[0:00] MORE, WE ARE NOW GOING TO BRING IN CALIFORNIA CONGRESSMAN DARRELL ISSA. [0:03] CONGRESSMAN, PRESIDENT TRUMP IS TELLING US THAT HIS PATIENCE IS RUNNING THIN. [0:08] HIS LATEST POST ON TRUTH SOCIAL HAS SOME REALLY BAD WORDS IN IT, SO WE'RE JUST GOING TO GIVE [0:13] YOU THE GIST OF IT. [0:14] HE SAID, TUESDAY WILL BE POWER PLANT DAY AND BRIDGE DAY, ALL WRAPPED UP IN ONE IN IRAN. [0:20] THERE WILL BE NOTHING LIKE IT. [0:22] OPEN THE F-WORD STRAIGHT, YOU CRAZY B-WORDS, OR YOU'LL BE LIVING IN HELL. [0:28] JUST WATCH. [0:28] PRAISE BE TO ALLAH. [0:30] CONGRESSMAN, DO YOU WANT TO SEE THE U.S. START HITTING, LIKE THE PRESIDENT SAYS, CIVILIAN [0:36] INFRASTRUCTURE IN IRAN? [0:39] WELL, THE ANSWER IS, OF COURSE, THE PRESIDENT DIDN'T WANT TO DO IT. [0:43] HE'D LIKE TO TURN OVER TO THE IRANIAN PEOPLE, A COUNTRY THAT CAN RECOVER QUICKLY WITH A [0:49] CHANGE IN THE REGIME'S BEHAVIOR OR A CHANGE OF REGIME. [0:53] BUT FROM THE BEGINNING, THE PRESIDENT'S MADE IT CLEAR THAT THE FIRST HIT WAS TO STOP THE [0:58] NUCLEAR DEVELOPMENT. [0:59] WHEN IT WAS ON THE PRECIPICE OF BEING USED. [1:02] THE SECOND ONE IS TO CHANGE THE BEHAVIOR OF THE ADMINISTRATION OR CHANGE ADMINISTRATION. [1:07] AND THE PRESIDENT, HIS NEGOTIATION'S BEEN CLEAR. [1:10] HE'LL TAKE EITHER ONE. [1:11] IF THIS REGIME IS WILLING TO CHANGE ITS WAYS THROUGH A NEGOTIATION THAT LEADS TO A [1:18] REFILEABLE PEACE, OKAY. [1:21] BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY, HE'LL DO WHAT HE HAS TO DO. [1:24] AND THAT INCLUDES TAKING THE OIL AWAY FROM THEM, TAKING AWAY THEIR ABILITY TO MOVE THEM. [1:29] TAKING AWAY THEIR ABILITY TO MOVE EQUIPMENT. [1:32] AND, PETER, LET'S BE HONEST. [1:35] WHEN YOU TAKE AWAY BRIDGES, YOU TAKE AWAY THE ABILITY FOR THEM TO TRANSPORT FUTURE WEAPONS [1:40] DEVELOPMENT, TO RUN FACTORIES, SO THEY'RE NOT PURELY CIVILIAN TARGETS, BUT THEY'RE LESS [1:45] VALUABLE THAN THE ONES WE HIT INITIALLY FROM A STANDPOINT OF CURRENT WEAPONS FIGHTING. [1:51] BUT IN THE LONG RUN, THE PRESIDENT'S GOING TO ELIMINATE THEIR ABILITY TO OPERATE AS A [1:55] REGIME IF THEY'RE NOT WILLING TO CAPITULATE. [1:57] AND HE'S MADE THAT VERY, VERY CLEAR. [1:59] GERMANS, IF THE U.S., AS WE JUST SAW, CAN LAND PLANES INSIDE IRAN TO THEN SEND IN SEALS [2:06] ON THE GROUND IN IRAN TO GO RESCUE A MISSING AIRMAN, SHOULD THEY ALSO GO LAND PLANES INSIDE [2:13] IRAN AND SEND SEALS ON THE GROUND TO GO GET IRAN'S URANIUM? [2:17] WELL, I THINK IF THEY KNEW THEY COULD GET IT WITH THE SAME PRECISION, OF COURSE THEY [2:22] WOULD. [2:23] BUT, YOU KNOW, EXTRACTING URANIUM ISN'T SOMETHING YOU DO BY A QUICK GRAB AND THROW IT IN THE [2:27] BACK OF THE TRUNK. [2:29] AND SO IT WOULD BE A MUCH LESS IMPORTANT THING. [2:30] BUT, YOU KNOW, THE PRESIDENT HAS MADE IT CLEAR THAT IF HE HAS TO CHOOSE BETWEEN IRANIAN [2:38] LIVES AND AMERICAN LIVES, AMERICAN LIVES ARE GOING TO BE SAVED. [2:42] AND SO IT'S VERY, VERY CLEAR THAT THE PRESIDENT IS USING OTHER TECHNIQUES RATHER THAN RISKING [2:47] AMERICANS WHENEVER POSSIBLE. [2:49] AND THIS IS SUCH A CHANGE FROM THE EARLIER REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS THE WAY THEY DID [2:55] BUSINESS. [2:56] HE'S NOT PUTTING OUR BOOTS IN HARM'S WAY UNLESS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY. [3:00] AND THEN ON THE OTHER HAND, HE'S NOT PUTTING OUR BOOTS IN HARM'S WAY UNLESS ABSOLUTELY [3:00] NECESSARY. [3:00] HE'S NOT PUTTING OUR BOOTS IN HARM'S WAY UNLESS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY. [3:01] HE'S NOT PUTTING OUR BOOTS IN HARM'S WAY UNLESS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY. [3:01] AND THEN ONLY IF HE CAN MINIMIZE THE RISK AS HE DID IN THIS INCREDIBLE RECOVERY OF [3:05] OUR AIRMAN. [3:06] AND YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT HOW MAYBE THEY WOULD GO GET THE URANIAN IF THEY KNEW THEY [3:11] WOULD DO IT WITH SUCH PRECISION. [3:12] THE PENTAGON ONLY DID THIS RESCUE MISSION BECAUSE THEY HAD TO. [3:16] THEY SAY THAT IRAN WAS GETTING CLOSER TO THIS CURRENAL BY THE HOUR. [3:19] But now that they have done it and nobody got hurt or killed, could this be like a dry run for boots on the ground? [3:27] Well, Peter, again, the general made it clear that you had a trained