the. Constitution. the separation of powers, and the rule of law. in Striking down the excessive use of Nationwide injunctions to interfere with the normal functioning of the executive branch. The Supreme Court has stopped the presidency itself. That’s what they’ve done. and, uh, really it’s been it’s been, uh, An amazing period of time. This last hour. There are people elated all over the country. I’ve seen such Such happiness and spirit Sometimes you don’t see that, But this case is very important. I was elected on a historic mandate but in recent months we’ve seen a handful of radical left judges effectively, try to overrule the rightful powers of the president. to stop the American people from getting the policies that they voted for in record numbers. it was a grave threat to democracy. frankly and instead of merely ruling on the immediate cases before them. These judges have attempted to dictate the law for the entire nation. in practice this meant that if any 1 of the nearly 700 federal judges disagreed with the policy of a duly elected president of the United States. he or she could block that policy from going into. effect or from going delay it for many years. Tie it up in the court system. this was a colossal abuse of power, which never occurred in. American history prior to recent decades. And we’ve been hit with more Nationwide injunctions than were issued in the entire 20th century. together. Think of it more than the entire 20th century me. I’m grateful to the Supreme Court for stepping in and solving this very very big. and complex problem and they’ve made it very simple. I want to thank Justice Barrett. who wrote the opinion, brilliantly, as well as chief justice Roberts. And Justice is Alo Gorsuch Kavanaugh and Thomas. Great people. thanks for this decision. and thanks to this decision. We can now promptly file to proceed with numerous policies that have been wrongly enjoined on. a nationwide basis. and some of the cases we’re talking about, would be uh, ending birth right citizenship, which now comes to the 4 that was meant for the babies of slaves. It wasn’t meant for people trying to scam the system and come into the country. on a vacation. This was in fact, it was the same date The exact same date. the end of the Civil War. It was meant for the babies of slaves and is so clean. and so obvious. But this lets us go there And finally, when that case because hundreds of thousands of people are pouring into our country. Under Birthright, citizenship and it wasn’t meant for that reason. was meant for the babies of slaves. So thanks to this decision. We can now promptly file to proceed with these numerous policies and those that have been wrongly enjoined in a nationwide basis including Birthright citizenship, ending Sanctuary city funding, suspending refugee, resettlement freezing unnecessary funding stopping federal taxpayers from paying for for transgender surgery numerous other priorities of the American people. Uh, we have so many of them. I have a whole list, I’m not going to bore you, and I’m going to have uh, Pam get up and say a few words. But there’s really she could talk as long as you want, because this is a very important decision. This is a decision that covers a tremendous amount of territory but I want to just thank again. the Supreme Court for this ruling. It’s a giant. it’s a giant. and uh, they should be very proud. and our country should be very proud of the Supreme Court today. And with that, I’d like you to uh Listen to the words of Pam Bond, she’s an incredible Attorney general. We’re very proud of her. and uh, as you know, Todd Blanche is with us and we have so many others that worked on this case and other cases. and I think they’re doing a great job, Pam, please say a few words. Americans are finally getting what they voted for. no longer. will. We have Rogue judges? striking down. president Trump’s policies across the entire nation. no longer today in the 63 opinion, Justice Barrett correctly holds that the district court lacks authority to enter Nationwide or Universal. injunctions these. Lawless injunctions gave relief to everyone in the world. in the parties before the court as the Supreme Court held today. they turned district courts into the Imperial judiciary, Act liberal justices. judges have used these injunctions to block virtually all of President Trump’s policies. to put this in perspective. There are. 94. Federal Judicial districts. 5 of those districts throughout this country. held 35 of the Nationwide injunctions. Think about that. 94 districts. and, 35 out of the 40 opinions with Nationwide injunctions came from. 5 liberal. districts in this country. No longer no longer. these injunctions have blocked our policies from tariffs to military Readiness to immigration to foreign Affairs fraud abuse. and many other issues. The judges have tried to seize the executive Branch’s power And they cannot do that. No longer. no longer and on immigration on a side note today, marks. 2,7 arrests. on. These. terrorists and these gangs total arrests today with HF. investigations and thank you, Stephen Miller Thank you to Homeland Security. Thank you to everyone working hand in hand. with the FBI on all of these transnational gangs TDA has been a huge Terror to our country, as well as MS-13. as well as COA cartels. no longer. no longer. these injunctions have. allowed District court judges to be Emperors, they vetoed all of President Trump’s power and they cannot do that. This is been a bipartisan problem. that has lasted 5 presidential. terms. 5 different, presidents. And it has ended today. we will continue to fight for president Trump’s policies, I want to thank the office of White House Council Dave Warrington you and your staff have been incredible. our solicitor General’s office, John Sauer Sarah Harris. and Todd Blanche and Amal. Bowie Todd’s going to say a few words because we’ve had another major ruling today. On transgender books, and some other great wins that we’ve had. But no longer will they have this power in our country? It is the president’s Authority under his executive. branch to do everything to fight for the American people. And He will continue. to do that. That’s why he was overwhelmingly elected. Thank you. Thank you. in today’s today’s. a great day for the rule of law. It’s a great day for the justice department. and its 1. That’s been a long time. coming and 1 that that every American should have been waiting for with baited breath. and so i I Echo what the president said and and attorney general Bondi that the Supreme Court did a, a great thing today not only for this Administration. before every American in this country. Um, if not for the injunctions case, we would be here talking about another great decision that came down today, that trans books