Goldie Ghamari - Live Q&A： USA, Iran, Israel, China & What Happens Next

00:00:00.000 Here we go.

00:00:08.020 There are new nuke hine virons to the wall.

00:00:14.000 We need this existing gold and gold,

00:00:18.280 and this is your future,

00:00:20.600 he wants you to.

00:00:22.400 Well, all of us,

00:00:25.160 we love it anyway.

00:00:28.020 Thank you.

00:00:58.020 Thank you.

00:01:28.020 Thank you. 1.00

00:01:58.020 The terrorist Islamic regime 1.00

00:02:26.120 that's been occupying Iran for the last 47 years is currently in a state of collapse and President 0.61

00:02:32.360 Trump is taking full advantage of the situation. Yesterday he said that the Islamic regime has 0.94

00:02:39.720 agreed to allow the United States to go in and get the nuclear dust and this has caused a state of

00:02:48.200 frenzy within the various factions of the Islamic regime. I have a feeling that President Trump is

00:02:54.760 saying this because he knows that what he said is going to contribute to the infighting and the

00:03:01.560 Islamic regime will collapse much more quickly. I'm Goldie Gamari, former Canadian politician

00:03:07.280 and current human rights activist, and you're watching Goldie Unfiltered.

00:03:11.560 one thing you need to know is that ever since the United States and Israel exterminated Khamenei

00:03:26.780 the supreme dictator of the Islamic regime back on February 28 and we Iranians are forever grateful

00:03:33.240 to Israel and the United States for doing that by the way ever since then there has been a power

00:03:39.200 struggle within the various factions of the Islamic regime, where various people are vying

00:03:45.640 for power. Because ultimately, in a dictatorship, it's the dictator that keeps everyone glued

00:03:52.560 together. And while Khamenei was alive, everyone listened to him. But now that he's been dead and

00:03:59.600 eradicated off the face of the earth, there's been a power void. And of course, the current

00:04:04.840 supreme dictator mushtaba he's a piece of cardboard we don't know where he is we haven't seen any

00:04:11.080 signs of life that's a whole other scenario that i'm going to talk about in a different video so

00:04:16.120 make sure that you like and subscribe to my channel for future updates but getting back on

00:04:21.320 topic let's see what president trump said yesterday and how this is impacting the collapse of the

00:04:27.960 the Islamic regime.

00:04:58.680 but i have a plan you know it is a very simple plan i don't know why you don't

00:05:02.920 say it like it is iran cannot have a nuclear weapon yeah and you know one of the things

00:05:07.880 that president trump has made very clear from the beginning is that the only deal he's interested in 0.84

00:05:13.880 is unconditional surrender so the islamic regime has two options they can surrender unconditionally 0.84

00:05:20.520 or President Trump will resume with the military operation and eradicate them. 0.94

00:05:27.340 That's been the deal the entire time.

00:05:31.080 President Trump is not interested in anything else.

00:05:35.160 They're very dangerous. They're very volatile.

00:05:38.280 It's a terrible thing that's happened over there.

00:05:41.460 They've killed 42,000 people in the last two months.

00:05:45.900 42,000 people in two days alone, over 42,000 on January 8 and 9.

00:05:52.420 At least, that's what we know of.

00:05:54.440 At least, I just said that, at least 42,000 people.

00:05:58.900 And that's just what we know of officially. 0.88

00:06:03.160 And there's a reason that the Islamic regime has shut down the internet and kept the internet cut off. 0.80

00:06:08.040 because they don't want the outside world to know how big the massacre of Iranians actually has been. 0.55

00:06:18.340 In the last two months, 42,000, at least that's what we know of, 42,000 people.

00:06:23.520 They killed numerous people over the last week, but they killed 42,000 people a month ago, a month and a half ago.

00:06:31.980 They were unarmed protesters, not at all violent protesters.

00:06:36.600 and they started taking them out shooting them so we're not going to let them that's the plan

00:06:42.480 you know people say what's the plan the plan is very simple the blockade first of all was a

00:06:48.920 part of military genius just like venezuela was military genius we have the greatest military

00:06:54.240 of the world by far and we're stocked up with great ammunition we have much better stuff than

00:06:59.760 we did uh two months ago when we first did the attack which knocked him for a loop but

00:07:05.500 very simple. Iran cannot have 0.99

00:07:08.740 a nuclear weapon.

00:07:10.640 Can't have it. And if they did have it,

00:07:12.740 the Middle East would be gone, Israel would be gone, 1.00

00:07:14.940 and they'd hit Europe probably next. 0.96

00:07:16.900 We're doing a service to the world.

00:07:19.460 And this has gone on for 47

00:07:20.740 years. Other presidents and leaders

00:07:22.660 of other countries that have the power

00:07:24.780 should have done it, but they didn't do it.

00:07:27.320 But it's a very simple plan. 0.62

00:07:29.660 Iran cannot have a nuclear

00:07:30.860 weapon, and they won't have a nuclear weapon.

00:07:32.820 And they didn't want to go that far. 1.00

00:07:34.820 if you can believe it they didn't how stupid are they stupid people they didn't want to believe it 1.00

00:07:41.380 they think that well i'll get tired of this i'll get bored or i'll have some pressure but 1.00

00:07:45.940 well they are stupid that's true the the islamic regime they are stupid but they're also very 1.00

00:07:51.620 manipulative and the tactic that they're using right now and i'm glad that president trump is 1.00

00:07:56.660 calling it out right because that's been the tactic of the islamic regime lie and delay so 0.97

00:08:02.260 they'll lie and they'll try to delay and they'll say one thing to your face but then they'll say 0.95

00:08:07.460 another thing behind your back and that has been the strategy of the islamic regime not only that 0.63

00:08:13.140 but they also have paid uh paid propagandists in the west you know for example naiak the national

00:08:20.020 iranian american council uh their their main lobby group uh for the islamic regime and then there's

00:08:26.900 also you know other propagandists other pundits they pay social media influencers they pay

00:08:32.900 podcasters to you know spread and promote their islamic regime anti-america anti-israel propaganda

00:08:40.100 but thankfully president trump uh he's seen through all that and he is seeing through all that 0.51

00:08:45.220 and you know president trump is the first president since the islamic regime took over 0.62

00:08:51.140 iran in 1979 to call out the islamic regime and to make sure that their tactics don't go anywhere 0.52

00:09:01.700 there's no pressure there's no pressure at all we're going to have a complete victory

00:09:06.420 we've already in theory had a complete victory from the military standpoint the military look

00:09:11.380 the navy is dead they have 150 they had 159 you know that's really interesting when president

00:09:17.300 Trump says, we are going to have a complete victory. But then he says, we've already had

00:09:25.040 a complete victory from a military standpoint. So what that makes me think

00:09:32.120 is that the victory President Trump is looking for is not only a military victory, the victory

00:09:42.360 that President Trump is actually looking for and seeking out is the complete eradication 0.55

00:09:49.940 of the Islamic regime. That's the real victory that President Trump is interested in. Because 0.96

00:09:55.880 otherwise, why would he say, I'm looking for total victory? Oh, but we also already had a

00:10:02.440 military victory, right? Like he's differentiating between the two types of victories that he's

00:10:08.380 looking for. Pay attention. Let me go back a little bit here. Pay attention to this part.

00:10:12.580 Pressure at all. We're going to have a complete victory. We've already, in theory, had a complete

00:10:17.580 victory from the military standpoint. The military, look, their Navy is dead. They had 159 ships.

00:10:24.760 Right now they have zero, other than the little speedboats that go around that got taken out

00:10:28.360 eight a day by us. They have no air force. They have no anti-aircraft. Now they probably put

00:10:35.460 to shoulder jobs into service over the last three weeks, probably.

00:10:42.640 But essentially, they have no anti-aircraft.

00:10:44.900 They have no radar.

00:10:46.400 And frankly, their leaders have been killed at the first level, second level,

00:10:50.000 and half at the third level.

00:10:52.080 And then they come back, and they want to negotiate, 1.00

00:10:55.820 and they give us a stupid proposal. 1.00

00:10:57.380 It's a stupid proposal. 1.00

00:10:59.440 Nobody would take it, although Obama would have taken it. 1.00

00:11:01.820 Biden would have taken it.

00:11:02.900 What they took was far worse.

00:11:04.500 Yeah, they did.

00:11:04.940 So we stopped him twice. We stopped him when I terminated the worst deal probably ever made in the history of our country in terms of defense. That was the Iran nuclear deal by Barack, penned by Barack Hussein Obama. That would have given.

00:11:19.180 Yeah, that was the JCPOA. Terrible deal. The JCPOA, by the way, was promoted and supported by the National Iranian American Council, right? That's the lobby group of the Islamic regime. So they're big supporters of the JCPOA because that was basically giving the Islamic regime sort of a backdoor opportunity to develop nuclear weapons. And that's exactly what the Islamic regime had been doing.

00:11:43.960 I ran a nuclear weapon within a year. They would have had it years ago. I terminated that in my first term. And then when that beautiful plane right there hit them hard, we really hit them hard. And they told me, I want to just tell you this because they like to say, oh, well, maybe it wasn't that hard to hit. 1.00

00:12:02.300 Iran told me very strongly, because they intend to give us the nuclear dust, as I call it. It's

00:12:07.800 easier than talking about other terms, because it's a term everyone like, but the nuclear dust,

00:12:12.660 which is what we hit. And they told me, number one, you're getting it, but you're going to have

00:12:17.780 to take it out. So this is really interesting. This is what I mean when I say that President

00:12:23.560 Trump is pitting various factions of the Islamic regime against one another, because he's claiming

00:12:31.240 that they told me that they're going to give up all of the nuclear dust. Who's they? Because right

00:12:41.980 now, no one knows who is in control in occupied Iran. The Islamic regime, various factions,

00:12:48.820 right? You have Vahidi on one side, you have Qalibov on the other, you have Jalili, you have

00:12:55.140 all these various uh terrorists who are vying for power vying for uh you know complete control

00:13:02.660 and that state of internal infighting is only going to increase and get even worse because

00:13:12.740 the islamic regime has said in very clear and plain terms on islamic regime state tv

00:13:21.380 that they will never give up their uranium dust and they will never stop trying to build a nuclear weapon. 0.96

00:13:33.960 They have very plainly and clearly said on Islamic regime state TV that uranium enrichment is their right 0.83

00:13:44.980 and that they have a right to build a nuclear bomb. 0.86

00:13:49.760 So it's very interesting that President Trump is now saying that certain elements within the Islamic regime 0.93

00:13:59.600 have agreed to give up all of the nuclear dust. 0.67

00:14:04.340 Meanwhile, there are other elements that are very loudly and aggressively saying,

00:14:10.080 no deal. We're never going to allow the Americans to step foot on Iranian soil and to take the

00:14:19.160 nuclear dust. So by President Trump admitting this fact, saying this fact, what he's basically doing 0.95

00:14:27.280 is now everyone within the Islamic regime, they're going to be looking at one another,

00:14:31.400 they're going to be pointing fingers at one another and being like, who said this? Who's

00:14:34.860 the traitor? Who's the traitor that's betraying the Islamic regime? So he's made the situation 0.73

00:14:41.420 very uncomfortable, very difficult for the Islamic regime. And this is only going to escalate the

00:14:49.600 infighting that we're seeing right now, which will ultimately lead to the collapse of the

00:14:55.180 Islamic regime. So what President Trump is saying here, this is genius. This is genius, because if

00:15:01.240 there are internal factions that have told President Trump that they're willing to allow

00:15:08.280 the Americans to come and take the nuclear dust, they probably agreed to that in secret, right?

00:15:14.320 Because they would probably say to President Trump, okay, okay, like, we'll agree to this. But

00:15:18.940 don't don't make it public yet. You know, we'll agree to it. Let's end this. And then you guys

00:15:24.100 can come in. But President Trump, he's just putting it out there because he knows this is

00:15:28.420 going to light a fire within the IRGC. This is going to make them even angrier. And yeah, it's

00:15:35.960 it's full on like Game of Thrones within the Islamic regime right now where everyone's vying

00:15:40.900 for power. And President Trump is just, you know, taking a step back. And, you know, he's he's he's

00:15:48.060 he's basically adding fuel to the fire with this statement. The site was so obliterated that there's

00:15:55.980 only one or two countries in the world that could get it. It's so deep and got hit so

00:16:01.500 hard that there's no way they have the equipment to move it. You and China are the only two 1.00

00:16:06.560 countries in the world that could take it out. So we talked about it. They said, you'll 1.00

00:16:11.960 have to take it out because we don't have the capability of doing it. So for those people

00:16:16.380 that like to say that those great pilots in those great planes, well, we just ordered

00:16:21.240 22 more of them knew and improved that those great pilots didn't do their job they did their job

00:16:29.400 one o'clock in the morning with no moon no light no nothing every single bomb had its targets and

00:16:34.960 then as you know we shot some incredible things there's things that nobody else has nobody has

00:16:44.040 a military like we have we shot the tomahawks from a submarine 200 miles away and that went

00:16:50.620 on top of it. But every one of those, including the Tomahawks, every one of those weapons and 0.55

00:16:56.760 shots hit perfectly. And they said to me, just to put it on the record, they said to me,

00:17:03.020 there are only two countries in the entire world that could ever get that stuff out of there.

00:17:08.300 You know, I highly, highly doubt that the factions within the Islamic regime 0.82

00:17:18.060 that agreed to president trump uh you know having americans go in and take the the nuclear dust

00:17:24.920 i have a feeling that they actually might not have wanted it on the record because this is

00:17:32.240 only going to contribute to the further infighting within the islamic regime so um this is president

00:17:39.460 trump pretty much trolling them and and i'm here for it i'm here for this this like guys this is

00:17:47.480 how you deal with terrorists because you cannot trust them uh if their lips are moving they're

00:17:54.180 lying we don't have the equipment and nobody else they said china and the united states so

00:18:01.640 yeah you don't you don't want china going in there because china is actually supporting the

00:18:06.920 islamic regime behind the scenes right now so that's going to be a very interesting

00:18:10.140 uh trip that president trump has when he goes to china actually i just want to let you know those

00:18:15.800 pilots did an unbelievable job very dangerous job at one o'clock in the morning think of it

00:18:22.040 no no moon no nothing we had no light purposely and every single one of those bombs were right

00:18:29.540 down an air chute in a granite mountain and exploded and they are unable to get it even

00:18:36.880 if they wanted to but we're not going to take a chance so that's part of the deal

00:18:40.540 So, sir, do you guys agree to allow the removal of all their risks?

00:18:45.300 Yeah, yeah.

00:18:46.200 Well, they did it two days ago.

00:18:48.120 They didn't, okay?

00:18:50.260 They did two days ago.

00:18:52.160 They said, you're going to have to take it.

00:18:53.960 We were going to go with them.

00:18:55.720 But they changed their mind because they didn't put it in the paper.

00:18:58.620 So when they sent us this document that we waited four days for,

00:19:01.620 that should have taken 10 minutes to do, it's looking very simple.

00:19:05.700 We get that.

00:19:06.380 They guarantee no nuclear weapons for a very long period of time and a couple of other minor things, but they just can't get there.

00:19:14.320 So they agree with us and then they take it back. 0.98

00:19:17.980 Yeah, that's that's that has been the strategy of the Islamic regime for the last 47 years. 0.96

00:19:24.400 They'll agree to something, but then they go back and then they change their minds. 0.64

00:19:28.640 And in this case, the reason that's happening is because you have the other factions who are saying, why the heck would you agree to this?

00:19:37.140 This is not part of the strategy. You know, this is like, you know, no, no deal with the Americans, no negotiations with the Americans because the Islamic regime, you know, 0.85

00:19:46.480 And one of the core foundational pillars of the Islamic regime is this never ending war that they began against the United States and Israel back in 1979 when they took over. 0.83

00:19:59.980 So one of their core pillars is this war with the West. 0.97

00:20:06.480 And this is what their supporters expect from them. 0.94

00:20:11.220 So if the Islamic regime were to say, hey, you know, we're going to allow the Americans to come in and take the nuclear dust, that will effectively destroy the Islamic regime because all of their supporters will say, what the heck is going on? 0.86

00:20:30.760 Why are you conceding and surrendering to the Americans and the Israelis when they exterminated our supreme leader, Khamenei, right? 0.81

00:20:44.200 So if the Islamic regime were to actually allow the Americans to come in and take the nuclear dust, that would effectively be the end of the Islamic regime. 0.77

00:20:55.640 They would lose all credibility amongst whatever support they have left within within occupied Iran, which is roughly, I would say, five percent of the population at this point. 0.77

00:21:07.760 So, yeah, that's why they say one thing to President Trump.

00:21:11.160 But then publicly they say something completely different because they know they know that if they were going to agree to the deal that President Trump wants, that would be the end of them.

00:21:23.240 And this is why President Trump has been very, very clear about the type of deal that he wants, because President Trump, right, going back to what he said earlier, he's not only interested in a military victory, he's interested in a total and complete victory.

00:21:42.580 And what that victory looks like to President Trump is the collapse of the Islamic regime. 0.89

00:21:50.660 And the Islamic regime knows that. 0.63

00:21:52.020 So they're in a checkmate position right now because if they agree to the deal, they're pretty much done. 0.79

00:21:59.400 If they don't agree to the deal, they're pretty much done because the United States are going to exterminate them anyway. 0.81

00:22:05.720 So at this point, really, for the Islamic regime, it's just a matter of how long will this continue until either they collapse internally or the Americans go back in. 0.83

00:22:20.820 Now, the Islamic regime, they're trying to delay this, right? 0.93

00:22:25.820 Because, again, the Islamic regime has always survived through lying and through delay tactics. 0.97

00:22:31.200 But, of course, President Trump is seeing through that right now. 0.93

00:22:34.980 And I have a feeling that the Islamic regime's time is running out much sooner than people will think. 0.99

00:23:04.980 Obliterate. We have the greatest military in the world. I built it largely in my first term, 1.00

00:23:10.880 and I didn't know I'd be using it quite this much in my second term.

00:23:15.260 I mean, we're not complaining. We're happy. Like, just use it as much as you want against

00:23:19.560 the Islamic regime. The Muslim Nazis, completely, completely happy with that. 1.00

00:23:25.400 But very simply, when they say, does he have a plan? Yeah, I have a plan. The plan is very simple. 0.78

00:23:31.540 You know, in war, you have to change. You have to be flexible. You have a lot of plans, but you have to do different plans in different days.

00:23:38.340 But I have a great plan. But the plan is they cannot have a nuclear weapon. And they didn't say that in their letter.

00:23:45.360 Mr. President, the leadership changes that you've talked about in Iran.

00:23:50.560 Is this still a leadership that you believe you can negotiate with and ultimately reach a piece of weight?

00:23:56.160 Well, you have two. You have the moderates and you have the lunatics. 0.98

00:24:00.180 And I think the moderates are more respected. 0.99

00:24:04.180 The lunatics want to fight till the end, you know. 0.80

00:24:06.540 I mean, there are no moderates. 0.98

00:24:09.940 There are no moderates within the Islamic regime. 0.99

00:24:12.200 They're all evil. 0.97

00:24:13.960 The moderates are the ones who will lie to your face and pretend that they're reasonable. 1.00

00:24:19.640 But then behind your back, they'll go and, you know, they'll stab you in the back. 0.99

00:24:23.280 the the lunatics the hardliners are the ones uh who will just you know try to stab you right in 0.99

00:24:29.040 the chest um president trump knows this however president trump knows this and the reason that 0.98

00:24:34.620 i believe he knows that there's no difference between the two is because of what marco rubio

00:24:39.300 has said marco rubio recently came out and said that uh you know there are there's no difference

00:24:44.280 between moderates and hardliners they're all the same so um i think president trump knows that 0.58

00:24:50.100 But again, what I see here is President Trump is using this fake narrative that the Islamic regime itself has created, right?

00:24:59.500 Because this narrative of moderate versus hardliner comes from the Islamic regime itself.

00:25:05.680 And these moderates, right, again, they're all within the system.

00:25:10.940 And ultimately, there is no good Nazi.

00:25:14.320 A Nazi is a Nazi. 0.87

00:25:15.560 And it's the same thing with the Islamic regime.

00:25:17.220 But I have a feeling, once again, President Trump is saying this because by saying, oh, yeah, you know, the moderates are reasonable, this is going to cause further infighting within the Islamic regime.

00:25:30.280 And it's going to create and cause even more division between the various factions of the Islamic regime.

00:25:37.980 So that's how I see this playing out with what President Trump is saying right now,

00:25:45.500 with this sort of fake division between the moderates and the hardliners. 0.98

00:25:51.660 It'll be a very quick fight, but I call them, just like our country, we have lunatics too. 1.00

00:26:00.220 I call them lunatics, I call them stupid people too. But in Iran, they have the moderates dying 1.00

00:26:05.740 to make a deal and then you have the lunatics and i guess they're a little bit afraid of the lunatics 0.90

00:26:09.660 but uh and why not the uh the level of ferocity see so right there right there when president 0.95

00:26:18.460 trump said uh you know the moderates are afraid of the lunatics that's exactly what i've just been

00:26:25.420 explaining right this whole internal infighting and uh yeah i mean who knows like we might even

00:26:33.100 start seeing some targeted assassinations soon where you know the you know one faction goes

00:26:39.260 against the other i mean who knows i mean that would be great right i mean i don't really care

00:26:44.300 um but it's interesting that president trump is pitting these factions against one another

00:26:49.820 which is literally adding fuel to the fire for protests you know the the people are watching

00:26:57.020 that they want to go out on the streets they have no weapons they have no guns 0.97

00:27:01.100 We thought the Kurds were going to give us weapons, but the Kurds disappointed us. The 1.00

00:27:04.620 Kurds take, take, take. They have a great reputation in Congress. Congress says, oh, 1.00

00:27:09.340 they fight so hard. They fight hard when they get paid.

00:27:13.340 I spoke about the Kurds a little bit in my previous video, so make sure you go and watch

00:27:18.220 my previous video as well on this topic where I expand a little bit more on what President Trump

00:27:23.500 is saying here about the separatist Iraqi communist Kurds that support the IRGC. 0.60

00:27:29.260 I'm very disappointed in the Kurds, but they were given, I said it wasn't going to work, by the way, I just have to say it, I disagreed with what they did, they gave it, I said they'll never get there, and I was right, I like to be right, in this case too bad, but we sent some guns with ammunition, and they were supposed to be delivered, but they kept it. 0.95

00:27:52.420 I said they're going to keep it. But what do I know? I've already been doing this a short time. What do I know? 1.00

00:27:58.280 So based on all of that, you know, it's very interesting. President Trump is working on this strategy of pitting the various factions of the Islamic regime against one another.

