It's nice to be with you

Welcome to the final cabinet meeting of 2025

A year that will go down as the most consequential and successful first year of any administration

They're saying that not me

Oh, I say too actually, but a lot of people are saying it and a lot of that is thanks to the men and women in the cabinet.

We're the new and improved cabinet room, I might add

We took pictures down from the vaults

We've all downstairs with lots of pictures that haven't been exposed to the world for in many cases over a hundred years

We brought them up and we're using them as they should be used.

But uh the cabinet room looks beautiful like it should now

The Oval Office looks beautiful like it should

It was not

It was like the rest of the country

It was in disrepair

One year ago, our country was dead

Then said to me by many leaders, we had a dead country

Now we have the hottest country anywhere in the world

It's true.

The hottest country anywhere in the world

Think of that

In four long years of the Biden administration, there were just $1 trillion of new investments in the United States in 10 months

We've secured commitments of over $18 trillion

So they had in one year less than they had less than $1 trillion

That's in a period of four years.

Think of it

four years they had less than a trillion

In 10 months we have more than 18 trillion

Is that right, Scott

It's even going to be higher than that. >> It'll be higher by >> and going up. >> And we're waiting for the Supreme Court case

And it's so important and so vital for this country because we're not only respected again, we're putting out wars by our trade policies.

And we're taking in hundreds of billions of dollars and our country is wealthy again and secure again

and it's part of national security and I hope that goes well

I think it's very important

But think of the number

We're going to be over 18 trillion dollars in 10 months

And uh which is a record times probably eight or 10 times, I think more than that for any country.

There's never been a country that's had that kind of an investment ever in history

And there's never been a country that's had half of that

It's uh a tremendous thing that's taking place

We have uh companies moving in from all over the world, from Mexico, from Canada, from Europe, from China, from uh Japan a lot.

We just had Toyota is going to spend 10 billion dollars, they just announced, on building new plants in this country

Our workers, they're going to be our workers, but they're spending a tremendous amount

So, the stock market has set 46 all-time highs, and this last Friday, which is called Black Friday, was the biggest ever online sales that there's ever been by a lot.

More Americans are working today than at any time in the history of our country

I mean, these are the facts we have to get out

And you know, there's this fake narrative that the Democrats talk about affordability

They just say the word

It doesn't mean anything to anybody

Just say it

affordability.

I inherited the worst inflation in history

There was no affordability

Nobody could afford anything

The prices were massively high

Do you remember when we took over eggs

You did a great job on that, Madam Secretary

Agriculture Brooke

Uh [clears throat] eggs were four or five times higher than they had ever been.

We They said don't order eggs for Easter at the White House

And we ended up doing it

And we got the egg prices way down, lower than what they were before

But the word affordability is a conj job by the Democrats

They say afford I watched the other day where some very low IQ congresswoman talked about uh affordability, affordability, affordability.

She had no idea their prices were much higher

As an example, energy, gasoline, we're now at about $2.50 a gallon

We're going to be, I think, at $2 a gallon

We could even crack that at some point

I'd love to do it, but and we could do it more easily if we weren't building up the strategic national reserves, which Biden emptied out before the election so that he could try and get elected.

Mean meaning she he started it, then he got thrown out of the race

Then she took over and she kept it going

And they emptied out these strategic national reserves, which are really meant for something else

They're not meant to keep people happy with their gasoline price

They're meant for war

They're meant for problems, big problems.

He emptied it out and then she continued it during the process of trying to get elected

Didn't work out too well for him and they virtually brought it down to the lowest level I believe in history

And uh it didn't have much of an impact because the prices were very high

But our prices now for energy but for gasoline are really low.

Electricity is coming down

And when that comes down, everything comes down

But the word affordability is a Democrat scam

They say it and then they go on to the next subject and everyone thinks, "Oh, they had lower prices." No, they had the worst inflation in the history of our country

Now, some people will correct me because I always love to correct me even though I'm right about everything.

But some people like to correct me and they say 48 years

I say it's not 48 years

It's much more

what they say it's the worst inflation that we've had in 48 years

I say ever

But whether it's 48 years or ever, it's pretty bad

We had the worst inflation that we've ever had

Since last January, we've stopped inflation in its tracks.

And there is still more to do

There's always more to do, but we have it down to a very good level

It's going to go down a little bit further

You want to have a little tiny bit of inflation

Otherwise, that's not good either

Then you have a thing called deflation

And deflation can be worse than inflation.

But we have it almost will soon be at a perfect level

But we inherited the worst inflation

But we have 20 states that are now selling gasoline at less than the $2.75

I think of that $2.75

and it was at $5 under Sleepy Joe

Grocery prices are down with the cost of Thanksgiving turkey this year down 33%

It was lower than uh 33% lower than under the Biden administration.

Egg prices are way down 86%

Thank you

And mortgage rates, despite the fact that we have an incompetent chairman of the Fed, a real dope uh who should reduce rates

I saw even Jamie Diamond said he should be reducing rates

I never saw Jaime Diamond say that

I wonder why he said that, but he really said it because he's right.

But we have a guy that's just a stubborn ox who probably doesn't like your president, your favorite president

But uh they're going to be coming down

We'll be announcing somebody uh probably early next year for the new chairman of the Fed

I talked to Scott about taking the job and he doesn't want it. [laughter] >> You got the greatest job here.

>> Yes, sir. >> Right

He said, "No, I want to stay chairman

I want to stay

I want to stay right where we are

Treasury." Uh, and I think we're doing really great, aren't we? >> We're doing great, sir

It's a great team to be part of. >> Yeah

No, it's amazing

under my executive order to lower prescription drug prices, which I think is the single biggest thing we've ever done that nobody writes about because you're fake news.

I've made unprecedented deals along with Bobby and Oz and all of the people that work on it

A lot of people, a lot of people that you wouldn't even think work on it, but they do to slash drug prices by 200%, 300%, 400%, 500%, 600%, 700%, 800%

Nobody's ever heard of it before because I instituted favored nations and no nation agreed to do it.

And then I said to the nations, if you're not going to do it, I'm going to charge you 100% tariff, which is more money than we're talking about

And they said, "Sir, we'd love to do it

Please, we would be honored to do it." And they agreed that they would uh go along with the whole thing

Nobody Nobody thought you could do it because they a they felt number one, you couldn't get the drug companies to do it.

So, we're paying as an example for the let's go with the fat drug

The fat drug fat for fat people

Uh, anybody use it at the table

Don't ask. [laughter] But the fat drug was $135

Think of that

Uh, for certain people, $1,300 for certain countries, $1,300 in New York

So, in New York it was $1,300 and in London it was $135

And a friend of mine called me.

He said, "What is this

Why is it?" He got used to paying $1,300

Well, now what we have it down to is Bobby, what's the number like $150 or something

We have it down to a low number, don't we? >> Yeah, it's around$125. >> Yeah, think of that

So, we got it down from $1,300 to $125 to $140 depending on various countries.

In other words, we're paying the lowest price tied for the lowest price in the world

And people said you could never do that because you couldn't get the countries to agree to it

I did

Every country agreed to it because I said, "If you're not going to agree to it, that's okay

I'm going to charge you tariffs.

" And as soon as I said that, they said, "We agree." And then we had to be a little tough with the drug companies, but they came along

The bigger problem was the countries

The countries just wouldn't go along with it, but they did

Every country

So we have reduced drug prices by 500, 600, 700, 800, 900%

Depending on the drug, depending on the company, depending on all of the different factors involved.

Nobody's ever even thought of drug reductions like that, price reductions

And I told you the story that in my first term I was so proud of myself because I reduced drugs

It was the first time in 28 years that drug prices were reduced was one quarter of 1%

One quarter of 1%

And I was so proud of myself.

I said it's the first time in 28 years that drug prices went down over the course of a year over the course of a presidency

One year, one quarter of 1% I had a news conference

I was so proud

Now I got him down not one quarter of 1%

I got him down 400, 500, 600% and more

And the fake news won't write about it

And it's going to have a huge impact on healthcare because a big part of it buying drugs, buying prescription drugs, drugs.

It's going to have a huge positive impact because Obamacare is a disaster

I said it years ago and I say it now

And the money should be paid taken away from the insurance company

Obamacare was made to make the insurance companies rich

Their stocks have gone up a thousand% in a short period of time because the money goes to the insurance company.

I want the money to go to the people

Let all the money go to the people and let the people go out and buy their own healthcare

And I see on television people are advertising now, we will help you buy health care

we will go out and help you buy

That's becoming like an industry because of what I said

So, something's going to happen.

It's probably not going to be easy because the Democrats, frankly, uh they don't want to make a good deal for the people

They just want to make a bad deal for the country

They want to make a bad deal for the Republican party

But the Republican party is is united

And I will say that what I would like to do is the money.

Does it go

Trillions of dollars get paid to drug companies and you still have lousy health care

Obamacare is horrible health care

We wanted to go to the people and then let the people go out and buy their own health care and they'll do great

They'll do great

So, we're negotiating that now with the Democrats.

Well, congressional Democrats want the largest tax hike in history

I proudly signed the largest tax cuts in American history with the great big beautiful bill

The great big beautiful bill, the biggest piece of legislation ever signed

And that includes the extension of the original Trump tax cuts

But it's the biggest tax cut ever signed.

And it includes no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, and no tax on social security

Nobody's ever seen anything like it

So think of that

And in addition, you get if you buy a car, this is great for our car industry because we have a lot of car plants

We're bringing back the automobile business. 60% of it was stolen because we had incompetent presidents or incompetent trade people, but 60% of it was stolen over the years and now we're bringing I think we're bringing it all back.

I think we'll be bigger than ever than we've ever been in the auto business

That's not even to mention AI where we're leading China

You know, we're leading China by a lot

They're not going to catch us

We have to be smart, but if we're smart, they're not going to be able to catch us

They know that

They told me that.

Next year is projected to be the largest tax refund season ever

And we're going to be giving back refunds out of the tariffs because we've taken in literally trillions of dollars

And we're going to be giving uh a nice uh dividend to the people in addition to reducing debt

We as you know I inherit a lot of debt but uh it's peanuts compared to the kind of numbers we're talking about.

So we're going to be making a dividend to the people and uh additionally we're going to be able to reduce debt and as time goes by over the next two three four years those numbers are going to go up and I believe that at some point in the not too distant future you won't even have income tax to pay because the money we're taking in is so great.

is so enormous that you're not going to have income tax to pay

Whether you get rid of it or just keep it around for fun or have it really low, much lower than it is now, but you won't be paying income tax

We've slashed $1 trillion in costly job killing regulations, saving Americans an estimated $2,100 for a family of four.

Uh the Biden administration was the exact opposite, but times four

They went up $6,000

We went down $2,100

Think of that

To bring down energy, electricity, and utility prices, I ended the Green New Scam

They call it the Green New Scam

One of the greatest scams in the history of our country.

They talked about global warming and all the crap and uh what they've done to this country

what they've done by allowing 25 million people into our country, many of whom are criminals, many of whom 11,888 are murderers, and we have to get them out

And we're doing it

We're doing it

I think what what the job that our law enforcement groups are doing, Christy, you and Tom, and everybody, amazing.

What you're doing is amazing

I terminated the insane electrical electric vehicle mandate and uh look some people that make electric cars weren't happy with that but we have to do that because you have to have a choice whether it's a gasoline powered car and we have so much gasoline you know China doesn't have gasoline we do and uh whether it's a hybrid which really are working really well the combination of electric and and gasoline driven, but we uh you know, everybody was supposed to by 2030, everybody had

to own an electric car under the Biden stupidity, and not everybody wants to do that

I like electric cars

I like all cars

They're all good

They all have reasons, but you want to be able to go and buy what you want

I impose historic tariffs that are now bringing in so much money that we've never, nobody's ever seen anything like it.

and countries that were ripping us off, including allies, but they were ripping us off for years

I won't use the names

I won't mention Japan

I refuse to mention South Korea

I will not mention names

But they were ripping us off like nobody's ever been ripped off before and taking horrible advantage of your country.

But now we're making a lot of money

We're making a lot of money because of the tariffs that are pouring in

And it's really national security among everything else

It's national security

We've also rapidly turned the worst border crisis in world history

I believe we had the worst border ever in history

I don't care if you had a fourth world country.

You know, we allow third world country in

We would allow fourth world war countries in also

It doesn't matter

There was never a border that was as bad as our border

We allowed anybody in with no checks, no vetting

So, we've rapidly turned the worst border crisis in world history into the strongest border in the history of our country and probably one of the strongest borders in the history of the world because we have nobody coming through.

And I want to thank our people, the border patrol is so amazing, ICE, and I want to thank the military for the backup because they're standing right behind them

And that was really nasty for a period of months and now it's no longer nasty

Now they don't even come up

Nobody comes up

It's an easy job

I've made your job a lot easier because they know they're not going to get through.

