Speaker 1 (00:01):
Do you believe that Iran should be able to have
a nuclear weapon?
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Now?
Speaker 1 (00:07):
I asked that question in the context of the latest
news coming out of Iran, Iran Supreme leader on obtaining
a nuclear weapon or nuclear weapons plural.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
I want you to understand what he said.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
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 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,
(00:45):
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.
It's a terrorism regime. More important that we protect our
country from their nuclear bombs, then we protect their nuclear
(01:06):
sites from our bombs.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
There are no second chances. Now, I go back to
the core of what.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
I've been saying about Iran in their nuclear program for
a long time. When they tell you they want to
wipe you off the face of the earth, you might
want to believe them.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
When the Rand.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
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.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
To the sea.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Believe them, 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.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
This is the exact words.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
It's going to be translated, so not to 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.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
Let that sink in. That was statement one.
Speaker 4 (02:15):
He said.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
I have stated the reasons previously for many years, from
the nineteen forties to the seventies, that is thirty years,
he said.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Thirty years.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
The Americans did everything they could to go against the
Iranian policy. They hit Iran anyway they could financially, economically, politically, scientifically,
and morally.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
Now he's saying this in front of everybody in.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Iran on TV there just so you understand, if it
were not for American support, if it were not for
the support of US weapons. He goes on to say,
the corrupt and artificial Zionist regime would have destroyed in
the first week. Pretty interesting for the guys in charge Iran.
It would have collapsed. The Americans are behind this. Now
(03:09):
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 the
question why would anyone want Iran to have nuclear weapons?
(03:33):
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 (03:44):
I want them not to have an OCLU weapon.
Speaker 5 (03:45):
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 (03:54):
Now there's people that say that's radical, that that's an
extreme viewpoint, asking for trouble.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
All right, So let's go back and.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
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 fifteen rand nuclear deal,
which was again done by Biden and Obama. And that
(04:23):
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.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
Like you wouldn't believe.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
It gave them a lot of money, which helped them
get to where they're this close to a nuclear weapon.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
Now.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Now, 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
(05:00):
of Iranian General Solmani in twenty twenty, which signaled a
strong deterrent stance. These actions were credited by some analysts
and allies as preventing Iran from openly accelerating its nuclear
weapons development during the Trump administration his first term in office.
Now you look at Iran's response, okay. Iran's response to
(05:21):
Trump's pressure campaign was met with obviously 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.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
They weren't helping.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
People, you know, carry out the attacks on Israel. For example,
Iran was behind that and helped with the training and
the funding of the attack on Israel.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
We know that. Would they have done that if Trump
was present?
Speaker 1 (05:54):
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 of this
is evidence that Trump's hard line approach was effective in
deterring more severe provocations, or really another way of putting
it as nuclear advancements all together. Now you look at
(06:15):
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 you can't do?
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Right? Who are we to tell them?
Speaker 1 (06:34):
I look at this and I'm like, what insane person
would believe that a Ran should have nuclear weapons? If
their stated goal is to annihilate America and to annihilate Israel.
They're saying their policy is destroying 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
(06:54):
and Levin had a very interesting conversation two weeks ago
about out 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 guests is they had this exact conversation.
Speaker 6 (07:11):
Either of those Zudy 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, aren't
we really talking about the capacity to destroy some of
(07:35):
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
intercontinent ballistic missiles from hitting our country. They don't need
intercontinental ballistic missiles which they've developed to hit Israel. Those
are intermediary missiles. These intercontinental ballistic missiles are intended to
(07:59):
go seven thousand miles, twelve thousand miles, every number of
miles they need to go. Is they fully developed the
technology and so forth? Why should we sit back? Listen
to this cabal who said, don't worry about it. Don't
worry about it. Got the whole future mankind at stake here?
Speaker 7 (08:16):
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 3 (08:23):
But I will tell you.
Speaker 7 (08:24):
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
(08:46):
to Hamas to then basically allow a genocide against Israel
against the Jews and commit the Act of War of
October seventh, and then Israel has had to protect itself
since then because Iran funneled money to Hamas and used.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
That spark more wars.
