Key Discussion Points

1. The Launch and Purpose of MOM.gov

• President Trump officially announces the launch of MOM.gov, describing it as a comprehensive online resource to support mothers through every stage—from prenatal care to early childhood.
  • "This is a new benefit or an option that will be a major help for millions of American moms that will result in more beautiful American babies. We like that." (Donald J. Trump, 10:22)
• MOM.gov acts as a central hub for:
  • Clinical care
  • Pregnancy and fertility resources
  • Nutrition tips
  • Access to discounted fertility and prescription drugs (via TrumpRx.gov)
  • Guidance for childcare and maternal health

2. Fertility and IVF Access

• The administration highlights quick federal action to ensure nationwide access to IVF and fertility treatment after a controversial court ruling in Alabama restricted procedures.
• The initiative includes employer-based fertility coverage, making treatments more affordable and accessible.
  • "We're bringing it right down into the mainstream by offering coverage for care at every step. The fertility journey is a very interesting one, very complex... We're making it much simpler." (Donald J. Trump, 08:39)
• Notable Policy: Drug prices for IVF medication have decreased by up to 90% (“from $966 to $168”), due to tough international pharma negotiations leveraging tariffs.

3. Prescription Drug Price Reductions & TrumpRx.gov

• TrumpRx.gov is touted as a significant success, offering Americans access to discounted prescription drugs previously available only overseas at lower prices.
  • Over 19,000 Americans have used discounts, saving more than $15 million in the past weeks alone.
  • The administration claims up to 80% reductions on some drugs, with projected national savings of $600 billion over 10 years.
  • "We're reducing drug prices by 500, 600% or 80% or 75%... It's the biggest medical story there is and we cannot get a story about it." (Donald J. Trump, 11:28)
• The "Most Favored Nation" drug pricing deals, secured with both companies and foreign governments under threat of tariffs, are a cornerstone policy achievement.

4. Comprehensive Support for Working Families and Moms

• Working Families Tax Cuts: Largest in history, emphasizing support for women and families.
• Investment in Rural Healthcare: $50 billion allocated, with $10 billion already distributed, focused on reducing maternal mortality and serving “maternal care deserts.”
  • “Your zip code should not determine your mortality rate if you’re having a baby. That is going to change.” (Secretary Kennedy, 28:59)
• Childcare Reform:
  • Federal childcare programs reformed, increasing flexibility and options for parents, and lowering costs;
  • Funding available for stay-at-home parents as well as those using faith-based or community childcare providers.

5. Addressing the Fertility Crisis

• Alarming statistics: U.S. fertility rate has dropped below 1.5 (well under the replacement rate of 2.1)—a trend compared to Japan and China.
  • “One in three Americans are under-babied... we have a crisis that's causing our fertility rate to drop.” (Secretary Kennedy, 27:47)
• Research Initiatives:
  • Federal tasking of agencies to identify causes, focusing on metabolic issues, obesity, endocrine disruptors, and other potential factors.

6. Maternal Mortality and Rural Health Initiatives

• Maternal mortality rates in rural America are 30% higher than urban areas; telehealth and training initiatives are underway to reduce disparities.
  • "We have a simple goal. We want to cut the US Maternal death rate in half in five years.” (Olivia Walton, 30:12)
• The importance of local healthcare and telehealth solutions is stressed; bipartisan and private sector involvement is highlighted.

7. Perinatal Improvement Collaborative

• Launched in the first Trump administration, this hospital network claims to have reduced maternal mortality by 41.5% in participating hospitals.
  • Emphasis on data-driven, outcome-focused maternal and infant care.

8. Right To Try Legislation

• The administration recaps “Right to Try,” a policy allowing terminally ill patients access to experimental drugs under “no liability” agreements.
  • “Right To Try has been one of the great successes. Again, nobody talks about it, but everyone knows how successful it is.” (Donald J. Trump, 54:43)
• Multiple participants cite lives saved and accelerated drug approval as key outcomes.

9. Policy, Politics, and Media Skepticism

• President Trump frequently critiques Democrats for lack of support and the media for not covering the successes of his administration’s health policies.
  • “If a Democrat proposed it, it'd be front-page news every day for the rest of your life. The media, they don't want to write about it.” (Donald J. Trump, 11:28)

10. Foreign Policy – Iran

• President Trump addresses a recent rejected Iranian proposal, reasserting the U.S. military's destruction of Iran’s navy and air defenses:
  • “It was just unacceptable… I have a plan. The plan is very simple—Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. They are very dangerous, they are very volatile. It’s a terrible thing that’s happened over there.” (Donald J. Trump, 41:23)
• He discusses U.S. strategic strikes and military technology, expressing that the U.S. blockade and military operations have given leverage in negotiations.

Transcript

[Stephen K. Bannon]

This is the primal scream of a dying regime. Pray for our enemies because we're going medieval on these people. Christians, I got a free shot. All these networks lying about the people.

[Donald J. Trump]

The people have had a belly full of it. I know you don't like hearing that. I know you try to do everything

[Stephen K. Bannon]

in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it. It's going to happen. And where do people like that go to share the big lie?

[Dr. Oz]

MAGA MEDIA I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? If that answer is to save my

[Donald J. Trump]

country, this country will be saved. War ROOM here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

Okay, we're going to the White House in a moment. I want to thank our sponsor, Birch Gold. Take your phone and text Bannon B A N N O N at 989-898. Get Ultimate Guide for Investing in Gold and Precious Metals in the Age of Trump. Now more than ever, you need to talk to Philip Patrick and his team, particularly why central banks are buying gold at record rates and why the BRICS nations, led by Lula, who kind of got turfed out of the White House the other day, is leading the effort to break the petrodollar. Talk to Philip Patrick and the team. In times of geopolitical turbulence, physical gold has been a hedge against that for, I don't know, 3,000 years. Talk to Philip Patrick Bannon B A N N O N 989-898 get you right there. No obligation, totally free, all the information. Eric Bolling, we are going to cut to the White House momentarily for this and we've had a slight technical problem, but the boys in Denver are fixing it right now. Eric Bolling, here's what concerns me. We heard from Axios and all the New York Times, all the guys that have inside baseball in the White House, the administration, that over the weekend we shouldn't, you know, be upset. You know, we had you on the other morning and shouldn't be upset that, that the one pager was not coming back to us because there were serious discussions among appropriate parties happening behind the scenes. Then we got an in your face response last night. I don't say that. Eric Bolling doesn't say that. A guy named Donald John Trump says that totally unacceptable, right? And he says whoever these guys are we're dealing with, he says, I don't know if they're the appropriate part, the so called leaders, I think he refers to them where do we stand today, brother? The president is scheduled to leave for Beijing I think tomorrow at about 1:30 to 2:00 clock to go there for the Wednesday, Thursday, Friday state visit summit. Where do we stand with all this right now?

[Secretary Kennedy]

Boeing?

