Bannon's War Room - Episode 4792： Trump Signs Executive Order Charging Migrants For H1B Visas

00:00:00.000 Michael Anton from the State Department, he's just authored the National Security Strategy.

00:00:04.800 Also in the mix is Mike Flynn and Steve Whitcroft. Can you give us an indication?

00:00:08.900 Well, they're all good. We'll make a decision soon. But we're doing very well.

00:00:13.160 You know, I settled seven wars more than that, I think. But actually, we settled seven wars.

00:00:18.220 I have, we're working on Gaza. It's a tough one. But we'll get it done somehow.

00:00:23.460 And we're also working with Russia and Ukraine. They hate each other so much, you wouldn't believe it.

00:00:30.000 President Putin and President Zelensky, they hate each other to a level that you wouldn't believe.

00:00:35.280 So I'm having a little bit of a problem with that.

00:00:37.820 And are you considering Stephen Moran for Fed chair?

00:00:41.020 Too much. He's doing a great job. Just got approved. His vote was a very good one.

00:00:46.020 The Fed should have done more. You know, too late. Powell is terrible. He's a terrible chair.

00:00:51.180 I think he's just terrible. But despite that, we're powering through it.

00:00:56.300 We have another record stock market today.

00:00:58.460 We're very, very high levels. And we're at the highest levels.

00:01:03.280 So we're setting records. Many, many days during my administration, we've set records.

00:01:07.740 And we'll see what happens with 50,000. 50,000 is a pretty big number.

00:01:13.080 Never come close. We're not so far away from it.

00:01:16.060 So that's because they see what's happening.

00:01:18.440 Not so much what's happening exactly right now, but they see all the plans that are being built.

00:01:22.800 They say, you see the kind of investment that's going to be made when you take 17 trillion dollars.

00:01:30.480 So Biden had 250 billion.

00:01:34.620 We're putting a simpler way. They had much less than a trillion, but they had less than a trillion for four years.

00:01:43.880 I have 17 trillion for eight months.

00:01:48.460 Nobody's ever seen anything like it.

00:01:51.100 And I think they're looking at that and they're saying, when those plans open right now, they're being built.

00:01:56.200 A lot of them. And some are starting over the next year.

00:01:59.500 Takes a while, but we're getting fast permits.

00:02:02.060 And when those plans get built, I don't think there'll be anything like what we're going to experience yet.

00:02:07.480 Mr. President, if I can, on the subject of free speech, Ted Cruz compared Brendan Carr to a mob boss,

00:02:15.020 the way he's threatening television stations and saying it's absolutely dangerous for the government to determine which speech is okay and which is not.

00:02:24.420 What's your reaction to Ted Cruz?

00:02:25.720 I think Brendan Carr is an incredible American patriot with courage.

00:02:30.120 You know, it used to be, I remember in the old days that networks would have to get licensed, relicensed, and it was always a big deal.

00:02:37.920 You know, they had to show honesty and integrity.

00:02:41.260 When you have a network, again, I'll use the same numbers, whether it's 90 or 94 or 97, all different numbers.

00:02:48.060 But when you have networks that give somebody 97 percent bad publicity or 94 percent bad publicity, I think that's dishonesty.

00:02:58.460 And, you know, they're getting free airwaves, right?

00:03:02.000 You know that, right?

00:03:02.860 You get them for nothing.

00:03:03.700 These airwaves, they make millions and millions of dollars.

00:03:06.180 The news makes millions of dollars.

00:03:07.860 ABC, your network.

00:03:09.920 I mean, your network wrote very badly about me, and they had to pay me $16 million.

00:03:14.440 So do you think you're also looking for that Brendan Carr has a right to take away the license?

00:03:19.060 I think Brendan Carr is a courageous person.

00:03:21.040 I think Brendan Carr doesn't like to see the airwaves be used illegally and incorrectly and purposely horribly.

00:03:31.860 Doesn't like to see a person that won the election in a landslide get 97 percent bad publicity before the election.

00:03:39.380 I mean, it's amazing that I won the election with that.

00:03:43.900 But here's what happened.

00:03:45.460 The people have given your networks no credibility.

00:03:48.420 They don't give them any credibility, John.

00:03:50.120 If they did, they wouldn't vote for me.

00:03:51.800 They wouldn't have voted for me.

00:03:53.580 When you look at, I mean, you could also say the liberal media, the liberal left.

00:04:00.100 When you look at these stories and papers, but we're not talking about that.

00:04:03.840 We're talking about, I assume you're talking mostly about the networks.

00:04:07.060 But they have a licensing procedure, and you can read it as well.

00:04:10.260 They have to show honesty and integrity.

00:04:14.300 And when they take a good, well, I think the people decide.

00:04:18.660 That's why I'm president.

00:04:20.160 When they take a great success, like you often do, and you make it into like it's a loser, or you put a negative spin on it, I don't think that's right.

00:04:30.760 So I think Brendan Carr is a great American patriot.

00:04:33.680 So I disagree with Ted Cruz on that.

00:04:35.240 I'll be at the U.N. next week.

00:04:39.960 You're going to the U.N.

00:04:40.740 I'll be at the U.N.

00:04:41.460 I'll be making a speech, yes.

00:04:42.940 And are you meeting any other world leaders?

00:04:44.640 Many of them.

00:04:45.860 Or are you meeting me, Mr. President?

00:04:47.560 Well, I'm just meeting them.

00:04:49.120 Syria.

00:04:49.300 They're being set up.

00:04:50.480 What is your goal from attending that meeting?

00:04:52.340 What do you hope to get out of?

00:04:54.500 World peace.

00:04:55.320 Nobody's done a better job than I've done in world peace.

00:04:59.280 Nobody's settled so many wars as I have.

00:05:04.780 You know, I've been here probably a little bit more than eight months, and I've settled seven.

00:05:11.140 And that doesn't include the destruction of a vast potential nuclear disaster in Iran, which we wiped out, totally, as I say, obliterated. 0.80

00:05:23.560 We obliterated it.

00:05:24.840 It's been turned right with this beautiful plane right here.

00:05:27.120 We just ordered some more of them, by the way.

00:05:29.420 The B-2 bomber.

00:05:30.460 Just ordered some more of them.

00:05:31.860 The more updated version.

00:05:34.480 Not that we needed that.

00:05:36.500 We just need the plane because it was so flawless.

00:05:38.680 These pilots flew 37 hours flawlessly.

00:05:43.400 Not an engine problem.

00:05:44.760 Not a screw.

00:05:46.160 Not a bolt came loose.

00:05:47.600 It was an amazing.

00:05:49.340 Compare that to many years ago.

00:05:51.280 Jimmy Carter.

00:05:52.040 Same country with the helicopters and the problems and the prisoners and the hostages.

00:05:59.520 What a mess.

00:06:00.900 You know, these planes flew 37 hours without a stop.

00:06:05.720 They fueled up.

00:06:06.760 We had 52 tankers fueling the planes along the way.

00:06:09.780 It was an incredible.

00:06:11.160 And every single bomb hit its mark.

00:06:13.180 And then we fired 30 of them from submarines, from a submarine.

00:06:18.740 What a job that was.

00:06:20.600 And I don't even include that.

00:06:22.700 But that stopped a war.

00:06:23.700 That stopped maybe a catastrophic war.

00:06:27.000 Mr. President.

00:06:27.580 So, you know, so I think that nobody has ever done anywhere near that.

00:06:32.380 Now, on top of that, we're working very hard to get Russia-Ukraine settled.

00:06:36.540 We'll see what's going to happen there.

00:06:38.060 I hope we're going to get it done.

00:06:39.780 President Xi and I spoke to him about it.

00:06:41.740 And I believe that he really would like to see it done also.

00:06:45.240 And I think he's going to work with us to help.

00:06:46.880 What was your message to President Xi on the war in Ukraine?

00:06:54.140 What are you asking?

00:06:54.660 Well, it's the same as his message to me.

00:06:56.640 He would like to see it done.

00:06:57.860 He would like to see it.

00:06:58.780 I believe he would like to see it ended.

00:07:00.600 Yes.

00:07:01.140 I do believe.

00:07:01.820 Mr. President, these two wars that you were talking about, Gaza and Ukraine, are escalating

00:07:07.360 at the same time.

00:07:08.120 You're going to take the stage at the U.N. back at the stage after these years.

00:07:12.160 Do you plan to setting any kind of red lines for these two countries?

00:07:17.020 And you said before you were frustrated with Putin.

00:07:19.580 Are you also frustrated with Netanyahu?

00:07:20.820 We have a long time to go before I get up and speak at the U.N.

