00:00This is a new topic that everyone's been debating.
00:02Look, I don't think there's a necessity,
00:04I don't think there's the appetite
00:06to put boots on the ground in Cuba.
00:08I think some of this happens organically.
00:10I think the system is in the process of collapsing
00:13because it's a socialist regime
00:15and those experiments never work, note Mayor Mondami.
00:19But listen, if it happens that there's a regime change there,
00:23we don't need American troops there.
00:25I don't believe we do.
00:26I think that that will happen
00:27and they'll be looking to change things
00:31and maybe they'll be driving vehicles
00:32that were manufactured later than 1952, very soon,
00:36and that would be great.
00:37Look, they're a close neighbor.
00:38They're 90 miles from Key West.
00:40I mean, they're a close neighbor
00:42and it's in our neighborhood in the hemisphere.
00:44The president, because of his strong leadership,
00:47brought together the Security for the Americas new initiative
00:50to take care of narco-terrorists
00:52and ensure that in our hemisphere we're safe and secure
00:54and there are so many countries bought in on that.
00:56Cuba will be a big topic of discussion
01:00and we hope that it works out well.
01:02But should we be sending a bunch of American troops there?
01:04I don't think there's a necessity for that.
01:06So that answers the question.
01:08Now, the hostilities and the military operation in Iran
01:13is limited in its scope.
01:15The president has said as recently as several hours ago
01:18that it will be over soon.
01:20It's been remarkably successful.
01:22I think I saw the number over 5,000 targets struck in that country.
01:27The leadership of the country, the regime has been turned over
01:31to a next generation.
01:32Who knows how long that will go?
01:33But they're holding the people back.
01:35They've killed tens of thousands of their own citizens.
01:38And importantly for America, the reason this is in America's interest
01:41is because they were going to strike us.
01:42And they have been at war with us.
01:45Iran declared war on us for the last four decades.
01:48They said they wanted to wipe Israel off the face of the map
01:50and they wanted to hit us as the great Satan.
01:52They've killed American citizens.
01:53They have fired upon our service members over there
01:56and our installations enough.
01:58But I think that this current operation was, by design,
02:01limited in scope and in mission.
02:03I think the mission is being achieved, is nearly completed.
02:09And the commander-in-chief himself said, in the last 24 hours,
02:12it will come to a close.
02:14So gas prices will readjust after that.
02:17You know most of this is because the Strait of Hormuz
02:19has been closed by the regime down there.
02:22But it will be reopened and it will take a couple of weeks,
02:25but gas prices will come back down.
02:27Remember, they were down almost $2.5 a gallon on a national average
02:32under President Trump, when under Biden,
02:35they were at almost $5 a gallon.
02:36So this is a temporary blip in an extraordinary trend
02:40of a return to American energy dominance.
02:42The evidence speaks for itself and it will continue to, Olivia.
02:45And we would be remiss if we did not address the shutdown
02:48of the Department of Homeland Security right now.
02:50Over the weekend, two aspiring terrorists, as you've seen,
02:53threw homemade bombs into a crowd of protesters in New York City.
02:57I won't even comment on how badly the media has misled
02:59the American people with coverage of that story,
03:01but let's talk about the reality.
03:03The more important point is that two terrorists nearly killed dozens
03:06of people with bombs and the agency of the government that is specifically tasked
03:12with defending our homeland from exactly those types of threats is currently shut down,
03:17thanks to Democrats in Congress.
03:20Those bombs never exploded, thanks be to God, and countless lives were spared.
03:24But one of the attackers allegedly told police after the attack that he hoped that it would,
03:29quote, be even bigger than the Boston Marathon bombing.
03:32There was an alleged attack, a terror attack in Austin, as you know, two weekends ago.
03:37A bomb threat at an airport in Kansas City on Sunday.
03:41And the Department of Homeland Security is warning that the U.S. is susceptible to lone wolf
03:46and sleeper cell terror attacks on our homeland.
03:50And again, I'll repeat, all the critical agencies like CISA, the agencies that monitor
03:56bio-threats and attacks on our critical infrastructure like CBP and the Coast Guard,
04:01they're all shut down right now because Democrats, as usual, are playing games.
04:05They're playing games with people's lives.
04:07We got other critical agencies like FEMA and TSA that are unfunded, experiencing significant
04:13staff shortages, and that's why travelers around the country have felt already the unfortunate
04:18effects.
04:20This weekend, airports reporting record wait times.
04:23All of that, all of that is because of the Democrats shutdown.
04:27If you missed a wedding or a funeral, you're worried about missing your flight for spring break
04:31this week, you have Democrats to blame.
04:34The Republicans have done our job.
04:36And Democrats are also to blame for the tens of thousands of TSA agents who continue to show
04:40up to work despite not having their paychecks.
04:43Those are hardworking people.
04:44They've got families.
04:45They've got bills to pay.
04:45They have real regular lives, mouths to feed.
04:49And they protect our skies and they ensure our airports are functional, and yet Democrats
04:53are blocking their paychecks.
04:54And here's the big question.
04:56Why are they doing it?
04:57Why would they do that?
04:58They know all these things are happening.
05:00Why would they do it?
05:01It's very simple.
05:02They keep showing us over and over.
05:04Why is FEMA unable to process new grant applications for natural disasters?
05:08Why are our airports so congested and unreliable?
05:11Why is our homeland so vulnerable to threats?
05:14The answer is simple.
05:14Because Democrats have made the conscious political decision, crazy as it is, by word
05:21and by deed, to protect criminal illegal aliens over hardworking American citizens.
05:26That's it.
05:27Democrats have dragged the American people through multiple shutdowns now.
05:31First to protect, remember last time, in the longest shutdown in history, last fall,
05:34their argument was they wanted to protect health care benefits for illegal aliens, and now
05:38they've jeopardized the security of every American citizen to keep criminal illegal aliens
05:43in our country.
05:44They want to fight the Department of Homeland Security and the rule of law.
05:49It's wrong and it's dangerous, and we pray that the Senates and the Democrats put the
05:52safety of their constituents over the demands of the far left radical base in their party
05:56that they run in fear of, and vote to reopen the Department of Homeland Security immediately.
