A lot of 61 00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,560 Speaker 2: people are gonna have a lot of takes. Here's mine. 62 00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:51,680 Speaker 1: I don't care if they're sad, be sad. 63 00:04:55,520 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 2: I don't care if you're sad, don't I'm not gonna 64 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,719 Speaker 2: go out of my way to make you sadder. But 65 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:06,520 Speaker 2: I don't care if you become sadder. I don't care 66 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:09,599 Speaker 2: if what you want and what you desire and what 67 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:13,679 Speaker 2: you fantasize about is all ripped away. 68 00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:16,360 Speaker 1: It's okay. 69 00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:26,160 Speaker 2: I mean, it sucks to be you, but okay, no problem. 70 00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:30,160 Speaker 2: But in case you're wondering where the good people are 71 00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:33,000 Speaker 2: and where the good people are not if you're supportive 72 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:34,839 Speaker 2: of the Ayatola, you're. 73 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:36,320 Speaker 1: Not the good people. I don't care who you. 74 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:43,599 Speaker 2: Are, the left, the woke right, the residents of Dearborn 75 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:50,840 Speaker 2: don't care. But if you ever wanted to ask, hey, 76 00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:56,400 Speaker 2: is there any truth to the idea that cities or 77 00:05:56,480 --> 00:06:00,080 Speaker 2: towns that have high Muslim populations hate the country and 78 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:06,159 Speaker 2: support its demise? He said it as the progressive Senate 79 00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:08,240 Speaker 2: candidate in Michigan. 80 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:09,880 Speaker 1: Ask him. 81 00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:13,440 Speaker 2: He's the one who said people are sad, So ask 82 00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:17,599 Speaker 2: him do they favor America or do they favor something else? 83 00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:25,640 Speaker 2: It's a legit, valuable, worthwhile question and one that in 84 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:30,080 Speaker 2: every way should be asked. Now, the other subject people 85 00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:33,760 Speaker 2: are talking about with a lot of fervor is what's 86 00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:36,680 Speaker 2: going on with the Department of Homeland Security. So we've 87 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:38,760 Speaker 2: got the White House briefing that schedule today and I 88 00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:40,960 Speaker 2: assume this is going to be a front and center subject. 89 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:42,840 Speaker 2: The idea of what's going on in Iran? And will 90 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:43,640 Speaker 2: the president. 91 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:45,359 Speaker 1: Send ground troops? 92 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:51,159 Speaker 2: Well he's sending them, but will we actually see them? 93 00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:54,560 Speaker 2: What is the story with funding the TSA because the 94 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:57,599 Speaker 2: President signed an executive order telling the Department of Homeland 95 00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:01,080 Speaker 2: Security to pay the TSA. I don't even know how 96 00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:04,279 Speaker 2: you do this. I don't know how this gets done. 97 00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:08,200 Speaker 2: I'm saying, I don't know the system. Where does the 98 00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:12,000 Speaker 2: DHS that isn't funded get the money to pay TSA? 99 00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:14,920 Speaker 1: Where does that come from? 100 00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:19,160 Speaker 2: You know, Elon Musk offered to pay them, He's like, 101 00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:21,880 Speaker 2: I'll pay them. Where do I write the check? We 102 00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:25,440 Speaker 2: have no mechanism for that. So he by law, I 103 00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:30,480 Speaker 2: believe he is not allowed to do such a thing. 104 00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:33,080 Speaker 2: I mean, he could as an individual write people checks, 105 00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:36,240 Speaker 2: but he can't replace paychecks in that way. He can't 106 00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:38,480 Speaker 2: give money to the government and the government do the thing. 107 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:45,440 Speaker 2: So if the TSA is going to be a huge 108 00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:48,120 Speaker 2: part of this is gonna be a big part of 109 00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:51,640 Speaker 2: what we hear from Caroline leve Att, the White House 110 00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:57,560 Speaker 2: Press Secretary. Trump signs the order America's air travel system 111 00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:00,360 Speaker 2: has reached its breaking point. I have to determine that 112 00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:05,240 Speaker 2: these circumstances constant an emergency situation compromising the nation's security. 113 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 2: The Administration would use quote funds that have a reasonable 114 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:13,200 Speaker 2: and logical nexus to TSA operations for the payments. So 115 00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:16,240 Speaker 2: now you can declare emergency and divert funds from one 116 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:20,960 Speaker 2: place to another. Okay, not being an expert on emergency rules, 117 00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:24,920 Speaker 2: it's possible. You know that there are Democrats who are 118 00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:32,840 Speaker 2: vehemently opposed to this, right, they're angry about it. How 119 00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:39,880 Speaker 2: dare you? How dare you pay these people? How dare 120 00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:43,160 Speaker 2: you go out there and want to take care of them? 121 00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:47,840 Speaker 2: Don't you know that you're not allowed to do such 122 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:58,079 Speaker 2: a thing. We need them to suffer. And they go 123 00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:01,760 Speaker 2: out there and they go on shows like Face the 124 00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:08,160 Speaker 2: Nation and they say, President Trump, he's paying these people illegally. 125 00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:10,760 Speaker 1: Listen, can't make this up. 126 00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:15,680 Speaker 5: Practically speaking, ICE is already funded. In fact, it's one 127 00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:18,360 Speaker 5: of the few DHS entities where people are getting paid 128 00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:21,920 Speaker 5: because they had so much funding from the President's last bill. 129 00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:23,199 Speaker 4: And now they're. 130 00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:26,640 Speaker 5: Portfolio is expanding because they're in American airports across the country. 