Speaker 7 (09:01):
So ultimately, today President Trump is annihilating Hutis because they
are targeting our ships. So 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,
(09:22):
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 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
(09:42):
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 Iran was breaking, and now
it's going to break again as we reimpose maximum pressure
and it allow the revolutions to happen, and we can
step back. And just as long as you make sure
they don't have nuclear weapons.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
As long as we make sure they don't have nuclear weapons,
what a great idea.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
I look at what this president's doing right now.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
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 that stands up to
people and it usually works out to our advantage.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
Let me give you the breaking news.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
The United States and Ukraine have quote officially just signed
significant minerals agreements, marking a pivotal moment in their bilateral
relations and Ukraine's post war reconstruction efforts. That's the headline
they're going to have a joint investment fund. The deal
(10:49):
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.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
Elements, oil, and gas.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
This fund is designed to attract global investment support Ukraine's
economic recovery. While the US gains preferential access to Ukraine's
critical minerals, The agreement insures that Ukraine retains full control
over its resources. The US does not obtained automatic control
or rights over Ukraine's mineral or gas infrastructure. So again,
this is the present saying, hey, America is not going
(11:22):
to be on the hook for all this money we
keep giving you.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
If you think that you're.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
Going to just keep getting all this cash from.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
Us, you're wrong.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
Now what we will do is will do a mental
rights deal with you, which is good for our citizens
and your country. Here's the details which get Americans off
the hook.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
Financially for Ukraine. There's revenue sharing.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
Ukraine will contribute fifty percent of future revenues from state
owned mineral resources to the joint fund. 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 explicit US security
(12:03):
guarantees for Ukraine. However, Ukrainian officials view the economic partnership
as a step towards deeper strategic.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
Alignment with the US.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
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.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
That didn't work.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
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, has now worked.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
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 deal as quote
(12:56):
a balance and beneficial agreement, emphasizing its roll to unlocking
Ukraine's growth potential. The agreement 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 day for American taxpayer.
(13:16):
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 also think it
(13:37):
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,
you are wrong.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
Let me go back to this.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
I want to play for you Secretary of State Marco
review and what Marco Rivio 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 the
President sitting next to him in the cabinet room.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
Listen.
Speaker 8 (14:17):
But it's a great team. And here's the second. 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
we got in as a country as presidents would say, Okay,
let's go do something, and then they would have to
do a.
Speaker 4 (14:31):
Study, and then a study on the study, and then
a long internal deliberative.
Speaker 8 (14:35):
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 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'm talking
about foreign policy in particular because I don't show this
(14:56):
is fully appreciated. We have this president inherited years of
foreign policy that was built around what was good for
the world. In essence, the decisions we made as a
government in trade, in foreign policy was basically, is it
good for the world, Is it good for the global community.
And under President Trump, we're making a foreign policy. Now
that's was it good for America. I was appointed by
(15:18):
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
make America stronger, does make America safer?
Speaker 4 (15:36):
And does it make America richer.
Speaker 8 (15:37):
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. We
do up funding some crazy stuff, crazy stuff. Do you
tell me how does a puppet show in some country
(16:00):
around the world make us stronger, safe for a more
prosperous So we got rid of puppet shows and a
bunch of other things. 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 taxpayer 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.
Speaker 4 (16:21):
Mention the rest of them.
Speaker 8 (16:22):
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 to do what many of them
signed up to do. We have a great team of ambassadors,
you appointed. They're coming online every single day. Very talented people.
Very talented people are involved something else we got out
of the business.
Speaker 4 (16:40):
Why wasn't widely reported, or maybe it was we had
a department.
Speaker 8 (16:43):
We had an office in the Department of State whose
job it was to censor Americans.
Speaker 4 (16:48):
And by the way, I'm not going to say who
it is. I'll leave it up to them.
Speaker 8 (16:51):
There's at least one person at this table today who
had a dossier in that building, a social media posts
to identify them as purveyors of disinformation. We have these dossiers.
We are going to be turning those over to these individuals. Well,
we are going to turn over these dossiers to the
(17:11):
individuals and they'll decide whether they.
Speaker 4 (17:14):
Want to dispose it or not.
Speaker 8 (17:15):
But just think about the Department of State of the
United States had set up an office to monitor the
social media posts and commentary 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 will
(17:36):
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.