case, which restores parents’ rights to decide their child’s education. seems like a a, a basic idea But it took the Supreme Court. to to set the record State and we thank them for that. And now that, that ruling allows parents to opt out of of dangerous. trans ideology and make the decisions for their children that they believe is correct. And so we thank the Supreme Court for that there’s been multiple decisions over the past several weeks. that just show why this injunction while this nation would jump. Function ban had to happen. for example. what I mean by that is Local District Court judges. issuing decisions that are clearly contrary to law Just because they don’t like the policy of President Trump And when it gets to the Supreme Court, the Supreme Court has to correct it but that takes time. Um the Attorney General thanked. our, our lawyers and I’ll do it again. Our lawyers are working 24 hours a day 7 days, a week. to fight these injunctions and to emergency appeals emergency stays Is going back to the district court, judge asking them to change their View and and so their hard work is is really paying off. um, today, but over the past few weeks, we had a state of an order that prevented DHS from moving aliens to a third country. We had a stay of an order that stopped the Department of Defense from implementing. military Readiness. Um, the the EO, the president Trump signed we had another say of an order forcing reinstatement of fired executive, branch employees. entirely within the president and Article 2, his right to do. we had a state of as you all know of numerous, Doge cases And again, every 1 of those stays Required a tremendous amount of work, and effort. by the lawyers and the parties involved. and they should be doing other work, they should be doing the work that that the president and this Administration. demands. And as a right to demand and not fighting these, these local judges who don’t don’t make decisions based on the law. They make decisions because they just simply don’t agree. with the administration’s decision about a policy. and that’s and that’s wrong. Thank you. Any questions? Yes, for Pam, please. Go ahead. Sure. Um, thank you. Madam Attorney. General. So as you know the Supreme Court did not rule on the underlying constitutionality of the president’s Birthright citizenship. order. So what is the plan now? Are you going to try to implement the EO? just in states, where there isn’t a legal challenge? Yes, So Birthright citizenship Will be decided in October in the next session. by the Supreme Court, unless it comes down in the next few minutes. Um, I guess it could come down there’s still I think there’s still deliberating right now on some cases as you heard, we just got transgender books, which is a huge win but most likely that will be decided in October in the next session. However, indirectly impacts us. because as you correctly pointed out, if there’s a Birthright citizenship case in Oregon, it will only affect the plaintiff in Oregon. Not the entire country. Oregon. yes, it’s indirectly but but that’s pending litigation and we’re waiting on that in the next term and how concerned are you that? Determine that. Border is unconstitutional. We’re very confident in the Supreme Court, but again, it’s pending litigation and that will directly be determined. in October. But it indirectly, impacts every case in this country and we’re thrilled with their decision today. Peter Madame attorney general. Thank you for being here, to take our questions, a couple questions to the both of you. the EO goes had a 30-day grace period before it goes into. effect. Is there any thought about trying to make it effective? immediately within that period of time? We’re going to follow the law. We’re, we’re going to make those decisions and we’re going to do what’s right in the bounds of the law. And then the doj didn’t ask the just Purposes. Why? Sure. because that’s going to come down. in October. in the separate. This, this was huge because it’s indirectly impacted today. As I said, it’s it’s now it’s Case by case. let me reiterate of the 35th the 40 Nationwide injunctions filed against this president. against his executive Authority as president of the United States. 35 of them came from Maryland D.C, Massachusetts, California. Washington and that’s crazy. These, these 5 districts. So, yes, it indirectly impacts us. It will be a separate decision in October Next question. Thank you, Mr. President, um, a question for you, Sir, do you believe this ends the power of the Lower Court judges to stop your agenda? Do you see this as a full green light for your agenda going forward? Well, you’d have to really speak to the lawyers about that but this is uh really also a decision based on common sense It didn’t work the other way. It was a disaster where somebody from a certain location in a very liberal state or a liberal judge or a liberal group of judges. could tie up a whole country for years, because their decision was sometimes take years to overturn, We’ve overturned. Many of the decisions but it would take years to do it And we have to act quickly when it comes to Illegal immigration, we have murderers Killers, we have uh, drug dealers. We have what they’ve allowed to come into our country. should never be forgotten. It should never be forgotten. What they’ve done to our country and we have to be able to act very quickly and we’re going to do that. Thank you. Just can you call me Tony? Uh sir I know that you Her and her opinion here. In this case. she has taken some heat though, from some of your supporters who have labeled her weak a squishy, a rattled law professor. what is your take on that? Do you know about that? I just have great respect for. I always have and her decision was brilliantly written today from all accounts. Yeah. president Trump transgender really. uh what would you say to Americans? who fear that this is? More and more concentration of. power in the White House, and the executive. Well, this really brings back the Constitution. This is what it’s all about And this is really the opposite of that. I mean, the question is fine, but it’s the opposite. Uh, the Constitution has been brought back. Thank you so much. president Trump. uh, equal Crossings in the Border are zero now zero, is everyone here that from 2028. 