NEW - The Era of DEI is Over — Trump Administration Pledges to Eliminate All Diversity Initiatives in Transportation After Deadly Plane Crash 🧵|

Following the tragic midair collision that claimed 67 lives last night, President Trump condemned diversity initiatives within the transportation sector, vowing to restore a strictly merit-based system.

During a White House briefing on the disaster, President Trump and his cabinet tore into race-based DEI policies, particularly within the FAA, suggesting that the accident could have been prevented without such programs in place.

President Trump:

"The FAA website shows the agency guidance on diversity hiring were last updated March 23, 2022. They wanted to make it even more so. Then I came in and I assume maybe this is the reason, the FAA, which is overseen by secretary Pete Buttigieg, a real winner, that guy's a real winner."

"You know how badly everything has run since he ran the department of transportation? He's a disaster!"

"He was a disaster as a mayor, he ran his city into the ground and he is a disaster now. He's got a good line of bullshit."

"The Department of Transportation is government agency charged with regulating civil aviation. He runs it, 45,000 people and he has run it right into the ground with his diversity."

"A group within the FAA, another story, determined that the workforce was too white. That they had concerted efforts to get the administration to change that and to change it immediately."

"We want the people that are competent." Vice President JD Vance

"Something the president said that bears reemphasizing, which is that when you don't have the best standards in who you are hiring it means on the one hand you aren't getting the best people in government, but on the other hand it puts stresses on the people who are already there."

"I think that's a core part of what President Trump is going to bring and has already brought to Washington, D.C."

"We want to hire the best people because we want the best people at air traffic control and we want to make sure we have enough people at air traffic control who are competent to do the job."

"If you go to some of the headlines over the past ten years many hundreds of people suing the government because they would like to be air traffic controllers but turned away because of the color of their skin."

"That policy ends under Donald Trump's leadership, because safety is the first priority of our aviation industry."

For now, ICE is focusing on illegal aliens who pose significant threats to national security. However, the operation will soon expand to target a broader range of illegal aliens for deportation.

"Yesterday was just day one. These raids are going to go out throughout the country. We're not going to let up and I think we've put our foot on the gas and we're going to go."

"As I explained to several stations yesterday, the aperture can continue to grow."

"Right now we're concentrating on public safety and safety threats and national security threats, but as we open up the aperture, looking for fugitives, those who had due process at great taxpayer expense, there's over a million of them, 1.4 million, they're on the table."

"Anybody in the country illegally, they're on the table, but we're going to go after them in a prioritization that makes sense."

"The worst, first."

Stephen Miller revealed that President Trump plans to implement a series of powerful federal statutory authorities to address the illegal immigration crisis.

According to Miller, these measures are unprecedented, with many never utilized by prior administrations.

One key initiative involves empowering the Secretary of State to deputize state, local, and federal law enforcement to assist in immigration enforcement operations.

"This is an example of how President Trump is unleashing a vast and broad array of federal statutory authority to secure the homeland."

"Authorities that Congress has enacted that exist in statute that have never been used before."

"The Secretary of Homeland Security has the authority to deputize both federal law enforcement as well as state and local law enforcement and the National Guard, to conduct immigration enforcement activities."

"The Secretary of Homeland Security has already used the authority to deputize other federal law enforcement, including all the law enforcement branches at DOJ and that authority will be leveraged shortly to deputize state and local law enforcement to conduct immigration arrests as well."

President Trump began his address by outlining the key initiatives he plans to take to prioritize America.

Speaking to a room full of globalists at the World Economic Forum, whose mission is to unite governments to "improve global society" and create a more sustainable future for the world, Trump’s message surely sounded like nails on a chalkboard to them.

He announced plans to reverse several climate-related initiatives promoted by the WEF, including:

- Ending electric vehicle mandates
- Withdrawing from the Paris Climate Accord
- Ending the Green New Deal
- Refocusing on the oil and gas industry

"I imposed a federal hiring freeze, a federal regulation freeze, a foreign aid freeze, and I created the new Department of Government Efficiency."

"I terminated the ridiculous and incredibly wasteful Green New Deal. I call it the green new scam."

"Withdrew from the one-sided Paris climate accord and ended the insane and costly electric vehicle mandate. We're going to let people buy the car they want to buy."

"I declared a national energy emergency and that's so important. National energy emergency to unlock the liquid gold under our feet and pave the way for rapid approvals of new energy infrastructure. The United States has the largest amount of oil and gas than any country and we're going to use it."

Bookmark this thread—you’ll want to revisit this historic moment.

Over the past four years, many Americans missed President Trump’s legendary press conferences and his spirited exchanges with the media.

