1 00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:04,880 Speaker 1: The Trump administration wants the Senate to ditch their recess 2 00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:07,680 Speaker 1: over the shutdown and get back to the work of 3 00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:12,440 Speaker 1: the American people. President Trump calling out the Senate and 4 00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:15,800 Speaker 1: saying it's time to return into your job. As the 5 00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:19,400 Speaker 1: Department of Homeland Security shutdown continues with no end insight. 6 00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:22,799 Speaker 1: The President is also encouraging Congress to come back to 7 00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:26,760 Speaker 1: Washington to permanently fix this problem and to fund and 8 00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:30,680 Speaker 1: reopen the Department of Homeland Security entirely. That is what 9 00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:33,280 Speaker 1: the White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt said at the 10 00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:36,199 Speaker 1: press briefing. I want you to take a listen to 11 00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:38,280 Speaker 1: part of what she had to say. At the White House. 12 00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:42,400 Speaker 2: Overall morale among TSA staff plummeted as well, all of 13 00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:46,400 Speaker 2: this creating an unacceptable heightened security risk because of the 14 00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:50,200 Speaker 2: Democrat's unwillingness to do their basic job of funding DHS. 15 00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:55,600 Speaker 2: President Trump determined that the circumstances constituted an emergency compromising 16 00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:59,520 Speaker 2: American security. That's why last week he accordingly signed a 17 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:03,960 Speaker 2: president memorandum directing the Secretary of Homeland Security to work 18 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,360 Speaker 2: with the Director of the Office of Management and Budget 19 00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:08,800 Speaker 2: here at the White House to use those funds with 20 00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:13,640 Speaker 2: a reagionable and reasonable and logical nexus to TSA operations 21 00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:17,560 Speaker 2: to provide TSA employees with the compensation and benefits that 22 00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:20,640 Speaker 2: would have accrued to them but for the Democrat led 23 00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:25,080 Speaker 2: DHS shutdown. This bold and necessary action by President Trump 24 00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:29,080 Speaker 2: will ensure our TSA workers receive their hard earned paychecks. 25 00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:31,560 Speaker 2: It should not have come to this point, but President 26 00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:34,360 Speaker 2: Trump will always do what's right by the American people, 27 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:36,399 Speaker 2: and he found a way to do that to get 28 00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:40,680 Speaker 2: TSA paid. Ensuring that these federal workers who perform critical 29 00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:44,400 Speaker 2: public safety responsibilities can feed their families, pay their rent, 30 00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:46,560 Speaker 2: and show up to work is something the President was 31 00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:49,320 Speaker 2: honored to do. But this moment should be an eye 32 00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:52,560 Speaker 2: opening one for the American people. Let's be clear about 33 00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:55,800 Speaker 2: what is happening. Democrat members of Congress are more than 34 00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:58,760 Speaker 2: happy to put your safety at risk because they oppose 35 00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:03,240 Speaker 2: the presidents admit and his administration's efforts to enforce our 36 00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:07,400 Speaker 2: nation's immigration law. Democrats refuse to fund ICE because they 37 00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:10,239 Speaker 2: want millions and millions of illegal aliens to pour into 38 00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:13,399 Speaker 2: the country just like they were under the Biden administration. 39 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:16,760 Speaker 2: They want murderers and rapists and thugs to remain in 40 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:20,520 Speaker 2: your communities rather than be removed by ice and border 41 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:24,040 Speaker 2: patrol agents. The Democrats created this mess. They are the 42 00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:26,919 Speaker 2: reason for long lines at airports and tens of thousands 43 00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:30,720 Speaker 2: of employees going without pay. Once again, President Trump is 44 00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:33,120 Speaker 2: cleaning up their mess because he cares more about the 45 00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:36,959 Speaker 2: American people than destructive, petty partisan politics. 46 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,920 Speaker 1: Now, President Trump recently signed an executive order to pay 47 00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:46,560 Speaker 1: Transportation Security Administration employees who had gone without paychecks since 48 00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:50,560 Speaker 1: the shutdown began in mid February, but Levitt said that 49 00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:54,280 Speaker 1: was not the answer. Quote, the President just can't keep 50 00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:59,480 Speaker 1: signing presidential memorandums and proclamations every time Congress fails to 51 00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:03,040 Speaker 1: do their job. She's absolutely right about that one. Carolin 52 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:06,799 Speaker 1: Levitt said, Democrats are holding our entire country hostage. 53 00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:09,959 Speaker 3: That is also a fact they're picking. 54 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,519 Speaker 1: And choosing which programs and agencies they want a fund 55 00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:16,360 Speaker 1: just because they don't like the administration's policies. And that's 56 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:19,000 Speaker 1: not how Congress is supposed to work, or how funding 57 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 1: is supposed to work. 58 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:20,480 Speaker 3: For that matter. 59 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 1: They voted several times against funding DHS over partisan and 60 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:27,400 Speaker 1: political reasons. That is part of the reason why we 61 00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:30,800 Speaker 1: have the shutdown right now and over the weekend. Things 62 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:34,160 Speaker 1: got even a little stick here when House Republicans rejected 63 00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:39,560 Speaker 1: a bipartisan Senate deal to temporarily fund HS and instead 64 00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:43,680 Speaker 1: past their own funding measure late Friday, extending a week's 65 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:50,200 Speaker 1: long budget standoff that has disrupted travel for so many Americans. Now, 66 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:52,640 Speaker 1: before I get into more of what the House bill says, 67 00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:55,200 Speaker 1: let me talk to you real quick about our incredible 68 00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:58,160 Speaker 1: friends that I want you to get involved with, called 69 00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:01,760 Speaker 1: Patriot Mobile, and the amazing work they're doing to stand 70 00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:05,800 Speaker 1: up for all of our values. Every day, Americans make 71 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:09,440 Speaker 1: choices that shape our country's future, right down to which 72 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:13,280 Speaker 1: cell phone provider we support. Here's what most people don't 73 00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:18,039 Speaker 1: actually realize. Patriot Mobile isn't just a wireless provider. They're 74 00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:22,560 Speaker 1: an activist organization funded by selling top tier cell service. 