Enhance Your English with U.S. Government News – Trump Participates in a Cabinet Meeting, 2025. 4. 30. (Part 1)

0:00 everybody and we’ve just completed what many are saying is the most successful what was that 0:07 noise was that bobby’s a 0:15 strange that’s all right we’ve just completed what many consider to be the 0:20 most successful first 100 days of any administration in the history of our 0:26 country and we’re just getting started things are happening that are amazing and i would not say it if it weren’t 0:32 fact in a few short weeks we’ve achieved the most secure border in american 0:37 history by far 99.9% which is a number that nobody thought was doable biden thought you had 0:44 to go back to the legislature to get legislation passed in order to create a secure border you didn’t you just had to 0:51 have the right president and the right people working it congratulations by the way and to tom for two months in a row 0:58 we have set the all-time records for the lowest number of illegal border crossings ever recorded the number of 1:05 illegal border crossers released into the united states is down 1:12 99.999% uh that is usually uh 100% so i think it’s an amazing tribute 1:19 and christie congratulations and tom and everybody else that’s an amazing job actually and it was done very quickly we 1:27 officially designated trend dear aaru ms-13 and the mexican drug cartels as 1:32 foreign terrorist organizations and we’re expelling these monsters from our 1:38 country rapidly and working with the department of justice pam you’re doing 1:43 fantastic your people are amazing we’re having some judge problems everybody’s 1:48 reading we have some judges that don’t like you know killers murderers being thrown out of the country so i don’t 1:55 know what their problem is but we have uh little difficulty we won on the basis of a great border and of getting 2:02 criminals out of our country that was why we won every uh swing state we won 2:07 by millions of votes we won everything every every metric we won by a lot it 2:12 was a massive victory and we won i think largely because of this issue i put this 2:18 issue as number one issue and they don’t want us to do what we’re supposed to do 2:23 and i don’t think that can be and i hope the supreme court is going to fully understand what’s going on we have to 2:30 get the criminals out of our country and that’s the basis under which we won the election core gdp and and this is you 2:37 know you probably saw some numbers today and i have to start off by saying that’s biden that’s not trump because we came 2:44 in on january this are quarterly numbers and we came in and uh i was very uh uh 2:52 against everything that biden was doing in terms of the economy destroying our country in so many ways not only at the 2:58 border the border was more obvious but we took over his mess in so many different ways core gdp removing 3:06 distortions from imports inventories and government spending was up plus 3% when 3:13 you add it we had numbers that despite what we were handed we turned them around and we were getting them really 3:19 turned around gross domestic investment was a whopping 22% 3:24 now that is a number that people are coming in at numbers for instance i just walked in i heard samsung is now because 3:32 of the tariffs they’re going to build massive facilities in the united states uh if we didn’t do the tariffs they 3:37 wouldn’t be doing that so it takes a little while to get those facilities built but they’re coming in with big big 3:43 numbers they’re all coming in with big numbers we have more monies being spent than any at any time in the history of 3:50 our country we’re up to close to$8 trillion dollars i think i can say uh 3:56 and really it’s going to be a lot higher than that those are just the ones that we know about 8 trillion i i’m not going 4:02 to say but i don’t think i’m not sure if biden did a trillion for four years 1 trillion but uh we’re at 8 trillion for 4:10 two months because let’s give us a pass on the first month uh we were sort of getting a little bit used to things 4:17 right but after two months we have eight trillion dollars there’s never been a number like that and that includes chip 4:24 companies car companies every form of manufacturing high-tech companies 4:29 nobody’s ever seen anything like it so 8 trillion dollars uh i can talk about uh 4:35 gross domestic product gross domestic investment i can talk about a lot of things but to me the biggest numbers the 4:42 kind of numbers that are and these people are coming in uh our secretary of commerce spent the weekend he went down 4:49 to uh arizona to see what was happening with the chip the biggest chip company in the world and he said howard you said 4:57 you’ve never seen anything like it you want to just describe what you saw so they’re investing 5:02 $165 billion in,00 acres in arizona and 5:08 uh they’re building the highest tech chip manufacturing semiconductors and $4,000 employees you know american trade 5:16 craft right technicians doing every kind of work the classic foundation of 5:22 america is building it they had 14,000 people they’re expecting 40,000 people 5:27 to build the rest of their plants and to employ 20,000 people for the rest of time this is all driven you never saw a 5:34 psych and this is all driven by your tariff policies no chance this be happening without you it’s going to be 5:41 about 40% of the chip market from that one section and this is the biggest chip maker they have 99% of the market they 5:48 come from taiwan and unlike the chip act which was done by biden where they hand 5:53 everybody billions of dollars the thing they don’t need is money they got plenty of money what they need is an incentive 5:59 to come in and the tariffs they’re building because of the tariffs if without the tariffs and i’d like to say 6:04 they’re building because of november 5th the election and the tariffs but i’m going to be a little more blunt they’re 6:11 building because of the tariffs and november 5th gave them the tariffs so uh the uh it’s amazing when you look and 6:19 these are not companies that go out and say “well we’re going to build we have to go get our financing let’s go.” like 6:25 uh we would uh in new york everybody would look you know you’d get a building site and then you’d look around for 6:30 money you’d look around for financing for six months you’d get your financing you’d build your building the market 6:36 would be good you’d make money the market would be bad it wouldn’t be so pretty you’d have to negotiate blah blah blah this is different these people have 6:43 so much money they don’t know what to do they uh i asked howard did they finance it no they do it through cash and they 6:50 say that site and they just started you know they just announced it like a month ago and they’ve already started he said 6:57 i’ve never seen a site like it so big so you know you’re talking about a 50 essentially a $50 billion building now 7:03 if you build a warehouse for $50 million that’s a big warehouse scott but a $50 7:09 billion building that’s a lot they’re building the electric they’re building they’ve become a utility and i’ve given 7:16 them the right to become they’re going to build their own electric they’re going to build their own electricity which they need tremendous amounts of 7:22 electricity they’re going to build it themselves anything they have look you know left over they’ll hook that into 7:28 the grid but the grid is old and they’re unreliable and bad things can happen to grids i said if you want you can hook 7:34 into the grid but uh that’s a little bit risky or you can build your own 7:39 electricity and become your own utility and they uh i think in all cases are 7:44 deciding to do that so it’s very exciting and we have a lot of things going uh we took over on january 20th 7:52 these are quarterly reports we took over on january 20th the tariffs haven’t 7:57 kicked in yet uh i know that and i don’t want this to happen but i i know that china is doing very poorly right now i 8:04 just saw some reports coming out and i don’t want that to happen to china i like the president a lot president xi i 8:11 don’t want it to happen i was i was actually saddened to hear it but they are getting absolutely hammered in china 8:18 and uh you know they’re sending boats the biggest boats in the world carrying uh cargo like nobody’s ever seen before 8:25 these are the biggest boats in the world biggest cargo ships in the world and they’re coming and they’re turning around in the pacific ocean they’re 8:32 doing a big u-turn and going back because they don’t want the goods because 145% tariff but at a certain point i 8:40 hope we’re going to make a deal with china we’re talking to china but their factories are closing all over china 8:46 because we’re not taking their product we don’t want their product unless they’re going to be fair with us and that includes intellectual property and 8:52 other things there are a lot of things far beyond just buy sell so we’ll see what happens but you know i was not 8:59 because somebody said well were you happy i said i am not happy i want china to do well i want every country to do 9:05 well but they have to treat us fairly also so with that i think we’re going to maybe go around and we have some letters 9:12 where uh the secretaries and people around the table are making statements 9:19 about how they’re doing and what’s happening and i could start with pete on the left because he’s my least 9:25 controversial person at the i don’t know how good he is so we’ll 9:31 go around the table and you can hear and these are cabinet meetings where they’re very open and transparent and i can 9:38 guarantee you biden didn’t do this he didn’t do this go ahead pete well mr president i i think we’re controversial 9:44 because we’re over the target uh and like so many things mr president you inherited a demoralized military that 9:50 couldn’t recruit that was perceived as weak after what happened in afghanistan and elsewhere because of joe biden and 9:56 what we have seen since your election and the inauguration was has been nothing short of a recruiting renaissance it’s true uh de decades it 10:05 has been been decades since we’ve seen this kind of recruiting in the army the navy the marine corps the air force the 10:10 men and women of america want to join the united states military led by president donald trump and the police by 10:17 the way absolutely and fire i always mentioned the fire but the police and fire but the police and fire likewise 10:23 are i mean they have waiting lists now and six months ago was a disaster truly historic we can barely absorb uh the 10:30 volume and retention as well men and women in the military who don’t want to get out now that they have a real 10:36 commander-in-chief uh we’re reinforcing standards we’re going to be fit not fat in our formations we welcome back all 10:44 the covid the folks who were forced out because of uh the covid mandate we’ve ripped wokeness out of the military sir 10:51 dei trans and uh it’s fort benning and fort bragg again uh at the dod we’re 10:58 rebuilding the military sir the golden dome is well underway uh f-47 reassuring 11:04 allies and deterring enemies we found nearly six billion in doge savings that we’re going to reinvest including 50 11:10 billion from the biden administration focused on things like climate that have nothing to do with lethality and war 11:15 fighting uh and we will have as you said sir the first trillion dollar budget that we plan to spend wisely uh on 11:21 behalf of our war fighters from day one sir we’ve gotten 100 helped get 100% operational control of the border coming 11:28 alongside dhs and cbp uh we’ve got 11,000 troops on the border who now because of the new national defense area 11:35 sir can help detain illegals at the border and hand them over to cbp it used 11:40 to be if you saw camouflage on the border they could hold binoculars and that’s it and now we can detain and 11:47 assist and we are we’re going to get 100% operational control of that border our nato allies are know they have to 11:53 step up the houthis in the middle east are feeling the weight of american power 11:58 and we’re deterring communist china so because of your leadership sir i believe we’re making the military great again thank you thank you very much thank you 12:06 howard so i have the pleasure of uh running uh the investment accelerator which gets to recruit these companies 12:13 and uh you’ve never seen anything like the companies committed to building in america technology companies have 12:19 committed over $2.5 trillion dollars to build in america based on your tariffs right 12:25 sovereign countries all backing the whole middle east and all these countries backing their sovereign glove 12:31 funds they all want to invest in america and they’re coming in again over $3 trillion committed so just those two 12:39 topics you’re at $5.5 trillion and then you’ve got the whole pharma industry knows it’s got to come home because 12:45 america pays for all the drugs of the world so the pharmaceuticals have to come home right auto’s coming home 12:51 industrial’s coming home so you know we’ve got to train and uh your great secretary of labor together and 12:57 secretary of uh education together we’re going to train the workforce to build america it’s unbelievable we’ve got so 13:04 much as i travel around the attention on the trump gold card i mean it makes me very popular last night i i was out to 13:11 dinner and someone came up and said “uh can i buy 10?” and how do i buy 10 and i’m like that’s pretty good it’s $50 13:17 million for dinner so you know i was paying paying for my dinner um the external revenue service right 13:25 you’ve got the tariffs and the hundreds and hundreds of billions of dollars coming in to build the external revenue 13:30 service that our objective of course is to replace the internal revenue service and let those outside countries trade 13:36 with us let them pay their fair share to america and then of course you got rid of dimminimus and what happened is these 13:44 foreign countries were sending in little packages for free and knocking out our mom and pop businesses across america 13:51 you put an end to it and you’re going to rebuild uh the mom and pop and the small business of america you’re their 13:58 president and i’m proud to support you it’s very important to minimize it’s it’s very it’s a big deal it’s a big 14:05 scam going on against our country against really small businesses and uh we’ve ended we put an end to it mr 14:13 so uh cafe standards uh we have the fuel uh economy standards on vehicles that 14:19 are going to go to 50 m per gallon we are going to rewrite those standards bring it down to something that’s far more reasonable uh elon’s fine with that 14:26 i hope uh but but it’s going to drive down it’s going to drive down the price uh of 14:33 a car in america making cars more affordable uh for families uh also uh 14:39 biden had the social cost of credit when we build infrastructure roads and bridges adding 3 to 5% on infrastructure 14:45 costs uh we’ve gotten rid of the social cost of carbon driving down the cost to build roads and bridges across the 14:52 country uh we have what is called follow the law so we have so many states and 14:59 municipalities that don’t follow the law so whether it’s dei discriminating against americans whether uh they uh 15:07 they uh give illegals driver’s license or their sanctuary cities or states if 15:13 you don’t follow the law if you’re giving license to illegals if you’re having dei policies we’re not going to 15:19 fund your projects so you got to certify in your state or in your city to get road and bridge money or rail money that 15:25 you’re actually following the law which includes executive orders uh from you mr president we’re cutting back funding we 15:32 we we send research money mr president to uh to to universities to uh do 15:38 research on uh more