🚨 White House Press Briefing LIVE Right Now with Karoline Leavitt After Charlotte Murder BOMBSHELL
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Misusing 911.
The last time a judge released him the very same day.
And then this past July, that judge requested a mental capacity evaluation to proceed with charges from January.
Then you have this heinous murder on a local train which was caught on tape that Charlotte's mayor implored the media not to share, citing respect for the victim's family.
She was blasted for that, including by transportation secretary Sean Duffy.
I can't pull money today from their transit system.
I actually have to do an investigation.
That's what the law requires.
We start that investigation tomorrow, and I guarantee all your viewers that if I find what I think I'm going to find, uh they are not going to have your federal tax dollars going to their public transportation system.
Zero non nada.
The victim, Irina Zarutska, was killed three years after fleeing Ukraine the Ukraine war as a refugee.
Despite her killing not getting picked up in the mainstream media for over a month, FBI Director Kashmitel says the FBI has been investigating the Charlotte train murder from day one.
President Trump zeroing in on cashless bail policies now.
He posted what the hell was he doing riding the train and walking the streets?
Criminals like this need to be locked up.
The blood of this innocent woman can literally be seen dripping from the killer's knife, and now her blood is on the hands of Democrats who refuse to put bad people in jail, including former disgraced governor and wannabe Senator Roy Cooper.
That message continues on.
He goes on to implore people to vote instead for uh Michael Watley.
We are awaiting any more details from uh local officials there with news about this case and where it's headed.
Not a yes, sir, not a follower.
Fit the box with the mole have a seat.
Number I was lighting before the thunder.
Lightning and the thunder.
Ladies and gentlemen, we will have Caroline Levitt live on the program here in just moments.
This is what the White House press dais looks like.
The entire suite of reporters in the front of the row have been sat.
ALX, let me know if we have the Jackie Heinrich report that she just did live there to preview the press conference.
However, there was a preview that was just sent out by the White House.
This is critically important.
President Trump has just stopped the world turning, frankly, sat at his desk and held up images, iconography of the white refugee Arena Sestruca getting slaughtered in cold blood in a racialized hate crime, public execution.
That happened in a Charlotte train.
And Donald Trump has delivered, ladies and gentlemen.
President Trump released this video seconds ago, and is the most powerful statement yet on this.
We expect to hear much from Caroline Levitt.
I'm going to play you the president's commentary on this in full, along with the resolve of the American people to ensure that this never happens to another one of our daughters or sons ever again.
These monsters must be stopped.
president of the united states here we go for far too long americans have been forced to put up with democrat-run cities that set loose savage bloodthirsty criminals to prey on innocent people Really very, very innocent people.
In every place they control radical left judges, politicians, and activists, and they've adopted a policy of catch and release for thugs and killers.
In Charlotte, North Carolina, we saw the results of these policies when a 23-year-old woman who came here from Ukraine met her bloody end on a public train.
And here's a picture of it.
This is the picture of it.
And this is a picture of the woman.
A beautiful young girl that never had problems in life with a magnificent future in this country.
And now she's dead.
She was slaughtered by a deranged monster who was roaming free after 14 prior arrests.
We cannot allow a depraved criminal element of violent repeat offenders to continue spreading destruction and death throughout our country.
We have to respond with force and strength.
We have to be vicious just like they are.
It's the only thing they understand.
Twenty-four of the top 25 most dangerous cities in America run by Democrat mayors.
50 people were murdered in Chicago in recent weeks with hundreds being shot.
And it's time to stop this madness.
The people of our country need to insist on protection, safety, law, and order.
We have proven that it can be done because we did it right here in DC in District of Columbia, the capital of America, was a bloodthirsty, horrible, dangerous place, one of the worst.
And now it's a crime-free city, and we're going to keep it that way.
It can be done, it can happen fast.
All we want is, please, Mr. President, we need help.
Chicago needs help.
Other cities needs help.
We'll do what has to be done because we're going to make America safe again.
And that includes our big cities.
We're going to make those cities safe.
Thank you.
That's my president, ladies and gentlemen.
This is my president right here, holding up the photos of the senseless slaughter that is completely and totally indefensible.
The career criminal monster who was released entirely by woke judicial policies and Democrat restorative justice.
Well, even had his own mother saying he didn't deserve to be walking the streets.
His own public defender begged the judges to not let him walk the streets.
And now we have even further video of this senseless, an evil, despicable act.
We have the video that I've been calling for on this program.
I want you to burn this image into your brain right here.
We're going to you can you can see the video for yourself if you wish on social media.
I want you to burn this into your brain, these images of Arena Zastruka, terrified, looking up in abject horror at the demon above her, released onto the streets to terrise her and slaughter, maim, and kill, which is something that he had promised to do after his first 14 arrests.
Burn this image into your brain.
What happened in Charlotte was a public execution, a premeditated hate crime by a black homicidal criminal man against a defenseless terrified white woman refugee, all brought to you by woke DEI judicial activism and Democrat restorative justice policies in a different era.
This monster would have never been free to prey on the defenseless.
He would be behind bars, living out a Shawshank redemption life.
Never to see or breathe free air again, which is what that what he chose.
Look, get angry, look at her face.
I won't post the video because I don't want you to see it again.
This is what America has become.
No more pandering.
You have to burn these images in your brain because you need the resolve to fix this.
What is happening here?
You do not want your daughters to end up like this.
You do not want your sons to end up like this.
Nobody wants anyone in their family or their loved ones to end up in this hellscape that has been created by what?
Judicial activism.
As we have shown you here in this wild report from the Washington Examiner, the judge who released the Charlotte Lightrail Killer has a history of addiction activism.
She, of course, shouldn't be in any position to release somebody into addiction recovery, given the fact that she has deep personal connections to the addiction recovery grift ecosystem.
Did Teresa A. Stokes, somebody who, based on records, has multiple bankruptcies and tax liens against her.
based on these records, director of second chance services, magistrate judge without a JD or a law degree, who can somehow rule over all of us and terrorize us.
Is there culpability here?
We need an investigation, and we need an investigation immediately, ladies and gentlemen.
There is outrage over what is happening.
We started with Jim Jordan and James Comer today on the live stream earlier.
I want to jump over to Mike Johnson, who just had a press conference about this.
Thankfully, we are having and seeing true action, hopefully, from our Republican representatives here is Mike Johnson, ladies and gentlemen, in his commentary just moments ago.
-Bemmer specifically was talking about this just unspeakable tragedy.
This 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee was brutally murdered in cold blood on a train in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Her name is uh Irina Zarutska.
