On the heels of the anti-Semitic attack at a Jewish temple in Dayton, Ohio, Governor Rick Perry and Senator John Cornyn respond to the attack and offer condolences to the families affected by it. They also discuss what they are doing to combat anti-Semitism in the wake of the attack.
00:03:56.720because we're going medieval on these people
00:03:59.340I got a free shot all these networks lying about the people the people have had a belly full of it
00:04:06.480I know you don't like hearing that I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that
00:04:10.020but you're not going to stop it it's going to happen and where do people like that go
00:04:13.560to share the big line mega media I wish in my soul I wish that any of these people
00:04:20.660had a conscience ask yourself what is my task and what is my purpose if that answer is to save my
00:04:28.580country, this country will be saved. War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
00:04:41.200It's Friday, 13th March in the year of our Lord, 2026. So we have lots of updates and things we
00:04:46.260want to get to in detail about the war and the reaction to the war. We saw a couple of incidents
00:04:52.880yesterday and the implication from the FBI, et cetera. Everybody ought to be on alert because
00:04:57.900there could be more down at old dominion university i think the rt students
00:05:03.020took it into their own hands and they were attacked by an isis guy guy had been sent to
00:05:08.020prison federal prison for 10 years served seven i said yesterday when they reported three
00:05:12.360they couldn't have been correct even biden wouldn't let somebody out just after a couple
00:05:16.900years on the charges that he had but the rtc unit where he did kill the major that was in charge of
00:05:23.700it um they attacked him with um they're essentially bare hands and killed him knifed him close order
00:05:30.980combat in michigan and maybe they have information that we haven't seen and put forth but my
00:05:40.220understanding is that the individual and by the way the first guy's a naturalized citizen the
00:05:45.860second guy's a naturalized citizen it's a ticking time bomb a major problem that's what's got to be
00:05:52.280address. The anti-Semitism, I believe at least the information has come out from Ryan Grimm and
00:05:57.120some other people that have not been refuted. This guy's from Lebanon, and I believe that part
00:06:03.560of his family or his children or some part of his family were hit with bombing from Israel in this
00:06:10.280war. That's the case. I'm not so sure that falls under anti-Semitism. I think that falls under
00:06:15.960the guy reacted to a war that we have going on, and now people should understand with a
00:06:22.220major escalation today the announcement from the pentagon or at least leaked to the wall street
00:06:27.400journal that we're sending 5 000 combat troops from japan a marine ready group and normally it's
00:06:34.2202 500 i think they've announced it's 5 000 uh this war it's only going to get more complicated
00:06:40.080and they were specifically targeted for the straits of hermuz which as you know has been a big
00:06:45.180a matter of controversy about the military's focus on that and what's to be done with the
00:06:50.800United States Navy and others. But I want to get to this issue because we had the mass deportation
00:06:58.200announcement this week, but that was all predicated upon math. One of the things that
00:07:02.420we're trying to do is look at those groups that are deeply involved in certain issue sets,
00:07:08.340certain verticals that have been part of the coalition. The part of the coalition that brought
00:07:12.980President Trump back from the political dead after the 2020 election was stolen from him,
00:07:18.320and he was exiled to mar-a-lago and now you see a guy like cornyn um who's having to live with
00:07:26.240his hating on president trump in those days it's had a big impact we had right there kilmeade um
00:07:32.720brian kilmeade interviewing the president where president trump says hey i'm still interested in
00:07:36.640doing it but i want to see the outcome of the save america act which president trump is once again
00:07:41.680about immigration about no foreigners can vote only american citizens in uh u.s elections and that's
00:07:48.320going to start next week and it's going to be hugely controversial and president trump saying
00:07:53.300hey i don't want to hear happy talk and i don't want to see optics i don't want to see kabuki
00:07:56.740theater i want to pass it on my desk and if you have to change the customs and traditions
00:08:01.820of the um of the senate for a one-time deal i remember many people back the 60 um the 60 uh
00:08:12.320vote uh filibuster as uh as the break cloture and to be brutally frank and rosemary jenks
00:08:19.040going to join me in a second we would have had we would have had amnesty and i think daca and
00:08:24.460everything else if it hadn't been for people got to remember that 60 vote saved us a couple of
00:08:30.000three times but the democrats have signaled that they're not going to you know mansion and cinema
00:08:35.040prohibit them last time they're gone so as soon as they get back in they're getting rid of it
00:08:40.680This is adds the complexity. But the center beating heart of the problem is that we've allowed, first off, 15, 20, 25 million illegal alien invaders on Biden's watch, which is very systematically thought through.
