their president president Molino sends his regards very complimentary of the US as he's a great ally and I think he he they want the communist Chinese out and with our troops there partnering with their forces uh we've got a chance to push them all the way out sir we've moved a lot of troops to Panama and uh filled up some areas that we used to have and we didn't have any longer but we have them now and I think it's in very good control right yes sir okay thank you Pete very good Howard so um so we've uh have so many countries to talk to it is uh it's incredible i think Scott and I uh I'm not sure we could ever have enough time in the day to talk to all these countries because they want to talk and they want to talk now and uh and they have come with offers that they never ever ever would have come with for uh the moves that the president has made uh demanding that people treat the United States with respect we're getting the respect we deserve now and I think you're going to see historic deals one after the other and then I'm very excited that uh within a week and a half we're going to start with the gold card and the Trump card is coming out and we're very excited about that and that's uh coming soon so uh very excited good thank you very much good job Linda well on a couple of fronts um we have been addressing the issue of anti-semitism on campuses uh there's been some grant funding and contract funding that we've reviewed and um some cancelled and some we've put on hold waiting for that uh while we do an investigation on the other side of what my responsibilities are and uh having education go back to the states we're meeting and talking with governors i was with uh this week all 50 um commissioners of education around the country and uh because we also want to provide them with tools and best practices as education does move back to the states making great progress great response from the states and uh very positive and what about colleges you're holding back 400 million from Colombia 8 billion from Harvard can you imagine the money we pay Harvard they have a $60 billion fund and we're giving them8 billion dollars and we're trying to figure that out and then they hire Delasio the worst mayor in the history of New York and they hire the woman from Chicago who was a disaster total disaster and they pay him massive salaries and they're supposed to be teaching you government that's not Harvard that's not Harvard the way it used to be so do you have anything to say about that the the uh dollars you're holding back from quite a few universities that were not behaving yeah and the other uh there's some Princeton Cornell others that are coming in and actually getting calls now from the presidents of the universities who really do want to come in and sit down and have discussions and so uh we're investigating them but in the meantime we're we're holding we're holding back the grant and the fund money okay great job thank you very thankful for the House voting for the president's uh budget resolution along with the Senate bill um made a ton of progress this week in working with members uh to ensure that a a desire for flexibility in the Senate was not misconstrued as a desire not to slow uh and do spending reforms and so we're very thankful for that um and now we can get after writing that bill getting the president as as big a package of his agenda to his desk a very good week good that's right we just got the House vote and now we're well on our way to getting as we call it the big the great big beautiful bill it's a beauty there's never been a bill like this one we're trying to get it all into one beautiful bill it's uh tax cuts regulation cuts and many other things uh the border a lot of money for the border uh you're doing a fantastic job so uh but we just got a report that we as you know you knew before us were you surprised we got the vote got the vote and we're happy to get the vote so uh uh the Chinese received 1,700 orders for new ships american shipyards received five under your leadership like so many other industries we are going to revitalize and make ship building and maritime great again with these bluecollar jobs uh these are the cranes the ports opportunity zones and drive that investment back in we have uh under that executive order and also one to streamline foreign military sales uh for people that want to buy our equipment and of course acquisition reform all just this week under your leadership Mr president so we're going to be rebuilding our ship building business we may order we'd have to go to Congress for this but we may buy some ships from other countries that uh we're close to and that do great jobs with ships but we're going to uh start the process of rebuilding we don't really essentially build ships anymore which is ridiculous uh it's going to be a very big business for us in the not too distant future but in the meantime uh we have uh we have countries that do very well at building ships and we'll be dealing with those countries and we may be ordering top-of-the-line ships from those countries and within a fairly short period of time we'll be building our own ships so we'll probably have to go to Congress for that but uh we'll have no we're not going to have a problem susie thank you very much for the job you've done go ahead please i just want to make sure you know that this cabinet I think pretty uniquely collaborates and cooperates and works together um to accomplish all that you've you've asked them to do and uh I think they they deserve a lot of credit for that true they're doing a great job the chief chief of staff doing a great job lee go ahead mr president the Biden EPA was strangulating the economy the Trump EPA understands it's not a binary choice we could protect the environment and grow the economy uh working with Doge and uh and Elon Musk we've now canled $22 billion dollar worth of grants uh and we have launched what is the largest deregulatory action in the history of the country just in one agency that's how much of a mess the Biden EPA left us uh it is going to end up reducing the cost of living it's going to create jobs it's going to make it easier to purchase a car it will be easier to heat your home uh we're proud of this uh effort the the effort that we have is fulfilling the mandate that you earned from the American public clean air land and water for all Americans unleashing energy dominance permanent reform advancing cooperative federalism making America the AI capital of the world and bringing back American auto jobs uh when you called me uh that day asking for me to take this position I was honored uh and you were very specific and and clear in what you wanted us to accomplish uh we understand our mission and uh at the Trump EPA we're going to make you proud great job you're doing a great job and you have a lot of applications for approvals for power plants which are going to really power the the regular plants and they're going to be right next to each other because we can't rely on our grid is old and it's tired and it's you know very very uh subject to being attacked whether by rain or by bombs or by anything else and we're letting people build their own power plants and these are a lot of them being built with the AI and beyond the AI chips and we're letting them build their own power and never been done before and we're going to get it done quickly and approved quickly as part of a plant they'll have a uh sort of be their own power company and it's very exciting they couldn't believe it when I told them that i said "We're gonna get you the approvals very fast as part of your regular plant you're going to build electric producing plants and it's very exciting and uh they're able to do it very quickly and uh very well and you made it possible thank you you have a lot of applications for for some of the biggest plants that have ever been built in the world these are serious these are serious plans aren't they approved approved approved we are open for business working with Secretary Bergam Secretary Wright we are going to make you proud sean first off