00:44:32.600 I don't know if I can do it.

00:44:33.560 Do you want to help me out, fellas?

00:44:35.480 I've had a lot of meetings.

00:44:36.840 I got every leader in the world, which tells you that we have a good product.

00:44:41.640 It's called the United States of America.

00:44:43.720 And it's great.

00:44:45.080 And these people know about it better than anybody in this room.

00:44:49.320 But we have a great we have a great place.

00:44:51.880 And it should be a lot greater.

00:44:55.080 And that's what we're going to do.

00:44:56.120 We're going to make it greater than ever before.

00:44:58.680 It's very simple.

00:44:59.400 Who are you going to be meeting with President Xi?

00:45:01.160 Well, I have a lot of meetings set up.

00:45:02.680 Yeah.

00:45:03.160 And are you bringing anyone with you in the U.S. delegation to the funeral, like Secretary Rubio or a former president?

00:45:09.000 We have a couple of people coming.

00:45:11.400 We'll announce it probably this evening or tomorrow.

00:45:14.360 The first lady is going. 1.00

00:45:17.880 And some people are coming with me from staff.

00:45:21.320 But we'll have a number of people going.

00:45:23.240 It's going to be I'm sure it's going to be a beautiful ceremony.

00:45:26.920 I had one on Ukraine, but I wanted to ask you one about veterans since they are here today.

00:45:30.680 And thank you for your service and sacrifice.

00:45:32.760 I wanted to ask you about the cuts that have been made, including with the VA.

00:45:36.920 Can you assure that veterans like these men here, those that have been suffering from mental health

00:45:43.800 issues or birth pits, for example, will be taken care of?

00:45:47.880 Yeah, very much so.

00:45:49.000 In fact, they will tell you it's been better with me than any president in history.

00:45:54.120 We had a 92 percent approval rating, which is unheard of, up 50 points from the previous administration

00:46:00.760 in my first four years.

00:46:01.960 And we're doing better now.

00:46:03.240 In fact, now they have something to call in to call in doctor stuff where it's really become,

00:46:08.280 you know, it's really become modernized and great.

00:46:10.520 We don't have to go and travel sometimes long distances to get to a clinic or get to the VA.

00:46:17.240 And I just heard this morning.

00:46:18.520 I was listening to Doug Collins, who's the secretary.

00:46:21.000 He was being interviewed.

00:46:22.680 And the numbers are incredible.

00:46:24.280 The approval ratings are the highest.

00:46:26.760 I've never heard numbers like this.

00:46:28.280 It's better than the first four years.

00:46:30.440 So, no, there's nobody.

00:46:32.200 There's no group of people more important than the people in this room.

00:46:37.000 And I'm not talking about the media.

00:46:39.080 I'm talking about I'm talking about these people right here.

00:46:41.640 There's no group and they're going to be taken really well care of.

00:46:44.920 That's very important to me.

00:46:46.040 And on the war in Ukraine, are you going to be meeting with President Zelenskyy?

00:46:50.360 He's asked to meet with you this weekend.

00:46:51.640 Will you be meeting with him?

00:46:52.600 I don't know.

00:46:53.160 I don't know that he's going to the funeral or not.

00:46:55.560 But I just hope he gets this thing solved.

00:46:59.240 Because we're losing about, think of this, 5,000.

00:47:03.240 I was saying 2,500.

00:47:05.320 Everyone was telling me that's low.

00:47:07.320 5,000 soldiers are being killed every week, approximately.

00:47:11.960 Think of that.

00:47:12.760 Every week, 5,000 soldiers.

00:47:15.080 But let's say from 3,000 to 5,000 are being killed.

00:47:18.920 They're Russian and Ukrainian.

00:47:20.280 They're not Americans, but they're Russian, but they're people.

00:47:23.320 And they're humans.

00:47:24.680 They're human beings.

00:47:25.480 They have families.

00:47:26.200 They wave goodbye to their son.

