Tell us what you expect today. It's been 32 00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,679 Speaker 1: over a month now, started February twenty eight. Today's March. 33 00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:42,640 Speaker 1: What is today, March thirty first, So it's been about 34 00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:43,720 Speaker 1: a month. It's been a month. 35 00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:46,840 Speaker 6: Yeah, well, thank you so much for having me, and yes, 36 00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:51,320 Speaker 6: I'm very anxious to hear this briefing and understand the 37 00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:54,440 Speaker 6: latest update on where we are. I think we're continuing 38 00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:58,720 Speaker 6: to see our American troops perform at incredible levels. I 39 00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:01,560 Speaker 6: think they're meeting the goal of taking out these missiles, 40 00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:05,280 Speaker 6: which were absolutely critical. I think that they're taking out 41 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:09,880 Speaker 6: the ability for Iran to make these missiles. That's a 42 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:14,079 Speaker 6: very important aspect of this conflict that we've been involved in. 43 00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:16,679 Speaker 6: But I also think it's important that the President has 44 00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:19,960 Speaker 6: made a priority that they've got to keep the straight 45 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:23,680 Speaker 6: of hormones open. I think that's absolutely critical. I assume 46 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:25,880 Speaker 6: that could very well, be what we're going to hear 47 00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:28,880 Speaker 6: a little bit about today, and about the Marines and 48 00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:32,600 Speaker 6: eighty second Airborne here in North Carolina that have made 49 00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:36,560 Speaker 6: their way to that area. So I think we should 50 00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,960 Speaker 6: be able to hear some incredible information today about what's happening. 51 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:44,320 Speaker 7: Representative Harris absolutely the Straight of Hormoz with oil at 52 00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:47,359 Speaker 7: one hundred dollars a barrel. We have so many people 53 00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:50,480 Speaker 7: that are concerned about the price of gas and it's 54 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,959 Speaker 7: so important. But it's interesting with the Strait of Hormoz 55 00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:59,120 Speaker 7: because you have countries certainly in Europe that are really 56 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:02,400 Speaker 7: depending on this oil and we, as the United States, 57 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:06,280 Speaker 7: could actually pull away. Why is it so important for 58 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:08,920 Speaker 7: us to be focused on that area. 59 00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,359 Speaker 6: Well, I think it's important for us to make sure 60 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:15,920 Speaker 6: that we are able to keep things moving here right now. 61 00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:18,600 Speaker 6: My farmers, for instance, here in the eighth District of 62 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:22,240 Speaker 6: North Carolina are really really dealing with this issue. A 63 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:26,000 Speaker 6: fertilizer and being able to get shipments from over there 64 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 6: are going to be absolutely critical to the corn crop 65 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:31,840 Speaker 6: that all of those crops are being planted right now, 66 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,920 Speaker 6: and that becomes a major issue as well. So we've 67 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:38,480 Speaker 6: got to keep the Straight open President's been working over 68 00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:41,800 Speaker 6: time to try to get other countries in Europe to 69 00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:44,880 Speaker 6: work with us to make sure that that strait remains open. 70 00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:48,160 Speaker 6: So it's important to many aspects of our country, not 71 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:50,640 Speaker 6: only the oil, but when we think about the fertilizer 72 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:53,080 Speaker 6: and the role that it plays in farming, that's an 73 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:54,360 Speaker 6: important issue as well. 74 00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:59,520 Speaker 5: Congressman Harris, we appreciate you sticking around for a couple 75 00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,040 Speaker 5: of minutes to talk to us here as we prepare 76 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,560 Speaker 5: to hear from Secretary of War Pete Hankes Seth. 77 00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:05,120 Speaker 3: Here's alive. 78 00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,960 Speaker 5: Look, ladies and gentlemen of the podium at the Pentagon. 79 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:11,720 Speaker 5: We're expecting the Secretary to arrive here in short order, 80 00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,320 Speaker 5: also the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. We're 81 00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:18,000 Speaker 5: going to continue the conversation with David and Alison here 82 00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:21,320 Speaker 5: until they arrive. David, one of the bigger questions that 83 00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:25,200 Speaker 5: I think many Americans want answer today is the prospect 84 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:27,839 Speaker 5: of boots on the ground and however that may look, 85 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 5: if and when it does happen. You just heard the 86 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:34,359 Speaker 5: Congressman mentioned that the eighty second Airborne out of Fort Bragg, 87 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:36,680 Speaker 5: North Carolina have already been deployed. Of course, we know 88 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,839 Speaker 5: that thousands of Marines are already in what's called theater, 89 00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:43,279 Speaker 5: that's the military term. They're in the area preparing for 90 00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:44,440 Speaker 5: potential deployment. 91 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:46,599 Speaker 3: I think for many on. 92 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,920 Speaker 5: Either side of the aisle, that is the big outstanding question. 93 00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:52,640 Speaker 3: Will there be boots on the ground, and that's the concern. 94 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:56,479 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a two step process. You bring the boots 95 00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,440 Speaker 1: to the ground, which is what the President has already done, 96 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:01,159 Speaker 1: so he's commit. I think we're about to see this. 97 00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:03,440 Speaker 1: How to take a look at my Yeah, here we comes. 98 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:05,800 Speaker 1: This is the Secretary of War. We'll get to my 99 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:09,160 Speaker 1: comments later. These are more important. Here's a secretary of war. 100 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:23,440 Speaker 8: Well, over the weekend, I had the opportunity to visit 101 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:28,599 Speaker 8: our troops fighting in Operation Epic Fury. We were in 102 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 8: the ground or on the ground, excuse me, incentcom on 103 00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:36,240 Speaker 8: Saturday for about half the day for reasons of operational security, 104 00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 8: so those troops are not targeted. The places and bases 105 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:46,039 Speaker 8: will not be named. Suffice it to say the trip 106 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:49,239 Speaker 8: was an honor. I had a chance to bear witness 107 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:55,440 Speaker 8: and I witnessed the best of America. I witnessed warriors, 108 00:05:56,400 --> 00:06:01,159 Speaker 8: a brotherhood of men and women, warriors all active duty, 109 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:04,320 Speaker 8: Guard and Reserve, united in their love for each other, 110 00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:09,279 Speaker 8: their shared purpose, and their commitment to the mission. I 111 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:14,560 Speaker 8: witnessed sheer competency. I watched a private first class confidently 112 00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:18,240 Speaker 8: calling out an enemy missile trajectory to a room full 113 00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:21,760 Speaker 8: of officers. Everyone focused. The room was locked in. Two 114 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:27,039 Speaker 8: enemy missiles successfully shot down. I spoke to Air Force 115 00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:30,600 Speaker 8: and Navy pilots on the flight line, who every day 116 00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:35,080 Speaker 8: both deliver bombs deep into Iran, but also shoot down 117 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:40,680 Speaker 8: drones defending their base. Many had just returned from the 118 00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:44,440 Speaker 8: skies of Iran and Tehran. I put on a headset 119 00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:48,200 Speaker 8: and spoke to one crew in the cockpit, locked and 120 00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:54,160 Speaker 8: loaded each and every day. I witnessed ingenuity American ingenuity. 121 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:56,800 Speaker 8: I met the young Army officer who figured out how 122 00:06:56,839 --> 00:07:01,719 Speaker 8: to neutralize maneuvering enemy missiles, saving countless life. His commander 123 00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:06,200 Speaker 8: confirmed that the whoops and cheers erupted in the tactical 124 00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:10,200 Speaker 8: operation center when his new approach was first successful. I 125 00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:13,520 Speaker 8: met the Air Force intel analyst who refines target packages 126 00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:17,560 Speaker 8: faster than the enemy can adapt. I actually gave him 127 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:20,360 Speaker 8: my card and told him to keep me posted on 128 00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:24,520 Speaker 8: the ground truth. I did the same with his boss, 129 00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:30,320 Speaker 8: a colonel with a heart the size of Texas and 130 00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,240 Speaker 8: a beautiful deployment mustache to match. 131 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:36,440 Speaker 9: I witnessed lethality. 132 00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:40,640 Speaker 8: I met a junior airman as the sun was going 133 00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:43,840 Speaker 8: down and a chill was setting on the tarmac, who 134 00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:47,800 Speaker 8: when asked what they needed, she simply looked up at 135 00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:51,600 Speaker 8: me with a sly smile on her face and said, 136 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,600 Speaker 8: more bombs, sir, and bigger bombs. 137 00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,120 Speaker 9: We will happily oblige her. 138 00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:02,920 Speaker 8: I met the Army targeting team who found and sunk 139 00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:06,200 Speaker 8: the pride and joy of the Iranian Navy. The fighting 140 00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:10,720 Speaker 8: position plastered with images of sunken enemy ships, and I 141 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:15,840 Speaker 8: witnessed urgency right when we landed. Another C seventeen landed 142 00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:20,440 Speaker 8: just minutes after us, and within thirty seconds of the 143 00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:22,680 Speaker 8: aircraft coming to a full stop, a team on the 144 00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:26,600 Speaker 8: ground pulled up and the cargo was being uploaded wartime 145 00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:31,280 Speaker 8: speed to a man and to a woman on the ground. 146 00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:33,800 Speaker 8: In the air on the flight line and in the 147 00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:40,240 Speaker 8: talk I heard we want everything faster, higher op tempo, 148 00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:46,199 Speaker 8: wartime speed. The feeling was the exact opposite of the 149 00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:49,120 Speaker 8: rotational units year after year in the wars in Iraq 150 00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:50,880 Speaker 8: and Afghanistan that were so familiar with. 151 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:53,400 Speaker 9: In those wars, it was always about. 152 00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:56,559 Speaker 8: The next rotation, never knowing when the mission would end 153 00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:59,960 Speaker 8: or exactly what the mission was year after year. 154 00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:03,040 Speaker 9: Not with epic fury. 155 00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:07,320 Speaker 8: I witnessed urgency to finish the job, urgency to achieve 156 00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:11,640 Speaker 8: mission success, not looking at the next rotation, only moving 157 00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:15,360 Speaker 8: as fast as possible to win. I got a chance 158 00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:19,720 Speaker 8: to troop the line to witness first hand what we 159 00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:23,320 Speaker 8: already know is true. Spoke to all ranks and all services, 160 00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:25,679 Speaker 8: none of whom knew we were coming. It was not 161 00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:30,280 Speaker 8: rehearsed or scripted. Sometimes we just wandered. What I witnessed 162 00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:35,480 Speaker 8: was motivation. It was sheer, mission focus. It was the 163 00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:40,000 Speaker 8: American warrior unleashed. It was the kind of war fighting 164 00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:43,560 Speaker 8: American spirit that comes with a clear mission against a 165 00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:47,960 Speaker 8: determined enemy. A crew chief we flew with summed it 166 00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:51,000 Speaker 8: up nicely. He said, it's been a busy few weeks, sir, 167 00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:54,199 Speaker 8: tough stuff, but I'm so honored to be called up. 168 00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:58,160 Speaker 8: This fight is long overdue. We need to address it 169 00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:02,800 Speaker 8: for our kids. We cannot pass the buck. Please thank 170 00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:07,600 Speaker 8: the President from US. I heard that time and time again. 171 00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:12,160 Speaker 8: I asked each young American, what do you need? And 172 00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:16,160 Speaker 8: nobody said better equipment, nobody said more comfortable living conditions, 173 00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:20,040 Speaker 8: nobody said send me home. Well, of course, eventually we 174 00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:21,000 Speaker 8: want all those things. 175 00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:21,720 Speaker 9: They do too. 176 00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:27,000 Speaker 8: But what those Americans said to me, young and old, 177 00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:31,640 Speaker 8: officer and NCO, male and female, black and white, was 178 00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:36,800 Speaker 8: let's finish the mission. Get us even more bombs, bigger bombs, 179 00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:41,880 Speaker 8: more targets, let us finish this. In fact, Admiral Cooper 180 00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:45,280 Speaker 8: noted this morning that the three Air Force captains shot 181 00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:48,760 Speaker 8: down by Kuwaiti friendly fire early in the fight weeks ago, 182 00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:54,480 Speaker 8: they never left the theater. All dropped bombs over Tehran 183 00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:59,840 Speaker 8: last night. These men and women live the Iranian threat 184 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,600 Speaker 8: every day, incoming missiles and drones, and know. 185 00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:04,839 Speaker 9: What a world looks like, what the world would look like. 186 00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:08,160 Speaker 8: If Iran had the most dangerous weapons in the world, 187 00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:12,080 Speaker 8: a nuclear weapon. As President Trump has said time and 188 00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:15,120 Speaker 8: time again for years and in this administration, Iran cannot 189 00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:19,400 Speaker 8: have a nuclear bomb, and they won't. These troops, they 190 00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:22,040 Speaker 8: want to finish this fight for their kids and their grandkids. 191 00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:28,120 Speaker 8: This is about history, This is about legacy. Success matters, 192 00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:33,600 Speaker 8: and because of this President and these Americans We're closer 193 00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:37,160 Speaker 8: than ever before to winning. President Trump is doing what 194 00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:42,000 Speaker 8: no other president had the guts to do. Previous presidents 195 00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:47,760 Speaker 8: were all talk. He's all action on the battlefield. Because 196 00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:51,480 Speaker 8: of the latitude the President has given us, American firepower 197 00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:57,960 Speaker 8: is only increasing, Iran's decreasing. We have more and more 198 00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:02,400 Speaker 8: options and they have less just one month. In only 199 00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:06,959 Speaker 8: one month, we set the terms. The upcoming days will 200 00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:10,200 Speaker 8: be decisive. Iran knows that, and there's almost nothing they 201 00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:11,800 Speaker 8: can militarily do about it. 202 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:16,120 Speaker 9: Yes, they will still shoot some missiles, but we will 203 00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:16,880 Speaker 9: shoot them down. 204 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:20,560 Speaker 8: Of note, the last twenty four hours saw the lowest 205 00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:25,280 Speaker 8: number of enemy missiles and drones fired by Iran. They 206 00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:30,120 Speaker 8: will go underground, but we will find them. We recently 207 00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:32,560 Speaker 8: destroyed another one of their command bunkers. 208 00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:34,360 Speaker 9: Leaders forced to flee. 209 00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:38,720 Speaker 8: No water, no power, no oxygen, no command control, their 210 00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:44,480 Speaker 8: faith in their caves diminishing. The latest intel is clear 211 00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:47,560 Speaker 8: out of sentcom Our strikes are damaging the morale of 212 00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:52,319 Speaker 8: the Iranian military, leading to widespread desertions, key personnel shortages, 213 00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:55,880 Speaker 8: and causing frustrations amongst senior leaders. 214 00:12:57,520 --> 00:12:59,080 Speaker 9: Just last night we had two. 215 00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:03,319 Speaker 8: Hundred dynamics strikes alone, dynamic strike is a strike where 216 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:06,400 Speaker 8: a pilot leaves and during their flight they get a 217 00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:09,920 Speaker 8: new target set based on real time intel given to them, 218 00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:13,000 Speaker 8: a new launcher, a new location, a new troop formation. 219 00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:15,440 Speaker 8: A dynamic target is one that changes while you're in 220 00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:19,680 Speaker 8: the air because of improved intelligence. Two hundred dynamic strikes alone, 221 00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:23,360 Speaker 8: in addition to the preplant targets. The video of the 222 00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:27,600 Speaker 8: President posted last night of Esfahan, an AMMO depot struck 223 00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:29,800 Speaker 8: by US bombers. 