Harrison Fields, Special Assistant to the President and Principal Deputy Press Secretary, joined Joe Pags for a bold and energetic conversation straight from the White House. With President Trump back in charge and executing on his promises, Fields gave an unfiltered look at the priorities driving the administration forward—from economic revival to restoring public safety.
On the topic of tariffs, Fields called the new moves “exciting,” explaining that the president is laser-focused on helping American workers who’ve been taken advantage of for decades. “President Trump is not a status quo president,” Fields said. “He is here to serve the American people.” He laid out the truth: President Trump isn’t negotiating for global approval—he’s delivering for the people who put him in office. “This is not a negotiation,” Fields added, in a direct message to critics of Trump’s America First strategy.
Fields highlighted the administration’s view that past tariff policies weren’t always reciprocal, but that the president “could have went the most extreme way” and instead “showed a level of generosity.” Still, he made it clear that the world’s refusal to adapt has left President Trump no choice but to act. “Right now, it doesn’t seem like the world is interested in making changes,” he said, calling out the radical left and legacy media for “taking the side of people in Indonesia” while forgetting they are supposed to support Americans.
Fields teased that “tax cuts are coming,” signaling a bold economic package designed to ease the burden on everyday Americans and create a surge in domestic investment. “Lowering the income tax,” he explained, is something lawmakers and the President is considering. He also pointed to the administration’s push for major de-regulation, saying “regulation has such a stranglehold in every aspect” of American life.
On crime and immigration, Fields did not hold back. He made it clear that the President Trump administration is prioritizing victims. “If you are a member of MS-13, you don’t have to be convicted to be a member,” he said, noting that under President Trump, gang members will be deported. “You’ve got a Democrat Party being run by Jasmine Crockett, who is an absolute looney tune,” he added, blasting the current radical left leadership.
They also dove into the TikTok controversy. Fields praised President Trump’s stance to “save TikTok” through a Day 1 executive order to extend the deal, warning that “if Kamala Harris had won, TikTok would die.” He emphasized the administration’s commitment to the First Amendment and freedom from big tech censorship.
When asked about the recent swatting attack on Pags’ home, Fields didn’t flinch. “The president is aware of this,” he confirmed. “This hits home in many ways.” Drawing parallels to the attempt on President Trump’s life and the domestic terrorism against Tesla owners, Fields warned, “These swatting incidents need to stop, they are dangerous.” He ended the segment with a call for unity and spiritual strength: “Pray for decency… as God has called us to do.”
