00:00:00 Hey guys, it's Jack. I'm excited to let you know that finally the new edition of Unhuman Socialist Revolution is available for pre-order.
00:00:08 It's coming out in October. You can get it at unhumansbook.com or amazon.com.
00:00:15 Make sure to go and learn the tactics to crush the communist uprising.
00:00:19 This is what happens when the fourth turning meets fifth generation warfare.
00:00:24 A commentator, international social media sensation, and former Navy intelligence veteran.
00:00:35 This is Human Events with your host, Jack Posobiec.
00:00:38 Christ is king!
00:00:39 The House is now preventing CNN from carrying out their TV pool duty.
00:00:43 The first day in living memory that there has not been television pool coverage of the president.
00:00:51 Real America's voice has stepped into the breach.
00:00:53 Minute by minute, hour by hour, day by day, week by week.
00:00:57 We have this thing covered. We're on top of it.
00:01:00 We're going to continue to be on top of it.
00:01:02 For the first time in modern press coverage, there is not a TV camera traveling with the president today.
00:01:07 Washington Post, Trump's ban triggers video coverage halt.
00:01:13 I was watching the pool feed last night as President Trump made his trial and returned to Washington, D.C.
00:01:17 And I was watching that right on the pool feed, which was provided by Real America's Voice.
00:01:22 We do have the Real America's Voice pool feed, which is up right now.
00:01:28 The Washington Post is printing fake news on the cover this morning.
00:01:33 Effective immediately, there will be no pool rotation in effect.
00:01:38 There was no TV pool coverage of the president's trip to Tennessee this weekend.
00:01:46 This has been a very big week for Rav as we've covered the U.N. in New York
00:01:51 and the president of China in Washington, D.C.,
00:01:54 and now the president at a big college football game.
00:01:57 We can do it all.
00:01:58 We can continue to step into that responsibility
00:02:00 when no one else will.
00:02:02 The White House has replaced the network
00:02:05 with two Trump-friendly outlets,
00:02:08 Lindell TV and Real America's Voice.
00:02:12 Lindell TV of Mike Lindell,
00:02:14 a former, a very close ally of the president,
00:02:16 and then also Real America's Voice
00:02:19 are expected to be the secondary pool for television.
00:02:23 The question now is,
00:02:25 are Lindell TV and America's radios, whatever,
00:02:29 are they paying for those seats?
00:02:31 And if not, who is?
00:02:34 We're not just doing this for RAB.
00:02:35 We're doing it for everybody.
00:02:37 We've created a media militia.
00:02:38 We're going to further expand our capabilities
00:02:41 and the public's access into this president
00:02:43 minute by minute, second by second updates.
00:02:45 And hey, we can fully provide 24-7 coverage of this.
00:02:49 This is such an important, pivotal moment in history.
00:02:54 And RAV was built and bred to fight this fight in day one.
00:02:58 And I just have a message for the legacy media.
00:03:00 We are coming for you, and we're not going to stop.
00:03:07 Well, ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard today's edition of Human Events Daily.
00:03:12 We, of course, are here on Real America's Voice.
00:03:16 And by the way, how great is it that everyone gets to enjoy Real America's Voice
00:03:22 in terms of the pool feed that is being provided free of charge to everyone out there.
00:03:28 We're going to have Parker Sig on in a little bit to describe the further access
00:03:33 because Real America's Voice technicians, the crack team down there in West Palm and Denver
00:03:37 has been working throughout the weekend to put up something even new for all of you.
00:03:41 It is a brand new website.
00:03:44 I will get to that in just a little bit.
00:03:46 But we're going to allow everyone to get in the pool.
00:03:49 Ha, ha, ha.
00:03:51 Now, it's an amazing thing.
00:03:52 And, of course, the mainstream media is melting down over it.
00:03:57 Turns out that we can do your job just as good as you.
00:03:59 And, in fact, personally, I think just a little bit better.
00:04:03 But one job that is not going too well is, of course, the job of brand old party. 0.60
00:04:08 So the GOP, we know that we've seen the Gen Z numbers with the GOP.
00:04:13 We know the numbers are down.
00:04:14 The Iran war is not popular with Gen Z.
00:04:17 They are done with it.
00:04:18 They can't stand it.
00:04:19 They think that it's a rug pull, et cetera, et cetera.
00:04:23 And so all the GOP had to do was not attack young white men between now and election day.
00:04:30 All you had to do, or maybe, just maybe, just maybe, show like you actually care about their issues.
00:04:36 that's what we talk about as the charlie kirk plan to fight socialism well that's what we said
00:04:43 they should do and in fact we have a whole chapter on it in the new book on human socialist revolution
00:04:47 but then we woke up this morning and we saw this guys play clip a five yeah oh you want some of
00:04:55 this come on me brown brad has turned relaxing into a full-time profession but you you actually
00:05:04 work hard. You pay taxes to cover welfare for guys like Brad, who just choose not to work.
00:05:11 That's why I launched a welfare-to-work requirement. 0.73
00:05:16 Now, more Arkansans are working than ever before. Even Brad.
00:05:25 Guys, what are you doing? It's the same corporate slop that we see over and over
00:05:32 depicted in media. And by the way, I like Sarah Huckby Sanders. This is actually a good policy.
00:05:38 I support the policy of saying that welfare should have a work requirement. I'm a guy who used to
00:05:43 work for Rick Santorum, okay? He's the guy who came up with that back in the 1990s. Here's the
00:05:47 problem, though. You're depicting, quote-unquote, the average welfare recipient as a Gen Z white 0.93
00:05:54 man who's just sitting at home and playing video games. And this group has been demonized in
00:06:01 corporate media, Hollywood media, streaming media, all over the place in every single ad.
00:06:08 And of course, now the Republicans are getting on it as well. The only group in America that
00:06:15 there's no taboo to attack whatsoever is white men. And look, that's what the GOP is now doing.
00:06:20 It is tone deaf. It is disgraceful. And honestly, it should be apologized for. This should be taken
00:06:27 down and there should be an apology to the young white men in this country. This is disgraceful. 0.81
00:06:35 It's absolutely disgraceful. And piling on, by the way, let's go to Walmart, which I did,
00:06:40 by the way, over the last 10 years, Walmart has put out 20,000 petitions for H-1Bs and their 0.97
00:06:46 corporate tech side. Walmart, which is based in Arkansas, pays six figures to H-1B scab labor.
