1
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:10,240
Speaker 1: Why from Ball, Heart Plant and the Crossroads of America.

2
00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:12,000
Speaker 2: It's Tony Katz today.

3
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:15,440
Speaker 1: Oh you gotta love a good cabinet meeting. We've got

4
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:18,720
Speaker 1: war with Iran, You've got Democrats not funding the Department

5
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:22,920
Speaker 1: of Homeland Security, the everyday stuff, and a cabinet meeting

6
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:26,640
Speaker 1: on top of it. This is going to be a

7
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:30,400
Speaker 1: joy and a treat or maybe we'll learn something. Tony Katz,

8
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:33,240
Speaker 1: Tony Kats today, guys, good to be with you. Thanks

9
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:37,400
Speaker 1: for being here. I greatly appreciate it. I don't know

10
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 1: what kind of deal we think we have with the Iranians.

11
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:42,040
Speaker 1: I don't know why anybody would think we have a

12
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:46,880
Speaker 1: deal with the Iranians. Well, they rejected the fifteen point plan,

13
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:49,480
Speaker 1: and then it was Caroline Levitt saying what fifteen point plan?

14
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 2: And then it was oh, there might be a fifteen

15
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:56,760
Speaker 2: point plan. I don't know. And part of the issue

16
00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 2: is is that you've got everybody in their.

17
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 1: Influencer with their influencer hats and the influencer classic.

18
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:04,520
Speaker 2: I know what's happening, and here's what's going on, guys.

19
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:08,039
Speaker 2: Everything right now is a massive amount of misdirection.

20
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:11,319
Speaker 1: I'm still trying to get an answer to a basic question,

21
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:16,760
Speaker 1: what is the desire here a deal or the end

22
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:20,760
Speaker 1: of the regime, Because I'm interested in the end of

23
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 1: the regime, so therefore any deal could actually stick. No

24
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:30,400
Speaker 1: support of terrorism, no creation of nuclear weapons, the Iranians

25
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 1: become Persians again, and everybody decides, hey, let's go to

26
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:36,760
Speaker 1: a ran On vacation, which.

27
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 2: There could definitely be some tourism going on.

28
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 1: Anything without the Islamic Revolutionary guardcore, anything where it's not

29
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 1: an Islamic regime.

30
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 2: That's what's solid, that's what's good. This is what I favor.

31
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 1: The end of terrorism is what I favor, But I

32
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 1: don't know if that's what Trump favors. Now, for clarity,

33
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that President Trump's okay with terrorism. It's

34
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 1: not my argument. His goal may very well be no

35
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 1: more nuclear weapons. We're done here, no nuclear capability whatsoever.

36
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 2: We're done. We're finished with complete goodbye.

37
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 1: Next, get the straight back open, the oil prices come down.

38
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 1: Everybody's happy. Look at me, Look what I did, exactly

39
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:18,240
Speaker 1: what I said.

40
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 2: I was gonna do. No forever wars.

41
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:23,800
Speaker 1: No matter what people like Marjorie Taylor Green, that magnificent loser,

42
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:27,919
Speaker 1: go about claiming all of the Tucker puppets were totally

43
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 1: wrong and absolute fools done. Maybe that's his goal. The

44
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 1: first rule of trump Ism, as Trump wins. The second

45
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 1: rule of trump Ism is that a deal could always

46
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 1: be made as long as it adheres to the first

47
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 1: rule of trump Ism. I knew what I was voting

48
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:48,640
Speaker 1: for when I voted for him three times. I'm aware

49
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:52,799
Speaker 1: no one I should only hope by now, guys, none

50
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 1: of us are playing for ten. None of us are

51
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:59,639
Speaker 1: playing make believe. We know what's what, We know what

52
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 1: it is that we voted for. We know his own

53
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 1: personal issues, we don't know his own personal limitations.

54
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 2: But we also know the successes that we can get.

55
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 1: And I weigh the successes against the insanity, and I

56
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 1: take the successes, and I don't let the insanity.

57
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 2: Drive me crazy.

58
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 1: I push back on them. But it's still better than

59
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:24,919
Speaker 1: anything the progressives are giving us. By multitudes, it's better

60
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 1: than anything the progressives are.

61
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 2: Giving us.

62
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:33,639
Speaker 1: That you know, we're into the real politique. Here was

63
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 1: it real politique? This is the way things are, not

64
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 1: necessarily what we want, but the way they are. And

65
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 1: how do we work within that? And how do we

66
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 1: strive to make it just a little bit better. Actually,

67
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 1: everything about this really brings me back to my I

68
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 1: won't say it's my original thesis, but for me, in

69
00:03:55,640 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 1: terms of guiding principles, the idea of incrementalism, there are

70
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 1: indeed places and moments where I am an all or

71
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 1: nothing guy, and I think that if we're all honest

72
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 1: about our personal lives or professional lives, we have that

73
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 1: moment where we are all or nothing in the main,

74
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 1: I'll take a little bit here and a little bit there,

75
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 1: and just try and grow it a little bit the

76
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:21,279
Speaker 1: next day, in a little bit more the next day,

77
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 1: bit by bit, and piece by peace, getting to where

78
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 1: we want to be heading in that direction, because I

79
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,160
Speaker 1: think that that is you know, some people may call

80
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 1: that the pragmatic course. I think that's actually conservatism. I

81
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 1: think that's the rational play. Not Hey, this is the

82
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 1: world I dream of, This is the world as it is,

83
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 1: And how do we get it a little bit better?

84
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 2: And how do we get it a little bit better?

85
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 1: Do I think I could take thirty nine trillion dollars

86
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:51,919
Speaker 1: worth of debt and reduce it to zero overnight?

87
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:52,159
Speaker 3: No?

88
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 1: But can we take thirty nine and make it thirty?

89
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 1: Can we take thirty nine and make it thirty Yes,

90
00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:00,719
Speaker 1: I know I'm talking about trillions. I get thirty five

91
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 1: at least can we drop it by four trillion dollars?

92
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 1: Can we just start? That's That's really where I'm at.

93
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 1: Here are the guiding principles, right, that's the conservatism you

94
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:17,040
Speaker 1: can You can say that.