And we take people in, but they have to come in legally

For six months in a row, zero illegal aliens have been admitted into the United States

You believe that

Zero

We had millions of people coming in a year

Millions

Now we have zero for six months

And these are given by radical left people that do the numbers.

I mean, they're not doing me any favor

That's they're being on

We don't have we don't have our net numbers are unbelievable

But we had zero people in the last 6 months illegal border crossings along the US Mexico border and plummeted to the lowest level ever recorded ever recorded

And nobody talks about that anymore

You know, it's crazy.

They don't talk about it

They You think they'd say, "Well, Trump's done a great job in the border

This country is being destroyed by the border

But you always find something new

Like, is he in good health

Biden was great, but is Trump in good health

I [laughter] sit here

I sit here

I do news four news conferences a day.

I ask questions from very intelligent lunatics

You people

And I always get I give the right answers

There's never a scandal

There's never a problem

I give you answers that solve your little problems

You go back and you can't find anything, but you do you do stories about Biden was in wonderful health

The guy could didn't do a news conference for eight months.

If I go one day, I had one day where I didn't do a news conference

There's something wrong with the president. [laughter] You people are crazy

I'll let you know when there's something wrong

There will be someday that's going to happen to all of us

But right now, I think I'm sharper than I was 25 years ago

But who the hell knows

I took, by the way, I took my physical

I got all A's, everything.

But they said to me, "Would you like to take a cognitive test?" I said, "Is it hard?" [laughter] They said, "Yes." I said, "Well, I'm a very smart person

Who was the last president to take one?" No president has ever agreed to tech because uh when you get into the mid questions meaning you know 10 question number 10 11 12 28 30 they get harder and harder and uh they said would you like to do it

I said well no reason to do it.

Nobody's ever done it

I'll do it maybe but there's really no reason

They said, "Sir, the problem is this is Walter Reed Hospital and that's a military hospital and that means that things are, you know, sort of open

It's not like private where you have if you do poorly

Uh, we'll uh have to probably you'll you'll find out.

" They said, "I won't do poorly

I'm a smart person, not a stupid person." And as [clears throat] the doctor will tell you, I aced it

Right, Susie

I aced

I got every question right

And these are tough questions

These are questions that I would say 99% of the people that I'm talking to right now, meaning the people the from the fake news would not do well in those exams.

But I'm the only one that took it

I got every single question right

And then I read in the New York Times, is Trump sharp

Trump is sharp

But they're not sharp

That's why they're going out of business

The New York Times that they're losing so much money it's ridiculous

They're a bunch of fakers.

But we have uh we can never let another thing happen like what happened to us with a fake election with a rigged election where a guy like Joe Biden assumes the presidency because a man was grossly incompetent and he was incompetent 30 years ago but he was really incompetent for those last few years and our country was put at great danger because of it.

So for six months in a row, we had zero people

Illegal border crossings along the US Mexico border have plummeted to the lowest level ever, ever, ever

Think of that

And uh the net benefit to our country is enormous, incalculable

America is strong and respected again on the world stage

We're really respected.

In fact, I went to a NATO and they were calling me the president of Europe

Uh we're doing very well

We have a a lot of respect

As you know, we have a problem with a war that our people are trying to settle now with Russia and Ukraine

Um we are not involved in the war monetarily anymore

Biden gave away $350 billion like it was candy.

That's a massive amount of money

And uh much of it in cash, a lot of it in equipment

I don't give away anything

We sell the equipment to NATO

The European nations pay us for the equipment 100% price and then they bring it to Ukraine or whatever they do with it

But we're trying to get that settled

I've settled eight wars

This would be the ninth.

And our people are over in Russia right now to see if we can get it settled

Not an easy situation, let me tell you what a mess

It's a war that ne never would have happened if I were president

Not even a chance

And it didn't happen for four years

We've renamed the Department of Defense the Department of War.

And I thought that would be controversial

And frankly, I tell you what, I haven't met one person

There's not one person I've met that doesn't like it

You know, think of it

We won World War I, World War II, everything in between, everything before it

And then we said, "Let's change the name.

" So, we changed it back to what it was

Department of War and Pete's doing a great job

We ended eight wars

Think of that

Eight wars

But we're going to do one more

I think

I hope

I hope

Every time I end a war, they say if if President Trump ends that war, he's going to get the Nobel Prize if I end that war.

Well, he won't get it for that war

But if he ever gets it for the next war, now they're saying if he ever ends the war with Russia and Ukraine, he's going to get the Nobel Prize

What about the other eight wars

India, Pakistan

Think of think of all the wars I ended

I should get the Nobel Prize for every war, but I don't want to I don't want to be greedy.

Uh actually, the woman who got the Nobel Prize said, "You've got to be kidding

Trump [clears throat] deserves the Nobel Prize." That was very nice of her

I appreciate it

Which is true, actually

But I don't care about that

You know what I care about

I care about death

I care about all the people that are dying.

And last month, 27,000 young people died

Mostly young people, mostly soldiers, despite some missiles being shot into Kiev and other places

But think of it, mostly young people. 27,000 people died between Russia and Ukraine last month

What a shame

So, we're resing law and order to our cities and towns.

If you look at what's happened and I want to pay my deepest respects to those two incredible people from the National Guard in West Virginia they came from

I spoke to their parents

Uh Sarah is gone

She passed away

She's looking down on us now and she loves her parents and they loved her

They they were somebody said how are they doing

Said the word is devastated doing.

How are they going to do

They're devastated

the rest of their lives, they're going to be devastated

She was an incredible person, highly respected, top of her class, everything

She was like a perfect human being, 20 years old, just started

She was like a baby

She was so proud

They were giving her a promotion and she told the parents that she was getting her promotion and they were so proud of her.

Then they get a call that this happened

And we have one young man who's fighting for his life

He's fighting very hard

I think he's probably doing better than anybody

And they they said he he didn't have a chance

I'll tell you the one who said he's going to live is his mother

He spoke to his mother

Sir, he's going to live.

I spoke to her very soon after this horrible event took place with this scum that is able to come into our country

Uh I spoke to his mother

Sir, he's he's going to be okay

I'm telling you, no doctor thought that

Nobody thought that

He was hit in bad places and she was like so positive

It was incredible

And it's possibly right, Pam

Right

Possibly right.

Boy, it would be amazing if he lives

It would be amazing

A miracle, actually

But, uh, we're very proud of those two people

We're very proud of the National Guard

We're very proud of our military and our police and our firemen and women

Uh if you go back and take a look a year ago, year and a half ago, it all changed I think on November 5th, the day of the election.

But you go back before that, you couldn't get people to join the military

Pete, right

They didn't want anything to do with military

They wanted nothing to do with joining the police or the fire

They wanted nothing to do with anything

They had no spirit

The country was it had no spirit

Nothing

And now we just had the highest recruitment in history.

[snorts] And uh we're getting great people

We're getting great people

And I will say despite what just happened, Washington DC has become a really safe place

And I guess this lunatic probably was up upset that the National Guard is so effective because we were really really effective

And we are.

And Washington DC is now considered a very very safe city

We had crime numbers a year ago that was so bad embarrassment that the city the capital of of this country could be have numbers like that and Washington now is uh I mean no murders no this it's it's been a miracle also what happened here and now we're in Memphis and we're going to New Orleans pretty soon over then the governor called me he'd like to have us go there Governor Landry great guy great governor He's asked for help in New Orleans and we're going to go there in a couple of

weeks and uh we're doing a real job

Even Chicago's down a little bit because if we [clears throat] have a minor force there, we could knock it down within four or five weeks

We could bring it down to almost nothing

But we have a governor that's grossly incompetent

And we have a mayor that's even more incompetent than the governor.

Very He's a very low IQ person

And typically low IQ people don't make good mayors

So I want to thank all of our cabinet members

They're high IQ

Let me see one

Yeah

Generally speaking, a couple I'm a little concerned about. [laughter] No, but I want to thank we have a great cabinet, amazing cabinet, amazing people.

All of them, you know, sort of have become stars

We're getting credit for the good cabinet actually

And I just want to wish everybody a great holiday

We we've uh I think done a great job with the White House bringing the White House back

You see the Palm Court that was redone

Uh the Lincoln bedroom was redone

The Lincoln bathroom is now gorgeous like it should have been.

It was terrible green tile that was never the way it was supposed to be

It was done in the 1940s actually, but it was not not proper and it's we're restoring the White House just like we're restoring the country and people are thrilled

But we uh the first lady's done a beautiful job with the Christmas trees and all the decorations.

I see the wreaths on the windows

I've never seen that before on the windows of the White House and you know it's four stories high

I said, "How did they get that wreath?" They had people going up in a uh a little dangerous I wouldn't want to do it but they put them up and we have wonderful people working in the White House and they're really proud to bring the building back because this building was a little bit like the country.

It was mishandled

It was mistreated and now it's being given love and we're building one of the great I think maybe the greatest ballroom

We needed it for 150 years

they've been asking

You see the the trucks and cranes and excavators in the background and you hear them

And every time I hear them, I love the sound

To me, I love the sound.

I wouldn't say my wife is thrilled cuz she hears pile drivers in the background all day, all night

They go till 12:00 in the evening

Day night, pile drivers

Darling, could you turn off the pile drivers

I'm sorry, darling

That's progress. [laughter] But, uh, no, we're doing we're doing great.

It's going to be the I think it's going to be the finest ballroom ever built and we're going to have it here

They've wanted it for 150 years

Think of that

So, I will just uh end by saying I want to thank the cabinet

It's uh been a great cabinet

Our last think of it

Time flies, but this is our last of the year as I said and I I just think you've done a fantastic job.

And we're going to go around the room

We'll go quickly, but we're going to go around the room and we'll start with Pete and you'll tell us about some of the achievements and some of you have achievements that are so big I don't want you to go through the whole thing because we're not done

But we'll start with Pete and then if you want we'll take some questions at the end.

Please Pete. >> Well, thank you, Mr

President

As you said, uh it has been a historic year at the Department of War

Uh recruiting and retention over this year are at the most historic levels our country has ever seen

When I had a chance to be on a aircraft carrier destroyer over Thanksgiving, the spirit in our ranks since the election under President Trump is unprecedented.

I've never seen anything like it as a soldier myself in uniform, and I know a lot of you feel the same way

We've ripped out the DEI and the political correctness

It's all merit-based at at the department

Uh we're getting back to basics, accountability, training, readiness, lethality, and and that's reviving that spirit

And Mr.

President, we're rebuilding the military

historic investments

I just took briefings on the Golden Dome and F-47, next generation capabilities that are going to make sure that for generations to come, America has the most powerful, most capable, most lethal military in the world, which you have rebuilt once and we're rebuilding again.

Uh, and then we're reestablishing deterrence and credibility

If you look at what happened, we deal with every day the outcome of what happened in Afghanistan, the debacle under Joe Biden

We just dealt with it in the streets of Washington DC with those two National Guardsmen

Uh, and then what happened on October 7th with Hamas, what happened in Ukraine, a war that never would have started under President Trump, we're having to rebuild that.

So whether it's freedom of navigation and taking the fight to the Houthis, whether it's Midnight Hammer, those beautiful B2s going 37 hours back and forth undetected, delivering with precision, and Iran not getting nuclear capabilities, Europe and NATO stepping up to 5%, locking down our southwest border.

It's been an honor to work with Christy and Tom and everyone else down there to lock it to zero operational control of our border

And then it's getting after and going after narot terrorists and designated terrorist organizations in our own hemisphere

Uh, as I've said and I'll say again, we've only just begun striking narco boats and putting narot terrorists uh at the bottom of the ocean because they've been poisoning the American people.

And Joe Biden tried to approach it with kid gloves and allowed him to come across the border

Cartels take over community, 20 million people, hundreds of thousands of Americans poisoned

And President Trump said, "No, we're taking the gloves off

We're taking the fight to these designated terror organizations.

" And that's exactly what we're doing

So we're stopping the drugs

We're striking the boats

Uh we're defeating narot terrorists

And we're seeing >> and Peter, you may say one thing that drugs coming in through the sea by sea are down 91%

And I don't know who the 9% is. >> I'm not sure either, sir, cuz >> but down 91% by sea.

We've had a bit of a pause because it's hard to find boats to strike right now, >> which is the entire point, right

Deterrence has to matter, not arrest and hand over and then do it again

The rinse and repeat approach of previous administrations

This is meant to get a after that approach

And I will just end by saying uh as President Trump always has our back.

We always have the back of our commanders who are making decisions in difficult situations and we do in this case and all these strikes

Uh they're making judgment calls and ensuring that they uh defend the American people

They've done the right things

We'll keep doing that and we have their backs

Mr

President, >> good job

Thank you very much.

