On September 11, 2025, as President Trump was leaving the White House to go to the Yankees Game, he answered questions from the press. I numbered the questions in the order they appear in the video; however, I have grouped the questions by topic.
5. The Press: When Mr. President, are you planning to bring both presidents, the president of Congo, Félix Chispeke, and president of Rwanda to here?
The President: Yeah, they're coming soon. They're coming, soon. And as you know, I spoke to the foreign ministers. They were here a couple of weeks ago, as you remember. And they'll be coming soon, the presidents are coming,
6. The Press: This week, Mr. President, I witnessed more than 60 people in DRC Congo were killed. Various people affiliated with ISIS. Terrorist groups are taking advantage because of the situation going on, because of war. So what is your word for Congolese people?
The President: But we're going to be talking to them. As you know, we are talking to them. It's a very violent place. It's very, very violent. For a long time, it's been going on for 30 years, 35 years even, they say. But we're going to handle it.
10. The Press: You spoke with Uzbekistan's president, and this last time you sent greetings to Kazakhstan. UN General Assembly is upcoming. Are you going meet with the president of Central Asian countries?
The President: President where?
11. The Press: Central Asian countries (inaudible).
The President: I will be, yeah. They're very good people and I will be doing that, yes.
14. The Press: Mr. President, in Brazil Bolsonaro was just found guilty by the Supreme Court. You've been very clear that you would apply sanctions. Are you thinking further sanctions to Brazil because of this Bolsonaro?
The President: Well, I watched that trial. I know him pretty well, a foreign leader. He was a good -- I thought he was a good president of Brazil. And it's very surprising that that could happen. That's very much like they tried to do with me, but they didn't get away with it at all. But I can only say this. I knew him as president of Brazil. He was good man. And I don't see that happening.
25. The Press: Do you have a reaction to the Brazilian Supreme Court convicting Bolsonaro?
The President: I'm very unhappy about it. I know President Bolsonaro. Not so well, but I know him as a leader of a country. And I always found him to be very straight, very outstanding. Actually, as a man, a very outstanding man. I think it's a terrible thing. Very terrible. I think, actually, I think it's very bad for Brazil.
16. The Press: I'm from Israel. Channel 14 is like (inaudible).
The President: Go ahead, do it again. Do it again.
17. The Press: How do you think Israel's attacking Doha will affect the hostage deal?
The President: Well, hopefully, it won't affect it at all. We want the hostages out, and we want them out soon. Hopefully, it won't affect it.
19. The Press: Will you get to meet with Mayor Adams when you're in New York? Do you expect to?
The President: I don't expect to. I would, but I don't expect to.
26. The Press: Do you condemn Russia flying drones in Poland?
The President: Well, I hear that what happened, as you know, where they were taken down and they went a little berserk. But regardless, yes, I would condemn even for being near that line. I don't like it. I'm not happy about it. That whole thing, I'm happy about.
27. The Press: If the Supreme Court says the tariff is unconstitutional, will the 550 investment agreement with Japan be canceled?
The President: We have a great case, and everyone thinks it's going to be very successful. It's a great case. I don't see how anybody could be successful (inaudible).
The rest of the questions were about the assassination of Charlie Kirk:
1. The Press: Are you concerned for your own safety?
The President: Not really. I'm really concerned for our country. We have a great country. We have the radical left group of lunatics out there. Just absolute lunatics. And we're going to get that problem solved. I'm only concerned for the country. Yeah.
2. The Press: How do you want to see your supporters respond to this?
The President: Charlie Kirk was a big advocate of nonviolence and free speech on campus.
3. The Press: How do want your supporters to respond, sir?
The President: I think the way he was. He was an advocate of nonviolence. That's the way I'd like to see people respond.
4. The Press: Did you speak with his family this afternoon?
The President: I did. I spoke to Erika, his wife, and we had a long talk, and she's devastated. She is absolutely devastated, as you can imagine.
7. The Press: What do you think about the media that justify the murder of Charlie Kirk?
The President: I think it's terrible. They've ought to be ashamed of themselves.
8. The Press: Why haven't they found the shooter yet, Mr. President? Are you concerned that it's been 24 hours?
The President: Well, I hear they're making big progress, and we'll have to see what happens.
9. The Press: Do you have any indication of the shooter's motivation, sir?
The President: I have an indication, yeah, but we'll let you know about that later.
12. The Press: (inaudible)
The President: I'd rather not say. I think progress is being made. He's an animal, total animal. And hopefully they'll have him and they'll get him. What he did is disgraceful. Charlie Kirk was a great person, a great man, great in every way, especially with youth. And what he did, what this man did was disgraceful, so hopefully we'll have them and we will deal with them very appropriately.
13. The Press: What's your reaction to (inaudible)?
The President: It could have been a mistake, but regardless, I'm not happy about anything having to do with that whole situation, but hopefully it's going to come to an end.
15. The Press: I'm very sorry for your loss. How do you think Israel's attack in Doha will affect all people?
The President: Thank you. You've got to say it a little bit more. Where are you from? Where are you from?