[Stephen K. Bannon]

And most importantly, where are the markets telling us we stand?

[Dr. Oz]

Nervous, very nervous. Steve, when we saw the totally unacceptable quote truth post the other last night I guess was late yesterday afternoon markets started to tick up. Oil markets opened insincere and full last night around 6:15pm Eastern. Moved up $2, up $3, got as high as 100, 100 and a half. So 100.48 ballpark or so early this morning has backed off to $98 a barrel, up two and a half dollars a barrel. Still nervous on the upside. Like I said earlier, I believe President

[Stephen K. Bannon]

just come to the microphone. Just hang on one second. Let's cut to. We're going to cut to the White House and come back to you. President everyone's focused on how the conflict in the Middle east is raising oil prices. But there's another grim reality to this contention. Oil isn't the only resource being constrained. About one third of global fertilizer trade happens through this region. And with spring planting season on top of us, American farmers are sounding the alarm with some saying they can't afford to plant their fields. When one piece of the supply chain gets hit this hard, you know what comes next? Higher fruit prices, reduced availability, maybe even panic buying. That's why having an emergency food supply at home makes so much sense. And that's where our friends at My Patriot Supply come in right now at preparewithbannon.com that is preparewithbannon.com, we've set up an entire just site for the war room posse.

Go check it out. The dollar's convertibility into gold ended in 1971. Gold was fixed at $35 an ounce. Well, fast forward to today and the US dollar has lost over 85% of its purchasing power. Gold, on the other hand, is increased in value by over 12,000%. That's why Central banks are buying gold at record levels. That's why major firms like Vanguard and BlackRock hold significant positions in gold. And that's why I encourage you to consider diversifying your savings with physical gold from Birch Gold Group.

[Donald J. Trump]

We have to do something. And I'm a quick study. So I learned everything there is to learn in about three or four minutes. And I became the father of fertility. No, it just made a lot of sense to me. She explained it well. And I hope you tell that story. What happened to you that you were virtually attacked with. With a bad ruling from a court. They gave a very bad ruling, as you remember, in Alabama.

[Dr. Dorothy Fink]

Yeah.

[Senator Katie Britt]

But you stepped in and saved the day and made sure that we had nationwide access to IVF and have done so much since then.

[Dr. Alex Adams]

And we are so grateful.

[Donald J. Trump]

We had something passed within two days after. That's great. It's really pretty amazing. You don't see that happen very often. But this will be supplemental option available to those who need it, much like vision or dental insurance. So we're bringing it right down into the the mainstream by offering coverage for care at every step. The fertility journey is a very interesting one. Very complex. It was. And we're making it much simpler. This will hopefully reduce the number of couples who ultimately need to resort to ivf because challenges can be identified and addressed very early in the process. This is a new benefit. This is a benefit that so many people have called me about. I mean, it's incredible. Oz and Bobby, I can tell you, we speak about it a lot. So many people have called me about. We have to do this. They've been waiting for it for a long time. But this is a new benefit or an option that will be a major help for millions of American moms that will result in more beautiful American babies. We like that. To further reduce the cost of fertility care, my administration has negotiated unprecedented most favored nation agreements with with all of the world's leading pharmaceutical companies and nations. You think that was easy? That was not easy. The nations in particular, I tell you. And it challenged them with tariffs. You don't want to give us what you want. I'm putting tariffs on your nation, sir. We'll give it to you immediately, actually. You think Biden could do that? I don't think so. Nor did he try. Bobby. Right? They didn't even try. He did not. They never tried anything. One drug commonly used in IVF has gone from, as an example, $966 to $168, a difference of 500%. This is the most incredible thing. It's not talked about by the fake news. It's sad because it's the biggest thing to happen. I think we're getting drug prices Prescription drug prices down by 400 or 500% or depending on the way you want to phrase the question, you, you could say 4, 5, 600% oz and you could also say 80%, 70%, et cetera. It all depends on the way you phrase the question. I like the 500 better. And since we launched that website just a few months ago, it's called trumprx.gov it's through the roof. Is that a correct statement? As and by the way, you tell them that was your idea to call Trump. It wasn't mine. It wasn't mine.

[Secretary Kennedy]

The President did not proposed that name, but everyone else thought was a great idea. It is working spectacularly well, incredibly effective at so many things that there's not an American around buying a medication who should not check trumprx.gov first we propose, Mr. President, it's going to save us $600 billion over the next decade. The kinds of savings we're going to achieve from the most favored nation drug pricing that Secretary Kennedy organized.

[Donald J. Trump]

And the media doesn't write about it. If somebody, if a Democrat proposed it, it'll be front page news every day for the rest of your life. The media, they don't want to write about it. Think of it. We're reducing drug prices by 500, 600% or 80% or 75%. Anyway, it's all about the phrasing of the question. And the media doesn't write about it. It's amazing. It's so sad. It's so biased. And that's why the media, their approval rating went down just today, 12%. You're 12%. That's why I got elected with 97% bad stories. I won in a landslide because you have no credibility. So I wish the media would write about it. It's probably the biggest story certainly it's got to be maybe the biggest story in medicine if you think, I mean where you get drug reduction prices of 60, 70, 80%. A pill that costs a $10 in Germany costs in New York City costs $130, $140. Now the pill is going to go to $20 in Germany and $20 for us. In other words, we're going to have the lowest prices anywhere in the world and we can't get a story about it. They won't write it. It's the biggest medical story there is and we cannot get a story about it. I think I'm going to ask Walmart for a little help, if you don't mind because you people seem to get Very good. You get very good bookmarks. I think if you could explain the trick, let me know. But since we launched a website just a few months ago, over 19,000Americans have used those fertility medicines and discounts and saved more than $15 million just in a short period of time, for a matter of weeks. The Council of Economic Advisers projects that the number will rise to $4.6 billion over a fairly small number of years. Nobody has ever seen anything like this. And we had to get the countries first. We had to get the companies. And the companies were pretty good, but they knew I couldn't get the countries, so they didn't care that much. I think that's.

[Olivia Walton]

We.

[Donald J. Trump]

When we got the countries, I think they said, what's going on? And yet they've done fine. They do more business and they do it from it's. They made it up in volume, right? They made it up in volume. As the old, old story went, there are many other ways our administration is supporting moms and women. We passed the largest working family tax cuts in American history, by far. We passed the largest tax cuts not only for women, for everybody, but for women. So many working women. We passed the largest tax cuts in history. We also made a historic investment in rural health with $50 billion distributed across all 50 states. And that gives each state a lot of money over the next five years. $10 billion has already been distributed, and you see the results all over the rural part of the United States, which. Which I'm proud to say I won by about 80% of the vote. And many states are investing in improving maternal healthcare. Every Democrat in Congress voted against this historic funding. The Democrats, well, they suffer from Trump Derangement syndrome. To be honest, they don't even know what they're looking at. They can't even see straight. But I have a new way out. I'm going to propose something, the opposite of what I want. And we will have massive amounts of legislation. No, just all I have to do is we will not build the wall.

