The Great America Show - The Great America Sunday Show： March 22, 2026

00:00:00.000 Hello, everybody, and welcome to the Great America Show.

00:00:05.000 It's great to have you with us on another beautiful day in America.

00:00:07.880 The confirmation hearings have begun for Mark Wayne Mullen, who's now a former senator,

00:00:13.240 or soon to be former senator, I should say, Mark Wayne Mullen, to take over at DHS.

00:00:19.220 Now, it's not what you expected, these hearings.

00:00:21.420 We're going to bring you through today what took place in these hearings, who's the good

00:00:25.680 guys and who's the bad guys.

00:00:26.860 Now, you would think that the Republican Party, as they always are, have a united front and back Mark Wayne Mullen to continue to pursue the largest deportation raids in history, the largest overall deportations in history, have the most secure border in history, because that's what the Republicans are, right?

00:00:45.700 That's what people go to vote for when they go to vote for Republicans.

00:00:49.120 It's why Donald Trump, a big part of why Donald Trump won so resoundingly back in November.

00:00:54.840 People want to secure borders.

00:00:56.140 People wanted mass deportations. It's what they want. It's what the numbers still show, contrary to what some rhino wants to tell you, because I constantly hear now, oh, well, Mike Johnson's shifting because that's what the polling is showing.

00:01:09.180 The polling showing that Americans don't want mass deportations anymore. They don't want people deported. They don't want secure borders. It's nonsense. It's nonsensical and it's a lie.

00:01:17.940 Overwhelmingly, people still want mass deportations and people still want a secure border.

00:01:23.800 So President Trump tapped Mark Wayne Mullen after it was announced that Kristi Noem would be departing the agency after dealing with some issues, we'll say nicely.

00:01:35.300 um so you would think the republican party the senators who haven't been able to unite behind

00:01:40.940 just about anything this time around including the save act which is i think fundamental for

00:01:46.000 securing our elections but we'll talk about that later uh but you would think the republicans

00:01:50.320 would be united for the most part but there's always that one like there's one in the house

00:01:55.500 there's that one in the senate and you know exactly who he is because he's been a thorn in

00:02:00.000 the side of President Trump since 2016. It's a man who I believe has deep insecurities,

00:02:06.460 a man who's still not been able to come to terms that President Trump beat out,

00:02:13.040 what was it, 16 contenders on a stage in 2016, all professional politicians.

00:02:17.640 And I think it's a man who probably wants to be president one day alongside loser Thomas Massey.

00:02:24.420 So he's doing all he can, it's apparent, to tank Mark Wayne Mullen's nomination.

00:02:32.660 And as he usually does, it's always about him.

00:02:37.540 Who am I talking about?

00:02:38.520 You guys probably figured it out by now.

00:02:39.980 Senator Rand Paul.

00:02:41.300 Let's take a listen in to what Senator Rand Paul had to make this hearing about.

00:02:45.980 It wasn't about Mark Wayne Mullen.

00:02:48.160 It wasn't about his record on immigration.

00:02:50.440 It wasn't about what he's going to do to secure our borders.

00:02:53.140 what he's going to do to continue mass deportations.

00:02:56.580 This is about Rand Paul. Let's take a listen.

00:02:58.960 Good morning, everyone.

00:03:00.320 I entered the Senate the same year that Representative Gabby Giffords was shot.

00:03:05.500 I knew then that the state of political rhetoric was encouraging violence.

00:03:09.320 I think it's imperative now more than ever that the leaders in our country disavow violence and lead by example.

00:03:17.980 Through the years, I've personally been exposed multiple times to political violence.

00:03:22.060 I was in the right field batting cage when the crazed shooter unleashed nearly 200 shots at our congressional baseball practice.

00:03:30.020 I'll never forget Steve's calice valiantly dragging, trying to drag his body away as the gunman continued.

00:03:37.660 Later that year, a trump-hating felon attacked me from behind in my yard.

00:03:43.260 I was just straightening up from picking up a tree limb.

00:03:46.660 I was wearing noise cancellation headphones.

00:03:49.280 Never saw him coming.

