Bannon's War Room - Episode 5532： Is David Rhode Apart Of The CCP Propaganda Arm

00:00:01.000 This is the primal scream of a dying regime.

00:00:06.000 Pray for our enemies,

00:00:08.000 because we're going medieval on these people.

00:00:11.000 I got a free shot at all these networks lying about the people.

00:00:16.000 The people have had a belly full of it.

00:00:18.000 I know you don't like hearing that.

00:00:19.000 I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that,

00:00:21.000 but you're not going to stop it.

00:00:22.000 It's going to happen.

00:00:23.000 And where do people like that go to share the big lie?

00:00:26.000 MAGA Media.

00:00:28.000 I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.

00:00:33.720 Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?

00:00:37.480 If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.

00:00:43.820 War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.

00:00:49.740 Tuesday, 21 July, Eurovalor, 2026.

00:00:52.940 The world is about choices, opportunity costs,

00:00:55.340 you know, what you could be doing, except you're taking another path. I think that's what the real

00:01:00.420 decisions are here. We have two items the president ran on and the president is known for. One is mass

00:01:06.380 deportations to end the invasion on our southern border. He did that magnificently in the first 30, 0.93

00:01:12.260 60 days of his presidency, second term. Then it was the mass deportations, which has, I don't know,

00:01:18.180 two-thirds to 70, depending on how you ask the question, anywhere from two-thirds to 80 percent

00:01:24.600 support of the american people also the basics for the voter fraud in this country which is

00:01:31.520 voluminous you know voter id other common sense measures another 70 75 80 percent in a world where

00:01:39.340 51 or a couple hundred votes over 50 brings victory these are overwhelming overwhelming

00:01:48.800 uh support i believe you're going to see let's say how do i say this polling

00:01:56.660 mathematics over the next few days that show even the president's most staunch supporters

00:02:03.520 of which war room is we believe i think the um uh the the strongest uh apparatus for supporting

00:02:12.320 the president through thick and thin um that you're going to see polling come out to show

00:02:16.900 that the MAGA is sitting there going hey we got to prioritize things and endless wars in the

00:02:22.580 Middle East eternal eternal wars in the Middle East are not a priority not at this time. Natalie

00:02:29.280 G Winters as usual you do the best investigative reporting out there you've been quite engaged in

00:02:36.100 this whole situation with one of your topics for years of the Chinese Communist Party and it's

00:02:42.760 infiltration everywhere in the country. You've got a great report up on Substack. What is that?

00:02:50.620 And then we've got a couple of clips I want you to tee up to kick this thing off.

00:02:54.900 Sure. Well, we'll start small and then we'll broaden it out to basically every mainstream

00:03:00.060 media organization that you include in the cold opens for this show. But people may recall that

00:03:07.640 David Rode seems to have been sort of the MSNBC hatchet man for President Trump's speech about

00:03:16.820 Chinese election interference. He really took issue with the idea that China was involved in

00:03:22.400 any capacity with our elections, let alone influencing this country in a negative way.

00:03:27.680 Now, what is so interesting about our intellectual and I'm sure moral better David Rode, who loves

00:03:35.160 to lecture us about what this show is doing to democracy is that David Rode actually has a

00:03:42.260 history of collaborating with the Chinese Communist Party. Now, to be specific, this is not just some

00:03:48.120 group that if you trace it back by, you know, seven different iterations, it's tangentially linked

00:03:52.840 to the Chinese Communist Party. This is a group called the China United States Exchange Foundation

00:03:58.200 that is the tip of the sphere of explicitly the Chinese Communist Party's propaganda and espionage

00:04:04.560 operations here in the United States, part of what's called the United Front Work Department

00:04:08.980 that U.S. authorities have even flagged as working to, quote, co-opt and neutralize

00:04:13.800 opposition to the Chinese Communist Party in Western countries, particularly America.

00:04:19.780 And the foremost tactic that QSEF used, which war room diehards have probably seen me on this show

00:04:25.620 now, Steve, I think it's going on five years since I broke the story of how QSEF takes these

00:04:32.080 Western journalists, we'll get into all the outlets involved after we play the clip, but takes them

00:04:37.080 on trips to China. Now, most of the time, these trips are subsidized, they're paid for by the

00:04:43.620 Chinese Communist Party. And in exchange, you can see in the FARA filings that are very hard to

00:04:48.860 access, they're obscured, that these Western lobbyists were connecting this Chinese Communist

00:04:53.780 Party influence group with American journalists that they thought they could get favorable

00:04:58.680 coverage from because they would, quote, disseminate positive messages to their audience

00:05:03.960 about the Chinese Communist Party. Nothing that I'm telling you is hyperbolic. These are direct

00:05:09.100 quotes from the Foreign Agent Registration Act. And believe it or not, now you might be a little

00:05:14.580 difficult believing it because conveniently the article where it's exposed that David Roode went

00:05:20.300 to China on one of these trips is actually deleted. But luckily in the war room, I know we're a bunch

00:05:26.640 of rubes that don't understand how democracy works, but we can access archived articles.

00:05:30.880 And you can see that he proudly says that he went to China, quote, four other journalists

00:05:36.060 and myself are visiting China this week on a trip organized by the China United States

00:05:39.860 Exchange Foundation.

00:05:41.180 He describes the organization, his words, not mine, as run by businessmen with close

00:05:45.000 ties to the Chinese government.

00:05:46.660 He goes on throughout this piece, praising the Chinese Communist Party.

00:05:52.100 This is a direct quote, quote, Americans should accept that large scale manufacturing will

00:05:56.480 never return to the United States. He praises the Chinese state for developing their economy,

00:06:02.760 compares it and contrasts it to Americans, our work ethic, and literally says that the way out

00:06:08.580 of our economic catastrophe is more partnership with the Chinese Communist Party and, quote,

00:06:13.660 less ideological babble in Washington. Now, I want to play a clip just to really contextualize this,

00:06:19.520 to show you why it's so ridiculous that this is the, you know, MSNOW point person to be saying 0.95

00:06:24.780 president trump is an absolute lunatic for saying there's chinese involvement not just in our 0.95

00:06:28.680 elections but in our political system at large because this guy literally is working with their 0.96

00:06:33.640 propaganda organizations but just look at how he chastises our movement this show right everybody 0.75

00:06:41.220 who didn't believe that russia was capable of influencing influencing elections for destroying 0.51

00:06:45.660 democracy meanwhile this guy is literally on the take not just from some loosely you know pro china

00:06:52.460 a pro-America organization, an organization that not just should be sanctioned, but the lobbyists

00:06:57.980 who worked for them honestly are guilty of treason, literally spreading and deceiving Americans as we

00:07:03.680 speak with pro-Chinese Communist Party messages. This is who's lecturing us. Let's roll the clip.

00:07:10.600 What do you think our adversaries, I mean, China, Russia, Iran, how do they read a move like this?

00:07:17.340 I mean, they cannot be taking Bill Pulte particularly seriously.

00:07:20.540 No, China's thrilled. And China is our main rival here in terms of just AI and all the 0.77

00:07:27.620 sophisticated ways that spying is going to be conducted in the future. So it's a win for them. 1.00

00:07:32.940 And then for Vladimir Putin or Iran, it's just more chaos and more of a distraction 0.82

00:07:37.700 in terms of a weak Washington where the president is dividing everyone. And look,

00:07:44.060 we talked about it earlier on the previous hour, but my real concern is about what

00:07:50.340 Bill Pulte will do in terms of the elections this fall.