And she was on the way home from her job at a pizzeria where she worked.
She was stabbed repeatedly by a career criminal with a rap sheet a mile long.
It's infuriating, it's heartbreaking, it makes us it gives you a feeling in the in the pit of your stomach.
Uh this young lady, Irina, survived Ukraine.
She she fled amid the deadliest land war in Europe since World War II.
She fled to the safety or so she thought of the United States, just to have her life sinlessly senselessly ended by someone who should have never been allowed to walk freely.
This individual, DeCarlos Brown is his name, was arrested and released 14 times.
Yeah, more than a dozen.
14 times.
We don't have to live like this.
President Trump is proving that every single day in our nation's capital.
Ladies and gentlemen, Marjorie Taylor Green here saying nobody helped her.
You can see in the video.
No one even assisted when she was stabbed in the throat.
Everybody is too scared.
In the wake of George Floyd and Daniel Penny, everyone is too worried to assist their fellow countrymen.
What hell have we created in this nation?
Where have all the men gone?
This poor woman was attacked, and not a single person did anything to help her.
The murder of Arania Zestruka shows that the courts failed and allowed this monster out of jail, but also love has grown cold.
What has happened to America?
She didn't die quickly.
She was fully aware, desperate and terrified.
It is a grotesque indictment of the hellscape and that has been created in this nation.
Charlotte Girl, who was alone, left alone to die while everyone else got out of there.
She's in fear right until the very end.
Why is this happening as her life fades?
This is devastatingly horrible.
We now have the footage.
Burn this into your mind.
Burn this, ladies and gentlemen, image.
Judges releasing criminals who go on to commit murder is a long-standing pattern in every single state in the U.S. Until the judges are held accountable.
Nothing will change.
We need judicial reform that holds judges accountable.
Hammurabi's code has something, it has a line in it like that.
Where if a judge allows a criminal free and that criminal commits a crime, then the judge shares in the sentencing of the criminal.
A group of people frozen in fear because of one criminal.
This entire scene feels dystopian.
Americans do not need to live like this.
Say it again.
Americans do not need to live like this.
Pure evil looks like.
White supremacy is a problem in America, CNN.
MSNBC, racism is eye-popping.
Axios.
It's surveillance cameras.
That's the problem.
Times, right wing influencers complain.
What about her?
Does anybody care?
Amazing.
You found the one Ukrainian refugee that you don't care about.
Get angry.
We effed up.
They want you dead.
Horrific.
She didn't even know that she was stabbed.
They allow them to do this to your children, and you think that you live in a free country.
Nobody even helped her.
Totally and completely haunting.
Ladies and gentlemen, uh we have news that uh Michael Shellenberger is in the White House press briefing room.
See, this is great.
He's an excellent reporter.
Well done.
Weak men's do in fact create hard times.
From the press briefing room, uh, Carolyn Levitt, imminent here is the stand-up from Fox News previewing what we will see.
White House preview, uh, by the way, has just gone live, meaning uh again, Caroline Levitt in just moments.
Uh, here is the White House, here is the uh preview of what Fox News' White House reporter says will be happening next.
So what do you expect from this briefing today?
Well, Sandra, the murder of that Ukrainian refugee has spurred at least two federal investigations, one by transportation secretary Sean Duffy, uh, who indicated that future federal funding could be at risk, which leads one to question whether this could be a tool that uh the administration might use to force other uh Democrat-led cities and states to get tougher on public safety if tax dollars are at risk.
He also had the FBI director Cash Patel say that his agency had been probing this since day one, uh, meaning we may see federal charges come down.
Uh the attention from the administration coming despite resistance for some time from uh local officials, Charlotte's mayor had thanked the media for not sharing the video of that heinous killing, uh citing the need to respect the victim's family.
But if you look at the rap sheet this individual had, it spans more than a decade, uh, multiple instances of failures by the courts and magistrates uh for putting this person back on the streets, uh, even at the uh against the urging of his own mother, who said that he should not be out in public uh telling a local station there in Charlotte that he had uh schizophrenia and was a public safety risk.
Um the president's now taking aim also at cashless bail policies as he tries to direct some of the criticism toward the Democrat officials in that state and the soft on crime policies uh that they had, he says.
We also have this story emerging in the Middle East.
You had Israel's uh strikes on Hamas targets in Qatar, uh really rippling the region could have trickle-down effects on the Abraham Accords, and also poses big questions about what this means for the the war in Gaza and whether it's possible to see it end through any kind of a diplomatic resolution.
Uh we've seen reports that some of the the targets in that attack were the top negotiators that Steve Witkoff had been meeting with and may have survived.
So a lot of questions yet to come about uh what this means for that war, what the president knew.
You had Israeli media reporting that not only did the U.S. know, but they greenlighted it, of course.
Uh, we need to hear from the White House their take on things, but a lot of big news in this briefing ahead, Sandra.
You bet.
That's why we will be watching for that to begin shortly.
Jackie, thank you.
Thanks.
Ladies and gentlemen, again, they have seated the new media seat, and we expect now the shot is on the door, so we expect Caroline Levitt at any moment that video from President Trump setting the table here is incredible.
President Trump holding up the photo of Irina Zestruka and her killer.
Saying this should have never happened.
The guts to come out and do this.
Just off the top just allow me a moment here to say elections matter.
Could you imagine if Kamala Harris was sitting in that chair right now?
Or God help us, Joe Biden.
Who would be worse?
What would be worse?
If Kamala Harris were in this chair right now, we wouldn't even know about this.
They'd be probably imprisoning, they'd be probably rounding up and imprisoning J Sixers, still.
That's what they'd be doing.
DC would be completely and totally overrun by the criminal element.
This kind of thing would be happening on a it's it's happening on a near-daily basis anyway.
It'd be happening on a multi-daily basis.
No American would really be safe to walk the streets at all.
Kamala Harris would most likely be pushing her DOJ, run by AOC, no doubt, Attorney General AOC, to see if there's any way that they could charge Irina Zastruka post-mortem for some type of hate crime.
She's looked at them wrong or just existing is a hate crime to these people.
Could you imagine an alternative timeline?
Just like please please burn it into your brain that elections matter, elections matter, elections matter.
What would Kamel Harris be saying right now?
Kamala Harris would be sitting in the White House instead of saying what President Trump says here, that this monster needs to be met with with vicious pain from our judicial system and from our system of justice, and that we must never allow this to happen again.
Kamala Harris would be sitting here talking, most likely eulogizing Brown.
