Latest / The Ben Ferguson Podcast / "Death to America" the Supreme Leader's Chilling Foreign Policy
Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: Do you believe that Iran should be able to have
- 0:06Speaker 1: a nuclear weapon?
- 0:07Speaker 2: Now?
- 0:07Speaker 1: I asked that question in the context of the latest
- 0:11Speaker 1: news coming out of Iran, Iran Supreme leader on obtaining
- 0:17Speaker 1: a nuclear weapon or nuclear weapons plural.
- 0:21Speaker 3: I want you to understand what he said.
- 0:23Speaker 1: These are his words. This is a Ran Supreme leader quote.
- 0:27Speaker 1: Death to America is not just a slogan, it's a policy. Now,
- 0:32Speaker 1: the second question you then have to ask yourself is
- 0:36Speaker 1: who in their right mind would want a genocidal regime
- 0:40Speaker 1: to obtain nuclear weapons? If their stated purpose and goal. Again,
- 0:45Speaker 1: this is from Iran's supreme leader. Death to America is
- 0:48Speaker 1: not just a slogan, it's a policy. Mark Levin tweeted
- 0:53Speaker 1: out this, no nukes for Iran. These are genocidal maniacs.
- 0:58Speaker 1: It's a terrorism regime. More important that we protect our
- 1:02Speaker 1: country from their nuclear bombs, then we protect their nuclear
- 1:06Speaker 1: sites from our bombs.
- 1:08Speaker 3: There are no second chances. Now, I go back to
- 1:13Speaker 3: the core of what.
- 1:13Speaker 1: I've been saying about Iran in their nuclear program for
- 1:16Speaker 1: a long time. When they tell you they want to
- 1:18Speaker 1: wipe you off the face of the earth, you might
- 1:19Speaker 1: want to believe them.
- 1:21Speaker 3: When the Rand.
- 1:22Speaker 1: Supreme Leader tells you that quote death to America is
- 1:24Speaker 1: not just a slogan, it's policy. Believe them when they
- 1:28Speaker 1: got in the streets and they refer to Israel, for example,
- 1:31Speaker 1: as the little Satan, in America as the big Satan,
- 1:34Speaker 1: and they chant death to Israel and death to America
- 1:37Speaker 1: and from the river.
- 1:38Speaker 3: To the sea.
- 1:39Speaker 1: Believe them, like they're telling you exactly what they believe.
- 1:44Speaker 1: I don't understand why people don't believe them when this
- 1:48Speaker 1: is what they are actually saying now in this press conference.
- 1:52Speaker 1: And obviously it's not in English, so I'm going to
- 1:54Speaker 1: read what he had to say.
- 1:57Speaker 3: This is the exact words.
- 1:58Speaker 1: It's going to be translated, so not to bear with me,
- 2:01Speaker 1: but this is all of what the Iranian Supreme Leader
- 2:03Speaker 1: had to say about the nuclear weapons about America. He said, quote,
- 2:06Speaker 1: when you chant death to America, it's not just a slogan,
- 2:10Speaker 1: it's a policy.
- 2:13Speaker 3: Let that sink in. That was statement one.
- 2:15Speaker 4: He said.
- 2:16Speaker 1: I have stated the reasons previously for many years, from
- 2:21Speaker 1: the nineteen forties to the seventies, that is thirty years,
- 2:25Speaker 1: he said.
- 2:27Speaker 3: Thirty years.
- 2:29Speaker 1: The Americans did everything they could to go against the
- 2:35Speaker 1: Iranian policy. They hit Iran anyway they could financially, economically, politically, scientifically,
- 2:42Speaker 1: and morally.
- 2:44Speaker 3: Now he's saying this in front of everybody in.
- 2:45Speaker 1: Iran on TV there just so you understand, if it
- 2:49Speaker 1: were not for American support, if it were not for
- 2:52Speaker 1: the support of US weapons. He goes on to say,
- 2:57Speaker 1: the corrupt and artificial Zionist regime would have destroyed in
- 3:00Speaker 1: the first week. Pretty interesting for the guys in charge Iran.
- 3:04Speaker 1: It would have collapsed. The Americans are behind this. Now
- 3:09Speaker 1: he's saying all of these things he said in Western countries,
- 3:12Speaker 1: in England, France, Italy and various other various US states.
- 3:16Speaker 1: So he's admitting like who he's saying as the enemy,
- 3:19Speaker 1: and America is at the head of it all. So
- 3:24Speaker 1: this is what he believes, which goes back to the
- 3:27Speaker 1: question why would anyone want Iran to have nuclear weapons?
- 3:33Speaker 1: President Donald Trump, by the way, was asked on Air
- 3:35Speaker 1: Force one, this is back I don't know ten days
- 3:38Speaker 1: ago about Iran, And here's what the President said on
- 3:42Speaker 1: Air Force one.
- 3:44Speaker 3: I want them not to have an OCLU weapon.
- 3:45Speaker 5: I want Iran to be a wonderful, great, happy country,
- 3:49Speaker 5: but they can't have a nuclear weapon. And I want
- 3:51Speaker 5: them to flourish, but they can't have a nuclear weapon.
- 3:54Speaker 1: Now there's people that say that's radical, that that's an
- 3:57Speaker 1: extreme viewpoint, asking for trouble.
