  Speaker 1: The chip business, and not because of the chipsacked, which
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: was a disaster. You gave billions of dollars to companies
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: that already have many billions of dollars that just they said,
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: thank you very much.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: It was no incentive for them to use it.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: But what is good is the tariffs will make it
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: so that they want to come back.
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: That's why they're coming back. I think they're coming.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: Back because of the election that took place on November fifth,
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: and because of the fact that they have to come
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: back because the tariffs are forcing them to come back.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: And remember there are no tariffs if you build here,
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: and that's a big factor. So we have record numbers.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: Howard was just telling me. The numbers that we're talking
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: about are crazy, beyond anybody's wildest expectation. So they'll be
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: doing a lot of building all sorts of businesses, including the.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: Basics of automobiles.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: As you know, Indiana's Honda's coming in with a massive
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: plant to Indiana.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: But there are many plans that.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: Are happening, and literally summer started already. General Motors is
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: already redoing plants that were half abandoned or they have
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: plants that weren't being fully utilized.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: They're going to be they and others.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: They're going to be making parts and other things in
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: those plants so that it's one stop shopping. Finally, it's ridiculous.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: You had to go to Mexico, you had to go
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: to Canada. A car went all over the place. It
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: was like, I don't know how that would have worked,
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: but that's the way it sort of ended up. We
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: had a deal, and we have a deal. It's fine,
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: but people took advantage of the deal. They cheated, and
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: when you cheat, the deals are unfortunate. But now what's
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: happening is the numbers are beyond our wildest expectations.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: Now having to do.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: With cutting, we've done a lot of cutting, a lot
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: of cutting from people, ideally the people that aren't doing
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: the job. In many cases, people weren't attending jobs in
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: some cases, in many cases people didn't just they had
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: on the government roles people that don't even exist.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: But of the ones that did exist, as.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: You know, many didn't come to work, many had no
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: intention of coming to work. Many were paid and working
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: someplace else. There were lots of band scenarios, but they're
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: being weeded out, and I think we're probably ahead of
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: schedule on that. And to me, something that was just
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: terrible is the contracts that were finding, the fraudulent contracts
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: that we're finding where and millions and millions of dollars
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: and even millions of dollars in some cases were given out.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: And well, I think we'll start with that.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: I'd like to start with Doug Bergam, Secretary of the Interior.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: He told us about a couple of contracts that we
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: have now found. When he got there, they saw this
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: with Chris and everybody, and they.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: Couldn't believe it. Doug, could you just feel it? Would
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: you told us a little while happened to just President.
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: There was a Federal Consulting Group, which was a group
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: inside of INTO, but it was managing contracts from many
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: different agencies that flowed through here. One of those contracts
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: was to do surveys of individuals eight hundred and thirty
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: million dollars for surveys, and so part of the question was, hey,
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: could we actually see the surveys? And then the surveys
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: came back and was a survey was like eight and
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: a half by eleven sheet of paper with ten questions
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: that anyone's you know, child in Junior High could have
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: put together or AI could have done for free eight
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: hundred and thirty million dollars.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: So that's one one that we've stopped.
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: And that contract was going out after you were inaugurated, sir,
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: So it was.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: Jumping a fraud. It's a fraud.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: We've had many fraudulent contracts that were caught by the
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: work that Elon and his people are doing and working
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: with our people. It's been brought to light the fraud
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: that just wasted abuse. The fraud has been incredible. You
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: mentioned one man, Well, yes, sir, let.
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: Me just add to that and thank you. We just
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: had a wonderful cabinet meeting, all aligned on certainly the
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: effort to realign the government. But even at the US
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: Department of Agriculture, we've canceled three hundred thousand dollars contract
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: educating on food justice for queer and transgender farmers in
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: San Francisco. A similar contract we canceled in New York
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: again educating transgender and queer farmers on food justice and
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: food equality. I'm not even sure what that means, but
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: apparently the last administration wanted to put our taxpayer.
• 4:31
  Speaker 5: Dollars towards that.
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: We canceled a six hundred thousand dollars contract in out
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: of Louisiana that was studying the menstrual cycles of transgender men,
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: a six hundred thousand dollars contract. We canceled another contract
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: out of a university in the middle of the country
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: that focused on getting more diversity, equity, and inclusion into
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: our pest management industry. Again, these are nonsensical. It makes
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: zero sense to use taxpayer dollars to fund these. I know,
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: these are just a few exams amples of the hundreds
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: and hundreds that we have found.
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: In a case of Forward was with a small business
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: administration where they were hanging out loans at three hundred
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: and thirty million dollars worth of loans to people under
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: the age of eleven.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: I think the youngest Kelly was a nine month year old.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: You've got one hundred thousand all alone. That's a very
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: precocious baby you were talking about.
• 5:19
  Speaker 6: Here, we're tackling the fraud, waste and.
• 5:26
  Speaker 7: Abuse in the agency.
• 5:27
  Speaker 8: We've seen, you know, hundreds of millions of dollars of
• 5:31
  Speaker 8: fraud go unprosecuted, So we're getting that on.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: We have a zero.
• 5:34
  Speaker 5: Tolerance policy for fraud, and we.
• 5:36
  Speaker 9: Continue to crack down on it and make sure people
• 5:39
  Speaker 9: are held accountable.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: And you have a lot of that. We've found far
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: too much of it. It's a pure fraud.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: We like to use the words waste and abuse because
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: they make they sort of sound good, but many of
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: these things are pure fraud. Now, there was a contract
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: that you've heard about where Stacy Abrams got two billion
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: dollars just before we took over, and it was a
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: rush together the money, and that was environmental and nobody
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: knows what she was doing. But if you got two million,
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: that's a lot. If you got two hundred thousand, that's
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: a lot. But this was two billion dollars was given
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: Leadya wanted to talk about that.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: And the other one that was even worse. EPA is
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: now canceled.
• 6:24
  Speaker 10: Over twenty two billion dollars worth of contracts, two billion
• 6:27
  Speaker 10: dollars going to this NGO that Stacy Abrams was tied to.
• 6:33
  Speaker 10: They received only one hundred dollars in twenty twenty three,
• 6:36
  Speaker 10: and then the Biden administration gave them two billion dollars.
• 6:39
  Speaker 10: The director of the Greenhouse Cancer Reduction Fund saw his
• 6:44
  Speaker 10: former employer get.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: Five billion dollars.
• 6:46
  Speaker 10: So twenty billion dollars went to just eight NGOs and
• 6:49
  Speaker 10: they're all passed throughs, and then they were giving it
• 6:52
  Speaker 10: to other entities, many of them were passed throughs. And
• 6:54
  Speaker 10: what you have is all these extra middlemen they're taking
• 6:57
  Speaker 10: their cut and the tax.