She'd most likely be sitting here saying how he's been failed by the system, and this is really a question about mental health.
Even though he says, I got the white girl, I got the white girl, I got the white girl afterwards.
This was an on-camera execution, racial hate crime.
Premeditated.
And Kamala Harris, you know it.
You know it in your heart of hearts.
She would be sitting here talking about how the system failed the murderer and how he's actually the victim in all of this.
Kamala Harris would most likely be holding up the same photos, asking Arena Zestruka and her family what they could have done more than demanding a trillion dollars for rehabilitation centers.
Because we haven't thrown and blown enough money directly into the furnace for rehabilitation of demons, animals, and monsters who simply deserve to be behind bars.
That's the way that our ancestors did it.
That's the only way that actually works.
As we have said on this program, one percent of the population, actually less, fractions of a percent of the population commit 90% of the crime, and society must have the willpower to put them in prison.
That's it.
That's how you fix it.
We have a two-minute warning on Caroline Levitt.
Uh, so we will uh we will await that and not throw uh to another clip.
It is horrific, however.
This is what they want.
They want you to live inside of a zero trust society.
The new video details how there was no help for Arena Zestruka.
There was no assistance for her.
Nobody stepped into help.
Everyone just got away and washed out for themselves.
Here we go, ladies and gentlemen.
Good afternoon, everybody.
Caroline Levin.
We'll begin with a scheduling update today.
President Trump will commemorate the 24th anniversary of 9-11 on Thursday with a visit to the Pentagon Memorial in the morning, followed by an appearance at the New York Yankees game at Yankee Stadium and the Bronx on Thursday evening.
Next week, as you all know, the president and the first lady will depart for their historic state visit to the United Kingdom on Tuesday, and they return to Washington on Thursday.
Today I would like to address the tragedy that has not received nearly enough media attention.
The brutal murder of Irina Zarutska.
Here are the facts that many outlets have shamefully and intentionally failed to report until President Trump drew attention to it.
On August 22nd, Arena Zarutka was stabbed to death on the rail system in Charlotte, North Carolina, by a savage career criminal.
This is a public transportation system that many in the area use every single day to go to school and work.
Irina was on the train that night traveling home from her job at a pizzeria, still in uniform from her shift.
This beautiful, innocent 23-year-old young woman was a Ukrainian refugee who had recently fled her country for a chance at a safer life and a promising new beginning here in the United States of America.
But tragically, a public transportation system in a major American city was more dangerous than the active war zone that she left.
The president and the entire White House are praying for her family and friends during this unimaginably difficult time.
But while we extend our thoughts and prayers, we must also seek justice for this crime and call attention to this heinous incident.
Surveillance video of the killing was finally released to the public this past Friday.
It shows the alleged killer, De Carlos Brown Jr.
Pull out a knife, get up from his seat behind Arena, and prepare to thrust a blade into her neck before the released footage gets cut.
This is pure evil on full display.
The most enraging and unacceptable part of this story is that her death was entirely preventable.
De Carlos Brown never should have been on that train that night.
In fact, he should have been behind bars.
De Carlos Brown has been charged with crimes no fewer than 14 times, dating back to 2011, including for armed robbery, felony larceny, breaking and entering in shoplifting.
Brown had previous previously served five years in prison for a robbery with a deadly weapon charge.
And he had also forfeited bonds three different times, twice in 2014 and once in 2023.
Despite all of this past documented criminal history, when Brown was arrested yet again in January of this past year, a Democrat judge, who will, I will add, was a supporter, a strong supporter of former vice president Kamala Harris, released this insane criminal once again without requiring him to pay any bail.
He simply had to sign a written promise to return for his court hearing.
Think about how crazy it is to ask a career criminal, someone who by definition repeatedly breaks the law to just sign a written promise and come back again another day.
This is madness.
This monster should have been locked up, and Arena should still be alive.
But Democrat politicians, liberal judges, and weak prosecutors would rather virtue signal than lock up criminals and protect their communities.
And perhaps most shamefully of all, the majority of the media, many outlets in this room decided that her murder was not worth reporting on originally because it does not fit a preferred narrative.
Many of the journalists in this room spilled plenty of ink trying to smear Daniel Penny for defending a subway car from a deranged lunatic in New York City, but none of those same reporters lift a finger to write stories about an actual murderer.
Here is the truth that every American must know.
Too many innocent people across the country continue to pay the price of the failed experiment known as cashless bail that has been championed by the Democrat Party for years.
All the way back in 2020, North Carolina's then Democrat governor Roy Cooper established a so-called task force for racial equity and criminal justice.
Sounds nice, but it's not.
That task force was co-authored by then Attorney General and current Democrat governor Josh Stein.
It recommended, quote, reimagining public safety to quote, promote diversion and other alternatives to arrest.
It also advised to de-emphasize some felony crimes, prioritize, quote, restorative justice, and eliminate cash bail.
Democrats in North Carolina and nationwide are consumed with pushing a woke, soft-on-crime agenda, no matter how many innocent Americans suffer as a result.
Instead of aggressively prosecuting and locking up violent criminals, the Democrat-backed cashless bail approach lets these criminals roam free in our country to offend again and again.
These reckless policies have turned too many, many of American cities into hunting grounds for career criminals who mock our justice system, drain law enforcement resources, and wreak havoc on law-abiding citizens.
Enough is enough, and that is why President Trump is doing everything in his power by taking action to undo these absurd policies.
The president recently signed a powerful executive order directing the AG to submit a list of states in local jurisdictions with cashless bail policies, so that the Trump administration may identify federal funds that can are being provided to these states and can potentially be suspended or terminated.
President Trump firmly believes that to maintain order in public safety, we must incarcerate individuals whose pending criminal charges or criminal history demonstrate a clear ongoing risk to civil society.
This is a common sense and sensible approach that the vast majority of Americans agree with.
And it's time for the Democrat Party to get on board with what is right.
When these criminals are caught, they must be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law and be sent to prison where they can no longer terrorize our streets.
This is the mandate the American people delivered to President Trump, and it's a mandate he intends to fulfill.
Staying on the topic of public safety, new preliminary data released today by Customs and Border Protection in August shows that President Trump has delivered the most secure border in American history.
For the fourth straight month, zero illegal aliens were released into the United States by CBP.
Nationwide encounters are down 93% below the peak of the Biden administration.
Border patrol apprehensions on the Southwest border in the entire month of August were less than what was apprehended in four days in August 2024 under the Biden administration.
President Trump has ended disastrous Biden illegal alien invasion.