- 4:00Speaker 3: All right, So let's go back and.
- 4:02Speaker 1: Just look at the history of this issue with Donald Trump.
- 4:06Speaker 1: During President Trump's first presidency, one of his administration's key
- 4:11Speaker 1: foreign policy achievements was implementing a quote maximum pressure campaign
- 4:15Speaker 1: against Iran by withdrawing from the twenty fifteen rand nuclear deal,
- 4:19Speaker 1: which was again done by Biden and Obama. And that
- 4:23Speaker 1: deal was a disaster. It gave them billions of dollars
- 4:26Speaker 1: in cash, It allowed them to start up their nuclear
- 4:28Speaker 1: program in essence, and it allowed them to skirt sanctions.
- 4:32Speaker 3: Like you wouldn't believe.
- 4:34Speaker 1: It gave them a lot of money, which helped them
- 4:36Speaker 1: get to where they're this close to a nuclear weapon.
- 4:39Speaker 3: Now.
- 4:39Speaker 1: Now, Trump reimposed the harsh economic sanctions that significantly reduced
- 4:44Speaker 1: Iran's oil exports and strained its economy. This effort quote
- 4:49Speaker 1: aimed to curb Iran's ability to fund advance its nuclear program.
- 4:52Speaker 1: The administration also increased US military presence in the region
- 4:56Speaker 1: and carried out strategic actions, most notably the targeted killing
- 5:00Speaker 1: of Iranian General Solmani in twenty twenty, which signaled a
- 5:04Speaker 1: strong deterrent stance. These actions were credited by some analysts
- 5:08Speaker 1: and allies as preventing Iran from openly accelerating its nuclear
- 5:11Speaker 1: weapons development during the Trump administration his first term in office.
- 5:16Speaker 1: Now you look at Iran's response, okay. Iran's response to
- 5:21Speaker 1: Trump's pressure campaign was met with obviously fiery rhetoric and
- 5:26Speaker 1: threats against the US, including vows of quote retaliation and
- 5:29Speaker 1: warnings of regional escalation. However, what happened well, despite the
- 5:33Speaker 1: aggressive language, Iran largely avoided direct, large scale military confrontations
- 5:38Speaker 1: and conflicts during the time that Trump was in office.
- 5:41Speaker 3: They weren't helping.
- 5:42Speaker 1: People, you know, carry out the attacks on Israel. For example,
- 5:46Speaker 1: Iran was behind that and helped with the training and
- 5:49Speaker 1: the funding of the attack on Israel.
- 5:51Speaker 3: We know that. Would they have done that if Trump
- 5:53Speaker 3: was present?
- 5:54Speaker 1: I don't believe that they would have because they would
- 5:56Speaker 1: have known there would have been hell to pay the
- 5:57Speaker 1: next day or that night. Now, some saw of this
- 6:01Speaker 1: is evidence that Trump's hard line approach was effective in
- 6:06Speaker 1: deterring more severe provocations, or really another way of putting
- 6:10Speaker 1: it as nuclear advancements all together. Now you look at
- 6:15Speaker 1: what I just told you, and we go back to
- 6:17Speaker 1: where we are. Now you have a president of the
- 6:20Speaker 1: United States of America who has said I'm not going
- 6:24Speaker 1: to allow them to get a nuclear weapon, and now
- 6:26Speaker 1: you have the media. It's like, well, who are we
- 6:28Speaker 1: to tell them that this is something that you can't do?
- 6:32Speaker 3: Right? Who are we to tell them?
- 6:34Speaker 1: I look at this and I'm like, what insane person
- 6:37Speaker 1: would believe that a Ran should have nuclear weapons? If
- 6:40Speaker 1: their stated goal is to annihilate America and to annihilate Israel.
- 6:45Speaker 1: They're saying their policy is destroying America. Well, if you
- 6:48Speaker 1: have a nuclear weapon, you're much closer to being able
- 6:50Speaker 1: to do that. Mark on his TV show Life, Livery
- 6:54Speaker 1: and Levin had a very interesting conversation two weeks ago
- 6:59Speaker 1: about out Iran and Iran getting a nuclear weapon and
- 7:03Speaker 1: what that could possibly look like. I want you to
- 7:06Speaker 1: take a listen to what he had to say, and
- 7:08Speaker 1: his guests is they had this exact conversation.
- 7:11Speaker 6: Either of those Zudy Jasser who say, well, you know
- 7:16Speaker 6: it's Israel trying to drag us into a war. These warmongers,
- 7:19Speaker 6: these neocons trying to drag us into a war. I
- 7:22Speaker 6: guess Donald Trump is now a warmonger in a neocon
- 7:25Speaker 6: and in ISRAELI I don't know. But that said, aren't
- 7:30Speaker 6: we really talking about the capacity to destroy some of
- 7:35Speaker 6: our cities with intercontinental ballistic missiles. We don't have an
- 7:38Speaker 6: iron dome like Israel has. We don't really have a
- 7:41Speaker 6: system in place to systematically prevent hypersonic or at least
- 7:46Speaker 6: intercontinent ballistic missiles from hitting our country. They don't need
- 7:49Speaker 6: intercontinental ballistic missiles which they've developed to hit Israel. Those
- 7:54Speaker 6: are intermediary missiles. These intercontinental ballistic missiles are intended to
- 7:59Speaker 6: go seven thousand miles, twelve thousand miles, every number of
- 8:03Speaker 6: miles they need to go. Is they fully developed the
- 8:05Speaker 6: technology and so forth? Why should we sit back? Listen
- 8:09Speaker 6: to this cabal who said, don't worry about it. Don't
- 8:11Speaker 6: worry about it. Got the whole future mankind at stake here?
