00:01:02>> MORE NOW FROM BATTLEGROUND MINNESOTA, WITH A DEBATE
00:01:05FEATURING DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES FOR THE U.S. SENATE, LIEUTENANT
00:01:09GOVERNOR PEGGY FLANAGAN AND CONGRESSWOMAN ANGIE CRAIG AS WE
00:01:12HEAD INTO TOMORROW'S PRIMARY. THEY TALK ABOUT ARTIFICIAL
00:01:14INTELLIGENCE, THE WAR IN IRAN, HEALTHCARE, IMMIGRATION
00:01:18ENFORCEMENT OPERATIONS, AND SUPREME COURT REFORMS.
00:01:20IT'S ABOUT AN HOUR.
00:01:23>> GOOD MORNING. THIS IS MPR NEWS.
00:01:26WE'RE ABOUT TWO WEEKS FROM PRIMARY DAY, TUESDAY, AUGUST 11.
00:01:30LOTS ON THE LINE, BUT WE'LL FOCUS TODAY ON THE U.S. SENATE
00:01:33RACE FOR THE DFL PARTY SPOT ON THE NOVEMBER BALLOT. WE HAVE THE TWO LEADING
00:01:38CONTENDERS WITH US IN STUDIO TODAY.
00:01:40THEY'RE ANGIE CRAIG, A FOUR-TERM U.S. HOUSE MEMBER.
00:01:43WELCOME. AND PEGGY FLANAGAN, FORMER STATE
00:01:47LEGISLATOR, AND FOR THE PAST SEVEN-PLUS YEARS, MINIMUM MEN'S LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR.
00:01:51GOOD MORNING. BEFORE WE GET STARTED, I WANT TO
00:01:54NOTE WE HOPE TO HAVE A SIMILAR DEBATE AMONG REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES, BUT THEY DIDN'T TAKE
00:01:58US UP ON THE INVITATION. FOR YOU TWO, THERE AREN'T A LOT OF GROUND RULES.
00:02:02WE'RE ASKING YOU AS BE AS
00:02:04SUCCINCT AS POSSIBLE TO GET TO AS MANY TOPICS AS POSSIBLE.
00:02:08HERE'S THE ONE CRITICAL RULE. DON'T TALK OVER EACH OTHER, BECAUSE THE RADIO LISTENERS WILL
00:02:11HAVE TROUBLE HEARING WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY. ALSO FOR THE RADIO AUDIENCE, YOU
00:02:16CAN WATCH THIS DEBATE AT MPRNEWS.ORG, STREAMING LIVE NOW,
00:02:19OR CATCH UP WITH IT LATER IF YOU MISSED ANYTHING. ALL SET?
00:02:23ALL RIGHT. THE ISSUE PORTFOLIO YOU'D CONFRONT IN THE U.S. SENATE IS
00:02:27PRETTY VAST, SOMETIMES UNPREDICTABLE. I WANT TO START WITH THE TOPIC
00:02:30THAT'S INCREASINGLY ON A LOT OF VOTERS' MINDS, AND THAT'S
00:02:33ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE. THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION HAS STAKED OUT A LARGELY
00:02:37DEREGULATORY POSTURE TOWARD A.I.
00:02:39MODELS UNDER DEVELOPMENT, ENCOURAGING VOLUNTARY
00:02:43PARTICIPATION IN REVIEWS FOR RISK, WHETHER THAT'S IN THE
00:02:46MILITARY, BANKING SECTOR, OR
00:02:49OTHER FACETS. PEGGY FLANAGAN, IS THAT THE RIGHT APPROACH?
00:02:53LT. GOV. FLANAGAN: I THINK WE HAVE TO BE INCREDIBLY CAUTIOUS WHEN IT COMES TO ARTIFICIAL
00:02:57INTELLIGENCE AND A.I.
00:02:58JUST LAST WEEK, WE SAW THAT
00:03:01OPENAI, ITS PROGRAM ESSENTIALLY
00:03:05JUMPED INTO ANOTHER SYSTEM AS IT WAS TRYING TO FIND THE RIGHT
00:03:08ANSWERS FOR A QUIZ.
00:03:10I THINK WE HAVE TO PROCEED WITH
00:03:14EXTREME CAUTION. I'M ALSO REALLY WORRIED ABOUT
00:03:17WHAT THIS MEANS FOR THE
00:03:20WORKFORCE, IF WE SEE A.I. TAKING INDIVIDUALS' JOBS AWAY.
00:03:24I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT THOSE CORPORATIONS THEN HAVE TO
00:03:27PAY A PRICE FOR IT.
00:03:28YOU KNOW, EITHER THROUGH TAXES
00:03:32OR OTHER MEANS. WHAT I'D ALSO SAY IS I THINK
00:03:35THIS IS PRETTY DANGEROUS.
00:03:38WE HAVE TO BE ABLE TO KEEP UP WITH TECHNOLOGY, BUT MY WORRY IS
00:03:41THAT THE TECHNOLOGY IS GOING TO
00:03:45EXCEED THE GUARD RAILS THAT WE HAVE IN PLACE RIGHT NOW.
00:03:48WE HAVE TO ENSURE THAT THERE ARE ADDITIONAL ONES IN PLACE. >> REPRESENTATIVE CRAIG, HANDS
00:03:52ON, HANDS OFF? REP. CRAIG: I THINK WE HAVE TO TAKE AN AGGRESSIVE APPROACH TO
00:03:56REGULATING A.I.
00:03:57LOOK, THE OUTPUT OF A.I. IS
00:04:00GOING TO HAVE MASSIVE CHANGES,
00:04:04NOT ONLY ON OUR WORKFORCE, AND I THINK THIS IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST
00:04:07ISSUES, WE HAVE TO TAKE AN ACTIVE ROLE IN MAKING SURE THAT
00:04:11THIS IS NOT A JOB KILLER FOR AMERICANS.
00:04:14LOOK, I LED A WORKFORCE OF 16,000 EMPLOYEES FOR A LOCAL
00:04:18COMPANY BEFORE I EVER RAN FOR CONGRESS.
00:04:22DURING THAT TIME, WE WERE VERY
00:04:24AGGRESSIVE IN FIGURING OUT WHAT
00:04:26JOBS EXIST IN THE LOCAL COMMUNITIES. SO I THINK THIS IS AN
00:04:30OPPORTUNITY TOEN GAUGE AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL.
00:04:34WHAT I WOULD SAY IS THAT JUMPING
00:04:35OUT OF THAT SAND BOX LAST WEEK,
00:04:38OPENAI, BRIAN, IT'S INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS.
00:04:41I DO THINK WE HAVE TO CONSIDER A KILL SWITCH. AND THE OTHER SIDE IS JUST THE
00:04:45DATA CENTERS. I THINK WE ACTUALLY HAVE TO
00:04:48FEDERALLY REGULATE, NO BIG TECH
00:04:52COMPANY GETS OUT OF NOT FUNDING
00:04:54THE ELECTRICITY COST AND THE WATER QUALITY AND WATER SUPPLY
00:04:58IN THIS COUNTRY IS ANOTHER CONCERN OF MINE.
00:05:00>> KILL SWITCH AND FEDERAL DATA CENTER REGULATION.
00:05:04SOUND GOOD TO YOU? LT. GOV. FLANAGAN: I THINK THIS IS AN EXISTENTIAL THREAT TO US,
00:05:07IF IT GETS OUT OF CONTROL.
00:05:09I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING THAT'S IMPORTANT.
00:05:12WHEN IT COMES TO DATA CENTERS, I
00:05:16THINK IT'S CLEAR THAT PEOPLE HAVE BIG CONCERNS ALL ACROSS
00:05:19MINNESOTA AND ALL ACROSS THIS COUNTRY.
00:05:22IT ABSOLUTELY IS TROUBLING TO ME
00:05:25THAT WE SEEM TO BE MOVING AT THE
00:05:27SPEED OF CORPORATE INTERESTS AND NOT OF COMMUNITY.
00:05:30AND WE HAVE TO DETERMINE WHO BENEFITS.
00:05:32RIGHT NOW IT'S THESE LARGE
00:05:35CORPORATE INTERESTS WHO ARE
00:05:39BENEFITING. AT THE SAME TIME WE SEE THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT,
00:05:42POTENTIALLY FOR FOLKS' WATER SUPPLY, AND THE ENERGY COSTS
00:05:45GOING UP. >> BRIEFLY ON BALANCES A.I., A
00:05:48NET PLUS OR MINUS? LT. GOV. FLANAGAN: I THINK THAT'S YET TO BE SEEN.
00:05:52BUT RIGHT NOW, I'M DEEPLY TROUBLED BY IT, ESPECIALLY WHEN
00:05:55WE SEE A.I. BEING USED TO
00:05:58MANIPULATE PEOPLE. EVEN JUST IN THIS RACE, THERE
00:06:02WAS AN AD THAT WAS AIRED THAT
00:06:05WAS AN A.I. VERSION OF ME.
00:06:07I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING THAT MINNESOTA LEGISLATORS TOOK A
00:06:12STAND ON. THERE WAS A SMALL WINDOW THAT
00:06:14ALLOWED FOR IT.
00:06:17BUT ULTIMATELY THIS CAN PUT PEOPLE AT GREAT RISK, AND I
00:06:21THINK IT ALSO INCREASES DISTRUST IN SYSTEMS AND IN GOVERNMENT.
00:06:24>> ANGIE CRAIG? REP. CRAIG: I WAS VERY CLEAR
00:06:26THAT ANY A.I. USAGE SHOULD BE WATERMARKED.
00:06:29PEOPLE OUGHT TO KNOW IF A.I. IS BEING USED.
00:06:31I THINK AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL, WE
00:06:34ALSO TO LEGISLATE THAT. NET-NET, I THINK IT'S GOING TO
00:06:37BE FULL OF ENORMOUS POTENTIAL.
00:06:40I THINK ABOUT WHAT MAYO CLINIC
00:06:42IS DOING IN TERMS OF MINING
00:06:45HEALTHCARE DATA TO COME UP WITH
00:06:48HOW DO WE TREAT DISEASE IN THIS COUNTRY.
00:06:51AND I THINK THAT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT THE FEDERAL
00:06:54GOVERNMENT CANNOT LET GET OUT THE BARN DOOR AND STAND ON THE
00:06:58SIDELINES. WE'VE GOT TO BE VERY AGGRESSIVE HERE. >> SIMILARLY, PREDICTION MARKETS
00:07:01HAVE SEEN EXPLOSIVE GROWTH, AND
00:07:03MANY PEOPLE WAGER ON JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING. THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HAS SUED
00:07:07STATES, INCLUDING MINNESOTA, FOR TRYING TO CLAMP DOWN ON THESE MARKETS.
00:07:10REPRESENTATIVE CRAIG, YOU SIT ON
00:07:12THE COMMITTEE THAT OVERSEES THE
00:07:15COMMODITIES FUTURES TRADING COMMISSION. WHAT DO YOU WANT TO SEE DONE?
00:07:18REP. CRAIG: WELL, WE WERE JUST IN A HEARING LAST WEEK ON
00:07:21PREDICTION MARKETS AS IT RELATES TO THE GAMING INDUSTRY, AND WE
00:07:25WERE PROUD TO HAVE THE INDIAN GAMING ASSOCIATION
00:07:28REPRESENTATIVE AT THAT HEARING. I THINK THE PREDICTION MARKETS ARE OUT OF CONTROL.
00:07:32WE NEED TO PUT MORE GUARD RAILS ON THEM.
00:07:35THE PROBLEM IS THAT THIS TRUMP
00:07:38ADMINISTRATION HAS ONLY NAMED
00:07:40ONE COMMISSIONER TO THE CFTC. CERTAINLY MY COMMITTEE AS
00:07:44RANKING MEMBER, THE TOP DEMOCRAT, HAS AUTHORITY OVER
00:07:47THIS. AND MR. SELL I CAN IS RUNNING
00:07:50THAT REGULAR FROM A REGULATORY PERSPECTIVE OUGHT BY HIMSELF.
