  Speaker 5: a big list of achievements, including immigration and border security
• 1:10
  Speaker 5: with significant reduction illegal border crossings. We also know that
• 1:14
  Speaker 5: there has been economic and regulatory measures at the White

  Speaker 5: House's touting as well, including job creation with approximately three
• 1:21
  Speaker 5: hundred and forty five thousand jobs that have already been added,

  Speaker 5: with over half in the non government sectors such as
• 1:28
  Speaker 5: construction and mining, indicating growth in the private industry employment,
• 1:33
  Speaker 5: which is so important to the Trump administration. We've also
• 1:36
  Speaker 5: witnessed energy sector revitalization. The administration prioritized domestic energy production
• 1:42
  Speaker 5: by removing many regulations, aiming to achieve energy independence and
• 1:47
  Speaker 5: stimulate economic growth and lower the prices that you're paying
• 1:51
  Speaker 5: at the pump. We've also had a major trade policy adjustment,
• 1:55
  Speaker 5: new trade policies that have been introduced with the intention
• 1:58
  Speaker 5: of promoting domestic manufacturing and protecting American workers and American industries.
• 2:04
  Speaker 5: It's also been a major point with the President when
• 2:06
  Speaker 5: it comes to the issue of national security. And then
• 2:09
  Speaker 5: there is doge government efficiency and deregulation. We've had executive
• 2:15
  Speaker 5: orders a total of one hundred and forty two executive
• 2:18
  Speaker 5: orders that have been signed focused on reducing bureaucratic red
• 2:21
  Speaker 5: tape and streamlining government operations. Then you have the Department
• 2:26
  Speaker 5: of Government Efficiency led by Elon Musk. This new department
• 2:30
  Speaker 5: aims to identify and eliminate inefficiencies, which are now into
• 2:34
  Speaker 5: the hundreds of billions of dollars. And that's not all
• 2:38
  Speaker 5: cultural and educational initiatives as well, including education reform. The
• 2:43
  Speaker 5: administration has taken major steps to reform educational institutions, emphasizing
• 2:48
  Speaker 5: traditional curriculum and reducing federal oversight getting it back to
• 2:53
  Speaker 5: the States. We've also had a major change in social policies,

  Speaker 5: policies that were implemented to align with traditional sc social values,
• 3:01
  Speaker 5: including actions really to jenior definitions and sports participation, protecting
• 3:06
  Speaker 5: women in sports. Now let's move to foreign policy and
• 3:10
  Speaker 5: international relations. We have had major support coming in from
• 3:13
  Speaker 5: our allies. The administration reaffirmed its support for major allies,
• 3:18
  Speaker 5: aiming to strengthen international partnerships instead of weakening them, which
• 3:22
  Speaker 5: is exactly what happened under the Biden administration. And then
• 3:25
  Speaker 5: trade negotiations, Efforts have been made to reinvigorate trade deals
• 3:30
  Speaker 5: to favor American interests and the goal is to boost
• 3:34
  Speaker 5: the domestic economy and the American workforce. Now, the President
• 3:39
  Speaker 5: decided to highlight all of this at a Michigan rally.
• 3:43
  Speaker 5: Many described as what he does so well at these
• 3:45
  Speaker 5: campaign rallies. But on the one hundredth day, President Trump
• 3:49
  Speaker 5: held the rally in Michigan, declearing his first hundred days
• 3:51
  Speaker 5: as the quote most successful in presidential history, highlighting achievements
• 3:56
  Speaker 5: in immigration, energy, and economic policies that I just mentioned. Now,
• 4:01
  Speaker 5: the President wasn't done there. He also decided it was
• 4:05
  Speaker 5: time to take on the liberal media, and the President
• 4:08
  Speaker 5: United States of America set down in the Oval Office
• 4:10
  Speaker 5: for a one on one interview with ABC News. Now,
• 4:14
  Speaker 5: let me warn you, this is a beat down, and
• 4:18
  Speaker 5: the President of the United States of America didn't hold back.
• 4:21
  Speaker 5: One of the big highlights was when he talked about
• 4:23
  Speaker 5: America and why it's so important that we are respected again.
