=== Camp David Discussions (04:51) ===

[00:00:00]  The U.S. House is in session today.
[00:00:02]  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.
[00:00:16]  Later this week, the chamber's expected to vote on a bill cutting $9.4 billion in funding for foreign aid and public broadcasting.
[00:00:24]  Live coverage of the U.S. House here on C-SPAN when members gabble in this afternoon at noon Eastern.
[00:00:32]  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.
[00:00:41]  He also answered questions about sending troops to California in response to protests in Los Angeles.
[00:01:01]  We have Marco.
[00:01:02]  I said, come on, let's go see the fake news and enjoy ourselves.
[00:01:07]  Get a couple of nice questions.
[00:01:08]  How are you?
[00:01:09]  Who would like to ask a question?
[00:01:11]  President, on California, are you prepared to invoke the Insurrection Act?
[00:01:16]  It depends on whether or not there's an insurrection.
[00:01:20]  No, no, but you have violent people, and we're not going to let them get away with it.
[00:01:24]  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?
[00:01:32]  I love this guy.
[00:01:33]  I think that is the great.
[00:01:34]  Who are you with?
[00:01:35]  Flight Bart News.
[00:01:36]  It's a great group.
[00:01:37]  Reitbart.
[00:01:38]  Great group.
[00:01:40]  I think that you're going to see some very strong law and order.
[00:01:44]  As a foreigner, CNN's Dana Baptisting that this wasn't a real riot in Los Angeles.
[00:01:52]  Is that what she said?
[00:01:53]  Oh, I think it was Orion.
[00:01:54]  I think it was very bad.
[00:01:56]  It was covered, really, as a riot by almost everybody.
[00:01:59]  The Press on Camp David, sir.
[00:02:01]  What is the purpose of your meetings at Camp David in the next 24 hours?
[00:02:04]  The President is going up to Camp David.
[00:02:05]  We have meetings with various people about very major subjects.
[00:02:10]  Now, we thought we'd do it at Camp David.
[00:02:12]  There's probably better security there than any place.
[00:02:16]  We'll be meeting with a lot of people, including generals, as you know, and admirals.
[00:02:22]  No, no.
[00:02:23]  But we'll be meeting with military people and others.
[00:02:27]  Any foreign visitors at Camp David?
[00:02:29]  I can't say that.
[00:02:30]  Even if you don't plan to invoke the Insurrection Act, do you plan to send troops to Los Angeles?
[00:02:36]  What?
[00:02:36]  Even if you're not planning to invoke that Insurrection Act, you still plan to send troops?
[00:02:40]  Well, we're going to have troops everywhere.
[00:02:42]  We're not going to let this happen to our country.
[00:02:43]  We're not going to let our country be torn apart like it was under Biden and his autopad.
[00:02:50]  What is the bar for sending Marines to different cities?
[00:02:53]  The bar is what I think it is.
[00:02:54]  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.
[00:03:00]  It's about law and order.
[00:03:06]  We're going to see what we need.
[00:03:06]  We'll send whatever we need to make sure this law and order.
[00:03:11]  You first see those protests spreading to other cities, Chicago, New York, for example, in the next few days.
[00:03:16]  Yes, we're going to be watching it very closely.
[00:03:18]  And when they spit at people, you know, they spit.
[00:03:23]  That's their new thing.
[00:03:24]  They spit.
[00:03:24]  And worse, you know what they throw at them, right?
[00:03:27]  And when that happens, I have a little statement.
[00:03:29]  They say, they spit, we hit.
[00:03:33]  And I told them, nobody's going to spit on our police officers.
[00:03:38]  Nobody's going to spit on our military.
[00:03:40]  Which they do as a common thing.
[00:03:42]  They get up to them this far away and then they start spitting in their face.
[00:03:46]  That happens, they get hit very hard.
[00:03:49]  What are the rules of engagement to federal troops?
[00:03:52]  We'll just see what happens.
[00:03:54]  If we think there's a serious insurrection or less than that, we're going to have law and order.
[00:04:00]  Very important.
[00:04:01]  How would you define an insurrection?
[00:04:03]  You really just have to look at the site.
[00:04:05]  You have to see what's happening.
[00:04:07]  Last night in Los Angeles, we watched it very closely.
[00:04:12]  There was a lot of violence there.
[00:04:13]  There was a lot of violence that it could have gotten much worse.
[00:04:16]  And you have an incompetent governor.
[00:04:18]  Just take a look at the train stations that he's building.
[00:04:22]  Like 20 times over budget.
[00:04:24]  Nobody's ever seen anything like it.
[00:04:26]  So I did call him the other night.
[00:04:29]  I said, look, you've got to take care of this.
[00:04:31]  Otherwise, I'm sending in the troops.
[00:04:32]  That's what we did.
[00:04:33]  Thank you very much.
[00:04:34]  You have a question for Marco?
[00:04:37]  Question for Marco?
[00:04:40]  California could face federal charges if they stand in the way of the deportation.
[00:04:45]  Something that Mole may have to get to.
[00:04:46]  If they stand in the way of law and order, yeah, they will face charges.
[00:04:50]  Thank you very much.