00:47:28.200 And then they get a call that the son's no longer there.

00:47:31.080 It's a vicious war.

00:47:33.160 And if I can help solve it, you know, we're not losing our soldiers,

00:47:36.760 but we're losing soldiers, a lot of people.

00:47:39.240 And if I can solve it because of a certain ability, that would be great.

00:47:42.440 And if it doesn't happen, I will say that I think Russia is ready.

00:47:48.040 And a lot of people said Russia wanted to go for the whole thing.

00:47:51.640 And they've, I think we have a deal with Russia. 0.81

00:47:56.200 We have to get a deal with Zelenskyy. 1.00

00:47:58.600 And I hope that Zelenskyy, I thought it might be easier to deal with Zelenskyy so far. 1.00

00:48:02.840 It's been harder, but that's okay.

00:48:05.000 It's all right.

00:48:05.720 But I think we have a deal with both.

00:48:09.640 I hope they do it because I'm looking to save.

00:48:12.200 And, you know, we spend a lot of money, but this is about a lot of humanity.

00:48:16.840 This is the worst.

00:48:18.680 I get the pictures, the satellite pictures.

00:48:21.480 I've never seen anything like it of the fields after these, some of these battles.

00:48:25.640 It's horrible that it's going for nothing.

00:48:28.280 We would have never had this problem.

00:48:29.640 You would have never had that war if I were president.

00:48:31.880 I guarantee you that.

00:48:32.680 And for four years, you didn't have it.

00:48:35.880 Are you going to meet the Vladimir Putin in Saudi Arabia?

00:48:40.520 It's possible, but most likely not.

00:48:42.600 I think we'll meet with him shortly thereafter.

00:48:45.080 What is this that I'm going to present to the...

00:48:47.160 Federal Reserve Chairman Jamal Powell, during the Biden administration in the campaign,

00:48:53.560 with inflation raging, he lowered interest rates two times.

00:48:58.120 That's right.

00:48:58.760 Now, with two consecutive months of inflation being down, all economic theory you learned

00:49:05.240 in the eighth grade says it's time to cut rates when inflation is down.

00:49:09.240 You're right.

00:49:09.560 He's not done that.

00:49:10.760 Have you had any direct conversation with him?

00:49:13.000 No, I haven't.

00:49:13.480 I haven't called him.

00:49:14.360 I might call him.

00:49:15.720 I haven't called him, but I believe he's making a mistake by not lowering interest rates.

00:49:19.960 And I think as well as we're doing, we do much better.

00:49:23.160 He's keeping rates too high.

00:49:25.640 He historically has been late, except when it came to Biden.

00:49:29.240 He was recommended by a certain person that I'm not particularly happy with.

00:49:34.440 But he will hopefully do the right thing.

00:49:38.840 The right thing is to lower interest rates.

00:49:40.600 So we'll see what happens.

00:49:41.560 I think we're sitting on something that's going to be very good.

00:49:44.440 With all the tariff money starting to come in, our country is going to be doing really well.

00:49:49.240 And hopefully he'll be...

00:49:50.760 We don't have inflation.

00:49:52.280 Grocers are down.

00:49:53.800 When I first came in, you people were there.

00:49:56.760 They hit me with the first day that I was president.

00:49:59.240 Somebody started screaming at me that eggs are up.

00:50:01.800 I said, I've just, I just got here.

00:50:03.960 And in the first week, they were going crazy.

00:50:05.880 You remember that, Linda?

00:50:06.840 Yes.

00:50:07.240 They were going crazy.

00:50:08.200 They're saying egg prices or two.

00:50:10.040 I said, I'm here for one week.

00:50:12.760 Just leave me alone.

00:50:14.040 This is a fake news radio.

00:50:15.880 And I said, you know, what can I tell you?

00:50:18.600 But Brooke Rollins, our secretary of agriculture, and a group working with her have done an amazing

00:50:23.000 job.

00:50:23.320 And egg prices have gone down 87%.

