There's so much Donald Trump has done over the past 24 hours that is absolutely despicable. I don't want to lose sight of the fact that he claims he wasn't even briefed about the four American soldiers who died in Lithuania yesterday. Donald Trump was holding his Oval Office press conference. He was asked, hey, did Pete Hegseth your Secretary of Defense brief you on this? And Donald Trump cavalierly said I don't know anything about it and seemed not to even care. Have you been briefed about the soldiers in Lithuania who are missing?
- [02:35]
Donald Trump
No I haven't.

What a despicable response. And what are you doing in the day if you are not even being briefed that four American soldiers died? Could you imagine for a moment what this would be like if former President Biden responded that way. Let me brief you, Donald. Four American soldiers who went missing in Lithuania have died, NATO leader says NATO Secretary General Mark Rut said Wednesday that four U.S. soldiers who went missing while training in Lithuania have died, but that he did not yet know the details. Maybe, Donald, that's something that you should be paying attention to instead of announcing another round of tariffs, this time tariffing automobiles across the world and crashing our economy. How about you care about our veterans? How about you care about our troops? Or are you and Elon Musk too busy with Doge firing veterans, destroying and gutting Veterans affairs, engaging in a hostile takeover of our federal government, getting rid of essential services related to Social Security, gutting Medicaid, gutting the Department of Education. Oh, and by the way, your top Department of Defense officials and national security officials apparently are in text threads giving war plans to a reporter who they included on a chat called the Houthi Chat, destroying our national secrets. While by the way, one of your envoys who was on that chat was in Moscow. More on that in a bit. But we're also alerting that Hegseth Walls Gabbard have also their private data and passwords easily accessible online. Dare Spiegel wrote an incredible article here about how private data and passwords of these senior US Security officials were found online. Also from Daniel Buckus Law. He explains how Michael Waltz's Venmo was public until moments ago and it's full of reporters. Public full of journalists. You know how Michael Waltz Donald Trump's national security bars like I never met before. Jeffrey Goldberg Remember what Jeffrey Goldberg, the editor in chief of the Atlantic who was included on those text threads, said it didn't surprise me that Mike Waltz would include me on something. But to be included on this, why? Because clearly Waltz is a source for people like the Atlantic. It has lots of reporters, even on his Venmo. Let's talk about the tariffs. Yesterday, Donald Trump said that he was putting 25% tariffs on all automobiles across the world. He says basically with no exceptions, as the Detroit Free Press rights tariffs threatened to cut US auto sales by 700,000 in 2025amid recession uncertainty. Also, the price of a vehicle will now likely go up 5, 10, $15,000, which for all purposes means vehicles are not going to be sold and that's going to further tank the economy. I'm going to do a whole other video about how Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney rightfully says this is a direct attack on Canada and others across the World are feeling the same now when you turn on your phone or when you turn on the Internet in the morning or whereas you used to get headlines under former President Biden like the American economy is the envy of the world. New records being set in the Dow and the S and p and NASDAQ GDP hits record growth. America Energy Independent 50,000 infrastructure projects going up. America defeating China in the race for green energy and world economy when you would get head. Now you get headlines like this Business Insider. Here's how far stocks could drop if a full blown recession strikes. And yesterday was a disaster for the market. And who knows what today is going to hold as yet another day of Trump's chaotic and disastrous policies take effect. But yesterday Donald Trump was asked, hey, Donald, The NASDAQ is down 2% at close. The S&P was down 1%. And Donald Trump's like, is that today? Is that, what are you doing with your day? Like, actually, what the hell are you doing?
- [07:08]
Political Commentator 2
And on these other tariffs, obviously the NASDAQ 100 go down 2%. Close S&P 500 down 1%.
- [07:15]
Donald Trump
What are you, are you, is that today? I didn't say that. I want to see the jobs I want to see. That'll all take care of itself. That could take care of itself in one day, two days or one week.

I mean, this guy knows nothing about nothing and seems not even to care. He's asked about signal gate, by the way, and what's his response? It's a witch hunt. I think this is a witch hunt. Yeah, those text threads with the reporter, bad reporter, fake news witch hunt.

What's your response to Republican lawmakers who.
- [07:44]
Donald Trump
Have said today that your administration should.

Take more accountability and not downplay what's happened with the signal that we've seen.

In these messages today?
- [07:52]
Donald Trump
Well, I don't know about downplaying. The press upplays it. I think it's all a witch hunt. That's all. I think it's a witch hunt. I wasn't involved with it. I don't, I wasn't there.
- [08:01]
Political Commentator 1
But that's your response to everything. This is a witch hunt. That's a witch hunt. Y'all just could take accountability, fire the people who were involved, make sure this never happens again. But no, this is how you conduct business. You put classified information on signal text threads and then blame the reporter. You put into the chat. Here's, by the way, the moment where Donald Trump announced the 25% tariff.
- [08:27]
Donald Trump
And this is very modest. And what we're going to be doing is a 25% tariff on all cars that are not made in the United States. If they're made in the United States, there's absolutely no tariff. We started off with a 2.5% base, which is what we were at, and we go to 25%. And basically, as you know, and as you've been saying, not reporting as accurately as it should be reported because it's a massive story, business is coming back to the United States so that they don't have to pay tariffs.

