Major victory today on the Supreme Court. You're doing wonderful work, by the way, May, helping this agenda every day.

So congratulations on that. And also congratulations on this major decision from the Supreme Court. Tell us all about it, May. Yeah, this is a huge day. You know, you are optimistic, but even I wasn't this optimistic. This is amazing. So, for years, President Trump has been essentially told what to do by random, unelected district court judges.

More than half of all nationwide injunctions that have ever taken place are against President Trump. Everything from judges telling him he needs to put transgender people in the military, how he needs to run his immigration, everything from the wall to who is deported, top to bottom nationwide injunctions. And it was not the same when Trump was out of office and conservative judges often restrained themselves.

So the Title IX case, which many people will remember, the conservative states sued and did pause Biden's illegal Title IX rewrite in those states, but not nationwide until of course we came in and said, we're not doing that anymore. So this is a really huge day. And so May, just go deeper into this for our audience. This means that if there is an injunction,

it will only pertain to the district that the injunction was authored in. Is this the end of all nationwide injunctions? Oh, of course, the left is gonna try and weasel around this. So this case particularly pertained to birthright citizenship. Obviously on day one, President Trump said,

illegal aliens, their children don't automatically become citizens. It set up a little system in order to do that. And a lot of people sued. So three different courts said, we're not just going to say that this law is illegal as pertains to who is in front of us. We're going to say that this executive order is illegal everywhere, for everyone, for all

time. And so the Supreme Court said, no, you're not going to do that. Now, there are still some open questions. So, for example, if a group of 10 states sue, can you enjoin the executive order in those 10 states and for anybody who passes through that state? You know, there are ways to make this broad. Then there's the class action approach. So, of course, the left is left is gonna keep trying to push this keep trying to push this. However, yes, it is true that today Nationwide injunctions that are just sweeping we don't like you Trump So we're gonna stop you from doing what you would like to do because I'm a district court judge and I'm bored

That practice is over I'm a district court judge and I'm bored, that practice is over. And the profundity and the significance of this is that this was all happening in like five different jurisdictions. And the original intent of the Constitution was never to have a singular district court judge be able to sweep the entire nation repeatedly. And so what other than executive orders does this potentially free up that are now enjoined? Yeah, so this is going to have a huge impact. Let's just take, for example, some of our policies that have said we're not going to spend money on hospitals, transgender procedures for minors. That gets enjoined.

We've also said we're not, that's a big one. We've also said, for example, that we're not going to fund transgender procedures in prison. So these sorts of things, these cultural issues, I think are gonna move forward. Now the Supreme Court has done a pretty good job of whacking these district court judges

when they get too far. So, for example, we had judges say that you can't deport people to third countries, and the Supreme Court said, no, you can, but it has been a repeated, repeated, repeated going up to the Supreme Court. And the Supreme Court basically says, this is not how it's supposed to be.

There's not supposed to be an emergency every single time that affects the entire nation. Parties need to individually sue, and then they can get relief for those parties. And some people win and some people lose, and that'll percolate up to the Supreme Court. And they'll be able to look and see what are the different reasonings that we have, how is the law being interpreted, What do we need to fix? So this is really good for process for the American people. This is good for the Supreme Court for people to trust the opinions that are coming out of there because they will be more thoughtful.

They'll have more information. This is a net positive for everybody. And of course, the dissent does not see it that way. So May, do you have any thoughts on the dissent against Katanji Brown Jackson? It was just pure judicial savagery. I mean, this is at, quote, this is the whole dissent. We will not dwell on Justice Jackson's argument, which

is at odds with more than two centuries worth of precedent, not to mention the Constitution itself. We observe only this. Justice Jackson decries an imperial executive while embracing an imperial judiciary." Look, I got to be honest, that Amy Coney Barrett is not always with us, but this was a phenomenal sharp, usually dissents are multiple pages long and they're deep. This is one paragraph that goes right after KBJ, your thoughts may mailman. So Justice Jackson obviously has not been consistent

in being brave and yet she's been consistent in being concerned about an overstep of judicial power and so really she is aghast that Justice Jackson thinks, and this is what Justice Jackson wrote down on paper, that she thinks that the job of a judge is to stop Trump, is to see any time that an executive is doing something that that judge believes is against the law and stop it. But that's not the case. So one, there are rules that apply to judges too. You as a judge have the judicial power. You don't have policy making power. I don't like this.

I think these people should be getting that. You can't just step in and say that. You as a judge have limited powers to decide cases and controversies. This is in the Constitution, cases and controversies, which means between the parties that are in front of you, issues that are in front of you. And Justice Jackson cares none about that. Now, the founders did care about that, and there were certainly models out there that said before laws can take effect,

before an executive can act, they have to ask the judiciary for permission. Say, can I do this? And the judiciary can say yes or no. That is not our system. Our system is three equal branches. And for the judiciary to not be a super branch that sits over everybody and tells everybody what to do,

there are certain rules. Justice Jackson does not care about those rules. And she has no basis for it. She just doesn't like it. And so Justice Barrett very rightly says, you know what? At least the other two liberals pointed to laws underpinning why they disagree. You don't.

You just want to tell Trump what to do. And that's insane. And it is a remarkable opinion from Justice Barrett. It is. And May, I want to keep you for a couple more minutes if that's okay. I know that we have packed schedules, but the audience is loving this. Can you speak more broadly to the policy portfolio that the president is pushing that I know that you're working on with Stephen Miller in regards to immigration? We must have the immigration customs and enforcement back, have their back,

and we do on this program. How does these legal decisions impact our ability to be able to do mass deportations? And what cases are you most closely looking at so that we can have expedited removal of alien invaders? Yeah, the American people voted overwhelmingly for border security, but they also voted for interior enforcement. Because if you can cross the border and make it into the country and then it's, oh, there's no recourse for you, then you do not have

a closed border. Border security, interior enforcement is national security. And so the cases that this is going to affect are many. It is going to affect whether Biden had any authority to basically create fake immigration laws to say you can CBP one your way into this country. It's going to affect, continue to affect cases like the ones that I mentioned. Where can individuals be removed to? It's going to affect authorities that you can use money that you can use to detain people

and to build the wall. There is a countless application for immigration law here. Even things like the student visas, whether or not the executive has authority to take away student visas. When the law says so, but judges don't like that. And so today's a really great day for the separation of powers and for limited judicial power, which is unchecked. They want to have a ceremonial executive.

They just want a ribbon cutting executive where the president welcomes Super Bowl champions and Little League World Series kids, and they come to the White House and they get dinners and they just smile and wave and all of a sudden you have no power. We have three co-equal branches. Co-equal. We do not have traditional supremacy or legislative supremacy. So, May, can you talk a little bit to the strategy, this shock and awe executive order strategy that the president developed, which was that he signed a lot of executive orders early. The brilliance of doing this early in the term was that we knew there was going to be a flurry of legal challenges.

But to adjudicate those in the first six to nine months, instead of going into year two, three, or four, is a brilliant strategy. It's so smart, it's so wise, because we're gonna see more and more of these very well tailored and sometimes legally provocative executive orders figured out earlier than later so that we can then govern for the remainder of the administration, not fight in the courts the entire administration, May.

Charlie, this is my favorite issue, so thanks for bringing it up. And you were there during transition, you saw how hard people were working because this change is something that matters to us. So during 1.0, my personal experience was there was a regulation we were trying to get passed and I said, hey, can I see a draft of this in six months?