75 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,800 Speaker 1: They've been on the front lines defending our freedoms long 76 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:28,880 Speaker 1: before it was cool, standing up and the gap when 77 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:34,080 Speaker 1: others wouldn't. The best part is they deliver prioritized premium 78 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:37,640 Speaker 1: service on all three major US networks, giving you the 79 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:41,360 Speaker 1: same or even better coverage, backed by one hundred percent 80 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:46,279 Speaker 1: US based customer support.

All right, So 95 00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:38,200 Speaker 1: let's get back to the funding here for a second. 96 00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:42,880 Speaker 1: The stopgap bill, which proposed funding DHS in full for 97 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:46,160 Speaker 1: eight weeks, that actually passed two thirteen to two oh 98 00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:50,640 Speaker 1: three after Republicans in the lower Chamber refuse to take 99 00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:54,159 Speaker 1: up a Senate pass deal that excluded money from Immigration 100 00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:58,600 Speaker 1: and Customs Enforcements and custom and Border Protection, a funding 101 00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:02,280 Speaker 1: measure that law in the status quo is dead on 102 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 1: arrival in the Senate and Republicans know it. That's what 103 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:09,960 Speaker 1: Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said in a statement, saying, quote, 104 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:14,839 Speaker 1: Democrats will fund critical homeland security functions, but we will 105 00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:18,120 Speaker 1: not give a blank check to Trump's lawless and deadly 106 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:22,479 Speaker 1: immigration militia without reforms. To be clear, that would be 107 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:27,599 Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer saying that ICE agents are deadly militia members, 108 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,640 Speaker 1: not members of our government that we should be proud 109 00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:34,000 Speaker 1: of now. The late night vote came after Speaker of 110 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:37,320 Speaker 1: the House Mike Johnson called the earlier bipartisan Senate bill 111 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:42,279 Speaker 1: a joke for withholding money for the agencies responsible for 112 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:47,039 Speaker 1: carrying out Trump's deportation policies. The Senate immediately went on 113 00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:51,480 Speaker 1: a two week recess after voting to fund DHS, and 114 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:54,080 Speaker 1: that is where President Trump has come back in saying 115 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:57,680 Speaker 1: what are you doing. It's time to get back to work. 116 00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:01,960 Speaker 1: There is a difference between the to individual bodies, There's 117 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:07,360 Speaker 1: no doubt about it. Democrats are also celebrating this. There's 118 00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:10,360 Speaker 1: also some members of Congress who are so angry about this. 119 00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:15,800 Speaker 1: They're saying we shouldn't get paid GOP Representative Cammick and 120 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:17,200 Speaker 1: I want you to hear what she had to say 121 00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:19,280 Speaker 1: on Fox News Channel with Harris Faugner. 122 00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:22,280 Speaker 4: I'm in a Cat Cammick, Republican of the great State 123 00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:26,040 Speaker 4: of Florida, member of the Energy and Commerce and Agricultural Committees. 124 00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:27,920 Speaker 4: Great to see you today. Let's just get to the 125 00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:30,640 Speaker 4: brass tax and please don't be offended by this, but 126 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:33,840 Speaker 4: you'll have all of our money. And the fact that 127 00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:37,320 Speaker 4: Democrats have now gotten to the point where they are 128 00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:40,200 Speaker 4: just dysfunctional, they can't pick us first any of that. 129 00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:42,520 Speaker 4: Is it time to start cutting paychecks now? 130 00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:46,760 Speaker 5: Absolutely, it needs to start with the senators. They should 131 00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:50,160 Speaker 5: not be collecting a paycheck. Which members of Congress, both 132 00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:52,440 Speaker 5: the House and Senate get paid on a monthly basis, 133 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:55,240 Speaker 5: and their check is deposited in the last few days 134 00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:57,840 Speaker 5: of the month. They right now are collecting a paycheck 135 00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:01,760 Speaker 5: while our hardworking men of Home Land Security, from FEMA, Coastguard, 136 00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:05,640 Speaker 5: DHS collectively, and of course TSA, they are not getting 137 00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:08,600 Speaker 5: paid now. To your point, Harris, yes, we do have 138 00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:12,160 Speaker 5: a literacy crisis in this country. But for Pete's sakes, 139 00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,840 Speaker 5: I wish that the Democrats in the Senate would stop 140 00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:18,559 Speaker 5: treating us all like we are morons we can read 141 00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:21,440 Speaker 5: and if they were to read the bill they sent 142 00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:24,880 Speaker 5: over to us, they wanted to withhold the paychecks of 143 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:31,360 Speaker 5: ice of CBP Homeland Security Investigations, which investigates sex crimes 144 00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:34,800 Speaker 5: against children. These folks are out to play politics with 145 00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:37,880 Speaker 5: people's lives and it's disgusting. They should not be getting paid, 146 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:40,760 Speaker 5: certainly not while there are other people who are sleeping 147 00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:44,720 Speaker 5: in their cars and missing paychecks and really scrambling for 148 00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:46,319 Speaker 5: everything that they can do to survive. 