  Speaker 5: stories we're covering today. First up, it has been one
• 0:29
  Speaker 5: year since the assassination attempt on President Donald Trump and
• 0:32
  Speaker 5: Butler Pennsylvania. The President set down to do an interview
• 0:35
  Speaker 5: on that and many other issues, and oddly enough, he
• 0:38
  Speaker 5: wasn't too worried about the assassination attempt. He's more worried
• 0:42
  Speaker 5: about putting Americans first, and we'll have that for you
• 0:45
  Speaker 5: in just a moment. Also, Democrats got to go to Alcatrez,
• 0:50
  Speaker 5: you know, Alligator Alcatraz, and what do they do? They
• 0:53
  Speaker 5: freaked out and they lied. Tom Homan set the record
• 0:56
  Speaker 5: straight of what actually is happening at Alligator Alcatraz, and
• 0:59
  Speaker 5: we have the details for you. But first I want
• 1:02

• 2:49
  Speaker 4: Story number one.
• 2:50
  Speaker 5: It has been one year since the assassination attempt on
• 2:54
  Speaker 5: Donald Trump. Donald Trump looking back at that year, making
• 2:57
  Speaker 5: it clear that he is doing this job now for
• 3:00
  Speaker 5: the American people, and it's clear that he has a
• 3:03
  Speaker 5: mission to do what he promised, which was to put
• 3:06
  Speaker 5: Americans first. The president was asked about that one year
• 3:09
  Speaker 5: since Butler Pennsylvania in an interview that he did with
• 3:13
  Speaker 5: his daughter in law on Fox News Channel. And I
• 3:16
  Speaker 5: want you to hear what the President had to say
• 3:18
  Speaker 5: looking back over the last year.
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: But they briefed me, and I'm satisfied with it. I'm
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: satisfied with it. They should have had somebody in the building.
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: That was a mistake. They should have had communications with
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: the local police. They weren't tied in, and they should
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: have been tied in. So there were mistakes made and
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: that you know, shouldn't have happened. And that building was
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: a prime building in terms of what they were trying
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: to do. So but I was satisfied in terms of
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: the bigger plot, the larger plot.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: I was satisfied.
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: And you know, I have great confidence in these people.
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: I know the people and they're very talented, very capable.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: That they had a bad day, and I think they'll
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: admit that had a rough day. This is a very
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: dangerous job being president, you know, I say, a race
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: guard driver one percent of one percent, think of that die.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: It's not a lot a bull rider. I think that's
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: pretty dangerous.
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: It's like one tenth of one percent die, and with
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: a president's like five percent.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: Why didn't you tell me this?
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: I could have maybe made a different decision, but I
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: wouldn't have made a different decision because we're doing so well.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: The country's back.
• 4:25
  Speaker 5: The country's back. The President of the United States of
• 4:27
  Speaker 5: America making it clear that he has a mission, a
• 4:30
  Speaker 5: mission statement, and his mission is to protect Americans and
• 4:34
  Speaker 5: put Americans first. He also had this to say about
• 4:38
  Speaker 5: a what he wants for the future of this country.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: A lot of people look at what you've done, though,
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: and they say, had you not had four years in between,
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: maybe all this success would not be possible.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: Do you agree with that? Well, experience is very important
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: in life.
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: I think talent is more important than experience, But if
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: you can have them both somehow, it's a very good thing.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: But experience is very important. I think it also helped.
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: It was very bad for the country, but it also
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: helped to have four years of horror. What went before
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: me was horror, and by comparison, I think anything looks good,
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: and I don't want it to mean what we've done,
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: because we've done a lot of records, but what they've
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: done to our country should never be forgiven. Allowing millions
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: and millions of people to come into our country that
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: shouldn't be here.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: It's such a big aspect of what.
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: We're doing now with the borders, and it could have
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: been so easy. When I gave over the country, the
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: border was great. Now it's better than it was, but
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: it was much worse than it was in twenty sixteen
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: when I took it over.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: That was a border problem also.