He sealed our border in record time, keeping this central promise he made to the American public.
With that, I will take your questions.
Here in our new media seat today, we have Michael Schellenberger, who is the founder of public news with nearly two million readers and subscribers.
Michael, thank you for being here today.
Thank you.
And why don't you kick us off?
Sure.
Thank you for making space for news new media.
Maximate all of you.
Great to be here.
I want to see if you can give some whether the president is considering additional measures against Europe and Brazil, not just for censorship, but also for preventing political candidates from actually competing in elections.
We've now seen uh in Romania, France, and now Germany with Joachim Paul efforts to basically just prevent candidates from being able to compete in elections.
The president has shown some concern around President Bolsonaro, who's being prevented from running.
Um, all of this is coming in the context of increased censorship of online platforms, of American platforms and efforts to censor Americans.
I'm personally being uh investigated or criminal investigation with my Brazilian colleagues for publishing the Twitter files of Brazil.
We're very grateful that the president has imposed Magnitsky sanctions on the judge.
Is the president considering additional actions given that it appears that they're going to end up with a conviction against President Bolsonaro preventing him from running?
Is he considering doing anything about this crackdown in Europe?
I mean, it's shocking to see Joachim Paul, this mayoral candidate in Germany, the criminal indictment against him, cites him quote, saying that he loves the Lord of the Rings as reason why he's an extremist and shouldn't be able to run.
So I just wonder if you could speak to that.
And again, I'm grateful to be here.
Nice to meet you all.
And I'm grateful for what the Trump administration has done to push for free speech abroad.
Well, thanks for being here, Michael.
We appreciate it.
Freedom of speech is arguably the most important issue of our time.
It is enshrined in our constitution and the president believes in it strongly.
He himself faces censorship in his road back to this beautiful oval office here in Washington, D.C. So he takes this very seriously, as does I know the vice president of the United States and the entire Trump administration, which is why we have taken significant action with regards to Brazil in the form of both sanctions and also leveraging the use of tariffs to ensure that countries around the world are not punishing their citizens in this way.
And at the same time, the president is uh, while he's leveraging the United States to safeguard our interests abroad, he's also making sure that freedom of speech remains here in the United States of America.
So I don't have any additional actions to preview for you today, but I can tell you this is a priority for the administration, and the president is unafraid to use the economic and uh might, the military might of the United States of America to protect free speech around the world.
Quick follow-up, which is just um there was a Reuters story saying that the Trump administration was looking at this Europe US trade deal as one of the sticking points, this issue of the censorship, not just of US platforms of Americans.
Do you have any updates on how those trade talks are going?
And I also wonder if the president is concerned about NATO membership.
NATO membership requires that you be a democracy and you have free speech.
Is it possible That some of these actions that we've seen in Romania, France, and Germany would disqualify those countries from being in NATO after this.
I have not heard the president discuss NATO membership in regards to this issue in particular, but I have heard him discuss the issue of free speech and the importance of free speech with foreign leaders around the world, including the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom when we were in Scotland.
He the president brought this up and how important it is for the Prime Minister to protect free speech in the UK and in various conversations with other world leaders.
So he brings it up, and I think the entire world knows that this is a priority for the president of the United States.
Gabe.
Thank you, Caroline.
Regarding the Israeli strike in Doha, how much time or how much of a heads up did the US get and does the president support the strike?
Sure.
Well, I have a statement to read for all of you with respect to the Israeli strike in Doha.
And here it is.
This morning, the Trump administration was notified by the United States military that as Israel was attacking Hamas, which very unfortunately was located in a section of Doha, the capital of Qatar.
Unilaterally bombing inside Qatar, a sovereign nation and close ally of the United States that is working very hard and bravely taking risks with us to broker peace, does not advance Israel or America's goals.
However, eliminating Hamas who have profited off the misery of those living in Gaza is a worthy goal.
President Trump immediately directed Special Envoy Whitkoff to inform the Qataris of the impending attack, which he did.
The president views Qatar as a strong ally and friend of the United States and feels very badly about the location of this attack.
President Trump wants all of the hostages in Gaza and the bodies of the dead released in this war to end now.
President Trump also spoke to Prime Minister Netanyahu after the attack.
The Prime Minister told President Trump that he wants to make peace and quickly.
President Trump believes this unfortunate incident could serve as an opportunity for peace.
The president also spoke to the Emir and Prime Minister of Qatar and thanked them for their support and friendship to our country.
He assured them that such a thing will not happen again on their soil.
To be clear, the president disagrees with the location of the strike and that he passed that along to the prime minister Netanyahu.
The Prime Minister, the president just confirmed that in the statement that I just read to you, which I spoke with him about before coming out here.
Thank you, Caroline.
So is the president upset with Netanyahu now?
The president made his uh thoughts and concerns about this very clear.
And he spoke again both to Prime Minister Netanyahu and also the Emir and the Prime Minister of Qatar after this attack.
And the president has always made it very clear that he wants peace in the Middle East, just like he sought that and accomplished that in his first term.
He expects all of our allies and friends in the region, that includes both Qatar and Israel, to seek peace as well.
And he wants to see that happen.
and he's working with all of our allies in the region to get that done.
Could there be consequences, so to speak, for Netanyahu doing this, as it sounds, against the president's wishes, or at least his belief that it was appropriate, Is there going to be any directive from the president to Netanyahu in terms of what's allowed in the future?
And also, is there any concern this could jeopardize the Abraham Accords?
Look, that's a decision only the president can make with respect to your first question to answer your second question.
As you heard from the president, he said he believes that this can serve as an opportunity for peace, and he's still actively and aggressively pursuing it with all of our allies and partners in the region.
Jennifer.
Just to follow up on that, Caroline, are you able to say how often the president spoke to the Prime Minister of Israel before this?
Because he that's one question.
And then what did he mean on Sunday when he posted, I've given my last warning to Hamas, etc.
He wasn't talking about this strike on Doha?
No, he was not.
Um, as I told you, the Trump administration was notified by the United States military that Israel was attacking Hamas, and the president spoke to the Prime Minister after the attack, as well as again, the Emir and the Prime Minister of Qatar.
And I know Secretary Rubio and Special Envoy Whitkoff were present for those that call with the Qataris as well.
Uh Reagan.
Thanks, Caroline.
I have two questions for you on crime crackdown.
Sure.
Democrats would try to argue that red states have higher crime rates while overlooking problems of high crimes in blue cities.
I'm wondering if the president would consider working with red state governors to fix high crime in blue cities, like in Memphis, Tennessee.