[Secretary Kennedy]

Diabolically, that's what I'm going to do, Katie.

[Donald J. Trump]

I'm going to go the opposite. Whatever is bad, I'm going to go for it, and they'll approve what's good. Finally, now they've got serious Trump Derangement syndrome, which actually is a disease. I'm hearing it is actually disease. It's an honor. Today we're also enacting groundbreaking child care reforms to improve federal childcare programs, including Head Start and Childcare Development Fund that goes to each state. It's Big stuff. These reforms will give states more flexible, lower costs, increase options, and empower parents to choose what care works best for them. There's a lot of options that you're going to have under this plan. You have, I think, pretty much maximum. Heidi. I think maximum options. And that's what we're looking for, maximum options at the lowest cost. And you've got a cost that if you were here a year ago or if you were here like during the last administration, you're talking about a cost that would be 8 to 10 times more expensive than what we're doing. Same exact, same exact prescription, same exact medicine, same care at 10%. It will also free up childcare funding for hundreds of thousands of additional children to support stay at home parents. In recognition of this ambitious agenda to support American mothers, today we're announcing a new website that is online right now. It's moms.gov moms. You couldn't have put that in the Trump deal. You had to give me a new one. Competition. This guy, he wants to make me work so hard. So explain moms.gov? would you please, Dr. Az well, we're

[Secretary Kennedy]

going to have a whole discussion about it, sir, a little bit later if we could. We want Katie to speak a bit about the first issue you mentioned. But moms.gov is a beautiful site, folks. Want to check it right now while we're talking?

[Senator Katie Britt]

Yeah, you really should. And it's, it's pretty incredible, something that Senator Rubio and I tried to do, sir, but you're the one who actually did it along with.

[Donald J. Trump]

Well, I like TrumpRx.com I feel like something, I mean, I love moms, I love mobs, but I like trumprx.gov you put me in there. I got to make sure he gives me competition. Now he wants her to work. That's all right. We're only kidding. I have to say. We're kidding. Otherwise they'll do. Trump and Assad have made you think dispute. It was terrible and Bobby broke him up. It was a terrible, terrible dispute. These people. I encourage every mom to visit this new page where they will find helpful information about addressing clinical care, pregnancy resources, nutrition tips, Trump RX and Trump Accounts. Trump Accounts has been amazing for the kids. Michael and Susan Dell, they put in 6, $6,250,000,000 started it. And that's another one that's gone through the Trump accounts where young kids, they turn 18 or 20 or 21 and they feel like, they feel like a billionaire used to say a millionaire. Now you say A billionaire, but they certainly feel rich as opposed to having absolutely nothing. It's so popular. So many people are doing it. We have people. And one case took over the entire state, state of Ohio. He's putting up the money for every kid in the state of Ohio. Supporting the journey of American moms at every stage is so important to the success of our nation. I'd now like to ask Senator Katie Britt. She's the one that got me into this. I have to tell you, I hope she always remains loyal to me so I can continue to support her.

[Olivia Walton]

You got it.

[Donald J. Trump]

I would hate to go against her. That will never happen, Katie.

[Senator Katie Britt]

That's right, sir.

[Donald J. Trump]

But to say just a few words, she's really a fantastic woman. She's a great senator. And I got lucky. I was supporting somebody else, and then I realized that somebody else wasn't very good. And I said, who's that young woman I met that was so impressive? They say her name is Katie Britt. I said, let me talk to her. I talked to her. I endorsed her. She won a landslide. And you've been winning in landslide seven. So you've been doing a great job, Katie. Thank you very much. I thought I should explain it.

[Monique Pruitt]

Thank you.

[Donald J. Trump]

To say a few words. Katie is going to say and followed by Monique Pruitt and then Olivia Walton, then Dr. Oz and Dr. Dorothy Fink and Dr. Alex Adams. And you'll speak not too long, because I am being waited on by a large group of generals. And that's also important, you know, having to do what it is having to do with the absolutely lovely country of Iran. That's the way they pronounce it.

[Senator Katie Britt]

We will get started then. Mr. President, thank you for your work. We are here, guys. This is another example of promises made, promises kept. I mean, we look at what President Trump did when we dealt with this issue in Alabama. He stepped up to the plate immediately to make sure that we had nationwide access to ivf, to making sure that we had comprehensive fertility treatment, so that men and women who. Couples who were longing for their child could continue to have that hope and also have that reality. Today doubles down on that yet again. I mean, we see the savings that have happened across the country, and I've had more and more people come up to me and tell me a story about what it has saved them. But we also know that there was a opportunity for continued growth. President Trump saw that and he acted on it. So now more people are going to have access through their employer, just like they would dental or vision insurance. And there are people right now who this is out of reach because of affordability. And President Trump is bringing that back in. When you look at the comprehensive nature of what we're doing today and coming on the hills of Mother's Day, I mean, we are thrilled to support mothers everywhere, whether it's that mom that is getting to experience, experience growing life for the very first time, or the one chasing toddlers or wrangling teenagers or being there when their adult child calls for advice. Moms are the heartbeats of our families, our communities and our country. President Trump knows that, and he's made sure we've created a comprehensive culture of life. That's what you see right now with moms.gov moms.gov was something that then Senator Ruby Rubio and I talked about doing with Senator Kramer and now Senator Schmidt. But of course, President Trump is actually the one that put it into action. It supports moms through the prenatal, postpartum and early childhood development stages of motherhood. Also, as we tackle rural health. Look, I stand up here in front of you not only as a mom of two, but also as someone who lives in the great state of Alabama, where about 28% of women live in a current maternal care desert. The work that we did in the working families tax cuts, guys, that hits it head on. We have an opportunity now to reach those who haven't been reached. When we look at maternal mortality rates, we continue to invest both in the research that will help us resolve that issue, but also in the women that deal with so many issues during their pregnancy. We want them to be supported and then in addition to all of that, childcare. So we, you know, last year alone you had about 455,000 women leave the workforce due to affordability and accessibility of childcare. We've often said, and the president and I have talked about this, if you have or want the opportunity to stay home, we want that for you. But if you want or need the opportunity to re enter the workforce and want to be a part of building back America like President Trump is doing, we don't want affordability or accessibility to be an impediment to that. So not only at his direction, and I was proud to lead the effort in the working families tax cuts to modernize the tax code to make sure that child care was front and center for the first time since Ronald Reagan, sir, you're the first one to do it. But today, that comprehensive nature of whether you're staying home or you're in a faith based provider or you have a child care center that you lovingly send your child to during the day as you work to provide for your family. Today, that is easier as a result. And we are proud of what that means for the economy. We know 24% of young families, young families spend about 24% of their annual income on child care. So, Mr. President, thank you for all that you've done, creating a comprehensive culture of life. This is, this is really groundbreaking.

