1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:03,280
Speaker 1: It's camp I am six forty and you're listening to

2
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:07,040
Speaker 1: the Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app.

3
00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:13,600
Speaker 2: Delilah Colden was only five years old in June twenty

4
00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:17,480
Speaker 2: twenty four when a eighteen wheel tractor trailer plowed into

5
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:21,919
Speaker 2: her stopped car traveling at sixty miles an hour or more.

6
00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:26,360
Speaker 2: The driver was an illegal Llen let in by Joe

7
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:30,360
Speaker 2: Biden and giving a commercial driver's license by Open Borders

8
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:35,960
Speaker 2: politicians in California. Doctor said Delilah would never be able

9
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:40,080
Speaker 2: to walk or talk, have a good life. She wouldn't

10
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 2: even be able to eat again. But against so odd,

11
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:46,040
Speaker 2: she is now in the first grade learning to walk,

12
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:49,920
Speaker 2: and she's here this evening with her dad, Marcus, a

13
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:54,280
Speaker 2: fantastic man. Delilah. Please, you are a great inspiration. Please

14
00:00:54,280 --> 00:01:28,760
Speaker 2: send her Thank you, Delilah. Many of that most illegal

15
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 2: aliens do not speak English and cannot read even the

16
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:36,319
Speaker 2: most basic road signs as to direction, speed, danger, or location.

17
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:40,480
Speaker 2: That's why tonight I'm calling on Congress to pass what

18
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 2: we will call the Delilah Law, barring any state from

19
00:01:44,240 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 2: granting commercial drivers' licenses to illegal aliens. And yesterday, as

20
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 2: you probably saw at the White House, I hosted a

21
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 2: ceremony with Americans who lost their treasured loved ones to

22
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 2: the scourge of illegal immigration. People came into our country.

23
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 2: How we allowed this to happen with our open borders.

24
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 2: These are the angel moms and families that for decades

25
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 2: our government betrayed and our media totally ignored, totally, and

26
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 2: it was terrible hard to believe. Actually, in twenty twenty

27
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 2: three or sixteen year old high school cheerleader named Elizabeth

28
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 2: Medina was supposed to perform in her town's Christmas parade,

29
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 2: but she never arrived. Her mother, Jacqueline, went home to

30
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:46,799
Speaker 2: look for her, and she found her lying dead in

31
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 2: a bathtub, bleeding profusely after being stabbed twenty five times.

32
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 2: Lizabeth's killer was a previously arrested illegal alien who had

33
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 2: broken in and brooded. We are just brutally extinguished the

34
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:09,919
Speaker 2: brightest light in her family's life, violently and viciously. Her

35
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 2: heartbroken mother is in the gallery to remind everyone in

36
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 2: this chamber exactly why we are deporting illegal alien criminals

37
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 2: country at record numbers, and we're getting them the hell

38
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 2: out of here fast. We don't want to.

39
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 1: This is K and K st HD two Los Angeles,

40
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 1: Orange County.

41
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 2: Thank you very much. Jacqueline, thank you. We can never

42
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 2: forget that many in this room not only allowed the

43
00:03:56,080 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 2: border invasion to happen before I got involved, but indeed

44
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 2: they would do it all over again if they ever

45
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 2: had the chance, if they ever got elected, they would

46
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 2: open up those borders to some of the worst criminals

47
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 2: anywhere in the world. The only thing standing between Americans

48
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 2: and a wide open border right now is President Donald J.

49
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 2: Trump and our great Republican patriots in Congress.

50
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 3: Thank you, thank you.

51
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:37,360
Speaker 2: As we speak, Democrats in this chamber have cut off

52
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:40,839
Speaker 2: all funding for the Department of Homeland secured will cut

53
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 2: off to cut off, they have instituted another Democrats shutdown

54
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 2: the first one, costing US two points on GDP. Two

55
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 2: points we lost on GDP, which probably made them quite happy. Actually,

56
00:04:56,680 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 2: now they have closed the agency responsible for protecting Americans

57
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 2: from terrorists and murderers. Tonight, I'm demanding the full and

58
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 2: immediate restoration of all funding for the border security, homeland

59
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 2: security of the United States, and also for helping people

60
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 2: clean up their snow. We have no money because of

61
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,839
Speaker 2: the Democrats, and it would be nice. We'd love to

62
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:23,599
Speaker 2: give you a hand to clean it up, but you

63
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 2: gave no money. Nobody's getting paid. It's a shame, So

64
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 2: you have to think about it. We have in case

65
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:32,720
Speaker 2: you did a pretty large snowstorm out there. One of

66
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,719
Speaker 2: the great things about the State of the Union is

67
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 2: how it gives Americans the chance to see clearly what

68
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:44,920
Speaker 2: their representatives really believe. So tonight I'm inviting every legislature

69
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:49,279
Speaker 2: to join with my administration and reaffirming a fundamental principle.

70
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:53,280
Speaker 2: If you agree with this statement, then stand up and

71
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:58,359
Speaker 2: show your support. The first duty of the American government

72
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:02,160
Speaker 2: is to protect Americans citizens, not a legal errand.

73
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 4: In't not a shame.

74
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 2: You should be ashamed of yourself. Not saving us, You

75
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:01,680
Speaker 2: should be ashamed of yourself. That is why I'm also

76
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 2: asking you to end deadly sanctuary cities that protect the

77
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 2: criminals and enact serious penalties for public officials.

78
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 4: Who block the removal of criminal aliens.

79
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:17,960
Speaker 5: In many cases, drug lords, murderers all over our country.

80
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 4: They're blocking the removal.

81
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 5: Of these people out of our country, and you should

82
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:55,319
Speaker 5: be ashamed of yourself. And perhaps most importantly, I'm asking

83
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 5: you to approve the.

84
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:58,839
Speaker 4: Save America Act.

85
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:10,080
Speaker 6: To stop illegal aliens and others.

86
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:16,960
Speaker 2: Were unpermitted persons from voting in our sacred American elections.

87
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:21,959
Speaker 2: That cheating is rampant in our elections. It's rampant. It's

88
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 2: very simple. All voters must show voter ID or voters

89
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 2: might show proof of citizenship in order to vote.

90
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 4: And no more cricket.

91
00:09:56,920 --> 00:10:06,400
Speaker 2: Mail in balance except for illness, discipline, military, or travel. None.

92
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:08,959
Speaker 4: And this should be an easy one.

93
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 5: And by the way, it's polling at eighty nine percent,

94
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:13,880
Speaker 5: including Democrats eighty nine percent.

95
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 4: And even the new content is Mayor of New York City.

96
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 2: I think he's a nice guy. Actually speak to the milan.

