00:02:00.000 Well, hello and good evening, everyone.
00:02:28.060 Welcome to tonight's evening edition of The Goldie Show with your host, me, Goldie Gamari,
00:02:36.640 former politician, current geopolitical analyst, Mideast expert, and of course, terrorist Durka
00:02:45.860 Whisperer. And what did you guys think of the intro? Did you like my new intro?
00:02:51.400 So let me tell you what I was kind of doing with my intro because, you know, my show, the theme is all about, you know, geopolitics and terrorism in the Middle East and sort of, you know, the Arab Muslim invasion and how that's sort of, you know, morphed into what's happening today.
00:03:18.800 um yeah I was I was working on something so I I don't know I hope you guys enjoyed that so
00:03:26.880 yeah okay I'm I'm glad I still have like a few a few things I need to work out on uh you know work

00:03:43.560 at some point um and then i can i can kind of what yeah so it was game of thrones style okay so
00:03:50.640 omita saying it was game of thrones style you loved it okay um if you like i can kind of before
00:03:57.020 we get into uh tonight's episode um i can kind of like walk you guys through it and kind of tell
00:04:05.000 you sort of my concept and um you know what i was sort of thinking with it but i'll leave that up
00:04:13.220 to you um how long did it take how long did it take to make that intro um took me about an hour
00:04:20.600 I mean obviously I used AI right like I'm not I'm not a graphics designer or anything like that
00:04:25.880 but uh sure okay you want me to you want me to walk you guys through that um okay all right I
00:04:34.760 will I'll play it again and I will walk you guys through that if that's what you want so um
00:04:42.020 Um, okay. Oh, someone's asking, can I play the intro with the Team America song? I can't do
00:04:48.380 that because the Team America song is copyrighted. So I can't really, um, play copyrighted music
00:04:55.520 on my channel. Um, I might get a copyright strike, but, uh, all right. Okay. So sure.
00:05:01.820 You know what? Why not? Let me walk you guys through, um, my intro and, uh, I'll, I'll kind
00:05:09.300 break it down i'll i'll pause i'll break it down and i'll kind of let you guys tell you guys what
00:05:14.340 i was thinking for for each one and we can take it from there so all right okay so so the beginning
00:05:22.900 part is just sort of like you know concepts about iran because i'm iranian okay so let's play the
00:05:30.660 the first part so you can see um the the tower this was built by the shah of iran um there's the
00:05:40.280 the farvahar on the top right and then on the top left you can see the lion and sun and then below
00:05:48.780 that it's like ancient persepolis and then you can also see sort of like a modern skyline of
00:05:54.100 Tehran. Um, one of the prompts that I, you know, like when I was generating the, um, the prompts,
00:06:01.320 um, I, you know, one of the, one of the instructions was no reference to mosques or like Islam or
00:06:09.680 anything like that, because obviously I'm Iranian and the Iranian identity is, is different from,
00:06:15.640 uh, you know, Islam and we're fighting the Islamic regime. Okay. So here's the first part.
00:06:20.220 and it kind of shows like you know ancient iran kind of morphing into like modern day
00:06:26.480 and of course the lion because the lion and sons
00:06:30.400 and then so this part this scene um this is supposed to represent the um arab muslim invasion
00:06:44.000 of persia 1400 years ago so this is sort of like you can see like the durkas right the
00:06:50.160 Durkhas are invading Persia and destroying a beautiful civilization and as you can see as he
00:07:01.760 as the like Durkhas take over um they just basically destroy everything because you know
00:07:07.920 the Arab Muslim invasion of Persia was a downgrade
00:07:13.280 and then this part this part is sort of this is kind of uh to represent the crusades right where
00:07:23.600 sort of the the arab muslim conquerors were trying to of course um invade europe right and then here
00:07:32.000 you have europe kind of fighting back so this this this segment here is kind of like um hinting
00:07:39.080 at the crusades and how um the crusaders were able to fight back the arab muslim invasion
00:07:53.800 and then this is just like you know a beautiful it the the theme here the concept is like
00:07:58.920 a beautiful persian city um or like a beautiful ancient city doesn't necessarily have to be
00:08:03.800 persian because there were um a lot of civilizations that were conquered by the arab muslim invaders
00:08:11.320 back uh you know in the 650s so and then this is just sort of you can see like this dark cloud
00:08:27.240 and shadow kind of just going through the middle east area um kind of all the way to africa and
00:08:34.040 that's supposed to represent um the expansion of the arab muslim colonizers across the region
00:08:49.480 and then so these books that are you know these books and maps kind of flying into the air
00:08:55.240 this is supposed to represent um the fact that when the arab muslim invaders conquered various
00:09:02.040 cities they burned all the libraries because they wanted to get rid of all of the pre-islamic
00:09:07.560 knowledge and then this is of course sort of the world
00:09:25.240 and then this is sort of just like a you know a world map and you know you see you know sort of
00:09:34.060 like you know world map and there's like wars and you know fighting and the crusades and you
00:09:38.500 can also see the lion and son um in the background and then this so so that first part was kind of
00:09:52.660 like, you know, ancient history. And that's important because what's happening today in
00:10:00.500 terms of geopolitics and the Middle East, but also what's happening in Western countries,
00:10:06.940 you know, like America, Canada, Europe, Australia, elsewhere, what's happening today when it comes
00:10:14.280 to terrorism and jihad, it's related, like it literally is tied back to what happened or what
00:10:22.560 started 1400 years ago. So this scene is sort of like the Middle East going from like, you know,
00:10:29.920 ancient to modern times. And then again, you know, another kind of reference or homage to like
00:10:44.440 ancient civilizations and how we've now come and progressed into modern society.
00:10:52.560 and then this is sort of you know showing how the world is all connected and how you know you might
00:11:05.220 think that an issue or conflict that is like thousands of miles away um is actually much
00:11:11.640 closer than you think because it's all connected. And then this is, you know, supposed to represent,
00:11:23.900 you know, modern Western government figures who are, you know, meeting in like a situation room
00:11:32.160 to talk about like, you know, jihad and terrorism and, you know, potential war or conflict by
00:11:38.680 Dirkas. And I purposely kept the people, you know, generic so that it's not, you know, like
00:11:44.940 referencing one particular person. And then this is, of course, the world game of chess, right?
00:11:59.740 So this is kind of referencing how, you know, various political actors are, you know, kind of
00:12:07.460 playing this global game of chess which is basically what geopolitics is
00:12:13.820 and then this is the strait of hormones here so we all know the reference to the strait of
00:12:25.220 And then this is just sort of, again, showing how the globe is all interconnected and how
00:12:39.980 something that happens in one part of the world, for example, in the Middle East,
00:12:45.000 impacts the rest of the world.
00:12:55.220 and then again just another reference because you know now it's sort of like going into you
00:13:02.140 know it started in ancient times and then we get to modern times and then now we're
00:13:07.560 talking about global geopolitics and how everything is interconnected
00:13:11.740 and then of course this is so this part is you know supposed to represent um how
00:13:24.280 there's currently like we're currently in a civilizational battle like we're literally in
00:13:29.860 an existential war against um the islamic regime and this um evil ideology that is that has
00:13:39.420 engulfed the globe and is trying to conquer the entire world through jihad
00:13:54.280 And then this part's my favorite part. So I'm actually really proud of this part because
00:14:00.760 I, you know, generated, like I put in the YouTube AI prompt or whatever to like generate this. So
00:14:07.300 this part is representing the Iranian people who for the last 47 years have been held hostage by
00:14:17.760 the terrorist Islamic regime. And you see the lion and son kind of like breaking out and, you know,
00:14:26.120 just coming back to life. Right. So this this part represents the Iranian national lion and son
00:14:37.080 revolution and how we are going to be successful. And so you can see the lion and son with the crown
00:14:43.760 on top of course to represent um the Shah of Iran and the monarchy the Pahlavi dynasty
00:14:50.000 and you can see ancient Persia on the left side and you can see a modern Tehran skyline on the
00:14:58.080 right side and then this is just sort of like the the end scene which is kind of like global
00:15:12.080 geopolitics and then kind of zooming in and focusing on um iran and the middle east and the
00:15:18.400 fact that i'm of course there you go do you guys like that like i've i've been i really wanted like
00:15:33.020 for a while to sort of upgrade my um uh you know like my opening intro and stuff but um oh thank
00:15:42.060 you so much for the kind comments okay so just for you guys just for you guys i will play it um
00:15:49.660 one more time um because now that now that i've explained the symbolism behind the video
00:15:56.860 um you guys can sort of you know appreciate it more i guess yeah i'll play it again absolutely
00:16:02.940 absolutely david so now that i've explained it i will absolutely play it again um without pausing
00:16:09.980 And for people who said, you know, I think someone mentioned, you know, that I said a few months ago, I'm not good with AI. Yeah, I did say that I'm not good with AI. But, you know, one of the things about myself is that when I'm not good at something, I will always challenge myself to learn it, right, to figure it out, teach myself how to do it.
00:16:32.380 So this is all literally self-taught.
00:16:34.640 Like I did this all myself with no outside help.
00:16:38.600 So yeah, okay, guys, maybe I'm like not only a Durka whisperer
00:16:43.560 or a geopolitical whisperer or a political analyst whisperer.
00:16:46.960 Maybe now I'm like an AI whisperer or something.
00:16:49.660 Who knows?
00:16:50.340 But all right, okay.
00:16:52.080 So now I will play it again one more time without interruption.
00:16:56.300 And just to make sure that I don't interrupt,
00:16:59.400 I will turn off my camera and microphone.
00:17:02.380 so I don't tempt myself. But all right, here you go. Here's the new intro.
00:17:32.380 Let's go.
00:18:02.380 We'll be right back.
00:18:32.380 Thank you.
00:19:02.380 We'll be right back.
00:19:32.380 I was muted. I was muted. So there you go. That's the intro. And, you know, honestly,
00:19:47.360 it kind of looks like a movie trailer that I want to watch, right? Like, it's almost like
00:19:53.940 it's pretty much Game of Durka, right? So it's like the intro to Game of Durka.
00:20:02.460 And, but having said that, let's dive right in to the Game of Durka. Now, I'm going to like,
00:20:13.640 so the purpose of tonight's live stream is we're going to watch and analyze President Trump's
00:20:20.740 cabinet meeting from last week. And the reason that I want to analyze it today is because some
00:20:27.180 of you might think that President Trump's cabinet meeting might be old news because, you know,
00:20:33.520 it happened a week ago. However, one of the things that I've noticed, especially, you know,
00:20:39.820 analyzing the entire Iran situation, not just, you know, for the last four or five months, but
00:20:47.140 for the last 15 years, is that if you want to understand, truly understand what's happening
00:20:56.740 today, you have to pay attention to what was said before. And not enough people will watch the
00:21:08.000 political meetings or speeches or congressional hearings or cabinet meetings or Senate,
00:21:19.480 you know, whatever, because most people are like, oh, you know, like, this is politics,
00:21:24.100 it's boring, blah, blah, blah. And you know what, I do understand that. I totally get it. Because
00:21:28.400 oftentimes, the way that politicians speak, it's, you know, it's in a way that might seem
00:21:35.440 intimidating or daunting or overwhelming. But the reason that we're going to be watching this
00:21:42.060 together tonight is because as a former politician, I'm here to translate political speak
00:21:50.560 into English. And I did start playing this cabinet meeting a while ago, but then, you know,
00:22:01.780 got distracted, because there was a lot of news coming out, and, you know, all that stuff. And
00:22:07.420 the way that I like to analyze these videos is I just want to have like a complete video,
00:22:18.840 you know, with political analysis and commentary that's completely uninterrupted. Because, you
00:22:25.520 know, that way, it's easier to kind of go back and just watch all of that. So tonight's episode
00:22:30.780 is not necessarily, like, a breaking news episode.
00:22:35.040 But, you know, please mention, you know,
00:22:37.460 if there's breaking news, let me know
00:22:39.900 in the comments section, obviously, in the live chat.
00:22:43.580 You know, if, you know, there's news that, like,
00:22:46.620 I don't know, the Islamic regime has been overthrown
00:22:49.160 or something, obviously, I want to hear about that.
00:22:52.160 And I will look it up.
00:22:54.240 If there's more boom-boom attacks by the Islamic regime,
00:22:57.460 of course, you know, I want to know about that.
00:22:59.420 And I know I'll share that as a quick intermission. But, but aside from that, tonight's live stream is focused on political analysis, interpretation, and commentary. And I do see that we have some super chats, I'm going to leave the super chats for after the analysis.
00:23:22.840 So the way that the format's going to work for tonight is we're going to go through the cabinet meeting from May 27 with President Trump.
00:23:34.760 And then after I'm done my political analysis and commentary, then I will dedicate a specific time to all of your super chats and any other questions or comments that I see.
00:23:49.100 Um, so having said that, let's get started.
00:23:57.500 Okay.
00:23:59.640 Oh, and I, before we begin, tonight's bubbly is grapefruit flavored.
00:24:07.240 There we go.
00:24:07.900 So grapefruit flavored bubbly.
00:24:10.720 All right, let's get going.
00:24:13.860 And again, former politician, political nerd, I love this stuff.
00:24:19.640 And I'm just thrilled that you guys are here with me so that we can watch this together.
00:24:25.100 Wait, someone's asking what happened to Tusi?
00:24:29.340 What do you mean what happened to Tusi?
00:24:31.800 Did something happen to Tusi?
00:24:33.520 I'm sure Mahir Tusi's fine. Why?
00:24:36.800 All right, let me just look this up really quick before we begin.
00:24:41.840 Tusi's fine. Why? What's the issue?
00:24:43.860 my hair 2c is fine he's been posting on x he's good guys he's probably just taking a few days
00:25:04.680 oh he wasn't on today oh you know what so okay so here's the thing if anyone is ever worried
00:25:11.900 about 2C, just go and look at his X account, right? He's been active on X, which means that
00:25:23.020 he's okay. So if he didn't post today, he's probably taking a break to recuperate, probably
00:25:29.540 doing staff meetings or whatever the case might be. So don't worry about 2C, right? If you're
00:25:35.100 wondering why, you know, he hasn't posted on YouTube, go check his X account. If he's posting
00:25:40.640 on X, that means he's okay. So there we go. So 2C is totally fine. And yeah, I can't even message
00:25:49.920 him right now. Like I could, but he's asleep because it's England time, right? All right,
00:25:55.080 let's go back to the main program. All right, let's begin.
