Speaker 1

00:00

What do you do? Coming on. The White House investigation into Senator

Karoline Leavitt

00:30

Mark Kelly. And I think what Senator Mark Kelly was actually trying to do is intimidate the 1.3 million active duty service members who are currently serving in our United States Armed Forces. That video that he and his Democratic colleagues put out, Senator Mark Kelly well well knows the rules of the military and the respect that one must have from Change command and that all lawful, all orders, lawful workers are presumed to be legal by our service members. You can't

Speaker 1

00:57

have a functioning military if there is disorder and chaos within the ranks, and that's what these Democrat members were encouraging. It's very clear, and not a single one of them can point to a single illegal order that this administration has taken down, because it does not exist. They knew what they were doing in this

Unknown Speaker

01:21

video. And Senator Kelly and all of you,

Karoline Leavitt

01:22

no because Lindsay calligan was legally adjoining, and that's the administration's position. I know there was a judge who was clearly trying to shield Leticia James and James Comey from receiving accountability, and that's why they took this unprecedented action, following the guidance on Nancy. And

Unknown Speaker

01:53

it is our position this president

Karoline Leavitt

01:57

come to the United States this week. Speak. So there are no plans at this moment in time. As you know, things can change very quickly around here, so we'll keep you all applies, but there's no meeting scheduled right now. As for where we are, I spoke with Secretary Rubio. I think I spoke with the President as well. Everybody inside feels optimistic about what happened in transpired yesterday. Really worked through the points of that 28 point peace plan that the United States authored, with input from both sides, the Russians and the Ukrainians. And ultimately, the vast majority of these points have been agreed upon. The Ukrainians have worked on language with us together, and you heard that from their delegation directly yesterday. So we feel as though we're in a very good place. Of course, we have to make sure that all of these points are agreed to. And then, of course, we're going to have to make sure the other party in this war, the Russians, agree to them as well. But I think the President deserves a great deal of credit for the amount of energy and effort he's put into trying to bring these two sides to an end. He wants to see this killing stop. As for any deadlines, he wants to see this end as

Unknown Speaker

03:16

soon as possible. Excuse

Speaker 1

03:21

me, I'm answering your question. And looked at me. I'm sorry I turned and looked at you because you're yelling. I will take a question from your colleague, and then I'll take your question.

Speaker 1

03:34

I don't want to detail sort of the technical talks that are happening right now, but there are just a couple, and we're confident was the President put pressure on

Unknown Speaker

03:42

putting

Karoline Leavitt

03:44

a lot of pressure on both leaders this entire time. We've been talking with both sides. He's been talking to both leaders directly for 10 months now. So yes, you can expect that pressure to continue.

Speaker 2

03:58

The President wants this morning is the President more determined now, since the judges will lose today, to go after James told

Karoline Leavitt

04:06

me and do so that I wouldn't say he's going after them, I think the President is more determined ever to seek accountability in this country and to correct the laws of the weaponization of our justice

Unknown Speaker

04:20

system that We saw under the previous administration. Are we

Karoline Leavitt

04:22

in bringing and what does that entail? Well, as the President is so good at I'll try to be just as good. I'm not going to broadcast any actions that may or may not be happening with respect to Venezuela. I know I've been very clear about the administration's position, as has the President and his national security team. We view the Maduro regime should be illegitimate, and the President has been very satisfied with the successful strikes against Narco terrorists and foreign terrorists that are illegally trafficking drugs towards the United States of America. He's not going to tolerate that, and you

Unknown Speaker

04:59

can expect to see the guidance

Unknown Speaker

05:02

against the

Karoline Leavitt

05:02

his reaction was, we've seen this before. We've seen partisan judges take unprecedented steps to try to intervene in accountability before, but we're not going to give up, and I know that the Department of Justice intends to appeal these rulings

Unknown Speaker

05:19

very soon, if they haven't already

Unknown Speaker

05:21

one question open as well. Former

Unknown Speaker

05:30

Brazilian President spoke with his gentleman? Did he speak with

Speaker 3

05:39

Mosul way before he was arrested? Not to my language. Back to there's meetings on a page of topics inside this building, all of the term the President is constantly apprised of what's going on in the world, what's going on in reviews. And

Unknown Speaker

06:03

he's very well written. How flexible is

Unknown Speaker

06:13

the president?