131 00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:30,320 Speaker 5: So what did Democrats get out of this standoff? 132 00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:37,080 Speaker 6: Yeah, well, Margaret, the standoff is not done yet. Right 133 00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:41,079 Speaker 6: the president is illegally paying apparently TSA agents. 134 00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:46,280 Speaker 1: What do you mean the standoff is not done yet? 135 00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:48,560 Speaker 2: And maybe we should give our props to Margaret Brennan 136 00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:53,440 Speaker 2: over there at CBS for recognizing, what in the world 137 00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:56,960 Speaker 2: did you get out of this? What did you win 138 00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:05,200 Speaker 2: from all of this madness? And the answer is you 139 00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:11,800 Speaker 2: didn't win anything. You did not win a thing. And 140 00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:16,160 Speaker 2: she was not the only person asking this question. This 141 00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:21,440 Speaker 2: was Jonathan Carl to the bigoted Senator Chris van Holland 142 00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:22,080 Speaker 2: of Maryland. 143 00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:23,840 Speaker 1: Is he going to now use it? 144 00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:27,719 Speaker 3: So when the Senate passed that bill, and there was 145 00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:30,360 Speaker 3: that brief moment that looked like, you know, dawn had broken, 146 00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:34,320 Speaker 3: you put out a statement saying that Republicans had quote 147 00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:35,720 Speaker 3: finally relented. 148 00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:39,480 Speaker 1: What did Democrats get out of this? Even if that passed? 149 00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:40,600 Speaker 1: What did you get out of this? 150 00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:44,160 Speaker 3: DHS shutdowns going on for well over a month, what 151 00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:44,840 Speaker 3: have you gotten for? 152 00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:48,480 Speaker 6: Well, the issue here, John is we let people know. 153 00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:53,120 Speaker 6: Number one, we want to fully fund TSA. We could 154 00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:55,920 Speaker 6: get rid of these lines at the airports immediately. But 155 00:10:56,000 --> 00:11:00,120 Speaker 6: we also made clear that we're going to demand reforms 156 00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:06,440 Speaker 6: of a lawless ice operation. After all, DSH agents killed 157 00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:11,040 Speaker 6: two American citizens in Minneapolis, and the President's team called 158 00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:13,360 Speaker 6: the victims domestic terrorists. 159 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:15,560 Speaker 1: So, for example, we've. 160 00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:20,960 Speaker 6: Said you can't expect DHS to conduct a credible, independent investigation. 161 00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:26,720 Speaker 6: They're denying information to the local law enforcement authorities Minneapolis 162 00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:30,160 Speaker 6: and Minnesota. They've blocked access those state. 163 00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:30,880 Speaker 1: Has had to sue. 164 00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:34,160 Speaker 6: So we say, you need to be able to hold 165 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:36,319 Speaker 6: people accountable for wrongdoing, and. 166 00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:39,160 Speaker 2: They you're not trying to hold anybody accountable. Center Van 167 00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:43,880 Speaker 2: Holland the down you're Margarita. He's the guy who had 168 00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:48,040 Speaker 2: margaritas with Abrego Garcia, the illegal immigrant who is beating 169 00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:51,120 Speaker 2: his wife and trafficking people. But he's a Maryland man. 170 00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:02,199 Speaker 2: The murder of Alex p and Renee Good. I'm sorry, 171 00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:03,880 Speaker 2: the deaths of Alex Pretty. 172 00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:06,280 Speaker 1: And Renee Good. You called them murders? 173 00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:11,160 Speaker 2: Are things being investigated right now? What did they do 174 00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:14,880 Speaker 2: that led to their own desk? Can an investigation happen? 175 00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:19,120 Speaker 2: You don't even care because all of this is not 176 00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:23,199 Speaker 2: about Alex Pretty or Renee Good. This is not about 177 00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:27,240 Speaker 2: having a better TSA. Your party wants to remove the TSA. 178 00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:31,880 Speaker 2: I'm sorry the ICE. All this about ICE. So the 179 00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:35,000 Speaker 2: NOD funding of TSA you don't care about. It does 180 00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:38,040 Speaker 2: not matter. The NOD funding of DHS you don't care about. 181 00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:41,360 Speaker 2: All of this is about the removal of ice, every 182 00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:44,400 Speaker 2: last bit of it. We see you, and we understand 183 00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:47,800 Speaker 2: what your objective is. Your objective is votes. How can 184 00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:50,000 Speaker 2: you have votes if you have people being removed from 185 00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:54,440 Speaker 2: the country, Plain and simple, That's what's happened here. I 186 00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:58,240 Speaker 2: think it is. It is something else. When you realize 187 00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:01,880 Speaker 2: that other Americans see what you see, it's it's almost 188 00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:06,000 Speaker 2: a uplifting feeling that you're not alone in this thing. 189 00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:10,360 Speaker 1: But there's something greater here, and I will get more 190 00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:10,880 Speaker 1: into it. 191 00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:14,280 Speaker 2: Which was when the Senate said, all right, we'll agree 192 00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:17,839 Speaker 2: to some level of funding and we won't fund ice 193 00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:20,559 Speaker 2: or border patrol, but will fund the rest, and the 194 00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:24,680 Speaker 2: setate passes and send it to the House, and the 195 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:27,959 Speaker 2: House and you had a speaker Johnson said, what the 196 00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:31,559 Speaker 2: bloody heck is this? I'm not passing this, not even 197 00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:35,280 Speaker 2: bringing us up for a vote. There's no funding mechanism here. 198 00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:38,480 Speaker 2: It literally says that no money can go where it's 199 00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:43,440 Speaker 2: supposed to go. Forget this sixty day continuing resolution. Fund everything, 200 00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:48,160 Speaker 2: fund everything, and then let's work this through. 