1 00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:08,680 Speaker 1: I'm Josh Hammer, and this is the Josh Hammer Show. 2 00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:13,039 Speaker 1: The joint US Israel military operation against the Islamic Republic 3 00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:16,200 Speaker 1: of Raw now enters its second week. Things are going 4 00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:19,759 Speaker 1: staggeringly well from an operator sandpoint, but when will victory 5 00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:23,439 Speaker 1: actually be determined? And more important, how will victory be determined? 6 00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:25,799 Speaker 1: Heather Johnson joined us Lader on the show to impact that, 7 00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:28,720 Speaker 1: But for now we begin with this. It's not just 8 00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:32,400 Speaker 1: radical Islamic jihad that we are fighting overseas. Radical Islamic 9 00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:37,040 Speaker 1: jihad is now here at home. How many instances do 10 00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:40,960 Speaker 1: we need to throw our hands into the air and 11 00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:45,720 Speaker 1: to say that enough is enough. There have now been 12 00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:51,360 Speaker 1: at least four instances of lone wolf radical Islamic jiha's 13 00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:55,480 Speaker 1: attacks here on American soil since the commencements of Operation 14 00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:58,920 Speaker 1: Epic Fury in Iran two weeks ago. Within hours of 15 00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:01,440 Speaker 1: the commencement of that operation and the assassination of the 16 00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:04,720 Speaker 1: thirty seven year running tyrant there Ali Kmmine, within hours, 17 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:09,160 Speaker 1: you had a senegal man who was tragically national as 18 00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:12,160 Speaker 1: a citizen, who decided to wear a Property of Allah 19 00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:15,080 Speaker 1: shirt and rush over to a bar on Sixth Street 20 00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:17,120 Speaker 1: in Austin, Texas and mowed down a bunch of people 21 00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:19,440 Speaker 1: last weekend in New York City on the Upper East 22 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:22,839 Speaker 1: Side outside Gracie Mansion. In New York City, you had 23 00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:26,840 Speaker 1: conservative protesters who had the audacity the temerity to say 24 00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:28,759 Speaker 1: that we don't want to be woken up at five 25 00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:31,520 Speaker 1: am because of the Islamic called to prayer. That's not 26 00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:34,119 Speaker 1: what we signed up for. Pretty reasonable thing to say, 27 00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:36,440 Speaker 1: I might say in New York City, of all places, 28 00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:39,120 Speaker 1: a city that less than twenty five years ago was 29 00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:41,959 Speaker 1: struck with the worst Islamic terrorist attack in the modern 30 00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:44,360 Speaker 1: history of Western civilization. In ad events, you had a 31 00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:48,040 Speaker 1: couple of teenagers last Saturday in New York City, radicalized 32 00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:51,320 Speaker 1: ISIS inspired teenagers who had traveled to Turkey in Saudi 33 00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:53,520 Speaker 1: Arabia and decided to try to detonate what is known 34 00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:57,120 Speaker 1: in the bomb making counter terror community as the so 35 00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:00,920 Speaker 1: called Mother of Satan Ied bomb. Thankful no one was killed. 36 00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:02,800 Speaker 1: The mayor of New York City, for what it's worth, 37 00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,400 Speaker 1: Zora Mamdani, as you might have heard, could not bring himself, 38 00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:07,600 Speaker 1: not even merely to not condemn what had happened there. 39 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,600 Speaker 1: He couldn't even acknowledge what happened he decides to blame 40 00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:12,440 Speaker 1: this on the riff raft that was happening in the 41 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:16,760 Speaker 1: conservative protesters there. That was two weeks and one week ago. Unfortunately, 42 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:20,920 Speaker 1: on Thursday, March twelfth, radical Islamic terrorism struck again in 43 00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:24,560 Speaker 1: both Michigan and in Virginia. The situation in Michigan is 44 00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:29,520 Speaker 1: tragic simply because of how utterly predictable it's been for 45 00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:32,360 Speaker 1: years now. I'm thinking for a long time that dearborn 46 00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:35,240 Speaker 1: Michigan is just going to pop off at some point. Now, 47 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:37,440 Speaker 1: what happened on Thursday could have been so, so, so 48 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:39,200 Speaker 1: much worse. We get to that in just a second there, 49 00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:41,880 Speaker 1: But you have to understand that dearborn Michigan, which is 50 00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 1: a prominent suburb of Detroit. It's home to the Ford 51 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 1: Motor Company, has been home to Ford for just about 52 00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:49,760 Speaker 1: a century or frankly more. It is now at this 53 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:53,040 Speaker 1: point essentially one giant Hesbola sleeper cell. It is home 54 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:56,160 Speaker 1: to a lot of Lebanese Muslims, a lot of Chiai Muslims, 55 00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,600 Speaker 1: a lot of folks who have their loyalty to Hesbola 56 00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,040 Speaker 1: and or to the Iranian Rags which is itself the 57 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:03,680 Speaker 1: head of Sheiites. Islam for the most part in the 58 00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:06,840 Speaker 1: world today. This was a ticking time bomb. Quite literally, 59 00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:09,679 Speaker 1: the kissed me ready to go off, and unfortunately it 60 00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:11,799 Speaker 1: attempted to go off again. It could have been so 61 00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,400 Speaker 1: much where they attended to go off on Thursday March twelfth, 62 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:18,200 Speaker 1: So a mamba name of Iman Mohammed Ghazali, forty one 63 00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:21,040 Speaker 1: years old. He actually entered the United States on a 64 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:24,480 Speaker 1: legal visa in May twenty eleven. The Obomba Instration gave 65 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:28,240 Speaker 1: him a legal visa. He actually then obtained citizenship in 66 00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:30,520 Speaker 1: the final year of the Bomb presidency in twenty sixteen 67 00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,400 Speaker 1: because he was the husband of a US citizen, so 68 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:36,720 Speaker 1: we naturalized guys to citizen And it turns out that 69 00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,320 Speaker 1: he decided that because he had a couple of brothers 70 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:43,080 Speaker 1: who were apparently killed over Lebanon by Israeli airstrikes in 71 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,520 Speaker 1: the somewhat not so distant past, he decided that he 72 00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:48,360 Speaker 1: was going to load up his van with a bunch 73 00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:50,920 Speaker 1: of explosives and try to just kill a bunch of 74 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,880 Speaker 1: Jewish preschool children. Yes, that is literally what this guy 75 00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:55,800 Speaker 1: decided to do. And there are some folks in the 76 00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:57,920 Speaker 1: media who have been saying that he was trying to 77 00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 1: settle scores, settle scorers with the jew In fact, even 78 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:04,080 Speaker 1: Grandma Giper herself, Megan Kelly, had an utterly abominable, putrid 79 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:07,960 Speaker 1: retweet essentially trying to take away the moral capability of 80 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 1: this lone hasn't trying to place it on the Jewish 81 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 1: community at lars disgusting, discussing loathsome stuff. The story has 82 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:18,280 Speaker 1: a happy ending because there is only one fatality as 83 00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:20,600 Speaker 1: a result of this horrific incident, and that one fatality 84 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:24,240 Speaker 1: is the now dead terrorist himself. There was actually an 85 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:28,240 Speaker 1: FBI armed shooter training session at this very synagogue just 86 00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:29,880 Speaker 1: about a month and a half two months ago, back 87 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:32,160 Speaker 1: in January, and they had a security guard who was 88 00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:34,840 Speaker 1: very well eclipped, a heroic security guard who leaped into 89 00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:38,960 Speaker 1: action immediately minimized or really just ended the loss of life. 90 00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:40,960 Speaker 1: He was injured. He's going to be okay, you sir, 91 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:45,200 Speaker 1: are a hero. The rabbi from this synagogue went on 92 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:48,800 Speaker 1: CNN to talk about this horrific notion being peddled again 93 00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:53,320 Speaker 1: by many many utter moral credence that this jihadis does 94 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:56,000 Speaker 1: not have the sole and exclusive moral colbility on his hands. 