00:00And I have never in my lifetime seen the world falling apart like it is under Joe Biden.
00:07And that's because under President Trump, we had a president who defeated ISIS,
00:14broke Iran, stood with Israel, always stood with our allies,
00:21made China pay. You didn't see any spy balloons under President Trump, did you?
00:27No.
00:29He deterred Russia. You know what he told Putin?
00:34You try anything, and I'll take the tops off the Kremlin.
00:38And he didn't dare, did he? He did under Obama. He did under Biden, but not under Donald J. Trump.
00:45He defused North Korea. And importantly, he got our hostages home and didn't pay
00:55billions of dollars to get our Americans back.
01:01And here's my favorite part about Donald Trump, the commander in chief.
01:06He sat across the table from the bureaucrats and the generals and said,
01:12if you don't give our troops what they need, you know what he told the generals?
01:18You're fired. You're out of here. We're cleaning house.
01:23Everything takes too long, costs twice as much and delivers half of what our troops need.
01:29And what do we have today? What do we have today with President Biden? What's he focused on?
01:37He's focused on pronouns. He's focused on renaming bases. He's focused on DEI.
01:45And here's my favorite. He's focused on building electric tanks.
01:50Has anybody seen any charging stations in the Middle East for Biden's electric tanks?
01:58And here's what I can tell you straight up in combat.
02:04Our enemy's bullets, listen to me, folks, our enemy's bullets could give a damn about black,
02:11white, or brown, or about religion, or about gender, or about anything else.
02:16The only colors that matter in the foxhole are the red, white, and blue, baby.
02:21That's the only thing that matters. That's the only thing our military should care about.
02:26And that's the only thing our fellow soldiers care about.
02:28And that's the only thing President Trump cares about.