And I think, but folks, the Trump regime wants to distract. So what do they do? They send cosplay dog killer Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to El Salvador. So she goes in front of the concentration camps there with the prisoners in El Salvador, mostly all from El Salvador, though the US Kidnapped migrants and sent them to this concentration camp. More on that in a moment. And more on the big court ruling there from the D.C. circuit Court of Appeals. But here, Christine Ohms watch her watch. Look at her watch. She appears to be wearing a $60,000 Rolex as she stands in front of the concentration camp in El Salvador with the people from El Salvador, whoever else is in there. And she's like, look, we got the, look, we got them. We got the terrorists. Look at the terrorists back there here.

At CCOT today and visiting this facility. And first of all, I want to thank El Salvador and their president for their partnership with the United States of America to bring our terrorists here and to incarcerate them and have consequences for the violence that they have perpetuated in our communities.

As Adam Parkamenko goes, Kristi Noem's desperate stunt exploiting foreign prisoners for political fear mongering. I want to talk about some of the migrants quickly that the United States kidnapped and sent to concentration camps in El Salvador. We're learning a lot about their identities. Here's a new report from Mother Jones reporting that one of the men sent to concentration camps in El Salvador is Neri Alvarado who was working in Dallas as a baker. An ICE agent told him in his place, where he's a baker, they were questioning all men with tattoos. Neary has an autism awareness tattoo to honor his 15 year old brother with autism. And on that basis they claimed he's trend day Aragua and they sent him to concentration camps in El Salvador. You'll look at this, no due process at all. He had an autism awareness tattoo. Remember I told you the story over the weekend about Andres, who is the gay makeup artist and hairstylist. You see him right there on the right. And he's a. By the way, all these people are asylum seekers here lawfully under asylum rules and laws, waiting on court appearances, kidnapped by America by the Trump regime and sent to concentration camps. Andres not a gang member, not Trend Aragua. He was sent to concentration camps in El Salvador. We learned the story about the professional soccer player with the Real Madrid tattoo. And I said, oh, that makes you Trend Aragua. He was sent to a concentration camp in El Salvador. No process didn't. Was not able to even show evidence that he was not a gang member. He was called an enemy combatant terrorist, never to be heard from again. May die, may rot to death in a freaking prison in El Salvador because of the authoritarian, despicable Trump regime. We've also told you stories about women who were sent to El Salvador where the El Salvador concentration camps only hold men. Women are not even allowed. So even El Salvador with its brutal authoritarian regime, like, whoa, whoa, whoa, we can't take the women. And we've seen some declarations filed by women talking about their horrific travel where they were told they were going to Venezuela and they were sent to El Salvador. So early yesterday, uh, the Washington D.C. court of Appeals, the D.C. circuit Court of Appeals, in a 2 to 1 ruling, upheld the district court, Judge Boseberg's ruling in joining an injunction blocking the Trump regime from sending more people to El Salvador concentration camps without providing some form of due process. So Trump appealed to the D.C. circuit. He, he lost. They upheld Judge Boasberg's ruling. And all Judge Boasberg said is, look, I'm not even getting into the issue of whether the Alien Enemies act was properly invoked. Assume it was properly invoked. Even though we're not in The War of 1812, World War I or World War II, those were the only other times the Alien Enemies act war powers were ever invoked. So he goes, I don't even need to decide was this a war. And Trump claiming we're at a war. Hybrid warfare with Venezuelan. He says we still have to determine if the people being sent to the concentration camps in El Salvador are actually trend terrorists or not. So you have to provide some process to let them prove that they're not. And court should be able to oversee that. The D.C. circuit Court of Appeals agreed with that. Can I just show you some other evidence? We are a fact based database network. So when you hear all of the spirit spin, oh, these aren't war plans. Let's just take a look at the messages for a second. Here's the group thread that Mike Walls, National Security advisor started. You see it right here. Houthi PC small group, right on signal. That looks like the chats that I have with my, with, with the, with the employees who work at the Midas Touch network. It'll be like Midas Touch Network, small group, chat, videos, editorial team. Right? And so Mike Wall says, team establishing a principles group for coordination on the Houthis. And then look, Michael Walls added you to the group. Chat added Jeffrey Goldberg. Michael Walls added you to the group. So we see how did Jeffrey Goldberg get added Michael Waltz added. Then you go through the chat and you see war plans like this from Pete Hegseth, who talks about the time, dates and locations which planes are going to be used. F18s, F18s, more F18s. They talk about when the bombs are going to drop. They talk about MQ9, second strike starts. It sets forth all of the plans in detail. Well, what does Donald Trump's chief propagandist, Caroline Levitt have to say about all of this? She goes, oh, this is just the media's witch hunt. Also, they're just trying to soak chaos and discord.

But unfortunately, this is not what the Democrats in the media want to talk about. They are focused on a coordinated campaign to try and sow chaos in this White House. And this has been the most successful first two months of any administration ever, which is exactly why they are doing this. We are not going to bend in the face of this insincere outrage.
