We Are At War
National security expert Michael Letts joins us to talk about sleeper cells in the U.S., how Trump is dealing with the threat in the homeland from sleeper cell agents who may act in retalion for bombing Iran nuclear sites.
Since we do not know how many "agents" have slipped into America, it isn't clear how much danger there is. That is the topic of this episode of America Today with Jim Watkins
1
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:12,840
Welcome back to America Today.
By the way, we want to welcome
2
00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:16,800

FL, in the state of the
3
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:20,640
beautiful state of Florida.
And the folks, they're very
4
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:25,120
grateful to be on AM 790.
It is of course, the the great

00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:27,080
radio stations.
Been there going back all the
6
00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:30,920
way to the 50s with Papa Don
Schroeder and now his son Scott
7
00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:34,600
and their team running a great
couple of radio stations in one
8
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:37,560
of the most beautiful cities in
the United States.
9
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:40,240
Welcome to the folks in
Pensacola.
10
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:44,600
Also want to remind you that you

That's 9:00 AM on the Bull 1340
12
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:50,760
and 99.1.
And we wrote welcome the morning
13
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:55,560
audience of Phoenix and Mesa, AZ
Also glad to have back Michael
14
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:59,160
Letts.
He is the Invest usa.org CEO and
15
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:01,520
founder.
It's an organization that helps
16
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:06,400
frontliners, law enforcement
stay alive literally by wearing
17
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:09,840
bullet bulletproof vest that he
provides at no charge.
18
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:14,000
So check it out investorusa.org.
He's also got the ear of the
19
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:18,520
president and is much in the
know with what's happening both
20
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:21,080
internationally and here at
home.
21
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:23,240
So let's talk about what's
happening internationally.
22
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:27,400
First of all, Trump looked
really upset on Tuesday morning
23
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:33,280
because Israel decided just
minutes before the ceasefire was
24
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:37,120
to take place at 4:00 AM Tehran
time on Tuesday.
25
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:40,400
And then came the barrage of
more assault weapons.
26
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:42,680
What's going on in the White
House internally?
27
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:45,680
Give me your perspective on how
frustrating this must be for the
28
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:48,840
president.
Well, it was very frustrating
29
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:52,040
from the standpoint that, you
know, here is the objective.
30
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:55,440
Of course, most people were
saying he could never achieve
31
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:59,760
that objective is Cong was
hoping for peace.
32
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:03,040
As we first understood and
negotiate a settlement.
33
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:06,880
We realized that we could not
have Iran having nuclear
34
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:08,720
capability and they had gotten
to that point.
35
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:12,160
That failed.
So Israel took management into
36
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:15,880
its own hand and lost an initial
strike, very successful, I might
37
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:17,520
add.
They didn't just launch it out
38
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:20,320
of the spur of the moment.
They've been planning this for
39
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:24,160
years.
They even actually built a base
40
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:28,480
inside Iran right outside of
Tehran to store drones etcetera
41
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:30,800
to prepare them for the launch
when the day would come, which
42
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:35,000
it did come and knocked out the
vast majority of Iran's air
43
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:38,160
defense systems wide open
targets.
44
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:42,000
Now for the nuclear facilities,
they sent in their first wave on
45
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:45,960
the on the second strike and
took out vast majority of the
46
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:49,560
nuclear capabilities of Iran,
but they had three particular
47
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:52,600
sites that were deep inside the
earth.
48
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:57,840
And the only military technology
in the world is possessed by us,
49
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:01,480
not China, not Russia, US, the
United States of America.
50
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:07,800
It's called B2 Bunker Busters.
And so Israel was pleading that
51
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:12,280
we would utilize those to finish
annihilating their nuclear
52
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:14,760
capabilities.
And the president did not want
53
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:16,920
to do that.
He wanted to move forward, to
54
00:03:16,920 --> 00:03:20,320
continue to offer negotiations.
He extended that all in branch
55
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:23,960
numerous times.
The Ayatollah rejected it and
56
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:27,480
quite frankly, put the president
in a position he had no choice.
57
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:29,840
And here's what I'm telling the
American people.
58
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:34,080
And we turn that down and
allowed Iran to continue to have
59
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:35,800
the majority of its nuclear
capabilities.
60
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:39,480
And then they've been a nuclear
Holocaust year, 2 years, three
61
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:41,200
years to other with millions
dying.
62
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:43,800
That would be someone your
conscious you never want to live
63
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,320
with.
So we took that opportunity.
64
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:49,480
We went in, we made it very
clear that we were not going to
65
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:51,000
make this a long term
commitment.
66
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:53,560
We were simply going to
eliminate their nuclear
67
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:58,640
capability and then deescalate
and bring the war to a close.
68
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:02,000
We did that, did it very
successfully, took out their
69
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,200
nuclear capabilities.
Of course, you know, Iran had to
70
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:07,560
which you would expect had to
save some face.
71
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:11,240
They had to fire some missiles
back, retaliate towards things
72
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:15,200
against the US, but they even
notified us when the missiles
73
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:17,880
were coming ahead of time.
There were no casualties to
74
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,440
American forces or anything
along those lines.
75
00:04:21,079 --> 00:04:24,960
And so basically the president
said, OK, enough is enough and
76
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:29,560
this is it, war is over.
Iran and Israel agreed to a
77
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,760
ceasefire, which will then
probably by late this afternoon,
78
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:36,000
go into a permanent ceasefire
and the war will cease.
79
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:42,480
However, Israel was itchy on the
trigger and there were some
80
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:44,840
additional missiles that were
fired from Iran.
81
00:04:44,840 --> 00:04:47,600
You have to understand the
majority of Iran's leadership
82
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:49,800
has been taken out.
