| 0:05.6 | We're quickly approaching the endgame of President Trump's plan that he put into effect |
| 0:11.6 | almost immediately when he came into office. We've been applying a maximum pressure campaign |
| 0:18.2 | on Iran's oil exports to cut off the sources of the regime's funding. |
| 0:24.6 | The Iranian leadership has been hurting the people. |
| 0:27.6 | They have been spreading the money around the globe for proxy wars. |

| 1:26.4 | But first, I want to tell you about our friends over Patriot |
| 1:28.6 | Mobile. Every so often, something happens that reminds us just how fragile our freedoms are. We can't |
