Today is Thursday, June 12th, 2025, glorious year of our Lord. Trump will be speaking live momentarily on the show, his scheduled speech from the Oval Office at 11 a.m. Eastern Standard Time. So ladies and gentlemen, that'll be live on our show today as Donald Trump is in a massive showdown, Western shootout with the liberal leaders of California who have bent the knee. Both Karen Bass and Gavin Newsom has just given up. They've just given up.

And now they are groveling to President Trump. Along with Walmart, very interesting, we'll cover that in just a moment. Is Israel about to launch World War III? All of the word on the street is that Israel is about to start World War III with Iran. God help us. We're gonna talk about that today.

Harmit Dillon from the Department of Justice, head of the Civil Rights Division joins the program along with great thinker and Californian Mike Cernovich who will talk through all of this. He of course lives in the area. Maybe we'll be able to see the smoke from his house. Lee Greenwood also joins the show to just do cool Lee Greenwood stuff. Talk about God blessing the USA, man. My name is Benny Johnson, and this is the Benny Show. Okay, times are topsy turvy. We didn't even preview

that there's been a massive commercial airliner crash. Why the hell does this keep happening? We're gonna talk about that too. 242 soles on board of a massive Boeing 787 airliner that smashed into a building, ladies and gentlemen. So get ready. It's going to be a wild one. The point is that it is a topsy turvy time.

Okay, so I talked about yesterday how there is left-wing Marxist, violent revolutionary protester fatigue. Okay, and Alux, can you grab, those videos of the three protesters from yesterday, the, uh, uh, the discharged, uh, uh, army chick, the couple that was stopping the black lady from getting to work.

And then cheesy Gordita crunch. Thank you. There's fatigue right now. Everybody's done with this. We're done with having our cities burn. We're done with having a foreign army on our soil. It's a great post this morning from Stephen Miller. Let's grab that and pop it up. Stephen Miller saying, Joe Biden brought in half a million criminal aliens per

month, half a million per month, not feted, just dropped into your hometown of mine. They don't love this land. In fact, they probably despise it. They're here to be parasites. They're here to glean and suck the blood out of the bloodstream. They come here because we have goodies, free healthcare, welfare, free cars and housing. Remember how the lavish life was for these criminal aliens? And Steven Miller says, you know what, removing the same number monthly as Biden admitted would be an incredibly modest position. Stephen Miller saying at least we got to send home half a million criminal aliens at least per month. Who's in favor of that? How much what should be the target range per month? Because what you're seeing right now is the Donald Trump was right

button. We got to get that killer client. We got to get that. We got to get like a button. We should get like a red button that we can hit. That's like the Donald Trump was right. And we can go like, right, we can hit that. We can hit it, you know, like that. We, Donald Trump was right. Boom, Donald Trump is your president. Right? Like we get a sound effect for it. You know, boom. That's probably it. The rap horn. And we hit the red button. Okay. And it's Trump was right. Because what is Miller saying here? Stephen Miller's saying they brought in an invasion army. It's the same way that Rome fell, same way the Greece fell, same way the Peloponnesians fell. It's the same way, of course, that every great nation falls. You have your land invaded by foreigners. We talked

about Deuteronomy yesterday. I knit this all together quite nicely here. Deuteronomy says don't let foreigners into your land. They'll conquer you. You let too many foreigners in. They'll take all your land. They'll conquer you. You let too many foreigners in, they'll take all your money, they'll take all your resources, they'll parasitically eat you from the inside, and then you'll be their slaves. It's a great verse from Deuteronomy, ladies and gentlemen.

45, I think was the chapter. So here we are, Steven Miller out and out this morning saying we are planning on a half a million deportations a month at the minimum. That should be our threshold, says Stephen Miller, who according to the New York Times, his voice cracked as he ripped through ice and homeland security in a scorched earth call talking about how they need to ratchet up the deportations and do it now.

Ladies and gentlemen, these are people who are set will to power. You've never seen anything like it for Republicans. Republicans are always just total cucks. And this, this is what this moment is. This moment. And if we could play some of the criminality, if we play the foreign invader army footage, please. I just want to like talk through this. What this is, is not like people are upset at George Floyd, people are upset at the police, they're upset at inequality. They're not upset at any of that. They hate America. This is not like I'm trying, we're doing our best to try and fix this broken system. No, it's like we're a foreign army that's here and you're trying to remove us, so we'll fight you

in order to keep the ground we've conquered. It's a war, it's a literal war. And President Trump is calling in the Marines, the National Guard, our service members to defend America. That's the point, by the way. What's recruitment numbers going to look like for the Marines? When people start seeing the real devil dogs locking in to defend American cities from

the aliens? It's always Marines versus aliens in LA. It's always, there's like 10 movies where it's Marines versus aliens in LA. And here it is. It's called predictive programming. When you fly a foreign country's flag in this country, after coming here illegally from that country, parasitically sucking the blood out of our nation, burning our streets, cars and businesses to the ground, attacking Americans, and then shrieking like demons when we try and send you back to the country whose flag you're waving. Wow.

It just gives us all the extra pleasure to see it happen. And what you're seeing right now is a total and complete destruction of any last visage of the Democrat party, pretending to care about not the working class, not blacks, not whites, not like poor people, just Americans. Okay. So let's zoom out here. Democrats have always tried to like cobble together these little like influence groups, right? that we care about. It's just prima facie Americans. Do you care? Like the question at hand has been, has now been zoomed out to do you care about Americans or do you care about criminal aliens from the third world who are here because the Democrat party flew them here, brought them here, flung open our doors and allowed them to infest your city.

And now look at what they've done. This is the, bing, Trump was right, I'm gonna try it. Bing. Trump said, bing. Trump said these are foreign invaders, they're foreign. It's a foreign army. Al X science. One more. One more. I promise. Just one. Donald Trump, his first, his first speech ever after a declared minute into declaring his candidacy for president in 2015, 10 long years ago, he said they're not sending their best.

Trump was right in the, in the, in the long arc of history, how many times have we had to hit this button? The Trump was right button. One of those like red button, like a nice red button that we can hit. President Trump warned us on the first, his first minutes running for president, that they're not saying their best. They're saying murders, rapists, they're sending invaders. Let's grab that clip because I'd actually like to live in nostalgia with that one. The point is that he's right again. And what they've done here is they've proven Trump right.

Some people are like, some people are like, ah, you know, I wanted Trump because I wanted a good economy again. But maybe he went a little hard on the immigration stuff. This has radicalized the population. Now people are fighting back. It's incredible. Check out this footage.

Check this out. Here's a dude. There's a someone, it's a hooligan. I don't know if he's a criminal alien or not. Okay, I don't know. I don't know if he's a criminal alien or not. Okay. I don't know. I don't know his immigration status, but a hooligan, a domestic terrorist throws a bottle at cops in LA and he throws that bottle and they shoot a couple of paintballs at him,

right? Or whatever, you know, the shoot. What you'll see is like a couple of like little you know smoke grenades go off so he assaults an officer and then watch what happens when a citizen decides they've had enough watch whoa can the Green Bay Packers hire this guy? Yeah, that's a nice boom. That's a nice one. Look at him go! Look at this and then... Watch him go.

Sure, the chat is melting down. Can we get love for this guy in the chat? Can we get some love for this man in the chat? I don't know who this man is. Find me this man. Find me this man. Find him. Find me that man. We'll take care of him.

I want to give that guy an award. I want to have him on the show. I want to give that guy an award. I want to have them on the show. I want to say thanks because this is what fatigue looks like. Eventually what's about what's going to happen is when you lose enough people, we realize that what these criminal individuals are doing again, I don't know the guy's immigration. Look at that form client. Look at that. Like eventually like what's going to happen is the American like the American public is already fatigued entirely on this and they're going. People are going to say we're through. We know what this does to our communities who know what

this does to our nation. We know what you're doing. You're foreign invader and you're finished here. You start, you're starting to see the fraying, the pulling apart. This is what's called a 90 10 issue. It's when 90% of the country says we've had it off. And that 10% is going to get rocked. And you're seeing it. We had the pollster, the best pollster in America on yesterday telling us they're done. The American public is sick.

There is total and complete fatigue right now for left-wing Marxist radicalism burning down our cities and torturing our people. We're done. So in the name of Lake and Riley sit your ass down, son, let him go. Boom. Oh man. Find me that man. It's not just him too.

We've had a couple of tackles actually out of LA. Here we go. Ladies and gentlemen, check this dude out. Dude on a, a dude on a scooter went and assaulted cops, was throwing rocks at cops. And the dude on the scooter tried to go zipping through and got lo-balled. Bam! Oh yes.

Oh yeah, let him go. Boom! Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, this is an AI. I think that the AI, I think the AI, so what we did was we prompted AI. We said, AI, what does Donald Trump wanna do to these Mexican flag waving protesters?

This is the AI, just reload it. Just reload the window, please. Yeah, the one that you have up. So what does Trump wanna do here? What does Trump wish to do? Here we go, this is what AI gave us. What would Donald Trump do if given the chance to stand in the streets in these protests?

AI, sometimes AI really just really nails it. Really nails it. Well done, Jerry. Well done. Yeah. You know it's true. Yeah, you know it. And this is emblematic of all of America right now.

It's just, we're done. Trump has been proven right. They were criminal invaders. This was true. He was right all along. Here's President Trump in his earliest speech to America, his earliest speech, his first speech ever as a presidential candidate. Look at this, Trump to Jeb Bush. That's what that was, this was the, this was the conversation at the time. His first speech ever as a presidential candidate, Donald Trump said this. When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best. They're not sending you. They're not sending you. They're sending people that have lots of problems and they're bringing those problems with us they're bringing drugs they're bringing crime ladies and gentlemen

that that that was cut off unnecessarily early that's all right ladies and gentlemen uh-oh there it is there we go but you get the point you've all seen it. They're not sending their best they're not sending their best okay do we do we want to do it just because we're in just we're in a tackling mood do we want to do this one? All right Jerry has something special for all y'all you know if you're new here you know that Jerry is our in-house meme maker, and he makes custom memes every single show. We're the only show in the world that has a custom meme every single show for you. We have nothing but love for you. And Jerry says if you're going

to do tackles, you can't miss this one. So ladies and gentlemen a special treat from our in-house meme master. Here we go. Wearing number one for the Los Angeles traffic today is nine-year-old Tommy Douglas. Tommy has lived most of his life in the hospital after being born with a potato for a heart and will undergo a heart transplant surgery next weekend. He's about as big of a traffic fan as they come so in partnership with the Grant-A grant a wish foundation both teams have agreed to come together and have Tommy run the first play of the game and he got the handoff and there he goes move a little cutback move and it looks like he's gonna go all the way look at him go wow this is really one of those heartwarming moments in sports where you just, Oh, Oh my God.

That was just, that is a pre a perfect, a perfect explainer of how the 2020 and 2016 and 2024 elections have gone. All right, ladies and gentlemen, President Trump. Last night on Truth Social, here's the updates. And again, the president will be speaking live on the show, but we're really excited to have Harmi Dhillon joining us from the Department of Justice. We have so many questions for her.

Let's rock and roll. Los Angeles was safe and sound for the last two nights. Our great national guard, with a little help from the Marines, put the LA police in a position to effectively do their job. They worked well together, but without the military, Los Angeles would be a crime scene like we haven't seen in years.

Governor Gavin Newscum has totally lost control of the situation. He should be saying thank you for saving his ass instead of trying to justify his mistakes and incompetence. And he did have incompetence as we've played you yesterday. He did a live stream without any audio. Klein, do we got audio? Yeah, okay, great.

We got sound effects too. We got memes. We're letting her rip and we even do guests and so on. We do a lot of special stuff and we'll be live. Like just in this stream alone, we'll be taking Trump live. We'll do a bunch of, we have three guests. We do audio, sound effects, memes, live adding clips.

Gavin Newsom can't do a single pre-recorded, pre-recorded message correctly. What a coward. This is, I mean, again, you know, listen, live by the DEI, DEI by the DEI. President Trump at the Kennedy Center last night, he was going to Les Miserables with the stunning Melania Trump. You'll love to see it.

They went to the opening of the Kennedy Center. They've done a lot of cleaning of the house there. And President Trump commenting about the riots last night, let's go. Things in the ground, just like it was a number of months ago with the housing, there and President Trump commenting about the riots last night. Let's go. Just like it was a number of months ago with the housing, you would have had a big problem there. We weren't the effective police chief said so much.

And you're looking at what his statements were. He said, we're very lucky to have had that. If we weren't there, that city would be burning to the ground. We'd be burning right now. Mr. President, if this turns into another summer of unrest, what are you prepared to do, sir? About what? If this turns, well, the protests have spread down

to 16 cities across the US. If this turns in- That's what you're saying. Do I believe you? I don't think so. Well, I got that from the Fox News brain room. What we have is a situation in Los Angeles that was caused by gross incompetence.

They didn't have the police to handle it. The police were asking us to come in. They were very late. We had to go in to save a lot of ice officers, as you know, who were held up. They were hold up in a building and they were being attacked. And the military went in. The National Guard went in and got them. The police weren't able, unfortunately, to move fast enough, but we move fast enough. got them, the police weren't able, unfortunately, to move fast enough. But we moved fast enough. And while we were there, we stayed there, and we stopped tremendous destruction and death. We stopped death. We stopped a lot. And if you look at them cutting up and breaking up the sidewalk and getting it and using it as a weapon, did you see that? With the curb?

Where they're breaking up the curb, a nice curb, and they break it up with a hammer because they couldn't get the bricks in. You know, they got caught with the bricks. We have them under arrest. They were bringing bricks in to throw at our police, to throw at our National Guard, and to throw at people. And they couldn't get them in because we got them. And after we got them, they went and took a big hammer

and started breaking up the concrete sidewalk and curb, and they were handing it out to people to throw and drop on cars. You saw what they did to damage So if you don't do something about that, there's something very wrong. We are gonna have law and order in our country Ladies and gentlemen, the question that we've had for quite a number of days is who the hell is funding all of this? The question that we've had for quite a number of days is who the hell is funding all of this? How are these protesters getting leaf blowers and expensive gas masks and how are bricks being dropped in these very special little locations where they can be thrown and hurled at cops?

That is of course what's happening here. Our military members lives are at stake. It is a war. Make no mistake about it. It's not people protesting over the price of coffee or something that they don't like inside of the, you know, political ecosystem, little law that didn't know it's a war. It's, it's, it's an insurrection against the United States itself. It needs to be put down like a dog. Carolyn Levitt yesterday, uh, making sure that the reporters in the White House press room

knew their place. Carolyn Levitt going completely and totally scorched earth on this. And there's, it is utterly indefensible the actions of these foreign insurrectionists. But boy, have you ever given the Trump administration plenty of landing room on this issue. Here we go. The president views himself as the president of the United States of America. This is a constitutional republic

and we want to see all of our citizens be proud of the country in which they are given the privilege and the blessing to live. And I think that those images of foreign flags being waved by illegal criminals and by violent rioters in the face of cars blowing up and of flames in the city. I have photos of that here to show you with this violence and destruction that occurred

is an image that Governor Gavin Newsom owns. This is his city and President Trump saw these images and he said that is not going to be accepted or tolerated and hence why he deployed the National Guard and United States Marines. Thanks so much, Caroline. The President warned that any protests on Saturday would be met with force. Can you clarify what kind of protest President Trump

does support or find acceptable? The President absolutely supports peaceful protests. He supports the First Amendment. He supports the right of Americans to make their voices heard. He does not support violence of any kind. He does not support assaulting law enforcement officers who are simply trying to do their job. It's very clear for the president what he supports and what he does not.

