00:02:37.000 Joining us now is May Mailman, White House Deputy Assistant to the President and Senior Policy Strategist.

00:02:43.000 May, great to see you.

00:02:45.000 Major victory today on the Supreme Court.

00:02:47.000 You're doing wonderful work, by the way, May, helping this agenda every day.

00:02:51.000 So congratulations on that.

00:02:52.000 And also congratulations on this major decision from the Supreme Court.

00:02:55.000 Tell us all about it, May.

00:02:57.000 Yeah, this is a huge day.

00:03:00.000 You know, you are optimistic, but even I wasn't this optimistic.

00:03:04.000 This is amazing.

00:03:06.000 So for years, President Trump has been essentially told what to do by random unelected district court judges.

00:03:15.000 More than half of all nationwide injunctions that have ever taken place are against President Trump.

00:03:21.000 Everything from judges telling him he needs to put transgender people in the military, how he needs to run his immigration, everything from the wall to who's deported.

00:03:31.000 Top to bottom nationwide injunctions.

00:03:33.000 And it was not the same when Trump was out of office and conservative judges often restrained themselves.

00:03:40.000 So the Title IX case, which many people will remember, the conservative states sued and did pause Biden's illegal Title IX rewrite in those states, but not nationwide until, of course, we came in and said, we're not doing that anymore.

00:03:57.000 So this is a really huge day.

00:04:00.000 And so May, just go deeper into this for our audience.

00:04:03.000 This means that if there is an injunction, it will only pertain to the district that the injunction was authored in.

00:04:09.000 Is this the end of all nationwide injunctions?

00:04:12.000 Oh, of course, the left is going to try and weasel around this. 0.71

00:04:15.000 So this case particularly pertained to birthright citizenship.

00:04:19.000 Obviously, on day one, President Trump said illegal aliens, their children don't automatically become citizens.

00:04:26.000 It set up a little system in order to do that. 0.59

00:04:29.000 And a lot of people sued.

00:04:30.000 So three different courts said, we're not just going to say that this law is illegal as pertains to who is in front of us.

00:04:38.000 We're going to say that this executive order is illegal everywhere, for everyone, for all time.

00:04:44.000 And so the Supreme Court said, no, you're not going to do that.

00:04:46.000 Now, there are still some open questions.

00:04:49.000 So for example, if a group of 10 states sue, can you enjoin the executive order in those 10 states and for anybody who passes through that state?

00:05:00.000 You know, there are ways to make this broad.

00:05:01.000 Then there's the class action approach.

00:05:04.000 So of course the left is going to keep trying to push this, keep trying to push this.

00:05:08.000 However, yes, it is true that today, nationwide injunctions that are just sweeping, we don't like you, Trump.

00:05:16.000 So we're going to stop you from doing what you would like to do because I'm a district court judge and I'm bored.

00:05:22.000 That practice is over.

00:05:25.000 And the profundity and the significance of this is that this was all happening in like five different jurisdictions.

00:05:31.000 And the original intent of the Constitution was never to have a singular district court judge be able to sweep the entire nation repeatedly.

00:05:44.000 And so what other than executive orders does this potentially free up that are now enjoined?

00:05:51.000 Yeah, so this is going to have a huge impact.

00:05:55.000 Let's just take, for example, some of our policies that have said we're not going to spend money on hospitals, transgender procedures for minors.

00:06:06.000 That gets enjoined.

00:06:07.000 We've also said we're not, that's a big one.

00:06:10.000 We've also said, for example, that we're not going to fund transgender procedures in prison.

00:06:16.000 So these sorts of things, these cultural issues, I think are going to are going to move forward.

00:06:21.000 Now, the Supreme Court has done an oak, has done a pretty good job of whacking these district court judges when they get too far.

00:06:27.000 So, for example, We had judges say that you can't deport people to third countries.

00:06:34.000 And the Supreme Court said, no, you can.

00:06:37.000 But it has been a repeated, repeated, repeated going up to the Supreme Court.

00:06:40.000 And the Supreme Court basically says this is not how it's supposed to be.

00:06:44.000 There's not supposed to be an emergency every single time that affects the entire nation.

00:06:50.000 Parties need to individually sue and then they can get relief for those parties.

00:06:54.000 And some people will win and some people will lose.

00:06:56.000 And that'll percolate up to the Supreme Court.

00:06:58.000 And they'll be able to look and see what are the different reasonings that we have?

00:07:02.000 How is the law being interpreted?

00:07:04.000 What do we need to fix?

00:07:05.000 So this is really good for process for the American people.

00:07:09.000 This is good for the Supreme Court for people to trust the opinions that are coming out of there because they will be more thoughtful.

00:07:14.000 They'll have more information.

00:07:17.000 This is a net positive for everybody.

00:07:20.000 And of course, the dissent does not see it that way.

00:07:23.000 So, May, do you have any thoughts on the dissent against Katanji Brown Jackson?

00:07:28.000 It was just pure judicial savagery.

00:07:31.000 I mean, this is it, quote, this is the whole dissent.

00:07:34.000 We will not dwell on Justice Jackson's argument, which is at odds with more than two centuries' worth of precedent, not to mention the Constitution itself.

00:07:44.000 We observe only this.

00:07:46.000 Justice Jackson decries an imperial executive while embracing an imperial judiciary.

00:07:51.000 Look, I got to be honest, that Amy Cody Barrett is not always with us, but this was a phenomenal, sharp, usually dissents are multiple pages long and they're deep.

00:08:02.000 This is one paragraph that goes right after KBJ.

00:08:06.000 Your thoughts, May Mailman.

00:08:07.000 So Justice Jackson obviously has not been consistent in being brave, and yet she's been consistent in being concerned about an overstep of judicial power.

00:08:19.000 And so really, she is aghast that Justice Jackson thinks, and this is what Justice Jackson wrote down on paper, that she thinks that the job of a judge is to stop Trump, is to see any time that executive is doing something that that judge believes is against the law and stop it.

00:08:41.000 But that's not the case.

00:08:43.000 So one, there are rules that apply to judges too.

00:08:47.000 You as a judge have the judicial power.

00:08:49.000 You don't have policymaking power.

00:08:51.000 I don't like this.

00:08:52.000 I think these people should be getting that.

00:08:54.000 You can't just step in and say that.

00:08:56.000 You as a judge have limited powers to decide cases and controversies.

00:09:00.000 This is in the Constitution, cases and controversies, which means between the parties that are in front of you, issues that are in front of you.

00:09:07.000 And Justice Jackson cares none about that.

00:09:09.000 Now, the founders did care about that.

00:09:12.000 And there were certainly models out there that said before laws can take effect, before an executive can act, they have to ask the judiciary for permission.

00:09:20.000 Say, can I do this?

00:09:21.000 And the judiciary can say yes or no.

00:09:22.000 That is not our system.

00:09:24.000 Our system is three equal branches.

00:09:27.000 And for the judiciary to not be a super branch that sits over everybody and tells everybody what to do, there are certain rules.

00:09:34.000 Justice Jackson does not care about those rules.

00:09:37.000 And she has no basis for it.

00:09:38.000 She just doesn't like it.

00:09:39.000 And so Justice Barrett very rightly says, you know what?

00:09:43.000 At least the other two liberals pointed to laws underpinning why they disagree.

00:09:48.000 You don't.

00:09:49.000 You just want to tell Trump what to do.

00:09:52.000 And that's insane.

00:09:54.000 And it is a remarkable opinion from Justice Barrett.

00:09:58.000 It is.

00:09:59.000 And May, I want to keep you for a couple more minutes, if that's okay.

00:10:01.000 I know that we have packed schedules, but the audience is loving this.

00:10:05.000 Can you speak more broadly to the policy portfolio that the president is pushing, that I know that you're working on with Stephen Miller in regards to immigration?

00:10:14.000 We must have immigration customs and enforcement back, have their back, and we do on this program.

00:10:19.000 How does these legal decisions impact our ability to be able to do mass deportations?

00:10:25.000 And what cases are you most closely looking at so that we can have expedited removal of alien invaders?

00:10:31.000 Yeah, the American people voted overwhelmingly for border security, but they also voted for interior enforcement because if you can cross the border and make it into the country and then it's, oh, there's, you know, there's no recourse for you, then you do not have a closed border.

00:10:48.000 Border security, interior enforcement is national security.

00:10:51.000 And so the cases that this is going to affect are many.

00:10:54.000 It is going to affect whether Biden had any authority to basically create fake immigration laws to say you can CBP one your way into this country.

00:11:04.000 It's going to affect, continue to affect, cases like the ones that I mentioned.

00:11:08.000 Where can individuals be removed to?

00:11:10.000 It's going to affect authorities that you can use, money that you can use to detain people and to build the wall.

00:11:17.000 There is a countless application for immigration law here, even things like the student visas, whether or not the executive has authority to take away student visas when the law says so, but judges don't like that.

00:11:30.000 And so today is a really great day for the separation of powers and for limited judicial power, which is unchecked.

00:11:37.000 They want to have a ceremonial executive.

00:11:39.000 They just want a ribbon-cutting executive where the president welcomes Super Bowl champions and Little League World Series kids and they come to the White House and they get dinners and they just smile and wave and all of a sudden you have no power.

00:11:51.000 We have three co-equal branches.

00:11:53.000 Co-equal. 0.50

00:11:54.000 We do not have judicial supremacy or legislative supremacy.

00:11:57.000 So May, can you talk a little bit to the strategy, this Shakana executive order strategy that the president developed, which was that he signed a lot of executive orders early?

00:12:07.000 The brilliance of doing this early in the term was that we knew there was going to be a flurry of legal challenges.

00:12:12.000 But to adjudicate those in the first six to nine months, instead of going into year two, three, or four, is a brilliant strategy.

00:12:20.000 It's so smart.

00:12:21.000 It's so wise because we're going to see more and more of these very well-tailored and sometimes legally provocative executive orders figured out earlier than later so that we can then govern for the remainder of the administration, not fight in the courts the entire administration.

00:12:39.000 May.

00:12:39.000 Charlie, this is my favorite issue.

00:12:42.000 So thanks for bringing it up.

00:12:43.000 And you were there during transition.

00:12:45.000 You saw how hard people were working because this change is something that matters to us.

00:12:51.000 So during 1.0, my personal experience was there was a regulation we were trying to get passed and I said, hey, can I see a draft of this in six months?

00:12:59.000 And they laughed at me.

00:13:00.000 The agency laughed at me and said, no, this will take years.