00:07:54-- ALL BY HIMSELF. WE NEED BIPARTISAN COMMISSIONERS.
00:07:56WE NEED COPS ON THE BEAT AT THE CFTC.
00:07:59AND WE CERTAINLY NEED TO BAN
00:08:02INSIDER TRADING AND MANY OF THE ACTIVITIES GOING ON ON PREDICTION MARKETS.
00:08:06>> PEGGY FLANAGAN? LT. GOV. FLANAGAN: I'LL SAY A COUPLE OF THINGS HERE.
00:08:10I THINK IT'S CLEAR MINNESOTANS DON'T SUPPORT PREDICTIVE MARKETS.
00:08:14CLEARLY WE BANNED THIS THIS PAST LEGISLATIVE SESSION.
00:08:17THEY'RE ATTACKING US FOR IT. THEY'VE TAKEN US TO COURT.
00:08:21BUT I THINK THAT THIS IS ONE OF THE PLACES WHERE THERE'S SOME
00:08:25PRETTY SIGNIFICANT CONTRAST
00:08:27BETWEEN MYSELF AND CONGRESSWOMAN CRAIG.
00:08:30THE FOUNDERS OF KALSHI, WHO HAVE
00:08:32PROHIBITED TO HER CAMPAIGN, THEY HAVE THEIR PREFERRED CANDIDATE
00:08:36IN THIS RACE. AND WHILE SHE JUST TALKED ABOUT THE HEAD OF THE INDIAN GAMING
00:08:40ASSOCIATION COMING AND
00:08:42TESTIFYING, ULTIMATELY WHAT THESE PREDICTION MARKETS,
00:08:46POLYMARKET, KALSHI AND OTHERS,
00:08:47WOULD LIKE TO DO IS TO UNDERMINE
00:08:50INDIAN GAMING OVERALL. I THINK THAT'S GREAT RISK, NOT
00:08:54JUST FOR INDIAN COUNTRY AND FOR
00:08:56TRIBES AS A WHOLE, BUT FOR
00:08:59MINNESOTA, FOR LOCAL ECONOMIES,
00:09:02THESE ENTERPRISES ARE IMPORTANT.
00:09:06THEY'RE SIGNIFICANT. AND PREDICTIVE MARKETS HAVE
00:09:08THEIR CANDIDATE IN THIS RACE,
00:09:10AND IT'S CONGRESSWOMAN ANGIE CRAIG.
00:09:13REP. CRAIG: I FLEETLY -- I COMPLETELY REJECT THAT.
00:09:16I ALSO HAVE THE SUPPORT OF MANY TRIBAL LEADERS FROM THE STATE OF
00:09:19MINNESOTA WHO HAVE SUPPORTED MY
00:09:22SENATE CAMPAIGN AS WELL, BECAUSE THEY BELIEVE THAT I AM THE
00:09:24STRONGEST DEMOCRAT TO HOLD THIS
00:09:26SEAT AGAINST WHAT APPEARS TO BE
00:09:29MICHELE TAFOYA.
00:09:31I BELIEVE WE SHOULD STRONGLY REGULATE THESE PREDICTION MARKETS.
00:09:35THE CFTC HAS BEEN CUT BY 15%
00:09:38UNDER THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION.
00:09:42IT HAS BEEN DEFUNDED. AND I DON'T BELIEVE THAT THE
00:09:45CFTC IS PREPARED TO REGULATE RIGHT NOW THESE PREDICTION MARKETS IN THE WAY THAT THEY
00:09:50SHOULD BE, AND I'M GOING TO BE FIGHTING FOR THAT.
00:09:53AND I THINK THAT JUST ILLUSTRATES, ONCE AGAIN, THE
00:09:57HYPOCRISY THAT CONTINUES TO COME
00:09:58FROM THE LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR ON
00:10:01CAMPAIGN FINANCE FUNDING WHEN, OF COURSE --
00:10:04>> I'M SURE WE'LL GET INTO THAT TODAY.
00:10:07JUST A QUICK YES OR NO, I NEED
00:10:10TO ASK, HAVE YOU EVER PLACED A
00:10:12BET OR VISITED ONE OF THESE PLATFORMS?
00:10:15REP. CRAIG: NO, I HAVE NEVER PLACED A PREDICTION MARKET BET.
00:10:18IN MY ROLE AS HEAD OF THE COMMITTEE, IT WOULD NOT BE
00:10:22APPROPRIATE IF I HADN'T LOOKED TO SEE WHAT'S HAPPENING ON THESE.
00:10:24WHAT'S HAPPENING ON THIS, IN MANY CASES AS IT RELATES TO
00:10:28POLITICS, GAMING, IT NEEDS TO BE STOPPED.
00:10:32>> PREDICTION MARKET BET ON ANYTHING? LT. GOV. FLANAGAN: I HAVE NEVER
00:10:35BET ON ANYTHING, ABSOLUTELY NOT. >> BECAUSE THIS IS A SIX-YEAR
00:10:38TERM THAT YOU'RE AFTER, THERE ARE PROJECTIONS OUT THERE THAT
00:10:41THE SOCIAL SECURITY TRUST FUND
00:10:42IS SCHEDULED TO RUN DRY IN 2032,
00:10:46SMACK DAB TOWARD THE TAIL END OF THIS TERM. THAT COULD LEAD TO CONSEQUENCES
00:10:49THAT TRUSTEES SAY COULD INCLUDE
00:10:52A SIGNIFICANT AND IMMEDIATE CUT TO OLD AGE AND SURVIVOR
00:10:55BENEFITS. WHAT WILL YOU DO TO SHORE UP THAT FUND, AND HOW WILL YOU CONVINCE REPUBLICANS TO WORK
00:10:59WITH YOU ON THAT SOLUTION?
00:11:04LT. GOV. FLANAGAN: I THINK WHAT HAS BEEN REALLY TROUBLING TO ME, AS I'VE BEEN TRAVELING ACROSS
00:11:08THE STATE AND HEARING DIRECTLY
00:11:10FROM FOLKS WHO ARE MY AGE AND
00:11:13YOUNGER, SO OFTEN PEOPLE SAY, WELL, SOCIAL SECURITY ISN'T
00:11:15GOING TO BE THERE FOR ME. YOU KNOW, I THINK NOT WITH THAT
00:11:19ATTITUDE IT'S NOT GOING TO BE. WE HAVE TO BE VERY CLEAR.
00:11:21THIS IS SOMETHING THAT PEOPLE HAVE EARNED, THAT THEY'VE PAID INTO.
00:11:24I DON'T THINK WE SHOULD BE TAXING SOCIAL SECURITY, AND I
00:11:27THINK IT'S TIME THAT WE PASSED THE SOCIAL SECURITY EXPANSION
00:11:31ACT TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS IS AVAILABLE FOR FOLKS INTO THE
00:11:35FUTURE.
00:11:36IT SHOULD NOT BE PRIVATIZED, AND
00:11:39WE CERTAINLY ARE IN A PLACE WHERE PEOPLE ARE STRUGGLING. THEY WORRY ABOUT HOW THEY'RE
00:11:43GOING TO PAY THEIR RENT. >> HOW DO YOU PLUG THAT GAP?
00:11:47LT. GOV. FLANAGAN: I THINK YOU PLUG THAT ACT BY PASSING THIS ACT AND MAKING SURE THIS IS
00:11:50SOLVENT INTO THE FUTURE. IT'S INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT.
00:11:54SOCIAL SECURITY IS NOT JUST FOR SENIORS.
00:11:57IT'S ALSO FOR PEOPLE WHO NEED IT FOR SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY.
00:12:01MY MOM UTILIZED THAT PROGRAM,
00:12:03AND IT WAS INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT FOR HER.
00:12:06I THINK WE'VE GOT AN OPPORTUNITY
00:12:09TO WORK WITH REPUBLICANS, BUT WE
00:12:11ALSO HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT PEOPLE ARE VERY CLEAR ABOUT WHAT
00:12:15THIS MEANS FOR THEM.
00:12:18SHARING THOSE STORIES, BUILDING STRONG SUPPORT OUTSIDE THE CAN'T
00:12:22TO GET THIS DONE, I THINK WE CAN GET THERE. >> CONGRESSMAN CRAIG, IS THERE A
00:12:25SOLUTION YOU FAVOR? REP. CRAIG: I'M ALREADY A
00:12:28COSPONSOR OF THE ACT, BUT I'VE ACTUALLY WRITTEN MY OWN BILL TO
00:12:31HELP US EXTEND THE LIFE OF SOCIAL SECURITY.
00:12:34MY BILL THAT I INTRODUCED THREE
00:12:36YEARS AGO WOULD EXTEND THE LIFE
00:12:40OF SOCIAL SECURITY FOR 34 YEARS, ACCORDING TO THE CONGRESSIONAL
00:12:43BUDGET OFFICE. IT WOULD ALSO ALLOW TODAY'S
00:12:47CURRENT SENIORS WHO ARE FACING
00:12:49SUCH A STRESS AND STRAIN ON COSTS TO STOP PAYING FEDERAL
00:12:53TAXES ON THEIR SOCIAL SECURITY INCOME.
00:12:56AND THE C.B.O. HAS ACTUALLY SCORED MY BILL AS OVER THE
00:12:59COURSE OF SEVERAL D.C. AIDS
00:13:02SAVING THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT $9 TRILLION.
00:13:05SO NOT ONLY DO I HAVE SUPPORT, MY GRANDMOTHER IS STILL WITH ME.
00:13:09I'M VERY LUCKY. SHE'S 99 YEARS OLD.
00:13:12AND SHE LIVES ON THAT SOCIAL SECURITY CHECK. SO IT'S A VERY PERSONAL ISSUE TO ME.
00:13:15>> WOULD YOU SUPPORT EITHER A HIGHER RETIREMENT AGE OR HIGHER
00:13:19PAYROLL TAXES TO FEED THE FUND? REP. CRAIG: NO, WE'VE GOT TO ELIMINATE THE CAP.
00:13:23WE'VE GOT TO MAKE PEOPLE WHO ARE
00:13:26FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO MAKE OVER
00:13:29$186,000 CONTINUE TO PAY INTO SOCIAL SECURITY. I DON'T THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE
00:13:32REALIZE THAT THE WEALTHY IN THIS COUNTRY, THE WEALTH GAP IN THIS
00:13:36COUNTRY IS KILLING US, AND PEOPLE KNOW THAT.
00:13:38BUT I DON'T THINK PEOPLE REALIZE THAT IF YOU'RE LUCKY ENOUGH TO
00:13:42MAKE A MILLION DOLLARS A YEAR,
00:13:44YOU STOP PAYING INTO SOCIAL
00:13:47SECURITY ON THE FIRST $186,000.
00:13:49>> LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR, DO YOU SUPPORT EITHER THE HIGHER
00:13:53RETIREMENT AGE OR HIGHER PAYROLL TAXES? LT. GOV. FLANAGAN: NO, I DON'T.
00:13:57I THINK THE FOLKS WHO ARE THE VERY TOP SHOULD PAY THEIR FAIR SHARE.
00:14:01>> YOU'RE IN AGREEMENT THERE. WE'RE NOW ABOUT FIVE MONTHS INTO A WAR WITH IRAN.
00:14:05CONGRESSMAN CRAIG, HOW SHOULD IT
00:14:09END? REP. CRAIG: I VOTED TO END THIS ILLEGAL AND ILL LEGITIMATE WAR
00:14:13TRUMP HAS PULLED US INTO, I
00:14:15BELIEVE FOUR POWER WAR POWERS RESOLUTION SO FAR.
