Good 28 00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:44,840 Speaker 1: to see you both. So look, I was talking with 29 00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:46,840 Speaker 1: Brian Glynn the other day and I told him that 30 00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:48,800 Speaker 1: I felt like I was trying to drink out of 31 00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:51,600 Speaker 1: a fire hose when it comes to news, because it's 32 00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:54,600 Speaker 1: always coming at you. There is no let up. One 33 00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,920 Speaker 1: of the latest stories that we're monitoring, Republicans are taking 34 00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:02,279 Speaker 1: another crack at Department of Homeland Security funding. A vote 35 00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:04,920 Speaker 1: is expected today. Here's the AP headline. All of that 36 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,200 Speaker 1: they're citing Iran again, votes in the House likely to 37 00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:12,120 Speaker 1: happen today, potentially also votes in the US Senate. All 38 00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:16,639 Speaker 1: of this, of course, comes after Democrats, specifically Senate Democrats, 39 00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:21,520 Speaker 1: held up funding for the Department of Homeland Homeland Security 40 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:26,560 Speaker 1: over ice reform. But guys, it's time to go ahead 41 00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:28,240 Speaker 1: and make something happen. To go on and pass this 42 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,880 Speaker 1: because our country is now being threatened now that we're war. 43 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,560 Speaker 1: Doctor Gina this has got to get through. It would 44 00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:38,600 Speaker 1: be it's already a shame, but would absolutely be a 45 00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:41,040 Speaker 1: shame if Democrats were to continue to hold this up 46 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:42,440 Speaker 1: given the current circumstances. 47 00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:45,680 Speaker 4: This has nothing to do with our current circumstances. This 48 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:48,160 Speaker 4: has everything to do with the Democrats wanting to win 49 00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:52,800 Speaker 4: the midterms and being machiavellian about it. Frankly, and I 50 00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:54,400 Speaker 4: don't see that lighting up, do you, Emily? 51 00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,360 Speaker 6: Unfortunately not, Gina. This is what seems to happen in 52 00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:59,720 Speaker 6: our Congress. You know, we've had you know, the Republicans 53 00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,800 Speaker 6: and control of power, the presidency of the House and Senate, 54 00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,200 Speaker 6: and this was the prime time to get so much done, 55 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:07,320 Speaker 6: but unfortunately they have it. And I think this is 56 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:09,799 Speaker 6: going to translate into the midterms. We'll have to see 57 00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:11,120 Speaker 6: how that plays out next November. 58 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,880 Speaker 1: Terrence, Well, I hope in times of war that if 59 00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:17,320 Speaker 1: in fact the Democrats continue to try to hold this up, 60 00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:20,600 Speaker 1: it will absolutely backfire on them because it's shameful. I mean, 61 00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:23,240 Speaker 1: you have to think about things like this. You've got 62 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:27,440 Speaker 1: tsa agents, you know, who aren't being paid, some of 63 00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:31,359 Speaker 1: them calling in. We know that in the past airplanes, 64 00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:35,120 Speaker 1: our airports have been centers for terrorists to try to 65 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:38,200 Speaker 1: attack our country in times of war. Now, you've got 66 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:40,040 Speaker 1: to fund those folks. You've got to get them paid, 67 00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:43,240 Speaker 1: make sure they're motivated to take those extra measures to 68 00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:46,440 Speaker 1: keep our people safe. And if Democrats vote against that, 69 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:47,120 Speaker 1: shame on them. 70 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 4: Just how well it should be privatized to begin with. 71 00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:51,720 Speaker 4: We shouldn't be paying TSA. 72 00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 1: And I know that's your thing. 73 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 5: Yeah, you're the government. It's not constitutional. Anyway. 74 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,960 Speaker 4: Let's get to today's Bible versus from Romans eight to eight, 75 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:01,000 Speaker 4: and you know they're all things work together for the 76 00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:03,640 Speaker 4: good of those who love God, who are called according 77 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:08,800 Speaker 4: to His purpose. And that's probably my most oft quoted 78 00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:09,800 Speaker 4: to my children. 79 00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:11,880 Speaker 5: I love that one. 80 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,640 Speaker 4: All Right over to Iran where President Trump says the 81 00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:16,600 Speaker 4: efforts there, he says, they're going. 82 00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:17,440 Speaker 5: Well, take a look. 83 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:20,120 Speaker 7: Somebody said, on a scale of ten, where would you're ready? 84 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:24,240 Speaker 7: I said about a fifteen. And we're going to continue 85 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,880 Speaker 7: to do what We have the greatest military in the 86 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:32,080 Speaker 7: world by far, and that was a tremendous threat test 87 00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:34,480 Speaker 7: for many years forty seven years, have been killing our 88 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:36,800 Speaker 7: people and killing people from all over the world. And 89 00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:39,480 Speaker 7: I think we have great support and I think if 90 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 7: we didn't do it first, they would have done it 91 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:45,719 Speaker 7: to Israel and give us a shot if that was possible, 92 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:48,760 Speaker 7: and if we didn't terminate the worst deal, one of 93 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:52,400 Speaker 7: the worst deals ever made, the Obama Nuclear deal. 94 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:54,240 Speaker 8: I call it the Obama Nuclear. 95 00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:58,080 Speaker 7: Deal, where he gave everything to Iran, including a nuclear weapon. 96 00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:00,680 Speaker 7: It was a road to a nuclear weapon. Bad things 97 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:02,720 Speaker 7: would have happened four years ago because they would have 98 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:04,839 Speaker 7: had a weapon four years ago if I didn't terminate 99 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:05,320 Speaker 7: that deal. 100 00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:14,560 Speaker 4: Let's bring in Texas Congressman Randy Webber, Congressman. You know 101 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:18,120 Speaker 4: it's if you look at social media, it's a whole 102 00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:24,680 Speaker 4: mix of people with opinions. How does President Trump work 103 00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:28,960 Speaker 4: by the midterms to bring it to sort of coalesce 104 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:32,159 Speaker 4: this division that's really all over the place. I mean 105 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:35,679 Speaker 4: a good forty percent of MAGA is in a different 106 00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:38,160 Speaker 4: headspace than they were, certainly in. 107 00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 5: The last election. 108 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:42,400 Speaker 4: So what do you what's your advice if you were 109 00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:44,520 Speaker 4: to give them advice today, which I know you don't do, 110 00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:45,480 Speaker 4: but just play. 111 00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:45,680 Speaker 5: With me here. 112 00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,120 Speaker 9: Well, well, good morning, Jane and I love Roman Date 113 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:51,080 Speaker 9: twenty eight. We serve a God of love and life, 114 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:54,960 Speaker 9: and unfortunately the Iranian you know regime. They serve a 115 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,800 Speaker 9: god of death, and so I think people need to 116 00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:01,320 Speaker 9: realize that the President Trump is working to prevent that 117 00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:05,280 Speaker 9: very regime of death from killing Americans all over the place. 118 00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:09,000 Speaker 9: If you went back into you look doctor Jeana at 119 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,000 Speaker 9: some of the times when war has been declared by 120 00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:14,640 Speaker 9: the United States, uh, you know, World War One, world 121 00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:17,039 Speaker 9: War II. You can pick up those times. But you 122 00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:18,800 Speaker 9: can pick up the Gulf War. You can pick up 123 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,440 Speaker 9: when Obama sent missiles into Syria. All of those things 124 00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:26,280 Speaker 9: in the past, Joe Biden's this dismal withdrawal in Afghanistan. 125 00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:30,440 Speaker 9: All of those things did not have congressional approval. The 126 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:33,280 Speaker 9: president did what the president had to do. And I 127 00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:36,240 Speaker 9: hope people get that. There's people when people tell you 128 00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:38,680 Speaker 9: they want to kill you, and you're you know, America 129 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:40,839 Speaker 9: has been They've been calling America the Great Satan in 130 00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:44,640 Speaker 9: Israel the small Satan for years and years and years 131 00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:46,920 Speaker 9: that I can remember. When people want to kill you, 132 00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:50,520 Speaker 9: we should we should believe that we shouldn't play politics. 133 00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:53,560 Speaker 9: I know the Democrats don't like President Trump for a 134 00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:57,360 Speaker 9: myriad of reasons. And I know there are people Republicans 135 00:06:57,720 --> 00:06:59,320 Speaker 9: and some of the magic of people that think we 136 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,800 Speaker 9: shouldn't be involved in this melee, if you want to 137 00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:04,880 Speaker 9: call it that. But the truth of the matter is 138 00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:10,760 Speaker 9: they are the biggest largest terrorists in the history. I'm 139 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,520 Speaker 9: seventy two years old that I've ever seen. I've been 140 00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:16,200 Speaker 9: paying attention since Reagan run for re election at eighty three. 141 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 8: I've never seen anything like this, and that was. 142 00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:20,440 Speaker 9: By the way, about when the baby bombing happened, if 143 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:24,000 Speaker 9: I remember correctly. So I think people should pay attention 144 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:27,880 Speaker 9: and say thank God for President Trump for taking them 145 00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:31,680 Speaker 9: out because those idiots terrorists can never be allowed to 146 00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:32,680 Speaker 9: have a nuclear weapon. 147 00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 6: Yeah, Congressman Well said, they can never be allowed to 148 00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:37,400 Speaker 6: have a nuclear weapon. 149 00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:39,320 Speaker 10: I do want to move on to other topics. 150 00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:41,400 Speaker 6: I know iron is the main focus right now, but 151 00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:42,440 Speaker 6: I want to get your take on. 152 00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:43,720 Speaker 10: This CNBC headline. 153 00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:48,840 Speaker 6: Epstein files Howard Lutnick volunteers to testify to House Oversight Committee. 154 00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:51,480 Speaker 6: He has not been accused of any wrongdoing, but he 155 00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:54,920 Speaker 6: has been to Epstein's private islands. The Oversight Committee also 156 00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:58,720 Speaker 6: subpoenaed Attorney General Pam BONDI that was quite interesting. 157 00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:00,720 Speaker 10: What do you see out of this? 158 00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:03,680 Speaker 6: I mean, Pam Bondi said she had a list of 159 00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:06,880 Speaker 6: Epstein people on her desk. I mean, at the very least, 160 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:08,800 Speaker 6: I think they need to question her about that. 161 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:12,600 Speaker 9: Well, Secretary Howard Luttnik is doing a great job of 162 00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:16,440 Speaker 9: leading the Department of Commerce, and look, it's transparency and 163 00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:20,440 Speaker 9: that goes from Bondi and Luttning anybody else really, even 164 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:23,240 Speaker 9: the Clinton's believe it or not. And so I think 165 00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:25,160 Speaker 9: he's doing a good job. He's willing to go on there, 166 00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:27,920 Speaker 9: he's willing to testify.

What's the forecast looking like 337 00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:39,280 Speaker 1: right now? 338 00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:42,760 Speaker 14: Hey, you know, Terrence, we are kind of kicking off 339 00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:46,679 Speaker 14: spring or meteorological spring with a bang because we are 340 00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:49,000 Speaker 14: kind of in the middle of a multi day severe 341 00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:52,159 Speaker 14: weather outbreak. We have several systems that will spark severe 342 00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:55,679 Speaker 14: weather across areas like Dallas, Texas. They had some strong 343 00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:59,359 Speaker 14: storms throughout the day yesterday and we're still tracking some 344 00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:03,359 Speaker 14: of those storms with that first system across parts of 345 00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:07,520 Speaker 14: the Ohio Valley. So very impressive rainfall rates. You notice 346 00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:11,120 Speaker 14: we do have a few flash flood warnings here. We've 347 00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:13,440 Speaker 14: had rainfall rates of an inch to an inch and 348 00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:17,159 Speaker 14: a half per hour. Now, this is all warm, moist 349 00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:21,159 Speaker 14: air that's lifting north from the Gulf that's leaving nearly 350 00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:24,760 Speaker 14: fifty million people under dense fog advisories this morning from 351 00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:27,840 Speaker 14: the Gulf coast all the way up to the Great lakes, 352 00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:29,840 Speaker 14: and there's a few spots where we will have some 353 00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:35,200 Speaker 14: winter weather, like the northeast and the rocky mountains out west. So, Terrence, 354 00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:37,919 Speaker 14: this is a spring like setup. There's lots of activity 355 00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:41,240 Speaker 14: and really all different weather stories from coast to coast. 356 00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:44,760 Speaker 1: All right, Tracy, thank you so much, appreciate it. 357 00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:45,600 Speaker 15: Yep. 358 00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:50,520 Speaker 1: Up next, a very important phone call. So how did 359 00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:54,160 Speaker 1: one conversation between President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin 360 00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:57,000 Speaker 1: and Yahoo set the last few days of events in 361 00:18:57,040 --> 00:19:00,400 Speaker 1: the motion. We'll talk about it first, though, a quick 362 00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:17,040 Speaker 1: look at this day in history. Seventeen seventy the tensions 363 00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:20,720 Speaker 1: between the American colonists and British soldiers erupted in Boston. 364 00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:25,800 Speaker 1: After a heated confrontation outside the custom tops, British troops 365 00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:29,280 Speaker 1: fired into a crowd of colonists. Five men were killed 366 00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:32,160 Speaker 1: in that in what became known as the Boston Massacre. 367 00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:36,280 Speaker 1: The incident sparked outrage throughout the colonies and helped fuel 368 00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:41,080 Speaker 1: the growing movement toward the American Revolution. More American Sunrise 369 00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:42,520 Speaker 1: coming your way after this break. 