it but first I want to talk about 0:14 President Trump’s historic and incredible speech last night the American people and the entire world 0:20 watched president Trump powerfully lay out how he’s renewing the American dream in a record-breaking joint address to 0:27 Congress and Americans loved what they heard heard according to a CBS yugov 0:32 survey an overwhelming 76% of those watching

exceeding them according to brand new polling from The Daily Mail 0:52 president Trump has never been more popular as his approval ratings are reaching historic highs more Americans 0:59 believe believe America is headed in the right direction than the wrong direction everyday Americans love this President 1:06 because he tells it like it is no matter what and he did that last night 1:11 president Trump level set with the American people on the economy and exposed how badly Joe Biden screwed it 1:17 up by causing the worst inflation crisis in four decades president Trump was 1:23 honest about where we are while making clear that help is on the way as the 1:28 president declared last night he will make America affordable again last night 1:34 you also saw who motivates the president to work so hard everyday Americans who 1:40 president Trump shined a spotlight on last night in his speech from Mark Fogle who president Trump was finally able to 1:47 reunite with his family and his beautiful 95-year-old mother after being detained in Russia to pton McNab whose 1:55 heart-wrenching story motivated president Trump to end men in women’s sports 2:00 and to Allison and Lauren Phillips the mother and daugh and sister of lakan Riley who president Trump honored by 2:07 signing the lake and Riley act to ensure her name will live on forever in other amazing and surprised 2:14 moments president Trump H honored the life of Joselyn nungay who was brutally murdered by illegal alien gang members 2:21 she he ensured Joselyn will never be forgotten by renaming a National Wildlife Refuge in her home state of 2:27 Texas to honor her life and in one of the greatest surprise moments of the night DJ Daniel an incredible 2:34 13-year-old boy who is beating brain cancer saw his dreams fulfilled by President Trump when he was made an 2:41 honorary secret service agent and finally after nearly four years 2:46 president Trump delivered Justice for the families of the 13 American Heroes who were killed at abig gate in the 2:52 Biden botched Afghanistan withdrawal which was one of the worst humiliations in the history of our country president 3:00 Trump announced that we have detained Muhammad Sharif fola the monster who was responsible for that horrific attack and 3:07 he was delivered to dullas Airfield earlier this morning on his first day in 3:12 office president Trump’s National Security team across the federal government prioritized intelligence 3:19 gathering to locate this evil individual president Trump’s team shared 3:24 intelligence with regional Partners such as Pakistan who helped identify this monster in the Borderland area late last 3:31 month Muhammad confessed to his crimes related to abig gate and other attacks 3:36 in Russia and Iran as well to the pakistanis and US law enforcement officers traveled to Pakistan over the 3:43 weekend where he again confessed his crimes to the FBI as president Trump said last night 3:49 this killer will now face the Swift sword of American Justice for these atrocities right here on United States 3:56 soil Joe Biden was responsible for this botched withdrawal and he had three years to find this evil terrorist and he 4:03 didn’t even try to get the job done but president TR Trump campaigned on behalf of and grew very close to the gold star 4:10 families he promised them accountability and last night he kept his promise he 4:16 spoke to those gold star families yesterday ahead of his speech in an incredibly heartwarming call to share 4:22 this incredible news and as president Trump asked in his speech last night how 4:27 could anyone possibly be opposed to any of this action that he is taking well 4:33 apparently the modern-day Democrat Party could the behavior of Democrats last 4:38 night was completely disgraceful and demonstrated how severely out of touch 4:44 they are with the American public it was the most shameful moment in the history 4:49 of presidential addresses in that beautiful chamber and what was supposed to be a unifying moment for our country 4:56 Democrat members of Congress instead screamed at the president of the United States who was just overwhelmingly 5:02 reelected by their constituents walked out of the chamber and worst of all they disrespected the American people 5:09 Democrats didn’t stand to keep men out of women’s sports they couldn’t even clap for a girl who got her head smashed 5:16 in by a man on a volleyball court Democrats didn’t stand for an innocent and beautiful child who is surviving 5:22 brain cancer they opposed eliminating taxes on tips in Social Security they 5:28 didn’t stand in favor of cutting taxes for hardworking Americans they couldn’t even clap for two mothers whose 5:34 daughters were killed by illegal aliens one of the only things that could get Democrats off their feet last night was 5:40 cheering for Ukraine not for America last night was a very clarifying moment 5:46 for our country the Democrats exposed themselves as the party of insanity and hate