Speaker 4 (17:42):
To take back your people that are here illegally. And
we've had historic cooperation.
Speaker 8 (17:46):
Beyond that, and I say this unapologetically, we are actively
searching for other countries to take people from third countries.
So we are active, and I just tell 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 (18:01):
Will you do that as a favor to us?
Speaker 8 (18:02):
And the further away from America the better, so they
can't come back across the border.
Speaker 4 (18:06):
I'm not apologetic about it.
Speaker 8 (18:07):
We are doing that if 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.
Speaker 4 (18:15):
Here's something else we've done.
Speaker 8 (18:16):
We stopped giving student visas to people who are coming
here to burn down our universities and take over libraries
and harass people.
Speaker 4 (18:23):
Why are we.
Speaker 8 (18:24):
Giving student visas to people who are coming here to
create disruption? And we've taken away to student visas of
people that are come here to do that.
Speaker 4 (18:31):
It's simple.
Speaker 8 (18:32):
If you're coming to America to start riots, we're not
gonna give you.
Speaker 4 (18:36):
We're gonna take away your student visa.
Speaker 8 (18:37):
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.
Speaker 4 (18:44):
So the only people who seem to.
Speaker 8 (18:45):
Disagree with us are a handful of federal judges and
a bunch of crazy people who get paid to write
and report.
Speaker 4 (18:51):
So anyway, we're getting rid of that the last.
Speaker 8 (18:54):
But come now, here's some good news. You know, we're
gonna have the World Cup the FIFA World Cup, the
FIFA Club Cup.
Speaker 4 (19:03):
And then we're gonna have the Olympics. So we have
to have a consular affairs bureau.
Speaker 8 (19:07):
We have very good, talented people there, 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 who served in
Congress recognized it. About a year and a half ago.
We had a meltdown under Biden. You couldn't get a passport.
We have people calling I have a cruise on Friday,
my passport expires. In the month of March, we processed
(19:31):
two point seven eight million Americans they're passports. That is
the historic 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 acknowledged
Steve Woodcoff. This is a person that doesn't have to
(19:51):
be doing what he's doing. He has a very good
life in Miami, my hometown as well. He has worked
incredibly hard, has done it without any agenda.
Speaker 4 (20:00):
We need to acknowledge him.
Speaker 8 (20:01):
I want to acknowledge mister Bullo's as well, who did something.
Speaker 4 (20:04):
Really great last week. They told us.
Speaker 8 (20:06):
This war between the Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda
isn't intractable.
Speaker 4 (20:11):
It can never happen, it will never happen. I sent
mister Buloz, you're envoy a week later.
Speaker 8 (20:16):
I look on my schedule the signing of a declaration
of peace between the Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda.
Speaker 4 (20:22):
We signed it at the State Department last week.
Speaker 8 (20:24):
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 working on our teams as well, but
these are two great people.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
Let me just pause there.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
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 deal done which we
(20:57):
just announced here, whether it's the Secretary Ribio 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.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
We're getting rid of.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
Government waste and just abuse of your tax dollars going
out to all sorts of ridiculous things.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
This is, by the way, what I voted for.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
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.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
I think this president's made it clear.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
We are not going to allow for 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 4 (21:57):
I'm Mark Levi.
Speaker 5 (21:58):
I'm standing here yours in Jerusalem, Jerus Holy line for
Jews and Christians Wall was reached by the Romans and
the second tack was burning their grounds that the Jews survived.
That want to make something very very clear, a raining regime,
(22:18):
the Slamo Nazi terrorists, genocidal Regin who wants to.
Speaker 4 (22:22):
Get nuclear weapons.
Speaker 5 (22:24):
Dutri Continental ballistic myths shoot in America.
Speaker 4 (22:27):
One day to destroy this holy line for Jews.
Speaker 5 (22:31):
And christian Let me tell you, some of the folks,
we don't get second chances with maniacs like that. So
rather than them have nuclear bombs to attack us, why
are we protecting their nuclear sites from our bombs? Explain
that to me. So we're gonna have a deal. We're
gonna write it on paper, and they're gonna say, you know,
(22:54):
we're terrorists, we violate rules, we cut people's throats, but
we're gonna honor the deal. Though 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 regime and the regime after that.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
This cannot be tolerated.
