Camp David Discussions 00:04:51
unidentified
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.
donald j trump ▲ ● ▼
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.
donald j trump ▲ ● ▼
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.
donald j trump ▲ ● ▼
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.
donald j trump ▲ ● ▼
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.
donald j trump ▲ ● ▼
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.
donald j trump ▲ ● ▼
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.