00:03:50.220 running pell-mell down the hill i was struck in the back the force of the blow sent us through

00:03:57.360 the air nearly 10 feet down the hill until a shoulder impaled me as we hit the ground

00:04:02.120 six of my ribs were broken three of the ribs were completely separated such that for weeks

00:04:08.360 the ends of the ribs would grind upon each other my lung was damaged for weeks i could inhale but

00:04:16.200 not have the rib strength to exhale. I developed two pneumonias. The pain was such that I could

00:04:23.140 only sit up in bed by tying a rope to the foot of the bed and pulling myself up. But even then,

00:04:28.680 the pain was that of a thousand knives. Over the year of recovery, I began to cough up blood.

00:04:34.980 I underwent removal of part of my lung. Complications led to an infection in the space

00:04:39.920 between my lung and chest wall. I spent a week in the hospital having the infection lavaged every

00:04:44.660 six hours through a chest tube. Recently, Senator Mullen, if you have time to listen,

00:04:52.800 you were confronted by constituents that were angry because you voted against my amendment

00:04:57.200 to stop all funding for refugee welfare programs. Instead of explaining your vote

00:05:02.480 to continue these welfare programs for refugees, you decided to transfer the blame. 0.87

00:05:08.200 You told the media that I was a freaking snake and that you completely understood why I had 0.97

00:05:13.400 been assaulted. I was shocked that you would justify and celebrate this violent assault. 0.99

00:05:20.080 That caused me so much pain and my family so much pain. I just wonder if someone who

00:05:26.120 applauds violence against their political opponents is the right person to lead an agency

00:05:30.720 that has struggled to accept limits to the proper use of force. You might argue you were

00:05:36.140 mad and upset about being confronted by your constituents. Senator Mullinger, your constituents

00:05:42.660 are justifiably upset with you by now most of america knows that the somali welfare fraud in 0.67

00:05:48.380 minnesota stole over nine billion dollars but instead of defending your vote you took to

00:05:54.020 continue the vote to continue these refugee welfare programs you chose to lash out at me

00:06:00.180 you went on to brag that you'd already told me to my face that you completely understood and

00:06:06.400 approved of the assault well that's a lie you got a chance today you can either continue to lie or

00:06:12.380 you can correct the record. You have never had the courage to look me in the eye and tell me that

00:06:18.000 the assault was justified. So today you'll have your chance. Today I'll give you that chance to

00:06:23.160 clear the record. Tell it to my face. If that's what you believe, tell it to me today. Tell the

00:06:27.540 world why you believe I deserve to be assaulted from behind, have six ribs broken, and a damaged 0.99

00:06:34.000 lung. Tell me to my face why you think I deserved it. And while you're at it, explain to the American 0.92

00:06:39.320 public why they should trust a man with anger issues to set the proper example for ICE and

00:06:45.240 Border Patrol agents.

00:06:47.320 Explain to the American public how a man who has no regrets about brawling in a Senate

00:06:52.840 committee can set a proper example for over 250,000 men and women who work at the Department

00:06:57.840 of Homeland Security.

00:07:00.360 Senator Peters, you're recognized for your opening comment.

00:07:03.920 So Rand Paul, first you hear him blame President Trump for the attack on him.

00:07:07.980 And it's clear he's still mad about getting beat up by his neighbor.

00:07:12.680 What's that got to do with the price of tea in China?

00:07:16.020 I mean, nothing.

00:07:18.100 So he blames President Trump first for him getting beat up by his neighbor,

00:07:22.040 which he's probably had issues with for years,

00:07:26.360 because I don't think, at least I've never heard of a neighbor coming over

00:07:30.400 and just beating you up for the hell of it. 0.87

00:07:32.400 It's possible, I guess.

00:07:33.640 but usually things like that are provoked or stemming over a period of time just i've never

00:07:40.800 had that issue in my life and i'm sure most of you guys i mean we've all had bad neighbors

00:07:44.940 but have we ever went over and just beat them up for the hell of it no at least i can't say so

00:07:50.100 so rand paul first makes it about president trump and blames president trump for him getting beat up

00:07:55.540 by his neighbor getting launched catapulted 10 feet in the area it's almost like you'd

00:08:00.700 I think he's a UFC fighter, 10 feet in the air.

