A girl had a attack .

1:04

the duck dies

1:06

.

government and mainstream media . The Ryan

is your host , ryan Samuels .

1:54

Hello patriots , another

1:57

day where Joe Biden is

1:59

the worst president in American history

2:01

. That is really hard

2:03

for me to say , because we've had some terrible

2:05

presidents . Joe Biden is

2:08

an absolute disgrace

2:10

to the United States

2:12

of America . Now you

2:15

may be saying why ? Well , why

2:17

is it just basically the way that he runs the country

2:19

. That's number one . It's terrible , it's

2:22

disgusting . Two

2:26

in Afghanistan , he

2:28

just had zero regard

2:30

for our troops and their

2:32

lives when

2:35

he pulled out of Afghanistan . He

2:38

has been completely weak with

2:40

Iran and now

2:42

we have lost three

2:45

American service members . They

2:47

were killed by a drone in

2:50

Jordan and

2:53

the drone was following

2:55

a US drone which penetrated the defense

2:57

system . And then it was a Kamikaze or suicide

2:59

drone and three Americans

3:02

were killed , along with 35

3:04

or 40 injured . That was

3:07

Sergeant Williams Rivera of

3:09

Carlton , georgia , specialist Kennedy Sanders

3:12

of Waycross , georgia , and

3:14

Specialist Breanna Moffitt of Savannah

3:17

, georgia . It's

3:23

a very sad thing to

3:25

hear that any American

3:28

service member has

3:31

died , especially when

3:33

you feel that it could have been prevented . Now

3:36

, when you take the oath , you've read

3:38

a blank check for up to and including your

3:40

life . It's the way that it is . You

3:43

go in . You fully understand that

3:46

you could die . Now , when

3:48

I was in . We were in the hardcore

3:50

Iraq Afghanistan

3:52

full war mode . Now

3:54

I'm sure that these individuals joined

3:56

the ones that were killed and injured , thinking that the

3:59

war is over and we're not

4:01

really going to have a major war

4:03

coming soon , most likely because

4:06

we just entered two major wars . The

4:10

way that Joe Biden has handled the military

4:12

is disgraceful . We

4:14

remember this incident

4:17

from when Joe Biden just pulled out of Afghanistan

4:19

and 12 Marines died

4:22

, or 13 Marines died , and

4:24

the Afghani people were

4:27

left behind on their own . They

4:31

were left behind on their own . The Biden

4:33

administration left behind

4:36

informants that helped the

4:38

United States military achieve its

4:40

goals in Afghanistan . They

4:42

left behind interpreters that helped

4:44

the US military achieve their

4:46

goals in Afghanistan . They leftthis

4:49

was a humanitarian crisis . They just left

4:51

these people behind to die . Let's

4:54

watch this video that

4:56

shows the last plane leaving

4:59

the runway at the Kabul

5:01

airport and all the citizens

5:03

flocking to it , hanging off of

5:05

it , trying to leave with the

5:08

US aircraft . Afghan

5:15

sprint , alongside a US military aircraft

5:17

is going to take off , an apparent

5:19

attempt to prevent it from leaving without them

5:21

. You see people

5:23

jumping on , hanging on to the

5:25

aircraft , which

5:29

is just not going to work . Now

5:32

we're not going to watch this entire video

5:34

, because there is a point where

5:36

the aircraft takes off and

5:39

people fall off the side of it . That's how

5:41

desperate they were to leave

5:43

the country . And now we have this

5:45

Jordan incident , where Joe

5:48

Biden has just been completely

5:51

weak . Completely

5:54

weak on the

5:56

Iran issue

5:58

and the Israel issue and Gaza , because

6:01

he doesn't care about American lives , he

6:03

doesn't care about the safety of America , he

6:05

only cares about being re-elected

6:07

. So here's Joe Biden crumbling

6:10

, breaking down after

6:12

the withdrawal from Afghanistan .

6:15

Mr President , there had not been a US service

6:17

member killed in combat in Afghanistan

6:19

since February of 2020 . You

6:22

set a deadline , you pulled troops

6:24

out , you sent troops back in and

6:26

now 12 Marines are dead . You

6:29

said the buck stops with you . Do

6:31

you bear any responsibility for

6:34

the way that things have unfolded in the last two weeks

6:36

?

6:37

I bear responsibility for fundamentally

6:40

all that's happened of

6:42

late , but here's the deal .