00:07:23.500 Because every day is a long time when it comes to Gaza, when it comes to Israel and the Middle East.

00:07:29.720 So we have a long time to go, but you know a lot of my opinions.

00:07:36.020 And remember this, you can't forget October 7th either.

00:07:39.280 People are forgetting October 7th.

00:07:41.100 They forget it too quickly.

00:07:42.240 That was one of the worst days in world history.

00:07:45.180 It was the most evil attack that I think you could really say babies were involved, little babies were involved.

00:07:52.440 Having their heads chopped off and all of the things that took place.

00:07:56.540 You can't forget that. 0.59

00:07:57.580 I don't forget that.

00:07:58.320 A lot of people do, but I don't.

00:07:59.520 What goes into retaking Bagram?

00:08:03.960 Does that require boots on the ground?

00:08:06.180 We'll see what happens with Bagram.

00:08:08.040 We're talking to Afghanistan.

00:08:11.480 It should have never been given up.

00:08:13.340 It was the most embarrassing day in the history of our country.

00:08:16.080 There was no reason to give it up.

00:08:17.460 I was leaving Afghanistan.

00:08:19.600 I was leaving.

00:08:20.460 I was the one that got it down to 5,000 soldiers.

00:08:22.740 But we were going to keep Bagram, the air base.

00:08:26.160 I said it yesterday, and we had an incredible trip, as you know, to UK.

00:08:30.460 And I said it during the press conference.

00:08:33.080 It's one of the most powerful runways ever built in terms of weight, length, and load, what it could take.

00:08:42.740 And we just gave it up for nothing.

00:08:44.220 We gave it up for nothing.

00:08:45.040 There was no reason to give it up.

00:08:46.280 We weren't going to leave Bagram.

00:08:47.200 And Joe Biden didn't know what he was doing.

00:08:51.060 We had a man that didn't know what he was doing.

00:08:52.740 We had a man, by the way, that didn't approve.

00:08:57.080 If you take a look at what's happening in Congress,

00:08:59.660 we had a man that signed everything with almost everything with an auto pen.

00:09:04.500 And he didn't tell the people from the auto pen, whoever was using it.

00:09:07.760 The one man that used it predominantly said that Biden only spoke to him twice,

00:09:12.880 and it was only about the weather.

00:09:14.800 Okay, it was about nothing.

00:09:16.560 So those pardons that he gave are illegal.

00:09:19.460 He gave illegal pardons.

00:09:21.020 And that includes the congressman that destroyed and deleted all the information from J6.

00:09:28.500 They deleted everything because it turned out that they were wrong.

00:09:32.180 It turned out that I offered 10,000 National Guard or soldiers, whatever they wanted,

00:09:39.140 and you wouldn't have had a problem.

00:09:40.560 And they turned it down.

00:09:41.520 Nancy Pelosi turned it down. 0.80

00:09:43.000 And the mayor of Washington, D.C. turned it down.

00:09:45.600 They deleted everything, and they destroyed it.

00:09:48.020 Illegally destroyed it.

00:09:49.060 And Biden gave them a pardon.

00:09:51.760 And Biden gave a lot of other people pardons that, frankly, would be in jail if it wasn't for those pardons.

00:09:56.820 But those pardons now are illegal, according to just about everybody.

00:10:00.860 What was your happy name?

00:10:02.100 On Letitia James, are you disappointed that the U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia

00:10:06.600 has not prosecuted Letitia James?

00:10:09.200 Do you intend to fire him?

00:10:10.800 Well, we're going to see what happens.

00:10:12.480 I am not following it very closely.

00:10:14.780 It looks to me like she's very guilty of something, but I really don't know.

00:10:18.200 I know that the U.S. attorney from the Eastern District, or from that district in Virginia,

00:10:25.160 that he was approved by two Democrat senators who, in my opinion, are among the worst.

00:10:32.180 And when I learned that two senators, Democrats, because, as you know, it's very hard with the blue slip,

00:10:37.240 it's very hard for a Republican to get somebody approved if you have one senator that's a Democrat

00:10:42.600 because of an old custom.

00:10:44.620 It's not a law.

00:10:45.680 It's a custom. 0.96

00:10:46.380 It's a ridiculous custom.

00:10:48.500 But if you have a Democrat senator, you have to get that senator to approve.

00:10:51.880 Well, in this case, we had two.

00:10:54.040 When I saw that he got two senators, two gentlemen that are bad news, as far as I'm concerned,

00:11:02.060 when I saw that he got approved by those two men, I said, pull it, because he can't be any good.

00:11:08.020 So you want him fired?

00:11:09.620 You want him out?

00:11:10.800 Yeah, I want him out, yeah.

00:11:11.860 When I learned that he was blue-slipped through by two Democrat senators in Virginia,

00:11:19.360 people that would never vote for him, people that haven't voted for us for probably years,

00:11:26.380 okay, probably years, in my opinion, two bad guys.

00:11:31.140 You know, they are, Warner and Kane.

00:11:33.160 Two bad guys.

00:11:34.140 Bad senators, too.

00:11:35.120 They do a terrible job for the people of Virginia.

00:11:37.540 But when I saw that he got approved by these two terrible people that haven't voted,

00:11:41.380 they just don't vote, no matter what it is, we could give them the greatest deal ever,

00:11:46.480 and they still wouldn't vote.

00:11:47.740 And they voted for this guy, and I have other people, judges,

00:11:51.980 and I have U.S. attorneys from other states where I have the same situation,

00:11:56.220 and they can't get approved.

00:11:59.020 So when I learned that they voted for him, I said, I don't really want him.

00:12:02.500 Okay.

00:12:05.120 Have you seen the polling, the Gallup poll out of Ukraine,

00:12:10.960 that shows 23% less than a quarter of Ukrainians actually support continuing the war against Putin?

00:12:16.820 We saw the European leaders come here and try to say the world is united for the war effort,

00:12:21.460 but Ukrainians have war fatigue themselves.

00:12:23.620 Have you seen the polling and your thoughts on it?

00:12:25.280 I don't blame them.

00:12:26.240 It's a war that never should have started.

00:12:27.940 It's a war that never would have happened.

00:12:29.560 If I were president, that war never would have happened, ever.

00:12:33.780 That's a disgrace that that war happened.

00:12:35.860 And they're losing anywhere from 5,000 to 8,000 people a week on that war,

00:12:40.960 which is the worst since the Second World War.

00:12:43.540 That's a war that should have never happened.

00:12:45.320 And it would have never happened.

00:12:47.440 And it didn't happen for four years.

00:12:49.100 When I was here, it didn't happen.

00:12:50.400 Go ahead.

00:12:50.800 Have you considered cutting funding, even promises made by the Biden administration?

00:12:53.940 Well, we're not spending any money on the war.

00:12:55.820 You know, we're being paid for everything we've said.

00:12:58.040 Unlike Biden, he gave them $350 billion.

00:13:01.580 And it's just, it was shocking.

00:13:03.660 We're not spending any money on the war.

00:13:06.080 The war is being funded by NATO.

00:13:08.960 NATO is buying our equipment.

00:13:10.500 In fact, we're, I don't want to make money on that war.

00:13:13.220 I don't want to, but we are actually making money on that war

00:13:16.220 because they're buying our equipment, as you know.

00:13:18.040 But we, NATO, as you know, it's very important, is funding the entire thing.

00:13:24.260 They're paying for the missiles, for the tanks.

00:13:27.120 They're paying for any, anything they're sent over there.

00:13:29.480 It goes to NATO.

00:13:30.380 And then NATO does what they want with it.

00:13:32.520 In this case, I guess they give it to Ukraine.

00:13:35.420 It's a very sad war.

00:13:37.800 It's a war that never should have happened.

00:13:39.460 Mr. President, Mr. President, Mr. President, Mr. President, Mr. President, Mr. President.

00:13:44.800 Going back to TikTok, could you tell me,

00:13:46.800 is the U.S. government going to take a board seat in the company?

00:13:49.740 And will the U.S. government get a board seat within the company?

00:13:53.240 Well, we're going to announce that.

00:13:54.340 Are you talking about TikTok?

00:13:55.440 Yeah, we're going to announce it.

00:13:57.240 But it's a great deal for our country.

00:13:58.960 It's a great deal for all of the young people in the country that wanted it.

00:14:02.140 And people generally, I was happy with it.

00:14:04.700 Look, I wasn't a fan of TikTok.

00:14:06.100 And then I got to use it, and I became a fan, and it helped me win the election in a landslide.

00:14:11.760 So I think that it's a deal that's going to be great.

