00:00:00.000 Monday 11 August in the year of our Lord 2025 we are live at the White House press briefing room
00:00:09.580 for historic press briefing I believe President United States is going to come down momentarily
00:00:14.580 we're going to cut to that and we've got the ambient noise right there you can hear we're
00:00:18.580 going to go and actually pick it up as soon as the president comes at the podium so here's what's
00:00:24.400 going to happen today President Trump has already put out a series of tweets and talked to people
00:00:28.060 and made this pronouncement over the weekend that because of increasing crime homelessness
00:00:32.320 just general filth and out of control district Columbia he's actually going to take charge of
00:00:39.940 the district of Columbia today actually they had I think FBI agents and drug enforcement agents
00:00:47.440 yesterday even walking the mall but today we're going to get a much more formal declaration I
00:00:51.600 think some city officials may be there Brian Glenn is in this is one of the most packed the briefing
00:00:57.580 room is always packed Brian our own Brian Glennson a tweet just a few moments ago that showed how
00:01:03.260 packed it was let me bring in Dave Bratt Dave you've been a member of Congress before you know how
00:01:07.900 sensitive things are between the district the house in the executive branch but this this city's
00:01:15.140 so out of control right now and they talk about stats and crime stats are down that's because stuff's
00:01:19.860 not reported I think it's pretty generally accepted by people that live in the district of course the
00:01:25.440 war rooms main studios and headquarters are right there near the Supreme Court Capitol Hill everything
00:01:32.100 about DC right now appears it's out of control your thoughts sir before the president pops in
00:01:37.300 yeah well in Congress you know we lived under very lax times national security for the White House was
00:01:45.320 lax 9-11 the tragedy woke everybody up but DC is on another level right that's a local government level
00:01:54.900 supposedly but there's a lot of responsibilities and a lot of important people there that need to be
00:02:00.060 protected and then with the onset of the censorship regime under Biden security was just a misnomer
00:02:09.520 right it was controlled by the left fences were put up willy-nilly in support of political projects
00:02:15.700 and so we need a return to just normalcy the rule of law and I think that's what's going to happen
00:02:22.320 here and you know the left will go you know crazy and their brains are going to explode and they're
00:02:27.920 going to you know bashes and whatever they cannot give any examples of the rule of law being violated
00:02:34.380 that's what they're always missing right even with Tulsi Gabbard and these major legal initiatives that
00:02:39.920 are going over to the grand jury now into the Department of Justice the mainstream media just yells and
00:02:45.200 says oh my word this guy and they never note the thousands of pages of detail where the law has been
00:02:51.360 violated so this is systematic it's it's not just DC the left has been against police and and the
00:03:00.120 sheriffs uh across the country under Soros initiatives and everybody knows this yeah and
00:03:05.320 so we're trying to frame it but it's got to be framed I think more generally I think look and I
00:03:11.260 think this is perfect I think the president's going to lay out today an entire program for the district
00:03:14.940 of Columbia because you the taxpayers pay for the district of Columbia uh it's now time to to install
00:03:21.380 good order and discipline but I hope this is a template for Los Angeles Chicago and New York I tell you
00:03:27.320 what we're going to do we're going to play we're going to try to we're going to attempt to put our
00:03:30.300 cold open in right now as soon as any uh Caroline Levitt or the president coming we're going to cut
00:03:36.580 even if we have to cut out of the cold open so let's go ahead and we have a few minute cold open
00:03:39.800 because there's so much going on over the weekend we want to get you up to speed and and kind of kick
00:03:45.020 off uh the news week here let's go ahead and play the cold open like I said we'll come and cut in
00:03:49.480 immediately if uh the president or Caroline or any official comes to the podium
00:03:54.260 there's also big news overseas president Donald Trump and Russian president Vladimir Putin are set
00:04:00.220 to meet this Friday in Alaska to discuss Russia's war on Ukraine the president told reporters on
00:04:06.600 Friday that a potential land swap could be part of a ceasefire deal but Ukrainian president
00:04:12.580 Volodymyr Zelenskyy responded on Saturday saying Ukraine will quote not give their land to the occupier
00:04:19.700 adding that Russia cannot be rewarded for its actions it's still unclear if Zelenskyy will
00:04:26.280 attend the Alaska meeting but senior U.S. officials tell NBC News it is quote absolutely possible
00:04:32.620 meanwhile President Trump's former national security advisor is criticizing the upcoming summit
00:04:38.880 calling it a win for Putin it's very gracious of Putin to come to former Russian America for this
00:04:48.800 summit this is not quite as bad as Trump inviting the Taliban to Camp David to talk about the peace
00:04:57.120 negotiations in Afghanistan but it certainly reminds one of that the only better place for Putin in
00:05:04.080 Alaska would be if the summit were being held in Moscow so the initial setup I think is a great victory
00:05:10.760 for Putin he's a rogue leader of a pariah state and he's going to be welcomed into the United States
00:05:16.640 does not appear to be a clear end in sight for this redistricting standoff that's going on in the
00:05:22.540 state of Texas now Republicans will try to move forward on redistricting once again today when the
00:05:28.000 Texas House reconvenes at 1 p.m central time but Democrats have shown no signs of backing down from
00:05:35.180 their strategy as dozens of Democratic state lawmakers still remain out of the state in order to prevent a
00:05:41.640 vote on redistricting from happen now there is a very real time crunch right now the current special
00:05:47.460 session is set to end on August 19th so Democrats are trying to run out the clock but as you heard
00:05:53.700 Texas Governor Greg Abbott there he is intent on calling special session after special session until
00:06:00.060 they can get this redistricting push across the finish line and at the same time as Texas is waging
00:06:06.620 this redistricting fight we have blue states who are also talking about their own redistricting
00:06:13.100 efforts a lot of eyes will this week will be on the state of California as they are planning to unveil
00:06:18.760 new maps this week that could potentially redraw up to five congressional districts to pick up more
00:06:25.360 Democratic seats the California governor has said that he wants to see voters vote on that issue
00:06:30.640 come November but Texas Governor Greg Abbott has brushed off some of the concerns that some of
00:06:37.460 those blue state efforts might lead to more Democratic and less Republican seats where Israeli Prime Minister
00:06:43.100 Benjamin Netanyahu is defending his decision to expand Israel's offensive into Gaza during a press
00:06:50.560 conference yesterday Netanyahu said Israel quote has no choice but to finish the job and complete the
00:06:57.020 defeat of Hamas and expects to complete the new offensive fairly quickly Netanyahu's office also released a
00:07:04.460 statement saying that he spoke with President Trump yesterday the pair discussed Israel's plan to take
00:07:10.900 over the remaining Hamas strongholds in Gaza while Netanyahu thanked Trump for his steadfast support
00:07:19.840 meanwhile Al Jazeera claims Israel intentionally struck a tent housing journalists in Gaza City
00:07:28.360 yesterday killing five employees of the network Israel says one of those killed was a member of Hamas
00:07:35.520 a claim Al Jazeera and the journalists themselves previously and strenuously denied Al Jazeera which is
00:07:44.220 funded by Qatar's government said 10 of its staff have been killed by Israel since 2023 I've had it with
00:07:52.180 white people that triple trumped yeah that have the nerve and the audacity to walk into a Mexican
00:08:03.600 restaurant a Chinese restaurant an Indian restaurant go to perhaps their gay hairdresser I don't think you

00:09:25.320 plan to make dc quote more beautiful than ever involves getting rid of all homeless people
00:09:30.560 he says the city is seeking uh seeing a spike in crime but the really the numbers say otherwise
00:09:36.320 police statistics show a 26 drop in violent crime over the past 12 months according to the department
00:09:43.280 of energy blackouts could increase by 10 000 over the next few years it's because of massive energy

00:12:28.700 that make sure you're not homeless dave top secret dave walk us through uh the official kind of uh in dc
00:12:37.380 what's the official structure of all this what the president's team are dealing with this morning as
00:12:42.880 they announced they're essentially going to take over uh federalize much of the district for safety
00:12:49.860 concerns sir yeah well first i i just have to do a quick reaction to that cold open the the white
00:12:56.580 piece is so overcooked the the overt racism coming from the hyper left uh it's just absurd but i was most
00:13:03.900 offended at the assault upon people with big guts i i work out so hard and you know it's just
00:13:10.480 that's where she went over the line all of us i she hold it hold it hang on hold it but if you hold
00:13:16.580 it if you're going to go there if you're going to go there i've got i've got a problem i got a problem
00:13:21.100 with i got a problem with her on cracker barrel cracker barrel has totally you know redone the interior
00:13:27.120 of many they've made it they've ruined cracker barrel by getting away from the original cracker
00:13:33.300 barrel country store with uh the lattice work and all the things people loved about it and they've
00:13:38.720 gone to like an open they've made it uh they've made it bullpen society right the open uh the open
00:13:45.080 bullpens that they have in these companies that they kind of ruin it so no she's a she's a hater
00:13:50.040 from bravo and everybody knows oh it's something bravo that's why wow many of these shows many of these
00:13:55.000 shows are being canceled uh continue on sir though by the way the cold open was there to to make sure
00:14:01.300 you got fired up on a monday morning i cannot understand why they still bring in john bolton
00:14:06.220 who's a disgraced fired former national security advisor that has trump derangement syndrome at the
00:14:13.000 worst thing because you're not getting an even-handed you're not getting a smart analysis but we wanted
00:14:17.420 to show you right there of what went down over the weekend on both russia and gaza and of course
00:14:22.680 president trump we're going to do uh you know kind of special reports every day in the run-up
00:14:27.280 to this historic meeting in um in in alaska uh but continue on about dc because today president
00:14:35.440 trump is starting the week historically essentially putting good order and discipline into the imperial
00:14:42.040 capital uh and then he will finish the week in alaska cutting i think at the beginning of a rapprochement
00:14:48.320 uh with uh with russia but dave brett uh go ahead and continue about dc yeah well you know i i let in
00:14:56.380 with the uh the assault on the rule of law in general and of course you know i didn't mention the
00:15:01.080 key word it's the deep state and then you see that rant from the far left that's what you're dealing with
00:15:05.760 uh when we're talking about uh the rule of law and so yeah i i want to double down uh that person needs
00:15:12.220 to be calmed down and we just need to have the rule of law in effect and the the the idea that we
00:15:17.620 browbeat blacks and browns that's the most absurd thing she is the one who's being racist and saying
00:15:23.460 whites should not have equal uh treatment under the rule of law uh everybody at cracker barrel i know
00:15:29.120 is good christian people out here in lynchburg uh we believe every person on this planet is made in the
00:15:33.660 image of god uh but every buddy has to follow the law from god in our in our city but let me get to
00:15:40.380 the technical piece on dc uh and it's a unique uh thing washington dc is not part of the federal
00:15:46.660 government but serves as its seat it's a federal district distinct from any state created under
00:15:53.940 article 1 section 8 of the u.s constitution to house the national government so there's kind of
00:15:59.920 the unique status there congress has ultimate authority over dc and while it has some local
00:16:06.080 governance like a mayor council it lacks full statehood or voting representatives in congress
00:16:10.400 the federal government operates within dc but the district itself is a separate entity not an official
00:16:15.980 component of the government like a department or agency and so uh it's a little complex uh but you
00:16:22.540 know trump's got the justice department they've got smart lawyers uh and we'll get the story straight
00:16:27.420 on what goes here but it's out of control there's no debate on that part and i like to see trump
00:16:32.820 taking the initiative on these things where people want to live safely i went to high school in
00:16:36.500 minneapolis uh minnesota uh back when i was there just completely normal now it's been
00:16:42.120 it's overturned uh with just i i don't even know how to put it it's just been it's it's it's not the
