ISIS was destroyed, Iran was broke, and we had the Abraham Accords breaking out across the Middle East. Trump is literally the only modern president that left the Middle East better than he found it. And by the way, this faction of ISIS is coming from Afghanistan. How many of us warned that what happens in Afghanistan does not stay in Afghanistan? Now they have an entire caliphate, a state from which to operate and to attack all over the world. And they're working very closely with ISIS in Syria that has 40 to 60,000 fighters holed up in these camps with us barely keeping a lid on. This thing is set to explode. ISIS is a ticking time bomb and the first and we don't know that they hear. And the irony is they came across Russia's literally their southern border where they have the stands down there Tajikistan Uzbekistan and they were importing labor because of their shortage their manpower shortage in Ukraine and ISIS came right up into those flows. It's just like they're doing on our southern board.

Kamala's closing message to America is that she hates you. My closing message is that I love America and I'm inviting you to join us in building an extraordinary future for America. My oath of office is an oath of allegiance to you, the American people, and I'm asking for your vote, but I want you to know that whether or not you vote for me, when I win I will fight for you with every breath of my body I will. Everything we have been fighting for these past four years comes down to the next four days. With your help from now until election day, we will restore America's promise that we will take back the nation that we love.

retired U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel James Carofano, 25 years in the U.S. military as an Army veteran and senior counselor now to the Heritage Foundation president. You joined me live recently when we were broadcasting just ahead of the 4th of July and the tall ships were starting to come in on the Hudson River. And that's really when I learned a lot about your military strategy, more than I had ever known. So I'm so grateful to you to join us on this day. This war is now ratcheted up. We could see it coming. The president promised if Iran didn't come to the deal or come to the table to do a deal. How do you categorize this day? Yeah. So first I would go back to something I said when we were together before the 4th of July, which was that people said, well, why doesn't the president go just go in and finish it? Why don't we do more of this? And because the president doesn't want to waste lives. I mean, we tragically lost some American in uniform because they're always at risk. So here's the good news, which is the strikes are relatively limited. The way they did this was relatively novel that they had a successful strike. I'm pretty sure the U.S. is going to adjust for that, so they won't be able to do that again. And what's really important is all of our regional allies are even more with us than ever. So and that's, I think, really important. And then the most important thing is, look, I mean, we went from saying the big deal is the Iranians can close the strait to them be saying, well, they can interdict the strait. And now they're rapidly losing the capacity to do that. So they're there the longer they fight this war, the worse off they are. And the most important thing is look at what a whole they're digging themselves in. Now they've got to rebuild bridges, power plants, all their military. I mean, to get back to where they were a year ago, that is just going to take forever. Look, I have a couple of questions that just have to do with getting the job done in whatever amount of time it would take. And everybody roots for quickly, I'm certain. We don't want to see any loss of life. I mean, the president says that on all sides. We don't want any loss of life, especially not our own as American citizens. But you talk about the Gulf and everybody being on our sides in terms that you've got the Abraham Accords, got a lot of partners, now friends in the region. When they take incoming, though, it's a lot different than us. Our militaries are not our military. And our protection mission just got bigger. Right. And we are seeing a rapidly increasing capacity in the region for countries to protect themselves. And what's really interesting is working with Israel and seeing Israeli capabilities being brought to the table. But again, a lot of this is there's a much diminished capacity in the part of the Iranians to do anything. This has enormous long term consequences. These people are never as long as that regime is there, they're never going to trust this regime again. So these countries will work together in the future to build up deterrence against future Iranian threats. I'm really sure of that. Yeah. And that took me right to my second question. You did it. We know we can't trust them like we know they've shown us many times who they really are. Now everybody in the region says, well, wait a minute. We don't want to sink money and time and resources into something that's also not going to bear fruit. Who do you deal with on the ground in Iran? Well, I don't know. The important thing is you deal with the things you can deal with. What we can deal with is really build up the deterrent force against that. So for example, we are in Iraq in a way that we have not been since the early days of the war. We have an Iraqi government which is cooperating with the United States more than ever. We just sealed a huge oil deal with them to bring more resiliency to the oil industry in the region. They are working to kick the Iranian militias, diminish them and get them out of the country. This was unthinkable four or five years ago. So I know people are fixated by the losses, which are terrible, and how long does this take, but our position in the region is the strongest that it's been since the end of World War II. I mean, we are so – we have been dealing with this from Jimmy Carter. Since the days of Jimmy Carter, we have never had a position in the region this strong to create a better future for the region. And then that means less trouble for us, less work for us, safe for America. And I just think that this is at the price we are paying. Trust me, it is going to pay off for decades. An Iranian-American academic identified as a regime mouthpiece says that Tehran, the capital of Iran, wants U.S. troops on the ground in Iran. Watch this. The focus of Iranian strikes are on Bahrain and Kuwait, and that's because that's where all the American – most of the American assets have been placed for a ground invasion. The Iranians – we discussed this too during the 40-day war before on your show when I said that the Iranians actually want the Americans to carry out a land invasion. And the same is true now. Because they felt that if there was a land invasion, they would win. My dad said one of the lessons that you learn from wars like Vietnam is that some people just like to fight. And while the communists in that war, my dad would say, may have had a vision, the one that we were clear eyed on was they wanted to kill and they wanted to fight, which is why it was so hard. Your take on what was just said in that clip. Yeah, you don't fight the war of the enemy once, right? This is a country that's the size of Texas. We could put every American in uniform in the middle of Iran, and we could not control that country. So the idea that we're going to go invade this thing, that's just nuts. We're not going to fight them on their terms. That's just stupid. And then when they try to bring the fight to us like they have, what do they get in return? They get absolutely decimated. So I don't see this administration changing course. You know, again, we've talked about regime change. It brings all other kinds of challenges and things. The point is, we don't know the dollar figure or the life figure, you know, what would it take to get the regime? We don't know that. So that's, I don't think, a credible goal for the U.S. But the U.S. can do what it's doing now, which is completely eliminating their capacity to interdict the straits. They've taken nuclear weapons off the table. The country can't build a nuclear weapon. Their arsenals are shadow. A matter of fact, these attacks show, actually, that Iran cannot threaten the reign of death, that it literally could have threatened a country with a year ago. And what have we heard from the surrogates, the Hamas, Hezbollah and everybody else? I mean, they're just sitting on their hands, which is exactly what we want. So I think we're in good shape.