201 00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:51,520 Speaker 1: That's what will pass now. 202 00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:56,040 Speaker 2: I think there's an actual fight going on between Johnson 203 00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:59,240 Speaker 2: and Fune. Senator John Thune, the Senate Majority Leader, right, 204 00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:05,480 Speaker 2: we can debate that. But I when you hear what 205 00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:08,760 Speaker 2: it is that people like Van Holland are saying. When 206 00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:11,320 Speaker 2: you hear people say that TSA shouldn't get paid no 207 00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:13,920 Speaker 2: matter what, we want them. 208 00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:16,960 Speaker 1: Not to get paid because we want the pain. 209 00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:20,160 Speaker 2: So we can get rid of ice, so we can 210 00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:23,640 Speaker 2: have people staying in the country, voting in the country, 211 00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:28,440 Speaker 2: so we can get power. I think that message is 212 00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:31,480 Speaker 2: starting to come across, and it's my argument that people 213 00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:34,320 Speaker 2: like Speaker Johnson believe that some part of that message 214 00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:36,520 Speaker 2: is getting across. They take a look at all this 215 00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:39,240 Speaker 2: ice hate in sanity and say, that's not the way 216 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:40,200 Speaker 2: America feels. 217 00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:45,440 Speaker 1: We can win this battle. We can break them now. 218 00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:49,280 Speaker 2: As long as you're paying TSA agents, you can do 219 00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:52,400 Speaker 2: this as long as you wish. But when you're not 220 00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:55,440 Speaker 2: paying the TSA agent, because it is so forward facing 221 00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:58,800 Speaker 2: how Americans live their lives, it is a very difficult 222 00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:01,920 Speaker 2: thing to keep moving on. So get some paychecks out 223 00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:06,520 Speaker 2: and you can do anything. What the left is relying 224 00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:08,520 Speaker 2: on is that the pain is too great. And what 225 00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:11,000 Speaker 2: it seems to be that Speaker Johnson is saying is 226 00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:13,760 Speaker 2: we can figure out the one piece of pain. 227 00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:15,520 Speaker 1: We can now put the pain on them. 228 00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:17,600 Speaker 2: As long as we can get the TSA agents paid, 229 00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:19,160 Speaker 2: we can push this back as hard. 230 00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:22,240 Speaker 1: As we wish. 231 00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:24,760 Speaker 2: And the argument being made by Van Holland and others 232 00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:29,320 Speaker 2: Cener van Holland, the Democrat from Maryland, is nothing more 233 00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:31,040 Speaker 2: than a nonsense. 234 00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:33,920 Speaker 1: For what we want is for ice to be gone 235 00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:35,480 Speaker 1: so we can get more votes. 236 00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:39,240 Speaker 2: We want the people in the country illegally to vote. 237 00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:41,480 Speaker 2: We want to be able to count them in a census. 238 00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:45,560 Speaker 2: We need this, which brings us to. 239 00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:48,040 Speaker 1: Well, then why in the world did the Senate pass 240 00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:49,840 Speaker 1: this thing? If it's such a mess. 241 00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,600 Speaker 2: If they did they know that Speaker Johnson was going 242 00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:54,160 Speaker 2: to look at them and say, are you insane? 243 00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:57,400 Speaker 1: Did they pass it just so they could go on 244 00:15:57,520 --> 00:15:59,440 Speaker 1: vacation for Eastern. 245 00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:05,360 Speaker 2: All I know is they may be coming back. They 246 00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:07,960 Speaker 2: may be brought back to it. They may be brought 247 00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:12,760 Speaker 2: back to engage some votes. So maybe they gave themselves 248 00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:13,520 Speaker 2: a couple of days. 249 00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:14,240 Speaker 1: That's it. 250 00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:19,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, there is a fight between the Republicans here in 251 00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:24,720 Speaker 2: the House and the Senate, And honestly, good about damn 252 00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:28,680 Speaker 2: time there's something actually worth fighting over. Tony Katz. Tony 253 00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:31,480 Speaker 2: Katz today the White House Press Secretary. Her name is 254 00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:35,560 Speaker 2: Caroline Levitt. She's wearing a lovely floral print of pink. 255 00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:40,200 Speaker 2: Today she is speaking. The press briefing has begun. Tony Katz, 256 00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:43,000 Speaker 2: Tony Katz today, good to be with you. Let's take 257 00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:51,040 Speaker 2: it to the White House Press Secretary. Of course, of 258 00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:56,920 Speaker 2: course the audio is messed up. That's why we have 259 00:16:56,960 --> 00:17:01,600 Speaker 2: producer landing with all the links y right there. You 260 00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:05,359 Speaker 2: always gotta have a backup people, It is imperative to 261 00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:10,480 Speaker 2: have a backup. As Caroline Levitt is speaking, let's bring 262 00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:21,000 Speaker 2: it to her. There we go, nicely done. Wow, we're 263 00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:28,320 Speaker 2: over two. What in the world. 264 00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:33,840 Speaker 1: Do they know they're having this problem? It's terrible, terrible. 