Mr president is it's Brook's birthday today so keep getting younger so happy birthday to to Brooke thank you um I want to thank you as well for the the ship building at Eio again to build ships you also need mariners to sail those ships elves just up at Kings Point uh for the Merchant Marine Academy uh a couple a couple days ago and we have some of the greatest young men and women who are learning uh how to be mechanical engineers to to to rebuild and fix uh the the engines on those ships but also how to sail ships i would tell you that uh over the past decades this academy has become it needs some love it's been a little bit dilapitated uh we have to invest uh in sailors uh and I appreciate you taking the initiative to be a global power we have to build ships and have sailors to sail those ships these are the very people that help Pete should we come into points of crisis to support the military so thank you for that uh number two uh the last administration announced 3,200 projects big beautiful roads and bridges most of them are good um but they announced them they didn't sign a grant agreement 3,200 so the money doesn't go out the door to to build the infrastructure in the country and it's fun to do an an announcement it's actually the harder work to to put together these grant agreements so we're doing the work right now at DOT to get these grant agreements done and build the projects most of them are good and they also put in all of this green and social justice requirements on roads and bridges we're we're pulling all that out and putting the money toward the infrastructure not the the the social movement from the last administration good steel right as opposed to green paperiermâché good thanks great job uh sir first we are I would say more than friends we've all become family and uh I think that what you have assembled in your vision is a turning point and an inflection point in American history and so just being a part of that is the greatest honor so thank you for that and and again just the the relationships here and the honor and respect we have for each other is a reflection of you and your leadership so I just want to say that first the second thing I want to say is that on behalf of the farmers and ranchers food security is national security we have to be able to feed ourselves and your idea of using tariffs along with deregulation and tax cuts but your idea of using tariffs to ensure that we are putting forward and putting America first no one understands that better than our farmers and our ranchers but having said that emerging from four years of Biden with a 30% increase in inputs for our farmers and ranchers with an almost $50 billion trade deficit when we left the first time it was zero meaning that they are hurting so the the the period of uncertainty we're in um they know that your vision will move us into an age of prosperity um for all Americans but for for my people for the farmers and ranch and ranchers unlike any they have seen before and I think they are really really excited and so grateful for your leadership but also you have never failed to say that you have the backs of our farmers and our ranchers it was the first phone call that I had after I was after I was voted with the Senate and uh and that message just resonates with an almost 85% support of you in the last election there with you interestingly the biggest budget driver at the United States Department of Agriculture is not farming and ranching or agriculture it's food stamps and so as we emerge and embark Secretary Kennedy and I on your vision of making America healthy again a massive part of that is realigning and and reworking our food stamp program so that it better serves those who need it and yeah to the point of getting the transgender DEI Green New Deal out of the USDA and realigning is really important so out of the military right is it 100% that would you say 99.9 sir i'm gonna get that last point but thank you sir we've got a much different military I will tell you thanks very much good job and eggs are down big right yes yes sir wholesale prices retail will come easter is the Super Bowl for eggs so you know there may be a little fluctuation but no we feel really good about it thank you that's what I hear thank you thank you good i'd echo what Howard said on the trade cube that we've got over 75 countries that want to come in so it'll be Treasury Commerce Jameson at USR and we're putting a process in place and as you said uh you're going to be part of the negotiations too because you know I I've had these countries call me up and Secretary Bess we're happy you're going to be negotiating well President Trump's going to be involved too the uh bring bring your best deal uh on the on the bud the on the budget uh it's moving quickly in the House and the Senate thanks to your leadership we're also going to have debt ceiling in there so we are going to get an increase in the debt ceiling so and that will be the uh done and dusted for part of the bill that we just got a vote on today part of the bill it'll be done and dusted for two years we won't have to worry about that and then they I gave a speech yesterday to 1,400 small and community bankers and they were so happy to hear from your administration and I told them Wall Street's done great for the past four years 10 years 20 years it can continue doing great but it's Main Street's turn now and it's those small bankers through deregulation through emphasis the on main street your Main Street agenda bringing back jobs that is going to power the uh the smaller communities and then finally uh the bond auction went very well yesterday we had uh a lot of foreigners show up as the support showing that the US is still the best place to invest the inflation report as you said was quite good and energy prices are down more than 20% the since January 20th amazing that's great good good numbers great number thank you ma'am president we've got had some great wins in the last few days that you know you were overwhelmingly elected by the biggest majority the US um Americans want you to be president because of your agenda and the courts are ruling that you have the authority to determine how the money of this country will be spent that's what the American citizens wanted and that's what they're getting an example of that Friday was the Department of Education that you can determine how the money will be spent no more DEI and that impacts every agency across the board um on the civil side again NLRB u we had a big win in the Supreme Court there um OPM a big win there but also 16,000 workers there but also on the criminal side the alien enemies act we are winning there and you know your your directive to me was to keep America safe and that's what we're doing whether it's the alien enemies all of these gangs and they are enemies of our country they are terrorists they are organized crime they have come here they are extremely organized they are spread throughout our country and they are creating terror and no more under your directive and that stopped yesterday in South Florida we charged 11 defendants with half a billion dollars of pure cocaine coming into our country to kill our kids they were caught they will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law these gang members are going back to where they came or they're going to an El Salvador prison at your directive and you know you also gave us a directive to prosecute the people who are going after Tesla to the fullest extent of the law some of the greatest police work I've seen we've made four arrests there will be no negotiations at your directive they're all looking at 20 years in prison and when within the next 24 hours you're going to be seeing another huge arrest on a Tesla dealership president and that that person will be looking at at least 20 years in prison with no negotiations that's great that's great that will stop it cold thanks doing a great job too thank you very much lori please mr president accountability matters that's what we're recognizing with our partners uh at the Department of Labor for