Michael LaRosa — who once worked as former First Lady Jill Biden&#8217;s press secretary — went scorched earth on his ex-employer during a recent Fox News appearance, saying that President Joe Biden and his family were &#8220;allergic to transparency.&#8221;
LaRosa joined &#8220;Fox &amp; Friends: Weekend&#8221; on Sunday to discuss the recently-released audio of former President Joe Biden&#8217;s interview with then-Special Counsel Robert Hur, and he commented specifically on how difficult it was for even those working for the Bidens in the White House — like himself — to get a &#8220;straight answer&#8221; out of anyone.

Host Rachel Campos Duffy asked LaRosa about the Hur interview audio, specifically questioning him on how things might have changed if the Bidens had been unsuccessful in keeping the audio out of the public square even after the transcripts were released.
&#8220;If you only knew how hard it was — I mean, this was a group in the White House who were allergic to transparency,&#8221; he said. &#8220;And I go back to my — and I&#8217;m just talking about like just in the East Wing [the First Lady&#8217;s office]. I mean, the very first day walking into the White House, the usher was fired and I couldn&#8217;t get reporters straight answers because nobody would give me straight answers.&#8221;
&#8220;It was not intuitive to them, it was not their style, to be transparent about anything,&#8221; LaRosa continued. &#8220;They took days and months to be deliberative, and I&#8217;m talking about the small things. About when the dog bites occurred, or about the wedding with the grandkids. They got caught lying to the press about press coverage because they were so scared to be transparent about anything.&#8221;
LaRosa said he eventually got to the point where he had to consider the possibility that if they were unwilling to be even the slightest bit transparent on the little things, &#8220;My God, what would happen if there were big things?&#8221;
LaRosa&#8217;s comments came just two days ahead of the release of &#8220;Original Sin&#8221; — the book from CNN anchor Jake Tapper and Axios reporter Alex Thompson on Biden&#8217;s obvious <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-book-promises-to-deliver-bombshells-but-are-they-bombshells-if-everyone-already-knew" target="_blank" rel="noopener">cognitive and physical decline</a> — and hours before Biden&#8217;s office revealed that he had an &#8220;<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/doctors-raise-questions-about-timing-of-biden-cancer-diagnosis-unbelievable-this-was-missed" target="_blank" rel="noopener">aggressive form</a>&#8221; of prostate cancer that had metastasized to his bones.

A former White House staffer shocked viewers and everyone in the studio when she collapsed mid-sentence during an appearance Thursday evening on Fox News&#8217; &#8220;Fox News at Night.&#8221;
Camryn Kinsey was External Relations Director for the Presidential Personnel Office from August 2020 until January 2021. She was responding to a question from guest host Jonathan Hunt — who was filling in for regular host Trace Gallagher — when she appeared to briefly struggle with her words and then slumped to one side, falling to the floor.

Kinsey was responding to former President Joe Biden&#8217;s Thursday appearance on ABC&#8217;s &#8220;The View,&#8221; where he had attributed former Vice President Kamala Harris&#8217; presidential campaign loss to too many voters &#8220;going the sexist route&#8221; — and also claimed that he would have won the 2024 election if he had remained on the ballot.
&#8220;This is what they have to do. They have to rewrite history because they had a failed campaign, they had a failed presidency,&#8221; Kinsey said. &#8220;They put [Kamala] as the border czar, she never went to the border, so this is about incompetency, it&#8217;s not about — ah — ideology or — ah — it&#8217;s not about — ah —&#8221;
Without another word, Kinsey slumped to her left and fell off the chair, apparently unconscious.
&#8220;Oh — Oh, my goodness,&#8221; Hunt exclaimed as staffers could briefly be seen running to assist Kinsey and the camera cut to Hunt: &#8220;We&#8217;re just going to get some help here for Camryn, let me come back to Lydia while we get some help for Camryn here. So, Lydia — we&#8217;re going to actually go to a break.&#8221;
Kinsey shared an update on X on Friday, and she did not give details about the nature of the emergency, but made it clear that she was on the mend.

