00:00In order for no quarter or no survivors is a war crime under the Geneva Conventions.
00:04You understand that's murder. Do you stand by that statement?
00:08You said we will give them no quarter, no mercy.
00:11In order for no quarter or no survivors is a war crime under the Geneva Conventions.
00:15You understand that's murder. Do you stand by that statement?
00:20The Department of War fights to win, and we ensure that our warfighters have the rules of engagement necessary to
00:25be as effective as humanly possible.
00:27You called Democratic members of Congress to be tried for sedition for reminding our troops to follow the law.
00:32But when you tell them to commit a war crime, you stand by yourself.
00:35For insinuating that the laws that we're giving them are...
00:38The girl school that got hit in the first days of this war.
00:42There is absolutely no question at this point what happened.
00:46We made a mistake, and that happens in war.
00:49We identified this target based on earlier charts, and yet two months after it happened, we refused to say anything
00:56about it.
00:57Giving the world the impression that we just don't care.
01:01We do not care about the casualties and the chaos that is caused by our war.
01:05And we should care, even if we want to prosecute that war.
01:09Now, I agree with the chairman.
01:11We need a strategy.
01:12We face the most complex threat environment that we face in a very, very long time.
01:17So we really want to hear from the administration.
01:19Don't give us this realism, chest-thumping stuff.
01:21What are we really going to do to meet those threats?
01:25To deal with the challenges we face?
01:28Under the leadership of President Trump, our builder-in-chief, we are reversing this systemic decay and putting our defense
01:35industrial base back on a wartime footing.
01:39President Trump has been clear-eyed from the killing of Qasem Soleimani, to the pulling out of the Iran deal,
01:45to Midnight Hammer, and now to this effort to recognize that you have to stare down this kind of enemy
01:51who's hell-bent on getting a nuclear weapon and get them to a point where they're at the table giving
01:55it up in a way that the Russians never have it.
01:58So they haven't broken yet.
02:00Okay, we haven't gotten there yet.
02:02Well, their nuclear facilities have been obliterated underground.
02:06They're buried and we're watching them 24-7.
02:09So we know where any nuclear material might be.
02:11Reclaiming my time for just a quick second here.
02:14We had to start this war, you just said, 60 days ago, because the nuclear weapon was an imminent threat.
02:23Now you're saying that it was completely obliterated?
02:25They had not given up their nuclear ambitions, and they had a conventional shield of thousands of-
02:30So Operation Midnight Hammer accomplished nothing of substance.
02:34It left us at exactly the same place we were before.
02:37So much so that we had to start a war.
02:38Their facilities were bombed and obliterated.
02:40Their ambitions continued, and they're building a conventional shield of missiles.
02:45All right, let me try again.
02:46It's the North Korea strategy.
02:47You know this very well.
02:48The North Korea strategy was use conventional missiles to prevent anybody from challenging them so they could slow walk their
02:54way to a weapon.
02:55President Trump saw Iran at its weakest moment, took an action to ensure, in a way that only the United
03:01States of America could do, with our Israeli partners.
03:03And yet they still haven't given up the nuclear.
03:05To ensure their conventional shield was brought to the field, which we've done.
03:08If I could get 15 months.
03:09What we didn't miss, and we're here in this committee, is that Joe Biden, with no accountability, gave hundreds of
03:14billions of dollars of our weapons to Ukraine.
03:17To an outcome that never would have happened if President Trump was the president.
03:20President Trump was the president of the United States of Ukraine.