So you don't know who exactly is
83
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:51,240
controlling the switches right
now.
84
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:54,480
And of course, is Rwanda
immediately retaliate.
85
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:58,040
They did fire a few things back.
And that's what got the
86
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:01,880
president upset this morning was
we are going to have a ceasefire
87
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:03,320
whether you people like it or
not.
88
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:04,920
We have done what needs to be
done.
89
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:07,560
We stepped up to the plate.
Enough is enough.
90
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:11,360
We have just now been notified
the ceasefire is in effect and
91
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:14,920
we expect it to hold and we
expect this hostility to be
92
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,640
terminated within the next 12 to
14 hours.
93
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:22,440
All right, So what if is the
president likely at all to just
94
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:26,720
walk away from all of this if
these two sides can't maintain
95
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:28,320
some sort of civility in all
this?
96
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:30,440
In other words, if it gets to
the point where they're just not
97
00:05:30,840 --> 00:05:33,840
stopping with the the lobbying
of missiles and strikes and
98
00:05:33,840 --> 00:05:36,120
drones, do you think the
president would walk away from
99
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:39,160
all of this and just wash his
hands or, or is he able to do
100
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:41,920
that?
He is able to do that.
101
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:46,240
I did not foresee that
happening, and here's why I make
102
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:51,040
the statements that I did.
Quite frankly, the United States
103
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:55,320
has enough presence, shall we
say, with Israel to be able to
104
00:05:55,320 --> 00:06:00,800
have some very tourist
discussions and some very harsh
105
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:03,640
movements.
With Iran, we have the same
106
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:05,480
thing now that they have no
nuclear capability.
107
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:08,960
Knocked it out.
Plus, understand that whatever
108
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:12,160
leadership is left in Iran is
fighting for its very survival.
109
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:17,800
The Crown Prince Paholia is now
saying, hey, it's time for the
110
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:20,720
regime, the ayatollahs, to step
down.
111
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:22,840
They have done enough
destruction over the last 40
112
00:06:22,840 --> 00:06:25,600
years.
I'm coming back and we'll see.
113
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:29,960
And quite frankly, the polls
show that 7080% of Iranians are
114
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:34,240
tired of living under the
ayatollahs with harsh Cherie,
115
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:36,800
etcetera, etcetera, and want a
change.
116
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:41,000
So quite frankly, I think the
Iranian regime has its hands
117
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:44,280
full, would just determine
whether it can survive or
118
00:06:44,280 --> 00:06:45,960
whether there's going to be a
regime change.
119
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:49,840
We're talking with Michael
Letts, top national security
120
00:06:49,840 --> 00:06:53,200
expert and advisor and an
experienced law enforcement
121
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:55,240
officer.
So let's turn our attention here
122
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:57,920
at home.
I I I'm a little confused about
123
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:02,440
this potential sleeper cell
situation #1 because all it does
124
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:04,960
is enhance more law enforcement
presence.
125
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:09,440
Was absolutely hate #2 most
Iranians, You said 70%.
126
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:13,080
I mean, 7 out of 10 people who
are from Iran or in Iran hate
127
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:16,600
the regime, so why on earth
would be worried about sleeper
128
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:20,320
cells?
Well, our Intel shows we've done
129
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:24,000
this for some time, that there
is a very strong terrorist
130
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,320
networks already established in
this country.
131
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:30,280
It has banded together from
members of the cartels, member
132
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:35,880
of human sex trafficking
organizations, enemies abroad
133
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:38,960
such as the CCP and Iran and
others.
134
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:41,680
They finally figured it out.
Why don't we all band together?
135
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:44,840
We'll help fund things together
and let's try to create heaven
136
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:47,800
from within.
Now, after the launching of
137
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:51,480
missiles began, Israel, Iran,
and then of course, when the US
138
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:56,560
took out nuclear capabilities,
the Ayatollah's gut reaction was
139
00:07:56,560 --> 00:08:01,000
to call for a jihad against the
United States by the sleeper
140
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:05,120
cells that was activated.
We know we have sleeper cells
141
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:07,080
all over the place.
I've got a list of cities.
142
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:14,160
I'll pop off a few DC, Boca
Raton, Scarlett, New York, LA,
143
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:19,320
San Francisco, San Diego,
Dallas, and our list could go on
144
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:22,320
and on and on.
We know we have sleeper cell
145
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:24,720
presence.
So we are now dedicating our
146
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:28,840
intelligence in the Bureau to
make sure we pick this up and we
147
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:32,039
monitor any activity, any
activity that's moved we
148
00:08:32,039 --> 00:08:34,919
considered to be hostile.
We are prepared because you
149
00:08:34,919 --> 00:08:37,919
remember the President signed
the insurrection at last week,
150
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:42,480
the insurgent, our
insurrectionist riots that were
151
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:46,160
occurring on LA, across the
country, actually, you know, in
152
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:47,640
New York.
I mean, just you name it, they
153
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:50,320
were trying to put them
together, trying to create,
154
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:53,880
trying to break the law, attack
police officers, destroy
155
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:55,800
property.
And so military presence has
156
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:58,560
been used and that order is
still in effect.
157
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:02,040
We will use that military
presence should there be a
158
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:04,120
coordinated effort by these
terrorist cells.
159
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:05,960
You're beginning to see some of
the surface.
160
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:09,200
You saw the church attack in
Michigan.
161
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:11,360
Now they're saying, no, that
wasn't related.
162
00:09:11,680 --> 00:09:13,880
That's a little premature, quite
frankly.
163
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:17,600
We're seeing terrorist activity,
a lot of it.
