1
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:10,760
Speaker 1: Line from Vaal Hartber and the Crossroads of America. It's

2
00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:26,920
Speaker 1: Tony Katz today, Day.

3
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 2: Eleven of the war and the White House is a

4
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 2: setting up to brief Tony Kats Tony Katz today, Good

5
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:37,559
Speaker 2: to be here, Good to be with you. Eight three

6
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:40,960
Speaker 2: three four six eight eight six six nine eight three three.

7
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 3: I got Tony.

8
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:47,680
Speaker 2: That's how you get to be a part of the program.

9
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:48,560
Speaker 3: Pete Hegseth.

10
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:51,960
Speaker 2: He is the Secretary of War, as the kids call him.

11
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 2: He was speaking earlier today out of briefing.

12
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 4: The Mullahs are desperate and scram like the terrorist cowards

13
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:08,559
Speaker 4: they are. They fire missiles from schools and hospitals, deliberately

14
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 4: targeting innocence because they know their military is being systematically

15
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 4: degraded and annihilated. Iran's neighbors and in some cases former

16
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 4: allies in the Gulf, they've abandoned them and their proxies. Hesbela,

17
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 4: the Huthis and Hamas either broken, ineffective, or on the sidelines.

18
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:37,040
Speaker 4: Iran stands alone and they are badly losing.

19
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 3: Good because I don't care if they lose badly. I

20
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:43,199
Speaker 3: just want them to lose.

21
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 2: Did I say hello, Tony Katz? The show is Tony

22
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 2: Kats today. I want them to lose.

23
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 3: We win, they lose. That is a fine strategy.

24
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 2: I was making the argument earlier, and it's true that

25
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 2: the left cannot handle this idea. The left cannot handle

26
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:10,960
Speaker 2: the idea that it is very acceptable to have a

27
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 2: strategy that starts.

28
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 3: And ends with we win, you lose.

29
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 4: That's that on day ten of Operation Epic Fury, we

30
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 4: are winning with an overwhelming and unrelenting focus on our objectives,

31
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 4: which are the same as the day I gave my

32
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 4: first briefing here on Operation Epic Fury. They're straightforward, and

33
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 4: we are executing them with ruthless precision. One destroy their

34
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 4: missile stockpiles, their missile launchers and their defense industrial base

35
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 4: missiles and their ability to make them. Two destroy their navy,

36
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 4: and three permanently deny Iran nuclear weapons forever.

37
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 3: It's a laser focused.

38
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 4: Maximum authority mission delivered with overwhelming and unrelenting precision, no hesitation,

39
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 4: no half measures. As President Trump declared yesterday, we're crushing

40
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 4: the enemy in an overwhelming.

41
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:19,639
Speaker 5: Display of technical skill and military force.

42
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:23,919
Speaker 4: We will not relent until the enemy is totally and

43
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 4: decisively defeated. But we do so we do so on

44
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 4: our timeline and at our choosing correct.

45
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 2: I agree with every single part of that. This seems

46
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 2: to be anathema to the political left.

47
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 3: That's their problem. If I am the White House, if

48
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 3: I am the.

49
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 2: Department of War, Department of Defense, calm down, everybody.

50
00:03:58,480 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 3: I triple down on this.

51
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 2: The concept of winning, what it is to win, to

52
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 2: not be ashamed of strength or might.

53
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 3: We win, they lose?

54
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 2: That is an acceptable, valuable strategy.

55
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 3: I think we should share it with our kids. I

56
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:23,279
Speaker 3: think you should share.

57
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 2: It with your sons, and share it with your daughters,

58
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:26,479
Speaker 2: and share it with your grandkids, and share it with

59
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:31,599
Speaker 2: your nieces and nephews. We win, they lose. Sure, it'd

60
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:33,159
Speaker 2: be nice if everybody got along.

61
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:33,839
Speaker 3: It'd be nice.

62
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 2: Okay, with little disagreements, but fine. We could do that

63
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 2: with family. We do that with friends. We should be

64
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 2: able to do that in America politically. But when it

65
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 2: comes to terrorist agitators, sponsors of terrorism, we win, they lose.

66
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:56,160
Speaker 2: That's what it takes. That's the real world. Can't make

67
00:04:56,279 --> 00:05:02,160
Speaker 2: nice with people who want to kill you can't be done.

68
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:06,600
Speaker 3: I think we should teach that lesson.

69
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:10,360
Speaker 2: It's a good one. It's a valuable one. It's an

70
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 2: important one.

71
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:13,359
Speaker 6: I was.

72
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:20,040
Speaker 3: I'll probably get into this tomorrow. There was this moment

73
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 3: on Capitol Hill. It was the Senate Budget.

74
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:28,160
Speaker 2: Committee, I think it was, and it's Lindsey Graham and

75
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 2: they are talking in this budget committee about homeland security.

76
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:37,840
Speaker 3: Excuse me there, and.

77
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:42,719
Speaker 2: In this conversation about homeland security, he brings up the

78
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 2: illegal immigrant who killed Stephanie Minter. Stephanie Mintor was stabbed

79
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:53,479
Speaker 2: to death at a bus stop in Virginia. And she

80
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:58,720
Speaker 2: was stabbed to death at a bus stop in Virginia

81
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:03,919
Speaker 2: because Virginia, like many other states, does not respond to

82
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:10,919
Speaker 2: ice detainer requests and they allow people to go free.

83
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:15,280
Speaker 2: So you've got these people who shouldn't be on the streets,

84
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:24,720
Speaker 2: on the streets engage in acts of violence, a guy

85
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:28,720
Speaker 2: we knew who would be violent. They were warned, if

86
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:31,160
Speaker 2: you let this guy back on the streets, bad.

87
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 3: Things will happen.

