cheap, with a big Mac costing half a day's wages. | :00:00. | :00:10. | |
This is Outside Source live from the BBC newsroom. | :00:11. | :00:12. | |
President Trump has just arrived in Philadelphia on Air Force One and is | :00:13. | :00:22. | |
due to speak shortly at this gathering of senior Republicans. | :00:23. | :00:25. | |
Let's bring you some of the main stories from BBC World Service. BBC | :00:26. | :00:29. | |
Turkish is covering the fact that the Supreme Court has ruled that a | :00:30. | :00:32. | |
group of eight Turkish soldiers who fled their country by helicopter | :00:33. | :00:39. | |
after a failed coup in July. They say that they were involved in the | :00:40. | :00:41. | |
plot. The British Foreign Secretary Boris | :00:42. | :00:44. | |
Johnson has suggested that the Syrian President Bashar | :00:45. | :00:46. | |
al-Assad should be allowed to run for election and potentially | :00:47. | :00:48. | |
remain in power as a means And if you haven't seen this, | :00:49. | :00:51. | |
I can recommend it. This is rock, paper, | :00:52. | :00:57. | |
scissors on a whole new level. The winner of this televised battle | :00:58. | :00:59. | |
won a place as the lead singer Not a bad prize - they've sold more | :01:00. | :01:03. | |
than 40 million singles. Within the last hour, | :01:04. | :01:16. | |
Gambia's new President Adama Barrow These are pictures of Mr Barrow | :01:17. | :01:18. | |
leaving his temporary home He was sworn in there as Gambia's | :01:19. | :01:23. | |
president a week ago, He is only now able to return | :01:24. | :01:47. | |
because Yayha Jammeh has gone into X I'll. | :01:48. | :01:50. | |
Mr Trump is about to speak, so let's bring in the feed but we have. | :01:51. | :01:58. | |
APPLAUSE Thank you. So nice, nice to win, do | :01:59. | :02:05. | |
we agree? It's been a while since we had this position! And I want to | :02:06. | :02:11. | |
thank everybody in the room, so many friends. Thank you very much. Sit | :02:12. | :02:15. | |
down, every body, let's enjoy ourselves. It's great to be in | :02:16. | :02:20. | |
Philadelphia, I went to school in Philadelphia. It is a very special | :02:21. | :02:26. | |
place in our nation's history. It's the place where we launched our | :02:27. | :02:32. | |
American independence. The state of Pennsylvania is very special to me | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
for lots of reasons, especially from a couple of months ago, remember? | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
APPLAUSE Pennsylvania cannot be won, | :02:41. | :02:46. | |
remember? Pennsylvania cannot be won. Right, Congressman? There is no | :02:47. | :02:52. | |
path to victory for Trump in Pennsylvania. Except we won. Now, it | :02:53. | :02:58. | |
has been a long time since you guys did this, but it was just a great | :02:59. | :03:05. | |
victory, it was a great evening, I will tell you, but it sort of | :03:06. | :03:08. | |
started in Pennsylvania. They all said that Pennsylvania was the bride | :03:09. | :03:16. | |
that got away, that it was the state that everybody from the Republican | :03:17. | :03:18. | |
party that ran in Pennsylvania for 38 years thought that they won, | :03:19. | :03:24. | |
except they never won, and I thought that I won, to, but I was afraid to | :03:25. | :03:29. | |
say it, Mitch, because it just seemed it wasn't working out, so I | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
just said, I think we did great, but let's see what happens. And good | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
things happened. So we love this state and we will see it many times | :03:39. | :03:46. | |
again. Now is the dawn of a new era where the people are in charge of | :03:47. | :03:51. | |
their own destiny. I want to thank Majority Leader McConnell, great | :03:52. | :03:58. | |
guy. And speaker Paul Ryan, very, very special, and he is writing his | :03:59. | :04:04. | |
heart out, right? And we are actually going to sign their stuff | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
that you are writing, you are not wasting your time! | :04:10. | :04:10. | |
APPLAUSE He would write and he would send it | :04:11. | :04:12. | |
