Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: President Donald Trump has ordered the US Navy to blockade
- 0:04Speaker 1: the Strait of Hormus, the President putting out in a
- 0:07Speaker 1: true social post quote, So there you have it. The
- 0:11Speaker 1: meeting went well. Most points were agreed too, but the
- 0:15Speaker 1: only point that really mattered, nuclear was not effective. Immediately,
- 0:20Speaker 1: the United States Navy, the finest in the world, will
- 0:23Speaker 1: begin the process of blockading any and all ships trying
- 0:27Speaker 1: to enter or leave the Strait of Hormos. At some
- 0:32Speaker 1: point we will reach en quote all being allowed to
- 0:36Speaker 1: go in, all being allowed to go out basis. But
- 0:39Speaker 1: Iran has not allowed that to happen by merely saying
- 0:43Speaker 1: there may be a mine out there somewhere quote unquote
- 0:46Speaker 1: that nobody knows about but them. This is world extortion,
- 0:52Speaker 1: and leaders of countries, especially the United States of America,
- 0:55Speaker 1: will never be extorted. I have also instructed our navy
- 0:59Speaker 1: to say, seek and interdict every vessel in international waters
- 1:05Speaker 1: that has paid a toll to Iran. No one who
- 1:08Speaker 1: pays an illegal toll will have safe passage on the
- 1:11Speaker 1: high seas. We will also begin destroying the mines the
- 1:15Speaker 1: Iranians laid in the streets. Any Iranian who fires at
- 1:19Speaker 1: us or at peaceful vessels will be blown to hell
- 1:23Speaker 1: all caps. Iran knows better than anyone how to end
- 1:27Speaker 1: the situation which has already devastated their country. Their navy
- 1:31Speaker 1: is gone, their air force is gone, their anti aircraft
- 1:36Speaker 1: and radar are useless. Klamani and most of their leaders
- 1:40Speaker 1: are dead, all because of their nuclear ambition. The blockade
- 1:45Speaker 1: will begin shortly. Other countries will be involved with the
- 1:48Speaker 1: blockade as well. Iran will not be allowed to profit
- 1:51Speaker 1: off this illegal act of extortion. They want money, and
- 1:56Speaker 1: more importantly, they want nuclear additionally, and at appropriate moment,
- 2:01Speaker 1: we will fully locked and loaded and our military will
- 2:06Speaker 1: finish up the little that is left of Iran, signed
- 2:10Speaker 1: President Donald Trump. President Trump, with this move, as one
- 2:17Speaker 1: military leader said to me, has completely screwed Iran and
- 2:21Speaker 1: they're about to regret it. Anyone who thinks Irana is
- 2:25Speaker 1: winning this is severely mistaken. The IRGC won't be able
- 2:29Speaker 1: to do anything about it either. The naval blockade of
- 2:33Speaker 1: the straight up Hoore Moves goes into effect in sixteen hours,
- 2:37Speaker 1: is how the President put it. The blockade will involve
- 2:40Speaker 1: stopping any ships that come out of Iranian ports or
- 2:43Speaker 1: Iranian coastal areas. US ships will not be stopping vessels
- 2:48Speaker 1: traveling from non Iranian ports as well. The early stages
- 2:53Speaker 1: of demining the strait has already begun. We've now been
- 2:56Speaker 1: told from the White House, and information about a safe
- 2:59Speaker 1: path through this strait will be communicated to the commercial vessels.
- 3:05Speaker 1: Here's a little bit more of how Fox News described it.
- 3:08Speaker 1: From Tel Aviv.
- 3:09Speaker 2: Zoey, the US Central Command says the naval blockade and
- 3:12Speaker 2: the Straight of Hormones goes into effect in sixteen hours now.
- 3:16Speaker 2: The blockade will involve stopping any ships that come out
- 3:19Speaker 2: of Iranian ports or Iranian coastal areas. US ships will
- 3:22Speaker 2: not be stopping vessels traveling from non Iranian ports. The
- 3:25Speaker 2: early stages of d mining the strait has begun. In
- 3:28Speaker 2: information about a safe path through the strait will be
- 3:30Speaker 2: communicated to commercial mariners. Now, Around's Revolutionary Guard put out
- 3:34Speaker 2: a defiant statement that the Straight of Hormues is now
- 3:36Speaker 2: under their control and any warship approaching the strait will
- 3:39Speaker 2: be seen as a breach of the ceasefire and will
- 3:41Speaker 2: be dealt with strongly. President Trump told Maria Bartiromo details
- 3:46Speaker 2: of the naval blockade.
- 3:47Speaker 3: We're putting on a complete blockade, and we're not going
- 3:50Speaker 3: to let Iran make money on selling oil to people
- 3:54Speaker 3: that they like and not people that they don't like,
- 3:56Speaker 3: or whatever it is. It's going to be all or none.
- 3:58Speaker 2: The announcement of the blockade can after talks in Pakistan
- 4:01Speaker 2: failed to produce an agreement. Vice President jd Vance's back
- 4:04Speaker 2: on US soil after that marathon twenty one hour negotiation.
- 4:07Speaker 2: The demands from the US included around open the strait,
- 4:10Speaker 2: end funding of violent proxies Hamas Hezbolah and the Huki rebels.
- 4:14Speaker 2: But the big hang up was getting Iranian negotiators to
- 4:17Speaker 2: abandon their nuclear ambitions.
- 4:19Speaker 4: We need to see an affirmative commitment that they will
- 4:22Speaker 4: not seek a nuclear weapon and they will not seek
- 4:25Speaker 4: the tools that would enable them to quickly achieve a
- 4:28Speaker 4: nuclear weapon. That is the core goal of the President
- 4:30Speaker 4: of the United States, and that's what we've tried to
- 4:32Speaker 4: achieve through these negotiations.
