1
00:00:01,240 --> 00:00:03,520
Speaker 1: So you know, the Democratic Party has been obsessed with

2
00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:06,200
Speaker 1: the Epstein files ever since they thought it could actually

3
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:07,600
Speaker 1: somehow hurt Donald Trump.

4
00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:08,440
Speaker 2: Now, they didn't.

5
00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:11,399
Speaker 1: Actually push to release the files. They just wanted to

6
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:17,240
Speaker 1: imply that Donald Trump was somehow involved in nefarious activities

7
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:18,599
Speaker 1: that didn't happen.

8
00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:20,239
Speaker 2: The Epstein files.

9
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:22,680
Speaker 1: Of course they wanted to use to hit Republicans, saying

10
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:25,560
Speaker 1: they were trying to hide something or protect a bunch

11
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:28,240
Speaker 1: of Republicans. Well, now we know that the majority of

12
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:30,280
Speaker 1: the people that are listed in the Epstein files are

13
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:33,360
Speaker 1: actually a bunch of woke, radical lefties. I just want

14
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:36,160
Speaker 1: to say that to put in perspective that the Democratic

15
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 1: Party hasn't changed at all. And if you thought they

16
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 1: were changing and caring about children and victims, then they

17
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:47,199
Speaker 1: wouldn't be doing what I'm about to tell you. The

18
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:50,960
Speaker 1: newest headline is proof of just how evil the Democrats

19
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 1: actually are. Democrat Kansas governor has decide to step forward

20
00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:00,959
Speaker 1: and make sure she protects the sickos more than ever before.

21
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:06,319
Speaker 1: The governor there, Laura Kelly, has vetoed a Republican led

22
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 1: bill on Friday that mandates people use restrooms according to

23
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:19,680
Speaker 1: their biology rather than their self proclaimed gender identity Republican lawmakers,

24
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 1: who dominated both the House and Senate in the state,

25
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:27,320
Speaker 1: are planning to try to override the veto. Local news

26
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:32,039
Speaker 1: reports are now saying, quote, instead of standing with the

27
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 1: overwhelming majority of Kansons on this issue, the governor chose

28
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 1: to appease her most radical supporters at the cost of

29
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 1: women and girls in our state. That is what the

30
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 1: Republican House Speaker Dan Hawkins said in a statement. Now,

31
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 1: the bill passed with more than two thirds support of

32
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 1: the state House and Senate, meaning supporters have a good

33
00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 1: chance of overriding Kelly's veto enforcing the bill into law.

34
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 1: It just codifies social norms, is what Republican State represented

35
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 1: Bob Lewis said after the bill passed and before the veto, saying, quote,

36
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:15,360
Speaker 1: when people go into bathrooms or locker rooms, there's just

37
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 1: an expectation that it'll be single sex, meaning if you're

38
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 1: a dude, it's only dudes, and if you're a chick,

39
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 1: it's only chicks. Kelly said in a statement, the bill

40
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 1: is poorly drafted. Of course, the governor would say that

41
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:34,080
Speaker 1: and could have an implications, she claims beyond bathroom use,

42
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 1: saying quote, I believe the legislature should try and stay

43
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 1: out of the business of telling Kansons how to go

44
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 1: to the bathroom and instead stay focused on how to

45
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:46,799
Speaker 1: make life more.

46
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:48,919
Speaker 2: Affordable for Kansas. She said.

47
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 1: The bill would specifically require government buildings, which include public

48
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:59,639
Speaker 1: schools and universities, to separate bathrooms and locker rooms by

49
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:00,959
Speaker 1: bio logical sex.

50
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 2: I don't know how much.

51
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 1: More well written you could make this bill, but of

52
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:08,639
Speaker 1: course the governor's looking for any lie to say, I'm

53
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 1: going to veto it. Those who violate the law would

54
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 1: be fined or sued for one thousand dollars and could

55
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 1: be criminally charged for repeatedly using facilities that do not

56
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 1: match their biological reality.

