mr. trump: it's unbelievable. we pay billions of dollars to essentially the taliban, afghanistan. and that's given by biden, the same man that took away $50 trillion to $60 trillion worth of value of the united states. probably our most valuable asset, took away our most valuable asset. this can't be allowed to happen. we're now a nation of commonsense. when he does that, 625 million acres, this can't be allowed to happen. most people probably know about it but wouldn't have told me. reporter: you vowed to bring down the crisis at grocery stores really fast but then you mentioned to "time" magazine that bringing down prices would be very hard. what will the american people expect? mr. trump: it's hard to bring down prices when somebody has screwed things up like they did. we'll bring down energy. energy is what brought it up, energy and bad spending is what brought it up and energy will bring it down. we'll have prices down. i think you're going to see some pretty drastic price reductions. as a

mr. trump, and a historic transformation coming from mr. trump's enormous popular mandates for change. so my big take today: god save trump and america for a reason. that's the subject of the riff. >> this day forward going for them to be respected all other the world and inauguration speech going to reach up for the presidency after losing in 2020 and this being the greatest political comeback in american history. mr. trump was calling his second term a revolution of common sense. take a listen. >> today i will sign a series of historic executive orders with these actions we will begin the complete restoration of america and the revolution of common sense. larry: calling it a new era of national success and transformation tide of change that will sweep through the country. in some sense imitating teddy roosevelt and mr. trump wants to act with could recollect, vigor and vitality, emblematic of history's civilization and speaking of the republican roosevelt, mr. trump intends to take back some

and then, as mr. trumpo tossed in greenland, the same core interest principle applies with our adversaries russia and china who are kind of nosing around not simply for some rare earth minerals, but building a stronghold for the air force or naval power. president trump also threatened canada with 25% tariff if they don't cooperate on our northern border. now, trump's trolling of justin trudeau about canada becoming the 51st state basically kneecapped the left-wing prime minister right out of the ballpark and into retirement. and finally, speaking of tariffs, a recent washington post article that president trump was pulling back on his universal tariff plans were, as mr. trump put it, fake news. now a hat tip to the brilliant economist and my if dear friend larry lindsay for pointing out that u.s. imports run about $5 trillion a year. so a 10% broad-based, ring around the collar tear the riff would produce roughly $500 billion a year, and that would more than cover mr. trump's tax cuts and then some. now, t

i think on the other hand, there's no floor to mr. trump subservience to people like mr. burton. but the other thing i have to say in response to the last time was comments was that a lot of trump support is in fact, trump himself said that no more started on on his watch perhaps. but we have to also remind ourselves ourselves that it was mr. trump. that after the reluctance of mr. obama to move after clement was take a was mr. trump, who, you know, approved a lot of sanctions on rock. china is also mr. trump, who approved the use of those javelin muscles, which made a very, very big difference for ukraine at the start. so he is very, very vested in those, but again, i go back to what i said earlier. i think the, the sentiment now is to concentrate on his own battles domestically and not, you know, not requires you to get out of state as to intervene and a lot of other conflicts and like i gave them more. all right, so stephen, if that is true, and i think you, you, you broadly concur with that at your, of as role is very, very important. and now is the time for them to step up, r

and one more thing um, mr. trump tested a big favor. uh for mr. brewton by freezing, millet, sorry, billions of dollars of us id a to ukraine. since the start of the full scale invasion, the americans gave $37000000000.00 through us id. that's all being frozen right now . and this is it that, you know, being done to a country that has a $5000000000.00 a month delta set. so uh it is not looking good and i can tell you from personal contacts with your credit is uh they are very pessimistic right now about any ceasefire or turn around an economy any time soon. all right, well gentlemen, the coming weeks will give us a sense of direction on this. in the meantime, let me thank you for your contributions to i guess the, the rug is in michael pest of crew and steven orlando. thank you very much and thank you to for watching. you can find this program again at any time by visiting a website out. is there a dot com? i prefer the discussion go to a facebook page. that is facebook dot com, forward slash 8 inside story. you can also join the convers

that's what we're here to do. >> just to follow up there, mr. trump has said one big beautiful bill is what he wants. it seems procedural but we know from the senate side you would prefer two different reconciliation bills at two different times to tackle some of these big agenda items. when you hear that the speaker of the house says it's got to be one, because he can only get one thing through, doesn't that underscore just how difficult unified republican leadership is actually going to be? >> no. results matter. we're united with the results, and when president trump met with us for a couple hours, the senators, this past week, he said, i don't care how many bills. we just want to get it done. there are urgent needs that i would like to get addressed immediately. you take a look at what happened this week in the senate. there was actually bipartbiartisan ship because the first bill we brought to the floor, the laken riley bill, about a wonderful young woman, 22, a nursing student in georgia who was out for a jog, brutally murdered by an illegal imm

does mr. trump? >> president trump's plan in his first term, his plan for the middle east and his plan for israel and palestine, had a pathway to a two-state with all kinds of very important qualifiers that had to be in place beforehand. stop radicalizing the next generation of palestinian youth. very specifics components of that plan in terms of how things would be divided up. but i do think we can get to the next round of the abraham accords. i do think we can expand it. that will be between israel and saudi arabia, which will be tremendous. that has been a main goal of the netanyahu government now for years. and, margaret, i can tell you, for president trump, if any short amount of time, if we're talking about infrastructure projects, ports, rails, fiber, data center, we're talking about all of those things, these historic animosities will become smaller and smaller and smaller. and that is the peace that he seeks and only he can lead. >> so, mr. huckabee, the possible future ambassador to israel

so i think it's possible that a change in the law is the end game that mr trump is seeking, but is notnecessary for the trump administration once it is in office to move it the pace that congress requires them to or would like them too. because for one thing, there is the law standing principle of enforcement discretion in us law, the executive branch has many enforcement obligations and in general it can choose which ones to prioritise. so making this a low priority simply by directing his justice department to, not to stand on completely but to take a little more time is something that mr trump would be perfectly within his powers to do. and then the question becomes whether that additional time is to enable some sort of additional legislation to fill the gap. we've heard from _ legislation to fill the gap. we've heard from donald _ legislation to fill the gap. we've heard from donald trump. - legislation to fill the gap. we've heard from donald trump. we l legislation to fill the gap. we've . heard from donald trump. we have legislation to fill the gap. we've - heard from donald tru
