Speaker 1 (00:01):
All right, thank you, Scott, China and glad you were
those news round up information overload hour. Well it's about
an hour later than they said. President Trump now at
the White House meeting with business leaders. Let's go to that.

Speaker 2 (00:13):
Writing the most successful first one hundred days of any
administration in American history. We're thrilled to welcome to the
White House dozens of the world top leaders of all kinds,
but in particular business leaders. And since the election, the
companies represented in this room have collectively announced more than
two trillion dollars in new investments, and we have a

(00:36):
total of close to eight trillion dollars all told. And
there's never been anything like that in this country. We've
never had anything close. I would say if you looked
at the last administration, probably for four years, they did
maybe less than one, and we've done almost eight.

Speaker 3 (00:54):
I would say we'll be above eight. In a period
of two months. Thing happened. I think two things. Two
things happened.

Speaker 2 (01:07):
November fifth happened, and November fifth gave you tariffs, intelligently
used tariffs and various other forms of incentive.

Speaker 3 (01:16):
But it's really amazing.

Speaker 2 (01:18):
There's never been I don't think there's ever been anything
like this anywhere in the world. Together, we're going to
bring back the most beautiful words I always say, made
in the USA, the most beautiful words.

Speaker 3 (01:28):
We're going to have made in.

Speaker 2 (01:28):
The USA like we haven't had before in a long time.
In addition to the business leaders who's companies, I will
mention just a moment, we have some great people.

Speaker 3 (01:39):
Great senators Marsha Marshall, where are you? Where are you? Martha?

Speaker 2 (01:44):
Martha Marcia, thank you very much, Marsha Blackburn, Bill Cassidy, Bill,
thank you, Bill Ashley Moody Ashley, thank you. And John
used that. John, thank you very much. And presentatives Byron
Donald's buddy Carter, Rob Whitman, Mark Alford, Mike Rogers, Richard Hudson,

(02:08):
and Abe Hammaday.

Speaker 3 (02:09):
Thank you all very much.

Speaker 2 (02:16):
We have Mike Keho, Governors Jim Pillen, Kevin Stitt, Mike Dunleavy,
along with numerous other members of my cabinet, and I
want to thank you all for being here. How come
my cabinet test such good locations. You should have given
them up to the business leaders. We want their money.
You know, they have a very good location. Some'm not surprised.

(02:40):
One hundred days ago. This week, we inherited the wreckage
of four years of economic disaster under the previous administration.

Speaker 3 (02:47):
It was an economic disaster.

Speaker 2 (02:49):
It was a disaster at the border like nobody had
ever seen before. And you probably see we've close up
the border ninety nine point nine.

Speaker 3 (02:59):
Percent, meaning three people got in.

Speaker 2 (03:01):
Three as opposed to hundreds of thousands of people coming
in on a monthly basis, millions of people. Actually, the
periods where we had millions and millions of people pouring
in on a monthly basis, we had three people. They
buried companies in crippling regulations, wage war on American energy,

(03:26):
pushed massive tax hikes, and gave us the worst inflation
in the history of our country. In Biden's final year,
the United States had the worst trade deficit ever recorded,
and we lost one hundred and six thousand manufacturing jobs.
Other than that, he's done a fantastic job. But now
all that is changing, and all that's changing very fast

(03:47):
because we finally have the president who wants to put
our country first. You have a president who believes in
America first. In the first quarter GDP numbers just out
today core GDP.

Speaker 3 (04:01):
Now we're removing.

Speaker 2 (04:03):
Distortions from imports, inventories, and government spending was up plus
three percent.

Speaker 3 (04:09):
But this is.

Speaker 2 (04:10):
Biden's economy because we took over on January twentieth, and
I think you have to get us a little bit
of time to get moving.

Speaker 3 (04:19):
But this is the Biden economy.

Speaker 2 (04:21):
But we still had a and we've had a lot
of things happened since November fifth that helped this economy
because it was indicating a strong private sector growth, and
it was only it only started after November fifth. The
private sector started really heating.