95 00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:57,440 Speaker 1: Let's go ahead and watch his clip from Sena. 96 00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:01,960 Speaker 2: Any relationship that any news oranization or anyone is talking 97 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:05,040 Speaker 2: about in terms of his, uh, his family's loss of life, 98 00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:07,640 Speaker 2: which is a tragedy in and of itself. Any connection 99 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,440 Speaker 2: to an attack on an American synagogue in the suburbs 100 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:14,440 Speaker 2: of Metro Detroit is intensely anti Semitic and inappropriate. And 101 00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:17,559 Speaker 2: uh and that's something that that we've all been dealing 102 00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,320 Speaker 2: with too, that, you know, using that as an excuse 103 00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:22,760 Speaker 2: for why somebody might have come after a group of 104 00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:25,920 Speaker 2: American Jews in Detroit. That's anti Semitism, that it's at 105 00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:29,159 Speaker 2: its at its peak. And uh. And we're hoping that 106 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:30,920 Speaker 2: that is not the story that people are telling. And 107 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:34,360 Speaker 2: instead the story is that American Jews shouldn't have to 108 00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:36,560 Speaker 2: live this way and fear to send their children to preschool. 109 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 1: So the thrust For comments are obviously entirely correct. The 110 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 1: notion that because the State of Israel is taking defensive 111 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:47,920 Speaker 1: actions against terrorist groups and therefore Jewish preschool children in 112 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:51,680 Speaker 1: Michigan should be targeted is is essentially out of durch Sturmer. 113 00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:55,080 Speaker 1: I mean, I mean that is so disgusting Nazi s 114 00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:57,680 Speaker 1: garbage as to make it even difficult to know how 115 00:05:57,720 --> 00:05:59,880 Speaker 1: to respond frankly, such garbage. The rabbi, I think did 116 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,280 Speaker 1: a parly fine job there. The one thing that she 117 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:05,200 Speaker 1: said that I do have to quibble with is that 118 00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:08,799 Speaker 1: she said that this guy's family, the loss of life 119 00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:12,479 Speaker 1: was tragic back in Lebanon, Well was it tragic? Turns 120 00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:14,280 Speaker 1: out that this guy comes from a Hesbala family. I 121 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:17,400 Speaker 1: mentioned that Deerborn is essentially one giant Hesbala cell. Well, 122 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:20,239 Speaker 1: his family. He had two brothers that apparently were killed 123 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:22,719 Speaker 1: by Israeli airstrikes. You know why they were killed because 124 00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:26,440 Speaker 1: they were Hezbalah, Because they were literally card carrying members 125 00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:32,039 Speaker 1: of the ironic regime's number one Shia supremacist Jihattis proxy. 126 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:35,920 Speaker 1: Unbelievable stuff. As Omri ser En, who is a staffer 127 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,479 Speaker 1: for Ted Cruz in all rounds smart guy when comes 128 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:40,719 Speaker 1: to national security affairs. As Omri ser En put it 129 00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:44,239 Speaker 1: on X early on Friday morning, quote, the two brothers 130 00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:47,440 Speaker 1: were Hesbala terrists. The story should be that the US 131 00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:50,159 Speaker 1: allowed a foreigner from a Hesbala family to enter the 132 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:53,320 Speaker 1: country and eventually be naturalized, and he launched a terrorist 133 00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:56,679 Speaker 1: attack against the Synegogue. Yes, thank you. That's the actual 134 00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:59,480 Speaker 1: story here. The real story is that Dearborn, Michigan has 135 00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:01,680 Speaker 1: been a ticking time bomb waiting to go off for 136 00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:06,200 Speaker 1: a very very long time. This past September into October, 137 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:10,480 Speaker 1: there was a small protest in Dearborn because, among other things, 138 00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:15,240 Speaker 1: they were planning to rename a street sign. They were 139 00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:18,280 Speaker 1: literally going to rename a street and the sign the 140 00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:20,800 Speaker 1: street was named after a pretty anon dyne thing Maple 141 00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:23,680 Speaker 1: streets whatever, making something up there, but it had a 142 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:25,760 Speaker 1: very basic street name. They were going to take this 143 00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:29,200 Speaker 1: street name and rename it after a Hesbo, after a 144 00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:32,560 Speaker 1: Hezbola guy. And at the town hall meeting, and the 145 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:35,640 Speaker 1: mayor of Dearborn is a Lebanese Shia Muslims prize prize. 146 00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:39,760 Speaker 1: So at this town council meeting there a Christian minister 147 00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:44,720 Speaker 1: from Dearborn goes up back last September and says that 148 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:47,360 Speaker 1: he objects to this, that he objects the renaming of 149 00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:51,480 Speaker 1: the streets lign after a Hezbolah jihadi. And the mayor, 150 00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:56,000 Speaker 1: Abdullah Hamoud Lambistad is his name, said that you are 151 00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,560 Speaker 1: a racist, you are in islamaphobe, and you are not 152 00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:01,800 Speaker 1: welcome here. He said, you're are no islamopho because you 153 00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 1: object to renaming a street sign over a Hesbala terrorist. 154 00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:08,680 Speaker 1: This is the community that produced this naturalized system that 155 00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:11,160 Speaker 1: decided to go decided to try to go blow up 156 00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:18,000 Speaker 1: a lot of Jewish preschool children. Disgusting, absolutely appalling stuff. 157 00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:20,920 Speaker 1: And if that wasn't bad enough, that wasn't even the 158 00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:25,640 Speaker 1: only radical Islamic Jiha's attack that happened on Thursday, March twelfth. 159 00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:30,280 Speaker 1: A totally separate and arguably even more easily preventable and 160 00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:33,840 Speaker 1: foreseeable incidents happened deep in the heart of the Commonwealth 161 00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:37,280 Speaker 1: of Virginia, happening at Old Dominion University. There So, there 162 00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:40,520 Speaker 1: was an active shooter situation that happened at Oldman University 163 00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:45,400 Speaker 1: in Virginia. One individual was tragically killed. He was actually 164 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:50,440 Speaker 1: a RATZI instructor. So if you know anything about RATZI, 165 00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:53,600 Speaker 1: it is referred to as the Reserve Officers Training Corps. 166 00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:58,000 Speaker 1: This man's name was Brandon Shah, taken from us far far, 167 00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:00,280 Speaker 1: far too soon. May his memory be an out the 168 00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:03,840 Speaker 1: blessing there So, this individual decides to try shooting up 169 00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:07,840 Speaker 1: a classroom or more at Old Dominion University and in 170 00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:10,520 Speaker 1: the broader Norfolk Virginia area, and again Brendan Shaw, a 171 00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:13,880 Speaker 1: ROZI instructor, ends up tracted being killed. He is quickly subdued. 172 00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:16,120 Speaker 1: Here's the good prother story. He is quickly quickly subdued 173 00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:20,720 Speaker 1: by the ROZI students themselves actually, which is just an 174 00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:24,680 Speaker 1: amazing story. There, so heroic, heroic stuff from the RAZI 175 00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:27,840 Speaker 1: students who stepped in to subdued, ultimately kill this suspect 176 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:32,360 Speaker 1: there at Oldman University campus there in Norfolk, Virginia. As 177 00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:34,680 Speaker 1: far as who this individual was, this is where it 178 00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:37,079 Speaker 1: starts to get I mean, folks, I saw us. I 179 00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:39,760 Speaker 1: want to punch a freaking wall. And this is how maddening, 180 00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:43,360 Speaker 1: how frustrating this is. So the individual who committed this 181 00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:47,559 Speaker 1: atrocity at ODU in North Norfolk, Virginia is a man 182 00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:51,520 Speaker 1: by the name of Mohammed ja Laal. Guess who he is. 183 00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:58,200 Speaker 1: He was previously convicted, not just indicted, convicted in US 184 00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:04,640 Speaker 1: federal courts of providing material support to isis. Isis the 185 00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:08,080 Speaker 1: same radical jazz organization that the two lone Wolves outside 186 00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:12,040 Speaker 1: Gracie Mansion tried to detonate the ied Just last weekend. 