00:28:14.920 And, you know, again, if we if we pay attention to what President Trump is saying, he's always said the same thing. 0.81

00:28:20.580 he's never faltered so like even this from today listen to this we had a choice let these lunatics 1.00

00:28:28.260 have a nuclear weapon if you want to do that then you're a stupid person and you happen to be i mean 1.00

00:28:33.620 i know you very well uh anybody that wants them to have a nuclear weapon is a stupid person 1.00

00:28:41.060 I agree. I agree. Anyone, anyone who wants the Islamic regime to have a nuclear weapon 1.00

00:28:50.540 is a stupid person. And President Trump, by calling out the various factions within the 1.00

00:28:59.360 Islamic regime, this is like the ultimate political troll. President Trump knows very

00:29:07.180 well what he's doing. He has the intel. And I have a feeling that we're going to be seeing

00:29:13.260 more of this sort of messaging as we get closer and closer to the final military strike. Because

00:29:20.980 I have a feeling that President Trump knows that you cannot negotiate with these savages. You 1.00

00:29:30.860 cannot negotiate with these lunatics. That's what we Iranians have been trying to tell the world for 0.99

00:29:36.120 the last 47 years. And I think President Trump knows that. I think he knows that. And so he is

00:29:42.380 just stringing them along, because he's waiting for the right moment to strike. Because again,

00:29:49.800 President Trump made it very clear, there may have been a military victory, but he's still

00:29:56.300 working towards the ultimate victory. And I believe that the ultimate victory President Trump

00:30:03.900 is looking for is the end of the terrorist Islamic regime once and for all. Because not only 0.98

00:30:11.260 is that good for the Iranian people and that will allow us to free our country, it's also good for

00:30:19.120 the American people because President Trump will now be ending a 47-year forever war that the

00:30:25.820 Muslim Nazis started back in 1979 when Jimmy Carter and the Democrats helped them get to power.

00:30:32.880 and now you know oops how do I do this oh my gosh there we go hi everyone so what did you guys think

00:30:45.520 of my video that's the one that I posted today did you guys like that do you do you like these

00:30:53.540 sorts of like video analysis that I do um I would love to get your your thoughts and feedback on

00:31:01.020 that because I posted that today. Was that like, are videos like that helpful for you guys? Yeah,

00:31:07.420 it was great. Okay. Oh, good. Good. I'm so happy to hear that. Okay. Amazing. All right. So I'll

00:31:18.740 definitely be doing more of those Goldie's always right. Yeah. Goldie's always right. Well, in 0.99

00:31:24.620 geopolitics anyway like maybe in other things maybe not as much but um okay yeah you know what

00:31:31.860 I'm gonna try to do like I'm trying to do more of these videos because you know in in the live

00:31:36.680 streams because they've been so long there's so much information in there um and you know

00:31:43.520 most people don't want to like you know watch like an eight hour live stream just to like

00:31:48.800 get the pertinent facts in there so okay sound oh god goldie's always right news network

00:31:58.880 that's so funny okay i'll work on that i'll work well i mean i don't know if i'm right guys like

00:32:04.700 this is this is just literally like my political analysis and then you know so far you know knock

00:32:11.800 conwood um my political analysis um has been pretty spot on um i research oh yeah like guys

00:32:22.820 i'm like a big nerd like when it like when it comes to iran and geopolitics in the middle east

00:32:27.440 like it like research is my bread and butter right so it's literally all i do and and i love doing

00:32:34.440 that so okay all right so i'm glad that you guys found that helpful i will so i'm i'm basically

00:32:41.780 made a commitment to make this sort of video, you know, at least once a day, where it's

00:32:48.580 sort of, you know, longer format, but not too long. And basically just, you know, providing

00:32:55.440 some context or, you know, info or details on things like that. So, okay, good. I'm glad

00:33:01.800 you guys like that. Anyways, welcome to tonight's edition of The Goldie Show, where we're going

00:33:11.700 to talk about all things, you know, Iran, whether it's current geopolitical events or political

00:33:18.340 commentary, because I love political, like, guys, I like, I'm telling you, as a former politician,

00:33:25.660 I'm such a huge nerd when it comes to like, reviewing and dissecting political press conferences,

00:33:34.400 because I have done so many political press conferences right so uh it's always interesting

00:33:42.080 for me to watch these press conferences and then you know see what the politicians are saying and

00:33:47.380 then translate that from you know political speak to English so like I'm like a huge nerd when it

00:33:52.580 comes to those sorts of things and obviously there's like a lot of um analysis these days

00:33:58.040 when it comes to, to Iran and everything that's happening related to, to Iran. Um, so yeah,

00:34:04.700 we're going to go over some press conferences. Uh, we're going to watch some pertinent videos

00:34:11.040 and, uh, yeah, basically, you know, this, this is kind of what I used to do before the,

00:34:18.460 the revolution started on December 28th. So kind of, you know, getting back into the groove

00:34:24.400 because I have, um, you know, um, what's the word I'm looking for? Um, uh, I haven't paid as much

00:34:33.940 attention to the Goldie show. And I know that that was sort of a big, big part and a big thing.

00:34:38.660 So that's what it's all about. And, you know, going to do some Q and A's as well. Um,

00:34:45.040 I wish we could have some members only shows as well. Um, I'm happy to, to work on that.

00:34:53.720 Um, so, so here, here's the thing with, with the members only shows, right? So, um, I will,

00:35:05.640 I will try to commit to kind of a little bit more members only shows. Um, but I also don't like to

00:35:15.680 gatekeep information, right? Like, um, the, the way that like, you know, like guys, as you guys

00:35:21.560 probably know um and as you've noticed for the last you know however many hundreds of days you've

00:35:28.060 been with me I don't really talk about monetization I don't really talk about um memberships I don't

00:35:36.520 really talk about super chats nothing like that I mean obviously like any you know financial

00:35:42.100 assistance I appreciated very much but I also don't want to gatekeep information right like um

00:35:50.380 And the reason that people sort of support me financially is because that allows me to continue to provide information for free, because ultimately my goal is to allow, you know, my goal is basically to share the voices of the Iranian people with the rest of the world.

00:36:12.680 And if I gatekeep information, um, then what's the point, right? Because to me, like at that point,

00:36:21.480 if I'm, if I'm gatekeeping information, that's not cool. Like I just, that, that kind of defeats

00:36:28.080 the whole purpose. Um, and then that's when I kind of get into like grifter and like podcast,

00:36:33.660 podcast, what is it? Podcast to stand or like whatever they call it. But maybe what I could

00:36:40.940 do cyrus is um maybe i can do some sort of compromise where um i can do uh you know because

00:36:48.940 i also want to make sure that there is you know value added for um youtube members you know people

00:36:55.820 who are supporting me financially so um maybe what i could do is um and let me think about this and

00:37:03.740 see see how it works but maybe um once maybe once or twice a week i'll do a live stream where

00:37:11.520 everyone can watch but you know only members can um comment and then that way i can just focus on

00:37:19.660 you know members only questions and answer the questions of you know youtube members

00:37:27.260 but at the same time everyone can have access to the questions and to the information um because

00:37:35.860 ultimately like I don't want to gatekeep info but you know I will I will work on that 100%

00:37:41.680 and I'll see what sort of compromise we can come up with because I don't want to gatekeep info like

00:37:47.440 if I was going to gatekeep info that would be totally against the purpose of why I'm doing

00:37:53.620 these live streams in the first place. Like if I was going to gatekeep info, that would literally

00:37:58.140 be antithetical to being a voice for the Iranian people. But I will think of, okay, so Tree Vermin 0.99

00:38:08.180 says, I'm a member, so I can keep getting the word out. I agree. Info shouldn't be behind the

00:38:13.900 paywall. Thank you. Yeah, like that's kind of how I view this, right? So for me, the memberships,

00:38:19.600 I, you know, and I think I explained it there. It's like the membership is basically just to

00:38:23.540 allow me to continue giving the info for, for free. Right. Because I, I like, I don't want to,

00:38:34.240 I don't want to gatekeep info. Like that's not the point here, but, but Cyrus, you do make a

00:38:39.760 good point. I will see what I can do. And, you know, maybe like once or twice a week I can do

00:38:47.920 maybe like a live stream where everyone can tune in um but only members can ask questions and then

00:38:55.300 you know maybe there's some value added there as well um but I'll see I'll I'll figure that out

00:39:01.880 I'll see what I can do um so thank you so much for that tree vermin you're the only channel I

00:39:07.580 pay to oh thank you I appreciate that that's very kind of you um yeah like I could you know maybe

00:39:15.420 have the members choose the topic yeah yeah you're absolutely right okay so i will i will definitely

00:39:20.380 you know work work on that 100 because i think it's important to add some sort of value added

00:39:25.260 benefit there but the last thing i want to do is gatekeep info like i'm never going to gatekeep info

00:39:31.580 um because that would just you know sorry okay guys by the way so in true in true goldie show

00:39:39.020 So tradition, tonight's bubbly, before I open it up, tonight's bubbly is raspberry flavored bubbly.

00:39:48.540 So there you go.

00:39:52.200 So that's tonight's, that's my flavor for tonight's drink.

00:39:57.640 So cheers.

00:40:00.740 Okay.

00:40:03.680 Oh, we have a super chat from Ben.

00:40:06.140 Ben Valentine says, please look into Mohammed Alibov's son Esau's time in Australia, where he lived, studied, worked and secured properties despite his family's actions.

00:40:19.660 Let me make a note of that. You know, unfortunately, that is definitely a reality for many, many children of the Islamic regime, where they have essentially stolen millions of dollars that belong to the Iranian people. 0.84

00:40:41.380 and they have immigrated to various countries around the world and, you know, they're living 0.98

00:40:47.320 lavish, luxurious lives off of the blood money of Iranian people while Iranians are being 0.96

00:40:55.480 murdered every day. So let me just make a quick note of this. Actually, I'm going to do something 1.00

00:41:02.600 which is probably going to be easier. Let me screenshot this. I'm going to screenshot your

00:41:09.420 your uh post and then that way i can keep track of that all right thank you ben so i will certainly

00:41:17.240 certainly look into that so all right guys how's everyone doing tonight so i have been

00:41:26.000 dying to watch this um this episode of mark levin i know we kind of watched it in pieces

00:41:35.320 here and there. But I've been meaning to watch it, like watch the whole thing, especially since

00:41:43.640 President Trump posted clips of this. And I spoke about this in an earlier video. So guys,

00:41:50.420 get comfy because we're going to one of my favorite commentators, the one and only Mark

00:41:57.900 Levin. So here we go. And I'm looking forward to commenting on what Mark Levin has to say,

00:42:08.300 because he always has some excellent, excellent input and advice. And oh, wait, guys, before we

00:42:16.900 go to that, I also do have some interesting breaking news. So JD Vance, JD Vance, earlier

00:42:27.380 today, he was, I guess he was at a press conference and JD Vance said, I agree with the president

00:42:33.740 that Iran should not have a nuclear weapon. So let's just watch this really quickly.

00:42:40.360 Look, I agree with the president that Iran should not have a nuclear weapon. We're obviously engaged

00:42:44.140 in a very aggressive and very engaged diplomatic process to try to ensure that that doesn't happen.

00:42:50.040 And the president has a lot of options. As he said repeatedly, there are options diplomatically,

00:42:53.940 there are options on the military side. But the fundamental goal here is the president wants to

00:42:58.160 make the world safe, but particularly the American people safe from Iran having a nuclear weapon. And 0.91

00:43:03.840 one final point I'll say on that is, the nuclear proliferation is one of those challenges that

00:43:09.220 people don't realize it's the biggest threat to America's national security. And it's not obvious

00:43:14.780 until it is. Because what happens if Iran gets a nuclear weapon, then multiple Gulf Arab countries 0.67

00:43:20.420 are going to want to get a nuclear weapon, then multiple countries from there are going to want

00:43:23.340 get a nuclear weapon. The goal of preventing nuclear proliferation is probably the single

00:43:28.740 most important thing that we can do to keep our people safe for the long term. It's absolutely

00:43:33.400 a worthy goal. But of course, the president and I and the entire team, we care about the American

00:43:37.680 people's financial situations. It's one of the reasons why we passed the working families tax

00:43:42.400 cut. It's one of the reasons why we're so focused on fraud. We care about how the American people 0.99

00:43:46.600 are doing economically. We've also got a number of other challenges. Of course, the president has

00:43:50.360 to confront all these challenges simultaneously. There you go. So very good statement, very good

00:43:58.980 response from JD Vance. Okay, let's go here. Mark Levin, and this is life, Liberty and Levin

00:44:10.640 Saturday. Hello, America, Mark Levin, and this is life. Wait, wait, before we do that, let me just

00:44:15.940 check something really quickly because I want to make sure. Okay. No, Sean Hannity's at 9 PM.

00:44:27.940 Although Jesse, you know what? Jesse waters, Jesse waters is also, um, coming up at 8 PM. So

00:44:35.100 we might want to do a little bit of a sneaky watch on Jesse waters, just to see what he has to say

00:44:41.960 about iran because the last few nights he's had some very interesting info about the islamic regime

00:44:48.120 um so all right let's go back to mark levin but i will keep an eye on fox news as well

00:44:55.440 liberty and levin saturday welcome to the program hello america i'm mark levin and this is life

00:45:01.520 liberty and levin saturday welcome to the program you know president trump has done something no

00:45:09.620 President dared to do in the last half century. He with our ally Israel and their great Prime

00:45:16.180 Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has destroyed the Iranian regime's military, the immediate nuclear 0.61

00:45:23.780 threat and most of the missile systems which were used to terrorize surrounding nations.

00:45:30.420 If I told you that would have been accomplished in a few days or even a few weeks you wouldn't

00:45:36.180 have believed me. And yet, for some reason, we act like this hasn't been a spectacular military

00:45:41.620 success. That said, the knowledge on how to develop nuclear weapons and ICBMs,

00:45:48.780 along with assistance from countries like China, Russia, and North Korea.

00:45:54.620 Isn't it interesting? Isn't it interesting that President Trump is currently in China?

00:46:00.840 oh my gosh I wish I wish I could be a fly on the wall during those conversations between

00:46:10.180 President Trump and uh Xi Jinping Xi Jinping gosh everyone just calls him Winnie the Pooh

00:46:18.880 I just always forget yeah Xi Jinping there you go I would love to be a fly on the wall

00:46:25.180 and to know what they're talking about.

00:46:31.720 But I have a feeling that there's a very good reason

00:46:35.060 that President Trump is taking both Scott Besant

00:46:39.780 and Marco Rubio with him.

00:46:42.600 Scott Besant is obviously a genius

00:46:44.800 when it comes to the economic side of things.

00:46:49.880 And Marco Rubio, given that his parents fled Cuba,

00:46:54.600 Marco Rubio is 100% anti-communist, right? So having Marco Rubio there, right? That's a power

00:47:04.600 move. That's a power move because taking Marco Rubio with him, President Trump is basically

00:47:11.380 signaling to Xi Jinping that they have zero tolerance for communist BS, right? And Marco

00:47:26.240 Rubio is not afraid to call that out. So it's very important to pay attention to the people

00:47:34.320 that President Trump is taking with him?

00:47:37.000 Scotty B and Marco Rubio.

00:47:42.140 No, I know he took a lot of people with him, obviously,

00:47:45.420 because I don't care about the deputy chief of staff

00:47:52.780 or the deputy this or the assistant that.

00:47:57.020 I'm talking about the top-level people, right?

00:48:01.200 Always look at the top-level people.

00:48:03.420 Of course, every single, you know, top level person who goes is going to have an entourage, right? Because they need their staff, they need their support, they need their assistance. That's irrelevant. I'm talking about the top level people in the administration.

00:48:19.200 So the fact that Marco Rubio and Scott Bessent are there and both Marco Rubio and Scott Bessent have played key roles when it comes to overthrowing the Islamic regime and eradicating the Islamic regime, that in and of itself is sending a message to China that President Trump is not here to play games.

00:48:45.940 President Trump is being very serious about it. And the internal militia and security forces of

00:48:54.920 Iran seem to ensure that sometime in the future, Iran will be able to reconstruct these weapon 0.79

00:49:02.280 systems, rebuild its military, and internally increase its mass murder of even the most peaceful 0.77

00:49:09.420 voices of dissent. So what do you do after you defeat an enemy's military and take out the top

00:49:17.260 tier of their leadership? What do you do? Because that's where we are. Well, let's first look at

00:49:22.880 what we said we will not do. No ground troops. Why? Because there's virtually no political will

00:49:31.940 in our country to send ground troops into Iran. And I would argue there's no need to send in our

00:49:39.000 ground troops, for reasons I'll explain in a moment. President Trump has not only led a

00:49:45.320 historic military victory against Iran, but he has asserted control over the Strait of Hormuz,

00:49:52.360 thereby controlling Iran's ability to sell its oil and choke the Iranian economy in hopes of

00:49:58.980 forcing the regime to make a deal or collapse. Those are two... Guys, that's exactly what I've 0.89

00:50:07.020 been saying this entire time. President Trump is only interested in either a deal or collapse.

00:50:13.320 And the deal that President Trump is interested in is unconditional surrender. So Mark Levin here

00:50:19.200 is saying the exact same thing. The economy in hopes of forcing the regime to make a deal

00:50:24.880 or collapse. Those are two very distinct objectives, to make a deal or collapse.

00:50:32.900 So the question is, which is preferable? So let's dig into this further. If the goal is to take

00:50:41.280 down the regime, two of three most important conditions have already been achieved.

00:50:47.040 The destruction of virtually its entire military capacity and economic control over their economy.

00:50:56.000 these are two historic successes on their own on their own if the goal is to get a deal

00:51:02.540 the issue is not only what kind of deal but can the deal stick that is oh look guys it's the it's

00:51:11.000 the good old days when uh when the americans went to oman and the omani prince had no idea

00:51:18.940 that uh these negotiations were just a front for when president trump was going to boom boom and

00:51:25.760 exterminate Khamenei on February 28th. Remember that? By the way, I called that. I actually

00:51:31.260 called that. When all this was happening in February, I was like, guys, they picked Oman 1.00

00:51:38.360 because Oman is irrelevant geopolitically. And they can just pretend that they're negotiating

00:51:46.920 while they get all their military assets ready to go. And that's pretty much exactly what happened.

00:51:52.620 how do we know well i mean if you guys remember um it was on february 27 that oman put out a

00:52:03.120 statement i think it was like this guy the like he's like the prince or something of oman he put

00:52:07.420 out a statement on february 27 basically saying we're very encouraged by the way the negotiations

00:52:13.680 are going and you know we look forward to continuing the negotiations on monday um and

00:52:20.940 you know we hope for a positive outcome meanwhile that was put out on saturday that was put out on

00:52:27.420 friday and then uh hominy was boom boomed and exterminated on sorry that was put out on friday

00:52:34.380 and then hominy was boom boomed on saturday anyways jesse waters is live so let's go to that

00:52:41.420 and uh let's see what's happening intelligence community leaders and senior analysts downplayed

00:52:48.220 the possibility that the covid pandemic originated as a result of a lab incident they've got fauci

00:52:54.220 dead to rights a cia whistleblower tells all dr fauci's role in the cover-up was intentional

00:53:01.740 the wall's administration enabled fraud by having a culture that accepted fraud

00:53:07.260 tolerated fraud tried to suppress fraud and did not hold anyone accountable welcome to the fraud

00:53:15.260 files we're a large rhino that can be stabbed effortlessly by foreign governments plus

00:53:23.980 what what's the polycarbon doing here

00:53:33.660 okay fruitlessly by foreign governments plus

00:53:39.660 what's going on

00:53:45.260 Fox News alert. It is all poppin' pageantry in Beijing. The Chinese just rolled out the red

00:53:54.520 carpet welcoming President Donald J. Trump and his delegation to the Capitol. The weather in

00:53:59.600 Beijing was a hot 87 degrees when Air Force One touched down. Good thing Miller brought his

00:54:04.580 Bermuda shorts. POTUS and his team were greeted on the tarmac with flowers, a military band,

00:54:09.780 and hundreds of little Chinese children smiling and waving American flags.

00:54:15.020 It's the first time a U.S. president's visited China in almost 10 years.

00:54:18.980 Last time, Trump.

00:54:21.620 Before that, it was Obama, and Barry didn't get the full Beijing welcome. 0.99

00:54:25.640 The Chinese didn't even put up a staircase. 0.96

00:54:28.160 Barack had to take the tiny stairs like Biden and come out the back door 1.00

00:54:31.580 and didn't even get a red carpet.

00:54:34.380 The reception, let's call it frosty.

00:54:36.880 One Chinese official even got into a scuffle with an Obama staffer on the tarmac

00:54:41.860 and told them, this is our country. This is our airport. Things are a little different this time.

00:54:48.200 The Chinese people were delighted to welcome Air Force One. Here they are snapping pictures

00:54:52.640 at the spectacle because Trump is kind of a celebrity in China. Rubio, not so much. He was

00:54:59.400 banned from the country. Trump ordered Xi to let him in. So China changed his name so we could

00:55:05.240 bypass sanctions. So for the next 48 hours, Rubio's name's Lou, Marco Lou. Trump also brought

00:55:13.060 Hegseth, his top trade rep, Miller, obviously, and his son, Eric, all on board. Vance, feeling a

00:55:19.240 little left out. So as you know, the president just landed in China a few hours ago. I always,

00:55:25.500 you know, you may know that because of secret service protocols that I don't travel outside

00:55:29.640 of the country with the president of the United States. So on days to day, I sometimes feel like

00:55:34.020 Macaulay Culkin in Home Alone. I walk to the White House and it's very quiet and no one's there and it takes me a second to realize exactly what's going on. The last time a VP flew to Beijing, he came back with a billion dollars for his son. Those days are over. Air Force One also flew over some CEOs. Elon Musk hitched a ride. So did the CEO of NVIDIA, the chip guy. He accidentally got left off the list. So we picked him up in Alaska during the refuel. The other CEOs from Boeing, Apple,

00:56:03.720 visa. They flew solo. I think Boeing has their own plane. The CEOs are worth nearly a trillion 0.99

00:56:10.340 dollars. So the president expects it's going to be a lot of money made on this trip. More on that

00:56:15.360 in a bit. But first, dinner. The menu on Air Force One, a little taste of China. Beef stir fry

00:56:22.900 with a little bok choy and lo mein fried and a sesame and soy sauce. Came with two spring rolls.

00:56:29.200 And for dessert, yep, fortune cookies. Crack one open, you get this message.

00:56:34.540 Welcome aboard Air Force One. The president's hoping for some good fortune this year for us

00:56:39.640 and the Chinese. After dinner, Rubio talks shop with Hannity.

00:56:44.420 Do you view China as our top geopolitical foe?

00:56:48.100 Yeah, it's both our top political challenge geopolitically, and it's also 0.73

00:56:51.580 the most important relationship for us to manage. I mean, it's a big, powerful country.

00:56:55.960 It's going to continue to grow, but we're going to have interests of ours that are going to be

00:57:00.680 in conflict with interests of theirs. And to avoid wars and maintain peace and stability in the world,

00:57:06.740 we're going to have to manage those. There are clearly areas where they're so important for the

00:57:10.900 United States that we're going to have to raise those issues and we'll continue to do so. The

00:57:16.060 president's going to continue to do so. There might be some areas of cooperation too, and we want to

00:57:20.500 make sure we don't walk away from those. The president's heading into the summit with a wind

00:57:23.900 that is back. Since their last meeting, he's painted China into a corner. The U.S. military

00:57:28.700 has been wargaming off their coasts with our Pacific allies and striking defense deals with

00:57:33.420 key players to secure choke points. Last week, we shot a tomahawk right into the South China Sea.

00:57:39.440 And on the day, today, Trump touched down. Taiwan's conducting defense exercises,

00:57:44.560 testing out their tanks and javelins. We just sold Taiwan $11 billion in weapons.

00:57:49.220 And there's another $25 billion package waiting for Trump to sign when he gets back from Beijing.

00:57:55.020 The United States is making a lot of money in Asia.

00:57:58.420 We just signed a huge energy deal with the Japanese all week.

00:58:02.180 That's since been in Tokyo.

00:58:03.720 We discussed a broad range of issues.

00:58:07.560 We discussed a very strong U.S.-Japan bilateral relationship.

00:58:13.240 We discussed the U.S.-Japan investment program.

00:58:18.040 We discussed critical minerals.

