  Speaker 2: What do you want me to do?
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because you're a left wing hack. You're not a reporter.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: You're posing in this room as a journalist. And it's
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: so clear by the premise of your question, and you

  Speaker 1: and the people in the media who have such biases

  Speaker 6: warning that America is not all talk during the Iranian meeting,
• 0:46
  Speaker 6: saying Trump is a man of action.
• 0:49
  Speaker 5: So what could that look like? We'll explain it in
• 0:51
  Speaker 5: just a moment.
• 0:53
  Speaker 6: Also, another warning from the White House on another important issue,
• 0:58
  Speaker 6: this time about the rhetoric and the assaults that are
• 1:01
  Speaker 6: happening on ice agents. The White House is now pointing
• 1:05
  Speaker 6: fingers and making it clear who they believe is to
• 1:07
  Speaker 6: blame for these attacks, and there's even investigations into who
• 1:12
  Speaker 6: may be financing them that coming up as well. But first,

  Speaker 6: starts right now.
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: Story number one.
• 3:29
  Speaker 6: All eyes are on Iran right now, and many of
• 3:32
  Speaker 6: the eyes in Iran are looking back at Donald Trump
• 3:35
  Speaker 6: in America to see what we are going to do next.
• 3:39
  Speaker 6: The UN decided they had to try to get involved
• 3:42
  Speaker 6: with their Security Council meetings, which are pretty much useless
• 3:45
  Speaker 6: and worthless. But nevertheless, the United States of America uses
• 3:49
  Speaker 6: an opportunity through the UN Ambassador Mike Waltz to say
• 3:53
  Speaker 6: this to the Iranian people.
• 3:55
  Speaker 7: President Donald J. Trump and the United States of America
• 3:59
  Speaker 7: stand the brave people of Iran, period and regardless of
• 4:04
  Speaker 7: its excuses, and you will hear many today from the
• 4:07
  Speaker 7: Iranian regime and from its friends. The regime is solely
• 4:13
  Speaker 7: solely responsible for the economic misery of the Iranian people
• 4:17
  Speaker 7: and the repression of their freedom, and they will be
• 4:20
  Speaker 7: held accountable.
• 4:22
  Speaker 6: They will be held accountable. Now, this is obviously an
• 4:27
  Speaker 6: important point, as the ambassador warning the UN that America
• 4:31
  Speaker 6: is not all talk during the Iran meeting and that
• 4:35
  Speaker 6: Trump is a man of action. He reiterated America's commitment
• 4:40
  Speaker 6: to the protesters during that emergency meeting at the UN
• 4:43
  Speaker 6: Security Council. President Trump a man of action, not endless
• 4:47
  Speaker 6: talk like we see at the United Nations. The ambassador continued.
• 4:52
  Speaker 6: He has made it clear all options are on the
• 4:55
  Speaker 6: table to stop the slaughter, and no one should know
• 5:00
  Speaker 6: that better than the leadership of the Iranian regime. During
• 5:03
  Speaker 6: his address to council, Ambassador Waals also dismissed Tehran's allegations
• 5:09
  Speaker 6: that the protesters were part of a foreign plot to
• 5:12
  Speaker 6: undermine the current regime. They've even used it to slander Israel.
• 5:17
  Speaker 6: Quote everyone in the world needs to know that the
• 5:19
  Speaker 6: regime is weaker than ever before and therefore is putting
• 5:24
  Speaker 6: forward this lie because of the power of the Iranian
• 5:27
  Speaker 6: people is actually in the streets. They are afraid of
• 5:31
  Speaker 6: their own people now. Along with the UN ambassador Waltz,
• 5:35
  Speaker 6: there was also an Iranian American activists who warned the
• 5:39
  Speaker 6: UN that the Islamic Republic cannot be dealt with normally.
• 5:44
  Speaker 6: Liking Tehran to the Islamic state terrorist group known as ISIS,
• 5:48
  Speaker 6: she demanded that Tehran's leaders be treated like ISIS, or
• 5:52
  Speaker 6: else the killing in Iran will get much worse, saying
• 5:56
  Speaker 6: quote millions of innocent, unarmed Iranians have been silenced through bullets,
• 6:02
  Speaker 6: mass arrests, imprisonment, and a total communications blackout. No internet,
• 6:08
  Speaker 6: no mobile phones, and no landlines, she said in her speech,
• 6:13
  Speaker 6: saying quote Iran is in total darkness. She also went
• 6:18
  Speaker 6: on CNN after that speech and said this to Jake
• 6:22
  Speaker 6: Tapper about the country.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: People of Iran. They welcomed the strong and forceful message
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: of President Trump, but they want to see action.