00:16:49.380 old minnesota i knew and uh it's a tragedy there's crime all over the place there all these new mayors
00:16:55.580 new york city we got a you know full-fledged communist running uh the cia fbi uh pieces
00:17:04.560 taken on by tulsi going over to justice uh are the tip of what's wrong right these folks were
00:17:10.840 leading and not prosecuting the law across the country in these cities they were letting it go
00:17:16.300 under the biden logic and so we need to turn that around and get back to making america great and lawful
00:17:23.440 again well no the sanctuary cities i mean they're they're up in your face and people that um you
00:17:31.020 know if we can pull up to my producer george will on bill maher i've got it up on getter george will
00:17:36.920 on bill maher on uh friday night said oh i hope uh you know he's a socialist and uh i hope he wins
00:17:43.660 because they'll show people the failure of socialism what's happening in new york is not socialism this is
00:17:49.640 very much what's in dc in chicago and los angeles you have a neo-marxist or full marxist uh particularly
00:17:57.420 in if not so much in economics cultural marxism coupled with a radical jihad and trying to make
00:18:05.220 like in for instance in these in new york trying to remake the police force into a muslim police force
00:18:10.360 this is what's happening if you think uh zorhan and that crew what when they win do you if you think
00:18:16.860 they're going to give it up and on any election you're kidding yourselves they're going to it's
00:18:21.860 going to have to be taken from them it's not going to be it's not going to once they're in
00:18:25.540 they're going to be like the bolsheviks they're not going to give up people are and particularly
00:18:29.660 the donors because i've spent time with these guys they have no clue of what they've created
00:18:34.300 this is the thing about these situations in the united states right now the donor class
00:18:40.920 progressive and quote-unquote conservative have created these situations and now this is why
00:18:47.140 president trump he's going to start in dc i hope this is a template for going around the country
00:18:52.900 and particularly these massive metropolitan areas like los angeles chicago and new york you have three
00:18:57.260 the greatest cities in the world three world cities that are essentially run by um by uh insurrectionists
00:19:04.620 that fail to comply with any federal law whatsoever and it's only spinning out of control more not not
00:19:10.340 less yes you had the bad hombres and we've done a very good job of trying to get the criminals out
00:19:14.940 but that's only the surface of the problem that is not the problem itself today in dc you're seeing
00:19:19.920 this is why it's so historic this is why this uh this uh briefing room is packed also remember
00:19:26.900 to a person in there even as progressive as as some of the trump hating derangement they have
00:19:35.240 every one of these reporters wants more safety in the streets of dc because they understand it's
00:19:40.960 totally out of control day bratt your thoughts sir yeah and i i just want to extend it you know for
00:19:46.860 some reason illegal immigration and the border invasion just doesn't grab uh the american people
00:19:53.000 across the spectrum and that you know we need comms right the uh the other day we were showing we're
00:19:57.980 talking about you know uh bobby kennedy's great work and there's not enough comms there's not enough
00:20:02.760 comms on the assault also the mexican cartel issue that trump is going over this is not abstract
00:20:08.620 under the biden regime there's anywhere from 300 000 to 500 000 missing children uh half of these uh
00:20:18.240 maybe more are young girls that are being trafficked and uh prostituted you know you can't the the average
00:20:25.440 american mind the suburbs they don't want to picture this their minds cannot handle this uh but our our
00:20:31.520 congress leaders and our senate where are they right when you want tax cuts which i'm in favor of right
00:20:37.200 you got to have the economy humming and the motor running so i'm not making a cut against it but i'm
00:20:41.900 just saying whenever you want tax cuts boy the tv cameras are lit we're on fox news we're all over
00:20:47.440 the country to get those tax cuts passed we got 300 000 missing young girls and boys folks what in the
00:20:55.240 world is going on in this country and trump is standing between us and total chaos and barbarism
00:21:03.520 right and so the idea that he's a bad guy and a despot you've got to be kidding he was voted in
00:21:09.080 precisely for this reason to end the border invasion to end this chaos to bring back the rule of law which
00:21:15.880 also is very good for business and these folks who say you know just we want cheap labor you got to be
00:21:21.580 kidding me you're not looking out for the welfare of the country or its people well i hope this july
00:21:26.580 there is a global summit of brics nations in rio de janeiro the block of emerging superpowers including
00:21:33.100 china russia india and persia are meeting with the goal of displacing the united states dollar as the
00:21:40.140 global currency they're calling this the rio reset as brics nations push forward with their plans

00:26:36.900 artificial intelligence upon currency particularly fiat currency so make sure you go check it out
00:26:41.860 today uh the president is going to be um is going to be um arriving uh i think momentarily the reason
00:26:50.180 uh dave i think they chose the briefing room instead of having a press gaggle in the uh press gaggle in
00:26:56.720 the oval i believe i saw him handing out some handouts prior to this i think they may use the i think they
00:27:03.360 may use the monitors here uh to put up uh some audio visual maybe a couple of uh briefing points a deck
00:27:10.100 uh maybe talk about some statistics uh to get uh to get up to everybody up to speed on exactly what he's
00:27:17.740 doing also the technical aspects of it i would assume that either the attorney general will be here or
00:27:24.120 somebody from main justice or maybe even uh the great judge janine piero who has uh who has uh now
00:27:32.720 been sworn in she's been confirmed as the u.s attorney your thoughts sir
00:27:36.920 yeah well uh as you know you had john lott on the other day uh and he's uh one of the best everybody
00:27:44.980 ought to look up his work on crime in the inner cities uh who it hurts who it helps uh the causes of
00:27:51.560 it and of course it decimates uh the african-american neighborhoods uh the hispanic neighborhoods no one
00:27:58.340 ever goes at it that way right uh and the and then the the left goes off and uh you know we don't need
00:28:03.960 any guns you can't protect yourself under the second amendment uh and then the press is going to go off
00:28:09.060 on the deportation aspect of it today so i'm i'm glad they're getting into the statistics we we need a
00:28:15.800 good debate on what is causing this crime where is it coming from who's agitating for it who's paying
00:28:22.600 for it right there are leftist forces uh and we all know now right after uh usa id spilt it on the
00:28:30.600 deep state connections to ngos uh and so we've seen the connections between the incentivizing of crime
00:28:38.100 not the reduction of crime uh and then when they go off on their moral high horse about uh deportations
00:28:44.700 how mean it is the mean one uh all political views are my own was the biden administration
00:28:50.380 right they're the ones that caused this right it's like missing the federal reserve causing all the
00:28:55.460 problems because it's complex who caused all of this it's the 20 million illegal uh that have caused
00:29:01.760 this crisis and for the left to come about and say if you want to fix the problem you're guilty uh no
00:29:08.160 sorry folks why don't you go apologize to the 300,000 missing children in this country that are
00:29:14.420 being trafficked and prostituted and can you imagine what their families are going through
00:29:19.080 god help us all yeah by the way a good announcement our own colonel john mills you've known uh colonel
00:29:27.940 mills over the years these great briefings he would give us on taiwan and and cyber he was sworn in
00:29:33.540 today as assistant secretary for international cyberspace security over at the state department
00:29:39.060 so another one plays colonel john mills uh starts work today sworn in and he is at uh he is in his
00:29:45.160 office and and and hard at work i want to play uh so and if if the president comes in at any time
00:29:50.860 we're playing the clip we're immediately cut out of it let's go and play the george will
00:29:53.780 on bill maher from friday night this must be horrible for a guy like you who you spent your
00:29:59.580 whole life talking about how government tries to do too much which it does and spends too much
00:30:03.900 and here you have trump who is the republican who is aggrandizing more power than anybody as we just
00:30:11.500 talked about and on the other side you have the guy running in new york mandami right okay who's like
00:30:18.540 a straight-up communist i mean he is he's talks about you know the things that communists say i mean
00:30:24.300 he wants free grocery stores free buses i want him to win you want him to win yeah i think every 20 years
00:30:33.220 or so wait every 20 years or so we need a conspicuous confined experiment with socialism so we can crack it up
00:30:45.060 again socialist slogan used to be workers of the world unite you have nothing to lose but your chains
00:30:51.900 the new socialist slogan is trust us this time it won't be a mess
00:30:56.240 so you know when when the post-war labor government in britain was about to get started
00:31:05.320 one of their leading lights was a socialist named anurian bevan he said what could go wrong he said
00:31:11.340 we have a nation bedded on coal surrounded by fish it would take an organizational genius to have a
00:31:17.720 shortage of either in three years they had a shortage of both that's socialism
00:31:22.720 okay remember for years day brett they would have uh abc news and cbs and nbc when you had
00:31:33.500 fewer and fewer options than you have today with cable and of course all the podcasting
00:31:37.480 would have uh the two house conservatives they would put up would be george wolf there's a little bowtie
00:31:44.260 and then they would have uh david brooks right with his bowtie uh because they wanted uh america to think
00:31:52.060 that conservatives kind of these oddballs right these these buckley type intellectuals that um
00:31:58.700 uh you know uh were kind of a feat uh and uh in in in their thinking so kind of counter to the lived
00:32:07.240 experience of the american people all this kind of theoretical uh conservatism and this is why
00:32:12.480 the conservatives the country's in the shape it's in because the conservatives didn't fight for
00:32:17.120 anything they kind of got tapped along and they were part of what we call controlled opposition
00:32:20.720 never really took a stand they really threw down hard until trump came along and said hey but this
00:32:26.180 can't go on any longer and that's why today is so historic what's going to happen in the white
00:32:29.980 house briefing room the president of the united states is going to come down and um and uh maybe
00:32:34.820 with a couple of officials i think probably judge janine the u.s attorney for the district of
00:32:40.280 columbia or maybe someone from main justice uh and lay out make the case of why he's forced to do
00:32:46.880 this but he will clean dc up and i hope and i i believe part of that will be the beginning of mass
00:32:52.780 deportations of illegal aliens which are rife in the district of columbia because nothing's important
00:32:58.680 no laws are enforced there but i hope becomes a template for what can be done in los angeles and
00:33:04.000 in chicago and in new york and for george will to sit there he he has no clue this is remember he had
00:33:10.880 no clue about the rise of the populist nationalist movement or trump hated it from the beginning hates
00:33:16.160 president trump hates populist nationalism i mean literally just hates it and uh but was clueless
00:33:22.400 about the power of it uh the same thing about in uh in new york he doesn't understand this the red
00:33:28.300 green alliance this is marxism these marxists tied in with radical jihad these are not socialists
00:33:35.140 right they're not people that just want to oh have uh you know have a couple of new free programs
00:33:41.000 it's much deeper than that and it is going to be a massive massive massive problem you can tell by
00:33:47.020 the feckless nature of people trying to stop his election of how clueless the people in new york city
00:33:53.240 who brought this on they brought this on themselves they brought this on themselves and now they're
00:34:00.020 sitting there oh he's a socialist and if you see the the big donors and the billionaires in new york and
00:34:04.460 they're wandering all around they have no earthy idea what's about to devour them they brett your
00:34:09.300 thoughts sir yeah well i i think that's well put you know i i used to george will is a princeton man
00:34:17.540 right i went to princeton seminary you know 35 years ago or whatever it was now and uh him and brooks
00:34:25.540 and etc uh it it sounded like they had the right call for the day uh but upon inspection uh you know
00:34:33.420 they write about federalism and the rule of law etc but they're tied into right when he says i want
00:34:38.160 mom dami to win up in new york a certified communist what that means is he thinks he'll be safe in his
00:34:44.280 georgetown mansion uh but while the rest of us suffer under this experiment for a few years and then