up and nothing would happen, but now up and nothing would happen, but now | :04:13. | :04:17. | |
it is going to happen. For their leadership and inviting me here | :04:18. | :04:22. | |
today, thank you very much. And thank you, leader McCarthy, | :04:23. | :04:30. | |
Congressman's Gillies, Congresswoman Cathy McMorris Rogers and | :04:31. | :04:34. | |
congressmen necessary or leadership as well. It has been terrific. This | :04:35. | :04:42. | |
Congress is going to be the busiest Congress we have had in decades. | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
Maybe ever. Maybe ever. Think of that. And think of everything we can | :04:48. | :04:56. | |
achieve. And remember who we must achieve it for. We are here now | :04:57. | :05:02. | |
because tens of millions of Americans have placed their hopes in | :05:03. | :05:07. | |
us to transfer power from Washington, DC and give it back to | :05:08. | :05:08. | |
the people. APPLAUSE | :05:09. | :05:16. | |
So important. Now we have to deliver. Enough all talk, no action. | :05:17. | :05:26. | |
We have to deliver. This is our chance to achieve great and lasting | :05:27. | :05:31. | |
change for our beloved nation. Since taking office, I have taken major | :05:32. | :05:37. | |
contractual steps to restore the rule of law and to return power to | :05:38. | :05:44. | |
everyday Americans. APPLAUSE | :05:45. | :05:51. | |
And even though it's only a few days, we have done it in record | :05:52. | :05:54. | |
numbers. We've issued executive orders to build the Keystone and | :05:55. | :06:07. | |
Dakota pipelines, and issued a new requirement for American pipelines | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
to be made with American steel and fabricated in the United States. | :06:12. | :06:16. | |
APPLAUSE And I was sitting at my desk, and | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
I'm getting ready to sign Keystone and Dakota, and I say, where is the | :06:21. | :06:25. | |
pipe coming from, and I won't tell you where, but you wouldn't be | :06:26. | :06:29. | |
happy. And I said why do we build pipelines and we are not using pipe | :06:30. | :06:32. | |
that is made in our country? Let's put that little clause in, one | :06:33. | :06:39. | |
sentence, but that will attract a lot of people, and we will make that | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
pipe right here in America, OK? APPLAUSE | :06:44. | :06:49. | |
If people want to build pipelines on our land, we want the pipe to be | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
manufactured, and not only that, manufactured here but you will see a | :06:54. | :06:58. | |
level of quality that you are not going to see when they bring pipe | :06:59. | :07:04. | |
from far distances, have to bring it in small chunks and then fabricate | :07:05. | :07:09. | |
can do much better than that, and we can do much better than that, and we | :07:10. | :07:13. | |
are going to do it much better, and it is going to end up costing less | :07:14. | :07:18. | |
money, believe me. We have reinstated the Mexico City policy, a | :07:19. | :07:21. | |
long-standing policy... APPLAUSE | :07:22. | :07:42. | |
And by the way, on Friday, a lot of people are going to be showing up to | :07:43. | :07:57. | |
Washington, right, Mike? A lot of people. The press never gives them | :07:58. | :08:00. | |
the credit that they deserve. They will have 300, 400, 500, 600,000 | :08:01. | :08:03. | |
people, you won't even read about it. When other people show up, you | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
read big-time about it, right? So it's not fair, but nothing fair | :08:08. | :08:09. | |
about the media. LAUGHTER | :08:10. | :08:13. | |
Nothing. APPLAUSE | :08:14. | :08:21. | |
A long-standing policy to make sure that taxpayer dollars do not fund | :08:22. | :08:28. | |
abortion services overseas. We have issued executive orders to remove | :08:29. | :08:32. | |
wasteful regulations that slowdown, as and delay infrastructure, which | :08:33. | :08:40. | |
we desperately need. The very beginning of a massive effort to | :08:41. | :08:44. | |