- 8:16Speaker 7: No, absolutely, you know listen, I was the Navy officer
- 8:19Speaker 7: as a doc, and the last thing I want to
- 8:20Speaker 7: see is fighting wars, unnecessary wars.
- 8:23Speaker 3: But I will tell you.
- 8:24Speaker 7: The warmongers are the one that the ones that would
- 8:27Speaker 7: allow Iran to get a nuclear weapon. The warmongers are
- 8:30Speaker 7: the ones that would not actually try to prevent their
- 8:34Speaker 7: nuclear armamentation. And that's what Obama was, that's what Biden was.
- 8:38Speaker 7: The JCPOA let me remind you back from twenty sixteen
- 8:41Speaker 7: basically handed them billions that then under Biden they funneled
- 8:46Speaker 7: to Hamas to then basically allow a genocide against Israel
- 8:49Speaker 7: against the Jews and commit the Act of War of
- 8:52Speaker 7: October seventh, and then Israel has had to protect itself
- 8:55Speaker 7: since then because Iran funneled money to Hamas and used.
- 8:59Speaker 2: That spark more wars.
- 9:01Speaker 7: So ultimately, today President Trump is annihilating Hutis because they
- 9:06Speaker 7: are targeting our ships. So I'm sorry, if we sit back,
- 9:10Speaker 7: they're going to attack us. We need to prevent wars
- 9:13Speaker 7: by doing surgical strikes to prevent nuclear armamentation. And ultimately
- 9:17Speaker 7: their breakout time has decreased because of the Biden fecklessness,
- 9:22Speaker 7: and we need to broaden that. And if we get
- 9:25Speaker 7: them to the table, which I hope President Trump can do,
- 9:27Speaker 7: it's all about disarmamentation, not about handing them money. We
- 9:31Speaker 7: need to have maximum pressure, weaken their economy because ultimately,
- 9:35Speaker 7: mark the best anti nuclear program will be to weaken
- 9:38Speaker 7: their economy. Because the reason that Iranian people are so
- 9:42Speaker 7: pro Trump and pro America because they saw their last
- 9:45Speaker 7: revolution during the first Trump administration in twenty seventeen happened
- 9:50Speaker 7: when the economic spine of Iran was breaking, and now
- 9:53Speaker 7: it's going to break again as we reimpose maximum pressure
- 9:56Speaker 7: and it allow the revolutions to happen, and we can
- 9:59Speaker 7: step back. And just as long as you make sure
- 10:01Speaker 7: they don't have nuclear weapons.
- 10:03Speaker 1: As long as we make sure they don't have nuclear weapons,
- 10:06Speaker 1: what a great idea.
- 10:08Speaker 3: I look at what this president's doing right now.
- 10:10Speaker 1: You're saying, I'm going to go back to exactly what
- 10:12Speaker 1: we did last time, and I'm going to make sure
- 10:14Speaker 1: they don't get nuclear weapons. And if you think they
- 10:17Speaker 1: are going to get nuclear weapons while I'm president, you're wrong.
- 10:21Speaker 1: You know, this is a president that stands up to
- 10:23Speaker 1: people and it usually works out to our advantage.
- 10:27Speaker 3: Let me give you the breaking news.
- 10:29Speaker 1: The United States and Ukraine have quote officially just signed
- 10:34Speaker 1: significant minerals agreements, marking a pivotal moment in their bilateral
- 10:40Speaker 1: relations and Ukraine's post war reconstruction efforts. That's the headline
- 10:46Speaker 1: they're going to have a joint investment fund. The deal
- 10:49Speaker 1: establishes the United States Ukraine Reconstruction Investment Fund, a fifty
- 10:52Speaker 1: to fifty partnership aimed at the developing Ukraine's vast mineral resources,
- 10:57Speaker 1: including rare earth.
- 10:58Speaker 3: Elements, oil, and gas.
- 11:00Speaker 1: This fund is designed to attract global investment support Ukraine's
- 11:04Speaker 1: economic recovery. While the US gains preferential access to Ukraine's
- 11:09Speaker 1: critical minerals, The agreement insures that Ukraine retains full control
- 11:13Speaker 1: over its resources. The US does not obtained automatic control
- 11:16Speaker 1: or rights over Ukraine's mineral or gas infrastructure. So again,
- 11:20Speaker 1: this is the present saying, hey, America is not going
- 11:22Speaker 1: to be on the hook for all this money we
- 11:24Speaker 1: keep giving you.
- 11:24Speaker 3: If you think that you're.
- 11:25Speaker 1: Going to just keep getting all this cash from.
- 11:27Speaker 3: Us, you're wrong.