164
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:21,760
We've leveled the awareness and
heightened security for the
165
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:25,200
country to red level under the
Homeland Security.
166
00:09:25,680 --> 00:09:27,720
And we are very being very
vigilant.
167
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:30,280
I will agree with exactly what
you said though, Jim.
168
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,080
This is a temporary measure.
This is not the way we want
169
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:36,040
life, everyday life in America.
We want to make sure we have
170
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:39,360
restored freedom, justice and
liberty and we can go back to
171
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:41,920
all of us as Americans.
I'm holding an arm and I do want
172
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:42,920
to throw this out.
Jim Hold.
173
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:44,920
On all of these.
Ties in together.
174
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:46,640
Let me check.
Let me take a quick break.
175
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:48,080
We'll come back and we'll let
you continue.
176
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:50,480
What you're talking about here.
Very important information,
177
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:53,080
Michael, Let's here with us on
America Today.
178
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:09,640
This segment of the program is
brought to you by Southwest
179
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:13,040
Florida dreamhome.com.
Let the journey begin with a new
180
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:15,840
real estate, maybe an investment
property or just a place you
181
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:19,080
could call home.
Southwest Florida dreamhome.com
182
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:21,840
is the place to start.
We've got Michael let's on the
183
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:24,560
line just before the break.
And Michael let's national
184
00:10:24,560 --> 00:10:27,840
security expert and advisor.
And we were talking about the
185
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:31,880
state of affairs internally
looking for possible sleeper
186
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:36,120
cells activated by those of our
enemies in the Middle East.
187
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:39,040
We don't know where the dark
money is flowing, but we're on
188
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:41,000
alert.
So I would say to you, Michael,
189
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:44,360
just before the break, you said
that it's temporary to have
190
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:46,240
these.
And you know, are we?
191
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:48,240
It almost sounds like we're in a
state of war.
192
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:51,640
We are in a state of war.
I'm very glad that you mentioned
193
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:56,320
that, that that quite frankly,
needs to be repeated very often
194
00:10:56,680 --> 00:10:58,720
for the next few days.
We are in a state of war.
195
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:01,600
There's no question about we
were in a state of war, you say,
196
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:04,120
against Iran.
No, we're in a state of war,
197
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:08,240
quite frankly, to make sure we
secure our country from those
198
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:11,400
who are trying to destroy it
from within the insurrectionist
199
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:14,120
rioters.
Yes, there are other nefarious
200
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:18,000
activities across the world.
CCP is doing everything they can
201
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,720
to help fund these riots across
this country.
202
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:24,160
They're doing everything they
can but continue to bring in the
203
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:27,440
chemicals necessary for the
manufacturing of fentanyl to
204
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:30,040
destroy our young people.
They are continuing, quite
205
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:36,400
frankly, to manufacture various
viruses that can be considered
206
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:41,240
deadly, hazardous virus, virus,
biological viruses that can
207
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:43,200
cause great harm to the American
people.
208
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:48,320
So quite frankly, if the truth
is the CCP has never been our
209
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:51,720
friend, it's been interesting.
The mainstream media has wanted
210
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:53,400
you to believe that it's been
Russia.
211
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:56,880
That should be our number one
adversarial concern.
212
00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:00,480
However, let me remind the
American people, the only
213
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:05,640
superpower who had an agreement
with Iran, that if Iran was ever
214
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:09,000
attacked, they would step in and
defend is Russia.
215
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:14,720
You'll notice Russia stood down.
You'll notice that China,
216
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:18,280
however, delivered armaments,
among other things, to try to
217
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:23,160
help prop up and continue the
escalation of hostilities with
218
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:26,640
Iran, Israel, and of course,
with our involvement as well.
219
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:32,080
So keep this in mind, folks.
Everything that you see has one
220
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:35,240
particular purpose in mind.
Globally, they are attempting to
221
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:38,760
destroy what's left of America
and we're going to make sure
222
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:41,000
with this new administration, we
defender and defender
223
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,080
vigorously.
Why am I tying it all in
224
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:45,840
together when it comes to human
sex trafficking?
225
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:52,000
And we have got 10s of thousands
of special forces that are
226
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:55,360
working across the world now,
not just ours, but others, to
227
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:58,480
eradicate human child sex
trafficking.
228
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:03,800
When it comes to protecting our
borders from drug cartels, when
229
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:08,440
it comes to eliminating the drug
cartels who have chosen to harm
230
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:11,840
American citizens, it all works
together.
231
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:16,680
This is all one major overhaul
trying to protect America's
232
00:13:16,680 --> 00:13:18,800
interests.
And when it comes, here's the
233
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:22,760
other key component I want us to
realize as Americans, none of
234
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:26,720
this happens without money.
Where has the money come from?
235
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:29,480
Almost all been China.
Well, yeah, I was given money.
236
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:35,480
So we have activists like George
Soros, Lily Christie Walton from
237
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:37,480
the Walmart Foundation,
etcetera, etcetera.
238
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:41,240
But however, a great bill of
that money has come from here.
239
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:45,000
It's come from you and I,
Unbeknownst to US, Congress has
240
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:50,040
used the money to fund NGOs that
insure and give them some of
241
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:52,160
that money back for their own
personal use.
242
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:55,560
And the NGOs they have funded
have one goal in mind, and
243
00:13:55,560 --> 00:13:58,800
that's to support these liberal
causes that destroy the very
244
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:02,760
fabric of America's society.
So we've got to clean that up as
245
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:05,000
well.
So here is why I'm trying to
246
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:08,640
stress in this quick interview
we're doing, Jim, everything
247
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:12,600
that you see is not peaceful.
It's all being played out for
248
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:15,800
one particular reason and that
is to bring liberty and Freedom
249
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:17,400
and Justice back to the American
people.