This marked the return of those unforgettable moments as President Trump held his first press conference of his second term—setting the tone for what’s to come. Here are some of the highlights: 1. Trump Stuns Reporter Who Tried to Corner Him on January 6th Pardons

This time around, President Trump is making it clear that he's not putting up with attacks from the media without firing back.

During the press conference, a left-wing reporter attempted to entrap President Trump on his pardon of D.J. Rodriguez, a January 6th defendant sentenced to over 12 years for allegedly using a stun gun on a D.C. police officer at the Capitol.

It didn't go the way the reporter wanted it go.

The reporter pressed;

"Among those you pardoned, D.J. Rodriguez, he drove a stun gun into the neck of a D.C. Police officer, who was abducted by the mob that day———Why does he deserve a pardon?"

President Trump's sharp response flipped the script;

"We'll take a look at everything but I can say this. Murderers today are not even charged. You have murderers that aren't charged all over."

"You take a look at what's gone on in Philadelphia, you take a look at what's gone off in LA, where people murder people and they don't get charged."

"These people have already served years in prison and, they've served them viciously."

"It's a disgusting prison, it's been horrible, it's inhumane. It's been a terrible, terrible thing."

"Take a look at Minneapolis because I was there and I watched it, and if I didn't bring in the National Guard that city wouldn't even exist today. People were killed and nobody went to jail."

"So these people have already served a long period of time and I made a decision to give a pardon."

"Joe Biden gave a pardon yesterday to a lot of criminals." "These are criminals that he gave a pardon to."

"You should be asking that question. Why did he give a pardon to all of these people that committed crimes?"

"But he paused again as I was walking away and said; 'But you're the man for this moment. I chose you because you're the guy that's going to put the war fighters first. We haven't had that, we need a guy that's kicked down doors and understands the consequences of war and why us deterring war, fighting it and winning it is important.'"

"He get's it."

"He reiterated the same thing this morning. 'Hey Pete, I got your back. It's a fight. They're coming after you. Get After it.'"

WATCH: Vivek Ramaswamy Ignites Arizona Crowd With Historic Speech in Support of Trump — '2024 is Our 1776' | Via @VivekGRamaswamy

This could go down as one of the greatest political speeches of all time.

Vivek Ramaswamy's masterful address at Trump's rally in Arizona tonight will send shivers down the spine of any red-blooded American patriot.

With both intensity and conviction, Ramaswamy declared that the stakes in the 2024 election are as high as they when American patriots defeated British tyranny in 1776, and that Americans must rise again to elect Donald J. Trump, defeating tyranny once more.

This is a fight for the very soul of America.

"2024 is our 1776 and I mean it when I say this, I think Donald Trump is the George Washington of our moment."

"They shot at George Washington when he crossed the Delaware. They missed when they tried for Donald Trump, too."

"This time around, we're not messing this up for our country. And I'm asking you, you guys do your part."

"Donald Trump's going to do his and we will make sure that our best days are still ahead of us, that we restore that American dream, that we restore that belief in the impossible, that we are the unafraid, the explorers, the pioneers who nobody was going to stop."

"That is what won us the American Revolution. That is what reunited us after the Civil War. That is what won us two world wars and the Cold War. That is what still gives hope to the free world."

"And if we can revive that dream over group identity and victimhood and grievance, then nobody in the world, not a nation, not a corporation, not a virus, not China, and certainly not Kamala Harris or Tim Walz is going to defeat us."

"That is what American exceptionalism is all about. And that is what we will revive to save this great nation."

"Thank you all. God bless you and your families. And may God bless our United States of America."

"Do not stop fighting until we get this job done!"

"Thank you, guys. God bless." Here are some of Vivek's other top speeches from this past year that we have covered;

NEW - Biden's Subtle Sabotage: How the President May Be Undermining Harris’ Campaign 🧵|

In recent weeks, political observers have noted some subtle and not so subtle moves by President Biden that directly undermine Vice President Kamala Harris' presidential bid. What may initially appear as minor oversights or political blunders could actually be part of a deliberate strategy by Biden.

New reporting from the New York Post (rb.gy/emmuqn) suggests that these acts are not accidental but rather a form of political payback.

According to insiders and political pundits, Biden may be seeking revenge on Harris, who many believe pushed him aside, effectively ending his chance at a second term.

Hank Sheinkopf, a seasoned Democratic strategist, argues that Biden’s aloofness toward Harris' campaign could be a calculated “power move” to remind everyone who’s still in charge.

Sheinkopf;

“It would be absolutely ridiculous to assume that he has no resentment over how he was treated or how, frankly, he was forced out in what some would describe as a coup,” 1. Biden's MAGA Moment in Shanksville

During a visit to the Shanksville Volunteer Fire Department in Pennsylvania to honor the 23rd anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, President Biden had an unusual encounter that left many scratching their heads.