equitable and sustainable transportation systems projects that’ll 15:45 uh use data and public opinion to inform policy and infrastructure and technology benefiting diverse communities including 15:51 women and gender non-conforming people just stupid wastes of money we’re pulling that money back from 15:56 universities we should do good research uh if if we’re doing research in universities and then one last thing uh 16:03 air traffic control we don’t have enough air traffic controllers we’re about 3,000 short uh we’re working on an 16:09 agreement with the union so when when controllers be become retirement 16:14 eligible we’re going to cut a deal to try to get them to stay longer to stay in the tower and then we have a plan to 16:19 put more butts in seats uh in oklahoma city so we can get more uh students 16:25 through the academy and into towers as well it’s going to take us a while to do that uh to train them up but we’re in 16:30 the process before before our four years are done well before that we’re going to be at full capacity john do you want to 16:36 tell them about i think we have to bring it up we have very obsolete equipment for air traffic controllers the 16:42 equipment the towers have horrible equipment it’s been renovated for years the money they spent over the last four 16:49 years this booted edge did a horrible job they wasted billions and billions of dollars hooking up uh wire equipment to 16:56 non-wire equipment to satellite equipment and you not a a third grade 17:01 student would know it doesn’t work you can’t work it they spent they wasted tens of billions of dollars uh but we 17:08 want to put a brand new air traffic control system in and you might want to describe that please this you and i have 17:14 talked about this it’s a state-of-the-art system envy of the world and it’s i mean listen i don’t our 17:20 system is safe but you would have hoped someone would have seen that there’s a problem with with fixed wing aircraft 17:26 and helicopters coming in at dca someone should have seen that before we we lost almost 70 lives it’s our job to look and 17:33 see that we have an aging infrastructure around air traffic control and so uh if we don’t if we don’t build a brand new 17:40 system there’s going to be failures and people will lose their lives and so we need the help of congress uh to to help 17:46 fund this but it’s going to be all brand new and after you build a brand new system we have the bedrock in the 17:52 foundation to actually build on top of it but no one has done this mr president there’s there’s band-aid fixes that have 17:58 happened over the course of 20 years you can’t have a band-aid fix it doesn’t get done it has to be brand new the 18:05 technology it’s it looks like it’s out of a 1980s movie old computers uh floppy discs um we’re using copper wires not 18:14 fiber uh so there are there are great solutions we have available that and by the way everyone’s sick of their delayed 18:20 flights or their canceled flights um we have more capacity in the airspace and 18:26 if we if we rebuild not rebuild if we build this brand new system what you’ll have is more efficiency in the airspace 18:32 and it will be safer so the economy will be stronger we can have more flights and less delays so i i appreciate your 18:37 support on that mr president rebuilding that is very important you wouldn’t have had the helicopter crashing into the plane at 400 ft up when it’s supposed to 18:45 be 200 feet that would have bells and whistles would have been gone over and you would have heard uh you would have 18:52 heard uh the screaming equipment saying there’s a problem coming up in 15 18:58 seconds you got to do something about it right now and it would have it would have also sent the word right into the 19:04 helicopter uh because i guess you’ll be doing the full report on that but it was 19:09 pretty obvious what happened right and they were supposed to be at 200 feet they were 400 feet and a terrible thing 19:15 and that wouldn’t have happened if we had the right equipment if we had the right equipment you would have heard bells and whistles going off and it 19:21 would have alerted them long before that would have happened two minutes before it would have had a lot of time so we 19:28 have to do this we have no choice and we’re going to do it we’re going to be very proud of it uh they did old 19:33 equipment in new equipment and you can’t hook in old equipment to new equipment 19:38 because it’s a different some is satellite and some is ground the satellite doesn’t work this man would 19:44 know that better than anybody but you can’t hook up a satellite system to a ground wired system and uh if you do 19:51 you’re wasting a lot of money they spent billions this is budadge they spent billions and billions of dollars trying 19:57 to patch a system together they had hundreds of different contractors and the contractors were all fighting with 20:03 each other we’re going to have one great big contractor like the great big 20:09 beautiful bill which is going which is going along very well i guess i like great big beautiful but we’re going to 20:14 have one great big beautiful contractor whether it’s maybe rathon maybe ibm 20:20 maybe it could be any one of four or five different groups but you put one in charge very big very powerful monetarily 20:28 and they give you a guarantee and they hook up everything they do every single thing so they’re responsible for the 20:34 digging of the ditches and the fiber and every single element and it’s one system 20:39 that’s hooked in it’s not all these hodgepodge systems that don’t work together and it’s just a shame i mean it 20:47 was it’s basic construction but it’s complex stuff and there are a few 20:52 companies that do it unbelievably well and we’re going to have that so uh good job sean i know that’s your that’s your 20:59 big project mr president no one has done it because it’s it’s it is complex it’s it’s hard to do because as you’re as 21:04 you’re building a brand new system you have planes taking off and landing and so because it’s complex no one has done it and you’ve given the directive and 21:11 the support to make this happen so thank ours is going to be an all new system it’s going to all hook up it’s going to be the same the same tower is going to 21:18 have the same equipment and all towers all over the country all over the world actually mostly are going to be hooked 21:24 in together and when there’s a problem when planes are too close you will hear a sound that’s uh very ears shattering 21:32 that i’ve heard it and it’s amazing i mean honestly it’s amazing it’s real genius stuff and we didn’t do that what 21:40 we did was just waste money you could have just thrown it right out the window what they did what they did in this last 21:46 four years was disgraceful whether it was the border or this you name a hundred different things the worst 21:52 administration ever okay thank you mr president thank you mr secretary thank you yeah mr president thank you and i 21:59 think one of the things that i want people to understand about the va is we’re part of the national security interest you have and you’ve laid the 22:04 groundwork for that leadership and making sure that uh with the secretary of defense and myself we take care of 22:10 veterans on two ends one when they come in and one when they serve and they’ve earned the benefits that we have and one 22:15 of the things is if we’re not doing our job on our end then the recruitment and all goes down on the other end because we have a full spectrum that’s what 22:21 leadership is is about what we found and speaking the last four years is we found an administration that wanted to throw 22:27 money and people at province but they didn’t want to put leadership in it they just put money and people at it and we saw weight times stay the same we saw 22:33 issues of suicide rates death by suicide not change we saw homelessness issue barely go down we saw disability claims 22:40 skyrocket when you took place over 250,000 uh back dislo which we’re already 22:46 bringing down almost 40,000 so far just in the last couple of months but we’ve also put back what you and i was in 22:51 congress when this happened and i was glad to see it the mission act is back front and center at the uh va we’re 22:56 actually doing community care we’re actually giving the the veteran the choice that they’ve earned and they deserve whether they can get their va 23:02 care inside our facilities or in the community it’s their choice it’s va care we’re going to give them the highest 23:07 quality care wherever they want to go also we’re expanding out options for treatments and others for those that are 23:12 new we’re experimenting and looking at new counseling ideas on new drug techniques that we can help with ptsd 23:18 tbi the things that are affecting our veterans right now but also we’ve taken uh the leadership to take people and 23:25 bring them back into work where they’re actually communicating they’re back in our offices we put thousands of people back in we’re processing more claims 23:31 daily than we were uh in the last little bit hit a million before uh has ever happened and we’re actually bringing 23:37 that down and i’ve actually taken our deputy secretary and he is actually handing a strike force now to bringing down that uh disability claim plus our 23:44 uh regular work that we’re having done we’ve also taken almost 300 plus million 23:50 dollars and taken it out of contracts that we’ve all heard about so far for we were doing contracts for meeting notes and powerpoints and if our folks didn’t 23:56 know how to do meeting notes and powerpoints go online and learn yourself we’re not gonna pay for it anymore and we took $360 million and put it back 24:02 into community care and also our health records management system that we have we’ve opened six new facilities just in 24:08 the last little bit for so all the media who wants to talk about how we’re hurting healthcare we just opened six new facilities by the way thank you 24:14 you’re welcome um as we go from that we continue we’ve also took 11.6 6b and in 24:20 sealing values of contracts and terminated that we did not need resulting in significant cost avoidance 24:25 for the future but also still maintaining the ability to take care of our uh patients and also our disability 24:32 benefits we’ve also gotten unity again we did away with $14 million in dei spending we’ve ended gender dysphoria 24:38 treatments we phased that out all directed the savings from that go to paralyzed veterans and amputees we’ve 24:44 also continued uh to work toward as you’ve uh in anti-semitism and also anti-christian bias that we saw the 24:51 biggest thing though mr president i want to stay as you told me when you said for me to take this job you said take care 24:56 of my veterans well we’ve done something in taking that step forward the veteran is back first at the va the va is not 25:02 about itself anymore we’re not a self-feeding animal it’s about a service organization that takes care of one of the best we have and that’s our veterans 25:08 and that mr president we’re just getting started thank you doug how are you doing with the suicide rates we’re getting uh 25:14 it’s it’s tough mr president that’s something that we’re looking at we’ve this is something to for that we’ve had 25:20 $588 million has been spent over the last especially four or five years to to be prevention and yet the number stayed 25:25 at 17 or 21 wherever you want to have it we’re now opening that back up taking in nonprofits we’re bringing in others who 25:31 have uh things that are actually looking at i’ve worked with uh kenned secret senator kennedy and others on the idea 25:38 of we’re opening up the possibility of psychedelic treatment and others that give us an opportunity we got to research it make sure it’s good but it’s 25:44 opening up that possibility and i think again veterans are understanding now that we’re putting them first i’m getting when i go to these hospitals 25:50 they’re actually coming up saying thanks we we’re back in where we need to be and we’re seeing a workforce develop so 25:55 suicide is going to come down it’s also going to take some transition stuff that your secretary of defense has been very helpful on we got to transfer them out 26:01 of the military so they come to us better but we’re working on that so thank you jameson mr president it may 26:09 come as a surprise but this has been the busiest 100 in the history of in history you 26:17 know this is the biggest deal ever done if you sold ibm exxon mobile and five 26:23 other companies together it’s peanuts compared to what we’re doing this is the biggest deal ever done financially in 26:29 the history of the world and uh we’re doing i think we’re doing great you’re going to see some big big results go 26:36 ahead and i’ll just say something that secretary duffy said in his context that because it’s complex no one has done it 26:42 so this is something a reordering of global trade that hasn’t happened since the end of world war ii and it’s long 26:48 overdue because we’ve seen manufacturing offshore under the old global trading system with with the net result of the 26:54 global trading system that all the manufacturing goes to asia and other places that’s a system you have to replace that’s what you’re doing they 27:00 said you wouldn’t be able to do global tariffs we did it they said everyone would retaliate no one retaliated 27:06 outside of china they said no one would come to negotiate we’re talking to dozens of countries they said no one would have offers we have dozens of 27:12 written offers uh we have lots of countries in this week this is like a break for me to come you have the list 27:18 you have the list with all the with all the countries that want to negotiate 27:24 negotiate they want to make don’t don’t zoom in on this uh yeah this is just a this is like a tracker right we have all 27:29 these columns of of which countries have come in when we started negotiations who gave us an offer are we in technical 27:35 talks and when do we expect to have have deals done those are some some weeks out but we’re moving very quickly on this 27:42 thank you jameson you’re going to have a lot of fun for the next three weeks fun it will be fun 27:49 mr president the last uh four years the world experienced a total lack of zero 27:54 leadership under under biden uh and then we’ve had a hundred days of your 28:00 leadership with with respect uh with strength starting with they’ll be all hell to pay uh if you don’t let our 28:07 people go dozens over 40 americans uh have come home uh under uh your 28:14 leadership uh far more terrorists are no longer threatening uh the homeland under 28:19 your leadership pulling all of these uh agencies uh together including 28:26 the person the evil individual responsible for the abbey gate bombing 28:31 uh and to sit with the 13 gold star families uh and you showing that 28:37 followup and that and that justice uh has been incredible but pulling this great team together mr president 28:43 everything from uh revitalizing shipyards to cyber to space that takes 28:49 this entire team working together uh it it it’s an honor uh to serve you in this 28:55 administration uh and i think the world is far better far safer uh for it amen 29:01 thank you very important this was a horrible thing 29:06 destroyed the image frankly of the biden administration what happened there was a 29:12 disgrace it should have never happened and pam is working very much on uh prosecuting that person we have the 29:18 person and uh he’ll do well i have no doubt about it thank you very much 29:24 michael so the cia i don’t know radcliffe he’s i don’t know if he’s going to say anything he’s probably the one person 29:31 here that’s not allowed to talk about the great job he’s done but go ahead mr president as you know uh at your 29:37 direction the cia has deployed our unique covert action uh