187 00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:16,960 Speaker 1: This guy was convicted of providing material support to Isis. 188 00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:20,360 Speaker 1: Apparently he was naturalizedism too. They're saying that once upon 189 00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:22,920 Speaker 1: a time he actually was an Army National Guard officer. 190 00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:27,319 Speaker 1: To make matters even worse, if you actually go back 191 00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:31,360 Speaker 1: and look at his criminal sentencing, he was sentenced and 192 00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:34,920 Speaker 1: convicted for this. He was convicted of material sport isis 193 00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:36,960 Speaker 1: back in the U. S. District Court for the Eastern 194 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:40,440 Speaker 1: District of Virginia is in the core room of Judge 195 00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:43,199 Speaker 1: Liam O'Grady in the sensing hearing goes back to February 196 00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:46,120 Speaker 1: of twenty seventeen. Per federal court records, you can actually 197 00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:49,439 Speaker 1: go back and look at this, he had a two 198 00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:53,280 Speaker 1: hundred and forty month sentencing guidelines range. So not to 199 00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:55,240 Speaker 1: get too in the weeds there. When it comes to 200 00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:58,680 Speaker 1: federal criminal law, there is what's known as the US 201 00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:02,520 Speaker 1: Ensing Guidelines, which are cent guidelines to recommend to judges 202 00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:05,559 Speaker 1: what to sentence. Although the sentencing is ultimately largely no 203 00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:08,160 Speaker 1: entireably largely in the in the discretion of the judge. 204 00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:11,360 Speaker 1: So for this particular crime material support to a foreign 205 00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:14,640 Speaker 1: terisormization like ISIS, the Sensing Guidelines provide a two hundred 206 00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:18,440 Speaker 1: and forty month recommendation guess what the judge sends him 207 00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:21,960 Speaker 1: to roughly half that one hundred and thirty two months. 208 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:25,160 Speaker 1: This probably wouldn't have happened if the judge had just 209 00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:31,960 Speaker 1: sentenced to the maximum. Unbelievable stuff unbelievable. And now this judge, 210 00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:35,600 Speaker 1: it seems indirectly, has some blood on his hands when 211 00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:37,600 Speaker 1: it comes to the death of Brandon Shaw. This wroth 212 00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:41,360 Speaker 1: each other who has been gunned down by this isis fanatic. Meanwhile, 213 00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:43,040 Speaker 1: cash Bertelity at the GI director saying this is being 214 00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:45,840 Speaker 1: investigated as an act of terrorism, which it obviously is. 215 00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:48,840 Speaker 1: So is the incident in Michigan. All around us, folks, 216 00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:53,800 Speaker 1: Radical Islamic jihad, this subversive fifth column, immigrants, naturalized citizens, 217 00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:57,000 Speaker 1: it's all around us. It is destroying this country and 218 00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:58,719 Speaker 1: unless th until we wake up, it's going to be 219 00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:01,679 Speaker 1: a problem for decade and decades and decas com I 220 00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:03,400 Speaker 1: am sorry to tell you, but I call I see it, 221 00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:05,520 Speaker 1: and that is frankly what it is. Folks, Stay with 222 00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:07,160 Speaker 1: us a short mucier break. We'll be right back with 223 00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:15,760 Speaker 1: more on the other side. Welcome back. Funny enough, I 224 00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:18,800 Speaker 1: actually wrote an article, and I wrote this article Wednesday night. 225 00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:22,920 Speaker 1: I finished it Thursday morning, and within hours my finishing 226 00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:26,200 Speaker 1: this article, I learned about what happened at Oldman University 227 00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:28,000 Speaker 1: and in Michigan. There My article frankly could not have 228 00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:29,920 Speaker 1: been timely enough. So I wrote this new article for 229 00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:32,920 Speaker 1: front Page Magazine front Page mag dot com. It's the 230 00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:35,200 Speaker 1: online journal for the David Horrace Freme Center, where I 231 00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:37,640 Speaker 1: am proud now to be a Shulman Fellow. And the 232 00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:41,360 Speaker 1: article that I wrote, which again eerily eerily timely, we 233 00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:44,920 Speaker 1: the people never voted for mass Islamic immigration. I referred 234 00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:48,319 Speaker 1: to this in my article as societal transformation without representation. 235 00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:50,640 Speaker 1: Go back and think about the fact that in seventeen 236 00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:54,720 Speaker 1: seventy six, the revolutionaries here in this great country, these 237 00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:57,679 Speaker 1: United States, fought a war, among other things, because the 238 00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:01,839 Speaker 1: British Crown and parliaments were taxing the colonists without representation. 239 00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:04,280 Speaker 1: You can go to the nation's capital today and a 240 00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:06,720 Speaker 1: lot of the liberals in DC have on their license 241 00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:10,160 Speaker 1: plates no taxation without representation. Well, what we have now 242 00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:12,520 Speaker 1: seen when it comes to islam immigration in America is 243 00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:17,040 Speaker 1: something quite a bit more more dastardly and sordid than 244 00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:20,920 Speaker 1: that which is societal transformation without representation. We have some 245 00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:24,240 Speaker 1: numbers on this, folks. So back in ninety sixty five 246 00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:26,800 Speaker 1: there was the Immigration Nationality Act, which is a Ted 247 00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:31,000 Speaker 1: Kenney statues called the heart Sellers Acts. Sometimes it remains 248 00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:34,880 Speaker 1: to this day the number one statue that governs federal immigration. 249 00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,920 Speaker 1: We continue to bring in roughly one million legal immigrants 250 00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:40,640 Speaker 1: a year, give or take all, due to heart Sellers, 251 00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:43,600 Speaker 1: this law that goes back now sixty plus years. There 252 00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:46,680 Speaker 1: been some attempts to bring the number down. There was 253 00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:49,280 Speaker 1: the Raise Acts that was bandied about during the first 254 00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:52,079 Speaker 1: administration or fortunately it didn't go very far. So by 255 00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:55,200 Speaker 1: the time that heart Sellers passed nineteen sixty five, there 256 00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:58,319 Speaker 1: were an estimated one hundred to one hundred thy thousand 257 00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:01,240 Speaker 1: Muslims living in the United States At the time of 258 00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:04,240 Speaker 1: the twenty twenty United States Religion Census, which is a 259 00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:07,199 Speaker 1: different census than the normal census, but also happens every 260 00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:09,559 Speaker 1: ten years, So in twenty twenty, there were four point 261 00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:12,280 Speaker 1: five million Muslims in the US. So from nineteen senty 262 00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:14,880 Speaker 1: five to twenty twenty, that number increased by a lot 263 00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:17,439 Speaker 1: from about one hundred thousand or take to four and 264 00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:20,920 Speaker 1: a half million on current trajectories. By the year twenty fifty, 265 00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:26,360 Speaker 1: that numbers estimated to nearly double to eight point one million. Now, 266 00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:29,440 Speaker 1: as far as who these individuals are, well, there was 267 00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:32,640 Speaker 1: a Pew Research study as a little data admittedly goes 268 00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:34,800 Speaker 1: back to to twenty seventeen. So back in twenty seventeen, 269 00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:40,000 Speaker 1: roughly fifty eight percent of American Muslims were first generation Americans, 270 00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:43,480 Speaker 1: mean that they were born initially in another country. There, 271 00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:46,400 Speaker 1: so really here about a lot of immigrants, but unfortunately 272 00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:50,200 Speaker 1: also a lot of naturalized citizens, a lot of naturalized citizens. 273 00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:52,800 Speaker 1: Here we look at these these horrific terrorist attacks over 274 00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:55,000 Speaker 1: the past two weeks. You have the senegal man in Austin. 275 00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:58,240 Speaker 1: You've got the two Isis inspired teenagers outside Gracie Mansion, 276 00:14:58,280 --> 00:14:59,920 Speaker 1: New York City. You've got Old Dominion. Now you've got 277 00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:04,600 Speaker 1: Michigan standing out there. These are naturalized citizens. Terrible, absolutely 278 00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:08,200 Speaker 1: terrible stuff. Who are we giving citizenship between this country? 