250
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:21,840
When you don't see a bill
passing, a budget bill, or when
251
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:24,080
you see one being pushed because
we have to do things
252
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:25,600
differently.
We're not going to continue with
253
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:28,840
continuing resolutions and fun
things without money to be
254
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:31,240
stolen from the US Treasury as
it has been in the past.
255
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:35,000
All this ties in.
If you have any questions, Jim
256
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,480
Watkins is the guy to listen to.
He just sent the best
257
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:40,520
information coming in or you
feel free to visit our website,
258
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:43,920
get anything else you may need.
But folks, we are in a war.
259
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:46,320
I love the way Jim said it.
We are in a war for the very
260
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:49,920
soul, the very future of
America, good versus evil.
261
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:53,840
We're making great progress and
great strife to winning that
262
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:56,760
war.
Often we'll have victory, but we
263
00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:59,440
won't have victory if we all
turn on ourselves.
264
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:01,080
We have to stay united as
Americans.
265
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:04,560
Man, it's just hard keeping
track of the hour by hour
266
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:07,720
developments.
But in your opinion, you believe
267
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:09,800
that?
And I've said this too, that
268
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:13,880
Trump is resistant to get too
involved because he wants to
269
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:16,520
have a legacy of being a
peacemaker and a deal maker,
270
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:19,600
even though the forces are
stacked up against him.
271
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:22,720
Who's he listening to right now,
in your opinion?
272
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:25,920
Who does he trust more as much
as anyone else?
273
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:28,800
But who is he really leaning on?
Is it Rubio?
274
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:32,120
Is it Who is it?
Who is in the inner circle that
275
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:35,480
that is echoing in?
And by the way, Pete Hegseth has
276
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:39,720
done a terrific job of keeping
secrets from escaping, which is
277
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:41,920
something the Biden
administration could never do.
278
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:47,320
Hence, we were able to have the
the bombing mission, the
279
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:51,080
Operation Midnight.
So hats off to Pete Hagseth.
280
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:53,320
But who is Trump leaning on
right now, you think?
281
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:59,080
Well, I will tell you this, that
has been his biggest frustration
282
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:05,800
is finding people that he can
trust who give him the advice
283
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:08,720
that he needs without trying to
further themselves.
284
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:11,680
I've often told the president
last people you want are the
285
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:13,680
people who are looking at the
next election.
286
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:17,200
You want somebody there who
hates being in DC, doesn't want
287
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:20,360
to be there for a minute, but
realizes he is answering the
288
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:23,000
call of his country and wants to
get it done as quickly as
289
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:26,560
possible and get home.
He so he my point of making that
290
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:30,000
is he has a lot of people that
you would not recognize that are
291
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:34,240
not known that are on the in the
inside giving advice for one
292
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:36,240
reason.
Don't have it, don't have a
293
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:39,560
paycheck, don't have a title,
don't not looking to be
294
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:42,280
appointed to a huge place for
the next 10 years.
295
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:44,880
Just want to serve my country
and get out of here.
296
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:48,160
And that's the best advice for
those are the people he needs to
297
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:51,400
be listening to the most.
All right.
298
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:55,320
Any word on this Minnesota
shooting of the two politicians
299
00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:59,600
and the shooter saying that Tim
Waltz wanted him to do it?
300
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:02,920
Do you have any Intel on that?
We do.
301
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:05,839
We are continuing to research
that now.
302
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:10,200
Obviously we know who is
appointed, what his philosophy
303
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:13,920
was, what the manifesto was,
unlike with the mainstream
304
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:16,280
media.
He definitely was a progressive
305
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:23,160
Democratic liberal and he
definitely was a usage to remind
306
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:26,280
Democrats that they either stick
together or are they going to
307
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:28,440
pay a big price for it.
Because the two Democrats, the
308
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:31,160
one that was killed, the Speaker
of the House, and the other that
309
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:34,080
was shot 9 times, the state
senator, were the only two
310
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:39,440
Democrats who had opted to, for
first time in generations, vote
311
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:42,840
against their party's platform
for a budget and refuse to
312
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:44,680
continue to fund illegal
immigration.
313
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:48,720
And so we know that that's the
purpose behind it.
314
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:52,000
How far, how much deeper it
goes, We're still investigating.
315
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:55,480
Very good.
Let's is with us today.
316
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:58,400
He'll be back tomorrow as well.
We've got a little more than a
317
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:00,720
minute.
How is your invest USA?
318
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:02,200
We don't talk about that too
much.
319
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:07,480
You we should though, because
you're especially now with so
320
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:11,320
many frontline defenders, you've
got law enforcement, ICE.
321
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:15,280
Are you getting the donations
you need to get the vests out to
322
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:18,800
these law enforcement officers?
Donations are up.
323
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:21,880
They're never where they need to
be, but they certainly are up
324
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:24,200
with more.
More officers are getting the
325
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:26,160
protection that they need.
Here's the key thing.
326
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:30,400
Then we have to send a message
to our first responders that
327
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:33,440
we've got their back, that we as
a country are determined to
328
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:35,480
protect them as much as they
protect us.
329
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:38,800
We can work this together.
We have great unlimited
330
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:42,320
possibilities for the future.
So make sure if you have an
331
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:45,280
opportunity, I've said this on
the year before with you, Jim, I
332
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:48,960
don't care where you can only
donate $0.50, donate something
333
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:53,240
so that we can tell the American
first responders, hundreds of
334
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:56,120
millions of Americans have your
back and they're behind you.
335
00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:58,520
And that would make such a big
difference in their performance
336
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:02,040
in the days ahead, which is
critical to America's survival.
