1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,960
Speaker 1: I am against the war in Iran, as an anti

2
00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:09,480
Speaker 1: war conservative, as an America First conservative. In good conscience,

3
00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:14,480
Speaker 1: I cannot support this bombing campaign by Donald Trump, the

4
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:19,880
Speaker 1: United States obviously, and bb NET Nyahu and Israel. Now,

5
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:23,400
Speaker 1: to be fair, so far, it has been a spectacular

6
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:28,440
Speaker 1: military operation. They have taken out the supreme leader Ali Hamani,

7
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:32,680
Speaker 1: who is clearly an Islamist monster and a mass murderer.

8
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:35,960
Speaker 1: I shed no tears for him, and I shed no

9
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:39,319
Speaker 1: tears for all of the top leaders that have been

10
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 1: taken out over the last seventy two hours of intense bombing,

11
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:49,160
Speaker 1: missile and airstrikes, and they have hit over a thousand targets.

12
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:53,479
Speaker 1: They are smashing the regime to pieces. And do I

13
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:57,520
Speaker 1: sympathize with the Iranian people, of course? Would I like

14
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 1: to see the Ayatola's gone, of course? Would I like

15
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 1: to see a new dawn and a new era in Iran?

16
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 2: Of course?

17
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 1: But my friends, I hate to be the skunk at

18
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 1: the party, but somebody has to say it. We are

19
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 1: now about forty trillion dollars in debt.

20
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:20,400
Speaker 2: We're broke, We're bankrupt.

21
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 1: This is gonna cost us trillions of more dollars that

22
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 1: we don't have money that we're gonna have to now

23
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:32,840
Speaker 1: outsource to China and other countries will be buying up

24
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:36,679
Speaker 1: our tea bills and our debt. But even more than that,

25
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:43,480
Speaker 1: our cities are dying. We've been overrun by twenty million

26
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:46,959
Speaker 1: illegal aliens and we're unable to get them out of

27
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 1: many blue states and blue districts. Just look at Minneapolis.

28
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 1: We have a decrepit infrastructure. We have an affordability crisis

29
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 1: that is breaking the back of the middle and working

30
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 1: class people are living check to check. Credit card debt

31
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 1: is at an all time high. Fentanyl continues to plague

32
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 1: our nation. In other words, our border is still broken.

33
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 1: We have twenty to thirty million illegals, Our welfare system

34
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 1: is straining to the breaking point. We have not tamed inflation.

35
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,360
Speaker 1: And my friends, I'm just touching on all of the

36
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 1: problems that we face as a country. And so why

37
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 1: did I vote for Donald Trump a third time? Why

38
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,520
Speaker 1: was I one of the founding members of MAGA and

39
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 1: America first? Because I believe in no new wars and

40
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:53,079
Speaker 1: President Trump promised us no new wars, and here we

41
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:57,920
Speaker 1: are with another war, a war now we're not talking

42
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:01,640
Speaker 1: Iraq with twenty five million people. We are talking now

43
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:07,520
Speaker 1: ninety two million people, a huge, diverse country with a

44
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 1: much more sophisticated technology and military than Saddam Hussein ever possessed,

45
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 1: and also a country that lies right beside the Strait

46
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 1: of Hormuz, where twenty percent of the world's oil and

47
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 1: petroleum goes through on a daily basis.

48
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 2: Have we thought this thing through.

49
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 1: Let's say we beat the Mullahs and the regime is

50
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 1: toppled quickly, surgically, with minimal loss of American life, and

51
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 1: then what who will fill the vacuum? The prince, the

52
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 1: son of the Shah. There are still millions and millions.

53
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 2: Of hardcore Islanis who.

54
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 1: Revile him, and they will wage civil civil war as

55
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 1: you saw in Iraq after the downfall of Saddam.

56
00:03:58,120 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 2: Even many in the opposition to.

57
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 1: Thes are hardcore secular republicans who despise the monarchy and

58
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 1: everything the Shaw stands for. My point being, the opposition

59
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 1: is fragmented. There are still many loyalists to the regime.

60
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 1: If we push the regime and they and topple them,

61
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 1: what comes after? Have we even thought of that this

62
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 1: could lead to millions of migrants pouring across the borders,

63
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 1: destabilizing the entire region, destabilizing Europe.

64
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:35,719
Speaker 2: This could lead.