reduce crushing regulations on our economy, and we are going to reduce | :08:45. | :08:48. | |
regulations big-time. APPLAUSE | :08:49. | :08:54. | |
We have also withdrawn from the transpacific partnership, paving the | :08:55. | :08:58. | |
way for a new one-on-one trade deals that protect and defend the American | :08:59. | :09:02. | |
worker, and believe me, we are going to have a lot of trade deals... | :09:03. | :09:06. | |
Mitch, don't worry about it. Just give me a full-time. But they will | :09:07. | :09:11. | |
be one-on-one, they would be a whole baker match pot -- they won't be a | :09:12. | :09:21. | |
whole big mash pot, and if that country doesn't deal with us fairly, | :09:22. | :09:30. | |
they will get a 30 day notice to quit. We will have very strong | :09:31. | :09:36. | |
controls over monetary manipulation and devaluation, which they didn't | :09:37. | :09:40. | |
having TPP, so this will be so much better, and we are already on it. I | :09:41. | :09:45. | |
would like to have my commerce secretary Wilber approved, because I | :09:46. | :09:49. | |
hear he did fantastically well, but they are not quick with the pen on | :09:50. | :09:55. | |
signing these people, we would like to have him as soon as possible and | :09:56. | :09:59. | |
Mitch says it will be done, and it will be. They could move fast on the | :10:00. | :10:03. | |
other side, I will say that. They could move faster. | :10:04. | :10:08. | |
APPLAUSE I am meeting with the Prime Minister | :10:09. | :10:12. | |
tomorrow, as you know. Of Great Britain. I am meeting with her | :10:13. | :10:19. | |
tomorrow. I don't have my, is secretary, and they want to talk | :10:20. | :10:22. | |
trade, so I will have to handle it myself. Which is OK. | :10:23. | :10:29. | |
LAUGHTER We have put in place the first steps | :10:30. | :10:33. | |
in our immigration plan ordering the immediate construction of the border | :10:34. | :10:37. | |
wall, putting an end to catch and release, expediting the removal of | :10:38. | :10:42. | |
criminal... This is so important to me. From the first day I have said | :10:43. | :10:49. | |
it. The immediate removal of criminal aliens. They are going to | :10:50. | :10:55. | |
be gone, fast. And finally, at long last, cracking down on Sanctuary | :10:56. | :10:59. | |
cities. CHEERING | :11:00. | :11:09. | |
It's time to restore the civil rights of Americans to protect their | :11:10. | :11:14. | |
jobs, their hopes and their dreams for a much better future. Congress | :11:15. | :11:20. | |
passed these laws to serve our citizens, and it's about time those | :11:21. | :11:24. | |
laws were properly enforced. They are not enforced. | :11:25. | :11:28. | |
APPLAUSE The hour of justice for the American | :11:29. | :11:34. | |
worker has arrived. Border security is a serious, serious national issue | :11:35. | :11:41. | |
and problem. A lack of security poses a substantial threat to the | :11:42. | :11:45. | |
sovereignty and safety of the United States of America and its citizens. | :11:46. | :11:51. | |
Most illegal immigration is coming from our southern border. I've said | :11:52. | :11:59. | |
many times that the American people will not pay for the wall. And I've | :12:00. | :12:03. | |
made that clear to the government of Mexico. Nafta has been a terrible | :12:04. | :12:11. | |
deal, a total disaster for the United States from its inception, | :12:12. | :12:21. | |
costing us as much as $60 billion a year with Mexico alone in trade | :12:22. | :12:25. | |
deficits. Who negotiates these deals? Not to mention millions of | :12:26. | :12:31. | |
jobs and thousands and thousands of factories and plants closing down | :12:32. | :12:37. | |
all over our country. On top of that the trillions of dollars the US | :12:38. | :12:43. | |
taxpayers have spent to pay the cost of illegal immigration. Much of it | :12:44. | :12:49. | |
has then been sent back, and much of it goes back to other countries, and | :12:50. | :12:53. | |
oftentimes because they don't respect us, the other countries will | :12:54. | :12:58. | |
not accept the criminals that we send back to them that are illegally | :12:59. | :13:05. | |
in our country. I promise you they will start accepting them again. | :13:06. | :13:09. | |