149 00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:49,800 Speaker 1: Now as Republicans are trying to figure all of this out, 150 00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:52,319 Speaker 1: and I agree, those members of Congress should not get 151 00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:55,520 Speaker 1: paid while this is happening. The Democrats are trying to 152 00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:58,760 Speaker 1: figure out how to spend this. ABC News is Jonathan 153 00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:02,360 Speaker 1: Carl on Sunday Morning this week asked this question to 154 00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:05,719 Speaker 1: Center Van Holland about what did the Democrats really get 155 00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:07,520 Speaker 1: out of this? And I want you to listen carefully 156 00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:10,280 Speaker 1: to his answer and is he going to now use it? 157 00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:14,160 Speaker 6: So, when the Senate passed that bill, and there was 158 00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:16,800 Speaker 6: that brief moment that looked like, you know, dawn had broken, 159 00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:20,720 Speaker 6: you put out a statement saying that Republicans had quote 160 00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:22,120 Speaker 6: finally relented. 161 00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:25,000 Speaker 7: What did Democrats get out of this. 162 00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:27,000 Speaker 6: Even if that passed, what did you get out of this? 163 00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:28,680 Speaker 6: This DHS shutdown's going. 164 00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:30,240 Speaker 8: On for well over a month. 165 00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:31,440 Speaker 3: What have you gotten for it? 166 00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:34,920 Speaker 7: Well, the issue here, John, is we let people know 167 00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:39,320 Speaker 7: number one, that we want to fully fund TSA. We 168 00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:42,240 Speaker 7: could get rid of these lines at the airports immediately, 169 00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:45,560 Speaker 7: but we also made clear that we're going to demand 170 00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:51,640 Speaker 7: reforms of a lawless ICE operation. After all, TSH agents 171 00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:54,360 Speaker 7: killed two American citizens in Minneapolis. 172 00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:58,199 Speaker 1: So there it is yet again what you have as 173 00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:01,640 Speaker 1: Democrats saying Ice is evil, the Ice of the Gestapo, 174 00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:05,720 Speaker 1: ICE's murderers, Ice are the worst among us. They're not 175 00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:08,760 Speaker 1: backing down from that talking point. And if that means 176 00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,559 Speaker 1: shutting down our government or having you wait in four 177 00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:14,520 Speaker 1: or five hour lines at the airport, and if that 178 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:17,520 Speaker 1: means they think they're getting closer to their victory of 179 00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:23,040 Speaker 1: defunding or dehumanizing ICE, clearly they're willing to do it. 180 00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:27,360 Speaker 1: I want to take you back real quick to March fifteenth. 181 00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:31,760 Speaker 1: You may remember that Michigan synagogue attack that happened. We 182 00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:36,559 Speaker 1: now know that that individual was a hes Blah inspired 183 00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:41,800 Speaker 1: act of terrorism. That synagogue attacker was actually the brother 184 00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:46,360 Speaker 1: of a hes Blah commander. We're now learning from Israel 185 00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:50,120 Speaker 1: and the FBI is confirming that that Michigan synagogue attacked 186 00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:54,439 Speaker 1: her was yes, a terrorist. So all the dots are 187 00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,240 Speaker 1: being connected. So why is the media not talking about 188 00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:00,080 Speaker 1: this for that exact reason. I just explained to you, 189 00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:02,960 Speaker 1: Senator Cruz, and I broke it down even more and 190 00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:04,360 Speaker 1: I want you to hear what he had to say. 191 00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:06,040 Speaker 3: Take a listen, all. 192 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:09,040 Speaker 1: Right, Senator, So let's get to this first big story here, 193 00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:13,200 Speaker 1: and this is one of the ones that concerns me 194 00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:16,120 Speaker 1: so much about what is happening in this country right now. 195 00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:19,439 Speaker 1: We've also seen this happen in Europe, and we are 196 00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:22,520 Speaker 1: now seeing that there are more attacks. We're seeing churches 197 00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:24,520 Speaker 1: that are being burned around the world, and we're now 198 00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:30,160 Speaker 1: seeing this synagogue attacker that attacked on behalf of hes Blah. 199 00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:32,880 Speaker 1: It happened right here in Michigan. We know a lot 200 00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:34,040 Speaker 1: more now than we did before. 201 00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:37,240 Speaker 9: Yeah, you remember when this story broke when the man 202 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:40,880 Speaker 9: drove his truck into the synagogue that was also a school. 203 00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:43,000 Speaker 9: There were over one hundred kids there. He was trying 204 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:45,520 Speaker 9: to kill as many young children as he could, and 205 00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:49,960 Speaker 9: the media coverage They referred to him as Michigan Man. 206 00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:53,000 Speaker 9: It was reminiscent of Maryland Man, the guy who was 207 00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:56,640 Speaker 9: MS thirteen gangbanger and human trafficker. That was just a 208 00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:59,440 Speaker 9: Maryland man who for some reason was deported. No one 209 00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:02,360 Speaker 9: could imagine why. Well, here it was Michigan Man, and 210 00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:06,120 Speaker 9: then they had all this sympathetic coverage. Michigan Man was 211 00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:09,320 Speaker 9: upset that his brother had been killed in the Middle East. 212 00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:12,400 Speaker 9: What they didn't mention is his brother was a commander 213 00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:16,720 Speaker 9: for Hesbela, and so he was a terrorist. So Hesbela 214 00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:20,480 Speaker 9: terrorist in America, unhappy that a different Hesbela terrorist had 215 00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:24,240 Speaker 9: been killed, and so he tried to kill as many children, 216 00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:28,200 Speaker 9: as many Jews as possible. Here are the details. The 217 00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:31,640 Speaker 9: attack earlier this month is from CNN on a synagogue 218 00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:35,520 Speaker 9: in West Bloomfield, Michigan, was a quote Hesbela inspired act 219 00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:40,840 Speaker 9: of terrorism, purposely targeting the Jewish community and the largest 220 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:44,040 Speaker 9: Jewish temple in Michigan, The FBI said a news conference 221 00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:49,120 Speaker 9: on Monday. The assailant, I'man Ghazzali, was a naturalized US 222 00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:52,440 Speaker 9: citizen from Lebanon's now put a pin in that that 223 00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:56,679 Speaker 9: we need to change our vetting for naturalized citizens. Yeah 224 00:12:56,760 --> 00:13:00,840 Speaker 9: he rammed a pickup truck into the synagogue on March twelfth, 225 00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:06,320 Speaker 9: as more than one hundred children were attending school inside. 