Mr. President, a year ago Pakistan faced external aggression from India under a false pretext. Pakistan exercised its inherent right of self-defense under Article 51 of the United Nations Charter, our brave and valiant armed forces under the courageous leadership of Field Marshal Saidassam Munir responded with precision and professionalism. They silenced the enemy, repulsed its attack, and taught it a lesson it shall never ever forget. And of course, thanks to President Donald Trump's resolute and visionary leadership, that hundreds of millions of lives in South Asia were saved. His timely intervention came at a decisive juncture when two nuclear-armed neighbors stood at the brink of an all-out war. And who knows, Mr. President, the extent of devastation that could have taken place had President Trump not stepped in at this critical moment with clarity of thought and action.

Here to discuss all of this is former Trump Deputy National Security Advisor, KT McFarland. Always great to see you, especially great to see you, KT, on this particular story because it's right in your wheelhouse. I want to start with Venezuela. When you step back and you look at this deal, and I get, you know, there are all kinds of other questions about this, but it does kind of make you wonder if when President Trump's memoirs are written, the whole, this whole situation in Venezuela, where the US winds up gaining access to these reserves, wasn't the precursor to his decision to then go after Iran? Oh, I think it was. And I think they probably thought Iran might be easier than it turned out to be, but it didn't. It turned out to be harder, but we still won. And that's the difference. We've won that. We've won that war. Because why? Because the oil that was moving through the Strait of Hormuz, 20 million barrels a day, it's going differently. It's going through the Strait of Hormuz. Yeah, I'm probably 10 million barrels a day now because we've cleared the southern route. But a lot of that oil that used to move by tankers is now moving by pipeline. And it's not going to go back to tankers. And then some of the shortfall has been made up by American oil and natural gas that's moving out of the United States. So at the end of the day, we got rid of the nukes. And if they try to rebuild the nukes, well, we'll bomb those again. And as far as the importance of the Strait, it's going to be increasingly irrelevant, especially because of the Venezuela oil connection. We are now controlling a quarter of the world's oil and whoever controls the world's energy, the world's fossil fuels in the years ahead controls the future. You know, it's kind of amazing to think about, but for five decades, Iran has used their ability to put the squeeze in the Strait of Hormuz to get exact, you know, political things from other people. It's almost like they kind of pulled that bluff this time with the wrong dude, and it didn't work out for them. And they may have broken the one thing, the one lever that they've always had. You know, that's the point. They thought they were dealing with, you know, typical American president. They didn't realize it was Donald Trump and he plays by different games. And so they thought, okay, we're going to close the Strait of Hormuz just like we tried to do with President Reagan, just like we've tried to do many times before. But because Donald Trump already had the Armada prepositioned, he could then put a blockade on Iran. So for six months, no ships have gone into Iran. No ships have gone out of Iran. Their economy is spiraling. And yet at the same time, we've got this workaround of how to get oil to the world. You're going to see oil prices start to go down. I think pretty dramatically now that that shortfall of 20 million barrels a day, that's now getting to the producers. That's getting to the refineries. And it wasn't three weeks ago. It wasn't two months ago. Now it is. And so the price of oil should start coming down and hopefully the price of gasoline to follow. So not only is it significant in terms of American power in Venezuela, the U.S. having control of that. It also means that our enemies, our biggest rivals, whether it's a country like Cuba or a country like China, doesn't have access, free access for cut rate oil from Venezuela. Yeah, China had been all over South America trying to get their hands on Venezuelan and other other resources, oil as well. And now they're gone. They're out of there. They're not having any access to that. All China can get is that Iranian oil, which they're probably not getting that much of anyway. The genius of President Trump is that he realizes as a businessman, what's the best country solution you can have to all of your trade, all of your commerce, all of your manufacturing, all of your production to do it nearby. So we don't have to think about trans-specific trade or transatlantic trade. We're now going to have a Western hemisphere united at peace, trading with each other and under the United States leadership. The cheap goods that we've been importing from China for decades, they're going to now be made in South America. And because of the energy, particularly as we look to the future and the requirements of the data centers and artificial intelligence, and he's a lot more energy. Well, who's going to have all the energy? Us. Yes. Make the Western hemisphere great again. KT McFarland, as always, really appreciate it. Thank you so much.