370 00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:06,440 Speaker 6: Welcome back to American Sunrise. A phone call between President 371 00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:10,040 Speaker 6: Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyah, who helped accelerate 372 00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:14,560 Speaker 6: military action against Iran Axio supports Netanyah, who shared intelligence 373 00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:17,919 Speaker 6: about a rare meeting where Iron Supreme leader and several 374 00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:21,120 Speaker 6: top advisors would be gathered all in one place. US 375 00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:25,040 Speaker 6: intelligence confirmed that information, increasing the urgency for a strike, 376 00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:27,479 Speaker 6: and President Trump authorized. 377 00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:28,920 Speaker 10: The operation days later. 378 00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:32,600 Speaker 6: For more, let's bring in former Israeli government spokesperson Alon 379 00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:35,400 Speaker 6: Levy Alan. Thank you so much for joining us this morning. 380 00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:38,240 Speaker 6: I understand that you are in Tel Aviv right now. 381 00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:39,359 Speaker 6: Tell us what it's like. 382 00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:43,600 Speaker 16: I am in tel Aviv. Israel has lifted the state 383 00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:46,320 Speaker 16: of emergency and people are trying to get back to 384 00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:48,600 Speaker 16: their normal lives. We have three sirens in the middle 385 00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:52,600 Speaker 16: of the night, two today, but we're determined to keep 386 00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:56,440 Speaker 16: morale high and back the US is righty coalition as 387 00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:59,040 Speaker 16: they finished the job against the bad guys who want 388 00:20:59,040 --> 00:20:59,800 Speaker 16: to kill all of us. 389 00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:05,280 Speaker 1: Alon, finish the job. Describe what that would mean for 390 00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:08,560 Speaker 1: you or how does that look? Ah? Yeah, how does 391 00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:10,520 Speaker 1: that look? What is finishing the job? 392 00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:15,800 Speaker 16: Finishing the job means two things. One, destroying the Iranian 393 00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:19,959 Speaker 16: regime's ability to continue waging aggression against its neighbors and 394 00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:23,480 Speaker 16: America it means destroying all of the ballistic missiles, the 395 00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:27,480 Speaker 16: ballistic missile launches, the ballistic missile factories. It means destroying 396 00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:31,280 Speaker 16: the secret, illegal nuclear weapons program. It means destroying the 397 00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:36,240 Speaker 16: Iranian regime's ability to support its terrorist proxy forces throughout 398 00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:38,280 Speaker 16: the Middle East and give our neighbors a chance to 399 00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:41,640 Speaker 16: break free from the clutches of the Iranian regime. And 400 00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:44,960 Speaker 16: finishing the job means giving the brave Iranian people a 401 00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:47,760 Speaker 16: chance to rise up and take their country back so 402 00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:51,359 Speaker 16: they can build a country that is free, democratic, and 403 00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:54,560 Speaker 16: at peace with its neighbors. Because we all understand, as 404 00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:57,840 Speaker 16: long as Iran is governed by a regime that will 405 00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:01,200 Speaker 16: pour billions of dollars and stop at nothing to bring 406 00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:04,040 Speaker 16: death to America and death to Israel, there can be 407 00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:07,480 Speaker 16: no peace. So best case scenario, the Iranian people take 408 00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:09,879 Speaker 16: their country back, but will settle for taking away the 409 00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:12,880 Speaker 16: Iranian regimes weapons so it can't hurt or threaten us. 410 00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:15,000 Speaker 1: Okay. 411 00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:20,280 Speaker 4: The New York Times headline reads like this, Alatola Ali 412 00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:23,600 Speaker 4: Kameni's son emerges as leading. 413 00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:27,720 Speaker 5: Choice to be his successor. How is this going to be? 414 00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:32,000 Speaker 4: How is this going to be a change that produces 415 00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:32,920 Speaker 4: good things. 416 00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:37,560 Speaker 16: It's not, and that's why President Trump is warning Iranian 417 00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:41,480 Speaker 16: officials you have two options, surrender or die. He's putting 418 00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:44,560 Speaker 16: American leadership back on the table and telling the Iranians 419 00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:48,240 Speaker 16: you can lay down your arms and receive total immunity 420 00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:51,200 Speaker 16: and work with us, or you can continue to fight 421 00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:55,080 Speaker 16: us and face certain death. The US Israeli Coalition are 422 00:22:55,240 --> 00:23:00,199 Speaker 16: done with the Iranian regime exporting terrorism, violence, regime with 423 00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:03,720 Speaker 16: so much American, Israeli Arab Iranian blood on its hands, 424 00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:07,520 Speaker 16: wanting more. And that's why President Trump says, Iranians are 425 00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:10,159 Speaker 16: getting in touch because they want to defect. Look, you 426 00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:13,320 Speaker 16: would have to be suicidal to want a leadership position 427 00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:17,359 Speaker 16: in Iran right now. This war began with an astonishing 428 00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:22,160 Speaker 16: Israeli strike that killed forty of Iran's most senior leaders 429 00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:27,560 Speaker 16: in forty seconds, including the tyrant Ayatollah Ali Jmene so 430 00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:32,879 Speaker 16: mod Taba Kamine Kmene the second is a hardliner. He 431 00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:36,320 Speaker 16: is not going to support peace, and that is why 432 00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:39,840 Speaker 16: it is important that America is keeping up the pressure 433 00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:43,880 Speaker 16: on the Iranian regime so that they, even if they 434 00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:46,840 Speaker 16: pick a hard liner, will not have the weapons with 435 00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:50,920 Speaker 16: which to blackmail America. And can definitely not get nuclear weapons. 436 00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:51,840 Speaker 1: Yeah. 437 00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:54,760 Speaker 6: Absolutely, And as you said, that strike really was astounding. 438 00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:56,480 Speaker 10: I mean it was a powerful show of. 439 00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:58,879 Speaker 6: Force taking out all of these leaders all at once. 440 00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:02,000 Speaker 6: But the same time, no one wants to see violence, 441 00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:04,280 Speaker 6: no one wants to see killings. And here in the US, 442 00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:07,120 Speaker 6: endless wars is something that we keep hearing a whole 443 00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:10,240 Speaker 6: lot about. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netyahoo says that United 444 00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:13,400 Speaker 6: States and Israel strikes on Iran will not turn into 445 00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:16,679 Speaker 6: endless wars. Natanyahu said the goal of the military campaign 446 00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:19,440 Speaker 6: is to eliminate Iran's nuclear missile threats, as you keep 447 00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:21,080 Speaker 6: pointing out, Alon, and. 448 00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:22,440 Speaker 10: To protect both countries. 449 00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:25,520 Speaker 6: He praised President Trump for supporting the operation, saying the 450 00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:28,240 Speaker 6: strikes are necessary to stop what he calls a dangerous 451 00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:29,240 Speaker 6: regime in Tehran. 452 00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:31,560 Speaker 10: How long do you see this lasting. 453 00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:33,679 Speaker 6: No one wants an endless war, How long do you 454 00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:35,320 Speaker 6: see this conflict playing out? 455 00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:39,000 Speaker 16: This is not going to be a forever war, because 456 00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:41,919 Speaker 16: the whole point is to stop the forever war that 457 00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:45,440 Speaker 16: the Iranian regime has been waging against the United States 458 00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:49,679 Speaker 16: and its allies. The US Israel coalition are acting first. 459 00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:53,320 Speaker 16: The two most powerful air forces in the world. A secretary, 460 00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:57,399 Speaker 16: Hegseth called them bombing thousands of targets in Iran because 461 00:24:57,400 --> 00:25:00,879 Speaker 16: we want to get this over quickly, so we're looking 462 00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:04,240 Speaker 16: at probably weeks. There is a large target bank because 463 00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:07,920 Speaker 16: the Iranian regime has scattered its ballistic, missile and nuclear 464 00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:11,359 Speaker 16: programs all throughout the country. But Israel and the US 465 00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:15,080 Speaker 16: are moving very quickly together because this is about ending 466 00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:18,200 Speaker 16: the threat from the Iranian regime that has been lashing 467 00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:20,760 Speaker 16: out and bombing every country in the Middle East, and 468 00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:24,760 Speaker 16: definitely not starting a longer war, which is absolutely not 469 00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:27,960 Speaker 16: something we want. Israel has been under attack from the 470 00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:32,600 Speaker 16: Iranian regime and its proxy armies for the last two years. 471 00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:35,679 Speaker 16: They started this war. We're determined to end it. 472 00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:39,320 Speaker 1: And to your point of ending the war, it seems 473 00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:42,919 Speaker 1: to me that there's a different motivation here because the 474 00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:46,720 Speaker 1: war isn't just what Iran IDF forces have also gone 475 00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:49,880 Speaker 1: into southern Libanon right now and are fighting Hesbalad there. 476 00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:52,560 Speaker 1: It seems to me that the motivation is to truly 477 00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:54,720 Speaker 1: get this done once and for all, not to just 478 00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:55,680 Speaker 1: piecemeal a war. 479 00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:59,960 Speaker 16: This time, Yes, Israel is taking action against Hezbola because 480 00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:01,720 Speaker 16: has Bolla joined the war on the side of the 481 00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:02,640 Speaker 16: Islamic Republic. 482 00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:03,560 Speaker 17: It has been. 483 00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:07,399 Speaker 16: Firing barrages of missiles at Israeli cities. I've had to 484 00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:10,760 Speaker 16: run to shelter because they fired ballistic missiles at Tel Aviv. 485 00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:15,359 Speaker 16: The days when terrorist forces could fire ballistic missiles at 486 00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:16,000 Speaker 16: Israel and. 487 00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:18,119 Speaker 8: Get away with it are over. 488 00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:23,000 Speaker 16: The October seventh massacre, the opening shot of a regional 489 00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:27,760 Speaker 16: war by the Iranian axis, has backfired spectacularly in the 490 00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:31,000 Speaker 16: face of the Iranian regime.

Yet some of your Democrat colleagues 580 00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:31,200 Speaker 1: in the Senate are trying to limit President Trump's war powers. 581 00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:33,960 Speaker 1: Of course, there was that massive vote that failed yesterday. 582 00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:36,560 Speaker 1: Why are they playing politics in a time like this. 583 00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:42,440 Speaker 19: They have Trump derangement syndrome. They just cannot get out 584 00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:46,320 Speaker 19: of their way. And you look at what they're doing now. 585 00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:49,480 Speaker 19: A run has been at war with us for forty 586 00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:50,280 Speaker 19: seven years. 587 00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:50,920 Speaker 10: We know that. 588 00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:54,680 Speaker 19: You look at the thousands of Americans who have lost 589 00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:59,120 Speaker 19: lives or have been injured because of Iran, and their 590 00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:03,000 Speaker 19: activity can go back to nineteen seventy nine where they 591 00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:05,560 Speaker 19: took control of the embassy. Then you look at the 592 00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:09,360 Speaker 19: embassy bombing in Beirut, you look at what happened with 593 00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:12,800 Speaker 19: the coal. You can bring it to October seventh. Then 594 00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:18,120 Speaker 19: along the way all of the Iranian proxies, about a 595 00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:23,200 Speaker 19: dozen of them, including Hamas has Belah, the Whuthy's Yemen. 596 00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:27,280 Speaker 19: And you know that the majority of the budgets of 597 00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:32,720 Speaker 19: these organizations has come from Iran. Iran has gotten that 598 00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:37,360 Speaker 19: money from oil sales. Iran is who has been supplying 599 00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:43,080 Speaker 19: Russia with drones to use in their war against Ukraine. 600 00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:51,000 Speaker 19: So Iran and having the Ayatola removed, this is a 601 00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:55,960 Speaker 19: positive step that ends the reign of terror and there 602 00:32:56,040 --> 00:33:00,440 Speaker 19: is hopefulness that the Uranian people, the resistance will step 603 00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:03,560 Speaker 19: forward and take control of their government. 604 00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:06,880 Speaker 5: Yeah.

We know from Homeland Security investigations, which 614 00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:41,200 Speaker 19: by the way, the Democrats have defunded.

And Homeland Security and investigations, 619 00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:06,440 Speaker 19: our federal law enforcement, they are trying to locate, apprehend, detain, 620 00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:12,120 Speaker 19: and remove these individuals from our country as we speak. 621 00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:15,120 Speaker 4: Yeah, and that goes right to a bill you introduced 622 00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:19,880 Speaker 4: called the Migrant Crime Reporting Act. It would encourage states 623 00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:22,880 Speaker 4: to track and publicly report crimes committed by legal immigrants. 624 00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:25,200 Speaker 4: The states would send the data to the Department of 625 00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:27,240 Speaker 4: Homeland Security and post it online. 626 00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:29,760 Speaker 5: Also, supporters say the bill will help. 627 00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:34,160 Speaker 4: Increase transparency and keep communities informed.