3. I like him. He’s he’s working the cameras. New reality president Trump. personally, with leaders from South America, not only stands from America. In order to tell they do that anyway. I do that. Anyway, I need to have a prospect of meetings and presence from South America as a result for example. as an example. not South America. but NATO over the weekend, Yeah. Uh, they have great respect for our country. Now, they did things that nobody thought was possible. They took funding from 2% to 5%. Nobody thought they’d ever pay the 2% and now they’re paying the 5%. It’s over a trillion dollars more a year. think of that a trillion dollars. uh nobody thought that could happen. That’s a different group of people, different countries. but we get along with a lot of countries Are we are respected again? our country, the US is respected again, was not respected, 6 months ago. I can Ask about. President. You have a deadline coming up on trade in 2 weeks. which country on trade on Terrace. sir. Which countries, if any are close to agreements with the administration. Well, that’s an interesting question. Uh, We’ve made a deal with China. We’ve made a deal with uh, probably 4 or 5 different countries with the UK was a great deal for both. Uh, and we’re in the process of making some others. But ultimately, in fact, Scott is here. Howard lutnick these 2 guys Have been doing an incredible job and the people that work with them have been doing an incredible job. but, you know, we have 200 countries. you could say, 200 countries plus we can’t do that. So at a certain point over the next week and a half or so, or maybe before. we’re going to send out a letter. We talked to many of the countries that we’re just going to tell them what they have to pay to do business. in the United States. And it’s going to go very quickly. Uh but some of the bigger countries. so India I think we’re going to reach a deal with where we have the right to go in and trade right now. It’s restricted. You can’t walk in there. You can’t even think about it. We’re looking to get a full. trade. uh barrier. dropping. which is unthinkable. and I’m not sure that that’s going to happen but as of this moment, we’ve agreed to that. Go into Indian trade, we’re going to be trading in China. That’s going to come a little bit down the road, but we’re going to be trading in China. We have a lot of great things going and we’re getting along with countries but some will be disappointed. because they’re going to have to pay tariffs and we’ve taken in already hundreds of billions of dollars. in tariffs no inflation. The only problem we have is we have a Fed guy. That doesn’t understand what’s happening and it would be great if he’d lower the rate because we’d be able to borrow a lot cheaper. Yeah. Go ahead, please. Why don’t we keep it on this subject? This is such a big subject. You know what? Trade is so big, But this I don’t know in a certain way. This might be bigger than trade. I think this is bigger than trade. Yes, please, go ahead. I was wondering, though, if you could go ahead sir on the transgender ruling, the Supreme Court. ruling that parents with religious objections, can pull their kids out of public school lessons that use lgbtq materials. Pam brought up your reaction to that ruin today. Sir I think the ruling was a great ruling and I think it’s a great ruling for parents. It’s really a ruling for parents. They they lost control. of the schools. They lost control of their child. and this is a tremendous victory for parents. and I’m not surprised by it, but I am surprised that it went this far uh, it took us to bring life back to normal, so it’s a wonderful it’s parental and I kept saying we will give you back your parental rights, they were taking away and this is a tremendous victory for parents. Yeah. Mr. President, if you look The action in the Middle East, You are at the heg of the week, hasn’t it? I’m wondering now. If you believe that Iran, wondering now, sir, if you believe that Iran has given up its uh long history of Ambitions with nuclear weapons, or what you would like to see from them. uh, to prove that they do, and what type of meetings is your Administration looking for uh, next week with Iran. So Iran wants to meet as you know, there are sites where obliterated they’re very evil nuclear sites, they were now has been proven. we had some fake news for a little while. the same people that covered the Hunter. Biden laptop was from Russia, The same people that did 3 or 4 other Russia, Russia, Russia hoax, but on their, no, no, wait, wait, just listen. They came up with something that delayed the credit that our great pilots and these Great America. I mean, they want talent. that was and they hit it right down in the spot. 52,000 ft think of this dark no moon. You couldn’t see a thing. and they hit the refrigerator. door as they say. That’s the size of a Target. Um, and overwhelmingly And it’s, uh, amazing. what was done? the with the only ones that could have done it and we took out the other 2 of the other sites. Also in addition to that, we finished them off. uh, that was uh, very evil intention. I believe that and again time will tell but I don’t believe that they’re going to go back into nuclear. anytime soon, they spent over a trillion dollars on nuclear and they never got it together. Uh, and nothing was moved from the site, by the way to do that is very dangerous. It’s very very heavy material. Those cars were most likely the cars of Masons because they were pouring concrete. uh, at the top at the hatch. As, you know, the hatchs going into the nuclear site, they wanted to reinforce it and they had some Masons there pouring concrete, By the way, that concrete was obliterated it hit exactly at the concrete. It was, I don’t think it had a chance to dry. uh, but uh, everything’s down there, it’s under millions of tons of Rock Yes. Um, your Administration has said that El Salvador is some of the safest countries in the hemisphere. So why haven’t you yet canceled Temporary protective status for that country. Was it part of the deal? Well, we’ll take a look. We’ve had a great relationship. with El Salvador. They have a fantastic leader. they built a massive, uh, prison system. And I I don’t know exactly what but it’s a hell of a system. and we of people there and when they go there they don’t. get out. And frankly, when they hear they have to go there. They become very nice people. They become very nice people. It’s a tough system, but it’s a brilliant system, and uh, it’s a system done by a very, very good leader. And we’ll talk about El Salvador, a lot of respect. As you go into negotiations and talks with Iran, are you demanding Not only that there would be no uranium production. inside of Iran. but also that Iran would turn over all existing stock piles of Iranian. Well, you know, we’re a little early for that but something like that. Yeah, we’ll do something like that. Let me say that I’ve been saying for 25 years even. as a civilian, you cannot let them have a nuclear weapon and that’s what happened. It’s been obliterated. It would be years before they could ever get going. And I really think it’s probably the last thing they have to recover from. a hell of a tough War. Would you also be demanding that the iaea have full rights to inspect? in Iran or somebody? Yeah. or somebody that we respect including ourselves and a question for for both the president and the Attorney General. um, under Birthright citizenship, if this is implemented, who would be tasked with actually vetting citizenship, and how like, would this be a situation where you have nurses and doctors? checking for citizenship for parents or This is all pending litigation, It’s going to be decided. in October. by the Supreme Court and we’ll discuss that after the litigation, if you have an undocumented baby, Would priority. The violent. criminals in our country are the priority now. Let me put it in perspective. today. marked the 2,7 arrests. in our country of TDA members just TDA. everyone in this room agrees. They are 1 of the most violent Criminal organizations in the world. and the Biden Administration. Let them walk into our country. walk into our country, for the last 4 years. 