[Donald J. Trump]

So do you see now why I endorsed her? So. Yes, and always will. I'd be afraid not to. She also is married to the largest human being.

[Senator Katie Britt]

He's right there, sir.

[Donald J. Trump]

Her husband is great. He's a 11 year player in the NFL, an All Star, one of the greatest college football players ever at what he does. So he's. And he's a fantastic person. Both two really fantastic people. Monique Pruitt speaks about Trump Rx.

[Monique Pruitt]

Yes, sir. Well, thank you, Mr. President and Senator Britt for all the work and teams that have done so much around this. This is a very important topic. So glad to be here. I have personally used Trump Rx and I've saved thousands of dollars on my medication. As President Trump mentioned, a lot of insurances did not cover this. Looks like they will be now.

[Donald J. Trump]

So that's wonderful.

[Monique Pruitt]

Thank you. Even so, some don't cover the medication portion. That can be a separate pharmaceutical cost. So Trump Rx has brought a lot of the prices of medications down. For me personally, Gonal F has been one of the main medicines that people use for ache retrievals and that I cannot find it anywhere on any other website or for cheaper. So thank you so much to you guys for doing all the work. We really appreciate it from the IVF community.

[Donald J. Trump]

It's been amazing, hasn't it, the difference in cost. It's just incredible. I mean, you're talking about something where it goes down 5 cents, 6, 7 times. And I tell the story often. My first, I was so proud my first term, 1/8 of 1%. I reduced drug costs during my third year, 1/8 of 1%. And that's the first time in 28 years that prices went down. And I was so proud to have a new sponsor remember that. I was there. Yes. I'd like to just say that prices have gone down 1/8 of 1%, which is the first time in 28 years that prices have gone down for prescription drug prices and others. I was so proud of that. And now I reduced them by 500%. Perhaps that's experience. I always knew that, you know, we were being Just absolutely decimated. But, you know, I was hunted. I was the hunter. Now, you know, I was the hunter then, and I had to devote a lot of time to that. Otherwise I wouldn't have been too effective. If I was out of office, I wouldn't have been. So we. I was hunted by some very bad people. Now I'm the hunter. It's much better when you're the hunter. But these are bad people and they'll give you no support at all, no matter how good it is. I mean, as an example, I don't know what the numbers are, but if we go to Congress to get something approved, which we get, but you can say that we're going to reduce drug prices by 80% and we won't get one Democrat vote, I don't know how they get away with it. That's why we call them the Dumb ocrats. We have a new name. They're Democrats because they're dumb. They're dumb people. And then they just. They just can't do it. I've been waiting so long for them to change, but they just keep losing. And they're going to keep losing, which with their policies. But we reduced prices by 70, 80%, and it's such a big. It's such a big deal. I'd like to ask Olivia Walton, who's here with her very handsome husband, Tom. Thank you, Tom, for being here. Thank you very much. And you're going to speak about maternal

[Secretary Kennedy]

health care, Mr. President, I'm going to introduce Olivia, if you don't want to. By the way, before we leave, the last topic, the leader of IMD Serrano, which makes one of the most important fertility drugs, is here just to remind you, because you've been giving different percentages. The Monique's price of getting a product is one tenth of what it used to be. So 1 10. Forget about percentages. That's an easy number to remember. And the fact that we were paying 10 times more for that same drug in America is embarrassing. It changed under the president, and presidents have known it for a long time. But it takes guts to take on important lobby.

[Donald J. Trump]

So why didn't they get into done?

[Secretary Kennedy]

Well, the main reason is they were intimidated. They're scared.

[Donald J. Trump]

Or incompetent.

[Secretary Kennedy]

Or incompetent. But I've had plenty of conversations with the president when he says he doesn't care, he wants to do the right thing. And this is a good example.

[Senator Katie Britt]

Absolutely.

[Donald J. Trump]

Excuse me, Katie Britt's husband's here. I just spotted this very large, handsome guy that's a great guy. Okay, go ahead.

[Secretary Kennedy]

So let me speak a little bit about the reality that we 1 in 3Americans are under babied. What does under babied mean? That means that you either don't have any children or you have less children than you would normally want to have. And to Katie's point, we have a crisis that's causing our fertility rate to drop below 1.5. Replacement rate is 2.1. So we're way below what we need just to replace the people that we have in America. And one of the challenges is that rural America, where there's 60 million people have a mortality rate of maternal mortality rate when they have babies that's about 30% higher than if you live in an urban area. One of the ways the president wanted to address this was creating something in the working families tax cut legislation, which is I think, the most ambitious, fantastic program ever written to help fix the health care system. The president saved Medicaid in the working families tax cut legislation. He also invested with Congress. Senator Britton and her colleagues voted for this of the House that to put in $50 billion into rural health care. That's 10 billion a year for the next five years. All the money went out the door on time. And it's being used for incredibly beneficial advances to help Americans living in rural America have babies safely. Your zip code should not determine your mortality rate. If you're having a baby. That is going to change.

[Senator Katie Britt]

I love that you know that.

[Secretary Kennedy]

Yes, I've been there. And that is allowing us to use these new ultrasound probes. Now, if you don't have an obstetrician in your county, because in many counties in Los Angeles, in la, which is lower Alabama, that is the case, we have states and all the governors are embraced on this, investing a lot of money, training more people to work in rural America. And we're also using telehealth tools so you have big, sophisticated urban centers adopting smaller facilities, clinics so they can help moms deliver babies wherever they may live. You don't have to drive across state to get there. Now, as great as this all is and as fantastic as it has been to have 50 governors, in this case, Mr. President, even the Democratic governors are on board. It's such a good offer. It's such a beautiful way of keeping your people healthy that everyone's embraced this program, we still can't do it by ourselves. We have to invest in the American people. We have to have governors and private sector partners that make this happen as well as, and I hope the Secretary can speak to this in a moment because Maha is probably vital to this effort. You have to get moms healthy enough to do the most creative thing the universe knows, which is making babies. So, Olivia, maybe you can take the message around the private sector involvement and how you and your family have gotten involved in this and led the way, and maybe we can talk about Maha afterwards.

