President Donald Trump imposed a new 25% tariff on certain advanced computing chips, targeting products such as Nvidia’s H200 and AMD’s MI325X. The White House said chips imported to strengthen the U.S. technology supply chain could qualify for exemptions, though criteria remain unclear.
The move reflects Trump’s push to expand domestic tech manufacturing and U.S. leadership in AI. Nvidia, central to the AI boom and led by CEO Jensen Huang, was cited as strategically vital. Trump invoked national security powers under Section 232.

00:00Hello, everybody. Thank you very much. You see that beautiful milk? That's what we're here for.
00:07We're going to be discussing milk and whole milk and how good it is and how nourishing.
00:12And these people all come from beautiful farms. They have a wonderful life and they're happier
00:17today than they would have been if we didn't sign this. So we'll be talking about that in a second.
00:23Will, could you read the first two items and we're going to get going after that?
00:29We'll be talking about a couple of things. We have some news on Iran, which we're going to talk about.
00:35Shortly before you all came in, the president signed two executive actions.
00:40The first is the result of a Section 232 trade investigation into critical mineral supplies.
00:48What it does is it sets up a mechanism, a process by which the United States will seek to secure
00:54its international supply chain of critical minerals and critical mineral derived products.
00:59The second is actually the result of another Section 232 trade investigation.
01:03This went into semiconductors. It sets up a two-phase process.
01:08Under the first phase, semiconductors that are imported into the United States of America
01:13that are not then used domestically to build out our AI or computing architecture here
01:19will be subject to a 25 percent tariff.
01:22So, for example, semiconductors that were trans-shipped through the United States to other foreign countries
01:28would be subject to that 25 percent tariff.
01:30But those are two executive actions that the president reviewed shortly before you all came in.
01:36So they're going to sell chips, basically.
01:38And it's a chip. It's not the highest level, but it's a very good level.
01:42And China wants them and other people want them.
01:43And we're going to be making 25 percent on the sale of those chips, basically.
01:48So we're allowing them to do it.
01:50But the United States is getting 25 percent of the chips in terms of the dollar value.
01:55And I think it's a very good deal, a great deal.
01:59They're taking billions of dollars.
02:01And they've done a fantastic job.
02:04But it's not the Blackwell or the Rubin.
02:06Those are the two top.
02:08But it's a very good chip.
02:10And people want it.
02:11And we think it's in our best interest to do.
02:15And we have some other little things to talk about.
02:20Maybe we'll start that first.
02:21Should I start that first?
02:22I think they're going to want me to.
02:23I have a feeling they don't want me to.
02:25And we have been notified and pretty strongly.
02:30But we'll find out what that all means.
02:32But we've been told that the killing in Iran is stopping.
02:38It's stopped.
02:39It's stopping.
02:41And there's no plan for executions or an execution or executions.
02:46So I've been told that a good authority will find out about it.
02:49I'm sure if it happens, we'll all be very upset,
02:53including you, will be very upset.
02:56But that's just gotten to me some information
03:00that the killing has stopped,
03:02that the executions have stopped.
03:05They're not going to have an execution,
03:07which a lot of people were talking about
03:09for the last couple of days.
03:10Today was going to be the day of execution.
03:13And another piece of information
03:16that I think is very important
03:17is the leaker has been found
03:19and is in jail right now.
03:24And that's the leaker on Venezuela.
03:28They had a very bad leaker.
03:30So there could be some others,
03:32and we'll let you know about that.
03:33We're hot on their trail.
03:34But the leaker has been found,
03:36and the leaker's in jail.
03:37And we'll probably be in jail for a long time.
03:41Let's see what happens.
03:42So we'll let you know.
03:44We'll keep you apprised
03:45as to what's going to happen with that.
03:48And I want to thank all of the incredible people behind me,
03:51political people,
03:52both Republicans and Democrats,
03:55because they like whole milk,
03:57whether you're a Democrat or a Republican.
03:59Whole milk is...
04:00Right?
04:01It's a great thing.
04:02The senator was in the office many years ago.
04:06It feels like many years ago,
04:08but quite a while ago,
04:08right at the beginning of my first term.
04:10Yeah, with Elijah Cummings.
04:11Right, with Elijah, a very good person.
04:13You and I had a good relationship with him.
04:17At that time, I think you were a congressman,
04:19and you've made a lot of progress.
04:23Some would disagree.
04:25I don't disagree.
04:26I think you did a great job.
04:28But it's great to have you here again.
04:31Appreciate it.
04:32So today, I'm delighted to sign
04:34the Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act into law,
04:39which is a very important thing for our farmers,
04:41and I think maybe more important for our people.
04:44The people that drink milk.
04:46This is the first bill signing of the new year,
04:49and we're sure that millions of school-aged children
04:52have access to high-quality milk
04:54as we make America healthy again.
04:57I want to thank Secretary of Agriculture,
04:59Brooke Rollins, who's behind me,
05:01Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr.,
05:05Senators John Boseman and Mike Crapo,
05:09Roger Marshall, Peter Welch,
05:12as well as Representative G.T. Thompson
05:15and Tim Wahlberg, all great people.
05:19Also with us today is USDA National Nutrition Advisor,
05:23Dr. Ben Carson, my friend for a long time.
05:26We went head-to-head,
05:28and it was not easy going head-to-head with Ben.
05:32He still looks good.
05:34That's because he drinks a lot of milk.
05:36And some of our nation's wonderful dairy farmers
05:41and their children.
05:43They're going to be farmers for a long time, we hope.
05:46As it currently stands,
05:47schools participating in the National School Lunch Program
05:50are only able to offer students low
05:52or non-fat milk options.
05:55That was changed during the Obama administration,
05:58and a lot of people disagreed with it at the time.
06:01With this legislation,
06:03schools will finally be able to expand their offerings
06:06to include nutritious whole milk.
06:09It's actually a legal definition, whole milk.
06:13And it's whole with a W,
06:14for those of you that have a problem.
06:16Most of the media will get that.
06:18This is the perfect follow-up
06:20to the new real food pyramid,
06:22and Secretary Kennedy and Secretary Rollins
06:25announced that last week.
06:26You probably heard.