7711 of them today. Have been arrested in our country. That is the priority of Donald Trump. That is a priority of this country. of Homeland Security of all of our lawyers of FBI. That’s the priority that will be discussed in October when the Supreme Court hopefully rules in our favor and we’re very confident of that. But you should all feel safer now that President Trump can Deport all of these all of these. gangs and not. 1 District Court Judge can think they’re an emperor. over this Administration. and his executive powers. And why the people of the United States elected him. I just might add 1 thing and you know, they used Birthright citizenship some of the worst people some of the cartels to get people into our country just so you know, and again I said, day, if you look at the end of the Civil War, the 1800s, it was a a very turbulent time. if you take the end day was it 1869 or whatever. But you take that exact day that’s when the case was filed. and the case ended shortly thereafter. this has to do with the babies of slaves. Very, very obviously. And I I think we’re going to when people didn’t, I don’t think they went about discussing it right? I came along and we we looked and we said wait a minute, this is wrong. We’ve been looking at Birth rights. This isn’t ship wrong for years. but they’ve used it. The cartels have used Birthright citizenship to get very bad people in and what Pam’s doing and what Todd and everybody else. what they’re doing at doj. and all over FBI. ice. uh border patrol. These are incredible people Uh, they’re trying to keep our country safe and they don’t want to have people come in. This is just another way that they get illegal immigrants into our into our country, and in some cases, very, very bad ones. Go ahead. Thank you, Mr. President. of it right now after the Senate parliamentarian ruled that sections of it, were outside of the process that they’re using to get this through, Do you think that Senators should respect? the decisions of the parliamentarian? And what have you personally done in the last? 48 hours? to try and get Republican Senators, who are against the bill to a? Yes. Well look, it’s a great bill. It’s a massive tax cut. if it’s not approved. your taxes will go up by 68%. Think of that 68, a record, the highest in the history. Uh the Democrats won’t approve it only because politically it’s so good for the Republicans. the Democrats are an approving it but think of what they’re not approving. They’re not approving. border Security We’ve done a great job at the border but we have to add some War. We have to do. you know various things. Uh, we have no money for that, We have no money for the Border. We have no money for so many things. Uh, but if many Democrats and it would be interesting to see if we get any Democrat votes, we should. If I were a Democrat, I would absolutely maybe Federman because he seems to be the most sensible 1 lately. Uh, if I were a Democrat, I would vote for this bill all day long because it’s tax cuts and so many other things that are common sense. They’re basic things, Uh, I think they’re doing fine. uh, the parliamentarians been, a little difficult, and I would say that I disagree with the parliamentarian on some things and on other ways, he’s been fine, But we’ll have to see. It’s, uh, it’s a big issue. I will tell you this, If that bill doesn’t pass, the country will get a 68 68% tax increase, So think of this you’re a Democrat and you vote against it. That means you’re voting in favor because essentially, you’re voting in favor of the largest tax. hike in the history of our country. and you can’t do that in addition. we’re cutting costs by 1.7 trillion dollars and it won’t affect anybody. It’s just fraud waste and abuse. Mr. President Mr. President. a leading Mr. President A leading Global Economist. Just did a 180 and says your tariff plan. You may have outsmarted everybody with it. What is your message? I love this. I love this question. This is the favorite. This is the best question I’ve ever been asked. Because I’ve been going through abuse for years on this. because as you know, we’re taking in hundreds of billions of dollars. no inflation. What’s Whatsoever. But Mr. President, what is your message to critics? You think you were tariff? Plan will cause a recession I think they should go back to Business School. It’s so obvious. It’s so obvious. I mean we’re we’re taking in billions and billions of dollars from China and a lot of other countries. Uh, we took in, I I had a call from somebody in the house and high official sir. We have a problem. We don’t know what to do The books are a mess. I said, what do you mean by the books? The books, the money, the money coming in. It’s so terrible. I figured oh, boy. what’s this? I don’t like this question. I said, so what what seems there’s so much money coming in and there must be some kind of an accounting mistake, because we have, hundreds of billions of dollars more money than we thought I said, do me a favor, go check the year, call me back. You have to call me back. Check the Tariff column Calls me back 2 hours later says, you’re right. We took an 88 billion in tariffs. They have so much money coming in. but more important than the money coming in. We have companies coming in factories coming in Auto plants, being built. AI is being built here Instead of being built all over Europe and Asia, We have all of it. we have over. 15 trillion dollars just about Scott. I think we’re right about that at that number, we went to Saudi Arabia We went to Qatar. We went to UAE very smart people, very smart leaders, great leaders, And we took in 5.1 trillion dollars, just there, without the tariffs. I mean, they also like to think called November 5th, November 6th and November 7th. That was a very good little period of time. It’s called the presidential election. you