1 00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:03,800 Speaker 1: We're going to start with some very big news, and 2 00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:06,960 Speaker 1: that is that Donald Trump is going to try to 3 00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:10,360 Speaker 1: clean up the mess that was left behind by Joe 4 00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:15,400 Speaker 1: Biden when it came to Iran. Donald Trump administration we're 5 00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:21,400 Speaker 1: now being told as seeking full dismantlement of Iran's nuclear program. 6 00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:23,920 Speaker 2: That is obviously a huge deal. 7 00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:29,520 Speaker 1: National Security Advisor Mike walt sang on Sunday on CBS's 8 00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:32,920 Speaker 1: Face the Nation, the President Donald Trump was working towards 9 00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:36,919 Speaker 1: full dismantlement of Iran's nuclear program. 10 00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:39,720 Speaker 2: Here is part of that conversation. 11 00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:42,760 Speaker 3: To cover on the home front. But we begin first 12 00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:46,400 Speaker 3: on national security. In just a few hours, US officials 13 00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:49,479 Speaker 3: will be holding talks with Ukraine and tomorrow a separate 14 00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:52,840 Speaker 3: round with Russia in pursuit of a thirty day ceasefire. 15 00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:56,040 Speaker 3: In the meantime, the Trump administration is ramping up the 16 00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:59,080 Speaker 3: US military presence in the Middle East, sending a second 17 00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:02,560 Speaker 3: aircraft carrier to the region. We begin this morning with 18 00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:05,680 Speaker 3: White House National Security Advisor Mike Waltz. 19 00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:07,680 Speaker 4: Good to have you here, thanks, Margaret. 20 00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:10,480 Speaker 3: So, the Iran Backhothi's they continue. 21 00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:11,360 Speaker 4: To fire at Israel. 22 00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:14,000 Speaker 3: What is the last week of bombing achieved and if 23 00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:16,440 Speaker 3: you're holding Iran responsible, what's next. 24 00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:23,160 Speaker 5: Well, we've taken out Keyhothy leadership, including their head missileer. 25 00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:28,840 Speaker 5: We've hit their headquarters, We've hit communications nodes, weapons factories, 26 00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:35,120 Speaker 5: and even some of their over the water drone production facilities. 27 00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:38,360 Speaker 5: Just in the last couple of days, President Trump has 28 00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:41,960 Speaker 5: decided to hit the Houthis and hit them hard, as 29 00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:45,240 Speaker 5: opposed to in the last administration, where literally weeks or 30 00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:47,760 Speaker 5: months would go by with these kind of one off, 31 00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:51,280 Speaker 5: pin prick attacks. And as a result, we've had one 32 00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:54,960 Speaker 5: of the world's most critical sea lanes get shut down. 33 00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:58,360 Speaker 5: I mean, these guys are like al Qaeda or Isis 34 00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:02,040 Speaker 5: with advanced cruise missile, ballistic missiles, and some of the 35 00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:05,560 Speaker 5: most sophisticated air defenses, all provided by Iran or Just 36 00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:08,560 Speaker 5: to so everybody understands the impact here, the last time 37 00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:11,200 Speaker 5: one of our destroyers went through the Straits there it 38 00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:15,640 Speaker 5: was attacked twenty three times. Seventy five percent of our 39 00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:18,880 Speaker 5: US flag shipping now has to go around the southern 40 00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:23,080 Speaker 5: coast of Africa rather than going through the Suez Canal. 41 00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:26,520 Speaker 5: And keeping the sea lanes open, keeping trade and commerce 42 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,519 Speaker 5: open is a fundamental aspect of our national security. The 43 00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:33,720 Speaker 5: last administration was not effective. The Trump administration and President 44 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,920 Speaker 5: Trump have decided to do something much harder, much tougher, 45 00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:40,160 Speaker 5: and much and what we'll see but I think will 46 00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:41,239 Speaker 5: be much more effective. 47 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:43,800 Speaker 3: So the President is that he's going to hold Iran 48 00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:48,359 Speaker 3: responsible as well. Envoy Steve Whitkoff said in an interview 49 00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:51,840 Speaker 3: that Iran had responded to this US outreach. 50 00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:53,239 Speaker 4: Via multiple channels. 51 00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:57,920 Speaker 3: In regard to a letter sent by the President, Witkoff 52 00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:00,959 Speaker 3: described it as an offer to a to create a 53 00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:05,800 Speaker 3: verification program so nobody worries about weaponization of nuclear material. 54 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:09,320 Speaker 3: Can you clarify, is the US seeking the dismantlement of 55 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:14,040 Speaker 3: Iran's nuclear program or verification like what President Obama put 56 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 3: in place back in twenty fifteen and President Trump pulled out. 57 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:18,560 Speaker 4: Of full dismantlement. 