Unfortunately for Democrats, that line has not been made clear, and they've allowed this unrest and this violence to continue, and the president has had to step in. One question. So if there were peaceful protests on Saturday for the military parade, President Trump would allow that? Of course the president supports peaceful protests. What a stupid question. Raquel. Thank you so much, Caroline. What a stupid question. Ladies and gentlemen, in just a moment, we're going to be joined by

the great Harmeet Dhillon, who of course heads the civil rights division at the department of justice. We have so many important questions to ask her. One of them is about Brandon Johnson. He's the mayor of Chicago and he's actually, I believe, under investigation by the DOJ. Can't wait to talk about this, but I just have to get to this clip, very spicy clip, where he says that Donald Trump is a confederate. This is what would happen at the Confederacy one, which is a fascinating thought experiment here in the way that like the left wing hive mind broke brain, but the dual capacity to hold two thoughts and one like, cause actually what's truly happening in this country is a literal insurrection against the power of the United States of America, the power of our constitution, our bill of rights and so on. So which side is Brandon Johnson on?

You really need to ask that question in the context of, well, the historic realities of the Civil War. Whose side is insurrecting against the American people, the American founding documents, against law and order, and against most importantly, the will of the American people, right? Because we voted for this, got what I voted for, again, Meadow, I voted for mass deportations. We weren't subtle about this. They were holding up signs at the RNC, You might recall mass deportations now were the signs and people voted for Donald Trump in a massive landslide. It's why I continue to have this map up here on the wall to show you what country you live in a country that wants and demands these mass deportations, but it's Brandon Johnson's side that is insurrecting against the will of

the American people. Here we go. They are absolutely terrified. And that's, look, I remember a few standups ago when I talked about what terrorism looks like. This is it. There should be no question to what our country would look like had the Confederacy won. We're seeing it on full display.

And... All right, this is what would happen if the Confederacy won. Wow, what an important way to kick off our conversation with the great Harmeet Dhillon, ladies and gentlemen. Harmeet Dhillon is the Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights at the US Department of Justice. We're so honored to have her on our program live now.

We're so honored to have her on our program live now. We're so honored to have her on our program live now. We're so honored to have her on our program live now. We're so honored to have her on our program live now. We're so honored to have her on our program live now. We're so honored to have her on our program live now. We're so honored to have her on our program live now. We're so honored to have her on our program live now. Harmeet, we've had multiple members of the Trump administration on none of them have shown us backyard cooking,

gardening and knitting content. And so we just want to say thank you for that. You're welcome. Yeah, it's fun to follow along. And good luck there in DC. We tried to get a garden to grow their tough, tough, tough soil in that city. Yeah, it is. It is.

I had to actually truck in some good soil to make that happen, but it's going well. Thank you. You're trucking quite a bit in your new role and you have taken a pretty aggressive stance in favor of law and order in this country against, let's start with Brandon Johnson. He's the mayor of Chicago.

And he bragged about hiring based on race and how excited he was about that and discriminatory policies against white people, Hispanic people in his city. Can you give us an update on that investigation? Well, we are investigating. I can't really talk about the content of the investigation at this time,

but what I can tell you is that you're absolutely correct. The American people voted for the equal application of our civil rights laws in the United States. And that is what they're getting from this Department of Justice. Without fear or favor, we are going to go after people who discriminate on the basis of race.

And in this country, in 2025, that is typically people like Brandon Johnson, like, frankly, big American corporations and like the elite universities in the United States. They are very comfortable with decades of court sanctioned discrimination, which is now ending a Supreme Court one by one is knocking down the precedents that have allowed this type of discrimination. Just last week, the Supreme Court ruled that sort of majority or mainstream plaintiffs who are suing for discrimination in a company don't have to prove a higher standard of discrimination. They simply have to prove that they were discriminated against.

That is the American way. That is how the statutes were written. And Brandon Johnson and every other big city mayor who's engaging in this type of discrimination is going to be held to the standards of the Civil Rights Act. Now, I find that very natural and comfortable. He finds it very uncomfortable, but welcome to the new reality, Mayor Johnson.

Yeah, I'd love to get you just your take on this ruling. It seems like a very common sense ruling. A woman in Ohio who was discriminated against because she was straight, got passed over and then demoted for employees who were gay multiple times. And she sued and the Supreme court sided with her, nine oh, which was a shock to me.

Maybe it wasn't to you, Harmete, your take on this ruling. Well, look, there's probably some politics behind the scene and the fact that one particular justice signed the opinion. And that's probably some maneuvering by the Supreme Court to show that it too can actually come out with widely popular rulings occasionally. That's been a bit of a failure at some points recently.

But this ruling tracks exactly what the language of the Civil Rights Act says. It doesn't say that certain races or certain characteristics have a higher standard of proof than others. It simply says that it's illegal in America to discriminate on the basis of protected characteristics, and the Supreme Court has included those characteristics, has included sexual orientation of those characteristics.

So that means both sides, if you will, have the right to equal opportunity and you should not get a job or be denied a job on the basis of who you choose to sleep with. This seems very common sense to me and I welcome that. And by the way, that's already how we were operating in the United States Department of Justice. It was already my ruling. I've already brought cases in California and other jurisdictions for majority plaintiffs who have been the victim of DEI policies, and we've won some of those cases. And so this is

now going to be the new reality in America, and it is a great reality for all Americans. Yes. Okay. So let's talk about California real fast. So what's going on with some of these Mexican nationalist groups and some of these Hispanic supremacist groups that are openly advocating on the street that California belongs to Mexico, that Americans need to all leave California. We're hearing some unbelievably radical talk and that's followed up of course by very violent action, action against our own American military, which prima facie seems like an open attack against America itself.

Well, Benny, when I saw the scenes on Los Angeles of people waving these giant Mexican flags, I had PTSD because we saw the exact same scenes in San Jose, California, during one of President Trump's first rallies in California during the 2016 election cycle. The date was June 2nd. And out of nowhere, we don't typically see organically

people waving these giant Mexican flags in California. And I call it riot in a box. Someone provided the rioters in that case with these giant flags and a whole playbook. And that playbook is playing out here. So this is not organic what you're seeing here. We don't see these scenes in California on a rolling basis. Someone provided the flags, someone provided the accelerant,

and someone provided those expensive face masks that deter facial recognition technology. And so this is a well-funded insurrection in the United States. It is not organic. It is not coming from sort of nascent unrest in California, but it is divisive. It could be foreign funded.

I don't know that. I'm confident that my friends in the FBI are aggressively tracing the sources of the money. Just this morning, less than an hour ago, my dear friend, Bill Asseli posted on X that they arrested a agitator who was distributing these masks. These masks are expensive.

So I am sure that the FBI is going to get to the bottom of all those communications with this criminal who tried to help these rioters and insurrectionists deter recognition. We are not going to be deterred by this. And between Pam Bondi, the president, and all the folks here at the DOJ, this is really job one,

putting down this unrest in the United States and making sure that people feel safe again. Yes, even in beautiful California, California is worth saving and worth fighting for. And if anything, I think that these riots and the pallid, lame response from the governor is actually turning, is actually radicalizing everyday Californians against these sanctuary policies, which will be a great thing for America. Yeah. I mean, we've, we've, we started the show off by playing videos of California and she's getting sick of this.

I think there's absolute and total fatigue against Marxist revolutionaries in this country. Totally agree. And, and, and I think the city, even the citizens of California, I've had enough. Okay. So this is very interesting. We have the post-up right here of the arrest. This is the gentleman who dropped off what had to have been tens of thousands of dollars

worth of very expensive gas masks. And he drove a truck right into the protest and he started giving away gas masks so that people could agitate against the police. He looks like he's wearing some type of paramilitary uniform here. And according to some of the research that I've seen, he's part of a Mexican nationalist group.

He's part of a radicalized Mexican nationalist group that of course is calling for Mexico to just retake over California. Is this going to stand here? You know, and more importantly, you know, do you have any instinct as to how this is being funded? Look, there are several suspects for the funding. Like I said, what I saw on the streets there

looked identical to what I saw in 2016. And we've seen it during BLM protests as well. This is opportunistic Marxism bringing in every movement. That's why you see people wearing keffiyehs joining the fray. These are costumes. These are costumes. These are signaling for a media narrative. And I think the looting and so forth is incidental to that. It's opportunistic. But really the imagery we're seeing is planned and deliberate. And it is the divisiveness, I think, that is the goal here. It is the divisiveness, I think that is the goal here. It is the design of dividing and terrorizing Americans.

And frankly, what is the most shameful and shocking about this is elected leaders in California, the governor, the mayor of Los Angeles, others, effectively saying that a condition of the ending the rioting is that we stop enforcing our borders in the United States, which as you said, people voted for, I think your everyday American does not want looters and rioting in their neighborhoods. And so this is blackmail.

And so Americans are being conditioned to watch their TV screens and see their elected leaders say, the only way this radical criminal behavior that people are getting used to in Europe, we do not wanna get used to it here in the United States, it'll only stop if we stop enforcing the laws. Well, that is an unacceptable condition because that is the beginning of the end

of the United States. This is the greatest country in America and under no circumstances can we allow those circumstances to thrive here. And so this will not deter us in the DOJ from doing our job. And if anything, if Governor Newsom had any sense, he would have been the first person to pick up the phone

and call the National Guard. He would have been a hero in California if he'd done that, but he missed his opportunity. And I think he is seeing like those flames in Los Angeles, his presidential aspirations go up in smoke. So much to be said about the state of California and the happenings at a place not too far from where you're from Berkeley.

Berkeley had Brandon Tatum on campus and he was attacked violently by what you just called a Marxist rent-a-mob. And this was an organized attack. He's of course there to speak on behalf of a minority political opinion on that campus. And he was physically assaulted by this group and the police did nothing.

In fact, the police protected the protesters instead of Brandon Tatum on campus. Now this happens regularly with turning point USA. I know you're familiar with the group, but this happens across the nation. Is this going to simply just be something that we allow forever that any turning point table or any table with Republicans or any kid wearing a maga hat on a college campus is a target for Marxist and left-wing extremism.

I mean, if there's ever a protected minority class, if there's ever a class that can be considered a true minority, deeply outnumbered, it is a conservative wearing a MAGA hat on Berkeley's campus. Well, so this is a complex issue. I actually went to court in 2017 to sue UC Berkeley because they refused to allow certain conservative speakers on campus, including Ann Coulter, David Horowitz. These folks were not allowed to speak on the campus at all.

So we went to court, we sued them, and we want on behalf of the Berkeley College Republicans and Young America's Foundation that when there are applications to speak on the campus in an official capacity, Berkeley has to provide equal protection and not charge extra for security. This seems to be a slightly different kind of event involving tabling, which is in a free space, sort of a free speech zone on the campus. And so the different problem here is that it actually lies with the Department of Justice in a way, because for decades, the United States Department of Justice, liberal activists here in this building have gone after the police.

They've joined hands with BLM movement and other movements before that to say that police are bad. When police exercise force to quell disturbances, that's a violation of people's civil rights, their right to protest. Of course, you don't have a right to be violent and disrupt other people's speech. That's a classic norm of the First Amendment. And so the police have been conditioned for decades now to sit on their hands and not take any action.

I witnessed this in San Jose in 2016. We've seen it in the BLM riots in 2020. And now we're seeing it today on these campuses. As a legal matter, the police in Berkeley cannot be forced to sort of enforce the law. They can have their policies from above, but to the extent that they can create dangerous conditions, that's not protected by the law. And so I'd be interested to know whether they contributed to the dangerous conditions there by blocking off exits or anything like that. That's something that's not allowed. out. Ultimately, we have to empower the police in our country by letting them know that if they do their jobs, they're not going to get thrown in jail or have to fill out 90 reams

of paperwork from Washington, D.C. And so, as you may have seen in the DOJ in the early days of my tenure here just a few weeks ago, we have actually been systematically withdrawing consent decree filings by the prior administration and dismissing flawed factual findings, claiming that the police were engaging in unlawful conduct by simply, you know, engaging with wrongdoers and arresting them. So, there, it will take many years, I think, to change people's attitudes on this issue. And so we need to start this process, but ultimately want to empower police

all over the United States to endorse and follow the law. But look in Berkeley, if the police chief is ordering the police to arrest and rough up these criminals, they may lose their position. And so there's a political angle to this as well. So until we change the laws that really forced the police to be held accountable, this is what you're gonna see in Berkeley.

It just seems like there's no Republican or conservative or red community in this country where you see open and active attacks against leftists or liberals, but you can find them even on the streets right outside of the building that you're in right now. Well, one of your colleagues, Ed Martin, where he got assaulted, uh, live on TV. This is how empowered the left feels to attack and assault Republicans that are just standing at that.

Their crimes are just standing in the street, whether it's Brandon Tatum on Berkeley or whether it's this individual, uh individual here in Washington, DC. Now, would you be in favor of amending the Civil Rights Act to include political protection? Because what this is a hate crime. The way that we see it is it's a hate crime, Harmeet, where someone is saying this black conservative wearing a MAGA hat doesn't have a right to exist.

So we're gonna physically attack them based on their immutable qualities, right? And, and it's the same as a religious attack or a racial attack. And it just, it just, we've done years of coverage of this. Nothing seems to be changing. I'm wondering your take on that. Well, look, I can't speak to legislation or changes of that nature, but I will tell you that in California, uh, discrimination on the basis and employment on the basis of politics is illegal. speak to legislation or changes of that nature, but I will tell you that in California, discrimination on the basis and employment on the basis of politics is illegal. And so that actually has

been the basis of several lawsuits that I filed when I was a plaintiff's lawyer in California successfully. And so, you know, that it's easy to expand that if legislators want to do that, but that's not my purview, working for the executive branch right now, so I'll decline to take a position on that. But what I will say is that setting aside the hate aspect of it, spitting on people and attacking people, like the DOJ has been saying in recent days, if you spit, we hit. They're following that in protests throughout the United States. I mean, I've been heckled at the DMV here in DC. And so it is a risk that every person takes when they're serving in this administration, that they may be publicly harassed and attacked. It is something that I'm on high alert on all the time.

In San Francisco, interestingly, I could walk around and nobody really harassed me too much. But here in DC, it is a very divisive environment. And so anyone serving in this administration is at risk on the streets of being harassed, attacked and so forth. And so it is a tense situation here. Yeah, it is awful to see. And it's terrible to see it not improve.

We all remember when Sarah Sanders was chased out of a restaurant in the first administration. She wasn't allowed to eat there. It's like going back to the old, like the war stories of the pre-civil rights era, right? It's like we don't want your kind in our restaurant. They did that to Sarah Sanders. Yeah.

Yeah, not good. Yeah, we've seen it. Okay, so it'd be really nice to get, it'd be really nice to get like heavy enforcement against some of these individuals to deter this because I think that's probably the best deterrence is going to jail. I think so.

You can see our administration is not pulling any punches in these riots in Los Angeles. If anything, the governor still has the ability to call out the majority of the National Guard. I think they've only called out about a quarter of it, or the President could do that too if necessary. But we're going to see some protests here in D.C. this weekend with the 250th anniversary of the Army celebrations here. There will be, as was mentioned in the White House press conference, there'll be some unrest here. I'm planning to attend those celebrations

with a lot of my colleagues here at the DOJ. We're proud of our military here in this administration, but everyone has to be on alert about these things. Final question, and it's one that we've been asking on the show. There was a high profile murder that occurred in Texas. The murderer was, his name is Carmelo Anthony, and he stabbed a young white student to death over what seems to be like the smallest of possible disputes that attract me. People are a little concerned

about this case because you're starting to see like major leniency happening here with the with the murderer and people are rightly very upset that of course he's had his bond lowered and that he's able to just go hang out at home and go graduate and so on saying this of course these are not the things that would have been this seems to be a dual standard here and would never have been applied this seems to be a dual standard here and would never have been applied if the races were reversed. I'd just like to get your take on this case. Is the Civil Rights Department looking into this?