Former Trump White House Staffer Collapses During Live Fox News Interview

Fox News anchor Martha MacCallum&#8217;s patience ran out during a Wednesday segment when American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten interrupted her — and called her &#8220;sweetheart&#8221; — before she was forced to backpedal and eventually apologize.
MacCallum brought Weingarten in as a guest on &#8220;The Story,&#8221; where she asked about issues raised by a current case before the United States Supreme Court — Mahmoud v. Taylor — that involves a group of parents demanding an &#8220;opt out&#8221; for certain LGBTQ-themed lessons in the Montgomery County School District in Maryland. While Weingarten said that she could not comment directly on the case, she said that she was happy to talk about the broader issues at hand.
The Fox News anchor pointed to the dismal test scores recorded across the board at that particular school district, and asked why the schools were more worried about mandating books about pronouns than about ensuring that kids were actually learning to read, write, and understand mathematics.
&#8220;Look at this. I mean this — if this isn’t a failure that needs to be so much more important than whether or not you’re reading a book about your pronouns. This is the Maryland rankings,&#8221; MacCallum said. &#8220;Fourth graders, these same little kids who’ve had these books, you know, fed to them at a very young age, their reading ranked in 2013, they were second in the nation in Maryland. 2024, 20th. Math, 16th in the nation, plummeting down to 39th. So if I were a parent in this district, I would be saying, &#8216;Please, please leave these books out of the picture teach my child to read and to do math okay, and let’s focus on why we’re there.'&#8221;
Weingarten argued that scores were going up in Massachusetts and down in Florida — which she claimed was proof that Florida&#8217;s anti-&#8220;woke&#8221; model was not working and that throwing more money at education was the answer. MacCallum pushed back, saying that Newark, New Jersey — where per capita student funding was among the highest in the nation — suggested otherwise.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
But as MacCallum was trying to make her point, Weingarten attempted to shut her down: &#8220;Martha, Martha, sweetheart, sweetheart, listen to me —&#8221;
&#8220;Please don&#8217;t call me sweetheart,&#8221; MacCallum objected, clearly fed up.
&#8220;I’m sorry — my bad,&#8221; Weingarten backpedaled, but continued to claim that education problems could be fixed with more money.
MacCallum, referencing the state of Mississippi, pointed out that what was done with that money was also important. &#8220;Well, one of the things that they’ve done in Mississippi is to expand choice. They’re also doing something really important in Mississippi, which is to expand teacher training,&#8221; she said.

While Democrats attempt to run up the score with another story about another Signal chat, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth took to the airwaves on Tuesday morning to make it clear that he has no intention of backing down.
Hegseth spoke with &#8220;Fox &amp; Friends&#8221; anchor Brian Kilmeade about the recent story, in which The New York Times alleges that Hegseth may have disclosed sensitive information in a second <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/defense-department-and-white-house-fire-back-after-latest-hegseth-hit-piece" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Signal chat group</a> — that included his wife, his brother, and his attorney — that he accessed using his personal phone rather than his government phone. National Public Radio (NPR) followed the NYT story with a headline suggesting that President Donald Trump&#8217;s White House was already searching for someone who could replace Hegseth — a claim that both Hegseth and White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt have denied.

&#8220;They&#8217;ve come after me from day one,&#8221; Hegseth told Kilmeade on Tuesday morning&#8217;s broadcast, noting that the attacks he&#8217;d endured so far were nothing compared to what had been thrown at President Trump. &#8220;I&#8217;ve gotten a fraction of what President Trump got in that first term. What he&#8217;s endured is super human.&#8221;
&#8220;It&#8217;s not hard for me to do this job, I know exactly why I&#8217;m here,&#8221; Hegseth continued. &#8220;To bring war-fighting and the war-fighting ethos back to the Pentagon. To rip out the insidious ideologies and not compromise and not back down. To bring in new press voices into the Pentagon, which we&#8217;ve done. To reestablish standards and accountability. To not tolerate leakers.&#8221;
Hegseth went on with his list, saying that regaining control of the southern border was part of his job, as was getting rid of &#8220;trans lunacy in the military.&#8221;
&#8220;We haven&#8217;t backed down,&#8221; he added, saying that in the past, people came to Washington to &#8220;play the game&#8221; and often got caught up in the lifestyle and the cocktail parties and the status quo, but it was not his intention to have any part of that.
&#8220;I’m here because President Trump asked me to bring war-fighting back to the Pentagon every single day. If people don’t like it, they can come after me, no worries. I’m standing here, the warfighters are behind us, our enemies know they&#8217;re on notice, our allies know we are behind them, and that in this dangerous world, for the American people, is what it is all about,&#8221; he said.