Rav 664 00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:56,560 Speaker 6: and the War Room team have been helping fuel the movement. 665 00:36:56,800 --> 00:36:57,960 Speaker 6: Take a look at this. 666 00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:02,440 Speaker 1: Make jihadi's upbrold thing against you. 667 00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:04,560 Speaker 17: Why in the hell you think they're in Houston and 668 00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:05,640 Speaker 17: in north of Dallas. 669 00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:10,320 Speaker 21: They are working together to overthrow Western civilization. 670 00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:13,760 Speaker 22: Sharia compounds, which are areas governed by religious rules. 671 00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:16,200 Speaker 18: We are having to deal with a massive change in 672 00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:18,840 Speaker 18: our culture because we haven't recognized that there is a 673 00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:20,560 Speaker 18: war being carried against us. 674 00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:24,399 Speaker 21: We're opening up approximately two new mosques every month here 675 00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:25,360 Speaker 21: in the state of Texas. 676 00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:29,080 Speaker 23: Is a radical Islam is a serious, serious problem. 677 00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:30,360 Speaker 11: Adhere's to a faith. 678 00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:31,799 Speaker 24: It is highly radicalized. 679 00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:34,120 Speaker 17: You don't like our constitution, then God. 680 00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:35,440 Speaker 8: This has to be banned. 681 00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:42,400 Speaker 3: On the third of March, sharia law goes on the 682 00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:43,960 Speaker 3: ballot in the state of Texas. 683 00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:46,640 Speaker 1: Is not going to happen in the jewel of the 684 00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:49,360 Speaker 1: Crown of the Union of this Republic. 685 00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:52,960 Speaker 18: Not here, not now, not in Proposition ten is a 686 00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:54,759 Speaker 18: single most important vote we can do. 687 00:37:55,040 --> 00:38:00,040 Speaker 3: We're gonna tell of take your sharia law and shove it. 688 00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:02,440 Speaker 25: Ninety five percent for Proposition ten. 689 00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:04,160 Speaker 15: I just want to make sure people understanding it's very 690 00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:06,120 Speaker 15: simple to vote for the Senate and the top racer 691 00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:08,400 Speaker 15: at the top to get to the proposition, the particularly 692 00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:10,960 Speaker 15: Proposition ten at the very bottom of this side, the 693 00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:14,360 Speaker 15: overwhelming support to get one point nine million votes and 694 00:38:14,440 --> 00:38:17,000 Speaker 15: really more than the combined of corn And and Paston. 695 00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:19,480 Speaker 25: Corn And alone spent eighty million dollars in this. 696 00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:22,880 Speaker 15: This is a testament now the real work again. 697 00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:34,720 Speaker 6: I think, all right, let's bring in Terrence and doctor 698 00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:37,160 Speaker 6: Gina for more. Terrence, want to go to you first 699 00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:40,600 Speaker 6: on this ninety five percent you know, against sharia law. 700 00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:42,880 Speaker 10: That's great, It's not surprising to me. 701 00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:44,920 Speaker 6: I think that that obviously should be a thing in America, 702 00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:46,759 Speaker 6: and I think this needs to happen in Michigan and 703 00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:48,279 Speaker 6: dearborn ham Trammick. 704 00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:53,320 Speaker 1: Next, you know, it's funny that you mentioned Michigan, because 705 00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:55,400 Speaker 1: I would have expected this sort of thing to come 706 00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:59,359 Speaker 1: up in Michigan, not Texas. You know, Texas is such 707 00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:02,480 Speaker 1: a red state, it is such a patriotic state, and 708 00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:05,800 Speaker 1: so for this sort of ballot measure referendum to even 709 00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:10,400 Speaker 1: make it onto a ballot in Texas is pretty unique 710 00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:13,800 Speaker 1: to me, pretty surprising, but the response not at all surprising. 711 00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:17,240 Speaker 1: Obviously there was an overwhelming rejection. But I also think 712 00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:19,640 Speaker 1: what we're seeing from Texans, and I think you can 713 00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:22,719 Speaker 1: extrapolate this to many Americans, is that this is a 714 00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:26,120 Speaker 1: call for other cultures who come here to the United 715 00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:29,560 Speaker 1: States to assimilate to our ways, to assimilate to our 716 00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:33,600 Speaker 1: norms and our values. And this is again an overwhelming 717 00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:37,480 Speaker 1: referendum on that. This is Texans saying we are American 718 00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:39,759 Speaker 1: and we expect if you come to this country that 719 00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:42,359 Speaker 1: you do things and you follow our value system. You're 720 00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:44,359 Speaker 1: not going to bring your own to this country. 721 00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:44,560 Speaker 8: Doctor Dina. 722 00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:50,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, Well, many would say, of course that those terrorist values, 723 00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:55,000 Speaker 4: the Islamist values, are totally incompatible with Western culture whatsoever, 724 00:39:55,160 --> 00:39:58,200 Speaker 4: which presents a huge problem. I think I was writing 725 00:39:58,239 --> 00:40:02,879 Speaker 4: about this about ten maybe fifteen years ago and being 726 00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:04,000 Speaker 4: called radical for it. 727 00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:07,960 Speaker 5: But it's just the truth. You know. We study psychology 728 00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:08,319 Speaker 5: and we. 729 00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:12,480 Speaker 4: Take it seriously when it comes to, you know, analyzing 730 00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:17,400 Speaker 4: our marriages or relationships or job plans, but we completely 731 00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:21,279 Speaker 4: throw it out the window when psychology experts all over 732 00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:26,319 Speaker 4: the world have consistently said that islamis culture is not 733 00:40:26,360 --> 00:40:27,680 Speaker 4: compatible with Western culture. 734 00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:28,680 Speaker 5: It's a fact. 735 00:40:28,920 --> 00:40:32,160 Speaker 4: It has been tested, data tested, again and again. Now, 736 00:40:32,840 --> 00:40:34,880 Speaker 4: one more common I wanted to make about this is 737 00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:38,759 Speaker 4: how important it is that a true conservative like Ken 738 00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:43,359 Speaker 4: Paxton ultimately gets in that Texas seat. 739 00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:45,719 Speaker 5: There. We need real conservatives who are really willing to. 740 00:40:45,640 --> 00:40:49,960 Speaker 4: Fight sharia law, who will tow the true America first 741 00:40:50,040 --> 00:40:50,520 Speaker 4: line on this. 742 00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:51,760 Speaker 5: I think it's really critical. 743 00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:54,440 Speaker 4: All you have to do if you want to see 744 00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:58,359 Speaker 4: how bad the results are when sharia law seeps in, 745 00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:00,960 Speaker 4: and it does it seeps in, we don't even realize 746 00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:03,120 Speaker 4: it's happening, and all of a sudden it has happened, 747 00:41:03,280 --> 00:41:05,600 Speaker 4: and then there's no turning back. All you have to do, 748 00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:08,719 Speaker 4: really today probably is go to Texas. But you can 749 00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:11,400 Speaker 4: just go to Europe and see especially in England, places 750 00:41:11,440 --> 00:41:16,359 Speaker 4: like Manchester. It's another country from what it was even 751 00:41:16,480 --> 00:41:20,120 Speaker 4: just ten twenty years ago. And so the whole thing 752 00:41:20,239 --> 00:41:22,840 Speaker 4: to me is really terrifying. Emily and Terrence. 753 00:41:23,200 --> 00:41:23,960 Speaker 10: Yeah, it certainly is. 754 00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:25,480 Speaker 6: And ten twenty years ago, I don't know if it 755 00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:28,000 Speaker 6: was necessarily radical. I think people just thought that it 756 00:41:28,040 --> 00:41:30,120 Speaker 6: was like, this will never happen in America. 757 00:41:30,120 --> 00:41:31,640 Speaker 10: It wasn't necessarily radical to speak out. 758 00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:33,720 Speaker 6: People just thought you were crazy because it was like, Okay, 759 00:41:33,760 --> 00:41:35,239 Speaker 6: this will never be a thing. But look at where 760 00:41:35,239 --> 00:41:37,600 Speaker 6: we're at now, ten fifteen years later. So we need 761 00:41:37,640 --> 00:41:39,600 Speaker 6: to keep talking about this, need to keep making sure 762 00:41:40,320 --> 00:41:42,600 Speaker 6: that you know, cities all over the US, it states, 763 00:41:42,640 --> 00:41:45,200 Speaker 6: all over the US are making a stand Terrence. 764 00:41:45,719 --> 00:41:48,960 Speaker 1: And more importantly rejecting these sorts of ideas, continuing to 765 00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:52,040 Speaker 1: reject them. And I'll just even take it a step further, 766 00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:55,920 Speaker 1: doctor Gina. We also need to then root ourselves in 767 00:41:56,080 --> 00:41:59,720 Speaker 1: biblical principle, not only in terms of how we vote, 768 00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:02,919 Speaker 1: but also in terms of our actions politically, policy wise, 769 00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:05,719 Speaker 1: and otherwise. That's the best way to reject this sort 770 00:42:05,760 --> 00:42:06,520 Speaker 1: of radicalism. 771 00:42:06,680 --> 00:42:08,840 Speaker 4: Yeah, it'd be really nice to see all those women's 772 00:42:08,920 --> 00:42:13,320 Speaker 4: rights groups caring about women who are subjected to rape 773 00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:14,880 Speaker 4: and other tortures under Sharia. 774 00:42:14,880 --> 00:42:16,200 Speaker 5: A lot, wouldn't it, Emily. 775 00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:19,400 Speaker 6: Absolutely, Gina, great discussion this morning, you guys coming up. 776 00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:21,960 Speaker 6: Did the Bible predict the rise of Iran and its 777 00:42:22,040 --> 00:42:23,360 Speaker 6: role in a war against Israel? 778 00:42:23,520 --> 00:42:25,920 Speaker 10: We have the answers next on American Sunrise. 779 00:42:35,640 --> 00:42:39,920 Speaker 26: God Bless the Us. 780 00:42:40,400 --> 00:42:43,360 Speaker 8: In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth. 781 00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:51,480 Speaker 1: Welcome back to American Sunrise. It's now time for our 782 00:42:51,520 --> 00:42:53,839 Speaker 1: moment of faith, which is brought to us by Lee 783 00:42:53,960 --> 00:42:57,680 Speaker 1: Greenwood and the God Bless the USA. Bible in focus today. 784 00:42:58,040 --> 00:43:01,279 Speaker 1: Many just aren't aware that the Bible before warned in 785 00:43:01,360 --> 00:43:04,239 Speaker 1: remarkable detail the rise of Iran in the end of 786 00:43:04,320 --> 00:43:07,520 Speaker 1: times and its role in a prophetic war with Israel. 787 00:43:08,120 --> 00:43:11,439 Speaker 1: As history unfolds before our eyes, many are asking, could 788 00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:14,520 Speaker 1: the current showdown between Israel and Iran be the war 789 00:43:14,560 --> 00:43:18,319 Speaker 1: of Gog and Magog which was foretold by the prophet Ezekiel, 790 00:43:18,760 --> 00:43:20,799 Speaker 1: the host of coming Home, which you can see right 791 00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:23,799 Speaker 1: here on the weekends on rav Tiff shuttles Worth not 792 00:43:23,840 --> 00:43:27,480 Speaker 1: to be mistaken with his son, joins me. Now, mister Shuttlesworth, 793 00:43:27,520 --> 00:43:29,040 Speaker 1: get after it or good morning to you. 794 00:43:29,880 --> 00:43:31,600 Speaker 27: Good morning to you as well, Terrence. Great to be 795 00:43:31,640 --> 00:43:32,240 Speaker 27: with you today. 796 00:43:33,280 --> 00:43:35,799 Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to this conversation. So walk us through 797 00:43:35,840 --> 00:43:36,960 Speaker 1: this prophecy, please. 798 00:43:38,440 --> 00:43:41,920 Speaker 27: Well, it begins in Daniel Daniel, in the Old Testament, 799 00:43:41,960 --> 00:43:46,000 Speaker 27: one of the major prophets prophest signed the fall of Iran, 800 00:43:46,560 --> 00:43:50,360 Speaker 27: which in course, in Bible terms, was Persia. And the 801 00:43:50,360 --> 00:43:54,040 Speaker 27: Bible went on to propheside that Persia, after that empire 802 00:43:54,080 --> 00:43:58,080 Speaker 27: had fallen, would remain in a place of total dysfunction 803 00:43:58,200 --> 00:44:02,080 Speaker 27: and disrepair until prior to the soon coming of Christ. 804 00:44:02,320 --> 00:44:05,600 Speaker 27: And that's exactly what we've seen here in recent years, 805 00:44:06,280 --> 00:44:09,640 Speaker 27: is we've seen Iran enter into the arena of what 806 00:44:09,800 --> 00:44:14,200 Speaker 27: many are speculating, is this the beginning of the setting 807 00:44:14,320 --> 00:44:18,040 Speaker 27: up of the Gog and Magog War. In Ezekiel chapter 808 00:44:18,120 --> 00:44:22,120 Speaker 27: thirty eight and thirty nine. 809 00:44:20,920 --> 00:44:24,960 Speaker 1: All right, this Gog and Magog war. Explain that to us, 810 00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:27,959 Speaker 1: I'm not the best historian and definitely not well read 811 00:44:28,040 --> 00:44:32,040 Speaker 1: on this particular issue. So explain this war well. 812 00:44:32,200 --> 00:44:35,040 Speaker 27: Ezekiel thirty eight and thirty nine is very detailed. It 813 00:44:35,160 --> 00:44:40,520 Speaker 27: speaks of Gog is a leader, and then Maygog, and 814 00:44:40,640 --> 00:44:44,799 Speaker 27: Maygog is a land and the Bible's very specific as 815 00:44:44,840 --> 00:44:47,160 Speaker 27: to the geography of that land. It speaks of it 816 00:44:47,280 --> 00:44:53,040 Speaker 27: being to the far distant north of Jerusalem, which is Russia. 817 00:44:53,640 --> 00:44:57,879 Speaker 27: So again, if we were to layer that prophecy into 818 00:44:57,920 --> 00:45:02,040 Speaker 27: our current settings, we're taught talking about an upcoming war 819 00:45:02,680 --> 00:45:06,160 Speaker 27: with Russia at current time. And I'm not saying that 820 00:45:06,239 --> 00:45:09,680 Speaker 27: Vladimir Putin is Gog, but there will be a Russian 821 00:45:09,760 --> 00:45:13,279 Speaker 27: leader who has a lust for the re establishment of 822 00:45:13,280 --> 00:45:18,000 Speaker 27: that empire. And Gog is a man Maygog is a land. 823 00:45:18,080 --> 00:45:23,600 Speaker 27: And the Bible identifies fifteen specific nations by name Persia 824 00:45:23,640 --> 00:45:27,000 Speaker 27: of course, being Iran is one of those nations that 825 00:45:27,120 --> 00:45:31,160 Speaker 27: will come into agreement with this allied force led by 826 00:45:31,200 --> 00:45:33,719 Speaker 27: the leader of Russia. And that's what many in the 827 00:45:33,760 --> 00:45:37,360 Speaker 27: field of eschatology are focused on right now. Are we 828 00:45:37,600 --> 00:45:42,919 Speaker 27: watching this emergence of Iran from the dust and being 829 00:45:42,960 --> 00:45:46,560 Speaker 27: a major player obviously in headlines every day. Currently, are 830 00:45:46,600 --> 00:45:49,839 Speaker 27: we watching the chessboard of Gog and Magog being set up? 831 00:45:52,160 --> 00:45:57,040 Speaker 1: Big picture, these prophecies ultimately call us to draw closer 832 00:45:57,040 --> 00:45:59,720 Speaker 1: to God. It seems to me that that's the ultimate 833 00:46:00,320 --> 00:46:03,279 Speaker 1: story here, That is the ultimate call that as the 834 00:46:03,400 --> 00:46:06,480 Speaker 1: end of times may or may not be nearing. We 835 00:46:06,520 --> 00:46:09,200 Speaker 1: all need to build a relationship with God, with Jesus 836 00:46:09,320 --> 00:46:12,799 Speaker 1: Christ so that we hopefully know where we're going once 837 00:46:12,840 --> 00:46:13,960 Speaker 1: everything is said and done. 838 00:46:14,960 --> 00:46:19,520 Speaker 27: Yeah, I've told on Bible prophecy for five decades, and 839 00:46:19,719 --> 00:46:23,880 Speaker 27: I always tell those that are intimidated by the subject. 840 00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:27,400 Speaker 27: God didn't give us Bible prophecy to scare us. God 841 00:46:27,400 --> 00:46:29,400 Speaker 27: gave us Bible prophecy. 842 00:46:29,080 --> 00:46:29,960 Speaker 8: To prepare us. 843 00:46:30,560 --> 00:46:32,840 Speaker 27: And I always tell people, if the only thing you 844 00:46:32,960 --> 00:46:36,640 Speaker 27: ever learned about Bible prophecy is one verse in the Bible, 845 00:46:37,280 --> 00:46:40,080 Speaker 27: I would recommend Matthew twenty four and verse forty four, 846 00:46:40,160 --> 00:46:44,000 Speaker 27: where the Bible said, be ye also ready for in 847 00:46:44,080 --> 00:46:47,160 Speaker 27: such an hour as you think not, the Son of 848 00:46:47,200 --> 00:46:50,240 Speaker 27: Man cometh.

We'll have analysis straight ahead. 865 00:47:57,200 --> 00:48:01,279 Speaker 1: Plus New York State Attorney General Letitia James says a 866 00:48:01,320 --> 00:48:06,000 Speaker 1: hospital in Manhattan must resume transgender surgeries for children after 867 00:48:06,040 --> 00:48:10,080 Speaker 1: the Trump administration ordered those surgeries to stop. We'll unpact 868 00:48:10,120 --> 00:48:14,880 Speaker 1: the details for you also ahead. New polling data reveals 869 00:48:14,880 --> 00:48:18,799 Speaker 1: it most likely midterm election voters still consider the economy 870 00:48:19,040 --> 00:48:22,319 Speaker 1: to be the top issue facing Americans today.

