Welcome to the folks in Pensacola.
Also want to remind you that youcan catch this program at 9:00
AM now in Phoenix. That's 9:00 AM on the Bull 1340
and 99.1. And we wrote welcome the morning
audience of Phoenix and Mesa, AZAlso glad to have back Michael
(00:55):
Letts. He is the Invest usa.org CEO and
founder. It's an organization that helps
frontliners, law enforcement stay alive literally by wearing
bullet bulletproof vest that he provides at no charge.
So check it out investorusa.org.He's also got the ear of the
president and is much in the know with what's happening both
(01:18):
internationally and here at home.
So let's talk about what's happening internationally.
First of all, Trump looked really upset on Tuesday morning
because Israel decided just minutes before the ceasefire was
to take place at 4:00 AM Tehran time on Tuesday.
And then came the barrage of more assault weapons.
(01:40):
What's going on in the White House internally?
Give me your perspective on how frustrating this must be for the
president. Well, it was very frustrating
from the standpoint that, you know, here is the objective.
Of course, most people were saying he could never achieve
that objective is Cong was hoping for peace.
As we first understood and negotiate a settlement.
(02:03):
We realized that we could not have Iran having nuclear
capability and they had gotten to that point.
That failed. So Israel took management into
its own hand and lost an initialstrike, very successful, I might
add. They didn't just launch it out
of the spur of the moment. They've been planning this for
years. They even actually built a base
(02:24):
inside Iran right outside of Tehran to store drones etcetera
to prepare them for the launch when the day would come, which
it did come and knocked out the vast majority of Iran's air
defense systems wide open targets.
Now for the nuclear facilities, they sent in their first wave on
the on the second strike and took out vast majority of the
(02:45):
nuclear capabilities of Iran, but they had three particular
sites that were deep inside the earth.
And the only military technologyin the world is possessed by us,
not China, not Russia, US, the United States of America.
It's called B2 Bunker Busters. And so Israel was pleading that
(03:07):
we would utilize those to finishannihilating their nuclear
capabilities. And the president did not want
to do that. He wanted to move forward, to
continue to offer negotiations. He extended that all in branch
numerous times. The Ayatollah rejected it and
quite frankly, put the presidentin a position he had no choice.
(03:28):
And here's what I'm telling the American people.
And we turn that down and allowed Iran to continue to have
the majority of its nuclear capabilities.
And then they've been a nuclear Holocaust year, 2 years, three
years to other with millions dying.
That would be someone your conscious you never want to live
with. So we took that opportunity.
We went in, we made it very clear that we were not going to
(03:49):
make this a long term commitment.
We were simply going to eliminate their nuclear
capability and then deescalate and bring the war to a close.
We did that, did it very successfully, took out their
nuclear capabilities. Of course, you know, Iran had to
which you would expect had to save some face.
They had to fire some missiles back, retaliate towards things
(04:11):
against the US, but they even notified us when the missiles
were coming ahead of time. There were no casualties to
American forces or anything along those lines.
And so basically the president said, OK, enough is enough and
this is it, war is over. Iran and Israel agreed to a
ceasefire, which will then probably by late this afternoon,
(04:33):
go into a permanent ceasefire and the war will cease.
However, Israel was itchy on thetrigger and there were some
additional missiles that were fired from Iran.
You have to understand the majority of Iran's leadership
has been taken out. So you don't know who exactly is
controlling the switches right now.
And of course, is Rwanda immediately retaliate.
(04:55):
They did fire a few things back.And that's what got the
president upset this morning waswe are going to have a ceasefire
whether you people like it or not.
We have done what needs to be done.
We stepped up to the plate. Enough is enough.
We have just now been notified the ceasefire is in effect and
we expect it to hold and we expect this hostility to be
terminated within the next 12 to14 hours.
(05:18):
All right, So what if is the president likely at all to just
walk away from all of this if these two sides can't maintain
some sort of civility in all this?
In other words, if it gets to the point where they're just not
stopping with the the lobbying of missiles and strikes and
drones, do you think the president would walk away from
all of this and just wash his hands or, or is he able to do
(05:39):
that? He is able to do that.
I did not foresee that happening, and here's why I make
the statements that I did. Quite frankly, the United States
has enough presence, shall we say, with Israel to be able to
have some very tourist discussions and some very harsh
(06:00):
movements. With Iran, we have the same
thing now that they have no nuclear capability.
Knocked it out. Plus, understand that whatever
leadership is left in Iran is fighting for its very survival.
The Crown Prince Paholia is now saying, hey, it's time for the
regime, the ayatollahs, to step down.
They have done enough destruction over the last 40
(06:22):
years. I'm coming back and we'll see.
And quite frankly, the polls show that 7080% of Iranians are
tired of living under the ayatollahs with harsh Cherie,
etcetera, etcetera, and want a change.
So quite frankly, I think the Iranian regime has its hands
full, would just determine whether it can survive or
(06:44):
whether there's going to be a regime change.
