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