And they laughed at me. The agency laughed at me and said, no, this will take years. And sure enough, the public charge regulation did not come out for several years. And even though we were successfully litigating that case, it was so late in the term that by the time that we were ready to take it to the Supreme Court, there was a change in administration. And so, of course, Biden took it down. And this was something that says, in order to come here, you have to basically be able to pay your way a little bit and not be a huge drag on society. So now, during Trump 2.0, the lesson that we have learned

is, no, you can do things quickly. We know this because during COVID, we did do things quickly. And we saw the deep state work with us. They were so excited to do some of these things. And then also, we saw Biden worked really quickly. So it is absolutely possible. And we just said, this is, we're not taking no for an answer this time. We're going to move quickly.

And everyone understand. So the speed and the rapidity, because we know legal challenges are coming. And so they're going to come. So you brace for impact early. So for example, in Trump 1.0, one of the biggest legal accomplishments that not come I think to like year two and a half or three, which was remain in Mexico on the border. And it took us like two years to finally get it through. This time we're building on a strong legal basis for the border, which is one of the reasons why the border

is totally secure, because we did all that legal work in Trump 1. You see, we worked through the courts in the thicket and we did all that. So then day one, we could just reimplement everything we already did. President Trump signs documents, cartels, foreign terrorist organization, remain in Mexico, with print and tariffs. Boom, military declaration. Next thing you know, we have zero people coming across the southern border. Speak to how we sometimes have to let this play out. And then the good stuff is really going to start rolling in the coming years.

Now that we navigate through the frustrating, but necessary component of the third branch of government. Yeah. And this ruling is going to help alleviate some of the frustration. But basically, the executive orders come out. You have rogue parties and you have rogue judges in joining them. And there's a low point. You know, there's a point where you feel like the things that you wanted aren't happening. And what are you going to do about it?

And the Supreme Court has been good with overturning some of that. But really, some of it is a slog. The Supreme Court does not sit every day to answer every single one of our questions. And so it requires building that case, picking the right cases, finding the best arguments, and taking that to the Supreme Court. Now, those are going to be taken next term. So when the Supreme Court reconvenes in October, those cases are all in front of them, and it's on a strong posture.

Those are our best cases. Those are our best arguments. And so it leaves still three years, essentially, to go implement the rest of the agenda and solidify them, make that get our wins in Congress, and to really execute and change the course of the country, because that is what this presidency is about. It's not about racking up minor wins. It's about changing the trajectory of our nation.

Saving the civilization. Last question here, May. I want you to brag on what the president, you, Steven, have done on the border. It's unlike anything we've ever seen before. We have to repeat it every day. I don't think we're doing a good enough job of beating the drum of success on the border.

How did you do it? And what operationally is the truth of what is not happening on the southern border? Yeah, so the border is a signature success. And the fact that people aren't talking about it anymore is because things aren't going wrong. on the southern border. Yeah. So the border is a signature success. And the fact that people aren't talking about it anymore is because things aren't going wrong. Right?

Things are going right. Exactly. And so what you see when the numbers are zero, what does that mean? Zero means that there are no godaways. There's nobody that we're tracking via drones seeing that they get away. Every single person is, and there are some illegal crossers, but they are detained and then they are deported. And that is not only a success.

So that's not just a success of our border patrol agents. That's also a success of Marco Rubio and our state department, because people didn't accept their migrants back when it was Biden, because they said, no, we don't want our criminal. And Biden said, okay, but now we say you will take back your citizens. And people know not to mess with Trump and not to mess with our new era of American greatness. And so border security is so

much more than just the infrastructure there or the wall or the people. It is American power that's being asserted again. May, congratulations. Come back soon. You're terrific. May Mailman from the administration. Wonderful job. Thanks so much. Thanks, Charlie. Making America Great Again starts with making America healthy again. Charlie Kirk here.

That is myphdweightloss.com, 8664-644-1900. Well, this was a big one, wasn't it? This was a big decision. An amazing decision, one that we're very happy about. This morning, the Supreme Court has delivered a monumental victory for the Constitution, the separation of powers, and the rule of law. In striking down the excessive use of

nationwide injunctions to interfere with the normal functioning of the executive branch, the Supreme Court has stopped the presidency itself. That's what they've done. And really, it's been an amazing period of time, this last hour. There are people elated all over the country. I've seen such happiness and spirit.

Sometimes you don't see that, but this case is very important. I was elected on a historic mandate, but in recent months, we've seen a handful of radical-left judges effectively try to overrule the rightful powers of the President to stop the American people from getting the policies that they voted for in record numbers. It was a grave threat to democracy, frankly, and instead of merely ruling on the immediate cases before them,

these judges have attempted to dictate the law for the entire nation. In practice, this meant that if any one of the nearly 700 federal judges disagreed with the policy of a duly elected president of the United States. He or she could block that policy from going into effect, or at least delay it for many years, tie it up in the court system. This was a colossal abuse of power which never occurred in American history prior to recent decades.

And we've been hit with more nationwide injunctions than were issued in the entire 20th century together. Think of it more than the entire 20th century. Me. I'm grateful to the Supreme Court for stepping in and solving this very, very big and complex problem, and they've made it very simple.

I want to thank Justice Barrett, who wrote the opinion brilliantly, as well as Chief Justice Roberts, and Justices Alito, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Thomas. Great people. Thanks for this decision, and thanks to this decision. We can now promptly file to proceed with numerous policies that have been wrongly enjoined on a nationwide basis. And some of the cases we're talking about would be ending birthright citizenship, which now comes to the fore. That was meant for the babies of slaves. It wasn't meant for people trying to scam the system and come into the country

on a vacation. This was, in fact, it was the same date, the exact same date, the end of the Civil War. It was meant for the babies of slaves, and it's so clean and so obvious. But this lets us go there and finally win that case, because hundreds of thousands of people are pouring into our country under birthright citizenship. And it wasn't meant for that reason.

It was meant for the babies of slaves. So thanks to this decision, we can now properly file to proceed with these numerous policies and those that have been wrongly enjoined on a nationwide basis, including birthright citizenship, ending sanctuary city funding, suspending refugee resettlement, freezing unnecessary funding, stopping federal taxpayers from paying for transgender surgeries, and numerous other priorities of the American people. We have so many of them.

I have a whole list. I'm not going to bore you, and I'm going to have Pam get up and say a few words. But there's really a — she can talk as long as she wants, because this is a very important decision. This is a decision that covers a tremendous amount of territory But I want to just thank again the Supreme Court for this ruling. It's a giant. It's a giant and They should be very proud and our country should be very proud of the Supreme Court today. And with that I'd like you to

Listen to the words of Pam Bondi. She's an incredible attorney general. We're very proud of her. And as you know, Todd Blanch is with us and we have so many others that worked on this case and other cases. And I think they're doing a great job. Pam, please say a few words. Thank you, President Trump. Thank you for fighting for all Americans. Americans are finally getting what they voted for. No longer will we have rogue judges striking down President Trump's policies across the entire nation.