00:07:53.640 Tulsi Gabbard, before she resigned, had gone down and seized voting records in Fulton County.

00:07:59.120 He carried out investigations in other states to prove the president's false claims of 2020 election fraud.

00:08:04.600 And now you have Roger Stone pushing Bill Pulte.

00:08:07.740 And, you know, there's real concerns among Democrats that he'll somehow claim to have intelligence

00:08:13.000 and try to stop voting in blue areas and key states, let's say Georgia or Texas,

00:08:18.740 in terms of Senate races or after the vote claim it's all been hacked, that another election was

00:08:24.640 stolen. And so and that's more of a distraction. That kind of division in this country just helps

00:08:29.640 our foreign rivals. So it's you know, we'll see if if he stays in his position and what the

00:08:35.720 Democrats do. I want to play this. So that's he's in narrative warfare. He's ahead of it. That's

00:08:43.880 that's over that's over a month old right he's way ahead of he already knows he already knows

00:08:49.580 what they've done and he's kind of trying to lay the groundwork but there's nothing to see here

00:08:55.080 right we used to call it ben smithing nothing to see here this has been talked about before correct

00:08:59.720 yeah it's total narrative warfare i mean i think there's probably some weird like admission of

00:09:04.980 guilt that's why he's like oh people who you know play influence games with chinese and the russians

00:09:09.660 They're guilty of division. Well, maybe look in the mirror, David. But that's the point, right? 1.00

00:09:13.900 It's to dismiss anything that meaningfully criticizes or points out Chinese Communist Party intrusion, infiltration, invasion in this country as this right wing crackpot conspiracy that could only be uncovered by someone who's, you know, so ill equipped and just, you know, out to lunch as Bill Pulte.

00:09:31.480 It's like the perfect way to sort of dismiss any real meaningful discussion of CCP invasion here.

00:09:39.040 I mean, it's basically kinetic if you look at the border under Joe Biden.

00:09:41.620 But Steve, too, I mean, I also think that there's this idea that, you know, oh, when the right talks about which, by the way, it's not all the right.

00:09:48.040 There's certain outlets that are actually willing to do it because so many are on the take.

00:09:52.120 But when you know when you talk about Chinese influence in the United States, this isn't like some random thing. 0.90

00:09:56.960 Oh, they just put some random spouse on the payroll. I mean, yes, that happens. 0.71

00:10:00.360 But it's all by design. I mean, take the media pay for play operation of which David Rode is just one of many. By the way, the identities of the actual journalists who have taken these trips, taken these private dinners in exchange for, and I quote, favorable coverage and to quote, disseminate positive messages to their audience about the Chinese Communist Party.

00:10:20.000 this has been going on since 2009. The Chinese Communist Party retained U.S. D.C.-based lobbyists

00:10:26.940 to basically connect them with these journalists. The names of these journalists has never been

00:10:32.060 subpoenaed by the DOJ. Nobody, not even Congress, has sent a letter to try to understand who these

00:10:37.440 journalists were. And what the crazy part is, is that I was able to ascertain some of the names

00:10:42.660 just from like deleted web pages and pulling it from the internet, people who somehow were

00:10:46.940 tangentially related. Now basically everything's been deleted. But these are big names. I'll be

00:10:51.740 publishing the full list of the names that I have available probably tomorrow. But just if you look

00:10:56.480 at this filing, this one filing, like I said, this has been going on for basically two decades now.

00:11:01.660 This one lobbying firm literally connected the Chinese Communist Party, whether it was these

00:11:07.000 trips to China and exchange for favorable coverage of the private dinners with journalists from

00:11:10.960 CNN, The New York Times, The Washington Post, MSNBC, Forbes, The Financial Times, Newsweek,

00:11:17.360 Bloomberg, Reuters, ABC, The Economist, The Wall Street Journal, AFP, Time Magazine, LA Times,

00:11:24.100 The Hill, BBC, and The Atlantic. And for anybody who's saying that this is still not going on or

00:11:29.580 still not continuing, I was just looking at a new Farrah filing that was, I think, about a month old

00:11:34.600 from Media Links TV, which is the American shell company that a lot of these Chinese state media

00:11:39.980 companies run their business through, like China Global Television Network, CCTV. They talk about

00:11:45.480 having active commercial arrangements with Reuters, CNN, AFP, and AP that they just expanded in the

00:11:52.040 last month. I mean, part of the critique here is just the borrowed boat strategy, right? We know

00:11:56.500 they've been paying off to put these ads in these, you know, newspapers. So it looks like it's actual

00:12:01.420 American news. It's actually just Chinese propaganda. But it's the broader payoff where

00:12:06.140 someone like David Rode, who you can see from the time he went to China, has literally used what he

00:12:11.680 shouldn't have, his platform, in American media to push talking points that are basically

00:12:16.540 indistinguishable from what the Chinese Communist Party would want him to say. Now, sure, a decade

00:12:22.620 ago, it was like, oh, let's praise China's economic development. Let's say that we should

00:12:26.480 have more joint ventures between US and Chinese companies. But now, isn't it interesting that the

00:12:32.360 narratives that are being pushed are Bill Pulte's crazy. Don't look into the election. Anybody who

00:12:37.960 wants to say there was foul play or nefarious activity when it comes to American voter rolls, 0.99

00:12:42.380 you're crazy. President Trump's crazy. It really just shows you an evolution of that information 1.00

00:12:47.320 warfare. And just remember, PRC influence is radioactive. Once you go CCP, you don't go back,

00:12:54.140 not just because they've compromised you, but if you're willing to sell out your country and be a

00:12:57.720 trader for God knows how much money, probably a few thousand bucks, though, the Chinese, I guess, 0.81

00:13:01.540 doing probably a little higher, maybe not as high as Israel. But it tells you about what kind of

00:13:07.920 people these people are. And they're not America first. They're traitors. And for the love of God,

00:13:12.940 could the DOJ please someone subpoena the names of the American journalists that works with these

00:13:18.540 lobbying firms to go to China literally in exchange for pushing propaganda against the

00:13:23.740 American people? It is a clear cut case if you want to prove that President Trump has been the

00:13:28.040 target, which he has, of Chinese subsidized propaganda. Okay, Natalie, I need you to hang 0.53

00:13:34.540 around. We're going to try to juggle a few balls here. There's a major development today under 0.79

00:13:38.220 our former contributor, Scott Besson, Secretary of Treasury, about the IRS really cracking down

00:13:44.820 on payments to people. The head of the IRS is going to join us. I need you to stick around.

00:13:49.900 We're going to juggle also. The president of Lebanon has now, I think, arrived at the Oval

00:13:54.660 office. There could be a bilat at any second. If the president decides to say a few words, 1.00

00:13:59.680 we're going to cut live to the Oval Office. We're going to cut live to the Oval Office right now.