We have to protect the American family. 881 00:48:54,080 --> 00:48:56,120 Speaker 2: The American dream is still alive. 882 00:48:57,440 --> 00:49:06,560 Speaker 1: I'm David Broden, I'm Terrence, and I'm Dot. Welcome back 883 00:49:06,600 --> 00:49:09,600 Speaker 1: to this second hour of American Sunrise. I'm Terrence Bay's 884 00:49:09,680 --> 00:49:12,319 Speaker 1: coming to you from our Denver newsroom. Let's bring in 885 00:49:12,360 --> 00:49:14,560 Speaker 1: Doctor Gina and Emily Finn. They are in our West 886 00:49:14,560 --> 00:49:17,200 Speaker 1: Palm Beach newsroom, or in the Palm Beaches, as Doctor 887 00:49:17,239 --> 00:49:21,040 Speaker 1: Gina often says, Ladies, a busy hour ahead. We are 888 00:49:21,040 --> 00:49:24,400 Speaker 1: waiting for Secretary of War Pete Heigseth to host another 889 00:49:24,440 --> 00:49:28,120 Speaker 1: news conference or another event. It's basically focused on narco 890 00:49:28,280 --> 00:49:31,440 Speaker 1: terrorism here in this hemisphere, and it's an issue that 891 00:49:31,480 --> 00:49:34,560 Speaker 1: the administration, doctor Gina has been focusing on and will 892 00:49:34,600 --> 00:49:35,760 Speaker 1: reaffirm them today. 893 00:49:36,840 --> 00:49:37,120 Speaker 5: Yeah. 894 00:49:37,200 --> 00:49:39,640 Speaker 4: I think this is a great thing. I think this 895 00:49:39,719 --> 00:49:42,719 Speaker 4: is something that Republicans should even be playing up more 896 00:49:42,719 --> 00:49:46,960 Speaker 4: than they are if they want to do really well 897 00:49:46,960 --> 00:49:49,359 Speaker 4: in the midterms, because this is an issue, as I've 898 00:49:49,360 --> 00:49:52,920 Speaker 4: said from the very beginning, that affects everyone. Everyone knows 899 00:49:52,960 --> 00:49:57,040 Speaker 4: someone who has lost someone because of narco terrorists, and 900 00:49:57,080 --> 00:49:59,239 Speaker 4: you can draw those exact lines and that matters, and 901 00:49:59,280 --> 00:50:02,080 Speaker 4: that's live stage life saved. I don't know what the 902 00:50:02,120 --> 00:50:06,200 Speaker 4: exact statistics are right now in terms of how many 903 00:50:06,400 --> 00:50:10,600 Speaker 4: drugs they've kept out, especially focusing specifically on fitnil and 904 00:50:10,640 --> 00:50:12,799 Speaker 4: all the rest, but you know, the numbers are big 905 00:50:12,840 --> 00:50:17,719 Speaker 4: when illegal immigration is basically shut down completely. And you know, 906 00:50:17,760 --> 00:50:21,600 Speaker 4: I think as everybody tries to take a really full 907 00:50:21,640 --> 00:50:25,879 Speaker 4: throated look at what Republicans and particularly the Trump administration 908 00:50:26,000 --> 00:50:28,600 Speaker 4: has accomplished, this is one that often gets left in 909 00:50:28,640 --> 00:50:29,440 Speaker 4: the dust emily. 910 00:50:29,480 --> 00:50:30,120 Speaker 5: But it shouldn't. 911 00:50:30,520 --> 00:50:31,400 Speaker 10: No, it certainly shouldn't. 912 00:50:31,320 --> 00:50:33,600 Speaker 6: And I will say this administration is certainly making moves 913 00:50:33,640 --> 00:50:36,439 Speaker 6: and making changes. Pete Hegseth has been really busy this week. 914 00:50:36,480 --> 00:50:38,480 Speaker 6: He's he's juggling a lot of balls in the air 915 00:50:38,520 --> 00:50:39,080 Speaker 6: at the same time. 916 00:50:39,160 --> 00:50:41,120 Speaker 10: Terrence, It'll be interesting to see what he has to say. 917 00:50:42,160 --> 00:50:44,719 Speaker 1: Absolutely, one of the biggest balls that he's juggling has 918 00:50:44,760 --> 00:50:47,000 Speaker 1: to do with the war in Iran. The Trump Administration's 919 00:50:47,040 --> 00:50:50,080 Speaker 1: war there continuing to wage on this morning, after Senate 920 00:50:50,120 --> 00:50:54,040 Speaker 1: Republicans rejected a bill aimed at stopping the conflict and 921 00:50:54,440 --> 00:50:58,360 Speaker 1: demanding congressional approval for any further attacks. The measure failed 922 00:50:58,360 --> 00:51:01,560 Speaker 1: by a forty seven to fifty three. A similar House 923 00:51:01,600 --> 00:51:04,480 Speaker 1: measure scheduled to be voted on this morning is expected 924 00:51:04,480 --> 00:51:08,000 Speaker 1: to face a similar fate. Meantime, one and more Americans 925 00:51:08,000 --> 00:51:11,000 Speaker 1: across the Middle East are being evacuated and brought home. 926 00:51:11,040 --> 00:51:14,200 Speaker 1: At last check, the State Department was confirming that nearly 927 00:51:14,360 --> 00:51:20,560 Speaker 1: eighteen thousand US citizens had returned to US soil. Preparations 928 00:51:20,600 --> 00:51:22,680 Speaker 1: are under way to bring the bodies of those six 929 00:51:22,760 --> 00:51:26,080 Speaker 1: American soldiers who were killed by an Iranian drone attack 930 00:51:26,160 --> 00:51:29,799 Speaker 1: in Kuwait home. So far, no date for the dignified 931 00:51:29,800 --> 00:51:32,919 Speaker 1: transfer has been made public. We do know President Trump 932 00:51:33,000 --> 00:51:36,800 Speaker 1: intends to welcome the fallen heroes home. The Pentagon confirms 933 00:51:36,800 --> 00:51:39,480 Speaker 1: that two of the troops who were killed were from Iowa. 934 00:51:39,800 --> 00:51:45,400 Speaker 1: The others were from California, Florida, Nebraska, and Minnesota. And 935 00:51:45,440 --> 00:51:48,280 Speaker 1: today could be the day President Trump drops his endorsement. 936 00:51:48,320 --> 00:51:52,680 Speaker 1: In Texas's Republican Senate primary, Incumbent Senator John Cornyan is 937 00:51:52,719 --> 00:51:56,640 Speaker 1: facing former Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton in a runoff 938 00:51:56,800 --> 00:51:59,680 Speaker 1: after both failed to win a majority of votes on Tuesday, 939 00:52:00,080 --> 00:52:02,480 Speaker 1: President Trump expected to hitch his wagon to one of 940 00:52:02,520 --> 00:52:06,120 Speaker 1: the candidates. Well before the May twenty fifth runoff taking 941 00:52:06,160 --> 00:52:08,240 Speaker 1: to true socialism. You can see here on your screen 942 00:52:08,280 --> 00:52:10,719 Speaker 1: the Commander in Chief writing, I will be making my 943 00:52:10,880 --> 00:52:14,239 Speaker 1: endorsement soon, and we'll be asking the candidate that I 944 00:52:14,360 --> 00:52:17,319 Speaker 1: don't endorse to immediately drop out of the race. We 945 00:52:17,440 --> 00:52:20,319 Speaker 1: must win in November forty seven, goes on to say 946 00:52:20,320 --> 00:52:25,239 Speaker 1: that almost everyone he endorses wins, especially in Texas. That's 947 00:52:25,280 --> 00:52:27,400 Speaker 1: a great check of your headlines. We'll have more coming 948 00:52:27,400 --> 00:52:29,160 Speaker 1: your way in just a little bit. But now let's 949 00:52:29,160 --> 00:52:31,239 Speaker 1: get a quick check of your forecast with Whether Nation 950 00:52:31,320 --> 00:52:34,680 Speaker 1: Meteorologists Tracy Anthony Tracy. One of my favorite parts of 951 00:52:34,680 --> 00:52:38,640 Speaker 1: the show. You're a hometown forecast. Good morning, Hey, good morning. 952 00:52:38,719 --> 00:52:41,600 Speaker 14: Yeah, we're going to start off in Ashland, Nebraska. So 953 00:52:41,680 --> 00:52:45,680 Speaker 14: this coming in on YouTube from Eric and Eric. Your 954 00:52:45,760 --> 00:52:49,719 Speaker 14: forecast temperature wise, it's going to be rollercoastering the next 955 00:52:49,719 --> 00:52:52,520 Speaker 14: couple of days. We have several systems rolling over the 956 00:52:52,600 --> 00:52:54,960 Speaker 14: rockies and out into the planes. So a little rain 957 00:52:55,080 --> 00:52:57,600 Speaker 14: on Friday could have a few rumbles of thunder as well, 958 00:52:57,640 --> 00:53:01,080 Speaker 14: and then once again, Tuesday looks a little bit different 959 00:53:01,160 --> 00:53:04,680 Speaker 14: when you post the temperatures like this. So this is 960 00:53:04,760 --> 00:53:08,359 Speaker 14: typical for spring where the roller coaster temperatures are going 961 00:53:08,400 --> 00:53:10,680 Speaker 14: to stick around for the next couple of weeks. But 962 00:53:11,280 --> 00:53:15,399 Speaker 14: up into Monticello, New York, thirty six degrees today, So Chile, 963 00:53:15,560 --> 00:53:18,120 Speaker 14: we do have a warm front working through that is 964 00:53:18,160 --> 00:53:20,640 Speaker 14: going to bring kind of a wintery mix of weather. 965 00:53:21,280 --> 00:53:23,960 Speaker 14: But the good news for the Northeast is our temperatures 966 00:53:24,040 --> 00:53:25,960 Speaker 14: are on the uphill climb. We're going to be in 967 00:53:26,000 --> 00:53:30,200 Speaker 14: the fifties for the weekend and sixties for early next week. 968 00:53:30,440 --> 00:53:33,560 Speaker 14: And for Totten mass this is from Desert Eagle on 969 00:53:33,680 --> 00:53:35,680 Speaker 14: Getter a similar situation. 970 00:53:36,000 --> 00:53:36,480 Speaker 5: Thirties. 971 00:53:36,640 --> 00:53:38,480 Speaker 14: Two more days of it, and then it's really going 972 00:53:38,520 --> 00:53:41,200 Speaker 14: to feel like spring with those temperatures getting into the 973 00:53:41,239 --> 00:53:45,040 Speaker 14: fifties and sixties. Now very active as we do have 974 00:53:45,120 --> 00:53:47,320 Speaker 14: severe weather that's going to be expected the next couple 975 00:53:47,320 --> 00:53:50,680 Speaker 14: of days, So today, tomorrow, and even into the weekend 976 00:53:50,760 --> 00:53:55,080 Speaker 14: we'll be tracking widespread severe weather. So spring is here 977 00:53:55,120 --> 00:53:57,080 Speaker 14: and it's coming in with a bang. 978 00:53:57,200 --> 00:54:00,600 Speaker 1: Terrence, All right, Tracy, thank you, thank you so much. 979 00:54:00,640 --> 00:54:02,000 Speaker 1: Have a great rest of the day. We'll talk to 980 00:54:02,040 --> 00:54:07,440 Speaker 1: you tomorrow. All right, folks, let's get you to continuing 981 00:54:07,520 --> 00:54:10,960 Speaker 1: coverage now of the latest developments in the ongoing conflict 982 00:54:11,040 --> 00:54:14,600 Speaker 1: with Iran. Senate Republicans voted on Wednesday to block War 983 00:54:14,640 --> 00:54:17,880 Speaker 1: Powers Resolution, or a War Powers Resolution, that would have 984 00:54:17,920 --> 00:54:22,280 Speaker 1: forced the administration to halt military action without new congressional approval. 985 00:54:22,719 --> 00:54:25,800 Speaker 1: That measure failed by a forty seven to fifty three vote, 986 00:54:25,880 --> 00:54:29,920 Speaker 1: with most Republicans backing the president's authority as Commander in Chief. 987 00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:33,520 Speaker 1: Rand Paul was the only Republican to break with his 988 00:54:33,600 --> 00:54:38,000 Speaker 1: party and support this resolution. Joining us now with reaction 989 00:54:38,120 --> 00:54:42,440 Speaker 1: is National political reporter Neil McCabe. Neil, good morning to you. 990 00:54:43,080 --> 00:54:45,720 Speaker 1: I would imagine that the atmosphere there at the White 991 00:54:45,719 --> 00:54:48,239 Speaker 1: House is one of laser focused, particularly when it comes 992 00:54:48,320 --> 00:54:51,560 Speaker 1: to Iran. That has seemed to be kind of the 993 00:54:52,280 --> 00:54:57,160 Speaker 1: posturing of the administration. Yeah. 994 00:54:57,239 --> 00:55:01,560 Speaker 28: Absolutely, the war is job one, and as you mentioned, 995 00:55:01,600 --> 00:55:08,000 Speaker 28: the President is planning to attend the Dignified Transfer ceremony 996 00:55:08,160 --> 00:55:12,800 Speaker 28: at Dover Air Force Base, and obviously, you know, working 997 00:55:12,800 --> 00:55:15,840 Speaker 28: with the Pentagon, and we assume that Secretary of Warhead 998 00:55:15,880 --> 00:55:19,239 Speaker 28: Seth will address the war today, even though he's focusing 999 00:55:19,280 --> 00:55:24,480 Speaker 28: on narco terrorism, and obviously with Southern Command and Ecuador 1000 00:55:24,880 --> 00:55:27,640 Speaker 28: taking its action the other day, it's interesting with the 1001 00:55:27,680 --> 00:55:31,359 Speaker 28: War Powers Act though, you know, Fetterman and Rand Paul 1002 00:55:31,440 --> 00:55:35,160 Speaker 28: switching votes A lot of times that's arranged ahead of time, 1003 00:55:35,160 --> 00:55:36,960 Speaker 28: but I don't think it was arranged this time. I 1004 00:55:37,000 --> 00:55:41,160 Speaker 28: think that both men sincerely voted the way they did. 1005 00:55:41,440 --> 00:55:43,880 Speaker 28: But I was glad to see so many of the 1006 00:55:43,920 --> 00:55:48,160 Speaker 28: other sort of shaky or Week's sister Republican senators coming 1007 00:55:48,160 --> 00:55:48,800 Speaker 28: in line. 1008 00:55:48,600 --> 00:55:49,320 Speaker 1: For this vote. 1009 00:55:50,800 --> 00:55:54,440 Speaker 4: Neil, there's ongoing concern and speculation out there that the 1010 00:55:54,480 --> 00:56:00,000 Speaker 4: Trump administration may invoke the Defense Production Act. This would 1011 00:56:00,120 --> 00:56:05,040 Speaker 4: fully boost munitions production. Many out there, especially in social media, 1012 00:56:05,160 --> 00:56:10,040 Speaker 4: concerned about depleting our supplies as American forces remain heavily 1013 00:56:10,080 --> 00:56:13,720 Speaker 4: engaged against Iron and other parts of the Middle East. 1014 00:56:14,560 --> 00:56:18,040 Speaker 4: What is the real How bad is this first of all? 1015 00:56:18,400 --> 00:56:21,080 Speaker 4: And what can be done about it? Do you think 1016 00:56:21,200 --> 00:56:23,720 Speaker 4: the president will be successful in boosting that supply? 1017 00:56:23,760 --> 00:56:24,680 Speaker 5: And how long will it take? 1018 00:56:28,040 --> 00:56:28,239 Speaker 1: Yeah? 1019 00:56:28,280 --> 00:56:31,440 Speaker 28: Well, first of all, this White House does not want 1020 00:56:31,480 --> 00:56:34,160 Speaker 28: to speak about COVID. Of all the things in Trump 1021 00:56:34,200 --> 00:56:36,640 Speaker 28: forty five that they like to talk about, they don't 1022 00:56:36,719 --> 00:56:39,800 Speaker 28: like to talk about COVID. But one of the successes, 1023 00:56:39,920 --> 00:56:42,960 Speaker 28: I guess you could argue, is they're using those same 1024 00:56:43,080 --> 00:56:47,960 Speaker 28: laws and rules to move forward on ventilators and vaccines 1025 00:56:48,000 --> 00:56:50,600 Speaker 28: and other things. So I think that these are muscles 1026 00:56:50,600 --> 00:56:53,080 Speaker 28: that the White House has already flexed in its first term. 1027 00:56:53,360 --> 00:56:54,960 Speaker 25: They're ready to flex them again. 1028 00:56:55,400 --> 00:56:58,360 Speaker 28: And the legal findings and all the paperwork has already 1029 00:56:58,360 --> 00:57:00,719 Speaker 28: been done, so they can just copy and paste and 1030 00:57:00,760 --> 00:57:04,040 Speaker 28: fire this thing up. I am concerned, however, about the 1031 00:57:04,160 --> 00:57:08,600 Speaker 28: army preposition stock in Kuwait and Jordan. The Biden administration 1032 00:57:09,320 --> 00:57:14,400 Speaker 28: depleted those stocks and sent that the artillery pieces, the weapons, 1033 00:57:14,480 --> 00:57:18,360 Speaker 28: the bullets, the shells, the trucks, so they sent most 1034 00:57:18,360 --> 00:57:21,840 Speaker 28: of that to Ukraine. There was enough there equipment and 1035 00:57:21,920 --> 00:57:25,200 Speaker 28: other things to support three brigades. 1036 00:57:25,120 --> 00:57:27,280 Speaker 25: And the Biden administration depleted it. 1037 00:57:27,320 --> 00:57:30,880 Speaker 28: There are about ten sites of army preposition stock all 1038 00:57:30,920 --> 00:57:31,600 Speaker 28: over the world. 1039 00:57:31,760 --> 00:57:33,880 Speaker 25: The idea is, you don't want the troops. You don't 1040 00:57:33,880 --> 00:57:35,720 Speaker 25: want to have to send the troops and their equipment. 1041 00:57:35,760 --> 00:57:38,920 Speaker 28: You want the equipment and everything there just flying the troops. 1042 00:57:38,920 --> 00:57:40,320 Speaker 25: They jump in the trucks and they go. 1043 00:57:41,320 --> 00:57:43,240 Speaker 28: So I think that is a big concern, and I 1044 00:57:43,240 --> 00:57:45,800 Speaker 28: think that's sort of holding back any kind of idea 1045 00:57:45,840 --> 00:57:49,080 Speaker 28: of boots on the ground because we have to replenish 1046 00:57:49,120 --> 00:57:49,880 Speaker 28: those stocks. 1047 00:57:51,040 --> 00:57:53,640 Speaker 6: Yeah, Neil, all eyes are on this right now, but 1048 00:57:53,680 --> 00:57:55,640 Speaker 6: I do want to get your take on this as well. 1049 00:57:55,680 --> 00:57:59,960 Speaker 6: Minnesota Governor Tim Walls testified before lawmakers regarding the widespread 1050 00:58:00,320 --> 00:58:01,400 Speaker 6: fraud in his state. 1051 00:58:01,480 --> 00:58:03,120 Speaker 10: That was quite the clown show yesterday. 1052 00:58:03,120 --> 00:58:06,480 Speaker 6: Republicans grilled the governor on that fraud, while Democrats attempted 1053 00:58:06,480 --> 00:58:09,920 Speaker 6: to turn the conversation to the Trump administration's immigration crackdown. 1054 00:58:10,000 --> 00:58:12,840 Speaker 10: Neil, what is the reaction to this in Washington? 1055 00:58:16,800 --> 00:58:19,760 Speaker 28: Well, I don't want to say that Washington has moved on, 1056 00:58:20,280 --> 00:58:24,160 Speaker 28: but Washington has really moved on. I think the Democrats 1057 00:58:24,160 --> 00:58:29,160 Speaker 28: saw an incredible opening as Minnesota and that Arctic frost 1058 00:58:29,240 --> 00:58:34,040 Speaker 28: operation sort of made the headlines and the protests and whatnot. 1059 00:58:34,400 --> 00:58:37,800 Speaker 28: But this White House recognized that it was a chain 1060 00:58:37,840 --> 00:58:40,320 Speaker 28: of events that they may have lost control of, and 1061 00:58:40,360 --> 00:58:44,480 Speaker 28: they shut it down. They got agreements for cooperation, and 1062 00:58:44,800 --> 00:58:47,680 Speaker 28: they sort of moved on. We'll see what happens with 1063 00:58:47,760 --> 00:58:51,600 Speaker 28: DOJ and vance with they really go after the fraud. 1064 00:58:52,400 --> 00:58:55,360 Speaker 28: You know, you don't want an eighteen month investigation, you 1065 00:58:55,400 --> 00:58:58,919 Speaker 28: want a three month investigation, and you want trials and convictions. 1066 00:58:59,240 --> 00:59:02,120 Speaker 28: I think the Demo crats feel that they had a 1067 00:59:02,160 --> 00:59:04,920 Speaker 28: win in Minnesota and they're trying to sort of do 1068 00:59:05,000 --> 00:59:05,880 Speaker 28: a victory lap. 1069 00:59:06,320 --> 00:59:07,439 Speaker 25: I don't see that either. 1070 00:59:07,600 --> 00:59:10,320 Speaker 28: I think the base was very upset about the way 1071 00:59:10,640 --> 00:59:13,560 Speaker 28: the operation in Minnesota ended, and I think that the 1072 00:59:13,600 --> 00:59:17,520 Speaker 28: Trump administration and certainly this White House recognizes that, and 1073 00:59:17,560 --> 00:59:20,000 Speaker 28: that's why they're going to be re engaging on immigration, 1074 00:59:20,400 --> 00:59:22,240 Speaker 28: certainly on the other side of this war, if there 1075 00:59:22,280 --> 00:59:24,160 Speaker 28: is another side. 1076 00:59:24,320 --> 00:59:26,960 Speaker 1: Neil thirty seconds. We talked just a little while ago 1077 00:59:26,960 --> 00:59:30,920 Speaker 1: about our ammunition stockpile. President Trump will host several defense 1078 00:59:31,040 --> 00:59:34,400 Speaker 1: contractors at the White House tomorrow. One has to imagine 1079 00:59:34,560 --> 00:59:37,680 Speaker 1: that these are at least initial conversations about boosting that 1080 00:59:37,720 --> 00:59:39,800 Speaker 1: stockpole and boosting our arsenal. 1081 00:59:43,040 --> 00:59:48,120 Speaker 28: I think the key thing is that the traditional defense contractors, 1082 00:59:48,160 --> 00:59:52,920 Speaker 28: your Boeings, your Raytheon, your Lockheed Martin, those guys have 1083 00:59:53,040 --> 00:59:58,120 Speaker 28: been bloated, become bloated bureaucracies with sweetheart relationships with people 1084 00:59:58,160 --> 00:59:59,360 Speaker 28: inside the Pentagon. 1085 01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:01,080 Speaker 25: So you're going to see. 1086 01:00:01,160 --> 01:00:05,920 Speaker 28: New contractors, innovative industry leaders, up and coming industry leaders, 1087 01:00:06,240 --> 01:00:10,200 Speaker 28: bringing new ideas and faster production. And that's going to 1088 01:00:10,280 --> 01:00:13,000 Speaker 28: be absolutely key. What we have now, the White House 1089 01:00:13,040 --> 01:00:17,160 Speaker 28: says is not working. Certainly Hegseeth complains about the production times, 1090 01:00:17,360 --> 01:00:19,280 Speaker 28: and people are going to have to change that and 1091 01:00:19,320 --> 01:00:20,120 Speaker 28: that's what's going on. 1092 01:00:21,280 --> 01:00:23,840 Speaker 1: It's going to be interesting to watch Neil McKay reporting 1093 01:00:23,840 --> 01:00:25,920 Speaker 1: for US from the White House. Always good to see you, 1094 01:00:25,960 --> 01:00:26,360 Speaker 1: my friend. 1095 01:00:29,000 --> 01:00:29,840 Speaker 5: Thanks man. 1096 01:00:31,400 --> 01:00:35,160 Speaker 1: Coming up. New York's Attorney general was threatening a Manhattan hospital, 1097 01:00:35,360 --> 01:00:38,960 Speaker 1: demanding that it restart gender treatments for kids. All of 1098 01:00:39,000 --> 01:00:42,640 Speaker 1: this after President Trump's order shut them down. The showdown 1099 01:00:42,680 --> 01:01:05,440 Speaker 1: over children's medical care is next. 1100 01:01:07,040 --> 01:01:10,280 Speaker 6: Welcome back to American Sunrise. I'm Emily Finn. Time out 1101 01:01:10,320 --> 01:01:12,439 Speaker 6: to drain the swamp, and this morning we are flushing out. 1102 01:01:12,520 --> 01:01:16,240 Speaker 6: New York Attorney General Letitia James. James is now ordering 1103 01:01:16,400 --> 01:01:20,720 Speaker 6: NYU Lang Gone to restart gender transition treatments for minors 1104 01:01:20,800 --> 01:01:23,960 Speaker 6: after the program was shut down following President Trump's executive 1105 01:01:24,080 --> 01:01:28,920 Speaker 6: order protecting children from chemical and surgical mutilation. In a 1106 01:01:29,000 --> 01:01:32,840 Speaker 6: scathing letter, James accuses the hospital of violating state anti 1107 01:01:32,880 --> 01:01:36,840 Speaker 6: discrimination laws and jeopardizing care for what she calls a 1108 01:01:36,960 --> 01:01:41,120 Speaker 6: vulnerable population. Her office is now warning of further action 1109 01:01:41,320 --> 01:01:43,880 Speaker 6: if the hospital doesn't comply by March eleventh. 1110 01:01:44,240 --> 01:01:47,520 Speaker 10: For more, Let's bring in Terrence and doctor Gina. Gina. 1111 01:01:47,560 --> 01:01:50,240 Speaker 6: This is something that I just can't believe is even 1112 01:01:50,280 --> 01:01:53,480 Speaker 6: a debate in America today. It is so infuriating and 1113 01:01:53,520 --> 01:01:56,760 Speaker 6: so frustrating. I can't believe that we're even having this conversation. 1114 01:01:57,560 --> 01:01:59,800 Speaker 4: Well, we shouldn't be, because the data is clear. Once 1115 01:01:59,800 --> 01:02:02,680 Speaker 4: again again, the Democrats love to talk about science when 1116 01:02:02,720 --> 01:02:06,000 Speaker 4: it means locking people in their homes and away from 1117 01:02:06,040 --> 01:02:08,400 Speaker 4: their loved ones in hospitals and nursing homes so that 1118 01:02:08,440 --> 01:02:12,480 Speaker 4: they can kill them. But they don't care about anything 1119 01:02:12,600 --> 01:02:16,080 Speaker 4: like that when it comes to the reality of what 1120 01:02:16,120 --> 01:02:21,360 Speaker 4: they're doing to these children. Emily, the suicide statistics are 1121 01:02:21,400 --> 01:02:25,240 Speaker 4: through the roof. The suicide rates once a child actually 1122 01:02:25,280 --> 01:02:29,720 Speaker 4: does transition is twelve times higher than if they do 1123 01:02:29,800 --> 01:02:33,440 Speaker 4: not transition. And so when you have data like that, 1124 01:02:33,480 --> 01:02:35,680 Speaker 4: we've known this since the seventies, Emily, it's not like 1125 01:02:35,720 --> 01:02:37,480 Speaker 4: this is new data, Karen. 1126 01:02:37,200 --> 01:02:37,840 Speaker 10: It's certainly not. 1127 01:02:38,640 --> 01:02:41,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, doctor Gina, sorry to interrupt, though. We do want 1128 01:02:41,320 --> 01:02:43,560 Speaker 1: to take you to Pete haggsays. He is speaking right 1129 01:02:43,600 --> 01:02:46,240 Speaker 1: now in Florida. Let's listen and we can see him 1130 01:02:46,240 --> 01:03:07,880 Speaker 1: at the podium. 1131 01:02:57,320 --> 01:02:58,360 Speaker 8: Beat US dis. 1132 01:03:00,160 --> 01:03:03,440 Speaker 22: To dral in the United States Southern Command for the 1133 01:03:03,480 --> 01:03:08,520 Speaker 22: America's Counter Cartel Conference.