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: Payos of getting crewed. They're losing out on all this
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: hard earned money. They can't afford to have the federal
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: government waste.
• 7:06
  Speaker 10: The partnership with those and Elon Musk has been incredible EPA.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: Their team is very talented. We wouldn't have been able
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: to do it without them.
• 7:16
  Speaker 10: And of course this mandate from President Trump to make
• 7:19
  Speaker 10: sure that we identify every last penny, whether we're saving
• 7:22
  Speaker 10: fifty thousand dollars, five million dollars, we're twenty two billion dollars,
• 7:26
  Speaker 10: we will not rest until every last penny is saved.
• 7:29
  Speaker 10: Thank you, mister President, for the opportunity to do this
• 7:32
  Speaker 10: for the American public.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: Thank you a great jov you do. So we have
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: a lot of that.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: We're getting down to a point we think probably over
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: the next two or three months, will be pretty much
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: satisfied with the people that are working hard and want
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: to be members of the administration and our country really
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: and they're doing a lot of good people.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: We have a lot of great people. We want to
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: keep the band.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: We want to keep the good ones, and we want
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: to get rid of the ones that don't exist, and
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: we want to get rid of the ones that do
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: exist but don't work, and we have quite a few
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: of them. Would anybody else like to say something before
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: we take some questions from the press way, Doug Collins,
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: I think.
• 8:13
  Speaker 11: One of the things that you've always told me is
• 8:14
  Speaker 11: fit here in our reference and that's what we're doing
• 8:16
  Speaker 11: for THEA. And one of the things those you also
• 8:18
  Speaker 11: have to know who your and boys are. You have
• 8:20
  Speaker 11: to know the very facts who you are. Were four
• 8:22
  Speaker 11: hundred and seventy thousand roughly when we started this, larger
• 8:25
  Speaker 11: than the active Touty Army when you think about that
• 8:27
  Speaker 11: in the perspective. But however, this is an interesting point.
• 8:30
  Speaker 11: When I first got there and we started looking at
• 8:31
  Speaker 11: this how you take care of people, we didn't have
• 8:34
  Speaker 11: an HR system that could actually give us a rundown
• 8:36
  Speaker 11: who actually was working where that we've had to work
• 8:38
  Speaker 11: with that, working with our BA and boys, who are
• 8:41
  Speaker 11: those liaisons, we've been able to put together an organizational chart,
• 8:44
  Speaker 11: which we can start looking at that. But the interesting
• 8:46
  Speaker 11: part about it is about to take care of veterans,
• 8:48
  Speaker 11: and what you've told me to do is how do
• 8:50
  Speaker 11: we get the people in the right places. And I
• 8:52
  Speaker 11: think when we look at this, GAO has told us
• 8:54
  Speaker 11: we were high risk for years. The previous administration put
• 8:57
  Speaker 11: literally tens of billions of dollars and tens one thousand
• 9:00
  Speaker 11: employees over the last four years, and we saw our
• 9:03
  Speaker 11: statistics basically go stay the same or go down backlogs
• 9:06
  Speaker 11: when a you know, maybe the question is not money
• 9:08
  Speaker 11: and employees anymore. Maybe it's the organization and how we
• 9:11
  Speaker 11: affectively deliver for the American people.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: That's what we're going to do well.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: And you know, one thing I when I add to it,
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: it is not necessarily a very popular thing to do.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: You know, you're talking about employement, you're talking about people
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: and the lives of people. And yet I think the
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: American public understands we're trying to save our country and
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: make our country great again. I mean, you could say it,
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: but we're trying to save our country from this extraordinary
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: thing that was happening, what they were doing to our country.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: Is just a horrible thing, and I have no idea
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: how it plays out in the public. I have I
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: guess you see poll numbers that are very good numbers,
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: but I don't know what that means long term. But
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: it's something that has to be done. If we don't
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: do it, we're not going to have much of a
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: country left. So we have to do it. So we're
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: doing things that I think a lot of presidents wouldn't
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: be inclined to do.
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: But we're doing it too.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: Really, you know, I don't want to use cliche. I
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: don't want to say we're doing it to make America
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: great again, because I say that on the campaign trail,
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: but there's really no other words I could express it
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: better than that.
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: It's we're doing.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: It to help our country. And our country was riddled
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: with fat like no country probably anywhere in the world.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: And we're getting rid of the fat. And at the
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: same time we're bringing in we're going to be bringing
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: in millions of very good, high paying jobs, and we're
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: going to be taking in a lot of money. Our
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: country's going to be very strong. We've been ripped off
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: by every country in the world, friend and foe. We
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: were taking advantage of like nobody's ever seen. And you
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: saw what happened today with Venezuela. We did something with
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: Venezuela which is long in the making and it's very substantial.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: And we'll be announcing cars very shortly. And we already
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: announced steel, as you know, and aluminum. Will be announcing
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: pharmaceuticals at some point and they're not too just because
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: we have to have pharmaceuticals.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: We don't make pharmaceuticals anymore in our country, and if
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: we have.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: Problems like wars or anything else, we need steel, we
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: need pharmaceuticals, we need aluminum, we need a lot of
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: these things that we sort of don't make it anymore,
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: and yet we're equipped to do it all. So we'll
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: be announcing some of these things in the very near future,
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: not the long future, the very near future.
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: And it'll bring it.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: It'll bring in billions of dollars billions and billions, and
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: it'll bring in maybe more importantly, jobs, it'll protect the
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: jobs we have, and it's going to be really, really
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: quite amazing. Chris, did you have something to say.
• 11:48
  Speaker 12: Yes, mister President, I want to say, energy is the
• 11:51
  Speaker 12: infrastructure that makes our country run and drives our national security.
• 11:55
  Speaker 12: That Biden administration grew my department, the Department of Energy,
• 11:59
  Speaker 12: by twenty percent and expenditure much more than that, all
• 12:03
  Speaker 12: in an effort to reduce the production of energy in
• 12:06
  Speaker 12: the United States and to make energy more expensive. We
• 12:10
  Speaker 12: are stewards of the American taxpayer dollars, right, That's the
• 12:13
  Speaker 12: job of everyone around this table, led by you. We
• 12:17
  Speaker 12: want to reverse that trajectory and care about every dollar
• 12:20
  Speaker 12: an American taxpayer gives us and are we using it
• 12:23
  Speaker 12: for the benefit of Americans. Let me tell you one thing,
• 12:25
  Speaker 12: huge growth in expenditures, huge growth in employee count Puerto Rico,
• 12:29
  Speaker 12: in American Territory, had its electricity grid destroyed. They had
• 12:34
  Speaker 12: billions of dollars in the Department of Energy to help
• 12:36
  Speaker 12: Puerto Rico.
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: Yet they didn't spend that money because.