265 00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:37,399 Speaker 2: Maybe this is why Bill O'Reilly never wanted to do 266 00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:42,840 Speaker 2: it live. Let me see if I can bring it 267 00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:46,640 Speaker 2: back here and make this part work. See, that's very low. 268 00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:50,920 Speaker 7: Sitting ninety two percent of their largest vessels, the Iranian 269 00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:54,600 Speaker 7: Navy has no vessels operating in major regional water rays 270 00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:57,920 Speaker 7: and no ability to project naval power, which is why 271 00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:02,840 Speaker 7: they've been assessed as combat ineffective. Our military continues to 272 00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:08,040 Speaker 7: obliterate Iran's defense industrial base with nearly seventy percent of 273 00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:12,160 Speaker 7: their missile, drone, and naval production facilities in shipyards damage 274 00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:16,960 Speaker 7: or destroyed, thus far significantly reducing their ability to pose 275 00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:21,280 Speaker 7: future threats in the region. US and Israeli joint forces 276 00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:24,760 Speaker 7: control the skies and have asserted air dominance over Iran, 277 00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:29,880 Speaker 7: completing more than eleven thousand successful combat flights thus far. 278 00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:31,920 Speaker 4: The trend remains clear. 279 00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:36,080 Speaker 7: The United States is conducting more intense targeted strikes with 280 00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:39,879 Speaker 7: devastating combat power with each passing day to destroy the 281 00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:43,840 Speaker 7: threat posed by the Iranian terrorist regime, as President Trump 282 00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:47,160 Speaker 7: sought out to do a month ago. It's no surprise 283 00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:49,520 Speaker 7: that we are seeing the remaining elements of the regime 284 00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:53,119 Speaker 7: become increasingly eager to end the destruction and come to 285 00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:56,800 Speaker 7: the negotiating table while they still can just show. 286 00:18:56,600 --> 00:19:01,000 Speaker 2: Me where that is now Listen, I'm not there, but 287 00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:04,679 Speaker 2: you keep talking about increasingly eager. Where is the eager 288 00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:09,399 Speaker 2: Now we hear President Trump say, you know what, this 289 00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:11,520 Speaker 2: new regime. I don't know if I could trust them, 290 00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:14,560 Speaker 2: but they certainly are are talking better and seem more willing, 291 00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:17,040 Speaker 2: which brings us to the idea of you know, I 292 00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:21,600 Speaker 2: support regime change, but there's such thing as behavior change. 293 00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:24,240 Speaker 1: And that might be enough for Trump. The fact that 294 00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:26,560 Speaker 1: I'm going to lose out on what I want. We're 295 00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:29,800 Speaker 1: just talking about real life here, so we don't know 296 00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:31,159 Speaker 1: yet yet what this means. 297 00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:37,760 Speaker 2: But I'm going to continue with the presser, the Q 298 00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:41,200 Speaker 2: and A from those in attendances at the White House breeping. 299 00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:42,880 Speaker 2: We will have it all for you. Keep it here. 300 00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:47,920 Speaker 1: I'm Tony Katz. This is Tony kats today. 301 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:49,760 Speaker 2: The White House Press Secretary of her name is Caroline Levitt. 302 00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:54,520 Speaker 2: She is going on a tear regarding the DHS shutdown, 303 00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:58,280 Speaker 2: and it seems very clear from this that the White 304 00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:02,119 Speaker 2: House is on board with Speaker my Johnson. Democrats have 305 00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:05,119 Speaker 2: done this. Democrats have done that. It is the Democrats 306 00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:07,639 Speaker 2: are responsible here. They don't want to get people funded, 307 00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:10,679 Speaker 2: they don't want to get people paid. This is not 308 00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:13,439 Speaker 2: a conversation of we need to bring everybody to the table. 309 00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:17,439 Speaker 2: This is this is the Democrats fault, which for the record, 310 00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:18,760 Speaker 2: it is. 311 00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:22,399 Speaker 7: Democrats refuse to fund ICE because they want millions and 312 00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:25,280 Speaker 7: millions of illegal aliens to pour into the country just 313 00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:29,040 Speaker 7: like they were under the Biden administration. They want murderers 314 00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:32,080 Speaker 7: and rapists and thugs to remain in your communities rather 315 00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:35,520 Speaker 7: than be removed by ice and border patrol agents. 316 00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:36,280 Speaker 1: No. 317 00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:38,760 Speaker 2: And see the way to say that, Caroline Levett is 318 00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:43,880 Speaker 2: they want votes from illegal immigrants. They want the census 319 00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:48,280 Speaker 2: to benefit them, and they don't care if rapists and 320 00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:51,520 Speaker 2: murderers and drug dealers are in your communities harming your 321 00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:57,080 Speaker 2: children are killing them. See that that's the manuver. Just 322 00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:01,600 Speaker 2: make that maneuver, Caroline. From that to that, you will 323 00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:05,800 Speaker 2: win that argument. It takes away their ability to say, 324 00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:10,520 Speaker 2: how dare you know? It's exactly what happened against the repercussions. 325 00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:13,119 Speaker 4: The Democrats created this mess. 326 00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:15,560 Speaker 7: They are the reason for long lines at airports and 327 00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:18,359 Speaker 7: tens of thousands of employees going without pay. 328 00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:20,200 Speaker 4: Once again, President. 329 00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:22,320 Speaker 7: Trump is cleaning up their mess because he cares more 330 00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:26,879 Speaker 7: about the American people than destructive, petty partisan politics. But 331 00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:28,879 Speaker 7: that I will take your questions today here in our 332 00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:29,720 Speaker 7: new media seat, we. 333 00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:31,640 Speaker 4: Have wid lineman.