- 11:28Speaker 1: Now what we will do is will do a mental
- 11:29Speaker 1: rights deal with you, which is good for our citizens
- 11:32Speaker 1: and your country. Here's the details which get Americans off
- 11:36Speaker 1: the hook.
- 11:37Speaker 3: Financially for Ukraine. There's revenue sharing.
- 11:41Speaker 1: Ukraine will contribute fifty percent of future revenues from state
- 11:46Speaker 1: owned mineral resources to the joint fund. This arrangement is
- 11:49Speaker 1: seen as a strategic move to intertwine US financial interests
- 11:53Speaker 1: with Ukraine's stability and growth. Now there's also quote no
- 11:58Speaker 1: security guarantees. The agreement does not include explicit US security
- 12:03Speaker 1: guarantees for Ukraine. However, Ukrainian officials view the economic partnership
- 12:08Speaker 1: as a step towards deeper strategic.
- 12:09Speaker 3: Alignment with the US.
- 12:11Speaker 1: So this is a massive win for the American taxpayer
- 12:15Speaker 1: and also for Donald Trump. Remember you remember the moment
- 12:18Speaker 1: in the Oval office when Zolensky was trying to bow up.
- 12:21Speaker 3: That didn't work.
- 12:21Speaker 1: Well, then they had the iconic meeting and the photograph
- 12:24Speaker 1: that went worldwide of the present meeting with him at
- 12:27Speaker 1: the Vatican. And so now this complex negotiation where Trump
- 12:31Speaker 1: stood strong, has now worked.
- 12:34Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 12:35Speaker 1: Quote may have failed back in February, as the media
- 12:37Speaker 1: described it, due to disagreements on terms, but the finalized
- 12:42Speaker 1: agreement reflects a compromise balancing quote US interests and accessing
- 12:47Speaker 1: critical minerals and Ukraine's need for economic support without compromising
- 12:52Speaker 1: its sovereignty. Ukrainian's Prime minister described the deal as quote
- 12:56Speaker 1: a balance and beneficial agreement, emphasizing its roll to unlocking
- 13:00Speaker 1: Ukraine's growth potential. The agreement is expected to play a
- 13:05Speaker 1: crucial role in Ukraine's reconstruction and its efforts to integrate
- 13:08Speaker 1: more closely with Western economies. Now, I use this as
- 13:13Speaker 1: an example, this is a great day for American taxpayer.
- 13:16Speaker 1: It's a great day, by the way, for Ukraine and
- 13:19Speaker 1: the people in Ukraine. It's a great day for I
- 13:21Speaker 1: think stability, and also to let Ukraine know and putin
- 13:25Speaker 1: know that hey, like we're now like in bed with
- 13:28Speaker 1: Ukraine on these issues. If you think you're gonna be
- 13:31Speaker 1: able to just bully them or us, you are wrong.
- 13:33Speaker 1: That is also a huge perk. I also think it
- 13:37Speaker 1: sends another message President is not flinching. Let me say
- 13:41Speaker 1: that again, the President is not flinching. And if you
- 13:46Speaker 1: think he's going to flinch on Iran and Iran's nuclear program,
- 13:50Speaker 1: you are wrong.
- 13:54Speaker 3: Let me go back to this.
- 13:56Speaker 1: I want to play for you Secretary of State Marco
- 13:59Speaker 1: review and what Marco Rivio said about America's foreign policy
- 14:04Speaker 1: under Donald Trump's leadership at the cabinet meeting celebrating one
- 14:09Speaker 1: hundred days in office, now one hundred and one. And
- 14:12Speaker 1: this is what Secretary Rubio had to say with the
- 14:14Speaker 1: President sitting next to him in the cabinet room.
- 14:17Speaker 4: Listen.
- 14:17Speaker 8: But it's a great team. And here's the second. And
- 14:20Speaker 8: I tell us to people all the time, this is
- 14:22Speaker 8: incredibly rewarding service. And you hear it in everyone's voices.
- 14:25Speaker 8: Traditionally in the past, and it's one of the problems
- 14:27Speaker 8: we got in as a country as presidents would say, Okay,
- 14:29Speaker 8: let's go do something, and then they would have to
- 14:31Speaker 8: do a.
- 14:31Speaker 4: Study, and then a study on the study, and then
- 14:33Speaker 4: a long internal deliberative.
- 14:35Speaker 8: Process and by the time you got to it, it
- 14:37Speaker 8: was too late or somebody had forgotten it. In this administration,
- 14:40Speaker 8: it's moving. You know the direction, because you know why
- 14:42Speaker 8: you were elected. American people elected you very clearly. And
- 14:46Speaker 8: basically it's measured I used to say by days and weeks.
- 14:49Speaker 8: Now it's measured by hours and minutes. But action is happening,
- 14:52Speaker 8: and that's what people want to see. And I'm talking
- 14:54Speaker 8: about foreign policy in particular because I don't show this
- 14:56Speaker 8: is fully appreciated. We have this president inherited years of
- 15:00Speaker 8: foreign policy that was built around what was good for
- 15:02Speaker 8: the world. In essence, the decisions we made as a
- 15:05Speaker 8: government in trade, in foreign policy was basically, is it
- 15:08Speaker 8: good for the world, Is it good for the global community.