00:50:27.320 Energy now is now $65 a barrel.

00:50:29.720 They have some energy selling gasoline for less than $2 in a couple of states, in Alabama,

00:50:35.560 a couple of great states.

00:50:37.160 But all over the country, it's way down from what it was six months ago, three months ago.

00:50:43.480 And that has a lot to do with the war.

00:50:47.560 You know, when Biden allowed energy to skyrocket, it just skyrocketed.

00:50:53.080 It was out of control.

00:50:55.400 Russia made a lot more money because they make their money on energy.

00:50:58.840 And I kept saying, you know, he supposedly wants to end the war,

00:51:01.480 but he lets energy go out of control.

00:51:03.720 Well, I've gotten it.

00:51:05.000 We are drilling like crazy right now.

00:51:07.080 And we have it down to $65 a barrel.

00:51:09.960 It went up to almost $100 a barrel.

00:51:13.160 And at that number, Putin and Russia made a lot of money.

00:51:17.560 So I think one of the reasons, look, I think he has a certain respect for me.

00:51:22.440 But one of the reasons, one of the big reasons is oil prices are down.

00:51:25.640 I think this is a good time to get the war settled. 0.89

00:51:27.480 Thank you.

00:51:27.960 Thank you.

00:51:28.280 One more question.

00:51:28.920 Thank you for that question.

00:51:30.120 For those of us that live here in the district, you said when you came in,

00:51:33.960 you were going to make Washington, D.C. great again.

00:51:36.760 Right.

00:51:37.240 One of the issues we've got right now is we understand there might be an imminent deal

00:51:41.240 between the owner of the Washington football team, whatever you want to call them now, commanders,

00:51:46.600 and locally in getting the Redskins back to D.C. and RFK Stadium.

00:51:52.600 That's on federal property.

00:51:54.520 Right.

00:51:54.840 Are you going to be involved in that negotiation?

00:51:57.160 Yeah.

00:51:57.480 And would one of the stipulations be they change their name back to the Redskins?

00:52:01.720 Oh, I see.

00:52:02.200 Well, that's a little bit, nobody's asked for that one.

00:52:05.640 Look, I think when the Indian population is a great part of this country, great heritage,

00:52:14.760 and we're talking about Massapequa, Long Island, the Chiefs, they call them the Chiefs,

00:52:19.560 or the Kansas City Chiefs.

00:52:20.760 They're not changing their name, but great team, great people, great owners, great coaching,

00:52:25.960 quarterback.

00:52:26.760 I love the quarterback, like his girlfriend, too, and his wife.

00:52:30.920 His wife is great. She's been a big fan. His quarterback's mother is incredible. I like that

00:52:39.160 team. They're called the Chiefs. And frankly, I see nothing wrong with it. They call them the Warriors,

00:52:45.640 and not that team, but a lot of other teams. And all of these Indian surnames and different names.

00:52:51.960 And I'm saying that I think that's a positive thing. And when you go back to India, they pull 1.00

00:52:57.560 this. They don't know why these names are being taken off. They're trying to, I think it's degrading

00:53:03.480 to the Indian population. And it's a great population. And they like when they're, you know, 1.00

00:53:08.760 called by various names. Now, Washington, the Redskins, perhaps, that's a little different,

00:53:15.400 a little bit different. But I can tell you that I spoke to people of Indian heritage that love that

00:53:21.320 name, and they love that team. And I think it's a much, you know, I think it's a superior name to

00:53:25.800 what they have right now. And it had heritage behind it. It had something special. But a lot

00:53:30.360 of the names having to do with, you know, different places, not just Indians. But I think it's,

00:53:35.560 they changed the name of the Cleveland Indians. Why would you take the name Indians off the Cleveland

00:53:41.160 Indians? And now it's called the Cleveland something else. Right? Guardians. It just doesn't

00:53:47.800 make sense to me. So, you know, we're about bringing common sense back to this country.