337
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:06,200
All right, Michael, that's
always glad Invest usa.org is
338
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:08,440
his website.
We'll see you in 24 hours and
339
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:11,200
I'm sure there'll be a lot of
stuff to talk about tomorrow.
340
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:14,920
This is how quickly things are
changing in the landscape of
341
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:16,520
geopolitics.
Thanks again, Michael.
342
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:19,600
We'll talk to you in 24 hours.
God bless you, Jim.
343
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:21,440
God Bless America.
Keep doing what you're doing.
344
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:31,050
You're making a difference.

13
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:55,560
audience of Phoenix and Mesa, AZ
Also glad to have back Michael
14
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:59,160
Letts.
He is the Invest usa.org CEO and
15
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:01,520
founder.
It's an organization that helps
16
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:06,400
frontliners, law enforcement
stay alive literally by wearing
17
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:09,840
bullet bulletproof vest that he
provides at no charge.
18
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:14,000
So check it out investorusa.org.
He's also got the ear of the
19
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:18,520
president and is much in the
know with what's happening both
20
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:21,080
internationally and here at
home.
21
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:23,240
So let's talk about what's
happening internationally.
22
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:27,400
First of all, Trump looked
really upset on Tuesday morning
23
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:33,280
because Israel decided just
minutes before the ceasefire was
24
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:37,120
to take place at 4:00 AM Tehran
time on Tuesday.
25
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:40,400
And then came the barrage of
more assault weapons.
26
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:42,680
What's going on in the White
House internally?
27
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:45,680
Give me your perspective on how
frustrating this must be for the
28
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:48,840
president.
Well, it was very frustrating
29
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:52,040
from the standpoint that, you
know, here is the objective.
30
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:55,440
Of course, most people were
saying he could never achieve
31
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:59,760
that objective is Cong was
hoping for peace.
32
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:03,040
As we first understood and
negotiate a settlement.
33
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:06,880
We realized that we could not
have Iran having nuclear
34
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:08,720
capability and they had gotten
to that point.
35
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:12,160
That failed.
So Israel took management into
36
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:15,880
its own hand and lost an initial
strike, very successful, I might
37
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:17,520
add.
They didn't just launch it out
38
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:20,320
of the spur of the moment.
They've been planning this for
39
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:24,160
years.
They even actually built a base
40
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:28,480
inside Iran right outside of
Tehran to store drones etcetera
41
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:30,800
to prepare them for the launch
when the day would come, which
42
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:35,000
it did come and knocked out the
vast majority of Iran's air
43
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:38,160
defense systems wide open
targets.
44
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:42,000
Now for the nuclear facilities,
they sent in their first wave on
45
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:45,960
the on the second strike and
took out vast majority of the
46
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:49,560
nuclear capabilities of Iran,
but they had three particular
47
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:52,600
sites that were deep inside the
earth.
48
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:57,840
And the only military technology
in the world is possessed by us,
49
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:01,480
not China, not Russia, US, the
United States of America.
50
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:07,800
It's called B2 Bunker Busters.
And so Israel was pleading that
51
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:12,280
we would utilize those to finish
annihilating their nuclear
52
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:14,760
capabilities.
And the president did not want
53
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:16,920
to do that.
He wanted to move forward, to
54
00:03:16,920 --> 00:03:20,320
continue to offer negotiations.
He extended that all in branch
55
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:23,960
numerous times.
The Ayatollah rejected it and
56
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:27,480
quite frankly, put the president
in a position he had no choice.
57
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:29,840
And here's what I'm telling the
American people.
58
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:34,080
And we turn that down and
allowed Iran to continue to have
59
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:35,800
the majority of its nuclear
capabilities.
60
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:39,480
And then they've been a nuclear
Holocaust year, 2 years, three
61
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:41,200
years to other with millions
dying.
62
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:43,800
That would be someone your
conscious you never want to live
63
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,320
with.
So we took that opportunity.
64
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:49,480
We went in, we made it very
clear that we were not going to
65
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:51,000
make this a long term
commitment.
66
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:53,560
We were simply going to
eliminate their nuclear
67
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:58,640
capability and then deescalate
and bring the war to a close.
68
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:02,000
We did that, did it very
successfully, took out their
69
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,200
nuclear capabilities.
Of course, you know, Iran had to
70
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:07,560
which you would expect had to
save some face.
71
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:11,240
They had to fire some missiles
back, retaliate towards things
72
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:15,200
against the US, but they even
notified us when the missiles
73
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:17,880
were coming ahead of time.
There were no casualties to
74
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,440
American forces or anything
along those lines.
75
00:04:21,079 --> 00:04:24,960
And so basically the president
said, OK, enough is enough and
76
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:29,560
this is it, war is over.
Iran and Israel agreed to a
77
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,760
ceasefire, which will then
probably by late this afternoon,
78
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:36,000
go into a permanent ceasefire
and the war will cease.
79
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:42,480
However, Israel was itchy on the
trigger and there were some
80
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:44,840
additional missiles that were
fired from Iran.
81
00:04:44,840 --> 00:04:47,600
You have to understand the
majority of Iran's leadership
82
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:49,800
has been taken out.
So you don't know who exactly is
83
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:51,240
controlling the switches right
now.
84
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:54,480
And of course, is Rwanda
immediately retaliate.
85
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:58,040
They did fire a few things back.
And that's what got the
86
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:01,880
president upset this morning was
we are going to have a ceasefire
87
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:03,320
whether you people like it or
not.
88
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:04,920
We have done what needs to be
done.
89
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:07,560
We stepped up to the plate.
Enough is enough.