00:14:19WEE GOT TO GET A TRUE CEASE-FIRE AGREEMENT IN PLACE, BUT THAT'S
00:14:22NOT GOING TO HAPPEN WITH THE RHETORIC AND THE ALTITUDE
00:14:26FROM -- ATTITUDE FROM PETE HEGSETH AND THIS ADMINISTRATION
00:14:29OF JUST BOMBING THE HELL OUT OF PEOPLE ALL THE TIME.
00:14:32YOU KNOW, THEY NEED TO SIT DOWN
00:14:35AND ACTUALLY FORCE IRAN TO COME
00:14:40TO THE TABLE. ALSO, IT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN
00:14:42BY GIVING IRAN $300 BILLION IN
00:14:48MONEY AND TAKING THE SANCTIONS OFF OF THEIR OIL.
00:14:52I BELIEVE THAT BENJAMIN NETANYAHU AND THE ISRAELI
00:14:55GOVERNMENT HAVE REALLY SCREWED
00:14:57UP FOREIGN POLICY ACROSS THIS COUNTRY.
00:15:01MY BIGGEST HOPE FOR THE IRAN WAR
00:15:03IS THAT BENJAMIN NETANYAHU LOSES
00:15:06HIS ELECTION THIS FALL. AND DONALD TRUMP NEEDS TO GET
00:15:09OUT OF THIS WAR.
00:15:11>> LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR FLANAGAN, WHAT'S YOUR SOLUTION TO GETTING OUT OF THIS WAR?
00:15:15LT. GOV. FLANAGAN: I'D SAY WE HAVE TO ACKNOWLEDGE WHERE WE'RE AT.
00:15:18THERE'S BEEN $32 BILLION SPENT
00:15:22SO FAR, AND WE RECENTLY HEARD
00:15:24THAT THEY'RE LOW ON MUNITIONS.
00:15:26THAT IS INCREDIBLY TROUBLING TO
00:15:29ME, AND I THINK TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WHO NOW POTENTIALLY ARE
00:15:33AT RISK IF THERE'S ANOTHER CRISIS.
00:15:36I'D ALSO SAY, YOU KNOW, THIS
00:15:39ATTITUDE OF ESSENTIALLY TAKING
00:15:41US INTO AN ILLEGAL WAR AT A WHIM
00:15:45OR SIMPLY AT THE MOOD OF THE
00:15:48PRESIDENT, YOU KNOW, THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ IS OPEN, THE STRAIT OF
00:15:51HORMUZ IS CLOSED, AND, YOU KNOW,
00:15:54WITH A LACK OF DIPLOMACY, REAL
00:16:00NEGOTIATIONS, WHAT THAT HAS ALSO MEANT IS THAT 18 SERVICE MEN AND
00:16:03WOMEN HAVE LOST THEIR LIVES, INCLUDING ONE MINNESOTAN.
00:16:06I THINK THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF WHERE IT IS INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT
00:16:09THAT WE TAKE BACK THE HOUSE AND WE TAKE BACK --
00:16:12>> ARE THERE ANY CIRCUMSTANCES IN WHICH YOU COULD SUPPORT MORE
00:16:16FUNDING FOR THIS WAR? LT. GOV. FLANAGAN: I THINK THERE
00:16:19HAS TO BE A PLAN.
00:16:21RIGHT NOW, THERE ISN'T ONE.
00:16:24WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT THIS WAR SO FAR IS THAT, YOU KNOW, THEY
00:16:28SPEND $32 BILLION, AND COSTS FOR AMERICANS KEEP GOING UP.
00:16:32SO THE HIGH PRICE OF GAS,
00:16:36GROCERIES. DONALD TRUMP IS NOT THINKING AT
00:16:37ALL ABOUT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
00:16:40HIS ACTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES, NOT JUST IN THE MIDDLE EAST, BUT RIGHT HERE AT HOME.
00:16:44>> WHAT ABOUT YOU? REP. CRAIG: THERE'S NO CIRCUMSTANCES I WOULD SUPPORT MORE FUNDING FOR THIS WAR,
00:16:48BRIAN. DONALD TRUMP GOT US INTO A WAR
00:16:50WITH ABSOLUTELY NO STRATEGIC
00:16:52PLAN WHATSOEVER.
00:16:55IT HAS COST AMERICAN LIVES, AND
00:16:58THIS ADMINISTRATION DOESN'T HAVE A STRATEGIC PLAN FOR GETTING OUT
00:17:01OF IT. THE PROPOSALS THAT THEY PUT
00:17:04FORWARD I BELIEVE WOULD ONLY MAKE THE SITUATION IN THE MIDDLE
00:17:07EAST WORSE. I'M ADAMANTLY OPPOSED TO THIS
00:17:11WAR. >> YOU BROUGHT UP THE ISRAELI PRIME MINISTER. DO YOU SUPPORT HALTING ARM SALES
00:17:16TO ISRAEL? REP. CRAIG: I THINK WE HAVE TO HAVE A COMPLETE LOOK AT THE
00:17:19SECURITY ASSISTANCE THAT WE PROVIDE TO THE STATE OF ISRAEL
00:17:22IN THE FUTURE. WHAT HAPPENED IN GAZA, THERE
00:17:25WERE WAY TOO MANY CIVILIAN LIVES THAT WERE COST.
00:17:28WHAT'S HAPPENING RIGHT NOW IN
00:17:30THE WEST BANK WITH ISRAELI
00:17:33SETTLERS IS COMPLETELY INAPPROPRIATE.
00:17:35THE WAR WITH IRAN IS COMPLETELY INAPPROPRIATE.
00:17:39AND LOOK, I THINK THAT THE ONLY WAY WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A RESET
00:17:43OF FOREIGN POLICY WITH ISRAEL AT
00:17:44THIS MOMENT IN TIME IS ACTUALLY
00:17:50LOOKING AT THE RELATIONSHIP WE HAD WITH THE PRIME MINISTER, AND I DON'T BELIEVE WE CAN RECOVER
00:17:54THIS RELATIONSHIP WITH THIS PRIME MINISTER.
00:17:55WE NEED A NEW ONE.
00:17:59>> ARMS SALES TO ISRAEL? LT. GOV. FLANAGAN: I THINK IT'S INTERESTING.
00:18:03YOU JUST ASKED HER IF SHE SUPPORT ARM SALES.
00:18:06SHE DIDN'T NECESSARILY ANSWER THE QUESTION, AND I THINK HER VOTE LAST WEEK SPEAKS FOR
00:18:10ITSELF. SHE VOTED FOR AN ADDITIONAL $3.3 BILLION TO BE SENT TO BENJAMIN NETANYAHU.
00:18:13IT WAS THE ONLY MINNESOTA
00:18:16DEMOCRAT TO DO SO. CONGRESSWOMAN CRAIG HAS A TRACK
00:18:20RECORD OF SUPPORTING BENJAMIN NETANYAHU AND HIS AGENDA.
00:18:23SHE AGAIN WAS THE ONLY MINNESOTA
00:18:26DEMOCRAT TO SEND 2,000-POUND
00:18:30BOMBS TO NETANYAHU AND HAS HAD
00:18:33AN INCREDIBLE AMOUNT OF SUPPORT FROM AIPAC.
00:18:36THEY'VE BEEN HER BIGGEST FUNDER
00:18:39THROUGHOUT HER ENTIRE POLITICAL CAREER. MY VALUES DO NOT ALIGN WITH
00:18:43AIPAC. I'M NOT TAKING THEIR MONEY, AND I THINK THAT THIS MATTERS WHEN
00:18:46IT COMES TO HOW WEN GAUGE IN FOREIGN POLICY.
00:18:49>> I'M GOING TO LET YOU
00:18:51RESPONSIBILITY, BUT TACK ONE ON
00:18:54AS WELL.
00:18:58SHE'S CALLED THIS A GENOCIDE IN GAZA. IS IT? REP. CRAIG: I DON'T THINK THE
00:19:01TERMINOLOGY IS HELPFUL TO BRINGING US TO A TWO-STATE SOLUTION.
00:19:04I THINK THAT THE LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR BROUGHT UP THE VOTE
00:19:07FROM JUST LAST WEEK, THAT WAS AN
00:19:11AMENDMENT OFFERED BY A REPUBLICAN TO STRIP ALL FUNDING,
00:19:14INCLUDING HUMANITARIAN ASSISTANCE FROM THE PEOPLE IN
00:19:18GAZA. I ACTUALLY THINK WE NEED TO FUND
00:19:21THE REBUILDING OF GAZA IN A VERY DRAMATIC WAY.
00:19:25I ALSO THINK THAT, YOU KNOW, AS
00:19:27I'VE SAID, JUST A MOMENT AGO, WE
00:19:29HAVE TO RETHINK OUR STRATEGIC FOREIGN POLICY WITH THE STATE OF
00:19:33ISRAEL. AND RIGHT NOW WITH BENJAMIN
00:19:36NETANYAHU, I THINK THAT'S GOING TO BE VERY DIFFICULT TO DO.
00:19:40>> LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR FLANAGAN, WE'RE GOING TO STAY WITH THE MIDDLE EAST.
00:19:43WE LEARNED LAST WEEK THE TRUMP
00:19:44ADMINISTRATION IS EXPLORING A
00:19:48NUCLEAR DEVELOPMENT DEAL WITH SAUDI ARABIA. ARE YOU ON BOARD WITH THAT? LT. GOV. FLANAGAN: I AM NOT.
00:19:51BUT IF I CAN COME BACK TO THE LAST QUESTION.
00:19:53I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE, OF COURSE, WHAT
00:19:57HAPPENED ON OCTOBER 7 WAS HORRIFIC.
00:20:01HAMAS IS A TERRORIST ORGANIZATION.
00:20:04>> WE'LL LEAVE THIS HERE TO TAKE YOU LIVE TO THE WHITE HOUSE FOR
00:20:07AN EVENT WITH PRESIDENT TRUMP.
00:20:08THIS IS LIVE COVERAGE.
00:20:16>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
00:20:19THIS IS SOMETHING VERY IMPORTANT
00:20:21FOR ALL OF US.
00:20:25IT'S A VACCINE E.O. I'M DELIGHTED TO BE HERE IN THE
00:20:29OVAL OFFICE AS OUR ADMINISTRATION TAKES ANOTHER
00:20:31HISTORIC STEP IN OUR MISSION TO
00:20:33MAKE AMERICA HEALTHY AGAIN.
00:20:36TODAY WE'RE PROUD TO OFFICIALLY ANNOUNCE THE UNITED STATES OF
00:20:40AMERICA'S GOLD STANDARD CHILDHOOD VACCINATION
00:20:43RECOMMENDATIONS, THAT HAS TO DO WITH MANY SUBJECTS, BUT
00:20:46INCLUDING AUTISM IN PARTICULAR,
00:20:49I WANT TO THANK THE MAN WHO HAS DONE MORE THAN PERHAPS ANYONE
00:20:52ELSE TO BRING ABOUT THIS REAL
00:20:55REVOLUTION, SECRETARY OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES, ROBERT F.
00:20:59KENNEDY JR., MY FRIEND AND DOING A FANTASTIC JOB.
00:21:03I'M PROUD OF YOU.
00:21:07STRONG GUY, BY THE WAY.
00:21:08THANKS AS WELL TO DIRECTOR OF
00:21:12THE N.I.H. DEPUTY ASSISTANT TO THE
00:21:15PRESIDENT OF DOMESTIC POLICY, DR. HEIDI OVERTON.
00:21:18OUR MAHA MOMS, INCLUDING JAMIE
00:21:22FRANKLIN, WHO'S WITH US TODAY,
00:21:24VERY SPECIAL PERSON.
