further demonstrated that the Trump effect is real over the weekend Americans celebrated the return of American Israeli citizen Keith seagull and two Israelis who were held captive by Hamas terrorists since October 7th 2023 president Trump and his administration worked diligently to secure their release and are committed to freeing all remaining hostages yesterday as you all know president Trump held his first foreign (00:40) meeting at the White House with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and as the president said the bonds of friendship and affection between the American and Israeli people have endured for Generations in our absolutely unbreakable the president is committed to eliminating Hamas in securing a lasting peace for the entire region the historic proposal for the United States to take over Gaza announced by President Trump last night underscores this comm itment insanity is doing the same thing over and over again in expecting (01:18) different results president Trump is an outsideof the- boox thinker and a Visionary leader who solves problems that many others especially in this city claim are unsolvable we've already seen the results from president Trump's bold peace through strength diplomacy on the world stage in response to president Trump's tariffs this week both Mexico and Canada took immediate steps to alleviate the illegal alien migration and flow of deadly drugs particularly fentanyl into our country Mexico's president Claudia Shin bomb (01:52) agreed to permanently Supply 10,000 Mexican soldiers on the US border who will be specifically designated to stopping Fentanyl criminal aliens from pouring into our country and Canada's prime minister Justin Trudeau agreed to appoint a fentanyl Zar list cartels as terrorists and increased resources to assist the 10,000 Frontline Personnel at our northern border with Canada in recognition of these steps president Trump paused the implementation of tariffs for one month while negotiations continue and final deals can be (02:25) structured throughout the transition and during his inaugural address president made it known that the United States cannot and will not allow the Chinese Communist party to continue with its effective and growing control over the Panama Canal following secretary Rubio's successful first trip and visit there over the weekend Panama's president said he will allow its participation in the Chinese Communist party's uh it will no longer allow the participation in the Bel Road initiative that participation will expire this is significant because (03:00) Panama was the first Latin American Nation to join belon Road and now becomes the first to back away from it because of President Trump and to assist with the ongoing Mass deportation effort El Salvador's president has agreed to the most unprecedented migratory agreement anywhere in the world because p resident Trump is back in charge El Salvador has offered for illegal aliens of any nationality facing deportation in the US to be booked in his country's prison system and finally president Trump's Envoy for special missions Rick (03:32) grenell traveled to Venezuela and not only secured the release of six American hostages but Venezuela also agreed to accept the return of illegal alien Trend araga gang members all of these incredible victories prove how well president Trump's peace through stre passengers aboard you may ask there were 10 members of the transnational gang Tren de aragua on this flight and overall our heroic ice agents continue to prioritize the removal of violent criminal illegal aliens in communities across the country on February 3rd ice Dallas arrested a citizen of Nicaragua who has been convicted of sexual assault (04:43) Strongarm in lewed acts with a minor and sentenced to 15 years in prison ice Los Angeles arrested a Mexican citizen who has been convicted of LW a oing topic the Senate is working fast to confirm president Trump's exceptional cabinet nominees in the face of Relentless media smear campaigns as of right now 12 members of the president's cabinet have been confirmed most recently Pam Bondi who as you all know I was just in the Oval Office for that swearing in ceremony surrounded by Pam's lovely family and we look forward to watching her serve as the Attorney General of the United (05:47) States according to CNN president Trump is getting more country and he is continuing to deliver on that with an executive order that he will sign later today the president will be signing an executive order keeping men out of women's sports to defend the safety of athletes protect competitive integrity and uphold the promise of Title Nine this Common Sense action from president Trump ends the disgusting betrayal of women and girls by the previous administration who for years catered to radical activists who wanted biological males to be treated as wo er I'm sure many of you recognized her when she came in Sage Steel who is now the host of an incredibly successful podcast The Sage Steel show on YouTube and all podcast platforms and previously Sage was a fixure at ESPN from 2007 to 2023 primarily hosting Sports Center which we all know well before leaving the company to exercise Her First Amendment rights more freely we are honored to welcome her to the briefing room today she will be joining the president at the big EO signing later (07:54) t r the Senate as we know has not (08:19) brought it up to vote we all know executive orders can be overturned so I'm wondering how important it is to the president to get Congress to to bring this to pass legislation so there are no instances like the past administration that that really tried to destroy Title 9 it's incredibly important that Congress uh immediately acts on this priority I think the president is really setting the tone making this a very immediate priority for this Administration t would have dissolved Single Sex spaces and opportunities it also requires immediate action including (09:19) enforcement actions against schools and athletic associations comprised of schools that deny women single sex Sports in Single Sex locker rooms um the executive order also calls for the convening of private sporting bodies in the white house we want them to come to this campus so the president can hear in person the stories of female athletes who have suffered lifelong indust injuries w orts and so I know the president is very excited about the bill signing that will take place at 3:00 this afternoon you will hear from him more on that later and we look forward (10:17) to seeing you their stage so thank you very very much 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 i region uh to reconstruct this region and let me just take a step back here because this is an out-of-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 (11:21) 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 you know that and on the foreign Partners the jordanians the Egyptians the Saudis have already panned this plan what foreign Partners if any 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 (12:15) 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 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 (13:19) humanitarian heart for all people in the region Thank You Caroline are any of from Republican leaders on Capitol Hill I think there would be a lot more outraged 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 t rs have readon access in these systems so they are not allowed to write (14:53) new code they are not okay 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 because we want to a n 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 (15:55) border patrol and for ice to increase detention capability in in our fa 