authorities in 29:42 various places and continents uh to successfully advance your national 29:48 security and foreign policy priorities to advance peace to end wars to take 29:54 terrorists off the battlefield and to keep illicit drugs from coming into this country and harming americans 30:01 um unfortunately as much as i would love to detail your accomplishments in that regard we can’t do so in front of this 30:09 crowd but you and i both know mr president that you have had a profound 30:14 positive impact on america’s national security posture and americans are safer because of your leadership what i can 30:21 talk about publicly is as has been mentioned um the cia uh provided the 30:27 intelligence that led to the apprehension of the abigate bomber who is now being prosecuted by our great 30:33 attorney general and providing a measure of justice to those 13 families uh that suffered as a result of that disastrous 30:39 afghanistan withdrawal uh during the last administration in addition at your direction mr president 30:46 the cia has negotiated and secured the release of americans like mark fogle and 30:52 cassinia karolina who have been wrongfully detained sending the message that you will forget about no americans 30:58 that are being held in other places unfairly and unjustly and finally mr president the cia is being restructured 31:05 at your direction to focus on our core mission and to eliminate the polit the 31:12 wellocumented politicization that has taken place in the intelligence community from bad actors in the past to 31:18 focus on our core mission and to make america safe again thank you for the opportunity mr president good job you’re 31:25 doing a great job thank you very much russell we’re obviously involved in a number of budget uh bills that are 31:31 moving trying to make sure all of your priorities are reflected in the reconciliation working on our upcoming 31:37 budget uh wonderful job by the entire cabinet on that front uh details soon on that front sending up precisions bills 31:44 to congress for things that elon has found uh but the regulatory aspect is 31:49 something we don’t talk about enough and and right now you’ve given us a goal of 10 for one we are working right now with 31:54 all of the agencies to rack up how big of a deregulatory agenda that we can have when you came into office you 32:01 basically stopped $200 billion in costs to american families just by stopping the biden regulatory agenda that’s about 32:08 2,000 per family we think when we’re going to hit these 10 for one goals that 32:13 we could be in the neighborhood of about $900 billion in in savings to american families that would be substantially 32:21 bigger than that $2,000 number and the point that i would make in addition to just you know savings cheaper uh to the 32:28 american people there’s an aspect of of wisdom when you’re enforcing these rules 32:34 that comes into play and you’re i’m your regulator for the consumer financial protection bureau and we found this uh 32:42 this small mortgage lender in chicago his name is barry sterner he had a a a 32:47 firm called townstone and cfpb had gone after him because he complained about 32:54 crime in chicago literally the same thing that the democrat mayor had talked about and they came after him for seven 33:00 years on a redlinining disparit impact claim and um ruined his life we 33:08 overturned that we apologized on your behalf to that individual and we basically without having to go through 33:14 notice and comment we ended the policy that set that in motion and so that’s 33:20 happening across these agencies with how they are using their enforcement discretion and it will only continue uh 33:26 based on the the the stonewall of backing that you’ve given us to make these hard calls i don’t think they’re 33:33 actually that hard but no one’s done it to this point and we have we were able to go forward and do that because of the 33:38 backing that you’ve given us so maybe the biggest thing we’re working on maybe bigger than tariffs at a certain sense 33:44 is the we call it the one big beautiful bill and that’s uh wielding its way 33:49 right now through the senate and john thun has been actually amazing and uh 33:55 the speaker has been so great congress mike johnson has been really two guys 34:01 have they get along great and it’s just been a beautiful unified attack really 34:06 because we have to attack because the democrats are trying to stop it at every every turn uh it would mean a 58% tax 34:15 hike if they were successful and lots of other bad things beyond the tax hike but 34:20 with us it’ll be the biggest tax cut in american history uh how are we doing 34:25 with the bill we’re doing great we’re day in day out hour by hour negotiations 34:30 to make sure your stuff is in there uh and to make sure we have the border resources the defense resources uh and 34:37 to save the american people some tax money and and make sure all those tax cuts that you ran on are in there that 34:42 help get people back into the workforce and um i think we’re making a ton of progress i think we’re doing well 34:49 um like i said the biggest tax cut in the history of our country and uh it 34:55 would be the biggest tax increase if the democrats are successful they’re the only people i’ve ever seen running for 35:01 office where they want to increase taxes but this would be a 58 maybe a 60% tax 35:07 increase unsustainable for the american people thank you very much great job susie the most powerful woman in the 35:15 world they said i agree with that i agree i’ll be brief so you can hear from 35:21 these amazing people um congratulations to everyone on a on a 100 days that’s 35:26 been unp it’s unparalleled in in my memory and best i can tell ever um but 35:32 it hasn’t been busy for busy sake the president’s promises made to the american people have been kept time and 35:39 time and time again you all have been out there spreading the word with community groups in states in media um 35:47 it hasn’t gone unnoticed and um let’s let’s work hard for the next hundred and 35:52 have equally as much success then thank you and you’re doing a great job susie i 35:58 think everybody agrees right 36:08 do we have anybody that disagrees please in front of the media in front of the people please raise your hand if you 36:15 have the courage to do so anyway go ahead yes sir mr president i thank you 36:21 uh and you made it very clear that you wanted to put america first and also 36:26 from day one you wanted to make housing affordable again uh because we do have have a housing affordability crisis in 36:34 our country and so at hud we’ve been cutting all the red tape and bureaucracy 36:40 as it pertains to housing affordability and unleashing creativity of our builders and developers around our 36:47 country and restoring local control uh we took down the affirmatively further and fair housing rule as you know which 36:54 was a zoning tax from washington uh so no longer will washington be picking winners and losers but localities and 37:01 elected officials in different states and cities will have that flexibility also you alluded to uh securing the 37:07 border uh and such a great job has been done with all of our partners at the table and at hud we want to make sure 37:14 that the resources that we have now which is american taxpayer dollars uh in 37:19 the biden administration they prioritize illegal aliens over the american people 37:25 and so we signed anou with secretary gnome at dhs to make sure that hudf 37:31 funded housing only goes to american citizens and no longer will it go to illegal aliens coming across uh our 37:38 border we have about 9 million uh people living in subsidized housing in our country 59% of illegal alien families 37:46 use some sort of welfare program costing us $42 billion a year and so we have 37:51 prioritized american and american people only to live in hud funded housing and 37:57 also uh to make housing affordable we also signed a partnership with secretary bergam at uh doi to use underutilized 38:05 federal lands uh as you campaigned on and promised uh to identify those lands to build affordable housing in our 38:12 country so that people can realize the american dream we also restored biological truth as you did in sports uh 38:21 we have the equal access rule at hud which we take we took that rule down to 38:26 ensure that at women shelters uh that those that inter enter those shelters 38:32 would be of the same sex uh and that we will protect the ladies of our country 38:39 no longer will those that identify as women but are not women be able to enter 38:45 our shelter so that we can protect the ladies uh that we serve along with our doge task force we identified over $2 38:52 billion in savings at her $260 million that her was just in contracts 4 million 38:58 were dei and so we took those contracts down and deobligated and sent back $1.9 39:03 billion back to the treasury for the american people again we want to be good stewards of the american uh taxpayer 39:10 dollars and so mr president thank you uh for your leadership in this and uh we 39:15 have a tremendous team at hud and i’m so grateful to be part of this team around this table uh to take care of the 39:21 american people and uh i consider it a great honor and humble to do so good job yes sir yes sir appreciate it look well 39:29 i’m not sure if anyone’s heard but the price of eggs is down i know it’s news i know it’s news uh 39:36 with sir today on uh as we celebrate the 100th day i think that um it’s just such 39:41 a joy and an honor to to continue to do this work so thank you for that uh we have been obviously very focused on the 39:47 cost of groceries specifically eggs led the way as you have so eloquently discussed over the last few months and 39:53 and uh we’re holding tight um on a very significant decrease which is great and 39:59 uh and investing where we need to there uh as i mentioned before the press came in we have had a massive issue with 40:04 mexico on water and getting water to our farmers along the border for decades 40:10 when i worked um in texas 25 years ago we were fighting with the mexican 40:16 government over the water then uh you got involved about two weeks ago uh that 40:21 evening i started conversations and as of just a few days ago thanks to secretary rubio’s great deputy secretary 40:28 and i have been negotiating and we hit the best deal uh i believe in history on behalf of our farmers and and thanks to 40:34 your leadership and your strength on that and that’s a that’s a really big deal long term uh for those farmers in 40:40 south in the southern part of the country on the energy side i know we’ve got secretary bergam and his uh partner 40:46 secretary wright but we often forget that agriculture has a major piece of the energy dominance agenda not just 40:52 timber not just minerals but bofuels so we continue to uh support that great 40:58 leadership coming from those um agencies and and doing hopefully our part as well and they’ve been incredible in that uh 41:05 our farmers have been hurting uh under the joe biden administration there was a 30% increase in the cost of input so the 41:12 cost of doing business for these farmers over those four years when we left the white house the first time four years 41:18 ago we had a zero trade deficit with our agriculture products after four years of 41:23 biden that hit 50 billion because they just didn’t make an effort and so obviously that’s 50 billion less dollars 41:29 at a time of very thin profitability for our agriculture community so the congress passed a um because we the last 41:36 administration didn’t get a farm bill done either uh the farmers were hurting there so congress stepped in i say all 41:42 that and and uh basically said $10 billion to move out usda fastest in 41:48 history that money went out to those farmers that um couldn’t make uh their plant their crops and so i’m really 41:54 proud of that and you’ll hear a lot of that from your farmers today that this usda is moving more quickly than any ever before and we’re not we’re not 42:01 organizing money based on the color of skin and other ways which was how the last administration was moving out we 42:07 have canceled six billion dollars in contracts thanks to our great friend elon musk and his doge team a lot of 42:13 those were dei gender studying transgender mice um you know who knew the the the racism and pest management 42:20 we we’ve canceled all of it uh we’re going through a major major restructuring uh usda is one of the 42:26 biggest agencies it’s sort of a catch-all and uh we’re really really downsizing and aligning around putting 42:32 farmers first which is really really important a big part of usda though is food stamps it is perhaps one of the 42:39 largest if not the largest welfare program uh and and it’s a supplemental nutrition program uh secretary kennedy 42:46 and i have been working very closely we were in texas yesterday uh talking about nutrition and agriculture you can’t make 42:52 america healthy again without uh your farmers and your ranchers as your partner so ensuring that our food stamp 42:58 program uh and those at the bottom end of the socioeconomic ladder uh really have access to nutritious foods as we’re 43:05 facing an obesity uh crisis and a chronic disease crisis which i’m sure secretary kennedy will touch on uh and 43:12 the final thing i’ll say is this morning secretary gnome and i uh together and i brought a picture because i think this 43:17 is important and it goes to why we’re here this is a south dakota ranching family named the mods they are a fifth 43:25 generation fifth generation ranching family charles ma in his 30s bought the 43:31 ranch from his granddad we’ll show the press when he was 17 years old those beautiful children kyle lyall and 43:37 kennedy his wife heather um under the biden administration they had of their 43:43 several hundred acre operation they used about 20 acres um and had a fence that 43:48 had been there since 1910 when their family took over uh took over the ranching operation there had never been 43:54 really any any problem uh that had been brought to their attention perhaps there was a minor dispute over again 20 acres 44:01 uh this family was indicted prosecuted threatened with jail time told to find 44:08 guardians for their children over a fence line dispute u that the biden doj 44:15 pushed forward so this morning in the steps of the us department of agriculture with secretary gnome who was 44:20 their governor as the governor of south dakota which is where these great people are from uh all charges criminal charges 44:26 were dropped and really appreciate the department of justice it was a a really big day as we sent the signal that the 44:32 overcriminalization and using government government and you know this better than anyone because you were in the 44:38 crosshairs for so long that those days are over and the regulation through prosecution is no more and uh so this 44:46 family is one of many that we’ll now be talking to to ensure that never happens again thank you thank you 44:54 please scott sir it it’s been a momentous 100 days with you at at the 45:00 helm and i view this 100 days as setting the table for peace deals trade deals 45:05 tax deals so the next 100 days will be harvesting uh you’ve created negotiating 45:10 leverage and leadership that are going to yield remarkable results uh energy costs have plummeted uh mortgage rates 45:17 are down food costs are moving lower and american families are finding their financial footing again uh i had a group 45:24 in today uh we are america under your leadership is on the verge of becoming an ai superpower that our economy had 45:32 become barbel we had high-tech and finance on one side natural resources 45:38 led by energy which the previous administration tried to kill on the other and you’re filling in between the 45:45 with precision manufacturing that we’re going to be bringing back through good