6:44

You always know it's a line of BS coming

6:47

when he says but here's the deal .

6:48

You know , I wish you one day say

6:51

these things . You know as well as I

6:53

do that the

6:55

former president made

6:57

a deal with the Taliban . He

7:00

would get all American forces

7:02

out of Afghanistan

7:04

by May 1 . In

7:07

return , the commitment was made , and that was

7:09

a year before . In

7:11

return , he was given a commitment that

7:13

the Taliban would continue

7:16

to attack others but

7:18

would not attack any American forces

7:20

. Remember that .

7:23

That sounds like a pretty good deal . That

7:26

sounds like a great deal . Unfortunately

7:28

, when you took off , has that changed and

7:31

US troops were attacked and

7:33

they were killed when they were leaving .

7:36

I'm being serious . No , I'm

7:38

asking you a question Because before no

7:42

, no , no , wait a minute I'm asking you a question . Is

7:45

that accurate ?

7:49

I don't think that the issue that Do you think

7:51

that people have an issue with ?

7:53

Wait , look at him .

7:53

He's just headed in his hands with

7:56

pulling out of Afghanistan , for just a wave of things

7:58

that happened .

8:00

I think they have an issue that

8:04

people are

8:06

like to get hurt Some

8:09

, as we've seen , have gotten killed and

8:12

that it is messy . Imagine

8:16

where we'd be if

8:19

I had indicated on

8:22

May 1 . I

8:25

was not going to renegotiate

8:27

an evacuation

8:29

date . We were going to stay there

8:32

. I had only one alternative

8:34

Pour thousands

8:36

of more troops back into Afghanistan

8:38

. Ladies and gentlemen , it

8:41

was timed and a 20-year

8:43

war . Thank you so much .

8:46

I'm going to address what he's saying . First , he

8:49

comes out and says that this is

8:51

a while ago it was , I

8:53

think , 2022 , two years

8:56

ago . He

8:59

comes out and says that , well , trump negotiated

9:01

that they wouldn't kill any Americans , but

9:05

yet Americans died under

9:09

your watch . Obviously

9:11

, you didn't do that freaking good of a job , joe

9:13

, if

9:15

the negotiation was they weren't going to kill any Americans

9:17

. And then , all of a sudden , you

9:20

come out and

9:22

you withdraw

9:25

, just in a terrible

9:27

fashion , and all

9:29

of our military equipment is left behind

9:31

for terrorists to use in

9:34

future attacks , presumably

9:37

the one that led in

9:39

Israel . Now , this

9:45

is terrible , that we lost these troops

9:47

. This was done

9:49

by proxies from Iran

9:51

. Everything , all the doors , all the

9:53

roads lead back to Iran . Now

9:56

there are

9:58

a lot of conservatives

10:00

or libertarians who say they don't want war with Iran . I

10:02

don't think anybody wants war , but

10:04

I do think that a message needs to be sent that you

10:07

do not fuck with the United States

10:09

of America and you do not kill

10:11

our troops , and if you

10:13

do , we are going to annihilate your soul

10:15

. That

10:18

needs to be understood . The

10:21

United States military presence

10:24

in the region is to stop

10:26

a regional war , to stop it from breaking

10:28

out , because all of these groups Hezbollah

10:31

, hamas , the

10:34

Houthi rebels they're all funded by

10:36

Iran and Iran's

10:38

just got $6 billion from

10:41

the Biden administration

10:44

. Let's see what

10:46

Joe Biden had to say on

10:49

this situation .

10:50

President Biden is under increasing pressure

10:52

to respond in a way that stops these

10:54

attacks for good . Iran-backed

10:56

militants have targeted US military

10:58

facilities in Iraq and Syria over

11:00

160 times since October

11:03

. The US has in recent

11:05

months , carried out several strikes targeting

11:07

Iranian proxies weapons depots

11:09

in Iraq and Syria . To date

11:12

, none of those strikes have deterred the militants

11:14

. Secretary of State Antony Blinken

11:16

says tensions in the Middle East are

11:18

the highest they've been in over 50 years

11:21

.

11:22

We will respond to sites , to any

11:24

aggression , and

11:28

we will hold responsible the people who attacked

11:30

our troops . We'll do

11:32

so at a time and

11:34

a place of our choosing .

11:36

NATO Secretary General Yen .

11:38

At a time and place of our choosing . I'm

11:40

interested to see what they're going to do .