58 00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:22,720 Speaker 5: Iran has to give up its program in a way 59 00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:24,760 Speaker 5: that the entire world can see. 60 00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:26,959 Speaker 4: And this is look. 61 00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,960 Speaker 5: As president as President Trump has said, this is coming 62 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 5: to a head. All options are on the table, and 63 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:38,000 Speaker 5: it is time for Iran to walk away completely from 64 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:41,800 Speaker 5: its desire to have a nuclear nuclear weapon. That and 65 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:45,400 Speaker 5: they will not and cannot be allowed to have a 66 00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:49,080 Speaker 5: nuclear weapons program. That's enriched to the president, that is 67 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:53,080 Speaker 5: weaponization and that it's its strategic missile program. Can you 68 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:56,320 Speaker 5: only imagine we've seen the death and destruction that they're 69 00:03:56,360 --> 00:04:00,280 Speaker 5: doing through its proxies between Hesbalah, the Asad regime, the 70 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:03,040 Speaker 5: who these and what have you. If they had nuclear weapons, 71 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,640 Speaker 5: the entire Middle East would explode in an arms race 72 00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 5: that is completely unacceptable to our national security. I won't 73 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 5: get into what the back and forth has been, but 74 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:15,840 Speaker 5: Iran is in the worst place it has been from 75 00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:19,320 Speaker 5: its own national security since nineteen seventy nine thanks to 76 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 5: Hesblah Hamas, the Assad regime and its own air defenses 77 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:25,280 Speaker 5: being taken out by the Israelis. 78 00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:29,000 Speaker 4: So there's still a chance for diplomacy. Well, of course Iban. 79 00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:31,359 Speaker 5: The President has all options on the table, but we 80 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:34,560 Speaker 5: want to be clear. This isn't some kind of, you know, 81 00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:36,680 Speaker 5: kind of tip for tat that we had under the 82 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:40,680 Speaker 5: Obama administration or Biden. This is the full program. Give 83 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:42,080 Speaker 5: it up or there will be consequences. 84 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:46,200 Speaker 2: Give it up or there will be consequences. 85 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:52,440 Speaker 1: It's very clear that the Trump administration is not willing 86 00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:55,680 Speaker 1: to negotiate at all with Iran on the issue of 87 00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:59,800 Speaker 1: nuclear weapons and the reason why is clearly stated. Full 88 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:01,640 Speaker 1: this mana minute, and Ran has to give up its 89 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:04,600 Speaker 1: program in a way that the entire world can see. 90 00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:07,440 Speaker 2: And this is what it's going to be. 91 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:09,839 Speaker 1: We are not going to trust them with any type 92 00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:14,200 Speaker 1: of nuclear program. Now you listen to how this president 93 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:18,240 Speaker 1: has made it clear to the world that this is 94 00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:21,719 Speaker 1: unacceptable what has happened with Iran, and that we're not 95 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:22,600 Speaker 1: going to do this. 96 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:25,000 Speaker 2: We're not going to allow it. And as they described it, 97 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:25,720 Speaker 2: RAN's in the. 98 00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:29,159 Speaker 1: Quote worst place it's been from its own national security 99 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:33,520 Speaker 1: standpoint since nineteen seventy nine thanks to hesbla Hamas and 100 00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:37,080 Speaker 1: the Asad regime and its own air defense being taken 101 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:40,160 Speaker 1: out by the Israelis. Now you notice there that there 102 00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:43,800 Speaker 1: was one key thing that was said by the anchor there, Brennan. 103 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:46,760 Speaker 1: She said, so there's still a chance for diplomacy, question mark, 104 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,880 Speaker 1: I know you won't get into okay, And what was 105 00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:52,640 Speaker 1: the response, Well, of course, I mean the president has 106 00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:53,480 Speaker 1: all options on. 107 00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:56,119 Speaker 2: The table, and we want to be clear. 108 00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:58,400 Speaker 1: This isn't some kind of you know, kind of tit 109 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,760 Speaker 1: for tat that we had under the Obama. 110 00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:02,880 Speaker 2: Administration or Biden. 111 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,800 Speaker 1: This is the full program, give it up or there 112 00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 1: will be consequences. After more than a year of war, 113 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:12,880 Speaker 1: tear and pain in Israel, the need for security essentials 114 00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:16,600 Speaker 1: and support for first responders is still critical. Even in 115 00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:20,680 Speaker 1: times of ceasefire. Israel must be prepared for the next attack, 116 00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:24,040 Speaker 1: wherever it may come from. As Israel is surrounded by 117 00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:27,640 Speaker 1: enemies on all sides. That is where the International Fellowship 118 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,200 Speaker 1: of Christians and Jews and you come in. 119 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:31,760 Speaker 2: They are the ones. 120 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:33,680 Speaker 1: That help give the support that is needed and the 121 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:37,120 Speaker 1: people of Israel need now more than ever before, life 122 00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:40,440 Speaker 1: saving security essentials, and your gift today will help save 123 00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:45,080 Speaker 1: lives by providing bomb shelters, armored security vehicles and ambulances, 124 00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:49,039 Speaker 1: firefighting equipment, flat jackets and bullet proof vests, and so 125 00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:52,120 Speaker 1: much more.