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 m aza 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 (16:52) brutalized not just israelies 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 wa hat the president has not committed to that yet sure I could just follow up on that though why not rule out the idea of committing US troops this has been a longstanding um argument that the president uh has made really over the last decade or so talking about endless Wars and not something the US wants why (17:50) not rule out TR because I think the president is very good when he's making deals and negotiating not to rule out anything because uh he wants to preserve that lever in negotiations a text on the conversations he will have directly with the president of the United States after that meeting and I would just point out that there's been a lot of leaders and officials all around the world who have doubted I suppose the dealmaking ability of of President Trump uh you said you heard the Panama uh leader saying that U he would not agree to some of the concessions that he has now made because (18:47) of secretary Rubio's visit you had the Colombian president saying he wouldn't accept and his team are continuing to be engaged on this effort I saw the National Security adviser this morning he is a very busy day of calls uh and they will again continue to engage with our partners that includes Steve witkoff as well Mary 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 (19:43) as a female on us soil it's ery powerful (20:15) 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 pon coming out here to the briefing room I was uh made aware of the funding from usaid to Media (21:21) 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 and the American taxpayers dime will no longer be happening uh the Doge team is working on canceling those payments now again this is a whole of government effort to ensure that we are going line by 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 (22:24) 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 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 t y 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 (23:19) 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 ollars 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 (24:13) 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 bac razor 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 we're just go down the whole row go ahead Tom B with the BBC can you confirm that under the president's plans for Gaza any and all Palestinians who want to stay in Gaza on their land will be allowed to do so I can confirm that the president is (25:11) committed to rebuilding Gaza and to temporarily relocating those who are there because as I've show prices at the store and at the grocery pump across the board sure well the president is doing everything he can obviously to reduce the cost of living crisis in this country as quickly as possible that that's why he signed a l of executive orders across the board uh in the first couple of weeks here he declared a national Energy emergency uh he committed to cutting 10 regulations for every new one on the book as you know working for a fox business related (26:11) Outlet um deregulation and ener US Marine (26:40) to turn the Gaza Strip into the Riviera of the Middle East Bill I'm not sure why you're asking me that question because I've already said the president has not committed to sending Marines or any boots on the ground in Gaza we'll bring it to the front row possibility good to see you again here in the front row Caroline uh two things um on uh uh today's announcement Title 9 if he scales back the education department or moves to shut it down entirely What entity will enforce titl lked about it yesterday in the Oval Office and he has good reason to talk about it I mean look (27:37) uh our education system is failing students in this country the nation's report card I brought it up in my remarks last week um it it shows that fourth graders are not reading at the level they should I believe it was 40% of them are proficient in Reading um as the mother of a child I want an education system that um helps my child read and write teaches him math um nothing else in the classroo won't get ahead of the president's discussions or negotiations on your first question about what would be offered I think the president's made it clear that he expects these nations (28:40) in the region to step up and to accept a Palestinian refugees who will be temporarily relocated for the rebuilding of Gaza as for whether prime minister Netanyahu was aware before the president's remarks he was indeed I wasn't present for that reaction um but again this is something the president has been so cruitment level for all branches of our military are at crisis levels and it serves as a national security risk uh that our military branches are not fully staffed to where they need to be and I do believe it's a culture problem within these (29:43) institutions that the president is very much committed to fixing as um emphasized by the executive orders he has signed to root Dei out of the military and I think when young men and women who are honorably signing up to serve in our nation's militar ver the next four years and I know Pete Heth is committed to increasing recruitment at all branches of the military i' defer you to the Department of Defense on exactly what he plans to implement Jeff thanks very much um two questions one the President yesterday used the word permanent for permanently resettled (30:39) Palestinians I hear you saying temporarily today is that a shift or a specific change that you want to highlight and and my second question is um yesterday he spoke about the US o e and thrive in harmony as he said last night his words not mine permanent versus tempor resettle can you the president has made it clear that they need to be temporarily relocated out of Gaza for the rebuilding of this effort uh again it's a demolition site right now it's not a livable place for any human being and I think it's actually quite evil to suggest that people should live in such (31:44) dire conditions Daniel Caroline thank you so much the daily guidance says that the president will as we always do we try to be very transparent about what the president is doing in the Oval Office uh perhaps he'll even call you in to join him we never know around here as you all know um but Governor Abbott is obviously a great friend and an ally to the president he has been on the front lines of the Border crisis in this country um and as for governor gavan Nome well the president is willing to work with anybody from Blue States or red states to do its best for the American people (32:38) a ss their property he believes that's (33:08) their right to do so and they should be able to do it and one more thing before I wrap up because I do want to get to these meetings and I we'll see you all at the EO signing later this afternoon I would just say that you brought to mind California in nor North Carolina who continue to be on our hearts and the president in this Administration are committed to ensuring that these individuals get the funding they need and I would just say a strong messa taxpayers going to good uses not stuff like this but then they're very quiet about the fact that there are still (34:08) North Carolinians and people in California who have lost everything and in the last four years this federal government did nothing to help them this President will continue to put Americans first and I think the successes of this week so far speak to that and it's only Wednesday so I'll see you guys later this week and we'll see you this afternoon thank "