Speaker 5 (23:12):
It's bad enough that communists have nuclear weapons, that fascists
have nuclear weapons, but there's not a terrorist country in
the face of the earth that has a nuclear weapon.
We must not usher it in. Look at this with
the Bible, to look at this and honor the men
and women who have died here. This cannot stand. And
I say that as an American who's concerned about what
(23:35):
happened on nine to eleven. And in other times when
we've been attacked by these Turists too. They're here, They're
in this part of the world, right here, and now
they're vulnerable. We're gonna wait till they nuclear weapons and
then bring our hands about it and say what are
we gonna do about it? I don't think so.
Speaker 4 (23:53):
America.
Speaker 5 (23:54):
It's time to speak out. It's time to rise up.
Stop the Uranian nukes. Now, it's the time.
Speaker 4 (24:01):
God bless you all.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
My see Mark at the Western Wall in Jerusalem warning
the world that Iran must never get nuclear weapons period
one eight seven, seven, three eight, one thirty eight eleven
one eight seven, seven, three eight one thirty eight eleven.
I want to get your phone calls in here. I
want to get your reaction to all of this. And
(24:24):
again this goes back to a core issue. The President
has made it clear the only solution is that Iran
is completely dismantling its program, and we should do it,
by the way, for him, for them, I should say,
because a nuclear Iran is a direct threat not just
to our friends in Middle East, not just to Israel,
(24:45):
not just to our allies over there, but to every American.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
Because they've stated.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
What they want to do Believe them when they tell
you they want to destroy you and kill you.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
Believe them.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
Iran's Crown Prince says he's right to lead the transition
to quote democracy after the military regime has removed from
power in Iran.
Speaker 3 (25:09):
This just hitting social media moments ago.
Speaker 9 (25:11):
Listen at the call of my compatriots, I have stepped
forward to lead the transition after the.
Speaker 3 (25:18):
Fall of the Islamic Republic.
Speaker 9 (25:27):
When I did so, I stepped forward not just to
lead Iran to democracy, but to lead its return to prosperity. Today,
with the unveiling 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,
(25:52):
and more prosperous than ever before.
Speaker 3 (25:55):
At the call of my compatriots.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
I mean you hear him there, the Iranian crown print.
He's basically saying, if you can shut off the money
and have the sanctions not be you know, worthless as
they were under the Biden Harrish regime, then you can
allow for the people to stand up to the regime
(26:19):
in Iran. Tom Cotton talking about this as well, the
Senator saying this about where we are now and what
has changed.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
Well, here, you're right about everything you just cited. That's
all open source information, and I believe the White House
has acknowledged it specifically in the region, to support our
strikes against outlaw rebels in Yemen who are simply another
terrorist proxy of Iran, and to deter Iran, and to
continue what the President calls the maximum pressure campaign. This
(26:49):
is 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 achieve that goal, and he's open to either meats.
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 an exact quote.
(27:11):
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 craze Ayatollahs in Iran have
nuclear weapon.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
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 they did?
(27:48):
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, the
(28:09):
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 weapon says, quote, death to
(28:32):
America is not just a slogan.
Speaker 3 (28:34):
It is a policy.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
Do I support military action if we have to to
bomb these sites?
Speaker 3 (28:40):
Hell? Yes?
Speaker 1 (28:43):
Do I believe that you could ever trust Iran with
a nuclear weapon?
Speaker 4 (28:48):
No?
Speaker 3 (28:49):
I do not.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
Now the media is going to tell you that this
policy that I just described, this policy of 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. Jdie Vance a warmonger. They're gonna say that
Marco Rubio is a warmonger. Because all of these people
(29:15):
are in favor of holding I Ran 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, do you
remember what the left said when you were the killing
of Solimani, the commander of Iran's most elite military unit.
Speaker 3 (29:35):
Do you remember what he's? What they said?
Speaker 1 (29:37):
They said that Donald Trump was going to get us
into quote war war Iree.
Speaker 3 (29:42):
Do you remember that?
Speaker 4 (29:43):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (29:44):
I guess what. That didn't happen. They were lying to
you then, and they will lie to you this time.
Don't forget.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
Share this podcast with your family and friends, share it
on social media, please, and I'll see you back here.