95
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 2: I'm a small l liberal, like a classical liberal. I

96
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:21,719
Speaker 2: could go with that as well.

97
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:25,920
Speaker 1: And now how do I get people to come with

98
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 1: me on this journey, this adventure of this philosophy and

99
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 1: get a little bit better each time? With Trump, I

100
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 1: get a little bit better than anything the political left

101
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 1: can give me, anything the political left can give me.

102
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 1: That doesn't mean I agree with everything. It doesn't mean

103
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:47,600
Speaker 1: you agree with everything. And short as hell means that

104
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 1: when I think he's wrong, I say, so what does

105
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:53,919
Speaker 1: it matter? He's got to call me a name, somebody

106
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:57,160
Speaker 1: else is gonna be mad at me. So what that

107
00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 1: is inconsequential.

108
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 2: To what it is We're trying to do. What it

109
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 2: is we're trying to get done.

110
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 1: So when it comes to Iran, I want to get

111
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 1: rid of the regime completely. I want the IRGC broken

112
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 1: into never to reconstant and recover. I want a free Iran,

113
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 1: which means no support of terrorism and no nuclear weapons.

114
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:19,360
Speaker 2: Better for me, better for you.

115
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:22,039
Speaker 1: And we get to stop talking about the Middle East,

116
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 1: which would be awesome.

117
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 2: So I'd be overjoyed.

118
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:27,920
Speaker 1: We got a lot of places to talk about, starting

119
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 1: with the United States.

120
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 2: Let's do that.

121
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 1: Trump different Trump sees it differently, and maybe his philosophy

122
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:42,600
Speaker 1: is what we are. What we can do is, uh,

123
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 1: just get rid of the nuclear weapons program. They're not

124
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:47,720
Speaker 1: gonna be able to reconstitute that. That's what we said

125
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 1: we were going in for. That's what we got done.

126
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:51,839
Speaker 2: That's it. Goodbye.

127
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:56,680
Speaker 1: And when you see oil prices as you see them,

128
00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 1: where the West Texas crewed is back over ninety dollars

129
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 1: a barrel and the Brent crud is well over one hundred,

130
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 1: one hundred and five hundred and six.

131
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:08,160
Speaker 2: And it could end differently, like like when.

132
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 1: You see it right now as you're hearing this, it

133
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 1: could be in a much different place. Trump once up

134
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 1: to at least back down in the eighties and back

135
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 1: into the seventies, and gas that's at an average four

136
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 1: dollars and seven cent, well, no, it's three ninety eight

137
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 1: across the country. On average, so four dollars gas back

138
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 1: down to three dollars. Well, it's a lot easier to

139
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 1: win reelection, I should say, win the midterms that way,

140
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 1: a lot lots easier. And maybe that's enough for him.

141
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 1: But the president held the cabinet meeting. I'm going to

142
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 1: share with you as much of the cabinet meeting as

143
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 1: I can.

144
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 2: I don't know what's going to get said. I'm going

145
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 2: to do this with you.

146
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 1: But you've got so many people and in so many

147
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 1: ways engaged. What how does Marco Rubio see it? And

148
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 1: what's going on with Secretary Kennedy Health and Human Services?

149
00:07:58,120 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 1: What are we going to hear from the Department of War?

150
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 1: What are we gonna hear from from the DOJ and

151
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 1: Pam Bondi And by the way, Pam Bondi is still there.

152
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 1: Is Lori Chavez DeRemer, who is accused of getting on

153
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 1: with a staffer, a Secretary of Labor. She's showing up.

154
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 1: What is Chris Wright, the Secretary of Energy. You have

155
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 1: to say, do they have anything interesting to say?

156
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 2: Or is it?

157
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 1: Everything's going great, mister president. You're doing a great job,

158
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 1: mister President. Well done, mister President. All that crap that

159
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 1: I hate. The sickophan stuff is the worst part of

160
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 1: this administration. It's the worst. Don't blow smoke, tell us

161
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 1: what's going on, give the update, give the advice, move on.

162
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 1: Less blowing smoke, more blowing up the regime until they're gone.

163
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:45,720
Speaker 2: I mean, we're there. You decided to go in.

164
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 1: I just believe in ending the job, finishing the job,

165
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 1: ending the regime. I think it's better for everybody. And

166
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:57,200
Speaker 1: I kind of am stunned by the people who don't

167
00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 1: see that. I wonder what they think is better or

168
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:04,559
Speaker 1: is it just in that influencer class, just complaining is better.

169
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:08,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, that probably gets you more clicks. Keep it here.

170
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 2: This is Tony Kats Today.

171
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:16,680
Speaker 1: Find everything at tonycats dot com. Oh, everybody's so happy

172
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 1: around the table, Tony Katz, Tony Kats Today.

173
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:21,200
Speaker 2: Good to be with you.

174
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 1: There's Pete Hegseeth. There's a good Susie Wiles. Oh, there's

175
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 1: Howard Lutnick. I'm surprised to let Lutnick at the table

176
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:31,960
Speaker 1: after some of those Jeffrey Epstein conversations.

177
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 2: I'm not kidding about that all.

178
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:37,560
Speaker 1: Mark Wade Mullins, Secretary of Homeland Security, his first cabinet meeting.

179
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 1: It's cabinet meeting in the middle of a war, in

180
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 1: the middle of the DHS shutdown. There is a lot

181
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 1: that can get mentioned. So President Trump has him assembled.

182
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:47,559
Speaker 1: I want to bring you as much of this as

183
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:50,680
Speaker 1: possible because and you guys know that I'm a fan

184
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 1: of this, and the reason is is that very often

185
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:57,720
Speaker 1: what we get are curated clips from influencers, news media,

186
00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 1: et cetera. I want to bring a as much of

187
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:03,200
Speaker 1: what really happens to you because very often within that

188
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 1: you get to hear things, and I get to hear

189
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 1: things that other people aren't sharing, and we might find

190
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 1: that actually more important, more telling about what's going on. Meanwhile,

191
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 1: the President is there, everybody's assembled, all their Scott Besant

192
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:18,960
Speaker 1: hair is looking perfect, and let the games begin.

193
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:20,559
Speaker 4: Are you already?

194
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 5: A lot of media as usual? So thank you to

195
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 5: the incredible members of my cabinet.