00:14:05.260 Let's go. We wouldn't be celebrating America 250 if it wasn't for a strong foundation set by the

00:14:11.500 framers. Hamilton built Americans' financial foundation on the principle of sound, stable

00:14:16.900 money, a principle later embodied by the gold standard. However, we abandoned that discipline

00:14:23.780 in 1971 and have since seen inflation erode the dollar's value. What is the foundation of your

00:14:30.720 savings? It is gold or something that can be shaken, disrupted, or devalued. Birch Gold Group

00:18:09.140 country for a long period of time it's an amazing group of people professors doctors lawyers

00:18:16.020 great intellects and it's been hit hard for many many decades really it's been hit very very hard

00:18:25.140 and yet i have people that live in lebanon people that are parents of friends of mine

00:18:30.500 many cases and they would never leave they would not leave under any

00:18:33.620 circumstances they love it they love the country and it's probably a dangerous

00:18:39.140 place in a lot of ways but they live in areas they say we hear bombs going off

00:18:43.300 all the time but we want to live in lebanon they love the country very

00:18:46.020 smart people very successful people and they live there but it has been it's

00:18:50.660 been a a country of great intellect great intellectuals they still love it

00:18:58.340 they want to be there and we're going to help it we're going to help it a lot so it's an honor to

00:19:04.340 have the president and your representatives here we've already met a couple of times and

00:19:09.220 we've had some good meetings and we are going to solve a lot of problems we've already solved some

00:19:16.260 of them for lebanon as you know there's a hezbollah problem but we've done some things that i think 0.94

00:19:23.700 the world will take notice again it's been a very badly treated place and 0.63

00:19:31.800 country and we're going to have it properly treated and treated with

00:19:35.340 respect that it deserves and mr. president it's an honor having you

00:19:39.180 thank you very much thank you I've been looking forward to this visit for a

00:19:43.920 long time meeting such a great president like yourself it's a very

00:19:47.820 nice thing. See, he knows how to get to me. He can have anything. Now he can have anything.

00:19:54.120 Would you like to say something? No, really, I would like to thank President Trump, really,

00:19:59.560 and his team for the historic visit and for the historic achievement that we did together

00:20:06.380 by signing the framework with the ultimate objective of ending the state of hostility

00:20:13.560 between Lebanon and Israel forever I think Mr. President this will be your

00:20:17.700 legacy together we'll be able to achieve this objective it's about time for 0.73

00:20:23.280 Lebanon and for the whole region to be stable and secure and I know your

00:20:28.500 vision is peace your vision is stability and I think my vision coincide

00:20:33.600 with your vision and together I think we will be able to achieve and to score

00:20:38.240 success in that regard I agree with that I do agree with that you have

00:20:41.760 tremendous spirit on your side we have people that love that country and they're

00:20:46.720 gonna make it work we gotta make it all right thank you very much I have two

00:20:55.680 questions one for you president Trump as you work to expand the Abraham Accords

00:21:00.320 Lebanon still enforces a 1955 law criminalizing contact with Israel for

00:21:05.700 over 70 years you previously stated you would push Lebanon on this issue and

00:21:10.380 And people, there is some people still going to prison last month.

00:21:14.340 So did you raise it with, you will raise it with President Trump today?

00:21:17.420 Well, the Abraham Accords have been, I think, a tremendous success.

00:21:22.140 I think you're going to see a lot of countries joining pretty soon.

00:21:25.360 As you know, we have our original group, and it's so successful for them.

00:21:31.000 Economically successful.

00:21:32.220 It's been that nobody left, even during this time of conflict.

00:21:37.080 So, no, I think Lebanon has a very important place.

00:21:45.420 What is your level of concern of a blockade of the Red Sea by the Houthi rebels opening up another front in the war?

00:21:53.800 What happens so far? It hasn't happened. It might happen.

00:21:57.380 But we take care of things. If something like that happens, we take care of it.

00:22:00.960 You know, we've done that with the Houthis before and we haven't heard from them in a while since we did what we did originally. 0.99

00:22:08.680 That was about 45 days of very powerful action we took against the Houthis. 0.99

00:22:15.280 And we've had no problem with the Houthis. 0.99

00:22:17.320 They've had no problem with us for a long period of time, including during this conflict. 0.98

00:22:23.580 I think that if there is something like that, we'll just have to take care of business.

00:22:27.380 The Speaker of the Lebanese Parliament

00:22:31.980 rejected the agreement between Lebanon and Israel

00:22:34.620 and said, he said it's a sedition,

00:22:36.480 it's going to cause civil war.

00:22:38.220 He's the Speaker of the Lebanese Parliament

00:22:40.660 and he speaks for Hezbollah. 0.83

00:22:41.660 He's Hezbollah's big brother.

00:22:43.360 What do you have to say about that?

00:22:44.400 Well, maybe I'll let you speak for that.

00:22:46.640 Actually, the framework doesn't require

00:22:48.700 the endorsement of the Parliament, okay?

00:22:51.240 It's part of our constitution,

00:22:52.740 it's a prerogative of the President.

00:22:54.740 And we are committed to it,

00:22:56.300 And I think the Speaker of the Parliament is really wants to see the end of this war.

00:23:03.420 He's from the South, and he knows he did his best to rebuild the South.

00:23:09.220 But unfortunately, the South is being destroyed in front of his eyes.

00:23:12.460 So he's actually supportive of what we are doing.

00:23:15.980 But we need to be careful his position as a Speaker.

00:23:22.420 and as a leader of the Shi'a community, we have to understand how critical is his position.

00:23:28.080 But I can tell you that Speaker Murray is a man of state, he's supportive of what we

00:23:32.220 are doing, and he's supportive of ending the state of hostility, ending the war once for

00:23:36.840 all.

00:23:39.260 I think when he sees, because I've heard that, he's a good person, good man, and when

00:23:44.440 he sees the progress made, I'm sure he's going to come on.

00:23:46.820 I have two questions, please.

00:23:52.860 When will the Israeli army fully withdraw from Lebanon?

00:23:56.060 Is there a clear timeline for that?

00:23:58.300 And last question, please.

00:23:59.540 Last week, you met with the Iraqi Prime Minister

00:24:01.660 and discussed him, or described him as handsome

00:24:04.640 and saying he could become one of the best leaders

00:24:07.440 in the Middle East.

00:24:08.280 How would you describe what you do?

00:24:09.680 The President- Which one are we joking about?

00:24:10.680 The President- The Iraqi Prime Minister.

00:24:11.680 Yes.

00:24:12.180 How would you describe President Obama?

00:24:13.680 The President- Well, I'd say he's handsome also,

00:24:15.240 And I think he could become one of the most important leaders in the Middle East, actually,

00:24:19.960 if we do this, because they've been doing, trying to do this for decades, right?

00:24:24.340 Decades and decades.

00:24:25.480 So, if I made that statement about somebody else, I would put him in the same category.

00:24:30.460 When the Saidi army was thrown from Lebanon, is there a clear timeline for that? 0.59

00:24:36.360 They're in the process of doing that.

00:24:37.920 They're in the process of redeploying to other sections.

00:24:42.080 And, again, they get along very well.

00:24:44.180 That was a great agreement. 0.77

00:24:45.020 that they side with Lebanon, and they're redeploying.

00:24:47.860 The Press-

00:24:49.320 The Press-

00:24:50.200 The Press-

00:24:51.380 The President, the Lebanese Army needs help,

00:24:54.860 and the United States said that it's very important

00:24:57.260 for the Lebanese Army to take over the villages

00:25:00.020 that Hezbollah withdrew from.

00:25:02.180 How are you going to help him?

00:25:03.340 And how this income is going to be improved

00:25:05.440 to ensure that he will be in the South as well?