00:21:26AND ALSO THE MEDICAL EXPERTS AND PROFESSIONALS WHO HAVE WORKED
00:21:30VERY HARD ON GETTING THIS DAY TO
00:21:34COME. FOR LONG, FAR TOO LONG, A LONG
00:21:37PERIOD OF TIME, AMERICA'S RECOMMENDED MORE CHILDHOOD
00:21:40VACCINATIONS THAN ANY PEER NATION AND TWICE AS MANY DOSES
00:21:44AS SOME EUROPEAN COUNTRIES, AND EVEN MORE THAN THAT IN MANY
00:21:48CASES WE WERE REQUIRED 72 JABS
00:21:51FOR OUR BEAUTIFUL, HEALTHY,
00:21:55LOVELY, DELICATE LITTLE CHILDREN, INCLUDING GIVING THE
00:21:58HEPATITIS B SHOT TO INFANTS AND
00:22:00NEWBORNS ON TOP OF MANY OTHER
00:22:04VACCINATIONS. HEPATITIS B SHOULDN'T BE GIVEN
00:22:06UNTIL THEY ARE 14 OR 15 YEARS OLD. THEY WERE GIVEN IT EARLY.
00:22:10EFFECTIVE MEDIALLY, MY ADMINISTRATION IS RECOGNIZING
00:22:12GOLD STANDARD CHILDHOOD VACCINATION RECOMMENDATIONS FOR
00:22:16ONLY 11 CORE VACCINATIONS
00:22:19AGAINST THE MOST SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS DISEASES ALONG WITH
00:22:23THE MMR, WHICH HOPEFULLY WILL BE SPLIT UP.
00:22:25YOU HAVE THE MMR, WE WANT IT IN
00:22:28THREE SEPARATE VACCINATIONS,
00:22:30GIVEN AT SEPARATE TIMES. TOGETHER THEY COULD BE A
00:22:34POSSIBILITY THAT THEY'RE QUITE LETHAL.
00:22:36AND SEPARATELY, IT LOOKS LIKE THEY ARE NOT AT ALL LETHAL, BUT
00:22:40JUST VERY EFFECTIVE. SO THE MMR WE WANT TO HAVE SEPARATE.
00:22:43SEPARATE VISITS. SEPARATE TIMES.
00:22:47THE VACCINE BEING BROKEN INTO THREE SEPARATE DOSES AND BEING
00:22:50ADMINISTERED IN SEPARATE VISITS,
00:22:52FOR EXAMPLE, AT 1 YEAR, YOU
00:22:55SHOULD HAVE FIVE SEPARATE VISITS
00:22:59FOR VACCINES RATHER THAN GETTING THEM ALL IN THE SAME DAY. AND I SAW THIS EARLY ON, AND
00:23:02I'VE SEEN PROOF OF IT.
00:23:04WE HAVE A VACCINE, IT LOOKS LIKE
00:23:06THE SIZE OF A BOTTLE OF SODA
00:23:09POURED INTO A LITTLE CHILD'S
00:23:11BODY. AND BAD THINGS HAPPEN IN MANY
00:23:15CASES, TOO MANY CASES, BECAUSE THIS IS AN EXPLOSION.
00:23:18THIS IS AN EPIDEMIC. SO YEAR ONE, YOU SHOULD HAVE
00:23:21FIVE SEPARATE VISITS FOR VACCINES RATHER THAN GIVING THEM
00:23:25ALL IN THE SAME DAY.
00:23:26VERY IMPORTANTLY, VACCINES FOR
00:23:29HEPATITIS B, COVID-19, AND INFLUENZA AMONG OTHERS ARE NO
00:23:34LONGER RECOMMENDED FOR ALL CHILDREN.
00:23:36IN ADDITION, THIS EXECUTIVE ORDER DIRECTS THE ATTORNEY GENERAL TO ADVANCE LEGAL
00:23:40CHALLENGES AGAINST STATES THAT
00:23:42VIOLATE CHILDREN'S RIGHTS TO
00:23:44RELIGIOUS OR MEDICAL
00:23:46VACCINATIONS EXEMPTIONS, FOR THE EXEMPTIONS.
00:23:49OTHER COUNTRIES WITH HIGH VACCINATION RATES WITHOUT
00:23:53MANDATES FOR SCHOOL, WHAT WE DO,
00:23:55YOU KNOW, OTHER COUNTRIES HAVE
00:23:59VERY HIGH VACCINATION RATES, AND
00:24:02THEY HAVE NOT HAD, AND THEY
00:24:04DON'T HAVE, WITHOUT MANDATES FOR
00:24:07SCHOOL, PARENTS CAN STILL CHOOSE TO GIVE THEIR CHILDREN ALL OF
00:24:09THE VACCINATIONS IF THEY WISH.
00:24:12IT'S UP TO THE PARENTS WHO ARE
00:24:14MAKING RECOMMENDATIONS, AND IT'S STRONG, BUT UP TO THE PARENTS.
00:24:18IF THEY WISH, THEY WILL BE COVERED BY INSURANCE. HOWEVER, THIS UPDATED
00:24:21RECOMMENDATION FINALLY ALIGNS THE UNITED STATES WITH OTHER
00:24:24ADVANCED AND DEVELOPED NATIONS AROUND THE WORLD.
00:24:26MORE IMPORTANTLY, IT ALLIANZ US WITH -- ALIGNS US WITH COMMON
00:24:30SENSE AND KNOWLEDGE. DECADES AGO, CHILDREN RECEIVED
00:24:33ONLY A SMALL FRACTION OF THE
00:24:38VACCINES. PEOPLE WERE MUCH HEALTHIER AND,
00:24:39OF COURSE, THE HIGH RATES OF
00:24:43AUTISM MOW OBSERVED DID NOT EXIST.
00:24:45SO THERE'S A REASON FOR SUCH
00:24:47EPIDEMIC RATES OF AUTISM. AND WE'RE GOING TO BRING IT BACK
00:24:52TO MUCH CLOSER TO WHERE IT WAS.
00:24:57WHILE WE DO NOT KNOW -- IT IS
00:25:03ESSENTIAL WE HAVE THE VERY BEST VACCINE RECOMMENDATIONS IN THE
00:25:06ENTIRE WORLD SO WE ARE REDUCING
00:25:09THEM, CHANGING IT TO VISITS OVER A PERIOD OF A YEAR, YEAR AND A
00:25:11HALF SO THEY GET 20% OF WHAT
00:25:15THEY WOULD HAVE GOTTEN IN ONE
00:25:16BIG SHOT, A BIG SHOT LIKE THE
00:25:19SIZE OF A LARGE GLASS OF SOMETHING. THIS ANNOUNCEMENT IS A MAJOR
00:25:23VICTORY FOR PARENTS RIGHTS, RELIGIOUS AND CONSTITUTIONAL
00:25:26RIGHTS, AND FOR SCIENCE AND WE
00:25:30WILL CONTINUE TO DO THE RESEARCH AND UP TO THE RECOMMENDATIONS AS WE LEARN MORE. I THINK YOU ARE GOING TO SEE
00:25:35SOME AMAZING RESULTS, BREAKING IT OUT.
00:25:39IT'S NOT ONLY THAT YOU ARE DOING
00:25:40FEWER VACCINES BUT YOU ARE DOING
00:25:46THEM WITH SERIOUS VISITS TO THE DOCTOR.
00:25:49MUCH SMALLER AMOUNTS. TO ENSURE AMERICANS BENEFIT FROM
00:25:54THESE RECOMMENDATIONS, MY ADMINISTRATION IS COMMITTED TO USING EVERY TOOL AT OUR DISPOSAL
00:25:58INCLUDING A REVIEW OF POTENTIAL FUNDING AND FINDING.
00:26:02WE ARE DOING FUNDING AND FINDINGS AND THE FINDINGS WILL
00:26:06BE ANNOUNCED ALMOST IMMEDIATELY
00:26:07AS WE GAIN SOME STRONG SECURITY
00:26:11SO I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE BOBBY
00:26:12SAY A FEW WORDS.
00:26:17I WILL SIGN THE EXECUTIVE ORDER WHICH I AM VERY EXCITED ABOUT.
00:26:21I WANT TO FIND WHAT IS GOING ON WITH AUTISM.
00:26:25IT'S MANY, MANY TIMES WHAT IT USED TO BE YEARS AGO AND HE GETS PROGRESSIVELY WORSE.
00:26:31WE HAVE PROGRESSIVELY MORE AND MORE VACCINE SO IN A NUTSHELL,
00:26:34YOU CAN SEE IT THROUGH THIS.
00:26:38WE ARE BREAKING OUT THE VACCINES. WE ARE BREAKING THEM UP IN TWO TIME PERIODS.
00:26:43NOT SO COMPLICATED.
00:26:46WE THINK WE ARE GOING TO HAVE A TREMENDOUS RESULT FROM DOING THAT.
00:26:52VERY SIMPLY, LARGE AMOUNTS OF
00:26:55VACCINES, LARGE AMOUNTS OF FATS AND VACCINE ARE CURRENTLY PUMPED
00:27:00INTO YOUR CHILD'S BODY AND WE
00:27:04ARE DOING 20% OF THAT AT EACH VISIT AND THAT TIME ELAPSED
00:27:09BETWEEN VISITS SO THAT BIDEN CAN
00:27:11HANDLE THIS MASSIVE AMOUNT OF FLUID BEING PUMPED IN.
00:27:17THERE ARE SOME GROUPS THAT HAVE
00:27:20VIRTUALLY NO PROBLEM WITH AUTISM
00:27:24AND I HAVE TO SAY THIS.
00:27:27THERE ARE GROUPS -- THAT IS
00:27:30SOMETHING WRONG. WE SEE RECORD NUMBERS ALL THE
00:27:34TIME. EVERY YEAR FOR YEARS AND YEARS, EVERY YEAR GETS HIGHER AND
00:27:38HIGHER AND HIGHER AUTISM AND WE
00:27:43THINK WE HAVE A VERY GOOD RECOMMENDATION AND A LOT OF GOOD
00:27:47THINGS ARE HAPPENING. WE WILL BE RELEASING VERY
00:27:50DETAILED -- HERE'S ANOTHER ONE. EUROPEAN COUNTRIES VERSUS THE UNITED STATES.
00:27:56THESE ARE HIGH-LEVEL, MEDICALLY
00:28:02POWERFUL EUROPEAN COUNTRIES.
00:28:07THAT LITTLE CHART SAYS A LOT BUT THAT IS THE DIFFERENCE.
00:28:11I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE BOBBY SAY A
00:28:12FEW WORDS AND THEN WE WILL GO TO THE OTHERS. PLEASE.
00:28:18>> THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT. I WANT TO START BY REINFORCING
00:28:21SOMETHING THAT THE PRESIDENT HAS SAID WHICH IS THE SOURCE OF HIS
00:28:24CONCERN ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND I WILL JUST GIVE AN EXAMPLE.
00:28:29IN 1970, THE BIGGEST STUDY AT
00:28:33THAT TIME IN HISTORY WAS --
00:28:38UNIVERSITY SCIENTISTS FROM ACROSS THE COUNTRY LOOKED AT ALL THE EIGHT-YEAR-OLDS IN WISCONSIN.
00:28:42900,000 CHILDREN AND THEY WERE
00:28:46LOOKING FOR AUTISM AND THEY KNEW WHAT AUTISM LOOKS LIKE AND THEY
00:28:48CAME BACK WITH AN INCIDENT RATE
00:28:53OF .8 PER 10,000. SO -- 10,000.
00:28:58THE RATE ACCORDING TO CDC TODAY
00:29:00IN THIS COUNTRY IS ONE IN EVERY 31 CHILDREN.
00:29:05IN CALIFORNIA, IT'S ONE IN EVERY
00:29:0719 CHILDREN AND 12.5 BOYS.
00:29:10THERE HAS BEEN A DRAMATIC INCREASE. ONE OF THE THINGS THE INDUSTRY
00:29:14LIKES TO SAY, THE TALKING POINTS
00:29:18WHICH THE PRESS LEFT TO PAY RATE IS WE ARE JUST NOTICING IT MORE.
00:29:23THIS IS AN ABSURDITY AND AN
00:29:26ASSERTION THAT HAS BEEN DEBUNKED AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN BY
00:29:30PEER-REVIEWED LITERATURE AND
00:29:34COMMON SENSE BECAUSE IF WE WERE JUST NOTICING IT MORE, WE WOULD
00:29:36NOTICE IT IN OLDER GROUPS BUT WE ARE NOT.