88
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 2: And Lindsey Graham is making a very very acceptable and valuable.

89
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 3: Argument, which is.

90
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 2: Why are you people like this, not the illegal immigrants

91
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:49,919
Speaker 2: in this case, but the political left, the Soros aligned

92
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:51,599
Speaker 2: DA's and the rest.

93
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 3: You guys are.

94
00:06:53,880 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 2: Engaged in full on violence against the American citizenry.

95
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:04,039
Speaker 3: What you support is nonsense, madness. He's right.

96
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 2: The removal of the legal immigrants from the United States

97
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 2: is smart and valuable. It's important, and it should happen

98
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 2: with more speed and regularity. We shouldn't. I discussed this

99
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 2: as well. We should not stop what ICE is doing.

100
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 2: We should triple down on what ICE is doing. Now,

101
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 2: you want to change a tactic ortoon, knock yourselves out,

102
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 2: You're not gonna see me object as long as people

103
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 2: are still being removed. We've seen removals out of New Orleans.

104
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 2: No fighting back there from the populace. Other splots in

105
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 2: the country, only Minneapolis. I'm surprised it actually hasn't grown

106
00:07:54,920 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 2: in that regard winning. We keep the country safe by

107
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 2: having legal immigration and a system to make that happen,

108
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 2: knowing who's coming into the country, and welcoming those people

109
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 2: because they want to be Americans and live the American

110
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 2: dream and engage the American way of life under American rules.

111
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 3: We keep out the violence, we keep out the.

112
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 2: Riff raft, We keep out the people who want to

113
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 2: be takers and don't want to provide, don't want to give,

114
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 2: don't want to contribute, don't want to be a part

115
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 2: of They think that they somehow could do whatever they want,

116
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 2: and you have to do things their way. I think

117
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:38,960
Speaker 2: we should say screw them, They're not what we want.

118
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 2: That is not valuable at all for the nation.

119
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 3: In any way.

120
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:48,440
Speaker 2: What should we do to people who sponsor terrorism? We

121
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 2: should kill them until they stop. Now we can't, I

122
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 2: agree with Senator Ram Paul, and I'll get into that.

123
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:04,960
Speaker 2: Can't be everywhere, can't do everything, can't free every person

124
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 2: on the planet.

125
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 3: But people who are attacking us, harming us, we can

126
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 3: do anything.

127
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:17,560
Speaker 2: We want to them. I want to be left alone.

128
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:20,080
Speaker 2: People are like, we just leave each other alone. Nothing

129
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 2: will make me happier than being left alone. I made

130
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:26,439
Speaker 2: the argument numerous times that the only things I'm interested

131
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 2: are eating a steak, smoking a cigar, and having sex

132
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 2: with my wife.

133
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 3: And sometimes I'm not even the mood for steak. Leave

134
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 3: me alone.

135
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 2: You think the Iranians were leaving us alone? If you

136
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 2: believe that, not you, let's talk about them. If they

137
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 2: believe that, they're out of their minds, out of their minds,

138
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 2: because it's not true, it's probably not true. I think

139
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 2: we should explain this to our kids, that winning is

140
00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 2: okay that wanting to live with people and engage and

141
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 2: everybody just being cool, calm and collected. That is great,

142
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 2: and that's wonderful. When someone is hurting you, we win

143
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:15,320
Speaker 2: and they lose. That is a very acceptable approach. I'm

144
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:17,679
Speaker 2: Tony Katz. This is Tony Katz.

145
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 3: Today.

146
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:22,560
Speaker 2: The White House Press Briefing has begun. Caroline Levitts at

147
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:25,959
Speaker 2: the podium, Tony Katz, Tony Katz today, good to.

148
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 3: Be with you. Let's take it to the White House

Speaker 6: Let's begin with some scheduling updates. Tomorrow, President Trump will

151
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:38,840
Speaker 6: travel to the Great States of Ohio and Kentucky, where

152
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:42,199
Speaker 6: he will toeut his economic victories and detail the administration

153
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 6: wide efforts to continuing lowering prices to make everyday life

154
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 6: more affordable for working America.

155
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:50,080
Speaker 3: No Indiana, that's a President will.

156
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:53,920
Speaker 6: Visit Thermo Fisher Scientific in Ohio and give remarks at

157

00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 6: several executive orders and we will provide more details on

161
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:10,960
Speaker 6: those later this week. As President Trump shared with the

162
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 6: American people last night. The United States military is making

163
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 6: tremendous strides towards achieving our military objectives for Operation Epic Fury.

164
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 6: Ten days in. This campaign has been a resounding success

165
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:28,480
Speaker 6: thus far, and America's warriors are winning this important fight

166
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 6: at an even faster pace than we anticipated. More than

167
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:35,320
Speaker 6: five thousand enemy targets have been struck so far.

168
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 5: Iran's ballistic missile attacks.

169
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 6: Are down more than ninety percent and their drone attacks

170
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 6: are down by approximately eighty five percent since the start

171
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 6: of Operation Epic Fury. The United States is also annihilating

172
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 6: the Iranian regimes navy, and we have destroyed more than

173
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 6: fifty Iranian naval vessels, including a major drone carrier ship.

174
00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 6: None of the regime's vessels are operating in major regional waterways,

175
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 6: and the Iranian Navy has been assessed as combat ineffective.

176
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 6: The trend is clear. US combat capabilities are increasing and

177
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 6: growing more lethal and dominant by the day, while the

178
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:18,080
Speaker 6: Iranian terrorist regime's ability to respond has rapidly declined. Now,

179
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:22,680
Speaker 6: the US military is moving to dismantle Iran's missile production infrastructure.