Speaker 4

06:40

I want to ask you, is it Magda to support American workers being replaced with each one visa? Visa holders are Americans not capable of filling most of these positions. I know the President mentioned that he wanted to bring in some workers that he could eventually send back in regards to the

Unknown Speaker

06:59

President does not support

Unknown Speaker

07:05

his character. Said the

Speaker 3

07:09

President wants to see revitalize that one. That's part of him doing his effective use of tariffs. That's why he's recruited

Speaker 5

07:20

to our country. Those are creating good, paying American jobs right here at home. As for the HMP visa issue, the President has a very nuanced and common sense issue. He wants to see foreign companies are investing trillions of dollars in the United States of America, and they're bringing foreign business with them to create very niche things like batteries.

Unknown Speaker

07:40

He wants to see that at the beginning, to get those

Speaker 1

07:49

manufactured facilities and those factories up and running, but ultimately, the President always wants to see

Speaker 5

07:55

his accomplishments. And he's told these foreign tech companies that are investing here, you better be hiring

Unknown Speaker

08:02

my people.

Speaker 5

08:02

I won't get into the details of the conversation this morning, other than what the President put

Karoline Leavitt

08:11

out on true social he put out his own readout of that, and I will leave it to that, but I did speak with him about the call. It lasted about an hour, and it was a very positive call. The focus of the call was really Russia, Ukraine did come up,

Speaker 5

08:25

but the focus was mainly on the trade deal that we are working on China and those relations and how they are moving in a positive direction. President also addressed farmers, and we are pleased with what we've seen

Karoline Leavitt

08:37

from from the Chinese, if they feel the same way. And the president, President Xi discussed continuing to stay in correspondence on

Speaker 2

08:45

Ukraine, does the progress that you just laid out change the Thanksgiving deadline, or does the President still want to support And then on the Comey and James, does the President still have options?

Karoline Leavitt

09:05

Absolutely, he does to your second question as for your first question. With respect to the deadline, the President wants to see this deal come together as

Unknown Speaker

09:18

quickly as possible. He trusts that

Speaker 6

09:21

his team is doing everything they can today. And is he in favor of Israel blocking this ballot from growing Iran strikes specifically. But of course, the President's defend

Speaker 7

09:40

himself and to take out any care. Healthcare costs, will that include the extension of the Obamacare subsidies?

Speaker 1

09:49

I know there's been a lot of reporting on this from yourself, I will tell you

Unknown Speaker

09:55

that healthcare is a topic of

Karoline Leavitt

09:59

discussion that's happening very frequently. The President's very President is very much involved in these talks, and he's very focused on failing a health care proposal that will fix the system and will bring down costs for consumers. As for the details of those discussions, I'll let the President speak for himself. As you all know, sometimes you report things and then President Trump comes out with an announcement, and those things are not always true. From what you hear from sources, I think talking is cheap, and I think that the President is going to judge ndani

Unknown Speaker

10:35

by his actions that he

Unknown Speaker

10:37

takes New York. The meeting was positive last week, and I think the fact that the President is willing to meet with

Speaker 1

10:47

somebody who said those types of things about him shows that he really is interested

Speaker 3

10:52

in being a president for all Americans, regardless of where they live or who their leader is. He wants what's best for New York. He loves New York City. He helped build the skyline, and spent his whole life there, and so he really wants to see you do well.

Speaker 2

11:04

That's how that meeting played last week. Excellent Caroline. Here are a few Republican senators who are critical these plans, including Senator

Speaker 8

11:18

pounds, Senator Graham, Senator model. What do you say that this is giving too much away to Russia, and has Russia made any concessions as it relates to a peace on hospitals? Concerning anyone point any threats to the work of the Ukrainians yesterday, which they said they feel

Unknown Speaker

11:30

very positive, you have been very involved in

Speaker 9

11:42

action. Any idea, the idea that

Karoline Leavitt

11:52

the United States of America was a complete and total fallacy, and I saw a lot of misinformation and rumors and allegations against people in this building, such as Secretary Rubio, especially the President himself, that they are favoring one side that could not be further from the truth. I have watched as the President and his team have worked around the clock overnight with both sides on endless phone points, endless meetings to try to bring this towards Any suggestion otherwise is a complete misunderstanding of the facts. It's coming from people who have no idea what they're talking about, or people who are pushing their own agenda, or maybe people who don't want to see this work, and I don't know, maybe they're profiting off of it. Maybe they benefit from it in some way, but nobody in this building benefits you, and that's what the President and his team are probably working to do. And I think the critics should just take a step back and think about what happened originally. There were a lot of doubters, and we got the hostages out, and this President secured a peace deal that still exists and is ongoing today, so everyone should respect the work. We.