They 1159 01:04:46,560 --> 01:04:52,840 Speaker 22: are poisoning and killing all of our nation's citizens. These 1160 01:04:52,880 --> 01:04:58,000 Speaker 22: sophisticated networks flood our streets with fentanyl, cocaine, and other 1161 01:04:58,080 --> 01:05:01,320 Speaker 22: drugs that kill at a higher rate than any conventional war. 1162 01:05:02,840 --> 01:05:06,440 Speaker 22: This is the single gravest threat to security in our 1163 01:05:06,480 --> 01:05:11,000 Speaker 22: region and across our hemisphere. To counter this threat, the 1164 01:05:11,040 --> 01:05:14,320 Speaker 22: United States is guided by the strategic vision of Peace 1165 01:05:14,680 --> 01:05:18,640 Speaker 22: through Security set forth in both the United States National 1166 01:05:18,720 --> 01:05:23,560 Speaker 22: Security Strategy and the National Defense Strategy. These documents give 1167 01:05:23,560 --> 01:05:27,800 Speaker 22: our military a clear mandate and the Western hemisphere to 1168 01:05:27,880 --> 01:05:32,160 Speaker 22: defend the US homeland and increase burden sharing with our 1169 01:05:32,200 --> 01:05:37,080 Speaker 22: allies and partners.

But when necessary, we will not 1172 01:05:47,080 --> 01:05:52,360 Speaker 22: hesitate to act operations Southern sphere and absolutely resolve are 1173 01:05:52,400 --> 01:05:56,240 Speaker 22: proof of this commitment. Through these efforts, the United States 1174 01:05:56,280 --> 01:06:01,200 Speaker 22: is combating narco terrorism and drug trafficking and most importantly, 1175 01:06:01,400 --> 01:06:02,600 Speaker 22: restoring deterrence. 1176 01:06:04,240 --> 01:06:05,400 Speaker 17: The Western Hemisphere is. 1177 01:06:05,400 --> 01:06:08,560 Speaker 22: Our neighborhood, and the narco terrorists who seek to export 1178 01:06:08,600 --> 01:06:12,360 Speaker 22: drugs and death to our shores and your shores will 1179 01:06:12,360 --> 01:06:17,720 Speaker 22: be dismantled and defeated. As allies and partners, we must 1180 01:06:17,760 --> 01:06:22,880 Speaker 22: take aggressive action together, sharing the burden through cooperation. We 1181 01:06:22,960 --> 01:06:25,520 Speaker 22: now call upon our long standing relationships built on a 1182 01:06:25,560 --> 01:06:30,160 Speaker 22: foundation of trust and link through shared culture, history, and 1183 01:06:30,240 --> 01:06:33,400 Speaker 22: economic aspirations, to unite for the benefit of all of 1184 01:06:33,440 --> 01:06:34,080 Speaker 22: our nations. 1185 01:06:35,360 --> 01:06:37,440 Speaker 17: Our mutual security is at stake. 1186 01:06:38,440 --> 01:06:44,160 Speaker 22: Through combined operations, training exercises, intelligent information sharing, we will 1187 01:06:44,160 --> 01:06:52,520 Speaker 22: achieve greater domain awareness, interoperability, and capacity to strengthen regional security. 1188 01:06:53,240 --> 01:06:56,760 Speaker 22: With all nations shouldering this burden, our collective resilience will 1189 01:06:56,760 --> 01:07:00,840 Speaker 22: prevent shared adversaries from using the region to further they're 1190 01:07:00,880 --> 01:07:02,600 Speaker 22: maligned agendas. 1191 01:07:03,160 --> 01:07:04,360 Speaker 17: The time is now. 1192 01:07:05,080 --> 01:07:07,520 Speaker 22: Today marks the next step towards moving out to deter 1193 01:07:07,960 --> 01:07:12,000 Speaker 22: and defeat those who threaten the security, stability, and prosperity 1194 01:07:12,000 --> 01:07:16,200 Speaker 22: of the United States, and this Hemisphere. We all face 1195 01:07:16,320 --> 01:07:18,720 Speaker 22: these threats, and the most effective way to counter and 1196 01:07:18,880 --> 01:07:23,160 Speaker 22: riticrate eradicate them is by standing together.

This is truly a 1228 01:09:19,920 --> 01:09:23,560 Speaker 23: historic moment for the United States, for the Western Hemisphere, 1229 01:09:24,160 --> 01:09:26,479 Speaker 23: and for the world. In the room today we have 1230 01:09:26,520 --> 01:09:30,719 Speaker 23: senior leadership from the Department of State, Department of Homeland Security, 1231 01:09:31,280 --> 01:09:34,639 Speaker 23: National Security Council, Homeland Security Council, Officer of National Drug 1232 01:09:34,640 --> 01:09:37,600 Speaker 23: Control Policy Office, the Vice President, and of course the 1233 01:09:37,640 --> 01:09:38,160 Speaker 23: White House. 1234 01:09:39,200 --> 01:09:41,519 Speaker 30: I'm honored to be here with you. 1235 01:09:41,479 --> 01:09:44,519 Speaker 23: Today as Secretary of hexas Acting Assistant Secretary of War 1236 01:09:44,960 --> 01:09:48,920 Speaker 23: for Homeland Defense and the Americas. Welcome everyone to the 1237 01:09:48,960 --> 01:09:54,160 Speaker 23: first America's counter cartel conference in history. Every morning before 1238 01:09:54,160 --> 01:09:56,400 Speaker 23: I enter the Pentagon, I say a prayer in my 1239 01:09:56,479 --> 01:09:58,080 Speaker 23: car to our heavenly Father. 1240 01:09:58,880 --> 01:09:59,960 Speaker 30: And I do this because I'm black. 1241 01:10:00,720 --> 01:10:02,320 Speaker 23: I'm blessed to be able to work in a once 1242 01:10:02,320 --> 01:10:05,400 Speaker 23: in a lifetime administration, to work for a once in 1243 01:10:05,439 --> 01:10:08,280 Speaker 23: a generation leader, President Donald J. 1244 01:10:08,520 --> 01:10:08,880 Speaker 30: Trump. 1245 01:10:09,520 --> 01:10:11,599 Speaker 23: And frankly, it wasn't for President Trump, none of us, 1246 01:10:11,640 --> 01:10:15,439 Speaker 23: including our foreign partners, would be here today. President Trump, 1247 01:10:15,479 --> 01:10:19,960 Speaker 23: Secretary Hegseeth, Mister Stephen Miller. Our leadership today understands in 1248 01:10:20,040 --> 01:10:23,200 Speaker 23: empirical truth that all the leadership the United States missed 1249 01:10:23,960 --> 01:10:27,760 Speaker 23: for decades, if not centuries, They missed the fact that 1250 01:10:27,800 --> 01:10:31,519 Speaker 23: the Americas is an extension of US homeland defense, that 1251 01:10:31,640 --> 01:10:33,680 Speaker 23: hemispheric defense is a part. 1252 01:10:33,920 --> 01:10:37,080 Speaker 30: Of US homeland defense. And this statement of. 1253 01:10:37,040 --> 01:10:40,000 Speaker 23: Fact is now reflected in US policy through the twenty 1254 01:10:40,040 --> 01:10:43,200 Speaker 23: twenty five National Security Strategy and the twenty twenty six 1255 01:10:43,320 --> 01:10:47,080 Speaker 23: National Defense Strategy that correctly places the Americas as a 1256 01:10:47,080 --> 01:10:50,840 Speaker 23: regional priority. Just think about where we were a little 1257 01:10:50,880 --> 01:10:52,000 Speaker 23: over one year ago today. 1258 01:10:53,080 --> 01:10:54,719 Speaker 30: And those of you that know me know that I've been. 1259 01:10:54,640 --> 01:10:58,240 Speaker 23: Working and studying on regional issues for more than twenty years. 1260 01:10:58,800 --> 01:11:01,120 Speaker 23: So I can confidently say that in twenty twenty four, 1261 01:11:01,880 --> 01:11:04,879 Speaker 23: prior to President Trump, I had never seen the Americas 1262 01:11:04,920 --> 01:11:08,679 Speaker 23: in worse shape. Prior to President Trump, there was record 1263 01:11:08,680 --> 01:11:11,960 Speaker 23: breaking illegal mass migration that was collapsing our border in 1264 01:11:11,960 --> 01:11:15,599 Speaker 23: many of your borders as well. There was record breaking 1265 01:11:15,640 --> 01:11:18,559 Speaker 23: deaths of Americans from deadly drugs that was transitting through 1266 01:11:18,600 --> 01:11:23,600 Speaker 23: your countries and stealing your sovereignty. The explosion of transnational 1267 01:11:23,680 --> 01:11:27,320 Speaker 23: organized crime and every single country throughout the Americas was 1268 01:11:27,360 --> 01:11:31,759 Speaker 23: destroying our shared region. If you think about it, before 1269 01:11:31,760 --> 01:11:35,639 Speaker 23: President Trump, we were breaking all the records for all 1270 01:11:35,640 --> 01:11:38,920 Speaker 23: the wrong things. And it was even worse because there 1271 01:11:38,960 --> 01:11:43,160 Speaker 23: was a growing false narrative throughout the region that was 1272 01:11:43,560 --> 01:11:45,800 Speaker 23: taking hold that said, you cannot win a war against 1273 01:11:45,880 --> 01:11:50,720 Speaker 23: major cartels in gangs because they are too powerful. In 1274 01:11:50,760 --> 01:11:54,120 Speaker 23: some cases and even in some countries, frankly, they were 1275 01:11:54,120 --> 01:11:57,200 Speaker 23: giving up and adopted a potter if if you can't 1276 01:11:57,200 --> 01:12:02,240 Speaker 23: beat them, join them. That's not tolerable anymore, not for 1277 01:12:02,240 --> 01:12:05,320 Speaker 23: the United States, not for your countries, and not for 1278 01:12:05,360 --> 01:12:08,519 Speaker 23: our neighborhood. If you look to your right, and you 1279 01:12:08,520 --> 01:12:11,479 Speaker 23: look to your left, you will find partners that are 1280 01:12:11,479 --> 01:12:15,000 Speaker 23: willing to fight with you and if we collectively fight together, 1281 01:12:15,160 --> 01:12:17,840 Speaker 23: there is no gang, there's no terrorists, there is no 1282 01:12:17,920 --> 01:12:22,280 Speaker 23: cartel that is more powerful than us. We are here 1283 01:12:22,320 --> 01:12:24,559 Speaker 23: today because each of you has committed to doing your part, 1284 01:12:25,200 --> 01:12:28,280 Speaker 23: and that commitment cannot just be lip service. This must 1285 01:12:28,280 --> 01:12:30,680 Speaker 23: come with a new approach and a new normal to 1286 01:12:30,760 --> 01:12:34,600 Speaker 23: dismantle and destroy our shared threats of cartels and arco terrorism. 1287 01:12:34,920 --> 01:12:36,360 Speaker 23: There will be a lot of discussions today in a 1288 01:12:36,360 --> 01:12:38,639 Speaker 23: myriad of topics, but I really want to quickly emphasize too, 1289 01:12:38,680 --> 01:12:42,720 Speaker 23: that is central to this effort, border security and deterrence. 1290 01:12:43,800 --> 01:12:46,080 Speaker 30: If you do not control your borders, you do not 1291 01:12:46,120 --> 01:12:47,320 Speaker 30: have a country. 1292 01:12:47,680 --> 01:12:50,519 Speaker 23: Border security and territorial integrity, as President Trump has shown, 1293 01:12:50,880 --> 01:12:54,920 Speaker 23: is possible since seen forty eight, since the Peace of Westphalia, 1294 01:12:55,000 --> 01:12:58,600 Speaker 23: sovereignty has been the bedrock of human flourishing. You do 1295 01:12:58,640 --> 01:13:01,200 Speaker 23: not have a democracy if you do not have your sovereignty, 1296 01:13:01,320 --> 01:13:04,720 Speaker 23: and you cannot have sovereignty without borders. Open borders may 1297 01:13:04,760 --> 01:13:09,719 Speaker 23: transnational organized crime fundamentally transnational, and you do not combat 1298 01:13:09,760 --> 01:13:13,639 Speaker 23: transnational crime with transnational institutions. You fight it with borders 1299 01:13:13,640 --> 01:13:18,080 Speaker 23: in national sovereignty. If we remove the transnational from transnational 1300 01:13:18,160 --> 01:13:22,560 Speaker 23: organized crime becomes a local problem becomes a solvable problem. 1301 01:13:23,160 --> 01:13:29,040 Speaker 23: The second point is on deterrence. Interdiction, while necessary, is 1302 01:13:29,040 --> 01:13:34,720 Speaker 23: not deterrence. Dialogue, while useful, is not deterrence. Failing to 1303 01:13:34,760 --> 01:13:37,920 Speaker 23: control your prisons, your borders, or your waters is not deterrence. 1304 01:13:39,320 --> 01:13:43,519 Speaker 23: Going on offense is deterrence. Operations Southern Spear shows that 1305 01:13:43,560 --> 01:13:47,760 Speaker 23: the deterrence is taking lethal in bold actions. And our 1306 01:13:47,800 --> 01:13:50,680 Speaker 23: goal is for every partner in this room today to 1307 01:13:50,760 --> 01:13:56,920 Speaker 23: start leading deterrence, focus offensive operations against your cartels. And finally, 1308 01:13:56,960 --> 01:13:59,880 Speaker 23: to wrap up, I want to make a point about geography, 1309 01:14:00,120 --> 01:14:04,240 Speaker 23: because geography in this hemisphere is indispensable to security. I 1310 01:14:04,280 --> 01:14:06,639 Speaker 23: mean the secret sauce of Latin America and the Caribbean 1311 01:14:07,400 --> 01:14:10,360 Speaker 23: to be a regional priority for the United States. It's 1312 01:14:10,360 --> 01:14:12,840 Speaker 23: not the size of your trade, it's not your populations 1313 01:14:12,920 --> 01:14:15,960 Speaker 23: or your military. It's because we are always going to 1314 01:14:15,960 --> 01:14:20,040 Speaker 23: be connected because of our shared geography. The United States 1315 01:14:20,120 --> 01:14:24,280 Speaker 23: understood this going back to eighteen fifteen, when two leaders 1316 01:14:24,840 --> 01:14:28,080 Speaker 23: in a relatively young Department of War pushed back against 1317 01:14:28,120 --> 01:14:30,840 Speaker 23: their own establishment. That time, not to look north, or 1318 01:14:30,840 --> 01:14:35,720 Speaker 23: to look east, or rather to look south. Department of 1319 01:14:35,720 --> 01:14:37,640 Speaker 23: War back then fought and won the Battle of New 1320 01:14:37,800 --> 01:14:40,680 Speaker 23: Orleans in eighteen fifteen that connected the United States to 1321 01:14:40,680 --> 01:14:43,519 Speaker 23: what is now the Gulf of America. And that moment 1322 01:14:43,560 --> 01:14:46,840 Speaker 23: two hundred and ten years ago connected my country to yours. 1323 01:14:48,120 --> 01:14:50,160 Speaker 23: And just a few years after that, these same two 1324 01:14:50,240 --> 01:14:52,479 Speaker 23: leaders led the Department of War to fight another war 1325 01:14:52,880 --> 01:14:57,439 Speaker 23: on our southern border, the Seminole Wars, this time to 1326 01:14:57,439 --> 01:15:00,400 Speaker 23: protect our borders against Indian tribes that t us pass 1327 01:15:00,400 --> 01:15:03,599 Speaker 23: our land, raided our towns, and killed Americans. We ultimately 1328 01:15:03,640 --> 01:15:06,519 Speaker 23: won these battles and transferred the Great State of Florida 1329 01:15:06,960 --> 01:15:10,320 Speaker 23: in eighteen twenty one. And then a mere two years later, 1330 01:15:11,120 --> 01:15:13,880 Speaker 23: one of these leaders declared something called. 1331 01:15:13,800 --> 01:15:14,799 Speaker 30: The Monroe Doctrine. 1332 01:15:15,880 --> 01:15:19,519 Speaker 23: The legacy of then Secretary of War James Monroe, who 1333 01:15:19,640 --> 01:15:23,759 Speaker 23: later become President James Monroe and Major General Andrew Jackson, 1334 01:15:23,800 --> 01:15:26,840 Speaker 23: who also later became president, defines the challenge that we 1335 01:15:26,920 --> 01:15:30,280 Speaker 23: have before us today. They say, history doesn't repeat itself, 1336 01:15:30,280 --> 01:15:33,280 Speaker 23: but attends the rhyme, and our interest over the shared 1337 01:15:33,320 --> 01:15:36,439 Speaker 23: geography is the same today as it was two hundred 1338 01:15:36,520 --> 01:15:41,160 Speaker 23: years ago. Today, the Department of War once again has 1339 01:15:41,280 --> 01:15:45,360 Speaker 23: historic leadership under Secretary Pete Hegseth, committed to working with 1340 01:15:45,400 --> 01:15:48,640 Speaker 23: all of you to secure the Western Hemisphere once and 1341 01:15:48,720 --> 01:15:49,160 Speaker 23: for all. 1342 01:15:49,400 --> 01:15:50,680 Speaker 30: Thank you, God, bless. 