- 15:11Speaker 8: And under President Trump, we're making a foreign policy. Now
- 15:13Speaker 8: that's was it good for America. I was appointed by
- 15:18Speaker 8: you and confirmed by the Senate to be the head
- 15:21Speaker 8: of the United States Department of State, not the World
- 15:25Speaker 8: Department of State, not the Global Department of State, the
- 15:27Speaker 8: United States Department of State. And what that means is
- 15:30Speaker 8: our foreign policy is guided by three things. Does it
- 15:32Speaker 8: make America stronger, does make America safer?
- 15:36Speaker 4: And does it make America richer.
- 15:37Speaker 8: If something doesn't do one of those three things, and
- 15:39Speaker 8: hopefully all three of those things, we're not doing it now.
- 15:43Speaker 8: We went out and hired a consulting firm to help
- 15:45Speaker 8: us organize ourselves. Luckily they were free. They're called the
- 15:47Speaker 8: Department of Government Efficiency, and they helped us do a
- 15:51Speaker 8: couple of things. Number one is our foreign aid. We
- 15:53Speaker 8: do up funding some crazy stuff, crazy stuff. Do you
- 15:57Speaker 8: tell me how does a puppet show in some country
- 16:00Speaker 8: around the world make us stronger, safe for a more
- 16:02Speaker 8: prosperous So we got rid of puppet shows and a
- 16:04Speaker 8: bunch of other things. I'm sure there are very good
- 16:06Speaker 8: puppet shows, and I'm sure that a bunch of charities
- 16:09Speaker 8: in the world can go pay for it, but the
- 16:10Speaker 8: American taxpayer should not. We've also, by the way, mister President,
- 16:13Speaker 8: under your direction, reorganized the Department of State. We had
- 16:16Speaker 8: offices within offices within offices that didn't even know they
- 16:19Speaker 8: existed themselves, not to.
- 16:21Speaker 4: Mention the rest of them.
- 16:22Speaker 8: And so we've begun to reorganize that as a way
- 16:24Speaker 8: to be able to empower our embassies and our ambassadors
- 16:28Speaker 8: and our regional bureaus to do what many of them
- 16:31Speaker 8: signed up to do. We have a great team of ambassadors,
- 16:33Speaker 8: you appointed. They're coming online every single day. Very talented people.
- 16:36Speaker 8: Very talented people are involved something else we got out
- 16:39Speaker 8: of the business.
- 16:40Speaker 4: Why wasn't widely reported, or maybe it was we had
- 16:42Speaker 4: a department.
- 16:43Speaker 8: We had an office in the Department of State whose
- 16:45Speaker 8: job it was to censor Americans.
- 16:48Speaker 4: And by the way, I'm not going to say who
- 16:50Speaker 4: it is. I'll leave it up to them.
- 16:51Speaker 8: There's at least one person at this table today who
- 16:53Speaker 8: had a dossier in that building, a social media posts
- 16:57Speaker 8: to identify them as purveyors of disinformation. We have these dossiers.
- 17:01Speaker 8: We are going to be turning those over to these individuals. Well,
- 17:09Speaker 8: we are going to turn over these dossiers to the
- 17:11Speaker 8: individuals and they'll decide whether they.
- 17:14Speaker 4: Want to dispose it or not.
- 17:15Speaker 8: But just think about the Department of State of the
- 17:16Speaker 8: United States had set up an office to monitor the
- 17:20Speaker 8: social media posts and commentary of American citizens to identify
- 17:24Speaker 8: them as vectors of disinformation when we know that the
- 17:27Speaker 8: best way to combat disinformation is freedom of speech and transparency,
- 17:31Speaker 8: and so that's what we're going to be in the
- 17:32Speaker 8: business of doing or not going to have an office
- 17:34Speaker 8: that does that. Beyond that, mister President, and this will
- 17:36Speaker 8: move quickly because this has been a team effort. We
- 17:38Speaker 8: have gone to countries all over the world and said, hey,
- 17:40Speaker 8: you want good relations to the United States, you need.
- 17:42Speaker 4: To take back your people that are here illegally. And
- 17:44Speaker 4: we've had historic cooperation.
- 17:46Speaker 8: Beyond that, and I say this unapologetically, we are actively
- 17:49Speaker 8: searching for other countries to take people from third countries.
- 17:52Speaker 8: So we are active, and I just tell Salvador, we
- 17:54Speaker 8: are working with other countries to say, we want to
- 17:57Speaker 8: send you some of the most despicable human beings to
- 18:00Speaker 8: your countries.
- 18:01Speaker 4: Will you do that as a favor to us?
- 18:02Speaker 8: And the further away from America the better, so they
- 18:04Speaker 8: can't come back across the border.
- 18:06Speaker 4: I'm not apologetic about it.
- 18:07Speaker 8: We are doing that if president was elected to keep
- 18:09Speaker 8: America safe and to get rid of a bunch of
- 18:11Speaker 8: perverts and pedophiles and child rapists out of our country.
- 18:15Speaker 4: Here's something else we've done.
- 18:16Speaker 8: We stopped giving student visas to people who are coming
- 18:19Speaker 8: here to burn down our universities and take over libraries
- 18:22Speaker 8: and harass people.
- 18:23Speaker 4: Why are we.