196
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 4: They're doing a phenomenal job. And everybody pretty much agrees.

197
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 5: To that, including our newest member, Secretary of Homeland Security,

198
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 5: Mark Wayne Mullen.

199
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:48,720
Speaker 4: Thank you, March and we all know him very well.

200
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:52,760
Speaker 5: And he was a very popular senator, very effective senator effective,

201
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:55,719
Speaker 5: probably being the more important words JD Energy, I think

202
00:10:56,640 --> 00:11:01,199
Speaker 5: and we wish you a lot of luck, do fantastically well.

203
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:05,959
Speaker 5: Congratulations to you an amazing family that were here yesterday

204
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 5: in the Oval sworn in.

205
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:10,080
Speaker 4: His family is amazing, So thank you very much.

206
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 5: We're now one day forty one of the disgraceful Democrats

207
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 5: shutdown of Mark Wayne's department.

208
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:20,880
Speaker 4: Congratulations, he came.

209
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 5: To a department that shut down, shut down by the

210
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:29,360
Speaker 5: radical Democrats. But Democrats are really punishing the American people.

211
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:31,839
Speaker 5: I saw it today on one of the shows where

212
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 5: they were interviewing people at the airport, and they're all

213
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 5: angry at the Democrats. They're saying, they're actually angry at Schumer.

214
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 5: I don't think anyone knew his name. One woman said

215
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 5: that Schumer is disgraceful. He's a disgrace to our country.

216
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:46,199
Speaker 5: But they're angry at the Democrats. They know what's happening,

217
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 5: but they're punishing the American people, including travelers at airports

218
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:54,560
Speaker 5: all and the quest to return to open borders and

219
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 5: give amnesty to illegal alien criminals. They want to give

220
00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:02,600
Speaker 5: amnesty to some of the criminals that came into our country,

221
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:03,560
Speaker 5: just about all of them.

222
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:04,720
Speaker 4: Actually, if you look at it.

223
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 5: They love sanctuary cities, which is a sanctuary for criminals.

224
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 5: They want to make sure they're taken care of. That's

225
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 5: what we're fighting about. That's really what they're the don't

226
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 5: talk about that, but that's what they're fighting about. They

227
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:20,560
Speaker 5: want to protect the criminals in many eleven and eighty

228
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 5: eight murders. Many of them, I will say, are gone

229
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 5: now because of us. We got them out, but we

230
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 5: still have some left. Should it never happened, should have

231
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:32,560
Speaker 5: never been allowed to come into our country. But we're

232
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:33,959
Speaker 5: not going to let it happen. We're not going to

233
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 5: let the Democrats get away with this stuff. And people

234
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 5: are wise to them. So they need to end the

235
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:44,840
Speaker 5: shutdown immediately or we'll have to take some very drastic measures.

236
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:48,720
Speaker 1: I have to assume that's what Senator Kennedy wants. John

237
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 1: Kennedy out of Louisiana. Always a catchphrase to make you smile.

238
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:55,680
Speaker 1: His argument is, what are we doing with these people?

239
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:59,440
Speaker 1: These people are crazy forget them. Let's go do this

240
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 1: whole thing, be a reconciliation, so real quick. The process

241
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:06,360
Speaker 1: in the Senate is you have to open debate and

242
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:08,600
Speaker 1: you have to close debate before you get to a vote.

243
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:12,560
Speaker 1: The vote can be fifty one, right, simple majority, But

244
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 1: to open debate and to close debate, you need sixty votes.

245
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 2: Cloture clo t ure.

246
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 1: That's what it is, parliamentary procedure aimed at bringing a debate.

247
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 2: To an end.

248
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:34,560
Speaker 1: Since you can't get over that sixty vote threshold because

249
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:38,560
Speaker 1: Democrats won't come on board to be rational people, you

250
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 1: can utilize reconciliation. Reconciliation refers to budget items. It can

251
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:49,679
Speaker 1: only be utilized when talking about dollars. When it is reconciliation,

252
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:54,319
Speaker 1: the sixty vote threshold disappears and you only need the

253
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:57,200
Speaker 1: simple majority fifty plus one. Now if Mark Waynemullen can

254
00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:01,559
Speaker 1: get confirmed with fifty four votes to two Democrats coming across,

255
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:05,800
Speaker 1: by the way, well then it is fair to say

256
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 1: you will have enough Republican votes. And even if you

257
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 1: get to a fifty to fifty tie, you have the

258
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:13,640
Speaker 1: tie break with the Vice President Jade Vans, the vice

259
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 1: President being the president of the Senate. So you either

260
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 1: have President Trump saying the more drastic thing is the

261
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 1: removal of the filibuster, or I think you go to

262
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 1: Cenator Kennedy. Way, do the whole thing be a reconciliation,

263
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:28,240
Speaker 1: assuming that you can that he's correct about this and

264
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:33,920
Speaker 1: just move past these absolutely pathetic democrats in the Senate.

265
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 5: This morning, I want to give an update on the

266
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 5: Operation Epic Fury, which is an appropriate name because we

267
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 5: are absolutely obliterating them.

268
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 4: Over the past three weeks, we've been.

269
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:51,640
Speaker 5: Hitting Iran's military capabilities at a level that few people

270
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:55,240
Speaker 5: have ever seen before. People never knew there was such

271
00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 5: a capability. We had the strongest military anywhere in the

272
00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 5: world by far. I built it during my first administration,

273
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:07,200
Speaker 5: and I used it during my second administration, unfortunately because

274
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:07,880
Speaker 5: I'd rather.

275
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:08,600
Speaker 4: Not have to use it.

276
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 5: But it's a display of force and precision and skill

277
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:15,560
Speaker 5: like nothing the world has really witnessed, although you get

278
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 5: a pretty good witnessing of it invent as well.

279
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 4: Also, that was a smaller version of what we're doing now.

280
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:26,560
Speaker 5: We're crushing their missiles and drone stock piles, destroying the

281
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 5: defense industrial base.

282
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:31,760
Speaker 4: We've wiped out their navy completely.

283
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:36,280
Speaker 5: Their air force completely, We've wiped out a large percentage

284
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:40,760
Speaker 5: of their missiles and the missile launchers. Without the launchers,

285
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 5: you can't the missiles don't do any good.