180
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 6: Our incredible B two bombers recently dropped dozens of two

181
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 6: thousand pounds penetrator bombs on deeply buried missile sites. Last night,

182
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 6: President Trump reiterated his commitment towards keeping oil flowing through

183
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:39,480
Speaker 6: the Strait of her Moves so the United States and

184
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 6: all of our allies can receive.

185
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:42,200
Speaker 5: Their energy needs.

186
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:46,320
Speaker 6: President Trump will not allow rogue Iranian terrorists to stop

187
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:49,679
Speaker 6: the freedom of navigation and the free flow of energy.

188
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 6: Let me be clear, it is a good thing to

189
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 6: wipe out terrorists who indiscriminately target civilians and attempt to

190
00:12:57,040 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 6: hold the global economy hostage, and President Trump could be

191
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 6: should be commended for doing so.

192
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:06,280
Speaker 5: As the President made unequivocally clear to.

193
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:09,760
Speaker 6: The remaining elements of this terrorist regime in his statement yesterday,

194
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:12,720
Speaker 6: if they do anything to stop the flow of oil

195
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:15,480
Speaker 6: or goods within the Strait of hermus they will be

196
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:19,679
Speaker 6: hit by the world's most powerful military twenty times harder

197
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 6: than they have been hit thus far. The stated objectives

198
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 6: for Operation Epic Fury remain the same. Destroy the terrorist

199
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 6: regime's ballistic missiles, raise their Iranian missile industry to the ground,

200
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:36,080
Speaker 6: ensure their terrorist proxies can no longer destabilize the region

201
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:40,440
Speaker 6: and ensure that Iran never obtains a nuclear weapon. President

202
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 6: Trump remains confident these goals will be accomplished in swift fashion.

203
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:48,200
Speaker 6: As for the oil, President Trump fully expected the rogue

204
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 6: Iranian regime to try and disrupt the global markets.

205
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:54,000
Speaker 5: That's why President Trump and his energy team have been

206
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 5: planning for this.

207
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:58,040
Speaker 6: Long before the strike and have moved quickly to address

208
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 6: these temporary disruptions. Thus far, the Trump administration has offered

209
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 6: political risk insurance to tankers operating in the Gulf, the

210
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 6: Treasury temporarily waived certain oil related sanctions, and the Commander

211
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 6: in Chief has offered the US Navy to escort tankers

212
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 6: when necessary.

213
00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:17,319
Speaker 5: The President and his energy.

214
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 6: Team are closely watching the markets, speaking with industry leaders,

215
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:24,440
Speaker 6: and the US military is jarring up additional options following

216
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 6: the President's directive to continue keeping the straight up her

217
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 6: moose open. I will not broadcast what those options look like,

218
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:34,440
Speaker 6: but just know the President is not afraid to use them.

219
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 6: Rest assured to the American people, their recent increase in

220
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 6: oil and gas prices is temporary, and this operation will

221
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:45,640
Speaker 6: result in lower gas prices in the long term. Once

222
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:50,120
Speaker 6: the national security objectives of Operation Epic fury are fully achieved,

223
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 6: Americans will see oil and gas prices drop rapidly, potentially

224
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 6: even lower than they were prior to the start of

225
00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 6: the operation, and we will live in a world where

226
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 6: Iran can no longer threaten the United States or our

227
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 6: allies with a nuclear bomb. On another matter, here at home,

228
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 6: President Trump is urging Congress to pass these Save America

229
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 6: Act one of the most critical pieces of legislation in

230
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:19,160
Speaker 6: our nation's history, the Save America Act is overwhelmingly popular

231
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:20,600
Speaker 6: with all Americans.

232
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 5: Each provision is rooted in common sense.

233
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:27,760
Speaker 6: The Save America Act has five simple requirements, as requested

234
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:31,440
Speaker 6: by the President of the United States. Number one, voters

235
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 6: have to show id to cast a ballot in an

236
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 6: American election.

237
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 5: Very simple.

238
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:39,800
Speaker 6: Ninety percent of Americans, including more than eighty percent of

239
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:44,520
Speaker 6: Democrat voters, agree with this. Number two, the Save America

240
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 6: Act will require all voters to show proof of citizenship

241
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 6: in order to register to vote in American elections. Again,

242
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:56,200
Speaker 6: this is popular and rooted in common sense. Only American

243
00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 6: citizens have the right to vote in American elections. But

244
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:02,520
Speaker 6: after Joe Biden and the Democrats allowed tens of millions

245
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 6: of illegal aliens into our country. It's more important than

246
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 6: ever to ensure that only American citizens are registering to.

247
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 5: Vote in our on our nation's voter roles.

248
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:15,160
Speaker 6: In Congress needs to pass this number three, The Save

249
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:19,640
Speaker 6: America Act abolishes the incredibly unsecure practice of universal mail

250
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 6: in ballots, which throw the door wide open for fraud. Importantly,

251
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:26,960
Speaker 6: the Save America Act maintains exceptions for Americans to use

252
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:30,360
Speaker 6: mail and that wide open for fraud. Importantly, the Save

253
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 6: America Act maintains exceptions for Americans to use mail in

254
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:38,240
Speaker 6: ballots for illness, disability, military, or travel reasons.

255
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 3: Can I just say that she is.

256
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 2: She often comes out, you know, direct and focused, and

257
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:49,320
Speaker 2: I am always someone.

258
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:58,840
Speaker 3: Who it's too. It's always to President laudatory. It's a personal.

259
00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 2: Thing with me. It drives me crazy. I don't know

260
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:03,680
Speaker 2: if it drives other people crazy. Putting that to the side,

261
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:07,359
Speaker 2: she's come out punching.

262
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:12,480
Speaker 1: This is.