00:34:50.220 the legacy of that experiment so no i i don't want him to win i i want to defeat that that set of ideas
00:34:57.080 that has hurt people all through history you cannot allow you know that's the way the establishment
00:35:01.820 views things and then will you know what you're saying he knew it turns out you know about all of
00:35:08.100 the deep state you know he knows his connections and everybody he knows he knows all state department
00:35:12.560 all usa id all the cia all of fbi that's his network and if he was a total truth teller and you
00:35:20.600 know one of the things that you know i like george personally but i would tell you he's missing the
00:35:24.320 faith dimension there's no fire in the belly uh for the the terror that is taking place on these
00:35:30.960 300 000 missing young kids right now george where are you on this there this border invasion is causing
00:35:37.620 massive human pain we're at wars across the board with massive uh government overreach being led by the
00:35:44.900 cia and the state department and the deep state george knows all of it and so his moral silence here
00:35:51.060 george uh you're complicit in this uh and brooks you know you're you seem like a nice guy and all
00:35:57.600 that kind of thing but you know about all this and if you don't speak up in the face of what is clearly
00:36:02.240 evil uh to try to correct it and trump you can just you know be upset with him and he's not as
00:36:07.960 sophisticated as the princeton man and the harvard man or whatever uh but he is putting his life at
00:36:14.200 risk and has twice uh to get it right for the least amongst these and so as soon as you two step
00:36:21.180 up i i you know i wish we're all on the same team we should be if you're true conservatives you'd be
00:36:25.820 screaming and yelling uh for the guts of what the christian heart cries out for which is justice
00:36:30.600 uh for god's uh least of these and uh you're missing it you're both missing it and uh so is the swamp
00:36:36.960 and so is the deep state and religion i you know you don't want to overblow it because there's fakes
00:36:42.440 uh all over religion as well uh but boy if you'd put one you know truly religious humble person in
00:36:47.800 each agency to call you know baloney on the rest of them uh president trump i think you'd be very
00:36:53.000 well served if you look at the people who have turned on you ask if the people who have turned on
00:36:57.500 you are uh fully christian uh or have some other set of of grounding that they will not turn away from
00:37:05.540 right is there some foundational aspect to the rule of law and human goodness that they will never
00:37:11.080 sacrifice for money or power or whatever and if they're not of that standard you got to get rid
00:37:16.260 of them no this is you know president trump we just went through the 200th uh the commemoration of
00:37:23.340 the 200th day uh in the second term on friday and as we've been saying since the end of the first 100
00:37:29.460 days the time of testing is now because this is the convergence of all these issues right from the
00:37:35.660 invasion on the southern border to the ukraine you know the beginning of the uh the kinetic part of
00:37:40.740 world war ii both in gaza you know the middle east and in ukraine uh the financial situation um all of
00:37:47.780 it uh just some updates uh we're going to get to brian harrison maybe in the second hour but that might
00:37:52.540 not be happening this uh the press briefing having been delayed already 30 minutes we'll probably eat
00:37:58.380 uh at least sometime of the 11 o'clock hour anyway brian harrison we will get to texas on redistricting
00:38:04.960 long story short there's been a lot of rhetoric over the weekend in the house not much action they
00:38:10.200 still have their parking spaces if they still have their parking spaces you know not much else has been
00:38:15.660 done but he'll give us an update i believe we're seeing some movement out of the texas senate
00:38:21.900 lieutenant governor dan patrick has no you know he should call immediately a vote they've got a quorum
00:38:28.300 they have all the issues sorted out they should call it and let's at least pass the texas uh in
00:38:33.540 the texas senate this redistricting you know while we can i believe this is the last week of the special
00:38:38.900 session the governor's always said he's going to call another but for the governor and patrick and
00:38:43.840 the speaker of the house uh this has been a debacle of your own disorganization this could have been
00:38:48.820 taken care of very if you move with alacrity the reason they didn't move with alacrity they are not
00:38:55.620 trump people they don't want to support trump and they don't believe in really the the underlying
00:39:00.440 tenet here of the uh of the demographic shift within the state of texas and they don't understand
00:39:06.660 the power of president trump's movement the power of this populist nationalist movement particularly in
00:39:11.420 places like the rio grande valley where they're going to restrict redistrict two of the districts
00:39:15.560 down there uh this is five seats a pickup in a redistricting and i believe in 2026 we're going to
00:39:22.780 pick up many more seats just given the trump program and the way people are are embracing it
00:39:27.580 but in the house a total debacle a brian harrison will be uh will give us an update i believe from
00:39:33.860 the four of the of the house like i said i believe the senate may move this week because there's nothing
00:39:39.580 stopping them and this is the last week of the special session also this week kicked off by this
00:39:44.780 historic press briefing here in the white house about actually taking active control of the imperial
00:39:51.100 capital uh you've got other issues too that are coming up and will be addressed i think you're
00:39:56.740 going to see a lot more developments this week uh we talk about the mass deportations day bratt
00:40:01.060 it has been leaked already that the defense department and other agencies of the federal
00:40:07.180 government are looking hard at something we've called for from the beginning and that is a direct
00:40:11.220 interdiction uh into uh the cartels in northern mexico uh the cartels are still a big driver
00:40:18.900 of uh not just the drug trafficking but the human trafficking although it's been cut
00:40:23.400 you know virtually to zero they're still using back channels you said you have hundreds of thousands
00:40:29.640 of young children here that cannot be identified or we don't know exactly where they are this all came
00:40:35.500 during the biden regime uh but war on the cartels for fentanyl for their drug distribution for human
00:40:41.380 trafficking is clearly called for and the government in mexico has really just given listen all the
00:40:47.460 proclamations they put out it's all just happy talk right it's a government that's completely
00:40:52.220 totally controlled by the cartels and paramilitary and or military interdiction to me is something
00:40:58.460 that's much more vital to the national security of the united states than ukraine or in gaza right or
00:41:04.180 in persia right this is vital to the security of the united states that as you should understand is
00:41:08.720 being worked on dave at the same time you had this massive uh summit of which they refused to call it
00:41:15.100 in alaska between uh between putin and uh and president trump to basically bring an end to the
00:41:21.520 ukraine war and to do it in a way that people lay down their guns now and kind of move on and figure
00:41:26.640 out how they're going to rebuild that uh at the same time you do not entice the you start the
00:41:32.080 rapprochement with the russians uh and the americans against the chinese communist party and don't trigger
00:41:37.920 a uh an invasion of taiwan by the ccp there's amazing footage uh captain finnell who will get
00:41:45.260 tomorrow we're going to try to have him this morning in the uh near scarborough shoals in the
00:41:50.540 south china sea incredible footage of a uh of a chinese destroyer cutting off the front of a chinese
00:41:58.640 coast guard uh a a coast guard ship as they were both trying to essentially get in the way of
00:42:05.640 navigation of a filipino i believe coast guard a philippine navy uh coast guard vessel so uh there's
00:42:12.360 a lot cooking up there uh last but not least you heard uh netanyahu again came down hard on this gaza
00:42:19.300 you know occupation of gaza the military said they're going to take gaza city first i just hope
00:42:24.640 that someone in the president trump's administration has at least looked at the plan because if you hear
00:42:30.780 the idea of talk about it dave uh there it's an impossibility to actually occupy gaza unless you
00:42:37.900 draw the americans in first as logistics right you get people got to be fed so you start all these uh
00:42:43.440 food distribution centers but then you're going to need you're going to need uh you're going to need
00:42:48.080 personnel to defend them next thing you know you're going to have america in there's an occupation force
00:42:52.980 or at least a partial occupation force exactly what happened in baghdad and folks got to remember the in
00:42:58.160 here we go right here here come people we're going to cut live to the briefing room uh the uh crew is
00:43:04.680 up there and we'll take let them take it from here
00:43:06.780 just keep that photo that shot right there you got pam bondes who said main justice the attorney general
00:43:31.880 the secretary of defense pete hexeth is there looks like department of material is there also judge janine
00:43:39.000 uh as being u.s attorney um she's there so i imagine they're waiting there's cash patel
00:43:45.760 of the fbi uh i imagine they're waiting for the president comes the president of the united states
00:43:51.020 we'll turn it over now to the president of the united states wow
00:43:54.600 i've been up here a lot i've never seen a crowd like this i think we need a ballroom
00:44:02.200 and that's happening it's going to be a beautiful ballroom this is really
00:44:06.360 a lot of people most i've ever seen in this room
00:44:09.420 and we're here for a very serious purpose very serious purpose something's out of control but we're
00:44:17.300 going to put it in control very quickly like we did on the southern border i'm announcing a historic
00:44:22.720 action to rescue our nation's capital from crime bloodshed bedlam and squalor and worse
00:44:30.780 this is liberation day in d.c and we're going to take our capital back we're taking it back
00:44:38.240 under the authorities vested in me as the president of the united states i'm officially
00:44:43.940 invoking section 740 of the district of columbia home rule act you know what that is
00:44:49.620 and placing the d.c metropolitan police department under direct federal control and you'll be meeting
00:44:57.200 the people that will be directly involved with that very good people but they're tough
00:45:04.460 and they know what's happening and they've done it before in addition i'm deploying the national
00:45:11.760 guard to help re-establish law order of public safety in washington dc and they're going to be
00:45:18.080 allowed to do their job properly and you people are victims of it too you know you're reporters and
00:45:23.680 i understand a lot of you tend to be on the liberal side but you don't want to get uh you don't want to
00:45:29.160 get mugged and raped and shot and killed and you all know people and friends of yours that that happened
00:45:35.560 and so you can be any anything you want but you want to have safety in the streets you want to be able
00:45:41.580 to leave your apartment or your house where you live and feel safe and go into a store to buy a newspaper
00:45:48.180 or buy something and you don't have that now the murder rate in washington today is higher than that of
00:45:55.520 bogota colombia mexico city some of the places that you hear about as being the worst places on earth
00:46:04.540 much higher this is much higher the number of car thefts has doubled over the past
00:46:10.120 five years and the number of carjackings has more than tripled murders in 2023 reached the highest rate
00:46:18.700 probably ever they say 25 years but they don't know what that means because it just goes back 25 years
00:46:25.000 can't be worse our capital city has been overtaken by violent gangs and bloodthirsty criminals roving
00:46:31.440 mobs of wild youth drugged out maniacs and homeless people and we're not going to let it happen anymore
00:46:38.640 we're not going to take it and just like we did uh on our southern border nobody comes to our southern
00:46:45.240 border three months in a row we had zero i don't know if that's right but the people that do the work
00:46:50.360 uh it's a very liberal group of people actually and they actually said zero for the last three months
00:46:55.800 nobody thought a thing like that was possible and uh you know when you say take a look at numbers i
00:47:03.000 just saw some some charts these are different cities throughout the world red is
00:47:09.080 okay the red is a place called washington dc look at these
00:47:15.600 baghdad is we doubled up on baghdad
00:47:22.100 panama city brazilia san jose costa rica bogota colombia heavy drugs
00:47:31.000 mexico city i mentioned lima peru
00:47:35.140 all double and triple what they uh so do you want to live in places like that
00:47:42.340 i don't think so i don't think so and i think the people in this room
00:47:46.680 if you wrote correctly you'd see look at the kind of numbers we have
00:47:50.740 dc 41 per 100 000 number one that we can find anywhere in the world other cities are
