Iran has until TOMORROW..

Let's watch it. Uh they have till tomorrow now. We'll see what happens. I can tell you they're negotiating, we think, in good faith. We're going to find out. We're getting the help of some incredible countries that want this to be ended because it affects them. Also, a lot of people are affected by this. But we're giving them uh we're giving them till tomorrow 8:00 Eastern time. And after calling the shots, they're going to have no bridges. Let them know they're going to have no power plants. Oh, stone ages. Yeah, stone. Stone ages. That's what they said. Negotiation. CNN figures. Are you willing to make a deal that does not include reopening the straight of Hormuz or is that now a top priority? I would say it's a very big priority because I mean, he's not going to say a red line, but that's one thing that's a little different than other. We can bomb the hell out of him. We can knock him out for a loop. But to close the straight, all you need is one terrorist that somehow you got to get a guy with a rock with because you can carry them in trucks, large trucks. Yeah. A water mine. Drop them in the water. And now you tell people that own ships that cost a billion dollars to don't worry about the mine. You can do that even just by saying we put mines in the water. So it's not like the rest. We can knock out their military. We already have. We've knocked out their navy. We've knocked out their air force completely. Knocked out 158 ships in 3 days. That's a lot of ships. We've knocked out even their mind droppers. They don't have droppers anymore, but they put them on other boats and they could drop them. I'm not even sure they have any minds, by the way. I'm not sure. I don't I'm person I don't know. I don't know. I think there might be none. I didn't I don't know. Uh because they're very good [ __ ] artists. That's why for 47 years they've been bullshitting other presidents and they haven't done the job and people are living in hell. You live in that country, they're living in hell. No, I think that uh 47 years of this stuff is long enough. They're at the weakest point they've ever been. They have no navy. They have no air force. They have no anti-aircraft. It's pretty bad weaponry. They have no radar. They have no communication. In fact, the biggest problem we have in our negotiation is that they can't communicate. I said to Steve, "What are they saying?" Sir, they can't communicate. They have no method of communication. Good job. So, we're doing We're communicating like they used to communicate 2,000 years ago with children bringing a note back and forth. I thought pigeons. They have no communication. Do they have pigeons over there? But all I want to see is I want to have a safe world. And you're not going to have a safe world. Israel will be gone. the Middle East will be gone and then they're coming for Europe. And I have to tell you, I'm very disappointed in NATO. Very. I think that NATO I think it's a mark on NATO that will never disappear. Never disappear in my mind. You know, they're coming to see me on Wednesday. They're going to say, "Oh, we'll do this. We'll do that." Now, they all of a sudden want to send things, you know, but they said it loud and clear at the beginning when I spoke to UK of all. I would have said they would have been there first because they've been they're the oldest. And I said, "Yeah, I'd love to have a little help." He said, "No, sir. We'd rather wait till you win." I said, "I don't need help after we win. They have two old broken aircraft carriers barely work." I said, "I guess we can use them. Who the hell knows?" I called the general. He didn't even want. He said, "We don't really need them. We got We got the SS Abraham Lincoln, sir. We don't need them. Do you know we have in terms of technology we had one day 101 missiles going at,700 miles an hour aimed at the Abraham Lincoln 101 missiles out of 101 missiles 101 missiles were shot down unbelievable 10 years ago 5 years ago I don't know if that would have been possible but 10 years ago that wouldn't have been they got the [ __ ] beams and the lasers and [ __ ] Uh 101 missiles to a ship. You hear that? That's not that far off the coast. The lasers. This is a question about a piece of 101 missiles. We shot down all 101. We have weaponry. Uh the Patriots are unbelievable. We That's unbelievable. Yeah. Go ahead, please. Thank you, Mr. President. Um, you said earlier today during the egg roll that you would like to take Iran's oil, but Americans want US forces home. Correct. What's that trade-off? If I had my choice if I had my choice. Yeah, cuz I'm a businessman first with Venezuela. As you know, the war was over in about 45 minutes. That was a fast one. And we have great people running Venezuela. Very good people. I mean, the relationship is good. And we are a partner with Venezuela. And we've taken hundreds of millions of barrels. I wonder what changed over 100 million barrels already is in Houston refined and out, right? And paid paid for that war many many times over. Many times you know the old days to the victim go the spoils. Okay, you know that to the uh to the winner belong the spoils. Go the spoils. And I've said why don't we use it to the victor. go the spoils and we don't have that. We haven't had that in this country emped rebuild all those countries. We rebuilt Germany. How about Germany telling us Germany telling us that uh well it's not their war. We had nothing to do with getting They wanted me to tell them everything I was doing. We didn't know anything about it. Well, if I would have told them, they would have leaked it and we wouldn't have been nearly as successful possibly, right? But to the victims, we haven't heard we haven't heard that in I think maybe hundreds of years. Mhm. Now with Venezuela, he just says the people of Venezuela, they say if I ran for president of Venezuela, I'm polling higher than anybody has ever pled in Venezuela. So after I'm finished with this, I can go to Venezuela. I will quickly learn Spanish. It won't take too long. I'm good at language. And I will go to Venezuela. I'm going to run for president. But we're very happy with the president-elect that we have right now. The the the people that are running it. Oh god. If you remember Bush in Iraq. Oh man. They fired the generals. They fired the police. They fired the people that worked in there, Equivalent of the White House. They fired everybody. And you know what they had? They had a mess. And you know what happened? ISIS formed. those generals and those soldiers got together, the police got together, they all got together, they formed ISIS. Not going to happen with us. So, uh, Venezuela has been an incredible, it's been an incredible situation. We went in, we were very successful military power like nobody's ever seen. The general