00:26:10.640 We have a lot of very happy people around the table because we're a great team.
00:26:25.140 It's been a tremendous period of time for our country and things are going very well.
00:26:30.640 A number of jobs.
00:26:31.640 We have more people working today than we've ever had before in the history of our country
00:26:36.640 and many other things.
00:26:37.640 And I have a few words to say to you that I think will be helpful.
00:26:42.360 Last night was incredible.
00:26:43.940 Not only Texas, but so many other places.
00:26:47.000 The numbers were fantastic.
00:26:49.020 And they've really been that way for a year.
00:26:52.820 If you look, it's hundreds of people won.
00:26:56.880 And almost nobody didn't win.
00:27:00.520 But last night was very, very powerful.
00:27:03.780 so i'm thrilled to welcome everyone to the 12th cabinet meeting of our administration and we're
00:27:09.940 doing something that no administration's ever done we're always letting the press join us
00:27:15.300 because we're very open and transparent i like the word transparent but we're more transparent than
00:27:20.400 any any administration in history no to the best of my knowledge press has never been invited ever
00:27:26.620 to a cabinet meeting for any reason at all and uh it's an honor to have you this team has achieved
00:27:34.220 more than most other administrations achieve in eight years we took the most dangerous unsafe
00:27:41.260 violent and open border in the world anywhere in the world there's no border like the border we had
00:27:46.940 and created the most secure border in the history of our country we had no people 12 months now no
00:27:52.780 people reported in the last 12 months came in illegally. Zero illegal aliens admitted to the
00:27:59.300 United States in the last 12 months. And those charts are made by, you would say, politically
00:28:04.300 unfriendly people. And the reason they don't come in is because nobody comes up because they know
00:28:09.340 that. I also want to point out, keep in mind who President Trump chooses to put beside him.
00:28:18.600 And I think I mentioned this when I first started analyzing the video, and we never finished it. But there's something very interesting about this cabinet meeting. Usually in these sorts of meetings, the camera will frame the main person who's speaking, right?
00:28:41.100 So usually you would assume that when President Trump is speaking, the camera would zoom in on him and frame only him so that you don't see who's around him.
00:28:54.180 But I did like a quick, very, very brief sort of view of the entire video.
00:29:02.520 And every single time the camera is focusing on President Trump, it's never zoomed in.
00:29:09.420 Um, every single time the camera is focusing on President Trump, you always, always see Marco Rubio and Pete Hegseth in the frame. That is deliberate. That's a deliberate choice.
00:29:27.420 Guys, nothing in politics is by chance. So this was President Trump and his staff, right, his admin team, making a deliberate choice to not only have Marco Rubio sitting on his right side and Pete Hexeth sitting on his left side,
00:29:51.440 But also, they made the deliberate choice to have both of them in the frame at all times
00:30:02.240 when he's speaking.
00:30:05.180 That is sending a signal.
00:30:08.780 That is sending a message.
00:30:10.960 That's basically President Trump saying that anything that he's talking about, especially
00:30:17.920 when it comes to Iran and the conflict with the Islamic regime, President Trump wants the world
00:30:26.540 to know that the top two people who have his ear are Marco Rubio and Pete Hegseth. Marco Rubio,
00:30:38.960 of course, is Secretary of State. Pete Hegseth is the Secretary of War. And for those who are
00:30:44.780 asking, well, where's J.D. Vance? That's because it's the formality is that the vice president
00:30:54.860 sits directly opposite of President Trump. So if you don't see J.D. Vance here in the frame,
00:31:05.720 that's not like an attack on J.D. Vance, not at all. It's basically tradition and it's basically
00:31:11.960 accepted um uh like a you know convention it's it's an accepted convention that the vice president
00:31:21.940 will always sit directly opposite from the president so jd vance is directly opposite
00:31:29.740 from president trump but the fact that president trump chose to have pete hexath pete hexath and
00:31:38.740 DeMarco Rubio, not only beside him, but in the frame at all times, that says something.
00:31:52.320 They're going to be turned away. And if they get in, they're going to be moved out right away. So
00:31:56.500 it's been zero. You're the one that do, you do the reports. I'm actually surprised by the number
00:32:01.580 because I don't know how it can be zero, but they say it's zero for the last 12 months. In 2025,
00:32:07.180 we achieved the largest drop in the murder rate ever recorded. So the murder rate was
00:32:12.460 quite high. And we achieved the largest drop in the murder rate ever recorded to the lowest level
00:32:19.740 in 125 years. That's the year 1900. And that's despite the fact that many people came in from
00:32:25.720 prisons and from very rough countries and from mental institutions and from lots of other places,
00:32:32.300 drug dealers others they came in illegally during the biden administration we've gotten many of them
00:32:38.620 out but we still have some that we're looking for quite a few that we're still looking for but we've
00:32:43.420 gotten over 11 888 murders were allowed into our country we've gotten a lot of them out we've
00:32:50.460 gotten some we put them in jail we don't even trust the country to send them because they'll
00:32:54.780 come back in maybe we put them in jail 11,888 murders more than half of which
00:33:02.660 have committed more than one murder that's what they allowed and they should they can never be
00:33:07.580 forgotten for the horrible things they've done to this country fentanyl coming across our border
00:33:12.720 is now down by 61 61 and coming in by water by sea by ocean
00:33:21.260 okay so i actually do want to respond to this question so or this comment um because
00:33:33.560 mega katherine is saying no you are incorrect this is always the seating arrangement always
00:33:41.860 no it's not so mega katherine i looked this up and i will share this with you
00:33:51.540 okay and with everyone who is watching so i literally just did a search on x what is a
00:34:00.900 conventional seating arrangement for u.s cabinet meetings so u.s cabinet meetings conventionally
00:34:08.320 follow a strict protocol where seating is determined by the historical date each department
00:34:16.360 was established. The oldest departments sit closest to the president while the newer departments sit
00:34:24.940 further away. So the president and vice president. The president sits at the center of the oval
00:34:32.260 conference table on the east side of the room facing the west wing doors and rose garden.
00:34:37.000 Their chair is slightly taller than all the others.
00:34:40.940 The vice president sits directly opposite the president at the center of the west side of the table.
00:34:48.780 So up until that part, we're on the same page.
00:34:52.400 But here's where I'm telling you that it's a little different.
00:34:58.100 So around the table by department age.
00:35:01.380 The remaining cabinet members occupy brass plated chairs around the cabinet rooms table in the order of the following in the order of in the sorry, the remaining cabinet members occupy brass plated chairs around the cabinet rooms table in the following order of precedence to the president's right, the secretary of state.
00:35:28.340 So, let's see.
00:35:29.880 Who's to the right side of the president?
00:35:32.760 Oh, yes, look.
00:35:33.540 There's the Secretary of State, Marco Rubio.
00:35:36.760 Okay, let's go back to the explanation.
00:35:42.800 To the Vice President's right, the Secretary of the Treasury.
00:35:49.860 So, I can't see that right now.
00:35:52.180 Now, to the president's left, the Secretary of Defense.
00:35:58.380 Okay, so if we go back here, Marco, sorry, so Pete Hexeth isn't the Secretary of Defense.
00:36:10.480 He's a Secretary of War.
00:36:13.300 There's a difference there.
00:36:15.080 So the Department of War, it's true that it's taken over from the Department of Defense.
00:36:27.080 However, according to the convention, you're supposed to have the oldest or the second oldest department on the left side of the president.
00:36:49.900 And that technically would not be the department of war.
00:36:56.720 So there's an argument to be made there, right?
00:37:00.220 There's an argument to be made because Pete Hexeth is not technically the Secretary of Defense.
00:37:08.920 He's the Secretary of War.
00:37:10.900 So I'm just pointing out that the Department of War is technically a new department
00:37:18.420 because it was established after President Trump took office.
00:37:23.900 Yes, it assumed the role of the Department of Defense, but given that it's a newer department, that's all I'm pointing out.
00:37:37.360 I'm pointing out that according to, you know, if you wanted to follow the strict convention,
00:37:44.320 it technically wouldn't be Pete Hexet because President Trump got rid of the Department of
00:37:53.220 Defense and created a totally new Department of War, which didn't exist before. So that's all
00:38:03.440 I'm saying. Now, I mean, we can agree to disagree on this. That's fine. I'm just giving you my,
00:38:09.860 you know, interpretation and analysis on this. The point here, the point that I'm trying to make
00:38:17.700 is that even though the Department of War is technically new, President Trump is still
00:38:28.380 putting Pete Hexeth beside him.
00:38:33.120 And that's for a very good reason, right?
00:38:37.680 I mean, listen, it's okay if you disagree with me.
00:38:40.680 That's totally fine.
00:38:41.720 You can disagree with me.
00:38:43.440 But someone's saying it was called the Department of War
00:38:51.500 until the late 40s, until it was changed
00:38:53.760 to the Department of Defense.
00:38:55.800 Okay.
00:38:57.020 So the Department of War was the original.
00:39:05.060 It's not new.
00:39:11.900 Okay.
00:39:13.960 Let me look here.
00:39:17.420 All right.
00:39:18.360 I'm looking at your comments.
00:39:20.820 So it was originally the Department of War.
00:39:26.060 So, who changed it from Department of War to Department of Defense?
00:39:40.640 Change from war to defense post-World War II.
00:39:56.060 Okay, probably some leftist Truman Oh, it was Truman.
00:40:07.560 Oh, you know what?
00:40:08.760 Okay, wow.
00:40:14.160 Let's look this up together because this is now.
00:40:17.060 Well, guys, now I am very interested.
00:40:20.860 I know this has nothing to do with the meeting, but I'm interested to know.
00:40:23.760 So who changed it?
00:40:26.060 All right, let's look this up together.
00:40:44.820 Okay, so it was Truman.
00:40:46.440 Truman.
00:40:56.060 Oh, wow. Look at this. Okay.
00:41:05.920 Guys, I learned something new. Oh my gosh. See, this is why I do this with you guys, because
00:41:12.840 you guys always like teach me something new. Look at this. Okay. So apparently,
00:41:19.780 So it was Truman. Look at this. Wait.
00:41:49.780 Oh, of course, of course. Truman was a Democrat. Makes sense. So look at this. So Truman signed
00:42:02.340 the National Security Act in 1947 to change the War Department to the Department of Defense.
00:42:09.980 The change was made to centralize, unify, and improve the coordination of the U.S.
00:42:14.340 armed forces following the lessons of world war ii wow note on recent history in september 2025
00:42:23.860 president donald trump signed executive order 14347 which authorized department of war as an
00:42:33.060 official secondary title for the department of defense in order to project a stronger readiness
00:42:39.620 posture however the official legal designation of the department remains the u.s department of
00:42:47.300 defense as an act of congress would be required for a complete permanent name oh my gosh guys
00:42:54.260 i learned something new wow okay so there you go
00:43:00.100 go. There you go, guys. All right. Everyone, everyone needs to put a K in the chat for
00:43:14.540 Mega Catherine. Thank you for that. I had no idea that this was just like, just like
00:43:24.660 like an official secondary title. And now I know. Wow. Thank you for
00:43:35.760 that, Kay. Okay, thank you. There you go, guys, I learned
00:43:40.580 something new. Okay. So however, it still doesn't really change my
00:43:48.760 analysis all that much. And the reason it doesn't change my
00:43:52.940 analysis is because regardless of, you know, the convention, the fact that President Trump has
00:44:01.660 chosen Marco Rubio to be the Secretary of State and Pete Hexas to be the Secretary of War.
00:44:13.940 That is significant in and of itself. And going back to what I was explaining about
00:44:22.620 President Trump and his team, always making sure that when President Trump is speaking,
00:44:30.640 both Marco Rubio and Pete Hexeth are in the frame, that's a big deal. Because if you recall,
00:44:41.340 Marco Rubio has taken a very strong stance against the Islamic regime and Pete Hexeth,
00:44:50.900 among other things, has that tattoo on his arm that says in Arabic, kafar, which means infidel,
00:45:02.540 right? So the fact that President Trump has chosen someone as his Secretary of War or Secretary of
00:45:12.800 Defense, who has kawfar, which is basically the Islamic Arabic word for infidel, sitting
00:45:22.620 next to him, right? These choices matter, and the framing matters very, very much. So
00:45:30.920 yeah, we're all proud kawfars here. Anyways, let's continue. But okay, good to know. You
00:45:40.620 You know what? I'm actually glad that President Trump changed the name of the Department of Defense back to the Department of War.
00:45:52.380 In fact, fun fact, during the Shah's time, back in the 1970s, we also had a Ministry of War and a Minister of War.
00:46:04.860 So very, very cool. Very, very cool.
00:46:09.180 Over 11,888 murders were allowed into our country. We've gotten a lot of them out. We've
00:46:15.180 gotten some. We put them in jail. We don't even trust. Oh, wait, someone's asking if Pete Hegseth
00:46:19.900 has a Kofar tattoo. Yeah, he does. Here, look. It's actually a really good one.
00:46:38.220 Where is it?
00:46:40.320 Let me find it for you guys.
00:46:47.560 Let me find like a high quality photo of this.
00:46:50.140 there you go so that's pete hex that pete hex head set arm and you can see it says
00:47:14.480 kafar, which means infidel. So yeah, that's Pete Hexeth right there. And he's got the kafar
00:47:28.620 tattoo. So this is the full image of him. So you can see, yeah, Pete Hexeth is literally
00:47:36.560 the Durka killer. And he literally has kafar tattooed in Arabic on his arm.
00:47:44.480 So this is the guy that is the United States Minister of War.
00:47:51.920 And he's the person that President Trump has chosen to sit beside him.
00:48:00.840 That means something.
00:48:05.280 The country to send them because they'll come back in maybe.
00:48:09.340 We put them in jail.
00:48:11.400 11,888 murders, more than half of which have committed more than one murder.
00:48:17.360 That's what they allowed in.