[Olivia Walton]

Sure, I would love to. And first, thank you so much, Mr. President. Thank you, Dr. Oz. And thank you, Secretary Kennedy. Thank all of you for making maternal health really a national priority. It's an honor to be here today with, with all of you, this $50 billion in rural health funds. This really represents a transformative opportunity to invest in maternal health care. And in fact, it's what's given us the confidence to launch Healthy Moms, Healthy Babies America, which is our campaign. It is bipartisan. Dr. Oz is right. Democratic governors across the country are also very interested in doing this. We have a simple goal. We want to cut the US Maternal death rate rate in half in five years. That sounds audacious, but I am confident we can do it. I am confident because we have the federal leadership, because President Trump wants to make America the best place to have a baby. I am confident because we now have this $50 billion money that's already going out to the states that we can actually leverage to pay for some of this. And I'm confident because, honestly, we know how to fix this. The vast majority of infant and maternal death death is preventable. We know the solutions. Maternal health is rural health. You heard the numbers from Dr. Oz. I'm here today as a mother from Arkansas. I have three young kids. I live in a very rural state. And I'm thrilled to say Governor Sanders is taking maternal health head on and has made some incredible progress. But in rural America, it is hard to have a baby right now. It is hard to get care. We have moms driving for hours to get to the object. Most moms don't have the time to do that. And a lot of moms don't have the money to do that either. And then after they have the baby, they're not going back for any kind of checkup. For those of you who know who've had a baby, what's the standard of care? They say come back in six weeks. It's not a good idea. You all know how precarious those precious few weeks are. You need help sooner than that. And by the way, not all this care has to be done by an object. It can be done with doulas and nurses and midwives, folks in your community, they can work with a doctor. As Dr. Oz said, there is virtual care. The solutions really do exist. And now is the time to get serious about this stuff and scale it. So we are uniting business leaders with policymaker health care providers, faith leaders. We believe there's a great opportunity for faith leaders to play a bigger role in taking care of big babies postpartum. And I'm just grateful to be here. I really believe. I know you're meeting with the generals, and we appreciate you keeping our country safe. Investing in maternal healthcare is the most strategic investment we can make in the future of American prosperity.

[Senator Katie Britt]

That's right.

[Olivia Walton]

So thank you.

[Donald J. Trump]

Hey, Tom. She did very well. What do you think? I'd give her 10, maybe a 12. I'll give her 12 every. So when is she running for office? You know the nice thing I just listen to as Olivia, she's so respected and she doesn't need this. She doesn't need to come here and go and she goes around and checks hospitals and does things. She really doesn't need it at all. She could be doing anything she wants. Anything. And I think it's fantastic. And thank you very much.

[Monique Pruitt]

It's very kind of you.

[Senator Katie Britt]

Thank you.

[Donald J. Trump]

Thank you very much. Really beautiful.

[Olivia Walton]

Thank you.

[Donald J. Trump]

Okay, we have Dr. Fink. Where's.

[Dr. Dorothy Fink]

Oh, yes, right here.

[Donald J. Trump]

Dr. Fink has.

[Dr. Dorothy Fink]

So good to see you.

[Donald J. Trump]

Nice to see you. Go ahead.

[Dr. Dorothy Fink]

Well, thank you, Mr. President, for your ongoing support of maternal and infant health. We recognize that the health

[Olivia Walton]

connected.

[Dr. Dorothy Fink]

That's why we launched the Perinatal Improvement Collaborative during the first Trump administration, an effort that has continued to this day to improve health outcomes for moms and babies. Through this nationwide network of hospitality hospitals, we are using real data and proven clinical practices to protect mothers and newborns. In the Perinatal Improvement Collaborative hospitals, we have reduced maternal mortality by 41.5%, which is truly incredible. And this is compared with the 5.9% decline in benchmark hospitals over the same period of time. Our goal is to have every hospital on a doing this. And we're thrilled to be partnering with Heartland Forward to make this happen. We really want every woman to have a healthy delivery and a healthy baby and to make the United States the healthiest place in the world to give birth. Yes. And I'll also add in that you all and the Trump administration have taken strength and support for American mothers and families with the launch of Mom Sucko, highlighting all of the policy achievements that have advanced to support moms and babies. Moms.gov is a first of its kind resource that offers all sorts of guidance and information to support the health and well being of mothers and their families. Moms.gov also really helps support expecting parents who are navigating difficult or unexpected pregnancies. We are committed to supporting women, women's health throughout motherhood and at every stage of life. Supporting women's health is not just a policy, it's a promise. Mothers help build healthy families and that healthy families build a healthy. So I want to thank you, Mr. President, Secretary Kennedy and everyone here for your support of women's health.

[Donald J. Trump]

Thank you, doctor. Very much.

[Dr. Dorothy Fink]

Thank you.

[Donald J. Trump]

Well done. It's well done. Dr. Adams, please, about child care.

[Dr. Alex Adams]

Thank you, Mr. President. This mother's Day, we recognize the reality for millions of Americans and that's child care has become too expensive, too difficult to find, and too disconnected from the needs of working families. For years, Washington's answer has always been the same. More bureaucracy, more mandates, and higher costs for everyone. President Trump, you are taking a different approach. Under your leadership, we're advancing a child care reform package that puts parents, parents back in charge. We're going to do three primary things. First, we're restoring parental choice. That means bringing faith based providers back to the table. And it means recognizing the vital role played by home based providers, relatives and parents who choose to stay home during the earliest years of their children's lives. Second, we are cutting unnecessary red tape. Red tape that forced providers to close limited access to care and made it harder for working families to find the support they needed. We're moving away from one size fits all federal mandates and instead empowering parents to meet their child's unique needs. And then third, we're strengthening accountability to ensure taxpayer dollars are protected from fraudsters. Under the Biden administration, they essentially backed the Brinks truck up to states and sent the security home. We think Americans deserve better. We, we will ensure that these funds go to families who truly need support. Our goal is simple, more affordable options, more providers, more choices for parents, and more accountability for taxpayers. Mr. President, your pro family agenda recognizes a simple, strong families build a strong nation. And if I could just add on a personal note, Mr. President, I want to thank you for your leadership and everybody up here for their leadership on fertility issues. My beautiful baby girl, Emerson is a product of ivf and I thank you for your leadership on that issue and sharing the joy of parenthood with many, many more American families. Thank you, sir.

[Donald J. Trump]

Well, thank you very much, Doctor. It's great to know it's been really successful under this administration. And again, Katie, you were so helpful. Bobby, do you have something to say?

[Bobby]

Very, very briefly, Mr. President, I just wanted to stress how what a huge win for the Maha movement and for the Pro Life Movement, moms.gov is. It is one stop shopping for IVF, for prenatal care, for postnatal care, nutrition, for baby formula, and of course, for Trump Rx. We have, as Dr. Oz pointed out, a fertility crisis in this country. Right now, we just found out that we've dropped out of 1.57% and the replacement rate is 2.1. 100 years ago, we were at 3.27, so more than double that we are today. We are approaching the cataclysmic rates that Japan and China are now experiencing that is threatening their economy. It's a threat not only to our economy, to our national security, It's a direct threat to our Social Security trust fund, to the Medicare trust fund. President Trump has directed my agency to find out the cause of the fertility crisis. And as part of this program, we're looking at the impact of metabolic challenges which directly affect fertility, of obesity, which affects fertility, of endocrine disruptors, of pesticides, of this toxic soup that our young women are walking around today to try to figure it out. The fertility crisis for Women began in 2007 for men. In 1970, men had twice the sperm count as our teenagers do today. This is an existential crisis for our country. We had a series of presidents that were trying to discourage childbirth and motherhood in this country. We now have a president that is trying to encourage it. And I want to thank you again for your leadership.