06:28This legislation also allows parents
06:30to directly request a substitute for milk
06:33for children with dairy intolerance.
06:37Previously, parents were required
06:38to submit a written statement from a doctor,
06:41but we're eliminating that rather ridiculous policy
06:45and allowing parents to choose
06:46what is best for their child,
06:48which is a big move.
06:49Hard to believe that that would be a big thing,
06:51but it is.
06:52And, of course, these changes will be major victories
06:55for the American dairy farmers,
06:57who we love and who voted for me
06:59in great numbers, I will say.
07:01I think I got every one of them.
07:03In December, I also signed
07:05the Secure Rural Schools Authorization,
07:08Reauthorization Act,
07:10and I'm proud to say that these two pieces
07:12of legislation will give school-aged children
07:15across the country the resources
07:17and support that they need,
07:18not just to succeed,
07:21but really to thrive in life
07:23and later on in life.
07:25So I want to ask Secretary Rollins
07:27to say a few things,
07:28and then I'd like to ask
07:30Secretary Kennedy and Dr. Carson.
07:32I'd also like to hear
07:34from these great political leaders,
07:35senators, congressmen,
07:36if they'd like to say something.
07:38I'd be honored.
07:40So, Brooke, do you want to start?
07:41Yes, sir.
07:42And what a joy and an honor
07:44it is to be here.
07:45I feel like I have the best job
07:48in the world
07:48with representing all of these farmers,
07:51and Mr. President,
07:52not in our lifetime.
07:53Has a president,
07:54been a president
07:55who loves and supports
07:56our farmers more,
07:57and certainly the dairy farmers.
07:59I want to thank
08:00all of our farmers here today, sir.
08:02Most of them are
08:02fifth and sixth generation.
08:04They represent states
08:05from all across our country,
08:07and bringing the children to
08:09and seeing what the next generation
08:10of dairy farmers looks like.
08:12The amazing thing
08:13is some of these farmers
08:14back here from Butler,
08:15Pennsylvania.
08:16He milks...
08:17Where?
08:18Butler, Pennsylvania.
08:22I love Butler.
08:24I do.
08:24They love you, too.
08:26They love you.
08:27But he milks about 40 to 60 cows,
08:30and then we have Jamie
08:31from Wisconsin
08:32who milks about 5,000 cows.
08:35So they represent
08:35all across the spectrum
08:37and what this means.
08:38And I think it's important
08:39to know that in the last year,
08:42your support
08:43for these American farmers
08:45for rural America.
08:46The one big, beautiful bill
08:47was the largest investment
08:50in rural America in history.
08:52I think that's important to note.
08:54The trade,
08:54and I see my friend
08:55Jameson Greer over there
08:57and Howard Lutnick on this end.
08:58We've opened up
08:59more than 24 different markets.
09:02Milk exports,
09:03dairy exports,
09:03are up 23%
09:05just in the last year.
09:07And when you think about
09:08the ag deficit
09:10that happened under Joe Biden
09:11and the four years,
09:12we went from a surplus
09:13of agriculture products
09:15when we left the first time
09:16to a $50 billion deficit
09:18when we came back.
09:20So these are massive,
09:21massive wins for America,
09:23and I think it's important
09:24to note that.
09:25I also want to note,
09:26and you said it as well,
09:27that over a decade ago,
09:28Michelle Obama,
09:29in this very room,
09:31made an announcement
09:32on a short-sighted campaign
09:33to ditch
09:34the whole milk in schools,
09:36and that's what we're
09:36working to fix today.
09:38Last week,
09:39Bobby Kennedy
09:40and Ben Carson
09:41and Dr. Oz
09:42and the whole crew,
09:43sir,
09:43announced the Dietary Guidelines
09:45for Americans,
09:462025 to 2030,
09:48which also reintroduced
09:49full-fat dairy
09:50into a healthy diet.
09:52And today,
09:53by signing this bill,
09:54Senator Marshall
09:55and Congressman Thompson
09:57and all the wonderful
09:59men to the right
10:00who worked so hard on this,
10:02Peter Welsh,
10:03it is a bipartisan issue
10:04and understanding
10:05where we are
10:06in this country
10:07and how important
10:08the health of,
10:09certainly,
10:10our children are
10:10is so important.
10:13USDA is posting today
10:15the guidance,
10:16so we're signing the bill
10:17and USDA,
10:18we're moving at Trump time,
10:19is posting today
10:21the new rulemaking
10:22that is necessary
10:23to get whole milk
10:24back into school lunches.
10:26So that's a really,
10:27really big deal, too.
10:28So how long will that take?
10:29It should just take
10:30a few weeks
10:31and then the milk
10:31starts moving in.
10:32So it's a big announcement,
10:35sir,
10:35for our schools
10:35and our children.
10:36And I know Secretary Kennedy
10:37will talk a little bit
10:38about the health issue,
10:39so I won't do that.
10:39I'll skip over that.
10:41You mentioned,
10:41and the last thing I'll say,
10:42I know we're here
10:43to sign the bill
10:43on whole milk,
10:44but Senator Crapo's work
10:46and our wonderful friend
10:48Doug LaMatha,
10:49who we lost way too soon,
10:50their work on securing
10:52Rural Schools Reauthorization Act,
10:55how important that too
10:56is for rural America.
10:58700 eligible rural counties
11:00across the nation
11:01are now guaranteed funds
11:02for schools and roads
11:04and infrastructure.
11:05So, sir,
11:06you say it all the time,
11:07those are your people.
11:08They voted for you
11:09and with us
11:09and saw your vision
11:10from the beginning.
11:11This is who we're here
11:12to support today
11:13in addition to the whole milk
11:15for healthy schools,
11:16which will help all children.
11:17Just remember,
11:18eat real food
11:20and drink whole milk.
11:21What a joy, again,
11:22it is to be here
11:23and I especially want to thank
11:24all of our incredible farmers
11:25for what you do.
11:26So, sir, with that,
11:27I'll turn it over
11:27to Secretary Kennedy.
11:28And just before you do that,
11:29how are we doing
11:30with food prices,
11:32bringing them down?
11:33Yes, sir.
11:33Well, I'm glad you asked
11:34because I brought a chart
11:36and it just happened
11:38to be right behind me.