I can assure the American 344 00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:10,080 Speaker 7: people there has not been a change in policy. It 345 00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:12,560 Speaker 7: has always been the policy of this President in this 346 00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:16,439 Speaker 7: administration to deport the worst of the worst illegal alien 347 00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:19,560 Speaker 7: criminals from our communities. That's something I know Secretary Mullen 348 00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:21,359 Speaker 7: remains wholeheartedly. 349 00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:21,639 Speaker 4: Committed to doing. 350 00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:25,159 Speaker 7: And it's something that is overwhelmingly popular with the American people, 351 00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:28,200 Speaker 7: and it's something that is necessary to protect our homeland 352 00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:31,800 Speaker 7: and to prevent deaths of Americans in our country. Just 353 00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:35,399 Speaker 7: last week, Sheridan Gorman, a young woman in Chicago, was 354 00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:38,119 Speaker 7: shot and killed on the street walking with her friends 355 00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:41,880 Speaker 7: outside of her university by a legal alien from Venezuela 356 00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:44,439 Speaker 7: who had no right to be here in the first place. 357 00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:48,560 Speaker 7: And it's despicable that Democrats are currently defunding the department 358 00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:51,879 Speaker 7: that's responsible for removing illegal aliens like that. And I 359 00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:55,720 Speaker 7: would also add its despicable the lack of coverage of 360 00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:58,280 Speaker 7: this young woman's case of her life and the way 361 00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:01,560 Speaker 7: that it was tragically cut short. I saw a survey 362 00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:03,240 Speaker 7: over the weekend that I'd like to bring to all 363 00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:05,959 Speaker 7: of your attention. This is the media coverage of the 364 00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:09,119 Speaker 7: case of Sheridan Gorman. You have ABC News has spent 365 00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:14,120 Speaker 7: one minute in nineteen seconds between two days when this 366 00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:17,879 Speaker 7: case was first alerted. You have CBS two minutes in 367 00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:21,840 Speaker 7: one second. You have NBC twenty three seconds spent on 368 00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:25,440 Speaker 7: the life of a young, beautiful American woman whose life 369 00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:26,760 Speaker 7: was taken short. 370 00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:28,560 Speaker 4: By an illegal alien who should have never been here 371 00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:29,160 Speaker 4: in the first place. 372 00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:31,399 Speaker 7: When we are in the middle of a battle on 373 00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:34,439 Speaker 7: Capitol Hill with a major political party, the Democrat Party, 374 00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:37,240 Speaker 7: who wants to defund the agency that is responsible for 375 00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:40,359 Speaker 7: protecting Americans. I think her life was worth more than 376 00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:42,639 Speaker 7: twenty three seconds on cable television. And I think the 377 00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:45,560 Speaker 7: people in this room have a responsibility to report on 378 00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:49,119 Speaker 7: cases like this because it just exemplifies why the President 379 00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:52,080 Speaker 7: believes so strongly in deporting illegal aliens from our communities. 380 00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:57,200 Speaker 2: That is a winner. I mean, it's horrifying that that 381 00:23:57,359 --> 00:24:00,560 Speaker 2: has to be the winner, but that's the winner. You 382 00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:04,160 Speaker 2: don't care about these lives, you're your liars. You care 383 00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:08,040 Speaker 2: about moving the ideology, and the ideology is allow people 384 00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:11,040 Speaker 2: in the country illegally to stay, and you're doing it 385 00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:14,159 Speaker 2: for power, and the power comes from the vote. So 386 00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:16,840 Speaker 2: when I say they're keeping people in the country or 387 00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:19,399 Speaker 2: want ice gone so they don't remove people from the 388 00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:21,360 Speaker 2: country so they can get more votes and do better 389 00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:26,679 Speaker 2: in a census, the facts just lay themselves out, beautifully. 390 00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:27,520 Speaker 1: Done by Caroline Levitt. 391 00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:29,560 Speaker 2: Right there she had she was holding up the graphic, 392 00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:33,080 Speaker 2: the sheet of paper that shows the three networks. 393 00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:34,800 Speaker 1: Well done, Thank you for the question. 394 00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:37,480 Speaker 4: So good, Josha, go ahead, cart. 395 00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:40,639 Speaker 7: Out two questions, one on Iran and one on DHS funding. 396 00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:43,480 Speaker 7: On Iran, the president has said that the administration is 397 00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:46,720 Speaker 7: talking to a new or a more reasonable regime. 398 00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:52,680 Speaker 2: How can you They changed the camera angle and it 399 00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:56,280 Speaker 2: changes the audio that Dasha Burns is asking the question. 400 00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:58,640 Speaker 1: She's asking, how how can. 401 00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:00,719 Speaker 2: You be sure that the party you're speaking to in 402 00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:03,920 Speaker 2: Iran is legitimate, has legitimate power? 403 00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:06,280 Speaker 1: Mark you. Rubio says he's not so sure. Are you 404 00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:07,399 Speaker 1: talking to other groups. 