[Donald J. Trump]

Thank you very much, Bobby. And there's another word, autism, that we're very much involved with. And I have my own ideas, but Oz and Bobby and everybody, they're really focused on it very hard, I think, in a certain way. You know, I would like you to look at the payment schedules, Bobby, because I think it's. I think it's very skewed because of the payment schedules. You understand what I mean? Yes.

[Secretary Kennedy]

We're bringing you some ideas.

[Donald J. Trump]

I think it has to be. I think it's crazy. I think that's what's happening. Can't. Can't pay more for that to a doctor. I mean, every. Every person around is going to have autism. That's what's happening. So I really believe that that's very badly skewed. But more importantly, Frank, but I would like that done immediately. But more importantly, I think that some great progress has been made as to why, you know, what is this thing that's happening all over the world but here, what is it, what's going on? And there has to be something because, you know, it spiked so much over the last 10 years. It's spiked over the last 15 years. It's gone up many, many times. And I think it's a very important thing to mention. I mention it all the time. Having to do with other subjects. Then I bring in autism. Anything having to do with medical, I always bring in autism. On another topic, we're looking very seriously at Natural7 oh, and getting that approved. Natural7 oh. And we'll take a look at that very strongly. I think Oz and everybody were looking to see if we can do something there. A lot of people are asking for it. And thank you very much for the work on that. And with that, do you have any questions?

[Secretary Kennedy]

Mr. President, you mentioned that you were going to be meeting with the generals on Iran. You rejected a deal from Iran over the weekend. Can you tell us anything about that proposal?

[Donald J. Trump]

And what, if any action was made

[Stephen K. Bannon]

to break this deal?

[Donald J. Trump]

It was just unacceptable. You know, a lot of people said, well, does he have a plan? Yeah, of course I do have a plan. I have the best plan ever. I mean, Iran is been defeated militarily, totally. They have a little left they probably built up during this period of time. We'll knock that out in about a day. But I have a plan. You know what? It is a very simple plan. I don't know why you don't say it like it is. Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. They're very dangerous, they're very volatile. It's a terrible thing that's happened over there. They've killed 42,000 people in the last two months. 42,000 at least that's what we know of. 42,000 people. They killed numerous people over the last week, but they killed 42,000 people a month ago. A month and a half ago. They were unarmed protesters, not at all violent protesters, and they started taking them out, shooting them. So we're not going to let them. That's the plan. You know, people say, what's the plan? The plan is very simple. The blockade, first of all was a part of military genius, just like Venezuela was military genius. We have the greatest military in the world by far, and we're stocked up with great ammunition. We have much better stuff than we did two months ago when we first did the attack, which knocked him for a loop, but very simple. Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. Can have it. And if they did have it. The Middle east would be gone, Israel would be gone and then hit Europe probably next. We're doing the service to the world. And this has gone on for 47 years. Other presidents and leaders of other countries that have the power should have done it, but they didn't do it. But it's a very simple plan. Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon and they won't have a nuclear weapon. And they didn't, Mr. President, and they didn't want to go that far. You can, can believe it. They didn't. How stupid are they? Stupid people. They didn't want to believe it. They think that, well, I'll get tired of this or I'll get bored or I'll have some pressure. But there's no pressure. There's no pressure at all. We're going to have a complete victory. We've already in theory had a complete victory from the military standpoint. The military, look, their navy is dead. They have 150. They had 159 ships right now they have zero. Other than little speedboats that go around. They got taken out eight a day by us. They have no air force, they have no anti aircraft. Now they probably put the shoulder jobs into service over the last three weeks, probably. But essentially they have no anti aircraft, they have no radar and frankly their leaders have been killed at the first level, second level and half of the third level. And then they come back and they want to negotiate and they give us a stupid, it's a stupid proposal and nobody would take it. Although Obama would have taken it, Biden would have taken it. What they took was far worse. So we stopped him twice. We stopped him when I terminated the worst deal probably ever made in the history of our country in terms of defense. That was the Iran nuclear deal by Barack, penned by Barack Hussein Obama that would have given Iran a nuclear nuclear weapon within a year. They would have had it years ago. I terminated that in my first term. And then when that beautiful plane right there hit them hard, we really hit them hard. And they told me, I want to just tell you this because they like to say, oh well, maybe it wasn't that hard to hit. Iran told me very strongly because they intend to give us the nuclear dust, as I call it. It's easier than talking about other terms because it's a term everyone but the nuclear deaths, which is what we hit. They told me, number one, you're getting it, but you're going to have to take it out because the site was so obliterated that there's Only one or two countries in the world that could get it. It's so deep and got hit so hard that there's no way they have the equipment to move it. You and China are the only two countries in the world that could take it out. So we talked about it and they said, you'll have to take it out because we don't have the capability of doing it. So for those people that like to say that those great pilots in those great planes, well, we just ordered 22 more of them, new and improved. That those great pilots didn't do their job, they did their job. At one o' clock in the morning with no moon, no light, no nothing. Every single bomb hit its targets. And then, as you know, we shot some incredible things, things that nobody else has. Nobody has a military like we have. We shot the Tomahawks from a submarine 200 miles away, and that went on top of it. But every one of those, including the Tomahawks, every one of those weapons and shots hit perfectly. And they said to me, just to put it on the record, they said to me, there are only two countries in the entire world that could ever get that stuff out of there because we don't have the equipment. And nobody else. They said China and the United States. So I just want to let you know those pilots did an unbelievable job, very dangerous job. At one o' clock in the morning. Think of it. No, no moon, no nothing. We had no light, purposely. And every single one of those bombs went right down an air chute in a granite mountain and exploded. And they are unable to get it even if they wanted to. But we're not going to take a chance. So that's part of the deal. So you said Iranians agreed to allow the removal of all their enriched uranium. Well, they did. Two days ago. They didn't. Okay, they did. Two days ago. They said, you're going to have to take it. We were going to go with them, but they changed their mind because they didn't put it in the paper. So when they sent us this document that we waited four days for, that should have taken ten minutes to do. Look, very simple. We get that they guarantee no nuclear weapons for a very long period of time and a couple of other minor things, but they just can't get there. So they agree with us and then they take it back. We just, they said to us that it was so badly, obliterated was the word they actually used. That was my original word that it got challenged by some of the fake news, but. And it wasn't challenged with any knowledge. It was just challenged like they were hoping that this wouldn't have been so successful. No, it was obliterated. We have the greatest military in the world. I built it largely in my first term, and I didn't know I'd be using it quite this much in my second term. But very simply, when they say, does he have a plan? Yeah, I have a plan. The plan is very simple. You know, in war you have to change. You have to be flexible. You have a lot of plans, but you have to do different plans in different days. But I have a great plan. But the plan is they cannot have a nuclear weapon. And they didn't say that in their letter. Mr. President. Mr. President, you should change his that

[Secretary Kennedy]

you've talked about in Iran.