00:29:39WE ARE ONLY NOTICING IT IN KIDS
00:29:42WHO WERE BORN AROUND 1989 OR AFTER.
00:29:48THE OLDER GENERATIONS ARE NOT SEEING THOSE INCREASES SO
00:29:50SOMETHING HAPPENED IN THE
00:29:56MID-1990'S THAT CHANGED OUR CHILDREN AND IT HAS TO BE AN
00:29:59ENVIRONMENTAL EXPOSURE BECAUSE
00:30:02GENES DO NOT CAUSE EPIDEMICS. IT CAN PROVIDE A VULNERABILITY
00:30:06BUT YOU NEED AN ENVIRONMENTAL
00:30:07TOXIN AND WHAT THE PRESIDENT HAS
00:30:10CHARGED US WITH IS FINDING WHICH
00:30:15ONE OF THOSE EXPOSURES OR WHICH COLLECTION OF EXPOSURES ARE
00:30:19CAUSING THIS EPIDEMIC. FOR DECADES, I FOUGHT FOR A
00:30:22SIMPLE PRINCIPLE. WHEN IT COMES TO THE HEALTH OF
00:30:26OUR CHILDREN, THE GOVERNMENT HAS AN OBLIGATION TO FOLLOW THE
00:30:28EVIDENCE WHEREVER IT LEADS. TELL THE AMERICAN PEOPLE THE
00:30:33TRUTH AND GIVE PARENTS THE INFORMATION THEY NEED TO MAKE INFORMED DECISIONS FOR THEIR
00:30:38FAMILIES. MR. PRESIDENT, YOU GAVE US A MANDATE TO DO JUST THAT.
00:30:45YOU DIRECTED HHS TO EXAMINE AMERICA'S CHILDHOOD VACCINE
00:30:49RECOMMENDATIONS AGAINST THE BEST AVAILABLE SCIENCE AND THE
00:30:53PRACTICES OF OTHER DEVELOPED NATIONS.
00:30:55WE DID THAT WORK ON JANUARY FIFTH.
00:30:59HHS AND CDC OVERHAULED THE CHILDHOOD IMMUNIZATION SCHEDULE
00:31:03REDUCING THE NUMBER OF DISEASES UNIVERSALLY RECOMMENDED FOR
00:31:07VACCINES FROM 17 TO 11 AND
00:31:11ESTABLISHING DISTINCT CATEGORIES FOR RECOMMENDATIONS BASED UPON
00:31:13THE SIGNS OF THE EVIDENCE HE HAD
00:31:16OUR ASSESSMENT FOUND THE UNITED STATES RECOMMENDED MORE
00:31:18CHILDHOOD VACCINES THAN ANY
00:31:20OTHER PEER NATION.
00:31:25AS TRUMP IS MENTIONED, 72 JABS BEFORE THE ACTION.
00:31:30NOBODY ELSE HAS ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
00:31:35IN MOST OTHER COUNTRIES, ACHIEVE
00:31:36HIGH VACCINATION RATES THROUGH
00:31:41EDUCATION, INFORMED CONSENT AND PUBLIC TRUST RATHER THAN --
00:31:44TODAY WITH THIS EXECUTIVE ORDER, YOU ARE BUILDING ON THAT WORK
00:31:48AND ACTING ON IT. WE WILL PRESERVE ACCESS TO
00:31:52VACCINES TO EXPAND RESEARCH,
00:31:55GIVE DOCTORS AND PARENTS BETTER
00:31:57INFORMATION TO RESTORE INFORMED
00:32:00CONSENT AND TORRENTIAL CHOICE TO
00:32:04THE RIGHTFUL PLACE IN AMERICAN MEDICINE. AT HHS, WE ARE ALREADY MOVING
00:32:07ACROSS MULTIPLE AGENCIES, FDA,
00:32:12CDC, NIH, ARBAT, THE NATIONAL
00:32:15TOXICITY PROGRAM AND OTHER PARTS OF THE DEPARTMENT, WE HAVE
00:32:18ALREADY LAUNCHED AN
00:32:22UNPRECEDENTED RESEARCH EFFORT EXAMINING VACCINE SAFETY AND
00:32:25LONG-TERM HEALTH OUTCOMES IN AMERICAN CHILDREN. WE ARE PUTTING SOME OF THE LARGEST HEALTH DATA SETS IN THE
00:32:30COUNTRY TO WORK INCLUDING THE
00:32:32CDC IS VACCINE SAFETY DATALINK,
00:32:35FTA'S BEST SYSTEMS AND OTHER MAJOR FEDERAL AND PRIVATE HEALTH DATA SOURCES.
00:32:39WE ARE PURSUING DOZENS OF STUDIES AND ANALYSES.
00:32:42WE ARE COMPARING HEALTH OUTCOMES
00:32:47IN VACCINATED VERSUS UNVACCINATED CHILDREN.
00:32:49WE ARE EXAMINING THE TIMING OF
00:32:51THE HEPATITIS B VACCINE
00:32:53ADMINISTERED DURING PREGNANCY
00:32:57AND OUTCOMES RACING FROM
00:32:59ALLERGIES TO AUTOIMMUNE DISEASE TO AUTISM AND OTHER
00:33:02NEURODEVELOPMENTAL DISORDERS.
00:33:06THE NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF ALLERGY AND INFECTIOUS DISEASES IS THE NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF
00:33:09ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH SCIENCES ARE WORKING WITH NATIONAL
00:33:13TOXICITY PROGRAM ON A
00:33:16COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW OF INGREDIENTS THAT ARE ADDED TO
00:33:21VACCINES THAT AMPLIFY THE BODY IT'S IMMUNE RESPONSE.
00:33:27I WILL DETERMINE WHAT THE EXISTING SCIENCE ESTABLISHES AND
00:33:30WHERE UNCERTAINTY REMAINS AND WHERE WE NEED ADDITIONAL RESEARCH.
00:33:35WE ARE BRINGING THAT SAME DETERMINATION TO AUTISM.
00:33:38NIH LAUNCHED IT WITH 13
00:33:44RESEARCH AWARDS, EXAMINING
00:33:45AUTISM, PREVALENCE, CAUSES,
00:33:49TREATMENTS, AND SERVICES.
00:33:55DR. TURO WILL DISCUSS THAT WORK IN GREATER DETAIL.
00:33:56NEXT MONTH, THEY ARE PREPARING A
00:34:01MAJOR INITIATIVE FOCUSED ON
00:34:04FOUNDATIONAL CLASSES AND BIOLOGY OF AUTISM AND BETTER DIAGNOSTICS, TREATMENTS,
00:34:09TECHNOLOGIES FOR PEOPLE WITH AUTISM AND THEIR FAMILIES.
00:34:13WE WILL EXAMINE EVERY BIOLOGICALLY PLAUSIBLE
00:34:16HYPOTHESIS AND LEAVE NO LEGITIMATE SCIENTIFIC QUESTIONS.
00:34:21MR. PRESIDENT, YOU TOLD US YOU WANT ANSWERS AND SO DO I.
00:34:27WE HAVE FINISHED THE WORK AND I KNOW YOU ARE INPATIENT AND WE
00:34:31ARE MOVING WITH THE URGENCY THAT
00:34:35THE DEADLINE DEMANDS. WE WILL BRING YOU ACTIONS AND FINDINGS AS SUNAK THEY ARE READY.
00:34:44AS YOU DIRECTED, WE WILL DELIVER THE FULL RESPONSE REQUIRED BY
00:34:48THIS EXECUTIVE ORDER.
00:34:50OUR TASK FORCE ON SAFER
00:34:53CHILDHOOD VACCINES WAS
00:34:54ESTABLISHED BY CONGRESS IN 1986
00:34:58WENT -- OR WENT DORMANT IN 1998. LAST YEAR AFTER NEARLY THREE
00:35:01DECADES, THIS ADMINISTRATION
00:35:04REINSTATED IT IS -- YET IT WAS
00:35:08DISCONTINUED.
00:35:12YOU RESTORED THAT CONGRESSIONAL MANDATE. THE TASK FORCE IS ALREADY
00:35:16WORKING TO BAN VACCINE OPTIONS TO EXAMINE THE TIMING AND
00:35:20SEQUENCING OF STRENGTH AND SAFETY MONITORING, ADVANCED
00:35:24RESEARCH INTO -- CONTINUOUS
00:35:28EVALUATE RISK AND BENEFITS USING
00:35:31AMERICAN AND INTERNATIONAL EVIDENCE. TAKEN TOGETHER, THIS IS WHAT GOLD STANDARD SCIENCE MEANS.
00:35:40NO INSTITUTIONAL TABOOS. NO SACRED COWS.
00:35:42NO HIDING UNCERTAINTY.
00:35:47TEST THE HYPOTHESIS, EXAMINE THE DATA, REPLICATE THE RESULTS,
00:35:50TELL THE PUBLIC WHAT WE FIND AND BE HONEST.
00:35:54THIS IS THE STANDARD YOU SET FOR THIS ADMINISTRATION AND THE
00:35:58STANDARD I INTEND TO ENFORCE.
00:36:01MR. PRESIDENT, YOU ASKED US TO GET THIS DONE AND WE ARE GETTING IT DONE AND WE WILL KEEP WORKING
00:36:05WITH URGENCY UNTIL AMERICANS CAN
00:36:09HAVE CONFIDENCE ON THE MEDICAL ADVICE THEIR GOVERNMENT GIVES THEM.
00:36:13THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
00:36:15PRES. TRUMP: THANK YOU, BOBBY.
00:36:20>> TODAY IS AN HISTORIC DAY FOR PUBLIC HEALTH.
00:36:23THE EXECUTIVE ORDER RECOGNIZES
00:36:27THE PLIGHT OF MILLIONS OF AMERICANS ACROSS THE COUNTRY WITH AUTISTIC CHILDREN.
00:36:31AUTISM IS A COMPLICATED
00:36:33CONDITION WHICH IS VERY
00:36:37HETEROGENEOUS, RANGING FROM RELATIVELY MILD SYSTEMS --
00:36:40SYMPTOMS WHERE KIDS ARE JUST
00:36:43FULL FUNCTIONING TO A DEVASTATING CONDITION THAT
00:36:45FUNDAMENTALLY ALTERS THEIR LIVES ON THE LIVES OF THEIR FAMILIES.
00:36:51I HEARD FROM THE PRESIDENT THEIR PASSION FOR THE PLIGHT OF THESE
00:36:55FAMILIES TO SEE HOW WE CAN HELP
00:36:57THEM UNDERSTAND THEIR CONDITION,
00:37:01TO PREVENT THIS CONDITION FROM HAPPENING IN THE FIRST PLACE AND WHAT THIS EXECUTIVE ORDER DOES
00:37:05IS IT ORDERS US AT HHS TO TAKE
00:37:08THIS EXTREMELY SERIOUSLY AS WE HAVE BEEN FOR THE LAST YEAR AND A HALF AND MORE OF THE PRESIDENCY.
00:37:14AT THE NIH, WHAT WE HAVE DONE IS
00:37:17WE HAVE ESTABLISHED THE AUTISM
00:37:21DATA SCIENCE INITIATIVE WHICH STARTED MORE THAN ONE YEAR AGO
00:37:24WHERE WE FUNDED A DOZEN AND MORE
00:37:29MAJOR RESEARCH TEAMS TO ANSWER THE QUESTION OF WHAT IS THE CAUSE OF AUTISM.
00:37:33IT IS A COMPLICATED BIOLOGICAL PHENOMENON AND IT'S NOT GOING TO BE A SIMPLE ANSWER.
