WEBVTT - FBI Back on Offense 0:00:00.000 --> 0:00:02.240 All right, news round up in Information Overload hour. Here's 0:00:02.240 --> 0:00:04.160 our toll free telephone number. If you want to be 0:00:04.200 --> 0:00:05.880 a part of the program. It's eight hundred and ninety 0:00:05.880 --> 0:00:08.480 four to one Sean if you want to join us. 0:00:09.119 --> 0:00:12.240 It is a remarkable thing that has happened in the 0:00:12.440 --> 0:00:15.880 in just really the short amount of time, less than 0:00:15.880 --> 0:00:19.599 eighteen months that Donald Trump has been president, and law 0:00:19.600 --> 0:00:23.160 and order has been brought back into this country at 0:00:23.280 --> 0:00:26.239 the highest level. Now, whether this last caller in the 0:00:26.320 --> 0:00:29.720 last half hour talking about ICE or whether we're talking 0:00:29.720 --> 0:00:33.840 about the FBI under Joe Biden, the FBI only got 0:00:33.920 --> 0:00:37.199 in four years four of the ten most wanted on 0:00:37.240 --> 0:00:39.720 the most Wanted list. I mean, these are the worst 0:00:39.760 --> 0:00:44.000 of the worst criminals. Under Cash Bettel, after a little 0:00:44.000 --> 0:00:46.760 over a year in office, we have he's been able 0:00:46.800 --> 0:00:50.800 to apprehend eight of the top ten, eight of them, 0:00:50.960 --> 0:00:53.040 and they're working hard every day. And it gets even 0:00:53.080 --> 0:00:57.720 more interesting than that. They announced Operation Summer Heat two 0:00:57.720 --> 0:01:01.480 point zero today and last year the option led by 0:01:01.560 --> 0:01:07.119 then Deputy director our friend Dan Pongino, and they resulted 0:01:07.160 --> 0:01:10.640 in eight thousand, six hundred and twenty nine arrest twy 0:01:10.760 --> 0:01:13.520 two hundred and eighty one firearms seiz five hundred and 0:01:13.600 --> 0:01:17.880 fifty seven children that were identified and saved, seven seven 0:01:18.000 --> 0:01:22.600 hundred and fifty seven search operations, four hundred and twenty 0:01:22.640 --> 0:01:27.480 one kilograms of fentanyl seized, forty four thousand, five hundred 0:01:27.520 --> 0:01:32.640 and sixty nine kilograms of cocaines seized, two thousand and 0:01:32.720 --> 0:01:36.120 eighty one criminal indictments as well. I mean, it is 0:01:36.480 --> 0:01:39.040 remarkable what they've been able to do and what they've 0:01:39.040 --> 0:01:42.720 been able to pull off, but the mainstream legacy media 0:01:42.760 --> 0:01:45.399 will never report it. It is so frustrating to me. 0:01:46.680 --> 0:01:50.520 Now joining us is the director of the FBI, Cash 0:01:50.520 --> 0:01:55.559 Betello's with us. You have news out today Operation turf 0:01:55.920 --> 0:01:58.360 War and a press conference that you had. Can you 0:01:58.400 --> 0:01:59.960 explain this to what's going on? And by the way, 0:02:00.120 --> 0:02:02.000 a great job for you and all the rank and 0:02:02.040 --> 0:02:04.280 file agents that are working so hard. 0:02:05.200 --> 0:02:07.000 Sean, thanks so much and it's great to be back 0:02:07.040 --> 0:02:10.560 with you. Look, last year under Bongino, we let operations 0:02:10.600 --> 0:02:15.160 Summer Heat because what was plaguing our communities the most notorious, 0:02:15.360 --> 0:02:20.200 violent localized street gangs in every single town in America, 0:02:20.560 --> 0:02:23.480 urban and rural. And you just rattled off the statistics 0:02:23.480 --> 0:02:26.560 that were so successful in Operation summer heat last year, 0:02:26.600 --> 0:02:28.480 so we decided to double down and do it again 0:02:28.520 --> 0:02:30.880 this summer, and we lost it. Yesterday in West Virginia 0:02:30.960 --> 0:02:34.959 with Operation Turf War, we took down thirty six individuals 0:02:35.080 --> 0:02:38.919 in a tri state operation sweeping guns and drugs off 0:02:38.919 --> 0:02:41.480 the street. To show the American public that we don't 0:02:41.520 --> 0:02:43.760 just do it from New York City, in Chicago