00:13:03.000 And sure enough, the public charge regulation did not come out for several years.

00:13:08.000 And even though we were successfully litigating that case, it was so late in the term that by the time that we were ready to take it to the Supreme Court, there was a change in administration.

00:13:19.000 And so, of course, Biden took it down.

00:13:21.000 And this was something that says, in order to come here, you have to basically be able to pay your way a little bit and not be a huge drag on society.

00:13:29.000 So now during Trump 2.0, the lesson that we have learned is, no, you can do things quickly.

00:13:35.000 We know this because when during COVID, we did do things quickly.

00:13:38.000 And we saw the deep state work with us.

00:13:40.000 They were so excited to do some of these things.

00:13:42.000 And then also we saw Biden worked really quickly.

00:13:44.000 So it is absolutely possible.

00:13:46.000 And we just said, this is, we're not taking no for an answer this time.

00:13:49.000 We're going to move quickly.

00:13:51.000 And everyone understand, so the speed and the rapidity, because we know legal challenges are coming.

00:13:58.000 And so they're going to come.

00:13:59.000 So you brace for impact early.

00:14:01.000 So for example, in Trump 1.0, one of the biggest legal accomplishments did not come, I think, till like year two and a half or three, which was remain in Mexico on the border.

00:14:12.000 And it took us like two years to finally get it through.

00:14:15.000 This time, we're building on a strong legal basis for the border, which is one of the reasons why the border is totally secure, because we did all that legal work in Trump 1.

00:14:23.000 You see, we worked through the courts in the thicket and we did all that.

00:14:26.000 So then day one, we could just re-implement everything we already did.

00:14:29.000 President Trump signs documents, cartels, foreign terrorist organizations remain in Mexico.

00:14:32.000 We're going to threaten tariffs.

00:14:34.000 Boom.

00:14:34.000 Military declaration.

00:14:35.000 Next thing you know, we have zero people coming across the southern border.

00:14:38.000 Speak to how we sometimes have to let this play out.

00:14:42.000 And then the good stuff is really going to start rolling in the coming years now that we navigate through the frustrating but necessary component of the third branch of government.

00:14:52.000 Yeah, and this ruling is going to help alleviate some of the frustration.

00:14:56.000 But basically, the executive orders come out.

00:14:59.000 You have rogue parties and you have rogue judges in joining them.

00:15:04.000 And there's a low point.

00:15:05.000 You know, there's a point where you feel like the things that you wanted aren't happening.

00:15:09.000 And what are you going to do about it?

00:15:10.000 And the Supreme Court has been good with overturning some of that.

00:15:14.000 But really, some of it is a slog.

00:15:16.000 The Supreme Court does not sit every day to answer every single one of our questions.

00:15:20.000 And so it requires building that case, picking the right cases, finding the best arguments, and taking that to the Supreme Court.

00:15:27.000 Now, those are going to be taken next term.

00:15:29.000 So when the Supreme Court reconvenes in October, those cases are all in front of them and it's on a strong posture.

00:15:35.000 Those are our best cases.

00:15:37.000 Those are our best arguments.

00:15:38.000 And so it leaves still three years, essentially, to go implement the rest of the agenda and solidify them, make that, get our wins in Congress and to really execute and change the course of the country, because that is what this presidency is about.

00:15:57.000 It's not about racking up minor wins.

00:15:59.000 It's about changing the trajectory of our nation.

00:16:02.000 Saving the civilization.

00:16:03.000 Last question here, May.

00:16:04.000 I want you to brag on what the president, you, Stephen, have done on the border.

00:16:08.000 It's unlike anything we've ever seen before.

00:16:10.000 We have to repeat it every day.

00:16:11.000 I don't think we're doing a good enough job of beating the drum of success on the border.

00:16:15.000 How did you do it?

00:16:16.000 And what operationally is the truth of what is not happening on the southern border?

00:16:21.000 Yeah, so the border is a signature success.

00:16:25.000 And the fact that people aren't talking about it anymore is because things aren't going wrong, right?

00:16:29.000 Things are going right.

00:16:30.000 And so what you see when the numbers are zero, what does that mean?

00:16:34.000 Zero means that there are no gotaways.

00:16:37.000 There's nobody that we're tracking via drones seeing that they get away.

00:16:41.000 Every single person is, and there are some illegal crossers, but they are detained and then they are deported.

00:16:50.000 And that is not only a success.

00:16:52.000 So that's not just a success of our Border Patrol agents.

00:16:55.000 That's also a success of Marco Rubio and our State Department because people didn't accept their migrants back when it was Biden because they said, no, we don't want our criminal.

00:17:04.000 And Biden said, okay.

00:17:06.000 But now we say you will take back your citizens.

00:17:09.000 And people know not to mess with Trump and not to mess with our new era of American greatness.

00:17:15.000 And so border security is so much more than just the infrastructure there or the wall or the people.

00:17:21.000 It is American power that's being asserted again.

00:17:24.000 May, congratulations.

00:17:26.000 Come back soon.

00:17:27.000 You're terrific.

00:17:27.000 May Mailman from the administration.

00:17:30.000 Wonderful job.

00:17:31.000 Thanks so much.

00:17:32.000 Thanks, Charlie.

00:17:35.000 Making America Great Again starts with making America healthy again.

00:17:39.000 Charlie Kirk here, I lost 40 pounds with the PhD Weight Loss and Nutrition Program.

00:17:44.000 And two years later, I haven't gained a pound back.

00:17:46.000 I started the PhD weight loss program because I need to be healthy to keep up with my crazy schedule.

00:17:51.000 Most people start a weight loss program to get healthier.

00:17:54.000 So why is big pharma spending millions to convince you to use their weight loss injections that do just the opposite?

00:18:01.000 They have harmful side effects and lifelong dependency.

00:18:04.000 Take a natural approach that isn't connected to a big pharma bottom line.

00:18:09.000 PhD changes the way you think about food.

00:18:11.000 They custom design a plan that is simple and works with your schedule.

00:18:16.000 You'll learn to quiet cravings and finally release the unhealthy belly fat.

00:18:20.000 You won't be hungry and you'll never take medication.

00:18:23.000 Call 864-644-1900 to schedule your one-on-one consultation or visit myphdweightloss.com.

00:18:31.000 That is myphdweightloss.com.

00:18:33.000 864-644-1900.

00:18:35.000 Good morning.

00:18:38.000 Good morning.

00:18:39.000 Good morning, President.

00:18:42.000 Well, this was a big one, wasn't it?

00:18:45.000 This was a big decision.

00:18:48.000 An amazing decision, one that we're very happy about.

00:18:51.000 This morning, the Supreme Court has delivered a monumental victory for the Constitution, the separation of powers, and the rule of law.

00:19:00.000 In striking down the excessive use of nationwide injunctions to interfere with the normal functioning of the executive branch, the Supreme Court has stopped the presidency itself.

00:19:11.000 That's what they've done.

00:19:13.000 And really, it's been an amazing period of time, this last hour.

00:19:20.000 There are people elated all over the country.

00:19:23.000 I've seen such happiness and spirit.

00:19:26.000 Sometimes you don't see that, but this case is very important.

00:19:29.000 I was elected On a historic mandate, but in recent months we've seen a handful of radical left judges effectively try to overrule the rightful powers of the president to stop the American people from getting the policies that they voted for in record numbers.

00:19:46.000 It was a grave threat to democracy, frankly, and instead of merely ruling on the immediate cases before them, these judges have attempted to dictate the law for the entire nation.

00:19:58.000 In practice, this meant that if any one of the nearly 700 federal judges disagreed with the policy of a duly elected President of the United States, he or she could block that policy from going into effect or at least delay it for many years, tie it up in the court system.

00:20:16.000 This was a colossal abuse of power which never occurred in American history prior to recent decades, and we've been hit with more nationwide injunctions than were issued in the entire 20th century together.

00:20:30.000 Think of it, more than the entire 20th century, me.

00:20:34.000 I'm grateful to the Supreme Court for stepping in and solving this very, very big and complex problem, and they've made it very simple.

00:20:43.000 I want to thank Justice Barrett, who wrote the opinion brilliantly, as well as Chief Justice Roberts and Justices Alito, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Thomas.

00:20:54.000 Great people.

00:20:56.000 Thanks for this decision and thanks to this decision.

00:21:01.000 We can now promptly file to proceed with numerous policies that have been wrongly enjoined on a nationwide basis.

00:21:08.000 And some of the cases we're talking about would be ending birthright citizenship, which now comes to the fore.

00:21:16.000 That was meant for the babies of slaves. 0.99

00:21:18.000 It wasn't meant for people trying to scam the system and come into the country on a vacation.

00:21:24.000 This was, in fact, it was the same date, the exact same date, the end of the Civil War.

00:21:28.000 It was meant for the babies of slaves, and it's so clean and so obvious. 0.99

00:21:32.000 But this lets us go there and finally win that case because hundreds of thousands of people are pouring into our country under birthright citizenship, and it wasn't meant for that reason.

00:21:42.000 It was meant for the babies of slaves. 1.00

00:21:45.000 So thanks to this decision, we can now promptly file to proceed with these numerous policies and those that have been wrongly enjoined on a nationwide basis, including birthright citizenship, ending sanctuary city funding, suspending refugee resettlement, freezing unnecessary funding, stopping federal taxpayers from paying for transgender surgeries, and numerous other priorities of the American people.

00:22:13.000 We have so many of them.

00:22:14.000 I have a whole list.

00:22:15.000 I'm not going to bore you, and I'm going to have Pam get up and say a few words, but there's really, she can talk as long as she wants, because this is a very important decision.

00:22:24.000 This is a decision that covers a tremendous amount of territory.

00:22:28.000 But I want to just thank, again, the Supreme Court for this ruling.

00:22:31.000 It's a giant.

00:22:33.000 It's a giant.

00:22:34.000 And they should be very proud.

00:22:36.000 And our country should be very proud of the Supreme Court today.

00:22:39.000 And with that, I'd like you to listen to the words of Pam Bonte.

00:22:44.000 She's an incredible Attorney General. 0.71

00:22:46.000 We're very proud of her.

00:22:48.000 And as you know, Todd Blanche is with us.

00:22:50.000 And we have so many others that worked on this case and other cases.

00:22:55.000 And I think they're doing a great job.

00:22:57.000 Pam, please say a few words.

00:23:02.000 Thank you, President Trump.

00:23:05.000 Thank you for fighting for all Americans.

00:23:08.000 Americans are finally getting what they voted for.

00:23:11.000 No longer will we have rogue judges striking down President Trump's policies across the entire nation.