00:14:16.380 And it's also controlled by very powerful and very substantial American people.

00:14:23.260 By the way, all American people.

00:14:25.440 Mr. President, a question from Newsmax.

00:14:30.880 Last year, before you took office, there was an estimated 6.8 million men not actively seeking work of prime working age.

00:14:39.020 So if you and Secretary Lutnik could talk about the efforts your administration is taking to help our American gentlemen get back to work.

00:14:45.960 Yeah, well, what we're doing is they're building plants all over the United States.

00:14:49.260 And frankly, because of tariffs, we're taking in trillions of dollars, trillions of dollars.

00:14:54.840 And countries that have ripped us off for years, and everyone knows this, countries that have ripped us off for years, like nobody's ever been ripped off before, they're now having to pay up.

00:15:05.560 They're paying a lot of money to America.

00:15:08.700 And we're reducing taxes with that money, and we're doing things that we were never able to do before.

00:15:15.860 So you're going to have a lot of jobs.

00:15:18.540 The jobs are being created right now.

00:15:20.580 And the tariffs are protecting our country.

00:15:23.600 And tariffs were used against us, but we didn't use them against others.

00:15:29.820 But we're really better at it than anybody else.

00:15:32.700 So we've taken in, we will have taken in trillions of dollars.

00:15:37.700 Nobody has ever seen anything.

00:15:39.220 Even people that were against the tariffs, now they see the way they're working.

00:15:42.320 And by the way, with no inflation, with no problem, we're just building up cash.

00:15:47.880 And we're using that cash to reduce taxes, reduce debt, and other things.

00:15:54.360 It's a great thing to watch.

00:15:55.780 And your honest reporters are saying they've never seen anything like what's happening.

00:16:01.180 Our country is becoming very rich again only because of tariffs.

00:16:04.540 If we didn't have it, if we didn't have, if I didn't get elected, this country would be, it was a dead country.

00:16:11.560 Look, we were a dead country a year ago, and now we're the most successful, most vibrant country anywhere in the world.

00:16:18.460 Thank you, sir.

00:16:18.820 I have a question about health care.

00:16:21.240 Good evening, sir.

00:16:21.660 Good to see you.

00:16:22.300 You're good on television.

00:16:23.460 Thank you, sir.

00:16:23.960 I tried.

00:16:25.560 Tonight, in a few minutes, Steve Bannon will appear on my show.

00:16:28.200 He floats the idea that you should dual-hat Secretary of Treasury Scott Besant, not only as Treasury Secretary, but as interim Fed chair.

00:16:36.720 Would you be willing to entertain that?

00:16:38.300 In other words, you like Scott.

00:16:39.880 Yes, sir, very much.

00:16:40.860 So do I.

00:16:41.860 And I like Steve, too.

00:16:43.340 Would you like to see that dual-hat as his future?

00:16:45.640 Well, it's certainly an interest.

00:16:46.120 Dual-hat.

00:16:47.200 It could save a little bit of salary.

00:16:48.980 I think I could maybe make a deal where we just give him one salary.

00:16:52.480 You know, I have a couple of them.

00:16:53.580 I don't think you need them.

00:16:54.260 I have Marco.

00:16:54.900 We have Marco who's got about three positions, right?

00:16:59.740 He's doing great also.

00:17:01.060 No, I don't think that's going to be necessary.

00:17:03.440 Actually, I went to Scott and I talked to him about that position.

00:17:09.320 And he loves what he's doing right now.

00:17:11.560 So, you know, he's not in the mix because he loves being Secretary of the Treasury.

00:17:15.820 Please follow up.

00:17:16.400 Today is the first day of early voting in the Commonwealth of Virginia.

00:17:19.360 Are you planning on campaigning for Winsome Sears, John Reed, or Jason Mayaris?

00:17:23.700 Well, I'm going to have to look at some of them.

00:17:26.240 As you know, you know, it's sort of a semi-local election.

00:17:30.660 I've been watching it.

00:17:31.440 I've been seeing the others.

00:17:32.280 I would appreciate it as a Virginia voter.

00:17:33.900 Who do you like of the group?

00:17:35.040 Who do you like?

00:17:35.480 The whole ticket, sir.

00:17:36.360 All of them?

00:17:36.820 You like them?

00:17:37.400 All of them, yes, sir.

00:17:37.720 I'll take a very strong look.

00:17:39.220 For you, I'm going to look.

00:17:40.740 Mr. President, Secretary Kennedy's panel on vaccine changed its broad recommendations on COVID-19 vaccines today.

00:17:50.480 Are you comfortable with that change, or would you like to see Americans take the vaccines that were developed under your tenure?

00:17:56.780 Yeah.

00:17:57.520 Well, the vaccines, according to a lot of people, and if you look at George, have had a tremendous, you know, Operation Warp Speed.

00:18:03.780 It was, just according to just about everybody, it was one of the greatest things that any president has ever done in this country.

00:18:11.660 So we're very proud of it.

00:18:12.720 I'm very proud of it.

00:18:14.020 I'm also very proud of Regeneron and some of the things that came out of, you know, all of the labs and all of the research that we've done.

00:18:22.720 So I don't know exactly what the final determination is, but I had the vaccine.

00:18:27.400 I was very happy with it.

00:18:28.520 Here I am, right?

00:18:29.480 Here I am.

00:18:29.860 Bobby Kennedy seems to be undoing what you did with Operation Warp Speed.

00:18:35.780 I put him in there because I want to have opposite views.

00:18:38.480 That's okay.

00:18:39.780 I think we're going to have something very, very big coming up soon on autism.

00:18:44.480 Autism is totally out of control.

00:18:47.040 And one of the biggest, one of the most important things that, in my opinion, I had to do is to see what's going on with autism.

00:18:55.100 And we're going to have a news conference early next week on autism.

00:18:59.920 And I think you're going to see some things that are amazing that we've learned that somebody else wouldn't have learned.

00:19:05.400 It's out of control.

00:19:06.980 Autism, out of control.

00:19:09.360 And I think we maybe have the reason why.

00:19:12.460 But is Bobby Kennedy going too far in unwinding the vaccines?

00:19:16.480 He's saying for older people, a lot of people agree with that.

00:19:21.560 And, but I can tell you this, Operation Warp Speed, one of the greatest things a president has ever done for this country.

00:19:30.700 And you can say the world, because when we came up with that vaccine, the whole world opened up.

00:19:36.100 But I put Bobby there as somebody that will go either way.

00:19:41.400 And I want, you know, I want the facts.

00:19:43.780 But I also look at facts from Pfizer, where they spent a lot of money, and the other drug companies, they spent a lot of money on finding out the results after the fact.

00:19:53.400 And the results were amazingly good.

00:19:56.800 Mr. President, I'll do your conversation.

00:19:59.260 I'm wondering if you've seen the video put out by former Israeli hostages that's addressed to you, one as a widow of one that died.

00:20:05.860 And these are people who are freed thanks to you.

00:20:08.220 But they're actually encouraging you to force a ceasefire, force Netanyahu to a ceasefire.

00:20:13.060 And they didn't address it to him because they think you're the one who might actually listen to them and get it done.

00:20:17.640 They're worried that the hostages who are still there are more at risk if the war continues.

00:20:21.900 Your thoughts on it?

00:20:22.600 Mr. Well, they might be.

00:20:23.660 They also, maybe they'll be freed because of that.

00:20:27.240 You know, you never know how it's going to.

00:20:28.260 Look, war, I was saying, yes. 0.99

00:20:29.760 War, a lot of strange things happen.

00:20:32.680 A lot of results take place that you would never think were going to happen.

00:20:38.160 As you know, I was able to get most of the hostages out.

00:20:41.460 We're down to 20.

00:20:43.380 And we have 32 dead people.

00:20:47.060 You know that.

00:20:47.920 We have 32, maybe more, 38.

00:20:50.400 But between 32 and 38 people that were dead, mostly young people.

00:20:55.300 And I've dealt with some of the parents.

00:20:57.320 And we got all our Americans out, as you know. 0.96

00:21:01.080 But now we're talking about mostly Israelis.

00:21:03.780 But I dealt with parents.

00:21:05.140 I spoke to parents.

00:21:06.240 And they want the body of their son.

00:21:09.860 I believe in almost all cases, sons.

00:21:12.420 But they want the body of their cherished, beautiful son.

00:21:15.460 They want the body back as much as though he were alive.

00:21:18.980 It's so sad to see.

00:21:22.200 But I've dealt with the mothers and fathers.

00:21:24.440 Please, sir, please.

00:21:25.960 The body of my son.

00:21:27.040 They know he's dead.