uh, Venezuelan general said, "I was on that site." I said, "I've never seen ferocity like that. I've been doing this for 40 years." He said, "I've never seen it." They they hit us from 17 different it was they were all set. They saw that big hits aircraft carrier the Ford in that case a big one and planes were pouring off president. So typically when you see that late at night you know you could be in trouble. Right. And we were all ready. They had their equipment. It was Russian and they had Chinese equipment. It was all set. They were going to be the sh of Iran. Yeah. He said, "And then they came and they came at speeds like we've never seen. And they came at 17 different angles, the general and his people." That was a lot of angles. They hit him from every angle. He said, "We knew it was over, right?" In 3 minutes, we were waiting for them. Their equipment didn't work. And there's a reason it didn't work. Someday we'll explain that to people. They pressed the button, nothing happened. They pressed it again and again, nothing happened. So they just so he turned it off and he said we knew this whole thing was over in 3 minutes. We've never seen any he used the word ferocity. The ferocity of these planes from 17 different angles and it was over. They went inside and remember that was on a military base with thousands of soldiers. And those soldiers looked and they said, "Get the hell out of here." Thousands. We didn't have thousands. We had like 200 people. So we have ran away military. I mean, I saw I tell you what, somehow this rescue captured the world's attention more so than normally you're talking about two people. Uhhuh. But this yesterday captured the world's attention. But we did it in Venezuela. That was amazing. And now we have a very bad man in prison and going to trial. Oh, Maduro. He released, aside from the drugs, which he was terrible, Maduro released hundreds of thousands of people from jails into our country, the nuts, drug dealers, murderers, the worst people in the world were released into our country because we had a stupid president who who probably didn't know. And we had a borders who never went to the border and never once called our great border patrol agents. Right. Not once, Kamla. She never called the border patrol. She never said, "How are we doing?" I used to call the border patrol guys every day. You can ask them. Ask any one of them. What are you talking about, Brandon? Ask them all the time. How are we doing? How are we doing? And we now, proud to say, have a totally sealed border. Nine months, nobody is coming through and nobody even tries because they know they're not going to get through. So, we don't have caravans anymore. Yeah. Maybe one or two more and we'll be done. Mr. President, are are you allowed to are you willing to end this conflict with Iran charging tolls for passage through the street? Uh us charging tolls. Iran. What about us charging tolls? Is that something you're considering? I'd rather do that than let them have them, right? Why shouldn't we? We're the winner. We won. Okay. They are militarily defeated. The only thing they have is the psychology of drop a couple of mines in the water. All right. Okay. I mean, we have a concept where we'll charge tolls. Okay. I think you your question your question would your question would have been more accurate if you said just to clarify in order for Iran to successfully meet your deadline tomorrow. Do they have to make a deal, open the straight or both? We have to have a deal that's acceptable to make. And part of that deal is going to be we want free traffic of oil and everything else. So now there's going to be the captain. Now you've said glory be to God in this conflict. Do you believe that God supports the United States actions in this? I do because God is good because God is good and God wants to see people taken care of. God doesn't like what's happening. I don't like what's happening. Everyone says I enjoy I don't enjoy this. I don't enjoy it. These two guys don't enjoy it. You know, people say, "Oh, boy, they're so tough." They don't want They don't like I don't like seeing people killed. I've ended eight wars. Nobody's ever done it. The person who won the Nobel Prize came to me and said, "You deserve the Nobel Prize." She announced that when they announced, they said, "Yeah, the lady from Venezuela goes to Maria. She's great person. Really a good person." She said, "No, no, no. This is ridiculous. They gave me the Nobel Prize. President Trump aimed at eight wars. I could go over every one of them. God wants India and Pakistan. He just told you when the prime minister of Pakistan said President Trump, he literally just said it saved from 30 to 50 million lives. That makes me much happier than what we're doing right now. That makes me much happier. We have one more to end, by the way. No, no, no. Mr. President, um, you called the yesterday in your truth social, you called the Iranians crazy bastards. True. Um, what is your response to critics who say that I don't care about critics. What is your response to critics who say that is your mental health that should perhaps be examined as this war continues? I haven't heard that, but if that's the case, you're going to have to have more people like me because our country was being ripped off on trade or on mil everything for many years until I came along. True. So if that's the case, you're going to have to have more people. Dasha, when you said that very little is off limits in Iran as far as targeting, including power plants, bridges. You've mentioned those. Very little is off. Are there certain kinds of civilian targets though? I'm thinking that you I don't want to tell you that we have we have a plan because of the power of our military. We can do whatever the [ __ ] we want in Iran will be decimated by 12:00 tomorrow night where every power plant in Iran will be out of business, burning, exploding and never to be used again. I mean complete demolition by 12:00 and it'll happen over a period of 4 hours if we wanted to. We don't want that to happen. We may even get involved with helping them rebuild their nation. And you know what? If that's the case, the last thing we want to do is start with power plants, which are among the most expensive thing and bridges. You saw the bridge, the bridge one, okay, we were very close to a deal. And then I got a call from Mr. Witco, Mr. Kushner, and JD. Saying, I think they're breaking the deal. I said, tell them that's okay. Don't worry about it, but tell them to look out their window and watch. And within 45 minutes, I gave the order to knock out the biggest bridge. I gave the order knock out the biggest bridge in I believe the Middle East, but the biggest bridge in Iran just blow it up. And within 10 minutes after I gave that order, that bridge