Government Efficiency just a few weeks ago we realized there's about $4.4 billion in CO funds that were not used that the state coffers were just holding on to out of that we've returned$ 1.4 billion back to the state treasury so essentially to the American people and we'll go back and claw the rest of those billions of dollars back um and on the heels of that last night late last night we're understanding uh unemployment insurance fraud uh that trust needs to be whole for the American people when we need it we need it for who deserves it that's not what we're seeing and the numbers that we saw last night again exposed by our partners in at Doge at the Department of Labor since 2020 over $400 million of payments have gone out already um and when you hear these numbers apparently in the United States we have over almost 25,000 people who are over 115 years old who are collecting 59 million that we have sent out to people um talk about fraudulent behavior um Mr president 28,000 people between 1 and 5 years old have collected fraudulent payments at the tune of 254 million has gone out and lastly 10,000 people who have not been born yet 15 years into the future $69 million and they haven't even been born yet when in one case they will be born 129 years from now the United States government sent them $41,000 and they're not born yet so under the Department of Labor those are the things that we're uncovering i couldn't be more honored to tell the American people that we're bringing back their dollars and we're saving them and returning them to the United States Treasury um also jobs numbers last Friday 228,000 new jobs were reported that is good for the American people that is my primary job is to grow that workforce under your leadership so we've kicked off the America at Work Tour and we'll be visiting all 50 states and I'll be working with my colleagues here um to do just that so thank you Mr president uh we're going to grow this economy we're going to keep our focus on the American worker so you're finding tremendous fraud though those numbers are really bad when you unheard of over 115 years old and I think uh you had mentioned the oldest person in our country is 114 years old that's pretty good woman living in Pennsylvania but apparently there's 24,000 more of them that are 115 or older that were I hope you hear that so we have 24,000 older than the oldest person definitely dead and what are we doing about that how do we get that money back yes so we're working with our IGs to do that further investigation um the House and Senate um we had a fiveyear statute of limitations um we've got an extension on that another five years and so the goal in my opinion we should never have a statute of limitations to return the American dollars back to the Treasury when there's fraud but at this point we will continue to work hard and double down and return that those dollars to the Treasury great thank you great job well Mr president thank you for your leadership at the border for the second month in a row you have broken the record in the history of the nation for the lowest number of encounters at the border um which is absolutely remarkable you have uh said that America's laws matter and that they'll be enforced and we're hard at work now to get people to go back home that are here illegally so the Alien Registration Act has been in place long enough now that those individuals that are here illegally if they haven't registered um then they can be charged criminally and they can face fines up to a thousand dollars a day um and face deportation if they don't go home and they'll never get the chance to come back to America so we're encouraging people to use the CBP home app to register and we're working on the resources and funding to buy them a plane ticket to send them home uh I went to El Salvador Colombia and Mexico and those countries and others are thinking about setting up programs to support these individuals when they get back to their countries so when they get there they'll have housing and food assistance and so making sure that these folks have the opportunity to go home so that they can get the chance to come back to America is important so it's a very big selfport operation that we're starting thousands of people have already self-epported we're just going to we had 20 21 million people that need to go home because they're here breaking our laws then we need to facilitate that and I've been working with the governors a lot lately uh on several different issues one of them has been on FEMA for recommendations on how to do exactly what you've directed us to do and then also I sent a letter and communicated with them that they need to be setting up a skiff some of our governors don't have secure facilities to have national security issues i think one of the jobs homeland security has is is to give communication down to states to local cities and communities and so recommending they get a skiff they have secure comms with them at all times or nearby so that they can have national security conversations and then to have somebody in their office designated that is their communications person a lot of them have emergency management officers but they don't necessarily have somebody designated when it comes to a national security issue that we may need to communicate with them on and I think American people need to know that Real ID will be required to travel on May 7th so um those governors have been notified to communicate that at home we don't want anybody to get delayed and not be able to travel when they get to an airport uh and this will also help us bring integrity back to all of our IDs and how they're used how they're used for issuing driver's licenses and governors know how I feel about making sure their driver's licensing system has integrity because a lot of people use their driver's license to vote and the backbone of our country and the foundation is election integrity so um we're giving all those directions u to our governors and communicating that so they can lead on it as well and we're going to work with people so that if they go out in a nice way go back to their country we're going to work with them right from the beginning on trying to get them back in legally is that right so it gives you real incentive otherwise they'd never come back they'll never be allowed once a certain period of time goes by which is probably going to be 60 days we're also going to work with farmers that if they have strong recommendations for their farms uh for certain people we're going to let them stay in for a while and work with the farmers and then come back and go through a process a legal process but we have to take care of our farmers and hotels and you know various various places where they're use where they need the people and uh we're going to be working with you very carefully on that so a farmer will come in with a letter concerning certain people saying they're great they're working hard uh we're going to slow it down a little bit for them and then we're going to ultimately bring them back they'll go out they're going to come back as legal workers okay yes sir thank you which I think it'll be a I think it's very important to do okay thank you very much great job Jameus i watched you testify for the last Yeah he did couple of days you're on every night at 3:00 in the morning and you did great you were fantastic thank you very much it's just what I like to do for fun sir you've been keeping us very busy last week you started a reordering of international trade something that hasn't happened for 80 years something that should have happened decades ago and you know that you've known that for a long time that's why you have us all working on this uh you came into an emergency situation where President Biden left us with a $1.2 trillion trade deficit it's the largest of any country in human history the largest so you declared an emergency you took action you said the largest in history right in history there's never There's never been anything like what he left us um he left us a mess his whole administration