- 4:34Speaker 2: The chief negotiator for Iran says the US side failed
- 4:37Speaker 2: to win the trust of the Iranan negotiators.
- 4:40Speaker 1: Joey back to you, truly incredible, VP Vans laying out
- 4:45Speaker 1: US demands per Ran and the President saying even more
- 4:48Speaker 1: so afterwards, the President telling Maria Barturomo the US began
- 4:53Speaker 1: blocking ships. He said it early in the morning on
- 4:56Speaker 1: Fox News Sunday or the Sunday morning, I should say
- 4:58Speaker 1: future with Maria Barturomo. Well, the President really didn't say
- 5:01Speaker 1: a lot about it, just to say this.
- 5:04Speaker 3: We didn't get there on the important issue. They want
- 5:06Speaker 3: to have nuclear weapons. They're not going to have nuclear weapons.
- 5:09Speaker 3: I've been saying that for thirty years. I would never
- 5:11Speaker 3: allow that to happen before I was in politics. And
- 5:14Speaker 3: that country will not have nuclear weapons. Most countries shouldn't
- 5:17Speaker 3: be allowed to have, but that country will not have
- 5:20Speaker 3: nuclear weapons.
- 5:21Speaker 1: One thing that's very clear. The President is not messing
- 5:26Speaker 1: around with this. He's just not And the President is
- 5:30Speaker 1: saying we're going to continue to do what is in
- 5:34Speaker 1: the best interest of the United States of America. I'm
- 5:39Speaker 1: going to play more of what the President had to
- 5:40Speaker 1: say in that interview. I'll have it for you coming up.
- 5:44Speaker 1: But before we get to that, I want to tell
- 5:46Speaker 1: you about our good friends at Patriot Mobile. This year
- 5:49Speaker 1: marks a critical moment for our country as the opposition

- 7:15Speaker 1: Patriot Donald Trump saying a complete blockade on the Straight
- 7:20Speaker 1: of Hormuz is going to be an effect at ten
- 7:23Speaker 1: a m Monday morning as a Ran refuses the deal.
- 7:28Speaker 1: He announced it on True Social but then he went
- 7:32Speaker 1: on Sunday Mornings with Ria Bartiromo to explain why he'd
- 7:38Speaker 1: made this decision, how the talks broke down, and how
- 7:42Speaker 1: Ran is still refusing what they need to agree to
- 7:46Speaker 1: on their nuclear program. Listen carefully to how well the
- 7:51Speaker 1: President explains exactly how we got to this point after
- 7:55Speaker 1: the Vice president came out and said, look, we were
- 7:56Speaker 1: negotiating in good faith. Unfortunate Wait, the Iranian delegation.
- 8:03Speaker 3: Was not well, thank you very much, Thank you Maria.
- 8:06Speaker 5: Miss President, Can you explain to us what is going
- 8:08Speaker 5: on right now with the blockade in the Strait of Hormuz.
- 8:12Speaker 3: Well, we're going to be blockading. It'll take a little while,
- 8:15Speaker 3: but it'll be effective pretty soon. And we had meetings yesterday,
- 8:21Speaker 3: as you said, lasted twenty one hours. That was along meeting.
- 8:24Speaker 3: We have some very very good representatives, as you know,
- 8:27Speaker 3: JD and Steve and Jared, so we were well represented,
- 8:31Speaker 3: but we didn't get there in the important issue. They
- 8:34Speaker 3: want to have nuclear weapons they're not going to have
- 8:36Speaker 3: nuclear weapons. I've been saying that for thirty years. I
- 8:38Speaker 3: would never allow that to happen before I was in politics.
- 8:42Speaker 3: And that country will not have nuclear weapons. Most countries
- 8:45Speaker 3: shouldn't be allowed to have, but that country will not
- 8:47Speaker 3: have nuclear weapons.
- 8:49Speaker 6: So, miss President, was that the red line? There?
- 8:52Speaker 5: Can you explain to us what went on in these talks?
- 8:55Speaker 5: What did the United States ask of Iran? And how
- 8:58Speaker 5: did they react?
- 8:59Speaker 3: Well? I reacted, you know, it was very interesting. It
- 9:02Speaker 3: started off weak. They were They came in like they
- 9:06Speaker 3: had the cards, but they don't have the cards. Their army,
- 9:08Speaker 3: their whole military is obliterated. The whole place is obliterated.
- 9:13Speaker 3: And you know, as you know, levels of leaders are gone,
- 9:16Speaker 3: they're literally gone. Comane's gone. The whole thing is gone,
- 9:19Speaker 3: The whole place is gone. They have one thing that
- 9:22Speaker 3: they can do. They can say, well, gee, we're going
- 9:24Speaker 3: to put a mine someplace in the just the mind.
- 9:27Speaker 3: We'll drop one mind, two minds, ten minds, and that will.
- 9:30Speaker 3: If you have a ship that costs a billion dollars,
- 9:32Speaker 3: you say, well, you know, I prefer not getting whacked
- 9:34Speaker 3: by a mind losing my ship, were damaging it badly
- 9:38Speaker 3: at least, And so that's a little bit of a
- 9:41Speaker 3: thing that they can do that it's military might and
- 9:44Speaker 3: military power don't do it. But you know it's extortion,
- 9:47Speaker 3: and they're extorting the world. You know, we don't get
- 9:49Speaker 3: our oil from there. We have so much or we
- 9:51Speaker 3: have And one thing you said, I don't know if
- 9:54Speaker 3: anybody heard it, well, but we have boats pouring up
- 9:59Speaker 3: to the United States. They'll be filling them up and
- 10:01Speaker 3: they'll be leaving and they're going to be packed with
- 10:03Speaker 3: the best, the best oil you could get, light sweet
- 10:06Speaker 3: crude to get. They're going to have the best oil
- 10:09Speaker 3: that you can get. So that's interesting and it's great
- 10:13Speaker 3: because we have a lot of oil. We don't get
- 10:15Speaker 3: any I mean literally last year it was one percent.