So, first of all, I want to get to the premise of your question, Reagan, which is being pushed by Democrats, that there is crime in red states.
Of course, there is crime in all states, but the crime in these cities is all in cities that are run by Democrats.
If you look at the top the list of the top 20 high crime cities in the United States, every single one, with the exception of one in Louisiana, is run by a Democrat.
And these Democrats have supported the same policies that I spoke about at the beginning of this briefing, like cashless bail.
If you look at a red state, Mississippi, but a Democrat-run city in that state, Jackson, in 2019, Jackson, Mississippi eliminated cash bail for virtually all misdemeanor cases.
And while Jackson is not formally a sanctuary city, the state of Minnesota Mississippi formally banned sanctuary cities.
And this city has acted as a de facto sanctuary city for criminals and illegal aliens since 2017.
Same thing, Birmingham, Alabama, a Democrat-run city in a red state.
In 2017, the Birmingham City Council unanimously passed a resolution, quote, committing to establish sanctuary policies.
So if you actually look at the facts from these Democrat-run cities, these are cities that are run by Democrats and by members of the Democrat Party.
These are blue cities, and they have all supported these disastrous policies which allow repeated career criminals back onto the streets to further commit acts of violence.
And so to answer your question, yes, the president wants to work with anyone across this country who wants to end these horrible policies and to bring law and order to our streets.
And I think that is proven by his tremendous cooperation with the mayor of Washington, D.C. and our nation's capital.
And just look at the results of that.
And I do have some updates for you on the DC crime crackdown if anyone is interested.
There have been a total of 2,177 arrests made since the start of the operation on August 7th.
Just last night, there were 57 arrests made in Washington, D.C. Of the 57 arrests, there were 14 illegal aliens who were arrested, many of whom had prior criminal histories and other arrests just last night in our nation's capital.
So you all can be very grateful for this.
Our great men and women of law enforcement, both federal and local, working together as they should, made an arrest on a warrant for assault with the intent to kill the subject shot two adult males after an altercation.
They made an arrest on a warrant for an armed carjacking.
The subject assaulted an adult male in the face with a firearm and then took his keys.
We also made an arrest on a warrant for simple assault and the destruction of property and subsequently charged with second degree fat theft.
Last night in DC, there was an arrest for possession of a controlled substance with second degree theft.
There was an arrest for possession of a controlled substance with the intent to distribute that subject.
The person is also a subject of interest in a homicide in a carjacking.
Last night in DC, we also arrested a felon in possession of a firearm care who is carrying that firearm without a license.
So these are the career criminals.
These are the bad guys that we are picking up in Washington, DC every day.
The president would love to do this in every Democrat-run city across the country.
And he hopes that more Democrats will call the White House to allow us to help them.
One more that's D.C. specific.
Congress is voiced to not understand the terms of federalization of the D.C. police.
Mayor Bowser signed the executive order formalizing cooperation with federal courts.
You just mentioned all the success that the operation has had.
Does the White House believe that the mayor Bowser's action is enough to continue the crime crackdown?
We are very grateful for the mayor's cooperation in this effort, and we look forward to continuing to work with her and the Metropolitan Police Department.
Bloomberg.
Thanks, Caroline.
The president says, you know, can we expect a phone call between the two leaders this week?
I don't have any phone calls to read out between the president and the other foreign leaders.
Ed.
Thanks, John.
I'm going to ask about the benchmark revisions that came out.
If you look at the revisions between March of 2024 and March of 2025, you do a little math.
It averages down to 73,000 jobs roughly per month added to the economy, less than what was thought.
When can we expect the Trump administration out there policies are rolling out for that increase, that average to increase?
Well, let me just say something about the revisions that came out this morning.
And this was one of the biggest revisions in absolute terms in decades.
And the benchmark year, March 2024 to 2025 shows that the job growth was vastly weaker during the Biden administration than ever previously reported.
Between this revision and last year's job growth was actually overstated by approximately two million jobs.
And the Biden administration stood up here and vouched for that data and told you that data was real.
And when President Trump calls into question the veracity of that data, like he did before he took the oath of office, and even now as president of the United States, he was ridiculed for that.
And turns out this revision proves two things.
Number one, the president was right.
And this is why we need new leadership at the Fed.
And this makes it very clear that President Trump inherited a much worse economy by the Biden administration than ever reported.
And it also proves that the Federal Reserve is holding our monetary policy far too restrictive.
Interest rates are too high.
The Fed needs to cut the rates because of the mess that we inherited from the Biden administration.
The president has said a year, uh, Secretary Besson said maybe the fourth quarter.
When can we expect these numbers to increase?
Well, first we need accurate numbers.
We need truthful and honest data, which is why the president took the monumental step to try and appoint and confirm new leadership at the BLS so we can have data that we can actually rely on.
And that's what the president has been doing, and we hope that his nominee will soon be confirmed.
Charlie.
You address the crime of Renaissance.
And the president has done a lot to deliver justice for victims of crimes like that horrific static.
And the Epstein files are back in the news because a lot of Americans feel that those that Jeffrey Epstein's victims never got justice.
Do you think he can deliver, does he want to deliver more justice for them?
And is he willing to meet with that?
The president cares about victims of all crimes.
And that's why Republicans and the Trump Department of Justice have done more in terms of transparency when it comes to the Epstein case than any prior administration.
And why are the Democrats all of a sudden caring about this?
It's because they are desperately trying to concoct a hoax to smear the president of the United States.
We have seen this time and time again.
Rokana and all of these other Democrats, they could have cared about those victims four years ago when Joe Biden was in office.
They could have pushed for transparency then.
Unfortunately, the Democrats are using victims as political pawns to try to smear and to push a hoax against the president of the United States.
And I will get you uh numbers on the amount of child predators that this administration and this FBI and this Department of Justice have locked up under President Trump's leadership.
We have done more than any president to protect uh victims of crime, especially disgusting heinous sexual crimes.
And that includes the deportation of illegal aliens who are perpetrating these crimes against innocent victims in our country right now today, and that remains a top priority for this administration.
Does the president will he meet with the victims on the Doha strikes?
Did the president speak with Netanyahu before they were carried out?
Did he urge him to not go through with it or did they only speak afterwards?
Again, I read you a statement.
The Trump administration was notified by the United States military that Israel was attacking Hamas.
The president uh directed the special envoy Whitcoff to immediately call the Qataris.
Um, and after the attack, he spoke to Prime Minister Netanyahu.
Thank you.
Uh about the Epstein case.