11:39So, speaking of milk,
11:41milk is actually way down
11:43and I know we're here
11:44to talk about that today.
11:45It's 44%.
11:46That's right, sir.
11:4744% down.
11:48Milk, 44% down.
11:50Eggs is way down.
11:51Milk is way down.
11:52This is just
11:53since we took office, sir.
11:54Fresh whole chicken down 2%.
11:57Cheese down.
11:58Tomatoes down.
11:59Butter down.
12:00Of course, eggs are way down.
12:02Potatoes down almost 3%.
12:03Fresh fruits down almost 3%.
12:05But this is just the beginning.
12:07And as we continue
12:08to bring the cost of farming down,
12:10bring the cost of inputs down,
12:12open up the markets,
12:13support our farmers,
12:14we'll see even more affordability
12:16moving forward.
12:17And eggs are down 31%,
12:18so that's really something.
12:20Where's Bobby?
12:21Bobby's right here.
12:22I'm sitting there.
12:23Right here, Mr. Reginald.
12:25Go ahead.
12:25Where am I?
12:26Go ahead.
12:27Let's see you.
12:28What do you like, Bobby?
12:29And I want to echo
12:29what Brooke said about
12:31finally having a president
12:33that sees the alignment
12:36between farm prosperity,
12:39good food policy,
12:41and the health of our children.
12:42These are common sense associations.
12:45Democrats have been talking about them
12:47for eons.
12:48Republicans have been talking about them.
12:50We finally have a president
12:51that is implementing these policies
12:54and getting real food to our children.
12:56Today, President Trump signs
12:58the Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act of 2025,
13:01a long overdue correction
13:03to the school nutrition policy
13:05that puts children's health first.
13:08For years, Washington treated fat,
13:10especially saturated fat,
13:13as the enemy.
13:14It made a war on saturated fat.
13:16This is the peacetime president.
13:18He's made eight and a half deals,
13:20ending wars,
13:21and he's also ended the war
13:23on saturated fat.
13:24As a result,
13:26Whole and 2% Milk
13:27disappeared from school menus.
13:30Even though science
13:31has never shown
13:32that Whole Milk harms children,
13:34evidence increasingly
13:35shows the opposite.
13:37The panoply of nutrients
13:39in Whole Milk
13:39is critical to brain development
13:41and physical development
13:43in our children.
13:44Whole and 2% Milk
13:45provide 13 essential ingredients
13:48critical for growth,
13:50development,
13:51immune system function,
13:52and overall health,
13:54including protein,
13:55calcium, vitamin D,
13:56and healthy fats.
13:58Yet, since these milk options
14:00were removed
14:01more than a decade ago,
14:02school milk consumption
14:04and meal participation
14:05have declined dramatically.
14:07Today,
14:08between 68%
14:09and 94%
14:11of school-aged boys and girls
14:13fail to meet
14:14recommended dairy intake,
14:16according to federal guidelines.
14:18When schools limit milk choices,
14:21the kids do not move
14:22to healthier substitutes.
14:24They move to caffeinated drinks,
14:26to sugar drinks,
14:28and to sweetened beverages
14:30with little or no nutritional value
14:33and the potential to wreak havoc
14:35on metabolic health,
14:37which is driving
14:38the chronic disease epidemic
14:39in our country.
14:41During the same period
14:42that whole milk was regulated
14:43out of lunchroom,
14:44rates of childhood obesity
14:47and diabetes
14:47rose significantly.
14:50Removing whole milk
14:51did not improve health.
14:53It damaged it.
14:54Thanks to President Trump's leadership,
14:56this law fixes that mistake.
14:59It allows schools
15:00and the National School Lunch Program
15:02to offer whole reduced fat,
15:05low fat,
15:05or fat-free,
15:06flavored or unfavorable,
15:09organic,
15:10or conventional.
15:11It restores choice
15:13to schools,
15:14parents,
15:14and students
15:15and encourages consumption
15:17of nutrient-dense foods
15:18that kids will actually drink.
15:21The law also removes
15:23unnecessary bureaucracy
15:24by allowing parents
15:26or legal guardians
15:28to request milk substitutes
15:30without the necessity
15:32of involving a doctor.
15:34And it corrects
15:35a flawed technical rule
15:36by excluding fluid milk
15:38from saturated fat calculations
15:41that distorted school menus.
15:43Milk fat is not junk food.
15:46Treating it that way
15:47undermined nutrition
15:48and ignored the science.
15:51Last week,
15:51Secretary Rollins and I
15:53unveiled President Trump's
15:54new food pyramid
15:55and updated our dietary guidelines
15:58with a clear message.
16:00Eat real food.
16:02This law puts that principle
16:03into action.
16:05As Secretary of Health
16:06and Human Services,
16:07I support this reform
16:08because it aligns
16:10federal policy
16:11with evidence-based nutrition,
16:13not ideology or dogma.
16:15Healthy kids need real food.
16:18They need real protein.
16:19They need healthy fats.
16:21And they need policies
16:22grounded in reality
16:23and the science.
16:25I want to thank
16:26President Trump again
16:27for his vision,
16:29for signing this bill,
16:30for continuing
16:31to put children's health first.
16:33This is exactly
16:34the kind of practical change
16:36that won't make America
16:36healthy again.
16:38Thank you, Bobby.
16:41Thank you, Bobby.
16:43We have some milk here.
16:44It's been sitting here
16:45for five days, so...
16:47It's from the original bottle
16:50and I brought it
16:52so the press can have some.
16:54You can swing it all out.
16:56Remember the old days
16:58when we were kids,
16:58everybody shared a bottle?
17:00Today, we tend not to do that,
17:01but if you'd like to,
17:03if you trust the person
17:04that you're drinking right there,
17:06it's right here.
17:07It's yours, okay?
17:08It's semi-fresh.
17:10Five, six days old.
17:13So, Ben Carson,
17:14a special man.
17:15Knows a lot about health.
17:16He looks better than ever.
17:18So, Ben, how about it?
17:19Well, thank you,
17:20Mr. President.
17:21Thank you for being interested
17:22in the health of the people.
17:23It's made a big difference
17:24in facilitating an atmosphere
17:27where the agencies
17:28can work together.
