It's take a 5 00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,160 Speaker 1: peek there. Early they were a week They bounced back 6 00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:15,080 Speaker 1: just a little bit. The dows are gonna end up 7 00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:17,520 Speaker 1: around two hundred points lower on the day. We're gonna 8 00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:21,439 Speaker 1: look at SMP down about twenty or so plus or minus. 9 00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:26,800 Speaker 1: NASDAK down seventy three, not a big big number for Nasdaq. 10 00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:28,240 Speaker 1: Would jump over to some of the other things to 11 00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:30,920 Speaker 1: talk about oil. Oil down to dollar forty five. There's 12 00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:33,720 Speaker 1: some good news right there. Down dollar forty five, that's 13 00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:36,760 Speaker 1: sixty two dollars a barrel approaching about to break sixty two. 14 00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:39,920 Speaker 1: That's on the downside. That's great news. Gold always strung. 15 00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:43,120 Speaker 1: Here's what happened this morning. This morning, the job's number 16 00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:46,200 Speaker 1: came out, the big labor department number Beer of Labor 17 00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:49,920 Speaker 1: Statistics came out. Showed twenty two thousand jobs created last month, 18 00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:53,400 Speaker 1: far below it is expected. Seventy five thousand were expected. 19 00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:56,920 Speaker 1: Came out twenty two thousand. I will tell you reporters 20 00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:58,680 Speaker 1: were calling me all day saying, what do you think 21 00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:01,760 Speaker 1: of this horrible number? And I will tell them. They'll 22 00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:03,920 Speaker 1: tell you exactly what I told them. I've been doing this, 23 00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:06,160 Speaker 1: bet are part of thirty years, whether it's on TV 24 00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:09,280 Speaker 1: or on Wall Street. The Bureau of Labor Statistics is 25 00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:14,080 Speaker 1: one of the easiest places to fudge statistics. It's horrible 26 00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:18,639 Speaker 1: science at best, it's political at worst. I don't trust 27 00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:20,240 Speaker 1: any of the numbers that come out of the BLS. 28 00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:22,480 Speaker 1: Not because it was bad and it was Trump's I've 29 00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:24,960 Speaker 1: never trusted go back to my history at Fox. I've 30 00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:27,360 Speaker 1: never trusted those numbers. They need a better way to 31 00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:32,240 Speaker 1: compile the monthly jobs numbers. Right now you're calling different 32 00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:34,840 Speaker 1: services and ask them how many people are employing or 33 00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:38,679 Speaker 1: hiring and not hiring. It's really it's a moving target. 34 00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:40,560 Speaker 1: It's terrible, so I don't put a lot of credence 35 00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,800 Speaker 1: in it. Also, I will tell you immediately. Kevin Hassett 36 00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:48,240 Speaker 1: came out and said we will expect a revision next month, 37 00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:50,280 Speaker 1: which is a problem for me, folks. I'm going to 38 00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:52,680 Speaker 1: be straight up with you. I told these reporters as 39 00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:54,640 Speaker 1: bad as it is, the way we compile the numbers. 40 00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:57,440 Speaker 1: Even worse is trying to predict how they're going to 41 00:01:57,440 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 1: fix the numbers unless you know something that we don't know, 42 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:01,440 Speaker 1: which we'd all like to know, because we have a 43 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:03,120 Speaker 1: lot of money on the line, A lot of us do, 44 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:06,400 Speaker 1: and you do too. Believe me, if you're watching here, 45 00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:07,680 Speaker 1: you don't have a million in the stock market. You 46 00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:09,680 Speaker 1: got money on the line with the markets. Take a 47 00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:12,440 Speaker 1: look at the crypto markets all over the board, very 48 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:15,040 Speaker 1: strong early crypto bitcoming go up to one hundred and 49 00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:18,079 Speaker 1: fourteen thousand almost early this morning. It's going to settle 50 00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:20,320 Speaker 1: in around one hundred and eleven thousand. Theium had a 51 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:23,480 Speaker 1: good day, up fifty eight dollars. XRP was up, and 52 00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:27,239 Speaker 1: cro was up. Crypto did very very well today. 53 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:27,399 Speaker 2: All right. 54 00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,640 Speaker 1: Also, this is a very important story. Trump may have 55 00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,520 Speaker 1: cleaned up the streets of Washington, d C. But this 56 00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:35,280 Speaker 1: story is getting a little attention. We want to shed 57 00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:39,440 Speaker 1: some light on it. A Saudi linked arms dealer, arms 58 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:43,239 Speaker 1: dealer Saudi Saudi's nineteen Saudi's food planes into a World 59 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 1: trade center. Let's not forget that this arms dealer has 60 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:49,640 Speaker 1: been named in the Epstein files and has an anti 61 00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:53,640 Speaker 1: Trump passed well, he's purchased a major US hotel chain 62 00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:57,519 Speaker 1: with one of those hotels the Capital Hilton Cable Hilton's 63 00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:00,919 Speaker 1: where they do the White House Press Corps dinner every 64 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,960 Speaker 1: year and it's very near the White House. Bramer Hotels 65 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:08,480 Speaker 1: is the parent company. They're being sold to, Al Sham's 66 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:13,600 Speaker 1: Investments Limited, which is owned by Wafiq Said. Mister Said 67 00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:17,320 Speaker 1: is a Syrian who left his country twenty three years old, 68 00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:20,560 Speaker 1: went to the UK where he lives. And the purchase 69 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:23,480 Speaker 1: of this hotel chain, particularly the Capital Hilton, I have 70 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:27,280 Speaker 1: been there dozens of times in DC is caused for 71 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:31,520 Speaker 1: national security concern. That hotel right there is frequented by 72 00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,600 Speaker 1: US officials all the time, foreign dignitaries all the time. 73 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,360 Speaker 1: So do we now have anything to worry about? 74 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:37,800 Speaker 3: I don't know. 75 00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 1: Could this become a surveillance and influence hub under ownership 76 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:46,520 Speaker 1: tied to Saudi interests. Sale raises a lot of questions 77 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:51,000 Speaker 1: about foreign billionaires with controversial past political agendas and high 78 00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:56,880 Speaker 1: risk associations can acquire sensitive US assets without meaningful oversight. 79 00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:00,320 Speaker 1: Not just a real estate deal. It's foreign influence at 80 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:04,680 Speaker 1: the doorstep of American power, and we must keep an 81 00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:07,920 Speaker 1: eye on it. We will hear at rev absolutely all right. 82 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,960 Speaker 1: My first guest is frustrated with Mayor Brandon Johnson and 83 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,560 Speaker 1: Governor JB. Pritzker for refusing to work with President Trump 84 00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,640 Speaker 1: and his administration to make Chicago a safer place to 85 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,880 Speaker 1: live and to work. I'm happy to have Chicago Democratic 86 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:24,679 Speaker 1: Alderman Raymond Lopez with us. Good to have you, my friend, Raymond. 87 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:28,000 Speaker 1: I'm from Chicago, born and raised in Chicago. I've watched you. 88 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,839 Speaker 1: I was over at Fox for about twelve years. You're 89 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:32,200 Speaker 1: a very good spokesperson. 90 00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:33,279 Speaker 2: I guess you. 91 00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:38,800 Speaker 1: Lean left on the ballot, I guess them, but you're 92 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:42,719 Speaker 1: a very logical person. Why is Chicago having such a 93 00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:46,640 Speaker 1: hard time? You go from LORI Lightfoot horrendous, horrendous with 94 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:50,440 Speaker 1: crime and everything else going on to Brandon Johnson maybe 95 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:54,400 Speaker 1: equally as bad. Why did the Chicago people continue to 96 00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 1: elect people people who are just not interested in keeping 97 00:04:57,560 --> 00:04:59,160 Speaker 1: the safety of chicagoan's at heart. 98 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:03,120 Speaker 4: You know, Chicago and Eric have forgotten what it means 99 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:05,240 Speaker 4: to have a real mayor in charge of the City 100 00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:08,880 Speaker 4: of Chicago. They've fallen for the Oki dog twice now, 101 00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,600 Speaker 4: with people giving the platitudes and speaking to the social 102 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:16,600 Speaker 4: justice warrior ethos that everyone wants and thinks that they 103 00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:19,359 Speaker 4: need to aspire to, while at the same time forgetting 104 00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:21,680 Speaker 4: that Chicago's the city of new neighborhoods. As you know, 105 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,960 Speaker 4: Chicago's a city of working class, blue collar folks who 106 00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:28,480 Speaker 4: have the grit within them to lift themselves up and 107 00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,840 Speaker 4: fight and make something of themselves. And what we've seen 108 00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:39,680 Speaker 4: is a new arrival, a new demographic class of about 109 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:42,320 Speaker 4: forty percent of our residents who come here from other cities, 110 00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:47,680 Speaker 4: who have this sjaw mentality, and they keep voting for 111 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:50,039 Speaker 4: individuals like Brandon Johnson, whom they think are going to 112 00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:52,920 Speaker 4: fix all the social ills while ignoring all of those 113 00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:55,120 Speaker 4: broken window things that we know we need to address 114 00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:58,160 Speaker 4: on a daily basis. If you want to keep neighborhoods secure, 115 00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:00,400 Speaker 4: if you want to keep Chicago beautiful. 116 00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:04,760 Speaker 1: You're Democrat. Yeah, I think almost hard to rate in Chicago. 