00:58:20.160 We discussed President Trump's visit to Beijing.

00:58:23.560 Today, Besson nailed down part of our trade deal within South Korea.

00:58:27.080 We created an AI tech colony in the Philippines,

00:58:29.840 and we're striking mineral deals all over the world,

00:58:32.480 from Greenland to Ukraine to the Congo to wean off Chinese supply chains.

00:58:36.940 And at any moment tonight, the president will be meeting with Xi and hand him a Sharpie.

00:58:42.460 President Trump still hasn't seen President Xi yet.

00:58:45.020 That is going to happen a few hours from right now during an official state welcome ceremony for President Trump at the Great Hall of the People.

00:58:53.460 We expect that to look basically like China's version of what the U.S. did for King Charles a few weeks ago back on the White House South Lawn.

00:59:02.520 When the two of them, though, get behind closed doors, we know exactly what President Trump is going to make his first ask.

00:59:08.540 And it has to do with all these American CEOs who rode on Air Force One with him into Beijing.

00:59:14.880 The Democrats opened up America to China and got nothing back.

00:59:19.180 So Trump's going to force China to open up to us. 0.87

00:59:22.620 If everything now is made in China, they better start buying American.

00:59:26.120 They'll be buying Boeing planes with GE engines. 0.98

00:59:29.340 American tech companies will get the Chinese hooked on our chips, not the good ones. 0.96

00:59:33.760 Elon wants to sell them cars. 1.00

00:59:35.380 Apple wants to sell them phones.

00:59:36.900 And the president wants him to keep placing big, beautiful orders with American farmers.

00:59:42.360 They're calling the summit Boeing beef and beans.

00:59:46.140 Economically, China doesn't have the upper hand.

00:59:48.420 Their markets are starting to show cracks.

00:59:50.460 They're sitting on a mountain of bad debt, have a housing crisis.

00:59:53.420 The population's aging out.

00:59:55.000 And our chip controls and blockade, they're starting to bite.

00:59:58.860 China's economy is export-driven, meaning their economy is fueled not by what they consume domestically,

01:00:04.300 but by what they make and sell to other countries. 0.96

01:00:07.380 It's true.

01:00:07.880 Of all the countries of the world, economies are melting down because of this crisis.

01:00:11.840 in the Straits, they're going to be buying less Chinese product and the Chinese exports are going

01:00:15.800 to drop precipitously. So it's in their interest to resolve this. We hope to convince them to play

01:00:20.680 a more active role in getting Iran to walk away from what they're doing now and trying to do now 0.96

01:00:25.700 in the Persian Gulf. We kicked the Chinese out of the Panama Canal and took their two biggest black 1.00

01:00:30.380 market gas stations, Iran and Venezuela, offline. The Middle East is an American sandbox. We have 1.00

01:00:36.840 the Jews and Arabs on the same side. And China's reliance on straits has been exposed big time.

01:00:42.620 Chinese have ships stuck in the Persian Gulf because setting up a system that says we're

01:00:47.480 going to let certain ships through but others not, it's easier said than done. And you saw 0.73

01:00:51.620 a Chinese, not Chinese flag vessel, but it was a Chinese cargo got hit over the weekend. I'm sure

01:00:56.980 Iran didn't do it deliberately, but they did it. It happened. And so that's why these Chinese ships 1.00

01:01:01.280 are stuck in there. The Chinese need an open strait much more than we do. We could restart 1.00

01:01:06.020 project freedom tomorrow and help chinese tankers sail out but what are they going to do for us is 1.00

01:01:11.540 she going to call the gay ayatollah and tell them to cut a deal that's so funny 0.93

01:01:17.860 steals stronger than the great wall of china so it's a battle of wills we need the uranium 0.97

01:01:23.060 and they need the straight open the vice president gave us a little update on peace talks listen

01:01:28.740 he needs to feel confident that we've put a number of protections in place such that iran

01:01:33.540 will never have a nuclear weapon right that is the question do we meet that threshold or not

01:01:38.020 i think that we've made a lot of progress since we left pakistan i thought we made some progress

01:01:41.860 in pakistan but we've made more since then but that is fundamentally what we're negotiating

01:01:47.220 towards is we want to be able to look the american people in the eye and say with confidence that you

01:01:51.780 are not going to have to worry about this very very dangerous regime having access to the most

01:01:56.660 dangerous weapons in the world peace is in everyone's interests iran's china's the united

01:02:01.220 States. Instead of making war, we can make money. But the president will be firm on fentanyl,

01:02:06.920 hacking, and espionage. And China knows Trump won't buckle on Taiwan. The United States is 0.66

01:02:11.940 still the superior military and economic power. We're adding three bases in Greenland and getting

01:02:16.720 five brand new icebreakers to kick the Chinese out of the Arctic. Plus, we just beat them to 1.00

01:02:22.040 the moon and brought home the hockey gold. That's true. Donald Trump was the first president in

01:02:26.820 decades to confront the Chinese. And he's got an average of about 50 percent tariff rate still

01:02:31.800 slapped on. And Operation Economic Fury means the Chinese will face an oil embargo if they ever

01:02:38.520 decide to get cute. But the president has also cultivated a strong and genuine relationship with 0.79

01:02:44.360 Xi Jinping. And he's managed to navigate the last decade with the Chinese well, besides the China 0.83

01:02:50.080 virus. More on that later. So all eyes on Beijing tonight as the summit kicks off at any moment, 0.92

01:02:55.940 anything could happen. Jackie Heinrichs, our senior White House correspondent. Jackie.

01:03:04.780 Hey, Jesse. We got off Air Force One pretty late last night, local time. I made it to this hotel

01:03:10.500 where I'm staying around what would have been one in the afternoon, local for you. We have not

01:03:15.380 talked to the president since he left the U.S. and spoke to reporters on the South Lawn of the

01:03:20.380 White House. In a kind of unusual turn of events, he did not ever come back to the back of the

01:03:25.400 plane to gaggle with press on this very long flight over, he might have just been having a

01:03:29.520 really great time with Elon Musk and Jensen in the cabin there. But that means that we have not

01:03:35.320 heard an update from him directly on what he plans to raise when he meets with Xi Jinping later on

01:03:40.700 today. And then later on, they'll have a bilateral meeting, which press are also not

01:03:47.360 going to be allowed into. And unlike meetings with other authoritarian leaders, Putin, for

01:03:53.420 instance, there is not a joint statement planned to the press. We don't plan to get any sort of

01:04:00.140 remarks from the two of them together. So we'll have to hear from the president when he speaks

01:04:04.020 to Brett Baier and Sean Hannity about what went down behind closed doors. A big thing that China 0.90

01:04:09.100 wants right now is to get some kind of a language change from the U.S. with respect to Taiwan.

01:04:15.540 It could be very subtle going from the U.S. does not support Taiwan independence to change that to

01:04:22.000 the word U.S. opposes Taiwan independence. That's a more active phrase. And you have Taiwan worried

01:04:28.660 that China will try very hard to get President Trump to agree to that language. But that's not

01:04:34.260 going to happen. No expectation that will happen. The U.S. has been unequivocal that there's been no

01:04:37.860 change in the U.S. policy toward Taiwan. Yeah, that's not going to happen. But we expect that

01:04:41.760 that's going to be something that Xi Jinping tries to dangle. Yeah, China can try to do that. But I

01:04:47.580 I mean, the United States is selling, what, like $11 billion worth of weapons to Taiwan?

01:04:52.760 Obviously, China has every incentive to want to do that.

01:04:55.600 They are highly dependent on the Strait of Hormuz to get the majority of their oil, their LNG, through the Strait.

01:05:02.760 And yet they still have not played any sort of active role in pressuring Iran to agree to anything.

01:05:07.920 And in fact, there were reports over the last few weeks that they might have been trying to provide some kind of aid to them.

01:05:12.760 So they could take a much greater...

01:05:14.440 Yeah, they were, through their ships and their cargo planes.

01:05:16.860 wore down, but they so far have not. And as you mentioned, a lot of American farmers are watching

01:05:22.940 this because they want President Trump to pressure Xi to fulfill his commitment to buy those millions

01:05:29.360 of tons of soybeans. They are the biggest importer of American soybeans, and they agreed to that in

01:05:35.620 the November agreement. But so far, there's a lot more they have to fulfill. So those are three

01:05:41.000 topics we hope to get a readout on after these two leaders of these two countries meet.

01:05:47.300 All right. Well, I'm sure the president will go back and talk to you soon, Jackie.

01:05:50.320 We know how captivating Elon Musk can be. See you soon. Stay safe.

01:05:56.140 Texas Senator Ted Cruz is here. So, Senator, what are the stakes for this meeting in Beijing?

01:06:04.200 Well, the stakes are high. I think China right now poses the single greatest geopolitical threat

01:06:09.660 to the United States for the next 100 years. 0.95

01:06:12.500 The good news is President Trump is there

01:06:15.300 negotiating from a position of strength.

01:06:18.000 China does not respect weakness.

01:06:20.080 When Joe Biden was president, China walked all over him.

01:06:24.140 President Trump now is in a position,

01:06:26.060 you look at something like the Maduro raid

01:06:27.840 that happened on January 3rd of this year,

01:06:31.120 I guarantee you President Xi and everyone else saw that

01:06:34.420 and realized there is no other military on earth

01:06:37.260 that could execute that kind of military operation going into a secured, fortified military base in Caracas,

01:06:45.200 a city of 5 million people, take on 100 Cuban soldiers, take out every one of the soldiers,

01:06:51.740 arrest Maduro and his wife, and exit without a single American fatality.

01:06:56.820 The Chinese military couldn't do that. The Russians couldn't do that.

01:07:00.540 And so Trump will be negotiating from a position of strength,

01:07:03.400 and he is going to be fighting for American jobs and American interests,

01:07:07.260 And Xi is not going to roll over, but I'd much rather be with America coming as a strong commander-in-chief and a strong leader.

01:07:16.680 I think we're likely to get a lot more in the negotiation.

01:07:18.680 What role will the Strait and the Iran War play in these negotiations?

01:07:25.600 Look, I expect there to be a lot of discussion about the Strait of Hormuz.

01:07:29.640 China has been the principal purchaser of Iran's oil for a long time.

01:07:34.600 China could exert a lot of pressure.

01:07:36.480 President Trump has already blockaded Iran coming out of the Strait of Hormuz, so he's putting enormous pressure.

01:07:43.280 But if China leans on Iran, that could move them to accepting the conditions that Trump has laid out.

01:07:50.040 No enrichment, handover enriched uranium, stop funding terrorism, and open the strait to traffic.

01:07:56.800 All of those, I think, will be very helpful.

01:07:58.740 Also, today, the U.S.

01:08:01.380 Guys, China has billions of dollars invested in Iran and the IRB state.

01:08:07.360 ...to press Xi to release political prisoners, release Jimmy Lai, release the Christian pastors who have been imprisoned in China.

01:08:20.640 I hope that the president leans in.

01:08:22.200 He is committed that he's going to do that.

01:08:23.760 And you now have the United States Senate 100 to nothing urging him to make that a priority.

01:08:29.820 I also think he's going to make it a real priority fighting for our farmers to open up the Chinese market more and fighting for American jobs to open up the Chinese market more. 0.99

01:08:37.980 Because, you know, we opened up our economy for about, what, 25 years to the Chinese and they raided it. 0.99

01:08:44.100 Yeah. And they kept theirs closed. So, I mean, we got we got to get access if that's the game. 1.00

01:08:49.740 well and one of the central features of president trump's trade policy has been reciprocity that

01:08:57.340 we're not going to accept unfair deals where we open up our markets and and the trading partner

01:09:02.740 closes their market china has been one of the worst actors in that regard and and so i i think

01:09:09.500 the odds are quite high that president trump will leave china uh with some significant trade

01:09:15.620 concessions. I expect our farmers to have additional crops, additional sales that go

01:09:23.680 into China. I think that will be meaningful, obviously, with the tech CEOs who are there.

01:09:28.240 I think the president is going to try to open up markets there for tech as well.

01:09:33.160 And I will say, you know, the reporting a minute ago was talking about Taiwan.

01:09:37.820 I think Xi will press Trump to make concessions on Taiwan. I don't believe that he will. I think

01:09:43.240 President Trump will hold the line and stand with Taiwan. I think that's critically important.

01:09:48.100 Yeah. And $36 billion in arms sales. I think that speaks for itself, Senator. Good to be

01:09:53.320 with you as always. Thank you. Absolutely. Breaking news on the CIA. Next.

01:09:59.200 even the toughest cowboys wow but i don't fool okay so that was pretty interesting um

01:10:14.320 um the part that i was not expecting guys was the part about marco rubio i mean

01:10:22.180 And so I knew that Marco Rubio is full on like anti-communist and he speaks out against it.

01:10:31.320 And I knew that by, you know, President Trump taking Marco Rubio, that's, you know, like a power play.

01:10:38.300 Right. And I said that before we watched Jesse Waters.

01:10:43.020 But what I didn't know is that Marco Rubio had actually been sanctioned by China.

01:10:50.060 And yet President Trump took him anyway. And President Trump said to Xi Jinping, I don't care what you think, Marco Rubio is coming. And so, guys, that's like an even bigger, like, political power play. Oh, my gosh.

01:11:07.260 like look at this also coming with him a couple of cabinet secretaries wait let's go back to the

01:11:15.620 ceos let me just change the format here okay so these are the ceos that are going to um china

01:11:24.940 with president trump so apple blackrock blackstone boeing cargill city coherent ge aerospace goldman

01:11:34.140 sacks illumina mastercard meta micron qualcomm tesla spacex and visa wow interesting also coming

01:11:48.060 with him a couple of cabinet secretaries i just got confirmed via a source that that includes

01:11:53.580 secretary of state marco rubio the treasury secretary scott bessett will also be here uh

01:11:58.940 The Secretary of War, Pete Hegsett, will be here, as well as the trade rep, Jameson Greer.

01:12:04.880 Rubio, by the way, John and Sandra are coming, is a big deal because you'll remember back in 2020, China actually sanctioned him and banned him.

01:12:13.760 So this time they are waiving that so he can join the president.

01:12:17.600 Yeah, they'll be welcoming him on the red carpet, I assume, as well.

01:12:21.680 What a turnaround.

01:12:22.880 Yeah, guys, that's a big power move.

01:12:26.560 like um that's how you deal with um you know bullies and terrorists right

01:12:36.560 okay all right so i'm gonna keep an eye on on fox news um i think i think that's pretty much

01:12:46.320 what was sort of relevant when it comes to the news about iran and things like that um if

01:12:53.760 If Jesse Waters goes back to something else like that's relevant, we'll tune back into that. But I want to go back to Mark Levin. All right, let's just go back to the beginning because we didn't really get it. Like we were kind of interrupted. But this is really important. And I really wanted to watch this and and comment on this as well. So yeah, let's go back to Mark Levin.

01:13:22.920 And I'll keep an eye on Fox News as well.

01:13:25.680 All right.

01:13:26.040 We have one.

01:13:28.140 We have a super chat here.

01:13:29.540 Let me just go to that really quickly.

01:13:30.800 So Christian Evan Christensen says, have you heard of Mardavij Ziyarid?

01:13:39.540 He got really close to reconquering Iran to Zoroastrianism in 900s.

01:13:44.920 Think you are going to be frustrated at how close. 0.79

01:13:48.000 We have a lot of Iranian heroes who have been very, very close to reconquering Iran from the Muslim Nazi occupation.

01:13:59.780 I will definitely look into that, though.

01:14:02.540 Thank you so much for the suggestion.

01:14:06.400 And maybe that could be the topic of a live stream sometime in the future.

01:14:11.680 Let me just make a note of this.

01:14:12.940 Okay, yes, guys, I still use pen and paper to write notes, but I also take screenshots,

01:14:34.280 just FYI, so let me just take a screenshot as well, that way I have both.

01:14:42.940 Wait. Oh, that didn't work. Shoot. There we go. All right. So now let's go to to Mark Levin.

01:15:02.420 And like I said, I'm keeping an eye on Fox News and on breaking news, but I've been meaning to

01:15:07.460 watch this episode of Mark Levin, like the entire episode for a while, still haven't been able to do

01:15:13.120 so. But I'm really interested to hear what he has to say. So let's go. Hello, America, Mark Levin,

01:15:18.480 and this is Life, Liberty and Levin Saturday. Welcome to the program. You know, President Trump

01:15:25.260 has done something no president dared to do in the last half century. He with our ally Israel

01:15:32.920 and their great Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has destroyed the Iranian regime's military, 0.66

01:15:40.260 the immediate nuclear threat, and most of the missile systems which were used to terrorize

01:15:46.500 surrounding nations. If I told you that would have been accomplished in a few days,

01:15:52.160 or even a few weeks, you wouldn't have believed me. And yet for some reason we act like this

01:15:57.600 hasn't been a spectacular military success.

01:16:01.360 That said, the knowledge on how to develop nuclear weapons

01:16:05.420 and ICBMs, along with assistance from countries

01:16:09.120 like China, Russia, and North Korea,

01:16:12.120 and the internal militia and security forces of Iran,

01:16:17.580 seem to ensure that sometime in the future,

01:16:21.340 Iran will be able to reconstruct these weapons 0.96

01:16:23.720 systems rebuild its military and internally increase its mass murder of even the most 0.89

01:16:30.360 peaceful voices of dissent so what do you do after you defeat an enemy's military

01:16:37.480 and take out the top tier of their leadership what do you do because that's where we are

01:16:43.080 well let's first look at what we said we will not do no ground troops why because there's virtually

01:16:52.120 no political will in our country to send ground troops into Iran. And I would argue there's no

01:16:58.760 need to send in our ground troops for reasons I'll explain in a moment. President Trump has not only

01:17:06.040 led a historic military victory against Iran, but he has asserted control over the Strait of Hormuz,

01:17:13.560 thereby controlling Iran's ability to sell its oil and choke the Iranian economy in hopes of

01:17:20.280 forcing the regime to make a deal or collapse those are two very distinct objectives to make

01:17:28.040 a deal or collapse so the question is which is preferable so let's dig into this further

01:17:37.240 if the goal is to take down the regime two of three most important conditions have already been

01:17:43.320 achieved. The destruction of virtually its entire military capacity and economic control

01:17:51.720 over their economy. These are two historic successes on their own. If the goal is to get a

01:17:59.460 deal, the issue is not only what kind of deal, but can the deal stick? That is, how do we know

01:18:07.500 if the enemy will adhere to the terms of a deal, especially after President Trump leaves office?

01:18:14.120 Well, let's look at the Iranian regime's record. Rather than recounting the scores of examples,

01:18:20.080 evidence, if you will, that the regime has violated every deal it has ever signed with

01:18:26.020 any international organization, any country, or any group of countries, there simply is no evidence

01:18:33.400 that the regime has ever honored any deal.

01:18:37.600 Even the Obama nuclear disastrous deal, 0.85

01:18:41.300 which ensured that Iran would have a nuclear weapon

01:18:43.780 within 10 to 12 years of its signing,

01:18:46.440 was violated by the Iranian regime,

01:18:49.340 even though it would hand them nuclear weapons effectively.

01:18:53.260 Why would the Iranian regime violate a deal

01:18:55.620 that ensures it would have nuclear weapons in a decade or so? 0.91

01:18:59.440 because it felt no obligation to adhere to any deal and it wanted to develop nuclear weapons

01:19:06.900 to break out as fast as it could so to be clear even a deal in which the iranian regime

01:19:14.460 would in fact be able to secure nuclear weapons was violated by the iranian regime repeatedly

01:19:20.740 yeah and in scores of ways monitor yeah like guys we have been we have been trying to raise 0.87

01:19:26.800 awareness about the fact that the Islamic regime has been, you know, breaking the terms of its 0.95

01:19:33.080 agreements for a very long time because the Islamic regime are terrorists. They don't believe 0.75

01:19:39.360 in honoring any sort of deals or treaties or whatever because they come from this Shia 1.00

01:19:47.340 ideological, you know, cult mentality where Allah and Islam is above everything, right? 0.96

01:19:55.360 sharia law supersedes everything so they believe like like they legitimately believe that it is 0.98

01:20:02.000 appropriate to lie when they're dealing with you know non-muslims non-shia muslims you lie to them 1.00

01:20:09.120 because they don't count as human they're infidels they're they're the cough fat right so you lie to 1.00

01:20:15.600 them uh in order to just basically get them to agree to whatever and then you go back and then 1.00

01:20:21.600 you work on you know your jihad right that's the whole concept of tapir which you know in english

01:20:28.800 is takia right like this is how the islamic regime literally operates right unannounced

01:20:36.000 inspections and the like were all eventually defied by the iranian regime so it's important

01:20:42.720 to understand the ideological mindset of who and what we're dealing with they're not of a western

01:20:51.600 mindset the regime has learned from past experience with our country and with the

01:20:57.760 current opposition in our country from the democrats the media and the radical isolationists

01:21:04.240 that all they need to do is wait us out we have an election in november and they see that election

01:21:11.840 as possible, if not likely, to change our government, at least one part of it.

01:21:19.640 That is, with the election of Democrats in the House, for example, they know that that party

01:21:25.540 stands for appeasement, radical pacifism, and isolationism. They've heard what they have to say.

01:21:31.920 They have heard what their media have to say. And they also know that the Democrat Party will

01:21:38.640 try to undermine president trump including his foreign policy and especially in iran where the

01:21:45.600 democrats actually funded the regime and its war making power under the biden administration

01:21:53.120 even more they watch these debates over the war powers act articles of impeachment against the

01:21:59.440 secretary of war then declarations of impeachment against the president should the democrats win

01:22:05.600 Oh, wait, someone's asking, what's Takiyah? Takiyah.

01:22:09.760 so takia is basically the understanding that you can lie uh in order to preserve your faith

01:22:36.180 or you can lie if it's for the purposes of advancing jihad um so yeah like um taqiyya

01:22:45.620 uh t-a-q-i-y-y-a um in persian it's pronounced so basically uh it's a it's it's a concept that

01:22:56.420 you can lie in order to preserve uh your identity or your your mission of jihad so that's what the

01:23:03.540 islamic regime basically does in the house based in large part on what the democrats falsely claim 0.74

01:23:11.460 as constitutional and legal violations and they claim that this is a war of choice that it is a 0.68

01:23:21.060 blunder and that it is an illegal war so the iranians say let's just hang in there if the

01:23:28.660 democrats take the house that's an american regime change and if the democrats take the presidency

01:23:36.100 wow we're free to roll three years hence if a democrat is elected president the iranian regime

01:23:44.020 figures it's no longer bound by the terms of any agreement no matter how great the terms because

01:23:50.340 it simply will not be enforced and we won't have the stomach to enforce it militarily will we

01:23:56.020 will we? You have a courageous president who's taking actions, who's ignoring the polls and

01:24:01.920 doing what's right for the security of this nation and the world. Unfortunately, that's rare.

01:24:09.140 The Iranian regime also knows there's a Marxist-Islamist alliance and presence in our

01:24:15.600 country. And in fact, the Iranian regime is a Marxist-Islamist ideological regime.

01:24:22.360 and they and their allies helped fund it in our country and around the world and it's very loud 0.90

01:24:28.960 and it's very violent and it has the democrat party by the throat and it along with the neo-fascist

01:24:36.180 isolationists the neo-fascist isolationists will claim that israel is behind any effort

01:24:42.660 to enforce an agreement with iran and israel is dragging us into another war we hear it now right 0.64

01:24:49.920 We cannot ignore the dark storm clouds of anti-Semitism that are now hanging over our country and have a strong foothold in the Democrat Party, the media, the academia, and this radical isolationism. 0.88

01:25:08.440 Then there is the ideology of the Iranian regime, which, remember, is a worldwide Islamist revolution.