1343 01:15:50,439 --> 01:16:00,759 Speaker 29: You, thank you. I would now I'd like to invite 1344 01:16:00,760 --> 01:16:03,439 Speaker 29: Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy and Assistant to the 1345 01:16:03,439 --> 01:16:06,559 Speaker 29: President for Homeland Security, Stephen Miller, to the podium. 1346 01:16:07,320 --> 01:16:31,680 Speaker 31: Sir, the floor is yours, General Northouse, and thank you 1347 01:16:31,720 --> 01:16:36,639 Speaker 31: to my good friend Secretary Haig Seth, who I've long admired, 1348 01:16:36,640 --> 01:16:39,360 Speaker 31: but I've gotten to know personally in the last number 1349 01:16:39,439 --> 01:16:42,720 Speaker 31: of months, and he is as fine a gentleman and 1350 01:16:42,800 --> 01:16:43,680 Speaker 31: as fearsome. 1351 01:16:43,360 --> 01:16:44,599 Speaker 24: Warrior as you will ever meet. 1352 01:16:45,040 --> 01:16:48,320 Speaker 21: And we've all learned to put our faith in confidence 1353 01:16:48,320 --> 01:16:49,559 Speaker 21: as leadership of the War Department. 1354 01:16:49,600 --> 01:16:51,519 Speaker 24: So thank you, Pete. 1355 01:16:51,920 --> 01:16:55,760 Speaker 21: There's been a paradigm shift under President Trump in the 1356 01:16:56,040 --> 01:16:58,720 Speaker 21: Western Hemisphere in the last fourteen months. 1357 01:16:59,439 --> 01:17:00,799 Speaker 24: Some of that was touched on by. 1358 01:17:00,760 --> 01:17:05,760 Speaker 21: The earlier speakers, but just to restate it, we are 1359 01:17:05,800 --> 01:17:09,680 Speaker 21: not going to seed an inch of territory in this 1360 01:17:09,760 --> 01:17:14,479 Speaker 21: hemisphere to our enemies or adversaries. Our national security, our 1361 01:17:14,520 --> 01:17:17,880 Speaker 21: homeland security, the safety and well being of our people 1362 01:17:18,479 --> 01:17:21,479 Speaker 21: begins at home, begins in our neighborhood, begins in our 1363 01:17:21,520 --> 01:17:25,919 Speaker 21: home region. And for too long we have allowed foreign enemies, 1364 01:17:26,160 --> 01:17:33,360 Speaker 21: foreign adversaries, and enemy terrorist organizations to control territory in 1365 01:17:33,439 --> 01:17:37,919 Speaker 21: spaces in this hemisphere where they can project power, project threats, 1366 01:17:38,479 --> 01:17:42,680 Speaker 21: and directly threaten the lives of your citizens and our citizens. So, 1367 01:17:42,760 --> 01:17:46,240 Speaker 21: under the leadership of President Trump, we are using hard power, 1368 01:17:46,680 --> 01:17:50,480 Speaker 21: military power, lethal force to protect. 1369 01:17:50,040 --> 01:17:51,679 Speaker 24: And defend the American homeland. 1370 01:17:53,240 --> 01:17:56,800 Speaker 21: Not a single one of your nations should tolerate the 1371 01:17:56,920 --> 01:18:01,519 Speaker 21: existence of a single square mile territory that is under 1372 01:18:01,560 --> 01:18:05,959 Speaker 21: the control of any entity other than the sovereign governments 1373 01:18:05,960 --> 01:18:08,320 Speaker 21: of your country. The idea that we would have in 1374 01:18:08,360 --> 01:18:12,360 Speaker 21: this hemisphere area that are under the physical control of 1375 01:18:12,439 --> 01:18:20,680 Speaker 21: foreign terrorist organizations paramilitary organizations is completely unacceptable. The cartels 1376 01:18:20,720 --> 01:18:23,880 Speaker 21: that operate in this hemisphere are the ISIS and the 1377 01:18:23,920 --> 01:18:27,439 Speaker 21: al Qaida of the Western Hemisphere and should be treated 1378 01:18:27,520 --> 01:18:30,160 Speaker 21: just as brutally and just as ruthlessly as we treat 1379 01:18:30,200 --> 01:18:34,040 Speaker 21: those organizations. We have learned after decades of effort, is 1380 01:18:34,040 --> 01:18:38,599 Speaker 21: that there's not a criminal justice solution to the cartel problem. 1381 01:18:39,000 --> 01:18:41,840 Speaker 21: There are elements of the problem that require criminal justice solution, 1382 01:18:42,280 --> 01:18:46,240 Speaker 21: to be sure, But just as we fought al Qaeda 1383 01:18:46,280 --> 01:18:48,720 Speaker 21: and fought ISIS with the tip of a. 1384 01:18:48,720 --> 01:18:49,799 Speaker 24: Very lethal sphere. 1385 01:18:50,479 --> 01:18:53,760 Speaker 21: The reason why this is a conference with military leadership 1386 01:18:54,320 --> 01:18:58,960 Speaker 21: and not a conference of lawyers. Is because these organizations 1387 01:18:59,240 --> 01:19:01,160 Speaker 21: can only be defeated. 1388 01:19:01,360 --> 01:19:02,479 Speaker 24: With military power. 1389 01:19:03,120 --> 01:19:04,920 Speaker 21: And I see some heads nodding up front because they 1390 01:19:05,000 --> 01:19:06,559 Speaker 21: understand you're dealing with a lot of lawyers in your 1391 01:19:06,560 --> 01:19:09,439 Speaker 21: own country. I'm sure you have my permission not to 1392 01:19:09,479 --> 01:19:18,840 Speaker 21: listen to them. The key condition of human flourishing, of 1393 01:19:18,960 --> 01:19:26,479 Speaker 21: prosperity is order and security. A country cannot pursue economic growth, 1394 01:19:27,439 --> 01:19:36,120 Speaker 21: cultural enrichment, art, architecture, education, science if it doesn't have 1395 01:19:36,160 --> 01:19:39,800 Speaker 21: fundamental security first. And for too long, we've been caught 1396 01:19:39,840 --> 01:19:45,679 Speaker 21: in a vicious cycle in this hemisphere where countries from 1397 01:19:46,000 --> 01:19:49,960 Speaker 21: Mexico down to the tip of South America do not 1398 01:19:50,479 --> 01:19:52,400 Speaker 21: provide their citizens. 1399 01:19:52,000 --> 01:19:53,680 Speaker 24: With basic physical security. 1400 01:19:54,160 --> 01:20:01,240 Speaker 21: So those citizens in search of economic opportunity illegally immigrate 1401 01:20:01,320 --> 01:20:03,960 Speaker 21: to the United States. They pay the smugglers, they pay 1402 01:20:04,000 --> 01:20:07,200 Speaker 21: the cartels, who then grow richer, who then go more powerful, 1403 01:20:08,680 --> 01:20:11,280 Speaker 21: and then your country's in turn become poor because you've 1404 01:20:11,320 --> 01:20:14,479 Speaker 21: lost your citizens, you've lost your human capital, you've lost 1405 01:20:14,479 --> 01:20:18,160 Speaker 21: your opportunities to develop and to grow. You get poor, 1406 01:20:18,479 --> 01:20:23,080 Speaker 21: the cartels get more powerful, nothing changes, nothing improves. You 1407 01:20:23,120 --> 01:20:27,439 Speaker 21: have to break that cycle, you have to completely separate, 1408 01:20:28,200 --> 01:20:32,920 Speaker 21: and that begins by dismantling these organizations that deal drugs, 1409 01:20:33,040 --> 01:20:38,880 Speaker 21: deal violence, assassinate, extore blackmail, and also traffic illegally in 1410 01:20:39,000 --> 01:20:39,679 Speaker 21: human beings. 1411 01:20:40,960 --> 01:20:42,720 Speaker 24: That is a form of terrorism too. 1412 01:20:43,240 --> 01:20:48,960 Speaker 21: Illegal immigration facilitated by criminal networks is a form of terrorism. 1413 01:20:49,520 --> 01:20:53,000 Speaker 21: And those who are stealing your children and stealing your 1414 01:20:53,000 --> 01:20:56,559 Speaker 21: families and stealing your human capital are part of that 1415 01:20:56,720 --> 01:21:00,120 Speaker 21: terrorist continuum and should be thought of as such. It's 1416 01:21:00,160 --> 01:21:03,000 Speaker 21: not a victimless crime. When people are paying human smoking 1417 01:21:03,080 --> 01:21:07,080 Speaker 21: organizations give that money, then fuels assassinations, it fuels violence, 1418 01:21:07,080 --> 01:21:12,200 Speaker 21: it fuels instability, and it continues this cycle for decades. 1419 01:21:13,400 --> 01:21:16,840 Speaker 21: A lot of organizations were sent to your countries. These 1420 01:21:16,880 --> 01:21:19,000 Speaker 21: are known as NGOs I think you know the term 1421 01:21:19,120 --> 01:21:23,880 Speaker 21: non governmental organizations, and they gave you very very bad 1422 01:21:23,920 --> 01:21:28,040 Speaker 21: advice for a very very long time. And basically they 1423 01:21:28,080 --> 01:21:31,920 Speaker 21: told you, in short, that you needed to be softer 1424 01:21:32,120 --> 01:21:35,280 Speaker 21: and gentler and nicer to the criminals, and that you 1425 01:21:35,400 --> 01:21:39,800 Speaker 21: had to demilitarize your approach and extend more rights and 1426 01:21:39,840 --> 01:21:43,200 Speaker 21: more opportunities to the people who are sabotaging and destroying 1427 01:21:43,200 --> 01:21:46,400 Speaker 21: your society. I would make the point to you, as 1428 01:21:46,439 --> 01:21:50,760 Speaker 21: others have pointed out before, including the President of El Salvador, 1429 01:21:51,439 --> 01:21:54,160 Speaker 21: that the West only achieved the place that it did 1430 01:21:54,240 --> 01:21:58,720 Speaker 21: in human history because it spent previous centuries eradicating the 1431 01:21:58,760 --> 01:22:02,880 Speaker 21: criminal elements within territories. So the West that we came 1432 01:22:02,920 --> 01:22:07,599 Speaker 21: to know that had the great music and architecture and 1433 01:22:07,720 --> 01:22:12,200 Speaker 21: science and the most powerful economy, it had spent centuries 1434 01:22:12,240 --> 01:22:17,960 Speaker 21: previous to that establishing order first, so that by the 1435 01:22:17,960 --> 01:22:20,320 Speaker 21: time you get you know, to say, eighteenth century England, 1436 01:22:20,400 --> 01:22:24,000 Speaker 21: nineteenth century England, there have been centuries of previous history 1437 01:22:24,479 --> 01:22:27,120 Speaker 21: in which ruthless means were used to get rid of 1438 01:22:27,160 --> 01:22:31,679 Speaker 21: the people who were raping and murdering and defying established 1439 01:22:31,680 --> 01:22:34,280 Speaker 21: systems of an order and justice. And then when people 1440 01:22:34,360 --> 01:22:37,920 Speaker 21: could live freely and peaceably, and children and families and 1441 01:22:37,960 --> 01:22:41,200 Speaker 21: women could be safe, then it became possible to pursue 1442 01:22:41,240 --> 01:22:44,240 Speaker 21: all of these higher elements of life. So when people 1443 01:22:44,280 --> 01:22:46,600 Speaker 21: who are coming to countries like yours that have had 1444 01:22:46,640 --> 01:22:50,000 Speaker 21: struggles and difficulties and pains and challenges, and they're telling 1445 01:22:50,040 --> 01:22:53,559 Speaker 21: you anything other than first and foremost secure your countries 1446 01:22:53,600 --> 01:22:57,080 Speaker 21: and your territory, they're giving you not only terrible advice, 1447 01:22:57,240 --> 01:23:01,840 Speaker 21: but advice. If someone had come to year euro centuries ago, 1448 01:23:01,880 --> 01:23:03,400 Speaker 21: and they have all that device Europe, but have never 1449 01:23:03,439 --> 01:23:06,439 Speaker 21: became the Europe that eventually became. And the reason why 1450 01:23:06,720 --> 01:23:09,880 Speaker 21: many Western countries are struggling today is they've forgotten the 1451 01:23:09,920 --> 01:23:13,240 Speaker 21: eternal truth and wisdoms they once followed. And that's why 1452 01:23:13,280 --> 01:23:15,880 Speaker 21: here under President Trump in America, we are returning to 1453 01:23:15,920 --> 01:23:19,880 Speaker 21: those fundamental truths. We're returning to those fundamental principles. It's 1454 01:23:19,920 --> 01:23:22,760 Speaker 21: all just closed by saying that you will have in 1455 01:23:22,880 --> 01:23:26,639 Speaker 21: President Trump, in the White House, in the Department of War, 1456 01:23:26,840 --> 01:23:28,799 Speaker 21: the Department of State, and the whole of our government, 1457 01:23:29,280 --> 01:23:35,400 Speaker 21: unwavering support, unwavering commitment and fidelity in achieving this mission, 1458 01:23:36,400 --> 01:23:41,400 Speaker 21: which is very simply to eradicate the criminal cartels and 1459 01:23:41,479 --> 01:23:47,400 Speaker 21: terrorist organizations, to deprive them of control of weapons, spaces, institutions, 1460 01:23:47,439 --> 01:23:51,120 Speaker 21: and territory. And the human rights that we are going 1461 01:23:51,120 --> 01:23:54,960 Speaker 21: to protect are not of the savages that torture and 1462 01:23:55,040 --> 01:23:57,080 Speaker 21: rape and murder. The human rights that we are going 1463 01:23:57,120 --> 01:24:00,320 Speaker 21: to protect are of the peaceabul citizens who have an 1464 01:24:00,360 --> 01:24:04,040 Speaker 21: absolute human right to live in physical safety and security 1465 01:24:04,080 --> 01:24:05,040 Speaker 21: every day of their lives. 1466 01:24:05,280 --> 01:24:07,880 Speaker 24: And in that condition, I promise you we will be 1467 01:24:07,920 --> 01:24:08,799 Speaker 24: our closest partner. 1468 01:24:08,880 --> 01:24:21,880 Speaker 29: Thank you, ladies, and gentlemen, It is now my distinct 1469 01:24:22,040 --> 01:24:26,120 Speaker 29: pleasure to introduce our Secretary of War, the Honorable Pete Hegseth. 1470 01:24:39,040 --> 01:24:44,679 Speaker 3: Well, good morning, everybody. Well, General Donovan and I are 1471 01:24:44,720 --> 01:24:46,800 Speaker 3: pleased to welcome all of you to. 1472 01:24:46,800 --> 01:24:50,280 Speaker 17: Southern Command this morning. I'm honored to be the first 1473 01:24:50,439 --> 01:24:54,320 Speaker 17: Secretary of War to lead a hemispheric defense conference like 1474 01:24:54,360 --> 01:24:56,519 Speaker 17: this in more than thirty years. 1475 01:24:57,880 --> 01:25:03,920 Speaker 3: This conference is about you. This conference is about us. 1476 01:25:04,960 --> 01:25:11,599 Speaker 3: This conference is not called the America Apostrophees America's Countercartel Conference. 1477 01:25:12,120 --> 01:25:17,519 Speaker 3: It's the America's counter Cartel Conference. This is about what 1478 01:25:17,640 --> 01:25:22,880 Speaker 3: we together can do. You know, it's been more than 1479 01:25:22,960 --> 01:25:26,120 Speaker 3: two hundred years since our nations struggled for independence from 1480 01:25:26,160 --> 01:25:26,880 Speaker 3: foreign rule. 1481 01:25:28,640 --> 01:25:30,880 Speaker 17: The War of eighteen twelve was. 1482 01:25:30,880 --> 01:25:35,479 Speaker 3: About the United States defending its independence and protecting its territory. 1483 01:25:36,080 --> 01:25:38,799 Speaker 3: A forty seven year old Carolinian who was a major 1484 01:25:38,880 --> 01:25:43,280 Speaker 3: general in the army, as was mentioned, Andrew Jackson, defeated 1485 01:25:43,280 --> 01:25:48,080 Speaker 3: a British army almost double the size. Addressing his troops 1486 01:25:48,120 --> 01:25:51,200 Speaker 3: after victory at the Battle of New Orleans, Jackson declared, 1487 01:25:51,600 --> 01:25:54,800 Speaker 3: natives of different states, acting together for the first time, 1488 01:25:54,880 --> 01:25:59,639 Speaker 3: have reaped the fruits of an honorable Union. His success 1489 01:26:00,040 --> 01:26:05,519 Speaker 3: alphainized a young country. In eighteen sixteen, our country elected 1490 01:26:05,520 --> 01:26:07,879 Speaker 3: a revolutionary war hero as President. 