Would the White House report a professional handwriting expert review of the document released yesterday to prove that it's not the president's signature?
Uh sure, we would support that.
And in fact, I have already seen many forensic uh analysts of signatures coming out.
I believe it was the Daily Signal that published a piece with three separate uh signature analysts who said that this absolutely was not the president's authentic signature.
And we have maintained that position all along.
The president did not write this letter, he did not sign this letter, and that's why the president's external legal team is aggressively pursuing litigation against the Wall Street Journal, and they will continue to.
Christian.
Thanks, Caroline.
Following up on Ed, now that we have these revised jobs numbers, is the president concerned at all that price spikes, you know, stemming from his tariffs through the end of the year might actually be driving the country towards a depression or recession.
What I'm asking is, is he committed to these policies now that we know how faulty the jobs data was?
The president is committed to his policies because his policies are working, Christian.
And there have been a lot of people uh fear-mongering about inflation in this room, but it just has not come to fruition on a monthly basis.
CPI inflation has now come in at or below the market's expectation for six consecutive months every month that President Trump has been in office.
Overall, inflation has run at a 1.9% average pace in the president's first six months in office.
Uh, If you I would have told all of you that in January, you would not have believed me, but those are the facts and those are the numbers.
And we also see many other positive signs and economic indicators, like real GB GDP.
In the second quarter, it was revised up to 3.3%.
That beat the market's expectation.
We know there's a capital spending boom right now, which we know is one of the greatest economic indicators of job growth.
We know wages are increasing at a far faster pace than they were under the previous administration.
We see productivity in the second quarter was also revised up to a strong 3.3%.
And total industry, industrial production, factory output also surged.
All of this means the economy is moving, people are working, people are spending money.
You look at consumer spending, that is also ticking up and in the right direction.
Uh, and it a large part it's because of the incredible work the president has done in terms of energy and unlocking our energy dominance in this country.
Again, these jobs, uh, the the numbers from the BLS today prove um that the economy was an absolute mess, and we are working every single day to fix it.
And all of those indicators I just read for you are positive sign of what is to come.
Just one more quickly on trade.
Um, just wanted to uh get a bit of clarity on the sequence of events for the Doha attack and the notification.
Um, you said that the US military um uh notified uh I go right to the U the Trump administration was notified by the US military.
That's right.
Was the US military notified by the Israeli military, or did the um US military detect an incoming Israeli attack on Kantal?
The US military notified the White House and the president of the United States.
That's all I have to share for you on that, Danny.
Um also following up, he said that uh the president assured the leaders of Qatar that this would never happen again.
Did he say that to the Prime Minister of Israel and did Prime Minister Netanyahu agree to that?
Uh the president told that to the emir and the prime minister of Qatar, and the president also overstressed the importance of peace in the region in his conversation with Prime Minister Netanyahu as well.
And Prime Minister Netanyahu told President Trump he wants peace and he wants it quickly.
That's what the president expects to happen.
The president is very clear in the statement that he just had me read, and you will all see it out on True Social very shortly, I am sure.
The whole world will see it.
He wants all of the hostages released out of Gaza, and he wants this war to end.
Those are very two clear directives that the president is making very clear for the entire world to understand.
Mary.
But Qatar obviously has been helping to negotiate these ceasefire talks.
Does the president think that Israel is undermining negotiations by striking Qatar?
Is he concerned that Qatar's no longer going to want to play that intermediary role?
I think the president addressed that in this statement.
I can read the whole thing for you again.
I think it's very thorough because the president wanted to address all of your questions.
He wrote, we wrote, unilaterally bombing inside Qatar, a sovereign nation and close ally of the United States that is working very hard and bravely taking risks with us to broker peace does not advance Israel or America's goals.
However, eliminating Hamas, who have profited off the misery of those living in Gaza, is a worthy goal.
So he answered that question.
You can't say that Israel informed the U.S. What I can tell you is the United States military informed the Trump administration.
Ouija.
Thank you.
And a quick follow on that.
Can you tell us when the US military was notified, given that the largest US military base is in Doha?
And then I have a question on DC crime.
This morning, just before the attack, as I said earlier as well.
Okay, thank you.
And uh yesterday, the president spoke about DC crime and talked about how there was virtually none.
And then he expressed frustration about things that take place in the home.
They call crime.
He said, you know, they'll do anything they can to find something.
If a man has a little fight with the wife, they say this is crime.
See, now I can't claim 100%.
Exactly what crimes was the president referring to.
He wasn't referring to crimes.
That's exactly the point he was making, Ouija.
What the president is saying is that these crimes will be made up and reported as a crime to undermine the great work that the federal task force is doing to reduce crime in Washington, DC.
And I think the president has every reason to believe that, given the efforts of many reporters in this room who actively seek to undermine the president and what he's doing in our nation's capital.
We all know that deep inside you all agree with this because you all live here.
And I'm sure you are very grateful for the administration's efforts to make the city, which we all reside in much safer for ourselves and our families.
Michael.
Thank you, Caroline.
Florida Congressman Randy Fine is calling for judges to face consequences if the violent repeat offenders they release go on to commit new crimes.
Is that something the president supports?
This is not something I've heard the president discuss.
You can ask him yourself next time you have the opportunity to.
How's that?
Caroline, one more question.
On Thursday, President Trump will head to the Pentagon and also to New York City in honor of the 24th anniversary of 9-11.
President expressed any interest on creating or having Congressman create a new 9-11 commission to answer some of the ongoing questions many Americans have about that day.
I again have not heard the president discuss that.
You're welcome to ask him yourself, but I do know he very much looks forward to going to both the Pentagon and the Yankees game in New York City on Thursday to commemorate the 24th anniversary, as you know.
Um, the president is a New Yorker at heart.
He loves the city very much.
It is his home.
Um and you'll hear more about that on Thursday when the president speaks on this himself.
Kelly.
Caroline, thank you.
I wanted to ask you a question about the president uh speaking yesterday before the religious liberty commission.
Uh, as you know, he's created the White House Faith Office, the task force on anti-Christian bias.
And yesterday talked about the importance of the Bible in America and the importance of prayer in America.
Uh, some people have criticized him for that in stating that he's espousing Christian nationalism.
Yet the president has called on the American people to band together and pray for this nation for people of all faiths.
How important is that to the Trump administration?
And are there guidelines for implementing that?
Well, last time I checked, it's not just Christians who pray, it's people of all faith who pray.
And that's what the president wants to protect.
The religious freedom for Americans of all faith.