Quickly. We are not going to have them any longer. I will not allow | :13:10. | :13:14. | |
the taxpayers or the citizens of the United States to pay the cost of | :13:15. | :13:20. | |
this defective transaction Nafta, one that should have been | :13:21. | :13:23. | |
renegotiated many years ago, except that the politicians were too | :13:24. | :13:30. | |
preoccupied to do so. Now, these people are not in that category, you | :13:31. | :13:37. | |
understand that this is different. To that end, the president of Mexico | :13:38. | :13:41. | |
and myself have agreed to cancel our planned meeting scheduled for next | :13:42. | :13:47. | |
week. Unless Mexico is going to treat the United States fairly, with | :13:48. | :13:54. | |
respect, such a meeting would be fruitless, and I want to go a | :13:55. | :14:00. | |
different route. We have no choice. Paul Ryan and other leaders in | :14:01. | :14:05. | |
Congress and I and Mike Pence, who, by the way, how good a choice was | :14:06. | :14:10. | |
vice president Mike Pence? CHEERING | :14:11. | :14:13. | |
Everybody loves him. In fact, any time I got myself into | :14:14. | :14:30. | |
a jam. I haven't been doing this stuff too long! Any time I got | :14:31. | :14:33. | |
myself into a jam, oftentimes they would say on television, but look, | :14:34. | :14:40. | |
he picked Mike Pence, so he's got to have something going right! So Mike | :14:41. | :14:44. | |
really helped me out. Well, we are working on a tax reform Bill that | :14:45. | :14:48. | |
will reduce our trade deficit, increase American exports and will | :14:49. | :14:55. | |
generate revenue for Mexico -- from Mexico that will pay for the wall of | :14:56. | :14:58. | |
we decide to go that route. It is time that the American people had a | :14:59. | :15:03. | |
president fighting as hard for its citizens as other countries do for | :15:04. | :15:09. | |
there is. And that's exactly what I'm going to do for you. Believe me. | :15:10. | :15:15. | |
APPLAUSE Thank you. Thank you. | :15:16. | :15:22. | |
It's time that somebody fought for our country, and didn't let anyone | :15:23. | :15:28. | |
take advantage of us any more. The world has taken advantage of us for | :15:29. | :15:31. | |
many years, not going to but any more. We will have an ambitious | :15:32. | :15:37. | |
legislative agenda as well, our legislative work starts with | :15:38. | :15:44. | |
repealing and replacing Obama care, and saving families from the | :15:45. | :15:49. | |
catastrophic rise in premiums and debilitating loss of choice in just | :15:50. | :15:55. | |
about everything else. And remember this for this room in particular. | :15:56. | :16:02. | |
Obamacare is a disaster. The Democrats are putting up signs like | :16:03. | :16:06. | |
it is wonderful, it's a disaster. I actually talked with Paul and the | :16:07. | :16:10. | |
group about just doing nothing to years, and the Dems would come | :16:11. | :16:17. | |
begging to do something, because 17 is going to be catastrophic rice | :16:18. | :16:22. | |
increases, your deductibles through the roof, you can't use you can't | :16:23. | :16:28. | |
use it. And they would come to us. Except we have one problem. We have | :16:29. | :16:31. | |
to take care of the American people immediately. So we can't wait. But | :16:32. | :16:38. | |
every time they tell you about Obamacare, we're taking them out of | :16:39. | :16:42. | |
a big jam, big jam. We are putting ourselves at risk to a certain | :16:43. | :16:46. | |
extent, because we are taking it off their platter. But I think, | :16:47. | :16:50. | |
congressmen, I think we have no choice. I think we have no choice, | :16:51. | :16:56. | |
we have to get it going. If we waited two years, it is going to | :16:57. | :16:59. | |
explode like you have never seen an explosion, nobody is going to be | :17:00. | :17:04. | |
able to afford it. It's a disaster. And that's politically what we | :17:05. | :17:07. | |
should do, but we don't want to do that, we want to get something done | :17:08. | :17:11. | |
and get it done right, and by the way, Tom Pryce is going to do a | :17:12. | :17:15. | |
