Enhance Your English with U.S. Government News – Trump Participates in a Cabinet Meeting, 2025. 4. 30. (Part 2)

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