was was gone. Was over. So So do I want to do that? No. Do I want to destroy their infrastructure? No. It will take them a hundred years to rebuild right now. If we left today, it would take them 20 years to rebuild their country, and it would never be as good as it was. And the only way they're going to be able to rebuild their country is to utilize the genius of the United States of America. Mr. President, on you voiced your displeasure uh with NATO in the past. Is there a danger to the US not being the de facto of the leader of the alliance and then other powers within the alliance then getting the decision making when it comes to wars and nuclear weapons? No, it's not a danger. NATO's look, we went to NATO. I didn't ask very strongly. I just said, "Hey, if you want to help, great. No, no, no. We will not help." I said, "That's all right. You don't want to help? You don't ask?" Because I've always said NATO's a paper tiger. Uh oh. See, NATO is a paper tiger. Putin's not afraid of NATO. Putin's afraid of us. Very afraid of us. Uhoh. And he's explained it to me a lot of times. I got to know him very well. I know him very well. Uh NATO is a paper tiger. NATO is us. And when we needed them, we didn't need them, by the way. Where were they? What happened? Obviously, they haven't helped at all. Just the opposite. They've actually gone out of their way not to help. They didn't even want to give us landing strips. Think of it. And it's not just NATO. You know who else didn't help us? South Korea didn't help us. You know who else didn't help us? Australia didn't help us. You know who else didn't help us? JAPAN. WE'VE GOT 50,000 soldiers in Japan. Oh my god. To protect them from North Korea. We have ridiculous 45,000 soldiers in South Korea to protect us from Kim Jong-un, who I get along with very well, as you know. Do you notice? He said nice things about me. He used to call uh Joe Biden a mentally [ __ ] person. Okay. So, don't tell me about your stuff. Joe Biden, he said he's a mentally [ __ ] person. He was so nasty to Joe Biden. It was terrible. But to me, he likes Trump. And do you notice how nice things are with North Kush? Very nice. Well, like he going to say 45,000 people. He's going to say it in harm's way in right next to Kim Jong-un with a lot of nuclear call [ __ ] 45 what should have never happened. Yeah. If a certain president, I'm not going to mention this president because I happen to like him, believe it or not, but if a certain president did his job, Kim Jong-un would not have nuclear weapons right now. But they were all afraid to do their job properly. Bro, Bill, just to conclude and just to finish, really, Japan didn't help us. Australia didn't help us. South Korea didn't help us. And then you get to NATO. NATO didn't help us. There were some countries that did. Now, countries that have been good. Now, you could also say they're got to be a little bit more involved because they're in the territory. But Saudi Arabia has been excellent. Qatar has been excellent. They have been. UAE has been excellent. Bahrain, Kuwait. I mean, Kuwait did shoot down three of our planes. The only planes really that we lost it with friendly fire. They call it I call it unfriendly fire. They unfortunately didn't know how to use our our great patriots. Oops. The pilot said, "What kind of a missile coming at uses?" Boom. They got out. It was an accident, too. Because they know Patriot never misses. So, they had beautiful Patriots. There were planes heading in their direction. Unfortunately, they decided to shoot those plane. They were our planes. So, you can't win them all, right? No. NATO is a paper tiger. Now, he's coming to see me on Wednesday, as you know. He's a wonderful guy. Secretary General is great. Oh, and Mark Rutah, he's a great person, but he's got and you know, it all began with if you want to know the truth, Greenland. We want Greenland. They don't want to give it to us. And I said, all about Green. Byebye. Okay. Thank you very much everybody. Rising gas prices for Americans who are concerned. Absolute [ __ ] cinema. Yeah. Oh my [ __ ] god. Wow. Holy [ __ ] He drops the Greenland cliffhanger, bro. Yeah. It's like it's a movie or something. Oh my god. And uh Yeah. Wow. The media is losing their minds. Of course they are. They're going to say whatever they want. This is insane. Oh my [ __ ] god. Uh well um I guess that's that's what happened. Oh wow. Okay. Well, real question. Do radars have friendly fire mode? I don't know how it works. I mean, who the [ __ ] knows? So 12:00 tomorrow. So the big one is going to be 12:00 tomorrow. That's when Trump decides if he's going to bull up Iran or not. And that's going to be it. I mean, I don't know. We're in a simulation. Trump loves [ __ ] with the media. Yeah. I'll look at some of the other highlights from this that I missed out on, right? Cuz obviously I didn't see the entire thing, but uh you know, there's been a whole lot more of it and let me go and see this. And uh will you be on early for it? Um I don't know. I mean, I'm not sure. I have no idea whether it's going to be Hassan's account bought. I saw something. I'll look at that later on. But anyway, uh is he have intelligence limited? Oh, it's another guy that got deleted as well. What a surprise. So, uh Israel will decide if they want to blow up Iran or not. Well, I don't know. I mean, either way, we watched the whole conference. It's gold even from Trump's part two. What is this? Was it even even more insane? Let me see. I can pull it up. I know Eric Dore usually has a lot of the highlights of this, right? So, I can just find it from there. And uh let me scroll all the way down. Let me go ahead and I'll just close that. Don't worry about it. All right. We'll look at all the highlights of this because obviously I missed out on it. I didn't see everything, but we'll go through the rest of it. The White House briefing room is filled to the brim for President Trump's blockbuster military press conference. Oh boy. And is this is this it? Let me let me go and see if I can find it. I think I think this is It's a great honor to be with you. Happy Easter. We had a great Easter. This is one of our better Easter, I think, in a lot of different ways. There's never been an Easter like it before. This is the best Easter. Say militarily. That's right. It's been one of the best. Uh-huh. Military. So, militarily, this has been one of our best eers, man. You know what? I think he's right. Good afternoon. We have quite a bit to discuss. We'll go into good detail. Definitely a quote. Yeah. Oh my god. Okay. Uh the airman behind the military is largest, most complex. And we're here today to celebrate the success of one of the largest, most complex, most harrowing combat searches. Yeah. The best Passover, as you would call it, a search and rescue mission