was a mess so go ahead so So you declared an emergency you imposed a trade action so now you have a tariff on the world it promotes US manufacturing it protects US workers and you've also given room for negotiation during this time so we can open export markets for our farmers and other producers and American workers and this is why the unions vote for you this is why the workers vote for you this is why the families want you to be the president because you're standing up for American workers and American communities we've had countries come in over the past couple of weeks that represent more than half of global domestic uh GDP more than half that's who's coming in to talk to you and to your uh your adviserss about how to how to have reciprocal trade how to have fair trade wouldn't have happened without you thank you very much great job lovely lot uh well thanks to uh your fantastic leadership this amazing cabinet and the very talented Doge team i'm excited to announce that uh we we we anticipate savings in FY26 from reduction of waste and fraud by $150 billion and uh I mean and and some of it is just absurd like people getting unemployment insurance who haven't been born yet i mean I think anyone can appreciate whether I mean come on that's just crazy um so uh you know some of these things people ask me like well how are you going to find waste and fraud in the f in the government i'm like well actually just go in any direction that's how you find it um it's just it's very common it's it's as the military would say target rich environment no doubt so um so I think we're doing a a lot of good in in an excellent collaboration with cabinet uh to achieve these savings um and it will actually result in better services for the American people um and that we're going to be spending their tax dollars in a way that is sensible and and fair and good and your people are fantastic in fact hopefully they'll stay around for the long haul we'd like to keep as many as we can they're great smart sharp right finding things that nobody would have thought of very computer savvy yes work work hard to get that that the Trump gold card uh operational hopefully in the next week or so that'll be That'll be very exciting really exciting that's a pathway to citizenship into the United States it's a big deal yep it's a big deal thank you very much great job you're doing thank you sir thanks to your leadership and setting the mandate of transparency and accountability across the US government um I'm bringing that transparency and accountability to the intelligence community first and foremost to make sure that you and your cabinet have that real time relevant apolitical objective intelligence to best inform whether it's negotiations for peace negotiations around tariffs uh the great work that that you are leading around uh the cabinet today uh secondly working with Department of Homeland Security and the FBI to increase our information sharing to achieve your goal of countering the narcotic trafficking uh and the uh our ability to go after cartels now designated as foreign terrorists i met with the National Sheriff's Association this week uh being able to work to make sure that the information that they are getting on the ground that local law enforcement is getting on the ground is being fed back up through to our National Counterterrorism Center and that we have all of the federal agencies state and local law enforcement all on the same page as we are working uh to make our country safe again uh and lastly sir as you know declassification and rooting out weaponization and politicization of the intelligence community uh is a huge priority you know more than anyone else uh the very dangerous and negative consequences of that i've got a long list of things that we're investigating we have the best of the best going after this uh election integrity being one of them uh we have uh evidence of of how these electronic voting systems have been vulnerable to hackers for a very long time uh and vulnerable to exploitation to manipulate the results of the votes being cast which further drives forward your mandate to bring about paper ballots across the country so that voters can have faith in the integrity of our elections uh and lastly we've been scanning i've had over hundred people working around the clock to scan the uh paper around RFK uh Senator Robert F kennedy's assassination as well as Martin Luther King Jr.'s assassination these have been sitting in boxes in storage for decades they have never been scanned or seen before we'll have those ready to release here within the next few days that's great bobby how do you feel about that that's hitting I'm very gratified that's hitting close to home Mr when you think I'm thinking about Bobby when he when that statements made i'm very grateful to you Mr president and you'll let Bobby see some of this because you know it's very personal stuff but it's time i I've asked him I've asked him and his response is put it out the world needs to know the truth and his uncle that's been out and anything that hasn't been out will they can go to your offices and see right everything that we have within our possession it's either online or it's physically at the National Archives and Records Agency we also have hunters going out Mr president uh and looking in the storage lockers at FBI and CIA and other agencies uh specifically to find if there are if there is anything else that has not been reported we're actively going out and trying to search out the truth okay yeah we want to get it all out yes 100% good thank you very much good job mr mr president on behalf of America's manufacturers I want to thank you for standing up to the Chinese Communist Party and and fighting for our uh main streets for our workers and for those that make things in America i'm out on a made in America manufacturing tour and as I go across the country people are grateful to have a president who's not just fighting on the tariffs fronts but to get inflation down to create jobs after Biden destroyed 110,000 manufacturing jobs in just his last year you've already brought back thousands and thousands of manufacturing jobs so the American worker is grateful main Street is grateful for you and at the agency level we're making sure that manufacturers have access to the capital they need but we can't do that if we're not fighting fraud so we've uh modified our uh loan applications to have citizenship verification to make sure we have birth dates common uh sense principles around lending that uh the Biden administration had waved they waved $450 million of fees in one year we're restoring that but the American taxpayer and the American taxpayer as tax day approaches April 15th they need to know that this cabinet this administration and thank you Elon Musk and Doge for fighting for the American taxpayer to make sure that their hard-earned dollars are well spent that they have a return on investment for this country and that we're fighting for them just as you are every single day so thank you Mr president thank you very much Mr president we're doing we are working at HHS to advance your agenda to make America healthy again i'm working with Lee Zelden to reassess the fluoride rules based upon the uh the August release by the National Toxicity Program of new science that shows a direct inverse correlation between exposure to fluoride and IQ loss particularly in children lee and I were in Utah this week utah to announce that Utah became the first state in the country to ban supplemental fluoride i'm working with Brook on uh and governors now in 24 states who are advancing maja legislation to get soda pops off of the food stamp program off the SNAP program we've launched Operation Stor chemicals out of baby formula we're working with governors across the country to get good food into the school lunch programs and to get rid of food chemical dyes and other bad chemicals that are in our food we've shown now that this directly affects academic performance violence in the schools and mental health as well as uh physical health we are working with