00:23:19.000 No longer.

00:23:20.000 Today in the 6-3 opinion, Justice Barrett correctly holds that the district court lacks authority to enter nationwide or universal injunctions.

00:23:30.000 These lawless injunctions gave relief to everyone in the world instead of the parties before the court.

00:23:38.000 As the Supreme Court held today, they turned district courts into the imperial judiciary.

00:23:45.000 Active liberal justices, judges have used these injunctions to block virtually all of President Trump's policies.

00:23:54.000 To put this in perspective, there are 94 federal judicial districts.

00:24:02.000 Five of those districts throughout this country held 35 of the nationwide injunctions.

00:24:09.000 Think about that.

00:24:10.000 94 districts.

00:24:12.000 And 35 out of the 40 opinions with nationwide injunctions came from five liberal districts in this country.

00:24:21.000 No longer, no longer.

00:24:24.000 These injunctions have blocked our policies from tariffs to military readiness to immigration to foreign affairs, fraud, abuse, and many other issues.

00:24:33.000 The judges have tried to seize the executive branch's power and they cannot do that.

00:24:39.000 No longer, no longer.

00:24:41.000 And on immigration, on a side note, today marks 2,711 arrests on these terrorists and these gangs.

00:24:52.000 Total arrest today with HSI investigations and thank you, Stephen Miller.

00:24:57.000 Thank you to Homeland Security.

00:25:00.000 Thank you to everyone working hand in hand with the FBI on all of these transnational gangs.

00:25:06.000 TDA has been a huge terror to our country, as well as MS-13, as well as Sinaloa cartels.

00:25:13.000 No longer.

00:25:14.000 No longer.

00:25:15.000 These injunctions have allowed district court judges to be emperors.

00:25:20.000 They vetoed all of President Trump's power, and they cannot do that.

00:25:25.000 This has been a bipartisan problem that has lasted five presidential terms, five different presidents, and it has ended today.

00:25:36.000 We will continue to fight for President Trump's policies.

00:25:40.000 I want to thank the Office of White House Counsel, Dave Warrington.

00:25:43.000 You and your staff have been incredible.

00:25:45.000 Our Solicitor General's Office, John Sowers, Sarah Harris, and Todd Blanche and Amel Bovey.

00:25:51.000 Todd's going to say a few words because we've had another major ruling today on transgender books and some other great wins that we've had.

00:26:00.000 But no longer will they have this power in our country.

00:26:03.000 It is the president's authority under his executive branch to do everything to fight for the American people, and he will continue to do that.

00:26:12.000 That's why he was overwhelmingly elected.

00:26:14.000 Thank you.

00:26:18.000 Thank you.

00:26:19.000 Today's a great day for the rule of law.

00:26:22.000 It's a great day for the Justice Department.

00:26:24.000 And it's one that's been a long time coming and one that every American should have been waiting for with bated breath.

00:26:31.000 And so I echo what the President said and Attorney General Bondi, that the Supreme Court did a great thing today, not only for this administration, but for every American in this country.

00:26:43.000 If not for the injunctions case, we would be here talking about another great decision that came down today, the trans books case, which restores parents' rights to decide their child's education.

00:26:53.000 Seems like a basic idea, but it took the Supreme Court to set the record state, and we thank them for that.

00:26:59.000 And now that ruling allows parents to opt out of dangerous trans ideology and make the decisions for their children that they believe is correct. 0.57

00:27:08.000 And so we thank the Supreme Court for that.

00:27:10.000 There's been multiple decisions over the past several weeks that just show why this injunction, why this nationwide injunction ban had to happen.

00:27:19.000 For example, what I mean by that is local district court judges issuing decisions that are clearly contrary to law just because they don't like the policy of President Trump.

00:27:29.000 And when it gets to the Supreme Court, the Supreme Court has to correct it.

00:27:33.000 But that takes time.

00:27:34.000 The Attorney General thanked our lawyers, and I'll do it again.

00:27:38.000 Our lawyers are working 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to fight these injunctions and to emergency appeals, emergency stays, going back to district court judge, asking them to change their view.

00:27:49.000 And so their hard work is really paying off today, but over the past few weeks.

00:27:53.000 We had a stay of an order that prevented DHS from moving aliens to a third country.

00:27:58.000 We had a stay of an order that stopped the Department of Defense from implementing military readiness, the EO that President Trump signed.

00:28:06.000 We had another stay of an order forcing reinstatement of fired executive branch employees entirely within the President and Article II, his right to do.

00:28:14.000 We had a stay of, as you all know, of numerous Doge cases.

00:28:18.000 And again, every one of those stays requires a tremendous amount of work and effort by the lawyers and parties involved.

00:28:26.000 And they should be doing other work.

00:28:27.000 They should be doing the work that the President and this administration demands and has a right to demand and not fighting these local judges who don't make decisions based on the law.

00:28:39.000 They make decisions because they just simply don't agree with the administration's decision about a policy and that's wrong.

00:28:44.000 Thank you.

00:28:48.000 Any questions?

00:28:51.000 Yes, for fam, please.

00:28:53.000 Go ahead.

00:28:54.000 Sure.

00:28:55.000 Thank you, Madam Attorney General.

00:28:57.000 So as you know, the Supreme Court did not rule on the underlying constitutionality of the President's birthright citizenship order.

00:29:06.000 So what is the plan now?

00:29:08.000 Are you going to try to implement the EO just in states where there isn't a legal challenge?

00:29:13.000 Yes, so birthright citizenship will be decided in October, in the next session, by the Supreme Court, unless it comes down in the next few minutes.

00:29:22.000 I guess it could come down.

00:29:24.000 I think they're still deliberating right now on some cases.

00:29:26.000 As you heard, we just got transgender books, which is a huge win.

00:29:30.000 But most likely, that will be decided in October in the next session.

00:29:34.000 However, it indirectly impacts us because, as you correctly pointed out, if there's a birthright citizenship case in Oregon, it will only affect the plaintiff in Oregon, not the entire country.

00:29:46.000 So yes, it's indirectly, but that's pending litigation and we're waiting on that in the next term.

00:29:50.000 And how concerned are you that the Supreme Court will come back and determine that the executive order is unconstitutional?

00:29:56.000 We're very confident in the Supreme Court.

00:29:58.000 But again, it's pending litigation and that will directly be determined in October.

00:30:03.000 But it indirectly impacts every case in this country and we're thrilled with their decision today.

00:30:08.000 Peter.

00:30:08.000 Madam Attorney General, thank you for being here to take our questions.

00:30:11.000 A couple questions to the both of you.

00:30:12.000 The EO goes, had a 30-day grace period before it goes into effect.

00:30:17.000 Is there any thought about trying to make it effective immediately within that period of time?

00:30:22.000 We're going to follow the law.

00:30:23.000 We're going to make those decisions and we're going to do what's right in the bounds of the law.

00:30:26.000 And then the DOJ didn't ask the justices to rule on the merits of the birthright citizenship ban.

00:30:32.000 Just for explanation purposes, why?

00:30:34.000 Sure, because that's going to come down in October in the separate.

00:30:38.000 This was huge because it's indirectly impacted today.

00:30:42.000 As I said, it's now it's case by case.

00:30:45.000 Let me reiterate, of the 35 of the 40 nationwide injunctions filed against this president, against his executive authority as president of the United States, 35 of them came from Maryland, D.C., Massachusetts, California, Washington.

00:31:02.000 I mean, that's crazy.

00:31:04.000 These five districts.

00:31:05.000 So yes, it indirectly impacts us.

00:31:07.000 It will be a separate decision in October.

00:31:09.000 Next question.

00:31:11.000 Thank you, Mr. President.

00:31:12.000 A question for you, sir.

00:31:13.000 Do you believe this ends the power of the lower court judges to stop your agenda?

00:31:17.000 Do you see this as a full green light for your agenda going forward?

00:31:20.000 Well, you'd have to really speak to the lawyers about that.

00:31:23.000 But this is really also a decision based on common sense.

00:31:26.000 It didn't work the other way.

00:31:28.000 It was a disaster where somebody from a certain location in a very liberal state or a liberal judge or a liberal group of judges could tie up a whole country for years because their decision would sometimes take years to overturn.

00:31:42.000 We've overturned many of the decisions, but it would take years to do it.

00:31:46.000 And we have to act quickly when it comes to illegal immigration.

00:31:50.000 We have murderers, killers.

00:31:52.000 We have drug dealers. 0.57

00:31:54.000 We have what they've allowed to come into our country should never be forgotten.

00:31:58.000 It should never be forgotten, what they've done to our country.

00:32:01.000 And we have to be able to act very quickly, and we're going to do that.

00:32:04.000 Thank you.

00:32:04.000 Just as Pony Bear, sir, I know that you praised her and her opinion here in this case.

00:32:10.000 She has taken some heat, though, from some of your supporters who have labeled her weak, a squishy, a rattled law professor.

00:32:17.000 What is your take on that?

00:32:18.000 I don't know about that.

00:32:18.000 I just have great respect for her.

00:32:20.000 I always have.

00:32:21.000 And her decision was brilliantly written today from all accounts.

00:32:26.000 Transgender ruling.

00:32:27.000 Mr. President, what would you say To Americans who fear that this is more and more concentration of power in the White House and the executive.

00:32:37.000 Well, this way it brings back the Constitution.

00:32:39.000 This is what it's all about.

00:32:40.000 And this is really the opposite of that.

00:32:42.000 I mean, the question is fine, but it's the opposite.

00:32:44.000 The Constitution has been brought back.

00:32:49.000 Thank you so much, President Trump.

00:32:51.000 Equal crossings in the border are zero now.

00:32:54.000 Zero.

00:32:55.000 Does everyone hear that?

00:32:57.000 Trump 2028!

00:32:59.000 Do you intend President Trump?

00:33:02.000 Who is that guy?

00:33:04.000 I like him.

00:33:07.000 He's working the cameras.

00:33:09.000 With this new reality, President Trump in the border, we intend to engage personally with leaders from South America, not only Central America, in order to tell us.

00:33:20.000 I do that anyway.

00:33:21.000 I do that anyway.

00:33:22.000 And if you have a perspective of needing some presidents from South America, as Brazil, for example.

00:33:29.000 As an example, not South America, but NATO over the weekend.

00:33:33.000 They have great respect for our country now.

00:33:34.000 They did things that nobody thought was possible.

00:33:37.000 They took funding from 2% to 5%.

00:33:39.000 Nobody thought they'd ever pay the 2%.