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: Here's some of that back and forth.
• 4:30
  Speaker 6: Do you think the reputation in the United States has
• 4:33
  Speaker 6: gone down under your presidence?
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: No, I think it's gone way up, and I think
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: we're a respected country again.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: We were left at all over the world.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: We had a president that couldn't walk up a flight
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: of stairs, couldn't walk down a flight of stairs, couldn't
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: walk across the stage without falling.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: We had a president that was grossly incompetent.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: You knew it, I knew it, and everybody knew it,
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: but you guys didn't want to write it because you're
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: fake news.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: All right. By the way, ABC's one of the worst,
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: I have to be honest. Okay, thank you. Now.
• 5:00
  Speaker 5: The President wasn't done there, calling them one of the worst.
• 5:04
  Speaker 5: He also called them out for some of their lives
• 5:07
  Speaker 5: to the American people, even in the interview, saying, you
• 5:10
  Speaker 5: guys are just making it up.
• 5:12
  Speaker 7: A legal note, fraud is a crime. There have been
• 5:14
  Speaker 7: no referrals to the Justice Department at anyway.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: You don't know that, do you. How do you know that.
• 5:20
  Speaker 7: Have there been referrals to the How would you.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: Know that that there were no referrals?
• 5:25
  Speaker 6: I think they generally all right, there's been no investigation
• 5:29
  Speaker 6: from the Host Department.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: That I'm asking you, sir, you're not asking me. You
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: admit a statement. Now I'm asking you there was a
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: statement that you made the head I'm asking you.
• 5:38
  Speaker 6: Have they been yes, So they have been referrals for
• 5:41
  Speaker 6: fraud from the worst.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: Step to take a look at some of these things
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: that took us billions of dollars.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: We give it to people for no reason whatsoever. Of
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: course they have.
• 5:50
  Speaker 5: I love how fast ABC News moves along from that
• 5:54
  Speaker 5: back and forth once they realized the presence gotten them again.
• 5:58
  Speaker 5: And then how about the issue with legal crossings at
• 6:01
  Speaker 5: the southern border. ABC News forced to admit that, yes,
• 6:06
  Speaker 5: in fact, President Donald Trump's plan has worked well.
• 6:11
  Speaker 6: And as you said, it is an undeniable fact that
• 6:15
  Speaker 6: illegal crossings at the southern border have plummeted a staggering decline.
• 6:20
  Speaker 7: But there are questions about your.
• 6:22
  Speaker 6: Methods, and so I want to ask you about my methods,
• 6:25
  Speaker 6: about your methods, how you accomplished seemed to work?
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: Isn't it amazing? ABC News.
• 6:30
  Speaker 5: They're saying, Wow, there's no doubt, undeniable fact that illegal
• 6:34
  Speaker 5: crossings at the southern border have plummeted a staggering decline.
• 6:38
  Speaker 5: But there are questions about your methods, President Trump, Well,
• 6:42
  Speaker 5: they seem to work, yet again, showing them he's not
• 6:45
  Speaker 5: messing around. The President was also asked about his agenda
• 6:49
  Speaker 5: in general and making America great again. And here's what
• 6:53
  Speaker 5: the President had to say about that. One hundred days in.
• 6:56
  Speaker 6: What do you say to people who are concerned you
• 6:58
  Speaker 6: are taking season too much power and becoming an authoritarian.
• 7:03
  Speaker 7: President like we haven't had before.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: No, I would hate them to think that I'm doing
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: one thing. I'm making America great again. We have a
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: country that was failing. We have a country that was
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: left at all over the world. We had a leader
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: that was grossly incompetent. He should have never been there.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: The election was rigged, he should have never been there.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: Our country suffered greatly, and now our country's coming back
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: like nobody can believe. I have editorials just today where
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: they're saying they've never seen anything like it.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: They love it.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: Our country's coming back and we're respected again.
• 7:34
  Speaker 5: President Trump also wasn't done there, calling out the LAFT
• 7:38
  Speaker 5: for what they had done to come after him on
• 7:40
  Speaker 5: revoking the security clearance have proven liars, saying, I don't
• 7:44
  Speaker 5: care if you like it or not. This is what
• 7:46
  Speaker 5: the President's going to do to keep America safe.