90
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:11,360
We have just now been notified
the ceasefire is in effect and
91
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:14,920
we expect it to hold and we
expect this hostility to be
92
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,640
terminated within the next 12 to
14 hours.
93
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:22,440
All right, So what if is the
president likely at all to just
94
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:26,720
walk away from all of this if
these two sides can't maintain
95
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:28,320
some sort of civility in all
this?
96
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:30,440
In other words, if it gets to
the point where they're just not
97
00:05:30,840 --> 00:05:33,840
stopping with the the lobbying
of missiles and strikes and
98
00:05:33,840 --> 00:05:36,120
drones, do you think the
president would walk away from
99
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:39,160
all of this and just wash his
hands or, or is he able to do
100
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:41,920
that?
He is able to do that.
101
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:46,240
I did not foresee that
happening, and here's why I make
102
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:51,040
the statements that I did.
Quite frankly, the United States
103
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:55,320
has enough presence, shall we
say, with Israel to be able to
104
00:05:55,320 --> 00:06:00,800
have some very tourist
discussions and some very harsh
105
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:03,640
movements.
With Iran, we have the same
106
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:05,480
thing now that they have no
nuclear capability.
107
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:08,960
Knocked it out.
Plus, understand that whatever
108
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:12,160
leadership is left in Iran is
fighting for its very survival.
109
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:17,800
The Crown Prince Paholia is now
saying, hey, it's time for the
110
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:20,720
regime, the ayatollahs, to step
down.
111
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:22,840
They have done enough
destruction over the last 40
112
00:06:22,840 --> 00:06:25,600
years.
I'm coming back and we'll see.
113
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:29,960
And quite frankly, the polls
show that 7080% of Iranians are
114
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:34,240
tired of living under the
ayatollahs with harsh Cherie,
115
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:36,800
etcetera, etcetera, and want a
change.
116
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:41,000
So quite frankly, I think the
Iranian regime has its hands
117
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:44,280
full, would just determine
whether it can survive or
118
00:06:44,280 --> 00:06:45,960
whether there's going to be a
regime change.
119
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:49,840
We're talking with Michael
Letts, top national security
120
00:06:49,840 --> 00:06:53,200
expert and advisor and an
experienced law enforcement
121
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:55,240
officer.
So let's turn our attention here
122
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:57,920
at home.
I I I'm a little confused about
123
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:02,440
this potential sleeper cell
situation #1 because all it does
124
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:04,960
is enhance more law enforcement
presence.
125
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:09,440
Was absolutely hate #2 most
Iranians, You said 70%.
126
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:13,080
I mean, 7 out of 10 people who
are from Iran or in Iran hate
127
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:16,600
the regime, so why on earth
would be worried about sleeper
128
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:20,320
cells?
Well, our Intel shows we've done
129
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:24,000
this for some time, that there
is a very strong terrorist
130
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,320
networks already established in
this country.
131
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:30,280
It has banded together from
members of the cartels, member
132
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:35,880
of human sex trafficking
organizations, enemies abroad
133
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:38,960
such as the CCP and Iran and
others.
134
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:41,680
They finally figured it out.
Why don't we all band together?
135
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:44,840
We'll help fund things together
and let's try to create heaven
136
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:47,800
from within.
Now, after the launching of
137
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:51,480
missiles began, Israel, Iran,
and then of course, when the US
138
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:56,560
took out nuclear capabilities,
the Ayatollah's gut reaction was
139
00:07:56,560 --> 00:08:01,000
to call for a jihad against the
United States by the sleeper
140
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:05,120
cells that was activated.
We know we have sleeper cells
141
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:07,080
all over the place.
I've got a list of cities.
142
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:14,160
I'll pop off a few DC, Boca
Raton, Scarlett, New York, LA,
143
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:19,320
San Francisco, San Diego,
Dallas, and our list could go on
144
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:22,320
and on and on.
We know we have sleeper cell
145
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:24,720
presence.
So we are now dedicating our
146
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:28,840
intelligence in the Bureau to
make sure we pick this up and we
147
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:32,039
monitor any activity, any
activity that's moved we
148
00:08:32,039 --> 00:08:34,919
considered to be hostile.
We are prepared because you
149
00:08:34,919 --> 00:08:37,919
remember the President signed
the insurrection at last week,
150
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:42,480
the insurgent, our
insurrectionist riots that were
151
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:46,160
occurring on LA, across the
country, actually, you know, in
152
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:47,640
New York.
I mean, just you name it, they
153
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:50,320
were trying to put them
together, trying to create,
154
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:53,880
trying to break the law, attack
police officers, destroy
155
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:55,800
property.
And so military presence has
156
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:58,560
been used and that order is
still in effect.
157
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:02,040
We will use that military
presence should there be a
158
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:04,120
coordinated effort by these
terrorist cells.
159
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:05,960
You're beginning to see some of
the surface.
160
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:09,200
You saw the church attack in
Michigan.
161
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:11,360
Now they're saying, no, that
wasn't related.
162
00:09:11,680 --> 00:09:13,880
That's a little premature, quite
frankly.
163
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:17,600
We're seeing terrorist activity,
a lot of it.
164
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:21,760
We've leveled the awareness and
heightened security for the
165
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:25,200
country to red level under the
Homeland Security.
166
00:09:25,680 --> 00:09:27,720
And we are very being very
vigilant.
167
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:30,280
I will agree with exactly what
you said though, Jim.
168
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,080
This is a temporary measure.
This is not the way we want
169
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:36,040
life, everyday life in America.
We want to make sure we have
170
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:39,360
restored freedom, justice and
liberty and we can go back to
171
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:41,920
all of us as Americans.
I'm holding an arm and I do want
172
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:42,920
to throw this out.
Jim Hold.
