1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,120
Speaker 1: Times expired, I would advise the members that a vote

2
00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:05,960
Speaker 1: has been called. It's a single vote, and if members

3
00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:07,840
Speaker 1: want to shuttle back and forth so we can maintain

4
00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:09,720
Speaker 1: the continuity of the hearing.

5
00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:09,959
Speaker 2: We'll do that.

6
00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:12,240
Speaker 1: So if you start to see it, just to our witnesses,

7
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:14,760
Speaker 1: you know how this works. They'll be moving in and

8
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:16,960
Speaker 1: out to go address that vote and then returning to

9
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:20,360
Speaker 1: their seat. But at this time I recognized mister Scott.

10
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:21,920
Speaker 2: Thank you, miss chairman. Chairman.

11
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:24,400
Speaker 3: For the record, I would like to submit an article

12
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:30,040
Speaker 3: from Politico dated February twenty fourth, twenty twenty six, and

13
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:31,480
Speaker 3: the title of it is ahead of State of the

14
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:36,320
Speaker 3: Union DEM's demand Trump make Iran plans public. I think

15
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:38,880
Speaker 3: most Americans understand that if the President of the United

16
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:42,600
Speaker 3: States makes those plans public, then the enemies get to see.

17
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 1: Them without objection.

18
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:46,159
Speaker 2: So or and that was the date of the State

19
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:47,720
Speaker 2: of the Union Director Ptel.

20
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:50,559
Speaker 3: I'm going to come to you very quickly and then

21
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 3: I'm going to move on.

22
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:53,599
Speaker 2: But I listened closely to.

23
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 3: Center langforage testimony yesterday about fraud and the other things

24
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 3: that are going on, and I want to bring your attention.

25
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 3: This was in March twenty fifth of twenty twenty four,

26
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:11,560
Speaker 3: an unsuspecting Uber driver named Lalitha Tolanda Hall drove to

27
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:13,680
Speaker 3: the house near Columbus, Ohio to pick up a package.

28
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 2: She had no idea that the eighty one year old

29
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:16,320
Speaker 2: man who.

30
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:19,120
Speaker 3: Lived there had just received a series of phone calls

31
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 3: from scammers who had threatened to kill him if he

32
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:24,760
Speaker 3: did not give the woman coming to his house twelve

33
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:29,199
Speaker 3: thousand dollars in cash. He killed the lady, so she's dead.

34
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 3: He now has a life sentence. Are you aware of

35
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:36,559
Speaker 3: any action or investigation that the Justice Department has taken

36
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:39,959
Speaker 3: to pursue justice to bring the scammers.

37
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:42,480
Speaker 2: And put them and make them pay for what they did.

38
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 4: I think let me take it. Thursday, nineteen March you're

39
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 4: over lord, twenty twenty six. We're going to this morning

40
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 4: be just as packed as we were yesterday with live

41
00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 4: events Tulci Gabbard, John Ratcliffe and Cash before the house,

42
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 4: Intelligence and they are getting and Tulsa's getting a little

43
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 4: bit lit up. We've got some pulls from that because

44
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 4: this started earlier. We're also going to dip in and

45
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:13,519
Speaker 4: out of the life coverage. Also, the Prime Minister of

46
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:16,520
Speaker 4: Japan at eleven o'clock will be at the White House.

47
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:19,359
Speaker 4: It looks like if it starts on time, the President

48
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 4: is going to meet with her for a few minutes

49
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 4: privately and then bring the press in for a bilot

50
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 4: and then take questions. My understanding is that she's got,

51
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 4: you know, real issues, and so maybe later anyway, we're

52
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 4: gonna be juggling. But we've got a full, absolute packed

53
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,080
Speaker 4: agenda that including a cold open that we're going to

54
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:43,680
Speaker 4: do in the B block. Mike David is going to

55
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:48,240
Speaker 4: join me here momentarily. And on top of that, Pete

56
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:55,639
Speaker 4: Hexeth and General Kind had a press conference this morning,

57
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,680
Speaker 4: a press briefing our own david' zer got a good

58
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 4: question and Real's voice, but there were some really terrific

59
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 4: questions asked in some terrific information overnight. I don't know

60
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 4: if you've got the tweet. I mean, we've got the

61
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:11,799
Speaker 4: true social the president. This is going to get back

62
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 4: to an issue that we're going to delve into this

63
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 4: morning and also this afternoon. I think we'll have more time.

64
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 4: There's an incident yesterday in which there's this massive gas

65
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 4: field natural gas. In fact, QATARS is kind of unique,

66
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 4: I think among the golf Emewerts is that they're not

67
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 4: really that much oil. It's natural gas. I think they're

68
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 4: the largest in the World's where their wealth derives from

69
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 4: and their power derives from Their power derives from their wealth.

70
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 4: It's a joint field, kind of co managed. I think,

71
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 4: really managed more than them. But in some part of it,

72
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 4: in joint ownership with the Iranians. Part of that was

73
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 4: hit yesterday by the Israelis and President Trump went off,

74
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 4: we can get that true social up and put it up.

75
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 4: President Trump went off, The Iranians hit back. Mike Davis

76
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 4: is up. Let me get to Mike in a second.

77
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 4: Then the Iranians hit back, and the President went off

78
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 4: on true social about this and it can't happen again.

79
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 4: It did expand gas through the roof oil I think

80
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 4: went to one hundred and nineteen dollars a barrow. I'm

81
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 4: going to get bowling on here. Later we'll fit it in.

82
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 4: We'll figure out somehow when he's available to fit in. Also,

83
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,359
Speaker 4: in addition, yesterday we talked to you about the pipeline

84
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 4: across Saudi Arabi going to the Red Seat that was hit.

85
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 4: As we told you, in all likelihood they're going to

86
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:36,479
Speaker 4: start targeting this because this is the one way the

87
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 4: Arabs the Saudis have to get around the Strait of Hormuz.

88
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:45,479
Speaker 4: More developments on this expeditionary force it looks like coming

89
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 4: together potentially to give the President of the United States

90
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:52,040
Speaker 4: another era in the quiver to be able to take

91
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:57,279
Speaker 4: carg Island and maybe part of some coastal facilities inside

92
00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:00,280
Speaker 4: the Persian Gulf near the Strait of Hormos anywhere. Get

93
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 4: to all that, including Tulsi's testimony quite as he did

94
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:07,839
Speaker 4: today as it was yesterday when she's in front of

95
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:11,720
Speaker 4: the Senate. Right now, I've got is Mike Davis with me. Mike,

96
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 4: so I want to go through and if we've got

97
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 4: the clip from Mullins, do we have that clip that

98
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:19,840
Speaker 4: short clip? Is that ready to go? It's not ready

99
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 4: to go, Thank you, Mike Davis. We have a host

100
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 4: of things to go through. The one I want to

101
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:31,920
Speaker 4: talk about is that the Save America Act now today

102
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 4: the sentence coming back in noon. We covered it last

103
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 4: night on our six o'clock show, and we streamed it

104
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 4: into its conclusion of Mike Lee came on the floor,

105
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 4: but the second part of that pivoted away because the

106
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:47,599
Speaker 4: Democrats just don't have a great answer for this. Chuck

107
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 4: Schumer then goes to the sticks and says, yeah, of

108
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 4: course we support voter ID. They pivoted in about the

109
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 4: six o'clock hour to talk about war powers. I mean,

110
00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:00,480
Speaker 4: they totally changed the conversation, and then Cotton and had

111
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 4: to come down and you had a big, you know,

112
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 4: a big throwdown on war powers. They put up another

113
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:09,480
Speaker 4: what korm vote and they lost I think, you know,

114
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 4: fifty three forty seven. It wasn't even close. Can you

115
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:15,359
Speaker 4: just walk us through what you think the strategy is

116
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:17,719
Speaker 4: right now, because they're going to reconvene it noon, they're

117
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 4: supposed to talk about Save America. Do you just walk

118
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 4: me through your understanding of where we are in This.

119
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 5: Save Act has the support of over eighty percent of Americans,

120
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:32,160
Speaker 5: including a super majority of Democrats and even a super

121
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 5: majority of minorities. Because it is common sensical that you

122
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 5: have to have an ID to vote, like you do

123
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:44,599
Speaker 5: in just about every other civilized country around the world.

