00:00September 11 terrorist attacks with a clear mission to keep our country safe, secure and free.
00:06The department's work includes counterterrorism operations, disaster recovery, physical and cyber protection of critical infrastructure and immigration enforcement.
00:15The stakes for the success of the Department of Homeland Security could not be higher.
00:21And that's also why the Granite Staters and Americans of all stripes have been deeply concerned about what they've seen
00:29from the Department of Homeland Security under this administration.
00:33People have been rightfully outraged about the lawlessness from the department's leadership, which has not only resulted in the death
00:41of two American citizens, but has also led to the hollowing out of agencies like FEMA.
00:48So to Senator Mullen and my colleagues, what happens here in this room today is not nearly as important as
00:58what happens at our border.
01:00Missiles, T-LAMS from the USS Stout, a DDG-55 destroyer.
01:07Fireballs erupted over healthy controlled regions as F-18 fighter jets ripped through the skies, pounding enemy positions in western
01:17Yemen.
01:19The U.S. strikes a part of Operation Poseidon Archer, a campaign to eliminate Houthi threats to Red Sea shipping
01:27lanes and cripple their military power.
01:30Starting Iran, I'm not I can't speak to their reasoning on most anything, obviously, but it's President Trump has an
01:40approach that he is committed to because he wants a result.
01:44And we are seeing some of those results now and we will continue to see more.
01:50Certainly the the Houthis are seeing the results of of what we are committed to do to make sure that
01:57things change in this planet.
01:59And I feel it's our military is the greatest in the world with the greatest equipment to the greatest people
02:07in the world.
02:07There's nobody's ever seen anything like it.
02:10Iran is a very powerful country.
02:12They were going to take over the Middle East.
02:14If we did not hit them, they were going to take over the Middle East.
02:18They had thousands and thousands since their last hit.
02:21They had thousands and thousands of missiles and everything else.
02:26Most are now destroyed.
02:28But they were going to take over the Middle East.
02:30Those weapons were aimed at Middle Eastern countries that had nothing to do with this.
02:36They were going to take over the Middle East and they were going to try and destroy Israel.
02:40So we stopped it with good timing.
02:44And we're very proud to be involved in this.
02:46And it's going to be ended soon.
02:49And if it starts up again, they'll be they'll be hit even harder.
02:54Thank you very much for being here.
02:56Go ahead.
02:56Any questions?
02:58We'll bring you our special program looking at the key developments from today.
03:04Well, President Trump lashes out at America's allies, saying the U.S. no longer needs any help with the war.
03:13A major blow for the Iranian regime.
03:15Israel says it's killed one of its most powerful figures, Ali Larajani.
03:24More trouble for Iran's neighbors.
03:27Iraq battles a wave of drone and rocket attacks in the skies above Baghdad.
03:34Passers-by captured the moment the U.S. embassy in the Iraqi capital came under attack.
03:44Israel continues to strike Hezbollah targets in Lebanon as Western leaders call for de-escalation in the face of a
03:51growing humanitarian crisis.
03:56On day 18 of the war, President Trump has upended traditional diplomacy, and he's not happy with their response.
04:06We defend all these countries, and they say, well, would it be possible for us not to get involved?
04:17Well, I've been saying it for a long time.
04:19This is the greatest thing to come out of this.
04:22We spend trillions and trillions of dollars on NATO to defend other countries.
04:26And I always said, but if it ever comes time to defend us, they're not going to be there.
04:32Many of them would not be there.
04:35And we're going to have to start thinking more wisely in this country.
04:41Sources tell CNN that U.S. officials spent the weekend trying to rally support from foreign allies, hoping that they
04:47could announce a coalition soon.
04:49But today, almost in the same breath of calling for help, Trump is insisting that he doesn't need anyone else
04:55to get the job done.
04:58I don't do a hard sell on them.
05:00I don't do a hard sell on them.