286
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:47,000
Speaker 4: And we've knocked out probably close to.

287
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:51,360
Speaker 5: Ninety percent of the launchers, probably more than ninety percent

288
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 5: of the missiles themselves, between some of they fired and

289
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:55,760
Speaker 5: more than they.

290
00:15:55,600 --> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 4: Fired we knocked out. We've also destroyed a lot of

291
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 4: the factories.

292
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:03,320
Speaker 5: Were continuing to do that, but a lot of the

293
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 5: factories where they manufacture the drones and the missiles.

294
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:08,120
Speaker 4: The drones two are way down.

295
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:11,640
Speaker 5: But the reason they're down is they go one way.

296
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:14,280
Speaker 5: They don't come back because for the most part, we're

297
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 5: shooting them down. But we also are able to We've

298
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:21,160
Speaker 5: really done tremendous damage to the places where they make them.

299
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:23,960
Speaker 5: And just so we set the record straight, because I've

300
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:27,080
Speaker 5: been watching the Wall Street Journal's Stake News and all

301
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 5: these stories that get printed like.

302
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:31,400
Speaker 4: Oh, I want to make a deal. They are begging

303
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 4: to make a deal, not me. They're begging to make

304
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:36,920
Speaker 4: a deal. And anybody that saw what.

305
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 5: Was happening over there would understand why they want to

306
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 5: make a deal. But they say, oh, we're not talking

307
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:44,200
Speaker 5: to anybody would know that to it.

308
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 4: And only a total find they're not fools.

309
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:50,320
Speaker 5: They're very smart actually in a certain way, and they're

310
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 5: great negotiators. I say they're lousy fighters, but they're great negotiators,

311
00:16:55,600 --> 00:17:00,600
Speaker 5: and they are begging to work out a deal. I

312
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:02,040
Speaker 5: don't know if we'll be able to do that. I

313
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:04,120
Speaker 5: don't know who are willing to do that. They should

314
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 5: have done that four weeks ago. They should have done

315
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:10,199
Speaker 5: it two years ago, or they should have done it

316
00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:13,840
Speaker 5: when we first came into office, because two years ago,

317
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:18,080
Speaker 5: that free reign under Biden, Sleepy Joe, worst president in

318
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:20,639
Speaker 5: the history of our country, what he allowed to happen

319
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:23,280
Speaker 5: to our country at the borders, and even with a

320
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:26,640
Speaker 5: thing like this, but not just him, every president for

321
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 5: forty seven years, every president should have done this. They

322
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:30,960
Speaker 5: should have done it a long time ago, because you

323
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:34,359
Speaker 5: cannot give lunatics a nuclear weapon.

324
00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:38,200
Speaker 1: And you correct, you cannot give lunatics a nuclear weapon.

325
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:40,439
Speaker 1: You cannot allow terrorism to fester.

326
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:42,399
Speaker 2: You can't.

327
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:42,720
Speaker 4: Now.

328
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:45,639
Speaker 1: As for this idea of we're trying to make a

329
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:50,159
Speaker 1: deal and we presented them deals and all, there is

330
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:53,440
Speaker 1: no knowing what's really going on behind the scenes. They

331
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:55,399
Speaker 1: know and we don't.

332
00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:56,679
Speaker 2: Now.

333
00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:59,639
Speaker 1: I think that this bothers a great number of people.

334
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 1: I'm not someone bothered by it. I've always accepted the

335
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 1: idea that part of the electing of leaders is that

336
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:10,800
Speaker 1: their job is to handle the thing, and you don't

337
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:13,960
Speaker 1: always get to know everything. Now, when secrets are kept

338
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:18,000
Speaker 1: from Americans because things are being utilized against Americans, well

339
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:23,440
Speaker 1: that's a different conversation. But I don't need to know everything.

340
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 1: I accept the fact that misdirection takes place, and I

341
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 1: think that that has been brought back into the fold

342
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:38,600
Speaker 1: of this of our presentation of our policies in a good,

343
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 1: smart and valuable way.

344
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:43,679
Speaker 2: It has been important that this take place.

345
00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:47,760
Speaker 1: Should we have dealt with the Iranian threat before this,

346
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:52,720
Speaker 1: absolutely no question that we should have. I should, however,

347
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:56,040
Speaker 1: give it the caveat that I think. I don't know

348
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:57,840
Speaker 1: if the presidents he certainly won't. I don't know if

349
00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:00,680
Speaker 1: he knows, he even think that he has, But I

350
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 1: give it. It is possible to say that when we

351
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:08,280
Speaker 1: were talking about Iran in the eighties and the nineties,

352
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:13,480
Speaker 1: maybe though we were massively strong, maybe we were concerned

353
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:15,919
Speaker 1: about other things, about what the Iranians could do in

354
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 1: their possibilities, where the capabilities were that we didn't note

355
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:21,000
Speaker 1: because we didn't have that level of advancement in the

356
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:25,960
Speaker 1: technology to know everything. It's possible possible to give a

357
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:29,280
Speaker 1: grace there but as a concept, the Iranians had to

358
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:31,480
Speaker 1: be dealt with. This regime had to be dealt with,

359
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:35,199
Speaker 1: and now it's getting dealt with. Let's get into this

360
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:37,119
Speaker 1: cabinet meeting and hear what some of the other cabinet

361
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:39,520
Speaker 1: officials have to say. More is coming up. This is

362
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:47,679
Speaker 1: Tony Kats today. So the cabinet meeting continued, and I'm

363
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:50,920
Speaker 1: bringing it to you because when Trump gets on a roll,

364
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:55,000
Speaker 1: I don't know, it's just such a joy and sometimes

365
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 1: in those stream of consciousness moments you actually learned something

366
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:02,080
Speaker 1: about the man. Tony Katz. Tony Kats today, good to

367
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:04,879
Speaker 1: be with you. So as he's talking, making the opening

368
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:08,959
Speaker 1: statement about what's going on with Iran, he gets into

369
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:17,360
Speaker 1: NATO and the UK. Yeah, he's he's throwing punches as

370
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 1: he does.

371
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:21,119
Speaker 4: Get dragged into their wars. Either one thing.