00:53:53.720 And it may be popular or unpopular, what I'm saying. And I've just said to you,

00:53:57.720 he's a nice guy. He got a lot out of me on this one. But I think most people agree with me.

00:54:03.560 I think it really is demeaning to Indians. But to change the name of the Cleveland Indians as an

00:54:09.080 example to the Cleveland Guardians is not, it's not the same. And I'm sure it has an impact on the

00:54:15.160 team. Thank you, sir. Elon Musk said he'll be stepping back from his work with Doge a little

00:54:20.600 bit and only dedicating maybe a day or two a week to it. How long would you like to see that

00:54:24.760 continue? And how would you like to see him continue? Well, first of all, I can't speak

00:54:29.560 more highly about any individual. He's an incredible guy. He's a brilliant guy. He's a wonderful

00:54:34.920 person. I've seen him with his family. I've seen him with a lot of his children. He's got a lot of

00:54:40.040 children. He treats him good. He loves his children. But he's a brilliant guy. And he was

00:54:48.280 a tremendous help both in the campaign and in what he's done with Doge. And, you know, we're talking

00:54:56.200 about almost $200 billion and rising fast because many of the things that we were looking at are now

00:55:02.680 being found out to be fact. It's terrible. I mean, the fraud, the waste, the abuse, the

00:55:11.240 everything that's happened is just terrible. So I also know that he was treated very unfairly by the,

00:55:18.840 I guess he caught the public by some of the public, not by all of it. But he makes an incredible car,

00:55:24.040 makes everything he does is good. But they took it out on Tesla. And I just thought it was so unfair

00:55:31.560 because he's trying to help the country. But he has helped the country. I also want him to make

00:55:36.280 sure that he's going to be in great shape. And I know he is. I mean, he's going to be,

00:55:40.040 he's going to do great. He loves the country. He didn't need to do this. He did it.

00:55:44.840 And I told him, I said, you know, whenever you're ready, I'd like to keep him for a long time. But

00:55:51.320 whenever you're ready, he's an exceptional guy. When you see those rockets go up and come back and

00:55:56.120 land in the same gantry, nobody else can do that but this man. So he's just an incredible person.

00:56:03.160 And he's a friend of mine. And he's a nice person, too. He's a very nice person. He really helped the

00:56:07.320 country, saved us a lot of money. And I heard him say that he'll start easing, which is always,

00:56:13.640 he was always at this time going to ease out. And when he goes back to Tesla, that'll be taken care of.

00:56:20.120 It was just, it's artificial. These were sick people that thought they were doing something.

00:56:25.720 He really, he's a great patriot. And he should, really, it should be, it shouldn't be the way.

00:56:32.520 That should never have happened to him. And I will tell you right now, he makes a great product.

00:56:37.960 He makes a great product. It's a great car. It's great everything. Starlink is great.

00:56:42.680 What he does is good. He's doing medical things that are amazing. And we have to, at some point,

00:56:49.400 let him go and do that. And we expected to be doing it about this time. And, but I'll talk to,

00:56:55.720 I'll talk to Elon about it. Thank you for the question.

00:56:58.040 Mr. President, I have a second question.

00:57:00.440 Canada has an election coming up. How, do you have a prediction for that?

00:57:03.800 And what do you think the results of that?

00:57:05.160 With respect to Canada?

00:57:06.200 With the negotiations?

00:57:06.680 Oh, I don't want to predict other nations' elections. It's tough enough doing this one.

00:57:14.520 Look, I love the Canadian people. I like Canada. But it's costing us 1.00

00:57:21.400 200 billion dollars a year to support Canada. 200 billion. And I say, why are we doing that?

00:57:27.320 You know what? We can make our own cars. We have more energy than they do. We have

00:57:31.800 more energy than anybody in the world. We don't need their lumber, obviously. We have

00:57:36.920 more lumber. We have a lot of lumber. We have a lot of everything that they sell us.