00:21:27.760 And they just want him back.

00:21:31.780 They want him back as much as though he's alive.

00:21:34.400 I mean, it's very terrible.

00:21:38.820 And, you know, we have very close to 40 bodies that are included in the whole thing.

00:21:45.800 But we have 20, probably 20, that are living.

00:21:48.420 It might be a little bit less because a couple of things.

00:21:51.260 Look, young people don't die.

00:21:52.960 Okay?

00:21:53.160 They just don't die.

00:21:54.840 And they can take a lot.

00:21:55.780 But these, a lot of people died in these horrible tunnels.

00:22:02.360 They're mostly in the tunnels.

00:22:04.140 I know a lot about it.

00:22:05.620 I got them out.

00:22:06.660 I got them out.

00:22:07.700 But I always said the last 20, when you get down to the last 10 or 20, it's going to be very tough.

00:22:12.520 It's a nasty, it's a nasty situation.

00:22:15.600 You can't forget October 7th, but it's a nasty situation.

00:22:19.520 Terrible.

00:22:20.120 Mr. President, on Gaza, the UN concluded this week that Israel committed genocide in Gaza.

00:22:25.420 What are your thoughts on that?

00:22:26.740 Well, I haven't seen that.

00:22:27.800 I'm looking at it.

00:22:29.100 But did anybody commit genocide on October 7th?

00:22:33.600 What do you think about that?

00:22:36.160 That was genocide at the highest level.

00:22:40.000 That was murder, genocide. 0.85

00:22:42.880 You can call it whatever you want.

00:22:44.640 But little babies were chopped in half.

00:22:47.560 Arms were cut off people.

00:22:49.160 Heads were cut off people.

00:22:51.280 That's genocide.

00:22:52.160 That's genocide also, I guess.

00:22:53.980 What do you think?

00:22:54.440 Mr. President, is the president a question on your head that's deployed in?

00:22:57.400 Is the president getting a fee from that deal?

00:22:58.580 What is that fee going to be?

00:22:59.840 Well, it hasn't been fully negotiated, but we'll get something from the standpoint that

00:23:04.480 we worked hard.

00:23:06.700 We put up a lot.

00:23:07.580 We spent a lot of money on letting this come and letting this, you know, it's a very, very big deal.

00:23:15.860 It's a very powerful deal.

00:23:17.720 And the United States really, I see it.

00:23:22.540 I mean, people were saying, save TikTok, save TikTok.

00:23:25.340 So many people.

00:23:26.820 It's a big thing.

00:23:27.680 And, you know, China can be very proud that they were able to get that started.

00:23:30.940 And so I very much appreciate President Xi's working with us on that.

00:23:35.340 Very much.

00:23:35.900 Mr. President, on Antifa, what comes next after designating Antifa a terrorist organization?

00:23:45.400 We're going to designate, too.

00:23:46.960 But we're going to look at the people that funded Antifa, see who they are, where they

00:23:50.960 came from, and why they did.

00:23:52.520 Have you seen Portland at all?

00:23:54.400 If you take a look at what's happening in Portland, it's amazing.

00:23:58.620 This has been going on for years.

00:24:01.140 They're just people out of control. 1.00

00:24:02.900 They're crazy. 0.96

00:24:03.740 We're going to stop that very soon.

00:24:05.140 We have to get rid of a couple of other problems first.

00:24:07.680 We're going to get rid of the problems in Memphis, where you can't even walk a block without

00:24:12.180 getting shot.

00:24:12.940 We're going to get rid of the problems in Chicago. 0.57

00:24:15.920 Chicago's a great city, and we have to save it.

00:24:18.400 We have to save it.

00:24:19.260 I told you I had the head of the Union Pacific Railroad in my office, and I said, so what

00:24:24.120 do you think?

00:24:24.640 You go to every city.

00:24:25.820 You have railroads in every yard, our biggest railroad, beautiful railroad.

00:24:29.440 He's a great guy.

00:24:31.280 I said, what do you think?

00:24:32.240 He said, sir, save Chicago.

00:24:34.960 Don't let it go down.

00:24:36.360 Save it.

00:24:37.240 The way he said it was so meaningful to me.

00:24:40.700 It was so, like, it was, like, terrible.

00:24:44.500 In a way, it was terrible.

00:24:46.420 Save Chicago.

00:24:47.360 Who would ever think that we'd be sitting here talking about saving Chicago?

00:24:51.900 Chicago's a great city.

00:24:54.380 They have a terrible mayor. 0.96

00:24:56.080 Terrible.

00:24:56.840 He's at, like, 5% approval rating. 1.00

00:24:59.600 He's an incompetent person. 0.92

00:25:01.020 They have an incompetent governor, in my opinion. 1.00

00:25:04.260 He's incompetent. 0.97

00:25:05.620 Eleven people get shot, and he says crime isn't a good shot. 0.94

00:25:08.680 I mean, they're losing four, five, six people a week getting killed by bullets, by knives.

00:25:14.500 And then he says how wonderful it is, Chicago.

00:25:17.960 And so, well, it might be wonderful for him.

00:25:21.440 I think they're afraid. 0.99

00:25:22.480 Look, he's not a stupid guy. 0.97

00:25:24.740 I really believe they're afraid to say, politically, I guess, from an ideology standpoint, from a democratic standpoint, he's afraid. 0.98

00:25:36.580 He is afraid to say the fact that they have a very unsafe, very dangerous city.

00:25:42.660 He should say, I'm going to call President Donald Trump, and I'm going to ask him to send in the troops, to send in the National Guard, and clean this hellhole up.

00:25:53.100 Because Chicago can be a great city again.

00:25:55.740 I'll tell you what, Washington, D.C. is a great place again.

00:25:59.080 It's booming.

00:26:00.420 And the restaurants are booming.

00:26:01.940 And six months ago, seven months ago, nobody could go outside.

00:26:08.420 And even just walking around the White House, people here are thanking me for what I've done.

00:26:13.360 They're thanking me.

00:26:14.300 They're saying thank you.

00:26:15.040 And I almost know what they mean, because they can walk to work.

00:26:18.900 And even when they took Uber and they took other forms of transportation, they felt unsafe because the car was hijacked while they're in there.

00:26:26.360 They take a car, and it's being hijacked as they get into the car.

00:26:29.900 And they did that for safety.

00:26:31.940 And now we have a safe place.

00:26:33.260 You know, we've taken 1,500 people out.

00:26:35.840 Career criminals have been taken out of Washington, D.C.

00:26:39.340 And we weren't very nice about it.

00:26:41.220 What do you think?

00:26:41.920 Mr. President, did you discuss it with the Union Pacific?

00:26:50.620 I did.

00:26:51.100 I did discuss it.

00:26:52.440 I don't want to make a comment on it, but Union Pacific is a great railroad.

00:26:57.780 And they want to add a railroad that had a mistake out of a place very close to my heart.

00:27:04.700 You know, a lot of people say that that was a place where I got off to a very good start.

00:27:11.760 It was a rough thing that happened.

00:27:14.140 Well, they're trying to buy that railroad that had the problem.

00:27:18.580 And it sounds good to me, to be honest with you.

00:27:22.560 It sounds good to me.

00:27:23.420 I'm a very big fan of the head of the railroad, the head of the Union Pacific.

00:27:28.020 He started as a very low on the totem pole, started his job very low,

00:27:34.360 and became the chairman of the company over a 45-year period.

00:27:38.560 But I asked him about different cities.

00:27:40.480 He said St. Louis is tough.

00:27:43.120 You know, he sort of stops at many of them.

00:27:46.420 Mr. President, when is New Orleans?

00:27:49.000 We have to save New Orleans.

00:27:50.740 New York?

00:27:51.620 Mr. President, when are you going to give the details of all of New York?

00:27:53.560 We're going to be going into New York, too.

00:27:55.240 Mr. President, when are you going to give the details of New York?

00:27:56.020 And we're going to be going in quiet. 0.58

00:27:58.020 You're really obnoxious. 0.74

00:27:59.640 I'm not obnoxious, but I'm trying to ask you,

00:28:01.340 what about your plans for Memphis? 0.94

00:28:02.200 Mr. You are really obnoxious. 0.73

00:28:03.720 I'm not obnoxious, but I am asking,

00:28:05.340 what are your plans for Memphis?

00:28:06.760 Many people want to know what the numbers are going to be, but...

00:28:07.440 I'm not going to talk to you until I call on you.

00:28:10.020 What are your plans for Memphis as a resident?

00:28:11.540 Mr. So, who else? Yeah, go ahead.

00:28:12.520 Yeah, I just want to sell this free speech question,

00:28:15.400 because you've said that you restored free speech in America.