117 00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:08,560 Speaker 1: I was there for the Richie Daily years, Richard Daily 118 00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:12,120 Speaker 1: and then Richie Daily years, the Democrat machine. Chicago was 119 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:14,680 Speaker 1: a Democrat political machine. Everything had to go through the 120 00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,760 Speaker 1: Democrat Party. My first job ever out of high school, 121 00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:21,400 Speaker 1: I had to go to an alderman and basically put 122 00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:24,839 Speaker 1: money in this coffer to get a construction job. That's 123 00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:28,000 Speaker 1: the way Chicago worked. It continues to this day. But 124 00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:31,400 Speaker 1: when you're talking about the safety of the people in Chicago, 125 00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:34,080 Speaker 1: there are two areas, the southern and the western suburbs, 126 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:39,400 Speaker 1: that are just horrendous with crime. Should Trump bring in 127 00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:43,000 Speaker 1: the National Guard to at least temporarily clean up those neighborhoods. 128 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:45,920 Speaker 4: You know, no one should have to live with open 129 00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:47,800 Speaker 4: air drug markets, and we see that a lot on 130 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,120 Speaker 4: the West Side. No one should have to live with, 131 00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:55,839 Speaker 4: you know, drug dealers standing on the corners now fighting 132 00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:59,680 Speaker 4: with venezuel Whalen migrants on the south Side. Absolutely, Trump 133 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:01,320 Speaker 4: should be able to come in and help the city 134 00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:04,440 Speaker 4: of Chicago alleviate some of the pressures of public safety 135 00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:07,320 Speaker 4: that our police officers are facing as they fight every 136 00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:09,720 Speaker 4: single day to try and make our neighborhood safe. 137 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,240 Speaker 2: You know, we do not need police. 138 00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:16,040 Speaker 4: Officers protecting the Bean, protecting Buckingham Fountain, protecting the mag 139 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:18,560 Speaker 4: Mile when they could be in the neighborhoods answering the 140 00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:21,040 Speaker 4: thousands of nine to one one calls that go unanswered 141 00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:25,040 Speaker 4: every single day. But yet Governor Pritzker Brandon Johnson say no, 142 00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:28,280 Speaker 4: they say, we're doing just fine. Our numbers are low enough, 143 00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:31,360 Speaker 4: We're happy with where they are. So they're basically signaling 144 00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:35,120 Speaker 4: to all of Chicago that there's an acceptable limit of 145 00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:39,240 Speaker 4: carnage that the Democratic political elite is willing to accept 146 00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:42,000 Speaker 4: on the streets of the city of Chicago. I'm not 147 00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:45,119 Speaker 4: one of those individuals. I had a young man shot 148 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,200 Speaker 4: in the back of his head walking home through an 149 00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:50,000 Speaker 4: alley this weekend. I had two kids that were gunned 150 00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:53,120 Speaker 4: down by a Venezuelan migrant that as the reports, they 151 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:56,360 Speaker 4: stopped them coming home from high school. There are real 152 00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:59,240 Speaker 4: issues that we have to address. And if we save 153 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:02,560 Speaker 4: one life, if we prevent one more victim. 154 00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 2: Why wouldn't we do that. Why wouldn't we want that? 155 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:07,240 Speaker 4: And it really begs the question now more than ever, 156 00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:11,040 Speaker 4: who is the Democratic Party's elite serving when they say 157 00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:13,600 Speaker 4: no to President Trump and the health he's willing to offer. 158 00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:17,480 Speaker 1: So, so, just to clarify the question, was you okay 159 00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:20,240 Speaker 1: with I mean, you ran for mayor or you ran 160 00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:22,520 Speaker 1: for a while, you wropped up. You would be a 161 00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:25,880 Speaker 1: logical representative, but you're a Democrat. You get that Democrat vote. 162 00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:30,080 Speaker 1: You're also one of the rare instances of a kind 163 00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:33,760 Speaker 1: of a centrist or moderate Democrat, especially in Steve Chicago, 164 00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:37,040 Speaker 1: you might get a lot of votes. Would you, as mayor, 165 00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:41,120 Speaker 1: Mayor Lopez, allow Trump to come in with National Guard, 166 00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,840 Speaker 1: at least on a temporary basis and do his magic 167 00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:46,640 Speaker 1: on the southern and western suburbs of Chicago. 168 00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:50,319 Speaker 2: If I were in that role as mayor, Yes, I would. 169 00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:51,840 Speaker 4: But I also think that if I were in that 170 00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:53,680 Speaker 4: role as mayor, we would not have been in this 171 00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:56,240 Speaker 4: predicament where we have crime so rampant, because I would 172 00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:59,080 Speaker 4: have supported my police officers. I would have demanded that 173 00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:02,040 Speaker 4: judges stopped the revolving door of justice in Cook County, 174 00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:05,920 Speaker 4: which oftentimes sees criminals out on the streets within hours 175 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:06,760 Speaker 4: of being arrested. 176 00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:09,240 Speaker 2: And I would have elevated the voice of the victim 177 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:10,560 Speaker 2: over the criminal. 178 00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:12,800 Speaker 4: And I think that's the most important part of all 179 00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:15,040 Speaker 4: of this discussion here is that no one in the 180 00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:18,199 Speaker 4: Democratic Party wants to talk about the victims. They're always 181 00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:22,599 Speaker 4: talking about police brutality or over policing, or X, Y 182 00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:25,280 Speaker 4: and Z and investment, but they never talk about the 183 00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:27,839 Speaker 4: victims of the violence in our streets. And I think 184 00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:30,560 Speaker 4: that's the lost voice that needs to be elevated, especially 185 00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:33,280 Speaker 4: in a city where you have five thousand shooting victims 186 00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:37,640 Speaker 4: every year, where you'll have six hundred at least murder 187 00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:40,320 Speaker 4: victims every year, not to mention all of the other 188 00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:43,400 Speaker 4: crimes that go on, under reported and unaccounted for in 189 00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:44,679 Speaker 4: the city of Chicago. 190 00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:47,400 Speaker 1: Are the western and southern suburbs of Chicago. They know 191 00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:50,520 Speaker 1: go zones for cops because here's what happens in certain 192 00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:54,720 Speaker 1: big cities, Democrat cities where the mayor's office doesn't support 193 00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:57,480 Speaker 1: the PD the police department. Cops don't want to go 194 00:09:57,520 --> 00:09:59,319 Speaker 1: into these areas because they put their lives in the 195 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:01,760 Speaker 1: Their lives are at risk every time they walk into 196 00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:04,559 Speaker 1: these places because they're a target. And then if they 197 00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:08,600 Speaker 1: aggressively defend themselves or put down a criminal, sometimes the 198 00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:10,959 Speaker 1: criminals will claim that they were brutalized or beaten or 199 00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:13,800 Speaker 1: or something illegal happened to them, and the mayor's office 200 00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:17,600 Speaker 1: just doesn't stand up for the police departments. New York, 201 00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:22,240 Speaker 1: for example, famously, Build Blasio went to a police funeral 202 00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:24,920 Speaker 1: and the whole police force turned their back on the mayor. 203 00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:28,120 Speaker 1: Ye what's the relation. Will cops go into these suburbs, 204 00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:32,600 Speaker 1: and more importantly, does the mayor this Johnson's office support 205 00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:35,640 Speaker 1: the police being aggressive in areas where crime is. 206 00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:39,200 Speaker 4: High, well on the south and west sides of the 207 00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:42,200 Speaker 4: city of Chicago. You know, we do have our officers 208 00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:45,280 Speaker 4: who are doing their best, but they have been video 209 00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:49,679 Speaker 4: time and time again being outnumbered, outflanked by criminals and those. 210 00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:50,679 Speaker 2: Who support criminals. 211 00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:53,000 Speaker 4: You don't necessarily have to be a gang banger or 212 00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:55,040 Speaker 4: a drug dealer, but you could be on the corner 213 00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:57,120 Speaker 4: and then all of a sudden, a flash mob erupts 214 00:10:57,160 --> 00:11:00,400 Speaker 4: around an officer or and their partner while they're trying 215 00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:03,560 Speaker 4: to make an arrest, and now they are fending for themselves, 216 00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:06,600 Speaker 4: trying to protect themselves in a very dangerous and hostile situation. 217 00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:07,839 Speaker 2: That is real. 218 00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:11,280 Speaker 4: And when you have mayors like Johnson and formerly like 219 00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:15,360 Speaker 4: Glory Lightfood who would immediately throw any officer under the 220 00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:19,040 Speaker 4: bus twice if they could. And when there's an altercation 221 00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:22,880 Speaker 4: between an officer and a resident, even with the officer 222 00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:25,160 Speaker 4: being one hundred percent in the right, you know, it 223 00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:27,240 Speaker 4: makes it very hard for a police officers to feel 224 00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:29,720 Speaker 4: as though anyone has their back. There's a handful of 225 00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:32,720 Speaker 4: elected officials like myself, who stand in support and solidarity 226 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:36,520 Speaker 4: when our officers do things well and correctly and constitutionally 227 00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:37,280 Speaker 4: as we should. 228 00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:42,000 Speaker 5: You are You are a rare politicians, rare and likable, 229 00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:46,079 Speaker 5: the rare likable moderate democrat, especially in the city as 230 00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:48,120 Speaker 5: hard blue as Chicago is. 231 00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:51,640 Speaker 1: I wish you lucky.