and LA. 0:02:43.880 --> 0:02:46.000 We come out to your communities. We work with our 0:02:46.040 --> 0:02:49.120 interagency partners in state and local police, the brave warriors 0:02:49.120 --> 0:02:51.080 of law enforcement on the front line with the FBI 0:02:51.960 --> 0:02:55.000 to safeguard our children. When I'm so glad you're covering this, 0:02:55.120 --> 0:02:57.800 because now we're taking summer heat two point zero to 0:02:57.919 --> 0:03:00.840 every town in America once again, and we are going 0:03:00.919 --> 0:03:04.520 to replicate, if not increase our successful operations from last 0:03:04.560 --> 0:03:07.240 year and get even more guns and drugs off the street. 0:03:07.280 --> 0:03:09.800 And now we had even more animals who are committing 0:03:09.800 --> 0:03:12.840 these horrific acts of violence and crime and drugs, and 0:03:12.919 --> 0:03:16.840 especially those harming our children. But behind every statistic you name, Sean, 0:03:16.960 --> 0:03:18.720 just think about it, and you know this, it's a 0:03:18.800 --> 0:03:21.480 kid saved, it's a child that gets go to college. 0:03:21.720 --> 0:03:23.600 It's a community that's safeguard and they get to go 0:03:23.680 --> 0:03:25.680 to their places of worship and to go to their 0:03:25.720 --> 0:03:28.720 homes at night and go to sleep in peace. It 0:03:28.800 --> 0:03:32.800 is drugs off the street permanently. It is less shootings, 0:03:32.840 --> 0:03:36.240 twenty percent less homicide this last year, and that's the 0:03:36.280 --> 0:03:39.000 lowest drop and murder since nineteen seventeen. And that's all 0:03:39.040 --> 0:03:42.000 because President Donald Trump is leading the charge of backing 0:03:42.280 --> 0:03:42.880 the Blue. 0:03:43.320 --> 0:03:45.160 And I want to be very clear that this is 0:03:45.200 --> 0:03:48.720 not just a summer operation. You had the FBI Operation 0:03:48.920 --> 0:03:53.440 Spring Cleaning, crushing violent crime. You had nearly fifteen hundred 0:03:53.520 --> 0:03:58.320 joint operations, nearly twelve hundred arrests, six hundred and fifteen 0:03:58.360 --> 0:04:03.520 criminal indictments, eighty six search warrants, nearly a thousand firearms seas, 0:04:03.640 --> 0:04:08.000 cocaine seas, the massive levels same event. Also, it's ongoing now. 0:04:08.080 --> 0:04:12.080 I'm not sure if I'm allowed to ask you about 0:04:12.120 --> 0:04:15.520 what the FBI did yesterday. It has not gotten a 0:04:15.560 --> 0:04:20.120 lot of press yet, but there was a huge success 0:04:20.200 --> 0:04:24.840 by the FBI. And what you're able to tell us, 0:04:24.880 --> 0:04:26.599 I'll just hand it off to you and let you 0:04:26.600 --> 0:04:28.960 put it in your own words, because I know this 0:04:29.040 --> 0:04:30.280 is a continuing operation. 0:04:31.080 --> 0:04:35.680 Well, look, you're right, we're not stopping. These operations are continuous, 0:04:35.680 --> 0:04:39.480 but some of the most tactically sound work this FBI 0:04:39.600 --> 0:04:42.520 does is led by our hostage rescue team, our elite 0:04:42.560 --> 0:04:45.839 tier one tactical operators who are on the insertion force 0:04:46.120 --> 0:04:48.000 for the Maduro raid and in the gunfight and on 0:04:48.040 --> 0:04:51.000 the ground and on the extraction force. That's what HRT does. 0:04:51.279 --> 0:04:54.240 Think of them as your special forces community for law enforcement. 0:04:54.600 --> 0:04:58.400 And yesterday there was a hostage situation in Bakersfield, California, 0:04:58.480 --> 0:05:01.760 where an individual strapped a bomb to himself, walked into 0:05:01.760 --> 0:05:05.640 a school office and held ten people hostage in the 0:05:05.640 --> 0:05:09.000 middle of the night, literally shot. We dispatched our hostage 0:05:09.040 --> 0:05:12.200 rescue team from the East Coast, flew them to California. 