173
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:44,920
On all of these.
Ties in together.
174
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:46,640
Let me check.
Let me take a quick break.
175
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:48,080
We'll come back and we'll let
you continue.
176
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:50,480
What you're talking about here.
Very important information,
177
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:53,080
Michael, Let's here with us on
America Today.
178
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:09,640
This segment of the program is
brought to you by Southwest
179
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:13,040
Florida dreamhome.com.
Let the journey begin with a new
180
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:15,840
real estate, maybe an investment
property or just a place you
181
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:19,080
could call home.
Southwest Florida dreamhome.com
182
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:21,840
is the place to start.
We've got Michael let's on the
183
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:24,560
line just before the break.
And Michael let's national
184
00:10:24,560 --> 00:10:27,840
security expert and advisor.
And we were talking about the
185
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:31,880
state of affairs internally
looking for possible sleeper
186
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:36,120
cells activated by those of our
enemies in the Middle East.
187
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:39,040
We don't know where the dark
money is flowing, but we're on
188
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:41,000
alert.
So I would say to you, Michael,
189
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:44,360
just before the break, you said
that it's temporary to have
190
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:46,240
these.
And you know, are we?
191
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:48,240
It almost sounds like we're in a
state of war.
192
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:51,640
We are in a state of war.
I'm very glad that you mentioned
193
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:56,320
that, that that quite frankly,
needs to be repeated very often
194
00:10:56,680 --> 00:10:58,720
for the next few days.
We are in a state of war.
195
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:01,600
There's no question about we
were in a state of war, you say,
196
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:04,120
against Iran.
No, we're in a state of war,
197
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:08,240
quite frankly, to make sure we
secure our country from those
198
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:11,400
who are trying to destroy it
from within the insurrectionist
199
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:14,120
rioters.
Yes, there are other nefarious
200
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:18,000
activities across the world.
CCP is doing everything they can
201
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,720
to help fund these riots across
this country.
202
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:24,160
They're doing everything they
can but continue to bring in the
203
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:27,440
chemicals necessary for the
manufacturing of fentanyl to
204
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:30,040
destroy our young people.
They are continuing, quite
205
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:36,400
frankly, to manufacture various
viruses that can be considered
206
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:41,240
deadly, hazardous virus, virus,
biological viruses that can
207
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:43,200
cause great harm to the American
people.
208
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:48,320
So quite frankly, if the truth
is the CCP has never been our
209
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:51,720
friend, it's been interesting.
The mainstream media has wanted
210
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:53,400
you to believe that it's been
Russia.
211
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:56,880
That should be our number one
adversarial concern.
212
00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:00,480
However, let me remind the
American people, the only
213
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:05,640
superpower who had an agreement
with Iran, that if Iran was ever
214
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:09,000
attacked, they would step in and
defend is Russia.
215
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:14,720
You'll notice Russia stood down.
You'll notice that China,
216
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:18,280
however, delivered armaments,
among other things, to try to
217
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:23,160
help prop up and continue the
escalation of hostilities with
218
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:26,640
Iran, Israel, and of course,
with our involvement as well.
219
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:32,080
So keep this in mind, folks.
Everything that you see has one
220
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:35,240
particular purpose in mind.
Globally, they are attempting to
221
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:38,760
destroy what's left of America
and we're going to make sure
222
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:41,000
with this new administration, we
defender and defender
223
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,080
vigorously.
Why am I tying it all in
224
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:45,840
together when it comes to human
sex trafficking?
225
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:52,000
And we have got 10s of thousands
of special forces that are
226
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:55,360
working across the world now,
not just ours, but others, to
227
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:58,480
eradicate human child sex
trafficking.
228
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:03,800
When it comes to protecting our
borders from drug cartels, when
229
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:08,440
it comes to eliminating the drug
cartels who have chosen to harm
230
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:11,840
American citizens, it all works
together.
231
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:16,680
This is all one major overhaul
trying to protect America's
232
00:13:16,680 --> 00:13:18,800
interests.
And when it comes, here's the
233
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:22,760
other key component I want us to
realize as Americans, none of
234
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:26,720
this happens without money.
Where has the money come from?
235
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:29,480
Almost all been China.
Well, yeah, I was given money.
236
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:35,480
So we have activists like George
Soros, Lily Christie Walton from
237
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:37,480
the Walmart Foundation,
etcetera, etcetera.
238
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:41,240
But however, a great bill of
that money has come from here.
239
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:45,000
It's come from you and I,
Unbeknownst to US, Congress has
240
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:50,040
used the money to fund NGOs that
insure and give them some of
241
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:52,160
that money back for their own
personal use.
242
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:55,560
And the NGOs they have funded
have one goal in mind, and
243
00:13:55,560 --> 00:13:58,800
that's to support these liberal
causes that destroy the very
244
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:02,760
fabric of America's society.
So we've got to clean that up as
245
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:05,000
well.
So here is why I'm trying to
246
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:08,640
stress in this quick interview
we're doing, Jim, everything
247
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:12,600
that you see is not peaceful.
It's all being played out for
248
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:15,800
one particular reason and that
is to bring liberty and Freedom
249
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:17,400
and Justice back to the American
people.
250
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:21,840
When you don't see a bill
passing, a budget bill, or when
251
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:24,080
you see one being pushed because
we have to do things
252
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:25,600
differently.
We're not going to continue with
253
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:28,840
continuing resolutions and fun
things without money to be
254
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:31,240
stolen from the US Treasury as
it has been in the past.
255
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:35,000
All this ties in.
If you have any questions, Jim
256
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,480
Watkins is the guy to listen to.
He just sent the best
257
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:40,520
information coming in or you
feel free to visit our website,
258
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:43,920
get anything else you may need.