17:31You know,
17:31Secretary Rollins,
17:33Secretary Kennedy,
17:34Marty McCary,
17:35Dr. Oz,
17:36the whole group,
17:37every week at least
17:39meeting once
17:39to talk about these things
17:41and it's made a big difference.
17:42And I want to thank
17:43the dairy farmers.
17:44I know you guys
17:45have been in the doghouse
17:47for a little while.
17:47You're out of the doghouse
17:48for a little while.
17:49Yes, sir.
17:50And, you know,
17:51whole milk
17:51is a wonderful beverage.
17:54Good protein.
17:55We talk about real food.
17:57It is real food.
17:58Healthy fats.
18:00Important nutrients.
18:02You look at vitamin D.
18:04You look at calcium,
18:06phosphorus,
18:07the things that are
18:07absolutely essential
18:09for bone development
18:11and for teeth.
18:13But as a neurosurgeon,
18:15the thing I really like
18:16is what the brain,
18:17what it does for the brain.
18:18You know,
18:19the brain starts to develop
18:21right after consumption.
18:23And as millions of neurons
18:26every single day
18:27continue to do that
18:28right up
18:29until the mid
18:30to late 20s.
18:32Now,
18:32it's important
18:33what that brain
18:34is getting
18:35during the development.
18:37Is it getting soda
18:38or is it getting milk?
18:40So milk would help
18:41your cognitive ability?
18:43Absolutely.
18:44You can tell
18:44who's been drinking it.
18:45Take a cognitive test?
18:48I've taken a lot of them.
18:50I've aced every one of them
18:51because I drink milk.
18:55It's good for it
18:56and it shows.
18:57Do you consider
18:58there to be
18:58a big difference in taste
18:59between what you were having
19:00and it?
19:01No.
19:01It just looks so good
19:03sitting there, right?
19:05Yes, sir.
19:05It looks better.
19:06It's thick.
19:07Go ahead, Ben.
19:08Sorry, I'll jump to you.
19:09You know,
19:09when you go up to school
19:10and you give the kids milk,
19:12real milk,
19:13they love it.
19:14When you pour the stuff
19:15that looks like,
19:15you know,
19:16dishpan water,
19:17you don't particularly want that.
19:19It doesn't taste good either.
19:20So this is a great day.
19:22It's only a part
19:24of what's happening
19:25with our emphasis on health.
19:28You know,
19:28our longevity
19:29has been going down
19:31and other industrialized nations
19:32has been going up.
19:33It's because
19:34we haven't been
19:35paying attention to this.
19:36That has changed
19:37and we want to thank you
19:39for your leadership.
19:40Well, thank you very much, Ben.
19:41Appreciate it.
19:42Appreciate all you've done, too,
19:43for the country.
19:45I'd like to ask a few
19:46of our senators
19:46to say a couple of words.
19:48Maybe we should start
19:48with the Democrats
19:49in our midst.
19:50What do you think?
19:50Peter Welch.
19:52Peter Welch.
19:53No.
19:53Thank you very much
19:54for being here, Peter.
19:55No, thank you.
19:56You know,
19:57our dairy farmers
19:58are so vitally important
20:00and they have a way of life
20:01that transmits
20:02from one generation
20:03to another
20:04and it's tougher than ever
20:05for our dairy farmers
20:06in Vermont,
20:08our dairy farmers
20:08in Pennsylvania
20:09and others,
20:10South Carolina,
20:11are here.
20:12But they're the lifeblood
20:13of the community.
20:14Nobody works harder
20:15and nobody does things
20:16that are better
20:17for nutrition.
20:19And also for our kids.
20:20I'm in agreement.
20:21Kids having access
20:22to healthy milk
20:23is really good milk.
20:25Whole milk
20:25is really good for them.
20:26And one of the things
20:27that I get very excited about
20:29that really the Vermont farmers
20:31talk about
20:31is they have their milk
20:34from their farm
20:35that then goes directly
20:36to many of our schools.
20:38And then kids come out
20:39to the farms
20:40and start seeing
20:41how milk is made,
20:42what farming is about.
20:44That's good for America.
20:46It's not a party deal.
20:48This has been
20:48a bipartisan effort.
20:50I appreciate working
20:51with my colleague,
20:52Senator Marshall,
20:53who did a great job
20:54in JT when I was
20:55in the House.
20:55And Tim, thank you.
20:57Thank you, Mr. President.
20:58It's got to be like
20:59a 90-10 issue.
21:00Another one of those 90-10.
21:02It's good to have you
21:03on our side.
21:04But it's a great issue
21:06and it's a great thing
21:07to do
21:08and we're very proud of it.
21:09We're very proud
21:10of our farmers.
21:11Senator,
21:12do you want to say
21:12a few words?
21:13Sure.
21:13I'll be very brief.
21:14We all want to see
21:15you sign this bill.
21:17But I really appreciate
21:19you and Brooke
21:20bringing up
21:21the Secure Rural Schools
21:23legislation.
21:24This is critical legislation
21:25to our rural communities
21:27across this country
21:28and we have to fight
21:29every couple of years
21:30to get it extended
21:31just a couple of years.
21:33And this extension
21:34we got this year
21:35went back to pick up
21:36a few years
21:37that we missed
21:37and it's going to expire again
21:39at the end of the next year.
21:41And, Mr. President
21:42and Secretary,
21:44I'm going to encourage us
21:45to get back in here
21:46to sign a Secure Rural Schools
21:49bill that is permanent.
21:52I want to set a goal
21:53or hope that you'll set a goal
21:54with me to get that done.
21:56Thank you very much.
21:57Anybody?
21:58Mr. President.
21:59Yeah.
21:59Yeah, Mr. President.
22:00Thank you so much
22:01for having us here
22:02on behalf of Kansas
22:03Dairy Farmers.
22:05Milk is the most wholesome,
22:07nutritious drink
22:08known to humankind.
22:09Not only is it full
22:10of essential nutrients,
22:12it's full of healthy fats
22:13as well as protein.
22:15As Dr. Carson pointed out,
22:17those healthy fats
22:18are what helps that brain develop
22:19and help you absorb
22:21the fat-soluble vitamins.