trade policies good tax policies um the 45:54 uh under the uh doge at treasury and the irs uh cost tech support and efficiency 46:01 have increased uh we have the irs revenues are up and uh thanks to the uh 46:10 young man sent over by doge the it update that began in 1990 46:16 uh which is which was begun before he was born uh is going to be finished uh 46:21 during your term so uh trade you couldn’t make it up uh trade 46:27 taxes and deregulation uh the one big beautiful bill under your leadership uh 46:33 speaker johnson the and leader thun have done a great job but they they have you 46:39 as the closer on many of their members and you know i’ll just close by saying economic security is national security 46:46 national security is economic security and it’s never been better we’re 46:52 rebuilding it and as i said uh last week at the imf and world bank conferences 46:58 america first does not mean america alone under president trump it means leadership 47:04 well said thank you are you busy enough 47:10 he’s doing a great job thank you very much m mr president thank you and thanks to 47:16 the cabinet so uh at the risk of insulting everybody else at the table i believe that i am the youngest member 47:22 sitting at the table and uh you know it occurred to me that from the time that i 47:28 was born to the time that donald j trump was inaugurated just a few uh months ago 47:34 we went from again 40 years we went from the world’s manufacturing superpower to 47:40 one in which we depend on the people’s republic of china to make the things that we need we went from the proudest 47:46 military in the world to one in which we failed to meet our recruiting goals and we went from one in which bipartisan 47:53 border policy was the consensus of both democrats and republicans to one in which we allowed 20 million people to 48:00 run roughshot illegally over the countryside causing crime causing a 48:05 stress in the welfare system and again that happened over the lifetime of the youngest member of the cabinet and what 48:13 has happened in a 100 days is that we’ve started to reverse every single one of those negative trends and i think what 48:20 it shows to me is that the president and you go you sit in the oval office and you see these portraits of president’s 48:25 past and let’s be honest most of them have been placeholders they’ve been people who have allowed uh their staff 48:31 to sign executive orders with an autopin instead of men of action and the reason 48:38 the media attacks this administration as chaotic is because the president is 48:43 solving the problems the american people set about to solve he’s actually doing 48:48 the things that he promised that he would do and mr president it’s been an honor to be part of it for the past 100 days and and let me just make one other 48:56 observation because it’s interesting i’ve seen the data i’ve monitored it 49:01 i’ve looked at it but the most under reportported fact of the first 100 days is that we came in with a massive 49:09 recruitment shortfall and in 100 days of secretary hegsth and president trump’s leadership we now have people breaking 49:16 down the doors to join our military to the media assembled here it’s a really interesting question why has that 49:22 happened completely aside from the fact that i think it’s a good thing or i think that president trump deserves political credit for it why did we go 49:29 from a military where people didn’t want to serve to now all of a sudden they do want to serve that’s a story you guys 49:35 should cover but compared to that how much time have you instead focused on the fact that we deported an ms-13 gang 49:43 member with a valid deportation order why is it that the press is so focused 49:49 on the fake bs rather than what’s really going on in the country i think that we what we’ve shown sir is that you can do 49:55 a lot you can do a lot in 100 days but you’ve also unfortunately revealed that too much of the american media hasn’t 50:01 learned the lessons of the past 40 years thank you sir thank you thank you ben 50:07 president your first 100 days has far exceeded that of any other presidency in 50:14 this country ever ever never seen anything like it thank you your 50:19 directive to me was very simple make america safe and despite that we’ve 50:25 still been defending over 200 civil lawsuits filed against you on top of 50:30 everything else i think i’m representing every one of you in this room in some capacity and no you will not be arrested 50:37 by the us marshalss over 200 lawsuits over 50 injunctions and now we’ve got multiple 50:44 cases in front of the supreme court and we will succeed and we are doing great in front of the supreme court president 50:50 and we’ll continue on with that i was at dea yesterday and they said to me “you 50:56 donald trump have taken the handcuffs off of dea agents and as a result of 51:01 since you have been in office president trump your doj agencies have 51:07 seized more than 22 million fentanyl pills 3,400 kilos of fentanyl since 51:14 you’ve been your last 100 days which saved are you ready for this media 258 51:20 million lives kids are dying every day because they’re taking this junk laced 51:26 with something else they don’t know what they’re taking they think they’re buying a tylenol or an aderall and a xanax and 51:31 it’s laced with fentanyl and they’re dropping dead and no longer because of you what you’ve done atf since you’ve 51:38 been in office president along with doj agencies seized 51:44 14,500 guns off the streets why aren’t people reporting that 51:50 651,000 rounds of ammo that’s up 151% from 51:57 2024 that’s keeping america safe we’ve rescended um death penalty we are now 52:03 seeking the death penalty on cases i’m signing death warrants we are um going 52:08 after terrorism we are going after arsonists whether you’re burning teslas we will see we’ve arrested nine people 52:16 so far in seven jurisdictions no negotiations 20 years in prison or you’re burning down the governor’s 52:22 mansion in pennsylvania we will be there to protect you and i’ve been talking to governor shapiro and he greatly 52:28 appreciated you reaching out as well isis terrorist we got one in new york 52:34 right around the corner we got an isis terrorist in new york we have an october 7th task force we just broke up a huge 52:41 human trafficking ring by the sinaloa cartel a thousand pounds of meth meth 52:47 methamphetamine on our streets ton of fentanyl 20,000 molly pills those are the drug of 52:54 choice among at clubs and bars for young kids they were fake but you know what they had in them fentanyl that’s 20,000 53:02 lives saved because of you right there we brought back 29 cartel members from mexico at your direction and one killed 53:09 the um kiki cam mareno a dea agent in 1985 and many of us got to talk to his 53:16 widow and his son who is now a judge and they started crying they have tried to 53:21 get that guy back forever and thanks to so many of you in this room working 53:26 together they have justice they were crying on the phone because of what you did president trump thank you we’re 53:32 going after anti-semitism we’re unleashing everything you told us no more dei no more weaponization um we 53:40 have rescended as i said 200 policies and i could go on all day long um but we 53:45 are doing everything in our power to keep america safe at your direction thank you thank you president really 53:52 doing a great job thank you very much okay let’s go nice to see you mr 53:58 president um well first of all i think what you’ve heard amongst this team is the leadership because it’s given us the 54:04 latitude really to collaborate amongst each other not only in this room as jameson mentioned uh we kind of get a 54:10 break for a couple of hours here but we stay in contact actually every other day that that we’re working um for you and i 54:17 think what that says is i was speaking to for instance the farm bureau of texas yesterday i’m not the a secretary but it 54:23 matters to the workforce i’m working with um the other secretaries lutnik and mcmahon on education and the workforce 54:29 investments that you’ve asked me to do because as you’ve come in and negotiated these great repatriation of these 54:34 companies and the investments we’re going to need that workforce to build back this economy and and i couldn’t see 54:40 that more as i’ve kicked off my 50 state tour we’ve been in five states so far we’ll finish all 50 states by the end of 54:45 the year and what we’re talking to is the american workforce and these companies about what the market demand 54:51 is that’s the difference that we finally have made that connection what do they need how quick do they need it and how 54:57 fast can i get these either apprenticeships toward that million that we’ve put that lofty goal we’ve already 55:02 added 80,000 new apprenticeships already just since january um so at the department of labor that tour has kicked 55:09 off and i couldn’t be more honored to be on the ground and see my uh colleagues that were passing in the skies but we’re on the ground together because uh we’re 55:16 all collaborating um together one of the things that we’re talking about illegal immigration i have put states on notice 55:22 i warned all 50 governors that if they continue to reward illegal immigration by treating um unemployment benefits as 55:30 a handout they’re going to lose their federal funding as well we can no longer continue to give unemployment insurance 55:36 um to illegal immigrants and so i’ve i’ve let those governors and i sent out that letter last week we also eliminated 55:42 discriminatory discriminatory dei offices within the department specifically the office of federal 55:48 contract compliance programs most of our federal contracts were really just a focus on dei enforcement we were really 55:55 punishing a lot of these companies if they weren’t complying they weren’t going to have a federal cont we’ve we’ve let go of that program completely uh 56:02 $4.4 billion in unspent covid funds came back to the treasury uh from the cares act um billions were collecting dust in 56:09 these coffers in the state coffers we’ve asked for that money back to return to the department of treasury we saved 250 56:15 million by cancelling america last is what i call it uh foreign handouts including funding for things like 56:21 transparency and accountability for isbekiststan cotton industry it doesn’t make sense that we’re funding you know 56:28 uh these foreign um and thank you to doge and to the government efficiency of what we have found with the fraud that 56:34 we’re seeing i mean some of these things are so ridiculous you can’t believe it no i write them down and i read them more than once 56:40 yeah it doesn’t it doesn’t make sense sounds like a comedy sketch that’s right um and so again with the executive order 56:46 preparing americans for highpaying skilled trade jobs of the future that’s our goal um the trades is where we’re 56:52 being focused but all companies and we want to make sure we’re on hand for that and uh you know what i want to say is 56:59 thank you uh to government efficiency because you asked us um when this transitions out will our departments and 57:06 our agencies continue that government efficiency and i think that that we’ve surpassed that in the department of labor out of our 14,000 federal 57:13 employees 3,000 have taken the drp and we offered it again so over 21% have 57:19 taken that offer um and we’ll keep our critical workforce mia osha and wage an hour and make sure our workers stay safe 57:25 so with your leadership mr president i couldn’t be more honored to serve i know we were probably the last to know each 57:31 other but we’re getting to know each other well and and the team that you have assembled is really an honor to 57:36 serve with so thank you mr president thank you you’re doing great thank you very much chris please mr president you 57:43 ran on unleashing american energy and a 100 days have shown the tremendous 57:49 impacts that can arise from the unleashing you have enabled i’ll just 57:54 hit hit a few highlights number one oil gasoline and diesel prices are the 58:00 lowest they’ve been in years how does that happen in a 100 days that’s a messaging your message that we’re pro- 58:07 energy we’re not against energy we’re for it that sends a message to the marketplace that supply is easier to 58:13 grow now and supply will be coming and that’s already already led to tremendous 58:19 savings for american consumers across the country and we need not only more affordable energy but we need a lot more 58:26 energy want to highlight i think a couple of us have touched on is ai this is a new emerging critical industry 58:34 that’s very energyintensive it is not acceptable for the united states to not be the leader in ai we must win the ai 58:41 race and lead in that and that’s going to take a lot more energy if you had not won election we would not have won the 58:48 ai race full stop energy would not have been there to enable us to win um 58:55 reshoring of manufacturing these trillions of dollars you led off with that’s going to come back to our country 59:00 to make chips to make steel to make automobiles to make artificial intelligence to make all of these 59:06 industries we’ve outsourced that’s only going to be possible with way more american energy but we have that energy 59:12 we have those resources we have those businesses we have those capitalists we just need to stop standing in the way of 59:18 them and follow the me the the lead you’ve set which is to enable them not to subsidize them not to help them to 59:24 enable them to invest american money and create american jobs here uh regarding 59:29 our balance of trade the second largest export of the united states is liqufied 59:35 natural gas second fastest in the next few years it’ll be our largest export in 59:40 our country but yet 18 months ago the biden administration had said “we’re 59:45 gonna stop issuing permits for new lng export terminals that’s just nuts that’s 59:51 a great competitive advantage we have huge balance of trade driver a huge industry just coiled and ready to go i 59:58 just came back from poland last night they are thrilled that america’s back in 1:00:03 business again and that the rest of europe can get off of russian energy and can enable their own economic growth 1:00:10 with secure reliable affordable energy from the united states also witnessed the signing ceremony for a deal between 1:00:18 two large american businesses to build a huge nuclear power plant in northeastern poland the first of this design built in 1:00:24 europe it’ll be the first of many i spoke with many other nations over there they want to buy more american gas they 1:00:31 want to get american technology they want to have a partnership with us and they shared they the message i delivered 1:00:38 to europe in my keynote remarks is is that unleashing energy is the way you make your society safer more prosperous 1:00:45 more free um and that these sort of over-the-top climate alarmism doesn’t do 1:00:51 anything to help the environment of our world but it does impoverish people it does reduce the security of your nation 1:00:57 and it makes you weaker i think that’s a constant message many of us around this table have brought to europe we want our 1:01:02 friends in europe standing up again and leaning in uh a lot great is happening 1:01:08 uh under your leadership we’re unleashing consumer products that americans wanted to buy that biden was 1:01:14 making illegal i’ll be in georgia on friday at reni’s manufacturing plant tankless natural gas water heaters 1:01:21 incredibly popular product they almost became illegal the return of common sense is incredibly welcome across this 1:01:28 country across the world and back back to back to back to elon that extra thing 1:01:34 we’re going to deliver all of this with less people less money less burden on the us taxpayers not