405 00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:10,080 Speaker 7: As well that's taking place and the ongoing negotiations. Of course, 406 00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:13,040 Speaker 7: anything that they say to us privately will be tested, 407 00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:16,080 Speaker 7: and we will ensure that they are being held accountable 408 00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:17,879 Speaker 7: to their word, and if they are not, the President 409 00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:21,399 Speaker 7: has laid out the military consequences that the Iranian regime 410 00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:23,919 Speaker 7: will see if they don't hold true to the words 411 00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:26,320 Speaker 7: that we are hearing privately behind the scenes when the 412 00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:29,800 Speaker 7: President says more reasonable. Again, these folks are appearing more 413 00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:33,480 Speaker 7: reasonable behind the scenes privately in these conversations than perhaps 414 00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:35,879 Speaker 7: some of the previous leaders who are now no longer 415 00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:38,959 Speaker 7: on planet Earth because they lied to the United States 416 00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:42,520 Speaker 7: and they strung us along in negotiations and that was 417 00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:45,240 Speaker 7: unacceptable to the President, which is why many of the 418 00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:48,480 Speaker 7: previous leaders were killed. So again, this is another historic 419 00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:51,640 Speaker 7: opportunity for Iran to do the right thing, to rid 420 00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:55,040 Speaker 7: themselves of their nuclear ambitions and to come to a 421 00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:58,280 Speaker 7: deal with this president in the administration, or again they 422 00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:01,399 Speaker 7: will see the grave consequence of the United States Armed Forces, 423 00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:03,639 Speaker 7: which they are continuing to see every day throughout this 424 00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:05,000 Speaker 7: operation on the agents. 425 00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:10,360 Speaker 2: So now they're going back to the question the US 426 00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:13,879 Speaker 2: they're continuing today through the operations and the question is 427 00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:17,520 Speaker 2: how long can the administration keep paying Tessa without action 428 00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:18,280 Speaker 2: from Congress? 429 00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:19,720 Speaker 7: Right? 430 00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:21,680 Speaker 2: Can you do this for forever? Can you can you 431 00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:24,040 Speaker 2: keep this up for months? Where does the money come from? 432 00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:26,120 Speaker 2: Which is a legitimate question. 433 00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:28,359 Speaker 7: We hope so, I mean, of course, the president just 434 00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:33,360 Speaker 7: can't keep signing presidential memorandums and proclamations every time Congress 435 00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:36,359 Speaker 7: fails to do its job, and every time Democrats are 436 00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:40,040 Speaker 7: holding our entire country hostage, picking and choosing which programs 437 00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:43,280 Speaker 7: and agencies they want to fund just because they don't 438 00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:44,879 Speaker 7: like this administration's policies. 439 00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:46,720 Speaker 4: That's not how it's supposed to work. 440 00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:51,639 Speaker 7: They voted seven times against funding DHS over partisan in 441 00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:54,840 Speaker 7: political reasons. And so again the President has stepped in 442 00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:56,720 Speaker 7: to do the right thing at this moment in time. 443 00:26:57,080 --> 00:26:59,840 Speaker 7: But the President is also encouraging Congress to come back 444 00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:03,719 Speaker 7: to Washington to permanently fix this problem and to fund 445 00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:06,439 Speaker 7: and reopen the Department of Homeland Security entirely. 446 00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:08,840 Speaker 4: I'm Stephen, Thank you, Caroline. 447 00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:11,679 Speaker 8: The two questions well on CSA one on ron on 448 00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:15,639 Speaker 8: TSA for ordinary Americans Washington briefing. 449 00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:21,160 Speaker 2: How so you're somebody at home, You're watching the briefing 450 00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:25,520 Speaker 2: regarding TSA, And the question is how long until things 451 00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:30,560 Speaker 2: go back to normal at the airports after the President 452 00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:34,160 Speaker 2: engages this action of paying them, and the President on Iran, 453 00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:35,240 Speaker 2: you know, and again. 454 00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:38,560 Speaker 7: The resident Commander in Chief has always stated four to 455 00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:42,240 Speaker 7: six weeks estimated timeline for Operation Epic Fury. We're on 456 00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:46,680 Speaker 7: day thirty today, So again you do the math on 457 00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:49,960 Speaker 7: how much longer the Pentagon needs to fully achieve the 458 00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:53,639 Speaker 7: objectives of Operation Epic Fury, which I will reiterate, destroy 459 00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:57,800 Speaker 7: the Iranian Navy, destroy their ballistic missiles, dismantle their missile 460 00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:03,240 Speaker 7: and drone production infrastructure, sure significantly weaken their proxies throughout 461 00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:05,640 Speaker 7: the course of this operation, and then of course preventing 462 00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:10,120 Speaker 7: Iran from ever obtaining a nuclear weapon. To your first question, Stephen, 463 00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:13,640 Speaker 7: about TSA and airports, nothing will be truly normal again 464 00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:17,280 Speaker 7: until Democrats do the right thing to fund this agency fully. Again, 465 00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:19,479 Speaker 7: the President has stepped in in the meantime to do 466 00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:23,520 Speaker 7: what's right to end this crisis that we've had at 467 00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:26,680 Speaker 7: air travel and at airports across the country in the meantime. 468 00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:28,320 Speaker 4: But again, Congress needs to come back. 469 00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:31,080 Speaker 7: Democrats need to fund the Department of Homeland Security so 470 00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:34,840 Speaker 7: we can formally and fully get these great employees played 471 00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:37,040 Speaker 7: paid long into the future. 