124
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:49,719
Speaker 5: It's common sensical that you don't have foreign invaders, illegal aliens,

125
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:53,920
Speaker 5: and other foreigners voting in your elections. We want Americans

126
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 5: to decide American elections and we need to have that

127
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 5: verified with voter ID. The Democrats have pretend it's that

128
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 5: the voter ID is somehow racist because apparently, according to

129
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 5: the Democrats, black Americans don't have the wherewithal to get

130
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 5: an ID, and they also think voter ID or they

131
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 5: pretend voter ID is sexist because apparently married women are

132
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 5: two stupid to change their name and get an ID

133
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 5: like everyone else. According to the Democrats theory. This is

134
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 5: collapsing on the Democrats, as we saw with Chuck Schumer,

135
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 5: the Senate Democrat leader, who is pivoting rapidly because he

136
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 5: sees the poll numbers in the pressure, including from the

137
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 5: war room posse lighting up these Senate offices through our actions.

138
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 4: Are they're one of the reasons, Mike, help me out here.

139
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 4: There are reasons that they're arguments because we've been in

140
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 4: this now for two days. Their arguments are very scattered,

141
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 4: very weak. Is that what's also driving I mean, some

142
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 4: people are watching this, they're putting the clips out in

143
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 4: the Democrat are just not you know the thing about

144
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 4: fifty percent of women are going to be not be

145
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 4: able to vote. They're not sticking the landing on anything.

146
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 4: Is that why Schumer is now saying, of course we

147
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 4: support voter ID? Is that the reason?

148
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 5: Of course, here's the real reason that Democrats are fighting

149
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:18,239
Speaker 5: like hell to stop the passage of the Save Acts

150
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:21,200
Speaker 5: that has the support of eighty percent of Americans, including

151
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 5: a supermajority of Democrats and even a supermajority of minorities.

152
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 5: Because Democrat politicians know that illegal aliens are illegally voting

153
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:35,319
Speaker 5: in our elections right, and the Democrats are increasingly reliant

154
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 5: on the illegal alien vote or the foreigner vote, like

155
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:43,679
Speaker 5: we saw in New York City with Mondami. If illegals

156
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:46,720
Speaker 5: are not voting, why are the Democrats so concerned about

157
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:51,200
Speaker 5: voter ID? Why are they so concerned about both you know,

158
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:55,120
Speaker 5: roof of citizenship when you register to vote. These are

159
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 5: common sense proposals in this Save Act. I want to

160
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:02,840
Speaker 5: commend Center like Mike Lee. He has been the tip

161
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 5: of the spear on this. There's also been other Senators

162
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:09,200
Speaker 5: like Eric Schmidt and Missouri. But these guys are warriors.

163
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:11,960
Speaker 5: One of my good friends is Rachel Beauvart at the

164
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:18,319
Speaker 5: Conservative Partnership Institute, and she is an expert on Senate procedure,

165
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 5: and I talked to her last night, and I would

166
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 5: strongly encourage Senate Republicans to lean in, and lean in strongly.

167
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 5: We do not need sixty votes to pass legislation in

168
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:35,439
Speaker 5: the Senate. That is a myth. It takes sixty votes

169
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:39,440
Speaker 5: to short circuits to bait in the Senate, so to

170
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 5: de file for closure, to invoke cloture, to short circuit

171
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 5: unlimited debate in the Senate. But if you just force

172
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 5: these Senate Democrats to stand on their feet and debates,

173
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 5: they're going to wear out. And we have eighty percent

174
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 5: of Americans behind the passage of the Sayback. So let's

175
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 5: not play any games. Let's they're building what's called the

176
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:06,079
Speaker 5: tree and the and the sentence. Let's build that tree

177
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 5: with real amendments that that's going to ultimately lead to

178
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 5: the debates and passage of the Say Act, and not

179
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:17,079
Speaker 5: bright shiny Christmas ornaments that are a distraction. Keep your

180
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 5: eye on the price, which is the passage of the

181
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:24,199
Speaker 5: say Backs. The Democrats are going to cave. It has

182
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:27,960
Speaker 5: eighty percent support of Americans, including a supermajority of the

183
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:30,800
Speaker 5: Democrats and minorities. The Democrats will cave on this. We're

184
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:35,320
Speaker 5: already starting to see Schumer cave by saying, after opposing

185
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 5: Voter ID for many, many, many years, all of a

186
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:41,560
Speaker 5: sudden the Democrats pretend like they support Voter ID. The

187
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 5: political pressure is working.

188
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 4: Perfect. Okay, let me play. I want to play something

189
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:51,040
Speaker 4: from hearing. I know you're pressed for time. We're pressure time.

190
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 4: Let's play this hearing and I want your response of

191
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:54,840
Speaker 4: Mike Davis.

192
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:58,440
Speaker 6: A clothing at a local church. When she came across

193
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:01,679
Speaker 6: agents in an unmarked car agents side swipe your car.

194
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 6: Three masked agents and camouflage stormed out, and one of

195
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:08,839
Speaker 6: them pulled out his gun and fired at her just

196
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 6: moving vehicle, hitting her five times.

197
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 4: Thank you guys. Let's get the right clip anyway, Mike.

198
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 4: Because of time constraints, we had the witness your stay.

199
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 4: Mark Wayne Mullins trying to be there or trying to

200
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 4: become the head of DHS said was very blunt and

201
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 4: said under his watch that he will require judicial warrants

202
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 4: to go into any business or any home in which

203
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 4: they're not actively chasing a criminal. This is one billion

204
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 4: percent against any logic, anything that the Trump administration has

205
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 4: ever stood for, and anything the President of the United

206
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:50,840
Speaker 4: States has ever stood for. He please, you're the guy

207
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:57,680
Speaker 4: that used to prep all the big time confirmations we

208
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 4: had to do fell to you working for Forssing, particularly

209
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:04,440
Speaker 4: when it came to Supreme Court and others. How was

210
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 4: that a slip of what Mark Wayne Mullins thinks or

211
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 4: is that signed off by the White House? Sir?

212
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:14,840
Speaker 5: I presume that Senator Mullen must have been misspeaking there,

213
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 5: because that's not what the law is by any stretch

214
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:19,960
Speaker 5: of the imagination. He's not a lawyer, so you know,

215
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:23,240
Speaker 5: it's understandable if he got tripped up a bit on

216
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 5: the differences between a judicial warrant, where you go to

217
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:30,960
Speaker 5: the Article three a judge in a criminal proceeding with

218
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 5: probable cause, versus an ice warrant, where it's a civil

219
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:41,320
Speaker 5: proceeding to expel illegal aliens as civil in nature, not

220
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 5: criminal in nature. So I presume he just got tripped

221
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:47,440
Speaker 5: up on the difference between a judicial warrant and an

222
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 5: ice warrant, because that's just not what the law is.

223
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:54,680
Speaker 5: And if we actually require judicial warrants for immigration, there's

224
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:57,559
Speaker 5: no chance in hell we would be able to expel

225
00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 5: the tens of millions of aliens who have flooded into

226
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:08,080
Speaker 5: America and are replacing American workers in American voters. So

227
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:13,559
Speaker 5: President Trump's brought electoral mandate is to secure our border

228
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:16,560
Speaker 5: and expel illegal aliens, starting with the worst of the

229
00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:19,560
Speaker 5: worst like Trendy or Ragua and MS thirteen. And you

230
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 5: certainly don't need an Article three judicial warrant to do that.

231
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:28,360
Speaker 4: It would take us how many thousand years if there's

232
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:32,400
Speaker 4: President Trump says twenty five? I think worms are like

233
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 4: twenty or fifteen to twenty. But let's say there's millions

234
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 4: and millions and millions real quickly. I'm holding through the break.

235
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:41,240
Speaker 4: I got another question, but how many decades would it

236
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 4: take us if we had to have judicial warrants? And

237
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:46,319
Speaker 4: also the system would totally clog up, You couldn't move

238
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:49,080
Speaker 4: anything else. It would be it'd be beyond a nightmare.

239
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:51,840
Speaker 4: How can this be a slip up? How can this

240
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 4: be a slip of this guy? How's he nominated? He's

241
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:56,559
Speaker 4: got to know something about this part of it? I

242
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:58,199
Speaker 4: mean home and I think was on TV said, look,

243
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 4: he's not an expert in in immigration law. This is

244
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:04,200
Speaker 4: not something for an expert. This is not something you

245
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 4: need to be an expert, is it, sir?