Speaker 3 (04:38):
Up after the election.

Speaker 2 (04:39):
Even though I wasn't there, people knew what we were
going to be doing, and the private sector growth was
actually very good. Very importantly, gross domestic investment was up
an incredible twenty two percent, which they had never seen before.
Every new investment, every new factory, and every new job
created is a sign of strength in American economy and

(04:59):
a declaration of confidence in America's future.

Speaker 3 (05:02):
We really do. We've never seen anything like this.

Speaker 2 (05:05):
Even Samsung, whose name isn't mentioned here, but I heard
that they announced this morning that they're going to be
building a very big plant because they want to be
able to beat the tariffs.

Speaker 3 (05:17):
That's steal a way to beat them.

Speaker 2 (05:19):
The entire Trump economic agenda is about making it easier
to do business in America, to create jobs in America,
to hire American workers, and to build your factories here
in America, not in China or any other country. And
we're dealing with many, many countries right now.

Speaker 3 (05:36):
I will say, and I think I can.

Speaker 2 (05:39):
Say for Scott and for Howard, and for some of
the people that are dealing they're too many to handle.
I mean, to be honest with you, I'd have to
hire about I'd love to hire some of the people
running these companies. What would you do? Would you do
a good job? They could have Jensen negotiate. He had
blow my people away.

Speaker 3 (05:57):
Wouldn't you.

Speaker 2 (05:58):
I think even Howard, even Howard would say that. Howard
would say he will take him. He'd blow them away
with big deals. One deal would be the end. That
would be it.

Speaker 3 (06:08):
Well, we've terminated the Green New scam. It was a
scam and.

Speaker 2 (06:13):
Halted tens of billions of dollars of money wasteful deficit spending.
It was like throwing money right out the window. And
in the coming weeks we'll pass the largest tax cuts
in American history. And I think even more so, we'll
be doing things for business like you've never seen before.
You saw it in a little smaller version at the

(06:35):
beginning of our last term. You know, we had the
most successful four years that any president has ever had.
The sock market was up eighty eight percent. The other
markets were up almost one hundred percent. And that's despite
COVID and all the crazy things happening. But we had
a tremendous we had a tremendous four years. We've given

(06:56):
credit for that. Actually, but our big Beautiful Bill, as
I called our Big Beautiful Bill we may name it,
that actually will include one hundred percent expensing retroactive to
January twentieth, So that's all the way back to just about.

Speaker 3 (07:12):
The beginning of the year.

Speaker 2 (07:13):
So expensing one year, you take a deduction one year,
so you can build your factories right now, essentially almost
tax free if you think about it.

Speaker 3 (07:23):
Nobody's ever been given that.

Speaker 2 (07:24):
And we're going to make that expensing for a four
year period at a full one hundred percent.

Speaker 3 (07:29):
So last time we made it one year.

Speaker 2 (07:31):
And you had the deductions you do from from one
hundred percent to eighty to sixty to forty to twenty
to Zippo. And now what we're going to do is
we're going to keep it at that level and we're
going to have it for four years. So I believe
that was one of the reasons that we had such
unbelievable growth. Also, we allowed you to bring money back

(07:51):
from outside of the country. It was impossible. You had
to have fifteen different law firms representing you. So complicated
and worse was that tax rate with sixty five percent.
I lowered the rate substantially, but still a lot. You know,
we shouldn't take your money just to hold you hostage
head so we lowered it to a reasonable amount, and

(08:12):
we took in trillions of dollars came back. Apple brought
in a tremendous amount of money. A lot of the
companies here brought in a lot of money. And the
business is represented today clearly understand that if you build
your factory in the United States, you're teriff rate is
zero zero and you have other advantages too, and not
the least of which is what I just said having

(08:33):
to do with the bill.

Speaker 3 (08:34):
Now, we have to get that bill approved.

Speaker 2 (08:35):
So call your local representative please and make sure that
we get it approved.

Speaker 3 (08:40):
Because I don't want to talk too early. But we're
doing well with the Republican Congress. We have.