the party that wants to put America 5:54 last they’ve allowed their Trump derangement syndrome to stop them from celebrating America Amica and our people 6:01 and we will not allow them to forget that and it’s not just the Democrat Party the mainstream media still doesn’t 6:08 get it last night msnbc’s Nicole Wallace disgustingly looped in a 13-year-old boy 6:14 with brain cancer into an attack on the president over January 6th in CNN’s 6:20 first Chiron out of the speech called it divisive president Trump wasn’t divisive 6:25 the Democrats were and CNN was proven Wrong by their own viewers 69% of whom 6:31 in a posts speech poll said they had a positive reaction to the president’s 6:36 speech it’s sad and frankly pathetic that Democrats and liberals in the Legacy Media continue to allow their 6:42 hatred for the president to override their love for our country but nevertheless the president will continue 6:49 to unify this nation through policies that are grounded in common sense and that uplift all 6:55 Americans we have a individual in our new media seat today Margaret Mary maret olahan who is the daily wire’s first 7:01 ever White House correspondent congratulation Mary Margaret uh the daily wire was founded 10 years ago by 7:07 Ben shipiro the daily wire now has over 1 million paid subscribers a monthly Network reach of 138 million and has 7:15 evolved into a leading conservative multimedia giant they are now the fifth largest podcast Network in the world and 7:21 home to some of the top ranked shows with that I will take your questions and Mary Margaret why don’t you kick us off 7:27 thank you so much Caroline it’s good to be here thanks I had two questions if that’s okay the first on last night and the second on Maine uh you talked about 7:35 behavior from Democrat lawmakers a lot of disruptions and I just wanted to kind of go back to that um we saw Democrat 7:42 lawmakers not stand for L and Riley for pton McNab for the son of a slain police 7:47 officer and 13-year-old cancer survivor what are the Optics of that nationally just in terms of not just the people who 7:53 were in the room last night but Across the Nation and also was President Trump expecting this type of behavor when he 8:00 was crafting his speech so I gave a quote to one of the media outlets in this room yesterday that Democrats 8:05 behaving like children would be the least surprising thing of the night um and unfortunately that quote did turn 8:10 out to be true I think the president and everyone frankly was surprised by the Democrats refusing to stand for um not 8:18 the president’s policies because frankly we expected that but for the everyday Americans who president Trump was 8:23 shining light on their stories Mark Fogle for instance an American uh school teacher who was detained by the Russians 8:31 president Trump uh freed him if Joe Biden had done that they all would have been on their feet but because of it 8:37 what came from president Trump they weren’t so we think it’s very sad um but we’re very proud of the president today 8:42 and the American people are the the people that this President cares about most and the reviews are in and everybody loved his speech thank you and 8:48 then on Maine uh we know that the governor of Maine has really pushed back against the president’s executive order 8:53 saying the boys should not be in girl Sports uh I spoke with a lawmaker from Maine this morning who told me she’ been 8:59 censured by state lawmakers for calling a man a man and speaking up on this what is the next move for the White House in 9:05 this battle to protect the Integrity of women’s sports yeah well the Department of Education has sued the state of Maine 9:10 as you know there’s ongoing litigation uh the president has made a commitment to ensure that states are being held 9:16 accountable if they continue to allow men in women sports which he believes is um an egregious violation of taxpayer 9:22 dollars um and so that Fight Continues and the president won’t back down again this is a common sense policy 80% of the 9:29 American people including more than 60% of Democrats do not want men in women’s sports um so the president will will 9:36 stand by this commitment thank you Gabe good to see you in here good to see you Caroline um a couple questions one can 9:43 you confirm that the president hell talks with the big three automakers today speaking about potentially delaying tariffs I can confirm and I’m 9:50 glad that you asked because the president sent me out here with a statement directly from him on this I saw it was reported earlier today by 9:56 Bloomberg News um and he wanted me to share this with all of you we spoke with the big three auto dealers we are going 10:03 to give a one-month exemption on any Autos coming through usmca reciprocal tariffs will still go 10:10 into effect on April 2nd but at the request of the companies associated with 10:15 usmca the president is giving them an exemption for one month so they are not at an economic disadvantage um so the 10:22 three companies that he spoke to our stellantis Ford and General Motors they requested the call they made the ask and 10:28 the president uh is happy to do it it’s a one- Monon exemption and the president just posted on social media that he had 10:33 spoken with prime minister Trudeau he says he’s not satisfied with what the Prime Minister has