• 6:32
  Speaker 8: What action, because obviously this comes after on Saturday the president.
• 6:36
  Speaker 8: You know, they removed the leader of Venezuela.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: So maybe to people in America it's radical because I
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: see that people are busy criticizing President Trump about capturing Maduu.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: But Maduu is not the president of Venezuela. He is
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: a criminal and he is not alone. The Islamic Republic
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: invaded Venezuela. You see his world of presence in Venezuela.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: They're sending weapons to Maduro. So I strongly believe arresting
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: Maduro should have been done by international court.
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: And now this.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: Is the right thing that Iranian people celebrating this. I
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: ask Iranian people, Jake before coming here, I ask them
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: what they really want from President Trump. They say the
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: same thing, because adi Comedy is not just targeting the
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: lives of innocent people inside Iran. They're not just targeting them.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: Adik Comedy is the one who ordered my killing in
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: New York, in US soil, on US soil. Here three
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: Times Adik comedy is the one ordering the killing of
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: President Trump. So basically, this is the guy actually expanding
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: terror everywhere, not only in the region, but in Europe,
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: in America.
• 7:51
  Speaker 8: I want to show this video. It went viral on
• 7:53
  Speaker 8: social media. It's Iranian security for US is storming a
• 7:56
  Speaker 8: hospital in Elam. That's a city that's found itself at
• 7:59
  Speaker 8: the center of these protests.
• 8:01
  Speaker 5: You see this in you. It's horrible.
• 8:04
  Speaker 8: We're nearing now two weeks of these protests. Do you
• 8:09
  Speaker 8: think the nation might reach a breaking point?
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: First of all, the President trum actually mentioned that some
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: people were killed because of the crowd. This is misinformation.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: I have to make this clear that the Iranian regime
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: opened fire. In ten days, forty people got killed. They're
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: not just numbers, They're not just statistics. They are the
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: people with empty hands took to the street hunting for freedom, dignity,
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: They want to have a normal life, and they are
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: being killed by irgc the revolutionary regards. I think this
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: is the Berlin Wall moment in Iran. If international community
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: get united the same way when they were all united
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: to help East Germany to bring down the wall. Now
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: Iranian people are trying to bring the wall of the
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: cat ship down. We need to see action from Europeans,
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: from the free world. Otherwise, believe me, Jake, they will
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: kill more innocent people.
• 9:10
  Speaker 8: You and I have been talking about this for years,
• 9:13
  Speaker 8: and I've been covering this for years. I remember covering
• 9:15
  Speaker 8: the murder of Nedda in the streets of Iran when
• 9:19
  Speaker 8: alf Madinijad was you.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: You were the first one. You actually covered the brutal
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: murder of max Og you know, I mean in twenty
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: twenty two.
• 9:26
  Speaker 8: As well, So you've You've been obviously focused on this
• 9:30
  Speaker 8: for years. Does this moment feel different than previous moments
• 9:33
  Speaker 8: of unresk?
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: I even smell the freedom. I even feel like when
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: people go to the streets, they show their face, they
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: take on their own social media. They say that we
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: have no fear because we have nothing to lose. As
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: you mentioned, we have seen six major massive uprising in
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: Iran in two thousand and nine. You mentioned about Nadal
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: also Toad. At the same time when people were industry
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: chunting Obama. Obama, you eat with us or with them?
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: President Omaalo was sending secret letter to Ali Homani, the
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic in twenty twenty two,
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: when Massa got killed, women took to the street, Woman Life, Freedom,
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: one of the most progressive slogan.
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: What happened?