- 10:17Speaker 3: We did that as a favor. We don't need this straight,
- 10:21Speaker 3: but other countries do. And I will tell you while
- 10:23Speaker 3: we're on the subject, we're very disappointed with NATO, very
- 10:26Speaker 3: very disappointed that they didn't come. Now they want to
- 10:29Speaker 3: come and they want to help with the straight and
- 10:30Speaker 3: it won't take long to clean it out. So we're
- 10:33Speaker 3: going to clean out the straight and they'll be able
- 10:35Speaker 3: to use the straight and not too long a distance,
- 10:38Speaker 3: but we had a very intensive negotiation, and towards the
- 10:44Speaker 3: end it got very friendly, and we got just about
- 10:48Speaker 3: every point we needed except for the fact that they
- 10:50Speaker 3: refuse to give up their nuclear ambition. And that's the
- 10:54Speaker 3: only point. Frankly to me, that was the most important
- 10:56Speaker 3: point by far, and I.
- 10:57Speaker 5: Want to ask you about that, and I will get
- 10:59Speaker 5: to NATO as well. But miss President, you wrote on
- 11:02Speaker 5: truth Social this morning, is saying that we will begin
- 11:05Speaker 5: the process of blockading any and all ships trying to
- 11:09Speaker 5: enter or leave the Straight of Hormuz, and at some
- 11:12Speaker 5: point we will reach an all being allowed to go
- 11:14Speaker 5: in and all being allowed to.
- 11:16Speaker 6: Go out basis.
- 11:18Speaker 5: So tell us what you're trying to accomplish with this.
- 11:20Speaker 3: Poloans all out. Yep, it's called all in and all out.
- 11:23Speaker 3: There'll be a time when we'll have them all come
- 11:25Speaker 3: in and all come out. But it won't be a percentage.
- 11:28Speaker 3: It won't be a friend of yours, like a country
- 11:30Speaker 3: that's your ally or a country that your friend is
- 11:33Speaker 3: all or nothing, and that'll be that won't be in
- 11:36Speaker 3: too long a distance. No, we're just bringing the ships up.
- 11:39Speaker 3: We've got a lot of ships that we're bringing them up.
- 11:42Speaker 3: We think that numerous countries are going to be helping
- 11:44Speaker 3: us with this also, but we're putting on a complete blockade.
- 11:48Speaker 3: We're not going to let a ran make money on
- 11:50Speaker 3: selling oil to people that they like and not people
- 11:54Speaker 3: that they don't like, or whatever it is. It's going
- 11:56Speaker 3: to be all or none, and that's the way it is.
- 11:58Speaker 3: And it'll be you. So you so what we did
- 12:00Speaker 3: with Venezuela, it'll be something very similar to that, but
- 12:04Speaker 3: at a higher level.
- 12:05Speaker 5: And as president, you say that there may be a
- 12:08Speaker 5: mine out there somewhere that nobody knows about but them,
- 12:11Speaker 5: and this is world extortion. How will the United States
- 12:15Speaker 5: ensure that the mines are removed in the strait of hormones?
- 12:18Speaker 3: So we have mine sweepers there. Now, we have highly
- 12:21Speaker 3: sophisticated underwater mine sweepers, which are the latest and the greatest.
- 12:26Speaker 3: But we're also bringing in more traditional mind sweepers. And
- 12:30Speaker 3: so I understand is the UK and a couple of
- 12:32Speaker 3: other countries are sending mind sweepers. A lot of countries
- 12:35Speaker 3: don't have mind sweepers. Think of it, they had twenty
- 12:38Speaker 3: eight minddroppers. What country has twenty eight minddroppers? Twenty eight
- 12:43Speaker 3: boats to drop mines. What country They've been completely obliterated.
- 12:47Speaker 3: They no longer So we knocked out their entire navy.
- 12:51Speaker 3: They have one hundred and fifty eight hips, they have
- 12:53Speaker 3: twenty eight mind droppers. Every single one of them is
- 12:56Speaker 3: at the bottom of the sea. Can you believe it?
- 12:57Speaker 3: We did that in four days. Their air force is gone.
- 13:02Speaker 3: They're anti if you look anti aircraft, all of their
- 13:07Speaker 3: all of their radars out anti aircraft is their defensive
- 13:11Speaker 3: program is all knocked out. They don't have anything. And
- 13:15Speaker 3: you know, the sad part is, I can't say this
- 13:18Speaker 3: is be We knocked out everything, including their leaders. Their
- 13:22Speaker 3: military is gone, everything's gone. Their missiles are down to
- 13:25Speaker 3: a trickle by comparison. You know, we knocked out thousands
- 13:28Speaker 3: of missiles. We knocked out hundreds of places where the
- 13:31Speaker 3: missiles have built different parts. They're pretty much gone. Probably
- 13:36Speaker 3: they say eighty five, eighty two percent, eighty five percent.
- 13:38Speaker 3: Who knows what it is, but we we knocked them out.
- 13:41Speaker 3: We knocked out where they make the drones, and the
- 13:43Speaker 3: drones are less effective now. And also we have new
- 13:45Speaker 3: machinery to kill the drones. You saw that the computerized
- 13:49Speaker 3: bullets they call it, and also lasers. The laser melts
- 13:53Speaker 3: the drone. It's a beautiful thing to see. So we
- 13:55Speaker 3: have a lot of stuff, but think of it. We
- 13:57Speaker 3: win this thing conclusively, even and yesterday they was saying, no,
- 14:01Speaker 3: it was a complete obliteration. And when you read the
- 14:04Speaker 3: New York Times, you think they're doing well. Oh there
- 14:06Speaker 3: fighting very hard. It's a very It wasn't a hard battle.