00:33:41.000 And now they're paying the 5%.

00:33:43.000 It's over a trillion dollars more a year.

00:33:45.000 Think of that, a trillion dollars.

00:33:48.000 Nobody thought that could happen.

00:33:49.000 That's a different group of people, different countries.

00:33:52.000 But we get along with a lot of countries.

00:33:54.000 We are respected again.

00:33:56.000 Our country, the U.S., is respected again.

00:33:59.000 Was not respected six months ago.

00:34:04.000 The world is waking up to the power of gold.

00:34:06.000 National banks are scrambling to secure it.

00:34:09.000 According to the World Gold Council, central banks added 1,000 tons of gold in 2024, the third straight year of net gold buying.

00:34:18.000 They understand what many investors don't.

00:34:20.000 Gold is real money.

00:34:22.000 Unlike paper currency, gold's value doesn't disappear with inflation, reckless government spending, or market crashes.

00:34:30.000 Now, Noble Gold investments makes it easy for you to claim your share.

00:34:33.000 And as our new administration works, it needs to reverse the economic chaos of the past.

00:34:38.000 Market swings are inevitable.

00:34:39.000 When uncertainty rises, you need something solid, something to keep you on the path to financial freedom.

00:34:46.000 Gold can be that foundation.

00:34:47.000 And right now, when you make a qualified investment, Noble Gold will send you a three-tenth of an ounce of a gold coin.

00:34:54.000 Visit NobleGoldInvestments.com.

00:34:56.000 That is noblegoldinvestments.com.

00:34:58.000 The world is turning to gold.

00:35:00.000 Shouldn't you be looking into doing that too?

00:35:04.000 Yeah, go ahead, Trace.

00:35:06.000 Mr. President, you have a deadline coming up on trade in two weeks.

00:35:09.000 Which country?

00:35:11.000 On trade, on tariffs?

00:35:13.000 Sir.

00:35:13.000 Which countries, if any, are close to agreements with the administration?

00:35:16.000 Well, that's an interesting question.

00:35:18.000 We've made a deal with China.

00:35:19.000 We've made a deal with probably four or five different countries.

00:35:23.000 With the UK, it was a great deal for both.

00:35:27.000 And we're in the process of making some others.

00:35:29.000 But ultimately, in fact, Scott is here.

00:35:31.000 Howard Luttnick, these two guys have been doing an incredible job.

00:35:34.000 And the people that work with them have been doing an incredible job.

00:35:37.000 But, you know, we have 200 countries.

00:35:40.000 You could say 200 countries plus.

00:35:41.000 We can't do that.

00:35:43.000 So at a certain point over the next week and a half or so, or maybe before, we're going to send out a letter.

00:35:48.000 We talk to many of the countries, and we're just going to tell them what they have to pay to do business in the United States.

00:35:54.000 And it's going to go very quickly.

00:35:56.000 But some of the bigger countries, so India, I think we're going to reach a deal where we have the right to go in and trade.

00:36:03.000 Right now it's restricted.

00:36:04.000 You can't walk in there.

00:36:05.000 You can't even think about it.

00:36:06.000 We're looking to get a full trade barrier dropping, which is unthinkable.

00:36:13.000 And I'm not sure that that's going to happen.

00:36:15.000 But as of this moment, we've agreed to that, go into Indian trade.

00:36:18.000 We're going to be trading in China.

00:36:19.000 That's going to come a little bit down the road, but we're going to be trading in China.

00:36:23.000 We have a lot of great things going, and we're getting along with countries, but some will be disappointed because they're going to have to pay tariffs.

00:36:29.000 And we've taken in already hundreds of billions of dollars in tariffs.

00:36:34.000 No inflation.

00:36:36.000 The only problem we have is we have a Fed guy that doesn't understand what's happening.

00:36:39.000 And it would be great if we'd lower the rate because we'd be able to borrow a lot cheaper.

00:36:45.000 Yeah, go ahead, please.

00:36:49.000 Why don't we keep it on this subject?

00:36:50.000 This is such a big subject.

00:36:52.000 You know what?

00:36:52.000 Trade is so big, but this, I don't know, in a certain way this might be bigger than trade.

00:36:59.000 I think this is bigger than trade.

00:37:00.000 Yes, please go ahead.

00:37:01.000 I was wondering, though, if you could, sir, on the transgender ruling, the Supreme Court ruling that parents with religious objections can pull their kids out of public school lessons that use LGBTQ materials.

00:37:13.000 Pam brought it up.

00:37:14.000 Your reaction to that ruling today, sir.

00:37:16.000 I think the ruling was a great ruling, and I think it's a great ruling for parents.

00:37:20.000 It's really a ruling for parents.

00:37:22.000 They lost control of the schools.

00:37:24.000 They lost control of their child.

00:37:26.000 And this is a tremendous victory for parents.

00:37:29.000 And I'm not surprised by it, but I am surprised that it went this far.

00:37:34.000 It took us to bring life back to normal.

00:37:36.000 So it's a wonderful.

00:37:37.000 It's parental.

00:37:39.000 And I kept saying, we will give you back your parental rights.

00:37:42.000 They were taken away.

00:37:43.000 And this is a tremendous victory for parents.

00:37:46.000 Mr. President, if you look at the, back at the last week, it's been extraordinary in terms of the action in the Middle East.

00:37:52.000 We were at The Hague.

00:37:53.000 It's been a couple of weeks, hasn't it?

00:37:57.000 I'm wondering now, sir, if you believe that Iran has given up its long history of ambitions with nuclear weapons, or what you would like to see from them to prove that they do.

00:38:08.000 And what type of meetings is your administration looking for next week with Iran?

00:38:13.000 So Iran wants to meet.

00:38:15.000 As you know, their sites were obliterated.

00:38:17.000 They're very evil nuclear sites.

00:38:19.000 They were now has been proven.

00:38:20.000 We had some fake news for a little while.

00:38:22.000 The same people that covered the Hunter Biden laptop was from Russia.

00:38:27.000 The same people that did three or four other Russia, Russia, Russia hoax.

00:38:32.000 No, no, wait, wait, just listen.

00:38:34.000 They came up with something that delayed the credit that our great pilots and these great Americans, I mean, what talent that was.

00:38:42.000 And they hit it right down in the spot, 52,000 feet.

00:38:45.000 Think of this dark, no moon, you couldn't see a thing.

00:38:49.000 And they hit the refrigerator door, as they say.

00:38:51.000 That's the size of a target.

00:38:54.000 And overwhelmingly, and it's amazing what was done.

00:38:58.000 We're the only ones that could have done it.

00:39:00.000 And we took out two of the other sites also, in addition to that.

00:39:04.000 We finished them off.

00:39:05.000 That was very evil intention.

00:39:08.000 I believe that, and again, time will tell, but I don't believe that they're going to go back into nuclear anytime soon.

00:39:16.000 They spent over a trillion dollars on nuclear.

00:39:19.000 they never got it together.

00:39:21.000 And nothing was moved from the site, by the way.

00:39:23.000 To do that is very dangerous.

00:39:24.000 It's very, very heavy material.

00:39:26.000 Those cars were most likely the cars of masons because they were pouring concrete at the top at the hatch, as you know, the hatch going into the nuclear site.

00:39:36.000 They wanted to reinforce it, and they had some masons there pouring concrete.

00:39:40.000 By the way, that concrete was obliterated.

00:39:43.000 It hit exactly at the concrete.

00:39:45.000 It was, I don't think it had a chance to dry, but everything's down there.

00:39:50.000 It's under millions of tons of rock.

00:39:58.000 Your administration has said that El Salvador is one of the safest countries in the hemisphere.

00:40:02.000 So why haven't you yet temporary protective status to that country?

00:40:06.000 Was it part of the deal?

00:40:06.000 Well, we'll take a look.

00:40:07.000 We've had a great relationship with El Salvador.

00:40:10.000 They have a fantastic leader.

00:40:11.000 They built a massive prison system.

00:40:15.000 And I don't know exactly why, but it's a hell of a system.

00:40:19.000 And we bring people there.

00:40:20.000 And when they go there, they don't get out.

00:40:23.000 And frankly, when they hear they have to go there, they become very nice people.

00:40:26.000 They become very nice people.

00:40:28.000 It's a tough system, but it's a brilliant system.

00:40:30.000 And it's a system done by a very, very good leader.

00:40:34.000 We'll talk about El Salvador.

00:40:36.000 A lot of respect.

00:40:39.000 Yeah, please.

00:40:39.000 Thank you.

00:40:40.000 A question for you, and then a question for the Attorney General.

00:40:43.000 As you go into negotiations and talks with Iran, are you demanding not only that there would be no uranium production inside of Iran, but also that Iran would turn over all existing stockpiles of uranium?

00:40:55.000 Well, you know, we're a little early for that, but something like that.

00:40:58.000 Yeah, we'll do something like that.

00:41:00.000 Let me say that I've been saying for 25 years, even as a civilian, you cannot let them have a nuclear weapon.

00:41:08.000 And that's what happened.

00:41:10.000 It's been obliterated.

00:41:11.000 It would be years before they could ever get going.

00:41:13.000 And I really think it's probably the last thing they have to recover from a hell of a tough war.

00:41:18.000 Would you also be demanding that the IAEA have full rights to inspect an Iranian?

00:41:23.000 Or somebody.

00:41:24.000 Yeah.

00:41:24.000 Or somebody that we respect.

00:41:26.000 Including ourselves.

00:41:27.000 And a question for both the President and the Attorney General.

00:41:30.000 Under birthright citizenship, if this is implemented, who would be tasked with actually vetting citizenship?

00:41:36.000 And would this be a situation where you have nurses and doctors checking for citizenship of parents?

00:41:43.000 This is all pending litigation.

00:41:45.000 It's going to be decided in October by the Supreme Court, and we'll discuss that after the litigation.

00:41:51.000 If you have an undocumented baby, would that baby then be an enforcement priority?

00:41:57.000 The violent criminals in our country are the priority now.

00:42:01.000 Let me put it in perspective.

00:42:03.000 Today marked the 2,711th arrest in our country of TDA members, just TDA.

00:42:12.000 Everyone in this room agrees they are one of the most violent criminal organizations in the world.

00:42:18.000 And the Biden administration let them walk into our country, walk into our country for the last four years.

00:42:25.000 2,711 of them today have been arrested in our country.

00:42:30.000 That is the priority of Donald Trump.

00:42:32.000 That is the priority of this country, of Homeland Security, of all of our lawyers, of FBI.

