00:00And 27 days ago, Iran had a modern military.
00:02Never in recorded history has a nation's military been so quickly and effectively neutralized.
00:08Operation Epic Fury is not an endless war.
00:11It's a decisive campaign with clear objectives to destroy Iran's offensive military capabilities
00:17and ensure they never obtain a nuclear weapon.
00:21This is stuff for the history books.
00:24This is stuff for legacy.
00:27Mr. President, you are acting now to ensure future generations do not have to live under
00:33the threat of a nuclear-armed Iran.
00:36However, you wouldn't know it if you listened to the dishonest hate Trump media, as you referenced.
00:42The folks here in the room, these cameras, they have a choice.
00:45You're either informing the American people of the truth or you're not.
00:49Because I hear it from my people every day.
00:52Behind every headline you write, there's a helicopter crew in the air.
00:57And behind every news banner you write, there's a battalion on the move.
01:02And behind every fake news story, there's an F-35 pilot executing a dangerous mission.
01:09My message to the media is get it right.
01:13This actually isn't something new to me.
01:15I may be a young guy, Mr. President, but I'm not a rookie in this realm.
01:19In 2007, I helped lead the surge, the public fight for the Iraq surge.
01:25Stood and watched people stand in the Senate and declare the war is lost before it even started.
01:30Who was that?
01:31It was Harry Reid.
01:32That was the Democrats and the media working hand in glove.
01:36Back then, it was three years into a war.
01:38Now we're three weeks into an operation.
01:42But see, unlike Iraq, this isn't a tie.
01:46This is not parody.
01:48This is not chaos.
01:49This is success.
01:51Pure American success.
01:53On plan.
01:54And as the president said, ahead of pace.
01:56Over 10,000 enemy targets destroyed.
01:59Over 140.
02:00I think now you're right, Mr. President.
02:02Over 150 naval vessels sunk.
02:04Underground facilities destroyed.
02:06Their defense industrial base in shambles.
02:08And overnight, not only do they not have a Navy, Mr. President, they no longer have a Navy commander.
02:14IRGC's Navy commander was killed overnight in operation.
02:17So no Navy, no Navy leader.
02:22Here's the thing about the media, though.
02:24If President Trump had not acted, you'd be screaming, why not?
02:29And now that he has taken decisive action, you're asking, well, why did you?
02:33It's the same old tired playbook.
02:35TDS in your DNA.
02:37But the hardworking, God-fearing, patriotic Americans out there know better.
02:42And you alluded to this, President Obama, Mr. President.
02:46Here's a fact that you don't hear on your networks, but we know.
02:49Many of the Iranian military factories and bases that we're systematically destroying were paid for by the pallets of American
02:57cash that Barack Obama flew into Tehran under the Iran deal.
03:03You might call it an inconvenient truth.
03:06Iran took our money and turned it into weapons and bunkers and ammo.
03:09And now we're destroying those weapons and we're righting, you're righting, Mr. President, that grievous wrong.
03:16And make no mistake, we had to act.
03:18And our objectives are clear.
03:19No nukes, no Navy, and a complete dismantling of their missile program and defense industrial base.
03:25And as Marco pointed out, that mission, and the VP as well, has not changed since day one.
03:31Yet, two days ago, they shot two failed missiles on a target 4,000 kilometers away.
03:40For years, they told the world that their missiles could only range 2 kilometers.
03:45Surprise.
03:46Yet again, Iran lied.
03:49And to the world, I say London is 4,000 kilometers from Iran.
03:55Washington, D.C. is 3,300 kilometers from Venezuela.
03:58Venezuela, another country President Trump did something about that partnered for a long time with Iran.
04:04So you're telling us that Iran is not a threat to the world or to the U.S.
04:07President Trump knows better.
04:09And here's what success actually looks like right now.
04:12You mentioned it, Mr. President.
04:14A-10 warthogs.
04:15If you know them, you love them.
04:16And Apache helicopter gunships are flying strike missions inside Iranian airspace and throughout the Strait of Hormuz at will.
04:25See, you only send these slow, low-flying, close air support platforms when the enemy has no meaningful air defenses
04:35left.
04:36Their presence is proof that Iran's air defenses are gone.
04:41Their command and control is shattered.
04:43Their top leaders hiding in underground bunkers.
04:45While their mid-level commanders are being crushed in the field, the morale of their fighters plummeting.
04:50And we see that disconnect daily.
04:53They're privately admitting, as you said, Mr. President, very heavy losses.
04:57We know that.
04:59President Trump has given us a clear mission.
05:01Our capabilities are only going up and Iran's are plummeting.
05:05We are here to win.
05:06And we're full speed ahead.
05:08So, Steve, we appreciate your efforts.
05:11We pray for a deal and we welcome a deal.
05:14And we have the ultimate dealmaker to make it happen.
05:17But in the meantime, as I said yesterday, the Department of War will continue negotiating with bombs.
05:23War is negotiation by other means.
05:26And finally, I want to thank our incredible troops.
05:30Our pilots, crews, sailors, refuelers, air defenders.
05:34The absolute best of America.
05:37The real 1% of our country.
05:39This president, President Trump, has your back.
05:42And I know this cabinet prays for you every single day.
05:47We ask the American people to do the same as they continue in this mission.
05:51God bless.
05:51Thank you very much.
05:52It's great.
