BRENNAN: Deals is about negotiating down the tariffs. So that's a diminishing source of revenue over time. But are you saying that there will be blanket tariffs?HASSETT: Tariff revenue is not going away, that's what I'm saying

Q: "Trump said that masks will not be allowed to be worn at protests. Who is going to enforce that and how?"Kristi Noem: "The law is going to be enforced…I won't get more specific on that just because we never do when it comes to law enforcement operations."

Margaret Brennan Confronts Kristi Noem on Trump’s ‘Federalizing’ CA National Guard — Which She Opposed Just Last Year

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem on Sunday defended President Donald Trump’s decision to federalize the California National Guard in response to violent unrest in Los Angeles over the weekend.

Noem argued the president acted only after Democratic leaders failed to restore order. Notably, the former South Dakota governor opposed the idea of the White House federalizing her state’s National Guard just a year ago.

During an appearance on CBS’s Face the Nation, Noem said Trump had no choice but to intervene Saturday evening once it became clear that local officials, including Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom, were not taking adequate action to protect the public.

Theo Von: " Elon also tweeted that…Trump tariffs will cause a recession."Vance: " He's making a mistake and going after the president… I think he's frustrated. I think he's an emotional guy…He's making a mistake."

One of our core principles is to not deploy the Marines domestically to carry out law enforcement functions. They aren’t trained for that and aren’t there for that. Since the founding of the Republic. But this toady will never go against Trump on anything. bsky.app/profile/atru…

KARL: Do you know what he's talking about with the Epstein files? And why haven't those files been released?MIKE JOHNSON: I don't know. That's not my lane. We have no concern about President Trump of his involvement or any of that.