18. The Press: My condolences to you sir, my condolence is on the loss of your friend Charlie Kirk. I want to ask, sir, personally, how are you holding up over the last day and a half, sir?
The President: I think very good. And, by the way, right there, you see all the trucks. They've just started construction of the new ballroom for the White House, which is something they've been trying to get, as you know, for about 150 years. And it's going to be a beauty. It'll be an absolutely magnificent structure. And I just see all of the trucks, we just started. So it'll get done very nicely, and it'll be one of the best anywhere in the world, actually. Thank you.
20. The Press: Do you have one favorite memory of Charlie?
The President: Many favorite memories. He was just a great guy. I've never seen a person that was a little bit older get along so well with youth. He got along with young people. I've ever seen anything like it. And he really helped me a lot. I did very well, as you know, with young people, and he was a big factor. How are you? All right?
21. The Press: Are you going to go to Charlie Kirk's funeral, sir?
The President: I will be. I believe it's in Arizona, and they've asked me to go. And I think I have an obligation to do that.
22. The Press: Do you know when that will be?
The President: I'm hearing the next -- I hear next weekend.
23. The Press: After your trip, after your trip?
The President: Next weekend.
24. The Press: Are you frustrated that they have not caught the perpetrator yet?
The President: Well, I hear they're making great strides, Maggie. I hear that they're make great stride. You know, they have pictures and some other things, and they found the weapon. Big factor. So, they're very talented people. Let's see what happens. Certainly, we hope we can do it soon.
28. The Press: Great speech today. What is your message to other conservative influencers, podcasters, TV hosts that they might be targeted by some of these radical groups?
The President: Well, we have to be brave in life, you know, in all fairness. We have a life, and we have be brave. I probably shouldn't be out here talking to you, in all fairness, but we will be brave, and we a great country. We have radical-left lunatics out there, and we just have to beat the hell out of them.
29. The Press: Charlie was my boss. The Press: She works for Charlie Kirk (inaudible). The Press: Charlie Kirk was my boss, and we're absolutely devastated. So I'm wondering if you have a message for our Turning Point USA family.
The President: It's a great family. They're great friends of mine. He was, I would say, nobody stronger for me than Charlie Kirk. This is a devastating moment for the country. And as you know, I'm giving him the Presidential Medal of Freedom, which is the biggest award outside of the Congressional Medal of Honor. That's the civilian version of the Congressional Medal of Honor, and he deserves it, and I look forward to it. I'll be going to his funeral.
30. The Press: Do you have a favorite moment -- you have favorite moment with Charlie Kirk?
The President: The overall person, the persona of Charlie Kirk, I mean, he was unbelievable, especially with youth. Now, he is a young guy, but older than the people he was even catering to. I've never seen anybody have such an impact on young people.
31. The Press: What was going through your mind today at delivering the speech at the Pentagon? What was it going through you mind?
The President: I felt so sad. Charlie was on my mind, even though the speech was, initially about Charlie, and then we went on to, you know, September 11th. But more than anything else, Charlie was on my mind. You know, it's very fresh and a very horrible thing. He was a great man.
32. The Press: Mr. President, what is your message to the millions of young Americans who feel like their voice, their political voice, was snuffed out (inaudible)?
The President: Hang in there. And I think Turning Point, I spoke with Erika's wife, and they have great people in Turning Point. And I they're going to carry it forward. And they're gonna make Charlie very proud, looking down on us all. But he was incredible. He really helped me with the election, too. We won youth. We did great with young people, which really doesn't happen very often with Republican candidates. You take a look at Mitt Romney and some of these others. They did so badly, and I did so well. And Charlie was a big factor. Thank you all.
The White House also added a video on Erika Kirk and the 2nd Lady & VP arriving in Arizona and one celebrating Charlie Kirk:
William enlisted to fight in the French and Indian War with his uncle (who died on September 8, 1755 during the fighting). After the war, he returned to Lebanon, opened a store, and became a pastor.
William became the Lebanon town clerk in 1752 (holding that position for 44 years). In 1776, he became a delegate to the Continental Congress replacing Oliver Wolcott when Oliver became too ill to continue serving. William was too late to vote for independence; but, he did sign the Declaration of Independence. He also served on the committee to ratify the Articles of Confederation. William gave financial support for the cause of independence. In addition, he published many writings, presenting the claims of the colonists in the press. Some of his writings are still available through the Connecticut Historical Society Museum & Library under Williams Family Papers consisting mainly of family correspondence but does include some of his personal notes, accounts, and letters relating to his activities during the Revolutionary War.
During the Revolutionary War, William did not enlist. He returned home to run his store and serve his church as a Deacon. However, in 1781, when he learned of Benedict Arnold's raid upon New London, he immediately rode the 23 miles to assist only to find the town was already in flames.
William died on August 2, 1811, at age 80 in Lebanon, New London County, Connecticut. He is interred at Old Trumbull Cemetery, in Lebanon, New London County, Connecticut.
Those are some of the exact words used by Google’s censors, aka 'Orwellian content police,' in describing many of our controversial stories. Stories later proven to be truthful and light years ahead of the mainstream media. But because we reported those 'inconvenient truths' they're trying to bankrupt ANP.