263
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:17,400
Speaker 2: Never mind the tone of voice, the volume, which doesn't

264
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 2: bother me at all. I think it gets to some

265
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:24,120
Speaker 2: other people. She is coming out punching, We're gonna win

266
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:27,480
Speaker 2: this war. We're doing it right. President knew there'd be

267
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:28,960
Speaker 2: a problem with oil all the time. That's why he's

268
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:33,239
Speaker 2: doing this and this and this lower prices. And by

269
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:36,120
Speaker 2: the way, we're sending five destroyers into the Straits.

270
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:36,399
Speaker 3: And poor moves.

271
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:41,160
Speaker 2: And if Iran sneezes, we're gonna be brutal. We're gonna

272
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:43,920
Speaker 2: give safe passage to tankers. That's what the answer needs

273
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:48,640
Speaker 2: to be. But on the Save Act, I mean, this

274
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:52,200
Speaker 2: is real pressure that they're trying to put on center

275
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:56,000
Speaker 2: Republicans to do away with the filibuster and get this done.

276
00:17:56,240 --> 00:18:00,240
Speaker 2: That understand what this is real pressure.

277
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:03,919
Speaker 6: The bipartisan in two thousand and five report of the

278
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:08,320
Speaker 6: Commission on Federal Election Reform, shared by of all People,

279
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:12,480
Speaker 6: former President Jimmy Carter and former Secretary of Saint James Baker,

280
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:17,119
Speaker 6: concluded that quote, absentee ballots remain the largest source of

281
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:20,359
Speaker 6: potential voter fraud, and it is time for Congress to

282
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:24,879
Speaker 6: finally address this. Number four, the Save America Act permanently

283
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:28,840
Speaker 6: bans men from competing in women's sports. President Trump signed

284
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:32,240
Speaker 6: a landmark executive order upholding the promise of Title nine

285
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:35,840
Speaker 6: and ending this dangerous and unfair practice. But now it's

286
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:40,160
Speaker 6: time for Congress to codify this into law. Number five,

287
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:44,480
Speaker 6: the Save America Act bans transgender mutilation surgery for children.

288
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:45,200
Speaker 5: Again.

289
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:48,199
Speaker 6: President Trump signed a common sense executive order to do

290
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:50,040
Speaker 6: this and kept his promise to.

291
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 5: The American people.

292
00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 6: But now Congress needs to do the same and codify it.

293
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:57,000
Speaker 6: It's well passed time for Democrats in Congress to stop

294
00:18:57,040 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 6: perpetuating the radical and false claim that you can somehow

295
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:02,520
Speaker 6: change a child's sex.

296
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 5: You cannot. Passing the Save America Act is the.

297
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 6: Most important thing that Republicans and frankly Democrats can do

298
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:14,080
Speaker 6: to strengthen election integrity and protect our democracy. It's what

299
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:17,200
Speaker 6: the American people elected Republicans to do, and they must

300
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:20,320
Speaker 6: deliver on it as soon as possible. The President is

301
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 6: calling on Congress to get the job done and send

302
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:27,399
Speaker 6: this historic piece of legislation to his desk immediately for signature.

303
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:29,920
Speaker 6: So with that, today I will take your questions. Benny,

304
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 6: thank you for being here, and one I'm starting off,

305
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 6: thank you erly.

306
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:34,560
Speaker 7: So my first question is actually about to say the

307
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:35,200
Speaker 7: America Act.

308
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:38,119
Speaker 2: So what we'll get to your question, we'll get to

309
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 2: you have no fear. I'm going to keep the press conference.

310
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:42,400
Speaker 3: Keep it here.

311
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:47,440
Speaker 2: It's Tony Katz today. So the first question out of

312
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 2: the gate to Karin John Pierre. See I brought that

313
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:52,640
Speaker 2: up during the break and now it's in my head.

314
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:57,320
Speaker 2: Why was it so difficult for Karing John Pierre to

315
00:19:57,320 --> 00:20:01,199
Speaker 2: do this job? Can Well, that looks like she's prepared

316
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:05,200
Speaker 2: all the time. Maybe if Crin John Pierre had actually

317
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:08,560
Speaker 2: put some effort into it. Tony Katz, Tony Katz today,

318
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:10,399
Speaker 2: good to be here, Good to be with you. Caroline

319
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:12,399
Speaker 2: love it giving the White House Press briefing, and the

320
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:16,320
Speaker 2: first question was about the Save Act or the Save

321
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:17,120
Speaker 2: America Act.

322
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:19,600
Speaker 7: This question is actually about the Save America Act. So

323
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:23,639
Speaker 7: one of the biggest things that the Democrats are saying,

324
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:26,680
Speaker 7: the claims that they're making is that the Save America

325
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:32,760
Speaker 7: Action it would prevent married women from voting and elections

326
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:35,199
Speaker 7: or make it harder for them. What do you have

327
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:38,280
Speaker 7: to say to those claims? Is there any validity to them?

328
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:40,680
Speaker 7: And where do you think they're getting this from.

329
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:43,400
Speaker 6: There is zero validity to these claims, and I'm glad

330
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 6: that you brought them up, because you have the Democrats

331
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:48,160
Speaker 6: who have created this myth and it has been perpetuated

332
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:51,520
Speaker 6: unfortunately by many in the mainstream media. Let me be

333
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:55,080
Speaker 6: very clear, the Save America Act does not prohibit anyone

334
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:58,240
Speaker 6: from voting, with the exception of illegal aliens. And the

335
00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 6: greatest way to disenfranchise American citizens from voting in American

336
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:04,879
Speaker 6: elections is to allow legal aliens to vote, which is

337
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 6: what Democrats want to do. We see it taking place

338
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 6: in Democrat jurisdictions at the state and local level across

339
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 6: this country.