97
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:32,560
Speaker 2: They had policy, but nice guy just said. They want

98
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:37,559
Speaker 2: people to shovel snow. They got hit hard. Want them

99
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:40,480
Speaker 2: to shovel snow. But if you apply for that job,

100
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:43,319
Speaker 2: you need to show two original forms of idea and

101
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:49,320
Speaker 2: a Social Security card. Yet they don't want identification for

102
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:52,320
Speaker 2: the greatest privilege of them all voting in America.

103
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:55,360
Speaker 4: Now, it's no good, no good.

104
00:10:55,600 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 2: Both Republicans and Democrats overwhelmingly agree on the see that

105
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 2: we just enunciated, and Congress should unite and enact this

106
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 2: common sense country saving legislation right now.

107
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:14,320
Speaker 4: And it should be before anything else happens.

108
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:37,160
Speaker 2: And the reason they don't want to do it, why

109
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:40,679
Speaker 2: would anybody not one voter? ID one reason? Because they

110
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:44,480
Speaker 2: want to cheat. There's only one reason. They make up

111
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:48,679
Speaker 2: all excuses. They say it's racist, They come up with things.

112
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:50,680
Speaker 2: You almost say, what imagination they have?

113
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 4: They want to cheat.

114
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:55,560
Speaker 2: They have cheated, and their policy is so bad that

115
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:58,199
Speaker 2: the only way they can get elected is to cheat.

116
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 6: And we're going to stop it. Have to stop it, John,

117
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:14,680
Speaker 6: And here is one.

118
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:19,320
Speaker 2: More opportunity to show common sense in government. In the

119
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:24,440
Speaker 2: gallery tonight, our Sage Blair and her mother Michelle. In

120
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 2: twenty twenty one, Sage was fourteen when school officials in

121
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:33,720
Speaker 2: Virginia sought to socially transition her to a new gender,

122
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 2: treating her as a boy and hiding it from her parents.

123
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:42,120
Speaker 2: Hard to believe, isn't it. Before long, a confused Sage

124
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:46,320
Speaker 2: ran away from home after she was found in a

125
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 2: horrific situation in Maryland, a left wing judge refused to

126
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:55,439
Speaker 2: return Sage to her parents because they did not immediately

127
00:12:55,520 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 2: state that their daughter was their son. Was thrown into

128
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:04,880
Speaker 2: an all boys, stayed home and suffered terribly for a

129
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 2: long time. But today all of that is behind them,

130
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 2: because Sage is a proud and wonderful young woman with

131
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 2: a full ride scholarship to Liberty University.

132
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:18,960
Speaker 6: Sage and Michelle, please send up.

133
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 4: And thank you for your great bravery. And who can believe.

134
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:47,560
Speaker 2: That we're even speaking about things like this fifteen years ago?

135
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:50,320
Speaker 2: If somebody was up here and said that this a

136
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:53,720
Speaker 2: what's wrong with him? And now we have to say

137
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 2: it because it's going on all over numerous states without

138
00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:01,439
Speaker 2: even telling the parents. Surely we can all agree no

139
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:04,920
Speaker 2: state can be allowed to rip children from their parents'

140
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 2: arms and transition them to a new gender against the parents.

141
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 2: Will who would believe that we've been talking about We.

142
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:15,520
Speaker 6: Must ban it, and we must span it immediately.

143
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 2: Of course nobody sends up. These people are crazy.

144
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 7: I'm telling you, they're crazy, lazy, tell them.

145
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 2: Boy boy, We're lucky we have a country with people

146
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 2: like this. Democrats are destroying our country. But we've stopped

147
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 2: it just in the nick of time, didn't we have.

148
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:10,400
Speaker 8: You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI

149
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 8: AM six forty.

150
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:16,520
Speaker 2: No one cares more about protecting America's youth than our

151
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 2: wonderful First Lady now a movie star. It's a movie star.

152
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 2: Can you believe it?

153
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:23,600
Speaker 4: Who would?

154
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 2: I believe that.

155
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 4: Over the past year she.

156
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:31,880
Speaker 2: Has had an incredible impact, championing AI legislation, advancing a

157
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 2: landmark executive order or enforced the care and helping secure

158
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 2: thirty million dollars to launch the Milania Trump Forster Youth

159
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:45,440
Speaker 2: to Independence Initiative. It's a tremendous really a tremendous thing

160
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:48,840
Speaker 2: that happened and had a lot of bipartisan support. She

161
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 2: gets much better bipartisan support than I do. I get none,

162
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 2: she gets a lot. Someday you're gonna have to tell

163
00:15:56,400 --> 00:16:00,720
Speaker 2: me how you did that. And students and educators in

164
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 2: every state have joined the First Lady's efforts in the

165
00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 2: Presidential AI Challenge, keeping America's next generation position to succeed

166
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 2: and strongly succeed in the future. Tonight we welcome two

167
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 2: young people whose lives reflect the First Lady's impact, Sierra

168
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 2: Burns and Everest Nevermunt. Thank you both in Melania. Thank

169
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:27,040
Speaker 2: you are now hard you are trying to thank you. Tom.

170
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 2: I'm very proud to say that during my time in office,

171
00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 2: both the first four years and in particular this last year,

172
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:04,640
Speaker 2: there has been a tremendous renewal in religion, faith, Christianity,

173
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:22,560
Speaker 2: and belief in God. Commendous remain. This is especially true

174
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:25,520
Speaker 2: among young people, and a big part of that had

175
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 2: to do with my great friend Charlie Kirk, you great,

176
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 2: great man. So last year Charlie was violently murdered by

177
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:50,280
Speaker 2: an assassin and martyred, really martyred for his beliefs. His

178
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:54,240
Speaker 2: wonderful wife, Erica, is with us tonight. Erica, please stand.

179
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:15,720
Speaker 4: Thank you.

180
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:20,480
Speaker 2: Erica been through a lot in Charlie's memory. We must

181
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:24,560
Speaker 2: all come together to reaffirm that America is one nation

182
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:29,120
Speaker 2: under God, and we must totally reject political violence of

183
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:45,639
Speaker 2: any kind. We love religion and we love bringing it back,

184
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 2: and it's coming back at levels that nobody actually thought possible.

185
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:53,080
Speaker 2: It's really a beautiful thing to see. Above all, at

186
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:57,520
Speaker 2: leashing America's promise requires keeping our community safe. We have

187
00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 2: made incredible strides, yet dangerous pete offenders continued to be

188
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:07,720
Speaker 2: released by pro crime Democrat politicians again and again. We

189
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:11,800
Speaker 2: are honored to be joined tonight by a woman who's

190
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:16,359
Speaker 2: been through hell, Anya Zurutzka. In twenty twenty two, she

191
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 2: and her beautiful daughter, so beautiful, What a beautiful young woman.