1491 01:26:08,880 --> 01:26:09,920 Speaker 17: James Monroe. 1492 01:26:10,439 --> 01:26:13,960 Speaker 3: Fought in the Continental Army, leading a charge against German 1493 01:26:14,000 --> 01:26:19,480 Speaker 3: mercenaries fighting for the British. The enemy fired a musketball. 1494 01:26:19,600 --> 01:26:23,000 Speaker 3: It severed his artery, and he almost died. But the 1495 01:26:23,040 --> 01:26:26,559 Speaker 3: young Captain rallied and grew to be Governor of Virginia, 1496 01:26:27,160 --> 01:26:29,879 Speaker 3: Secretary of War, and one. 1497 01:26:29,680 --> 01:26:30,840 Speaker 17: Of our greatest presidents. 1498 01:26:32,080 --> 01:26:35,120 Speaker 3: In eighteen twenty three, President Monroe said that the United 1499 01:26:35,160 --> 01:26:38,360 Speaker 3: States owed the success of that young country to the 1500 01:26:38,439 --> 01:26:43,160 Speaker 3: candor and amicable relations with other powers. To affirm our 1501 01:26:43,240 --> 01:26:48,520 Speaker 3: national policy, President Monroe declared, we should consider any attempt 1502 01:26:49,040 --> 01:26:53,840 Speaker 3: on malign countries to extend their system to any portion 1503 01:26:54,000 --> 01:26:57,799 Speaker 3: of this hemisphere as dangerous to our peace and safety. 1504 01:26:59,120 --> 01:27:04,080 Speaker 3: It was the Monroe doctrine of eighteen twenty three, and today, 1505 01:27:04,120 --> 01:27:06,479 Speaker 3: some two hundred years later, we still marvel at the 1506 01:27:06,520 --> 01:27:12,760 Speaker 3: wisdom of President Monroe's declaration. We, like you, want borders 1507 01:27:12,800 --> 01:27:17,240 Speaker 3: and sovereign territories that are secure. We want unfettered access 1508 01:27:17,320 --> 01:27:22,160 Speaker 3: to key terrain and trade so that our nations can industrialize, 1509 01:27:22,600 --> 01:27:25,920 Speaker 3: And we want to prevent external powers from threatening our 1510 01:27:25,960 --> 01:27:29,320 Speaker 3: peace and independence in our shared neighbors. This is the 1511 01:27:29,439 --> 01:27:34,080 Speaker 3: essence of the Monroe doctrine. No external power will interfere 1512 01:27:34,160 --> 01:27:38,559 Speaker 3: in this hemispheres. Ours should be a region of strong 1513 01:27:39,120 --> 01:27:43,439 Speaker 3: sovereign nations. It's the same principle that animates President Trump's 1514 01:27:43,439 --> 01:27:44,400 Speaker 3: defense approach. 1515 01:27:44,520 --> 01:27:44,920 Speaker 17: Today. 1516 01:27:45,520 --> 01:27:49,280 Speaker 3: President Trump and his Department of War are ushering in 1517 01:27:49,400 --> 01:27:52,840 Speaker 3: a new era of homeland and hemispheric defense rooted in 1518 01:27:52,880 --> 01:27:57,599 Speaker 3: the unique heritage of our nation and your nations. Under 1519 01:27:57,640 --> 01:28:01,880 Speaker 3: President Trump, we restored the Department of War. You see, 1520 01:28:01,880 --> 01:28:04,879 Speaker 3: the Department of War was established by General George Washington 1521 01:28:05,880 --> 01:28:08,479 Speaker 3: and served our nation from its founding through. 1522 01:28:08,240 --> 01:28:10,240 Speaker 17: Our hard fought victory in World War Too. 1523 01:28:10,640 --> 01:28:15,599 Speaker 3: Many of your countries also once had Ministries of War. 1524 01:28:17,200 --> 01:28:20,160 Speaker 3: Under President Trump, our nation has a newfound resolve that 1525 01:28:20,200 --> 01:28:24,280 Speaker 3: our founders would recognize. As Stephen alluded to and spoke to, 1526 01:28:24,479 --> 01:28:25,920 Speaker 3: they would recognize. 1527 01:28:25,439 --> 01:28:27,439 Speaker 17: It, and they would appreciate it. 1528 01:28:28,840 --> 01:28:32,439 Speaker 3: We are at long last putting America, Americans and the 1529 01:28:32,479 --> 01:28:37,479 Speaker 3: Americas first, ensuring peace through strength and restoring common sense 1530 01:28:38,960 --> 01:28:42,080 Speaker 3: At our department. We're doing it by restoring the warrior ethos, 1531 01:28:42,479 --> 01:28:47,240 Speaker 3: rebuilding our military to historic levels, and re establishing deterrence 1532 01:28:47,320 --> 01:28:51,599 Speaker 3: in this hemisphere and around the world. For two long, 1533 01:28:51,680 --> 01:28:56,840 Speaker 3: leaders in Washington and their foreign foreign policy functionaries abandoned 1534 01:28:57,120 --> 01:29:02,040 Speaker 3: the simple wisdom of the Monroe doctrine. They were consumed 1535 01:29:02,080 --> 01:29:05,840 Speaker 3: with the United States only going abroad. They ignored the 1536 01:29:05,880 --> 01:29:08,640 Speaker 3: warnings of President John Quincy Adams, who said that if 1537 01:29:08,640 --> 01:29:09,479 Speaker 3: our nation went. 1538 01:29:09,360 --> 01:29:12,160 Speaker 17: Overseas only in search of monsters. 1539 01:29:11,600 --> 01:29:14,400 Speaker 3: To destroy, that we would cease to be the ruler 1540 01:29:15,080 --> 01:29:20,000 Speaker 3: of our own spirit and our own backyard. Under previous leaders, 1541 01:29:20,000 --> 01:29:23,760 Speaker 3: we grew obsessed with every other theater and every other 1542 01:29:23,920 --> 01:29:29,040 Speaker 3: border in the world except our own. These elites reduced 1543 01:29:29,040 --> 01:29:32,360 Speaker 3: our power and presence in this hemisphere, opting for a 1544 01:29:32,439 --> 01:29:36,440 Speaker 3: benign neglect that was anything but benign. 1545 01:29:37,600 --> 01:29:38,439 Speaker 17: In your countries. 1546 01:29:38,920 --> 01:29:41,840 Speaker 3: Many leaders accepted the status quo to coexist with narco 1547 01:29:41,960 --> 01:29:45,879 Speaker 3: terrorism or for law enforcement, for a law enforcement alone 1548 01:29:45,960 --> 01:29:49,400 Speaker 3: approach that failed to deter and dismantle threats. The same 1549 01:29:49,520 --> 01:29:53,280 Speaker 3: happened in our country under the previous administration, and the. 1550 01:29:53,240 --> 01:29:55,759 Speaker 17: Result of this collective neglect was fatal. 1551 01:29:57,320 --> 01:30:01,600 Speaker 3: More than one million Americans were killed by fentanyl, cocaine, 1552 01:30:01,960 --> 01:30:06,880 Speaker 3: and other drugs, numbers greater than any casualties we've sustained 1553 01:30:07,000 --> 01:30:11,880 Speaker 3: in war millions of illegal aliens invaded our borders and 1554 01:30:11,960 --> 01:30:17,600 Speaker 3: destabilized nations across the hemisphere. Under Joe Biden's administration, the 1555 01:30:17,680 --> 01:30:19,520 Speaker 3: human smuggling industry. 1556 01:30:19,080 --> 01:30:21,080 Speaker 17: Exploded by more than. 1557 01:30:20,960 --> 01:30:25,960 Speaker 3: Two thousand percent, from a five hundred million dollars so 1558 01:30:26,080 --> 01:30:32,240 Speaker 3: called industry in twenty eighteen to thirteen billion by twenty 1559 01:30:32,400 --> 01:30:38,040 Speaker 3: twenty two. Cartels of terrorists across our hemisphere, enabled by adversaries, 1560 01:30:38,080 --> 01:30:43,920 Speaker 3: created and profited from chaos. What creates chaos, No leadership 1561 01:30:44,080 --> 01:30:47,040 Speaker 3: creates chaos in our nation. 1562 01:30:47,160 --> 01:30:51,400 Speaker 17: Narco terrorist groups like Trend de Arragua prospered. They raped, they. 1563 01:30:51,240 --> 01:30:54,960 Speaker 3: Poisoned, they murdered innocent Americans. They terrorized our cities, our towns, 1564 01:30:55,320 --> 01:30:59,439 Speaker 3: and our neighborhoods like they do yours across this region. 1565 01:30:59,479 --> 01:31:03,520 Speaker 3: These gangster's control and terrorize large swaths of your territories, 1566 01:31:03,880 --> 01:31:07,519 Speaker 3: kill thousands of your people, and promote chaos that makes 1567 01:31:08,000 --> 01:31:11,520 Speaker 3: normal life sometimes almost impossible. 1568 01:31:13,120 --> 01:31:15,560 Speaker 17: Crimes spiked massively. 1569 01:31:17,120 --> 01:31:19,680 Speaker 3: This Our hemisphere has one eighth of the population and 1570 01:31:19,880 --> 01:31:21,200 Speaker 3: yet one third of the violent crime. 1571 01:31:21,200 --> 01:31:22,120 Speaker 17: There's a reason for that. 1572 01:31:23,680 --> 01:31:31,679 Speaker 3: America's retreat from protecting its citizens and the complacency of many. 1573 01:31:31,920 --> 01:31:35,400 Speaker 3: That's what it was a great betrayal against our people 1574 01:31:35,960 --> 01:31:41,880 Speaker 3: and our nations. While President Trump recognizes the wisdom of 1575 01:31:42,200 --> 01:31:45,920 Speaker 3: the Monroe Doctrine and the days of US betraying and 1576 01:31:46,120 --> 01:31:51,400 Speaker 3: endangering our own citizens are finished. President Trump has re 1577 01:31:51,560 --> 01:31:57,280 Speaker 3: established the Minroe Doctrine, the Trump corollary of the Monroe Doctrine, 1578 01:31:57,640 --> 01:31:59,920 Speaker 3: or if you'd like for short, you can just call 1579 01:32:00,120 --> 01:32:05,479 Speaker 3: at the Dunroad Doctrine. Under President Trump, securing America's interest 1580 01:32:05,520 --> 01:32:09,080 Speaker 3: in the Western Hemisphere and keeping our homeland safe are 1581 01:32:09,120 --> 01:32:15,559 Speaker 3: our top national security priorities. The President's historic National Defense 1582 01:32:15,600 --> 01:32:19,560 Speaker 3: Strategy ensures that the Department of War will prioritize resources 1583 01:32:20,080 --> 01:32:24,520 Speaker 3: around the threats and objectives that are core to homeland 1584 01:32:24,520 --> 01:32:28,439 Speaker 3: defense and the people and prosperity of the American people. 1585 01:32:29,160 --> 01:32:31,400 Speaker 3: And to start, the Department of War is once again 1586 01:32:31,439 --> 01:32:34,200 Speaker 3: defending our borders as a priority of. 1587 01:32:34,120 --> 01:32:35,040 Speaker 17: Our national defense. 1588 01:32:36,080 --> 01:32:38,879 Speaker 3: With our law enforcement partners, we are defending our borders 1589 01:32:38,920 --> 01:32:42,559 Speaker 3: and making our streets safe again. Crossings at our southern 1590 01:32:42,600 --> 01:32:45,800 Speaker 3: border at the US Mexico border have dropped to the 1591 01:32:45,840 --> 01:32:51,680 Speaker 3: lowest number in history. Murders nationwide have plummeted by more 1592 01:32:51,720 --> 01:32:55,840 Speaker 3: than twenty percent. We now have operational control of our 1593 01:32:55,920 --> 01:33:00,519 Speaker 3: southern borders. Zero people are crossing our southern border. We 1594 01:33:00,560 --> 01:33:03,680 Speaker 3: will not rest until we have complete operational control of 1595 01:33:03,840 --> 01:33:06,000 Speaker 3: every inch of all of our borders. 1596 01:33:07,000 --> 01:33:10,080 Speaker 17: So it starts with us. We're addressing it, but we're 1597 01:33:10,080 --> 01:33:13,080 Speaker 17: not stopping there. Under President Trump, for the first time 1598 01:33:13,080 --> 01:33:16,439 Speaker 17: in history, Department of War is on the offense against 1599 01:33:16,520 --> 01:33:17,680 Speaker 17: narco terrorists as well. 1600 01:33:18,160 --> 01:33:19,479 Speaker 24: I should back up the step though. 1601 01:33:20,600 --> 01:33:22,720 Speaker 3: In order to get one hundred percent operational control of 1602 01:33:22,720 --> 01:33:25,680 Speaker 3: our border, we didn't just look at border patrol and 1603 01:33:25,760 --> 01:33:26,840 Speaker 3: say that's your job. 1604 01:33:26,920 --> 01:33:30,880 Speaker 17: It's a law enforcement function. We deployed the United States military. 1605 01:33:31,120 --> 01:33:34,000 Speaker 3: Right now, the Division Command of the one hundred and 1606 01:33:34,000 --> 01:33:37,160 Speaker 3: first Airborne is in operational control of the southern border. 1607 01:33:37,560 --> 01:33:40,280 Speaker 3: We ensured that the most capable assets we had in 1608 01:33:40,320 --> 01:33:43,479 Speaker 3: our country were deployed to our own border to defend 1609 01:33:43,560 --> 01:33:46,599 Speaker 3: that border against the narco terrorists and drug dealers seeking 1610 01:33:46,680 --> 01:33:49,439 Speaker 3: to enter our country, not treating it simply as a 1611 01:33:49,520 --> 01:33:54,080 Speaker 3: law enforcement function, working with our partners, but recognizing it's 1612 01:33:54,080 --> 01:33:57,200 Speaker 3: a core military function, but going on offense with Operation 1613 01:33:57,400 --> 01:34:00,759 Speaker 3: Southern Spear has restored de terrence against the narco terrast 1614 01:34:00,800 --> 01:34:02,400 Speaker 3: cartels that profited. 1615 01:34:01,920 --> 01:34:03,080 Speaker 17: From poisoned Americans. 1616 01:34:04,160 --> 01:34:06,519 Speaker 3: Last month, we went a few weeks without targeting a 1617 01:34:06,560 --> 01:34:11,240 Speaker 3: single boat. Why well, because we couldn't find a whole 1618 01:34:11,280 --> 01:34:14,719 Speaker 3: lot of boats to sink. And that's the whole point, 1619 01:34:15,760 --> 01:34:20,160 Speaker 3: is to establish deterrence from narco terrists who have been 1620 01:34:20,200 --> 01:34:24,320 Speaker 3: able to traffic almost unfettered. And if the consequence was 1621 01:34:24,360 --> 01:34:26,839 Speaker 3: simply to be arrested and then releasefull, that's a consequence 1622 01:34:26,880 --> 01:34:29,840 Speaker 3: they'd already priced in a long time ago. A new 1623 01:34:29,920 --> 01:34:32,720 Speaker 3: dynamic had to be put in motion in order for 1624 01:34:32,920 --> 01:34:36,679 Speaker 3: their decision cycle to change. And when adversaries are forced 1625 01:34:36,720 --> 01:34:39,160 Speaker 3: to move out of comfortable positions, as you know as 1626 01:34:39,200 --> 01:34:41,920 Speaker 3: military men and women, they're more vulnerable when they're moving 1627 01:34:42,120 --> 01:34:45,400 Speaker 3: in a different direction, which is also the point. 1628 01:34:46,320 --> 01:34:48,479 Speaker 17: Drug overdoses that kill our citizens have dropped. 1629 01:34:48,520 --> 01:34:51,000 Speaker 3: Flows of fentanyl, a weapon of mass destruction, are down 1630 01:34:51,040 --> 01:34:52,000 Speaker 3: fifty six percent. 1631 01:34:52,240 --> 01:34:54,759 Speaker 17: We will continue to destroy these threats. 1632 01:34:56,000 --> 01:35:00,000 Speaker 3: In January, US forces raided and arrested the most danger 1633 01:35:00,160 --> 01:35:02,800 Speaker 3: his house and the most dangerous compound inside the most 1634 01:35:02,840 --> 01:35:06,400 Speaker 3: fortified fort in the capital city of Caracas, of two 1635 01:35:06,439 --> 01:35:09,320 Speaker 3: indicted individuals, Nicholas mcdurero and his wife, fugitives of the 1636 01:35:09,439 --> 01:35:14,919 Speaker 3: US of US law. Operation Absolute Resolves, showed the bravery 1637 01:35:15,720 --> 01:35:18,080 Speaker 3: of America's best, our warfighters. Nobody can do what the 1638 01:35:18,120 --> 01:35:20,920 Speaker 3: United States of American can do. It's not even close. 