01:25:14.400 That's its belief.

01:25:16.220 Again, it is a Marxist-Islamist worldwide revolutionary movement.

01:25:22.840 As the Blair Institute has said, just like communism, a state was never the objective

01:25:29.060 of the revolution.

01:25:30.880 The organs of the Iranian state serve the revolution, not the other way around.

01:25:36.480 And the end goal of the revolution was never a state.

01:25:39.400 It was the expansion of the revolution.

01:25:42.600 The revolution does not exist to perfect the state.

01:25:46.120 The state, or in this case, the so-called Republic of Iran, is simply a means to support

01:25:52.120 and perfect the revolution.

01:25:54.880 Where the two conflict, the revolution is prioritized.

01:25:59.040 This is something people in the West, in our country, simply don't seem to be able to get

01:26:04.180 their heads around.

01:26:05.880 They go on.

01:26:06.840 the failure of the administration of former U.S. President Barack Obama and the new European

01:26:12.080 External Action Service, the EEAS, to properly read Iran's intentions and their persistence

01:26:19.960 in viewing Iranian political developments through the prism of Iran's relations with the West

01:26:26.480 severely constrained the Western negotiating position. This is key for any deal, any negotiation.

01:26:33.580 To not understand that you're negotiating with a revolutionary Marxist-Islamist movement that seeks to destroy the West at all costs, at any costs, even in their own destruction, is to completely misconstrue and misunderstand what you're negotiating with and what you're up against. 0.51

01:26:53.700 this is not a nation state negotiating with a nation state it is a nation state the united

01:27:00.500 states of america negotiating with a revolutionary ideology that seeks global dominance

01:27:06.060 and they go on to explain that these agreements with the iranian regime do more to tie the hands

01:27:12.480 of the west than the hands of the regime which feels no obligation to adhere to any agreement

01:27:19.640 with the west and this has consequences as an example if we make a deal with iran does that

01:27:25.960 mean israel can't defend itself against hezbollah are we going to have a situation where the iranian

01:27:31.800 regime survives hezbollah survives and hamas survives is this all being taken into consideration 0.93

01:27:39.960 let's hope so

01:27:40.680 okay guys quick commercial break i need your advice because a lot of people have said to me

01:27:50.280 that in order to uh you know make my live streams more clickable or you know more seo whatever that

01:27:59.460 i should like use um ai youtube prompts and i'm trying but honestly like it's just so weird like

01:28:08.480 i can't do ai youtube prompts like the the like the the youtube thumbnails no it's not a rickroll

01:28:16.440 the youtube thumbnails that like chat gpt is making for me they're just so weird like look

01:28:23.540 at this so i wanted like some i wanted like i i watched some videos earlier today and i was like

01:28:33.200 try to like generate some videos for me I was using chat GPT okay like look at this like what

01:28:40.220 is this so this is the first one and I was like no this isn't good so I I read I gave like a

01:28:46.860 different prompt and then they made this one like look how scary this is imagine if this was like

01:28:52.700 my YouTube thumbnail like people would look at this and they would just want to like ban my chat

01:28:57.980 they would just be like ban you know block report or something right so like this was like sort of

01:29:04.140 supposedly like an ai generated thumbnail and then there was this one which is like you know

01:29:10.540 i don't know i guess it kind of looks like me but like what's going on here like it just looks like

01:29:17.660 iran is on fire and it's just like weird ai stuff right no i i'm not gonna use these i'm not gonna

01:29:24.940 use these, but it's just like, it's weird. And then I was like, I was like, you know, make it

01:29:29.940 look more realistic. And then they made this one. I mean, this one's kind of cool, I guess.

01:29:36.020 Right. And then there's this one. And then finally, like this one. And I'm like, I don't know, man.

01:29:43.860 Like AI is weird. AI is weird. So I don't know. I think I'm just going to keep like my simplistic

01:29:51.360 um you know YouTube thumbnails they're probably not as like SEO relevant or something but

01:30:00.760 yeah I'm still working on that I'm still trying to figure it out because like I don't know

01:30:07.000 apparently like one of the tricks to like you know getting more views on videos is to have some sort

01:30:13.920 of like catchy YouTube thumbnail and my YouTube thumbnails are not really catchy they're just

01:30:19.880 basically like just pictures of me right like i basically just take a screenshot of me right

01:30:26.680 so i don't know let's see how it works out but i'm not i'm not a fan of the ai generated

01:30:33.320 i'm not a fan of the ai generated thumbnails although there was one that i actually liked

01:30:39.160 and i thought was kind of funny let me bring that one up for you guys so um where was it

01:30:49.880 Oh yeah, it was this one. So, um, okay. So since you guys are here, I'll give you like a sneak

01:30:56.600 peek. I'll give you a sneak peek of the video that I'm going to be posting tomorrow. Um,

01:31:04.280 and then I asked YouTube to make, uh, like a viral, uh, like thumbnail for me.

01:31:10.940 And then this is what they made. What do you guys think of this? This is crazy.

01:31:15.840 so I'm basically working on making a commentary video of like my most viral moments on Pierce

01:31:23.720 Morgan where you know I kind of replay some of the arguments that I have and you know where I

01:31:29.400 call out chunky yogurt and Mirandi or whatever and then I I put like a prompt in um in uh like

01:31:37.780 Chad GPT and then this is what it came up with but I don't know this is just this this is this

01:31:44.340 is too much for me. This is like, this is so funny. Should like, should I use this? I don't

01:31:52.220 even know. I don't know, but there you go. So since you guys are all here, there you go. You

01:32:02.020 guys have like the, the insider info. So my next video tomorrow is going to be where I sort of go

01:32:09.340 over some of the, um, some of the propaganda, uh, that I've exposed on, on Pierce Morgan.

01:32:17.820 So there you go. I don't know. I'm still, I'm still trying to figure it all out because again,

01:32:23.040 like I'm not a YouTuber. Like I'm, you know, I kind of still view myself as a politician,

01:32:27.880 even though I'm, I'm not technically a politician anymore. Um, but yeah, like, you know, it's just

01:32:33.500 political commentary stuff so i don't know we'll see i have to figure it out i i actually prefer

01:32:40.140 like real videos sorry real images to like ai stuff um but yeah anyways all right let's continue

01:32:46.380 with mark levin that was just a little commercial break because i just wanted your thoughts on that

01:32:51.260 okay so you say mark okay well what if there's no deal if a deal short of the unconditional surrender

01:32:58.140 that we had mentioned you know what maybe i'll do a poll let me do a poll you know what i i kind

01:33:02.860 I do feel like it's not really me.

01:33:06.980 You know what?

01:33:07.700 Actually, I don't even need to do a poll.

01:33:09.760 It's not really me.

01:33:10.920 Like, I'm not feeling it.

01:33:12.400 I just thought it was kind of funny, though.

01:33:15.360 Earlier.

01:33:16.580 And if you're not going to send in ground troops to destroy the regime, well, then what are you going to do?

01:33:22.380 This is where I turn to more recent history and what I call the third leg of victory.

01:33:26.820 In addition to the historic military and economic actions, there must be steps taken to destroy the

01:33:33.260 regime internally. After all, the Iranian regime has an elaborate police state, an internal security 0.50

01:33:41.200 force that is armed and well-trained and is critical to the revolution. In fact, the regime

01:33:46.760 has been importing militia from Iraq and elsewhere to reinforce its internal security force. So what

01:33:53.880 we do about this we can't defeat it from the skies we can't defeat it from the seas we can't

01:34:00.760 defeat it alone by economically choking them off even though some people have suggested that

01:34:09.480 the way we have dealt with this in the past during the reagan administration and as part

01:34:14.600 of the reagan doctrine as i've explained here now three or four weeks in a row is to train

01:34:20.360 and arm the people and in iran you have millions and millions of people who are desperate to

01:34:27.320 overthrow the regime who are courageous tens of thousands who have died what other proof

01:34:34.280 do they have to provide we don't have to create opposition there is opposition we need to seize

01:34:41.960 the opportunity and we need to see the opportunity and by that i mean that our cia along with the

01:34:49.320 the Israeli Mossad make determinations about the best way to determine who to train and arm while

01:34:56.880 at the same time we continue the economic stranglehold and our military along with our allies

01:35:04.200 the Israelis provide coordinated support with targeted and supportive attacks on the IRGC and

01:35:12.380 the basie paramilitary police that's in my view how you do it well mark you never served in the

01:35:21.660 military i know history okay so no history nobody alive ever served in okay so now we're getting to

01:35:28.600 the the there's like a short part of his uh his speech here where um i already commented on this

01:35:34.780 in my video from two days ago so i'm not going to repeat the commentary but you guys can go and

01:35:39.580 watch my video from two days ago where I give a bit more analysis on this part. So I'm not

01:35:45.580 going to repeat myself. The Civil War either. Nobody alive ever served in the Revolutionary

01:35:50.440 War either. That's not the point. You do leave it to the experts to figure this out. The President

01:35:57.700 of the United States, the Commander-in-Chief, he makes the decisions. And I look at history.

01:36:03.360 i look at success success in destroying the soviet union success in pushing communism out of central

01:36:11.520 and south america and we did this success in pushing communism out of parts of africa

01:36:18.800 success in pushing the russians the soviets out of afghanistan we didn't send in troops

01:36:25.120 We armed the freedom fighters, the Mujahideen in Afghanistan and others throughout the world. 0.98

01:36:36.200 Why would we take this off the table if the Kurds stole weapons and the Kurds have been

01:36:42.620 great allies of ours everywhere around the Middle East? They are patriotic. They are pro-American.

01:36:48.760 there are other ways to do this the question is whether our cia is up to the task i hope it is

01:36:56.400 i don't know anything about the bureaucracy over there i remember william casey the director of

01:37:00.540 the cia under reagan that man was fearless it's something to think about quite seriously

01:37:06.280 this is how we've dealt with it in the past obviously iran is not afghanistan it's not

01:37:12.340 Angola, it's not Nicaragua and so forth. But as I see it, as we have all seen, the Iranian people

01:37:20.480 have been more than willing than any other people to die for their liberation. They want liberation,

01:37:26.080 and I bet they want retribution against this regime for slaughtering tens of thousands of 0.96

01:37:32.200 their family members and raping and torturing their young women, their daughters, their sisters, 0.97

01:37:38.080 their wives, and their mothers by the tens of thousands. They just need an opportunity. 0.99

01:37:45.520 They can't do it with their bare hands. But the point is this. The only certain way to ensure

01:37:51.580 that the Iranian regime can never and will never spread its revolution here in the Middle East, 0.97

01:37:58.400 in Europe, or anywhere else, and all that evil and horror that goes with it involves its elimination.

01:38:05.880 no matter what president trump does he will be attacked by the democrats the media

01:38:12.120 the isolationists for his heroic actions against the iranian regime so i would ignore the democrats

01:38:20.720 and the media and the isolationists they want failure they will define success for them as

01:38:28.400 our failure as a nation because they are driven by deranged a deranged mentality about politics

01:38:35.340 exploitation for power they are fundamentally power hungry and they're fundamentally anti-human

01:38:43.160 and anti-civilization like these people are um they are anti-civilization and anti-humanity i

01:38:55.800 don't know how else to to describe it we've come so far we've made such incredible progress

01:39:03.680 Victory is in sight, in my view.

01:39:07.160 There's a gentleman by the name of Ephraim Fard.

01:39:09.920 He's an expert in counterterrorism on Iran and Middle East, based in Washington.

01:39:14.340 And he writes the following in the Jerusalem Post.

01:39:17.880 Moments in which internal crisis and external pressure converge at this level, he's talking about Iran, are rare.

01:39:24.720 And history suggests they don't remain open indefinitely.

01:39:29.580 Previous opportunities for fundamental change were constrained by hesitation,

01:39:34.720 particularly at the level of international coordination, and those constraints carry consequences.

01:39:40.340 The current moment presents a similar test, but with higher stakes and less margin for delay.

01:39:48.080 If the regime survives, he writes, the ideology that defines the system will remain intact,

01:39:53.900 along with its patterns of behavior as a threat that cannot be managed indefinitely.

01:40:00.800 Systems defined by this level of ideological rigidity and expansionism do not evolve into

01:40:07.800 moderation. They persist until they are forced to change or cease to exist. The removal of this

01:40:15.020 structure would not only address an immediate security challenge, but would also open the

01:40:20.120 possibility for a different relationship between Iran and the region, one that aligns with the

01:40:26.000 emerging framework established by the Abraham Accords. Now, to be clear, I don't have access

01:40:33.340 to all the information the president has or the military intelligence experts, but I know what I

01:40:39.140 know. And I know the president of the United States, President Trump, always has the best

01:40:45.120 interests of the american people at front of mine and that will be his guiding motivation

01:40:52.320 and frankly i could not be prouder of our president his team and our military i could

01:40:59.440 not be prouder of all of them my unsolicited advice just as a commentator somebody who studies history

01:41:08.160 stay the course stay the course but thank you to all those who brought us to this point

01:41:15.640 where frankly nobody thought we'd ever be thanks to our president our military and the people

01:41:21.840 around him be sure to like and subscribe okay so that was always very informative okay guys i took

01:41:30.100 your advice on the, um, AI sort of like images and stuff. Okay, guys, I think I found the perfect

01:41:39.020 solution. So I think from now on, this is the style of thumbnails that I'm going to be using.

01:41:46.600 Look at this guys. What do you think? I'll just make it all Lego. How about that?

01:41:55.480 does that does that work i'll just i'll just turn all of my youtube thumbnails to lego

01:42:04.100 yeah i mean that that's pretty legit that's pretty accurate right and then guys like look

01:42:15.620 at this one. Look at this one. It's like a Lego me. Oh my gosh. Guys, AI is dangerous. Not only is AI

01:42:30.440 dangerous, you guys are dangerous. Oh, poll? I should do a poll? Okay. All right. All right.

01:42:38.220 Let me bring up the official poll song, though. Because I can't do a poll without the poll song.

01:42:44.100 So, um, where are the songs here list?

01:42:51.780 All right.

01:42:52.920 Let me bring up the official poll song.

01:42:58.260 Okay.

01:42:59.000 And then let me get the poll ready to go.

01:43:01.600 Uh,

01:43:14.100 all right

01:43:27.460 you guys have until the end of the song to vote

01:43:44.100 standing tall and flat don't need food or coffee don't get sweaty or fat

01:43:50.100 hair locks tighter than a government line not one strand moves not even in time flick

01:43:58.100 no blinking no stress just stand and stare meanwhile explaining things no one prepares

01:44:06.100 I am cardboard to see

01:44:08.500 Same speech, new day

01:44:11.200 One of the two

01:44:13.820 Explaining it again

01:44:19.760 Real slow

01:44:21.200 Every live stream

01:44:23.260 It's the same old show

01:44:25.080 Same five questions

01:44:26.460 IQ below

01:44:28.400 Wait, can you say it one more time?

01:44:31.320 Bro, I just did

01:44:33.140 Like eight times

01:44:34.800 Surrounded by chaos, lost in the fog

01:44:41.160 Explaining basics like it's dialogue with a log

01:44:45.200 If patience was money, I'd own the street

01:44:49.000 Instead I'm cardboard on repeat

01:44:51.200 Repeat

01:44:52.740 I am cardboard to see, yeah

01:44:56.760 Hair still perfect, don't need a mirror

01:44:59.720 Flat but famous

01:45:02.380 loud and clear even cardboard gets it why you still here yeah still explaining it

01:45:12.040 okay guys i'm going to remember i'm gonna remember who voted yes and who voted no no i'm joking i'm

01:45:27.220 not gonna remember who voted yes all good so but thank god thank god there are enough people in the

01:45:32.980 chat who voted no so okay i'm not gonna do i'm not gonna do the uh the lego thumbnails there you go

01:45:43.880 so you guys uh the the the chat has spoken this is democracy so no lego thumbnails although

01:45:53.940 So, I don't know, maybe if I'm like trolling like Chunky Yogurt or Marandi Charandi, maybe

01:46:01.480 I'll make an exception.

01:46:02.860 Maybe I'll do like Chunky Yogurt.

01:46:04.980 How about this?

01:46:05.480 How about this?

01:46:08.900 I will use this one.

01:46:10.900 I'll use like a modified version of this one for my Pierce Morgan, you know, commentary

01:46:16.420 video.

01:46:17.100 How about that?

01:46:18.660 And I'll just, I'll just, you know, that way we can make fun of like Chunky Yogurt and

01:46:23.120 but like for my serious videos, obviously I won't because that's, you know, we don't want to do

01:46:30.300 that, but I'll try to find some sort of compromise. Also, why does it look like I'm giving the middle

01:46:34.980 finger here? This is very weird. This looks like I'm giving the middle finger and I don't approve

01:46:40.540 of that. And I'm also wearing a starfish necklace. So there you go. That's just the weirdness with

01:46:46.560 AI. All right, I do want to go to Sean Hannity. Sean Hannity starts at 9pm. But in the meantime,

01:46:56.140 let's go to one of my favorite American politicians, Senator John Kennedy from the

01:47:03.060 great state of Louisiana. Let's see what he has to say. Joining me now, Republican Louisiana Senator

01:47:08.860 John Kennedy. Senator Kennedy, always good to have you with us. Thank you for joining me today.

01:47:13.900 You know, you see these headlines like this one in The New York Times.

01:47:18.100 U.S. intelligence shows Iran retains substantial missile capabilities.

01:47:25.020 Wait, is it just me or does he look like he's lost some weight?

01:47:30.180 Has he lost some weight?

01:47:34.920 Joining me now, Republican Louisiana Senator John Kennedy.

01:47:38.860 Senator Kennedy, always good to have you with us.

01:47:40.920 Thank you for joining me today.

01:47:42.460 You know, you see these headlines like this one in The New York Times.

01:47:46.660 U.S. intelligence shows Iran retains substantial missile capabilities.

01:47:53.040 And we hear, you know, sort of the opposite, really, from the president about the capabilities.

01:47:57.420 Here's a few of his comments, recent comments.

01:48:00.540 Watch.

01:48:01.940 They are decimated, both militarily and economically.

01:48:06.200 They have no Navy totally wiped down.

01:48:08.340 They have no Air Force totally wiped down.

01:48:10.180 they have no anti-aircraft capability totally wiped out no radar they have a little left they

01:48:16.760 probably built up during this period of time we'll knock that out in about a day so just to

01:48:21.480 add one specific of the new york times report on this it says that iran has restored operational

01:48:26.580 access to 30 of their of 33 of their missile sites along the strait of hormuz which is obviously a

01:48:33.960 strategic site for all of this so you know which side do you do you believe what's your assessment

01:48:40.080 of how debilitated they actually are after these weeks of war?

01:48:45.240 I read the New York Times article.

01:48:49.440 It's all based on anonymous sources.

01:48:52.960 I think the New York Times is a Democratic newspaper.

01:48:56.880 The New York Times would support a dead squirrel over a human Republican

01:49:04.140 if the squirrel had a D behind its name.

01:49:06.980 That's true.

01:49:07.680 So I discount what they write about this.

01:49:10.080 Number two, I think Chris Wright is right.

01:49:13.940 We've known for a while that Iran has 60 percent enriched uranium.

01:49:20.900 That means that its uranium has a 60 percent concentration of an isotope called U-235.

01:49:29.320 It's a small step from 60 percent to 90 percent, a matter of weeks, maybe days.

01:49:36.900 And then all they have to do is stick the warhead on the end of a missile and fire it.

01:49:42.700 Could they reach the United States?

01:49:44.820 We're not sure.

01:49:46.000 We're very sure, pretty sure, they can reach Turkey, Paris, Berlin, London.

01:49:53.380 Here's the problem.

01:49:56.200 And here's why the New York Times is wrong.

01:50:00.280 Iran has been a problem since God was a baby. 0.83

01:50:04.600 And the problem is that the leadership there is a strain of crazy that can't be fixed. 0.98

01:50:13.060 If you give them a bomb, they will use it.

01:50:16.360 I know my colleagues like Senator Schumer says they're not a problem.

01:50:21.360 But frankly, Chuck, Senator Schumer can't even cook a cheeseburger on this issue.

01:50:27.440 He's wrong. They're a threat. And that's why the president acted.

01:50:30.380 So do you think I got to go in a moment and I know you do, too. But just quickly, if you can, sir, do you think that, you know, getting rid of this regime so that the IRGC is no longer in power in Iran is the only way to really get anywhere in this situation?

01:50:44.420 No, it's not the only way. President Trump has gutted the country publicly. It's a private and

01:50:53.420 public sector like a fish. He needs to continue the blockade and just wear them down. He may have

01:51:00.560 to go back in and bomb more, but we're not there yet. Okay. Senator Kennedy, thank you for your

01:51:05.420 assessment. Good to have you here as always, sir. Thank you. Joining me now. Wow. Okay. All right.

01:51:12.680 let me go to some of your super chats really quick. Um, so Roman Viking says you should turn

01:51:20.480 check into real chunky yogurt. Yeah, I can do that. I can definitely turn, uh, you know,

01:51:26.780 chunky yogurt into chunky yogurt. Um, not a bad idea. Uh, I saw this comment, not a super chat,

01:51:34.140 but interesting. Goldie, take a screenshot of something during your live. I watched someone

01:51:38.640 who knows how the algorithm and YouTube works and people are sick of AI and shock and awe,

01:51:43.340 people want to, okay, so why don't I take a screenshot of this? I could take a screenshot

01:51:46.980 of, of the Lego and post this. No, I'm joking. I'm joking. I'm teasing. Um, but that's just

01:51:52.940 basically, that's actually what I've been doing with all of my, um, YouTube thumbnails. It's

01:51:59.400 basically, it's literally just like screenshots of, um, sorry, I'm just keeping an eye on Fox

01:52:05.280 news because i want to go to sean hannity um but like if you go to my channel like my lives they're

01:52:13.600 like when i do actually um oh wait sean hannity's starting

01:52:21.520 it is nine o'clock on the east coast of the u.s

01:52:24.400 9 a.m right here we are in beijing china now from beijing where president donald trump

01:52:31.600 Key members of his cabinet, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, Secretary of State Marco Rubio,

01:52:37.760 the Treasury Secretary Scott Besson, some of America's top business leaders, they are all

01:52:43.200 gathered for this historic summit between the two biggest economies in the entire, frankly,

01:52:48.880 history of the world. Now, 12 hours after touching down on Air Force One and receiving a very warm

01:52:55.200 welcome from a Chinese delegation, President Trump is now set to meet with his Chinese counterpart,

01:53:00.640 that is president chi uh for their first one-on-one meeting of the summit now remember they

01:53:06.320 did meet in his first term we're going to take you there uh during the show live on the ground

01:53:11.520 as it is all happening and in just a moment we'll bring you exclusive coverage from inside air force

01:53:17.600 one uh where yes uh i traveled with the president a whopping 16 hour flight from washington to

01:53:24.480 beijing also coming up tonight we'll hear from the secretary of state part-time press secretary i

01:53:30.800 don't know national security advisor what job doesn't he have marco rubio he sat down as i

01:53:36.240 said with yours truly on air force one to preview this high stakes trip also senator john fetterman

01:53:42.720 lindsey graham josh hawley eric schmidt they will all be joining us and along with the great victor

01:53:47.600 davis hansen charles payne and much more plus we have a big programming announcement that's coming

01:53:53.760 up in just a few hours. I will be interviewing President Donald Trump after his first high

01:53:58.820 stakes meeting with President Xi. That interview will air tomorrow night right here, 9 p.m.