He headed up the I wouldn't call 307 00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:23,440 Speaker 3: it an attack. I'd almost almost called that one, maybe 308 00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:26,680 Speaker 3: even more than an attack, what he did with Iran. 309 00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:29,960 Speaker 3: You saw the success of that operation.

It was actually flawless. They flew for thirty 313 00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:43,560 Speaker 3: seven hours back and forth, and there wasn't a bolt 314 00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:46,440 Speaker 3: that was at a condition, There wasn't an engine failure, 315 00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:49,920 Speaker 3: there was no problem.

Dan and we've been talking about 319 00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:05,720 Speaker 3: this Department of War.

We have 328 00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:34,280 Speaker 3: the greatest equipment in the world. We have the greatest 329 00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:38,840 Speaker 3: manufacturers of equipment. By far, there's nobody to even compete. 330 00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:41,840 Speaker 3: And you see that with this and so many other things, 331 00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:45,600 Speaker 3: the patriots are the best. Every element of the military 332 00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:48,679 Speaker 3: we make the best by far. So I'd like to 333 00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:52,080 Speaker 3: ask you and maybe Dan Dan raising Kane to say 334 00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:53,480 Speaker 3: a few words, please. 335 00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:54,520 Speaker 6: Miss President, thank you. 336 00:17:55,760 --> 00:18:00,000 Speaker 9: After winning a war for independence in seventeen eighty nine, 337 00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:04,200 Speaker 9: Washington established the War Department and Henry Knox was his 338 00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:08,680 Speaker 9: first Secretary of War, and this country won every major 339 00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:10,960 Speaker 9: war after that, to include World War One and World 340 00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:14,320 Speaker 9: War two total victory, mister President, as you said, then one. 341 00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:17,639 Speaker 6: Hundred and fifty years after that. We changed the name. 342 00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:20,480 Speaker 9: After World War Two, from the Department of War to 343 00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:23,440 Speaker 9: the Department of Defense in nineteen forty seven, and as 344 00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:25,680 Speaker 9: you pointed out, mister President, we haven't won a. 345 00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:26,399 Speaker 6: Major war since. 346 00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:29,880 Speaker 9: And that's not to disparage our war fighters, whether it's 347 00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:32,600 Speaker 9: the Korean War, the Vietnam War, or our generation of 348 00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:36,719 Speaker 9: Iraq and Afghanistan. That's to recognize that this name change 349 00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:38,600 Speaker 9: is not just about renaming. 350 00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:42,040 Speaker 6: It's about restoring words matter. 351 00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:45,320 Speaker 9: It's restoring, as you've guided us to, mister President, restoring 352 00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:50,679 Speaker 9: the warrior ethos, restoring victory and clarity as an end state, 353 00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:54,280 Speaker 9: Restoring intentionality. 354 00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:54,760 Speaker 6: To the use of force. 355 00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:58,320 Speaker 9: So that your direction, mister President, the War Department is 356 00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:03,040 Speaker 9: going to fight decisively, not endless conflicts. It's gonna fight 357 00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:05,399 Speaker 9: to win, not not to lose. 358 00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:08,200 Speaker 6: We're gonna go on offense, not just on defense. 359 00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:16,160 Speaker 9: Maximum lethality, not tepid legality, violent effect, not politically correct. 360 00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:20,679 Speaker 6: We're gonna raise up warriors, not just defenders. So this War. 361 00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:24,800 Speaker 9: Department, mister President, just like America, is back. Thank you 362 00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:27,280 Speaker 9: for your leadership and your clarity. We're gonna set the 363 00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:32,280 Speaker 9: tone for this country. America first peace through Strength brought 364 00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:34,280 Speaker 9: to you by the War Department. 365 00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:37,199 Speaker 3: We're back, thank you very much, very well stated. And 366 00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:40,240 Speaker 3: really it has to do with winning. We should have 367 00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:42,159 Speaker 3: won every one. We could have won every war, but 368 00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:47,080 Speaker 3: we we really chose to be very politically correct or 369 00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:54,040 Speaker 3: woki and we just fight forever and then we you know, win, 370 00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:57,560 Speaker 3: We wouldn't lose. Really, we just fight to sort of tie. 371 00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:02,040 Speaker 3: We never wanted to win wars that every one of them. 372 00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:04,399 Speaker 3: We would have won easily with just a couple of 373 00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:07,600 Speaker 3: little changes or a couple of little enochs. You know. I 374 00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:10,040 Speaker 3: was told that Isis would take five years to win. 375 00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:14,080 Speaker 3: And Dan Caine, when I told him how long would 376 00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:15,960 Speaker 3: it take, he said, I think about four weeks or 377 00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:18,199 Speaker 3: I said, what do you mean four weeks? I was 378 00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:21,480 Speaker 3: told five years by the people in Washington, you know 379 00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:24,040 Speaker 3: who they were, five years. I said, you can't do 380 00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:28,000 Speaker 3: it in four weeks. I actually flew to Iraq to 381 00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:29,520 Speaker 3: meet with him, and I met him at a big 382 00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:32,640 Speaker 3: air base. And remember that famous day. It turned out 383 00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:34,480 Speaker 3: to be a famous day for our country because you're 384 00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:36,919 Speaker 3: now the joint head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, 385 00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:39,960 Speaker 3: which is the biggest deal. And he is because he 386 00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:44,160 Speaker 3: did things that everybody said couldn't do. So they said 387 00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:45,800 Speaker 3: it was going to be five years, and he knocked 388 00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:50,040 Speaker 3: him out in about four weeks total. One we took 389 00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:55,720 Speaker 3: over and Isis was gone and pretty amazing. But we 390 00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:58,399 Speaker 3: never fought to win, and now we if we have 391 00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:01,240 Speaker 3: to fight it all. You know, we solved seven wars. 392 00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:03,199 Speaker 3: We have the one that I thought it was going 393 00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:05,400 Speaker 3: to be probably one of the easier ones, and that's 394 00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:10,240 Speaker 3: with President Putin and Ukraine, and that turned out to 395 00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:12,639 Speaker 3: be one that's a little bit more difficult. But the 396 00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:15,000 Speaker 3: seven are done. They were supposed to be much more 397 00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:17,760 Speaker 3: difficult to solve. I solved every one of them, and 398 00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:19,760 Speaker 3: we're going to get the other one done too. But 399 00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:21,680 Speaker 3: it turned out to be a little bit more difficult 400 00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:24,840 Speaker 3: than I thought, and it'll get done or they'll be 401 00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:28,080 Speaker 3: held to pay. But because they're losing six to seven, 402 00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:29,960 Speaker 3: we used to be five. I used to tell you five. 403 00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:34,640 Speaker 3: Now it's almost seven. I guess seven thousand people last week, 404 00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:39,320 Speaker 3: seven thousand, eight hundred and thirteen people young soldiers died 405 00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:43,000 Speaker 3: Russian and Ukrainian, not American soldier. But it's a shame 406 00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:45,679 Speaker 3: and it's just, you know, the human lives, and I 407 00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:49,320 Speaker 3: want to see it stop. But General Kine's done a 408 00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:53,920 Speaker 3: fantastic job and again defeated ISIS, which they said would 409 00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:56,800 Speaker 3: take a long time, and it didn't take a long 410 00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:59,920 Speaker 3: time at all, and did other things that people said 411 00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:03,280 Speaker 3: really couldn't happen. We have the greatest equipment in the world. 412 00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:06,320 Speaker 3: We have the greatest soldiers in the world. Dan say, 413 00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:06,800 Speaker 3: if your. 414 00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:10,119 Speaker 10: Words is yes, sir, Thank you, mister President. It's a 415 00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:15,280 Speaker 10: true honor for me today to represent the incredible men 416 00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:19,960 Speaker 10: and women of America's Joint Force. Today and every day, 417 00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:24,439 Speaker 10: the two point eight million service men and women stand 418 00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:27,840 Speaker 10: ready to fulfill our sacred duty to protect America at 419 00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:29,440 Speaker 10: home and abroad. 420 00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:31,480 Speaker 3: As the President said. 421 00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:35,639 Speaker 10: America's military is the single most powerful fighting force in 422 00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:39,119 Speaker 10: the world. The mission you and the Secretary have given 423 00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:44,320 Speaker 10: us is clear and unambiguous to deliver peace through overwhelming strength. 424 00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:48,280 Speaker 10: And I remind everyone that the US military can reach 425 00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:50,240 Speaker 10: any adversary at the. 426 00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:52,840 Speaker 6: Time and place of our choosing. 427 00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:57,040 Speaker 10: Service to this nation is an incredible gift and we're 428 00:22:57,119 --> 00:22:59,560 Speaker 10: grateful and honored every day to do so. 429 00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:01,800 Speaker 3: Thank you, mister President. Well, thank you, and it's an 430 00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:05,240 Speaker 3: honor to sigh this and we will do that right now. 431 00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:16,800 Speaker 3: I think that's a big one. I'll be honest, I 432 00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:30,320 Speaker 3: think that's a big one. Do you have any questions 433 00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:32,520 Speaker 3: on this subject. We're going to be discussing the G 434 00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:37,480 Speaker 3: twenty in a couple of minutes, but yes, please the idea. 435 00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:39,120 Speaker 11: Of this rebrand and a question for you and the 436 00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:42,600 Speaker 11: newly minted Secretary of War, what message does this send 437 00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:45,200 Speaker 11: to our enemies, to our allies, to the American people? 