246
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 5: Look I would just say this, Just think of what

247
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:15,320
Speaker 5: DC Obama Judge Jeff Boseburg would do with an article

248
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 5: three judicial warrants for any illegal alien to get expelled

249
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 5: out of our country, including a rapist or a murderer.

250
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 7: He would throw it right and his guard to be in.

251
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:27,240
Speaker 7: So that's just not the law, it's not practical. It

252
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 7: would make it impossible for President Trump to do his

253
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 7: job and carry out has brought electoral mandate to get

254
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:36,359
Speaker 7: these illegal aliens the hell out of our country.

255
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 4: Perfect answer. Think about we had to go to but

256
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:43,080
Speaker 4: there's hundreds of Boseberg's out there. He's the worst, but

257
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:45,520
Speaker 4: there's hundreds of Mike's. Exactly right, you'd never get any

258
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 4: warrant anyway. Mike David was going to stick with us.

259
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:50,240
Speaker 4: We got so much to go through and we're going

260
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 4: to get it all done this morning in the war room.

261
00:14:52,200 --> 00:15:00,160
Speaker 4: Short commercial break, the Viceroy on the other side.

262
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 8: Yes, there are reporters in front of me, but they

263
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 8: are not our audience today. It's you, the good, decent,

264
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 8: patriotic American people. You, the hard working, tax paying, god

265
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 8: fearing American patriots. The media here, not all of it,

266
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:26,400
Speaker 8: but much of it wants you to think, just nineteen

267
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:29,640
Speaker 8: days into this conflict, that we're somehow spinning toward an

268
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:35,440
Speaker 8: endless abyss or a forever war or a quagmire. Nothing

269
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 8: could be further from the truth. Hear it from me,

270
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 8: one of hundreds of thousands who fought in Iraq and Afghanistan,

271
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 8: who watched previous foolish politicians like Bush, Obama and Biden

272
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 8: squander American credibility. This is not those wars. President Trump

273
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:04,040
Speaker 8: knows better to the patriotic members of the press, nobody

274
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 8: can deliver perfection in wartime. This building knows that more

275
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 8: than anyone, but.

276
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 9: Report the reality. We're winning decisively and on our terms

277
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 9: with our team here.

278
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 10: The director Gaberd told your colleague Senater John Ausoff that

279
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:27,160
Speaker 10: it's not the intelligence Screeny's job to determine whether a

280
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 10: country poses an imminent threat to the United States. She

281
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 10: only said the president can do that. Does that come

282
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:35,640
Speaker 10: as news to analysts at the eighteen agencies under her control,

283
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 10: including the CIA.

284
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 11: Well, that comes to news to all of us who

285
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 11: thought we still had a constitution and the requirement that

286
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:47,400
Speaker 11: a president if going to end to a war of choice,

287
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:50,960
Speaker 11: you have to react quite quickly. We give the president

288
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 11: the deference, but this was a war of choice and

289
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 11: the idea that he alone gets to determine what is imminent.

290
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 11: I thought imminent was actually a factual determination. Many times

291
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:06,879
Speaker 11: the intelligence community says, you know, there's an imminent throughout

292
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:10,520
Speaker 11: here or there. There was never that indication from all

293
00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:14,639
Speaker 11: the reports that I saw and read. And I'm a

294
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:19,440
Speaker 11: little bit flabbergasted by Director Gabbard, but I guess not surprised.

295
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:23,040
Speaker 8: That is overwhelming force applied with precision, and again today

296
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:26,600
Speaker 8: will be the largest strike package yet, just.

297
00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:27,800
Speaker 9: Like yesterday was.

298
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 8: As I've said from day one, our capabilities continue to build.

299
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:36,800
Speaker 8: Iran's continue to degrade. We're hunting and striking death and

300
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:44,640
Speaker 8: destruction from above. Their core industries not steel or agriculture, tourism.

301
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:50,280
Speaker 8: Their core industries are state sponsored terrorism, proxy militias, underground networks,

302
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:56,680
Speaker 8: ballistic missiles, and a violent messionic Islamist ideology chasing some

303
00:17:56,760 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 8: sort of apocalyptic endgame. A regime like that refusing to

304
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:06,480
Speaker 8: abandon its nuclear ambitions is not just a regional problem.

305
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:11,399
Speaker 8: It's a direct threat to America, to freedom, and to civilization.

306
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 8: My thirteen year old son popped into my office last

307
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:19,280
Speaker 8: night while I was editing these remarks, he asked about

308
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:23,399
Speaker 8: the war and the families I met at Dover, and

309
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:28,160
Speaker 8: I looked at him and I said, they died for you, son,

310
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:32,280
Speaker 8: so that your generation doesn't have to deal with a

311
00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:38,800
Speaker 8: nuclear Iran. It's the truth, and they did so. To

312
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:43,240
Speaker 8: the families who said finish this, we will. And I

313
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:47,520
Speaker 8: say the same to every American who wants peace through strength.

314
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:52,400
Speaker 8: May Almighty God continue to bless our troops in this fight.

315
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:55,720
Speaker 8: And again to the American people, please pray for them

316
00:18:57,240 --> 00:19:03,840
Speaker 8: every day on bended dye, with your family, in your schools,

317
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:07,199
Speaker 8: in your churches, in the name of Jesus Christ.

318
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 12: West Sentcom remains on plan to achieve our military objectives

319
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 12: and remain unrelenting in our pursuit of Iranian missile capabilities,

320
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:20,400
Speaker 12: UAV capabilities, and their navy and, as the Secretary said,

321
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:24,800
Speaker 12: their industrial base. Each day we continue to attack deeper

322
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:30,359
Speaker 12: into Iranian territory. As reported by US Central Command yesterday,

323
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:34,920
Speaker 12: the US military dropped five thousand pound penetrator weapons into

324
00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:39,920
Speaker 12: underground storage facilities storing coastal defense cruise missiles and other

325
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:44,320
Speaker 12: support equipment. These weapons are bespokely designed to get through

326
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 12: concrete and or rocks and function. After penetrating those barriers,

327
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:55,440
Speaker 12: we continue to hunt and kill MIND storage facilities and

328
00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 12: naval ammunition depots. We continue to hunt and kill a

329
00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:02,639
Speaker 12: f fat assets, including more than one hundred and twenty

330
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:06,520
Speaker 12: vessels and forty four MIND layers, and the pressure will continue.

331
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:10,080
Speaker 12: We're flying further to the east now and penetrating deeper

332
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:13,880
Speaker 12: into Iranian airspace to hunt and kill one way attack era.

333
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:18,560
Speaker 12: Since destroying Iran's ability to project power outside of its borders,

334
00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:21,720
Speaker 12: the A ten Warthog is now in the fight across

335
00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 12: the southern flank and is hunting and killing fast attack

336
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:28,959
Speaker 12: watercraft in the straits of horn Moves. In addition, AH

337
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:32,000
Speaker 12: sixty four apaches have joined the fight on the southern

338
00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:36,119
Speaker 12: flank and they continue to work on the southern side,

339
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 12: and that includes some of our allies who are using

340
00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:43,879
Speaker 12: apaches to handle one way attack drones in Iraq. Age

341
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:49,160
Speaker 12: sixty fours have been striking against Iranian aligned militia groups

342
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:52,199
Speaker 12: to make sure that we suppress any threat in Iraq

343
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 12: against US forces or US interests, and we remain focused

344
00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:02,200
Speaker 12: on pursuit of any platform that Iran could field to

345
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:06,199
Speaker 12: harm Americans or partners. Last Friday, Admiral Cooper and the

346
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:10,400
Speaker 12: Sencam team conducted precision strikes against more than ninety targets

347
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:15,440
Speaker 12: on carg Island, which included all of their military only infrastructure,

348
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:20,920
Speaker 12: which included air defenses, naval based mind storage and deployment facilities.

349
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:24,320
Speaker 12: And as the Secretary mentioned, we continue to strike against

350
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:26,720
Speaker 12: Iran's defense industrial base.

351
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:30,560
Speaker 13: And morning miss the Secretary David Zabrael America's Voice news.