• 12:40
  Speaker 12: That money would have meant more energy, more jobs, more
• 12:44
  Speaker 12: prosperity in Puerto Rico. They wanted to have them as
• 12:47
  Speaker 12: a poster child of wind and solar. This island should
• 12:50
  Speaker 12: run on winded solar. That just doesn't work. But they
• 12:53
  Speaker 12: cared about politics more than the American people, and they
• 12:56
  Speaker 12: didn't treat the dollars like they were their dollars.
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: This take the team you have assembled.
• 13:01
  Speaker 12: We're treating the American dollars like they're our dollars.
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: Thank you.
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: You're doing a great job on energy.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: By the way, we have things happening with energy that
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: will knock your socks off. A really amazing, amazing job.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: How would you want to say a couple of words.
• 13:16
  Speaker 13: Well, what is so exciting is April second, It's just
• 13:20
  Speaker 13: around the corner, and that's American Liberation Day. That's the
• 13:25
  Speaker 13: day when the rest of the world starts to treat
• 13:28
  Speaker 13: America with respect, and your leadership understanding how the rest
• 13:33
  Speaker 13: of the world treats us and what balance and what
• 13:36
  Speaker 13: fair trade finally is going to be, is going to
• 13:38
  Speaker 13: take care of America. It's going to launch the external
• 13:41
  Speaker 13: Revenue Service to start to build the power and prestige
• 13:46
  Speaker 13: of America back.
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: And I'm honored to be helping you on that course.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: It's an interesting term, right, the external revenue Service. We're
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: going to take in a lot of money from the
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: outside and that's going to keep our taxes low and
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: I think getting a lot lower. It's going to be
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: a lot of money in that world. The external will
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: take care of the internal to a large extent.
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: So I think it's going to be a beautiful transformation.
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: Lindy, you might say a couple of words, You've done
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: so amazing.
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: It's a fifty percent cut.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: And more importantly, we want to bring education into the States,
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: where at the bottom of the pack, but we're the
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: most expensive per pupil.
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: And we want to bring.
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: Education back to the States where they can teach the
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: students lovingly, with their parents and with the boards and
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: everything else, and they'll be every bit as good as
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: these other countries. These states, these individual states will do
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: a phenomenal job.
• 14:39
  Speaker 8: I want to say something, yes, sir, and if we
• 14:42
  Speaker 8: think about education, if we don't address the issues in
• 14:45
  Speaker 8: education now and start getting our scores up, where are
• 14:48
  Speaker 8: we going to find our next generation generation?
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: After that?
• 14:51
  Speaker 14: We're our engineers, our doctors, our lawyers, are scientists, are
• 14:54
  Speaker 14: are AI and technical experts going to come from We
• 14:58
  Speaker 14: will go farther and farther down with everything else we're
• 15:01
  Speaker 14: doing within our country, building, manufacturing, bringing all of that back.
• 15:06
  Speaker 14: If we don't educate and the best way we can,
• 15:09
  Speaker 14: we will be lost and those.
• 15:11
  Speaker 5: Generations will be lost.
• 15:12
  Speaker 14: It is I think the cornerstone of our culture and
• 15:15
  Speaker 14: what we need to focus on. And so by having
• 15:19
  Speaker 14: education at the best place where it can be, which
• 15:21
  Speaker 14: is at the states, the local levels, with governors, with
• 15:24
  Speaker 14: best practices and tools which I hope Department of Education
• 15:28
  Speaker 14: can help supply for them.
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: We'll do it.
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: And Linda's you know, the SBA has taken over her
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: student loans, which is a lot of loans.
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: It's a big job.
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: And Kelly, we appreciate that you're going to do fantastically well.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: And Bobby is going to be taken over there various
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: medical aspects and health aspects of the educational process, and
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: he's going.
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: To do a fantastic job of it. So thank you,
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: Mattank You're just a president.
• 15:55
  Speaker 7: I'll just say that.
• 15:57
  Speaker 15: I'm very grateful to you and very grateful of the
• 16:00
  Speaker 15: partnership with Osian, with the ELON. We've identified extraordinary waste
• 16:05
  Speaker 15: in my department and HHS. The expenditures the budget of
• 16:10
  Speaker 15: HHS during the administration went up by thirty eight percent,
• 16:15
  Speaker 15: the employees went up by seventeen percent, and healthcare went down.
• 16:20
  Speaker 15: We have forty comms departments, we have forty procurement departments,
• 16:25
  Speaker 15: we have forty I departments, and we have forty procurement HR.
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: None of them talking to each other.
• 16:36
  Speaker 15: We are with Elons Health eliminating the redundancies.
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: We are streamlining our department.
• 16:43
  Speaker 7: We're going to go back to providing gold standard science.
• 16:46
  Speaker 15: We're going to get the money to the sciences and
• 16:48
  Speaker 15: to the patients rather than to the administrators and.
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: To the bureaucrats.
• 16:52
  Speaker 15: And we're going to restore gold standards science and we're
• 16:56
  Speaker 15: going to make America healthy again.
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: Thank you very much, if you might, Madam Secretary, say
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: a little bit about what's happening and how well we've
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: done to the border, Sir.
• 17:07
  Speaker 6: This last week I was in Arizona, California, Alaska, and Florida,
• 17:13
  Speaker 6: and CBP literally has almost one hundred percent operational control
• 17:18
  Speaker 6: of the border, which means that our country is secure
• 17:21
  Speaker 6: and that we know who's coming into this country and
• 17:23
  Speaker 6: that they love our country and they want to.
• 17:25
  Speaker 5: Help keep it great into the future. We are in
• 17:29
  Speaker 5: the month of March.
• 17:30
  Speaker 6: The last couple of weeks increased our deportations by fifty percent,
• 17:34
  Speaker 6: so we're now not even just getting the worst of
• 17:38
  Speaker 6: the worst out. We're making sure that there's consequences for
• 17:40
  Speaker 6: being here in committing crimes in our communities and where
• 17:43
  Speaker 6: the numbers are continuing to escalate and to go up.
• 17:46
  Speaker 6: Serve this next week, I'm headed This week, I'm headed Downdale, Salvador.
• 17:50
  Speaker 6: I'll be in the prison where we sent TDA members.
• 17:53
  Speaker 6: I'll be meeting with the President and also Columbia and
• 17:56
  Speaker 6: Mexico and talking about building these relationships so that we can.
• 17:59
  Speaker 5: Canntinue to get people out of this country that don't
• 18:02
  Speaker 5: belong here and take them home.
• 18:05
  Speaker 6: And also, you had talked to me about sending the
• 18:07
  Speaker 6: message worldwide about the fact that people shouldn't be coming
• 18:10
  Speaker 6: to this country and they shouldn't be coming here illegally.