said when it comes to 10:39 fenel but less than 1% as you know less than 1% of the fenel Seas last year was 10:44 in the northern border what else does candidate need to do uh well the president did just put out a statement 10:50 on his call with uh the governor Justin Trudeau as he calls him of Canada um and 10:55 he said uh that he was not pleased as you said he said it’s not good enough he told uh prime minister Justin Trudeau 11:02 that directly um the call ended in a a somewhat friend friendly manner as the president said but um he’s not going to 11:08 stop standing up for the American people and to answer your question directly when it comes to fentanyl U for the last 11:13 four years unfortunately our neighbors to the North and the South Canada and Mexico respectively have allowed America 11:20 to be a Dumping Ground not just for illegal aliens but for illegal poisonous deadly fentanyl which is now the number 11:27 one killer of young people in this country aged 18 to 34 um through the 11:33 northern border in Canada uh in FIS last fiscal year alone there was enough 11:38 fentanyl Seas to kill 4.8 billion people and that number is up uh 2, and uh 50% 11:47 from 2023 the year before so there’s been more than a 2,000% increase in a legal fentanyl seizure at the northern 11:53 border why because Canada is allowing that fentanyl to come to the United States the president sees these numbers 11:59 he thinks about the lives that are lost and everybody in this room I’m sure everybody watching at home everybody 12:04 across the country knows someone in our Lives who has been killed at the hands of this deadly poison there needs to be 12:10 repercussions for that the president feels very strongly about it respectfully it’s just 43 pounds that were found last year that’s less than a 12:16 car that’s less than a carry-on suitcase is that a lot of fenel compared to say Mexico the vast majority of the fenel is 12:24 brought in through Mexico not Canada so what else does Canada need to do well I just told you uh last year alone there 12:31 was uh a 2,000% increase in illegal fentanyl you’re asking me you’re asking 12:37 me for what the president’s justification is for these tariffs it’s not up to you you’re not the president Gabe uh and frankly I think it’s a 12:43 little bit disrespectful to the families in this country who have lost loved ones at the hands of this deadly poison if 12:49 you talk to them and this president has they are grateful that they finally have a president who is standing up to both 12:55 Canada and Mexico and most importantly to China as well um the president added an additional 10% uh tariff on China 13:02 because this deadly poison is being produced in that country it’s being distributed through our neighbors and 13:08 there needs to be consequences for that period Peter thank you Caroline if the US has a long-standing policy that uh we 13:16 do not negotiate with terrorists then why is the US now negotiating directly and for the first time ever with homas 13:24 uh well when it comes to the negotiations that you’re referring to first of all the special Envoy who’s engaged in those negotiations um does 13:31 have the authority to talk to anyone um Israel was consulted on this matter um 13:36 and look dialogue and talking uh to people around the world to do what’s in the best interest of the American people 13:43 um is something that the president has proven is what he believes is is uh good faith effort to do what’s right for the 13:49 American people is it just about the hostages or are they also talking about the president’s plan to take over go 13:56 these are ongoing talks and discussions I not going to detail them here there are American lives at stake I would 14:02 defer you to the Department of State uh for further details but I’m not going to get into those talks here at this Podium 14:07 we know that some officials here were mythed that zilinsky showed up last week without a suit for his meeting in the 14:13 Oval Office but Elon Musk never wears a suit he did last night so what is the 14:18 dress code well Elon Musk wore a suit last night I’m sure you saw it was he 14:23 spooked by uh zsky getting kicked out no I don’t think so I’m just pointing out that he 14:30 did wear a suit last night um and I think U the president liked that very much uh and he looked great speaking of 14:37 the president he just passed me a note uh while I’m standing here he wanted me to hold this up this is the poll that I 14:42 cited the CBS yugov poll that shows that 76% of those who watched the president’s 14:49 speech last night approved of his speech and so it goes to my earlier point that I made in my monologue about um how 14:56 incredibly sad it is that we have a modern day Democrat Party who is so severely out of touch with the American 15:03 public uh this is a great poll the ultimate poll though came on November 5th when the president won by an 15:08 overwhelming margin that he spoke about last night Democrats weren’t happy to hear that either WEA Thank You Caroline 15:14 back on teror last night president Trump said there will be a little disturbance but we’re okay with that can you put a 15:21 dollar figure amount on how much the average American family should expect to 15:26 pay as this disturbance and why should Americans be okay with that when so many are already struggling to pay the bills 