We're talking with Michael Letts, top national security
expert and advisor and an experienced law enforcement
officer. So let's turn our attention here
at home. I I I'm a little confused about
this potential sleeper cell situation #1 because all it does
is enhance more law enforcement presence.
(07:04):
Was absolutely hate #2 most Iranians, You said 70%.
I mean, 7 out of 10 people who are from Iran or in Iran hate
the regime, so why on earth would be worried about sleeper
cells? Well, our Intel shows we've done
this for some time, that there is a very strong terrorist
networks already established in this country.
(07:26):
It has banded together from members of the cartels, member
of human sex trafficking organizations, enemies abroad
such as the CCP and Iran and others.
They finally figured it out. Why don't we all band together?
We'll help fund things together and let's try to create heaven
from within. Now, after the launching of
(07:47):
missiles began, Israel, Iran, and then of course, when the US
took out nuclear capabilities, the Ayatollah's gut reaction was
to call for a jihad against the United States by the sleeper
cells that was activated. We know we have sleeper cells
all over the place. I've got a list of cities.
I'll pop off a few DC, Boca Raton, Scarlett, New York, LA,
(08:14):
San Francisco, San Diego, Dallas, and our list could go on
and on and on. We know we have sleeper cell
presence. So we are now dedicating our
intelligence in the Bureau to make sure we pick this up and we
monitor any activity, any activity that's moved we
considered to be hostile. We are prepared because you
(08:34):
remember the President signed the insurrection at last week,
the insurgent, our insurrectionist riots that were
occurring on LA, across the country, actually, you know, in
New York. I mean, just you name it, they
were trying to put them together, trying to create,
trying to break the law, attack police officers, destroy
property. And so military presence has
(08:55):
been used and that order is still in effect.
We will use that military presence should there be a
coordinated effort by these terrorist cells.
You're beginning to see some of the surface.
You saw the church attack in Michigan.
Now they're saying, no, that wasn't related.
That's a little premature, quitefrankly.
We're seeing terrorist activity,a lot of it.
(09:17):
We've leveled the awareness and heightened security for the
country to red level under the Homeland Security.
And we are very being very vigilant.
I will agree with exactly what you said though, Jim.
This is a temporary measure. This is not the way we want
life, everyday life in America. We want to make sure we have
restored freedom, justice and liberty and we can go back to
(09:39):
all of us as Americans. I'm holding an arm and I do want
to throw this out. Jim Hold.
On all of these. Ties in together.
Let me check. Let me take a quick break.
We'll come back and we'll let you continue.
What you're talking about here. Very important information,
Michael, Let's here with us on America Today.
(10:07):
This segment of the program is brought to you by Southwest
Florida dreamhome.com. Let the journey begin with a new
real estate, maybe an investmentproperty or just a place you
could call home. Southwest Florida dreamhome.com
is the place to start. We've got Michael let's on the
line just before the break. And Michael let's national
security expert and advisor. And we were talking about the
(10:27):
state of affairs internally looking for possible sleeper
cells activated by those of our enemies in the Middle East.
We don't know where the dark money is flowing, but we're on
alert. So I would say to you, Michael,
just before the break, you said that it's temporary to have
these. And you know, are we?
It almost sounds like we're in astate of war.
(10:49):
We are in a state of war. I'm very glad that you mentioned
that, that that quite frankly, needs to be repeated very often
for the next few days. We are in a state of war.
There's no question about we were in a state of war, you say,
against Iran. No, we're in a state of war,
quite frankly, to make sure we secure our country from those
who are trying to destroy it from within the insurrectionist
(11:11):
rioters. Yes, there are other nefarious
activities across the world. CCP is doing everything they can
to help fund these riots across this country.
They're doing everything they can but continue to bring in the
chemicals necessary for the manufacturing of fentanyl to
destroy our young people. They are continuing, quite
frankly, to manufacture various viruses that can be considered
(11:36):
deadly, hazardous virus, virus, biological viruses that can
cause great harm to the Americanpeople.
So quite frankly, if the truth is the CCP has never been our
friend, it's been interesting. The mainstream media has wanted
you to believe that it's been Russia.
That should be our number one adversarial concern.
(11:57):
However, let me remind the American people, the only
superpower who had an agreement with Iran, that if Iran was ever
attacked, they would step in anddefend is Russia.
You'll notice Russia stood down.You'll notice that China,
however, delivered armaments, among other things, to try to
(12:18):
help prop up and continue the escalation of hostilities with
Iran, Israel, and of course, with our involvement as well.
So keep this in mind, folks. Everything that you see has one
particular purpose in mind. Globally, they are attempting to
destroy what's left of America and we're going to make sure
(12:38):
with this new administration, wedefender and defender
vigorously. Why am I tying it all in
together when it comes to human sex trafficking?
And we have got 10s of thousandsof special forces that are
working across the world now, not just ours, but others, to
eradicate human child sex trafficking.
(12:59):
When it comes to protecting our borders from drug cartels, when
it comes to eliminating the drugcartels who have chosen to harm
American citizens, it all works together.
This is all one major overhaul trying to protect America's
interests. And when it comes, here's the
other key component I want us torealize as Americans, none of
(13:22):
this happens without money. Where has the money come from?
