Trump Dialed Into C-SPAN's New Primetime Call-In Show on the Evening of November 9: He Said He Likes to Watch the Call-Ins and That His Deportation Drive Has Been Softer Toward People Who Are Not Public Safety Threats
President Donald Trump placed a surprise call on Monday evening, November 9, into C-SPAN's newly launched program Washington Journal Primetime. It looks like we've got a call from the White House, host Mimi Geerges told viewers.
The evening broadcast gives callers from across the country additional air time to share their views on current events, in the manner of the longer-running morning Washington Journal, which Trump said he watches.
I like to watch the call-ins because it gives me a little bit of an indication of where we are, Trump said. I do okay in that. We have some great Republicans calling in, and I'm not so sure the Democrats are thrilled, but the Republicans seem to be.
Geerges used the call-in to question the president about immigration enforcement and the Iran war. Trump said his mass-deportation drive has been softer toward illegal immigrants who are not public safety threats, after the host inquired about the treatment of honest people who are just trying to make a life and paying their taxes.
We certainly haven't put the same push on them as we have on the murderers or the drug dealers, Trump said. We haven't put the same pressure on waitresses and on farm workers, etc. Not even close.
Trump also said he would be disappointed if House Republicans voted in favor of outgoing Kentucky Republican Representative Thomas Massie's impeachment resolution against Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, which could happen as early as this week. Pete has won two wars. I mean, he's been the head person in two wars, he said.
Trump deflected when asked how much longer the Iran war would last, after saying at a White House briefing hours earlier that the conflict was effectively over militarily but that he would maintain the status quo of a naval blockade. Well, it depends. I mean, we could knock it out fast, he told C-SPAN, adding that the United States was watching Iran's nuclear activity closely and that Iran could not be allowed to have a nuclear weapon.
