Mayorkas [White House press conference]: We have the resources to respond to the immediate needs of individuals impacted by hurricane Helene and hurricane Milton, and the tornadoes associated with the hurricane. That being said, we will need additional funds, and we implore congress, when it returns, to in fact, fund FEMA as needed.

Mayorkas: The false information that is being spread deliberately does have a real life impact on survivors, and it is also demoralizing for those heroic individuals who are risking their lives in the service of others…we are seeing horrific hate speech of all types, propagated on online platforms. That deplorable speech has an impact on people's lives, and it is also a motivating force for people to do harm. And it has got to stop. And it is our work at the Department of Homeland Security to combat hate in all it's forms.

['combating hate' is in no way the job of DHS]

Mayorkas just declined to answer a question about the terrorist who planned election day attacks, "We're here to talk about emergencies, and the support we can deliver to people in desperate need."

President Trump: Inflation came in substantially higher than expected last month, double what was predicted, with much of the gain coming from food prices going up, rent and hosing costs going up, and car prices going up. Interest rates, as you know, are also a very big factor; they're very high. They've gone from two percent, when I was in office, to ten percent now, and you can't get the money, which means it's much higher than ten percent.

President Trump: My goal is to see US auto manufacturing even greater than it was in it's prime, and for Detroit and Michigan to be at the center of the action.

President Trump: After decades and decades of Michigan autoworkers giving our nation their very best, our leaders in Washington did their very worst for them. They were terrible. You lost nearly four million manufacturing jobs after globalist politicians gave us the twin disasters of NAFTA, which I terminated, and China's entry tin to the World Trade Organization…nearly a quarter of a million jobs were destroyed here, right here in Michigan alone, including forty percent of all of the auto jobs, and then it got to be much higher than that. Detroit was decimated as if by a foreign army. This was a foreign army invading us, but it was an army of business people, very brilliant business people, that took the candy out of our pockets, just like you'd take it from a baby.

President Trump: Perhaps most importantly, I imposed a 27.5% tariff on all Chinese automobiles, which largely kept them out of the market. Meaning, kept them out of the market, and kept Detroit in business. In other words, I kept Chinese cars out of America, and we had to do it, because when they come in, they take over everything, and you would have had no car manufacturing at all. And it was only me that did it. I met with a lot of resistance; remember this, between the lobbyists and everything else, it's brutal. Getting people to go along with you is brutal, even if it's the wrong thing. They know it's the wrong thing, but they get paid a lot of money.

President Trump: Under Kamala, we are now in a manufacturing recession, with manufacturing contracting in twenty-two of the last twenty-three months it got smaller. We're losing jobs every single months. We've lost nearly fifty thousand manufacturing jobs, this year alone. Car sales are down by thirty-eight percent since I left. The share of domestically produced sold has dropped significantly, and the US trade deficit in automobiles exploded by nearly fifty billion dollars, to an all time high. The worst they've ever had it. Right now. Your car industry is going out of business…we're not going to allow this horror to continue. The four year long nightmare for the American autoworker ends the day I take the oath of office. January 20th, it ends.

President Trump: I intend for the triumph of the American auto industry to be among my greatest legacies. I want it to be a legacy. I want American companies to, not only dominate the American market, but also the foreign markets as well.

President Trump: We will build this policy, and it's called, 'Build It In America Plan', it's 'Build It In America', because when foreign leaders and CEOs call me up to complain about our tariffs, my answer will be very simply, Build It In America, you don't have any tariffs.

President Trump: You know, Iran was broke when I left office, and I don't want them to be broke. I want them to be a strong country. I just don't want them to have a nuclear weapon. It's very simple.

President Trump: We will implement further protections for critical industries that are fundamental for our national interests, and those include, above all, steel, and the car industry. The car industry is critical to us. We can't fight a war if we can't make cars, and trucks, and engines, and transmissions, and drivetrains. Surrendering our car industry is not an option. We have to make our car industry brilliant again. We have to make it bigger; I'm gonna make it bigger than it was ever before.

President Trump: I'm announcing today, than upon taking office, I will formally notify Mexico and Canada of my intention to invoke the six year renegotiation provisions of the USMCA that I put in. That was the hardest thing I had to get get. They didn't want that.