224 00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:30,360 Speaker 9: You see. 225 00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:32,240 Speaker 8: You don't get to see many of those videos because, 226 00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:36,240 Speaker 8: as a reminder, Iran has still shut off the Internet 227 00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:40,760 Speaker 8: to ninety nine point nine percent of its population. But 228 00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:45,480 Speaker 8: if Iran is wise, they will cut a deal. President 229 00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:48,520 Speaker 8: Trump doesn't bluff and he does not back down. You 230 00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:52,160 Speaker 8: can ask Kamanian about that. The new Iranian regime should 231 00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:56,720 Speaker 8: know that by now, this new regime, because regime change 232 00:13:56,760 --> 00:14:02,600 Speaker 8: has occurred, should be wiser than the last. President Trump 233 00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:05,640 Speaker 8: will make a deal. He is willing, and the terms 234 00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:07,480 Speaker 8: of the deal are known to them. 235 00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:08,400 Speaker 9: If Iran is. 236 00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:11,720 Speaker 8: Not willing, then the United States War Department will continue 237 00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:18,480 Speaker 8: with even more intensity. Standing here this morning, in this 238 00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:22,600 Speaker 8: briefing room, in my mind's eye, I'm actually looking out 239 00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:27,520 Speaker 8: at the groups I met this weekend, the pilots, the logisticians, 240 00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:32,080 Speaker 8: the intel analysts, the targeters, the sustainers, the flight crews, 241 00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:37,840 Speaker 8: the air defenders, the base security, those maintainers who we 242 00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:41,360 Speaker 8: walked up at sunset with the chill and the air 243 00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:45,320 Speaker 8: on the flight line. May God watch over all of 244 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:51,000 Speaker 8: them each day and each night. May His almighty and 245 00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:55,000 Speaker 8: eternal arms of Providence stretch over them and protect them 246 00:14:55,320 --> 00:15:00,400 Speaker 8: and bring them peace. In the name of Jesus Christ. 247 00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:02,720 Speaker 8: And Amen, it's a chairmeralvie. 248 00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:06,000 Speaker 10: Thank you, Miss Schrectering. Good morning everyone, and thank you 249 00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:09,760 Speaker 10: again for being here. As operations continue. I remain deeply 250 00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:13,200 Speaker 10: grateful for the service and determination of two point eight 251 00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:16,000 Speaker 10: million members of our joint Force, each of whom are 252 00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:18,360 Speaker 10: serving something greater than themselves. 253 00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:19,360 Speaker 11: Every day. 254 00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:22,600 Speaker 10: Those deployed and in many cases those at home who 255 00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:26,440 Speaker 10: are deploying forward and bomber pulses and others, put themselves 256 00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:28,960 Speaker 10: in harm's way, and we owe them a deep debt 257 00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:33,720 Speaker 10: of gratitude. I remain especially grateful for our fallen who 258 00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:38,120 Speaker 10: gave the ultimate sacrifice. We'll never forget their valor and 259 00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:41,680 Speaker 10: their determination to do something greater than themselves, and each 260 00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:45,120 Speaker 10: day we continue to earn what they've given to us. 261 00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:48,520 Speaker 10: This morning, I want to share that yesterday the Joint 262 00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:51,720 Speaker 10: Force had the honor of participating in the burial of 263 00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:56,760 Speaker 10: Colonel Clarence Emil Bud Anderson, who passed away in May 264 00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:59,520 Speaker 10: of twenty twenty four at the ripe old age of 265 00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:02,760 Speaker 10: one hundred two. He was laid to rest in Arlington 266 00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:07,440 Speaker 10: Cemetery yesterday morning, alongside his wife of seventy years, Eleanor, 267 00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:11,600 Speaker 10: who he married on February twenty third, nineteen forty five. 268 00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:14,280 Speaker 10: She passed away in twenty fifteen at the age of 269 00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:17,920 Speaker 10: ninety two. Bud Yesterday, a legend to our Air Force 270 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:21,280 Speaker 10: and fighter pilots everywhere, was honored with a combination fly 271 00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:24,120 Speaker 10: by a F thirty fives and a four ship of 272 00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:27,280 Speaker 10: P fifty one Mustangs. He was one of the most 273 00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:30,360 Speaker 10: prolific flying aces of World War Two and the highest 274 00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:33,320 Speaker 10: scoring P fifty one ace, with sixteen and a quarter 275 00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:36,360 Speaker 10: kills in his squadron and in his group. And he 276 00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:41,280 Speaker 10: served from nineteen forty two to nineteen seventy two, and 277 00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:44,080 Speaker 10: his last combat tour was flying F one oh four 278 00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:47,960 Speaker 10: thunder Chiefs over North Vietnam. For anyone that had the 279 00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:50,960 Speaker 10: chance to meet Colonel Anderson, you knew what an incredibly 280 00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:54,680 Speaker 10: special man he was. And that's true for each and 281 00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:57,520 Speaker 10: every one of our World War Two vets who become 282 00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:01,080 Speaker 10: fewer and fewer with each passing day. They are the 283 00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:04,880 Speaker 10: greatest generation and give us the gift of an incredible 284 00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:09,840 Speaker 10: example as we execute Operation Epic Fury today, and Colonel Anderson, 285 00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:14,800 Speaker 10: we mourn for your loss and remember that smile on 286 00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:16,919 Speaker 10: the right side as you went out to do our 287 00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:20,520 Speaker 10: nation's business. I'd like to now share an operational update. 288 00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:24,320 Speaker 10: Our Joint Force continues to focus on our military objectives 289 00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:29,280 Speaker 10: as we systematically continue to degrade and destroy Iran's ability 290 00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:33,800 Speaker 10: to project power and threaten stability beyond its borders. First, 291 00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:37,760 Speaker 10: the Joint Force continues to destroy Iran's ballistic missile and 292 00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:42,919 Speaker 10: UAS capabilities. We remain focused on interdicting and destroying the 293 00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:47,199 Speaker 10: logistical and supply chains that feed these programs, and this 294 00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:53,400 Speaker 10: remains a truly joint effort prosecuted around the clock from air, land, sea, space, 295 00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:58,240 Speaker 10: and cyberspace long range bombers from US Strategic Commander, coordinating 296 00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:01,800 Speaker 10: with tactical fighter aircraft from our joint force launched from 297 00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:06,720 Speaker 10: bases around the region and the continental United States, while simultaneously, 298 00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:10,800 Speaker 10: Navy fighters from the sea and sailors continue to project 299 00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:13,879 Speaker 10: power from the sea. Will Army and Marine artillery units 300 00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:18,320 Speaker 10: continue to execute long range precision fires deep into enemy 301 00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:23,000 Speaker 10: territory against high value targets. Meanwhile, on the defense side, 302 00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:26,240 Speaker 10: our army and air defenders and aviators, as the Secretary 303 00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:29,840 Speaker 10: talked about, remain vigilant, forming a shield to protect our 304 00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:34,480 Speaker 10: forces and our partners intercepting missiles and drones. Together, we 305 00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:39,760 Speaker 10: continue to deliver precision strikes against key manufacturing nodes, component 306 00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:45,360 Speaker 10: storage sites, research facilities deep within Iranian territory, and over 307 00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:48,760 Speaker 10: the past twenty nine I'm sorry thirty days, we've struck 308 00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:53,680 Speaker 10: more than eleven thousand targets. Given the increase in air superiority, 309 00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:58,520 Speaker 10: we've successfully started to conduct the first overland B fifty 310 00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:01,679 Speaker 10: two missions, which i'll allows, as we've said before, to 311 00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:05,200 Speaker 10: continue to get on top of the enemy, and as 312 00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:11,320 Speaker 10: the Secretary talked about, switched towards more and more dynamic targets, 313 00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:16,880 Speaker 10: servicing mobile targets around the battlespace. We've continued to do 314 00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:20,960 Speaker 10: the work against Iran's missile, drone and naval production facilities, 315 00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:25,720 Speaker 10: and we continue the multi domain pressure that we've talked about. Second, 316 00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:29,000 Speaker 10: on the navy front, we continue to assert dominance over 317 00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:32,840 Speaker 10: the Iranian navy. We remain focused on targeting their mind 318 00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:36,359 Speaker 10: laying capability, their naval assets, and we've now, as I 319 00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:39,960 Speaker 10: mentioned briefly last time, started to work attack helicopters and 320 00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:44,400 Speaker 10: other close air support assets into the naval domain. Santacom 321 00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:49,439 Speaker 10: continues to identify and work against naval depots and storage areas, 322 00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:51,920 Speaker 10: and we've taken out again more than one hundred and 323 00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:58,040 Speaker 10: fifty ships, including all Jammaran class frigates inside their navy. Third, 324 00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:01,080 Speaker 10: we continue to prosecute our campaign and against our defense 325 00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:06,680 Speaker 10: industrial base at scale. This includes factories, warehouses, nuclear weapons, 326 00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:11,760 Speaker 10: research and development labs, and the associated infrastructure required for 327 00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:16,520 Speaker 10: a RAND to reconstitute its combat capability. I'd like to 328 00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:21,800 Speaker 10: continue my theme of highlighting the incredible contributions of Americans 329 00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:24,560 Speaker 10: to our joint force. Today, I want to talk a 330 00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:27,719 Speaker 10: little bit about a different front line, a line that 331 00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:31,280 Speaker 10: doesn't have bunkers or guard posts, but is just as 332 00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:36,000 Speaker 10: critical to our nation security our national assembly lines. Today, 333 00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,480 Speaker 10: I want to recognize a group of Americans who live 334 00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:42,080 Speaker 10: at the beginning of our nation's combat power, the Americans 335 00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:46,879 Speaker 10: who actually make our weapons, both inside our defense industrial base, 336 00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:51,520 Speaker 10: but even more broadly, inside our national industrial base in 337 00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:56,360 Speaker 10: every military option. We could not and cannot do our 338 00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:59,679 Speaker 10: jobs without the men and women across our country who 339 00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:02,879 Speaker 10: show we owe up every day around the clock to 340 00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:07,439 Speaker 10: a factory floor, a workshop, a laboratory, who build the 341 00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:12,000 Speaker 10: weapons and capabilities we need to project American combat power 342 00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:15,800 Speaker 10: at the time and place of our choosing. These great Americans, 343 00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:17,840 Speaker 10: and I've had a chance to spend some time with 344 00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:20,199 Speaker 10: him when I was in the private sector, are the 345 00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:24,200 Speaker 10: core of American combat power. They're the machinists running high 346 00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:27,600 Speaker 10: tech se and sea machines, cutting raw blocks of metal 347 00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:33,119 Speaker 10: into incredibly precise parts. They're the assembly workers painstakingly taking 348 00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:35,800 Speaker 10: a kit of parts and turning that into a complex 349 00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:40,199 Speaker 10: guidance system or precision munition, or a rocket motor, or 350 00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:43,400 Speaker 10: building a jet or submarine or there. There are quality 351 00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:48,800 Speaker 10: assurance technicians who ensure that when a warfighter pulls a trigger, 352 00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:53,800 Speaker 10: the weapon works every time. This can be and is 353 00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:57,760 Speaker 10: tough and gritty work. It's not a quiet office and 354 00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:00,399 Speaker 10: a desk with paper, and there's nothing wrong with that. 355 00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:03,920 Speaker 10: But this is exactly the way this group of Americans 356 00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:06,600 Speaker 10: likes it. I know this, I've seen it myself, and 357 00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:10,240 Speaker 10: I remain deeply honored by that gift. It's often loud 358 00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:15,840 Speaker 10: and dangerous. Work demanding requires absolute focus for hours at 359 00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:19,040 Speaker 10: a time, with deep commitment to get it right every 360 00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:23,880 Speaker 10: single time. It's hands on work where one uncaught mistake 361 00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:27,560 Speaker 10: or deviation can put an Americans life at risk. A 362 00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:32,120 Speaker 10: single misplaced wire, a microscopic flaw, and a weld incorrectly 363 00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:36,959 Speaker 10: calibrated sensor could mean the difference between mission success or 364 00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:40,399 Speaker 10: mission failure. The difference is measured in the lives of 365 00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:42,840 Speaker 10: our sons and daughters who we put out around the 366 00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:46,480 Speaker 10: field and on the field of battle. We rely on 367 00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:49,679 Speaker 10: and trust in these great Americans, and it's not just 368 00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:55,600 Speaker 10: their manufacturing skill. It's their innovative minds and their entrepreneurial spirit. 369 00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:59,640 Speaker 10: From those who build exquisite capabilities down to the mom 370 00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:03,760 Speaker 10: and machine shops all over this great country. They live 371 00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:08,800 Speaker 10: at the beginning of and the core of America's combat capability, 372 00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:15,080 Speaker 10: constantly adapting, constantly improving, constantly learning, and there are examples 373 00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:19,440 Speaker 10: of this throughout history and current days, to include building 374 00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:22,960 Speaker 10: things like the F one seventeen stealth fighter, the B 375 00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:27,679 Speaker 10: two stealth bomber, making our combat capability undetectable over the 376 00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:31,439 Speaker 10: enemy to today's B twenty one and F forty seven. 377 00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:34,520 Speaker 10: It's worked like in the shipyards of the East Coast 378 00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:37,640 Speaker 10: and Northeast side of the United States that go out 379 00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:41,480 Speaker 10: and build America's nuclear submarines that allow us to patrol 380 00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:44,920 Speaker 10: around the world at the time and place of our choosing. 381 00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:49,879 Speaker 10: These innovators, these workers, these incredible Americans, don't get the 382 00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:52,840 Speaker 10: same glory as a fighter pilot returning to a carrier 383 00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:56,600 Speaker 10: deck at night or an artillery men sending rounds down range. 384 00:23:56,920 --> 00:24:00,920 Speaker 10: And yet they show up every single day, and without them, 385 00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:03,520 Speaker 10: we could not do the work that we are tasked 386 00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:06,840 Speaker 10: to do twenty four to seven. They build the tools 387 00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:10,960 Speaker 10: that we need to do our business. The skill, the commitment, 388 00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:16,240 Speaker 10: the patriotism, the dedication poured into every piece of combat 389 00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:20,720 Speaker 10: capability and hardware is seen and felt out at the 390 00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:24,440 Speaker 10: edge of the force. As the Secretary talked about those 391 00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:27,440 Speaker 10: young bomb builders out in the desert that he had 392 00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:30,600 Speaker 10: the chance to see, you can see it, you can 393 00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:34,600 Speaker 10: feel it. And it's real, and we're deeply grateful. So 394 00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:38,520 Speaker 10: to the American workforce out there, both inside our defense 395 00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:43,320 Speaker 10: industrial base and international industrial base, thank you on behalf 396 00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:46,719 Speaker 10: of the joint Force. We carry the weapons that you build, 397 00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:49,760 Speaker 10: We rely on the systems that you create, and the 398 00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:54,000 Speaker 10: distance from that factory floor and that assembly line to 399 00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:57,960 Speaker 10: the front line is incredibly short. Thank you keep it up. 400 00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:01,560 Speaker 10: And to our adversaries out there, I remind you to 401 00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:06,000 Speaker 10: beware of the American workforce. We continue to press forward 402 00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:09,240 Speaker 10: in our military objectives. The Secretary and I remained deeply 403 00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:13,680 Speaker 10: humbled by the spirit, tenacity, commitment, and grit of our 404 00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:17,120 Speaker 10: two point eight million member strong Joint Force. I want 405 00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:20,679 Speaker 10: to as always thank the force and their families, and 406 00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:24,199 Speaker 10: as always remember our fallen We carry with them and 407 00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:26,439 Speaker 10: their names every day. Sir, I'll turn it back over to. 408 00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:29,600 Speaker 8: Well, Thank you, mister chairman. Two things he didn't note it, 409 00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:32,760 Speaker 8: but in memory of Colonel Budd Anderson, the Chairman himself 410 00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:36,280 Speaker 8: flew as F sixteen to honor him recently, And thank 411 00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:38,720 Speaker 8: you for highlighting the Defense Industrial Base the arsenal of freedom. 