Video from the event shows Biden chatting with a Trump supporter in the crowd before the two swapped hats. While it's not unheard of for politicians to engage in friendly gestures, this exchange took a peculiar turn.

After signing his presidential seal cap, Biden didn’t stop there. He went a step further, demanding the man’s Trump hat, saying with a smile, “I need that hat!”

The crowd urged him to put it on. At first, Biden seemed hesitant, joking, “I ain’t going that far!” But moments later, to the crowd’s amusement, he donned the Trump cap with a broad grin.

In a strange twist, the president left the event still holding the Trump hat, leaving many to wonder what message, if any, Biden was trying to send.

"You've said that politics is a dirty game in the past——So if it is a game, how do you win at that game?"

President Trump responds;

"Well you win at that game by getting the word out and by using sense. You have to have a feeling where it's going. You also have to have a feeling of what's right. You can't necessarily just go what's popular. You have to do what's good for a country if you're talking about countries."

"You have to get the word out."

"You have traditional television, which is getting a little bit older and maybe less significant. Could be less significant, I don't know. But it's changing a lot. The whole plane of platform is changing a lot. It's changed a lot in the last two, three years."

"From a political standpoint you have find out what people are doing, what they're watching and you have to get on."

1. RFK Jr. Explains How He Didn't See a Path to Victory

At beginning of his interview with Dr. Phil, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. discussed the challenging decision to suspend his campaign and endorse President Trump.

Kennedy explained the difficulty of the decision, noting that his campaign team explored every possible avenue before concluding that there was no viable path to victory.

"It was difficult. All of us, the people, kind of the inner circle who were involved in the decision, I think everybody in that circle went back. Did 180 degree turns maybe 15 times in the last two weeks trying to figure out what we could do."

He explained that there were vast barriers obstructing him from continuing his campaign effectively.

"But ultimately it was clear to me that because of the media censorship, because I was not going to be allowed on a debating stage, that I didn't really have a path to victory."

Reflecting on the future, Kennedy shared his concerns about continuing under such circumstances.

"My choice was, am I going to spend the next 77 days, you know rallying the troops and getting more money out of the donors without being able to offer them a path to victory? And I think that would have sucked my soul out." 2. Kennedy Says He Would Do It All Over Again Just to Increase Exposure to the Issues He Cares About

When Dr. Phil asked Robert F. Kennedy Jr., "You knew then, what you know now, would you have done this?" Kennedy responded affirmatively.

Despite the hardships and stress that he and his family endured on the campaign trail, culminating in the suspension of his campaign and endorsement of Trump, Kennedy believes it was worth it.

"Yeah I would have. I mean, I think it's been costly to me, and it's been costly to my family. But I think I've advanced the issues in a way that is going to be helpful to people over the long run."

Kennedy continued;

"The major issues that I've been talking about; the censorship, the addiction to war, particularly the Ukraine War, and then most of all the chronic disease epidemic. I think it gave me a platform to talk about those issues and a lot more people are aware of them now."

"It's part of the national conversation, which it was not 16 months ago."

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. began the interview by discussing the transformative period currently unfolding in American politics, which led him to join forces with President Trump for the 2024 election.

He explained how political paradigm shifts have occurred throughout history and argued that we're witnessing another one right now.

"The domination of this corrupt merger of state and corporate power that is happening in Washington, D.C. now, where our democracy has really been subverted by the industries that have taken over the regulatory agencies and transformed them into sock puppets for corporate profit taking."

Kennedy also called out the Democratic Party for what he sees as a disconnect between their ideals and actions;

"The Democrats have clung to this illusion of these democratic institutions that they're still democratic." 2. The Censorship Regime and Pavel Durov's Arrest

When asked about Pavel Durov's recent arrest, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. shifted the conversation to one of his central concerns: censorship.

He castigated Europe's stance on free speech, arguing that the continent has become an authoritarian force against it. Kennedy also discussed how Elon Musk, who would have been a liberal hero of free expression, has been vilified by the Democratic Party for his stance.

"We've lost Europe. Europe now does not have free speech. Looks what's happened to Elon Musk in Europe."

"Elon Musk should be the hero of the Democratic Party. Of the old Democratic Party, he would be the hero. Somehow he became a villain, because he was actually the only platform that would allow free speech on his platform and he's now become a villain because of it."

Kennedy further reiterated the absolute importance of free speech in any democracy.

"If you don't believe in free speech, it means because you don't trust the people. You don't trust them to figure it out on their own, to have information on which they can base their ideas and their notions and their beliefs—— and their votes. And that the government has to protect them from dangerous information."