57
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:23,640
Speaker 2: Quote.

58
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 1: There are some expectations children would be allowed in opposite

59
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 1: sex restrooms up to the age of eight, as long

60
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 1: as a caregiver is with them. Coaches would be allowed

61
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 1: in opposite sex locker rooms as long as everyone is clothed,

62
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 1: according to the report. Another part of the bill would

63
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 1: bar Kansas residents from changing the sex marker on their

64
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 1: state issue driver's license and birth certificates, per the report.

65
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 1: Now in twenty twenty five, the state legislature was able

66
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 1: to successfully override a veto from Kelly to pass a

67
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 1: law banning sex change drugs for miners. That law is

68
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 1: now being challenged in state court because of the governor,

69
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 1: which goes back to the core principle that I mentioned earlier.

70
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 1: If you think the radical left is giving up on

71
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:18,720
Speaker 1: turning kids into the opposite sex or mutilating their bodies,

72
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 1: you're just wrong. Kansas Republicans were forced to override the

73
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 1: governor and ban gender affirming care for miners. Is how

74
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 1: MPR led with their headline recently saying, quote, after several

75
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 1: years failed attempts, Kansas Republican lawmakers muster the votes necessary

76
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:41,919
Speaker 1: to override Governor Laura Kelly's veto and force a gender

77
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 1: firming care ban for miners in the law. Now, notice

78
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 1: how MPR writes that, And yes, your tax dollurs are

79
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 1: going to this type of writing, And what an MPR

80
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 1: do there? They said it was several failed attempts, Like

81
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 1: they're crazy. They had to get a super majority to

82
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:01,360
Speaker 1: override the veto, let's be clear, in a matter of days.

83
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 1: The article goes on to say transgender miners in Kansas

84
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 1: might lose options for hormone treatment surgeries and other care.

85
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 1: Notice time MPR refers to it as care instead of

86
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 1: body mutilation. Republican lawmakers overrode the veto to put a

87
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 1: ban on gender affirming healthcare into law on Tuesday. As

88
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 1: with similar efforts in the past year, the Democratic governor

89
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:27,280
Speaker 1: Laura Kelly vetoed the bill. Notice, the governor doesn't care

90
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 1: what the people want. When you get two thirds of

91
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:35,159
Speaker 1: a legislature that approves something, it's amazing that a governor

92
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 1: would veto it because she's clearly not listening to the

93
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:41,920
Speaker 1: constituents in her state. Clearly she doesn't care about that.

94
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 1: Proponents said the ban is a common sense measure to

95
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:51,799
Speaker 1: protect children from irreversible decisions. In a Floridabate, Representative Angelas

96
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:57,040
Speaker 1: Steins called gender dysphoria among teens a social contagion. We

97
00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 1: know children and adolescents lack the emotional and cognitive maturity

98
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:05,719
Speaker 1: to consent to treatment that may have life long consequences,

99
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:09,479
Speaker 1: the elected officials said. But, of course Democrats made it

100
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 1: clear they don't care if adults advocate for a child

101
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:17,159
Speaker 1: mutilating their own bodies. Of course, they want you to

102
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:20,280
Speaker 1: believe that a child can choose and know the long

103
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 1: term decision making and the consequences from it.

104
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 2: That is obviously a lie.

105
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 1: So why are they so obsessed with this and for example,

106
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 1: forcing you to allow a man into your child's bathroom

107
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 1: in school, or a locker room or to place they

108
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 1: work out.

109
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:38,920
Speaker 2: It's very simple.

110
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 1: The reason is because they are obsessed with the LGBTQI

111
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:49,839
Speaker 1: plus plus plus agenda. No matter what the people say,

112
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 1: no matter what the people reject, no matter where the

113
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 1: people draw the line, the radical left is sold out

114
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:05,479
Speaker 1: for mutilating children, even if it means irreversible consequences for

115
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:09,040
Speaker 1: a child who may decide later in life they maybe

116
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 1: want to have a child, or maybe they didn't really

117
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 1: want to transition from a girl to a boy. So

118
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 1: why is the governor doing this in Kansas? It's for

119
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 1: one reason. This is what the Democratic Party has become.