00:06:53 so maybe there's a little bit more going on this is tone deaf they should governor's office
00:06:59 should apologize for putting it out you're right back human events daily
00:07:03 where is jack where is jack where is he jack i want to see you

00:08:41 But by the way, folks, I wanted to say a really cool thing that came in this weekend is that, yes, oh, yes, we officially got in the first couple cases of the new UnHumans book, UnHumans Socialist Revolution.
00:08:57 And the covers just came out phenomenally.
00:09:00 Obviously, you see it here on the background behind me.
00:09:02 But, you know, really honored to be able to put this together.
00:09:06 Tony Lyons, the whole team at Skyhorse, as well as the War Room, putting it out together.
00:09:13 So this has the Stephen K. Bannon intro.
00:09:15 But one new piece, we'll have to get this updated on the graphic there.
00:09:19 We have President Donald J. Trump's endorsement right on the top there.
00:09:24 That is phenomenal.
00:09:25 The new chapters are just incredible.
00:09:28 So you can see there's the autograph.
00:09:30 This is actually my mom's copy.
00:09:31 I grabbed it from her this morning.
00:09:33 Sorry, Mom.
00:09:34 I'll get you another one.
00:09:36 and uh and and you see that the new chapters that we have going in the the age of the assassin
00:09:41 left uh fifth wave feminism the fall of rome the dsa purge the rise of the anti-whites we're just
00:09:49 talking about that pax europa the demonic no king's color revolution anti-ice the rule of law
00:09:55 dehumanization of police institutional recapture uh vocabulary of the left chapter 23 is what a
00:10:02 lot of people are talking about. We do the vocabulary of the left and give you a left-wing
00:10:05 glossary, which I think is going to be a lot of fun. Producer Faz actually gave us the idea for
00:10:10 that. Chapter 24, win every election for a hundred years with this one neat trick. And as we were
00:10:15 just mentioning, chapter 25, the Charlie Kirk strategy for defeating young socialists. But
00:10:19 I want to talk about something right here called institutional recapture. And we actually get into
00:10:24 this and it's a little bit longer now. The book itself is much longer because there's so much
00:10:28 more information in here about the plans to defeat the left we talk about institutional recapture
00:10:34 recapturing the institutions and we talk about creating parallel institutions well there's a
00:10:40 group that's putting that strategy into practice right now and you're watching it it's called real
00:10:45 america's voice and parker sig joins us now what's up parker hey jack thank you for having me on and
00:10:52 congratulations on the book i uh i expect i'll have a signed copy delivered here in the next
00:10:58 few days, I would imagine, right? Well, I mean, signed copies are earned, all right? So I'm just
00:11:01 saying, signed copies are earned. So, you know, we'll see. But no, so it's amazing because one
00:11:07 of the things that we talk about in the book is the importance of, obviously, we want to try to
00:11:12 recapture the institutions that have been lost to the left. But in some cases, in order to do that,
00:11:17 you have to create your own counter institutions. And that's exactly what Real America's Voice has
00:11:23 done here in terms of standing up this new pool feed obviously we spent all last week talk about
00:11:29 it uh the entire weekend the mainstream media is losing their minds tell us about what the latest
00:11:34 piece that real america's voice is making offer uh offering to everyone to make it available
00:11:39 for everyone who wants to watch absolute power to the people tell us about it yeah absolutely
00:11:46 thank you jack and and you're 100 right we have to go create the things to put in place
00:11:52 where there needs to be a void from this legacy media cartel,
00:11:56 and that's exactly what we're doing now,
00:11:58 and we're going to continue to grow and expand on this.
00:12:01 But what we've gone ahead and launched today,
00:12:03 as I've talked about a little bit earlier in the day,
00:12:06 there was a press release that went out this morning,
00:12:08 is ravpool.org.
00:12:10 And so ravpool.org, it's basically your one-stop shop
00:12:14 for everything we've been talking about over the last week.
00:12:18 So up there, as you can see on the screen at the top of the page,
00:12:20 That's where you have that live pool feed right there.
00:12:23 It's going to be completely clean, unedited, second-to-second live feed right there.
00:12:29 And we also have a real-time updated White House schedule of the president's movements, different events, things that he has going on that day.
00:12:38 And I think one of the most unique features that's standalone from what we've been doing over the last week or so is the actual pool notes or the bulletin that's there on the site.
00:12:48 And basically what that is is throughout the duration of these days and when the RAV pool team is inside of the White House or on these trips operating, we obviously go live at any opportunity that we get to bring a live feed out to the general public and to the other networks, we do that.
00:13:06 But that opportunity is not always there 100% of the time.
00:13:10 So what we've gone and done is set up a system where we can have our team on the ground
00:13:15 actually deliver second-by-second updates via rafpool.org.
00:13:20 You can see there on the side there's a few updates from today, a couple photos.
00:13:25 So it will actually give you those second-by-second updates.
00:13:28 You can actually subscribe using just your email address.
00:13:32 It's the only thing you've got to put in is your email address,
00:13:34 And you will receive these updates via email every single time they come through.
00:13:39 And it will keep you as close to the action as humanly possible with all of the latest information, what's the president doing, who is he in the room with, and so on and so forth.
00:13:51 And again, just so everybody's aware, because I know this question has come up a lot, this is a completely free system.
00:13:58 I wouldn't even go as far as to call it a service because it's not that.
00:14:01 It's something that we're creating for the public domain.
00:14:04 Completely free.
00:14:06 No charge whatsoever.
00:14:07 All you've got to do is really just go to the site to be able to stay on top of it.
00:14:12 And if you want those email notifications, you just pop your email right in there, and you'll be up to date on everything minute by minute.
00:14:19 Well, I tweeted out this morning because I saw when you were on with Ben, and I said, everybody get in the pool.
00:14:26 So that should be the log line for everybody get in the pool because that's what it is.
00:14:30 It literally is. It's it's it's like a it's a public pool and it's supposed to be a public pool.
00:14:36 That's it's not supposed to be a private pool feed.
00:14:38 The idea that there isn't the ability or there shouldn't be some ability.
00:14:42 Oh, look, we've got we've got coverage right there.
00:14:44 So we know the president, I believe they might be holding just looks like just outside the Oval Office right at the end of the colonnade there.