individual who was moving to the safest possible location and communicating. [3:37] Look, this uranium is exactly where it was put by the Iranians. [3:43] This uranium is absolutely where they know it could be booby trapped. [3:47] There is an awful lot of things. [3:49] I'm a former EOD soldier. There's one thing you know for sure is that you don't know for sure what the booby traps are. [3:57] And so to send our troops in and find out that they can push a button and blow up the site with us in it is not something we want to find out the hard way. [4:08] And so the president is doing what he needs to do to get it the right way, which is to get the regime to turn over this and other tools and to change their way. [4:18] Nobody said this was going to. [4:19] Be easy. [4:20] You know, we go all the way back to Jimmy Carter almost half a century ago, and every negotiation has failed. [4:27] Every technique to get them to change has failed. [4:30] And the president now is using the only technique that he knows will in time succeed, which is you will either change or we will be negotiating with your successor. [4:40] He's already been through a couple of successors, and there's no question at all. [4:44] They can at will eliminate who they're negotiating with and go on to the next negotiation. [4:50] And so they're not going to be able to do that. [4:51] They're going to have to wait until they have a negotiator until one of them realizes that going to meet Allah is something they'd like to delay. [4:59] And Congressman, last thing before I let you go, the US says that they have blown the Iranian military back to the Stone Ages. [5:05] Now adding insult to injury, the president had ice going round up some of the family members of the general that he killed in Trump 1.0 Soleimani who are living in the US. [5:16] The State Department tells us they terminated. [5:18] Their lawful permanent resident status. [5:19] Kilobar Soleimani pushed propaganda for Iran's terrorist regime while enjoying a lavish lifestyle in Los Angeles, as attested to by her frequent posting on her recently deleted Instagram [5:27] account. [5:28] Congressman, what took ice so long here? [5:30] Well, it took us so long is very straightforward. [5:33] Peter and you. [5:34] You witnessed it in the previous four years. [5:38] Over 10 million, perhaps as many as 15 million people allowed in to find a proverbial needle in the haystack. [5:45] Well, Peter, You've seen the story of Joe Biden in the past. [5:48] It's fairly different from what we've seen. [5:49] Well, as long ago. [5:50] Peter, there are thousands of needles, tens of thousands of needles, people who are dangerous, [5:55] people who didn't come here for the right reason, people who, in fact, have been planted here. [5:59] And that doesn't even include this technique that the Chinese have been using to plant [6:04] 100,000-plus future Chinese spies through birthright here. [6:10] So, the president inherited an amazingly tough situation. And for more than a year, [6:16] he has been sifting out and taking a huge amount. Yes, if we had to do it over again, [6:21] we might have looked at these particular cells sooner. But, remember, we have had attacks from [6:28] people we didn't expect. And so now the brave men and women of ICE and the other allied industries [6:35] are having to rethink where they look and how they look and where they prioritize [6:40] so that the American people can be safe again, at a time in which [6:45] my colleagues in the Senate and in the House of Representatives, [6:46] the Senate and the House of Representatives, the Senate and the House of Representatives, [6:46] the Senate and the House of Representatives, the Senate and the House of Representatives, [6:46] the Senate and the House of Representatives, the Senate and the House of Representatives, [6:46] are unwilling to fully fund the organizations, especially the behind-the-scenes investigators [6:53] that lead to picking these individuals. That's one of the parts of ICE that isn't funded right [6:58] now and that the president is having to find ways to move to keep these people on the job. [7:03] JOHN YANG Very interesting.
