- 0:01Trump credits tariffs with bringing factory construction and investment into the United States.
- 2:16Asked about House Republican leadership, Trump praises both Steve Scalise and Jim Jordan.

- 10:28Trump emphasizes tax cuts, deregulation, border security and stock market performance in a defense of his record.
Asked whether staffing changes are coming, Donald Trump offers an emphatic endorsement of his defense secretary: "Pete Hegseth has done a fantastic job." He dismisses replacement rumors rather than naming a new team.
That exchange sits at the center of an Oval Office question-and-answer session posted by Right Side Broadcasting Network. The upload drew about 316,000 views in six hours, already far beyond the channel's usual full-day audience for regular videos.
The title promises Trump's plan for his final two years and his confidence in Cabinet members. What viewers get is a wide-ranging press availability, rather than a single, detailed forward agenda. Trump defends his record on tariffs, taxes, regulation and border security while reporters press him on personnel and foreign policy.
On House Republican leadership, a reporter asks whether he will intervene between Steve Scalise and Jim Jordan. Trump praises both: "Those are two tremendous people, great people." On Iran, his answer is more categorical: "Remember what I said to you: Iran will never have a nuclear weapon." He also credits tariffs with encouraging factory construction and investment in the United States.
RSBN posted several other videos from the day's White House proceedings. Its full-event upload about designating the Oval Office and Cabinet Room as national monuments also drew an unusually large audience, though the question-and-answer video attracted more views. A separate signing clip covers the order itself.