226 00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:08,560 Speaker 9: After waiting in the synagogue's parking lot for more than 227 00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:12,240 Speaker 9: two hours, authority said, Gazali drove the truck far into 228 00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:15,600 Speaker 9: the building, hitting a security officer before the vehicle became 229 00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:20,080 Speaker 9: wedged in a hallway. Security officers for the synagogue began 230 00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:24,560 Speaker 9: ex changing gunfire with Ghazali, who eventually shot and killed 231 00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:28,280 Speaker 9: himself inside the truck. During the chaos, the truck's engine 232 00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:32,880 Speaker 9: compartment caught fire and caused extension extensive damage to the building. 233 00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:37,920 Speaker 9: The truck was filled with over two thousand dollars of 234 00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:43,040 Speaker 9: commercial grade fireworks and about thirty five gallons of gasoline, 235 00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:48,040 Speaker 9: which he used to enhance the explosion. No one else 236 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:51,760 Speaker 9: was killed. One of the temple's lead security officers was 237 00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:55,000 Speaker 9: injured after being hit by the vehicle. Had he lived, 238 00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:58,120 Speaker 9: he would have been charged with providing material support to Hesbela, 239 00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:02,240 Speaker 9: the Iranian backed terrorist group, and said Jerome Gorgon, the 240 00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:05,920 Speaker 9: US attorney for the Eastern District of Michigan. Gorgan added 241 00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:10,480 Speaker 9: that Gazali was inspired by Hesbelon propaganda to carry out 242 00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:11,000 Speaker 9: the attack. 243 00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:12,560 Speaker 3: Quote. 244 00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:18,720 Speaker 9: This man acted under Hesbela's direction and control. He intended 245 00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:22,760 Speaker 9: to kill others, not just himself. In the days after 246 00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:25,480 Speaker 9: the attack, US official said Gazali was located in federal 247 00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:30,840 Speaker 9: government databases as having connections to quote known or suspected 248 00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:34,520 Speaker 9: terrorists associated with Hesbla. Stopped there for a second, so 249 00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:37,560 Speaker 9: they searched the databases. The databases showed that he had 250 00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:40,360 Speaker 9: connections to known or suspected terrorists. Then why the hell 251 00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:42,200 Speaker 9: was this guy let in the country in the first place. 252 00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:44,880 Speaker 9: Why did they allow him in? Why did they naturalize 253 00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:47,400 Speaker 9: him as a citizen. I have a feeling that information 254 00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:51,200 Speaker 9: in the databases didn't magically appear in the last fifteen months. 255 00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:53,960 Speaker 9: It's been there a long time. It's just prior administrations 256 00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:56,000 Speaker 9: didn't care. We didn't get to the bottom of that. 257 00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:01,160 Speaker 9: A week prior to the attack, where's a Gazali's family 258 00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:04,800 Speaker 9: in Lebanon, including two brothers, were killed in an Israeli 259 00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:07,640 Speaker 9: airstrike as the US and Israel entered its second week 260 00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:10,400 Speaker 9: of conflict with Iran. Now this is where the media 261 00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:13,360 Speaker 9: clutched their pearls. Well, his brother was killed, so naturally 262 00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:15,520 Speaker 9: when your brothers killed. What you do is try to 263 00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:18,720 Speaker 9: murder a hundred kids. That's the normal reaction to that. 264 00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:23,840 Speaker 9: But then here's the killer paragraph that follows the Israeli 265 00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:27,840 Speaker 9: Israeli military said one of the brothers, Ibrahim Mohammad Ghazali, 266 00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:33,400 Speaker 9: was a Hesbela commander in charge of managing weapons operations 267 00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:39,200 Speaker 9: in the Raigning Proxy Group's Botder Unit. Gazali began planning 268 00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:41,880 Speaker 9: for the attack days earlier, so the FBI said, with 269 00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:46,119 Speaker 9: his plans intensifying on March ninth. A review of Gazali's 270 00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:51,480 Speaker 9: online activity dating to January. January was before the war 271 00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:56,000 Speaker 9: in Iran started. YEP showed repeated searches for pro Hesbela 272 00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:59,200 Speaker 9: and Iranian news outlets, as well as videos related to 273 00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:03,640 Speaker 9: gunfire and munition. Beginning March ninth, FBI said he closely 274 00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:07,960 Speaker 9: followed speeches in live coverage involving Hesbelas Secretary Terry General 275 00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:12,840 Speaker 9: Naim Kassem, along with reporting about an Iranian fatwah, a 276 00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:18,280 Speaker 9: religious ruling concerning Islamic law, calling for total jihad against 277 00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:23,480 Speaker 9: the US military. He also researched Jewish cultural education and 278 00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:27,920 Speaker 9: religious centers throughout the Detroit metro area, viewing multiple pages 279 00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:32,120 Speaker 9: of upcoming events at Temple Israel and searched specific terms 280 00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:36,240 Speaker 9: and phrases such as, quote the largest gathering of Israelis 281 00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:42,800 Speaker 9: in Michigan Orthodox synagogues and Israelis near me. That day, 282 00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:46,240 Speaker 9: after two people declined to sell him a weapon, Gazali 283 00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:49,600 Speaker 9: bought an AR fifteen style rifle, ten magazines at about 284 00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:52,360 Speaker 9: three hundred rounds of ammunition at a gun store in 285 00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:55,680 Speaker 9: Dearborn Heights. Runyon said, Now, it's interesting that two stores 286 00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:57,880 Speaker 9: declined to sell it to him, and yet the one 287 00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:00,600 Speaker 9: in deer Born was willing to. I think that's something else. 288 00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:01,640 Speaker 9: You've owned a gun store. 