15:33 well first of all last night the president uh told the truth and he was realistic and he level set with the 15:39 American people and I think frankly it’s very refreshing and everybody in this room should be very grateful that we 15:45 have a president who tells the truth about the reality of the economic situation that we are in unlike the 15:51 previous president who lied to everybody’s faces saying inflation was transitory saying it was under control 15:57 saying that the Border was Secure when none of that was true so the president is being frank and honest and the 16:02 American people elected this President um to have Monumental reform and change including rebuilding our manufacturing 16:10 base in this country standing up to foreign Nations who have been ripping off our country for decades U and that 16:16 requires a little bit of disruption that requires a lot of effort and work that this President is focused on doing with 16:23 that said as the president said last night his administration is wholeheartedly committed of course to 16:28 ending the inflation nightmare caused by the Biden Administration look at the deregulation efforts uh look at the 16:33 president’s push last night in his speech for Congress to pass tax cuts to end taxes on Social Security and 16:40 overtime pay for hardworking Americans end taxes on tips we need Congress to get that done because that’s going to 16:46 put more money back into the pockets of the American people and I didn’t even mention energy look at the president’s 16:51 uh approach and focus on unleashing the might of our energy industry we know that’s the number one driver of 16:57 inflation he’s been slashing back a lot of the burdensome regulation from the previous administration to unleash our 17:03 energy industry here at home which will drive down costs he said he is committed to making America affordable again he 17:09 did it in his first term and Americans can trust him to do it again president Trump has made clear Caroline that he 17:14 loves terrorists but the stock market does not how does he factor that into his decision making well the president 17:20 does love tariffs he said it’s one of his favorite words of the English dictionary uh and he believes in tariffs 17:26 because they’ll ultimately make America Rich again they’re going to raise revenue they’re going to help us pay down our debt most importantly they’re 17:32 going to bring American jobs here back home so uh I think for folks on Wall Street who may be concerned look at what 17:37 this President did for you in his first term Wall Street boomed Stock Market boomed uh the president expects that to 17:43 happen again but most importantly Main Street is going to boom and that’s why the president has this whole of 17:48 government economic approach which includes tax cuts tariffs regulation Cuts in an energy industry that will 17:55 bring down costs for American consumers sure Monica thank you than Caroline um you mentioned not one Democrat Senator 18:02 voted to protect women’s sports from males not one Democrat Congressman or congresswoman stood to applaud or 18:09 support protecting women’s spaces and sports at the president’s joint session to Congress last night as you 18:14 articulately mentioned at the beginning so I’m wondering what message is that sending to not only young women who are 18:20 competing in these Sports across the country but also to the parents of these young girls yeah I think the message 18:26 that Americans should take away from last night is that they have a president in the Oval Office who is committed to 18:32 doing what’s right for them especially women and girls across the country and I think it’s very ironic thank you for 18:37 bringing up the point about women that Democrat women were wearing pink to support our Fe fellow females uh yet 18:44 they couldn’t stand again for a young woman who was uh almost killed uh and severely injured by a man on the 18:51 volleyball court um they couldn’t stand for the mothers of two beautiful young women whose lives were taken tragically 18:58 at the hands of illegal people so um you can’t say you’re the party of women and then support men and women sports and 19:04 not stand up for basic Law and Order and immigration uh reform that will protect 19:10 women in this country that’s what president Trump is doing he’s the president for women Lindsay good to see you thank you Caroline good to see you 19:17 so speaking of tariffs China said yesterday that they’re ready for any kind of war with the US uh because of 19:24 these tariffs that have been placed on them and a Chinese spokesperson also said that the ter would not lead to a 19:30 resolution of us concerns about fitel originating in China can you speak to how the administration is planning on 19:36 responding to that well I think secretary heg Seth has responded to that this morning uh he said that America 19:43 will always be prepared to defend itself especially under the leadership of this president in the Oval Office and that 19:49 certainly remains true again when it comes to tariffs the president has been very tough on China not just now with 19:55 20% uh and and more with the reciprocal tariffs that will hit on April 2nd um but look at what he did in his first 20:01 term there were billions of dollars worth of tariffs that he implemented on China and uh it’s quite