00:48:18.440 They can never be forgotten for the horrible things they've done to this country.
00:48:23.380 Fentanyl coming across our border is now down by 61 percent, 61 percent.
00:48:30.040 And coming in by water, by sea, by ocean is down 97 percent.
00:48:37.560 Can you imagine?
00:48:38.140 Thanks to our Republican majorities in Congress, we passed the largest tax cuts in American history.
00:48:45.040 All Democrats voted against the tax cuts, putting more money in Americans' pockets.
00:48:49.820 This year, the typical family got tax refunds of nearly almost close to $5,000.
00:48:56.700 The stock market has set 68 all-time record highs since the election.
00:49:02.160 So 68 days, we hit all-time highs. We're right there now.
00:49:05.840 and the average 401k and that's despite the conflict i don't call it a war i call it a
00:49:11.980 conflict despite the conflict with venezuela who no longer has a navy no longer has an air force
00:49:18.980 no longer has a lot of people that were leading the country into very bad places
00:49:24.760 their leadership is gone their second rung leadership is gone and we're dealing with
00:49:30.160 their third half of their third because half of their third is gone the average 401k is up
00:49:35.620 almost $30,000 since I took office.
00:49:39.460 So the Americans are benefiting working today.
00:49:42.880 We have the most working,
00:49:44.160 and we have 401ks at their all-time high.
00:49:47.260 Highest they've ever been.
00:49:49.540 And that goes along with the stock market,
00:49:51.180 which is the highest it's ever been.
00:49:53.460 Under my most favorite nation agreements,
00:49:55.440 this is something that I wish the media would talk about,
00:49:59.080 because to me, it's one of the biggest things
00:50:00.580 ever to happen in our country,
00:50:02.720 certainly as to medical.
00:50:04.940 anything having to do with medical, because drug prices, we're delivering record-setting
00:50:10.540 discounts on prescription drugs with price differences of 400, 500, and even 600 percent
00:50:17.200 at the TrumpRx.gov. We recently added nearly 1,000 low-cost generics to the website. So
00:50:26.340 we have drugs down 400, 500, 600 percent. Now you could say eight.
00:50:31.600 So I am only going to comment on the part about Iran, but we're just going to play the whole thing.
00:50:38.960 But a pill that would sell in Germany or, let's say, in London for $10 was selling for here for $130.
00:50:49.640 And I got the countries to all agree.
00:50:51.960 Otherwise, they would have had to pay big tariffs.
00:50:55.480 I don't want to go into it, but I had some very interesting discussions.
00:50:58.420 They said vehemently no.
00:50:59.780 And then when I said, that's all right, we're going to charge you 50 percent tariff on everything you sell into America.
00:51:05.720 They said, well, like we said, we'll say yes.
00:51:08.800 And every single country agreed and every drug company agreed.
00:51:12.900 So we have most favorite nations.
00:51:14.480 So we were paying the highest drug prices in the world.
00:51:17.160 Now we're paying the lowest drug prices in the world.
00:51:19.340 So that pill that I talked about, we go from $10 to 20.
00:51:23.560 The world is bigger than the U.S. Hard to believe, but it's true.
00:51:27.820 So it's not like you cut it in the middle.
00:51:30.260 You just had to go up a little bit.
00:51:32.480 But a little bit is a doubling of a price.
00:51:34.240 So a little bit's a lot.
00:51:36.240 So the pill would go from $10 to $20.
00:51:40.740 And we'd go from $130 to $20.
00:51:45.140 Think of that.
00:51:46.700 So we would get, if you remember, some of you were at the news conference.
00:51:50.020 I had my first term where I got the prices down one-eighth of a percent, one-quarter, one-eighth of a percent my first term.
00:51:56.360 and I'm so proud of it because drug prices hadn't come down in 28 years
00:52:01.000 and I was the first one to do it.
00:52:03.200 But now I'm getting them down not one-eighth of a percent.
00:52:06.320 I'm getting them down 400, 500, 600.
00:52:09.080 Or if you want to use it a different way, you could say 70%, 80%, 90%, 50%.
00:52:15.200 Nobody's ever seen anything like it.
00:52:18.000 And I got that through, well, everybody knew it was taking place,
00:52:23.560 But we paid the highest prices anywhere in the world.
00:52:26.880 Now we're paying the lowest prices anywhere in the world.
00:52:30.440 And the press reviews us to write about it.
00:52:32.560 I think it's the biggest thing.
00:52:33.780 And for health care, you know, so much of it is prescription drug prices and drug prices.
00:52:38.680 And with them coming down, the health care is going to come down very substantially.
00:52:42.360 We recently added nearly 1,000 low-cost generics, too, as I said.
00:52:46.100 And that's, you know, 1,000 drugs.
00:52:50.300 And it's all on. And this was not a this was not given by me.
00:52:55.680 This was given by Dr. Oz and Bobby. And I, you know, wasn't sure whether or not I love the idea.
00:53:01.660 But they said we want to use Trump. TrumpRx.gov is what it is.
00:53:06.680 And it's the hottest site, I think, anywhere on the planet, from what I understand, Bobby. Right.
00:53:11.120 It's really great. People are calling up and they're buying drugs for a fraction, for literally a fraction of the price.
00:53:16.540 and it should be the biggest story and on that alone we should win the midterms
00:53:21.040 on that alone we should win the midterms but the press doesn't talk about it's the biggest thing
00:53:26.140 to happen in the drug industry ever maybe ever and the press doesn't even want to write stories
00:53:31.220 about it we made the largest ever investment in u.s military one trillion dollars and we're
00:53:36.440 asking actually for 1.5 trillion for the coming year and we have the strongest military anywhere
00:53:42.900 in the world as you know you saw what we did with venezuela that worked out very quickly and we
00:53:49.860 were doing really equally as well with uh but again people don't want to write about it with
00:53:55.780 iran iran is very much intent they want very much to make a deal so far they haven't gotten there
00:54:02.740 that we're not satisfied with it but then we will be we will be either that or we'll have to just
00:54:08.080 finish the job but uh then so for those of you who watched um iran revolution live earlier today
00:54:16.620 but also if you watched my commentary and political analysis of marco rubio's senate hearing
00:54:24.040 yesterday marco rubio gave the perfect explanation as to why um it's difficult to make a deal with
00:54:34.420 the Islamic regime. And that's because of the internal divisions. And I've explained all of
00:54:40.900 that. But pretty much Marco Rubio confirmed everything that I've been saying for the last
00:54:45.660 several months where the Islamic regime occupying Iran, because they have now been divided internally,
00:54:54.580 you have various factions, you have various camps, they're all fighting one another.
00:54:58.960 And earlier today, earlier yesterday, Marco Rubio in his Senate hearing, he actually said that he said, you know, the people that they're dealing with, which is Araqchi and Qalibaf, you know, they seem like reasonable people, although Marco Rubio has also said there's no moderates.
00:55:18.560 Right. But Maqra Ryu has said, you know, the people that they're dealing with, Arakchi and Alibaf, they'll agree to whatever the United States wants, but then they'll go back.
00:55:28.080 And there are elements within the Islamic regime and the IRGC who fundamentally disagree.
00:55:33.780 And then, you know, for like so Arakchi or Alibaf will come back and be like, yeah, you know, like we have a deal.
00:55:39.220 And then they'll go take the terms and then they'll come back five days later and say, no, no, nothing, no deal.
00:55:45.100 and then they also post like garbage jihadi dirka posts on on their social media accounts on x and
00:55:52.380 other places and we will dive into that a bit more but um yeah so when president trump says
00:55:57.760 they want to make a deal badly he's 100 accurate and that's because marco rubio is in charge of
00:56:06.460 the iran file and so marco rubio knows exactly what's going on with the state of the negotiations
00:56:12.800 And he's called out the Islamic regime and confirmed the internal divisions and internal factions within within the system.
00:56:23.620 Navy is gone, as I've said a thousand times.
00:56:25.660 And Navy is gone.
00:56:26.620 Their air force is gone.
00:56:28.300 Everything's gone.
00:56:29.300 And they're negotiating on fumes.
00:56:32.440 But we'll see what happens.
00:56:33.980 Maybe we have to go back and finish it.
00:56:35.540 Maybe we don't.
00:56:36.700 Right now.
00:56:38.380 I mean, you can speak to Steve Woodcoff and Jared doing a good job.
00:56:42.480 But right now, I think it looks like they want to just make a deal.
00:56:47.700 They want to.
00:56:48.300 I don't think they have a choice.
00:56:49.800 They're just going back to the Internet because they're getting clobbered.
00:56:52.340 Their economy is in free fall.
00:56:55.700 They have 250 percent inflation.
00:56:58.660 Their money has no value.
00:57:00.620 Their whole economic system is.
00:57:03.440 Yeah. So, guys, keep in mind, this entire revolution began with the collapse of the real, right? Let me pull up the video again. This would be December 28. So, let me see if I can find some videos for you from December 28.
00:57:26.440 So what is that?
00:57:56.440 nope let me find it here
00:58:01.400 where are the video where's the footage from december 28th so
00:58:09.940 all right let me just find something really quick on x for you
00:58:26.440 like all everything that's happening right now is literally because of um the collapse of the real
00:58:39.160 where is it
00:58:41.800 it. Here we go. Here we go. I found one video. Okay. So this is how it all began, guys.
00:59:03.340 okay so on on december 28 the rial which is the currency of of iran dropped to a historic low
00:59:19.400 of one u.s dollar is the equivalent of 1.4 million rials okay and so iranians just
00:59:31.900 took to the streets. They began striking against the failed economic policies of the Islamic
00:59:39.820 regime. This was back on December 28. Within 24 hours, the protests went from nationwide strikes
00:59:49.160 to nationwide calls to overthrow the Islamic regime.
00:59:53.680 and then what they're chanting here is
01:00:00.720 which means don't be afraid
01:00:06.540 don't be afraid
01:00:07.820 we're all together
01:00:09.700 and basically so Iranians are saying
01:00:11.640 don't be afraid of the Islamic regime
01:00:13.440 we're all together
01:00:14.700 there's strength in numbers
01:00:16.340 and the reason they're saying don't be afraid don't be afraid we're all in this together is
01:00:33.720 because um the shopkeepers who are striking are encouraging other shopkeepers to go on strike as
01:00:40.180 well and they're saying don't be afraid we're all in this together um and their strength in numbers
01:00:46.340 And then, you know, within 24 hours, it went from these chants about the economic collapse
01:01:03.760 of the Rial and increasing inflation to revolution, calls for regime change, and of course,
01:01:12.160 calling for the return of the Shah of Iran,
01:01:16.200 His Royal Highness Rizal Pahlavi.
01:01:18.500 So going back to President Trump,
01:01:20.420 when he is here speaking about the collapse of the economy
01:01:25.220 and how inflation has gone through the roof,
01:01:29.220 yep, that's what he's talking about.
01:01:30.740 And in fact, inflation has become even worse.
01:01:33.860 And the real is worth even less today.
01:01:37.020 Yeah, I don't think they have a choice.
01:01:38.400 They're just going back to the internet
01:01:39.660 because they're getting clobbered,
01:01:40.880 their economy is in freefall. They have 250% inflation. Their money has no value. Their whole
01:01:49.900 economic system is broken down. They thought they were going to outweigh me. We'll outweigh
01:01:56.100 him. He's got the midterms. I don't care about the midterms. Look what happened last night. That
01:01:59.780 was the prelude to the midterms. People understand it. They know that, very simple, Iran cannot have
01:02:06.240 a nuclear weapon. I'm doing that for the world. I'm not doing it just for us. And we've had
01:02:10.640 great support from other nations, by the way. We don't need it at all, but we've had great support
01:02:16.180 from other nations. The problem is you always get the support when you don't need it. When you need
01:02:20.380 it, you don't get the support. With Operation Epic Fury, our warriors are ensuring that the
01:02:24.420 world's number one state sponsor of terror never obtains a nuclear weapon, and they won't.
01:02:30.820 Under the leadership of Vice President J.D. Vance, very proud of this, the White House task force
01:02:36.920 to eliminate fraud is waging war on waste fraud, theft, and abuse
01:02:41.880 like nobody's ever seen before.
01:02:44.800 He looks like Elliot Ness.
01:02:46.180 Do you ever see Elliot Ness?
01:02:48.060 I'm telling you, the guys that are up there,
01:02:49.940 Rural Central Casting, they're standing behind.
01:02:52.340 What a group of people.
01:02:54.300 No, it looks like a movie.
01:02:55.340 I'm going to make a movie out of it, I think.
01:02:57.300 And they're fining billions and billions and billions of dollars.
01:03:01.200 And I just said, that's good.
01:03:02.500 He said, you haven't seen anything yet.
01:03:04.780 Just said that.
01:03:05.460 and you know if he does really great we'll have a balanced budget without having to do anything
01:03:10.400 this is the kind of money they stole they're crooks they're thieves and i hope that todd is
01:03:16.780 going to do a real job these are crooked people these are thieves this isn't like a mistake
01:03:21.260 i'm just talking about one person he got hundreds of thousands millions of dollars
01:03:27.300 for securing one man for taking care of one elderly man he was a service he got paid millions
01:03:35.440 of dollars for taking care of one man total crook they're all crooks wild the somalians are what
01:03:42.040 they've done to minnesota the somalians crooked as hell ilan omar crooked as hell they're all crooks
01:03:50.160 and we got them we got them now we're putting the clamps on but boy i tell you that's an
01:03:55.380 impressive group of guys that you have behind you i was watching that and a couple of very strong
01:04:01.180 women too. But I was watching that last night. I said, I'm proud of you guys. In two months,
01:04:06.800 we've exposed tens of billions of dollars of defrauded taxpayer money, prosecuted numerous
01:04:11.580 fraudsters, Todd, and stopped billions of suspicious payments. Very suspicious. Oh,
01:04:17.460 you haven't seen anything yet. What do you see? I'm getting reports from Todd, from JD.
01:04:23.020 I've never seen anything like it. The kind of just hundreds of billions of dollars were stolen
01:04:30.180 And no other administration would do what we're doing.
01:04:32.820 They'd let it go.
01:04:34.540 Everybody was getting rich.