00:08:56.140Plus, we have a regular immigration system. And you see both of these individuals who one we know is actively ISIS because he went to federal prison about it.
00:09:07.460And I don't know why the FBI wasn't on top of this guy more, but hey, that's for the FBI to answer.
00:09:12.720The other, and maybe it's response to the Israeli attack, but clearly he had, you know, he had inclinations.
00:09:21.260And another guy that's one of these guys in the immigration system that gets naturalized or is here on some sort of program that's got to be stopped.
00:09:30.220Elizabeth Mitchell is with us and Rosemary Jenks.
00:09:33.500Rosemary, I want to start with you because I want Elizabeth's reporting on the firestorm up on Capitol Hill about this topic in this issue.
00:09:41.620I want to talk to you about you actually went out and said, hey, what we're going to do is very much what Jeffrey Tucker did about Bobby Kennedy and make America healthy again.
00:09:53.520He goes, I'm not really believing these polls that I'm seeing.
00:09:57.740And I'm certainly not believing some of the some of the things I'm hearing out of the White House or the West Wing that they're showing President Trump and some of this polling.
00:10:05.080I'm going to go do my own poll. Talk to us about it.
00:10:08.440You because you are looked at as one of the leaders of this movement.
00:10:12.560You're now part of also the mass deportation coalition.
00:10:16.680But you actually went back. And I think the genius of it is you went back and got the president's his two lead pollsters or Tony Fabrizio and John McLaughlin.
00:10:25.440He went and got McLaughlin's organization to actually, and John's got his brother also,
00:10:30.100he went back and got them to actually do the polling.
00:10:32.720So walk me through, why did you do that?
00:10:35.520Why did you feel it was necessary to do that?
00:10:48.380Well, first, Steve, we did this because so many of the polls that you see in the public
00:10:53.920arena now, have oversampled Democrats. So of course they get lower numbers. So we wanted a
00:11:00.600poll that actually sampled Republicans, Democrats, and Independents at their shares of the voter base.
00:11:07.980So that's exactly what we got with McLaughlin and Associates. That poll is of likely voters.
00:11:17.240So it's not just any random guy off the street. It's actually people who are intending to vote.
00:11:22.600and that matters when you're polling um so hang on hang on and most importantly hold it hold it
00:11:28.180to the audience this is just not registered voters you went right to the people who are
00:11:33.260telling you they're going to show up and actually vote which is a much more and you normally do that
00:11:38.260closer to election day but that's kind of the gold standard when people are looking to where
00:11:43.180do i target on what i have to do correct that's absolutely right and you know the fact that we
00:11:49.480have a large enough sample size that we could pull out specifically Trump voters so we could
00:11:55.280test how important mass deportations and his promise of the largest mass deportation operation
00:12:02.800in U.S. history was to, you know, how they decided to vote for him. We also had a big enough sample
00:12:11.300size to pull out Hispanic voters. So, you know, this is, it's a very well done poll. We asked a
00:12:19.100whole series of questions. All of this is on our website at IAProject.org. You can find the entire
00:12:24.880poll, the top lines, the summaries of it, everything at IAProject.org. And, you know,
00:12:33.140we asked about a variety of things, not just straight up deportation, where we got 66% of
00:12:38.500the American likely voters support mass deportations, but also things like mandatory e-verify
00:12:45.700That polls at 78 percent support. Worksite fairness. Should wealthy elites be able to, you know, profit from illegal immigration when Americans have to pay for it? And that pulled between 75 and 80 percent.
00:13:01.720We tested government cooperation. Should agencies like the Social Security Administration and the IRS be cooperating with DHS to enforce our immigration laws? Should state and local governments have to turn over information about illegal aliens to the federal government?
00:13:20.360All of that stuff had a majority support, including among Hispanics. Now, obviously, the support was higher among Republican voters than it was among Democrats, but independents and Hispanics all support immigration enforcement overwhelmingly. It's not even a question.
00:13:38.620So, you know, this should settle the debate. If Republicans want to turn out their base in the November elections, this is the issue to do it on. We need to follow through with what the president promised.
