We're going to cut off the funding streams to Iran. We can't continue to have a hundred hostages, including Israelis and Americans, held captive by Hamas and Hezbollah, who are essentially mercenaries of Iran. America needs to recognize the importance of our alliance with Israel, ensure the safe return of all Israeli hostages, and reaffirm our unwavering support for Israel as our top ally.

We will stop the flow of funds to Iran. We won't have a hundred hostages, including Israelis and Americans, held by Hamas and Hezbollah, who are essentially Iranian mercenaries. America needs to recognize the importance of Israel, secure the release of Israeli hostages, and reaffirm our support for Israel as our top ally.

Hamas's recent actions remind us of their evil nature; they can't be allowed to have arms or control territory. My priority as Secretary of State is to realign everything with our national interest, making sure every action and dollar spent serves that purpose. We're restructuring bureaus to prevent migration and trafficking, addressing mass migration challenges globally. We paused foreign aid to review and ensure alignment with our interests, issuing waivers for critical programs like fentanyl interception training. We're also repurposing climate programs to prioritize energy independence. I'm focused on realigning American foreign policy, engaging with global leaders, and addressing issues like terrorist organizations and the war in Ukraine. We aim to test Russia's seriousness about ending the war, consulting with allies throughout.

We need to revitalize the Palestinian Authority by providing support for good governance. This includes addressing issues, such as transparency and accountability, in Gaza and the West Bank. We also need to consider a security plan for the region, both in the short and long term. Lastly, there is a commitment to rebuilding Gaza.

Hamas's recent actions remind us of the evil we face. They cannot be allowed to re-arm, terrorize, or govern. My priority as Secretary of State is realigning our foreign policy with America's national interest, ensuring every action serves to strengthen our nation. We're restructuring bureaus to better address issues like migration and trafficking. We've paused foreign aid to review its alignment with our interests, issuing waivers for critical programs. We're also scrutinizing climate programs to prioritize energy independence for developing nations. Regarding Russia, communication is crucial, regardless of disagreements, to explore ending the Ukraine war. President Trump is willing to pursue peace, and Zelenskyy should be a partner, not an obstacle.

I'm exposing some initiatives USAID has funded and asking a yes or no question: Do these expenditures of American taxpayer dollars put America First? USAID awarded $2,000,000 to strengthen trans-led organizations for gender-affirming health care in Guatemala. Does paying for this advance American interests? USAID awarded over $750,000 to alleviate loneliness among migrant garment workers in India. Does this advance America's interest? USAID awarded $1,500,000 for a gender-sensitive response to migration at the Venezuelan border. Does this advance American interests? Other expenditures include; $4,300,000 for health services for men who have sex with men in South Africa, $1,500,000 to advance diversity, equity, and inclusion in Serbia, $70,000 for a live musical event promoting US and Irish shared values, $1,500,000 to upscale LGBT rights advocacy in Jamaica, $28,000,000 to facilitate the economic insertion of Venezuelan migrants in Peru and Ecuador, $17,500,000 for voluntary medical male circumcision overseas, and nearly $150,000 for HIV prevention targeting men who have sex with men and transgender people. Our foreign assistance system is broken, and this ends now.

We have the technology to detect fentanyl entering the US through ports of entry. Our priority is American citizens held hostage. We are working on a ceasefire and humanitarian aid for Gaza. Hamas is blocking aid. Two main issues are at play.

Secretary Rubio discussed Hamas, stating they are evil and cannot be allowed to control territory. Regarding Gaza, he said the President has a plan to remove people for reconstruction, challenging regional partners to propose better solutions. Rubio aims to realign the State Department with U.S. national interests, pausing foreign aid to review alignment, issuing waivers for programs like fentanyl precursor training in Guatemala. He mentioned restructuring bureaus and consolidating those related to human trafficking and migration. Rubio addressed the USAID shutdown, citing a lack of cooperation and misalignment with the State Department's goals. He refuted claims he isn't in charge, detailing his involvement in foreign policy, including trips to the Western Hemisphere and the Middle East. He designated aid cartels and criminal organizations as foreign terrorist organizations. Rubio confirmed renewed contact with Russia to explore ending the Ukraine war, denying specific negotiations about territorial details. He criticized Zelenskyy's ungratefulness and discussed a potential Trump-Putin meeting contingent on progress in Ukraine. Rubio affirmed the U.S. commitment to preventing a nuclear Iran and addressed China, advocating for reciprocity in trade and expressing concerns about COVID-19's origins. He reiterated the U.S. stance against forced changes to Taiwan's status and acknowledged the risk of terrorist groups finding safe havens in Afghanistan. He pledged support for State Department personnel affected by Havana Syndrome and expressed openness to independent journalists.