00:08:04.180 I stand about 6'1", thinking about getting catapulted 10 feet in the air.

00:08:09.380 Probably a pretty hard task for someone to do.

00:08:12.220 But then he goes on to blame Senator Mark Wayne Mullen.

00:08:16.280 Mark Wayne Mullen, I think, was a former semi-professional UFC fighter, an MMA fighter.

00:08:21.620 So he's going to fault him for his passive life of what he did to make money?

00:08:27.040 UFC is one of the biggest sports in America now

00:08:30.680 So it just doesn't make sense

00:08:33.820 He used his

00:08:34.760 As he usually does

00:08:36.920 His personal vendettas against people

00:08:40.320 Instead of keeping it on

00:08:44.380 Topic

00:08:45.260 Keeping it on

00:08:46.100 What is this really about Rand?

00:08:48.500 What is your issue with me really about?

00:08:51.640 Hit me on policy

00:08:52.540 Have I taken bad votes?

00:08:55.160 have i been anti-border have i been pro-illegal immigration no but paul can't do that and it's

00:09:06.700 much like the same thing with massey massey has tried to keep it on point is what he says

00:09:11.940 but for massey he's been calling president trump pretty much a pedophile for the last year

00:09:16.280 insinuating that he's he was on epstein island insinuating that he was in the epstein files

00:09:21.880 in a sense where it wasn't just his name in a phone book.

00:09:26.400 He's done it for a year.

00:09:28.660 It's what these people do.

00:09:31.200 They have something about them that they can't fathom,

00:09:34.900 and it's far worse than Trump derangement syndrome.

00:09:36.800 It's like a beta male syndrome.

00:09:38.620 But they can't fathom that President Trump is their president.

00:09:41.120 Folks, we're going to take a quick break here.

00:09:42.560 We're going to be back in less than 60 seconds.

00:09:44.600 The Great America Show continues.

00:09:46.320 If you thought that was bad by Rand Paul, it only gets worse.

00:09:49.140 but the good thing is is mark wayne mullin's a fighter and he doesn't take it we're coming

00:09:55.260 right back in less than 60 if you're joining us on rumble youtube twitter please be sure to smash

00:10:31.580 we appreciate you guys extra because you guys are with us from day one. So if you're joining us in

00:10:37.380 there, please be sure to leave us a review. So going back to Rand Paul now, who's got this Trump

00:10:42.860 derangement beta boy syndrome who's mad at the world for getting beat up by his neighbor

00:10:46.940 like it's our problem he goes a little bit further to to to try to uh cloudy

00:10:55.340 mark wayne mullen's name about a previous argument that mark wayne mullen had with the union boss

00:11:02.000 sean o'brien which we're going to bring you that clip too in full transparency to show you what

00:11:06.280 happen. But let's take a listen first about Rand Paul blowing it out of proportion.

00:11:12.020 If your anger had cooled, you were still bragging that if he'd only been brave enough to stand up,

00:11:17.120 you'd have jumped over the dais and taught him a lesson because that's how men should settle 0.99

00:11:21.280 their differences. Do you think fighting as a resolution for political difference is a good

00:11:26.060 example for the men and women of ICE and Border Patrol? As you can notice over my shoulder here

00:11:31.680 is my good friend Sean O'Brien.

00:11:34.380 Both of us have had conversations.

00:11:36.460 Both of us have shaken hands.

00:11:38.240 And both of us have agreed we could have done things different.

00:11:41.100 Sean is someone that has become a close friend.

00:11:43.140 We talk all the time.

00:11:44.720 I've been on his podcast.

00:11:46.120 We've talked through this.

00:11:47.640 That's how you handle your differences.

00:11:49.760 Not like this, Chairman.

00:11:52.880 I'm glad you guys are friends now and that you've reconciled.

00:11:56.420 But really, it doesn't get to the real point

00:11:58.580 whether or not you think violence is the way we settle things. 0.63

00:12:01.680 In the days after the fight, you said, and I quote, sometimes people just need to be punched in the face.