Speaker 2 (08:44):
The Senate is doing great, and the House is doing great.
John Thune has been spectacular. Mike Johnson has been speaker,
has been spectacular. Marsha, you're in there working very hard
and doing well. What do you think we can get
it passed? We have to, Husha, we don't get it
pass I'm blaming you.

Speaker 3 (09:05):
We have to. We have to get it passed. We will.

Speaker 2 (09:10):
I think we will, but I don't think we'll have
any Democrat rus. If we don't get it passed. What
would happen is your taxes go up sixty eight percent,
to think of that, and we may not get one vote.

Speaker 3 (09:23):
Because they just vote against.

Speaker 2 (09:25):
It's Trump derangement syndrome, or maybe it's just they hate
Republicans or they hate what we're doing because they've lost
their confidence.

Speaker 3 (09:32):
They've totally lost their confidence. They don't know what.

Speaker 2 (09:36):
The hell is going on, and we are going to
get it done. It's probably going to be fully Republican. Fortunately,
we have the House, we have the Senate, and we
may or may not have a couple of grand standards.

Speaker 3 (09:49):
I don't know. But if we do, it would be good,
if you could work on anybody.

Speaker 2 (09:52):
I mean, if I were a Democrat, I'd be voting
for it one hundred percent, because I think it's very
dangerous politically not to vote for think of it, you
tax is go up almost sixty eight percent. But it
looks like we're in good shape, I think, and hopefully
we'll get it approved. It'll be the biggest bill ever
approved in the history of our country. And it'll be

(10:13):
the biggest tax cut ever approved in the history.

Speaker 3 (10:16):
Of our country.

Speaker 2 (10:16):
And in addition to that, regulations which I'm doing in
and outside of the bill, will be as big or
bigger than we did last time. We have the record
for regulation cuts in the four years we cut four
times higher than any other president in a four year period,
and we're talking about eight years and two term presidents.

Speaker 3 (10:40):
We were four.

Speaker 2 (10:42):
Times higher than any other president in terms of regulation cuts.
And I went to a friend of mine who happens
to be in the room, one of the biggest business leaders.

Speaker 3 (10:50):
I won't mention him because I don't know. Maybe he
like it. Maybe when I said to him, so, have
you had you choose between the big tax cut last.

Speaker 2 (10:57):
Time and the big regulation cut, which were the biggest, again,
the biggest we've ever done.

Speaker 3 (11:03):
I would have.

Speaker 2 (11:04):
Said taxes, but he would have said regulation. I said,
which was more important to you? Then he said I
could only have one. Yeah, if you could only have one,
he said, most important would have been regulation. The regulation
was more important than the tax cut. And I mean,
we cut your taxes from almost forty percent down to
twenty one percent. Now we're bringing your taxes down from

(11:24):
twenty one percent to fifteen percent. If you build your product,
make your product in the USA.

Speaker 3 (11:30):
So if you make it in the.

Speaker 2 (11:31):
USA, those chips, those beautiful chips, will make those suckers
in the USA, and you're going to be all the
way down to fifteen percent.

Speaker 3 (11:41):
And I think it's I think it's there's never been
anything like it.

Speaker 2 (11:44):
So now we're at the lowest scale for a large
country by far, at the lower scale. Our pro jobs,
pro American economic policies are major reason that businesses around
the world have announced five trillion dollars of investments since
November and now we think it's up to plus plus
eight trillion, and they're really coming and they're really coming

(12:06):
in fast. Some of them don't bother calling us. Some
of them don't even want meetings. They don't want They
just start their plants and start their factories. I want
to express my tremendous appreciation to the business leaders here.
You are really an amazing group. This is a who's who.
I don't want to say. You know, there's an expression

(12:27):
if something ever went off, the entire industry would be
wiped out.

Speaker 3 (12:31):
But I won't say that.

Speaker 2 (12:32):
I want to think very positively and that could never
happen here, could it. But I want to congratulate you
all on your incredible.

Speaker 3 (21:47):
There's a lot happening.