01:54:04.980 Eastern. Guys, President Trump, watch, Freddie. We'll watch that tomorrow night.

01:54:09.500 We'll run down of what is a jam-packed schedule for the president today. Our very own Jackie

01:54:14.560 Heinrich on the ground, also on Air Force One. It was great to see you. Great to see you here.

01:54:18.960 He's got a busy schedule today. He sure does. It's been great to be around,

01:54:22.280 Dushan. We traveled together, very long flight. My surprise, we didn't talk to him on the plane.

01:54:27.160 He usually comes back to speak to press, but he might have just been having a lot of fun with

01:54:31.020 Elon Musk. You talked to him. But we, reporters didn't get much time with the president since he

01:54:35.920 left the South Lawn. And he had, you know, big guests on the plane, Elon Musk, Jensen Long.

01:54:40.340 Might have just been having a lot of fun with them. But that means for us, the first we'll hear

01:54:43.960 about what he wants to bring up will be either in a true social post or when he speaks to you

01:54:49.220 after his big meeting. There are several issues that are sort of looming large in the background.

01:54:53.440 You've got China really wants to extract some language from the U.S. that would help them

01:54:59.680 with Taiwan. They really are looking for us to say the U.S. opposes Taiwan independence

01:55:06.260 rather than the U.S. does not support, turn that to a more active word. There's no indication

01:55:11.220 that the U.S. is going to change its position relative to Taiwan, but that's going to be

01:55:15.400 something that Xi maybe tries to dangle as the president tries to create some motion on the Iran

01:55:20.540 war. China's got every incentive to get active in this negotiation and force Iran to a deal.

01:55:26.920 So far, they have not, but they're dependent on their oil coming through the strait.

01:55:31.020 And so those are the issues in the background that we hope to hear from the president on

01:55:35.340 when he finally has this meeting. Well, it's also going to be tariffs. It's going to be trade. It's

01:55:40.220 going to be, you mentioned the Strait of Hormuz, intellectual property theft. I think everything

01:55:44.780 is on the table. And whether it's an agenda item or not, I tend to know the president,

01:55:50.060 haven't known him for decades. If it's something that's on his mind, he will bring all of that up.

01:55:55.020 You know, the one thing that is very interesting, when the president does talk about President Xi

01:55:59.360 or President Putin, he says, I have a good relationship with them. I think what maybe

01:56:05.020 makes him a little unique, a little different, is he respects the fact that President Xi is China

01:56:10.600 first. President Putin's going to be Russia first. He will be America first. And I think that there's

01:56:17.600 been a fundamental, you know, distrust because people think, oh, they're just looking out for

01:56:22.160 their own country. The president anticipates that. Of course. And he's not going to get pushed around

01:56:26.240 by the Chinese. He knows the game that they play in all of these things. More likely will come out 1.00

01:56:31.220 of this summit with a managed detente on the trade front. There are, of course, a lot of American

01:56:36.240 farmers watching this summit. They want China to come through on their promise to buy

01:56:40.640 millions of tons of American soybeans. There's also the issue of beef, Boeing planes. Those are

01:56:46.240 the sort of deliverables, if you would, that might actually come out of this. But the big

01:56:50.620 looming issues that are in the background, we might not see a lot of movement on, but will play

01:56:54.420 a role in the conversation, Taiwan and Iran. One thing that's notable is the last time the president

01:57:00.300 met with an authoritarian leader, Vladimir Putin, there was a joint statement to press.

01:57:03.700 and we didn't get a Q&A there either, but there is no scheduled sort of remarks from the two of

01:57:11.280 them. We'll see them a couple of times, but we're going to have to lean on you to tell us

01:57:15.260 and tell the world what's really going on behind closed doors.

01:57:18.160 I mean, it was interesting. Elon Musk was on Air Force One in Alaska, the head of NVIDIA,

01:57:24.280 Mr. Wong. He joined. I had a long conversation with him. The idea that there is a business

01:57:31.120 relationship to be had, which I think could lead to a broader peace and understanding,

01:57:36.220 I think people miss that aspect of it. And it would be in everybody's best interest to get

01:57:41.720 along financially. That, I think, can lead to other, you know, hopefully, obstacles being

01:57:46.880 overcome. Yeah, the president bringing these big tech leaders, American tech figures to this

01:57:52.340 summit, showcasing what the U.S. has to offer and why China needs it. I mean, that's a statement

01:57:57.040 in and of itself and you know having those folks on board the plane and arriving with the president

01:58:01.920 also shows the closeness of the relationship between them this is not just you know we can

01:58:05.760 do this this is sort of part of the fabric i'm i'm really interested um in knowing what marco rubio

01:58:12.800 has to say given how anti-communist he is and and you know how much of a relationship live to the

01:58:18.720 great hall of the people as soon as president trump and president chi greet each other that

01:58:23.760 is ahead of today's critical talks uh but and by the way right after that meeting i will be having

01:58:29.520 an interview with the president uh but we'll get some background on this trip's big week and what

01:58:35.040 what what the stakes are a few hours ago i did sit down on air force one with maybe the hardest

01:58:41.520 working person in washington in the swamp other than president trump uh the 72nd u.s secretary

01:58:48.080 of State, also National Security Advisor, and part-time Caroline Leavitt-Billen.

01:58:53.800 Here is my exclusive interview with the Secretary of State during our trip to China, Marco Rubio.

01:59:02.500 Secretary of State Marco Rubio, here we are on board Air Force One. We're headed to China.

01:59:08.760 These meetings are very critical. I mean, my first question, do you view China as our top

01:59:14.960 geopolitical follow? Yeah, it's both our top political challenge geopolitically, and it's also

01:59:20.000 the most important relationship for us to manage. I mean, it's a big, powerful country. It's going

01:59:24.980 to continue to grow, but we're going to have interests of ours that are going to be in conflict

01:59:29.540 with interests of theirs. And to avoid wars and maintain peace and stability in the world,

01:59:35.120 we're going to have to manage those. There are clearly areas where they're so important for the

01:59:39.320 United States that we're going to have to raise those issues, and we'll continue to do so. The

01:59:44.480 president's going to continue to do so. There might be some areas of cooperation, too, and we

01:59:48.620 want to make sure we don't walk away from those. You know, it's interesting. The one thing the

01:59:52.540 president always says, he's America first. He understands President Xi is going to be China

01:59:59.760 first. Putin will be Russia first. I think having that understanding is a little bit unique,

02:00:05.660 historically speaking, as if we should be surprised that they put their country above 0.89

02:00:10.280 ours. Actually, foreign policy and national security matters work best when you understand

02:00:15.180 that point. Every country should do what's in the best interest of their country. And then where

02:00:20.480 their areas of alignment, where what's in our best interest and their best interests are aligned,

02:00:24.620 that's where you have cooperation. That's where you have alliances. That's where you have

02:00:27.720 strong bonds of friendship. When there's conflict, that's between what they want and what we want.

02:00:34.540 That's where the work of diplomacy and these personal relationships between the leaders are

02:00:38.320 so critical. And there are times when some of those issues of conflict are irreconcilable.

02:00:44.140 I think Iran is an example of that, that the clerical regime wants to have a nuclear weapon 0.62

02:00:49.000 and the world led by President Trump says that's completely impossible, cannot happen.

02:00:54.660 So unfortunately, there's some areas like that where it comes up. But there are areas where if

02:00:59.260 we can find areas of commonality, that's very powerful and important. But we will have to

02:01:03.560 manage these bilateral differences because they're very significant. And when it's two big,

02:01:07.580 powerful countries, you know, that falling apart could have tremendous significance on the global

02:01:11.920 economy and on global peace. I want to get back to Iran in a second. Let me stay on China. Trade,

02:01:18.340 tariffs, intellectual property theft, Taiwan, their help of Iran, I think, is part of it also.

02:01:26.540 Yeah, all those topics will come up. There's no doubt about it. In the case of the Indo-Pacific,

02:01:30.880 Taiwan and so forth, it's not in China's interest or anyone's interest for there to be any sort of

02:01:35.260 forced change in the status quo. I think stability there is very important. We've made clear to them

02:01:40.600 that any support for Iran would obviously be detrimental for our relationship. That obviously 0.97

02:01:45.340 is going to come up in this conversation. On trade, look, the United States is very clear.

02:01:50.160 We have to be able to make our own stuff. We cannot depend on China or any country for that

02:01:54.040 matter for 100% of anything that we need. When you depend on any other country for 100% of what

02:01:59.580 you need, you're very vulnerable. Likewise, China wants the world to be dependent 0.59

02:02:05.080 on them for 100% because it gives them strength and leverage. So that's a perfect example of an 0.79

02:02:09.560 area in which our interests are not aligned. But the president's very committed to bringing back

02:02:14.920 factories, bringing back industrial capacity of the United States, and diversifying where we get

02:02:19.560 our rare earth, our critical minerals, our supply chains. You know, President Trump has described

02:02:25.360 President Xi to me in interviews as stoic, all business, no niceties in that sense, although

02:02:33.620 there will be a state dinner. Now, I know this is your first trip to China, but not your first

02:02:39.000 go-around with China. Yeah. Well, look, their system is very disciplined. It's very focused.

02:02:44.700 When you speak to them, they have an agenda. They go through that agenda.

02:02:48.300 The president's style is quite different, but they seem to have a very good, at least,

02:02:52.440 interpersonal relationship. And that's important. Look, the differences between the countries

02:02:56.560 remain, but the ability to manage it becomes not easy, but easier when the heads of state

02:03:02.860 have a good working relationship, and they seem to. Yeah, well, I think so, too. What would you say,

02:03:09.660 what is your read on President Xi? I mean, you read that their economy is struggling. You read

02:03:15.020 that he's isolated. You read both Putin and President Xi have a pretty high degree of

02:03:22.220 paranoia. What is your read as you look at President Xi from a distance going into the

02:03:27.600 meeting? Yeah, I think my read has been what I think has been for a while, and that is China

02:03:32.580 has a plan. And they clearly view themselves, they believe they will be the world's most

02:03:36.640 powerful country, they'll surpass the United States, and they have a plan to do it. And

02:03:40.560 they're executing on that plan. And I don't blame them. If I were the Chinese government,

02:03:44.420 I'd have the same plan. We, on the other hand, don't view it that way. And we don't

02:03:48.620 want to see anything. We're not trying to constrain China, but their rise cannot come 1.00

02:03:53.300 at our expense. Their rise cannot come at our fall. So there's an area where we're just

02:03:57.540 going to have a difference of opinion. But my view of them and of the government in China

02:04:01.100 as they're very confident, they have a plan,

02:04:03.960 and they're trying to execute on that plan, which is fine.

02:04:06.780 I understand that from a nation state perspective,

02:04:09.040 but when that plan is in conflict

02:04:10.580 with the national interest of the United States,

02:04:12.740 we need to do what's right for the United States.

02:04:14.440 And that'll come up on this trip,

02:04:16.740 but more importantly, that'll be a feature

02:04:18.220 of this relationship for a long time.

02:04:20.460 If you had, it's kind of hard,

02:04:23.520 it's not a fair question to ask,

02:04:25.320 but if you had a goal coming out of this summit,

02:04:28.560 Because this is a big deal that you're going, that the president is going, the secretary of defense is on this plane and so many others.

02:04:35.380 And every top business leader in America is going on this trip.

02:04:38.540 It's kind of crazy.

02:04:40.420 If you had a goal, what you would like, you would say it would be, how would you define a successful trip?

02:04:46.060 Well, I think it's already a success because we're going and we're going to be able to talk to them as opposed to at them.

02:04:50.920 You know, one thing is to exchange phone calls and another thing is to put out messages and press releases and statements.

02:04:56.920 But when the leaders are actually engaging personally, not just the president to president, but me with their foreign minister and Pete Hexeth with their defense minister and so forth, it creates channels of communication that can prove valuable in a time of potential conflict or where there might be heightened tension.

02:05:14.400 So that's important.

02:05:15.660 I also think, and we're not prepared to announce this yet, but there are a couple of unique areas of cooperation that we can work together on.

02:05:21.080 The obvious ones are obviously fentanyl precursor production, which China, because their system can do this, can really crack down on that.

02:05:28.740 That would help lower fentanyl deaths in the United States.

02:05:31.360 And there are a couple other areas of international relations where perhaps we intend to talk to them about discreetly.

02:05:36.840 We're not going to announce it in the media, but areas that we both share some concern over.

02:05:41.160 I have a friend of mine. He's a great inventor.

02:05:44.220 and the level of intellectual property theft

02:05:48.520 not just impacted his entire business,

02:05:51.360 but it's impacting many American companies.

02:05:54.340 Big issue?

02:05:55.300 That's right. An enormous issue.

02:05:56.820 And one that we're going to continue to raise,

02:05:58.660 even as we try to protect our companies

02:06:00.360 and our competitive advantage,

02:06:01.500 we're going to raise that with them.

02:06:03.140 I don't think there's any point in denying

02:06:04.980 that the fact of the matter is

02:06:07.480 that a lot of the advancements,

02:06:08.800 not all, but a lot of the advancements

02:06:10.360 you've seen in the commercial sector

02:06:11.920 and the industrial sector

02:06:12.960 the technological sector in China is a product of intellectual property theft and or reverse

02:06:19.420 engineering, which is the same thing, of our own technology. So that has to be addressed.

02:06:24.040 But I also think we can't only rely on that. We have to stay ahead of the curve on innovation.

02:06:29.040 You know, one thing is if you're stealing or taking the stuff that was cutting edge five years

02:06:34.220 ago, but the things that are going to be cutting edge five years from now, we've got to continue

02:06:38.600 to invest and push our companies to continue to stay ahead of that pace of that and continue to

02:06:44.260 lead the world in innovation. Maybe the best way to transition to the issue of Iran, which I want 0.99

02:06:49.100 to ask you about, is that China's both public statements and their actions, although it was

02:06:56.440 interesting that a Chinese tanker got hit in the Strait of Hormuz, but obviously they've been

02:07:04.080 taken a very different position. You keep reading, the intelligence is showing they've been helping

02:07:09.000 the Iranians. Obviously, it's more important to them. We've made the argument to the Chinese,

02:07:15.980 and I hope it's compelling, and they'll have a chance to do something about it at the United

02:07:19.740 Nations later this week when there's a resolution just condemning Iran on what they're doing with

02:07:23.880 the Straits. Look, there's three things. The Chinese have ships stuck in the Persian Gulf

02:07:27.600 because setting up a system that says we're going to let certain ships through but others not,

02:07:32.460 it's easier said than done. And you saw a Chinese, not Chinese flag vessel, but it was a Chinese

02:07:37.500 cargo got hit over the weekend. I'm sure Iran didn't do it deliberately, but they did it. It 0.99

02:07:42.520 happened. And so that's why these Chinese ships are stuck in there. The second is, I don't think 0.98

02:07:47.280 that China, it's a huge source of instability. It threatens to destabilize Asia more than any 0.98

02:07:52.680 other part of the world because it's heavily reliant on the straits for energy. And the third 0.93

02:07:56.980 reason is because China's economy is export driven, meaning their economy is fueled not by

02:08:02.120 what they consume domestically, but by what they make and sell to other countries. Well,

02:08:06.980 of all the countries of the world, economies are melting down because of this crisis in the

02:08:11.320 Straits. They're going to be buying less Chinese product and the Chinese exports are going to drop

02:08:15.280 precipitously. So it's in their interest to resolve this. We hope to convince them to play

02:08:19.840 a more active role in getting Iran to walk away from what they're doing now. 0.98

02:08:23.920 You know, I thought you had a lot of jobs by being the secretary of state 0.57

02:08:28.940 and the NSA, you know, head of the NSA, then you had to go in and become White House press secretary.

02:08:37.080 No, no. Caroline is irreplaceable. I was just a pitch in. 1.00

02:08:42.800 It seemed that you like it. It seemed like you're having fun.

02:08:45.260 Well, yeah, I don't know if I'd have fun if I had to do it every week, but one time ain't too bad, and I enjoyed it, you know,

02:08:51.580 and it was about foreign policy mostly, so I was honored to be able to do it, but we can't wait till Caroline gets back.

02:08:58.240 She had a beautiful baby, and we wish her the best, but we can't wait to see her back.

02:09:02.380 I think she was beautiful.

02:09:03.760 But now that we are on the issue of Iran, let me specifically ask you, because it seems like there are two major issues that just continue to percolate.

02:09:16.720 And I had a conversation with the president, a private conversation, and I did ask him if I could talk about it.

02:09:21.640 And it was, you know, I asked him maybe a week ago, I said, you know, are you going to go back to bombing?

02:09:29.340 He said, I said, you could probably wipe out their economy in 15 minutes.

02:09:33.500 He goes, no, Sean, I could knock it out in five.

02:09:36.580 He goes, but then he said something, and you referenced this in your press when you were filling in for Caroline.

02:09:42.000 And you said, imagine the world with a nuclear-armed Iran, and forget about the street. 0.89

02:09:49.560 They would hold the entire world house. 0.99

02:09:51.540 That's right.

02:09:52.000 There always seems to come out of nowhere these bizarre conspiracy theories.

02:09:56.380 Oh, the president is doing this for Israel or Fox News hosts or Bibi Netanyahu.

02:10:03.180 I ask everybody, did he have any choice based on what Steve Whitcock told us?

02:10:07.940 No, look, every president in the last 20 years has been worried about the Iran nuclear program.

02:10:14.160 Obama did a nuclear deal with them because he was worried about it. 0.95

02:10:16.780 Not a good nuclear deal, but he made one.

02:10:18.820 The president reversed it and imposed crippling sanctions and took out Soleimani, who was a threat to the United States.

02:10:25.580 Joe Biden was begging to get back into a nuclear deal with him.

02:10:28.240 The whole world, you know, the French, the Germans, the U.K., they imposed new sanctions on Iran last year, snapback sanctions because of the nuclear threat. 0.63

02:10:39.380 The whole world has seen Iran was building up a conventional capability where they would have so many missiles and so many drones that they could overwhelm anybody's defenses. 0.77

02:10:48.240 Once they had that, nobody could do anything about their nuclear program because they would say, if you attack our nuclear program, we will wipe out six countries in the Gulf region and you won't be able to defend against it. 0.94

02:10:59.320 You won't have enough patriots, you know, because you get these swarms of drones, these swarms of rockets.

02:11:03.580 They were on the verge in a year from now.

02:11:05.560 They would have been at that point.

02:11:06.740 The president said that's an intolerable risk.

02:11:09.120 People are struggling to make that connection.

02:11:10.980 But the connection is very real.

02:11:12.640 They were building a such a high number. 0.86

02:11:15.300 they were going to have so many drones and missiles that no one can attack Iran because 0.91

02:11:20.040 the result would be catastrophic for the region. And once they had that immunity, 0.87

02:11:24.540 then they would break out towards a weapon. We knew that. The president's not going to allow

02:11:28.360 that to happen under his watch. Yeah. Let's go to the Western Hemisphere.

02:11:32.620 And what is the relationship with Venezuela? And I know it's got to be an issue near and dear to

02:11:37.860 your heart. Yeah. I know your family background, and that's Cuba. Well, on Venezuela, it's been

02:11:43.440 four months. So I think we've made some steady progress on improving Venezuela. Look, we're

02:11:47.340 trying to normalize that place. This was a place where a country of incredible wealth,

02:11:51.460 but all the wealth was being stolen. It wasn't going to benefit the Venezuelan people.

02:11:55.380 So we've created mechanisms. You know, all the money they make on oil now goes into a bank 0.86

02:11:59.480 account in New York, and it's audited by KPMG, and it's being used to pay the salaries of teachers

02:12:04.620 and firefighters and police officers and university professors. So for the first time in over a

02:12:09.440 decade, the wealth of the country is actually benefiting the people of Venezuela, but there's

02:12:13.700 more work to be done. Ultimately, as we work through this process, we will have to reach a

02:12:18.000 stage of transition where you're going to have to normalize your government. There's going to have

02:12:21.780 to be a process that's legitimate, that people look at and say, this is a legitimate permanent

02:12:27.280 government, presidency, elections, things of that nature. That moment has to arrive, but it has to

02:12:32.680 be, we don't want to wait too long. We want to see it happen, but you don't want to move too fast

02:12:37.020 either because the whole thing can break so it's a it's it's a difficult thing to manage but it's

02:12:41.740 only four months in and i'm very i think we should be pleased then as well as a better place today

02:12:46.440 than it was four months ago but it needs to continue to stay on that path in the case of

02:12:50.920 cuba is a very different situation there is no economy in cuba the to the extent there's any

02:12:56.360 wealth in cuba it doesn't go it doesn't forget about it doesn't go to the people it doesn't even

02:13:00.120 go to the government the wealth is controlled by a private by a company owned by military generals

02:13:05.360 They take all the money. They're sitting on billions of dollars.

02:13:08.640 This is a country where people are literally now eating garbage from the streets,

02:13:12.180 but they have a company that controls all of the money making there that's sitting on 15,

02:13:16.940 16 billion dollars. So it's a broken, non-functional economy, and it's impossible to

02:13:22.260 change it. I wish it were different, but I believe, it's my personal opinion, you cannot change

02:13:26.940 the economic trajectory of Cuba as long as the people who are in charge of it now are in charge

02:13:32.540 of it. That's what's going to have to change, because these people have proven incapable.

02:13:35.900 I hope I'm wrong. We'll give them a chance. But I don't think it's going to happen. I don't think

02:13:40.020 we're going to be able to change the trajectory of Cuba as long as these people are in charge

02:13:44.620 in that regime. If these people are not in charge, I mean, I can envision American wealth

02:13:49.920 and companies, it could become the destination. The one thing Cuba would enjoy is an enormous

02:13:56.960 expatriate community, Cuban-Americans that would go back and invest. But I think there would be 1.00

02:14:01.140 interest globally. Look, they have significant mineral deposits in Cuba. And some of the rare

02:14:07.160 earth minerals, some of the best in the world. They have obviously an incredible opportunity

02:14:10.740 with tourism, with agriculture, very rich farmland. So Cuba should not be a poor country.

02:14:16.060 Its people should not be starving. Its people should be prosperous. And what's most interesting

02:14:19.520 is you see Cubans everywhere in the world, in the United States, but you see them in Europe,

02:14:23.500 you see them in Panama. Cubans leave Cuba, they go to other countries and they become successful.

02:14:28.040 The only place in the world where Cubans can't seem to prosper and succeed is in Cuba. 0.97

02:14:33.380 All right, and coming up, part two of my exclusive interview with the Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, aboard Air Force One. 0.99

02:14:40.980 Also, momentarily, we are expecting Donald Trump will be leaving his hotel and meeting with President Xi.

02:14:46.640 We'll check in with John Fetterman, and also we'll tell you what this trip could mean for our country as we move forward for America's already booming economy.

02:14:56.040 We'll check in with the one and only Charles Payne and Victor Davis Hanson and Josh Hawley.

02:15:00.820 Straight ahead.

02:15:09.880 Hey. 0.90

02:15:15.960 This is the Mahindra rock sword.

02:15:18.740 Okay, so that was pretty interesting.

02:15:22.680 Um, wow. Like I, I couldn't, I couldn't pause because that's, that's live. Right. So, um,

02:15:31.620 but what Marco Rubio was saying about Iran, um, I thought that was very interesting where he's

02:15:38.860 basically, um, he's comparing the Islamic regime to maybe China and saying that, you know, China,

02:15:50.200 um there might be a path of reconciliation there but then he compares that with the islamic regime

02:15:58.920 and basically says you know the islamic regime is irreconcilable and you know what's really

02:16:06.860 interesting about all this oh i just had this here we go so what's really interesting is that

02:16:12.460 I mean, I'm sure Marco Rubio is aware of this fact, but China, I mean, the CCP anyway.