372
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:24,200
Speaker 5: We're very disappointed, I'll say it publicly. We're very disappointed

373
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:27,719
Speaker 5: with NATO because NATO has done absolutely nothing.

374
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:30,800
Speaker 4: And I've always said twenty five years ago, I.

375
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:33,639
Speaker 5: Mean I was somebody that wasn't a politician, but I

376
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:37,480
Speaker 5: was always involved in politics and I understood politics. I

377
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:40,199
Speaker 5: said twenty five years ago that NATO's a paper tiger,

378
00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:44,119
Speaker 5: but more importantly that we'll come to their rescue, but

379
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:44,880
Speaker 5: they will never.

380
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:47,600
Speaker 4: Come to ours. And I want you to remember that.

381
00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:50,120
Speaker 5: We said this, they didn't come to our rescue. Now

382
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:53,880
Speaker 5: they all want to help when they're annihilated. The other

383
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:57,000
Speaker 5: side is annihilated. They said we'd love to send ships.

384
00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:00,560
Speaker 5: Actually made a statement a couple of them that we

385
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 5: want to get involved when the war's over. No, it's

386
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:07,080
Speaker 5: supposed to get involved with the wars beginning, or even

387
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:10,920
Speaker 5: before it begins. We had the UK say that we'll

388
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:14,480
Speaker 5: send this is three weeks ago. We'll send our aircraft carriers,

389
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 5: which aren't the best aircraft carriers by the way, the

390
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:20,040
Speaker 5: toys compared to what we have. But we'll send our

391
00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:23,120
Speaker 5: aircraft carrier when the war's over.

392
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:26,199
Speaker 4: I said, oh, it's wonderful, thank you very much. We

393
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:29,960
Speaker 4: don't bother. We don't need it and we don't need

394
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:31,160
Speaker 4: it and we don't need them.

395
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:34,600
Speaker 5: We estimated it would take approximately four to six weeks

396
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:38,560
Speaker 5: to achieve our mission, and we're way ahead of schedule.

397
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 5: If you look at what we've done in terms of

398
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:45,640
Speaker 5: the destruction of that country have been we're way ahead.

399
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:48,439
Speaker 4: Think of it. They have no navy and they had

400
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:48,960
Speaker 4: good ships.

401
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:51,399
Speaker 5: One hundred and fifty four ships have been shot down

402
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 5: and are resting very nicely at the bottom of the sea.

403
00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:58,320
Speaker 4: And we did that in a matter of less than

404
00:21:58,359 --> 00:21:58,680
Speaker 4: a week.

405
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:02,120
Speaker 5: Who had the greatest military in the world by far,

406
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:03,919
Speaker 5: nobody even close.

407
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:07,720
Speaker 4: So we estimated it would take approximately for this.

408
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 2: We'll stop him here just for a second.

409
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:12,680
Speaker 1: I know, four to six weeks in all this jazz,

410
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:14,399
Speaker 1: and then you tell us you're ahead of schedule, but

411
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:18,520
Speaker 1: we don't know the schedule. The schedule means in the

412
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:21,119
Speaker 1: end of this timeframe we will have done X. And

413
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:25,440
Speaker 1: the question, of course, is what is X. This is

414
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 1: the key question, the fundamental Is this about the end

415
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:37,360
Speaker 1: of the regime or is this just about eliminating nuclear capability?

416
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:43,440
Speaker 1: Which one is it? That's the question. And then he

417
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:47,119
Speaker 1: got into of course markets, what's going on with oil

418
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:52,040
Speaker 1: and how things are affecting Americans and trade and farmers.

419
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:54,919
Speaker 5: Fifty thousand doing a four year pariot because it was

420
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:55,760
Speaker 5: too high.

421
00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:57,840
Speaker 4: Number one, we hit it in our first year.

422
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:00,800
Speaker 5: And I said, well, well, now we have to take

423
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:04,200
Speaker 5: an excursion to Iran and we have to stop this maniac.

424
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:09,359
Speaker 4: There's no longer with us. The supreme leader wasn't so

425
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:11,840
Speaker 4: supreme no longer with us.

426
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:16,080
Speaker 5: Very said, but we have to stop him from blowing

427
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:18,160
Speaker 5: up the world, blowing up the Middle East, and blowing

428
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:18,960
Speaker 5: up our country.

429
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:19,480
Speaker 4: And we did that.

430
00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:24,840
Speaker 5: And I thought, frankly, I thought the old prices would

431
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:27,280
Speaker 5: go up more, and I thought the stock market would

432
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 5: go down more. Hasn't been nearly as severe as I thought.

433
00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:34,000
Speaker 5: I think they have confidence, and maybe the American President

434
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:37,920
Speaker 5: and maybe the people sitting around this table, but Americans

435
00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:42,480
Speaker 5: finally their taxes this year, receiving record setting refunds. It's

436
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 5: been a very big story. Well it should be a

437
00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:46,120
Speaker 5: big story. I don't think you read about it that much.

438
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:50,439
Speaker 5: I speak about it, you know, I speak about it

439
00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:52,119
Speaker 5: because if I speak about it, at least.

440
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:53,320
Speaker 4: People here you don't write about it.

441
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 5: You don't write about the drug prices going down. It'll

442
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:04,119
Speaker 5: be going down thirty four fifty sixty seventy percent favored

443
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:07,120
Speaker 5: nations called most favored nations. We're going to be paying

444
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:09,359
Speaker 5: the lowest price anywhere in the world. Before we paid

445
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:12,400
Speaker 5: the highest price in the world, Bobby right, And now

446
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:14,320
Speaker 5: we're going to pay the lowest price in the world.

447
00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:15,640
Speaker 4: That's quite a difference.

448
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:20,800
Speaker 5: It's a difference of from forty to seventy and eighty

449
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:24,359
Speaker 5: and even ninety percent. That's a pretty big difference. But

450
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:27,880
Speaker 5: with slashing regulations, an investment is pouring in from all

451
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:30,840
Speaker 5: over the world. We have the most investment of any

452
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:34,119
Speaker 5: country in history has been put into our country in

453
00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:35,160
Speaker 5: the last year.

454
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 4: And again we had to take a little detour. Won't

455
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:40,000
Speaker 4: be long, gonna end soon.