00:25:07.580 The President, we'll be speaking about that today

00:25:08.640 with your President.

00:25:09.780 And we have some very concrete plans already in store for that,

00:25:14.500 with others going in and helping.

00:25:17.040 But they're also becoming much more self-sufficient.

00:25:21.040 And we will be speaking about that.

00:25:22.800 That's one of the subjects we're going to be talking about.

00:25:24.440 The Press- Thank you, Mr. President.

00:25:25.940 Thank you, Mr. President.

00:25:26.940 The Press- My question is, sorry.

00:25:29.120 Israel- The Lebanese army said today

00:25:31.280 that Israeli forces opened fire in proximity

00:25:34.520 to the Lebanese trying to deploy

00:25:36.160 in one of these pilot zones.

00:25:37.360 This is day two of the pilot zones.

00:25:39.460 Are you prepared to take any steps, additional steps,

00:25:42.200 to put pressure on Israel to withdraw,

00:25:45.600 which I believe President Aoun is planning to ask you.

00:25:48.300 The President, look, I just heard about that

00:25:49.800 before this conference just happened,

00:25:52.080 and we'll be looking at that. Yeah.

00:25:53.740 The Press, Mr. President, there are no signs

00:25:56.080 that Iran is ready to stop fighting.

00:25:57.840 So what is the plan? 0.79

00:25:59.020 Is the plan to just keep bombing until they give up?

00:26:01.660 The President, how would you know there are no signs?

00:26:03.020 What, do you know something that I don't know?

00:26:04.960 The Press, will they continue to attack our allies

00:26:06.600 and kill Americans?

00:26:07.500 The President, how would you know what the dialogue is 0.99

00:26:08.420 behind the scenes that they want to meet desperately

00:26:10.520 to try and end it because they're getting decimated.

00:26:13.720 You don't get that when you listen to your fake station.

00:26:16.400 But you don't know. You don't know anything.

00:26:20.760 What are you know something that I don't know?

00:26:23.140 Do you know something I don't know?

00:26:24.660 Well, tell us.

00:26:25.940 I will tell you they want to desperately meet.

00:26:29.080 And until they're ready to meet in a meaningful way,

00:26:32.180 we have no interest in even.

00:26:37.280 Mr. President, are you planning on putting any

00:26:39.240 pressure or consequences on china for what you announced about them meddling in the 2020 election

00:26:44.920 well we'll talk to them about it it took place a long time ago i think china is maybe a little 0.88

00:26:49.800 bit different today than it was then but look there they do things and we do things to them

00:26:54.440 i'll be honest we do things to them too it's not a one-way street but we'll be talking to them yeah

00:26:59.720 mr president it's something that doesn't get talked about a lot but the border patrol reported

00:27:04.200 14 consecutive months and months no releases at the southern border this is something you talked a

00:27:09.800 lot about on the campaign trail that you couldn't run on the job that you did on the southern

00:27:13.480 border do you feel similarly at this point in time with midterms considering how well of a job

00:27:18.280 you've done what is the lesson to be learned about border patrol well thank you for that question

00:27:22.680 the fact is and maybe it pertains a little bit with respect to you and borders and everything

00:27:27.640 else we had a border that was totally out of control i probably won the election at least

00:27:33.080 partially on the border would you say and the border now we literally in 14

00:27:37.820 months I think it came out this morning actually just announced and in 14 months

00:27:41.240 we had nobody coming through zero zero people I have to send millions came

00:27:47.480 through and we had zero people come in illegally into our country and that's

00:27:52.700 made by people that happen to be Democrats largely Democrats the people 0.99

00:27:57.460 that do those sets and I'm sure they don't like saying it but we really had

00:28:01.940 virtually nobody coming in and you actually say nobody not even virtually so it's amazing what's

00:28:07.380 happened there and uh very people talk about that anymore you know they don't like talking about

00:28:11.940 that they don't like talking about venezuela where we lost no people i'll be going to dover

00:28:17.780 for something that i feel is is it's a great honor for me to do it these are people that want it and

00:28:25.460 they feel like i do that iran cannot have a nuclear weapon very simple it's a very simple

00:28:30.740 dictum they cannot have a nuclear weapon and they won't have they're not going to they have

00:28:35.060 no chance of having a nuclear weapon uh and as far as iran is concerned i'll let pete maybe

00:28:40.660 say a couple of words but we are doing very well we are degrading them at levels that nobody thought

00:28:46.420 was possible they're being degraded uh really uh so seriously they did slip something through in

00:28:54.740 jordan and if we had other operators you know would have not happened unfortunately but uh we

00:29:03.700 because we have the best equipment in the world you know we've stopped almost everything but when

00:29:08.180 you let other people do your job with the united states we let other people do the job and sometimes

00:29:13.300 it doesn't work out so well but uh we're going to be going and paying our respects at dover

00:29:19.380 people would you like to say just how we're doing generally speaking well it'll be an honor as well

00:29:24.100 to join you at dover to recognize these incredible americans who committed to the cause just like you

00:29:29.460 are something no president's been willing to do 47 years they build up a conventional capability

00:29:34.900 like the north koreans did remember north that's how north korea made their way to a bomb so much

00:29:38.740 weaponry that they no one was willing to stand up to them president trump was and it continues to

00:29:44.020 to this day iran's been given every opportunity to negotiate to show that they're reasonable on 0.90

00:29:49.300 the strait of hormuz but if they're going to shoot a commercial shipping then we're going to hit them

00:29:53.460 as the president said 10 times harder which every night we're degrading them further and further

00:29:58.580 and the president has all the options necessary they want to talk they can talk otherwise they

00:30:03.300 can deal with the war department and we're prepared the blockade is up and fully i mean it's uh

00:30:10.100 nobody gets through nobody gets through the block it's like a steel wall

00:30:16.420 thank you mr president uh yesterday there was another attack on an ice facility this

00:30:20.020 time in new york city what in your view is prompting these attacks and you have a message

00:30:24.420 for those who are attacking ice you're talking about the fire that was set in front of the

00:30:28.500 federal building well this is uh what's happening with the people that they allowed to come into

00:30:33.860 our country they shouldn't have allowed them to come in they shouldn't be here uh they're radical 0.88

00:30:39.220 lunatics and uh i'm getting them out you know we're getting them out at a pace you know we've 0.94

00:30:46.100 gotten rid of more than any other i read stories they try and give you phony stats i was with tom

00:30:52.020 homan this morning he'll give you the statistics if you want but we're getting bad people out of

00:30:57.940 our country at levels never seen before there's never been a time when more bad people and you

00:31:04.180 take a look just here in washington we got almost five we took out almost 5 000 hard line hardcore

00:31:12.500 criminals most of whom came in during the open border periods of the previous administration

00:31:20.020 and an amazing statistic and this is something that i hate to be talking about in front of the

00:31:25.060 president of lebanon but he's got his problems and different problems but we don't have any problems

00:31:32.180 in washington dc we have virtually we've wiped out about 92 of the crime uh and we're going to get

00:31:38.900 very close to i believe we're going to get close to 100 of the crime and if you take a look at

00:31:44.260 this city and compare this to what it was 15 16 months ago this was a dangerous city uh i don't

00:31:51.060 know how i'm i better not compare it to lebanon because i don't exactly have your stats but uh

00:31:56.260 it might have been lebanon was safer this was a dangerous city under the previous administration

00:32:01.700 biden and now it's a very safe city there was an article that came out two days ago that

00:32:07.140 washington dc is has made the greatest progress of any city in the nation now memphis also

00:32:14.660 and new orleans also and if they would ask us for help in chicago we would turn that around so fast

00:32:20.260 if they'd ask us for help in new york we would turn that around so fast los angeles we would

00:32:25.300 turn that around so fast but the the stat that's so amazing is that two percent of the people

00:32:31.380 create 91 of the crime think of that it's a great stat because it was 70 of the people

00:32:38.340 that's a problem it was 20 that's a two percent of the people create 91 of the crime think of that

00:32:46.820 two percent of the people you can handle that easily so washington dc is now one of the hottest

00:32:52.500 cities in the country we have the hottest country in the world but washington is now hot and uh

00:32:59.700 And I do have to say one other thing.