192
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:26,399
Speaker 2: Irena fled war turned war torn Ukraine to live with

193
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:31,080
Speaker 2: relatives near Charlotte, North Carolina. And by the way, what's

194
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:34,920
Speaker 2: going on with Charlotte? Last summer, twenty three year old

195
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:39,160
Speaker 2: Irena was riding home on the train when a deranged

196
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:43,040
Speaker 2: monster who had been arrested over a dozen times and

197
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:47,400
Speaker 2: was released through no cash bail, stood up and viciously

198
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 2: slashed a knife through her neck and body. No one

199
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:55,879
Speaker 2: will ever forget there were people on that train. No

200
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:59,639
Speaker 2: one will ever forget the expression of terror on IRENA's

201
00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:02,399
Speaker 2: face as she looked up at her attacker in the

202
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:06,360
Speaker 2: last seconds of her life. She died instantly. She had

203
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 2: escaped a brutal war, only to be slain by a

204
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:13,239
Speaker 2: hardened criminal set free to kill in America, came in

205
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:18,760
Speaker 2: through open borders. Missus Zaretska, Tonight, I promise you we

206
00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:46,280
Speaker 2: will insure justice for your magnificent daughter, Irena. How do

207
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:49,800
Speaker 2: you not stand? How do you not stand? I'm asking

208
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 2: this Congress to pass tough legislation to ensure that violent

209
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 2: and dangerous repeat offenders are put behind bars, and importantly

210
00:20:57,359 --> 00:20:58,320
Speaker 2: that they stay there.

211
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 6: Starting last summer.

212
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:18,720
Speaker 2: I deployed our National Guard and federal law enforcement to

213
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:24,440
Speaker 2: restore law and order to our most dangerous cities, including Memphis,

214
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:31,040
Speaker 2: Tennessee big success, New Orleans, Louisiana, big success, And our

215
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:35,560
Speaker 2: nation's capital itself, Washington, d C. Where we have almost

216
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:38,199
Speaker 2: no crime anymore. In Washington, d C.

217
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:39,359
Speaker 3: How did that happen?

218
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:53,600
Speaker 9: In fact, crime in Washington is now at the lowest

219
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:57,920
Speaker 9: level ever recorded, and murders in DC this January we're

220
00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 9: down close to one hundred percent from.

221
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:02,760
Speaker 4: A year ago.

222
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:18,159
Speaker 2: I don't like to hear that one of the sick people.

223
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:22,200
Speaker 2: One of the brave service members who helped achieve this

224
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:27,000
Speaker 2: studying turnaround was twenty year old West Virginia Army National

225
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:32,439
Speaker 2: Guard specialist Sarah Bestrom. After a four month deployment, she

226
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 2: voluntarily extended her service and her rank was going to

227
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:40,080
Speaker 2: be lifted. She was doing so well. They were so

228
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:43,680
Speaker 2: proud of her. But the very next day she was

229
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:47,520
Speaker 2: on patrol near the White House when she was ambushed

230
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:51,639
Speaker 2: and shot in the head by a terrorist. Monster from Afghanistan.

231
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:55,800
Speaker 2: Shouldn't have been in our country, and all because she

232
00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:59,359
Speaker 2: wore the uniform of our nation. She was shot. He

233
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:03,280
Speaker 2: traveled her because he didn't like people wearing our uniform.

234
00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:06,640
Speaker 2: He was sick and deranged, shouldn't have been in our country.

235
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:11,560
Speaker 2: Sarah Bestrom died in order to defend our capital, and

236
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:14,760
Speaker 2: we are honored to be joined by her wonderful parents,

237
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:20,160
Speaker 2: Gary and Evili. Your daughter was a true American patriot

238
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:22,719
Speaker 2: and she will be greatly miss She was a great person.

239
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:24,000
Speaker 2: I saw reports on her.

240
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:48,200
Speaker 10: They'd never seen anything like her.

241
00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:51,880
Speaker 3: So sorry, thank you very much.

242
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:54,480
Speaker 4: A great young lady.

243
00:23:54,880 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 2: Reports they were like perfect. He was perfect. Serving alongside

244
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:04,879
Speaker 2: Sarah that day was staff Sergeant Andrew Wolf. The terrorist

245
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:07,879
Speaker 2: shot Andrew in the head, and no one thought he

246
00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:11,600
Speaker 2: could possibly make it. The two of them, Sarah and

247
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:16,920
Speaker 2: They both shot violently in the head. Neither was expected

248
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:20,000
Speaker 2: to make it. They weren't even given a chance except

249
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 2: his wonderful mother named Melody, who I spoke to the

250
00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:30,280
Speaker 2: same night, and she was so positive. The doctors thought

251
00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:33,800
Speaker 2: that Andrew was gone, but his mother said, no, no,

252
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:36,400
Speaker 2: mister President, Andrew will be fine. He's going to make it.

253
00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:39,600
Speaker 2: I've never seen anything like it. I mean, he was

254
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:44,000
Speaker 2: given almost no chance. She said, I have no doubt, sir,

255
00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:47,480
Speaker 2: he's going to be okay. This was a conversation that

256
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:50,800
Speaker 2: I had with her that night, with her son laying

257
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:56,840
Speaker 2: helplessly in bed, blood all over everybody is praying. She said, sir,

258
00:24:57,280 --> 00:25:01,200
Speaker 2: he will be okay. The doctors didn't understand what she

259
00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:04,520
Speaker 2: was saying, and after looking at the results of the

260
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:08,239
Speaker 2: damage done, neither did I. She was so strong and

261
00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:12,920
Speaker 2: conclusive that even Andrew's great father felt she didn't really

262
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:14,879
Speaker 2: understand the gravity of the situation.

263
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:19,359
Speaker 4: But she turned out to be right, right, Melody, She

264
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:20,080
Speaker 4: turned out to.

265
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:58,440
Speaker 11: Be right.

266
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:04,680
Speaker 2: Amazing. Actually, I said, where does this woman come from?

267
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:04,760
Speaker 11: You?

268
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:09,120
Speaker 2: Most positive person I've ever met. With God's help, Andrew

269
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:12,720
Speaker 2: has battled back from the edge of death, and we're

270
00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:16,280
Speaker 2: talking about the edge of death on his way to

271
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:20,320
Speaker 2: a miraculous recovery. He's got a little work to do,

272
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:23,800
Speaker 2: but he's doing great. Nice to see he's a good

273
00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:27,760
Speaker 2: looking guy. Nice to see you. Thanks Andrew, Thank you

274
00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:28,560
Speaker 2: very much.

275
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:49,720
Speaker 4: So Andrew wanted you're up.

276
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:55,119
Speaker 2: Now, I'm going to ask a highly respected General James Seward,

277
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:59,200
Speaker 2: to present Staff Sergeant Andrew Wolf and the great family

278
00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:03,880
Speaker 2: of Sarah Beckstrom with the award created by our late

279
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:07,280
Speaker 2: Great President George Washington himself it's.

280
00:27:07,160 --> 00:28:00,879
Speaker 4: Called the Purple Heart. We love you all, love you.