00:37:38AS THE SECRETARY SAID, POTENTIALLY GENETIC
00:37:42PREDISPOSITION BUT I CANNOT EXPLAIN WHY WE HAVE SEEN SUCH A
00:37:45LARGE -- THERE MUST BE SOME OTHER FACTORS INVOLVED AND THAT
00:37:48IS THE BASIS FOR THINKING THAT
00:37:51IS DRIVING THESE DOZEN AND MORE RESEARCH TEAMS THAT ARE LOOKING AT THIS.
00:37:57SCIENCE TAKES TIME. VERY FRUSTRATING. I KNOW I FELT THAT FRUSTRATION
00:38:01MYSELF AS A SCIENTIST. YOU DON'T GET ANSWERS
00:38:03IMMEDIATELY BUT THE TEAMS HAVE BEEN WORKING ASSIDUOUSLY FOR A YEAR.
00:38:08THE MAIN THING I WANT TO EMPHASIZE THAT WE HAVE ALREADY
00:38:12ACCOMPLISHED IS WE HAVE CHANGED HOW PEOPLE IN THE SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY THINKS ABOUT AUTISM.
00:38:17YOU HAVE GIVEN THEM PERMISSION TO ASK THE QUESTION THAT WOULD
00:38:20BE DIFFICULT TO ANSWER WHERE IF
00:38:25YOU COME TO AN ANSWER THAT LINK AUTISM TO SOME OTHER POLITICALLY
00:38:27CORRECT THINGS AND ALL OF A SUDDEN HAVE THIS LINK, AS A
00:38:31SCIENTIST, YOU FEAR YOUR CAREER IS GOING TO BE OVER.
00:38:35WHAT WE HAVE DONE IN THIS ADMINISTRATION IS WE HAVE GIVEN
00:38:39PERMISSION TO SCIENTISTS TO FIND THE LINK FOR THE FIRST TIME AND
00:38:41WITH THE CHANGE IN THE VACCINE RECOMMENDATIONS THAT THE
00:38:45PRESIDENT HAS SIGNED, WOULD YOU
00:38:47HAVE GIVEN HIS PARENTS A CHOICE?
00:38:50AUTONOMY AND DECISION-MAKING OVER HOW THEY WANT TO VACCINES GIVEN TO THEIR KIDS.
00:38:54I BELIEVE FUNDAMENTALLY THAT MANY VACCINES ARE IMPORTANT.
00:38:58I SAID MEASLES. THE MEASLES VACCINE IS IMPORTANT IF WE WANTED TO TAKE CONTROL OF
00:39:02THE MEASLES OUTBREAK. AT THE SAME TIME, WE SHOULD NOT BE KEEPING KIDS OUT OF SCHOOL
00:39:06BECAUSE THEY MADE DIFFERENT DECISIONS AND OTHER PARENTS. OUR EUROPEAN COLLEAGUES DO NOT
00:39:10DO THAT.
00:39:12A LOT OF THE COLLAPSE IN TRUST
00:39:16IN PUBLIC HEALTH HAS COME BECAUSE OF THESE MANDATES THAT
00:39:17WE HAVE SEEN IMPOSED DURING THE
00:39:21BIDEN ADMINISTRATION ON THE COVID VACCINE IN SO MANY OTHER DIFFERENT THINGS.
00:39:24WHAT THIS DOES IS IT RESTORES THE AUTONOMY OF FAMILIES AND
00:39:28PARENTS TO MAKE GOOD DECISIONS FOR THEIR KIDS AND IT ALLOWS AND
00:39:32CONTINUES TO EMPHASIZE THE
00:39:32IMPORTANCE OF SCIENCE IN
00:39:36RECOMMENDATIONS FOR VACCINES THAT FUNDAMENTALLY RESTORES A HEALTHY RELATIONSHIP TO PUBLIC
00:39:40HEALTH AND PARENTS. MORE IN LINE WITH WHAT HAPPENS IN EUROPEAN COUNTRIES THAN IN
00:39:43THE UNITED STATES WHERE THEIR CHILDHOOD OUTCOMES ARE MUCH
00:39:47BETTER THAN WE SEE HERE.
00:39:47IT IS A BIG FIRST STEP THAT
00:39:51BUILDS ON WHAT WE HAVE BEEN WORKING ON THE LAST YEAR AND A
00:39:52HALF TOWARD A MORE SAY PUBLIC
00:39:55HEALTH SYSTEM THAT SEES HEALTHY
00:39:57KIDS GROW UP WITHOUT PRESSURE,
00:40:02WITHOUT UNDUE INFLUENCE TO MAKE
00:40:05GOOD DECISIONS FOR THEIR FAMILIES AND FOR THEIR KIDS.
00:40:09>> THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT.
00:40:12BECAUSE OF YOUR COURAGE AND LEADERSHIP, MR. PRESIDENT,
00:40:14MILLIONS OF PARENTS ALL OVER
00:40:18AMERICA TODAY ARE BREATHING AN ENORMOUS SIGH OF RELIEF.
00:40:21I SAY THIS AS THE PARENT OF YOUNG CHILDREN MYSELF.
00:40:25MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF PARENTS FEEL THEY HAVE BEEN PRESSURED
00:40:28WHEN THEIR CHILDREN ARE JUST WEEKS OUT OF THE HOSPITAL TO
00:40:32TAKE SEVEN SHOTS ALL AT ONCE.
00:40:35THEY ARE TOLD YOUR KID WILL HAVE A FEVER OF 103 FOR THREE OR FOUR DAYS.
00:40:39YOUR KID WILL STOP EATING FOR A WEEK.
00:40:41YOUR KID IS GOING TO CHANGE. IT'S TOTALLY FINE AND NORMAL.
00:40:45NOBODY HAS STUDIED IT, LOOKED AT IT, THOUGHT ABOUT IT. THE PRESSURE FROM THE
00:40:49PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY AND FROM
00:40:53ASPECTS OF THE MEDICAL INDUSTRY
00:40:54TO PUMP YOUR KIDS FULL OF SHOTS DAYS AFTER BIRTH WITH NO
00:40:58UNDERSTANDING OF THE LONG-TERM
00:41:00CONSEQUENCES HAS BEEN A MEDICAL TRAVESTY.
00:41:03THIS IS AN ISSUE, MR. PRESIDENT, THAT YOU HAVE BEEN MEETING ON
00:41:05FOR YEARS AND THE MAN TO YOUR LEFT HAS BEEN LEADING ON THIS
00:41:08ISSUE FOR YEARS AS WELL, TOO. IT IS AN INCREDIBLE MOMENT TO
00:41:12STAND HERE TODAY AND FINALLY SEE THE CONCERNS OF PARENTS AROUND THIS COUNTRY ADDRESS.
00:41:16THERE'S BEEN SO MUCH HEARTACHE WHERE PARENTS HAVE HAD HEALTHY
00:41:19CHILDREN WITH NO ISSUES AND THEY KNOW THEY HAVE BEEN PRESSURED INTO DOING THINGS THEY DID NOT
00:41:22WANT TO DO AND MEDICAL SCIENCE HAS SOLD THEM FOR YEARS THAT THEIR CONCERNS ARE NOT VALID.
00:41:31TWO IMPORTANT THINGS. FIRST IS WE GET OFF OF THIS
00:41:33RIDICULOUS PATH OF HAVING OUR
00:41:35CHILDREN GET 70 TO 90 SHOTS.
00:41:37THAT IS EXCESSIVE.
00:41:41EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THESE
00:41:43SHOTS PRODUCES A PROFOUND IMMUNOLOGICAL RESPONSE SO ACROSS
00:41:46ANY LARGE POPULATION, IF YOU GIVE A KID SHOT AFTER SHOT AFTER
00:41:50SHOT, YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE VACCINE INJURIES AND YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE IMMUNOLOGICAL ISSUES.
00:41:57POTENTIALLY NEUROLOGICAL ISSUES. SECONDLY, AND SO IMPORTANT TO
00:42:00YOU, MR. PRESIDENT, IS THE UNBUNDLING OF THE SHOT.
00:42:04WHY DO YOU NEED TO HAVE THESE SHOTS BUNDLED INTO THESE
00:42:08PACKAGES? WHY CAN'T YOU SPLIT IT INTO FIVE VISITS AND GIVE THIS
00:42:10YOUNG BODY -- IF A PARENT WANTS
00:42:13TO DO A VACCINE -- ONE SHOT AT A TIME?
00:42:16WHY IS IT IN JAPAN, YOU CAN GET
00:42:18A SEPARATE MEASLES SHOT, MOMS SHOT, RUBELLA SHOT, BUT IN
00:42:22AMERICA, IT HAS TO BE PACKAGED TOGETHER? THIS IS A COURAGEOUS
00:42:26ACTION, MR. PRESIDENT, THAT INSURES DIGNITY OF PATIENCE,
00:42:29DIGNITY OF PARENTS AND RESOURCE CHOICE AND SAYS WE ARE GOING TO
00:42:32LET THE PARENT AND THE DOCTOR MAKE A SOUND MEDICAL DECISION.
00:42:35THE FACT THAT YOU HAVE HAD THE
00:42:38COURAGE TO PUSH THIS FORWARD
00:42:41KNOWING THE UNFAIR CRITICISM FROM SOME IN THE ESTABLISHMENT
00:42:44AND TO GIVE THE CHANCE FOR BOBBY HE SPENT DECADES REPRESENTING
00:42:48PARENTS TO STAND HERE TODAY IS SUCH A PROFOUND MOMENT, SUCH A
00:42:51BEAUTIFUL MOMENT, AND IT'S GOING TO LEAD TO SUCH INCREDIBLE ADVANCES IN OUR UNDERSTANDING OF
00:42:55CHILDREN'S HEALTH AND MAKING
00:42:57SURE THAT WE COULD BE A COUNTRY
00:43:01THAT HAS SAFETY AND SECURITY FOR OUR FAMILIES AND CHILDREN WHILE
00:43:04AT THE SAME TIME PROTECTING PATIENT CHOICE. YOU CAN HAVE BOTH OF THESE THINGS.
00:43:08THIS ORDER ACCOMPLISHES IT. I AM SO PROUD YOU ARE SENDING IT TODAY, MR. PRESIDENT.
00:43:15>> YES, THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT. IT'S AN HISTORIC DAY AND ACTION.
00:43:19MANY PEOPLE HAVE ASKED THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THIS EXECUTIVE ORDER AND WHAT YOU
00:43:22SIGNED IN DECEMBER AND WHAT YOU SIGNED LATER ON IN MAY.
00:43:26I WANT TO QUICKLY ANSWER THAT QUESTION. IN DECEMBER, THE PRESIDENTIAL
00:43:30MEMORANDUM DIRECTED HHS TO PRODUCE THE SCIENTIFIC ASSESSMENT THAT THEY DID AND
00:43:34THEN THEY OVERHAULED THE VACCINE SCHEDULE.
00:43:37THOSE ACTIONS HAS SINCE BEEN HELD UP IN COURT AND SO RIGHT NOW, AMERICANS DO NOT HAVE
00:43:41ACCESS TO THAT INFORMATION AND YOU ARE CORRECTING THAT WRONG
00:43:44TODAY AND SAYING I AM GIVING AMERICANS THIS SUPERVISION
00:43:46DIRECTLY SO THAT THEY KNOW WHAT
00:43:50-- THE SCIENTIFIC ASSESSMENT THEMSELVES BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY,
00:43:52STATES ARE THE PLACE WHERE
00:43:56SCHOOL VACCINATION REQUIREMENTS ARE IMPLEMENTED. STATE LAWS AND REGULATIONS AND
00:43:59THE CDC WOULD ADVISE THE STATES
00:44:02ON THOSE POLICIES. SINCE JANUARY OF 2026, 20 EIGHT
00:44:06STATES HAVE NO LONGER AGREED
00:44:06WITH THE CDC AND THEY RECOMMEND THEIR OWN POLICIES.