No longer. Today, in the 6-3 opinion, Justice Barrett correctly holds that the district court lacks authority to enter nationwide or universal injunctions. These lawless injunctions gave relief to everyone in the world instead of the parties before the court. As the Supreme Court held today, they turned district courts into the imperial judiciary. Active liberal justices, judges have used these injunctions to block virtually all of President Trump's policies. To put this in perspective, there are 94 federal judicial districts. Five of those districts throughout this country held 35 of the nationwide injunctions.

Think about that. Ninety-four districts and 35 out of the 40 opinions with nationwide injunctions came from five liberal districts in this country. No longer. No longer. These injunctions have blocked our policies from tariffs to military readiness to immigration to foreign affairs, fraud, abuse and many other issues. The judges have tried to seize the executive branch's power and they cannot do that. No longer. No longer. And on immigration, on a side note, today marks 2,711 arrests on these terrorists and these gangs. Total arrest today with HSI investigations. And thank you, Stephen Miller. Thank you to Homeland Security. Thank you to everyone working hand in hand

with the FBI on all of these transnational gangs. TDA has been a huge terror to our country, as well as MS-13, as well as Sinaloa cartels. No longer. No longer. These injunctions have allowed district court judges to be emperors. They vetoed all of President Trump's power, and they cannot do that. This has been a bipartisan problem that has lasted five presidential terms, five different

presidents, and it has ended today. We will continue to fight for President Trump's policies. I want to thank the Office of White House Counsel, Dave Warrington. You and your staff have been incredible. Our Solicitor General's Office, John Sowers, Sarah Harris, and Todd Blanch and Amal Bovi. Todd's going to say a few words because we've had another major ruling today on transgender books and some other great wins that we've had. But no longer will they have this power in our country.

It is the President's authority under his executive Branch to do everything to fight for the American people and he will continue to do that. That's why he was Overwhelmingly elected. Thank you Thank you today's it today's a great day for the rule of law It's a great day for the Justice Department. And it's one that's been a long time coming and one that every American should have been waiting for with bated breath. And so I echo what the President said

and Attorney General Bondi, that the Supreme Court did a great thing today, not only for this administration, but for every American in this country. If not for the injunctions case, we would be here talking about another great decision that came down today, the Trans Books case, which restores parents' rights

to decide their child's education. Seems like a basic idea, but it took the Supreme Court to set the record straight, and we thank them for that. And now that ruling allows parents to opt out of dangerous trans ideology and make the decisions for their children that they believe is correct. And so we thank the Supreme Court for that.

There's been multiple decisions over the past several weeks that just show why this injunction, why this nationwide injunction ban had to happen. For example, what I mean by that is local district court judges issuing decisions that are clearly contrary to law just because they don't like the policy of President Trump. And when it gets to the Supreme Court, the Supreme Court has to correct it. But that takes time. The attorney general thanked our lawyers, and I'll do it again. Our lawyers are working 24 hours a day, seven days a week to fight these injunctions and

to emergency appeals, emergency stays, going back to the district court judge asking them to change their view. And so their hard work is really paying off today, but over the past few weeks. We had a stay of an order that prevented DHS from moving aliens to a third country. We had a stay of an order that stopped the Department of Defense from implementing military readiness, the EO that President Trump signed. We had another stay of an order forcing reinstatement of fired executive branch employees entirely within the President and Article 2 his right to do.

We had a stay of, as you all know, of numerous Doge cases. And again, every one of those stays requires a tremendous amount of work and effort by the lawyers and parties involved, and they should be doing other work. They should be doing the work that the president and this administration demands and has a right to demand, and not fighting these local judges who don't make decisions based on the law.

They make decisions because they just simply don't agree with the administration's decision about a policy, and that's wrong. Thank you. Any questions? Yes, for Pam, please. Go ahead. Sure. Thank you, Madam Attorney General.

So, as you know, the Supreme Court did not rule on the underlying constitutionality of the President's birthright citizenship order. So what is the plan now? Are you going to try to implement the EO just in states where there isn't a legal challenge? Yes, so birthright citizenship will be decided in October in the next session by the Supreme Court, unless it comes down in the next few minutes. I guess it could come down. There's still, I think there's still deliberating right now on some cases. As you heard, we just got

transgender books, which is a huge win, but most likely that will be decided in October in the next session. However, it indirectly impacts us because, as you correctly pointed out, if there's a birthright citizenship case in Oregon, it will only affect the plaintiff in Oregon, not the entire country. So, yes, it's indirectly, but that's pending litigation, and we're waiting on that in the next term. And how concerned are you that the Supreme Court will come back and determine that the executive order is unconstitutional?

We're very confident in the Supreme Court, but again, it's pending litigation, and that will directly be determined in October, but it indirectly impacts every case in this country and we're thrilled with their decision today. Peter. Madam Attorney General, thank you for being here to take our questions. A couple of questions to the both of you. The EO had a 30 day grace period

before it goes into effect. Is there any thought about trying to make it effective immediately within that period of time? We're gonna follow the law. We're gonna make those decisions and we're gonna do what's right in the bounds of the law. And then the DOJ didn't ask the justices to rule on the merits of the birthright citizenship ban just for explanation purposes. Why? Sure, because that's going to come down in October in the separate. This was huge

because it's indirectly impacted today. As I said, it's now it's case by case. Let me reiterate of the 35 of the 40 nationwide injunctions filed against this president against his executive authority as president of the United States. Massachusetts, California, Washington. I mean, that's crazy. These five districts. So, yes, it indirectly impacts us. It will be a separate decision in October. Next question? Thank you, Mr. President. A question for you, sir. Do you believe this ends the power of the lower court judges to stop your agenda? Do you see this as a full green light for your agenda going forward?

Well, you'd have to really speak to the lawyers about that. But this is really also a decision based on common sense. It didn't work the other way. It was a disaster where somebody from a certain location in a very liberal state or a liberal judge or a liberal group of judges could tie up a whole country for years because their decision would sometimes take years to overturn. We've overturned many of the decisions, but it would take years to do it.

And we have to act quickly. When it comes to illegal immigration, we have murderers, killers. We have drug dealers. We have what they've allowed to come into our country should never be forgotten. It should never be forgotten what they've done to our country. And we have to be able to act very quickly,

and we're going to do that. Thank you. Just let me call you back, Coney Barrett. Sir, I know that you praised her into our country. And we have to be able to act very quickly, and we're going to do that. Thank you. The Press. Sir, I know that you praised her and her opinion here in this case. She has taken some heat, though, from some of your supporters who have labeled her weak, a squishy, a rattled law professor.

What is your take on that? Do you think? The President. I just have great respect for her. I always have. And her decision was brilliantly written today from all accounts. Yeah.

The Press. Mr. President, what would you say to Americans who fear that this is more and more concentration of power in the White House and the executive power? The President. Well, this is what it brings back to the Constitution. This is what it's all about.

And this is really the opposite of that. I mean, the question is fine, but it's the opposite. The Constitution has been brought back. The Press. The Press. The Press. The Press. The Press.

The Press. The Press. The Press. The Press. The Press. The Press. The Press. The Press.

The Press. The Press. The Press. The Press. The Press. The Press. The Press. The Press.

The Press. The Press. The Press. The Press. The Press. The Press. The Press. I like him. I like him. Let him be so. He's working the cameras. With this new reality President Trump in the border, do you intend to engage personally with leaders from South America, not only Central America, in order to tackle this situation

in a different way? Sure. I do that anyway. And if you have a perspective of meeting some presence from South America, as a result, for example? Well, you see, as an example, not South America, but NATO over the weekend. Yeah. They have great respect for our country now.