00:47:59.680 pretty bad but they're not as bad as that that way you want to live the reporters of the world
00:48:06.940 juvenile life offenders and crimes against persons as they say
00:48:13.080 it's getting worse not getting better it's getting worse
00:48:18.520 and we had a uh recent indication
00:48:22.240 there was a story about a man who was
00:48:27.180 just left he quit because he was asked to do phony numbers on crime
00:48:32.700 and we're going to look into that i think pam is going to be looking into that
00:48:36.940 but he was asked by the city i guess that we don't want to show the real numbers let me do
00:48:43.120 numbers so it looks like it's going down not going down
00:48:45.420 and under biden it was a disaster and nobody did anything about it we're going to do things about it
00:48:51.020 like you wouldn't believe
00:48:53.720 every american has a constitutional
00:48:56.680 right to be able to access and petition their government
00:49:00.620 in safety and countless federal officials and employees likewise have the right to
00:49:04.520 carry out their jobs in peace without being shot as you know i
00:49:09.020 lost a very good person
00:49:12.480 while ago was shot waiting for his wife he was in the car they robbed this car they
00:49:16.060 shot him they killed him like it was nothing to it
00:49:19.220 she was walking to the car she was it's a horror show
00:49:22.840 this issue directly impacts the
00:49:25.160 functioning of the federal government and is a threat
00:49:28.440 to america
00:49:29.680 really it's a threat to our country
00:49:32.120 we have other cities also that are bad
00:49:34.600 very bad you look at
00:49:35.960 chicago
00:49:37.280 how bad it is you look at los angeles how bad it is
00:49:41.100 we have other cities that are very bad new york has a problem
00:49:44.780 and then you have of course
00:49:46.760 baltimore and oakland we don't even mention that anymore they're so they're so far gone
00:49:52.280 we're not going to let it happen we're not going to lose our cities over this
00:49:56.200 and this will
00:49:57.800 go further we're starting very strongly with
00:50:00.800 dc and we're going to clean it up real quick
00:50:03.400 very quickly as they say
00:50:05.500 days ago a former member of the doge staff was
00:50:08.620 savagely beaten by a band of roving thugs after defending a young woman from an attempted carjacking
00:50:15.820 he was left dripping in blood he thought he was dead
00:50:18.940 with a broken nose and concussion can't believe that he's alive he can't believe it
00:50:24.580 in june a 21 year old congressional intern was tragically killed after being hit
00:50:30.380 by a stray bullet in a drive-by shooting
00:50:33.180 a former trump administration official named mike gill fantastic person was murdered last year
00:50:38.460 in cold blood
00:50:39.820 in a carjacking blocks away from
00:50:42.760 the white house
00:50:45.600 we all knew him
00:50:47.060 great person
00:50:49.420 waiting for his wife
00:50:51.360 as she was walking
00:50:52.840 to the car
00:50:54.300 the democrat congressman was also carjacked at gunpoint not far from the capitol
00:50:59.700 and in 2023 an aid to
00:51:02.580 senator ran paul was stabbed in the chest and
00:51:06.800 head
00:51:08.080 by a demented lunatic as he walked down the street just absolutely for no reason
00:51:13.440 horrifically last july fourth weekend a three-year-old girl was shot
00:51:17.780 in the head and killed while sitting in a car
00:51:20.880 near the capitol
00:51:23.280 it's becoming a situation of complete and total
00:51:26.440 lawlessness
00:51:28.080 and we're getting rid of the slums too we have slums here we're getting rid of them
00:51:31.420 i know it's not politically correct
00:51:33.560 you'll say oh so terrible no we're getting rid of the slums where they live
00:51:40.260 caravans of mass youth
00:51:42.640 rampage through city streets at uh...
00:51:46.560 all times of the day
00:51:48.900 they're in atvs
00:51:50.780 motorbikes
00:51:52.060 they travel pretty well
00:51:54.180 entire neighborhoods are
00:51:55.980 now under emergency curfews
00:51:58.940 just this past weekend gunfire through went through and you saw that the navy yard
00:52:03.940 i saw it this morning they saw
00:52:06.400 that they fought back against law see they fight back
00:52:10.360 until you knock the hell out of them because it's the only language they understand but they fought
00:52:14.400 back against
00:52:15.800 law enforcement last night
00:52:18.400 and uh... they're not going to be fighting back long because
00:52:22.300 i've instructed them and
00:52:25.240 uh... told them whatever happens you know they love to spit in the face of
00:52:30.280 the police as the police are standing up there
00:52:33.340 in uniform they're standing
00:52:35.340 and they're screaming at them
00:52:37.000 an inch away from their face
00:52:39.080 and then they start spitting in their face
00:52:42.020 and i said
00:52:43.100 you tell them
00:52:44.060 you spit
00:52:45.100 and we hit
00:52:46.800 and they can hit real hard
00:52:49.820 it's a disgusting thing i've watched that for years for four three four years i've watched them
00:52:56.540 police are standing and they're told don't do anything under any such of this and you can see they want to get at it
00:53:03.700 and they're standing there and people are spitting in their face and they're not allowed to do anything
00:53:09.020 but now they are allowed to do whatever the hell they want
00:53:12.600 this dire public safety crisis stems directly from
00:53:16.340 the abject
00:53:17.760 failures of the city's local leadership the radical left
00:53:21.840 city council adopted no cash bail
00:53:25.100 by the way
00:53:25.900 every place in the country where you have no cash bail
00:53:28.960 is a disaster that's what started the problem in new york and they don't change it
00:53:33.440 they don't want to change it that's what started it
00:53:36.200 in chicago
00:53:37.880 i mean bad politicians started it bad leadership started it but that was the one thing that's central
00:53:43.460 no cash bail somebody murders somebody and they're out on no cash bail
00:53:48.340 that before the day is out
00:53:50.960 that we're going to end that in chicago we're going to change the statute i spoke with
00:53:56.000 uh... pam and todd and everybody we're going to change the statue and i'm going to have to get the republicans to vote because the democrats are weak on crime
00:54:04.520 totally weak on crime
00:54:06.680 they don't know why
00:54:08.840 they want to stop because they get mugged too
00:54:11.860 but we're going to change no cash bail we're going to change the statute and get rid of some of the other things
00:54:17.440 and we'll count on the republicans in congress and senate
00:54:21.020 to vote we have the majority so we'll vote we don't have a big majority but we've gotten everything
00:54:26.600 we've got a great big beautiful bill
00:54:32.180 got that done and that's one of the greatest things that's ever happened to people in this country
00:54:37.140 so many things but we'll be able to get that done so Todd if you and Pam can
00:54:42.480 drop things working with the people we will I'll get it passed we'll get it
00:54:48.360 passed with Republicans probably won't get think of this probably won't get
00:54:53.280 one Democrat vote because they have no idea what they're doing that's why they
00:54:57.440 want men playing in women's sports that's what they why they want transgender
00:55:01.700 for everybody everybody transgender and they they've just got walloped in an
00:55:09.080 election in a landslide and they haven't changed one thing I saw the other day the
00:55:13.640 certain gentleman who were very well-known politician Democrat was
00:55:18.080 fighting like hell that men should be allowed to play in women's sport they
00:55:22.040 just don't get it they said it's an 80 20 issue and I think it's a 97 to 3 issue
00:55:27.380 and I don't know who the three are I've never heard anybody come nobody's ever
00:55:31.680 come up to me sir you have to let men play in women's sports you have to do
00:55:36.840 it sir nobody's ever approached me I don't know where this issue even comes
00:55:39.780 from never seen anything like it but they turned our nation's capital into a
00:55:45.660 sanctuary jurisdiction that's the other thing we have to get rid of sanctuary
00:55:48.960 cities as quickly as possible we're going to do it too we have to because it's
00:55:53.100 sanctuary for criminals releasing illegal alien gang members onto the streets in
00:55:58.020 2022 nearly 70% of criminals arrested in Washington went unprosecuted that's not
00:56:06.120 going to happen with the group we have standing aside and standing behind me and
00:56:11.340 at the Metropolitan Police Department it's now reached a small number
00:56:17.820 relatively compared to what it was but it's thousands of people you know we have
00:56:21.900 thousands of police I was told today sir they want more police I heard a number
00:56:27.360 3,500 police that's a lot of police 3,500 I thought they're gonna say we only have 30
00:56:35.340 policemen or women he said we have 3,500 we need more you don't need more that's so
00:56:42.600 many I never heard that's like an army how could you need more than 3,000 it just happened two
00:56:48.240 minutes ago sir they've requested more police oh what do they have about 3,500 I said 3,500 this
00:57:00.240 is not a big area it's ridiculous what you need is rules and regulations and you need the right
00:57:07.200 people to implement them and we have the right people here that I can tell you look at the border
00:57:11.880 border czar Biden said there's nothing you can do Kamala was the border czar she never called
00:57:17.340 one of the border patrol agents who are great ice is great never spoke to anybody never went there
00:57:22.440 but she was the border czar and everybody said it was impossible to fix I fixed it in three months
00:57:28.920 no really I fixed it the first week but really fixed it over the last couple of months and I mean
00:57:37.400 literally to a point where as I said zero illegals entering our country in the last 90 days pretty
00:57:46.580 amazing it's time for dramatic action we're gonna do the same thing over here it's gonna be a very safe
00:57:52.220 city very soon we're not looking just take years because a lot of people die in years and we we've got
00:57:58.700 incredible people in this country except we have to allow them to do their job and that we will deliver
00:58:07.280 like nobody's ever delivered before I actually think it's easy you know if you're competent it's easy if
00:58:15.200 you're incompetent it's impossible but I'm very competent last week my administration search search 500 federal
00:58:24.120 agents into the district including from the FBI ATF DEA Park Police the US Marshal Service the Secret
00:58:34.560 Service and the Department of Homeland Security you know a lot of nations they don't have anything like
00:58:40.980 that they got some some police and they're rough police they don't have DEA ATF FBI Park Police the US
00:58:51.480 Marshal Service Secret Service Department of Homeland Security they got some police but they're rough
00:58:59.520 police and they do their job they don't have crime we're not gonna have crime either they made dozens of
00:59:06.900 arrests and that's what it's what starts to happen again cashless bail watch what we do with that today
00:59:17.340 we're formally declaring a public safety emergency this is an emergency this is a tragic emergency and
00:59:25.680 it's embarrassing for me to be up here you know I'm gonna see Putin I'm going to Russia on Friday I don't
00:59:31.920 like being up here talking about how unsafe and how dirty and disgusting this once beautiful capital was
00:59:38.940 with graffiti all over the walls it's another part of it by the way because we're talking about safety we're
00:59:45.540 also talking about beautification we're the most beautiful potentially capital in the world we always
00:59:50.520 had but people come from Iowa they come from Indiana they come and then they get mugged not gonna happen
00:59:57.300 keep coming because within by the time you get your trip set it's gonna be safe again and it's gonna be
01:00:03.120 clean very quickly we're gonna replace the medians that are falling down all over the roads we're gonna
01:00:07.920 replace the potholes we're gonna put a nice new coat of asphalt over the top no we don't have to rip the road
01:00:14.100 out and spend seven years building a new road because they cut everything they because some
01:00:19.500 designers said well we need a quarter of an inch more turn for safety reasons no we're gonna do it
01:00:26.220 right we're gonna get it done quickly so today we're declaring public safety emergency in the District of
01:00:34.500 Columbia and Attorney General Pam Bondi who's fantastic is taking command of the Metropolitan Police Department as of
01:00:43.080 this moment and I'll be making the appropriate notifications to Congress and to the mayor our
01:00:49.800 new DEA administrator who's one of the top in the country he better be Terry if you're not I'm gonna
01:00:55.440 get rid of you so fast Terry Cole Terry thanks very good we just just got him high most highly recommended
01:01:03.480 person and you'll be designated as the interim federal commissioner of the Metropolitan Police Department
01:01:11.360 okay and you run them tough they're good you have a lot of good people you have people that shouldn't
01:01:16.220 be there you also have people that shouldn't be there they got in there because of woke but you have a lot of
01:01:21.680 great police and those people are the ones that want to help you this city will no longer be a sanctuary
01:01:28.520 for illegal alien criminals we will have full seamless integrated cooperation at all levels of law