281
00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:05,680
Speaker 2: We're proudly restoring safety for Americans at home, and we

282
00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:11,280
Speaker 2: are also restoring security for Americans abroad. Our country has

283
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:15,120
Speaker 2: never been stronger. My first ten months, I ended eight wars,

284
00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:23,879
Speaker 2: including Cambodia. Isn't it funny? And sick people? Cambodia, in Thailand,

285
00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:28,159
Speaker 2: Pakistan and India would have been a nuclear war. Thirty

286
00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:32,480
Speaker 2: five million people said the Prime Minister of Pakistan would

287
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:35,159
Speaker 2: have died if it were not from my involvement. Kosovo

288
00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:42,720
Speaker 2: and Serbia, Israel and Iran, Egypt and Ethiopia, Armenia and Azerbaijan,

289
00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:48,360
Speaker 2: the Congo and Rwanda, and of course the war in Gaza,

290
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:51,840
Speaker 2: which proceeds at a very low level. It's just about there.

291
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:56,440
Speaker 8: You're listening to Tim conwaytun You're on demand from KFI

Speaker 11: Pop.

298
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:53,640
Speaker 2: I like you. You know, Marko got one hundred percent

299
00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:56,800
Speaker 2: of the votes when he was in conformence. I think

300
00:29:56,800 --> 00:30:00,840
Speaker 2: our next one was about fifty four percent. And some

301
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:03,640
Speaker 2: of the Democrats are now saying, I can't believe we

302
00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:07,840
Speaker 2: approve that guy. And he said, it's an honor that

303
00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:10,440
Speaker 2: they feel that way. Right, Barco, you have done a

304
00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:12,840
Speaker 2: great job, great Secretary of State. I think he'll go

305
00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:14,040
Speaker 2: down as the best ever.

306
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:27,320
Speaker 4: Under the Seaspire.

307
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:31,600
Speaker 2: I negotiated every single hostage, both living and dead, has

308
00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:34,200
Speaker 2: been returned home. Can you believe that.

309
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:51,040
Speaker 8: You're listening to Tim conwayjun you're on demand from KFI

311
00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:56,120
Speaker 4: Nobody thought it was possible.

312
00:30:57,400 --> 00:31:01,360
Speaker 2: Nobody thought that was possible, both living and dead. In

313
00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:05,120
Speaker 2: those parents who had a dead son, their boy, they

314
00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:07,440
Speaker 2: always told me their boy. They wanted him as much

315
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:11,320
Speaker 2: as though he were living. It was an amazing period

316
00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:14,200
Speaker 2: of time, and they came back, and when we got

317
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:17,240
Speaker 2: all of the living hostages back, and many many before them.

318
00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:19,040
Speaker 2: But I always said, those last twenty are going to

319
00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:21,840
Speaker 2: be very tough. But we got many, many more hundreds.

320
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:25,320
Speaker 2: But I said, those last twenty are going to be tough.

321
00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:28,800
Speaker 2: We got him back, but we only got back fourteen

322
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:33,040
Speaker 2: or fifteen of the dead of the twenty eight. And

323
00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:37,560
Speaker 2: believe it or not. Hamas worked along with Israel, and

324
00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:40,760
Speaker 2: they dug and they dug and they dug. It's a

325
00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:45,000
Speaker 2: tough it's a tough thing to do, going through bodies

326
00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:50,520
Speaker 2: all over, passing up one hundred bodies sometimes for each

327
00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:55,840
Speaker 2: one that they found. Tough job. And they finally got

328
00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:59,080
Speaker 2: it back to twenty seven. And then Steve and Jared

329
00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:01,880
Speaker 2: they got it back to twenty They found all twenty eight.

330
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:04,160
Speaker 2: Nobody thought that was possible, but we did it. And

331
00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:09,840
Speaker 2: I remember the family of the twenty eighth. They were

332
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:13,760
Speaker 2: so grieved, but they were so happy, as happy as

333
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:17,560
Speaker 2: it's possible possible to be. They had their boy back.

334
00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:21,200
Speaker 2: The mother said, sir, we have our boy back. What

335
00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:23,239
Speaker 2: a period of time that was, but we got them

336
00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:25,760
Speaker 2: all back. So thank you both very much. Right there,

337
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:41,760
Speaker 2: and we're working very hard to end the Night War,

338
00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:45,719
Speaker 2: the killing and slaughter between Russia and Ukraine, where twenty

339
00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:49,400
Speaker 2: five thousand soldiers are dying each and every month. Think

340
00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:54,680
Speaker 2: of that, twenty five thousand soldiers are dying a month,

341
00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:58,760
Speaker 2: a war which would have never happened if I were president,

342
00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:02,640
Speaker 2: would have never happened. As president, I will make peace

343
00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:05,720
Speaker 2: wherever I can, but I will never hesitate to confront

344
00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:10,200
Speaker 2: threats to America wherever we must. That's why, in a

345
00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:16,520
Speaker 2: breakthrough operation last year, the United States military obliterated Iran's

346
00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:18,200
Speaker 2: nuclear weapons program with.

347
00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:20,440
Speaker 4: An attack on a radian soil known.

348
00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:22,960
Speaker 6: As Operation Midnight Hammer.

349
00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:38,840
Speaker 2: Good. For decades, it had been the policy of the

350
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:42,240
Speaker 2: United States never to allow around to obtain a nuclear

351
00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:47,720
Speaker 2: weapon many decades since they seized control of that proud

352
00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:51,400
Speaker 2: nation forty seven years ago, the regime and its murderous

353
00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:55,320
Speaker 2: proxies have spread nothing but terrorism and death and hate.

354
00:33:56,440 --> 00:34:00,240
Speaker 2: They've killed and maimed thousands of American service members and

355
00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:05,360
Speaker 2: hundreds of thousands and even millions of people with what's

356
00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:10,400
Speaker 2: called roadside bombs. They were the kings of the roadside bomb,

357
00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:14,279
Speaker 2: and we took out Solomony. I did that during my

358
00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:18,000
Speaker 2: first term, had a huge impact. Who was the father

359
00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:31,320
Speaker 2: of the roadside barb In just over the last couple

360
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:35,000
Speaker 2: of months, with the protests, they've killed that least that

361
00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:39,400
Speaker 2: looks like thirty two thousand protests. Thirty two thousand protesters

362
00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:44,160
Speaker 2: in their own country. They shot them and hung them.

363
00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:48,120
Speaker 2: We stopped them from hanging a lot of them with

364
00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:54,280
Speaker 2: the threat of serious violence. But this is some terrible people.