00:42:37.000 That's the priority.

00:42:38.000 That will be discussed in October when the Supreme Court hopefully rules in our favor, and we're very confident of that.

00:42:45.000 But you should all feel safer now that President Trump can deport all of these, all of these gangs, and not one district court judge can think they're an emperor over this administration and his executive powers and why the people of the United States elected him.

00:43:03.000 I just might add one thing.

00:43:05.000 You know, they used birthright citizenship, some of the worst people, some of the cartels, to get people into our country, just so you know.

00:43:12.000 And again, I say, if you look at the end of the Civil War, the 1800s, it was a very turbulent time.

00:43:18.000 If you take the end day, was it 1869 or whatever?

00:43:22.000 But you take that exact day, that's when the case was filed.

00:43:25.000 And the case ended shortly thereafter.

00:43:27.000 This had to do with the babies of slaves, very, very obviously.

00:43:32.000 And I think we're going to win.

00:43:34.000 People didn't, I don't think they went about discussing it right.

00:43:37.000 I came along and we looked and we said, wait a minute, this is wrong.

00:43:41.000 We've been looking at birthright citizenship wrong for years, but they've used it. 0.99

00:43:45.000 The cartels have used birthright citizenship to get very bad people in.

00:43:48.000 And what Pam's doing and what Todd and everybody else, what they're doing at DOJ and all over, FBI, ICE, Border Patrol, these are incredible people.

00:43:58.000 They're trying to keep our country safe and they don't want to have people come in. 0.97

00:44:02.000 This is just another way that they get illegal immigrants into our country and in some cases, very, very bad ones. 1.00

00:44:09.000 Go ahead.

00:44:10.000 Thank you, Mr. President.

00:44:11.000 On your tax bill, if I could for a moment, senators are racing to rewrite parts of it right now after the Senate parliamentarian ruled that sections of it were outside of the process that they're using to get this through.

00:44:23.000 Do you think that senators should respect the decisions of the parliamentarian?

00:44:28.000 And what have you personally done in the last 48 hours to try and get Republican senators who are against the bill to a yes?

00:44:35.000 Well, look, it's a great bill.

00:44:37.000 It's a massive tax cut.

00:44:39.000 If it's not approved, your taxes will go up by 68 percent.

00:44:43.000 Think of that, 68, a record, the highest in the history.

00:44:46.000 The Democrats won't approve it only because politically it's so good for the Republicans.

00:44:51.000 The Democrats aren't approving it.

00:44:52.000 But think of what they're not approving.

00:44:54.000 They're not approving border security.

00:44:56.000 We've done a great job at the border, but we have to add some wall.

00:44:59.000 We have to do various things.

00:45:02.000 We have no money for that.

00:45:03.000 We have no money for the border.

00:45:04.000 We have no money for so many things.

00:45:07.000 But if the Democrats, it would be interesting to see if we get any Democrat votes.

00:45:11.000 We should.

00:45:11.000 If I were a Democrat, I would absolutely, maybe Fetterman, because he seems to be the most sensible one lately.

00:45:17.000 If I were a Democrat, I would vote for this bill all day long because it's tax cuts and so many other things that are common sense.

00:45:24.000 They're basic things.

00:45:26.000 I think they're doing fine.

00:45:28.000 The parliamentarian's been A little difficult, and I would say that I disagree with the parliamentarian on some things, and on other ways he's been fine.

00:45:38.000 But we'll have to see.

00:45:39.000 It's a big issue.

00:45:40.000 I will tell you this: if that bill doesn't pass, the country will get a 68% tax increase.

00:45:48.000 So think of this: you're a Democrat and you vote against it.

00:45:51.000 That means you're voting in favor, because essentially you're voting in favor of the largest tax hike in the history of our country.

00:45:59.000 And you can't do that.

00:46:00.000 In addition, we're cutting costs by $1.7 trillion, and it won't affect anybody.

00:46:05.000 It's just fraud, waste, and abuse.

00:46:09.000 Mr. President, Mr. President, a leading global economist just did a 180 and says your tariff plan, you may have outsmarted everybody with it.

00:46:19.000 What is your message?

00:46:20.000 I love this.

00:46:21.000 I love this question.

00:46:23.000 This is the best question I've ever been asked because I've been going through abuse for years on this.

00:46:28.000 Because as you know, we're taking in hundreds of billions of dollars, no inflation whatsoever.

00:46:36.000 But Mr. President, what is your message to critics who think your tariff plan will cause a recession?

00:46:41.000 I think they should go back to business school.

00:46:43.000 It's so obvious.

00:46:44.000 It's so obvious.

00:46:45.000 I mean, we're taking in billions and billions of dollars from China and a lot of other countries.

00:46:51.000 We took in, I had a call from somebody in the House and high official, sir, we have a problem.

00:46:59.000 We don't know what to do.

00:47:00.000 The books are a mess.

00:47:01.000 I said, what do I mean by the books?

00:47:02.000 The books, the money coming in.

00:47:04.000 It's so terrible.

00:47:05.000 I figured, oh boy, what's this?

00:47:07.000 I don't like this question.

00:47:08.000 I said, so what seems, there's so much money coming in, and there must be some kind of an accounting mistake because we have hundreds of billions of dollars more money than we thought.

00:47:18.000 I said, do me a favor, go check the, call me back.

00:47:21.000 You have to call me back.

00:47:22.000 Check the tariff column.

00:47:25.000 Calls me back two hours later, says, you're right.

00:47:28.000 We took in $88 billion in tariffs.

00:47:31.000 They have so much money coming in.

00:47:33.000 But more important than the money coming in, we have companies coming in, factories coming in, auto plants being built.

00:47:39.000 AI is being built here instead of being built all over Europe and Asia.

00:47:43.000 We have all of it.

00:47:45.000 We have over $15 trillion, just about, Scott.

00:47:48.000 I think we're right at about that number.

00:47:50.000 We went to Saudi Arabia.

00:47:52.000 We went to Qatar.

00:47:53.000 We went to UAE.

00:47:54.000 Very smart people, very smart leaders, great leaders.

00:47:57.000 And we took in $5.1 trillion just there.

00:48:00.000 Without the tariffs, I mean, they also liked a thing called November 5th, November 6th, and November 7th.

00:48:06.000 That was a very good little period of time.

00:48:08.000 It's called the presidential election.

00:48:10.000 You know, you used to have one-day election.

00:48:12.000 Now you have it go over it.

00:48:13.000 But even if you just took that little period, because it was pretty obvious it was going to be a landslide.

00:48:18.000 And they like that, but they love the tariffs.

00:48:21.000 I had Texas Instruments come in the other day, big company, and he said, we're putting in $60 billion into new plants and new equipment, new everything.

00:48:30.000 Sir, you're going to keep the tariffs, aren't you?

00:48:32.000 Because if I ever took the tariffs off, and we are going to absolutely keep it.

00:48:36.000 And they're worried that somebody that, like this communist from New York, someday gets elected.

00:48:41.000 I can't believe that's happening.

00:48:42.000 That's a terrible thing for our country, by the way.

00:48:45.000 He's a communist.

00:48:47.000 We're going to go to a communistic set.

00:48:48.000 That's so bad for New York.

00:48:50.000 But the rest of the country is revolting against it.

00:48:52.000 But if somebody got elected, they're afraid that if this was taken off, well, we're going to guarantee it's never going to be taken off.

00:49:00.000 And again, we're taking in hundreds.

00:49:02.000 Think of this.

00:49:02.000 Hundreds of billions of dollars.

00:49:05.000 And they were all confused because they've never seen this before.

00:49:08.000 You know, it's always the other way.

00:49:09.000 We don't have enough money.

00:49:11.000 So much money is coming in at levels that nobody's ever seen.

00:49:15.000 But most importantly, we have factories being built, car plants being built, companies moving to our country like never before.

00:49:22.000 If you look at 15 trillion, and that's only in a few months, you know, I haven't been here that long.

00:49:28.000 Presidents, like the last one, was a disaster.

00:49:31.000 He's the worst president in the history of our country, by the way.

00:49:33.000 What he did on our border can never, ever be forgotten.

00:49:36.000 To me, that's the worst of all the things.

00:49:38.000 And he's done some terrible things, grossly incompetent.

00:49:41.000 Nobody knew it was him, because I don't think it was him.

00:49:43.000 I think it was whoever was controlling the Autopen.

00:49:46.000 But our country is doing great.

00:49:48.000 And those leaders and other leaders, I just left, as you know, a large group of the most highly respected people.

00:49:56.000 And that includes big countries.

00:49:59.000 When you look at Germany and France and Spain, although Spain didn't come through, but they will. 0.51

00:50:04.000 By the way, guaranteed they will.

00:50:05.000 That was the only country that sort of tried to hold back on putting up the money.

00:50:10.000 But just so you know, they said, it's unbelievable what's happened to the USA.

00:50:15.000 You were a dead country.

00:50:17.000 We didn't respect the country, the leader.

00:50:20.000 You were dead as a doornail.

00:50:24.000 One said to me, you went from being a dead country, you are right now the hottest country anywhere in the world.

00:50:31.000 The whole world is talking about the USA, and everybody wants a part of it, and they're pouring into our country. 1.00

00:50:37.000 And you're going to see those numbers.

00:50:38.000 Thank you for that question.

00:50:42.000 Private student loan debt in America totals over $300 billion.

00:51:36.000 Yeah, very headlines.

00:51:37.000 Thank you, Mr. President.

00:51:39.000 I have a question about trade.

00:51:40.000 Secretary Besant has said that he hopes tariff deals with major partners will be done by Labor Day.

00:51:46.000 So if some deals are not done by your July 9th deadline, will some countries' tariffs go back up or will they stay where they are?

00:51:53.000 Yeah, well, there are some countries that are used to ripping us off, to be honest with you.

00:51:57.000 And I don't want to name them, but you sort of can name them.

00:52:02.000 And they're so used to just, you know, getting, taking billions and billions of, look, we had a trade deficit of more than a trillion dollars.

00:52:11.000 Think of it, a trillion, a trade deficit.

00:52:14.000 That's because nobody cared.

00:52:15.000 Nobody, we cared a lot.

00:52:18.000 I took in hundreds of billions of dollars in tariff.

00:52:21.000 We had the greatest economy in history up until now.

00:52:23.000 I think we're going to blow it away.

00:52:25.000 But during my time, and especially prior to COVID, we had the greatest economy in the history of our country.

00:52:31.000 I think we're going to blow it away now based on the kind of numbers that we're seeing.