438 00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:47,840 Speaker 11: And again, what gave you the idea for this rebrand 439 00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:48,679 Speaker 11: at this moment? 440 00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:52,000 Speaker 3: I think it sends a message of victory. I think 441 00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:55,840 Speaker 3: it sends a mess really a message of strength. We're 442 00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:59,280 Speaker 3: very strong. We're much stronger than anyone would really understand. 443 00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:03,240 Speaker 3: And again, you know, having the great equipment we have 444 00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:05,800 Speaker 3: just so much better. You look at all of the 445 00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:10,960 Speaker 3: just any of it submarines as an example, we're twenty 446 00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:14,480 Speaker 3: years ahead of anyone else. Nobody even compares. And I 447 00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:16,400 Speaker 3: let a lot of this happen in my first term. 448 00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:18,920 Speaker 3: You know, we totally rebuilt our military. Then of course 449 00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:23,439 Speaker 3: you had that catastrophe in Afghanistan where they gave up 450 00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:26,560 Speaker 3: a lot of the equipment, but a relatively small amount, 451 00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:29,639 Speaker 3: but a lot. It was a lot in Afghanistan. I 452 00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:31,919 Speaker 3: think it was the most general. I'd say it was 453 00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:34,960 Speaker 3: the most embarrassing day in the history of our country. 454 00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:37,800 Speaker 3: The way that happened, the way they went to the 455 00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:40,320 Speaker 3: wrong airport. They should have gone to Bagram, not the 456 00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:45,000 Speaker 3: local little airport with no security, with tight quarters, et cetera. 457 00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:47,160 Speaker 3: You know what happened. I think it was the most 458 00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:49,639 Speaker 3: embarrassing moment in the history of our country. Frankly, that 459 00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:53,680 Speaker 3: was under the Biden administration. That was terrible, and we 460 00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:55,760 Speaker 3: were going to be leaving, but we were leaving with 461 00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:58,880 Speaker 3: strength and dignity. We were going to keep Bogram because 462 00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:03,880 Speaker 3: Bogram's one away from where China makes its nuclear weapons. 463 00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:06,400 Speaker 3: We're going to have that all to ourselves, a big, 464 00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:09,879 Speaker 3: beautiful place built many years ago from money that today 465 00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:12,840 Speaker 3: would be the equivalent of you know, many many billions 466 00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:16,159 Speaker 3: of dollars. You couldn't build it, the longest runways, the 467 00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:20,000 Speaker 3: most powerful runways in terms of load capacity, and we 468 00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:24,480 Speaker 3: just walked away from it. So stupid, and there were fools, 469 00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:28,600 Speaker 3: the people were fools. No, we have the strongest military, 470 00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:31,119 Speaker 3: and I think that indicates we have the strongest military. 471 00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:33,840 Speaker 3: And you know, we had it, and we won World 472 00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:36,879 Speaker 3: War One, we won World War Two, We won everything 473 00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:39,560 Speaker 3: before and as I said, we won everything in between. 474 00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:45,040 Speaker 3: And we were very strong, but we never fought to win. 475 00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:48,680 Speaker 3: We just didn't fight to win. We didn't lose anything, 476 00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:50,480 Speaker 3: but we didn't fight to win. We could have won 477 00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:54,919 Speaker 3: every one of those wars quickly, but they went a 478 00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:58,639 Speaker 3: route that I think was probably politically correct, but not 479 00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:01,840 Speaker 3: correct for our nation. So I think the Department of 480 00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:06,760 Speaker 3: War census signal. Yeah, pleasten you? Uh is this at 481 00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:07,359 Speaker 3: while ago. 482 00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:10,280 Speaker 12: You said that this gree day is the quote the 483 00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:10,879 Speaker 12: good reflection? 484 00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:12,399 Speaker 6: Where the world is that right now? 485 00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:15,720 Speaker 12: How do you square naving in the Department of War 486 00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:17,240 Speaker 12: and you've been pursuing peace? 487 00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:21,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I think I've gotten piece because of the 488 00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:24,000 Speaker 3: fact that we're strong. If we weren't strong, those seven 489 00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:26,840 Speaker 3: deals I told you about the seven wars, Uh, A 490 00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:30,040 Speaker 3: majority of them wouldn't have happened. Uh, they happened for 491 00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:33,760 Speaker 3: two reasons. Trade okay, and our strength. Those are the 492 00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:38,200 Speaker 3: two reasons. And probably strength may be more important than trade. 493 00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:40,800 Speaker 3: So if we uh, I was very proud of all 494 00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:43,200 Speaker 3: those was those wars that could not be settled, and 495 00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:45,160 Speaker 3: I settled all of them and we'll get the other 496 00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:48,520 Speaker 3: one settled. Also. I don't get settled, but without the strength, 497 00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:49,960 Speaker 3: we wouldn't have settled any of me. 498 00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:53,360 Speaker 10: Please, is your is it your expectation that Congress will 499 00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:55,240 Speaker 10: modify this name change in the law? 500 00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:57,520 Speaker 3: I don't know, but we're gonna find out. But I'm 501 00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:00,720 Speaker 3: not sure they have to. Uh, we're signing an executive 502 00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:03,800 Speaker 3: order today, but we're going to find out. Let me 503 00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:07,040 Speaker 3: see if they do. We're going with it, and we're 504 00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:09,960 Speaker 3: going with it very strongly. There's a question as to 505 00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:12,000 Speaker 3: whether or not they have to, but we'll put it 506 00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:12,959 Speaker 3: before Congress. 507 00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:15,679 Speaker 13: You know, all have this rebrand will actually costs and 508 00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:18,240 Speaker 13: are there any concerns about you know, the Pentagon's mission 509 00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:19,560 Speaker 13: of actually cutting back. 510 00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:21,560 Speaker 3: On spending, but not a lot. You know, we know 511 00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:23,960 Speaker 3: how to rebrand without having to go crazy. We don't 512 00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:26,240 Speaker 3: have to recarve a mountain or anything. We're going to 513 00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:30,040 Speaker 3: be doing it, not in the most expensive We're going 514 00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:33,120 Speaker 3: to start changing the station area as it comes due, 515 00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:35,000 Speaker 3: and lots of things like that. We're not going to 516 00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:37,800 Speaker 3: be doing things like have been done in the past 517 00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:39,919 Speaker 3: when they change the name of forts that shouldn't have 518 00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:42,399 Speaker 3: been changed. Those names if the forts should not have 519 00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:46,359 Speaker 3: been changed at least for the most part, and as 520 00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:49,040 Speaker 3: you know, many of them have been changed back already 521 00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:51,800 Speaker 3: at the request of the communities. Every one of those 522 00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:55,480 Speaker 3: communities said we want our name back, like Fort Bragg 523 00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:59,119 Speaker 3: as an example, the people in that community wanted that 524 00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:02,720 Speaker 3: name back, used to call it anything else but Fort Bragg. 525 00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:06,600 Speaker 3: So we're not gonna be spending very much money on that. Yeah, 526 00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:07,600 Speaker 3: it starts when. 527 00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:10,359 Speaker 6: You spoke with the Europeans and Zelensky earlier this week. 528 00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:12,480 Speaker 6: Did you preview this for them, and did you say 529 00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:14,320 Speaker 6: what security guarantees. 530 00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:14,760 Speaker 8: Might be involved? 531 00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:17,439 Speaker 3: This has nothing to do with anybody but the United 532 00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:20,400 Speaker 3: States of America, the people of America. This is who 533 00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:23,720 Speaker 3: I talk to about changing a name. It is a 534 00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:29,399 Speaker 3: very important change because it's it's an attitude, and we 535 00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:31,400 Speaker 3: know how to win. We've been winning, and we're gonna 536 00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:34,480 Speaker 3: win like you've never seen. Why do these factories start 537 00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:36,639 Speaker 3: to open up that are being built all over the country. 538 00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:40,560 Speaker 3: You're gonna see things happen in this country that nobody expects. 539 00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:44,640 Speaker 3: We have over seventeen trillion dollars in investment coming into 540 00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:48,360 Speaker 3: the country. We never did anything even remotely close to that. 541 00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:50,760 Speaker 3: We've never no other country has either, by the way, 542 00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:54,360 Speaker 3: So you're gonna see things that are pretty amazing. But 543 00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:56,320 Speaker 3: it's really about winning. 