Was this, you know, do you have any instinct that this might have been a hate crime? Can you comment on the Carmelo Anthony murder? Well, what I can say is that, first of all, United States Department of Justice will typically only come in and prosecute a crime where we have jurisdiction and where the facts are very clear and also where the local authorities

haven't taken care of it properly. So we would have to reserve judgment on that issue as we see what happens in this prosecution. But what I can say is that you have to understand that throughout the United States, thanks to again, liberal activists that have come out of this DOJ and gone on to form nonprofits, be funded by Soros, et cetera, is that bail standards have systematically been changed throughout the United States through litigation. And I believe Texas is actually one of those places where at the county level this has

happened. It's happened in California as well, have started with San Francisco and moving out. Bail has effectively been destroyed in many parts of the United States, monetary bail. And this is a sort of criminal justice reform, again, form of Marxism really, where the idea is that we don't assume this person

is a danger to society. I think we't assume this person is a danger to society. I think we can assume this person is a danger to society. I certainly assume that. But judges have been habituated. And in some counties in, yes, red Texas, there have been elections for judges where all the people who won the election were progressives. And so Texas needs to get its house in order and stop electing woke people to the bench who then make decisions like the ones that you're commenting on here. And that's not

really something that the DOJ can control at that level. But at the end of the day, if justice is not had in any particular case and we believe that a hate crime occurred and it was not properly prosecuted, there could be a hate crime claim being brought but I'm going to reserve judgment on that until we see what happens at the end of the day here. Okay good, I mean listen all we're calling for is just blind justice, right? You murder somebody in cold blood, you need to get the book, you know, you need to spend the rest of your life, you know, you took someone else's son, you took someone else's life. You need to not be given any favors, right? And that's, I think that that's all anyone's ever asking

for one quick thing. You talked about elections and we did have a case here that the DOJ right here on justice.gov about looking into the Wisconsin elections, justice department analysis action against Wisconsin elections today and making sure we have a free and fair elections. This is from your division. I want to give you an opportunity to comment. We've talked quite a bit

about the mess of the Wisconsin election process here. Can you explain what's happening here, Carmita? Yes. So this is going to be the first of probably many enforcement actions like this. United States Department of Justice, people have to understand we're not these sort of election integrity monitors of America. The majority of the election laws in the United States are actually administered and enforced and the rules are set at the state level. That's in the Constitution. However, we do administer several federal statutes that govern voting in federal elections

for the most part and occasionally a little bit beyond that. So there's the Voting Rights Act, the Help America Vote Act, the National Voter Registration Act, and UOCAVA, which governs overseas voters, and there's a couple of other things like that. So in this case, the Help America Vote Act requires states to have complaint procedures when it comes to their voter rolls.

And Wisconsin has tried to be cute and respond to voters making complaints about bloated voter rolls by simply saying, oh, you know, LOL, we can't investigate ourselves. So sorry, there's no complaint procedure here. That's illegal. And that's the basis of this complaint. Now, other states have different problems with their voter rolls. And so we are sort of one by one taking on these things.

I mean, I've got a great head of the election law practice here. And so we are ramping up. You're going to see a number of different enforcement actions, and maybe even litigation out of the DOJ, to help enforce our federal election laws. Ultimately, I'd love to see Congress take some stronger measures on some of these things. Until they do, we actually have some good laws on the books and we're going

to enforce those to the fullest extent possible by the United States Department of Justice. Yes, like only American citizens can vote in the election. Like that seems like a no brainer. It seems like it actually deprives me, an American citizen, of my right to vote when there's an illegal that votes and then cancels out my vote. That seems like the most basic civil rights violation in America, actually. I went to court just last week to argue for the one person one vote standard. Believe it or not, you still have to argue that here in the United States in 2025 when a woke legislature in Maine stripped Laura Libby and all of the voters in Maine District 90 of having a voice in the

legislature for a two-year period. This is insane and this is the kind of things that, you know, some people in our country feel very comfortable stripping certain people based on their viewpoints. In that case, Laura Libby's crime, if you will, was saying that boys should not take girls' trophies in girls' sports, something that the United States Department of Justice is also suing over through the Civil Rights Division. So we are really taking on all of these issues, Benny. It's a joy. It's like it's a challenge.

Every few minutes some new civil rights violation comes in my door and I have to, you know, scramble the jets and allocate resources. But we're loving it. And it is a tremendous privilege every day to get up in the morning and fight for the United States voters and citizens and girls in sports and just taxpayers to be safe and be free from the harassment and chaos that some elements in our country would like to see us get used to.

We're not gonna get used to living like that. It's our great honor to be here and support you and to support your work. And we're deeply thankful for it. It seems like there's a spiritual exorcism going on actually in the country. And things are going back to the way they should be. And that's all we've ever wanted, right?

Fair, blind, justice, law and order. Everybody follow HarmMeet, millions, 1.2 million to be exact. Patriotic Americans already do. Make sure you're giving power to the people who are fighting for you and a safer, better America. Godspeed, Harm Meet. Thank you so much, Benny. Let's get started.

Let's get started. Ladies and gentlemen, always our great honor to have such a capacity to like go, I mean, it seems like a bizarre world where we can go multiple times on this program. We've gone into the Department of Justice. We've been there as a speaker. We've never been there once. We've been there as a speaker. We've never been there once. We've been there as a speaker. We've been there as an attendee at events

like President Trump's speech at the DOJ. We were there speaking on stage with Steve Bannon about weaponization. And never once were we in handcuffs. Not once did we have to go into the Department of Justice while I was cuffed, which is a miracle. I mean, I thought it was a miracle. I went, wow, we're going to the Department of Justice while I was cuffed, which is a miracle. I mean, I thought it was a miracle. I went, wow, we're going to the Department of Justice

like on our own accord? Incredible. And then also we have these wonderful, wonderful guests who join our program to describe the fight against darkness in Washington, DC. It's very, very special. Ladies and gentlemen, getting our house in order in this nation

Hermit Dylan is just one of those people right who's locked in and who's cleaning house and Setting the tables right again.

All right, we didn't get to all of the things that we wanted to talk about with these riots. We wanted to talk about,

and it's perfect on the heels of our meat, Senator Hawley, Josh Hawley is saying, no, no, no, what we need is full scale investigations into where all the money is coming from. Because if you're funding an insurrection that's harming American troops, soldiers, cops, burning great American cities to the ground, what once great American cities,

you can go look at like footage from LA in the 1950s 1960s it's like paradise on earth How quickly everything gets destroyed under Marxism? Let's go find out who's doing it must prosecute them You know if you get if you cut the money off Then you fix the problem by and large here we go senator Tulsi Gabbard just said that these riots in LA and all over the country are orchestrated. Can you tell us anything about that?

Yeah, I think that's absolutely right, Jesse. These aren't spontaneous at all. They're about as authentic as AstroTurf. They are bought and paid for flash mobs. And I want to know who's doing the buying and the paying. That's why today I've launched an investigation. I've sent multiple investigative demands today to various groups out on social media claiming they are paying for this. They are organizing it.

They are financing it. We've all seen the videos of vans driving up, handing out gas masks right before somebody blows up a car. It's time we found out where's the money coming from? Who's really behind this? I think the American people deserve answers when Well, you know, there's a dude who's been arrested. Here's a photo of him right here breaking exclusive The driver who went viral dropping off a bionic shield face masks, which are very expensive by the way

They're like 80 to 100 bucks a pop. This dude drove an entire truck full of them. So what, like, let's just round it up, right? With, with sales tax. So you got a hundred bucks per mask, drop off 10, that's a thousand. You you're spending then, you know, if you're dropping off hundreds, then you're spending tens of thousands of dollars, potentially hundreds of thousands. Cause who knows if he was the only truck. I mean, if they're dropping off in one location, how many other locations are there? Who's dropping off the bricks?

Who's dropping off those giant pallets of bricks and cinder blocks that like sit there in the middle of the road for them to throw out the cop cars. So you're doing tens of thousands. So this individual is spending maybe hundreds of thousands of dollars on bionic mass to just give to people. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no. That's not how it works. I mean, unless this guy's a multimillionaire, that's not pocket change for anyone. He had hundreds of them, tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of dollars in face masks given to a bunch of Gorlock libs,

Goleming and gooning throughout the streets of LA. Here's a good example of what a bionic face shield looks like. This was caught on camera. Again, very expensive item there, not a hundred bucks each. You can see on camera here, a dude that you can see him pulling up in the truck and then dropping off all of his masks. He's got a black truck and he's just handing out.

He's got a black truck and he's handing them out. So all the protesters running over, grabbing box after box after box here There we go. Who's paying for that exactly? he really dipped into his pocket of the goodness of his heart and Went and paid for Hundreds if not thousands of these masks. This is just what we have on footage No, dude. There's nothing natural about this at all

At all Dude, there's nothing natural about this at all. At all. Alex, I wanna do the assault that lib with Nicole Wallace. My question to you is, do we have the hilarious video from yesterday? Can we play it from yesterday of ice hunting down the criminal aliens? Because it's awesome that went viral on our pages and the amazing Ashley put it up.

Yeah, the TikTok. Do we have that? And if we have that, I wanna play it because I wanna do massive shout out to our boys because we got these boys, okay, who are up in the White House digital and social teams and they're making some incredible content, just incredible content. Just incredible content.

Let's just pop it up. Send in the asset, please. I want to play it because this is Nicole Wallace. We are going to play Nicole Wallace melting down over this. It's an amazing video. It's about hunting down criminal aliens, catching them and deporting them. Oh, it's just a beautiful thing. Here we go.

nightclub and then deported everybody amazing ladies and gentlemen we're witnessing amazing times this is the Homeland security meme that went viral yesterday. Help your country and yourself report all foreign invaders. Call ice going back, going back, rewind it back into the good old days. Look at that. Nicole Wallace is our salt That Lib of the day. She is very salty. Please get out your salt shakers.

If you're new here, then what we do is we flood the comments with salt. The reason we do that is because we salt our libs on this program. We're so nice. When the libs are crying, screaming, shrieking, they need salt, extra salt, extra sodium, because they're crying all their tears.

And so that's how polite we are. That's how nice we actually are on the show. So ladies and gentlemen, please help us salt Nicole Wallace, the lib crying about all the memes. I have very mixed feelings about showing this to both of you. It is news, but it is news from the Trump administration. It's a post from the Department of Homeland Security that they put on X advertising a tip line with a poster that reads quote help your country and yourself report all foreign invaders this is your taxpayer dollars or the simply you voted for a few pay

taxes your taxes are paying for this ad being disseminated on the line last platform acts that says quote help your country and yourself report all foreign invaders uh... jim jim did uh... by my favorite that he might very well have uh... i'll tell you one for inviting and they're we could

deal with the deal on mask but they haven't said that i mean it's just absurd that we would uh... did you did you get out of america's in our strength inner democracy is is our in our democracy is our ability to take so many different cultures and so many different religions and make make something great and that's what we've done throughout our entire diversity has been our strength and when you look at that it taps into the isolationist impulses of a lot of people, the inner racism and hatreds that a lot of

people have, unfortunately. And so many of those people have not had the courage to speak up and to stand up for democracy and the American way of life. And unfortunately, the Republican Congress might be the greatest offender in this regard. No one in the Senate or the Congress is standing up against our dear leader when he tries to use tap into these isolationist impulses and use our military to further his political means. to further his political means.

Is diversity our strength exactly? I have a great mind on the program, ladies and gentlemen, right now. The great Mike Cernovich is here. And maybe we should start off with that. Is diversity our strength? Has diversity ever been a strength? Well, well, well, let's bring on Mike and chat about it. Mike Cernovich joins us live.

Mike, if you were running like, I don't know, business or sports team or commanding an army or running a nation, has diversity ever been your your like the strength of any of those businesses or Well, we know we know how the left we know how the left uses it which is Jamming a bunch of people from with different value systems different cultures together, and then they call that Diversity that that's the left's Definition of it, which is why it's been a social experiment that has not been working out well for anyone. I don't know if you can see the flames or the fires

from the beautiful part of California that you live in, but not too far down the road in LA, the city has been torched. I would say torched the ground, but there wasn't much left there in the first place. We were just in LA and went through skid row and downtown LA. I mean, the entire place, even pre these riots were like a boarded up sort of a post-apocalyptic disaster.

What do you make of these riots? Was this inevitable eventually in California? Well, we kind of actually what got me involved in media to a degree that a lot of people don't even know this might have been even even before you but I went I went to a Trump rally in Santa Ana and the something very similar to this broke out outside of Santa Ana I had videos and everything. And this before I knew how to use Twitter, I just took videos and was interviewing people. I was on Periscope live streaming and you saw the same kind of elements. I mean, unfortunately what's happened

is that a lot of bad history has been taught to people and people are under the impression that like we, meaning people like you and me, which doesn't even make any sense, stole California from Mexico. There's so many things wrong, but they've been completely indoctrinated into it. Where when you look at the real history, Spain had California for a while, and then Mexico became Mexico and was released from Spain, Spanish colonialism, and then California was unsettled. There was a whole swath of land in the southwest that everybody in Mexico was afraid to go to because of the Comanches and the Apaches. So then there was a war and I can't say my people because my people came over in like 1911.

And the original settlers could won the Civil War, General Sherman went through and wiped everything out. Which is why I always think it's funny that the left hasn't, they skipped history after the Civil War because like yeah, we'll base General Sherman, we love General Sherman. It's like, well, turn the history book page to after the Civil War. And then you can, he obviously did great things

after the Civil War, but they don't know that. So what we have now are a war of cultures, which could be a hot war anytime where people think, well, you stole our land and therefore we're allowed to use force to take the land back. It is a completely, it's completely unequal here, but that's how they've been indoctrinated. So this, these riots and this other violence has been programmed for a while and it's unsurprising, unfortunately. Can you find for me the limiting principle there, Cerno? you're very good at like reducing things down to its basic atoms

and elements. So does that mean that so you so we're supposed to the argument is we give the land back to Mexico. Right. But then following that conclusion, then Mexico has to give the land back to European power, which is Spain, Spain. And then Spain has to give it back to the Native Americans. And then the Native Americans need to walk off their reservations or wherever they live, they need to walk back over the Bering Strait into Russia. And then all of the land needs to go back to mother nature. Is that the living principle?

Or the Apache, right. Yeah, it's fundamental. That's why there's been a lot of debate over the years about what it means to your leftist, what woke means. And I had always said, they just hate white people. And I have always felt, maybe because I'm cocky, but I've always not liked that rhetoric to just say, no,

they just hate white people. But I've always said it because it's true. But it always felt so racially charged in 2015. That's why I think it's funny people like, Oh, wow, look at, look at what the sobe saying in 2025. It's like, dude, 2015. That was everybody in og magos like, no, they just hate white people. It's not any more complicated than that. None of you little edgy 15 year olds came up with this stuff. This was being talked about a long time ago. And you see that, for example, in California. California used to be 80% white, right? So if California was stolen from Mexico, then it didn't go from 80% Mexican, and then it was repopulated by 80% white people, which is mostly an empty land. There are some missions in Orange County and other parts of California, San Diego. I mean, that's what's so funny about all this is if you trace the history of California, it was a Catholic colony from Spain. And then the Spanish came in and converted people. And it's actually interesting. We were in Peru for we're in Peru.

Should we give it back to the Vatican? No, hold on. So really are they arguing to give it back to the Vatican? So the Vatican should control California? I might actually be down with that. I'm not sure. I don't know. Right. And that's why when you do any kind of Socratic interrogation, you realize there's no philosophical principles at work.