00:33:02.740 We just had the World Cup, as you know very well.

00:33:05.780 And it was the most successful World Cup ever.

00:33:10.020 We didn't even have a protest.

00:33:12.180 We had no crime.

00:33:13.740 With all those events, it was like having many, many Super Bowls.

00:33:17.580 Each one was like a Super Bowl.

00:33:19.760 And with all of that, we didn't have crime.

00:33:22.180 We didn't have bedlam.

00:33:24.180 Everybody left here with a different opinion than what they read in the fake news.

00:33:29.300 They loved this country. I saw Scotland. I saw Norway. I saw all these countries. I mean, the level of love that nobody wanted to leave. And I just want to congratulate everybody, the job that we did and all of us, everybody in this room, because everybody in this room was involved. The vice president was very much involved.

00:33:48.420 it was it was amazing i was with johnny the other day it was the job he did is great but

00:33:57.120 he said he never thought in a million years it could be so free of any difficulty think of it

00:34:03.380 we didn't even have a protest not only no crime now there's a reason for all this

00:34:08.860 but part of it was that people just wanted to pull together this country for like a four-week

00:34:16.500 period just pulled together really amazing and i didn't want to say it before the final i didn't

00:34:21.860 want to say how well it was doing i wanted to get the final up with because you never know it only

00:34:26.660 takes it only takes a bad moment but we just had the most successful world cup in history

00:34:32.740 did five times the business of any world cup in history and i can't wait to get him back but i

00:34:40.260 but I think we won't be able to get him for the next time.

00:34:42.260 Mr. President, what about you?

00:34:45.260 Do you feel safe here, especially with this upcoming?

00:34:48.260 Do you feel safe, especially considering the attempts on your life?

00:34:52.260 I feel safe. Why wouldn't I feel safe?

00:34:54.260 Mr. President, I'm Pedro Ghani from Al-Jadeed.

00:35:00.260 Are you still speaking with Hezbollah?

00:35:02.260 You said in previous interviews that you're speaking with Hezbollah.

00:35:05.260 I wouldn't say that, but I would speak to Hezbollah, yeah.

00:35:07.260 I speak to everybody.

00:35:09.260 I'll speak to people that a lot of people think

00:35:11.100 I shouldn't be speaking to, and things work out.

00:35:12.900 I always say this. 1.00

00:35:16.860 If the President wanted me to speak to Hezbollah,

00:35:19.640 you know, he's lived with Hezbollah for a long time.

00:35:21.840 And if the President wanted me to speak to Hezbollah,

00:35:25.080 I would. You know? I would.

00:35:26.440 I would. Thank you, Mr. President.

00:35:31.980 A follow-up on Iran.

00:35:33.460 If the Iranians do not make a deal, ultimately, 1.00

00:35:37.460 How long will it take for you to stamp out their threats 0.98

00:35:40.960 to the strait and enable full shipping?

00:35:43.060 The President's President So, if we left right now,

00:35:45.040 it would take Iran 20, 25 years to rebuild, okay?

00:35:50.140 And we're not finished at all.

00:35:51.580 But if we left right now, it would take them a long time,

00:35:55.180 years, years to rebuild.

00:35:58.580 But we're not leaving right now. 0.64

00:36:00.660 So we've had a big impact on Iran.

00:36:03.680 If we didn't do what I did with regard to two things,

00:36:07.520 the Iran nuclear deal done by Barack Hussein Obama,

00:36:12.480 I terminated that. 0.92

00:36:14.100 If I didn't terminate it, you wouldn't have Israel right now 0.99

00:36:16.600 because they would have had a nuclear weapon years ago. 1.00

00:36:20.300 And if we didn't do the B-2 bombers

00:36:23.300 knocking out the nuclear sites a year ago,

00:36:27.300 one of the first things we did early in the administration,

00:36:30.600 they would have a nuclear weapon. 0.96

00:36:32.840 And you wouldn't have Israel, and in my opinion, 0.90

00:36:35.180 you wouldn't have various other countries 0.82

00:36:37.780 in the Middle East that'd all be gone. 0.96

00:36:39.320 They would have been terminated, extinguished. 1.00

00:36:41.880 But I believe that by doing what we did, 1.00

00:36:45.180 by terminating Iran, 1.00

00:36:47.220 who's very evil people, leaving that country. 1.00

00:36:51.820 You saw the number of protesters that they killed,

00:36:54.260 52,000-plus. I put a couple of them up today.

00:36:57.540 Young kids, they kill them. 0.99

00:36:58.640 They kill them like they're candy. 0.99

00:37:02.780 It's crazy what they do. 0.97

00:37:06.020 They treat them so badly, they're just killing people

00:37:08.980 just at random.

00:37:10.520 Over 52,000 people, and nobody talks about it.

00:37:13.820 But if I didn't do the attack on their nuclear sites,

00:37:19.160 or if I didn't terminate the Obama agreement with Iran, 0.69

00:37:22.960 which was an absolute hit on having them get —

00:37:29.860 that was a road to a nuclear weapon.

00:37:32.400 And our deal will be a wall. It already is.

00:37:35.700 They can't have a nuclear weapon right now.

00:37:37.200 It would take them years to produce it.

00:37:39.340 And we will absolutely attack, we —

00:37:42.480 you know, the new site that they're talking about.

00:37:45.580 I mean, how about these people?

00:37:47.960 They're in this because of nuclear weapons

00:37:49.680 and they're trying to possibly reconstitute a site.

00:37:54.920 We'll hit that site.

00:37:56.120 Any site where they're even thinking about nuclear,

00:37:58.820 we'll be hitting it very, very powerfully. 1.00

00:38:00.700 Now, nobody knows, except the Iranians, 1.00

00:38:04.920 the damage that we've done to them. 1.00

00:38:06.900 We have done damage that will take them 20,

00:38:11.360 25 years to recover from.

00:38:13.540 So, if we left tomorrow, we had a big success.

00:38:17.240 But we're not leaving tomorrow. 0.99

00:38:18.740 There's a bill right now that's being considered that would allow illegal aliens who are working

00:38:28.220 in farming to get legal status.

00:38:30.620 Do you support that legislation?

00:38:31.620 I don't know about it.

00:38:32.620 I'll take a look at it.

00:38:33.620 The President on your terrace last night, the Canada Terrace, are those a response to

00:38:39.620 the wildfires in?

00:38:40.620 No.

00:38:41.620 No.

00:38:42.620 That's separate.

00:38:43.620 We're looking at that separately.