Almost all been China. Well, yeah, I was given money.
So we have activists like GeorgeSoros, Lily Christie Walton from
the Walmart Foundation, etcetera, etcetera.
But however, a great bill of that money has come from here.
It's come from you and I, Unbeknownst to US, Congress has
(13:45):
used the money to fund NGOs thatinsure and give them some of
that money back for their own personal use.
And the NGOs they have funded have one goal in mind, and
that's to support these liberal causes that destroy the very
fabric of America's society. So we've got to clean that up as
well. So here is why I'm trying to
stress in this quick interview we're doing, Jim, everything
(14:08):
that you see is not peaceful. It's all being played out for
one particular reason and that is to bring liberty and Freedom
and Justice back to the Americanpeople.
When you don't see a bill passing, a budget bill, or when
you see one being pushed becausewe have to do things
differently. We're not going to continue with
continuing resolutions and fun things without money to be
(14:28):
stolen from the US Treasury as it has been in the past.
All this ties in. If you have any questions, Jim
Watkins is the guy to listen to.He just sent the best
information coming in or you feel free to visit our website,
get anything else you may need. But folks, we are in a war.
I love the way Jim said it. We are in a war for the very
soul, the very future of America, good versus evil.
(14:50):
We're making great progress and great strife to winning that
war. Often we'll have victory, but we
won't have victory if we all turn on ourselves.
We have to stay united as Americans.
Man, it's just hard keeping track of the hour by hour
developments. But in your opinion, you believe
that? And I've said this too, that
Trump is resistant to get too involved because he wants to
(15:13):
have a legacy of being a peacemaker and a deal maker,
even though the forces are stacked up against him.
Who's he listening to right now,in your opinion?
Who does he trust more as much as anyone else?
But who is he really leaning on?Is it Rubio?
Is it Who is it? Who is in the inner circle that
that is echoing in? And by the way, Pete Hegseth has
(15:35):
done a terrific job of keeping secrets from escaping, which is
something the Biden administration could never do.
Hence, we were able to have the the bombing mission, the
Operation Midnight. So hats off to Pete Hagseth.
But who is Trump leaning on right now, you think?
Well, I will tell you this, thathas been his biggest frustration
(16:00):
is finding people that he can trust who give him the advice
that he needs without trying to further themselves.
I've often told the president last people you want are the
people who are looking at the next election.
You want somebody there who hates being in DC, doesn't want
to be there for a minute, but realizes he is answering the
call of his country and wants toget it done as quickly as
(16:23):
possible and get home. He so he my point of making that
is he has a lot of people that you would not recognize that are
not known that are on the in theinside giving advice for one
reason. Don't have it, don't have a
paycheck, don't have a title, don't not looking to be
appointed to a huge place for the next 10 years.
Just want to serve my country and get out of here.
(16:45):
And that's the best advice for those are the people he needs to
be listening to the most. All right.
Any word on this Minnesota shooting of the two politicians
and the shooter saying that Tim Waltz wanted him to do it?
Do you have any Intel on that? We do.
We are continuing to research that now.
(17:06):
Obviously we know who is appointed, what his philosophy
was, what the manifesto was, unlike with the mainstream
media. He definitely was a progressive
Democratic liberal and he definitely was a usage to remind
Democrats that they either sticktogether or are they going to
pay a big price for it. Because the two Democrats, the
(17:28):
one that was killed, the Speakerof the House, and the other that
was shot 9 times, the state senator, were the only two
Democrats who had opted to, for first time in generations, vote
against their party's platform for a budget and refuse to
continue to fund illegal immigration.
And so we know that that's the purpose behind it.
(17:49):
How far, how much deeper it goes, We're still investigating.
Very good. Let's is with us today.
He'll be back tomorrow as well. We've got a little more than a
minute. How is your invest USA?
We don't talk about that too much.
You we should though, because you're especially now with so
many frontline defenders, you'vegot law enforcement, ICE.
(18:12):
Are you getting the donations you need to get the vests out to
these law enforcement officers? Donations are up.
They're never where they need tobe, but they certainly are up
with more. More officers are getting the
protection that they need. Here's the key thing.
Then we have to send a message to our first responders that
we've got their back, that we asa country are determined to
(18:33):
protect them as much as they protect us.
We can work this together. We have great unlimited
possibilities for the future. So make sure if you have an
opportunity, I've said this on the year before with you, Jim, I
don't care where you can only donate $0.50, donate something
so that we can tell the Americanfirst responders, hundreds of
millions of Americans have your back and they're behind you.
(18:56):
And that would make such a big difference in their performance
in the days ahead, which is critical to America's survival.
All right, Michael, that's always glad Invest usa.org is
his website. We'll see you in 24 hours and
I'm sure there'll be a lot of stuff to talk about tomorrow.
This is how quickly things are changing in the landscape of
geopolitics. Thanks again, Michael.
(19:16):
We'll talk to you in 24 hours. God bless you, Jim.
God Bless America. Keep doing what you're doing.