00:28:18.480 Yeah.

00:28:18.780 Is that free speech, including for people who are harshly critical of you,

00:28:22.460 for your political opponents, for people who say things you don't like,

00:28:25.320 I've become immune to them.

00:28:26.240 Mr. I've become immune to it.

00:28:28.980 There's never been a person that's had more unfair publicity than me,

00:28:32.660 and that's why your network paid me $15 million, or $16 million, I believe,

00:28:37.740 to be exact, George Slopadopoulos.

00:28:40.200 And that's why CBS paid me a lot of money, too.

00:28:43.620 And that's why I sued the New York Times two days ago for a lot of money.

00:28:47.380 Because I...

00:28:48.520 Well, I'm winning.

00:28:49.260 I mean, I'm winning the cases.

00:28:50.480 And the reason I'm winning is because you're guilty, John.

00:28:53.360 You're guilty.

00:28:53.900 ABC is a terrible network, a very unfair network,

00:28:56.820 and you should be ashamed of yourself.

00:28:59.180 NBC is equally bad.

00:29:00.660 I don't know who's worse.

00:29:01.820 I think they're equally bad.

00:29:04.200 And, you know, for you to stand there and act so innocent and ask me a question like that.

00:29:08.400 But look, you paid a big price because you were dishonest, John.

00:29:13.060 And the reason I won that lawsuit was because you were dishonest.

00:29:16.700 You were proven to be dishonest.

00:29:18.320 And so you can't sit back and just say, oh, well, what do you think?

00:29:21.820 You know, like you're some wonderful person.

00:29:24.300 You're not a wonderful person. 0.89

00:29:25.660 Frankly, you're a terrible reporter.

00:29:27.700 You know it, and so do I.

00:29:29.340 Okay.

00:29:29.620 Mr. President, here's what we're going to do.

00:29:33.660 Here's what we're going to do.

00:29:35.800 We're going to talk about something that's going to reduce our taxes greatly,

00:29:39.880 that's going to hopefully bring some great people into our country.

00:29:43.140 You know, as you know, right now nobody's coming in because we've succeeded in closing.

00:29:48.500 We've closed the border very successfully.

00:29:51.040 I think you will agree.

00:29:52.360 We had nobody come in for the last few months.

00:29:55.580 I mean, it was actually said zero.

00:29:57.020 Even I can't believe zero, but the numbers are put out by very impartial people

00:30:01.680 or people that have a tendency to be on the left.

00:30:05.020 And they actually said for the last three months nobody came in.

00:30:07.780 We have a very strong border.

00:30:09.160 It's a closed border.

00:30:10.900 People are coming into our country, but they're coming in legally. 1.00

00:30:13.620 It's a beautiful thing to watch.

00:30:15.040 But we are doing something where rather than coming into the border,

00:30:19.920 25 million people came into our country during Biden.

00:30:25.240 One of the saddest things.

00:30:27.600 The worst thing, look, he was horrible in inflation.

00:30:31.600 He was horrible in just about everything you could be.

00:30:33.960 I don't think he was good.

00:30:35.020 He wasn't even fair on anything.

00:30:37.060 It was a horrible administration.

00:30:40.300 He was the worst president in the history of our country.

00:30:42.880 And we have to mop it up.

00:30:46.160 The hardest thing that we have to do is to get rid of the criminals that he allowed into our country from prisons, 0.90

00:30:52.340 from mental institutions, gang members, drug dealers.

00:30:56.220 And we're getting them out, and we're getting them out fast, and we're making America safe again.

00:31:01.280 Great again, but we're making America safe again.

00:31:03.820 And it's an honor to do it.

00:31:05.740 But this is something, this is an unforced error.

00:31:08.820 What they've done is this is just an unforced error.

00:31:11.480 So I'm going to ask Howard to speak.

00:31:16.180 Howard's done a fantastic job, as you know, Secretary of Commerce.

00:31:19.740 And I'm going to ask Howard and Will.

00:31:22.300 Will, could you just give a quick description of what we're doing and what we're signing, etc.?

00:31:26.800 And I will do that.

00:31:28.300 We have two items for your attention today, sir.

00:31:31.160 A major focus of your administration has been shifting the conversation and shifting the policy dynamics around the issue of immigration,

00:31:39.360 closing the border, preventing illegal immigration,

00:31:42.140 but also, as is the case with the executive order in front of you,

00:31:45.280 opening new pathways for truly extraordinary people to come contribute to America instead of taking away from it.

00:31:51.720 So this executive order is entitled The Gold Card.

00:31:54.360 It will set up a new pathway, a new visa pathway for foreigners of extraordinary ability

00:32:00.220 who are committed to supporting the United States for a payment of $1 million to the U.S. Treasury,

00:32:06.780 or if a corporation is sponsoring them, $2 million by that corporation.

00:32:11.420 And that will give them access to expedited visa treatment as part of this new gold card program.

00:32:17.080 And one of the biggest problems we have is that people, they go to the best schools and they do great,

00:32:21.960 and they get great marks, and then they're thrown out of the country.

00:32:24.460 You're not allowed to stay.

00:32:25.400 This way, a corporation will be able, sort of like a signing bonus in baseball or football,

00:32:30.820 a corporation will be able to get them to stay in the country.

00:32:34.560 And I think it's going to be tremendously successful.

00:32:37.480 Howard, would you say a few words about that?

00:32:39.240 Sure.

00:32:39.620 So historically, the employment-based green card program led in 281,000 people a year.

00:32:50.480 And those people, on average, earned $66,000 a year on average.

00:32:57.380 And they were five times more likely to go on assistance programs of the government.

00:33:02.640 So we were taking in the bottom quartile below the average American.

00:33:09.460 It was illogical.

00:33:10.860 The only country in the world that was taking in the bottom quartile.

00:33:15.600 So what we are doing now is we are going to stop doing that.

00:33:19.600 We're going to only take extraordinary people at the very top.

00:33:23.280 Instead of people trying to take the jobs from Americans,

00:33:26.840 they're going to create businesses and create jobs for Americans. 0.95

00:33:30.840 And this program will raise more than $100 billion for the Treasury of the United States of America.

00:33:37.700 Which we'll use for cutting taxes and paying down debt.

00:33:41.600 We think it's going to be very successful.

00:33:43.260 Essentially, we're having people come in, people that in many cases, I guess, are very successful or whatever.

00:33:52.540 And they're coming in.

00:33:53.380 They're going to spend a lot of money to come in.

00:33:55.720 They're going to pay as opposed to walking over the borders.

00:33:58.100 And they may come from jails, prisons, and everything else.

00:34:01.400 These people don't.

00:34:02.800 They're very productive people.

00:34:04.700 And they're going to pay a million dollars.

00:34:06.200 The corporation is going to pay $2 million.

00:34:07.760 And it's going to raise billions of dollars.

00:34:11.700 Billions and billions of dollars, which is going to go to reduce taxes, pay off debt, and other good things.

00:34:18.360 So, I think it's going to be very successful.

00:34:19.560 Are the big techs on board with this, Mr. President?

00:34:20.940 What?

00:34:21.260 The big techs.

00:34:21.600 Are the big techs on board with this decision?

00:34:23.940 You just have a lot of different people.

00:34:26.060 Well, I wish you'd speak more clearly.

00:34:28.200 I really don't.

00:34:28.560 Give it to me again.

00:34:29.900 Are the big techs, the CEOs, on board with this decision?

00:34:34.580 Big techs?

00:34:35.200 Big tech companies.

00:34:36.920 Can you talk to them about this?

00:34:38.860 Big tech companies.

00:34:39.400 Yeah, big tech.

00:34:40.580 It's every company.

00:34:41.460 It's big tech.

00:34:42.220 It's big tech.

00:34:43.000 It's big everything.

00:34:44.000 It's a company.

00:34:45.500 I said it.

00:34:45.880 It's not a tech company.

00:34:47.240 It's tech companies and everything else.

00:34:49.540 It's companies having a hard time getting people to be able to stay in the country.

00:34:56.380 It's very difficult.

00:34:57.120 Now, if you want to walk through the border, you can have no problem.

00:35:00.520 People say, well, the best way to come in is walk right through the border.

00:35:04.260 But they can't do that anymore because under our administration, the border is totally closed.

00:35:09.920 You can only come in if you come in legally.

00:35:13.180 And that's the way it's been.

00:35:14.400 And that's the way it should be.

00:35:15.500 And we're taking a lot of people out of the country that are here from prisons, from jails,

00:35:19.640 from mental institutions, and even insane asylums, people that are crazy. 0.59

00:35:25.020 We're taking them out of the country.