know, you used to have 1 Day election. Now you have it, go over it but even if you just took that little period because it was pretty obvious, it was going to be a landslide but and they like that but they love the tariffs. I had Texas Instruments, come in the other day, big company. and he said we’re putting in 60 billion dollars. into new plants and new equipment, new everything. sir you’re going to keep the tariffs, aren’t you? Because I ever took the tariffs off and we are going to absolutely keep it and the word that somebody that like this. communist from New York, someday gets elected. I can’t believe that’s happening. That’s a terrible thing for our country. By the way, he’s a communist. We’re going to go to a communistic site that’s so bad for New York But the rest of the country is revolting against it. But uh, if somebody got elected, they’re afraid that if this was taken off, well, we’re going to guarantee. It’s never going to be taken off and again, we’re taking in 100 think of this. hundreds of billions. Of dollars. And they were all confused because they’ve never seen this before. You know, it’s always the other way we don’t have enough money. So much money is coming in. at levels, that nobody’s ever seen. But most importantly, we have factories being billed. car plans being billed. companies moving to our country like never before. if you look at 15 trillion and that’s only in a few months you know I haven’t been here that long uh, presidents like the last 1 was a disaster. 1 of the, he’s the worst president that they serve our country by the way. what he did on our border can never ever be forgotten That to me that’s the worst of all the things and he’s done some terrible things. grossly incompetent nobody knew. it was him because I don’t think it was him. I think it was whoever was controlling the auto pain but our country is doing great And those leaders and other leaders. I just left. as, you know, uh, a large group of the most highly respected people. and that includes big, you know, big countries When you look at Germany and France, and Spain although Spain didn’t come through but they will. uh, by the way, guaranteed, they will. That was the only country that sort of tried to hold back on putting up the money but just so, you know, they said, it’s unbelievable. It’s happened to the USA. You were a dead country? We didn’t respect. the country, the leader. you were dead. as as a doornail. Once said to me, you went from being a dead country. you are right now the hottest. country anywhere in the world. the whole world is talking about the USA. and everybody wants a part of it. And they’re pouring into our country and you’re going to see those numbers. Thank you for that question. Thank you, Mr. President uh, I have a question about trade secretary besan has said that he hopes are deals with major Partners will be done by Labor Day. Uh so if some deals are not done by your July 9th deadline, will some countries tariffs go back up or will they stay where they are? Yeah, well there are some countries that are used to ripping us off to be honest with you and I don’t want to name them but you sort of can name them. uh, and they’re so used to just you know, getting taking it billions and billions of look, we had a trade deficit. of uh, more than a trillion dollars. think of a trillion. A trade deficit. that’s because nobody cared. Nobody. we cared a lot. When you know, I took in hundreds of billions of dollars. in tariff, we had the greatest economy in history up until now I think we’re going to blow it away. but, during my time, and especially, prior to Coe, we had the greatest economy in the history of our country. I think we’re going to blow it away now based on the kind of numbers that we’re seeing. but some countries are very angry because they’ve been ripping us off for years. They’ve been making billions and billions of dollars There was nobody to negotiate with They could do whatever they want. they charge just terrorists by the way. at numbers that we’ve never seen before. And we ended up losing much more than a trillion dollars a year. a trillion dollars a year. to portray it. and, now, they’re being met with a force that’s far greater than them. and they don’t like it. So they’re upset. because instead of making you know, 5 billion dollars. They’re going to break even. or they’ll make a little bit. I want to be in. I still make a little bit. Oh, we’ll make a little bit. It’s a big difference. Yeah, please go. Red, red dress. is there any more information on the special prosecutor? So many Americans still have questions about the 2020 election And speaking of Rogue judges, uh, would you consider appointing? somebody at doj maybe to investigate the judges that allowed for the political persecution of you your family and your supporters during the Biden Administration? I love you Who are you? It’s not a setup. I have no idea who you are, but I appreciate that question. Uh, all I can say is we’re not here for that, I hope so. I hope they’re doing a thing because that election was rigged and stolen and we can’t allow that to happen. You know, a lot of people tell me sir you just won the greatest election in the history of our country, you wanted numbers that when all 7 swing States, 1, uh, sir. go on with your life. and the many people that say that good people friends of mine, then you have people that say that same thing. go on with your life, but you have to find out what happened because you can’t let that happen again. Look at what this lunatic did. Look at what he did. He opened our borders to people that were murderers 11. to be exact murderers and we’ve captured many of those murders. and we’re bringing them back or some of them are so dangerous that we don’t even want to bring them back. We’re afraid they’re going to try and come back in. But he allowed people to come into this country. people from mental institutions, insane asylums. That’s a mental institution on steroids people from mental institutions. a gang members, uh drug dealers People. Oh jails being emptied out into our country Venezuela emptied out. It’s almost its entire prison. population into our country but I don’t want to blame them. many countries have done that. the Congo, You know, we have a great press conference coming up later. and it’s the Congo and Rwanda. you know, they were fighting for. years. and it was machetes. It was vicious. It was as vicious people’s heads being chopped off. and I have a man who’s very good in that part of the world. very smart. and put them together. and we’re signing a peace treaty today First time in many years, they’re going to have peace. and uh, it’s a big deal, You know, we talked about Russia and we’re going to work, we’re working that 1. President Putin called up and he