00:14:51 If I have my White House geography down pat, I think that's where they're at and that's
00:14:56 what we're seeing.
00:14:57 So again, you just, so how does it work?
00:14:58 You just, it's, it's up, it's up 24 seven.
00:15:01 And basically whenever it starts feeding, you just get access to it.
00:15:04 Is that how it goes?
00:15:06 Correct.
00:15:06 Yeah.
00:15:06 It's up 24 seven.
00:15:07 That video stream you see there at the top, the second we have a live feed that comes
00:15:11 out, whether it's on a remote trip, whether it's there at the White House, the second
00:15:16 that that, that feed goes live, you'll see it right there on the screen.
00:15:19 And then those updates as well, those will publish all throughout the day with various updates and information around the president's movements, who he's talking to, what he's doing.
00:15:29 And this is the antithesis of free press, right?
00:15:33 And that's really what we wanted to get through here is this legacy media cartel has had a stranglehold on this type of access and this type of information for far too long.
00:15:44 And we've proven that they're no longer necessary to get this information out.
00:15:49 Oh, look, Tim, I just pulled it up myself and I because I'm looking at it on the screen and I can't quite read it there.
00:15:56 But then I pulled up on Ravpool dot org. Here's the here's a response from or here's the latest post from Taylor Mitchell, our illustrious White House correspondent.
00:16:04 Press is standing outside Oval Office. We are waiting to go inside. Updated 10 seconds ago.
00:16:09 So there you go. And you can set notifications for that. And then there's also a schedule in the other tab.
00:16:13 And I think this is great. This is just the public schedule that is put out usually to press.
00:16:17 But it's so hard. It can be very hard to find when you go to a lot of these mainstream sites because, of course, they want to throw all their spin and their commentary on top of it.
00:16:26 But if you just want to know what's the president up to today, and regardless of if there's no opinion on this, it's just do you support it, do you not support it, whatever.
00:16:35 This is what he's doing. There's the policy meeting. There's the call time.
00:16:40 And then suddenly there's a presidential announcement, and we can see that it's live.
00:16:43 So that's coming up there. And the president participates in a print interview. That'll be at 3.30. So it's great. Just a little click in to say, hey, this is what the president's up to. And if you want to watch, you know, check it out. And then you're getting that that behind the scenes coverage.
00:16:58 Parker, why is it that nobody was doing this before? Why were they playing so many games about this?
00:17:03 well i i think it's i think it's very clear i mean i think the the independent media independent
00:17:09 journalists really have not had an opening or an opportunity to step into this role before because
00:17:16 again that that that legacy media has had such a stranglehold on the entire situation and there
00:17:23 was no room for for anybody to jump in and even get a shot at being able to provide this out to
00:17:28 the general public. Why do I think that the legacy media, I think, look, we all know why the legacy
00:17:35 media treats these feeds the way that they do. Their main goal is really to be deceitful when
00:17:43 it comes to information surrounding this president and this administration. I mean, we can clearly see
00:17:47 it with what they've been saying about Real America's Voice over the past week. I've seen
00:17:52 clip after clip after clip uh comments about uh there's no tv pool feed of the president's trip
00:17:58 to knoxville tennessee uh and it's it's just absolutely crazy i mean the fact that they would
00:18:04 actually go out there and say that with a straight face uh blows my mind because clearly as everybody
00:18:09 i'm sure who's watching this show right now and everybody who's familiar with real america's voice
00:18:14 or follows jack on x or nick sorter on x has seen that we have been on top of this since that
00:18:21 monumental shift after or during this trip to new york last week uh we've been on top of it
00:18:26 every single second uh and we're going to continue to do that this is we're what we're wanting to
00:18:31 make sure is that this is not a flash in the pan moment we want to leave a a lasting change and
00:18:37 work with the other independent media in order to do that uh and build build something bigger
00:18:42 and better for the future simple as that uh parker say give us one second i'll be right back
00:18:48 There's one piece I want to get with you as we wait here,
00:18:51 and you can see the Real America's Voice camera from the pool feed.
00:18:54 The president's about to go live imminently.
00:18:56 Right back to Human Events Daily on Real America's Voice.
00:19:16 Today, you know, you talk about influencers.
00:19:18 These are influencers. And they're friends of mine. Jack Posobiec. Where's Jack?

00:20:33 We've had some big things happen over the last couple of days, and we'll talk about it.

00:21:03 And there's a company known as Misabi,
00:21:07 which is one of the biggest in the world.
00:21:09 It's a great company, and they're going to make
00:21:11 a big investment in a place called Iowa, and I love Iowa.
00:21:15 I want Iowa every time.
00:21:17 Today we're thrilled to announce that
00:21:19 Mesabi Metallics will be building the largest steel plant
00:21:23 in American history in the great state of Iowa.
00:21:26 It's the largest plant,
00:21:28 one of the largest plants in the world,
00:21:30 but it's the largest plant in America by far.
00:21:33 We're also pleased to be joined
00:21:35 by Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnik,
00:21:36 Secretary of Energy Chris Wright,
00:21:39 Senator Joni Ernst, who's done a wonderful job,
00:21:42 and I'm going to miss you, Joni.
00:21:44 I can't believe you.
00:21:44 Thank you so much, Mr. President.
00:21:47 But you are right, are you?
00:21:48 Are you sure you're not sure you're right?
00:21:52 Thank you, Mr. President.
00:21:53 Governor Kim Reynolds, representatives Marionette
00:21:56 Miller-Meeks and Ashley Hinson.
00:21:59 And I saw some good polls just recently.
00:22:02 You're doing well, Ashley.
00:22:03 I saw that.
00:22:04 Looks like you're doing well.
00:22:05 You should do well.
00:22:07 Iowa Attorney General Brenna Byrne, who's been with me
00:22:09 right from the beginning, and Export-Import Bank Chairman
00:22:13 John Jovanovic, who is a fantastic young man, actually.
00:22:19 Once completed, Mesabi Metallic's new steel plant
00:22:22 will produce 10 million tons of steel per year
00:22:26 using iron ore from the company's Minnesota mine.
00:22:29 And Minnesota has, I will tell you,
00:22:31 they maybe have a lousy governor,
00:22:32 but they have great iron ore.
