President Trump earlier this morning announced in that White House Chief of Staff, Suzy Wiles, has been diagnosed with the early stages of breast cancer. President Trump said that Suzy Wiles will immediately begin treatment and will be working full time at the White House. Quote, Suzy Wiles is an incredible Chief of Staff, a great person to one of the strongest people I know. But unfortunately, she has been diagnosed with the early stages of breast cancer and has

1:00decided to take on this challenge immediately as opposed to waiting. She has a fantastic medical team and her prognostic is excellent during the treatment period. She will be spending virtually full time at the White House, which makes me very happy as President, very happy, her strength and commitment to continue to do her job. She loves and she does so well while undergoing treatment tells you everything you need to know about her. President Trump writing in that true social post in November of 2024, President Trump named Suzy Wiles as the Chief of Staff. She served as President Trump's 2024 campaign manager and she's also the first woman to serve as Chief of Staff in the White House. The Democrats continue to keep on holding the DHS hostage and reinforcing the need to end the filibuster. It's officially been a month since the Democrats forced the DHS to indefinitely shut down, which began on Valentine's Day following a firestorm or left-wing media attacks targeting the agency over the conduct of several ICE agents carrying out a deportation raid.

2:01Mass deportations, which was the central pillar of President Trump's campaign promises, was among the top issues of which President Trump ran on in 2024 following the greatest border invasion in American history. Although the legacy media outfits may have you thinking it's quite the opposite, the legacy of mass deportations remains wildly popular, and the commands bipartisan support realizing that the policy has mass public support, the Democrats pivoted their approach to exploiting some bad optics surrounding the shooting of Alex Freddie and have used it as a weapon to hold the Republicans in Congress and the Trump administration for ransom to their demands. These demands serve effectively as a rash policies, body camera requirements, de-escalation training programs, you know, it's almost like the back-and-the-de-i days of de-i training, requirements for judicial warrants, that would all but neuter the immigrations and custom enforcement from practically being able to implement their mandate for their part Republicans quite rightly have said, uh, acquiescence to Democrat demands would be suicidal both politically

3:09and for the country. I mean, think about it, folks. This is the Democratic Party holding our national security hostage. President Trump over the weekend delivering a blunt message to NATO partners, step up and help secure the vital straight of our music against Iran, or face serious consequences for future of the alliance. During an interview, President Trump warned that NATO's future could be in jeopardy if the European allies refused to support the U.S.-led mission aimed at reopening the critical oil shipping route, which Iran has effectively threatened to close, amid the escalation in the Middle East conflict. President Trump says if there's no response, it's a negative response, and I think it'll be very bad for the future of NATO. While the President's warning comes, the United States pushes for a multinational coalition to patrol and secure the straight of our moves from the radical Islamists, uh, Iranian regime. Can be recalled on Saturday, President Trump asked several countries heavily, uh, dependent on the Middle East energy, including European powers and Asian allies, to send warship,

4:11minesweepers, or air defense assets, to protect commercial shipping from the Iranian IRGC, the threat of these radical, like I said, radical Islamists, um, who don't care about hurting civilians. This is what they do. And in a stunning turn of event, it appears Iran's new supreme leader, who's chosen by Iran's establishment, following the death of the I-8, Ayatollah Kamini, is likely gay, according to a report by the New York Post, along with, um, impotency problem and the ability to find a wife through concerns about his leadership capabilities from the elder Kamini before his assassination. Posts reporting that US spy agencies believe Kamini had a long-term sexual relationship with his childhood tutor, according to a tip from one of the most protected sources that the Iranian government has. Trump has said to laughed out loud, one brief by officials, others in the room, surrounded by President Trump, found it, quote, hilarious, according to the Post's source, and one senior intelligence officials laughing for days.