289 00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:04,200 Speaker 1: I was gonna say that is a massive red flag. 290 00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:08,400 Speaker 1: Like if you turn down somebody and there's two stores 291 00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:11,600 Speaker 1: they clearly like were doing their jobs, by the way 292 00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:13,880 Speaker 1: a gun stores, and say. 293 00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:15,520 Speaker 9: So, tell us as someone who's owned a gun store, 294 00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:17,520 Speaker 9: like this guy goes in and says, I want to 295 00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:20,840 Speaker 9: buy an AR, why would a gun store say no. 296 00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:22,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, there's a couple of reasons. 297 00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:24,800 Speaker 1: One, you profile and you can see if someone seems 298 00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:28,919 Speaker 1: angry or agitated. You can Also you're supposed to be 299 00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:31,520 Speaker 1: looking to see if an individual you think is doing 300 00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:35,080 Speaker 1: a straw purchase, which means they're buying for someone else illegally. 301 00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:37,800 Speaker 1: You'll see that happen a lot of times with wives 302 00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:39,879 Speaker 1: that will come in their husband would be a felon, 303 00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:42,719 Speaker 1: or someone that's disqualified from only a weapon, or a 304 00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:45,439 Speaker 1: friend will come in. You'll see people that walk in 305 00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:47,480 Speaker 1: the store, they'll look at a gun, they'll take a 306 00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:50,160 Speaker 1: picture of it, they'll leave, and then literally thirty seconds later, 307 00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:52,400 Speaker 1: a minute later, someone comes in and tries to buy 308 00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:54,960 Speaker 1: the exact gun that you just showed to someone else. Like, 309 00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:58,160 Speaker 1: there's multiple things that you look for here, but then 310 00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:01,520 Speaker 1: there's also conversations if if you see that someone comes 311 00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:03,240 Speaker 1: in and by the way, if you believe that they're 312 00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:06,080 Speaker 1: drunk or high or on some sort of drug, you 313 00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:06,840 Speaker 1: can refuse. 314 00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:08,880 Speaker 3: And if you just have a really bad. 315 00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:12,440 Speaker 1: Feeling it's something doesn't feel right, you can say I'm 316 00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:14,159 Speaker 1: not gonna sell you a gun, and you have the 317 00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:16,600 Speaker 1: rise of store owner to do that. But when you 318 00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:20,440 Speaker 1: hear that two gun stores did this, and most yeah, 319 00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:23,000 Speaker 1: that says a lot because something there I would love 320 00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:26,720 Speaker 1: to see and go back and here because I'm sure 321 00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:27,240 Speaker 1: there's going to. 322 00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:29,040 Speaker 3: Be an interview. What was it? 323 00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:31,360 Speaker 1: And then were the authorities alerted? To this, and yet 324 00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:32,960 Speaker 1: a third store was able to sell them the gun. 325 00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:35,199 Speaker 1: They didn't check in on that afterwards. That also is 326 00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:35,960 Speaker 1: very concerning. 327 00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:39,480 Speaker 9: Yeah, the story continues. He practiced shooting the new weapon 328 00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:43,080 Speaker 9: the next day and bought the fireworks. An order of 329 00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:46,480 Speaker 9: dozens of water containers arrived on the eleventh day before 330 00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:49,679 Speaker 9: the attack, and he immediately started filling them with gasoline, 331 00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:51,919 Speaker 9: making four trips to gas stations so he would not 332 00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:56,520 Speaker 9: arouse suspicion. He also bought two torchlighters, which authorities believed 333 00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:59,600 Speaker 9: he used to set his truck on fire. On the 334 00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:02,879 Speaker 9: day of the attack, Gazali sent his sister, who authorities 335 00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:08,160 Speaker 9: believe lives in Lebanon, numerous videos and messages quote affirming 336 00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:12,600 Speaker 9: his Hesbela inspired ideology. Ten minutes before he drove his 337 00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:16,000 Speaker 9: truck into the synagogue, Gazali sent his sister two videos 338 00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:19,520 Speaker 9: in Arabic indicating that he was at the largest gathering 339 00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:23,199 Speaker 9: of Israelis in the state of Michigan, had booby trapped 340 00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:26,320 Speaker 9: his car, and would forcibly enter and start shooting people. 341 00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:30,080 Speaker 9: The FBI said, God willing, I will kill as many 342 00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:33,160 Speaker 9: of them as I possibly can. Gazali recorded himself saying 343 00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:38,000 Speaker 9: according to Runyan. Look, these are the kind of threats 344 00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:41,919 Speaker 9: we're facing. By the way, this podcast covered when the 345 00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:46,879 Speaker 9: Iranian fotwell went out, and we have covered at length 346 00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:51,040 Speaker 9: the radical Islamic terrorists that the Biden administration allowed to 347 00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:54,760 Speaker 9: flood into this country and the lack of vetting, and 348 00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:58,080 Speaker 9: tragically all of this happened at the same time we 349 00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:01,600 Speaker 9: had the Department of Homeland Security show down because the 350 00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:04,960 Speaker 9: Democrats have defunded it. And I'm sorry to say, this 351 00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:07,800 Speaker 9: guy is not the last radical Islamic terrorist left in 352 00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:11,680 Speaker 9: the country, and yet Senate Democrats do not seem to 353 00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:12,119 Speaker 9: care at all. 354 00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:14,400 Speaker 1: Well, let's go back in time just a little bit 355 00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:17,320 Speaker 1: to remind people this was part of what President Trump 356 00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:19,359 Speaker 1: had said we need to do, which was to go 357 00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:22,920 Speaker 1: back and to vet Can you give an update on that? 358 00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:25,520 Speaker 1: And as some of that vetting stop because of DHS 359 00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:28,280 Speaker 1: lack of funding and all these fights and the government 360 00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:29,720 Speaker 1: shutdowns that have happened. 