00:57:41.560 But in particular cars, they took a large percentage of the car making. And I want to

00:57:46.200 bring it back to this country. I really don't want cars from Canada. So when I put tariffs on Canada,

00:57:51.400 they're paying 25 percent. But that could go up in terms of cars. When we put tariffs on, all we're

00:57:58.120 doing is we're saying, we don't want your cars in all due respect. We want really to make our own

00:58:05.400 cars, which is what we're doing in record numbers. Now, you know, we're going to be at record levels

00:58:09.320 in a very near future because of all the plants, the car plants that are being built. And I'd rather

00:58:14.840 see them made in Michigan and made in South Carolina and made in different states. Tennessee,

00:58:20.840 we have a lot of great car making states and we have some that aren't car making yet. But they

00:58:26.520 will soon be car making states. And that's what I want to see for our country. At the same time,

00:58:32.520 I want to help Canada as to I have spoken to the current prime minister. He was very, very nice,

00:58:40.120 I will say. Very nice. We had a couple of very nice conversations. Very good. But I don't think

00:58:45.400 it's appropriate for me to get involved in their election. This deal that you have with Russia,

00:58:52.600 does it include recognizing Russia's sovereignty over Crimea? Well, everything is good. Look, 0.99

00:59:00.920 I just want to see the war end. I don't care if they're both happy. They both signed an agreement.

00:59:07.640 I have no favorites. I don't want to have any favorites. I want to have a deal done. I want to

00:59:12.280 save their lives. Now, with that being said, we're spending hundreds of billions of dollars

00:59:17.960 through Biden. Biden should have never let that war happen. We're spending hundreds of billions,

00:59:23.400 maybe $350 billion we've given to Ukraine. And we could use that money right here. So I'd like to see

00:59:31.560 that. But most importantly right now is when I see the pictures, the satellite pictures of the battlefield,

00:59:37.400 if I can stop that because of an ability I have to do things, I want to see if I can do that.

00:59:45.080 Mr. President, on tariffs, you just mentioned that 25% could go up on cars in terms of Canada. Does

00:59:51.480 that mean that you're considering changes to the auto tariffs and auto parts? No,

00:59:55.080 we're not considering it now, but at some point it could go up. Yeah, because again,

00:59:59.000 we don't really want Canada to make cars for us, to put it bluntly. We want to make our own cars,

01:00:05.400 and we're now equipped to do that. They took a lot of our car business. Mexico, too,

01:00:10.360 took a lot of our car business. We want to make the cars here. I'm running this country. I'm not

01:00:14.360 running Canada. And that's why I asked Trudeau, who I call Governor Trudeau, affectionately,

01:00:22.360 but I asked him, why are we spending $200 billion to support Canada, to subsidize Canada? And he was

01:00:30.520 unable to answer the question. I mean, why are we doing that? And I have to be honest. As a state,

01:00:37.720 it works great. As a nation, considering the fact that most of the nation, you know, 95% of Canada,

01:00:45.480 what they do is they buy from us, and they sell to us. They sell to us. If we didn't buy their oil,

01:00:52.200 if we didn't buy their oil, and we don't need their oil. We have more oil than anyone, but we don't need

01:00:57.240 their oil. We don't need their lumber. We don't need their cars. We don't need anything. So I said,

01:01:01.560 why are we doing this? Why are we spending $200 billion? It doesn't make sense. If we needed

01:01:06.120 something, that would be a different subject. So I'm working well with Canada. We're doing very well.

01:01:13.720 We're working on a deal. We'll see what happens. But again, you know, why, representing this country,

01:01:21.000 why are we spending $200 billion to support and subsidize another country? Because if they didn't

01:01:30.600 have us, and if we didn't spend that money, as Trudeau told me, they would cease to exist. He said

01:01:37.400 that to me. They would cease to exist, which is true, certainly as a country. On tourism, there's been

01:01:44.040 a steep drop off in international travel to the United States. It was down 12% last month,

01:01:50.840 down even more from Western Europe. Why do you think that there are fewer people suddenly who want

01:01:56.760 to travel to the United States? Well, there could be a little, you know,

01:01:59.480 there's a little nationalism there, I guess, perhaps. It's not a big deal. But, you know,

01:02:04.120 with the dollar being where it is, because, you know, China would always fight for having a low dollar.