472 00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:42,080 Speaker 8: Jonathan let's see the next question regarding the financial costs 473 00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:44,960 Speaker 8: of the work back joining the person talking about money 474 00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:49,240 Speaker 8: nineteen ninety nineteen ninety one, Arab countries financial costs, majority 475 00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:53,160 Speaker 8: of the costs of the war, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, the UAE. 476 00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:54,080 Speaker 1: Who's paying? 477 00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:58,200 Speaker 2: So the question is who's paying for what is that's 478 00:28:58,200 --> 00:28:58,760 Speaker 2: happening here? 479 00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:02,760 Speaker 7: Considering President really a lot of people are calling them 480 00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:03,000 Speaker 7: to do. 481 00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:06,600 Speaker 4: I won't get ahead of him on that, but certainly it's. 482 00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:09,000 Speaker 7: An idea that I know that he has in something 483 00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:10,640 Speaker 7: that I think you'll hear more from him on. 484 00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:15,080 Speaker 8: And then secondly, the cost of diesel is averaging at 485 00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:18,160 Speaker 8: five point thirty eight a gallon right now, what's the 486 00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:21,600 Speaker 8: message from the Trump administration to truck. 487 00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:23,560 Speaker 4: Drivers who are dealing with those high fuel. 488 00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:23,840 Speaker 1: Costs right now? 489 00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:26,400 Speaker 4: Again, we understand, we hear you, we see you. 490 00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:30,520 Speaker 7: We are fully tracking this short term fluctuation in oil 491 00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:33,280 Speaker 7: and in diesel prices. And that's why the President and 492 00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:38,000 Speaker 7: the administration have continually announced robust actions to provide stability 493 00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:41,400 Speaker 7: in the global energy market. As you know, political risk insurance. 494 00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:45,320 Speaker 7: One of those actions allowing countries to purchase sanction Doyle 495 00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:48,960 Speaker 7: just to increase the supply. In the meantime, we've worked 496 00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:53,040 Speaker 7: to release four hundred billion barrels of oil and refined 497 00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:53,920 Speaker 7: products as well. 498 00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:56,080 Speaker 4: We issued the sixty day Jones actwaiver. 499 00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:59,560 Speaker 7: All of this has with the goal of increasing supply 500 00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:03,120 Speaker 7: to career eight stabilization in the market in the meantime. 501 00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:06,200 Speaker 7: But the overall message, as we've repeatedly stated, is again, 502 00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:10,840 Speaker 7: these are short term actions and short term price fluctuations 503 00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:15,320 Speaker 7: for the long term benefit of ending the threat that 504 00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:18,240 Speaker 7: are on poses to the United States of America, our troops, 505 00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:19,520 Speaker 7: and our allies in the. 506 00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:25,600 Speaker 2: And this should have been said before the day of 507 00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:26,840 Speaker 2: the first bombs. 508 00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:32,600 Speaker 1: This is for everything this administration can do. Man, they are. 509 00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:38,320 Speaker 2: Terrible salespeople, which is insane. This should have been the 510 00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:41,200 Speaker 2: statement from the President before. There's gonna be a short 511 00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:43,520 Speaker 2: term pain, and it's gonna be worth it because our 512 00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:44,640 Speaker 2: kids are gonna be safer. 513 00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:52,800 Speaker 1: That's the story. 514 00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:59,400 Speaker 2: That's the story, what's going to happen, And here's how 515 00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:03,200 Speaker 2: we're gonna hand. But yeah, truckers are right now taking 516 00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:04,400 Speaker 2: it on the chin and things are gonna be more 517 00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:06,800 Speaker 2: expensive at the store. And if you want to talk 518 00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:10,200 Speaker 2: about how we help those people, Mom all in all 519 00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:13,360 Speaker 2: in for that, we take the quick break. Keep it 520 00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:15,760 Speaker 2: here on Tony Katz. This is Tony Katz today. 521 00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:18,120 Speaker 7: We should all be very proud of our enforces for 522 00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:20,600 Speaker 7: what they have done over the past thirty days. The 523 00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:23,200 Speaker 7: mission will continue until the objectives are achieved, and that 524 00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:25,280 Speaker 7: four to six week timeline does remain right now. I 525 00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:27,120 Speaker 7: don't have any updates for you on that. 526 00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:32,800 Speaker 2: Apparently, like White House Press briefing continues to Tony Katz. 527 00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:37,640 Speaker 2: Tony Katz today, guys, an absolute pleasure to be with you. 528 00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:41,440 Speaker 2: As Caroline Lovit keeps answering questions, mostly about Iran, not 529 00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:45,960 Speaker 2: as much about the shutdown. Any hypotheticals being asked to 530 00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:50,560 Speaker 2: her that she's willing to engage if the US. 531 00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:53,840 Speaker 1: Seeks a ground war to what she's not going to answer. 532 00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:57,040 Speaker 7: Various times He's obviously declined to rule them out. It's 533 00:31:57,080 --> 00:32:00,840 Speaker 7: the Pentagon's job to provide maximum optional to the President. 534 00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:03,120 Speaker 7: Does not mean he's made a decision, nor would he 535 00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:06,560 Speaker 7: ever notify the media of such a decision as to 536 00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:10,120 Speaker 7: tip off our enemy. With respect to abiding by Congress 537 00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:12,800 Speaker 7: in the rule of law, that's something the administration will, 538 00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:16,239 Speaker 7: of course always do, and it's something that we have 539 00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:21,560 Speaker 7: great respect for Congress, the President does with military operations. 