Where do I even begin with this? So, let's start here. Nobody has done more to rebuild and save the Republican Party than Donald Trump since Abraham Lincoln himself. President Trump inherited a broken shell, a hollowed-out husk of a political party after the Bush years, after the Ryan years, after the sellout years, and he turned it into the working-class party, the middle-class party. And he took states that had been blue forever. He took the blue wall. He took states like Wisconsin, states like Ohio, states like Pennsylvania. He pulverized that blue wall. How many Senate races have we seen? Were President Trump won a state by eight points, nine points, 10 points, 11 points? And it was just enough to bring along the Republican senator by half a point or a point to build that Senate Republican majority. How many Senate candidates has he dragged along to victory? And how many rhinos has he forced out of the party to elect real, working-class, populist Republicans, people like, for example, Eric Schmidt, who represent the future of the Republican Party, where it is today? President Trump has raised more money for Republican candidates than any human in history. He has more enthusiasm and support from Republican voters than any candidate in history. I could keep going, Laura. The reality is, as he said, President Trump is dead on right here. What this comes down to is the Trump voter needs to show up in the midterm.

This is a great interview, by the way. I'm really enjoying watching this. I love that the president makes time to do these great chemistry. I'm just enjoying it. I love hearing from the president. I love that he makes the time to talk endlessly with the press and talk directly to the American people about this. And if you notice, the socialist candidates always come for law and order first, and that's by design. They have to get rid of police. They have to get rid of ICE. They have to get rid of the guardrails that keep society safe so that they can push through their agenda. And what we've seen is a lot of these socialist candidates, they're pretty slick talkers, right? We've seen the mom donnies. We've seen some of these socialist candidates. They're real slick, but you notice the stance that they all distance from when they're pressed on it is law and order. Anytime they have passed comments about defund the police, they try to score them away for those because they don't want to have to own that because they know how unpopular that is with the American people. The president also mentioned Michigan, you know? He won Michigan in 2024. Yeah, he said that. And he did that partly, I just wanted, because it's so important, historic win for him. He won it partly by winning Arab American Democrats. He flipped the endorsement of the Democrat mayor in Hamlet track, Michigan, America leave. We think Al Sayed is going to be, you know, our guy. President Trump has given Republicans the playbook on how to keep Michigan. It's interesting. We talk about this whole thing where there's crime and the Democrats are, I mean, the Democrats have become because they'd love to, you know, as part of the agenda to show how much they hate things, right? Oh, we low, though, it's Israel. We hate this. And they've a lot of hatred for a lot of things. But when you start breaking the law, they start to fall back in love again, and it's just kind of a weird dynamic. Well, it's not a winning message to defund the police. And yet they keep resurfacing this message. What did the DSA platform say? We want to defund the police, defund ICE, but they have to keep coming back. People want safe cities. President Trump has brought crime down to historic lows since like 1900. We're at 126 year low trace and people want this. So the socialist agenda is going to further detach them from the Democrat establishment. And the Democrat establishments are going to have to start saying, yes, we want ICE. Yes, we want police. Yeah. I'm wondering, Elizabeth Pipko, what you think about the trend here, the Democratic Socialist of America and the candidates being backed by the DSA like Al Sayed, I'm wondering what your take on this. You know, a lot of people say, oh, you was the Tea Party and they kind of they were a big thing and then they kind of fell apart and there's still parts of it still moving. What is your thought on the growing, I guess the growing popularity of the DSA? Well, look, I think they're going to continue to grow. I think we're going to see that tonight. We're going to see that next week with the primary in Wisconsin. And we're going to see it with the demise ultimately of the Democrat Party, which I think is exactly what they deserve. Considering Donald Trump warned about the socialist takeover back in 2015, long before he was ever elected to the Oval Office, he was laughed at. He was told he was wrong by several senior leaders in the Democrat Party. And like with many other things, Trace, he was proven to be 100 percent correct. But again, in our country, socialism, which is the easy way out, will always lose. There is a reason that to our capitalist society, thousands of people try to come every single year because they know that in our country, hard work and big ideas will always win a toy. Donald Trump was admired long before he was ever president and that's why socialism will always lose out to those who want to make the world a better place.