279 00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:11,640 Speaker 1: What are we doing here? What in the world are 280 00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:15,560 Speaker 1: we doing? Shouldn't we be vetting a little more carefully 281 00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:20,800 Speaker 1: before we just dole out citizenship? It makes you just 282 00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:23,680 Speaker 1: want to pull your hair out. And this is not 283 00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:26,520 Speaker 1: even getting in by the way, to Somali fraud, a 284 00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:29,160 Speaker 1: topic that we've been covering on the show for months now. 285 00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:31,880 Speaker 1: I'm thinking about some of the metrics when it comes 286 00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:36,640 Speaker 1: to Somali fraud. In the state of Minnesota, the Somali 287 00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:39,280 Speaker 1: community has a fifty four percent rate of being on 288 00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:42,200 Speaker 1: food stamps and a seventy three percent rate of being 289 00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:46,400 Speaker 1: on Medicaid. These people are are addicted to the federal 290 00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:50,160 Speaker 1: welfare state teat. When they're not builking the teat, when 291 00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:52,640 Speaker 1: they're not trying to defraud the taxpayer, they're just sucking 292 00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:55,880 Speaker 1: up all of it. You have lots of folks who 293 00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:58,880 Speaker 1: are radicalizing stupid white liberals on American univers of canvases 294 00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:01,760 Speaker 1: by flying the flags of you was recognized foreign terrorist organizations. 295 00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:04,840 Speaker 1: I think back to the to the post October seventh 296 00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:08,280 Speaker 1: year on college campus is you had Princeton University and them 297 00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:10,480 Speaker 1: when university in the country according to the rankings, which 298 00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:13,080 Speaker 1: had a hes Ball flag unfurled on the campus lawn. 299 00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:15,840 Speaker 1: So you have to know these Muslims that are coming 300 00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:18,800 Speaker 1: from these horrific countries and the radicalizing stupid white and 301 00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:21,960 Speaker 1: impressiable progressive liberals here in the United States. It's just 302 00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:27,440 Speaker 1: awful stuff. Meanwhile, after Kameni's assassination two weeks ago. Now 303 00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:33,120 Speaker 1: there is mosque outside DC, I believes in Virginia which 304 00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:35,640 Speaker 1: Luke Rosiat of The Daily Wires shine a very bright 305 00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:39,480 Speaker 1: spotlight on. Showing that spotlight quite quite nicely. They were 306 00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:42,840 Speaker 1: holding a vigil what they referred to as the Shaheed, 307 00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:50,200 Speaker 1: the martyr Ali Kammee. What, folks, the dirty little secret 308 00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:54,240 Speaker 1: is that new immigration policy and shutting off immigration from 309 00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:56,760 Speaker 1: all Muslim majority countries, which we absolutely believe for on 310 00:16:56,800 --> 00:17:00,240 Speaker 1: the show, should be a huge priority item for the 311 00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:03,040 Speaker 1: Congress and the President. Frankly, the Congress and actually do this, 312 00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:04,840 Speaker 1: you know laterally under section eleven and eight to two 313 00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:08,600 Speaker 1: Subsection F of the Heartsellers Act. But I digress. That's 314 00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:12,400 Speaker 1: for another day. Shutting off immigration from these countries will 315 00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:16,000 Speaker 1: only go so far. You have, as horrible as it 316 00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:17,280 Speaker 1: is to hear, as much as you don't want to 317 00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:20,680 Speaker 1: hear it, I don't want to hear it. A massive radicalized, 318 00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:25,399 Speaker 1: subversive fifth column American Muslim population here in the United States. 319 00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:29,080 Speaker 1: That's just the reality now. Each and every one of 320 00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:33,760 Speaker 1: these individuals who demonstrably, verifiably has ties or has loyalty 321 00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:38,040 Speaker 1: to foreign terrorist organizations who are not as sis and 322 00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:40,679 Speaker 1: yet so someone like Mahmun Khalil comes to minds, you know, 323 00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:43,960 Speaker 1: aka Zoramdani's ef Tar dining buddy there in greasing mansion. 324 00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:47,159 Speaker 1: They should be deported immediately, post tastes, no questions to 325 00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:49,640 Speaker 1: ask period, end of story. We're gonna have to get 326 00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:52,399 Speaker 1: our hands a little dirtier than that too. There is 327 00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:55,200 Speaker 1: such thing as denaturalization is codified in the US Code 328 00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:59,080 Speaker 1: at eight US Code Section fourteen fifty one Revocation of naturalization. 329 00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:03,919 Speaker 1: If someone has has been wrongly erroneously naturalized as a citizen, 330 00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:08,080 Speaker 1: but that person has demonstrable loyalties to a foreign terrorist organization, 331 00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:12,400 Speaker 1: they should be denaturalized. Heck, I mentioned this musque outside 332 00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:14,760 Speaker 1: d C. They having a vigil for the Shahed, the 333 00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:20,240 Speaker 1: Martyr Ali Komene. Every single person who is there who 334 00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:24,679 Speaker 1: is worshiping the Shaheed Ali Komene, and that person is 335 00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:29,440 Speaker 1: a naturalized citizen. Uh, that's pretty fair game to at 336 00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:34,040 Speaker 1: least commence an investigation when it comes to denaturalization. If 337 00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:37,160 Speaker 1: we don't, if we'd only denaturalize this this now dead 338 00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:41,119 Speaker 1: scumbag in Virginia, the guy who was previously convicted of 339 00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:44,360 Speaker 1: material support isis if you only, if you only denaturalized him, 340 00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:47,000 Speaker 1: we wouldn't have a dead Brandon Shaw, the Rocky instructor, 341 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:49,400 Speaker 1: would we. So two, we wouldn't have a dead Brandon Shaw. 342 00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:52,520 Speaker 1: If the judge, who I believe is actually a George W. 343 00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:56,200 Speaker 1: Butsch judge. Another issue, the judge that had actually sentenced 344 00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:58,440 Speaker 1: him accordingly to the actual sensing guidelines, we wouldn't have 345 00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:01,560 Speaker 1: a dead Brandon Shaw either. So just a lot of Ah, 346 00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:03,080 Speaker 1: I hate to be so negative going into a weekend. 347 00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:04,760 Speaker 1: There just a lot that makes you just want to 348 00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:08,520 Speaker 1: tear your freaking hair out. I want to talk also, 349 00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:12,840 Speaker 1: just for a moment here, to my fellow Jews as well. 350 00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:17,160 Speaker 1: This Lais attack on a synagogue is unfortunately highly unsurprising. 351 00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:21,560 Speaker 1: As I mentioned, dearborn, Michigan is a hotbed of hesbala, 352 00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:25,240 Speaker 1: a hotbed of Shid extremism. This was so eminently foreseeable. 353 00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:27,880 Speaker 1: I have had this thought when it comes to the Michigan, 354 00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:30,680 Speaker 1: the Detroit, Michigan Jewish community for a very very long time. 355 00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:33,000 Speaker 1: They really should be on such high alert with such 356 00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:38,200 Speaker 1: a highly radicalized Pomatic population so near to their folks. 357 00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:41,359 Speaker 1: I've been saying with it from the top of my lungs, 358 00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:45,679 Speaker 1: screaming it for years that Jews in this country must 359 00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:49,959 Speaker 1: arm themselves. You should have learned this lesson after the 360 00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:53,879 Speaker 1: Tree of Life shooting in Pittsburgh in twenty eighteen, after 361 00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:56,880 Speaker 1: the shooting at the Hbbad of Poway in San Diego 362 00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:00,440 Speaker 1: in twenty nineteen where the rabbi lost a finger taking 363 00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:04,280 Speaker 1: down this Jihannis. There was a mashety attack that same year, 364 00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:07,320 Speaker 1: in twenty nineteen Atahonica party in Munsey, a very Orthodox 365 00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:10,919 Speaker 1: community in New York State. How many times do you 366 00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:14,800 Speaker 1: have to learn this? You have now an attack in Michigan. 