And he spoke about that yesterday, and that's why uh he was very proud and excited to announce this new initiative, pray America, encouraging all Americans to pray for our country and the goodness of our country leading up to America's 250th birthday next year.
Why don't we take some from the sides?
Elizabeth, go ahead.
Thank you, Caroline.
I have two questions.
First, on prayer again.
Is the Trump administration looking for the forthcoming prayer guidelines to challenge existing court precedent on the right to pray in public schools?
Um, the president spoke about that yesterday and some of the changes we are making to ensure that the religious liberties of America's students and our youth are respected in public schools.
In fact, he had a young student and invited him on stage to share his story about how when this young boy spoke about biological and biblical truth in his classroom, um, he faced consequences for that, and how uh Americans of faith should not be facing consequences for expressing their religious freedom and their religious views.
Uh, not in any public school in America should that be happening.
If you hear the president talk about that yesterday.
Sure.
Caroline, thank you so much.
Regarding Israel attacking Gohan decide phone phone, what was President Trump involvement in that case in?
Look, I don't have anything more to read out for you on this other than the very lengthy and thorough statement that I have shared repeatedly now.
Sure.
Go ahead.
Thank you.
Um after the Supreme Court ruling yesterday on the ICE raids in Los Angeles, um, some uh particularly non-white U.S. citizens are saying that they're going to begin carrying their U.S. passports with them at all times.
Um, what is the White House's response to Americans who are concerned about being swept up as uh others have been already in these enforcement actions?
They should not be concerned because this administration is focused on the detention and deportation of illegal alien criminals who broke our nation's immigration laws.
And the Supreme Court upheld the Trump administration's right to stop individuals in Los Angeles to briefly question them regarding their legal status because the law allows this, and this has been the practice of the federal government for decades.
And the immigration and nationality act states that immigration officers can briefly stop an individual to question them about their immigration status if the officer has reasonable suspicion that the individual is illegally present in the United States.
And reasonable suspicion is not just based on race, it's based on a totality of the circumstances to review.
And I will tell you, I spoke to our borders are about this this morning.
When ICE goes out to conduct a targeted operation uh to deport illegal criminals from our community.
They are doing so with intelligence.
They are doing so with law enforcement sources.
They are doing so uh in most cases with the backing of local law enforcement who know exactly where these illegal alien criminals and drug traffickers and drug dealers are hiding in plain sight in American communities.
And the men and women of ICE are doing everything they can They're doing everything they can.
In the check from from the president for $22,000 for a fully depreciated woman.
I wondered if the president has any recollection of that or what you guys make of that photo that was included in those documents.
Did you see the signature on that check?
It is not Donald Trump's signature.
It is absolutely not the president did not sign that check.
But does he recognize the Caroline?
I'm in New York City election.
Um Caroline.
Is he considered?
I'll take both of you.
Go ahead.
So um first, um, is the president considering offering uh Mayor Eric Adams a job?
If so, why?
And does he think Curtis Lee was a serious candidate for New York City Mayor?
Look, the president has made it quite clear he wants uh this race to move forward in New York City.
He does not want a communist to be running New York City, but as for weighing in on other individual candidates, I'll leave that to the president to do himself.
And then um following up on Reagan's question, you know, many of these high highest crime cities in America black people.
The president is trying to protect all Americans uh from crime, and he wants to make all of our cities in America safe.
And the fact is the most dangerous cities in America are run by Democrats overwhelmingly.
And according to the FBI crime statistics, 19 of the top 20 cities with the highest murder rate are run by Democrats.
And these high crime Democrat-run cities are driving up the crime states and crime staffs and otherwise safe red states.
So, of course, he wants to address this problem.
He's made that quite clear.
Um, you know, Mike Johnson came out and said that the president was an FBI informant.
Do you know what he meant by that?
If not, if it's not true.
Uh, I can affirm that is not true.
I think the speaker was referring to the fact that President Trump kicked Jeffrey Epstein out of his Mar-Lago property um for reasons the president has already discussed.
John, oh thank you, Caroline.
First of all, as a uh Washington, DC resident with my family, I just want to thank the administration for revitalizing safety here in the last three weeks.
It's been stunning.
Well, I want to go to Virginia.
All of a sudden, out of the blue, Winston Sears has closed the gap on Abigail Spanberger.
You have four issues.
Coerced, portioned in Fairfax County without telling mom or dad, no parents, girls going in boys' bathrooms on film, right?
Two of the uh young fellows get suspended for complaining about it.
Virginia Beach Man, uh, an innocent man was uh is now died in a car crash by a drunk illegal going on the other side of the road, and now you got Spanbergers got these racist signs.
When are we gonna get the president to make an official endorsement of Winsome Sears and maybe come and campaign in South West Virginia?
Well, as you know, I'm very limited in what I can talk about when it comes to political endorsements in future elections from this government podium.
Um, but all of the issues that you just mentioned, I know are very important to the president, and it's quite common sense.
It's the foundation of the Republican Party, and it's what sent this president back to the Oval Office.
We want to keep men out of women's sports and bathrooms.
We want criminals to be locked up.
The president wants to see law and order in every state across the country.
But as for political endorsements, I'll leave that to him and his political advisors to make those.
Okay, one on Doha and one on immigration and crime.
Sure.
On Doha, ahead of the strike we saw today.
Did the administration at any point try to dissuade the Israelis from the potential for an action like we saw today.
Again, I have answered questions repeatedly on this.
I have a very lengthy statement, which we will release after this briefing for all of you to read and to report on once again.
Okay.
And then on a case in Maryland, um, the killing of Dakara Thompson, uh, there are reports that the suspect arrested for her murder was in the country illegally uh and arrested and released for driving under the influence, both in 2022 and in April of this year by U.S. Park Police.
Is administration looking into what process allowed this to take place?
Yes, we absolutely are.
As soon as we saw this case, we ensured that the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Justice were on it, and I can assure you that they are.
This is another heinous act of violence against someone who should have never been out in our country illegally in the first place, and that's exactly why the deportation of illegal criminals from our country is a top priority for this administration, and it's something that is happening every single day.
And I would encourage all of you to continue to report on the very violent illegal alien criminals that we are deporting daily from American communities across the country.
There will never, we will never understand how many lives uh have been saved by these efforts or how many lives would have been lost if not for this president uh in the administration's policy to deport illegal criminal aliens.
Thanks, Caroline.
Follow up on Trump's question, would the president be with the Jeffrey Speaker?
I don't have any meetings for you to read out on that.
Caroline, go ahead.
Thanks, guys.