120
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 1: This is what they believe in, and they're not backing

121
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 1: down anytime soon. I want to move to another update

122
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 1: for you of what's going on in Iran right now.

123
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 1: There's been a lot of other news that has taken over,

124
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 1: but what's happening in Iran is extremely important when it

125
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 1: comes to national security. We're now being told that Iran

126
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 1: has launched war drills in the straight of her moves

127
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 1: as US carrier is flying missions twenty four to seven

128
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 1: before the Geneva talks this week, the Irgc Navy has

129
00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 1: conducted what they say is smart control of the strait

130
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 1: of her moves, and this is ahead of the key

131
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 1: nuclear discussions. Here's more on that from Fox News Channel

132
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 1: about exactly what all we now have in the Middle East.

133
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 3: Another aircraft carrier now en route to the Mid East,

134
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 3: adding to the already very robust US presence there. This

135
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 3: comes as American Iranian diplomats get ready for another round

136
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 3: of key nuclear talks face to face tomorrow. Chief National

137
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 3: Security Correspondent Jennifer Griffin Fourth Life from the DC Newsroom.

138
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:32,200
Speaker 4: Hijennifer, Hi, Jillian, Well, it's hard to imagine the US

139
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 4: or Israel carrying out military strikes in Iran before the

140
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:39,560
Speaker 4: Olympics end on February twenty second. You'll remember that Putin

141
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 4: invaded Crimea after the end of the Sochi Olympics in

142
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 4: twenty fourteen, and again sent one hundred and fifty thousand

143
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:50,320
Speaker 4: troops into Ukraine after the closing ceremony in Beijing four

144
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 4: years ago. Right now, all eyes are on Geneva, where

145
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:57,200
Speaker 4: Iran's Foreign minister met with the head of the IAEA,

146
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 4: Raphael Grossi today ahead of nuclear time talks with the US,

147
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 4: vowing to quote achieve a fair and equitable deal, adding

148
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:08,840
Speaker 4: Iran will not submit to threats. The talks will focus

149
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:12,560
Speaker 4: on the nuclear issue and not address Iran's massive ballistic

150
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 4: missile stockpile or regime change, as Israel and hundreds of

151
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:21,440
Speaker 4: thousands of Iranian protesters around the world demanded over the weekend.

152
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:26,479
Speaker 4: Police estimated five hundred and seventy thousand protested in Toronto

153
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 4: on Saturday, the largest ever rally by the Iranian diaspora ever,

154
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:34,600
Speaker 4: three hundred and fifty thousand Iranians in Los Angeles heated

155
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 4: the call of exiled leader Resapavlavi to protest against the regime.

156
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:42,080
Speaker 5: We have to make a deal otherwise it's going to

157
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:44,679
Speaker 5: be very traumatic, very traumatic.

158
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:46,199
Speaker 6: I don't want that to happen.

159
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 4: With talks as a backdrop, the US has deployed a

160
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 4: second aircraft carrier strike group, the USS Gerald R. Ford,

161
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 4: will join the USS Abraham Lincoln in the Middle East.

162
00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 4: The soon as the USS Ford can arrive from the

163
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:04,080
Speaker 4: Caribbean would be next Monday. One third of the US

164
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:08,200
Speaker 4: Navy's deployed naval assets are now headed to or deployed

165
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:10,679
Speaker 4: in the Middle East, a similar build up to what

166
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:12,839
Speaker 4: we saw before the Venezuela strike.

167
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:13,720
Speaker 5: The Ford has.