412 00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:41,840 Speaker 8: It's worth noting no one has rebuilt that Defense Industrial 413 00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:45,040 Speaker 8: base faster and with more purpose than President Trump in 414 00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:48,359 Speaker 8: his first term. And now we're rebuilding the arsenal of freedom. 415 00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:51,520 Speaker 8: Our defense industrial base is more vibrant today than it's 416 00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:55,360 Speaker 8: been since World War Two and growing rapidly. Contrast that 417 00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:59,800 Speaker 8: with Iran, whose defense industrial base is nearly completely destroyed. 418 00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:03,840 Speaker 8: Their ability to reconstitute the weapons of war they're using 419 00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:06,639 Speaker 8: now that they're hiding in underground facilities and are trading 420 00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:10,800 Speaker 8: over time, their ability to rebuild that is negligible. And 421 00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:13,480 Speaker 8: I think that contrast is an enduring legacy of this 422 00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:13,920 Speaker 8: as well. 423 00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:15,600 Speaker 1: Right here, thank you very time. 424 00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:20,520 Speaker 12: We've had some signaling that the US will retake control 425 00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:23,720 Speaker 12: of the Strait of Horrmus. At that point, what military 426 00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:27,240 Speaker 12: posture will be imposed to guarantee you save passage for 427 00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:32,119 Speaker 12: our allies, deter our enemies, and demonstrate US dominance in 428 00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:35,280 Speaker 12: the region. And also, can you speak to how much 429 00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:39,959 Speaker 12: Americas and adversaries of Russia and China, North Korea, how 430 00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:42,840 Speaker 12: much they're supporting Iran's war machine at this point with 431 00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:46,720 Speaker 12: arms and intelligence, and what we are militarily doing to 432 00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:48,600 Speaker 12: punish the enemy. 433 00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:52,800 Speaker 8: Coalition appreciate both questions. On the Strait of Hormones, there 434 00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:55,399 Speaker 8: are many more vessels flowing through today than their work. 435 00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:57,240 Speaker 9: As the President has arranged. 436 00:26:57,359 --> 00:27:00,359 Speaker 8: The President's been clear to Iran open it for big business, 437 00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:02,840 Speaker 8: or we have options, and we certainly do. And when 438 00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:04,560 Speaker 8: you look at what the Chairman laid out with the Navy, 439 00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:07,600 Speaker 8: with the Navy industrial base, with coastal cruise missiles, with UAVs, 440 00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:11,359 Speaker 8: with countermind capabilities, we've been focused from the beginning on 441 00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:14,440 Speaker 8: a tridding and defeating those capabilities and limiting their options. 442 00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:18,200 Speaker 8: There's lots we're doing as well, some of which is known, 443 00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:20,600 Speaker 8: some of which is not known, to set the conditions. 444 00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:22,080 Speaker 9: And I think the President was clear this morning. 445 00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:26,280 Speaker 8: It is truth that there are countries around the world 446 00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:30,679 Speaker 8: who ought be prepared to step up on this critical 447 00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:31,440 Speaker 8: waterway as well. 448 00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:33,080 Speaker 9: It's not just the United States Navy. 449 00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:35,440 Speaker 8: Last time I checked, there was supposed to be a big, 450 00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:38,359 Speaker 8: bad Royal Navy that could be prepared to do things 451 00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:41,040 Speaker 8: like that as well. He's pointing out this is an 452 00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:43,240 Speaker 8: international waterway that we use less than most, in fact 453 00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:46,280 Speaker 8: dramatically less than most, so the world ought pay attention 454 00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:48,320 Speaker 8: to be prepared to stand up. President Trump's been willing 455 00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:50,160 Speaker 8: to do the heavy lifting on behalf of the free 456 00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:53,439 Speaker 8: world to address this threat of Iran. It's not just 457 00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:56,000 Speaker 8: our problem set going forward, even though we have done 458 00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:59,680 Speaker 8: the lion's share of preparation to ensure that straight will 459 00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:02,840 Speaker 8: be open, which is an outcome. The President's are very 460 00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:04,480 Speaker 8: clear on as far as Russia and China, we know 461 00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:07,360 Speaker 8: exactly what they're doing, what they are or are not doing. 462 00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:08,000 Speaker 3: We don't have to. 463 00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:10,199 Speaker 9: Air publicly what all of that is. 464 00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:14,320 Speaker 8: But where necessary, we're addressing it, we're mitigating it, and 465 00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:16,399 Speaker 8: or we're confronting it head on. 466 00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:17,720 Speaker 3: I don't know if you have anyone to ask, and 467 00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:18,080 Speaker 3: they'll sure. 468 00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:18,399 Speaker 13: Thank you. 469 00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:20,240 Speaker 11: Ever, did do you have enough time. 470 00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:21,480 Speaker 14: For operability in the street? 471 00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:22,240 Speaker 13: Thank you? 472 00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:27,000 Speaker 15: Miss the Secretary David real America's voice. And I witnessed 473 00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:30,159 Speaker 15: that enthusiasm on the lines in our submarine builders and 474 00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:30,880 Speaker 15: iron marks. 475 00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:31,720 Speaker 14: It's unbelievable. 476 00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:35,520 Speaker 15: But I just wanted to ask you, what's the status 477 00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:39,480 Speaker 15: of the delivery of any hardened bunkers for additional protection 478 00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:43,000 Speaker 15: for our troops and without getting too specific, what kind 479 00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:44,960 Speaker 15: of measures are we taking to protect some of the 480 00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:48,720 Speaker 15: larger and more strategic a craft like A century and other. 481 00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:50,920 Speaker 9: Well, it's a great, great question. 482 00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:56,120 Speaker 8: I'll say what I witnessed where I went was a 483 00:28:56,280 --> 00:29:01,680 Speaker 8: completely locked in discipline of bunker use and bunker improvement. 484 00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:04,920 Speaker 8: So from the beginning, as we stated very clearly, the 485 00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:06,840 Speaker 8: first thing we did was set up a defense and 486 00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:09,480 Speaker 8: make sure our defensive capabilities were maxed out before any 487 00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:13,520 Speaker 8: of this even started. That included fortifications as much as possible, 488 00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:17,120 Speaker 8: but it also included dispersement. If all of our people 489 00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:19,120 Speaker 8: are in one place, you could imagine why that's a 490 00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:22,880 Speaker 8: big problem. So dispersing is part of that defeat. Alongside 491 00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:26,000 Speaker 8: that disbursement is more and more bunkers, And I can 492 00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:28,880 Speaker 8: tell you talking to base commanders, talking to our allies 493 00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:31,680 Speaker 8: in Israel, talking to others rapidly fielding that and then 494 00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:35,440 Speaker 8: improving those positions is a theater priority, no doubt, as 495 00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:38,480 Speaker 8: are the air defenses and the layered air defenses. It's 496 00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:42,080 Speaker 8: not just patriots and fads, it's fighters and defensive caps 497 00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:45,680 Speaker 8: it's other kinetic defeat systems, it's electronic warfare. So the 498 00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:48,600 Speaker 8: defense of our of our troops and our assets is 499 00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:51,560 Speaker 8: max I will say on some of those other assets 500 00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:55,960 Speaker 8: you talked about, air wings, airframes, there's some things adversaries 501 00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:58,560 Speaker 8: are doing to provide info and intel that they shouldn't. 502 00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:02,080 Speaker 8: We're aware of it, and ultimately we move things around 503 00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:05,560 Speaker 8: and don't. One of the biggest principles you learn in 504 00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:09,959 Speaker 8: the militaries is to not set patterns predictable patterns, and 505 00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:12,480 Speaker 8: so where commanders are working hard to adjust in real 506 00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:14,800 Speaker 8: time with those systems and make sure they're in the 507 00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:17,520 Speaker 8: right places and not easily targetable Chilli. 508 00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:21,520 Speaker 16: Thanks, mister Secretary. The US in Iran appear right now 509 00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:26,320 Speaker 16: publicly to disagree about whether there are these negotiations ongoing, 510 00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:29,360 Speaker 16: What impact does that have on military strategy, does it 511 00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:34,800 Speaker 16: have any bearing at all? And general the President wrote 512 00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:40,920 Speaker 16: yesterday that the US might destroy Iran's electricity generating plants 513 00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:45,120 Speaker 16: and oil wells, those are his words, before ending this operation. 514 00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:47,560 Speaker 1: Is there a way to do either of those things. 515 00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:53,520 Speaker 16: Without like seriously jeopardizing or seriously harming civilians. 516 00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:58,200 Speaker 8: So on the talks, I can tell you, having been 517 00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:01,040 Speaker 8: with Steve and Jared and the Vice President and many 518 00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:03,840 Speaker 8: Marco and many others yesterday, they are very real. They 519 00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:08,600 Speaker 8: are ongoing, they're active, and I think gaining strength, and 520 00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:10,960 Speaker 8: we appreciate that. As I said in my remarks, we 521 00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:13,800 Speaker 8: would much prefer to get a deal if rom was 522 00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:17,680 Speaker 8: willing to relinquish material they have and ambitions they have. 523 00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:21,120 Speaker 8: Open this great, that's the goal. We don't want to 524 00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:23,840 Speaker 8: have to do more militarily than we have to. But 525 00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:26,040 Speaker 8: I didn't mean it flippantly when I said, in the meantime, 526 00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:28,800 Speaker 8: we'll negotiate with bombs. Our job is to ensure that 527 00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:32,160 Speaker 8: we compel around to realize that this new regime, this 528 00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:35,000 Speaker 8: regime in charge, is in a better place if they 529 00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:37,680 Speaker 8: make that deal, and so we'll continue. We're working hand 530 00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:40,080 Speaker 8: in hand, but the primary effort is a deal. We 531 00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:42,680 Speaker 8: want that deal to be accomplished if at all possible. 532 00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:44,920 Speaker 8: If not, then we're prepared to continue. 533 00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:47,960 Speaker 1: Chairman. 534 00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:53,760 Speaker 10: Yeah, thanks for the question. We're always thinking about those 535 00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:57,520 Speaker 10: considerations and develop options to be able to mitigate those 536 00:31:57,600 --> 00:32:00,800 Speaker 10: risks pursuing to the normal practices that we doing the military. 537 00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:02,920 Speaker 12: So thank you, mister secretary. 538 00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:05,840 Speaker 17: I know you slightly address this already, but just on 539 00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:08,239 Speaker 17: the straight of horror moves, is opening the straight an 540 00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:12,000 Speaker 17: essential objective to Operation Epic Fury? Or is that the 541 00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:16,400 Speaker 17: job of those other countries? And then, secondly, without asking 542 00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:18,120 Speaker 17: you to comment on things that you can't talk about, 543 00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:20,200 Speaker 17: what is your message to Americans? 544 00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:22,520 Speaker 18: Who love the President and strongly. 545 00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:24,880 Speaker 17: Believe in him, but are very worried about this notion 546 00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:26,600 Speaker 17: of boots on the ground. 547 00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:30,720 Speaker 8: Well, first, on the straight of horn moves, Our core 548 00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:34,160 Speaker 8: objectives from this podium from day one, from me, from 549 00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:37,680 Speaker 8: the Chairman, from the President, from the Vice President, from 550 00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:41,680 Speaker 8: Secretary Rubio and others have been clear, defense, missile production, 551 00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:46,320 Speaker 8: and missile programs, so their entire missile program, defense industrial 552 00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:50,000 Speaker 8: base and production, ability to build, and navy and power projection, 553 00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:52,760 Speaker 8: so those and then of course wrapping it all is 554 00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:54,480 Speaker 8: Aron's never going to have a nuclear web. So those 555 00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:56,680 Speaker 8: have been very clear. Defeating the Navy's a core part 556 00:32:56,680 --> 00:32:59,719 Speaker 8: of ensuring they can't project that kind of power. But ultimately, 557 00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:02,760 Speaker 8: A think the President's truth this morning lays that out 558 00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:05,720 Speaker 8: very well. That this strait of Horrormon's issue, which we've 559 00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:08,960 Speaker 8: set the conditions for success, and we will make sure 560 00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:12,400 Speaker 8: Iran knows that very clearly, is not just the United 561 00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:15,720 Speaker 8: States of America problem set We've been willing to lead. 562 00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:19,040 Speaker 8: President Trump's led the entire time, but it's not just us. 563 00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:21,680 Speaker 8: So ultimately, I think other countries should pay attention when 564 00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:24,120 Speaker 8: the President speaks. He's proven that when he speaks he 565 00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:28,200 Speaker 8: means something, and he's pointing out you might want to 566 00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:31,440 Speaker 8: start learning how to fight for yourself. It's something some 567 00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:33,640 Speaker 8: of us have been saying for quite some time. You 568 00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:36,400 Speaker 8: can't just have flags. You have to have formations. You 569 00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:38,400 Speaker 8: can't just have a few ships. You have enough to 570 00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:41,760 Speaker 8: affect change. Those things matter in a dangerous world with 571 00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:44,360 Speaker 8: a sended adversaries. That's why the President, that's why the 572 00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:46,040 Speaker 8: chairman's talking about our industrial base. 573 00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:46,760 Speaker 9: That's why we're. 574 00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:49,440 Speaker 8: Launching the Arsenal of Freedom Tour to revive our defense 575 00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:52,040 Speaker 8: industrial base. President Trump doing it in the way that 576 00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:56,200 Speaker 8: nobody else has. As far as President Trump and boots 577 00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:59,600 Speaker 8: on the ground, I don't understand why the base, which 578 00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:02,200 Speaker 8: they have already they understand, wouldn't have faith in his 579 00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:04,920 Speaker 8: ability to execute on this. Look at his track record 580 00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:10,080 Speaker 8: of pursuing peace through strength America first outcomes what he's 581 00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:12,680 Speaker 8: simply saying, and it's exactly true. And I've said from 582 00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:14,399 Speaker 8: this podium too, We're not going. 583 00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:15,360 Speaker 9: To foreclose any option. 584 00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:18,680 Speaker 8: You can't fight and win a war if you tell 585 00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:20,840 Speaker 8: your adversary what you are willing to do or what 586 00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:23,080 Speaker 8: you are not willing to do. To include boots on 587 00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:26,440 Speaker 8: the ground, the end our adversary right now thinks there 588 00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:28,640 Speaker 8: are fifteen different ways we could come at them with 589 00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:30,680 Speaker 8: boots on the ground, and guess what there are. 590 00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:33,800 Speaker 9: So if we needed to, we could execute. 