Trump’s Press Secretary OBLITERATES Ilhan Omar & Democrats For Their Violence-Inciting Rhetoric

Thank You Caroline are any officials here preparing to fight Democratic lawmakers in the streets absolutely not so and thanks for the question some elected Democrats are so steamed about Doge uh congresswoman lonica mcgyver says we are at War ilhan Omar says we might actually see somebody get killed and Chris Van Holland says we have to fight this in the Congress we have to fight this in the streets so what now and may I just point out if you heard that type of violent enticing rhetoric from our side of the aisle from Republican leaders on Capitol

Hill I think there would be a lot more outrage in this room today it's unacceptable the comments that have been made by these Democrat leaders and frankly they don't even know what they're talking about because president Trump was an elected with a mandate from the American people to make this government more efficient he campaigned across this country with Elon Musk vowing that Elon was going to head up the department of government efficiency and the two of them with a great team around them were going to look at the receipts of this federal government and ensure

it's accountable to American taxpayers that's all that is happening here and for Democrat officials to incite violence and encourage Americans to take to the streets is incredibly alarming and they should be held accountable for that rhetoric it sounds like something that they're most concerned about is Doge Engineers with access to treasury systems can you clarify do the Doge Engineers have read only access in these systems so they not allowed to write new code they are not okay no and then one more thing um NBC is reporting that some of the illegal immigrants that we've seen

rounded up uh and arrested are not being deported they're being released with ankle or wrist monitoring devices or they have to check in on the phone so is the administration arresting more people than you have room for I have seen the reports and I I'm glad you brought it up cuz we want to address it there have been a total of 461 legal aliens this is of this morning when I got this information from DHS U that have been released from custody of the more than 8,000 that have been arrested since president Trump was inaugurated

it's less than 6% and there are reasons for their release some of the factors include a lack of um significant likelihood of removal in the foreseeable future lack of detention availability which is something this president in this Administration has been incredibly vocal about we are doing everything we can to deport and detain illegal immigrants but we need congress's help to increase funding for border patrol and for ice to increase detention capability in in our facilities um and then other serious medical conditions have also been the reasons for some of the release of these individuals but

none of them have final deportation orders many of them are probably contesting their immigration status I'd refer you to DHS for more details but I did get that information because I knew it' be a question so thank you sure yes uh the president and you here again today have made clear given the devastation you think Palestinians have no choice but to leave Gaza and go elsewhere but Palestinians say this is their home they don't want to go uh the president last night said he's willing to use the military if necessary is the US prepared to

remove Palestinians from Gaza by force the president is prepared to rebuild Gaza for Palestinians and all people in the region peaceloving people uh who want real Economic Development and opportunity in the region this is a region that has been controlled by Iranian back terrorists Hamas who have brutalized not just Israelis but Palestinians too it is because of Hamas that you see those images on that screen that Gaza has become a demolition site because Hamas launched that brutal attack on Israel on October the 7th and so again I would stress president Trump wants to ensure that

this can be a place where all people can live in peace he is a peacemaker and chief he made that very clear in his first term and as for how that will be accomplished the president and his team are talking with our allies in the region uh to consider next steps but should the American people be prepared to see US military on the ground fighting a ground war against Hamas again the president has not committed to US troops in the region but it is an option I I have said that the president has not committed

to that yet Garrett great to see you here today thank you um on Gaza the president has spent basically his entire public career criticizing foreign entanglements nation building sending American troops to fight abroad particularly in the Middle East this plan seems like it could ultimately involve all of those things can you explain this reversal and how building and owning Gaza squares with America First foreign policy I would reject the premise of your question that this uh forces the United States to be entangled in conflicts abroad the president has not committed to putting boots on the

ground in Gaza he has also said that the United States is not going to pay for the rebuilding of Gaza uh his administration is going to work with our partners in the region uh to reconstruct this region and let me just take a step back here because this is an outof the-box idea that's who president Trump is that's why the American people elected him um and his goal is lasting peace in the Middle East for all people in the region and as I said in my opening remarks we've had the same people pushing the same

solutions to this problem for decades and it's been very made very clear to the president uh that the United States needs to be revolve involved in this rebuilding effort to ensure stability in the region for all people but that does not mean boots on the ground in Gaza it does not mean American taxpayers will be funding this effort it means Donald Trump who is the best dealmaker on the planet is going to strike a deal with our partners in the region because he did not rule out American troops in Gaza last night are you doing

that now I am saying that the president has not committed to that just yet he has not made that commitment and you know that and on the foreign Partners the jordanians the Egyptians the Saudis have already panned this plan what foreign Partners if have expressed any interest in being part of it well the president has said he's been soing this idea for quite some time he's been thinking about this he said in his remarks last night this was not a decision or an announcement that he takes lightly um and the president has already spoken to

uh the president Eli in fact that was his first foreign leader call he's meeting with uh the King of Jordan King Abdullah next week he spoke with the king of Bahrain he spoke with uh the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia and he has made it very clear he's been very vocal that he expects uh our partners in the region particularly Egypt and Jordan to accept Palestinian refugees temporarily so that we can rebuild their home I'd like to show you some images of Gaza that were taken and Fox News aired this I mean that is as