00:35:26.360 We're getting them out of the country because you can't have a country like that. 0.99

00:35:29.400 And I tell you, Christy and Tom Holman and all of the people that have worked so hard on this,

00:35:36.140 they've done an unbelievable job.

00:35:38.620 And I think we're getting great marks for it.

00:35:40.620 People feel safe.

00:35:42.380 Washington, D.C. is just the beginning.

00:35:44.000 Other, you know, we brought the numbers down in Chicago a little bit by having the FBI in there for the last five months.

00:35:50.360 We brought the numbers down in Memphis a little bit.

00:35:52.800 But now we're going for the big one.

00:35:54.780 Now we're going to go for the big one.

00:35:56.380 But we set ourselves up very well in Chicago, Memphis, New Orleans a little bit, going in early just to see what was happening.

00:36:05.100 You know, we study it.

00:36:05.940 We're studying the site.

00:36:06.980 It's sort of like war.

00:36:08.740 I mean, I hate to tell you it's like war.

00:36:10.320 Some of these people are really bad. 0.99

00:36:12.440 They're really, really sick people. 1.00

00:36:15.420 They're dangerous people. 1.00

00:36:16.880 They're killers. 1.00

00:36:17.420 They're murderers. 1.00

00:36:19.020 Drug dealers. 1.00

00:36:20.360 And you can't have it.

00:36:22.100 You can't have a country like that.

00:36:23.900 It's so beautiful to see Washington, D.C.

00:36:26.400 That people are walking down the middle of the street and they're going to restaurants.

00:36:30.320 And you are, too.

00:36:31.440 And half of you were mugged.

00:36:32.940 I mean, I don't know if she's here now.

00:36:35.400 I don't see her.

00:36:36.060 But, you know, some people were badly mugged.

00:36:38.560 They were reporters.

00:36:40.080 Two of the people right standing in the back of the room were mugged.

00:36:43.780 And they're not going to have that anymore.

00:36:46.200 And if you look at the crime stats in Washington, D.C., you have a safe place again.

00:36:51.860 They were afraid to go to a restaurant because the restaurant would be held up while they're having dinner.

00:36:57.200 And so they'd be mugged going there.

00:36:59.720 And assuming they escaped the mugging, they go to the restaurant and then they're held up.

00:37:04.100 This is how bad it's been.

00:37:05.680 To follow up on the visa question, I think this may be the next thing that you're signing.

00:37:09.360 But for the H-1B visa action that you're doing today, you're very close to the technology CEOs.

00:37:15.140 Are they concerned about that?

00:37:17.120 I think they're going to be very happy.

00:37:18.640 Everyone's going to be happy.

00:37:20.300 And we're going to be able to keep people in our country that are going to be very productive people.

00:37:24.700 And in many cases, these companies are going to pay a lot of money for that.

00:37:28.200 And they're very happy about it.

00:37:29.860 Okay, we'll talk about that next, Sarah.

00:37:32.600 Okay.

00:37:41.540 My friend, why don't you keep that okay?

00:37:43.620 Thank you.

00:37:44.220 That's a good job.

00:37:46.920 Okay.

00:37:48.660 It's phase one.

00:37:50.900 John, are you happy?

00:37:51.660 Sure.

00:37:52.200 Okay.

00:37:52.700 Let's go.

00:37:55.900 Thank you, Mr. President.

00:37:57.040 One of the most abused visa systems in our current immigration system has been the H-1B non-immigrant visa program.

00:38:04.320 This is supposed to allow highly skilled laborers who work in fields that Americans don't work in

00:38:10.380 to come into the United States of America.

00:38:12.380 What this proclamation will do is raise the fee that companies pay to sponsor H-1B applicants to $100,000.

00:38:21.880 This will ensure that the people they're bringing in are actually very highly skilled

00:38:26.580 and that they're not replaceable by American workers.

00:38:29.280 So it'll protect American workers, but ensure that companies have a pathway to hire truly extraordinary people and bring them to the United States to work.

00:38:36.980 We need workers. 0.97

00:38:37.660 We need workers. 0.97

00:38:38.700 We need great workers.

00:38:39.580 And this pretty much ensures that that's what's going to happen.

00:38:43.220 I think, Sean, do you agree with that?

00:38:44.640 Well, they're $100,000 per year.

00:38:48.400 So the whole idea is no more will these big tech companies or other big companies train foreign workers.

00:38:56.800 They have to pay the government $100,000.

00:38:58.880 Then they have to pay the employee.

00:39:00.680 So it's just not economic.

00:39:02.600 If you're going to train somebody, you're going to train one of the recent graduates from one of the great universities across our land,

00:39:11.040 train Americans, stop bringing in people to take our jobs. 0.99

00:39:15.120 That's the policy here.

00:39:16.700 $100,000 a year for H-1B visas.

00:39:20.300 And all of the big companies are on board.

00:39:23.580 We've spoken to them about the gold card.

00:39:25.280 They love it.

00:39:25.980 They love it.

00:39:26.540 They really love it.

00:39:27.340 They need it.

00:39:28.240 Go ahead, Sean.

00:39:28.880 Mr. President, it seems like there's two categories of visa programs.

00:39:31.540 The H-1B that a lot of people believe take American jobs.

00:39:34.660 And then the gold card in programs like EB-5 that add value in jobs to America.

00:39:38.900 Is that sort of how you look at the visa program?

00:39:40.920 Well, ideally, look, if somebody's got the people, they're not going to want to spend $100,000, as an example, in your second category.

00:39:48.240 So it's not taking jobs.

00:39:50.340 And we need certain jobs.

00:39:51.840 We need certain skilled jobs that we don't have.

00:39:54.100 But they won't be taking jobs because, you know, ideally, the people aren't going to want to.

00:39:58.940 They're not going to have.

00:39:59.500 The Pressure people are investing in America and creating jobs.

00:40:01.300 So that's what I'm asking.

00:40:02.120 They're really investing in America.

00:40:02.740 It seems like you have two categories.

00:40:04.680 One, the Secretary of Lutnik, the gold card in EB-5 that create jobs, add investment.

00:40:09.820 And then there's other ones that seem to take, you know, whether it's a J-1, an O, or an H-1B that take U.S. jobs.

00:40:16.620 Yeah, that's pretty correct.

00:40:17.800 I mean, I would say that's a correct assessment.

00:40:19.980 But the main thing is we're going to have great people coming in, and they're going to be paying.

00:40:23.380 I mean, it's, it's, it's wonderful to say, oh, gee, this is, we took in 25 million people that, look, many criminals, jails were open from Venezuela, from many other countries. 0.99

00:40:39.440 And they were let out of jail and poured into our country, our poor country, how it suffered with this, with this stupid president that we had. 1.00

00:40:49.360 And the stupid people that surrounded him right around this desk, these liberal, crazy people that have destroyed, they could have destroyed. 1.00

00:40:57.160 If we didn't win this election, our country would have been dead. 1.00

00:41:00.220 Our country was dead.

00:41:02.200 Think of it.

00:41:02.820 And I've said this, man.

00:41:03.760 The king of Saudi Arabia said, your country was dead one year.

00:41:07.340 They thought it was dead.

00:41:09.320 This country couldn't have survived another year of those people running it.

00:41:13.100 And now we have the hottest country anywhere in the world.

00:41:15.880 Think of that.

00:41:17.280 And this is going to help.

00:41:19.160 And we're taking in hundreds of billions of dollars.

00:41:22.040 This will be taking in the gold card.

00:41:24.120 We'll be taking in hundreds of billions of dollars.

00:41:26.980 And companies will be able to keep some people that they need.

00:41:29.740 You know, they need people of expertise, great expertise.

00:41:34.340 And it's going to, I think it's going to be a fantastic thing.

00:41:36.780 And we're going to take that money and we're going to reduce taxes.

00:41:39.940 We're going to reduce debt.

00:41:41.840 We have a very, very strong country.

00:41:43.800 We, we, assuming everything works out great with the lawsuit that we have.

00:41:49.340 We have a lawsuit that's inspired by foreign countries that ripped us off for 25 years. 1.00

00:41:55.360 But assuming we win that, we hopefully win it.

00:41:57.860 It's in the Supreme Court of the United States.

00:42:00.620 We have a country that, no stopping us.

00:42:04.140 There's no, we're rich, we'll be rich.

00:42:05.860 We can take care of poor people.

00:42:07.500 We can take care of our military.

00:42:09.180 We can take care of everything.

00:42:10.560 We can take care of beyond the country.

00:42:12.100 We can help take care of the world.