22:24The protein is why
22:25you drink milk
22:26and you're not hungry again
22:27in 30 minutes.
22:29And I have to point out
22:30that under the previous
22:32couple ministrations ago,
22:33thanks to them,
22:34we have a whole generation
22:35of young adults
22:36who have osteopenia
22:38and osteoporosis
22:39because they never drank milk
22:40for an entire generation.
22:42So getting milk back
22:43in the schools
22:44is going to give us
22:45healthy bones
22:46and healthy minds.
22:47It sticks to your ribs
22:48and it tastes great.
22:49Thanks for your leadership.
22:51Yes, sir, Mr. President.
22:52Any other way?
22:53Politically first,
22:54I don't want to go
22:55to the farmers.
22:56Yes, please.
22:57Mr. President,
22:57thank you so much.
22:58I want to ask Dr. Carson
22:59if there's an age limit
23:01on the cognitive ability
23:03in drinking a whole lot more of this.
23:06Yes, exactly.
23:07Thank you so much.
23:08Thank you so much.
23:08We literally have
23:09legislators here
23:10that have worked on this
23:13for years.
23:14This is something
23:15that's been very, very difficult.
23:17You were able
23:18to help us get it over.
23:18I think it would have been
23:19very easy, actually.
23:20Exactly,
23:21but you were able
23:21to help us get it over.
23:23You and your great team,
23:24Brooke,
23:25all of these people
23:26have done such a good job,
23:28not only with this issue,
23:30but all that we're doing
23:31for the farm community,
23:32which is so, so very important.
23:34So thank you very, very much.
23:36And I know that you're
23:38going to continue
23:38to support farmers
23:39like you have.
23:40We do, right from the beginning.
23:43Thank you very much.
23:44Mr. President,
23:45G.T. Thompson,
23:46the Chairman of the House
23:47Agriculture Committee.
23:48I have been working
23:49on this bill for 15 years.
23:51And thank you.
23:52That's amazing.
23:53Because of your support
23:55and your leadership,
23:56we were able to get this
23:57across the line.
23:59It's such a shame
24:00that it would be so hard.
24:01Oh, and common sense
24:02was lost.
24:04And the benefits today
24:07go to those precious children
24:09that we see over there.
24:11It goes to our dairy farm families
24:13who work so hard
24:14seven days a week.
24:15There's no day off
24:15for a dairy farmer.
24:17And quite frankly,
24:18our rural communities
24:19who, when the misguided move
24:21to take whole milk
24:23and 2% milk
24:24and flavor out of the skulls,
24:26we lost a generation,
24:27probably two generations,
24:28of milk drinkers.
24:29And it devastated
24:30those rural communities
24:31because you lose
24:32the dairy farms,
24:33then you lose
24:34all the supplies,
24:35businesses,
24:37and then you lose
24:38grocery stores
24:38and you lose
24:39community pharmacies.
24:41Well, that day ends today
24:42with your signature.
24:44We reverse that trend
24:45and we build
24:45a robust rural economy.
24:48And I'll just close
24:49with what will be
24:50the theme
24:50of my next bumper sticker,
24:53whole milk kills.
24:54Amen.
24:55That's right.
24:55That's what they say.
24:57I think it's probably two.
24:58Anybody else?
24:59Well, Mr. President,
25:00as Chairman of the
25:00Education and Workforce Committee,
25:01this fits with the kids,
25:04with what they can enjoy
25:05in school and grow from.
25:07Also, to have GT Thompson,
25:10sponsor the bill,
25:10on that committee,
25:11and I think I've worked
25:12with you for 15 years,
25:14but we finally got it
25:15done in committee.
25:17This makes an impact
25:19for education,
25:20for our workforce,
25:21the health that's there,
25:22and the reality
25:23of what this farming
25:24industry does.
25:25I live in the most diverse
25:27farm district in Michigan.
25:28Thanks for coming
25:29to Michigan yesterday.
25:30Yeah, it was great.
25:31And my kids were raised
25:32on, it's legal now,
25:35raw milk,
25:36taken right out
25:37of the bulk tank,
25:39and my oldest son
25:39became a Pulitzer-nominated
25:41journalist
25:41for the Chicago Tribune,
25:43and I think the milk
25:44did it, right?
25:44It did it from all the time.
25:46Then I have the benefit
25:47of Dr. Carson being
25:50a graduate of Andrews
25:52University in my district,
25:53so all of that
25:54goes together.
25:55Thank you for signing this.
25:57It'll make a difference.
25:57Great job.
25:59So how about
26:00a couple of the farmers?
26:02Would anybody like to speak?
26:03Yeah.
26:04Do you like,
26:05do you want to just say
26:06how great milk is?
26:07It's so amazing.
26:09It's so amazing.
26:10I want to.
26:11Yes, Mr. President,
26:12we want to say thank you
26:13for doing this.
26:14It's been stated several times
26:15how long this took,
26:16and so thank you
26:17for your support
26:18and leadership
26:18in finally making this happen
26:20as a mom
26:21and a dairy farmer.
26:22This isn't just a big win
26:23for the dairy farm families
26:24across the country,
26:25but as it's been said,
26:26the millions of school-aged kids
26:28that depend on school lunches
26:30for their nutrition
26:30and to fuel their bodies,
26:32so thank you.
26:32So they've been fighting
26:33this for years then, huh?
26:34Fifteen years.
26:35Well, have you been fighting it?
26:37You're too young to be fighting it.
26:38Have you been fighting it
26:40for that long?
26:40For a while,
26:41we've been fighting it.
26:42I mean, I think I speak
26:42for everybody.
26:43It's been a long time coming,
26:45so your leadership is it.
26:47Well, it's great.
26:48I had no idea you would.
26:49It just seems to make sense, right?
26:51It's hard to believe
26:52when you said 15 years,
26:54I said, you have to be kidding.
26:55It's government is tough.
26:57Government can be very tough.
26:59How about you?
27:00Would you like to say something?
27:01So we are very grateful
27:02and thankful that you
27:03passed this bill
27:04because it is common sense
27:06as to what we should be consuming,
27:08whole foods and whole milk.
