Charlie Kirk Today | Charlie Kirk: July 18, 2025 | Charlie Kirk Today | July 18, 2025
- Brought to you in part by the
- 00:00:00.757 --> 00:00:02.459
- International fellowship of christians and jews.
- 00:00:02.459 --> 00:00:14.237
- I want to see an end to this ukrainian russian war.
- 00:00:15.238 --> 00:00:18.208
- Personally, i don't want us to send any more arms to ukraine.
- 00:00:18.208 --> 00:00:21.077
- But at the same time,
- 00:00:21.578 --> 00:00:24.380
- I want you, if you agree with me
- 00:00:24.380 --> 00:00:26.816
- In principle,
- 00:00:26.816 --> 00:00:29.719
- What would you do if you were president trump?
- 00:00:29.719 --> 00:00:33.056
- He's in a very difficult position here.
- 00:00:33.056 --> 00:00:35.825
- So let's walk through this because i've done
- 00:00:35.825 --> 00:00:38.061
- A lot of thinking about this.
- 00:00:38.061 --> 00:00:40.997
- So president trump started by trying to warm up
- 00:00:40.997 --> 00:00:44.234
- The relationship between vladimir putin and america.
- 00:00:44.234 --> 00:00:47.837
- Good phone calls kind of talking like more friendly.
- 00:00:47.837 --> 00:00:52.208
- Remember joe biden had that relationship dead.
- 00:00:52.208 --> 00:00:55.612
- That relationship was dead to rights.
- 00:00:55.612 --> 00:00:57.881
- We didn't even have a backchannel.
- 00:00:57.881 --> 00:01:00.250
- And right out of the gate there was a very bullish trend.
- 00:01:00.250 --> 00:01:03.786
- And he gave putin a huge leash.
- 00:01:04.420 --> 00:01:06.990
- And there's no better way to tick off president trump.
- 00:01:06.990 --> 00:01:10.360
- And honestly, it would tick me off
- 00:01:10.360 --> 00:01:11.861
- If i was in the chair.
- 00:01:11.861 --> 00:01:12.662
- I would take you off
- 00:01:12.662 --> 00:01:13.563
- If you were president, where you have
- 00:01:13.563 --> 00:01:15.698
- A great conversation with a foreign leader.
- 00:01:15.698 --> 00:01:17.333
- Oh, yes. everything's great. let's do a deal.
- 00:01:17.333 --> 00:01:19.068
- And then boom, vladimir putin is bombing
- 00:01:19.068 --> 00:01:21.871
- Churches on palm sunday, which did happen.
- 00:01:21.871 --> 00:01:25.975
- Now russia will say, well, you know,
- 00:01:26.776 --> 00:01:28.278
- There's been assassination attempts
- 00:01:28.278 --> 00:01:29.679
- Against us, and we're responding
- 00:01:29.679 --> 00:01:31.714
- In that capacity to that regard.
- 00:01:31.714 --> 00:01:33.783
- Okay? it's a war.
- 00:01:33.783 --> 00:01:34.851
- There's always, i guess, a couple sides to this,
- 00:01:34.851 --> 00:01:38.521
- But some open advice for vladimir putin
- 00:01:38.521 --> 00:01:40.957
- Don't play trump as a fool.
- 00:01:40.957 --> 00:01:42.692
- This is not joe biden.
- 00:01:42.692 --> 00:01:44.194
- This is not barack obama.
- 00:01:44.194 --> 00:01:46.062
- And so president trump has tried
- 00:01:46.763 --> 00:01:48.898
- Outright diplomacy multiple times.
- 00:01:48.898 --> 00:01:52.702
- Now, if you think about it, president
- 00:01:52.702 --> 00:01:54.037
- Trump does not want to see the russian army march
- 00:01:54.037 --> 00:01:57.707
- All the way to kiev on his watch.
- 00:01:57.707 --> 00:02:00.543
- I don't think anyone wants to see that.
- 00:02:00.543 --> 00:02:01.945
- That would not be good.
- 00:02:01.945 --> 00:02:03.646
- So it's a very difficult balance.
- 00:02:03.646 --> 00:02:05.715
- It's very difficult balance because of course,
- 00:02:05.715 --> 00:02:07.483
- Ukraine has not been forthright.
- 00:02:07.483 --> 00:02:08.751
- I mean, this guy is the greatest salesman since p.t.
- 00:02:08.751 --> 00:02:11.521
- Barnum.
- 00:02:11.521 --> 00:02:12.355
- He shows up to america,
- 00:02:12.355 --> 00:02:15.225
- You know, dressed
- 00:02:15.225 --> 00:02:16.226
- Like an uppity foreigner in a black t shirt,
- 00:02:16.226 --> 00:02:17.860
- And he ends up with $60 billion.
- 00:02:17.860 --> 00:02:19.796
- I mean, zelensky's the greatest salesman we've ever seen.
- 00:02:19.796 --> 00:02:23.700
- President trump wants to see the war end.
- 00:02:24.567 --> 00:02:27.403
- He doesn't want to see the war lost.
- 00:02:27.403 --> 00:02:31.007
- And as someone who honestly, i'm not, i'm kind of like,
- 00:02:31.007 --> 00:02:33.943
- I don't want to see more arms to ukraine.
- 00:02:33.943 --> 00:02:35.511
- I don't i've said that repeatedly.
- 00:02:35.511 --> 00:02:37.013
- Said under biden,
- 00:02:37.013 --> 00:02:38.314
- I have a great deal of compassion,
- 00:02:38.314 --> 00:02:39.983
- Understanding for president trump here.
- 00:02:39.983 --> 00:02:41.384
- And i'm not just saying that
- 00:02:41.384 --> 00:02:42.919
- Because he's a friend and i know him.
- 00:02:42.919 --> 00:02:44.754
- And if you disagree with me,
- 00:02:44.754 --> 00:02:45.989
- Then email me what you would do if you were president,
- 00:02:45.989 --> 00:02:49.058
- Because this is not an easy one.
- 00:02:49.058 --> 00:02:50.560
- This one's a toughie.
- 00:02:50.560 --> 00:02:52.328
- So president donald trump
- 00:02:52.328 --> 00:02:54.264
- Is doing
- 00:02:54.530 --> 00:02:55.498
- Rationally the most important thing of which
- 00:02:55.498 --> 00:02:58.568
- There is really no downside in the pursuit of diplomacy.
- 00:02:58.568 --> 00:03:02.739
- If you think about it, vladimir putin thinks
- 00:03:03.640 --> 00:03:06.909
- That he understands domestic american politics.
- 00:03:06.909 --> 00:03:10.213
- Here's vladimir putin's perspective.
- 00:03:10.213 --> 00:03:12.081
- He's not feeling
- 00:03:12.081 --> 00:03:13.249
- Russian angst,
- 00:03:13.249 --> 00:03:14.384
- As we've explained on the prior show,
- 00:03:14.384 --> 00:03:16.552
- Because he's getting all of his troops
- 00:03:16.552 --> 00:03:18.588
- In the rural parts of russia,
- 00:03:18.588 --> 00:03:20.256
- Not from moscow or saint petersburg,
- 00:03:20.256 --> 00:03:22.191
- Where the russian elites or oligarchs live.