governors across the country to get celltoell or bell-toell legislation to restrict the use of cell phones in schools which again dramatically impacts academic performance uh we today we announced a dramatic reduction in animal testing at NIH and FDA we're going to switch over to AI which we've now found is much more precise in identifying the impacts of toxics in various products we're working with the Elon who's done an incredible job to eliminate the redundancies and to streamline operations at all the health agencies and to recalibrate our trajectory to your agenda of making America healthy again and um and finally on the the CDC has done an amazing job at getting the measles outbreak under control we have about 680 cases now in 22 states um compared to the same outbreak in Europe which is 127,000 cases and 37 deaths our numbers in this country have now plateaued and uh and I want to thank CDC for that um and we're trying to refocus the press we've had three measles deaths in this country over 20 years and we're trying to refocus the press to get them to pay attention to the chronic disease epidemic as you've asked us to we have now 38% of American youth are pre-diabetic this was unknown 30 years ago every child that becomes diabetic there should be a headline about them we have 100 million adults who are pre-diabetic or diabetic and uh and we have as you uh we have now the autism rates have gone from now most recent numbers we think are going to be about 1 in 31 from one in 12 so they're going up again from 1 in 10,000 when I was a kid and we are going at your direction we are going to know by September we've launched a massive uh uh testing and research effort that's going to involve hundreds of scientists from around the world by September we will know what has caused the autism epidemic and we'll be we'll be able to eliminate those exposures so big think of that so it was 1 in 10,000 children had autism and now it's 1 in 31 not 31,000 31 that is a hor that's a horrible statistic isn't it and there's got to be something artificial out there that's doing this so you think you're going to have a pretty good idea huh we will not by September there there will be no bigger news conference than that so that's that's it if you can come up with that answer where you stop taking something you stop eating something or maybe it's a shot but something's causing it it can't be it can't be uh from 10,000 to Can you imagine that Marco that's a big That's a big number thank you very much you're doing great thank you Bobby please well Mr president uh one of your primary uh administration goals is to make sure that we uh unleash American energy and of course the strategy behind that is when we do that uh it helps make it more affordable for all Americans energy isn't just a industry it is the foundation of every other industry whether it's food manufacturing uh clothing transportation uh and then also when we've got the ability to generate and not just be energy independent but energy dominant then we have the opportunity to sell energy to our friends and allies versus them buy it from our adversaries and our adversaries were funding uh terrorism and conflicts uh against uh our allies uh by their oil and gas sales that were going through uh a Swiss chief set of sanctions so with your creation of the National Energy Dominance Council over the half the people at this table serve on that everyone has been engaged uh whether it's interactions with negotiations with other countries with uh putting sanctions in place that actually work uh with cutting deregulation uh working on on on bofuels building infrastructure for transportation there's a whole range of things that that are being tackled but when and the pro the outcome of all that is is that you're the Biden administration was restricting supply you're increasing supply when you increase supply then prices start to come down and we have huge opportunity uh to do this uh just in interior alone there's 500 million acres of surface 700 million acres of subsurface and 2.5 billion acres of offshore and the Biden administration was trying to restrict this so that you couldn't you know you couldn't get a timber leash you couldn't cut a tree you couldn't graze a cow uh you couldn't develop oil and gas minerals and you couldn't develop the critical minerals we need uh for our technology for our defense industries uh and and to be able to uh help us win the AI arms race against China so we're opening up this and with your executive orders and your work we've we've uh on Tuesday historic day you you ended the war on beautiful clean coal uh which has been going on since Obama took office uh China gets 60% of their electricity from coal uh they're they're opening up a uh they've opened up 94 gawatts of coal in the last year as part of this AI arms race 94 gigawatts that's enough for 94 Denvers uh to be able to one one gawatt per metro area like that it's unheard of so what we we have an opportunity under your leadership to come back the Gulf of America had its first offshore lease sale uh which is scheduled for later this year but that was the industry loved that because we're now the Gulf of America is now open for business again and and there's the as much as seven uh billion barrels of oil uh accessible now they've increased the the uh upside of what they think that is on the coal front the estimate is the financial value of the coal in America is $8 trillion uh that was an asset on the balance sheet that we've now being put back on again and of course in Alaska with your separate executive orders to unleash Alaska Energy uh between Anoir the North Slope the the Strategic Petroleum Reserve Alaska all of those uh we've reversed Biden decision those are all open for business again uh and and all of this is leading to the uh to the investment coming to America the smart money is coming to the US that's why we've got you know trillions of dollars of investment that is showing up at the door because they know if they're going to do manufacturing here there's going to be energy to power their plants and so again thank you for your leadership and thank you for everything you're doing very good thank you Margaret well Mr president the one of the most important things I believe you'll achieve in your presidency is is is reordering the world in a proper way for 31 years more than 31 years now multiple administrations have allowed the Chinese to de-industrialize this country to take away jobs and factories and the pillars of our national strength and what you're doing now I think is a great service to our country but ultimately to the world and I want to congratulate you and your team that's working on that because it has extraordinary geopolitical uh implications as you see from all these other countries that are now coming here and wanting to join something that actually it's just it's crazy to allow these I mean basically we lived in a world where country company Chinese companies can do whatever they want in America but our companies cannot do anything over there unless they allow it and even then they steal our stuff and reverse engineer it so just reordering all of that has dramatic implications on the on peace and security of the world so we thank you an important meeting thanks to you is going to happen on Saturday for the first time in a long time there'll be direct talks between Ambassador Whitov and a top level leader in Iran we hope that'll lead to peace you've been very clear what Iran is never going to have as a nuclear weapon and I think that's what led to this meeting and we'll wait for him to come back from it and we're hopeful about that i would also say that we are receiving and I think Department of Homeland Security can confirm this historic cooperation from countries all over the world number one in taking back their citizens every country in the world has to take back people that are illegally in another country and we have countries that refuse to do it or would kind of ignore our calls all of them are doing it the ones that are not are paying a price and we've