It's just, no, they just, they just hate white people. They just, they want white people to leave. But then when white people do leave, then they call that white flight. And then they say all the want white people to leave but then when white people do leave then they call that white flight and then they say all the racist white people are leaving but wait you know wait a minute So yeah, if you looked at it philosophically and this is kind of where I frustrate people I think on both sides of Israel and Gaza is because

I'm like look Israel like took the land and they have it and I'm okay with it and my pro-Israel friends get really mad at that because they're like, no, no, no, it was promised to them by God and all they're doing is, it's like, guys, I'm the wrong person to talk to this about, right? And then I have people on the Gaza side saying, well, you're so cruel, people just can't take land. I don't know, how do you think we all,

how do you think we all ended up there, right? So I have a pretty coherent, even if people don't like it, I have a pretty coherent view on Israel-Gaza, on the Spanish-American war, on the Mexican-American war, and people take your land. And even right now, the land in Britain, in the West and even in America, our land is being taken. Our country is being taken from us.

And it's a unilateral situation where violent, people can get violent in LA, but if Kyle Rittenhouse is somebody showed up, you think LAPD would follow a standout order? So it's a unilateral disarmament. It's actually a very disgusting and evil form of ethnic cleansing happening to Americans right now in their own countries and in our own countries because under my worldview, under my worldview, I

would just say, okay, let's just have it out. Let's just have it out. You guys want to get wild in the streets? That's fine. Let's just all get wild in the streets and let's just see what happens, right? But that could never happen because then that would also show who, who deserves the land and who could actually take the land and keep the land. So it's like, you know, we've often, we've often like talked about this in the program that South Africa is the model. I mean, the model would be, you know, that that's how you culturally eradicate, you know, a people who settled a place and built a place. And that that is actually happening here in in real time. It's amazing.

Yesterday, you know, we talked a lot about Minneapolis, Minnesota and how it's just not Minneapolis anymore because you brought Somalia to Minneapolis, you turn it into Somalia. Like the place isn't the culture. It's not the rocks and the sticks. It's the people. And you bring all the people and you bring the language and you bring the culture and you bring the histories and the traditions, they travel with the people. And so what you've done is you've turned Minneapolis into Somalia. And we saw yesterday, of course, the high school shooting, two Somali young boys that were like, shoot, you know, were planning on shooting up their entire graduation. They got charged yesterday.

And it's like, you import the third world, you'll become the third world. Like this isn't hard math. Well, and where we lost the plot as a country is because and that's why I've never written a big high horse on. That's what's unfortunate about how the left has has radicalized

people a lot of ways. I never wrote a high horse on immigration because I always thought, well, I had one set of grandparents come over from England and Ireland in 1911. Another set came over from Serbia. Who am I to write some big high horse about immigration, right? That's why I was sort of moderate on immigration,

because if you're a colonial American, then I understand. Your ancestors literally built a place. That I get. So people like me, I always felt like should be a little bit more moderate on it. But the difference is that when my ancestors came over, you had to get with the program. You had to learn English. There was no welfare system. Most people that I didn't know any of that, I had to relearn history in my 40s. As well educated as I was, you realize you didn't learn

any real history. And you can look this up, but I'm on the dark corners of Twitter. No, no. So a third of Ellis Islanders went back to Europe because if you came here, you didn't have welfare. You had to actually board a ship. You had to go into the unknown. It was a real unknown. Now you have an app.

You have a website. You have a website. You have a website. You have a website. You have a website. You have a website. You have a website. You have a website. You have a website. You have a if you came here, you didn't have welfare. You had to actually board a ship.

You had to go into the unknown. It was a real unknown. Now you have an app plugged in. You're getting flown in by these NGOs. You're given money the minute you arrive. You have an anchor baby. And then that anchor baby is entitled the welfare, which flows to the parents.

So it's a completely different culture. It's a completely different type of person. You're not getting people. The mythos, because I remember Joe Rogan said this one time, and I was like, man, you really don't understand anything. He said, oh, leaving your home to come to America is some huge thing. It's like, no, they're taking apps from Mexico,

and they're coming up an hour. Me going to Tijuana is not an adventure, right? Unless the cartel catches me. You just you cross a border and from San Diego, right? It is not some unknown frontier and you have your phone to give you maps but in the Ellis Islanders and then of course the original settlers you got on a boat and you came over and you had to figure things out or you were going to starve or you were going to starve or you were going to die and this is no longer the case at all and because of that you had assimilation and what we're seeing now when you just import people and you let them live like from where they came from you do you end up with Minneapolis is not Minneapolis Minneapolis is

Somalia and Somalis don't want to live in Somalia. So why should I have to live in Somalia? Why should the Germans who founded Minnesota have to live in Somalia when even the Somalis don't want to live there? But the answer is, F you. You're white, you're not allowed to have an opinion. We hate you. Deal with it. Mike, I hate to leave it there, but the president is live and speaking and we're going to cut over to this. God bless you. Mike, I hate to leave it there, but the president is live and speaking and we're going to cut over to this. God bless you, Mike. Please stay safe.

Glad you're glad you're in a safe part of California. See you buddy. See ya. To do with the California order of regulation, C.R.A. It's been a disaster for this country. And President Trump live now. I want to thank everybody for being here. We officially rescue the U.S. auto industry from destruction by terminating California electric vehicle mandate once and for all. Thank you. They said it couldn't be done, but boy, it's had us tied up in knots for years.

And they'd pass these crazy rules in California, and 17 states would go by and the automakers didn't know what to do because they're really building cars for two countries. When you have 17 states, you're building cars for two countries. And I want to congratulate you all. The Senate, the House, the whole thing, it's incredible. I was going to sign an executive order and give it a shot. But the one good thing with this, number one, it holds up forever, and number two, unless somebody votes it out, they'll never do that. And it's just so much better, huh? So much

better. That's so great. Very proud of you. We're joined today by the great speaker of the house. I think he's going to go down as a great speaker of the house, too. I may be wrong. I may be wrong. Who knows? Who the hell knows? I think he is. And he's doing something, the only thing I would say is more important than this one,

and I'll tell you what, it's almost close. That's how big this is today but the great big beautiful I added the word great you know I use the word the great big beautiful bill it's going to be one of the more I said it this morning to a group I think it's the most important one of the most important pieces of legislation ever ever signed ever approved so it's going to be something very special. Thank you very much. Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, thank you.

Secretary Sean Duffy. And they had a problem in India today, and you're on that. Sean's doing a tremendous job. Secretary Chris Wright, everybody said you'd never be able to get him. He's the most talented man, they say, in the oil and gas industry. I'll let you know in about two years, if that's true. Well, Doug Burgum, you know, I wanted Doug Burgum to head up energy because he was so successful in North Dakota.

He's governor. And he said, sir, North Dakota's governor. And he said, sir, there's one person who's much better than me. I said, who? They said, Chris Wright. I said, who the hell is Chris Wright? I had no idea. Now everyone knows Chris Wright.

He's going to be more famous than me. But he said, there's a guy named Chris Wright, and if we could get him, he'd be better than I am, sir. And if you know Doug, Doug's not here, is he? If you knew Doug, he's always working someplace. But if you knew Doug, you'd know that he doesn't say that often. And he did. And Chris, you're doing great. But I don't like the oil prices have gone up just a little bit over the last few days.

I was going to call and just really start screaming at you. Are we okay? Nothing wrong, right? It's gonna keep going down a little bit, right? Because we have inflation under control perfectly. You probably saw the records. Everyone's on television saying, what's going on here? Trump has proven to be right. You know, all of these things. We've taken it 88 billion in tariffs in two months, $88 billion with no inflation. And if we're smart, there won't be. Now I would like to get this guy to lower interest rates, because if he doesn't, we

have to pay. We have a lot of short-term debt. Obama gave it to us originally, and Biden carried it on. They like short-term. I like long-term cheap debt. But a lot of the debt comes through, because Biden, that's what – oh, he didn't do it. I'm sure he didn't know anything about it. But somebody approved short-term debt. It's all over the place. And it comes through starting very soon.

And if we would lower the interest rates by one point, we'd pay about one point less. That's $300 billion a year, can you believe it? One point. If we'd lower it by two points, we'd pay $600 billion a year less. That's for years, 10 years, 12 years, whatever we make it. But we can't get this guy to do it. And the fake news is saying, oh, if you fired him it would be so bad. It would be so bad. I don't know why it would be so bad, but I'm not going to fire him. I just want him to, you know, we call him

too late, right? Too late is his nickname, like Too Tall Jones, he was Too Tall, T-O-O. And I just say this because we want to get rid of inflation and we have. But we're going to be paying more for debt. And all he has to do is lower it. Europe's done 10 lowerings. We've done none. And nobody understands it. Actually today when the numbers came out, they were so good.

You saw yesterday's numbers, incredible. No inflation. Today's numbers... Today just came out, same thing, no inflation. They were all shocked. All these guys are watching from business, CNBC, and all of these different networks. Maria Bartiroma actually got it right. She's been getting it right for a long time, that one. I hope she's appreciated. And Joe Kiernan's been very good at CNBC, I must tell you,

but other people aren't so good. But I will say that they can't believe what's happening. But if I could, because we can discuss, oh, we've got a lot of press, we've got a lot of cameras rolling right now. Not that I like doing it, because I don't. But if we take, if we cut our interest by one point, for years, we save 300 billion. If we cut it by two points, we save, because it's pretty equivalent. We're going to save, we're going to spend $600 billion a year, $600 billion because of one numbskull that sits here. I don't

see enough reason to cut the rates now. And the problem he's got is that, and I explained to him, look, if inflation went up, cut your rates now, there's no inflation. We got it down. We got prices down. We got gasoline down. And you'll keep it going down. But gasoline's down.

We're drill, you know, it's drill baby drill. That's why it's going down. But we're all that. But think of it. I said to him, he was in my office a couple of days ago, I said, if you think there's inflation, let's find out. Because I think we're going to keep it down. I think gasoline is going to be so far down. Oil energy is so much energy.

We have so much energy we don't know what to do with it. But let's say there was inflation in a year from now. Raise your rates. I don't mind. Raise your rates. I'm all for it. I'll be the one calling you. He'll be too late for that too.

But raise your rates. You don't have to keep them up here. If it's going to go up, I'm okay with you raising, but it's down. And we're going out to financing. And I may have to force something. Somebody said, who's the genius that thought of that? I said, it's me. Unlike Biden, I stay awake at night thinking about how to save our country.

He was much better at sleeping than me. He could sleep on a beach. He could sleep on a beach with cameras rolling. I can't do that. But I had an idea. I gave it. They said, this is really, we'll go short term for a year. Let this guy get out of office.

Somebody will come and cut it a couple of points, and we'll save ourselves seven, eight, maybe even $900 billion a year. What is he doing? Why doesn't he lower these rates? And with that, we'll get onto the California standard, which is a disaster. Okay? So, Chris Wright, you're going to get the numbers down. Thank you very much. Lee Zeldin, one of the most important men in this room. He's the man I get nervous when I talk to.. They're doing a great job.

Nuclear, I say, okay, you can take two weeks for that approval. It used to take 20 years, then they wouldn't approve it. Now I say, Lee, nuclear, I'll give you two weeks for approval. A coal-fired plant, you only get a couple of days. And oil and gas will give you a week, okay? Something like that. But he's doing it so fast, and we have so many plants being built right now, it's so beautiful to see.

And one of the reasons they're coming here is because we have to produce tremendous, especially the AI, they have to produce beyond believable amounts of electricity. I said to them, I think this was more or less my idea. They didn't have the idea only because they didn't think a thing like this was possible. I said, as you build your plant, you're going to become a utility, and you're going to build a separate plant right alongside of it. You're going to build it. You're going to build a plant that produces electricity. And you'll produce it through natural gas, coal, nuclear.

We don't want to produce it through wind, because we don't feel like ruining 50 miles of beautiful plains and beautiful vistas. But we want to produce it. Interestingly, China is opening up a coal plant every single week, but now I'm finding out it might be two plants every single week. And usually that's a good gauge. If they're using coal, I guess we're supposed to use coal. And we went to a coal standard.

Not that you have to use coal. You're going to use whatever's best. I want to introduce also Senate Majority Whip John Barrasso, who's a tremendous guy doctor. And he is a tremendous guy, tremendously talented doctor. When I have a medical situation for the country, for myself, I haven't used them, but I might have to. Maybe I'll do that. If it's serious enough, I think I'd probably do that. But he's a tremendously talented gentleman who happens to be a senator and one that's

very respected. Chairwoman Shelley Moore Capito, and congratulations. I just endorsed your son. Did you know that? I endorsed your son. I endorsed your son who's running in West Virginia, and he's great. In fact, he's all Trump all the time, I think much more so than you actually, you were his largest impediment, not Mueller Kip.

He's all Trump all the time, and he's going to win big, and so congratulate him. Okay, he's really been fantastic. So many people have told me. Thank you. And House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, who's a brave man, went through hell. Steve went through hell. And we have a lot of other people here that I won't be able to because they don't have your name down and I'm looking and I see people's names. I'll do a couple of you, but thanks as well to Mark Wayne Mullen, Senator. Mark Wayne, thank you. Stand up, Mark Wayne. Don't fight him.

He's a serious fighter in a lot of ways and he's a great guy too. Thank you, Mark Wayne. Deb Fisher, Deb. Thank you, Mark Wain. Deb Fischer. Deb? Thank you, Deb. Thank you. Pete Ricketts, who's going to do very well in the upcoming election. Thank you. Thank you, Pete.

John Euston, who's really moving along in Ohio. John, good luck. You're going to do well. All endorsed people. John Curtis, who's doing terrifically. John, good luck. You're going to do well. All endorse people. John Curtis, who's doing terrifically. John, thank you. Good job. They all say excellent. What can I say?

Good job. And Bernie Marina, who won a race that was not winnable. They all said it's not winnable. He won in Ohio. They said you can't win that race. It's a waste of time. You're just wasting your time. Right, Bernie It wasn't a waste of time, was it? And he won by like five points too. He won by a lot. Along with representatives, Kevin Kiley, Vince

Fong, Jay Obernolte, Doug LaMaffa, Darrell Issa. Where's Darrell? I haven't seen you in such a long time. Look at you. How good you look, huh? Good when you have those big margins. It's easy. John Joyce, great guy. John, thank you. Thank you, John.

Dusty Johnson, Morgan Griffith, Troy Balderson, Troy from a place called Ohio, and he played very cute at one time, but then he got boy out there, he's become a good politician. Where is Troy now? Where I haven't seen him used for years. I endorsed you early when he was early and younger, but you still look young and you've done fantastically good work, really good work. Claudia Tenney, New York.

Claudia. Thank you, Claudia. John James. John James. I don't know. You know, he's running for governor, but I'm not sure I'm happy about that, John. Do we have somebody good to take your seat? Now, you know he's running for governor, but I'm not sure I'm happy about that, John. Do we have somebody good to take your seat?

Because otherwise we're not letting him run for governor. You have somebody good, right? Okay, as long as you like them, they'll win. Tracy Mann. Tracy, thank you very much. Thank you very much. Appreciate it. Michael Baumgartner.

Michael. Thank you, Michael. Appreciate it. Michael Baumgartner. Michael. Thank you, Michael. Good. Good job. David Rouser. Rouser. Thank you. Glenn Rothman.

Hi, Glenn. Thank you very much, Glenn. Brett Guthrie. Brett. Thank you, Brett. Rudy Yakam. Thank you. Thank you, Rudy.

And I want to thank you all and there's some additional people in the room but we have to get back to this is like so big. This is a big one. Under the previous administration, the previous administration, I could go point after point everything they did, open borders, men playing in women's sports, transgender for everybody, everybody, let's go transgender. What a group of people you had over there. They must have hated our country. Under the previous administration, the federal government gave left-wing radicals in California dictatorial powers to control the future of the entire

car industry all over the country, all over the world, actually. Because they have to build a car. They can't build 19 different cars, call the same thing. And really, it was all over the world what was happening. They approved Governor Gavin Newsom's ridiculous plan to impose a 100% ban on all new gas-powered cars within a very short period of time. Think of this.