365
00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:59,000
Speaker 2: They've already developed missiles that can threaten Europe and our

366
00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:02,640
Speaker 2: bases overseas, and they're working to build missiles that will

367
00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:07,600
Speaker 2: soon reach the United States of America. After Midnight Hammer,

368
00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:12,240
Speaker 2: they were worn to make no future attempts to rebuild

369
00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:17,000
Speaker 2: their weapons program, in a particular nuclear weapons. Yet they

370
00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:20,880
Speaker 2: continue starting it all over. We wiped it out, and

371
00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:24,160
Speaker 2: they want to start all over again, and at this

372
00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:29,320
Speaker 2: moment again pursuing their sinister ambitions. We are in negotiations

373
00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:30,880
Speaker 2: with them. They want to make a deal, but we

374
00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:35,960
Speaker 2: haven't heard those secret words. We will never have a

375
00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:38,799
Speaker 2: nuclear weapon. My preference.

376
00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:56,719
Speaker 4: My preference is to solve.

377
00:35:56,440 --> 00:36:00,719
Speaker 2: This problem through diplomacy. But one thing is certain. I

378
00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:03,959
Speaker 2: will never allow the world's number one sponsor of terror,

379
00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:07,080
Speaker 2: which they are by far, to have a nuclear weapon.

380
00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:24,560
Speaker 2: Can't let that happen. And no nations should ever doubt

381
00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:29,439
Speaker 2: America's result. We have the most powerful military on Earth.

382
00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:33,319
Speaker 2: I rebuilt the military in my first term. We're going

383
00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:36,800
Speaker 2: to continue to do so also just to proved a

384
00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:39,200
Speaker 2: trillion dollar budget, we have no choice. We have to

385
00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:44,040
Speaker 2: be strong because hopefully we will seldom have to use

386
00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:48,600
Speaker 2: this great power that we built together. It's really called

387
00:36:48,719 --> 00:37:04,920
Speaker 2: peace through strength and has been very very effective. So

388
00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:09,800
Speaker 2: thanks to Republicans in Congress, we're investing that record number

389
00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:15,080
Speaker 2: of dollars, have no choice in the United States Armed Forces,

390
00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:18,040
Speaker 2: also creating a lot of jobs. But we're not even

391
00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:20,880
Speaker 2: doing it for that reason because, as I said, we

392
00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:23,840
Speaker 2: have more jobs, more people working today than ever before

393
00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:26,920
Speaker 2: in the history of our country. And NATO countries are

394
00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:29,279
Speaker 2: friends and allies. They are there are friends and there

395
00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:33,280
Speaker 2: are allies. Have just agreed, at my very strong request,

396
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:39,160
Speaker 2: to pay five percent of GDP for military defense, rather

397
00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:41,520
Speaker 2: than the two percent which they weren't paying. We were

398
00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:45,359
Speaker 2: paying for almost all of the Now they're paying five

399
00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:56,840
Speaker 2: as opposed to not pay for it. And getting that

400
00:37:56,920 --> 00:37:59,879
Speaker 2: five percent was something which everyone said would never be done,

401
00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:02,080
Speaker 2: could not happen. We got it really easily with one

402
00:38:02,120 --> 00:38:06,360
Speaker 2: meeting and a big difference between two percent that's not

403
00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:09,680
Speaker 2: paid we were paying afraid of many of them, very

404
00:38:09,719 --> 00:38:12,920
Speaker 2: few were paid up now five percent. Then they're paid.

405
00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:17,440
Speaker 2: And everything we send over to Ukraine is sent through

406
00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:20,640
Speaker 2: NATO and they pay us in full. They pay us

407
00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:25,279
Speaker 2: totally in full. Every branch of our armed forces is

408
00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:29,800
Speaker 2: setting records for recruitment This is so exciting. And every

409
00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:45,799
Speaker 2: service member recently and every service member recently received a

410
00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:51,640
Speaker 2: Warrior dividend of seventeen one hundred and seventy six dollars.

411
00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:02,600
Speaker 6: Here they paid on my desk.

412
00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:04,680
Speaker 2: We got the money from tariffs and other things. A

413
00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:06,560
Speaker 2: lot of money we have. We have much more money

414
00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:09,520
Speaker 2: than people understand. Have to rebuild that program a little bit,

415
00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:12,279
Speaker 2: but it won't take long. But we got the money,

416
00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:15,280
Speaker 2: and it was seventeen one hundred and seventy five dollars.

417
00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:19,080
Speaker 2: And they wanted my approval, and I said, what's the number.

418
00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:23,240
Speaker 2: Seventeen hundred and seventy five dollars. I said, wait a minute,

419
00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:26,160
Speaker 2: for one more dollar, we can have seventeen seventy six.

420
00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:28,759
Speaker 2: It's going to I said, we're going to figure that.

421
00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:30,879
Speaker 2: I never asked anybody if we could afford it. One

422
00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:34,600
Speaker 2: more dollar, I said, seventeen seventy six. And I said,

423
00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:36,680
Speaker 2: that's good. And I'll tell you what our military. That

424
00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:39,880
Speaker 2: was four months ago. Our military. I never see a

425
00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:42,120
Speaker 2: person in the military that doesn't thank before it, So

426
00:39:42,200 --> 00:39:45,600
Speaker 2: we're honored to do it. They deserve it. And said,

427
00:39:45,640 --> 00:39:48,719
Speaker 2: we call it seventeen seventy six. It was great, and

428
00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:52,040
Speaker 2: we love our military, We love our law enforcement. We

429
00:39:52,120 --> 00:39:54,839
Speaker 2: love our fireman. You know, the firemen don't get mentioned enough.

430
00:39:54,880 --> 00:40:14,560
Speaker 2: We love our firemen. We're also we're also reshawing American

431
00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:18,560
Speaker 2: security and dominance in the Western Hemisphere, acting to secure

432
00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:23,239
Speaker 2: our national interests and defend our country from violence, drugs, terrorism,

433
00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:28,319
Speaker 2: and foreign interference. For years, large swaths of territory in

434
00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:32,880
Speaker 2: our region, including large parts of Mexico, really large parts

435
00:40:32,920 --> 00:40:38,920
Speaker 2: of Mexico, have been controlled by murderous drug cartels. That's

436
00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:43,120
Speaker 2: why I designated these cartels as foreign terrorist organizations and

437
00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:48,880
Speaker 2: I declared illicit fentanyl as a weapon of mass destruction.

438
00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:03,520
Speaker 2: With our new military campaign, we have stopped record amounts

439
00:41:03,560 --> 00:41:06,640
Speaker 2: of drugs coming into our country and virtually stopped it

440
00:41:06,760 --> 00:41:10,040
Speaker 2: completely coming in by water or see. You probably noticed

441
00:41:10,040 --> 00:41:17,040
Speaker 2: that you very seriously damaged their fishing industry. Also, nobody

442
00:41:17,080 --> 00:41:21,680
Speaker 2: wants Nobody wants to go fishing anymore. We've also taken

443
00:41:21,719 --> 00:41:24,719
Speaker 2: down one of the most sinister cartel kingpins of all.