00:52:35.000 But some countries are very angry because they've been ripping us off for years.

00:52:40.000 They've been making billions and billions of dollars.

00:52:42.000 There was nobody to negotiate with.

00:52:44.000 They could do whatever they want.

00:52:45.000 They charge us tariffs, by the way, at numbers that we've never seen before.

00:52:49.000 And we ended up losing much more than a trillion dollars a year.

00:52:53.000 A trillion dollars a year on trade.

00:52:56.000 And now they're being met with a force that's far greater than them, and they don't like it.

00:53:02.000 So they're upset.

00:53:03.000 Because instead of making, you know, five billion dollars, they're going to break even.

00:53:09.000 Or they'll make a little bit.

00:53:10.000 I want to be nice.

00:53:10.000 They'll make a little bit.

00:53:11.000 Or we'll make a little bit.

00:53:13.000 It's a big difference.

00:53:14.000 Yeah, please go.

00:53:17.000 Red dress.

00:53:18.000 On the 2020 election, is there any more information on the special prosecutor?

00:53:23.000 So many Americans still have questions about the 2020 election.

00:53:26.000 And speaking of rogue judges, would you consider appointing somebody at DOJ maybe to investigate the judges that allowed for the political persecution of you, your family, and your supporters during the Biden administration?

00:53:37.000 I love you.

00:53:38.000 Who are you?

00:53:39.000 I'm Carroll from Lindell TV.

00:53:41.000 Well, that's a very nice question.

00:53:43.000 And it's not a setup.

00:53:45.000 I have no idea who you are, but I appreciate that question.

00:53:48.000 All I can say is we're not here for that.

00:53:50.000 I hope so.

00:53:51.000 I hope they're doing the thing because that election was rigged and stolen, and we can't allow that to happen.

00:53:57.000 You know, a lot of people tell me, sir, you just won the greatest election in the history of our country.

00:54:01.000 You won it numbers that won all seven swing states, won the popular vote, won everything.

00:54:08.000 Sir, go on with your life.

00:54:11.000 And many people say that, good people, friends of mine, then you have people that say that same thing, go on with your life, but you have to find out what happened because you can't let that happen again.

00:54:22.000 Look at what this lunatic did.

00:54:25.000 Look at what he did.

00:54:26.000 He opened our borders to people that were murderers.

00:54:29.000 11,888, to be exact, murderers.

00:54:33.000 And we've captured many of those murderers and we're bringing them back.

00:54:37.000 Some of them are so dangerous that we don't even want to bring them back.

00:54:40.000 We're afraid they're going to try and come back in.

00:54:42.000 But he allowed people to come into this country. 1.00

00:54:45.000 People from mental institutions, insane asylums, that's a mental institution on steroids.

00:54:51.000 People from mental institutions, gang members, drug dealers, people, oh, jails being emptied out into our country.

00:55:00.000 Venezuela emptied out almost its entire prison population into our country.

00:55:05.000 But I don't want to blame them.

00:55:07.000 Many countries have done that.

00:55:08.000 The Congo, you know, we have a great press conference coming up later.

00:55:13.000 And it's the Congo and Rwanda. 0.90

00:55:16.000 You know, they were fighting for years.

00:55:20.000 And it was machetes.

00:55:21.000 It was vicious.

00:55:22.000 It was as vicious people's heads being chopped off.

00:55:26.000 And I have a man who's very good in that part of the world, very smart, and put them together.

00:55:31.000 And we're signing a peace treaty today.

00:55:32.000 First time in many years they're going to have peace.

00:55:35.000 And it's a big deal.

00:55:37.000 You know, we talk about Russia, and we're going to work in that one. 0.64

00:55:40.000 President Putin called up and he said, I'd love to help you with Iran.

00:55:45.000 I said, do me a favor.

00:55:47.000 I'll handle Iran. 0.99

00:55:48.000 Help me with Russia.

00:55:49.000 We've got to get that one settled.

00:55:51.000 And I think something's going to happen there.

00:55:53.000 But we did some great work.

00:55:56.000 India and Pakistan, that was going to be maybe nuclear. 0.87

00:56:00.000 We did that.

00:56:00.000 We did a lot of work.

00:56:01.000 I don't know if there's ever been a precedent that's done much more.

00:56:05.000 Serbia, Kosovo, was going to go at it.

00:56:07.000 It's going to be a big war.

00:56:09.000 I said, you go at it.

00:56:10.000 There's no trade with the United States.

00:56:12.000 They said, well, maybe we won't go at it.

00:56:15.000 That's what happened with India and Pakistan. 1.00

00:56:18.000 I was negotiating with both of them, and I said to Scott, I said to Howard, cancel all deals with India and Pakistan. 1.00

00:56:26.000 They're not trading with us because they're in a war.

00:56:28.000 They called back, what do we do?

00:56:30.000 I said, look, you want to have trade with the United States.

00:56:34.000 It's great.

00:56:35.000 But you want to go and start using nuclear weapons on each other.

00:56:38.000 We're not going to allow that.

00:56:39.000 And they both agreed.

00:56:40.000 Both have great leaders.

00:56:42.000 They both agreed not to do it.

00:56:44.000 So we did a lot.

00:56:45.000 But I appreciate that question.

00:56:52.000 Thank you so much.

00:56:53.000 Thank you, Mr. President.

00:56:54.000 Thank you, Mr. President.

00:56:55.000 I was just speaking with Senator Ron Johnson on the One Big Beautiful bill, and he says he really wants to get to yes for you and get this accomplished.

00:57:03.000 He does.

00:57:03.000 He's a good man.

00:57:04.000 But he also said that he needs more time, and he is not certain that the July 4th deadline is performing.

00:57:08.000 Well, then he's not such a good man.

00:57:09.000 Because there's too much work to do.

00:57:10.000 He's a good man.

00:57:11.000 Ron Johnson's doing a good job.

00:57:13.000 He's very committed.

00:57:14.000 Every Republican senator is committed.

00:57:17.000 And, you know, you could have a couple of grandstanders, in all fairness.

00:57:21.000 You could have somebody else.

00:57:22.000 And it's very dangerous because our country would go from being the most successful country in the world to who knows what happens with a 68%. 0.54

00:57:30.000 Think of it, 68% tax increase.

00:57:32.000 That was given by the Democrats because they like high taxes.

00:57:36.000 I don't know what happened.

00:57:37.000 You know, all my life, I'd grow up and I'd watch politicians talking.

00:57:41.000 They'd say, oh, that's fun.

00:57:43.000 And they were always saying, we will cut your taxes.

00:57:45.000 We will cut your taxes.

00:57:46.000 I never heard it.

00:57:47.000 They say, we will raise your taxes.

00:57:50.000 And they elect people like this guy in New York that maybe has a chance, I find it hard to believe, but he maybe has a chance.

00:57:57.000 They want to raise your taxes.

00:57:58.000 So they want to see a 68% tax increase.

00:58:01.000 That's more money than anybody could afford.

00:58:03.000 You'd go into a depression if that ever happened.

00:58:06.000 So I think there's a lot of pressure to get that approved.

00:58:11.000 How important is the July 4th deadline to you?

00:58:15.000 It's important.

00:58:15.000 It's not the end all.

00:58:16.000 It's taking no longer, but we'd like to get it done by that time, if possible.

00:58:20.000 And look, we have a lot of very committed people, and they feel very strongly about a subject, subjects that you're not even thinking about, that are important to Republicans.

00:58:29.000 The problem We have is that it's a great bill.

00:58:33.000 It's a popular bill, but we'll get no Democrats only because they don't want to vote for Trump.

00:58:39.000 If that bill was their bill, oh, they would be so happy.

00:58:42.000 It's so great for our military, it's great for everything.

00:58:46.000 And they would normally vote, but because of their hatred of Trump, they have Trump derangement syndrome at levels never seen before.

00:58:54.000 And instead of voting for a tax cut, they're voting for a tax increase of 68%.

00:59:00.000 They're voting to destroy Social Security, destroy Medicare, and destroy Medicaid.

00:59:06.000 And we're voting to make them perfect and to make them better, make them stronger and better.

00:59:12.000 They're going to destroy Medicaid, and they're going to destroy Medicare, and Social Security will follow.

00:59:17.000 If you vote for the Democrats, you're dead on those three things.

00:59:24.000 Thank you, Mr. President.

00:59:24.000 On a related subject, many Democrats have said that they are not going to support crypto bills in Congress only because of you and your family's personal crypto ventures.

00:59:35.000 And these votes are in some cases needed to pass.

00:59:37.000 Are you open to the idea of pulling away from your personal crypto ventures just for the next few years if that helps get these crypto bills passed in the next few months?

00:59:46.000 Well, it's a very funny thing, crypto.

00:59:47.000 So I became a fan of crypto, and to me, it's an industry.

00:59:51.000 I view it as an industry, and I'm president.

00:59:53.000 And if we didn't have it, China would or somebody else would, but most likely China, China would love to.

00:59:58.000 And we've dominated that industry.

01:00:00.000 It's a big industry, by the way.

01:00:01.000 In fact, when the stock market went down recently, crypto and Bitcoin and all of that went down much less than anybody else as a group.

01:00:09.000 And we've created a very powerful industry, and that's much more important than anything that we invest in.

01:00:15.000 We invest in it, but really that was an industry that wasn't doing particularly well.

01:00:19.000 I got involved with it a couple of years ago and before this whole, before the second term.

01:00:25.000 I got involved before I decided to run.

01:00:28.000 I only decided to run because I saw what was happening and Biden was incompetent and the administration was crooked and incompetent.

01:00:35.000 And I was in Bitcoin then, not knowing if I was going to do it a third time.

01:00:41.000 So it's become amazing.

01:00:44.000 I mean, it's the jobs that it produces.

01:00:46.000 And I notice more and more you pay in Bitcoin.

01:00:48.000 I mean, people are saying it takes a lot of pressure off the dollar.

01:00:52.000 And it's a great thing for our country.

01:00:54.000 So I don't care about investing.

01:00:57.000 You know, I have kids and they invest in different things.

01:01:00.000 They do believe in it.

01:01:01.000 But I'm president.

01:01:03.000 And what I did do there is build an industry that's very important.

01:01:06.000 And you know, if we didn't have it, China would. 0.97

01:01:08.000 Okay.

01:01:08.000 Sir, Mr. President.

01:01:10.000 With the glasses, gentlemen.

01:01:12.000 Go ahead, please.

01:01:13.000 Go ahead.

01:01:14.000 Thank you, Mr. President.