00:12:07.920 Is that still your opinion, that political disputes can sometimes and often only be resolved by violence?

00:12:15.480 No, I don't always agree with that.

00:12:19.060 I don't believe in political violence.

00:12:20.340 I've made that very clear.

00:12:22.680 But sometimes people do need, theoretically speaking, sir, I get it.

00:12:27.120 It's about character assassination for you.

00:12:28.960 That's the way this game is played.

00:12:30.280 I understand it.

00:12:30.900 and you are making this about you, which is fine,

00:12:33.340 but that doesn't keep me as Secretary of Homeland Security.

00:12:35.720 It's character assassination when you were the one lauding the assault.

00:12:38.360 Who do you think started that character assassination?

00:12:41.040 I'm just repeating what you have done in character assassination.

00:12:44.720 I'm repeating your support for the assault.

00:12:48.200 So that's somehow something I started?

00:12:50.620 No, sir. What I'm saying is you're adding a lot to it.

00:12:53.220 Yeah.

00:12:54.260 In the days after the fight, you did many interviews

00:12:56.660 in which you justified the violence as historically justified by precedence.

00:13:00.900 such as caning and dueling.

00:13:03.760 Is it today your opinion that the caning of Charles Sumner

00:13:07.100 was not only justified but argues still for resolving our political differences with violence?

00:13:13.800 What I was simply pointing out is some of the rules that still apply to this body.

00:13:18.480 For instance, dueling with two consenting adults is still there.

00:13:23.480 I was pointing out what is still...

00:13:24.960 It's been illegal for 170 years.

00:13:27.740 There's no precedent for legal dueling.

00:13:29.900 dueling. Even then they fled the country. Do you realize that the man that beat Charles Sumner with 0.60

00:13:35.820 a cane, he beat him till he was unconscious? You know why no senators intervened? Because his

00:13:40.540 friend held a gun on the other senators and he kept beating him and beating him until he crushed

00:13:44.940 his skull. That's what you're insinuating as the president of the Senate. And that's what you live

00:13:50.040 by. And that is a very, very dangerous sentiment. So once again, making it about himself. Oh,

00:13:59.900 i'm very mad at you uh mark wayne mullen i'm mad that uh you're not some beta male like me i'm mad 0.86

00:14:06.720 that you've had a past life as a an mma fighter i'm past that uh i'm upset about that that i still 0.90

00:14:13.860 got beat up by my neighbor i mean how much more pathetic does it get from rand paul having to air 0.90

00:14:20.240 out his uh differences personal differences and that's the problem with this man he can't deal 0.92

00:14:26.520 with his personal differences and his political differences because there are no clear political

00:14:31.580 differences between them but mullen doesn't back down let's take a listen to him chairman made

00:14:37.440 uh calling me a liar sir i think there's everybody in this room knows that i'm very blunt and direct

00:14:44.060 to the point and if i have something to say i'll say it directly to your face if you recall back

00:14:48.660 in your back in my house days we actually did have this conversation because remarks that i've made

00:14:53.980 You were in a room.

00:14:56.100 I simply addressed that I said I could understand because of the behavior you were having,

00:15:01.220 that I could understand why the neighbor did what he did.

00:15:05.260 As far as my terms as a snake in the grass, sir, I work around this room to try to fix problems.

00:15:11.040 I've worked with many people in this room.

00:15:13.180 Seems like you fight Republicans more than you work with us.

00:15:15.980 I did address those remarks.

00:15:17.860 I did explain your gimmicks by the amendment you put forth.

00:15:21.940 And as far as me saying that I invoke violence, I don't.

00:15:25.940 I don't think anybody should be hit by surprise.

00:15:28.320 I don't like that.

00:15:29.280 But if I do have something to say, everybody in this room knows I'll come straight to you.

00:15:34.660 I'll say it publicly and I'll say it privately, but I'll never say it behind your back.

00:15:38.700 So for you to say, I'm a liar, sir, that's not accurate.