01:04:36.860 And I think we have a chance to save Social Security without doing anything to it.
01:04:40.860 Just the numbers of fraudulent people on Social Security, people that are 115 years old, 125 years old, getting payments.
01:04:53.060 It's funny.
01:04:53.760 I said, oh, do those payments get turned back?
01:04:55.620 No, they accept them.
01:04:56.840 Somebody's getting the payment.
01:04:58.460 It's not a person that's 125 years old, but that's the least of it.
01:05:02.720 The numbers that we're finding out, we have great people at Social Security.
01:05:05.960 We're going to make our Social Security so strong, so good, that you never say anything like it.
01:05:13.520 We're going to protect.
01:05:14.180 I said right from the beginning, we're going to protect our people at Social Security.
01:05:18.660 If the Democrats ever got in, you wouldn't have said Social Security would be bankrupt.
01:05:22.980 People wouldn't be getting anything.
01:05:24.220 Last week, they took down two of the largest Medicaid fraud cases in Minnesota history, as well as the largest autism fraud case ever charged by the federal government.
01:05:34.640 You saw that with millions of dollars just being stolen.
01:05:37.880 Everybody had autism.
01:05:39.680 Everybody had autism.
01:05:41.060 They said.
01:05:43.060 It was incredible, actually.
01:05:46.380 And I really, I mean, I've just seen some, I see what they're doing.
01:05:50.820 You haven't seen anything yet.
01:05:52.680 So congratulations, JJ. Be vicious like they are. They're violent people. They're violent, vicious scum.
01:06:01.060 Before asking Vice President Vance to speak about these efforts, I want to express our tremendous gratitude to our outgoing director.
01:06:08.660 You know, it really says something when President Trump refers to people from a certain country or community as scum.
01:06:17.100 Have you noticed who he does not refer to as scum? The Iranian people.
01:06:21.300 In fact, President Trump and Marco Rubio and many others have always made a distinction and difference between the Iranian people and the Islamic regime.
01:06:36.820 Right. Keep that in mind.
01:06:41.380 National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, who's a terrific person, actually.
01:06:51.300 She's come up with some findings that were pretty good.
01:06:58.080 And Tulsi's worked tirelessly to restore trust and focus on the intelligence and with the
01:07:03.920 intelligence community.
01:07:05.240 They all respected her.
01:07:06.700 They listened to her.
01:07:07.700 She gave us leads that were pretty much ... People thought they were dead and they weren't
01:07:12.720 dead.
01:07:13.720 They were right there.
01:07:14.720 And she was able to expose a lot of things that we used at the FBI with Cash and with
01:07:18.640 Todd and with JD and everybody else was amazing. She dramatically reformed the Office of Director
01:07:25.120 of National Intelligence and cutting the staff by 40 percent. And she prevented countless terrorists
01:07:30.800 and cartel members from entering the United States. She exposed mountains of evidence related
01:07:36.480 to the Russia, Russia, Russia hoax, one of the probably the greatest hoax in the history of our
01:07:40.880 country. Although when you look at the fraud coming out, there's a lot of them. I mean,
01:07:45.440 I mean, honestly, there's a lot of them, but the Russia, Russia, Russia hoax, a great hoax,
01:07:49.980 a very dangerous hoax, too, and revoked security clearances of officials involved.
01:07:55.160 And she declassified numerous historic documents of special public interest,
01:07:59.920 including related to the JFK and RFK assassinations, which everybody wanted to see.
01:08:05.580 And we're now releasing a lot of things having to do with space.
01:08:10.020 You know, it's people are very interested in that.
01:08:12.780 yeah if anyone wants to know more about what president trump is you know releasing and the
01:08:20.600 u.s is releasing about space um that's not something that i can comment on but i know that
01:08:26.960 my sister rose she is working on some future videos to explain all of the um space stuff so
01:08:36.680 if you're interested in learning more about that, you want to follow her YouTube channel,
01:08:43.640 the Gamma Ray Report. So I'll put the link in the comments. Go give her a follow because I know that
01:08:51.640 at some point in the future, I don't exactly know when, but she will be doing like a video
01:08:58.140 or an explanation or something about all like the UFO and space stuff that President Trump
01:09:06.100 has released through the White House, which I find really fascinating.
01:09:10.580 It's just not something that I can comment on because I'm not like a space person,
01:09:16.000 although I think it's really cool.
01:09:19.580 Actually became the number one topic.
01:09:22.600 We're releasing a lot of information having to do with extraterrestrial things,
01:09:29.720 and people are totally fascinated by it.
01:09:33.140 It's amazing.
01:09:33.880 Yeah, I am.
01:09:34.380 and sure they would enjoy it it's literally trending number one can you believe it so a lot
01:09:41.180 of people out there are like it but we're releasing all of that information and tulsi we're praying for
01:09:46.220 you and for your husband her husband's not feeling great but he's going to feel great soon you're
01:09:50.300 going to make him you're going to get him better and he's a wonderful guy so just say hello and
01:09:55.500 thank you for the great work you've done we appreciate it thank you very much
01:09:59.420 and now i'd like to ask jd to say a few words about the war and fraud followed by acting
01:10:04.860 attorney general todd blanche who's doing fantastically and secretary of state marco
01:10:09.340 rubio another one i mean we have great people and the secretary of war pete hanks said central
01:10:15.340 casting he's he loves war i don't like that he's a good man that one and uh scott besant you talk
01:10:25.100 about a guy doing a job it's been fantastic thank you scott really fantastic and a lot of the success
01:10:32.140 that we're having with other countries is what you've been able to do and find an sba administrator
01:10:38.380 kelly loffler and all of the people here have been great we're going to just do those for you
01:10:42.940 and maybe if you have some questions we'll go to others but everybody around here has got a lot to
01:10:47.180 say but we did that once and it lasted for like four or five hours it was a little much we want
01:10:53.580 to be open now if i do it this way they'll say he didn't let anybody talk uh but uh let's start
01:11:00.620 with jd and you can talk about a really really important thing uh bringing our country back to
01:11:06.940 honesty a tremendous amount of money is involved go ahead yes sir well uh first of all thank you
01:11:13.100 for your leadership sir for making it possible i often find in the fraud task force that sometimes
01:11:18.140 there are barriers that we need to break down the agencies that need to coordinate and i'll come to
01:11:21.420 to the president and say, Mr. President, I need your permission to do, he'll say, for what? For
01:11:25.720 the fraud task force? And he'll cut me off and say, yes, go do it. So the fact that we have
01:11:29.760 dedicated presidential leadership is really what's made this possible because it does require,
01:11:34.420 we've got great people around the table, but sometimes these agencies don't know how to work
01:11:37.960 together at the lower level. And that's one of the things we've... So I know the fraud issue is
01:11:43.000 really important, but I do want to focus on Iran. So I'm going to respectfully skip through what
01:11:51.340 JD Vance is saying so we can get through, get to the rest of the stuff on Iran.
01:12:00.140 A better place for every citizen in this country and save money, a lot of money.
01:12:04.700 Billions of dollars.
01:12:05.820 And also it's the right thing to do for our tax dollars, Mr. President.
01:12:09.740 And billions of dollars was given out just very quickly before Biden left office. Billions and
01:12:16.460 billions were given out. And I mean, I know of many cases, but one, I don't know what's happened
01:12:21.740 with it, but I think you're looking at it. I know Lee was involved in it environmentally.
01:12:26.300 Stacey Abrams was given $2 billion for an account that had $103 in environmental fraud, I guess.
01:12:34.940 And she had $103 in this newly opened account. And before leaving business, they put $2 billion
01:12:43.260 dollars into the account, and they had no reason for existence. They were unable to say what they
01:12:48.520 did with it. $2 billion. Lee, do you want to just mention something about that?
01:12:53.160 Thanks for your leadership, Mr. President. That was canceled, and they no longer have access to
01:12:58.580 that $2 billion. They wanted that money. Go ahead. In fact, it was over $29 billion that
01:13:07.400 have now been canceled at EPA. You told us to make it a priority. Now this happened. As soon
01:13:13.020 as you came in, after the election, before your inauguration, the dollars up, it's under
01:13:18.520 core, great, great team effort.
01:13:22.640 And we're building more, most importantly, we're building more factories and plants in
01:13:26.840 the United States now than at any time ever before.
01:13:30.040 $18 trillion coming in, that's not including the 12th month, that's 11.
01:13:35.280 And I say it often that the Biden administration had much less than $1 trillion, and we have
01:13:39.520 18 trillion and uh when those numbers those final numbers come up they'll be even higher than that
01:13:45.040 that's a record in the history of the world no country has ever done that and that money's going
01:13:50.080 into plants and you um i just want to pull up a comment here saying uh this fraud thing wouldn't
01:13:59.680 be happening without people like you goldie so first of all you're obviously a troll um
01:14:07.360 Um, but there's also something I want to show up. Uh, I want to share with you since you want
01:14:14.400 to make these smart ass comments here. Um, let me pull up that graph.
01:14:24.720 Let me just find the graph and I'm going to pull it up here because this will, you know,
01:14:28.480 shut you up for good so you know there's this like um viral graph that you know is going around um
01:14:40.080 where it's uh you know food stamps by ethnicity right
01:14:49.840 here we go so food stamps by ethnicity right um let's look at this graph of food stamps by
01:15:04.900 ethnicity. Um, oh, oh, I see. I see. Okay. So, all right. Well, that's fine. That's okay. If it's
01:15:21.120 a miscommunication, then that's totally cool. But this is actually a good opportunity to bring this
01:15:26.700 up anyway. Well, guys, that's why, that's why I don't like, I don't attack. I don't block. We're
01:15:31.080 here to have a debate. But this is a good opportunity to speak about this, actually,
01:15:35.980 because I know that a lot of people have been sharing this chart of, you know, food stamps by
01:15:42.380 ethnicity, percentage of U.S. households receiving SNAP benefits. You know, the number one is Afghan,
01:15:52.320 you know, 45.6%. Somali is 42.4%. Then you have, you know, Iraqi, Dominican, Caribbean native,
01:16:02.720 which, you know, that's totally fine because it's, you know, Americans. And then you have
01:16:08.420 all these other ethnicities as well. Guess which ethnicity do you not see on the graph?
01:16:15.980 So just this one here. Which ethnicity is not on this graph?
01:16:45.980 Yeah, no Iranians. There you go. That's because the Iranian people, right, wherever we immigrate
01:17:00.560 to, we literally improve the society. Literally every single, any single country that we immigrate
01:17:10.120 to, we actually improve the country because we contribute to society. So that's why you don't
01:17:17.080 see Iranian on the graph here. So just keep in mind, keep in mind, like, you know, and you know,
01:17:24.200 this isn't, this is literally just like, you know, data. So there you go. No Iranians on the graph.
01:17:37.000 So, I would say that any society that has Iranians in there is a very lucky society.
01:17:50.000 Because we're one of the hard-working demographics out there.
01:18:00.000 And the vast, you know, the reason that the vast majority of us have left occupied Iran is because we're literally escaping the Durqa jihadi Muslims.
01:18:13.000 and we're escaping to regular normal countries because we just want to live regular normal lives
01:18:21.360 and we integrate and assimilate very very well because the values that we as Iranians have
01:18:29.960 are pretty much the exact same values as those of modern western secular democracies
01:18:38.600 Because a lot of the values that currently exist in Western societies, for example, the concept of equality between men and women, these values existed in the Persian Empire 2,500 years ago.
01:18:55.180 And it was only when the Arab Muslim conquerors came in 650 AD that they took these values away from us and, you know, imposed their Sharia law, which we all know how that went.
01:19:11.240 But yeah. All right. So mistranslation, all good, but it did give me an opportunity to share this
01:19:18.880 graph and point out that no Iranians on these. And that's also why even though Iran is occupied
01:19:29.840 by Muslim Nazis and has been occupied by Muslim Nazis for the last 47 years,
01:19:35.000 there's no Iranian refugee crisis right why is that why is it that there's no
01:19:41.180 Iranian refugee crisis think about that
01:19:51.140 we're giving them very fast approvals thorough and environmentally correct but
01:19:56.060 fast approvals you're doing a fantastic job thank you very much another man
01:20:00.820 doing a fantastic job, I think we all agree, is Marco. You're all over the place, right? I watched
01:20:05.880 you last night in three different locations. So tell us about Iran. Well, first of all,
01:20:11.660 the bottom line is Iran's never going to have a nuclear weapon. And if recent events have done
01:20:15.580 anything, it's just remind us once again that they are the world's leading sponsor of terrorism.
01:20:20.300 And they can never have a nuclear weapon. Now, the president's preference, Mr. President,
01:20:24.460 your preference has told us repeatedly, is always to negotiate these things and to figure out if
01:20:28.280 we can have agreements. Diplomacy is always the first option. And we continue to work on that
01:20:33.100 through your envoys, Mr. Woodcoff and Kushner and others, Vice President, who have been very
01:20:37.980 involved. And if there's an agreement to be made, we want that to be made. I think there's been
01:20:42.080 some progress and some interest. And we'll see over the next few hours and days whether progress
01:20:46.300 could be made. I just want to remind everybody, Mr. President, you know this well, you have other
01:20:50.160 options available to you if that doesn't work. But the bottom line is that we prefer the negotiated
01:20:55.520 diplomatic route, and we're going to give it every chance to succeed. I know you're giving
01:20:59.240 it every chance to succeed, Mr. President. But here's the bottom line, because I keep getting
01:21:02.620 asked, what is this all about? It's very simple. Iran and these people in charge of Iran can never
01:21:07.760 have a nuclear weapon, and they will never have a nuclear weapon, and they most certainly will not
01:21:11.380 have one as long as you're President of the United States. On that point, it's very clear.
01:21:15.520 Just two quick things I want to touch upon. One, you touched upon the border and security. Part of
01:21:19.900 securing our border is dealing with the people that are in this country unlawfully, many of whom
01:21:24.940 do not want to go back to the country that they originally came from for a variety of reasons.