We must have conversations with Israel to protect innocent lives in Gaza and provide humanitarian aid to Palestinians. President Biden aims for a two-state solution for peace in the Middle East.

The first submission is to destroy Hamas, because if you want peace, security, and a better life for Palestinians in Gaza, Hamas must be destroyed. Getting rid of the poisonous regime is a precursor to stopping the training of people to believe that murdering and having joy at the death of civilians is a good thing. Cultural change and deradicalization has already occurred in the Gulf States and is happening in Saudi Arabia. Israel, with a substantial Arab minority, has also seen this, with Arabs integrated into society, serving in high places. After the destruction of Hamas, Gaza must be demilitarized and deradicalized, focusing on mosques and schools, followed by rebuilding Gaza, hopefully with the help of Arab friends.

We will stop the financial support to Iran and ensure the release of hostages held by Hamas and Hezbollah. It's crucial for America to prioritize Israel, bring home Israeli citizens, and reaffirm our commitment to our key ally, Israel.

The world is facing an extraordinary crisis, with turmoil and violence in the Middle East and Eastern Europe, and rising tensions in the Indo-Pacific. Strong leadership is needed now. Our greatest ally in the Middle East, Israel, is under attack. The first bill I will bring to the floor will support our friend Israel. We're overdue in getting this done. We must show Israel, and the entire world, that the barbarism of Hamas is wretched and wrong. We will stand for the good in this conflict.

The discussion centers on the fragile peace deal and the ongoing conflict with Hamas, with emphasis on Hamas’ true nature, disarmament, hostage issues, humanitarian aid, and regional dynamics including Lebanon and Iran. - Hamas remains a terrorist organization. The interlocutor states that Hamas has not changed its stripe and is using the ceasefire to reassert control in Gaza through mass executions of those opposed or suspected of working with Israel, while attempting to rebuild its strength. The plan, in partnership with Netanyahu, is to disarm Hamas, dismantle its terror infrastructure, and build Gaza into something different, a top priority under the Trump plan. - The peace deal is a work in progress. Neither Israel, the United States, nor other actors expect Hamas to act in good faith. The discussion emphasizes that if Hamas does not disarm, it will be eradicated, a statement framed as a serious US commitment reflecting the nature of the war and regional determination to end Hamas as a threat. - The 20-stage plan and pathway forward. The plan provides a pathway to end Hamas as a regime and terror army in Gaza and to prevent Gaza from threatening Israel going forward. The goal is to disarm Hamas, dismantle its infrastructure, and transform Gaza into a stable, peaceful entity, though it remains a “work in progress.” - Hostages and displaced persons. A central issue is the status of hostages: Hamas holds 13 of the 28 people Hamas allegedly murdered and held, with 18 returned so far, and 25 originally cited in discussions (the transcript mentions 28 total murdered and 18 returned, with 13 still in Hamas control). The speaker argues that Hamas knows the whereabouts of several more hostages and should deliver them; the claim is that some hostages who were said to be unlocated could be found even if debris removal is slow. The Red Cross and humanitarian organizations say recovering bodies will be a massive, decades-long challenge, but the speakers argue that locating hostages does not require full debris removal. Aid and humanitarian access are discussed, including a suspension of aid after the killing of Israeli soldiers that was brief and then reinstated; aid trucks are allowed through to humanitarian zones controlled by Israel in Gaza, with concerns about Hamas siphoning aid for its own purposes. - Aid leakage and Hamas control of aid. The speakers contend that Hamas stole or redirected up to 95% of aid in Gaza prior to the ceasefire, using it to fund its war against Israel. They argue that UN agencies operating in Gaza are often under Hamas influence, whether willingly or unwillingly, and thus aid distribution has been compromised when Hamas governs. - Hamas’ current behavior in Gaza and security concerns. Hamas is described as reasserting control by mass executions and intimidation; there is concern about how much control they exert over the areas they govern and the potential for continued war if they disarm remains unactioned. The discussion stresses that the longer Hamas can control areas, the more they can pursue their war. - Trump–Kushner–Witkoff diplomatic leverage. The discussion credits President Trump’s diplomacy with changing Hamas’s calculus. The Qatar strike that nearly targeted Hamas negotiators is acknowledged as a turning point; Kushner and Witkoff claimed that Hamas wanted peace when engaged directly in Egypt, and that the strike on Qatar frightened Hamas into reconsidering its position. The interlocutor suggests that palace diplomacy, allied pressure in the Arab and Islamic world, and the military pressure on Gaza City converged to push Hamas toward releasing hostages and engaging with the peace process. - Israel’s regional strategy and deterrence. The speaker emphasizes that Israel must be able to defend itself and maintain power in the region. The Abraham Accords are cited as a success, with normalization continuing because partners recognize Israel’s stability and the advantages of cooperation. The Palestinian statehood question is reframed as a broader test of Palestinian willingness to accept Israel’s existence; the speaker notes parliamentary support in Israel opposing a Palestinian state and argues that Palestinian society must change its stance toward recognizing a Jewish state. - Lebanon and Hezbollah. Optimism is tempered by caution. In Lebanon, there is some movement toward demilitarization, with the Lebanese army involved and Hezbollah’s power being re-evaluated. The speaker stresses that even if conflict ends, Israel will remain vigilant and prepared to prevent a rebuilt Hezbollah threat along the border, citing past upheavals and the need to protect border towns like Kiryat Shmona. - Iran and the wider threat. Iran’s missile program and its nuclear ambitions are described as two cancers threatening Israel: missiles capable of delivering heavy payloads and a nuclear program. The strategic aim is to prevent Iran from creating a “ring of fire” around Israel (Syria, Lebanon, Gaza, Yemen, Iraq) and to prevent metastasis of Iran’s influence from spreading. - Global sentiment and demonization. The speaker acknowledges growing global antisemitism and demonization of Israel post-October 7, but argues that Israel’s demonstrated ability to defend itself strengthens its position and that support should endure as the conflict recedes from prominence. The Palestinian leadership’s stance and the broader regional dynamics remain central to whether a two-state solution can emerge, with a tempered expectation that the peace plan will proceed step by step.