• 18:13
  Speaker 6: So we are in several other countries around the world
• 18:15
  Speaker 6: with a message right now that's saying if you are
• 18:18
  Speaker 6: thinking about coming to America illegally and coming here.
• 18:22
  Speaker 7: Don't do it. You are not welcomed.
• 18:24
  Speaker 6: We have a legal process to becoming a United States
• 18:26
  Speaker 6: citizen and there are consequences if you come here illegally.
• 18:29
  Speaker 6: And America has changed because we're putting Americans first. So
• 18:34
  Speaker 6: we've also the Coastguard has done phenomenal work. I don't
• 18:36
  Speaker 6: know if you all have reported on it, but we
• 18:38
  Speaker 6: have broken historic records in the amount of drug interdictions
• 18:42
  Speaker 6: that they have brought in. We've repositioned the fleet to
• 18:45
  Speaker 6: go after the fentanyl crisis and to go after the
• 18:48
  Speaker 6: southern border and securing it.
• 18:49
  Speaker 5: And they've done amazing work.
• 18:51
  Speaker 6: As far as that we were down in Florida, they
• 18:53
  Speaker 6: brought in half.
• 18:55
  Speaker 5: A billion dollars worth.
• 18:56
  Speaker 6: Of cocaine that they had done in fourteen interdictions and
• 19:01
  Speaker 6: had brought them in going right directly after the cartels
• 19:06
  Speaker 6: and doing great work there.
• 19:08
  Speaker 5: And we have a cutter that we have sped up the.
• 19:11
  Speaker 6: Process served the icebreaker that'll be hitting the waters here
• 19:14
  Speaker 6: this summer, and we've got two more that will be coming.
• 19:17
  Speaker 6: But you know, Russia is using they're cutters and icebreakers
• 19:21
  Speaker 6: up in the Arctic to do.
• 19:22
  Speaker 5: Surveillance on us.
• 19:23
  Speaker 6: And we're going to reposition our fleet to continue to partner.
• 19:26
  Speaker 6: I to thank the Secretary of Defense and the Navy
• 19:28
  Speaker 6: for all of their help and partnership too. We do
• 19:31
  Speaker 6: operations together because they are obvious. Maybe warships are in
• 19:35
  Speaker 6: certain regions, but our cutters are faster and can work
• 19:38
  Speaker 6: together in a partnership.
• 19:39
  Speaker 5: That's securing America and we're going to eliminate FEMA.
• 19:43
  Speaker 6: So we've got a lot to do, but it's all
• 19:46
  Speaker 6: good and we're working hard and we're going to make
• 19:48
  Speaker 6: sure that we're continuing to do exactly what you promised.
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: It's Verge, great job.
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: Yesterday there was a plaza that, you know, well, there'd
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: be hundreds of thousands of people standing at that plaza
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: into our country, totally unchecked, many people from jails and
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: prisons and mental institutions and gang members and horrible and
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: they just poured into our country. Yesterday, I was speaking
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: to somebody I was checking on the border and they said,
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: there was literally nobody in this massive plausa. You know,
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: we're talking a plaza that would hold hundreds of thousands
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: of people. There was literally nobody there. There was one
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: person sweeping it, but there were no people. It's been amazing.
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: It's been an amazing transformation very quickly. And we're getting
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: the bad ones out first, and we're taking them out,
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: and there's some.
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: Really bad ones, really bad ones.
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: Murderers, murders are more than one people, at least fifty
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: percent murdered more than one person. This is the people
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: that were letting in through their open border policy. It
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: was terrible, but I want to just congratulate you and
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: Tom Holman on the job you've done.
• 20:58
  Speaker 5: You've been Boston this weekend.
• 21:01
  Speaker 6: Hundreds of dangerous criminals were removed, four killers taken out
• 21:05
  Speaker 6: of the country just by what they did in Boston
• 21:07
  Speaker 6: this last few days.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and these are killers that there's no reasoning. It's
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: not like, oh, let's talk them out of it. These
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: are stone cold killers. They don't care, they don't even
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: think about it. They kill somebody, they go to sleep,
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: they wake up, they don't even remember they kill them.
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: These are bad people that should have never been allowed
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: into our country.
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: Pam is doing such a fantastic job.
• 21:27
  Speaker 5: I thought maybe you could say a few words, thank
• 21:29
  Speaker 5: you President. As far as we are hearing a.
• 21:32
  Speaker 9: Lot about fraud, waste and abuse, a lot of waste
• 21:35
  Speaker 9: and abuse, but there is a tremendous amount of fraud.
• 21:37
  Speaker 9: And Elon, thank you for your partnership, Thank you for
• 21:40
  Speaker 9: your team. You have uncovered so much fraud in our government,
• 21:44
  Speaker 9: and we will prosecute you. We have an intern or
• 21:47
  Speaker 9: task force now working with every agency sitting here at
• 21:51
  Speaker 9: this table, and if you've committed fraud, we're coming after you.
• 21:54
  Speaker 5: Thank you, Elon for that on the violent crime level.
• 21:58
  Speaker 9: Thanks to President Trump's directive, we are seeking the death
• 22:00
  Speaker 9: penalty again. So all of these horrible violent criminals that
• 22:04
  Speaker 9: you're hearing about around the country, they will face the
• 22:06
  Speaker 9: death penalty federally within our country. And the drug dealers
• 22:10
  Speaker 9: need to get out of here because we are coming
• 22:12
  Speaker 9: after you. We're going to have ninety four great US
• 22:15
  Speaker 9: attorneys around this country and everyone will be prosecuted to
• 22:19
  Speaker 9: the fullest extent.
• 22:20
  Speaker 5: Of the law. Thank you, Thank you. President. Is that
• 22:23
  Speaker 5: your directive?
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: I couldn't have said that better. That's that's very good.
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: It's doing a fantastic job. Thanks. Now, do you have
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: any questions please? Yeah, yeah, please, mister.
• 22:35
  Speaker 5: President, What can states do now to implement your department
• 22:38
  Speaker 5: educations that you order?
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: Well, I think what's going to happen is we are
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: cleaning out a lot of things like the loans student loans,
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: which will be handled very professionally by people that do that.
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: And then, as you know, RFK Junior is going to
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: do a fantastic job having to do with health and
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: the other things, and frankly better than the people at
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: the Department of Education.
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: You see the buildings all over DC, and then the.
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: Rest is the states that are going to start coming
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: in and taking all of the information on all of
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: their students.
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: And I think a.
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: Lot of that information is it's going to be shipped
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: to different states like Iowa, like Indiana, like so many
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: they're so anxious to get they're calling us and they're
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: so anxious to get it. We'll be shipping the records
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: of the children that they're taking care of, that they
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: want to take care of, and the process will begin,
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: and I think it won't be that long before the
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: states will be really running the Department of Education. Our
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: teachers are going to be taken very well care of.