340
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:12,760
Speaker 3: And that is true.

341
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:14,440
Speaker 2: We have had people go to jail for it, people

342
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:17,840
Speaker 2: be charged with it, all sorts of things about ballot

343
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:21,840
Speaker 2: issues and registration issues. Let's not deny that it's happening.

344
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:25,080
Speaker 2: Tony Katz, Tony Katz today, Good to be here, Good

345
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:26,840
Speaker 2: to be with you. I forget sometimes when I say love,

346
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:29,160
Speaker 2: so I like to to make sure I go back

347
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:30,320
Speaker 2: and do that.

348
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:32,960
Speaker 3: But then Caroline Levitt gets into.

349
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:35,719
Speaker 2: Well, do we all understand how this works and what

350
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:37,760
Speaker 2: this means, and this idea that women won't be able

351
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:38,879
Speaker 2: to vote, it's just silly.

352
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 6: Save America Act corrects that. And as far as married

353
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:44,680
Speaker 6: women who have changed their name, if they're already registered

354
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:47,679
Speaker 6: to vote, they're entirely unaffected by the Save Act. And

355
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:50,959
Speaker 6: for the small fraction of individuals who have changed their

356
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:53,560
Speaker 6: name or their address, they can still register to vote.

357
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:55,520
Speaker 5: Of course, they just have to go through their state

358
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:58,360
Speaker 5: processes to update that documentation.

359
00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:01,639
Speaker 6: And this is something that the America people, married, women

360
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:05,560
Speaker 6: and minorities and people all across this country who Democrats

361
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:08,760
Speaker 6: are insultingly saying cannot do this. They're already doing it

362
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:11,240
Speaker 6: every day, going to the Social Security Office, going to

363
00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:11,720
Speaker 6: the DMV.

364
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:12,880
Speaker 5: And I think it's.

365
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:15,119
Speaker 6: Frankly insulting that the Democrats are saying that there are

366
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:17,600
Speaker 6: certain groups of people in this country who aren't smart

367
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 6: enough to update their documentation to allow them to vote.

368
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:21,080
Speaker 5: Again.

369
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 6: This is a huge myth, and thank you for giving

370
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:24,639
Speaker 6: me the opportunity to address it.

371
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:30,399
Speaker 2: You have still Democratic leadership saying that people of color

372
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:31,960
Speaker 2: and women won't be able to vote.

373
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:35,480
Speaker 3: It's a lie. It's beyond insulting.

374
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:42,359
Speaker 2: They are the left is saying that women and people

375
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:43,760
Speaker 2: of color are too dumb.

376
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:48,359
Speaker 3: To get an ID. It is embarrassing, it is pathetic.

377
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:49,959
Speaker 3: It is what it is.

378
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:53,639
Speaker 2: And I don't know why people who are of color,

379
00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 2: I don't know they say people of color, what good lord?

380
00:22:58,080 --> 00:22:59,639
Speaker 3: And women? I don't know how you could vote for

381
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:01,440
Speaker 3: this stuff. I don't know.

382
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:04,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, you could vote for people who think that you're incompetent.

383
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:07,960
Speaker 2: It's it's belittling, it's gross. I don't think you should

384
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:10,600
Speaker 2: take that abuse. Let's get back to the presser, of course.

385
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:12,800
Speaker 7: And there was one one more question about VHS. The

386
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:15,480
Speaker 7: funding issue has been three plus weeks now. I was

387
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:17,800
Speaker 7: actually so, I was at the airport this morning in

388
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:20,480
Speaker 7: Saint Louis, Missouri, and it was early in the morning,

389
00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:23,320
Speaker 7: and one of the TSA agents I saw she was

390
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:24,879
Speaker 7: kind of tearing up. She was crying.

391
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:25,399
Speaker 5: I asked her.

392
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:27,840
Speaker 7: I was like, what, Like, what's what's wrong? And she

393
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:30,840
Speaker 7: was like, I can't make my phone payment. I can

394
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:34,280
Speaker 7: barely make my my car payment that's coming up. I

395
00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:37,520
Speaker 7: want what do you I think A lot in the

396
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:41,639
Speaker 7: beltwegh there's so much noise between Democrats Republicans. It's the

397
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:44,439
Speaker 7: Democrats fault, it for Republicans fault. But what is the

398
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 7: White House's message to the American people that are struggling

399
00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:50,840
Speaker 7: because they're not getting that paycheck and it's take away

400
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:51,600
Speaker 7: the politics.

401
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:53,800
Speaker 3: What do you question? Please?

402
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:58,360
Speaker 6: President Trump wants the Department of Homeland Security, he wants TFSA,

403
00:23:58,600 --> 00:23:59,439
Speaker 6: he wants FEMA.

404
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:00,960
Speaker 5: He wants the rave men and women of our.

405
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:03,960
Speaker 6: United States Coast Guard to receive their paychecks, and he

406
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:07,359
Speaker 6: wants this department to be fully funded and fully reopened.

407
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:10,320
Speaker 6: And so to any American out there who is struggling

408
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:12,400
Speaker 6: without a paycheck, we know there's more than one hundred

409
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:15,280
Speaker 6: thousand of you across the country. To any American out

410
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:17,560
Speaker 6: there who is showing up to an airport and facing

411
00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:22,159
Speaker 6: incredibly long wait times and lines, call your Democrat member

412
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:24,359
Speaker 6: of Congress and tell them to fund the Department of

413
00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:28,840
Speaker 6: Home Security. That's what Caroline, and it's completely ridiculous that

414
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:31,960
Speaker 6: the American people are suffering as a result of these

415
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:33,480
Speaker 6: partisan games that are being played.