352
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:34,400
Speaker 13: What countries have been the most cooperative with US, including

353
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:38,200
Speaker 13: the Gulf States as Europe hedges and I also wanted

354
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:41,880
Speaker 13: to ask you the Internet blackouts by the regime, It's

355
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:44,560
Speaker 13: been shut down for weeks. Is a US military playing

356
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:49,400
Speaker 13: a role in fighting against the regime blocking VPN networks

357
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:53,840
Speaker 13: and satellites and other things? Is there is there a

358
00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:55,320
Speaker 13: role for the US military there?

359
00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:00,880
Speaker 8: Obviously on the Allies and partners side, Israel from day

360
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:04,119
Speaker 8: one has been an incredible and capable partner, willing and able.

361
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 8: There's nothing like capabilities and partners that are able to

362
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:11,200
Speaker 8: use them. The Gulf States have stepped up incredibly. In fact,

363
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:15,960
Speaker 8: Iran's sort of reckless attempt to strike civilian infrastructure and

364
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 8: other things has brought countries who maybe would have not

365
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:22,960
Speaker 8: been as all in as they are today squarely into

366
00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 8: our orbit orbit, and we're proud to be defending with them,

367
00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:30,720
Speaker 8: standing with them, you name it, Uae, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait,

368
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:33,679
Speaker 8: Saudi Arabia and others who have been right there, and.

369
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:35,600
Speaker 9: We're grateful for that kind of support.

370
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 14: Gerry, Thank you, mister chairman.

371
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:40,280
Speaker 3: Given the updated degradation in strike target numbers you laid out,

372
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:42,439
Speaker 3: how close would you say we are.

373
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:45,600
Speaker 8: Towards achieving the President's objectives and what is the endgame

374
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:46,760
Speaker 8: of the operation.

375
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:48,520
Speaker 9: Without divulging any sensitive battle plans.

376
00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:51,040
Speaker 8: Well, we wouldn't want to set a definitive timeframe on that,

377
00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:53,160
Speaker 8: but as we've said, we're on plans. So we're looking

378
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:56,280
Speaker 8: at those metrics very closely, relaying that to the President

379
00:22:56,320 --> 00:23:00,240
Speaker 8: and the National security team. But feel confident that as again,

380
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:03,320
Speaker 8: we're more stand in means we're over the top even

381
00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:07,080
Speaker 8: further in and we have even more of an exact

382
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:09,840
Speaker 8: sense of what we're striking and why, and even more dynamically,

383
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:13,359
Speaker 8: meaning because the intelligence improves, we're able to more quickly

384
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:15,399
Speaker 8: identify targets when they let's say they come out of

385
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:18,520
Speaker 8: an underground facility where they've been hiding and able to.

386
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:20,600
Speaker 9: Strike it before it strikes or right after it shoots.

387
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:23,879
Speaker 8: But we're very much on plan, and that's why I

388
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:24,439
Speaker 8: want to speak to.

389
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:25,400
Speaker 9: The American people here.

390
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:29,440
Speaker 8: You hear a lot of noise about widening or new missions,

391
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:31,960
Speaker 8: or speculation about what we should or should not be doing.

392
00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:34,639
Speaker 9: This is a clear set of objectives.

393
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:36,840
Speaker 8: The President has given us every capability we need to

394
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:39,199
Speaker 8: accomplish that. We've got the best in the world in

395
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:43,399
Speaker 8: uniform executing it on the ground. They are believe in

396
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:45,920
Speaker 8: and are invested in this mission, and it will be

397
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:49,440
Speaker 8: at the President's choosing ultimately where we say, hey, we've

398
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:51,480
Speaker 8: achieved what we need to on behalf of the American

399
00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:55,239
Speaker 8: people to ensure our security. So no time set on that,

400
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:56,680
Speaker 8: but we're very much on track.

401
00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:59,440
Speaker 15: So the Vice President has often emphasized that the goal

402
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:04,200
Speaker 15: of this war is to denuclearize Iran while also avoiding

403
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:05,359
Speaker 15: a larger quagmire.

404
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:07,440
Speaker 9: I know that you touched on this.

405
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:09,879
Speaker 15: I'd like you to expand on how do you do that?

406
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:13,960
Speaker 15: How do you denuclearize the country while also avoiding this

407
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:17,880
Speaker 15: forever war. And then there was a report last night

408
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:20,600
Speaker 15: that the Pentagon asked the White House for two hundred

409
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:24,800
Speaker 15: billion for Iran war supplemental. Can you confirm this and

410
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 15: can you explain why a package this large is necessary?

411
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:30,879
Speaker 8: Well, first of all, none of this would have been

412
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:34,520
Speaker 8: possible without Midnight Hammer, without that audacious mission with very

413
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:37,240
Speaker 8: clear goals that DITA obliterate their ability to enrich and

414
00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:39,919
Speaker 8: the capabilities they have in those facilities. So it created

415
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:42,879
Speaker 8: the conditions for Iran to step forward and say, Okay,

416
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:44,879
Speaker 8: you can reach out and touch us like that in

417
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:47,040
Speaker 8: our nuclear ambitions. You can see that we're still trying

418
00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:50,160
Speaker 8: to do this. Let's make a deal. And the President

419
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:52,840
Speaker 8: Trump put our two best folks on it, Stephen Jarrett,

420
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:55,640
Speaker 8: and they worked diligently, earnestly. I watched it to try

421
00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:58,480
Speaker 8: to pursue that deal, and ultimately, I think the whole time,

422
00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:01,960
Speaker 8: Iran sort of said, well, we'll talk as we build

423
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:04,600
Speaker 8: more missiles and as we build more UAVs, and we

424
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:06,920
Speaker 8: create this conventional umbrella.

425
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:09,160
Speaker 9: So that if we chose to, we could.

426
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:13,040
Speaker 8: Try to reconstitute the program, and sort of naively thinking

427
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:15,280
Speaker 8: that President Trump wouldn't do something about it. And that's why,

428
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:17,840
Speaker 8: as Secretary Rubio has said, and I've said, it's the

429
00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 8: conventional umbrella that was growing and growing and growing that

430
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:24,359
Speaker 8: was meant to protect that nuclear capability. So you had

431
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:27,639
Speaker 8: to address both what happened with Midnight Hammer and what

432
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:30,240
Speaker 8: happened with that as well as far as two hundred

433
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:32,360
Speaker 8: billion dollars, I think that number could move.

434
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:37,399
Speaker 9: Obviously, it takes money to kill bad guys.

435
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:40,680
Speaker 8: So we're going back to Congress and folks there to

436
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:44,840
Speaker 8: ensure that we're properly funded for what's been done, for

437
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:47,560
Speaker 8: what we may have to do in the future, ensure

438
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:51,640
Speaker 8: that our ammunition is everything's refilled, and not just refilled,

439
00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:54,040
Speaker 8: but above and beyond. I mean President Trump, as he said,

440
00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:56,280
Speaker 8: rebuilt the military, and his first term didn't think he'd

441
00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:59,199
Speaker 8: use it as dynamically in his second body had, so

442
00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:02,000
Speaker 8: thank goodness he did that. An investment like this is

443
00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:04,280
Speaker 8: meant to say, hey, we'll replace anything that was spent.

444
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:06,840
Speaker 8: And now that we're reviving our defense industrial base and

445
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:09,240
Speaker 8: rebuilding the arsenal freedom and cutting deals.

446
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:10,679
Speaker 9: Like our great deputy secretaries here.

447
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:14,320
Speaker 8: Is doing long lead times on exquisite munitions, we're going

448
00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:18,040
Speaker 8: to be refilled faster than anyone imagined. And I think

449
00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:20,679
Speaker 8: you know we're also still dealing with the environment that

450
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:25,000
Speaker 8: Joe Biden created, which was which was depleting those stockhols

451
00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:31,200
Speaker 8: and not sending him to our own military but to Ukraine.

452
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:34,639
Speaker 4: Okay, I'm going to get Mike Davis hopefully back up

453
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:38,679
Speaker 4: to Sarahen, we talk about the Save America Act. I

454
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:40,920
Speaker 4: think there is some momentum. We'll talk about that more.

455
00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:45,440
Speaker 4: Also this press conference, what's going on, capital markets, all

456
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:47,320
Speaker 4: of it. You're in the war room on a Thursday,

457
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:51,040
Speaker 4: Japanese Prime Minister en route to the Oval Office. Short

458
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:53,280
Speaker 4: commercial break back in the warm in a moment.