456
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:44,680
Speaker 5: We had to take a little detour go to Irn

457
00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:47,880
Speaker 5: and we had to put out a fire, very dangerous

458
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:50,760
Speaker 5: fire that could have blown up big portions of the world.

459
00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:51,880
Speaker 4: If not the whole thing.

460
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:55,240
Speaker 2: You can't call it an excursion. You can't call it

461
00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:56,000
Speaker 2: a detour.

462
00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:58,960
Speaker 1: When you have dead soldiers and you're putting people on

463
00:24:59,000 --> 00:24:59,720
Speaker 1: the line.

464
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:02,639
Speaker 2: You have to present it better than that. It's just

465
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:03,720
Speaker 2: it's gonna help him.

466
00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:06,320
Speaker 1: Don't get mad at me. It's gonna help him if

467
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:10,040
Speaker 1: he just does it. If you would just listen. Oh,

468
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:12,800
Speaker 1: you could argue, Tony, that's just a personal.

469
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:12,959
Speaker 2: Thing with you.

470
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:16,320
Speaker 1: It drives you nuts. You're you're the only person it's

471
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:21,440
Speaker 1: driving nuts. I doubt that, but sure. Then the president

472
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:23,399
Speaker 1: started to move it around the horn. I believe it

473
00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:26,760
Speaker 1: started with Vice President of Vance he please.

474
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:27,600
Speaker 2: Yes, sir, thank you.

475
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:30,080
Speaker 3: It's good to see everybody proud to be part of

476
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:32,200
Speaker 3: the scene, proud to be serving the president of the country.

477
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:33,480
Speaker 2: They just say a couple of things.

478
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:37,040
Speaker 3: So, first of all, is the President summarized this very ably,

479
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:41,919
Speaker 3: But look, the Iranian conventional military is effectively destroyed. They

480
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:43,879
Speaker 3: don't have a navy, they don't have the ability to

481
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:45,640
Speaker 3: hit us like they could have even a few weeks ago.

482
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:48,680
Speaker 2: And what that does is that gives us options, mister President. Now,

483
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:50,200
Speaker 2: there's been a lot of reporting.

484
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:53,639
Speaker 3: About diplomatic options, about negotiations. There's, of course Pete and

485
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:56,439
Speaker 3: his team. There are further military options. But what we

486
00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:59,160
Speaker 3: have now that we didn't have when the President took

487
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:01,520
Speaker 3: over just a little over a year ago, is the

488
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:05,680
Speaker 3: ability to use every tool at our disposal to ensure

489
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:08,240
Speaker 3: that Iran doesn't get a nuclear weapon. Because when I

490
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:10,840
Speaker 3: say options, I think it's important the American people know

491
00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:14,520
Speaker 3: options for what, and it's options to ensure that Iran

492
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:17,280
Speaker 3: never has a nuclear weapon. You talk about people who

493
00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:19,639
Speaker 3: walk into a crowded supermarket and have a vest on

494
00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:21,680
Speaker 3: and they blow up the vest and a couple of

495
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:23,960
Speaker 3: people get killed, and that's a terrible tragedy. What happens

496
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:26,080
Speaker 3: when what's on the vest it's not something that can

497
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:28,680
Speaker 3: kill a couple of people, but can kill many, many,

498
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:29,919
Speaker 3: tens of thousands of people.

499
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:32,199
Speaker 2: That is the most important.

500
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:35,679
Speaker 3: American national security objective that exists for any administration at

501
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:38,240
Speaker 3: any time is you don't want the worst people in

502
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:40,159
Speaker 3: the world to have a nuclear weapon. That's why the

503
00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:42,919
Speaker 3: President is doing this, That's why the President cares so

504
00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:45,480
Speaker 3: much about this particular issue. All let's see you talk

505
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:48,520
Speaker 3: a little bit about the details of the negotiation. But

506
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:50,880
Speaker 3: the last thing I'll say before I turn it over

507
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:53,679
Speaker 3: to Marco is I'm very mindful, of course, that we

508
00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 3: have a lot of folks overseas fighting very ably for

509
00:26:56,640 --> 00:26:59,200
Speaker 3: the United States of America and heat and the whole team.

510
00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:00,440
Speaker 2: We're very proud of them.

511
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:04,280
Speaker 3: But they're fighting at a time where we're about to enter,

512
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:08,280
Speaker 3: as Christians the most important week of the Christian calendar,

513
00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:11,200
Speaker 3: the Holy Week that celebrates the return of Jesus Christ

514
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:13,360
Speaker 3: to Jerusalem. And so I want to say to all

515
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:16,480
Speaker 3: of my fellow American Christians, but particularly those serving in

516
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:19,159
Speaker 3: the Gulf, that I wish you all very blessed Easter,

517
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:23,040
Speaker 3: a very blessed Holy week, and we continue to stand

518
00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:25,200
Speaker 3: behind you and continue to support you every step of

519
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:25,440
Speaker 3: the way.

520
00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:26,120
Speaker 4: Thank you, sir.

521
00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:31,639
Speaker 1: Now let it we could actually break down for a while.

522
00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:37,320
Speaker 1: How intentional that was from the Vice president? How purposeful

523
00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:43,080
Speaker 1: people are going to read into this level of coded right,

524
00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:44,040
Speaker 1: because that's.

525
00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:47,400
Speaker 2: What they're going to do. Can I just take a moment.

526
00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:54,040
Speaker 1: Very nice gesture, very nice gesture, good reminder, good recognition,

527
00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:57,199
Speaker 1: Zero issue with it whatsoever because I'm not going to

528
00:27:57,240 --> 00:27:59,719
Speaker 1: read into it. Other people are going to do that.

529
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:05,399
Speaker 1: Can I say, ah, bless your heart me. It's Easter

530
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:10,760
Speaker 1: and it is for a lot of people very important.

531
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:16,600
Speaker 1: It is the basis of their entire belief system. I

532
00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:21,119
Speaker 1: think noting that, recognizing that, wanting to be engaged with that,

533
00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:24,359
Speaker 1: that's worthwhile from any elected official. Do I think there

534
00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:26,679
Speaker 1: was purpose to it? Absolutely? Do I think people are

535
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:29,520
Speaker 1: going to read into it into the code? Sure me? No,

536
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:33,480
Speaker 1: I have no issue with that message whatsoever. Keep it here.