168
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 4: Been at sea since June, the longest any aircraft carrier

169
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 4: has ever been at sea. It's three hundred and twenty

170
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 4: one days or ten and a half months. That was

171
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 4: during COVID. All eyes now are on the eighteen f

172
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:29,200
Speaker 4: thirty fives that left Lakenheath Air Base in the UK

173
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 4: en route to the Middle East. Accompanying them are a

174
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:35,559
Speaker 4: number of KC one thirty five air refueling tankers each

175
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:39,239
Speaker 4: side attempting a bit of gunboat diplomacy with Iran's Revolutionary

176
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:42,280
Speaker 4: Guard Corps holding military drills in the Strait of Horne

177
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 4: Moves today. Iran has repeatedly threatened to close the Strait

178
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:49,200
Speaker 4: of Hormus in retaliation against any attack, which of course

179
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 4: would choke a fifth of global oil flows and send

180
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 4: crude prices sharply hired.

181
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:57,960
Speaker 1: Jillian, So you listen to that, and Iran launches a

182
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:02,440
Speaker 1: live fire naval exercise and they're threatening to shut down

183
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:06,080
Speaker 1: the Strait of her Moves that is their leverage. That's

184
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:09,560
Speaker 1: basically all the leverage they have because toe to toe

185
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:12,199
Speaker 1: their military doesn't send a chance against ours.

186
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 2: Now.

187
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 1: The drill, called Smart Control of the Strait of Her

188
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 1: Moves was led by the naval forces of the Islamic

189
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 1: Revolutionary Guard you know in them as the IRGC, and

190
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 1: it came under the supervision of the Commander in chief,

191
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:32,840
Speaker 1: the Major General Muhammad Pakpoor, according to Iran International Now.

192
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:36,439
Speaker 1: State media also said the exercise was organized to assess

193
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 1: the readiness of operational units, review security plans, and rehearse

194
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 1: scenarios for responding to any security or military threats in

195
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:50,199
Speaker 1: the area. The exercise came within hours of renewed diplomatic

196
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:54,319
Speaker 1: efforts starting in Geneva, basically saying you're going to bring

197
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:57,400
Speaker 1: all your military assets to this part of the world. Fine,

198
00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:00,600
Speaker 1: we'll show you what we can do. Think that's going

199
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:03,800
Speaker 1: to have any impact on Donald Trump or the US military.

200
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:06,680
Speaker 1: I am in Geneva with real idea is to achieve

201
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 1: a fair and acuable deal. Is what the Iranian Foreign

202
00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:12,760
Speaker 1: Minister wrote on x Monday. What is not on the

203
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 1: table submission before threats? President Donald Trump has ordered this

204
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 1: build up of the US military forces in the Middle East,

205
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 1: much like exactly what happened when we went into you

206
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:28,840
Speaker 1: guessed it, Venezuela, and it's threatened to strike Iran if

207
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 1: its leadership does not agree to a deal on its

208
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 1: nuclear program. On Friday, Trump also offered an endorsement of

209
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 1: regime change in Tehran and said it would be the

210
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:43,960
Speaker 1: best thing that could happen for Iran and the Iranian people.

211
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:47,680
Speaker 1: US Central Command or SYNCOM, went on to show US

212
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 1: military presence in the region on Monday as well, making

213
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:54,560
Speaker 1: it very clear that we're not messing around, putting out

214
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 1: a tweet saying the EA DASH eighteen G growlers from

215
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:03,200
Speaker 1: Electronic tax Squadron WON thirty three and the F thirty

216
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:06,960
Speaker 1: five S Lightning from Marine Fighter Squadron one to fourteen

217
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 1: prepare for launch on the deck of the USS Abraham Lincoln,

218
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 1: operating in international waters in the Middle East. The aircraft

219
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:19,520
Speaker 1: carry conducts around the clock. It is very clear that

220
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:22,720
Speaker 1: the President is wanting them to understand in Iran, we're

221
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 1: not messing around either. The Pentagon has also been building

222
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:30,480
Speaker 1: up what Trump has ascribed as an armada in the region.

223
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 1: The USS Abraham Lincoln is present and It's flanked by

224
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 1: three warships equipped with Tomahawk missiles and is at the

225
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:42,600
Speaker 1: center of a broader US naval build up in the region. Meanwhile,

226
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:45,320
Speaker 1: Tehran said the second round of talks would be held

227
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:49,320
Speaker 1: on Tuesday with the Mediation and Good Offices of Oman.