459
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:02,800
Speaker 9: Road use your host, Stephen K.

460
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 11: Bath.

461
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:09,560
Speaker 4: Okay. So the Intelligence Group just like yes say with

462
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:12,800
Speaker 4: the Senate, and remember this wasn't called because.

463
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:12,960
Speaker 15: Of the war.

464
00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:17,080
Speaker 4: These are scheduled that they have to do. I think

465
00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:20,639
Speaker 4: it's twice a year that they have to update on

466
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 4: the intelligence situation. O. D and I Tulca Gabbard submits

467
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:32,840
Speaker 4: a report that people and look at now the report itself.

468
00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:37,679
Speaker 4: We will get into more that I hope on probably

469
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:39,880
Speaker 4: won't have time to marble on Saturday. Go through report.

470
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:42,760
Speaker 4: Remember we went through the National Security Strategy Memo and

471
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:45,960
Speaker 4: then the National Security Defense Memo that comes off of

472
00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:49,480
Speaker 4: those are all required by statute to actually get done.

473
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:54,119
Speaker 4: The this is also by statue. She has to deliver

474
00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:59,720
Speaker 4: it as the overseers. She kind of over over, kind

475
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:03,080
Speaker 4: of is at the top level all seventeen, although DiiA,

476
00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:07,359
Speaker 4: Defense Intelligence and CIA run totally on their own, and

477
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:10,400
Speaker 4: I know they do report up or at least in some aspect.

478
00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:13,679
Speaker 4: The interesting thing about this is, I believe, as I

479
00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:18,200
Speaker 4: redo it, there is first off, it's about the borders,

480
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:23,359
Speaker 4: about internal security, it's about intelligence, about the homegrown nature

481
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:27,080
Speaker 4: of some of this all radical to Islam. It's one

482
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:29,440
Speaker 4: of the reasons that's real law so important, the Texas

483
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:34,040
Speaker 4: proposition that we passed overwhelmingly. But then they get to Iran.

484
00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:37,439
Speaker 4: But then I have an issue. There's an issue with

485
00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:42,880
Speaker 4: the Director National Intelligence about the rise of China and

486
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:46,040
Speaker 4: particularly regarding Taiwan. We're going to have obviously our top

487
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:49,760
Speaker 4: experts from the community and the President danger China probably

488
00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:53,800
Speaker 4: going to break that down on Saturday. But let's say this.

489
00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:57,040
Speaker 4: I think in the intelligence report it's quite different than

490
00:28:57,080 --> 00:28:58,560
Speaker 4: what we've had over the last couple of years, and

491
00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:02,520
Speaker 4: even different than the National Curti Memorandum that was submitted

492
00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:07,280
Speaker 4: in the National Defense memoranius submitted by the Secretary of

493
00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:10,080
Speaker 4: War about China and the threat in the South China Sea,

494
00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:13,880
Speaker 4: the Straits of Taiwan, and particularly with a potential planning

495
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:16,920
Speaker 4: by the CCP and the People's Liberation Army in Navy

496
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:20,960
Speaker 4: for an invasion of Taiwan. We'll get to all that later.

497
00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:23,080
Speaker 4: One thing I want to say, Mike Davis had to bounce,

498
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:28,880
Speaker 4: but about to save America acting. See the pivot by

499
00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:31,320
Speaker 4: the Democrats. Because of the last two days we've had

500
00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:35,600
Speaker 4: Walda Wall coverage of this, you haven't seen their arguments

501
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:37,720
Speaker 4: from not sticking. That's why Schumer, I think, is looking

502
00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:39,880
Speaker 4: for some running room. They keep flipping back to these

503
00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:43,720
Speaker 4: war powers discussions. As we covered last night, another failed

504
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:47,520
Speaker 4: vote by the Democrats this afternoon, Mike Lee, I think

505
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:49,640
Speaker 4: they're going to pick this up starting at noon. Like

506
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:50,960
Speaker 4: I said, we're going to go to the White House

507
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:54,200
Speaker 4: for the Prime Minister's visit in a bilent. President Trump

508
00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:56,400
Speaker 4: is inviting the press in I think around eleven fifteen

509
00:29:56,400 --> 00:30:00,120
Speaker 4: eleven thirty. Mike Lee's back up on the Senate, we're

510
00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:03,240
Speaker 4: going to have people up on Capitol Hill. And it

511
00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:05,760
Speaker 4: looks at now we've we're on the bill. It's now

512
00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:09,240
Speaker 4: to get to the standing filibuster and all that that.

513
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:11,560
Speaker 4: I think the next forty eight hours will play through.

514
00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:13,800
Speaker 4: But I do think there is some momentum here because

515
00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:16,800
Speaker 4: you see the Democrats starting to fold, particularly on the idea.

516
00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:19,880
Speaker 4: I'm sure they're doing the overnight polling and seeing this.

517
00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:23,520
Speaker 4: One Schumer says that I want to now go to

518
00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:28,640
Speaker 4: Ohio the Attorney General, Dave Yost, Mister Attorney General, thank

519
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:31,120
Speaker 4: you for joining us. Well, everything else is going on.

520
00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:32,960
Speaker 4: One thing I keep telling the audience we've got to

521
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:35,840
Speaker 4: continue to focus on is this is the concentration of power,

522
00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:39,720
Speaker 4: corporate and really governmental power in the United States. You

523
00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:44,040
Speaker 4: are one of these, I would say, heroic attorney generals

524
00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:47,040
Speaker 4: that have stepped into the breach in this. It's this

525
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:50,000
Speaker 4: situation with Live Ent, and I tell people it's not

526
00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:54,400
Speaker 4: simply about an entertainment entity. This talks the bigger issues

527
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:57,280
Speaker 4: about corporate power. Now, you're one of the attorney generals,

528
00:30:57,320 --> 00:30:59,800
Speaker 4: like in Texas and other states that have taken this

529
00:30:59,880 --> 00:31:02,000
Speaker 4: up up on this antitrust suit. Can you just walk

530
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:05,160
Speaker 4: us through your logic, given everything else is going on,

531
00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:08,320
Speaker 4: why you consider this an important issue for you to

532
00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:10,760
Speaker 4: focus on as an state aging sir.

533
00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:17,240
Speaker 16: Yeah, absolutely, although I'll say if I were a federal officer,

534
00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:19,840
Speaker 16: this wouldn't be probably at the top of my list

535
00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:22,920
Speaker 16: with everything that's going on in the world. But it

536
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:25,560
Speaker 16: is important, and your point on the concentration of power

537
00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:31,320
Speaker 16: is absolutely important. That's what we're seeing right now in America.

538
00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:36,920
Speaker 16: It is the suppression of ingenuity and innovation when concentrated

539
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:40,200
Speaker 16: power protects its own position. That's what's happening here with

540
00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:44,480
Speaker 16: the Live Nation lawsuit. It's an anti trust lawsuit had

541
00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:48,960
Speaker 16: been between the federal government and the state Attorney's General

542
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:52,360
Speaker 16: were cooperating to sue them. What they've done is they

543
00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:56,200
Speaker 16: have vertically integrated and created a monopoly that, for all

544
00:31:56,200 --> 00:32:00,400
Speaker 16: intents and purposes, strangles the entertainment industry.

545
00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:04,320
Speaker 4: You play with Live Nation, or you may not get

546
00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:05,160
Speaker 4: to play at all.

547
00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:10,440
Speaker 16: They own the venues, they own ticket Master and the sales,

548
00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:14,000
Speaker 16: They own the promotion company. They own everything from top

549
00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:17,600
Speaker 16: to bottom except the artists. They only rent the artists

550
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:24,040
Speaker 16: because they're disposable. So this lawsuit seeks money damages as

551
00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:30,040
Speaker 16: well as divestiture of the ticket Master portion of the enterprise.

552
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:33,720
Speaker 16: It's kind of the lynchpin of their ability to control

553
00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:38,560
Speaker 16: the entire ecosystem to allow free and fair competition, which

554
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:43,280
Speaker 16: markets are how we allocate resources in a free society.

555
00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:46,080
Speaker 16: But there's no free market when there's a monopoly.

