00:00You know, we've done a great job, and I think people are really starting to see it.

00:06They're starting to appreciate it. Pete's done fantastically.

00:08That mission was a work of art.

00:12And I have spoken to some of our perceived, I don't know if they're enemies,

00:16but they're perceived as being potential enemies.

00:19And they essentially said the same thing, very impressive.

00:23There wasn't a thing that we didn't even, we didn't lose an engine.

00:27We didn't lose any, it just, they landed and they were cheered.

00:31But the sad thing was, they were cheered, and one of the pilots said,

00:34you know, we were a little concerned because when we got out,

00:37we were told that on television they were reporting that we may have missed our targets.

00:42Sir, we hit every target. That's what I do for a living.

00:44We hit every target. In fact, when I saw, when we dropped, when the bombs hit,

00:50a yellow haze came over the horizon that I've never seen before.

00:56It just lit up the whole horizon, brighter than the sun.

01:00It was like looking into the sun.

01:02He goes, we hit our target because you know what that was that was exploding.

01:06And, but they were a little downbeat because they listened to that fake CNN reporting

01:13and the fake New York Times.

01:15They worked together to try and say that it wasn't, wasn't perfect.

01:19They couldn't say they missed.

01:21All they could say is maybe it wasn't perfect.

01:24And you ought to fire that reporter immediately.

01:27You should fire her.

01:28A real fake.

01:30And so I just want to congratulate those pilots.

01:33And, you know, a lot of people don't like bringing things like that up.

01:37I do.

01:37I always like confronting because otherwise the public doesn't know that you're a bunch of crooked people.

01:42But, but they know, they've learned.

01:45And the media has to straighten out their act.

01:47You know, the media is down to 17% approval.

01:50You got to do a little better than that.

01:52It's important for the country that you do better.

01:54I think they ought to make a lot of changes.

01:55I think changes are going to be made to the media.

01:57But it's hard to have a really successful country if you have a corrupt media.

02:03And we really have a corrupt media.

02:05And nobody really knows why.

02:07I mean, why would you want to have open borders and criminals pouring into our country?

02:12Why would you want to have men playing in women's sports, transgender for everyone?

02:17You know, you'll have to figure that out.

02:19But some of you don't.

02:21I mean, I'm looking at some people.

02:22They love the country.

02:23But I look at other people and they can't.

02:25But we're really proud of our military.

02:28It was, and, and, and the people that maybe don't like us or want to play games with us,

02:34because I think that had you not had the situation in Afghanistan,

02:39I don't think Putin would have gone in.

02:40I think when Putin looked at how stupid and incompetent that operation was,

02:45he said, wow, this might be a chance.

02:47And he's, we're dealing with him now too.

02:51That's, we're not happy with Putin.

02:53I'm not happy with Putin.

02:54I can tell you that much right now.

02:56Because he's killing a lot of people.

02:58And a lot of them are his soldiers.

03:00His soldiers and their soldiers, mostly.

03:03And it's now up to 7,000 a week.

03:06And I'm not happy with Putin.

03:08Okay.