- 00:03:22.191 --> 00:03:24.227
- So it's basically very poor chechnya's
- 00:03:24.227 --> 00:03:26.929
- That are dying in the war and are just being used
- 00:03:26.929 --> 00:03:29.332
- As cannon fodder for vladimir putin's agenda.
- 00:03:29.332 --> 00:03:32.602
- So vladimir putin is making a bet,
- 00:03:32.602 --> 00:03:34.671
- And here is the bet that vladimir putin is making.
- 00:03:34.671 --> 00:03:37.640
- He is betting that america does not have the stomach
- 00:03:37.640 --> 00:03:42.578
- To keep financing or to keep sending american weaponry.
- 00:03:42.578 --> 00:03:47.317
- Almost all of vladimir putin's political calculus
- 00:03:47.317 --> 00:03:52.155
- Is based around the first principle
- 00:03:52.155 --> 00:03:55.391
- That america domestically is done with this,
- 00:03:55.391 --> 00:03:59.062
- And he's going to seize on that,
- 00:03:59.062 --> 00:04:00.630
- And he's going to take advantage of it.
- 00:04:00.630 --> 00:04:03.132
- So president donald trump.
- 00:04:03.700 --> 00:04:06.836
- Is saying, no,
- 00:04:07.170 --> 00:04:08.071
- Your first principle is incorrect.
- 00:04:08.071 --> 00:04:11.007
- Play cut to 94.
- 00:04:11.007 --> 00:04:12.442
- Will these be patriot missiles specifically,
- 00:04:12.442 --> 00:04:14.310
- Or patriot batteries that you're planning?
- 00:04:14.310 --> 00:04:16.112
- And when you when you're raising it,
- 00:04:16.112 --> 00:04:18.448
- It's all it's a full complement with the batteries, you know.
- 00:04:18.448 --> 00:04:22.218
- And when you expect them to arrive in ukraine.
- 00:04:22.218 --> 00:04:24.854
- Well, we're going to have some come very soon.
- 00:04:24.854 --> 00:04:26.689
- Within days, actually,
- 00:04:26.689 --> 00:04:28.524
- A couple of the countries that have patriots
- 00:04:28.524 --> 00:04:31.194
- Are going to swap over
- 00:04:31.194 --> 00:04:32.762
- And will replace the patriots with the ones they have.
- 00:04:32.762 --> 00:04:35.598
- So president donald trump
- 00:04:36.165 --> 00:04:38.568
- Saying this.
- 00:04:38.568 --> 00:04:41.437
- Is now you as he
- 00:04:41.838 --> 00:04:43.106
- Now has a leverage point against vladimir putin.
- 00:04:43.106 --> 00:04:46.876
- Oh really? mr.
- 00:04:46.876 --> 00:04:48.044
- Putin, you're going to tell me that you want to do a deal
- 00:04:48.044 --> 00:04:50.146
- And you're starting to go bomb
- 00:04:50.146 --> 00:04:51.280
- Children's hospitals or whatever.
- 00:04:51.280 --> 00:04:52.615
- I mean, again, it's a warm
- 00:04:52.615 --> 00:04:53.950
- Ukraine's doing stuff they shouldn't be doing.
- 00:04:53.950 --> 00:04:55.785
- Russia's doing stuff they shouldn't be doing.
- 00:04:55.785 --> 00:04:58.187
- I'm not getting too into the details.
- 00:04:58.187 --> 00:04:59.722
- It's it's by the way, it's a very confusing war to follow.
- 00:04:59.722 --> 00:05:02.558
- 7000 people died last week, and we act like it's okay.
- 00:05:02.558 --> 00:05:06.396
- Oh, yeah. fined 7000.
- 00:05:06.396 --> 00:05:07.830
- 7000 people died,
- 00:05:07.830 --> 00:05:10.666
- And we just kind of shrug our shoulders.
- 00:05:11.534 --> 00:05:13.002
- We kind of roll our eyes over all that.
- 00:05:13.002 --> 00:05:17.306
- President donald trump continues,
- 00:05:18.040 --> 00:05:19.609
- And cut to 93, saying that he'll impose very severe
- 00:05:19.609 --> 00:05:22.745
- Tariffs of the 100% on russia if no deal is reached.
- 00:05:22.745 --> 00:05:26.849
- Play cut to 93.
- 00:05:26.849 --> 00:05:28.618
- I'm disappointed in president putin
- 00:05:28.618 --> 00:05:30.920
- Because i thought
- 00:05:30.920 --> 00:05:32.054
- We would have had a deal
- 00:05:32.054 --> 00:05:33.156
- Two months ago, but it doesn't seem to get there.
- 00:05:33.156 --> 00:05:36.259
- So based on that, we're going to be doing secondary tariffs.
- 00:05:36.259 --> 00:05:38.995
- If we don't have a deal in 50 days, it's very simple
- 00:05:38.995 --> 00:05:41.798
- And they'll be at 100%.
- 00:05:41.798 --> 00:05:44.167
- And that's the way it is.
- 00:05:44.167 --> 00:05:45.568
- That can be more support.
- 00:05:45.568 --> 00:05:46.936
- That's just the way it is.
- 00:05:46.936 --> 00:05:47.904
- I hope we don't have to do.
- 00:05:47.904 --> 00:05:50.273
- Now here's the argument that some are making.
- 00:05:50.273 --> 00:05:53.309
- Are you okay
- 00:05:53.643 --> 00:05:55.111
- With ukraine being conquered by russia
- 00:05:55.111 --> 00:05:58.214
- Completely?
- 00:05:58.214 --> 00:06:01.284
- And that is a very complicated question.
- 00:06:01.284 --> 00:06:04.620
- Now, are you okay morally or
- 00:06:04.620 --> 00:06:07.290
- Do you want to be involved militarily?
- 00:06:07.290 --> 00:06:10.293
- I'm of the opinion
- 00:06:10.726 --> 00:06:11.828
- That this is not our fight and this is not our war.
- 00:06:11.828 --> 00:06:14.630
- But president donald trump has to manage a global
- 00:06:14.630 --> 00:06:16.899
- Economy as well.
- 00:06:16.899 --> 00:06:17.967
- He wants to keep the dollar as the world reserve
- 00:06:17.967 --> 00:06:19.869
- Currency status.
- 00:06:19.869 --> 00:06:20.837
- This is not an easy one.
- 00:06:20.837 --> 00:06:22.905
- We need to aim for a cease fire.
- 00:06:22.905 --> 00:06:25.007
- And i think president
- 00:06:25.007 --> 00:06:26.108
- Donald trump has that as an ultimate destination.
- 00:06:26.108 --> 00:06:29.645
- And i also think president donald trump dismisses
- 00:06:29.645 --> 00:06:31.781
- Some of the more radical clamoring people.
- 00:06:31.781 --> 00:06:33.950
- Oh, yeah, he's going to roll tanks all the way into prague.