544 00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:59,320 Speaker 6: And what about the security guarantees aspect of that with you. 545 00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:02,480 Speaker 3: Krants or well, we'll work there. Well will help them. Look, 546 00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:04,280 Speaker 3: we want to save a lot of lives, so we'll 547 00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:06,320 Speaker 3: do something with that. I think people expect that will 548 00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:10,600 Speaker 3: help them. Well, Europe will be first in by far, 549 00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:12,640 Speaker 3: and they want to be first, and they want they 550 00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:14,960 Speaker 3: want to see it end. Europe wants to see it end, 551 00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:18,240 Speaker 3: and it'll end. It'll end all of a sudden, it's 552 00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:20,960 Speaker 3: going to come together. You watch, Yeah, did you want 553 00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:26,240 Speaker 3: something right? Yeah? Behind you place? Yes, yes, you have a. 554 00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:32,240 Speaker 11: Bold, decisive offensive action to protect American values, strikes and Ron, 555 00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:35,160 Speaker 11: the strikes US past Tuesday and the positively id trendy 556 00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:36,520 Speaker 11: I Ragua narco terrorists. 557 00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:39,320 Speaker 6: Is that going to be a critical function of Department war? 558 00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:42,720 Speaker 3: It depends on the individual instance. You know, we don't 559 00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:45,760 Speaker 3: want drugs coming in from Venezuela or anybody else or 560 00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:48,560 Speaker 3: anyplace else, so we'll be tough on that. We don't 561 00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:53,080 Speaker 3: want human trafficking, We don't want to see people coming 562 00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:55,360 Speaker 3: in where they open their prisons from all over the 563 00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:58,040 Speaker 3: world and they dump their prisoners into our country, which 564 00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:01,640 Speaker 3: is what they did in the Biden administration, where they 565 00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:07,960 Speaker 3: took insane asylums and places that held people that were 566 00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:13,160 Speaker 3: seriously mentally ill, mentally incompetent, mentally dangerous, and they dumped 567 00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:16,280 Speaker 3: those people into our country. And we're trying to get 568 00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:20,400 Speaker 3: them out now. What they've done, what the Democrats and 569 00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:24,920 Speaker 3: Biden have done to this country, will go down in infamy, 570 00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:28,640 Speaker 3: what they have done to our country, and especially that 571 00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:31,280 Speaker 3: you know they created the worst inflation we've ever had. 572 00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:36,080 Speaker 3: That's nothing compared to what they did with the people 573 00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:38,520 Speaker 3: in our country right now. And we're getting them out. 574 00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:40,840 Speaker 3: And it's not easy when you have the liberal judges 575 00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:45,120 Speaker 3: destroying our country. But we've won them all. We've won 576 00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:49,480 Speaker 3: it all, ultimately wanted all heart process. It should be easier. 577 00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:51,760 Speaker 3: We know who it is, we know exactly who we're 578 00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:56,120 Speaker 3: looking for. We had eleven thousand murderers dropped into our country. 579 00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:59,000 Speaker 3: We've gotten a lot of them out or in some 580 00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:01,920 Speaker 3: cases they're so dangers were afraid to get them out 581 00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:05,920 Speaker 3: because they'd come back in. But for the last one 582 00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:09,440 Speaker 3: hundred and twenty days, zero people came in. Can you 583 00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:14,560 Speaker 3: imagine this is me speaking, But these are figures developed 584 00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:18,280 Speaker 3: by they say, a pretty liberal group of people. They 585 00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:21,320 Speaker 3: admit that zero people came into our country. Think of that. 586 00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:24,760 Speaker 3: A year ago, it was millions of people were coming in. 587 00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:29,080 Speaker 3: Millions they were coming in. You could look at them 588 00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:33,000 Speaker 3: and you could say, big trouble, and that's what we 589 00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:35,760 Speaker 3: have in our country. But we're getting them out and 590 00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:43,280 Speaker 3: despite that, we're doing really well. Yeah please right, yeah, Well, 591 00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:47,479 Speaker 3: the recruitment is the most exciting thing. So when I 592 00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:50,520 Speaker 3: was campaigning for the office, numbers were coming out that 593 00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:52,920 Speaker 3: the recruitment numbers, generally, you could speak to it better 594 00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:56,440 Speaker 3: than anybody. The recruitment into the military, all branches of 595 00:31:56,480 --> 00:32:00,640 Speaker 3: the military, and police, environment and everything else anything having 596 00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:04,440 Speaker 3: to do with like a public service. The numbers were horrible, 597 00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:08,160 Speaker 3: record setting bad, and now their records setting good. We're 598 00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:12,360 Speaker 3: setting every record every month for recruitment. We're packed in 599 00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:17,840 Speaker 3: the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard. My beautiful 600 00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:23,360 Speaker 3: I love Space Command. I love space I see Space Command. 601 00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:26,960 Speaker 3: But Space Force has been we've got a waiting list 602 00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:30,320 Speaker 3: of people wanting to go. In a year ago, especially 603 00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:31,640 Speaker 3: a year and a half ago. You know, when I 604 00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:33,640 Speaker 3: took the lead in the palls, which was very early, 605 00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:37,880 Speaker 3: it really helped with the recruiting, and when I won 606 00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:41,200 Speaker 3: from November fifth on, it's been amazing. And over the 607 00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:44,040 Speaker 3: last four or five months it's been We're just packed. 608 00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:47,560 Speaker 3: It was very hard to get police officers. Now the 609 00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:50,920 Speaker 3: departments are loaded up. Everyone wants to be a policeman 610 00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:53,320 Speaker 3: or woman. So it's been a great thing. Jenny, Do 611 00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:55,040 Speaker 3: you want to talk about that? Sure? 612 00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:58,320 Speaker 10: As you said, serving our nation is an incredible gift 613 00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:01,160 Speaker 10: that we give. In the role war on that gift 614 00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:04,320 Speaker 10: pays back exponentially a year over year, and I think 615 00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:06,840 Speaker 10: the young people of America are seeing the. 616 00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:09,360 Speaker 6: Importance of service, and whether it's in. 617 00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:12,480 Speaker 10: Any of our armed services or in local police, fire 618 00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:16,480 Speaker 10: and rescue, service is an important thing that I personally 619 00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:19,680 Speaker 10: encourage and I know everyone else in government services that 620 00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:20,600 Speaker 10: same reward. 621 00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:22,000 Speaker 3: And p and recruitment. 622 00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:26,240 Speaker 9: I was down at Fort Benning, the newly properly renamed 623 00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:31,080 Speaker 9: Fort Benning yesterday watching watching Army basic training, and they're 624 00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:33,520 Speaker 9: so full they can't barely handle the throughput. 625 00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:36,280 Speaker 6: It is truly historic across all the services. 626 00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:38,600 Speaker 9: As you said, it's been a surge into the I 627 00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:40,520 Speaker 9: was going to say the Defense Department, but I will 628 00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:43,680 Speaker 9: say the War Department. And you might almost call it 629 00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:47,080 Speaker 9: a vibe shift, an attitude shift, a feeling that the 630 00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:49,560 Speaker 9: country is back, that service is back. And you there 631 00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:52,280 Speaker 9: were military families last year, mister President, that said, I 632 00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:53,800 Speaker 9: don't know if I can recommend I mean, I wrote 633 00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:55,000 Speaker 9: a book on this. I don't know if I can 634 00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:58,040 Speaker 9: recommend service to my son or daughter given what's been 635 00:33:58,080 --> 00:33:59,200 Speaker 9: done to our military. 636 00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:01,360 Speaker 6: You heard it over and over and over again. 637 00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:04,160 Speaker 9: And I hear from those same military families right now, sir, 638 00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:07,720 Speaker 9: and they're saying, I recommend to my kids that they 639 00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:11,000 Speaker 9: go into this department, this Pentagon, under this commander in 640 00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:14,160 Speaker 9: chief who they know you'll have their back and they 641 00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:16,279 Speaker 9: want to serve. So it is historic, and it's the 642 00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:18,680 Speaker 9: biggest reflection of how motivated Americans are about your. 643 00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:21,800 Speaker 3: Leadership, sir. You know, really it's nothing more than spirit 644 00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:25,840 Speaker 3: love for the country. I guess the spirit of corps. 645 00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:28,960 Speaker 3: As they say, you have more of that than we've 646 00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:34,200 Speaker 3: had maybe ever. Frankly, but to see a turn over 647 00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:35,960 Speaker 3: a period of less than a year, I would say, 648 00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:37,879 Speaker 3: but to see a turn nobody wanted to go into 649 00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:40,480 Speaker 3: the military. Now everybody wants to go into the military. 650 00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:41,719 Speaker 3: And Jennifer, you want to. 651 00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:44,920 Speaker 6: Yeah, there's some new reporting on North Korea and this 652 00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:47,440 Speaker 6: Navy seal incident in twenty nineteen. 653 00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:50,359 Speaker 3: Can you say if the administration has engaged with North 654 00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:53,719 Speaker 3: Korea on that incident since it happened recently? And then 655 00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:56,200 Speaker 3: can you share Suberba, I don't know anything about it. Now, 656 00:34:56,719 --> 00:34:58,800 Speaker 3: i'd have to.