Speaker 3 (29:56):
Tomorrow,
Do you believe that Iran should be able to have
a nuclear weapon?
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Now?
Speaker 1 (00:07):
I asked that question in the context of the latest
news coming out of Iran, Iran Supreme leader on obtaining
a nuclear weapon or nuclear weapons plural.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
I want you to understand what he said.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
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 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,
(00:45):
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.
It's a terrorism regime. More important that we protect our
country from their nuclear bombs, then we protect their nuclear
(01:06):
sites from our bombs.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
There are no second chances. Now, I go back to
the core of what.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
I've been saying about Iran in their nuclear program for
a long time. When they tell you they want to
wipe you off the face of the earth, you might
want to believe them.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
When the Rand.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
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.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
To the sea.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Believe them, 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.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
This is the exact words.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
It's going to be translated, so not to 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.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
Let that sink in. That was statement one.
Speaker 4 (02:15):
He said.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
I have stated the reasons previously for many years, from
the nineteen forties to the seventies, that is thirty years,
he said.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Thirty years.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
The Americans did everything they could to go against the
Iranian policy. They hit Iran anyway they could financially, economically, politically, scientifically,
and morally.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
Now he's saying this in front of everybody in.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Iran on TV there just so you understand, if it
were not for American support, if it were not for
the support of US weapons. He goes on to say,
the corrupt and artificial Zionist regime would have destroyed in
the first week. Pretty interesting for the guys in charge Iran.
It would have collapsed. The Americans are behind this. Now
(03:09):
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 the
question why would anyone want Iran to have nuclear weapons?
(03:33):
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 (03:44):
I want them not to have an OCLU weapon.
Speaker 5 (03:45):
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 (03:54):
Now there's people that say that's radical, that that's an
extreme viewpoint, asking for trouble.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
All right, So let's go back and.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
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 fifteen rand nuclear deal,
which was again done by Biden and Obama. And that
(04:23):
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.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
Like you wouldn't believe.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
It gave them a lot of money, which helped them
get to where they're this close to a nuclear weapon.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
Now.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Now, 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
(05:00):
of Iranian General Solmani in twenty twenty, which signaled a
strong deterrent stance. These actions were credited by some analysts
and allies as preventing Iran from openly accelerating its nuclear
weapons development during the Trump administration his first term in office.
Now you look at Iran's response, okay. Iran's response to
(05:21):
Trump's pressure campaign was met with obviously 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.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
They weren't helping.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
People, you know, carry out the attacks on Israel. For example,
Iran was behind that and helped with the training and
the funding of the attack on Israel.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
We know that. Would they have done that if Trump
was present?
Speaker 1 (05:54):
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 of this
is evidence that Trump's hard line approach was effective in
deterring more severe provocations, or really another way of putting
it as nuclear advancements all together. Now you look at
(06:15):
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 you can't do?
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Right? Who are we to tell them?
Speaker 1 (06:34):
I look at this and I'm like, what insane person
would believe that a Ran should have nuclear weapons? If
their stated goal is to annihilate America and to annihilate Israel.
They're saying their policy is destroying 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
(06:54):
and Levin had a very interesting conversation two weeks ago
about out 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 guests is they had this exact conversation.
Speaker 6 (07:11):
Either of those Zudy 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, aren't
we really talking about the capacity to destroy some of
(07:35):
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
intercontinent ballistic missiles from hitting our country. They don't need
intercontinental ballistic missiles which they've developed to hit Israel. Those
are intermediary missiles. These intercontinental ballistic missiles are intended to
(07:59):
go seven thousand miles, twelve thousand miles, every number of
miles they need to go. Is they fully developed the
technology and so forth? Why should we sit back? Listen
to this cabal who said, don't worry about it. Don't
worry about it. Got the whole future mankind at stake here?
Speaker 7 (08:16):
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 3 (08:23):
But I will tell you.
Speaker 7 (08:24):
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
(08:46):
to Hamas to then basically allow a genocide against Israel
against the Jews and commit the Act of War of
October seventh, and then Israel has had to protect itself
since then because Iran funneled money to Hamas and used.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
That spark more wars.
