So when do you expect, are we going to see in the second half of the year, more sunlight on the president's energy agenda? Absolutely. Oh, it'll unfold throughout this year. The first step is the one big beautiful bill. There's a lot of key things for energy in there. It's some permitting reform, it's some mandated lease sales, things that we should be doing in law, but the Biden administration stopped. And heck, another huge thing I can't help but mention, about a trillion dollars, more than a trillion dollars of subsidies were slated under current law over the next decade. Over a trillion dollars. And what do we get in benefit? We get more expensive electricity and forced to buy an EV and you can't choose the car of your choice. So the one big beautiful bill is key in ending the EV mandate, getting rid of most over a half a trillion dollars of subsidies that are paid for by American taxpayers, while at the same time, reducing upward prices on energy.

Lower prices, lower taxes, more jobs, better paying jobs, more money in people's pockets. That's what the American people voted for. They rejected the Democrats last time because they were the party of high prices and open borders. They wanted the Republicans to bring to them safety and prosperity. And that's what this is all about. Money in their pockets, better jobs, and bringing jobs back home from overseas.

If you look at what he did to the border is so bad, so much of my time is spent on the border. You know, last month we had no people coming. I know. But the bad part is he let in 21 million people and we have to check those people. Totally unvented, totally unchecked. And 11,888 have murdered people. Half of them have murdered more than one person. People come in from gangs, from prisons. They emptied out Venezuela, emptied out its prisons.

Well, those pilots were so courageous and, you know, you want to honor them. Are you going to do something for them? Yes, they're going to come to the White House. But what you said is right. These people flew 36 hours in a small space, a big plane, but a small space was mostly occupied by bombs and they flew so brilliantly and they hit a target the size of this circle, the little target, they say half the size of a refrigerator door from 50,000 feet up in the air, going at a rapid speed because they're going very fast when they, you know, they're over a pretty rough territory and they hit it every single time and then they knocked out two other sites aside from that.

They didn't move anything. They didn't move anything. They didn't move anything. You know, they moved themselves. They were all trying to live. They didn't move anything. They didn't think it was going to be actually doable, what we did. And what we did was amazing. And they, you know, we went there were energy commissions that went there now. It's just thousands of tons of rock in that room right now. That room, the whole place was just destroyed. And the other two also now, as you was able to do damage, but we did the final damage and we have the greatest submarines in the world. We launched 30 rockets from submarines. Every single one of them hit that target.

Mr. President, you were just coming off of one of the most consequential weeks anybody has ever seen, from striking Iran to going to NATO, to announcing two deals, and then the Supreme Court victory. Have you been able to digest what has occurred in the last seven days? Not really. It was a pretty wild period of time, and I really think in six months we've taken the country and turned it around. And I was told by the King of Saudi Arabia, by the leader of Qatar and the leader of UAE, when we went over there, we worked back $5.1 trillion investment into the United States. They said, "You know, you're presiding now over the hottest country in the world, and a year ago we thought your country was dead. It could never come back." It was so incompetently run by a very bad president, and I said, "You're right. This country is hot." And that was a couple of months ago, you know? Now we're talking about what we've done recently, so the country is really going, and the numbers are great. I watch you in the mornings, and you're giving those numbers, and they're really good. No inflation. We have a bad Fed chairman, but other than that, we have, you know, great. It doesn't even matter. The numbers are so good, it doesn't matter that he keeps the rates artificially high. But it's been an amazing, it's been an amazing period of time.

spending cut in American history, a $1.6 trillion spending cut, getting rid of the Green New Deal scams from the Biden administration. And it's the biggest tax cut in American history for working class families, for mechanics, for factory workers, teachers, beauticians, the working class men and women of this country who just gave President Trump a historic election victory. Taxes are gonna follow through and extend the Trump tax cuts, no taxes on tips, no taxes on overtime, and America is gonna be healthier, the economy's gonna be stronger for it. And then we'll move on to the next bill, and hopefully do even more in spending cuts and helping the American people even more after that.

>> What we're doing is cutting the waste, fraud and abuse, and I wanna use that word abuse, out of the Medicaid system and make sure it's for the people that it was originally intended for. Keep in mind right now, there's 35 million people that live under the poverty line inside the United States. Yet there's 70 million that's on Medicaid. Now it's unsustainable. Medicaid was designed for those in the most dire need, and that's what we need to make sure it's there for. Now what people are upset about, especially in states, is ever since Obamacare, there's been this loophole that allows the states to actually charge providers an exorbitant amount to pay their share. And so instead of the states paying their share, they're charging the providers, which one requires the United States taxpayers and other states to offset these high provider taxes inside different states. North Carolina has a high provider tax. What we're saying is it needs to be even. Every state should be the same, and so we're gradually bringing down what states provide and making it even across the board. And so there's an even playing field. So one state like Oklahoma is an offsetting high provider taxes in North Carolina or California.

We have been working on this, Jake, since September. Tirelessly thinking about what we would do when we took control. We've had over 50, 51 meetings about this. These different provisions that have been put out, as they've been put out, we've been reading, we've been talking, we've been figuring out how we can make them best for the American people. Because at the end of the day, we know we have to deliver results. President Trump ran on this. He said, "We are going to change America for the better. We're gonna make sure that hard-working people can keep more of their money. We're gonna make sure that we have secure borders, not just now, but for generations to come. We're gonna make sure that we have a strong national defense so that our warfighter is the best trained, equipped, and ready across the planet. We're gonna unleash American energy. And we're gonna make sure that people who have been unseen are seen. We wanna make sure that these programs are available for the people who need them. And we wanna make sure that people who are working know that we see them and that they have a greater opportunity to achieve the American dream. And that's what this bill does.

His week of wins that he had last year were so extraordinary, and for those of us who would love to see Donald Trump on Mount Rushmore, he made the deal. He made the case last week. It was absolutely extraordinary. You start Monday, he arranges ceasefire between Israel and Iran. On Tuesday, he drives plans for NATO allies to ramp up their defense spending so that we don't have any more wars. On Wednesday, he confirms talks with Iran for next week. Thursday, all these companies, not with federal regulation, but just by talking about it, all of these private companies like Nestle joins a growing list of companies to implement the Maha practices where they get rid of these artificial dyes. Friday, Supreme Court makes it far more difficult for these lower court judges to put in these injunctions, these wacky injunctions that make the rest of the country suffer for what some random federal court judge nobody's ever heard of puts into place. And then on Saturday, he manages to get his big, beautiful bill passed through. And don't forget, Charlie, the stock market hit a record high as well.