00:22:34 They have one of the worst governors in history, 1.00
00:22:37 a real stupid guy. 1.00
00:22:39 but they do have good iron ore, which is more important, I guess. 1.00
00:22:42 But it's the first new iron ore mine in the United States
00:22:46 in more than 50 years with the highest quality ore.
00:22:50 In other words, this steel will be mined, melted,
00:22:54 and made right here in the USA,
00:22:56 which is something very unusual.
00:22:57 The project is expected to create up to 6,000 new construction jobs,
00:23:02 nearly 2,000 manufacturing and mining jobs,
00:23:06 add another 95 billion dollars to the u.s economy which is the number one economy in the world by
00:23:12 far we have the best economy we've ever had we're building 21 trillion dollars worth of plants and
00:23:19 other now i think we can add this to it i'm not even including this but this is a tremendous
00:23:24 investment and it's going to be over the next 10 years using advanced steel making technology
00:23:30 The plan will produce some of the highest quality, most affordable steel anywhere in the world.
00:23:37 They're going to be making it here and using it here and also shipping it outside and do very well.
00:23:44 This announcement is only possible because of the pro-American policies of the Trump administration under Sleepy Joe Biden.
00:23:53 Have you heard of him?
00:23:54 Steel production declined significantly and nearly 200,000 manufacturing jobs were lost.
00:24:00 in the year before I took office, and they were leaving.
00:24:03 They were losing these jobs at record numbers.
00:24:07 But soon after my inauguration, 0.96
00:24:09 I imposed powerful 50% tariffs on all foreign SEAL, 1.00
00:24:13 and now our SEAL industry is roaring back to life. 1.00
00:24:16 Everyone's building their plant here
00:24:17 because they don't want to pay tariffs.
00:24:19 It's really not that complicated.
00:24:21 A lot of people say they don't understand it, but they do.
00:24:24 They just don't like to give us credit.
00:24:26 Because of tariffs, we are taking in hundreds of billions
00:24:31 of dollars of profits.
00:24:34 It's one of the reasons I can offer,
00:24:36 if Republicans win the House and the Senate,
00:24:40 $5,000 to every adult.
00:24:43 And we can do it, and the Democrats can't,
00:24:45 because the Democrats don't have any income,
00:24:49 and they're going to drive us into depression.
00:24:51 They won't have any money.
00:24:52 We have the exact opposite.
00:24:54 We've reduced imports of foreign steel by millions of tons,
00:24:57 and for the first time in 26 years,
00:25:00 the United States has surpassed Japan in steel production.
00:25:04 Think of it. We have surpassed Japan.
00:25:06 They're very good at what they do, too.
00:25:09 We currently have $47 billion
00:25:13 in projects announced are underway in the steel sector alone.
00:25:18 More than 4 million tons of new crude steelmaking capacity
00:25:22 is expected to become operational
00:25:25 in less than two years, substantially.
00:25:27 We've created nearly 60,000 new manufacturing jobs.
00:25:31 This year alone, many of them in the steel industry.
00:25:34 And today, we're adding even more,
00:25:36 the largest American steel plant of all time.
00:25:40 So two years ago, our country was dead,
00:25:43 and now we have the hottest country anywhere in the world,
00:25:46 and it's not even close.
00:25:48 Robbie, Ray, and Joe, I want to thank you very much
00:25:51 to this tremendous, now invite the Chairman Govanovic
00:25:58 to say a few words, followed by Secretary Lutnik,
00:26:00 Secretary Wright, the team from Mesabi,
00:26:03 I don't wanna really hear from them,
00:26:05 perhaps I wanna hear from them first,
00:26:07 and then say, all right, we'll let them go first.
00:26:10 It's my friend, Governor Reynolds, Senator Ernst,
00:26:13 and then representatives Marionette, Miller Weeks,
00:26:17 and Ashley Ensign, we'll go a little bit quickly,
00:26:19 because that's a lot of people.
00:26:21 That's a lot of people.
00:26:22 So, Mr. Chairman, if you would, please.
00:26:25 Yes, sir.
00:26:26 Thank you, Mr. President.
00:26:27 So what we're really talking about today
00:26:29 is America's economic security.
00:26:31 And it's, Mr. President, it's your plan in action.
00:26:34 But it all starts mining more in America.
00:26:37 The mine you mentioned is the first mine
00:26:39 opened in America 50-plus years focused on iron ore.
00:26:42 EXIM financed it, but most importantly,
00:26:45 it's found on the Iron Range in America,
00:26:48 which for 145 years has been the most prolific iron ore
00:26:51 deposit in the world.
00:26:53 It helped build America.
00:26:55 It helped win two world wars.
00:26:57 You're helping resurrect it, Mr. President,
00:26:59 with the first iron ore mine.
00:27:00 That is why this plant is possible,
00:27:02 because we are creating one American supply chain.
00:27:06 And what you see again here today,
00:27:07 Mr. President, is private capital
00:27:09 flowing in to rebuild America and to build America's future.
00:27:13 So we can assure that the war fighter of tomorrow in America
00:27:16 always well equipped and that everyday Americans have what they need when they
00:27:20 need it most and this is what it's going to take to continue to deliver the
00:27:24 American dream as president for another 250 years and how is the governor
00:27:27 treating you because I freed up the iron-oar and I said I absolutely won
00:27:33 the election but they wouldn't they cheat like hell but how is the governor
00:27:37 treating you because they freed it up and then they closed it and the people
00:27:40 were devastated because it is the finest iron ore in the world they say so how is the governor and
00:27:48 these other people that don't real don't just one of the worst run places i've ever seen how are
00:27:54 they doing you know mr president we were there only 10 days ago actually to initiate the mine
00:27:59 we set off 1.3 million pounds of explosives that put it into operation and that will be the iron
00:28:05 ore that feeds this plant and it makes steel in america and we can supersede the state right
00:28:10 If we can supersede the state, it's great.
00:28:13 Otherwise, the state will never be good.
00:28:16 They're very, they're really troubled people.
00:28:20 Thank you very much.
00:28:21 Great job you're doing, too, by the way.
00:28:23 Secretary Ludnick, please.
00:28:25 Okay, so these are your 232 tariffs, the steel tariffs at work.
00:28:31 Without those tariffs, this mine doesn't get built,
00:28:34 and this steel plant does not get built.
00:28:37 Two and a half billion dollar iron ore mine that does iron ore pellets, right?
00:28:43 And where do we get those pellets from now?