- 00:06:33.950 --> 00:06:36.185
- No, he's not just to stop it.
- 00:06:36.185 --> 00:06:37.620
- That's not going to happen.
- 00:06:37.620 --> 00:06:39.188
- Will he potentially take over ukraine?
- 00:06:39.188 --> 00:06:42.124
- And would it be a gut punch to the european psyche
- 00:06:42.124 --> 00:06:44.527
- And to continental europe? yes.
- 00:06:44.527 --> 00:06:47.497
- And so he's threading the needle.
- 00:06:48.264 --> 00:06:49.665
- And so putin
- 00:06:49.665 --> 00:06:50.800
- Basically is not taking what trump was saying seriously
- 00:06:50.800 --> 00:06:54.370
- Because putin was saying
- 00:06:54.370 --> 00:06:55.938
- Now he didn't say it, but he was acting as if,
- 00:06:55.938 --> 00:06:57.740
- Well, trump, you have no cards.
- 00:06:57.740 --> 00:06:59.442
- Well, now trump does have some cards actually.
- 00:06:59.442 --> 00:07:03.079
- And that's why he's doing the full complement.
- 00:07:03.079 --> 00:07:05.915
- Putin may be misreading the influence
- 00:07:05.915 --> 00:07:09.218
- Of some of the maga
- 00:07:09.218 --> 00:07:10.319
- Portion of the country that wants no involvement.
- 00:07:10.319 --> 00:07:13.256
- Ukraine.
- 00:07:13.256 --> 00:07:14.490
- That's why i think putin's his first principle is incorrect.
- 00:07:14.490 --> 00:07:18.194
- And so donald trump says, oh, you think you understand where
- 00:07:18.194 --> 00:07:20.963
- We're at?
- 00:07:20.963 --> 00:07:22.031
- Well, now i'm doing a full complement for ukraine.
- 00:07:22.031 --> 00:07:23.966
- Do you want to negotiate now, mr. putin?
- 00:07:23.966 --> 00:07:26.402
- So i have all the confidence that president donald trump
- 00:07:26.402 --> 00:07:29.472
- Is going to keep us out of any sort of kinetic dragging us.
- 00:07:29.472 --> 00:07:33.075
- And do i have no concern whatsoever the reason
- 00:07:33.075 --> 00:07:36.679
- Why iran i had so much concern
- 00:07:36.679 --> 00:07:38.281
- There was a lot of other reasons why with iran
- 00:07:38.281 --> 00:07:39.982
- This because we didn't know the rationality of iran.
- 00:07:39.982 --> 00:07:42.518
- Russia, i think, doesn't want it either.
- 00:07:42.518 --> 00:07:44.287
- That's the other thing.
- 00:07:44.287 --> 00:07:45.922
- Russia does
- 00:07:46.255 --> 00:07:47.089
- Not want a hot war against america.
- 00:07:47.089 --> 00:07:49.792
- But now president donald trump,
- 00:07:50.426 --> 00:07:52.061
- This is key has shifted the responsibility to europe.
- 00:07:52.061 --> 00:07:55.565
- That is key.
- 00:07:55.565 --> 00:08:00.002
- Lives are shattered in the holy land.
- 00:08:00.836 --> 00:08:04.273
- In an instant, these families lost everything.
- 00:08:04.273 --> 00:08:08.311
- The international fellowship
- 00:08:08.911 --> 00:08:10.346
- Of christians and jews is on the ground to provide
- 00:08:10.346 --> 00:08:13.716
- Food and shelter and emergency supplies and emergency.
- 00:08:13.716 --> 00:08:18.287
- The gift of $45 will help thousands
- 00:08:18.287 --> 00:08:21.324
- Of elderly and families with desperately needed food.
- 00:08:21.324 --> 00:08:24.660
- Call it or go online now.
- 00:08:24.660 --> 00:08:26.729
- Her whole body is bruised and wounded,
- 00:08:26.729 --> 00:08:30.499
- And it's very clear
- 00:08:30.499 --> 00:08:31.701
- That zelda is in no condition to find ways to get food.
- 00:08:31.701 --> 00:08:36.038
- Food is critical and so is shelter from attack.
- 00:08:36.038 --> 00:08:39.208
- The israeli government has asked the fellowship
- 00:08:39.208 --> 00:08:41.777
- To urgently place 1000 mobile bomb shelters.
- 00:08:41.777 --> 00:08:45.348
- You can place a mobile bomb shelter in israel.
- 00:08:45.348 --> 00:08:48.651
- Right now, all we need
- 00:08:48.651 --> 00:08:50.086
- Is for you to enable us to buy the shelters.
- 00:08:50.086 --> 00:08:53.689
- My friends, the destruction is unprecedented.
- 00:08:53.689 --> 00:08:57.059
- Please act now.
- 00:08:57.426 --> 00:08:59.695
- I'm terry hinshaw with 180 disaster relief
- 00:09:00.596 --> 00:09:03.733
- Since 2013 and the moore tornado.
- 00:09:03.733 --> 00:09:07.036
- We've been helping families in crisis.
- 00:09:07.036 --> 00:09:09.538
- People who go through floods, fires,
- 00:09:09.538 --> 00:09:12.041
- Hurricanes and all kinds of disasters
- 00:09:12.041 --> 00:09:15.211
- With plans to lift the fallen in a world that's for the poor.
- 00:09:15.211 --> 00:09:20.583
- Since the day after hurricane helene,
- 00:09:20.583 --> 00:09:22.518
- We've had boots on the ground.
- 00:09:22.518 --> 00:09:24.086
- It is so important
- 00:09:24.086 --> 00:09:25.021
- Because there's
- 00:09:25.021 --> 00:09:25.855
- So many families waiting right now
- 00:09:25.855 --> 00:09:27.690
- That still don't even have power.
- 00:09:27.690 --> 00:09:29.458
- They've lost all their furniture
- 00:09:29.458 --> 00:09:31.260
- And they don't have the resources to rebuild
- 00:09:31.260 --> 00:09:33.929
- Families finding shelter where there once was only pain.
- 00:09:33.929 --> 00:09:38.734
- Our focus is to help
- 00:09:38.734 --> 00:09:40.002
- People understand how much god loves and cares for them.
- 00:09:40.002 --> 00:09:43.973
- That they would know that they're not alone.
- 00:09:43.973 --> 00:09:46.442
- Go to the website at the bottom of your screen to give now.
- 00:09:46.442 --> 00:09:49.578
- Every dollar makes a difference.
- 00:09:49.578 --> 00:09:51.947
- Bringing hope in jesus name.
- 00:09:51.947 --> 00:09:54.784
- Together we can turn devastation into restoration.
- 00:09:54.784 --> 00:09:58.587
- One family at a time.
- 00:09:58.587 --> 00:10:00.010
- One family at a time.
- 00:10:00.010 --> 00:10:06.401
- Joining us
- 00:10:06.702 --> 00:10:07.669
- Now is a great friend and a great american

- Is sean parnell assistant to secdef for public affairs.
- 00:10:10.839 --> 00:10:14.576
- And sean parnell chief pentagon spokesman.