Howard, >> so we set out to stop the ripoff of the United States of America

This is about global change of trade

We've been ripped off since 1945 when we set this policy

So we set out and together with my partners Jameson Greer and Scott Bessett, we set out to change that

So we started the first one was the UK deal, right

We asymmetric they pay us 10%

And we get charged nothing.

That allows us to export and that began the process

Then we did the biggest, the European Union. 450 million people, 20 trillion dollar economy

They completely open their borders to us and we charge them 15%

That makes America $100 billion dollar a year and turns it back to where our economy is the best.

And so it proved that President Trump's trade agenda was the right trade agenda

Then we go to Japan and Korea

They offer us 750 billion in cash to build in America at the president's direction

And we're going to start as an example, nuclear, right

We need to have a nuclear arsenal in America of power, the generation of power.

So, we're going to build hundreds of billions of dollars financed by the Japanese and the Koreans, meaning they give us the money, we build it here, and we split the cash flow 50/50

We're going to build ships, $150 billion worth of ships in America

That changes the way things work

Right

After those trade deals, then you go to how are we going to reshore, right

Let's start talking about the auto industry.

Right

We've been competed against by Koreans, the Japanese, the Europeans

We're kicking our tail

President Trump changed it. 25% tariffs

Bring it all home

This year, General Motor stock up 40%

Ford up 34%

And on the same day that we announced we had set all the tariffs, Sean Feain, the head of the United Order Workers, called and said, "I can't believe I'm calling a Republican Secretary of Commerce to tell the president that this is the greatest administration for auto workers in America

Stocks up and auto workers up."

that proves that President Trump understands how to take care of the whole ecosystem, both the companies and more importantly the people who work there

Semiconductors, right

We didn't build any The Biden ships act was a $60 billion giveaway, right

We've now turned that $300 billion is committed to America.

That's going to go up to $750 billion in the next 60 days, right

And then you go to pharmaceuticals, right?$ 250 billion being invested in America and then working together with Bobby Kennedy, right

Pounding away on that MFN, working together as a joint team

They're coming to over 250 billion and cutting prices in half

We did the golden share of US Steel to make sure the M Valley is protected.

Intel gave us 10% of the company make tens of billions of dollars, right

And the last thing I will say is a year ago today, I was working on transition with President Trump, right

to build the greatest cabinet ever for the greatest president ever

And I, as I sit here today, I can't be more proud of how you did it, sir.

You've created the greatest cabinet

It is a joy to be at this table. >> You know, one thing we will mention

So, they came to see me from Intel and they had a problem

I said, "Look, we'll fix your problem, but I think the United States is entitled to 10% of your company." And the chairman looked at me and he goes, "You have a deal

Tell how much money have we made since I made that deal?" >> It's only 40 billion.

>> 40 billion

We made $40 billion

That was what, three months ago

Does anybody write about it

Nobody writes about That's okay

Uh Mr

Secretary, how we doing with transportation? >> Well, Mr

President

Uh so just quickly on aviation, um many of you have heard that we have an infrastructure made of copper

We have to transition to fiber.

Uh the last administration said it was going to take more than 10 years to complete the transition from copper to fiber

Uh they had no plan to actually do it

Uh we have already completed a third of this transition from copper to fiber

Now it's going to take longer for us to go from analog to digital.

Uh by the way, the rest of the world transitioned 20 years ago from analog to digital

We are just going to do that at the FAA right now

But we're buying new radios

Uh we're going to buy uh uh new radar

By the way, those radar are going to be made in America, Mr

President

Uh this will all be this phase of the operation will be completed by the time you leave office

It's uh three years.

I do need another $20 billion, Congress, uh to start the second phase, um which is really important, and we'll uh try to get that done also in that three-year time period

But we need the money

uh critically uh im important with regard to commercial driver's license

I think we've covered a lot the uh the crashes that have taken place around the country.

And what we found is there have been states that have issued uh commercial driver's license to foreigners and they've gone through sham schools and they're not safe on American roadways

And so in partnership with uh Secretary Gnome, we have uh driven those numbers down

We got California uh Gavin Newsome to revoke 17,000 unlawfully issued licenses.

Um we've closed down half of the the the fake schools that give out these fake licenses

All critically important

Uh Governor Tim Waltz of Minnesota gave 33% of these licenses unlawfully

People that should never have a driver's license driving a big rig on American roads

Um endangering the American people

Uh uh shameful.

We're we've cleaned up uh uh Union Station here in DC per your directive

We're going to rebuild Penn Station in New York

We're going to break ground at the end of uh 20 uh 27 uh get that project uh operational

And uh you know, Mr

President, a lot of us I fly commercially

I fly back by the bathrooms

I don't know why that happens

They put me in the back.

[laughter] You know, I we've asked Americans to bring their better selves, to bring stability back to travel, to say, "Listen, let's say please and thank you." And if you have a someone's pregnant on your flight and and you're as strong as Pete is, well, pick up the bag and help her put it um in the overhead band.

Let's be nice to each other, uh is what we've asked

Maybe not wear pajamas or slippers on the airplane

And uh I think it's been uh received fairly well, and I think we we can all have a better travel experience when we do that

Uh, and just the last point I'll make [clears throat] is, uh, there was a big football game where the Merchant Marine Academy that falls under DUT, actually beat the Coast Guard with Christ.

[laughter] We beat him by one point

Um, and so we're very proud of that. >> So, well, well done

Uh, King's Pointers. >> So, a little bit in a nutshell, we're rebuilding the air traffic control uh, under boot edge edge

That was supposed to be boot edge edge. [laughter] who was another grossly incompetent perhaps.

He you'd get in his bicycle ride to work and uh he was just terrible

What they do is they take the fiber optics and they take fiber trying to hook it into copper and fiber and copper don't mix

You can't do it

But people knew that for the last uh 30 years since they started doing the fiber

And uh they spent billions of dollars and it didn't work.

And you saw that by the helicopter crash

You saw that by into the plane

You saw that by a lot of things

So, we're doing a brand new air traffic control system and it's going to be the best and it's going to be from top to bottom and we have the three top companies in the world bidding on it and it's going to be one bid and we're going to have one company responsible and it'll be the best system and uh it's going to make the look our skies are safe otherwise we wouldn't let people fly.

But uh we're going to have the safest skies

We're going to have the best system anywhere in the world

We're also going to rebuild Dulles airport because it's not a good airport

It should be a great airport and it's not a good airport at all

It's a terrible airport

Uh it was incorrectly designed with a good building actually

It's got a beautiful terminal.

Sarinan was the architect, one of the greatest architects in the world at the time, a great architect

And so they have a great building and a bad airport, but we're going to turn that around and we're going to uh make Dallasos airport serving Washington and Virginia, Maryland, etc

We're going to make that into something really spectacular.

We have an amazing plan for it and other things

But yeah, you're doing a really good job

I appreciate it. >> Those the people movers of Dallas, uh we had a crash recently

Um, so we're going to announce that later today, the a request for bids on this, but again, it's a it's a it's a not a great airport, which we can make great in this administration

Mr.

>> We have a design that's amazing for Dallas

It's going to take Dallasos and make it a really bad it was a badly designed airport

We're going to make it into as good as there is in the country

It'll be exciting. >> Okay

Please. >> All right

Well, Mr

President, it's good to [clears throat] be here at this meeting because in one year you can look around the table and see the change.

And I think one of the biggest changes is how this cabinet works together

And I want to start there

Um this has often been said, I found out some things this year that I didn't know that the department of what was defense, now department of war and the veterans department had never really communicated. >> Now we're fraternal twins in a way.

Pete and I are

He lives better

I'm better looking

But [laughter] but in looking at this, I mean, he brings them in

He keeps them for a number of years up to 20 or longer and then they come in to the what the uh country has committed to our veterans

And if you don't have both ends working correctly, then recruitment lags, morale lags, and we've been able to work and fix a great deal of that.

I didn't need to change our name, but I did do one thing

I put the veteran back first at VA and we did that in one year

How did we do that

We started taking things that have been neglected for a long time and put them back

We had a backlog in which we've dropped over 160,000

We're not talking year-to-year change at the VA

We're talking five, six years.

We have to go back five to six year

Prior COVID numbers to see the change of backlogs that are now reduced

Do we do it in six months instead of the long time it took

In fact, it grew under the Biden administration

It shrank over 160,000 under us

CHAMBA, which is the program we have, has basically been back to dayto day.

It was at a terrible state which delays and claims and everything's going on

We've got that back

We're doing things like uh taking a new look

I have one question that I ask when I go to my hospitals, which by the way, the 100 over 170 hospitals, 1200 clinics, and I asked the people one thing, Mr

President.

I said, "What are you doing right now that if you were just honest and I wasn't standing here, you say, "This is stupid." It's been amazing what we've gotten and the feedback that we have had

We've been able to change how we do credentiing, how we do privileging, how we do uh hiring

We're all working through that and it has all made a difference for our veterans as we go forward.

CNP exams for veterans out there listening

If this is the one where disability claims where they say, "Well, let me send you to a doctor to make sure." Most of the time we have that already in the record

We're working now to where those could actually be changed where we just look at the record and not have to send them to doctor.

That's almost a $3 billion savings that we and also not taking what the veterans get

We're also getting ready to announce here pretty soon a reorganization

It's going to bring our hospital system organizationally in line with the 21st century

We are the largest healthcare organization

It's about time we acted like it, Mr

President.

you've gave that leadership and we're going to do it

And also one thing, community care contracts getting ready to go out

It's one of the largest contracts in the federal government, but it does exactly what you and I have talked about before, making sure that our veterans can get care in the system or in the community, wherever they want it

We're getting ready for that.

Now, I have one thing for all the press who really enjoyed the first of the year saying, "Oh, you know, they're going to cut all these jobs, 80,000 this, 80,000 that at the VA." Mr

Mr

President, every success that I just gave you came after the fact or pretty much after the fact that we had 30,000 take early retirement

Early retirement, no risk.

Although you reported it is loss and risk

You can't help yourself. 30,000 took the retirement

Every bit of the success that I just told you about came with a reduced workforce

It was a motivated workforce that said, "How can we take care of veterans?" That's what this cabinet does

That's what we're doing for you.

>> And you've got the highest approval rating we've ever had at the VA

So that tells you something

You're doing a great job

Thank you very much, >> Jameson, please. >> There's been some activity on trade this year. [laughter] >> Um, you know, for about 75 years, we had a system, global trading system that was premised on the United States having totally open borders, right

Not just on immigration, but on goods and services.

And everyone else generally kept higher tariffs, higher non-tariff bears, etc

Obviously, the outcome was we had a huge trade deficit

uh you took it head on

Uh you gave all of us who work on the file a lot of leverage

So we spent the past uh you know 10 months or whatever we've been doing now uh just going around the world and flipping the script.

So now we're in a situation where we've protected our industries

We have the tariffs and the other countries have decided to take their tariffs down and and non-tariff barriers and we've done it in a very constructive way

Uh we've achieved agreements on reciprocal trade which are a new kind of trade agreement that's really focused on making sure we have balanced trade, we have reciprocal trade, that we're treating each other fairly and it's been embraced uh by the international community.

Uh and it's going to be exciting to see what it's like 5 years, 10 years from now because you've changed it and that's how it's going to be now

Um and I think you should be [clears throat] commended for it and uh we look forward to seeing what comes in the next few years. >> Thank you very much

You're doing great

He's doing a great job.

Thank you very much. >> Please. >> Thank you, Mr

President

Last time I was here, I said that the amount of dereg that we had for regulatory was 30 to1

Since then, it's up to 48 to one

Your goal had been 10 to1, which was in excess of 6 to1 in the first term

It's actually much higher than that, but I made I made my team redo this the threshold a little bit because it sounded so unbelievable.

Uh but the the amount of work that's being done with this entire team is astronomical

And another detail in that is that when we propose a rule, some of some of the biggest ones that you care the most about don't go into that count until they are finalized

So next year we should be even even more eyepopping

One of those to talk about is the federal acquisition uh regulations which you gave us a charge six months ago to dramatically reduce.

In six months, we've lowered it by 25%, 500 pages, 2700 mandates, which is a third of the mandates

That's going to lead to savings, competition, and speed

So, probably $40 billion for the agencies in savings over the course of 10 years

Uh when we get up and running, it'll be north of between 200 and $400 billion.

uh competition about 45% of government bids are only have one bidder

So you got no competition in that situation

Uh that will now change and then we're just getting faster months uh and hopefully we turn it into years which means you all around this table can buy things that you need quickly and that you have better vendors to come uh many of them small businesses who want to participate in the federal procurement process.