228
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 1: Negotiations restarted on February the sixth, after previous talks collapsed

229
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 1: when Israel launched an unprecedent bombing campaign against Iran in

230
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 1: June that sparked a twelve day war and escalated tensions

231
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 1: across the region. On Monday, US Ambassador to Israel Miake

232
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 1: Kakabee said there was quote significant and legitimate doubt that

233
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 1: the Iranians will ever agree to something that would cause

234
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 1: them to lay down any ambitions of nuclear weaponry. Trump

235
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 1: also told reporters on Monday, I'll be involved in those

236
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:27,160
Speaker 1: talks directly, and they'll be very important, and we'll see

237
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 1: what can happen. He added, I would say they're bad

238
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:34,200
Speaker 1: negotiators because we could have had a deal instead of

239
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 1: sending the B twos to knock out their nuclear potential.

240
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 1: I hope they're going to be more reasonable. They want

241
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 1: to make a deal now.

242
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:44,200
Speaker 2: Doland. Trump also made it very clear.

243
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 1: As he was on the tarmac reiterating before he got

244
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 1: on Air Force one when he was asked a question

245
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:52,120
Speaker 1: by a reporter, do you want regime change in Iran?

246
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 2: The President said this again.

247
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:56,240
Speaker 6: There's huge change in or on.

248
00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 5: Well, it seems like that would be the best thing

249
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 5: that could happen.

250
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:03,240
Speaker 2: But for forty seven years they've been talking to talking

251
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:06,040
Speaker 2: to talk. In the meantime, we've lost a lot of

252
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:10,120
Speaker 2: lives while they talk and legs blown off, arms blown off,

253
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:13,440
Speaker 2: faces blown off, has been going on for a long time.

254
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:16,240
Speaker 2: So let's see what happens in the meantime.

255
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:20,600
Speaker 5: We have meantime, we have tremendous power has arrived and

256
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 5: additional power as you know, and other carriers going out shortly,

257
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:27,280
Speaker 5: So we'll see it. How if we could get it.

258
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 2: Settled for once and for all, that would be good.

259
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:30,440
Speaker 5: Don't want it.

260
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 2: But who would you want to take on? I don't

261
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 2: want to talk about that. Who would you want to

262
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 2: take over? I don't want to talk about that.

263
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 1: The President obviously knows exactly what he's doing here when

264
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:44,680
Speaker 1: it comes to negotiating, and this also comes as the

265
00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 1: Iranian leaders are fighting back as well, and the Middle

266
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 1: East tensions are very clear that you now have Trump

267
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 1: that's making all the moves and what is Iran doing.

268
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:57,840
Speaker 1: Here's how one of the experts on Fox put it.

269
00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 4: Clearly, Yeah, Melissa, there are questions on both parties about

270
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:03,480
Speaker 4: what comes next.

271
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:06,440
Speaker 6: You know, if you go forward with this no.

272
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:08,920
Speaker 7: Look, I think that the president has tried, you know,

273
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:11,920
Speaker 7: for weeks on and to do this diplomatically, and he

274
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,800
Speaker 7: is demonstrating to the regime in the Middle East that

275
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 7: he is serious and that he is making all of

276
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 7: the moves that if he has to use force, he

277
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:22,680
Speaker 7: will not hesitate, and we've seen him not hesitate in

278
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:25,560
Speaker 7: other places. So I agree that he needs to be

279
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 7: making this case to the American public if he is

280
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 7: indeed going to use force, or else you're going to

281
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:32,680
Speaker 7: end up in a Venezuela situation where one morning the

282
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:35,160
Speaker 7: country wakes up and it's like whiplash and you have

283
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 7: no idea how you got there. So if he is

284
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:39,200
Speaker 7: going to move forward, it looks more likely he's going

285
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 7: to do this. It would behoove him to lay the

286
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 7: groundwork for the American public to get there.