- 00:10:14.576 --> 00:10:17.212
- Sean, you're a great american.
- 00:10:17.212 --> 00:10:19.014
- Congratulations on all you're doing.
- 00:10:19.014 --> 00:10:20.982
- Sean, i'm so excited to have you on the program
- 00:10:20.982 --> 00:10:23.719
- Because our audience is
- 00:10:23.719 --> 00:10:24.886
- Very confused and they want to try
- 00:10:24.886 --> 00:10:26.755
- To get clarity on what's happening.
- 00:10:26.755 --> 00:10:28.890
- With the recent news with russia and ukraine.
- 00:10:28.890 --> 00:10:31.993
- And so i just want to give you an uninterrupted opportunity
- 00:10:31.993 --> 00:10:34.663
- To make the case and separate fact from fiction.
- 00:10:34.663 --> 00:10:37.766
- Sean parnell, assistant to secdef for public affairs.
- 00:10:37.766 --> 00:10:41.069
- Yeah.
- 00:10:41.303 --> 00:10:42.404
- Well, first of all, thanks for for having me, charlie.
- 00:10:42.404 --> 00:10:43.572
- It's great to be back on the show after a little hiatus.
- 00:10:43.572 --> 00:10:47.209
- You know.
- 00:10:47.509 --> 00:10:47.909
- Well, look,
- 00:10:47.909 --> 00:10:49.044
- The russia ukraine conflict has been a central focus
- 00:10:49.044 --> 00:10:52.914
- For president trump since he was on the campaign trail.
- 00:10:52.914 --> 00:10:56.084
- If you remember back to the very first interview
- 00:10:56.084 --> 00:10:58.420
- Where he had a town hall with kaitlan collins,
- 00:10:58.420 --> 00:11:00.388
- And she asked him the ambush question of like,
- 00:11:00.388 --> 00:11:02.424
- Do you want putin to win this war?
- 00:11:02.424 --> 00:11:04.459
- President trump responded with something
- 00:11:04.459 --> 00:11:06.628
- Very simple, yet also very profound.
- 00:11:06.628 --> 00:11:09.197
- And he said, i want people to stop dying.
- 00:11:09.197 --> 00:11:12.300
- What we've seen over the last year,
- 00:11:12.300 --> 00:11:14.035
- Hundreds of thousands of people
- 00:11:14.035 --> 00:11:15.504
- Dead in this, in this conflict and a central focus
- 00:11:15.504 --> 00:11:19.307
- Of president trump's second administration,
- 00:11:19.307 --> 00:11:22.544
- Is bringing this war to a peaceful resolution.
- 00:11:22.544 --> 00:11:25.313
- You heard president trump, from the oval office yesterday.
- 00:11:25.313 --> 00:11:27.849
- Clearly, he's he's
- 00:11:27.849 --> 00:11:29.084
- Frustrated with vladimir putin stringing along negotiations.
- 00:11:29.084 --> 00:11:32.187
- He doesn't seem like he's being serious.
- 00:11:32.187 --> 00:11:34.422
- And so what we've done at the department of defense
- 00:11:34.422 --> 00:11:36.691
- And at the president's direction in the direction
- 00:11:36.691 --> 00:11:39.761
- Is provide
- 00:11:39.761 --> 00:11:40.929
- A framework for munitions that we can send to ukraine
- 00:11:40.929 --> 00:11:43.532
- To help them defend themselves while the president pursues
- 00:11:43.532 --> 00:11:46.101
- Peace between russia and ukraine.
- 00:11:46.101 --> 00:11:48.236
- And that's all we've done.
- 00:11:48.236 --> 00:11:49.604
- And so,
- 00:11:49.604 --> 00:11:50.572
- We're going to continue to do that
- 00:11:50.572 --> 00:11:52.007
- And give the president robust options
- 00:11:52.007 --> 00:11:53.875
- As he pursues the peace.
- 00:11:53.875 --> 00:11:55.644
- So the the skepticism from the audience,
- 00:11:55.644 --> 00:11:58.847
- I would say, on the russia ukraine situation is that
- 00:11:58.847 --> 00:12:02.484
- They do not want to see
- 00:12:02.484 --> 00:12:03.552
- America embroiled into another quagmire.
- 00:12:03.552 --> 00:12:06.521
- I actually don't share that concern.
- 00:12:06.521 --> 00:12:08.590
- I trust the president. i trust you guys.
- 00:12:08.590 --> 00:12:10.692
- I think he demonstrated with iran that he has incredible
- 00:12:10.692 --> 00:12:14.296
- Wisdom and prudence to be able to navigate this.
- 00:12:14.296 --> 00:12:17.732
- So i don't share that concern.
- 00:12:17.732 --> 00:12:19.734
- I do potentially see,
- 00:12:19.734 --> 00:12:21.436
- You know, in war,
- 00:12:21.436 --> 00:12:22.337
- You have to enter things with humility
- 00:12:22.337 --> 00:12:23.839
- Because things can get out of control.
- 00:12:23.839 --> 00:12:25.740
- And all of a sudden, you know, nato article five could,
- 00:12:25.740 --> 00:12:29.010
- I guess, get triggered.
- 00:12:29.010 --> 00:12:30.645
- Also,
- 00:12:30.645 --> 00:12:31.813
- The audience does not like the idea of giving away money.
- 00:12:31.813 --> 00:12:35.217
- So is this a purchase agreement?
- 00:12:35.217 --> 00:12:37.352
- Can you explain that this is a purchase, not a giveaway?
- 00:12:37.352 --> 00:12:41.289
- Yeah, it's such a great point.
- 00:12:41.890 --> 00:12:43.391
- So yeah, i mean, basically these are weapons
- 00:12:43.391 --> 00:12:46.928
- Made in america purchased by nato.
- 00:12:46.928 --> 00:12:49.898
- So this that's that's just what this framework provides for.
- 00:12:49.898 --> 00:12:54.135
- And to your point about the base in the audience.
- 00:12:54.135 --> 00:12:57.038
- I completely understand the skepticism and the fear.
- 00:12:57.038 --> 00:13:00.108
- As someone
- 00:13:00.408 --> 00:13:01.042
- Who fought in afghanistan
- 00:13:01.042 --> 00:13:02.344
- For 16 straight months in to watch afghanistan
- 00:13:02.344 --> 00:13:05.213
- Surrendered in 2021 was horrific.
- 00:13:05.213 --> 00:13:08.516
- It hurts my soul just to think about it.
- 00:13:08.516 --> 00:13:10.652
- And you look at american foreign policy in the 20th
- 00:13:10.652 --> 00:13:13.188
- And 21st century, whether it's toppling autocrats from egypt
- 00:13:13.188 --> 00:13:16.124
- To libya to to syria to iraq and afghanistan,
- 00:13:16.124 --> 00:13:19.628
- None of that has paid off.
- 00:13:19.628 --> 00:13:21.029
- Well, for for america,
- 00:13:21.029 --> 00:13:24.499
- And especially when you look
- 00:13:24.499 --> 00:13:25.634
- At our wars in iraq and afghanistan, what do we have?
