Added: 2026-05-15

[00:00:00]Oh, thank you. I just want to start off with saying that these military operations against Iran have been spectacular.

[00:00:07]In a matter of months, we have degraded the largest state sponsor of terrorism beyond what I thought was possible. Probably more to come. Um Mr. Secretary, 900 lb of 60% enriched uranium, do we all agree that's what Iran has buried somewhere?

[00:00:31]In this format, some of that should be classified, so I wouldn't comment on the exact amount of anything.

[00:00:36]>> Okay. Well, that's just pretty well known. They brag about it.

[00:00:40]Is it possible they could have 60% highly enriched uranium without them cheating in the past?

[00:00:47]Uh we know in every context of what Iran has undertaken, they've lied and cheated.

[00:00:52]>> The answer is no. Everything that Obama and Biden did was designed to keep it to civilian nuclear program. There is no way in hell they can have 60% highly enriched uranium unless they cheat. So, everything y'all did failed.

[00:01:07]And you want to criticize? You failed.

[00:01:10]You allowed Iran to be a threshold nuclear nation. Everything you did failed. Uh missiles to Diego Garcia. Did they shoot missiles at Diego Garcia, General Keane, the Iranians?

[00:01:24]Uh yes, sir. They shot a few. Under the protocols we had in place where they're supposed to be able to do that?

[00:01:32]Uh without reviewing the fine print, I believe the answer's no.

[00:01:36]>> No, they weren't. You failed there. You failed to stop Iran from being a nuclear threshold nation. You failed to stop Iran from having missiles that could go thousands of miles. Why should we listen to you?

[00:01:52]Uh bottom line here, China, uh [clears throat] does China buy 90% of Iranian oil, Mr. Secretary?

[00:02:03]>> [clears throat] >> China buys a very large percentage of Iranian >> is pretty large.

[00:02:08]Uh So, does China buy are they largest purchaser of Russian oil and gas?

[00:02:16]I would imagine they're up there. They are. They're the largest. So, President Trump, when you go to China realize that the person you're talking to is propping up Russia and Iran.

[00:02:29]I appreciate what you've done in Iran. I appreciate what you're trying to do to end the Russian-Ukraine conflict. Do you agree with me, Mr. Secretary, that of all the countries on the planet, China could have the most influence of ending this war if they chose to?

[00:02:44]I think the most influence is in President Trump's hands and what he decides to do and he'll set the terms of >> if China stopped buying >> China has a lot of leverage here, right?

[00:02:53]Yeah, they do. What if they stopped buying 90% of oil from Iran?

[00:02:57]That's not President Trump. That's up to China.

[00:03:00]Do you support putting tariffs on China if they continue to buy Russian oil and gas?

[00:03:06]Uh tariffs is not my lane, but anything you can do to put pressure on people I usually support.

[00:03:10]>> uh do you believe that when we put pressure on India by 25% tariff for buying Russian oil, they kind of backed off?

[00:03:18]I would say I've had a front row seat to the efficacy of tariff policy, yes.

[00:03:21]Yeah, I think it works, guys, and we're on the break break out here in a minute of having a bill that would give the president ability to tariff the largest purchasers of Russian oil and gas and I hope he will use it. So, I just want to Pakistan.

[00:03:36]Uh are you aware of reports that Pakistan are are allowing their bases to be used to park Iranian aircraft? Uh General Keane.

[00:03:48]Sir, I've I've I've seen one report on that. Well, is it accurate? Um sir, I think based on the variety of classifi- classification matters I would say >> me just say, do you agree if it is accurate that is sort of inconsistent with it being a peace mediator?

[00:04:06]Sir, I wouldn't want to comment on that based on the ongoing negotiations and Pakistan's [clears throat] role.

[00:04:11]>> Secretary HASC, if if the mediator is allowing reconnaissance aircraft Iran to be parked in Pakistani air bases, do you think that's consistent with being a fair mediator?

[00:04:25]Um I again, I wouldn't want to get in the middle of these negotiations. I want maximum transparency.

[00:04:29]>> I want to get in the middle of these negotiations. I don't trust Pakistan as far as I can throw them. If they actually do have Iranian aircraft parked in Pakistan bases to protect Iranian military assets, that tells me we should be looking maybe for somebody else to mediate.

[00:04:49]No wonder this damn thing is going nowhere.

[00:04:52]So, you know, I appreciate all you've done. I'm very supportive of it, but when it comes to Pakistan and China, enough already.

[00:05:05]>> [music]