444
00:41:24,840 --> 00:41:39,080
Speaker 12: You saw that yesterday in January.

445
00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:45,840
Speaker 2: In January, elite American warriors carried out one of the

446
00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:51,239
Speaker 2: most complex, spectacular feats of military competence and power in

447
00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:54,320
Speaker 2: world history. No one's seen anything like it. Foreign leaders.

448
00:41:54,320 --> 00:41:56,200
Speaker 2: I won't tell you who called me, and they said

449
00:41:56,400 --> 00:41:57,279
Speaker 2: very impressive.

450
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:00,640
Speaker 4: Couldn't believe.

451
00:42:00,680 --> 00:42:04,279
Speaker 2: They all watched, they saw what happened. This is a

452
00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:07,640
Speaker 2: different fighting force that we had years ago when we

453
00:42:07,719 --> 00:42:11,440
Speaker 2: fought to tie. You know, it's a great fighting force.

454
00:42:11,480 --> 00:42:16,520
Speaker 2: I'm so proud of it. Look at space force, Space forces,

455
00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:20,160
Speaker 2: my baby. Because we did that, my baby, it's becoming

456
00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:43,440
Speaker 2: so important. An America's armed forces overwhelmed all defenses, that

457
00:42:43,600 --> 00:42:48,600
Speaker 2: utterly defeated a enemy, good fighters to end the reign

458
00:42:48,800 --> 00:42:52,680
Speaker 2: of outlaw dictator Nicholas Maduro and bring him to face

459
00:42:52,800 --> 00:43:06,279
Speaker 2: American justice. And this was an absolutely colossal victory for

460
00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:09,280
Speaker 2: the security of the United States. And it also opens

461
00:43:09,360 --> 00:43:13,200
Speaker 2: up a bright new beginning for the people of Venezuela.

462
00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:18,640
Speaker 2: We're working closely with the new President of Venezuela, Delsi Rodriguez,

463
00:43:18,640 --> 00:43:22,640
Speaker 2: to unleash extraordinary economic gains for both of our countries

464
00:43:22,680 --> 00:43:25,320
Speaker 2: and to bring new hope to those who have suffered

465
00:43:25,360 --> 00:43:29,040
Speaker 2: so terribly. They really did suffer with us. Tonight is

466
00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:34,640
Speaker 2: Alejandro Gonzalez. She grew up and it tight nit Venezuelan family,

467
00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:39,640
Speaker 2: and was especially close to her beloved uncle Enrique. But

468
00:43:39,719 --> 00:43:43,200
Speaker 2: after Enrique ran for office and opposed Maduro, he was

469
00:43:43,320 --> 00:43:46,960
Speaker 2: kidnapped by maduro security forces had thrown into the regimes

470
00:43:48,040 --> 00:43:53,560
Speaker 2: really infamous prison in Caracas. Alejandro feared she would never

471
00:43:53,880 --> 00:43:57,160
Speaker 2: see her uncle again. She feared for her own life also.

472
00:43:58,120 --> 00:44:00,600
Speaker 2: But since the raid, we have worked with the new

473
00:44:00,680 --> 00:44:03,600
Speaker 2: leadership and they are ordered the closure of that vile

474
00:44:03,680 --> 00:44:08,640
Speaker 2: prison and release hundreds of political prisoners already with more

475
00:44:08,680 --> 00:44:13,400
Speaker 2: to come. Alejandra, please to inform you that not only

476
00:44:13,440 --> 00:44:17,680
Speaker 2: has your uncle been released, but he is here tonight.

477
00:44:17,840 --> 00:44:20,400
Speaker 2: We brought him over to celebrate his feedom with you

478
00:44:20,520 --> 00:44:23,399
Speaker 2: in person. Enrique, please come down.

479
00:45:04,320 --> 00:45:08,040
Speaker 8: You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI

480
00:45:08,320 --> 00:45:09,320
Speaker 8: AM sixty.

481
00:45:11,560 --> 00:45:14,840
Speaker 2: Thank you and Rey K have a good time. Nice

482
00:45:14,840 --> 00:45:19,080
Speaker 2: to have you back in re k. There were many

483
00:45:19,120 --> 00:45:23,680
Speaker 2: heroes on that January raid to capture Maduro, really great heroes.

484
00:45:24,800 --> 00:45:27,279
Speaker 2: It was very dangerous. They knew we were coming, they

485
00:45:27,280 --> 00:45:30,560
Speaker 2: were all set. But the deeds of one warrior that

486
00:45:30,719 --> 00:45:35,720
Speaker 2: night will live forever in the eternal chronicles of military valor.

487
00:45:37,120 --> 00:45:42,920
Speaker 2: Chief Warrant Officer five Eric Slover planned the mission and

488
00:45:43,160 --> 00:45:47,759
Speaker 2: was the flight lead in the cockpit of the first helicopter,

489
00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:56,000
Speaker 2: a big, beautiful, powerful helicopter, was a massive Chirnook, carrying,

490
00:45:56,440 --> 00:46:02,560
Speaker 2: as you can imagine, many many American warfighters wearing the

491
00:46:02,640 --> 00:46:06,439
Speaker 2: dog tags. His wife, Amy had blessed with holy water

492
00:46:06,520 --> 00:46:08,440
Speaker 2: before he left. She knew it was going to be

493
00:46:08,480 --> 00:46:12,080
Speaker 2: a rough one. Eric steered the Chinook under the cover

494
00:46:12,160 --> 00:46:17,240
Speaker 2: of night and descended swiftly upon Madua's heavily protected military fortress.

495
00:46:17,280 --> 00:46:23,000
Speaker 2: This was a major military installation, protected by thousands of

496
00:46:23,040 --> 00:46:28,440
Speaker 2: soldiers and guarded by Russian and Chinese military technology. How

497
00:46:28,480 --> 00:46:34,400
Speaker 2: did that work out? Not tooko. While preparing to land,

498
00:46:34,560 --> 00:46:38,160
Speaker 2: enemy machine guns fired from every angle, and Eric was

499
00:46:38,239 --> 00:46:41,880
Speaker 2: hit very badly in the leg and hip, one bullet

500
00:46:41,960 --> 00:46:47,000
Speaker 2: after another. He absorbed four agonizing shots, shredding his leg

501
00:46:47,080 --> 00:46:52,200
Speaker 2: into numerous pieces. And yet, despite the fact that the

502
00:46:52,320 --> 00:46:56,320
Speaker 2: use of his legs was vital to successful helicopter flight,

503
00:46:57,560 --> 00:47:00,560
Speaker 2: Legs said the most important part of flying a helicopter

504
00:47:01,520 --> 00:47:06,160
Speaker 2: to deliver the many commanders who would capture and detain Maduro,

505
00:47:06,360 --> 00:47:10,800
Speaker 2: was the only thing Eric was thinking about then, even