ever attempted by the military. Yeah. Generally, when planes are knocked down in war, especially when you're fighting a strong group, an evil group, you can't really do this because you send in 200 men to pick up one and it's something that's usually not attempted as much as you want to attempt. Sure. And bad things happen to that one or two. And in this case, we did two and might not have been attempting. We got we had great talent. We got a lot of I would say and uh we were helped by a lot of people, a lot of great people. Uh-huh. And it was an honor to be involved with it. Well, great. This is the guy they got back, right? Obviously. And uh the entire country. Oh, wait. What is this? American F-15 fighter jet went down deep inside enemy territory in Iran while participating in Operation Epic Fury where we're doing unbelievably well. Well, at a level that nobody's ever seen before. Nobody's seen it. Nobody. The entire country can be taken out in one night and that night might be tomorrow night. So, tomorrow could be the big day. It could be the end. Okay. Both members of the crew ejected from the aircraft and landed alive. American F-15 fighter jet went down deep inside enemy territory. Wow. Um Okay. Well, I mean like I I I believe it when I see it. I don't know whether that's going to happen. Oh, here we authorities. This is about the guy that got almost got on top of everything else that we got out yesterday. They told the communities actually with inside of Iran, the people of Iran, they were given a tremendous incentive to find this pilot. Despite the peril, the officer followed his training and climbed into the treacherous mountain terrain and started climbing toward a higher altitude, something they were trained to do in order to evade capture. Better signal. Uh they want to always go as far away from the site of the shootown. You want to go as far away because they all head right to that site. You want to be as far away as you can. and he was injured and he was an amazing amazing thing. He scaled cliff faces, bleeding rather profusely, treated his own wounds and contacted American forces to transmit his location. They have a very sophisticated beeper type apparatus. Just beeps right on them at all times. And when they when they go out on these missions, they make sure they have lots of battery space and they're in good shape. A great And this one worked really well. Amazingly saved his life. We immediately mobilized a massive operation to retrieve him from the mountain hold out and he kept going higher and higher. The mountain kept getting rougher and rougher. Yeah, I bet. Really very very hard to find. Was behind enemy lines. Yeah. The second rescue mission involved 155 aircraft, including four bombers, 64 fighters, 48 refueling tankers, 13 rescue aircraft, and more. We were bringing them all over. And a lot of it was just to mo them. God damn, bro. He just brought in everybody. Yeah. Just to let them know like you think you're going to [ __ ] around. What is this? We were bringing them all over and a lot of it was subtrauge. We wanted to have them think he was in a different location. Because they had a vast military force out there. Thousands thousands of people were looking. She was blowing them up at that time. So we wanted them to look in different areas. So we were Big Macs. Scouted all over like we were right on top of millions of Big Macs. We had seven different locations where they thought and they were very confused. They said, "Well, wait a minute. They've got groups here. They've got groups there. It's an amazing thing. I was listening to these great people, these great generals. General Raisin Kane was amazing. Pete Hexth was amazing. But I listened to the whole thing. It was pretty amazing. So they had all these different sites where everybody thought he was located. We think we have them over there because they have nine planes circling a little area that's Yeah, sure. 25 miles down the coast. So in a breathtaking show of skill and precision, lethality and force, America, ridiculous. Engaged the enemy, rescued the stranded officer, destroyed all threats and exited Iranian territory while taking no casualties of any kind. Calls them dumb asses. Yeah, true. The heroic f people that are upset that the pilot got rescued. Well, yeah, because they want the US to lose because they hate Western ideology. That That's why it's pretty simple. Exited Iranian territory while taking no The heroic F-15 weapon system officer had evaded capture on the ground in Iran for almost 48 hours. That's a long time when you're in tough shape and when you're bleeding. It's a long time. When uh when we left, as you probably know, we had two large planes, old pretty old planes. It carried a lot. We needed a lot more equipment going in than coming out, obviously, because going in we needed to be able to scale mountains and we had a lot of equipment, but the sand was it was sandy, wet sand. So, we thought there may be a problem taking off. Because of the weight of the plane. And then you also had all the people jumping back onto the planes. Yeah, he said that. And they got pretty well bogged down and we had a contingency plan which was unbelievable where lighter, faster aircraft came in and they took them out. We blew up the old planes and we blew them up to smitherines. Oh. Because we had equipment on the planes that frankly we'd like to take, but I don't think it was worthwhile spending another four hours there taking it off. So, we didn't want anybody to have We have the best best equipment anywhere in the world. We didn't want anybody examining our not really uh anti-aircraft and other equipment. I mean, they said he was bleeding and uh that was the only thing that was like certain. And uh they rebuilt helicopters and wait what? Couldn't have lived without them. They did. They performed unbelievably well. And if you'd see it, you wouldn't believe it. They came off the plane and these guys had them the the uh the rotors were off. They rebuilt these helicopters in less than 10 minutes. Jesus Christ. And that was one of the more amazing things. They these are helicopters. Uh yeah, small, unbelievably powerful, but small hel very small so it can get into certain areas. and they got them off the plane and they rebuilt all three of them in a matter of less than I would say less than 10 minutes. It's pretty amazing what the the genius of these people. Who would think that? You'd think it would take five days to build them and in some companies it would take five days and they wouldn't do it well. But they served us well. They as commander-in-chief I never forget the extraordinary risk taken by the warriors that we send into battle and the genius. I mean, think of it having a contingency of three planes waiting because we think the sand is