  Speaker 1: We are not exporting. We are not exporting enrichment capability
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: to the Saudis. These are civilian nuclear power plants as
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: the Saudis look to diversify. But the difference is they've
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: signed up for full inspections. There is no enrichment. Compare
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: that with what's going on in Iran, the largest state
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: sponsor of terrorism, kicking out the inspectors. This is about
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: civilian nuclear power, very different than Iran's obsession.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: Republican's maintained. President Trump is executing his peace through Strength
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: playbook by signing an historic agreement with Saudi Arabia. Hello everyone,
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: and welcome to the final hour of the Big weekend show.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: Tensions remain elevated in the Middle East after Huki rebels
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: launched an attack striking Saudi oil facilities with dozens of
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: ballistic missiles and drones. This all comes as the United
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: States and Saudi Arabia signed their nuclear agreement, giving American
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: companies priority to build reactors in the country. Head of
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: his Tuesday meeting with President Trump at the White House,
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: is Raeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanya, who is praising the deal.
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: I think President Trump was absolutely right in stating that condition.
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: You know that Saudi Arabia would get a civilian nuclear
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: program in exchange for a normalization of relations with Israel.
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: It's a great achievement, historic achievement, and obviously we'll be
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: delighted if we could extend it to Saudi Arabia and
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: other countries. And I think if we weaken Iran further,
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: we will.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: Meanwhile, democrats are critical.
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: We're going to have more nuclear weapons in the Middle
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: East to set off another nuclear arms race there.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: But if Saudi Arabia has no does not need all
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: the proto cause et cetera, deny could cause.
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: An arms race where Egyptians or others in the area
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: wants in nuclear.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: Weapen he's going to provide the materials for nuclear weapons
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: to Saudi Arabia.
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: Is the dawn of a new nuclear ams race in
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: the Middle East.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: Joining us for tonight's big close up is a member
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: of the House Armed Services Committee, Senator Armed Services Committee
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: and Indiana Senator Jim Banks, Senator, thank you so much
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: for joining us this evening. I want to get your
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: take first. Are you waiting to hear some more details
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: from the administration on what this agreement is?
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: Do you support it?
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: And do you support the timing of it.
• 2:24
  Speaker 5: Well, Saudi Arabia is an ally, an important ally to
• 2:27
  Speaker 5: the United States. And by the way, the hu This
• 2:30
  Speaker 5: and Iran have turned almost all of the rest of
• 2:33
  Speaker 5: the Middle East into stronger allies with the United States.
• 2:37
  Speaker 5: That's the good news. And if President Trump can expand
• 2:40
  Speaker 5: on the Abraham Accords from the first Trump term by
• 2:44
  Speaker 5: normalizing relations with Israel and Saudi Arabia, the Middle East
• 2:48
  Speaker 5: will be as strong and peaceful as it's ever been,
• 2:51
  Speaker 5: as we continue to maintain that Iran will ever have
• 2:53
  Speaker 5: a nuclear weapons. So get President Trump a lot of
• 2:56
  Speaker 5: credit here in what he's done to foster and grow
• 3:00
  Speaker 5: peace agreements, strengthening the Abraham Accords. It's really probably the
• 3:05
  Speaker 5: most significant thing that he did in the first term,
• 3:07
  Speaker 5: and he's only expanding upon it in this term as well.
• 3:10
  Speaker 5: Of course, the Democrats hate it. They hate the idea
• 3:13
  Speaker 5: that President Trump will be the one who will go
• 3:15
  Speaker 5: down in history who will negotiate peace in the Middle East.
• 3:19
  Speaker 5: But that's exactly what President Trump has done.
• 3:21
  Speaker 6: The Senator, I'm looking at markets right now when WTI
• 3:25
  Speaker 6: is that eighty four brent Is briefly did below ninety.