So give a gift to bless Israel and 128 00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:01,400 Speaker 1: her people by visiting support I s FCJ dot org. 129 00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:06,760 Speaker 1: That's one word support IFCJ dot org or call eight 130 00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:10,800 Speaker 1: a eight four eight eight IFCJ that's eight eight eight 131 00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:14,560 Speaker 1: four eight eight IFCJ eight A eight four eight eight 132 00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:18,800 Speaker 1: four three two five or support IFCJ dot org. Now 133 00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:22,680 Speaker 1: the question is what a consequences look like. Well, obviously 134 00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:26,320 Speaker 1: sanctions are part of the consequences, there's no doubt about that, 135 00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,760 Speaker 1: and it's very clear the Presdent's going to use that disadvantage. 136 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:31,920 Speaker 2: But it could also mean allowing for. 137 00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:35,160 Speaker 1: Israel to strike, because if there's anything we've learned, Israel 138 00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:39,280 Speaker 1: right now does not want to allow Iran to get 139 00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:41,440 Speaker 1: a nuclear weapon because they know that they would be 140 00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:44,760 Speaker 1: more than likely target number one, and so there's a 141 00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:47,000 Speaker 1: very good chance at what would end up happening. Is 142 00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:51,160 Speaker 1: America would say to them, Hey, we understand what you 143 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:53,960 Speaker 1: have to do. We understand that you have to protect 144 00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:57,360 Speaker 1: and defend yourself. We understand that you are their target. 145 00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:00,720 Speaker 1: We understand all of that, and we're going to do 146 00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:04,160 Speaker 1: everything we can rights in Iran. 147 00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:05,560 Speaker 2: And this makes a lot of sense. 148 00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:09,080 Speaker 1: We're going to do everything we can to make sure 149 00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:13,560 Speaker 1: that you are able to defend yourself. That's what America 150 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:17,200 Speaker 1: would say to Israel when it comes to the Iran issue. 151 00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:20,160 Speaker 1: I don't think anyone has a problem with that. That 152 00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:24,120 Speaker 1: is sane, and having an Iran with a nuclear program 153 00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:28,120 Speaker 1: would be suicide for peace in the Middle East. There 154 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:29,960 Speaker 1: is no doubt about it, because I do believe they 155 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:33,319 Speaker 1: would use those nuclear weapons. I believe they would use them, 156 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:36,400 Speaker 1: and they would go after not only Israel, but I 157 00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:38,360 Speaker 1: think they would go over any other country that they 158 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:41,000 Speaker 1: wanted to mess with or that they hated. And that's 159 00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:45,080 Speaker 1: the biggest problem with all of this. This also, I 160 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,640 Speaker 1: think goes back to one other aspect of what Donald 161 00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:50,560 Speaker 1: Trump has made very clear, which is peace through strength. 162 00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:53,760 Speaker 1: And if you look at what he has said, and 163 00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:56,680 Speaker 1: you look at the way that he said it, he said, 164 00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:59,199 Speaker 1: there are certain things in America. 165 00:08:58,760 --> 00:08:59,960 Speaker 2: We will not tolerate. 166 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:00,280 Speaker 4: Rate. 167 00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:04,520 Speaker 1: One of those things is a nuclear program in Iran. 168 00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:09,040 Speaker 1: They lie, You cannot trust them, You cannot believe them 169 00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:12,680 Speaker 1: that they will for anything like when it comes to 170 00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:17,040 Speaker 1: nuclear weapons, you cannot trust them. And they sponsor terras everywhere. 171 00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:21,800 Speaker 1: We know that they sponsor terras everywhere in the Middle East. 172 00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:24,319 Speaker 1: Hamas has blow. The list goes on and on. So 173 00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:26,600 Speaker 1: that is the other part of this that I think 174 00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:31,800 Speaker 1: is really really really important to understand that the President 175 00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:33,880 Speaker 1: is saying, we are not going to let you get 176 00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:38,040 Speaker 1: it because we know we know when you get it, right, 177 00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:42,000 Speaker 1: like we know when you get it, the chances of 178 00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:45,040 Speaker 1: you using it are extremely high. 179 00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:46,240 Speaker 2: Period. 180 00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:49,840 Speaker 1: While all this, by the way, is happening with Iran 181 00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:51,800 Speaker 1: and the simple words coming out from the White House 182 00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:53,760 Speaker 1: that we're going to stop Iran from getting a nuclear 183 00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:57,439 Speaker 1: program and there will be consequences if they if they 184 00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:01,000 Speaker 1: don't stop what they're doing. Right now, we also got 185 00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:05,880 Speaker 1: even better, I think you could say information from the 186 00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:09,720 Speaker 1: Director of National Intelligence Toulty Gabbard, who has come out 187 00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:13,880 Speaker 1: also while this is happening and slash DEI and wasteless 188 00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:18,200 Speaker 1: spending by tens of millions of dollars.