11:42

And Stoltenberg says Iran is repressive

11:45

at home and aggressive abroad

11:47

and is destabilizing the whole region

11:49

.

11:50

Tehran's behavior reminds us of

11:52

what a world without rules

11:55

look like Unpredictable

11:58

and dangerous .

12:00

Secretary of Defense , lloyd Austin , expressed outrage

12:03

and sorrow for those fallen and injured

12:05

in the line of duty .

12:07

President and I will not tolerate attack

12:09

on US forces and

12:11

we will take all necessary actions to

12:13

defend the US and our troops .

12:16

Allison McManus from the Center for American

12:18

Progress says the strikes on US

12:21

service members represent a fundamental

12:23

change in the rules of engagement

12:25

.

12:29

Well , that was the wrong video , but that's okay

12:31

, we'll get to that video in a minute . But

12:33

Joe Biden is in a lot of trouble . He's

12:36

in a lot of trouble when it comes to this

12:38

election . He is failing

12:40

on the economy , even though

12:42

he comes out and he has all these commercials saying

12:44

how great the economy is doing . It's nonsense

12:46

. It's nonsense

12:48

. Inflation is still through the roof . Your

12:51

interest rates are the highest they've been in

12:53

probably your lifetime . If

12:55

you want to buy a home , you're looking at 8%

12:57

interest , 70% . It's insanity

13:00

. That's insanity . And

13:03

he's pretending that everything is okay . And

13:07

it's not , and it

13:09

never is . I mean , we went through the same

13:11

thing under Barack Obama's administration

13:13

. The United States' credit

13:15

rating was downgraded for the first time in American

13:18

history under Barack

13:20

Obama , because

13:24

at a certain point you

13:26

just start running out of money and you

13:28

can't fund all of this crap that

13:30

you want to fund , that Democrats want

13:32

to fund .

13:35

John , do you expect the president would go to ?

13:37

Dover for the dignified transfer when

13:39

these Americans are returned to the United

13:41

.

13:41

States . I don't have anything

13:43

on his schedule to speak to .

13:46

John , do you expect- ?

13:48

So they're asking if the president is going

13:50

to be there when the fallen soldiers

13:52

come back . And they say , well

13:54

, I don't have any information

13:57

on his schedule

13:59

this week . Okay

14:03

, the last time he went

14:05

to the Marines , to

14:08

the fallen Marines after Afghanistan

14:11

, and he was at the funeral

14:13

and

14:15

he was just completely bored with

14:18

it . He did not want to be

14:20

involved and

14:22

he was caught I'm

14:25

going to pull this up here so we can see it

14:27

. But

14:32

he was caught checking his watch . He

14:35

was just not he didn't

14:37

want to be there . He's like I've got to get out of here . What

14:39

time can I get out of here ? And

14:43

here's the famous photo of that on

14:46

snopescom . Look at this snopes

14:49

Did Biden check watch multiple

14:51

times during transfer of fallen

14:53

soldiers , with a photo of him checking

14:55

his watch , and

14:58

they rated it as true . So you know if they're rating

15:00

it as true . That's crazy . He's

15:04

just not entertained . He doesn't care . His

15:06

decision killed these people and

15:10

he doesn't care . Now there's a question

15:12

of whether or not he's going to go to

15:17

the bodies being transferred back . I

15:19

mean it'd be nice if he went and did not check

15:22

his watch . That would be a great

15:24

thing . Here

15:26

is a Fox News report on

15:29

all of the attacks that

15:31

are coming from all of these proxies , and

15:34

let's listen to this .

15:36

And now he's live at the White House . Look at . What more can

15:38

you tell us ?

15:39

Well , arthel . This is the deadliest attack

15:41

on American forces in the Middle East since

15:43

the October 7th Hamas massacre

15:45

. As you mentioned , last night a drone

15:47

strike killed three US troops

15:50

and wounded 25 at a base in

15:52

Northeast Jordan near the border

15:54

with Syria . That's according to the White House , president

15:57

Biden releasing a statement moments ago which

15:59

says , quote while

16:01

we are still gathering the facts of the attack

16:03

, we know it was carried out by radical

16:05

Iran backed militant groups operating

16:07

in Syria and Iraq . Jill and

16:09

I joined the families and friends of our fallen

16:12

and Americans across the country in grieving

16:14

the loss of these warriors in this despicable

16:17

and wholly unjust attack . There

16:19

have been now over 159 attacks

16:21

on US forces in Iraq and Syria , and

16:23

now Jordan over the past three months .