416
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:36,360
Speaker 2: Go out there, talk to the people online, bring them

417
00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:38,440
Speaker 2: a drink, and tell them you're sorry they I'm to sufferer.

418
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:40,960
Speaker 3: Blame Democrats for it right in front of the people,

419
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:42,480
Speaker 3: and your current time fight for.

420
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:45,960
Speaker 6: Proper So look, as you know, Steve, the president and

421
00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:49,400
Speaker 6: the US military's initial timeline was about.

422
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:51,160
Speaker 5: Four to six weeks to achieve the full.

423
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:54,560
Speaker 6: Objectives of Operation Epic Fury again, to destroy their missiles

424
00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:57,800
Speaker 6: and their ability, to make them destroy their navy permanently,

425
00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:00,800
Speaker 6: deny them nuclear weapons forever, and to of course weaken

426
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:03,639
Speaker 6: their evil terrorist proxies in the region. We know that

427
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:07,720
Speaker 6: the US military and our brave warfighters are quickly and

428
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:12,640
Speaker 6: expeditiously executing these objectives well ahead of schedule. But ultimately

429
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:15,879
Speaker 6: the operations will end when the Commander in chief determines

430
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:18,880
Speaker 6: the military objectives have been met fully realized, and that

431
00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:22,840
Speaker 6: Iran is in a position of complete and unconditional surrender.

432
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:24,879
Speaker 5: Whether they say it or not, the.

433
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:29,720
Speaker 8: President still want Iran's unconditional Well, when President Trump says

434
00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:33,359
Speaker 8: that Iran is in a place of unconditional surrender, he's

435
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:36,520
Speaker 8: not exclaiming the Iranian regime is going to come out

436
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:37,639
Speaker 8: and say that themselves.

437
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:41,320
Speaker 6: What the President means is that Iran's threats will no

438
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:44,760
Speaker 6: longer be backed by a ballistic missile arsenal that protects

439
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 6: them from building a nuclear bomb in their country. I

440
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:49,720
Speaker 6: could make an empty threat, but if I have no

441
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:52,720
Speaker 6: actions to back it up, then it's an empty threat.

442
00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:55,600
Speaker 6: And so President Trump will determine when Iran is in

443
00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:59,320
Speaker 6: a place of unconditional surrender, when they no longer pose

444
00:25:59,359 --> 00:25:59,919
Speaker 6: a credible and.

445
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:03,400
Speaker 5: Direct threat to the United States of America and our allies. Hedrianam,

446
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:05,440
Speaker 5: thank you.

447
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:09,800
Speaker 6: Can you explain why the Energy Secretary posted and then

448
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:12,320
Speaker 6: appear to have deleted a post on x saying that

449
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:14,359
Speaker 6: the US Navy escorted an oil taker.

450
00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 8: Though the strator.

451
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:17,720
Speaker 5: Propos yes, I was made aware of this post.

452
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:19,680
Speaker 6: I haven't had a chance to talk to the Energy

453
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:22,680
Speaker 6: Secretary about it directly. However, I know that post was

454
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:25,520
Speaker 6: taken down pretty quickly, and I can confirm that the

455
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:28,040
Speaker 6: US Navy has not escorted a tanker or a vessel

456
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:30,639
Speaker 6: at this time, though, of course that's an option the

457
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:34,360
Speaker 6: President has said he will absolutely utilize if and when

458
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:35,880
Speaker 6: necessary at the appropriate time.

459
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:40,679
Speaker 7: Something that was posted erroneously pretty because with staffer what

460
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:44,120
Speaker 7: you know, what I guess, Well, there be any consequences

461
00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:46,119
Speaker 7: for this, I know you still have to consult it generally.

462
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:48,359
Speaker 6: Speak again, I would defer you to the Department of

463
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:50,560
Speaker 6: Energy to answer that question, and I can just follow

464
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:51,359
Speaker 6: up really quickly.

465
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:55,480
Speaker 7: In terms of oil sanctions, the President said that.

466
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:57,959
Speaker 5: There would be some stations. What that would be lifted?

467
00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:00,000
Speaker 5: Would those be on Venezuela and Russia?

468
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:02,120
Speaker 7: You give some specifics there and then timing.

469
00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:02,400
Speaker 6: For that as well.

470
00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:02,840
Speaker 5: Sure.

471
00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:05,280
Speaker 6: I know it's something that the Treasury Department and the

472
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:08,840
Speaker 6: President's Energy team continue to discuss, and they will ultimately

473
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:10,880
Speaker 6: consult with the President before decisions are made.

474
00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 5: I don't have any announcements on new.

475
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:16,680
Speaker 6: Sanctions or the lifting of new sanctions for you today, Alex,

476
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:17,879
Speaker 6: thank you as.

477
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:19,400
Speaker 3: Well as one of the ones that about one.

478
00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:23,000
Speaker 9: Hundred and fifty US service members have been injured so far?

479
00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:26,600
Speaker 5: Can you confirm that number and elaborate on that. I

480
00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:28,639
Speaker 5: can't confirm the exact number.

481
00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:30,920
Speaker 6: I know it's within that ballpark, but I would defer

482
00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:34,880
Speaker 6: you to the Pentagon for a specific number of wounded

483
00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:35,920
Speaker 6: or injured thus far.

484
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:42,440
Speaker 3: And secondly, if I can, I wanted to ask about career.

485
00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:47,920
Speaker 3: There was a briefing on the Capitol Hill today and.

486
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:49,920
Speaker 4: Some Senators came out, and so they were more convinced

487
00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:52,000
Speaker 4: than ever that there was a.

488
00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:54,480
Speaker 5: US contub grounds and centered moluvement bolls.

489
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:57,920
Speaker 9: Of that effect, your reaction to that, and any update

490
00:27:57,960 --> 00:27:59,240
Speaker 9: on President Trump's thinking about it.