But folks, we are in a war.
259
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:46,320
I love the way Jim said it.
We are in a war for the very
260
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:49,920
soul, the very future of
America, good versus evil.
261
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:53,840
We're making great progress and
great strife to winning that
262
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:56,760
war.
Often we'll have victory, but we
263
00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:59,440
won't have victory if we all
turn on ourselves.
264
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:01,080
We have to stay united as
Americans.
265
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:04,560
Man, it's just hard keeping
track of the hour by hour
266
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:07,720
developments.
But in your opinion, you believe
267
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:09,800
that?
And I've said this too, that
268
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:13,880
Trump is resistant to get too
involved because he wants to
269
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:16,520
have a legacy of being a
peacemaker and a deal maker,
270
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:19,600
even though the forces are
stacked up against him.
271
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:22,720
Who's he listening to right now,
in your opinion?
272
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:25,920
Who does he trust more as much
as anyone else?
273
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:28,800
But who is he really leaning on?
Is it Rubio?
274
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:32,120
Is it Who is it?
Who is in the inner circle that
275
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:35,480
that is echoing in?
And by the way, Pete Hegseth has
276
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:39,720
done a terrific job of keeping
secrets from escaping, which is
277
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:41,920
something the Biden
administration could never do.
278
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:47,320
Hence, we were able to have the
the bombing mission, the
279
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:51,080
Operation Midnight.
So hats off to Pete Hagseth.
280
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:53,320
But who is Trump leaning on
right now, you think?
281
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:59,080
Well, I will tell you this, that
has been his biggest frustration
282
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:05,800
is finding people that he can
trust who give him the advice
283
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:08,720
that he needs without trying to
further themselves.
284
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:11,680
I've often told the president
last people you want are the
285
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:13,680
people who are looking at the
next election.
286
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:17,200
You want somebody there who
hates being in DC, doesn't want
287
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:20,360
to be there for a minute, but
realizes he is answering the
288
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:23,000
call of his country and wants to
get it done as quickly as
289
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:26,560
possible and get home.
He so he my point of making that
290
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:30,000
is he has a lot of people that
you would not recognize that are
291
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:34,240
not known that are on the in the
inside giving advice for one
292
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:36,240
reason.
Don't have it, don't have a
293
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:39,560
paycheck, don't have a title,
don't not looking to be
294
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:42,280
appointed to a huge place for
the next 10 years.
295
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:44,880
Just want to serve my country
and get out of here.
296
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:48,160
And that's the best advice for
those are the people he needs to
297
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:51,400
be listening to the most.
All right.
298
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:55,320
Any word on this Minnesota
shooting of the two politicians
299
00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:59,600
and the shooter saying that Tim
Waltz wanted him to do it?
300
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:02,920
Do you have any Intel on that?
We do.
301
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:05,839
We are continuing to research
that now.
302
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:10,200
Obviously we know who is
appointed, what his philosophy
303
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:13,920
was, what the manifesto was,
unlike with the mainstream
304
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:16,280
media.
He definitely was a progressive
305
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:23,160
Democratic liberal and he
definitely was a usage to remind
306
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:26,280
Democrats that they either stick
together or are they going to
307
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:28,440
pay a big price for it.
Because the two Democrats, the
308
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:31,160
one that was killed, the Speaker
of the House, and the other that
309
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:34,080
was shot 9 times, the state
senator, were the only two
310
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:39,440
Democrats who had opted to, for
first time in generations, vote
311
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:42,840
against their party's platform
for a budget and refuse to
312
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:44,680
continue to fund illegal
immigration.
313
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:48,720
And so we know that that's the
purpose behind it.
314
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:52,000
How far, how much deeper it
goes, We're still investigating.
315
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:55,480
Very good.
Let's is with us today.
316
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:58,400
He'll be back tomorrow as well.
We've got a little more than a
317
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:00,720
minute.
How is your invest USA?
318
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:02,200
We don't talk about that too
much.
319
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:07,480
You we should though, because
you're especially now with so
320
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:11,320
many frontline defenders, you've
got law enforcement, ICE.
321
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:15,280
Are you getting the donations
you need to get the vests out to
322
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:18,800
these law enforcement officers?
Donations are up.
323
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:21,880
They're never where they need to
be, but they certainly are up
324
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:24,200
with more.
More officers are getting the
325
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:26,160
protection that they need.
Here's the key thing.
326
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:30,400
Then we have to send a message
to our first responders that
327
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:33,440
we've got their back, that we as
a country are determined to
328
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:35,480
protect them as much as they
protect us.
329
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:38,800
We can work this together.
We have great unlimited
330
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:42,320
possibilities for the future.
So make sure if you have an
331
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:45,280
opportunity, I've said this on
the year before with you, Jim, I
332
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:48,960
don't care where you can only
donate $0.50, donate something
333
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:53,240
so that we can tell the American
first responders, hundreds of
334
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:56,120
millions of Americans have your
back and they're behind you.
335
00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:58,520
And that would make such a big
difference in their performance
336
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:02,040
in the days ahead, which is
critical to America's survival.
337
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:06,200
All right, Michael, that's
always glad Invest usa.org is
338
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:08,440
his website.
We'll see you in 24 hours and
339
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:11,200
I'm sure there'll be a lot of
stuff to talk about tomorrow.
340
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:14,920
This is how quickly things are
changing in the landscape of
341
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:16,520
geopolitics.
Thanks again, Michael.
342
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:19,600
We'll talk to you in 24 hours.
God bless you, Jim.
343
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:21,440
God Bless America.
Keep doing what you're doing.
344
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:31,050
You're making a difference.