00:15:43.440 And I got proof to say that because you have spent millions of dollars in my campaigns against me

00:15:48.360 because we just don't get along.

00:15:50.600 However, sir, that doesn't keep me at all from doing my job.

00:15:55.940 I can have different opinions with everybody in this room,

00:15:58.120 but as Secretary of Homeland, I'll be protecting everybody,

00:16:01.840 including Kentucky, as much as I will my own back guard in Oklahoma.

00:16:05.280 It's bigger than the partisan bickering that we have.

00:16:08.900 It's bigger than the political differences we have.

00:16:11.660 The truth is I have a job to do, and I don't like to fail at anything at all.

00:16:18.540 So I can set it aside if you're willing to set it aside.

00:16:23.000 Let me earn your respect.

00:16:24.760 And he's completely right.

00:16:27.340 It's not about being a tough guy.

00:16:29.540 Nobody wants to hear people talking about them behind their backs.

00:16:31.800 Say it to their face.

00:16:32.720 It's not, like I said, about being this big, tough guy.

00:16:35.500 It's about having the respect to let someone know how you feel about them

00:16:39.480 rather than be a snake, like Mullen has said.

00:16:42.360 Because what Rand Paul has done has been be a snake

00:16:45.400 over the course of the last year at least.

00:16:50.640 Do everything he could to undermine President Trump

00:16:52.800 and the Republican Party.

00:16:56.200 So he has a snake.

00:16:58.080 And Mullen called him out to his face.

00:16:59.480 So what is he talking about?

00:17:00.520 What is Rand Paul talking about?

00:17:02.420 Well, he's talking about Senator Mullen's fight

00:17:04.360 with union boss Sean O'Brien a couple of years back

00:17:07.480 where Mullen called him out.

00:17:10.780 He called him out for taking advantage of his union members.

00:17:13.840 if someone's not going to stand up and fight for these people who pay ridiculous amounts of union

00:17:19.320 dues and gets shitty representation in some cases then who's going to do it so let's take a listen

00:17:24.680 to what the whole fight was about what do you bring for that salary what do i bring yeah what

00:17:28.820 do you what job have you committed or have you have you uh uh started what job have you created

00:17:34.780 one job other than sucking the paycheck out of some other by somebody else that you want to say 0.63

00:17:40.580 that you're trying to provide

00:17:41.860 because you're forcing them to pay dues?

00:17:43.680 No, we don't force them.

00:17:44.420 Senator, you've asked the question.

00:17:45.320 You're out of line.

00:17:46.260 Actually, I haven't.

00:17:47.060 And don't tell me I'm out of line.

00:17:47.840 You are out of line.

00:17:48.440 Don't tell me I'm out of line.

00:17:49.440 Well, you frame.

00:17:50.240 Don't tell me.

00:17:50.660 You frame the statement. 1.00

00:17:52.640 You need to shut your mouth 0.99

00:17:53.660 because you don't know what you're talking about. 1.00

00:17:54.780 You're going to tell me to shut my mouth?

00:17:55.720 Yes, I do.

00:17:56.180 Hold it.

00:17:56.800 Hold it.

00:17:57.240 Tough guy.

00:17:57.860 I'm not afraid of physical.

00:17:58.980 Senator, hold it.

00:18:00.020 But don't sit there and tell me I'm out of line.

00:18:02.680 Senator, you made a statement.

00:18:05.020 You asked the question.

00:18:05.680 I didn't ask the question.

00:18:06.480 You did it. I answered the question.

00:18:07.920 You asked the question about how many people let him answer.

00:18:11.840 It was a rhetorical question.

00:18:13.280 Well, you may think it's rhetorical.

00:18:15.160 It sounded to me like a question.

00:18:17.360 Let him answer the question.

00:18:18.980 I'm not yielding my time to him.

00:18:20.260 So if you're going to let me keep my time, that's fine.

00:18:21.940 You'll have your time.

00:18:23.380 Let him, you ask a question.

00:18:25.860 He hasn't liked to answer that.

00:18:27.080 As far as my salary goes, my salary, if you follow me around, I walk, I actually look at this building.

