Irananian Crown Prince wants Democracy as Trump says 'No Nukes for Iran' · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

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

30:02
Speaker 1: your friends, put it up on social media wherever you
30:05
Speaker 1: are on social media, and I will see you back