00:13:53.820And that is the whole point of the Mass Deportation Coalition, to give the administration more ideas on how to accomplish mass deportations, because the voting public wants them, and we want them, too.
00:14:10.060This is an earthquake. You're getting a reality check here that's so important, and particularly with this war going on.
00:14:18.580I'm announcing a number of specials just for the war on posse that are quite important.
00:14:22.820quite important. First off, Tax Network USA is giving you a free discovery call to find out what
00:14:29.040the bid and the ask is between what the IRS thinks you owe, or let me say it differently, what the
00:14:33.680IRS says you owe versus what you actually owe. This normally costs hundreds of thousands of
00:14:40.160dollars. They got a special number just for the war and posse, 866-513-5516. You call that now,
00:18:57.540Many Republicans think that the president needs
00:18:59.780to stick with that mass deportation promise
00:19:02.020rather than just focusing on criminals.
00:19:03.680Well, other Republicans told me that this is actually
00:19:06.580something that they've been asking the president,
00:19:08.780asking the White House to change their focus on.
00:19:11.740One representative, Ralph Norman, even told me
00:19:14.020that this has been the focus of the administration all along has been on criminal illegal immigrants.
00:19:19.000The White House cited statistics showing that 70 percent of deportations have been criminals and 30 percent have been other illegal immigrants.
00:19:27.480And so there's definitely not a unified stance right now in Congress and the Republican Party about the mass deportation issue.
00:19:35.500What is now that you have a group that's coming together with all the grassroots leaders and the institutional leaders that have worked in this immigration?
00:19:44.020situation for years under the umbrella of the mass deportation coalition and these are some
00:19:51.040of the most aggressive i mean up in your grill people because they understand that this issue
00:19:56.480is to the heart of so many of the problems here in the united states how do you think that will
00:20:00.580change people's minds on capitol hill but in particular when you show the math that rosemary
00:20:06.180jinx has and the math that you just talked about change their minds that the base of this party
00:20:14.020and particularly this is a turnout these midterms are turnout elections how do you think that you
00:20:19.200think that'll change the attitudes of some of the more moderate or because look we we got in this
00:20:23.900situation with a republican party that was compliant with all this this situation is so
00:20:29.120deep we got such a hole to dig ourselves out of that we only got here with the open borders radical
00:20:35.560Democrats, but you had a controlled opposition, business-oriented, donor-oriented Republican
00:20:41.820Party that kind of went along with it, right, and only gave kind of a kabuki theater fighting.
00:20:46.520Do you think now that there's a coalition, now that there's additional polling, and now that
00:20:51.000people are saying, hey, you ran on this, you won on this, and we need this in our own communities,
00:20:55.800you think that'll change attitudes up there, ma'am? Yeah, I think that this coalition putting
00:21:00.720pressure on Republicans, saying that the president promised the largest deportations in U.S. history
00:22:13.200One of the things that struck me, because we covered live the Republican House, you know, the Doral meetings and when the president went.
00:22:23.780And what struck me as interesting is that when the president said that was the day he actually said, because the capital markets have been terrible that day, he actually said, I think he talked at four in the afternoon, he said, hey, this is going to be a short war.
00:22:36.320I think we can wrap this up this week.
00:22:53.780There was almost a tepid, it was like you're at a tennis match or a USGA golf, you know, golf championship. It was very tepid kind of golf clapping or tennis clapping. Is the energy of the members, are they looking toward this midterm? Are they afraid of it? I just, I'm not seeing the energy you would want out of somebody that's saying, hey, we got great, we have great policies that we're fighting for. We're all in this fight. I kind of see deer in the headlights, man.
00:23:23.780I think you're right. That lack of energy could be demonstrated by the lack of movement
00:23:28.820we're seeing on the Save America Act. President Trump said he will not sign any legislation
00:23:32.800until the Save America Act is on his desk. I can't remember another bill that has had
00:23:38.420so much emphasis on it from the White House besides maybe the one big, beautiful bill.
00:23:42.000They have really put their full weight into the Save America Act, and yet we're not seeing
00:23:45.680a lot of movement in the Senate. It seems like there's not willingness to invoke the
00:23:49.500We're talking filibuster, which is pretty much the only way that this seems like it could get passed now.