Speaker 4 (21:49):
We're excited about it. Mister President, Thank you for what

five hundred billion dollars with Oracle and Open AI.

Speaker 3 (22:37):
For a total of seven hundred billion. Thank you, marsters.
Come on, please.

Speaker 5 (22:44):
Please well, first time of Trump's administration, we made the
announcement commitment fifty billion dallas. We delive a seventy billion
dollars of a four years last time. This time, I

(23:05):
tried to commit one hundred billion dollars and President Trump said.

Speaker 3 (23:09):
Oh, Massa, go for more. So we did a two
hundred villion a commitment.

Speaker 5 (23:17):
And then right after that we soft bank open AI,
Oracle and MGX together we announced five hundred billion dollars investment.

Speaker 1 (23:28):
This is the.

Speaker 5 (23:29):
Largest investment for infrastructure in the United States investment and.

Speaker 3 (23:36):
I think this is more than the scale.

Speaker 5 (23:38):
This The importance is this is the largest infrastructure for
the AI, which is the future of mankind. I believe
it's going to change every industry, every way of how
our mankind's lifestyle of the future. I am committed US

(23:59):
is the center innovation. US must continue the leaders of A.

Speaker 3 (24:05):
Thank you very much, thank you, thank you, thank you
very much. Monsa. I've been a friend of mine for
a long time.

Speaker 2 (24:17):
These guys are mover. We got to say you are
really something that's great. We appreciate it too. It's a
great spirit, great genius. Tim Cook from Apple is pledging,
not only pledging, is committed to five hundred billion dollars.
They're going to build plants all over the country, seven

(24:38):
or eight different states.

Speaker 3 (24:39):
They've already started. And so I want to thank Tim.

Speaker 2 (24:43):
That's such a big investment for somebody that you know,
had him pretty much in one location. As you know,
now they're coming into the United States, I believe because
of the spirit and the tariffs and the incentives. So
that's Apple for five hundred billion dollars. And one of
the most brilliant men that you'll ever meet, the man

(25:05):
that's done in a short period of time something.

Speaker 3 (25:07):
That is incredible.

Speaker 2 (25:09):
He's the founder, CEO, and president of Navidia, Jensen Wong.
He's producing up to five hundred billion over the next
four years to manufacture the most powerful AI chips entirely
in the USA for the first time ever. Jensen, would
you come up and say a few words, this is
a smart cookie.

Speaker 3 (25:30):
Thank you, Thank you, mister President.

Speaker 6 (25:36):
That's a great honor to be here and video reinvented
computing for the first time after sixty years. In fact,
Ervin at IBM knows quite well that the computer has
largely been the same since the sixties. The IBM system
three sixty described really quite perfectly the computer that we

(25:56):
use today. Central processing units, operating system is, the separation
of hardware and software, IO, subsystems, multitasking. All of the
words that we use to describe computers today were really
invented in nineteen sixty four, a year after my birth. Well,
after all this time, we've reinvented computers again. This is
what a processor looks like. It's on the right there.

(26:17):
People say it's a GPU. That's one GPU unit and
it's seventy pounds, sixty thousand parts, ten thousand watts. In
order to manufacture it requires probably a couple of one
hundred companies in the supply chain. It is so heavy
that it requires robotics to do. It's so precise, and

(26:41):
just to test a supercomputer requires a supercomputer. And we're
going to build in videos technology the next generation of that.
All here in the United States without the President's leadership,
his policies, his support, and very importantly his strong encouragement,

(27:04):
and I mean his strong encouragement. Frankly, manufacturing United States
wouldn't have accelerated through this pace manufacturing. Manufacturing isn't about
low cost labor anymore. Manufacturing is about technology. And most
of the factories that build these systems today are the

(27:24):
most advanced factories in the future. And we're going to
use artificial intelligence and robotics and omniverse digital twin technology
to make it possible for us to create the factories
of the future.

Speaker 3 (27:35):
And we had to build it. We had to build
it right here.