It happened a little while ago. Okay. 670 00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:31,200 Speaker 13: There has been some pushback on that though from South 671 00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:33,799 Speaker 13: Korea already. And of course, you know, they pledged to 672 00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:35,920 Speaker 13: invest one hundred and fifty billion in the US. 673 00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:37,279 Speaker 6: And they were just here, you know, last week. 674 00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:39,400 Speaker 3: Are you cons well, and they have the right to 675 00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:41,640 Speaker 3: sell cars and things in our country. You know, it's 676 00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:42,800 Speaker 3: not like a one side idea. 677 00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:46,280 Speaker 1: Were you concerned at all about you know, your immigration 678 00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:49,680 Speaker 1: agenda potentially clashing with these economic goals. 679 00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:52,480 Speaker 3: Well, we wanna get along with other countries and we 680 00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:56,120 Speaker 3: want to have a great stable workforce. And we had, 681 00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:59,920 Speaker 3: as I understand it, a lot of illegal aliens. S 682 00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:03,120 Speaker 3: some not the best of people, but we had a 683 00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:05,480 Speaker 3: lot of illegal aliens working there. So you know, look, 684 00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:07,279 Speaker 3: they're doing their job. That's what they have to do. 685 00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:10,399 Speaker 3: These are people that came through with Biden. They came 686 00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:12,960 Speaker 3: through illegally, They came into our country, so we have 687 00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:13,719 Speaker 3: to do our job. 688 00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:17,040 Speaker 6: Is now of War has been involved in the crime 689 00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:17,879 Speaker 6: clean up in DC. 690 00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:21,959 Speaker 11: You've tasked Congress with proposing and passing a crime bill. 691 00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:23,759 Speaker 6: What are some things that you would really like to 692 00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:25,239 Speaker 6: see codified in that crime bill? 693 00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:27,600 Speaker 3: Well, I think one of the things is the cashless bail. 694 00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:30,400 Speaker 3: It's killing it when that came out originally, when that 695 00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:32,439 Speaker 3: came out the first time, that's when you saw the 696 00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:36,920 Speaker 3: real big crime start to happen. Cash less bail. What 697 00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:39,960 Speaker 3: a disaster that is? You murder somebody, you don't have 698 00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:42,000 Speaker 3: to put up bail, and you go out in the 699 00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:45,320 Speaker 3: street and you murder somebody else. That's what's happened, happened 700 00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:48,440 Speaker 3: so often, and that's one of the things and other 701 00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:51,040 Speaker 3: of the things you're reading about. You know, it's a standard, 702 00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:54,359 Speaker 3: but just a certain toughness. I have to say, one 703 00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:58,760 Speaker 3: of the elements of fascination for people over the last 704 00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:01,320 Speaker 3: period of time has been what's happened to d C. 705 00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:05,279 Speaker 3: So we've gone from a one of the most dangerous 706 00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:08,880 Speaker 3: cities in our country to what they call a safe city. 707 00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:12,719 Speaker 3: It's a totally safe city. In fact, I set up 708 00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:16,719 Speaker 3: dinner in Washington, d C. Next week. I wouldn't have 709 00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:18,719 Speaker 3: done that, to be honest, I would have had an 710 00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:23,160 Speaker 3: obligation not to do it. Before I came into office, 711 00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:26,880 Speaker 3: or even at the very beginning, things were so corrupt 712 00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:30,520 Speaker 3: and so dangerous out on the streets. So Washington, d C. 713 00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:34,279 Speaker 3: Has had virtually no crime. We even have a mayor 714 00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:39,279 Speaker 3: that's admitting to it. And she's a liberal Democrat, nor fairness, 715 00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:44,279 Speaker 3: she's a person that hasn't gotten exactly along with Republicans 716 00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:47,520 Speaker 3: over the years, and she said she's never seen anything 717 00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:50,840 Speaker 3: like it. So, Washington, d C. Is a totally safe city. 718 00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:55,960 Speaker 3: We have virtually no crime. It's gone from the most 719 00:37:56,160 --> 00:37:59,719 Speaker 3: unsafe city in the United States almost just about to 720 00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:03,080 Speaker 3: one of the safest cities, maybe the safest city in 721 00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:07,840 Speaker 3: the United States. That's a tremendous compliment to our military 722 00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:10,919 Speaker 3: what we did. The National Guard's done a fantastic job. Yep. Please. 723 00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:15,000 Speaker 6: Florida House Speaker game forres was of the White House 724 00:38:15,080 --> 00:38:17,759 Speaker 6: yesterday as part of the leadership on it.

I didn't. We didn't talk about that. 729 00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:29,759 Speaker 3: But he's done a fantastic job. He's respected all over 730 00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:32,800 Speaker 3: the country. Really, he's a leader and he's done just 731 00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:36,320 Speaker 3: a fantastic job. We didn't discuss any thing having to 732 00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:38,560 Speaker 3: do with his future. I'm sure he'd be very good 733 00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:40,120 Speaker 3: at that. My second question. 734 00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:43,879 Speaker 8: Alivator Alcatraz, sticking with Florida a major ruling, appeals court 735 00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:46,240 Speaker 8: block of federal disorder to close it in a grenade 736 00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:47,920 Speaker 8: open for now, and your reaction. 737 00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:51,000 Speaker 3: I think they've done a fantastic job in building it. 738 00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:55,440 Speaker 3: The governor and everybody else that's been involved. It's an 739 00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:59,919 Speaker 3: incredible facility.

And I think Florida has done a great 745 00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:21,520 Speaker 3: job by building it. And whether it's Alligator Alcatraz or 746 00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:23,960 Speaker 3: anything else you want to call it. I was there. 747 00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:27,759 Speaker 3: I visited with the governor with other people. I guess 748 00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:31,840 Speaker 3: Nikki was there.

Those 828 00:43:31,920 --> 00:43:34,359 Speaker 3: families will never be the same. I know family lost 829 00:43:34,400 --> 00:43:37,759 Speaker 3: a daughter, a beautiful daughter. In fact, it was like 830 00:43:38,520 --> 00:43:41,080 Speaker 3: she took something that she thought was like a minor 831 00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:43,160 Speaker 3: deal and it turned out to be riddled out with 832 00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:47,200 Speaker 3: fentanyl of the size of the head of a pin, 833 00:43:47,960 --> 00:43:51,839 Speaker 3: and you're dead. And no, we're stopping the drugs. We're 834 00:43:51,840 --> 00:43:55,040 Speaker 3: gonna save a lot of people. Look whether it's one 835 00:43:55,080 --> 00:43:57,440 Speaker 3: hundred thousand, but it's not. It's three hundred, three hundred 836 00:43:57,440 --> 00:44:00,440 Speaker 3: and fifty thousand people died last year from drugs, and 837 00:44:00,680 --> 00:44:02,480 Speaker 3: we're not going to let that happen to this country. 838 00:44:02,600 --> 00:44:04,320 Speaker 3: Think of that. Think if you're in a war and 839 00:44:04,360 --> 00:44:06,880 Speaker 3: you lose three hundred thousand, we'll lose six hundred thousand. 840 00:44:06,960 --> 00:44:07,160 Speaker 1: In the. 841 00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:11,920 Speaker 3: Pretty much between Gettysburg and all of that. In the 842 00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:15,319 Speaker 3: Civil War we lost what six hundred thousand, So we're 843 00:44:15,400 --> 00:44:17,680 Speaker 3: losing half of that every year to drugs. We're not 844 00:44:17,760 --> 00:44:19,200 Speaker 3: going to do it. We're not going to allow it 845 00:44:19,320 --> 00:44:22,759 Speaker 3: to happen. You think of the wars. If we lost 846 00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:27,319 Speaker 3: six hundred thousand people in a war, but we lose 847 00:44:27,760 --> 00:44:31,239 Speaker 3: that every two years more than that, So it's three 848 00:44:31,360 --> 00:44:34,239 Speaker 3: hundred to three hundred and fifty thousand people. And when 849 00:44:34,280 --> 00:44:36,799 Speaker 3: I see boats coming in like loaded up the other 850 00:44:36,920 --> 00:44:40,400 Speaker 3: day with all sorts of drugs, probably fent it all mostly, 851 00:44:40,480 --> 00:44:43,239 Speaker 3: but all sorts of drugs, We're going to take them out. 852 00:44:43,320 --> 00:44:47,200 Speaker 3: And if people want to have fun going on the 853 00:44:47,280 --> 00:44:49,279 Speaker 3: high seas or the low season, they're going to be 854 00:44:49,320 --> 00:44:52,880 Speaker 3: in trouble. I will tell you. Boat traffic is substantially 855 00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:56,719 Speaker 3: down in the area that happened. And they called it 856 00:44:56,800 --> 00:44:59,440 Speaker 3: the runway. It's a runway to it's a runway to 857 00:44:59,800 --> 00:45:03,319 Speaker 3: the the United States, and boat traffic is very substantially 858 00:45:03,400 --> 00:45:05,799 Speaker 3: down on the runway. You can imagine why. I think 859 00:45:05,880 --> 00:45:07,799 Speaker 3: anybody that saw that is going to say I'll take 860 00:45:07,840 --> 00:45:10,440 Speaker 3: a pass. I don't even know about fishermen. They may 861 00:45:10,480 --> 00:45:11,799 Speaker 3: say I'm not getting on the boat. 862 00:45:12,239 --> 00:45:15,040 Speaker 12: I'm not going to take a chancel to fly as 863 00:45:15,320 --> 00:45:15,920 Speaker 12: jenis over in. 864 00:45:16,000 --> 00:45:18,640 Speaker 3: US alstice again, well, I would say they're going to 865 00:45:18,680 --> 00:45:21,600 Speaker 3: be in trouble. We'll let them know about that we 866 00:45:21,719 --> 00:45:24,920 Speaker 3: heard that happen, but it wasn't really over, not like 867 00:45:25,200 --> 00:45:28,440 Speaker 3: they described. But I would say, General, if they do that, 868 00:45:28,600 --> 00:45:31,560 Speaker 3: you have a choice of doing anything you want. If 869 00:45:31,600 --> 00:45:34,400 Speaker 3: they fly in a dangerous position, I would say that 870 00:45:34,520 --> 00:45:38,120 Speaker 3: you can, you or your captains can make the decision 871 00:45:38,160 --> 00:45:41,840 Speaker 3: as to what they want to do. And we have 872 00:45:41,920 --> 00:45:42,360 Speaker 3: one resident. 873 00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:43,359 Speaker 6: He said they didn't go over. 874 00:45:44,040 --> 00:45:44,279 Speaker 3: Say it. 875 00:45:44,520 --> 00:45:45,440 Speaker 6: How close did they get? 876 00:45:45,520 --> 00:45:47,360 Speaker 3: He said, the plane didn't. Well, I don't want to 877 00:45:47,400 --> 00:45:49,759 Speaker 3: talk about that, but if they do put us in 878 00:45:49,840 --> 00:45:53,960 Speaker 3: a dangerous position, let'll be shut down. Thank you very much, everybody. 879 00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:56,520 Speaker 3: So we're going to now cover the G twenty and 880 00:45:56,560 --> 00:45:58,279 Speaker 3: I'm going to let these people go back to the 881 00:45:58,400 --> 00:46:02,360 Speaker 3: Department of War and figure out how to maintain piece.