591 00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:35,800 Speaker 8: Those options on behalf of the President of the United 592 00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:38,520 Speaker 8: States and this department. Or maybe we don't have to 593 00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:41,680 Speaker 8: use them at all, maybe negotiations work, or maybe there's 594 00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:44,640 Speaker 8: a different approach. The point is to be unpredictable in 595 00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:47,040 Speaker 8: that certainly not let anybody know what you're willing to 596 00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:49,799 Speaker 8: do or not do. But if anybody has internalized the 597 00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:53,400 Speaker 8: lessons of Iraq and Afghanistan as the first one President 598 00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:55,560 Speaker 8: Trump to call them out for what they are, he's 599 00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:57,520 Speaker 8: not going to repeat those lessons. And I think I've 600 00:34:57,520 --> 00:35:00,320 Speaker 8: been very clear about that from the podium of Thank. 601 00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:01,239 Speaker 1: You, Secretary of hat Seth. 602 00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:04,719 Speaker 19: A question for you and then question for General Kine. 603 00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:07,560 Speaker 19: You said we're a month in two the operation Epic Pury. 604 00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:10,839 Speaker 19: How long until the objectives are achieved? And is there 605 00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:13,880 Speaker 19: a scenario where a deal is struck before the objectives 606 00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:17,719 Speaker 19: have been achieved? And then for General Kine, there's been 607 00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:21,560 Speaker 19: lots of media coverage that suggest ground invasion is eminent. 608 00:35:22,239 --> 00:35:25,080 Speaker 19: What other purposes might the soldiers and the marines who 609 00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:28,320 Speaker 19: have been deployed over to the Middle East serve. 610 00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:28,960 Speaker 1: In this conflict. 611 00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:33,880 Speaker 8: Well, just like the previous questions, sort of military one 612 00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:37,200 Speaker 8: on one, don't tell your enemy what you're willing to 613 00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:40,000 Speaker 8: do or not do, and don't tell your enemy when 614 00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:42,560 Speaker 8: you're willing to stop, especially an enemy that likes to 615 00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:44,919 Speaker 8: hiden bunkers and try to hoard their missiles and hope 616 00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:47,960 Speaker 8: you'll wake you out. So that's not a question I'm 617 00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:50,719 Speaker 8: going to answer or or the President has said definitively, 618 00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:53,160 Speaker 8: we have our own goals and guidance and things were 619 00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:55,759 Speaker 8: military objectives that we're moving toward and things that we 620 00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:59,040 Speaker 8: look at and has he's articulated, you know, he said 621 00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:01,960 Speaker 8: four to six weeks, six to eight weeks, three, It 622 00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:05,480 Speaker 8: could be any particular number, but we would never reveal 623 00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:08,080 Speaker 8: precisely what it is because our goal is to finish 624 00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:11,120 Speaker 8: those objectives and we're well on our way, and the 625 00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:13,120 Speaker 8: Chairman and I look at this every single day. It 626 00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:16,480 Speaker 8: will be the president's determination and the president's determination alone 627 00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:20,040 Speaker 8: when those objectives are complete and when it serves the 628 00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:23,160 Speaker 8: interest of the American people to cut that deal to 629 00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:26,680 Speaker 8: make sure that Iran doesn't have a nuclear capability, and 630 00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:30,600 Speaker 8: ultimately that our objectives are our interests are advanced. I 631 00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:31,680 Speaker 8: don't know if you don't want to anything. 632 00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:34,719 Speaker 10: No, just to answer your question, Reagan, you know, the 633 00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:40,080 Speaker 10: range of military options that those forces can offer are extensive, 634 00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:43,239 Speaker 10: not just limited to what you mentioned in terms of 635 00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:45,359 Speaker 10: forces on the ground. And I wouldn't want to take 636 00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:49,400 Speaker 10: away the president's decision space. But there are a multitude 637 00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:52,560 Speaker 10: of things, not the least of which is Iran should 638 00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:55,880 Speaker 10: note that they're out there and that they are our 639 00:36:56,040 --> 00:37:00,000 Speaker 10: pressure point, and so they should carefully consider. I think 640 00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:02,759 Speaker 10: think at the diplomatic level, not not my job as 641 00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:05,560 Speaker 10: a chairman, but at the diplomatic level, to consider what's 642 00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:08,280 Speaker 10: in front of them. 643 00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:14,800 Speaker 20: Okay, uh, miss Secretary. The US government, I see assessed 644 00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:18,600 Speaker 20: for many years that Iran is protecting al Qaeda senior leaders, 645 00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:24,480 Speaker 20: including the current Emir, sciphil Idol. Does the US assess 646 00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:27,680 Speaker 20: that he's still in Iran as he fled to Afghanistan? 647 00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:31,920 Speaker 20: Is he on a target list? And a mister Chairman, 648 00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:39,200 Speaker 20: based on Sencom figures and open source Iranian daily missile 649 00:37:39,239 --> 00:37:44,080 Speaker 20: barrages and drone launches have indeed dropped dramatically since the 650 00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:47,000 Speaker 20: start of the war, but they're not at zero, and 651 00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:52,759 Speaker 20: they seem to have maintained some level of low but 652 00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:55,040 Speaker 20: stable numbers. Perhaps they've dropped a little bit more in 653 00:37:55,080 --> 00:38:00,280 Speaker 20: recent days. How do we get that closer to zero? 654 00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:05,440 Speaker 20: And what impact is Iran's degraded but still very real 655 00:38:05,480 --> 00:38:08,920 Speaker 20: capability impacting current and future operations. 656 00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:11,200 Speaker 8: So I won't speak to a particular target. I'll just 657 00:38:11,239 --> 00:38:15,080 Speaker 8: say that al Qaida remains our enemy, obviously, and there 658 00:38:15,080 --> 00:38:18,280 Speaker 8: are a lot of people on our target list in Iran, 659 00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:19,960 Speaker 8: and if they were to be harboring al Qaida, they 660 00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:21,120 Speaker 8: would certainly fit. 661 00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:23,080 Speaker 11: That list just quickly. 662 00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:26,880 Speaker 10: You know, the mobile targets that they have that we 663 00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:29,960 Speaker 10: continue to service. As a secretary talked about the two 664 00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:33,360 Speaker 10: hundred hits that were done last night, that's one component 665 00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:34,839 Speaker 10: of continuing. 666 00:38:34,280 --> 00:38:34,840 Speaker 3: To lower that. 667 00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:39,000 Speaker 10: The second and more long term impact that we're having 668 00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:42,520 Speaker 10: is the strikes against their defense industrial base at scale, 669 00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:45,880 Speaker 10: which will not allow them to reload after that. So 670 00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:48,560 Speaker 10: we do continue to see it trend down. They are 671 00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:52,200 Speaker 10: still shooting, and we do continue to exert significant pressure 672 00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:53,880 Speaker 10: against both sides of that system. 673 00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:58,040 Speaker 21: Oh, Sectary, thanks to the question, do you still believe 674 00:38:58,239 --> 00:39:02,200 Speaker 21: con said previously that the Iranian leadership with surrender. You 675 00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:05,560 Speaker 21: still believe that, and the United States still committed to 676 00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:09,480 Speaker 21: NATO's collective defense. And to the Chairman, Kame, could you 677 00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:12,880 Speaker 21: feel a sense of your thinking about the legality of 678 00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:15,840 Speaker 21: striking desalinization plans if the President. 679 00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:16,200 Speaker 12: Were to order that. 680 00:39:18,440 --> 00:39:20,719 Speaker 8: I will just say that any mission that ends on 681 00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:22,920 Speaker 8: our terms, you're going to call it a surrender, call 682 00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:24,600 Speaker 8: it a defeat, call it what you want. We remain 683 00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:27,960 Speaker 8: committed to a conflict that ends on our terms, in 684 00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:30,759 Speaker 8: the President's terms. There's no doubt about that. And as 685 00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:32,680 Speaker 8: far as NATO's concerned, that's a decision that will be 686 00:39:32,719 --> 00:39:35,759 Speaker 8: left to the president. But I'll just say a lot 687 00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:38,920 Speaker 8: has been laid bare, a lot has been shown. 688 00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:40,920 Speaker 9: To the world about what our allies would be. 689 00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:43,600 Speaker 8: Willing to do for the United States of America when 690 00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:46,759 Speaker 8: we undertake an effort of this scope on behalf of 691 00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:49,000 Speaker 8: the free world. These are missiles that don't even range 692 00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:52,040 Speaker 8: the United States of America. They range allies and others. 693 00:39:52,520 --> 00:39:56,160 Speaker 8: And yet when we ask for additional assistance or simple 694 00:39:56,760 --> 00:40:01,680 Speaker 8: access basing the overflight, we get questions or roadblocks or hesitations. 695 00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:04,319 Speaker 8: And the President's pointing out you don't have much of 696 00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:07,959 Speaker 8: an alliance if you have countries that are not willing 697 00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:09,720 Speaker 8: to stand with you when you need them. He simply 698 00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:12,279 Speaker 8: pointing that out, and ultimately it'll be his decision of 699 00:40:12,320 --> 00:40:13,040 Speaker 8: what that looks like. 700 00:40:13,239 --> 00:40:15,719 Speaker 9: After this is completely I'll just won't. 701 00:40:15,520 --> 00:40:18,440 Speaker 10: Talk about any particular target. This really builds on Jillian's 702 00:40:18,520 --> 00:40:21,000 Speaker 10: question too that I don't think I completely answered. But 703 00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:24,320 Speaker 10: you know, the Joint Force is the most professional force 704 00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:27,600 Speaker 10: in the world, and we have numerous processes and system 705 00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:31,560 Speaker 10: to carefully consider the whole range of considerations from civilian 706 00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:36,320 Speaker 10: risk to legal considerations with any target, and as targets 707 00:40:36,360 --> 00:40:39,440 Speaker 10: come before us, we run them through the same process 708 00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:43,440 Speaker 10: that we always do and always strike lawful targets in 709 00:40:43,520 --> 00:40:45,799 Speaker 10: accordance with the normal procedures that we use. 710 00:40:46,880 --> 00:40:54,320 Speaker 19: No quote or no mercy for enemy pan No, thank you, 711 00:40:54,360 --> 00:40:55,400 Speaker 19: mister secretary, Thank you. 712 00:40:55,440 --> 00:40:56,000 Speaker 1: I appreciate it. 713 00:40:56,040 --> 00:40:58,839 Speaker 18: On Sunday, President Trump said that Heron's first regime was 714 00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:02,200 Speaker 18: all destroyed in the second one is mostly jad. The 715 00:41:02,239 --> 00:41:04,680 Speaker 18: third regime that we're on right now has been much 716 00:41:04,680 --> 00:41:06,239 Speaker 18: more reasonable in negotiations. 717 00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:07,920 Speaker 14: Do you agree with that assessment. 718 00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:09,640 Speaker 8: And why I would defer to the negotiating team there. 719 00:41:09,920 --> 00:41:11,600 Speaker 8: They're the ones talking to them, but they're getting a 720 00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:15,440 Speaker 8: back and forth on terms, which is a productive development. 721 00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:20,000 Speaker 8: We stand right there next to our negotiating team, always 722 00:41:20,040 --> 00:41:22,520 Speaker 8: willing and prepared to put them in an even better position. 723 00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:23,480 Speaker 3: Thank you very much. 724 00:41:24,280 --> 00:41:25,440 Speaker 14: Thank you. 725 00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:34,720 Speaker 5: Say you've been listening to the Secretary of War Pete 726 00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:36,960 Speaker 5: hag Seth, along with the Chairman and the Joint chiefs 727 00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:41,200 Speaker 5: of Staff, General Dan Kin, talking about the war operations 728 00:41:41,239 --> 00:41:44,480 Speaker 5: in Iran. Let's bring in David and Alison to discuss 729 00:41:44,520 --> 00:41:45,360 Speaker 5: a little bit more. 730 00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:47,759 Speaker 3: There's a lot to take in here. 731 00:41:47,800 --> 00:41:50,719 Speaker 5: I must admit I don't feel like we learned a 732 00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:53,120 Speaker 5: whole lot new, but I do believe there was a 733 00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:56,400 Speaker 5: different sort of narrative that we heard the Secretary of 734 00:41:56,400 --> 00:42:00,440 Speaker 5: War saying that these other countries that our allies just 735 00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:04,040 Speaker 5: have flags, You have to have formations. He's basically saying 736 00:42:04,280 --> 00:42:07,880 Speaker 5: that other countries need to learn how to fight for themselves. 737 00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:11,240 Speaker 5: That kind of echoes President Trump's truth social from earlier 738 00:42:11,239 --> 00:42:14,719 Speaker 5: this morning. We'll start with you, Alison, your takeaways, and 739 00:42:14,719 --> 00:42:16,680 Speaker 5: then David love to hear your takeaways from what we 740 00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:17,160 Speaker 5: just heard. 741 00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:20,759 Speaker 7: Oh, absolutely, Terrence, I completely agree with you. I think 742 00:42:21,600 --> 00:42:25,239 Speaker 7: what Pete Hegseth says, it's been laid bare what our 743 00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:28,760 Speaker 7: allies are willing to do. He went right out there 744 00:42:29,160 --> 00:42:33,759 Speaker 7: and called those other countries out for basically stiffing us 745 00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:37,680 Speaker 7: when we ask for help. So it's very clear that 746 00:42:37,840 --> 00:42:41,400 Speaker 7: has been exposed during this period of time, and I 747 00:42:41,520 --> 00:42:44,840 Speaker 7: thought that that was very overt and something that I 748 00:42:44,920 --> 00:42:48,600 Speaker 7: took notice of, and I think that other Americans are 749 00:42:48,600 --> 00:42:50,120 Speaker 7: going to take notice of in the future. 750 00:42:51,560 --> 00:42:54,000 Speaker 1: Well, look, not trying to purpoo it at all. He 751 00:42:54,120 --> 00:42:57,160 Speaker 1: was talking about visiting the troops overseas over the weekend, 752 00:42:57,520 --> 00:42:59,960 Speaker 1: but it was a jit of story time with Pete 753 00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:03,600 Speaker 1: at the beginning. He kind of bury the lead if 754 00:43:03,640 --> 00:43:06,760 Speaker 1: you will. Though they would suggest that what the troops 755 00:43:06,760 --> 00:43:09,160 Speaker 1: are doing on the front lines is the lead, and 756 00:43:09,239 --> 00:43:10,880 Speaker 1: you can make that argument, but it did feel a 757 00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:13,520 Speaker 1: little bit like storytime at the beginning, like he was 758 00:43:13,560 --> 00:43:16,920 Speaker 1: reading from a novel. A couple of things they're doing. 759 00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:19,880 Speaker 1: B fifty two runs over over land for the first time. 760 00:43:20,239 --> 00:43:22,480 Speaker 1: He said, talks are gaining strength. I thought that was 761 00:43:22,520 --> 00:43:29,040 Speaker 1: interesting in terms of how long until the objectives are achieved. 762 00:43:29,400 --> 00:43:32,880 Speaker 1: To me, this is interesting because he wouldn't set so 763 00:43:33,040 --> 00:43:35,480 Speaker 1: we're keeping our options open well, hold on for a second. 764 00:43:35,680 --> 00:43:39,440 Speaker 1: I believe, and I'm being facetious and rhetorical at the 765 00:43:39,480 --> 00:43:42,880 Speaker 1: same time, I believe they had said four to six weeks. 766 00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:46,239 Speaker 1: That was the timeline. It's always been the timeline. We're 767 00:43:46,239 --> 00:43:49,200 Speaker 1: in week five now, so why not continue to say 768 00:43:49,239 --> 00:43:52,160 Speaker 1: four to six weeks. He was asked, specifically the Secretary 769 00:43:52,160 --> 00:43:56,080 Speaker 1: of War whether or not that timeline. The actual question 770 00:43:56,400 --> 00:44:00,680 Speaker 1: was how long until the objectives are achieved? Well, if 771 00:44:00,719 --> 00:44:02,800 Speaker 1: it's four to six weeks and we're in week five, 772 00:44:02,920 --> 00:44:05,200 Speaker 1: that would suggest that it's two more weeks and then 773 00:44:05,200 --> 00:44:08,200 Speaker 1: we're done. You didn't say that. I thought that was interesting. 774 00:44:08,239 --> 00:44:11,320 Speaker 1: Let's bring in retired Navy seal officer. I'm sorry, Alison, 775 00:44:11,360 --> 00:44:12,080 Speaker 1: go ahead, you want to say. 776 00:44:12,440 --> 00:44:14,480 Speaker 7: I was just going to mention. I think that that 777 00:44:14,680 --> 00:44:18,359 Speaker 7: was his point, was that he was saying, we are 778 00:44:18,440 --> 00:44:22,160 Speaker 7: going to be unpredictable. We're not going to give you time. 779 00:44:26,920 --> 00:44:32,360 Speaker 7: It's not always going to be according to those dates. 780 00:44:32,760 --> 00:44:34,839 Speaker 1: No, I get that, But at the same time, they 781 00:44:34,960 --> 00:44:37,560 Speaker 1: had a timeline and they kept saying this timeline. I mean, 782 00:44:37,719 --> 00:44:39,560 Speaker 1: if you're not going to put timelines out there, then 783 00:44:39,560 --> 00:44:41,600 Speaker 1: don't put the timelines out there. They've already put the 784 00:44:41,600 --> 00:44:44,840 Speaker 1: timeline out there four to six weeks. So every single 785 00:44:45,160 --> 00:44:47,800 Speaker 1: press conference we've heard hex Thatt say four to six weeks, 786 00:44:47,800 --> 00:44:49,759 Speaker 1: four to six weeks, four to six weeks. Today you 787 00:44:49,760 --> 00:44:50,520 Speaker 1: did not say that. 788 00:44:50,800 --> 00:44:54,080 Speaker 7: Okay, But to me, the question is is this timeline 789 00:44:54,320 --> 00:44:58,160 Speaker 7: for us, the Americans, or is this timeline for people 790 00:44:59,480 --> 00:45:00,520 Speaker 7: perhaps enemies. 791 00:45:01,400 --> 00:45:03,839 Speaker 1: The timeline is for the objections to be accomplished. 792 00:45:04,600 --> 00:45:06,560 Speaker 5: I think that's what David, if you don't mind, I 793 00:45:06,760 --> 00:45:09,000 Speaker 5: do want to bring in retired Navy Seal officer and 794 00:45:09,080 --> 00:45:12,480 Speaker 5: chief Talent Officer for Overwatch Mission Critical. 795 00:45:12,520 --> 00:45:14,200 Speaker 3: That would be Mike Cirella. You're going to bring him 796 00:45:14,200 --> 00:45:17,640 Speaker 3: in momentarily, Mike, why don't you chime in on that. 797 00:45:18,040 --> 00:45:21,879 Speaker 5: The fact that the Administration of the Secretary of War 798 00:45:22,239 --> 00:45:26,120 Speaker 5: isn't necessarily being specific about timelines, is that fair in 799 00:45:26,160 --> 00:45:28,960 Speaker 5: your mind? Is that reasonable military practice? 800 00:45:30,160 --> 00:45:30,640 Speaker 1: Absolutely? 801 00:45:30,680 --> 00:45:33,320 Speaker 22: Reasonable military practice. Guys, we're going to keep our enemy 802 00:45:33,320 --> 00:45:36,480 Speaker 22: in the dark. What he's displaying here is we have result. 803 00:45:36,800 --> 00:45:38,839 Speaker 22: No matter how long it takes, we're going to get 804 00:45:38,840 --> 00:45:41,600 Speaker 22: the job done. I think from a timing perspective, probably 805 00:45:41,640 --> 00:45:46,280 Speaker 22: the key thing is Congress here is Trump move forward 806 00:45:46,320 --> 00:45:50,799 Speaker 22: with notifying Congress he's on a six week time time 807 00:45:50,840 --> 00:45:53,560 Speaker 22: crunch that he has that time clock. He's staring at it. 808 00:45:53,640 --> 00:45:57,520 Speaker 22: But what I would argue is give the military more 809 00:45:57,560 --> 00:45:59,960 Speaker 22: time because we have seen one of the most mind 810 00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:03,240 Speaker 22: fundamental just military operations. 