also found cooperation in other countries that are willing to take some of these people some very dangerous criminals i know the president El Salvador will be here next week has really been a good friend to the United States in that regard these are some of the worst people you'll ever encounter and and Pam knows this and Christie knows this from the work they're doing um you know and uh and one last point I want to make Mr president and again it's under your leadership it's actually under your executive order if you come to this country as a student we expect you to go to class and study and get a degree if you come here to like vandalize a library take over a campus and do all kinds of crazy things you know we're going to get rid of these people and we're going to continue to do it so when we identify lunatics like these we take away their student visa no one's entitled to a student visa the press covers student visas like they're some sort of birthright no a student visa is like me inviting you into my home if you come into my home and put all kinds of crap on my couch I'm going to kick you out of my house and and and so you know that's what we're doing with our country thanks to the president and last but not least very important development this week but both Pam and I were very excited the finest higher education institution in the United States University of Florida is also now the national champions in basketball we hope you'll host them here soon Mr president go Gators they're coming they're coming good for the SEC they're coming very soon congratulations well thank you very much you're really doing a great job we appreciate it any question mr mr president can you give us a reaction to today's stock market drop and also give us a sense of the next steps with China well I haven't seen it because I've been here for two and a half hours so I'll I'll be saying it i think Scott went out scott you want to have a statement on that sure look the up two down one is not a bad ratio or up 10 down five uh and I think as we have talked about as we go through the queue and settle with these countries who are going to bring us their best offers we will end up uh in a place of great certainty over the next 90 days on on tariffs but we had very good inflation numbers today oil oil oil's down we had a successful bond market so I don't think see anything unusual today and next steps for China sir well we'll see what happens with China we would love to be able to work a deal they've really taken advantage of our country for a long period of time they've ripped us off beyond anybody nobody how people stood for it sitting in my position is not even believable and we're talking about many presidents not just a couple but they did and uh all we're doing is putting it back in shape we're resetting the table and I'm sure that we'll be able to get along very well i have great respect for President Xi he's been in a true sense he's been a friend of mine for a long period of time and I think that we'll end up working out something that's very good for both countries i look forward to it mr president China retaliated today by reducing the number of American films that can be shown there what's your reaction to them now targeting cultural exports from the United States i think I've heard of worse things yes also on China the Ukrainians say they have evidence that Chinese soldiers have been found fighting for the Russians in Ukraine can the US verify this and if so what does the US plan on doing to China to come back we'll look into it but I think beyond that we're really looking to get that war stopped they're losing 2,500 and even more than that young people a week they're Russian and they're Ukrainian they're not American but they're uh they're people and we're seeing if we can get it stopped and I think we're making progress i appreciate the ballerina who was uh released it was uh at the request of a very good friend of all of ours actually uh Dana White called me and he said it's uh it's the friend or the relationship of one of the fighters for UFC or one of the fighters and Dana is an incredible guy and we spoke to President Putin about it and they made a deal they released the young ballerina and she is now out and that was good so we appreciate that we hope that we're going to be able to make a deal relatively soon with Russia and Ukraine to stop the fighting it's so senseless it's such a horrible thing would have never happened if I were president but it did happen and we were given that card and I think we're going to get it i think we're going to get it stopped got to get going we got to get it we have to move it faster likewise with the hostages uh we're making progress we uh you know there's 59 hostages but only 24 of them are living and that's the way it's been presented to me by the mothers of some of the dead mothers and fathers of some of the dead hostages and they want the bodies of their of their baby as they say their baby their young boys they want they want them back as much as if they were alive it's amazing because when I met the hostages two weeks ago here I couldn't believe what they had to go through by the way but when I met them they said "Yeah there's 59 uh but 24 are living." And they actually consider I guess if you're a parent you do consider it this way that the the remainder who are dead the 24 that are alive the remainder that are dead they want them back just as much as they would want them back if they were alive it's really pretty amazing and pretty sad so we we're getting close to uh getting them back we have a a lot came back a lot of people are very grateful some came back in pretty bad shape some came back they're okay i think they're going to be scarred mentally for a long time because if you sit down and talk to them as I have what they went through is incredible but we're making progress we're dealing with Israel we're dealing with Hamas and it's a it's a nasty grip mr so how close are you to the first country coming to actually make a deal with the United States over terrorists is it days months well I think it's very close but you know we have to have a deal that we like we We don't want a deal that's going to be a bad deal or I could I could make every deal in one day if I wanted to i could do this in all in one day i could just say here's what we'll do and uh I was saying to the people before to Scott mostly to Scott and Howard and some of the other people that work with us on the negotiations you know we have a lot of law firms that have paid me a lot of money in the form of legal fees we're going to probably use those firms to uh if we can I think we can i'll make a contribution to the country but they're great firms they're the best firms the biggest and really the most prestigious and we may be using them to help you guys out because you're going to need a lot of lawyers and I'm not sure Pam's going to be happy if I say "Can you send over about 200 lawyers that work on trade?" She's working on criminal stuff and I think that's going to be her focus more than anything else so we'll find out if we can do that but we have a lot of lawyers that you've been reading about where they paid a hundred million dollars a firm on average now we have the final four or five are at $125 million so I have a lot of legal fees I could give it to you people but and we might as well use them hopefully I won't need that many legal fees or that much i may who knows after after it ends after after we leave maybe I'll need it but if I do it's not going to be very pleasant so I think we're going to try to use these these very prestigious firms to help us out with the trade because you know we have a lot of countries but we want to make deals that are proper for the United States not just we can make deals easily we want to make them proper mr president if you aren't able to reach the deals that you want to see at the end of the 90 days will you put those higher tariffs in place or will you Well that's what would happen i mean if we can't make the deal that we want to make or we have to make or that's