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: And I said, you know, personally, I don't care union
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: non union is as a matter of teachers are so
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: important to this country and to me, and we're going
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: to take great care of our teachers.
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: And I know it's very important to Linda.
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: So I think you're going to see a tremendous change
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: very quickly having to do with education. And the process
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: has already begun, very struggling. Ben, I think we've done,
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: you know, whatever it is eight weeks. People are amazed
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: at how much we've done in terms of the safety
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: of the country. In fact, I would like to ask
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: maybe Marca to say a few words on what's happening
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: with respect to in particular Russia Ukraine, where.
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: We have some pretty good news. I think we want
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: to get it stopped.
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: Loving two five hundred young people, and these are Russian
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: and Ukrainian people largely, and they're not American people, but
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: on a human basis, we want to get it stopped,
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: and we want to stop spending billions and billions of
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: dollars to a country that we think it's time and
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: we're doing pretty well market.
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: Do you want to say so? Yeah, mister President.
• 24:42
  Speaker 16: First of all, I think the American people should be
• 24:44
  Speaker 16: proud that we have a president that's promoting peace and
• 24:46
  Speaker 16: the end of conflict on this planet. This is a
• 24:49
  Speaker 16: war that's gone on for three years, as you pointed
• 24:51
  Speaker 16: out that, as you've rightly pointed out, what have never
• 24:53
  Speaker 16: happened had you been president. But now it's here and
• 24:56
  Speaker 16: it needs to be brought to an end. There is
• 24:57
  Speaker 16: no military solution to this war.
• 24:59
  Speaker 7: It has end to.
• 25:00
  Speaker 16: Negotiation, and there's only one leader in the world that's
• 25:03
  Speaker 16: capable of bringing the two sides to a table, and
• 25:05
  Speaker 16: that's our president. The President of the United States President Trump,
• 25:08
  Speaker 16: and that's what he's done. And so today, even as
• 25:10
  Speaker 16: we speak, we have teams on the ground in Saudi Arabia,
• 25:13
  Speaker 16: a meeting with the respective sides and the hopes of
• 25:16
  Speaker 16: making progress towards this outcome that we all want to see.
• 25:20
  Speaker 16: And I think that the country great did a gratitude
• 25:24
  Speaker 16: and the world really because I mean, you're the only
• 25:26
  Speaker 16: leader in the planet that can bring the two sides
• 25:28
  Speaker 16: together to bring an end to this conflict, and that's
• 25:30
  Speaker 16: what you've done, and you've done it despite you know,
• 25:34
  Speaker 16: impediments from other countries and others who maybe have different
• 25:37
  Speaker 16: opinions about how this should go. But ultimately, I think
• 25:40
  Speaker 16: that the only chance we have for peace is to
• 25:41
  Speaker 16: the president's leadership, and you've shown that and we hope
• 25:44
  Speaker 16: it'll bear fruit and today will hopefully be one step
• 25:46
  Speaker 16: more in that direction.
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: Wellgo And on the Middle East, another hoddspot that we
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: didn't have a problem with. It was no problem in
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: the Middle East when we left, and now there's a
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: lot of problems in the Middle East.
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: But we're working on that.
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: But I think we've seen significant progress and I think
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: you'll have start We're going to start we were talking
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: with the Vice President a little while ago, and you're
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: going to see countries start to fill up the Abraham Accurts.
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: More and more countries want to join.
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: It was a great success, tremendous success, and then Biden
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: and his group.
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: Did zero with it.
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: That should have been filled up within a year of
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: the election would have been filled up. So countries are
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: starting to want to get involve very much with the
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: Abraham Accords again.
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: So that'll be great. JD. Do you want to say.
• 26:33
  Speaker 17: Something Yeah, sure, yes, sir, just on that topic. If
• 26:37
  Speaker 17: you think about what happened with the Abraham Accords, one
• 26:39
  Speaker 17: of the great diplomatic breakthroughs under the first Trump administration
• 26:42
  Speaker 17: really the last thirty or forty years of American history
• 26:45
  Speaker 17: in the Middle East, and the Biden administration did absolutely
• 26:49
  Speaker 17: nothing with it, built on it, not at all at
• 26:51
  Speaker 17: it zero additional countries purely out of political spite. The
• 26:54
  Speaker 17: Biden administration, I think hurt the United States and really
• 26:56
  Speaker 17: hurt the project of world peace. That has changed, luckily,
• 27:00
  Speaker 17: about two months ago we got a new president and
• 27:02
  Speaker 17: that president has given us the task of building out
• 27:05
  Speaker 17: the Abraham Accords, adding new countries to it, and really
• 27:08
  Speaker 17: what you see is a lot of these countries that
• 27:11
  Speaker 17: have historical ethnic or religious hatreds want to build. They
• 27:15
  Speaker 17: want to build new artificial intelligence, they want to build
• 27:17
  Speaker 17: new real estate projects.
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: They want their.
• 27:19
  Speaker 17: Citizens to become rich and prosperous and peaceful, and they're
• 27:23
  Speaker 17: setting to the side of those old hatreds under the
• 27:25
  Speaker 17: leadership of President Trump. So it's early, but we made
• 27:28
  Speaker 17: a lot of progress and we'll keep on making a progressor.
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: One of the thank you change one of the things
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: that's very important.
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: I think to mention, I saw a show yesterday and
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: they had a Democrat congressman on so on Fox, and
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: he said, well, President Trump said prices would be coming down,
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: and instead he's focused on other things.
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: Well, we all focused on a lot of other.
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: Things, like peace, like all of these companies that are
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: moving in in jobs. But what he didn't say is
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: that prices have come down very substantially. And if you
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: look at when I came in after one, they were
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: screaming at me about eggs. Eggs had nothing to do
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: with me, but they went through the roof and you
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: couldn't get them. And now they're down about thirty five
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: forty percent, maybe even more than that. I'm going to
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: let a brooke if you would just discuss that. And
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: groceries generally prices are coming down, and energy prices are
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: coming down, and I hope the Fed lower's interest rates,
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: and then you're going to see interest rates coming down,
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: and I'll have you speak about that in a second's
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: cut brook Well.
• 28:27
  Speaker 5: Sir, thank you.
• 28:28
  Speaker 4: I think the first thing that's really remarkable to note
• 28:30
  Speaker 4: is that the prices of eggs under the four years
• 28:33
  Speaker 4: of Joe Biden increased two hundred and thirty seven percent
• 28:37
  Speaker 4: two hundred and thirty seven percent in those forty years,
• 28:39
  Speaker 4: and yet it wasn't covered in the press at all.
• 28:43
  Speaker 4: No one talked about the price of eggs in the
• 28:45
  Speaker 4: summer of last year, for example, from the media. So,
• 28:48
  Speaker 4: of course the president wins and he is inaugurated, and
• 28:52
  Speaker 4: the next day everyone is yelping about why the price of.
