Speaker 1 (00:08):
There is Marcus closed downtown Manhattan, lower lower East side
of Manhattan. It's kind of interesting place, really really crowded
down there. We're open for politics and news right here.
Tak a look at the numbers very quickly. Dow Jones
up four hundred and twenty four. And by the way,
folks at S and P number right there, sixty one
seventy three, a new record high. Also, NAZDAK two hundred
(00:29):
and seventy three, a new record high there. And for me,
we've been talking about this every single day. See that
oil probably sixty five oh eight down sixteen cents. That's
a good news. We want that oil down. And I've
been talking about this for a couple of days. I
want to talk to Steve about it, but we can't
seem to get our acts together. I called the White House,
I called Suzy, I called a bunch of people over that.
I know I'm recommending Trump buy oil for the Strategic
(00:52):
Patrolling Reserve. I'm recommending to them. They all know it now,
Eric Trump knows it. Don Junior knows it. They're getting
it to the president. Buy oil because right now it's
sixty five dollars. Did you know the entirety of the
Biden presidency, the average price for oil was seventy nine
dollars a barrel. Remember he said he was gonna he
used it, he spent it, and he was going to
buy it back when I went back under sixty. Never
(01:13):
did stayed high. They never bought it back. We're vulnerable
as a country. Barack Obama seventy seven dollars a barrel
for the eight years of his term. First term, Trump
fifty three dollars a barrel. It's sixty five. Fill the
damn spr up right, now, get us back to safety.
That Biden took us away from safety, put us in
harm's way. And you know what, add another two hundred
(01:34):
and fifty million barrels, make it a billion barrels. At
this price, Trump will look like a superstar. And I
know he loves he loves those oil prices. All right,
let's go to our first guest, the executive director for
the Foundation for Freedom Online. Happy to have Mike Bentz
back here. Mike, really good to have you, my friend.
We can get to some of the other stuff, but
(01:55):
we're waiting on the President. He's gonna, I guess, bring
the cameras in. He's got Congo and Rwanda in his office.
Cameras coming in in a little bit. But we're going
to talk about this Supreme Court ruling today, which is
phenomenal for President Trump, actually for all presidents, but President
Trump specifically. You want to take the folks through what happened.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Yes, there was a landmark Supreme Court decision that just
came down that blocked what was the most powerful tool
for Democrats in blocking Trump agenda items, nationwide injunction on
the birthright citizenship issue. Effectively, in a six to three decision,
the Supreme Court has blocked loan rogue District Court judges
(02:38):
from being able to issue a nationwide injunction on the
plan to potentially end birthright citizenship in the US. And now, effectively,
they didn't rule on whether or not birthright citizenship is
or isn't constitutional, but rather on whether or not a
(02:59):
judge can issue a nationwide injunction. So now what's going
to happen is this issue of birthright citizenship is going
to be balkanized at the state level. You're going to
now see potentially states be able to sort of opt
out of birthright citizenship, which is going to have a
very interesting fragmenting impact on state level immigration policy. On
(03:29):
the one hand, it's a big win for the Trump
administration in terms of its immigration agenda. On the other hand,
it may exacerbate some of the issues around California and
other states which are trying to use sanctuary state and
sanctuary city status to evade immigration law. It may heighten
the showdown between the federal government.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
And really it doesn't even matter what the issue is.
The point was, there are some forty injunct forty injunctions
against Trump policies, ideas what he wanted to do, some
forty by activist judges around the country, and they were
effectively And if I'm not mistaken, I think thirty five
of the forty came from five judges, five separate judges,
(04:11):
who were just pounding Trump his on his policy and
what the Supreme Court said. And if paraphrasing here and
correct me if I'm wrong, Supreme Court says, we're not
judging whether or not this individual idea is constitutional or not.
We're saying that an activist judge, of federal judge that
is responsible for one portion of the country cannot continue
(04:32):
to get in front of the commander in Chief's way
on policy. They effectively put in back into place the
separation of the three branches of the separation of powers,
three branches of government.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
That well, this is what's that's exactly right. This is
actually what's terrifying. I think Democrats more more than anything,
is that the nature of the ruling potentially makes other
nationwide injunctions by rogue district court judges beyond the birthright
citizen issue. This entire tool of venue shopping to find
(05:07):
a favorable jurisdiction, go to California, go to New York
and litigate in front of, you know, a Democrat judge
whose wife is an NGO funded by USA, and to
get some nationwide injunction. That tool may be crushed by
this Supreme Court President, because if it applies to birthright citizenship,
(05:30):
it may apply to any range of federal government issues.
There's a there's a quote by Justice Amy Cony Barrett,
who has not historically sided.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
With you, my friend, but we have. We've been waiting
watching here's the oval office, President of the United States.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
You got.
Speaker 4 (05:53):
Well, thank you very much.
Speaker 5 (05:54):
And I'd like to ask Caroline, who has become very famous.
We are, and she has a person who's a colleague
of hers, a friend of hers, and that she has
a lot of respect for who comes from the area
and knows exactly what's happening.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
Caroline going to ask you to say a few words.
Speaker 6 (06:12):
Yes, sir, here we have Haryana who is from the
continent at Africa. She's been a reporter here in the
United States for many years, and she has a story
to share with the press, with the media and with
these two fantastic leaders who have joined you today.
Speaker 4 (06:25):
Soa why don't you come up here and talk so
they can see you. Sure, that'd be great. Thank you
very much, Thank you, It's a great honor.
Speaker 7 (06:34):
Thank you, mister President.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
So, as Caroline has mentioned, President, first of all, I
want to let you know that I'm the only African
reporter a crediting here is the White House cover for
the entire continent. So I just arrived from Congo Democrat
for Conan yesterday. I went to see firsthand how the
people is feeling and the President's message. President's fellis just
(06:59):
acd about this upcoming peace deal. And let me tell
you first hand what I've witnessed myself.
Speaker 7 (07:05):
I spoke with the people on the street. I spoke
with you.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
They know your name, They know that a president name
President Trump is working hard to finally bring peace to
the country. I so hope they have hope now for
a better day in Congo. They see what you're doing
as a future, better future for Congo. And I had
opportunity to sit down with President Felix she Secid for
(07:31):
an interview because I want to understand his mind as
he's thinking, he's feeling about everything that your administration is doing.
And he told me firsthand that for many years, many
American presidents overlooked this conflict.
Speaker 4 (07:44):
They didn't do nothing.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
Even myself, I cover President Biden's administration, I pressed many
times about this conflict.
Speaker 4 (07:51):
People are dying in Congo.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
This country has so much POTENTI but they need help
because this war is destroying the country. They never gave
me any And he told me President that he's very
you have no idea. He's very thankful for what you're doing,
for what your administration doing. Not only him, the entire
Congo is people. They see that finally they will have hope.
(08:13):
And President She also mentioned at the end of my
interview that when peace finally come to Democrat Republic of
the Congo. He's thinking to nominate you as a Nobel
Prize piece because he said you deserve You have been
working to bring peace in the in the world, not
only at the Congo. And he's very hopeful to meet
(08:33):
you in the future.
Speaker 4 (08:34):
That's so spoil and that's so beautifully stated.