- 14:09Speaker 3: This was a very easy battle militarily. But when somebody says,
- 14:12Speaker 3: you know, we're going to drop a mine in the
- 14:14Speaker 3: middle of the Strait of Homos, not much you can
- 14:19Speaker 3: do to persuade a shipowner that has a billion dollar
- 14:23Speaker 3: ship that we're going to take a trip up the straight. Now,
- 14:25Speaker 3: yesterday you probably saw we sent two highly sophisticated, beautiful,
- 14:30Speaker 3: brand new destroyers right through the middle of the strait,
- 14:33Speaker 3: and nobody did anything to us, because what we do
- 14:36Speaker 3: is we follow the We follow the weapon back, so
- 14:39Speaker 3: it follows back and it knocks out the people on
- 14:43Speaker 3: the other side literally within three minutes. That knocked out
- 14:46Speaker 3: The technology is unbelievable. But we don't know whether or
- 14:51Speaker 3: not they do, whether or not they put mice. They
- 14:53Speaker 3: didn't talk about it yesterday. My implanation is to have
- 14:56Speaker 3: a few and I will tell you it was a
- 14:59Speaker 3: good this meeting. Is today really a good meeting except
- 15:02Speaker 3: for one problem, and it's ninety five percent they want
- 15:06Speaker 3: to have nuclear weapons.
- 15:07Speaker 1: It's not going to happen, the President, I said to America, saying,
- 15:10Speaker 1: there again, it's nuclear weapons. That's the big problem in
- 15:14Speaker 1: the meeting, and it's not going to happen. That's the
- 15:21Speaker 1: sticking point. And once he knew that they were not
- 15:24Speaker 1: going to move on that issue, the President moved to
- 15:28Speaker 1: change the direction of those talks. Iran refusing a deal
- 15:33Speaker 1: that would include that, and the President said, Okay, well
- 15:36Speaker 1: now we're going to move on to this. How is
- 15:39Speaker 1: it going to work? As the President talked about a
- 15:42Speaker 1: moment ago in his interview he did with Maria Bartiromo
- 15:45Speaker 1: on Sunday Morning Futures on Fox News Channel. The President
- 15:49Speaker 1: called in to her show to explain not only the blockade,
- 15:52Speaker 1: but also to explain why the deal fell apart, and
- 15:55Speaker 1: he said it just came down to their refusal to
- 15:58Speaker 1: agree on the nuclear ambition aspect of things. Here's more
- 16:02Speaker 1: of what the President had to say about what this
- 16:05Speaker 1: means moving forward.
- 16:07Speaker 5: And this is a key point, mister President, for those
- 16:09Speaker 5: people out there who have not been following it as closely,
- 16:14Speaker 5: Can you explain to those people why it was critical for.
- 16:18Speaker 6: The United States to go into Iran?
- 16:20Speaker 5: Can you articulate what was behind that move that was
- 16:24Speaker 5: so important.
- 16:25Speaker 6: For the US to go into Iran?
- 16:27Speaker 3: Yeah, so easy, the easiest question you've asked me so far.
- 16:30Speaker 3: They can't have nuclear weapons. They have nuclear they want
- 16:34Speaker 3: to enrich what they have, they want to enrich more.
- 16:38Speaker 3: As you know, we knocked out with the B two bombers.
- 16:40Speaker 3: Had we not knocked that out, they would have had
- 16:43Speaker 3: a nuclear weapon within one month after we knocked out.
- 16:46Speaker 3: In other words, that the B twos, those beautiful B
- 16:48Speaker 3: two bombers, totally obliterated their three sites. They have three
- 16:52Speaker 3: sites and they are now deep in the earth with
- 16:57Speaker 3: you know, tons of rock. Now that material should be gotten,
- 17:01Speaker 3: but we have cameras ow it. We have satellites with
- 17:04Speaker 3: Space Force where it was one of my beauty Space
- 17:06Speaker 3: Force so important. But we're watching those We're watching every
- 17:10Speaker 3: single aspect of that area. They can't move without us
- 17:13Speaker 3: knowing exactly what's going on. But it's deep down and
- 17:16Speaker 3: it takes a long time to get it out. It's
- 17:19Speaker 3: an amazing attack. Had we not done that, they would
- 17:22Speaker 3: have had within one month from that date, they would
- 17:25Speaker 3: have had a nuclear weapon. If they had a nuclear weapon,
- 17:27Speaker 3: they would have used it on Israel and the Middle East. Look,
- 17:30Speaker 3: they went after five countries that were sort of neutral.
- 17:36Speaker 3: I guess I don't know how friendly they were, but
- 17:38Speaker 3: they weren't in the line of attack. They dropped on
- 17:41Speaker 3: UAE probably eighteen hundred missiles. They dropped on Saudi Arabia
- 17:46Speaker 3: a lot, and they dropped on Qatar a lot. They
- 17:49Speaker 3: dropped on Bahrain. I mean, they went they went crazy,
- 17:55Speaker 3: and everyone was surprised. Actually it was good for us
- 17:58Speaker 3: because they all joined us immediately. You know, at some point,
- 18:01Speaker 3: I mean, they're either going to be petrified or they're
- 18:03Speaker 3: going to join. They all joined and they've been very helpful.
- 18:06Speaker 3: All of these countries have been great. And go wait,
- 18:08Speaker 3: and this is the.
- 18:08Speaker 5: Key point that I was getting to and the reason
- 18:12Speaker 5: that you feel they cannot have.
- 18:14Speaker 6: A nuclear weapon because they will use it. And that's
- 18:16Speaker 6: what I wanted you to you to the audience.