00:23:54.860I think we are seeing a lack of energy on the Hill about these subjects, which are going to be so important in the midterms to MAGA voters.
00:24:02.500Before I let you go, James Blair is the political, is the deputy chief for politics.
00:24:08.920Did he give that to Axier sort of the day?
00:24:11.260Was that a trial balloon they were raising up to say no mass deportation to see what the feedback was?
00:24:20.020Or was that something that they're dug in, that they only want to focus on the bad hombres and there won't be any other real actions taken on mass deportations, ma'am?
00:24:28.520The White House has repeatedly responded to reports on this saying that they have not changed their immigration agenda.
00:24:33.580So I think what we're seeing here is more of a shift in messaging emphasis, where James Blair told Republicans ahead of midterms that he thinks they'd be best suited to win in their districts by focusing on criminals rather than deporting every illegal immigrant.
00:24:51.040Elizabeth Mitchell, where do people get you? Daily Signal's fantastic. Where do they get you? Social media, all of it, to get your writings and your thinking.
00:24:57.780you can read my stories at dailysignal.org or follow me on x at vlizmitchell
00:25:04.240thank you ma'am great reporting want to make sure everybody reads this because this is another fight
00:25:11.000we got so rosemary what i'm going to go back what numbers are they looking at and showing the
00:25:18.420president and the house speaker and things versus what you're showing do you have any idea because
00:25:23.940there's obviously some gap here what is so important about what you've done and it's so
00:25:30.080important about what dr jeffrey tucker did on the maha as you both went back to core issues you had
00:25:36.080huge sample sizes of people that matter likely voters and the results on both were overwhelming
00:25:44.240i mean some of these on on on um on uh tucker's were two-thirds one they're 80 some of yours
00:25:50.560or numbers blow me away. So how can it be that gap? How is how is the White House,
00:25:57.820who obviously have the president's back? What are they looking at that's different than what
00:26:02.980you're looking at? Well, I think they're looking at, you know, the legacy media,
00:26:09.340every headline from The Washington Post and The New York Times and and on and on is bad for
00:26:16.800immigration enforcement. It's a sob story about the kid with the bunny ear hat that is completely
00:26:23.560untrue. They've left out major facts, but that's what they're reporting. I think it was the CBS
00:26:29.620story that said that 15% or something of the illegal aliens who've been arrested and put
00:26:37.300into detention had violent criminal records. Okay, well, that's great, but it was actually 70%
00:26:43.860that had criminal records. And we need to go beyond that. But I think if you're scared of
00:26:49.840headlines like that, and I guess a lot of people read those headlines and think, well, this is too
00:26:57.180far. But I can tell you from our polling, they don't believe them all and they don't think it's
00:27:02.040too far. They understand that what the Biden administration did to America has to not only
00:27:07.680be stopped, which the president has done, but it has to be reversed. And that is, you know,
00:27:14.500at some point, Steve, the Republicans are going to have to choose between the donors and the voters
00:27:20.620because they are diametrically opposed to each other on this issue. So are you going to go along
00:27:27.500with cheap labor for the donors or are you going to do what the president promised and do what the
00:27:33.720voters want. Okay, we got to bounce because I get to the war. But I'm going to bug you later
00:27:41.840to get you on the show over the weekend because I want to tie what you're doing also to the war
00:27:46.340aims. You can't look away from this thing anymore. You have to address what the quote unquote legal
00:27:52.120immigration has done to this country to expose us in a time of war. Maybe the most dangerous front
00:27:58.000that we have where do they go now for uh the immigration accountability project in your poll
00:28:04.180ma'am go to iaproject.org for all of the polling information the entire poll is up there iaproject.org
00:28:12.380we need your support to keep this work going and you can follow us on x at iaproject
00:28:17.740amazing thank you ma'am bill gertz joins us next patriot mobile the finest the finest mobile
00:28:27.020company out there because they lay on top of the other mobile companies 972 patriot go talk right