01:21:29.000 Either we can't send them there or some judge ties us up. And one of the key things we have
01:21:33.020 achieved is now 20 countries have signed third country national agreements, meaning these are
01:21:38.060 safe countries where individuals who refuse to go back to their country of origin can be sent to
01:21:42.760 that country instead. We've gotten 20 countries now around the world who have signed agreements
01:21:46.880 that allow us to deport people to those places. What often happens when you go to the person who's
01:21:52.560 here lawfully and say, we're going to send you to this third country, is all of a sudden they decide
01:21:56.680 they'd rather go back to their home country instead. So it gives the ability to enforce all
01:22:01.160 laws. And we work very closely with the Department of Homeland Security on that front. Something else
01:22:05.280 that I know is concerning people, because it's on the news, is Ebola. Our number one obligation,
01:22:10.600 you know, we're involved in foreign policy, but even our foreign policy, the number one
01:22:13.920 priority of our foreign policy is to protect the American people. We cannot and will not allow any
01:22:19.000 cases of Ebola to enter the United States. And so we're very, the State
01:22:22.840 Department and other agencies represented here, the Centers for
01:22:25.940 Disease Control, HHS, others are working very, very hard to contain this
01:22:31.180 crisis to the countries where it's currently located, particularly the
01:22:33.900 Democratic Republic of the Congo. And so we've searched assistance to make
01:22:38.760 sure that that is being contained there. And obviously multiple agencies
01:22:42.800 involved here are also very involved in tracking people just to make sure that
01:22:46.280 nobody comes into this country that has Ebola and creates a problem for us. And we feel like
01:22:50.840 we've got good efforts in place to do that. And Americans should feel assured that the president
01:22:55.220 and his administration is doing everything we can to protect them on that front. My last point
01:22:59.160 said I was all over the place. One of the places I stopped in last night was to initial
01:23:02.740 the Trump route for prosperity in Armenia. This is a key linchpin of the peace deal that you were
01:23:10.760 able to achieve between Armenia and Azerbaijan. And in addition to that, we also signed the
01:23:15.160 critical minerals, MOU with them, and a strategic engagement one as well. So just a reminder of
01:23:21.880 another war you helped settle, Mr. President. But from that, now we are seeing the emergence
01:23:27.240 of a great new relationship with Armenia that really had grown stagnant for a very long period
01:23:32.340 of time. So guys, this new relationship with Armenia is more important than you think.
01:23:45.160 Because Armenia has, for a long time, sort of been, you know, working with or trying to appease the Islamic regime occupying Iran, right?
01:24:04.400 Like when you look at the map, Armenia, Armenia is a small landlocked country that shares a border with the Islamic regime.
01:24:17.180 And because it's such a small country, it's always tried to appease.
01:24:23.960 It's always tried to appease the Islamic regime.
01:24:26.780 So the fact that Marco Rubio went to Armenia, and then of course, you know, they're talking about Armenia and Azerbaijan, that is in and of itself sending another message to the Islamic regime occupying Iran.
01:24:47.260 I have a feeling that part of the conversations also included, you know, what to expect when the Islamic regime is overthrown, because we are in the midst of seeing some fundamental and, you know, very, very consequential changes in the Middle East.
01:25:11.360 So that's why Marco Rubio went to Armenia, okay?
01:25:17.980 It's not just about what they're saying openly in public.
01:25:22.300 It's also about the conversations they're having behind the scenes.
01:25:28.140 And again, Armenia, small landlocked country, borders Iran.
01:25:32.820 And traditionally, Armenia, because, you know, Armenia's, you know, and no offense to Armenians,
01:25:42.540 right? Like, I'm not saying this to offend anyone. But when you're when you're analyzing
01:25:46.140 sort of geopolitics, Armenia is not really a big player on the global scale. Armenia is just,
01:25:55.240 you know, basically trying to just, you know, be on friendly terms with everyone because it's not
01:26:03.700 exactly like a global powerhouse or anything. So I have a feeling that Marco Rubio going to Armenia
01:26:10.520 was also basically kind of like to give them peace of mind that, you know, when there's this
01:26:20.200 fundamental shift in power structure with an occupied Iran, like Armenia is going to be okay.
01:26:27.160 Why? Because Turkey, Turkey might actually try to take advantage of any sort of instability or chaos
01:26:35.700 happening in occupied Iran to use that opportunity to go after Armenia. And Marco Rubio is pretty
01:26:43.860 much telling Armenia that's not going to happen. And so that's why right now Marco Rubio is in
01:26:54.340 the cabinet meeting talking about this renewed relationship with Armenia and, you know, this
01:27:02.240 strength, right, this powerful bond and, you know, this strength in relationship that Armenia
01:27:10.800 and the United States have because normally you wouldn't really like Armenia is not a big player
01:27:19.420 on the international geopolitical scale. However, in this case, Armenia does play an important role
01:27:27.040 and Marco Rubio going to Armenia, that is sending a signal not just to the Islamic regime occupying
01:27:36.540 Iran. It's also sending a signal to Turkey that Armenia is here to stay and you're not going to
01:27:45.100 be able to go after Armenia and use sort of the chaos to go after Armenians in Armenia, right?
01:27:57.060 Like we don't want another Armenian genocide essentially. So I just wanted to point that out
01:28:02.460 as well these represented here the centers for disease control hhs others are working very very
01:28:15.260 hard to contain this crisis to the countries where it's currently located particularly the
01:28:20.300 democratic republic yeah it's it's also sending a signal to russia as well absolutely but um not
01:28:26.860 not as big of a signal to russia only because if you look at the map like armenia like
01:28:34.060 like georgia georgia is basically acting as a barrier right so um this is uh what this is russia
01:28:41.340 here so georgia is still acting as a barrier um between um russia and armenia armenia's
01:28:51.100 biggest concern right now is Turkey. It's Turkey.
01:29:02.860 And so we've searched assistance to make sure that that is being contained there. And obviously
01:29:08.680 multiple agencies involved here are also very involved in tracking people just to make sure
01:29:13.040 that nobody comes into this country that has Ebola and creates a problem for us.
01:29:16.980 And we feel like we've got good efforts in place to do that.
01:29:20.000 And Americans should feel assured that the president and his administration is doing everything we can to protect them on that front.
01:29:25.780 My last point said I was all over the place.
01:29:27.640 One of the places I stopped in last night was to initial the Trump route for prosperity in Armenia.
01:29:34.260 This is a key linchpin of the peace deal that you were able to achieve between Armenia and Azerbaijan.
01:29:40.080 And in addition to that, we also signed a Critical Minerals MOU with them and a strategic engagement one as well.
01:29:47.720 So just a reminder of another war you helped settle, Mr. President.
01:29:51.300 But from that, now we are seeing the emergence of a great new relationship with Armenia that really had grown stagnant for a very long period of time.
01:30:00.220 So we're doing well on that front as well. Thank you.
01:30:02.620 So the critical minerals aspect is important as well, because keep in mind, the new wealth moving forward isn't necessarily going to be oil and natural gas.
01:30:13.640 It's going to be critical minerals, because it's critical minerals is what technology companies need when they're developing new technology.
01:30:23.080 It's those it's those critical minerals.
01:30:25.480 And Armenia, just like northern Iran, has a lot of untapped critical minerals.
01:30:39.840 And so for occupied Iran, the area around Lake Urmiyev, there's a lot of untapped critical minerals here.
01:30:51.680 So that kind of falls in the same sort of geographic region.
01:30:56.300 So there's Ormia and then Armenia, right?
01:30:59.100 So the critical minerals are pretty much in this area, and it's all untapped at this point.
01:31:09.380 And could I just ask you, Cuba and Venezuela, what's going on there?
01:31:13.340 Well, interesting.
01:31:13.900 on Venezuela, that process continues, that three-phase process, you know, of obviously
01:31:18.820 stabilization, recovery, and transition. I would just say just since January 3rd of this year,
01:31:25.180 okay, and I think this number's right, and Chris or Doug can correct me on this, but I think over
01:31:30.880 10 million barrels of Venezuelan oil have been delivered to the United States since the 3rd of
01:31:35.440 January. That industry's being professionalized for the first time ever. It's going to the benefit
01:31:40.360 of the venezuelan people they are selling oil in the market at market rates the money's going to a
01:31:45.160 an account in the united states controlled and monitored by treasury audited by kpmg
01:31:50.600 and it's for the first time ever the money's not being stolen it's going to the benefit of
01:31:54.480 the venezuelan people cuba's in a lot of trouble because unfortunately for them it's run by a bunch
01:32:00.360 of incompetent communists and being communist is bad being an incompetent communist is like the
01:32:04.780 worst and um but the country's been taken over by this company called gaesa that basically controls
01:32:11.060 70 of the economy none of the money in that company goes to help the cuban people none of it
01:32:16.720 so we'll be talking to them we'll be working on it you know we want something good for the cuban
01:32:21.120 people guys that's the exact same scenario happening in occupied iran right so the islamic
01:32:26.100 regime whatever money that they have been making for the last 47 years none of it has been going
01:32:31.940 to the Iranian people. It's been going to the Islamic regime to fund and fuel their terrorism
01:32:38.340 in the Middle East and around the world. And hopefully there'll be a good outcome
01:32:42.440 there for them. There needs to be. It's 90 miles from our shores. And having a failed state,
01:32:48.580 90 miles from our shores, is a threat to the national security of the United States.
01:32:52.800 So we're producing right now more oil by double than Russia and Saudi Arabia combined.
01:32:59.280 there's never been anything like that. We don't need oil. We don't need the straits. We don't
01:33:03.820 need anything. But we have more oil now being produced by double, by two times, than Russia
01:33:09.300 and Saudi Arabia combined. A great state. Do you want to say something about that?
01:33:16.420 Well, I would, President Trump, under your leadership, we've opened up lease sales on
01:33:22.000 public land. This is land that was put away for the benefit and the use of the American people,
01:33:26.380 like the Strategic Petroleum Reserve in Alaska, the Biden administration had illegally stopped
01:33:32.100 holding lease sales during their administration. President Trump famously said, drill, baby,
01:33:37.800 drill. But before you can drill, you've got to open public lands. Between the lease sales that
01:33:42.840 have happened in the Permian, in the Bakken and on the North Slope, just since January of this year,
01:33:50.660 it's over four billion dollars of revenues come into the treasury that's 13 times more than the
01:33:56.720 administration brought in on lease sales all right so we're going to fast forward to the next part
01:34:01.720 about iran and it goes to local school districts it's one of the uh i would say in terms of reserves
01:34:14.600 as among the top in the country nobody thinks of that with california everything was just closed
01:34:18.940 down, really violently closed down. And we're opening up some of it. And we're being met with
01:34:25.800 actually great spirit, because they're paying so much for gasoline, they don't have to be doing
01:34:30.820 that. And they have a very incompetent group of leaders, like grossly incompetent. So I think
01:34:37.160 that's going to be something. On a slightly smaller subject, while Doug was speaking,
01:34:41.300 Department of Interior, he and his people have done a fantastic job on DC. DC is looking beautiful.
01:34:47.060 The fountains are almost all open.
01:34:48.820 We had 28 of them.
01:34:50.560 And we have one in particular, a very long lake, we call it, a reflecting lake, between the Lincoln Monument.
01:34:59.800 Nobody's ever seen anything like that.
01:35:04.080 I was trying to get it to work, and they failed.
01:35:07.100 And we'll be spending, you'll give me a number, but we cleaned a major truck.
01:35:12.560 I wanted to see the pond.
01:35:14.840 It's disgusting.
01:35:16.480 the outer ring looks pretty bad too where you walk
01:35:22.740 two three four hundred million dollars and it will never work
01:35:27.860 we're going to spend like 10 million dollars maybe 12 million
01:35:32.040 sure the american people and the world are up here we go that they will never here we go
01:35:42.360 I always have a problem with secret services.
01:35:45.420 They immediately closed it.
01:35:47.000 It was closed for many months and nobody did anything.
01:35:49.480 It was closed.
01:35:50.200 It's basically been closed.
01:35:51.760 But go back to 1922.
01:35:54.600 It was always sort of people think of it as beautiful, but it was always a mess.
01:35:58.240 It's going to be unbelievable.
01:36:00.000 It will be unbelievable.
01:36:01.000 It's actually exciting.
01:36:01.880 I want to ride over there today if I can.
01:36:03.640 You know, I always have a problem with secret services and in love with my walking along,
01:36:08.260 checking checking the sidewalk the new sidewalk to see whether or not they pointed it correctly
01:36:13.860 but they do we have great contractors doing the job but we'll spend a very tiny amount of money and
01:36:18.580 it'll be better than it ever was when it was built in 1922 it's very exciting actually to me i love
01:36:23.380 construction it's very exciting and we do many things we did 28 or 29 fountains uh i made a
01:36:29.060 contribution to redoing lafayette park that's the entrance to the white house and it was an
01:36:35.220 embarrassment the floors were broken they had bricks the bricks some of the bricks were missing
01:36:40.980 you know where they're missing they took them out to throw at people uh we're going with them it's
01:36:45.780 going to be a world-class park it'll be open pretty soon they're doing a lot of work over there
01:36:50.980 that was a contribution that i made with some other people and uh it's going to be really
01:36:55.540 beautiful that was really the front door to the white house but you couldn't even use it
01:36:58.740 it was so terrible people would come to the white house and it was so terrible so with that i'm
01:37:03.700 going to ask pete to talk a little about uh some of our great success yes sir you know so just
01:37:10.500 randomly um before like there was you know the big gate or fence like around the white house
01:37:20.580 um this would have been like like the late 80s maybe i think i was like three or four maybe um
01:37:30.340 we visited like my, my, my parents visited Washington DC. Um, and there's like this video
01:37:38.640 footage of me as like a three or four year old, literally like running up and down the steps of
01:37:45.780 the white house back when visitors could still literally just, you know, this was before all
01:37:51.840 the Durka terrorists, you know, were imported to, to the United States. Right. But, um, like there's
01:37:58.540 literally like like my dad took some video camera footage of me as like a three-year-old
01:38:02.700 running up and down the steps of the White House before they built like the big fence
01:38:07.900 around the building right back during like a more peaceful time when terrorists and
01:38:15.740 and jihadis had not infiltrated the United States yet but for Americans you know those of you who
01:38:24.860 are old enough I think you guys probably remember like back in the late 80s early 90s they didn't
01:38:30.220 have like the big gate um around the White House like you could literally just walk up to the
01:38:36.620 White House you know you couldn't go inside but you could like walk up and down um the set like
01:38:41.820 the main steps of like the the the White House I don't know if it was the White House it could
01:38:46.040 have been um maybe it was Congress or something I don't know it was somewhere maybe it was the
01:38:50.140 White House I don't remember it was like some building it was some building but now there's
01:38:53.860 a big fence around it. I should probably go find the video. I think it was the White House. Wait.