smaller departments 1:01:41 and smaller services better more thoughtful services done more efficiently um and smarter the way you’d 1:01:48 have to run a business we’ve got to get our fiscal house in order and you and the people around this table are making 1:01:53 it happen thank you mr president i’m honored to be here great job thank you very much please yes mr president um you 1:02:01 are 100% correct the border is 99.99% safe under control you have 1:02:09 completely reversed the entire situation in fact the day before yesterday i was down in el paso and those border patrol 1:02:16 agents are so impacted by how you have changed things in a year they have put up huge pictures that say under the 1:02:24 biden administration the mobs of people that were pushing through razor wire and trampling children and the chaos and the 1:02:31 violence that was happening at that same location they have a picture there that says this is what the biden 1:02:37 administration looks like and this is what the trump administration looks like it’s peaceful people who do business 1:02:42 between mexico and america are coming through they’re doing it legally they’re following the law and it’s all because 1:02:48 of what you’ve done and what you’ve empowered them to do the recruitment for border patrol is through the roof for 1:02:54 ice agents they want to be a part of ice because they recognize they actually get to do their jobs i have the coast guard 1:03:00 too coast guard recruitment is up over 20% just in the last 60 days everybody wants to be a part of what the heritage 1:03:07 is of this country um we’ve repositioned the entire coast guard fleet to focus on border and drug interdiction as we’ve 1:03:14 secured the border the cartels have gone to the water and are going out in maritime waters to move their drugs into 1:03:20 this country the coast guard just in the last two months has taken into custody over 126 tons of cocaine um millions of 1:03:29 of doses of fentanyl it’s just amazing and the aliens that they are deporting 1:03:34 is incredible too um we’ve been working with all of them the one thing that i want to point out is the fake news has 1:03:41 been saying that biden deported more people than you and it’s an absolute lie 1:03:46 and they’re letting the biden administration get away with manipulating and cooking the books what 1:03:51 they’re counting for the biden administration is every single person that came to that border that they 1:03:56 processed and led into this country they’re allowing biden to say that was a deportation just by processing somebody 1:04:03 and letting them come into the country it’s absolutely false it’s not true at all you have deported over 250 known 1:04:11 terrorists you’ve deported thousands of foreign terrorist organization members and gang members hundreds of thousands 1:04:18 of people that were in this country illegally we’ve collected 30 billion dollars worth of tariffs through cbp and 1:04:25 we’ve also collected millions and millions hundreds of millions of fines and penalties from people that have 1:04:30 overstayed here in this country so i just want to thank you you you’ve been a gamecher i want to thank pete for his 1:04:37 leadership at dod and what they’ve done i want to thank marco for his diplomacy and getting us travel documents into 1:04:44 these countries mexico has finally come to the table and now is going to take a lot more people that were able to send 1:04:50 back to that country and the president of mexico told me sir she turned around over a half a million people in mexico 1:04:57 before they ever reached our border uh we should be counting those as deportations because they never even made it to the border because she turned 1:05:03 them around because you forced her to so those are all people that never even came here because they got the message 1:05:10 because you were so aggressive so thank you for what you’re doing and every day we get to get up and do jobs that matter 1:05:16 and we appreciate that tom is doing a great job oh yeah tom’s a great messenger for us he just yeah he’s 1:05:21 hardcore yeah thank you he is hardcore no question about kelly mr president 1:05:29 it’s such an honor to serve in this administration and on behalf of main street america for our 34 million small 1:05:36 businesses that make up 99% of all businesses in this great nation i have to tell you under your leadership main 1:05:42 street is open for business again they’re thriving and they’re investing and the data that we have at the small 1:05:48 business administration the loans that we’re putting out a record 26,000 loans in your first 100 days means that 2,000 1:05:56 small businesses each week are receiving that funding that investment in the future small businesses create two out 1:06:03 of every three new jobs in this country and we’ve already seen under your leadership the jobs economy is back 1:06:09 manufacturing jobs are back uh we’ve seen a 38% increase in manufacturing loans we put out 1,500 manufacturing 1:06:17 loans in your first 100 days we saw startups increase by 54% and we saw 1:06:23 businesses under five people increase by 95% so your leadership on the economy 1:06:29 matters to every region of this great nation i’ll tell you on the manufacturing front i’m out on a 1:06:34 national manufacturing tour we’ve met with 250 manufacturers and as i walk 1:06:39 through the factory floors they all ask me to thank you for fighting for their jobs for these industries and for the 1:06:46 people who are creating things from pharmaceuticals to aerospace uh to to 1:06:52 food and all these essentials that this nation needs to be independent and strong and to that end i’m working with 1:06:58 congress will be announcing tomorrow an upsizing of our manufacturing loans to 1:07:04 make sure that that economic engine because 98% of all manufacturers are 1:07:09 small businesses it’s incredible to walk through these factories that are really creating what you had in your first 1:07:15 administration the bluecollar boom it’s now a new collar boom because it’s the 1:07:20 intersection of technology and manufacturing and what they can create for our war fighters for our aerospace 1:07:27 for pharmaceuticals with less than three to 500 employees sometimes a hundred employees i was at a factory in georgia 1:07:33 on monday that is creating machines to help with the iron dome in israel less than 50 employees this is the engine of 1:07:41 our economy it’s the heartbeat of our communities it’s the small businesses that helped elect you because they 1:07:47 needed your economic agenda so thank you mr president such an honor and congratulations on an epic 100 days i do 1:07:55 have to thank elon i do want to note we just cut $3 billion in contracts because 1:08:01 of doa’s work that’s $3 billion that hardworking families that won’t have to 1:08:06 work until april 15th to pay for the waste fraud and abuse that we continue to find in this government on behalf of 1:08:13 taxpayers so again thank you elon as well thank you great job thank you very much elon i love the double hat yeah 1:08:20 thank you get away with it well mr president you 1:08:25 know they say i wear a lot of hats and as you can see it’s true even my hat has 1:08:31 a hat um so 1:08:39 um you know the american people voted for secure borders safe cities and sensible 1:08:47 spending and that’s what they’ve gotten a tremendous amount has been accomplished in the first 100 days as 1:08:52 everyone has said it’s more than has been accomplished in any administration before uh ever period um so uh this is 1:09:01 this portends very well for what will happen for the rest of the administration um i think this could be 1:09:06 the the greatest administration since the founding of the country we all want to thank you for you know you you really 1:09:13 have sacrificed a lot been treated very unfairly well this i do like to rent my 1:09:18 cars which is not great you know better 1:09:24 but you have been treated unfairly but uh the vast majority of people in this 1:09:29 country really respect and appreciate you and this whole room can say that very strongly really been a tremendous 1:09:36 help you opened up a lot of eyes as to what could be done and we just want to thank you very much and uh you know 1:09:42 you’re invited to stay as long as you want at some point i guess he wants to get back home to his cars 1:09:50 and we want 1:09:56 job you’ve done an incredible job $150 billion think of this 1:10:03 yeah 160 they said “oh it could have been more.” and uh a lot of you know a lot of 1:10:10 stuff is being worked on that number could be doubled and even tripled a lot of things are being worked on that we don’t count yet because it’s not quite 1:10:15 there but you’ve done a fantastic job and we appreciate it very much elon you know thank you it’s also an honor to 1:10:21 work with your incredible cabinet i just like to say thank you everyone for you know it’s great to work with you thank 1:10:26 you very much mr president congratulations on uh this 1:10:32 truly historic first 100 days of your administration uh really only made possible by your focused leadership on 1:10:39 delivering the mandate the american people gave you uh you’ve empowered all of us to to deliver that mandate and i’m 1:10:46 grateful to uh have the privilege of leading the intelligence community towards ending the weaponization 1:10:52 politicization of the intelligence community that’s gone on for far too long and and building out what is truly 1:10:58 a lean and agile and effective intelligence community that is helping you deliver that promise to the american 1:11:04 people of safety security uh and freedom so mr president i’d like to highlight just three of the areas where we are 1:11:11 helping to support your leadership and your work in making america safe again and bringing about these changes uh 1:11:18 first of all because of your designation of cartels as foreign terrorist organizations i took immediate action 1:11:23 with our national counterterrorism center to prioritize their focus on 1:11:28 those terrorists and gang members who are trying to enter our country uh through legal or illegal means and to 1:11:35 seek out those who already are here in our country because of the biden administration’s four years of open 1:11:40 borders we’ve been uh working uh very closely with uh your great attorney 1:11:46 general’s team at the dea to get these known cartels into our systems to be 1:11:52 able to stop them at the border and turning over names to department of homeland security uh and the fbi to be 1:11:58 able to find those who are already here in our country uh just the other day we found 700 alien terrorists who have ties 1:12:05 to ms13 trenda and the senoloa cartel just yesterday our nctc identified 1:12:12 almost 600 individuals with ties to other terrorists who came through our borders illegally claimed asylum and 1:12:19 under the biden administration were parrolled here uh within our borders uh 1:12:25 secondly mr president like too many organizations in the federal government the odni has become uh very bloated with 1:12:34 too much waste uh and abuse going on within the organization uh we’ve done a few immediate steps we are doing more 1:12:41 the odni is 25% smaller and more lean today than it was when i walked in the 1:12:46 door and when you took office uh secondly we have um uh just this morning 1:12:52 actually shut down a human capital office as soon as you issued the executive order to stop all dei 1:12:58 activities we did that shut down the dei office we discovered this human capital office that was essentially a slush fund 1:13:06 for dei initiatives uh hidden under the guise of human capital that closed down this morning saving taxpayers $150 1:13:13 million uh we’ll soon be announcing an additional $2.6 billion in savings with 1:13:19 other programs and contracts uh that do nothing to ensure our national security 1:13:24 interests uh and lastly we’re working every day to hold the deep state accountable to end the politicization 1:13:31 weaponization of the intelligence community this past week i sent three criminal referrals for illegal and 1:13:38 unauthorized leaks to the media of classified intelligence for prosecution 1:13:43 we have 11 more that are under investigation uh we’ve revoked at your 1:13:48 direction 67 security clearances and we continue the work of declassifying 1:13:55 documents as we have already around uh jfk assassination we have more coming 1:14:00 for the assassination of uh bobby’s father senator kennedy and mlk assassination and we continue our 1:14:07 extensive investigations around exposing the very serious issues we have related 1:14:13 to election integrity uh illegal abuses of fisa crossfire hurricane and others 1:14:19 mr president under your leadership we are working every day to bring about that transparency and accountability that the american people deserve so 1:14:26 thank you for the opportunity great job thank you very much lee mr president at the biden epa 1:14:33 the green new deal was raging at the biden 1:14:40 epa we saw billions of tax dollars burning at the the biden epa we saw 1:14:47 industries suffocate but at the trump epa the green 1:14:52 new deal is dead at the trump epa we know that we 1:14:58 can both protect the environment and grow the economy i have 13 pages of 1:15:04 accomplishments from our first 100 days in here and in it part of it is 100 1:15:09 environmental accomplishments at the trump epa you don’t have to take my word for it we released it to the media this 1:15:15 morning every single day that president trump is in this office there will be a 1:15:20 major environmental accomplishment every single day of the trump 1:15:26 administration at the trump epa we’re also launching what is the largest 1:15:31 deregulatory action in the history of the country we’re going to be giving uh 1:15:36 our director of the om a whole lot of work because we inherited a big mess 1:15:42 from the biden epa and working with elon and doge i’ve canled now $22 1:15:48 billion worth of grants now today is a a special day for many reasons the biggest 1:15:55 reason why we’re here is that this is the 100th day of the most consequential 1:16:00 historic first 100 days in the history of this country today while we’re here 1:16:06 the house of representatives is voting on congressional review act bills 1:16:11 considering the epa waiverss that were given to california’s tailpipe emissions 1:16:16 where california set their own standards but there should be one national 1:16:22 standard and right now congress on the house side is going to be voting on that today on a personal note while this is a 1:16:29 bit outside of the epa jurisdiction uh today is my last day serving the united states army and i first signed up uh in 1:16:37 the at towards the end of the 90s and i’ve had a chance to see a lot of national security teams over the course 1:16:43 of the last 27 years there has never been a national security 1:16:50 team ever assembled that had the backs of our warriors like this national 1:16:56 security team right now and we have never had a president so deeply committed towards ending foreign wars 1:17:02 instead of starting new ones there’s a reason mr vice president why everyone is 1:17:08 racing to join our department of defense we have a secretary of defense who with all due respect to our great president 1:17:15 would probably rather be swimming with navy seals right now be running somewhere in the middle east with our 1:17:21 with our service members uh and from our secretary of defense to our secretary of 1:17:27 state our vice president and more i just want to say thank you as a veteran of our military for assembling what is the 1:17:32 greatest national security team that i have ever seen in my 27 years associated 1:17:38 with united states army has pete signed off on his retirement [Laughter] 1:17:49 [Applause] le thank you for your 1:17:55 service you’re doing a fantastic