That's more than 888 00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:23,640 Speaker 8: Joe Biden did in his entire term in office, more 889 00:46:23,680 --> 00:46:26,280 Speaker 8: than Obama did in either of his two terms in office. 890 00:46:26,320 --> 00:46:29,360 Speaker 8: So it's a momentous accomplishment and congratulations. 891 00:46:29,440 --> 00:46:36,360 Speaker 3: Good, but Biden never signed one no be here, so 892 00:46:36,520 --> 00:46:38,279 Speaker 3: we really beat him by much more than you think. 893 00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:41,840 Speaker 8: This the two hundred first Executive Order, Sir, This relates 894 00:46:41,920 --> 00:46:46,040 Speaker 8: to hostages and wrongfully detained Americans.

But we've gotten a lot of hostages. 906 00:47:17,920 --> 00:47:18,719 Speaker 3: You want to describe it? 907 00:47:18,760 --> 00:47:22,560 Speaker 6: As a president, you brought back seventy two hostages since 908 00:47:22,600 --> 00:47:23,000 Speaker 6: her term. 909 00:47:23,760 --> 00:47:27,319 Speaker 2: If we compare that to President Biden, he has gotten. 910 00:47:27,200 --> 00:47:31,080 Speaker 3: Twenty taken, so he is negative twenty twenty taken. They 911 00:47:31,120 --> 00:47:33,080 Speaker 3: don't take up people so often, So. 912 00:47:33,200 --> 00:47:36,719 Speaker 2: Mister President, when we spoke.

You know, once you pay money 924 00:48:13,080 --> 00:48:15,359 Speaker 3: and then a lot of people start disappearing. They start 925 00:48:15,680 --> 00:48:20,399 Speaker 3: grabbing reporters too.

They'd be grabbing reporters, 931 00:48:32,640 --> 00:48:36,239 Speaker 3: they'd be grabbing everybody, and especially when you pay the 932 00:48:36,320 --> 00:48:39,480 Speaker 3: kind of money that Biden and Obama they used to 933 00:48:39,520 --> 00:48:43,799 Speaker 3: pay money.

Biden's LSH 973 00:51:00,280 --> 00:51:05,040 Speaker 7: Security Council told those families not to talk about their 974 00:51:05,080 --> 00:51:10,279 Speaker 7: missing loved ones, to be quiet, not to create any 975 00:51:10,400 --> 00:51:14,719 Speaker 7: pressure on Biden and on Drake Sullivan, the key propagator 976 00:51:14,800 --> 00:51:18,560 Speaker 7: of the Russia hoax. This administration has met with those 977 00:51:18,640 --> 00:51:23,040 Speaker 7: families on a weekly basis. People like Adam yourself, sir, 978 00:51:23,400 --> 00:51:27,680 Speaker 7: your envoys are doing everything to get every single American home, 979 00:51:28,080 --> 00:51:30,879 Speaker 7: not to tell them not to talk about their loved ones, 980 00:51:31,200 --> 00:51:32,319 Speaker 7: but bring them home. 981 00:51:33,400 --> 00:51:35,080 Speaker 3: Well, you know, I can tell you one story that 982 00:51:36,360 --> 00:51:40,320 Speaker 3: was amazing a few weeks ago. Very little written about it, 983 00:51:41,120 --> 00:51:43,040 Speaker 3: but there should have been. But it was a very 984 00:51:43,120 --> 00:51:45,600 Speaker 3: nice shoes of the head of Belarus, who's a very 985 00:51:45,640 --> 00:51:53,160 Speaker 3: respected man, strong, strong person, strong leader. He released sixteen hostages. 986 00:51:54,160 --> 00:51:57,920 Speaker 3: John Cale lawyer works for me, a great lawyer, actually 987 00:51:58,680 --> 00:52:01,319 Speaker 3: one of the greatest lawyers. But John Cole was over 988 00:52:01,400 --> 00:52:04,600 Speaker 3: there and he heard that they had hostages, and you 989 00:52:04,719 --> 00:52:08,120 Speaker 3: know about this sixteen people he released, and I just 990 00:52:08,239 --> 00:52:12,479 Speaker 3: want to thank the head of Belarus. But while John 991 00:52:12,640 --> 00:52:16,520 Speaker 3: was over there, they had I believe another fourteen hundred hostages. 992 00:52:16,600 --> 00:52:19,920 Speaker 3: Now not from US, from places all over the world 993 00:52:20,840 --> 00:52:24,000 Speaker 3: and just pretty tough place in Alfaires, but they had 994 00:52:24,040 --> 00:52:27,200 Speaker 3: fourteen hundred. And I believe they're going to be releasing 995 00:52:27,239 --> 00:52:30,440 Speaker 3: a lot of those fourteen hundred. They're not. I think 996 00:52:30,560 --> 00:52:33,200 Speaker 3: very few of any we got we got pretty much 997 00:52:33,239 --> 00:52:38,000 Speaker 3: hours back and we didn't pay anything. But I very 998 00:52:38,080 --> 00:52:42,800 Speaker 3: much gave my respects to the leader of the country. Again, 999 00:52:42,840 --> 00:52:45,520 Speaker 3: he's a very strong man. But he's got fourteen hundred 1000 00:52:45,640 --> 00:52:49,480 Speaker 3: or fifteen hundred or a large number, and we're talking 1001 00:52:49,719 --> 00:52:53,279 Speaker 3: about releasing them. Some are political, I guess a lot 1002 00:52:53,360 --> 00:52:56,840 Speaker 3: of them are political, and looks like they're going to 1003 00:52:56,880 --> 00:52:59,400 Speaker 3: be released at some point in the pretty near future. 1004 00:53:00,080 --> 00:53:02,240 Speaker 3: It's a great thing. They have to respect your country. 1005 00:53:02,320 --> 00:53:04,880 Speaker 3: They respect you, and they respect your country. They release it. 1006 00:53:05,040 --> 00:53:07,480 Speaker 3: They don't, then you have to pay six billion dollars. 1007 00:53:07,680 --> 00:53:10,200 Speaker 3: I mean six billion. Can you imagine that? Paying six 1008 00:53:10,480 --> 00:53:11,400 Speaker 3: billion dollars? 1009 00:53:12,400 --> 00:53:12,759 Speaker 6: Kind of a. 1010 00:53:12,719 --> 00:53:19,000 Speaker 3: Related not really leaders who's been blato and they high 1011 00:53:19,120 --> 00:53:24,960 Speaker 3: bars from Colorado within the election any shooting days. We 1012 00:53:25,040 --> 00:53:30,080 Speaker 3: have a wonderful woman who was an election official and 1013 00:53:30,360 --> 00:53:37,160 Speaker 3: she saw cheating in Colorado and she viewed it as 1014 00:53:37,239 --> 00:53:41,640 Speaker 3: horrible and she said, what's going on here? And she 1015 00:53:41,800 --> 00:53:44,440 Speaker 3: went to the machine and she tried to open to 1016 00:53:44,520 --> 00:53:46,759 Speaker 3: find out whether or it was cheating. And they went 1017 00:53:46,840 --> 00:53:48,880 Speaker 3: to her and they said, did you touch this machine? Yes, 1018 00:53:49,480 --> 00:53:52,200 Speaker 3: and they arrested her. They arrested her instead of the 1019 00:53:52,239 --> 00:53:55,520 Speaker 3: people that did the cheating. It's a state charge, so 1020 00:53:56,320 --> 00:53:59,239 Speaker 3: it's hard to do anything with. But we're gonna we're 1021 00:53:59,239 --> 00:54:01,399 Speaker 3: going to do something what they did in Colorado. Look, 1022 00:54:01,440 --> 00:54:04,839 Speaker 3: Colorado just went to all mail in voting. That means 1023 00:54:04,880 --> 00:54:08,200 Speaker 3: they cheat. That's why they lost. That's one of the reasons. 1024 00:54:08,280 --> 00:54:10,719 Speaker 3: But that's a big reason why they just lost. The 1025 00:54:10,760 --> 00:54:14,880 Speaker 3: whole Space Command situation. That is going to Alabama. But 1026 00:54:15,120 --> 00:54:17,320 Speaker 3: when you have mail in voting, you have nothing but cheating. 