- 18:20Speaker 3: Yeah, I think they would use it, and they start
- 18:22Speaker 3: with Israel and one weapon would you know, do damage
- 18:26Speaker 3: like nobody's ever seen wipe it out conceivably big one
- 18:30Speaker 3: now not wipe it out. They don't. They don't need
- 18:32Speaker 3: more than one. And then they go after the Middle East,
- 18:34Speaker 3: and then they'd eventually come here, okay, and we're not
- 18:38Speaker 3: letting them come here, and we're not going to let them.
- 18:41Speaker 3: We have great allies over there. I'll tell you that
- 18:43Speaker 3: those five countries, the the the Israeli relationship. Look at
- 18:48Speaker 3: the incredible partnership we have on this and you know,
- 18:51Speaker 3: as bb Net Yahoo said, we're the We're the big
- 18:54Speaker 3: brother and they're the small brother. And you know, it's
- 18:57Speaker 3: been a very effective, very effective team what we've done
- 19:00Speaker 3: in a literally in a matter of days, within three
- 19:03Speaker 3: or four days, Aroun essentially was wiped out. And it's
- 19:08Speaker 3: so sad though when the press says they're fighting bravely,
- 19:12Speaker 3: they're not fighting bravely. They have no anti aircraft. Can
- 19:16Speaker 3: we fly over there at will, can take out anything
- 19:20Speaker 3: we want. As you know, last week I said, we're
- 19:22Speaker 3: going to strongly consider knocking out their power plants and
- 19:25Speaker 3: the rest of their bridges. We took down the Big Bridge,
- 19:27Speaker 3: but we just did that because we were having good discussions,
- 19:32Speaker 3: and they go to the press. They're very good with
- 19:34Speaker 3: public relations, much better with public relations than they are fighting.
- 19:38Speaker 3: They go to the press and they say President Trump
- 19:41Speaker 3: said it's okay for us to have a nuclear weapon,
- 19:44Speaker 3: when I never even spoke to them, and by the way,
- 19:46Speaker 3: that would be the only thing I would never say
- 19:48Speaker 3: to them, and they know that. And then the New
- 19:51Speaker 3: York Times, which is a fake, a fake paper. It's
- 19:54Speaker 3: just a fake You just believed the opposite. It's so
- 19:57Speaker 3: sad when you look at CNN, the New New York Times,
- 20:00Speaker 3: ABC fake news, NBC fake news. When you look at
- 20:04Speaker 3: this stuff, it's so sad to see it. I mean,
- 20:07Speaker 3: they report things that they know are falls. It's it's
- 20:10Speaker 3: almost treason is actually if you want to really know that,
- 20:13Speaker 3: it's almost presentness. But uh, if you if you're reading
- 20:17Speaker 3: the New York Times exclusively and not and their circulation,
- 20:20Speaker 3: by the way, it's way down. It's way down. I'm
- 20:23Speaker 3: proud to report that. But if you're reading the New
- 20:26Speaker 3: York Times exclusively, you would say that they are doing
- 20:30Speaker 3: great in the wars.
- 20:31Speaker 6: President I want to ask you they have is.
- 20:34Speaker 3: The ability to say, well, we may have some minds,
- 20:37Speaker 3: and you know, if you have it if you have
- 20:38Speaker 3: a ship who wants to take a chance, You're not
- 20:40Speaker 3: going to take a chance.
- 20:41Speaker 5: This President, I want to ask you about that because
- 20:43Speaker 5: you put out a treat and it really gripped the
- 20:46Speaker 5: nation a week ago when we were all waiting and
- 20:50Speaker 5: watching for the United States's next move should the Iranians
- 20:54Speaker 5: not open the Strait of Hormuz and you wrote this
- 20:57Speaker 5: on truth social A whole civilation will die tonight, never
- 21:02Speaker 5: to be brought back again. I don't want that to happen,
- 21:05Speaker 5: but it probably will. However, now that we have a
- 21:08Speaker 5: complete and total regime change, we're a different smarter and
- 21:10Speaker 5: less radicalized minds prevail. Maybe something wonderful can happen. Miss President,
- 21:16Speaker 5: you were criticized for this treat because you said a
- 21:18Speaker 5: whole civilization will die tonight.
- 21:20Speaker 6: What do you want to say about that?
- 21:22Speaker 5: And what can you tell us about next steps here?
- 21:24Speaker 6: Are you planning further distruggle?
- 21:27Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm fine with that that statement brought them to
- 21:29Speaker 3: the table, or with the exception of the one thing
- 21:32Speaker 3: which I believe that they're going to give up on.
- 21:34Speaker 3: I believe they're going to give up in that pretty soon,
- 21:36Speaker 3: to be honest, because it's not going to work. We were,
- 21:40Speaker 3: we actually thought we had them, and then all of
- 21:42Speaker 3: a sudden they said no, we want so you know,
- 21:44Speaker 3: but I believe. And when I say that, but remember
- 21:47Speaker 3: what do they said us? For years I've had to
- 21:50Speaker 3: listen to them say death to America. Right, they say
- 21:54Speaker 3: death to America, Death to issue America, the Satan. We
- 21:57Speaker 3: will destroy America. Death can Now does anybody ever complain
- 22:02Speaker 3: to you when they say that? I think that's a
- 22:04Speaker 3: big step worse. Death to America. So they're allowed to
- 22:08Speaker 3: say death to America. And what I'm referring to is
- 22:12Speaker 3: and when I talk about civilization, it'll be much different
- 22:14Speaker 3: because their military will be totally gone. It's pretty much
- 22:17Speaker 3: gone now, but their military, look at their leadership. We
- 22:21Speaker 3: have had regime change because the people we dealt with
- 22:24Speaker 3: yesterday were frankly, very smart, very sharp, very good, very good.