- 18:24Speaker 8: Giving student visas to people who are coming here to
- 18:26Speaker 8: create disruption? And we've taken away to student visas of
- 18:30Speaker 8: people that are come here to do that.
- 18:31Speaker 4: It's simple.
- 18:32Speaker 8: If you're coming to America to start riots, we're not
- 18:35Speaker 8: gonna give you.
- 18:36Speaker 4: We're gonna take away your student visa.
- 18:37Speaker 8: And by the way, every country in the world that
- 18:39Speaker 8: I travel, fourteen countries in fourteen weeks, you know what
- 18:41Speaker 8: they all say to me, Yes, that's what we would
- 18:43Speaker 8: do too.
- 18:44Speaker 4: So the only people who seem to.
- 18:45Speaker 8: Disagree with us are a handful of federal judges and
- 18:47Speaker 8: a bunch of crazy people who get paid to write
- 18:50Speaker 8: and report.
- 18:51Speaker 4: So anyway, we're getting rid of that the last.
- 18:54Speaker 8: But come now, here's some good news. You know, we're
- 18:58Speaker 8: gonna have the World Cup the FIFA World Cup, the
- 19:02Speaker 8: FIFA Club Cup.
- 19:03Speaker 4: And then we're gonna have the Olympics. So we have
- 19:05Speaker 4: to have a consular affairs bureau.
- 19:07Speaker 8: We have very good, talented people there, but we are
- 19:09Speaker 8: going to infuse technology again working with our consultants to
- 19:12Speaker 8: be able to millions of people are coming into the
- 19:15Speaker 8: country for this. But I also we've done it to
- 19:18Speaker 8: improve customer service. So some of us who served in
- 19:20Speaker 8: Congress recognized it. About a year and a half ago.
- 19:22Speaker 8: We had a meltdown under Biden. You couldn't get a passport.
- 19:25Speaker 8: We have people calling I have a cruise on Friday,
- 19:27Speaker 8: my passport expires. In the month of March, we processed
- 19:31Speaker 8: two point seven eight million Americans they're passports. That is
- 19:35Speaker 8: the historic never in the largest single month processing of
- 19:39Speaker 8: passports ever and we think it's a good way to
- 19:41Speaker 8: build the momentum to be able to do the visas.
- 19:44Speaker 8: Two last points I want to make we have a
- 19:46Speaker 8: great team that you've built. I want to specially acknowledged
- 19:49Speaker 8: Steve Woodcoff. This is a person that doesn't have to
- 19:51Speaker 8: be doing what he's doing. He has a very good
- 19:53Speaker 8: life in Miami, my hometown as well. He has worked
- 19:56Speaker 8: incredibly hard, has done it without any agenda.
- 20:00Speaker 4: We need to acknowledge him.
- 20:01Speaker 8: I want to acknowledge mister Bullo's as well, who did something.
- 20:04Speaker 4: Really great last week. They told us.
- 20:06Speaker 8: This war between the Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda
- 20:11Speaker 8: isn't intractable.
- 20:11Speaker 4: It can never happen, it will never happen. I sent
- 20:13Speaker 4: mister Buloz, you're envoy a week later.
- 20:16Speaker 8: I look on my schedule the signing of a declaration
- 20:19Speaker 8: of peace between the Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda.
- 20:22Speaker 4: We signed it at the State Department last week.
- 20:24Speaker 8: We hope it will lead now to a lasting, permanent
- 20:26Speaker 8: peace that we hope to invite them back to Washington
- 20:29Speaker 8: to sign. So two great and we have a lot
- 20:31Speaker 8: of good people working on our teams as well, but
- 20:33Speaker 8: these are two great people.
- 20:34Speaker 3: Let me just pause there.
- 20:36Speaker 1: I played that extended cut for you because I want
- 20:40Speaker 1: you to understand just how focused this cabinet is. This
- 20:45Speaker 1: administration is on so many different things, whether it's stopping
- 20:50Speaker 1: ran from nuclear weapons or sanctions, whether it's dealing with
- 20:54Speaker 1: minerals in Ukraine and getting that deal done which we
- 20:57Speaker 1: just announced here, whether it's the Secretary Ribio saying the
- 21:00Speaker 1: President here did thirty years quote a foreign policy that
- 21:03Speaker 1: was built around what's good for the world, and he says,
- 21:05Speaker 1: under Trump, we're making a foreign policy now that's quote
- 21:09Speaker 1: good for America.
- 21:11Speaker 3: We're getting rid of.
- 21:12Speaker 1: Government waste and just abuse of your tax dollars going
- 21:17Speaker 1: out to all sorts of ridiculous things.
- 21:21Speaker 3: This is, by the way, what I voted for.
- 21:23Speaker 1: I think most of you listening right now would say
- 21:27Speaker 1: the same thing, that this is what you voted for,
- 21:31Speaker 1: this is what you wanted. You look right now with
- 21:35Speaker 1: Iran and I trust this president.
- 21:38Speaker 3: I think this president's made it clear.
- 21:40Speaker 1: We are not going to allow for a nuclear weapon
- 21:44Speaker 1: to ever be in the hands of Iran as long
- 21:47Speaker 1: as I'm the president. Mark Levin earlier today put out
- 21:51Speaker 1: a video in Jerusalem warning the world about this issue.