Speaker 5 (08:37):
And Caroline said number one, she did say, and I
shouldn't say this because it's politically incorrect. She said, she's
beautiful and you are beautiful. I'm not allowed to say that.
Speaker 4 (08:47):
You know.
Speaker 5 (08:48):
That could be the end of my political careers. But
you are beautiful and you're beautiful inside. So I wish
I had word reporters like you. I covered Africa for
a long time.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
Yes, for over ten years.
Speaker 4 (09:02):
I cover even your first administration.
Speaker 5 (09:04):
Yes, I know that. That's great. Well, thank you, that's
so nice that you said that. I appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
And I have one more question, mister president, since we
know in July or in the future, both President of
Wand and the Congo will be coming to.
Speaker 7 (09:16):
The United States.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
In Africa, President chan Lorenzo the President of Angola. He
is also the leader of African Union. He's worked very
hard to bring peace.
Speaker 4 (09:26):
Batton for that let's get him here. Yes, okay, would
you invite him for me? Of course, Okay, that will.
Speaker 5 (09:33):
Have I know that he works very hard and he's
ahead of essentially the union. So the union all over Africa,
not the kind of union that we have. This is
the union all over Africa. And I'd love to have him.
So you'll let him know.
Speaker 4 (09:47):
Mister President, Thank you very much.
Speaker 5 (09:49):
Good Now you go back to ware. That's great. That's
a great job. That's real knowledge and real hard to
graduate relations. Okay. So we're here today to celebrate a
glorious triumph and that's what it is for the cause
of peace. And this is a long time waiting the
(10:12):
signing of a historic peace agreement between the Democratic Republic of.
Speaker 4 (10:17):
The Congo and the Republic of Rwanda.
Speaker 5 (10:22):
The conflict has continued and it's been going on for many,
many years. It's been going from I guess they say
thirty years the Great Lakes Region of Africa for a
long time, and maybe even.
Speaker 4 (10:36):
A time before that.
Speaker 5 (10:37):
How is the Great Lakes Region must be beautiful, right,
beautiful region. But they had a lot of war, right,
a lot of fighting, a lot of death. It's displaced
countless people and claimed the lives of thousands and thousands.
But today the violence and destruction comes to an end
and the entire region begins a new chapter of hope
and opportunity, harmony, prosperity and peace. That's a that's been
(11:03):
a long time waiting. I said, how long has the
war been going? And friend of mine who's very much involved,
at thirty years and at least six six million people
were killed during that period of time. It's incredible. And
somebody said that was actually it's the biggest war on
the planet since World War Two. So uh, it's a
(11:24):
it's a shame, but we're gonna bring it to an end.
I wanna express my gratitude and congratulations to the representatives
of the Democrat Republic of the Congo and the Republic
of Rwanda who signed his pivotal.
Speaker 4 (11:38):
Agreement a short time ago.
Speaker 5 (11:40):
They just signed right in front and let me also
thanks Secretary of State Marco Ruby, who has worked very
hard on this subject and we've worked on it together
for his outstanding leadership as well as Senior Advisor for
African UH and Africa Affairs, Massad Bulahs who's UH as
you know, spends a lot of his time in Africa
(12:01):
and he's very comfortable there. I said, were you all
uncomfortable with all of the turmoil and all of the killing,
and he said, no, I wasn't uncomfortable. And that's what
you need. You need somebody that's going to be able
to get so Masada, I want to thank you very
much for the job.
Speaker 4 (12:16):
You've got. An amazing guy.
Speaker 5 (12:18):
Actually, I also want to thank African Union Quitar Togo
for working closely with the United States.
Speaker 4 (12:26):
And I know Qatar was really working hard.
Speaker 5 (12:29):
And African Union we just spoke about that and I
look forward to having them representatives here when we do
the official meeting, and that'll be some time in July,
and we look forward to it. And you better be
here covering it. Okay, we're not going to stand anybody
else covering it but you. But this is a tremendous breakthrough.
In a few short months, we've now achieved peace between
(12:52):
India and Pakistan, Israel and Iran, and the DRC in Rwanda,
and couple of others. Also UH Serbia, you know was UH.
We were getting ready to go to war with UH,
a group I won't even mentioned because it didn't happen.
We're able to stop it. But uh, I have a
(13:13):
friend in Serbia and they said, we're gonna go to
war again, and uh, I will I won't mention that
it's Kosovo, but uh, it's Kosovo. But they were gonna
have a a big time war. We stopped it. We
stopped it because of trade. They want to trade with
the United States. I said, we don't trade with people
that go to war. And we said that also with uh.
(13:34):
If you take a look at Pakistan and India, it
was great. They have two great leaders, two great leaders,
and they were able to stop. They were in the
midst of a big, a big fight. I guess everybody so,
and it was gonna get very bad. And they are
nuclear nations, very powerful nuclear nations. And the months and
years ahead, my administration will continue to work closely with
(13:55):
all of the parties in the Steel and ensure the
agreements are fully.
Speaker 4 (14:01):
Taken care of. And you're gonna do what's in the agreement.
Speaker 5 (14:04):
We'll say you better do what's in that agreement, right,
because if somebody fails to do that, bad things happen.
But I have a feeling that after thirty years, I
think after thirty years, you will said, I think both
of you have said that's enough, right, that's enough.
Speaker 4 (14:19):
You've seen it all.
Speaker 5 (14:20):
So this is a wonderful day. It's a great day.
We've had some tremendous success. It's been a great week
between just coming back from a very successful trip NATO.
NATO's really pulled together. They have it's gonna be. They're
gonna spend over a trillion dollars a year. Nobody expected
a thing like that to happen. And we had the war,
(14:43):
as you know it was we called the twelve day war.
It was exactly a twelve day war, and we ended
up with no nuclear weapons. That's what we wanted, and
they were they were just absolutely blown to pieces those
three sites. And there's no nuclear weapons. Hopefully there can
be a lot of healing, and the healing is starting
(15:04):
and just it's been a really pretty amazing week.
Speaker 4 (15:08):
And this is one that I really looked forward to.
Speaker 5 (15:10):
This was set up a few weeks ago and it
was something that I really look forward to. If we
can do this, and we do that because we have
a certain competence that's good. We're able to get people
to be peaceful. I think we can do war better
than anybody. But we don't want to. And we have
the greatest military in the world. They showed that in Iran.
Those pilots they flew for thirty six hours, and think
(15:35):
of that. And they hit the target the size of
this desk, half the size of this desk, from about
fifty two thousand feet.
Speaker 4 (15:43):
In the dark of night with no moon, zero moon.
They wanted it that way, can you believe it?
Speaker 5 (15:49):
And they hit every missilehead exactly half the size of
this beautiful resolute desk. We don't want to talk about
it when it comes to rocket sitting it, but half
the size of this and they hit dead center from
tremendous heights, going at tremendous speech.
Speaker 4 (16:04):
It's amazing. Nobody could do a thing like that.
Speaker 5 (16:06):
There's nobody has that weaponry and nobody could do a
thing like that. So we had a very busy and
successful week. In addition to that, our economy is doing great,
setting records with the economy, and a lot of other
good things happening.
Speaker 4 (16:20):
But this is.