Vice President JD Vance made it clear on Thursday that President Donald Trump&#8217;s administration had no intention of slowing down efforts to deport criminal illegal aliens, regardless of what &#8220;far Left Democrats&#8221; thought of their policies.
Vance joined &#8220;Fox &amp; Friends&#8221; host Lawrence Jones to discuss the Trump administration&#8217;s deportation efforts — which have resulted in a number of suspected gang members allegedly affiliated with either MS-13 or Tren de Aragua being delivered to a mega-prison in El Salvador.
Jones asked specifically about one case, which Democrats have been using as evidence to claim that Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers are not thoroughly vetting people before deporting them.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Asking Vance to put his &#8220;lawyer hat&#8221; on, Jones said, &#8220;They&#8217;re pointing to one of these cases of a gentleman that they said should not have been deported to El Salvador. They said he was not connected to MS-13. What would you tell them about that case? Because they&#8217;re saying that this was a person that was a great member of society. You&#8217;ve looked at the court records. You&#8217;ve talked to the men and women on the ground, what can you tell us about that situation?&#8221;
&#8220;There have been a few cases out there where Democrats and the media say, &#8216;Oh, this person was just an innocent father of three,&#8217; and then you find out, for example — I think this is the case that you&#8217;re talking about — back in 2019 an immigration judge looked at all the evidence, looked at all the data, and concluded that this allegedly innocent person that we sent to El Salvador was actually a member of an MS-13 gang,&#8221; Vance explained. &#8220;He had also committed some traffic violations, he had not shown up for some court dates. This is not exactly father of the year, here, this a person that we don&#8217;t think should be in our country.&#8221;
&#8220;We do not ask permission from far-Left Democrats before we deport illegal immigrants. We do the American people’s business,&#8221; Vance added.
He went on to say that he didn&#8217;t understand where Democrats were coming from because they seemed far more upset about deporting illegal immigrants than they did about the victims of the crimes those illegal immigrants had committed.
&#8220;What they&#8217;re getting fired up about, what they&#8217;re most angry about, is not that Jocelyn Nungaray was murdered, but that the person who murdered her is getting shipped back home where they belong,&#8221; he said.

Fox News anchor Martha MacCallum appeared to lose her patience with Senator Chris Coons (D-DE) during a Wednesday interview on &#8220;The Story,&#8221; calling him out directly for refusing to acknowledge the massive amounts of fraud, waste, and abuse that have been uncovered by the Department Of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
MacCallum asked Coons for his reaction to the numbers that DOGE has been putting out since its inception — particularly with regard to Social Security — and the Delaware Democrat repeatedly attempted to downplay the DOGE team&#8217;s findings and dismiss them as just a &#8220;small percentage&#8221; of the federal government&#8217;s budget.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
&#8220;Were you as shocked as I was when you heard some of that — some of those numbers, some of the information about how much fraud is happening in Social Security, Senator?&#8221; MacCallum asked Coons about the DOGE findings thus far.
&#8220;So, Martha, not only do I not believe some of what was just shared there, but the Trump administration&#8217;s acting administrator of Social Security has said that less than one-tenth of one percent of the payments put out by the Social Security administration are fraudulent or in error,&#8221; Coons protested. What he did not mention was the fact that Social Security is projected to pay out some $1.6 trillion in 2025 alone, making even one-tenth of one percent a pretty hefty sum.
Coons then tried to turn the conversation back on billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk, saying that he was &#8220;alarmed&#8221; that the DOGE team could potentially have access to information on millions of Americans. &#8220;Elon Musk has made it clear that he thinks Social Security is a Ponzi scheme,&#8221; he said. &#8220;A Ponzi scheme is itself fraudulent, fake, criminal, or illegal. I don&#8217;t think Social Security is a Ponzi scheme. I think 70 million Americans depend on it for their principal source of income.&#8221;
&#8220;Too bad, because in ten years —&#8221; MacCallum referenced the increasing likelihood that Social Security would be insolvent within a decade.
&#8220;Let me ask you a question, Senator. Let me ask you a question. You&#8217;ve made a lot of points, let me ask you a question,&#8221; MacCallum tried to break through as Coons continued his rant. &#8220;You say all those millions of people depend on Social Security, so you don&#8217;t care about the ones that are going to never get it because it&#8217;s going to be insolvent in ten years. What have Democrats done? What did Joe Biden&#8217;s administration do to find the waste, fraud, and abuse in Social Security to try to shore up this important agency? What did they do? Can you tell me?&#8221;
&#8220;Sure,&#8221; Coons agreed. &#8220;Martha, you are presuming widespread waste, fraud, and abuse in Social Security. You haven&#8217;t offered any credible evidence to support that. I don&#8217;t believe what DOGE says about virtually any federal agency.&#8221;
The interview continued in that same tone until MacCallum finally called Coons out directly: &#8220;I don&#8217;t know why you don&#8217;t want to hear it! It&#8217;s like — you can&#8217;t just put your fingers in your ear and go &#8216;blah blah blah,&#8217; like it&#8217;s not happening!&#8221;

Billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk defended his work in President Donald Trump&#8217;s administration — through the Department Of Government Efficiency (DOGE) — during a Tuesday appearance on Fox News&#8217; afternoon panel show &#8220;The Five.&#8221;
Regular liberal co-host Jessica Tarlov pressed the SpaceX CEO on his efforts, suggesting that he was using DOGE to benefit himself personally — and Musk quickly pointed out the fact that he was effectively under a microscope while he was working with the Trump administration, a fact that would make it very difficult for him pull off anything underhanded even if he wanted to do so.

Tarlov first declared herself a &#8220;liberal Tesla lover&#8221; — and informed Musk that she had &#8220;not thrown any Molotov cocktails recently&#8221; — before she began her line of questions regarding DOGE.
&#8220;I wanted to talk to you about what DOGE has been doing,&#8221; Tarlov said. &#8220;So you&#8217;ve been making cuts to a lot of the agencies that have opened investigations and regulatory battles with your companies. At the same time, you continue to get billions in government contracts, Tesla gets billions in subsidies — how do you explain that to the American people?&#8221;
&#8220;Everything that DOGE does is an open book,&#8221; Musk replied. &#8220;We are the most transparent action — most transparent organization in government ever! Every single DOGE action is listed on the DOGE.gov website, it&#8217;s also listed on the X handle. So if anyone has a concern about any one of those actions, they can bring that up, they can raise that.&#8221;
Musk went on to say that he knew DOGE would make mistakes, but that they would do their best to admit them and correct them as quickly as possible.
&#8220;Nobody bats a thousand,&#8221; he added. &#8220;I am under such an extreme spotlight, so much scrutiny, that it&#8217;s literally impossible for me to get away with anything nefarious — and obviously, nor do I wish to!&#8221;
He also took questions from co-host Greg Gutfeld, who asked when Musk would be willing to join his eponymous late night show — an invitation Musk said that he would be happy to accept. Gutfeld also asked Musk what advice he might give to young people who were struggling with fear of failure on how to be less &#8220;risk-averse.&#8221;

Musk Defends DOGE: ‘Most Transparent Organization In Government Ever’

Elon Musk

Greg Gutfeld

Elon Musk said during an interview this week that his stated goal of assisting the Trump administration in eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse in the federal government would be nearly completed by June.
Musk made the remarks during a wide-ranging discussion with Fox News anchor Bret Baier in which he and other top officials from the Department of Government Efficiency&#8217;s (DOGE) initiative offered a behind-the-scenes look at their efforts to prevent the United States from going bankrupt.
Musk said their goal was to reduce the federal deficit by half, meaning cutting it by a trillion dollars.
&#8220;We want to reduce the spending by eliminating waste and fraud, reduce the spending by 15%, which seems really quite achievable,&#8221; he said. &#8220;The government is not efficient, and there&#8217;s a lot of waste and fraud. So we feel confident that 15% reduction can be done without affecting any of the critical government services.&#8221;
Baier noted that Musk was technically a &#8220;special government employee&#8221; and was supposed to be in the government for only 130 days.
&#8220;Are you going to continue past that?&#8221; Baier asked. &#8220;Or do you think that&#8217;s what you&#8217;re going to do?&#8221;
Musk responded: &#8220;I think we will have accomplished most of the work required to reduce the deficit by a trillion dollars within that time frame.&#8221;
&#8220;So in that time frame, 130 days?&#8221; Baier asked.
&#8220;Yes,&#8221; Musk responded.