• 7:49
  Speaker 7: I'm asking the justification for going after people you don't like.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: No, No, the people that I think are dishonest, it's
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: not that.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: I don't I don't even know most of them. The
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: people that I.
• 8:00
  Speaker 7: Think people make you angry, there's not anger.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: These are people that I think are very dishonest.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: I don't think they're worthy of being able to go
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: into top secret information. I think that's fine, and Biden
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: did that with many of our people. But when you
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: look at it, these are people that I don't think
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: are worthy of That's my decision.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: It's not a question of anger.
• 8:23
  Speaker 5: By the way, these are several people who flat out
• 8:26
  Speaker 5: lied and use the security clearance to lie to the
• 8:28
  Speaker 5: American voters and tell them that the hunter Byden laptop
• 8:32
  Speaker 5: was quote Russian disinformation. Now, one of the main things
• 8:36
  Speaker 5: the President wanted to get across was that we are
• 8:38
  Speaker 5: respected in the world. Again, the president is he described
• 8:42
  Speaker 5: it couldn't even walk up a flight of stairs.
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: Well.
• 8:46
  Speaker 5: Donald Trump also talked about Biden's security clearances and why
• 8:50
  Speaker 5: he believes he shouldn't have them.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: Biden did something to me, and I did something to Biden.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: And you know why I did it because he's grossly incompetent.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: That's not a man that you be allowed to be
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: looking at things that are very confidential. But what because
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: it's in seventy one he is a man that used
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: an autopen to sign very important documents. Now, who really
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: is did do you think he knew what that they
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: were using an autopen. I mean, he used an autopen
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: to sign very very important documents. And so those are
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: really the questions you should be asking, what do you
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: think of the autopen? Who wielded the autopen, because whoever
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: that person.
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: Was, think of it.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: Whoever the person that wielded the autopen, he was really
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: the president of the United States, because I don't think
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: I don't think that Biden knew.
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: Anything about it.
• 9:39
  Speaker 5: I don't think Biden knew anything about it. Referencing the autopen.
• 9:44
  Speaker 5: ABC News wasn't done there with their propaganda. However, when
• 9:48
  Speaker 5: they decided to ask the president, hey, like, are you.
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: Using your powers for personal revenge?
• 9:54
  Speaker 6: Are you using your powers as president to get personal revenge?
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: No, I'll tell you what.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you what you're really not asking, and you
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: should be asking. There has never been a president in
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: this country in the history that was persecuted like I
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: was persecuted by really crooked people, dishonest, horrible people.
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: And has been proven.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: So when you say I'm treating people rough, I'm not
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: treating people rup. I was treated worse than any president
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: in the history of our country. And you know, people
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: figured well maybe that's it. Finally we got you know,
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: he's leaving town. There goes to helicopter, and then I
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: came back. And I came back because I have tremendous support.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: You know, when you went an election like I wanted,
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: and you will admit, I won all seven swing states.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: I won the popular vote.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: I won seven hundred of let's see, two thousand, seven
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: hundred and fifty districts compared to five hundred districts. That's
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: why the map is all read. And those people feel
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: that I was treated unfairly. Now.
• 11:01
  Speaker 5: The President was also asked a question by ABC News
• 11:05
  Speaker 5: about Doge, of course in a negative light. The President
• 11:08
  Speaker 5: fought back on that one as well, saying this.
• 11:12
  Speaker 6: Did Doge go too far, too fast, too reckless.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: No, I think those has been saved. One hundred and
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: fifty billion dollars billion we saved. That's a lot of money.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: There's also a lot of things right now under investigation
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: which is going to increase that amount by a lot.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: That's a tremendous amount of money. There were some things
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: where when I heard about them, I put them back,
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: as you know, there are things that I'm.
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: Considering right now putting back.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: But overall, we've saved hundreds of billions of dollars.
• 11:42
  Speaker 6: Well, the original promise was two trillion, went to one trillion,
• 11:44
  Speaker 6: out to one hundred and fifty million at heading now.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: What it's going to be because we have things that
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: are at a very high level that are being looked
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: at right now. We also found tremendous waste, fraud and abuse.