00:44:10A LOT OF THOSE ESTATES ARE BLUE STATES AND THEY ARE WORKING WITH
00:44:14OUTSIDE ENTITIES LIKE THE AMERICAN ACADEMY OF PEDIATRICS THAT STILL RELY ON
00:44:18RECOMMENDATIONS THAT WERE IN PLACE IN 2024 WITH THE 72
00:44:23INJECTIONS BY AGE 18 SO YOU WERE SAYING, ESPECIALLY TO STATES
00:44:26THAT ARE WILLING, TAKE A LOOK AT THE SCIENTIFIC ASSESSMENT.
00:44:28THESE ARE THE GOLD STANDARD CHILDHOOD VACCINE
00:44:31RECOMMENDATIONS AND YOU SHOULD PUT THIS INTO YOUR STATE LAW SO THAT WHEN PARENTS GO TO ENROLL
00:44:35THEIR KIDS IN SCHOOL, THEY DO NOT HAVE TO MEET SOME OF THE
00:44:39REQUIREMENTS FOR THE VACCINES THAT ARE NO LONGER RECOMMENDED FOR ALL CHILDREN AND THAT BRINGS
00:44:43US IN LINE WITH EUROPEAN NATIONS AND IMPORTANTLY, THOSE NATIONS
00:44:46DO NOT HAVE VACCINE MANDATES FOR SCHOOL.
00:44:49A LOT OF THOSE NATIONS MAINTAIN VACCINATION RATES FOR MEASLES
00:44:54ABOVE 90%. DENMARK, IRELAND, SPAIN, PORTUGAL ALL HAVE RATES FOR
00:44:57MEASLES ABOVE 90% WITHOUT
00:44:59MANDATES FOR SCHOOL SO THEY DO
00:45:02THAT THROUGH INCREASED PUBLIC TRUST AND EDUCATION AND LETTING
00:45:05PARENTS BE INFORMED IN MAKING THOSE DECISIONS.
00:45:08WE ARE ENCOURAGING TO ADOPT THOSE DECISIONS HERE TODAY. WE STILL RECOMMEND THE MEASLES
00:45:12VACCINE FOR ALL CHILDREN BUT WE WANT PARENTS TO BE INFORMED
00:45:16ABOUT THE TIMING AND HAVE THE OPTION TO SEPARATE THEM OUT.
00:45:19THIS IS AN HISTORIC ACTION. WE WILL BE WORKING DIRECTLY WITH
00:45:22STATES SO WE ARE NOT RELIANT ON THE COURT CASE TO RESOLVE.
00:45:26WE ARE DOING IT RIGHT AWAY SO THAT PARENTS GET THE BENEFIT
00:45:30FROM STATE LAWS CHANGING.
00:45:34GUEST: WHEN YOU HEAR THAT --
00:45:36PRES. TRUMP: WHEN YOU HEAR THAT
00:45:38NUMBER WHERE IT'S ONE IN 10,030
00:45:41YEARS AGO AND I WANT TO 19, SOMETHING HAPPENED IN THE MEANTIME.
00:45:52IT'S NOT JUST HAPPENSTANCE.
00:45:55SOMETHING WENT WRONG, SOME BAD THINGS WERE RECOMMENDED.
00:45:59THINK OF IT.
00:46:00SO YOU HAVE ONE IN 10,000 AND
00:46:04NOW IT'S ONE IN 30,000.
00:46:08CALIFORNIA, ONE IN 18. WE GOT TO GET TO THE BOTTOM OF IT. PLEASE.
00:46:13>> THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HAVING ME.
00:46:16I HAVE A 3.5-YEAR-OLD AND ANOTHER ONE ON THE WAY AND MR.
00:46:19PRESIDENT, WE ARE SO THANKFUL FOR ALL THE WORK THAT YOU HAVE
00:46:22DONE IN THIS COUNTRY WITH VACCINES, THE FOOD SYSTEMS.
00:46:26RENTAL, SECRETARY KENNEDY. I BELIEVE HEALTH IS THE NUMBER ONE ISSUE IN THIS COUNTRY.
00:46:30IF WE DON'T HAVE A HEALTHY COUNTRY, WE DON'T HAVE ANYTHING
00:46:33AT ALL AND NO PARENT SHOULD FEEL THE PRESSURE OF IMMEDIATELY
00:46:37THEIR CHILD IS BORN AND A BUNCH OF VACCINES ARE PUSHED UPON THEM.
00:46:40THIS IS ABOUT FREEDOM AT THE END OF THE DAY AND WHAT THIS COUNTRY WAS BUILT ON.
00:46:44FREEDOM FOR PARENTS TO MAKE THE DECISIONS THAT BEST SUIT THEIR
00:46:47KID AND I AM A ANTI-VACCINE ADVOCATE. I AM PRO-VACCINE BUT WE WANT TO
00:46:50BE ABLE TO HAVE THE FREEDOM TO SPACE IT OUT AND CHOOSE WHICH ONE WORKS FOR OUR CHILD.
00:46:55WE DON'T BELIEVE THERE IS A ONE-SIZE-FITS-ALL SOLUTION FOR EVERY CHILD SO WE ARE SO
00:46:59THANKFUL FOR EVERYTHING THAT YOU ARE DOING, MR. PRESIDENT.
00:47:01PRES. TRUMP: LIKE THE POLIO VACCINE.
00:47:05IT'S AMAZING.
00:47:17WE HAVE NO CHOICE.
00:47:25IT'S POSSIBLE IT DOESN'T WORK.
00:47:28WE ARE GOING TO LEARN A LOT AND
00:47:31WE COULD GET -- IF WE COULD GO
00:47:33BACK 20 YEARS, 25 YEARS,
00:47:35SOMETHING HAPPENED IN BETWEEN THAT WOULD LEAD US TO THE KIND OF NUMBERS THAT WE ARE SEEING.
00:47:41COULD I HAVE THAT AND YOU WILL SIGN IT?
00:47:44VERY HAPPY TO SIGN IT. >> THIS IS YOUR EXECUTIVE ORDER.
00:47:49AS PREVIOUS SPEAKERS HAVE INDICATED, THIS WILL ESTABLISH ESSENTIALLY A NEW VACCINE
00:47:54SCHEDULE THAT IS FULLY INFORMED BY THE RESEARCH AND DATA THAT WE
00:47:58HAVE FROM HHS AND NIH AND OTHER
00:48:00ASPECTS OF THE GOVERNMENT. IT TAKES A VERY HARD LINE ON
00:48:03SOME OF THE MORE PATERNALISTIC ISSUES WE HAVE BEEN TALKING
00:48:07ABOUT HERE, SIR, IN TERMS OF
00:48:11INFRINGING ON PARENTS RELIGIOUS LIBERTY OR REALLY JUST PARENTS
00:48:13ABILITY TO MAKE DECISIONS FOR
00:48:15THEIR CHILDREN SO THIS IS A VERY BIG DEAL.
00:48:19WE ARE NOT WAITING FOR ANYONE ELSE TO TAKE ACTION AS YOU DO SO
00:48:23OFTEN, SIR. WE ARE JUST GOING AHEAD AND DOING THE RIGHT THING BASED ON
00:48:26ALL THE BEST AVAILABLE RESEARCH TO ENSURE THAT AMERICANS PARENTS
00:48:30AND CHILDREN ARE BEING IS BEST PROTECTED BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AS THEY CAN BE.
00:48:36PRES. TRUMP: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
00:48:45OK. THAT IS A BIG ONE IN MY BOOK.
00:48:50[APPLAUSE]
00:48:57ALL RIGHT. ANY QUESTIONS?
00:49:01QUANTS MR. PRESIDENT, IN ADDITION TO THIS BIG ANNOUNCEMENT, YOU HAVE ALSO BEEN
00:49:04POSTING ABOUT IRAN TODAY OPPOSING THEIR LATEST DEMANDS.
00:49:07HE SAID THIS LAST ROUND OF TALKS
00:49:10WAS IRAN'S LAST CHANCE BEFORE DECAPITATION SO WHAT NOW?
00:49:13PRES. TRUMP: YOU WILL FIND OUT.
00:49:17>> A MASSIVE ESCALATION. IS THAT STILL ON THE TABLE? PRES. TRUMP: YOU WILL FIND OUT.
00:49:23>> YOU SAID YOU ARE SEMI-NEGOTIATING. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
00:49:26PRES. TRUMP: THEY ASKED FOR
00:49:30REPARATIONS, YOU MIGHT SAY.
00:49:31THEY ASKED FOR MONEY FOR THE
00:49:35DAMAGE THAT WE HAVE DONE AND I SAID THAT IS A GOOD IDEA. WE ARE GOING TO ASK FOR MONEY
00:49:38FOR THE DAMAGE THEY HAVE DONE OVER A 50 YEAR PERIOD.
00:49:44ALL OF THE PEOPLE WHO WERE SO BADLY HURT, SO BADLY WOUNDED OR KILLED.
00:49:47MANY THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE.
00:49:50AND MAY BE DAMAGES FOR THE 52,000 PROTESTERS OVER THE LAST
00:49:53FOUR MONTHS THAT WE KILLED IN IRAN.
00:49:54WE THINK THEIR FAMILY SHOULD GET
00:49:58DAMAGES FOR KILLING THEIR PERSON OR THEIR CHILD.
00:50:01MOTHER, FATHER, THAT THEY WERE PROTESTING.
00:50:0652,001.5 MONTHS AGO SO NOW WHAT IS IT?
00:50:08SO IF THERE'S DAMAGES TO BE PAID, I THINK IRAN SHOULD PAY THOSE DAMAGES.
00:50:14>> ARE YOU FRUSTRATED WITH SENATE REPUBLICANS AND FIGURING
00:50:18-- THUNE FOR GOING HOME FOR
00:50:22RECESS? PRES. TRUMP: I THINK THEY SHOULD
00:50:25PASS PROOFS OF -- PROOF OF CITIZENSHIP.
00:50:29BASICALLY SAVE AMERICA ACT. THAT SHOULD BE SOMETHING THAT WE SHOULD ABSOLUTELY GET. YOU KNOW?
00:50:36>> YOU ARE A PROUD FATHER. WHAT YOU HAVE VACCINATED YOUR CHILDREN DIFFERENTLY BASED ON
00:50:40RECOMMENDATIONS? PRES. TRUMP: I TOOK MY CHILDREN
00:50:44FOR FIVE DIFFERENT VACCINATIONS. IN OTHER WORDS, I BROKE IT UP. THE ONE VISIT WHERE THEY JUST
00:50:49PUMP WHAT SEEMINGLY LOOKS LIKE
00:50:53GALLONS, WITH A PUMP SO MUCH IN, I TOOK ALL OF MY CHILDREN FROM
00:50:56DAY ONE -- I BELIEVED IN THIS A LONG TIME -- A LONG TIME AGO.
00:50:59I TOOK THEM WITH MY WIFE.
00:51:03I TOOK THEM THROUGH FIVE
00:51:05DIFFERENT VISITS TO THE DOCTOR.
00:51:08ESSENTIALLY, THEY GET 20% EACH AND I HAD NO PROBLEM.
00:51:15IT IS INCONVENIENT. IT IS FIVE STOPS.
00:51:18BUT IT IS SOMETHING I THINK WE'LL HAVE A HUGE IMPACT ON AUTISM.
00:51:22YUP.
00:51:24>> MR. PRESIDENT, THE ANTI-WEAPONIZE HAITIAN FUND.
00:51:28DO YOU THINK IT IS STILL ALIVE AT THIS POINT AND ARE THERE ANY OPTIONS?
00:51:33PRES. TRUMP: THAT WILL BE UP TO
00:51:35TODD BLANCHE WHO I THINK WILL BE
00:51:39A GREAT ATTORNEY GENERAL. >> WHY DOES HE ESTABLISH MEDIA
00:51:40SO OFTEN SEEM TO BE AGAINST ASKING QUESTIONS ABOUT VACCINES?
00:51:44GUEST: IT'S AMAZING.
00:51:48WHEN YOU COME UP WITH A RECOMMENDATION FOR VACCINES, IT COULD BE THE MEDICAL GROUPS, THE
00:51:51PHARMACEUTICAL GROUPS.