• 28:55
  Speaker 5: Eggs are so high.
• 28:56
  Speaker 4: So so certainly one of many many issues we took
• 28:59
  Speaker 4: on the four years of Joe Biden. We had the
• 29:01
  Speaker 4: cost of input go up thirty percent for all of
• 29:04
  Speaker 4: our agriculture products. At the same time, the trade deficit
• 29:07
  Speaker 4: increased forty nine billion dollars, so it was zero under
• 29:12
  Speaker 4: the first Trump administration and then under Joe Biden, we
• 29:14
  Speaker 4: sold forty nine billion dollars less of our egg products
• 29:17
  Speaker 4: around the world. Then you combine that with the av
• 29:20
  Speaker 4: and bird flu and I know I've talked to a
• 29:21
  Speaker 4: lot of you in the press on this over the
• 29:23
  Speaker 4: last three or four weeks, but listen, here's the deal.
• 29:25
  Speaker 4: The President, under his vision and support, we released about
• 29:29
  Speaker 4: a month ago a very significant plan on how to
• 29:32
  Speaker 4: bring the price of eggs down.
• 29:34
  Speaker 7: It included five prongs.
• 29:36
  Speaker 4: I won't go into it now because I don't want
• 29:37
  Speaker 4: to bore everyone. But since that day, since we released
• 29:41
  Speaker 4: that plan regarding biosecurity, repopulation, importing eggs research, and then deregulating,
• 29:47
  Speaker 4: taking those onerous rules off of our farmers or egg
• 29:50
  Speaker 4: laying farmers, since that time, the price of eggs, the
• 29:53
  Speaker 4: wholesale price of eggs has.
• 29:54
  Speaker 5: Come down fifty three percent. So we're going to keep
• 29:58
  Speaker 5: working on it.
• 29:58
  Speaker 4: Listen, it's not something you solve avian bird flu and
• 30:01
  Speaker 4: some of the other animal diseases.
• 30:03
  Speaker 5: We're working across.
• 30:04
  Speaker 4: The government, several partners out in the cabinet on that,
• 30:07
  Speaker 4: especially my friends Secretary Kennedy over at HHS. But we
• 30:10
  Speaker 4: have a long term solution, but at least for now
• 30:13
  Speaker 4: in the short term, thanks to President Trump and so
• 30:16
  Speaker 4: many that have worked so hard, the price of eggs
• 30:18
  Speaker 4: are coming down, as well as the price of grocery.
• 30:21
  Speaker 5: So thank you, sir for the opportunity to lead on that.
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: And the number is fifty three percent and they're readily available,
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: so that's I think it's a fantastic job.
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: And overall groceries are down, that's.
• 30:32
  Speaker 5: Right, they're coming down, So.
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: The consumers finally seeing some good news instead of a
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: year after year of prices going up because of grossly
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: incompetent leadership. Scott, you want to talk about interest rates?
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: Where you see it all going.
• 30:46
  Speaker 18: Yes, sir, So we are under your direction. We're reprivatizing
• 30:51
  Speaker 18: the economy. We're bringing down government spending. We're bringing down
• 30:55
  Speaker 18: excess employment in the government sector. On the other side,
• 30:58
  Speaker 18: we're going to re leverage the banking system. We're going
• 31:01
  Speaker 18: to have all the new manufacturing jobs, so everyone who's
• 31:04
  Speaker 18: laid off from the government we'll have an opportunity to
• 31:07
  Speaker 18: go into the private sector. And that is going to
• 31:10
  Speaker 18: lead to disinflation. We're going to inflation is under control.
• 31:15
  Speaker 18: We're going to get the affordability crisis fixed, so lower energy, deregulation,
• 31:21
  Speaker 18: more private sector jobs. That will naturally get interest rates down.
• 31:26
  Speaker 18: Interest rates down. Mortgage rates are down almost every week
• 31:30
  Speaker 18: since January twentieth. The energy costs are down about fifteen percent,
• 31:35
  Speaker 18: crude oils down about fifteen percent. And as we keep
• 31:38
  Speaker 18: that going, interest rates are going to keep declining. It'll
• 31:42
  Speaker 18: be good for mortgages, it'll be good for credit card debt,
• 31:45
  Speaker 18: it'll be great for auto loans.
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: It's great, and you're doing a really, really good job.
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: I hope I'd like to see the FED lower interest rates.
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: That's just my opinion. Because things are coming down, we
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: have inflation under control. Tremendous amounts of money will be
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: soon coming in from tariffs, which is about time that
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: we were able to partake. We've been ripped off by
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: every country on that basis and it's about time. But
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: that will be I think very it treated very fairly,
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: will be very fair. But the money that we're talking
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: about is rather astronomical, and it should be because we
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: put years and years.
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: I was able in the first term.
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: We had a great first term with the highest stock
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: price increase ever.
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: All the different things that we had.
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: But one of the things, we took in a lot
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: of money in tariffs, and I just started that process
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: and we had to slow it down because of the COVID.
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: We didn't go forward.
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: We did a very good job with COVID, but that
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: was something that happened to the whole world.
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: It was a shame.
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: What a shame all those people did and all of
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: the problems that it caused for countries far worse. I mean,
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: some countries still haven't recovered economically, they haven't recovered.
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: But we we took in.
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: Hundreds of billions of dollars in tariffs just as starting
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: the process. But this is a program that's going to
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: be I think unbelievable for our country, and I think
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: it's treating other countries very fairly, very very fairly. I'd
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: like to ask if I might Sean Duffy to say
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: a few words about the air traffic control situation. You know,
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: there were some mishaps, one in particular the helicopter crashing
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: into the plane.
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: We have a system that's forty years old.
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: They spent tens of billions of dollars trying to patch
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: it up and you know, make it work. But it
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: doesn't work, and my pilot says, they use different systems.
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: They don't want to use our system. It's so obsolete
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: and it's an obsolete, horrible thing that happened with respect
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: to it, and we were going to I said day one, if.
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: This happens, we are successful, we're going to.
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: Have to get a brand new, modern, top of the
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: line air traffic system. And I think I can say
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: that I've been working a little bit with Shown on it,
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: but Show It's been working hard on it, and with
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: his new person at FDA, who's going to be terrific,
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: by the way, and maybe you want to talk to
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: them about that, because we need safety in the air,
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: total safety in the air, and this will give that
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: to you.
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: Sure, Thank you, Surpresident.
• 34:25
  Speaker 19: We had a conversation on Friday again our air traffic
• 34:30
  Speaker 19: control system, as we talked about maybe privately or I
• 34:33
  Speaker 19: don't know publicly with all of you, but we have
• 34:36
  Speaker 19: decades of ideas and billions of dollars and no progress
• 34:40
  Speaker 19: is ever made on any.
