President Trump is also urging Congress to act on birthright citizenship after the Supreme Court struck down his executive order which banned birthright. Congressman, you've introduced the Birthright Claim Act in the House. Tell us about that. Yeah, so Kavanaugh, in his concurrence opinion on that opinion from the Supreme Court, kind of gave Congress a path. He basically said Congress needs to act, the president can't do it on its own, and said that two illegal immigrants or illegals in our country who come into the country to simply have a child so that child is an American citizen is not appropriate and Congress can regulate that. If you read his concurrence, he kind of laid out a path for Congress to change it. So as soon as we read that, we started drafting a bill that would do exactly that. If the parents of the child are not citizens of our country, then that child automatically cannot become a citizen of our country. This would end the birth, birth, birth tourism industry that is going on. So we had an intelligence hearing yesterday and there was a witness that testified that 1.5 million children have been born of Chinese descent in a birthright tourism type industry where they come into the country, they, they, they are born here so now they're an American citizen and then they go back to China. There's no other country, there's like three other countries in the world that do it and it's a list of countries like the Congo. I had dinner with a group from Guatemala yesterday, they, they don't allow these type of things to happen. There's no country in the world that allows these things to happen and if Congress has to regulate it, we filed a bill to do it, Jim Banks has a bill on the Senate side to do it. I'm just afraid of the timeline now because you've only got a few months left in Congress but these are the type of things that conservatives want done. This is why we want an immigration bill in the house to vote on and this should be a part of it. Yeah, that's all great points. In fact then, you know, once they are born here, they have the ability to vote. Whether they're in China, much of their life or not, they can still vote here because they're American citizen. So the birthright citizenship is a, is a real issue.

Pennsylvania workers will build the ships, submarines, trucks, weapons, and industries that will ensure America remains the strongest and most powerful nation in the history of the history of the world. We're doing better now than we've ever done.

Okay, so month over month we came down four tenths of a percent, so negative read on the headline month to month. We were looking for one tenths of a percent to the downside, we got four tenths to the downside. All right, year over year, listen to this, 3.5 percent. The street was looking for a gain of 3.8 percent. We got 3.5 percent and last month's read was 4.2, so look at that decline there. Okay, core month over month CPI flat, zero. The street was looking for a gain of two tenths of a percent. And then also core year over year, all of this better than expected, 2.6 percent is the core number. We were looking for 2.8 percent. That is also a nice decline from last month.

[MUSIC PLAYING] We just wrapped up the pit stop. First ever pit stop here at the White House. What an incredible experience. And this is all to celebrate America's 250th. We can't wait to see you on August 23. What do we have to wait for, David? This was just a little taste of the pit stop that we're going to have in a race scenario. We're all going to be pushing the limits, everything you can. It's going to be beautiful chaos is how I would explain it. Goosebumps, it's everything you're going to want to be. It's the best way to celebrate America's 250th. So make sure you're there. [MUSIC PLAYING]

We just concluded a very successful NATO summit here in Turkey, and I want to thank President Erdogan, who's really a great man, he's a great leader. And I also want to thank NATO Secretary General Mark Wuta. Mark is an extraordinary person, smart, great leader, it's not easy leading so many leaders like that. Over the course of the past two days, I had a number of excellent discussions with other the leaders of the summit and held productive bilateral meetings with President Erdogan of Turkey, as well as President Zelensky and President al-Sharab, Syria, who's doing an unbelievable job in unifying Syria, what a job he's doing. In every conversation, it was clear that America is back and we're stronger, bigger, and better than ever before. This was a tremendously successful summit. I just want to say there was tremendous love in that room. [MUSIC PLAYING]

Today, we're thrilled to officially launch the Trump accounts. On Saturday, July 4th, administration deposited one-time seed contributions, $1,000 each into the Trump accounts of over 500,000 American children. We're very excited to be here at the White House today to celebrate the launch of the Trump accounts and the meaningfulness that it has for our family of six and the families all across the country. We're so happy to be here at the White House celebrating the Trump accounts. We're so proud of President Trump and the work he's done to help give this guy a little start. We wanted to thank you for giving a once-in-a-generation opportunity to kids like mine with the announcement of your Trump accounts. Today, I got to go into the Oval Office for the bell ringing. I actually have a small business of my own, and having the Trump accounts is going to be very helpful for my business to be able to grow. We just wanted to say thank you to President Trump for opening the Trump accounts for trading and helping us to start our child's future. The great thing about Trump accounts is they deliver on the promise of ownership and skin in the game from birth. They also build an appreciation for our great country, and we're proud to serve as the initial broker and trustee for this amazing program. And today, we're here for a first. So, Jeff, do you want to talk about it being a first? This is a first. It's a first that you and I are together ringing a bell. It is, the first time in our history that NASDAQ and the New York Stock Exchange have come together. We've come together for the Trump accounts, which is truly an incredible creation that President Trump has led for us. This Trump account is so important to our country that we have to set aside our differences for one day and say, let's get together and let's really make sure that everyone understands that capitalism and the ability to participate in this country is the best thing that we can give to the next generation. And so every newborn in this country can get a Trump account, where they get money put into it. It's an investment account that they can save for their entire childhood, and they can be a part of the U.S. economy. We're very excited.

As I stand by the Declaration of Independence, which is a great honor, I keep hearing so much about TikTok and all of the influence they have and that how it's unfair and how it's this and that. But here's the only problem. I'm number one on TikTok. Can you believe it? I'm number one. Look at those numbers. Billions and billions of people are looking at Trump. And I keep hearing about the influence other people have. I don't know. How come I'm number one if they have so much influence? Here's your number, so I think we have influence, too. and I'm saying stop communism.

Donald was the young man and he was going to conquer Manhattan. He takes chances that would make a less daring man shudder. To think about the arc of where he's been in, it's like some sort of mythical story or something. This sounds like political presidential talk to me. Donald Fump seems to always get stronger with challenge. My God, that guy's got resilience. Those who deal with you underestimate you, but to regret it. It's always good to be underestimated. It is not about politics. It's about our love for this great country, America. And we're not going to let it fail. I will fight like no one has ever fought before. Trump is the bodyguard of Western civilization. You want to talk about a fighter, a walk-through fire? He's an absolute savage. He knows that this is much bigger than him. This is about the American people. They have no idea what they have unleashed. He was ready to go face the cameras and come out swinging. What will future Americans say we did in our brief time here on Earth? It will be defined by your vision, your perseverance, and your grit. Nothing will sway us. Nothing will slow us. And no one will ever stop us. We are Americans. Ambition is our heritage. Greatness is our birthright. And the future belongs to us.

Looking around this room today, I'm humbled and inspired by the convergence of talent, experience, and patriotism gathered in this room. We've got defense CEOs, tech pioneers, capital allocators, investors, military officers, and the way I think about this is the three amigos of America's defense. Funders, founders, and fighters, and you got to have all three to drive America's combat capability. The collective brainpower, energy, and experience of all of you in this room represents what I believe to be America's single, greatest strategic advantage, and that's each and every one of you. It's a powerful reminder, and we should never forget this, that when we go fight our nation's wars, we never do it alone. It is always with our private sector partners. Your continued innovation, your shared commitment to this mission are not just helpful, my friends. It's essential, and as we look at the tapestry and the landscape, the global environment that we're operating in right now, I couldn't be more grateful for each and every one of you, and this is an important time. It's complex, it's dynamic, and it's consequential for our nation's security and our shared future.