811 00:46:03,280 --> 00:46:04,319 Speaker 1: You know in our era. 812 00:46:05,360 --> 00:46:08,000 Speaker 22: Previous generations from World War Two would look at what 813 00:46:08,040 --> 00:46:12,319 Speaker 22: we've done in complete awe with the low amount of casualties, 814 00:46:12,520 --> 00:46:16,120 Speaker 22: how we've decated decimated the military. But we are talking 815 00:46:16,160 --> 00:46:20,200 Speaker 22: about weeks compared to forty seven years of evil in 816 00:46:20,239 --> 00:46:22,160 Speaker 22: the largest state sponsor of terrorism. 817 00:46:22,640 --> 00:46:23,800 Speaker 11: We are in the red zone. 818 00:46:24,440 --> 00:46:28,520 Speaker 22: Let's continue because this will reshape the world as we 819 00:46:28,600 --> 00:46:32,759 Speaker 22: know it and the potential of a peaceful Middle East. 820 00:46:32,840 --> 00:46:37,040 Speaker 22: And this requires persistence, It requires resolve and commitment. 821 00:46:37,960 --> 00:46:39,919 Speaker 1: Mike, I get it that you've got to keep all 822 00:46:39,920 --> 00:46:42,840 Speaker 1: options open. I understand that. But the truth of the 823 00:46:42,840 --> 00:46:44,840 Speaker 1: matter is, can we just like have a truth serum 824 00:46:44,880 --> 00:46:47,000 Speaker 1: injection here. This thing's not wrapping up in a week 825 00:46:47,080 --> 00:46:49,000 Speaker 1: or two. I mean, if President Trump wants it to 826 00:46:49,040 --> 00:46:50,960 Speaker 1: wrap up, it can wrap up. I mean he can 827 00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:54,640 Speaker 1: literally say, Okay, we're done and the objectives have been accomplished. 828 00:46:54,680 --> 00:46:55,160 Speaker 3: I get it. 829 00:46:55,200 --> 00:46:57,680 Speaker 1: They can spin it or they can say it, but 830 00:46:57,760 --> 00:46:59,920 Speaker 1: the truth of the matter is This is not the 831 00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:01,600 Speaker 1: to be wrapped up in two weeks, is that your 832 00:47:01,640 --> 00:47:04,759 Speaker 1: assessment as well from a military perspective, because they got 833 00:47:04,840 --> 00:47:06,400 Speaker 1: Carg I wanted to deal with, and there are going 834 00:47:06,480 --> 00:47:09,160 Speaker 1: to be some booby traps hello on carg Island if 835 00:47:09,160 --> 00:47:10,239 Speaker 1: they send ground troops in. 836 00:47:11,480 --> 00:47:14,440 Speaker 22: David, You're correct. This isn't going to end in a week, guys. 837 00:47:14,760 --> 00:47:17,160 Speaker 22: These are probably going to be sustained security operations in 838 00:47:17,160 --> 00:47:17,760 Speaker 22: the Middle. 839 00:47:17,560 --> 00:47:19,120 Speaker 1: East for decades to come. 840 00:47:19,480 --> 00:47:21,040 Speaker 22: But if you do want to end this as quickly 841 00:47:21,080 --> 00:47:24,359 Speaker 22: as possible, then you go intense on the strikes. Hit 842 00:47:24,400 --> 00:47:28,480 Speaker 22: their desalination plants, hit their energy infrastructure, hit Carg Island, 843 00:47:28,480 --> 00:47:32,160 Speaker 22: destroy their financial jugular. That's the way you end this quickly. 844 00:47:32,280 --> 00:47:35,600 Speaker 22: It's not exactly a clean exit. But if you want 845 00:47:35,600 --> 00:47:38,759 Speaker 22: to put pain on the Iranian regime and give the 846 00:47:38,880 --> 00:47:41,960 Speaker 22: highest probability to the people of Iran to rise up 847 00:47:42,360 --> 00:47:44,720 Speaker 22: is put Iran into the dark and let them settle 848 00:47:44,719 --> 00:47:49,240 Speaker 22: it themselves. But again, not the best exit for America. 849 00:47:49,800 --> 00:47:51,280 Speaker 3: Hey, Mike, just really quickly. 850 00:47:51,960 --> 00:47:55,120 Speaker 5: It seems to me as a layman, as someone who's 851 00:47:55,280 --> 00:47:59,080 Speaker 5: not a military expert, that what's being said from the 852 00:47:59,120 --> 00:48:02,520 Speaker 5: administration and the reality is a little different. We continue 853 00:48:02,560 --> 00:48:06,400 Speaker 5: to hear from the administration that they've really kind of dismantled. 854 00:48:07,120 --> 00:48:10,520 Speaker 5: I think the term that was just used is Iran's 855 00:48:10,760 --> 00:48:15,880 Speaker 5: defense defense industrial kind of base. They've dismantled all the 856 00:48:15,920 --> 00:48:20,480 Speaker 5: weapons making facilities and abilities, but still on a daily basis, 857 00:48:20,680 --> 00:48:25,760 Speaker 5: we see Iran attacking other Gulf Area Golf area countries 858 00:48:25,800 --> 00:48:28,880 Speaker 5: as well as Israel, which says to me, all right, well, 859 00:48:28,920 --> 00:48:30,879 Speaker 5: they still have all these weapons even though you're saying 860 00:48:30,920 --> 00:48:35,000 Speaker 5: you're destroying all of that. Put that into perspective for regular, average, 861 00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:37,400 Speaker 5: everyday Americans like me, because I think there are a 862 00:48:37,440 --> 00:48:39,560 Speaker 5: lot of people who see that and wonder, Okay, well, 863 00:48:39,600 --> 00:48:41,640 Speaker 5: what's really going on. You're saying one thing, but they're 864 00:48:41,680 --> 00:48:43,440 Speaker 5: still attacking on a daily basis. 865 00:48:44,520 --> 00:48:45,960 Speaker 22: Hey, Terryce, you bring up a great point, and I 866 00:48:46,000 --> 00:48:48,480 Speaker 22: don't think any military professional would say that you can 867 00:48:48,560 --> 00:48:52,080 Speaker 22: decimate a regime without putting troops on the ground, and 868 00:48:52,160 --> 00:48:52,560 Speaker 22: we are. 869 00:48:52,480 --> 00:48:53,160 Speaker 11: Not going to do that. 870 00:48:53,400 --> 00:48:56,120 Speaker 22: We've seen what would happened in Iraq, we've seen what 871 00:48:56,120 --> 00:49:00,040 Speaker 22: happened in Afghanistan, but we have decimated their ability to 872 00:49:00,040 --> 00:49:04,680 Speaker 22: to project power regionally. Do they retain a residual capability 873 00:49:04,680 --> 00:49:07,920 Speaker 22: with missiles to launch yes, but we've seen those volleys 874 00:49:07,920 --> 00:49:12,520 Speaker 22: come significantly down. So I think the point here is, 875 00:49:13,080 --> 00:49:16,919 Speaker 22: you know, we have an opportunity to put a nail 876 00:49:16,920 --> 00:49:20,120 Speaker 22: in the coffin by striking their infrastructure, and ultimately that's 877 00:49:20,160 --> 00:49:22,120 Speaker 22: what we're doing now with B fifty two s and 878 00:49:22,280 --> 00:49:26,239 Speaker 22: hitting their war making capability. Guys in the military we say, 879 00:49:26,760 --> 00:49:31,440 Speaker 22: amateurs talk tactics, professionals talk logistics. War is about not 880 00:49:31,520 --> 00:49:35,560 Speaker 22: only mass troops in the architecture the war, the machinery 881 00:49:35,760 --> 00:49:38,880 Speaker 22: and technology they have, but it's the ability to produce it. 882 00:49:39,280 --> 00:49:43,319 Speaker 22: If you strike their production and their supply chain, you 883 00:49:43,440 --> 00:49:46,319 Speaker 22: limit you limit any military and if you look at 884 00:49:46,560 --> 00:49:50,040 Speaker 22: past wars, that's what we did with Germany, that's what 885 00:49:50,080 --> 00:49:53,960 Speaker 22: we did with Japan, is we struck their industrial military 886 00:49:54,000 --> 00:49:57,319 Speaker 22: complex in order to prohibit or limit their ability to 887 00:49:57,360 --> 00:49:57,879 Speaker 22: wage war. 888 00:50:00,239 --> 00:50:02,920 Speaker 7: It's such an amazing point. Thank you so much for 889 00:50:02,960 --> 00:50:06,040 Speaker 7: being with us this morning and sticking around. We sincerely 890 00:50:06,080 --> 00:50:07,160 Speaker 7: appreciate it. 891 00:50:07,239 --> 00:50:08,319 Speaker 3: Thanks Mike. 892 00:50:09,080 --> 00:50:11,839 Speaker 7: Also, RAV correspondent David Zier was at the briefing this 893 00:50:11,960 --> 00:50:16,080 Speaker 7: morning and got a question into Secretary of War Pete Hegset. 894 00:50:16,280 --> 00:50:20,400 Speaker 15: Let's take a look, what's the status of the delivery 895 00:50:20,480 --> 00:50:23,800 Speaker 15: of any hardened bunkers for additional protection for our troops, 896 00:50:24,200 --> 00:50:27,160 Speaker 15: and without getting too specific, what kind of measures are 897 00:50:27,160 --> 00:50:29,040 Speaker 15: we taking to protect some of the large and more 898 00:50:29,040 --> 00:50:33,520 Speaker 15: strategic at craft like the Century and other Well. 899 00:50:33,400 --> 00:50:36,520 Speaker 8: It's a great, great question. I'll say what I witnessed 900 00:50:36,520 --> 00:50:41,880 Speaker 8: where I went was a completely locked in discipline of 901 00:50:42,480 --> 00:50:46,680 Speaker 8: bunker use and bunker improvement. So from the beginning, as 902 00:50:46,719 --> 00:50:49,440 Speaker 8: we stated very clearly, the first thing we did was 903 00:50:49,480 --> 00:50:51,920 Speaker 8: set up a defense and make sure our defensive capabilities 904 00:50:51,920 --> 00:50:54,239 Speaker 8: were maxed out before any of this even started. That 905 00:50:54,280 --> 00:50:58,520 Speaker 8: included fortifications as much as possible, but it also included disbursement. 906 00:50:59,160 --> 00:51:01,480 Speaker 8: If all all of our people are in one place, 907 00:51:01,520 --> 00:51:04,040 Speaker 8: you could imagine why that's a big problem. So dispersing 908 00:51:04,160 --> 00:51:08,040 Speaker 8: is part of that defeat. Alongside that disbursement is more 909 00:51:08,320 --> 00:51:10,400 Speaker 8: and more bunkers. And I can tell you talking to 910 00:51:10,440 --> 00:51:13,680 Speaker 8: base commanders, talking to our allies in Israel, talking to others. 911 00:51:13,880 --> 00:51:17,160 Speaker 8: Rapidly Fielding that and then improving those positions is a 912 00:51:17,200 --> 00:51:20,480 Speaker 8: theater priority, no doubt, as are the air defenses and 913 00:51:20,560 --> 00:51:23,680 Speaker 8: the layered air defenses. It's not just patriots and thads, 914 00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:27,240 Speaker 8: it's fighters and defensive caps it's other kinetic defeat systems. 915 00:51:27,239 --> 00:51:30,279 Speaker 8: It's electronic warfare. So the defense of our of our 916 00:51:30,320 --> 00:51:33,840 Speaker 8: troops and our assets is max. I will say on 917 00:51:33,880 --> 00:51:38,239 Speaker 8: some of those other assets you talked about, air wings, airframes, 918 00:51:38,000 --> 00:51:41,040 Speaker 8: there's some things adversaries are doing to provide info and 919 00:51:41,040 --> 00:51:44,719 Speaker 8: intel that they shouldn't. We're aware of it, and ultimately 920 00:51:44,719 --> 00:51:47,280 Speaker 8: we move things around and don't. One of the biggest 921 00:51:48,280 --> 00:51:50,719 Speaker 8: principles you learn in the militaries is to not set 922 00:51:50,719 --> 00:51:55,040 Speaker 8: patterns predictable patterns, and so we're commanders are working hard 923 00:51:55,080 --> 00:51:57,880 Speaker 8: to adjust in real time with those systems and make 924 00:51:57,880 --> 00:51:59,960 Speaker 8: sure they're in the right places and not easily targetable. 925 00:52:00,040 --> 00:52:02,520 Speaker 7: And David joins us now along with the host of 926 00:52:02,560 --> 00:52:06,759 Speaker 7: the Right News Show, Javier Negra, who was also at 927 00:52:06,800 --> 00:52:11,000 Speaker 7: the briefing. Good morning, gentlemen, David. I'll begin with you. 928 00:52:11,040 --> 00:52:16,520 Speaker 7: We're hearing that word predictable or unpredictability again with your 929 00:52:16,640 --> 00:52:18,280 Speaker 7: question your thoughts this morning. 930 00:52:20,840 --> 00:52:25,040 Speaker 23: Good morning Allison and everybody. Yeah, the briefings wrapped up 931 00:52:25,080 --> 00:52:27,440 Speaker 23: here in the press briefing room. I thought there were 932 00:52:27,480 --> 00:52:30,000 Speaker 23: some interesting things that came out of it. One was 933 00:52:30,040 --> 00:52:35,239 Speaker 23: Pete Hegsett's confirmation that foreign adversaries maybe giving intel on 934 00:52:35,280 --> 00:52:39,000 Speaker 23: the location of some of these really invaluable assets like 935 00:52:39,040 --> 00:52:42,440 Speaker 23: the e three century a wax and other you know, 936 00:52:42,480 --> 00:52:48,920 Speaker 23: which puts US in jeopardy here. But as Netanyahu said yesterday, 937 00:52:49,440 --> 00:52:53,360 Speaker 23: most of the missions are complete and they're over the 938 00:52:53,440 --> 00:52:56,400 Speaker 23: halfway point, so to put a timeline on this would 939 00:52:56,400 --> 00:52:59,920 Speaker 23: probably be irresponsible. But I think they are making some 940 00:53:00,080 --> 00:53:05,160 Speaker 23: significant headway. And then we have the UAE yesterday agreeing 941 00:53:05,200 --> 00:53:09,000 Speaker 23: to join the force that will protect our ships and 942 00:53:09,160 --> 00:53:12,040 Speaker 23: other countries' ships in the Strait of Horror moves. I 943 00:53:12,040 --> 00:53:15,280 Speaker 23: thought that was a significant development as well, because securing 944 00:53:15,320 --> 00:53:17,919 Speaker 23: that traffic, which is down from one hundred and twenty 945 00:53:18,000 --> 00:53:21,440 Speaker 23: nine ships a day down to virtually none, an eleven 946 00:53:22,040 --> 00:53:25,080 Speaker 23: million barrels per day of oil taken out of the 947 00:53:25,080 --> 00:53:28,440 Speaker 23: supply chain. That looks like we're going to get some 948 00:53:30,239 --> 00:53:33,479 Speaker 23: you know, a break in that. And Javier Negra joins 949 00:53:33,560 --> 00:53:37,600 Speaker 23: us today and this is his first press briefing here 950 00:53:37,600 --> 00:53:38,320 Speaker 23: in the Pentagon. 951 00:53:38,480 --> 00:53:42,600 Speaker 24: What do you think, Well, it's peak second made the 952 00:53:43,239 --> 00:53:47,400 Speaker 24: transparency exercise we are not get used to see on 953 00:53:47,480 --> 00:53:50,160 Speaker 24: the Secretary of War of a Spain. Giving that the 954 00:53:50,280 --> 00:53:53,480 Speaker 24: days about a war, I'm pretty sure know that they 955 00:53:53,560 --> 00:53:57,359 Speaker 24: will the war will continue as he said, until they 956 00:53:57,480 --> 00:54:01,319 Speaker 24: run and people accept the deal. As Spanish, I'm very 957 00:54:01,360 --> 00:54:05,759 Speaker 24: worried about the positions of my country because we are partners, 958 00:54:05,800 --> 00:54:08,799 Speaker 24: my countries paying the Spanish government with the leftists. We 959 00:54:08,880 --> 00:54:13,160 Speaker 24: are the partners of the terrorists of Iran, and yesterday 960 00:54:13,600 --> 00:54:18,840 Speaker 24: we knew that the the Spanish space is going to 961 00:54:18,880 --> 00:54:23,440 Speaker 24: be closed for US military aircraft, which is makes me 962 00:54:23,480 --> 00:54:27,279 Speaker 24: feel embarrassed because United States has to have like the 963 00:54:27,360 --> 00:54:31,240 Speaker 24: good relationship with Spain, but the leftist Prime Minister of Spain, 964 00:54:31,239 --> 00:54:35,160 Speaker 24: Pedro Scientet, wants to make marketing attacking the US government, 965 00:54:35,239 --> 00:54:39,680 Speaker 24: attacking President Trump, because he's getting both attacking and confronting. 966 00:54:39,760 --> 00:54:43,160 Speaker 24: Because the difference between Spain and the decision of Italy 967 00:54:43,239 --> 00:54:45,920 Speaker 24: today to close the air space because in Italy they 968 00:54:45,960 --> 00:54:49,640 Speaker 24: need the cruisition from the Congress. In Spain is just 969 00:54:49,880 --> 00:54:54,480 Speaker 24: a political decision and that's not for want. I want 970 00:54:54,520 --> 00:54:56,920 Speaker 24: to give my support to President Trump because he's in 971 00:54:57,000 --> 00:54:59,160 Speaker 24: the correct side of the history and he. 972 00:54:59,239 --> 00:55:01,399 Speaker 9: Has to stopped the war. 973 00:55:01,680 --> 00:55:04,759 Speaker 24: He has to attack Iran because they financed a lot 974 00:55:04,760 --> 00:55:07,560 Speaker 24: of terrorist attacks all over the war, including in Spain. 975 00:55:08,640 --> 00:55:10,200 Speaker 3: Yes, I'm back to you, Allison. 976 00:55:10,960 --> 00:55:13,080 Speaker 7: Well, I'm going to throw it over to Terrence right now. 977 00:55:13,120 --> 00:55:14,600 Speaker 7: I think he has a question for you. 978 00:55:15,120 --> 00:55:17,440 Speaker 5: Yeah, Haavier, I want to follow up on what you said, 979 00:55:17,680 --> 00:55:18,440 Speaker 5: because you hit. 980 00:55:18,280 --> 00:55:19,239 Speaker 3: The nail on the head. 981 00:55:19,640 --> 00:55:24,000 Speaker 5: Both Spain, Spain and Italy have closed their airsprace to 982 00:55:24,200 --> 00:55:28,000 Speaker 5: US aircraft which are trying to refuel and set the 983 00:55:28,040 --> 00:55:31,160 Speaker 5: Stage four trips to the Middle East. What does that 984 00:55:31,280 --> 00:55:34,320 Speaker 5: say really across Europe? What message does that send to 985 00:55:34,400 --> 00:55:37,800 Speaker 5: the United States in terms of support in future wars 986 00:55:37,920 --> 00:55:41,360 Speaker 5: from those countries, from other supposed European allies. 987 00:55:43,320 --> 00:55:47,280 Speaker 24: You know, it's an important message because the difference between Italy, 988 00:55:47,400 --> 00:55:51,600 Speaker 24: as I said, is like Gergiamin, only Italian Prime Minister. 989 00:55:51,920 --> 00:55:55,520 Speaker 24: She made the decision because she meets the approval of 990 00:55:55,600 --> 00:55:59,120 Speaker 24: the Congress is a legal thing, so she closed the 991 00:55:59,239 --> 00:56:02,600 Speaker 24: airspace because she needs the approval of the Congress. The 992 00:56:02,680 --> 00:56:07,440 Speaker 24: difference is the Prime Minister of explaining Pedro Scienchez, he 993 00:56:07,560 --> 00:56:11,040 Speaker 24: made the decision because he wants to be the enemy 994 00:56:11,160 --> 00:56:15,040 Speaker 24: of President Trant to get voters because in the pools 995 00:56:15,080 --> 00:56:17,960 Speaker 24: he was destroyed because he has a lot of scandals 996 00:56:17,960 --> 00:56:21,920 Speaker 24: for corruption, including his wife, including his brother, including his 997 00:56:22,320 --> 00:56:25,719 Speaker 24: colleagues in the Socialist Party, and now he's trying to 998 00:56:25,760 --> 00:56:29,759 Speaker 24: make distraction. He's trying to attack President Trump because he's 999 00:56:29,760 --> 00:56:33,399 Speaker 24: a good marketing campaign, because now is all the time 1000 00:56:33,719 --> 00:56:37,239 Speaker 24: on the news. But I feel sorry about my Spanish 1001 00:56:37,480 --> 00:56:41,440 Speaker 24: people because maybe we're gonna have tariffs, maybe we're gonna 1002 00:56:41,440 --> 00:56:44,799 Speaker 24: have a President Trump saying that he's gonna bang my 1003 00:56:45,080 --> 00:56:49,600 Speaker 24: use waiver. So I'm very worried about what action they 1004 00:56:49,600 --> 00:56:54,680 Speaker 24: are gonna take again against my country, you know, right. 1005 00:56:54,920 --> 00:56:59,239 Speaker 1: David Zerr, Javier Negra, appreciate your time.

I think it's a very unique 1044 00:59:19,360 --> 00:59:22,080 Speaker 7: situation where you have the Secretary of War coming out 1045 00:59:22,120 --> 00:59:28,520 Speaker 7: and having these press conferences weekly essentially, and they're really 1046 00:59:28,800 --> 00:59:34,560 Speaker 7: it's new them getting out there and presenting their story, 1047 00:59:35,400 --> 00:59:38,200 Speaker 7: and whether you agree with that or you disagree with 1048 00:59:38,200 --> 00:59:40,960 Speaker 7: that or the way that they're presenting the information, they 1049 00:59:41,120 --> 00:59:44,200 Speaker 7: definitely want to get to the jump and put their 1050 00:59:44,920 --> 00:59:46,320 Speaker 7: side out there. 1051 00:59:48,160 --> 00:59:51,120 Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, we got some perspective, if you will. 1052 00:59:51,360 --> 00:59:52,960 Speaker 5: I'm not so sure there was a whole lot of 1053 00:59:53,040 --> 00:59:55,560 Speaker 5: new information or information that we didn't. 1054 00:59:55,320 --> 00:59:57,840 Speaker 3: Really know, not a whole lot, just some added details. 1055 00:59:58,000 --> 00:59:59,560 Speaker 5: But guys do want to kind of move to this 1056 00:59:59,600 --> 01:00:02,640 Speaker 5: because we now do finally know who President Trump and 1057 01:00:02,720 --> 01:00:06,560 Speaker 5: his team have been negotiating with inside Iran. Forty seven 1058 01:00:06,640 --> 01:00:10,640 Speaker 5: says it's the country's parliamentary speaker, who has been vehemently 1059 01:00:10,680 --> 01:00:14,960 Speaker 5: denying any ongoing talks with the US administration. The president 1060 01:00:15,040 --> 01:00:17,439 Speaker 5: is even or that guy, excuse me. The Iranian leader 1061 01:00:17,480 --> 01:00:21,240 Speaker 5: has even threatened American soldiers saying quote waiting for the 1062 01:00:21,320 --> 01:00:24,240 Speaker 5: arrival of American troops on the ground to set them 1063 01:00:24,240 --> 01:00:27,760 Speaker 5: on fire and punish their regional partners forever. As the 1064 01:00:27,760 --> 01:00:31,520 Speaker 5: fighting continues, American allies in the Gulf are reportedly urging 1065 01:00:31,560 --> 01:00:35,760 Speaker 5: President Trump to keep bombing Iran, saying that Tehran hasn't 1066 01:00:35,800 --> 01:00:39,960 Speaker 5: been weakened enough by the month long campaign. Countries privately 1067 01:00:40,000 --> 01:00:43,000 Speaker 5: pushing the United States to finish the job supposedly include 1068 01:00:43,000 --> 01:00:48,240 Speaker 5: Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, and Bahrain. The 1069 01:00:48,280 --> 01:00:50,800 Speaker 5: White House is continuing to push Congress to fund the 1070 01:00:50,840 --> 01:00:54,960 Speaker 5: Department of Homeland Security. The current DHS shutdown is now 1071 01:00:55,000 --> 01:00:56,720 Speaker 5: the longest in American history. 1072 01:00:56,960 --> 01:00:58,160 Speaker 3: On Monday, the White. 1073 01:00:57,880 --> 01:01:01,640 Speaker 5: House called vacationing lawmakers in the House and Senate to task, 1074 01:01:01,840 --> 01:01:03,600 Speaker 5: particularly Democrats. 1075 01:01:04,000 --> 01:01:07,960 Speaker 26: Democrats are holding our entire country hostage, picking and choosing 1076 01:01:08,160 --> 01:01:11,760 Speaker 26: which programs and agencies they want to fund just because 1077 01:01:11,800 --> 01:01:13,720 Speaker 26: they don't like this administration's policies. 1078 01:01:13,800 --> 01:01:15,600 Speaker 1: That's not how it's supposed to work. 1079 01:01:15,600 --> 01:01:20,480 Speaker 26: They voted seven times against funding DHS over partisan in 1080 01:01:20,520 --> 01:01:23,720 Speaker 26: political reasons. And so again, the President has stepped in 1081 01:01:23,760 --> 01:01:25,600 Speaker 26: to do the right thing at this moment in time. 1082 01:01:25,920 --> 01:01:28,800 Speaker 26: But the President is also encouraging Congress to come back 1083 01:01:28,840 --> 01:01:32,560 Speaker 26: to Washington to permanently fix this problem and to fund 1084 01:01:32,760 --> 01:01:35,320 Speaker 26: and reopen to the Department of Homeland Security entirely. 1085 01:01:38,440 --> 01:01:42,120 Speaker 5: Meantime, Palm Beach Airport in Palm Beach, Florida now officially 1086 01:01:42,440 --> 01:01:44,960 Speaker 5: Donald J. Trump International Airport. 1087 01:01:45,320 --> 01:01:45,680 Speaker 3: Florida. 1088 01:01:45,760 --> 01:01:49,360 Speaker 5: Governor Ron Desanta sign legislation on Monday renaming the airport 1089 01:01:49,600 --> 01:01:52,200 Speaker 5: in honor of the forty fifth and forty seven president, 1090 01:01:52,240 --> 01:01:55,560 Speaker 5: who's nearby. Mar Laga Resort is the Trump famili's home 1091 01:01:55,600 --> 01:01:59,360 Speaker 5: away from the White House. Florida Republicans fought to rebrand 1092 01:01:59,360 --> 01:02:02,680 Speaker 5: the airport, saying it's a fitting way to recognize President 1093 01:02:02,680 --> 01:02:06,000 Speaker 5: Trump as the first president to reside in Florida. The 1094 01:02:06,080 --> 01:02:09,600 Speaker 5: cost of the reband rebranding excuse me, which will include 1095 01:02:09,680 --> 01:02:13,600 Speaker 5: airport signage and website updates, is estimated to cost between 1096 01:02:13,680 --> 01:02:16,360 Speaker 5: two and a half two point seventy five million and 1097 01:02:16,480 --> 01:02:20,080 Speaker 5: about five and a half million dollars. That's a great 1098 01:02:20,160 --> 01:02:22,040 Speaker 5: check of your headlines. Now let's get a quick check 1099 01:02:22,040 --> 01:02:26,160 Speaker 5: of your weather forecast with meteorologists Tracy Anthony Tracy, good. 1100 01:02:25,960 --> 01:02:30,160 Speaker 27: Morning, Hey, good morning, Terrence. We are talking severe weather. 