• 3:30
  Speaker 6: We were close to one hundred on Friday. Looks like
• 3:33
  Speaker 6: after a couple nights of not striking Iran, I think
• 3:36
  Speaker 6: the oil markets are hoping that maybe we can ease
• 3:39
  Speaker 6: some tensions and sort of reopen the Strait of Hormuz
• 3:42
  Speaker 6: if Omani and Irani officials start talking together and figuring
• 3:46
  Speaker 6: out a plan for that. How are you thinking about
• 3:50
  Speaker 6: a ceasefire, a new memorandum of understanding? What would a
• 3:55
  Speaker 6: positive next step look like to you?
• 4:00
  Speaker 5: It just goes to show you see the stock markets,
• 4:02
  Speaker 5: futures are reacting as well. Oil prices are dipping, and
• 4:06
  Speaker 5: as as as soon as President Trump brings Aroan to
• 4:09
  Speaker 5: the table and they cry uncle and agree that they
• 4:12
  Speaker 5: will never have a nuclear weapon, then gas prices are
• 4:15
  Speaker 5: going to plummet to lower than we've ever seen before,
• 4:17
  Speaker 5: thanks to the early Trump oil and energy policies that
• 4:22
  Speaker 5: he enacted, uprooting the Green New Deal from the Biden administration.
• 4:26
  Speaker 5: So that's all good news. But at the end of
• 4:29
  Speaker 5: the day, President Trump, and you heard you an Ambassador
• 4:32
  Speaker 5: Mike Waltz, make this very clear this morning, President Trump's
• 4:35
  Speaker 5: not going to allow Iran to ever have a nuclear weapon,
• 4:39
  Speaker 5: and we will do whatever necessary to prevent them from
• 4:42
  Speaker 5: having one, and to keep the strait of removes open
• 4:45
  Speaker 5: as well. So as you see a timeline here with
• 4:50
  Speaker 5: less strikes and less action, hopefully that will give a
• 4:54
  Speaker 5: Roan a time right now to come back and do
• 4:58
  Speaker 5: what President Trump and have said that they want to do.
• 5:01
  Speaker 5: Strike a deal that re them requires that they will
• 5:05
  Speaker 5: never have a nuclear weapon, and we will move on
• 5:07
  Speaker 5: and oil prices will be lower than we've ever seen before.
• 5:10
  Speaker 7: We're all very hopeful for that, cautiously optimistic. All right,
• 5:14
  Speaker 7: I want to turn to this now, Senator. The House
• 5:16
  Speaker 7: officially passed the twenty twenty seven National Defense Authorization Act,
• 5:20
  Speaker 7: adding text of the Save America Act to that bill.
• 5:24
  Speaker 7: It now heads to the showdown in the Senate. There's
• 5:27
  Speaker 7: a lot of frustration, Senator, with you and your fellow senators.
• 5:32
  Speaker 7: Quite frankly, Republicans are frustrated that their Republican senators aren't
• 5:36
  Speaker 7: able to get voter id proof of citizenship and some
• 5:39
  Speaker 7: of the other parts of the Save America Act across
• 5:42
  Speaker 7: the finish line. I want you to shoot it very
• 5:44
  Speaker 7: straight with us. Is there a chance, is there a
• 5:47
  Speaker 7: snowballs chance in hell that we get the Save America
• 5:50
  Speaker 7: Act in any iteration through the Senate to the President.
• 5:55
  Speaker 5: Well, this is the fifth time the House has passed
• 5:57
  Speaker 5: the Save America Act. I'm frustrated too. They should abandon
• 6:01
  Speaker 5: the so called traditions and the filibuster rules, nuke the filibuster,
• 6:06
  Speaker 5: do whatever it takes to pass the Save America Act.
• 6:08
  Speaker 5: I think the NDAA and the upcoming reconciliation package that
• 6:13
  Speaker 5: the House is going to send over to the Senate
• 6:15
  Speaker 5: are the best opportunities that we have to pass Save
• 6:18
  Speaker 5: America Act requiring voter ID. The NDAA is very important
• 6:21
  Speaker 5: for our troops in our military, and by the way,
• 6:24
  Speaker 5: Democrats are blocking funding for our military at a time
• 6:28
  Speaker 5: when we need to replenish our munition stockpiles and support
• 6:31
  Speaker 5: our military. So that's the perfect bill to put the
• 6:36
  Speaker 5: Save America Act in. The Democrats are all against it.