02:16:22.120 So, guys, I just want to make, you know, I just want to be very clear when I'm talking about China. 0.93

02:16:26.620 I don't mean the Chinese people.

02:16:28.920 When I, you know, refer to any country, I'm not referring to the people.

02:16:33.220 I'm referring to the governments. Right.

02:16:35.180 So the Chinese government is heavily invested in the IRGC. So even though they haven't explicitly announced direct financial investments in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, the reality is that pretty much every single business or entity or major corporation inside of the Islamic regime

02:17:02.840 is affiliated with or controlled by the IRGC or their family members in one way or another,

02:17:12.120 right? So the fact that China is so heavily invested in the IRGC, because again, remember,

02:17:23.820 there's no free economy in Iran. It's an Islamic dictatorship. Everything is controlled by the 0.91

02:17:31.260 mullahs, by the IRGC, by their friends, family members, children, whatever, right? So even in 0.92

02:17:40.260 2021, China signed a 25-year $400 billion strategic partnership with Iran involving

02:17:50.040 investments in energy, infrastructure, and security cooperation. Now, guys, keep in mind,

02:17:57.820 Again, all of the energy infrastructure, like energy infrastructure and security is all controlled by the IRGC, by the Islamic regime. 0.70

02:18:09.060 So one of the reasons that the Islamic regime has been able to monitor and identify Iranian freedom fighters and protesters is because of the AI technology that China has provided to the Islamic regime so that they can monitor their own people. 0.83

02:18:33.820 My understanding is that even the intranet that the Islamic regime has currently created, 0.72

02:18:39.980 so remember, the internet has been cut off for, I think, 75 days today. 0.94

02:18:45.440 So it's been 75 days that the internet has been completely shut off. 0.93

02:18:49.900 Instead, the Islamic regime has created this intranet to be used internally. 0.98

02:18:56.480 That has been developed by China. 0.59

02:18:58.900 And that intranet basically gives the Islamic regime full and complete access to, you know, the data and, you know, info of anyone who's accessing it or using it. Right.

02:19:14.520 So if you've read George Orwell's 1984 dystopian novel, 1984, that's basically what living in occupied Iran is like.

02:19:27.440 Sean Hannity back on. What's he speaking about? All right.

02:19:31.420 We are in Beijing. We're in China. And you are looking live at the Great Hall of the People.

02:19:37.520 This is where President Donald Trump will be meeting President Xi for an arrival ceremony that is coming up very shortly.

02:19:43.860 We will take you there live as it happens. But first, here is part two of my exclusive interview

02:19:49.180 with Secretary of State Marco Rubio aboard Air Force One en route to China.

02:19:55.280 So Vladimir Putin recently said, and I thought this was interesting, that the war with Ukraine

02:20:00.460 may be coming to an end. One of the things, I always talk a lot about the next generation of

02:20:06.920 weaponry. I think we see that on display in our conflict with Iran that we've had. I mean, 0.98

02:20:12.180 Midnight Hammer, Epic, Fury are two examples. 1.00

02:20:15.840 What the Israelis have done, more examples.

02:20:18.520 But what's interesting, Ukraine has really impressed me.

02:20:21.980 They seem to be creating the next generation of drone every four to ten days.

02:20:27.040 And between drones and robots, who would have thought four and a half years ago

02:20:30.400 they would still be in this fight?

02:20:32.240 I didn't expect that.

02:20:33.800 Well, there's no doubt that the necessity of fighting this war

02:20:36.640 has caused the Ukrainians to develop new tactics, new techniques,

02:20:42.180 new equipment, new technology that is creating a sort of hybrid asymmetrical warfare,

02:20:47.700 that's impressive, no doubt about it. I mean, if you look at the Russians are losing five times as

02:20:53.200 many soldiers a month as the Ukrainians are. And the Ukraine is a smaller country and a smaller

02:20:57.780 army for that matter. Although the Ukrainian armed forces are the strongest, most powerful armed

02:21:02.520 forces in all of Europe, just to be clear right now, obviously because a lot of the assistance

02:21:06.620 they've gotten, but also because of the battlefield experience that they've gained.

02:21:09.960 As far as the broader conflict, the president just wants to see the war, and he thinks it's a crazy war.

02:21:14.980 And he's right.

02:21:15.860 I mean, you have people dying in massive numbers on both sides.

02:21:18.920 Ukraine is going to spend two decades rebuilding.

02:21:22.080 The damage to the Russian economy is extraordinary.

02:21:24.520 The Russians are losing 15,000 to 20,000 soldiers a month dead, not injured, dead.

02:21:29.920 It's a bad war.

02:21:31.180 And we stand prepared.

02:21:32.640 The president stands prepared.

02:21:33.720 His team stands prepared to facilitate a diplomatic end to the war.

02:21:40.420 Unfortunately, we've lost some momentum over the last few months for a variety of reasons.

02:21:44.800 The Ukrainians feel increasingly confident about their battlefield position.

02:21:48.140 They got through the winter.

02:21:50.480 The Russians feel a little bit optimistic because the price of oil is up.

02:21:53.840 But hopefully, we've lost some momentum over the last few months for a variety of reasons.

02:21:59.140 The Ukrainians feel increasingly confident about their battlefield position.

02:22:02.480 They got through the winter.

02:22:03.780 The Russians feel a little bit optimistic because the price of oil is up.

02:22:06.820 But hopefully, you know, whether it's Vladimir Putin's statement or anything else, hopefully we'll reach a point here soon where both parties re-engage and we're prepared to play the role to mediate and to bring that to a conclusion.

02:22:20.200 I think we're the only country in the world that can.

02:22:22.260 If somebody else wants to try, they should do it.

02:22:24.160 But both sides keep telling us we're the only ones that can.

02:22:26.720 In the end, the president wants to see the war end.

02:22:29.140 And if there's something he can do and we can do to help it end, we're going to do it.

02:22:32.860 so you had an opportunity recently to meet with pope leo from chicago yeah an american

02:22:39.520 um the only thing that surprised me about his conflict and i i went to catholic schools for

02:22:46.480 12 years i studied latin i studied theology etc and when he said god doesn't support any conflict

02:22:54.160 am i the god of the old testament same as the god of the new testament

02:22:58.520 I could start with, you know, David and Goliath. I'm not sure if I agreed with that and I got

02:23:04.420 killed, you know, in the media. How dare I challenge the Pope? But how did the meeting

02:23:10.620 go? Take us inside. It was a positive meeting. Look, I think I always start with the premise that

02:23:14.560 the papacy and the Pope is not a political office. It's covered by political reporters

02:23:20.360 as a political office, but it's not. It is the, you know, it's the vicar of Christ. For those of

02:23:25.940 us who are Roman Catholic. It's the belief that he is the successor of Peter on earth. And so

02:23:31.620 now, in that realm, you're going to make statements about social policy and even global

02:23:38.480 policies that are going to touch on politics. And consistently, the church has said that they want

02:23:44.060 to promote peace, that they prefer to avoid wars. They don't like wars. And that's been a position

02:23:48.840 for a long time. Obviously, our perspective is different in that regard. I agree. We wouldn't

02:23:53.220 want wars either. I don't think we're in favor of war, but for a nation state, which is different

02:24:00.020 from a religious office, for a nation state, there are threats to your security and to the

02:24:05.680 well-being of your people that have to be addressed, ideally through a diplomatic means.

02:24:10.900 But there are conflicts and there are issues in the world that cannot be solved diplomatically,

02:24:14.680 no matter how hard you try. There's been over a decade of work done to try to diplomatically solve

02:24:20.200 Iran's desire and ambition to have a nuclear weapons program. We haven't gotten any results. 0.93

02:24:25.940 What was the diplomatic solution for an Adolf Hitler as an example? There probably, there was 0.94

02:24:30.780 none, right? And unfortunately led to a war. So that's where I think the realm of the geopolitical

02:24:37.460 is different. We are obviously guided by our faith and we're instructed by our faith.

02:24:44.820 That's the compass by which we live our lives. We also have an obligation to the national security

02:24:49.240 of our country. And that has to be taken into account. That's our primary job is to keep

02:24:53.260 Americans safe. And that's why we're involved in Iran. That's why we're involved in anything

02:24:57.480 we do around the world. What about the Pope? Was he receptive to your comments and what you were

02:25:03.100 saying? Well, I found him very, you know, it's very unique because traditionally you're meeting

02:25:06.760 with a Pope and, you know, he's going to have an accent or he's going to have an interpreter.

02:25:10.360 This is an American Pope. I mean, we spoke, we spoke for over an hour. We talked about a lot

02:25:14.480 of topics, by the way. Like Chicago baseball. I think he likes the White Sox. He does. And

02:25:19.060 But this is a pope, by the way, that understands the United States very well.

02:25:23.120 Obviously, he follows our news very carefully.

02:25:25.260 He's quite aware of current events in our country.

02:25:27.660 But also, we had a lot of other things to talk about.

02:25:29.660 He's concerned about religious freedom.

02:25:31.500 You know, he just came back from Africa, where the church is growing very fast.

02:25:34.480 But ISIS and other terrorist elements are threatening Christians in Africa.

02:25:39.180 I think he's concerned about events in Latin America.

02:25:41.960 He had just had a visit from the bishops of Venezuela.

02:25:45.840 So he wanted to inquire as to how I thought that was going.

02:25:49.060 um we've actually worked with the church in cuba we we after the hurricane we distributed or have

02:25:56.460 tried to distribute over six million dollars of humanitarian aid via the catholic church we've

02:26:01.280 offered to do more we've offered to distribute a hundred million dollars of humanitarian aid

02:26:05.960 to the cuban people through the church and the regime has denied it the the cuban regime so

02:26:11.880 there was a lot we covered and they're starving i don't know i think just to be secretary of state

02:26:16.560 That's a pretty cool jacket they gave me.

02:26:18.180 Yeah, it was a gift that somebody gave me, and it's good to wear it on the plate.

02:26:22.720 Look, you were a senator for all these years.

02:26:24.760 I've known you for so many years.

02:26:26.480 We've had a friendship for so many years.

02:26:29.380 How do you compare this job to everything else you've done?

02:26:31.900 Well, it's quite different, right?

02:26:33.240 The work of a legislator involves constituent service, and it involves writing of legislation, committee meetings, oversight.

02:26:40.900 And I enjoyed doing all of that, and it was an important era in our life.

02:26:44.220 This was a very different opportunity.

02:26:45.480 This isn't the executive branch here. You're actually executing on laws and you're you're basically you're executing the president's foreign policy.

02:26:53.720 So I enjoy the role. I enjoy the job and I enjoy working for this president because he's willing to do what others talk about but don't do.

02:27:01.980 You know, when you say, well, we can't do that. And you'll say, why? That's his question. Why? Why can't we do that?

02:27:07.580 Why hasn't this been done before? He is willing to do what others are not willing to do.

02:27:12.140 He is willing to solve unfinished business and not leave it for the next guy or gal.

02:27:16.660 And I admire that, and it's a lot of fun to be a part of it.

02:27:19.560 You know what's frustrated me is there are some that interpret the Trump doctrine, as I call it, as isolationism.

02:27:26.360 Well, he took out the ISIS caliphate, took out Soleimani and Baghdadi, dropped the mother-of-all bombs on Afghanistan, Midnight Hammer, and he will wrap up Epic Fury.

02:27:36.800 And he did make the raid on Maduro.

02:27:39.240 But I see three lessons he's learned in history, and this is the last, last question.

02:27:45.640 And I see that he saw that over 100 million souls died in the last century.

02:27:50.320 So if you can take out or neutralize a threat ahead of time, it's smart.

02:27:55.840 I also think he learned from Reagan peace through strength.

02:27:58.420 He built up the military in his first term.

02:28:00.660 And I love the idea that he doesn't want to be an occupational force and doesn't want forever wars.

02:28:05.980 I do and I would just add one more element to it

02:28:09.560 America is going to be engaged in the world

02:28:11.120 This is not about turning inward

02:28:12.440 But we are going to engage in the world based on what's good for America

02:28:16.240 What's in the national interest of the United States

02:28:18.300 Does what we're doing make the country safer

02:28:20.460 More secure, more prosperous

02:28:22.940 If it does, it's in our national interest

02:28:25.940 If it doesn't, it might be a nice thing to do

02:28:27.940 But it won't be as high up on the priority list

02:28:29.780 So that's where I think you see him engaging in the world

02:28:32.320 He doesn't engage in every conflict and in every topic

02:28:34.940 I mean, we have an opinion. We may try to do something in the margins, but he gets engaged and spends his time focused on things around the world that directly impact the security and the prosperity of the American people.

02:28:48.140 If there's some place in the world where Americans' business can prosper and therefore help our economy, the president's engaged.

02:28:54.700 If it's trade to benefit our factories, our workers, the president's engaged.

02:28:59.080 If it's a threat to our national security, whether it's now or something that looms three years down the road,

02:29:05.080 the president's not going to leave it as unfinished business. He engages.

02:29:08.100 I'm worried about NATO. I felt that they didn't have the moral clarity on the number one state sponsor of terror.

02:29:14.900 That's troubling to me.

02:29:16.120 Yeah, the problem with NATO, and I've been a supporter of NATO throughout my career in the Senate.

02:29:20.320 And one of the reasons why I supported NATO was because it gave us basing rights.

02:29:24.700 It allows us to have bases in Europe that we could use in a contingency like something in the Middle East,

02:29:30.580 you know, where you could have planes flying from some country in Europe

02:29:33.100 and actually protecting our national interests in the Middle East, as an example, or in Africa.

02:29:38.260 And so when you have NATO partners denying you the use of those bases,

02:29:42.700 when the primary reason why NATO is good for America is now being denied to us by Spain, as an example,

02:29:48.760 then what's the purpose of the alliance?

02:29:50.420 It starts becoming, you know, their allies when they want to be kind of tiger.

02:29:56.500 And look, to be fair, there are countries in NATO that were very helpful to us.

02:29:59.460 I just singling one out, Portugal.

02:30:01.360 They said yes before we even asked, told them what the question was.

02:30:04.600 Poland.

02:30:05.080 Poland.

02:30:06.000 So there are countries in Romania, Bulgaria.

02:30:08.800 Others like Spain have been atrocious, just horrifying.

02:30:11.320 So I do think there's some very legitimate questions to ask about NATO.

02:30:14.320 And that is, what is the purpose of being an alliance whose benefit to us is these basing rights?

02:30:19.800 if in a time of conflict, like the one we've had with Iran, they can deny us the use of those bases.

02:30:25.700 So why are we there for? Only to protect them, but not to further our national interests?

02:30:29.460 This is a very legitimate question that we need to address.

02:30:32.680 I didn't pay two thirds of the bill. Mr. Secretary, great to see you. Thank you so much.

02:30:36.640 That was a great interview.

02:30:38.180 And coming up, President Trump, he is now slated to leave his hotel at any moment

02:30:42.520 to meet with President Xi for the high stakes summit. As we continue our coverage from Beijing,

02:30:48.440 we're in china when we come back to democratic senator john fetterman he will join us victor

02:30:53.400 davis hansen josh hawley much more and senator lindsey graham straight ahead oh wow guys this

02:31:00.120 is this is like a jam-packed show this is a jam-packed show wow okay um all right i'll just

02:31:07.480 go to this screen really quickly let me go to some of your super chats and then we'll continue

02:31:12.040 So Aaron Berger says the New York Times has no credibility left after the hit piece op-ed they just printed accusing Israel of systemic sexual violence one day before the big report came out about the fact-based investigation into Hamas's crimes.

02:31:33.380 Yes, 100%. We Iranians, we also do not view the New York Times as a legitimate news media outlet

02:31:43.700 because they have been pro-Islamic regime and anti-freedom for a very long time.

02:31:50.900 So yeah, the New York Times, pretty much fake news, especially their op-ed.

02:31:55.500 Um, wait, is it, is it Farnaz Fasihi? Yeah, so actually one of the sort of main, um, one of the main, uh, you know, authors and, you know, op-ed publishers of the New York Times is Farnaz Fasihi, uh, this person here.

02:32:18.880 and she has known connections to the islamic regime and she has always been sort of a voice

02:32:28.180 for the islamic regime within the new york times so guys like the the irgc has been infiltrating

02:32:36.360 american media for a very long time and she's one of those like top level people and uh yeah

02:32:45.640 she's been there since 2019 um she's pretty much infiltrated it so every single time you

02:32:52.940 you know read like a hit piece about um like the iranian revolution or kings of halavi

02:32:59.900 um or you know some anti-israel pro-hamas propaganda um it's you know usually comes

02:33:07.480 from her because she is um one of the mouthpieces of the islamic regime in the united states

02:33:15.400 and uh yeah guys keep an eye on her she is one of the bad ones so new york times has a lot of 0.99

02:33:23.420 problematic uh you know authors and opinion you know off-ed people she's one of them keep an eye

02:33:31.720 out on her um let's go to the next super chat um so big text says thank you linus sister freedom

02:33:41.900 y'all make your healing slash therapy fun and digestible. I'm so sorry. You're making a

02:33:48.080 difference to the masses. We love y'all. Keep going. Thank you. I appreciate that. Thank you

02:33:52.180 for the support. Thank you for being here. I hope you're enjoying this evening's live stream.

02:33:57.840 Umid gifted a membership. Thank you. Um, the major love the black pill taco weirdo. So guys,

02:34:06.140 for those who don't know, um, taco stands for Trump always chickens out. So the major is calling

02:34:12.560 out all those people who claim that president Trump always chickens out. Um, so all those weird

02:34:19.080 weirdos squeal about forever wars, not realizing that as the model of the deep state from Bush one

02:34:27.600 to Biden, Trump is different, but they haven't grasped that yet. You're, you know what? You're

02:34:32.140 100% correct. I mean, people complain about these forever wars, and yet it was the Islamic regime 0.88

02:34:39.300 with the help of the Soviets that created the forever war in 1979, when they, you know, took 0.91

02:34:49.760 over and occupied our country of Iran, and, you know, started their jihad against the United 0.86

02:34:58.440 States. And then, you know, they took Americans hostage for 444 days, which is insane because it 0.85

02:35:05.360 was it was Jimmy Carter and the Democrats who actually helped the Islamic regime and the 0.72

02:35:13.380 communists come to power. Right. So you would think there would be some sort of element of

02:35:18.300 gratitude there. Nope. As soon as Jimmy Carter. OK, we're back to Hannity. We are in Beijing,

02:35:25.960 China, and you are looking live at the Great Hall of People, where a short while from right now,

02:35:32.120 President Trump will be meeting with the Chinese president, President Xi. At this hour, we are

02:35:37.080 witnessing history in the making. But seemingly, only one Democrat is cheering for the president

02:35:43.000 to succeed on the world stage, and he does it consistently. And that is Democratic Senator

02:35:48.180 John Fetterman of Pennsylvania. He joins us right now. Senator, all across the board, be it Iran,

02:35:54.480 this summit that is taking place here uh iran you have stood as like the only voice in the

02:36:03.020 democratic party uh elected official that has stood with the president i know you've taken a

02:36:09.300 lot of heat for why is this why are these issues so important to you well because i'm always going

02:36:15.800 to stand stand with israel and the jewish community and i would like to remind everybody

02:36:20.880 that Israel is our special ally, and America is always the force of good, you know, in that

02:36:28.600 region, but also in the world now, too. And now why I'm the only Democrat that voted for that,

02:36:34.780 because all the other Democrats, we've all said in the past, we can't let Iran build a nuclear bomb. 0.81

02:36:40.800 And now when someone did something about that to really prevent that, you know, why wouldn't I 0.71

02:36:45.440 support that so i'm proud to have that vote and and also something that the president said before

02:36:51.440 he left for china i mean he said something i got clicked saying i'm not thinking about american

02:36:58.000 people financially but what he really was saying he did say is like you know i'm really thinking

02:37:02.800 that we can't ever let iran building a building a bomb and i mean that's exactly that's the essence

02:37:08.720 of what that is and to hold that line i mean how could we just walk away and not let you know let

02:37:14.960 that happen and now the whole world should join us stand with us china you know europe all these

02:37:21.280 other countries should say we should demand iran and their nuclear ambitions and now we can all

02:37:28.160 get back to building up uh all of our nation and parts of the world so that's here we are 0.99

02:37:34.880 people you know people in my party have forgotten that the iranians actually the really bad guy

02:37:40.880 why are there why why did why are they involved because what iran has been doing for for almost 0.65

02:37:46.480 five decades you know they're the ones that organized 10-7 they're the ones that created 0.57

02:37:51.920 hezbollah hamas and houthis now so that's why i'm proud to stand you know through this entire thing

02:38:00.560 senator you know between tariffs and trade and intellectual property theft in taiwan

02:38:05.360 and fentanyl and rare earths. I'm sure a huge agenda item for the president is going to be the

02:38:12.320 reports that China has been helping Iran, even though it was one of their tankers that got hit

02:38:17.180 in the Strait of Hormuz. That has got to be dealt with if, in fact, the Chinese. Now,

02:38:22.780 I understand Asia, the price of oil has gone up about 70 percent. My understanding is they get 0.96

02:38:28.360 about 90 percent of their oil that comes through the Strait of Hormuz. So I understand the importance

02:38:33.860 to them. However, helping the Iranians and having this unholy alliance, not good for the world, 1.00

02:38:40.020 not good for the U.S. Absolutely. China has to feel the pain. And I hope they feel the pain 1.00

02:38:47.840 for that. Then they can hold Iran accountable. They absolutely should. And that's why. And I do 0.99

02:38:54.320 think the president will hold them accountable to get them involved for this. So here we are right

02:39:00.240 now on you know in the democratic party you know you know something that's so important that's going

02:39:04.600 to transform our world ai you know people in my party now becoming anti-ai and data set data

02:39:11.240 centers now people in my party are calling for a moratorium you know in our country that's lunacy 0.77

02:39:16.800 that's that's china china first kind of a policy in our nation i'll be the one democrat to just 0.99

02:39:22.860 stand up and say that's that's ridiculous you know we have to be the people that build the chassis

02:39:28.660 of AI. Now, that's why I'm proud to say, look, you know, I think it's a country,

02:39:34.740 definitely country over party, even something like transfer formative, like AI and data centers

02:39:40.860 here in my party. Yeah. By the way, let me update everybody. President Trump has left a hotel. He's

02:39:47.900 now en route to the Great Hall for his first meeting with President Xi. It's supposed to be

02:39:56.200 for an extended period of time,

02:39:59.600 and we'll go to the Great Hall of the people

02:40:03.700 where our very own, well, Senator, by the way, thank you.

02:40:06.200 We're gonna check in with Peter Ducey.

02:40:07.580 He is at the Great Hall right now of the people.

02:40:10.780 Peter, what's going on there?

02:40:14.320 Sean, the scale of the welcome ceremony

02:40:16.720 that we're about to see that President Trump's motorcade

02:40:18.860 is on its way to right now is massive.

02:40:20.860 You can see behind us,

02:40:22.200 we'll do as much of a walk and talk as we can do

02:40:24.260 on a pretty tight riser. You can see back here in the far background, the entrance to

02:40:30.240 Tiananmen Square. And then we've got two different large groups of ceremonial Chinese military.