556
00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:50,040
Speaker 4: So I've done these guys for years. In Live Nation,

557
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:53,000
Speaker 4: they went about, you know, I was in the merging

558
00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:55,680
Speaker 4: acquisition department Goldman Saxon many years. I have my own firm,

559
00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:58,200
Speaker 4: did M and A. They did a logical and I

560
00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:00,360
Speaker 4: was part of a management company in the music but

561
00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:05,360
Speaker 4: they did a logical consolidation of of of the venues,

562
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:08,280
Speaker 4: from the sheds to the ampithets, all of it. But

563
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:11,200
Speaker 4: it was during the Obama administration that then they merged

564
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:14,680
Speaker 4: and the Obama administration approved this. Their Justice Department and

565
00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:17,520
Speaker 4: Anti Trust Division approved the merger. In the Ticketmasher, that's

566
00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:19,720
Speaker 4: when it became a different entity. I mean, that's when

567
00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:23,400
Speaker 4: they really had pricing power control. As you said, everybody

568
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:26,360
Speaker 4: but the artists, which they they rented as rent seekers.

569
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:30,400
Speaker 4: Are we making the argument enough that this is what

570
00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:35,120
Speaker 4: Obama and you know, the Democrats are all for these oligarchs,

571
00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:36,680
Speaker 4: and that's what you guys are trying to break up.

572
00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:38,840
Speaker 4: I mean, the Justice Department came up with a solution

573
00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:42,280
Speaker 4: you stay ag said, that's still not good enough. We

574
00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:44,040
Speaker 4: want to be tough on this. We want to really

575
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:47,800
Speaker 4: back entrepreneurs. Are we putting a highlight to make sure

576
00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:50,720
Speaker 4: people understand this is how so many of these industries

577
00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:54,560
Speaker 4: during the bi during the Obama administration had the concentration

578
00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:56,040
Speaker 4: of power around these oligarchs.

579
00:33:56,120 --> 00:34:00,920
Speaker 16: Sir, Yeah, that's a great point. At the beginning the

580
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:03,600
Speaker 16: turn of the century is when we really started seeing

581
00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:09,680
Speaker 16: discussion about oligarchy here in America, and the state attorneys

582
00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:12,680
Speaker 16: general have been focusing not just on this, but we

583
00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:15,880
Speaker 16: look at some of the things that's happening in big tech.

584
00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:20,480
Speaker 16: The attorney generals are in court and you know, we're concerned,

585
00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:25,800
Speaker 16: and I think properly so about the aggregation of unchecked power.

586
00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:32,319
Speaker 4: What do you what the state ags right now? It's

587
00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:34,040
Speaker 4: kind of and you guys don't have the staffs I

588
00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:36,040
Speaker 4: think really do this. But now the court, the case

589
00:34:36,040 --> 00:34:39,839
Speaker 4: has been put to you, guys, you're trying to you're

590
00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:43,200
Speaker 4: trying to prosecute this or or or take it forward.

591
00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:46,200
Speaker 4: What are you looking for? You had a settlement with

592
00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:47,840
Speaker 4: the with the US government that I think a lot

593
00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:50,440
Speaker 4: of people would say, well, live nation would consider that

594
00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:54,760
Speaker 4: a massive victory. And here we're hardcoret New York brandician's

595
00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:56,319
Speaker 4: I mean, we want the break up of the whole thing.

596
00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:58,080
Speaker 4: Is the break up a big tech and all of it?

597
00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:01,680
Speaker 4: What do you think I think the objectives are of

598
00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:05,480
Speaker 4: you guys collectively as ags right now in this Liven situation.

599
00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:11,360
Speaker 16: Yeah, I think that there's a number of my colleagues

600
00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:15,839
Speaker 16: that want to see it completely broken up. At the minimum,

601
00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:19,840
Speaker 16: I think that everyone agrees that there needs to be

602
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:26,560
Speaker 16: more guard rails around the way they use their scale

603
00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:32,880
Speaker 16: and their integration in the marketplace. Look, I'm not a

604
00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:36,759
Speaker 16: brandician or a neo brandician for the simple reason that

605
00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:41,360
Speaker 16: I doubt that government is wise enough to make decisions

606
00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:47,320
Speaker 16: about businesses and it concerns me. But putting guardrails around

607
00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:53,120
Speaker 16: unfair competition as a century old accepted practice, part of

608
00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:57,000
Speaker 16: the fabric of our legal system. And while the Justice

609
00:35:57,040 --> 00:36:01,680
Speaker 16: Department may from a macro level be satisfied with the

610
00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:05,759
Speaker 16: settlement that they've negotiated, we out in the States have

611
00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:10,759
Speaker 16: very different priorities. We have direct consumer issues that we

612
00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:13,920
Speaker 16: want to deal with that aren't addressed in our due

613
00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:19,040
Speaker 16: adequately with the federal settlement. And frankly, the different venues

614
00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:23,160
Speaker 16: are dispersed differently among the states. So while nationally the

615
00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:28,920
Speaker 16: DOJ might be happy, the states are rightly concerned about

616
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:31,480
Speaker 16: things that are maybe a little bit more localized than

617
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:33,040
Speaker 16: a national market.

618
00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:37,720
Speaker 4: I know it's always tough to predict on these trials

619
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:39,880
Speaker 4: the length of it, but when do you see this

620
00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:43,840
Speaker 4: playing out both of the trial level and then whatever

621
00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:48,759
Speaker 4: deal that you state attorney generals come and fit into

622
00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:50,840
Speaker 4: the model in your own state that you're comfortable with.

623
00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:52,560
Speaker 4: How long do you see this playing out?

624
00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:58,120
Speaker 16: Well, right now, the trial is going forward, and I

625
00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:01,120
Speaker 16: like this case. This is about as strong an anti

626
00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:05,840
Speaker 16: trust case as I've seen during my professional career, and

627
00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:12,360
Speaker 16: we've got really egregious behavior here. There's a message between

628
00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:18,319
Speaker 16: a couple of executives talking about charging two hundred and

629
00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:21,040
Speaker 16: fifty dollars a slot for VIP parking at a kid

630
00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:25,440
Speaker 16: rock concert, and one of them says, I almost feel bad.

631
00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:30,799
Speaker 16: I almost feel bad about taking advantage.

632
00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:31,200
Speaker 4: Of them like this.

633
00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:35,920
Speaker 16: That kind of hubris, I think is not going to

634
00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:38,879
Speaker 16: sit well with the court at the end of the day.

635
00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:43,920
Speaker 16: I don't know if we win disvestiture that's going to

636
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:47,160
Speaker 16: depend and the law disfavors it, but I think that

637
00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:51,200
Speaker 16: we can get a lot more on the table than

638
00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:55,200
Speaker 16: what we had with the federal settlement, and that's why

639
00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:57,720
Speaker 16: Ohio's sticking to its uns at the moment.

640
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:02,920
Speaker 4: Well, that's the question. Of course, we would love to

641
00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:04,879
Speaker 4: see the divester, but I agree with you that that's

642
00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:06,880
Speaker 4: a I wouldn't say a long shot, but it's not.

643
00:38:07,520 --> 00:38:09,960
Speaker 4: You know, it's not going to be easy. But how

644
00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:13,600
Speaker 4: did the Justice Department? Given you just reiterated what we

645
00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:16,319
Speaker 4: think this is a very strong case. Of course, the

646
00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:20,239
Speaker 4: company fought like crazy not to have these conversations put

647
00:38:20,239 --> 00:38:22,640
Speaker 4: into the record, but you know people kind of knew

648
00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:24,360
Speaker 4: about them once they were put into the record. You

649
00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:26,400
Speaker 4: know how that's going to play in front of a

650
00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:29,160
Speaker 4: jury given the hand that you had, do you have

651
00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:33,279
Speaker 4: any idea understand the Justice Department is overwhelmed with you know,

652
00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:35,480
Speaker 4: the deep state and what they're trying to do on immigration,

653
00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:39,839
Speaker 4: everything templant President Trump's policies, But do you have any

654
00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:43,000
Speaker 4: idea why the just Department essentially took a pass on

655
00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:45,479
Speaker 4: this and you got the guys, the men and women

656
00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:48,720
Speaker 4: at the state level headed then take it on their shoulders.