• 6:38
  Speaker 5: They don't want to support our military, and the Democrats
• 6:41
  Speaker 5: don't want voter ID. So let's put every Republican on
• 6:44
  Speaker 5: the record and support of it and pass it and
• 6:47
  Speaker 5: save this country and head into the midterms with the
• 6:50
  Speaker 5: best hand that we have to keep the majorities in
• 6:51
  Speaker 5: the House in the Senate. I fear what will happen
• 6:54
  Speaker 5: if we don't pass the Save America Act on election
• 6:57
  Speaker 5: day in the midterm elections.
• 6:58
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I have the same year a senator, do you
• 7:01
  Speaker 7: think that you should forego the upcoming recess to get
• 7:05
  Speaker 7: this done?
• 7:07
  Speaker 5: I'm all for it. We don't need a recess. Let's
• 7:10
  Speaker 5: pass the Save America Act. It's more important than taking
• 7:14
  Speaker 5: a break taking a recess. And I'm back in Indiana
• 7:18
  Speaker 5: for the weekend. I head back to Washington tomorrow. I've
• 7:20
  Speaker 5: heard from people everywhere I go, from the diner this
• 7:23
  Speaker 5: morning to the grocery store. Pass the Save America Act.
• 7:27
  Speaker 5: We have to get it done. Is so fundamental to
• 7:29
  Speaker 5: the future of this country. To make sure that American
• 7:32
  Speaker 5: elections are only for Americans. By the way, the biggest
• 7:34
  Speaker 5: story this week was the Democrat governor in New Jersey
• 7:38
  Speaker 5: admitting the sixty six hundred illegals were accidentally registered to
• 7:42
  Speaker 5: vote and hundreds of them actually voted in the last
• 7:45
  Speaker 5: two elections in New Jersey. If that can happen there
• 7:47
  Speaker 5: and even a Democrat is admitting it, it's the biggest
• 7:51
  Speaker 5: It's yet the biggest reason and example of why we
• 7:55
  Speaker 5: have to pass the Save America Act.
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: Senator Jason Chaffins, here, you've been introduced legislation to end
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: birthright citizenship for illegals after the Supreme Court struck down
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: President Trump's executive order. Tell us more about your Citizenship
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: Act and how it would give Congress authority over naturalization
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: and label illegal aliens as invaders. Why is that language
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: specifically important.
• 8:21
  Speaker 5: Well, it's the most important language, Jason, because the Supreme
• 8:25
  Speaker 5: Court struck down the President's executive order. But what all
• 8:28
  Speaker 5: nine Supreme Court justices agree on is that the babies
• 8:32
  Speaker 5: of invaders into our country are not eligible for birthright citizenship.
• 8:37
  Speaker 5: So we don't need a constitutional amendment. We can pass
• 8:40
  Speaker 5: a simple bill in Congress that declares an invasion at
• 8:44
  Speaker 5: the southern border. We've done it, by the way, for
• 8:46
  Speaker 5: we've declared pirates not see spies in the past, as
• 8:51
  Speaker 5: invaders into our country. Yet the number of illegals, the
• 8:54
  Speaker 5: tens of millions of illegals that have come to our
• 8:57
  Speaker 5: country is so greater and such a bigger threat to
• 8:59
  Speaker 5: the future of our country than either of those types
• 9:02
  Speaker 5: of invaders. So declare an invasion and then declare that
• 9:05
  Speaker 5: the babies of those invaders are not eligible for birthright citizenship.
• 9:09
  Speaker 5: That's what my bill, Brandon Gill introduced it in the House.
• 9:12
  Speaker 5: It's simple, it's got a substantial amount of support, and
• 9:16
  Speaker 5: it would ban birthright citizenship for illegals. I think truly
• 9:19
  Speaker 5: an existential threat to the United States of America.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: All right, Senator Jim Banks, thanks very much for joining
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: us tonight.
• 9:28
  Speaker 5: Thank you.