You couldn't buy any other car except an electric-powered car. And in California, they have blackouts and brownouts. They don't have enough electricity right now to do the job. Brown House. They don't have enough electricity right now to do the job. And countrywide, you'd have to spend $4 trillion to build the firing plants, to be able to – they go to a lot of things – charging plants, firing plants. $4 trillion you'd have to spend. In the Midwest, they built nine of them, nine individuals like a pump, just like a pump, except instead of gas, electricity comes out. They spent, actually they built eight of them, nine billion dollars they spent for eight,

eight little hoses, nine billion dollars. Now I'm sure they could have done it for about, you know, one thousandth of that, but even if they did, it's unaffordable. They approved Governor Gavin's ridiculous, so ridiculous. By the way, if I didn't bring the military in, Los Angeles would be burning down right now, be burning just like his damn houses burned down because he didn't have the water that he should have had. So much water. They have so much water. We had to send in the military to free up the water, and we did that right after the

fires. We told them to do it in the first term. But just like that ridiculous plan, this is a plan to ban, think of it a plan to ban 100, and they call it the 100% ban on all new gas-powered cars and abolish 75% of the gas-powered trucks. 75%. The trucking industry saw me, they said, sir, it doesn't work. Number one, the trucks are so heavy, they're two and a half times heavier than a diesel power truck.

So one of the big truckers, 28,000 trucks, big company, tremendous company. He said, I go out of business immediately. I'm not going to play games. I mean, he said, did you explain these things to government officials? Like the truck weighs two and a half times more, two and a half times more than a regular truck, a gasoline powered diesel.

And he said, based on that we have to rebuild every bridge in the United States of America because it wasn't designed to hold cars and trucks that heavy because the batteries are very heavy. They're probably lead. They have a lot of things in those batteries that weigh a lot. But it's two and a half times. It's a simple number, two and a half times. And if you want to do this, you have to spend trillions and trillions of dollars on rebuilding every bridge in the United States and I guess throughout the world, if they, because they do follow us. And the big rig buses and even cement trucks, they want to abolish certain categories of

truck, but they want to go 75 percent of all of these trucks have to be abolished almost immediately. I mean the time is just crazy. And they don't go far. Another little problem. With a tank of diesel you can go from New York to Los Angeles if you want to go to Los Angeles right now. But New York to Los Angeles and you can go back a little bit with the electric truck you'll stop approximately six times. Enjoy your stop. And the trucker saw me and I said, did you just explain this?

Because this is like, if you explain it, every person is reasonable for this. He said, we explained it, they didn't care. They said we're going all electric. They can't be stupid because anybody that can cheat on elections like them is not a stupid person. But they must hate our country. But I said to this big truck, they said, sir I've been buying trucks my whole damn life. He's a rough guy, smart guy. He said, sir, I've been buying trucks my whole damn life. He's a rough guy, smart guy. He said, I got thousands of them. I've been buying them for 50 years.

And every single year, they got better. They got more efficient. They got bigger. They got stronger. I build apartments in my trucks now for the drivers. I said, what's an apartment? On the cab, they put this thing. I said, what's an apartment? On the cab they put this thing.

And sir, I know you like luxury, but you wouldn't mind living in one of these. I said, maybe I would, maybe I wouldn't. I mean, it doesn't sound too appealing, but I said, so what's the problem? He said, so I noticed one thing. For 50 years, every single year one thing happened, they got better. They got stronger, they got more efficient, they got faster, they could carry any load. If we went to this standard, we'd go back beyond 50 years. They wouldn't go as far as a truck from 50 years ago. It would be too heavy and

have all the other problems. He said, we'd be going backwards. We'd be taking a truck in and then it would be starting all over. But actually it would be worse because it was better 50 years ago. So I said, what are you going to do if I don't win this election? This was before the election. He said, you don't win the election, I'm going to close up my business because I'm not going to lose my... He said, I'm not going to lose my ass. I know exactly what's going to happen. It's going to be a catastrophe. It's the craziest thing I've ever heard. They're making you buy stuff that doesn't work. It's no good. It doesn't work. And I'm all for electric. If you want to buy electric, you can buy electric. Cars are great.

If you buy the right ones, cars are great. And you should be given the option, buy the electric car, buy a gasoline-powered car, buy a hybrid. Probably not hydrogen, because hydrogen has a tendency that when it blows up your gun, so it's over they find you 75 yards down the road you know where is he well I think that's him but I'm not sure so you know they said we think we can solve the problem I said that's not good enough when they think no it sounds like it's

quite severe if it doesn't work Steve it'll work most of the time but if it doesn't it's over it'll make your accident look like peanuts compared. You wouldn't be around, I'll tell you, because it's pretty rare. But some people like it. I don't know. Let's see what happens. I would say it's off to a bad start. But because of the size of California's population and the fact that 17 other states follow California. That's the problem. Seventeen other states follow California. They have the most ridiculous laws I've ever seen for a lot of things. This is just cars and trucks and all.

They have a lot of them for other things. But we have, it's called the California car standards, and this horrible scheme would effectively abolish the internal combustion engine, which most people prefer. Like so far, I'd say about 90 percent. In fact, General Motors announced yesterday they're going to spend about $6 billion on because of tariffs, and maybe because of my election on November 5th, but because of tariffs I think more than anything, they're all coming back. They're coming back from other countries that took them 25, 30 years ago.

They're all coming back. We have now almost $15 trillion. They had almost nothing last year, and the year before they had very little. Nobody wanted to be back here. Nobody wanted to come to our country anymore Because we were like stupid people. We look like stupid people. We were laughed at all over the world now We're not laughed at anymore. I can tell you that but they wanted to shatter our domestic supply chains and

Literally grind civilization to a halt. We would have gone so far back It's hard to believe actually hard to believe when you don't have grind civilization to a halt. We would have gone so far back. It's hard to believe, actually. Hard to believe when you don't have enough electricity to give a person a little air conditioning in the summer and now they want you to take electricity and fire up all these cars. But we're not going to let that happen. Meanwhile, all of the auto jobs would be shipped to China because they're very strong on electric, and it lives off an estimated 200,000 American auto workers would be destroyed.

It's one of the reasons I did so well with the United Auto Workers. And now I'm really doing well with them. I did phenomenally with them. No Republican ever got any numbers like I got in the Teamsters, too. Sean O'Brien, the head in the Teamsters, too. Sean O'Brien, the head of the Teamsters, these guys, they like Trump because I produce jobs, they know that. Everybody knew that the autoworkers knew better than anybody how good the tariffs were. And the head of the autoworkers, I don't know him at all, but he didn't like me at all. Now

he's going around saying, this guy's unbelievable. He was very nice to me the last few months. During the campaign, no, but I've proven it. I've done what I said I was going to do. We've brought back tremendous numbers of jobs, and you're having auto plants built all over the country, all over. There's never seen anything like that. They're leaving from Mexico, they're leaving from Canada, they're leaving from other parts

of the world. If they want a Mercedes Benz, you're going to have it made here. It's okay to have a Mercedes, but they're going to make it here, otherwise they're going to pay a very big tariff. They already are. That's one of the reasons we have $88 million. It's a lot of money, but that's peanuts compared to what we're going to be making in another few months. They haven't even kicked in yet.

But we're not going to let any of these bad things happen, these stupid projections that I've been reading about for the last six months. I think these people are either corrupt or really dumb, and they're supposed to be economists. In the campaign I promised to end this disaster, and today our Republican majorities in Congress have delivered, and I don't know, I can't imagine. It's so obvious, it's so good. Did we get any Democrat votes? Did we get one?

Two? Who? 35? I think that's great. You know, I think that's great. You got 35 Democrats. I think that's great. That, as far as I'm concerned, won in the Senate. On something that's so good. But who is the one? Well, I shouldn't have asked. I congratulate her.

I don't care. I think it's great. It's very interesting. Why did I ask that question, Mrs. Smith? But in a few moments, I'll sign three pieces of legislation that will kill, totally kill. They can't do anything about it. They can't take us to court. They can't do any of the things they can do with the executive orders.

And it's permanent. I'll sign three pieces of legislation that will kill the California mandates forever, and they're never coming back. Now the auto companies are the most happy happy because now they're going to be designing and building one auto. It will be much cheaper. It's much less expensive. They were showing me, one of the most respected people, was showing me that to save a little, like a half a glass of fuel, cost them thousands of dollars with new computers and stop it, the engine has to stop and then turn on and blah, blah, blah. And I said, does it work as well?

No, it's terrible. It's terrible. And that's to save a little bit of fuel, this much fuel that Chris Wright can produce with one extra little oil well someplace, right? One little, a small one, a very small one. But think of it, your cars are going to cost you $3,000, $4,000 less, and you're

going to have what you want. And again, you can get any car you want. You can get electric. A lot of people love the electric. They like Tesla. So do I, in all fairness. I like Tesla, and I like others too, but I also like combustion engines and I you know there are reasons for a lot of things when I was in Iowa we had an unbelievable victory if you remember remember that was nice you won by like so much nobody even talked

about anything else but it was a great victory. But it was unbelievably cold that night, and I was going to watch my victory in the area where I was going to make a speech, and the whole place was littered with cars. I said, what happened? They were electric cars, and they don't work in cold. I said, I didn't know that. And they don't work in extreme heat either. Other than that, they're wonderful. But no, but if you're in a cold climate, you know, how do you do that?

But they're electric cars. And I noticed that. And then I didn't pay much attention because we won by about 65 points. So I was more interested in that. But I do remember that scene. I said, what the hell is going on over here? This historic action will also help us reduce inflation and bring down the price of automobiles and electricity very, very substantially.

You know, we're building massive electricity right now. It's already started because of that guy right there, Lee Zeldin, by far the most important man in the room, Mr. Speaker. Stand up, Lee. He blows you guys away, John. He blows the politicians away. I'm sorry right now. He actually, he's a great politician.

He almost won for governor in New York, which is just missed by a few points. And that was another race that was not winnable, but you almost got it. But I think what you're doing now is even bigger if you want to know the truth. I think it's actually more important if you can believe that. Under the previous regime, car prices skyrocketed as a direct result of the mandates. These mandates, this nonsense that you had to do, and they have so many other rules and regulations that the car companies who are here today. Appreciate that.

And Suzy Wells is here today. Stand up, Suzy. Most incredible woman. Most powerful woman in the world, they say. She's the most powerful. She was rated the most powerful woman in the world. Suzy Wells, one phone call and the nation is destroyed. She could destroy five nations with five calls, and she's doing a great job.

More importantly, right? Doing a great job. There's nobody like her. Energy prices would likewise soar as a radical left force more electric vehicles onto the grid while blocking approvals for new power plants, they want to block the approvals. They want you to have a car with electric, but they block the production of the juice that runs the cars, all of them, all forms of cars.

It's just the craziest thing. We're in a different sphere now. We're in a whole different planet right now. The result would be rolling blackouts and a collapse of our power systems. We'd have a total collapse. You couldn't do it. You couldn't even do it.

Think of it there, forcing you to do something. And they want you to do boats also. I assume boats are being covered by this. And boats, they want you to go all electric. And the batteries are so heavy, the damn boat practically doesn't float. I used to have a lot of fun talking about that one on the on the tours would talk about it. I said what would happen if the boat sank because

if we went to North Carolina, South Carolina we visited boat factories unbelievable guys and they said sir we have one problem they're forcing us to go electric for the boat. They're forcing us to go electric for the boat. They said, how's it going to work? The boat will not float, sir. It's so heavy and it won't go fast and lots of other. And I did ask him a question because I have a lot of background. My uncle was a big shot at MIT, the smartest guy. He never had a smarter guy and I guess I have a little of that. My first question was, shot at MIT, the smartest guy. He never had a smarter guy. And I guess I have a little of that.

My first question was, what would happen if the boat sank? Do you get electrocuted? Remember I said that? And I used to be decimated by these people back here. I used to be decimated. They'd say, what kind of a crazy question is that? I'm actually serious.

What happens if you're an electric boat and the boat is going down you're in trouble Susie and I used to say remember oh I'd get decimated the audience loved it but the press would laugh at it I said so if I have my choice of going down we're jumping five or six yards away from the boat but there's a shark there what do I do you know what I said? I'd rather be electrocuted. I said, I'll take electrocution every single day. But actually, he said, nobody's ever asked me that question,

sir. He makes boats. Nobody ever asked me that question. That's really an unusual question. He said, and honestly, I don't have the answer. He wasn't able to. I said, don't worry about it. If I win, you won't have to worry about it.

But today we're saving California and we're saving our entire country from a disaster. Your cars are going to be thousands of dollars less money. And even the ones that if you buy electric, we're not going to make you do certain things that are just a waste of money and just time consuming waste of money. They make you do things that that are just a waste of money and just a time-consuming waste of money. They make you do things that are no good for anybody, make the car worse, and make it much more expensive. Over the past five months, our administration and Republicans in Congress have fought for the American auto worker and for Teamsters and for, by the way, Right to Work.

We have them all. We have, you know, we just call them just workers. We fought for workers like no one has ever fought before. I understand that. It's why we won. We won with workers. We won with young people. I just saw with TikTok,

I was number one on TikTok in its history. Can you believe that? So I guess I like TikTok. That's why they're saying, are you saving? We probably will save TikTok, actually. But on my first day in office, I ended the Green New Scam and abolished the EV mandate at the federal level. We abolished it, which is basically that everybody will be driving an electric car within a very

short period of time. Now we know why Elon doesn't like me so much, which he does actually. He does. And he never had a problem. You know, it's very interesting. This is not something new. This has been there from day one, Speaker, right? We're going to abolish the EV mandate. And Elon still endorsed me, because honestly, he never, ever spoke to me about that. And I used to say I'm amazed that he's endorsing me because that can't be good for him. I'm abolishing the EV mandate.

And I once asked him about it. You never talked to me about that. He said, well, as long as it's happening to everybody, I'll be able to compete. It was a very interesting answer. I thought it was a very honest answer, to be honest with you. And I talked about it, that incredible. you know, you would have thought he would have been from day one, you got to make sure you don't do the EV mandate, the abolishing.

And never did. Very honest in that sense. And he did say to me, I actually asked him because it was like really strange how I'm with him. He's very, you know, a friend of mine and he makes electric cars, and we're saying, you're not going to be able to make electric cars, or you're not going to be forced to make all of those cars. You can make them, but it'll be by the market, judged by the market.

And that's what he said. He said, as long as I'm on the same plane as everybody else, we're going to do good. We make a better product. I said, that's very cool. That was my answer. After that he got a little bit strange, but I don't know why over much smaller things than that. As part of the one big, beautiful bill, we'll also further slash the funding for the Green New Scam, as you know, it's the greatest scam in history, saving American taxpayers

hundreds of billions of dollars. The windmills are killing our country, by the way. The fields are littered with them, junk, they're littered with them, and they get older and they get rusty and they get bad and they get... This is other countries also. It's the greatest scam in history. It's the most expensive energy you can buy. They're ugly. a friend of mine comes from Minnesota. He's been in New York. He hit it big. He's a very successful guy, actually.

And he wanted to go back, see his mother, who's not well. And he went back to Minnesota. He hasn't been back there in 20 years. And he said, it's unbelievable what happened. He said, I'm driving down a highway and up a certain road and the most beautiful fields. I remember them so well. And I was so looking forward to seeing them again. And I looked at them and they had windmills all over them, these horrible, horrible structures. Very smart guy, this guy. And he said, these ugly, horrible things.