So, uh, making all sorts of, uh, uh, improvements on that front is very exciting

Thank you, Mr

President. >> That's great

And great on the regulations

We're cutting them at [clears throat] levels never seen before

And I have the record from the first four years, but we're blowing that record away

So, it's been really great.

>> Scott. >> Yes, sir

Mr

President

Uh, great to be with everyone

And you know when you were given your report uh which was fantastic and I listen to the report of all my colleagues here and those that will come

It reminds me when I played in the NFL we had this thing called game film.

You know all about film and we had a saying that said the film don't lie the film tells the real story

And I hope that the American people when they watch the film that's going on now in this time in our history that they will see that America is greater today than it ever has been

And so I thank you for that and thank you for giving us uh good stories that we can tell for the American people.

>> It's good

We're saving our country. >> Yes, sir. >> Okay

And I don't want to be braggadocious

We're saving our country

Our country was going down and would never have been able to come back

We're saving all of us, but we're saving our country

All right

Go ahead, please, sir. >> So, at Housing and Urban Development, uh, in keeping with your executive order, sir, in making America's streets safe and beautiful again, we've been very intentional about making public housing in our country safe

Uh, and I

want people to know, our colleagues know this, but people in America know that we actually care about people that live in public housing around our country

A lot of public housing is wrought with crime, sex trafficking, drug trafficking, illicit drugs, illegal aliens living in public housing, but we've put them on notice to let you know that it's not lost on us

We care about the people.

We're paying attention to it, and we're going to root out crime in public housing

We've been very uh focused on working with the Memphis Safe Task Force, the DC Safe and Beautiful Task Force, working with Pam and and Chrissy and others and law enforcement

Our law enforcement is tremendous

every single night they go out and they go to public housing to make sure that our people are safe, mothers and children are safe.

And so at HUD, you know, it's a different day

We're running new plays

Uh the film was real bad when I came in, I'm going to be honest

Uh but we uh are giving the people that live in public housing the assurance that they will be safe

And we also announced a new crime hotline, sir

uh that people that live in public housing, if they see criminal activity, if they see illegals living there, if they see drug trafficking, if you see it, if you hear it, report it.

Don't be afraid

And so, work with our Office of Inspector General

Uh we've set up this crime hotline and also working with Chrissy and Department of Homeland Security, uh making sure that everyone that lives inside of public housing is accounted for and that they are American people

And so I say that and I emphasize that to know that we prioritize American people and American people only.

Uh lastly, sir, uh in Atlantic City, uh we took over the Atlantic City public housing because the living conditions were deplorable and they have people that have been living there for three generations and they were being treated very bad

And so I took it so that we could now give people a safe place to stay

and working with the first lady in the foster youth initiative has been a great joy for me and our team.

So, thank you uh for doing that executive order to make sure that our foster youth have a safe landing pad and have financial literacy as they age out of the foster youth system

And sir, you talked about affordability

Uh HUD has supported over 1 million Americans in home ownership and affordability and over 560,000 are firsttime home buyers.

So, I hope that the press will write about that good news that a million people are able to own a home uh and to refinance their homes

And sir, we are moving our building from DC to Alexandria, Virginia

So, thank you for your support

We're going to save the American people by $500 million

So, that's my report

Thank you, sir.

>> Thank you, Scott

Very much, Brooke

Uh well, coming off of Thanksgiving, moving towards Christmas, I think it's the season of Thanksgiving

And two words for me are gratitude and joy

Uh gratitude to you for, as Howard said, bringing this team together

Uh I say it a lot, but I'll say it again, that this is like family at this point.

And I don't know that there's ever been an organization like this, at least a government like this, in the history of our country

uh these jobs are hard but the joy every day in getting to fight for America and save the country uh is is the privilege of all of our lifetimes I believe

So thank you for that. >> Um at US Department of Agriculture the people's department Abraham Lincoln um launched this department in 1862 but under your leadership we have finally again put farmers and ranchers in rural America first

in the last year

It's no

longer DEI, climate change, sending out money based on the color of a farmer's skin

It's it's now about literally putting uh farmers back at the center of it

And under the last administration, we talked a lot about affordability

We'll continue to talk about that

But under the Biden administration and the destruction of our economy and the cost of inflation, interest rates for farmers and ranchers went up 73%.

Labor went up 47%

Fertilizer went up 36%, fuel went up 28%

So when you think about the extreme economic strain that a lot of our farmers are under in our farm economy, the these are massive massive numbers that will take some time to get out from under

But we've already seen the beginnings of the movement toward more affordable food, housing, fuel, etc.

And that will only continue to trend as we work to solve those issues

Uh my partners in trade, of course, they do the work, but I'm constantly talking to them about selling more soybeans, selling more corn, getting more of our products out

But when we really think about how to solve for this idea that for so long our farmers, many of them have been farming for government checks instead of moving their product around the world.

These trade deals change that forever

And it isn't one trade deal or two trade deals

It's dozens of trade deals

And so talking about rural prosperity and bringing the golden age back to rural America, which has been lost for too long

And we're going to focus on that next year hopefully with our vice president, many of our cabinet members.

But the opportunity to do that under these new trade deals is unprecedented

And so just putting farmers first, our ranchers first, Mr

President, is such a huge such a huge priority and and an accomplishment of the last year

The second quick thing is lawfare

And I know you know this better than anyone in the country

When a government politicizes and weaponizes their power to go after average everyday Americans, well, from you, the top of the of the heap as president, but all the way down to the ranchers in South Dakota, uh, the Ma family who were

facing jail time over a fence line dispute that had been in their family for 130 years

We fixed that

the family, the Henry family in New Jersey who were facing their farm being taken away for imminent domain to give to affordable housing

We fixed that

So being able to completely change the trajectory of private property rights, but especially as it has to do with our farmers and ranchers and our rural communities changes everything for our country.

And then the third thing, we have so much great things to talk about at USDA, but the third thing which became very much a part of the national conversation during the Democrat shutdown was SNAP reform, food stamp reform, when all of America saw what so many of us know and have been working on

But when you have so much rampant fraud in a program that 42 million Americans participate in now a big good piece of news that I hope is written about since you became president about 800,000 of those 42 million have moved off of food stamps which is hopefully

the plan with better jobs higher wages etc

But still, when we found 186,000 dead people or dead people's social security numbers being used, 500,000 people receiving benefits more than twice

We had a couple of people receiving benefits in six states

In February of this year, we asked for all the states for the first time to turn over their data to the federal government to let the USDA partner with them to root out this fraud to make sure that those who really need food stamps are getting them, but also to ensure

that the American taxpayer is protected. 21 states said yes, not surpris 29 states said yes, not surprisingly the red states

And that's where all of that data, that fraud comes from

But 21 states, including California, New York, and Minnesota, the blue states, continue to say no.

So, as of next week, we have begun and will begin to stop moving federal funds into those states until they comply and they tell us and allow us to partner with them to root out this fraud and to protect the American taxpayer

As Joe Biden was working to buy an election a year ago, he increased food stamp program funding by 40%

So now as we continue to roll that back.

So uh the partnership in making America healthy again is also in food stamps, but a lot of what we're going to Bobby and I are doing together is really remarkable

But again, just gratitude and joy for this work

Uh and so so grateful to you

The final thing I'll say, a lot of gratitude to Secretary Marco Rubio for wearing his Aggie Maroon tie as a reflection of Texas A&M beating Florida handily about a month ago.

So, Marco, I want to thank you and much gratitude and joy in my heart as well

Yes. >> But thank you, sir. >> We also have to say something about about China uh with one of the largest purchases ever in our country, the soybeans. >> Yes, sir

And so I want to thank President Xi

We had a great meeting

We were in South Korea and I went to a lot of other places too, but we met in South Korea and President Xi was great and China gave us among the largest orders in the history of your world agriculture.

>> That's right. >> And sir, may I say this is the this is the remarkable result of real leadership and your real leadership

Just a couple of days ago, China announced that they were going to halt all purchases from Brazil because they had found some irregularities in some of the soybeans they're buying from Brazil.

And what that means is a continued signal that this country and our farmers produce the best, highest quality soybeans, sorghum, etc

in the world

And what you've been able to do is open those markets up and again move toward an era where our farmers are not so reliant on government checks, but they have the markets to sell their product.

Having said that, we do have a bridge payment we'll be announcing uh with you next week as we're still trying to recover from the Biden. >> Yeah, that's right. >> To help the farmers

We're going to help the farmers

They did not help the farmers. >> That's right. >> Thank you very much. >> Thank you, sir. >> Scott, >> Mr.

President, it's been a great year on the economy, but the best is yet to come

the tens of trillions of dollars that have come in investment both the portfolio investment investment by companies investment the by countries that is turning into a capex boom for the US capital expenditures up 15% in history the when capex is up jobs will follow the one big beautiful bill is an incredible as you said the thanks to your leadership along with speaker johnson Senator Leader Thun, we had that done on July 4th, which everyone said was impossible

And the great thing about

that bill, sir, for the American people, it's for industry, 100% expensing

Build your factory here

You can write it off immediately

But you also insisted on the four benefits for working people

No tax on tips, no tax in overtime, no tax on social security, auto deductibility for American cars, and that is retroactive.

So, as a result, in 2026, we are going to see very substantial tax refunds in the first quarter

So, the best way to address the affordability crisis is to give Americans more money in their pockets, which is what this bill has done

We're going to see real wage increases

You know, I think next year going to be a fantastic year.

Uh taxes, deregulation, energy certainty

That's why everyone with your leadership is coming to America

Bond market had its best year since 2020

Everyone said couldn't be done

So, we're going to have growth

We've had two 4% quarters before the Schumer shutdown

We're going to go back to that.

So, not only we going to have great growth, but it's going to be low inflationary growth

and stock market obviously is following

But next year is going to be the year for Main Street as all this kicks in

And you came in immigration

I called it the three eyes

Immigration, interest rates, and inflation that we're killing the American people

Close the border.

The promise kept interest rates are down

And the 10-year bond, again, best year since 2020

And inflation, led by energy prices, is going to roll next year

I think it's going to be a fantastic year

Uh, we can look back, be very proud of this year, but I think 2026 is going to be great for the American people thanks to you.

>> Going to be great

Thank you very much, Mr

Vice President. >> Thank you, Mr

President

It's an honor to serve with this great team that you've assembled

And I just want to pick up on something you said, Mr

president because you hit the nail on the head that it is absurd that Democrats talk about an affordability crisis that they created and the people around this table work every single day to address.

You'll hear a lot of statistics today

You hear a lot of statistics in our political conversation

I think the most important statistic for the American people is that under the Biden administration, the average American family lost over $3,000 of household income

And under the first 10 months of this Trump administration, they have gained over $1,000 of household income.

What that says very clearly is that we are fixing [snorts] the problem that Joe Biden and the Democrats created in the last administration

If you look at every affordability crisis that's confronting the American people today, it is traceable directly to a problem caused by Joe Biden and congressional Democrats.

Why did homes get so unaffordable

because we had 20 million illegal aliens in this country taking homes that ought by right to go to American citizens

Why did tax bills get so unaffordable

Because Democrats were raising taxes while congressional Republicans, under the president's leadership, we're now cutting taxes

Why did food get so expensive

Because we printed trillions of dollars and threw it into green scams that made our agricultural economy suffer while Americans were paying higher prices for food

on every single one of those

issues

Mr

President, I think we've made incredible progress, but it would be preposterous to fix every problem caused over the last four years in just 10 months

I think that we've done incredibly good

But what I see over the next year, and you heard uh Brooke talk about uh joy and gratitude

What I really think this season represents for me and I think for the entire administration is that we have now done incredible work to fix what Joe Biden broke.

And I think the next year in American growth and American prosperity could be the best year that we've had in the United States of America

It's going to happen because we're all working hard

It's going to happen because we have the greatest country in the world

But I think for congressional Democrats in particular, if they want to talk about affordability, they ought to look in the mirror.

We are fixing what they're broken

We're proud to do it

It's the job that we were elected to do, but I think 2026 is going to be the year where this economy really takes off. >> Thank you very much. >> Thank >> President Trump, thank you for talking about Sarah heartbreaks for her family and Andy um is doing well.

His parents, Melody and Jason, wanted me to tell you and I was with them yesterday in the hospital

He's a miracle

I was there when the surgeons came in and he they wanted you to know this

He's a miracle and if everyone in this country can continue to pray for that family

He's got a long road ahead of him, but he is a miracle.

And of course, our DC initiative is led by our amaz Oh, and the monster will be held accountable who did this. >> Our um our marshals of course are leading the DC safe effort

We have made over 7,000 arrests at your direction

DC is safe again

working with everyone around this table, Pete and everyone

Scott and I were in um Memphis together last week and everyone and Bobby, your HHS doctors and medics are on the ground to help people in Memphis and DC.