00:28:45 We get them primarily from Brazil.
00:28:48 So we are beholden to Brazil to build our steel in America
00:28:52 because the input is coming from outside the country.
00:28:55 So now we are unleashing the iron range in Minnesota,
00:29:00 which is the greatest, as the chairman said,
00:29:03 the greatest set of iron in the world is right here in America.
00:29:07 We're going to, these gentlemen to my right from SR,
00:29:11 they're doing a fantastic job, $2.5 billion for the mine,
00:29:15 and then you go right down to Mississippi to Iowa,
00:29:18 where they're going to build a $15 billion integrated steel plant,
00:29:24 which will create steel at the same price they make it
00:29:28 and import it from China.
00:29:30 This is competitive.
00:29:32 If you do it all here, if you don't ship it from around the world, you don't buy it from other people, this is exactly your plan.
00:29:39 This is exactly why you're doing it, because you're driving steel to America.
00:29:43 The gentlemen to our right from SR are fantastic.
00:29:48 This is great for Iowa. It's great for Minnesota.
00:29:50 This is your plan, living it out in America, building $17.5 billion investment, bringing steel, which protects our national security, home to America.
00:30:02 Well done.
00:30:03 Thank you very much.
00:30:04 And we're also doing a tremendous aluminum plant in Oklahoma, one of my favorite places
00:30:09 in the whole world.
00:30:10 And that's going to be unbelievable.
00:30:12 It'll be the biggest, I think, the biggest in the world.
00:30:15 And that's going to be very exciting.
00:30:18 Secretary Wright, please.
00:30:20 So this is the Trump reindustrialization of America hitting the ground at serious scale.
00:30:27 At the end of World War II, the United States produced 60 percent of global steel with the
00:30:33 dominant economic power and military power in the world, and that means you're a massive
00:30:37 steel producer.
00:30:38 We've gone decades in the wrong direction, short-sighted political leadership, overblown
00:30:44 environmental concerns that just said make it somewhere else, don't make it in America.
00:30:49 President Trump got elected to re-industrialize our country, bring that jobs, opportunity,
00:30:54 and national security back to our country.
00:30:57 You've heard about the mine in Minnesota, that's fantastic.
00:31:00 Even bigger is where is that iron ore going to turn into American steel?
00:31:04 In Iowa.
00:31:05 In Southeastern Iowa.
00:31:06 Why?
00:31:07 Because Iowa has tremendous, hardworking people, great leaders that believe in their state
00:31:13 and believe in high-paying jobs for everyone in the state of Iowa.
00:31:17 And then they meet up together with some of the best entrepreneurs in the world on planet
00:31:22 earth just to my right right here from SR who are many businesses around the world and that leads to
00:31:28 a giant investment to re-industrialize America a win for American national security and a massive
00:31:34 economic win in vote of confidence in the fabulous state of Iowa you are doing a great job thank you
00:31:41 very much and how are you doing in Venezuela progress everyday progress there's never been
00:31:47 anything like it that's a tremendous thing that's happening uh miss abhi metallics the leaders are
00:31:54 here the owner is here thank you one of the richest men in the world
00:32:02 the sun and please thank you mr president for bringing back the importance of building things
00:32:11 in america while i was born in india i went to high school in new york college in boston and did
00:32:17 my MBA in California. I have spent half my life here, so announcing this investment today
00:32:22 is a great honor and a true homecoming for me. My family and I spend a lot of time in
00:32:27 Minnesota where we are investing $3 billion to build the first new mine in America in
00:32:32 50 years. We will be producing the Patriot pellet very soon, which will be amongst the
00:32:37 highest quality iron ore pellets in the world. With the new steel complex in Iowa, we will
00:32:44 complete the fully integrated American supply chain from mine to mill. American ore carried
00:32:51 on American railroads to an American steel plant powered by American energy built and
00:32:57 operated by an incredibly hardworking and talented American workforce. Mr. President,
00:33:05 this plant will use the latest technology and will compete head-to-head with any steel
00:33:10 plant in the world on size, quality, and on cost.
00:33:15 This project writes the next chapter for our company and our family, and it is your policy
00:33:19 and your leaderships, Mr. President, that I made this possible.
00:33:22 Thank you, sir.
00:33:23 So how did you answer him?
00:33:24 He said, don't try and compete with him.
00:33:27 You're not going to be successful.
00:33:29 Go ahead.
00:33:30 What a great family.
00:33:31 What a good job you did.
00:33:32 Thank you, sir.
00:33:33 Thank you very much.
00:33:34 Please.
00:33:35 Mr. President, Governor Reynolds, the entire Iowa delegation, Secretary Luttec, Secretary Wright, and Chairman Yawashi, and I founded SR many decades ago.
00:33:49 We are a family business, and above all, we are builders.
00:33:53 We have built world-class steel plants, oil refineries, ports, power plants, and various other assets in India and overseas.
00:34:03 Mr. President, we have now chosen to build our next major chapter here in America.
00:34:11 We have the expertise of building projects like the proposed steel plant in Iowa,
00:34:15 and we look forward to complement all the excellent knowledge that already exists
00:34:21 within the American steel industry with our own expertise.
00:34:26 I would like to acknowledge the support of your administration,
00:34:29 which has been highly engaged and proactive.
00:34:34 I would like to thank Governor Reynolds as well as the Iowa delegation for making us feel welcome in Iowa
00:34:40 and for the care for the benefit of all Iowans as they support this mega investment.
00:34:47 Thank you, Mr. President, for your leadership and your confidence in ESSA and the RUYA family.
00:34:55 Thank you again, sir, for standing behind American investment and American industry and for making this possible.
00:35:02 Thank you, sir.
00:35:03 thank you great job and what do you think the total cost will be your investment will be about
00:35:08 18 billion dollars 18 billion 20. he's pulling it back i got a good price so it's 18 billion
00:35:21 who could who could think of such a thing so fantastic and these are the highest quality
00:35:26 people you'll ever meet it's great kim reynolds please well first of all uh this person and i
00:35:31 And I want to say thank you to you, your commitment to bringing manufacturing back to the states
00:35:39 and really restoring American industrial dominance is the reason that this is happening.
00:35:43 This would not be happening without your leadership.
00:35:46 So a heartfelt thank you for what you're doing for this country.
00:35:51 And I think it underscores, you know, COVID underscores how important this is.