01:02:10.280 Japan would always fight for having a low dollar, meaning a low yen, or in the case of China, the

01:02:16.920 yuan. They'd always want to have China. I'd speak to President Xi a lot. I'd say it's unfair that you,

01:02:23.640 you know, your yuan is so low. I'd call up a great man, Prime Minister Abe, great, great man, Shinzo,

01:02:33.000 who was unfortunately assassinated. And I used to tell you, he was a good friend of mine. I used to say,

01:02:39.160 Shinzo, you got to, you can't let your yen go down. It makes it very hard for us to sell tractors.

01:02:44.280 It makes it very hard for us to get tourism. And our dollar is a little bit on the low side.

01:02:51.320 And that means that a lot of tourism is going to come in. But I could see a little bit of nationalism

01:02:56.520 at work. And I can see it likewise with us, not wanting to go to certain countries. But that will

01:03:03.000 work out very easily. Do you think some people are scared to come here because they hear the stories of

01:03:07.640 tourists who are detained for a few days or even a week or two?

01:03:12.360 No, we treat our tourists great. We're the tourism capital of the world. There's nobody,

01:03:18.280 no place like this. And there may be a little bit of nationalism, but I doubt it. I actually doubt it.

01:03:24.520 Yeah. Mr. President,

01:03:25.560 has there been any direct contact between the U.S. and China or trade at all?

01:03:29.640 Yeah, of course. And every day, every day. And then secondly, would you support a millionaire tax?

01:03:37.160 I think it would be very disruptive because the April 15th tax deadline is coming and it's coming

01:03:45.000 fast. Do you have unfiled tax returns? Can't pay the IRS. The IRS is more than aggressive and the

01:03:51.880 more aggressive than ever. And the longer you wait, the worse it gets. Wage garnishments,

01:03:56.520 bank levies, even property seizures are all on the table. You need to get ahead of this. You need to

01:04:03.640 get ahead of it today. But going up against the IRS alone is a big time mistake. Take my advice.

01:04:09.640 Call the experts at Tax Network USA. They know the system. They have an edge, a preferred direct line

01:04:16.600 to the IRS. They know which agents to deal with and which ones to avoid. Whether you owe $10,000 or

01:04:46.600 But you need to move. You need to move fast because April 15th is already here. Remember,

01:05:25.160 Hey, War Room. Hope you're all doing well. My name is Trevor Comstock. I'm one of the co-creators

01:05:29.480 of Sacred Human. And I wanted to share just a little bit more about our brand for those who may not know

01:05:33.880 of us yet. But about six months ago, we decided to launch Sacred Human with really the simple mission

01:05:39.800 being to provide American-made natural supplements without all the artificial nonsense. So unfortunately,

01:05:47.160 as many of you know, a lot of these big corporate supplements will include things like preservatives,

01:05:52.280 artificial ingredients, and other additives that really aren't benefiting your health.

01:05:56.840 So that's why we created Sacred Human, really trying to fill this gap of quality supplements.

01:06:01.880 And of course, the beef liver being our flagship products. For those who don't know,

01:06:06.440 beef liver is loaded with highly bioavailable ingredients such as vitamin A, B12, zinc, CoQ10,

01:06:13.560 etc. And because it is 100% grass-fed and natural, your body is able to absorb these nutrients far

01:06:20.920 better than taking any other synthetic multivitamin or any other synthetic vitamin in general. So we have

01:06:28.040 some other amazing products, but if you'd like to check us out, you can go to sacredhumanhealth.com

01:06:32.840 and cheers to your health!