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: But I think when people see the horror show that
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: we had for four years, an absolute horror show. They
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: tried to kill it was almost like they tried to
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: kill our country. And the beautiful thing is now we
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: have the hottest country in the world the present.
• 5:57
  Speaker 5: Making it clear, I have a lot to do. I
• 6:00
  Speaker 5: have a legacy. I am working for the American people.
• 6:04
  Speaker 5: I am doing things. For example, the Big Beautiful Bill,
• 6:08
  Speaker 5: which is going to help Americans, and I made it
• 6:11
  Speaker 5: a reality, another part of his commitment to the American people.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: It's unbelievable.
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: It's the most incredible bill, one of the most incredible
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: bills ever passed, and it's the biggest.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: It's the biggest bill.
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: Of its kind ever passed, and we have to talk
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: about it when you think about no tax on tips,
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: no tax on Social Security, no tax on overtime, a
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: big tax cut in addition to that, plus we're saving
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: the tax cut.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: That we made years ago, which is big.
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: It expired in another couple of months that would have expired,
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: they would have had a sixty eight percent tax increase.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: And now they have a tax cut.
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: And you have to explain that to people, because you
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: know the public, they're driving a cab, they're working as
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: a lawyer, accountant, or a teacher, or doing it any
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: one of a million different things.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: They're not into it like we are.
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: You have to explain it, so every chance you get,
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: because what they do is they set a phony.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: You know, they're fake. The Democrats are fake.
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: They're part of the fake news, and the fake news
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: will take it and they'll go with it.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: It's unbelievable.
• 7:12
  Speaker 5: I love this president how quickly he moves on from
• 7:16
  Speaker 5: a question like, hey, year ago, they tried to kill you.
• 7:19
  Speaker 5: He's making jokes. He is making jokes and going back
• 7:24
  Speaker 5: to what he's trying to do put together an incredible
• 7:27
  Speaker 5: administration with an incredible cabinet that is doing incredible things
• 7:31
  Speaker 5: for the American people.
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: We have really good people this time, and they get
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: along with each other, they love each other, they love
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: the country, and it's smoother.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: I think it's smoother.
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: You know, we did a lot of people thought my
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: first term was phenomenal.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: I did. I thought.
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: You know, we got the largest tax cut in history,
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: the biggest tax cut in history, the biggest regulation cuts
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: in history by four times. Nobody even came close. We
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: rebuilt our military. They gave some of it away to Afghanistan,
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: and one of the most embarrassing moments ever. But you know,
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: we we terminated ISIS was one gone and terminated. They
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: started making a little bit of a comeback since Biden
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: got in, as you know, but they were gone, and
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: we'll take care of it. But now we're doing things
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: that maybe are on even a different level.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: It's been especially this last couple of weeks, has been
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: pretty amazing.
• 8:28
  Speaker 5: Protecting Americans, standing up for Americans, protecting us at the border,
• 8:33
  Speaker 5: protecting us with taxes, protecting us from terrorists. That's what
• 8:37
  Speaker 5: the president wants.
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: You to remember about it now. Story number two.
• 8:40
  Speaker 5: President Donald Trump made it very clear when he was
• 8:42
  Speaker 5: running for president, if you vote for him, he's going
• 8:45
  Speaker 5: to secure the southern border and also have the largest
• 8:47
  Speaker 5: deportation this country has ever seen of illegal immigrants. The
• 8:51
  Speaker 5: President holding true to that promise, regardless of how much
• 8:54
  Speaker 5: the media tax him. Which brings us to the big
• 8:57
  Speaker 5: story about Alligator Alcatraz. It is simply the Everglades Detention Center.