506
00:47:10,840 --> 00:47:13,759
Speaker 2: as he was gushing blood, which was flowing back down

507
00:47:13,800 --> 00:47:18,000
Speaker 2: the aisle. Helicopter lands at a steep angle. The machine

508
00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:19,880
Speaker 2: guns stood right in front of him. They were right

509
00:47:19,960 --> 00:47:23,279
Speaker 2: in front of them, two machine gunners who escaped the

510
00:47:23,320 --> 00:47:28,319
Speaker 2: wrath of the previous planes. Eric maneuvered his helicopter with

511
00:47:28,400 --> 00:47:31,160
Speaker 2: all of those lives and souls to face the enemy

512
00:47:31,200 --> 00:47:35,320
Speaker 2: and let his gunners eliminate the threat. Turned the helicopter

513
00:47:35,440 --> 00:47:39,600
Speaker 2: around so the gunners could take care of business, saving

514
00:47:39,640 --> 00:47:42,040
Speaker 2: the lives of his fellow warriors from what could have

515
00:47:42,120 --> 00:47:48,080
Speaker 2: been a catastrophic crash deep in enemy territory. Only after

516
00:47:48,120 --> 00:47:52,560
Speaker 2: safely landing the helicopter with all the warriors aboard in

517
00:47:52,640 --> 00:47:55,600
Speaker 2: the exact right spot, which was vital to the mission,

518
00:47:55,920 --> 00:47:59,400
Speaker 2: probably would have had they'd be canceled the mission. If

519
00:47:59,400 --> 00:48:04,680
Speaker 2: that didn't have, Eric told his co pilot, also wounded

520
00:48:05,200 --> 00:48:10,520
Speaker 2: but not as gravely, to take over. I'm about ready

521
00:48:10,520 --> 00:48:14,560
Speaker 2: to pass out. The success of the entire mission and

522
00:48:14,600 --> 00:48:18,120
Speaker 2: the lives of his fellow warriors hinge and Eric's ability

523
00:48:18,200 --> 00:48:23,960
Speaker 2: to take searing pain. It was unbelievable. What's happened to

524
00:48:24,000 --> 00:48:28,960
Speaker 2: his legs of the bullets and keep on flying and landing,

525
00:48:29,120 --> 00:48:33,279
Speaker 2: and people knew what was happening. Everybody in the back

526
00:48:33,320 --> 00:48:36,120
Speaker 2: of the helicopter knew because they saw the blood pouring

527
00:48:36,160 --> 00:48:41,680
Speaker 2: down the aisle. Chief Warrant Officer Slover is still recovering

528
00:48:41,719 --> 00:48:44,920
Speaker 2: from his serious wounds, but I'm thrilled to say that

529
00:48:45,000 --> 00:48:49,360
Speaker 2: he is here tonight with his wife Amy. Eric and Amy,

530
00:48:49,520 --> 00:49:44,600
Speaker 2: come on in so we have a surprise for Eric

531
00:49:44,640 --> 00:49:49,120
Speaker 2: and Amy. In recognition of Eric's actions above and beyond

532
00:49:49,160 --> 00:49:53,040
Speaker 2: the call of duty, I would now like to ask

533
00:49:53,400 --> 00:50:00,359
Speaker 2: General Jonathan Braga to present Chief Warrant Officer Slover Lush

534
00:50:00,560 --> 00:50:05,880
Speaker 2: with our nation's highest military award, the Congressional Medal of Honor.

535
00:51:19,120 --> 00:51:21,840
Speaker 4: Well, thank you very much, Eric and Amy.

536
00:51:23,320 --> 00:51:25,359
Speaker 2: Great to get to know you. I met with them

537
00:51:25,400 --> 00:51:27,919
Speaker 2: and with a lot of their fellow warriors at Fort

538
00:51:27,960 --> 00:51:31,080
Speaker 2: Bragg recently. They know it is the name Fort Bragg.

539
00:51:31,120 --> 00:51:33,080
Speaker 2: We have it back. We brought it back. We won

540
00:51:33,160 --> 00:51:35,840
Speaker 2: the First World War winder, the Second World War waged,

541
00:51:35,960 --> 00:51:36,319
Speaker 2: and then.

542
00:51:36,239 --> 00:51:37,680
Speaker 6: They decided to change your name.

543
00:51:38,520 --> 00:51:39,839
Speaker 4: But we've changed it back.

544
00:51:41,400 --> 00:51:45,160
Speaker 2: Everybody wanted to change back too. An ten of Eric's

545
00:51:45,320 --> 00:51:49,960
Speaker 2: fellow warriors from that incredible night of victory will also

546
00:51:50,080 --> 00:51:53,120
Speaker 2: be receiving medals at a private ceremony that will soon

547
00:51:53,160 --> 00:51:56,239
Speaker 2: be held at the White House, and Eric will do that.

548
00:52:20,080 --> 00:52:23,200
Speaker 2: Thank you. That's a big one.

549
00:52:23,920 --> 00:52:24,239
Speaker 4: The night.

550
00:52:24,320 --> 00:52:28,719
Speaker 2: We've celebrated many truly extraordinary American patriots, but there is

551
00:52:28,800 --> 00:52:32,400
Speaker 2: one last living legend to honor before we go. He

552
00:52:32,600 --> 00:52:39,160
Speaker 2: is one more heroic American aviator. Navy fighter pilot. Royce

553
00:52:39,200 --> 00:52:43,839
Speaker 2: Williams served in World War two Korea Vietnam, flying more

554
00:52:43,880 --> 00:52:48,360
Speaker 2: than two hundred and twenty missions in disguise. Over Korean

555
00:52:48,480 --> 00:52:53,680
Speaker 2: nineteen fifty two, Royce was in the dog fight of

556
00:52:53,719 --> 00:52:58,799
Speaker 2: a lifetime legendary dog fight. Flying through blizzard conditions, his

557
00:52:58,920 --> 00:53:03,120
Speaker 2: squadron was ambling by seven Soviet fighter planes. There was

558
00:53:03,160 --> 00:53:05,799
Speaker 2: his first aerial combat of the war, and despite being

559
00:53:05,840 --> 00:53:09,879
Speaker 2: massively outnumbered and outgunned, Royce led the takedown of four

560
00:53:10,080 --> 00:53:15,440
Speaker 2: enemy jets and almost destroyed the others, vanquishing his adversaries

561
00:53:15,480 --> 00:53:19,400
Speaker 2: while taking two hundred and sixty three bullets to his

562
00:53:19,480 --> 00:53:24,160
Speaker 2: own plane and being seriously hurt. His story was secret

563
00:53:24,200 --> 00:53:26,560
Speaker 2: for over fifty years. He didn't even want to tell

564
00:53:26,600 --> 00:53:30,840
Speaker 2: his wife. But the legend grew and grew. But tonight,

565
00:53:30,960 --> 00:53:35,279
Speaker 2: at one hundred years old, this brave Navy captain is

566
00:53:35,320 --> 00:53:40,520
Speaker 2: finally getting the recognition he deserves. He was allegend long

567
00:53:40,600 --> 00:53:44,600
Speaker 2: before this evening. Royce, please stand up and I will

568
00:53:44,640 --> 00:53:48,120
Speaker 2: ask the First Lady of the United States to present

569
00:53:48,200 --> 00:53:51,520
Speaker 2: Captain Royce Williams with his Congressional.