00:28:32.480now to someone with the east texas accent think about this in 2006 twenty thousand dollars equaled
00:28:41.300roughly 33 ounces of gold at spot prices at today's prices those 33 ounces of gold will be worth
00:28:51.200$165,000. Smart Americans diversify a portion of their savings into precious metals. And that's
00:29:01.660why you need to consider buying gold from my friends at Birch Gold Group. For thousands of
00:29:07.480years, gold has been a store of wealth. And today, it is a crucial part of any balance strategy. Even

00:30:00.280going to be long when it's over this is going to bounce right back so fast when are you going to
00:30:04.720know when it's over it when i feel it okay i feel it in my bones when i feel it in my bones
00:30:11.460the trump administration is also downplaying the escalating crisis in the strait of hormuz
00:30:16.900as iranian attacks choke the world's oil supply the president told excuse me told fox quote
00:30:24.040these ships should go through the strait of hormuz and show some guts there's nothing to be afraid of
00:30:30.620okay president trump is a field player everybody knows that so um he's thinking this through
00:30:38.640gate uh bill gertz our number one reporter you've been covering the chinese communist party and the
00:30:45.780threat the existential threat you've got an amazing piece up in the washington times as you
00:30:49.980always do this about their nuclear storage capability but i gotta ask you first about the
00:30:55.320breaking news today the amphibious ready group i guess the fleet marines out of i guess it's
00:31:02.120yokohama the air base is yakuska but i think that base is actually at yokohama where the marines are
00:31:07.580i think um the uh they're heading towards south china sea um straits of taiwan south china sea
00:31:16.280Straits of Malacca pass our new strategic atoll at Diego Garcia, Indo-PACOM, all the way to North
00:31:25.900Arabian Sea, Gulf of Amount, Persian Gulf. Is this a major escalation, sir, to take 5,000? I think the
00:31:33.160Pentagon's saying 5,000. One of their ports is 2,500. But basically a Marine Ready Group with
00:31:40.780the support ships to the region, sir? Yeah. This has always been my concern about this Iran
00:31:51.320conflict, is that it will diminish military power in the Asia-Pacific, where we absolutely need it
00:31:58.080to deter China. As well, there are also moving elements of the THAAD anti-missile system and
00:32:05.780Patriot anti-missile systems from South Korea to the Middle East theater. Again, we're in a major
00:32:12.600conflict in the Middle East, and I'm very concerned using up important precision-guided weapons and
00:32:20.000systems and forces that we urgently need to maintain in the Asia-Pacific. We could see a
00:32:28.320risk of China's Xi Jinping capitalizing on this heavy military focus on the Middle East
00:32:56.640Now, I don't understand in a war aim why we're letting that happen and let the mullahs get cash to continue their war machine.
00:33:04.100But she clearly is desperate to get the oil.
00:33:07.260But geo strategically, I've been kind of shocked.
00:33:10.800He's he's there. He's he's actually a more important ally to them than the Russians.
00:33:15.340And we know the Russians have been doing at least the reporting, I think, has been pretty accurate about the Russians have been helping them with targeting.
00:33:22.480At the same time, we are, because we're so desperate for this, we're laying the sanctions on already afloat, I think, Russian oil be sold to people.
00:33:31.140Are you surprised at how cucked she has been both in Venezuela and now in Iran?
00:33:38.260And you could argue that they're, what, half of his energy needs and have been major allies.
00:33:44.760And he's essentially sat there, and whatever equipment they've given him hasn't particularly worked well, but she's not made any moves at all, sir?
00:33:52.480Yeah. You know, I did a big piece for this in The Washington Times, looking at the impact of the Iran military operation on China, and it will have a major impact.
00:34:03.800I believe that if they continue and see it through to the end, China is going to be in a major hurt when it comes to oil.
00:34:12.900Ninety percent of Iran's oil is being sent to China, mostly on ghost flu that evade sanctions against Iran.
00:34:26.040They're basically out of gas when it comes to oil, and they need it urgently for their modernization and their economy.
00:34:31.940So one of the positive strategic elements of the Iran operation is that it's a dagger pointed at the heart of Beijing for its energy consumption, as well as its localized strategic efforts to expand the communist influence in the Middle East.