00:35:55 We saw what happened during COVID and the opportunities that exist because of the leadership that came in place.
00:36:02 So thank you so much for that. We really appreciate it.
00:36:04 I also want to just say a heartfelt thank you to Robbie, Ray, and Joe.
00:36:10 It has been incredible synergy in the state of Iowa working on this project.
00:36:14 Both tough negotiations took place, but the mindset was always to get to where we are at today.
00:36:20 And we could not be prouder than being the future home of the largest steel investment in this country.
00:36:28 And the impact that we'll have is just undeniable.
00:36:31 This is a transformational opportunity, not only for our country, but for Iowa and really for American families.
00:36:39 It reduces our dependence on our foreign supply chain, strengthens our national security.
00:36:45 And most importantly, as the governor for Iowa, these are tremendous, high-paying jobs with incredible benefits, increased salaries, and opportunities for local businesses and community development.
00:36:59 And also, we're standing up Source Iowa at the end of this week, so we want to make sure that Iowa businesses that are located in the state have the opportunity to partner with Masabi Metallic.
00:37:10 So I can't even express the gratitude and the excitement of Iowans.
00:37:15 And really what this does is it changes the economic trajectory for this recent region.
00:37:24 It's one of the most depressed regions of Iowa.
00:37:27 But not only for Iowa, but for the whole Midwest.
00:37:30 The over-the-fence supply chain that will come to this area because of this investment is second to none.
00:37:37 so thank you uh for your leadership again and for helping make this possible we're very grateful
00:37:43 and you'll never have higher quality people than these people these people are i mean really
00:37:49 amazing and i don't know let me ask you so can they use a little ethanol to heal good idea
00:37:57 i was waiting for an opportunity to talk about e15 year-round but you know what the infrastructure
00:38:02 updates are also huge. This is an area that's missed out on a lot of projects over the last five years because we didn't have the capacity of natural gas. And this actually brings additional capacity for natural gas power, rail and roads to a state that's ready to lean in and help you bring back industrial violence.
00:38:22 But you do, you have great ethanol and it's probably
00:38:25 going to play a very big role.
00:38:27 Joanie, please.
00:38:28 Thank you, Mr. President.
00:38:30 Okay, folks, this is one of the greatest American muscle
00:38:34 reflexes that you are going to see in a long time.
00:38:37 I am so excited about this project.
00:38:40 It would not be possible, Mr. President, if you had not
00:38:45 set the stage with your policies and economic
00:38:50 development and using resources right here in our homeland.
00:38:55 So I want to thank the entire Trump administration team.
00:38:59 I want to thank SR.
00:39:00 Thank you all so much for choosing Iowa to produce your steel.
00:39:05 We're excited about it.
00:39:07 We are looking for ways for America to refine, to mine,
00:39:12 to grow, and to manufacture.
00:39:15 And all of that is happening right there in southeast Iowa.
00:39:19 We are so proud to be home to your new plant.
00:39:23 And it's all because of you, Mr. President.
00:39:25 Well, thank you very much.
00:39:26 And you have been my friend for a long time.
00:39:28 Thank you.
00:39:29 And I appreciate it. 1.00
00:39:30 And a young lady is going to be hopefully elected to the Senate. 0.99
00:39:35 And she's outstanding. 0.99
00:39:36 One of the top anywhere in the country.
00:39:39 They talk about her all the time.
00:39:40 They all respect Ashley Henson.
00:39:43 And they respect her like really maybe nobody else.
00:39:47 And I think I hear you're doing well.
00:39:49 I hope you're doing well.
00:39:50 Yes, sir.
00:39:51 Well, thank you so much.
00:39:52 You're doing a fantastic job.
00:39:53 We're working hard and appreciate your agenda.
00:39:55 And as Joni and Kim just said, you know, we appreciate investment in American manufacturing
00:40:00 because Iowa does a lot of things really, really well.
00:40:03 We feed and fuel the world.
00:40:05 And now we're going to continue to be a part of the American manufacturing story.
00:40:08 And with 1,700 jobs, I just think about the countless opportunities for Iowa families
00:40:13 and what this means for them.
00:40:15 It is a game changer for our state and, frankly, for the country.
00:40:19 And if you look at the jobs numbers that you've been posting every single month, they're not government growth jobs.
00:40:24 They're private sector jobs, and that is what is so critical for our economy to move our economy forward.
00:40:30 The working families tax cuts, the certainty that we provided families, I think we should make those all permanent because people love them,
00:40:36 and we need to make sure that they can rely on those going forward, Mr. President.
00:40:39 So thank you for what you and the entire team did to solidify this investment in America.
00:40:44 greatness and immuno manufacturing well and i'm going to come to iowa i got more votes than anybody
00:40:49 in history during the last election all three i went up up up and i think i'm more popular now
00:40:55 than i was then which is some year and a half ago i will say that uh we're going to do a great rally
00:41:01 and we'll all be there together we have to get you all elected we'll see if you're good i don't
00:41:05 pork chop sir so mary ned please mr president uh thank you so much want to thank your leadership
00:41:16 and your policies uh this announcement would not happen today without uh that leadership
00:41:22 and those policies being in place southeast iowa my district has long had jobs leave
00:41:26 go overseas it's heartbreaking when you're in those communities day after day so to see
00:41:32 The largest steel mill in America being built in Iowa and in southeast Iowa, 1,700 permanent
00:41:38 jobs, 6,000 construction jobs, average salary of $49.
00:41:44 These are families that can make over $100,000.
00:41:46 So it's just transformational in this area.
00:41:48 And also the natural gas pipeline that's going to come.
00:41:51 We've lost business opportunities there because we couldn't deliver the energy that we needed.
00:41:56 So we're going to mine it in America, we're going to mill it in America, and we're going
00:42:00 going to make it in America. Thank you, Mr. President.
00:42:03 I'm ready to start the chair here.
00:42:06 I'm ready to – yeah.
00:42:09 Well, I would just say that, Mr. President, thank you for your leadership bringing American
00:42:15 steel drops back to America and to the heart of the heartland in Iowa. These are good-paying,
00:42:21 family-supporting steelworker jobs, and I'm so proud as an Iowan that you chose our state
00:42:29 to invest in. And Mr. President, without your leadership, this would not have happened.