Speaker 5 (16:21):
About Congo and Rwanda, and i'd like to ask you,
by mind, would you say a few words before we
introduce our guests.
Speaker 8 (16:31):
Think mister President, yes, So, under your leadership, mister President,
and the full support of Secretary Review and the entire
team at the State Department. We engaged with the two
parties in early April, and within three weeks they signed
the Declaration of Principles, and now within about two months
from that we have signed to the definer. This is
(16:53):
actually the finite peace Agreement. You know, many people were
wondering if this is preliminary. You know, this is the
actual final peace agreement that they signed today. You've also
expressed interest in inviting the heads of states to the
White House for resigning ceremony. So there will be some
other additional agreements that will be signed in addition to this,
(17:15):
which will become known as the Washington Accord. With regards
to the Great Lakes region, there are some economic I
think that's really Washington, and there's an economic aspect as
well that is extremely important.
Speaker 4 (17:35):
For both countries.
Speaker 8 (17:37):
They have also worked last week we finalized the Regional
Economic Integration Framework, which both countries will be signing at
the White House here during.
Speaker 4 (17:49):
That ceremony, and that's going to be a great ceremony.
Speaker 5 (17:53):
Absolutely will make that great ceremony and bring other people
that were involved, some other people besides a gentleman. We
talked about who we know has worked so hard. If
you think there are other people that are deserving, let
us know.
Speaker 8 (18:07):
Okay, sure, and there will be some bilateral agreements with
negotiating a minerals deal within the RC for critical minerals.
Many American companies have shown interest in investing in the DRC,
and this we're talking about long term investments.
Speaker 4 (18:24):
Same thing with Rwanda.
Speaker 8 (18:25):
Many American companies have shown interest, and not only in mining,
but also in the midstream and downstream, which would be
the processing of minerals. We're also working and supporting the
Lubito Corridor, which we'll have building the infrastructure. Just two
days ago, the United States signed well and supported a
(18:46):
project of one point five billion dollars for electric transmission
right from Angola to the d RC, and there are
many other.
Speaker 4 (18:55):
Projects of that nature lined up.
Speaker 8 (18:57):
So we will be under your leadership, mister President, will
be working with the two countries very closely and with
the support of Qatar to make sure that this agreement
is implemented.
Speaker 5 (19:07):
And a lot of our companies are in both of
these countries now, especially since we've been getting along so well.
It's probably the way we were brought together, and we
have a lot of our big companies are there between
Rare Earth and all of the other things that they
do in Africa, which is very greatly expanding, especially in
these two countries.
Speaker 4 (19:29):
You have Earth.
Speaker 5 (19:30):
They consider it to be about the best in the world, actually,
i've heard. So we're doing a lot of different things
and it's all going to bring everybody together.
Speaker 4 (19:38):
That's how this all began, I guess.
Speaker 5 (19:40):
But the big thing is a big thing for me
is there's really only one thing, and that's getting a
peace treating with two countries that have.
Speaker 4 (19:48):
Been fighting for thirty years.
Speaker 5 (19:50):
And I want to thank you all well if you could,
as you could bring the letters.
Speaker 9 (19:55):
Over of course, so in front of you, as you said, sir,
these are the actual agreements that we're signed respectively by
the foreign ministers of the Democratic Republic of Congo and
Rwanda earlier today, witnessed by Secretary of Rubio.
Speaker 4 (20:07):
We've also prepared for you two letters.
Speaker 5 (20:10):
This is the.
Speaker 10 (20:11):
President Paul Kagame of Rwanda expressing your appreciation and congratulations
for everything that's happened already and of course inviting him
to Washington for as doctor Bulos said, what we hope
will be the Washington, the courts finally setting the terms
for peace and prosperity in this region, hopefully for a
very long time.
Speaker 4 (20:32):
That's great, that's beautiful, very important.
Speaker 5 (20:40):
We're gonna put a picture in there, right so this
this is over, They're gonna put we have a fast
moving photographer, Dan, he's gonna.
Speaker 4 (20:46):
Put a nice picture of us here. Ok, thank you,
thank you.
Speaker 10 (20:50):
And this is a letter to President Chikasa Eday of
the Democratic Republic of Congo again congratulating him on settling
this long running war and inviting him to watch PC
for the final conclusion of the of the agreement, hopefully soon.
Speaker 4 (21:05):
That's great. I'm sorry, that's right. Thank you so much.
If you take that, then thank you me. So I'd
like to ask JD to say a few words.
Speaker 5 (21:24):
A great Vice President and then Marco and go ahead.
Speaker 4 (21:29):
Great.
Speaker 11 (21:29):
Well, First, let me welcome the foreign ministers of Rwand
and Congo. It's great to have you in the Oval office.
And second, let me take congratulations to the President and
Secretary of Rubio, the entire team. I think for the
people of these two countries, they should know that the
United States has committed to the Pathway of peace. But
to my fellow Americans, this is really a celebratory moment.
This is a big moment for our country because under
(21:51):
the President's leadership, we've taken what was thirty years of
killing and war, the worst war in terms of death
count since World War Two, and now we're on a
pathway to peace. And so if I think about what
I know about these two countries, for thirty years, pretty
much the entire time that I can remember these two
countries being in the news, much of the story has
(22:12):
been about them fighting one another, about them killing one another.
And now we can look forward to a future where
my children will look at this moment as the beginning
of a news story, a story of prosperity and of peace.
So thanks to the President, Congratulations to the entire team,
and to my fellow Americans. We should all be really
proud because it's amazing what active presidential leadership can accomplish
(22:33):
when it's geared towards peace and prosperity. And that's what
we have in the Oval Office right now.
Speaker 4 (22:38):
So great job, sir, Thank you very much, Sde and Marco.
And then we're going to ask the two principles to speak.
Speaker 7 (22:43):
Yes, sir, sur President. First of all, thank you.
Speaker 12 (22:45):
When I first came on this job a few months ago,
you made it very clear that the one of the
priority of this administration under your leadership is going to be.
Speaker 7 (22:52):
The pursuit of peace.
Speaker 12 (22:53):
And from day one, whether it's been in Ukraine and Russia,
whether it's been Pakistan, India, whether it's been Iran and Israel,
and in the continent of Africa, your priority has been
on peace.
Speaker 7 (23:01):
And today we see this come to fruition.
Speaker 12 (23:03):
It's sad wars get a lot more attention than peace,
but peace is harder than war, a lot harder. And
I want to congratulate both of the leaders here in
their respect to presidents for choosing the harder path, which
is often peace, than the easier path, which sometimes is war,
as costly and as bloody as it may be. And
I echo the Vice President's statements, and that is that
Americans should be very proud that the number one voice
(23:24):
for peace in the world today is our president, your president,
and so thank you, President Trump. And I want to
again recognize doctor Brugles and the work he's put into
this from day one. He's really put a lot of
time and effort and as our friends from the respective
countries can share with us.
Speaker 7 (23:39):
And last point, I do want to thank you've done.
Speaker 12 (23:41):
This already, but the African Union, Togo and Qatar who
have been extraordinary partners and whose help we're going to
need to continue to receive in order to bring all
this to fruition. So congratulations to both of you, and
thank you, mister President.