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: President Biden was handing out billions of dollars to the
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: same regime that hired killers to target US citizens on
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: US soil. They even asked me to go under witness protection.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's a joke. So for the first time
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: that we now see the United States of America's president
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: taking a strong action saying that he is ready to
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: save the lives of Iranians. Iranians are welcoming that. I
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: want to see action. Otherwise, empty words are not going
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: to save laarts are not going. Let's be very clear,
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: people of Iron are better allies compared to these backward
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: mod laws for America, for the rest of the world,
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: and Iran without Islamic Republic will guarantee global security. And
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: this is the moment that we want to see.
• 11:00
  Speaker 6: This is the moment that we wanted to see happen. Notice,
• 11:04
  Speaker 6: by the way that this incredibly brave woman, she said
• 11:07
  Speaker 6: very clearly that what Trump's policy is doing is allowing
• 11:13
  Speaker 6: for the people of a rand to stand up for themselves,
• 11:16
  Speaker 6: something they didn't get under Obama something they didn't get
• 11:19
  Speaker 6: under Joe Biden. And she's explaining how the people under
• 11:23
  Speaker 6: tyranny are now saying thank you to President Trump for
• 11:27
  Speaker 6: his leadership, and that's why millions are gathering in the
• 11:30
  Speaker 6: streets because they actually feel like the President.
• 11:33
  Speaker 5: Has their back.
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: Now, Story number two, more.
• 11:36
  Speaker 6: ICE agents are being attacked in Minnesota and around the country,
• 11:41
  Speaker 6: and the media continues to act as if ICE agents
• 11:45
  Speaker 6: are somehow the bad guys. The White House making it
• 11:49
  Speaker 6: very clear who's to blame for the attacks and the
• 11:52
  Speaker 6: ratching up of the rhetoric. It is the Democratic Party.
• 11:56
  Speaker 6: Not only are they ratching up the rhetoric, but they
• 11:59
  Speaker 6: are financing the violence. Yes, many of the agitators who
• 12:04
  Speaker 6: are out there that are attacking ICE agents.
• 12:06
  Speaker 5: Are being paid to do so.
• 12:08
  Speaker 6: This reminds you a lot of the Black Lives Matter
• 12:11
  Speaker 6: protests and the burning of American cities. We continue to
• 12:15
  Speaker 6: see Democrats taking millions and millions of dollars from Occupy
• 12:20
  Speaker 6: Wall Street to what we're witnessing now going against police
• 12:24
  Speaker 6: or ICE, and they are financing the anarchy. The White
• 12:29
  Speaker 6: House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt having this to say about
• 12:32
  Speaker 6: it today.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: Democrat governors and mayors in not just Minnesota, but in
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: states across the country are essentially you know, they've referred
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: to ICE agents, who again are brave men and women.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: And I would encourage everyone in this room, and I
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: would encourage Governor Walls and other Democrats who are demeaning
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: law enforcement to sit down and have a cup of
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: coffee with an ICE agent or a Border patrol agent.
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: These are great, patriotic men and.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: Women who have families, who put on the uniform every
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: day and are following our nation's immigration laws at the
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: direction of their bosses and again at the direction of
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: the law. They are simply trying to enforce the law.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: And the Democrat Party has.
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: Demeaned these individuals.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: They've even referred to them as Nazis and as the Gestapo,
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: and that is absolutely leading to the violence we're seeing
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: in the streets. If you look at some of the
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: images out of Minneapolis last.
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: Night, look at this vehicle, look at what it says.
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: It says f ICE.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: You have these individuals who are putting their middle finger
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: proudly so at the camera.
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: Another ICE individual.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: A vehicle that was vandalized last night by these left
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: wing agitators people don't do this without encouragement from people
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: in power who make them feel like it's okay.
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: Here's another one and.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure this car you can't see it said
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: the best agent is a dead agent, or something to
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: that effect.
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: This is despicable rhetoric that we're seeing.
• 13:52
  Speaker 6: The good news is we're also hearing that those that
• 13:55
  Speaker 6: are financing this type of anarchy we may know who
• 13:58
  Speaker 6: they are soon our investigations that are underway. But make
• 14:03
  Speaker 6: no mistake about it, the White House is making it
• 14:05
  Speaker 6: clear democratic rhetoric is absolutely leading to the leftist violence
• 14:11
  Speaker 6: against our brave men and women in uniform, and they're
• 14:14
  Speaker 6: going to do everything they can to stop it as
• 14:17
  Speaker 6: fast as possible.