job we appreciate it very much so well mr 1:18:02 president i don’t think i have ever worked so hard to try to fire myself uh but but we are certainly making great 1:18:09 strides in that we’ve uh we’ve reduced uh the folks over at the department of 1:18:15 education by about 50% now uh through our rit program and so we’ve closed a lot of the district offices 1:18:22 consolidating so there are uh there are a lot fewer people working a lot more efficiently in the department of 1:18:28 education the um commissioners of education in every state and i was at a 1:18:33 meeting with them not too far along not too long ago for uh not only our states but our territories they are thrilled 1:18:39 with the opportunity now to be able to have more control over the education in their states to get rid of a lot of the 1:18:46 red tape and regulation that’s that’s kept them from doing what they’re doing so we’re seeing i think great 1:18:52 improvements we’ll see test scores i believe it’ll take a bit for them to be able to go up but i think now that 1:18:57 they’re going to have the opportunity to put in their own programs uh we’ll we’ll see that grow um at the same time we’ve 1:19:03 been focused on higher education for our uh universities um we have uh we’ve 1:19:10 returned uh proper enforcement of title nine protections to schools we have 1:19:15 stopped funding to colombia for instance uh and some other schools for not only 1:19:21 title nine but title six infractions uh and those are moving along i think we’ve brought people to the table they know 1:19:27 that you’re serious you meant what you said they’re going to make changes they’re making their campuses safer 1:19:33 again uh anti-semitism uh was just out of control in many of our universities 1:19:39 uh and so some tried to in fact harvard is sued and they’re saying that it’s you know first amendment infraction no this 1:19:45 is civil rights safety on our campuses for our uh young students you know who 1:19:50 are there and with with pam’s help and the task force that we formed with hhs 1:19:56 with gsa with other agencies we’re going to make sure that our campuses are safe uh and so there’s a lot of good work 1:20:02 going on i think one of the biggest things you’ll be very happy to hear this mr vote that we are putting u back into 1:20:09 place collecting on our student loans that have been uh that have been 1:20:15 delinquent since march of 2020 been no effort to recollect on those loans so as 1:20:20 of may 5th the letter goes out that the loan uh recollection is beginning again 1:20:26 so for those people who have borrowed money and who’ve not been paid and that’s just not to be punitive there are 1:20:32 many ways that they can go online to understand how they can get back into the right payment structure because when 1:20:38 they’re in default they can’t buy a house they can’t buy a car because their credit scores are down so it’s helpful to them as well as to get this money 1:20:45 back into the country i mean we $60 billion dollar of increased student loan debt since since 2020 and in total we’ve 1:20:55 got almost $1.7 trillion in student debt so we’re going to we’re going to start 1:21:00 getting that back and uh scott and his team have been incredibly helpful we appreciate that so very very much and uh 1:21:07 so a lot’s going on at the department and what i would really like as i’m firing myself i’d like for you to be 1:21:15 known as the education uh president because of the best and 1:21:20 practice uh systems that we want to put in every state to incorporate ai so that 1:21:26 we are training these new entrepreneurs and business leaders in our country we can’t do it with the infrastructure we 1:21:32 have in place today so we have to be working on that at the same time so we’re going to be doing that so thank 1:21:38 you for your charge to uh to elevate education so that we are providing for 1:21:44 every student access to excellent education thank you sir thank you very much lynon what’s going on with harvard 1:21:51 and some of these colleges that are taking vast amounts of money who also have vast amounts they’ve got $52 1:21:59 billion and really scamming the public and hiring people like delasio and lori 1:22:07 lightfoot who are certainly two of the worst mayors in the history of our country paying them a fortune of salary 1:22:14 and uh having them teach our children how to manage cities and how to man manage government uh what’s the word as 1:22:23 of this morning on let’s say harvard well we’re negotiating with them when we went back to them to say we’d welcome 1:22:29 them back to the negotiating table their response was a lawsuit so uh pam and her 1:22:34 team are helping helping work with that and uh i am uh you know enjoying the fact not only am i firing myself but i’m 1:22:40 now being sued fairly regularly by different departments of education but 1:22:46 we we’re staying tough with them the other thing that we’re looking at also are the uh are the 117 violations of 1:22:54 these big universities like harvard and others who are not reporting as they required to do by law foreign money that 1:23:02 comes in and how much that is and where it comes from and so that is a very students yeah it’s very serious where 1:23:07 are these people coming from yes sir we we pulled back their grants because harvard isn’t responding to us criminal 1:23:14 activity by their students and until they give us that list they’re not getting any more grants from homeland security i think you should pull it back 1:23:20 the students they have the professors they have the attitude they have is not american and uh i think you should a 1:23:28 grant is a grant we don’t have to give grants great so we’ll pull back the grant all right very good thank you very 1:23:34 much thank you bobby mr president thank you for your extraordinary leadership 1:23:40 over the past 100 days we are already making america healthy again we 1:23:45 announced last week the ban on the nine petroleum based synthetic dyes food dyes 1:23:52 within two years uh within two months we’re going to ban the worst two of them 1:23:57 we i am working with secretary wallins on dietary guidelines the dietary 1:24:02 guidelines that the trump that the president biden’s administration gave us 1:24:08 453 pages they’re basically unreadable and they are the product of 1:24:14 the same kind of politicized science that drove froot loops to the top of the 1:24:20 food pyramid and we are we’re going to do real science gold standard science we’re 1:24:27 going to develop within we have till december to do it but we are working very very fast together we’re going to 1:24:33 get it done by the end of the summer in time to drive change major dramatic 1:24:39 changes in the school food the school lunch programs over the next next school 1:24:45 year i’m working also with with secretary rollins on the snap 1:24:51 program and the uh to get sodas and and 1:24:57 uh and candy off of the food stamp program 10% of food stamps go to snap 1:25:03 and i want to thank you for your courage you are businessfriendly president probably the most business friendly in our history but you’re also willing to 1:25:10 stand up to very very powerful businesses and you’ve shown that again and again 1:25:15 secretary rollins had the soda industry come in and knock on her door very much 1:25:21 and very loudly and they said to her “well the snap program is not supposed 1:25:26 to be about nutrition.” she pointed out to them that there is no nutrition in a 1:25:32 soda and she they said “well it’s not supposed to be about nutrition.” and she said to them “the name of the program is 1:25:39 supplemental nutrition assistant.” so it is about nutrition and we 1:25:45 shouldn’t you know we have 38% of our kids are diabetic or pre-diabetic and we 1:25:51 are paying at both ends we’re paying for the food the foodl like substances that make them diabetic and then we’re paying 1:25:59 we’re being bankrupt we’re paying a trillion dollars a year on metabolic dysfunction it’s existential and it’s 1:26:05 not sustainable we have uh i visited arizona uh west virginia utah 1:26:14 and indiana in the last two weeks who have all applied for snap waiverss were encouraging thanks to brook rrook 1:26:22 rollins leadership all of the states to apply for those waivers i also visited utah which is 1:26:30 which is the first state to ban supplemental fluoride florida yesterday passed a bill to ban 1:26:37 supplemental fluoride and i’m confident governor desantis is going to sign that i’m we are working lee zelda and i 1:26:45 are working together to change the federal fluoride regulations to change 1:26:51 the recommendations and we’re looking at the science now i want to point out that in august the national toxicity program 1:26:59 which was an arm of the nih did a meta review of all the science on fluoride and found that there’s a direct inverse 1:27:06 correlation between fluoride exposure and lowered iq in children so the more you get the stupider you are and we need 1:27:14 smart kids in this country and we need healthy kids and thank you for your leadership we’re going to get there 1:27:20 reviewing the grass standards now to get we’re revamping them to get 10,000 1:27:25 ingredients that are in our food the europeans only have 400 ingredients we have 10,000 or chemicals we know nothing 1:27:33 about and we are going to stop that process and then we’re going to go back and look at these chemicals and make the 1:27:39 companies either get rid of them or to label them we are we’ve launched operation stork speed and we’re going 1:27:45 full speed ahead to make sure that we have good high quality milk for children 1:27:52 we have launched the autism study at your direction by september we’ll have 1:27:59 some of the first answers within six months of that we will have definitive answers not only for autism but for the 1:28:05 ideology of a whole range of autoimmune diseases that have become epidemic in 1:28:10 our children we have ended hhs as the the role as the vector the principal 1:28:18 vector in this country for child trafficking and uh during the biden administration hhs became a collaborator 1:28:27 in child trafficking and for sex and for uh for slavery and we have ended that 1:28:34 and we’re very aggressively going out and trying to find these children the 300,000 children that were lost by the 1:28:40 biden administration um and we are we have 1:28:45 ended funding for for gender mutilation surgeries and and other kind of gender 1:28:51 dysphoria practices and thanks to elon we have saved 67 billion dollars at our 1:29:00 agency without compromising any of our critical programs um mr president i want 1:29:06 to thank you for your vision for your leadership for giving me the hundred busiest days of my life and uh and most 1:29:14 exciting and most rewarding and there’s uh over the next 100 days we’re going to do much much more that’s great thank you 1:29:20 very much very good very important thank you doug please well president trump uh 1:29:27 on your first day in office you wisely declared a national energy emergency and this was uh essential 1:29:34 because it was the signal that we’re going to go 180 degrees from the disastrous and dangerous biden policies 1:29:43 uh that were based on a climate ideology that was uh uh the root cause of the 1:29:49 inflation in this country it was the root cause of wars abroad it was the root cause of of uh of our manufacturing 1:29:56 disappearing from our country we can’t have energy security without energy security we can’t have national security 1:30:02 and you understood that but now with everything that’s flowed from that uh dozens of other eos that you’ve done uh 1:30:09 america is back in the energy business as chris said there’s been a signal that’s sent around the world uh capital 1:30:15 is flowing coming back in the smart money is coming to this country and now you’ve given us a chance to win the ai 1:30:21 arms race against china we know we’re up against a formidable competitor china opened up 94 gawatts of coal in the last 1:30:30 year that’s more than all of california and all of new york combined in the last year we’ve had presidents in the past 1:30:37 the biden administration that were running away again under this climate ideology you’ve embraced base load power 1:30:44 in this country i’ll never forget standing in the east room with you surrounded by uh the coal miners around 1:30:50 this country where you said “hey big beautiful coal.” uh we’ve we as we work to try to identify the balance sheet of 1:30:57 america our earliest estimate is that the coal resources in america just on public lands could be worth $8 trillion 1:31:05 with a t uh that was all going to be taken off our balance sheet if we weren’t going to touch it but now we’re 1:31:10 back in the business i was 1,800 feet underground in a coal mine in alabama a couple weeks ago uh they do metal 1:31:17 metallurgical coal without metallergical coal we can’t produce steel this is a plan this is an or a plant that would 1:31:23 have been in a mining operation that would have been shut down under the b biden administration what we’re doing here back in the business we’re doing 1:31:30 leasing we’re leasing for oil and gas we’re leasing for timber with brook rollins we’re leasing for grazing we’re 1:31:36 we’re leasing for critical minerals which is key and when we lease the public lands appropriately and by the 1:31:42 law to do that we’re bringing in revenue we’re bringing in jobs we’re helping strengthen america and so we’re treating 1:31:49 our natural resources like the american balance sheet they are and america’s resources the the 700 million acres of 1:31:56 surface that’s public the 700 million of of subsurface the 2.5 billion offshore 1:32:02 all contain what we need to have self-sufficient supply chains and so in this uh we’re focused deeply on critical 1:32:08 minerals uh the biden administration put us in a real uh predicament right now 1:32:14 the whole trade team uh the whole cabinet uh susie’s jumping in leadership 1:32:19 across everybody in the national energy dominance council but of the top 20 1:32:24 critical and rare earth minerals that we need for defense that we need for industry uh china’s controlling 85% of 1:32:30 the refining for that so we we are running at warp speed 7 days a week uh 1:32:35 to try to put ourselves back in business in that way so and i want to just close out by saying a couple other things one 1:32:42 is uh is the border few people realize that 41% of the southern border uh is in 1:32:49 department of interior then we’ve got a few more percent that come with brook and uh and with the forest service but 1:32:55 that’s that’s been a risk area part of the reason everybody’s pouring into our country biden wasn’t enforcing the the 1:33:00 border laws they definitely weren’t enforcing it on public lands and so again using uh a tying two presidents 1:33:08 that had a great propensity for action theodore roosevelt in 1907 uh created a 1:33:14 what was called the roosevelt reservation 60-foot strip that go from texas all the way to the pacific ocean 1:33:21 because he was worried in some future state there might be smuggling i don’t think he was anticipating human smuggling and fentanyl trafficking but 1:33:29 that has been largely unused you with he gave us the authority to transfer that 1:33:34 and so working with christy and working with pete uh we’ve transferred that to the the dod so transferring land from 1:33:41 the other agencies like interior to the department of defense and as pete said they can do the detain and assist uh 1:33:48 with the military and having been down at the border multiple times in recent weeks i can confirm everything christie 1:33:53 said uh the the enthusiasm the morale of that group is exactly 100% opposite of 1:34:00 when christy and i were down there as governors i i had border patrol people say that were they were 1:34:06 multi-generational service in that law