01:01:15.000 So are you going to cut funds in the sanctuary states like, for instance, California that keep supporting illegal immigration and then these people work on a hard time?

01:01:25.000 And also, a foreign policy question.

01:01:28.000 They don't have a governor in California.

01:01:30.000 They have a man that wants to give away everything to people that nobody's seen before.

01:01:36.000 If we didn't go into Los Angeles with the military, which did a fantastic job, but if we didn't go into Los Angeles, bringing in the National Guard, I would have brought the military if it was necessary, because you have to.

01:01:48.000 We have the right to.

01:01:49.000 That was another thing upheld by the Supreme Court.

01:01:52.000 But if we didn't go in with the National Guard and be strong and tough, you wouldn't maybe have Los Angeles.

01:01:59.000 It would be like the rest of California, the rest of Los Angeles.

01:02:02.000 They lost 25,000 houses in a fire.

01:02:05.000 They should have lost none.

01:02:07.000 You know, I sent the water down.

01:02:08.000 I had to break into their water supply because they just refused to do it.

01:02:12.000 They're crazy.

01:02:13.000 There's something wrong with them.

01:02:14.000 They have plenty of water.

01:02:15.000 They don't have droughts or anything.

01:02:17.000 We let it come down from the Pacific Northwest.

01:02:20.000 They routed all the water out into the Pacific Ocean for environmental reasons, okay?

01:02:25.000 And now you have 25,000 houses, none of which would have burned down if you had the water.

01:02:30.000 They didn't have water.

01:02:30.000 They didn't have water for the fire pumps.

01:02:32.000 They didn't have water in the sprinkler systems that people put in.

01:02:35.000 So the answer is we're going to work with governors.

01:02:38.000 We're going to work with radical left Democrats and Democrats.

01:02:42.000 And we're going to make it good for everybody.

01:02:44.000 We'll have to stop the crime in those.

01:02:46.000 In the case of the cities, I think I can say just about all cities with heavy crime are run by Democrats.

01:02:56.000 Go ahead.

01:02:59.000 Eleven lies.

01:03:00.000 Yeah, with the glasses.

01:03:01.000 I'm with Iran. 0.91

01:03:04.000 No, no, the man behind you, yeah, please.

01:03:06.000 President Trump, Anthony Mashak from MTV Lebanon.

01:03:09.000 I want to ask you regarding the threats posed by Iran's allies and proxies operating in the U.S. They were threatening your life. 0.84

01:03:15.000 So what do you say about that?

01:03:17.000 And regarding Lebanon, because Hezbollah is as well part of Iran's allies, is there any time frame in Lebanon regarding disarming Hezbollah in Lebanon?

01:03:27.000 Yeah, Lebanon is a great place with brilliant people.

01:03:31.000 You know, it was known for the professors and doctors and had an incredible history.

01:03:35.000 And hopefully we can bring it back again.

01:03:37.000 I just appointed a friend of mine who's Lebanese.

01:03:40.000 And I didn't know he was Lebanese.

01:03:42.000 I've known him for 20 years.

01:03:43.000 Very, very successful man.

01:03:45.000 And I just appointed him.

01:03:48.000 And I said, why would you want that?

01:03:50.000 He says, because I was born there, I was raised there.

01:03:52.000 I love it.

01:03:53.000 I love it so much.

01:03:54.000 I said, you know, it's very dangerous going to Lebanon as ambassador.

01:03:58.000 And he said, that's what they say, but I don't care about danger.

01:04:02.000 I mean, this is a guy that is just a very big business guy.

01:04:05.000 He wants to give up his whole life to go to Lebanon because he believes in it so much.

01:04:10.000 We're with Lebanon all the way.

01:04:11.000 We'll try and straighten it out.

01:04:13.000 They're threatening your life as well.

01:04:14.000 So what accident threatened?

01:04:16.000 They threaten my life, yeah.

01:04:16.000 They have threatened.

01:04:17.000 I get that throbbing feeling every once in a while.

01:04:20.000 Get that throbbing feeling.

01:04:21.000 But you know what?

01:04:22.000 That's okay.

01:04:24.000 It is a dangerous business.

01:04:26.000 What I do is a dangerous business.

01:04:27.000 You know, I tell the story of the car companies and different people in different professions.

01:04:32.000 You have race car drivers, as an example.

01:04:35.000 One-tenth of one percent die.

01:04:38.000 Bull riders, one-tenth of one percent.

01:04:42.000 That's not a lot, but it's people die.

01:04:45.000 When you're president, it's about 5%.

01:04:48.000 If somebody would have told me that, maybe I wouldn't have run.

01:04:50.000 Okay?

01:04:53.000 This is a very dangerous profession.

01:05:01.000 By the way, so many questions.

01:05:02.000 Should we keep this going, Pam?

01:05:08.000 This is the opposite of Biden.

01:05:10.000 Biden would take a half a question and he'd leave without answering it.

01:05:15.000 On Iran. 0.60

01:05:17.000 You tell me when it gets boring.

01:05:20.000 On Iran. 0.60

01:05:23.000 On Iran, if Iran No, I'm not from Iran.

01:05:25.000 I'm from the UK.

01:05:26.000 But if the intelligence reports conclude that Iran can enrich uranium to a level that concerns you, would you consider bombing the country again?

01:05:37.000 Without question, absolutely.

01:05:39.000 Have you had any conversations?

01:05:40.000 It has to be unbelievable.

01:05:43.000 But, you know, our incredible flyers and our These guys are unbelievable.

01:05:50.000 Think from 52,000 feet, they hit the equivalent of a refrigerator door.

01:05:54.000 They actually hit it right in the center, so it's much smaller than that.

01:05:58.000 And just bomb after bomb going deeper, deeper, blowing up.

01:06:02.000 Incredible, incredible thing.

01:06:03.000 I don't know if you heard the general, he was very impressive, Raisin Kane.

01:06:06.000 You know, he's the one that beat ISIS for me.

01:06:10.000 And he did it in a matter of weeks.

01:06:12.000 And I was told it was going to take four or five years.

01:06:15.000 And when I got this job, I always said, if I get this job, I'm going to put that guy as the head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

01:06:21.000 And Dan Kane.

01:06:22.000 And he, when I heard his name was Raisin, his nickname is Raisin, Raisin Kane, I said, you've got to be kidding.

01:06:27.000 So I liked him right from the beginning.

01:06:29.000 But he knocked out ISIS in a time that nobody ever thought possible.

01:06:33.000 And when this attack was completed and so successful, I said, now I know how you knocked out ISIS so quickly.

01:06:40.000 But we have the best people, we have the best equipment in the world.

01:06:43.000 And I rebuilt the military during my four years during my other term.

01:06:48.000 We have the best equipment in the world.

01:06:49.000 The problem is we gave away, you know, a lot of it, but small relatively speaking.

01:06:54.000 We gave a lot of it away to Afghanistan, shouldn't have happened.

01:06:57.000 That just shows how incompetent they were.

01:06:59.000 They gave all that equipment away.

01:07:00.000 Billions and billions of dollars worth shouldn't have happened.

01:07:03.000 But that was small compared to what we have.

01:07:05.000 Now we have a great military with great people.

01:07:08.000 Okay.

01:07:11.000 You know, one of the biggest lies being sold to American people right now is that you're in control of your money, especially when it comes to crypto.

01:07:17.000 But the truth, most of these so-called crypto platforms are just banks in disguise, fully capable of freezing your assets the moment some bureaucrat makes a phone call.

01:07:26.000 That is not what Bitcoin was built for.

01:07:28.000 That's why I use Bitcoin.com as a major transaction.

01:07:32.000 They offer a self-custodial wallet, which means you hold the keys.

01:07:37.000 You control your assets.

01:07:38.000 No one can touch your crypto.

01:07:39.000 Not the IRS.

01:07:40.000 You're not a rogue bank.

01:07:42.000 Not some three-letter agency that thinks it knows better than you do.

01:07:45.000 This is how it was intended by the original creators of Bitcoin.

01:07:48.000 It's peer-to-peer money, free from centralized control, free from surveillance, and free from arbitrary seizure.

01:07:54.000 So if you're serious about financial sovereignty, go to Bitcoin.com, set up your wallet, take back control, because if you don't hold the keys, you don't own your money.

01:08:02.000 Bitcoin.com, freedom starts here.

01:08:07.000 Mr. President, congratulations.

01:08:08.000 A couple of very different questions.

01:08:10.000 One is Rwanda in 1994.

01:08:12.000 As you grew up in New York, we all knew how horrific those attacks were.

01:08:16.000 Congratulations on the treaty.

01:08:18.000 There are talks that perhaps We're going to have a signing with Rwanda and the Congo.

01:08:25.000 I have a follow up.

01:08:26.000 So I'm a little out of my league in that one because I didn't know too much about it.

01:08:30.000 I knew one thing.

01:08:31.000 They were going at it for many years with machetes.

01:08:35.000 It is one of the worst, one of the worst wars that anyone's ever seen.

01:08:40.000 And I just happened to have somebody that was able to get it settled.

01:08:43.000 I mean, just a brilliant person who is very comfortable in that part of the world.

01:08:48.000 It's a very dangerous part of the world.

01:08:49.000 I said, are you uncomfortable there?

01:08:51.000 People are being killed.

01:08:52.000 School children are being raided and killed.

01:08:56.000 And I don't even want to say how, but as viciously as I've ever heard, are you uncomfortable?

01:09:01.000 No, that's the part of the world that I know.

01:09:03.000 Very comfortable.

01:09:04.000 Was able to get them together and sell it.

01:09:06.000 And not only that, we're getting for the United States a lot of the mineral rights from the Congo as part of it.

01:09:12.000 They're so honored to be here.

01:09:14.000 They never thought they'd be coming.

01:09:15.000 Look, this is a very tough part of the world.

01:09:18.000 They never thought, they were just telling me they never thought they'd ever be coming to the White House.

01:09:23.000 And they're so honored.

01:09:24.000 And so we're going to give them a great big reception.

01:09:26.000 But that's after many years of fighting.

01:09:27.000 It's a great thing.

01:09:28.000 That's at 3 o'clock, I believe.

01:09:34.000 The Press: Sir, are you concerned at all about secret nuclear sites in Iran?

01:09:37.000 Are you talking about maybe just Yes, that there might be some that's not operating earth.

01:09:42.000 Can I tell you?

01:09:43.000 They're exhausted.

01:09:45.000 And Israel's exhausted too.

01:09:48.000 And I dealt with both of them.