02:40:37.160 And when you come over here, they've got the flowers that have just been laid, freshly

02:40:42.280 laid, and then this massive hall of the people. This is the great hall that they decided decades

02:40:50.040 go would be used not every day but for special occasions like this one uh it is absolutely

02:40:56.440 massive on the inside they and they're paying very close attention to detail they had a person

02:41:03.720 about every 50 feet with a tiny little uh like a lint roller just making sure that everything is

02:41:11.240 perfect for the president's arrival and we are also going to see a huge group of children are

02:41:17.080 going to come out they were just practicing and they just went back in um greeting president trump

02:41:21.960 and president xi with us and chinese flags so uh that's all that we know we haven't been briefed

02:41:28.760 about the rest of it but obviously uh this is going to be the first moment that these two guys

02:41:33.240 see each other uh yesterday president trump was greeted by the vice president at the airport this

02:41:38.280 is going to be the big ceremonial greeting kind of like what we did for prince charles at the white

02:41:42.920 House a couple weeks ago on the South Lawn. And it's really going to set the tone for this very

02:41:48.920 important meeting. You know, President Trump spent the first part of his term talking about how China

02:41:54.140 ripped the U.S. off for decades. It sounds like he's got a much better relationship with President

02:42:00.440 Xi right now. But there's this Washington Post report a couple hours ago. Maybe the Chinese are

02:42:06.340 doing some things behind our back on the world stage, trying to undermine the U.S. effort in 0.75

02:42:10.460 iran um all things to talk about so the to-do list gets longer as the president's motorcade uh

02:42:18.620 nears the front entrance the white house just went live as well because i guess he likes to

02:42:30.140 do big things this to him is a big thing meeting with you know north korea twice during his first

02:42:36.380 term um vladimir putin the summit that he had with him uh all of this is at a very critical

02:42:43.500 time for the world especially with the issues going on okay so guys the the white house just

02:42:48.940 went live they haven't started broadcasting yet but uh the white house is going to broadcast

02:42:55.260 president trump participates in a greeting with the president of the people's republic of china

02:43:01.100 So when the White House broadcast begins, I will switch over to the White House broadcast.

02:43:08.500 He knows that, and I hope he'll drive a very hard bargain,

02:43:11.400 whether it comes to protecting our technology, protecting our farmland in the United States.

02:43:15.440 We don't need China buying up any more of that and making it clear that the United States is the strongest power in the world.

02:43:21.440 We're going to remain that way. We're going to protect our jobs, protect our industry.

02:43:24.980 I think that's the message President Trump will deliver.

02:43:27.720 You know, we were talking earlier, tariffs, trade, intellectual property theft, Taiwan,

02:43:34.640 fentanyl, rare earths, all of this. Then the big issue of maybe the elephant in the room

02:43:40.140 is these reports that the Chinese have been helping Iran in terms of intelligence

02:43:45.640 and in other ways. I do understand Asia has a problem. China has a problem. 0.80

02:43:50.720 Most of their oil does come through the Strait of Hormuz. There's been a 70 percent price spike

02:43:56.080 in all of Asia. However, helping out the number one state sponsor of terror. I'm sure that's a top 0.97

02:44:02.760 agenda item. Yeah, wrong way to go on China's part. They should be reading their interests 0.98

02:44:08.120 the other way. They ought to say today to President Trump that they, China, will open up

02:44:12.180 the straight guarantee. It gets opened up because nobody has more leverage with Iran than they do. 0.83

02:44:16.960 The Chinese, I mean, they're coming out. So I hope the president, you know, he had this right a few 1.00

02:44:21.720 weeks ago, Sean, when he said China's really the one who suffers most from what's going on in the 0.94

02:44:26.540 straight. China's interests are most dearly and nearly implicated there. I hope the president

02:44:31.400 will drive that message home. And you know what? If China wants to show some goodwill to the United

02:44:35.260 States, they ought to say they'll go to the Iranians and get them to reopen the straight 0.99

02:44:39.600 right now. That would be a great tangible sign of goodwill. Stop feeding them information. Stop

02:44:45.360 undermining our interests. Get that straight opened up. I kind of feel like I should have

02:44:50.060 like ordered some chinese food or something like now i'm kind of craving like i don't know egg rolls

02:44:55.020 there's some movement that means the president's motorcade he left the hotel he's expected to

02:45:00.160 arrive at the great hall any moment now uh how would you define success here for you know i have

02:45:05.960 instant noodles i could like make some instant noodles like ramen or something you know like

02:45:11.800 like mr noodle like i have i literally have instant noodles for emergencies as we are in

02:45:17.460 the pole position we're in the strong position because no i'm craving chinese food now i love

02:45:22.880 chinese food to hold the line stay strong make china come to us you know china's begging i really

02:45:30.120 want to come here to beijing begging him to come and and to have this dialogue that's a good sign

02:45:36.220 and i think he's got to stay strong i think he'll do it all right senator joshua holly

02:45:42.820 of Missouri. Oh, come on. He's got to stay strong. I think he'll do it.

02:45:51.860 All right. Senator Josh Hawley of Missouri. All right. What you're looking at the president

02:45:56.300 arriving any moment now. You can see a lot of activities, a lot of young children now

02:45:59.740 coming down those stairs. Those are Americans. Is that Marco Rubio? It looks like the delegation

02:46:04.760 from China now making its way. That's Marco Rubio. The president's arrival is coming up

02:46:09.420 momentarily is live for you uh well into the next hour uh i welcome my friend my colleague

02:46:16.360 bill hemmer is here on set with me obviously with everything coming out i would say the moment is

02:46:23.220 here good morning to you sean and good evening to our viewers back home in the u.s the ambassador

02:46:29.440 david purdue who we had on a program uh earlier in the week uh he's been on his post exactly one

02:46:34.720 here as of today. And he says he's very impressed with the nose that President Trump has for

02:46:41.380 understanding the issues between the U.S. and China. So we'll see how that goes.

02:46:45.440 Marco Rubio, terrific interview on board Air Force One. Scott Besson has done a ton of work

02:46:49.700 pre-summit here. And with regard to Scott Besson, the Treasury Secretary, I would say this.

02:46:55.520 In 2017, when the president came here nine years ago, they had a huge trade deal that was announced.

02:47:01.480 it was $254 billion between the two countries. My guess is, nine years later, knowing President

02:47:11.320 Trump and the way he likes to supersize things, I can see, and I don't think you go out on a limb

02:47:20.860 here, that maybe you do that 2x on a trip like this, and maybe one of the major headlines by

02:47:26.020 Friday evening is that they've got a half a trillion dollar trade deal here in 2026.

02:47:30.700 So we're watching. And by the way, you're right. And I think I'll be interviewing Scott Besson coming up after I interview the president today.

02:47:36.480 But. So this is a bilateral meeting. This is a lot at stake, a lot of issues, tariffs, trade, intellectual property theft, Taiwan, what's happening in the Strait of Hormuz, that'll all be on the table.

02:47:49.420 fentanyl, rare earth minerals. You know, the one thing that really stands out in my mind,

02:47:55.260 and I want to get your thoughts on this, is that the president recognizes, and I brought this up 0.77

02:48:01.480 earlier, recognizes the idea that the Chinese are going to be, President Xi will be China first.

02:48:08.180 President Putin will be Russia first. Donald Trump will be America first. But he's always 0.62

02:48:12.880 looking for the transaction, the deal that benefits all countries involved. And I would

02:48:20.700 imagine that is how the president's going to approach this at the end of the day. You know,

02:48:25.120 yes, they'll deal with controversial issues. Sure, they're going to deal with the issue of

02:48:28.520 China helping Iran in any way militarily. But I think the bigger, broader issue for the president

02:48:36.320 is how will this help the American economy, American manufacturing, et cetera?

02:48:41.520 You know, Sean, it's a great point. As you see, Elon Musk taking his own pictures. I guess we'll see those on X very soon here, right? You know this great haul to people, by the way? It was built in about eight months' time in 1959. And it was built to commemorate the 10-year anniversary of the revolution of Mao Zedong.

02:48:59.920 Like, this is point A for the CCP, the Chinese Communist Party here in China.

02:49:08.160 This structure, you know a lot about real estate.

02:49:11.120 This structure is 1.9 million square feet.

02:49:15.100 Crazy.

02:49:15.680 Do you know how big that is?

02:49:16.840 Massive.

02:49:17.300 That's 35.

02:49:18.780 It's a little bigger than our homes combined.

02:49:20.440 A little bit, right, with room for the bathroom, right?

02:49:23.220 That's equivalent of 35 football feet.

02:49:28.360 Oh, come on.

02:49:29.920 that's equivalent of 35 football fields, and that's how large this is. And this is where

02:49:37.040 President Xi does his work, and this is where the president, you see these giant columns,

02:49:42.820 they've been written up in some of the historical work inside. You've got this room, Sean, where you

02:49:48.600 can sit 10,000 people, and there's not a single column in that room. Think about this, like the

02:49:52.920 stone and the marble they used to build this in 1959, extraordinary stuff here. We built the

02:49:57.540 Empire State Building in 13 months. They did this in eight months, and they're very proud of it.

02:50:01.220 By the way, if President Trump had it his way, he'd build that grand ballroom in probably a

02:50:06.380 shorter period of time. He might get some ideas on this visit. You're right about that.

02:50:11.680 But in 2017, I mentioned the trip here in November of that year. This was the same location where

02:50:19.520 they had a lot of school kids who came out, made a wonderful show of it, flags from both countries

02:50:25.100 that we'll see again momentarily. And also, you're going to see a military show of force

02:50:29.860 here on behalf of the Chinese government as well. You look at it, we discuss it, and I

02:50:35.200 always refer to China as America's top geopolitical foe. I have no doubt the president sees it 0.78

02:50:41.000 that way. However, he will always add the caveat, but I have a great relationship with

02:50:46.340 President Xi. I have a great relationship. Okay, so I have to add some commentary so

02:50:51.620 don't get copyright striked but this is kind of cool like you know we were speaking about iran

02:50:57.780 and i mean this is sort of related to that i actually wasn't uh planning on doing like this

02:51:04.900 this like chinese watch party but i'm kind of happy with this like this is kind of cool

02:51:10.580 it's it's giving me um like um beijing olympics opening ceremony vibes so i mean i have to say

02:51:20.740 Like, you know, even though, you know, there's human rights, a lot of human rights violations in China, but the Beijing opening ceremony for the Olympics, it's like one of the top ones, right?

02:51:34.220 It was one of the best ones.

02:51:36.080 So big time in a significant way.

02:51:39.440 And they crack down and have continued to.

02:51:42.660 And there'll be a case that comes up here, Sean, with a gentleman by the name of Jimmy Lai.

02:51:47.660 He's 78 years old, he's in jail in Hong Kong for at least 20 years.

02:51:52.200 That issue will come up.

02:51:53.260 Yeah, he was printing a newspaper, pushing for democratic reforms.

02:51:57.020 He was told to stop.

02:51:58.020 He did not.

02:51:59.180 And President Xi...

02:52:00.220 Oh, here's the thing.

02:52:01.940 President Trump says he will bring up Jimmy Lai's situation while he's here in China.

02:52:06.820 And we'll have his son...

02:52:07.820 Oh, okay, here we go, here we go.

02:52:09.580 White House president.

02:52:10.680 We're going to the White House.

02:52:17.660 Thank you.

02:52:47.660 i think it's too late for me to order egg rolls it's like 10 p.m the egg rolls won't even get

02:53:16.780 here until like half an hour from now but thank you let's leave it for next time

02:53:30.620 oh man wait

02:53:46.780 there's two different views there's like the fox news view

02:53:57.740 and then there's the white house view so so this is this is the fox news view

02:54:03.660 and then this is the white house view which one do you guys prefer fox news or white house

02:54:10.620 fox news white house

02:54:19.260 or should i just kind of go back and forth with like whichever one is more interesting

02:54:22.860 because i have both up on on my screen right now okay so i'll okay okay let's go to white

02:54:29.340 house now okay i'll go back and forth as the view changes because fox news is also buffering

02:54:40.620 okay so this is fox news now because white house it's just showing the camera people like the

02:54:52.000 reporters i think i think fox news is like a little bit behind though

02:54:58.060 okay

02:55:10.620 Thank you.

02:55:40.620 Thank you.

02:56:10.620 Thank you.

02:56:40.620 Thank you.

02:57:10.620 He shook Marco Rubio's hand, that was interesting.

02:57:40.620 Well, President Trump is standing right behind him, so obviously he's going to shake his hand.

02:57:56.020 It's so funny.

02:57:57.440 Here's the replay.

02:58:00.360 Here's the replay of him shaking Marco Rubio's hand.

02:58:07.100 So that's kind of cool.

02:58:08.100 fox news is a little bit behind so we can kind of go back and forth all right

02:58:38.100 Wow.

02:59:08.100 Thank you.

02:59:38.100 Thank you.

03:00:08.100 Thank you.

03:00:38.100 I can't help you think you can make your dance.

03:01:08.100 左抖閣下共國人民解放軍一戰隊列隊完畢請您檢閱

03:01:38.100 Thank you.

03:02:08.100 Thank you.

03:02:38.100 Oh, this is so sage.

03:03:01.740 This is like super communist propaganda.

03:03:04.740 He probably told his children, like if you don't clap and hear and look happy, like your parents will be murdered or something.

03:03:18.740 Like they're probably, they were like, do it like extra.

03:03:25.740 That is, that is so, that is so crazy.

03:03:34.740 Do it.

03:03:45.940 Thank you.

03:04:04.740 Thank you.

03:04:34.740 Thank you.

03:05:04.740 .

03:05:34.740 sorry I just noticed I noticed that too like I noticed like the like Pete Hegseth Pete is like

03:05:47.580 right at the corner and he's ready to just like throw some punches at like the communists like

03:05:54.200 I have a feeling President Trump took Pete Hegseth specifically because you know he's in like

03:06:00.080 the heart of like communist territory right

03:06:02.540 you

03:06:32.540 Thank you.

03:07:02.540 i mean to be fair their their coordination is excellent way better than jihadi pilates

03:07:17.960 right you got to give that to them like their coordination is spot on

03:07:32.540 .

03:08:02.540 Thank you.

03:08:32.540 Thank you.

03:09:02.540 Thank you.

03:09:32.540 Thank you.

03:10:02.540 I just want to say, I really hope that China is next when it comes to freedom.

03:10:10.040 I know so many people, so many Chinese people who are supporting us Iranians.

03:10:16.300 And, you know, we support them as well.

03:10:20.760 Does he speak English?

03:10:25.200 President Trump's just looking at him as just like, I don't understand a word you're saying.

03:10:32.540 i have to say you know what it's kind of cool how president trump here he just looks like he owns

03:10:40.580 the place like he literally looks like he's just walked into the viper's den and he's like yeah i'm

03:10:46.240 not that impressed like he just you know he looks like he owns the place it's kind of cool

03:10:50.440 oh that's the interpreter baby

03:10:53.380 We'll be right back.

03:11:23.380 that's it

03:11:40.600 let's go to fox

03:11:44.260 there has to be more

03:11:53.380 Yeah, we used to be in North Korea, too.

03:12:14.440 Is that it?

03:12:18.920 What about, like, the stitches?

03:12:21.020 Are there also, like, these stitches or something?

03:12:23.380 wow wow uh i mean you look you talk about i'm with bill hammer by the way we were in beijing

03:12:46.500 and you're watching you know all the pomp and circumstance i mean they pulled out all of the

03:12:52.260 stops here uh what pageantry yeah what um very well produced well i mean this was choreographed

03:13:01.380 to the second uh bill and i were talking earlier when you walk anywhere you go in china wherever

03:13:08.420 there's anybody associated with law enforcement in any way or even staff at a hotel they stand

03:13:14.740 at like full stiff attention at all times um i think the kids stole the show that was my favorite

03:13:20.900 Yeah, you know, I was thinking when you have these summits, Sean, when they're over, you look back and you have moments.

03:13:27.000 And I think we just saw one of those, obviously, with the handshake and the two of them listening to the respective national anthems.

03:13:33.080 But seeing the children jump up and down, there was clear and take there.

03:13:36.800 They wanted to create a moment for the TV.

03:13:38.720 Oh, they created a moment, for sure.

03:13:41.480 You see both delegations, you saw.

03:13:43.500 The moment was that the Communist Party told the children, if you don't jump up and look happy and joyous and healthy, then your parents will be executed.

03:13:53.840 That was the moment. That's how these things operate in communist countries.

03:13:59.640 You know, when you think of the pageantry that we all just witnessed, think of the opposite of that.

03:14:07.320 What is the opposite? That we're at each other's throat.

03:14:09.600 and and i think this has always been the wisdom behind president trump president chi and i have

03:14:15.320 a great relationship even though obviously we have differences there are top geopolitical foe

03:14:21.300 right um there was something you were telling me while we were watching this i did not know i did

03:14:26.540 not know you were here 30 years ago and you were describing what a difference yeah i was a much

03:14:31.860 younger yeah so here's the thing like so for for people who are not familiar with how communist

03:14:36.480 countries or dictatorships operate that might have looked like a natural organic moment but for

03:14:42.480 those of us who come from those sorts of you know dictatorships yeah we we can see a staged event

03:14:49.360 like we can smell it a mile away and i think they both respect strength but the fact that they're

03:14:55.600 not we're not they're looking for avenues to work with each other a lot of it isn't in the economic

03:15:03.520 sector. Obviously, there's going to be conflicts with your top geopolitical foe. That will be

03:15:09.360 discussed too, but it's far better than what the alternative would be, and that is we're at each

03:15:15.140 other's throat. Right. You see this video now that we watched a few moments ago. You know what?

03:15:19.340 No, I mean, apparently people on CNN are like raving about how amazing that moment with the

03:15:24.820 children. He's been trying to make that point for years, and the Chinese government really

03:15:29.360 wanted this visit to happen. I would also argue that the White House and President Trump wanted

03:15:33.720 this visit to happen as well. Even when it was postponed the first time around, they still

03:15:38.380 insisted we'll get there, give us four or six weeks, but we'll make it happen. I think with

03:15:42.620 regard to that relationship I mentioned earlier, that this meeting is very important.

03:15:46.840 Oh yeah, no, I'm always, listen, I'm always happy to give, I'm always, always happy to give

03:15:51.340 commentary. Like that's the, you know, happy to do that. Yeah, absolutely. I have a feeling Sean

03:15:57.180 hannity probably can't say what he really wants to say because he's actually in china right like you 1.00

03:16:03.660 the only thing you can say right now is is positive things because you're literally in a

03:16:08.460 you know communist dictatorship country so if they're feeling or thinking anything they're 0.50

03:16:14.060 probably gonna have to wait until they're out of china before they can share their true thoughts

03:16:20.060 you would have only seen sean bicycles on that road and buses that were packed to the

03:16:27.100 the brim and just kicking

03:16:30.480 exhaust smoke out the back

03:16:33.040 that anymore. You see nice

03:16:37.280 see electric cars. The num

03:16:40.480 have been reduced signific

03:16:43.320 5050 mix electric vehicles

03:16:46.920 I think you're right about

03:16:48.780 your friend. I think the

03:16:51.760 in China will tell you that

03:16:55.760 Okay, look at this, guys.

03:17:03.640 Let's go.

03:18:42.300 Do you guys prefer the unedited feed or do you want the Fox News feed?

03:19:02.620 This is the unedited and then this is Fox News.

03:19:12.300 Oh, this is better if you can hear them.

03:19:32.300 So we're not getting an English translation.

03:19:34.300 As soon as we get those remarks interpreted,

03:19:36.300 I'll obviously relay that to the audience.

03:19:38.300 I will tell you a funny story.

03:19:40.300 story if you recall the president was meeting they're both with president chi this was in the

03:19:46.060 u.s and it was the night the president had made the order to hit syria so this is one version

03:22:22.620 can we in the interest of the well-being of our two peoples and the future of humanity

03:23:42.620 two countries and the world and working together with you to set the course for and steer the

03:23:51.180 giant ship of China-U.S. relations so as to make 2026 a historic landmark year that opens up a

03:24:01.760 new chapter in China-U.S. relations. I will pause here and hand over to you, Mr. President. Thank

03:24:11.540 you. Yeah, I just want to say I don't trust him. I don't trust him and he's lying. Don't

03:24:19.720 trust communists like they literally want to like destroy the united states well president

03:24:26.800 she i want to thank you very much first of all that was an honor like few have ever seen before

03:24:34.600 and i think i was particularly impressed by those children they were happy they were beautiful

03:24:41.440 the military is obvious it couldn't be better but those children were amazing and they represent so

03:24:48.400 much. And I know they represent so much to you. You and I have known each other now for a long

03:24:54.400 time. In fact, the longest relationship of our two countries that any president and president

03:25:00.700 has had. And that's to me an honor. We've had a fantastic relationship. We've gotten along.

03:25:08.220 When there were difficulties, we worked it out. I would call you and you would call me. And whenever

03:25:13.620 we had a problem people don't know whenever we had a problem we worked out very quickly

03:25:19.300 and we're going to have a fantastic future together such respect for china the job you've done

03:25:27.220 you're a great leader i say it to everybody you're a great leader sometimes people don't

03:25:31.460 like me saying it but i say it anyway because it's true i only say the truth and i just want

03:25:36.980 to say on behalf of all of the great delegation that we have we have the greatest businessmen

03:25:42.580 the biggest and i guess the best in the world we have amazing people and they're all with me they

03:25:48.340 every single one of them we asked the top 30 in the world every single one of them said yes

03:25:55.460 and i didn't want the second or the third in the company i wanted only the top and they're here

03:26:00.180 today to pay respects to you and to china and they look forward to trade and doing business and it's

03:26:07.700 going to be totally reciprocal on our behalf so i really look very much forward to our discussion

03:26:13.140 it's a big discussion there are those that say this is maybe the biggest summit ever

03:26:17.860 they can never remember anything like it it's i can say in the united states it's

03:26:22.660 people aren't talking about anything else but it's an honor to be with you it's an honor to

03:26:28.100 be your friend and the relationship between china and the usa is going to be better than ever before

03:26:34.500 Thank you very much. Thank you.

03:26:51.860 Particularly impressed by those children who were happy. They were beautiful.

03:26:56.660 The military is obvious it couldn't be better. Was that it?

03:27:00.020 They were amazing and they represent so much.

03:27:03.140 And I know they represent so much to you.

03:27:06.180 You and I have known each other.

03:27:07.600 That is.

03:27:08.300 Because now we're on to Senator Lindsey Graham.

03:27:10.640 The longest relationship of our two countries that any president.

03:27:14.680 That was it.

03:27:17.460 No, I think you got to do two things at once.

03:27:20.680 You try to build up the economic relationship.

03:27:23.800 Because over time that can change things.

03:27:25.980 When you do business with people, you tend to look at them differently over time.

03:27:30.020 But here's the problem. You named the allies of China. They're all dirtbags.

03:27:36.700 They're aligned with the worst people in the world. They're buying oil cheaply from Iran, 1.00

03:27:43.200 keeping their war machine going. Same thing with Russia. If China stopped buying Iranian oil or 0.59

03:27:49.960 threatened to do it, the war in Iran would be over. All I'm asking China to do is help us

03:27:56.440 open up the straight up our moves, help us stop Iran from getting a nuclear weapon, 0.99

03:28:01.800 because I think they would use it, help us end the bloodbath in Russia or Ukraine 0.99

03:28:06.340 that is hurting the world economy. If you help us, I will be very grateful. If you don't help us 0.60

03:28:14.340 and you continue to prop up these regimes, I will do business with you on Monday and put tariffs on

03:28:21.140 you on Tuesday. And the only thing China understands is what I just said. Xi is not a crazy man.

