  Speaker 3: thing choices have become, and now Democrats are doubling down.

• 2:41
  Speaker 3: the switch. Today it's the forty seven Morning Update and
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: it starts right now.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: Story number one.
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: In the early hours of the morning, deep in the
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: strategic water rays surrounding Iran, tensions reached a boiling point.
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: It's been confirmed now. The United States Navy, tasks with
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: enforcing a rapidly evolving maritime blockade, encountered what officials are
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: describing as a non compliant Iranian cargo vessel attempting to
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: breach restricted waters to be clear for more than six hours.
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: The US Navy told the ship to turn around, and
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: they refused. According to the NATO reports that are out
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: from the defense sources, the ship continued to ignore warning
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: after warning, radio calls, signal flares, even direct interception maneuvers,
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: and then came the moment that changed everything. US Navy commanders,
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: operating under strict rules of engagement tied to the blockade,
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: made the call, stopped the vessel by force if necessary,
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: and what followed was the President United States of America
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: making it clear he will continue to take swift and
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: decisive action. A precision strike described as controlled and targeted,
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: hit the cargo ship, disabling it and effectively blowing a
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: hole in the vessel's hull. The goal was not to
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: sink the ship, but to neutralize its ability to continue forward.
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: Within minutes, the ship was dead in the water after
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: the engine room was struck. Now, this wasn't chaos, it
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: wasn't reckless. It was a calculated maneuver by the United States.
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: US officials are emphasizing that this action was taken only
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: after hours of repeated violations and what they described as
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: a clear and deliberate attempt to challenge the military blockade.
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: Now this is what matters the most. This isn't just
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: about one ship. This is literally about control of one
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: of the most critical maritime corridors in the entire world.
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: Energy flowing through these waters, global trade depends on them
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: as well, and for years around and has used its
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: position in the region to test the limits, probing, pushing,
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: and at times provoking and even charging tolls to use
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: this waterway, which they do not own. Now, this is
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: clearly a massive shift. Not only was a line being
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: drawn by the present days ago, but he's enforcing it.
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: The US Navy now sending an even clearer message. If
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: there is a blockade in place, it will be enforce
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: not symbolically, not diplomatically, but literally physically. And that changes
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: the calculus now for many in the region. Because every
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: ship contains now well a reality. The captain has to
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: make a decision. Do they comply or risk confrontation with
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: the most powerful navy force on Earth. And if you
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: don't comply, is there any doubt in your mind that
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: America will now fire on your ship. Iran is not
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: likely to sit quietly by the way after this incident.
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: Even a limited strike on one of its vessels can
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: trigger retaliation, which I'm sure our military is expecting. So
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: the world yes is watching very closely what is going
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: to happen next. The President of the United States of
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: America also making it very clear on social media that
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: he is not messing around. The President putting out this
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: statement on true social Today, an Iranian flag cargo ship,
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: nearly nine hundred feet long and weighing almost as much
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: as an aircraft carrier, tried to get past our naval
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: blockade and it did not go well for them. The
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: US Navy guided missile destroyer intercepted the boat in the
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: Gulf of Oman and gave their fair warning to stop.
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: The Iranian crew refused to listen, so our Navy ships
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: stopped them right in their tracks by blowing a hole
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: in the engine room right now. The President went on
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: to say, US Marines have custody of the vessel, and
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: that vessel is under US Treasury sanctions because of their
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: prior history of illegal activity. We have full custody of
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: the ship and are seeing what's on board. Sign President
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: Donald J. Trump. Now you look at what the President
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: just said there. You listen to distressed calls that have
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: captured that tanker under fire. As Iran is retaliating shutting
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: down the Strait of Hormuz. We now know that there
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: are thousands of crew members that are trapped in that
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: area on their boats. It is a choke point crisis.
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: But the footage that has been put out to the
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: world showing the US Navy blowing a hole in that
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: Iranian cargo ship also makes it clear you violate an
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: American blockade and we will respond. The question now is
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: what will Iran do next. We also know that there's
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: another issue at play as well, and that is a
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: slain Iranian nuclear scientist has raised the alarm over uranium
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: expertise reaching the black market. A nuclear expert now saying
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: that Iranian scientists may be willing to sell weapons expertise
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: to states or non state actors. The killing of the
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: Iranian nuclear scientists in US Israel military strike has raised
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: that fear that if the regime destabilizes, we can control
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: over the uranium stockpiles, then there could be the spread
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: of nuclear expertise, and that could increase proliferation risks around
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: the world, certainly in the Middle East, which is exactly
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: why the President United States of America is saying what
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: he's saying. We have to get that enriched uranium out
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: of Iran.