65
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 1: Very easily to the Strait of Hormuz being completely blocked

66
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:44,360
Speaker 1: and choked off, which will send shock waves shock prices

67
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 1: in the global oil markets. Oil is already now at

68
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:50,719
Speaker 1: eighty bucks a barrel. It's going to go up to

69
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:54,159
Speaker 1: one ten, one twenty, even one forty if this war

70
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:59,160
Speaker 1: continues for another couple of weeks. This means inflation will

71
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:05,279
Speaker 1: skyrocket again. It will derail Trump's domestic agenda. The war

72
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 1: will consume his presidency, and suddenly, as more Americans come

73
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 1: home in body bags, the anti war opposition will grow

74
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 1: against him. And I'm not even talking about the possibility

75
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 1: of domestic terrorist attacks here with a Hezbolla sleeper cells

76
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 1: being activated, and of course our consulates, our bases, our

77
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:32,479
Speaker 1: embassies under threat across the entire Middle East.

78
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:38,160
Speaker 2: This is an unnecessary war. It was not inevitable.

79
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:41,719
Speaker 1: We chose to fight and to fight now. And the

80
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 1: question is why does Iran pose an imminent threat to us? No,

81
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 1: they don't. Contrary to what the administration is saying, we destroyed.

82
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:56,480
Speaker 1: In fact, as Trump put it, we obliterated their nuclear

83
00:05:56,560 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 1: program just eight months ago. Come we're at it again.

84
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 1: We had set back their nuclear program for years. So

85
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 1: it's not about nuclear weapons, Okay, ballistic missiles. Well, at

86
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 1: the negotiations in Geneva, they were willing to make significant

87
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 1: concessions on ballistic missiles. The Mullahs were to avoid this

88
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 1: kind of military damage and this kind of military attack.

89
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 1: We dismissed it out of hand. So what is this

90
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 1: really about, my friends? This is about regime change. This

91
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 1: is about breaking Iran and trying to mold that country

92
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 1: to our will. And we're going to learn the hard way,

93
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 1: like we learned in Afghanistan, like we learned an Iraq.

94
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 1: We are not God. Globalism ultimately leads to a quagmire

95
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:59,360
Speaker 1: and a protracted conflict. Since when did we become the

96
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:04,720
Speaker 1: world's glow cop If Israel feels threatened by Iran, let

97
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 1: them take care of the Mullahs. If the Saudis and

98
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 1: the Gulf States feel threatened, they're swimming in oil. Let

99
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 1: them take care of the Mullas. But we have enough

100
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 1: problems here at home. I voted for America first, not

101
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 1: America last.

102
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 2: And I voted for no new wars, not more wars.

103
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:36,680
Speaker 1: Mister President, I'm urging you to prevent a bloodbath in

104
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 1: the midterms, to prevent your opponents from calling you a

105
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 1: flip flopper and a liar who broke his campaign pledge

106
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 1: of no new wars and this war quickly and decisively.

107
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 1: You've taken out the supreme leader. You have now badly

108
00:07:56,120 --> 00:08:00,040
Speaker 1: crippled the military of Iran. You have taken out the

109
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 1: leadership of the Iranian Revolutionary Regard Corps. You have decapitated

110
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 1: the Iranian regime. Now tell them come back to the

111
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 1: table and sign a final deal. No more nuclear enrichment zero,

112
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 1: no nuclear weapons program or any nuclear program at all, zero,

113
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:29,200
Speaker 1: nobilistic program zero, and then declare victory and go home. Otherwise,

114
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 1: if this regime completely crumbles and collapses, you're gonna have

115
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:38,319
Speaker 1: a vacuum. You're gonna have chaos and anarchy like we

116
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:42,559
Speaker 1: saw any rack, and that will be horrible for the Iranians,

117
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 1: it will be horrible for the region, and it will

118
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 1: be horrible for the United States. This war is not

119
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 1: worth the bones of a single American soldier. It's time

120
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 1: for America to come home. For God's sake, we have

121
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 1: enough problems here at home. We don't need to search

122
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:13,960
Speaker 1: for monsters to destroy abroad. Mister Trump, I did not

123
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:18,559
Speaker 1: vote for this, and on this issue, I'm telling you,

124
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,479
Speaker 1: i'm warning you, I'm.

125
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 2: Urging you to reconsider Many and Maga stand with me.

126
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:35,440
Speaker 1: Don't destroy your political coalition, because once it's gone, it's gone,