they put it in a a a pypc scene uh in Gaza this is an unhabitable place for human beings do you really think that that families uh can live their dream in a region that looks like this with no running water no electricity and the special Envoy to the President Steve witkoff recently traveled to Gaza as you all know and he came back with images that he showed the president of the dire situation here and the president made this decision with a humanitarian heart for all people in the region Dasha Caroline you said the president

has been working on this idea for a while behind the scenes now is there a written plan based on the president's proposal for Gaza and if so when was it drafted and who had a hand in that the plan was written in in the president's remarks last night as he revealed it to the world and to the American people and his team are continuing to be engaged on this effort I saw the National Security adviser this morning he has a very busy day of calls uh and they will again continue to engage with our partners

that includes Steve witkoff as well Mary of you uh two questions for you on the news of the day so how is today's executive order going to impact the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles for example would a man who thinks that he's a transgender woman be allowed to compete as a female on us soil it's a very good question and the president has actually mentioned this that he does expect the Olympic Committee and the NCAA to no longer allow men to compete in women's sports and I think the president with the signing of his

pen uh starts a very public pressure campaign on these organizations to do the right thing for women and for girls across the country again this is an incredibly popular position there have been many notable female athletes who have the courage to speak out against some very powerful institutions in this country they deserve to have a voice and a say the president is bringing their voice to the highest level at the white house this afternoon and he expects these organizations to comply with this Federal Executive Order that he'll be signing today thank you and one more

on media coverage of this executive order and the topic in general what's the White House's view of framing that calls men transgender females or similar rhetoric coming from organizations like the ACLU and glad well it's been very clear the policy of this Administration is that there are only two Sexes male and female pretty simple Brian Glenn yes um USA ID has gotten a lot of attention the last couple of days with some of these bizarre uh things that we've been uh taxpayers have been funding now it looks like there are a couple media Outlets that

have been dragged into this conversation uh as far as USA ID funding as well does the president have any comment on so upon coming out here to the briefing room I was uh made aware of the funding from usaid to Media Outlets including Politico who I know has a seat in this room um and I can confirm that the more than 8 million taxpayer dollars that have gone to essentially subsidizing subscriptions to Politico on the American taxpayers dime will no longer be happening uh the Doge team is working on cancelling those payments now again this

is a whole of government effort to ensure that we are going line by line when it comes to the federal of government's books and this President and his team are are making decisions across the board on do these receipts serve the interests of the American people is this a good use of the American taxpayers money if it is not that funding will no longer be sent abroad and American taxpayers will see significant savings because of that effort thank you I'd like to give some love to the back row I've heard U that Unfortunately they have

haven't been called on in uh years past So Reagan why don't you go ahead thanks Caroline uh the whca announced that comedian Amber Ruffin who has called the president a toddler with his pants pulled down will be the entertainment for this year's Correspondence Dinner does the White House have a reaction to this choice and will the president be attending the dinner of this year certainly an interesting choice uh I have the president's invitation on my desk I have the invitation for myself on my desk as well haven't talked to the president about it uh when

he makes his decision I will let you all know but definitely an interesting choice of the comedian I'll talk to the boss about it and see what we decide sure go ahead on the executive order set to be signed today um you said that this will be enforced can spell out for schools and the public how exactly the administration PL enforce this even at a local level and on top of that there are human rights groups who say that this could expose kids to discrimination what is your response to that I think kids have already

been exposed to discrimination especially young women and girls who have been forced to shower in locker rooms with biological men who have been forced to compete on playing fields with biological men which is incredibly unfair and unsafe and again an incredibly unpopular policy with the American people as for the actions that this executive order takes I already laid those out at the beginning of the briefing I'm happy to give you a copy of this fact sheet so you can let your audiences across the country know what's your message to schools who don't comply with this

uh they should cuz it's going to be federal law in about an hour and a half so your colleague to your your right to my left carine Taylor with Spectrum news uh you talked a bit about Doge Elon Musk is currently a quote special government employee who also owns companies that have billions of dollars in federal contracts you said earlier this week that he has abided by all applicable federal laws but what steps is the Trump Administration taking to address that conflict of interest the president was already asked and answered this question this week and

he said if Elon Musk comes across a conflict of interest with the contracts and the funding that doge is overseeing um then Elon will excuse himself from those contracts and he has Again abided by all applicable laws in the back left go ahead uh trade adviser Peter Navaro when asked about the external Revenue Service today said quote we're going to collect a lot of tariff revenues and we're going to get tax cuts out of it is it the official position of the White House that tariffs will lower taxes for Americans president has always been clear

that he believes tariffs are tax on foreign and he's committed to cutting taxes for the American people here at home he also believes tariffs are a great Revenue raiser for this country and that's exactly why he has uh committed to the creation of the external Revenue Service which I think is a phenomenal idea