01:01:35.420 enforcement and we'll deploy officers across the district with an overwhelming presence you'll have more police
01:01:42.020 and you'll be so happy because you'll be safe when you walk down the street you're going to see police or you're
01:01:50.060 going to see FBI agents could have a lot of agents on the streets you're going to have a lot of
01:01:55.460 essentially military and we will bring in the military if it's needed by the way we're gonna have National Guard
01:02:02.420 National Guard but Pete Hankseth will tell you about it we will bring in the military if needed people say
01:02:07.880 oh that's so terrible he's going to bring in it's been it's been used many times over the years I don't
01:02:15.500 think we'll need it I think we've got so many great people including the people that are in the police
01:02:20.900 department with proper leadership they'll immediately begin massive enforcement operations targeting known
01:02:27.220 gangs drug dealers and criminal networks to get them the hell off the street maybe get them out of the
01:02:32.160 country because a lot of them came into our country illegally they shouldn't have been allowed in
01:02:36.360 they come from Venezuela they come from all over the world we're going to get them the hell out they
01:02:40.500 won't be here long but some of these people a lot of them are homegrown criminals and these are bad
01:02:48.480 people these are rough people and this is just a list of some of the people that were given to me today
01:02:53.940 that were criminals removed from the DC streets this weekend they were rough rough and tough but we're
01:03:02.340 rougher and tougher look at these people here nothing you know they're not going to be your local school
01:03:10.140 teacher look at this guy he's killed people numerous times they're not going to be an asset they will
01:03:17.980 never be an asset to society I don't care I know we all want to say oh they're going to be rehabbed it's
01:03:22.680 not going to be rehabbed I'm going to ask Doug Burgum to come up and say a couple of words because he's in
01:03:29.100 charge as you know he's interior but he's in charge of the US Park Police and I have heard so many great
01:03:35.640 things about the Park Police they're proud of it they've been there for a long time their families

01:09:25.220 the wharf Terry Cole reached out to me not even nightfall on the weekend where so many families in
01:09:31.540 tourists go a guy's overdosing from fentanyl on a park bench in the middle of families around they
01:09:39.300 administer Narcan and saved his life no more of that the President of the United States is going to clean

01:09:57.140 thank you Mr. President thank you Attorney General Blondie for your leadership
01:10:00.020 Deputy Attorney General rest of our interagency partners uh Mr. President the following is what
01:10:04.900 what happens when you let good cops be cops and I just want to highlight that before I get into
01:10:08.420 Northern Virginia this year alone under President Trump's administration we've had over
01:10:12.820 4,000 child victims identified and found that's a 33% increase from the same time period last year 33%
01:10:20.820 increase we've had a seizure of 1,500 kilograms of fentanyl this up to this date that is a 25%
01:10:29.380 increase since the same time period last year and just to put it in perspective 1,500 kilograms of
01:10:35.300 fentanyl is enough to kill 115 million Americans 115 million Americans cops are getting after it
01:10:42.660 the FBI has arrested 19,000 people this year alone thanks to President Trump's administrations that's
01:10:49.780 double than where we were this time last year and we have also arrested 1,600 people who have committed
01:10:56.820 violent acts against children children 270 of them are human traffickers of children Mr. President this is
01:11:06.020 what happens when you have great leadership at the Attorney General with Pam Bondi your administration's
01:11:10.900 priority of protecting the homeland and protecting American citizens and protecting our children and
01:11:15.780 the murder rates are plummeting we are now able to report that the murder rate is on track to be the
01:11:21.460 lowest in U.S. history in modern recorded U.S. history thanks to this team behind me and President
01:11:26.820 Trump's priorities and how do we do it and what are we going to bring to D.C. what we did in Northern
01:11:31.540 Virginia thanks to Terry Cole and Governor Youngkin and the team we stood up a task force out in my Northern
01:11:36.580 Virginia field office and we said let's let good cops be cops let's get them the intelligence and
01:11:41.220 what they need and let's get the red tape out of their way and let's get DOJ partnered up with us to
01:11:45.780 bring great prosecutions and that's exactly what we did in one month we arrested 545 violent felons 545
01:11:54.180 in the state of Virginia thanks to Governor Youngkin's partnership and that simplicity in law enforcement
01:11:59.940 is what's coming to Washington D.C. when you let good cops be cops when you give them the intel they need when
01:12:05.540 you work with our homeland security task force when you work with Terry and Gaddy and I go way back
01:12:09.940 to Miami these guys are great leaders of the respective departments and law enforcement capacities
01:12:14.820 and when you have the DOJ and President Trump driving behind this mission we are going to clean up
01:12:20.500 Washington D.C. and we're going to do it the right way the lawful way and we're going to make sure
01:12:25.140 Washington D.C. is safe again thank you Mr. President thank you attorney general thank you very much
01:12:29.460 thank you so the process begins right now it actually started over the weekend and we confronted
01:12:39.780 a lot of very bad people but it's uh it's going to be something that will be pretty amazing to you
01:12:46.420 as you watch it and I think most of you say it'll it's a beautiful thing to do it right we're going to
01:12:53.060 be removing homeless encampments from all over our parks our beautiful beautiful parks which now a
01:12:59.620 lot of people can't walk on they've been very very dirty very uh we've got a lot of problems
01:13:08.180 but we've already started that we're moving the encampments away trying to take care of people
01:13:14.820 some of those people we don't know how they even got there some of those people are from different
01:13:20.340 countries different parts of the world nobody knows who they are they have no idea but they're there
01:13:25.700 getting rid of the people from underpasses and public spaces from all over the city there are
01:13:31.300 many places that they can go and we're going to help them as much as you can help but they'll
01:13:36.820 not be allowed to turn our capital into a wasteland for the world to see the metropolitan police
01:13:44.020 department and the federal authorities will be supported in the effort a really big effort
01:13:50.980 the 800 dc national guardsmen that we'll put on and much more if necessary much more
01:13:58.900 it's uh you remember i said i offered 10 000 once remember i said to a certain person
01:14:04.740 a person who i thought always was highly overrated not very competent but i said if you need them we'll
01:14:11.860 give you 10 000 of the military or the national guard they turned me down but if necessary we're going to
01:14:19.140 move uh service members directly to joining the guardsmen and that'll take place very rapidly and
01:14:26.820 that'll be done in conjunction with pam and with pete and everybody else washington dc should be one of
01:14:32.900 the safest cleanest and most beautiful cities anywhere in the world and uh we're going to make it that
01:14:37.940 we're going to make it safe we're going to make it smart we're going to make it beautiful so beautiful
01:14:42.900 some of the buildings uh we're going to add to it you see what we've
01:14:45.780 done at the white house is white house is a whole different building i do that in my part time
01:14:50.340 because it's a natural instinct as a real estate person i was very good at that and i was very good
01:14:55.300 at fixing things up i like fixing things up uh you see what's happening the marble floors are being
01:15:01.940 reinstalled renovated fixed the whole place is becoming very beautiful we're going to be adding a
01:15:07.140 magnificent ballroom most beautiful ballroom i think anywhere we need it i would have certainly
01:15:12.740 loved to have had it today i think we would have filled it up a lot of you are standing outside
01:15:17.940 can't get in this room i have never seen the room like this which tells me that you want to talk about
01:15:23.460 i mean this was a dc news conference it tells me that you want to talk about crime in dc and
01:15:29.220 and beautification of dc but i'm going to put that that's easy
01:15:33.780 and i think frankly fixing the crime with the pros fixing the crime is easy too
01:15:38.020 a person who i've known for a long time and uh she's been incredible she was a fantastic one of
01:15:45.060 the best ever district attorneys in new york she was in westchester and she became a judge very
01:15:51.060 successful judge and then she went into show business because she was such a good d.a and
01:15:56.900 such a good judge tough judge but fair always fair nobody ever complained about that but she was tough
01:16:03.140 and uh because of that and her reputation she went into showbiz so a lot of people don't you know they
01:16:08.260 think of janine as showbiz actually showbiz was not her thing it was and she did great she was on along
01:16:15.380 with a couple of other of my friends on the number one show and uh she did great but this is what she
01:16:22.500 she loves doing this is really her her baby what she's going to do is going to be incredible
01:16:28.100 and i'd like to introduce to speak for just a few seconds on uh what she has in mind what
01:16:35.140 she wants to do we're going to be appointing some judges you know we have some open spots and
01:16:39.380 we're going to take people because the judges are letting killers out they just say go that's okay
01:16:46.500 don't worry about it uh so we're putting some pam recommended todd recommended some uh judges that
01:16:54.100 a great janine recommended janine's given me three great candidates already we've got 10 open spots
01:16:59.460 and we could probably create some more we need them uh janine would you say a few words please
01:17:07.060 thank you very much mr president and thank you madam attorney general and to all my partners here
01:17:12.740 we all want the same thing we all want a safe city we want a safe capital we want to be able to bring our
01:17:20.180 families here we want to be able to come and enjoy the history that makes this place great and
01:17:27.380 unfortunately we are not in that position right now and mr president i want to thank you for taking the
01:17:33.940 step that we need right now to make criminals understand that they are not going to get away with it anymore
01:17:41.460 and i'm not going to stand here and go over and over the cases but what i can tell you is this
01:17:47.540 i see too much violent crime being committed by young punks who think that they can get together
01:17:54.420 in gangs and crews and beat the hell out of you or anyone else they don't care where they are
01:18:00.900 they can be in dupont circle but they know that we can't touch them why because the laws are weak
01:18:08.260 i can't touch you if you're 14 15 16 17 years old and you have a gun i convict someone of shooting
01:18:16.420 another person with an illegal gun on a public bus in the chest intent to kill i convict him and you
01:18:24.820 know what the judge gives him probation says you should go to college we need to go after the dc council
01:18:33.060 and their absurd laws we need to get rid of this concept of you know a no cash fail we need to recognize
01:18:40.660 that the people who matter are the law abiding citizens and it starts today but it's not going
01:18:47.060 to end today because the president is going to do everything we need to do to make sure that these
01:18:52.980 emboldened criminals understand we see you we're watching you and we're going to change the law to
01:19:00.020 catch you and my final note is this these kids understand that the jurisdiction is through the state
01:19:07.780 attorney general brian schwab i did a poster of the young man from doge who was beaten bloody with a
01:19:14.740 severe concussion a broken nose and then i did a poster of what happens to those kids because i can't
01:19:21.540 arrest them i can't prosecute them they go to family court and they get to do yoga and arts and crafts
01:19:29.060 enough it changes today thank you mr president thank you great job thank you if i could uh i just signed
01:19:41.380 some executive orders i'd like to have will please come up and uh we'll let the people know what we
01:19:48.340 signed you want to put them down yes sir go ahead a short while ago in the oval office president trump
01:19:54.340 signed two crucial executive actions to deal with the emergency crime conditions we currently face
01:20:00.420 in the district of columbia the first of these was an executive order as president trump said before
01:20:05.940 invoking his powers under section 40 of the home rule act to take federal control of the dc metropolitan
01:20:12.580 police department along with that executive order president trump signed the statutorily required
01:20:18.500 notification letters to mayor bowser and to the relevant house and senate committee leaders the
01:20:25.060 second major executive action that president trump signed was a presidential memorandum directing the
01:20:30.820 secretary of defense to utilize the national guard to address the conditions we see on on our streets