00:38:44.620 And is there anything Canada can do?

00:38:45.620 response to the way they've treated our farmers and our people you know canada has been very very

00:38:51.860 tough on us over the years for many years and no other president's done anything about it i love

00:38:57.620 canada i love the people of canada many friends that live in canada but their leadership from

00:39:03.220 trudeau to the current leadership um i mean in all fairness to them they need us to survive

00:39:10.020 Without us, there's no way they can survive.

00:39:14.020 So, but they've been very, very tough over a period

00:39:17.020 of the last 50 years, actually.

00:39:20.020 The Press Press on Syria.

00:39:25.020 Tony Murat, ABC ITV, from Lebanon.

00:39:27.020 Do you still support Syria entering Lebanon to disarm Hezbollah?

00:39:31.020 You mean coming in and doing something with Hezbollah? 0.86

00:39:34.020 Yes.

00:39:35.020 Well, it's a concept, you know.

00:39:36.020 We get along very well with the President of Syria.

00:39:38.020 Syria has done a very good job.

00:39:39.660 I wouldn't be surprised if this gentleman is going to do a job just like that.

00:39:42.780 He's done a very good job.

00:39:43.780 He's pulled Syria together. 1.00

00:39:45.980 He would like to come in and do something with Hezbollah.

00:39:50.300 You know, they've been fighting.

00:39:51.200 He's been fighting Hezbollah for a long time. 0.99

00:39:53.340 I think it'd be very effective. 1.00

00:39:55.380 So it's something I think.

00:39:56.380 President, on tariffs, you've increased tariffs on Canada yesterday.

00:40:04.140 you say if you still expect to impose tariffs on the wildfire problem and can you say when you

00:40:09.140 might impose 301 a lot of damage has been done they're not managing their forests properly and

00:40:14.420 the wind has a tendency to blow right over new york city right over you saw detroit that it closed

00:40:20.240 the whole place michigan was really affected they had to close businesses for four days

00:40:25.720 it's very serious what they're doing and they don't seem to be able to do anything about it

00:40:31.300 If they managed their forests, they wouldn't have the fires. 0.99

00:40:36.340 Do you believe that Iran is trying to impact the midterm elections by threatening the street of hormones?

00:40:43.180 They won't have any impact on me.

00:40:45.280 I'm just going to do the right thing.

00:40:46.640 I don't view it as, gee, we're having an election in a period of time.

00:40:50.900 Everyone says, oh, I'm doing something before.

00:40:53.200 Now, the election, I can't think about that having to do with this.

00:40:58.820 I think people are very impressed.

00:41:00.260 I mean, we took over Venezuela.

00:41:02.800 We now have a great relationship with Venezuela.

00:41:05.340 We went to war with Venezuela, and the war ended in one day.

00:41:10.280 And we have now an incredible relationship with Venezuela. 0.96

00:41:14.340 We're taking out millions of barrels of oil.

00:41:16.700 They're making more money now than they ever made before, ever.

00:41:19.940 And we're making a lot of money. 0.71

00:41:21.780 We paid for the war many times over with Venezuela. 0.95

00:41:24.680 We lost nobody. We lost nobody. 0.94

00:41:27.040 we didn't lose one and I was a violent attack as you know we took out a man who

00:41:33.100 was a very evil man what he did was very evil many many in many different ways

00:41:37.180 we took took him out but you know the Venezuela they said the same thing when

00:41:43.600 I did Venezuela everyone said because look at the drugs look at look at what

00:41:46.780 they did where they took all of their prisons they opened up their prisons and

00:41:50.600 they have everybody in a prison come in through Biden's absolutely insane open

00:41:56.020 borders policy and we did that in one day think of it and now we are working very closely with

00:42:05.200 the administration and we get along very well venezuela is a very happy place had a tragic

00:42:12.060 incident with the uh you know with the event that took place a couple of days ago a couple of week

00:42:17.560 ago what a terrible thing that was they had a they had a movement a shifting of earth that was

00:42:24.180 unbelievable nobody's ever they've never seen anything like it a lot of people were killed

00:42:28.740 so it's all unrelated but by the way we were the first ones there to help we were there to help

00:42:34.340 venezuela it was an earthquake i guess you'd call it it was a pretty massive earthquake and we were

00:42:41.240 able to do a lot of good but they they lost a lot of people venezuela the people are so happy that

00:42:48.060 were there the jobs everything's happening and we're taking out many 0.83

00:42:53.040 many times the money that we spent on the war this one Iran is bigger it's more

00:43:01.000 it's a more complex situation but we're probably doing equally as well if you

00:43:06.040 look at the damage that's been done and again as I said to the young man that

00:43:10.920 just posed the question over here if we left today it would take them decades

00:43:17.880 decades to rebuild and I don't believe they could ever rebuild and honestly they haven't

00:43:23.760 seen anything yet. We've been nice. We've been nice.

00:43:27.960 Haley Bull with Scripps News. Thank you for the question. Do you believe that Iran has

00:43:36.940 moved nuclear centrifuges into pickaxe mountain? And when you say we're not done yet, what

00:43:42.080 is left to finish well i think that they they may have we don't have it on record all we do is read

00:43:49.040 the fake news you know we see the the news is so wrong so many times so you know maybe maybe this

00:43:55.040 one they have right but it's okay uh it doesn't mean anything unless they have the material you're

00:44:00.160 talking about the centrifuges yeah it doesn't mean anything unless they have the material they don't

00:44:03.920 have we follow the material that's where the action is and uh we'll be hitting that area very

00:44:09.920 Probably pretty soon and there's not not a thing they can do about it. You know, normally I wouldn't say that

00:44:15.440 If I thought they could do something about it. I would never say that but we'll be hitting that area pretty soon

00:44:21.620 and and very heavily

00:44:28.820 During the campaign I interviewed you and you told me on MTV Lebanon that the peace will happen in Lebanon and every word

00:44:36.000 you said during the interview it's happening today like from the first day in the administration

00:44:41.280 you were working hard for peace i have been here daily i understood lebanon and i understood how

00:44:48.320 horribly lebanon has been treated as a country they've been like a whipping post what's happened

00:44:53.200 with iran and with hezbollah but lebanon's been treated very incredibly badly and maybe i'm a

00:45:00.320 I'm a little prejudiced in favor of Lebanon

00:45:02.460 because I have so many Lebanese friends.

00:45:04.700 The Pressure of the Lebanese Army.

00:45:05.860 Well, no, but there's so many Lebanese friends.

00:45:08.400 And so I know I understand Lebanon.

00:45:10.160 Tom Barrack is Lebanese, the ambassador.

00:45:13.160 The Pressure of the Lebanese Army.

00:45:19.780 President Donald, the Lebanese Army currently

00:45:21.740 have the funding, equipment, and manpower

00:45:24.720 necessary to implement the agreement.

00:45:27.080 All you are asking today, President Trump,

00:45:29.080 for additional U.S. assistance today to do the job?

00:45:32.620 Definitely.

00:45:33.620 With the support of President Trump,

00:45:35.180 and we spoke on the phone, and I told him,

00:45:37.180 I need two things from you.

00:45:38.820 Political support and supporting of the LAF,

00:45:41.700 which is the LAF is the most trusted institution

00:45:44.360 in the country, and it has the most powerful weapon,

00:45:47.440 which is the trust of the public.