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: Of these initiatives.
• 34:42
  Speaker 19: Air traffic control is the same thing, and so we're
• 34:45
  Speaker 19: having a conversation about building a state of the art,
• 34:48
  Speaker 19: brand new, best technology.
• 34:51
  Speaker 7: Envy of the world air traffic control system.
• 34:54
  Speaker 19: And what's interesting from from the dog team is they'll
• 34:56
  Speaker 19: look and say, well, what is the problem. Why hasn't
• 34:58
  Speaker 19: this been built? This is about say, this is about
• 35:01
  Speaker 19: people's lives. All of you fly, your family flies, Why
• 35:04
  Speaker 19: hasn't it been done?
• 35:06
  Speaker 7: And the problem is in government it takes way too long.
• 35:09
  Speaker 19: So technology changes and money changes, and administrations change. We
• 35:12
  Speaker 19: have to do this fast, which is why we need
• 35:14
  Speaker 19: the partnership from the Congress to give us the money upfront,
• 35:18
  Speaker 19: the best ideas and the best technology available in the world.
• 35:21
  Speaker 19: We're going to build in the system. I think it's President,
• 35:24
  Speaker 19: we can do it in three years. I think Trump
• 35:25
  Speaker 19: Tower was built in three or three and a half years,
• 35:27
  Speaker 19: and I think we could match the Trump Tower time frame.
• 35:30
  Speaker 7: Two years, two years maybe not that good, but a button.
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: About three years.
• 35:37
  Speaker 19: And again it's a wet the choreograph because again our
• 35:43
  Speaker 19: towers are operational keeping plans in the air. So it's
• 35:47
  Speaker 19: we've got to choreograph this. But we can do it
• 35:49
  Speaker 19: in short order. But I can just make one other
• 35:51
  Speaker 19: pointments to President. We're thirty six trillion dollars in debt.
• 35:56
  Speaker 19: You've never had a doge We've never come in and
• 35:58
  Speaker 19: looked at our government the way mister President, you looked
• 36:01
  Speaker 19: at this government and said, there's too many people. There's
• 36:04
  Speaker 19: there's contracts, fraud, waste, and abuse. And so we've had
• 36:08
  Speaker 19: a few bumps in the road as we've gone through
• 36:09
  Speaker 19: this process. But if you look around this room, everybody
• 36:13
  Speaker 19: has has seen how the process has evolved, and everyone
• 36:17
  Speaker 19: appreciates some of the insight and and technical support that
• 36:22
  Speaker 19: we've gotten to make this government more efficient, to make
• 36:25
  Speaker 19: it more responsive to the American people.
• 36:27
  Speaker 7: And so again, when you have a new system like this,
• 36:31
  Speaker 7: you'll you'll get some bumps. But things are rolling out.
• 36:35
  Speaker 19: The last three weeks have been much much better as
• 36:37
  Speaker 19: our teams have integrated and we're working uh to to
• 36:40
  Speaker 19: deliver for the American people. And I would say some
• 36:43
  Speaker 19: of the press had made comments last time about what
• 36:46
  Speaker 19: happened in the last meeting.
• 36:48
  Speaker 7: We had a we had a great conversation in the
• 36:49
  Speaker 7: last meeting.
• 36:50
  Speaker 19: Eli and I had a great call after after the meeting,
• 36:54
  Speaker 19: And so sometimes the reporting can be a little bit off.
• 36:57
  Speaker 7: I love the the analysis that you.
• 37:01
  Speaker 19: Guys do when you're not in the room, but I
• 37:03
  Speaker 19: just note that we're working well together as president and
• 37:05
  Speaker 19: the whole team here is working all together.
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: Well, actually we decided to see you after the cabinet meeting.
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: Had said it before, and I think that's nice. But
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: if you think about it, I guess never in history
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: has anybody invited you to a cabinet meeting. And we're
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: very open and transparent, and we had a very good
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: meeting today. So I mean you're standing here, you're seeing
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: what the result of the meeting is. I think we're
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: doing an amazing job for essentially eight weeks on the job.
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: I think it's uh, there's never been anything like it.
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: Did you have a question?
• 37:36
  Speaker 4: Please?
• 37:36
  Speaker 7: All right to ask you thank you for having us.
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: Thank Kim, We appreciate it.
• 37:39
  Speaker 20: Why ask you to follow up on the attorney generals
• 37:41
  Speaker 20: Gud's and the one for you. You said that you're
• 37:44
  Speaker 20: now preparing to prosecute examples of fraud across frontal agencies
• 37:50
  Speaker 20: referred to you as.
• 37:51
  Speaker 5: What you said, we are working with a team.
• 37:53
  Speaker 9: We have a team of attorneys in place, working with
• 37:56
  Speaker 9: Elon's incredible team helping us taking we're from the cabinet members.
• 38:01
  Speaker 5: You know, these are your tax dollars and a lot
• 38:05
  Speaker 5: of it is just abuse.
• 38:06
  Speaker 9: A lot of it's waste, but if it's fraud, we
• 38:09
  Speaker 9: are investigating it and we're coming.
• 38:11
  Speaker 5: We are looking at multiple cases of fraud throughout the
• 38:14
  Speaker 5: federal government.
• 38:15
  Speaker 20: One funds for President Greenland is confused about the second
• 38:21
  Speaker 20: Lady and the National Security addrids are visiting this week.
• 38:24
  Speaker 20: They're concerned that this is further provocation, right or whatever
• 38:28
  Speaker 20: it is you ultimately want for Greenland. Could you further
• 38:31
  Speaker 20: explain why they're going.
• 38:33
  Speaker 5: What is the ultimate in all?
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, not provocation. This is a friendliness, not provocation.
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: We're dealing with a lot of people from Greenland that
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: would like to see something happen with respect to their
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: being properly protected and properly taken care of.
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: They're calling us, We're not calling them.
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: And we were invited over there, and I thought it
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: would be a great I have great respect for the
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: wife of our first of our great vice president. I
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: think she's doing She's a brilliant woman, she's a very
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: nice woman, and she loves the concept of Greenland, and
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: so she's going there, and I think Marco's going there,
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: and some others are going there. But we've been invited
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: and they really like the idea because they have been
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: somewhat abandoned. As you know, they haven't been taken well
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: good care of. And I think Greenland's going to be
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: something that maybe is in our future. I think it's important.
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: It's important from the standpoint of international security. And if
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: you look at the ships outside of Greenland, you have Russia,
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: you have China, you have lots of different people and
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: lots of different places, and.
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: It cannot go on the way it is.
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: It's not going to go on the way it is.
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: Make a statement, it's not going to happen. So they're
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: going there, and that's purely friendship.
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: A lot of people.