Securing peace 250 00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:14,880 Speaker 1: through strength requires strong leadership and a clear eyed and 251 00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:19,640 Speaker 1: realistic understanding of global challenges and opportunities, a commitment to 252 00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:22,720 Speaker 1: fostering cultural and economic ties that reduce the likelihood of 253 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:28,359 Speaker 1: an escalation to conflict, and a dedication to reinforcing mutual interests. 254 00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:32,920 Speaker 1: So what does this actually mean in translation, means the 255 00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:37,640 Speaker 1: President is empowered gabber to slash the wastele spending while 256 00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:40,160 Speaker 1: also making sure that we get back to the mission 257 00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:44,320 Speaker 1: of what she does in her job, and part of 258 00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:47,280 Speaker 1: it is going and talking to world leaders and finding 259 00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:50,600 Speaker 1: common ground and commonplace where we can get along and 260 00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:54,480 Speaker 1: expand and work together, which allows for there being a 261 00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:59,400 Speaker 1: much less chance of there being some sort of international conflict. 262 00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:03,920 Speaker 1: And so what the President's strategy is here is, Hey, 263 00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:07,120 Speaker 1: let's go meet with people that we think there could 264 00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:10,600 Speaker 1: be an issue, and let's find a common denominator, a 265 00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:14,720 Speaker 1: common bond of understanding where instead of us not talking 266 00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:19,360 Speaker 1: to one another, we actually work with one another. We 267 00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:21,800 Speaker 1: sit down and try to find ways that we can 268 00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:27,520 Speaker 1: communicate on some sort of program and or plan that 269 00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:30,000 Speaker 1: makes sense for both so that we have a better 270 00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:35,120 Speaker 1: chance of de escalating a situation instead of escalating it 271 00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:38,640 Speaker 1: to having a point where we have another war. 272 00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:43,320 Speaker 2: Again. This is common sense. That's what it really is. 273 00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:48,560 Speaker 1: This is all about basic common sense by Tulsi, by 274 00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:51,400 Speaker 1: the President of the United States of America and empowering 275 00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:56,680 Speaker 1: his cabinet officials to do their jobs. And when you 276 00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:59,880 Speaker 1: allow them to do their jobs in this way, which 277 00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:03,720 Speaker 1: is clearly just mentioned, what ends up happening is you 278 00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:07,600 Speaker 1: have a world that's a safer place. You have a 279 00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:09,400 Speaker 1: world where the presents also made. 280 00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:10,080 Speaker 2: It very clear. 281 00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:14,120 Speaker 1: You have a world where the President said, look, don't 282 00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:16,880 Speaker 1: get out of line, don't be a threat to the 283 00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:21,560 Speaker 1: United States of America. Right Like, whatever you do, don't 284 00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:25,360 Speaker 1: do that. Let's find ways in common ground, in places 285 00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:28,880 Speaker 1: where we can work together. And when that happens, we're 286 00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:33,360 Speaker 1: all in a much better place. While we may have 287 00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:35,800 Speaker 1: won this election, the fight to restore our great nation 288 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,520 Speaker 1: is only beginning and now is the time to take 289 00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:42,400 Speaker 1: a stand, and Patriot Mobile is leading the charge. It 290 00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:46,080 Speaker 1: has never been easier to switch your cell phone than 291 00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:48,880 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty five. With technology, you can do it 292 00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:51,960 Speaker 1: literally over the phone with a code they send you. 293 00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:55,480 Speaker 1: It is amazing. But here's the reason why I'm a 294 00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:58,400 Speaker 1: I use Patriot Mobile now. One I save money over 295 00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:01,040 Speaker 1: what I was paying before with Big Mobile, and two, 296 00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:04,520 Speaker 1: I'm no longer supporting the radical left now. I didn't 297 00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:07,760 Speaker 1: realize until someone told me just how radical Big Mobile 298 00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:10,720 Speaker 1: had gotten. Where they are supporting organizations that pay for 299 00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:15,760 Speaker 1: abortions or supporting radical democratic causes and organizations they're helping 300 00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:18,879 Speaker 1: democrats get elect it at the local, state, and national level. 