Speaker 4 (23:54):
Great job you've done. Do you want to start cool
either way?
Speaker 7 (23:59):
This first?
Speaker 4 (24:01):
Thank you so much.
Speaker 13 (24:02):
Again, thank you so much, mister President for having us here.
I think I can summarize my contribution in three main points.
First of all, thank you and congratulations indeed for this
remarkable milestone which is putting an end to thirty years
of conflict and of suffering, and which is redefining the
perspectives that millions of Congolese and of citizens of the
(24:25):
Greater Great Lakes region will have. The second point is
stay committed, stay on board. We need the United States
to make sure that this agreement holds and that you
hold us accountable. And the third point is if you
stay on board, I think there are so many perspectives
that we can transform our partnerships through and that can
usher in an era of prosperity of growth and of
(24:48):
shared bilateral relationships that go well beyond the challenges that
we've shared together and that can at least or finally
focus on the potential end of the wealth that we
can share. So again, our heartfelt gratitude to you on
my behalf, but more importantly on behalf of the people
of the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Speaker 4 (25:07):
Thank you so much, beautiful Falcon and I look for
just seeing your leader.
Speaker 5 (25:11):
They will highly respected person as you know, highly respected
all over the world, but then Africa particularly, So sometime
in July, I will do something big ceremony.
Speaker 4 (25:23):
Thank you very much. Please, thank you, thank you very much.
Speaker 14 (25:25):
For the President, this is indeed historical play because it's
the signing of a peace agreement between Congo and the
Rwanda to end a conflict that has been going on
for thirty years.
Speaker 7 (25:40):
And there has been many.
Speaker 14 (25:43):
Mediation facilitation in the past, but none of them succeeded.
And we believe that it's because of your leadership and
your state fast commitment to this process.
Speaker 4 (25:58):
With also a new approach.
Speaker 14 (25:59):
Of economic integration, region economic integration, which is important to
allow RAN and DRC walking together because this is a
very rich region with the cross border trade with the minerals,
with natural wealth. So with the US standing by side
by side with the RUN and DRC, we believe that
(26:21):
will achieve a long time peace. And we also believe that,
as my colleague from DRS is stated, it's important for
the United States to stay committed because today we signed,
but now there is we need to implement what we
have signed in order to open this new era you
were talking about of prosperity, so that we can reap
(26:46):
the economic divisiend of peace. So for this economic integration
framework to be implemented, it's important for the US to
accompany the parties to implement what we have signed, because
in the past we have signed so many agreements that
we're not implemented, and we are really we believe that
with your leadership, with the involvement of the United States administration,
(27:08):
we will reach that go So thank you very much
in President.
Speaker 5 (27:12):
Well, this will happen, definitely. I can reach over. Do
you want to just press them over to me, let
me have them. And I just wanted to give you
a signed agreements and we'll make sure that you follow
us through.
Speaker 4 (27:26):
We'll make sure you follow through. We'll make sure, okay.
Speaker 15 (27:30):
Yes, for you.
Speaker 4 (27:32):
And we have one other thing that we're going to give.
We give to special people only. It's a coin. Thank you,
and I hope you do that.
Speaker 5 (27:40):
And we're going to give you a second one for
your leader. Oh, he's a serious coins. You don't want to,
you don't want to, Elizabe will be very I think
that your reporter from Africa should get one.
Speaker 4 (27:55):
What do you think?
Speaker 7 (27:56):
I think?
Speaker 12 (27:58):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (27:58):
Are the reporters okay with it? Brian?
Speaker 5 (28:02):
Yes, okay, you did a fantastic job and I heard
you do a great job in covering everything.
Speaker 4 (28:09):
Thank you.
Speaker 10 (28:10):
And mister president, we actually have the pictures that you
took earlier ministers here already.
Speaker 4 (28:15):
Thank you so much for the president. Let me see that.
Speaker 9 (28:18):
You're getting this folder right?
Speaker 5 (28:20):
Okay, this one?
Speaker 4 (28:23):
Oh, they looked better than me. I don't like it.
That's beautiful. That's very gonna have a good photographer. Beautiful.
That's great.
Speaker 5 (28:43):
You better, I'll tell you you better do the job here,
we're gonna come down.
Speaker 4 (28:46):
It's beautiful. Thank you very much. So we'll put them in.
That's for you you great.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
Is the cap?
Speaker 4 (29:01):
Where is it for the yes? Yes, okay, that's fun.
Let's say they have filed them. I think so.
Speaker 5 (29:10):
He wouldn't give us one who would have made a
big mistake. None, that's for you. You, thank you very much,
and you're all set and this is for you. You're gonna
get this good might as we'll hold it. Thank you,
Thank you very much, good luck.
Speaker 4 (29:28):
Thank you. Do you have any questions? Why not? Why not?
By the way, why?
Speaker 5 (29:36):
I mean, because this is about a different subject right now.
This is right now actually a much more important subject.
We just ended a war that was going on for
thirty years with six billion people died.
Speaker 4 (29:48):
So I don't ask me a trade question on Canada
from Kara.
Speaker 6 (29:52):
Kastronov from Lyndel TV on now that your administration and
congratulations has secured Keith and Africa to a bloody, horrific
war that's gone on for decades and where the president
could do it?
Speaker 10 (30:01):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (30:01):
Do you think the mainstream media will finally.
Speaker 5 (30:05):
But you're right, no other president you could do it.
They tried and they well they didn't even try. I
don't think I don't I actually don't think they tried.
Do you think Biden tried? Didn't know he was alive?
Speaker 4 (30:16):
The media will go only give you credit where credit
is due.
Speaker 5 (30:18):
No, the media will never give me credit, but the
people give me credit.
Speaker 4 (30:23):
That's why I'm here. The people didn't give me That's
why we're here.
Speaker 5 (30:26):
In the landslide, we got all seven states, we won
the popular bout were so the media won't give me credit,
but the people give me credit.
Speaker 4 (30:33):
That's more important to make.
Speaker 9 (30:35):
You're gonna go down as a peacemaker, you also go
down with the president has zero border crossings in may
or secured a border more or mostly any money or not.
Speaker 4 (30:44):
But I don't know if you know this, you're on
track right now.
Speaker 16 (30:47):
They have the lowest murder rate in history in this country,
and I think a lot largely goes to the fact
we close down the order.
Speaker 4 (30:55):
If you want a middle map, you might go down
as the uh murv mur Yeah, I saw that the
other day.
Speaker 5 (31:03):
And it's an honor, I mean, And that's really uh
even better because you know, we've taken a lot of
illegals in into the country through Biden, through the Biden
administration that U our murderers eleven thousand, eight hundred and
eighty eight to be exact, and many of.
Speaker 4 (31:21):
Them are now gone. We get rid of them. They're
back where they belong.
Speaker 5 (31:25):
But so it's a great honor, you know, it's a
If you took that out, it would be the numbers
would be even better.
Speaker 4 (31:30):
Yes, they've created a.
Speaker 16 (31:32):
Lot of problems your social further about being money to
the air traffic controllers and the big beautiful bill which hopefully,
praise God, if we get this thing signed. What does
that mean to that industry that have been suffering the
last couple of years or.