Megyn Kelly announced the launch of her new “MK Media” podcast network on Tuesday and revealed who will join the network with podcasts spanning politics to entertainment.
The host of “The Megyn Kelly Show” on Sirius XM said independent journalist Mark Halperin, cultural columnist Maureen Callahan, and influencer and political commentator Link Lauren will join her new podcast network for video and audio shows.
&#8220;I&#8217;m thrilled to launch MK Media and to use our platform to help sane, reasonable, good-humored people build their own followings in this new media space,&#8221; Kelly said in a <a href="https://www.megynkelly.com/2025/03/25/megyn-kelly-launches-mk-media-podcast-network/">press release</a>.
Speaking on her show, the host said, “We are starting with three new programs out the gate, which will launch in April and May.”

&#8220;I am a huge fan of Mark’s, Maureen’s, and Link’s, and I know our audience will be as excited as I am to hear more from them,” the host said. &#8220;The first three are ‘Next Up with Mark Halperin’ from the independent journalist and best-selling author Mark Halperin; ‘The Nerve with Maureen Callahan’ from our pal Maureen who is also a columnist at The Daily Mail and best-selling author; and ‘Spot On with Link Lauren’ from the great political commentator and influencer Link Lauren.”
“I am so excited about this trio because they really cover the gamut,” she added. “If you want to hear somebody, for example, in the culture lane who devotes a whole show to just ripping on all the big stories of the day that we don’t always get to on a show like this one that is a little harder news focused, there is no one better than Maureen.”
“Mark is almost all hard news,” Kelly continued. “He doesn’t really do a lot of the culture stuff. And Link does it all, but he loves culture, he is a little younger, and I think speaks to a different audience.”
During Tuesday’s show, Kelly also said the podcast network was just the beginning.
“Look at the monopoly the Left has had on the news and the conversation for all of the country’s modern history,” the host explained. “It has only been the last couple of years that the right and the independent-minded have developed this new space.”
“So whatever I can do to help smart, honest, fact-based voices grow in that lane, I am committed to doing so,” she added. &#8220;We’ll have additional announcements soon, as we expand beyond news and entertainment.&#8221;
In February, Kelly announced an addition to her existing podcast show with the “AM Update with Megyn Kelly,” a 15-minute news program that quickly hits on news of the day.

Fox News journalist and political analyst Brit Hume had a positive reaction to President Donald Trump’s speech before a joint session of Congress on Tuesday night, calling it one of the most “effective” he’d seen in five decades of covering politics.
“This was the most boisterous, the longest, the most partisan speech I’ve ever heard a president give in this kind of setting, and I go back about maybe 50 years on this,” Hume said. “I also think it may have been the most effective. If you ever doubted that Donald Trump is the colossus, the political colossus of our time and our nation, this night and this speech should’ve put that to rest.”
Hume also called out the behavior of Democrats during Trump&#8217;s address, which included Rep. Al Green (D-TX) being escorted out of the chamber for his disruptions shortly after the speech began. The Dems who stayed remained silent and refused to stand during key moments, holding small signs with words of protest.
“The Democrats seem to be falling into trap after trap after trap as he recognized people and celebrated the people he pointed to in the gallery and their stories, while the Democrats sat glumly on their hands through all of that. It was a terrible look,” Hume continued. “Al Green’s attempt to disrupt the speech was a bad look for the Democrats. This was pretty powerful stuff, politically speaking, as powerful as I think I’ve heard.”