301 00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:22,280 Speaker 1: That is actually why over a decade ago Patriot Mobile 302 00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:27,080 Speaker 1: was started and they are now America's only Christian conservative 303 00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:28,040 Speaker 1: wireless provider. 304 00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:29,720 Speaker 2: Now, let's talk about coverage. 305 00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:33,680 Speaker 1: In twenty twenty five, you have zero problems with coverage 306 00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:37,840 Speaker 1: anymore because well, Patriot Mobile uses all three major networks. 307 00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:38,960 Speaker 2: What does that mean for you? 308 00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:41,639 Speaker 1: It means whatever coverage you're used to now you're going 309 00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:44,480 Speaker 1: to stay exactly the same, or you may even be 310 00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:47,120 Speaker 1: able to improve it, but it will not be any 311 00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:49,440 Speaker 1: issues when it comes to coverage. In fact, they have 312 00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:52,720 Speaker 1: a coverage guarantee. But when you pay your bill, this 313 00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:55,600 Speaker 1: is where the magic happens. They take a portion of 314 00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:57,840 Speaker 1: your bill every month and they give it back to 315 00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:01,399 Speaker 1: organizations that support our first and our second amendments that 316 00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:05,120 Speaker 1: support the sanctity of life, that support our veterans, our 317 00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:08,600 Speaker 1: first responders, and are wounded warriors. And like I said, 318 00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:12,320 Speaker 1: switching with technology now has never been easier.

They're not. 334 00:18:56,960 --> 00:19:02,719 Speaker 1: They're furious, they're angry, they're upset.

We're not going to have a bunch of 348 00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:55,920 Speaker 1: neocons going out there warmongering, trying. 349 00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:56,439 Speaker 2: To start things. 350 00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:59,080 Speaker 1: We're here to in them, we're here to finish them, 351 00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:05,280 Speaker 1: we're here to shut them down again. It's a brilliant, 352 00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:10,560 Speaker 1: brilliant foreign policy. It's also an American first foreign policy, 353 00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:13,840 Speaker 1: and that is incredibly important for the president of the 354 00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:17,359 Speaker 1: United States of America. So you look at these two 355 00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:22,040 Speaker 1: stories that we started with today, They're incredibly important and also, 356 00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:26,119 Speaker 1: I would argue, incredibly successful because the President of the 357 00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:29,160 Speaker 1: United States of America said, I'm going to lead by example. 358 00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:31,600 Speaker 1: I'm going to bring in people like Tulsi. I'm going 359 00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:33,720 Speaker 1: to empower them to do their job. I'm going to 360 00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:36,520 Speaker 1: empower them to travel and meet with people, and I'm 361 00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:39,520 Speaker 1: going to get them to have conversations instead of us 362 00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:42,119 Speaker 1: talking through the media on the issue. 363 00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:43,600 Speaker 2: That could escalate to war. 364 00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:47,400 Speaker 1: Isn't it nice to know that common sense is back 365 00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:50,600 Speaker 1: in the White House. Isn't it nice to know that 366 00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:53,480 Speaker 1: we have a president that is sitting there truly trying 367 00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:56,320 Speaker 1: to allow these things I accomplish these types of things. 368 00:20:56,760 --> 00:21:01,360 Speaker 2: Isn't that what we should all be so excited about? Now? 369 00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:04,119 Speaker 1: You look at what the presidents try to do in Iran, 370 00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:06,320 Speaker 1: you look at what the president's doing with Tulsa Gabbard 371 00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:09,000 Speaker 1: and stopping ways fraud and abuse, and then you've got 372 00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:11,480 Speaker 1: something else the president's working really hard on right now, 373 00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:14,879 Speaker 1: and what he's trying to do right now is also 374 00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:18,200 Speaker 1: in the war between Russia and Ukraine. 375 00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:20,879 Speaker 2: Well, it looks. 376 00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:25,600 Speaker 1: Like Zelenski knows that if the war ends, he's out 377 00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:30,119 Speaker 1: of a job. It's very clear that he is reading 378 00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:34,320 Speaker 1: the tea leaves that way, where it's like as soon 379 00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:37,120 Speaker 1: as there's an election, remember, because he's canceled all the elections. 380 00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:40,480 Speaker 1: That's what dictators do. That's why Zelenski is a dictator. 