0:05:12.720 --> 0:05:15.880 They secured the facility with state and local law enforcement 0:05:15.920 --> 0:05:17.880 and one hundred and fifty FBI personnel on the ground, 0:05:18.080 --> 0:05:20.640 and in the middle of the night, a hostage rescue 0:05:20.640 --> 0:05:24.839 team for the FBI breached that office, shut down the individual, 0:05:25.279 --> 0:05:29.960 put him down, and saved every single hostages life there. 0:05:31.360 --> 0:05:34.160 Well, I'm going to tell you something. These are things 0:05:34.160 --> 0:05:36.719 that are happening every day. You know, to the extent 0:05:36.760 --> 0:05:38.600 that you can tie this together. And when you were 0:05:38.640 --> 0:05:40.560 on my podcast, and if people haven't seen it, I 0:05:40.640 --> 0:05:43.760 urged people watch my podcast. I did one with you, 0:05:43.800 --> 0:05:45.640 I did one with Dan Bongino, I did one with 0:05:45.680 --> 0:05:49.400 Todd Blnche. And we're getting to the bottom of the 0:05:49.440 --> 0:05:52.799 weaponization of the Department of Justice FBI under the heading 0:05:52.800 --> 0:05:57.880 of the DOJ. And you know the fact that that 0:05:58.320 --> 0:06:03.800 it's not politicized in your FBI or the Attorney General's office, 0:06:04.160 --> 0:06:07.640 and that we're back to the basics, the fundamentals keeping 0:06:08.040 --> 0:06:12.600 our cities and towns safe and secure, maintaining law and order, 0:06:12.640 --> 0:06:16.000 and Tom Holman doing his part in his position, which 0:06:16.040 --> 0:06:20.480 is a thankless task after Biden, Harris mayorcus it is. 0:06:20.520 --> 0:06:23.799 There's so much good that has been accomplished in part, 0:06:24.000 --> 0:06:27.719 is it not? In part? I should ask, because you're 0:06:27.720 --> 0:06:33.080 not focused on going after political opponents or people you 0:06:33.200 --> 0:06:36.720 disagree with, although the Grand Conspiracy investigation is a very 0:06:36.720 --> 0:06:37.599 real investigation. 0:06:38.480 --> 0:06:40.320 Yeah, I mean, and I agree with you. We had 0:06:40.320 --> 0:06:41.640 a great sit down, so if you want to hear 0:06:41.680 --> 0:06:44.080 about the Grand Conspiracy, we gave you the exclusive in 0:06:44.120 --> 0:06:45.640 that podcast, and it was a lot of fun to 0:06:45.680 --> 0:06:47.760 hang out with you down there in South Sword and 0:06:47.839 --> 0:06:50.880 a lot of details were discussed there But here's the 0:06:50.920 --> 0:06:53.360 most important thing. When I was nominated by President Trump 0:06:53.800 --> 0:06:57.000 to take on the top law enforcement officer job in 0:06:57.040 --> 0:07:02.320 the country is simply this, remove the fangs of weaponization. 0:07:03.040 --> 0:07:06.040 We open investigations based on the facts and the law, 0:07:06.279 --> 0:07:08.920 and we don't care who the target is. We don't 0:07:08.960 --> 0:07:11.600 consider what the reverse of it would be. Oh, we 0:07:11.640 --> 0:07:13.600 can't go after so and so because they're X and Y. 0:07:13.920 --> 0:07:16.880 We'll take down the SPLC. We'll take down corrupt public 0:07:16.880 --> 0:07:19.240 officials like we've done coast to coast. We'll take them 0:07:19.240 --> 0:07:21.000 down for being in bed with China, like we did 0:07:21.040 --> 0:07:23.720 in southern California, an elected mayor. She's now out of 0:07:23.720 --> 0:07:28.200 office and getting locked up. We have also taken accounting 0:07:28.280 --> 0:07:31.080 of our own. The American public loss trust in the 0:07:31.160 --> 0:07:36.120 FBI be at record levels because prior administrations were weaponizing it. 0:07:36.360 --> 0:07:40.080 We're illegally surveilling political opponents and anyone that doesn't know 0:07:40.160 --> 0:07:42.440 enough about Russia Gate needs to go on and listen 0:07:42.440 --> 0:07:44.760 to your podcast and you're sure more often and we 0:07:44.800 --> 0:07:48.560 are holding our sales accountable. If you participated in weaponization 0:07:48.680 --> 0:07:51.640 politicization of government, you don't get to work here anymore. 