- 22:33Speaker 3: I think they were smarter than the people from before
- 22:35Speaker 3: Kumani and that group is look what, Look what it
- 22:38Speaker 3: got them. Look what they're all of their antics were
- 22:41Speaker 3: spending trillions. If they spent all their money on weapons,
- 22:44Speaker 3: we've destroyed most of those weapons. But you know, when
- 22:47Speaker 3: I say about a civilization, it really has changed it
- 22:50Speaker 3: really has. But think of it. They're allowed to say
- 22:53Speaker 3: death to America, death to this death. You know, I
- 22:57Speaker 3: make one statement, they say, oh, such a big deal.
- 23:00Speaker 3: Let me tell you that statement got them to the
- 23:02Speaker 3: bargaining table, and they haven't left. They haven't left the
- 23:05Speaker 3: bargaining table. I predict they come back and they give
- 23:08Speaker 3: us everything we want. And I tell my people, I
- 23:11Speaker 3: want everything. I don't want ninety percent. I don't want
- 23:14Speaker 3: ninety five percent. I told them I want everything.
- 23:17Speaker 1: Well, and what they Let me just jump in here
- 23:20Speaker 1: real quick on this, because what the President just said there,
- 23:22Speaker 1: I want everything. Some are going to say, all right, well,
- 23:25Speaker 1: maybe that's just the present wanting too much. What matters
- 23:28Speaker 1: the most is the nuclear part. And if they've agreed
- 23:33Speaker 1: to ninety five percent, as the President described, to everything else,
- 23:36Speaker 1: but the main issue is nuclear and we know what
- 23:38Speaker 1: they'll do with nuclear weapons, then the president's right to
- 23:42Speaker 1: say I want everything. By the way, the list isn't
- 23:45Speaker 1: actually that long. What are we demanding. We're demanding that
- 23:51Speaker 1: Iran stopped sponsoring terrorists and killing innocent people. We're demanding
- 23:57Speaker 1: that Iran stop holding the world hostage with a straight
- 23:59Speaker 1: up We're demanding that Iran stopped giving my to Hamas
- 24:03Speaker 1: and has bought any other terrorist organization that they can
- 24:05Speaker 1: kill and go and kill people our allies around the world,
- 24:10Speaker 1: but also in Israel, we're demanding that they leave in
- 24:14Speaker 1: essence Israel, our ally alone. What we're asking for is
- 24:20Speaker 1: not crazy. What we're asking for is rational, insane. We're
- 24:26Speaker 1: asking a terrorist state to stop being a terrorist state,
- 24:30Speaker 1: and we're making sure that tear state never becomes a
- 24:32Speaker 1: nuclear power, because they've already told us what they'll do
- 24:34Speaker 1: if they get a nuclear weapon. So when the President says,
- 24:37Speaker 1: I told my side, you get one hundred percent, not
- 24:41Speaker 1: ninety five, but one hundred, I sort of support the
- 24:44Speaker 1: President on that logic. It makes sense. President Trump warning
- 24:49Speaker 1: Iran over the straight up her moves as they are
- 24:52Speaker 1: taking those tanker fees. They said no more, and the
- 24:55Speaker 1: President is now saying that you better not be going
- 24:58Speaker 1: in and out of Iranian ports, and if you all are,
- 25:00Speaker 1: we are going to stop you. Sentcom confirming the US
- 25:04Speaker 1: Navy to block ships entering and exiting Iranian ports. They
- 25:08Speaker 1: will explain the blockade. Syncom did by saying this we
- 25:12Speaker 1: will we will be enforcing uh enforce partial impartially against
- 25:18Speaker 1: vessels of all nations that are either entering or trying
- 25:21Speaker 1: to leave Iranian ports, including those located on the Arabian
- 25:26Speaker 1: Gulf and the Gulf of Aman. Sincom also certified the
- 25:30Speaker 1: US Navy would not impede freedom of navigation for vessels
- 25:33Speaker 1: transmitting our transit transitioning these studifmus and uh to and
- 25:39Speaker 1: from non Iranian ports mean they can still go through.
- 25:42Speaker 1: The blockade will be enforced in partially against vessels of
- 25:46Speaker 1: all nations entering or departing Iranian ports and coastal areas.
- 25:51Speaker 1: Sincom said the forces will not impede freedom of vessels again.
- 25:57Speaker 1: In a second statement, the President United States and mayor
- 26:01Speaker 1: calling in to Maria Bartromo's show on Fox News Sunday Futures.
- 26:07Speaker 1: Here is more of what the President had to say.
- 26:10Speaker 3: They have no cards, Maria, Maria, yep. They have no cards.
- 26:14Speaker 3: Their navy is gone, their air force is gone, totally gone.
- 26:18Speaker 3: They have nothing. They have no ships. One hundred and
- 26:20Speaker 3: fifty eight chips are at the bottom of the sea. Good ones,
- 26:24Speaker 3: good ones new the Solomani. They had one goal. The
- 26:28Speaker 3: Slomani was taken out by one of our tiger sharks,
- 26:30Speaker 3: by one of our rapid, rapidly moving submarines. It's amazing.
- 26:37Speaker 3: Our military is so good. Do you know our military
- 26:39Speaker 3: is a ninety four percent approval rating. Now, well, Congress
- 26:43Speaker 3: has a fourteen percent, the media has a twelve percent.
- 26:46Speaker 3: When I started, the media had a ninety two percent
- 26:49Speaker 3: approval rating. Now they're down to fourteen percent. Wow, And
- 26:52Speaker 3: I'm very proud of it, because they're very dishonest.
- 26:54Speaker 6: Miss President.
- 26:55Speaker 5: I see what just took place in terms of our
- 26:57Speaker 5: NATO allies pushing back and not supporting you and the
- 27:01Speaker 5: United States. And I see what has happened with our
- 27:04Speaker 5: golf allies in the Middle East, who do not want
- 27:07Speaker 5: a bully in the Middle East any longer. Are you
- 27:10Speaker 5: expecting those golf allies to help you in this blockade?