They did things that nobody thought was possible. They took funding from 2 percent to 5 percent. Nobody thought they'd ever pay the 2 percent, and now they're paying the 5 percent. It's over a trillion dollars more a year. Think of that, a trillion dollars. Nobody thought that could happen. That's a different group of people, different countries. But we get along with a lot of countries.

We are respected again. Our country, the US, is respected again. Was not respected six months ago. I can... The world is waking up to the power of gold. National banks are scrambling to secure it. According to the World Gold Council, central banks added 1000 tons of gold in 2024, the third straight year of net gold

buying. They understand what many investors don't. Gold is real money. Unlike paper currency, gold's value doesn't disappear with inflation, reckless government spending, or market crashes.

That's noblegoldinvestments.com. The world is turning to gold. Shouldn't you be looking into doing that too? to deal with probably four or five different countries. With the UK, it was a great deal for both. And we're in the process of making some others. But ultimately, in fact, Scott is here. And Howard Lutnick, these two guys, have been doing an incredible job. And the people that work with them have been doing an incredible job.

But, you know, we have 200 countries. You could say 200 countries plus. We can't do that. So at a certain point over the next week and a half or so, or maybe before, we're going to send out a letter. We talked to many of the countries, and we're just going to tell them what they have to pay to do business in the United States.

And it's going to go very quickly. But some of the bigger countries, so India, I think we're going to reach a deal where we have the right to go in and trade. Right now, it's restricted. You can't walk in there. You can't even think about it. We're looking to get a full trade barrier dropping, which is unthinkable.

And I'm not sure that that's going to happen. But as of this moment, we've agreed to that, go into Indian trade. We're going to be trading in China. That's going to come a little bit down the road, but we're going to be trading in China. We have a lot of great things going and we're getting along with countries, but some will be disappointed because they're going to have to pay tariffs. And we've taken in already hundreds of billions of dollars in tariffs. No inflation.

The only problem we have is we have a Fed guy that doesn't understand what's happening. And it would be great if he'd lower the rate because we'd be able to borrow a lot cheaper. Yeah, go ahead, please. Why do we keep it on this subject? This is such a big subject. You know what? Trade is so big, but this, I don't know, in a certain way this might be bigger than trade. I think this is bigger than trade.

Yes, please, go ahead. Go ahead. Sir, on the transgender ruling, the Supreme Court ruling that parents with religious objections can pull their kids out of public school lessons that use LGBTQ materials. Pam brought it up. Your reaction to that ruling today, sir? I think the ruling was a great ruling, and I think it's a great ruling for parents. It's really a ruling for parents. They lost control of the schools. They lost control of their child. And this is a tremendous victory for parents.

And I'm not surprised by it, but I am surprised that it went this far. It took us to bring life back to normal. So it's wonderful. It's parental. And I kept saying, we will give you back your parental rights. They were taken away. And this is a tremendous victory for parents. Yeah.

Mr. President, if you look at the back of the last week, it's been extraordinary in terms of the action in the Middle East, you were at the Hague. I'm wondering now. A week, hasn't it? I'm wondering now if you believe that Iran has given up its long history of ambitions with nuclear weapons, or what you would like to see from them to prove that they do.

And what type of meetings is your administration looking for next week with Iran? So Iran wants to meet. As you know, their sites were obliterated. They're very evil nuclear sites. They were, now has been proven. We had some fake news for a little while. The same people that covered the Hunter Biden laptop was from Russia. The same people that did three or four of the Russia Russia Russia hoax.

But on their end, no, no, wait, wait, just listen. They came up with something that delayed the credit that our great pilots and these great America. I mean, they what talent that was and they hit it right down in the spot. 52,000 feet. Think of this dark, no moon, you couldn't see a thing. And they hit the refrigerator door, as they say. That's the size of a target. And overwhelmingly, and it's amazing what was done. Were the only ones that could have done it.

And we took out the other, two of the other sites also, in addition to that. We finished them off. That was very evil intention. I believe that and again, time will tell, but I don't believe that they're going to go back into nuclear anytime soon. They spent over a trillion dollars on nuclear and they never got it together. And nothing was moved from the site, by the way. To do that is very dangerous.

It's very, very heavy material. Those cars were most likely the cars of masons because they were pouring concrete at the top at the hatch, as you know, the hatch going into the nuclear site. They wanted to reinforce it, and they had some masons there pouring concrete. By the way, that concrete was obliterated. It hit exactly at the concrete. It was, I don't think it had a chance to dry, but everything's down there. It's under millions of tons of rock.

Yes. Your administration has said that El Salvador is one of the safest countries in the hemisphere. So why haven't you yet canceled temporary protective status to that country? Was it part of the deal? Well, we'll take a look. We've had a great relationship with El Salvador. The government has been very supportive of the country. We've had a great relationship with the country. We've had a great relationship with the country. We've had a great relationship with the country. We've had a great relationship with the country. We've had a great relationship with the country.

We've had a great relationship with the country. We've had a great relationship with the country. We've had a great relationship with the country. We've had a great relationship with the country. We've had a great relationship with the country. We've had a great relationship with the country. We've had a great relationship with the country. We've had a great relationship with the country. We've had a great relationship with the country. We've had a great relationship with the country. We've had a great relationship with the country. We've had a great relationship with the country. We've had a great relationship with the country. We've had a great relationship with the hemisphere. So why haven't you yet canceled temporary protective status for that country? Was it part of the deal? Well, we'll take a look. We've had a great relationship with El Salvador.

They have a fantastic leader. They built a massive prison system. And I don't know exactly why, but it's a hell of a system. And we bring people there, and when they go there, they don't get out. And frankly, when they're here, they have to go there go there they become very nice people they become very nice people it's a tough system but it's a brilliant system and it's a system done by a very very good leader we'll talk about El Salvador a lot of respect

as you go into negotiations and talks with Iran, are you demanding not only that there would be no Iranian production inside of Iran, but also that Iran would turn over all existing stockpiles of uranium? Well, you know, we're a little early for that, but something like that, yeah, we'll do something like that. Let me say that I've been saying for 25 years, even as a civilian, you cannot let them have a nuclear weapon. And that's what happened.

It's been obliterated. It would be years before they could ever get going. And I really think it's probably the last thing. They have to recover from a hell of a tough war. Would you also be demanding that the IAEA have full rights to inspect an Iran? Or somebody, yeah. Or somebody that we respect, including ourselves. And a question for both the president

and the attorney general. Under birthright citizenship, if this is implemented, who would be tasked with actually vetting citizenship? And how, like, would this be a situation where you have nurses and doctors checking for citizenship of parents, or? This is all pending litigation. It's going to be decided in October by the Supreme Court, and we'll discuss that after the litigation. If you have an

undocumented baby, would that baby then be an enforcement priority? The violent criminals in our country are the priority. Now let me put it in perspective. Today marked the 2711th arrest in our country of TDA members, just TDA. Everyone in this room agrees they're one of the most violent criminal organizations in the world. And the Biden administration let them walk into our country, walk into our country for the last four years. Two thousand seven hundred and eleven of them today have been arrested in our country. That is the priority of Donald Trump. That is the priority of this country, of Homeland Security, of all of our lawyers, of FBI. That's the priority.

