Why did the White House press conference on the Maha report turn into a disaster?
The White House just held a disastrous press conference. Chief propagandist or press secretary, Caroline Levitt, was asked about all of the fraudulent citations on a recent Maha Make American Healthy Again report by RFK Jr., which makes it appear that the report was pretty much created using AI with fake citations. And fake articles and fake authors. Here's what Caroline Levitt had to say. Play the clip.
Um I just wanted to follow up on uh your statement last week regarding the Maha report. Sure. Um you said that there was uh you said I understand there were some formatting issues with the Maha report that are being addressed and that report will be updated. Um we also understand that since that there have been some citations that came about. There's citations of studies that either did not exist or did not back up the report's conclusions. So when you were referring to formatting errors, um is that what you were talking about or was it uh
So i could you just explain that? Yeah, that's what I was talking about. There were formatting errors and those errors were updated by the proper policy components here at the White House and a new report was issued. So exactly what I said took place. Sure.
Next, Caroline Levitt is asked about uh when are these deals happening? And now we hear that instead of doing deals, Donald Trump's just gonna write a letter to countries saying, here's your tariff number, play the clip.
Um, Warriors was reporting that there is a letter that is meant to be sent to other countries, which would give these countries a deadline of Wednesday to produce their best offer on the trade matter. Uh why does the administration feel the need to send this letter and I have one more follow up on trade?
I can confirm the merits in the content of the letter. USTR sent this letter to all of our trading partners just to give them a friendly reminder that the deadline is coming up. And they are in talks. Ambassador Greer, Secretary Besson, Secretary Lutnick are in talks with many of our key trading partners around the globe, as you know. Brian, I know the Wall Street Journal has covered this quite heavily. Um, and they continue to be engaged in those discussions. And this letter was sent. simply to remind these countries that the deadline is approaching and the president expects good deals and we are on track for that, uh, I will emphasize
What was the White House’s explanation for the alleged “formatting errors” in the Maha report?
Side though. Next up, Peter Ducey from Fox asks Caroline Levitt, how mad do you think Trump's gonna be when he finds out that Elon Musk has come out against the budget bill? Play this clip.
Just cross Caroline. How mad do you think President Trump is gonna be when he finds out that Elon Musk said, I'm sorry, but I just can't stand it anymore. This massive outrageous pork filled congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination. Shame on those who voted for it. You know you did wrong, you know it.
Look, the president already knows where Elon Musk stood on this bill. It doesn't change the president's opinion. This is one big, beautiful bill and he's sticking to it.
Thank you. And by the way, Elon Musk says, I'm sorry. I just can't stand it anymore. This massive, outrageous, pork-filled congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination. I'm going to make a whole other video on just Elon Musk tanking uh the budget bill. Next up, a reporter asks Caroline Levitt. So what are you going to do with the fact that 40% of crop farm work? workers are undocumented. Are you going to deport them and just kill the entire agriculture industry? To which Caroline Levitt says, yes. Play the clip.
Thanks a lot, Caroline. I want to bring it back to the way you began your briefing talking about the President's mass deportation program and his priorities. Forty percent of crop farm workers in the US are undocumented, and that's according to the agriculture department. Do they have a carve out in terms of the president's mass deportation program?
The president and the Trump administration have been very clear if you are in the country illegally, you are subject to deportation.