16:26

I mean look at this attacks

16:28

on the US Embassy , the Baghdad

16:31

Diplomatic Support Center , air

16:34

bases , mission support , green Village

16:36

, gaza , israel

16:39

, lebanon 159

16:42

attacks on US forces since

16:45

October 17th . What

16:47

had Joe Biden done about it , besides hand

16:49

them $6 billion to Iran

16:51

, which was originally

16:54

frozen ? Then he unfrozen and gave it back . So

16:57

what did he do ? What are we doing

16:59

about this ? This is the first time anybody's been

17:01

killed , but multiple people have been injured in

17:03

these attacks .

17:05

The US has responded with air strikes in

17:08

Iraq and Syria , but the bulk had been in

17:10

Yemen . Since the beginning of the month

17:12

, there have been increasing calls , as you mentioned , Eric

17:14

, for the US to strike back much harder

17:16

. Us warships continue shooting down

17:18

drones and missiles from Iran's proxy forces

17:20

off the coast of Yemen . There have also been

17:22

calls for the US to strike the

17:24

source , and that's inside Iran

17:26

. The names of those fallen has not

17:28

been released . That subject to next

17:30

of kin notifications . Eric

17:33

and Arthel .

17:38

All right , Lucas Donlinson , thank you very much . Live at the

17:40

White House and right now joining us on the phone

17:42

is Chief National Security Correspondent

17:45

Jennifer Griffin . Jennifer

17:47

, any word from the Pentagon ?

17:50

Well , arthel , we have received a

17:53

notification from St Com , a statement

17:55

in which they confirmed the deaths

17:57

of those three US troops

18:00

, but I'm also hearing reports that up

18:02

to 25 Americans may

18:04

have been injured in that attack on the base

18:06

in northern Jordan . This is a very

18:09

significant escalation , as Lucas

18:11

reported . This is bound

18:14

to test not only the White House but also

18:16

US Central Command . We know that

18:18

there has been a great deal of frustration among

18:21

top senior US military

18:23

officials , thinking that the

18:26

US needed to strike back harder against

18:28

Iran , that Iran was not getting the deterrent

18:30

message .

18:31

As Lucas mentioned , there have been 159

18:33

attacks on almost daily

18:36

on Iran

18:39

is clearly not getting the message , because

18:41

it's escalating , because we're not doing anything

18:43

about it . We're not doing

18:46

anything about it . So here is Tucker

18:48

Carlson talking

18:51

about the incident and saying that we don't need

18:54

to go to war with Iran . Let's listen to

18:56

this .

18:58

Here's fellow neocon , lindsey Graham , just spelling it out

19:00

and calling for the bombing of Iran

19:02

.

19:03

So I've been on the phone all day to the Middle East

19:05

and I've told our allies and people with

19:07

connections to Iran what

19:09

I would do . I would tell Iran

19:12

that if Hesballah attacks Israel

19:14

, we're going to come after you

19:16

, the Iranians , and have a coordinated effort

19:18

between the United States and Israel to

19:21

put Iran out of the oil business

19:23

by destroying their refineries , their

19:25

four major refineries in Iran

19:27

, their fixed targets . If

19:29

Hesballah attacks Israel , I would make

19:32

Iran pay a heavy price .

19:34

What exactly would happen to the United States

19:36

if we declared war on Iran

19:38

and started blowing up their infrastructure ? Lindsey

19:41

Graham has no clue what would happen . He

19:43

hasn't thought it through . He's almost 70

19:45

years old and he has no children . He doesn't

19:47

care , but neither , amazingly

19:50

, do most of his colleagues in Washington . They're

19:52

as reckless as he is . Texas

19:54

Congressman Dan Crenshaw took to social media

19:56

to call for what he described as a war

19:58

, to end all wars , as

20:00

if there is such a thing . But

20:03

of course there isn't such a thing . Wars

20:05

beget more war . The bigger

20:07

the conflict , the uglier and longer lasting

20:09

the consequences . The World War

20:11

I for details .