367 00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:18,639 Speaker 1: You have Tucker Carlson going off on unhinged rants against Rabab, 368 00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:23,120 Speaker 1: the most peaceful, loving, full of Simha, full of happiness 369 00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:27,000 Speaker 1: organization in the entire Jewish world. You have Kennae Selwyns 370 00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:31,000 Speaker 1: saying that Israel wants to kill children, American children. Next, 371 00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:35,320 Speaker 1: you have all this demonic stuff happening all across the spectrum, 372 00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:38,680 Speaker 1: from Mamdani and Medi Hassan and Chenkwiger on the Jew 373 00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:41,120 Speaker 1: heading left, to these scumbags and the Jew heading rights. 374 00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:47,760 Speaker 1: People are afraid, People are on edge and understandably sub 375 00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:51,359 Speaker 1: adotably all around here, in South Florida, in the Jewish 376 00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:54,560 Speaker 1: community where I live, there's police cops. There's cops everywhere. 377 00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:58,480 Speaker 1: Everyone is on edge. But you can. You should take 378 00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:02,400 Speaker 1: matters into your own hands much upon you absolutely ought 379 00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:06,399 Speaker 1: to take advantage folks of the Second Amendment. You should 380 00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:09,159 Speaker 1: buy firearms, and you should train with firearms, and not 381 00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:13,080 Speaker 1: just one. I suggest multiple. I carry every single day 382 00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:16,000 Speaker 1: of my life a firearm, a backup mag, and a 383 00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:19,000 Speaker 1: knife as well for good measure. You should have additional 384 00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:23,280 Speaker 1: guns as well. I have an amazing rifle, a rifle 385 00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:25,960 Speaker 1: that has two thirty two round mags, one to fifty 386 00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:28,520 Speaker 1: round mag with iron sights, a red dot site, a strap, 387 00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:30,640 Speaker 1: you name it, for a grip. I've got it all 388 00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:34,000 Speaker 1: loaded up. You should take those weapons. You should get them, 389 00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:37,000 Speaker 1: and you should train with them. Jewish history should compel 390 00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:40,840 Speaker 1: you that you really have no more responsible option than that. 391 00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:44,760 Speaker 1: Jewish history should mean, if nothing else, that we are 392 00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:47,959 Speaker 1: a vulnerable population consistently targeted, and that you should take 393 00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:51,360 Speaker 1: a van and try to defend yourself. I think sometimes 394 00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:55,320 Speaker 1: about the opening line of Psalms Chapter one forty four. 395 00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:56,600 Speaker 1: We call it to Hillam. That will be a book 396 00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:58,760 Speaker 1: of Psalms in Hebrew Chapter one forty four, which begins 397 00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:03,399 Speaker 1: of David Blessed is the Lord, my rock, who trains 398 00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:07,560 Speaker 1: my hands for battle, my fingers for war. Jews are 399 00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:11,399 Speaker 1: a peace seeking, peace loving people. This is This is 400 00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:16,160 Speaker 1: Shabbat on Friday. Shabbat Shalom. Shalom means peace. But prepare 401 00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:19,840 Speaker 1: always for war just in case it comes. Folks, stay 402 00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:21,360 Speaker 1: with something, use have a short rush of break. Heather 403 00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:23,320 Speaker 1: Johnson join us to unpack all this much more. Stay 404 00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:30,680 Speaker 1: with us with Heather Johnston on the other side. Welcome back, 405 00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:32,919 Speaker 1: So join us down to unpack all of these issues 406 00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:35,399 Speaker 1: that we've been discussing, as well as much more. Is 407 00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:38,720 Speaker 1: today's guest. Today's guest is Heather Johnson. Heather is the 408 00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:42,280 Speaker 1: founder and executive director of the US Israel Education Association. 409 00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:46,399 Speaker 1: You can follow her on x at Heather Jay Underscore Israel. 410 00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:48,720 Speaker 1: Heather joined us from the great state of Alabama. Heather, 411 00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:51,320 Speaker 1: we really appreciate you joining the Josh Hammer Show. I've 412 00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:53,560 Speaker 1: seen some of your reason commentary, Heather, and I wanted 413 00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:56,600 Speaker 1: to kind of tea to our conversation with this, which 414 00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:59,280 Speaker 1: is a lot of folks can't quite put in their 415 00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:02,280 Speaker 1: minds the between what is happening halfway around the world 416 00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:05,840 Speaker 1: when it comes to this joint US Israel military operation 417 00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:08,080 Speaker 1: against the Irani regime in the one hand, with what 418 00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:11,520 Speaker 1: have now been four high profile Islamic terrorist tacks here 419 00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:13,720 Speaker 1: on the home front. On the other hands, there is 420 00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:15,679 Speaker 1: a clear nexus. I think it's a little hard for 421 00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:17,639 Speaker 1: some people to see. Can you try to elaborate on 422 00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:19,879 Speaker 1: that and try to draw that connection at least as 423 00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:20,600 Speaker 1: you perhaps see it. 424 00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:23,679 Speaker 3: Yes, well, Josh, thank you for having me in the 425 00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:25,879 Speaker 3: great work that you're doing to bring all of this 426 00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:28,840 Speaker 3: to light. It's never been more important. And I think 427 00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:31,400 Speaker 3: that you have hit the nail on the head in 428 00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:34,239 Speaker 3: saying that what happens in the Middle East does not 429 00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:37,560 Speaker 3: stay in the Middle East. That we see a radical 430 00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:42,959 Speaker 3: cleric Islamist regime with Iran at the helm of that 431 00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:48,520 Speaker 3: and the IRGC or the Iranian Revolutionary Guard core. And 432 00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:52,640 Speaker 3: what we understand very very clearly is that we are 433 00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:57,080 Speaker 3: dealing with a proxy situation that is supported by Iran, 434 00:23:57,160 --> 00:24:01,760 Speaker 3: that is literally all over the world. Radical Islam has 435 00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:07,199 Speaker 3: terrast cells in South America, North America, Asia, literally on 436 00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:14,119 Speaker 3: every single continent. They have a mandate, a theme and 437 00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:17,560 Speaker 3: understanding that the Jews are not to remain alive, that 438 00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:19,879 Speaker 3: they're not to exist on the face of the earth today. 439 00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:23,240 Speaker 3: And then the second is to take down Western civilization. 440 00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:27,160 Speaker 3: And so we see a chronic problem. Of course, as 441 00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:30,320 Speaker 3: we're attacking to Ron today, as we are at the 442 00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:35,240 Speaker 3: choke point of global oil supply, you can imagine the 443 00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:38,720 Speaker 3: fury of this regime that it does not want to 444 00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:43,720 Speaker 3: go down eight hundred and fifty thousand in number, It 445 00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:46,919 Speaker 3: is not willing to go down anytime soon. It is 446 00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:51,199 Speaker 3: going to hold out to the last second. Yes, they 447 00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:54,439 Speaker 3: are genocidal, but they're not that genocidal. They want to 448 00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:57,479 Speaker 3: stay in power. They want their proxies in the United 449 00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:01,639 Speaker 3: States to bring down our economy, to exhaust us, to 450 00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:07,720 Speaker 3: disrupt global supply, and to frankly terrorize the United States 451 00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:09,360 Speaker 3: of America. That's what we see. 452 00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:12,199 Speaker 1: Heather Johnson is the founder and executive director of the 453 00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:15,280 Speaker 1: US Israel Education Association. You could follow them on x 454 00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:18,520 Speaker 1: at USI Education. He there one thing that we've been 455 00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:21,119 Speaker 1: wrestling with here on the show for the past couple weeks. Actually, 456 00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:23,240 Speaker 1: the topic of my column that just came out earlier 457 00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:27,760 Speaker 1: today is what does victory in this operation actually look like? 458 00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:32,520 Speaker 1: And perhaps a correlards that is, do you think that 459 00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:35,440 Speaker 1: there are the same definitions of victory for the United 460 00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:39,280 Speaker 1: States Industrael? Or are there slightly different nuanced definitions of 461 