Now we pay $1 trillion per year just on the interest of the United States national debts. And what is Donald Trump doing? He's not paying off the debt. He's asking for $200 billion to go to war. And then he's asking for hundreds of billions of dollars more from random companies to build his ballroom. Mind you, his ballroom can only be built because he sued a bunch of media and news corporations. He sued a bunch of universities and said, if you want me to drop this lawsuit, I need you to put money towards my ballroom. So they settled and they funded his …”

“… we will. And I say the same to every American who wants peace through France. All right. So the families, they of the fallen soldiers, they told Pete, you know what? It's worth it. Let's finish this. Finish the damn job. Except some of the families are disputing that conversation Father of service member Kildenai Iranwar said he never told Pete Hegseth to finish the job They go on to say in this article that they are just a little confused and unsure. You know, I mean, these are patriotic families, right? So, you know, this is not something that they want to believe that their son or …”
“… remarks. He asked about the war and the families I met at Dover. And I looked at him and I said, they died for you. So that your generation doesn't have to deal with the nuclear Iran. It's the truth. It is. So to the families who said, finish this, we will. And I say the same to every American who wants peace through France. All right. So the families, they of the fallen soldiers, they told Pete, you know what? It's worth it. Let's finish this. Finish the damn job.

You know, I mean, these are patriotic families, right? So, you know, this is not something that they want to believe that their son or daughter, you know, died for a reason. But they're just they just are not sure. And that was the conversations in this report that they were asking Pete about. I hope this is worth it. Just so senseless.

“… be using the Iranian barrels against the Iranians to keep the price down for the next 10 or 14 days as we continue this campaign. We then heard from Pete Hegseth earlier in the day as well, where Hegseth talked about, we need $200 billion to kill the bad guys. Yeah, to kill the bad guys. How despicable is this guy? Here, play this clip. What happened with Midnight Hammer and what happened with that as well. As far as $200 billion, I think that number could move, obviously. It takes money to kill bad guys. So we're going back to Congress and our folks there to ensure that we're properly funded …”
“… unsanction the Iranian oil that's on the water. It's about 140 million barrels. So depending on how you count it, that's 10 days to two weeks of supply that the Iranians had been pushing out. That would have all gone to China. In essence, we will be using the Iranian barrels against the Iranians to keep the price down for the next 10 or 14 days as we continue this campaign. We then heard from Pete Hegseth earlier in the day as well, where Hegseth talked about, we need $200 billion to kill the bad guys. Yeah, to kill the bad guys. How despicable is this guy?