Um, is the Trump administration considering a ban on transgender Americans owning guns?
Is that something the president would support, even as we've seen some gun groups oppose the idea of that?
Uh I saw reporting on this.
I understand there were very preliminary, low-level discussions about this at the Department of Justice, and then sometimes those discussions are reported as fact.
I'm not tracking any potential actions on this front.
Um, and I'll let the president weigh in on that.
It's a policy decision, uh, and it's far too early or or would be premature, inappropriate for me to weigh in on it at this point in time.
Go ahead.
Um, after the uh immigration raid at the plant in Georgia on Friday, the president said over the weekend that he's open to some kind of changes and perhaps rules or you know visa rules or law that would prevent something like that happening in the future for uh skilled workers to train American workers.
That's right.
Can you confirm that in and that the administration supports those changes?
And what exactly would that look like?
Well, the president said it himself in a statement that uh he put out on Sunday night, uh, where he is very grateful for foreign companies from around the world uh in the investments that they are making right here in the United States of America, and he understands that these companies want to bring their highly skilled and trained workers with them,
especially when they're creating very niche products like chips, or in this point, in this case in Georgia, like batteries, but the president also expects these foreign companies to hire American workers and for these foreign workers and American workers to work together to train and to teach one another.
And so uh he expects these foreign companies to hire American labor.
Uh, we want Americans to have these jobs.
We want Americans need these jobs, uh, but he also understands the need for these companies to bring over their workers who already have these skills.
So I think it's a very changes might be.
I think it's a very nuanced uh and responsible and sensible approach for the president to take.
And I know that the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Commerce are working on this matter together.
I would defer it to uh you to them for any further action on this front.
Caroline, uh, thank you.
Just I want to follow up on something you said.
You said the Epstein documents are a hoax that Democrats are perpetrating against the president.
You said he didn't sign the check, that he didn't uh sign the birthday card that he allegedly signed.
So, what is the theory since these documents came from the Epstein state?
Who is who is, I guess, in your view, faking the documents?
I did not say the documents are a hoax.
I said the entire narrative surrounding Jeffrey Epstein right now that is absorbing many of the liberal cable channels on on television is a hoax that is being perpetuated by opportunistic Democrats like Rokana and the others whom you saw on that press conference outside of Capitol Hill, uh, who are trying to push this hoax against the president of the United States.
What exactly is the hoax?
I'm just trying to understand what's fake.
What's fake is not the documentary.
The hoax is the Democrats pretending to care about victims of crime when they do not care about victims of crime when they have done nothing to solve crimes, when they have done nothing to lock up child pedophiles and child rapists Across the country.
Uh, and when they are now using victims as political props to try and again smear the president of the United States and drag on this bad story about him.
It is a distraction.
The Democrats view this story as nothing more than an attempt to distract from the accomplishments and the achievements of this administration.
And that is what we mean when we call it a hoax.
He didn't sign these.
If you said he didn't sign the birthday card, he didn't do this, he also didn't do the check.
Those were in documents from the estate.
So what is the working theory as to why he's in the president has one of the most famous signatures in the world, and he has for many, many years.
You know that, Maggie, you've covered him for a long time, long before he assumed this office when he was a businessman in New York.
The president did not write that letter.
He did not sign those documents.
He maintains that position, and that position will be argued in court by his lawyers.
The president will be argued in court by his lawyers.
D.M. Thank you.
Is the president planning to meet with Eric Adams in New York, maybe at the Yankees game?
And has he personally talked to him about the race?
I am not tracking any meeting with time.
I talked to him about the race.
I am not tracking uh any meeting with uh Mayor Adams at this time.
Um, but if that happens, I'm sure the New York Post will be one of the first people to know about it.
I'll take a couple more questions before we go to the back.
New nation all the way in the back.
Uh, regarding the US military, the growing US military presence in the Caribbean.
Uh, when asked directly about possible future military action, President Trump responded, you're gonna find out.
What could the US public expect of that situation moving forward?
And what sort of ongoing threat is Trent Dear Wagra?
I think it would be very unwise of me to preview what the president meant from this podium.
Uh, but I think what the heart of what the president was saying, I know what the heart of what the president was saying in this administration believes, um, is that the regime in Venezuela is illegitimate, and it is unacceptable to this president in this administration to traffic illegal deadly drugs into the United States of America.
And that's why the president and the administration took very strong action against a boat and 11 narco-terrorists in international waters, as you all saw.
I think that sends a very strong message to drug traffickers around the world.
The president will not tolerate it, and the amount of drugs on that boat represents the lives of thousands of Americans that could have been killed by that deadly poison, and we're not going to allow that deadly poison to come into our country.
You the president will be signing a proclamation in the Oval Office later this afternoon.
Um, and we will see you all later.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Ladies and gentlemen, as you may well know, the there was an outage in the studio.
Uh, unfortunately, there was also outages in these feeds on YouTube.
It's very strange.
This also happened for our producers, ALX, and for everyone across it's like almost like the feed of the White House has some type of glitch in it.
So there's obviously a bug in the matrix.
They don't want us to be talking about this, all the more reason to talk about it.
This is my president.
This, ladies and gentlemen, is what I voted for.
Just a final note on this.
I posted it, please pull it up, pull it up during the show.
Here we go.
I got it.
You can just pop up uh just pop up my screen here.
Or here.
Here you go, boys.
Thank you.
There's the actual full image.
You weren't able to see this during the uh full press conference, but this is what Caroline Levitt had at her sides.
God bless Caroline Levitt and the entire White House media team.
We need to go full screen with this, please.
Thank you.
This image right here.
This is her shaming the media into not covering this.
That's what was happening here.
This is Caroline Lovett shoving it down their throats.
And saying, how dare you actually not cover this?
This deadly premeditated racial hate crime.
Shame the media in front of the entire world.
Showing the victims.
Show him the showing the victim and the murderer.
And then shaming them to their faces.
A couple of good questions on this.
Obviously, I'd want more.
But this is why I voted for Trump.
To fight evil, you first must confront it and confront it fearlessly.
Trump administration is fearlessly fighting against evil.
Ladies and gentlemen, this is what it looks like.
To stare evil in the face and challenge it and pull on the full armor.
Ladies and gentlemen, I'm proud.
Proud, proud of our vote for Donald Trump.
And for this entire team.
We know them well.
We'll be in DC, I think, later this week.
We have some very exciting news on all that.
Um, but for the time being, that is the end of the press conference.
Thank you very much for watching.
Please like, share, and subscribe to our channel.
We will always show up for you.
