group of D.C.-based journalists who call themselves the White House Correspondents Association and have had a monopoly over the White House and its press access. Not anymore. Yesterday we announced that the White House is now going to control the pool rotation of reporters who get to fly on Air Force One, get to go into the Oval Office and ask President Trump questions.
And we are going to keep the legacy media outlets around because we're not afraid to take questions from anybody. but we're also gonna add those new voices in the mix who deserve to be there and who are excited about the privilege of enjoying this Trump administration and asking the president of the United States questions.
You wrote in an op-ed in the fall of 2023 that, quote, Putin is to blame, certainly like Al-Qaeda was to blame for 9-11. Do you still feel that way now? Or do you share the president's assessment as he says Ukraine is to blame for the start of this war?
Speaker, either one of you. So we reported, several other outlets have reported that about 3,500 people are due to lose their jobs at the IRS by the end of the week. If the goal of these spending cuts across the federal government has been to reduce the debt, why impose some of the deepest cuts we've seen so far at the agency responsible for raising revenue for the federal government?
I wonder how much of what we're seeing right now out of the administration of President Trump is a call to Europe and the European leaders and the allies that we've traditionally had to pick up that hot potato and start doing something a little bit more concrete to win and preserve the peace in Ukraine. The second question I have is it's related is there's been some a lot of speculation in that
President Trump and the administration might be manipulated by Vladimir Putin. I wonder if you just talk a little bit about the administration's posture and your confidence in the competence of this administration to go toe-to-toe with Vladimir Putin.
So, Mr. Hassett, you were speaking about tariff revenue and you also addressed a question about the IRS. President Trump has spoken about replacing income tax with tariff revenue, especially with all this waste, fraud, and abuse that we're seeing cut. Is that a possibility?
On these potential checks that you might send out from Doge, is there a concern as you're thinking through this that they could be inflationary?
Okay, so you're not worried about it.
opportunity that is for america to co-invest with ukraine in there and finally here is kevin hassett national economic council director let's play we're being told by a lot of people who have been let go at other agencies that they were told they were being dismissed because of poor performance when in some cases they haven't even had a performance review yet because they've only been on the job a couple of months yeah i've never seen a person who was laid off for poor performance to say uh that they were performing poorly okay
What happened with Devondre Campbell? He didn't play and he went into the locker room at some point?
Play today?