01:20:37.860 here in dc it also authorized the secretary of defense to work with state governors to utilize their
01:20:44.100 national guard uh units if necessary as well these are bold decisive steps intended to combat the out
01:20:52.020 of control crime conditions we've seen on dc streets for far too long and i for one am deeply proud to be
01:20:58.500 part of an administration that's finally coming to terms with these issues sir thank you very much sir thank you
01:21:05.940 so just to conclude washington dc
01:21:09.780 uh... should be one of the safest cleanest most beautiful places anywhere in the world it was
01:21:17.460 years ago we had one problem that was pretty big problem the radical left got out of control and they
01:21:26.180 started trying to rip down statues and i said let's go pass the law real fast we're going to do it real fast but
01:21:33.060 we were blocked by the democrats who do not want safety nobody gets it i don't get it they don't
01:21:39.620 get it because they can't get votes i don't know how they can win an election with this but they don't
01:21:43.780 want safety and i found an old statute very old early 1900s that said of you so much as touch
01:21:52.100 or even think about destroying a statue or a monument in washington dc you go to jail for 10 years with no
01:22:02.900 probation no anything another slightly different than we have today today we have cashless bail
01:22:07.780 there you get jailed 10 years uh no curtailed sentence 10 years
01:22:13.860 and we did we took it out nobody used it was never used because you know it's harsh
01:22:19.380 and you remember they started to rip down
01:22:23.860 the statue of abraham lincoln i said that's a tough one to rip down that's
01:22:28.020 these t was pretty good pam i think he was pretty good when they
01:22:31.780 when the ropes started going around abraham lincoln to pull him down andrew jackson others
01:22:38.020 and they were heading to the jefferson memorial thomas jefferson they're going to do a big number
01:22:44.820 there i said it's time and i signed that statute immediately we had it updated we made it uh use
01:22:54.900 the same language all passed by congress and i announced it's 10 years in jail no probation no
01:23:01.620 anything 10 years no curtail sentence if you touch so much as touch a statue in washington dc
01:23:09.220 and it was an amazing sight beautiful sight everybody just left the ropes were hanging
01:23:17.780 around andrew jackson and there were two ropes around abraham lincoln they left the rope
01:23:25.780 but everybody just left and that was the last problem we ever had you know that was the last
01:23:29.780 problem that we ever had with the statues they were going wild and we uh somebody came to me said
01:23:36.260 certain 1910 i don't want to give you an exact because you'll say donald trump gave us wrong
01:23:43.060 dates around like early on you know if i'm slightly off they make you sound a little bad so i won't be
01:23:50.660 i won't put myself in that position i won't put you in that position because i think everybody agrees
01:23:55.540 with what we're doing today but when i signed that thing it was like a miracle everybody left they were gone
01:24:01.860 they were starting to march down they started the march toward thomas jefferson and i figured he
01:24:09.860 was always going to be safe but they found something with him and they found something with abraham lincoln
01:24:16.900 and even in the name george washington in california numerous places changed the name of
01:24:24.420 george washington high school and various other places they took george washington's name this was
01:24:29.780 a sick woke culture that i think we've largely ended and a lot of those people that were woke are now
01:24:36.420 turning out to be uh the opposite i won't go so far as to say maga it's a very special category but uh
01:24:46.100 they've gotten out of that but we have uh we have people that love this country and they love this
01:24:52.340 this really beautiful capital it is i flew over it the other day and i said what a beautiful place but
01:24:57.860 there's crime all over the streets when you get there it doesn't look so beautiful but we're going
01:25:02.340 to make it beautiful again we're going to fix it with crime and we're going to also as we're doing
01:25:07.300 that we're going to start doing things that we know how to do that i know how to do better than
01:25:11.540 anybody i guess because of my experience from previous life but not only are we stopping the crime we're going
01:25:18.740 to clean up the trash and the graffiti and the grime and the dirt and the broken marble panels
01:25:26.900 and all of the things they've done to hurt this city and we're going to restore the city back to the
01:25:32.980 gleaming capital that everybody wants it to be it's going to be something very special uh all of these
01:25:40.180 people are really tough could i shake your hand getty please you're going to be so important here you're
01:25:45.300 going to be you're going to be that guy i hope i don't have to fire him in two weeks because he's
01:25:50.340 too soft i don't think he's too soft if i do i will though is it okay if you if you're soft weak
01:25:57.860 and pathetic like so many people i will fire you so fast you're not going to have to worry about that
01:26:04.660 no i think you're going to do a fantastic job and everybody in this room they may not express it but
01:26:09.620 they all want that to happen you know they want to be safe and they have families too so it's an honor
01:26:15.220 to have such a large group i've done this for years now hard to believe i've never seen this room
01:26:22.340 so packed in fact i'm sure it's a violation of every fire code
01:26:29.300 but we'll let you stay anyway you're taking a chance
01:26:31.700 uh and with that we'll say maybe if you could oh wow we could be here all day long
01:26:41.700 if you could if we could if we could keep the first questions perhaps to uh this subject and then
01:26:46.980 we'll go on to a few others please mr president thank you so much can you talk about how personal
01:26:53.460 of an issue this is you talked about flying over the washington monument and seeing the pride of what dc
01:26:59.860 is do you believe that the status of the city the cleanliness the the way that crime is low is a
01:27:04.420 direct reflection on how the country is run yeah i do i think uh the capital look everyone comes here
01:27:10.260 they all they're all coming all the leaders they're all wanting to come and i say it i've said it again
01:27:16.820 but i'm really just quoting other leaders from nato from the middle east king of saudi arabia qatar
01:27:23.620 uae i was over there we brought back 5.1 trillion dollars of investment into our country but i was
01:27:31.300 a month and a half ago i was at nato we had a great i think they agreed to put up five percent
01:27:36.180 instead of two percent two percent they didn't pay five percent already paid we had a great meeting
01:27:41.140 and they all said the same thing they said our country was dead they thought our country was gone
01:27:46.260 one year ago they said your country was dead and now you have the hottest country anywhere in the world
01:27:51.860 we do we have the hottest country in the world right now uh the tariffs have helped it's given us
01:27:57.140 not only the money it's billions trillions of dollars of money but it gives us great power over enemies we
01:28:04.100 solved five wars with pakistan and india with we just solved one azure baijan and as you know and armenia
01:28:14.500 it was a war was raging for 37 years and the two leaders got up and they said we never thought this
01:28:22.100 would be solved russia tried to solve it they all tried to solve it it was a very tough situation but
01:28:28.340 we got it done and got it done and i said to the two men i said are you guys friends and they had a hard
01:28:33.620 time you know they've been killing each other for 37 years right the one was there five years one was
01:28:39.700 there for 22 years he said my whole life i've been fighting this war and you got us up but we did many
01:28:46.340 of those we did uh in the congo and rwanda that's been going on for 30 years eight to nine million
01:28:54.580 people killed that they know of but it was raging and we got that so we got a lot of them done it's a
01:28:59.380 great honor but you want to have when they come the leaders come to our country to sign documents that
01:29:06.500 the war is over or whatever or for other reasons they come for trade uh and you want them to come
01:29:13.380 through so beautifully you ride down those roads everything should be perfect you shouldn't have
01:29:19.220 medians falling down into the roadway median you know the metal things that are always somebody had a
01:29:26.020 great a great lobbyist because i've never seen them look good i've been looking at those things with
01:29:33.060 the little right they're always broken and bad but here they're really bad and we're going to either
01:29:41.220 put new or fix it and it's not expensive it's not really expensive and we're going to fix our roads a
01:29:46.100 little bit we're going to clean up our sidewalks you have countries where every saturday the people go
01:29:51.700 out and they wash their sidewalks in front of their stores of their houses they scrub they scrub their
01:29:57.380 sidewalks so we aren't quite at that level yet i don't think getty we're not quite there yet but
01:30:04.260 maybe we will they go they go out and they scrub i think it's so beautiful to hear that and to see
01:30:08.820 those stories but we're going to make it clean but just to finish with your question um it's a very very
01:30:16.580 strong reflection of our country and when they see a bad city you know my father always used to tell me
01:30:25.220 he had a wonderful father very smart and he used to say son when you walk into a restaurant and you
01:30:32.820 see a dirty front door don't go in because if the front door is dirty the kitchen is dirty also
01:30:41.140 same thing with the capital if our capital is dirty our whole country is dirty and they don't respect us
01:30:48.180 so it's a very good question actually uh question for you on the specific issues do you expect more
01:30:56.740 cities to follow dc's path if this goes through so the idea is that chicago l.a san francisco would
01:31:02.420 they expect similar action what we've seen in dc any other questions sir there's reporting that the
01:31:07.060 administration is going to reclassify marijuana would that send mixed messages that if marijuana is
01:31:12.260 okay drugs some drugs are okay but we're trying to clean up crime how do they go hand in hand we're only
01:31:16.740 looking at that that's early but you know somebody reported it which is fine we're looking at it
01:31:20.900 some people like it some people hate it some people hate the whole concept of marijuana because if it
01:31:25.700 does bad for the children it does bad for people that are older than children but we're looking at
01:31:30.820 reclassification and we'll make a determination over the next i would say over the next few weeks
01:31:36.500 and that determination hopefully will be the right one it's very complicated subject these you know the
01:31:40.980 subject of marijuana i've heard great things having to do with medical and i've had bad things having to do
01:31:46.420 with just about everything else but medical and uh you know for pain and various things i've heard some
01:31:52.100 pretty good things but for other things i've heard some pretty bad things uh the other part of your
01:31:58.980 question i mean we're just going to see what happens with with it all you're going to have uh we're going
01:32:03.220 to have a tremendous success in what we're doing other cities are hopefully watching this they're all
01:32:09.380 watching just like everyone's watching here they're all watching and maybe they'll self uh clean up and
01:32:17.060 maybe they'll self do this and get rid of the cashless bail thing and all of the things that caused the
01:32:22.820 problem i mean if you go back this whole thing with cashless bail is a disaster so many problems came that
01:32:29.060 we we never had before uh so they're watching us today and if they don't learn their lesson if they haven't studied
01:32:37.380 us properly because we're going to be very successful i have zero doubt about that it's going to be so
01:32:41.860 it's a question of will it be really fast like the border you know everyone said they used to say
01:32:47.220 by uses i need legislation i need you didn't need i didn't get any legislation i called up our people
01:32:55.620 and uh we did a great job tom homan was great our as you know our secretary did a great job they did a
01:33:02.900 great job there's no games they didn't play games and we're gonna have the same thing here but then
01:33:08.820 i'm gonna look at new york in a little while let's do this let's do this together let's see it's going
01:33:14.180 to go pretty quickly and if we need to we're going to do the same thing in chicago which is a disaster
01:33:20.740 we have a mayor there who's totally incompetent he's an incompetent man and we have an incompetent
01:33:28.340 governor there pritzker's an incompetent his family threw him out of the business and he ran for
01:33:33.860 governor and now i understand he wants to be president but i noticed he lost a little weight
01:33:39.540 so maybe he has a chance you know you never know what happens but pritzker's a gross incompetent guy
01:33:44.820 thrown out of the family business uh but when i look at chicago and i look at uh l.a if we didn't go to
01:33:54.100 l.a three months ago l.a would be burning like the part that didn't burn if you would have allowed