Speaker 7 (09:01):
So ultimately, today President Trump is annihilating Hutis because they
are targeting our ships. So 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,
(09:22):
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 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
(09:42):
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 Iran was breaking, and now
it's going to break again as we reimpose maximum pressure
and it allow the revolutions to happen, and we can
step back. And just as long as you make sure
they don't have nuclear weapons.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
As long as we make sure they don't have nuclear weapons,
what a great idea.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
I look at what this president's doing right now.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
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 that stands up to
people and it usually works out to our advantage.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
Let me give you the breaking news.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
The United States and Ukraine have quote officially just signed
significant minerals agreements, marking a pivotal moment in their bilateral
relations and Ukraine's post war reconstruction efforts. That's the headline
they're going to have a joint investment fund. The deal
(10:49):
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.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
Elements, oil, and gas.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
This fund is designed to attract global investment support Ukraine's
economic recovery. While the US gains preferential access to Ukraine's
critical minerals, The agreement insures that Ukraine retains full control
over its resources. The US does not obtained automatic control
or rights over Ukraine's mineral or gas infrastructure. So again,
this is the present saying, hey, America is not going
(11:22):
to be on the hook for all this money we
keep giving you.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
If you think that you're.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
Going to just keep getting all this cash from.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
Us, you're wrong.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
Now what we will do is will do a mental
rights deal with you, which is good for our citizens
and your country. Here's the details which get Americans off
the hook.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
Financially for Ukraine. There's revenue sharing.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
Ukraine will contribute fifty percent of future revenues from state
owned mineral resources to the joint fund. 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 explicit US security
(12:03):
guarantees for Ukraine. However, Ukrainian officials view the economic partnership
as a step towards deeper strategic.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
Alignment with the US.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
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.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
That didn't work.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
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, has now worked.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
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 deal as quote
(12:56):
a balance and beneficial agreement, emphasizing its roll to unlocking
Ukraine's growth potential. The agreement 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 day for American taxpayer.
(13:16):
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 also think it
(13:37):
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,
you are wrong.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
Let me go back to this.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
I want to play for you Secretary of State Marco
review and what Marco Rivio 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 the
President sitting next to him in the cabinet room.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
Listen.
Speaker 8 (14:17):
But it's a great team. And here's the second. 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
we got in as a country as presidents would say, Okay,
let's go do something, and then they would have to
do a.
Speaker 4 (14:31):
Study, and then a study on the study, and then
a long internal deliberative.
Speaker 8 (14:35):
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 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'm talking
about foreign policy in particular because I don't show this
(14:56):
is fully appreciated. We have this president inherited years of
foreign policy that was built around what was good for
the world. In essence, the decisions we made as a
government in trade, in foreign policy was basically, is it
good for the world, Is it good for the global community.
And under President Trump, we're making a foreign policy. Now
that's was it good for America. I was appointed by
(15:18):
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
make America stronger, does make America safer?
Speaker 4 (15:36):
And does it make America richer.
Speaker 8 (15:37):
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. We
do up funding some crazy stuff, crazy stuff. Do you
tell me how does a puppet show in some country
(16:00):
around the world make us stronger, safe for a more
prosperous So we got rid of puppet shows and a
bunch of other things. 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 taxpayer 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.
Speaker 4 (16:21):
Mention the rest of them.
Speaker 8 (16:22):
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 to do what many of them
signed up to do. We have a great team of ambassadors,
you appointed. They're coming online every single day. Very talented people.
Very talented people are involved something else we got out
of the business.
Speaker 4 (16:40):
Why wasn't widely reported, or maybe it was we had
a department.
Speaker 8 (16:43):
We had an office in the Department of State whose
job it was to censor Americans.
Speaker 4 (16:48):
And by the way, I'm not going to say who
it is. I'll leave it up to them.
Speaker 8 (16:51):
There's at least one person at this table today who
had a dossier in that building, a social media posts
to identify them as purveyors of disinformation. We have these dossiers.
We are going to be turning those over to these individuals. Well,
we are going to turn over these dossiers to the
(17:11):
individuals and they'll decide whether they.
Speaker 4 (17:14):
Want to dispose it or not.
Speaker 8 (17:15):
But just think about the Department of State of the
United States had set up an office to monitor the
social media posts and commentary 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 will
(17:36):
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.