- 00:13:25.634 --> 00:13:27.736
- You ask yourself, what do we have to show for those wars?
- 00:13:27.736 --> 00:13:29.804
- After being embroiled for over a decade
- 00:13:29.804 --> 00:13:31.740
- In afghanistan, almost 20 years,
- 00:13:31.740 --> 00:13:33.208
- We have thousands of americans dead,
- 00:13:33.208 --> 00:13:35.510
- Tens of thousands of americans suffering from the invisible
- 00:13:35.510 --> 00:13:38.213
- Wounds of war,
- 00:13:38.213 --> 00:13:39.080
- And hundreds of thousands of families
- 00:13:39.080 --> 00:13:40.916
- Who are affected by this conflict.
- 00:13:40.916 --> 00:13:42.817
- And again, what do we have to show for it?
- 00:13:42.817 --> 00:13:45.287
- So the skepticism is
- 00:13:45.287 --> 00:13:46.888
- The fear from the audience is certainly warranted.
- 00:13:46.888 --> 00:13:49.291
- But i think you have to to think back to
- 00:13:49.291 --> 00:13:51.259
- What president trump has said and done in his first term.
- 00:13:51.259 --> 00:13:53.561
- He was a president of peace with the abraham
- 00:13:53.561 --> 00:13:56.131
- Abraham accords in his first term,
- 00:13:56.131 --> 00:13:57.999
- And he's pursuing a path of peace here.
- 00:13:57.999 --> 00:13:59.668
- In a second look at the houthi operation in the red sea.
- 00:13:59.668 --> 00:14:03.171
- You had a clearly defined mission and an end state.
- 00:14:03.171 --> 00:14:06.107
- Look at the iran operation with operation midnight hammer.
- 00:14:06.107 --> 00:14:09.144
- You had a clearly defined mission and an end state.
- 00:14:09.144 --> 00:14:12.213
- So for president trump, peace is his focus.
- 00:14:12.213 --> 00:14:15.350
- But in order to pursue peace and to give yourself
- 00:14:15.350 --> 00:14:17.886
- The strongest hand available at the negotiating table,
- 00:14:17.886 --> 00:14:20.422
- You have to be strong.
- 00:14:20.422 --> 00:14:22.157
- And that is exactly what president trump
- 00:14:22.157 --> 00:14:23.858
- Is signaling in this russia ukraine fight,
- 00:14:23.858 --> 00:14:25.994
- So that he can set the conditions
- 00:14:25.994 --> 00:14:27.429
- For peace moving forward.
- 00:14:27.429 --> 00:14:28.763
- And by the way, i fully trust the president.
- 00:14:28.763 --> 00:14:31.333
- He has never once violated
- 00:14:31.333 --> 00:14:33.034
- The trust of this country or the american people.
- 00:14:33.034 --> 00:14:36.104
- That's why
- 00:14:36.104 --> 00:14:36.738
- People love this president
- 00:14:36.738 --> 00:14:38.039
- When he says something on the campaign trail.
- 00:14:38.039 --> 00:14:40.442
- He makes good on the promise when he's in office.
- 00:14:40.442 --> 00:14:43.378
- And by the way,
- 00:14:43.378 --> 00:14:44.312
- That's something that has been very different
- 00:14:44.312 --> 00:14:45.513
- From republicans and democrats administrations in the past.
- 00:14:45.513 --> 00:14:47.782
- When the president says something, he actually does it
- 00:14:47.782 --> 00:14:50.051
- And keeps keeps his promise that that is correct.
- 00:14:50.051 --> 00:14:52.487
- And that is true.
- 00:14:52.487 --> 00:14:53.455
- So so, sean, nato is purchasing the money.
- 00:14:53.455 --> 00:14:56.491
- And is it fair to say that this is going to be
- 00:14:56.491 --> 00:14:58.393
- A europe, european led purchase?
- 00:14:58.393 --> 00:15:01.296
- Because obviously we give a lot of money to nato?
- 00:15:01.296 --> 00:15:03.264
- I know that europe is giving more and more money to nato.
- 00:15:03.264 --> 00:15:06.267
- So is it nato buying the weapons?
- 00:15:06.267 --> 00:15:08.436
- Will it be mainly germany?
- 00:15:08.436 --> 00:15:09.938
- So kind of walk us through just a little bit.
- 00:15:09.938 --> 00:15:12.340
- There might be classified stuff here,
- 00:15:12.340 --> 00:15:13.675
- But i bet most of this is public
- 00:15:13.675 --> 00:15:15.443
- Kind of the scope of the deal.
- 00:15:15.443 --> 00:15:18.113
- Well, so so first of all,
- 00:15:18.680 --> 00:15:20.782
- We should give credit where credit's due
- 00:15:20.782 --> 00:15:22.917
- To the secretary of defense,
- 00:15:22.917 --> 00:15:24.719
- Who has made it a focus of his tenure as secdef
- 00:15:24.719 --> 00:15:28.790
- To ask the europeans to do more.
- 00:15:28.790 --> 00:15:31.459
- It asks the europe, the europeans, to step up
- 00:15:31.459 --> 00:15:33.995
- And spend more on defense between 3.5 and now 5%.
- 00:15:33.995 --> 00:15:37.465
- I would also add that four months ago,
- 00:15:37.465 --> 00:15:40.168
- People people were saying that it was not possible.
- 00:15:40.168 --> 00:15:43.338
- People were throwing
- 00:15:43.338 --> 00:15:44.172
- Shade at the secdef and saying that
- 00:15:44.172 --> 00:15:45.473
- He couldn't get it done,
- 00:15:45.473 --> 00:15:46.508
- But he did in conjunction with the president.
- 00:15:46.508 --> 00:15:48.410
- So we have our european
- 00:15:48.410 --> 00:15:50.145
- Allies right now committed to spend more on their defense.
- 00:15:50.145 --> 00:15:53.148
- And part of that deal is buying american weapons from america
- 00:15:53.148 --> 00:15:57.018
- Manufactured in america
- 00:15:57.018 --> 00:15:58.453
- As part of this framework
- 00:15:58.453 --> 00:15:59.721
- To help support ukraine while he pursues peace.
- 00:15:59.721 --> 00:16:02.424
- And as i understand it, like this deal is very much,
- 00:16:02.424 --> 00:16:05.427
- It's very much in the early stages, right?
- 00:16:05.427 --> 00:16:09.931
- But you have different nato countries
- 00:16:09.931 --> 00:16:12.100
- Wholeheartedly on board with committing with with
- 00:16:12.100 --> 00:16:15.570
- Giving their their resources financial resources,
- 00:16:15.570 --> 00:16:19.374
- Through uk to nato, which will then in
- 00:16:19.374 --> 00:16:21.576
- Turn be weapons to ukraine and moneys back to the u.s.
- 00:16:21.576 --> 00:16:24.112
- Treasury.
- 00:16:24.112 --> 00:16:25.180
- So again, this is a good deal for the country.