1639 01:35:22,240 --> 01:35:24,960 Speaker 3: President Trump has shown what is possible when you reject 1640 01:35:24,960 --> 01:35:28,240 Speaker 3: the status quo delusion that threats to our homeland and 1641 01:35:28,280 --> 01:35:33,360 Speaker 3: our hemisphere are somehow secondary. America is prepared to take 1642 01:35:33,400 --> 01:35:37,920 Speaker 3: on these threats and go on the offense alone if necessary. 1643 01:35:39,000 --> 01:35:43,280 Speaker 17: However, it and it is the goal of this. 1644 01:35:43,320 --> 01:35:46,720 Speaker 3: Conference, that in the interest of this neighborhood, we all 1645 01:35:46,760 --> 01:35:49,120 Speaker 3: do it together with you, with our neighbors, and with 1646 01:35:49,160 --> 01:35:53,040 Speaker 3: our allies who are eager and willing and capable to 1647 01:35:53,120 --> 01:35:55,760 Speaker 3: do this. To work together, we must first acknowledge what 1648 01:35:55,920 --> 01:35:58,200 Speaker 3: was lost and then understand what. 1649 01:35:58,240 --> 01:35:59,400 Speaker 17: Needs to be restored. 1650 01:36:00,600 --> 01:36:03,880 Speaker 3: All the nations represented in this room are offsprings of 1651 01:36:03,920 --> 01:36:08,559 Speaker 3: Western civilization. Our nations are and always will be, united 1652 01:36:08,600 --> 01:36:13,679 Speaker 3: by our heritage, our history, and geography. In this new world, 1653 01:36:14,120 --> 01:36:18,080 Speaker 3: we share the same interests, and because of this, we 1654 01:36:18,160 --> 01:36:22,240 Speaker 3: face an essential test whether our nations will be and 1655 01:36:22,400 --> 01:36:31,520 Speaker 3: remain Western nations with distinct characteristics Christian nations under God, 1656 01:36:32,800 --> 01:36:36,240 Speaker 3: proud of our shared heritage, with strong borders and prosperous people, 1657 01:36:36,600 --> 01:36:40,880 Speaker 3: ruled not by violence and chaos, but by law, order 1658 01:36:41,280 --> 01:36:45,240 Speaker 3: and common sense, or whether we are permanently torn apart 1659 01:36:45,280 --> 01:36:50,200 Speaker 3: by something else, led astray by competing forces, Radical narco communism, 1660 01:36:50,439 --> 01:36:54,160 Speaker 3: anarcho tyranny which threaten our people, borders, and sovereign lands 1661 01:36:54,400 --> 01:36:57,719 Speaker 3: in the name of a false sovereignty, or a false 1662 01:36:58,040 --> 01:37:04,640 Speaker 3: peace controlled mass migration which overwhelms domestic resources intended for 1663 01:37:04,760 --> 01:37:10,160 Speaker 3: deserving citizens and drives unchecked crime and unchecked violence. 1664 01:37:11,320 --> 01:37:14,840 Speaker 17: Or the belief in so called globalism that seeks to. 1665 01:37:14,880 --> 01:37:18,440 Speaker 3: Erase our distinct national identities in the name of tolerance, 1666 01:37:19,160 --> 01:37:23,120 Speaker 3: erase our borders in the name of compassion, and erase 1667 01:37:23,360 --> 01:37:25,880 Speaker 3: our warrior ethos, and that which makes us strong in 1668 01:37:25,880 --> 01:37:29,240 Speaker 3: the name of so called diversity and political correctness. 1669 01:37:29,760 --> 01:37:30,040 Speaker 8: One of the. 1670 01:37:30,080 --> 01:37:33,439 Speaker 3: Dumbest phrases in military history, which used to be echoed 1671 01:37:33,479 --> 01:37:37,120 Speaker 3: from the former Defense Department in the previous administration. They 1672 01:37:37,160 --> 01:37:40,600 Speaker 3: would say it over and over and over again, was 1673 01:37:40,680 --> 01:37:42,320 Speaker 3: our diversity is our strength. 1674 01:37:43,240 --> 01:37:45,200 Speaker 17: It's the single dumbest phrase. 1675 01:37:44,920 --> 01:37:49,360 Speaker 3: In military history, because what is our strength is our unity. 1676 01:37:50,160 --> 01:37:54,080 Speaker 3: Our strength is in our shared purpose, in the training. 1677 01:37:53,760 --> 01:37:57,000 Speaker 17: We do together, the capabilities we have to do we can. 1678 01:37:56,920 --> 01:37:59,600 Speaker 3: Do together, in our context, the constitution we swear an 1679 01:37:59,600 --> 01:38:03,920 Speaker 3: elth todd together. The uniform we wear together. That is 1680 01:38:04,280 --> 01:38:10,920 Speaker 3: our strength. We reject other notions and offer a new choice. 1681 01:38:11,040 --> 01:38:14,360 Speaker 3: We must defend our national interest and restore our national identities. 1682 01:38:15,360 --> 01:38:16,880 Speaker 17: Otherwise the outcome is the same. 1683 01:38:16,960 --> 01:38:21,040 Speaker 3: Our hemisphere will be poorer, more dangerous, and weaker. 1684 01:38:22,920 --> 01:38:23,719 Speaker 17: This matters not. 1685 01:38:23,640 --> 01:38:26,479 Speaker 3: Because we seek to preach to you about culture, wars 1686 01:38:26,520 --> 01:38:29,240 Speaker 3: or ideologies, or to tell you how to run your countries. 1687 01:38:29,320 --> 01:38:30,960 Speaker 17: We're not here to tell you how to run your countries. 1688 01:38:31,840 --> 01:38:35,240 Speaker 3: Instead of matters matters how we assess the threats facing us, 1689 01:38:36,200 --> 01:38:38,960 Speaker 3: and the choices that we make on how to overcome them. 1690 01:38:39,000 --> 01:38:43,760 Speaker 3: That is what will define our destiny. President Trump understands 1691 01:38:43,800 --> 01:38:46,960 Speaker 3: that today's threats to border security and key terrain in 1692 01:38:47,160 --> 01:38:52,400 Speaker 3: our hemisphere are existential questions for our nation and for 1693 01:38:52,439 --> 01:38:57,879 Speaker 3: all of yours. When adversaries conduct incursions in this hemisphere off. 1694 01:38:57,720 --> 01:39:01,280 Speaker 17: The coast of a US state, or off the coast. 1695 01:39:01,120 --> 01:39:03,679 Speaker 3: Of Greenland, or in the Gulf of America or the Caribbean, 1696 01:39:04,160 --> 01:39:06,800 Speaker 3: that is a direct threat to the United States homeland 1697 01:39:07,120 --> 01:39:11,960 Speaker 3: and to peace in this hemisphere. When adversaries control ports 1698 01:39:12,640 --> 01:39:17,400 Speaker 3: or infrastructure along strategic choke points for US and hemisphere trades, 1699 01:39:17,439 --> 01:39:21,200 Speaker 3: such as the Panama Canal, or install military facilities just miles. 1700 01:39:20,880 --> 01:39:23,479 Speaker 17: Off our shore. That is a threat to. 1701 01:39:23,439 --> 01:39:28,080 Speaker 3: The United States homeland and peace to this hemisphere. When 1702 01:39:28,160 --> 01:39:33,479 Speaker 3: terrorist killers and cartels capture strategic infrastructure resources and entire 1703 01:39:33,600 --> 01:39:36,879 Speaker 3: towns or cities close to US borders and US shores, 1704 01:39:37,760 --> 01:39:42,360 Speaker 3: or profit from mass legal migration, that is a threat 1705 01:39:42,840 --> 01:39:44,479 Speaker 3: to the United States homeland and. 1706 01:39:44,479 --> 01:39:48,440 Speaker 17: A threat to all of you, as well to the Americas. 1707 01:39:49,800 --> 01:39:54,320 Speaker 3: The same adversaries that threaten our shared heritage threaten our 1708 01:39:54,360 --> 01:39:58,879 Speaker 3: shared geography as well. They seek to displace the historic 1709 01:39:59,000 --> 01:40:02,760 Speaker 3: North South relationstionship that we've always shared with some sort 1710 01:40:02,760 --> 01:40:03,000 Speaker 3: of a. 1711 01:40:02,920 --> 01:40:06,320 Speaker 17: New global South that excludes. 1712 01:40:05,880 --> 01:40:10,560 Speaker 3: The United States and other Western nations but includes non Western. 1713 01:40:10,320 --> 01:40:12,880 Speaker 17: Powers and other adversaries. 1714 01:40:14,760 --> 01:40:17,280 Speaker 3: The answer to our challenge is not to ignore our 1715 01:40:17,320 --> 01:40:21,840 Speaker 3: geography in the name of global interests, but to embrace 1716 01:40:22,240 --> 01:40:27,000 Speaker 3: our shared geography in the name of national interests. That 1717 01:40:27,120 --> 01:40:29,840 Speaker 3: is why President Trump has drawn a new strategic map 1718 01:40:30,439 --> 01:40:32,879 Speaker 3: from Greenland to the Gulf of America to the Panama 1719 01:40:32,960 --> 01:40:36,599 Speaker 3: Canal and its surrounding countries. At the Department of War, 1720 01:40:36,680 --> 01:40:41,559 Speaker 3: we call this strategic map the Greater North America. Why 1721 01:40:41,880 --> 01:40:45,479 Speaker 3: because every sovereign nation and territory north of the equator, 1722 01:40:45,800 --> 01:40:49,479 Speaker 3: from Greenland to Ecuador and from Alaska to Ghana is not. 1723 01:40:49,560 --> 01:40:51,679 Speaker 17: Part of the global South. 1724 01:40:53,560 --> 01:40:57,320 Speaker 3: Is our security parader in this great neighborhood that we 1725 01:40:57,400 --> 01:41:01,200 Speaker 3: all live in. Each one of these tries border either 1726 01:41:01,240 --> 01:41:04,200 Speaker 3: the North Atlantic or the North Pacific. Each one of 1727 01:41:04,200 --> 01:41:07,960 Speaker 3: these countries sits north of the two basic geographic barriers 1728 01:41:07,960 --> 01:41:12,679 Speaker 3: that exist in this region, the Amazon and the Andes Mountains. 1729 01:41:13,720 --> 01:41:17,680 Speaker 3: This is basic geography that we don't mention schools as 1730 01:41:17,760 --> 01:41:21,080 Speaker 3: much as we should, and it restores our North South 1731 01:41:21,120 --> 01:41:23,200 Speaker 3: relations and we must get it right. 1732 01:41:24,160 --> 01:41:25,839 Speaker 17: In the North. The United States must. 1733 01:41:25,640 --> 01:41:29,240 Speaker 3: Enhance posture and presence in cooperation with you and our 1734 01:41:29,280 --> 01:41:33,360 Speaker 3: sovereign partners to defend our shared immediate security perimeter in 1735 01:41:33,400 --> 01:41:36,639 Speaker 3: the South, meaning south of the equator, the other side 1736 01:41:36,680 --> 01:41:40,880 Speaker 3: of this great neighborhood. We will strengthen partnerships through increased 1737 01:41:40,920 --> 01:41:41,639 Speaker 3: burden sharing. 1738 01:41:42,520 --> 01:41:44,559 Speaker 17: This will enable you to take a greater role to. 1739 01:41:44,520 --> 01:41:47,720 Speaker 3: Defend the South Atlantic and the South Pacific and to 1740 01:41:47,760 --> 01:41:52,720 Speaker 3: secure critical infrastructure and resources in partnership with US and 1741 01:41:52,880 --> 01:41:56,960 Speaker 3: other Western nations. This is what we did in World 1742 01:41:56,960 --> 01:42:00,599 Speaker 3: War Two, just like we sunkships with torpedo in World 1743 01:42:00,640 --> 01:42:01,000 Speaker 3: War two. 1744 01:42:02,080 --> 01:42:04,920 Speaker 17: At the Department of War, we called that the quarter 1745 01:42:05,320 --> 01:42:11,240 Speaker 17: Sphere Defense, and we will do this again. If we're serious. 1746 01:42:10,920 --> 01:42:15,959 Speaker 3: About our national security, and if we prioritize geography, business 1747 01:42:16,040 --> 01:42:19,599 Speaker 3: as usual will not stand. This means that for every 1748 01:42:19,600 --> 01:42:24,759 Speaker 3: country in this hemisphere, border security must be your top priority. 1749 01:42:25,000 --> 01:42:29,559 Speaker 3: Border security is national security. President Trump said it when 1750 01:42:29,560 --> 01:42:31,960 Speaker 3: he first started to run. You're not a country if 1751 01:42:32,040 --> 01:42:36,360 Speaker 3: you don't have borders, and he's right. President Trump sealed 1752 01:42:36,400 --> 01:42:39,360 Speaker 3: our border by directing the military to mobilize resources and 1753 01:42:39,439 --> 01:42:43,320 Speaker 3: personnel to stop invasion by cartels and other criminal actors. 1754 01:42:43,640 --> 01:42:46,240 Speaker 17: You can do this as well, and many of you have. 1755 01:42:48,000 --> 01:42:50,400 Speaker 3: This also means that you too can and must go 1756 01:42:50,479 --> 01:42:53,559 Speaker 3: on the offense against narco terrorists. 1757 01:42:55,280 --> 01:42:57,200 Speaker 17: We've had great collaboration. 1758 01:42:56,720 --> 01:42:58,640 Speaker 3: With many countries in recent months, and I want to 1759 01:42:58,640 --> 01:43:01,639 Speaker 3: thank every country in this room that has supported our 1760 01:43:01,680 --> 01:43:05,960 Speaker 3: access to find, fix, and finish cartel targets. 1761 01:43:05,960 --> 01:43:08,559 Speaker 17: We have only just begun to work with you. 1762 01:43:09,960 --> 01:43:12,720 Speaker 3: More must be done by you and by us to 1763 01:43:12,720 --> 01:43:18,480 Speaker 3: target narco terrorist groups across all domains. We will dismantle 1764 01:43:18,600 --> 01:43:22,160 Speaker 3: narco terrorist networks in this hemisphere, and we will deny 1765 01:43:22,280 --> 01:43:26,639 Speaker 3: access to the state adversaries who support them. We will 1766 01:43:26,680 --> 01:43:30,280 Speaker 3: correct the mistakes of the past, the mistakes of the 1767 01:43:30,360 --> 01:43:34,799 Speaker 3: so called Global South. I want to thank General Donovan, 1768 01:43:35,439 --> 01:43:37,519 Speaker 3: who has been an excellent partner and a great new 1769 01:43:37,560 --> 01:43:40,599 Speaker 3: leader here at Southern Command. One of the great mistakes 1770 01:43:40,600 --> 01:43:42,880 Speaker 3: of the past was that our leaders didn't provide the 1771 01:43:43,040 --> 01:43:44,880 Speaker 3: US Southern Command. 1772 01:43:44,840 --> 01:43:46,360 Speaker 17: With the support that it needed. 1773 01:43:47,120 --> 01:43:49,639 Speaker 3: It was a command chalk full of lawyers and social 1774 01:43:49,680 --> 01:43:53,080 Speaker 3: workers and NGOs law enforcement. 1775 01:43:54,040 --> 01:43:56,800 Speaker 17: That's changing, General. I'm directing my. 1776 01:43:56,800 --> 01:43:59,880 Speaker 3: Team to correct these historic failures, to ensure that you're 1777 01:44:00,120 --> 01:44:03,880 Speaker 3: command has the resources and staff that you need for 1778 01:44:03,920 --> 01:44:07,160 Speaker 3: this robust mission ahead. It's the least we can do. 1779 01:44:08,160 --> 01:44:17,600 Speaker 3: I want to absolutely thank you. It's about time. But 1780 01:44:17,680 --> 01:44:19,280 Speaker 3: it's not just us at the Department of War, and 1781 01:44:19,280 --> 01:44:23,200 Speaker 3: it's not just Southern Command. This is across the Trump administration. 1782 01:44:23,680 --> 01:44:26,800 Speaker 3: This is across the Department of War as well. Stephen Miller, 1783 01:44:26,840 --> 01:44:28,439 Speaker 3: thank you for your support and your leadership, for your 1784 01:44:28,439 --> 01:44:33,080 Speaker 3: clarity understanding why this matters to each American citizen and 1785 01:44:33,120 --> 01:44:35,639 Speaker 3: why the War Department is central to ensuring that it happens. 1786 01:44:35,640 --> 01:44:39,360 Speaker 3: It doesn't happen without President Trump, and it doesn't happen without. 1787 01:44:39,120 --> 01:44:40,280 Speaker 17: Your clarity and your leadership. 1788 01:44:40,880 --> 01:44:44,080 Speaker 3: I want to thank General Northouse as well for your support. 1789 01:44:44,360 --> 01:44:44,920 Speaker 17: At every level. 1790 01:44:44,960 --> 01:44:47,400 Speaker 3: There's so many to thank and see Corey Lewandowski here 1791 01:44:47,640 --> 01:44:49,800 Speaker 3: from the Department of Homeland Security.