Speaker 6 (27:37):
The really, the really amazing thing is that this computer
is the engine of a whole new industry. And this
new industry is called artificial intelligence. And this new industry
is a manufacturing industry in itself. That's a factory machine.
Just as several hundred years ago the dynamo was invented,

(28:00):
water would come in and electricity would come out. Now
electricity goes into this machine and incredible tokens come out
artificial intelligence. In order for this industry to thrive, we
need to build these systems, of course, but we also
need a progressive growth and industry oriented energy policy, which
this president has really put his way behind. And I

(28:22):
really appreciate that without energy, we can't possibly have new
growth industries. And we now have the backing of the administration,
the backing of President Trump, to support the creation of
a whole new industry. This industry is going to enable
a whole bunch of other industries. What we now call
the AI infrastructure is going to revolutionize every industry that

(28:44):
we know. All of the many CEOs in the room
today are great partners of ours.

Speaker 3 (28:50):
For that reason.

Speaker 6 (28:51):
We're working on artificial intelligence for many industries, from healthcare
to drug discovery, to life sciences, financial services, education, so
many different industries. And that's going to be possible because
we have the fundamental infrastructure here in the United States.

Speaker 3 (29:05):
And so I want to thank you, sir for everything
that you've done.

Speaker 6 (29:08):
And the strong encouragement and the great policies that make
it possible for us.

Speaker 3 (29:12):
Thank you so much. Jacks, another brilliant man.

Speaker 2 (29:23):
You know, we have brilliant people here, and we like
brilliant people actually, but we have a lot of brilliant
people in this group. And it's said honor to be
with you. Passed one hundred days. Have been fighting to
reclaim our jobs and bring our country back to a
level that it's never seen before and again renew the

(29:45):
American dream, which is what we're doing. We have tremendous spirit.
I don't know if you've heard, but become really quite
a story. I see peats right over here. Secretary of Defense.
We have the largest number of new enlist ease or
people enlisting in the military forces that we've ever had.

(30:07):
And if you remember six months ago, we couldn't get
anybody to sign up.

Speaker 3 (30:11):
That's a big turn in a very short period of time.

Speaker 2 (30:14):
And November fifth had a lot to do with that,
and our Secretary of Defense and a lot of the
people that you see sitting here really had a lot
to do with that.

Speaker 3 (30:23):
There's great spirit. I can say that.

Speaker 2 (30:25):
Also with the police forces throughout the country, we're having
a hard time filling them up, a dangerous job.

Speaker 3 (30:32):
But now we have waiting lists.

Speaker 2 (30:34):
At almost every place, and that's an amazing accomplishment. When
you think it's amazing. And when I first came here,
you remember just three months ago, I came in and
they started screaming. The fake news was screaming. They were

(30:56):
going crazy about eggs. I don't know about eggs. What's
with eggs?

Speaker 3 (30:59):
Tell me?

Speaker 2 (31:00):
They said they're cost is up fifty percent and you
won't have them for Easter. They said, well, I'll have
to get on to it. But this isn't my problem.
This is Biden's problem. I've only been here for four days.
They're screaming at me about eggs like it was my
fourth I just got here, didn't know anything about it.
We got it taken care of, and eggs dropped eighty

(31:20):
seven percent in the last short period of time, and
everybody had eggs for Easter. In fact, we had a
big Easter egg hunt on the lawns. We had forty
four forty eight thousand people actually camp and we had
a lot of eggs. I don't know how many, but
there were a lot. We didn't use plastic. They said,
could you use plastic eggs? This is in early January.
Then I see our secretary of agricultures here, would you

(31:42):
stand up.

Speaker 3 (31:43):
You did a great job. You got me out of
a lot of trouble. Brook Rollins.

Speaker 2 (31:50):
She got me out of a lot because they were
trying to blame me for eggs and I didn't know
anything about it yet explained it to me.

Speaker 3 (31:55):
But we had plenty of eggs, Brook right for Easter.
There was no dearth.