In Memphis, we've made over 3,500 arrests so far and Homeland Security

Christy, you've been instrumental in this, but it's everyone working together as a team

We even have Treasury agents out there

It's unbelievable

On the ground in DC and Memphis, [clears throat] of course, law enforcement first, FBI, all you know, Cash Patel has led the FBI.

We have a 100% increase in the arrest of violent criminals thanks to your leadership

DEA led by Terry Cole

Over 45 million fentanyl pills, 4,200 kilos fentanyl powder

That is the equivalent of 30 347 million potential lethal doses

That's unbelievable that you've taken off the streets of our country.

And the weight of all the drugs combined taken off by DEA is the weight of 17 full se

the drugs that had flowed into this country under the previous administration

ATF led by Rob Sakata has seized more than 31,000 illegal guns. 31,000

Unbelievable

At your leadership, 19,000 of those were from trafficking cases. >> We've been sued on the legal front now.

We have been sued 575 times. 575 times

more than every administration going back to Reagan combined

Most recently yesterday, I was sued by an immigration judge who we fired

One of the reasons she said she was a woman

Last I checked, I was a woman as well

But [laughter] 24 Supreme Court wins.

President Trump 92% success rate

We told you it would take a while to get to the Supreme Court

We're doing it at record speed

Led by John Sauer, of course, Sarah and Hosh, all working together

immigration

We're winning nationwide injunctions, ending DEI funding, working to secure that our federal workforce is aligned with your America first agenda, representing pretty much everyone in this room.

We met with your general counsel yesterday, Doug, um met with working with everyone

It's non-stop

Um ICE, of course, we're winning there with Christie

We're um Brook SNAP benefits won there

Marco, US A pet, um, National Guard, of course, going non-stop

Our US attorneys are fighting violent crime, working around the clock to make America safe again.

Which was your directive

Our civil rights division, suing Gavin Newsome three times now

Prop 50, keeping boys out of girls sports and instate tuition for illegal aliens

We've um sued over election integrity

We are litigating major universities with Linda

Thank you

Our civil rights division for everything that you've done to um to end DEI in our schools.

Our civil division fighting sanctuary cities every single day

And of course our antitrust division with Google major settlement

Our attorneys are working on terrorism, TDA, MS13, Antifa

President Trump, we've charged more than 500 defendants with assault on federal officers thanks to your directive.

And also, we have dropped countless cases against Americans that were prosecuted under the Biden administration, including J6, COVID, Face Act, and more

And as everyone knows, we cannot talk about pending grand jury investigations, but no one is above the law, and that includes what happened in Arctic Frost

I hope everyone has a very merry Christmas, happy Hanukkah, and um happy holidays.

Thank you for fighting for our country. >> Thank you

Thank you very much

Please, Larry. >> Well, thank you, Mr

President

Thank you for allowing me to be at this table

When I came on board, I knew really none of you uh in this last year

And it's been a year, Mr

President, since I've had the pleasure uh to serve this country on the workforce.

Um everybody said the Department of Labor would be quiet

Fly under the radar

You won't have to do too much

Absolutely not

Because you made the American people realize the American dream is real for the American workforce

And it's been under your leadership, Mr

president that over 2 million jobs that has been created since you started have been nativeborn workers and that is the difference between this presidency this administration as opposed to the Biden administration were mostly foreignb born or federal government jobs and I think through the

private sector over two million jobs of native born and so the labor department has wasted no time in putting that into action with our make America skilled again either grant dollars but the intentionality of the apprenticeship program, 1 million active apprentices across this country

We have done over 250,000 new apprentices so far in the first [clears throat] year and registered over 2,000 new apprenticeship programs.

Why do we need the apprenticeship programs with the men and women in the trades

Because of the leadership of onshoring and reshoring and have a lot of these companies reinvest in America

We have to build this country

We cannot do that without the tradesmen and women and the craftsmen of this country.

And I think that, you know, Howard and I, we talked about that from the beginning

And we're going to have to lean in on that because we need the labor force, 700,000 new skilled jobs with electricians, construction workers, machinists, and so forth

And as I traveled with the vice president as well, we see that on the manufacturing floors of this country, they're in desperate need.

the Department of Labor are going to get uh the workforce skilled again

Working with Secretary McMahon as we move a lot of the education out to our respective states, we are now working together and we have deployed $86 million in investments

Um and a lot of that is in I in AI infrastructure jobs to have um our new workforce proficient and literate in AI if we're going to continue to lead the AI race.

And we're working on that

And the Department of Labor is now creating and will soon launch the AI infrastructure and workforce hub which we will be able to track that metrics to see exactly if these dollars are going correctly

Integrating education and workforce um with obviously administrator Leler and I are on the road a lot together because we're talking about Main Street as well as um a lot of the manufacturing jobs and how we're being an ally to our businesses as opposed to an adversary for far too long

Under the Biden

administration, we were adversaries to our business owners and we want to give them a leg up always and make sure that we're paying attention

And we want our workforce to be educated

We do not need the numbers that we have seen across this country where our fourth through eighth graders cannot do read, write, or do any math and they are our future workforce.

We have to depend on the American worker first

Also, lowering health care costs in line with the executive order

I'm working with Treasury and HHS in rulemaking is underway uh to expand healthcare transparency and make pricing more affordable for our employers who offer these to their employees

promoting retirement security

The department rescended the Biden administration's guidance that restricted the use of crypto in the retirement investments and we're seeing more and more of that where we also uh rescended the supplemental statement

that discouraged the fiduciaries from considering the alternative assets for 401ks and that will also come through the department of labor that rulemaking ending abuse of cheap foreign labor at the expense of the American worker

We launched over 200 investigations into companies who will um have abused and or fraudulently against the American worker.

So, Project Firewall was released

Thank you, Mr

President

We want the trained workforce, but we will root out the fraud and abuse and will protect the American worker first and slashing the job killing regulations

The department has rescended discriminatory DEI practices

And I will tell you, reducing compliance costs for businesses as it was for DEI has saved American businesses nearly $1 billion this year by just getting rid of DEI for that compliance cost that they've had to do

So, Mr.

President, continuing to skill the American worker, the American workforce is going to be my mission

We have to do it faster

We have to do it quicker

we have to build so that the American people can realize that American dream that you have laid out so eloquently

And I it's an honor to serve under this administration and to talk to the American workers who believe in the American dream.

Again, the pride on their face, the pride of the American worker, the skilled men and women who build with their hands

It's an honor

So, thank you and merry Christmas. >> Very good job

Thank you very much, >> Chris. >> Mr

President, I am honored and frankly inspired to sit at this table with this incredible team of leaders that work every day for one and only one constituency, the American people.

Not this group or that group, the American people

The price of energy that's very much on the mind of Americans

The biggest determinant of the price of energy is politicians, political leaders, and policies

That's what drives energy prices

Under your leadership, what we've seen in the United States is just a steady drop in the price of gasoline, a huge consumer cost for Americans, as you mentioned early on, well below $3 a gallon right now and trending downwards.

There are a number of stations in the heartland of America with $1.99 signs flying today

That's simply impossible without the leadership and changes you've brought

Now, of course, you can go to California where the average price of gasoline is between $450 and $5 a gallon today in California.

That's just bad political leaders there and bad policies in California. >> And taxes >> and taxes. >> Taxes they charge in gasoline are just insane

Terrible

and electricity prices is a very parallel story but it's a it's a bigger moving ship so the changes are a little bit slower but Americans are outraged at you know roughly 30% rise in the average price of electricity across this country but everything we are doing together is going to reverse that not just stop the rises but start a downward trajectory in electricity prices and I

can say that with confidence not because we think these policies will work we know these policies will work and I'll get to that in a second

We're going to stop closing power plants

We've already done that

Of course, stop closing the coal power plants and natural gas plants that were shut down.

We've got over 30 gawatts of generators just sitting there today, not allowed to run

Well, of course, we're fixing that immediately

We're going to bring on from our existing grid tens of gigawatts more capacity

It'll drive down the cost of electricity

But if we look at the last five years to see what works and what doesn't work, the most al Trump aligned policies in the electricity sector were by no surprise one of your cabinet members uh Secretary Bergam for eight years governor of North Dakota.

Over the last five years, production and demand for electricity in North Dakota grew 35%

Think what data center boom's going to do

And what happened

Electricity prices went down

Didn't rise slowly

They actually went down those 5 years

That's the answer

Trump aligned energy policies increased demand for electricity.

Nebraska and Texas, more Trump aligned states, uh, had significant growth in demand for electricity

They had electricity price rises, but well below the price of inflation

Unfortunately, Biden brought all of us a lot of inflation

If you look at the other end of the spectrum, California, New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Maryland, I could go on.

What happened in those states

Policies and politicians that force the building of unreliable electricity generation, which requires new infrastructure and transmission lines

And what happened today

They produce less electricity than they did 5 years ago

A lot of spending money and less electricity

What does that mean

Of course, much faster rises in the price of electricity.

Blue states have had one and a half times faster rise in electricity prices than red states

Red states alone less than inflation

We need to bring those policies, you are bringing those policies to the national level

We hope the blue states will come along with us, but your policies are going to start the decline of electricity prices nationwide under your leadership by just bringing back common sense.

So, thank you for allowing me to be part of this team for people here who are focused on winning

Special thanks to Howard and Scotty who were there with me to see the Denver Broncos win on Monday night

Now, we want nationwide wins on energy for three more years, >> and we're doing more energy production than we've ever done by far right now.

>> Records across the board that'll continue to be reset every year you're in office. >> Thank you very much. >> Well, Mr

President, thank you for giving me a very interesting job

Um, some some days it's a little controversial, too, but it's been an honor to work for you

You are a great American.

the fights that you pick are the right fights and they're always on behalf of this country

So, I appreciate the chance to do this um job heading up this department

If if you think about what Joe Biden did with the Department of Homeland Security, he used this department to invade the country with terrorists

He opened up the borders, let anybody come in that wanted to.

He put them on airplanes

He let them through our airports

if they could figure out a way to get to our shores and in our country, he just opened the door and invited them in

So, it's our job to get them out

And I want to thank you for this team because I look around the table and I think every single person here has helped me do my job over the last year.

Uh they've supported us at the border and given us resources

Marco negotiates all the travel documents and relationships with other countries to take their people home

Two million people have gone home already

Uh the people that were here illegally, you've removed from our country and sent home

And we're going to send more home for the holidays, too.

And make sure that they get to be with their families in their countries

Yes. >> Especially the bad ones. >> That's right, Pam. >> This is the bad ones. >> That's right

There are a lot of them. >> The terrible uh horrible people

And Pam makes sure she's fighting for us in court so that we can get up every day and be bold.

We're going to have hire our 10,000th ICE officer will be on the job within 10 days

So we have hired 10,000 we've had hundreds of thousands of applications

Uh we've got within the department uh TSA uh went through this government shutdown without any delays

Uh they all showed up for their shifts and worked hard doing security and uh they have been absolutely fantastic.

Sir, you made it through hurricane season without a hurricane. >> Yeah. >> And so FEMA [laughter] FEMA you even you kept the hurricanes away

So we we appreciate that

And FEMA is deploying resources and dollars 150% faster than ever before

So somebody does have something bad that happens to them, you are immediately there helping them and telling them they have the resources to get back up on their feet.

So we have built and deployed hundreds of miles of border already

You have uh cut the fentanyl flow over the southern border by over 56%

You've saved hundreds of millions of lives with the cocaine you've blown up in the Caribbean

And uh you know, you told me to look into Minnesota and their fraud on visas and their programs.

50% of them are fraudulent, which means that that wacko governor Walls either is an idiot or he did it on purpose

And I think he's both, sir

He brought people in there illegally that never should have been in this country

Said they were somebody that they're not

They said they were married to somebody who was their brother or somebody else.

Fraudulent visa applications, signed up for government programs, took hundreds of billions of dollars from the taxpayers, and we're going to remove them, and we're going to get our money back

And we're gonna this next year make sure that we only put people in leadership positions in this country that love this country and have its back.

So, thank you for letting us get up every day and have a purpose

We appreciate you. >> Thanks, Chris

Appreciate it, >> Mr

President

You're exactly right

We are saving this country

We're doing it one main street at a time and we're doing it at record speed and at record levels

Under your leadership, small business optimism, according to the US Chamber Index for small businesses, has reached an all-time high in the history of that index.

So on Main Street, the economy is coming back thanks to your leadership, thanks to getting Biden inflation under control

Small business's number one concern right now is finding skilled labor

And that's why Secretary Chavez Darmer and I have entered into anou to get to speed that workforce to small businesses that under this administration are now at record levels.