0:07:51.880 --> 0:07:53.880 And that's why when I see headlines in the mainstream 0:07:53.920 --> 0:07:55.880 media that are so baseless thing we're getting rid of 0:07:55.920 --> 0:07:59.920 and terminating people without cause. The only thing we do 0:08:00.000 --> 0:08:02.880 to terminate people for cause because they failed to live 0:08:02.960 --> 0:08:05.119 up to the standards that I demand of every single 0:08:05.160 --> 0:08:08.720 one of my thirty six thousand employees. We are ending weaponization, 0:08:09.080 --> 0:08:11.720 and we are holding the people who weaponize government and 0:08:11.800 --> 0:08:16.400 law enforcements specifically actually accountable externally and internally. 0:08:17.160 --> 0:08:19.000 You know you just said something. I don't think people 0:08:19.040 --> 0:08:23.240 really realize. With all the statistics that we've laid out 0:08:23.280 --> 0:08:26.680 here and getting eight of the ten most wanted in 0:08:26.720 --> 0:08:29.600 this country, and Biden only got four in four years, 0:08:30.080 --> 0:08:33.480 and moving at the speed of light to do all this, 0:08:35.240 --> 0:08:39.400 it is remarkable that there's hardly ever ever And I've 0:08:39.400 --> 0:08:41.320 known you a long time, and this is not based 0:08:41.320 --> 0:08:45.280 on friendship. This is just based on statistics and facts 0:08:45.320 --> 0:08:49.760 and results. You would think that the country would celebrate 0:08:49.840 --> 0:08:53.560 this great success, because I do contend, and I say 0:08:53.559 --> 0:08:57.480 it often that if you want to pursue happiness, the 0:08:57.559 --> 0:09:01.320 prerequisite for that is you must have law and order 0:09:01.440 --> 0:09:04.880 and safety and security. And half of Americans right now 0:09:04.960 --> 0:09:08.000 cash they don't feel safe, in large part because of 0:09:08.040 --> 0:09:11.360 what happened the previous four years under Biden, Harris may Orcus. 0:09:12.720 --> 0:09:15.040 And look when I travel around the country and I 0:09:15.080 --> 0:09:18.840 meet with folks from coast to coast, what they're coming 0:09:18.920 --> 0:09:20.640 up to me and telling me is they have never 0:09:20.679 --> 0:09:23.559 seen law enforcement do the job so effectively as they 0:09:23.600 --> 0:09:25.640 have since Donald Trump came back in the office. 0:09:25.760 --> 0:09:26.319 And you're right. 0:09:27.240 --> 0:09:30.719 Just take the following free statistics. Dropping the murder rate 0:09:30.800 --> 0:09:35.760 twenty points in one year, dropping opiate overdose sets twenty 0:09:35.880 --> 0:09:39.560 points in one year, and every single state has seen 0:09:39.559 --> 0:09:43.400 a reduction on average in violent crime by ten points. 0:09:43.760 --> 0:09:47.320 Those would be headline banner news any individual one of 0:09:47.320 --> 0:09:50.559 those if we're achieved under a different administration. But because 0:09:50.559 --> 0:09:53.800 it's President Trump delivering these results along with his FBI 0:09:53.840 --> 0:09:56.680 and Attorney General Todd Blanche and DOJ and their prosecutors, 0:09:56.840 --> 0:09:58.960 they don't want to talk about it. So we know 0:09:59.040 --> 0:10:02.079 we're making the work happened, and we know the Americans 0:10:02.080 --> 0:10:04.679 are coming back and saying, the fbizers credibility has been 0:10:04.679 --> 0:10:07.680 restored because you're going after the bad guys. You're going 0:10:07.720 --> 0:10:10.560 after the abbey Gate bomber. We got him in two weeks. 0:10:10.400 --> 0:10:12.400 He wasn't even on the top ten. It wasn't even 0:10:12.440 --> 0:10:14.040 enough time to put him on the top ten, and 0:10:14.080 --> 0:10:15.400 we got him in the first two weeks of the 0:10:15.440 --> 0:10:18.560 ADMIN and then we got guys like the Bengazi attack 0:10:18.640 --> 0:10:22.080 suspect brought him back too, along with Ryan Wedding down 0:10:22.120 --> 0:10:26.360 in Mexico and countless others gangbangers, narco traffickers, murderers, rapists, 0:10:26.440 --> 0:10:28.640 and if you harm our children, we're coming after you. 0:10:29.440 --> 0:10:33.240 We've we've netted more more arrests in these last fourteen 0:10:33.280 --> 0:10:36.920 months for the offenders of violent, violent crimes against children 0:10:37.520 --> 0:10:40.160 than ever before in the history of the United States. 