00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:41,320 Speaker 1: victory for these two countries when it comes to this 462 00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:42,640 Speaker 1: current operation against Iran. 463 00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:46,760 Speaker 3: Well, I would say they are nuanced and slightly different 464 00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:49,640 Speaker 3: from each other. I think Israel, of course, is facing 465 00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:53,600 Speaker 3: this existential threat. A tiny nation the size of New Jersey, 466 00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:58,640 Speaker 3: located next to Iran, not too far away, with proxies 467 00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:02,400 Speaker 3: all across the borders, that is, on three sides of 468 00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:06,879 Speaker 3: their state. They live with Iran's proxies. So they have 469 00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:12,880 Speaker 3: it as an immediate and existential problem that they could 470 00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:17,520 Speaker 3: be annihilated by this regime that would get into their 471 00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:21,120 Speaker 3: hands a nuclear bomb, which they have threatened time and again, 472 00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:23,719 Speaker 3: and they have the enriched uranium to go do that, 473 00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:27,639 Speaker 3: actually eleven bombs, which they bragged about to Steve whitkop 474 00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:32,600 Speaker 3: Coff our Middle East envoid. Israel sees it this way. 475 00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:35,439 Speaker 3: That's why you've got a ninety three percent support in 476 00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:38,399 Speaker 3: the State of Israel, even though they are clamoring and 477 00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:40,880 Speaker 3: running into bomb shelters three or four times a day. 478 00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:44,200 Speaker 3: Every Israeli wants to see the demise of this regime. 479 00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:47,760 Speaker 3: I think to bring down the regime is a mutual 480 00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:52,879 Speaker 3: goal because when you've got such a power broker in 481 00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:57,920 Speaker 3: the region as Iran has been, and because they perform 482 00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:02,639 Speaker 3: constantly such an a symmetric war. That is, we're going 483 00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:06,160 Speaker 3: to bomb the oil refineries in Saudi Arabia and Bahrain. 484 00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:09,760 Speaker 3: We're going to take down, you know, desalination plants, and 485 00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:13,040 Speaker 3: we're going to attack everything sad ways, because we don't 486 00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:16,320 Speaker 3: know how to go to war conventionally, We're going to bomb, 487 00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:19,160 Speaker 3: you know, theaters in the United States, and we're going 488 00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:21,320 Speaker 3: to do all of these things. So I believe that 489 00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:24,800 Speaker 3: we understand this regime needs to go, and I do 490 00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:29,199 Speaker 3: think that is would be probably the top goal in 491 00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:32,800 Speaker 3: the most understated sort of way in the United States 492 00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:35,800 Speaker 3: and Israel. That would be a top line thing. With 493 00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:40,840 Speaker 3: that goes the nuclear program, With that goes the will 494 00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:44,240 Speaker 3: and the desire to support these proxies in the region. 495 00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:48,200 Speaker 3: If you get a moderate leader in office there or 496 00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:52,360 Speaker 3: running the Iranian people ninety three million to be exact, 497 00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:54,879 Speaker 3: you've got a different day in the Middle East. If 498 00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:57,480 Speaker 3: we can change the regime. Now, I think the stated 499 00:27:57,680 --> 00:28:00,760 Speaker 3: express purpose of the United States is to help liberate 500 00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:04,400 Speaker 3: the Iranian people, which we want to see happen. Nobody 501 00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:10,880 Speaker 3: wants to see them under this horrible Islamic terrorizing regime 502 00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:15,680 Speaker 3: that blinds people that are protesting and buries people alive 503 00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:20,679 Speaker 3: and has no mercy, is unrelenting toward their own people. 504 00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:23,560 Speaker 3: But more importantly, I think for the United States national 505 00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:27,359 Speaker 3: security interest, we have to take down this regime. We 506 00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:30,879 Speaker 3: have to embolden a new group of people to come forward, 507 00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:34,399 Speaker 3: and I think that's really the underlying work between Israel 508 00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:37,080 Speaker 3: and the United States today, while at the same time 509 00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:40,960 Speaker 3: bringing down their nuclear program, dealing a major blow to 510 00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:44,479 Speaker 3: their security apparatus throughout the country where they're not going 511 00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:48,160 Speaker 3: to be able to continue with their ballistic missile program 512 00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:49,680 Speaker 3: or nuclear. 513 00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:52,360 Speaker 1: God willing, and from your lips to God's ears, really, 514 00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:54,920 Speaker 1: that's frankly all that I can say about that. But 515 00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:57,280 Speaker 1: for now, I think the onus is on the US 516 00:28:57,320 --> 00:28:59,760 Speaker 1: initial to keep the pressure up, and based on all 517 00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:01,680 Speaker 1: that I can tell, that pressure is definitely going to 518 00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:05,600 Speaker 1: continue for the for the foreseeable future. There are a 519 00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:07,240 Speaker 1: lot of folks I know, you see it, I see it. 520 00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:08,360 Speaker 1: There are a lot of folks that are trying to 521 00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:11,800 Speaker 1: take advantage of this situation, and they're trying to do 522 00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:14,320 Speaker 1: so in a rather sordid way. They're trying to say 523 00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:17,480 Speaker 1: that Donald Trump is bib Nenci Yaho's puppet, and America 524 00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:21,040 Speaker 1: is fighting is fighting Israel's war, and all these tropes 525 00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:25,320 Speaker 1: and conspiracies and just oftentimes this outright bigoted, hateful things 526 00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:28,720 Speaker 1: that have been said in various circles for many decades now, 527 00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:31,960 Speaker 1: Folks like Candice Owens and Tucker Carlson just peddling a 528 00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:34,320 Speaker 1: lot of this garbage. And to me, this is all 529 00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:36,840 Speaker 1: part of a broader effort to break apart the Jewish 530 00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:41,040 Speaker 1: Christian biblical alliance. I'm curious if that is how you 531 00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:44,520 Speaker 1: see it. And ultimately my working thesis is that this 532 00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:47,360 Speaker 1: is nothing less than a war on the United States 533 00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:50,760 Speaker 1: and by extension, Western civilization sell because without that biblical alliance, Heather, 534 00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:51,840 Speaker 1: you don't get the West. 535 00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:54,120 Speaker 3: Do you. Well, you are you have hit the nail 536 00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:56,480 Speaker 3: on the head again. And I think, Josh, your efforts 537 00:29:57,160 --> 00:30:02,240 Speaker 3: on this program are magnanimous toward toward this whole problem 538 00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:04,600 Speaker 3: that you just stated. I think we have a holy 539 00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:08,840 Speaker 3: war going on, and with that holy war, it is 540 00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:15,440 Speaker 3: in the interest of our enemies, that is Islamic radical 541 00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:20,440 Speaker 3: you know, clerics, to divide and conquer our nations, our leadership, 542 00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:24,200 Speaker 3: and to do that through propaganda through media. And then 543 00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:26,560 Speaker 3: you have our whole Christian right that is sort of 544 00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:30,800 Speaker 3: going sideways in some ways on this adopting certain views. 545 00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:34,120 Speaker 3: I would call it the lazy route that is assigning 546 00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:39,400 Speaker 3: collective guilt to Jews is an intellectual failure, absolutely, and 547 00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:42,320 Speaker 3: so when we try to pit one prime minister against 548 00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:44,880 Speaker 3: a president like we're doing today with the United States 549 00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:47,680 Speaker 3: and Israel, we see some of that happening. That is 550 00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:52,400 Speaker 3: a lazy intellectual failure on behalf of so many people 551 00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:55,000 Speaker 3: that do not look into history and don't want to 552 00:30:55,120 --> 00:31:00,360 Speaker 3: grapple with history, the economy, the social understanding of these things, 553 00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:05,760 Speaker 3: the biblical understanding of it, and really the importance of 554 00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:10,160 Speaker 3: the national security issues that are at stake in our countries, no. 555 00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:13,080 Speaker 1: Doubt about that, and very well said, certainly on your front. 556 00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:15,680 Speaker 1: So folks have the Johnson Againity founder executive director of 557 00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:18,600 Speaker 1: the US Israel Education Association, follow them on X at 558 00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:21,200 Speaker 1: us I Education Heathery just about thirty seconds Laft.