491
00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:03,639
Speaker 6: I would say that Democrats on Capitol Hill are clearly

492
00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:08,280
Speaker 6: being quite disingenuous. Three years ago, not a single Democrat

493
00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:12,639
Speaker 6: voted for the against the resolution condemning Iran as the

494
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:16,359
Speaker 6: world's leading state sponsor of terror. Yet now with President

495
00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:19,000
Speaker 6: Trump as commander in chief, finally taking the action that

496
00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:21,960
Speaker 6: so many Democrats have called on the commander in chief

497
00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:24,000
Speaker 6: to do for many, many years to wipe out the

498
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:27,159
Speaker 6: threat of a rogue Iranian terrorist regime. Now, all of

499
00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:30,440
Speaker 6: a sudden, Democrats are playing politics with this long standing

500
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:34,359
Speaker 6: bipartisan policy of the United States, and they fifty three

501
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:37,440
Speaker 6: of them in the House recently voted against the resolution

502
00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:40,760
Speaker 6: condemning Iran as the world's state sponsor of terror. So

503
00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:43,760
Speaker 6: I wouldn't take Democrats at their word. As for boots

504
00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:47,800
Speaker 6: on the ground, the President has talked about this repeatedly. Wisely,

505
00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:50,320
Speaker 6: he does not rule options out as commander in chief.

506
00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:53,200
Speaker 6: So again, I would hesitate to confirm anything that a

507
00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:55,960
Speaker 6: Democrat on Capitol Hill says right now about the President's thinking.

508
00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:57,400
Speaker 3: That is correct.

509
00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:01,760
Speaker 2: You out, because the clear argument it's going to be political.

510
00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:05,160
Speaker 3: Oh I know what the President's going to do.

511
00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:11,560
Speaker 2: No, you don't, No, you don't. Back to the press

512
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:12,880
Speaker 2: conference with Caroline.

513
00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:17,000
Speaker 9: Lovettled to Steve the military components of what would be

514
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 9: involved in ending this war. But it seems like there's

515
00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:22,480
Speaker 9: a political component to the President said the Fox earlier today.

516
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:25,800
Speaker 9: He doesn't believe the New Ayahtola can live in peace.

517
00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:28,800
Speaker 9: He made a variety of comments suggesting that he should

518
00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:31,760
Speaker 9: be involved in picking the new Iranian leader. Is the

519
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:35,360
Speaker 9: ending of this war also contingent on Iran selecting a

520
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:38,520
Speaker 9: leader that the President finds acceptable, And if so, how

521
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:41,560
Speaker 9: is that not being the definition of a regime change war.

522
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:45,920
Speaker 6: Look, as President Trump has blatantly and frankly stated, it's

523
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:49,160
Speaker 6: obviously within the best interests of the United States and

524
00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:53,719
Speaker 6: the West to no longer have a radical terrorist in

525
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:58,040
Speaker 6: charge of Iran, especially as we see their reaction to

526
00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:01,320
Speaker 6: Operation Epic Fury. They had their missile's turn towards our

527
00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:04,040
Speaker 6: Gulf and Arab partners in the region. Again, this was

528
00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:07,320
Speaker 6: a regime that chanted there's still chance death to America.

529
00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:09,160
Speaker 6: We look at the way that they are holding the

530
00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:12,440
Speaker 6: entire world hostage with the free the restricting of the

531
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:15,320
Speaker 6: free flow of energy through the strait of hermose. So

532
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:18,440
Speaker 6: the President, I think is making quite an obvious comment. Again,

533
00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:21,240
Speaker 6: as for the timeline of the military operations with respect

534
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:24,040
Speaker 6: to Iran, we have objectives that we have laid out

535
00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:26,520
Speaker 6: that the Commander in Chief wants to see achieved. When

536
00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:28,960
Speaker 6: they are achieved, then it will ultimately be up to

537
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:30,600
Speaker 6: the President to end this operation.

538
00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:32,320
Speaker 3: Okay, So I think.

539
00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:35,040
Speaker 9: You're I'm not exactly addressing my question though, is that

540
00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:39,360
Speaker 9: political objective also necessary for the president decide to end

541
00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:39,720
Speaker 9: this war?

542
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:43,040
Speaker 6: Look again, I just told you the objectives of Operation

543
00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:46,320
Speaker 6: Epic Fury. When those objectives are met, the President will

544
00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:49,040
Speaker 6: dictate the end of these operations when he deems that

545
00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:52,440
Speaker 6: Iran no longer poses a credible threat to the United

546
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:53,720
Speaker 6: States of America.

547
00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:57,640
Speaker 2: So is the question being asked about trying to get

548
00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:01,360
Speaker 2: it to be political? So so now you give cover

549
00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:03,600
Speaker 2: to the all of this is all just politics. It

550
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:05,920
Speaker 2: all just wag the dog. It's all about the Epstein

551
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:12,800
Speaker 2: files or some other insanity where Caroline Levitt shines and

552
00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:17,320
Speaker 2: is way above her age is being able to suss

553
00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:21,000
Speaker 2: that out and not being able to be taken off task.

554
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:27,600
Speaker 2: It's very impressive stuff for her age, Very impressive, very

555
00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:28,280
Speaker 2: good stuff.

556
00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:30,600
Speaker 3: More to get to on Sony Kats. This is Tony

557
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:31,200
Speaker 3: Kats today.

558
00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:33,040
Speaker 5: The President said yesterday.

559
00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:35,000
Speaker 10: That President Putin told him he wanted to be helpful

560
00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:35,840
Speaker 10: in the Middle East.