Speaker 2 (32:01):
And we have another man in the audience who's maybe
the most important man in the room because he's the
head of the Environmental Protection Agency, meaning he's the one
that approves all your plants. And when Jensen and some
of the others came in about numerous of the others,
especially having to do with AI they.

Speaker 3 (32:21):
Came in, I learned a lot.

Speaker 2 (32:24):
Number one, I learned we need double the electricity that
we have right now for the whole country, and really
more than that, I mean two times would be even better.

Speaker 3 (32:32):
It was like unlimited thirst for electricity. And at first
I said, you.

Speaker 2 (32:39):
Know, how is that possible? But that's whatever it is.
It's possible. That machine that you say you can barely
lift is I guess it sucks up a lot of energy.

Speaker 3 (32:49):
But we need more than double what we have right now.

Speaker 2 (32:53):
So you take all of the energy, even the energy
in this beautiful incredible But.

Speaker 3 (32:57):
Is this the greatest?

Speaker 2 (32:58):
I mean, no matter, I don't care what you come
from with you fifty billion dollar plant. The White House
is the White House, right You got to see in
the Oval Office. If you want to take a trip
down to the Oval Office, and if you come down
with me, I'll show you a beautiful office. It'll blow
your beautiful offices away. They'll stop, and they'll say for
a lot of other reasons, but it is. It's a

(33:18):
beautiful place. And if you want to, I'm serious, you
can do that. But I told Jensen, I told Tim,
I told everybody that's building these very big, incredible plants,
really plants of the future. They were talking about hooking
into the grid. I said, well, you know, the grid
is old and it's subject to mishap. Things can happen,

(33:40):
including storms, and much worse than storms. And if you want,
I'll let you build your own utility plant, your own
electric plant along with your building. You can build it
inside of the plant, or you can build it outside
of the plant. And I went to Lee's elden right here,
and I said, Lee, we got to get fair approvals

(34:00):
for these people.

Speaker 3 (34:01):
You know, they're going to do the best job.

Speaker 2 (34:02):
They're going to have the best, the best engineers, the
best everything would like to have them build. They're electric
for them, they don't have to go outside. You become
a utility, you become a great producer of electric and
if you have any extra, you put it back into
the grid.

Speaker 3 (34:17):
If you want, or you sell it back in, but
you're going to be able to build.

Speaker 2 (34:21):
So this way, we don't have to worry about do
we have enough, because if you look at California, they
have brownouts, blackouts and everything else.

Speaker 3 (34:28):
They don't know what the hell they're doing. Governor doesn't
have a clue.

Speaker 2 (34:31):
But the last thing you want to do is be
hooking up to the California grid so that we can
go in and you'll say, gee, we have to close
down the factory for a couple of days.

Speaker 3 (34:40):
We have a little brown out going on. So you're
going to be able to build your own, your own.

Speaker 2 (34:45):
Plant then produce as much electric as your beautiful heart's desire.
And that'll be something that nobody's done before. And we're
going to ask Lee to get those approved very quickly,
and he'll get it before you can even imagine.

Speaker 3 (35:03):
He's great. He's great. He knows the difference. You know,
you can take years to get those approved.

Speaker 2 (35:08):
I would say previous to us that would be years
and years, or you could take weeks to ge out
of approved and it'll be just as good. But they
don't play games, and they're going to get it done
and they'll get it done very quickly. So that's going
to be a big help because you're gonna have unlimited energy,
unlimited electricity, and I think it's gonna really we want
to stay number one.

Speaker 3 (35:29):
We were number one right now by a lot.

Speaker 2 (35:32):
I will say this, if I didn't get elected, I
would say, get out of the AI business fast, get
out of all business fasts. Probably maybe get out of
the country fast. Because this country was heading in the
wrong direction. But now it's heading in the right direction.
I think it's I think it's the most consequential hundred
days in the history of our country in certain ways.

Speaker 3 (35:50):
We had an.

Speaker 2 (35:51):
Editorial for some from a group that normally wouldn't give
good editorials to people like me, and they said, he's
the most consequential president because of what he's doing with
all of these policies that you're reading about, long beyond
the electricity and the plants, having to do with many other.

