• 0:18
  Speaker 1: Good morning, Great to be with you.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: The reporting the states that yes, indeed, there was a
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: threat to the president. There's a reason why a plane
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: switch took place as he was leaving Turkey. This was
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: the NATO summit. Just the other month, Washington Post saying
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: that President Trump secretly switched aircraft while leaving Turkey. Trump
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: appeared to depart Ancora aboard the older Air Force one.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: Remember it was the conversations of why aren't you taking
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: the one from Qatar? And then it was the New
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: York Times and they had gotten this leak. It seems that, well,
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: the new one didn't have all of the equipment on it.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: There was no reason to be flying it if it
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: didn't have all the equipment, all the safety equipment. But
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: the fact that these reporters were asking what we said
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: at the time, here I was watching it happen? Are
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: they trying to get them killed? I said those words,
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: Watch that press conference happen? What are they doing? Turns
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: out they may have had some information leaked by a
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: former Air Force secretary who has now been stripped of
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: a security clearance. But what we did not know is that,
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: according to the Post A, Trump appeared to depart Ancora
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: on the older one, but moved to a smaller C
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: THIR two A in a catering truck. That aircraft continued
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: to Britain, serving as a decoy. Did the larger plane well,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: Trump traveled separately. The press didn't even know. For the record,
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: I have zero issue with this whatsoever. I can't describe
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: to you how little of an issue I have with this.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: This from MS now is General Hurtland.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: And General hurtling. We see the president has little to
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: no options here and now the he's trying patients, which
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: we should note something in the White House have been
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: advising all along with economic pressure was his best path here.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: We'll see if he can stay with it. We want
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: to get your thoughts on that Air Force one story
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: we covered a moment ago. What does that tell you
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: about the security situation surrounding this president at a time
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: of war that the Secret Service, the military aids there
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: felt like that such subterfuge was needed in order to
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: safely get the President the United States back home.
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Jonathan, what I'd say there had to have been
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: a significant threat, because as we know, the President tends
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: to blow through some threats and just say let's do
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: it anyway. So when the Secret Service really suggests a
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: plan like this, it means there must have been something significant.
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: And as you were pointing out before, there have been
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: others that have been threatened, and there have been obvious
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: threats in the works. You mentioned Secretary Pompeo, Ambassador Bolton
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: when he was the National Security Advisor. I'd also add
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: to that list General Mark Milly, who continued to have
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: threats throughout his remaining tour and after from the Iranian government,
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: to the point that when President Trump pulled his security detail,
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: he had to hire his own. So it was significant.
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: But the thing that I'm most concerned about is the
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: continuation of the flight with the reporters, the members of
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: the staff when they knew there might have been a
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: targeting of Air Force one.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: I am not I want to make sure I'm on
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: the record here. I don't care who the president is.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: We protect the president because that's what we do. And
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: every member of the press flying with the president has
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: to understand that there are risks everywhere, and yes, they
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: will be sacrificed if you will, their comfort, their safety,
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: all of it. I don't think it should be thrown
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: to the wolves. But they had to make sure the
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: president was safe. They couldn't let the press know because
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: the press can't be trusted, as we have seen, and
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: this is the way it went down. So if you
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: want to be bothered by my gosh, you put the
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: press in danger. The press is always in danger when
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: they're flying with the president because the president's in danger.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: And the real story here, the clear story here, is
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: what the Iranians want to do, the damage that they
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: want to do. The quote from Richard Blumenthal, the Senator
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: Democrat from Connecticut who lied about his Vietnam service, called
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: it scary, unprecedented, surreal, and then added, as the reporting goes,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: that the war in Iran has made the president, US troops,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: Persian golf allies, and the world less safe. Wrong Iran,
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: the Iranian regime, the Islamists have made the president the
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: United States, the Persian golf, and the world less safe.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: You would only know that if you weren't a ridiculous coward,
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: Senator Blumenthal, which you are a chicken crap coward. That's
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: all you have been, that's all you'll ever be. You're
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: not good enough. You can't win a war, you can't
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: keep a country safe. You and the whimps that surround you,
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: the losers of the DSA and the losers of the
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: Democratic Party. The issue here is Iran, the issue here
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: in his Islamic regime. The issue here the people who
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: want to destroy Western civilization. Then we should do something
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: about those people. And if people like you, Senator Blumenthal,
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: weren't such outrageous cowards, may we'd all get on board.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: That's the issue here. That we knew about the threat,
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: that we were able to engage in the protection of
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: leaders goods, smart, excellent. And to the reporting that you heard,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: just heard there General Hurtling giving his commentary, it was
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: wrong with President Trump to take away the protection of
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: the former ambassador John Bolton. I don't care what else
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: he's done, and of Mark Millian. I'm no fan of
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: General milly and of Mike Pompeo. He was wrong, flat out.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: But the threat is not Trump, The threat is not Maga,
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: The threat is not Republicans. The threat isn't even Democrats,
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: except of course, those who invite in the Islamists, which
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: is a growing and growing number. The threat is the
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: Islamist When are we going to deal with this? When
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: do we get grown ups in the room, Let them
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: drop and then go do the work. And if you
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: know what I mean by let them drop, you know
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: what I mean by let him drop. It's a time
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: for men. We have to recognize what the enemy is.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: We have to say so clearly, and then we have
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: to go at them. Let's do that. As for the
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: President being moved to another plane and the misdirection, one
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: thousand percent, absolutely no question about it. The threat and
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: that's the Iranian regime. Let's see something about that too,