- 00:16:25.180 --> 00:16:28.083
- It's in keeping
- 00:16:28.083 --> 00:16:28.917
- With the national defense strategy
- 00:16:28.917 --> 00:16:31.086
- Of asking for our allies to do more
- 00:16:31.086 --> 00:16:33.388
- While we can shift our focus
- 00:16:33.388 --> 00:16:34.722
- To the indo-pacific, where we think it belongs.
- 00:16:34.722 --> 00:16:37.058
- And i love that because, look, it's got up.
- 00:16:37.058 --> 00:16:38.793
- It's got to be all eyes on the rise of china,
- 00:16:38.793 --> 00:16:41.529
- The chinese communist party, about their potential,
- 00:16:41.529 --> 00:16:44.432
- You know, military incursion with taiwan.
- 00:16:44.432 --> 00:16:47.469
- Yeah.
- 00:16:47.702 --> 00:16:48.603
- And charlie, it's the most you're right.
- 00:16:48.603 --> 00:16:49.604
- It's the most pragmatic thing in the world.
- 00:16:49.604 --> 00:16:51.573
- Like this is america first does not mean america alone.
- 00:16:51.573 --> 00:16:55.910
- And if the threats that we face in this world evolve
- 00:16:55.910 --> 00:16:58.813
- And they evolve quickly, and the threats we think,
- 00:16:58.813 --> 00:17:01.916
- You know, a near peer adversary in china represents a
- 00:17:01.916 --> 00:17:05.053
- What is a very real threat to america and its interests.
- 00:17:05.053 --> 00:17:08.256
- China has said from the very they made it part of their
- 00:17:08.256 --> 00:17:11.659
- Of their strategic calculation
- 00:17:11.659 --> 00:17:13.228
- To be the world's lone superpower.
- 00:17:13.228 --> 00:17:14.996
- And we want to do everything that we can to to stop that
- 00:17:14.996 --> 00:17:18.133
- And keep america the number one lone superpower in the world.
- 00:17:18.133 --> 00:17:21.836
- Because america, by and large, is a force for good.
- 00:17:21.836 --> 00:17:24.339
- In order to do that, we have to ask our allies to do
- 00:17:24.339 --> 00:17:27.509
- More as our allies to be good friends and good partners
- 00:17:27.509 --> 00:17:31.045
- While we shift our focus to, to, to the indo-pacific,
- 00:17:31.045 --> 00:17:34.682
- Which is, again, where we think it belongs.
- 00:17:34.682 --> 00:17:38.620
- Over the years, i've been clear about this.
- 00:17:39.521 --> 00:17:41.356
- I'm not just pro birth.
- 00:17:41.356 --> 00:17:42.423
- I'm pro-life.
- 00:17:42.423 --> 00:17:43.458
- And being pro-life means standing with mothers
- 00:17:43.458 --> 00:17:45.360
- Not only before the baby is born, but long after.
- 00:17:45.360 --> 00:17:48.196
- That's exactly why i partner with preborn.
- 00:17:48.196 --> 00:17:50.665
- Preborn doesn't just save babies,
- 00:17:50.665 --> 00:17:52.300
- They make motherhood abundantly possible.
- 00:17:52.300 --> 00:17:54.202
- They provide free ultrasounds and share
- 00:17:54.202 --> 00:17:56.004
- The truth, the gospel, with women in crisis.
- 00:17:56.004 --> 00:17:58.573
- And then they stay with real practical help,
- 00:17:58.573 --> 00:18:01.209
- Including financial support
- 00:18:01.209 --> 00:18:02.510
- For up to two years after the baby is born.
- 00:18:02.510 --> 00:18:04.913
- This is what true, christ centered compassion looks like,
- 00:18:04.913 --> 00:18:07.949
- Not just for the baby, but for the mother too.
- 00:18:07.949 --> 00:18:10.185
- And here's where you can make a difference.
- 00:18:10.185 --> 00:18:12.120
- Just $28 provides a free, life saving ultrasound.
- 00:18:12.120 --> 00:18:15.356
- One chance for a mother to see her baby
- 00:18:15.356 --> 00:18:17.091
- When when she does, she's twice as likely to choose life.
- 00:18:17.091 --> 00:18:19.827
- So don't just say you're pro-life.
- 00:18:19.827 --> 00:18:21.429
- Live it. help save babies and support mothers today.
- 00:18:21.429 --> 00:18:24.065
- Go to preborn.com/charlie or call (855)â–ˆ601-2229.
- 00:18:24.065 --> 00:18:28.770
- That's preborn.com/charlie
- 00:18:28.770 --> 00:18:30.872
- Or call (855)â–ˆ601-2229 preborn.com/charlie.
- 00:18:30.872 --> 00:18:38.746
- I'm coming to you with an urgent message
- 00:18:39.614 --> 00:18:41.516
- From our partners at the international fellowship
- 00:18:41.516 --> 00:18:43.551
- Of christians and jews,
- 00:18:43.551 --> 00:18:44.919
- Who are doing extraordinary work in israel right now.
- 00:18:44.919 --> 00:18:47.622
- For now, the missiles have stopped
- 00:18:47.622 --> 00:18:49.224
- With the current cease fire in israel,
- 00:18:49.224 --> 00:18:51.025
- But the needs remain overwhelming.
- 00:18:51.025 --> 00:18:53.094
- Entire neighborhoods in israel's
- 00:18:53.094 --> 00:18:54.495
- Largest cities are devastated with unprecedented destruction.
- 00:18:54.495 --> 00:18:57.498
- Thousands of civilians
- 00:18:57.498 --> 00:18:58.700
- And families have been forced to flee
- 00:18:58.700 --> 00:19:00.201
- Their homes, often with
- 00:19:00.201 --> 00:19:01.469
- Little more than the clothes they're wearing.
- 00:19:01.469 --> 00:19:03.404
- The lives of many of the elderly hang
- 00:19:03.404 --> 00:19:05.340
- In the balance, like 90 year old zelda,
- 00:19:05.340 --> 00:19:07.408
- Whose once peaceful home lies in ruins.
- 00:19:07.408 --> 00:19:09.777
- But the fellowship is there,
- 00:19:09.777 --> 00:19:11.145
- Offering critical aid to zelda and thousands like her.
- 00:19:11.145 --> 00:19:14.015
- Right now,
- 00:19:14.015 --> 00:19:15.016
- The fellowship continues with full operations
- 00:19:15.016 --> 00:19:16.517
- On the ground,
- 00:19:16.517 --> 00:19:17.352
- Working around the clock to provide
- 00:19:17.352 --> 00:19:18.753
- Emergency food, shelter, and critical supplies
- 00:19:18.753 --> 00:19:20.955
- To people in need.
- 00:19:20.955 --> 00:19:22.090
- But they need your help to keep going.
- 00:19:22.090 --> 00:19:23.691
- That's why i'm asking our tbn family
- 00:19:23.691 --> 00:19:25.627
- To join with me in this critical hour by
- 00:19:25.627 --> 00:19:27.729
- Going to ifc for an emergency gift of just $45
- 00:19:27.729 --> 00:19:31.766
- Can help provide lifesaving food,
- 00:19:31.766 --> 00:19:33.534
- Mobile bomb shelters, or urgently
- 00:19:33.534 --> 00:19:35.270
- Needed supplies to someone in israel who's struggling.