[Donald J. Trump]

Is this still a leadership that you believe you can negotiate with can ultimately reach a peace? Well, you have two. You have the moderates and you have the lunatics. And I think the moderates are more respected. The lunatics want to fight till the end. You know, there will be a very, it will be a very quick fight. But I call them. You have, just like our country, we have, we have lunatics, too. We have, I call them lunatics. I call them stupid people, too. But in Iran, they have the moderates that dying to make a deal. And then you have the lunatics. And I guess they're a little bit afraid of the lunatics, but. And why not? The level of ferocity for protests, you know, the people are watching it. They want to go out on the streets. They have no weapons. They have no guns. We thought the Kurds were going to give us weapons, but the Kurds disappointed us. The Kurds, take, take, take. They have a great reputation in Congress. Congress says, oh, they fight so hard. No, they fight hard when they get paid. So I'm very disappointed in the Kurds. But they were given. I said it wasn't going to work, by the way. I just have to say it. I disagreed with what they did. They gave it. I said, they'll never get there. And I was right. I like to be right. In this case, too bad. But we sent some guns with ammunition and they were supposed to be delivered, but they kept it. I said they're going to keep it. But what do I know? I've only been doing this a short period of time. What Do I know? Mr. Time Being, the ceasefire remains in place. What?

[Secretary Kennedy]

For the time being, the ceasefire remains in place.

[Donald J. Trump]

It's unbelievably weak, I would say. I would call it the weakest right now. After reading that piece of garbage they sent us, I didn't even finish reading it. I said, I'm not going to waste my time reading it. I would say it's one of the weakest right now. It's on life support. They understand. These are all medical people. Dr. Oz, life support is not a good thing. Do you agree? Very prognostic. I would say the ceasefire is on massive life support, where the doctor walks in and says, sir, your loved one has approximately a 1% chance of living. Yeah.

[K]

Mr. President.

[Donald J. Trump]

Daniel, go ahead.

[Olivia Walton]

Yep.

[Donald J. Trump]

One of the best reporters in Washington.

[K]

Thank you, sir. Dr. Oz referenced this a little early, two questions on healthcare, but, Ken, the Council of Economic Advisers released a report saying that the most favored nation drug deals will generate about $529 billion in domestic savings over the next 10 years across all markets. How transformative and makes people better. Yeah, it does. How transformative are these deals for millions of Americans? And do you believe that the most favored nation drug deals are the Republicans, golden ticket to the midterms?

[Donald J. Trump]

I think the Republicans should walk away with the midterms. Now, typically, whoever is president, they vote the other way. Nobody knows this. Do we have a psychiatrist in the grid? Nobody knows. Why? Because I think we've had the best president. A lot of people have said, even some radical left lunatics have said that we've had the best presidency, the best first year of any president. Look, I stopped eight wars, got the largest tax cuts in history, the largest regulation cuts in history. All the things we've done, so many like all of this that we've done medically, we've done so much. You know, we did a thing called right to try. And I could never understand it. When I was a civilian, which wasn't so long ago, I haven't been doing it that long. But I always used to marvel at the fact that if they had a great drug and it had to go through the fda, and the FDA guarded it and said, you can't use it. And if a person was terminally ill and the drug was showing great promise, the person's terminally ill, they wouldn't give it to the person because they didn't want to hurt the person. And I said, well, we need something. And it was very important to me. And I had no idea it would be so hard to get. But we got it in total, we got it in full. It's called right to try. That if you're terminally ill, you have the right to try a drug that has not gone even anywhere near final if it shows even a little promise. And we've saved thousands of lives. It was very hard to get because the insurance companies didn't want it. The doctors didn't want it because the doctors didn't want to be blamed. The drug companies didn't want it because if it didn't work, they didn't want it on their record. So what we did is we said, we're not going to count it on your record. If somebody is terminally ill and they take the drug doesn't work, we're not going to count it on your record. We'll have another record, you know, a little smaller one that not a lot of people look at. But we're not going to count it on your record. So Right To Try has been one of the great successes. Again, nobody talks about about, we've saved thousands of lives, Oz. But you know what is maybe even more important? We've learned very quickly that some drugs work and some drugs don't. In other words, some drugs take a person who's terminally ill. And there are numerous cases and without waiting 7 years, 10 years, by the way, we think we've cut it in half. But you do need a period of time without waiting many, many years. We know the drug works because we've taken people that were dead. We had a person given the last rights gone, the kids are crying and started them on this drug and the person became better. It works, you know, and some don't work, but you learn really fast. It's called the ultimate test, I think, right? You know, they test all these things. They use animals all over the place. They used everything to test person's going to die. So they didn't want it because they didn't want to be sued for, you know, the drug companies didn't want to be sued. If it didn't work, the country didn't want to be sued. So I got everybody into a room and I said, we're going to do this, but if anybody uses it, they have to sign a document. They sign a very strong document that they're not going to sue the doctor, they're not going to sue the country, they're not going to suit sue the manufacturer, the pharmaceutical company. They're not going to sue anybody. But we're going to give it a shot. It has been right to try has been so successful. It's been amazing. Nobody talks about it, but everyone knows how successful it is.

[Secretary Kennedy]

Mr. President, there was a young man that we visited on actually in Los Angeles who's taking advantage of this program. Katie actually spoke to him by phone from Alabama, that he reached out to you directly. And this is the same program that benefited him. And just to put numbers on the council economic advisors, it's between, you know, 500 and whatever it was, 30 million that you said and $700 billion in savings. So we estimate a $600 billion in total savings. And the impact on The American people, Mr. President, is one in three Americans leave a drugstore without their medication because they can't afford it. Even though they got a doctor's prescription, they know they can make a difference in their lives. That will no longer happen with the most favored nation drug pricing. And we're giving drugs like, as you call it, the fat shot, the, the weight loss drugs to all beneficiaries of Medicare. Every senior in America can get them for $50 starting on July 1st. These are just inconceivably good prices. And they're so good, in fact, that we actually save the taxpayer money by reducing the downstream effects of obesity, diabetes and hypertension. Mr. President, all possible because you took brave action. And again, the question we should be asking ourselves is why did that, why didn't this happen a decade ago? Katie, what do you think about that

[Senator Katie Britt]

young lady that he is. He has a new lease on hope and it's because of you. I talked to his parents and they said, we feel so good about our country that we literally have The President and Dr. Oz and Secretary Kennedy doing everything possible to give our son a fighting chance. They said before, you know, no one was listening but you, Mr. President, took action. And Will Roberts, that is such a. He is such a great young man. He inspired so many people.