- 21:57Speaker 4: I'm Mark Levi.
- 21:58Speaker 5: I'm standing here yours in Jerusalem, Jerus Holy line for
- 22:04Speaker 5: Jews and Christians Wall was reached by the Romans and
- 22:10Speaker 5: the second tack was burning their grounds that the Jews survived.
- 22:14Speaker 5: That want to make something very very clear, a raining regime,
- 22:18Speaker 5: the Slamo Nazi terrorists, genocidal Regin who wants to.
- 22:22Speaker 4: Get nuclear weapons.
- 22:24Speaker 5: Dutri Continental ballistic myths shoot in America.
- 22:27Speaker 4: One day to destroy this holy line for Jews.
- 22:31Speaker 5: And christian Let me tell you, some of the folks,
- 22:34Speaker 5: we don't get second chances with maniacs like that. So
- 22:38Speaker 5: rather than them have nuclear bombs to attack us, why
- 22:44Speaker 5: are we protecting their nuclear sites from our bombs? Explain
- 22:49Speaker 5: that to me. So we're gonna have a deal. We're
- 22:51Speaker 5: gonna write it on paper, and they're gonna say, you know,
- 22:54Speaker 5: we're terrorists, we violate rules, we cut people's throats, but
- 22:58Speaker 5: we're gonna honor the deal. Though they're not gonna honor
- 23:02Speaker 5: any deal, especially if there's some deal while President Trump
- 23:05Speaker 5: is president and then he leaves office, what about the
- 23:08Speaker 5: next regime and the regime after that.
- 23:10Speaker 3: This cannot be tolerated.
- 23:12Speaker 5: It's bad enough that communists have nuclear weapons, that fascists
- 23:16Speaker 5: have nuclear weapons, but there's not a terrorist country in
- 23:19Speaker 5: the face of the earth that has a nuclear weapon.
- 23:22Speaker 5: We must not usher it in. Look at this with
- 23:25Speaker 5: the Bible, to look at this and honor the men
- 23:28Speaker 5: and women who have died here. This cannot stand. And
- 23:32Speaker 5: I say that as an American who's concerned about what
- 23:35Speaker 5: happened on nine to eleven. And in other times when
- 23:38Speaker 5: we've been attacked by these Turists too. They're here, They're
- 23:41Speaker 5: in this part of the world, right here, and now
- 23:45Speaker 5: they're vulnerable. We're gonna wait till they nuclear weapons and
- 23:48Speaker 5: then bring our hands about it and say what are
- 23:50Speaker 5: we gonna do about it? I don't think so.
- 23:53Speaker 4: America.
- 23:54Speaker 5: It's time to speak out. It's time to rise up.
- 23:57Speaker 5: Stop the Uranian nukes. Now, it's the time.
- 24:01Speaker 4: God bless you all.
- 24:02Speaker 1: My see Mark at the Western Wall in Jerusalem warning
- 24:07Speaker 1: the world that Iran must never get nuclear weapons period
- 24:13Speaker 1: one eight seven, seven, three eight, one thirty eight eleven
- 24:16Speaker 1: one eight seven, seven, three eight one thirty eight eleven.
- 24:19Speaker 1: I want to get your phone calls in here. I
- 24:20Speaker 1: want to get your reaction to all of this. And
- 24:24Speaker 1: again this goes back to a core issue. The President
- 24:27Speaker 1: has made it clear the only solution is that Iran
- 24:31Speaker 1: is completely dismantling its program, and we should do it,
- 24:36Speaker 1: by the way, for him, for them, I should say,
- 24:39Speaker 1: because a nuclear Iran is a direct threat not just
- 24:42Speaker 1: to our friends in Middle East, not just to Israel,
- 24:45Speaker 1: not just to our allies over there, but to every American.
- 24:50Speaker 3: Because they've stated.
- 24:51Speaker 1: What they want to do Believe them when they tell
- 24:54Speaker 1: you they want to destroy you and kill you.
- 24:56Speaker 3: Believe them.
- 24:58Speaker 1: Iran's Crown Prince says he's right to lead the transition
- 25:03Speaker 1: to quote democracy after the military regime has removed from
- 25:06Speaker 1: power in Iran.
- 25:09Speaker 3: This just hitting social media moments ago.
- 25:11Speaker 9: Listen at the call of my compatriots, I have stepped
- 25:15Speaker 9: forward to lead the transition after the.
- 25:18Speaker 3: Fall of the Islamic Republic.
- 25:27Speaker 9: When I did so, I stepped forward not just to
- 25:31Speaker 9: lead Iran to democracy, but to lead its return to prosperity. Today,
- 25:36Speaker 9: with the unveiling of the first group of IPP, I
- 25:40Speaker 9: am offering an economic roadmap, a plan so that from
- 25:45Speaker 9: day one we can begin to work of rebuilding Iran stronger, freer,
- 25:52Speaker 9: and more prosperous than ever before.
- 25:55Speaker 3: At the call of my compatriots.
- 25:57Speaker 1: I mean you hear him there, the Iranian crown print.