00:42:32 We are so thankful for American steel to be made in America. And as an Iowan, I'm so
00:42:38 proud that we're making it in Iowa. Thank you. Yeah.
00:42:40 Well, you have the best people. You have incredible people. And you're going to find
00:42:44 that you're going to have some of the greatest employees. They're all over the world. And
00:42:48 you don't get bigger. But you'll find that Iowa, the people in Iowa are going to be the
00:42:51 best people you've ever had to work with. They're unbelievable.
00:42:55 I'm sure about that. So, great. Thank you, sir.
00:42:57 Great honor.
00:42:58 Thank you, sir.
00:42:59 Any questions?
00:43:00 Thank you so much.
00:43:03 Well, you have a lot of upcoming Republican rallies.
00:43:06 You're heading to Oklahoma.
00:43:07 You're heading to Alabama, Ohio.
00:43:09 What is your message to voters heading into the midterms? 0.96
00:43:12 We're great people, and we're running against communists, lunatics, socialists.
00:43:17 We're running against people that are going to open up the water.
00:43:20 We have a border that just came out 17 months in a row.
00:43:23 in a row we have no people coming in zero which is hard to believe even but that's what it is
00:43:29 i don't put out the numbers and we have a strong water we have the best economy the biggest
00:43:35 investment in the history of our country think of that 21 trillion dollars is being invested
00:43:42 with china it's three trillion with biden from the last it was a half a trillion for
00:43:48 four years it would have been negative or 21 trillion the biggest amount in history and that
00:43:55 money's building plants like today as an example i don't know this number is a big number 18 18
00:44:01 billion dollars i don't even think we're including that number but we have 21 trillion dollars being
00:44:07 invested in our country we have the highest number of jobs in the history of the united
00:44:13 states of america we have the best crime numbers in the history of our country despite the fact
00:44:19 that they allowed 25 million people many of whom were criminals into our country we have the best
00:44:25 burger it's not a nice thing to say but the murders are lower than any time since 1900 0.58
00:44:32 so we have the best crime numbers we have the best economic numbers
00:44:36 we have iran will never have a nuclear weapon we're going to win that war very soon that'll
00:44:40 be over and the gas and gas prices will come tumbling down so nobody else could have done
00:44:48 that nobody else if the democrats took in the border will be opened immediately and you have
00:44:54 millions of people pouring through just like it was before that's the most horrible thing i've
00:44:59 ever seen. Yeah, please. Mr. President? Two questions on steel, if that's okay. Why was it so important for you to establish a fully integrated American supply chain, the raw materials, steel and iron, specifically from a national security perspective? Why was it so important for you to do that?
00:45:16 Well, because we have a military that's very powerful. And there are certain products you have to make. Steel is one of them. You need it for your planes, your army tanks. You need it. You know, we have a lot of problems. We have a lot of things we don't have
00:45:29 But when it comes to national security, I would say steel is number one on your list. Steel, aluminum, big aluminum plant coming, I told you. Big one, beautiful. Great people also. But if we don't make it ourselves, we don't really, we can't defend ourselves.
00:45:47 We can't call up another nation and say we want to build 2,000 army tanks and we have no steel.
00:45:54 Can we get some? 0.96
00:45:56 We'll call China.
00:45:57 Do you mind giving us some steel to build army tanks?
00:46:00 I don't think it doesn't work out.
00:46:02 By the way, we had a great meeting with President Xi.
00:46:05 I would say I would rate it as a, on the scale of 0 to 10, I would rate it a 12.
00:46:10 Very respectful, very good, great meeting.
00:46:13 So, you know, steel in particular.
00:46:16 but other things too we want to make them uh medicine coming back they're all coming back 0.97
00:46:22 hundreds of billions of dollars of plants are being built eli lily is spending billions merck
00:46:30 pfizer they're all coming back and we learned that during covet we didn't make anything now
00:46:36 we'll make it at all they're all coming back at record numbers so thank you for the question
00:46:40 a deal where we're doing very little we're just it's a great site it's very important it's a
00:46:57 phenomenal site and it's phenomenal people they're going to have and that's the biggest thing uh
00:47:02 power do you want to answer that question sure so my partner chairman of excellent bank they helped
00:47:08 finance the mine, right, to produce that, but then these gentlemen from SR, they are
00:47:15 going to build the plant.
00:47:16 So it's private money is going to build the steel plant, but Exit Bank drove and assisted
00:47:23 in the mine, a portion of it, but helped launch that project.
00:47:27 Is it contingent on tax breaks within Iowa?
00:47:30 No, I think this deal's done.
00:47:32 This deal's done.
00:47:33 They've already worked it out.
00:47:34 That's why we're all together with the president.
00:47:36 The president doesn't bring people together unless it's a done deal.
00:47:39 You guys know that already.
00:47:40 They've already started building, and you're talking about, you know, think of it, if you
00:47:47 build a $10 million building, it's big, $50 million is quite big, $500 million is really
00:47:53 big, $18 billion they're spending from outside money, and all from the highest sources, most
00:48:01 respected people anywhere in the world.
00:48:03 It's pretty amazing.
00:48:04 Mr. President, two questions, one on Iran and then one on Iowa.
00:48:10 I started with Iowa, though.
00:48:11 So you've won Iowa by 13 points.
00:48:14 Some of the polling go for some of the races right now in the Senate
00:48:18 and also some of the House races a little closer, much closer, in fact.
00:48:22 Why are Republicans, do you think, having to work so hard to hold on to these seats?
00:48:26 I don't know. I love Iowa.
00:48:27 I've always been very strong with Iowa.
00:48:30 There's been some things that the Democrats have done that are very bad for our country.
00:48:38 You know, they had high prices.
00:48:40 I've reduced the prices, but they like to say affordability.
00:48:43 But they're the ones that caused the affordability problem.
00:48:46 They're the ones that caused all of these problems. 0.90
00:48:48 And they were unwilling to stop Iran from having a nuclear weapon. 0.89
00:48:52 They said, let somebody else. 0.86
00:48:53 Of course, I could say that about many people.
00:48:56 We have stopped them from having a nuclear weapon.