36 million small businesses have now taken on board for the first time in the SBA's history

A hundred billion dollar that's 45 billion in small business lending at 85,000 small businesses

most of that under your term and 52 billion out to small business investment companies

So we are running this agency like the bestrun bank in the country.

We are growing small businesses across Main Street and we're deregulating to the tune of a hundred billion dollars working with all my fellow cabinet members and thank you for putting together the best cabinet in history

Iron sharpens iron and thank you for bringing such a strong leadership group together

And then finally, I have walked factory floors from Alaska to Maine and the workers, the small businesses, most manufacturers in this country are small businesses, 600,000 [clears throat] of them.

They are so grateful to your fair trade, low inflation, deregulation agenda that is creating national security and economic security in this country like never before

And so I want to also finally thank you for bringing faith back to the White House to this administration

I want to thank Brooke for hosting the cabinet Bible study and invite everyone tomorrow to Bible study and making this country something that we can be so proud of under your leadership and I am so blessed and honored to be part of this team.

So, thank you, Mr

President. >> Thank you very much. >> Thank you, Mr

President, for your leadership

I am truly grateful to be a member of your team here at this table uh to help support you in delivering on the promises that you made to the American people

Um, you came in with a very clear mandate of taking on the rampant weaponization, politicization of the intelligence community and federal law enforcement.

Uh, experiencing yourself, the deep state abusing their power as they have against you, your family, and so many of the American people

Bring out accountability truly for those who have abused their power

making sure that the intelligence community is supporting your efforts in keeping the American people safe, secure, and free.

Uh, and being the president of peace

I'm grateful to be in this position as your director of national intelligence to support you in these efforts

And I'll cover very briefly what we've done over the last year under your leadership and what we look forward to continuing to focus on uh next year

Uh first of all, under your leadership again, we've taken on a historic effort for transparency, declassification, and exposing these abuses of power by these deep state actors.

We've declassified over half a million documents, many of which had never been seen before by the American people, put them online to bring about this level of transparency

We formed a weaponization working group again to be able to go after a lot of these abuses of power that have never seen the light of day to support the accountability that under Pam Bondi's leadership and the department of justice is coming about.

Uh secondly, bringing about reform to the intelligence community to make sure that we have the most effective and efficient and focused workforce that's really working on bringing about the priorities you you have laid out in ensuring our country's security

Uh and lastly, Mr

President, working with many of our partners here around the table is going after these domestic threats.

Uh we have threats coming from both Islamist ideology as well as Islamist terrorists, foreign terrorist organizations, and those who seek to do harm to the American people, many of whom were led in across our borders uh under the previous administration

Uh we are focused on these tasks and this imperative for the American people and just appreciate your leadership, Mr.

president uh and empowering us to be able to conduct this service

Merry Christmas. >> Thank you very much. >> Thank you. >> Merry Christmas. >> Say loud and clear. >> Mr

President, your team at the Trump EPA EPA has been crushing it all year uh to fix the big mess that we inherited and uh deliver amazing results for the American people.

Uh I've had the opportunity to visit all 50 states uh since confirmation earlier this year and uh to hear from real people uh where they meet, where they live uh and to bring their great ideas and their asks back to us to be able to to deliver for them

Uh at the Trump EPA, we have proven that you can both protect the environment and grow the economy.

On the environmental front, uh, since you were sworn in earlier this year, we have averaged a big environmental accomplishment every single day

Um, on the 100th day, the 200th day, the 300th day of your presidency, each time we released a list of our top 100 environmental accomplishments that that has included a historic LA wildfire cleanup that you ordered us uh to complete in record time, which we did.

and the Army Corps uh under the leadership of our great secretary of war uh did their part as well

The federal government completely did all of the work needed to allow these uh residents and businesses to be able to rebuild, but poor leadership uh at the local and state level

Unfortunately, is still resulting in these property owners unable to rebuild and it's wrong.

We also were able to reach an agreement with Mexico to be able to implement a plan to permanently end a decades old raw sewage crisis on the southern border with Mexico

And Secretary Rubio and and his team, Chris Landau, Ambassador Johnson, they've been amazing to get that done.

On the deregulatory front, uh we have proudly launched a massive blitz that amounts to the largest deregulatory effort by any agency in the history of the United States

To put some perspective on it, in one year at one agency, we will do more deregulation than entire presidencies have done across all agencies

It's incredible.

You could go back across, you know, four-year terms, 8-year terms, you've never seen this much deregulation

One agency, one year

In fact, when finalized, the proposed recision of the 2009 Obama EPA endangerment finding amounts to the largest deregulatory action in the history of the United States of America

from fixing the AY's definition of waters of the United States, which is important for our farmers, our ranchers, and other land owners to uh the effort to end electric vehicle mandates and promote consumer choice, eliminating regulations designed to

eliminate uh entire sectors of our energy economy

We're thinking big and we're delivering big

We have reduced terrible deratements on diesel exhaust fluid systems

We're getting water moving faster, new pipelines and power plants built, and we are helping to unleash energy dominance

Mr.

President, on the operational front, we have significantly reduced the size of the agency workforce, and we are accomplishing more with less

It's all about priorities and our focus is on fulfilling our statutory obligations, helping to fasttrack project approvals that were taking way too long and closely following the law as well as key Supreme Court decisions like Loperbrite to overturn the Chevron doctrine.

We inherited massive backlogs that we have been eliminating all year long

We've been implementing your executive order to end COVID era remote work

We consolidated real estate, canceled expensive media subscriptions, and closed the Biden EPA museum that none of you knew even existed

I'm sure none of you actually visited.

To put it another way, in 2024, the Biden EPA obligated and spent over $60 billion in one year, an agency with an operational budget of about $10 billion a year

In their own words, caught on camera, they were tossing gold bars off the Titanic, wasting precious tax dollars to pay off well-connected Obama and Biden officials.

Uh, and they were doing without any apology or regret

The Biden EPA, in fact, was amending grant agreements just days before you came into office to reduce agency oversight

But this year, 2025 at the Trump EPA, similar theme that you'll hear from everyone around this table

With our actions cancelling wasteful grants and implementing other me measures just mentioned, we have saved $30 billion.

They spent over 60 billion

We have saved over 30 billion

The bottom line, by the way, is that the Green New Scam is dead

It's a new day at the EPA where we will protect the environment and grow the economy

We will deliver on the Trump mandate every day and we will fight with just one constituency front of mind and that is the American people

Thank you, Mr.

President, for being willing to take a bullet for this country

And if you were to ask me what I'm grateful for, whether it's a Thanksgiving, it's a Christmas, a Hanukkah, a New Year's, uh any time of year, the fact that this president, after four years serving in office, he could have just left it in the rearview mirror and went on to really enjoy retirement.

But he is willing to take a bullet for all of you tuning in at home because he believes in his flag, our freedom, our liberties, and to save the greatest country in the history of the world

So I'm grateful this holiday season for you, Mr

President

you're willing to take a bullet for all of us

And by all of us, it's the American public.

>> Thank you, >> Mr

President

Good morning, everyone

Uh well, in spite of the fact that um uh your charge to me is to fire myself

Um we we've really been uh incredibly hard at work making sure that we can return education to the states

And as and as I sit and listen to all the emergencies that we are addressing in this country from from the economy to our borders to everything that we're doing I would say sir that if we do not fix education in our country with this hard reset that uh that you are expecting I think the

greatest national emergency we could face is our education because if we are not going to educate our children we're going to continue to fall behind the rest in the world when there are only 30% of 12th graders, eighth graders, and fourth graders that can read at proficiency level

Uh that is an incredibly harsh statement to make about our country.

And you told me when you first uh were elected president and you looked at I think right after you took office, the first uh NAPE scores, which is nation's report card, came out and showed how far down we were in educational proficiency in our country

and not only the NAPE scores but the international scores as well showed us uh very about third from the bottom.

You told me you were not only embarrassed, but you were angry about this and that we had to do something to change this in our country

And we took a hard look at it

And you absolutely said the bureaucracy of education in Washington is keeping its thumb on preventing growth what we should have because it's best handled at the state level.

Letting states put their programs in place

And some states are going to do it a lot better than others, but it's not going to happen from Washington DC

And when I hear things like, well, with no disrespect to any other country in the world that have really great programs, Germany, Sweden, or hear about this all the time, point of fact is they're this big

The United States is this big.

We can't do it from Washington DC

It has to be done at the state level

So what we've been doing uh as Lori brought up, Secretary of Labor brought up, we have a great working relationship

We have already signed uh and implemented one umou or inter agency agreement to handle uh the WEOA program and the Perkins grants to make sure it works.

I call these uh you know the these are are programs pilot programs that we're putting out there and if these are going to work we will be able to permanently transfer these programs to other agencies

They're working like a charm

We've taken some of our best people in education

It still operates under the budget of the Department of Education and under the management of the Department of Education but working with Lor's personnel.

And when I hear push back on that to say, well, how how can this possibly work to the education and put it in labor, let's be efficient, one example, in order to draw down on a lot of the grants that they were helping us with

We're using their grant system

The grant system at Department of Education is like held together with bubble gum and rubber bands >> and it did not interact with any other agency.

Now we have this really smooth operation already in labor

So that has prompted us to sign uh also other inter agency agreements, two more with labor, one with HHS, one with the Department of State, and we'll be moving other programs, but we these are proof of concept

Let's make sure they're working and working smoothly before we ask Congress to codify these permanent moves.

So that's kind of in the world of of K through 12 what we're looking at right now

But in the world of higher education, as um uh Attorney General Bondi mentioned, we've been working really very hard to make sure that we've got anti-semitism at DEI out of their uh out of our universities and u put some pretty stiff fines on, work some good deals.

I've enjoyed working with Harit who uh just an incredible negotiator

So we're bringing all of that to bear as well

So I can say sir that we are moving to return education to the states and to bring the level of education back up making sure our students can read our reintroducing um the science of reading in schools and uh going into next year I I can honestly say we've got a lean mean machine operating at the education at the department of education only half the workforce of when we started and we're more efficient and I think we're going to see um better results as we

move into next year

So, thank you for this incredible opportunity. >> Thank you very much. >> Thank you, Mr

President, during this holiday season for empowering us, HHS, me, Dr

McCary, uh Jay Bachara and Dr

cause the change of trajectory of this agency towards public health and away from the tradition of serving the merkantile interests of the medical industrial complex and the big pharmaceutical companies.

Two weeks ago, we ended under your leadership a 20-year war on women by removing the blackbox warnings from hormone replacement therapy

The medical cartel was telling women that hormone replacement therapy during menopause was dangerous for them

In fact, here's what the science said

It ends it it diminishes the risk of fatal heart attacks by 25%.

Cardiac disease by 50%

Alzheimer's by 35%

Bone fractures by 50 to 60%

It improves appetite

It improves sleep

It improves energy

It improves happiness

We are now there are tens of millions of women in this country have been deprived of that therapy because of just scientific malpractice by the medical cartel.

We are now remedying that and this remedy will now be available to all women who want it during one of the most difficult transitions of their lives

MFN is one of our greatest accomplishments

It would not have happened without you

You were the only person who believed in it

You drove us to get it done.

We've now made agreements with the five biggest pharmaceutical companies

We have 12 more in the lineup to make agreements

By the time this administration leaves office, 95% of the drugs in this country will be we will have the lowest prices of any nation in the developed world

Americans are already getting the benefits from these.

These companies are already lowering these prices dramatically as you've noticed

And then this week, uh, Howard at Department of Commerce and Jameson at US trade representative made a bargain with Great Britain to raise their drug prices in conformance with your promise that the Europeans would raise theirs to counterbalance us lowering ours and therefore we would keep intact the the ecosystem of innovation and protect innovation.

So congratulations on that, Mr

President

When I first when you first asked me to take this job, one of the first contacts we made was with a leading uh economics professor, health economics professor at Harvard, and we asked him, "What's the one innovation that we could do that would most dramatically improve the health care experience for the average American?" and he said there's no contest.

It's to Jane to get rid of prior authorization

Thanks to your leadership, we were able to convene the largest insurance companies in this country and do something that every administration, every Congress has promised for the past 30 years

We actually got it done

We convened the insurance companies representing 280 million Americans and got them to agree, most of them by January of 2026 for two months from now to remove prior authorization for most of their procedures for all the procedures we want them removed from.

And that means that American patients at the point of care will be able to get an answer immediately

If your doctor says you need knee surgery, you will know before you leave that doctor's office whether your insurance company will pay for it or not

Similarly, healthcare records the the the tech tech industry has refused to share healthcare records.

You asked us to change that

We convened the 60 biggest tech companies at a at a conference that you presided over about two months ago

We now did a secondary conference which 400 leading companies all come in and agreed to remove um any kind of blockages where individual Americans could get their own healthcare.