01:39:09.300 Yeah, I think it was like the steps of the White House. I don't know. Oh, it was probably the
01:39:16.220 Capitol building. Maybe it was the Capitol building. I don't know. You know what? I should
01:39:23.660 I will find the footage. I'm going to find the footage. And when I do, I'll do like a special
01:39:31.100 episode of that. Was it the Capitol building? It could have been the Capitol building.
01:39:40.660 I don't, I don't remember now. I have to go and look at the.
01:39:44.160 yeah you know it might have been it might have been the capitol building
01:39:52.140 i don't know i just remember there were steps and i was like three year old and i was like
01:39:56.500 running up and down the steps or something i'll see if i can find the video
01:39:59.660 i just remember it was like somewhere that you can't be anywhere now but anyways now let's go
01:40:08.100 to pete hegson well you might absolutely sir i think um right after six o'clock door to the
01:40:13.420 White House, but you couldn't even use it. It was so terrible. People would come to the White House
01:40:16.820 and it was so terrible. So with that, I'm going to ask Pete to talk about some of our great
01:40:22.560 success. Yes, sir. Including Venezuela, you might talk. Absolutely, sir. I think actually your efforts
01:40:28.260 on the reflecting pool are actually a great segue. If you look at Washington and Lincoln,
01:40:33.340 these are two men that faced monumental tasks and stood up in historic fashion and delivered
01:40:39.240 for the american people and when you step back and look at 47 years of what iran waged war against us
01:40:45.480 and our people there's only one man over the course of both presidency who has stood up so
01:40:51.240 this is important what pete hexath is saying about the 47 years that's because the islamic regime
01:40:58.600 started this conflict started this war 47 years ago when they occupied iran and also took americans
01:41:07.800 hostage for 444 days, right? So the 47 years, right? And this is where it gets frustrating
01:41:15.780 because you have the Democrats and you have mainstream media and you have the Durkhas
01:41:19.160 who are claiming that President Trump started an illegal war because they refuse to acknowledge
01:41:26.660 history. The reality is that President Trump didn't start an illegal war. First of all,
01:41:32.040 I don't even know what an illegal war means. That doesn't mean anything. But President Trump
01:41:36.800 didn't start anything. President Trump is finishing what the Islamic regime, with the help of Jimmy
01:41:43.180 Carter and the Democrats, started 47 years ago in 1979. Tasks and stood up in historic fashion
01:41:52.280 and delivered for the American people. And when you step back and look at 47 years
01:41:56.900 of what Iran waged war against us and our people, there's only one man over the course of both
01:42:03.220 presidency who has stood up and said they will never get a nuclear weapon, as Marco said. So
01:42:08.260 whether it was Qasem Soleimani, whether it was scrapping the Obama deal that was going to give
01:42:11.980 them a weapon, whether it was the 12-day war or Operation Midnight Hammer, you created the
01:42:17.140 conditions to ensure the American people and the world are safeguarded from this generational
01:42:21.660 threat. And so when you authorized Operation Epic Fury, just like you talked about with the
01:42:27.260 reflecting pool, we didn't do the same old thing the way we'd done it in the past after, you know,
01:42:31.660 Iraq and Afghanistan, the way we waged wars. Instead, you said we're going to do this smart.
01:42:36.360 We're going to do it overwhelming. We're going to use maximum lethality and we're going to bring
01:42:40.320 them to their knees. And so whether it's their Navy that's at the bottom of the Persian Gulf,
01:42:43.480 their air force, their air defenses or their defense. Notice how he said Persian Gulf.
01:42:49.320 It's interesting. Pete Hexeth will say Persian Gulf when he's around President Trump and Marco
01:42:55.140 Rubio. But for some strange reason, when he's giving his own briefings, he'll put out the
01:43:01.220 garbage term, the other term, which I'm not going to say. But the official name of the Gulf is the
01:43:07.160 Persian Gulf. So I find that really interesting that in front of Marco Rubio and President Trump,
01:43:14.360 he uses the proper and correct name, which is the Persian Gulf, and it will always be the Persian
01:43:21.040 Gulf. Let's listen to that again. You know, Iraq and Afghanistan, the way we waged wars,
01:43:27.700 instead you said, we're going to do this smart. We're going to do it overwhelming. We're going
01:43:31.760 to use maximum lethality and we're going to bring them to their knees. And so whether it's their
01:43:35.360 Navy that's at the bottom of the Persian Gulf, their air force, their air defenses, or their
01:43:39.660 defense industrial base, they may have missiles, but they can't build more right now. And they
01:43:43.960 can't build more drones right now. And they can't build more ships. And so they came and cried uncle
01:43:48.980 to talk, which Steve and Jared and the vice president and others are doing so ably. And
01:43:53.900 during that time, we put in a world-class blockade, and they haven't been able to bring
01:43:58.780 anything in or anything out from Iranian ports. And we know from the intel that their economy is
01:44:05.840 hurting big time because that is their lifeblood. And again, bringing them to the table. So whether
01:44:11.040 it is through the efforts of your negotiators that they ensure that they never have a nuclear
01:44:16.440 weapon, or we have to go back to the War Department to finish the job that way. We're
01:44:21.200 prepared to do that. And I think even our reach on the dark fleet of Iranian tankers, no Iranian
01:44:27.360 tanker around the globe is safe. We've seen seizures all around the globe, again, choking
01:44:31.800 off their economic lifeblood. But all of this is possible, Mr. President, thanks to the investments
01:44:37.220 that you've made in this department, firing on all cylinders. For the second year in a row,
01:44:42.720 we're at historic recruitment rates. Last year, we said that here. This year, we beat it even
01:44:48.440 faster. The American people are excited about what you're bringing to our department, our defense
01:44:52.800 industrial base, $50 billion in private investments. Because of the meetings you've held,
01:44:59.440 defense manufacturers are investing in new plants and new manufacturing, new production lines,
01:45:04.300 so that we're getting weapons faster than ever. And then the $1.5 trillion that you've committed
01:45:09.380 to the department going forward. That's a million American jobs. One million American manufacturing
01:45:14.900 jobs. That's Golden Dome for America. That's F-47. That's B-21. That's 50 billion in drones. We're
01:45:21.540 going to lead the world in drones, shaving years off of production of all of those, everything
01:45:27.740 under budget and ahead of schedule, which is what the warfighter deserves. And we saw it. You
01:45:31.820 mentioned Venezuela, Mr. President. You saw it on display there. Think of the fact that our
01:45:35.840 south com commander just landed uh uh via helicopter at our embassy peacefully at the
01:45:42.480 welcome of the venezuelans because we're now partnering with them hopefully uh even on the
01:45:47.020 counter cartel mission as we secure our hemisphere so we've secured that southwest border we're going
01:45:52.360 to war with the cartels uh through the america's counter cartel coalition then as well as a big
01:45:57.800 part of securing our energy future and defending the homeland and then i just want to note one more
01:46:01.780 thing to give you a sense of how committed this president is. Maybe a year ago, he heard the call
01:46:07.540 of Nigerian Christians who were being targeted and killed by ISIS in Nigeria. And he said,
01:46:14.840 Pete, I want the War Department to focus on ensuring that we do everything we can to protect
01:46:18.900 those Christians. Partnerships like that can take time behind the scenes, but he never wavered on it.
01:46:23.800 And we got the assets there. And over the last month, and there hasn't been much coverage of
01:46:27.560 this. We killed ISIS number two in Nigeria, who is most responsible for killing Christians and
01:46:33.180 trying to target the U.S. homeland, and have since, because of the intel we gather, killed
01:46:37.700 hundreds of ISIS members who were targeting and killing Christians in Nigeria, creating a whole
01:46:42.720 new opportunity there. So there's a lot of things we do that the media pays attention to, and a lot
01:46:47.400 of things that the president empowers the department to do on behalf of the American people
01:46:51.420 that he deserves great credit for. Thank you. Great job. Great job. I just want to say on
01:46:56.740 recruitment. We're very proud of the fact that for the previous four years, previous administration,
01:47:03.880 they had, I mean, they couldn't recruit people. And that included, by the way, police and firemen
01:47:08.520 and others. They were not proud of our country. And they couldn't recruit anybody with a uniform
01:47:13.140 and was having a hard time recruiting. And they set record low numbers. They were way, way behind.
01:47:19.020 And literally from November 5th, it started. It started even before we...
01:47:22.900 We're going to skip forward to the next part about Iran.
01:47:24.900 got going with the likes of
01:47:27.460 police
01:47:28.360 to the greatest economy that the world
01:47:31.460 has ever known and I see that every week
01:47:33.580 as I travel this country
01:47:35.420 main streets across dozens of
01:47:37.520 states from Alaska
01:47:38.980 she's not going to speak about Iran so we
01:47:41.520 will skip forward to the next
01:47:43.440 part because I do want
01:47:45.540 to hear from Scott Bessent
01:47:46.760 years and years they ripped
01:47:49.460 us off like nobody ever got ripped off
01:47:51.340 now it's a very profitable
01:47:53.620 business that we do with China. And they respect our country again. We have the strongest military
01:47:59.000 in the world by far. They respect our country again. Scott, please. Sir, on the economy, two
01:48:06.380 words, resilience and prosperity. The continued resilience of the economy speaks for itself,
01:48:11.960 even during the Iran conflict. And it speaks to the strength of your leadership.
01:48:18.260 Pro-growth policies are creating conditions for American families and businesses to prosper,
01:48:23.020 entering the second half of our 250th anniversary year with renewed optimism and momentum. It has
01:48:30.780 never been a better time to be an American, and as you said earlier, we have a record number of
01:48:36.200 Americans working. The economy that you are building is not only strong, but secure and
01:48:41.880 resilient and better positioned to compete globally. Real GDP has risen 2.7 percent over
01:48:48.840 the past four quarters something that many economists said couldn't be done in the first
01:48:54.480 quarter of 2026 despite the iran conflict gdp grew at a two percent annual rate the atlanta fed gdp
01:49:03.080 now is predicting yeah that's the other thing i don't understand like a lot of people like democrats
01:49:07.920 or whoever they're like oh the the american economy is in shambles because of the conflict
01:49:14.360 with with the islamic regime occupying iran and i'm like what are you talking about the american
01:49:22.380 economy is incredibly strong right now meanwhile in canada you know our our garbage liberal
01:49:31.820 administration they're putting the country into like a recession like the economic situation
01:49:38.980 in Canada is really bad right now. 4.3% for this quarter. In terms of prices, I believe the prices
01:49:46.540 are transitory. Oil will be lower than pre-conflict levels. When this ends, natural gas is already
01:49:52.840 down. As you mentioned, drug and pharmaceutical prices are plummeting and rent is down. We are
01:50:02.140 more resilient to energy price fluctuations due to your energy dominance agenda, the regulatory
01:50:08.040 efforts, and we have never sold so much energy to the rest of the world. Business investment rose at
01:50:15.240 a 10.4% annual rate the first quarter. Capital expenditures and business equipment rose more
01:50:21.220 than 17%, and that is as a result of the tax bill and tariffs. Jobs related to commercial
01:50:29.360 construction factory construction are up 90 000 since your inauguration in the past two months
01:50:35.680 the private sector as kelly said has added 313 000 new jobs and those are private sector jobs
01:50:44.000 including 13 000 manufacturing jobs we have construction jobs we're building the factories
01:50:49.680 and those will turn into manufacturing jobs the stock market has hit new highs the stock market
01:50:55.200 lives in the future it is seeing the on the other side of this conflict it is a strong symbol of
01:51:01.040 optimism for the future corporate earnings are high and wages are doing well for the tax season
01:51:07.760 we had the best tax filing season in history which is a victory for main street the average refund
01:51:15.040 was nearly thirty three hundred dollars eleven percent increase from last tax filing season
01:51:22.080 and importantly 62 no tax on over taxes on government benefit i want to i want to fast
01:51:28.800 forward to iran american dream million kids and it will three press four point reiterate
01:51:38.080 your second term it's been great it's been amazing actually uh any questions all right
01:51:44.560 All right, there we go.
01:51:45.560 Thank you, Mr. President.
01:51:46.560 I always tell with NTV Sister Media with the Epoch Times,
01:51:49.560 there's been a lot to see that basically implied crimes here,
01:51:52.560 and as a lot of Americans and people from all around the world
01:51:55.560 are coming to the nation's capital ahead of the major 250...
01:51:58.560 Okay, so this question is about crime.
01:52:02.560 I'll include the closed captions.
01:52:10.560 All right, next question.
01:52:12.560 today uh what are your thoughts why do you think that joe biden is trying to
01:52:16.000 sue this kind of justice former president joe biden all right so this is about joe biden
01:52:25.200 here we go this is about iran i think it would be very interesting reading from people
01:52:33.840 would you accept a short-term deal that allows iran and olam to control the straight
01:52:38.320 and would they have to open immediately or would you be open to that happening over a period of
01:52:42.320 time no the strait's going to be open to everybody it's uh it's international waters nobody's going
01:52:48.400 to control it we're going to watch over it we'll watch over it but nobody's going to control it
01:52:52.240 that's part of the negotiation that we have they would like to control it nobody's going to
01:52:56.560 control it's international waters and oman will behave just like everybody else who will have to
01:53:02.240 to blow them up they understand that they'll be fine so when president trump made that comment
01:53:10.280 last week a lot of democrats and you know the fake stream media they freaked out they were like
01:53:15.440 oh my gosh is president trump declaring war on omar no president trump understands how you have
01:53:23.780 to speak to people in the middle east um middle eastern politics and middle eastern geopolitics
01:53:32.060 does not operate within the same framework as, you know, European or Western geopolitics, right?