phenomenal job. I don't know if he's here, but he will do a phenomenal | :17:16. | :17:17. | |
job. On my first day in office I signed | :17:18. | :17:27. | |
an executive of the -- order to roll back Obamacare and produce the | :17:28. | :17:31. | |
ability for individuals to choose customise plans that are truly right | :17:32. | :17:37. | |
for them and have so many choices. Tom Price will soon be leading | :17:38. | :17:42. | |
health and June this is. He is a true advocate for patients, he is | :17:43. | :17:46. | |
going to do a phenomenal job, we have no doubt about that. He joins | :17:47. | :17:51. | |
an all-star roster that includes many of your colleagues. Men who | :17:52. | :18:01. | |
have had tough time in Congress. And in the Senate. But they came out | :18:02. | :18:09. | |
very well. Mike Pompeo. He is a phenomenal guy along with Jeff | :18:10. | :18:14. | |
Sessions. He is a fine person. He was one of my earliest endorses. I | :18:15. | :18:22. | |
have never endorsed a presidential candidate before and he was one of | :18:23. | :18:26. | |
my earliest ones and he did unbelievably well in front of the | :18:27. | :18:31. | |
committee. In addition to fixing our health care we will pursue new trade | :18:32. | :18:35. | |
deals that increase wages and produce more opportunities for | :18:36. | :18:38. | |
American workers, bringing back those knives and words, made in the | :18:39. | :18:43. | |
USA. We used to have that, we don't have that any more. It is going to | :18:44. | :18:50. | |
be America first again. We will create millions of good paying jobs | :18:51. | :18:54. | |
by removing the economic burdens that cripple our ability to compete. | :18:55. | :19:01. | |
At the centre that agenda is tax reform that massively lowers taxes | :19:02. | :19:05. | |
for our middle-class and for all American businesses. We will also | :19:06. | :19:15. | |
pursue financial reform that will help striving Americans get the | :19:16. | :19:17. | |
credit that they need to realise their dreams. Republicans have | :19:18. | :19:26. | |
always been the party of American industry and the American worker. We | :19:27. | :19:29. | |
must embrace that heritage, rebuilding this country with | :19:30. | :19:34. | |
American goods and American labour. And we have started, believe me, | :19:35. | :19:39. | |
over the last few months. I don't know, I would like to say I did | :19:40. | :19:43. | |
about as much as any one or more intensive getting industry to start | :19:44. | :19:46. | |
coming back to our country before I took office. But we have a lot of | :19:47. | :19:51. | |
great news with Ford and General Motors and Fiat and Chrysler and | :19:52. | :19:56. | |
many others. We have a great number of companies and great news. We have | :19:57. | :19:59. | |
many additional people coming and going. We have a lot of positive | :20:00. | :20:03. | |
things happening and you will start to see it bursting out very soon. We | :20:04. | :20:08. | |
want to get our people off of welfare and back to work, it is so | :20:09. | :20:13. | |
important. It is out of control, it is out of control. And we believe | :20:14. | :20:18. | |
that the world's best country ought to have the world's best | :20:19. | :20:22. | |
infrastructure. It is what our people deserve and that is what we | :20:23. | :20:29. | |
will ensure they get. I infrastructure is in serious | :20:30. | :20:32. | |
trouble. We will build new roads and highways and tunnels and airports | :20:33. | :20:36. | |
and railway is across the nation. We will fix our existing product before | :20:37. | :20:41. | |
we build anything brand-new. However, we have to fix what we | :20:42. | :20:46. | |
have, it is a mess. So we will fix it first. What I do best in life is | :20:47. | :20:50. | |
bold, we will fix at first because we have a lot of things that are in | :20:51. | :20:55. | |
bad shape. And we will rebuild our military and take air of our great | :20:56. | :21:00. | |
veterans. APPLAUSE | :21:01. | :21:12. | |
Thank you. We are working hard with the | :21:13. | :21:16. | |
veterans, we will do something very special with them. At the same time, | :21:17. | :21:21. | |