361 00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:32,720 Speaker 9: Well, some of that vetting would be happening at the 362 00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:35,199 Speaker 9: State Department, some of it would be happening at DHS, 363 00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:38,159 Speaker 9: and so I don't know the status of that vetting. 364 00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:40,879 Speaker 9: We have not gotten a report. We obviously have a 365 00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:44,119 Speaker 9: brand new Secretary of Homeland Security, Mark Wayne Mullen. By 366 00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:47,280 Speaker 9: the way, I will point out every Democrat but two 367 00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:50,080 Speaker 9: voted against confirming him. So their position is they don't 368 00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:52,600 Speaker 9: want a secretary of DHS. And by the way, they 369 00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:54,960 Speaker 9: all like Mark Wayne. He was a colleague in the Senate. 370 00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:55,560 Speaker 5: They knew him. 371 00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:57,440 Speaker 9: He was well liked on both sides of the island. 372 00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:01,960 Speaker 9: It was not personal. They wouldn't vote Confirmative Bugs Bunny 373 00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:06,919 Speaker 9: as head of DHS. Their party is the open borders party. 374 00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:11,560 Speaker 9: Anyone who has focused on securing the border Today's Democrats oppose. 375 00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:15,679 Speaker 1: Over the last thirty days, the United States and Israel 376 00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:19,520 Speaker 1: have carried out more than eleven thousand strikes against Iran 377 00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:23,800 Speaker 1: military infrastructure. We're now learning from the White House translation 378 00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:28,680 Speaker 1: this mission the President is doing is working. The strikes 379 00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:33,639 Speaker 1: have been against Iran's military infrastructure that include missile systems, 380 00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:39,960 Speaker 1: naval assets, weapons depots, and systemically dismantling the regime's ability 381 00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:43,280 Speaker 1: to threaten the region and more importantly, threaten US. The 382 00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:48,439 Speaker 1: US and now President Trump is signaling very clearly that 383 00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:53,080 Speaker 1: this war is nearing its end. He said this directly, 384 00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:57,440 Speaker 1: this won't last much longer. Why because Iran has been, 385 00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:03,920 Speaker 1: in his words, significantly debilitated. Their military capability has been crippled, 386 00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:07,680 Speaker 1: their ability to launch sustained attacks has been severely reduced, 387 00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:12,600 Speaker 1: their leverage gone. And now because of the overwhelming show 388 00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:15,760 Speaker 1: of force, something else is happening behind the scenes that 389 00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:18,679 Speaker 1: matters just as much as the bombs and the strikes. 390 00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:23,000 Speaker 1: Iran is really feeling the pressure. The White House is 391 00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:27,960 Speaker 1: now saying negotiations are progressing quickly. That is something that 392 00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:30,760 Speaker 1: the White House has said that the media can't believe, 393 00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:34,960 Speaker 1: and Democrats don't want you to believe because they want 394 00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:37,439 Speaker 1: this to be a quagmire. They want this to be 395 00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:40,080 Speaker 1: a never ending war. They want to use it politically 396 00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:43,760 Speaker 1: to hurt President Donald Trump. Now, after weeks of decisive 397 00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:48,320 Speaker 1: military action, the regime, the chance death to America is 398 00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:50,280 Speaker 1: now signaling they may be willing to come. 399 00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:50,840 Speaker 3: To the table. 400 00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:53,919 Speaker 1: That doesn't happen, by the way, by accident, and it 401 00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:57,600 Speaker 1: doesn't happen by weakness from President Trump either. This happens 402 00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:01,240 Speaker 1: because Donald Trump made it clear United States while he's 403 00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:05,560 Speaker 1: in charge, leads through strength, not through appeasement or sending 404 00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:10,200 Speaker 1: pallats of cash like the Obama administration did. And President 405 00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:13,919 Speaker 1: Trump is also making it clear there is a deadline. 406 00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:18,359 Speaker 1: I Ran now has until early April to comply, and 407 00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:20,480 Speaker 1: if they don't, the President has also made it very 408 00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:24,879 Speaker 1: clear what comes next will be even more devastating. Now 409 00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:27,679 Speaker 1: let's talk about the strategy a little bit more, because 410 00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:30,280 Speaker 1: this is where this administration is drawing a very sharp 411 00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:34,160 Speaker 1: contrast to the past. Number one, they've said they are 412 00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:37,200 Speaker 1: not in favor of an endless war. And number two, 413 00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:40,080 Speaker 1: the Trump administration has made it clear this is not 414 00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:43,960 Speaker 1: nation building. This is decisive action, the White House says, 415 00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:48,840 Speaker 1: with a clear objective to eliminate the threat, force a resolution, 416 00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:51,840 Speaker 1: and then get the hell out. In fact, President Trump 417 00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:54,560 Speaker 1: is already saying that once a job is done, the 418 00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:57,800 Speaker 1: US can step back and even the Strait of Hormuz, 419 00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:00,000 Speaker 1: one of the most critical shipping lanes in the world, 420 00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:05,000 Speaker 1: we'll stabilize once Iran backs down. That's called understanding leverage, 421 00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:09,119 Speaker 1: and that's called understanding power as well. Now let's also 422 00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:12,800 Speaker 1: not forget this. Israel is fully aligned with a strategy. 