381 00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:43,520 Speaker 1: In my opinion. He has shut down the elections and 382 00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:46,080 Speaker 1: he's not having those elections because I also think he 383 00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:49,479 Speaker 1: knows that he would lose the election. The number of 384 00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:52,960 Speaker 1: Ukrainians have been sent to war to die is staggering. 385 00:21:54,200 --> 00:22:00,480 Speaker 1: The number is truly incredible, and so that's a problem. 386 00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:02,840 Speaker 1: So when you look at the president of the United 387 00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:06,760 Speaker 1: States of America and you look at you know what 388 00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:10,400 Speaker 1: the president of our country is trying to do, which 389 00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:13,639 Speaker 1: is to not only save our tax dollars, but also 390 00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:18,960 Speaker 1: not empower someone like Zelensky to take advantage of the situation. Zolensky, 391 00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:23,040 Speaker 1: there's a fifty percent chance when this thing's all said 392 00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:25,920 Speaker 1: and done, he will probably go into exile somewhere else. 393 00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:29,439 Speaker 1: He'll be run out of the country. And right now 394 00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:35,280 Speaker 1: he's got a monopoly is on all the money coming 395 00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:40,720 Speaker 1: in now. The corruption under Zolensky is widespread and well 396 00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:43,960 Speaker 1: reported on that's something else that people need to understand, 397 00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:47,800 Speaker 1: Like it is very well reported on just how widespread 398 00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:52,720 Speaker 1: it is. And so Zelensky is a guy that even 399 00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:55,240 Speaker 1: admitted that fifty percent of all the money that's gone 400 00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:57,720 Speaker 1: to Ukraine, like is unaccounted for it. We don't know 401 00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:00,879 Speaker 1: where it is. So now well I move you to 402 00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:05,560 Speaker 1: the newest story. President Zelensky quote was quick to rubbish 403 00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:11,119 Speaker 1: President Donald Trump's suggestion to take tension over nuclear plant 404 00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:15,760 Speaker 1: possession off the table by simply making them American owned, 405 00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:21,520 Speaker 1: insisting the plants belong to the quote people of Ukraine. 406 00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:26,600 Speaker 1: The largest nuclear power station in Europe is technically Ukrainian owned, 407 00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:31,240 Speaker 1: but has been occupied by Russian forces for over three years, 408 00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:34,240 Speaker 1: and its fate has emerged as a bone of contention 409 00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:38,720 Speaker 1: in Ukraine's war peace negotiations. All right, so if you 410 00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:41,400 Speaker 1: know that's the issue, listen to this. 411 00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:45,440 Speaker 2: This week, President Trump, playing chess not. 412 00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:49,600 Speaker 1: Checkers, offered a new approach to answering whether it should 413 00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:53,000 Speaker 1: be Ukrainian or Russian by offering to make an American 414 00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:58,160 Speaker 1: instead taking the problem off the table altogether Ukraine's presidents. 415 00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:03,000 Speaker 1: Lensky responded quickly reverting to his total war goal of 416 00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:10,199 Speaker 1: all United Nations recognized Ukrainian territory being restored to Kiev's control, 417 00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:13,360 Speaker 1: insisting there's no way the United States could take control 418 00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:18,720 Speaker 1: of the valuable but potentially highly dangerous site. Now again, 419 00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:20,880 Speaker 1: the president's trying to end the war. It's pretty clear 420 00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:22,680 Speaker 1: nown Zelensky's going, no, no, don't. I don't want to 421 00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:24,679 Speaker 1: end this war. I don't want like the points of 422 00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:27,720 Speaker 1: contention are going to keep me in power for longer, 423 00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:29,800 Speaker 1: and I'd rather be present for another six months, or 424 00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:33,480 Speaker 1: another year, or another two years because we can't come 425 00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:35,919 Speaker 1: to an agreement. And be damned, who gets killed. 