That will be discussed in October when the Supreme Court hopefully rules in our favor. And we're very confident of that. But you should all feel safer now that President Trump can deport all of these, all of these gangs and not one district court judge can think they're an emperor over this administration, his executive powers and why the people of the United States elected him. I just might add one thing. And you know, they used birthright citizenship, some of the worst people, some of the cartels to get people into our country, just so you know.

And again, I say, if you look at the end of the Civil War, the 1800s, it was a very turbulent time. If you take the end day, was it 1869 or whatever, but you take that exact day, that's when the case was filed. And the case ended shortly thereafter. This had to do with the babies of slaves, very, very obviously. And I think we're going to win. People didn't, I don't think they

went about discussing it right. I came along and we looked and we said, wait a minute, this is wrong. We've been looking at birthright citizenship wrong for years. But they've used it. The cartels have used birthright citizenship to get very bad people in and what Pam's doing and what Todd and everybody else What they're doing at DOJ and all over FBI ice Border Patrol these are incredible people They're trying to keep our country safe, and they don't want to have people come in

This is just another way that they get illegal immigrants into our into our country and in some cases very, very bad ones. Go ahead. Thank you, Mr. President. On your tax bill, if I could for a moment, senators are racing to rewrite parts of it right now after the Senate parliamentarian ruled that sections of it were outside of the process that they're using to get this through.

Do you think that senators should respect the decisions of the parliamentarian? And what have you personally done in the last 48 hours to try and get Republican senators who are against the bill to a yes? Well, look, it's a great bill. It's a massive tax cut. If it's not approved, your taxes will go up by 68 percent. Think of that. 68, a record, the highest in the history. The Democrats won't approve it, only because politically it's so good for the Republicans. The Democrats aren't approving it.

But think of what they're not approving. They're not approving border security. We've done a great job at the border, but we have to add some wall. We have to do, you know, various things. We have no money for that. We have no money for the border. We have no money for so many things. But if the Democrats, it would be

interesting to see if we get any Democrat votes. We should. If I were a Democrat, I would absolutely, maybe Federman, because he seems to be the most sensible one lately, if I were a Democrat, I would vote for this bill all day long, because it's tax cuts and so many other things that are common sense. They're basic things.

I think they're doing fine. The parliamentarian has been a little difficult, and I would say that I disagree with the parliamentarian on some things and on other ways he's been fine, but we'll have to see. It's a big issue. I will tell you this. If that bill doesn't pass, the country will get a 68 68% tax increase. So think of this. You're a Democrat and you vote against it. That means you're voting in favor because essentially you're voting in favor of the largest tax hike in the history of our country. And you can't do that. In addition, we're cutting costs by $1.7 trillion, and it won't affect anybody. It's just fraud, waste, and abuse.

Mr. President, a leading global economist just did a 180 and says your tariff plan, you may have outsmarted everybody with it. What is your message? I love this. I love this question. This is the favorite. This is the best question I've ever been asked because I've been going through abuse for years on this because as you know we're taking in hundreds of billions of dollars, no inflation whatsoever. But Mr. President what is your message to critics who think you were a tariff claim that caused a recession? I think they should go back to business school. It's so obvious. It's so obvious. I mean we're taking in billions and billions of dollars from China and a lot of other countries. We took in, I had a call from somebody in the house and

high official, sir we have a problem. We don't know what to do. The books are a mess. I said what I mean by the books, the books, the money, the money coming in it's so terrible. I figured oh boy what's this? I don't like this mess. I said, what I mean by the books, the books, the money, the money coming in. It's so terrible. I figured, oh, boy, what's this? I don't like this question. I said, so what seems there's so much money coming in and there must be some kind of an accounting mistake because we have hundreds of billions of dollars more money than we thought.

I said, do me a favor. Go check the year. Call me back. You have to call me back. Check the tariff column. Calls me back two hours later. Says, you're right. We took in $88 billion in tariffs.

They have so much money coming in. But more important than the money coming in, we have companies coming in, factories coming in, auto plants being built, AI is being built here instead of being built all over Europe and Asia. We have all of it. We have over 15 trillion dollars just about Scott I think we're right about that at that number. We went to Saudi Arabia, we went to Qatar, we went to UAE, very smart people, very smart leaders, great leaders, and we took in

5.1 trillion dollars just there without the tariffs. I mean they also like to think called November 5th, November 6th, and November 7th. That was a very good little period of time. It's called the presidential election. You know, you used to have one day election. Now you have it go over. But even if you just took that little period, because it was pretty obvious it was going to be a landslide. But and they like that. But they love the tariffs. I had Texas Instruments come in the other day, big company, and he said, we're putting in $60 billion into new plants and new equipment, new everything. Sir, you're

going to keep the tariffs, aren't you? Because whoever took the tariffs off, and we are going to absolutely keep it. And they're worried that somebody that, like this communist from New York, someday gets elected. I can't believe that's happening. That's a terrible thing for our country, by the way. He's a communist. We're gonna go to a communistic state. That's so bad for New York. But the rest of the country is revolting against it.

But if somebody got elected, they're afraid that if this was taken off, well, we're gonna guarantee it's never gonna be taken off. And again, we're taking in hundreds, think of this, hundreds of billions of dollars. And they were all confused because they've never seen this before. You know, it's always the other way. We don't have enough money.

So much money is coming in at levels that nobody's ever seen. But most importantly, we have factories being built, car plants being built, companies moving to our country like never before. If you look at $15 trillion — and that's only in a few months, you know, I haven't been here that long. Presidents, like the last one, was a disaster. He's the worst president in the history of our country, by the way.

What he did on our border can never, ever be forgotten. To me, that's the worst of all the things, and he's done some terrible things. Grossly incompetent. Nobody knew it was him, because I don't think it was him. I think it was whoever was controlling the auto pen. But our country is doing great. And those leaders and other leaders,

I just left, as you know, a large group of the most highly respected people. And that includes big countries. When you look at Germany and France and Spain, although Spain didn't come through, but they will. By the way, guaranteed they will. That was the only country that sort of tried to hold back on putting up the money. But just so you know, they said, it's unbelievable what's happened to the USA.

You are a dead country. We didn't respect the country, the leader. You were dead as a doornail. One said to me, you went from being a dead country. You are right now the hottest country anywhere in the world. The whole world is talking about the USA and everybody wants a part of it

and they're pouring into our country and you're gonna see those numbers. Thank you for that question. Private student loan debt in America totals over $300 billion. About $45 billion of that is labeled as distressed. Why ReFi refinances distressed or defaulted private student loans that others will not touch. Why ReFi can reduce your monthly payment and guarantees interest rates under 6% ensuring affordability and financial relief.