We understand 564 00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:42,840 Speaker 3: the top collaborative relationship between the United States and Israel. 565 00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:45,840 Speaker 3: We meet with all the top leaders along with those 566 00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:50,960 Speaker 3: forerunning opportunities in the region like the Abraham Accords. We 567 00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:54,320 Speaker 3: have legislation on Capitol Hill that is capturing a lot 568 00:31:54,360 --> 00:32:00,280 Speaker 3: of that collaboration and really helping the Arab community come 569 00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:03,360 Speaker 3: together with Israel.

Welcome back. So 584 00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:45,280 Speaker 1: this debate continues. As you heard in our conversation there 585 00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:47,800 Speaker 1: with Heather, we talked with Eric Stocky guest today. My column, 586 00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:51,400 Speaker 1: which you can read everywhere and NEWSWEK, Los Angeles Times, 587 00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:54,960 Speaker 1: town Hall, Pjmedia, Hot Air, et cetera, is on this 588 00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:58,040 Speaker 1: question as to what is victory in operation Epic theory, 589 00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:00,640 Speaker 1: And as we've been saying now for two weeks since 590 00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:04,200 Speaker 1: the war started, victory is defined as the neutralization of 591 00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:07,120 Speaker 1: Iran as a threat to the United States and our interests. 592 00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:10,200 Speaker 1: There is then this secondary question that is raised from 593 00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:14,600 Speaker 1: that premise, which is what is the relationship between neutralization 594 00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:16,840 Speaker 1: of Ran as a threat and the goal of quote 595 00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:21,440 Speaker 1: unquote regime change? And the answer is complicated because what 596 00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:22,920 Speaker 1: we've been saying for a while, and I continue to 597 00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:25,440 Speaker 1: feel this way, is that in theory, in theory, it 598 00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:28,760 Speaker 1: is possible to have the neutralization of the honored public 599 00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:32,480 Speaker 1: as a threat without full scale regime change in theory, 600 00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:34,920 Speaker 1: and in fact, there's actually a decent chance this happens 601 00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:40,160 Speaker 1: where the regime is so decimated, is so decapitated so 602 00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:42,640 Speaker 1: knows that if they step out of line that the 603 00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:46,120 Speaker 1: overwhelming American and or Israeli airpower essentially below them to 604 00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:48,280 Speaker 1: smith the reens, that they will act in line. This 605 00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:51,360 Speaker 1: is essentially the Delci Rodriguez model in Venezuela. I'm a 606 00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:54,400 Speaker 1: huge fan of Francis Orcoppola and the Godfather series. I 607 00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:57,600 Speaker 1: think back to the opening scenes of The Godfather Part 608 00:33:57,640 --> 00:34:00,160 Speaker 1: one where you have Vido Coroleoni and then Luca brossialking 609 00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:03,720 Speaker 1: about making an offer that you can't refuse. That's basically 610 00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:05,760 Speaker 1: what we're talking about here. Is that possible when you 611 00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:09,439 Speaker 1: have radical seventy two virgins in heaven aspiring islamis well, 612 00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:12,440 Speaker 1: I don't know. So the ideal goal here is clearly 613 00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:16,080 Speaker 1: full scale regime changed. But that's going to have to 614 00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:19,560 Speaker 1: happen from the Iranian people. Bib Netiakhu actually saying that 615 00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:23,000 Speaker 1: himself over an Israel, saying that from his country prospective, 616 00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:25,200 Speaker 1: Israel is doing all that it can to facilitate the 617 00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:28,440 Speaker 1: conditions to help the running people rise up. Certainly that's 618 00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:31,200 Speaker 1: what the United States Sentcom is doing. As well. Ultimately, 619 00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:34,920 Speaker 1: the running people have to take this into their own hands. Meanwhile, 620 00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:39,360 Speaker 1: just some various updates for you from from across the battleground, 621 00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:42,640 Speaker 1: from across the region and how things are going. So tragically. 622 00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:46,720 Speaker 1: There's a tragic incidence where all six US crew members 623 00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:50,920 Speaker 1: on a refueling jet were killed over the skies of Iraq. 624 00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:55,360 Speaker 1: Just a horrific, horrific, terrible story, US sen Com announced. 625 00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:58,120 Speaker 1: And this early on Friday morning, a CAC one thirty 626 00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:00,720 Speaker 1: five plane went down approximately two pm e Eastern time 627 00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:05,400 Speaker 1: is on Thursday. Wasn't reported really until Friday, and we 628 00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:07,720 Speaker 1: do not believe this was hostile fire. We don't believe 629 00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:10,319 Speaker 1: was friendly fire. Right now, all we know is that 630 00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:13,360 Speaker 1: it's being investigated. So the death toll for Pres Burverss 631 00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:18,480 Speaker 1: tragedy continues to rise for the time being. And meanwhile, Iran, 632 00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:21,919 Speaker 1: from their perspective, the Pentagon, we had this joint press 633 00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:24,719 Speaker 1: conference this morning from Pete Hegseth and Dan Came. The 634 00:35:24,719 --> 00:35:28,319 Speaker 1: Pentagon is saying that Iran's missile and drone stockpile have 635 00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:32,160 Speaker 1: severely depleted to ninety five percent reduction in both their 636 00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:38,719 Speaker 1: offensive missile stockpile and their attack drone stockpile literally to 637 00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:43,240 Speaker 1: ninety five percent depletion. At the same time, these sons 638 00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:45,000 Speaker 1: of a you know what, still have some weapons and 639 00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:47,200 Speaker 1: they're still firing them all across the region for that matter. 640 00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:51,280 Speaker 1: So a second Iranian drone was intercept through the skies 641 00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:54,800 Speaker 1: of Turkey, which is a NATO country, not really an ally, 642 00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:57,040 Speaker 1: they're very problematic under the strong men rescip type or 643 00:35:57,400 --> 00:36:01,000 Speaker 1: a NATO country. Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia apparently intercepted dozens of 644 00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:04,240 Speaker 1: drones as well. The UAE, the Kniabab Emirates still getting 645 00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:06,680 Speaker 1: lots of incoming fire as well. The UAE actually has 646 00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:08,800 Speaker 1: been the single most hit country in this entire conflict. 647 00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:12,400 Speaker 1: They've actually gotten more than double the amount of missile 648 00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:15,480 Speaker 1: and drum attacks as has Israel itself. Donald Trump not 649 00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:17,920 Speaker 1: happy about this, actually, Donald Trump taking to true social 650 00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:21,840 Speaker 1: he is on Friday morning saying, quote, watch what happens 651 00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:25,640 Speaker 1: to these deranged scumbags today? Talking about Iran, he continued, 652 00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:29,240 Speaker 1: Iran's navy is gone, their air force is no longer, Missiles, 653 00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:31,680 Speaker 1: drones and everything else are being decimayed, and their leaders 654 00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:34,840 Speaker 1: have been wiped from the face of the earth. Donald 655 00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:38,040 Speaker 1: Trump just reiterating also in no uncertain terms, saying that 656 00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:40,360 Speaker 1: we're going to be hitting them, the Iranians, very hard 657 00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:44,160 Speaker 1: over the next week. So there's really no indication whatsoever 658 00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:47,840 Speaker 1: that this operation is slowing down anytime soon. As I mentioned, 659 00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:49,480 Speaker 1: there was this joint press commerce at the Pentagon this 660 00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:52,440 Speaker 1: morning between Secretary of War Pete Hegsath and the Chairman 661 00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:55,640 Speaker 1: of the Joint Chief of Staff Dan raising Kine, Dan 662 00:36:55,719 --> 00:36:59,880 Speaker 1: Kaine saying that today, earlier today, Friday, March thirteenth, is 663 00:36:59,920 --> 00:37:03,960 Speaker 1: to be the heaviest day of US bombing of the 664 00:37:04,120 --> 00:37:07,440 Speaker 1: entire war. A Secretary of warptex Hath had some pretty 665 00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:10,960 Speaker 1: fiery words for the Iranian regime, and they're aiders and 666 00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:12,719 Speaker 1: a betters as well. Let's go ahead and actually listen 667 00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:15,080 Speaker 1: to what Secretary of Warp tex that said this morning 668 00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:15,760 Speaker 1: at the Pentagon. 