00:00:00.000 Talking about rewards for justice, I know that falls under Department of State,
00:00:04.440 but I was speaking to a previous DOJ individual,
00:00:08.120 and he says the rewards for justice is a very big role.
00:00:11.220 So, for instance, right now we have Iran going on. 0.91
00:00:13.820 We saw Venezuela on how smooth it was going in, boom, took him. 1.00
00:00:18.240 We woke up.
00:00:18.920 Wait a minute.
00:00:19.420 What happened?
00:00:20.160 Nothing.
00:00:20.720 So no thousands of U.S. soldiers?
00:00:24.000 You know, no.
00:00:24.760 So no 19-year-old lost?
00:00:26.660 No.
00:00:27.120 Wow.
00:00:27.400 And Maduro's in America now?
00:00:29.380 Yes.
00:00:29.540 How was it done?
00:00:30.680 Well, you know, sometimes we have different mechanisms of what we do.
00:00:33.540 When it comes down to rewards for justice, where we give away, you know, a million to
00:00:37.600 $25 million, whether we find the individual or sometimes, do we ever do this?
00:00:43.000 And you may just shut it down at the beginning or you say, yes, Iran right now, we're sending 0.95
00:00:47.780 everybody, not everybody, but a lot of folks that are going over there, the B-52 bombers,
00:00:52.300 all these things that are going, they're getting ready to see what's going to happen.
00:00:55.480 Would we in a situation like Iran consider using rewards of justice to get some of their lieutenants to turn against the Khamenei, or that wouldn't work with a regime like Iran? 0.73
00:01:10.700 I can't speak to that in particular, and nor should I. But I think that the president recognizes the real threat that the Iranian regime is and is willing to use every authority that he has to make sure that the American people can be safe. 0.99
00:01:29.300 He's been very clear about stating where that red line is, and he's followed through on that every single time.
00:01:36.860 So I think that's what's so important right now is when you're dealing with the Iranian regime or any other country that's threatened us, Russia, North Korea, these countries, is that they know that we have a president that does what he says he's going to do and is strong and will use the authorities that he has.
00:01:53.760 So that could be something, although I haven't had that discussion in particular with the president.
00:01:58.820 I don't know if that tactic works with radicals.
00:02:03.820 But listen, I would put it on the list.
00:02:05.900 If I had a job like that working on Pennsylvania, I may consider that job.
00:02:10.380 I think that could work in the Western Hemisphere.
00:02:13.300 I don't know if that works with IRGC.
00:02:15.220 Who knows?
00:02:16.380 Who knows?
00:02:17.060 I don't know what you can do with that money that's given to his direct reports.
00:02:21.260 I do know at any given moment something could happen,
00:02:24.540 and especially when, you know, Whitcoff and Kushner.
00:02:29.040 And by the way, forgive me by saying last names.
00:02:30.820 I'm a former military guy, so we call everybody by their last names.
00:02:34.040 But it was very obvious when they went in and they made the offer,
00:02:38.540 oh, you want to keep negotiating? We're out of here.
00:02:40.380 And now you see their foreign minister coming in and saying,
00:02:42.760 hey, you know what, we'll be open to this and we'll be open to that.
00:02:46.380 It looks like it's the point of no return,
00:02:48.300 and I don't want to put you in a position to answer for that one
00:02:51.380 so we can move on to the next story.