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, people, people from Greenland are asking us ago that
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: we have many, many requests from many many people, some
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: officials too.
• 40:05
  Speaker 13: Yes.
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: Economic forecast.
• 40:07
  Speaker 21: I saw one economic forecast coming out from the OECD
• 40:11
  Speaker 21: this past week. They are forecasting stagflation for the United States,
• 40:16
  Speaker 21: downtick in terms of GDP growth.
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: Do you agree with that forecast? What do you see
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: over the course of twenty twenty five.
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: For well, we inherited a very very bad and perilous
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: situation from a group of people. Again, we just got
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: here from a group and this takes a long time.
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: To develop from a group of people that truly didn't
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: know what they were doing. And you see that with
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: not only costs, you see that with all of these
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: fake contracts that have been given out. So we inherited
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: a bad situation. But I think we're going to have
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: an economy that booms.
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: I think when when it all kicks in, and it's
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: not going to take very.
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: Long because some of these people that announce it, they're
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: going to spend billions of dollars. I mean literally, Apple
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: is spending five hundred billion. They've never made anything close
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: to that to do that. They're building plans here instead
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: of China instead of other places. When it all happens,
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: and it's going to happen very soon, these are people
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: that are many cases are already starting.
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: They just announced.
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: In some cases they literally they announced, but they actually
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: started before the announcement, as you know, because some are
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: already building.
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: This is going to kick in.
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: I think it's going to be amazing. So they're looking
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: at based on numbers that I was looking at six
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: months ago. Seven months ago, I was very concerned about
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: the economy. We're going to have something that's like nobody's
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: ever seen before.
• 41:38
  Speaker 2: We have.
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: Numbers, and we have a job generation that I don't
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: think we've ever seen before.
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: See how it works out, but I think the economy
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: is going to go through the roof. How do you praying?
• 41:53
  Speaker 20: I'm in an interview with Time magazine published this morning,
• 41:55
  Speaker 20: President Zelenski said he believes in some members of your
• 41:58
  Speaker 20: team have been influenced Russian information, because we're heard his words.
• 42:02
  Speaker 7: What do you have to say that there?
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: Well, probably they have been influenced to get this thing
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: settled because Ukraine wants to see it settled. I think
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: they have to have it settled, and Russia wants to
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: see it settled. And I think if I weren't president,
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: this would never happen. Marco is doing a great job,
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: and Steve Whitcoff has been incredible. Michael Waltz, we have
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: a great group of people working on it, and it
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: takes a good part of their day settling something that
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: really well. It affects us monetarily because we've given so
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: much money and we're getting that done. Infect Scott has
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: telling me that the agreement on rare Earth is just
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: about completed. They'll sign it shortly. So it's as you know,
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: Europe is in for a very small fraction of what
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: we're in for. It affects them much more than affects us.
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: And again they are in as a loan, which nobody
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: knew until I came alone. Is giving the money to
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: Ukraine as alone, we were just pouring money into Ukraine.
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: It's a very unfair situation. So we made a deal
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: on rarest.
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: But most importantly, we want to stop the killing that's
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: going on with twenty five hundred on average, mostly soldiers
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: a week of being killed, and the Russian and the
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: Ukrainian and if we can stop it, that's a very
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: important thing to me on a human basis.
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: Okay, anybody else.
• 43:25
  Speaker 5: Are you signing the deal today?
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: Is that would need No, we'll be signing it soon.
• 43:30
  Speaker 2: It'll be signed very soon.
• 43:33
  Speaker 22: On Ukrainian recently mentioned the fate of all the Ukrainian
• 43:37
  Speaker 22: children addicted and transported to Russia. So are you demanding
• 43:41
  Speaker 22: that Russia return these kids to their families in Ukraine.
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: Well, it's one of the things that we're talking about.
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: I know that no decision has been made. We're talking
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: about territory right now, we're talking about lines of demarcation,
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: we're talking about power, power, plant ownership.
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: Some people are saying the United States should.
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: Own the power plant and then work it that way
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: because we have the expertise to fix it up at
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: Centric et cetera. Okay, that would be something like that
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: would be fine with me. But they are talking about
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: ownership of the big nuclear power plant in particular. But
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: all of these things will come up, and they have
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: come up, and that has been discussed yet.
• 44:19
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: I want to thank everybody very much. This was a
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: great meeting. These are phenomenal people we're lucky to have.
• 44:27
  Speaker 2: I have to tell you. I want to thank you all.
• 44:29
  Speaker 2: And Elan, I want to thank you. I know you've
• 44:30
  Speaker 2: been through a lot with this horrible situation that happens
• 44:35
  Speaker 2: saving America very unfair.
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: What he is is a patriot. Here's a man that
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: I can tell you. He's a friend of mine who
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: has become a friend of mine. He supported me in
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: the election. That's when I got to know him.
• 44:47
  Speaker 2: Really.
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: ILL do him a little bit from the first third,
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: but not much. But he's a patriot more than anything else.
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: He's never think of it. He has never asked me
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: for a thing he could have. I always say I
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: wonder if he's ever going to ask me for something,
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: and that's always subject to change, and if it does change,
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: I'll let you know about it. But Elon has never
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: asked me for a thing. I mean, I got rid
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: of the electric car mandate. I have no idea how
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: that affects him, but possibly not good, I don't know.
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: But he's never asked me for a thing, and I
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: think that's an amazing tribute. I did get activated last
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: week when I saw what they were doing. I said,
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: he makes an incredible product, and we're going to go
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: out and tell people you can't do that stuff and
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: support him. They've got to support him because if he
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: wasn't doing this, he wouldn't have any of these difficulties.
• 45:37
  Speaker 2: And I think it's getting less and less.
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: Pam has done a great job with regard to all
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: of the you know, I mean, I know the kind
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: of investigations that are going on.
• 45:45
  Speaker 2: If she finds them, which she will, she already found
• 45:48
  Speaker 2: four of them.
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: But I think they're going to suffer very grave consequences
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: because they're really terrorists.
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: When you think about it, they're very terrorist at a
• 45:57
  Speaker 2: high level.
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: And I think the people that are find financing them,
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: they could very well be people. I know, people that
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: you write about, but those people are in big trouble,
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: so they better cut it out. But Elon's a patriot.
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: We want to thank you very much for the job,
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: you know. Thank you very much.
• 46:17
  Speaker 2: Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. Everybody all right.
• 46:31
  Speaker 20: The media portion of the Cabinet meeting comes to it,
• 46:34
  Speaker 20: and President Trump ending on the note there calling Elon
• 46:38
  Speaker 20: Musk a patriot, saying that Elon Musk has gone through
• 46:42
  Speaker 20: a lot in the recent weeks there, with many Tesla
• 46:45
  Speaker 20: cars being vandalized,