0:10:40.520 --> 0:10:42.160 You do not get to prey on our kids in 0:10:42.160 --> 0:10:44.240 person or online. We will hunt you down. 0:10:44.400 --> 0:10:47.320 All right, quick break more with the FBI Director Cash 0:10:47.360 --> 0:10:49.360 Mattel on the other side, than your calls are coming up. 0:10:49.400 --> 0:10:51.560 Eight hundred and nine foot one, Seawn our number.

But we continue with FBI 0:11:42.800 --> 0:11:46.440 Director Cash Bettel.

I 0:12:07.080 --> 0:12:10.120 always made a distinction when I was covering Russia, Russia, 0:12:10.200 --> 0:12:14.320 Russia between rank and file, the people that would put 0:12:14.320 --> 0:12:16.280 their life on the line to save all of us, 0:12:16.360 --> 0:12:21.080 every American citizen. They I admire them there. They're heroes 0:12:21.120 --> 0:12:25.120 to me. And the most remarkable part of the story 0:12:25.480 --> 0:12:29.000 is everything that I spent four years plus really eleven 0:12:29.480 --> 0:12:33.839 of my life reporting on about Russia Gate and a 0:12:33.960 --> 0:12:38.400 dirty dossier and WESA abuse and you know, deleted emails 0:12:38.400 --> 0:12:42.920 and bleach pit, all of it, that some honorable FBI 0:12:43.400 --> 0:12:47.280 agent that was supposed to burn evidence related to all 0:12:47.320 --> 0:12:51.240 of this put it in a safe room in the 0:12:51.320 --> 0:12:55.800 FBI headquarters and you guys found it and they put 0:12:55.920 --> 0:12:58.720 a lot of what they did in writing. I want 0:12:58.720 --> 0:13:00.360 you to just clarify that and then pe book can 0:13:00.360 --> 0:13:01.840 watch the podcast for more detail. 0:13:02.320 --> 0:13:04.199 Yeah. Look, the one thing I learned from spearheading the 0:13:04.240 --> 0:13:06.800 Russia Gate investigation way back in the day on Houseintel, 0:13:06.800 --> 0:13:10.600 that you covered so brilliantly when others wouldn't, was the 0:13:10.640 --> 0:13:13.440 former leadership of this place, the Comby's and mccaves of 0:13:13.480 --> 0:13:17.360 the world. They were so arrogant and the stocks and 0:13:17.400 --> 0:13:19.360 the pages of the world that they wrote down their 0:13:19.400 --> 0:13:21.800 own arrogance. And we caught them doing it in lying 0:13:21.840 --> 0:13:24.960 to affive the court just for political purposes and literally 0:13:25.000 --> 0:13:27.520 break in the law. And I knew that they had 0:13:27.559 --> 0:13:29.520 left the same trail here. And there's more than some 0:13:29.559 --> 0:13:31.640 good there's a lot of good people at this FBI. 0:13:31.840 --> 0:13:34.680 I've wiped out the entire leadership cadre, replaced all my 0:13:34.720 --> 0:13:37.240 field leaders in, every single person at headquarters. It is 0:13:37.280 --> 0:13:39.839 a new brand of the FBI from agents that wanted 0:13:39.840 --> 0:13:41.720 to get out there and crush filing crime and defend 0:13:41.720 --> 0:13:44.600 the homeland. And that's exactly what we're doing. We're deflating 0:13:44.640 --> 0:13:48.240 and decreasing and eliminating the bureaucracy. We put fifteen hundred 0:13:48.360 --> 0:13:51.760 FBI people permanently into the field and out of Washington, DC. 0:13:52.240 --> 0:13:55.520 This operation is headquartered in Washington, DC, but it takes 0:13:55.559 --> 0:13:58.199 place on the streets of America. And that's what we're doing. 