00:45:49.960 Like any armed forces in the world,

00:45:52.840 the Lebanese armed forces is the backbone

00:45:54.400 of security and stability.

00:45:56.780 We need to support the LAF.

00:45:59.220 The LAF maintains the country safe and stable.

00:46:01.800 Without the LAF, everything will collapse.

00:46:03.620 We don't want that.

00:46:04.460 I think President Trump doesn't want that.

00:46:06.400 In 1975, the first institution to collapse was the LAF.

00:46:10.600 And as a result, we saw the emergence

00:46:12.540 of many local militias, and the South was empty, 1.00

00:46:16.040 allowing the Palestinians to run the South 0.96

00:46:17.760 and launch attack against Israel. 1.00

00:46:19.580 We don't want to see that back again. 0.90

00:46:21.300 All we're asking is to keep supporting the LAF.

00:46:23.760 And they know that the LAF is doing a great job,

00:46:26.540 performing instituted to the fullest.

00:46:28.440 I fully trust the love.

00:46:29.680 I fully trust the leadership of the love.

00:46:31.780 Mr. President, they did a great step forward

00:46:37.780 with the recent signing with Israel.

00:46:39.520 That was a big step.

00:46:40.620 The Pressure of the President,

00:46:42.860 why didn't they allow a direct flight from America

00:46:45.260 to Lebanon again?

00:46:46.100 I'm Pedro from...

00:46:47.000 Mr. I can see that happening, absolutely.

00:46:48.460 The Pressure of the President.

00:46:50.840 The Pressure of the President, Tony Murad from NBC ITV.

00:46:53.800 So, Ambassador Issa, the U.S. Ambassador to Lebanon,

00:46:56.000 Michelle Issa, told me that the President

00:46:58.280 would not leave Washington empty-handed.

00:47:00.740 What concrete outcomes will you bring back to Lebanon?

00:47:05.140 The President, Mr. President,

00:47:09.140 thank you all very much.

00:47:11.080 We're doing very well with Iran.

00:47:12.820 We're doing unbelievably with the economy.

00:47:15.620 We have investment.

00:47:16.720 As you know, Toyota is coming in with the biggest plant,

00:47:21.160 I understand, anywhere in the world.

00:47:23.160 They're leaving Mexico. 1.00

00:47:24.200 They're coming into our country. 0.98

00:47:26.560 They're going to come into Texas, to be specific.

00:47:29.540 We have more plants under construction now

00:47:31.800 than at any time, by far, by many times.

00:47:35.340 We have over $19.2 trillion being spent in America,

00:47:39.640 and they're going to be opening up in a year,

00:47:41.580 a year and a half.

00:47:42.980 And there's never been a time like this in America.

00:47:46.520 Truly, it's the golden age of America.

00:47:48.760 Thank you very much, everybody.

00:47:50.020 Okay, you just saw the beginning

00:48:04.940 of the bilat. The Lebanese president's

00:48:07.080 going to stay. 0.86

00:48:10.220 I think

00:48:11.220 just to put it in a nutshell, if you look

00:48:13.120 at the Middle East as a map,

00:48:15.180 maybe I'll get a map for the afternoon show.

00:48:16.900 um you've at least from the president's words i think you're now expanded the war officially or

00:48:26.200 technically with this involvement in um in lebanon which it sounds like the president's

00:48:33.700 100 supporting but we'll see after this meeting i think he's staying for lunch after this meeting

00:48:39.120 the bilat um you'll get uh we'll get more of a feedback but i think you've got that front of the

00:48:45.760 war, then now it looks like the president's supporting this deal or the structure of this

00:48:51.920 signed agreement where Lebanon's going to take the responsibility for taking the arms of Hezbollah

00:48:59.220 and having Hezbollah stand down. The United States will be obviously very involved in that. It sounds

00:49:04.880 like the United States is the sponsor of this. I mean, that's what it means in so many words. And

00:49:10.200 This was Marco Rubio's idea and construct.

00:49:15.440 He also had, I think, some questions.

00:49:18.320 Now, the president said they really haven't notified the United States,

00:49:21.240 but you have this whole opening, at least the Houthis are saying publicly, 0.93

00:49:25.800 that they're going to do what the Iranians have done in the Strait of Hormuz,

00:49:31.620 that they're going to actually close it and make sure that they're in charge 0.98

00:49:38.780 of the gateway to the Suez Canal, and obviously anything from the Suez Canal that comes down

00:49:43.960 all the way to this very tight strait at the mouth of the Gulf of Aden in the Red Sea.

00:49:56.680 So President Trump, once again, I think he said on the situation with the nuclear material,

00:50:04.140 you're going to hear from us very quickly and something's going to happen.

00:50:06.560 So those, he also said that they're begging him for a meeting, but once again, he doesn't know who he can deal with. This is something we've talked about from the very beginning. After you do a decapitation of their senior military, particularly the Revolutionary Guard, there's, I think, a big gap between, I don't know if there are any moderates, but some of the political leaders in the military, which like you've only gotten more hardcore because you've killed the senior

00:50:36.540 command and you know they're not uh they're not bringing in jeffersonian democrats to train early

00:50:42.900 on you even have harder core uh and the president i think once again said you know who you even deal

00:50:48.240 with so um there's outreach on that um on the and i want to know if we can i i guess because pull

00:50:58.120 that pull the chinese communist party clip also about the the voter integrity to me the most

00:51:04.300 disturbing part of it was about the 2020 election, where he seemed like, well, I'm not going to do

00:51:12.540 anything with China. They're going to meet. They've changed dramatically. And this is pretty

00:51:17.580 compelling evidence of the Chinese Communist Party's involvement in manipulating voter data.

00:51:25.240 Remember, they didn't buy these things commercially. They have a cyber unit that is

00:51:29.700 constantly attacking cyber attacks we know this people have come up even former fbi director

00:51:35.660 saying it's one of the number one threats the united states is the cyber attacks of these

00:51:39.240 special military units of the people's liberation army that are attacking constantly our electrical

00:51:45.260 grid testing uh every aspect of infrastructure we have in fact this is discussion of how they

00:51:51.260 even embedded uh have they even embedded devices into some of the infrastructure we buy

00:51:57.600 from china have they embedded those actually into um actually into the devices themselves to make it

00:52:04.640 to make it easier we know i think it's 600 billion dollars a year 600 billion dollars a year

00:52:10.020 intellectual property is stolen or they take 600 billion dollars a year in intellectual property

00:52:18.140 from our corporations now the majority of this and maybe even the vast majority of this is given

00:52:24.040 up by American companies because you have to get into mainland China as an American company or a

00:52:31.220 company that's not Chinese or state-owned. You have to form a joint venture. Part of the joint

00:52:35.900 venture is you have to put in your intellectual property. To be able to monetize it, to make

00:52:41.120 things in China, you have to put it into a joint venture, which is kind of run by the state-owned

00:52:48.040 industry you've got as a partner or the financial entity you've got as a partner and of course they

00:52:54.540 take that they take that because they're not particularly innovative they take that and then

00:53:01.400 and produce it themselves and eventually compete with us 600 billion dollars a year

00:53:05.360 multiple studies have have proven that and and backed it up a big part of that though is cyber

00:53:12.160 cyber hacking by these elements. And now they have AI and cyber combined. They're even more of a

00:53:19.500 more of a threat than they've than they've ever been. The president right there, just reporting

00:53:25.240 on what he said, didn't seem to be particularly upset about it, of which many of us, particularly

00:53:29.920 the anti-CCP wing that does not want the CCP to have any involvement in U.S. elections or in U.S.