- 00:19:35.270 --> 00:19:37.905
- Any amount is needed and greatly appreciated by israel.
- 00:19:37.905 --> 00:19:40.708
- It's critical
- 00:19:40.708 --> 00:19:41.743
- That the support of the fellowship be supported,
- 00:19:41.743 --> 00:19:44.245
- Especially now as israel works to restore dignity and safety
- 00:19:44.245 --> 00:19:48.149
- To families who have endured so much.
- 00:19:48.149 --> 00:19:49.984
- Let's come together and pray for the peace of jerusalem,
- 00:19:49.984 --> 00:19:52.620
- And show god's love to his people
- 00:19:52.620 --> 00:19:54.322
- In this unprecedented time of need.
- 00:19:54.322 --> 00:19:56.457
- Every dollar matters, every moment counts.
- 00:19:56.457 --> 00:19:58.793
- To give, visit ifc.org.
- 00:19:58.793 --> 00:20:00.662
- Right now that's ifc walk.
- 00:20:00.662 --> 00:20:02.730
- Please give whatever you can to support israel today.
- 00:20:02.730 --> 00:20:05.466
- Don't wait.
- 00:20:05.466 --> 00:20:06.134
- Your christian support in action
- 00:20:06.134 --> 00:20:09.010
- Your christian support in action
- 00:20:09.010 --> 00:20:12.746
- Okay, so so, sean, now i
- 00:20:13.280 --> 00:20:14.815
- Want to talk about the one big beautiful bill.
- 00:20:14.815 --> 00:20:16.450
- I want to give you an opportunity to make the case
- 00:20:16.450 --> 00:20:18.786
- For the increase in defense spending.
- 00:20:18.786 --> 00:20:20.821
- Obviously, we're behind the president.
- 00:20:20.821 --> 00:20:22.122
- One of the beautiful bill was awesome.
- 00:20:22.122 --> 00:20:23.657
- But one thing i'll just say little whispers and murmurs,
- 00:20:23.657 --> 00:20:26.093
- Especially among some of the younger demo,
- 00:20:26.093 --> 00:20:28.395
- Is they say, do we really need to now
- 00:20:28.395 --> 00:20:29.963
- Go to $1 trillion on the defense budget?
- 00:20:29.963 --> 00:20:32.833
- Can you talk about
- 00:20:32.833 --> 00:20:34.001
- Where this money will be spend spent, where it is going,
- 00:20:34.001 --> 00:20:36.904
- And how you believe
- 00:20:36.904 --> 00:20:38.405
- This is necessary to fortify national security?
- 00:20:38.405 --> 00:20:41.842
- Well, i mean, look,
- 00:20:42.309 --> 00:20:43.577
- The things that we're doing in the department of defense
- 00:20:43.577 --> 00:20:46.213
- Right now, and i'll say that in the first six months of the
- 00:20:46.213 --> 00:20:49.950
- Tenure here at the pentagon, he's
- 00:20:49.950 --> 00:20:51.218
- Done more than most secretaries
- 00:20:51.218 --> 00:20:52.753
- Have done in the last four years.
- 00:20:52.753 --> 00:20:54.855
- The changes that he is making here
- 00:20:54.855 --> 00:20:56.690
- In the pentagon will be generational.
- 00:20:56.690 --> 00:20:59.059
- I mean, he's making the pentagon,
- 00:20:59.059 --> 00:21:00.761
- And i think our country in the world a better place
- 00:21:00.761 --> 00:21:02.996
- By some of these changes and removing red tape.
- 00:21:02.996 --> 00:21:05.366
- So when you look at our overall budget,
- 00:21:05.366 --> 00:21:07.534
- We need to have a budget
- 00:21:07.534 --> 00:21:08.602
- That supports that, that that unbelievable change.
- 00:21:08.602 --> 00:21:11.505
- Right.
- 00:21:11.505 --> 00:21:12.339
- And so we're investing in historic
- 00:21:12.339 --> 00:21:13.240
- Things like f 40 7a6 generation fighter.
- 00:21:13.240 --> 00:21:16.343
- We're investing in things that have never been done
- 00:21:16.343 --> 00:21:18.412
- Before with multiple manhattan projects.
- 00:21:18.412 --> 00:21:20.547
- And golden dome for america to protect our homeland.
- 00:21:20.547 --> 00:21:23.951
- We're talking about
- 00:21:23.951 --> 00:21:25.052
- We're talking about reinvesting in things
- 00:21:25.052 --> 00:21:27.254
- Or investing in things that have that
- 00:21:27.254 --> 00:21:28.722
- We've never invested in before.
- 00:21:28.722 --> 00:21:29.990
- Charlie and so we've got to give the sector
- 00:21:29.990 --> 00:21:33.160
- The resources
- 00:21:33.160 --> 00:21:34.261
- That he needs to to accomplish the president's vision.
- 00:21:34.261 --> 00:21:36.730
- And that's part of the reason
- 00:21:36.730 --> 00:21:37.865
- Why we have the resources that we do in this budget.
- 00:21:37.865 --> 00:21:40.801
- In closing here, sean,
- 00:21:40.801 --> 00:21:43.036
- Talk about the increase of military recruitment.
- 00:21:43.036 --> 00:21:45.606
- That is it's one of my favorite things.
- 00:21:45.606 --> 00:21:47.207
- I, i told pete this privately and publicly.
- 00:21:47.207 --> 00:21:49.743
- I said, pete,
- 00:21:49.743 --> 00:21:50.778
- You guys should be talking about this every day
- 00:21:50.778 --> 00:21:52.446
- Because that right there, it's better
- 00:21:52.446 --> 00:21:54.047
- Than, you know, some rasmussen poll
- 00:21:54.047 --> 00:21:55.983
- Or some sort of, you know, morning consult poll.
- 00:21:55.983 --> 00:21:58.852
- The president has said this
- 00:21:58.852 --> 00:21:59.953
- To me before as well, which is the best indicator
- 00:21:59.953 --> 00:22:03.724
- Of national morale, strengthening of the ability
- 00:22:03.724 --> 00:22:07.161
- To see whether or not
- 00:22:07.161 --> 00:22:08.362
- People believe in america and they want to serve
- 00:22:08.362 --> 00:22:11.398
- The country is military recruitment.
- 00:22:11.398 --> 00:22:14.334
- Remember, after nine over 11,
- 00:22:14.334 --> 00:22:15.636
- Military recruitment went straight up.
- 00:22:15.636 --> 00:22:17.971
- Right.
- 00:22:17.971 --> 00:22:19.139
- We've seen this at different times in american history.
- 00:22:19.139 --> 00:22:21.208
- And also in the midst
- 00:22:21.208 --> 00:22:22.876
- Of vietnam, voluntary military recruitment went down.
- 00:22:22.876 --> 00:22:26.647
- Voluntary military recruitment started to go down towards
- 00:22:26.647 --> 00:22:29.483
- The end of the iraq war.