And he said, it was so bad I actually drove back to see it because I couldn't believe it. Before I even got to my mother, I drove back. I said, how much do you like your mother? But no, it hurt him to see it. He said, I looked at this field that was one of the most beautiful places in my own mind and imagination that I've ever seen, and I said, it's littered with this garbage. It looked like a junkyard, he said. And some, you know, then you get different manufacturers and they don't look alike and

they're not painted alike, different colors. You have, even if they're white, one's a be-y white, one's a darker white, one's a lighter white, and then they start to rust after four or five years. And then they start to wear out, and nobody takes them because you're not allowed to bury the propellers, the props, right? You can't bury the props for some reason. I don't know why, but they say that you can't bury it. It's a certain type of fiber, and if it goes in the ground, we're all going to die. It's what bullshit this is, OK? They can't bury it.

So what they do is they leave them up. If you go to Palm Springs, California, take a look. You go into this beautiful community before you go. It's like you're riding through a junkyard. Windmills all over the place. Tall ones, short ones. Dead ones, they're all dead, some are hanging over by a thread.

They never take them down, they just leave them there and they start to rust. It's one of the greatest scams and it's also the most expensive energy. And the environmentalists say, oh, we love wind, it sounds so good, but it's a horrible thing environmentally, it's a horrible thing. I say that to you. It's wind, and we are going to have virtually no one mandate we have. We're going to natural gas, nuclear. Nuclear, we just had a big signing with nuclear, making it easier, safer, and better. It's really I would say probably more than any other form of energy that's come about It's been amazing what's been done is very safe very good and very inexpensive But we're not going to let windmills get built because we're not going to destroy our country any further than it's already been destroyed

you go and look at these beautiful plains and valleys and They're loaded up with this garbage that gets worse and worse, looking with time. It starts when the rust comes. Four point five years it starts to rust, and it's very expensive to paint them. So they don't paint them, and they're horrible. What's happened is horrible. So we're not going to approve windmills unless something happens that's an emergency.

I guess it could happen. But we're not doing any of them. I hope the Senate will soon pass a bill the House can quickly approve and get to my desk by the 4th of July. We'll have this done. And to further defend our autoworkers, I imposed a 25 percent tariff on all foreign automobiles investment in American auto manufacturing is surging because of it.

They have Mercedes all over. They pay 25 percent if they don't make the car in the United States. Because of that, and this could have been done long before Trump, this could have been done by any one of the presidents. I did it with China. The reason you don't have Chinese cars here is because I imposed it my last term. I actually asked the question, I said, �Do we have any Chinese cars here?� �No, why?� Because you imposed a 25 or 27 and a half percent tariff on Chinese cars, so they're

not coming here, but they are going to Europe all over the place. But I love China. We just made a deal and I respect President Xi a lot. And we made a deal that's good for both countries. The deal we made with China is good for both countries. It's going to be a lot of money made and it's going to ultimately open up China, which is the ultimate thing. And I'm going to be working with President Xi.

We had a long talk about it. And that's going to be good for China, it's going to be good for us, but we're going to be opening up China, that's bigger than what we signed. I think had we not signed it, that wouldn't be happening. It's going to happen fairly soon. But to further defend our auto workers, I impose this 25 percent tariff on all foreign automobiles and investments in American manufacturing and auto manufacturing. All manufacturing is surging, and I might go up with that tariff in the not-too-distant

future. The higher you go, the more likely it is they build a plant here. Ford has just announced that it's going to invest $500 million and some of the things involved in what we just did. General Motors is going to spend $4 billion. They just announced that yesterday. Stellantis announced that it's going to reopen its Belvedere assembly plant. That's good.

I know the plant very well. It had a lot of problems. They're going to spend $5 billion. And Hyundai announced that it will invest $21 billion in America. They wouldn't have invested 10 cents if we didn't have tariffs, including for manufacturing American steel, which is doing great. American steel is doing great now because of what we did. You wouldn't have if I didn't put tariffs on steel,

they were dumping steel, China and a lot of other countries were dumping steel in our country, garbage steel, dirty steel, bad steel, not structurally sound steel, real garbage, but it was still there, lots of it. And if I didn't put tariffs, I put 25% and 50% tariffs on steel, right? John James, we put tariffs on steel, and we were doing great with steel. Now we're really doing great.

Big investments being made in Pennsylvania, you've been reading about it. They're going to spend $17 billion on U.S. steel, and all the steel workers wanted it. And we have a golden stock, we have a golden share, which I control or the President controls. Now, I'm a little concerned whoever the President might be, but that gives you total control, which is 51 percent ownership by Americans. And we have a company, a great company, Nippon, they're coming in from Japan, they're going to spend $17 billion and somebody says, well, what about, what happens if it doesn't work out?

I said, they spent $17 billion. We can't put it on a trailer and drive it to Japan. This is a steel mill. You know, some businesses you can move, you move your office and that's where the business is. With this business, they're spending $17 billion. Think of that, $17 billion, they're going to have them all over the country. I want to introduce several of the great Americans representing the millions of people

whose livelihoods we're saving with today's action. I just can't tell you how incredible this action is because nobody thought, this was one that I wasn't so, I would have rather had it than almost anything, but I was told by everybody, except that guy right there, that you couldn't get it. Bill Kent runs a chain of family-owned convenience stores that opened in West Texas in 1957, known as Kent Quick. And Bill, if you could come up and say a few words about what the signing means to you, please.

Wow, you're probably wondering why I've called you all here today, right? What a great day. From my perspective, I'm in the convenience store and trolley marketing business, and what this does is it gives us freedom. It gives the consumers freedom to pick what kind of car they want, but more importantly for us, it gives us the ability to plan going forward because with mandates, we were forced to have to look at putting in infrastructure that frankly is extremely expensive and doesn't give you any return.

So this allows us, it's going to free me up and our companies up to invest in what people want in the cars they want. And it's a great day. So Mr. President, Congress, thank you Steve, everybody. Thank you so much. Thank you. And a friend of mine for a long time is John Hess. He's one of the top CEOs in the country, and he's now the CEO of Hess Corporation, one of the biggest oil

producers, and he's a fantastic person with great knowledge of the subject matter. Can you say a few words, John? I see you in the audience. Come on, thanks. Hi, I'm John Hess, CEO of Hess Corporation, a proud producer of oil and gas in North Dakota and the Gulf of America. So you all know. I was born in New Jersey, grew up in New York, and my father started our company by driving a secondhand oil truck.

So Mr. President, it's an honor to be before you today, and thank you for that. Mr. President, during your campaign, you made a commitment to the American people to repeal unworkable and costly mandates for cars and trucks, and let the consumer choose what type of vehicle they drive. Today, with the bipartisan support of Congress, you're making good on that promise. I'd like to recognize Speaker Johnson, Leader Thune, other members of Congress whose tireless efforts were critical to the outcome we're celebrating today. And a special thank you to Senator Capito for her leadership.

This announcement today is about consumer choice and affordability for American families. It's also about making our country auto industry more competitive, Mr. President, and you said that very eloquently. As you know, Mr. President, one size fits all policies like those adopted in California do not work. America in every state, every American should be able to choose what they want to drive, not the government. We as a country would be basically leaning into our competitive advantage with this repeal on oil and gas.

Oil and gas are a strategic industry for our country, underpinning energy dominance, economic prosperity and national security. We are truly energy independent. So Mr. President, on behalf of Hess Corporation, on behalf of the oil and gas industry, and every family across our country, thank you for your courageous leadership and your commitment to consumer choice and energy affordability. Thank you very much. Thank you, David.

Very respected guy. The California EV mandates would also have devastated our nation's incredible truck drivers and the trucking industry, and I gave you a little bit of a rundown on that. But a diesel-powered semi-truck can drive from Reno, Nevada, I'll give you some other locations, Nevada to Los Angeles, California, and back on a single tank of diesel oil, diesel fuel, but the same exact journey would require an electric truck driver to stop also six times at recharging stations, adding an estimated nine hours to the trip.

I don't know too much about the trucking industry, but this is not sounding good. Here to discuss a little bit about the trucking industry. Gina Jones and Gina, a real expert on trucks, I can tell you that, is going to come up and tell us about trucks. Thank you, Gina. Thank you, John. Thank you, Mr. President. Thank you very much. And thank you, members and Congress.

The trucking industry has America's back and we are grateful that a president and the administration that have our back too. Today trucks are 99% cleaner than a generation ago. We need great partners in government to continue that process. We cannot allow one state's regulations to disrupt our entire nation's supply chain. Allowing California to do so would have negatively impacted the hundreds and thousands of truck drivers who deliver critical goods across the country each and every day. In order to deliver for American families and businesses, we need realistic national standards. With the signing of this resolution, Mr. President, you have delivered the leadership that trucking industries need. Promises made, promises kept.

On behalf of the eight, on behalf of the eight and a half million Americans who work throughout the trucking industry, I thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Great job. So just to wrap it up, I would say under the Trump administration, we will restore the full strength, might and glory of the American auto and trucking industry. We'll protect our truck drivers, auto workers, small business people, and manufacturers all over our country, and actually all over the world, and that's okay too. We'll be doing a product that works, a product that's much more efficient, that's better,

much better, less expensive. And we'll put affordable energy and affordable car ownership back on the center of the American Dream as we make America great again. And that's what's happening. We're making America great. You know, when I went over to Saudi Arabia, Qatar, UAE, just a couple of weeks ago, the leaders of those countries, and they're very smart people, they said, you know, you've made in a short period of time

America the hottest nation in the world. The hottest nation, you're the only one we talk about now. And six months ago it was a laughing stock. They said that to me, those words, it was a laughing stock. And it was an absolute laughing stock. We've got the hottest nation right now in the whole world, and the numbers are reflecting it too. So I just think it's great.

And what I'll do is I'll sign this, and we can take a couple of questions if you want. And we will be finished, and you're going to go off, and you're going to build the most beautiful automobiles for 20 percent less money. And I want to thank you, man. You have done some job. Thank you, Okay. We're going to sign three bills that do everything I just said. No auto pens allowed. That's for you. Keep that mic.

That was a good one. I'll sign all three of them because you never know what you get with the doing. Number two. Very steady hand. It's very important. Very steady hand. It's very important. Very steady. Only a steady hand can sign like that, right?

I've been told that, actually. And here's number three, and it all goes into effect. Everything I said goes into effect. Lower prices, better cars, and choice. You can say choice. We have choice for education, and you have choice for cars now, right? Common sense is right.

You're right. Common sense is right. OK. Now I can give you the pen. And I'll give you these. Okay, I love you, sir. Congratulations, John. Okay, we'll take these.

Pass these around for us. With John James' response. Yeah. You have one, John? Yes, sir. Thank you, Mr. President. Pass him around. is Thank you. Go ahead, please. Mr. President, help! Mr. President. Brian, yeah, please. Yes, sir. I have some very close friends who run some of the largest auto dealerships in Southern California. What's that?

Auto-goers group. Good. I have a friend who runs a very good auto dealership in Southern California. He's a very good auto dealer. He's a very good auto dealer. He's a very good auto dealer. He's a very good auto dealer. He's a very good auto dealer.

He's a very good auto dealer. He's a very good auto dealer. He's a very good auto dealer. He's a very good auto dealer. He's a very good auto dealer. He's a very good auto dealer. He's a very good auto dealer. He's a very good auto dealer. He's a very good auto dealer. He's a very good auto dealer. He's a very good auto dealer. He's some very close friends who run some of the largest auto dealerships in

Southern California, the Bus Stack Auto Group. Good. Their message to you, the 100 percent of the IG right now, they know they're going through some soft sales period. That's true. They're getting it for the long haul. What's your message to thousands of auto dealers across this country that are kind of navigating through this terrible... Yeah, they're going to do better than ever before.

They're going to sell cars in America at levels that they've never even thought of before. And they're going to make more money than they ever made before. It's going to be great. They're going to be selling a better car, too. It's going to be a better product. They're behind you 100 percent. I know. I know that.

They have been behind me. They knew it was right. They've been asking for this for 25, 30 years, in all fairness. I know that they have been behind me. They knew it was right. They've been asking for this for 25, 30 years, in all fairness. No, they're very happy. I told you the autoworkers union week got tremendous votes. But they like me today even better than they did on election day on November 5th, because they see the results now.

They're all happening. Yeah, and they have plants moving in, Brian. A lot of plants are moving in. Thank you very much for that question. Yeah. Yeah. The governor of Daphnia, some kind of killed an auto industry. Oh, he was killing the auto industry.

I don't think he knew it. I think he's a guy who, he's just got a faulty thought process. You look at that train, the train is the most, I've seen people, stupid people, with cost overruns for years I've watched where something would cost twice as much or three times. But this thing is costing 20 times more. It's the most incredible disaster I've ever seen. That's one. The cars are just as bad. Everything's bad. And now you have this situation. So his own sheriff, who's a good man, by the way, said two days ago, three days ago, that we could not have done this without the

military. They were going to take over this whole, they couldn't have done it. Now today, they got him to change his tune. He said, oh I think we could have handled it. So sad. He was so honest. I was using his quote all over the place and they got him to change but but he knows Los Angeles would be right now burning to the ground just like the houses burned to the ground. It's so sad what's going on in Los Angeles. Think of it.

They had a fire that should have never had because they should have listened to me in the water. Eventually, we broke in and we had the water come down from the Pacific Northwest. I can show you pictures now with the half pipes, the big half pipes coming all the way down California. Water, so much water. They don't have any droughts. They don't have any. They have so much water. They sent it all out to the Pacific Ocean for 20 years. So ridiculous. And we got them to take it now.

But what they do and what they're doing, this is a big problem. And what they really want to do is keep criminals, because they're trying to protect criminals. Sanctuary cities are a disaster in this country, and most of the voters don't want them. Politicians like them for whatever reason, but I think the politicians are wrong. That's why we won in such a convincing fashion. We won all seven swing states. We won by millions of votes. We won 2,750 districts as opposed to 505.

That's why when you look at the map, it's almost all red. It's got two little blue stripes on each side of it. It's almost all red. But now you have to, I always got along with Gavin. I like Gavin, I've liked him always. He said I never called him. You know, they asked him a question on Fox, I guess. I never spoke to him. He doesn't remember the call. He doesn't remember. I never spoke. And then I produced a phone

call. I had it. It took me about two minutes. I said, well, here's the call. It lasted 16 minutes and four seconds, and it was at 1230 in the evening. I actually made a call. It didn't pick up. I called him a second time, and he picked up. And I told him, I said, you have to get your ass in gear, because you're going to have a problem there. And he would have. If we didn't bring the military in, he would have had, you would have right now, something. And I went through it because I followed the rules 100 percent.

And I watched in Minnesota, where you have the man who ran for Vice President of the United States, fortunately, he was a disaster, but he wouldn't call in the National Guard. And I eventually called in the National Guard, but it was seven days late. I said, I'll never do that again. If I see problems brewing, if they're not going to do the problem, I'm not going to wait two weeks, because that city, Minneapolis, burned down. Do you remember the CNN anchor? He was standing there saying, yes, this is a peaceful rally. And behind him, the entire city was on fire. It looked like World War II. And I appreciate

the question. Thank you. Sir, Mr. President, thank you very much for taking the time. Thank you. Two questions, if I may, sir. First, the terrible, horrific plane crash in India today. I'm sure you saw the images on TV. Your reaction to that first, and will you speak to Prime Minister Modi? The plane crash was terrible. I've already told them, anything we can do. It's a big country, a strong country. They'll handle it, I'm sure, but I let them know that anything we can do will be over there immediately. But it was a horrific crash. It looks like most

are gone. They actually maybe have a couple survivors, which is just hurt, but that was a horrible crash. Nobody knows, nobody has any idea what it might be. I gave them a couple of pointers. I said maybe you'll look at this or that. You know, we saw the plane. It looked like it was flying pretty well. It didn't look like there was an explosion. It just looked like the engines maybe lost power. But boy, that is a terrible crash. It's one of the worst in aviation history. Yeah, second? Q How confident are you, sir, serve that conflict with Iran can be avoided?