561
00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:38,320
Speaker 5: The Criminal have a statement for Putin's ad quote. I

562
00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:41,720
Speaker 5: would like to reaffirm our unwavering support for Tehran and

563
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:43,880
Speaker 5: our solidarity with Iranian friends.

564
00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:47,120
Speaker 10: How does the President think that Russia could be helpful

565
00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:51,160
Speaker 10: if not helping Iran. And did the President push Putin

566
00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:54,520
Speaker 10: on Russia sharing intelligence with Iran in this war.

567
00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:58,480
Speaker 6: The President and his Special Envoy Witkoff have both said that,

568
00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:00,920
Speaker 6: of course they've sent a message in Russia that if

569
00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:03,840
Speaker 6: that was taking place, it's not something they would be

570
00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:06,080
Speaker 6: happy with, and they hope that it is not taking place.

571
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:09,280
Speaker 6: As for further details about the discussions between these Tea leaders,

572
00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:11,840
Speaker 6: I'll leave it to the President to divulge any more

573
00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:14,520
Speaker 6: of that conversation, but he did confirm it yesterday and

574
00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:16,360
Speaker 6: provided you with a little bit of the background in

575
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:18,840
Speaker 6: his view and his perspective, as he always does.

576
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:23,080
Speaker 2: This is the White House Press Briefing Tony Katz, Tony

577
00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:25,240
Speaker 2: Katz today, good to be with you. A question was

578
00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:29,600
Speaker 2: asked during the break about what the President knew about

579
00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:33,320
Speaker 2: a shooting at a synagogue in Baltimore. We had not

580
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:39,080
Speaker 2: heard of this. This happened in the mid afternoon. Got

581
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:45,520
Speaker 2: reported a suspect at a Baltimore police officer injured, a

582
00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:52,120
Speaker 2: call for a burglary turning into a barricade situation. And

583
00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:56,520
Speaker 2: the address is that of something called the Good Israel

584
00:32:56,640 --> 00:33:02,680
Speaker 2: of Baltimore's synagogue I do not know anything not surprising

585
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:05,520
Speaker 2: about this.

586
00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:09,280
Speaker 3: This synagogue, type.

587
00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:14,000
Speaker 2: Of a type of synagogue it is? Is it reform? Conservative?

588
00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:14,560
Speaker 3: Is it?

589
00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:20,800
Speaker 2: Or Orthodox? Don't don't, don't have the answer there. So

590
00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:25,360
Speaker 2: they heard a single gun shot this Uh. According to

591
00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:28,480
Speaker 2: witnesses who saw officers run, an officer was taken to

592
00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:34,400
Speaker 2: shock trauma, a condition currently unclear. UH.

593
00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:36,280
Speaker 3: Putting out on X.

594
00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:42,520
Speaker 2: Was the statement that the brave men and women in

595
00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:44,640
Speaker 2: Baltimore Police Department put their lives on the line every

596
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:46,840
Speaker 2: day to build a better, say for Baltimore. As the

597
00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:49,480
Speaker 2: situation develops, our hearts are with the officer, of their

598
00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:57,360
Speaker 2: family and the entire department. So one would assume that

599
00:33:57,400 --> 00:34:02,320
Speaker 2: if there is something more to this, we're going to

600
00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:07,120
Speaker 2: get that reporting sooner rather than later. The initial reaction

601
00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:11,319
Speaker 2: from anyone will be there's something more to this. I

602
00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:17,600
Speaker 2: don't know this. I have absolutely no idea. What was

603
00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:23,319
Speaker 2: What are the precipitating factors? What brought this to the

604
00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:25,600
Speaker 2: to the floor, to the foe.

605
00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:31,080
Speaker 3: No clue. I do not know as of yet.

606
00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:34,480
Speaker 2: We're gonna take a We're gonna get the information when

607
00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:39,560
Speaker 2: we do. Don't jump, don't don't. Oh, it's so easy

608
00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:41,480
Speaker 2: to do. It happened in a synagogue.

609
00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:42,400
Speaker 3: You know what this means?

610
00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:47,560
Speaker 2: Guys, every time I go to my synagogue, I know

611
00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:50,680
Speaker 2: it's possible. And as we have made the argument here,

612
00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:53,759
Speaker 2: many times you go to church, you know it's possible.

613
00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:57,000
Speaker 2: And every time there's a reporting of something like this,

614
00:34:57,200 --> 00:34:58,400
Speaker 2: we know what's possible.

615
00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:00,960
Speaker 3: I want talk about what is?

616
00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:06,560
Speaker 2: The minds can raise on what's possible. People get clicks

617
00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:09,000
Speaker 2: on what's possible. But we have a name for those people.

618
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:12,680
Speaker 2: We call them scumbacks. So let's not be the people

619
00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:14,800
Speaker 2: who engage in the what's possible.

620
00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:18,520
Speaker 3: Let's engage in the what is. This is what we

621
00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:20,840
Speaker 3: know right now, and I don't have it.

622
00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:24,400
Speaker 2: I don't have a single bit of information that shows

623
00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:28,480
Speaker 2: that this was targeted, that shows as involved people who

624
00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:29,359
Speaker 2: were Jewish?

625
00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:32,000
Speaker 3: Where the people in the synagogue. I don't have anything

626
00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:32,520
Speaker 3: about this.

627
00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:36,400
Speaker 2: Do I have to question whether or not there's bigotry

628
00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:42,360
Speaker 2: out there, whether there's anti semitism out there? Globally, Switzerland

629
00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:45,120
Speaker 2: saw a thirty nine percent, sorry, thirty six point nine

630
00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:48,280
Speaker 2: percent rise and online anti semitism at twenty twenty five alone.

631
00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:51,960
Speaker 3: We're all aware of that. Let's get information before we

632
00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:54,239
Speaker 3: start sharing subjects all.