- 27:13Speaker 6: In the straight up formos?
- 27:14Speaker 3: Oh?
- 27:15Speaker 6: What other countries are going to join that?
- 27:17Speaker 3: So the Golf States, now you could say they're much looser,
- 27:20Speaker 3: so maybe they have to do it, but you know,
- 27:22Speaker 3: they also could stay out. But they made a mistake
- 27:25Speaker 3: when they started lobbing missiles at them. And here's the
- 27:28Speaker 3: good thing. The Gulf States, they are rich and they
- 27:30Speaker 3: have a lot of patriots, are patriot missile which is
- 27:33Speaker 3: an anti missile missile, and it's unbelievable. They fired at
- 27:37Speaker 3: us one day, at a certain asset that we have,
- 27:40Speaker 3: namely the aircraft carrier Abraham Lincoln, one of the beauties
- 27:44Speaker 3: of the world, one of the great beauties of the world.
- 27:47Speaker 3: They fired one hundred and one missiles out of one hundred.
- 27:51Speaker 3: These things are going two thousand, more than two thousand
- 27:54Speaker 3: miles an hour, and out of one hundred and one missiles,
- 27:58Speaker 3: one hundred and one were shot down like nothing and
- 28:01Speaker 3: are now at the bottom of the sea, the remnants
- 28:04Speaker 3: of them. Think of it, one hundred and one missiles
- 28:07Speaker 3: shot in a short period of time. All one hundred
- 28:09Speaker 3: and one were knocked out. So we have the greatest
- 28:12Speaker 3: military equipment, we have the greatest people. We have the
- 28:15Speaker 3: strongest military in the world by far, and everybody sees it,
- 28:18Speaker 3: whether it's Venezuela or what we've done with a Rent.
- 28:22Speaker 3: And when I read, you know, the fake news talking
- 28:26Speaker 3: about how well Arrene and they're not doing well at all.
- 28:28Speaker 3: They're getting killed. I could take out a Rent in
- 28:31Speaker 3: one day, I could take down in one in one hour.
- 28:35Speaker 3: I could have their entire energy everything, every one of
- 28:39Speaker 3: their plants. They're electric generating plants, which is a big deal,
- 28:43Speaker 3: and I hate to do it because if I do it,
- 28:45Speaker 3: it takes you ten years to rebuild. They'll never be
- 28:48Speaker 3: able to rebuild it. And the other thing, you take
- 28:50Speaker 3: out of the bridges. I took out one just to
- 28:52Speaker 3: show them because they went public with a statement that
- 28:57Speaker 3: wasn't true. They admitted it. I say, I'm going to
- 28:59Speaker 3: take out a bridge, and I took out a bridge
- 29:02Speaker 3: and that was the end of that. Now they've been
- 29:04Speaker 3: really behaving quite well, but in one half of a day,
- 29:09Speaker 3: they wouldn't have one bridge standing, they wouldn't have one
- 29:12Speaker 3: electric generating plant standing, and they're back in the Stone Ages.
- 29:17Speaker 3: I'd rather not do that. But I do believe they're
- 29:20Speaker 3: going to come to the table on this because nobody
- 29:23Speaker 3: can be so stupid as to say that we want
- 29:27Speaker 3: to have nuclear weapons and they have no cards. They
- 29:29Speaker 3: have no cards whatsoever.
- 29:30Speaker 5: So if they do not give up that effort, is
- 29:34Speaker 5: that the plan? Will you further destruct Iran?
- 29:37Speaker 3: Yeah? I will if they don't give that plan up. Yeah,
- 29:40Speaker 3: I'm not in huge, Harry. What we want to do
- 29:42Speaker 3: is we'll open up the straight But the ships are
- 29:45Speaker 3: coming up to the United States, I've been inviting everybody.
- 29:49Speaker 3: It's pretty good.
- 29:49Speaker 6: Let's talk about that as president.
- 29:51Speaker 5: Because you refer to a post that hundreds of supertankers
- 29:55Speaker 5: are headed to the Gulf of America to buy oil
- 29:58Speaker 5: and gas from the US.
- 29:59Speaker 6: What can you tell about that, sir, Well.
- 30:01Speaker 3: I can tell you that it used to be called
- 30:03Speaker 3: the Gulf of Mexico. That's what I can tell you.
- 30:05Speaker 3: Now it's called the Gulf of America because of me,
- 30:07Speaker 3: one of my little things that I did, you know,
- 30:09Speaker 3: one of my little sidelines. And it's a great honor.
- 30:12Speaker 3: People are so happy. You go to Louisiana, you go
- 30:14Speaker 3: to Florida, you go to these states, Texas, they're so
- 30:17Speaker 3: honored by it. I used to say, why why is
- 30:20Speaker 3: it the Gulf of Mexico when we have ninety three
- 30:23Speaker 3: percent of the frontage and you know front's ninety three
- 30:26Speaker 3: percent of the United States. I said, I think I'm
- 30:28Speaker 3: going to change it to the Gulf of America. What
- 30:31Speaker 3: a beautiful name. And I did. And I give a
- 30:34Speaker 3: lot of credit to Google because once I filed the papers,
- 30:37Speaker 3: I did it, and Google Map once Google map Change,
- 30:41Speaker 3: you know, did it. It was it was a done deal.
- 30:43Speaker 3: But we had we had lawsuits, we had lost, we
- 30:47Speaker 3: won everything, and it's now the Golf of America, which
- 30:50Speaker 3: I'm very which I'm very honored by.
- 30:53Speaker 6: But but do you ex about.
- 30:55Speaker 3: I might tell you I was thinking about calling it
- 30:57Speaker 3: the Golf of Trump, and I decided not to do it.