537
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:36,119
Speaker 1: This is Tony Katz today. So we've been following the

538
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:40,160
Speaker 1: cabinet meeting that happened today. Tony Katz. Tony Katz today

539
00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:44,840
Speaker 1: an absolute pleasure, and the President shared his thoughts. Is

540
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:48,080
Speaker 1: very often a stream of consciousness kind of thoughts. And

541
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:50,160
Speaker 1: then it went to the Vice President, Jade Vance and

542
00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:55,880
Speaker 1: very specific about how we've degraded Iranian leadership, destroyed their leadership,

543
00:28:55,880 --> 00:29:00,280
Speaker 1: degraded their navy, gave a message of happy Easter. And

544
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:02,480
Speaker 1: when I say coded, by the way, people are going

545
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:04,360
Speaker 1: to look at that. Oh it's a coded message. This

546
00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:06,959
Speaker 1: was an anti Israel message. It was a pro Israel messager.

547
00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:10,480
Speaker 1: I think he wished the troops are very happy Easter

548
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:12,920
Speaker 1: and reminded people that for a lot of people in

549
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:15,640
Speaker 1: the United States around the globe, Easter is everything. It's

550
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:19,000
Speaker 1: the foundation of their religious beliefs and zero issue with it.

551
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:21,800
Speaker 1: I'm gonna let other people read into whatever it is

552
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:25,760
Speaker 1: they want, you know, it just it doesn't It doesn't

553
00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:29,240
Speaker 1: move me at all to think that I should dig

554
00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:32,000
Speaker 1: into what is this political meaning here? Can't something just

555
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:34,640
Speaker 1: sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. Can't it just

556
00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:38,200
Speaker 1: be a happy Easter message? That's what I choose. And

557
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:41,560
Speaker 1: you heard President Trump say I'm very disappointed with NATO,

558
00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:44,160
Speaker 1: And then all of a sudden, here's the chief of NATO,

559
00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:45,040
Speaker 1: Mark Root.

560
00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:48,240
Speaker 2: Are you tte talking Trump up?

561
00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:51,880
Speaker 6: We have seen with North Korea. If we negotiate for

562
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:55,360
Speaker 6: too long, you might pass the moment wh you can

563
00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:58,280
Speaker 6: still get you thing done. And North Korea now has

564
00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:01,040
Speaker 6: to nuclear keep a bit. If you around would have the

565
00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:05,560
Speaker 6: nuclear capability, including together with the missional capability, it will

566
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:08,960
Speaker 6: be a diary threat, an existential threat to Israel, to

567
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:12,720
Speaker 6: the region, to Europe, to the stability in the world.

568
00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:15,920
Speaker 6: So the president doing this is crucial, and I've seen

569
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:18,440
Speaker 6: the palling, but I really hope the American people will

570
00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:20,520
Speaker 6: be with him because he is doing this to make

571
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:21,720
Speaker 6: the whole world safer.

572
00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:24,640
Speaker 2: And that's the way it has to be focused. It's

573
00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:26,920
Speaker 2: not that I don't want Israel to be safe. I do.

574
00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:30,600
Speaker 2: I need to be safe. America needs to be safe.

575
00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:33,200
Speaker 1: I only move from is it in America's interest and

576
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:35,600
Speaker 1: the answers of course, it's in America's interest.

577
00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:36,920
Speaker 2: To take out the Iranian regime.

578
00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:40,200
Speaker 1: I find it weird that there are people who say, no, oh,

579
00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:43,800
Speaker 1: it's not an imminent threat. I categorize those people as children.

580
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:48,080
Speaker 1: They shouldn't be allowed to operate heavy machinery. They should

581
00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:51,760
Speaker 1: get a snack and then nap time because they clearly

582
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:55,000
Speaker 1: need it. They're not yet adult enough to handle what

583
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:58,200
Speaker 1: it is is going on out there, this terrorist threat

584
00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:01,600
Speaker 1: that is a threat to every America to how Americans

585
00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:06,440
Speaker 1: move around the globe. It's removal, the removal of the regime,

586
00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:11,480
Speaker 1: never mind what we're talking about about, eliminating any nuclear possibility.

587
00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:16,200
Speaker 1: All good, massive wins for all of us. And that's

588
00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:18,560
Speaker 1: the way it's to be phrased. That it's good for Israel.

589
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:24,280
Speaker 1: Well great, their beneficiaries, are we the beneficiaries. That's step one.

590
00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:28,160
Speaker 1: That is step one. Meanwhile, the President moves things over

591
00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:31,000
Speaker 1: to the Secretary of State Marco Rubie.

592
00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:33,840
Speaker 7: The most important job any president has is to keep

593
00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:36,520
Speaker 7: the American people safe. And every president says it, but

594
00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:38,480
Speaker 7: we have a president that means it and does something

595
00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:39,280
Speaker 7: about it.

596
00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:40,360
Speaker 4: As the President.

597
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:42,320
Speaker 7: Outlined very clearly to the world on the night this

598
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:45,520
Speaker 7: operation began. Iran has been at war with the United

599
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:49,040
Speaker 7: States for forty seven years. For forty seven years, Iran

600
00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:52,160
Speaker 7: has been killing Americans and attacking Americans across this planet.

601
00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:54,400
Speaker 7: And now the presidents had an opportunity to do something

602
00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:57,000
Speaker 7: about it, and they all warned about how Iran was dangerous,

603
00:31:57,040 --> 00:31:59,200
Speaker 7: but they refuse to act. And this President's not someone

604
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:01,240
Speaker 7: that's going to refuse to act. He's not going to

605
00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:03,680
Speaker 7: leave a danger like this in place. He's going to

606
00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:05,880
Speaker 7: address it, and that is what he is doing. From

607
00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:08,240
Speaker 7: the very first night of this operation, the President made

608
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:10,840
Speaker 7: it very clear people like this and now what I'm

609
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:13,160
Speaker 7: talking about is not the people of Iran. The people

610
00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:15,960
Speaker 7: that run this country are radical Shiah clerics. These are

611
00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:19,120
Speaker 7: religious fanatics. Look what they are doing now at their

612
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:21,680
Speaker 7: weakest point. This is the weakest Iran has ever been.