00:18:32.640 I bet you I work more hours than you do.

00:18:34.560 Twice as many hours.

00:18:35.080 That's impossible.

00:18:35.900 No, that's true.

00:18:37.100 Sir, you don't know what hard work is.

00:18:38.420 You want to follow my schedule?

00:18:39.620 Secondly, I'll do it in a minute.

00:18:41.300 We hold greedy CEOs like yourself accountable.

00:18:44.600 You call me a greedy CEO?

00:18:45.600 Oh, yeah, you are. 0.97

00:18:46.640 You want to attack my salary, I'll attack you up.

00:18:48.760 What did you make when you owned your company?

00:18:51.220 When I made my company, I kept my salary down at about $50,000 a year because I invested every penny into it.

00:18:56.700 Okay, all right.

00:18:57.900 You mean you hid money?

00:18:59.400 No, I didn't hide money.

00:19:00.040 Oh, hold on a second.

00:19:01.760 so that's what the fight started over so rand paul wants to make like this one way thing so

00:19:08.440 uh later on in it for one um mullen had repeated some of the things that sean o'brien had said

00:19:15.020 about him like he's self-made sir i wish he was in the truck with me when i was building my

00:19:20.220 plumbing company myself and my wife was running the office because i sure remember working pretty

00:19:26.960 hard and long hours.

00:19:29.040 Pretends like he's self-made. 1.00

00:19:30.800 What a clown. 1.00

00:19:32.420 Fraud. Always has been. 1.00

00:19:35.160 Always will be.

00:19:36.920 Quit the tough guy act

00:19:38.740 and these Senate hearings. You know where to

00:19:40.840 find me. Any place,

00:19:42.840 any time, cowboy.

00:19:45.820 Sir, this is a time,

00:19:46.900 this is a place. If you want to run your mouth,

00:19:49.460 we can be two consenting adults.

00:19:50.740 We can finish it here. Okay, that's fine.

00:19:52.820 Perfect. You want to do it now? I'd love to do it

00:19:54.860 right now. Well, stand your butt up then. You stand 0.98

00:19:56.780 you're a bun-up. Oh, hold it. Oh, hold, stop it. 0.99

00:19:59.200 Is that your solution? Have you pulled it?

00:20:00.820 No, no, sit down. Sit down.

00:20:02.680 No, no, you're a United States senator.

00:20:04.840 Sit down. Okay. Sit down, please.

00:20:06.960 All right. Can I respond? Hold it.

00:20:08.900 Hold it.

00:20:10.860 If we can't, no, I have the mic.

00:20:12.820 I'm sorry. Hold it. You'll have

00:20:14.940 your time. Okay. Can I respond?

00:20:17.420 My favorite part about that whole

00:20:18.880 thing is good old Bernie Sanders

00:20:20.800 being the Bruce Buffer.

00:20:23.680 So that was later on

00:20:24.780 a different hearing that the whole thing exploded. Clear rifts between the two who Mullen has now

00:20:30.200 said they put their differences aside. And this is long before Mullen decided he was going to

00:20:34.700 take over at DHS. As a matter of fact, I think they've been pretty close now for the last year

00:20:41.040 or so, two years. So that's what Rand Paul is all about. This is how human beings handle their

00:20:47.360 differences. You come up with an issue, you find an issue, you debate the issue, you argue it.

00:20:52.000 Sometimes it ends in something like that.

00:20:55.060 Sometimes it's just verbal.

00:20:56.640 And then you move on.

00:20:58.420 But Rand Paul can't seem to do that.

00:21:00.420 Folks, we're taking a quick break here.

00:21:01.780 On the other side of this quick break, Joe Kent out over at DNI.

00:21:07.920 Tulsi Gabbard responds.

00:21:09.240 Also, President Trump responds.

00:21:11.220 President Trump going after some NATO countries.

00:21:13.600 He's had enough.

00:21:14.580 All of that and much, much more on the other side of this quick break.

00:21:17.020 Please stay with us, folks.

00:21:17.920 We're coming right back.