27:10Unfortunately,
27:11that has not been the case
27:12for a few years,
27:14but research shows
27:15and our Maha movements
27:16have been taking the right steps
27:18to make America healthy
27:20and our children are growing
27:22into active teenagers
27:23and athletes
27:24and what do they need?
27:26They need strong bones.
27:27They need the energy.
27:28They need the healthy muscles
27:30and so we are so grateful
27:32that the science is there
27:34and we are actually
27:35at the right point
27:37and the right step
27:37making sure America is healthy.
27:39So we are very thankful.
27:41It's so great.
27:42I look forward to getting it
27:44all the time.
27:45I open a refrigerator
27:46and I say milk with rice
27:48and milk with water
27:49and milk with everything
27:50and I say what kind of milk is it?
27:52That's what I like right there.
27:53That's great.
27:54Thank you very much.
27:56Please, ma'am.
27:58Hi, my name is Patrice Ambuca.
27:59I am the central director
28:01at the Independent Women's Forum.
28:02I work on economic policies,
28:04but I'm also a mom of boys,
28:06as you can see.
28:07This is Jessie.
28:08Jessie, you want to see
28:09your name and age?
28:10My name is Jessie.
28:11I am six years old.
28:13I am seven years old.
28:14I want to be an engineer
28:15when I grow up.
28:18I am a first grader.
28:20I also know
28:23where does milk come from?
28:25Good job.
28:27Good job.
28:27Good job.
28:28Where does it come from?
28:29So first, farmers milk it
28:32and then next they put it
28:34into a cold tank
28:37and then they,
28:39to take the germs out,
28:41they put it very hot
28:43and then they put it back
28:45in the cold tank
28:46and then they haul it
28:47to somewhere that is cold
28:49in a big refrigerator.
28:51Well, that is fun.
28:59I'm going to give him a medal.
29:00That's okay.
29:01Yeah.
29:02Everybody,
29:02these guys want it.
29:03Let me tell you,
29:04politicians want it.
29:05I'm going to give that to you.
29:06Is that okay?
29:07Thank you, sir.
29:10That's beautiful.
29:10Daniel, his younger brother.
29:12Daniel, how old are you?
29:14Five.
29:15And what grade are you in?
29:17Kindergarten.
29:18Kindergarten.
29:19And these boys
29:19are involved in sports.
29:21They go to a public school
29:22in the Maryland area
29:23and many of their friends
29:25are drinking
29:26the kind of options
29:28that they don't really like
29:29and so it's good
29:30that as they get to drink
29:31a glass of milk
29:32every morning,
29:33their friends will be able
29:34to drink that at school as well.
29:35So thank you very much
29:36for what you're doing
29:37for public school kids
29:38in particular.
29:39Beautiful people.
29:40Thank you very much.
29:42Doing a great job too.
29:44Please.
29:44I'm Amber Schwartz.
29:45I'm also with Independent Women
29:46but I'm here with my son, Luke,
29:48who is 13 years old.
29:50We're in Alexandria, Virginia.
29:52Luke needs a lot of protein
29:53right now to grow.
29:54In fact, his doctor just told us
29:56between 60 and 70 grams a week
29:58and that's,
29:59I can't feed him
30:00a whole chicken every day
30:01so supplementing with milk
30:02is really helping us.
30:04Unfortunately, at school
30:05they've offered skim milk
30:08and chocolate
30:10and he does not like either
30:12and so he has been turning
30:13to the juice boxes
30:14and other drinks
30:16that have sugar
30:17and so thank you
30:19for giving him
30:19the opportunity
30:20and parents too
30:21to make a choice.
30:22That's great.
30:23That's really great.
30:24How about you?
30:25Thank you, Mr. President.
30:26Nice beautiful red hair.
30:28Yeah.
30:29I tried to match here.
30:30Yes.
30:31But I'm the aforementioned one
30:32from Butler, Pennsylvania
30:33so you know that place very well
30:36and we still love you.
30:38But, Mr. President,
30:40I was thinking last night
30:41when I was milking
30:42what I was going to say
30:43and I thought,
30:43well, this is such a monumental day
30:46in agriculture,
30:47not just dairy farmers
30:48but for all of agriculture
30:49because this helps me as a producer,
30:52helps the processors,
30:53it also helps these kids here,
30:55so it's good all around
30:57and this is perfect legislation,
30:59a great day for America
31:01is what this is.
31:02Thank you very much.
31:03Beautifully said
31:04and we appreciate it
31:05and it is a great place
31:06that you come from.
31:07I love it.
31:08Please.
31:09Mr. President, thank you.
31:10It's an honor to be here
31:11and you know,
31:12I think this is about choices.
31:15You know, this day's been
31:16a long time coming.
31:17We've been waiting on this
31:19for many years
31:19and you know,
31:20it's great that we're able
31:22to provide choices now
31:23in schools with whole milk.
31:25Well, thank you for that
31:26and thank you for everything
31:29that you do
31:29for the dairy industry
31:30that us dairy farmers
31:32produce valuable nutrients
31:36every day for consumers.
31:39So you're going to need
31:40to produce more milk
31:41because you're not mixing it up
31:43with all sorts of things, right?
31:44That's right.
31:45That's great.
31:45That's so great.
31:46How much of an increase
31:47will that be?
31:48Do you have any idea?
31:50A lot more.
31:51A lot more.
31:52Absolutely.
31:53That's great, boy.
31:54That's so good for the industry.
31:56Hard to believe
31:57you had to wait so long.
31:58Yep.
31:59Mr. President,
32:00I'd like to thank you
32:01again for your support
32:02behind this
32:02and the gentleman
32:03standing behind you.
32:04Like you said,
32:04we worked 15 years on it.
32:06I advocate for our industry
32:08a lot out in the community
32:09and I know
32:10I've been in the high schools,
32:11I've been in the middle schools
32:12where the students want milk.
32:15I did a taste test
32:15one time at a high school
32:16where we gave them
32:18whole milk
32:18versus the skim milk
32:19their school was giving
32:19and the kids loved
32:20the whole milk.
32:21So just
32:21your all support behind us,
32:23your support
32:24getting it pushed through,
32:25I really appreciate
32:26what you've done
32:27and what the gentleman
32:28behind you
32:29were able to do.
32:30We support the farmer.