0:13:58.360 --> 0:14:00.439 And we did it with the Burnback situation, and we're 0:14:00.440 --> 0:14:02.880 in the middle of that case and investigation as you know. 0:14:03.400 --> 0:14:06.320 And yeah, your listeners should take a look at that. 0:14:06.880 --> 0:14:09.120 Toorney General Todd Blanche sit down and might sit down 0:14:09.120 --> 0:14:11.000 with you, because we went into great detail that we 0:14:11.000 --> 0:14:14.640 had never publicized, and unfortunately we can't jump into all 0:14:14.640 --> 0:14:17.320 of it now. But I was one of those people, 0:14:17.960 --> 0:14:21.280 along with President so many others that were illegally, unlawfully 0:14:21.400 --> 0:14:26.040 surveilled or subpoenaed or searched for political reasons. And I'll 0:14:26.120 --> 0:14:29.240 leave you with this, Sean, if what we're doing isn't working, 0:14:29.400 --> 0:14:32.280 as so many on Capitol Hill scream about, then how 0:14:32.360 --> 0:14:35.320 have we seen the most historic reduction in crime in 0:14:35.360 --> 0:14:37.560 the history of the United States of America in the 0:14:37.600 --> 0:14:39.000 last fifteen months. 0:14:39.600 --> 0:14:42.880 You know, it really is refreshing when people actually are 0:14:42.880 --> 0:14:45.520 committed to doing the best job they can. You know, 0:14:45.760 --> 0:14:47.760 I used to refer to Director Ray and I said, 0:14:47.760 --> 0:14:51.440 after mister Higher Honor James Colemy was Director, my hope 0:14:51.560 --> 0:14:56.280 was he would restore the FBI to his former greatness, 0:14:56.840 --> 0:14:59.960 but it took you getting that position to make that happen, 0:15:00.080 --> 0:15:03.120 and these numbers are incredible. You deserve a lot of 0:15:03.160 --> 0:15:05.600 accolades for all the hard work you and your agents 0:15:05.640 --> 0:15:07.640 are doing, and please keep up the great work. 0:15:08.160 --> 0:15:09.920 Thanks Shawan, It's always great to be with you. Thanks 0:15:09.920 --> 0:15:11.600 for covering the real work of the FBI. 0:15:12.360 --> 0:15:15.800 All I appreciate it. FBI Director Cash Bettel. 0:15:32.080 --> 0:15:38.240 Exposing the Pelosi Party's chaos and corruption all day, every day. 0:15:38.920 --> 0:15:41.720 This is the Sean Hannity. 0:15:41.360 --> 0:15:47.280 Show, all right. I am tired of lies. I am 0:15:47.320 --> 0:15:50.280 tired of conspiracy theories. I am tired of people that 0:15:50.360 --> 0:15:53.640 don't know what the hell they're even talking about, that 0:15:53.760 --> 0:15:57.680 don't have anywhere near the sources that yours truly has. 0:15:57.880 --> 0:16:01.800 And this is not me bragging. This is me doing 0:16:02.280 --> 0:16:05.000 my job, basically, and you shouldn't get a pat on 0:16:05.000 --> 0:16:09.160 the back for doing your job. To a fault, I 0:16:09.200 --> 0:16:12.840 have spoken with the people that would know that will 0:16:12.880 --> 0:16:15.720 talk to me, and there are many of them. I've 0:16:15.720 --> 0:16:18.480 known a lot of people in the Trump administration for decades, 0:16:19.120 --> 0:16:23.480 including President Trump himself, and to a fault, there is 0:16:23.600 --> 0:16:28.280 no deviation from their analysis that what the President did 0:16:28.680 --> 0:16:33.040 and is doing with Iran. Operation Midnight Hammer, Operation Epic 0:16:33.120 --> 0:16:38.880 Fury was in America's interest, It was vital, and they 0:16:38.920 --> 0:16:42.800 all pretty much used the same term that the President 0:16:43.000 --> 0:16:45.920 had no choice. Now I think we have the definitive 0:16:45.920 --> 0:16:50.600 interview with Steve Whitkoff. The Iranians acknowledged they have, you know, 0:16:50.720 --> 0:16:56.520 the foreigner in sixty kilograms of enriched uranium at sixty percent. 0:16:57.040 --> 0:17:00.920 They rejected civilian use uranium for free oppetuity is part 0:17:00.920 --> 0:17:02.640 of the deal they were trying to make early on. 0:17:03.200 --> 0:17:06.240 That tells me that they want a nuclear weapon. Okay, 0:17:06.359 --> 0:17:09.679 the President had no choice. The President's standing firm on 0:17:09.760 --> 0:17:13.119 the nuclear question. He knows deep in his heart that 0:17:13.200 --> 0:17:18.040 you can't allow you know, Islamo fascists and fanatics and 0:17:18.080 --> 0:17:20.919 a death cult to have nuclear weapons. You think the 0:17:21.000 --> 0:17:23.200 problems in the straight or Horn moves are bad, now 0:17:23.840 --> 0:17:26.439 imagine a nuclear armed durand they would be far worse. 