1101 01:02:30,240 --> 01:02:33,040 Speaker 27: It's really ramping up as our weather pattern is starting 1102 01:02:33,080 --> 01:02:36,320 Speaker 27: to shift. So twenty five million people at risk for 1103 01:02:36,440 --> 01:02:39,800 Speaker 27: strong to severe thunderstorms throughout the day today. So scenes 1104 01:02:39,840 --> 01:02:43,600 Speaker 27: like this already started yesterday evening in Iowa. We have 1105 01:02:43,800 --> 01:02:46,440 Speaker 27: several low pressure centers that are going to roll through 1106 01:02:46,520 --> 01:02:49,640 Speaker 27: the Central Plains and the Great Lakes regions even into 1107 01:02:49,960 --> 01:02:54,200 Speaker 27: the northeast. So brace for hail, wind and even tornado 1108 01:02:54,240 --> 01:02:57,200 Speaker 27: potential over the next couple of days. So this is 1109 01:02:57,240 --> 01:02:59,800 Speaker 27: going to be a multi day severe weather outbreak. And 1110 01:02:59,800 --> 01:03:04,040 Speaker 27: what fueling it is a record heat across the Central Plains. 1111 01:03:04,120 --> 01:03:07,640 Speaker 27: So we had a ton of heat records set throughout 1112 01:03:07,680 --> 01:03:10,760 Speaker 27: the month of March. Daily heat records, we're almost eight 1113 01:03:10,920 --> 01:03:15,320 Speaker 27: thousand just across the country, so very impressive amounts of heat. 1114 01:03:15,720 --> 01:03:17,520 Speaker 27: But we do still have a winter side of things, 1115 01:03:17,560 --> 01:03:19,520 Speaker 27: so we're going to be picking up some fresh snow 1116 01:03:19,560 --> 01:03:22,800 Speaker 27: and some ice here across parts of the northern tier 1117 01:03:22,920 --> 01:03:25,480 Speaker 27: of the country. North Dakota. You were picking up some 1118 01:03:25,520 --> 01:03:29,440 Speaker 27: fresh flakes just yesterday. So the severe threat though the 1119 01:03:29,480 --> 01:03:31,600 Speaker 27: next couple of days is what's going to be the 1120 01:03:31,640 --> 01:03:34,600 Speaker 27: big kicker. So Terrence just want to remind everyone you 1121 01:03:34,600 --> 01:03:37,240 Speaker 27: can download the weather Nation app to get all your 1122 01:03:37,280 --> 01:03:39,960 Speaker 27: latest updates. That's going to be your best bet to 1123 01:03:40,120 --> 01:03:42,520 Speaker 27: stay weather aware here for the week. 1124 01:03:43,720 --> 01:03:49,360 Speaker 5: Good information there, tt appreciated, Tracy. Yeah, all right, let's 1125 01:03:49,360 --> 01:03:51,320 Speaker 5: get you over to David now. David, so much to 1126 01:03:51,360 --> 01:03:53,520 Speaker 5: talk about on Capitol Hill, as well as what we 1127 01:03:53,640 --> 01:03:56,880 Speaker 5: just heard from the Secretary of War Pete Heikeseth, no 1128 01:03:56,960 --> 01:03:57,520 Speaker 5: doubt about it. 1129 01:03:57,600 --> 01:04:00,240 Speaker 1: Tea Bates, all right, the Trump administration can see you 1130 01:04:00,280 --> 01:04:03,120 Speaker 1: into Wade's next steps in the ongoing conflict in Iran. 1131 01:04:03,200 --> 01:04:07,600 Speaker 1: The conflict continues to escalate after authorities report an Iranian 1132 01:04:07,720 --> 01:04:11,480 Speaker 1: drone struck a Kuwaiti flag tanker carrying millions of barrels 1133 01:04:11,480 --> 01:04:14,960 Speaker 1: of oil in Dubai. The attack came as Iran continues 1134 01:04:15,000 --> 01:04:17,960 Speaker 1: to lash out at Israel and other Gulf states. We 1135 01:04:18,040 --> 01:04:20,480 Speaker 1: also heard from Secretary of War Pete Hegseth in the 1136 01:04:20,600 --> 01:04:23,520 Speaker 1: last hour who said Iran actually has a much easier 1137 01:04:23,560 --> 01:04:24,720 Speaker 1: way out of this war. 1138 01:04:25,160 --> 01:04:29,080 Speaker 8: Here he is, but if Iran is wise, they will 1139 01:04:29,120 --> 01:04:32,760 Speaker 8: cut a deal. President Trump doesn't bluff and he does 1140 01:04:32,800 --> 01:04:36,520 Speaker 8: not back down. You can ask Kamanian about that. The 1141 01:04:36,560 --> 01:04:40,720 Speaker 8: new Iranian regime should know that by now, this new regime, 1142 01:04:41,440 --> 01:04:42,840 Speaker 8: because regime change. 1143 01:04:42,560 --> 01:04:46,400 Speaker 9: Has occurred, should be wiser than the last. 1144 01:04:47,800 --> 01:04:51,000 Speaker 8: President Trump will make a deal he is willing, and 1145 01:04:51,040 --> 01:04:53,640 Speaker 8: the terms of the deal are known to them. If 1146 01:04:53,680 --> 01:04:56,520 Speaker 8: Iran is not willing, then the United States War Department 1147 01:04:56,600 --> 01:05:00,400 Speaker 8: will continue with even more intensive. 1148 01:05:04,120 --> 01:05:06,320 Speaker 1: All right, joining us now with analysis is the editor 1149 01:05:06,400 --> 01:05:09,440 Speaker 1: chief for Just the News. That would be John Solomon, 1150 01:05:09,480 --> 01:05:12,840 Speaker 1: our good friend John. So what do you think I mean? 1151 01:05:12,840 --> 01:05:15,640 Speaker 1: We're in week five? We were told four to six 1152 01:05:15,680 --> 01:05:18,440 Speaker 1: weeks at the beginning of this. Every press conference was 1153 01:05:18,480 --> 01:05:20,760 Speaker 1: four to six weeks. Now they're not really saying four 1154 01:05:20,760 --> 01:05:23,040 Speaker 1: to six weeks, or at least he step didn't say 1155 01:05:23,080 --> 01:05:26,000 Speaker 1: today four to six weeks. I can't imagine this is 1156 01:05:26,040 --> 01:05:29,600 Speaker 1: wrapping up in a week or two. Absolutely impossible unless 1157 01:05:30,360 --> 01:05:33,520 Speaker 1: negotiations somehow take a turn for the better, even though 1158 01:05:33,600 --> 01:05:35,920 Speaker 1: we're told that there's progress. But what do you think 1159 01:05:36,040 --> 01:05:36,720 Speaker 1: is going to happen here? 1160 01:05:36,800 --> 01:05:37,040 Speaker 5: John? 1161 01:05:38,040 --> 01:05:40,120 Speaker 28: Yeah, listen, I think this is on course for a 1162 01:05:40,160 --> 01:05:42,680 Speaker 28: mid May completion. If we have to go the full 1163 01:05:42,720 --> 01:05:48,200 Speaker 28: military route without a settlement or peace deal, that is 1164 01:05:49,480 --> 01:05:53,080 Speaker 28: forestall some of our military action. They are finning out. 1165 01:05:53,160 --> 01:05:56,280 Speaker 28: Last night they conducted a very important mission on ammunition's 1166 01:05:56,760 --> 01:06:00,240 Speaker 28: depot that has been key to supplying Hesbela and the 1167 01:06:00,240 --> 01:06:04,440 Speaker 28: hoodies that takes out a major supply capability of Iran. 1168 01:06:04,520 --> 01:06:08,840 Speaker 28: After all, the internal areas that have been providing the 1169 01:06:08,920 --> 01:06:11,640 Speaker 28: Iran military with his assets were destroyed in the last week. 1170 01:06:11,720 --> 01:06:17,000 Speaker 28: So systematically we continue to reduce Iron's capabilities day by day. 1171 01:06:17,040 --> 01:06:18,880 Speaker 28: Now they still are a menace. They can be a 1172 01:06:18,960 --> 01:06:21,080 Speaker 28: lethal menace. They can still blow up a tanker here 1173 01:06:21,120 --> 01:06:23,560 Speaker 28: and there. They can launch a few missiles here and there, 1174 01:06:23,560 --> 01:06:27,480 Speaker 28: But increasingly their missile supply dwindles, their capability to make 1175 01:06:27,520 --> 01:06:31,040 Speaker 28: new missiles is less, and the less firepower they have, 1176 01:06:31,120 --> 01:06:33,440 Speaker 28: the more likely they are to make a deal. And 1177 01:06:33,480 --> 01:06:35,880 Speaker 28: I think that's the game that the US military is 1178 01:06:35,920 --> 01:06:39,840 Speaker 28: here now. A second dynamic is that the Golf allies, 1179 01:06:39,920 --> 01:06:43,040 Speaker 28: the Arab allies around Iran, which wasn't which weren't that 1180 01:06:43,120 --> 01:06:45,960 Speaker 28: excited about the start of this military operation, are now 1181 01:06:46,040 --> 01:06:48,240 Speaker 28: all in and actually telling the President go all the way, 1182 01:06:48,520 --> 01:06:52,080 Speaker 28: don't stop until you've humbled to humiliate it and dethroned Iron. 1183 01:06:52,200 --> 01:06:56,240 Speaker 28: And so the Iran has managed to make stronger allies 1184 01:06:56,280 --> 01:07:01,080 Speaker 28: for the US in this regime. Now, the straight of 1185 01:07:01,160 --> 01:07:03,680 Speaker 28: har Moves is the one stranglehold that Iron has. It's 1186 01:07:03,720 --> 01:07:06,560 Speaker 28: its most powerful weapon. It can get world prices up 1187 01:07:06,600 --> 01:07:10,040 Speaker 28: to six or seven or eight dollars gallon gallon six 1188 01:07:10,160 --> 01:07:11,440 Speaker 28: or eight dollars a gallon of gas. 1189 01:07:11,440 --> 01:07:11,680 Speaker 25: Soon. 1190 01:07:12,800 --> 01:07:13,560 Speaker 1: That's their play. 1191 01:07:13,760 --> 01:07:16,160 Speaker 28: The alternative is for the United States to ramp up, 1192 01:07:16,160 --> 01:07:18,920 Speaker 28: as I mentioned last week in Seedback, alternate routes to 1193 01:07:18,960 --> 01:07:23,080 Speaker 28: get massive amounts of natural gas and oil to Europe quickly. 1194 01:07:23,120 --> 01:07:26,439 Speaker 28: That is underway, and if this aster stretch into May, 1195 01:07:26,560 --> 01:07:29,440 Speaker 28: you'll begin to see relief from for those countries that 1196 01:07:29,520 --> 01:07:33,680 Speaker 28: accept American oil and American gas and American elergen. They'll 1197 01:07:33,720 --> 01:07:36,240 Speaker 28: make those moves. Those who want to hold out not 1198 01:07:36,400 --> 01:07:38,560 Speaker 28: take US oil, or they're going to see their prices 1199 01:07:38,640 --> 01:07:41,960 Speaker 28: keep growing up. But I think this is probably on 1200 01:07:42,680 --> 01:07:45,480 Speaker 28: course for a mid May military operation. You could stop sooner, 1201 01:07:46,000 --> 01:07:49,400 Speaker 28: but the current strategic map shows that they can flaten 1202 01:07:49,400 --> 01:07:53,360 Speaker 28: aomous everything and anything they want by by the time 1203 01:07:53,400 --> 01:07:54,360 Speaker 28: mid May rolls around. 1204 01:07:55,960 --> 01:07:56,240 Speaker 3: John. 1205 01:07:56,320 --> 01:07:58,680 Speaker 5: So much of our focus is on Iran right now, 1206 01:07:58,720 --> 01:08:02,000 Speaker 5: but there's also a lot happen on Capitol Hill, specifically 1207 01:08:02,400 --> 01:08:05,720 Speaker 5: related to allegations of let's just put it like this, 1208 01:08:05,960 --> 01:08:09,000 Speaker 5: tampering when it comes to the Biden administration. Take me 1209 01:08:09,080 --> 01:08:11,560 Speaker 5: behind the scenes on this just the news headline. I'm 1210 01:08:11,560 --> 01:08:14,160 Speaker 5: reading it here on your website, says Garland, aware of 1211 01:08:14,240 --> 01:08:18,040 Speaker 5: Jack Smith's efforts to pierce legal privileges in pursuing Trump. 1212 01:08:18,320 --> 01:08:23,120 Speaker 5: Minimio suggests the headline itself, I think speaks volumes. 1213 01:08:23,320 --> 01:08:24,680 Speaker 3: But the bigger question. 1214 01:08:24,520 --> 01:08:27,400 Speaker 5: Is is anything really going to come of these investigations? 1215 01:08:27,560 --> 01:08:29,439 Speaker 3: Our head's going to roll? Is anyone going to be 1216 01:08:29,479 --> 01:08:30,639 Speaker 3: held accountable? John? 1217 01:08:31,240 --> 01:08:34,479 Speaker 28: Yeah, great questions. So first let's explain the headline. For 1218 01:08:34,520 --> 01:08:37,400 Speaker 28: a long time, we've wondered, we know what now Jack Smith? 1219 01:08:37,439 --> 01:08:37,599 Speaker 6: Did? 1220 01:08:37,600 --> 01:08:37,800 Speaker 16: We know? 1221 01:08:37,840 --> 01:08:41,080 Speaker 28: He went after fourteen fifteen sixteen members of Congress, took 1222 01:08:41,120 --> 01:08:44,360 Speaker 28: their phone records, did other things to gain access to 1223 01:08:44,439 --> 01:08:48,640 Speaker 28: what is constitutionally protected congressional materials. The second thing we 1224 01:08:48,720 --> 01:08:52,360 Speaker 28: know is that they obtained the law records several of 1225 01:08:52,400 --> 01:08:55,719 Speaker 28: President Trump's lawyers, even though there's in their attorney client privilege, 1226 01:08:55,760 --> 01:08:58,679 Speaker 28: so congressional privilege, legal privilege were pierced. 1227 01:08:58,720 --> 01:08:59,520 Speaker 3: It was pretty. 1228 01:08:59,320 --> 01:09:02,280 Speaker 28: Unprecedented the scope of this. Now, keep in mind, nearly 1229 01:09:02,360 --> 01:09:07,439 Speaker 28: every lawyer that had their legal privilege prayers to every 1230 01:09:07,760 --> 01:09:10,680 Speaker 28: member of Congress that had their congressional privilege perer. They 1231 01:09:10,680 --> 01:09:13,080 Speaker 28: were never charged with any wrongdoing. In other words, they 1232 01:09:13,080 --> 01:09:18,639 Speaker 28: were innocent. The question has lingered, who knew what and when. 1233 01:09:18,680 --> 01:09:21,479 Speaker 28: And we now know from new documents that Senator Ron 1234 01:09:21,520 --> 01:09:25,280 Speaker 28: Johnson and Chuck Grassey provided last week that Merrick Garland 1235 01:09:25,360 --> 01:09:28,000 Speaker 28: was briefed in in January twenty twenty three, at the 1236 01:09:28,000 --> 01:09:30,240 Speaker 28: start of the twenty twenty four election cycle, that's when 1237 01:09:30,439 --> 01:09:33,679 Speaker 28: the kickoff the presidential season starts, that they were doing 1238 01:09:33,720 --> 01:09:36,879 Speaker 28: these very things that they were going after members of Congress. Garland, 1239 01:09:36,880 --> 01:09:40,479 Speaker 28: according to the briefing memo, was told that these members 1240 01:09:40,479 --> 01:09:43,320 Speaker 28: of Congress and these lawyers had very good arguments for privilege, 1241 01:09:43,560 --> 01:09:46,520 Speaker 28: but the Justice Department was going to try to pierce them. Anyways. 1242 01:09:46,840 --> 01:09:49,960 Speaker 28: That is a very significant document. It means that Merrick 1243 01:09:49,960 --> 01:09:52,519 Speaker 28: Garland was at the head and at the approval site 1244 01:09:53,000 --> 01:09:55,640 Speaker 28: or at the approval pole position for a lot of 1245 01:09:55,680 --> 01:09:58,280 Speaker 28: the most controversial tactics that occurred. He was in the know. 1246 01:09:58,680 --> 01:10:00,640 Speaker 28: It wasn't as though the prosecute it was going on 1247 01:10:00,680 --> 01:10:03,120 Speaker 28: his own and being a road prosecutor. That is a 1248 01:10:03,280 --> 01:10:06,400 Speaker 28: very important element as we learn more and more about this, 1249 01:10:06,760 --> 01:10:10,000 Speaker 28: Will heads roll, I think the first question is Will 1250 01:10:10,080 --> 01:10:12,799 Speaker 28: John Brennan's head roll first, And I think right now 1251 01:10:13,280 --> 01:10:16,040 Speaker 28: the grand jury in Florida is in the final stages 1252 01:10:16,040 --> 01:10:18,920 Speaker 28: of deciding whether the charge John Brennan going all the 1253 01:10:18,960 --> 01:10:21,400 Speaker 28: way back to the Russia collusion case. If that first 1254 01:10:21,479 --> 01:10:24,800 Speaker 28: chip falls, if the materials at the House and Senate 1255 01:10:24,920 --> 01:10:28,880 Speaker 28: just transmitted to the grand jury are enough to get 1256 01:10:28,920 --> 01:10:31,080 Speaker 28: an indictment, that is the beginning of I think a 1257 01:10:31,160 --> 01:10:34,400 Speaker 28: series of dominoes. After that. There are some FBI personnel 1258 01:10:34,400 --> 01:10:37,000 Speaker 28: who are involved in the seizure of phone records of 1259 01:10:37,000 --> 01:10:40,080 Speaker 28: Susie Wiles, Cash Mattel, and they could be next. And 1260 01:10:40,080 --> 01:10:41,960 Speaker 28: then I think you'd start to see a cast gtting case. 1261 01:10:42,000 --> 01:10:44,880 Speaker 28: And once a few people plead guilty, there's an opportunity 1262 01:10:45,360 --> 01:10:47,800 Speaker 28: to make deals and roll up to the top of 1263 01:10:47,800 --> 01:10:50,320 Speaker 28: the food chain in these four big scandals that we've 1264 01:10:50,320 --> 01:10:50,839 Speaker 28: been covering. 1265 01:10:51,160 --> 01:10:53,600 Speaker 7: And John, would that be a conspiracy? 1266 01:10:54,840 --> 01:10:57,680 Speaker 28: Yeah, So the primary case when they after they roll 1267 01:10:57,760 --> 01:10:59,920 Speaker 28: up some cooperating witness I think the first witnesses get 1268 01:11:00,560 --> 01:11:03,120 Speaker 28: those singular cases you lied in twenty twenty three year 1269 01:11:03,160 --> 01:11:05,360 Speaker 28: and dot that you did this made a false application, 1270 01:11:05,400 --> 01:11:08,120 Speaker 28: You're gonna get Once they get some cooperating witnesses, then 1271 01:11:08,160 --> 01:11:11,000 Speaker 28: the goal is a conspiracy case. The conspiracy would be 1272 01:11:11,040 --> 01:11:13,960 Speaker 28: to violate President Trump's ce celebrities and those of his 1273 01:11:14,080 --> 01:11:18,600 Speaker 28: followers with unauthorized or unpredicated or improper investigation. 1274 01:11:19,240 --> 01:11:23,160 Speaker 7: We'll be watching so well, Josh, thanks. 1275 01:11:23,040 --> 01:11:25,519 Speaker 1: So much for Thank you, Thank you, John.

The details after the break. 1284 01:11:51,800 --> 01:11:54,759 Speaker 13: The break, we listen closing, Freedom may free. We gotta 1285 01:11:54,920 --> 01:11:58,920 Speaker 13: God gat day on the dreamers in it, go with 1286 01:11:59,240 --> 01:11:59,720 Speaker 13: Fay home. 1287 01:12:00,000 --> 01:12:02,519 Speaker 3: Ain't no hate in my heart, there are no division 1288 01:12:02,600 --> 01:12:03,200 Speaker 3: in my face. 1289 01:12:03,280 --> 01:12:16,200 Speaker 8: We fight for to seld the. 1290 01:12:15,720 --> 01:12:15,960 Speaker 3: Good. 1291 01:12:16,000 --> 01:12:18,920 Speaker 5: Tuesday morning to you and welcome back to American Sunrise. 1292 01:12:19,240 --> 01:12:21,639 Speaker 5: It's now time to drain the swamp in this morning, 1293 01:12:21,920 --> 01:12:26,320 Speaker 5: we're flushing out New York Congress from an Alexandria Ocasio Cortes. 1294 01:12:27,000 --> 01:12:30,559 Speaker 5: A watchdog group has recently filed a formal complaint about 1295 01:12:30,640 --> 01:12:32,400 Speaker 5: AOC's campaign spending. 1296 01:12:32,880 --> 01:12:34,040 Speaker 3: The complaint, which was. 1297 01:12:34,000 --> 01:12:36,879 Speaker 5: Filed with the federal Election Commission and the House Ethics 1298 01:12:36,880 --> 01:12:41,240 Speaker 5: Officials alleges that nearly nineteen thousand dollars in campaign funds 1299 01:12:41,560 --> 01:12:45,600 Speaker 5: were spent on what was listed as leadership training and consulting, 1300 01:12:46,160 --> 01:12:49,479 Speaker 5: but that money may have actually gone to a doctor 1301 01:12:49,760 --> 01:12:54,559 Speaker 5: who provides ketamine based therapy. If true, critics say that 1302 01:12:54,600 --> 01:12:57,760 Speaker 5: could raise serious questions about whether campaign money was used 1303 01:12:57,800 --> 01:13:02,240 Speaker 5: for personal services, which of course were violate federal election rules. 1304 01:13:02,640 --> 01:13:05,439 Speaker 5: For more, let's bring in David Brody and Alison Hans 1305 01:13:05,479 --> 01:13:08,120 Speaker 5: to discuss. David, I actually had to do some research 1306 01:13:08,160 --> 01:13:10,879 Speaker 5: because I didn't know what Kenneman treatment with ketamine treatment 1307 01:13:10,960 --> 01:13:14,080 Speaker 5: was used for, and apparently it's used to treat depression 1308 01:13:14,120 --> 01:13:20,840 Speaker 5: as well as chronic pain, some chronic pain excuse me issues. 1309 01:13:21,080 --> 01:13:24,679 Speaker 5: So kind of interesting how all of this is playing out. 1310 01:13:24,840 --> 01:13:27,439 Speaker 5: How do you think it will ultimately end for AOC. 1311 01:13:28,880 --> 01:13:30,560 Speaker 1: I'm not quite sure. I don't think it's going to 1312 01:13:30,560 --> 01:13:32,920 Speaker 1: probably mount to anything, but yeah, I had to do 1313 01:13:32,960 --> 01:13:37,840 Speaker 1: some research too, and add to that anxiety stress PTSD 1314 01:13:38,080 --> 01:13:40,200 Speaker 1: all of that. So if you think about it, maybe 1315 01:13:40,200 --> 01:13:43,519 Speaker 1: it was a consulting actual gig, you know, as in 1316 01:13:43,600 --> 01:13:50,240 Speaker 1: Trump arrangement syndrome. Maybe maybe her staff needed this psychiatrist 1317 01:13:50,360 --> 01:13:52,519 Speaker 1: help to get through the Trump years. I don't know, 1318 01:13:53,320 --> 01:13:56,360 Speaker 1: but clearly this doesn't seem like a consulting fee as 1319 01:13:56,439 --> 01:14:02,080 Speaker 1: much as it does possibly more into the interpersonal situation. 1320 01:14:02,280 --> 01:14:04,960 Speaker 1: So I don't know, Allison, We'll see, but it seems 1321 01:14:05,000 --> 01:14:07,280 Speaker 1: to it could be Trump arrangement syndrome related. 1322 01:14:08,600 --> 01:14:10,920 Speaker 7: Possibly. Yeah, I'm not too worried about this story. I 1323 01:14:10,920 --> 01:14:14,559 Speaker 7: don't think it has too much legs. Nineteen thousand dollars. 1324 01:14:14,640 --> 01:14:18,720 Speaker 7: It's weird that it was spent on ketamine. My concerns 1325 01:14:18,760 --> 01:14:23,160 Speaker 7: with AOC have to do with her personality and leadership 1326 01:14:23,600 --> 01:14:27,960 Speaker 7: and her smarts and the fact that she is even 1327 01:14:28,479 --> 01:14:33,160 Speaker 7: discussed as someone in contention for the White House. That 1328 01:14:34,160 --> 01:14:38,320 Speaker 7: scares the living Jesus out of me. And I think 1329 01:14:38,360 --> 01:14:43,880 Speaker 7: it's a question of her being exposed on many levels, 1330 01:14:43,880 --> 01:14:47,439 Speaker 7: and I hope that that happens in the next couple 1331 01:14:47,439 --> 01:14:52,559 Speaker 7: of years, because people are very gullible and people follow 1332 01:14:52,600 --> 01:14:58,240 Speaker 7: personalities and popularity, and that's what really concerns me about 1333 01:14:58,280 --> 01:15:01,920 Speaker 7: this woman right now, that people will blindly follow someone 1334 01:15:02,439 --> 01:15:02,760 Speaker 7: like her. 1335 01:15:03,640 --> 01:15:06,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, she's still in Germany. She's still in Germany, by 1336 01:15:06,400 --> 01:15:10,720 Speaker 1: the way. Trying to answer that Taiwan question, Horde right. 1337 01:15:10,800 --> 01:15:12,640 Speaker 5: She was caught on the corner of Munich trying to 1338 01:15:12,640 --> 01:15:15,080 Speaker 5: ask people what they think about Taiwan, to try to 1339 01:15:15,080 --> 01:15:19,040 Speaker 5: bring back an answer. You know, this is one of 1340 01:15:19,040 --> 01:15:23,120 Speaker 5: those stories. It keeps her in the headlines. But I 1341 01:15:23,160 --> 01:15:27,839 Speaker 5: guess one could argue, fortunately, unfortunately it's not a substantive issue, 1342 01:15:28,000 --> 01:15:31,200 Speaker 5: Like she's not in the headlines because she's saying something smart, 1343 01:15:31,240 --> 01:15:34,920 Speaker 5: because she's got this interesting policy position. She's in the 1344 01:15:34,960 --> 01:15:38,519 Speaker 5: headlines because there are questions about how she's spending campaign 1345 01:15:38,600 --> 01:15:39,759 Speaker 5: money and ketamine treatment. 1346 01:15:39,880 --> 01:15:42,160 Speaker 3: So I think that speaks volumes. 1347 01:15:42,040 --> 01:15:45,280 Speaker 5: Still to come here on American Sunrise, a one point 1348 01:15:45,360 --> 01:15:49,280 Speaker 5: five million dollar home stolen in a fake sale, how 1349 01:15:49,360 --> 01:15:52,400 Speaker 5: investigators say a group of fraudsters pulled it all off, 1350 01:15:52,680 --> 01:15:55,000 Speaker 5: and why it can happen to any homeowner. 1351 01:15:55,240 --> 01:15:56,680 Speaker 3: The story is next. 1352 01:16:08,880 --> 01:16:11,519 Speaker 4: At Real America's Voice.