287
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:43,440
Speaker 3: Buy in.

288
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 1: One thing is very clear. Donald Trump is in control.

289
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:52,040
Speaker 1: He's willing to negotiate, but he's not going to allow

290
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:54,880
Speaker 1: a Ran to get nuclear weapons or move forward with

291
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:58,840
Speaker 1: a nuclear program. And so now it really comes up

292
00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 1: to the one issue, will theren come to the table

293
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:04,159
Speaker 1: or will the President have to push back in a

294
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:07,800
Speaker 1: very real way. One thing is for sure, he's certainly

295
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:11,679
Speaker 1: using every tool in his toolbox to avoid a real conflict.

296
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 1: And now we just have to wait and see what happens.

297
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:19,000
Speaker 1: There has been a warning and it's been coming from

298
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:22,360
Speaker 1: this administration for a very long time. Donald Trump making

299
00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:25,080
Speaker 1: it clear we must secure our borders and we don't

300
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:27,280
Speaker 1: need to be allowing so many people from around the

301
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 1: world to come into this country until we get immigration

302
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:34,320
Speaker 1: under control. This is a major contrast to what we're

303
00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:38,880
Speaker 1: now learning that the United States regularly settled migrants from

304
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:43,440
Speaker 1: the most corrupt nations in the world across American communities.

305
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:47,879
Speaker 1: That coming from a new analysis. Last year, President Donald

306
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:53,720
Speaker 1: Trump halted much of this immigration via executive orders. The analysis,

307
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:58,159
Speaker 1: published by the Center for Immigration Studies, looked at countries

308
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:03,919
Speaker 1: whose citizens Trump executive orders have either entirely or partially

309
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:07,920
Speaker 1: banned from immigrating to the United States of America. Now,

310
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:13,119
Speaker 1: in particular, The analysis highlights corruption levels on a nation

311
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 1: by nation basis, showing that in the fiscal year twenty

312
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:21,880
Speaker 1: twenty four and likely prior years, the US issued visas

313
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:27,359
Speaker 1: to tens of thousands of foreign nationals literally from the

314
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:32,720
Speaker 1: most corrupt countries in the entire world. South Sudan, for example,

315
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:36,280
Speaker 1: is ranked as the most corrupt country in the world

316
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:41,879
Speaker 1: according to a study by Transparency International. Somalia is ranked

317
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:45,679
Speaker 1: as the second most corrupt country in the world. Yet,

318
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:49,560
Speaker 1: in the fiscal year twenty twenty four, nearly one thousand

319
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:55,840
Speaker 1: eight internationals from South Sudan and Somalia were issued purposefully

320
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 1: by the United States government visus to come to the

321
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 1: United States of America. Venezuela, which has been partially banned

322
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 1: from visa issuance, ranked as the third most corrupt country

323
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:14,760
Speaker 1: in the world. Despite this, the Biden administration in the

324
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:20,119
Speaker 1: fiscal year twenty twenty four admitted almost two thousand, six

325
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 1: hundred Venezuelans to the United States of America after issuing

326
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:31,640
Speaker 1: them visas. The Center for Immigration Studies Ronald Mortensen writes

327
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:36,080
Speaker 1: that vetting for nationals in such corrupt countries is nearly

328
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 1: impossible to vet for US officials. Quote in these countries,

329
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 1: there can be no assurance that the documents available to

330
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:50,720
Speaker 1: even vet the individuals applying for the admittance into the

331
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:57,119
Speaker 1: United States are valid or even accurate. Mortenson continues due

332
00:19:57,280 --> 00:20:05,520
Speaker 1: to a combination of incompetence, poor or no record keeping, fraud, bribery,

333
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:11,560
Speaker 1: and personal dishonesty. It's impossible to know what is real

334
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:14,280
Speaker 1: and what's not. Now, let's go to that list for

335
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:16,320
Speaker 1: just a second. And this is the warning that Donald

336
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:20,040
Speaker 1: Trump gave. When there is poor or no record keeping

337
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:25,200
Speaker 1: or incompetency or corruption at this level in different countries,

338
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:30,440
Speaker 1: it's very easy to pay off officials to fraudulently make documents.