said, I’d love to help you. with Iran. I said, do me a favor I’ll handle Iran. helped me with Russia. We got to get that 1 settle. And I think something’s going to happen there. but we did, uh, some we did some great work India and Pakistan. I was going to be a maybe nuclear we did that. We did a lot of work. I don’t know if there’s ever been a president. That’s done much more. uh, Serbia Kosovo. who’s going to go at it. Can it be a big war? I said you go out if there’s no trade with the United States. They said, well, maybe we won’t go at it. That’s what happened with India and Pakistan. I was negotiating with both of them and I said to Scott, I said to Howard cancel all deals with India and Pakistan. They’re not trading with us because they’re in a war, they call back. What do we do? I said, look, you Want to have trade with the United States. It’s great, but you want to go and start using nuclear weapons on each other. We’re not going to allow that. and they both agreed. both have great leaders. They both agreed not to do it. So, so we did a lot but I appreciate that question. Thank you so much. Thank you. Thank you Mr. President. Um, just speaking with Senator Ron Johnson on the on the 1st, he really wants to get to yes for you. Uh, and get this accomplished. He does. He’s a good man but he also said that he needs more time and he is not certain that the July 4th deadline is well then he’s not such a good because there’s too much work to do. He’s a good man, Ron Johnson’s doing a good job. He’s very committed. every Republican senator is committed. and, you know, you could have a couple of grand standards. in all fairness. You could have somebody else and it’s very dangerous because our country would go from being the most successful country in the world To who knows what happens with the 68%. think of it? 68% tax increase. that was given by the Democrats. because they like high taxes, I don’t know what happened, you know, all my life. I’d grow up and I’d watch politicians talking. and say, oh that’s fun and they were always saying we will cut your taxes. We will cut your tax. I never heard it. They say, we will raise your taxes. and, the elect people like this guy in New York, that maybe has a chance. I find it hard to believe, but he maybe has a chance. Uh, they want to raise your taxes. So they want to see a 68% tax increase. That’s more money than anybody could afford, You’d go into a depression if that ever happened. So, I think there’s a lot of pressure to get that approved. Deadline to you, if it’s important. it’s not the end. all looking no longer but we’d like to get it done by that time. if possible and look we have a lot of very committed people and they feel very strongly about a subject subjects that you’re not even thinking about that are important to Republicans, the problem. We have Is that it’s a great bill. It’s a popular bill, but we’ll get no Democrats only because they don’t want to vote for Trump. If they if that bill was their bill. oh they would be so happy. It’s so great for a military. It’s great for everything. and They would normally vote but because their hatred of trump they have Trump. derangement syndrome at levels. Never seen before. and instead of voting for a tax cut, they’re voting for a tax increase of 68%. they’re voting to destroy Social Security, destroy Medicare, and destroy Medicaid. and we’re voting to make them perfect. And to make them better. Make them stronger and better. They’re going to destroy Medicaid and they’re going to destroy Medicare and Social Security will follow. if you vote for the Democrats. you’re dead on those 3 things. sir. Thank you, Mr. President on a related subject, many Democrats have said that they are not going to support crypto bills in Congress. only because of you and your family’s personal crypto Ventures. and these votes are in some cases needed to pass. Are you open to the idea of pulling away from your personal crypto Ventures? just for the next few years? If that helps get these crypto bills passed, in the next few months. Well, it’s a very funny thing crypto. So I became a fan of crypto and to me it’s an industry. I view it as an industry. and I’m president. And if we didn’t have a China word or somebody else who would, but most likely China, China China would love to. and we’ve dominated that industry. It’s a big industry by the way. in fact, when the stock market went down recently crypto and Bitcoin And all of that went down much less than anybody else as a group. Uh, and we’ve created a very powerful industry and that’s much more important than anything. that we invest in. We, we invest in it, but really, that was an industry. that wasn’t doing particularly well. I got doing with it a couple of years ago. and before this whole before the second term, I got involved before I uh, decided to run. I only decided to run because I saw what was happening and Biden was incompetent and the administration was crooked and incompetent And I was in Bitcoin, then not not knowing if I was going to do it a third time. so. uh, it’s become amazing. I mean it’s the jobs that are producers and I noticed more and more you pay in Bitcoin. I mean, people are saying it takes a lot of, uh, pressure off the dollar. And it’s a great thing for our country. So I I don’t care about investing, you know, I have my my I have kids and they invest in different things, They do believe in it, but I’m president. And what I did do there is build an industry, that’s very important And you know if we didn’t have a China would, okay, Go ahead. Thank you, Mr. President so um, are you going to cut funds in the sanctuary States like for instance, California, they keep supporting illegal immigration and then these people work. And yeah, we’re giving them a hard time. and also um, for the policy question, I mean they they don’t have a governor in California. They have a man that wants to give away everything to people that nobody’s seen before. Uh, if we didn’t go into Los Angeles, with the military, which did a fantastic job but if we didn’t go in to Los Angeles, bringing in the National Guard, I would have brought the military if it was necessary because you have to, we have the right to That was another thing, upheld by the Supreme Court. but if we didn’t go in with the national, Guard, and be strong and tough, uh, you wouldn’t maybe have a Los Angeles. It would be like the rest of California. The rest of Los Angeles, they lost 25,000 how houses identified. They should have lost none. you know, I sent the water down. I had to break into their water supplies because they just refused to do it. They’re crazy. There’s something wrong with them. They have plenty of water, They don’t have droughts or anything. They have we let it come down from the Pacific Northwest. they routed