Go to whyrefi.com. That is y-r-e-f-y.com. Do you have a co-borrower? Why ReFi can get them released from the loan and you can give mom or dad a break. Just call 888-whyrefi34 that is 888-whyrefi34 and may not be available in all 50 states. Can you imagine being debt free and not living under this burden anymore? We'll go to whyrefi.com that is why refy.com that is why refi.com bad credit is accepted and it do you have a co-borrow or why refi can get them released from the loan that is why refi.com yeah thank you mr. president I have a question about trade secretary

best and has said that he hopes tariff deals with major partners will be done by Labor Day. So if some deals are not done by your July 9th deadline, will some countries' tariffs go back up, or will they stay where they are now? Well, there are some countries that are used to ripping us off, to be honest with you. And I don't want to name them, but you sort of can name them. And they're so used to just, you know, getting, taking billions and billions of —

look, we had a trade deficit of more than a trillion dollars. Think of it — a trillion. A trade deficit. That's because nobody cared. Nobody — we cared a lot when, you know, I took in hundreds of billions of dollars in tariff. We had the greatest economy in history up until now. I think we're going to blow it away. But during my time, and especially prior to COVID, we had the greatest economy in the history of our country. I think we're going to blow it away now, based

on the kind of numbers that we're seeing. But some countries are very angry because they've been ripping us off for years. They've been making billions and billions of dollars. There was nobody to negotiate with. They could do whatever they want. They charge just tariffs, by the way, at numbers that we've never seen before. And we ended up losing much more than a trillion dollars a year. A trillion dollars a year on trade. And now they're being met with a force that's far greater than them,

and they don't like it. So they're upset, because instead of making, you know billion dollars they're gonna break even or they'll make a little bit I want to be nice to make a little bit oh we'll make a little bit it's a big difference yeah please go On the 2020 election is there any more information on the special prosecutor so many Americans still have questions about the 2020 election and speaking of rogue judges Would you consider appointing somebody at DOJ? Maybe to investigate the judges that allowed for the political persecution of you your family and your supporters during the Biden administration I love you. Who are you?

Well, that's just a very nice question. And it's not a setup. I have no idea who you are, but I appreciate that question. All I can say is we're not here for that. I hope so. I hope they're doing a thing because that election was rigged and stolen, and we can't allow that to happen. You know, a lot of people tell me, sir, you just won the greatest election

in the history of our country. You won at numbers that won all seven swing states, won the popular vote, won everything. Uh, sir, go on with your life. And the many people that say that good people, friends of mine, then you have people that say that same thing. Go on with your life. But you have to find out what happened because you can't let that happen again. Look at what this lunatic did. Look at what he did. He opened our borders to people that were murderers. 11,888, to be exact, murderers.

And we've captured many of those murderers, and we're bringing them back. Some of them are so dangerous that we don't even want to bring them back. We're afraid they're going to try and come back in. But he allowed people to come into this country, people from mental institutions, insane asylums. That's a mental institution on steroids. People from mental institutions, gang members, drug dealers, people — oh, jails — being

emptied out into our country. Venezuela emptied out almost its entire prison population into our country. But I don't want to blame them. Many countries have done that. The Congo. You know, we have a great press conference coming up later. And it's the Congo and Rwanda. You know, they were fighting for years. And it was machetes. It was vicious. It was as vicious. People's heads being chopped off. And I have a man who's very good in that part of the world, very smart, and put him together, and we're signing a peace treaty today. First time in many years they're going to have peace.

And it's a big deal. You know, we talk about Russia, and we're going to work, we're working that one. President Putin called up and he said, I'd love to help you with Iran. I said, do me a favor. I'll handle Iran. Help me with Russia. We got to get that one settled. And I think something's going to happen there. But we did some great work.

India and Pakistan, that was going to be maybe nuclear. We did that. We did a lot of work. I don't know if there's ever been a president that's done much more. Serbia, Kosovo, who's going to go at it, going to be a big war. I said, you go at it. There's no trade with the United States. They said, well, maybe we won't go at it. That's what happened with India and Pakistan. I was negotiating with both of them, and I said to Scott, I said to Howard, cancel all deals with India and

Pakistan. They're not trading with us because they're in a war. They called back. What do we do? I said, look, you want to have trade with the United States, it's great. But you want to go and start using nuclear weapons on each other. We're not going to allow that. And they both agreed. Both have great leaders. They both agreed not to do it. So so we did a lot, but I appreciate that question. Thank you so much. Thank you, Mr. President. Thank you, Mr. President. I was just speaking with Senator Ron Johnson on the one big beautiful bill and he says he really wants to get to

yes for you and get this accomplished. He does. He's a good man. But he also said that he needs more time, and he is not certain that the July 4th deadline is possible. Well, then he's not such a good man. Because there's too much work to do. He's a good man. Ron Johnson's doing a good job.

He's very committed. Every Republican senator is committed. And you know, you could have a couple of grand standards, in all fairness. You could have somebody else. And it's very dangerous, because our country would go from being the most successful country in the world to who knows what happens with a 68 percent, think of it, 68 percent tax increase. That was given by the Democrats because they like high taxes. I don't know what happened. You know, all my life I'd grow

up and I'd watch politicians talking. I'd say, oh, that's fun. And they were always saying we will cut your taxes. We will cut your taxes. I never heard it. They say, we will raise your taxes. And they elect people like this guy in New York that maybe has a chance. I find it hard to believe, but he maybe has a chance.

They want to raise your taxes. So they want to see a 68% tax increase. That's more money than anybody could afford. You'd go into a depression if that ever happened. So I think there's a lot of pressure to get that approved. How important is the July 4th deadline to you? It's important. It's not the end of it. We can go longer, but we'd like to get it done by that time, if possible. And look, we have a lot of very committed people, and they feel very strongly

about a subject, subjects that you're not even thinking about that are important to Republicans. The problem we have is that it's a great bill. It's a popular bill, but we'll get no Democrats only because they don't want to vote for Trump. If they, if that bill was their bill, oh, they would be so happy. It's so great for our military. It's great for everything. And they would normally vote, but because they're hatred of Trump, they have Trump derangement syndrome at levels

never seen before. And instead of voting for a tax cut, they're voting for a tax increase of 68 percent. They're voting to destroy Social Security, destroy Medicare, and destroy Medicaid. And we're voting to make Social Security, destroy Medicare, and destroy Medicaid. And we're voting to make them perfect and to make them better, make them stronger and better. They're going to destroy Medicaid and they're going to destroy Medicare.

And Social Security will follow. If you vote for the Democrats, you're dead on those three things. Thank you, Mr. President. On a related subject, many Democrats have said that they are not going to support crypto bills in Congress only because of you and your family's personal crypto ventures. And these votes are in some cases needed to pass. Are you open to the idea of pulling away from your personal crypto ventures just for the next few years if that helps get these crypto bills passed in the next few months?

Well, it's a very funny thing, crypto. So I became a fan of crypto, and to me it's an industry. I view it as an industry, and I'm president. And if we didn't have it, China would or somebody else would, but most likely China. China would love to. And we've dominated that industry. It's a big industry, by the way. In fact, when the stock market went down recently, crypto and Bitcoin and all of that went down

much less than anybody else as a group. And we've created a very powerful industry, and that's much more important than anything that we invest in. We invest in it, but really that was an industry that wasn't doing particularly well. I got involved with it a couple of years ago, and before this whole, before the second term, I got involved before I decided to run. I only decided to run because I saw what was happening, and Biden was incompetent,

and the administration was crooked and incompetent. And I was in Bitcoin then, not knowing if I was gonna do it a third time. So it's become amazing. I mean, it's the jobs that are produces. And I noticed more and more you're paying Bitcoin. I mean, people are saying it takes a lot of pressure off the dollar, and it's a great thing for our country. So I don't care about investing. You know, I have my I have

kids and they invest in different things. They do believe in it, but I'm president. And what I did do there is build an industry that's very important. And you know, if we didn't have a China wood, okay. Sir, Mr. President, I just want to be honest. With the glasses, gentlemen. Go ahead, please. Go ahead. Thank you, Mr. President.