When I return to the White House, the US will fully support Israel without apology. Hamas is blamed for all lives lost in the conflict. Joe Biden's weak actions led to attacks on Israel. America's enemies will face consequences for harming citizens. Strength, not weakness, is needed to deter evil. Wars must be finished for peace to prevail. Building democracies in unstable regions is futile.

Hamas is a resistance organization with a legal right to resist occupation, similar to the French resistance in World War II. The violence in Palestine may constitute genocide, with real-time imagery on social media showing bombings of civilian infrastructure. US policy of backing Israeli actions is creating global resentment, particularly in the Arab and Muslim world, which will negatively impact American foreign policy and national security for a generation. Current US leadership is poor, facing crises at home and abroad. Blinken and Sullivan are considered incompetent. Personal feelings and historical ties to Zionism from figures like Blinken and Biden are inappropriately influencing US foreign policy. The speaker recommends viewing non-US news sources on platforms like X to witness the devastation. A ceasefire is the optimum solution to prevent further escalation.

The speaker credits the president for assembling a great team and for decisive action, contrasting it with past administrations' slow processes. Foreign policy is now centered on benefiting America, prioritizing actions that make the country stronger, safer, and richer. The State Department eliminated funding for "crazy stuff" like puppet shows, reorganized to empower embassies, and shut down an office that censored Americans' social media posts, planning to return dossiers to those monitored. The U.S. is seeking cooperation from other countries to take back their citizens who are in the U.S. illegally and is actively searching for third countries to accept "despicable human beings" to keep America safe. Student visas are being revoked for individuals who come to the U.S. to cause disruption.

Hamas's actions remind us of their true nature—evil and not fit to govern. Their destruction is in everyone's best interest, including Palestinians. The President's plan for Gaza involves removing people for reconstruction, but if others have better plans, they should present them. In my first 30 days as Secretary of State, I've focused on realigning the State Department with America's national interest. This means defining our interests and ensuring every action supports them. We're restructuring bureaus to better address issues like migration and human trafficking. We've paused foreign aid to review its alignment with our interests, issuing waivers for programs like fentanyl precursor training in Guatemala.