Speaker 4 (17:42):
To take back your people that are here illegally. And
we've had historic cooperation.
Speaker 8 (17:46):
Beyond that, and I say this unapologetically, we are actively
searching for other countries to take people from third countries.
So we are active, and I just tell 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 (18:01):
Will you do that as a favor to us?
Speaker 8 (18:02):
And the further away from America the better, so they
can't come back across the border.
Speaker 4 (18:06):
I'm not apologetic about it.
Speaker 8 (18:07):
We are doing that if 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.
Speaker 4 (18:15):
Here's something else we've done.
Speaker 8 (18:16):
We stopped giving student visas to people who are coming
here to burn down our universities and take over libraries
and harass people.
Speaker 4 (18:23):
Why are we.
Speaker 8 (18:24):
Giving student visas to people who are coming here to
create disruption? And we've taken away to student visas of
people that are come here to do that.
Speaker 4 (18:31):
It's simple.
Speaker 8 (18:32):
If you're coming to America to start riots, we're not
gonna give you.
Speaker 4 (18:36):
We're gonna take away your student visa.
Speaker 8 (18:37):
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.
Speaker 4 (18:44):
So the only people who seem to.
Speaker 8 (18:45):
Disagree with us are a handful of federal judges and
a bunch of crazy people who get paid to write
and report.
Speaker 4 (18:51):
So anyway, we're getting rid of that the last.
Speaker 8 (18:54):
But come now, here's some good news. You know, we're
gonna have the World Cup the FIFA World Cup, the
FIFA Club Cup.
Speaker 4 (19:03):
And then we're gonna have the Olympics. So we have
to have a consular affairs bureau.
Speaker 8 (19:07):
We have very good, talented people there, 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 who served in
Congress recognized it. About a year and a half ago.
We had a meltdown under Biden. You couldn't get a passport.
We have people calling I have a cruise on Friday,
my passport expires. In the month of March, we processed
(19:31):
two point seven eight million Americans they're passports. That is
the historic 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 acknowledged
Steve Woodcoff. This is a person that doesn't have to
(19:51):
be doing what he's doing. He has a very good
life in Miami, my hometown as well. He has worked
incredibly hard, has done it without any agenda.
Speaker 4 (20:00):
We need to acknowledge him.
Speaker 8 (20:01):
I want to acknowledge mister Bullo's as well, who did something.
Speaker 4 (20:04):
Really great last week. They told us.
Speaker 8 (20:06):
This war between the Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda
isn't intractable.
Speaker 4 (20:11):
It can never happen, it will never happen. I sent
mister Buloz, you're envoy a week later.
Speaker 8 (20:16):
I look on my schedule the signing of a declaration
of peace between the Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda.
Speaker 4 (20:22):
We signed it at the State Department last week.
Speaker 8 (20:24):
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 working on our teams as well, but
these are two great people.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
Let me just pause there.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
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 deal done which we
(20:57):
just announced here, whether it's the Secretary Ribio 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.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
We're getting rid of.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
Government waste and just abuse of your tax dollars going
out to all sorts of ridiculous things.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
This is, by the way, what I voted for.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
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.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
I think this president's made it clear.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
We are not going to allow for 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 4 (21:57):
I'm Mark Levi.
Speaker 5 (21:58):
I'm standing here yours in Jerusalem, Jerus Holy line for
Jews and Christians Wall was reached by the Romans and
the second tack was burning their grounds that the Jews survived.
That want to make something very very clear, a raining regime,
(22:18):
the Slamo Nazi terrorists, genocidal Regin who wants to.
Speaker 4 (22:22):
Get nuclear weapons.
Speaker 5 (22:24):
Dutri Continental ballistic myths shoot in America.
Speaker 4 (22:27):
One day to destroy this holy line for Jews.
Speaker 5 (22:31):
And christian Let me tell you, some of the folks,
we don't get second chances with maniacs like that. So
rather than them have nuclear bombs to attack us, why
are we protecting their nuclear sites from our bombs? Explain
that to me. So we're gonna have a deal. We're
gonna write it on paper, and they're gonna say, you know,
(22:54):
we're terrorists, we violate rules, we cut people's throats, but
we're gonna honor the deal. Though 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 regime and the regime after that.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
This cannot be tolerated.