00:53:36.360 life, American life. And they have viewed Donald Trump as the biggest threat to the established

00:53:43.500 order that has been established with ever since Tiananmen Square when Bush 41 went there. Do I

00:53:50.100 have, okay, hold the China and I want to play the others. Let's play the other, let's play the other

00:53:54.540 clips so you can see what just happened. No, I think Lebanon has a very important place.

00:54:00.340 what is your level of concern of a blockade of the red sea by the houthi rebels opening

00:54:11.540 up another front what happens so far it hasn't happened might happen uh but we take care of

00:54:17.980 things if something like that happens we take care of it you know we've done that with the houthis

00:54:22.500 before and we haven't heard from them in a while since we did what we did originally that was

00:54:28.620 about 45 days of very powerful action we took against the Houthis and we've had no problem

00:54:36.000 with the Houthis. They've had no problem with us for a long period of time, including during 0.96

00:54:41.500 this conflict. I think that if there is something like that, we'll just have to take care of

00:54:46.580 business. Mr. President, there are no signs that Iran is ready to stop fighting. So what is the 0.90

00:54:53.720 plan. Is the plan to just keep bombing until they give up? There are no signs. What do you know

00:54:58.880 something that I don't know? Well, they continue to attack our allies. You don't know what the

00:55:02.640 dialogue is behind the scenes that they want to meet desperately to try and end it because they're

00:55:07.180 getting decimated. You don't get that when you listen to your fake station, but you don't know.

00:55:14.300 You don't know anything. So you know something that I don't know? Do you know something I don't

00:55:19.180 know well tell us uh i will tell you they want to desperately meet and until they're ready to

00:55:25.760 meet in a meaningful way we have no interest in even okay uh let's go to danielle buck is uh we'll

00:55:33.440 get to more of this at five o'clock and we'll have the chinese comics party danielle buck your head

00:55:37.460 of strategic partnerships and relationships coalitions over at patriot mobile tell us what

00:55:43.240 you guys are working on you're one of our favorite companies well thank you uh you're one of our

00:55:48.180 favorite too. Gosh, there is so much going on over here at Patriot Mobile. Just last night,

00:55:53.000 I actually was in deep East Texas with a group of advocates, just talking about the state of

00:55:57.240 our country and the state of the conservative party and how we really can all work together,

00:56:02.260 obviously, as we lead up for November. How do we each do our part, not just to stay energized and

00:56:07.820 to stay unified, but also to bring the next 10 people that maybe feel a little disinterested or

00:56:12.360 discouraged to go and vote. And so it's so exciting to be part of so many initiatives

00:56:16.520 at Patriot Mobile and to have honestly the wind in our back of so many people behind us. Many of

00:56:21.620 your listeners who are Patriot Mobile customers who are being reminded every month when they pay

00:56:25.920 that cell phone bill with us that their money is going to fund the movement, right? Just last week,

00:56:30.520 I had an opportunity to meet with one of our veteran organizations. And it was just so cool

00:56:34.660 to hear about these veterans face-to-face saying, you know, this organization helped change my life.

00:56:40.380 You know, I went and served my country. I fought. I lost limbs for our country. And thank you for

00:56:46.080 helping me rebuild my life. Thank you for helping me be the father, the husband, the employee that

00:56:50.520 I want to be through those organizations that we support, like Boot Campaign, Soldier Strong,

00:56:56.200 Folds of Honor, and so, so many others. There's a new one we're actually working with called

00:57:00.440 Mighty Oaks Foundation that actually brings in Christ as part of the solution for these veterans

00:57:04.760 as they're struggling with their PTSD, anxiety, depression, marriage trouble, whatever. And so

00:57:09.040 anyways, it is just so fun as my job is to get to work with all these groups. I think we have about

00:57:13.400 45 cause partners that we give money to. Last year, we gave over $3 million away. And this

00:57:18.600 year, we're planning to give more. And that's only because of people at home like yourself

00:57:22.000 who are watching this today who have your cell phone with Patriot Mobile. And many at home,

00:57:26.920 and even last night, I had many people asking me, does it really make a difference? And I'm like,

00:57:30.520 I promise you it does because you're $25 and you're $50 and you're hotspot with us.

00:57:35.240 It all adds up. You're small business. It all adds up to really make meaningful work for people

00:57:40.260 out there who are trying to save our country. I know that you've had Jenny's story on

00:57:44.140 this program many, many times talking about our efforts here in Texas when it comes to fighting 1.00

00:57:48.580 Islamification here. And also so many of our efforts in so many other areas. We talk a lot 1.00

00:57:54.680 about the pro-life movement because it matters, right? Every single life is precious. But also,

00:57:59.020 I think we sometimes disregard the First Amendment and what's happening when it comes to the Supreme

00:58:04.220 Court. Obviously, we've had some really interesting decisions come out last month.

00:58:07.300 And how do we, as believers, as conservatives, stay strong?

00:58:11.280 How do we support these organizations like Alliance Defending Freedom and First Liberty

00:58:14.680 that are really doing that fight and representing us and that freedom that so many have fought

00:58:21.060 for?

00:58:21.740 Just this weekend, I don't know if you've had a chance to go see it, but I went and

00:58:24.360 saw that Young Washington movie that came out.

00:58:26.460 And it was such a reminder of being a patriot for me.

00:58:29.520 Like, obviously, I work here at Patriot Mobile.

00:58:31.020 I get to work with all these amazing organizations and be reminded of all the good.

00:58:34.460 But just seeing the heart of George Washington and how it honestly, at the end of the day, went back to his love for scripture and how that scripture and how our founders wove that into the documents of founding this great nation 250 years ago and how our country should be a beacon of hope and light to the entire world.

00:58:52.700 Just watching that press conference as you were covering it earlier and just thinking of that and thinking of my children.

00:58:58.660 I have three and six-year-old little boys at home.

00:59:01.060 And, you know, what I want to teach them about America and how being a patriot is such an integral part of that.

00:59:06.900 And I love that being at Patriot Mobile, we get to do that full circle.

00:59:10.760 You know, I get to bring them into what we do here.

00:59:13.820 Just this coming weekend, I'm actually headed to Nashville to sponsor a veteran and first responder event in Nashville.

00:59:20.400 And I get to bring my kids to show them, you know, these are the men and women who have

00:59:25.540 fought so hard and we want to support them and stand beside them.

00:59:28.220 We actually have a group of firefighters joining us and their spouses that I can't wait for

00:59:32.120 them to get to visit with my little boys just about what they do and serve every day.

00:59:36.040 And so it is such a fun part of a family here at Patriot Mobile.

00:59:41.000 And so if you're at home and you're listening to me talk and you're saying, yeah, I keep

00:59:44.020 hearing about you guys, but I've never joined, you shouldn't wait any longer.

00:59:46.780 You should call us today, 972-PATRIOT.

00:59:48.880 But your phone will work exactly the same, I promise, or probably even better.

00:59:53.100 And you get to support this amazing work that we're doing.

00:59:56.680 I promise when you read our emails, when you see our posts on social media, you will be

01:00:00.240 encouraged and you will be so glad that your cell phone company is supporting these amazing