telling that the 20:07 previous administration did not resend those tariffs because they realized the value that they had in not only 20:12 deterring China uh but also raising revenue here in the United States Rachel thanks Caroline just a quick followup 20:18 two quick followups on tariffs um the president mentioned a little disturbance during his remarks yesterday the CEO of Target says that consumers will likely 20:25 see prices go up on everything from strawberries to bananas to avocados how 20:30 long should Americans expect to pay higher prices are we talking a week a couple of days a few months again I 20:36 don’t have a crystal ball but what I can assure the American people is that this president in this Administration is 20:42 doing everything they can and I would remind you and everybody else uh in this room that it’s because of the previous 20:49 administration’s economic policies that Americans were left with record high inflation inflation throughout Joe 20:55 Biden’s entire 48 months in office was at or above 3% uh it hit record highs as 21:02 you know uh and there’s a whole list of what the Biden economic disaster this president was left to clean up it’s been 21:08 a month uh but he’s working hard every single day to do just that follow up on the card out sorry to cut you off there 21:13 um the US imported $43 Million worth of eggs from Canada I know you mentioned 21:18 some of the exemptions um when it comes to auto makers um will there be any other car bouts including for eggs we 21:24 know prices are storing for Americans the president is open to hear hear in about additional exemptions uh he always 21:31 has open dialogue and he’ll always do you know what’s right what he believes is right for the American people uh but 21:36 a again as for the egg uh crisis in this country uh the president is wholeheartedly committed to ensuring 21:42 we’re increasing our egg supply and we’re also bringing down cost and secretary Rollins has been all over this 21:49 issue she comes from an agricultural background in family that’s why she’s leading that very important department 21:54 um she wrote an amazing oped in the Wall Street Journal she’s been all over the media talking about her plan she has a 21:59 real plan the president endorses it and he even you know gave her an off the prompter shout out last night to say 22:04 Brooke I’m counting on you it’s an important issue and this White House is working with secretary of agriculture 22:10 every single day um to address this issue sure Jordan thanks Caroline so um 22:15 what does it say that the Democrats while they couldn’t stand for Americans or stand for victims they stood for war 22:21 and clapped for war and clapped for five more years war yeah you know the president uh 22:27 addressed that last night I think think when he called out Senator Elizabeth Warren and said that it again as I said 22:32 in my opening speech very telling um that the Democrats refused to to clap for American people um and American 22:39 interests and American priorities uh but they did clap for the country of Ukraine which by the way the president’s working 22:45 very hard to end that war so democrats should be applauding him for actually doing something about it follow up on 22:50 that if I can you’ve spoken recently about how um what happened in the Oval Office last week gave Americans an 22:56 inside look into behind the scenes discussions with zinsky is this how he treated Joe Biden and just treated him 23:04 disrespectfully and received billions of dollars well it’s a very interesting question um I don’t know if anybody in 23:09 here asked the previous my predecessor who stood at this Podium about that but there was a report from NBC news that uh 23:15 President Biden also got increasingly frustrated with president zalinski when he was handing out blank checks uh and 23:22 president zalinski kept asking for more uh Joe Biden was quite frustrated with that so um again as as I’ve said 23:29 repeatedly Friday revealed the frustrations that this Administration has had in closed door negotiations with 23:35 the ukrainians uh however president zalinski did put out a statement yesterday which we believe is a positive 23:40 step forward uh and secret uh National Security adviser Mike Waltz has been talking to his Ukrainian counterparts uh 23:47 and so we’re in the midst of this and we’ll see what happens next Caitlyn thanks Carol I have two questions one on 23:52 the reprieve that is being granted to these three automakers for for one month on the tariffs on Canada and Mexico how 23:58 did the president settle on one month MH the reciprocal tariffs will go into effect on April 2nd and he feels 24:05 strongly about that no matter what no exe exemption so um that’s where the one month come from comes from so does he 24:10 expect them to be able to shift production within a month he told them that he they should get on it start 24:16 investing start moving shift production here to the United States of America where they will pay no tariff that’s the 24:21 ultimate goal and on the conversations between the White House and the ukrainians and the letter that President 24:27 Trump revealed last night that he got from president zalinsky director rff said today that the president has paused 24:32 also intelligence sharing with Ukraine is that temporary or is that permanent um I believe