[Donald J. Trump]

Nobody talks about thousands of people, but it's also like this incredible laboratory of people that are. They're finished, they're terminally ill, they're not going to live. And we weren't given. And this went on for years. You know, this went on. Madam Secretary, you're doing such a good job with prices, agriculture. How's the beef, though? We got to get the beef down. We're working on it. It's the only thing we've got to get the beef. Duck. But this was so incredible because. And I marveled at it for 30 years. I'd say, why. I'd have friends that were terminally ill. You'd meet people, they were really in bad shape. They weren't going to make it. And they couldn't get a drug that looked like it was going to work. They couldn't get it. They asked me to get it. You have contacts. Could you get it? You couldn't get it. You go to jail. And they were going to die. They'd die three weeks later, four weeks later. And we're saving a lot of people that were gone that were terminally ill. And what we're doing is producing almost immediately. You know, you can almost immediately approve these drugs. But it was very, you know, look, legally it was a disaster because everybody would be sued. The problem is somebody would die. And then they blame the drug. And then the drug company gets sued, the doctors, the country gets sued if a member of the family goes crazy. And you're settling for millions of dollars because you killed somebody that was going to be dead in two weeks. So I did that and I'm very proud of it. The other thing doctor mentioned the fat drug. So think of it. $87 it would sell in London and $1,300 in New York for the exact same box made. I won't name the company made by the same company in the same facility. $87 in London, $87 in Heidelberg, $87 in Paris, $1,370 in New York. And this went on for a long time. And I always say, you know, he could be a famous guy. He's begging me not to release. Sustained. He's a very highly neurotic, very fat. Sort of a fat slob I would call him, but he's a brilliant man. We know many of those people. He's a brilliant guy, actually. But he said, president, what the hell is going on here? He didn't need the money. He's rich as hell. But he just couldn't understand why he had to pay so little in London. He went to London and he couldn't understand it. He said, this is great. And it actually motivated me in a certain way because he was very smart. He did a study, he actually sent his people and he traced this medicine and he found out it was the box. Here is the same box as he had in New York. It was made in the same plant and it cost, you know, 10 times more here than it did in London. And that there are worse stories than that. And I said, that's it. It's over. Going to do it. That got me really motivated. He's begging me not to release his name because he is a well known person. And I so destroyed his reputation in terms of his physicality that he just doesn't want me. I said, you know, you've had a big impact on medicine. Because you got. You got to be better than any normal person could have, you know, he said, no, I don't want. Okay, yeah, please. But what do you hope to get out of the summit in China? And how much has the war in Iran changed the agenda? Look, I have a great relationship with President Xi. We're doing a lot of business, but it's smart business. We used to be taken advantage of for years with our previous presidents, and now we're doing great with China. We make a lot of money with China. I have a great relationship with President Xi. And I think you can see that with the fact that in Hormuz, they get a big percentage of 40% of their oil from homosexuals. There's been no ships coming in, no nasty ships coming in that we end up in skirmishes with. There's been. He'd like to see it get done. He doesn't want to see. I'll tell you what. Look, I respect him a lot, and hopefully he respects me. He didn't respect our previous government, that I can tell you. The guy couldn't talk. It was ridiculous how that ever happened. Our country has hurt so badly the last four years. You know, I say it all the time. It was the king of Saudi Arabia. But everybody says we were a dead country a year and a half ago, and now we're the hottest country anywhere in the world. And you know that better than anybody. You know, you see that? Olivia sees that. You see it in the numbers. Look at the numbers. Look at the stock market. The stock market is now higher than it was when this war started. So I thought that would go down 20, 25%. I was. It was fine. You know, I'm willing to. I'm willing to say, terrible expression. Take a bullet. It's a terrible expression, especially when it's used by me.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

This is the war room. We are passing the baton over to the Charlie Kirk Show. We're going to stay in the Oval with the President, United States, obviously. We are going to be back here at 5 o'.

[Donald J. Trump]

Clock.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

We will see you then.

[Donald J. Trump]

The lunatics having a nuclear weapon. I deal with them. I deal with them. I say it to them. I say, you people are crazy. I deal with them. They talk differently. I say, you're crazy. You're crazy people. You're nuts. You're not having a nuclear weapon. They think they can talk me into it and they don't do very well with it, but they know how I feel. They can't have a nuclear weapon. They would use it within an hour. After getting it, if the Obama deal wasn't terminated by me, they would have had it six years ago, and they would have used it immediately on Israel and also the rest of the Middle East. You saw that when they started shooting rockets. Nobody thought Saudi Arabia and Qatar and UAE were going to get hit. Or Kuwait, Bahrain. I think it was a tremendous strategic mistake and they wasted those missiles. We have the Patriots that knocked them down every time, you know, we had. I told this story we have. We were shot at. One of our great assets happened to be a ship. Great ship. 111 missiles going at very high rates of speed, sophisticated equipment, and, you know, that's all they did is build missiles. Thousands of missiles. Who asks who does this except for people that are looking for trouble? We had 111 shot at one of our ships over a very short period of time. Out of 111 missiles going at 3,000 miles an hour. All 111 missiles were knocked down into the ocean prior, long prior to arriving at the target. And the cool guys, the coolest guys are the guys that do this. You know, they're not brawn, they're brain. They sit back. Missile shot. You've got to sit it happening. Missiles coming. They got like about 13 seconds to make a decision. It's not like, gee, let's figure it out. They make a wrong calculation. You know, you lose some. A lot of men. A lot of men and a lot of billion dollars times ten ships. So. But there's a level of coolness that missile shot meant. They look, baa ba ba ba ba ba ba, and you know, they're going to heading 47 degrees north, 1300ft, going 3000 miles an hour. Okay, we have it in our side fire. Boom. 10 seconds left. Let me tell you, they need smart people. These people are smart, and they're so smart that they're cool. You know, the calculations for some people are very tough. Tough for other people, not so tough. There's, you know, about 1%. There's not too many. There's not too many people around like that. I say, I call. A lot of times I'll call these gunners because they're phenomenal geniuses, you know. Where did you go to school? I went to mit. Where did you go to school? I went to the best schools. Smart. You got to be smart. We have the greatest military in the world.

[Monique Pruitt]

Okay, President, back to motherhood.

[Donald J. Trump]

You're one big beautiful bill. I like that. Because this is about motherhood, not about the beautiful country of Iran. Go ahead.

[Monique Pruitt]

Thank you all for being here.

[Senator Katie Britt]

You're one big beautiful bill.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

Okay, can we talk about what's really happening right now? New data shows financial stress is at an all time high. Millions of Americans are at a breaking point. Debt maxed out, no extra money, no room to breathe. And this isn't just lower income households anymore. Middle class families are hitting their limits too. This isn't about reckless spending. Everyday people are running out of options. So if debt has been weighing on you, you're not alone. And when it comes to debt, waiting usually makes it worse. Interest piles up.