00:21:22.000 thanks everybody for staying with us here on the great america show so joe kent is

00:21:28.340 out at dni sending this letter to president trump we'll just paraphrase and we'll read a

00:21:34.580 little bit of it president trump after much reflection i've decided to resign my post as

00:21:38.760 director of national counterterrorism center affected today i cannot in good conscience

00:21:43.040 support the ongoing war in iran iran posed no imminent threat to our nation and it's clear

00:21:47.980 we started this war due to pressure from israel and its powerful america lobby he goes on then 0.53

00:21:54.200 to say and this is key so i want you to pay attention to this because i think it tells you

00:22:00.440 everything you need to know i support the values and the foreign policies that you campaigned on

00:22:04.160 in 16 2024 which you enacted in your first term until june of 2025 you understood the wars in the

00:22:10.100 middle east were a trap that robbed the americans of precious lives of our patriots and depleted 1.00

00:22:15.220 the wealth and prosperity of our nation and it's interesting that he put those years in there

00:22:19.620 because joe kent up until a few months ago held a very strong policy going after iran just a few

00:22:28.860 months ago they're still registering for the draft aren't they like that's that's the logical

00:22:33.080 conclusion to the direction that we're heading in right now unless we make some serious changes

00:22:36.800 i mean it's already it's i've already heard rumors that fifth group is going to be sending

00:22:42.940 guys to iraq because of the escalated um oh yeah situation with iran now yeah i mean uh most

00:22:50.480 americans aren't aware of it we've our troops in iraq and syria have been attacked 150 plus times

00:22:55.640 by iranian proxies and when we say iranian proxies we got to be clear on what that is

00:22:59.660 that's the iraqi government that we pay because after the iraqi military we spent two trillion

00:23:04.400 on surrendered to isis we had to go back in there in very short order and stand the military back

00:23:09.200 up again and guess who filled the breach the shia militias controlled by iran did and the

00:23:13.660 iraqi government's controlled by iran so these are so you know he goes in there and says oh i

00:23:19.080 agreed with your policies up until then then all of a sudden he changes his mind now it's been said

00:23:24.380 that kent has been the source of many leaks that came out of the dni uh and they stopped giving

00:23:29.700 him classified briefings um in regard to the iranian war um some months ago because they had

00:23:37.800 suspected that he was leaking. And it was also intimated that they asked Tulsi Gabbard to fire

00:23:44.160 him months ago. So now Kent is out on a taking a victory lap. Here's what President Trump had to

00:23:50.500 say about it yesterday afternoon. Your director of national counterterrorism, Joe Kent, he just

00:23:55.920 resigned today. He said he can't support your conflict with Iran. What's your reaction to that?

00:24:01.320 And did you? Well, I read his statement. I always thought he was a nice guy, but I always thought

00:24:05.080 He was weak on security, very weak on security.

00:24:09.580 I didn't know him well, but I thought he seemed like a pretty nice guy.

00:24:14.880 But when I read his statement, I realized that it's a good thing that he's out,

00:24:19.540 because he said that Iran was not a threat.

00:24:23.160 Iran was a threat. 1.00

00:24:24.720 Every country realized what a threat Iran was. 1.00

00:24:27.440 The question is whether or not they wanted to do something about it.

00:24:30.120 And many people, many of the greatest military scholars are saying for years that presidents should have taken out Iran because they wanted a nuclear weapon.

00:24:39.460 They were, if we didn't do the attack, or if I'll go a step further, if I didn't terminate the Iran nuclear deal given to us, one of the worst deals ever made by Barack Hussein Obama.

00:24:50.800 Remember when they sent Boeing 757s over there? Loaded with cash. Hundreds of millions of dollars.

00:24:57.960 You would have been very happy. This was a wonderful. They said hundreds of millions.

00:25:03.160 People forget that. Does anybody remember? Right. You remember hundreds of millions of dollars in a Boeing 757.

00:25:11.420 I think that two of them loaded. They took the seats out and they put cash.

00:25:16.360 And it was so much that there wasn't a bank in Virginia, Maryland or D.C. that had any money left.

00:25:22.500 They stripped him of all their money, put it into place, sent it to Iran, almost as ransom.

