The U.S. House is in session today. | |
| Lawmakers are expected to consider 12 bills, including a measure denouncing the anti-Semitic terrorist attack in Boulder, Colorado, and naming a House press gallery after Frederick Douglass, the first black reporter allowed in the Capitol press galleries. | ||
| Later this week, the chamber's expected to vote on a bill cutting $9.4 billion in funding for foreign aid and public broadcasting. | ||
| Live coverage of the U.S. House here on C-SPAN when members gabble in this afternoon at noon Eastern. | ||
| Well, last night, President Trump spoke to reporters while en route to Camp David, where he said we would meet with, quote, a lot of people, including generals and admirals. | ||
| He also answered questions about sending troops to California in response to protests in Los Angeles. | ||
| We have Marco. | ||
| I said, come on, let's go see the fake news and enjoy ourselves. | ||

|
Get a couple of nice questions. | |
| How are you? | ||
| Who would like to ask a question? | ||
| President, on California, are you prepared to invoke the Insurrection Act? | ||
| It depends on whether or not there's an insurrection. | ||
| No, no, but you have violent people, and we're not going to let them get away with it. | ||
| President, do you think if Democrats continue to side with illegal aliens over law enforcement, that they'll ever be able to win a national election again? | ||
| I love this guy. | ||
| I think that is the great. | ||
| Who are you with? | ||
| Flight Bart News. | ||
| It's a great group. | ||
| Reitbart. | ||
| Great group. | ||
| I think that you're going to see some very strong law and order. | ||
| As a foreigner, CNN's Dana Baptisting that this wasn't a real riot in Los Angeles. | ||
| Is that what she said? | ||
| Oh, I think it was Orion. | ||
| I think it was very bad. | ||
| It was covered, really, as a riot by almost everybody. | ||
| The Press on Camp David, sir. | ||
| What is the purpose of your meetings at Camp David in the next 24 hours? | ||
| The President is going up to Camp David. | ||
| We have meetings with various people about very major subjects. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Now, we thought we'd do it at Camp David. | |
| There's probably better security there than any place. | ||
| We'll be meeting with a lot of people, including generals, as you know, and admirals. | ||
| No, no. | ||
| But we'll be meeting with military people and others. | ||
| Any foreign visitors at Camp David? | ||
| I can't say that. | ||
| Even if you don't plan to invoke the Insurrection Act, do you plan to send troops to Los Angeles? | ||
| What? | ||
| Even if you're not planning to invoke that Insurrection Act, you still plan to send troops? | ||
| Well, we're going to have troops everywhere. | ||
| We're not going to let this happen to our country. | ||
| We're not going to let our country be torn apart like it was under Biden and his autopad. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What is the bar for sending Marines to different cities? | |
| The bar is what I think it is. | ||
| I mean, if we see danger to our country and to our citizens, we'll be very, very strong in terms of law and order. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's about law and order. | |
| We're going to see what we need. | ||
| We'll send whatever we need to make sure this law and order. | ||
| You first see those protests spreading to other cities, Chicago, New York, for example, in the next few days. | ||
| Yes, we're going to be watching it very closely. | ||
| And when they spit at people, you know, they spit. | ||
| That's their new thing. | ||
| They spit. | ||
| And worse, you know what they throw at them, right? | ||
| And when that happens, I have a little statement. | ||
| They say, they spit, we hit. | ||
| And I told them, nobody's going to spit on our police officers. | ||
| Nobody's going to spit on our military. | ||
| Which they do as a common thing. | ||
| They get up to them this far away and then they start spitting in their face. | ||
| That happens, they get hit very hard. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What are the rules of engagement to federal troops? | |
| We'll just see what happens. | ||
| If we think there's a serious insurrection or less than that, we're going to have law and order. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Very important. | |
| How would you define an insurrection? | ||
| You really just have to look at the site. | ||
| You have to see what's happening. | ||
| Last night in Los Angeles, we watched it very closely. | ||
| There was a lot of violence there. | ||
| There was a lot of violence that it could have gotten much worse. | ||
| And you have an incompetent governor. | ||
| Just take a look at the train stations that he's building. | ||
| Like 20 times over budget. | ||
| Nobody's ever seen anything like it. | ||
| So I did call him the other night. | ||
| I said, look, you've got to take care of this. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Otherwise, I'm sending in the troops. | |
| That's what we did. | ||
| Thank you very much. | ||
| You have a question for Marco? | ||
| Question for Marco? | ||
| California could face federal charges if they stand in the way of the deportation. | ||
| Something that Mole may have to get to. | ||
| If they stand in the way of law and order, yeah, they will face charges. | ||
| Thank you very much. |