20:14

I disagree , tucker , I

20:16

disagree . I think a ton

20:19

of conservatives are

20:21

very concerned to back

20:23

a war with Iran because

20:26

of the mistake they made by backing

20:28

the war on Iraq . This is totally

20:30

different . Iraq was not bombing us or

20:33

behind . They're

20:35

nowhere near what Iran was doing . Iran under

20:37

Bush , his advisors

20:40

, the advisors were telling him no

20:42

, iran is the problem . We need to go

20:44

after Iran . Iran is the big problem and

20:47

we would have had a totally different outcome

20:50

of the war . But Iran is actually

20:52

funding terrorists . Iran is actually

20:55

blowing

20:57

up the US troops

20:59

and killing them through their proxies

21:01

. So you're

21:04

going to see a lot of calls from the left

21:06

or from the right

21:08

saying that we don't want war with Iran

21:10

, don't go to war with Iran . It's nonsense . It's

21:14

nonsense . I don't agree

21:16

with that position . I

21:22

think that it would be okay to bomb Iran

21:24

. That's me , though . I don't

21:26

make these decisions . The American people

21:29

do , but I would have no problem , no

21:31

qualms , with bombing

21:33

and killing the people that killed

21:35

these people . I

21:39

would have zero issue with that . So

21:42

now we're seeing a split in the American

21:45

, in the Republican Party , the neocons

21:47

, versus whatever the heck they want to call

21:49

them , or the Trumpers , and they're just warmongers

21:52

and we're not and listen . They

21:55

are attacking the United States personnel

21:57

. They are killing United States personnel

22:00

. There's nothing

22:02

wrong with killing the people

22:04

who were killing United States

22:06

personnel .

22:09

The United States has vowed to respond

22:11

after Iranian-backed militias killed

22:13

three US soldiers and injured around

22:15

40 more in Jordan , which many fear

22:17

could put the entire Middle East at the precipice

22:20

of regional war .

22:21

This is an incredibly

22:24

volatile time in

22:26

the Middle East . I would

22:28

argue that we've not seen a

22:31

situation as dangerous

22:33

as the one we're facing now across the region

22:35

since at least 1973

22:37

.

22:39

What Blinken ? What are you talking

22:41

about ? We just had two major

22:43

wars that lasted for decades

22:45

in the Middle

22:47

East .

22:50

What ? But it's an election

22:52

year in the United States . The public

22:55

is weary of decades of Middle Eastern

22:57

wars , and a fight with Iran could

22:59

send oil prices sky high

23:01

, something that could pose a significant threat

23:03

to President Joe Biden's reelection . But

23:06

failing to act could also signal

23:08

weakness and gut the administration

23:10

both electorally and America's image

23:12

abroad .

23:14

We will respond decisively to

23:16

any aggression and

23:18

we will hold responsible the people who attacked

23:20

our troops . We'll do

23:22

so at a time and

23:25

a place of our choosing .

23:27

Respond forcefully to deter Iran , but not

23:29

so forcefully that it mires America

23:31

in another Middle East war , a

23:33

message the United States has sent to its

23:35

adversaries directly .

23:37

We are not looking for a war with Iran .

23:39

We are not seeking a conflict with

23:42

the regime in a military way

23:44

and , as I said in

23:47

the opening , we're not looking to escalate

23:49

here , but is that a message

23:51

that also signals weakness and

23:53

tells Iran the US isn't willing to

23:55

fight at all , meaning other options

23:57

must be on the table ?

24:00

The US is not willing to fight at all . It's

24:05

not . You're never going to get the popularity . In

24:07

order to get America

24:10

to go to war , the population needs to be furious

24:13

furious at whatever

24:15

the enemy is . 9-11

24:17

, george Bush's approval

24:19

rating was higher than FDR's

24:21

after Pearl Harbor . The

24:23

situations like that is what you

24:27

do , what you need to go to war . We

24:29

haven't had that situation . This situation

24:31

is horrible , and I'm not saying that you weigh human

24:33

life , but to your normal American

24:36

person . They don't want to send

24:38

our young people to die for no reason

24:40

, which is what happened in Iraq . So

24:46

nobody wants that . The

24:50

whole view of the situation is thwarted . This

24:52

is a totally different situation . The

24:55

United States has every right to

24:58

attack Iran . They

25:00

don't have to drop troops on the ground . We could

25:02

win this battle through fricking drones from a

25:05

ship , and none of our people get hurt . What's

25:08

Iran going to do about it ? Nothing

25:10

.