Americans own their healthcare records yet they were not able to access them

And [clears throat] if you were lived in New Jersey and you moved to Oregon and you got injured, you went to a hospital, you would have to spend maybe 45 minutes filling out forms on a clipboard cuz your doctors there could not get your healthcare records.

They couldn't get your blood type, your allergies, all the things that they ought to know immediately so they can save your life

Now that has all changed and all these companies now have agreed to remove all the blocks on sharing healthcare records

Every American will have their healthcare records available on their cell phones.

And it's already happening in the last 6 months

There have been over a hundred times the number of healthc care records shared by hospitals and during the entire previous administration on um on deregulation

HHS proudly is now leading the the uh the pack and you know thank you for your help on that Russ

But today we announced the retraction, the revocation of the nursing home rule which was overburdening rural areas across this country, Indian reservations with regulations that were going to destroy the nursing home industry in

those communities

And that that is going to be a $25 billion savings

Those are some of the things that we're doing because of your leadership, President Trump

Thank you so much and merry Christmas to you

Thank you, Bob, very much

Great job. >> Well, Mr

President, uh you've assembled an incredibly talented group here.

If you took a look at this group compared to any Fortune 500 leadership team, any group of startup folks, I mean, this is an amazing group and the breadth of what's being accomplished

Uh and the timing couldn't be better because uh with your leadership and vision, you've set us up for this age of abundance as we head into next year, the 250th anniversary of this country.

Uh and what are we heading into that year

As we've talked around the table, you've heard about massively lower taxes, massively lower regulation, abundant energy, uh record capital investment coming in, job growth

I mean, we are set up to really have something to celebrate next year

Uh and I just again want to say uh thank you to everybody around the table.

You gave us one big assignment in Interior

Of course, Interior the largest balance sheet in the world in the Department of Interior

if it was a standalone company, 500 million acres of surface, 700 million acres of subservice, over 3 billion of offshore from Guam to the Virgin Islands, and you said we got to take care of that balance sheet.

We got to develop those resources

And what have we done across that

Producing record amounts of of oil, record amounts of gas

Uh and and again, we set out with a goal, energy diplomacy, sell energy to our friends and allies

We're exporting a record amount of energy uh to all of our friends and allies around the world

that's helping uh do that.

And you're giving a gift to America as we head into this

You're giving us peace abroad and you're giving us prosperity at home

Uh that bodess so well for our country

Uh, one small little gift that we're giving to all Americans from one teeny part of Interior, which is the national parks, is that not only we're keeping prices low for all American citizens, offering 10 free days for our national parks next year to to conso side with with our holidays, but also a $100 sir charge for non-residents that is going to raise

hundreds of millions of dollars for our for all of for helping restore and preserve all of our best parks

So, as we close out with it, I want to also say a big celebration going on here in Washington DC

We've been uh thrilled to be part of the National Park Service, the US Park Police, part of this great effort across a number of us on making DC safe and beautiful.

Uh this will be the safest and most beautiful capital in the world

Uh we are doing so many things, whether it's hundreds of homeless camps, uh thousands of graffiti sites, cleaning up ponds and fountains, uh preparing this thing

the the United States is never going to be performing better economically.

It's never going to be looking better

Uh just like the White House has never looked better

All because of your vision leadership

Uh so again, thank you, sir

Uh you've given an incredible Christmas gift to Americans by setting us up for an incredible 250th anniversary. >> That's very nice

Thank you, Doug, very much. >> Well, thank you, Mr

President.

First of all, this is a very talented team as you've seen and as you know, because you picked every single one that's on you deserve tremendous credit for doing that

It's an honor to be in this role

It's also an honor to be involved in and be a witness to what I believe is the most transformational year in American foreign policy since the end of the Second World War at least.

And it's transformational because for the first time in a long time, we have a president who basically puts America at the forefront of every decision we make in our relations with the world

And that may sound weird to people like, "Of course you always do." No, that hasn't always been the case until about a year ago.

And I and I think we've all witnessed in our own respective spaces how in every interaction the president has with the world, the goal he has in mind is very simple

Does what you want us to do or is it what we're or is it going to make us stronger

Is it going to make us richer

Is it going to make us safer

If it is, he's for it.

If it's not, he's against it

If something's going to make America weaker or poorer or less safe, the president's going to be against it

And every single thing he has done in our foreign policy has been driven by the American people in mind

And I can go down the list

Why has he focused on mass migration

It's very simple.

Because no country is safe if you can just walk in without us knowing who you are into your country

We've seen the destruction that that's wreaking not just in our own country, but the impact that it's having in Europe and in many other parts of the world

You talk about trade deals and the trade situation's been involved in people, you know, all this reporting on it

It's very simple.

The president views the last 40 years as an era of which American and American workers and American farmers have been ripped off

they've been ripped off

And what he's saying is, "We want to have trade with the world, but it has to be a trade in which American businesses and American workers and the products they make and and what American farmers grow and produce has a fair shot to be sold around the world on issue after issue.

That's been the case

You talk about foreign aid reforms

This is not our money

This is taxpayer money." And what the president has said is we're going to do foreign aid, but we're going to do foreign aid for countries that are aligned with the United States and in a way that doesn't waste the taxpayers money

Mr.

Mr

President, you deserve tremendous credit for that

Many of us, the vice president, by the way, I want to acknowledge has played an extraordinary role in our foreign policy and he too has been a witness to all of this as it's been occurring and he's been a big part of it as well

You talk about NATO, president's not against NATO.

He went to NATO and basically said, "Look, you guys were paying all the money and he got them to do the 5% commitment, which everybody said was never going to happen

It was impossible." Everything this president does is driven by the American people

Whether you you don't have to agree with the actual move, but understand the motivation.

The motivation is always you, the American people, and what's good for you, for your family, for the country, and for our economy

But the president is also committed to peace in a way that all of us have seen

He achieved in Gaza

And he does it, by the way, not just because he hates war and he thinks wars are a waste of money and lives, but because he's the only leader in the world that can.

No other leader in the world could have pulled off what happened in Gaza

And I can tell you, I can't get into the details

The vice president knows what I'm talking about

That deal doesn't happen without the president's direct interaction with the leaders that were involved in this decision-making.

And everyone said that deal couldn't hold

And then the president shepherded through the United Nations of all places to get a global coalition of countries to line up behind the peace deal, behind the border peace

And it's still an every day is a challenge, but it's been driven personally by the president

It's the reason why we're involved in this whole Ukraine Russia conflict.

That's not our war

It's not the president's war

This war started

It never would have happened if you'd been president

But this war is going on and the president is trying to end it

Not because, listen, we got a million things to focus on in the world as a country

But he's the only leader in the world that can help end it.

And that's why we're that's why even as we speak to you now, uh Steve Woodoff is in Moscow trying to find a way to end this war to save lives of 8 9,000 people, Mr

President, as you know, are dying every week

More people are dying a week in that war than have died in the entirety of the US's involvement in Afghanistan or Iraq

Just think about that how bloody and destructive it is.

The president's taken on this issue of Sudan personally, not send out deputies to do it

Again, far away from the United States, because he's the only leader in the world that can bring it about to an end

Not to mention all the other peace deals, very dangerous ones like India and Pakistan or Cambodia and Thailand.

And and so on all these things, Mr

President, I think you deserve tremendous credit for the transformational aspect of our foreign policy

For the first time in probably four decades, the American foreign policy is driven by what is good for America and Americans

Whether it makes us safer and stronger and more prosperous

If it is, he's for it.

If it doesn't, he's against it

And that sort of clarity is transformational

I close with this, and I know I'm last, so I wanted to be fast, but there was a lot to cover

I do want to say this is the most wonderful and magical time of the year

By that, of course, I'm referring to the college football playoffs.

And um I just want to say this as a point of personal privilege

If if and I'm a Florida Gator, but if the University of Miami gets screwed out of the college football playoffs after going 10 and two and beating Notre Dame, the whole thing should be scrapped and you're going to have to take over next year. >> That's great.

>> Well, thank you all very much

It was terrific. [clears throat] I hope it wasn't too long, but it was very concise

And uh we've done a lot

This group has done a lot

Amazing

Everyone, everybody at this table has done a fantastic

As Suzie, thank you for doing a great job

As our chief has said, first female chief of staff in the history of our country, which is pretty amazing when you think of it, right

And she's the best

Thank you very much.

Great job. [applause] >> So after that, do you want to ask any questions

Mr

President, Mr

President, you there's been a lot of speculation about who the next Fed chairman could possibly be

You said you have somebody in mind

How many names were you given on the final list and does that person currently work on the board of Federal Reserve? >> Well, I'd say that we probably looked at 10 >> and Scott interviewed some people that I didn't know and but he knew and uh a lot of people were involved in the process

actually and Howard was involved

Uh, but I think we probably looked at 10 and and we have it down to one. >> Can you answer that? [laughter] >> I want to ask you about Elon Musk if I could

You talked about Elon Musk

You had him in dinner here in the White House

Is he now back in your circle of friends? >> Well, I really don't know.

I mean, I I like Elon a lot

He was a very uh he really helped during the election with his endorsement

He felt strongly

Look, we had one problem

you know, I didn't want to have everybody have to have an electric car, and he makes electric cars

And uh yeah, I think we get I think we get along well. >> On affordability, >> one more

Yeah.

When you talk about affordability, um is going forward, are the American people, do you believe, uh getting impatient with the reforms that you're making

They've talked about it's about >> I think they're getting fake news from guys like you

Look, uh, affordability is a hoax that was started by Democrats who caused the problem of pricing and they didn't end it.

When look, they lost in a landslide

We won every swing state

We won the popular vote

We won everything

You take a look at districts

It was 2,750 to 500, 525

Um, because that was an affordability problem

We brought it down

Look at energy

Look at look at the gasoline price

That's like the simplest and it's the biggest because if energy comes down, everything comes down.

That's the way it works

Uh we going to be at 250

You said 199 in some places in the country, right

Because you said it

I didn't say >> and uh they won't check you, they'll check me

So, you know, I like to use your your number. 199 a gallon

Unthinkable

If you go back a year and a half ago, it's unthinkable.

So, uh, no, we're bringing the prices down, way down

Beef is coming down now

We've done certain magic and beef is coming down

Uh, but we inherited horrible prices

We inherited really uh the worst again the worst inflation in history

We inherited that when I came in

That's what he had

And we fixed inflation

And we fixed almost everything if you want to know the truth

Including eight wars.

We got one to go, but including eight wars

But when they always say, I watched today where they have a race going on right now in Tennessee

And this woman goes, "Affordability, affordability

They're the ones that caused the problem

The prices were way high

We're bringing the prices down." But they're like scam artists, you know

They're con I call them con men and women.

They come out, they say affordability, like, "Oh, oh, I see prices." Uh we're going to get prices down still further, but we brought them down from the prices they cost

The reason that they had the highest inflation in the history of our country is because they had the highest prices, but we brought them down and now we have normal inflation.

>> Uh yeah, please. >> Mr

President, thank you so much for taking questions as well. >> I wanted to clarify something that you had said on Sunday regarding the boat strikes near Venezuela

You had said that you didn't know if the second strike on that one vote had happened, but you wouldn't have wanted it.

Now that your administration has acknowledged that it happened, do you support that second strike

And Mr

Secretary, I wanted to clarify something you had said in the interview back in September, I believe on Fox News, you said that you would watch that strike live on television in real time

Did you know that there were survivors after the initial strike? >> Well, look, uh, all I know is this.

every boat that you see get blown up, we save 25,000 on average lives. 25,000 lives

They've been sending enough uh of this horrible fentinel and and other things like cocaine and other things, but fentanyl right now is the leader of the pack to kill our entire nation because a little speck on the head of a pin can kill somebody.

It's very dangerous stuff

I know so many people where their sons were drug addicts

They had one little sample and they died

They died

They were they couldn't believe it

As far as the attack is concerned, I didn't, you know, I still haven't gotten a lot of information because I rely on Pete, but to me it was an attack.

It wasn't one strike, two strikes, three strikes

Somebody asked me a question about the second strike

I didn't know about the second strike

I didn't know anything about people

I wasn't involved in it

I knew they took out a boat

But I would say this, uh, they had a strike

I hear the gentleman that was in charge of that is extraordinary.

He's a extraordinary person

I'll let Pete Pete speak about him

Uh, but Pete was satisfied

Uh, Pete didn't know about second attack having to do with two people

Uh, and uh, I guess Pete would have to speak to it

I can say this, I want those boats taken out

And if we have to, we'll attack on land also, just like we attack on sea.