Speaker 5 (23:12):
It's bad enough that communists have nuclear weapons, that fascists
have nuclear weapons, but there's not a terrorist country in
the face of the earth that has a nuclear weapon.
We must not usher it in. Look at this with
the Bible, to look at this and honor the men
and women who have died here. This cannot stand. And
I say that as an American who's concerned about what
(23:35):
happened on nine to eleven. And in other times when
we've been attacked by these Turists too. They're here, They're
in this part of the world, right here, and now
they're vulnerable. We're gonna wait till they nuclear weapons and
then bring our hands about it and say what are
we gonna do about it? I don't think so.
Speaker 4 (23:53):
America.
Speaker 5 (23:54):
It's time to speak out. It's time to rise up.
Stop the Uranian nukes. Now, it's the time.
Speaker 4 (24:01):
God bless you all.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
My see Mark at the Western Wall in Jerusalem warning
the world that Iran must never get nuclear weapons period
one eight seven, seven, three eight, one thirty eight eleven
one eight seven, seven, three eight one thirty eight eleven.
I want to get your phone calls in here. I
want to get your reaction to all of this. And
(24:24):
again this goes back to a core issue. The President
has made it clear the only solution is that Iran
is completely dismantling its program, and we should do it,
by the way, for him, for them, I should say,
because a nuclear Iran is a direct threat not just
to our friends in Middle East, not just to Israel,
(24:45):
not just to our allies over there, but to every American.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
Because they've stated.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
What they want to do Believe them when they tell
you they want to destroy you and kill you.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
Believe them.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
Iran's Crown Prince says he's right to lead the transition
to quote democracy after the military regime has removed from
power in Iran.
Speaker 3 (25:09):
This just hitting social media moments ago.
Speaker 9 (25:11):
Listen at the call of my compatriots, I have stepped
forward to lead the transition after the.
Speaker 3 (25:18):
Fall of the Islamic Republic.
Speaker 9 (25:27):
When I did so, I stepped forward not just to
lead Iran to democracy, but to lead its return to prosperity. Today,
with the unveiling 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,
(25:52):
and more prosperous than ever before.
Speaker 3 (25:55):
At the call of my compatriots.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
I mean you hear him there, the Iranian crown print.
He's basically saying, if you can shut off the money
and have the sanctions not be you know, worthless as
they were under the Biden Harrish regime, then you can
allow for the people to stand up to the regime
(26:19):
in Iran. Tom Cotton talking about this as well, the
Senator saying this about where we are now and what
has changed.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
Well, here, you're right about everything you just cited. That's
all open source information, and I believe the White House
has acknowledged it specifically in the region, to support our
strikes against outlaw rebels in Yemen who are simply another
terrorist proxy of Iran, and to deter Iran, and to
continue what the President calls the maximum pressure campaign. This
(26:49):
is 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 achieve that goal, and he's open to either meats.
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 an exact quote.
(27:11):
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 craze Ayatollahs in Iran have
nuclear weapon.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
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 they did?
(27:48):
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, the
(28:09):
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 weapon says, quote, death to
(28:32):
America is not just a slogan.
Speaker 3 (28:34):
It is a policy.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
Do I support military action if we have to to
bomb these sites?
Speaker 3 (28:40):
Hell? Yes?
Speaker 1 (28:43):
Do I believe that you could ever trust Iran with
a nuclear weapon?
Speaker 4 (28:48):
No?
Speaker 3 (28:49):
I do not.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
Now the media is going to tell you that this
policy that I just described, this policy of 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. Jdie Vance a warmonger. They're gonna say that
Marco Rubio is a warmonger. Because all of these people
(29:15):
are in favor of holding I Ran 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, do you
remember what the left said when you were the killing
of Solimani, the commander of Iran's most elite military unit.
Speaker 3 (29:35):
Do you remember what he's? What they said?
Speaker 1 (29:37):
They said that Donald Trump was going to get us
into quote war war Iree.
Speaker 3 (29:42):
Do you remember that?
Speaker 4 (29:43):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (29:44):
I guess what. That didn't happen. They were lying to
you then, and they will lie to you this time.
Don't forget.