- 26:01Speaker 1: He's basically saying, if you can shut off the money
- 26:06Speaker 1: and have the sanctions not be you know, worthless as
- 26:12Speaker 1: they were under the Biden Harrish regime, then you can
- 26:16Speaker 1: allow for the people to stand up to the regime
- 26:19Speaker 1: in Iran. Tom Cotton talking about this as well, the
- 26:23Speaker 1: Senator saying this about where we are now and what
- 26:26Speaker 1: has changed.
- 26:28Speaker 2: Well, here, you're right about everything you just cited. That's
- 26:30Speaker 2: all open source information, and I believe the White House
- 26:33Speaker 2: has acknowledged it specifically in the region, to support our
- 26:37Speaker 2: strikes against outlaw rebels in Yemen who are simply another
- 26:41Speaker 2: terrorist proxy of Iran, and to deter Iran, and to
- 26:44Speaker 2: continue what the President calls the maximum pressure campaign. This
- 26:49Speaker 2: is all very transparent from President Trump. He's been very clear.
- 26:53Speaker 2: He said it repeatedly, we cannot allow ron to have
- 26:56Speaker 2: a nuclear weapon, and he's further said that there are
- 26:59Speaker 2: two means achieve that goal, and he's open to either meats.
- 27:03Speaker 2: He prefers a deal like Libya cut with the United
- 27:06Speaker 2: States in two thousand and three. But if there's no deal,
- 27:08Speaker 2: there will be bombing. I think that's an exact quote.
- 27:11Speaker 2: There will be bombing. But his main objective, which is
- 27:13Speaker 2: of course mine and the objective of every sensible American
- 27:18Speaker 2: and someone who wants peace and stability in the world,
- 27:21Speaker 2: is that we cannot let craze Ayatollahs in Iran have
- 27:25Speaker 2: nuclear weapon.
- 27:26Speaker 1: Amen, Like this shouldn't be, by the way, some crazy
- 27:30Speaker 1: novel idea you put maximum pressure campaign, you drive Iranian
- 27:35Speaker 1: exports into the ground, and then you end all pass
- 27:38Speaker 1: to nuclear weapons and you say we're going to actually
- 27:42Speaker 1: have the sanctions on you, and they're going to mean
- 27:45Speaker 1: something because the last administration, do you know what they did?
- 27:48Speaker 1: A lot of people don't think understand this. They knew
- 27:51Speaker 1: that they were getting around the sanctions. They had these
- 27:53Speaker 1: what if you call them, you know, basically ghosts fleets
- 27:59Speaker 1: and ghost oil. We knew it was being sold and
- 28:02Speaker 1: much of it was going to China at a discount.
- 28:05Speaker 1: But the billions of dollars were flowing in. Okay, the
- 28:09Speaker 1: billions of dollars that Iran needs to prop up their regime,
- 28:16Speaker 1: we're flowing because we had sanctions, but they were worthless.
- 28:20Speaker 1: They weren't actually implemented, they weren't imposed, they weren't enforced
- 28:25Speaker 1: by the last regime, which goes back to why Iran
- 28:28Speaker 1: Supreme leader on obtaining nuclear weapon says, quote, death to
- 28:32Speaker 1: America is not just a slogan.
- 28:34Speaker 3: It is a policy.
- 28:36Speaker 1: Do I support military action if we have to to
- 28:39Speaker 1: bomb these sites?
- 28:40Speaker 3: Hell? Yes?
- 28:43Speaker 1: Do I believe that you could ever trust Iran with
- 28:46Speaker 1: a nuclear weapon?
- 28:48Speaker 4: No?
- 28:49Speaker 3: I do not.
- 28:51Speaker 1: Now the media is going to tell you that this
- 28:53Speaker 1: policy that I just described, this policy of makes sure
- 28:56Speaker 1: they don't get a RAN, means that, well, you guys
- 28:58Speaker 1: are a bunch of warmongers, right. They're gonna say Tulci
- 29:02Speaker 1: Gabbard's a warmonger, Pete headset the warmongers, Susie Wilds is
- 29:05Speaker 1: a warmonger. Jdie Vance a warmonger. They're gonna say that
- 29:10Speaker 1: Marco Rubio is a warmonger. Because all of these people
- 29:15Speaker 1: are in favor of holding I Ran accountable for their actions.
- 29:20Speaker 1: That's what they're gonna say. That's how they're gonna spin this.
- 29:24Speaker 1: So understand that. I also want to remind you that
- 29:27Speaker 1: when President Trump took aggressive action on Iran, do you
- 29:30Speaker 1: remember what the left said when you were the killing
- 29:33Speaker 1: of Solimani, the commander of Iran's most elite military unit.
- 29:35Speaker 3: Do you remember what he's? What they said?
- 29:37Speaker 1: They said that Donald Trump was going to get us
- 29:40Speaker 1: into quote war war Iree.
- 29:42Speaker 3: Do you remember that?
- 29:43Speaker 4: Yeah?
- 29:44Speaker 3: I guess what. That didn't happen. They were lying to
- 29:47Speaker 3: you then, and they will lie to you this time.
- 29:50Speaker 3: Don't forget.
- 29:50Speaker 1: Share this podcast with your family and friends, share it
- 29:54Speaker 1: on social media, please, and I'll see you back here.
- 29:56Speaker 3: Tomorrow,