so bad that probably won't be able to take off. And the planes really got bogged. Sand was this was not much of a runway. This was a farm, not a runway. It's a farm, but uh it did the trick. But to have a contingency as opposed to having to wait two days, can you imagine right in the middle? This was central. This was right. You would call it central casting. Well, there it is. And uh let me go back with the people mad about pilots are same ones the astronauts that left those astronauts in space because Elon would be the one to help them. Damn. I actually forgot all about that. I I did. A leaker aided and emedded Iran. Wait, what? Wait, what? As you probably know, we didn't talk about the first one for Yo, what the [ __ ] An hour and then somebody leaked something which we'll hopefully find that leaker. were looking very hard to find that leaker and talked about they got to they got to publicly execute the people that do that and they do. Um I think that there's a huge problem where people think that they can get away with stuff like this and whenever they get away with it then other people do it cuz they think they can get away with it cuz the other person got away with it. We should just publicly execute them. I think that's the right thing to do. Firing squat. Yeah. I mean I mean I don't know you could do it in a lot of different ways. It doesn't really matter to me, but it just mean like what matters is that it happens, right? I mean, like obviously if you're leaking stuff to a foreign government, like I mean what are we even doing here? Like really like what are we what's going on? H how is how how are we even in a world where this is a conversation? There's somebody missing. Mhm. They basically said that we have one and there's somebody missing. Well, they didn't know there was somebody missing until this leaker gave the information. So, whoever it was, we think we'll be able to find it out because we're going to go to the media company that released it and we're going to say national security, give it up or go to jail. All right. That's what I'm talking about. Okay. [ __ ] finally. Yes. So, finally there's a level of accountability. That's that's all I wanted. Yes. Okay, good. God damn. It's so easy. It's so obvious. Damn. And we know who And you know who we're talking about. Cuz some things you can't do because when they did that, all of a sudden the entire country of Iran knew that there was a pilot that was somewhere on their land that was fighting for justice happened before celebrating. And it also made it much more difficult for the pilots and for the people going in to search for him. All of a sudden uh they know that there's somebody out there. They see all these planes coming in. It became a much more difficult operation because a leaker leaked that we have one. We've rescued one but there's another one out there that we're trying to get. Yeah. So actually the country Iran put out a major notice, you all saw it, offering a very big award for anybody $60,000. Like again, bro, like I've had a lot of sponsors for more than $60,000. Like I mean like global propaganda that pays less than Fortnite. I mean like I just I'm just not feeling it. I think that they should have done a lot more. They should have been like 60 grand. I'm like, "Give me a break." That captures the pilot. Like, Raid: Shadow Legends pays better than Iran. What? How's that work? So, in addition to a hostile, very talented, very good, very evil military, we had Millions of people trying to get an award. Yeah. And uh let me see here. Isn't that a lot in Iran? Yeah, but it' still be more overall. Oh, here it is. Oh, now we have the threat and today as the CIA director mentioned, Iran's military and we know this is embarrassed and humiliated and they should be what for the first time. Now these are not routine operations. They were high-risk highstakes missions conducted in the heart of enemy territory. This was not just barely into Iran. was deep into Iran involving coordinated strikes to suppress threats, deception tactics to protect our teams and I love how you guys keep trying to correct me saying that like it's a lot of money in Iran without contextualizing also that everything in Iran is like almost unpurchasable because of the the inflation. Like yeah, it's more money in Iranian money, but you need more Iranian money to buy everything. Like I I I I can't believe there's so many people trying to correct me on this obvious thing. Like how many people are just totally economically illiterate? I mean, I'm not an expert in this, but Jesus Christ, guys. Come on. Holy [ __ ] Like, this is bad. This is scary. I read like 20 comments like that. [ __ ] guys. Synchronization across air ground and special operations. The Iranians are still asking themselves right now, how did the Americans do this? One downed airman evading capture for more than a day, scaling rugged ridges while hunted by the enemy. When he was finally able to activate his emergency transponder, the beeper, his first message was simple, 67 and it was powerful. He sent a message, God is good. Damn. in that moment of isolation and threat. Damn. And today, as the CIA director mentioned, Iran's military, and we know this, is embarrassed and humiliated. Yeah. I mean, there it is. So, he just said, "God is good." Yeah, I bet. Absolutely. See, transponder. His first message was simple and it was powerful. He sent a message. It's going to be a great movie. God will be is good. This shit's gonna go so hard. In that moment of isolation and danger, his faith and fighting spirit shone through. You see, shot down on a Friday. Good Friday. Hidden in a cave. A crevice all of Saturday. Oh no. He's and rescued on Sunday. Easter. Flown out of Iran as the sun was rising on Easter Sunday. A pilot reborn. You got to admit this is pretty good. It is like this is pretty good. All home and accounted for a nation rejoicing. God is good, man. How about that? Despite incoming fire and unforgiving conditions, our troops brought every American home. No American lives were lost. We leave no man behind. Timing. Yeah. And that is not luck. Crazy. It's the result of unmatched training, superior technology, an unbreakable warrior ethos, and sheer American grit. Our special operators, pilots, and support crews performed with near perfection under fire. And they were lethal. Just ask any Iranian soldier who dared attempt to get anywhere near that pilot. They're probably dead, right? Before or during that mission. Yeah. There it is. It's taking the entire nation to Sunday school. Yeah, bro. This was and rescued. Wait, a crevice. Good Friday. Shot down on a Friday. Good Friday. This was This is actually so good. A crevice. This is crazy good. All of Saturday, And rescued on Sunday. A pilot reborn, all home and accounted for. A nation