00:48:58 and they understand that and they're willing to say that but um i'm surprised i'd like to
00:49:05 first of all the polls are fake that uh when you see somebody like ashley one of the greatest
00:49:13 politicians you'll see it one of the greatest she'll be one of the greatest politicians in
00:49:18 america going to be highly respected and she is highly respected she's going to be representing 0.97
00:49:23 Iowa in the Senate. She's going to bring back a lot of money for Iowa. You know, Iowa is a state
00:49:30 that likes money coming back into it. If you put these people in there, you're not going to bring
00:49:35 back any money. These people, every one of them, they bring a lot of money back to Iowa that helps
00:49:40 with ethanol and other things, many other things. And I know Ashley well, and she will be a tremendous
00:49:49 is success as a senator. She's going to bring a lot of goodies back to Iowa, which Iowa needs. 0.92
00:49:56 I think the polls are accurate because I want it by so much, and it doesn't make sense that
00:50:00 they wouldn't be right up there with me. And really quickly, sir, on the arrest in the UK,
00:50:06 there was five suspects that were arrested. It was just released on bail. What's your reaction
00:50:10 to that? And is this connected to Iran? Might be, but I will tell you, I would have said
00:50:16 don't let them have bail cashless bail I wonder is it cashless bail I guess that
00:50:23 was one of the problems that we had which started the whole mess of crime
00:50:26 and we're ending cashless bail but over there I'm surprised that they released
00:50:32 them I wouldn't have done that look they've been very good they're working
00:50:35 with us very closely we know everything about them we would not have released
00:50:40 them so you said might be Iran might be can you elaborate on that I'd rather not
00:50:45 i mean i know the answer i can be very specific but i'd rather not say but uh i would not have
00:50:51 released them has your team still arrived today yeah they have their mediators yeah
00:50:59 anything else you can share what uh any movement of your talks we're going to win as far as i'm
00:51:05 concerned it's going to be one way or the other and it's going to be it's going to go pretty
00:51:09 quickly mr president i have two questions for you mr president one on this announcement and
00:51:13 and went on the state visit that you had last week.
00:51:15 On this announcement last year,
00:51:17 you also announced that there will be a steel plant
00:51:20 that will be set up in southern Louisiana.
00:51:24 Here you have this steel plant
00:51:25 that's being set up in Iowa.
00:51:28 Is there any concern that these deals will go away
00:51:31 if there's a change in the House or the Senate
00:51:34 or a change in the person who occupies the White House?
00:51:36 No, because we've given them documents
00:51:37 that will, you know, really,
00:51:39 it won't matter who's in office.
00:51:41 They have to do that.
00:51:42 They're putting up $18 billion.
00:51:45 If I'm not here and somebody less friendly is going to be here,
00:51:49 that person that's less friendly will have no choice but to allow them to build.
00:51:53 They're a great businessman among the best in the world.
00:51:57 They're not going to be putting up with that.
00:51:58 So they have guarantees that what they bargained for,
00:52:03 to put up all of that money, all of that tremendous wealth, it'll be 100%.
00:52:08 And then on the state visit yesterday on Fox News Sunday,
00:52:12 Ambassador to China, Perdue,
00:52:15 said that you suggested to President Xi
00:52:18 that the U.S. would sell U.S. military equipment to China.
00:52:23 Is that accurate?
00:52:24 Did you make such a suggestion to the President?
00:52:25 To China?
00:52:26 To China, yes.
00:52:26 You mean to Taiwan?
00:52:28 No, to China. That's what he said.
00:52:29 I never heard of that one.
00:52:30 I'm going to have to ask him, you mean we're going to sell?
00:52:33 No, they'd probably like to buy it
00:52:34 because we do make better equipment than that.
00:52:36 So maybe it's a good idea.
00:52:38 Mr. President, two questions, one for the investors.
00:52:49 I would like to know if in this project, as you know, Africa is a very rich continent
00:52:53 that can pretty much supply things for this project.
00:52:57 Are you considering to import some of the materials for this project from any African
00:53:02 country?
00:53:03 Like Congo and Angola can also pretty much supply.
00:53:06 Mr. Absolutely.
00:53:07 Most of the critical materials that are required for this project will be sourced from America itself within the U.S.
00:53:13 There are some materials like manganese that may need to be imported for making and refining the highest quality steel.
00:53:19 So that is something that is not necessarily available in the U.S.
00:53:22 And so we will be looking at global sourcing for those materials until they're there.
00:53:27 So Africa is one of the...
00:53:28 It is absolutely possible.
00:53:29 And Mr. President, on the...
00:53:31 She loves Africa.
00:53:34 She always asks about it.
00:53:35 She never talks about any other place.
00:53:38 That's the way it should be, right?
00:53:39 Good job.
00:53:40 Mr. President, another question on DRC Rwanda.
00:53:44 You, among many other administrations,
00:53:46 so for the last four administrations,
00:53:49 you're the only one who started doing something to end the war.
00:53:52 Thirty years' war in DRC in Congo.
00:53:55 So you did already your part. 0.72
00:53:56 You bring both President Kagame and President Chisekedi to the White House.
00:54:01 They signed the peace agreement. 0.99
00:54:02 But Rwanda is still violating.
00:54:04 Are you planning to take serious action? 1.00
00:54:06 Yeah, we're going to stop it.
00:54:07 If there is a violation, we know about it.
00:54:09 We ended the war with Congo and Rwanda,
00:54:12 and they both signed and they both agreed.
00:54:14 So, well, look, I just heard about it a little while ago.
00:54:17 If there's a problem, we'll stop.
00:54:19 Mr. President, I just came from BRC.
00:54:22 I was there a month ago, and I witnessed, again, 0.98
00:54:26 Rwanda still killing a lot of Congolese, Mr. President. 0.99
00:54:30 If you can do something... 0.95
00:54:32 And you witnessed it?
00:54:33 Yes, Mr. President, and I have evidence that I can share.
00:54:36 How is Ebola going?
00:54:37 Oh, Ebola is under control.
00:54:39 I spoke with the world director of the World Health Organization during the UN,
00:54:44 and he says it's under control, but still, the country needs some help to fight Ebola.
00:54:49 But the biggest problem is the war.
00:54:51 I'll make sure it works. 0.99
00:54:53 That's what I do.
00:54:54 I'll make sure things work out.
00:54:57 Good job you're doing.
00:54:58 Mr. President, I want to ask you about this project, as well as Canadian trade, if I could.
00:55:02 on this project the production is 2030 when could we see significant jobs with
00:55:07 this production is a massive plant and 6,000 jobs in that area it's a great area of Iowa but