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: As you know, we found a lot of fraud.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: There was a lot of fraud, Fraudulent things were taken place, and.
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: We ended that. And those people are going to be suffering.
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: Me just the president.
• 12:05
  Speaker 5: Clearly, they are stating that he's doing exactly what the
• 12:08
  Speaker 5: American people want him to do. And when it comes
• 12:11
  Speaker 5: to dogs, they love the fact the President is saving money.
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 12:14
  Speaker 5: Finally, on a foreign affairs issue, the President was asked
• 12:18
  Speaker 5: about Vladimir Putin and Russia and Ukraine, and here is
• 12:22
  Speaker 5: what the President had to say.
• 12:24
  Speaker 6: It does feel like something's happening after that meeting with
• 12:27
  Speaker 6: Zelensky in Saint Peter's.
• 12:29
  Speaker 7: You posted this on social media.
• 12:31
  Speaker 6: There was no reason for Putin to be shooting missiles
• 12:34
  Speaker 6: into civilian areas and cities and towns over the last
• 12:37
  Speaker 6: few days.
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: It makes me think that those part of my posts.
• 12:40
  Speaker 6: But you're right, that was a part of a post,
• 12:42
  Speaker 6: and it says it makes me think that maybe he
• 12:45
  Speaker 6: doesn't want to.
• 12:46
  Speaker 7: Stop the war.
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: He's just tapping me along. Yeah, that's possible.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: He might be. He could be tapping me along a
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: little bit. I would say that he would like to
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: stop the war. I think that if it weren't for me,
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: I think he'd wanted.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: To take over the whole country.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: Personally, I always felt so when I left, there wasn't
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: even a chance that this would happen. When Biden got involved,
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: I won't say whether or not he handled it properly,
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: but obviously it wasn't good because the war started.
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: Putin went in. The war started.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: I believe that Putin wanted to get all of you
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: once he went in, And I think part of the
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: reason he went and he saw what happened in Afghanistan.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: How incompetent, how incompetently million all these guys handled that.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: It was one of the greatest embarrassments of our lifetimes,
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: but maybe in the history of our country.
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: Okay, so Putin went in. I think Putin wanted all
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: of Ukraine.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: I think if I didn't win the election, he would
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: have gotten all of Ukraine.
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: I think he would have taken all of you Crade.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: I think his first choice never with me. He would
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: have never gone in with this group of losers.
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: He went in.
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: He saw what happened in Afghanistan. He said, Wow, this
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: is my chance. Because it was always the apple of
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: his eye. I talked to him, Ukraine was the apple of
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: his eye. I think he wanted the whole country.
• 14:03
  Speaker 7: You've said them once of me.
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: I do believe that he's willing to stop the fighting.
• 14:10
  Speaker 7: Don't forget he wants You think Vladimir Putin wants peace.
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: I think he does. Yes, I think it does.
• 14:17
  Speaker 7: I think he was a reigning missiles.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: I think he really his his dream was to take
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: over the whole country.
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: I think because of me he's not going to do that.
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: Because of me, he's not going to do it.
• 14:29
  Speaker 5: And as for the meeting, was the Lenscape the president
• 14:31
  Speaker 5: summed up the change of heart this way I.
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: Want to turn.
• 14:36
  Speaker 6: I was just in Rome and to that moving photograph
• 14:41
  Speaker 6: of you and Presidents Lensky sitting in Saint Peter's Basilica
• 14:44
  Speaker 6: talking peace.
• 14:45
  Speaker 7: It went around the world.
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: Sure, take us into that moment.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: Well, look, the Ukraine is a very serious, very tough situation,
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: and this is Biden's war.
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: This is not my war.
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: But I want to see if I can sell of it,
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: because probably close to five thousand young soldiers a week.
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: Of being killed, Russian and Ukrainian.
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: We also spend a tremendous amount of money in Ukraine,
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: and Europe should be spending much more than us than
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: not just spending much less. It's been badly handled by
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: the Biden administration. Has been badly handled all the way around,
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: all the way around that moment. The moment was a
• 15:25