rejoicing. Jesus Christ, man. Absolute cinema. Yeah, it lines up perfect. Like, yeah. How, bro? Like, that's like again, that's like what I was saying before about how like that bald eagle landing and looking at the rocket launch. Like, that's crazy. Like, what are the odds of that? How about that? And uh yeah, god damn. And uh went hard. Yeah, it was really good. And uh Trump was up in the middle of the night. Well, yeah. What was this? It was authorized in less than two hours from those that pilot going down when we knew where he was. Yeah. Just pop off. And it was authorized in the middle of the night because anybody that's worked for this this man knows he's up in the middle of the night. Authorized immediately without hesitation. Audaciously. get the second mission as soon as we knew where that pilot was and John was certainly helpful in that also executed immediately. You know, I looked up at my screen when the final mission was complete inside our skiff, our secure facility. And we have a running VTC, a running coordination cell. And the top of it read 45 minutes and 45 hours and 56 minutes for 45. It was authorized in 45 hours they were doing that [ __ ] God damn. See a running coordination cell and the top of it read 45 minutes and 45 hours and 56 minutes. Jesus. For 45 hours and 56 minutes we held that call open for coordination. From the moment our pilots went down, our mission was unblinking. The call never dropped. The meeting never stopped. The planning never ceased. I guess they just didn't do it on Sky. President demanded rapid decisive action. He backed our military with the full weight of his resolve, refusing to let enemy propaganda or tactical setbacks deter us. His leadership ensured that every lethal and non-lethal resource was brought to bear, that our forces had the authorities and the support they needed to succeed. When the president says he has the backs of our war fighters, he means it. And it means a great deal and it's a big difference on the battlefield. President Trump understands that peace through strength is not a slogan. It is a doctrine that saves American lives. His unwavering commitment to rebuilding our military and restoring the warrior spirit has paid dividends in missions just like this one. I think he's right about that, too. So, I do think that like the idea that the guy gets shot down on Good Friday, he hides in a cave and 3 days later he's rescued as the sun rises in Iran by the American military. And then after that, they're talking about like just blowing up everything in Iran. Like, I mean, I'm sorry guys. I know there's like a lot of, you know, like Starbucks liberals and people like that that don't like this kind of language. Let me tell you something. You know who does? the enlisted men in the military. I can tell you like every single guy that I know that was or is in the military that I've known my entire life, like maybe there's like one or two exceptions, but like overwhelmingly like I'm sorry. Like if you're a 19-year-old guy and you're ready to join the Marines, that's what you want to hear. That is that's the same thing. And the thing is that a hundred years ago, that's what they wanted to hear. 500 years ago, that's what they wanted to hear. Get this. A,000 years ago, that's what they wanted to hear. 3,000 years ago, like remember those Roman legionnaires? Guess what? They were listening to the same thing. That's the way it is. Under his command, America projects power with confidence. And brings our people home with victory. And that continues today, by the way, per the president's direction. Today will be the largest volume of strikes since day one of this operation. Tomorrow even more than today and then Iran has a choice. Choose wisely because this president choose wisely. Okay. Well, there it is. One of this operation tomorrow even more than today. And then Iran has a choice. Choose wisely. Because this president does not play around. You can ask Solommani. You can ask Maduro. You can ask Kmeni. to those heroes who planned and executed these rescues, your nation stands in awe. Not not gone too. The chairman stands in awe. We all stand in awe of your professionalism and bravery. That's Maduro. We serve for you. You embody the very best of America. To the rescued airmen and their families, welcome home. Your courage and endurance, the quiet declaration of faith amid the storm, Maduro in prison inspires us all. Why are you in good every day? And to our adversaries watching from Tyrron, let this be a clear message. The United States military will go anywhere at any time to protect our own and complete the mission. We execute with precision. We control the skies. You see, we flew for 7 hours in daylight over Iran to get the first pilot. That's not too good, right? And we flew 7 hours in the middle of the night to get the second. And Iran, I mean, like again, if we were in a war with China and you had Chinese airplanes and helicopters flying over New York City for 7 hours, nobody would be saying the United States is winning. Nobody would be saying this. It would be pretty obvious who's winning. That's what's crazy. The mission. We execute with precision. We control the sky. You see, we flew for 7 hours. In daylight over Iran to get the first pilot, and we flew seven hours in the middle of the night to get the second. and Iran did nothing about it. Yeah. I wonder why. We fight with honor. And under President Trump's leadership, we win. So, God bless our troops. Yeah. God bless President Trump. And God bless the United States of America. Thank you. Our own. Well, how about that? And uh Yeah, there it is. It was a big deal when a Chinese air balloon was in our airspace. Yeah, remember that? Yeah, exactly. What is this? an incredibly dangerous undertaking, but a filled promise made to every American war fighter that you will not be left behind. We will always come find you, and we will always bring you home. They're going to get you. Over the next hours, the search and rescue task force cross the beach, entered into Iranian airspace. I don't like the religious pandering, but I love to see the I'll never leave a fallen comrade or not just empty words. Well, you better get used to the religious pandering because uh it's better to have that than a bunch of weirdos that are trying to replace the religious pandering with gender ideology. I think that you're in a world of competing ideologies. And you either have an ideology that wins or the other ideology wins. That's the reason why they're doing it. I mean, you guys know I'm not a very big religious guy either, but I'd rather have that than some other [ __ ] there. There's no existence of a realm where this space is not occupied. It will be occupied by something and so you might as well make it the thing that's on your side. That's my