you know good for both parties it's got to be good for both parties and then we'd go back to where we were go back to the numbers that you announced last week i think so you wouldn't extend the pause no uh we'll have to see what happens at that time mr thank you Mr president you said yesterday you were considering some exceptions for companies can you talk about what you're considering and then also on the tariff substantially lower is the same math formula going to be used or is that I'm not considering now for any uh country or company but it's possible that I would but I'm not I we don't have that situation right now people understand where we are what we're going to do but it could happen you know it's called flexibility you have to have certain flexibility What are you planning on using the money that you're gaining revenue through the tariff on uh paying down national debt reducing taxes creating good budgets helping Christy with the uh border and all of the other things we built i built hundreds of miles of wall as people now understand 571 miles of border wall in the first administration but we're going to beef it up and we're going to add more and you know the numbers are incredible really the numbers are what's what's taken place we had great numbers but these numbers are topping my last administration and Christy and Tom Holman have done an amazing job but but you know it's an expensive process this weekend where they used to have hundreds of thousands of people standing there pouring through the border in Tijana Mexico this weekend they had nobody you had a man sweeping this massive piece of concrete which is you know the area where they said massive and I've looked at that during the Biden administration you couldn't see a piece of that concrete there was so many people on it you couldn't if you if you had helicopter shots you couldn't see concrete now uh this weekend you had nobody there but a man with a broom sweeping it and cleaning it up pretty amazing that's it's really an amazing job but it will be used for that it'll be used for a lot of things it'll be used by the Department of Justice for for doing a great job pam is doing a fantastic job so it's going to be used for a lot of different things mr president on a 10 on a 10% tariff is that a basement is that it's a baseline can can countries negotiate that to bring that it depends on what they're adding you know some countries have we have massive deficits with or they have big surpluses with us and others it's not that way so it depends that's why it's really all they're all different every country is different some have certain advantages that others don't have and certain things we have some China has a surplus of a trillion dollars i mean the numbers are crazy and others have basically no surpluses you know we have some that are pretty even but they hurt us in other ways and we just want to get that taken care of so it's everyone is a little bit different are you negotiating with the EU as one block or individual nations for the trip to the tariffs uh we're looking at it as one block they've been very tough but they were very smart they were ready to announce retaliation and then they heard about what we did with respect to China and others but China and they said you know we're going to hold back a little bit they decided they decided to hold back i thought they were very smart look the EU is very smart but they really have taken advantage of the United States they they were formed for the purpose of taking advantage of the United States and I don't blame them and I don't blame China i don't blame anybody i blame the people that were sitting at that desk in that other beautiful Oval Office for allowing it to happen many presidents I blame they should have never allowed it to happen and I'm doing something that a lot of them wouldn't want to do but I'm here i do those things and we're going to make this country great again we were we were taken advantage of by almost everybody i sat back in the last administration i would actually read them i don't have to read them now i know them so well i would read some of these documents that were signed deals and I said "Who would do a deal like this who would do it?" You've seen it Elon i I'd look at deals where it's so one-sided even uh we have a deal with Japan and we get along great with Japan and we had the prime minister here he was fantastic as you know uh Abby was great shinszo was great he was a good friend of mine unfortunately no longer with us but we defend them but they don't have to defend us i said "That doesn't sound too good but we have a deal where a defense deal we pay hundreds of billions of dollars to defend them but if for any re in other words we pay all the money they don't pay anything but if we're ever attacked they don't have to do a thing to protect us." I said "Oh that sounds like a wonderful deal." So I just That's just one out of thousands and I I just wonder who did this and it's people that either hate our country or didn't care an expression that you use i think it's really they a lot of them didn't care they They just It's just hard to believe how how bad they are now that's a little bit of a defensive deal but I'm talking about trade deals the same thing they're so bad you would say "How come?" And even when I'd renegotiate like I' i'd go to a country they'd give me everything I asked for i said "Why didn't somebody ask for it?" Like originally they give me everything i think when when they were negotiating they didn't care or they didn't ask or they were shy or they were very stupid or they hate our country yeah go ahead Jeff you were speaking about Japan can you clarify what your vision is for US Steel you referenced it yesterday there are some questions about what you actually want sure look US steel is going to do very well now because of tariffs and I don't know why they even need a deal but the only thing is US steel if you go back 80 or 90 years that was a behemoth in this that was our biggest most we if we were around we would have been very proud of it today we have different types of companies that are big google it's not the same as us i love I love G Google and I got to like the people that run it very capable people they didn't like me so much in the first administration but they like me a lot now i don't know what happened but I like them but you know I think they would be the first to admit what I envisioned you look at some of those steel factories from 90 years ago where we were were it was a different kind of a country but they were miles long today you see just empty hulks those hulks are going to be filled up very soon because of what I'm doing with tariffs it was a different kind of a thing but if I didn't do that in in the first term my first term if I didn't put tariffs on we would have because China and others were dumping steel billions of dollars of steel our steel companies were all closing every fact we wouldn't have one steel plant open and now we have a steel industry that's doing very well but soon it's going to be thriving really thriving and those factories are going to be filled up but more importantly they're going to build brand new ones uh New Core and so many other companies call me new being a big steel company they're building massive new steel plants uh and it's great and likewise car companies we have many many car companies three of them i I'm not looking to hurt Mexico and I like Mexico and by the way I think the new president is a terrific person a fantastic woman we've had many conversations and she's a very elegant uh just a fantastic person and she's she's been very nice very very nice but uh I'm not looking to hurt them but we have three car plants that were under construction in Mexico they stopped constructing and now they're going to build in the United States because of tariffs see we should have never let this happen because whoever it was that was president at the time we lost 90,000 plants and factories since NAFTA 90,000 it's not believable how about that Lori you know you're in that sort of world of