• 9:03
  Speaker 5: It's located at the Dad Callier Airport in the Florida Everglades,
• 9:06
  Speaker 5: and the facility has actually been nicknamed Alligator Alcatraz. And
• 9:11
  Speaker 5: that's where the media lost their minds now. It began
• 9:14
  Speaker 5: operations on July third. It's intended to hold up to
• 9:17
  Speaker 5: five thousand immigration to dainees. As of today, lawmakers and
• 9:22
  Speaker 5: the press have visited under tight restrictions. Democrat officials infuriated,
• 9:28
  Speaker 5: describing it as quote vile, horrible, and citing overcrowded cages,
• 9:34
  Speaker 5: lack of sanitation, extreme heat, worm infested food, flooding toilets,
• 9:40
  Speaker 5: and restricted legal access. The reality that's all a lot
• 9:45
  Speaker 5: the Trump administration. Republican officials have defended it, saying it
• 9:50
  Speaker 5: meets standards and it serves a deterrent, and plans exist
• 9:54
  Speaker 5: to replicate this model in other states, doubling down now.
• 9:59
  Speaker 5: It's currently a flashpoint in the immigration debate, praise by
• 10:03
  Speaker 5: many like myself who support the present saying this is
• 10:06
  Speaker 5: effective in condemning illegal immigration, even as Democrats quote unquote
• 10:12
  Speaker 5: call it inhumane. Well, the President of the United States
• 10:15
  Speaker 5: of America making it clear, sending out Tom Holman to
• 10:19
  Speaker 5: do TV to talk about immigration and also Alligator Alcatraz,
• 10:25
  Speaker 5: and he set the record straight with Dana bash On
• 10:27
  Speaker 5: see it in take a listen.
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: I do want to turn to what is going on
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: in Florida, and that is what the administration, what you
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: call Alligator Alcatraz, was visited by Democratic members of Congress yesterday.
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: They were given limited access. And this, of course is
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: a new detention facility set up by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: What these congress people described was sweltering heat, bug and infestations,
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: meager meals. They say, they heard detail needs crying out
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: for help. The wife of one man detained there said
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: he's not been given access to a lawyer. He's been
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: in detention for about two weeks. Is that acceptable to you?
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: And is that what you're saying when you go, I
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: have not been there.
• 11:13
  Speaker 6: Yet, and I doubt a lot of that's factual. I mean,
• 11:16
  Speaker 6: bottom line is, you know from the day one I've
• 11:19
  Speaker 6: been doing this job since nineteen eighty four, detainees complain
• 11:23
  Speaker 6: about the conditions of detention. And I said this many times.
• 11:26
  Speaker 6: You can simply go to ICE dot GUB and look
• 11:30
  Speaker 6: at the detention standards ICE has. They have the highest
• 11:32
  Speaker 6: attention standards in the industry. But these same congressmen that
• 11:35
  Speaker 6: complaining about alligator alcatracts, you didn't see him complaining about
• 11:39
  Speaker 6: under Biden administration people being held in borbitual parking lot
• 11:42
  Speaker 6: surrounded by a fence and the swacter heat. Not a word.
• 11:46
  Speaker 6: You didn't hear a word about half a million children
• 11:48
  Speaker 6: being trafficked in the country and them not being able
• 11:50
  Speaker 6: to locate three hundred thousand. President Trump, this administration is
• 11:53
  Speaker 6: finding thousands of those children. So you know, they have
• 11:57
  Speaker 6: a lot of anger under President Trump and how we're
• 11:59
  Speaker 6: doing business. And they ignored four years of open borders,
• 12:02
  Speaker 6: historic migrant death, historic Americans dying from fatanhl, historic numbers
• 12:06
  Speaker 6: and women chilling me a sex traffic, historic number of
• 12:10
  Speaker 6: people on Jervis's coming across the border. Silence, silence because
• 12:14
  Speaker 6: they're complicit. But they didn't take the administration on and
• 12:17
  Speaker 6: ask them security border. You can't have strong national security
• 12:21
  Speaker 6: in this country if we don't have border security. We
• 12:24
  Speaker 6: got to know who's coming and what's coming to where's coming. Well,
• 12:26
  Speaker 6: instead they kept silent, and they kept feeding the American people.