657
00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:54,719
Speaker 16: Well, look, if we each have our own portfolio. The

658
00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:59,680
Speaker 16: Justice Department, to my knowledge, is tremendously understaffed. They've got

659
00:38:59,719 --> 00:39:04,719
Speaker 16: limited bandwidth, and that's directly at the hands of Chuck

660
00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:13,680
Speaker 16: Schumer and his pals blocking the president's nominees to do justice.

661
00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:17,400
Speaker 16: So I'm not sure that there's that much of a

662
00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:21,000
Speaker 16: disagreement between Ohio and the DOJY. We just simply have

663
00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:24,920
Speaker 16: different things that we're looking for. I don't blame them

664
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:29,600
Speaker 16: for not prioritizing this particular fight any further than the

665
00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:32,400
Speaker 16: concessions that they were able to get that matter at

666
00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:33,320
Speaker 16: a national level.

667
00:39:35,760 --> 00:39:39,359
Speaker 4: Attorney General Dave Yos, there's tremendous focus on this. How

668
00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:41,880
Speaker 4: do people keep up with you that? What website? You

669
00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:45,279
Speaker 4: got to go to people? Really a big part of

670
00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:48,000
Speaker 4: our audience is quite focused on this case for many

671
00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:50,080
Speaker 4: different reasons. Where do they go to keep up with

672
00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:51,239
Speaker 4: your activity on this?

673
00:39:53,080 --> 00:39:57,680
Speaker 16: Well, I personally tweet on or post on X and

674
00:39:58,080 --> 00:40:00,759
Speaker 16: of course we're on all of the play. If you

675
00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:04,560
Speaker 16: just search for it the Attorney General's Office of Ohio,

676
00:40:04,719 --> 00:40:06,600
Speaker 16: you'll find us everywhere.

677
00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:12,360
Speaker 4: Attorney General Yost from the War and Posse, thank you

678
00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:14,600
Speaker 4: very much for pursuing this really appreciate it. We will

679
00:40:14,680 --> 00:40:16,839
Speaker 4: keep up to speed and if anything happens, we'd love

680
00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:21,160
Speaker 4: to have you back on. Appreciate you, sir, Thank you

681
00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:26,799
Speaker 4: for having me Dave Yost from the state of Ohio,

682
00:40:29,160 --> 00:40:34,279
Speaker 4: one of the central states of our MAGA movement right

683
00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:37,400
Speaker 4: there pursuing it. This is going to be a tough one.

684
00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:40,640
Speaker 4: He's right, the divestor the breakup of live ent, which

685
00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:45,279
Speaker 4: I am one million percent for, particularly the ticketmaster part

686
00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:47,120
Speaker 4: of it. If you want to get back to free

687
00:40:47,120 --> 00:40:50,879
Speaker 4: market competition, you gotta do that. Suret commercial break We're

688
00:40:50,920 --> 00:40:52,600
Speaker 4: going to be back to the war and the rumors

689
00:40:52,640 --> 00:41:00,080
Speaker 4: of war next in the world. We originally let's stick down.

690
00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:04,920
Speaker 17: The President has stated that his objectives are to destroy

691
00:41:05,080 --> 00:41:12,640
Speaker 17: Iran's ballistic missile launching capability, their ballistic missile production capability,

692
00:41:13,440 --> 00:41:17,399
Speaker 17: and their navy, the IRGC navy and mind Lank capability.

693
00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:22,640
Speaker 18: So the death and destruction continues, the economic costs the

694
00:41:22,719 --> 00:41:25,360
Speaker 18: United States to Israel, to the Gulf States, and to

695
00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:26,160
Speaker 18: the world.

696
00:41:26,239 --> 00:41:27,320
Speaker 4: Continues to increase.

697
00:41:27,680 --> 00:41:29,480
Speaker 18: So I want to ask you, to the best of

698
00:41:29,480 --> 00:41:32,239
Speaker 18: your knowledge, do you know whether Israel is supportive of

699
00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:34,120
Speaker 18: the President's call to make a deal with Iran?

700
00:41:37,719 --> 00:41:40,160
Speaker 17: I don't know the answer to that. I don't know

701
00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:41,319
Speaker 17: Israel's position on that.

702
00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:45,360
Speaker 18: And to what do you attribute Israel's decision to strike

703
00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:49,759
Speaker 18: Iranian energy infrastructure despite President Trump's call to keep those

704
00:41:49,760 --> 00:41:51,040
Speaker 18: facilities off limits.

705
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:54,120
Speaker 17: I don't have an answer for that.

706
00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:03,760
Speaker 18: So they ignored the president.

707
00:42:04,560 --> 00:42:05,279
Speaker 4: Do you agree with that?

708
00:42:08,040 --> 00:42:12,239
Speaker 17: I'm not privy to any of their deliberations or what

709
00:42:12,400 --> 00:42:16,000
Speaker 17: went into their calculus and launching this.

710
00:42:15,960 --> 00:42:16,760
Speaker 2: Or other attacks.

711
00:42:18,719 --> 00:42:21,080
Speaker 17: I'm not. We are not involved with the in the

712
00:42:21,120 --> 00:42:25,440
Speaker 17: operational element of this. We're providing continuously on a daily basis,

713
00:42:25,480 --> 00:42:28,480
Speaker 17: the intelligence assessments of the events that are occurring.

714
00:42:29,600 --> 00:42:33,120
Speaker 18: And I guess I know the FBI can because they're domestic.

715
00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:36,360
Speaker 18: But can anybody else at the table provide any insight

716
00:42:36,440 --> 00:42:36,759
Speaker 18: into that?

717
00:42:41,680 --> 00:42:43,760
Speaker 19: I guess I'm not sure what the question you're asking,

718
00:42:45,400 --> 00:42:50,240
Speaker 19: Congressman Castro. I guess a couple of things. The goals

719
00:42:50,239 --> 00:42:52,239
Speaker 19: that the presidents set out are clearly defined the D

720
00:42:52,360 --> 00:42:53,799
Speaker 19: and I related those.

721
00:42:54,440 --> 00:42:56,560
Speaker 9: What was not included is a goal.

722
00:42:57,280 --> 00:42:58,279
Speaker 2: Of the US.

723
00:42:58,360 --> 00:43:00,480
Speaker 19: Well, Director, let me start with the painless was not

724
00:43:00,680 --> 00:43:03,719
Speaker 19: with this question? You asked what my change, which I mean.

725
00:43:03,680 --> 00:43:07,360
Speaker 18: Let me reclaim my time. Director, Come on, do you

726
00:43:07,400 --> 00:43:10,400
Speaker 18: know why Israel decided to strike that infrastructure. I wouldn't

727
00:43:10,440 --> 00:43:12,080
Speaker 18: like the fact that the President said it should be

728
00:43:12,120 --> 00:43:12,840
Speaker 18: off limits.

729
00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:18,480
Speaker 9: I wouldn't speak for Israel. And what do you guys know,

730
00:43:18,920 --> 00:43:22,319
Speaker 9: We're at war. What do you guys knowle.

731
00:43:21,440 --> 00:43:24,280
Speaker 1: To take that for the record, Yes, let's hear, thank.

732
00:43:24,120 --> 00:43:27,000
Speaker 14: You, missus Sherman Jordan conrads and with the Gateway Pundit,

733
00:43:27,840 --> 00:43:31,360
Speaker 14: So with this strike yesterday on South far As gas Field,

734
00:43:31,560 --> 00:43:33,600
Speaker 14: you know, if the US didn't know about it or

735
00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:36,200
Speaker 14: didn't approve of it, it kind of seems like a

736
00:43:36,239 --> 00:43:41,920
Speaker 14: trend of Israel apparently pursuing their own objectives over US objectives.

737
00:43:42,760 --> 00:43:44,560
Speaker 14: I'm not sure if you agree with that, but the

738
00:43:44,560 --> 00:43:46,359
Speaker 14: President has said he doesn't want to hit I ran

739
00:43:46,440 --> 00:43:49,879
Speaker 14: the oil infrastructure right now, as you said, the US

740
00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:52,680
Speaker 14: boyd this Oar Park Island oil's nearing one hundred and

741
00:43:52,680 --> 00:43:55,919
Speaker 14: twenty dollars. Why are we helping Israel prosecute this war

742
00:43:55,960 --> 00:43:58,480
Speaker 14: if they're going to pursue their own objectives.