01:34:00.020 the water to come down which i told him about in my first term i said you're going to have problems
01:34:05.380 let it come down we actually sent in our military to have the water come down into l.a they still
01:34:10.100 didn't want it to come down after the fires but that was it we have it coming down but hopefully l.a's
01:34:16.740 watching that mayor also the city's burning they lost like 25 000 homes i went there the day after
01:34:24.340 the fire you were there and i saw people standing in front of a burned down home it was their homes
01:34:31.220 were incinerated they weren't like even the steel was literally it was all warped and literally
01:34:37.940 disintegrated because of the winds and the flame and the whole thing like a blowtorch
01:34:42.980 they were standing on this beautiful day maybe a couple of days after we gave it a little time
01:34:48.420 because they what they had suffered almost 25 000 homes and you see what's happening now
01:34:55.380 they didn't give their permits i went to a town hall meeting i said we're going to get
01:34:59.460 you the federal permits which are much harder almost immediately lee zeldin is a star he did an
01:35:05.620 incredible job they have all their federal permits they don't have their city permits and the mayor said to
01:35:10.820 me we think we can have them in two years i was walking down the street and i met with firemen and
01:35:18.100 police and i was saying hello to many people that were standing in front of their homes with yellow
01:35:23.300 tape you can't go in you can't go onto the lot and those people wanted to start rebuilding their homes
01:35:28.660 then and there and the mayor said we should be able to get them the permits within two years i said
01:35:33.540 that's a shame two years are you kidding i'm going to get him the federal permit like almost
01:35:37.940 immediately two years and she dropped she ruled back well maybe one year the place was booing her
01:35:43.140 out of the place they don't have their permits to build their homes and now they're talking about
01:35:48.260 putting this is among the most beautiful areas was in the country now they're talking about putting low
01:35:54.740 income housing there can you believe this i love low income housing i made money with low income
01:36:00.420 housing i built low income housing i know more about low income housing and luxury house i know about
01:36:05.300 everything real estate they want to replace some of those homes with low income housing
01:36:11.860 they haven't gotten their permits yet we've gotten all the federal permits which are much tougher to
01:36:17.140 get and it was done almost immediately through lee zeldin and federal environmental
01:36:22.420 and i watched the other day those people are angry and now you know they had tremendous
01:36:27.220 they love that area they loved the whole big area different places but they loved it it was all luxury
01:36:32.980 stuff and beautiful stuff and some wasn't that luxury but the level of love for that neighborhood
01:36:39.380 their neighbors was incredible and you know what i watched people on television they they want to go
01:36:45.220 they want to leave they've lost their spirit they've lost their heart because the mayor's incompetent
01:36:50.500 and gavin newscom is incompetent he's got a good line of but that's about it he's incompetent
01:36:55.940 and you have los angeles is you know it's amazing you know i called the first thing i did i got the
01:37:02.420 olympics to go there i was the one that got it and by a rare thing that happened i'll be the president
01:37:08.500 i was very upset because i got the olympics and i said i won't be president when it comes but
01:37:12.660 bad things happened and uh illegal things happened really illegal things happened now it turns out one
01:37:18.740 good thing was i'm going to be the president for the olympics for 2050 for 250 which is going to be
01:37:25.220 fantastic and also for the world cup so we have a lot of good things and i hope 250 is going to be
01:37:30.580 the 250th anniversary is going to be the best but when i looked at those people and i saw last night
01:37:36.740 on television that they still don't have their permits it's a disgrace what's happened
01:37:42.180 yeah thank you um the china tariff deadline is tonight but do you plan to extend that uh we'll
01:37:52.100 see what happens china's been uh we've been dealing very nicely with china as you probably have heard
01:37:58.660 they have tremendous tariffs that they're paying to the united states of america
01:38:04.500 and we'll see what happens they've been dealing quite nicely the relationship is very good with
01:38:09.140 president with president she and myself you mentioned your upcoming upcoming meeting with
01:38:15.540 president putin yeah tell us what you hope to get out of that and whether you'll consider inviting
01:38:19.700 president zelensky to join so you have to understand this is a war that should have never happened
01:38:25.940 there's a war that wouldn't have happened if i were president would have never happened it wasn't
01:38:30.420 it was the apple of his eye got along very well with president putin but if you look under
01:38:35.940 president bush they took a lot of territory under president obama they took a lot of territory
01:38:42.340 under biden they essentially took the whole thing you know it's just a question of time
01:38:47.380 under trump you know what they took nothing nothing i was the one that said you can't build your
01:38:53.700 pipeline that was half built i came in i stopped the pipeline scored called nordstrom 2 nobody knows that
01:39:00.580 you know nobody ever heard of nordstrom 2 you might have not even heard it biggest pipeline in the world i
01:39:05.380 stopped it i was not a friend of russia but i got along well with putin it's always good to get along
01:39:10.340 with other countries if possible but that doesn't mean you you roll over like biden did biden came in
01:39:16.580 and he immediately approved approved the pipeline i couldn't believe it then they say trump wasn't
01:39:20.660 tough on russia i wasn't tough i was the toughest putin said if you're not tough i would hate like hell to
01:39:26.180 see you visit i stopped the biggest economic development job the biggest job that russia had ever built i
01:39:32.180 stopped it it was dead and this low iq president came in and he let them build a pipeline and supply
01:39:41.300 oil and gas all over europe you know so this is really a feel out meeting a little bit and president
01:39:49.380 putin invited me to get involved he wants to get involved i think i believe he wants to get it over
01:39:55.940 with now i've said that a few times and i've been disappointed because i have like a great call with him
01:40:02.020 and then missiles would be lobbed into kiev or some other place and you'd have 60 people laying on a
01:40:07.460 road dying i said that's cold that's cold but it's a violent war five to seven thousand people a week
01:40:16.660 are dying and you know there's there's nobody from here they're all russian and ukrainian people and
01:40:22.660 some people from the city much smaller number but still those missiles do damage and they kill a lot of
01:40:28.820 people but mostly soldiers and uh they're young soldiers although in the case of ukraine they're
01:40:35.460 getting much older they're drafting 60 year olds now uh it's a terrible thing to witness and i think
01:40:42.420 i have an obligation look this is joe biden's war this is not my war
01:40:47.220 i made a deal with nato a month ago you covered it very accurately actually we're we don't pay anything
01:40:53.220 anymore you know we're not paying anything they are buying things from us and nato is paying us
01:40:58.180 i got it raised from two percent of gdp to five percent and they're paying us for everything that
01:41:05.220 we send we're not paying but biden approved 350 billion dollars europe has spent a hundred billion
01:41:12.980 the money that's been spent and the death is incredible it's the worst thing that's happened
01:41:17.060 by far the worst that's happened since world war ii so i'm going in to speak to vladimir putin
01:41:24.980 and i'm going to be telling him you got to end this war you got to end it
01:41:29.220 and he wasn't going to mess with me he was this war would have never happened
01:41:33.780 you know we had a discussion about it one time and we never had that discussion again would have never
01:41:37.940 happened and when the election was rigged and then biden took office which was barely took office
01:41:45.220 the auto pen took office bad things started happening bad things stupid things were said
01:41:51.380 and it ended up in a war and you know the big and i don't believe this will happen anymore because i
01:41:56.820 have that pretty well covered this could end up in a third world war this could have been a third world
01:42:02.100 i don't think that's going to happen now uh but i thought it was very respectful that the president of
01:42:09.140 russia uh is coming to our country as opposed to us going to his country or even a third third party
01:42:16.820 place but uh i think we'll have uh constructive conversations then after that meeting immediately
01:42:24.180 maybe as i'm flying out maybe as i'm leaving the room i'll be calling the european leader so i get
01:42:29.700 along with very well and uh you know i have a great relationship i think with all of them
01:42:34.900 uh and i get along with zelensky but you know i disagree with what he's done very very severely
01:42:42.020 disagree this is a war that should have never happened wouldn't have happened but i'll be
01:42:46.500 speaking to zelensky the next meeting will be with zelensky and putin or zelensky and putin and me
01:42:52.500 i'll be there if they need but i want to have a meeting set up between the two leaders i was a
01:42:58.100 little uh bothered by the fact that zelensky was saying well i have to get constitutional approval
01:43:02.980 i mean he's he's got approval to go into war and kill everybody but he needs a approval to do a land
01:43:08.660 swap because there'll be some land swapping going on i know that through russia and through
01:43:14.980 conversations with everybody to the good for the good of ukraine good stuff not bad stuff also some
01:43:21.940 bad stuff for both so it's good and there's bad but it's very complex because you have lines that are
01:43:28.020 very uneven and there'll be some swapping there'll be some changes in land and the word that they will
01:43:35.860 use is you know they they make changes we're going to change the lines the battle lines russia's occupied
01:43:42.180 a big portion of ukraine uh they've occupied some very prime territory we're going to try and get some
01:43:47.460 of that territory back for ukraine but they've taken some very prime territory they've taken largely
01:43:52.740 uh ocean you know in real estate we call it oceanfront property that's always the most valuable property
01:43:59.300 if you're in a lake a river or an ocean it's always the best property well uh ukraine a lot of people
01:44:05.220 don't know that ukraine was largely a thousand miles of ocean that's gone other than one small
01:44:14.260 area odessa it's a small area there's just a little bit of water left so i'm going to go and see the
01:44:20.820 parameters now i may leave and say good luck and that'll be the end i may say this this is not going
01:44:27.620 to be settled i mean there are those that uh believe that putin wanted all of ukraine i happen to be
01:44:33.220 one of them by the way uh i think if it weren't for me he would not be even talking to anybody else right
01:44:38.820 now but i'm going to meet with him we're going to see what the parameters are i'm then going to call up
01:44:44.820 uh president zielinski and the european leaders right after the meeting yeah and i'm going to tell
01:44:51.940 them what kind of a deal i'm not going to make a deal it's not up to me to make a deal i think a
01:44:56.180 deal should be made for both i think russia has to get back into building their country it's a massive
01:45:01.540 country i think they have 11 time zones if you can believe it it's a massive it's by far uh from the
01:45:07.540 standpoint of land it's by far the largest they have tremendous potential in russia to do well they're not
01:45:13.700 doing well their economy is not doing well right now because it's been very well disturbed by this
01:45:19.380 doesn't help when the president of the united states tells their largest or second largest
01:45:24.340 uh oil buyer that we're putting a 50 percent tariff on you if you buy oil from russia that was a
01:45:30.980 that was a big blow and then they say gee he wasn't so tough nobody else would have done that and i
01:45:36.580 haven't stopped there i mean look i was all set to do things far bigger than that but i got to call
01:45:43.620 that they'd like to meet and i'm going to see what they want to meet about i'd like to see a ceasefire
01:45:49.140 i'd like to see the best deal that could be made for both parties you know it takes two to tango right
01:45:55.700 so ultimately uh i'll have a meeting next week i had a great relationship with him considering the
01:46:00.980 fact that you know i was not nice to him because of the uh pipeline i i ended the pipeline i also gave
01:46:08.660 the javelins do you ever hear of a javelin javelin is called a tank buster uh they say that obama gave
01:46:16.100 them sheets and i gave them javelins they've worn for me all those tanks that were destroyed at the
01:46:22.420 first days of the war because the tanks got stuck in the mud some commander made a better you know
01:46:27.460 they would have been they would have been in kiev in four hours going down the highway but a russian
01:46:35.860 general made a brilliant decision to go through the farmland instead and they just had torrential