613
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:25,880
Speaker 7: And look at what they're doing. They're attacking embassies. They're embassies,

614
00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:29,360
Speaker 7: they're attacking hotels. They imagine what these people would do

615
00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:30,520
Speaker 7: if they had a nuclear weapon.

616
00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:33,120
Speaker 4: That is an unacceptable risk for the world.

617
00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:35,080
Speaker 7: By the way, the President's not just doing a favor

618
00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:36,719
Speaker 7: to the United States and to our people.

619
00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:38,360
Speaker 4: This is for the world.

620
00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:40,640
Speaker 7: He defined very clearly on the first night of this

621
00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:43,520
Speaker 7: operation what the goal was. We were going to destroy

622
00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:46,360
Speaker 7: Iran's navy, and that is happening. We were going to

623
00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:48,480
Speaker 7: If it hasn't already happened, I'll let PEP speak to

624
00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:51,080
Speaker 7: the specifics of it. We were going to destroy their

625
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:53,080
Speaker 7: missile launching capabilities.

626
00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:55,360
Speaker 4: We're well on our way to achieving that goal. We

627
00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:55,840
Speaker 4: were going to.

628
00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:58,080
Speaker 7: Destroy the factory so they couldn't make more missiles and

629
00:32:58,120 --> 00:32:58,720
Speaker 7: more drums.

630
00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:00,000
Speaker 4: And that is moving forward.

631
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:03,520
Speaker 7: Every single objective the President clearly laid out on the

632
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:06,080
Speaker 7: first night of this operation is being effectuated.

633
00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:08,040
Speaker 4: Again, Petle, speak to the specifics of it.

634
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:08,840
Speaker 2: This has been an.

635
00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:12,400
Speaker 7: Incredibly successful operation. Every day it may not get covered

636
00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:15,800
Speaker 7: because you know, we're unlike them. We're not bombing embassies

637
00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:19,840
Speaker 7: and hotels, we're hitting military targets. But every day the

638
00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:22,840
Speaker 7: Department of War lets the drummer get wicked over every

639
00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:26,080
Speaker 7: portion of Iran that has these military capabilities, and.

640
00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:27,960
Speaker 4: The results are going to bear fruit for the world.

641
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:29,600
Speaker 7: The world is going to be a safer and a

642
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:33,520
Speaker 7: better place when President Trump's mission here is achieved. And frankly,

643
00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:35,440
Speaker 7: I think countries around the world, even those that are

644
00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:37,640
Speaker 7: out there complaining about this a little bit, should actually

645
00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:40,280
Speaker 7: be grateful that the United States as a president that's

646
00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:43,240
Speaker 7: willing to confront a threat like this and not allow.

647
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:44,280
Speaker 4: It to continue to persist.

648
00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:47,360
Speaker 7: Because these people will kill as many Americans as they

649
00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:48,840
Speaker 7: have a chance to do, and if they have a

650
00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:51,400
Speaker 7: nuclear weapon, as the Vice President pointed out, they could

651
00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:54,000
Speaker 7: kill millions of Americans in the future, and that is

652
00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:56,240
Speaker 7: a risk that was not going to continue to exist

653
00:33:56,480 --> 00:33:57,840
Speaker 7: as long as we had this president.

654
00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:02,000
Speaker 1: Now, I did start by saying, I don't like the

655
00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:05,240
Speaker 1: overlaudatory stuff, the brown nosing stuff of the president.

656
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:07,800
Speaker 2: But did Marco Rubio just listen to us?

657
00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:13,919
Speaker 1: That's how you present it. It is because when he's

658
00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:17,239
Speaker 1: talking about the president, you can clearly make the line

659
00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:20,000
Speaker 1: that he's talking about you and me and everyone who

660
00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:22,920
Speaker 1: voted for him. We made the change. We wanted somebody

661
00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:24,719
Speaker 1: who would lead. We wanted someone who would take on

662
00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:26,680
Speaker 1: the threat. We wanted someone who would be decisive. We

663
00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:29,239
Speaker 1: wanted someone who would engage in overwhelming force because this

664
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:32,400
Speaker 1: is about America. This is for America, for America's safety,

665
00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:34,759
Speaker 1: for America's security, and we're doing the job.

666
00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:36,240
Speaker 2: We're hitting the targets where.

667
00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:44,520
Speaker 1: The guy is nearly unrivaled in his capability to explain.

668
00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:48,760
Speaker 1: And I will admit I think that Trump has come

669
00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:54,399
Speaker 1: to the realization that Marco is so good at this

670
00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:58,760
Speaker 1: that even if he feels that Marco might sometimes steal

671
00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:03,239
Speaker 1: his thunder in the presentation, it's worth it.

672
00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:04,360
Speaker 2: It's better.

673
00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:09,640
Speaker 1: Than creating a rift or creating any tension. Will he

674
00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:11,480
Speaker 1: keep up with that, I don't know, because I really

675
00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:13,440
Speaker 1: do think he thought Jade Vance was the future.

676
00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:16,160
Speaker 2: We are so far away from twenty twenty eight is

677
00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:16,800
Speaker 2: to be believed.

678
00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:19,839
Speaker 1: But Marco has been a win for him, a win

679
00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:23,040
Speaker 1: in the press, a win with voters, all the way around,

680
00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:28,400
Speaker 1: a win, and he did that very well. That's how

681
00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:32,040
Speaker 1: you address it. What is it that we need to do,

682
00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:34,480
Speaker 1: why is it that it needs to be done, and

683
00:35:34,520 --> 00:35:39,440
Speaker 1: how does it benefit us the American people. That's the message.

684
00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:41,760
Speaker 1: I can't believe we actually have to explain this to people.

685
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:43,480
Speaker 2: It blows my mind.

686
00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:45,960
Speaker 1: Look at us, we have to explain to people why

687
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:48,239
Speaker 1: you have to discuss how it helps Americans first and

688
00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:55,080
Speaker 1: foremost crazy town crazy. Remember, Democrats aren't interested in helping

689
00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:56,040
Speaker 1: Americans at all.