1027 00:54:17,600 --> 00:54:21,640 Speaker 3: But this woman is a is a real patriot, and 1028 00:54:21,719 --> 00:54:23,680 Speaker 3: they put her in here for a long time. She's 1029 00:54:24,080 --> 00:54:27,960 Speaker 3: seventy two years old, seventy three years old, and she 1030 00:54:28,120 --> 00:54:30,800 Speaker 3: wanted to find out. She didn't do anything. She touched 1031 00:54:30,800 --> 00:54:32,759 Speaker 3: the machine, she looked at the machine. She's trying to 1032 00:54:32,800 --> 00:54:35,400 Speaker 3: find out what was going on, and they went and 1033 00:54:35,600 --> 00:54:37,640 Speaker 3: arrested her for doing that. And it was supposed to 1034 00:54:37,680 --> 00:54:39,759 Speaker 3: be the other way around. I'm glad you brought that up. 1035 00:54:40,320 --> 00:54:46,279 Speaker 3: They should let her go, let her out, thank you. Yeah, please, 1036 00:54:47,040 --> 00:54:50,920 Speaker 3: it's all a lot. Mister President wrote, what about her? 1037 00:54:51,000 --> 00:54:54,400 Speaker 11: She's strategy has made so factor againting or rut or not, 1038 00:54:55,520 --> 00:54:56,799 Speaker 11: and then forgotten that home. 1039 00:54:57,640 --> 00:55:01,000 Speaker 3: I think they respect us. I think their respect they 1040 00:55:01,080 --> 00:55:04,960 Speaker 3: know we're not going to pay. Adam is a great negotiator. 1041 00:55:05,120 --> 00:55:09,120 Speaker 3: Steve Woodcoff is a great negotiator. Seb is a great negotiator. 1042 00:55:09,160 --> 00:55:13,520 Speaker 3: They're all smart people that they're a little bit natural negotiator. 1043 00:55:13,600 --> 00:55:16,000 Speaker 3: Some people aren't good negotiator. It's nothing you can do 1044 00:55:16,120 --> 00:55:16,480 Speaker 3: about it. 1045 00:55:17,000 --> 00:55:17,719 Speaker 9: They're afraid of you. 1046 00:55:18,719 --> 00:55:20,839 Speaker 3: Yeah, well maybe I don't know. I hope so well, 1047 00:55:21,200 --> 00:55:25,360 Speaker 3: whatever i'd like to say, respect, you know, whatever whatever 1048 00:55:25,440 --> 00:55:27,879 Speaker 3: it takes. You know, I actually say whatever it takes. 1049 00:55:28,440 --> 00:55:31,520 Speaker 3: But we've got a lot of people out and will continue. 1050 00:55:31,800 --> 00:55:33,560 Speaker 3: We don't have too many in How many are you 1051 00:55:33,680 --> 00:55:37,000 Speaker 3: working on right now? We've got most of our people 1052 00:55:37,080 --> 00:55:39,000 Speaker 3: out out. We got them mostly back. 1053 00:55:39,400 --> 00:55:42,160 Speaker 10: As the President give an update on the negotiations to 1054 00:55:42,280 --> 00:55:44,040 Speaker 10: release the rest of the hostages and Gaza. 1055 00:55:45,560 --> 00:55:50,960 Speaker 3: We're in very deep negotiation with Amos. We said, let 1056 00:55:51,000 --> 00:55:53,920 Speaker 3: them all out right now, let them all out and 1057 00:55:54,320 --> 00:55:57,120 Speaker 3: much better things will happen for them. But if you 1058 00:55:57,160 --> 00:55:59,640 Speaker 3: don't let them all out, it's going to be a 1059 00:55:59,719 --> 00:56:05,160 Speaker 3: tough situation. It's gonna be nasty. That's my opinion. Israel's choice, 1060 00:56:05,200 --> 00:56:07,800 Speaker 3: but that's my opinion. They're gonna let them out. You 1061 00:56:07,920 --> 00:56:11,600 Speaker 3: got twenty plus, You have about thirty eight dead people, young, 1062 00:56:12,120 --> 00:56:16,239 Speaker 3: beautiful dead people. And I'll tell you the parents want 1063 00:56:16,360 --> 00:56:20,960 Speaker 3: them every bit as much, almost more than as if 1064 00:56:21,000 --> 00:56:24,200 Speaker 3: their son or daughter were alive. But you have many 1065 00:56:24,280 --> 00:56:26,359 Speaker 3: dead people that are coming out as part of the deal. 1066 00:56:26,440 --> 00:56:28,759 Speaker 3: It's twenty people, but I think of the twenty, there 1067 00:56:28,800 --> 00:56:32,600 Speaker 3: could be some that have recently died, is what I'm hearing. 1068 00:56:33,320 --> 00:56:38,040 Speaker 3: I hope that's wrong. But you have over thirty bodies 1069 00:56:39,760 --> 00:56:42,440 Speaker 3: in this negotiation. Can you believe? I mean, we negotiate 1070 00:56:42,480 --> 00:56:45,120 Speaker 3: for people that are living in here. We know that 1071 00:56:45,280 --> 00:56:48,360 Speaker 3: at least thirty people are dead, and when negotiated to 1072 00:56:48,400 --> 00:56:51,360 Speaker 3: get them out, the parents want them back so badly, 1073 00:56:52,719 --> 00:56:56,399 Speaker 3: so badly as if they were alive, every bit as much. 1074 00:56:56,480 --> 00:57:00,840 Speaker 3: It's really pretty amazing. It's very sad the middle of it. 1075 00:57:02,160 --> 00:57:04,520 Speaker 3: And I put out the other day I said, we 1076 00:57:04,600 --> 00:57:07,000 Speaker 3: want all twenty. We don't want two. You know, I 1077 00:57:07,160 --> 00:57:09,799 Speaker 3: was the one with myself and my people, with Steve 1078 00:57:09,840 --> 00:57:14,080 Speaker 3: Whitcoff and Jared Kushner was great on this. But they 1079 00:57:15,160 --> 00:57:17,440 Speaker 3: got a lot of people out. We got almost all 1080 00:57:17,480 --> 00:57:21,720 Speaker 3: of them out. They're down to twenty. But Adam, we 1081 00:57:21,880 --> 00:57:25,040 Speaker 3: got like a tremendous number out. But I always said, 1082 00:57:25,080 --> 00:57:26,960 Speaker 3: when you get down to the final ten or twenty, 1083 00:57:27,040 --> 00:57:30,120 Speaker 3: you're not going to get them out. Unless you're going 1084 00:57:30,200 --> 00:57:33,840 Speaker 3: to do a lot, and doing a lot means capitulation. 1085 00:57:34,040 --> 00:57:37,040 Speaker 3: That's still good either. It's a very tough situation. But 1086 00:57:37,160 --> 00:57:38,840 Speaker 3: I put out the other day, let them all out, 1087 00:57:39,560 --> 00:57:42,560 Speaker 3: every single one, no more twos and ones. Will give 1088 00:57:42,560 --> 00:57:44,760 Speaker 3: you one this week and in two months we'll give 1089 00:57:44,760 --> 00:57:50,200 Speaker 3: you two more. And this negotiation going on right now. 1090 00:57:50,920 --> 00:57:53,560 Speaker 6: And what is the biggest challenge negotiating with the loss 1091 00:57:53,640 --> 00:57:56,320 Speaker 6: right now? Ten to twenty? What do they want to 1092 00:57:56,440 --> 00:57:57,000 Speaker 6: let them BREA? 1093 00:57:57,440 --> 00:58:01,440 Speaker 3: Well, they're asking for some things that are fine. Look, evidence, 1094 00:58:01,800 --> 00:58:05,760 Speaker 3: you have to remember October seventh. You know, people forget 1095 00:58:05,840 --> 00:58:08,720 Speaker 3: October seventh. It's not an easy thing to forget, right, 1096 00:58:09,360 --> 00:58:12,880 Speaker 3: but people forget or they maybe purposely forget October seventh. 1097 00:58:13,000 --> 00:58:15,360 Speaker 3: So you know, you have to put that into the 1098 00:58:15,440 --> 00:58:21,200 Speaker 3: equation very strongly. It's amazing some people even deny it. 1099 00:58:21,480 --> 00:58:26,240 Speaker 3: They deny it crazy, But I've seen tape that's as 1100 00:58:26,320 --> 00:58:29,760 Speaker 3: violent as anything that you can imagine. Many of you 1101 00:58:29,920 --> 00:58:32,240 Speaker 3: have seen those same types. So you have to put 1102 00:58:32,280 --> 00:58:34,960 Speaker 3: that into the equation too. So it's not an easy situation. 1103 00:58:35,240 --> 00:58:38,760 Speaker 3: It's a tough one. But there are twenty people, maybe 1104 00:58:38,760 --> 00:58:40,480 Speaker 3: a little less, but there are twenty people that we 1105 00:58:40,600 --> 00:58:48,120 Speaker 3: want out, we want the bodies of these parents. They 1106 00:58:48,200 --> 00:58:52,400 Speaker 3: are I've never seen anything like it. The level of