32:31Yes, sir.
32:31The farmer knows
32:32what's right
32:33better than anybody else.
32:34Bobby would tell you that.
32:36I mean, the farmer,
32:37they know what's right.
32:38Yes, sir.
32:38Especially when it comes
32:39to things like this.
32:41Sorry it took so long.
32:42It was 15 years.
32:43I can't believe it.
32:45Howard,
32:45would you like to say something?
32:46What's amazing
32:48is that the president
32:49has the leadership
32:51and common sense
32:52to drive the right outcomes.
32:55Why should kids
32:56not be given the choice
32:58to drink whole milk?
32:59How is that even possible?
33:00So it's amazing
33:02to work for you
33:03because you just own
33:04common sense
33:05and you're driving it
33:06through our economy,
33:07you're driving it
33:08through the farmers,
33:09got great leadership
33:10in Secretary Rollins
33:11and Secretary Kennedy
33:12and it's great fun
33:14to be here
33:14because, I mean,
33:15think of today.
33:16I mean,
33:16how much fun is this?
33:17It's just common sense.
33:19Come on.
33:20It's like the Oval Office.
33:21Yes, sir.
33:21Beautiful.
33:22Even the media,
33:23they come here
33:24and they're here a lot
33:25but it's sort of like
33:27you're in the Oval Office.
33:28It's the whole ballgame.
33:30It all begins
33:31and ends
33:31and then re-begins here.
33:33There is no place like it,
33:35right?
33:35Yes, sir.
33:35Isn't that it, sir?
33:36There's no place like it.
33:37If you love the country,
33:38especially,
33:39there's no place like it.
33:40So thank you.
33:41Thank you, Howard,
33:41very much.
33:42So let's sign it.
33:43Should I sign it?
33:44Yes, sir.
33:44Last chance.
33:45There you go.
33:47Another 15 years.
33:49Let's do it.
33:49Do it?
33:50You go stand right there.
33:51Come on.
33:51Right here.
33:53Jesse, come on.
33:54We have to do a good one here.
33:56This is right?
33:57Yes, sir.
33:57This is an important one for me.
33:59Okay.
34:12Not bad.
34:14Not bad.
34:15You can never make a mistake.
34:31They made a lot of mistakes.
34:33Anyway, here it is.
34:35Thank you all very much.
34:41You have us, sir?
34:44I'm going to start drinking a lot of money.
34:46We appreciate it.
34:47Okay.
34:48Thank you very much.
34:49That's great.
34:49Here, hold that on for a little while.
34:51You'll give it to us later, okay?
34:52That's a good job.
34:54That's great.
34:54So, any questions on what we just signed?
34:58Mr. President, on it round, Mr. President.
35:00Let's talk about this.
35:02I've got one of my milk.
35:03Coming from a family.
35:04My dad was a dairy engineer from Texas Tech University.
35:06So, you're a big, strong dad.
35:07There he is.
35:08Drink lots of whole milk in my day.
35:11Would you look at this as being a shift from what the industry kind of woke with the oak milk
35:16and the almond milk?
35:17It's going in the exact opposite direction.
35:20Let's talk about the impact of dairy farmers on this whole thing.
35:22There are a lot of changes being made in the last year, as you know.
35:27We're still a little bit less than a year.
35:29I think there's probably never been a year like this for a president or for a country.
35:33We have tremendous success.
35:35We've had success with everything we've done.
35:37And the economy now is coming back.
35:39And here's an example of farmers.
35:41They're going to be working harder to produce because it's not going to be watered down by something.
35:45And it's great to see it.
35:47And if you'd like a zip of that, I'd give it to you.
35:49It's actually been here.
35:50It's only been here for a few minutes before.
35:53It's not five days.
35:56Five days and open right now.
35:59It's not.
36:00But it's an honor.
36:03What we've done in the country in the last year, it's incredible.
36:06All of us together, it's incredible.
36:08So I appreciate the question.
36:10Mr. President, on Iran, you said that the killing has stopped.
36:13Who told you that the killings have stopped there?
36:15And if it's the Iranian regime?
36:16We have been informed by very important sources on the other side.
36:20And they've said the killing has stopped and the executions won't take place.
36:24There were supposed to be a lot of executions today and that the executions won't take place.
36:29And we're going to find out.
36:30I mean, I'll find out after this.
36:31You'll find out.
36:32But we've been told on good authority, and I hope it's true.
36:37Who knows, right?
36:38Who knows?
36:39Crazy world.
36:39We've seen liebacks.
36:40So how do you trust them?
36:41You've seen that over the last few days.
36:44And they said people were shooting at them with guns and they were shooting back.
36:47And, you know, it's one of those things.
36:49But they told me that there will be no executions.
36:54And so I hope that's true.
36:55Does this mean military action is now off the table against Iran?
36:59We're going to watch it and see what the process is.
37:01But we were given a very good statement by people that are aware of what's going on.
37:09Are they still considering military action?
37:11Is that still a threat?
37:12There's no executions.
37:13Everybody's talking about a lot of executions were taking place today.
37:16We were just told no executions.
37:18I hope that's true.
37:19That's a big thing.
37:19Yes, ma'am.
37:20The foreign minister of Greenland, she said a while ago in a press conference in an embassy
37:24of Denmark that she made very clear in the meeting that happened here in the White House,
37:29what are their limits.
37:30She also said that it was a very respectful meeting.
37:34Are those limits going to be respected?
37:37Well, we're going to see what happens with Greenland.
37:39We need Greenland for national security.
37:41So we're going to see what happens.
37:43They're going to brief me on the meeting right after this conference.
37:46In fact, the sooner I get you out, the faster I'm going to know exactly what happened.
37:50But we have a very good relationship with Denmark, as you know, we'll see.
37:53But, you know, we're doing the Golden Dome.
37:56We're doing a lot of things, and we really need it.
37:59If we don't go in, Russia's going to go in, and China's going to go in.
38:03And there's not a thing that Denmark can do about it, but we can do everything about it.
38:07There's no more thing, but they can do that we're seeing.
38:09Well, we're going to see.
38:09I mean, look, we're going to see what happens, but we need it.
38:12You know, I'm not the first one.