743
00:43:58,600 --> 00:43:59,520
Speaker 9: We hold the cards.

744
00:44:00,640 --> 00:44:05,080
Speaker 8: We have objectives, those objectives are clear, we have allies

745
00:44:05,120 --> 00:44:06,520
Speaker 8: pursuing objectives as well.

746
00:44:07,200 --> 00:44:08,520
Speaker 9: And the truth speaks for itself.

747
00:44:08,560 --> 00:44:11,400
Speaker 8: I mean, President Trump is very clear about that Iran

748
00:44:11,440 --> 00:44:16,080
Speaker 8: has weaponized energy for decades. Israel clearly sent a warning

749
00:44:16,360 --> 00:44:19,720
Speaker 8: and Potus has made it clear, very clear. Iran knows

750
00:44:20,320 --> 00:44:23,720
Speaker 8: when you hit carg Island and you hit military capables

751
00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:25,719
Speaker 8: and capabilities on carg Island, which is the only thing

752
00:44:25,760 --> 00:44:30,239
Speaker 8: we hit, we can hold anything at issue. Anything the

753
00:44:30,320 --> 00:44:32,720
Speaker 8: United States military controls the fate of that country.

754
00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:35,280
Speaker 9: Iran has the ability to make the right choices.

755
00:44:35,640 --> 00:44:40,279
Speaker 8: It should not going forward target air of allies Arab

756
00:44:40,320 --> 00:44:41,840
Speaker 8: countries trying.

757
00:44:41,640 --> 00:44:45,200
Speaker 9: To create pain, the pain that they created themselves. Thank

758
00:44:45,200 --> 00:44:45,879
Speaker 9: you all very much.

759
00:44:48,880 --> 00:44:52,240
Speaker 4: Okay, And by the way, Jordan Conrad's and over Gateway Pundit,

760
00:44:52,840 --> 00:44:59,160
Speaker 4: great question and versus synct Let's say rewind on this

761
00:44:59,200 --> 00:45:01,480
Speaker 4: for a second, because this is quite important. It's very

762
00:45:01,520 --> 00:45:04,920
Speaker 4: important that the war and posse think this through and

763
00:45:05,000 --> 00:45:11,719
Speaker 4: make sure that you come to your own conclusion. But

764
00:45:12,480 --> 00:45:20,360
Speaker 4: in alliances and particularly alliances and war you have you

765
00:45:20,440 --> 00:45:24,080
Speaker 4: don't all go in as kind of equal partners. You

766
00:45:24,200 --> 00:45:27,520
Speaker 4: have a entity that kind of leads and other people follow,

767
00:45:27,840 --> 00:45:31,920
Speaker 4: but you have joint war aims. This is not a

768
00:45:31,960 --> 00:45:35,759
Speaker 4: small thing. This is a big thing, a very big thing.

769
00:45:37,320 --> 00:45:39,640
Speaker 4: Let me go back, as you know, watching the show

770
00:45:39,719 --> 00:45:43,200
Speaker 4: An inflection point in this war took place, what is

771
00:45:43,239 --> 00:45:49,440
Speaker 4: it two saturdays ago when the Israelis against against a

772
00:45:49,560 --> 00:45:53,160
Speaker 4: standing order from the Commander in Chief of the United

773
00:45:53,160 --> 00:45:57,400
Speaker 4: States Military that would be Donald John Trump that no

774
00:45:57,800 --> 00:46:03,200
Speaker 4: oil infrastructure was to be it. This was not a

775
00:46:03,680 --> 00:46:06,080
Speaker 4: this was not a marginal thing. This was central. Why

776
00:46:06,560 --> 00:46:12,239
Speaker 4: because a predicate to this entire operation was an uprising

777
00:46:12,840 --> 00:46:18,680
Speaker 4: of the Iranian people against a murderous dictatorship of Islamic theocracy.

778
00:46:20,960 --> 00:46:24,799
Speaker 4: That it was part of the war plan and was

779
00:46:24,840 --> 00:46:30,239
Speaker 4: stated very succinctly at the start that that is one

780
00:46:30,280 --> 00:46:33,120
Speaker 4: of the many elements that would bring this war to

781
00:46:33,160 --> 00:46:35,880
Speaker 4: a conclusion, and what would be a successful conclusion for

782
00:46:35,960 --> 00:46:38,960
Speaker 4: those that think that freedom for the Persian people is

783
00:46:39,680 --> 00:46:41,439
Speaker 4: central to this. Now, as you know, the war room

784
00:46:41,600 --> 00:46:44,040
Speaker 4: doesn't believe that. But if that can end this and

785
00:46:44,200 --> 00:46:48,520
Speaker 4: end it quicker, of course we're for That line was

786
00:46:48,640 --> 00:46:54,120
Speaker 4: crossed directly in Axios, which is essentially part of the

787
00:46:54,160 --> 00:46:56,560
Speaker 4: Comm's department of the White House. Let's be blunt and

788
00:46:56,680 --> 00:47:01,560
Speaker 4: for the idf between Rabat and Mark caput Go said

789
00:47:01,600 --> 00:47:04,960
Speaker 4: the military command was in shock, and then the next

790
00:47:05,040 --> 00:47:09,040
Speaker 4: day said, hey told the Israelis on a no uncertain

791
00:47:09,120 --> 00:47:12,800
Speaker 4: terms that cannot happen again. We cannot touch any of

792
00:47:12,880 --> 00:47:15,640
Speaker 4: the Iranian infrastructure because we want to be at first

793
00:47:15,640 --> 00:47:18,480
Speaker 4: of all, we want something there to be postwar. Plus

794
00:47:18,560 --> 00:47:22,520
Speaker 4: we want the Iranian people not to kind of organize

795
00:47:22,560 --> 00:47:27,600
Speaker 4: around a Persian nationalist response that it's the West and

796
00:47:27,640 --> 00:47:30,239
Speaker 4: the Arabs against the Persians. That's the last thing we want.

797
00:47:30,280 --> 00:47:33,560
Speaker 4: We still want to help and overthrow this, these the

798
00:47:33,560 --> 00:47:40,480
Speaker 4: theocratic schite demons. Yesterday the President nied States came out

799
00:47:40,520 --> 00:47:44,359
Speaker 4: and said point blank that he didn't you know, he

800
00:47:44,480 --> 00:47:47,960
Speaker 4: was shocked about this, very upset about it. When the Israelis,

801
00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:52,239
Speaker 4: again now way out of their kind of zone into

802
00:47:52,280 --> 00:47:57,719
Speaker 4: the Persian Gulf, attacked this kind of joint field controlled

803
00:47:57,719 --> 00:48:01,319
Speaker 4: by Qatar and the Iranian and I think actually the

804
00:48:01,400 --> 00:48:04,520
Speaker 4: Katari's actually run it in some sort of joint ownership

805
00:48:04,560 --> 00:48:07,720
Speaker 4: because of where it actually fits into the Persian Gulf.

806
00:48:09,600 --> 00:48:11,880
Speaker 4: And then the president came out and said, you know,

807
00:48:11,920 --> 00:48:14,120
Speaker 4: they had this thing. They went back the Iranians. He said,

808
00:48:14,200 --> 00:48:17,400
Speaker 4: under no circumstance can you touch attack anything around but

809
00:48:17,440 --> 00:48:22,480
Speaker 4: particularly Katar. Then it came out that he had approved

810
00:48:22,520 --> 00:48:25,839
Speaker 4: the mission. They came back and said, oh no, no,

811
00:48:25,880 --> 00:48:28,200
Speaker 4: we talked to you. You approve this, you proved this mission.

812
00:48:28,280 --> 00:48:30,920
Speaker 4: I don't think that's something that the commander in chief

813
00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:35,279
Speaker 4: is going to miss. I just don't believe that. And

814
00:48:35,920 --> 00:48:40,799
Speaker 4: you saw we didn't exactly shroud ourselves in glory at

815
00:48:40,840 --> 00:48:44,600
Speaker 4: the Intelligence Committee. Look the nations at war and we

816
00:48:44,680 --> 00:48:49,400
Speaker 4: have operational security, but we have to deal with the

817
00:48:49,400 --> 00:48:53,240
Speaker 4: American people in a very blunt manner. Here short commercial

818
00:48:53,239 --> 00:48:54,560
Speaker 4: break back to the warm in a moment