By the way, all right, let's just move on. 1391 01:17:55,640 --> 01:17:59,200 Speaker 1: We're following a stunning real estate fraud case out of California. 1392 01:17:59,280 --> 01:18:02,360 Speaker 1: So check this out. A homeowner lost a one point 1393 01:18:02,400 --> 01:18:05,960 Speaker 1: five million dollar house in a completely faked sale, totally fake, 1394 01:18:06,280 --> 01:18:12,440 Speaker 1: fake news. Authorities say the scheme use stolen identities, forged documents, 1395 01:18:12,640 --> 01:18:16,040 Speaker 1: and a licensed real estate broker who controlled escrow and 1396 01:18:16,080 --> 01:18:19,759 Speaker 1: allegedly represented both sides. So prosecutors say the group secured 1397 01:18:19,840 --> 01:18:23,440 Speaker 1: nearly nine hundred and seventy five thousand dollars in fraudulent 1398 01:18:23,560 --> 01:18:28,719 Speaker 1: loan funds, leaving multiple victims, including the homeowner, the buyer 1399 01:18:28,840 --> 01:18:32,160 Speaker 1: stuck with the mortgage, and even the lender and title company. 1400 01:18:32,479 --> 01:18:35,320 Speaker 1: Three suspects, by the way, in custody. One remains at large. 1401 01:18:35,479 --> 01:18:39,360 Speaker 1: The investigation is ongoing. Joining us now with more is 1402 01:18:39,439 --> 01:18:43,080 Speaker 1: former FBI agent and current licensed private investigator Tom Simon. 1403 01:18:43,640 --> 01:18:46,880 Speaker 1: Tom good, to have you back with us. I mean, what, 1404 01:18:47,520 --> 01:18:50,880 Speaker 1: how are the suspects able to use the escrow process 1405 01:18:50,920 --> 01:18:53,960 Speaker 1: to make this look legitimate. I mean, this is like 1406 01:18:54,120 --> 01:18:56,400 Speaker 1: major warning stuff here for everybody. 1407 01:18:56,400 --> 01:18:58,200 Speaker 25: This is thanks for having me on. This is an 1408 01:18:58,240 --> 01:19:00,920 Speaker 25: amazing case from my perspective. At the eye of the 1409 01:19:00,920 --> 01:19:04,320 Speaker 25: storm is a realtor named Glennis Cardona who worked with 1410 01:19:04,400 --> 01:19:08,200 Speaker 25: three co conspirators to steal this home in Burbank, California 1411 01:19:08,240 --> 01:19:10,439 Speaker 25: that was worth one point five million dollars. 1412 01:19:10,800 --> 01:19:11,680 Speaker 3: So what she did was she. 1413 01:19:11,720 --> 01:19:15,759 Speaker 25: Orchestrated the sale from an unknowing from this unknowing owner 1414 01:19:16,080 --> 01:19:19,519 Speaker 25: to the stolen identity of an unwitting buyer, and she 1415 01:19:19,680 --> 01:19:21,759 Speaker 25: orchestrated it. So there was a nine hundred and seventy 1416 01:19:21,760 --> 01:19:24,920 Speaker 25: five thousand dollars loan for this home sale from a 1417 01:19:25,000 --> 01:19:30,160 Speaker 25: lender and bolstered by forged documents forged deeds filed with 1418 01:19:30,160 --> 01:19:33,120 Speaker 25: the county Clerk's office. And so the trick is that 1419 01:19:33,160 --> 01:19:37,000 Speaker 25: she was the escrow agent for the transaction. So when 1420 01:19:37,000 --> 01:19:39,559 Speaker 25: the lender sent the money to escrow, Glennis and her 1421 01:19:39,560 --> 01:19:41,800 Speaker 25: co conspirators just split the money. So, as you said 1422 01:19:41,840 --> 01:19:44,559 Speaker 25: in the introduction, we have a homeowner who never consented 1423 01:19:44,600 --> 01:19:46,759 Speaker 25: to the sale of his house. We have an unwitting 1424 01:19:46,800 --> 01:19:50,519 Speaker 25: home purchaser who's now saddled with a million dollars in debt, 1425 01:19:50,640 --> 01:19:52,960 Speaker 25: and we have two lenders who aren't getting paid back 1426 01:19:53,000 --> 01:19:55,479 Speaker 25: for the money that they lent, and a title company 1427 01:19:55,479 --> 01:19:59,240 Speaker 25: that unwittingly ensured the transfer of this title from the 1428 01:19:59,320 --> 01:19:59,960 Speaker 25: seller to the boy. 1429 01:20:01,200 --> 01:20:04,240 Speaker 1: Okay, so time out here. I mean what red flags? 1430 01:20:04,760 --> 01:20:07,680 Speaker 1: I mean, if any should have been caught by lenders 1431 01:20:07,800 --> 01:20:10,559 Speaker 1: or title companies or like, like what you're in that 1432 01:20:10,640 --> 01:20:13,880 Speaker 1: situation that, like, what's what are the red flags here? 1433 01:20:13,920 --> 01:20:15,760 Speaker 1: I mean, how do you how do you help folks here? 1434 01:20:16,479 --> 01:20:19,080 Speaker 25: Well, as soon as somebody's transferring the title of your 1435 01:20:19,160 --> 01:20:21,920 Speaker 25: home from your name to someone else's name, I need 1436 01:20:21,960 --> 01:20:24,679 Speaker 25: to keep an eye on the county clerk's office, who 1437 01:20:24,720 --> 01:20:27,160 Speaker 25: keeps an official record of the title your home. The 1438 01:20:27,240 --> 01:20:29,840 Speaker 25: problem is most homeowners don't do that, which is why 1439 01:20:29,880 --> 01:20:33,280 Speaker 25: obviously we advocate a service called home Title Lock that 1440 01:20:33,320 --> 01:20:36,000 Speaker 25: will monitor it for you and notify you if something 1441 01:20:36,040 --> 01:20:36,760 Speaker 25: goes sideways. 1442 01:20:37,520 --> 01:20:39,559 Speaker 1: Yeah, so talk a little bit more about that because 1443 01:20:39,800 --> 01:20:42,920 Speaker 1: home Title Lock definitely helps victims in this situation. Take 1444 01:20:43,000 --> 01:20:45,120 Speaker 1: us through this a little bit in terms of what 1445 01:20:45,160 --> 01:20:47,599 Speaker 1: they do and how people get more information here. 1446 01:20:48,200 --> 01:20:50,360 Speaker 25: Sure, so, my former colleagues at the FBI, you know, 1447 01:20:50,360 --> 01:20:52,640 Speaker 25: put this criminal case together, and the bad guys are 1448 01:20:52,640 --> 01:20:53,960 Speaker 25: going to end up going to prison. That's the way 1449 01:20:54,000 --> 01:20:56,840 Speaker 25: it always turns out. The problem is that process, that 1450 01:20:56,920 --> 01:21:00,360 Speaker 25: criminal process does not restore the ownership of the home 1451 01:21:00,640 --> 01:21:03,639 Speaker 25: to the original victim in this case, the homeowner, and 1452 01:21:03,720 --> 01:21:07,040 Speaker 25: so home title lock. In addition to monitoring your home 1453 01:21:07,080 --> 01:21:09,840 Speaker 25: title notifying you if something goes wrong, they have a 1454 01:21:09,960 --> 01:21:12,479 Speaker 25: US based restoration team that's going to spend a million 1455 01:21:12,520 --> 01:21:14,840 Speaker 25: dollars in legal fees if that's what it takes to 1456 01:21:14,880 --> 01:21:16,640 Speaker 25: get that home back into your name, and it's not 1457 01:21:16,640 --> 01:21:17,679 Speaker 25: going to cost you a dime. 1458 01:21:19,080 --> 01:21:22,559 Speaker 1: Tom, tell us how widespread this is, because you know, 1459 01:21:22,600 --> 01:21:25,280 Speaker 1: we've talked about home title lock before in terms of 1460 01:21:25,320 --> 01:21:28,920 Speaker 1: it being vital. I mean, this is not just something 1461 01:21:28,960 --> 01:21:31,240 Speaker 1: that happens once in a blue moon.

That story is next. 1518 01:24:00,080 --> 01:24:01,120 Speaker 14: A lot of you standing with me. 1519 01:24:01,400 --> 01:24:02,320 Speaker 2: Cover US America. 1520 01:24:02,680 --> 01:24:06,439 Speaker 13: Come with the Brave Father, the USA Covers America waits 1521 01:24:06,520 --> 01:24:08,519 Speaker 13: Madrion Her Don't care if you say it's the word 1522 01:24:08,720 --> 01:24:10,720 Speaker 13: Cover US America, the Children. 1523 01:24:10,439 --> 01:24:11,320 Speaker 14: The last bonny. 1524 01:24:20,760 --> 01:24:23,960 Speaker 7: Welcome back to American Sunrise. I'm Alison Hans. Thanks so 1525 01:24:24,080 --> 01:24:26,200 Speaker 7: much for joining us this morning. We invite you to 1526 01:24:26,360 --> 01:24:30,320 Speaker 7: join the conversation on Getter and Rumble. Time now to 1527 01:24:30,640 --> 01:24:34,320 Speaker 7: take the political pulse of America the beat today well. 1528 01:24:34,439 --> 01:24:38,040 Speaker 7: According to a new Rasmussen Report survey, more than three 1529 01:24:38,200 --> 01:24:41,920 Speaker 7: quarters of likely US voters say they are concerned about 1530 01:24:42,000 --> 01:24:46,360 Speaker 7: Iran cutting off oil supplies through the Strait, including nearly 1531 01:24:46,520 --> 01:24:50,559 Speaker 7: half who say they are very concerned, and that concern 1532 01:24:50,920 --> 01:24:54,280 Speaker 7: isn't just theoretical. The Strait of Hormuz is one of 1533 01:24:54,360 --> 01:24:57,600 Speaker 7: the most critical energy choke points in the world, with 1534 01:24:57,800 --> 01:25:02,400 Speaker 7: roughly twenty percent of global oil supply passing through it. 1535 01:25:02,920 --> 01:25:08,639 Speaker 7: Any prolonged shutdown could send gas prices surging, driving inflation higher, 1536 01:25:08,840 --> 01:25:12,960 Speaker 7: and impact economies around the globe. In fact, about three 1537 01:25:13,040 --> 01:25:15,920 Speaker 7: and four voters believe a disruption there would have serious 1538 01:25:16,040 --> 01:25:19,920 Speaker 7: negative effects on the US economy. And joining us now 1539 01:25:20,120 --> 01:25:23,680 Speaker 7: with analysis is the host of America Voice Live and 1540 01:25:23,840 --> 01:25:27,760 Speaker 7: the Steve Gruber Shows. Steve Now, I wanted to open 1541 01:25:27,840 --> 01:25:31,919 Speaker 7: this with this point, Steve, because I think it's important 1542 01:25:32,200 --> 01:25:35,840 Speaker 7: I understand. While people are worried about gas prices, I 1543 01:25:35,920 --> 01:25:38,160 Speaker 7: think we have to realize that the truth is that 1544 01:25:38,360 --> 01:25:42,960 Speaker 7: while the strait of hermose is critical globally, the United 1545 01:25:42,960 --> 01:25:46,240 Speaker 7: States is far less directly dependent on that oil than 1546 01:25:46,280 --> 01:25:49,599 Speaker 7: Europe and Asia. And that's because we've moved much closer 1547 01:25:49,960 --> 01:25:51,680 Speaker 7: to energy independence. 1548 01:25:51,960 --> 01:25:55,040 Speaker 11: Your thoughts, that's true. 1549 01:25:55,200 --> 01:25:57,360 Speaker 30: You know, here's the problem with the price of oil 1550 01:25:57,400 --> 01:26:00,719 Speaker 30: one hundred and three dollars as we speak. The problem 1551 01:26:00,920 --> 01:26:03,479 Speaker 30: is that the gas prices have risen considerably higher than 1552 01:26:03,520 --> 01:26:06,240 Speaker 30: they should have based on the price of oil. According 1553 01:26:06,240 --> 01:26:08,600 Speaker 30: to all the research I've done, which is considerable, the 1554 01:26:08,640 --> 01:26:10,400 Speaker 30: price of a gallon of gas goes up twenty five 1555 01:26:10,520 --> 01:26:13,639 Speaker 30: cents roughly for each ten dollars a barrel of oil increases. 1556 01:26:13,760 --> 01:26:18,280 Speaker 11: So we've gone up what thirty eight dollars from the 1557 01:26:18,320 --> 01:26:18,680 Speaker 11: low at. 1558 01:26:18,640 --> 01:26:21,160 Speaker 30: Sixty seven before the war started to about one hundred 1559 01:26:21,160 --> 01:26:24,640 Speaker 30: and three today. So the price of gasoline should be 1560 01:26:24,760 --> 01:26:27,320 Speaker 30: up eighty five cents, And yet in some places it's 1561 01:26:27,400 --> 01:26:30,160 Speaker 30: up a dollar fifty. That leads me to believe that 1562 01:26:30,240 --> 01:26:32,639 Speaker 30: speculators and oil companies are making a lot of money 1563 01:26:32,720 --> 01:26:35,960 Speaker 30: today at your expense. That will push inflation, and it 1564 01:26:36,000 --> 01:26:38,760 Speaker 30: will push prices up. But the problem is it's not 1565 01:26:38,920 --> 01:26:41,760 Speaker 30: mathematically natural what we're seeing here. It's being pushed by 1566 01:26:41,840 --> 01:26:45,040 Speaker 30: speculators and fear. And therefore I think Donald Trump should 1567 01:26:45,120 --> 01:26:46,800 Speaker 30: use the red phone in the Oval Office and call 1568 01:26:46,840 --> 01:26:48,479 Speaker 30: the oil companies and say, what the hell are you doing. 1569 01:26:49,600 --> 01:26:52,280 Speaker 30: In connection with that, the state of Harmuz had eleven 1570 01:26:52,360 --> 01:26:54,880 Speaker 30: oil tankers go through yesterday, from what I understand ten 1571 01:26:54,920 --> 01:26:55,880 Speaker 30: a couple of days before that. 1572 01:26:56,080 --> 01:26:59,160 Speaker 11: So if that's accurate, and we're going to assume that 1573 01:26:59,280 --> 01:27:00,479 Speaker 11: it is, then the. 1574 01:27:00,479 --> 01:27:02,200 Speaker 30: Amount of oil going through the State of Hermoses and 1575 01:27:02,240 --> 01:27:04,280 Speaker 30: now at about fifty percent of what it was prior 1576 01:27:04,320 --> 01:27:07,559 Speaker 30: to the war. So only ten percent of the world's 1577 01:27:07,560 --> 01:27:10,240 Speaker 30: oil supply is now being impacted, and yet prices continued 1578 01:27:10,280 --> 01:27:12,559 Speaker 30: to surge. What does that tell you somebody is making 1579 01:27:12,640 --> 01:27:15,160 Speaker 30: a pile of money. We might want to ask Nancy 1580 01:27:15,200 --> 01:27:17,479 Speaker 30: Pelosi if she got in on that early, because you know, 1581 01:27:17,960 --> 01:27:19,920 Speaker 30: she's a pretty good forecaster of the future. 1582 01:27:21,280 --> 01:27:23,080 Speaker 1: That is for sure. By the way. Why is the 1583 01:27:23,120 --> 01:27:26,160 Speaker 1: phone always read? But that's a separate issue. I don't know. 1584 01:27:26,640 --> 01:27:30,599 Speaker 1: That's where my mind went. All right, what's phone? 1585 01:27:30,800 --> 01:27:30,920 Speaker 13: Hi? 1586 01:27:31,360 --> 01:27:31,880 Speaker 11: Red phone? 1587 01:27:32,600 --> 01:27:32,760 Speaker 8: Yeah? 1588 01:27:32,800 --> 01:27:34,360 Speaker 1: I got the red phone? Will you take my call? 1589 01:27:34,400 --> 01:27:38,160 Speaker 1: At three am? Hillary won't? Hllary won't. By the way, 1590 01:27:39,160 --> 01:27:42,960 Speaker 1: all right, so let's talk about Trump's truth social post. 1591 01:27:43,000 --> 01:27:44,760 Speaker 1: Should we put this up here on the screen and 1592 01:27:44,800 --> 01:27:47,080 Speaker 1: I'll just read it. Why the heck? Why the heck not? 1593 01:27:47,240 --> 01:27:50,120 Speaker 1: He's basically telling the UK and others to go get 1594 01:27:50,160 --> 01:27:53,240 Speaker 1: the oil. Here it is. I'll read it for everybody 1595 01:27:53,320 --> 01:27:55,519 Speaker 1: since we haven't put it up yet today in the show. 1596 01:27:55,560 --> 01:27:57,200 Speaker 1: But he put this out in the last thirty minutes 1597 01:27:57,280 --> 01:27:59,519 Speaker 1: or so or an hour. All of those countries they 1598 01:27:59,560 --> 01:28:01,519 Speaker 1: can't get you fuel because of the strait of horror 1599 01:28:01,560 --> 01:28:03,880 Speaker 1: moves like the United Kingdom, which refused to get involved 1600 01:28:03,920 --> 01:28:06,519 Speaker 1: in the decapitation of Iran. Have a suggestion for you, 1601 01:28:06,720 --> 01:28:08,320 Speaker 1: you like, by the way, hele, I'm doing it like 1602 01:28:08,400 --> 01:28:12,200 Speaker 1: with like like some attitude.

Iran has been essentially decimated. 1609 01:28:25,400 --> 01:28:27,280 Speaker 1: The hard part is done. I love this part.