38:14This was talked about by President Truman, and 40 years before President Truman, they were talking about it.
38:20They've been talking about this for 100 years.
38:22This is not anything so new.
38:24A lot of people don't realize that, but this was a hot subject.
38:27Probably not as hot as it is now, but it was a hot subject for a long time.
38:31We need it for national security, and that includes for Europe.
38:35And I spoke with, as you know, Mark, the head of NATO, and he really wants to see something happen.
38:46It's being reported that Health and Human Services released frozen funds to Planned Parenthood.
38:52I'm wondering why this happened and why Planned Parenthood is receiving any federal funds.
38:56I don't know anything about it.
38:58Bobby, do you know anything about it?
38:59What was the question?
39:01It's being reported that frozen funds were released to Planned Parenthood in December by AJS.
39:07I'm wondering why that happened.
39:10I have not heard that.
39:12I have not heard that.
39:13Mr. President, on NATO, right now it sounds like you are saying that you would potentially acquire Greenland by force.
39:22That would be a NATO country.
39:24Are you saying that?
39:24Are you saying that?
39:25Would you do that by force?
39:26No, you're saying that.
39:27Would you acquire them by force right now?
39:29You're telling me that that's what I'm going to do.
39:31I think we're...
39:31You don't know what I'm going to do.
39:33So what are the options?
39:34Your network doesn't know, is it?
39:35The Danish foreign minister said that there are still fundamental differences after the meeting with Rubio and with the vice president.
39:43Are you willing to leave the NATO alliance in order to get what you want with Greenland?
39:49What are the options right now?
39:50I'm not going to be telling you what I'm willing to do, certainly.
39:52I'm not going to give up options, but it's very important.
39:54Greenland is very important for the national security, including of Denmark.
39:58And the problem is there's not a thing that Denmark can do about it if Russia or China wants to occupy Greenland.
40:04But there's everything we can do.
40:06You found that out last week with Venezuela.
40:09There's everything we can do about things such as that.
40:12Not going to happen.
40:14We're not...
40:15You know, I can't rely on Denmark being able to fend themselves off.
40:19You know, they were talking about they put an extra dog...
40:21And they were serious about this.
40:22They put an extra dog sled there last month.
40:26They entered a second dog sled.
40:28That's not going to do the trek.
40:29Denmark fought alongside the United States in both Afghanistan and Iran.
40:33But I have a very good relationship with Denmark, and we'll see how it all works out.
40:39I think something will work out.
40:40Mr. President, on Venezuela, Cabello, the de facto number two in Venezuela right now,
40:45he seemed pretty reluctant to work with the U.S.
40:48And obviously he's in...
40:49They just gave us 50 million barrels of milk.
40:53The number two, the Venezuela security team.
40:55I know the number one, we just had a great conversation today.
40:59And she's a terrific person.
41:01I mean, she's somebody that we've worked with very well.
41:03Marco Rubio is dealing with her.
41:05I dealt with her this morning.
41:06We had a call, a long call.
41:09We discussed a lot of things.
41:10And I think we're getting along very well with Venezuela.
41:12Mr. President, is there even a new assistant attorney general position dedicated to rooting
41:17out fraud in the United States?
41:18Yeah, it's fantastic.
41:19The person is fantastic.
41:20Who is it?
41:22It's a he.
41:23I will tell you maybe within minutes.
41:26I mean, I don't know if it's appropriate to say yet because we're going through a process.
41:30But we have chosen a person who's very tough, very smart, very fair.
41:34Mr. President, you gave a speech yesterday in Michigan about how you recalibrated the American
41:39economy to work for workers, U.S. auto factories.
41:42We've seen core inflation is completely tamed.
41:44You've lowered the trade deficits, the lowest amount since 2009.
41:47American exports are growing.
41:49But we're also waiting on the Supreme Court case for the tariffs.
41:52Given the success that you've had in the first 12 months, what is at stake in this case?
41:57A little bit like whole milk.
41:58I can't believe we even have a case.
42:00This was a case started by very China-centric people and also anti-American people, frankly,
42:08people that don't want us to do well.
42:11Tariffs have helped us stop eight wars.
42:14They've helped us get the best trade numbers we've ever had.
42:17They've helped us get $18 trillion brought into the country.
42:21And maybe above all else, they've given us tremendous national security, just the threat
42:26of tariffs.
42:26You saw that just yesterday when I put tariffs on a certain country.
42:31We won't talk about that country, but you know who it is, based on the fact that if you
42:35do business with that country, you know, it's going to make them, it's going to bring
42:40them to the table a lot faster.
42:42So we have made hundreds of billions of dollars with tariffs.
42:47We have very little inflation.
42:49Think of it.
42:50Inflation's gone down and productivity.
42:53Everything has gone up.
42:54We've never taken in money like we have.
42:57We've never had anywhere near $18 trillion invested in our country, neither as any other
43:02country.
43:03It's the biggest number by maybe five times.
43:06Five times.
43:07Not five percent, five times.
43:09Nobody's ever seen numbers like this.
43:11We have plants going up.
43:13You know, you mentioned I was in Michigan yesterday.
43:15I was at the Ford plant where they make the Ford 150.
43:17It's one of the original plants, it's from before World War I.
43:21It's a giant plant.
43:23That plant was probably going to be closed.
43:25And two years ago, they were doing very poorly.
43:30And now they just announced yesterday that they're going to go 24 hours around the clock.
43:35Three shifts, which they rarely do.
43:38That's Ford.
43:38And Ford's having the best numbers they've ever had.
43:40General Motors having the best numbers they've ever had.
43:43Stellantis, which hasn't been here, is now investing billions, tens of billions of dollars
43:48on building in the country.
43:50We're building auto plants all over the country.
43:53We're building AI all over the country.
43:55We're leading China by a lot.
43:56And a lot of it has to do with tariffs.
44:00That would be a very disappointing decision.
44:03And especially since the people that are fighting me are people that want China to do well.
44:09And we're doing great against China.
44:11We're doing great against everybody.
44:12We're the hottest country anywhere in the world.
44:15As they say often, we're right now the hottest country anywhere in the world.
44:19And a year and a half ago, we were a dead country.
44:22Thank you very much, everybody.