669 00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:19,440 Speaker 4: We know the new so called not so supreme leader 670 00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:24,400 Speaker 4: is wounded and likely disfigured. He put out of statement 671 00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:28,240 Speaker 4: yesterday a weak one actually, but there was no voice 672 00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:32,520 Speaker 4: and there was no video. It was a written statement. 673 00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:36,600 Speaker 4: He called for unity. Apparently, killing tens of thousands of 674 00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:41,000 Speaker 4: protesters is his kind of unity. Iran has plenty of 675 00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:44,160 Speaker 4: cameras and plenty of voice recorders. Why a written statement. 676 00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:50,240 Speaker 4: I think you know why. His father dead. He's scared, 677 00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:53,160 Speaker 4: he's injured, he's on the run, and he lacks legitimacy. 678 00:37:53,239 --> 00:37:57,839 Speaker 4: It's a mess for them. Who's in charge Iran may 679 00:37:57,880 --> 00:38:02,359 Speaker 4: not even know. With every passing hour, we know, and 680 00:38:02,440 --> 00:38:06,319 Speaker 4: we know they know that the military capabilities of their 681 00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:10,840 Speaker 4: evil regime are crumbling. They can barely communicate, let alone coordinate. 682 00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:14,680 Speaker 4: They're confused, and we know it. Our response, we will 683 00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:19,440 Speaker 4: keep pressing, We will keep pushing, keep advancing. No quarter, 684 00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:22,960 Speaker 4: no mercy for our enemies. 685 00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:28,400 Speaker 1: No mercy for our enemies, says Pete Hexth. Pretty strong stuff, 686 00:38:29,120 --> 00:38:31,680 Speaker 1: not mincing words again Dan Kane at that same Prescott 687 00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:32,799 Speaker 1: and saying that to day is going to be the 688 00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:36,120 Speaker 1: heaviest day of bombing. So the United States not taking 689 00:38:36,120 --> 00:38:38,400 Speaker 1: its foot off the gas pedal. We are now two 690 00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:40,920 Speaker 1: weeks into this conflict and this thing is now full 691 00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:43,399 Speaker 1: steam ahead. To put a mildly, here's a little more 692 00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:46,240 Speaker 1: this morning from Petexth at the Pentagon. 693 00:38:46,520 --> 00:38:50,120 Speaker 4: Reports that the Trump administration underestimated the Iran War's impact 694 00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:54,760 Speaker 4: on the Strait of horr moves patently ridiculous, of course, 695 00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:57,680 Speaker 4: for decades Iran has threatened shipping in the strait of 696 00:38:57,719 --> 00:39:00,600 Speaker 4: horror moves. This is always what they do. Hold the 697 00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:06,120 Speaker 4: straight hostage. CNN doesn't think we thought of that. It's 698 00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:11,439 Speaker 4: a fundamentally unserious report. The sooner David Ellison takes over 699 00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:17,040 Speaker 4: that network, the better. Another example of a fake headline 700 00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:22,040 Speaker 4: that I saw yesterday, war widening. Here's a real headline 701 00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:25,840 Speaker 4: for you, for an actual patriotic press. How about Iran 702 00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:30,279 Speaker 4: shrinking going underground? You see, Iran's leaders are hiding in 703 00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:33,480 Speaker 4: bunkers and moving into civilian areas. The only thing that 704 00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:38,800 Speaker 4: is widening is our advantage. Not to mention, our golf 705 00:39:38,840 --> 00:39:42,000 Speaker 4: partner's stepping up even more now going on the offense 706 00:39:42,760 --> 00:39:44,840 Speaker 4: and have always been with us on the defense with 707 00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:52,720 Speaker 4: collective and integrated air defenses. Our will it is unshakable, 708 00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:59,759 Speaker 4: our options maximized, and our capabilities still building. We're going up, 709 00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:04,120 Speaker 4: they're going down. As I said from the start, President 710 00:40:04,200 --> 00:40:08,880 Speaker 4: Trump holds the cards. He'll determine to pace the tempo 711 00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:12,239 Speaker 4: and the timing of this conflict. His hand firmly on 712 00:40:12,320 --> 00:40:16,360 Speaker 4: the wheel as well as on the throttle, setting America 713 00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:19,359 Speaker 4: first piece through strength in action. 714 00:40:20,600 --> 00:40:22,400 Speaker 1: I mean, this is strong stuff. I mean, I mean, 715 00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:23,600 Speaker 1: how do you not listen to that? And how do 716 00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:26,960 Speaker 1: you not feel inspired? Again? This is an operation that 717 00:40:27,040 --> 00:40:29,400 Speaker 1: is not slowing down anytime soon. They know exactly what 718 00:40:29,400 --> 00:40:31,919 Speaker 1: they want to achieve here. They want to neutralize Ran 719 00:40:32,120 --> 00:40:35,080 Speaker 1: as a threat, and thus far they haven't quite done 720 00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:37,640 Speaker 1: it yet. You have this so called ghost Ayatola as 721 00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:39,960 Speaker 1: Mushaba Kameny is being referred to because the fact that 722 00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:42,600 Speaker 1: he has appear only an amputated leg. He might be 723 00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:44,560 Speaker 1: in a coma. Some people say he might be dead there. 724 00:40:44,680 --> 00:40:46,800 Speaker 1: They're throwing out these written statements. But the regime is 725 00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:50,640 Speaker 1: not sufficiently chastened, is not sufficiently decimated. It's such that 726 00:40:50,680 --> 00:40:54,120 Speaker 1: the Iranian people are capable of actually taking matters into 727 00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:57,400 Speaker 1: their own hands. And as I said, well, de Pentagon 728 00:40:57,440 --> 00:41:00,880 Speaker 1: confirmed that ninety percent of their miss and drones stockpile 729 00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:04,719 Speaker 1: have now been depleted. They're still firing some missles and 730 00:41:04,760 --> 00:41:09,160 Speaker 1: drones over at Saudi Arabia, Uei, Kaktar, Frankly, Turkey and 731 00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:12,160 Speaker 1: so forth, and on and on and on. Look this weekend, 732 00:41:12,239 --> 00:41:14,400 Speaker 1: here are a few things that I will be looking 733 00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:17,080 Speaker 1: for come Monday morning. I will check in when it 734 00:41:17,120 --> 00:41:20,480 Speaker 1: comes to a few possible developments. One secretary heads that 735 00:41:20,520 --> 00:41:22,759 Speaker 1: they're talking about how the Arab countries in the region 736 00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:24,400 Speaker 1: are now starting to join in when it comes to 737 00:41:24,520 --> 00:41:27,600 Speaker 1: offensive military capabilities. Well, that's the first time, frankly, that 738 00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:29,120 Speaker 1: I'm really hearing that I have not seen a whole 739 00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:32,800 Speaker 1: lot of detail when it comes to up the Saudi Amoradi, Katari, Bahraini, 740 00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:35,279 Speaker 1: et cetera militaries are actually doing to assist what thus 741 00:41:35,320 --> 00:41:38,440 Speaker 1: far has been pretty much exclusively a joint by national 742 00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:42,280 Speaker 1: American Israeli military offensive against the Zonic Republic of Iran. 743 00:41:42,520 --> 00:41:46,120 Speaker 1: I very much hope that these Arab countries, perhaps above 744 00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:48,200 Speaker 1: all the UAE. Again, they've taken more income in than 745 00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:49,520 Speaker 1: any country in the entire region. 746 00:41:49,520 --> 00:41:49,759 Speaker 3: There. 747 00:41:49,920 --> 00:41:52,520 Speaker 1: I'm not really sure exactly what the Saudi Amadi ETCA 748 00:41:52,600 --> 00:41:54,440 Speaker 1: armies waiting for. I hope to have more for you 749 00:41:54,560 --> 00:41:57,640 Speaker 1: on that front on Monday. Also, how about defections. Donald 750 00:41:57,680 --> 00:42:00,520 Speaker 1: Trump said at Durut, Florida, earlier this week on Monday 751 00:42:00,760 --> 00:42:03,279 Speaker 1: that if you are in the IRGC and you care 752 00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:06,040 Speaker 1: about your life, now is the time to defect. Now 753 00:42:06,120 --> 00:42:07,520 Speaker 1: is the time to try to get some sort of 754 00:42:07,520 --> 00:42:09,839 Speaker 1: immunity deal, some sort of safe passage there or else 755 00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:12,080 Speaker 1: you're going to end up debt. We haven't seen a 756 00:42:12,120 --> 00:42:14,600 Speaker 1: whole lot of high profile defections when it comes to 757 00:42:14,719 --> 00:42:17,480 Speaker 1: the as long revolutionary guard core of the ideological enforcers 758 00:42:17,520 --> 00:42:19,279 Speaker 1: of the regime, or frankly, for that matter, when it 759 00:42:19,280 --> 00:42:22,680 Speaker 1: comes to the actual conventional military apparatus and bureaucracy either. 760 00:42:23,160 --> 00:42:24,719 Speaker 1: I'm hoping to see a lot more of that there. 761 00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:26,120 Speaker 1: I don't know what's going to happen there, but these 762 00:42:26,160 --> 00:42:29,920 Speaker 1: are some of the markers that I'll be looking at 763 00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:31,759 Speaker 1: this weekend to try to assess what's going to happen there. 764 00:42:31,760 --> 00:42:33,720 Speaker 1: I'm sure it's going to be an action packed weekend. 765 00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:35,399 Speaker 1: I know that we look forward to joining you again 766 00:42:35,440 --> 00:42:37,600 Speaker 1: on Monday to unpack at all. Folks, have a great 767 00:42:37,719 --> 00:42:39,759 Speaker 1: rest of your weekend. Josh Hammer signing off for now. 768 00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:42,280 Speaker 1: We'll be right back on Monday.