A Well, I'd love to avoid the conflict. Iran's going to have to negotiate a little bit tougher, meaning they're going to have to give us some things that they're not willing to give us right now. I'm the last person. I've kept this out of wars. We defeated ISIS completely, 100 percent, and I haven't had a peace through strength. I believe in peace through strength. We're the greatest military in the world. I rebuilt the military, as you remember, for four years. I rebuilt the military, and then

we gave a chunk of it away, but it was still peanuts. It was a lot, but it was peanuts compared to what we rebuilt. We gave it to Afghanistan. One of the most embarrassing moments in the history of our country, with the whole withdrawal, the way they withdrew, was very embarrassing. But we rebuilt the military. We have the greatest, strongest military. We defeated ISIS. We defeated ISIS. We defeated ISIS in four weeks. It was told to be five years. It was going to take five years, anywhere from four to five years. We did it in four weeks, with by the way, headed by the General, who is now the head

of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. That's why he's there. He said it would take four weeks, and he did it in four weeks. He did it actually a little bit faster. So we have a great country, and we're going to keep it that way. And when it comes to Los Angeles or other cities, if we see other cities are gearing up, and these people are agitators, they're paid, they're professionals, they're insurrectionists, they're troublemakers, they're all of those things,. I believe they're paid.

We're going to find out through Pam Bondi and her great staff, her great people, just as who they are. Mike, I think you're doing some investigations on that in Congress, but we're going to find out who they are because they're really, I think what they're doing is unbelievably illegal. Just one thing, they took the bricks away from people. They're walking in with satchels of bricks. Now, why do you have bricks?

You have bricks because you throw bricks. They're very potent. If they hit you, they kill you. And they took them away. The military took them away. They saw them. What the hell is this? The guy could hardly care.

But many bricks, he's a strong guy, couldn't carry them. And they saw that and they took him away. Then they found others with bricks. But they're ingenious. They also brought hammers along, very heavy hammers. And I saw them pounding the curb and pounding the sidewalk. And it was like a military operation. This guy's pounding strong, boom, big shots. and it was breaking up granite, the granite

curbs, and the granite was breaking up and the concrete was breaking up, and there was lines of people standing there and they're handing them. And then he stopped handing them. They just went down and picked them up. It was so professional. I said, that's a professional organization. They said, this is not like people at random. This guy's breaking up because they couldn't use the bricks. So who would think of this even? Did a lot of damage. A lot of curbs are broken. A lot of sidewalks broken.

But I never saw that before. That's one I haven't seen. I thought I saw it all. And they have it on tape. And with that, people get killed. They go to the bridges, and they drop the concrete off the top of the bridge with a car coming along at 70 miles an hour and the person dies. We had a lot of car problems. You saw that. They were all over the road. They were littered

all over the road where the cars got stopped by concrete going through the front windshield. These are bad people. If we didn't go, Los Angeles right now would be on fire. It would be a disaster. And we stopped it. And last night was very good. Nobody showed up. You know why they didn't show up? Because we were there if it was just the police. Because the police are great.

I know those police, they're great, but they're told not to do anything. They're not allowed to act. Thank you Mr. President how imminent is it Israeli strike on Iran? Well, I don't want to say imminent but it looks like it's something that could very well happen Look, it's very simple not complicated Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon other than that. I want them to be successful. I want them to be tremendous. We'll help them be successful.

We'll trade with them. We'll do whatever is necessary. You know, I stopped a war between India and Pakistan, and I stopped it with trade. Nobody, I don't think I've ever seen a story written about it, but it was pretty cool. They were getting ready. Pakistan was now, it was their turn to hit, and eventually they're going to go nuclear. And I stopped it. I called each.

I respect each leader greatly and know them. And I spoke to them, and I talked about trade. I said, but you're not trading with us if you're going to go to war. If you're going to start throwing nuclear weapons around. And I said it to both of them, and they were both unbelievable, actually. They understood it exactly. They stopped. I stopped that war with phone calls and trade.

India's here right now negotiating a trade deal, and Pakistan's coming I think next week. I'm very proud of that. Nobody died. The nuclear weapons, they each have very severe, very substantial numbers of nuclear weapons, and I think we should get some credit for that. The whole Republican Party should, because that's their mindset. Mr. President.

Yes, ma'am. On your China deal, Mr. President, are you still concerned about the national security issues with Chinese students studying in the United States? Well, I've always been in favor of students coming in from other countries. That includes China. And we have 500,000 Chinese students coming in. I've always been in favor of it.

Does it mean that you have to watch people? Yeah, you have to watch students, but you have to watch other people also. I've always been strongly in favor of it. I think it's a great thing. It's also good for our schools. I think it's good for our country. I'm also in favor of having them stay. I've been in favor of letting them stay.

If you get educated for four years, you're willing to get educated for four years. I like people being able to stay. You know, they have some great students. You have some, yeah, these are Republicans clapping. You know, because a lot of Republicans don't like that idea. I happen to like it. I'm a real Republican, believe it or not.

But I like the idea, they go four years. To me, that's almost like, you know, getting your, just buying your way in in a very legitimate way. And you know, getting your, just buying your way in, in a very legitimate way. And you know, you have stories where Apple wants to hire somebody and they can't hire because he can't stay. Went to a great school, he finished first in his class, they made him a big offer, and everything's done,

but he has no idea whether or not he's gonna be able to stay. And I'm all for making sure that people like that can go to work for all of our great companies. And you know what they do? They go back to their country, and there are stories that are all over the place. They go back to their company and they start a company just like they were going to start here.

They end up starting it in China or India or someplace else, and now they're among the richest people in the world. They've got thousands and thousands of employees that make it great. This is happening all the time because they're not allowed to stay. And I think we'll probably end up doing something about that. Right? I think.

Mr. President, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Mr. President, I'm sorry. Mr. President, I'm sorry. Yeah, go ahead. Go ahead. You in the blue, please. Light blue.

Thank you, Mr. President. How close are you to step back on between Ukraine and Russia? We see a very bad escalation. Are you going to leave it in the hands of the Europeans? I'm very close to the situation. I'm very disappointed in Russia, but I'm disappointed in Ukraine also, because I think deals could have been made. And you know, we're losing 5,000, 6,000 people a week, soldiers mostly, but also people living in

towns because they're getting hit by missiles again. How would you like to live in a building and you think a missile has a good chance of hitting your building during the evening? It's horrible. It must be horrible to live like that. But we'll get it, but I'm disappointed that it's not done. We did great with India and Pakistan. We did very good with Israel.

I thought, look, October 7th was a disaster. People forget, you know, they like to forget. That was a horrible thing. But none of these things would have happened if I were president. If I were president, none of it would have happened. You wouldn't have the Israel problem. Iran was broke. They had no money.

We had big sanctions on them. Biden immediately let them get rich. $300 billion they have right now. But they had no money for Hamas or Hezbollah. They had no money for anything. It was perfect. We wouldn't have had inflation that was caused by oil, Chris. The oil price went through the roof.

It was also caused by their spending, but it was caused more by oil than anything Chris. The oil price went through the roof. It was also caused by their spending, but it was caused more by oil than anything else. The oil went so high, it got close to $100 a barrel, and that cost. And that also kept the war going with Putin, because $100 a barrel, that was a big money-making experience. But now it's down to where it's not so good for them anymore. No, it's very important to get that. That's a bloodbath. That's a terrible bloodbath that's going on.

Yeah, please, go ahead. I I'm the leader of the trip, I can solve anything. And I started the first question, how long has it been going on? They said 2,000 years. I said, oh, that's a long time. They don't think about it. Mr. President, you need to be quiet. I'm the co-president. When I heard 2,000 years, they said, maybe I'll have you.

I'm going to solve that problem. Mr. President, will you honestly be quiet? You're going to be quiet. You're going to be quiet. You're going to be quiet. Peter? Thank you, keep the Trumpy question on your head? Peter? Thank you, President Trump. I have two.

First, on immigration, what made you change your mind about targeting in California farmers and people in the hotel and leisure business? Well, we're not targeting. In fact, if you look today, I put out a statement today about farmers. Our farmers are being hurt badly by, you know, they have very good workers. They've worked for them for 20 years. They're not citizens, but they've turned out to be great. And we're going to have to do something about that.

We can't take farmers and take all their people and send them back because they don't have maybe what they're supposed to have, maybe not. And you know what's going to happen and what is happening? They get rid of some of the people because you know, you go into a farm and you look and people don't, they've been there for 20, 25 years and they've worked great and the owner of the farm loves them and everything else and then you're supposed to throw them out and you know what happens? They end up hiring the people, the criminals that have come in, the murderers from prisons and everything else. So we're going to have an order on that

pretty soon I think. We can't do that to our farmers and leisure too, hotels. We're going to have to use a lot of common sense on that. And my other question about the Middle East, as the Israelis apparently gear up for some kind of an attack, a possible attack on Iran, Are you trying to talk Netanyahu out of doing that, or are you so against Iran having a nuclear weapon that you're okay? He does his thing because it's not an American war. Yeah, it's a very fair question. Look, I want to have an agreement with Iran.

We're fairly close to an agreement. We are fairly close to a pretty good agreement. It's got to be better than pretty good, though, but it's got to be I prefer an agreement. As long as I think there is an agreement, I don't want them going in because I think I would blow it might help it actually, but it also could blow it. But we've had very good discussions with Iran, whether or not we get there, I can't tell you. But it'll happen soon. I say this, Peter, very strongly.

They can't have, whether it's going in or not going in, they can't have a nuclear weapon. I'd prefer the more friendly path. And can you tell us what the Israelis told you to start to evacuate the dependents of servicemen and women who are stationed in the Middle East. They didn't tell me anything. But I said, look, there's a chance of massive conflict.

We have a lot of American people in this area. And I said, we've got to tell them to get out, because something could happen soon. And I don't want to be the one that didn't give any warning, and missiles are flying into their buildings. It's possible. So I had to do it. You know, I had the choice. Do I do it or not? Doing it has its downside, but it also has its upside,

like you're going to save a lot of lives if it should happen. Hopefully that doesn't happen. Right? Thank you. The President is coming to Washington on Saturday, a military parade. What would you like folks to take away from that day? What would you hope that they would remember? And also, Mr. President, our country and how strong our military is. We have the strongest military in the world. You know, it's very interesting. Three weeks ago, it was the end of world anniversary, end of World War II, and I called France, and Macron was a good man. I said, what are you doing? He goes, we're celebrating World War II,

our victory. I said, your victory? Tell Tell me about that.� Then I called somebody else, and I happened to speak to President Putin at the time. Now, in all fairness to him, he lost 51 million people, and he did fight. Russia fought. Sort of interesting, isn't it? He fought with us in World War II, and everybody hates him. In Germany and Japan, they're fine. Someday somebody will explain that, but I like Germany and Japan too. But Putin is a little confused by that. He said, we lost 51 million people and we were your ally, and now everybody hates Russia, and they love Germany and Japan.

I said, let's explain that sometime, okay? But it's a strange world, but I will say this. Look, I want them to go away saying how great our country is and how great our military is. And I was making all these calls for some reason. I spoke to like four different places. Sir, you're celebrating. And I said, you know, we won World War II and World War I, right? We won them.

And yet, we're the only country that doesn't celebrate. Everybody's celebrating except us. And I said, we should celebrate too. There are several no-kings protests planned across the country on Saturday as well. What are your thoughts on those? What are they going to do? No kings?

No kings. I don't feel like a king. I have to go through hell to get stuff approved. A king would say, I'm not going to get this. The king would have never had the California mandate to even be talking to him. He wouldn't have to call up Mike Johnson and Thune and say, fellas, you got to pull this off and after years we get it done. No, no, we're not a king.

We're not a king at all. Thank you very much. Go ahead. Yeah, go ahead. Go ahead. Mr. President, sir, you made a lengthy posting today on Truth Social about Senator Rand Paul. Do you expect to see him at the picnic tonight, sir? I do.

I look forward to seeing him, actually. I like him. He's the hardest vote in the history of the U.S. Senate to get. Probably won't get him. But he's a very tough vote. I mean, he's a very tough vote. He's always been a friend of mine. You know, I endorsed him and got him elected. I got him elected twice. But I don't think he understands how great this bill is. This is a great bill.

No tax on tips, no tax on the Social Security payments. It's unbelievable what happens. No tax on overtime. You work overtime, no more taxes. So those are big, but they're minor compared to the big things. Taxes reduced. And let's look at the other side. If it doesn't get approved, a 68 percent tax increase, including the fact that the Trump tax cuts kick in.

But it's a 68% tax increase and many other bad things. Some of them are so bad, I don't even want to talk about them. I think it's one of the greatest bills we'll ever pass in this country. And I think that Leader Thune and this gentleman right here, what he's gone through on this with, you know, we started off with a majority of one, now I guess we have seven, so it's like easier, but it's really sort of three. It's seven, but it really equates to three, right? And we have great support.

I mean, I can't tell you, I can't guarantee, but when you have a majority of essentially three where you can't lose anything more than three votes, and you get it passed, it's pretty amazing. And I think it's going to haunt the Democrats because most of the bill is common sense. It's tax cuts, it's border wall funding, it's military funding properly spent. It's all things that are like common sense. They're all good. There's nothing tricky about it. It's basic stuff.

And we don't intend on getting one, think of it, not one Democrat vote in the House, Mike, not one. Maybe somebody will come along. I don't know how they can run for office. So many different things. We're gonna, very important – Medicare and Medicaid are going to be strengthened, not hurt. You know, they're using fake narrative.

Oh, we're going to – no, they're going to be strengthened. We're going to strengthen them. They're going to destroy them, because under their policies, Medicare and Medicaid go away. Social security under them is going to be devastated. With us, it's going to be kept much stronger than before. And very interestingly, I saw this and I proved it, because for four years I never heard Medicare, Medicaid, or Social Security. I've already been there.

But they're going to destroy Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security. They're going to wipe them out, in in my opinion because their policies are so bad, the country will have no money to pay for them. We're gonna make them stronger than ever before. Thank you very much everybody. Thank you President Trump. Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, President Trump, how does he get the energy, man? How does he get the energy? He was at the Kennedy Center last night, stunning Melania.

Okay. Ladies and gentlemen, speaking of a Patriot who will be there this weekend. Singing in the great birthday for the United States Army in Washington, DC. I think you could definitely say it's Donald Trump's favorite musician, Lee Greenwood, live on the program right now. Lee, it's an honor to have you on the show. And I apologize. We just never know how long the president's gonna go. have you on the show and I apologize.

We just never know how long the president's going to go and you've performed with the president. Maybe, maybe dozens or hundreds of times. And so you just never know with the president. So we appreciate your patience. You're welcome. And I, and I agree with it. I don't know how he has such energy.

He's a Gemini. And of course his birthday is the same day as the flag day, June 14th, but I have to mention my wife's birthday is tomorrow. So I'm married to a Gemini and I understand that kind of energy and where it comes from. But yeah, I'll be in Washington. As a matter of fact, I said to my wife Kim, we've been married 33 years, a wonderful woman. Oh my gosh, I love her so much. And I said, I'm gonna give you something special for your birthday tomorrow.

What would you like to do? She said, I'd like to go to Washington, DC. Well, there happens to be a little event happening over there. How about we go in a parade? Everybody loves a parade, right? Yes, that's right. So tell us, so tell us, Lee, and I gotta tell you, man,

we were there for a very special performance just last week at Kid Rock's new Detroit Cowboy Bar. And you just, you just let a rip, man. It was a beautiful, beautiful rendition. And you played the piano and it was just spectacular to see it in such an intimate setting. Yeah, that was kind of fun. Here's our, here's our footage of you singing there.