00:51:53BUT IT IS AMAZING. THERE IS NOTHING THAT WE LOSE
00:51:57WITH THIS. THE WORST THING THAT WOULD
00:52:00HAPPEN WOULD BE NOTHING HAPPENS.
00:52:04WE ARE NOT GOING TO LOSE ANYTHING.
00:52:07AT THE SAME TIME, WE COULD GAIN -- WE SAVE HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS
00:52:11OF LIVES. MILLIONS OF LIVES AND I WISH WE COULD HAVE DONE IT A LONG TIME
00:52:15AGO. YOU KNOW, WE GOT STOPPED BY COURT.
00:52:18WE HAD A COURT IN MASSACHUSETTS
00:52:21THAT STOPPED US VERY EARLY ON. I BELIEVED IN THIS FOR A LONG TIME SO NOW YOU'RE GETTING IT DONE.
00:52:27I THINK YOU'RE GOING TO SEE POTENTIALLY TREMENDOUS RESULTS.
00:52:31>> MR. PRESIDENT, A TOPIC ON MANUFACTURING BY THE BUREAU OF
00:52:34LABOR STATISTICS PUT OUT SOME INFORMATION LAST WEEK SAYING
00:52:36U.S. MANUFACTURING -- 4.6%
00:52:41INCREASED IN THE FIRST QUARTER OF 2026.
00:52:46IT SHOWS MANUFACTURING HAS EXPANDED FOR SEVEN CONSECUTIVE MONTHS. YOU TALKED ABOUT THE AMERICAN
00:52:50MANUFACTURING RENAISSANCE FOR 10 YEARS AT THIS POINT.
00:52:54GIVEN ALL THE STATISTICS AND INVESTMENT THAT HAS COME, DO YOU FEEL VINDICATED AT THIS POINT?
00:52:58GUEST: WE ARE DOING RECORD
00:53:02INCREASES IN MANUFACTURING AND A LOT OF THAT HAS TO DO WITH THE
00:53:05TARIFFS BECAUSE COMPANIES ARE COMING IN AND NOT ABLE TO SELL THEIR PRODUCT ON THIS -- BECAUSE
00:53:08THEY HAVE NO TARIFF.
00:53:14THERE'S NO TARIFF.
00:53:17A RECORD NUMBER OF FACTORIES UNDER CONSTRUCTION.
00:53:28THEY ARE BUILDING DOLLARS CAR PLANT.
00:53:35THEY ARE COMING TO THE UNITED STATES.
00:53:37MANY CAR PLANS, AI, I WILL SAY
00:53:43THAT THEY ARE LEAVING CANADA,
00:53:45MEXICO, GERMANY, JAPAN, SOUTH
00:53:49KOREA, COMING INTO THE UNITED STATES.
00:53:51THEY DON'T WANT TO PAY 25% TARIFF ON A CAR AND THEY DON'T
00:53:55HAVE TO PAY A TARIFF IF THEY MAKE IT HERE SO WE HAVE THE LARGEST NUMBER OF PLANTS EVER
00:53:59BEING BUILT IN THE UNITED STATES RIGHT NOW.
00:54:02HARD TO BELIEVE, RIGHT? IF YOU LISTEN TO SOME OF OUR PAST
00:54:06PROJECTS, WE WILL NEVER BE A MANUFACTURING COUNTRY AGAIN AND THESE PLANTS ARE GOING TO START
00:54:09OPENING UP IN ABOUT SIX MONTHS AND I CAN ONLY SAY THAT THE NEXT
00:54:14PRESIDENT WILL GET A LOT OF CREDIT FOR WHAT I HAVE DONE SO
00:54:18PLEASE REMEMBER IT WAS ME, NOT THEM.
00:54:20>> I THINK I HEARD YOU SAY THE MMR VACCINE IS QUITE LETHAL.
00:54:25IS THERE ANY EVIDENCE OF THAT?
00:54:28PRES. TRUMP: WHAT I HEARD IS THAT THERE'S SOME PEOPLE THAT
00:54:32SAY IT IS THAT WAY AND I SAY,
00:54:37WELL, LET'S SAY THERE'S A 5% CHANCE OF IT. LET'S SPLIT IT UP.
00:54:42LET'S SPLIT IT UP BECAUSE THEY
00:54:43DO SAY GIVEN INDIVIDUAL MMR,
00:54:47THERE IS NO IMPACT. THEY SAID HOW SAFE IT SEEMS TO
00:54:51BE BUT I HEARD WHEN YOU PUT THEM TOGETHER, THEY CAN BE EXPLOSIVE.
00:54:56>> HAVE YOU SPOKEN WITH THE NEW ATTORNEY GENERAL OR JEANINE
00:55:00PIRRO ABOUT PROSECUTING DR. FAUCI? PRES. TRUMP: I HAVE NOT SPOKEN
00:55:04ABOUT THAT, NO.
00:55:05>> THEY RELEASED A TEXT ANTHONY FAUCI.
00:55:10AS EARLY AS JANUARY 2021, THEY
00:55:11KNEW THAT THERE COULD POSSIBLY BE COMPLICATIONS WITH PREGNANT
00:55:15WOMEN AND MISCARRIAGES TIED TO COVID VACCINE.
00:55:18YOU HAD HEALTH OFFICIALS -- THEY DID NOT CHANGE THEIR RHETORIC. YOUR REACTION?
00:55:21PRES. TRUMP: THE BIDEN
00:55:24ADMINISTRATION WAS A DISASTER IN EVERY WAY. THAT WOULD BE JUST ONE WAY BUT
00:55:27THEY HAVE BEEN A DISASTER EVERY -- IN EVERY SINGLE WAY.
00:55:31IT'S UNIMAGINABLE WHAT THEY DID. FORGET ABOUT WEAPONIZATION.
00:55:37SO MANY OF THE OPEN BORDERS.
00:55:44IT'S BEEN A HORRENDOUS DISASTER.
00:55:52>> THANK YOU.
00:55:57WHAT IS YOUR RECOMMENDATION FOR FAMILIES FOR FAMILIES THAT CAN'T
00:56:00AFFORD TO KEEP PAYING FOR THOSE VISITS? PRES. TRUMP: WE ARE GOING TO
00:56:04WORK WITH THE FAMILIES TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING WORKS OUT COST WISE VERY WELL. PLEASE.
00:56:09>> WHAT RECOMMENDATIONS DO YOU HAVE FOR REPUBLICANS?
00:56:15ARE THEY MAKING LIFE EASIER?
00:56:16PRES. TRUMP: WE HAVE JIHADISTS
00:56:20BEING ELECTED ALL OVER THE CASE. -- PLACE.
00:56:25A FRIEND OF MINE CALLED UP AND
00:56:28SAID YOU SHOULD USE THE WORD JIHADIS BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT IS HAPPENING.
00:56:34TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT HAPPENS. OTHER COUNTRIES, THAT'S NOT
00:56:37GOING TO BE NECESSARILY THE WAY WE WANT TO LIVE.
00:56:41WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE RADICALISM AND THE CRAZINESS OF THE
00:56:44CANDIDATES AND THE STUPIDITY OF WHAT THEY ARE SUGGESTING, LET'S
00:56:47GET RID OF THE SUPREME COURT AND GET RID OF THE PRESIDENCY.
00:56:51LET'S GET RID OF THE SENATE.
00:56:54GET RID OF THE SENATE, TOO. I DON'T SAY AND I WOULD NOT DO IT.
00:57:00THEY WANT TO GET RID OF IDEALLY
00:57:01THE HOUSE BUT THEY ARE THINKING
00:57:05ABOUT MAYBE KEEPING THE HOUSE. ISN'T THAT NICE?
00:57:08THESE ARE PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN NOT SUCCESSFUL, PEOPLE WHO HAVE
00:57:11BEEN IN MANY CASES BAD YEARS. THEY COME FROM OTHER VALE
00:57:16COUNTRIES AND THEY COME HERE AND TELL US HOW TO RUN OUR COUNTRY.
00:57:20THEY COME FROM PLACES I WON'T MENTION BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO
00:57:24GET MYSELF INTO A CONTROVERSY. THEY COME FROM COUNTRIES THAT
00:57:26ARE NOT GREAT. THEY COME FROM, THAT SAY AS AN
00:57:31EXAMPLE, SOMALIA.
00:57:33THEY COME IN AND TELL US HOW OUR
00:57:37CONSTITUTION, HOWEVER DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE, HOW IT WORKS. IT DOES NOT WORK THAT WAY.
00:57:41THEY ARE NOT SMART.
00:57:45THEY HAVE NO APTITUDE. THEY HAVE NOTHING GOING WHEN
00:57:48THEY TOLD US HOW TO RUN OUR COUNTRY. I DON'T THINK IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN.
00:57:54I MAY BE WRONG. THEY START OFF WITH A BIG DISADVANTAGE.
00:58:05NOW, THEY ARE DENYING IT.
00:58:08WELL, I CHANGED MY MIND. THEY WANT TO TERMINATE OUR MILITARY.
00:58:12WE DON'T WANT ANY MILITARY IN OUR COUNTRY. WE DON'T WANT OUR POLICE TO BE
00:58:15PAID ANYMORE. THEY WANT OUR POLICE DOWN TO
00:58:18ALMOST NOTHING.
00:58:21IT'S LIKE IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE, RIGHT?
00:58:24>> -- IRAN, SIR.
00:58:28CAN YOU GIVE US AN ESTIMATE AS TO WHEN YOU THINK THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ --
00:58:30PRES. TRUMP: IT IS OPEN NOW.
00:58:34THE ONLY ONE THAT HAS CONTROL OF
00:58:36THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ IS THE UNITED STATES NAVY.
00:58:41WE HAVE A BLOCKADE THAT HAS BEEN INFALLIBLE. IT IS A STEEL WALL.
00:58:44WE LET PEOPLE IN THAT WE WANT TO LET IN AND THOSE PEOPLE COME IN
00:58:47AND THEY HAVE BEEN COMING IN AND GOING OUT SO IT'S ACTUALLY UP AND DOWN.
00:58:51WE DO NOT LET THEM GO INTO IRAN.
00:58:55THEY ARE NOT ADMITTED TO GO TO IRAN BUT IT IS OPEN FOR OTHERS.
00:59:01NOW, A LITTLE BIT COMPLEX BECAUSE THEY WILL ON OCCASION
00:59:04DROP A MINE.
00:59:08WE HAVE MINE SWEPT THE ENTIRE
00:59:10STRAIT AS YOU MAY HAVE HEARD.
00:59:14MAYBE YOU DIDN'T HEAR. WE CONTROL IT 100%.
00:59:18COULD THEY MAKE TROUBLE? YES, THEY CAN MAKE TROUBLE.
00:59:22THEY ARE BROKE. THEY HAVE NO MONEY. IRAN IS BROKE, TOTALLY BROKE.
00:59:27AND NOT PAYING SOLDIERS.
00:59:29THEY HAVE INFLATION OF 300% AS OF LAST NIGHT.
00:59:32I HEARD 300, 309%.
00:59:36WE WILL SEE WHAT HAPPENS.
00:59:37THEY HAVE BEEN BAD -- THEY SAY
00:59:4247. THEY HAVE BEEN SAYING IT FOR THREE YEARS.
00:59:45BUT FOR 50 YEARS, THEY HAVE BEEN THE BULLY OF THE MIDDLE EAST.
00:59:49WHAT THEY HAVE DONE IS TERRIBLE. THEY KILLED HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE.
00:59:53THEY KILLED PEOPLE. THEY HAVE WOUNDED AND MAIMED
00:59:55PEOPLE WITH THE LEGS, THE ARMS, YOU KNOW, THE ROADSIDE BOMB IS THERE.
00:59:59THEY ARE VERY PROUD OF IT.
01:00:02NOW, THEY ARE PAYING A PRICE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH, EVERYBODY.