01:09:50.000 And they both wanted it settled, both of them.

01:09:54.000 And we did a great job.

01:09:55.000 But they're exhausted.

01:09:56.000 The last thing they're thinking about right now is nuclear.

01:09:59.000 You know what they're thinking of?

01:10:00.000 They're thinking about tomorrow, trying to live.

01:10:03.000 It's such a mess.

01:10:04.000 It's such a mess.

01:10:05.000 The place was bombed to hell.

01:10:07.000 And no, I'm not worried about it at all.

01:10:11.000 And I'm putting out a little statement.

01:10:13.000 I'm going to respond to the Ayatollah's statement yesterday that we won the war.

01:10:20.000 We won the war.

01:10:22.000 And I said, look, you're a man of great faith, a man who's highly respected in this country.

01:10:28.000 You have to tell the truth.

01:10:29.000 You got beat to hell.

01:10:30.000 And Israel was beat up too.

01:10:33.000 They were both beat up.

01:10:34.000 And it was a great time to end it.

01:10:36.000 It was quick.

01:10:38.000 They got the hate out.

01:10:39.000 A lot of hate, a lot of hate.

01:10:41.000 It would be great if they didn't have that hate.

01:10:43.000 The last thing they're thinking about is nuclear weapons right now.

01:10:48.000 Please.

01:10:53.000 Thank you, Mr. President.

01:10:54.000 Iris Towell with NTD Researcher Media with the Alpaq Times.

01:10:56.000 Thank you so much for doing this.

01:10:58.000 It's very refreshing for all of us here in this room.

01:11:01.000 It's refreshing.

01:11:02.000 Very refreshing, yes.

01:11:03.000 We have this and you know, I understand what you mean.

01:11:07.000 So thank you so much for coming out here.

01:11:09.000 Other than Caroline's done a great show. 0.66

01:11:10.000 Yes, sir.

01:11:11.000 You're referring to the Pest administration, not to Caroline.

01:11:15.000 Yes.

01:11:15.000 Back to the ruling today, if you don't mind.

01:11:17.000 So you have always talked about winning for the American people.

01:11:21.000 How do you think today's ruling will enable you to further deliver for American families and workers across the country, not only when it comes to immigration, but also when it comes to trade, Energy, what actions are most eager to move forward?

01:11:32.000 Well, I think taking power away from these absolutely crazy radical left judges is a tremendous.

01:11:40.000 This is such a big day.

01:11:42.000 This is such a big day.

01:11:43.000 It's like it's sort of sad because we're doing the signing at 3 o'clock, and this may very well dominate the signing of a big war that was going on and really affecting the continent of, think of it, the entire continent of Africa was being affected.

01:11:59.000 We're settling that war today, and this will probably be your headline.

01:12:03.000 But this is a very big moment, and it gives power back to people that should have it, including Congress, including the presidency.

01:12:13.000 And it only takes bad power away from judges.

01:12:17.000 It takes bad power, sick power, and unfair power.

01:12:21.000 And it's really going to be, this is a very monumental decision.

01:12:24.000 Yeah, please.

01:12:25.000 Thank you very much.

01:12:26.000 on July 9th.

01:12:28.000 Is that July 9th date set for tariffs to snap back?

01:12:32.000 Or could there be a...

01:12:35.000 We could extend it.

01:12:36.000 We could make it shorter.

01:12:37.000 I'd like to make it shorter.

01:12:38.000 I'd like to just send letters out to everybody.

01:12:40.000 Congratulations, you're paying 25%.

01:12:45.000 He's a much nicer person than I am.

01:12:50.000 So how do you finish it up?

01:12:51.000 Who were you considering for the Federal Reserve then?

01:12:54.000 And are you speeding up that process, I see, Secretary?

01:12:56.000 Oh, he's terrible.

01:12:57.000 He's terrible.

01:12:58.000 I mean, I have a list of things.

01:12:59.000 We're like 38 on the list.

01:13:01.000 We pay, you know, Cameroon and different places are paying the same as us.

01:13:08.000 Because, you know, you have somebody sets a rate at 4% or 4.5%.

01:13:12.000 It's hard to go out and say we should be paying 1% when you have your so-called experts doing that.

01:13:18.000 And the sad part is, you know, as per the question that you asked about tariffs, we've had the tariffs, and we have less inflation than we had before.

01:13:28.000 What we have is a hell of a lot more money, a hell of a lot more income, and we shouldn't be paying a rate like that.

01:13:34.000 In other words, when we pay a rate, I'll tell you, each point is the equivalent of $300 billion.

01:13:41.000 So if we had it down three points, because I think we should be at one, you have Switzerland is at 0.25, in other words, 25% of 1%.

01:13:52.000 And they're the number one right now.

01:13:54.000 But we should be the number one.

01:13:56.000 And soon you're going to have, I believe, I think, you're going to have where the people will pay, like we had a few years ago, where you put up money, you loan money, and I mean, you actually, instead of paying, you get paid.

01:14:10.000 I love that.

01:14:11.000 I don't know if it's any good, but I love it, where you put up money and you get paid.

01:14:16.000 But we should be in a category.

01:14:18.000 So we should be at the top of the list, not toward the bottom of the list.

01:14:21.000 But we have a man who's not a smart man, and he probably has Trump derangement syndrome.

01:14:27.000 And he's just not a smart person.

01:14:29.000 What he's doing, though, is hurting us for years to come.

01:14:31.000 Because if we borrow money at two points higher than we should be paying, that's $600 million.

01:14:40.000 Wouldn't you say those numbers are about right, Scott?

01:14:42.000 So it's two points would be about $600, actually more than that, but about $600 million.

01:14:47.000 All because the guy doesn't want to lower the rates.

01:14:49.000 He's doing the service, a very disservice.

01:14:51.000 And then he goes up and talks about, I'd like to see costs come down.

01:14:54.000 You know, he gets up and he does his little thing for five minutes, then he goes out and he goes back to the beach.

01:14:58.000 He goes, I'd like to see costs come down.

01:15:00.000 Well, he could lower the interest costs by $900 billion a year.

01:15:05.000 All he has to do is lower rates.

01:15:07.000 And everybody's saying, I was watching some of the business shows today, and they're saying, you know, Trump's right.

01:15:12.000 He should really be cutting.

01:15:14.000 The country's doing well.

01:15:15.000 We have no inflation.

01:15:17.000 Now, despite him, we're doing great.

01:15:19.000 But if we got the rates down, we would be a rocket ship.

01:15:23.000 So I think that'll be it.

01:15:24.000 And I just want to thank everybody.

01:15:26.000 This is a really big day.

01:15:29.000 We've had a big week.

01:15:30.000 You know, we've had a big week.

01:15:31.000 We've had a lot of victories this week.

01:15:33.000 NATO was a tremendous victory.

01:15:36.000 The war was a tremendous victory.

01:15:38.000 Look, we were talking about this for 30 years, about Iran being nuclear.

01:15:43.000 And all I said is it will not be nuclear, and it's not going to be nuclear.

01:15:48.000 And, you know, I want to give credit to a lot of people, most importantly to our great military.

01:15:53.000 Boy, they put out that fire.

01:15:55.000 Once that happened, once those bombs got dropped, that war was over.

01:15:59.000 That war was over.

01:16:00.000 But I just want to compliment them, incredible the general and all of his generals.

01:16:05.000 Pete Hegseth was great.

01:16:08.000 And now I want to compliment Pam.

01:16:11.000 A lot of genius went into this.

01:16:13.000 You know, people, if you don't say it exactly right, if the Supreme Court doesn't get it because it's incorrectly spoken about, and that happens.

01:16:21.000 A lot of cases are lost because they don't say the right words.

01:16:25.000 But I want to correct, she's going to go down as a great Attorney General. 1.00

01:16:29.000 I may change my mind about that.

01:16:30.000 I don't know.

01:16:31.000 Maybe someday I'll have call and say, I was only kidding.

01:16:34.000 She's going to go down as a great attorney general. 1.00

01:16:36.000 This was a tremendous win, and we've had tremendous wins, but this was a tremendous win today.

01:16:40.000 So I just want to congratulate you and Todd and your whole staff.

01:16:45.000 Very brilliant people.

01:16:46.000 And we can't forget John Sauer.

01:16:47.000 That's right.

01:16:48.000 Who is with, there's a medical emergency within his family, so he's taken care of that.

01:16:53.000 And we said absolutely.

01:16:54.000 So I just want to thank everybody very much.

01:16:56.000 Thank you.

01:16:58.000 Okay, everybody.

01:16:59.000 By the way, President Donald Trump was a 10 in that press conference.

01:17:03.000 Watching him for over a decade, he was in total control.

01:17:06.000 He was calm.

01:17:07.000 He was collected.

01:17:09.000 He was focused.

01:17:10.000 He was intense where necessary.

01:17:13.000 And one of my favorite moments, we have to replay this.

01:17:15.000 I think we have the tape.

01:17:16.000 It's 568 where he says, you want to keep going?

01:17:18.000 President Donald Trump is a man for the moment.

01:17:20.000 And it is a huge contrast versus Trump won.

01:17:24.000 Trump won, and he says he was the hunted, now he is the hunter.

01:17:28.000 He was constantly under attack in Trump won.

01:17:30.000 He got Jim Akasada trying to get clicks.

01:17:33.000 Do you know how much better that briefing room is now that we got Acosta out of there?

01:17:37.000 I think he's out of there.

01:17:39.000 And you got a couple friendlies in the room, and President Trump has such a poise and stoicism and just command of the audience.

01:17:47.000 Let's play cut 568.

01:17:49.000 Good question.

01:17:50.000 Should we keep this going, Pam?

01:17:51.000 Yes.

01:17:56.000 This is the opposite of Biden.

01:17:58.000 Biden would take a half a question and he'd leave without answering it.

01:18:04.000 You tell me when it gets boring.

01:18:08.000 And President Donald Trump was there for over an hour, and he was funny.

01:18:11.000 He said, you know, 5% of presidents get killed, and you got bull riders, and you got people that it's 0.01%.

01:18:17.000 He enjoys being president.

01:18:20.000 And that is such a difference than what we saw in Trump 1.

01:18:22.000 I'm sure he enjoyed being president in Trump 1, but he was so relentlessly under attack.

01:18:27.000 And we thought the world was falling apart when we did not hold on to the White House in Trump 1.

01:18:34.000 And now it's remarkable what we're seeing.

01:18:38.000 Thanks so much for listening, everybody.

01:18:42.000 Thanks so much for listening, and God bless.