And there's very little coming in by sea

I think we've knocked out over 90% of it

There's very little and I understand that

Uh there's very little

We're saving hundreds of thousands of lives with those pinpoint attacks

It's an amazing thing when you see a boat going along

And you know, a lot of the press would like to say they're not.

You see the boat, they're not maybe drugs

You see these boats

First of all, who has five engines on the back of a boat going in weird directions and loaded up with lots of white containers

They're all their bags of things

Uh, no, they've done an amazing job and Peter has done an amazing job

Pete, you [clears throat] could probably better answer the question

No, you're spot on, sir.

Uh, I think you got to start with the baseline, which Marco laid out, everybody's laid out

You got 20 million people invading our country over four years

We don't know where they're coming from

That includes trend aragua and cartels and violent criminals

They bring drugs and you mentioned it, Mr

President, poisoning an intentional poisoning of the American people, killing hundreds of thousands of Americans.

So, the president had the courage to designate these cartels as designated terrorist organizations

Now, a number of us here served in the military and spent 20 years fighting terrorists like al-Qaeda and ISIS on the other side of the world

How do you treat al-Qaeda and ISIS

Do you arrest them and treat them, pat them on the head and say, "Don't do that again.

" Or do you end the problem directly by taking a lethal kinetic approach

And that's the way President Trump has authorized the War Department to look at these cartels

And I wish everybody could be in the room watching our professionals, our professionals like Mitch Bradley, Admiral Mitch Bradley and others at Jacock and SOCOM and other commanders.

the deliberative process, the detail, the rigorous, the intel, the legal, the evidence-based way that we're able to with sources and methods that we can't reveal here that make sure that every one of those drug boats is tied to a designated terrorist organization

We know who's on it, what they're doing, what what they're carrying.

All these white bales are not Christmas gifts from Santa

Uh this is drugs running on four motor fast boats or submarines that we've also struck

No one's fishing on a submarine

uh and I have empowered them to make that call

Now, the first couple of strikes, as you would, as any leader would want, you want to own that responsibility.

So, I said, I'm going to be the one to make the call after getting all the information and make sure it's the right strike

That was September 2nd

There's a lot of intelligence that goes into that, building that case and understanding that, a lot of people providing information

I watched that first strike live.

Uh, as you can imagine, at the Department of War, we got a lot of things to do

So I didn't stick around for the hour and two hours whatever where all the sensitive site exploitation digitally occurs

So I moved on to my next meeting

Couple of hours later I learned that that commander had made the which he had the complete authority to do.

And by the way, Admiral Bradley made the correct decision to ultimately sink the boat and eliminate the threat

He sunk the boat, sunk the boat and eliminated the threat

And uh he was the right call

We have his back and the American people are safer because narot terrorists know you can't bring drugs through the water and eventually on land if necessary >> have to do >> to the American people.

We will eliminate that threat and we're proud to do it. >> So you didn't see any survivors to be clear after that first strike

You personally >> I did not personally see survivors but I stand because the thing was on fire

It was exploded and fire smoke

You can't see anything

You got digital there

This is called the fog of war.

This is what you and the press don't understand

You sit in your air conditioned offices or up on Capitol Hill and you nitpick and you plant fake stories in the Washington Post about kill everybody phrases on anonymous sources not based in anything not based in any truth at all and then you want to throw out really irresponsible terms about American heroes about the judgment that they made.

I wrote a whole I wrote a whole book on this topic because of what politicians and the press does to war fighters

President Trump has empowered commanders, commanders to do what is necessary, which is dark and difficult things in the dead of night on behalf of the American people

We support them and we will stop the poisoning of the American people.

>> And Mr

Secretary, on the second strike, you said it happened more than an hour after the first. >> I couldn't tell you the exact amount of time >> minutes or who had left the room. >> I already stated my answer quite clearly. >> So remember this, uh, we lost last year

I think it was more than that, but you know, people don't like saying it because they always said 100,000, 115,000 numbers we've been hearing for years.

So, we lost last year more than 200,000 people, dead people, ruined families beyond the 200,000

And those 200,000, that family will never be the same

But these people have killed over 200,000 people, actually killed over 200,000 people last year

And uh those numbers are down

Those numbers are down

They're way down

And they're down because we're doing these strikes.

And we're going to start doing those strikes on land, too

You know, the land is much easier

It's much easier

And we know the routes they take

We know everything about them

We know where they live

We know where the bad ones live

And we're going to start that very soon, too. >> Thank you so much, Mr. >> And you know what

While we start that, we're going to drive those numbers down so low.

And then you're gonna have families be able to live without the fear of their son or daughter just having a pill to have a little fun and ending up dying within a period of 60 seconds

Right

No, we're not going to let that happen

We're not going to let it continue to happen

What Biden did to this country by allowing all these people, and I I call them animals in many cases.

I think they're animals to come into our country and destroy our country and let all those drugs pour in

let people just walk across the border like it was nothing

You look at them, a lot of them, you know, you say, "Oh, let's not discriminate." I'm not talking about color

I'm just talking about, you look into the eyes of some of these people

We're smart.

And you see a killer

Come on in

Just come on in. 11,888 murderers

Many of them committed more than one murder

He allowed him into our country totally unvented, totally unchecked

But he also allowed drugs to come in at record numbers and hundreds of thousands of people a year died and we're taking those son of a out

Yeah.

>> Thank you so much, Mr

President, for taking your questions

I think this is the most transparent decision I ever seen. >> I'm impressed by these people that I'll tell you how strongly you you've been holding [laughter] for two hours

You know, there are very few physically there are very few people could do

I'm very proud of you.

Anyway, I have no idea who you are, but you're small. [laughter] >> Thank you

Thank you, Mr

President

Mr

President, last week militia groups in Iraq attacked the Christian region's gas, the largest gas, which even the US companies invested in the energy sector in the Christian region

And the Christian prime minister requested the United States to provide them some sorts of means and defense systems in defending their civilian infrastructure and US investment in the Christian region

Are you willing to providing

them this support

And if I had this question, tomorrow the United States is going to open an AR3. >> Can you speak louder? >> Yeah, of course. >> Is that possible? >> The most gentle, beautiful voice

I'm a gentle person

Go ahead

Just take fewer words and louder. >> Yeah, sure. [laughter] >> Uh I will repeat my first question.

Last last week the Iraqi militia groups attacked one of the largest gas field in the Kurdistan region of Iraq which even the US companies have invested in this gas fields. >> Yeah. >> And then you from Iraq? >> I'm from Kurdistan

Iraqi Kurdistan. >> Yeah

Working for Ruda media network and the Kurdistan region prime minister he requested the United States to providing them some sorts of defense system to defending these guys build this and use investment in the Christian region.

Are you willing to helping them

Well, we're going to look at it

I heard about it and I'm hearing about it more now

Frankly, it wasn't at the top of my list

It's a very unusual question, I think, but I assumed you're from the area

To you, it's a very important question and to me it is also because people are being killed.

I will say this, Iraq uh has been much different in terms of us uh than they were prior to us taking out the nuclear capability of Iran

You know, Iran has gone down many, many steps in terms of its fear factor

They were the bully of the Middle East, and they're really not the bully of the Middle East anymore.

And uh Iraq was being bullied by Iran

You had a president that thought it was brilliant to blow them up, and they blew them up and all of a sudden instead of having a power that was basically equal to Iran, they had Iran ruling the Middle East for a long period of time

Uh but Iraq from the day we hit him with those B2 bombers and knocked out and obliterated because CNN said, "Well, maybe it wasn't total oblit.

" Well, it turned out was totally obliteration

It was every single one of those missiles hit its target

It was actually amazing

But uh it was wiped out

Totally wiped out

Uh I will tell you, Iraq has been a much friendlier place

They talked to us

Uh the prime minister actually nominated me along with about 78 other countries for the Nobel Prize.

I'm the only one that was nominated by almost a hundred countries that didn't get it

But that's okay

But I saved a lot of lives

I saved a lot of lives

But Iraq uh nominated us for the Nobel Prize and that was great honor

You know, we didn't expect that from Iraq

Iraq has been a much different place since uh the taking out of Iran, the nuclear capability

Yeah.

Let's get to another meeting. >> Here we go

This guy's a beauty. >> Secretary Rubio mentioned the meetings ongoing in Russia today

Do you have any update for Mr

Wickoff or Mr

Kushner

No

On that >> because I've been spending too much time with you

I mean, we're spending a lot of time in here.

We wanted to do this very You talk about being open and transparent

This has to be the most transparent administration in history

Uh, you know, we spent a lot of time answering your questions and giving you a lot of good, you know, good results

I mean, I think everybody here gave you good results

But no, I don't I will have after I leave here.

>> But do you hope for a breakthrough or is it not? >> I don't know

Look, I I don't know

I all I can tell you is that uh we're trying very hard to get to save 25 to 30,000 people, mostly men, mostly soldiers every month. 25,000 to 30,000 soldiers

It's impossible

That's half a stadium

Take a big football stadium.

That's take half of those people in a stadium and they're wiped out

They're killed every month

It's crazy

That war is crazy and would have never happened with me and it would and it didn't happen for four years. >> You just mentioned such potential land strikes

Can you elaborate anything on that

Are you talking to elaborate if they come in through a certain country or any country or if we think they're building mills for uh whether it's fentanyl or cocaine co I hear Colombia, the country of Colombia is making cocaine

They have cocaine manufacturing

plants

Okay

and then they sell us their cocaine

We appreciate that very much

But yeah, anybody that's doing that and selling it into our country is subject to attack. >> Not necessarily just Venezuela. >> No, not just Venezuela

No, >> Venezuela has been very bad

Venezuela has been really bad in something else, probably worse than most, but a lot of other people do it, too.

They would send murderers into our country

They would empty their jails into our country

They sent people into our country that we don't want

They sent their drug dealers and their drug people into our country

They sent people from their mental institutions into our country and we're getting them out

That was bad.

That was real bad

And they also sent drugs

Yeah. >> On Tim Walls, Mr

President, do you think he should resign over the fraud scandal in his state? >> That who should? >> Tim Walls over the fraud scandal in his state. >> Look, I think the man's a grossly incompetent man

I thought that from the day I watched JD destroy him in the debate, [laughter] I was saying who was more incompetent, that man or my man.

I had a man and he had a man

They were both incompetent

And uh I had a man and a woman

I thought she was very incompetent, too

But now she's leading the field

And I think she's leading the field in this for the nomination

Anyway, look, that's up to them

That's up to the Democrats

You know, the problem with them is they have really bad policy.

And I'm not going to say what it is because I don't want them to change it necessarily [laughter] because I want to run against it

Uh whether it's uh it's not going to be me

It's going to be somebody that's going to probably sitting at this table. >> Could be a couple of people sitting at this table.

Could be a couple of people running together sitting at this table, you know

But uh I want them to win because we've done a great job for this country and I want that to be carried forward

Uh and you know I think we have I think we have a tremendous bench really a tremendous bench but uh no I I think that Waltz is a grossly incompetent man.

There's something wrong with him

Okay there's something wrong with them

And when you look at what he's done with Somalia, where Somalia, which is barely a country, you know, they have no they have no anything

They just run around killing each other

There's no structure

And when I see somebody like Ilhan Omar, who I don't know at all, but I always watch her for years.

I've watched her complain about our Constitution, how she's being treated badly

Our Constitution, the United States of America, is a bad place

hates everybody, hates Jewish people, hates everybody

Uh, and I think she's an incompetent person

She's a real little terrible person

But when I watch what is happening in Minnesota, the land of a thousand lakes or however many lakes they have, they got a lot of lakes, but this beautiful place.

And I see these people ripping it off

And now I'm understanding, and you're going to look at that, Scott

I hear they ripped off Somalians

Ripped off that state for billions of dollars

Billions every year

Billions of dollars and they contribute nothing

The welfare is like 88%

They contribute nothing

I don't want them in our country.

I'll be honest with you

Okay

Somebody would say, "Oh, that's not politically correct

I don't care

I don't want them in our country

Their country is no good for a reason

Their country stinks

And we don't want them in our country

I could say that about other countries, too.

I can say it about other countries, too

We don't want them to hell

We got to We have to rebuild our country

You know, our country is at a tipping point

We could go bad

We're at a tipping point

I don't know if people mind me saying that, but I'm saying it

Uh, we could go one way or the other and we're going to go the wrong way if we keep taking in garbage into our country.

Elon Omar is garbage

She's garbage

Her friends are garbage

These aren't people that work

These aren't people that say, "Let's go

Come on

Let's make this place great." These are people that do nothing but complain

They complain

And from where they came from, they got nothing

You know, they came from paradise and they said, "This isn't paradise.

" But when they come from hell and they complain and do nothing but we don't want them in our country

Let them go back to where they came from and fix it. >> Thank you very much everybody

Thank you guys

Thank you very much.