00:42:14.820 That we don't, it'll just be the same struggle that we've had for years where other countries

00:42:19.900 charged us tariffs and they ripped us off.

00:42:22.940 Our country has been ripped off more than any country in the history of the world.

00:42:28.040 And now we are, we're doing the, what we have to do.

00:42:33.160 We're taking in billions and billions of dollars at levels that nobody has ever seen, trillions

00:42:38.480 of dollars.

00:42:39.660 And we're using it to reduce debt.

00:42:41.660 We're using it to reduce taxes.

00:42:43.780 The great, big, beautiful bill is a big tax reduction.

00:42:47.380 It's being paid for by the tariffs and people are paying a lot less money in taxes.

00:42:53.140 They're being, think of it, no tax on tips, no tax on social security, no tax on overtime.

00:43:00.720 It's an unbelievable phenomenon.

00:43:03.220 It's, it really is.

00:43:04.160 It's the golden age.

00:43:05.040 We're making it the golden age.

00:43:06.820 Without the tariffs, it would be impossible.

00:43:09.200 And China, for years, charged us tariffs and they continue to do it.

00:43:14.360 And so do other countries.

00:43:16.240 Most countries, they charged us, they were ripping.

00:43:18.260 Look, the European Union, as you know, I get along very well with them, but they ripped

00:43:23.180 us off so badly.

00:43:24.640 There's never, nobody's ever seen anything.

00:43:26.460 Now, the European Union is paying us $950 billion and they're paying us $750 billion to

00:43:33.520 buy our energy.

00:43:34.340 And, and they're okay with it.

00:43:36.420 They signed the agreement.

00:43:37.480 But, you know, it's not like anybody forced them to do it.

00:43:39.840 They're okay with this.

00:43:41.880 Tariffs are making our country very rich again.

00:43:44.660 And we'll be able to take care of our debt.

00:43:46.540 We'll be able to take care of our taxes, lower taxes.

00:43:50.000 We'll be able to take care of Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security.

00:43:53.640 We're going to be a rich country again.

00:43:55.540 Without tariffs, we'd be in very big trouble.

00:43:59.780 Mr. President, do you still want Iraq to pay 100% tariffs of China?

00:44:05.080 Excuse me, H-1 visas are sometimes used by people already in the country legally on other

00:44:10.240 visas or student visas.

00:44:11.740 Does this apply to them or to renewals?

00:44:14.020 Or does it only apply to people applying for the first time from abroad?

00:44:18.440 Renewals, first times, the company needs to decide do they want, is that person valuable

00:44:25.920 enough to have $100,000 a year payment to the government, or they should head home and

00:44:33.000 they should go hire an American. 1.00

00:44:34.580 The whole idea, it's annual, and it's for total, it can be a total of six years.

00:44:40.180 So $100,000 a year, so either the person is very valuable to the company and America,

00:44:46.620 or they're going to depart and the company's going to hire an American, and that's the

00:44:52.060 point of immigration.

00:44:53.780 Hire Americans and make sure the people coming in are the top, top people. 0.89

00:44:58.740 Stop the nonsense of letting people just come into this country on these visas that were 0.99

00:45:03.900 given away for free.

00:45:05.540 President, it is crystal clear, valuable people only for America.

00:45:11.040 Stop the nonsense.

00:45:11.900 And remember, the country would rather not have to pay $100,000, but they'd rather, how do

00:45:22.300 you do that?

00:45:22.840 You hire an American. 1.00

00:45:23.820 So there's an incentive to hire an American. 0.89

00:45:26.100 But there may be instances where it's better off doing it through expertise or whatever it

00:45:30.300 may be, but they're both unbelievable, whether it's a gold card or anything else that we talked

00:45:36.880 about today.

00:45:37.540 And that includes talking about freedom of speech, because our country has been decimated

00:45:44.100 by bad people, very bad people, people that love crime.

00:45:48.260 They love crime.

00:45:49.880 Explain it to me.

00:45:50.920 They don't want to have our military go in and save lives.

00:45:55.780 But when you go and ask the people, do you mind having the National Guard come in if it

00:46:00.500 meant safety?

00:46:01.640 They look at the question like, what's wrong? 1.00

00:46:04.060 What kind of a stupid question is that? 1.00

00:46:06.040 Of course they do. 1.00

00:46:06.940 We want to have, we're going to have a safe country again.

00:46:09.400 We're not going to have people shot.

00:46:11.360 Eleven people shot.

00:46:13.300 Think of it.

00:46:13.960 In Chicago, over a period of six or seven weeks, 55 people were murdered.

00:46:19.280 And then you have a governor saying how wonderful it is.

00:46:22.800 It's not wonderful.

00:46:23.920 It's a very unsafe.

00:46:25.300 There's not a place in the world.

00:46:26.760 You go outside, you go to Afghanistan, you go to different places all over the world that

00:46:31.320 you hear about.

00:46:32.740 It's 20% of what's happening in places like Chicago.

00:46:36.840 And you think of them as unsafe.

00:46:39.180 Mexico City, Mexico City, it's a tough place, dangerous place.

00:46:44.180 It's the crime rate is lower.

00:46:47.180 Think of it.

00:46:47.800 What's happening to our country?

00:46:49.820 We're not going to let it happen.

00:46:51.560 And I think I got elected largely for that reason.

00:46:54.840 So we're going to have a safe country again.

00:46:57.200 We're going to have a great country again.

00:46:58.880 We're doing unbelievably.

00:47:00.320 We have the highest stock market in history.

00:47:02.300 We have the most investment we've ever had, ever, as a country coming in.

00:47:07.080 And we're very simple.

00:47:09.540 You know, they said, how'd you get elected?

00:47:11.160 I got elected because I'm going to make America great again.

00:47:14.300 That's what we're doing.

00:47:14.940 We're making America great again.

00:47:16.440 Thank you very much, everybody.

00:47:17.780 Thank you, press.

00:47:18.620 Thank you, press.

00:47:19.500 Thanks, guys.

00:47:23.900 Right out this way.

00:47:24.660 Thank you.

00:47:25.400 According to the Department of Energy, blackouts could increase by 10,000 percent over the

00:47:29.760 next few years.

00:47:30.460 It's because of massive energy demand from artificial intelligence data centers.

00:47:35.280 We talk about that all the time here in the War Room.

00:47:37.640 And we have a fragile power grid.

00:47:40.240 It just cannot keep up with that demand.

00:47:42.660 I don't know about you, but I don't like the idea of being without power, even for a day.

00:47:46.800 That's why I got the Grid Doctor 3300 from MyPatriotSupply.

00:49:43.900 This July, there is a global summit of BRICS nations in Rio de Janeiro.

00:49:49.520 The block of emerging superpowers, including China, Russia, India, and Persia, are meeting with the goal of displacing the United States dollar as the global currency.

00:50:00.280 They're calling this the Rio Reset.

00:50:03.460 As BRICS nations push forward with their plans, global demand for U.S. dollars will decrease, bringing down the value of the dollar in your savings.

00:51:14.720 Thanks, guys.

00:51:15.360 We're out.

00:51:15.460 Keep the shot right there.

00:51:17.040 The president of the United States, we're going to lose this pretty quickly right there.

00:51:19.740 Wow.

00:51:20.300 What an Oval Office.

00:51:21.900 He signed two executive orders and took all incoming from the world's press, including a couple of mainstream media that they try to give incoming.

00:51:31.220 They got blowback.

00:51:32.140 ABC News.

00:51:32.980 Wouldn't want to be at ABC News today.

00:51:34.620 Jonathan Karl.

00:51:37.200 Jonathan Karl.

00:51:38.060 Jonathan, you're not a good person. 0.97

00:51:39.680 You're a terrible reporter. 0.86

00:51:41.020 And your company just paid $16 million.

00:51:43.240 I think ABC and I think NBC and the reporters are just have to understand one thing.

00:51:50.780 When you're our CBS, I don't think NBC is paid yet.

00:51:55.160 Paid yet.

00:51:56.600 Get that media matters.

00:51:57.640 When President Trump threatens to go to court, threatens to sue you, and you sign back a check, whether it's 60 Minutes or ABC News, just a note to Jonathan Karl and all the other guys, the guys over at Bob Costin, the guys over at CBS.

00:52:15.660 Anytime you ask him that question, let me give you a heads up.

00:52:18.660 He's going to pivot back to the lawsuit.

00:52:20.840 You admitted guilt, you're a bad organization, you're terrible people, and then boom.

00:52:26.720 So just make sure that understands coming.

00:52:28.300 Okay, we got a lot to get to between now and the 7 o'clock hour.