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: Next story number two right now.
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: Nowhere is it more obvious than in America's Blue cities
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: of exactly what happens when democrats are in charge and
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: when they refuse to enforce the law. We know what happens.
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: Innocent Americans pay the price. We've got a new case
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: out of New York City that should outrage every American listening.
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: According to report from Fox News and the New York Post,
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: City officials are refusing to honor an ICE detainer request
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: for an illegal immigrant accused of setting a fire that
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: killed four people and injured seven others. You have four
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: people that are dead, seven more that are injured, and
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: the response from the leadership in New York City and
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: one of the biggest cities in America is they say,
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: we refuse to cooperate with federal law enforcement. This is
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: what happens when you elect radicals like Mandani. Now let
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: me just let this sink in even more when I
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: give you some of the facts. This, by the way,
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: is what Donald Trump has been warning you about. The
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: suspect identified as a man by the name of Roman.
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: He's accused of committing a horrific act of violence, and
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: yet because of so called sanctuary city policies pushed by
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: the radical Democratic politicians, there is a very real possibility
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: that this individual could be released instead of being turned
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: over to immigration authorities. Now that's not compassion, that is
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: not justice. This is negligence at its best and at
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: its worst, it is a deliberate political choice by the
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: Democratic Party by Mandani, to prioritize their political ideology over
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: actual human life, and in this case, the loss of
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: significant life. And this, by the way, is exactly what
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: so many Americans are fed up with. But for some reason,
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: in blue cities, there's so many liberals there that say,
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: we hate Donald Trump so much we would rather let
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: people die in our city than admit that is immigration
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: policies keep Americans safe. We're now witnessing a pattern over
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: and over and over again. You have leaders who campaign
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: on being quote progressive, who promise to protect communities, but
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: not as citizens. And once they're in office, what do
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: they do. They protect the very system that keeps these
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: criminals alive and able to commit even more crimes. We
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: also know that the Democratic Party hates law enforce. They
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: actually hate law and order. They actually want to prosecute
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: ICE agents. We saw that recently another Democratic politician in California,
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: the front runner and the Democratic Party for governor, a
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: billionaire who says he wants to lock up ICE agents
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: and charge them with crimes. A billionaire by the name
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: of Stire, a guy who's running for governor telling you
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: that if you vote for him, he's going to go
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: after the men and women who risk their lives to
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: take the worst criminals off the streets. Because of an ideology,
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: which is to allow as many illegal immigrants into this
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: country as possible, and then when tragedy strikes, they act shocked,
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: they issue statements, they hold press conference, but notice that
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: nothing changes. So let's be honest about what is really
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: happening here. Sanctuary policies were sold to the public is a
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: way to protect law abiding immigrants, people who are working
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: hard as they say, contribute to society as they say,
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: and try to just build a better life. So we
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: should look the other way and not enforce our laws.
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: But in reality, what we're seeing is something extremely different.
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: For years, these policies are being used as a shield,
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: even in cases involving the most serious violent criminals. And
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: when you refuse to honor an ice attainer for someone
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: accused of killing not one, not two, not three, but
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: four people and injuring seriously injuring seven more, the Democratic
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: Party is sending a very clear message. What you're saying
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: is this, the Democrats' political agenda matters more than your
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: public safety. You are saying that federal law doesn't apply here.
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: And what you're telling the victims and the families of
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: those four dead is that their lives come second to
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: the lives of the illegal immigrant criminal. Not only is
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: this unacceptable, but it's time for Americans to wake up
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: and realize this is happening unfortunately, literally every day in
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: this country, in these sanctuary states and these sanctuary cities.
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: Because this isn't happening in isolation. You look at cities
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: across the country that have embraced the same approach, same
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: places where we're now watching crime surge, where law enforcements
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: demoralize and demonize, and now what we see is basic
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: law and order is breaking down. There's also a reason
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: why these families are saying they've had enough. We're sick
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: and tired of watching innocent people die in the Democratic
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: Party protecting the killers who killed them.