540 00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:25,200 Speaker 7: In fact, prior to the launch of Operation Epic Fury, 541 00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:27,880 Speaker 7: as you know, the administration gave a courtesy notice to 542 00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:30,800 Speaker 7: Congress in the Gang of Eight in top level administration 543 00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:34,600 Speaker 7: officials and Cabinet secretaries have gone to Congress multiple times 544 00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:38,080 Speaker 7: over the past thirty days to provide those courtesy briefings 545 00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:40,680 Speaker 7: to Congress when requested, do you say quickly? 546 00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:43,840 Speaker 1: I was, well, I don't know if they're necessarily courtesies. 547 00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:50,040 Speaker 2: You might be required to give those briefings at least 548 00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:52,800 Speaker 2: after the first forty eight hours. So President Trump has, 549 00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:56,840 Speaker 2: via the War Powers Act, thirty more days to act 550 00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:58,840 Speaker 2: before he has to start winding things. 551 00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:03,160 Speaker 7: Down in times against reopening the Department of Homeland Security. 552 00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:06,400 Speaker 7: That we came to a place of an existential crisis. 553 00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:09,400 Speaker 7: I mean, you saw the lines at various major airports 554 00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:13,840 Speaker 7: across the country. American travelers really paying the price for 555 00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:15,240 Speaker 7: Democrats partisan games. 556 00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:16,000 Speaker 4: And so the. 557 00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:18,480 Speaker 7: President worked with his legal team here at the White House, 558 00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:20,959 Speaker 7: in the Office of Management and Budget to find a 559 00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:24,200 Speaker 7: solution to take care of the emergency that we were 560 00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:27,360 Speaker 7: seeing and air travel across the country. And it's because 561 00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:29,840 Speaker 7: of the President that TSA agents are being paid. But 562 00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:32,280 Speaker 7: again he's calling on Congress to do the right thing, 563 00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:35,160 Speaker 7: to come back to Washington and to fund and reopen 564 00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:39,000 Speaker 7: the Department of Homeland Security. Fully sure, Hi, Lindsay ellis 565 00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:39,920 Speaker 7: from the Wall Street Journal. 566 00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:42,360 Speaker 4: I'm trying to square the four objectives laid out. 567 00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:48,080 Speaker 2: So she's trying to square the objectives? Is the Wall 568 00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:49,719 Speaker 2: Street Journal? Listen? 569 00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:52,520 Speaker 1: I got? 570 00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:56,160 Speaker 2: I must say that reopening with straight of horror moves 571 00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:57,880 Speaker 2: has got to be a top objective. 572 00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:02,040 Speaker 7: The objectives of Operation Cure our As follows destroying the 573 00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:06,880 Speaker 7: Iranian Navy, destroying their ballistic missiles, dismantling their defense industrial 574 00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:10,799 Speaker 7: infrastructure that produces those weapons that have long threatened the 575 00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:13,240 Speaker 7: United States and our allies, and then of course preventing 576 00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:17,080 Speaker 7: Iran from ever obtaining a nuclear weapon. The full reopening 577 00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:19,800 Speaker 7: of the strait is something the administration is working towards, 578 00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:22,760 Speaker 7: but the core objectives of the operation have been clearly 579 00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:25,120 Speaker 7: defined for the American people by the Commander in chief. 580 00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:26,600 Speaker 1: It's an interesting point. 581 00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:34,439 Speaker 2: The push on oil prices is the push to say, 582 00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:42,399 Speaker 2: you see this isn't working. Notice the avoidance of they 583 00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:44,759 Speaker 2: really don't have an infrastructure, do they They certainly don't 584 00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:50,399 Speaker 2: have a leadership infrastructure in Iran. They militarily have been 585 00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:54,560 Speaker 2: ripped asunder. They're not done. There's still missile launchers out there, 586 00:34:55,760 --> 00:35:00,560 Speaker 2: there's still threats out there. But notice the there's nothing 587 00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:05,160 Speaker 2: on that. Why discuss that success or even cheer it. 588 00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:09,440 Speaker 2: No discussions of well, how long can the Iranians hold on? 589 00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:09,839 Speaker 7: Here? 590 00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:13,359 Speaker 2: No, it's how long can we hold on? Because these 591 00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:17,040 Speaker 2: gas prices are just too high. They suck. They sucks 592 00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:21,080 Speaker 2: under Biden too. That's why I say President did a 593 00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:25,280 Speaker 2: lousy job of selling it. They are lousy, lousy salespeople 594 00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:29,520 Speaker 2: over there at the administration. They just expect everybody to 595 00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:33,000 Speaker 2: go along, and that's not the real world. There is 596 00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:34,839 Speaker 2: a reason for this, there is a value to this. 597 00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:40,960 Speaker 2: We are better off with this regime gong and you 598 00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:43,160 Speaker 2: heard Carolin Levitt discuss it a little bit. This should 599 00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:45,640 Speaker 2: have happened a month ago. And he's to come from 600 00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:48,080 Speaker 2: the President and it means to be even much stronger 601 00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:50,239 Speaker 2: more show keep it here. 602 00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:52,160 Speaker 1: This is Tony Kats today.