00:52:32.320 I've got a package right here.

00:52:33.940 We've got the great Nick Sorter.

00:52:35.760 And Nick is going to join us from, I think, Turning Point headquarters in Phoenix, Arizona.

00:52:40.620 Let's play the package.

00:52:42.200 I'm going to bring Nick Sorter in to start the war room.

00:52:44.980 It reminds you that although these people pretend to be adults, that they are sometimes, you know, they think a lot less than even children do when it comes to compassion, when it comes to thoughtfulness, when it comes to being a leader.

00:53:00.860 You know, I did expect the president's address to the nation would have been a lot more compassionate, filled.

00:53:11.500 It would have been less partisan.

00:53:14.760 He doesn't even know who the assassin is for him to say.

00:53:17.780 Yes. 0.99

00:53:18.380 Winged lunatic. 0.98

00:53:21.360 I think it kind of denigrated his status and the status of the office he holds. 0.85

00:53:29.360 But what I do know for sure is that, you know, Charlie was someone who once said, you know, guns save lives after a school shooting.

00:53:47.180 Charlie was someone who was willing to debate and downplay the death of George Floyd in the hands of Minneapolis police. 0.99

00:53:55.880 I think he called him a scumbag. 0.99

00:53:56.960 Right. Have no regard, downplay slavery and what black people have gone through in this country by saying Juneteen should never exist. 1.00

00:54:08.100 And I think, you know, there are a lot of people who are out there talking about him just wanting to have a civil debate.

00:54:16.360 A complete rewriting of history.

00:54:18.700 Yeah, there is nothing more effed up, you know, like than to completely pretend that, you know, his words and actions have not been recorded and in existence for the last decade or so.

00:54:37.200 Instead of uniting Congress in this tragedy with one of the many bipartisan options to condemn political violence and Kirk's murder, as we did with the late Melissa Hortman.

00:54:49.600 Instead, the majority proceeded with a resolution that brings great pain to the millions of Americans who endured segregation, Jim Crow and the legacy of bigotry today.

00:55:03.740 We should be clear about who Charlie Kirk was, a man who believed that the Civil Rights Act that granted black Americans the right to vote was a mistake, who after the violent attack on Paul Pelosi claimed that, quote, some amazing patriot, unquote, should bail out his brutal assailant.

00:55:26.780 And accused Jews of controlling, quote, not just the colleges, it's the non-profits, it's the movies, it's Hollywood, it's all of it, unquote. 0.94

00:55:38.340 His rhetoric and beliefs were ignorant, uneducated, and sought to disenfranchise millions of Americans.

00:55:47.920 Far from the working, quote, working tirelessly to promote unity, unquote, asserted by the majority in this resolution. 0.99

00:55:55.360 I said that the people who were full of s**t were the people who were saying that Kirk was civil.

00:56:05.240 Thank you both. 0.85

00:56:06.700 You know what I was saying?

00:56:08.280 The person who called for public execution of people he disagreed with is not civil. 0.99

00:56:15.420 The person who said you are a black woman, you lack the ability to process thoughts, it's not civil. 0.97

00:56:22.200 The person who said, because I am Muslim, I cannot be in this country because I want to destroy Western society, it's not civil. 0.99

00:56:31.740 The person who said a 10-year-old should be forced to carry the child of her rapist, it's not civil. 1.00

00:56:40.720 I do believe those of you who are interested in being white in this hateful man's history are full of s**t. 1.00

00:57:06.100 Thank you. 0.99

00:57:15.940 It's Friday, 19th September, in the year of our Lord, 2025.

00:57:18.840 President does a one-hour signing of executive orders, and over an hour, and talking to the press will get to all that.

00:57:24.560 The great Nick Sartor joins us.

00:57:26.700 Nick, I think you're actually over at Turning Point today in Phoenix.

00:57:29.020 You've done amazing reporting on this.

00:57:32.020 Drudge, the Mac Daddy on Drudge, is AOC as running full out, not simply for the Senate, but for the presidency in 2028.

00:57:40.760 The squad voted unanimously, I think all five of them, against the resolution for Charlie Kirk.

00:57:46.260 But you've done some extraordinary reporting, sir, on Omar of Minneapolis.

00:57:51.560 What do you have for us?

00:57:52.420 Your tweet is on fire right now.

00:57:53.940 What do you got?

00:57:55.500 I mean, look, I don't know if you saw this yesterday, Steve, but Ilhan Omar, after all of these comments that she's made about Charlie Kirk, you know, we're trying to figure out exactly why.

00:58:07.580 Why could she be upset about that?

00:58:09.360 And the answer is it's because Charlie was right.

00:58:11.980 She actually did commit immigration fraud. 1.00

00:58:14.380 We have the proof here that Ilhan Omar actually did marry her brother.

00:58:18.420 These are records that are untouched records from the state of Minneapolis that proves it.

00:58:24.900 OK, at this point in time, I don't see there being any reason that the DOJ shouldn't start the process of revoking Omar's citizenship.

00:58:33.100 It's all right here and proves we've been saying she married her brother.

00:58:37.740 That's immigration fraud. 0.51

00:58:39.600 All with the intention of coming to the United States. 0.99

00:58:41.820 So, Nick, just explain to the audience, we've put your tweet up and we're going to blow this clip out.

00:58:48.740 But what actually do you have?

00:58:51.560 What does it say?

00:58:52.680 And it is an official government document.

00:58:55.720 Yes, it is.

00:58:56.440 It's taken straight from Hennepin County in the state of Minnesota.

00:59:00.840 And the man listed on the form.

00:59:03.340 Nobody disputes this at this point.

00:59:04.740 They're trying to.

00:59:06.200 That is her brother's name that is listed on that document alongside hers.

00:59:11.820 Saying that they are legally married.

00:59:14.140 And that was in an effort to to bring for her and her brother to come to the United States illegally.

00:59:20.400 And then they divorced later saying that they had irreconcilable differences. 0.97

00:59:24.000 And I guess, you know, that's that's probably because it was her freaking brother. 0.94

00:59:28.360 So, look, this is more than just a talking point, Steve. 0.98

00:59:33.580 There's actually substance here.

00:59:35.740 There's proof for it.

00:59:37.640 And, you know, she she's upset now.

00:59:40.240 I've got plenty of things.

00:59:40.940 I was looking back to see what Charlie Kirk actually said about her and and said he called her the inbrake pretty frequently said, quote, Ilhan Omar openly admits that she's fighting for Somalia's interests, not America's.

00:59:55.160 That's openly clear.

00:59:57.180 Look, I don't know if they, you know, murdering your political opponents is acceptable in Jack Pakistan or wherever she's from. 0.99

01:00:04.460 But maybe she needs to go back there. 0.83

01:00:06.360 That's what she wants.

01:00:09.220 So, Nick, can you hang through?

01:00:11.560 We're going to take a short commercial break.

01:00:12.880 I need you to hang because last time we talked to you, you were in the lobby of the Kennedy Center getting ready for the prayer vigil.

01:00:18.320 Now you're actually a turning point.

01:00:19.840 It looks like the memorial, the spontaneous memorial.

01:00:22.720 I want to get your feedback on that.

01:00:23.960 But real quick question, why has this not been acted upon?

01:00:28.720 If Nick Sorter's got this document, why have we not acted upon this in the first Trump administration or just DHS just act upon this at all?

01:00:37.960 Why has this been left to fester?

01:00:39.420 Honestly, I think in the first Trump administration, they were taking fire from too many angles and it just wasn't a top priority at the time.

01:00:47.200 But now we have the mandate.

01:00:48.620 We have the backing.

01:00:49.980 And right now there's no better time to do it because the remarks, the gross remarks that she is making glorifying the death of an American hero that the vast majority of Americans have a positive opinion on and the vast amount are looking at a loss for the United States.

01:01:05.560 This is the time to do it because the majority of people will totally understand at this point.

01:01:10.920 It doesn't look like it's just an attack on her for being an immigrant.

01:01:14.040 There's a political will to back it up at this point.

01:01:17.040 Yeah.

01:01:18.400 Nick, just hang on for one second.

01:01:20.000 Nick Sorter is at the compound, the campus of Turning Point USA.

01:01:26.320 It's absolutely magnificent in Phoenix, Arizona.

01:01:30.640 Short commercial break.

01:01:31.700 Nick Sorter on the other side.

01:01:33.060 A lot of other surprises for you.

01:01:34.640 Stick around.

01:01:35.240 We're going to be on fire.

01:01:46.860 Hey, we're human.

01:01:48.340 All too human.

01:01:50.140 I don't always eat healthy.