Look, the United Nations is a 1644 01:29:54,320 --> 01:29:58,120 Speaker 30: failed operation, has been since after World War Two. NATO 1645 01:29:58,280 --> 01:30:00,760 Speaker 30: has not proven me much of a an alliance in 1646 01:30:00,840 --> 01:30:03,879 Speaker 30: recent years. We've been putting the bill providing the equipment 1647 01:30:04,000 --> 01:30:07,519 Speaker 30: and the manpower time and time again. Maybe he's not 1648 01:30:07,640 --> 01:30:09,679 Speaker 30: wrong to shake things up. Go get your own damn oil. 1649 01:30:09,840 --> 01:30:11,040 Speaker 30: Maybe he's not wrong about that. 1650 01:30:11,200 --> 01:30:15,320 Speaker 5: Huh, you know what, let's let's let's continue to beat 1651 01:30:15,400 --> 01:30:20,280 Speaker 5: that horse. Steve, because the reality is I'm going to 1652 01:30:20,360 --> 01:30:23,880 Speaker 5: go there. I think you're spot on, and I'm wondering 1653 01:30:23,920 --> 01:30:27,200 Speaker 5: if we're at a crossroads. President Trump is pretty much said, 1654 01:30:27,600 --> 01:30:29,600 Speaker 5: when you needed us, we're there for you. When we 1655 01:30:29,720 --> 01:30:31,719 Speaker 5: need you, you nowhere to be found. 1656 01:30:32,520 --> 01:30:32,760 Speaker 7: You know. 1657 01:30:34,360 --> 01:30:37,800 Speaker 3: That's telling. Let's just be honest. It's telling. It speaks volumes, 1658 01:30:39,479 --> 01:30:39,880 Speaker 3: it does. 1659 01:30:40,040 --> 01:30:41,960 Speaker 30: And look, we've got some work to do in Iron 1660 01:30:42,040 --> 01:30:44,240 Speaker 30: Still they're not going to help us. But if they 1661 01:30:44,320 --> 01:30:46,400 Speaker 30: want to help, we heard the twenty countries are ready 1662 01:30:46,400 --> 01:30:48,200 Speaker 30: to help keep the straight of harmous open. 1663 01:30:48,240 --> 01:30:51,080 Speaker 11: Well, then get there, work with us and get this done. 1664 01:30:51,160 --> 01:30:53,200 Speaker 30: Because that way we can supply not our oil, we 1665 01:30:53,280 --> 01:30:55,160 Speaker 30: get two percent of our earth in the Middle East. 1666 01:30:55,200 --> 01:30:56,639 Speaker 11: But it is a world commodity. 1667 01:30:56,760 --> 01:31:00,840 Speaker 30: So therefore, when the supply is impacted, the price impacted here, 1668 01:31:01,040 --> 01:31:02,719 Speaker 30: just like any other worldwide commodity. 1669 01:31:03,360 --> 01:31:04,080 Speaker 11: That's the way it is. 1670 01:31:04,439 --> 01:31:08,400 Speaker 30: And look, Donald Trump has told NATO you have to 1671 01:31:08,439 --> 01:31:09,120 Speaker 30: pay your five. 1672 01:31:09,040 --> 01:31:11,719 Speaker 11: Percent or we're not gonna play anymore. 1673 01:31:12,040 --> 01:31:14,960 Speaker 30: Stop sending us the bill, stop demanding equipment from US. 1674 01:31:15,000 --> 01:31:18,040 Speaker 11: I mean, look, the UK can barely float in navy anymore. 1675 01:31:18,479 --> 01:31:21,320 Speaker 30: The UK couldn't defend that island anymore because they've had 1676 01:31:21,400 --> 01:31:24,240 Speaker 30: budget cuts, and they've had overspending, and they haven't done 1677 01:31:24,280 --> 01:31:26,400 Speaker 30: anything to build their navy or take care of their army. 1678 01:31:27,000 --> 01:31:30,280 Speaker 30: The only credible army in Europe anymore, maybe France, maybe, 1679 01:31:30,320 --> 01:31:32,639 Speaker 30: And I say that with a you know, a big 1680 01:31:32,760 --> 01:31:36,720 Speaker 30: underscore on that they couldn't defend themselves, which is why 1681 01:31:36,760 --> 01:31:39,320 Speaker 30: they demanded our help with Ukraine, because they realized, wait 1682 01:31:39,400 --> 01:31:42,000 Speaker 30: a second, guys, for fifty years, we haven't spent the money, 1683 01:31:42,320 --> 01:31:45,120 Speaker 30: we haven't recruited the people, we haven't invested in the technology, 1684 01:31:45,160 --> 01:31:47,439 Speaker 30: we haven't done what needs to be done to protect Europe. 1685 01:31:47,479 --> 01:31:50,639 Speaker 11: So we'll just rely on big brother. Well, big brother's 1686 01:31:50,640 --> 01:31:51,880 Speaker 11: sick about forking over the. 1687 01:31:51,960 --> 01:31:55,680 Speaker 30: Cash to his helpless, hapless little weasels in Europe. All right, 1688 01:31:55,760 --> 01:31:57,760 Speaker 30: So we're done with that, and you know what, I'm 1689 01:31:57,800 --> 01:32:01,280 Speaker 30: okay with a wake up call, perfectly, okay with it. 1690 01:32:01,640 --> 01:32:03,880 Speaker 11: Get your own oil. We've got plenty, thank you very much. 1691 01:32:04,160 --> 01:32:05,000 Speaker 11: You get your own now. 1692 01:32:05,600 --> 01:32:08,160 Speaker 30: We also need to continue to create more energy in 1693 01:32:08,200 --> 01:32:10,400 Speaker 30: this country, which the President is also doing, focusing on 1694 01:32:10,479 --> 01:32:14,440 Speaker 30: Alaska and Texas and Wyoming and all these places. California. 1695 01:32:14,720 --> 01:32:17,440 Speaker 30: The Defense Production Act called into effects so that California 1696 01:32:17,479 --> 01:32:20,160 Speaker 30: can be forced forced to start producing oil again. You know, 1697 01:32:20,240 --> 01:32:22,760 Speaker 30: California wants accounted for forty percent of the oil in 1698 01:32:22,880 --> 01:32:26,200 Speaker 30: this country. And because of all the tree huggers and 1699 01:32:26,280 --> 01:32:30,280 Speaker 30: bunny lovers, they stop doing that foolish behavior. It's time 1700 01:32:30,320 --> 01:32:32,040 Speaker 30: for the Defense Production Act. I'm glad he did that. 1701 01:32:32,360 --> 01:32:35,080 Speaker 30: He's making good steps here as far as the war goes, 1702 01:32:35,080 --> 01:32:37,519 Speaker 30: I don't know where this goes. Let's cut to the 1703 01:32:37,640 --> 01:32:39,439 Speaker 30: chase here. Could go on for a week or two 1704 01:32:39,640 --> 01:32:44,080 Speaker 30: or two months. Nobody knows, because those iranium supplies are 1705 01:32:44,120 --> 01:32:48,719 Speaker 30: still unaccounted for of enriched uranium? Do we want troops 1706 01:32:48,760 --> 01:32:51,439 Speaker 30: on the ground, No, But how else do you get 1707 01:32:51,439 --> 01:32:53,840 Speaker 30: the uranium? Some tough questions to be answered, asked and 1708 01:32:54,000 --> 01:32:54,679 Speaker 30: answered here. 1709 01:32:54,760 --> 01:32:58,280 Speaker 7: Absolutely well, Steve, Let's change gears now. A new lawsuit 1710 01:32:58,479 --> 01:33:02,679 Speaker 7: is taking aim at law enforcement's response to January sixth. 1711 01:33:03,200 --> 01:33:07,479 Speaker 7: Participants in the Capital demonstration are now seeking damages claiming 1712 01:33:07,560 --> 01:33:12,120 Speaker 7: police use excessive force, including chemical sprays and physical strikes 1713 01:33:12,280 --> 01:33:18,720 Speaker 7: against crowds on the grounds. Steve, how legally significant is 1714 01:33:18,800 --> 01:33:20,440 Speaker 7: this lawsuit? This is ridiculous. 1715 01:33:22,760 --> 01:33:25,000 Speaker 30: Legally significant, I don't know, but I do know that 1716 01:33:25,080 --> 01:33:28,360 Speaker 30: I saw in the videos that there were police up 1717 01:33:28,400 --> 01:33:31,840 Speaker 30: on the top of the Capitol Building firing rubber bullets 1718 01:33:31,880 --> 01:33:35,200 Speaker 30: and people. The video that still rings out to me 1719 01:33:35,360 --> 01:33:37,120 Speaker 30: is a guy that had his cheek torn wide open 1720 01:33:37,200 --> 01:33:39,759 Speaker 30: by a rubber bullet if it hit him in the face. 1721 01:33:39,880 --> 01:33:41,840 Speaker 30: And these are people, These are not armed people. They 1722 01:33:41,840 --> 01:33:45,960 Speaker 30: are people standing around in the crowd. They got shot. Look, 1723 01:33:46,000 --> 01:33:47,439 Speaker 30: the only people that make money on all of these 1724 01:33:47,479 --> 01:33:51,160 Speaker 30: things the lawyers. The lawyers always win. You know that 1725 01:33:51,280 --> 01:33:53,559 Speaker 30: they're going to win in this case. They're running billable 1726 01:33:53,600 --> 01:33:54,240 Speaker 30: hours right now. 1727 01:33:56,520 --> 01:33:58,719 Speaker 11: How vild was the lawsuit that? I'm not sure? 1728 01:33:58,840 --> 01:33:59,240 Speaker 19: But is it? 1729 01:34:00,280 --> 01:34:02,280 Speaker 11: Is it valid? On its face? Yeah? 1730 01:34:02,680 --> 01:34:06,320 Speaker 30: When I remember the guy bloody here and they're throwing 1731 01:34:06,360 --> 01:34:08,800 Speaker 30: tear gas into the crowd and doing things that it 1732 01:34:08,920 --> 01:34:13,800 Speaker 30: seemed provocative to me to stir the crowd up. The 1733 01:34:13,920 --> 01:34:17,240 Speaker 30: videos that I saw it seemed provocative. Now, look, I 1734 01:34:17,360 --> 01:34:20,240 Speaker 30: am a backer of law enforcement. I don't know what 1735 01:34:20,360 --> 01:34:22,920 Speaker 30: was in their minds. I can't put you in that place. 1736 01:34:23,000 --> 01:34:24,280 Speaker 30: I don't know what they were thinking of what they 1737 01:34:24,320 --> 01:34:25,000 Speaker 30: were being told or. 1738 01:34:25,000 --> 01:34:28,560 Speaker 11: What the orders were. But the lawsuit is a legitimate. 1739 01:34:29,439 --> 01:34:32,720 Speaker 30: Yeah, probably most law suits are somewhat legitimate, and so 1740 01:34:32,800 --> 01:34:34,679 Speaker 30: I think this one is as well. 1741 01:34:35,960 --> 01:34:39,040 Speaker 1: Hey, Steve, let me go to this ballroom thing, as 1742 01:34:39,120 --> 01:34:41,920 Speaker 1: in the new ballroom that President Trump is giving everybody 1743 01:34:41,920 --> 01:34:44,639 Speaker 1: an update on it's being built obviously at the White House. 1744 01:34:44,680 --> 01:34:48,320 Speaker 1: We're learning now the US military is building I apparently, 1745 01:34:49,040 --> 01:34:51,479 Speaker 1: and this is the President saying, this a massive complex 1746 01:34:51,600 --> 01:34:55,600 Speaker 1: underneath the structure. Here's the President talking about it ticularly. 1747 01:34:56,240 --> 01:34:59,960 Speaker 31: Now the military is building could be complex under the ballroom, 1748 01:35:00,560 --> 01:35:04,559 Speaker 31: which has come out recently because of his stupid lawsuit 1749 01:35:04,640 --> 01:35:09,439 Speaker 31: that was well, but the military's building a massive complex 1750 01:35:09,600 --> 01:35:12,800 Speaker 31: under the ballroom, and that's under construction and we're doing 1751 01:35:12,920 --> 01:35:15,040 Speaker 31: very well, so we're ahead of schedule. That's part than 1752 01:35:15,720 --> 01:35:19,280 Speaker 31: and the ballroom essentially becomes a shit almost being built 1753 01:35:19,400 --> 01:35:23,719 Speaker 31: under the military, including from drones and including from any 1754 01:35:23,760 --> 01:35:24,160 Speaker 31: other thing. 1755 01:35:26,400 --> 01:35:29,040 Speaker 1: This is a president, this is a once in a lifetime. 1756 01:35:29,360 --> 01:35:33,479 Speaker 1: This guy's got poster boards on Air Force one. I mean, 1757 01:35:35,360 --> 01:35:36,360 Speaker 1: he just cracks me up. 1758 01:35:36,760 --> 01:35:37,519 Speaker 14: This guy he is. 1759 01:35:37,680 --> 01:35:39,160 Speaker 1: He's phenomenal, just phenomenal. 1760 01:35:41,000 --> 01:35:41,120 Speaker 25: Uh. 1761 01:35:41,320 --> 01:35:43,680 Speaker 30: Well, let me tell you, you know, back well two 1762 01:35:43,720 --> 01:35:46,760 Speaker 30: thousand and nine or ten, the entire length where all 1763 01:35:46,800 --> 01:35:49,599 Speaker 30: the media tents are now you know where Brian Glennon 1764 01:35:49,640 --> 01:35:51,599 Speaker 30: folks stand outside the White House. 1765 01:35:51,680 --> 01:35:54,879 Speaker 11: Now that entire area was torn up by Barack. 1766 01:35:54,680 --> 01:35:57,160 Speaker 30: Obama and they built a complex under that part of 1767 01:35:57,280 --> 01:35:59,639 Speaker 30: the of the grounds as well, So having something built 1768 01:35:59,680 --> 01:36:02,320 Speaker 30: under the new ballroom not surprising at all. 1769 01:36:03,160 --> 01:36:05,360 Speaker 11: I'm not sure you should have confirmed it. I mean, 1770 01:36:05,479 --> 01:36:08,479 Speaker 11: rumors are rumors until you confirm its, you know, I'll 1771 01:36:08,520 --> 01:36:08,960 Speaker 11: just say that. 1772 01:36:09,160 --> 01:36:10,880 Speaker 30: Maybe not the same to say, yeah, we've got this 1773 01:36:11,040 --> 01:36:12,880 Speaker 30: great thing we're building under here so we can defend 1774 01:36:12,880 --> 01:36:15,000 Speaker 30: against X, Y and Z. Maybe I wouldn't have confirmed it, 1775 01:36:15,040 --> 01:36:18,240 Speaker 30: but look, he does what he does, and they are 1776 01:36:18,280 --> 01:36:22,720 Speaker 30: probably building a remarkable structure there, so you know, I 1777 01:36:22,800 --> 01:36:23,599 Speaker 30: can't wait to go there. 1778 01:36:23,680 --> 01:36:27,800 Speaker 7: David, it's the oversized poster board for me. 1779 01:36:28,240 --> 01:36:30,360 Speaker 1: It's just firm.

In two thousand and six, 1785 01:36:44,560 --> 01:36:49,719 Speaker 7: twenty thousand dollars equaled roughly thirty three ounces of gold. 1786 01:36:49,920 --> 01:36:54,439 Speaker 7: At spot price and today's prices, those thirty three ounces 1787 01:36:54,680 --> 01:36:58,920 Speaker 7: would be worth about one hundred and sixty five thousand dollars. 1788 01:36:59,120 --> 01:37:03,720 Speaker 7: Who smart Americans diversify a portion of their savings into 1789 01:37:03,760 --> 01:37:07,120 Speaker 7: precious metals.

I'm a fan of rap music, and I 1851 01:40:36,920 --> 01:40:41,439 Speaker 5: appreciate this song more importantly from a cultural standpoint because 1852 01:40:41,479 --> 01:40:44,559 Speaker 5: it brings back conscious rap on my eighties, nineties early 1853 01:40:44,680 --> 01:40:47,519 Speaker 5: hip hop head and that was the era of conscious rap, 1854 01:40:47,560 --> 01:40:49,800 Speaker 5: and I feel like hip hop lost that and you're 1855 01:40:49,840 --> 01:40:52,599 Speaker 5: bringing it back to some degree for sure. 1856 01:40:52,800 --> 01:40:54,120 Speaker 14: Yeah, I mean you kind of covered it in the 1857 01:40:54,160 --> 01:40:54,840 Speaker 14: intro as well. 1858 01:40:55,760 --> 01:40:58,080 Speaker 13: It's a record that's simply, I want to say simple, 1859 01:40:58,120 --> 01:41:01,800 Speaker 13: but it's simply about faith, family freedom, conservative values at 1860 01:41:01,840 --> 01:41:02,280 Speaker 13: its core. 1861 01:41:03,280 --> 01:41:04,799 Speaker 14: I hate to say that it's even political. 1862 01:41:05,160 --> 01:41:08,040 Speaker 13: I don't know how you know faith, family, freedom, God 1863 01:41:08,160 --> 01:41:09,000 Speaker 13: ever became. 1864 01:41:08,760 --> 01:41:09,400 Speaker 14: A right wing thing. 1865 01:41:09,439 --> 01:41:12,439 Speaker 33: I don't feel that it should be mutually exclusive to that. Unfortunately, 1866 01:41:12,479 --> 01:41:14,599 Speaker 33: it seems like more of a left problem as far 1867 01:41:14,680 --> 01:41:15,080 Speaker 33: as they're the. 1868 01:41:15,080 --> 01:41:17,439 Speaker 13: Ones running away from it.

And I think I'm even asking that question 1895 01:42:27,160 --> 01:42:28,439 Speaker 5: more specifically because. 1896 01:42:28,240 --> 01:42:31,160 Speaker 3: You just mentioned you have two children.

What's that Probiotics help when you're 1942 01:44:31,520 --> 01:44:32,200 Speaker 3: watching your gut? 1943 01:44:32,960 --> 01:44:34,880 Speaker 1: Good to know. Thank you so much in our health 1944 01:44:34,920 --> 01:44:38,800 Speaker 1: segment today. Okay, all right, I'm looking at this letter 1945 01:44:38,920 --> 01:44:41,519 Speaker 1: President Trump posted on his true Social account. This is 1946 01:44:41,560 --> 01:44:44,320 Speaker 1: a letter we received from evangelical leader Franklin Braham checked 1947 01:44:44,320 --> 01:44:46,599 Speaker 1: this out. The President posted the letter on his true 1948 01:44:46,640 --> 01:44:49,960 Speaker 1: Social account on Palm Sunday, which Graham assured him that 1949 01:44:50,080 --> 01:44:53,320 Speaker 1: his soul is secure. This referred to a comment that 1950 01:44:53,400 --> 01:44:56,400 Speaker 1: Trump made to reporters late last year. Remember this guy's 1951 01:44:56,400 --> 01:44:59,640 Speaker 1: where he said he was not heaven bound here he 1952 01:44:59,840 --> 01:45:02,400 Speaker 1: was back in October. Look at this I don't think 1953 01:45:02,439 --> 01:45:03,960 Speaker 1: there's anything going to get me in heaven. 1954 01:45:04,040 --> 01:45:05,720 Speaker 3: Okay, I really don't think. 1955 01:45:06,120 --> 01:45:09,719 Speaker 31: I think I'm not maybe heaven bound, maybe in heaven 1956 01:45:09,840 --> 01:45:12,000 Speaker 31: right now as we fly an Air Force one, I'm 1957 01:45:12,080 --> 01:45:14,520 Speaker 31: not sure right I'm gonna be able to make heaven. 1958 01:45:17,360 --> 01:45:20,720 Speaker 1: All right. So Graham's letter then to President Trump emphasized 1959 01:45:20,760 --> 01:45:23,320 Speaker 1: that only belief in Jesus gets you into heaven, not 1960 01:45:23,479 --> 01:45:27,240 Speaker 1: good works. And I think this is important obviously because 1961 01:45:27,320 --> 01:45:30,519 Speaker 1: President Trump in some of those comments guys, was also 1962 01:45:30,640 --> 01:45:33,800 Speaker 1: talking about, you know, the important things he's doing for 1963 01:45:33,920 --> 01:45:38,320 Speaker 1: this country in terms of hea that doesn't matter, doesn't matter, 1964 01:45:38,479 --> 01:45:40,600 Speaker 1: It doesn't matter what any of us do. It's not 1965 01:45:40,720 --> 01:45:42,439 Speaker 1: about our good works. Our good works are not going 1966 01:45:42,479 --> 01:45:46,360 Speaker 1: to get us into heaven. It's it's true, authentic, heartfelt, 1967 01:45:46,960 --> 01:45:50,040 Speaker 1: true belief in Jesus Christ that changes your life from 1968 01:45:50,080 --> 01:45:52,519 Speaker 1: inside out, where you have the Holy Spirit inside of 1969 01:45:52,600 --> 01:45:54,600 Speaker 1: you and you are a different person because of it. 1970 01:45:55,080 --> 01:45:55,920 Speaker 1: That's the bottom line. 1971 01:45:56,000 --> 01:45:59,800 Speaker 5: Yeah, it's it's about relationship, and it's very simple. Do 1972 01:45:59,880 --> 01:46:02,360 Speaker 5: you you profess that Jesus is your Lord and savior 1973 01:46:02,400 --> 01:46:04,719 Speaker 5: and that he died on the cross for your sins 1974 01:46:04,800 --> 01:46:08,679 Speaker 5: to absolve you of your sins. It's generally that simple, 1975 01:46:08,920 --> 01:46:12,240 Speaker 5: and then you continue to build a relationship with Jesus. 1976 01:46:12,360 --> 01:46:16,080 Speaker 3: But that profession is where it all starts. David. And again, 1977 01:46:16,280 --> 01:46:18,479 Speaker 3: nobody's pastor. I'm not trying to get out here preaching, 1978 01:46:18,840 --> 01:46:20,800 Speaker 3: but that that's it. Go ahead, David. 1979 01:46:20,840 --> 01:46:23,080 Speaker 1: I'm sorry now I was gonna say it's simple.