what the National Security 24:39 Council told me in regards to that um was that they paused um or they are 24:44 reconsidering um the the funding uh for Ukraine as you saw the pause on the 24:50 funding as for intelligence matters I would refer you to either the National Security Council uh or the CIA as well 24:55 but they’re considering lifting the or reinst ating the military aid going to Ukraine which they paed again it’s a 25:01 pause for a review follow up on that sure um the president read parts of the 25:07 letter that he received last night from uh president zalinsky can you give us a sense of when President Trump now plans 25:13 to sign that minerals DE after receiving that letter those talks are happening as we speak I just saw the National 25:18 Security adviser uh he’s working very hard on it I believe he was going into the Oval Office to give the president an 25:24 update on where this stands uh but again the president is committed to a peace deal he wants to see this war end um and 25:30 I think that President zelinsky’s message which he also shared on X as well is a positive sign in the right 25:35 direction President also said that the United States was um reclaiming the Panama Canal the president of Panama 25:42 this morning or at some point today said that President Trump was lying wanted to get your response to that and also 25:49 curious if the president had a reason for not specifically mentioning Black Rock last night when he was praising the 25:55 company that is buying canals or or ports around the Panet I’m not sure if Panama has seen what’s going on with 26:00 their own Canal but as you just mentioned Black Rock is now interested in investing and taking over the two 26:06 ends of the the port which is very important because the president was very vocal several weeks ago about the need 26:12 to ensure that China is not controlling the Panama Canal um this is a a very uh 26:18 important um uh place for the United States of America uh we also saw that the Panama Canal lifted uh fees on our 26:25 us naval ships that are going in and out of the canal that’s to win for the United States of America U and the 26:30 president will continue to ensure that the uh Chinese government the CCP cannot be uh infiltrated in the the Western 26:37 Hemisphere and certainly not in the Panama Canal which is a very important place for our country Dasha president 26:43 continues to call the prime minister of Canada Justin trau governor of Canada 26:48 I’m curious uh what he means by that and if there are any uh plans that are moving forward with trying to make 26:54 Canada the 51st state and I have a followup on the economy as well sure well the president uh put that in his 26:59 true Social account uh or his true social post earlier today uh he feels strongly that it would be very 27:05 beneficial for the Canadian people to be the 51st state of the United States they wouldn’t pay be paying for these tariffs 27:11 they’d have much lower taxes if they were part of our great Country economy you and I traveled the country during 27:16 the campaign this is an issue that so many voters decided uh to cast their 27:22 ballots on and they voted for uh president Trump he has started to have 27:27 that realistic conversation with the American people that disturbance comment last night but I’m curious if you can be real with Americans right now as all of 27:35 these factors are playing out are things potentially going to get worse before they get better look I’ve now been asked 27:42 and answered this same question just given to me in different verbiage of three different times and I will answer 27:47 it again in an effort of transparency to the American people because this is an important issue and the American people 27:53 this President understands that it is and again that’s why in his joint address to Congress last last night he 27:58 addressed this issue uh with a realistic and honest approach he talked about what this Administration is doing to unleash 28:05 American Energy uh and to make America affordable again and this Administration is wholeheartedly committed to doing it 28:11 and I would remind um the American public that uh the first term record of this of this President speaks volumes 28:18 that’s why they reelected him uh because they know that he can fix our broken economy and it’s very very broken from 28:24 the previous administration stepen Thank You Caroline I’ve got two questions one on press access the other on fenadol and 28:31 tariffs sure on press access your predecessor Ken Jean Pierre presided over many novel press access 28:37 restrictions uh criticized the recent changes to the uh press pool uh made by your office she said in an interview 28:45 quote uh what we’re looking at is what North Korea is doing um what’s your response to that and can you say 28:51 anything to laay concerns that um unfavorable coverage will be punished in this new press system I think that’s the 28:57 same individ ual who said from this Podium numerous times that the commanderin-chief uh was mentally and 29:03 physically up for the job which we knew was a lie many people in this room knew it was a lie many of you were admonished 29:09 for asking questions about that truth um and um so when it comes to truth and 29:14 transparency this Administration this White House is setting the example this President is