426 00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:37,320 Speaker 2: Now. 427 00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:41,119 Speaker 1: In response to a journalist question during a joint conference 428 00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:45,680 Speaker 1: in Norway with the Prime minister there that at times 429 00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:49,520 Speaker 1: appeared to verge on the well of the frustrated or angry, 430 00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:54,119 Speaker 1: Zelensky hit back saying, quote, all nuclear power plants belong 431 00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:57,360 Speaker 1: to the people of Ukraine. These are state owned nuclear 432 00:24:57,400 --> 00:25:02,240 Speaker 1: power plants. It's not in private property in Ukraine. Now again, 433 00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:06,080 Speaker 1: he's obviously not actually wanting to stop the war. If 434 00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:09,959 Speaker 1: he did, he would trust the US on this issue 435 00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:12,440 Speaker 1: and say, yes, let's do this to take it off 436 00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:17,520 Speaker 1: the table. Quote, the atomic energy in Ukraine belongs to Ukraine, 437 00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:22,280 Speaker 1: and the temporarily occupied region where this nuclear power plant 438 00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:25,520 Speaker 1: is belongs to Ukraine. He went on to say, refering 439 00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:28,160 Speaker 1: to the leader Kohl he had with President Trump early 440 00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:31,600 Speaker 1: in the week. President Zelenski also quote cast doubt on 441 00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:35,160 Speaker 1: the versions of events published by the United States which 442 00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:38,639 Speaker 1: stated American ownership of those plants would be the best 443 00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:43,879 Speaker 1: protection for that infrastructure and support for Ukrainian energy infrastructure. 444 00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:48,520 Speaker 1: Giving his view on the call, Zelensky said, quote the 445 00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:52,920 Speaker 1: problem raised by the Americans, I do not know whether 446 00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:57,240 Speaker 1: they have raised it with the Russians. Mister President Trump 447 00:25:57,280 --> 00:26:00,359 Speaker 1: asked me what do you think about this station. I 448 00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:04,120 Speaker 1: told him that if it does not belong to Ukraine, 449 00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:06,720 Speaker 1: it will not work for anybody. 450 00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:08,800 Speaker 2: It is illegal and it is. 451 00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:11,919 Speaker 1: Not capable of doing so, and it is a state 452 00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:16,760 Speaker 1: owned enterprise. The issue of property we definitely did not 453 00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:20,560 Speaker 1: discuss with President Trump, and even more we did not 454 00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:23,200 Speaker 1: discuss the message you have said here. 455 00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:25,400 Speaker 2: Zelenski went on. 456 00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:28,040 Speaker 1: To say, I saw such messages in the press regarding 457 00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:29,639 Speaker 1: the overall generation. 458 00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:33,320 Speaker 2: In Ukraine. Now we will not discuss it. 459 00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:38,040 Speaker 1: Ukraine has opened quote four discussions or two discussions on 460 00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:42,400 Speaker 1: future investment and modernization of its nuclear powers, Lensky said, 461 00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:46,920 Speaker 1: but again retreading his path on insisting foreign ownership could 462 00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:50,080 Speaker 1: not be permitted. Now, why would you say it this 463 00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:53,840 Speaker 1: way if you're Zelenski? Simply put, it's because he doesn't 464 00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:55,320 Speaker 1: want the war to end. 465 00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:56,760 Speaker 2: Now. 466 00:26:56,840 --> 00:27:00,640 Speaker 1: Ukraine, by the way, just so you know, has fifteen 467 00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:05,800 Speaker 1: Soviet error reactors. In the case of its largest plant, 468 00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:08,680 Speaker 1: its six reactors are largely in a state of cold 469 00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:13,440 Speaker 1: shutdown for safety. As previously reported on the nuclear ownership 470 00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:20,000 Speaker 1: proposal to remove the issue from contention between Ukraine and Russia, quote, 471 00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:23,920 Speaker 1: the proposal to take these plants into US ownership is 472 00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:26,800 Speaker 1: the latest by the Trump administration to offer Ukraine's security 473 00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:32,800 Speaker 1: guarantees through commerce, ensuring continued American interests in Ukraine's well 474 00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:35,600 Speaker 1: being by creating a strong financial interest in its safety. 475 00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:39,400 Speaker 1: Following the readout of Trump's comments to Zelenski, US Secretary 476 00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:42,720 Speaker 1: of Energy Chris Right assured the US taking ownership of 477 00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:47,720 Speaker 1: Ukraine's nuclear fleet was doable, telling Fox News that quote, 478 00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:50,840 Speaker 1: there's no problem, we can do it, he said. 479 00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:53,000 Speaker 2: If it was helpful to achieve. 480 00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:56,359 Speaker 1: That end, have the US run nuclear power plants in Ukraine. 