Speaker 4 (31:46):
A couple of years where you get a hundred funding,
how that changed the stay of air travels? Well, they've
under fronted the airports for years.
Speaker 5 (31:53):
And I started the process of getting it completed in
terms of the equipment necessary to land the lanes where
the planes, like a helicopter accident with the plane would
have never happened. If they had the right modern equipment,
it would have been bells and whistles would have been
going on all over the place. And I had it
all set, but when I wasn't here, they totally dropped it.
Speaker 4 (32:15):
You had a terrible head of transportation.
Speaker 5 (32:17):
We have a very good one there, Sean Duffey, but
you had booted edge and he didn't know a damn thing.
Speaker 4 (32:22):
He'd right to work on his bicycle. He didn't know
what the hell was going on.
Speaker 5 (32:25):
He was terrible, so he totally dropped that. It was
a project that should have happened, and I was all set,
but we had a very sad experience with the.
Speaker 4 (32:34):
Voting, and so we didn't get to do that.
Speaker 5 (32:37):
But now I'm doing it, and we're going to have
a great system, and it's funded partially by the bill.
The initial funding is by the bill, and then it
gets to be funded. The rest of it comes a
little bit later as we build it out. But we're
going to build out the best in the world. We
have the best companies in the world. A couple of
countries have very good systems.
Speaker 4 (32:54):
In fact, I.
Speaker 5 (32:54):
Noticed when I was landing my pilot often would use
the system of another country, and I said, what are
you doing that for? I said, the United States system
is so bad. So we have the best UH companies
that do that.
Speaker 4 (33:07):
In the world. Bidding you have right, the you have IBM.
Speaker 5 (33:11):
You have a lot of different companies bidding, and we'll
get the best one, the best system, for the best price,
and they're gonna go to town and give us a
system that will be better than any other system. In
the world and you wanna have planes bumping into each
other at thirty five thousand feet.
Speaker 17 (33:26):
Miss the subject of the peace deals, How close is
are you and your administration to a deal in terms
of Gaza ceasefire right now?
Speaker 5 (33:38):
Often asked, and I think it's close. I just spoke
with uh, some of the people involved, and it's a
terrible situation that's going Gaza. He's he's asking about. And
we think within the next week we're gonna get a ceasefire.
And we're supplying, as you know, a lot of money
and a lot of food to that area because we
have to.
Speaker 4 (33:57):
I mean you have to.
Speaker 5 (33:59):
We're in theory not involved in it, but we're involved
because people are dying.
Speaker 4 (34:03):
And I look at those crowds of people that have.
Speaker 5 (34:05):
No food, know anything, and you know, we're the ones
that are getting it there. Some of it's being taken
by some bad people, you know, if you give it
and you give it out and they're supposed to be
taken care of the people, and they end up stealing
the food and selling it. But we have a pretty
good system now, but so we're helping with that. You
see the lines of people that just get one meal essentially.
(34:30):
But it's too bad other countries aren't helping out. Nobody's
helping out where we're doing that because I think we
have to order a humanitarian basis like this. We didn't
have to get involved in Africa, but we did because
we thought it was I mean, I've been reading, like
JD said, he's you know, from much of his life.
He's been just seeing this about this brutal war and
(34:54):
it actually got a lot of publicity because of the
level of brutality it was. Nobody's ever seen anything like it.
And to be involved in uh that, I mean, I
consider this the most important of my conference is today.
Speaker 4 (35:07):
We just had a great.
Speaker 5 (35:08):
Supreme Court victory today and and everybody would say that
was big, but you know, we we're talking about saving
thousands and probably millions of lives here. This is more
important than anything. So, uh, it's great. But we're working
on Gaza, trying to get it taken care of. And again,
you know, a lot of lot of food has been
sent there, and other countries throughout the world should be
(35:30):
helping also.
Speaker 17 (35:31):
And on is there conflict that I know you've been
working on, sir. Is it true that you have reached
out with a letter.
Speaker 4 (35:37):
To North Korea's Kim jongman.
Speaker 5 (35:40):
Well, uh, if there is a conflict, I get along
with him very very well, and uh we'll get the conflicts.
Speaker 4 (35:46):
Off with North Korea.
Speaker 5 (35:47):
I've I've had a good relationship with Kim Jong un
and uh I've gotten along with him really great.
Speaker 4 (35:54):
So we'll see what happens.
Speaker 5 (35:55):
But as somebody saying there's a potential conflict, I think
we'll work it out of there is it wouldn't involve us.
But again, we're very far away from a lot of
these places that were solving problems with But I enjoyed
doing it. I like doing it, and it's the right
thing to do, and we're able, we have an ability
to get it done.
Speaker 4 (36:12):
So with solving things that we didn't have a lot
to do.
Speaker 5 (36:16):
With Serbia Kosovo, I told you we solved a potential disaster.
Speaker 4 (36:22):
I can tell you that.
Speaker 5 (36:25):
Some of the countries that you're not gonna hear about,
but some countries that were ready to go to war
with their neighbor are not going to go to war
with their neighbor.
Speaker 4 (36:33):
And it's it's a great thing. We have a number
of them.
Speaker 5 (36:36):
But I just I'm very happy about India and Pakistan
because they had they actually have nuclear weapons.
Speaker 4 (36:42):
You know, when you talk about Iran, they were trying
to get it.
Speaker 5 (36:45):
But India has nuclear weapons, Pakistan has nuclear weapons, high
level nuclear weapons both and getting that solved.
Speaker 4 (36:56):
Was was really great.
Speaker 5 (36:57):
We did it through trade, so it was a great thing.
Speaker 6 (37:01):
When he comes to nuclear weapons, mister president, are you
concerned that the Iranians may have some enriched uranium at
Pickaxe Mountain?
Speaker 5 (37:10):
The last thing they're thinking about right now is enriched uranium.
And I'm thinking about what they wanna do is they
want to get back to life, and they do want
to meet me, and we'll do that quickly.
Speaker 4 (37:21):
I'm gonna do it quickly. A meeting that they don't
want to meet.
Speaker 5 (37:24):
The US Yell, they may say that to you. Don't
you think they wanna meet me? Don't you think we
have sanctions on there that they can't do anything. Wouldn't
you think that they want to meet me? I mean,
they're not stupid people. But they went through a lot, uh,
and they suffered, and so did Israel. Israel suffered greatly.
(37:44):
It was a nasty twelve days and uh, yeah, we'll
see what happens. Are you considering sending Patriot missiles to Ukraine.
Speaker 4 (37:55):
Have you made up your mind about that yet? I
may go ahead.
Speaker 8 (38:00):
Few one answered questions that remained in the field for example, will.
Speaker 4 (38:05):
For example go back from also will be allowed to.
Speaker 5 (38:13):
Remain in partner? Well, let me ask you that question.
You want to answer? That an interesting question for you,
go ahead, Thank you very much.
Speaker 14 (38:24):
In the agreement we signed, we have taken the concept
of operation for the neutralization of the FDLR, which is
a vicious genocidal movement, and the lifting of random defensive measures.
So this was already signed last year in November, so
we will implement it, this concept of operation to do
(38:45):
both things to neutralize this movement which has been stabilizing
Rwanda for many years, and to lift our defensive measures.