outlook on it. Cole, thanks for the 20 subs. Protected by a fighter strike package and moved into the objective area, all under fire. I'm totally fine. in route. As some of you have seen on social media, the helicopters took gas off the C130s and pressed onward and forward up into the objective area. While this was ongoing and out in front of them, the Sandy flight of A-10s and other remotely piloted aircraft, drones and other tactical aircraft were violently suppressing and engaging the enemy in a close-in gunfight to keep them away from the front seater and allow the pickup force to get into the Makes sense. During this engagement, one of the Sandy aircraft, the one primarily responsible for communicating with a downed pilot, uh, was hit by enemy fire. This pilot continued to fight, continued the mission, and then upon exit flew his aircraft into another country and determined that the airplane was not landable. This was one of our A-10 Sandy aircraft. Holy [ __ ] The pilot then made the decision to eject over friendly territory and was quickly and rec safely recovered and is doing fine. God [ __ ] how Oh yeah, that's a whole lot. And uh what is this? Oh, this is the Say a few words. Thank you. Uh oh, they got the CIA guy. Uh oh. Thank you, Mr. President. It's a privilege to be here with you today to share what we can about this exceptional mission and to recognize the ingenuity and bravery of those who executed it as well as the leadership and resolve of the president who ordered One thing that has been clear to me in this role is that the flawless military operations that the Department of War is known for are hostage to flawless intelligence. We saw that. That's you guys over Iran in Operation Midnight Hammer last summer. We witnessed it in Venezuela during Operation Absolute Resolve. We've seen it against the cartels in the Western Hemisphere and we're seeing it every day in Operation Epic Fury, including this mission to rescue an aviator buried deep behind enemy lines. Mhm. because it is the unique tradition of the US armed forces that we leave no man or woman behind. This was a no-fale mission. That was the spirit in which the president put us to work and we were determined not to let him down or our airmen down. As an agency, the CIA possesses unique capabilities that only the president can deploy. Some of these capabilities fall under covert action authorities. And because covert means exactly that, you can't explain it. I'm not going to be able to tell you everything that you want to know. At the president's direction, we deployed both human assets and exquisite technologies that no other intelligence service in the world possesses to a daunting challenge comparable to hunting for a single sane of grain of sand in the middle of a desert. God damn. This was also a race against the clock. That we locate the downed aviator as quickly as possible. Alien tech. Yeah. while at the same time keeping our enemies misdirected. For that reason, in addition to the human and technical assets deployed by the president to find our airmen, CIA executed a deception campaign to confuse the Iranians who were desperately hunting for our airmen. Yeah, I bet they were trying to look for him. Saturday morning, we achieved our primary objective by finding and providing confirmation that one of America's best and bravest was alive and concealed in a mountain in circles. Yeah, probably still invisible to the enemy. I wonder what I have no idea. That confirmation was relayed by Secretary Hegith to the president and the operation quickly moved to the execution phase. Following the successful exfiltration on Saturday night, our intelligence reflects that the Iranians were embarrassed and ultimately humiliated by the success of this audacious rescue. Duh. When the president asked me to lead the CIA, he made it clear. Get back to basics. No politics, no agendas. Tackle the hardest problems and execute the toughest missions. This president is about results. And now that's what his CIA is about, too. Great. The professionals at the agency and at the Department of War deserve immense credit for their flawless execution during this daring mission. Their skill, creativity, and courage are unmatched on the battlefield wherever they step. Yeah, they popped off on them, man. Iran had the same capabilities US has and all of that is wasted. That' be bad for a lot of other people without a president with the political Iranians to put them into action. Mr. President, I've had the privilege of seeing you act with political courage in the best interest of the United States up close on a daily basis, and I'm grateful that this successful mission has given the American people a window into that as well. The secretary and chairman will tell you that our service members confidence is boosted by a commander-in-chief who has their back the same way they have yours. And I know that the confidence of CIA's officers is boosted by the knowledge that their work is informing a president who's not afraid to make the hardest decisions when the stakes are highest. I think that's probably true that like uh you know, imagine if you have the president and the president's more worried about like maintaining good favor of the media than like your life. Yeah, I could see somebody being uh really demotivated by that. I see that happen a lot with like police forces where the police like a lot of police like retire or uh you know they quit just because they can't really do their job and it would be naive to think that you know the CIA or the military would be any different than that. But I think it's pretty obvious that it's the same. And to the American people, your confidence should be boosted by knowing that the security of the nation is in the hands of a president who's willing to take on problems that have confounded both sides of the political aisle for nearly half a century. It is an honor to serve under a leader who just proved that you can believe him when he says no thing. Well, I mean, I think this is glazew worthy, right? I mean, like to to get a guy out like that and to lose nobody in the process. I think that's really [ __ ] impressive. Like, everybody talks about glazing like it's always a bad thing. Well, sometimes people do things that are good, you know? Imagine that. And if it is, like it's like, wow, that's really great. We will come for you. That's awesome. Thank you. Yeah, that was good, man. I like that. And uh let's see here if I can find it. If I can look at some of these other ones, too. Oh, this is some more. Great. and Pete. All I can say is that uh he was treated very unfairly. And now those same people that treated him unfairly, that fought against him, they called me up saying, "What a great choice he was." They said, "Well, what happened uh during his nomination? What