The Biden-Harris administration is gaslighting you, the American people, when it comes to the security of our southern border, and the amount of illegal aliens entering the United States. They're mass importing as many aliens as possible, but they're illegally using methods to prevent the American people from knowing just how many aliens are actually entering the country. President Biden borders our Vice President Harris and Secretary of Homeland Security Mayorkas have used a phone app called CBP-1 to help illegal aliens get fast pass entry into the United States. Long-standing federal law requires aliens to have a visa before traveling to the United States. They have to take a number of steps before they can come, including filling out a detailed application, completing an interview with a consular officer, getting a medical exam, proving they can support themselves, and other critical vetting steps. But the CBP-1 app gets rid of all of that. No visa, no problem. Instead, illegal aliens from across the globe are encouraged to download an app and head near a port of entry, schedule an appointment, and then go to the port of entry even though they don't have visas, and the law forbids their entry into the United States. No visa, no problem. The aliens don't even have to try to cross the border illegally. The Biden-Harris administration lets them in the front door. Essentially, the Biden-Harris administration created its own immigration system, a fast pass for illegals, on a phone app. Even though there is no law that permits it, the CBP-1 app lets aliens enter basic information about themselves and submit a picture. It's like a dating app for immigration, except DHS almost always swipes right. DHS consistently approves over 95% of applicants through the CBP-1 app each month. Since January 2023, 680,500 aliens have been processed through the app. 31,800 aliens were processed in June 2024 alone, and those who enter using the CBP-1 app are not counted in the U.S. Border Patrol encounter statistics. For the Biden-Harris administration, no visa, no problem.

We have some good news because the recent war that you just saw, they just announced, I see. The newest of the five, now this would be six that we've stopped. I have six wars on the list. I'm averaging about a war a month, but the last three were very close together. India and Pakistan and a lot of them. Congo was just, and Rwanda was just done. But you probably know, I won't go into it very much because I don't know the final numbers yet. I don't know. Numerous people were killed, and I was dealing with two countries that we get along with very well, very different countries from a certain standpoint. They've been fighting for 500 years intermittently, and we solved that war. Probably, so it just came out over the wire, so we solved it through trade. I said, "I don't want to trade with anybody that's killing each other." So we just got that one solved. And I'm going to call the two prime ministers who I got along with very, very well and speak to them right after this meeting and congratulate them. But it was an honor to be involved, and that was going to be a very nasty war. Those wars have been very, very nasty. So we've done a lot of good work. We've had great support from the prime minister any time we needed help, any time we needed any form of support. You've been there. We appreciate it very much. And we're going to continue onward.

He sent me a line to keep, ooh. - He's the worst president that we ever had. - Joe Biden, please go back to Delaware because New York City, you have no idea what we need. - He's a slimy mother (beep), you know? He take you out of the lunch and stick the fork up your ass right after. Who do you want to win the 2024 election? Joe Biden or Donald Trump? - Donald Trump, I want Donald Trump. - Trump, Trump. - That happens to be me in case you forget. - When he was in, it was no crime, crime was down. - Uncle Donald, no cap, that's a nice guy. - Trump is straight up and down, like six o'clock. At least I know what I get when it comes to him. - I was more comfortable with Donald Trump in office. - I'm not voting for Joe Biden. - And you ain't black. - Trump, that's right, I said it. That's right, I said it. What do you like about Donald Trump? He don't bull (beep), he don't care, like, you know, I like that. Trump was giving back people money.