we will unleash the full power of American energy, ending the job | :21:22. | :21:27. | |
killing restrictions on shale gas, oil, natural gas and clean beautiful | :21:28. | :21:30. | |
call. And we will put our coal miners back to work. | :21:31. | :21:41. | |
APPLAUSE Thank you. | :21:42. | :21:46. | |
And we will protect our farmers. Our ranchers. Our hunters, our anglers | :21:47. | :21:54. | |
and all who enjoy the outdoors. But to be a rich country, we must also | :21:55. | :22:00. | |
be a safe country. Right now, too many families do not feel secure. | :22:01. | :22:07. | |
Just look at the 30 largest cities. In the last year a loan, the murder | :22:08. | :22:11. | |
rate has increased by an estimated 14%. Here in Philadelphia, the | :22:12. | :22:19. | |
murder rate has been steady, just terrible increasing and then you | :22:20. | :22:23. | |
look at Chicago. What is going on in Chicago? I said the other day, what | :22:24. | :22:35. | |
the hell is going on? A lot of truth to that! That is why we will | :22:36. | :22:40. | |
continue to stand with the incredible men and women of law | :22:41. | :22:43. | |
enforcement. APPLAUSE | :22:44. | :23:00. | |
Yesterday, I had the honour of swearing and General John Kelly as | :23:01. | :23:06. | |
the Secretary of Homeland Security. He will be amazing. | :23:07. | :23:13. | |
Tomorrow I will swear in general James Mattis as our new secretary of | :23:14. | :23:23. | |
this is. -- secretary of the fence. These men have dedicated their lives | :23:24. | :23:27. | |
to defending America and I look forward to working with them. Along | :23:28. | :23:33. | |
with our great new head of the... We have so many different people that | :23:34. | :23:37. | |
we are putting in office, I think it is the group of stars, like, nobody | :23:38. | :23:43. | |
has seen before. Where is Mike Pompeo? Where the hell is he? Did he | :23:44. | :23:52. | |
ever come here? He is working? He is going to be another one of the big | :23:53. | :23:56. | |
stars. I have to mention him every single time. And with you in | :23:57. | :24:06. | |
Congress to keep our country safe from threats, that includes | :24:07. | :24:11. | |
protecting Americans from radical Islamic terrorism. | :24:12. | :24:20. | |
APPLAUSE We also need to keep the ballot box | :24:21. | :24:25. | |
safe from illegal voting. And believe me, take a look at what | :24:26. | :24:32. | |
is registering, folks, they like to have a go at me but look at what is | :24:33. | :24:36. | |
registering. We are going to protect the integrity of the ballot box and | :24:37. | :24:40. | |
we're going to defend the votes of the American citizens, it is so | :24:41. | :24:45. | |
important. All of us here today, for the same reason, to serve the | :24:46. | :24:51. | |
citizens of our country. We are not here for ourselves, we are here for | :24:52. | :24:54. | |
them. We are here for the people. We are blessed by divinity and honoured | :24:55. | :25:00. | |
by history with the task of preserving this great Republic and | :25:01. | :25:04. | |
expanding its blessings to every single American. | :25:05. | :25:11. | |
APPLAUSE Thank you. All of us are joined in | :25:12. | :25:25. | |
this effort, all of us are bound by duty and bound by God to give | :25:26. | :25:30. | |
powerful devotion to this country and its people. That obligation form | :25:31. | :25:38. | |
is the moral foundation of our agenda. That agenda includes a lean, | :25:39. | :25:47. | |
efficient government. One that appoints Supreme Court justices, | :25:48. | :25:51. | |
that is so important, who will uphold and defend our Constitution, | :25:52. | :25:55. | |
reducing taxation and regulation. Fair trade that creates A-level | :25:56. | :26:00. | |
playing field, as opposed to what we have right now, and fostering | :26:01. | :26:03. | |
respect for our country and its flight. We are now only at the | :26:04. | :26:08. | |
beginning of this incredible journey together. -- flag-mac. I am honoured | :26:09. | :26:14. | |
to be your partner in this amazing quest. I am privileged to stand with | :26:15. | :26:17. | |
you, shoulder to shoulder, as we work every single day to make | :26:18. | :26:24. | |