01:53:42.260 Middle East, the only language they understand is strength, okay?
01:53:48.900 So President Trump understands that.
01:53:52.060 If President Trump said something like,
01:53:54.640 oh, if Oman, you know, wants to do something like that,
01:53:57.660 we're going to have to have a stern talking to with them.
01:54:00.300 Oman would laugh and be like, what are you talking about? Because that's how, like, that's literally how the culture operates, right? That's how they are. So peace through strength, that's the only way you can negotiate or communicate in the Middle East.
01:54:17.960 you always come from a position of power. Because if you try to appease or negotiate,
01:54:25.560 they actually view that as a sign of weakness. And I'm not saying this because I'm racist or,
01:54:32.620 you know, whatever. I'm saying that because that's literally the truth. I'm from the region.
01:54:37.760 I'm from the area. I know how these things operate. And I know how they think. So President
01:54:45.280 Trump just casually throwing it out that if Oman decides to take the side of terrorism and engage
01:54:53.840 in piracy, that, you know, he's just going to have to bomb them. That statement in and of itself
01:55:02.320 is pretty much all he needs to make sure that Oman does not side with the Islamic regime.
01:55:12.820 By signaling his willingness to go after any state that decides to support the Islamic regime, right, he's pretty much preventing anyone in the area from doing exactly that.
01:55:33.900 So that's what peace through strength means.
01:55:39.280 And he casually put Oman in their place.
01:55:43.220 And the fact that he's sort of, you know, just casually saying that as an afterthought,
01:55:49.920 that is also an insult to Oman, right?
01:55:53.040 Because now Oman is going to be like, wow, he just casually put this out there.
01:55:57.280 That's important.
01:55:59.520 That's important.
01:56:00.460 And meanwhile, the left is freaking out and they're like, oh, President Trump's going to like bomb Oman.
01:56:05.100 No, that's not what he's saying.
01:56:06.600 What he's saying is if anyone chooses to side with the Islamic regime, we'll consider them an enemy and we'll do what we have to do.
01:56:15.120 And that includes Oman.
01:56:17.040 That's part of the negotiation that we have.
01:56:19.820 They would like to control it.
01:56:21.000 Nobody's going to control it.
01:56:22.100 It's international waters and Oman will behave just like everybody else.
01:56:26.420 So we'll have to blow them up.
01:56:28.420 They understand that.
01:56:29.380 They'll be fine.
01:56:30.460 How much economic pressure do you feel to get this straighter forward?
01:56:36.280 Well, you have to say, the United States has so much oil that we are an export of oil.
01:56:41.780 So we have plenty of oil. We're very lucky.
01:56:44.520 We're blessed with the greatest piece of land in the world from that standpoint.
01:56:49.060 And we have more than anybody else.
01:56:51.080 And now when you add Venezuela to it, we have, I think, 64 percent of the world's oil.
01:56:56.520 And we're getting along very well with Venezuela, by the way.
01:56:59.780 It's being learned really beautifully.
01:57:01.500 The big companies are moving in.
01:57:03.200 It's going to be amazing because it's also, like us, they're very blessed in that sense.
01:57:08.740 But we have natural energy that no other country has.
01:57:12.360 We have more than anybody else.
01:57:14.220 So it's really a world problem because most of the world doesn't have that.
01:57:18.900 And we're making it available.
01:57:20.060 During the closing, I don't know if you've seen some of the satellite pictures, boats,
01:57:26.020 hundreds of boats lined up.
01:57:27.360 It looks like I used to say the Long Island Expressway with cars.
01:57:31.180 They're lined up and they're coming to Texas, Louisiana.
01:57:33.880 They're coming to Alaska to fill up their boat, their big boat.
01:57:38.340 Some of them are really big, you know, two billion gallons, even bigger than that.
01:57:42.260 Now they make them. They make them up to four, Chris, I hear.
01:57:44.800 Now they make them up to four. The four are now the big ones.
01:57:47.840 Used to be the ones. Now it's four million barrels of, think of that, four million barrels of oil in one boat.
01:57:54.440 but they're lined up and they're right now heading to texas and they've already filled up
01:57:59.960 and they've gone back in addition to that you have a lot of boats you have about 14 1500 boats in the
01:58:05.480 straight wanting to get out and at the right time we'll release them but the american peoples are
01:58:10.360 seeing higher gas prices yeah they've come down a little bit but it's still four dollars
01:58:13.640 no it's coming down it'll come down a lot it'll go it'll come down to where it was before we had it
01:58:18.760 When I was in Iowa, we were driving by and we saw gas stations, $1.90 a gallon, $1.85, $1.87 were the three that we saw.
01:58:30.340 We had it down in some places below, and we can't help a California where they charge so much tax that you lower it and they charge tax.
01:58:38.340 They've got to straighten the act out in California, but we had gasoline down to a very low number.
01:58:43.360 I think we'll be hitting that number shortly after that whole excursion ends.
01:58:51.600 But regardless of anything, regardless of anything, as Marco said better than that.
01:58:57.060 This is also really important, right?
01:58:59.340 Because a lot of people are like, oh, President Trump has given up.
01:59:03.420 The war is over.
01:59:05.000 Like, everyone's leaving.
01:59:06.280 No. Even, you know, even now in the cabinet meeting, President Trump is saying oil prices will come down when the excursion ends, which means it's not over yet. It's not over. Right.
01:59:25.720 There is a plan, there is a process, and anyone who thinks that the war is over, or the conflict is over, or, you know, President Trump's just going to leave, no.
01:59:40.700 Remember, we have literally witnessed the largest movement of American military assets into the Persian Gulf region since 2023.
01:59:54.660 President Trump isn't just randomly moving American military assets to the area because he feels like it, right?
02:00:05.240 He's moving them there for a reason.
02:00:09.120 And President Trump is now confirming that those people who are claiming that the war is over or conflict is over or President Trump's given up,
02:00:20.760 it's not true because he literally just said it's not over yet and this is why it's important
02:00:28.120 to read between the lines i guess lean down to a very low number i think we'll be hitting that
02:00:33.980 number uh shortly after that whole excursion ends so shortly after that excursion ends which means
02:00:45.900 the excursion is not over yet. But regardless of anything, regardless of anything, as Marco said,
02:00:54.320 better than anybody can say it, you can't let them have a nuclear weapon. They would use it
02:00:58.960 instantly. They wouldn't think about it. They would use it instantly. I've gotten to know them.
02:01:04.200 They would use it instantly. There you go. Right. President Trump, I've gotten to know them.
02:01:09.840 they would use it instantly which means president trump's top focus is to ensure that the islamic
02:01:19.100 regime will never have a nuclear weapon now here's the thing the key part as well is president trump
02:01:26.180 saying i've gotten to know them what does that really mean well i'll tell you what it means
02:01:32.380 When President Trump says, I've gotten to know them, it means that he now understands that as long as the Islamic regime survives, they will never, ever give up trying to acquire a nuclear weapon.
02:01:51.860 That's what it means to get to know them.
02:01:55.420 Mr. President, you've said that you're in no rush to make a deal, but with gas prices
02:02:01.480 that are so high across the country, people are paying more for travel.
02:02:05.000 Does that give you more urgency to make a deal?
02:02:07.140 Well, I'll tell you the primary urgency I have.
02:02:09.360 I said this, it wasn't covered properly, but the primary urgency is that we can't let
02:02:13.720 Iran have a nuclear weapon.
02:02:16.380 But at the same time, we have a tremendous amount of oil, gas, coal.
02:02:21.560 We have tremendous amounts of energy.
02:02:23.360 We're blessed with something very special.
02:02:25.420 those prices are going to come down they're going to come down fast i think i think that you'll see
02:02:30.140 actually todd i think you're going to see a lower prices that we had even before we did this now
02:02:34.440 i knew there'd be an increase i said we have a choice we don't have to do anything and in two
02:02:39.080 years or one year or two months because iran would have had if we didn't hit them with the b2 bombers
02:02:44.520 iran would have had a nuclear weapon within two weeks from that date because they were ready to
02:02:50.120 ago, and if they had a nuclear weapon, it would have been used already.
02:02:54.960 It also would have been used had I not terminated the Obama deal, the Iran nuclear deal, as
02:02:59.840 we call it.
02:03:00.840 That was in my first term.
02:03:02.640 Had I not terminated that, they would have had a nuclear weapon a long time ago.
02:03:06.860 I would say it was a guarantee that it would have been used.
02:03:10.140 And it would have blown up Israel, it would have blown up the entire Middle East, and
02:03:14.840 that's never going to happen.
02:03:15.840 Yeah, please.
02:03:16.840 no okay so this part's really important guys so remember when president trump went to china
02:03:29.160 everyone's like oh president trump's going to china he's gonna he's appeasing the chinese he's
02:03:34.200 like kissing the ring it was literally the exact opposite president trump went to china he took pete
02:03:41.080 He takes death and he also took Marco Rubio and Marco Rubio is sanctioned by the Chinese.
02:03:47.460 But he took Marco Rubio and he said to the Chinese, you're going to lift your sanctions and you're going to allow, right, Marco Rubio to come with me to China and you're not going to have a say in the matter, which was President Trump basically saying to Xi Jinping that I don't care about your sanctions against U.S. officials.
02:04:08.600 so and then look at how quickly he answers this question guarantee that it would have been used
02:04:15.940 and it would have blown up israel it would have blown up the entire middle east and that's never
02:04:21.420 going to happen yeah please
02:04:22.480 quick easy simple the reporter asks him would you be comfortable with russia or china taking
02:04:26.500 their stockpile of highly enriched uranium and have they offered no i wouldn't be comfortable
02:04:30.580 Quick, easy, simple. The reporter asks him, would you be comfortable with Russia or China
02:04:38.560 taking the enriched uranium from the Islamic regime? And without hesitation, without hesitation,
02:04:45.360 President Trump says, no, I wouldn't be comfortable. When he says, no, I wouldn't be
02:04:51.620 comfortable. That's political speak for I don't trust Russia or China at all, right? He basically
02:05:00.560 trusts them as far as he can throw them, which is not at all. So anyone, anyone who's trying to
02:05:09.600 claim that President Trump is appeasing China or appeasing Russia, or, you know, he is, you know,
02:05:17.640 friends with them and wants to, you know, work with them. This answer, not just the conciseness
02:05:28.540 of the answer, right? Because usually in, you know, politicians, like when they want to give
02:05:32.380 an answer, you know, they'll provide a lot of like caveats or whatever. And, you know, sometimes
02:05:37.440 they'll pause for a moment to think about, okay, how do I properly answer this question in like a,
02:05:44.660 you know, political way? But President Trump doesn't hesitate. He doesn't even wait for
02:05:51.600 the question to finish. Just right away, he's like, no, I wouldn't be comfortable with that.
02:05:58.540 So when he says, no, I wouldn't be comfortable with that, you need to translate that as President Trump does not trust China or Russia in any way, shape, or form.
02:06:11.240 And when President Trump is friendly with them or when President Trump compliments them, right, that's basically just diplomacy and it's the art of the deal.
02:06:22.060 that's not president trump actually bowing down to them or saying that he's friends with them
02:06:29.140 it's the exact opposite so listen to this again like just just the way that he says it so quickly
02:06:36.300 right it's never gonna happen yeah please
02:06:39.340 would you be comfortable with russia or china taking their stockpile of highly
02:06:44.660 with geranium and have they offered no i wouldn't be comfortable that would not make me comfortable
02:06:52.020 right no that would not make me comfortable that would not make me comfortable
02:06:58.580 that's about as clear as it can possibly get on where president trump stands when it comes to
02:07:08.180 China and Russia. So just because he visits China or just because he invites Putin,
02:07:15.460 that doesn't mean that he's friends with them, right? Because it's one thing to engage in diplomacy,
02:07:22.820 but it's another thing to trust. And President Trump here very clearly just signaled
02:07:31.700 that he does not trust China and Russia,
02:07:37.320 which is, of course, the proper and correct stance to take
02:07:42.980 when it comes to the CCP and the Putin regime.
02:07:47.640 And again, when I'm speaking about countries,
02:07:49.500 I don't mean the Chinese people or the Russian people.
02:07:52.540 I'm referring to the government.
02:07:54.160 So I'm referring to the Chinese Communist Party
02:07:56.260 and I'm referring to Putin's regime
02:07:59.380 because, of course, the Chinese people are wonderful.
02:08:01.700 and the Russian people are wonderful, and we have no issues with them.
02:08:05.960 This is a geopolitics channel, and we're only talking about governments here.
02:08:14.280 No, we're not talking about any easing of sanctions or giving money.
02:08:19.320 No sanctions, no money, no nothing.
02:08:22.980 We have control of money that they claim is theirs.
02:08:27.900 We'll keep control of that money.
02:08:29.620 When they behave properly and when they do what's right, we'll let them have their money.
02:08:34.360 But right now, we're not doing that.
02:08:36.100 And one thing is not contingent on the other.
02:08:40.680 Mr. President, this shooting last weekend came barely a month after the third assassination attempt against you during the White House Works Clinic Center.
02:08:47.780 What was your reaction when you first heard about the latest shooting?
02:08:50.880 And what gives you the courage to really keep doing your job effectively without thinking about these threats every day?
02:08:55.940 Well, I can't think about it because I thought about it a lot.
02:08:59.620 You know, I wouldn't be a very good president. I wouldn't be here, probably, be up in some room with a locked door and say, just leave me alone.
02:09:07.600 So I can't really think about it. It's such something that it's a sad part of life.
02:09:14.380 It's a dangerous business. What I'm doing is a dangerous business.
02:09:17.720 And they say, and look, we have been maybe the most consequential, but we certainly have been one of the most consequential.
02:09:25.240 this group has been a very consequential administration. And they say, if you're not
02:09:30.320 consequential, you don't have so much problem. If you are consequential, you do. So you have to look
02:09:36.000 at that. But it's a shame. It's a very sad fact of life. Look, anybody in office, not only in
02:09:44.920 this country, in other countries too, but when you are a consequential president, your life is in
02:09:51.080 grave danger. I knew that.