339
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:34,119
Speaker 1: You can bribe them. There is personal dishonesty within the

340
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:38,440
Speaker 1: government as well. Quote for the payment of a bribe,

341
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:42,520
Speaker 1: A citizen of these countries, and in some cases, even

342
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:47,200
Speaker 1: a non citizen of that country, can obtain the official

343
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:52,400
Speaker 1: documents necessary to apply for entry into the United States,

344
00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:58,280
Speaker 1: including a fake birth certificate, doctored law enforcement records, a

345
00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:05,720
Speaker 1: phony diploma, a forged passport, fictitious bank statements, and all

346
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:11,320
Speaker 1: other documents normally used by US officials to vet individuals

347
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:16,439
Speaker 1: before they're allowed to enter the United States. Mortensen rights

348
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:20,879
Speaker 1: that Trump was left with no option other than to

349
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:24,719
Speaker 1: suspend entry from highly corrupt countries in order to prevent

350
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:30,359
Speaker 1: the further importation of cultures of corruption, since effective vetting

351
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:33,520
Speaker 1: is not possible now. To be clear, what the study

352
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:35,320
Speaker 1: is saying is that if you want to get to

353
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 1: the front of the line and you want to come

354
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:39,320
Speaker 1: to the United States of America from these corrupt countries,

355
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:42,159
Speaker 1: you're probably going to have to pay up and then

356
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:44,960
Speaker 1: someone's going to lie on your behalf. And if you

357
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:47,920
Speaker 1: are a law abiding citizen in one of these corrupt countries,

358
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:52,119
Speaker 1: the chances of you actually getting the documents you need

359
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 1: to try to come to the United States of America

360
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:57,520
Speaker 1: are actually very unlikely because you would have to pay

361
00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:00,600
Speaker 1: bribes to even get in line to be able to

362
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:03,639
Speaker 1: come to the United States of America. You can understand

363
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:06,840
Speaker 1: why this is such a massive problem now if you

364
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:10,040
Speaker 1: look at the actual list of the most corrupt countries

365
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:22,640
Speaker 1: South Sudan, Somalia, Syria, Ecuadorial, Guinea, Libya, Yemen, Soudan, Burma, Haiti, Afghanistan,

366
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 1: Republic of the Congo, chad Iran, Mali, Laos, Sierra Leone, Niger,

367
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:35,360
Speaker 1: and that is just a partialist of the countries that

368
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 1: the President of the United States of America said, we

369
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:41,600
Speaker 1: just cannot trust you when you look at how corrupt

370
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:44,160
Speaker 1: they are, They're almost all at ten out of ten.

371
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:49,359
Speaker 1: And then you have the migrant visas. You had many

372
00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:53,919
Speaker 1: of them that were categorized as special immigrants, for example

373
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:59,880
Speaker 1: in Afghanistan, thirty three thousand. You look at employment preference

374
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:04,120
Speaker 1: coming out of Afghanistan. For example, of the thirty three thousand,

375
00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:10,680
Speaker 1: only twenty eight were because of jobs diversity immigrants coming

376
00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:15,280
Speaker 1: out of Afghanistan. Of the thirty three thousand, only one thousand.

377
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:18,760
Speaker 1: You look at the numbers, it is truly staggering. And

378
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 1: this is exactly who the Biden administration was letting in

379
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:25,520
Speaker 1: to the United States of America. Which also brings us

380
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:29,480
Speaker 1: to something interesting that Hillary Clinton said this week as

381
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:34,399
Speaker 1: she was speaking, of course, trashing America, she did accidentally

382
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:37,399
Speaker 1: tell the truth when she was talking at the Security

383
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:38,639
Speaker 1: Council in Munich.