25:13

One option is to strike , but without claiming

25:16

responsibility , leaving deniability

25:18

on the table and giving Iran an out

25:20

to a full confrontation with the US

25:22

, and another to strike

25:24

Iran's proxies rather than Iran

25:27

itself , making it hard for Iran

25:29

to justify an escalation .

25:31

Full points of administration for wanting to avoid

25:33

a regional war . But we're

25:35

doing classic mirror imaging here

25:37

where we think our adversaries think like

25:39

we do . They do not when they

25:41

hear proportionality , reasonable , moderate

25:44

. We don't want a regional war that sounds so

25:46

good in Davos , but our

25:48

adversaries hear that as

25:50

weakness and a green light for aggression

25:52

. Many Exactly

25:55

.

25:56

You've got to understand that these extremist

25:59

Islamists , which is Iran

26:01

, iran's government ? They're extremist Islamists

26:03

. They fund Jihad through Hamas

26:06

, hezbollah , houthi rebels , you

26:08

name it . They fund it a lot of times with US

26:10

taxpayer money . So

26:13

your taxpayer money is going to

26:15

fight Israel and your taxpayer

26:17

money to Israel is going to fight the

26:20

Houthi rebels and stuff that are getting all the

26:22

supplement of income from us . Our

26:24

taxpayer money is causing this conflict

26:27

. So our tax money versus our tax money . It's disgraceful

26:29

. But these

26:31

people do not understand reason , they do

26:33

not understand logic . They are devout

26:36

Islamists

26:39

who believe in the highest level

26:41

of Islam , which is Jihad

26:43

, and that Islam

26:45

should be the only religion in the world and if you're

26:47

not Islamic you should die . That you're an infidel

26:49

. That's

26:53

what they believe and

26:56

you can't talk to people like that . They

26:59

only understand overwhelming

27:01

force . That's

27:03

how you get them to back down . But Joe Biden's not doing

27:05

that . We're firing a couple of missiles

27:07

at a couple of empty tents and warehouses

27:10

and a couple of camels in the desert

27:12

. To say oh yeah , we're retaliating , but

27:14

you're really not Retaliating

27:18

would be bombing the hell out of Iran

27:20

and killing their entire leadership . That

27:23

would be like , oh , oh God , assassinating

27:27

one of the leaders . Kill them

27:29

. I mean , we do have the CIA and Israel

27:33

has the Mossad , and they've assassinated

27:36

people before . Maybe

27:38

kill the guy who's funding the terrorist organizations

27:41

and send a message we're not going to tolerate

27:43

this .

27:45

US Republican senators are now urging

27:47

direct strikes against Iran , a

27:50

message the regime will not be able to ignore

27:52

. But given the potential costs

27:54

, is that even on the table

27:56

?

28:03

Nonsense . Let's

28:06

watch this video . The parents

28:09

of one of the the

28:13

fallen soldiers , specialist

28:15

Kennedy Sanders , went

28:18

on Fox News and they talked about their daughter

28:21

. Let's watch this Before

28:23

we continue . Make sure you hit that like share and

28:25

28:29

all sorry for your loss .

28:31

Can you tell us what these last few hours have been

28:33

like for you , O'Nita ?

28:36

Well , I think

28:39

I'm still in a state of shock and

28:41

disbelief . I think the reality

28:44

probably won't set in until

28:46

we actually travel to go receive

28:48

her remains . That's

28:50

the time that I'm really not looking

28:52

forward to . I'm dreading it actually , but

28:55

right now I'm still just in a state of disbelief

28:57

.

28:58

That's so understandable . And , sean , we see you holding

29:01

a picture of your baby girl , and

29:04

now we know her face . We know that

29:06

she loved this country and wanted

29:08

to serve our country . She's one of the best

29:10

among us , so tell us more about

29:12

her , tell us about your daughter .

29:16

She was the life of the party . Men would

29:18

say she

29:20

enjoyed life . She

29:22

was very competitive , she

29:25

was goal-oriented and

29:28

she loved the service . She loved

29:30

serving our country and

29:33

you know I just miss her right now . This morning has been

29:35

tough on me .

29:37

Absolutely .

29:42

Very sad A situation that

29:44

we never should have allowed

29:47

to happen in the United States

29:49

. Donald Trump has come out and said

29:51

that this would have never happened

29:53

if he were president . We

29:55

don't know that for sure and he's

29:58

also running for president

30:01

, so we don't really know

30:03

. But thank
