00:00:05-00:00:33 (28 sec)
Yeah. This could be on the record. It's going to be a heavy law and order focused speech. The crowd is packed, thousands of people, both inside and outside of the venue. Um, and there will be a big law enforcement presence in the crowd, local and federal law enforcement. Uh, Attorney General Todd Blanche and FBI Director, Kash Patel, will be there to reveal the latest crime statistics, which are quite staggering.

00:00:33-00:00:43 (10 sec)
The president's going to talk about how much we've done to reduce violent crime in the country and put bad people behind bars, so it's going to be a great speech. A lot of energy. He's excited.

Uh, Secretary Bessent talks about potential more economic action against Iran. He said, stay tuned. What do you guys have in mind? How is it going to be different than the already tensions like the ones that you have already?

I won't get ahead of Secretary Bessent, or the president, but there are more tools at our disposal that we can use to continue punishing Iran and crippling their economy, which is in a very weak spot as it is right now.

Um, the president's been very clear on our position on munitions. Unfortunately, tragically, President Joe Biden gave away a lot to Ukraine and other countries around the world. The president, since day one, has been focused on rebuilding our arsenal. With that said, contrary to much of the reporting in the media, the United States has more than enough munitions stockpiled here at home and all around the world to accomplish any mission that the commander in chief green lights.

But obviously, this president has been far more judicious than the last one with respect to just sending our munitions overseas to other countries. He wants to rebuild our base here at home, and the military is working on that. I know Secretary Hegseth has made this a big priority.

Look, I think both goals are equally as important to the president, right? Of course, we want to keep gas prices low. That's why the administration has done so much to keep the market stable but also, ensuring Iran can never get a nuclear weapon is the president's priority, with respect to the ongoing conflict.