As for the M twenty three. In the agreement, also
we have decided to rely on the Dohatos because they
are current talks between the AFC and twenty three under
the DORC government to have a peace dealer also that
(39:07):
will compliment the Washington Peace Agreement. So both things are
taken care.
Speaker 4 (39:12):
Of the United States being forcing this agreement. So you're
going to be working with them to get it enforced.
Speaker 5 (39:17):
They can enforce their own agreement, but we'll be putting
a lot of pressure on to make sure it gets enforced.
The two people in this room are very, very capable people,
and they'll get it done. I think they'll get it done.
They love the One thing I learned very quickly is
how much you love your country and you want to
get it done. And they know it has to get
done otherwise bad things happen. But I think we're well
(39:38):
beyond that. Other presidents should have done what I'm doing
right now.
Speaker 4 (39:42):
They never did it. I don't think they ever tried.
I don't think it's like they couldn't do it.
Speaker 5 (39:46):
I don't think they ever tried, and if they did,
they wouldn't be able to do it anyway.
Speaker 7 (39:51):
Yes, thank you, mister president.
Speaker 3 (39:53):
Can you share with us what can happen if one
of the parts violate this peace agreement, because we don't
want work to come back.
Speaker 4 (40:02):
To well, I'd rather not say I.
Speaker 5 (40:05):
I would just say that there are big penalties if
they violate, and they're not gonna.
Speaker 4 (40:08):
I don't think they will violate.
Speaker 5 (40:10):
I think they mean, but we have very severe penalties,
financial and otherwise.
Speaker 4 (40:14):
Kay you back to you some.
Speaker 13 (40:17):
Social clos on Kenna specifically, why are you deciding to
create talks with Canada at what.
Speaker 5 (40:23):
Rate for your HOLI to set So, Canada I put
a UH charge on some of our companies, and Canada
has been a very difficult country to deal with UH
over the years.
Speaker 18 (40:33):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (40:34):
You know, we hear Canada.
Speaker 5 (40:35):
We have a great relationship with the people of Canada,
but it's been very difficult. Then they put a charge
and they were a little bit early we found out
about it.
Speaker 4 (40:42):
So and we have all the cards we have, will
every single one.
Speaker 5 (40:46):
We don't wanna do anything bad, but uh they have
UH economically, we have such power over Canada.
Speaker 4 (40:53):
I'd rather not use it.
Speaker 5 (40:55):
But they did something with our tech companies today trying
to copy Europe.
Speaker 4 (40:59):
You know, they copied Europe.
Speaker 5 (41:00):
It's not gonna work out well for Europe either, and
it's not gonna work out well for Canada.
Speaker 4 (41:05):
They were foolish to do it.
Speaker 5 (41:07):
So I said, UH, We're gonna stop all negotiations with
Canada right now until they UH straighten out their act.
Speaker 4 (41:13):
Is there anything Canada change the line office?
Speaker 16 (41:17):
No.
Speaker 5 (41:17):
They put a tax on UH companies that were American
companies that they should very su very severe tax and
uh yeah, I guess they could remove it. They will,
but it I don't really, I mean, it doesn't matter
to me. We have all the cards. We have all
the cards. You know, we do a lot of business
with Canada, but relatively little. They do most of their
(41:37):
businesses with us. And when you have that circumstance, you
treat people better.
Speaker 12 (41:43):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (41:43):
They've had farmers uh that are getting like three hundred,
four hundred, two hundred percent in tariffs. Nobody's ever seen
anything like it. We have cases. You don't read this
and the people don't report, but uh, they charge us
four hundred percent on some uh dare products four hundred percent.
Nobody writes that it's not fair to our farmers, and
(42:06):
we've got to protect our farmers. Certainly, Brian, how much
of a rate a club due to the interest on
the debt.
Speaker 16 (42:17):
Earlier today, director of COLTI was on CNBC talking about
how it suggested Powell should resign. Any comments on whether
or not Powell should step down your pity.
Speaker 5 (42:28):
More, Well, I don't have a comment. I'd love him
to resign if he want to taste it done. Lousy job. Look, Uh,
if you were there, you'd say well, you know, the
United States is doing well. They have no inflation, and
if they do get inflation in a year or two,
we'll put we'll start raising the rice. We'll get rid
of the inflation. You don't do other things. Uh, Biden
(42:49):
had the worst inflation in the history of our country,
nineteen percent, But I think it was much higher than that. Frankly,
they say nineteen percent. I say, I think it's a
lot higher than that. And we have almost no inflation now.
We've done a great job in a short period of time.
Energy prices the way down ghasolely now is down to
close to two dollars in a lot of places.
Speaker 4 (43:10):
A couple of places I see it even broke. It's
like one ninety eight a gallon.
Speaker 5 (43:14):
We've done a great job on inflation and honestly, pretty
much everything else. I think that. I think it's very
sad the way people act. You know, you have a
guy in there that, with the stroke of a pen
could lower interest rates and save us hundreds of billions
of dollars a year. But he's a stupid person. You know,
(43:37):
it's very interesting he I'm not sure if he doesn't
understand it, because you should be able to understand it.
It's sort of one on one economics. But I'm not
sure that. But think of it. With the stroke of
a pen. He talks about costs. We can save six
hundred billion dollars, maybe even these are nice numb for you, right,
(44:01):
nine hundred billion, nine hundred and fifty billion dollars by
lowering interest rates. And it's really just more of a
paper movement.
Speaker 4 (44:07):
It's not like you're not cutting anything. You're not cutting jobs.
Speaker 5 (44:10):
It's just interest rates. And we're number forty forty four,
number forty five some places that you wouldn't believe that,
you know, I don't want to be disparaging, but they
pay a lower interest rate in the United States of America,
and without us, everything blows up.
Speaker 4 (44:27):
You know. We we sort of control the world in
that sense.
Speaker 5 (44:30):
But we have a guy that's just a stubborn mule
and a stupid person that is making a big mistake.
He's making a mistake and it lasts for years because
when you do the debt. Now, I've instructed my people
not to do any debt beyond nine.
Speaker 4 (44:45):
Months or so.
Speaker 5 (44:46):
Get this guy out, and whoever is in there will
lower rates if I don't. If I think somebody's gonna
keep the race where they are or whatever. I'm not
gonna put them in. I'm gonna put somebody that wants
to cut rates. There are a lot of them out there.
And I said this morning, a lot of the business
shows today were saying, you know, Trump is right, you
should be cuttings.
Speaker 4 (45:06):
Think of it.
Speaker 5 (45:06):
We have a great country. We're making a lot of money.
We're taking in billions of dollars and terrors.
Speaker 4 (45:11):
We have one.
Speaker 5 (45:11):
We have fifteen trillion dollars of money that wants to
be invested here, which is a record in two months.
It breaks any record that we've ever had for a
whole year, and not even close.
Speaker 4 (45:24):
Fifteen trillion, and it's going to be much higher than that.
Speaker 5 (45:27):
That's after essentially two months, because you know, we've been
doing it for about two.
Speaker 4 (45:31):
Months and a half months.
Speaker 5 (45:33):
Fifteen trillion dollars breaks every record in the book.
Speaker 4 (45:36):
There's never been anything like this.