00:25:29.440 That's not going to happen with Trump.

00:25:31.780 And nobody ever did anything about it.

00:25:34.020 Nobody ever said anything about it.

00:25:35.500 Can you imagine if I did that?

00:25:37.480 So they've been a threat for a long time.

00:25:40.040 But they've really been a threat.

00:25:41.980 If I didn't terminate Obama's horrible deal that he made, the Iran nuclear deal,

00:25:47.440 you would have had a nuclear war four years ago.

00:25:52.500 You would have had nuclear holocaust and you would have had it again if we didn't bomb the site. 0.97

00:25:58.680 So when somebody is working with us that says they didn't think Iran was a threat, we don't want those people because.

00:26:08.180 And there are some people, I guess I would say that, but they're not smart people or they're not savvy people.

00:26:13.720 Iran was a tremendous threat and virtually every NATO nation. 1.00

00:26:17.880 And this is the thing. If they told me it wasn't a threat and therefore they don't want to help.

00:26:22.860 But when they say it was a threat and it was a major threat, every one of them, I think every one of them.

00:26:29.700 I don't know if one that said they're not a threat, but when they say it was a threat, but we're not going to help. 0.99

00:26:37.160 I think they're very foolish. 0.91

00:26:38.440 You know, it's interesting because I could say this, that what's happening in Ukraine, we're probably in there for $400 billion. 0.99

00:26:48.880 We don't spend any money anymore.

00:26:50.540 They buy it from us and they pay full price.

00:26:52.660 But Biden gave them between $350 and $400 billion of equipment and cash.

00:26:59.440 Some of them have to find out about the cash.

00:27:02.780 And you could say that wasn't a threat.

00:27:05.680 You know, we're helping them.

00:27:07.000 So we helped them and they didn't help us. And I think that's a very bad thing for NATO.

00:27:12.860 I think it's very telling President Trump calling out NATO there in that meeting. He also called out Japan, Australia and South Korea for failing to help us out to patrol the Strait of Hormuz, which is home to civilian ships.

00:27:31.480 It's not military ships coming through there in a sense. Yeah, it's some of them, but there's civilian oil tankers coming through there. There's civilian ships coming through there who are shipping commodities. So these people are putting their folks at risk, their civilians at risk by just simply not helping. And President Trump called them out. Now, going back quickly to Joe Kent for a second there, Tulsi Gabbard has been all on board with President Trump going into Iran.

00:27:59.020 The ICSS is that Operation Epic Fury is advancing fundamental change in the region that began with Hamas's attack on Israel on October 7th, 2023, and continued with the 12-day war last year, resulting in weakening Iran and its proxies.

00:28:16.520 The ICSS is the regime in Iran appears to be intact, but largely degraded due to attacks on its leadership and military capabilities.

00:28:25.680 Its conventional military power projection capabilities have largely been destroyed, leaving limited options.

00:28:32.480 Iran's strategic position has been significantly degraded.

00:28:37.060 The U.S.-led maximum pressure campaign and snapback of European sanctions added additional pressure to an already bleak Iranian economy,

00:28:44.720 resulting in mass protests earlier this year that Tehran suppressed by killing thousands of protesters.

00:28:50.440 Even if the regime remains intact, the IC assesses that internal tensions are likely to increase as Iran's economy worsens.

00:29:01.720 Even so, Iran and its proxies continue to attack U.S. and allied interests in the Middle East.

00:29:08.860 The IC assesses that if a hostile regime survives, it will likely seek to begin a years-long effort to rebuild its military missiles and UAV forces.

00:29:17.440 forces prior to operation epic fury the icss's iran was trying to recover from the severe damage

00:29:24.620 to its nuclear infrastructure sustained during the 12-day war and continued to refuse to comply

00:29:29.860 with its nuclear obligations with the iaea refusing them access to key facilities

00:29:34.620 did you listen to your boss there joe kent the director of national intelligence

00:29:40.540 who reiterated that they continue to try to develop their nuclear program after they were

00:29:45.940 blowing up the first time how about that joe kent these people inside the government folks