enforcement that said “my wife and i are telling our children never to go into 1:34:12 this thing going go into border patrol.” people this time were saying “i got a 17-year-old as soon as they turn 1:34:19 18y old they’re signing they’re signing up my wife is thrilled uh they’re going into law enforcement they’re so proud to 1:34:25 be serving with you everybody i’ve met whether it’s in a coal mine or at the border law enforcement the one thing 1:34:31 they say on those trips is “please thank president trump from all of us the change that you’re making.” and i want 1:34:36 to say especially this became very dear when we last week renamed a us wildlife 1:34:42 refuge in honor of joselyn nungare joselyn nungare of course lost her life tragically to illegal venezuelan gang 1:34:49 members in this uh country in a horrific way but her mother alexis was at that ceremony her grandmother was there and 1:34:56 jocelyn’s great-g grandandmother was there there three other generations of that family were there they all wanted 1:35:01 to pass on their thank you you too and we’ve uh we’ve secured her name forever as a sanctuary and and really is saying 1:35:08 that every child every 12-year-old every child in america should be safe uh in their own communities and you’ve you’ve 1:35:14 dedicated a beautiful piece on the coast and honor so president trump uh in your 1:35:20 first term when i had a chance to work with you as governor you were courageous the thing that’s empowering this amazing 1:35:25 group of people around this table and you’ve probably assembled the greatest cabinet ever is that this time you’re 1:35:30 not just courageous you’re actually fearless and it’s your fearlessness to take on the issues that other presidents 1:35:36 would not touch whether it’s the work that we’re doing with uh successfully streamlining and right sizing government 1:35:42 or whether it’s taking on uh the issues at the border or whether it’s embracing the power we need to win the ans race 1:35:49 you’re fearlessly doing that and that creates uh it just all of us can sprint because you’re running ahead so thank 1:35:55 you well thank you doug and you’re doing a great job and with chris that’s a 1:36:01 pretty much unbeatable combination i have to tell you so thank you both very much thank you doug it’s great 1:36:08 well it’s not easy to go last after all these reports that have come here first of all mr so i better be good and i’ll 1:36:14 be short as well uh a couple things mr president i think you deserve a lot of credit for two things the first is 1:36:20 assembling this great team of people uh some of whom i’ve known for a long time others who i’ve gotten to know during this period of time but putting together 1:36:26 a team not just of talented individuals but that work well together is something never going to be reported on in the 1:36:31 media or fully seen but it happens every single day for the most part i interact with almost everyone around this table to some at some level um and uh and 1:36:39 because of secretary kennedy i’m afraid to eat anything so uh in front of him he said tootsie rolls 1:36:47 are okay in moderation so but uh but it’s a great team and 1:36:52 here’s the second and i tell this to people all the time this is incredibly rewarding service and you hear it in everyone’s voices traditionally in the 1:36:59 past and it’s one of the problems we got in as a country is presidents would say okay let’s go do something and then they 1:37:04 would have to do a study and then a study on the study and then a long internal deliberative process and by the 1:37:09 time you got to it was too late or somebody had forgotten it in this administration it’s moving you you know 1:37:14 the direction because you know why you were elected and the american people elected you very clearly and basically it’s measured i used to say by days and 1:37:22 weeks now it’s measured by hours and minutes but action is happening and that’s what people want to see and i may 1:37:27 talk about foreign policy in particular because i’m not sure this is fully appreciated we have we this president 1:37:32 inherited 30 years of foreign policy that was built around what was good for the world in essence the decisions we 1:37:38 made as a government in trade in foreign policy was basically is it good for the world is it good for the global 1:37:43 community and under president trump we’re making a foreign policy now that’s was it good for america 1:37:50 i was uh appointed by you and confirmed by the senate to be the the head of the 1:37:55 united states department of state not the world department of state not the global department of state the united 1:38:01 states department of state and what that means is our foreign policy is guided by three things does it make america 1:38:06 stronger does it make america safer and does it make america richer if something doesn’t do one of those three things and 1:38:13 hopefully all three of those things we’re not doing it now we went out and hired a consulting firm to help us 1:38:18 organize ourselves luckily they were free they’re called the department of government efficiency and they helped us 1:38:24 do a couple things number one is our foreign a we were funding some crazy stuff crazy stuff you tell me how does a 1:38:31 puppet show in in some country around the world make us stronger safer and more prosperous so we got rid of puppet 1:38:37 shows and a bunch of other things i’m sure there are very good puppet shows and i’m sure that a bunch of charities in the world can go pay for it but the 1:38:43 american taxpayer should not we’ve also by the way mr president under your direction reorganized the department of state we had offices within offices 1:38:50 within offices that didn’t even know they existed themselves not to mention the rest and so we’ve begun to 1:38:56 reorganize that as a way uh to be able to empower our embassies and our ambassadors and our regional bureaus to 1:39:03 do what many of them signed up to do we have a great team of ambassadors you’ve appointed they’re coming online every 1:39:08 single day very talented people very talented people are involved something else we got out of the business of 1:39:13 wasn’t widely reported or maybe it was we had a department we had an office in the department of state whose job it was 1:39:19 to censor americans and by the way i’m not going to say who it is i’ll leave it up to 1:39:24 them there’s at least one person at this table today who had a dossier in that building of social media posts to 1:39:30 identify them as purveyors of disinformation we have these dossas we are going to be turning those over to 1:39:36 these individuals very long we can follow up with the media well we 1:39:43 are going to turn over these dossas to the individuals and they’ll decide whether they want to disclose it or not 1:39:48 but just think about the department of state of the united states had set up an office to to monitor the social media 1:39:54 post and commentary of american citizens to identify them as vectors of disinformation when we know that the 1:40:00 best way to combat disinformation is freedom of speech and transparency and so that’s what we’re going to be in the 1:40:05 business of doing and we’re not going to have an office that does that beyond that mr president and this all moved quickly because this has been a team 1:40:10 effort we have gone to countries all over the world and said “hey you want good relations with the united states you need to take back your people that 1:40:16 are here illegally.” and we’ve had historic cooperation beyond that and i say this unapologetically we are 1:40:22 actively searching for other countries to take people from third countries so we are actively not just el salvador we 1:40:28 are working with other countries to say “we want to send you some of the most despicable human beings to your 1:40:33 countries will you do that as a favor to us?” and the further away from america the better so they can’t come back across the border i’m not apologetic 1:40:40 about it we are doing that it president was elected to keep america safe and to get rid of a bunch of perverts and 1:40:45 pedophiles and child rapists out of our country here’s something else we’ve done we stopped giving student visas to 1:40:51 people who are coming here to burn down our universities and take over libraries and harass people why are we giving 1:40:57 student visas to people who are coming here to create disruption and we’ve taken away the student visas of people 1:41:03 that have come here to do that it’s simple if you’re coming to america to to start riots we’re not going to give you 1:41:09 we’re going to take away your student visa and by the way every country in the world that i travel 14 countries in 14 weeks you know what they all say to me 1:41:15 yes that’s what we would do too so the only people who seem to disagree with us are a handful of federal judges and a 1:41:21 bunch of crazy people who get paid to write and and report so anyway we’re getting rid of that um the last but now 1:41:28 here’s some good news uh you know we’re going to have the world cup the fifa world cup the fifa 1:41:35 club cup and then we’re going to have the olympics so we have to have a a uh consular affairs bureau we have very 1:41:41 good talented people there but we are going to infuse technology again working with our consultants to be able to grant 1:41:47 millions of people are coming into this country for this and but i also we’ve done it to improve customer service for 1:41:52 some of us who served in congress recognize that about a year and a half ago we had a meltdown under biden you couldn’t get a passport you you have 1:41:59 people calling i have a cruise on friday my passport expires in the month of march we process 2.78 million americans 1:42:06 their passports that is the historic never in any it’s the largest single month uh processing of passports ever 1:42:13 and we think it’s a good way to build the momentum to be able to do the visas um two last points i want to make we we 1:42:19 have a great team that you’ve built i want to especially acknowledge steve woodco this is a person that doesn’t 1:42:24 have to be doing what he’s doing he has a very good life in miami my hometown town as well he has worked incredibly 1:42:30 hard um has done it without any agenda and i i do we need to acknowledge him i want to acknowledge mr bouos as well who 1:42:37 did something really great last week they told us this war between the democr democratic republic of congo and rwanda 1:42:44 is an intractable it can never happen it will never happen i sent mr bulo as your envoy a week later i look on my schedule 1:42:50 the signing of a declaration of peace between the democratic republic of congo and rwanda we signed it at the state 1:42:56 department last week we hope it will lead now to a lasting permanent piece that we hope to invite them back to 1:43:02 washington to sign so two great and we have a lot of good people working on our teams as well but these are two great people uh mike waltz alluded to this 1:43:09 earlier and this is the last point in the first 100 days of the 47th presidency 47 wrongfully detained 1:43:16 americans have been returned to the united states thanks to your leadership and the diplomacy that was exercised to 1:43:22 make that happen 47 for the 47th president in the first 100 days and that’s all credit to you mr president 1:43:28 thank you for the honor to be able to serve alongside you for you and alongside all these excellent people 1:43:35 thank you very much marco really great job so you know i’ve been involved in a 1:43:40 lot of groups of people over the years good groups bad groups all types of groups but uh i have been involved in 1:43:48 some incredible groups but i’ve never been more proud and impressed frankly 1:43:54 impressed is uh maybe even more important but i’ve never been more proud or impressed than i am with this group 1:44:01 this is an amazing group of people but i hope some of those television cameras were blazing and it was on so people 1:44:07 could watch this because frankly uh you know no matter who you are no matter 1:44:12 where you come from this is an impressive group of people uh i sat around being somewhat competitive i said 1:44:19 “well let’s see who did the best job who did the worst job.” and i determined that everybody is like the same and 1:44:26 there was no worst job everybody was outstanding everybody did a job you couldn’t you couldn’t pick a winner uh 1:44:33 the only thing you can say is nobody did a bad job or even a fair job you’re outstanding and so i want to just 1:44:40 congratulate you all this is really something and you know we have a job to do we’ve done a lot of work in this hund 1:44:46 this 100 days we’ve uh established things that are going to start taking place in the next 100 days i want to see 1:44:52 what it’s going to be like i think we’re going to have to do this in a 100 days susie and uh we’re going to see some 1:44:59 very big results from the things that we’ve done but i just want to thank everybody this is really very impressive 1:45:05 and i hope the people at home got to see some of it nobody’s ever done public cabinet meetings they were quiet for a 1:45:13 reason because they weren’t impressive and uh especially in the last administration they were not impressed 1:45:20 but i i just want to say that we’re very proud of you and uh and i am in particular thank you all very much great 1:45:26 job and i think we’re gonna have some tremendous success for our country and i don’t know it it doesn’t seem like a 1:45:32 time to be asking questions that was so impressive that to be taking questions why did you do this why did you do that 1:45:40 it just doesn’t seem to be appropriate uh i guess we probably have to take a 1:45:45 couple because that was the purpose but if you’d like to ask some i think they should be very respectful questions at 1:45:52 this point this was a an amazing meeting and so if you’d like to ask a couple uh 1:45:57 if you’d like to pinpoint them to some of the secretaries etc yes would be fine yes secretary rubio can i ask you a 1:46:04 question um you brought up el salvador in your remarks have you been in touch with el salvador about returning garcia 1:46:10 as a formal request from this administration to make well i would never tell you that and you know who else i’ll never tell a judge because the 1:46:17 conduct of our foreign policy belongs to the president of the united states and the executive branch not some judge so we will conduct foreign policy 1:46:23 appropriately if we need to but i’ll never discuss it and no one will ever make us discuss it because that’s how 1:46:28 foreign policy works mr president mr president yesterday you told abc news mr president you told abc news yesterday 1:46:35 that you could get garcia back if you wanted to do you think president ble 1:46:40 would turn you down if you made that request i really don’t know i know that he’s been a great friend of our country 1:46:46 uh he’s gotten a lot less money than this would take from us if we were going to build these jails and do what he’s 1:46:52 doing and they run a very professional operation i don’t know i haven’t spoken 1:46:57 to him i really leave that to the lawyers and i take my advice from pam and everybody that is very much involved 1:47:04 they know the laws and we follow the laws exactly mr president 1:47:09 transition sir uh you frequently took credit for the stock market highs uh you 1:47:14 said it was a reflection of how well you were doing in the polls and then after you were elected you said the stock 1:47:20 market highs were a reflection of how well the transition’s going and the american people’s confidence in in your 1:47:26 incoming administration now stock market’s not doing so well and you’re saying that’s the biden stock market yet 1:47:33 you are the president can you explain that yeah i i’m not taking credit or discredit for the