- 00:22:29.483 --> 00:22:30.818
- It also was at record low levels per percentage
- 00:22:30.818 --> 00:22:33.787
- Under joe biden, especially after the guest
- 00:22:33.787 --> 00:22:37.758
- Afghanistan withdrawal, where is it now?
- 00:22:37.758 --> 00:22:40.961
- And brag on the success
- 00:22:40.961 --> 00:22:44.398
- Of the increase of the, military recruitment.
- 00:22:44.398 --> 00:22:49.436
- So. right now, i'm co-chairing the recruiting task
- 00:22:49.436 --> 00:22:51.805
- Force here at the department of defense,
- 00:22:51.805 --> 00:22:53.106
- Force wide,
- 00:22:53.106 --> 00:22:54.041
- So we could probably do another interview,
- 00:22:54.041 --> 00:22:55.209
- Deep dive on all of this, because it's an interesting yet
- 00:22:55.209 --> 00:22:58.178
- Complicated topic.
- 00:22:58.178 --> 00:22:59.513
- But you are absolutely right.
- 00:22:59.513 --> 00:23:01.281
- The proof is in the pudding. and
- 00:23:01.281 --> 00:23:04.218
- As it pertains to recruiting, leadership matters.
- 00:23:04.218 --> 00:23:06.987
- So take our let's let's go back a year
- 00:23:06.987 --> 00:23:09.656
- Where president trump was almost assassinated
- 00:23:09.656 --> 00:23:11.992
- On that stage in butler under fire.
- 00:23:11.992 --> 00:23:13.861
- You don't know even
- 00:23:13.861 --> 00:23:15.095
- Even people
- 00:23:15.095 --> 00:23:16.029
- That have all the training in the world
- 00:23:16.029 --> 00:23:17.197
- Don't know how they're going to react under under fire.
- 00:23:17.197 --> 00:23:19.433
- President trump was almost assassinated on that day.
- 00:23:19.433 --> 00:23:22.169
- And within seconds of being shot, the president
- 00:23:22.169 --> 00:23:25.172
- Stood up, pumped his fist, looked out to the crowd,
- 00:23:25.172 --> 00:23:28.008
- Looked out to our country, looked out to the world
- 00:23:28.008 --> 00:23:30.344
- And said, fight, fight, fight defiantly.
- 00:23:30.344 --> 00:23:32.980
- So you juxtapose that image with the image of of biden,
- 00:23:32.980 --> 00:23:36.283
- His predecessor before him,
- 00:23:36.283 --> 00:23:38.185
- Who is an animated corpse, had to be dipped
- 00:23:38.185 --> 00:23:40.020
- In the lazarus pit every day.
- 00:23:40.020 --> 00:23:41.421
- Every day it was less and less effected.
- 00:23:41.421 --> 00:23:43.223
- Hardly an inspiring figure.
- 00:23:43.223 --> 00:23:44.958
- And by the way, a week after president
- 00:23:44.958 --> 00:23:46.326
- Trump was almost assassinated,
- 00:23:46.326 --> 00:23:47.995
- Biden resigns the presidency in a pdf on social media,
- 00:23:47.995 --> 00:23:51.298
- Which is almost the equivalent of writing
- 00:23:51.298 --> 00:23:52.966
- I quit on a napkin at work before you leave.
- 00:23:52.966 --> 00:23:55.469
- I mean, biden
- 00:23:55.469 --> 00:23:56.603
- Embodied weakness, president trump and body strength.
- 00:23:56.603 --> 00:24:00.274
- Likewise, so too does secretary haig says.
- 00:24:00.274 --> 00:24:03.443
- And when you embody strength, it inspires people to say,
- 00:24:03.443 --> 00:24:06.747
- Hey, i want to serve under that commander in chief.
- 00:24:06.747 --> 00:24:09.583
- I want to serve under the secretary of defense.
- 00:24:09.583 --> 00:24:11.985
- And that is the reason why
- 00:24:11.985 --> 00:24:13.620
- Our recruiting right now has been historic.
- 00:24:13.620 --> 00:24:16.557
- And i don't think there's going to be any end in sight.
- 00:24:16.557 --> 00:24:18.859
- Charlie. sean parnell. great work.
- 00:24:18.859 --> 00:24:20.561
- Thank you so much.
- 00:24:20.561 --> 00:24:21.628
- Talk to you soon. you're welcome any time here.
- 00:24:21.628 --> 00:24:23.463
- And make sure you keep those recruitment numbers up.
- 00:24:23.463 --> 00:24:26.066
- It's very important.
- 00:24:26.066 --> 00:24:26.733
- Thank you so much on piano.
- 00:24:26.733 --> 00:24:28.302
- Got it. excellent. great guy.
- 00:24:28.302 --> 00:24:32.573
- Every day brings a new
- 00:24:33.040 --> 00:24:34.675
- Headline questioning israel's right to defend herself.
- 00:24:34.675 --> 00:24:37.611
- But behind the politics is simple truth.
- 00:24:37.611 --> 00:24:39.546
- Israel security
- 00:24:39.546 --> 00:24:40.747
- Is possibly the most complex anywhere in the world.
- 00:24:40.747 --> 00:24:43.283
- On october 7th,
- 00:24:43.283 --> 00:24:44.451
- We saw just how much depends on the brave men and women
- 00:24:44.451 --> 00:24:47.020
- Who are ready to act when every second counts.
- 00:24:47.020 --> 00:24:49.590
- Israel's first responders are the heroes
- 00:24:49.590 --> 00:24:51.892
- Who run towards danger, not away from it.
- 00:24:51.892 --> 00:24:54.294
- And even now, nearly two years later,
- 00:24:54.294 --> 00:24:56.096
- Israel is still under fire daily
- 00:24:56.096 --> 00:24:57.831
- With rocket attacks, border threats and acts of terror.
- 00:24:57.831 --> 00:25:00.367
- These frontline defenders
- 00:25:00.367 --> 00:25:01.468
- Need our help through
- 00:25:01.468 --> 00:25:02.603
- The international fellowship for christians and jews.
- 00:25:02.603 --> 00:25:05.138
- You can provide lifesaving emergency gear
- 00:25:05.138 --> 00:25:07.074
- That helps you keep them ready and protected.
- 00:25:07.074 --> 00:25:09.409
- Armored security vehicles, trauma kits.
- 00:25:09.409 --> 00:25:11.445
- Mobile bomb shelters. flak jackets.
- 00:25:11.445 --> 00:25:13.280
- Your support delivers
- 00:25:13.280 --> 00:25:14.181
- To help directly where it's needed most.
- 00:25:14.181 --> 00:25:15.849
- I fully support the fellowship.
- 00:25:15.849 --> 00:25:17.351
- It's one of a kind ministry that has my full support.
- 00:25:17.351 --> 00:25:19.786
- Go to ifk jorg right now and stand with israel's heroes
- 00:25:19.786 --> 00:25:23.323
- While they stand in the line of fire.
- 00:25:23.323 --> 00:25:23.323
