Trump describes riots as acts of 'domestic terror'; White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows weighs in.
This is an unofficial transcript meant for reference. Accuracy is not guaranteed.
Kenosha has been ravaged by
Kenosha, has been ravaged by
Anti police and anti american
riots.
Violent mobs destroyed twenty five
businesses and threw bricks at
police officers, which your
police officers wont stand for,
and they didnt stand for it.
These are not acts of peaceful
protests, but really domestic
terror.
Jedediah acts of domestic
terror, strong statement from
the president. There
we are going to bring in mark
meadows, White House chief of
staff to comment on that
mark well to the show. As
always.
So do you agree with the
presidents characterization of
rioters as domestic terrorists?
Well, without a doubt,
you know what a terrorist does
is: try to instill fear go and YO
dont have to go any further
than perhaps even the roads
outside the White House here,
where we have a number of these
rioters, trying to instill fear
just in every day, Americans
lives.
So whether you see it here or as
the president was talking about
in Kenosha Wisconsin,
this is a president that has
been very clear.
Is he going to do two things
make sure our communities are
safe and that we have a secure
future?
And so he is addressing both of
those, as he did yesterday with
the folks in Wisconsin.
Listen, the reception was
unbelievable,
its amazing when you stand up
for safer communities and
support law and order and, more
importantly, our law enforcement
officers, how people of all
parties come together to in a
united way to actually applaud
that
Brian all right
lets talk about coming
together.
You spoke to Nancy Pelosi.
Yesterday,
some type of next rescue
package.
Can you tell us where you are at
negotiation wise? We know
three point: four trillion.
You are one plus trillion.
She said she was going to cut a
trillion off. Her requests
whats the latest.
Well, she still wants to
spend half of the money on
bailing out state and local
governments.
Instead of sending the money to
people, she wants to send almost
one dollar trillion to poorly run
democrat cities across the
country
Brian Mark. Could I ask you
something: would you actually
give money to them and say hey?
This is the earmark
you have to spend it only on
this and not on pension plans
or on can you do that?
We have proposed that, and
actually we have given money for
that
over three hundred dollars billion exactly for
that to help state and local
governments to make sure they
meet the needs of the american
people.
The president has been very
clear on that
and yet its been the
president who continues to reach
out over and over and over
again-
and we agree on a lot of things-
lets go ahead and get a
stimulus check into the hands of
the american people.
Lets do enhanced unemployment
lets make sure that we have
money for education and k
through twelve
and lets make sure that we have
money for small businesses.
We agree on all of that,
so lets go ahead and put a bill
on the floor.
Actually, the Senate Republicans
are going to do that next week,
but Nancy Pelosi continues to
make sure that she stands in the
way of not just Republicans and
main street Americans,
but even a lot of her democrat
members are asking her to come
back to the table and negotiate
in a meaningful way which she is
not
Steve. Speaking of Nancy Pelosi,
the speaker of the house, your
former colleague across the
aisle- she is in the news,
because Fox NEWS got some video
of her on Monday afternoon in
San Francisco
thats her in the smock, and she
got her hair done at the e salon.
Even though indoor personal care
is banned in San Francisco since
March
and there she is not wearing a
mask,
the owner said of it was a slap
in the face that she went in.
You know she feels that she can
just go and get her stuff done,
while no one else can go in and
I cant work.
We are supposed to look up to
this woman right.
It is just disturbing
and her spokesperson said she
always wears a mask and follows
the rules,
and yet, Mr Meadows, it appears
she did not
well listen. This is typical
Washington D, dot c
they get on national tv,
they preach to the american
people that it should be one way
and yet in private, when the
cameras are not rolling- and in
this case I guess the cameras
were rolling. It shows a very
different story.
Its the same thing, whether its
in San Francisco, with her going
into a salon or in the privacy
of a negotiating room, its time
that she get serious about
helping the american people, the
president has been willing to do
it.
In fact, the president is the
only one in Washington D, DOT c
thats acted in the last four
weeks.
We invite her back to the table
to hopefully help the american
people
Steve. Who is cutting your hair,
Mr Meadows
laughter?
Well, can I tell you its a
gal by the name of Kate, a
shoutout to her and all the
folks over there? She is not only
a great patriot,
Steve over where
a great American from South
Korea
Steve. Where is the salon the
barbershop?
Well now we will have all
types of protesters come to my
salon.
We will pass on that
Steve, okay,
Jedediah all right mark.
Another topic we have been
covering this morning. A d dot c
committee has made
recommendations to either
remove, relocate or
contextualize a lot of
monuments, statues,
some of them on the list:
Columbus Fountain,
Benjamin Franklin Statue,
Andrew Jackson, Statue,
Jefferson, Memorial,
the Washington Memorial is on
there George Washington statue.
The list seems to be expanding
day to day this started as a
conversation about confederate
monuments and has pled over.
So what do you make of this
whole new movement to either
remove these monuments or to
contextualize them?
Well, listen. This is the
least serious thing that you
have ever seen come out of
Washington, D, dot c
and also its the least
considered recommendation that
you will ever see
why dont we talk about removing
the protesters from Washington,
D, dot c and sending them back to
wherever they came from or
sending them better yet to
jail.
If we are going to talk about
removing things,
lets get serious about what
Americans think of
many Americans come to
Washington D, DOT c, to see the
Washington Monument and what are
we going to do? Put it in
Portland
I mean come on.
This is not a serious
recommendation and something
that they shouldnt have even
wasted a minutes of time with
Brian Mark. I know you were in
Congress in North Carolina
thats your home
during that time, when you were
in congress- and I know the
president is going to be
visiting the battle ship today
in Wilmington.
I also know there was a time in
which the President left the
White House to go to Walter Reed,
and now there is a book out that
says he had a series of mini,
strokes
and CNN rolling out footage of
him dragging one of his legs as
he was walking.
Did the president have a series
of mini strokes?
Not at all
I mean the president- and I were
laughing about this yesterday
when you see the kind of news
that comes out whether its in
this book or anything else, his
doctor actually put out a
statement,
but when you look at the
creative ways that the left
tries to go after this
particular president, they will
stop at nothing, including mini
strokes.
Can I tell you, not only, is he
healthy, but he works me off of
my feet.
In fact, im going to have to go
back in to make sure can I keep
up with him

hair cut.