Hamas's actions remind us of their evil nature, and they can't be allowed to have arms or control territory. The President's plan for Gaza involves removing people for reconstruction, but regional partners need to propose better plans. The key challenge is determining who will govern Gaza post-Hamas. In my first 30 days as Secretary of State, I've focused on realigning the State Department with American national interests, defining those interests, and ensuring our actions support them. We're restructuring bureaus to prevent migration and trafficking, and reviewing foreign aid to ensure it serves our national interests. We're also identifying programs for repurposing, like climate programs, to prioritize energy independence.

Hamas's release of Israeli hostages' bodies reminds us of their evil nature. They cannot be allowed to have arms or control territory. The goal is to eliminate Hamas for the benefit of everyone, including Palestinians. President's plan involves removing people for reconstruction, but regional partners need a better plan. The State Department needs realignment with the national interest. An "America First" approach defines our interests and aligns actions accordingly. We're restructuring bureaus to prevent migration and trafficking, for example. Foreign aid is under review, with waivers for programs aligned with our interests, like fentanyl prevention. We're identifying programs and personnel for repurposing, with the help of DOGE. USAID needs better cooperation and alignment with the State Department's mission. We're addressing uneven trade imbalances and prioritizing reciprocity in economics and trade.

We're going to cut off the funding streams to Iran. This action aims to resolve the hostage situation involving Israelis, Americans, and others held by Hamas and Hezbollah, who are essentially mercenaries of Iran. It's time for America to recognize the importance of Israel, secure the release of the Israeli hostages, and reaffirm our commitment to standing by Israel, our most important ally.

We've learned that USAID has been used to push globalist propaganda and potentially fund terrorism, even resulting in American deaths, which could lead to criminal referrals. The agency may need to be abolished. We aim to expose the millions of dollars going to radical organizations, some with ties to terrorists. There are questions about why mechanisms to prevent foreign aid from reaching terrorist groups aren't working, especially when we see terrorist weaponry linked to these funds. For years, USAID has been a slush fund for left-wing propaganda. We need to ensure American tax dollars benefit American citizens and interests, not wasted on things like DEI musicals abroad. This may be the world's largest money laundering scheme in history. We're committed to creating transparency across the government, thanks to President Trump and Elon Musk, who will help expose every corner of government. That is what the American people want.

We are facing an extraordinary crisis, and the world needs us to be strong. Turmoil and violence are happening in the Middle East and Eastern Europe, and tensions are rising in the Indo-Pacific. Our nation needs strong leadership, and we must stand firm. Our greatest ally in the Middle East is under attack. The first bill I will bring to the floor will support our friend Israel. It's time to get this done and show Israel and the world that the barbarism of Hamas is wretched and wrong. We will stand for the good in this conflict.

Hamas are evil people, and the idea of them controlling territory is unfathomable. Our hearts break for the families of the deceased, and the return of remains is a sacred thing. Hamas is weaker than before but still a threat and cannot be allowed to reconstitute. As long as Hamas is in Gaza, there will be no peace, and they must be eliminated. No country can coexist with a group whose purpose is destruction and atrocities. The President has a plan for Gaza's reconstruction, which involves removing people from the area to allow construction, but regional partners disagree. If they don't like the President's plan, they should propose a better one. The fundamental challenge is determining who will govern Gaza and how to eliminate Hamas.

Hamas's actions remind us of their evil nature, and they can't be allowed to continue to have arms. The plan is to rebuild Gaza, but that can't happen with Hamas there. Our partners need a better plan for Gaza's reconstruction. The State Department needs to align with the national interest; it's not an "America only" approach. We're restructuring bureaus to prevent migration and trafficking. Foreign aid is under review, with waivers issued for programs aligned with our interests, like fentanyl interdiction. We're also re-evaluating climate programs, prioritizing energy independence. We want cooperation from USAID. Regarding Russia, maintaining communication is crucial, and we need to determine whether they are serious about ending the war in Ukraine. We need to be able to communicate with people. It is crucial to meet people where they're getting their news and information, and not only be available through the mainstream media.
