00:00Good afternoon everybody. Good to see all of you. With President Trump as

00:08commander-in-chief, the world is a much safer place. After decades in which past

00:13presidents coddled and enabled the world's leading state sponsor of

00:17terrorism, President Trump finally ended the immediate threat of a nuclear

00:22Iranian regime. Following President Trump's command, the most powerful

00:27military in the history of the world executed massive precision strikes on

00:32three of the Iranian regime's key nuclear facilities. The objective of

00:37Operation Midnight Hammer was to destroy the regime's nuclear enrichment capacity

00:42and stop the grave nuclear threat posed to the United States, Israel, and the rest

00:47of the free world. The mission, which will go down in the history books, was an

00:52overwhelming success. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and the chairman of the

00:57Joint Chiefs of Staff Dan, Raisin, Kane, covered the operation in great detail at

01:01their briefing this morning at the Pentagon. And I encourage every American to watch

01:06it. As President Trump has said repeatedly, the United States of America has the

01:11greatest, fiercest, and bravest armed forces ever to stride the face of this

01:16earth. And we couldn't be more grateful and proud of our nation's warriors. The

01:21Iranian regime was weeks away from being able to produce a nuclear weapon that

01:25would threaten the entire world before President Trump took this decisive action

01:30on Saturday night to obliterate their nuclear capabilities. The contrast and

01:35leadership could not be more clear. Barack Obama and Joe Biden sent pallets of

01:40cash, American taxpayer dollars, in a failed attempt to buy the Iranian regime's

01:45compliance with a weak and ineffective deal. President Trump sent a fleet of

01:50American war planes to destroy Iran's ability to produce a nuclear weapon. The

01:56United States and the entire world are safer because of this president's

01:59decisiveness. Despite agenda-driven leaks by the fake news media aimed at

02:05undermining this incredible accomplishment achieved by President Trump and our

02:08brave fighter pilots, there is broad consensus emerging already that Iran's

02:13nuclear capabilities were indeed destroyed. The United States, Israel, the United

02:19Nations, and even Iran all agree they can no longer build a nuclear weapon. So what did

02:25the president and why did the president immediately turn to obliterating after the

02:30Iranian nuclear threat? Securing peace. Within 48 hours of the devastating strike,

02:35President Trump and his team brokered a historic ceasefire between Israel and Iran

02:40and officially ended the 12-day war. The Middle East is now shifting away from chaos and

02:47bloodshed and moving toward the beginning stages of a new era of peace and stability that President

02:53Trump has long called on them to achieve. This was unthinkable at this time last week. And this

02:59is what peace through strength looks like. Under President Trump, America will relentlessly advance

03:04our interests without being dragged into endless wars. His fearless leadership guarantees America is once

03:10again respected across the world.