all the water out into the Pacific Ocean. for environmental reasons. Okay. And now you have 25,000 houses, none of, which would have burned down. Have you had the water They didn’t have water. They didn’t have water for the fire pumps. They didn’t have water in the sprinkler systems that people put it. So the answer is, uh, we’re going to work with Governors. We’re going to work with radical left Democrats and Democrats. Uh, and we’re going to make it good for everybody. We’ll have to stop the crime in those, uh, all in, in the case of, uh, the cities. I think I can say just about all cities with heavy crime are run by democrats. Go ahead. Yeah, with the glasses. I’m with you. Go ahead. Yes. No, no the man Behind you. Yeah, please. president Trump. Anthony M from Anthony Lebanon. I want to ask you regarding the threats posed by Iran’s allies and proxies operating in the US. they were threatening your life. So what do you say about that? And regarding the Lebanon? because Hezbollah is as well part of Iran’s allies. Is there any time frame? in Lebanon regarding the disarming husband? and Lebanon? Yeah. Lebanon is a great place. with brilliant people. You know, is known for the professors and doctors and had an incredible history. and hopefully we can bring it back again. I just appointed a friend of mine who’s Lebanese. And I didn’t know he was Lebanese. I’ve known her for 20 years, very, very successful man. and uh, I just appointed him. And I said, why would you want that? He said, because I was born there. I was raised there, I love it. I love it so much. I said, you know, it’s very dangerous going to Lebanon as ambassador. and he said, that’s what they say. But I don’t care about danger. I I mean this is a guy that is just a very big business guy. he wants to give up his whole life to go to Lebanon Because he believes in it so much. Uh, we’re with Lebanon all the way We’ll try and straighten it out. I think that your life as well. So what action, Threatened my life. Yeah, they have threatened. I get that throbbing feeling every once in a while. Get that throbbing feeling. But you know what? That’s okay. Uh, this is a dangerous business. business, What I do is a dangerous business, you know, I I tell the story of the car companies. and different people, in different professions you have race car drivers as an example. Uh, 1 tenth. Of 1%, die. Bull riders. 1 tenth. Of 1%, that’s not a lot but it’s people. die. When you’re president, it’s about 5%. If somebody would have told me that maybe I wouldn’t have run. okay? This is this is a very dangerous. profession. There were so many questions, Should we keep this going? Pam? this is the opposite of Biden. Biden. Biden would take half a question and he’d leave without answering it. Go ahead. tell me when it gets boring. if Iran. Are you from Iran? No, I’m not from Iran. I’m from the UK. but if um, if the intelligence reports conclude that Iran can enrich your uranium to a level that concerns you would you consider bombing the country again? without question? Absolutely. Have you had any conflict has to be unbelievable. but uh, you know, our our incredible flyers and our I call them the shots, These guys are unbelievable, I think from 52,000 ft, they hit the equivalent of a refrigerator door. They actually hit it right in the center. So it’s much smaller than that. and just bomb after bomb going deeper deeper blowing up. incredible incredible thing. I don’t know if you heard the general is very impressive, raisin Cain. you know, he’s the 1 that beat Isis for me. and he did it in a matter of weeks. and I was told it was going to take 4 or 5 years, and when I got this job, I always said, if I get this job, I’m going to put that guy as the head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. and Dan Kane and he uh when I heard his name was raising his nickname is raisin raisin Cain. I said you got to be kidding. So I’d like to refer in the beginning but he knocked out Isis. in a time that nobody ever thought possible. and when this attack was completed, and so successful, I said now I know how you knocked out Isis so quickly t we have the best people. We have the best equipment in the world, you know, I rebuilt the military during my my 4 years during my other term. we have the best equipment in the world. The problem is uh, we gave away, you know, a lot of it but small relatively speaking, we gave a lot of lot of it away to Afghanistan. Shouldn’t happen. that just shows how incompetent they were. They gave all that equipment away, billions and billions of dollars worth shouldn’t happen but that was small compared to what we have. Uh, now we have a great. a great military with great people, okay? You grew up in New York, where you own your house horrific does a tax work. Congratulations on that treaty. There are talks that perhaps that’s going to take place today at 3:00 in the Oval Office. We’re going to have a signing with Rwanda and the Congo. I have a follow so I I’m a little bit out of my league and that 1 because I it. I knew 1 thing. they t Ov were going at it for many years and with machetes it is 1 of the worst 1 of the worst wars. that anyone’s ever seen. and I just happen to have somebody that was able to get it settled. I mean just a brilliant person who is very comfortable in that part of the world. It’s a very dangerous part of the world, They said, are you uncomfortable there? people are being killed school Children are being raided and killed. And I don’t even want to say how, but as viciously as I’ve ever heard, are you uncomfortable? No. That’s the part of the world that I know very comfortable. was able to get them together and sell it. And not only that, we’re getting for the United States. Uh, a lot of the mineral rights from the Congo as part of the, they’re so honored to be here. they never thought they’d be coming to look. This is a very tough part of the world. they never thought they were just telling me they never thought they’d ever be coming to the White House and they’re so honored and so we’re going to give him a great, big reception But that’s after many years of fighting, it’s a great thing. that’s at 3:00, I believe. Sir are are you concerned at all about secret nuclear sites in Iran and you talk about maybe just just secret nuclear side. Yes. there might be some of those greater Tell you. They’re exhausted. And Israel’s exhausted, too. And I dealt with both of them. And they both wanted it settled both of them. And we did a great job, but they’re exhausted. The last thing they’re thinking about right now is no clear. You know what they’re thinking of They’re thinking about tomorrow trying to Live with such a mess, It’s such a mess. The place was bombed to hell. and, no, I’m not worried about it at all. and, I’m putting out a little