0:17:27.240 --> 0:17:30.520 And yeah, have we partnered with one of the greatest 0:17:30.520 --> 0:17:34.440 military mites on the planet. I think we'd number one. 0:17:34.480 --> 0:17:37.639 I think Israel is number two, and we have a 0:17:37.680 --> 0:17:41.000 great relationship. Israel's never had a greater friend in that 0:17:41.119 --> 0:17:45.280 Oval office than Donald J. Trump and anyway, it's frustrating 0:17:45.359 --> 0:17:48.280 to read the lies. It's frustrating to hear the lies 0:17:48.760 --> 0:17:51.680 that the Intel did in back this. Whoever says that 0:17:52.200 --> 0:17:54.479 know that when they say it, they are lying to you. 0:17:55.160 --> 0:18:00.159 When people say that Israel caused Donald Trump to make 0:18:00.200 --> 0:18:03.640 this move, they are lying to you. Prime Minister net 0:18:03.640 --> 0:18:08.040 and Yahoom forced President Trump's hand, They are lying to you. 0:18:09.240 --> 0:18:12.880 Fox News hosts like Mark Levin and Sean Hannity that 0:18:12.920 --> 0:18:16.159 they're the ones that influenced the president. They are lying 0:18:16.200 --> 0:18:18.840 to you. And I'm just getting sick and tired of 0:18:18.840 --> 0:18:24.600 all of it now. Today, Congress Been Marlon Stutzman Indiana 0:18:24.680 --> 0:18:30.440 introduced a House resolution to transition the US Israel relationship 0:18:30.480 --> 0:18:34.480 away from one of traditional foreign assistants towards a new 0:18:34.520 --> 0:18:38.879 era of mutual cooperation, joint investment in shared development. I 0:18:39.040 --> 0:18:42.359 like the idea. They're one of our best, closest, most 0:18:42.400 --> 0:18:45.719 reliable allies. We learned in this whole conflict. Don't ever 0:18:45.840 --> 0:18:48.359 count on Europe. What I've been saying about Europe as 0:18:48.400 --> 0:18:51.879 a continent in a precipitous decline that's been going on 0:18:52.000 --> 0:18:58.600 forever Israel. But Israel has been a loyal partner of 0:18:58.680 --> 0:19:01.840 this country, and we have done the world of favor 0:19:02.240 --> 0:19:06.560 this this uniting this force of Israel in the US. Anyway, 0:19:06.560 --> 0:19:09.040 I just wanted to get a quick update from Congressman 0:19:09.119 --> 0:19:11.680 Stutsman as to what this is actually all about. And 0:19:11.760 --> 0:19:13.320 have you talked to the president about it? 0:19:13.359 --> 0:19:16.000 Sir yeah, Sean, great to talk to you. Thanks for 0:19:16.040 --> 0:19:16.600 having me on. 0:19:16.640 --> 0:19:16.800 You know. 0:19:16.880 --> 0:19:19.240 This is by the way, am I Is there anything 0:19:19.280 --> 0:19:20.440 I said that's not true? 0:19:20.880 --> 0:19:21.080 No? 0:19:21.280 --> 0:19:25.360 Is the intelligence warrant that the President had no choice 0:19:25.760 --> 0:19:30.000 but to to prevent a ran from having a nuclear weapon, 0:19:30.040 --> 0:19:30.640 he had to act. 0:19:30.640 --> 0:19:33.800 When he did, No, he absolutely did the right thing, 0:19:33.840 --> 0:19:37.840 and he acted according to the intelligence that told us 0:19:37.880 --> 0:19:42.600 all along, even back last summer when Operation Midnight Hammer 0:19:42.680 --> 0:19:45.600 took place and the two you know, the bunker buster 0:19:45.720 --> 0:19:48.400 bombs went in and did a tremendous amount of damage. 0:19:48.520 --> 0:19:50.480 But this is what people need to realize, is that 0:19:50.560 --> 0:19:53.840 the IRGC, as you described them, as a death cult. 0:19:54.280 --> 0:19:58.000 These guys will fight to the death for their religious beliefs. 