481 00:27:56,400 --> 00:28:01,679 Speaker 1: We have immense technical technological excuse me, expertise in the 482 00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:03,959 Speaker 1: United States to run those plants. I don't think that 483 00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:08,480 Speaker 1: requires boots on the ground quote unquote. In fact, the 484 00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:12,199 Speaker 1: United States already has direct experience in nuclear power in Ukraine, 485 00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:18,000 Speaker 1: with nuclear power giant Westinghouse having supported the country's power 486 00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:22,720 Speaker 1: fleet since the Russia invasion in twenty twenty two, has 487 00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:27,400 Speaker 1: even started building new American design reactors in nuclear power 488 00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:32,280 Speaker 1: plants last year alone. So if you know the background now, 489 00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:35,280 Speaker 1: the way that I just described it, and you hear 490 00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:39,960 Speaker 1: the way that they are describing it in from Zolensky, 491 00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:42,719 Speaker 1: Zolensky makes it sound like this is the most insane 492 00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:45,600 Speaker 1: idea ever, but if you look at the reality on 493 00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:48,240 Speaker 1: the ground, it's actually one of the most brilliant ideas 494 00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:52,920 Speaker 1: ever and would take away leverage from Russia to actually 495 00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:56,160 Speaker 1: get a deal done. So now you have to ask 496 00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:59,920 Speaker 1: yourself this question, why is Zelensky so hell bent on 497 00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:01,600 Speaker 1: not agreeing to this deal? 498 00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:04,000 Speaker 2: And the answer is very clear. 499 00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:07,800 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say the answer again because it's an important one. 500 00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:14,480 Speaker 1: It's because Zolensky actually doesn't want peace. I'm gonna say 501 00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:23,760 Speaker 1: that again. Zolensky actually doesn't want peace. Zolensky knows that 502 00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:27,560 Speaker 1: as soon as this war ends and there are elections, 503 00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:32,400 Speaker 1: it is game over for him. It is game over, 504 00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:35,360 Speaker 1: and the people of his country are going to vote 505 00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:38,160 Speaker 1: him out of office and they're gonna want somebody new. 506 00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:42,040 Speaker 1: And Zolensky wants the money and the cash coming in, 507 00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:46,880 Speaker 1: and his family, his friends, and the oligarchs of Ukraine 508 00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:49,320 Speaker 1: are more corrupt than those in Russia. 509 00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:50,680 Speaker 2: And that's saying something. 510 00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:55,160 Speaker 1: You think Russian corruption is bad, you have no idea 511 00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:58,040 Speaker 1: how bad it is until you look at what it's 512 00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:01,760 Speaker 1: like with the oligarchs in Ukraine, and Zolensky knows it. 513 00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:03,960 Speaker 1: And the proof of it goes back to the point 514 00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:06,880 Speaker 1: that was made. I'm going to go back to the 515 00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:10,120 Speaker 1: point that Zelensky said out loud. We don't know where 516 00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:11,400 Speaker 1: fifty percent of. 517 00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:12,640 Speaker 2: The money goes. 518 00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:15,640 Speaker 1: By the way, I can tell you exactly where it goes. 519 00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:20,640 Speaker 1: This is not hard. It's going to corrupt government officials, 520 00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:23,840 Speaker 1: it's going to many of the Zelensky cronies. 521 00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:26,840 Speaker 2: Much of it's being export out of the country. 522 00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:31,800 Speaker 1: To Warsaw, where there is massive corruption in Warsaw. You 523 00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:34,560 Speaker 1: look at all the top oligarchs in Ukraine, their families, 524 00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:37,760 Speaker 1: are in Warsaw and the money that they are receiving 525 00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:39,960 Speaker 1: in Warsaw is astronomical. 526 00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:41,960 Speaker 2: It is one of the it is. 527 00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:45,320 Speaker 1: One of the like the running jokes if you know 528 00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:51,040 Speaker 1: people that deal with Ukraine, like, it's an embarrassment just 529 00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:57,840 Speaker 1: how much money is being funneled when it comes to Ukraine. 530 00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:01,000 Speaker 1: And the Biden administration knew it and they didn't stop it. 531 00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:03,360 Speaker 1: And the question you then have to ask yourself is, Okay, 532 00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:08,520 Speaker 1: why why didn't they stop it? Why did they allow 533 00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:10,920 Speaker 1: the money to keep going in? Why did they allow 534 00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:14,360 Speaker 1: it to keep going in at record numbers? Because maybe 535 00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:17,120 Speaker 1: they were compromised. That could be part of it. Honestly, 536 00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:20,840 Speaker 1: the Biden regime may have just been straight up compromised, 537 00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:28,520 Speaker 1: just straight up compromised.