happened to you?" I'm tell people that were not for him, senators, friends of mine. Sir, I don't think you're doing the right thing. Now they call me up. Why did you We still lost the jet. You didn't lose the jet. You gained the like. So you you have to understand that being able to flex on them in their own country and also not lose anybody is worth more than the jet is. So you're only thinking about the money of the operation. You're not thinking of what the operation implies that people will perceive. So the whole world and think about the fact that like think about how stupid the Iranians feel like they're already on the razor's edge. They're already about to fall apart. They can't talk to each other. They got nothing going on. They're getting bombed constantly. Somebody plays a lawn mower and they start running and trying to hide in a building. Like they're stressed out. And so then for somebody to go in for for them to have everything that they have focused on getting one guy and then not get the guy, that's embarrassing. And that that collectively is worth infinitely more than any other kind of [ __ ] That's what really matters. So yeah, morale is important. Well, it's morale on both sides. Joyce, these two guys, fantastic. Let me pull it up. And John Ratcliffe was incredible. It was actually their genius that called us from he was 40 miles away and he said, you know, we're seeing something moving up in the mountain. This is at night. And they kept the camera on him for 45 minutes. He wasn't moving. So here here you look at this. Napoleon's presence on the battlefield is worth 40,000 men. Look at that, bro. Like a IRL buff. So like this isn't something new. It's not some kind of new situation that nobody's ever heard of. This has already been defined. People know this. There it is. And so if you think that like and that's something that we knew about a long time ago. We already knew about that. Like a rallying cry. Yeah, like a [ __ ] devotion or something like that, right? Obviously thick, vast mountain, vast thick with bushes and trees. He said, "We see something moving." 40 miles away. Was a the head of a human being. I'm telling you, it's moving. And then all of a sudden, 45 minutes later, he moved a lot. Yeah. stood up and they stood we have him. They got it. That was really the beginning of something incredible. We had an idea where he was, but not specifically. That's a big mountain. So, uh, I want to thank the CIA, too. I don't think they get enough credit for the great job they've done. Yes, please. Yes. Well, how about that? What did your response if people rise up against the regime? Uh-oh. people raise up against their regime during a case fire. Mr. President, well, they should do it, but again, the consequences are great. I mean, they were told you if you protest, you will be shot immediately. You saw what happened to the young wrestler. He was a great champion, by the way. He was a great wrestler, one of the top in the world. And he and his two friends were hung. And all they did was say a little bit about liberty. They wanted liberty. and they were violently executed. But uh the number is up to probably 45,000 people were killed. So, you know, when somebody stays in a house when they know if they walk out of the house to protest, they'll be immediately shot and killed. And they issued that, you know, that was publicly issued. It's not a secret. That's why so many people say, "Oh, well, why are you doing this way?" We can't let Iran have a nuclear weapon. You know, we got regime change. We do. We're dealing with a much different regime than before. We're doing not different enough. They're smarter. I think they're sharper uh and far less radical. We have regime change, but uh we didn't do this for regime change. We did it for the fact and my my view was very simple. I saw somebody said, "Oh, he doesn't have a plan. I have the best plan of all." But I'm not going to tell you what my plan is. You know, they want me to say, "Here's my plan. and we're going to attack at 9:47 in the morning and then we're going to do this and then we're going to and if you don't do that they say I have a plan. These people know what the plan is. Everybody here knows what the plan is but uh it's so it's a secret. There it is. Okay. Well, there it is. The top Yeah, this is so [ __ ] annoying. People that are so pro You just saw two great and three unbelievable. They have a plan. Every every single thing has been thought out by all of us. But I can't reveal the plan to the media. So, you know, but we're just thrilled by the success of this operation. What a surprise. They're not going to explain what happened. Oh, what is this here? Intercept in Iran. Civilians. What is it for that in order to have freedom? Uh the Iranians have and we've had numerous intercepts. Please keep bombing bombs that are dropping near their homes. Please keep bombing. Do it. And these are people that are living where the bombs are exploding. And when we leave and we're not hitting those areas, they're saying, "Please come back. Come back. Come back." These are the people. You didn't get them all. I don't know what they do. All I can tell you is they want freedom. They have lived in a world that you know nothing about. It's a violent, horrible world where if you protest, you are shot. Remember the great woman protest where they had 400,000 500,000 women and they were all enthused and they were going to protest and everybody said, "Oh, the regime's going to come to an end." And then all of a sudden, boom, boom. Five, six different areas. A woman would go down right between the eyes. They had snipers. They had five snipers. That's all it took. And those four or 500,000 women said, "Oh my god, what's that?" Oh, look over there. What's that? A woman shot right between the eyes. And after five or six of them go down, then you start hearing the purr through the vast number of people. Yeah. People start running away. And then they said, "Oh my god, who would do that?" And they're incredible people, but they've lived so horribly. They've lived No, it's probably true. I mean, like, I think that's not a surprise, especially their uh Oh, here we go. Freedom for Iran. They don't tell you the real facts. Women, men, gays. How about gays for Iran? They kill the gays. They throw them off buildings. So, I I wonder what what's going on. I I can only say this. The only reason why they do that is because they are privileged white people that live in Western countries that just always take the side that's oppositional to their country. There's no real thinking about it at all. I mean, I don't understand the logic of wanting to preserve an ideology that would kill you. Like, I think that's a bad idea. I think that's stupid. But, you know, there's a lot of people that are like