America great again. Thank you, God bless you, and God bless America. It | :26:25. | :26:28. | |
is a great honour to be here, thank you very much. | :26:29. | :26:28. | |
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE So, Donald Trump addressing | :26:29. | :26:49. | |
Republicans there from both the House of Representatives and the | :26:50. | :26:51. | |
Senate at their annual gathering before the start of the new session | :26:52. | :26:55. | |
of the Congress that was elected in November, many of which members were | :26:56. | :26:59. | |
elected at the same time as Donald Trump was elected. | :27:00. | :27:03. | |
They will take office from those politicians, some of whom will | :27:04. | :27:06. | |
obviously be serving in both but were elected at the previous set of | :27:07. | :27:10. | |
elections. He is going to work with a clean sheet and it is going to be | :27:11. | :27:14. | |
a busy term in Washington, according to the president. He has picked out | :27:15. | :27:21. | |
a number of things to tackle immediately, one was Obamacare, the | :27:22. | :27:23. | |
health service reforms were introduced by the president. | :27:24. | :27:26. | |
Republicans, including President Trump has said it will be a disaster | :27:27. | :27:30. | |
and he has said it is not in the interest of the American people to | :27:31. | :27:34. | |
wait for the scheme to collapse under its own contradictions, as he | :27:35. | :27:39. | |
proceeds them. He says to expect particular price rises for Americans | :27:40. | :27:43. | |
relying upon the health insurance. That is one big commitment, others | :27:44. | :27:49. | |
were made. It'll be interesting to see how many congressmen and | :27:50. | :27:52. | |
Congresswoman will try to get pictures of Donald Trump. When you | :27:53. | :27:59. | |
are the winner, everybody is on your side, whether or not you have | :28:00. | :28:03. | |
endorsed them. He is now the leader of their party, in effect, but he | :28:04. | :28:06. | |
will have to work with them and he will have to recognise that there | :28:07. | :28:10. | |
are going to be quite a lot of pensions to surface. Let us speak | :28:11. | :28:15. | |
again to my colleague in the Washington bureau. Anthony, thank | :28:16. | :28:18. | |
you for joining us and listening to Donald Trump. What did you make of | :28:19. | :28:24. | |
that? In many ways it was Donald Trump was my greatest hits tour. He | :28:25. | :28:28. | |
spoke of winning Pennsylvania early on, and then he went through some of | :28:29. | :28:32. | |
the executive actions he has taken over the past week. He spoke of the | :28:33. | :28:40. | |
moves on the pipelines, authorising development of the pipelines, | :28:41. | :28:43. | |
talking about repealing federal regulations, as he mentioned, the | :28:44. | :28:47. | |
affordable care act. He did not really get too much into describing | :28:48. | :28:50. | |
the legislative agenda sort of thing is that Congress can work on, it was | :28:51. | :28:53. | |
more about the things he had already done. He talked about the scheduled | :28:54. | :29:01. | |
meeting with the Mexican President Nieto. It was cancelled, he has said | :29:02. | :29:06. | |
it was a joint decision on the part of both him and the Mexican | :29:07. | :29:10. | |
president and in actuality the Mexican president said earlier today | :29:11. | :29:14. | |
that he was cancelling it as a result of Donald Trump challenging | :29:15. | :29:19. | |
and goading him on Twitter that he was going to come and pledged to pay | :29:20. | :29:24. | |
for the wall. He also said that the world has taken advantage of the US | :29:25. | :29:29. | |
too much in describing US foreign policy, speaking about having more | :29:30. | :29:32. | |
bilateral trade agreements instead of multilateral trade deals. Also | :29:33. | :29:38. | |
interesting was when he started to bite mark the North American Free | :29:39. | :29:40. | |
Trade Agreement and you could tell it was a little bit awkward because | :29:41. | :29:44. | |
the Republican Party has traditionally backed that trade | :29:45. | :29:47. | |