Speaker 5 (45:38):
We have factories moving in, we have car plants moving in,
we have everyone wants to be part of the United States.
And as I told you, and I say it to everybody.
When I was in the Middle East, the King of
Zaudi Arabia and guitar ue.
Speaker 4 (45:51):
All great leaders, they have all great leaders.
Speaker 5 (45:54):
All three of them said you got the hottest country
in the world, and you did it. And at that
time I was there for four months.
Speaker 4 (46:00):
We got back a little while ago.
Speaker 5 (46:02):
But everybody says it, not only them, but we have
the hottest country in the world right now.
Speaker 8 (46:06):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (46:07):
The only thing is we have a FED chairman that
is uh, he doesn't get it. And you could have
substantially low like if we cut 'em two points, would
save more than six hundred think of it, more than
six hundred billion dollars just because you cut.
Speaker 4 (46:21):
But you can't go out to the market and say, well, we.
Speaker 5 (46:23):
Have a guy that's got us at four percent or
four and a half percent, and we wanna pay two
percent or one percent. I think we should be paying
one percent right now. And uh, we're paying more because
we have a guy who's you know, sufferings from I
think Trump de arrangement syndrome. If you want another truth,
but he's not good for our country.
Speaker 4 (46:45):
You no, no, no, you're not you not you not you.
Speaker 15 (46:47):
Uh.
Speaker 11 (46:48):
The late question of banking are there and reports as
the president that your administration is considering issuing in executive
order of debanking, which.
Speaker 7 (46:56):
Is the practice of banks to nin service.
Speaker 9 (46:57):
Is based on people, political leaves, or industries such as crypto.
Speaker 4 (47:01):
If you want all than that, would you be open
or interested.
Speaker 9 (47:05):
To sign such an executive.
Speaker 4 (47:06):
Order targeting D banking and as well well? I think
the D bankers. I think that banks.
Speaker 5 (47:11):
I can tell you because I've been a victim myself
because of my politics, that big banks were very nasty
to us. And I actually think it was Biden's people
that told them to be because the one group of
people the banks are afraid of the regulators. They are
petrified of the regulators. And I've seen the biggest banker
(47:33):
I can tell you. You see him on television all
the time. If a regulator walked into the room, he
gets all nervous and crazy. They're afraid of the regulators.
And if the Biden people order the banks to be
virtually closed, that they could do anything. Want the regulators
control of the banks. It's not the president of the bank.
The president of the bank is far less important to
(47:54):
a bank than a regulator, and a regulator can put
that bank out of business, just like bad prosecutor are
very dangerous.
Speaker 4 (48:01):
You know, we had a.
Speaker 5 (48:01):
Couple had deranged Jack Smith and some others and we
kick their ass, but it was you know, it's a
tough kind of a situation.
Speaker 4 (48:09):
Prosecutors are very dangerous.
Speaker 5 (48:11):
A great prosecutor is an amazing asset for a country,
but a corrupt prosecutor a bad prosecutors very bad.
Speaker 4 (48:18):
Well, the regulators are the same thing.
Speaker 5 (48:20):
And when they tell the regulator to go and make
it make life impossible for big banks or little banks,
they really control it. So there is a lot of
D bank. You know, there's a they call it D
bank and call a lot of different names. Essentially, they
make it impossible to do business. And those people are
very bad, are very dangerous, and they shouldn't be doing it.
Speaker 17 (48:42):
Well to taxes, mister President, could you please explain how
taxes would go up by sixty eight percent if the
bill isn't passed.
Speaker 7 (48:49):
Where does that number come from?
Speaker 5 (48:50):
Well, it comes from the fact that you have automatically
the Trump cuts, which were the biggest cuts that we've
ever had. Now these cuts are even bigger. But from
the last Admits instration with the Trump cuts, it was
a five year deal and it comes due when you
add that to the cuts that you already have and
other things. It amounts according to what they tell me,
about sixty eight percent.
Speaker 4 (49:11):
That would mean you'd have a tax so that.
Speaker 5 (49:15):
You know that the tax cuts that they got, the
biggest tax cuts in our history, would immediately go up
to that level. And that alone is a big chunk
of the sixty eight percent. And then you have the
other taxes that would accumulate, and they say that you'd
have about a sixty eight percent tax increase.
Speaker 17 (49:34):
Sir, you said a moment ago that it won't work
out very well for Europe on trade. Does that mean
you want to cut off those negotiations as well and
just tell them what.
Speaker 4 (49:41):
No, Well, it's been very tough Europe.
Speaker 5 (49:43):
The European Union was formed in order to take advantage
of the United States and trade. That was why they
were formed. And they're nasty. They're very nasty. We have
a good relationship. I'm dealing with Ursula right now in
the group. But it's it's a very it's a very
tough situation. They I have been unbelievably bad to us
if you look at past precedents, They've treated.
Speaker 4 (50:05):
Them very badly.
Speaker 5 (50:06):
They're being very nice to me because I get it.
I know the system, and we have the cards. We
have the cards far more than they do, and they
have not treated as well.
Speaker 4 (50:16):
And they're coming to us right now. You know.
Speaker 5 (50:18):
I said, I'm gonna put on a fifty percent tariff.
As soon as I said that, I put it out
on truth. As soon as I said that, they came.
Speaker 4 (50:25):
To the table. They didn't want to come to the table.
Speaker 5 (50:27):
My people were telling me, Scott was telling me, and
the whole group was telling me that not a good situation.
They want to tap it down the line. They don't
want to really deal. So I said, we're gonna put
a fifty percent tariff in you and Howard, as you know,
was very much involved Lutnick Commerce, and he said, they
(50:48):
don't want to talk. As soon as I put that on,
I was getting calls from them like can we meet tomorrow.
Speaker 4 (50:54):
And the problem is they have a lot of very
unfair taxes.
Speaker 5 (50:58):
They have a lot of taxes is that you wouldn't
put on, and they sue all our companies. They're constantly
suing Apple and Google and all of these companies and
getting you know, in front of judges that essentially almost
work for them. I guess they do work for them,
the European Union judges, and they're getting these crazy rewards.
Apple was fined seventeen billion dollars and others are being
(51:22):
fined tremendous numbers of dollars. If they're nasty people, and
I don't want them affecting US companies.
Speaker 4 (51:30):
I don't want that.
Speaker 5 (51:31):
If anybody's going to affect a US company, I want
it to be us. They're gonna have to pay a
penalty or fine. Let it be to us. So they've
done this for a long time, for years. But they're
very nasty. The European Union is very nasty, there's no question.
But they'll learn not to be so nasty versus They
know that, they know it's coming.
Speaker 14 (51:53):
Let's Putin reached out to you to help you with
your christ We made some.
Speaker 5 (51:58):
Nice savments to did you see of the same, very
nice Vladimir Putin made some very nice statements today. Look,
he respects our country again. He didn't respect it a
year ago. I can tell you right now, but Putin
respects our country and President Chief China respects our country
and Kim Jungle and respects They respect our country again.
(52:19):
We were not a country that was respected just a
year ago, we had a president that was incompetent. We
had bad people circulating around this desk, this beautiful, resolute desk.
