00:00not a very good business model and that's why we have people in our new media seat and today
00:05we have Sargar Annetty who is the host of Breaking Points, a popular political YouTube news and
00:10podcast show. And lastly, before I take questions, I would like to commend the Washington Post,
00:15who I believe is in the room today. According to a new report from Axios, the Washington Post is
00:21overhauling their newsroom structure. It appears that the mainstream media, including the Post,
00:26is finally learning that having disdain for more than half of the country who supports this
00:31president does not help you sell newspapers. It's not a very good business model and that's why we
00:36have people in our new media seat and today we have Sargar Annetty who is the host of Breaking
00:41Points, a popular political YouTube news and podcast show that has racked up nearly 1 billion
00:47views on YouTube, several hundred million podcast downloads since its launch in June 2021. He's also
00:53a former member of the White House Correspondents Association but is now a part of the thriving
00:58independent media. We're very happy to have you with us here today. Why don't you kick off our
01:02briefing? Thank you. Really, really appreciate you having me, Caroline. A couple of questions
01:07for you, if I may. First is first on the stock market. So currently it's the 25th anniversary
01:13today of the dot-com bubble crash. There's a lot of concern for a lot of Americans right now about
01:18the state of the economy. President Trump has refused to rule out a recession. Secretary
01:22Lutnick, however, has told us there will not be one. So can the White House just tell and assure
01:27Americans today that there's not going to be a recession? Well, there's a lot to unpack there.
01:30So let me start by saying that first of all, when it comes to the stock market, the numbers that we
01:35see today, the numbers we saw yesterday, the numbers we will see tomorrow are a snapshot of
01:40a moment in time. And as President Trump has said, and I'm here to echo the remarks of this president
01:45of this White House, we are in a period of economic transition. We are in a period of transition from
01:52the mess that was created under Joe Biden in the previous administration. Joe Biden left this
01:57country in an economic disaster. Several statistics to point out. The delinquency rate on credit card
02:03loans increased 63 percent under Joe Biden, hitting a near 12-year high. Under Joe Biden, all net job
02:10growth went to foreign-born Americans. Real wages declined by one and a half percent under Joe Biden.
02:16And as we all know, and this administration continues to combat, prices soared more than 20
02:22percent under Joe Biden because of his reckless spending and economic policies. So we are in a
02:27period of transition from that economic nightmare under a president who had no idea what he was
02:32doing, never held a private sector job in his life, into a golden age of American manufacturing
02:38under a businessman and a dealmaker-in-chief and President Donald J. Trump, who will be
02:43implementing, is implementing the formula that we know works. Look at President Trump's results in
02:49his first term. If people are looking for certainty, they should look at the record of this
02:53president. That's why the American people reelected him back to this office. And look at everything
02:59that President Trump has already done and his team has already done in just 51 days, the massive
03:04efforts to deregulate, tax cuts, which we need Congress to pass the Trump economic agenda,
03:10the Trump tax cuts, which will unleash economic growth. And the president also addressed this
03:15directly, I will point out as well, when you look at what he said on Air Force One, and he said he
03:21wants the American people to have so much money in their pockets, they don't even know what to do
03:25with it. That's the intent of this administration. And we're working very hard every day on that
03:29goal. Second question on the CR. So President Trump came out today in a primary challenge
03:33against Congressman Thomas Massie. Congressman Massie has been a supporter of Doge. He's been
03:37a supporter of Make America Healthy Again. What kind of message is this White House sending
03:42against a congressman who's sticking up for principles that he's long held in the chamber
03:47and voting against continuing resolution and spending? I think the president has made it
03:51very clear that he believes it's critical for conservatives and Republicans and frankly,
03:56all members of Congress to get behind this continuing resolution to keep the government
04:01funded. The president wants to continue the momentum that he has built over the last 51 days
04:07in order to keep the government funded. We got to keep moving with these deportations.
04:11And he believes that everybody needs to get on board with this bill. He's been active in this
04:15process. He's been making calls to get this over the finish line. And we're urging every Republican
04:20and Democrats too, to do what's right for the American public to prevent a government shutdown.
04:24Just the last question here on Mahmoud Khalil. Does the administration believe that it needs
04:28to charge a green card holder with a crime to be eligible for deportation?
04:34Well, in fact, Secretary Rubio reserves the right to revoke the visa of Mahmoud Khalil.
04:42And I'm glad you brought this up. Under the Immigration and Nationality Act, the Secretary
04:46of State has the right to revoke a green card or a visa for individuals who serve
04:53or are adversarial to the foreign policy and national security interests of the United
04:57States of America. Don't miss out. Log on to OneIndia.com for more updates.