Speaker 3 (36:10):
Things like secure borders and all of the many many
things I could I could go down and name them.

Speaker 2 (36:18):
We're going to be getting tremendous amounts of drug and
pharmaceutical companies.

Speaker 3 (36:24):
Going to be pouring into the country.

Speaker 2 (36:26):
They're gonna have to they're going to have to, and
we're going to give them a lot of time to
do it. But after that, it's going to be a
tariff wall put up, and they won't be happy about it.
But they'll be happy if they start building right now.
Right now, it's going to be built, and after a
certain period of time, it's going to get tough for tougher, tougher,
and then it's going to be real hard to do
business in this country. So for the pharmaceutical companies, chip companies,

(36:50):
a lot of different companies, we're all set to really grow.
Groceries are down. The grocery prices down. Gasoline prices are down.
We had some gasoline selling for one dollar and ninety
eight cents a gallon just recently in three different states.

Speaker 3 (37:12):
Over the last two days. It was at four dollars,
and it was higher than that. In some place it
was over five dollars.

Speaker 2 (37:20):
We have it way down. Energy prices are down all
over the country. Mortgage rates are actually down slightly. Even
though I have a guy in the FED that I'm
not a huge fan of, but that's all right, he's
a minor details. Don't tell them, I said that, please.
As the cameras rock and roll back. There no just
I mean, he should reduce the he should reduce interest rates.
I think I understand interest a lot better than him

(37:43):
because I've had to really.

Speaker 3 (37:44):
Use interest rates. But we should have interest rates go down.

Speaker 2 (37:48):
It would be positive, But it's not going to matter
that much because ultimately what we're creating has much more
to do with other things than it does just pure
interest rates. But it would be nice for people wanting
to buy homes and things of the prescription drug prices
just saw the largest monthly decline ever recorded. So David,

(38:11):
I'm having a little bit of an impact, at least
on you as I just browbeat. I browbeat this guy
and he's got the nice He looks like he's twenty
five years old.

Speaker 3 (38:18):
He has this.

Speaker 2 (38:19):
Massive company Eli Lilly, and it has no impact on
him whatsoever. But I just see this number just came out.
It's the largest monthly decline ever recorded.

Speaker 3 (38:31):
Yeah, it's probably about two percent.

Speaker 2 (38:33):
You know. They did that to make me feel a
little bit better, but I appreciate it. We have achieved
the lowest number of illegal border crossings in US history,
and we're at a level that nobody thought we could
get to in two years, let alone a couple of months.
And I think Christine Home is here someplace whereas Kristy
she's here and stand up Crestor.

Speaker 3 (38:56):
And Tom Holman.

Speaker 2 (38:59):
And I see Linda. Stand up, Linda. You are doing
so good education. We're bringing education back to the States
where it belongs. And she's been incredible. She's very upset
with Harvard. They have fifty three billion dollars in a
fund and yet they want more grants and it looks

(39:20):
like we're not going to be giving them any more grants,
right Linda, And you know, a grant is at our discretion,
and they're they're really not behaving well.

Speaker 3 (39:29):
So it's too bad.

Speaker 2 (39:30):
But our country is roaring like never before. Nobody's ever
really seen anything like this. And again, the big thing
is whether it's eight trillion or even more than that.
By the end of the year, it could be a
number that would be I think it's already there's never
been anything like it. But this is in a period
of couple of months. I think by the end of

(39:51):
the year, the numbers will be just staggering. It's really
it's really going to be something very special, and I'm
very honored to be with you, and I'd ask I
anybody has any questions? Please, this is your time. This
is your time. You'll be live on television. All the
fake news back there now. That'll keep them down, right,
that's the way to keep them down, unless they're bad people,

(40:14):
unless they want to make some news. Would anybody have
any questions? Anybody business leaders? You want to know anything
about depreciation?

Speaker 3 (40:22):
No, I love it. We've done such a good job.

Speaker 2 (40:25):
We don't have to take Would Howard would you like
to say a couple of words?