00:34:49.900um walk me through because simultaneously we've had this situation and there were so many rumors
00:34:59.400and so many the china experts had disagreements we've seen xi on this um uh restocking of the
00:35:08.720senior command of the pla whether it's a purge or whether guys try to have a coup against him
00:35:13.940he purged it but it's happening at a time that clearly with the united states on the
00:35:19.400march militarily in latin america and part of that you can look at definitely trying to drive
00:35:24.680the ccp out of there now in iran with their biggest ally uh given that we had taiwan on the
00:35:30.700front burner it being cucked in uh in in iran in venezuela and this whole all these perturbations
00:35:39.660around the military command the uniform military command of the pla and the people's liberation
00:35:44.720Navy. Is Xi strategically in the worst position he could possibly be, or is he making moves that
00:35:50.600we don't fully understand to make himself stronger? I think that the military purges
00:35:57.260that have taken place within the People's Liberation Army are designed to strengthen
00:36:02.220that force for military action in the coming years against Taiwan. That said, I believe Xi
00:36:08.980Xi Jinping is deathly afraid of Donald Trump. They are very cautious when it comes to their
00:36:15.040actions militarily. They'd prefer to take over Taiwan and next Taiwan without waging military
00:36:22.480battle, defeating your enemy without firing a shot. The president is also headed to Beijing.
00:36:29.000I think Beijing wants the meeting with President Trump. Again, they are very much afraid. They've
00:36:37.000seen military action by the successful military action by the U.S. and Venezuela. And now they're
00:36:42.540seeing a major military campaign against Iran. And they're clearly, I mean, the Indo-Pacific
00:36:49.300commander, Admiral Sam Paparo, has said several times, and I've interviewed him, that he'd win
00:36:55.900against China right now if they went to war. And I think the Chinese understand that. Now,
00:37:00.840they're making great progress in developing their forces, specifically with hypersonic missiles,
00:37:06.400drones uh asymmetric weapons that uh could have give them an advantage in a conflict with the u.s
00:37:13.280but they're not there yet um i don't understand help me out because you're my mentor in this
00:37:24.240um he's lost i i don't understand this meeting at all now i barely understood it before
00:37:35.080but walk me through how he can have a she can have a debacle in venezuela and it was only trump
00:37:42.560saying hey we're going to let him sell oil to the chinese that even allows him to get any venezuela
00:37:48.060oil a basically a command by president trump to make that happen president trump has full ability
00:37:54.360to stop these chinese flag or ghost ships coming out of the the the hormuz which we know in fact
00:38:00.760it's happening so that our italian and french allies have been outed by the financial times
00:38:07.800going directly to the iranians say hey i want the same deal the chinese got i got to get that oil
00:38:11.700he's uh shown that the weapon systems they provide at least to date have not worked against
00:38:18.240the american military how possibly particularly in the asian mind can president trump show up on
00:38:25.940the 21st of April for a state visit isn't the moral equivalent of a conquering hero showing up
00:38:32.900into Beijing and that she is actually the supplicant for all those years looked like the
00:38:38.120Chinese were better place but now you've seen under Trump particularly on the tariff situation
00:38:42.520economically the growth situation artificial intelligence where it's only the big tech bros
00:38:48.100you know yammering to sell the chips to him and all this that and President Trump does allow it
00:38:53.360But they wouldn't be there on every aspect of geo-economic, geo-strategic, geopolitical, military, all of it.
00:39:19.840And a flashback to October when the Chinese announced new restrictions on the export of rare earth minerals.
00:39:29.080These are the key minerals that are needed for everything from fighter jets to automobiles.
00:39:34.820That marked a major shift in President Trump's approach to China.
00:39:39.780He stopped all kinds of critical rhetoric against the Chinese.
00:39:43.260Now, if you notice, every time President Trump mentions China, it's about how great his friend Xi Jinping is and how he gets along with China.
00:39:52.780This is a major strategic vulnerability for the United States that Trump is desperately trying to remedy.
00:40:03.840We're trying to find alternatives for these rare earth minerals.
00:40:06.840But China, going back to Deng Xiaoping in the 80s, has said that it's going to dominate the world in rare earth minerals like Saudi Arabia once dominated the world in oil.
00:40:19.680And I think that that's an impact. So he's trying to come up with some kind of trade deal.
00:40:24.980I think China wants it as well. They want to reduce the tariffs.
00:40:28.320Their economy is taking some hits from the difficulties in dealing with their economy, which for the Chinese Communist Party is one of their top priorities.
00:40:40.840The meeting in Beijing, I'm very fearful that Trump could make some kind of deal that could injure Taiwan, that could somehow lessen the U.S. ability to arm and defend Taiwan, help Taiwan defend itself against a future Chinese assault.
00:40:59.500To me, the hottest spot in the world right now is not Iran.