They had, I guess evil intentions they were you couldn't
be that stupid. I mean, they had evil intentions. But
the world respects our country.
Speaker 4 (52:40):
Again.
Speaker 5 (52:40):
Thank you very much everybody, and congratulations.
Speaker 4 (52:48):
Are going this.
Speaker 15 (52:51):
Thanks everybody.
Speaker 1 (52:55):
Well, there is President Trump in the Oval office with
it represents from both Congo and Rwanda, and a bunch
of other questions. We saw Brian Glenn get three separate
questions and I think to the first time, I want
so four questions to a one and one. Obviously, uh,
Trump and Brian have a very very good relationship. We
(53:16):
don't want to go into all the Congo stuff, but
there was a lot of other questions that came up,
and we can. We don't have enough time in the
show to start talking about all the things that did
come up. So what I wanted to do, I wanted
to just read some of the emails, because you guys
have been great all week. I literally got close to say,
seven or eight hundred voicemails that came through, and it's
just been off the charts. Love to hear what you're saying.
(53:38):
So who we have mad Dog or Ben on the
Voice of God today. It's mad Dog, Mad Dog, mad
diggity Dog. Read me, give me a hint on what what?
The first one is?
Speaker 15 (53:47):
First one is why is gas going up in Pa?
Speaker 18 (53:50):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (53:50):
This is a good question.
Speaker 11 (53:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 19 (53:52):
Hi, my name is Jim from Western Pennsylvania. I like
to know why our gas presses are going up. I
was watching the Press Secretary today on TV and she
said they're gone down. I'm not sure about that. Drive
to Western Pennsylvania. It's three sixty nine a gallon out
fifty cents from a year ago. And I'm kind of
(54:15):
disappointed because we have all this liquid gold under our feet.
And I hope President Trump does something about the gas
prices now. Is it because we're a blue state and
Shapiro refuses to lower the tax on the gasoline? He
(54:36):
can help the Pennsylvanians out that way?
Speaker 1 (54:39):
Great, great question, great comment. Everyone. You know, literally the
whole country worries about the price of gas. You're right,
gas prices are continuing to go up right now. Trump
talked about gas prices coming down. That's caause scrude prices
have come down. What companies do. What gas stations do.
People who are going gas stations on the corner when
prices are going up, and everyone knows prices oil is
(55:00):
going up, they raised their gas price with it very fast.
On the way down, they're very slow. It's called a
sticky price on the way down. They lower their prices
a lot slower on the way down, and they capture
more profit. It's the way it is, and that's why
we have anti gouging laws. But gas prices, oil prices
are coming down. Gas prices are coming down, and as
they said, I've talked to Bannon about this, I talked
(55:21):
to the White House about this. Trump right now should
just go in fill up the spr's strategic petroleum reserve
that Biden drained because prices were high. He drained it,
lefting us, leaving us very very vulnerable. That's our emergency
supply of crude oil in the event of a total disruption.
We need that. He drained it from seven hundred and
fifty down to maybe less than five hundred million barrels.
(55:44):
Trump should go back in, bring it back to seven
to fifteen, and then go further bring it to a
billion barrels. At this low price because Biden said he
was going to fill it back up when the price
went down. It never went down under Biden, but prices
of gas will start to come down. Good question, Jim.
Nothing to do with Shapiro. It has more to do
with the mom and pops on the corner. Just making
a little bit more fat at our expense. Mad dog,
(56:07):
what's next?
Speaker 15 (56:08):
This is Bill from Connecticut and he has something to
say about senators from there.
Speaker 1 (56:12):
Let's hear it by Direck.
Speaker 20 (56:14):
This is Bill from Dayville, Connecticut and the two stupidest
senators from the state of Connecticut, Dick Blumenthal and Chris Murphy.
They embarrassed me every time they get on TV. But anyway,
it's because of the stupid people who keep voting in
these stupid people. That's all I get to say about that.
(56:35):
Love your show and I like it when you and
Steve Bannon do the hook up at five o'clock.
Speaker 1 (56:40):
Well, I wouldn't call it a hookup because it has
a different connotation where I come from. However, I do
like that banter with Banning, and you are right, it
could be two of the stupidest, stupidest senators in America.
Bloomenthal in your other Connecticut centator. I can't remember what
the other one you, mad dog, Give me another one.
Speaker 15 (56:58):
Someone with a has a comment about bumper sticker.
Speaker 18 (57:01):
Go for it, Hey, Eric, Florida's got your back. I
got a great new bumpersticker. It says CNN. I don't
want CNN for the same reason I don't beat out
of the toilet. And also for the New York Democrats
thinking about heading to Florida, turn around, we don't want you,
see ya, one.
Speaker 1 (57:16):
Hundred percent agree. I see all these Florida the New
York license plates down to Florida. I'm like, just go
back and certainly don't get a vote down here to
use your vote and waste your voting in New York
where you got that wacky socialist mom Donnie about to
win the Democrat mayoralship of New York. They had some
really bad choices, mad dog? What else?
Speaker 13 (57:38):
Uh?
Speaker 15 (57:39):
This guy has a mouthful?
Speaker 1 (57:42):
Oh is this the way? Is this is what not
to do when you're calling you on TV? Folks. We're
only doing this once. I'm not going to play him
again like this, but this is what you don't want
to do.
Speaker 19 (57:52):
Hey, why do you think Trump said they don't know
what they're doing because he's pissed.
Speaker 18 (57:58):
Off and you should be too.
Speaker 19 (58:01):
You're getting your asses kicked.
Speaker 12 (58:04):
Man.
Speaker 19 (58:04):
We're in a football game here, down by twenty one
point if not more, and you have nothing but nothing
to fight back with.
Speaker 5 (58:15):
You better get your together.
Speaker 4 (58:18):
Going to bed.
Speaker 1 (58:19):
Let's get stump out of that one before before we
make a mistake out. Don't do that, guys. You keep
it concise, keep it clean, keep it real. Give me

Speaker 1 (58:42):
Pus Trump Trump. All right, let's we can. We got
time for another one, mad Dog.
Speaker 21 (58:49):
You're a good guy. I'm out here in California, Robert
San Jose, that Mondani guy, let him know he's not
welcome out here. You should take his filth back to
where he originated from. I know you won't air this,
but the reason we're Gaale going through this is because
of the sewage in DC to allow these scum buckets
into the United States of America at sixty six years old.
Speaker 19 (59:11):
It started in six sixty nine.
Speaker 1 (59:13):
All right, well we did Eric, because you want to
say it, you want to know something. Keep it clean.
We can bleep some stuff with try not to do that.
Just keep keep them coming. Eighty eight six and one
oho three two. It's a toll free number. Just we really,
really are enjoying your telling us what is important to you,
getting it off your chest, because that's what we do.
And a lot of people, a lot of elected officials,
(59:34):
watch the show or will find clips of this elsewhere
and they will hear you. I promise you, there's that number,
toll free.
Speaker 15 (59:41):
Use it.
Speaker 1 (59:41):
Let me know what you think, let me know what
you think of anything doesn't matter. Steve Bennon Warroom is
coming up next. He's going to break down. I'm likely
guessing he's going to break down that long, long press conference,
almost forty seven minutes worth
