In his first post-election news conference, Donald Trump laid out his second-term plans and weighed in on a wide range of pressing issues.
Here with the highlights is Daily Wire senior editor Cabot Phillips. Hey, Cabot, so this press conference getting a lot of attention yesterday for good reason. What did we hear from the soon-to-be president?
Well, the event started with major economic news. As Trump announced, the Japanese telecommunications company SoftBank had agreed to invest at least $100 billion in America over the next four years. According to the company's CEO, who joined Trump at the podium, that investment will create 100,000 American jobs.
We've just concluded a very productive meeting, and today I'm thrilled to announce that SoftBank will be investing $100 billion in America, creating 100,000 American jobs at a minimum. And he's doing this because he feels very optimistic about our country since the election.
Now, Trump campaigned on a promise to attract businesses from around the world and create jobs here in America.
And this is quite the start before he even takes office. Yeah, indeed. Now, he also touched on another story that's dominating the news cycle, the drones in New Jersey and other states. What did we hear on that front and what's the latest there?
Yeah, this story has only gained attention as more and more sightings have been reported online. Like you said, not just in New Jersey, but a number of other surrounding states. Over the weekend, unknown drones were spotted over Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio. That's one of the largest such bases in the country. That drone activity prompted officials to close airspace over the base for roughly four hours early Saturday morning. Here's just fascinating audio of air traffic control warning a plane of, quote, extreme UAS activity over the base. UAS means unmanned aircraft systems, aka drones.
Med Flight 8, Patterson Tower, use extreme caution for heavy UAS movement on the base. Security forces is handling the situation. Suggest that or above 1700 AGL. We will maintain 2000 on our transition for Med Flight 8. And I got to keep the lights down so that security forces can see.
Lawmakers have continued to express outrage with the Biden administration and Pentagon, saying the American people deserve answers. They say if the drones belong to the U.S., their silence on the matter is only creating more fear and confusion. And if they aren't ours, the Pentagon ought to be taking action to get them out of our airspace.
