“I read an article today that said Bobby is really going to be great for the Republican Party in the midterms. So I have to be very careful that Bobby likes us," Trump told RFK after he gave an HHS update - including that he's commissioned droves of autism studies.

Turner talked about "opportunity zones," leading to Trump commending Sen. Tim Scott, a former 2024 rival, calling him a "good man."

"Also, the one big, beautiful bill has been allowing HUD to make sure, working with Department of Homeland Security, that every person that lives in HUD funded housing is an American citizen," Turner said.

Wiles told Turner "good job" once his portion of the meeting wrapped.

Chris Wright's turn got Trump talking about windmills -

"The windmills, by the way, are all frozen," the president said.

Wright warned of "significant blackouts" if coal plants were taken off the grid.

Trump took a whack at Gavin "Newscum" over slow permitting in LA to rebuild burned down houses, saying he's putting EPA head Lee Zeldin in charge.

"Mr. President, your Secretary of State was looking for another job," Zeldin joked.

Trump also floated allowing fire victims to rebuild their houses 10 percent larger.

"And they're losing spirit too," Trump said.

Trump said he'll block a planned low-income housing project slated for the Pacific Palisades.

"I'm not going to allow it to happen," Trump said.

After Loeffler's turn, Trump said Rubio and Hegseth were doing great job.

Hegseth gave an update on Iran -

"They have all the options to make a deal. They should not pursue nuclear capabilities. We will be prepared to deliver whatever this President expects ..." Hegseth said.

(Quote is rough, please check video.)

Trump again called out Rep. Ilham Omar.

Vance says he's here for the coffee.

Pool was pulled out at 12:59 and he took no questions.