So are you going to cut funds in the sanctuary states, like, for instance, California, that keep supporting illegal immigration and then these people work under the table? Yeah, we're giving them a hard time. And also, in a foreign policy question- They don't have a governor in California. They have a man that wants to give away everything to people that nobody's seen before.

If we didn't go into Los Angeles with the military, which did a fantastic job, but if we didn't go into Los Angeles bringing in the National Guard, I would have brought the military if it was necessary, because you have to. We have the right to. That was another thing upheld by the Supreme Court. But if we didn't go in with the National Guard and be strong and tough, you wouldn't maybe have Los Angeles.

It would be like the rest of California, the rest of Los Angeles. They lost 25,000 houses in a fire. They should have lost none. You know, I sent the water down. I had to break into their water supply because they just refused to do it. They're crazy. There's something wrong with them. They have plenty of water. They don't have droughts or anything. They have plenty. We let it come down from the Pacific Northwest. They routed all the water out into the Pacific Ocean for environmental reasons, okay?

And now you have 25,000 houses, none of which would have burned down if you had the water. They didn't have water. They didn't have water for the fire pumps. They didn't have water in the sprinkler systems that people put in. So the answer is we're going to work with governors. We're going to work with radical left Democrats and Democrats. And we're going to make it good for everybody. We'll have to stop the crime in those.

Or in the case of the cities, I think I can say just about all cities with heavy crime are run by Democrats. Go ahead. Yeah, with the glasses. Go ahead. Yes. Yeah, no, no. The man behind you.

Yeah, please. President Trump, Anthony Meshach from Lebanon. I want to ask you regarding the situation in the Middle East. The Press part of Iran's allies. Is there any timeframe in Lebanon regarding disarming Hezbollah in Lebanon? Yeah. Lebanon is a great place with brilliant people. You know, it was known for the professors and doctors and had an incredible history.

And hopefully we can bring it back again. I just appointed a friend of mine who's Lebanese, and I didn't know he was Lebanese. I've known him for 20 years. Very, very successful man. And I just't know he was Lebanese. I've known him for 20 years. Very, very successful man. And I just appointed him. And I said, why would you want that? He said, because I was born there, I was raised there.

I love it. I love it so much. I said, you know, it's very dangerous going to Lebanon as ambassador. And he said, that's what they say, but I don't care about danger. I mean, this is a guy that is just a very big business guy. Wants to give up his whole life to go to Lebanon

because he believes in it so much. We're with Lebanon all the way. We'll try and straighten it out. The Press. Threaten my life? Yeah, they have threatened. I get that throbbing feeling every once in a while. Get that throbbing feeling. But you know what? That's okay. This is a dangerous business. What I do is a dangerous business.

You know, I tell the story of the car companies and different people in different professions. You have race car drivers as an example. One-tenth of one percent die. Bull riders, one-tenth of one percent. That's not a lot, but it's people die. When you're president, it's about five percent. If somebody would have told me that, maybe I wouldn't have run. Okay? This is a very dangerous profession. Yeah, please.

Should, by the way, so many questions. Should we keep this going, Pamela? This is the opposite of Biden. Biden would take a half a question and he'd leave without answering it. Go ahead. On Iran. You tell me when it gets boring. Okay.

On Iran. If Iran. Are you from Iran? No, I'm not from Iran. I'm from the UK. But if the intelligence reports conclude that Iran can enrich uranium to a level that concerns you, would you consider bombing the country again? Sure. Without question, absolutely.

And have you had any conversations — It has to be unbelievable. But, you know, our incredible flyers and our, I call them the shots. These guys are unbelievable. Think from 52,000 feet, they hit the equivalent of a refrigerator door. They actually hit it right in the center, so it's much

smaller than that. And just bomb after bomb going deeper, deeper, blowing up. Incredible, incredible thing. I don't know if you heard the General. He was very impressive. Incredible, incredible thing. I don't know if you heard the General. He was very impressive. Raisin Cain. You know, he's the one that beat ISIS for me.

And he did it in a matter of weeks. And I was told it was going to take four or five years. And when I got this job, I always said, if I get this job, I'm going to put that guy as the head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and Dan Cain. And he, when I heard his name was Raisin, his nickname is Raisin, Raisin Cain. I said, you've got to be kidding.

So I liked him right from the beginning, but he knocked out ISIS in a time that nobody ever thought possible. And when this attack was completed and so successful, I said, now I know how you knocked out ISIS so quickly. But we have the best people, we have the best equipment in the world. And I rebuilt the military during my four years, during my other term. We have the best equipment in the world. And I rebuilt the military during my four years, during my other term. We have the best equipment in the world. The problem is we gave away, you know, a lot of it, but small relatively speaking.

We gave a lot of it away to Afghanistan, shouldn't have happened. That just shows how incompetent they were. They gave all that equipment away, billions and billions of dollars worth, shouldn't have happened. But that was small compared to what we have. Now we have a great great military with great people. OK. You know, one of the biggest lies being sold to American people right now is that you're in control of your money, especially when it comes to crypto.

But the truth, most of these so-called crypto platforms are just banks in disguise, fully capable of freezing your assets. The moment some bureaucrat makes a phone call. That is not what Bitcoin was built for. That's why I use Bitcoin.com. I just did a major transaction on it. They offer a self-custodial wallet which means you hold the keys. You control your assets. No one can touch your crypto, not the IRS or not a rogue bank, not some three-letter agency that thinks it knows better than you do. This is how it was intended by the original creators of Bitcoin, peer to

peer money, free from centralized control, free from surveillance and free from arbitrary seizure. So if you're serious about financial sovereignty, go to bitcoin.com, set up your wallet, take back control, because if you don't hold the keys, you don't own your money, bitcoin.com freedom starts here. Because if you don't hold the keys, you don't own your money. Bitcoin.com freedom starts here. Mr. President, congratulations. A couple of very different questions.

One is Rwanda in 1994 as you grew up in New York. We all knew how horrific those attacks were. Congratulations on that treaty. There are talks that perhaps... That's going to take place today at 3 o'clock in the Oval Office. We're going to have a signing with Rwanda and the Congo. So I'm a little out of my league in that one because I didn't know too much about it.

I knew one thing. They were going at it for many years. And with machetes, it is one of the worst, one of the worst wars that anyone's ever seen. And I just happened to have somebody that was able to get it settled. I mean, just a brilliant person who is very comfortable in that part of the world. It's a very dangerous part of the world.

They said, are you uncomfortable there? People are being killed, school children are being raided and killed. And I don't even want to say how, but as viciously as I've ever heard, are you uncomfortable? No, that's the part of the world that I know. Very comfortable. Was able to get them together and sell it. And not only that, we're getting for the United States

a lot of the mineral rights from the Congo as part of it. They're so honored to be here. They never thought they'd be coming to it. Look, this is a very tough part of the world. They never thought, they were just telling me, they never thought they'd ever be coming to the White House. And they're so honored. And so we're going to give them a great big reception.

But that's after many years of fighting. It's a great thing. That's at 3 o'clock, I believe. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Sir, are you concerned at all about secret nuclear sites in Iran?