03:28:28.360 He's not irrational. If he believed President Trump would crush his economy, the Chinese economy,

03:28:34.220 for propping up Putin and Iran, I think he would change his behavior. You don't need to threaten

03:28:39.820 him directly, but you need to make it real to him. Senator, we have a printout of what President

03:28:46.880 And she was saying to President Trump, it was not interpreted in real time.

03:28:52.680 This is what he said.

03:28:53.340 He said, I have always believed that the common interests between China and the U.S. outweighed the differences.

03:28:59.440 He said that success of China and the U.S. is an opportunity for each other.

03:29:04.920 He said stability of China-U.S. relations is a good thing for the world.

03:29:10.580 He said he's looking forward to exchanging views with President Trump on major issues.

03:29:15.600 and he said, let 2026 be a historic and landmark year for China-U.S. relations to carry on

03:29:22.960 the past and open up the future. Now, would one alternative be, I mean, we are a net exporter

03:29:30.520 of energy. Is that a possibility? Everything's possible. They're an export country. They don't

03:29:38.900 have their 1.4 billion Chinese who live, a lot of them live in poverty. There's no Social Security,

03:29:45.900 there's no Medicare. Our worst day is China's best day. They put on a hell of a show, 1.00

03:29:51.360 but their economy is struggling. Inner China, coastal economy is strong. The inner part of

03:29:58.780 China lives hand to mouth. I wouldn't trade places with them for all the tea in China. 1.00

03:30:04.580 The bottom line here is I want a good relationship with China, but if President Trump doesn't make it clear to President Xi that your bad actions regarding Iran and Russia fueling terrorism and a never-ending conflict, they need to change.

03:30:20.320 And if they change, you'll be rewarded. If they don't, you'll be punished.

03:30:23.840 If we don't communicate that, then I think we'll have failed, quite frankly, to achieve the goal of this summit for me, which is to get China to be more normal.

03:30:35.380 Look, I think you hit it at the very beginning.

03:30:37.760 You're dealing with the man that is the author of The Art of the Deal.

03:30:43.180 And one thing President Trump said to me on the flight over here is said, everything is on the table.

03:30:50.100 You name it, it'll be brought up in the course of this trip here.

03:30:55.040 Senator, we do appreciate you being with us.

03:30:56.680 Thank you for your patience.

03:30:58.540 We appreciate your time.

03:31:00.100 All right, President Trump is making trade a major key focus of this week's summit.

03:31:03.840 The Chinese economy has been struggling here with more insight on the business opportunities that can certainly come out of this summit as a host of Making Money on Fox Business.

03:31:13.860 Our friend Charles Payton is with us from the Fox Business Network.

03:31:17.380 Charles, you know, their economy has been struggling.

03:31:20.820 Now, there is one point that Lindsay was making.

03:31:23.500 They do rely on Russian and Iranian oil, the Strait of Hormuz.

03:31:28.060 I have comments on what Senator Graham said, but let's listen to this first.

03:31:33.740 sorry guys, I didn't expect to be going this late. I didn't expect like the whole China thing to

03:31:39.780 come up. For some reason, I thought it was all happening tomorrow. Price increase in oil.

03:31:46.400 That's number one. 90% of their oil coming through the straight over moves. Their tanker

03:31:50.820 just got hit. I, you know, economically, I would say it would be in both countries best

03:31:56.660 interest if they came up with these deals and then look at the who's who of business people

03:32:00.940 that are here. These are all people you know very well, Charles. Yeah, no, they're all, and a lot

03:32:07.500 of those business folks are household names. Everyone knows Elon Musk, Jensen Wong's becoming

03:32:11.900 a household name. You've got the biggest of the biggest out there. You know, it's interesting

03:32:16.020 because listening to Senator Graham, he didn't bring up Taiwan, which is, you know, what ultimately

03:32:20.680 I think what she wants to have as what we remember him by, the world remembers him by, particularly

03:32:26.280 China, having reunited Taiwan. And that was the ultimate bargaining chip. The dragon bear

03:32:34.040 combination, you cannot separate that. Yes, he should influence Russia to pull back. And we 0.90

03:32:40.640 heard Putin earlier this week suggest that's going to happen. They've taken traumatic losses.

03:32:45.180 They've been humbled, embarrassed by this whole thing. But that's a key relationship because

03:32:50.660 ultimately, ultimately, China would like to supersede America. They've said so. They put 0.97

03:32:56.060 it in writing. It's their goal. And what he's trying to do is what historians call

03:33:00.580 sort of a way of avoiding a historic trap where the rising nation takes on the sitting

03:33:10.440 ruling nation in the world. And the last 500 years has happened 16 times. And 12 times that's

03:33:17.320 occurred, we have war. He would like to avoid a war in doing this. So, yes, he wants to have

03:33:22.720 a complementary relationship with America. And he would like to succeed in taking his economy

03:33:28.080 beyond ours and also succeed in bringing in Taiwan. Those are his ultimate goals. And he'd 0.70

03:33:33.460 like to do it with a friendly relationship. Obviously, we know those are his goals. We know

03:33:37.600 that we've committed to protecting Taiwan. And so, in the meantime, the tariff actions,

03:33:42.500 They've been put on pause. 145 percent tariffs at one point. That was crushing their economy.

03:33:48.200 Apparently, there's a deal already in place. They'll probably sign off on it in the next 24

03:33:53.220 hours, a 30 billion dollar trade deal. And ultimately, the goal for President Trump was

03:33:57.300 to get all tariffs down. That's what a lot of people forget about. And they had much bigger

03:34:01.520 tariffs on our products than we had on there. So that would be a success for everyone. There's

03:34:05.720 going to be a massive goods order. You know, our goods orders have dropped dramatically from China.

03:34:10.740 There's some rerouting into other nations, but that costs them money.

03:34:14.040 So economically, there should be some massive deals out of this.

03:34:17.740 But we should never forget what China's ultimate goal is.

03:34:20.740 And as Xi gets older, he's going to be more desperate to get those completed.

03:34:26.300 Well, I think that's true.

03:34:27.720 And, you know, interestingly, Bill was telling me the story how he came here not even working for a network at the time.

03:34:34.440 He just was traveling the world and spent a full year on the road.

03:34:38.720 And he was here and he talked about.

03:34:40.020 okay they're just they're just talking like random nonsense stuff guys look at this look at this

03:34:49.220 oh wait my browser lost connection all right guys give me a moment

03:34:54.260 um i need to reconnect this is really interesting

03:34:58.660 look at this okay

03:35:05.220 wait for it wait for it

03:35:10.620 i guess the best in the world amazing people and they're all with me they every single one of them

03:35:18.540 we asked the top 30 in the world every single one of them said yes

03:35:23.700 and i didn't want the second or the third in the company i wanted only the top

03:35:28.200 and they're here today to pay respects to you and to China,

03:35:32.500 and they look forward to trade and doing business,

03:35:35.980 and it's going to be totally reciprocal on our behalf.

03:35:39.520 So I really look very much forward to our discussion.

03:35:42.320 It's a big discussion.

03:35:43.380 There are those that say this is maybe the biggest summit ever.

03:35:47.040 They can never remember anything like it.

03:35:49.280 Look what happened.

03:35:50.180 People aren't talking about anything else.

03:35:54.340 But it's an honor to be with you.

03:35:56.380 It's an honor to be your friend.

03:35:58.200 and the relationship between china and the usa is going to be better than ever before

03:36:03.560 thank you very much thank you thank you i was watching this watch this part

03:36:19.640 okay so you so okay so here's the thing you you hear like so as it's ending guys this is the

03:36:37.560 crazy part so what as it's ending um you like you know marco rubio leans in and then him and trump

03:36:45.500 like they start having this conversation and and they're you know he's looking somewhere he's not 0.57

03:36:50.500 impressed and then you hear like you know the the the guy who's with the ccp i guess he's like thank 0.99

03:36:57.140 you thank you like he's basically saying to the press okay like cut your feet so he's basically 0.99

03:37:03.220 saying end the live stream now watch what happens

03:37:07.400 he doesn't end the live feed he doesn't end the live feed he just has his he's holding

03:37:27.240 his camera so guys watch this this is wild

03:37:30.320 Thank you.

03:38:00.320 like what is this did he just like do you do you think he just forgot to turn off his live stream

03:38:20.560 do you think he just forgot to turn off his live stream or is this done

03:38:24.240 on on on purpose it's the fox news camera

03:38:30.320 Yeah.

03:38:41.320 What is going on?

03:38:57.320 Hey, he's filming.

03:39:00.320 guys i haven't seen this sort of image since like my childhood

03:39:19.040 oh no guys wait it gets it gets weirder it gets weirder

03:39:30.800 look it continues it continues it continues look at this

03:39:49.040 Thank you.

03:40:19.040 Thank you.

03:40:49.040 i think that's it

03:40:53.860 i think maybe at that point like someone yeah so that's what i think i think some you know what

03:41:02.360 there's no conspiracy theory here i'm pretty sure he probably just forgot to close the lens and turn

03:41:10.800 off the live stream but there you go i just thought that was kind of interesting so

03:41:17.740 no no conspiracy theories just i think it was just uh oh was it was that the ccp handler guys

03:41:26.840 we need to okay we need to find out who this fox news video camera guy was and make sure he's okay

03:41:34.900 is that what it sounded like that he said end it

03:41:41.080 I don't know, man.

03:42:09.760 I don't know, man.

03:42:11.080 I mean, are we, are we going to turn into like, I don't know, a conspiracy theory live, but no,

03:42:21.000 we're not going to get into like conspiracy theories. That was probably just like, you know,

03:42:26.380 a technical error or something. But yeah, I just thought that was very, very bizarre and interesting,

03:42:33.220 especially since like it cut out it cut out and then it goes back to the live feed so

03:42:41.060 make of that what you will oh wait this is interesting

03:42:44.360 i like this guy china's lost their foothold in the panama canal venezuelan oil they may if

03:42:52.980 there's a regime change the next two years they're going to lose influence in iran their weapons

03:42:57.940 didn't really perform very well to protect Iran in contrast to our naval and air spectacular forces

03:43:06.340 and that represents an asymmetry that we've kind of put up with because if you look at it

03:43:11.460 we're the largest producer of oil and gas in history they import 65 percent we're the largest

03:43:16.980 producer of agricultural products and value they're importing 30 percent of their food

03:43:22.820 eight out of the ten top come uh market capitalization companies in the world or

03:43:28.500 american only one is chinese i could go on but because of that asymmetry we felt we can give

03:43:34.180 them latitude they can have 300 000 students here they can buy farmland here they can buy farmland

03:43:40.820 next ability and we kind of say well it's we'll let them do it but at some point anytime donald

03:43:46.660 pump wants to exercise that leverage and we want to get along with them but they've got enormous

03:43:52.100 problems. Their fertility rate is 1.0 and ours is 1.7. And it takes four Chinese citizens to produce 0.97

03:43:59.860 60% of the GDP that one American produces. So Donald Trump's got all the cards. It's just a

03:44:06.700 question of how hard he wants to press concessions to redress this asymmetrical relationship because

03:44:12.620 they're not as strong as everybody says they are. And therefore they take advantages of us to catch

03:44:17.980 up. And I don't know how long we're going to put up with that, but all the cards are in Trump's hand.

03:44:24.820 I want to get your thoughts on this in particular, because they get their energy,

03:44:29.140 a big part of it, from Russia and from through the Strait of Hormuz and Iran.

03:44:34.940 You ever foresee a scenario where energy could come from America to China?

03:44:39.840 yeah i mean energy is fungible so we if they've been one of their keys of their economy they've

03:44:49.040 been buying enormous amounts of oil from venezuela and iran at cut rate prices in russia

03:44:54.740 and that's the ending and if we can increase the production but i don't know how much we can keep

03:45:00.780 increasing it because it seems like the entire world wants our oil and gas maybe gas we can i'm

03:45:06.700 not sure that we can supply their need by oil. I think they import something like 10 million

03:45:12.000 barrels a day. It's phenomenal. And they're really in dire straits. And I think everybody

03:45:18.840 needs to realize that, that they're not the powerhouse that everybody anticipated they'd

03:45:23.320 be at this point. And we are, we've had a kind of a renaissance in technology and AI

03:45:28.720 and robotics, crypto and our defense. Everything is ascendant for the United States. And we don't

03:45:35.380 hear that at home very often, but empirically, it's true, and I think the world realizes that.

03:45:41.520 All right, well said. Victor Davis Hanson, thank you for staying up and joining us.

03:45:45.260 All right, Secretary of State Marco Rubio told me on Air Force One that the topic of Iran

03:45:49.920 will, in fact, come up during this meeting with President Xi. Joining us now, former assistant

03:45:55.240 to President Trump, retired Lieutenant General Keith Kellogg. That will be a major sticking

03:46:00.720 point. I think that Lindsey Graham rightly said they could play a very huge role in bringing an

03:46:08.100 end to this conflict just by telling the Iranians to knock it off or they're not going to buy their 0.82

03:46:13.300 oil. Would that happen? Yeah, Sean, thanks for having me. Look, this was what you said earlier

03:46:22.180 in the program. It was a wow. This is a show of power. They were trying to impress the most

03:46:26.680 powerful man of the most powerful nation in the world when you look at the people he's brought

03:46:31.640 with elon musk and president of nvidia and all those people it just demonstrates our power

03:46:38.280 and they're an export economy and they're going to really focus in on the economy but iran's

03:46:43.000 important to them because it provides their economic engine you know most of their power

03:46:47.560 comes from coal but the oil that they get comes out of iran and we control that we control the

03:46:52.680 the Straits right now. We can control Karg Island if we want to, or any of the islands in the

03:46:58.320 Strait of Hormuz. And they've got to worry about that. They can actually say, let's become friends 0.82

03:47:03.180 and break this relationship, which we had in the first Trump term. When you had the relationship

03:47:08.020 different from Russia and North Korea and Iran, and also with China, you can break that apart.

03:47:14.740 And that should become friends and work together in this because they need us right now because

03:47:19.740 their economy is suffering because of lack of oil. It's all up to us to humble them out.

03:47:24.460 And I think you're going to see that over the next few days with the summit. You know,

03:47:28.060 President Trump is leading a very powerful delegation from a powerful country. He's kind

03:47:33.420 of the, he's the right guy at the right time in the right place compared to previous guests

03:47:38.540 that have gone to China. And I think that there's a genuine relationship, a friendship

03:47:44.620 between he and President Xi and President Trump. And I think that's great. And I,

03:47:49.100 And I put all the cards with President Trump.

03:47:51.380 I think he'll play him well.

03:47:52.880 He'll use Chinese influence, hopefully not only in Iran, but also with Russia.

03:47:58.580 If he can break Russia away from, depending on China, and they are the junior partner,

03:48:04.320 they mean Russia, he can probably end that war as well in Ukraine. 0.67

03:48:08.560 Then you get two for one out of the deal, Iran and Ukraine.

03:48:13.460 Yeah, I think those are great goals.

03:48:15.920 Anyway, we appreciate you, General Kellogg.

03:48:18.040 thank you for being with us joining us now uh my friend and colleague former congressman

03:48:22.600 fox news contributor jason chaffetz is with us jason let's get your overall

03:48:27.720 okay now we're kind of getting into like boring people that i don't really care about anymore

03:48:31.800 so i think i'm kind of done with with sean hannity um but guys look at this this is so weird this is

03:48:39.720 so weird okay so um remember how earlier today i broke the news that um uh prime minister benjamin

03:48:48.680 netanyahu confirmed that during the uh iran uh sorry the islamic regime slash you know versus

03:48:56.920 israel uh u.s conflict um uh prime minister benjamin netanyahu secretly visited the uae

03:49:05.560 where he met with uae president sheikh mohammed bin zayed so this news was broken earlier today

03:49:15.000 this is coming from the official government account of the prime minister of israel okay now

03:49:25.160 the official government account of the uae is denying it so they're saying the uae denies

03:49:32.440 what is being circulated regarding a visit by the israeli prime minister

03:49:38.520 or the reception of an israeli military delegation what

03:49:45.960 what is that that is wild

03:49:51.400 like guys in this situation if i had to if i had to choose who to trust i'm 100

03:49:57.320 percent trusting israel right like i'm 100 trusting israel i'm 100 trusting um benjamin netanyahu

03:50:06.360 on this one but the uae is denying it because because they're afraid of the other arab countries

03:50:16.040 uh you know um targeting them or isolating them right so yeah

03:50:23.720 this is messed up. This is messed up. So I have a feeling that this is why Israel is 100%

03:50:39.620 committed to freeing Iran from the Islamic regime. Because prior to 1979, Iran was Israel's biggest 0.98

03:50:50.420 ally and pretty much only ally in the Middle East, right? Because, like, Iran would never

03:50:57.180 do something like this to Israel, right? But look at this. This is messed up. This is so

03:51:03.440 messed up. Like, I 100% believe Israel, but the fact that the UAE is denying it, like,

03:51:13.680 right this just goes to show who you can trust and who you can't and uh yeah this is why i

03:51:21.400 criticize certain countries you know certain countries there are government policies you

03:51:26.520 know they pretend to be pro-peace or you know whatever but when push comes to shove

03:51:32.520 like this is so awkward this is so awkward wow look at that and you know what makes this even 0.91

03:51:44.840 more awkward is that if I recall I have to go look into this but if I recall Israel gave the UAE

03:51:53.440 it's Iron Dome technology so that the UAE could defend itself from the missiles coming from the

03:52:03.380 Islamic regime, right? So imagine the betrayal, right? Like Israel gave them Iron Dome technology 0.86

03:52:12.040 and now the UAE is like, nope, nope, we never met. Nope. I have no idea what you're talking about.

03:52:18.300 all lies there you go so that's pretty messed up um that's super super messed up

03:52:48.300 okay

03:52:54.940 we hope to convince that we already watched this i don't want to re-watch this we already

03:52:58.220 saw the sean hannity version of this um let me see if we can find

03:53:02.300 I'm going to see if I can find the footage of...

03:53:23.300 of, where was it? Why did Nixon? I want to find this. Give me a moment.

03:53:38.540 here we go guys since since you know my focus is more on you know iran and things like that

03:53:57.140 although that was pretty relevant but look at this guys this is a little bit of footage

03:54:03.700 but let me go back so I can open this up in a new tab. But here is footage of President Richard

03:54:14.180 Nixon's state visit to Iran in 1972. So I just thought you guys might find this interesting.

03:54:27.240 um so it's not a short it's not sorry it's pretty short video clip it's not very long

03:54:34.080 but uh i just thought this was kind of cool i'll see if i can find i'm seeing some other footage

03:54:40.420 as well so let's let's watch this one and then i'll see what else i can share with you guys

03:54:44.860 about um uh richard nixon president nixon's visit to iran in 1972 president flies to iran

03:54:54.420 here we go the president flies to iran for a state visit with shah reza palavi

03:55:01.780 together they enter the capital city of tehran

03:55:19.300 i want to go back i want to i want to do this

03:55:21.940 this. The president flies to Iran for a state visit with Shah Reza Pahlavi. Together, they enter

03:55:29.980 the capital city of Tehran. Mr. Nixon first visited Iran 19 years ago. Now,

03:55:51.900 he returns as leader of the American people.

03:56:01.740 During afternoon sessions, the President and Shah discuss peaceful resolution of the Middle

03:56:07.020 East situation and the security and economic growth of the Persian Gulf.

03:56:16.800 That evening, the Shah and Empress Farah reside at a state dinner held in the American's honor.

03:56:46.800 Mr. Nixon pays his respect at the tomb of the shah's father, the founder of modern-day

03:57:05.480 Iran.

03:57:05.820 The calendar of modern-day moderns, let's look at the greats.

03:57:26.820 Iran recently celebrated the 2,500th anniversary of its monarchy.

03:57:31.820 Under the Shah's administration, land redistribution, literacy programs, and industrial development have made the country a leader among the Persian Gulf states.

03:57:47.260 At the Sadabad Palace, President and Mrs. Nixon host a luncheon for the Shah, Empress Farah, and Iranian dignitaries.

03:57:56.340 The United States and Iran have had cordial relations for many years.

03:58:01.600 This visit confirms their strong ties and mutual respect.

03:58:09.640 Wow.

03:58:15.920 Oh my gosh, guys, there's so many.

03:58:18.420 There's so many videos here.

03:58:20.200 We can't watch them all tonight because it's getting late,

03:58:22.680 but let me just do something really quick.

03:58:25.860 I'm just going to save all of these suggested documentaries

03:58:30.780 that just showed up. And then we can watch them later. So

03:58:36.600 let me just save these ones. I think I think we might have already watched them, but I always

03:58:44.720 love rewatching them. So okay, so I just saved those three years ago trees. And let me just

03:58:54.940 pause this. He's somewhere where I like it. Look at this. These are, you know, happier days. Happier

03:59:02.640 days when the Durkas were not in control of Iran, right? All right, I'm going to go to the few 1.00

03:59:09.660 remaining super chats, and then I will call it a night. This has gone on a little bit longer than

03:59:16.300 I expected. However, I had a lot of fun. I had a lot of fun. We spoke about China and communism,

03:59:23.420 and there was a little bit of breaking news. There was also some Iran mixed in there. So

03:59:28.300 I had a good time. This was fun. Okay. So, um, to the super chats, the major actual

03:59:34.760 Magbar Zbigniew Brzezinski. Let's see who this guy is. I'm pretty sure I know him,

03:59:43.420 but let me just pull it up again. Uh, who is this guy?

03:59:53.420 Oh, Jimmy Carter's national security advisor. Yeah. Yeah. That guy was an idiot. Literally

04:00:03.180 gave Jimmy Carter the wrong advice about, uh, Iran. And that's what led to 1979. So there you 0.98

04:02:00.240 right now because otherwise I would be up all night but thank you I will save that for a rainy

04:02:05.300 day. Rod Miller, it might be self-preservation. Oh, so Rod's referring to the UAE denying the

04:02:15.320 fact that Benjamin Netanyahu visited. And Rod is saying, wasn't Anwar Sadat from Egypt taken

04:02:24.420 out by his own military after trying to make peace with Israel? Yeah, that is a very good point. 1.00

04:02:30.740 Um, so, you know, I have a feeling that in terms of what's happening here is Israel is testing the waters. Um, you would think that after, um, you know, the, the UAE claiming that they're this progressive, modern, peaceful, you know, state and everyone, everyone, you know, lives and coexists and blah, blah, blah, that it wouldn't be an issue that Benjamin Netanyahu visited.

04:02:56.740 But obviously, that's not the case, right? The UAE portrays this image of, you know, peace and modernity and whatever. But there's a lot of filth that goes on behind the scenes. Yeah, there's a lot of that's all I can say. There's a lot of filth that goes on behind the scenes. Just look up.

04:03:26.740 look up like, uh, what's it called?

04:03:39.860 Yeah. Um, so on your own, look up Dubai port-a-potties and that will tell you everything

04:03:47.120 you need to know about the very active, very active, not family rated, not Islamic activities 0.53

04:04:04.220 that happen behind the scenes. Yeah. And basically what they do is they hire, you know, Instagram 0.90

04:04:15.140 models, usually from poor countries, like poor, like Eastern European countries,

04:04:25.400 they hire Instagram models to go to parties. Yeah. Anyways, I'm going to leave it at that.

04:04:32.180 But there you go. Dubai is not everything that they say it is. Also, there's a huge

04:04:38.920 sex trafficking ring

04:04:42.100 and human slavery as well.

04:04:44.380 So slavery is also big there. 0.60