01:46:40.980 rains and the rains were so bad and it was mud and those tanks got stuck in the mud i don't know who
01:46:46.260 that general is but knowing vladimir he's probably not around any longer because all those tanks were
01:46:52.500 stuck in the mud and they went along with the javelins i got i gave him the javelins you know that right
01:46:57.940 i gave him javelins they gave him sheets uh but i'm going to uh i'm going to meet with president
01:47:04.660 putin and we're going to see uh what he has in mind and if it's a fair deal i'll reveal it to the
01:47:11.620 european union leaders and to the nato leaders and also to president zielinski i think out of respect
01:47:18.500 i'll call him first uh and then i'll call them after and i may say lots of luck keep fighting
01:47:26.580 or i may say we can make a deal i will tell you this i've seen a poll coming out of ukraine
01:47:34.100 88 percent of the people would like to see a deal made and if you go back three years everybody was
01:47:41.140 gung-ho for war you know everybody's gung-ho for war until you have it it's an amazing thing i had it
01:47:46.740 with a couple of countries where i couldn't get a deal done with one particular country and i just
01:47:53.780 couldn't the guy's great he's a friend of mine great good leader tough as hell i couldn't get
01:47:58.980 the deal done and then he went into war for a short period of time you know where i'm talking about
01:48:03.060 first term and it was nasty guys being killed all over the place and he went through one week of war
01:48:10.980 and i was able to get the deal done he said this is nasty yes please just to follow up on what you
01:48:16.980 were saying there first of all vladimir zielinski is not invited on friday he wasn't a part of it
01:48:23.700 uh i would say he could go but he's gone to a lot of meetings you know he's been there for three and
01:48:28.100 a half years nothing happened i mean you want somebody that's been doing this for three and a half
01:48:32.420 years what's the definition of a good deal i'll tell you after i hear what the deal is because there
01:48:37.620 could be many definitions you know you're talking about a a very large and complex situation i tell
01:48:44.180 you the war that i just settled with azerbaijan and with as you know and armenia was almost as
01:48:53.220 complex as this one having to do with routes well we're going to have a meeting with vladimir putin
01:48:59.700 and at the end of that meeting probably in the first two minutes i'll know exactly whether or not a deal
01:49:04.740 can be made because that's what i do i make deals
01:49:11.620 please go ahead thank you mr president i'm going to ask you uh two questions one about china one
01:49:14.980 about russia if i could on china your administration agreed to send uh the most advanced or advanced
01:49:21.700 nvidia and amd chips no obsolete no obsolete well and then 15 percent of the problem in the 20s
01:49:28.260 no no that's this is an old chip that china already has and i deal with jensen who's a great guy and
01:49:39.060 nvidia uh the chip that we're talking about the h20 it's uh it's an old chip china already has it
01:49:48.100 in a different form different name but they have it uh or they have a combination of two will make up for
01:49:55.220 it and even then some now jensen also has jensen's a very brilliant guy and jensen also has a new chip
01:50:02.100 the blackwell do you know what the blackwell is the blackwell is super duper advanced i wouldn't make
01:50:08.260 a deal with that although it's possible i'd make a deal uh a somewhat uh enhanced in a negative way
01:50:19.460 blackwell in other words take 30 to 50 off of it but that's the latest and the greatest in the world
01:50:26.420 nobody has it they won't have it for five years but the h20 is obsolete you know it's one of those
01:50:31.460 things but it still has a market so i said listen i want 20 percent if i'm going to approve this for
01:50:37.140 you for the country for our country for the u.s i don't want it myself you know every time i say like
01:50:42.740 uh like 747 i want i want yeah for the air force so i just wanted so when i say i want 20 i want for
01:50:52.500 the country i only care about the country i don't care about myself and he said would you make it 15.
01:50:58.900 so we negotiate a little deal so he's selling a essentially old chip that huawei has a similar chip
01:51:10.180 a chip that does the same thing and i said good if i'm going to give it to you because they have a uh
01:51:15.700 you know they have a stopper what we call a stopper not allowed to do it it restricted it's really
01:51:21.460 known as a restrictive covenant and i said if i'm going to do that i want you to pay us as a country
01:51:26.980 something because i'm giving you a release i released them only from the h20 now on the blackwell
01:51:33.780 i think he's coming to see me again about that but that will be a uh unenhanced version of the big
01:51:42.660 one like i don't know if you know it we will sometimes sell fighter jets to a country and we'll
01:51:48.820 give them 20 percent less than we have do you know what i mean right that's the same
01:51:53.460 so on russia do you see a time mr president when there could be normal trade between the u.s
01:52:01.060 and russia should your meeting go well should there be peace i do russia has a very valuable
01:52:06.420 piece of land if vladimir putin would go toward business instead of toward war you know it's a
01:52:13.460 warring nation uh that's what they do they fight a lot of wars a friend of mine said russia's
01:52:19.300 tough because they just keep on fighting they beat hitler so did we and they beat napoleon you
01:52:25.220 know they've been doing this for a long time i asked a question to a very very smart
01:52:30.740 man that some people like and some people don't like victor orban right from hungary the head of
01:52:39.140 hungary and he's in that same area and knows the two countries very well i said this was before biden
01:52:48.660 didn't didn't do anything to get us out of it he could have gotten us out of that it would have never
01:52:52.580 happened i said so can russia be beaten by by ukraine he looked at me like what a stupid question
01:53:03.540 he said russia is a massive country and they win their country and they win their
01:53:10.180 life through wars they fight wars that's what they do he said china beat you with trade russia beat
01:53:18.580 you with war that was a very interesting statement china's not beating us with trade not when i'm in
01:53:24.420 charge but they were beating biden with trade but they never beat us with trade don't forget china
01:53:28.740 had to pay 400 billion dollars worth of tariffs when i was last time that was last time and if we didn't
01:53:34.660 have covid all of this stuff would already we would be loaded we you know we're finding hundreds of
01:53:40.660 billions of dollars of cash is pouring into our country now because of tariffs and all we're doing
01:53:47.860 is we're doing what they do to us it's so beautiful to see it they find they found last month as you saw 25
01:53:57.220 billion dollars of excess cash flow they say where did it come from i said i'll tell you where it came
01:54:02.660 from it came from a place called tariffs and we're doing very well we're really doing well but uh
01:54:10.100 i expect to have a meeting with putin that i i think it'll be good but it might be bad and i have hey
01:54:18.100 i'm here for one reason to get rid of a war that somebody else started should have never happened
01:54:24.580 and if i could end it great complex war a lot of a lot of bad blood a lot of bad blood but uh
01:54:32.340 zielinski's been there for three and a half years so i if you put him in a room now i will say this
01:54:39.220 ultimately i'm going to put the two of them in a room i'll be there or won't be there and i think
01:54:44.580 it'll get solved yeah please thank you mr president excuse me i'm going to suggest because could you
01:54:53.060 do you do you have any other questions on dc because i don't want them i don't want them to
01:55:00.500 be wait wait wait these are these are incredible people i don't want them to be standing up here
01:55:07.780 on subjects does anybody have a question of them and then
01:55:11.300 and then you guys can leave okay a question uh brian go ahead thank you mr president all right
01:55:20.980 and by the way this is only on dc and then they're going to leave because it's unfair to have them
01:55:26.820 stand up here all day long brian i've got two questions for you first about dc this is personal
01:55:32.500 for me as well last year i was robbed on the streets by one of these teenage thugs had a gun
01:55:40.180 got away with it let's talk about the effort that between law enforcement prosecutors and judges
01:55:46.820 because it's a you know recycling belt like these kids go they don't fear the police they know if you
01:55:53.220 talk about how we've got to get these judges and put these kids behind bars right adult crimes uh
01:55:59.460 deserve adult penalties and my second question i'll after you answer that please you want me to
01:56:04.980 answer whoever wants to do okay okay it's real do you want me to answer it all right
01:56:11.780 here's the problem assuming that they're 17 years uh older than 17 years old i can get the case
01:56:19.780 if they're under 18 years of age i can only get the case if it's murder rob one rape uh even if
01:56:27.460 they shoot a gun but don't kill you i can't get it so the law has to be changed as the president said
01:56:33.140 counselors bail that has to be changed all right then even assuming i get the case i get jurisdiction
01:56:39.380 i get a conviction the dc council has given the judges the ability to give probation on shootings
01:56:46.660 and so then it's up to them all of these things the youth rehabilitation incarceration reduction act
01:56:52.820 and now they want to seal records so if we work hard we get a conviction they want to wipe it out
01:56:58.020 so that needs all to be changed okay pam would you answer that yeah and just back to back to that topic
01:57:07.060 let's be clear though we're going to charge them and we're going to track every single thing they do
01:57:13.700 throughout every step of the court process and report back to you and let all of you know what's
01:57:19.940 happening to them because the people who are prosecuting them the judges who are trying them
01:57:25.060 they also need to be held accountable mr president this is the most people we've ever seen in this
01:57:32.820 briefing i've never seen ever right i've never seen any where's caroline where's where's my superstar
01:57:38.260 where's caroline come here caroline come here caroline come here is she doing a good job by the
01:57:51.460 way come here is this is this the largest crowd we've that you've ever seen this is definitely the
01:57:57.780 most packed briefing and i think all of you would agree i think it's why we need to build a ballroom
01:58:02.260 so no i don't want to make i don't want to make life comfortable
01:58:29.220 so look look look let's just do this let's do this uh it's going to be a big thing we're going to
01:58:37.060 russia that's going to be a big deal uh what happens happens i'll let you know what happens you'll be the
01:58:42.740 first to know i'll be calling the european leaders i'm going with totally i mean we have we have a lot
01:58:48.020 of talks they're great people they're great leaders actually and they want to get back honestly
01:58:51.540 uh as one of them said i've od'd on trying to settle ukraine they've od'd meaning they've overdosed
01:59:00.180 on the settlement of ukraine not a nice expression but boy is it accurate they're tired of it they want
01:59:06.740 to get back to spending money on their countries you know they're in we're in biden gave them 350
01:59:13.140 billion dollars europe gave 100 billion it should be much more than that shouldn't have been that
01:59:20.260 kind of they should have had equalization but they didn't but you know what still a lot of money
01:59:25.060 they want to get back to building their own countries they really want it resolved my relationship
01:59:29.780 with the european leaders as you saw is extremely good like it's it's perfect it's beautiful wait wait wait
01:59:37.460 and and we're going to try uh they'll i'll be in touch with them i have five of them called me
01:59:44.100 now you think it's easy there's a lot of european leaders but they rely on me very much rely on me
01:59:49.940 if it wasn't for me this thing would never get solved until the last person breathing is dead
01:59:57.540 i'm talking to him right now so i'm talking to the european leaders
02:00:00.900 i'll be talking to president zelensky i'm going to get everybody's ideas i go into that thing fully
02:00:06.100 loaded right up there and we're going to see what happens now i think one of two things is going
02:00:12.180 to happen it could be a good meeting and we'll go a step further we'll get it done i'd like to see a
02:00:17.060 ceasefire very very quickly very quick i'd like to see it immediately but i'd like to see it very
02:00:22.020 quickly and we're going to be dealing with the european leaders and we're going to be dealing with
02:00:27.060 president zelensky and hopefully we're going to have a great success as far as this what we did today
02:00:33.780 and i i think you were here for dc more so than even russia because russia will be you know we have
02:00:41.060 a couple of days to go but the russia is going to be very interesting but to me what uh is very
02:00:46.580 exciting and we're going to take back our capital we're going to make it beautiful again but we're
02:00:50.980 going to make it more importantly safe again it's going to be so safe it's going to be a model and then