agreement and it was a Republican President George Tubby H Bush in | :29:48. | :29:52. | |
1991 that negotiated the deal. A lot of Republicans voted for that, | :29:53. | :30:00. | |
including Democrats like Bill Clinton. It was interesting to see | :30:01. | :30:03. | |
them talking down international trade deals. On the question of | :30:04. | :30:08. | |
bilateral trade, we have to use a coming to visit the president in the | :30:09. | :30:14. | |
White House tomorrow. She, I understand, has now landed, so she | :30:15. | :30:18. | |
is in the United States but she will be addressing that issue. She is | :30:19. | :30:22. | |
very keen to get warm words from him, what will she make of that? | :30:23. | :30:27. | |
Should she be concerned about that reference that any bilateral trade | :30:28. | :30:32. | |
deals will have a 30-day termination period, sort of like the contract | :30:33. | :30:38. | |
you might have, not 14 days at least when you a washing machine or, you | :30:39. | :30:42. | |
know, the buyer can change their mind, but that is quite a short | :30:43. | :30:44. | |
potential cancellation on any great deal, isn't it? Yes, one of the ways | :30:45. | :30:50. | |
that countries deal with each other is by developing reliable agreements | :30:51. | :30:58. | |
that have any lasting power and that people can understand what the | :30:59. | :31:01. | |
country is going to do once the agreements are in place and they can | :31:02. | :31:05. | |
build their policies around that. If you are going to yank at the rug | :31:06. | :31:09. | |
within 30 days, that is pretty unprecedented. You must remember, | :31:10. | :31:13. | |
Donald Trump is coming from a business background, he is a | :31:14. | :31:16. | |
business negotiator and perhaps in business negotiations he will be | :31:17. | :31:23. | |
able to pull out really quickly, that it is part of the deal. Talking | :31:24. | :31:26. | |
about handling negotiations with the Prime Minister, personally he has | :31:27. | :31:32. | |
not had this commerce secretary confirmed yet but he gave a nod | :31:33. | :31:35. | |
operatives, suggesting he could take care of the sort of business deals. | :31:36. | :31:40. | |
-- a nod to the audience. Can I ask you something that he did not | :31:41. | :31:43. | |
mention directly in his speech and that was the debate over whether | :31:44. | :31:47. | |
water boarding would be introduced again by the government. Mitch | :31:48. | :31:53. | |
McConnell, the Senate Republican leader, he has said that at that | :31:54. | :31:57. | |
gathering, it is illegal at the moment, but of course, the ball | :31:58. | :32:02. | |
could be changed. Yes, the law could be changed, there is perhaps some | :32:03. | :32:05. | |
wriggle room that Donald Trump could find to authorise some enhanced | :32:06. | :32:10. | |
interrogation, but it is definitely driving a divide in the Republican | :32:11. | :32:14. | |
party. Paul Ryan said it was illegal and he did not want it changed. I | :32:15. | :32:19. | |
think he avoided that because it was not a receptive audience to his idea | :32:20. | :32:29. | |
on that. Thank you for your views. Let me bring you some news coming | :32:30. | :32:32. | |
into us from the press Association as he listened to Donald Trump and | :32:33. | :32:40. | |
that is that the death of a former Labour leader can DL. | :32:41. | :32:57. | |
-- Tam Dalyell. He was against powers being devolved | :32:58. | :33:18. | |
to Scotland, that was what he was well remembered for. He is the man | :33:19. | :33:25. | |
who was a sceptic about the Scottish devolution and he was a remarkable | :33:26. | :33:28. | |
advocate of his various causes, most prominently, of course, over his | :33:29. | :33:31. | |
opposition to the Iraq war. He accused Tony Blair of being a war | :33:32. | :33:37. | |
criminal. He was very much a rebel, a left-wing rebel in the | :33:38. | :33:39. | |
Parliamentary Labour Party and was Father of the House of Commons | :33:40. | :33:43. | |
having served more than 40 years as a leader. Tam Dalyell, who has died | :33:44. | :33:48. | |
at the age of 84. Now it is time, little later than | :33:49. | :33:50. | |
usual, for Sportsday. | :33:51. | :33:56. |