You talk about maybe just... Secret nuclear sites? Yes, there might be some that's not. Not really. Can I tell you? They're exhausted. And I tell you, they're exhausted. And Israel's exhausted too. And I dealt with both of them.

And they both wanted it settled, both of them. And we did a great job, but they're exhausted. The last thing they're thinking about right now is nuclear. You know what they're thinking about? They're thinking about tomorrow, trying to live in such a mess. It's such a mess. It's such a mess. The place was bombed to hell. And, no, I'm not worried about it at all. And I'm putting out a little statement.

I'm going to respond to the Ayatollah's statement yesterday that we won the war. Oh, God. We won the war. And I said, look, you're a man of great faith, man who's highly respected in this country. You have to tell the truth. You got beat to hell. And Israel was beat up, too.

They were both beat up. And it was a great time to end it. It was quick. They got the hate out. There was a lot of hate. A lot of hate. It would be great if they didn't have that hate. But the last thing they're thinking about is nuclear weapons right now. Please.

Thank you, Mr. President. Iris Howe with NTD Research to Media with the Al-Pak Times. Thank you so much for doing this. It's very refreshing for all of us here to live in this room. So, for — Very refreshing. Yes. We haven't had this in, you know, for the, we have. I understand what you mean.

Thank you so much for coming out here. Other than Caroline's done a great job. Yes, you're referring to the past administration, not to Caroline. Yes. Back to the ruling today, if you don't mind. So you have always talked about winning for the American people. How do you think today's ruling will enable you to further deliver for American families and workers across the country? Not only when it comes to immigration, but also when it comes to trade, energy, what actions are most eager to move forward? Well, I think taking power away from these absolutely crazy radical left judges is a tremendous... This is such a big day. This is such a big day. It's like...

This is such a big day. This is such a big day. It's like, it's sort of sad because we're doing the signing at 3 o'clock. And this may very well dominate the signing of a big war that was going on and really affecting the continent of, think of it, the entire continent of Africa was being affected. And we're settling that war today.

And this will probably be a headline. But this is a very big moment. And it gives power back to people that should have it, including Congress, including the presidency. And it only takes bad power away from judges. It really doesn't take power. It takes bad power, sick power, and unfair power. And it's really going to be a very monumental decision. Yeah, please.

On July 9th, is that July 9th date a set for tariffs to snap back or could there be a... We can do whatever we want. We could extend it. We could make it shorter. I'd like to make it shorter. I'd like to just send letters out to everybody. Congratulations you're paying 25%. He doesn't want... to everybody. Congratulations, you're paying 25 percent. He's a much nicer person than

I am. So, how do you finish it up? Who are you considering for the Federal Reserve then? And are you speeding up that process? I see Secretary... Oh, he's terrible. He's terrible. I mean, I have a list of things. We're like 38 on the list. We pay, you know, Cameroon and different places are paying the same as us. Because, you know, you have somebody sets a rate at 4 percent

or 4.5 percent, it's hard to go out and say, we should be paying 1 percent when you have your so-called experts doing that. And the sad part is, you know, as per the question that you asked about tariffs, we've had the tariffs and we have less inflation than we had before. What we have is a hell of a lot more money, a hell of a lot more income, and we shouldn't be paying a rate like that. In other words, when we pay a rate, I'll tell you, each point is the equivalent of $300

billion. So if we had it down three points, because I think we should be at one, you have Switzerland is at.25, in other words, 25 percent of 1 percent. And they're the number one right now. But we should be the number one. And soon you're going to have, I believe, I think you're going to have where the people will pay the, you know, will pay like we had a few years ago, where you put up money, you loan money. And I mean, you know, we'll pay like we had a few years ago where you put up money, you loan money, and I mean you actually instead of paying you get paid. I love that.

I don't know if it's any good, but I love it when you put up money and you get paid. But we should be in a category. So we should be at the top of the list, not toward the bottom of the list. But we have a man who's not a smart man, and he probably has Trumped Arrangement Syndrome, and he's just not a smart person. What he's doing though, he's hurting us for years to come, because if we borrow money at two points higher than we should be paying, that's $600 billion. Wouldn't you say those numbers are about rights, Scott? So it's two points would be about $, actually more than that, but about 600 million dollars, all because the guy doesn't wanna lower the rates.

He's doing the service, a very, and then he goes up and talks about, I'd like to see costs come down. You know, he gets up and he does this little thing for five minutes, then he goes out and he goes back to the beach. He goes, I'd like to see costs come down. Well, he could lower the interest cost

by 900 billion billion a year. All he has to do is lower rates. And everybody's saying, I was watching some of the business shows today, and they're saying, you know, Trump's right. He should really be cutting. The country's doing well. We have no inflation. Now despite him, we're doing great.

But if we got the rates down, we would be a rocket ship. So I think that'll be it. And I just want to thank everybody. This is a really big day. We've had a big week. You know, we've had a big week. We've had a lot of victories this week. NATO was a tremendous victory.

The war was a tremendous. Look, we were talking about this for 30 years, about Iran being nuclear. And all I said is, it will not be nuclear, and all I said is it will not be nuclear and it's not going to be nuclear. And you know, I want to give credit to a lot of people, most importantly to our great military. Boy, they put out that fire. Once that happened, once those bombs got dropped, that war was over.

That war was over. But I just want to compliment them. Incredible. The general and all of his generals, Pete Hegseth was great. They were, and now I want to compliment Pam. A lot of genius went into this. You know, people, if you don't say it exactly right, if the Supreme Court doesn't get it because it's incorrectly spoken about, and that happens. A lot of cases are lost because they don't, they don't say the right words, but I want to correct. She's gonna go down as a great attorney general. I may change my mind about that. I don't know. Maybe someday

I'll set cause I was only getting she's gonna go down as a great attorney general. This was a tremendous win and we've had tremendous wins, but this was a tremendous win today. So I just want to congratulate you and Todd and your whole staff, very brilliant people. And we can't forget John Sauer, who is with, there's a medical emergency within his family, so he's taking care of that. And we said absolutely. So I just want to thank everybody very much. Thank you. Okay everybody, that, by the way, President Donald Trump was a 10 in that

press conference. Watching him for over a decade, he was in total control. He was calm. He was collected. He was focused. He was intense where necessary. And one of my favorite moments, we have to replay this. I think we have the tape. It's 568 where he says, you want to keep going?

President Donald Trump is a man for the moment. And it is a huge contrast versus Trump won. Trump won as he says he was the hunted now he is the hunter. He was constantly under attack in Trump won. He had Jim Acosta trying to get clicks. See how much better that briefing room is now that we got Acosta out of there? I think he's out of there. And you get a couple of friendlies in the room and President Trump, he has such poise and stoicism and just command of the audience. Let's play cut 568.

The question, should we keep this going? This is the opposite of Biden. Biden would take a half a question and he'd leave without answering it. You tell me when it gets boring. President Donald Trump was there for over an hour and he was funny. He said, you know, 5% of presidents get killed and you got bull riders and you got people that it's 0.01%. He enjoys being president.

And that is such a difference than what we saw in Trump 1. I'm sure he enjoyed being president in Trump 1, but he was so relentlessly under attack. And we thought the world was falling apart when we did not hold onto the White House in Trump 1. And now it is, it's remarkable what we're seeing. Thanks so much for listening, everybody.