Speaker 3 (40:29):
Please?

Speaker 7 (40:38):
The President talks about eight trillion dollars coming into America,
and there's only one reason it's coming in. It's because
he's finally set an industrial policy for the United States.

Speaker 3 (40:51):
From America, we have the greatest economy in the world.

Speaker 7 (40:54):
We finally have the president who understands that we need
to reindustrialize.

Speaker 3 (40:59):
We need to be made in America, made in the USA.
And you feel it.

Speaker 7 (41:04):
You feel it with these leaders, you feel it across
all your peers. Everyone feels it. It's coming back to
America and we are going to be rocking.

Speaker 3 (41:12):
So thank you, Serchie, great job, So thank you.

Speaker 2 (41:18):
Very much everybody, And for the business leaders of any
of you would like to come down to the Oval
and say, he love.

Speaker 3 (41:24):
If you've never seen it. If you have seen it,
just go home and enjoy your lives.

Speaker 2 (41:27):
Count your money. But if you'd like to come down,
I'm heading down there now. And again, thank you very much, everybody. Pam,
you're doing a fantastic job. You're doing a fantastic job.
Thank you very much. Thank you, everybody.

Speaker 3 (41:40):
Thank you.

Speaker 1 (41:46):
H Right, President Trump with business leaders at the White House.
And you know, the one thing that has not been
highlighted by anybody in the state run legacy media mob
is just how much money and committed investment and manufacturing
for this country has been made the President announcing a
lot of it and having a lot of those business

(42:07):
leaders in the in the at the White House today,
and I think it's just good for America. Anyway, let's
get back to our phones, because Wayne and Tennessee wants
to agree with Linda. I've been waiting for this call forever.
What's up?

Speaker 3 (42:21):
Wayne?

Speaker 1 (42:21):
Thanks for your patience.

Speaker 8 (42:25):
Sean, everything that you're saying is dead on. But Linda,
it's all about you right now. Because I was driving home.

Speaker 1 (42:31):
Oh my god, you're such a suck up. You know what,
why are you sucking up showing on?

Speaker 8 (42:36):
I checking up. I just got to say, I come
from New Jersey. I haven't been there in years. But
we're going back to Florida because we're correcting what we did.
But Linda, I was driving home and I heard you
talking about stuff with your New York accent, and all
of a sudden you went tough noogies, and I thought
I was going to lose control of the car. I

(42:58):
haven't heard that since I was high school.

Speaker 1 (43:02):
You know, my problem isnt is from high school.

Speaker 7 (43:06):
No, it's because I'm trying not to curse on the
Shawn is a family friendly program.

Speaker 1 (43:10):
Sir a family friendly program?

Speaker 8 (43:13):
Yes, family friendly friendly program. And you you know, and
even though I've been at a New Jersey for a
long time, I still say coffee here, Gourse.

Speaker 1 (43:22):
It's the way it should be Wayne, all right. And
then everybody you meet when you're down in Florida says,
where in New York are you from?

Speaker 3 (43:27):
Exactly?

Speaker 1 (43:29):
You know exactly where you're from. We'll at the northeast.
I love New Yorkers to think that they're not from
New York. It's funny. It is funny, very very funny
like you. Oh I'm very funny.

Speaker 3 (43:43):
Oh you're from.

Speaker 1 (43:44):
New York and you try to deny it. That's what
it is. I don't deny it. I mean, I'm just
I escape from New York. But by five years in
Rhode Island, five years in California, two years in Alabama,
four years in Georgia, now two years at full time
in Florida, I mean, I am out of New York.
I chose to leave. And the best decision I ever

(44:05):
made was getting out of there the first time and
the second time. Listen, just like throwing a young man
and he can't turn into a woman. Then New York
was born into you all your life, and you're going
to be gone. I exercised it. It's done. It's like
a demon gone. And that's it for today. Hannity Tonight,
nine Eastern City a VR. Great show tonight. We'll see

(44:27):
you then back here tomorrow. Thank you for making this
show possible.