factories and build manufacturing construction jobs bring those workers back home right we're going to bring them all back but think of it from that period of time which isn't so long ago willis I I said the other day if you had a map on a big wall like this and if you had pins 90,000 I don't know if you'd have enough I don't think you'd have enough room on the map to put the pins 90,000 factories uh that we've lost since NAFTA and it's not even and about six million jobs really I think probably a lot more than that but they say six million jobs we're going to bring many of that back money i think we're going to bring more than more than all of it back we're going to bring we're going to be better and stronger than ever before but if a president when they were leaving said "Look you can leave but if you're going to build a factory someplace else and you think you're going to come and sell your steel or your car or any product that you make your pharmaceuticals which we're going to do we're going to get them all back but if you think you're going to just All they had to do is say this and they wouldn't have left." You know I said it the other day i I said it with respect to I made a speech a year ago and I told him if I win uh we're going to charge a big big tariff at the border and people were thinking about building in Mexico a car plant and I said we're going to have a big tariff so if you want to build a car you're going to have to pay 25% more than the cost of that car you're going to have to pay 25% tariff at the border they would have never left they could have kept everybody if a president said "If you leave this country you leave Michigan you leave Detroit you leave any any of the anybody any of our states because to me they're all the same i love them all i love them all and I probably want them all but they say I won most of them but I pro I think I want them all but that's okay but uh all you had to say if you were the president is if you leave and you think you're going to now fire all those workers leave all that you know everything behind and you're going to build in another country and sell it any you're going to pay 50% or 100% tariff they would have never left and all you had to say Marco is r all you had to say very simply is you don't have to write it down all you have to do is say it verbally if you leave you're going to pay a 100% tariff therefore don't leave they would have never left but they left 90,000 plants i mean it's hard to believe that many it's not you You can't envision it so just getting back to your you know because I'm the great weaver of all time to weave you have to be a genius to go on tangents anybody can do that but we'll get back to your original US Steel uh US Steel is uh is a big name in this country you know it's Babe Ruth is a big name uh we have a lot of big names but not too many you USDTO is one of the great names in the history of our country and uh normally I wouldn't mind so much I wouldn't be thrilled with it but to buy uh for a foreign country and we love Japan but for a foreign country to buy that cherished US Steel brand that's hard for me to do may somebody else uh somebody else may want it uh the company Nippon that's involved with it is a a big powerful company who do a good job but why can't they just build a plant themselves i mean why do they have to you know take us so as you know I rejected the deal now they've come back in a different form they're coming back as an investor uh and you know I feel better about that I guess but you know I know them very well i know I know they're thinking it's the investor or they'll invest and somebody else may be sitting in this chair and they will no longer have an investment they'll have the whole thing and that's the way it works here very smart they're very very smart people we're dealing with very smart people throughout the world great geniuses actually look what they've done to our country and again I don't blame China i don't blame anybody if I could have done it if I were in that position I'd have great respect i have great respect for the people they ripped off the United States and all we had to do have a president that knew what the hell was going on and none of those countries would have left those companies none of them would have left so uh that's a little lesson in basic business and it's really basic business it's not complicated business it's very basic business and we'd have every one of those car plants going just the way they were 30 years ago none of them would have left but now they're coming back mr president the labor labor department has confirmed that $400 million went to fake people for unemployment your initial reaction i think it's terrible i just heard it from Lori and I appreciate it and you heard it from Elon's people right that's right uh Elon's done a fantastic job look he's sitting here and I don't care i don't need Elon for anything other than I happen to like him but I'm telling you this guy this guy did a fantastic job i don't need his car i actually bought one because and they said "Oh did you get a bargain?" No i said "Give me the top price i paid a lot of money for that car but honestly he makes he makes a great car." You know what I do with it i let the people in the office drive around in it margo and Natalie they're all Chamberlain they're all driving around the most beautiful car they It's gorgeous uh but I did that as a sign of just a show of support numerous people have done that just a show of support because you know he's done a fantastic job but uh he hasn't been treated properly hasn't been treated properly yeah mr president can you talk to us about your communications with China has President Xi reached out at all since Well I don't want to say who's reached out i just say that I think I think it's going to work out hopefully well tik Tok they're very big it's hard to get over if you're me the what they've done to our country they've destroyed our economic base to a large extent the good news is we're very vibrant and we're going to get it back fast we already have look we're making two billion dollars a day now and uh during Biden we were losing $3 billion a day biden was a disaster he was the worst president in the history of our country and you know to me worse than that because the money you can make if you have the right guy in this position worse than that was what we have to what they did on the border by allowing the jails of the world not South America all over the world to be opened up so that we take everybody from Africa Asia South America Europe the bad ones they opened up their jails and they dumped them in the United States and now this beautiful young woman who seems to be boy she loves what she does though i think she loves what she does because she's a patriot she hates to see it and Tom and all the people but for us to spend you know hundreds of billions of dollars to this is just I don't know either again they either hated the country who would do this who would want millions of people to pour through an open border we have no idea who the hell they are and just walk right through and half of them whether you like it or not you could look at them and you could say "They are not going to help us these are some rough people." But they'd empty out their jails and they'd empty out their mental institutions insane asylums and they let them into the United States of America and inflation we can fix and all of the other things we can fix we'll get it going but this is something it's it's such a horrible thing and it's really hard you know we have to do deportations now we're doing self deportation we're coming up with all sorts of ideas and they must have known it's not going to work out well and you know we want people to come into our country by the way we need them badly for the jobs but we want them to come in legally they have to come in legally they have to show that they can love our country thank you very much everybody thank you thank you very much democrats are making allegations about market thank you thank you very much nobody press