02:09:53.060 Mr. President, how would you characterize
02:09:54.920 the current state of the talks
02:09:57.120 with Iran? I guess if it were a football field,
02:09:59.600 what yard line would you be on?
02:10:00.900 Well, I think we're doing very well.
02:10:02.660 They are starting to give us the things
02:10:05.180 that they have to give us, and if they do,
02:10:07.000 that's great, and if they won't, then the man
02:10:09.040 on my left is going to finish them off.
02:10:11.060 Is there a time frame in your mind?
02:10:12.680 What? Is there a time frame
02:10:14.880 in your mind? I mean, it happens quickly.
02:10:17.040 The problem is every time I mention a time
02:10:18.980 frame, for instance,
02:10:19.800 I see, you know, we've been doing this for a few months. Vietnam lasted 19 years. Korea lasted eight
02:10:28.620 years. Afghanistan lasted many years. They were all many, many years. And we're into it for a few
02:10:34.020 months. And I read about you people like you. What's taking so long? But we're in it. You know,
02:10:40.400 we lost between two wars, two big wars, Venezuela and Iran. We lost 13 souls, 13 great people,
02:10:47.420 met the parents, great people. And it's a terrible thing. But 13, if you look at the
02:10:54.820 war casualties and the deaths and wars from Vietnam and all that they lost hundreds of
02:11:00.000 thousands of people in numerous of these wars, we're very cognizant that we want to lose very
02:11:07.640 few. We want very few to be injured. We're very careful. But war is war. War is dangerous. But
02:11:14.980 We've lost 13.
02:11:15.980 I saw the Democrats took an ad putting in the 13 people that were lost.
02:11:20.100 And when you look at hundreds of thousands of people that were lost in the Middle East, Iraq, all the different wars we were in, we have done an amazing job.
02:11:31.720 With that being said, I hate to lose 13.
02:11:33.680 I hate to lose one.
02:11:35.280 But we've been very capable.
02:11:39.580 And when you think of it, we took over Venezuela in one day.
02:11:43.860 We have done a similar job, but we said, well, give them a little chance at the request of somebody that we greatly respect from Pakistan, the field marshal and the prime minister.
02:11:54.200 They've been great.
02:11:56.160 They asked us, would we pause the war for a little while because they'd like to do it.
02:11:59.640 So we will do that.
02:12:01.280 But we had them be, you know, no, no better now.
02:12:06.600 We could close it out very quickly.
02:12:08.500 If we can do it in a different way, that'd be good.
02:12:10.740 If we get everything we we want.
02:12:13.060 But we could close that out very, very quickly.
02:12:15.460 And we may have to.
02:12:16.820 I don't think so, but we may have to.
02:12:18.660 The U.S. spent a lot of money getting the World Cup here and increasing infrastructure.
02:12:24.920 Does the economic benefit outweigh the cost?
02:12:27.440 No, the World Cup is great.
02:12:28.680 It's the most successful they've ever had, ticket-wise.
02:12:31.920 Okay, let's go forward to the next part.
02:12:34.360 I have one question for you and one question for Vice President J.D. Vance on fraud.
02:12:42.040 What's your message today?
02:12:44.080 So this is on fraud.
02:12:49.140 It shows that this radical left Democrats.
02:12:55.260 Tifa signs.
02:12:59.480 I mean, you know, I see those.
02:13:00.780 I see those guys going up and down the Jersey turnpike.
02:13:07.460 I think they have to follow orders.
02:13:09.500 They want to keep their jobs.
02:13:10.620 may have been
02:13:11.380 okay so that's on that
02:13:19.500 no the basics no i would
02:13:21.620 immediately join the and steve woodcoff is working on that with jared and some others but would like
02:13:29.020 to have them join the abraham accords it'll be historic by i didn't doing right they're doing
02:13:37.160 right now very well do you accept an agreement with iran that just calls for further talks on
02:13:44.540 the uranium no the only option no the basics no i would for some of it yeah because it's a memorandum
02:13:50.100 of understanding for speed and one of the things that will happen is the strait will open immediately
02:13:55.600 immediately but it's got to be perfect i'm not going to do that i didn't do this to get a crummy
02:14:00.880 agreement. The worst agreement ever signed was by Barack Hussein Obama. What a horrible agreement
02:14:07.640 that was. It was a setback for this country, for the whole world. The Middle East would have blown
02:14:12.740 itself up. No. And we'd like to have the countries we were talking about, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar,
02:14:18.680 and the others, we'd like to have them immediately join. And Steve Woodcoff is working on that with
02:14:24.540 Jared and some others. So what's interesting is President Trump made the announcement for all
02:14:29.800 those Arab Muslim countries to immediately sign the Abraham Accords. None of them have signed it
02:14:38.780 yet. And that is significant. If you guys haven't already seen that video, I made like I've made a
02:14:48.760 whole video analysis on that. And I would encourage all of you to go and watch that video. So if you
02:14:57.320 go to like my YouTube page. It's called Trump just demanded the entire Muslim world to recognize
02:15:04.260 Israel. Go watch that because President Trump put out that statement nine days ago,
02:15:13.440 and none of them have signed it yet. Like President Trump is literally calling out
02:15:21.000 all of their so-called allies in the Middle East. In fact, literally right after I posted that video
02:15:30.160 on YouTube, Pakistan came out and said that they're never going to sign the Abraham Accords
02:15:36.860 because recognizing the state of Israel is fundamentally incompatible with the ideology
02:15:46.780 of Pakistan. Pakistan, by the way, like one of the fakest countries in the world. It just is.
02:15:53.660 But anyways, so yeah, go watch this video if you want to get my breakdown and analysis on
02:16:00.620 how President Trump is calling out the entire Muslim world.
02:16:05.680 And that's what he's talking about here.
02:16:07.600 I'd like to have them join the air. The peace would have blown itself up. No.
02:16:11.120 And we'd like to have the countries we're talking about, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, and the others, we'd like to have them immediately join.
02:16:19.940 And Steve Woodcoff is working on that with Jared and some others, but we'd like to have them join the Abraham Accords.
02:16:25.200 It'll be historic if they do it.
02:16:26.980 I think they owe that to us, to be honest, because that really would be a tremendous sign.
02:16:33.780 And I think those countries owe it to us.
02:16:37.740 Steve, are you going to get them to sign?
02:16:39.300 we're definitely pushing it i'm not sure i'm not sure we should make the deal if they don't sign
02:16:46.660 you want to know the truth if they don't sign to join the abraham of course i don't know that we
02:16:51.200 you know we have countries in there already uh uae great great countries bold countries and
02:16:57.720 it turned out to be so good so effective and uh so we're you know requesting strongly that they
02:17:05.720 they join. It'll be great. It'd be great for Saudi Arabia. It'd be great for Qatar, Kuwait,
02:17:11.600 the whole group. So the Iran deal might be contingent on...
02:17:15.160 Do you see how he's calling out the countries? And he's like, if they don't sign,
02:17:20.620 there won't be a deal, right? He's calling them out. And now those Muslim countries are...
02:17:27.880 it's going to be very guys it president trump is literally um changing the entire power structure
02:17:40.640 in the middle east like this is a fundamental shift and he's calling out those countries
02:17:47.100 not a lot of people are paying enough attention to that and this was last week and they still
02:17:55.180 haven't signed okay so keep that in mind i don't know i don't want to say that i'm not going to
02:18:02.000 give you you know what's contingent what's not i can say that uh we can make a good deal right now
02:18:08.180 but maybe not a great deal and if it's not a great deal when i'm making it so because we can make a
02:18:13.140 great deal with this guy right here and uh but it's you know right so so president trump's pointing
02:18:18.780 to pete hexath he's saying we can make a great deal with this guy right here and by great deal
02:18:24.820 He means exterminating the Islamic regime, which is, of course, what many Iranians want.
02:18:31.740 And I have a feeling that's exactly where we're heading towards.
02:18:37.220 It's a lot nastier.
02:18:39.020 Probably wouldn't go as quickly.
02:18:40.860 We wouldn't be talking about as quickly, but it would be foolproof.
02:18:46.320 But I think we're doing very well, Steve.
02:18:48.320 I think we're doing pretty well in terms of the negotiation.
02:18:50.880 But we'll see if it's not going to be a real deal because Obama had that horrible JCPOA, whatever it was.
02:18:59.120 It was the worst deal. It was a path for Iran to have a nuclear weapon very quickly.
02:19:05.820 Years ago, they would have had a nuclear weapon. We might not be here talking about it right now.
02:19:11.140 They would have had a nuclear weapon. And frankly, Obama picked the wrong country.
02:19:16.240 He should have picked another country. I won't tell you what it was, but he picked the wrong country.
02:19:20.780 when he picked Iran. But we have things understood now with Iran. It's been nasty. They've lost their
02:19:26.540 leaders. They've lost. And it really is regime change. You know, we didn't set out for regime
02:19:31.500 change. But by the fact that we're dealing with a totally different group of people than we were
02:19:37.660 at the beginning, and frankly, I find them to be much more reasonable. I actually find them to be
02:19:43.220 smarter, but I find them to be much more reasonable. This is regime change.
02:19:48.160 So when President Trump says they're much more reasonable, Marco Rubio clarified that yesterday in the Senate hearing where he spoke about how there are certain elements within the Islamic regime that are much more willing to come to a deal, but then they're dealing with others who are more ideological, like the IRGC.
02:20:15.540 So go and watch my live stream from yesterday because I break down what Marco Rubio is saying.
02:20:22.040 So that's really important.
02:20:24.440 That's really important.
02:20:26.600 One regime is gone.
02:20:28.040 Another regime is gone.
02:20:29.180 We're dealing with the third pieces of it because some of them are gone, too.
02:20:34.460 And I find them, I think, how can you have a stronger regime change than that?
02:20:40.860 So I do find that.
02:20:43.040 I'd like to thank you all very much.
02:20:44.980 We're doing great. Our country is doing fantastically well. And this group of people
02:20:49.180 is outstanding. Thank you all very much. Wow. So there you go. I'm putting that into context
02:20:59.480 of, you know, what's happened in the last week. The way that I see this is I don't think there's
02:21:08.280 going to be a deal made. And everything that President Trump and Marco Rubio and Scott
02:21:16.180 Besant and Pete Hegseth are working towards is essentially creating the conditions for the
02:21:25.360 collapse of the Islamic regime and also the opportunity for the Iranian people to rise up
02:21:30.920 and overthrow the Islamic regime. Because President Trump, I truly believe, recognizes
02:21:37.240 and understands that the only way to end the threat of the Islamic regime once and for all
02:21:46.560 is to eradicate the Islamic regime like the cancer that they are. Okay, let me go to your
02:21:57.140 super chats, and we'll do like a quick Q&A session. And then we're going to call it a night.
02:22:03.760 So, our first super chat is from Kuda. Kuda says, I paused at 0.9 seconds and took a screenshot. Can I use that as a background on my computer?
02:22:17.160 Yeah, absolutely. I think you're referring to my opening theme, my opening intro. Yeah, absolutely. No problem. Go for it 100%.
02:22:28.080 I'm happy that you like that. Wait, what is it at like 0.9 seconds? Wait, let me see what it is
02:22:35.280 at 0.9. What is it at 0.9? 0.9? Yeah, I mean, sure, why not? If you like it, go for it. Super
02:22:48.100 cool. Okay, enjoy your new background. Then Dale became a new member. Welcome, Dale. Welcome to
02:22:58.020 all these gang. Valerie says, God bless my fellow, God bless my fellow patriots in Great Britain,
02:23:07.900 GB from Florida, USA. And Atki says, I like how the left shames Hegseth for his Jerusalem cross
02:23:17.200 tattoo, but they don't condemn a guy with a literal Nazi tattoo. Yeah. I mean, that's the hypocrisy
02:23:24.140 of the left. Rules for thee, but not for me. They're more offended by religion, it seems,
02:23:30.140 than they are by Nazi tattoos. Jordan Hart says, Goldie, future leader of Iran. When can we
02:23:39.720 support this? Probably not. The future leader of Iran or, you know, the current leader of Iran is
02:23:45.980 is Royal Highness Reza Pahlavi, who's the head of state. I have no idea about, you know, whether
02:23:54.160 I'm going to be involved in the political future of Iran, because my Persian is not the greatest.
02:24:00.500 But thank you for that. I appreciate the support. Very kind of you. Chase says, Hi, Goldie,
02:24:08.400 half Armenian here. My late stepfather fled Iran in 1979. I'm so sorry to hear that.
02:24:15.980 I'm looking forward to visiting the free and restored Iran Javid Shah.
02:24:21.020 Thank you so much.
02:24:22.100 Yes, we cannot wait to welcome you all back.
02:24:26.240 And guys, for those of you who might not know, Iran has, you know, prior to 1979 when the Islamic regime took over,
02:24:33.500 Iran was a safe haven for many persecuted minorities in the Middle East, including Armenian Christians.
02:24:41.640 And, you know, during the Armenian genocide, many, many Armenians fled to Iran, where they found safety. And then our last super chat is from Tammy, who says the uranium one scandal routed 20% of US uranium to Russia, then to Iran. Wow, okay. I'll definitely look into that.
02:25:07.060 I mean, I know that Hillary Clinton was involved somehow, like there was something about like the Clinton Foundation or something, but thank you for the heads up. I'm going to look into that, and I will see what I can find out about that and the connections to the Islamic regime.
02:25:27.420 Wow. Okay. Well, guys, thank you everyone for joining me tonight. I hope you found
02:25:36.360 this political analysis and commentary useful. I personally am a big fan of watching these
02:25:45.740 meetings in their entirety, not just the clips, right? Because
02:25:51.440 it's not often about just like the clip it's about what they say before what they say after
02:26:01.080 and how it all fits in together because the only way that you can properly analyze geopolitics
02:26:07.540 especially middle eastern politics is by taking a step back and seeing the forest for the trees
02:26:14.140 as always thank you for joining me tonight i will see you guys tomorrow i'm goldie gamari
02:26:22.880 you've been watching the goldie show and now you know see you guys tomorrow
02:26:44.140 Thank you.
02:27:14.140 Thank you.
02:27:44.140 We'll be right back.
02:28:14.140 Thank you.
02:28:44.140 We'll see you next time.