423 00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:16,160 Speaker 1: They see this moment for what it is a historic 424 00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:19,879 Speaker 1: opportunity to eliminate what they've called next essential threat to them, 425 00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:23,680 Speaker 1: and together the US and Israel now have total air 426 00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:28,320 Speaker 1: superiority and Iran's ability to project power is collapsing in 427 00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:32,000 Speaker 1: real time. Even Israel is starting to put timelines on 428 00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:35,560 Speaker 1: their own action, saying they believe that they have about 429 00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:39,320 Speaker 1: two more weeks of strikes and then they will probably 430 00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:43,800 Speaker 1: end up wrapping things up. Israel even said in another 431 00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:47,879 Speaker 1: statement today they are prepared for strikes for several weeks 432 00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:51,680 Speaker 1: to come, but they understand that the window is also closing, 433 00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:56,560 Speaker 1: and this was not about actual invasion, Israeli's military spokesman 434 00:24:56,720 --> 00:25:00,520 Speaker 1: saying on Tuesday that Israel is prepared to keep operating 435 00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:04,119 Speaker 1: for several weeks to come. The Prime Minister hinted that 436 00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:07,560 Speaker 1: the war against Iran was definitely beyond the halfway point, 437 00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:10,520 Speaker 1: as it has now entered its fifth week. We are 438 00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:13,159 Speaker 1: prepared to keep operating for weeks to come if need be. 439 00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:16,040 Speaker 1: We have the targets for that, the munitions for that, 440 00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:19,040 Speaker 1: demand power for that, and it's up to the leadership 441 00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:23,280 Speaker 1: to decide, is what was said from Israeli's government. The 442 00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:26,080 Speaker 1: Israeli Defense Force said on Tuesday that all of it's 443 00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:29,920 Speaker 1: critical and essential targets in Iran will have been destroyed 444 00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:34,879 Speaker 1: by Passover, which begins on Wednesday. The IDF to find 445 00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:40,280 Speaker 1: critical targets as Iranian weapons that directly threaten Israel, including 446 00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:44,439 Speaker 1: key elements of its nuclear program, while essential quote unquote 447 00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:48,959 Speaker 1: targets are key elements of the Iranian military industrial complex 448 00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:52,800 Speaker 1: that do not pose an imminent threat by themselves, such 449 00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:57,160 Speaker 1: as satellite launch facilities. So you add all this together, 450 00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:00,479 Speaker 1: and critical and essential targets make up about thirty to 451 00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:04,719 Speaker 1: forty percent of the bombing objectives set by Israeli leadership 452 00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:08,639 Speaker 1: before the operation began. The IDF said it would be 453 00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:12,960 Speaker 1: possible to declare victory after eliminating the remaining critical and 454 00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:16,640 Speaker 1: essential targets, but it would prefer to continue degrading Iran's 455 00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:21,760 Speaker 1: military industrial complex to weaken the regime. This goal seems 456 00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:25,159 Speaker 1: consistent with Israel's hint that a few more weeks of 457 00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:30,399 Speaker 1: air strikes are obviously being planned. Israeli warplane struck major 458 00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:34,400 Speaker 1: rane and weapons factories in Tehran over the weekend, including 459 00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:39,800 Speaker 1: plants that manufacture key ballistic missile components and drone engines 460 00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:42,840 Speaker 1: as well. The IDF said it was also able to 461 00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:47,879 Speaker 1: destroy several of Iran's temporary command centers, eliminating high ranking 462 00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:51,200 Speaker 1: officers who were inside, as well as some of Iran's 463 00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:55,639 Speaker 1: remaining anti air weaponry. On Friday, the IDF set a 464 00:26:55,680 --> 00:27:00,439 Speaker 1: massive attack involving over fifty warplanes, inflicted severe damage on 465 00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:05,159 Speaker 1: their heavy water reactor and an uranium enrichment facility that 466 00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:10,240 Speaker 1: produced yellow cake uranium powder for nuclear fuel. Netnyahu even 467 00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:13,800 Speaker 1: said on Newsmax on Monday that the operation in Iran 468 00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:16,520 Speaker 1: is beyond the halfway point in terms of mission success, 469 00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:20,040 Speaker 1: although he did not say or wish to put a 470 00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:22,359 Speaker 1: schedule on the remainder of the war. 471 00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:26,080 Speaker 3: We've already degraded their missile capabilities. 472 00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:29,920 Speaker 1: Destroyed factories, and eliminated key nuclear scientists, he noted, praising 473 00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:33,160 Speaker 1: the steady progress of the mission so far. 474 00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:36,840 Speaker 8: We're into this war just over a month now. You're 475 00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:41,879 Speaker 8: the war Prime Minister, and I think i'd like to 476 00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:45,680 Speaker 8: understand what you feel you've achieved Israel in the United 477 00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:49,560 Speaker 8: States working together so far in this war, and when 478 00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:52,040 Speaker 8: do you think we might see light at the end 479 00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:53,920 Speaker 8: of the tunnel mission accomplished. 480 00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:57,119 Speaker 10: Look, if you remember what happened before the war, Iran 481 00:27:57,280 --> 00:27:59,560 Speaker 10: was the great bully of the Middle East and the world. 482 00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:06,000 Speaker 10: It was the prime sponsor of state terrorism across many continents, 483 00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:09,639 Speaker 10: including in the Western hemisphere, including by the way, with 484 00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:14,040 Speaker 10: Venezuela and with others. And they killed and named more 485 00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:17,320 Speaker 10: Americans than any other force in recent decades. Thousands and 486 00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:21,960 Speaker 10: thousands killed and maimed in Afghanistan by Iranian IED's. They 487 00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:25,000 Speaker 10: bombed your embassies. They tried to kill President Trump twice 488 00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:28,479 Speaker 10: or so, trying to kill them. Most importantly is they 489 00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:33,399 Speaker 10: chant death to America. They also say death to Israel. 490 00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:37,920 Speaker 10: But they say America is the great Satan, their religious zealots, 491 00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:42,040 Speaker 10: and they have to wipe out Western culture led by America, 492 00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:45,600 Speaker 10: and Israel is considered the little Satan because we're just 493 00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:47,960 Speaker 10: standing in their way of conquering the Middle East, which 494 00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:52,960 Speaker 10: is their preliminary step of getting to America and hitting America. 