- 31:02Speaker 3: I think maybe it was a wise I think that
- 31:04Speaker 3: one maybe wouldn't have worked out. I'm not so sure.
- 31:06Speaker 3: You'll have to tell me, but I was thinking about
- 31:08Speaker 3: it's going to be called the Gulf of Trump, and
- 31:10Speaker 3: then I said, you know that's not going to play
- 31:12Speaker 3: too well.
- 31:13Speaker 5: I think no, I'm kidding, you're being facetious.
- 31:18Speaker 3: I know that headlines headline tomorrow.
- 31:21Speaker 6: Oil exporters. I'm telling me about this because do you.
- 31:24Speaker 5: Expect super tankers, empty supertankers to go to the Golf America,
- 31:29Speaker 5: to go to Louisiana, go to Texas.
- 31:31Speaker 3: Rotorty coming, well, Texas, they're going to go to Texas.
- 31:33Speaker 3: They're going to go all along on shoreline. I mean,
- 31:35Speaker 3: we have, we have the biggest sports and they're going
- 31:38Speaker 3: to go. Remember this, and this is pretty fairy, and
- 31:40Speaker 3: this is my time that we were. When I came
- 31:43Speaker 3: into office, we were third and fourth in energy in
- 31:47Speaker 3: doing exactly this, the oil and gas and other things.
- 31:50Speaker 3: Now we're bigger than Saudi Arabia. Think of this, and
- 31:54Speaker 3: we're bigger than Saudi Arabia. Add Saudi Arabia with Russia,
- 31:59Speaker 3: and add another cune in there, which ever one you want.
- 32:01Speaker 3: We're bigger than all of them combined. Think of that.
- 32:04Speaker 3: That's all because of Trump. And when Biden inherited that system,
- 32:09Speaker 3: he changed it. Then he tried going back to it
- 32:12Speaker 3: because the oil was going up, you know, the you remember,
- 32:15Speaker 3: was going up seven eight dollars, et cetera. But look
- 32:17Speaker 3: at even now we have to get rid of this
- 32:20Speaker 3: nuclear threat, and people in our country have oil. People
- 32:24Speaker 3: in other countries are getting hurt. One of the things
- 32:27Speaker 3: that most amazes me, though the Strait is for Japan,
- 32:31Speaker 3: where they get ninety three percent of their oil. You
- 32:34Speaker 3: know that Japan South Korea gets forty five percent of it.
- 32:37Speaker 3: So these people haven't helped us. I say, are you
- 32:40Speaker 3: guys going to help? And you know we have forty
- 32:43Speaker 3: five thousand soldiers and fifty thousand respectively at those two places,
- 32:47Speaker 3: forty five and fifty thousand soldiers. We guard them and
- 32:52Speaker 3: protect them, and when we want a little help, they
- 32:54Speaker 3: don't help us that well, we wanted help from NATO.
- 32:57Speaker 3: They don't help us, and we paid. I don't know
- 32:59Speaker 3: if you saw nine hundred, almost a trillion dollars toward
- 33:04Speaker 3: NATO in a very short period of time to protect
- 33:07Speaker 3: them against Russia mostly and then when we're there and
- 33:11Speaker 3: you know, Biden, I wouldn't have done this, You wouldn't
- 33:13Speaker 3: have had the Ukraine problem. That Russia would have never
- 33:15Speaker 3: attacked Yukraham. But under Biden, who was an incompetent president,
- 33:18Speaker 3: he was grossly incompetent. To look, the election was rigged,
- 33:21Speaker 3: you know that. I know that everybody knows that now
- 33:24Speaker 3: and it's all come out and it's coming out. But
- 33:27Speaker 3: under Biden, if you take a look at what happened
- 33:30Speaker 3: when he was president, that's a war that would have
- 33:33Speaker 3: never happened. Russia attacking Ukraine, and I ended ray. I
- 33:37Speaker 3: ended eight wars, including Pakistan. You know, Pakistan was great. Yesterday.
- 33:41Speaker 3: There were the ones that really facilitated the meeting. But
- 33:44Speaker 3: the thanks and every time I see him, they thank pause.
- 33:46Speaker 3: They were going to have a war with Indian, as
- 33:48Speaker 3: the Prime Minister said very openly to everybody between fifty
- 33:52Speaker 3: thirty to fifty million people would have been killed. And
- 33:55Speaker 3: I got it ended. I said, if you guys are
- 33:57Speaker 3: going to have a war, we're not going to do
- 33:58Speaker 3: any trading with you, even or not. I got it
- 34:01Speaker 3: ended because of tariffs. Miss Supreme Court was not nice
- 34:05Speaker 3: to me about this.
- 34:07Speaker 6: Is this all going to be enough?
- 34:08Speaker 5: The blockade in the Strait, the opening up capacity in
- 34:12Speaker 5: the United States for is this going to be enough
- 34:14Speaker 5: to lower the price of oil and gas?
- 34:17Speaker 3: Well, it's going to be eventually, it's going to be lowered. No,
- 34:19Speaker 3: it might not happen initially, but it's gonna it's going
- 34:22Speaker 3: to go down when this is all over. Look the
- 34:25Speaker 3: stock market, the Dow hit fifty thousand. It was supposed
- 34:29Speaker 3: to be in four or five years. They said it
- 34:31Speaker 3: won't happen during his term, but it'll be maybe four
- 34:34Speaker 3: or five years. It hit fifty thousand in my first year.
- 34:38Speaker 3: You know it better than anybody. You cover it better
- 34:40Speaker 3: than anybody. The S and P hit seven thousand in
- 34:44Speaker 3: my first year before my first year, you know that.
- 34:47Speaker 3: And I said to myself, Oh, here we go. I
- 34:49Speaker 3: gotta stop this, this country from having a nuclear weapon.