Trump broke the record for the longest address to a joint session of Congress after speaking for one hour and 40 minutes. The speech included personal stories about Americans along with a list of his administration’s accomplishments and promises for the future.
His <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/president-trump-touts-accomplishments-in-powerful-address-americas-momentum-is-back">speech</a> singled out specific individuals, including January Littlejohn, who Trump said was kept in the dark as her 13-year-old daughter was &#8220;secretly transitioned&#8221; by her school, and the family of Laken Riley, a 22-year-old woman brutally killed by an illegal immigrant. Trump also mentioned Corey Comperatore, who was fatally shot during the assassination attempt on Trump at a political rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
One emotional moment came when Trump made 13-year-old brain cancer survivor Devarjaye &#8220;DJ&#8221; Daniels an honorary member of the U.S. Secret Service.

Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) admitted on Tuesday that the Democratic Party&#8217;s media strategy was outdated at best — and that Republicans, according to an assessment laid out by Fox News host Jesse Watters, had their number.
Watters raised the issue during a recent broadcast of &#8220;The Five&#8221; on Fox News, where he described in detail how information got to the people in the new conservative media ecosystem.

&#8220;We are waging a 21st-century information warfare campaign against the Left and they are using tactics from the 1990s,&#8221; Watters said. &#8220;They are holding tiny press conferences, tiny little rallies. They’re screaming into the ether on MSNBC. This is what you call top-down command and control. You get your talking points from a newspaper and you put it on the broadcast network and then it disappears.&#8221;
He went on to describe the different strategies currently being implemented on the Right — strategies developed in part because the Left has long had a stranglehold on legacy media outlets in the United States.
&#8220;What you’re seeing on the Right is asymmetrical. It’s like grassroots guerrilla warfare. Someone says something on social media, Musk retweets it, Rogan podcasts it, Fox broadcasts it. And by the time it reaches everybody, millions of people have seen it. It’s free money. And we’re actually talking about expressing information. They are suppressing information,&#8221; Watters continued.
Murphy responded to the Fox News host in an X post, conceding that his assessment was correct and arguing that Democrats needed to find a way to break out of their old habits if they wanted to win.
&#8220;This is true. And until the left builds an infrastructure to confront this reality — and stops acting like political communication is still just buying millions of TV and digital ads every two years — we are cooked,&#8221; he said.

President Donald Trump said Tuesday that the media would not be successful in driving a wedge between him and his senior advisor, Elon Musk. 
Trump was asked about his relationship with Musk and the work of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) project during an interview alongside Musk conducted by Fox News host Sean Hannity. Both men were effusive in their praise of each other and said that the media would not be able to break up their alliance. 
During the interview, Hannity said that the legacy media wanted a “divorce” between Trump and Musk, adding that “they want you two to start hating each other.” 
“Oh, I see it all the time,” Trump responded. “Actually, Elon called me, he said: ‘You know they&#8217;re trying to drive us apart?’ I said, absolutely.”
&#8220;It&#8217;s just so obvious,” he added. “They&#8217;re so bad at it. I used to think they were good at it, they&#8217;re actually bad at it, because if they were good at it, I&#8217;d never be president. Because I think nobody in history has ever got more bad publicity than me.”
“But you know what I have learned, Elon? The people are smart. They get it. They really see what&#8217;s happening,&#8221; Trump added. 
The White House said this week that Musk, who has widely promoted the work of DOGE, is an “employee of the White House Office” and not the DOGE administrator. 
Musk said during the interview that one of the “biggest functions” of the DOGE team was to make “sure that the presidential executive orders are actually carried out.” 
“I just want to point this out, this is a very important thing, because the president is the elected representative of the people so he’s representing the will of the people. And if the bureaucracy is fighting the will of the people and preventing the president from implementing what the people want, then what we live in is a bureaucracy and not a democracy,” Musk said. 
Musk also praised Trump, saying he had not seen him do anything “cruel or wrong.” 
“I think President Trump is a good man,” Musk said. “The president&#8217;s been so unfairly attacked in the media, it&#8217;s really outrageous.”
When asked about their relationship, Trump praised Musk for his work with Starlink providing internet service to hurricane victims and projects at SpaceX. 
“I respect him, I’ve always respected him. I never knew that he was right about certain things,” Trump said. “I wanted somebody really smart to work with me in terms of the country.”