stock market i’m just 1:47:40 saying that we inherited a mess both at the borders you could look at every single one of the people here and no 1:47:47 matter who it is they’re doing better and they are far superior to uh what took place for four years before us when 1:47:54 you look at uh prisoners being allowed to come into our country at will just at 1:48:00 will uh people from mental institutions gang members drug dealers when you look at that what they’ve done to our country 1:48:07 and also having to do with finance look at what happened with inflation we had the worst inflation probably in the 1:48:14 history of our country they say 48 years but i would say in the history of our country it ate away at people and even 1:48:20 though you saw a stock market going up somewhat because in my case i had the biggest stock market increase 88% in the 1:48:28 last term in my last term but i don’t view the stock market as the end all it’s an indicator but what the stock 1:48:34 market really tells you and what you when you look at the stock market in this case is it says how bad a situation 1:48:42 we inherited i took place this was a quarter that we looked at today and i 1:48:47 took pl we took all of us together we came in on january 20th so this is biden 1:48:54 and you could even say the next quarter is sort of biden because it doesn’t just happen on a daily or an hourly basis but 1:49:00 we’re turning it around it’s a big ship to turn around and we’re going to have the greatest country financially in the 1:49:06 history of the world i believe i think we’re going to do things that and we had to do it we reset the 1:49:11 table every single country with just about without exception i i can i’d have 1:49:19 to really think hard for who hasn’t taken advantage and i don’t even blame those countries i blame the person that 1:49:25 was sitting right here where i am for allowing it to happen where our country was ripped off on trade hundreds of 1:49:32 billions of dollars and now we’re doing better than we’ve done in a long time you know we were losing four to five to 1:49:39 even six billion dollars a day on trade with biden and now we have it down to a 1:49:46 very manageable number and the tariffs for the most part haven’t even kicked in yet so uh that’s the way uh stock 1:49:54 markets to me are an indication but the big indication is what’s happening and the people around the table know what’s 1:50:02 happening is set to be signed in 24 hours or so is it true that the ukraine 1:50:08 minerals deal is about to be signed in the next 24 hours or so there’s some reports saying that and if it’s true has 1:50:13 the deal changed at all from the last time we’ve heard about it well i’ll ask scott to answer the question because he’s responsible for it yeah our side’s 1:50:20 ready to sign ukrainians decided last night to make some last minute changes we we’re sure that they will reconsider 1:50:27 that and we are ready to sign this afternoon if they are can you talk about those last minute changes what was 1:50:32 removed or put in its place nothing’s been removed it’s the same agreement that we agreed to on the weekend no 1:50:38 changes on our side just to put that in perspective though when i came here i 1:50:43 said “how much money have we given to ukraine?” the real number is about 1:50:49 $350 billion dollars that’s it’s unthinkable and we had no security we 1:50:55 had no nothing we just pouring money there unsecured money putting it in 1:51:00 banks and anybody could have taken it out you know anybody over there it was their decision i’ve never seen anything 1:51:06 like it uh europe on the other hand which it’s obviously that whole situation is much more important to 1:51:12 europe because we have an ocean in between but europe gave about a hundred billion dollars it’s a lot of money it’s 1:51:19 a big sacrifice they made also but they gave much less than we did and their 1:51:24 money is secured totally secured by deposits in banks the deposits are 1:51:30 largely russian deposits that’s what europe did but their money is secured so they gave a hundred billion totally 1:51:36 secured we gave money like it’s throwing it out the window and it was done by 1:51:43 biden and this is biden’s war this isn’t trump’s war i’m trying to get out and then more than the money they’re losing 1:51:49 about 5,000 young russian and ukrainian soldiers a week mostly there’s some people also being killed in towns where 1:51:57 missiles should not have been shot small cities and towns but we are trying to 1:52:04 save the lives of about 5,000 young mostly soldiers that are losing their 1:52:10 lives a week i see uh satellite photos probably off one of his satellites come 1:52:16 to think of it but i see satellite photos every week of fields with arms 1:52:21 and heads and legs scattered all over them it’s a violent violent horrible 1:52:27 situation and more important than the money i want to save the lives of people from other countries that are dying so 1:52:33 stupidly so needlessly and they’re dying but i said uh what what are we doing how 1:52:41 did we get into this war it would have never happened if i were president everybody knows and it didn’t happen for 1:52:46 four years wasn’t even thought of i discussed it with president putin a lot 1:52:52 ukraine it was the apple of his eye but there was no way he was going to do anything zero chance and i said you know 1:52:58 we feel foolish the europeans are putting up money it’s totally secure they get the money back we’re putting up 1:53:05 much more money we have absolutely nothing and i didn’t want to make a 1:53:11 complicated deal i i didn’t want to make a deal that couldn’t be made because ukraine doesn’t have very much money 1:53:17 they’re going through very bad period of time it’s been brutal but i i felt very 1:53:23 foolish being in charge so i said “well we want something for our efforts beyond 1:53:29 what you would think would be uh acceptable.” and we said rare earth they 1:53:34 have very good rare earth as you know we’re looking for rare earth all the time it’s rare earth is called rare for 1:53:42 a reason and uh they have a lot and we made a deal where our money is secure 1:53:48 where we can uh start digging and doing what we have to do it’s also good for 1:53:54 them because you’ll have an american presence at the site chris and the american presence will i think keep a 1:54:01 lot of bad actors out of the country or certainly out of the area where we’re doing the digging so we made a deal and 1:54:07 i assume they’re going to honor the deal i put scott in charge and scott’s done 1:54:13 it beautifully but we haven’t really seen the fruits of that deal yet uh i suspect we will i suspect we will mr 1:54:21 president sir mr president you had set a you had set a uh 1:54:26 90-day deadline during the executive order for secretary het and known to review whether to recommend to you 1:54:33 whether to invoke the insurrection act to send troops to the southern border is that something you’re still considering 1:54:39 well i’m talking to them and it’s not hard and fast but i’m talking to them 1:54:44 and i will tell you that uh the border is the most secure it’s ever been we 1:54:49 have never had anything like it and when uh when you said christie 1:54:55 before it’s 99.999 and uh i guess that means one person 1:55:00 maybe or two people it’s actually turned out to be three people came across the border versus hundreds of thousands of 1:55:06 people under biden and we’re talking about people coming look people we they have they have souls they have hearts 1:55:13 many of them are good but we have a country that’s under siege we have a 1:55:18 country that really is under i i think it’s under attack in many ways worse than under attack because there are no 1:55:25 uniforms you don’t know who the attacker is so you really don’t it’s not like you’re fighting an army you’re fighting 1:55:30 people you don’t even know who they are but 11,888 murderers many of them murdered 1:55:38 far more than one person are roaming now some of them have already been caught a lot of them have already been caught and 1:55:44 taken out but we’re being impeded by judges from doing our job and hopefully 1:55:50 that situation’s going to be uh solved because i think nobody wants to have murderers and people from jail and and i 1:55:56 mean for serious serious crime i remember the biden people used to say no 1:56:02 these are uh aliens that came into our country and they don’t commit crime i said they don’t commit crime they commit 1:56:08 worse crime they make our criminals some of these people that they’ve allowed in through open border policies the dumbest 1:56:15 thing i’ve ever seen you can look at some of these people and you say “this is not going to end well.” but the 1:56:22 people that they’ve allowed into our country are making our criminals look like the 1:56:28 nicest people on earth i will tell you these are serious criminals these are violent criminals these are people that 1:56:34 would kill you and wouldn’t lose an ounce of sleep and they wake up the next morning and they don’t even remember it 1:56:40 this is a rough rough tough group of people and we’ve got to get them out of our country and the law says i believe i 1:56:48 hope and i think pam will be very successful in proving it but we’ve run into i would call them rogue judges 1:56:55 somebody could criticize me for that these are rogue judges these are radical left generally radical left horrible 1:57:02 judges and we didn’t lose uh all of these people you know we’ve lost a lot 1:57:08 of people to death and to uh rape all sorts of crimes committed by the people 1:57:15 that poured into our our country and they came in totally unimpeded just come 1:57:21 on in and you see it every night you’d see thousands and tens of thousands of people pouring into our country we have 1:57:28 no idea who they are and to this day we’re looking for people we have no idea we 1:57:35 hear that we have terrorists in our country that are so bad they couldn’t stay in any other country but we’re 1:57:40 getting them out and uh the group between pete and christy and tom holman 1:57:46 and everybody working together people that you would least suspect are reporting them getting and the public is 1:57:52 reporting them the public is seeing the public is calling and they’re saying you know i live in a house and next to me 1:57:58 moved in a group of people and they are very violent and would go and would find out and would say yeah you’re right they 1:58:05 were really violent and we have information on most of them so i just 1:58:10 think it’s incredible what’s taken place but we right now have a very very secure border right now we have the most secure 1:58:16 border in the history of our country so i don’t think we have to worry about your question too 1:58:21 prime minister of canada against not only against the conservatives but also against you uh 1:58:29 yesterday yeah and uh yesterday he spoke about american betrayal are you 1:58:35 interested in rebuilding relations with canada and if so how no well i think 1:58:40 we’re going to have a great relationship he called me up yesterday he said “let’s make a deal.” you know he he was running 1:58:46 for office they were both they both hated trump and it was the one that hated trump i think the least that won i 1:58:53 actually think the conservative hated me much more than the uh than the so-called liberal he’s a pretty liberal guy but no 1:59:00 i spoke to him yesterday couldn’t have been nicer and i congratulated him you know they it was a very mixed uh signal 1:59:07 because it’s almost even which makes it very complicated for the country it’s pretty tight race but he’s a very nice 1:59:15 gentleman and we uh he’s going to come to the white house very shortly within 1:59:20 the next week or less mr president speaks to president xi of 1:59:26 china i mean look right now and i told you before they’re having tremendous 1:59:31 difficulty because their factories are not doing business uh they made a 1:59:37 trillion dollars with with biden a trillion dollars even a trillion one uh 1:59:42 with biden selling us stuff much of it we don’t need you know somebody said “oh the shelves are going to be open.” well 1:59:49 maybe the children will have two dolls instead of 30 dolls you know and maybe the two dolls will cost a couple of 1:59:55 bucks more than they would normally but uh we’re not talking about something that we have to go out of our way they 2:00:01 have ships that are loaded up with stuff much of which not all of it but much of which we don’t need and we have to make 2:00:09 a fair deal we’ve been ripped off by every country in the world but china i would say is the leading the leading one 2:00:17 the leading uh candidate for the chief ripper offer there has never been there has 2:00:25 never been a country that’s been ripped off more than the united states of america under some of the dumbest 2:00:32 leadership and it usually starts with the president and you can go back and i’m not just talking about biden it’s 2:00:38 been the worst i mean the trade deficits and everything else he’s been the worst but but he he had no idea what he was 2:00:45 doing and i i think somebody ought to look at the auto pen to find out who was really running this country because it 2:00:50 wasn’t biden because nobody could agree to what he agreed to mr 2:00:56 president he put our country at risk at tremendous risk and fiscal risk 2:01:02 financial risk so i think we have it very much i really believe that the next 2:01:07 hundred days is going to be uh even better than this look i read an 2:01:13 editorial yesterday from a group that normally wouldn’t write a good that this is the most consequential presidency in 2:01:19 history in the history of our country this is not a particular group that would write that kind of an editorial 2:01:26 but they see what we’re doing and and what we had to do and i believe if this group not just me if this group wasn’t 2:01:34 here i think our country was going to be in uh if it was lucky just serious 2:01:39 trouble but a lot worse than that i think our country could have been in total disaster bad things were happening 2:01:45 with our country and we’ve we’ve stemmed the tide we’ve turned it around but we’re going to really turn it around 2:01:51 over the next over the next three years three and a half years we’re going to turn it around and then hopefully it’ll 2:01:56 be in such great shape that’s my goal to put it in such great condition that it 2:02:01 can’t be destroyed do you 2:02:07 believe you mentioned this last night in your speech in that we’re facing an unprecedented situation where there’s a 2:02:13 lot of abuses of nationwide injunctions sort of seemingly designed to curtail 2:02:18 your power uh specifically when it comes to deporting these illegal violent aliens that came in under the previous 2:02:25 administration have you spoken to your team about ways to mitigate this and continue to deliver to the american people well there are ways to mitigate 2:02:32 it and there’s some very strong ways there’s one way that’s been used by three very highly respected presidents 2:02:38 but we hope we don’t have to go that route but there is one way that has been used very successfully by three 2:02:44 presidents all highly respected and hopefully we don’t have to go that way 2:02:49 but there are ways of mitigating that i want to thank you all very much i thought this was an incredible cabinet 2:02:55 meeting i think there probably has never been a cabinet meeting like this you’ve never seen it on tape that i can tell 2:03:01 you and i want to just congratulate everybody at the table but we have a lot of work to do but we’re off to a great 2:03:07 start thank you very much every mr president’s back 2:03:14 thank you everybody i like i like my life i’m working hard but i like it because we’re doing a lot 2:03:20 of good for a lot of people thank you very much thank you