384
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 8: Here is a legitimate reason to have a debate about

385
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:44,200
Speaker 8: things like migration.

386
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 2: It went too far.

387
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:50,639
Speaker 8: It's been disruptive and destabilizing, and it needs to be

388
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:54,479
Speaker 8: fixed in a humane way with secure borders that don't

389
00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:58,360
Speaker 8: torture and kill people, and how we're going to have

390
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:00,600
Speaker 8: a strong family structure because it is.

391
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:06,080
Speaker 1: You listen to Hillary Clinton there, even she's telling the

392
00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:10,040
Speaker 1: truth being blown on immigration. It needs to be fixed

393
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:13,280
Speaker 1: in a humane way with secure borders that don't torture.

394
00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:13,720
Speaker 2: And kill people.

395
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:16,720
Speaker 1: She went on to say, of course, accusing the Trump

396
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:21,359
Speaker 1: administration of killing and torturing people, which is not happening. Yeah,

397
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 1: she's still going to play politics and still slander her

398
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:28,359
Speaker 1: own government and attack ice agents, just like Barack Obama

399
00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:31,920
Speaker 1: did this past week as well, implying that our agents

400
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:36,400
Speaker 1: are so evil that well we should hold them accountable.

401
00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:43,080
Speaker 6: The role behavior of agents of the federal government is

402
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:51,600
Speaker 6: deeply concerning and dangerous, the sort of behavior that in

403
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:55,040
Speaker 6: the past we've seen in authoritarian countries and we've seen

404
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:58,960
Speaker 6: in dictatorships, but we have not seen in America.

405
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:03,480
Speaker 1: So Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and you can also add

406
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:07,360
Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom to the list of politicians saying we need

407
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:09,600
Speaker 1: to have a more orderly way of doing this in

408
00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:12,360
Speaker 1: America instead of having wide open borders which they created,

409
00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:16,439
Speaker 1: but slandering American law enforcement and the Trump administration at

410
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:17,960
Speaker 1: the exact same time.

411
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:21,320
Speaker 5: But I want to remember all those images of masked men,

412
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:26,760
Speaker 5: the secret police, something familiar in Germany. Those first images

413
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 5: came out of my state, the second largest city in

414
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:32,479
Speaker 5: the United States of America. We saw four thousand National

415
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:34,480
Speaker 5: Guard federalized first time.

416
00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:35,560
Speaker 6: We never see anything like.

417
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:39,440
Speaker 5: This, and seven hundred active duty Marines sent not overseas,

418
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:41,439
Speaker 5: but to the second largest city in the United States

419
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:45,040
Speaker 5: of America, militarizing the streets of my city. Masked men,

420
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:49,000
Speaker 5: masked men showing up, unaccountable, no idea, ideas.

421
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:53,240
Speaker 1: So to be clear, Democrats today are admitting they created

422
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:56,120
Speaker 1: the chaos, but they're more angry at the man who's

423
00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:59,600
Speaker 1: cleaning up their mass, Donald Trump. And what Donald Trump

424
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:03,440
Speaker 1: is is saying, not only am I cleaning up your

425
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:07,639
Speaker 1: mess in America that you created and in places like

426
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:12,240
Speaker 1: California or Minnesota, but I'm also making sure that those

427
00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:14,920
Speaker 1: that are taking advantages that are coming in on visas

428
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:18,800
Speaker 1: are being stopped as well. And this is exactly what

429
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:22,320
Speaker 1: Donald Trump promised in the campaign, and he's clearly making

430
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:25,680
Speaker 1: good on that promise. And it's driving the left crazy,

431
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:29,600
Speaker 1: which is now why they're comparing Ice agents to Nazis,

432
00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:33,399
Speaker 1: even while they're in Germany. In Munich at a conference

433
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:35,160
Speaker 1: attacking their own country.

434
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:37,040
Speaker 2: Well, keep following this story.

435
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 1: I can promise you that we've got a lot more

436
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:41,760
Speaker 1: that's going to happen the days ahead, So make sure