-President turns 80 years old, same day as this broadcast. You see him every day, almost every day. He's 80 years old, almost, as we talk right now. People talk about President's health going back to the founding of the country. How do you see it knowing you're not a medical professional? How do you see his health, his energy at this age? -Yeah, so first of all, if this is airing on June 14th, the most important day today is not the President's birthday. It's happy anniversary to my lovely wife, so this is our, I guess, 12th wedding anniversary. But, you know, my sense of the President's health is that it's off the charts good. His focus, his energy, his constant grinding. I mean, the presidency is a crazy job. You constantly have, you know, more than a dozen cabinet secretaries. You have every particular crisis that comes up. They're coming to you at all hours of the night. And the joke that I have with Scott Besant, our Treasury Secretary, is we get to call it 2.30 in the morning, and it's the President. And he's like, "Were you awake?" And it's like, "Yes, sir, I'm always awake at 2.30 a.m." And that's been my sense of the President, is that he's constantly going. I think that he feels a sense of, you know, if you're lucky, you get eight years in that job. He's one of the lucky ones. But eight years is not that long, and he's trying to make every single day count, so he's constantly pushing everybody to do as much as possible. So I think he's in great health. I think, you know, you see people, the media constantly talking about that. I guess this is just something the media is gonna talk about. But from what I've seen, I've literally never once thought to myself, he doesn't have the stamina or the energy to do this job. - Never once. - If anything, not once. If anything, he's got more stamina and energy than a lot of people in the cabinet who are 30 years his junior. And I think that's a good thing, 'cause you want a President who is able to do that grind every single day.

I want to just go back a little bit in history if I have time briefly. President Trump single-handedly stopped Iran from getting a nuclear weapon. Beginning in term one, when he tore up the JCPOA, Obama's Iran nuclear deal that made them richer and more powerful than ever before, gave them cold hard cash, gave them hundreds of billions of dollars in financial support, and gave them a direct path to a nuclear weapon, which would not only change the balance of power in the Middle East, not only change the balance of power in the region, but change the balance of power in the whole world. Nuclear blackmail on planet Earth, its commerce, its energy, its trade, its national security. President Trump then, of course, took out Soleimani, one of the evil masterminds of so much bloodshed and mayhem across planet Earth. Then, Operation Midnight Hammer obliterates their nuclear weapons program, and now with Operation Epic Fury, he has decapitated Iran's leadership, he has destroyed their navy, destroyed their air force, destroyed their defense industrial base, all of these things to protect peace, safety, and security in the world. Now, there's a new team in place in Iran, and a result of these negotiations, the United States is closer than ever before to inking an agreement that is going to finally create the roadmap for peace, security, and prosperity in the Middle East, and for solving this nuclear program once and for all. This is an extraordinary, momentous fulcrum point in the history of the world, and President Trump alone deserves the credit for bringing us to this point. I couldn't be prouder to be part of this administration and watch this happen and play out in real time.

Two men stand in the foreground holding up a large printed photo between them: the photo shows Donald Trump wearing a red Buffalo Bills cap and a dark suit, giving a thumbs-up gesture in front of a blue backdrop covered in Buffalo Bills logos. The man on the left wears a black puffer jacket with a name tag reading "Bruce A. Bl..." (partially obscured) and is smiling. The man on the right has a gray beard, wears a red Buffalo Bills beanie and red/white/blue camo-pattern overalls with a red shirt. Behind them is a blue pop-up canopy tent, a van/bus with "...ALO BILL-IEVER BUS" painted on it in Bills team colors, snow piled up, bare trees, other bundled-up tailgaters sitting on a snowbank, and a portable toilet/structure with people near it. In the lower right corner is a blue sign reading "FIRE KATHY HOCHUL. GO BILLS." Some tailgate supplies (a cooler, folding table items) sit near the sign.