statement. I’m going to respond to the Ayatollah statement. uh yesterday that we won the war. Oh God, the won the war. And I said, look, you’re a man of great faith. Man, who’s highly respected in this country? You have to tell the truth, you got beat to hell. and, Israel was beat up, too. They will both beat up. and it was a great time to end it. It was quick. They got the hate out there, a lot of hate, A lot of hate, it would be great if they didn’t have that hate, but the last thing they’re thinking about is Nuclear weapons right now. Please. weapons right now. Please. Thank you, Mr. President Iris. hell with NTD research to Media with the alpak times. Thank you so much for doing this. It’s very refreshing for all of us here. in this room. Um, so refreshing. Very refreshing. Yes, we have And, you know, I I understand what you mean. So, thank you so much for coming out here other than Caroline’s, done a great job. She you’re referring to the past administration, not to Caroline, right? Yes. Um, back to the ruling today if you don’t mind. So you have always talked about. winning for the American people. How do you think today’s ruling will enable you to further deliver for American families and workers? across the country? Not only when it comes to immigration. but also, when it comes to trade, energy, what actions are most eager to move forward? Well, I think taking power away from these Absolutely. crazy. Radical left Judges is is a tremendous This is such a big day. This is such a big day. It’s like, uh, it’s sort of sad because we’re doing the, the signing at 3:00 and I, you know, this may very well dominate the signing of a big war that was going on and really affecting the continent of think of it. The entire continent of Africa was being affected and it was settled. We’re settling that wore today and this will probably be your headline, But this is a very big moment. and it gives uh, gives power back to people that should have it including Congress including the presidency. And it, it only takes bad power away from judges It really doesn’t it takes bad power sick power, And unfair power, and it’s really going to be It’s this is a very Monumental decision. Yeah, please. on July. uh, July 9th is that July 9th date, uh, a set for tariffs to stand back or could they could there be a, we can do whatever we want. We can extend it, we could make it shorter, I’d like to make it shorter, I’d like to just send letters out to everybody Congratulations. You’re paying 25. nicer person than I. so, I have to finish it up. reconsidering for the Federal Reserve, then and are you speeding up that process? I see secret. Oh, he’s terrible, he’s terrible. I mean, I have a list of things where like 38 on the list would pay, you know, Cameroon. And different places are paying. the same as us. because, you know, you have somebody sets a rate at 4% or 4 and a half percent. It’s hard to go out and say, we should be paying 1% when you have your. so-called experts doing it. and the sad part is, you know, as per the question that you asked about, tariffs, uh, we’ve had the tariffs and we have less inflation that we had before. what we have is a hell of a lot more money. a hell of a lot more income. and we shouldn’t be paying a rate like that In other words, when we pay a rate, I’ll tell you. Each point is the equivalent of 300 billion dollars. So if we had it down 3 points, because I think we should be at 1, uh, you have Switzerland is at 255. in other words, 25% of 1%. and, they’re the number 1 right now. but we should be the number 1. and sooner you’re going to have I believe, I think you’re going to have where the people will pay the you know, will pay like we had a feouyears ago. where you put up money. you loan money. and I mean, you actually instead of paying you get paid I love that. I don’t know if it’s any good but I love it. where you put up money. and you get paid. but we should be in a category so we should be at the top of the list not toward the bottom of the list. but we have a man who’s not a smart man. And he probably has trumped Arrangements in general. and, he’s just not a smart person, what he’s doing though, he’s hurting us for years to come. because if we borrow money at 2 points higher than we should be paying, that’s 600 billion dollars, you wouldn’t you say those numbers are about, Right Scott. So it’s 2 points would be about. 600 actually more than that. but about 600 million all because the guy doesn’t want to lower the rates. he is doing the service, a very disturb and then he goes up talks about I’d like to see costs come down, you know, he gets up and he does his little thing for 5 minutes and he goes out and he goes back to the beach. hey guys, I’d like to see cost come down. Well, he could lower the interest cost by 900 billion dollars a year. All he has to do is lower rates. and everybody’s saying I was watching some of the business shows today. and they’re saying, you know, Trump’s right He should really be cutting the country’s doing well. We have no inflation. now despite him we’re doing great. But if we got the rates down, we would be a rocket ship. So I think that’ll be it and I just want to thank everybody. Um, this is a really big day. We’ve had We’ve had a big win. You know, we’ve had a big week, we’ve had a lot of Victories this week, uh, NATO was a tremendous victory. Uh, the war was a the Look, we were talking about this. for 30 years about Iran being nuclear. and all I said, is it will not be nuclear and it’s not going to be nuclear. and, uh, then I want to give credit to a lot of people. and most importantly to our great military boy. They put out that fire Once that happened, once those bombs got dropped, that that war was over. That war was over, but I just want to compliment them. incredible, the general. and all of his generals. Uh, peat. Hags death was great. they all. And now I want to compliment Pam. Uh, a lot of Genius went into this, you know, people. if you don’t say it. Exactly, right. If the Supreme Court doesn’t get it because it’s incorrectly. uh, spoken about and that happens a lot of cases are lost because they don’t They don’t say the right words, but I want to correct. She’s going to go down as a great Attorney General. I may change it. My mind about that, I don’t know, if maybe someday I’ll have call and say I was only getting she’s going to go down as a great attorney general. This was a tremendous win and we’ve had tremendous wins, but this was a tremendous win today. So I just want to congratulate you and Todd and your whole staff for a brilliant people and we can’t forget John sour, That’s right. Who is with uh There’s a medical emergency within his family. So he’s taking care of that and we said absolutely. So I just want to thank everybody very much. Thank you.