Maybe the first musician to perform at the bar. I know that it's brand new, so congratulations. Right, well, thank you. Yeah, I like the club. And Kid Rocks, a friend of mine, you know, Bobby and I have been friends a long time. I do some of his shows, Rock the Country. They'll be coming up in Arkansas soon.

And so we've been a good association both supporting the president. rock the country, there'll be one coming up in Arkansas soon. And so we've been a good association both supporting the president. And that just happened spontaneously because I'm there in the club with my wife, Kim. We're kind of walking around, it's a lot of people I knew. And matter of fact, I was last night when the president was at the Kennedy Center watching Les Mis, which I should have been at, I was actually singing for the governor of Tennessee at the governor's mansion last night instead. So you know we could have got Trump but we didn't. And so I'm in the club walking around and I see the governor of

Tennessee and he's there as well at Kid Rocks Club and a few of our other friends in the business and i think i said whether the piano right there's anybody got a saying and uh... and and the people run in the place that will not i don't think so and i said well i think that make this i mean i'm a singer you know why why don't when we just do something and uh... and so i talked about me said if you want to say that's that's cool

and so uh... it's funny because as the place erupted, I'm singing God bless USA, which everybody of course knew I was probably gonna sing. And at the very end, I just took the mic off the stand and stood up and I said, okay, let's make this happen. Let's everybody do this together. No music, just sing it. And that was really cool.

It was fun for me to do. It was beautiful, man. It was incredible rendition. And I think if there's somebody who is in Trump's echelon of energy, it's you. We saw you in the Middle East performing for the troops. Must've been just a few weeks ago. And then here, ping ponging,

ping pong balling between Kid Rocks Bar, the governor's mansion, and now the White House for the Army 250 birthday celebration. Can you give us a preview of what your weekend's gonna look like? I was a drum major for my high school marching band. And I used to march right alongside military bands. For the past 25 years or so,

I've been an advocate for military, particularly wounded warriors. We build them homes all over the Southeast thanks to Lunar Homes and a few others. Helping a Hero is our charity, but we we work alongside other charities as well in the same regard. So when I I'm going to Washington DC and I'm gonna get in a parade with the United States Army, I'm like this is the most important thing I will do this week and maybe this month and maybe this year, 250 years for the United

States Army and I didn't know that they were actually a standing army a year before we became a country. Of course we had to defeat the British before we had the Declaration of Independence, I get it. But I've been in all those vehicles, I shot an M1 tank out at Barstow and and been on aircraft carriers and airplanes and stuff and shot you know know, the weapons and all. But let me tell you, these guys that march in that parade, that's our first line of defense. These men and women put their lives on the line for us and they proudly will march in the parade.

They probably will get all of our applause because we honor them for their job. And the president is all believing about the military, as you know, he's strengthened the military now. And to be there with him and be able to sing and honor the army, it'll be a great day, a day I won't forget. And you will be, so you will be in the parade and performing? Yes.

Fantastic. And it looks like President Trump is truethed about you performing and how excited he is for it. I believe it's also the president's birthday. So what a banner day. Can you give us a, since you spent so much time with the president, can you give us, what story comes to mind that happens

like maybe behind the scenes or something that we couldn't see on the live stream? He's in his disarming guy. He's very big fella by the way. And in many of our performances, he will he'll come on the stage and walk the red carpet while I'm singing it has it. I don't know. It's just how it's happened. I was actually in my living room with my feet up one time when the first time I saw him using my song and I thought,

boy, that's really cool. And then we got the call and asked if we would sing again and again and again and again. And so several times I'll be on stage. Particularly, let's talk about Madison Square Garden, okay? He could have easily played my track and walked on stage with the track and not have it, but he asked me to be there in person. So I'm standing at the edge of the arena where the Secret Service is all around the edge and believe me, that was a huge crowd by the way. We thought it was going to turn New York red.

And my wife is there with me and I'm walking past the Secret Service who are kind of just giving me one of those little eye looks, you know. And I'm the only one allowed into the compound. And there's a Secret Service guy standing at the steps, Melania's upstairs on the platform waiting for the president. The music starts, he starts walking out, and I can't get past the Secret Service guy. Wow. Excuse me.

Pardon me. And he gave me that look like, who the hell are you? And I guess then somebody said to me, stand aside and let him get up there. Okay, fine. So then I walk up there, and the media had already told me, they said, stand to the left,

we wanna make sure we have the shot with just the president and the first lady. And so there I am singing in the, and so when I, after he's been introduced and they got the shot, he turned Melania to face me, and then let me finish the song. Of course, you walk up, he shook hands with me, and I think I shook hands with the First Lady as well,

and then when I finished, he just gave me a slap on the back. It's like I just finished the basketball tournament. Get out of here. And he's like that in person. He's so genuinely honest with people around him, almost to a fault. But big happy birthday to Mr. President.

I'll see you on the 14th and Saturday. Just wanted to ask one final question about the entertainers and musicians who took the stage for Kamala Harris while she was running for president. I guess you saw Eminem and Beyonce, Lizzo going up there. I, maybe they made a lot of money, you know? You never know.

You saw her announce her campaign with Megan Thee Stallion and a twerking army in Atlanta. Yeah, it was, you know, certainly the left attempts to use music in order to engage their voter base, but it didn't work this time. It's quite interesting. It failed miserably. Your take on this.

Well, it looks to me like it's obviously a show. I mean, they're putting on some kind of a thing to draw attention to the candidate. It was way over the top. And just to make sure that you know, I'm never paid for my performances for the president. Wow. I do not. But there is a perk, and I'm going to mention the perk, okay?

And that is God Bless USA Bible. Now I'm mentioning this because first of all, I'm a conservative and I'm a Christian, and I'm going to sign this particular Bible for the president. This is the presidential edition of the God Bless USA Bible. And I'm gonna give him my signed copy because I don't think he's seen this yet. And proudly let you know that if your audience would like to pick up one of these,

there's only 5,000 of them. It's a limited edition. So godblessusabible.com or leegreenwood.com and pick up one of these for the president. All right. And your message to the Lizzo's and Beyonce's and Megan the Stallions and M&Ms of the world? Become a conservative. It'll do you well. That's right. Kid Rock told me that he's going to work on the next dinner at the White House. He's gonna work on the M&M dinner at the White House.

Oh, good luck. You can bring them together. That's right. Thanks, Benny. Well, you're a complete legend, Lee. We deeply appreciate you on the show. Here's the website right here and then also Lee's website. You can see him performing this weekend at Saturday and it's gonna be a banner day. Thank you Lee

Okay, ladies and gentlemen, I did wanna touch on something because we teased it and we've been talking about it. It's the number one trend in the world right now. Uh, so let's freaking go. And the president was asked about it and brought it up twice during his, uh, how long was that Klein? It was at least an

hour plus. It was an hour plus with president Trump, how he has the energy. I don't know, man, how he has the energy. I don't so here's what happened there was a horrific plane crash in India and this plane crash was a Boeing 787 this crash happened right after the plane had left the runway and had 242 souls on board the death toll is now at 290 horrifically, creeping up to the 300 people mark due to the fact that the plane crashed into buildings. Here's footage of the plane crash itself. It's a terrible fireball and explosion

as the plane slammed into a series of taller towers moments after takeoff. It barely got a half a mile from the runway. What happened here? And more importantly, there was a survivor. Somebody survived that. This is insanity. Uh, here's what we know right now. Man has escaped seat 11 a, a British man who's a dual citizen of Britain and India. He walked away from that crash. This is incredible. I don't know how it's possible. Uh, but here we go. A British father miraculously walked away from the air India plane disaster, which believed to have claimed the lives of at least 290 people, according to the authorities in India.

His name is Vishwas Ramesh. He's 40 years old. He spoke from the safety of a hospital bed hours after making an incredible walk away from the doomed flight that was going to Gatwick. This is a airport in London. It's called Flight 171 earlier today. A sonneting footage showed the passenger with visible injuries hobbling away from the scene of the crash. He reportedly sustained injuries to his chest, eyes, and feet. Police found the passenger

who had been in seat 11A when the jet came down in a residential area. He'd been transferred him to a nearby hospital for treatment. Thirty seconds after takeoff, there was a loud noise and the plane crashed. It all happened so quickly, he told the local media. When I got up, there were bodies all around me. I was scared. I stood up and ran. There were pieces of the plane all around me.

Somebody grabbed hold of me and put me in an ambulance and brought me to the hospital. Mr. Ramesh lives in London with his wife and child. He was traveling home after seeing family in India when the plane crashed, hitting buildings, housing doctors in the city of Ahmedabad. It's horrible. On the ground, police say that they found another survivor in the hospital struck by the plane.

They confirmed the death toll climbed to 290 people, according to the police. Before the discovery of the British survivors, Oslo already said they believed no one had escaped alive. The plane had been carrying 244 passengers, according to the police. There were 53 British citizens on board, 159 Indian nationals,

Portuguese and Canadian citizens as well. It's very much an international flight. Again, it was traveling to London. 11 of those on board were children, including two newborns. Oh, it's just terrible. Rescue teams reported by the military have recovered 204 bodies, I've seen so far casualties from the plane

in the area surrounding the crash. Aviation experts say the Boeing 787 Dreamliner may have suddenly lost power at the most critical phase of the flight. Show me his seat, show me his seat right there. There is where he was sitting. That's insane. Show me him walking away.

This is wild. So here's this dude walking away. Ladies and gentlemen, here's the footage right here. Here he is, the guy in the white t-shirt that has all the smoke and scarring blood on it. That dude is the astonishing survivor, lone survivor of this plane crash. Mr. Ramesh, he's 40. He's a dual Indian and British citizen. And he won any he he survived. I mean, you can see he sustained injuries to his face got obviously got beat up on the crash. But he is somehow as the plane smashed into the building, survived.

Remarkable. We're breaking news on this. Here's him potentially speaking to the media. Go. A remarkable story of survival. It seems that we can now bring you a name that's been reported now by the Hindustan Times and other outlets now of that survivor, 40-year-old Vishwas Kumar Ramesh. There you see him in hospital, his face a bit bloodied and battered, but he was able to walk away from this Boeing 787 as it burst into flames. He was sat, we're told, in seat 11A. There are other images that show a man in a white t-shirt limping,

but otherwise able to walk away from that scene from that aircraft crash, with some blood stain on his white t-shirt, a bit of a blackened suit, the odd mark on the white t-shirt, but really just able to walk away from that aircraft. crazy, just insane. How's it even possible? I don't know.

You can see, again, like you can see the footage of the footage of the plane crash is just totally horrific. I mean, it's a massive, just massive fire. How any single human being survives this? How's that possible? How, not just survives, but walks away? You see footage of the aircraft, like littered all over. Like, how do you survive?

Like, how is that possible? This is nuts. Here's the CCTV footage. Shows you exactly how doomed this plane was. It barely got lift and then you can see it immediately lose power and collapse here. The plane goes for like a quarter mile and then crashes down. This is footage from the airport itself. This is footage from the airport itself.

There it goes. And then it crashes into buildings, housing units and other buildings. How do you survive? How do you survive that? That's wild. That's, I don't know how it's physically possible. Is this a hoax? Just like, just the amount of fuel,

just the amount of, this is the heat from the explosion. Okay, crazy. Guy walks away. Listen to this. ANI speaking to ANI on a phone call. Ahmedabad police commissioner says G.S. Malik, the police have found one survivor in seat 11A.

One survivor has been found in the hospital and is under treatment. Cannot say anything about the number of deaths yet. The debt toll may increase as the flight crashed in a residential area. So that's the big news that we are getting at this moment. There is hope. One survivor has walked out unscathed. How it's possible. I'm not sure what the hell happened to this plane.

Let's like talk about this. Is a Boeing plane. What happened to this plane? Let's like talk about this. It's a Boeing plane, 787. Preliminary flight tracking data from flight radar reveals the plane reached an altitude of 600 feet after takeoff, a height far below standard for a commercial aircraft, several minutes into departure.

A former senior pilot told them that the footage shows a terrifying descent, looked like the case of multiple birds wherein both engines have lost power. Takeoff was perfect he said and I just believe the short of taking off the gear of the aircraft started descending which can happen in the case that engines lose power and the aircraft aircraft stops developing lift. Aviation expert Sanjay Lozor noted that the Dreamliner was only 11 years old, so unlikely to have underlying technical issues,

the plane was under the command of Captain Sumit Subwar, who had nearly 10,000 hours of experience, it's a lot of flight time. A bird strike would explain why the aircraft did not have the power to lift. If there were multiple birds hit during takeoff, it probably could not have gone beyond six to seven minute threshold before it started falling. The pilot's forum aviation experts sounded the alarm sounded like the plane's ram air turbine

rat is what it's called an emergency wind turbine had deployed shortly before the crash. Okay. What is rat air India B seven eight seven Boeing seven eighty seven. Some people think they hear the characteristic sounds of a rat Ram air turbine hydraulic energy pump being deployed at the beginning of the crash video. And I agree. So you can see here what that looks like. It looks like there is a looks like there is a deployment of what is a safety system. Left antenna, right antenna, RAT, RAM air turbine. What is this?

A RAM air turbine, hydraulic energy pump seems to be deployed at the beginning of the crash video. This is what a rat is from the Boeing Company website. In flight, a RAT deploys automatically. If any of the following occur, both engines have failed, all three hydraulic system pressures are low, loss of electrical power to the captain's

and first officer's flight instruments, loss of all four EMPs falls to the flight's control system, occur on approach. Loss of all four EMPs and engine fails on takeoff of landing. The RAT can be deployed manually if necessary by pushing the ram air turbine switch in the hydraulic panel. I am not a professional pilot. However, what this says is that this is a safety and emergency system in case the plane loses power terminally and it begins to lose airspeed and altitude. So effectively when both engines have failed, this is the deployment system.

And airline experts are saying that they hear this system being deployed. Apparently there is something audible to it and then you can see it up here potentially in footage of the crash. Obviously you have a situation here where a lot of people are wondering like, one, how does some dude escape?

Two, how did this happen in the first place? Right? How does this, how does this happen? I mean, there's thousands and thousands and thousands of flights a day all around the world. Many of those planes are Boeing planes. What's going on here? Is it pilot error or is it something more technical?

Well, there's a survivor, I guess. I mean, again, I find it very hard to believe, but you can see here in the footage, why I find that hard to believe, because you can see the size of the fireball alone would seem to indicate that there's no survivors because how would you be able how would the human body be able to withstand the heat there? You know, the temperatures there have got to be extraordinary inside of that fireball.

You'd have to be inside the fireball. Again, miracles happen. Maybe it's a literal miracle. Apparently the guy is talking to the media and is explaining what happened. I want to just go over to this other Daily Mail article just to show you the wreckage. You know you can see the wreckage here from the plane. You see the tail the plane crashed into the side of the building. You see the tail sitting there hanging off the side of the building. And obviously, everything just in ash, you know.

So what you're looking at is the atomized. Fuselage of the plane, and you scroll down here and you can see some parts of the plane are still operational. This would be the tail of the plane, not operational, but it hasn't been burned to a crisp. So maybe, maybe, I mean, there are visible parts of the plane that survived, go down farther in the article, please.

You can see a wing here. There's the wing of the aircraft, the tail of the aircraft, and I guess miracles do happen, right? So there's obviously the burning chart remains, but you can look here. There's the wing, and again it's intact I suppose, and here's the you know the tail of the plane that is also relatively intact to me you can see it you know So I don't know That this is insane miracle and see 11a British survivor walking away from the crash alright