495 00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:56,120 Speaker 10: So this is a regime that has been targeting America 496 00:28:56,200 --> 00:29:00,320 Speaker 10: for forty seven years. It's their rezone debt, it's the 497 00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:05,760 Speaker 10: reason for being They're completely you know, ideological fanatics who 498 00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:10,000 Speaker 10: are not necessarily responsive to you know, the careful calculation 499 00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:12,560 Speaker 10: of costs and benefit. So they do things that other 500 00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:15,920 Speaker 10: countries don't do. You have countries that are adversarial to you, 501 00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:20,120 Speaker 10: But I don't hear North Korea chanting death to America. 502 00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:23,600 Speaker 10: I don't hear China chanting both Korea. I don't hear Russia. 503 00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:26,200 Speaker 10: You know, these are all countries which you have which 504 00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:30,480 Speaker 10: are adversarial to you, but they're not seized by this fanaticism. 505 00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:34,480 Speaker 10: But Iran is so. Iran wants to develop nuclear weapons 506 00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:36,920 Speaker 10: and the means to deliver them to every American city. 507 00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:39,480 Speaker 10: And this is what this is about. Preventing them from 508 00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:46,880 Speaker 10: having this intercontinental ballistic missiles with nuclear weapons to tip them, 509 00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:50,200 Speaker 10: which could threaten the life of every American. That's why 510 00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:53,320 Speaker 10: President Trump chose to act to prevent them from doing this. 511 00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:56,600 Speaker 1: Now you can obviously hear they're from ben Renette Yahoo 512 00:29:56,800 --> 00:29:59,600 Speaker 1: that he understands he has a mission that he's trying 513 00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:01,920 Speaker 1: to count. That mission is a little bit different than 514 00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:04,720 Speaker 1: the US's mission. It may take a little bit longer 515 00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:06,080 Speaker 1: for him to be able to do what he needs 516 00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:09,000 Speaker 1: to do to protect his people, and clearly the President 517 00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:12,400 Speaker 1: understands that. What's also interesting is what we said earlier 518 00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:15,200 Speaker 1: today on Fox News Channel. Take a listen to Brian 519 00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:19,520 Speaker 1: mask He's the Republican from Florida, the House Foreign Affairs Chairman, 520 00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:21,560 Speaker 1: and this is what he had to say about what's 521 00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:24,320 Speaker 1: happening not only on Wall Street, but also the price 522 00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:26,960 Speaker 1: of crude oil and the straight of Horneuz, as well 523 00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:29,640 Speaker 1: as Donald Trump's outline for what he's trying to do. 524 00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:32,360 Speaker 11: So let's bring in now our House Foreign Affairs Committee 525 00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:36,480 Speaker 11: Chairman Florida Republican Brian mast Welcome to you, sir. First, 526 00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:38,160 Speaker 11: I want to ask you about the breaking news that 527 00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:41,560 Speaker 11: seems to be sending markets much much higher at this moment. 528 00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:44,960 Speaker 11: The Dow up nine hundred and twenty points. It's a 529 00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:47,400 Speaker 11: big turnaround for where it was earlier today, and it 530 00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:50,840 Speaker 11: seems to be hinging on this report to reports, one 531 00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:53,080 Speaker 11: from the Wall Street Journal, one from the New York Post. First, 532 00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:56,200 Speaker 11: the Wall Street Journal reporting that President Trump is telling 533 00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:59,840 Speaker 11: aids reportedly that he's willing to end the war with 534 00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:03,880 Speaker 11: and out fully reopening the Strait of Horrormus. The concern, 535 00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:07,720 Speaker 11: apparently from the President is that this would push the 536 00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:11,320 Speaker 11: epic Theory operation past its six week deadline. I want 537 00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:13,160 Speaker 11: to get your thoughts and your reaction first to that. 538 00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:16,440 Speaker 12: A couple of reactions. Just number one, the President had 539 00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:18,560 Speaker 12: outlined a goal from the beginning. He's trying to stay 540 00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:21,560 Speaker 12: within the parameters of what he outlined. Number two, you have, 541 00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:24,040 Speaker 12: of course golf partners in the golf partners in the 542 00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:27,240 Speaker 12: region that are unwilling to see the Straits of Horrormuz 543 00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:30,160 Speaker 12: be this toll road for around where they can simply 544 00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:32,800 Speaker 12: charge for anything that goes in or out of there. 545 00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:34,959 Speaker 12: They're not going to allow that to take place. And 546 00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:38,400 Speaker 12: so there's conversations, debate everything going on with that as well. 547 00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:41,480 Speaker 12: And if the United States accomplishes its mission of destroying 548 00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:44,920 Speaker 12: every single piece of Iranian military hardware, the drones, the Navy, 549 00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:47,840 Speaker 12: the air force, the ballistic missiles, everything that can reach 550 00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:50,080 Speaker 12: out and touch us, as has been our goal, then 551 00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:52,760 Speaker 12: we've essentially controlled the straits in the way that we 552 00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:55,160 Speaker 12: decided from the onset that we wanted to control this. 553 00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:58,600 Speaker 1: It is very clear the Wall Street and also the 554 00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:01,479 Speaker 1: rest of the world is reacting to President Donald Trump 555 00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:04,080 Speaker 1: making it very clear he does not believe this war 556 00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:07,280 Speaker 1: is going to last that much longer. He also believes 557 00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:11,280 Speaker 1: that we are accomplishing our mission, and that is about 558 00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:15,200 Speaker 1: safety and security. We'll see what happens in the days ahead, 559 00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:17,680 Speaker 1: and we'll cover it all for you. Don't forget to 560 00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:19,760 Speaker 1: share this podcast.