570
00:53:50,880 --> 00:53:51,880
Speaker 4: Medal of Honor.

571
00:56:01,960 --> 00:56:03,000
Speaker 2: J voice and thank you.

572
00:56:03,160 --> 00:56:03,359
Speaker 11: Eric.

573
00:56:04,640 --> 00:56:07,680
Speaker 2: I've always wanted the Congressional Medal of Honor, but I

574
00:56:07,719 --> 00:56:09,840
Speaker 2: was informed I'm not allowed to give it to myself,

575
00:56:09,880 --> 00:56:11,799
Speaker 2: and I wouldn't know why i'd be taking it. But

576
00:56:12,760 --> 00:56:14,759
Speaker 2: if they ever opened up that law, I will be

577
00:56:14,840 --> 00:56:19,319
Speaker 2: there with you someday. But you know, that's our highest honor,

578
00:56:19,400 --> 00:56:21,680
Speaker 2: Congressional Medal of Honor, and that's a big thing, and

579
00:56:22,239 --> 00:56:24,239
Speaker 2: it's an honor to be in the same room with you.

580
00:56:24,520 --> 00:56:26,759
Speaker 2: Thank you both very much, Eric, thank you.

581
00:56:44,719 --> 00:56:45,080
Speaker 6: Thank you.

582
00:56:47,200 --> 00:56:49,840
Speaker 2: Two hundred and fifty years is a long time in

583
00:56:49,920 --> 00:56:53,120
Speaker 2: the life of a nation, but in other sense, it's

584
00:56:53,160 --> 00:56:56,920
Speaker 2: really a mere moment in the eye of history. Two

585
00:56:56,960 --> 00:56:59,680
Speaker 2: of the gentlemen we met in the gallery this evening

586
00:56:59,719 --> 00:57:04,400
Speaker 2: took their first breaths one century ago. One hundred years

587
00:57:04,440 --> 00:57:09,160
Speaker 2: before that, on July fourth, eighteen twenty six, the author

588
00:57:09,239 --> 00:57:15,239
Speaker 2: of the Declaration of Independence, brilliant Thomas Jefferson, through his

589
00:57:15,560 --> 00:57:20,480
Speaker 2: last breath. Just a single long human lifespan separates the

590
00:57:20,600 --> 00:57:24,760
Speaker 2: giants who declared and won our independence from the heroes

591
00:57:24,800 --> 00:57:28,800
Speaker 2: who stand among us tonight. Everything our nation has done,

592
00:57:28,880 --> 00:57:31,919
Speaker 2: everything we have achieved, has been the work of those

593
00:57:31,960 --> 00:57:36,720
Speaker 2: few great lifetimes and those brief chapters. Americans built this

594
00:57:36,920 --> 00:57:41,840
Speaker 2: nation from thirteen humble colonies into the pinnacle of human

595
00:57:41,920 --> 00:57:46,880
Speaker 2: civilization and human freedom. The strongest, wealthiest, most powerful, most

596
00:57:46,920 --> 00:57:52,280
Speaker 2: successful nation in all of history. Americans ventured out across

597
00:57:52,360 --> 00:57:57,480
Speaker 2: the daunting and dangerous continent. We carved pass through an

598
00:57:57,640 --> 00:58:03,160
Speaker 2: unforgiving wilderness, settled a boundless frontier, and tamed the beautiful

599
00:58:03,240 --> 00:58:09,560
Speaker 2: but very, very dangerous wild West. From empty marshes and

600
00:58:09,640 --> 00:58:15,080
Speaker 2: wide open plains, we raised up the world's greatest cities. Together,

601
00:58:15,160 --> 00:58:21,040
Speaker 2: we mastered the world's mightiest industries, shattered histories monstrous tyrannies,

602
00:58:22,040 --> 00:58:26,960
Speaker 2: and we liberated millions from the chains of fascism, communism, oppression,

603
00:58:27,040 --> 00:58:31,280
Speaker 2: and terror. Americans lifted humanity into the skies on the

604
00:58:31,320 --> 00:58:35,480
Speaker 2: wings of aluminum and steel. And then we launched mankind

605
00:58:35,560 --> 00:58:39,880
Speaker 2: into the stars on rockets powered by sheer American will

606
00:58:40,000 --> 00:58:46,400
Speaker 2: and unyielding American pride. We wired the lobe with our ingenuity,

607
00:58:47,040 --> 00:58:51,640
Speaker 2: We captivated the planet with American culture, and now we

608
00:58:51,680 --> 00:58:55,880
Speaker 2: are pioneering the next great American breakthroughs that will change

609
00:58:56,520 --> 00:59:00,520
Speaker 2: the entire world. All of this and so much more

610
00:59:00,640 --> 00:59:05,360
Speaker 2: is the enduring legacy, unmatched glory of the hard working

611
00:59:05,440 --> 00:59:09,520
Speaker 2: patriots who built and defended this country, and who still

612
00:59:09,560 --> 00:59:14,680
Speaker 2: carry the hopes and freedoms on all of humanity's backs.

613
00:59:15,240 --> 00:59:19,520
Speaker 2: For years, they were forgotten, betrayed, and cast aside. But

614
00:59:19,640 --> 00:59:22,160
Speaker 2: that great betrayal is over and they will never be

615
00:59:22,240 --> 00:59:26,760
Speaker 2: forgotten again. Because when the world needs courage, daring, vision,

616
00:59:26,880 --> 00:59:32,040
Speaker 2: and inspiration, it is still turning to America. And when

617
00:59:32,120 --> 00:59:36,360
Speaker 2: God needs a nation to work his miracles, he knows

618
00:59:36,480 --> 00:59:42,360
Speaker 2: exactly who to ask. There is no challenge Americans cannot overcome,

619
00:59:43,040 --> 00:59:47,120
Speaker 2: no frontier too vast for us to conquer, no dream

620
00:59:47,200 --> 00:59:51,680
Speaker 2: too bold for us to chase, no horizon too distant

621
00:59:51,760 --> 00:59:55,400
Speaker 2: for us to claim. For our destiny is written by

622
00:59:55,520 --> 00:59:59,520
Speaker 2: the hand of Providence, and these first two hundred and

623
00:59:59,520 --> 01:00:04,160
Speaker 2: fifty years were just the beginning. From the rugged border

624
01:00:04,200 --> 01:00:08,600