0:19:58.359 --> 0:20:01.879 These guys are hard to togo. That's why these negotiations 0:20:01.920 --> 0:20:05.439 are difficult. That President Trump is navigating some of the 0:20:05.440 --> 0:20:09.480 most difficult waters. This is the leading state sponsor of 0:20:09.560 --> 0:20:13.399 terrorism in the world. And this is Iran, folks, this 0:20:13.480 --> 0:20:17.640 is the IRGC that we're dealing with here, and it's 0:20:17.680 --> 0:20:20.600 the head of the snake. And so Congressman ab Hamada 0:20:20.640 --> 0:20:23.520 and I we were in Israel last week meeting with 0:20:23.600 --> 0:20:26.960 Prime Minister Benjamin net and Yahoo and Prime Minister net 0:20:27.080 --> 0:20:31.600 Yahu had nothing but thanks to to President Trump, to 0:20:31.720 --> 0:20:36.240 our military, to our administration, to the American people for 0:20:36.359 --> 0:20:39.440 what we're doing right now and going after the leading 0:20:39.480 --> 0:20:42.240 state sponsor of terrorism. And so when these people get 0:20:42.280 --> 0:20:45.560 caught up in this propaganda, they need to realize that 0:20:45.560 --> 0:20:50.240 they're they're eating into the machine that's trying to divide 0:20:50.320 --> 0:20:54.280 the United States against ourselves, and that way we don't 0:20:54.320 --> 0:20:56.840 go after the real evil that's in this country. 0:20:57.480 --> 0:21:01.800 Well, this is a very little moment, and I think 0:21:01.840 --> 0:21:05.200 the wisdom of President Trump, but I think he's used 0:21:05.200 --> 0:21:09.960 three historical events, He's learned from three He's learned three 0:21:10.040 --> 0:21:12.720 lessons from history. In the last century, over one hundred 0:21:12.800 --> 0:21:18.440 million souls died because of maw China, Stalin Russia, Hitler, Germany, 0:21:19.320 --> 0:21:23.560 Mussolini fascism, Tojo Japan, pol Pot, the killing fields. In 0:21:23.600 --> 0:21:26.240 other words, learn the lesson if you can negate or 0:21:26.320 --> 0:21:30.360 neutralize the threat early, do it, don't wait. I think 0:21:30.400 --> 0:21:32.399 the President learned that lesson. I think he learned the 0:21:32.440 --> 0:21:35.240 lesson of Ronald Reagan, and that is peace through strength. 0:21:35.760 --> 0:21:38.399 I think he also, and this will be proven true, 0:21:38.800 --> 0:21:41.600 has learned the lesson that you can't have forever wars 0:21:41.840 --> 0:21:46.080 and American boots on the ground in in perpetuity, stepping 0:21:46.119 --> 0:21:50.760 over ied after ied. And I think he's applied all 0:21:50.800 --> 0:21:52.840 of that to his America First principles. 0:21:53.359 --> 0:21:55.800 That's absolutely right. And you know, if there are two 0:21:55.880 --> 0:22:00.000 nations that are standing together against totalitarianism and for freedom, 0:22:00.440 --> 0:22:02.719 it's the United States and it's Israel. I mean you 0:22:02.760 --> 0:22:05.240 mentioned this earlier with Europe. You know, most people we 0:22:05.240 --> 0:22:08.560 would say, well, who's the United States's greatest ally today 0:22:08.880 --> 0:22:10.800 we used to say great Britain. You know, maybe we 0:22:10.800 --> 0:22:14.879 would say other countries in Europe. But today it's Israel. 0:22:15.119 --> 0:22:19.439 And it's incredible to me being there. The country is 0:22:19.560 --> 0:22:23.400 growing economically, there's around ten million people that now live 0:22:23.440 --> 0:22:27.080 in the country. There is they're approaching a trillion dollars 0:22:27.119 --> 0:22:30.240 in GDP. And that's what Prime Minister net Yahoo said 0:22:30.280 --> 0:22:33.880 about our supplement that we give to Israel of three 0:22:33.960 --> 0:22:35.920 point eight billion every year. He said, you know what, 0:22:36.280 --> 0:22:38.119 we can stand on our own two feet. We are 0:22:38.160 --> 0:22:41.280 a strong country. We want to do this on our 0:22:41.280 --> 0:22:44.280 own and that way people stop using it as a 0:22:44.280 --> 0:22:48.000 as leverage against Israel. And he said, what he'd rather 0:22:48.119 --> 0:22:51.480 see is a trade agreement and a defense agreement. And 0:22:51.600 --> 0:22:54.800 that's where That's what my resolution does, is that it's 0:22:54.840 --> 0:22:58.160