• 12:30
  Speaker 6: We have a secure border, and we did.
• 12:31
  Speaker 5: Not tom home and make it clear that Trump officials
• 12:35
  Speaker 5: have given him a job. And reportedly they arrested thirty
• 12:38
  Speaker 5: thousand undocumented migrants in June, the Trump administration putting out
• 12:43
  Speaker 5: the new numbers, saying that this was a significant escalation
• 12:47
  Speaker 5: in immigration enforcement. According to ICE data, now, the surge
• 12:52
  Speaker 5: reflects a focus on detaining individuals, with over fourteen thousand
• 12:58
  Speaker 5: convicted criminals nine eight hundred facing pending charges. Among those
• 13:03
  Speaker 5: apprehended since January, only about eighteen thousands so far have
• 13:08
  Speaker 5: actually been deported, highlighting a gap due to overcrowded attention
• 13:12
  Speaker 5: facilities and pending asylum cases, yet again proving the point
• 13:16
  Speaker 5: of just how many illegal immigrants were allowed into the country. Now,
• 13:20
  Speaker 5: you may ask, what is the reason behind Alcatraz? Right,
• 13:24
  Speaker 5: this alligator Alcatraz is the media keeps freaking out over.
• 13:29
  Speaker 5: It's obviously meant to be a deterrent. Do not break
• 13:33
  Speaker 5: in to the United States of America. If you do,
• 13:37
  Speaker 5: we will come after you. Dana Bash also asking Homan
• 13:42
  Speaker 5: about this and listen to his response.
• 13:44
  Speaker 6: In communities and sanctuary cities.
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: Well, you just said that there are called collateral arrests
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: and that is sparking fear in communities where people are
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: again scared to go out. Well, I guess my question
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: is do you have compassion for those people who are
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: seeing what's going on hearing you speak, seeing what's happening
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: in their neighborhoods, shouldn't have any concern, but do just
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: because of.
• 14:14
  Speaker 6: The reality data. The bottom line is if you want
• 14:20
  Speaker 6: less collabor arrest and let us in the jail, I
• 14:22
  Speaker 6: mean we want to arrest a bad guy in the
• 14:24
  Speaker 6: safety and security of the accounty jail, with sanctuary cities
• 14:26
  Speaker 6: or releasing in the community, which means we've got to
• 14:28
  Speaker 6: go to the community and find him. And when we
• 14:30
  Speaker 6: find that bad person, many many times, whether it's at
• 14:33
  Speaker 6: the work site or in the community, they're with other people.
• 14:35
  Speaker 6: Other people in the United States illegally and We're going
• 14:38
  Speaker 6: to let ICE enforce law, uphold the ohth they took.
• 14:41
  Speaker 6: We're not going to be like the last administration who
• 14:43
  Speaker 6: told Ice instructed Ice you can't arrest somebody for simply
• 14:47
  Speaker 6: being here illegally. They got to be convicted of a
• 14:49
  Speaker 6: serious offense. That's not the law, says we're enforcing the law.
• 14:53
  Speaker 6: But look, immigration enforcement, I'm going to be clear. Immigration
• 14:55
  Speaker 6: force has always been emotional. It's always been controversial. I've
• 14:58
  Speaker 6: been doing this since nineteen eighty four. I get it,
• 15:01
  Speaker 6: and I understand why people want to come to the
• 15:04
  Speaker 6: greatest nation on Earth. I get it. Well, we can
• 15:07
  Speaker 6: send the message to the whole world it's okay to
• 15:10
  Speaker 6: enter this countryly. You don't worry about it. Emails of
• 15:12
  Speaker 6: crime coming enter I legally, and when you get order
• 15:15
  Speaker 6: removal from a judge, you don't have to leave. You
• 15:17
  Speaker 6: can become effusitive and we'll never look for it. We
• 15:20
  Speaker 6: got to send a message the whole world. There are
• 15:22
  Speaker 6: consequences of breaking laws, and I think that's why one
• 15:25
